In the Georgia Legislature yesterday the Com- mittees on the Eligibility of Members made their re- ports. In the Senate noone was found ineligible, and General Meade and the Provisional Governor were informed of the fact. In the House two mem- bers were reported ineligible, but the subject of their ejectinent is yet under discusston. Inthe South Carolina House of Representatives the seats of se | democrats are contested and the incumbents will probably be ousted. A serious riot occurred in Millican, Texas, on the 15th inst. aod continued the next day, It is said to have be eastoned by the disappearance of a negro member of the Loyal League, who was sup- posed to have been hung by white men, but who has since put ina live appearance.

W. F. Thomas, gives some valuable in- formation on an important subject. It is believed that there are twenty thousand tenement houses in which contain, on an average, four families ry, with five persona to each family, each Person having about fifteen square feet of ground area and four hundred and eighty cubic feet of air— one thousand cubic feet of air being absolutely neces- Sary for the health of each individual. , A woman named Mary Woolley was found dead in her house, a shanty, in Fifty-sixth street, near Seventh avenue, yesterday morning. She is sup- posed to have been murdered, as cries were heard proceeding from her room the night before and a family which had been living on her bounty have disappeared. The strike of the Philadelphia gas men still con- tinues and the city is in darkness, The newspaper offices generally use candies, and only a few theatres are open. The steamer Providence on her last trip from this city to Bristol was beeched in order to repair a leak in asupply pipe. She was backed off after the leak was repaired and reached Bristol at eight o'clock yesterday morning. The Missouri Republican State Convention have nominated Congressman McClurg for Governor. At a meeting of the master masons a list of un- finished buiidings in this city which are to remain at @ standstill until the journeymen come to terms was read.

Two policemen appeared and the rufians fed. In the United States Commissioner's Court yesterday the charges of the whiskey ring conspirators against Collector Bailey was dismissed. The only witness testifying being committed for trialon a charge of perjury, Commissioner Osborn, on the close of the examination announced the decision of the Court— that Mr. Bailey is honorably discharged. In the Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, the case of Musgrave against the Chicago and Rock Isiand Ratiroad Company, in which a million and a balf of dollars is involved, came up on the application of Fisk & Hatch for permission to pay over the sum borrowed from the company, and to receive the securities deposited by them on the advance of the amount referred to. The application is opposed by the plaintif.

In this speech Mr. Pendleton elaborated his well known views on the financial situation. His position may be given in a few words, how- ever, extracted from the body of his argument. “*T am,” said the distinguished orator, ‘‘hos- tile tono class or interest in this country. I simply desire to be just—just to the bond- holder, just to the people. I would live up with scrupulous fidelity to the terms of our contracts. I would pay the interest of the five- twenties in gold, because the government promised to do so; I would pay principal and interest of the ten-forties in gold, because the government has promised to do so; I would pay the principal of the five-twenties in legal tender notes, because the bondholders agreed to receive them in payment; and as I would not repudiate an honest bargain to make money for the people, so I would not repudiate an honest bargain to make money for the public creditors.” Again :—‘‘ These bonds operate as & mortgage upon the property and labor of the country. There are two thousand millions ofthem. Pay off these two thousand millions, and will not the legal tenders be first in the proportion more valuable?” ‘‘Since the debt was contracted in legal tenders, since it may be lawfully and honestly paid in legal tenders, Iam in favor of continuing it until we can secure the people, who have already suffered all the evils, whatever good may be expected from the system.” These are the views of Mr. Pendleton, and they are the democratic platform on the bond question. Whether they are or are not the republican platform