A question was raised as to whether the House had the right to suppress any of it proceedings, and after some conversation on this subject tue Speaker ruled that the House may jadge what are and what are not proceedings. Mr. Dawes said it was due to the House, and he would ask the gentleman from Minnesota to have expunged from the Congressional Globe that part of the speech which reads as follows:. hat if God, in a moment of enthusiasm at one of the gentleman's speeches, were to pluck hun to his bosom and leave this wretched nation staggering on in darkness and to ruin.” do not understand that the gentleman’s family manifest: such an intense desire to get into Congress. far the havanguing the assembled hi of [acy eaven, the Cherubim and the Seraphim, the angels and the archangels; how he would sail into them; how he would rout them, horse, foot and dragoons; how he would attack their motives and fing insinu- ations at their honesty; and how he would declare for economy, and urge that the wheels of the universe must be stopped because they consumed too much grease. [Laughter.] Mr. SPALDING asked whether it would be necessary for him to offer another resolution so as to omit that from the report of the gentieman’s (Mr. Dawes’( speech? [Laughter.] Mr. DONNELLY said that there is in the extract no charge of crime, nothing affecting the personal char- acter of the gentleman from Illinois. In the flight of my amagination I transported the gentleman to that realm to which we all Rope to go. (Langhter). But not only that; I gave him a prominent and con- spicuous place in that abode, (Laughter). 1 cannot see what there is in that para- graph to offend the taste of the gentle- man from Massachusetts. J can search pages of ora- tory and find abundant instances of the same kind. Idid the gentleman infinite honor in transporuug him to Heaven. (Laughter.) Mr. Dawes called the attention of Mr. Donnelly to what he sald, “If he (Mr. Washburne) lay dead to- morrow in this chamber what heart in this body would experience one sincere pang of sorrow?” A point of order was in order as to the power to strike out any portion of a speech; when the Speaker said the pending resolution did not propose to strike out anything, but that what was said on Saturday should not be incorporated in the Congresstonal Globe—that portion of his speech which read as follows:—“And if there be ia our midst one low, sordid, vulgar Saul or Barron mediocre intelligence, one heart callous to every kinaly sentiment and every generous impulse, one tongue leprous with slander, one mouth which is like unto. a den of foul beast giving forth deadly odors, ff there be here one character which, while blotched and spotted all over, yet raves and rants and blackguards like a prostitute, it is the gentleman from Illinois.” Mr. DONNELLY said that was the concluding para- graph of his remarks, For this he was catied to order by the Speaker, and he thought properly. He immediately at that time apologized to the House for it and he would, at the request of the gentleman from Massachusetts, bg god that paragraph from the Congressional Globe. He was never aware that in that paragraph he had transcended the limits of par- liamentary decorum; and he would further say that if he should publish that speech in pamphiet form he would therein also suppress that paragraph. This he was willing to do in obedience to the offended good taste of the House, Mr. ELDRIDGE asked whether this was noton ail fours with the eleventh article of iopeachment. (Laughter.) Mr. Dawes said the gentleman from Minnesota had done what he thonght he ought to have done, and he thanked him. He would ask the gentieman to go a little further, and would call his attention to another paragraph, Mr. WINDOM inqnired if Mr. Donnelly should strike those phs out of his speech whether Ma. Dawes would kee them in his remarks? Mr. Dawes replied “No.” Mr. PIKE, (rep.) of Me., then proposed that Messrs, Donnelly and Dawes have a private talk Over modi- fying the speech. (Laughter.) Here soveral points of order were raised amid confusion, ® ‘ .. Mr, Dawes sald he did not desire to read any moré, He asked the House to strike out from is remarks the extracts he had made, Mr. ELDRipGR objected. Mr. SCHENCK, (rep.) of Ohio, wished to call the at- teution of the House to the state of the case for fear members would involve themselves in some great absurdity. Sometimes it was better to have the oMictal record of what they do preserved, than leave to history misrepresented accounts which were sure to go abroad. But there was some- thing more in this case. They had just passed @ resolution, in which they cited from the debate, as the ground on which the resolution was based, re- inarks made by the gentleman from Ulinois, and it ‘was now proposed to suppress the records and take away th evidence” on which — the reso- Jution was based. He would not be dis. respectful, the House was but would od that ing itself in a position to that it was acting absurd! iP its trac! As thesé things would be said, and they are, it was better for the country that the records of proceedings either for instruction or warning, for praise or reproof, shonkt be preserved, rather than keep out of the history of the country and allow that they should be engaged in the idle attempt to gargied accounts to take the place.

