AFFAIRS AT SAN Despatches trom the Pacific and Gulf Squadrons, JUAN, PROCEEDINGS OF CONCIRESS, be, Rey um 6 @ur Special Washington Despatch. ‘Wassuxctox, March 16, 1880, RRJECTION OF TH: NICARAGUA TREATY, "Bho Senase in Executive session to day refused to ratify Who Nicaragua treaty, aod then removed the injunction of gecresy. Three hours were consumed in discussing the fweaty. By unazimous consent, and at the suggestion of Micaragua, the Senate struck out the paragraph by which he United State: agreed to ase all its moral and effective force to prevent hostile expeditions destined for the republic of Nicaragua. The objections to ‘the treaty are contained in two propositions in the six- teenth gection. The first authorizes the sending in of ‘troops by permission of the Nicaraguan government, and to be retained at the pleasure of that government. The peeond gives the United States the right, when necessary to protect the transportation of our mails and citizens, to wend troops there. Both of these propositions were wtricken out yesterday. To day Mr. Wilson moved to re- onsider the yote whereby the first was atricken out, which, after sharp opp: sition from tho republican Sona- ters, was carried, all the republicans voting against it except Mersrs, Wilson, Doolittle, Sumner and Foote. ‘The inciguation of eome of the republicans became s0 great at this defeat that they moved to reconsider the @eoond proposition, and carried it, and then insisted uj0n ® direct vole upon the treaty, thuz bardened, and the Senate refnsed to ratify it by @ vole of twenty yeas to thirty.cco nsys, every repudlican voting against it ex- wept Mr. Wilson. The conduct of this Senator by this vote eurprieed his friends and elicited the applause of the democrats. ‘The treaty was rejected by the following vote, two-thirds being necersary to its ratification :— ‘Yure—Mesars.

DESPATCHES FROM THE HOME AND PACIFIC SQUADRONS, Teespatches were received at the Navy Department this morning, from Home and Pacific squadrons, giving de- tale of courte martial recently held on the Isthmus, which thad becn anticipated by the Herary’s correspondents. ‘The health of the squadrons was generally good. DESPATCHES YROM THR PACIFIC MILITARY DRPARTIONNT. ‘The War Department received voluminous depatches ‘thie morning from the Pacific. General Harney was still at Vancouver. Tho Indians in that neighborhood were ‘quiet and peaceably disposed, although there had been Bome cepredations committed of minor importance. Gen. Hlarney does not anticipate much trouble from them. At San Juan matters had settled quietly down, and eyery- ‘Uiing was going on peacefully and satisfactory. POSTAL APFAIRS. ‘The House Post Office Committee met this morning, and deposed of «large amount of unimportant business. They agreed to take up at their meefing on Friday next Mr, Butterfield’s proposition to establish a line of steamers ‘between certain points in the United States along the Gulf of Mexico to certain porta in that country. Owing to the present unsettied and distracted condition of that ‘evuntry, and with a view of opening direct communication ‘whh that pcople, this proposition is goncrally well re- eelved by ali parties in Congress. AYPOINTMENT OF CADETS AT LARGE. Me following is a list of cadets for West Point, appointed ‘ large by the President for 1860, They are the sons of eMficers and foldiers who have distinguished themselves fm the defence of their country:— Béward W. Anderson, Walter Abbot, B Janes W. Fetter, J . / 6 W. Coyler, Joveph L 8 Kirby, William Waller, grandson ‘Alexander Sandford Clark, of ex- President Tyler. F. W. Foot, THE MISSOURI CONTESTED ELRCTION CASE. ‘The Commitice on Elections have had before them to ‘dny the contested election between Mesers. Blair and Barrett, of Missouri, and Mr. Blair concluded his opening mpeech. He made a strong case, ad unless it can be met apd explained away will ineure him his seat. He showed, by the most conclusive evidence, that the Irregularities, Braud avd corrupt conduct on the part of the Judges in certain precincts, and the misconduct and ballot box etuf- fing of tbe friends of Mr. Barrett in others, will compel ‘the exclusion of the entire vote in these precincts from fe count. This will take from Mr. Barrett upwards of eight hundred votes, and overcome the majority returned, and give Binir between two and three hundred majority. He also challenged about eight or nme hundred indi- vidual votes cast for Mr. Barrett, and showed that they were fraudulent. This will bring up Mr. Blair's majority ‘to pearly one thousand, which bis friends claim is lees than be received. The evidence is said to be very inte- vesting, and shows a systematic case of plotting and fraud mever before practised in this country, oxcept in bleeding Kaneas. The report of the committee is looked to with great