we cannot positively under- take to say. Itis an open question with the republicans, subject to the drift of the popular tide. The Hon. Ben Butler says that according to “‘the letter and the spirit of the contract” and the Chicago platform the five-twenties are redeemable in legal tenders. The Hon. Thad Stevens says that these bondholders have no right to expect gold when greenbacks are the article, according to the letter and spirit of the law; and Stevens ought to know. A majority of the republicans in the House of Representa- tives, we have no doubt, are with Stevens and Butler ; for a majority of them voted with the democrats in favor of the late resolution in- structing the Committee of Ways and Means to report a bill for the taxation of the bonds to the figure of ten per cent. The great body of the people out West of both parties are with Pendleton, Stevens and Butler, and it is pro- bable that a larger proportion of the people of the East than our political philosophers can imagine are of the sane way of thinking. Congress, meantime, (both parties in both houses) has become so thoroughly and inex- plicably mixed up on the money question, in all its divisions—bonds, taxes, banks, funding bills, tariffs and what not—that we can expect nothing materially changing the present state - of things, at least till the next session. Besides being completely muddled onall these financial problems the members of the two houses are anxious to bring this session to a close and go home to look after their own interests with their constituents, On returning home they will find the current of public opinion running in a ceriain direction. Each member who is a candidate for re-election and every new candi- date for the next Congress will be apt to shape his course as far as possible to the prevailing views of his people. In this view we may reasonably expect that Butler, Stevens and Pendleton on money matters, will be sup- ported by an overwhelming majority in the next House of Representatives, the bulk of which is to be elected in the coming October and November. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, of the great Northern States, lead off in their Con- gressional elections in October, and the re- sults, we dare say, will go very far to show that s predominant idea, East and West, among the people is that every legal expedient calculated to reduce and extinguish this gene- ral burden of the national debt and its heavy taxations must be adopted—that the people will not have this thing continued indefinitely, but will demand such measures of legislation as will afford a fair prospect that the present generation will live to be relieved of all these heavy taxes and official spoliations and corrup- tions resulting from the national debt. The payment of the interest until the time for the payment of the principal of these different sorts of bonds is fully due will not answer. The people want the principal itself ex- tinguished as fast as the means and legal ad- vantages possessed by the government will permit ; and upon this important question we expect, we say, in the coming October Congres- sional elections, an overwhelming popular vin- dication of the general opinions of Stevens, Pendleton and Butler on the bonds and their redemption, Posinox or tae Fonpine Btr1.—The House committee having in hand the Senate Funding bill proposes some sweeping amendments, some of which make the bill better, some worse. Those that make the bill better are of such a nature that they will pro- bably upset the nice little jobs that this measure was to legalize in the interest of the Treasury ring. Therefore the bill will no longer suit the original purpose, and we hear that the Senate will not pass it and that the whole subject will go over. It is to be hoped this is true. The* present Congress cannot settle the finances, and will only make them the excuse and cover for ewindles; so that if the House committee has killed this bill it has blundered into a good act. We must wait to see, however, whether the committee will not amend ite amendments, if the originators of the bill show ‘proper reasons,” and whether these destructive changes are not put forth to call the ssid originators up to the captain's * office, t France and the Peace of Europe. The Marquis de Moustier and the Moniteur | are again busy assuring the French people and the nations of Europe generally that the policy of the Emperor's government is a policy of peace.