Little has transpired of the result thus far be- yond the fact that Senator Tweed, who in all his movements is guided by the advice of his bosom friends, Peter B. Sweeny and Comptroller Connolly, has decided not to unite in the move- ment for confirmation of the Governor's nominees. He deems this to be the best policy for his party, and it is on purely party grounds that he persists ina refusal. The offices which are to be filled will be vacant next year, when he, or whoso- ever may then be Governor of the State, can enjoy the privilege of appointing all democrats to occupy them. Such isthe position of atfairs between the chiefs on both sides, but it is now reported that treachery has been at work in the democratic camp, and that enough of the rank and file have been secured to unite with the Fentonites in making the majority of votes requisite to confirmation. The re- ward for their treachery will be one-third of the appointments and the passage of the tax levies, big jobs, donations and all. THE BROADWAY SURFACE RAILROAD, The Broadway Surface Railroad bill was brought up inthe Senate this morning. It is not so desig- nated, of course, in the titles, which merely author- izes “transportation underground in the city of New York,” and the organization of a company for that parpoee. It is more familiarly known as the Van- denburg lan for a tunnel under Broadway, although its real object all along was a surface railroad, The disguise was never thrown off so completely as to- day, When the Clerk had read the bill through the first section was amended by the addition of the cor- porators of the original Broadway railroad—the men ‘who have been here for years trying to get their scheme through the Legislature. The route was was then changed so as to pretend to run the road under Church street Ge extension thereof bemg completed) from the Battery to Canal street, thence under Mercer street to Washington square, and un- der Fifth avenue to Broadway at Madison square, making a counterpart to and rivalof the East Side or Central Underground Raliroad which has just been authorized. It was amusing to observe the innocence of the original projector of the road as he sat by and watched the progress of the bill. He has a —*. if the feeling may be so -ex- pressed, for the construction of an underground raliroad along the line of Broadway, and has haunted the Legislature for years in pursuit of his object. He became quite joyous over the work of to- day, unconscious of the band of surface men who were incorporated in mass with his own friends and who show their purposes should the bill become a law. And here comes a question. The bill was pushed with so much celerity to-day, after its long inactivity, as to suggest the inquiry, have the Gov- ernor’s agents also agreed that he shall sign this bill if the nominations are. confirmed? THE WIDENING OF WEST STREET. The Governor to-day vetoed the bill for the widen- ing of West street by extending the bulkheads fur- ther out into the river. It is thought it will be passed over the veto. THE ELEVATED RAILROAD. The friends of this ineasure were somewhat aston- ished to find this afternoon that it had been killed, although passed by both houses, The paradox is explained in this way:—The Senate having passed upon it, it was transmitted to the Assembly, where some amendment was made and it was also passed. Hence the statement that it had passed both houses. It had to go hack to the Senate, however, for concur- rence in the amendments, and there its enemics took advantage of the chance to send it to the Com- mittee on Municipal Affairs, where it will “sleep.” Assemblyman M. C. Murphy ts charged with the murder of this little innocent, which, curiously enough, lived as long as it did under the title of an act “to provide for the collection and application of revenues in the county of New York i certain cases.” THE COLE TRIAI. Mr. Brady cdmmenced his argument to the jury at ten o'clock this poouiig fe. closed at hali-past two. Mr. Tremain followed this afternoon for the people, speaking three hours to the adjournment of the court. He will rest the case to-morrow morning, when Judge Ingraham will charge the jury. Passage of the Broadway Tunnel in the Senate—The Tax Levies=The Governor's Veto of the Sherif Fees BI Sustained. ALBANY, May 4, 1868, ‘The Broadway Tunnel bill, whose route was changed to-day so as ostensibly to constitute a road up Church street, Mercer street, Fifth avenue and Broadway, was passed by the Senate this evening. ‘This change is said to be intended fora grand strike on the merchants below Washington square and upon the private residents along Fifth avenue. The real object of the bill is a Broadway surface railroad. The lower house is very indignant over the passage by the Senate of the two tax levies, with so many of the donations stricken out. The democratic house ‘will sit a month rather than yield these donations. The vote by which the vernor’s veto of the Sheriff bill was sustained was reconsidered. During the vote a messenger who was sent in search of a Senator who was expected to vote in the negative was waylaid outside the Capito! and compelled to abandon his search. After some fMibustering the veto was sustained—yeas 20, nays 11—not two-thirds yoting to pass the bi NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. SENATE. ALBANY, May 4, 1868. RILLS PASSED.

Mr. Morris moved that ihe messenger be brought before the bar of the Senate to state the facts. This was ordered and the messenger stated that while proceeding to the lodgings of Senator Huraphrey he was stopped in the hali of the Capitol by a man whom he did not know, who told him he must not go any further in that direction, and walked him around Whe Park. Several Senators denounced the outrage, and dur- Ing the debate Mr. Humphrey appeared in his seat.