interest, and the discussion in the House is likely to attract the attention of the courtry. THE ROMESTRAD mitt The Homestead bill which passed the House was re- Serred in the Senate to the Committee on Public Lands. ‘Mat committee recommended the striking out of the en- acting clause, and inserting the Senste bill drafted by Mr. Jobneon, of Tennessee. Mr. Johnson's bill ex- ‘tudes, among those who shall have the benefit wf the public lands, single men over twenty-one years of age, widows without chikiren, and foreigners ‘who may declare their intentions after the passage of the ‘BIN, and only allows those who are recipients of land un der the bill to recetve alternate sections. The House bill Secludes the parties named above. It is said the republi- eans will accept Johnson's bill if they cannot get one which passed the Houee. ‘THE PURAEES IN THE NAVY. Mr. Moree, from the Committce on Naval Affairs, to whom was referred the House bill for the modifi. tention of the sen cervice pay of pursers in the navy, has ‘been instructed to report a bill to the House, which he will do st an carly day, providing that from and after ‘Duly 1, 1800, the sen pay of pursors in the navy shall be @etermined by the length of service, instead of the rates ef ships in which they may serve, and thattheir annual pay ‘Ghali be as fotiows:—for the first tix years aftor date of commission, $1,800; for the second six years, $2,400; after twelve years’ service, $3,000. This bil! promizes to meet ‘with general favor in the uavy, ast will prevent a great deal of trouble and expense. POST OFFICE BLANKS. Pursuant to the order of the Poet Office Department, thirty-two thousand Post Office blanks have been ortored @o-day, the largest orer made at any one time. The new daw, under the contract system, giving the work to the Sowest bidder, will go into effect next Tweaday, and it is ‘emdersiood that the present printer, F R. Jewett, of Bul. alo, and others, will bid for the work at about cighty per Cent less than present prices. e iw FOLIC.

TUR ROUSE READY FOR ROBINESS. It fw highly important to the country to know that the Bnited States House of Representatives, which met on the Sth of December, 1859, have, as carly asthis day, the 16th of March, 1860, adopted the report of the Committee on the Revision of the Rules, and are now prepared to do the public business. One of the new rules made is decidedly ‘an improvement on the old, inasmuch as it provides that ‘a single captious member cannot prevent the passage of a Dill by his single effort, for it requires five to object the second time the bill has regehed an objection day. Other mp rtant amendments to the old rules have been made. TRE PROPOSED CONFERERCE OF SOURTERN STATES. There was a conference of the representatives of South Carolina, Miseiesippi and Alabama te-night, upon the sub- ject of the proposed conference for a Southern conven- tion, to come off in June next. The invitation came from representatives from South Carolina, the Legisiatare of that State having suggested it. Some of the Southern States decline to participate in it, Virginia among the number. Mississippi and Alabama gave it their approval. The object of consultation was to decide upon some plan by which an attendance might be most conveniently se- cured in case it was determined to carry out the idea. The whole subject was discussed at considerable length, and it ls understood there was @ strong expression of opinion against it. No definitive action, however, was had upon jhe matter. It willbe resumed at their next meeting, which will be held in a day or two. South Carolina, it will be recollected, initiated the move- ment. Virginia declined to participate in it,and Missis- sippi and Alabama approved it and arranged for the ap- pointment of delegates, but the South Carolina Legislatare adjourned without any such action. Although no formal Proposition was adopted, the majority incline to the opinion that the Governor of South Carolina should as semble the Legislature of that State to select delegates, and of this we will probably soon be informed. LAND FOR LOUISIANA RAILROADS. ‘The Commissioner of the General Land Office has certi- fied to the Secretary of the Interior for approval two supplemental liste of lands, embracing thirty-four thou- sand four hundred and eighty-three acres, inuring to the State of Louisiana for the New Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western Railroad.

Dering the proceedings an ineffectualattempt was made by Mr. (dem) of Texas, to confine the discussion in Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union to the subject pemding, and be spoke of the abuses of the present practice, and the useless consumption of time, to the discredit of the Rouse. Mr. Wasmncrn, (rep.) of Me , regarded such latitude in debate, ag an essential safety vaive.