But now it is another story. Now Turkey. It is something to know that France does not meditate war just at present. There are no doubt those who will be grateful for the news, although it is doubtful how far opinion will be affected by the announcement. It is not always safe literally to interpret the language of cabinet ministers, especially French cabinet ministers; nor would it be safe to say that the Paris Monitewr is the most truthful of journals. We believe the peace of Europe will not be disturbed at present by a conflict between France and any of the great Powers; not because a French minister and a French journal say so, but because there is positively no reason for such conflict. It is very like France to promise her encourage- ment to reforming Austria and Turkey. She must be patronizing her neighbors. Some Frenchmen are, we doubt not, of opinion that the government of the Emperor would be better employed carrying out reform at home than promising encouragement to Austria and Tur- key, both of which nations are showing that they are perfectly competent to take care of themselves. Ifthe French press were only a little more free than it is the Emperor would become familiar with some such language. But the French press is not free, and the Em- peror has not the opportunity of hearing or reading all that Frenchmen think ofhim. It is, perhaps, some consolation to Frenchmen to know that the Emperor's government is bur- dened with the cares of all Europe. Taxing Officeholders. One of the Seymour organs makes a great outery against a circular alleged to have been sent by the Union Republican Congressional Committee to the postmasters throughout the country, levying on them for contributions to the amount of five per cent of their official compensation. Such an outery from either the Tammany ring or the Mozart ring in this city, or from any other democratic ring what- ever, is utterly absurd and ridiculous. The practice of thus levying contributions for parti- san purposes, corrupt and unjust as it is, and particularly burdensome to men of limited salaries, confiscating as it does a portion of their scanty means tor the sake of bolstering up ‘“‘the cause,” is the old rule with the democratic party. The contributions are voluntary, ‘‘so called,” but are really as much “forced contributions” as the sums exacted by an invading army from the inhabitants of a conquered country. For democrats to de- nounce the practice, if it is adopted by the republicans, is but a fresh illustration of the old story of pot calling the kettle black. We must remind the postmasters now in office that they chance to occupy at the present juncture of circumstances a peculiar position. If they refuse to contribute to the democratic cause they must, nevertheless, according to the Civil Tenure bill, be retained in office unless the reasons for their removal be fully and satisfactorily set forth; and even if they happen to be removed they will doubtless be restored by the action of the Senate, Our advice, therefore, to the postmasters is to hold tight their purse strings and let both democrats and republicans fight it out by themselves. Comparatively few, except those connected with the whiskey ring, the gold ring, the Indian contractors’ ring, the lobby ring or some other ring, can afford to be bled at the usual rates of partisan committees. The whiskey ring and the gold ring can stand a good deal of bleeding; they have plenty of money, and they ought to be bled. But the majority of officeholders can ill afford to be victimized in this way. They should be ex- empted from the tyrannous taxation of ‘ volun- tary contributions” to any party. Admiral Farragut in England. In England, as in every other country which Admiral Farragut has recently visited, he has been made the recipient of the highest honors. On Tuesday last his flagship was visited by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, accom- panied by his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburg. On Thursday Admiral Farragut made a return visit to Prince Alfred on board of the frigate Galatea, and afterwards went, by request, to Osborne House and paid a visit to her Majesty Queen Victoria. It is announced that at an early day the Admiral will take the United States vessels now in the Solent to the East. The Eastern princes and potentates will doubtless vie with their royal European cousins in showering honors upon the American admiral. If Admiral Farragut were not the solid, sensible old salt that he is his head might be as much turned by these flattering attentions as the head of Lamartine was when he travelled en prince in the East several years ago. Lamartine’s visit is well remembered by many Orientals, They paid homage to him under the same impression as that of the sheik who mystified Mme. Olympe Andouard in the valley of Assy by telling her, “I became well acquainted with one of your emperors, who has travelled here,” and in- formed her that the name of this emperor, ‘‘st noble et si bon,” was Lamartine. Admiral Farragut is honored in the Old World as one of the ‘‘sovereigns” of the great republic of the New World. He is everywhere received as @ worthy representative of a national power which our late civil war first fully developed and made patent to all the nations of the earth. Tae News From Haytt.