SYECIAL CORRESVONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Wasiincron, August 13—7 P. M. General Eouston’s motion to-day, with reference to the refusal of McGinnis, till recently a principal clerk in the Treasury Department, to answer interrogatories of the Special Committee, will doubtless attract attention, and some more light upon the field of operations of the Committee will be of interest. Gravecharges of black- mail practices have been laid before the committee, in connection with the California lighthouse contracts, in. volving seriously individuals in the Treasury Dopart- ment ; and several charges are also advanced in con- nection with the contracts for marble for the Charles- ton, 8. C., custom house. Mr. Corwin, the Secre- tary, is not in the slightest degreo implicated in these transactions ; but persons in his office proper, as it is termed, are, upon affidavit, accused of these black mail practices, by which the government has been chiseled out of thousands of dollars. Nor will the labors of the committee be confined to the departments; at least one officer employed at the Capitol will get a haul- ing over the coals. The investigations of the committee will bring to light some strange revelatione, Poetmaster-Cieneral Hall’s nomination, as Judge of the United States Court. Northern district’ New York, was, rent in to-day to the Senate. Also, two judges from Utah, one from Missouri. and the other from Indiana. 1 believe neither of them Mormons. Alvarado Hunter's nomination for reinstatement in the pavy. was also received to-day. In executive session, some discussion took place on an Indian treaty, whén an adjournment took place for want ofa quorum, XY... THE VACANT JUDGESHIP—MR. WEBSTER. FROM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of PRIVATE WiLLM, This being the day when, under the rules, any objec- tion to a private bill could postpone it and no debate be- ing in order. more than thirty private bills were passed, apd a8 many more objected to and postponed.

INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE CALIFORNIA DRY DOCK, A communication was received from the Navy Depart- ment, in answer to the resolution of the Senate. calling for copies of all contracts made for the use or hire of the ary dock in California. Secretary sends ina copy of the only contract contemplated, which is with Samuel D, Dakin Rutherford Moody, John 8, Gilbert, and Zeno Se- cor. a principals, and James F. Secor and James T. Dean, as suretics, ll of New York. The Sveretary says the contract has not yot received his signature, owing to the delay in furnishing a satisfactory certificate of the competency of the party to the contract to respond to the full amount ef for ure stipulated in the inetru- ment.

Dr, Asa D, Loup, of Ohio, delivered an ad- dress on this rubjeot. the chief points in whic were, to show the necessity of impressing some great truths on two classes of society—on the wealthy, that it was to their true apd best interest to see that the working class was instructed at apy cost, and that every dollar expend. ed for this object would be returned ten, or fifty fold on the lower class, that no effort however great or perse- veiling, would amount to anything without education He then illustrated his arguinent by some references to particular effects produced on manufactures and manu- facturers. To the last mentioned class, he would ad- ress the argument, that God never meant man to (excel other animals by means of mere physical or murcular power, If such had been his intention, he would have endowed him with the powers of a Heroules—with greater strength than any of the inferior animals, But the divine purpose was to place him ag Jord of the creation, by means of his intellectual endowments. He bad not given him @ microscopic eye, but the reason and the intellect to construct a mioro- scope. Other instances he also adduced to clucidate this position, and the intellect being the means of acquiring excellence, it must be cultivated beyond ali other con- siderations by those desiring excellence, These were the truths that it behoved them to disseminate; on the one: hand, the desire of acquiring education, and on the other. the willingness to afford it, At the conclusion of the address, P.

In Toston they bad folt the same diffioulty. He moved that it be laid on the table, After « few more remarks from Professor Henry, the last motion was put, and the Chair thought the ayes jad it. A show of hands were then taken, and sixteen counted on each side of the question, ‘The Crainman said that being the case, and the vote tie, it devolved upon him to give the casting one, and under all circumstances he deemed it most expedient the rerolution should lie upon the table; he, therefore, voted “nye.” Laid on the table accordingly.

CONCLUSION, The Tewrorany Crarmman much regretted the absence of their president, to whose opening address they had listened with such pleasure, as it deprived them of his valedictory. They bad met under auspicious cireum~ stances, and had had a convention of uncommon terest. Much valuable information had been derived from the papers and reports read; and he should return home feeling improved by it. They had been reminded of the death of one of their founders since they last met, and before next year, rome of them, too, might be called away.