OUR SPECIAL ALBANY ATCH. Atnanry, March 16, 1860. ‘There is a bill before the Senate, under the title of ‘An ‘act concerning the Commissioners of Emigration and the Marine Hospital,” which has a decided big woedchuck im {tone that must be drivem out, or there may be stormy times ahead. The Dill bas been made the special order next after the Toll bill in the Senate, The title being one that would mot lead a person to suspect anything wrong, they have quietly pushed it alowg, and I understand that they have set their pins in the Senate in such a manner that it can be rushed through. It will be remembered that a bill paased the Legisla- ture last year preventing any person from being sent to the Marine Hospital, on Staten Island, who is afflicted with contagious disease. This placed one Dr. Jerome in the condition of not having amything to do, having large and ‘commodions buildings under his charge and nothing to pot in them. Something must be dono to fill up the empty rooms, that his enug salary may be again estab- Nehet What better place to smuggle an arrangement of that kind through (han the Legislature? Accordingly @ bill was drawn up, and the guns of the interested par- thes pointed against the Senate, where, if all reports are true, they will cause the people of Richmond county to rige en masse against them. Like all other schomes sgainst the rights of the they have been Seeking mee tec eg have nara emer on 80 a8 to, if poesible, ‘deceive the very e! " ‘tm this and Marino ears of the woodchuck Hoepita) bill will be seen sticking out in the second sec- tlon, which provides as follows :— “The - A . $pgs and structures, or other property, which have been, or mey hereafter be purchased, ¢) or constructed, designed, provided or used for quarantine or Marine Dogpital purposes, at or in the port of New York, are hereby vested in the Board of Commissisners named in this act, to be by them held in trust for the people of State, and the sole and exclusive control of except in regard to the sanitary treatment of inmates thereof, is hereby given to the said Commiesioners, for the purpose of receiving and - taining therein, and thereupon all persons or afthcted with any contagious, infectious or pestilen dleeare, or other disease preventing their immediate movel to apy more distant bogpital, and who shall sent thither by the Health Officer of the port of York, by the Commissionere of or the Board of Health of the city eof New York and .?? This bill hus been urged forward with a porseve! energy by Dr. Jerome and @ few of his aasociates, there is a fair prospect of the bill becoming a law, the people in that locality take immediate syeps to de- feat it. Legislation at Albany scems to be conducted on the principle of bolstering up broken down politicians, mak: places for political place seekers, and incre the cof- fers of the rich against the poor. In fact, the controlling motives here are in mt cases directly opposite from what it is intended under the constitution. If anything comes up for the action of sep everything is Ubrown in the way by the lobby gang that infest the Le- gislawure at 2)! timer, end are hanging around for the pur- pore of geting their fingers into everything that comes up. Take for instance the Central Park, the only measure that bas been brought before the Legisiature trom New York thie winter tor the direct benedt of the people. A hungry band was about here, circulating al) manner of stores snd@ doing their best to defeat this laudable work—a work which every laboring man in New York is interested— having failed to defeat the bil) allowing the Commissioners to raise additional funds, these uneasy, disapointed and hopery politicians having thus failed in’ getting a chance to transfer a portion of the 1unds into their own or friends’ pockets, have now organized a new mode to get their friencs into the Board of Commissioners and thus furnish 8 place for a hungry crew that have not the honesty to earn their own living. This new dodge comes to us under the plan of abolishing the present Board of Park Commis- sioners and organizing a new board. itisto be hoped that the Commmieetoners will not pay any attention to this new move of the gang that have been for a long time gnash- ing their teeth, but let those members who want to be- come tools of this gang be known to the masses of the peopie that the laboring class may remember them at the polls whenever their names may be presented for any office. There is certainly no man from the city of New York that will throw apy obstacle in the way of this noble work, unices he is here as the representative of the Fifth avenue aristocracy, who can go off to fashionable watering places and spend their summers—that can re- ceive the sanction of the people. If there is one above all others that the poorer cl in New Yor! need, it js this park, and whocver stands in the way, or attempts to cefeat its early completion, will be remem: bered by them. Let thore who are here ‘ing their teeth have thelr course, the-sooner ley wore are brought to understand that it is uty to make laws to protect and provide for the tatoring clazees, and not the wealthy or disappointed po- liticians, the better; and as this Central Park question is one where the lines are meg tet dod with the labor. ing classer on one side and the disappointed politicians and men with fat purses on the other, give the ‘ties here a chance to rhow their hands; the people will take care of the balance, The New York tax levy came down from the Senate this morning with the following amendment in it:— And also a further aum for the Commissioners of Recerds to Uabilities and for complet’ng the contract for in- cices of gfantors and graviees of conveyances in the office of the Kegieter, the eum of $193 #2’, aa'd aum to be paid by the County Treasurer on the order dnd cerutieate of said Commie- Le 7 Mr. Conkling moved to strike out that amendment of the Senate, and supposed his motion by a speech at some length, during w he read an editorial from the Tribune on the question. He characterized the whole thing as an outrage upon the people of New York city. Mr. Arcularius replied, pec the Senate amend- ‘ment, a8 did also Mr. Jacques, who looked upon this work of tie Commissioners as being one of great importance to the city of New York, and he hoped that the Senate amendment would be concurred in. Mr. A. Smith moved the previous question, whish was ordered, and the Senate amendment was concurred in— yeas 91, nays 13. ‘The standing committees of the Assembly reported a Lede behets of bilis x morning, covering all manner of questions; many of them were reported complste, which at once places them on the list of third read: ing bills.