—As will be seen by a apecial Cuba cable despatch published in this morning’s Herat, the revolution in Hayti has assumed an imperial turn. President Sal- nave has proclaimed himself Emperor and or- dered all the disaffected who have taken refuge from his wrath in the foreign consulates to quit the country unless they choose to be treated as bandits. This edict, as well as the actual treatment of the foreign population by the rag- amuffins of Port au Prince, had drawn forth o protest from the American Minister. The bal- ance of the news is confined to meagre an- Aouncements of warlike operations. the House, only following out the theory of its members that Congress is the government and the House of Representatives is Congress, trenches on the prerogative of the Senate. Now the House claims that it is part of the treaty- making power, and the Senate takes the alarm. Even the radicals in that body can now see that ‘the majority” may claim too much and that there ought to be some other rule of ac- tion besides the will of the greatest number. It seems quite probable that the Senate will carry this lately-found conviction to the extent of defeating the Appropriation bill in which the claim is made. The House will only make the appropriation in a bill fixing ils right to partici- pate in treaties, and the Senate will not accept the money on these terms. We are glad to see this collision, whatever becomes of the bill; for in this disagreement of the two houses the people will see the exact character of the claims made by the House in all important re- cent legislation. It is the collision of two op- pressors, and whichever wins there will be some natural justice done. Subsidy Jobbers and Land Grabbers. The number of swindles practised on the gov- ernment by private parties upon the pretence of furthering some great public enterprise is almost incredible. They are seen in the shape of subsidies to apocryphal lines of ocean steam- ships, in enormous land grants in aid of pri- vate railroad enterprises, in donations in money, lands and scrip for almost every con- ceivable humbug calculated to blind the eyes or fill the pockets of our national legislators. For instance, one man has the modesty to ask for a gubsidy of half a million to enable him to open a coal mine, upon the plea of developing the resources of a State abundantly able to de- velop its own resources. Another modest individual puts ina demand for another half million to aid some mining operations in the Rocky Mountains. The biggest frauds, how- ever, are the land grabbers. They grab at a domain covering an area as large as an ordi- nary State, and what they cannot chea® the Indians out of they propose to rob from Uncle Sam outright. No treasury in the world can long stand the ceaseless draugitts of these swarms of jobbing leeches, and the credit of the nation will soon be imperilled unless some steps be quickly adopted to check their nefari- ous operations, or, as St. Patrick did the snakes and toads in Ireland, give their necks a twist or ‘*banish them forever.” Lorp STANLEY ON THE NATURALIZATION QuBs- Tion.—On Thursday, in the British House of Commons, Lord Stanley, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, stated that in reply to a com- munication received from Mr. Seward on the question of the rights of naturalized citizens he had written to the effect that the British Minis- try were prepared to accept the American view of the subject. He had declined making a treaty for the present because the royal com- mission had not concluded their investigation, and for the additional reason that there was not time during the present Parliament to do the subject justice. Such being the state of the case, his lordship had no hesitation in say- ing that a misunderstanding between the two countries was impossible. This is as it ought to be. Naturalized citizens of the United States have now virtually secured the recogni- tion of their rights all over Germany; and the attitude now taken by Great Britain is per- fectly satisfactory. A Nearo Riot in Texas.—The account of the deplorable negro riot at Millican, Texas, which we publish elsewhere, indicates that atrocities in that State are not committed by re- bels alone. It was believed that a negro member of the Loyal League had been foully dealt with, and for the purpose of revenge a mob of half barbdrous negroes, headed by a white man and a black preacher, forthwith attempted to hang a man—white, we presume. The sheriff and others prevented the execution of this de- sign, and the result was a bloody riot, con- tinuing for several days. The negroes, who had entrenched themselves some distance from the village, had to be dispersed by the mili- tary, and we are informed that the casualties were between fifty and sixty killed and wounded, After all the trouble was ended the Loyal Leaguer, who was supposed to have been killed, turned up alive.