Prised at the unexampled furor which Ristori’s “Sor Teresa” created in Havana among people who thoroughly understood life in the convent and who bowed to the genius Which gave the mother superioress attentive to the call of duty, ‘would not only be a failure but a reproach, Around her are grouped a number of uninteresting charac- ters, if we except that of Guillermina (Luigia Glech), and throughout the play there is an absence of effect like that which gives point to some of her other well known characteristics, It 1s, then, the highest triumph of dramatic art to be able to Concentrate within herself the entire interest of the tedious play and to enchain the attention of her hearers as much asin the Court of Elizabeth, Mary Stuart's prison at Fotheringay, or amid the wild tumult of the French Revolution. Whatever may be her conception of a character, Ristori gives a start- lingly vivid and life like realization of it on the stage. As Isabel Suarez the mother’s love and the wife's withering denunciation of her recreant husband were photographs of the heart. In the scene in which her daughter is compelled to submit to the ceremony of taking the veil the innermost depths of the mother’s heart are exposed. As the circle of nuns surround “the kneeling girl the terrible nature of the sacrifice weighs down the mother’s heart, and if ever agony has been depicted on the human countenance, the face of Ristori was convulsed with it last night during the scene. There was something grand and sublirae in her rebuke of the daring intruder whom love for the unwilling novice drew within the hal- lowed precincts of the cloister. The character of the nun loses none of its sanctity when interpreted by Ristori, but even her earthly love is made subservient to it, The death scene was fearfully real in its con- centrated agony and sudden relaxation of all the nerves, a8 if the heart'strings had anepped asunder. The character of Guillermina, as interpreted by Luigla Glech, was a fitting companion picture to the titie réle, ere Was not, as we have said, much op- portunity given to the other characters to earn com- mendation. Madame Ristori will play again to- night, at a matin¢e to-morrow, and on Thursday and Friday. . BARNEY WILLIAMS’ BroaDWAY THEATRE.—This house was crowded last night with an immense audience such as Barney Williams and his accom- plished wife always draw in this city, and, in fact, for that matter all over the country. For the . first time in four years the popular Irish drama of “‘Con- nie Soogah” was produced, in which Mr. Williams, as Corney McGrath, and Mrs. Willlams, as Nellie Nolan, assumed the leading paris. The scenery, which embraces some of the best kirown points in Irish landscape, was ray got up for the occasion, and it is admirable. ‘ithout being sensa- tional—for there is a good historical story in the plece—the play affords opportunities for attractive scenic effects and tableaux which are not lost in the excelfent manner in which wie play is 7 upon the stage. The inimitable fun of nd Mrs, Williams kept the house not only in good humor, but in ecsta- cies of delight during the evening. The audience seemed to feel, and with justice, that there is no en- inment where one expects to find genume humor so well illustrated as where Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams are the leading spirits. TuR PET PHILO-DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION.—An in- teresting dramatic entertainment in aid of the Samaritan’s Home for Aged Men, 267 West Thirty- fourth street, will be given at the French theatre on Wednesday evening by the Pet Philo-Dramatic Asso- ciation. Mr. Robertson’s successful comedy “Caste” will be given on the occasion with a well selected cast. Miss Ettie Robinson will take the part of Esther Eccles, while Mr. Phillips will personate San and the rest of the characters are evenly distribute For the sake of the charity as well as the “Philos” it is hoped that the French theatre will have as large an andience on the occasion as graced the last perfor- mance of “La Belle Héiéne.”? ESCAPR AND RECAPTURE OF A CASTLE PINCKNEY PRISONER.—Information was received at headquar- ters on the 29th that a colored prisoner contined in Castle Pinckney, for the murder of Mr. B. F. Brad- ford, of Walterboro, had made his escape. An escape from the seagirt fortress seemed almost impossible, and speculation was rife as to the whereabouts of the convict. Swimming to either the city or the island seemed an impossibility, and it was supposed that he had been taken in by a shark while making tie attempt, Yesterday, however, the mystery was solved, and the prison was arrested, a voluntary inmate of Fort Mou trie. How he escaped, and why he chose Fort Moul- trie as his ark of refuge, is asx yet unkuowa, but as there are colored troops ut both places, the inference is clear that it must have been with some connivance on thetr part. When fr t noticed he was walking unconcernedly about the fort, and said that he had come there to visit a friend, He was afterwards seen by an officer in one of the beds, but on attempt- ing to arrest him he offered a strenuous resistance. He was aay overpowered and given to the guard, but succeeded in eluding them, and would have es- caped but for a timely pistol shot, which brought: him to the ground.—Charileston News, May 2.
