Van Brunt was taken up. Mr. Prrrs, from the Committee on Privileges and Elections, submitted a minority report in favor of Mr. Van Brunt, which was rejected by 46 to 65. The resolution admitting Henry Claussen to the seat oc- cutee George B. Van Brunt was then adopted by THE NEW YORK TAX LEVY. The Committee on Cities gave notice that the New York Tax Levy bill will be taken up in the commit- tee on Thursday next. Mr. Prrrs rose to a question of privilege and moved that the Committee on Cities be directed to report ae. New York city tax levy forthwith, Which was Mr. Frear said that the committee had decided to take up the tax levy on Thursday.

The Governor had no control over the business of the Assembly, and he denied his right to interfere. This was Governor Fenton’s fourth year and it was the first time he had found out ‘that there was a New York tax levy before the Assembly. He coula ac- count for such a course on no other ground than that the House was now democratic, Mr. Pirrs said that the message did not assume to dictate; it simply recommended that the tax lev} should be taken up in time to be properly considered, to the Senate, which were principally military.

BROADWAY THRATRE.—Chanfrau’s successful en- gagement 1s terminating amid a blaze of excitement and delight. Monday evening “Our American Cousin at Home” was revived with Chanfrau in his double impersonation of “Sam” and “Dundreary.” The other characters were in keeping and well cast. The comedy was followed by the roaring farce of “The Widow’s Victim,” in which Chanfrau gave his inimi- . table imitations of celebrated actors, which were re- ceived with merited applause by a large and appre- clative audience.

The theatre isnot large enough to elforts of the impeachers a failure. ‘Their witnesses have proved nothing, whereas it is expected that the evidence on the part of the defence will be ample, conclusive and con- fusing to the prosecutors. The test votes on the rulings of the Chief Justice are also regarded with some significance. In many instances they have been sustained by decisive votes, and in others, when the rulings have seemed to favor the defence and have not been sustained, they have divided the Senate more equally than could have been expected, In some instances votes have shown the exact classification given by those who have speculated as to the result on the final vote. * ‘The outspoken advocates of conviction—those who have prejudged the case and were ready to vote the first day of the trial—do not feel confident. Appre- hensions are eee that all will not obey the crack of old Thad’s whtps that his scourge is not s0 potent in the Senate as in the House. Mr. Sumner is distrustful, if not disheartened. He can count with certainty upon a mn of the Senate, but not upon the requisite two-thirds. Taking those who are regarded as doubtful, who are not ledged by their voluntary declarations, and add them to the democrats and conservatives and the Senate would be nearly equaily divided, Some who profess to have reliable information place at least eight radical Senators in the enumeration for acquittal, which ig ample forthe purpose.

BowgrY THEATRE.—From pit to dome this theatre was crowded on Monday evening on the reappearance after nearly a year’s absence from the stage of Mis# Fanny Herring, in times past so great a favorite with the patrons of this popular theatre. The drama, the “Female Detective,” in which Miss Herring took six different characters and in which her astonishing versatility was displayed to most pleasing advantage. was selected as the Inaugural piece of her present engagement. Her acting has lost none of its charm- naiveté of style or of its fidelity and brilliancy of personation. "Her reception was a most flattering one, She was. called out at the close and made @ neat little speech, The piece is admirably cast, and with other equally attractive pien underlined there can be no doubt of crowded houses during Miss Herring’sengagement, Sueceed- ing the “Female Detective” there was a pleasing medley of so and dances, after which was played “The Blacksmith of Autwerp,”’ & most acceptable drama, most acceptably cast and wost acceptably received, New Yor« Srapr THRATRE.—The opera of “Der Freischiitz”” was given at this place on Monday even> ing to a crowded house.

The comedy entitled “Gentle- man from freland,” was brief and brisk, Mr. Brougham as Gerald Fitmanurize, with Old Chip, us Mr. Clover, kept the andience as cheerfal and happy as if they were really in clover. The concluding piece—really John Brougiam’s big séte—was sented in the most admirable shape. As usual, al? the appointments were superb. The company ap- peared to enjoy the fun as much as the audience: hence everyb ao in the best of good humor..