The minutes of the previous | meeting having been read and approved, the pre- | sident, Mr. CONOVER, opened the proceedings by | calling upon the several committees to report. Mr. A. W. Ross, on behalf of the committee of which he is chairman, reported that everything was looking well; that the owners still encouraged them to hold out; that some few bosses had recommenced work, but in no case with more than four men; that after all there were a less number of men at work yes- terday than a week ago; that within ten days all the large jobs will have “worked out,” and then all the brickwork will stand still and will remain so to the end, Mr. Erpuitz then read a long string of reports from several morning papers, all of which were re- ceived with ridicule except the one from the HERALD, which was declared to be the only true and | !: impartial record of their proceedings. Mr. E. said that some of the newspapers pretend to be the | friends of the workingman, but that they are his enemies, proving themselves such by exaggeratin; and Teading the men into folly, But, said Mr, Eid- litz, let the men understand that we are willing to lose one-half of our fortune, each of us, rather than submit (and this declaration was greeted with imiuense applause), and that we will rather pay $10 per day to non-society men and make a breach into the Unions. (This was in received with cheers.), In the course of his remarks Mr. Eidlitz read the fol- lowing list as the number of the most principal buildings now at a standstill, and which will remain so unless the journeymen will change their course:— Harlem Gaslight Co., one house on Fighty-eighth street and Third avenue; nine houses on Eighty eighth street, Ninety-third street and Third avenue; No. 77 Beekman street, one store, 25x100; New York Life Insurance Company, Broadway and Leonard street, 660X200; No. 55 Leonard street, one store, 25x100; No. 114 Franklin street, one store, 26x100; No. 119 Frank- lin street, one store, 20x60; Canal and Mulberry streets, one building, 100x100; No. 180 Thompson street, one building, 25x100; No. 48 East Fourteenth street, one store, 25x200; Broadway, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, 200x200; dwelling, Madison avenue and Thirty-ninth street; five dweil- ings, Madison avenue and Forty-fourth street; five dwellings, Flity-fifth street, between Third and Lexington avenues; house, Third avenue and Thirteenth street, 100x300; _ buildi tor coal yard, 650x250 feet and 30 feet high on Forty-second street, near North river; two dwellings on Forty-ninth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues; store on corner of West Broadway and Franklin street; store No, 187 Broadway; house on Forty-eighth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues; two houses on Fifty-sixth street, between same avenues; stores 180 Chambers street, 536 Broad- way and Fifth avenue and ‘Twenty-seventh street; stores from 176 to 182 Duane strect, dwellings from 8 to 12 West Forty-fifth street, store corner of Crosby and Howard streets; two houses on Fifth avenue, corner of Fifty-seventh street, and two houses on Madison avenue, corner of Thirty-fourth street; four stores, from 77 to 86 Walker street; four houses on ‘hirty-fourth street and Sixth avenue; Equitabie Life Insurance Company building on Broadway, 90x146; one dwelling on Foriteth street, between Madison and.

These were called “white lies” and the word “‘lie,”” Mr. Tostevin said, ‘men who nave all their lives been accustomed to speak the truth cannot bear.” He then passed over to the fact that the question of time or pay for @ day was no question at all between the journeymen and the master masons, 1t was, in fact, but a small matter. The controversy was one of principle—when the Pps Gi should have the right to control the business of their employers. He spoke at length of the hardsh:ps imposed on the boss by the arbitrary rules and vor oenre exactions of the journeymen and concluded with giving several instances within his own knowledge where their rules operated to dwarf the ambition of poate beginners at the trade, Mr. VoLK then mentioned a repori that the brick- layers had exhausted their funds and said that while he rejoiced in the fact that the men find they havea harder enemy to fight than they expected, still he was sorry that they should lose, not only money out of their pockets, but also what they might have earned during the continuance of the strike. In the course of the speaking, which was more emphatic and determined than on any previous occasion, Mr. ALEXANDER W. Ross said that he had a conversa- tion with emer tan of the country that very morning and after telling him the nature of the con- troversy between the master masons and bricklay- ers and that it was not the fo hour rule, but the claim of the journeymen to limit the ndmber of ap- prentices and forbid the bosses from working, this gece man said, so Mr, Ross assured the meet- ing, that if the bosses succeed now they will have accomplished more for the country than avy Ameri- can statesman ever did. Mr. Conover, the President, ridiculed the idea that he shouid be reported as commencing with eight hour men next Monday, or next Monday week, or a year hence. The strike, he said, assumes larger pro- rtions every day. It is not the three thousand ricklayers of the city who are idle, but thirty thou- sand men in all kindred branches are idle also. ‘This ought to influence the bosses to stand firm, for then they wiil certainly win.

On being told, however, by Mr. Conover, that such an arrangement had already been made, Mr. Volk was satisfied and the meeting adjourned.