Thad Stevens in’the Pennsylvania Legis ture—His Antl-Masonic Proclivities—His Tapeworm Railroad. WASHINGTON, April 6, 1868. Thad Stevens, the long acknowledged leader of the House in its radical onslaughts upon the consticution, the flercest if not the strongest spirit of all the radi- cal band, impeachment’s foremost champion, was not always ha successful in his schemes and efforis as he has latterly been as an exponent of radicalism. At the time when the great anti-Masonic excite- ment—born to life from the Morgan bugbear—swept over the land, like a fierce simoom, from Maine to Georgia, Thad Stevens was a member of the Legisla- ture of Pennsylvania, Espousing the cause of the anti-Masons from disappointment, and actuated by feelings of the bitterest animosity against the Masons for reasons that will be made ap- parent, he introduced a resolution to the effect that the House, of which he was @ menther, inquire into the snbject of Masonry, with power to send for persons and papers. The Houve, largely. anti- Masonic: bers a8 Well as the Governor of the State havi elected upon the then tremendous issue of the day—adopted almost unanimonsiy the resolution, and a number of weli known Masons were summoned to attend the “high court” then in ses- sion at Harrisburg, to give evidence in matters ap- pertaining to the Masonic order. A thorough investigation was to he had in the premises and the secrets of the brotherhood laid bare to the world, The “devil,” the “goat and the “gridiron” were to be shown up in all their hideous- ness; the fearful and_ horrible rites and ceremoniais were to be brought forth and exposed to the light of day, and the black monster, Masoury, was to receive its death blow then and there, Thad Stevens was the St. George who Was to an- nihilate the dragon. On the day appointed for the commencement of the proceedings, which were to consummate the above, every membe i, as we have suid, a majority of the House we Masons—was in his seat, lous tor, yet dreading, the Me gon | of the curtain that Was to reveal hitherto veiled horrors that darkened the ccren of the Masonic brotherhood, ‘The House was with Masons and anti-Masons, and among the former Was a Well known Maxon, master of aiodge in’ the State, who had been summoned to Harrtsburg in re- lation to the matter then about to be igated in f ihe same gentleman opening Amity idth of seventy-five feet.and extending it Legislative Report on the Public Duties of the Health Officer of New York. * ‘The Legislative Committee who were charged with an examination of the public’ duties of the Health OMicer unanimously report:— ‘That there were many burdens imposed upon com- merce in the administration of quarantine in the port of New York which very justly form the subject of complaint on the part of those engaged in it, but for which this committee fs satisfied the Health OMicer is not responsible ; that these burdens were due mainly to the want of proper facilities for carry- ing out quarantine, and that the Legislature alone can supply this defictency. The report proceeds in detail to call the attention of the Legislature to the defects and recommends prompt action. It will be remeinbered that this Committee of Public Health, consists of seven members, three of whom are phy- sicians; that on thelr return to Albany they, as a committee, were directed to confer with the Com- mittee of Gommerce and Navigation, that immediate action might be obtained. What will be done re- mains to be seen. The Committee on Public Health, to whom the fol- lowing resolution was referred:— Resolved, That the Committee on Public Health be and hereby dirécted to investigate the ofiice of the Heal of the port of New York relative to his said committee shall have power to meet places and to compel the attendance of witnesses, and to employ a stenographer and messenger during the {ime that they may be engaged in the performance of said investl- gation, Respectfally i ‘That pursuant to said resolution they proceeded to the clty of New York on the 6th inst., entering at once on the duties Heel sae upon them by sald reso- lution. Dr.John Swinburne, the Health Officer of the port of New York, was notified to appear before them og respond to any question relating to the subject of his public duties as well as matters relating to quarantine generally. Dr. Swinburne promptly responded to the notice, expressing an entire willing- hess that his oficial acts should be subject to the fullest Colored Schools. ‘The number of colored schools in Washington is forty-eight and in Georgetown elwht, with a totai of 8,137 pupils, There are fourteen night schools, wiih 500 scholars. The Trade and Commerce of Alaska. A Washington despatch to the Erening Telegram says that the Director of the Bureau of Statistics has just received the first statistical returns from the United States customs district of Sitka, in the Territory of Alaska.
