Tt cannot be denied that the proverbial charge of ingratitude on the part of republics has been shamefully verified in the very shabby treatment by the radicals in Congress of the widow of the lamented martyr Lincoln, Her ‘appeal for a meagre pittance of five thousand dollars has been virtually rejected by its refer- ence to committee which has no authdrity to act upon it. This is one of the meanest things of which even these radicals have been guilty. Mrs, Lincoln did special honor to the White House by being, without exception, the best dressed woman who ever presided at the Presidential table. She sacrificed her own modest preferences for what Horace describes ‘as the path of an unnoticed life, and spared no trouble or expense to “represent” in a becoming manner the exalted station to which, with her husband, she had been raised by the national will, Surely this was one of the high qualifications required by her position. The distinction won by the Empress Eugénie as the most elegantly dressed woman in Europe has been of no slight force in sustain- ing the Napoleonic dynasty, and the author of “Sartor Resartas” would not contradict the assertion that dress has its influence in a NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. HY ts onal AEL FARTS OF THE WORLD. FRESH TROUBLES IN SPAIN. Carlist Bands Attempt a Rising in Catalonia. The Reported Surrender of the Cuban Leaders Untrue, Minister Rosecrans Denounced in Mexico as Favoring Annexation. The Brazilians Preparing to Establish a Pro- visional Government in Paraguay. SPAIN. Disturbed Condition of the Country-Appear- ance of Bands of Carlists in Catalonia~A Civil War Dreaded. Maprip, Feb. 4, 1869. Bands of Carlists have made their appearance in Catalonia. They came from} the valley of Andorra and seek to produce a rising against the provisional government. Troops have been sent out to dis- perse them. The press, fearing a civil war, urge the govern- Ment to take active measures and the people to unite against the reactionary party. THE EASTERN QUESTION. Probable Compliance of Greece with the Terms of the Paris Conference. Lonpon, Feb. 4, 1869. Still later despatches from Athens announce the republican no less than in an imperial court. After all, what is the pitiful sum of five thou- sand dollars as a yearly pension to the widow of @ President of Unitea States, whose life was ‘ation in his country’s service,” in comparison with the millions of dollars annually wasted by Congress upon railway and mail contractors and other agents of innumerable infamous “jobs?” Why should three judges and arbi- trators in slaver.cases which never came up for adjudication be lavishly provided with means for speculating in Wall street, while the widow of the late President Lincoln is deprived of even the balance of the salary her husband would have received for the four years term to which he was elected had he not perished at the hands of an assassin? An appropriation of a round sum of one hundred thousand dol- lars to the widow of the late President would have been but a graceful recognition of the claims of Abraham Lincoln upon the gratitude of the nation. Congressmen ought to be ashamed of themselves for the niggardly self- ishness with which they have delayed a re- ‘sponse to the very moderate petition addressed tothem by Mrs. Lincoln. Lypia THompson.—This pretty young actress has transferred her scene of operations to Niblo’s theatre and opened there after a manner which savors much of the old “Black Crook.” When she was giving ‘‘Ixion” at the scene of her former operations the pretty pedimentals of Venus and Mercury, with drapery ‘‘halt concealing, half revealing,” were considered one of the incidental attractions; but at Niblo’s Venus comes upon the stage with the full flowering of forty pairs of legs, after the regular ‘‘Black Crook” model, for which assault upon the realm of modesty the careful hiding of the legs of Mercury in a red petticoat and star- Jaid gauze continuations makes very poor amend. We suspect that Miss Lydia, in adopting this sensuous style of entertainment, has been led astray by those old sinners, Jarrett and Palmer, and laid herself open to the animadversions of the Rev. Mr. Smyth. Her troupe have attractions enough in their pleasing melodies, excellent dancing and broad fun not to resort to a show of legs, which, however pretty, can only be attractive to the wicked public, and the Venus at Niblo’s will do well to be a little less like a sea Cybele in her costume. Tur New York Tonner Company.—A bill has been introduced in the State Senate changing the name of the New York and Brooklyn Iron Tubular Tunnel Company to the New York Tunnel Company, with power to construct a tunnel or two of iron or masonry across the beds of the North and East rivers at such points as may be determined upon. Are we, then, going to have some tunnels across the North and East rivers? We cannot tell, but we guess that the idea of this com- pany is to hold on until they can make a good speculation in the transfer of their privileges to some new company, who, in turn, will hold on for the chances of another profitable trans- fer. Money may be made more easily in this way than by building tunnels. Tary Arg At It Again—The Albany lobby jobbers, with their street railroad schemes for _ the benefit of this city. To make it easier for them Mr. Bergen, of the Assembly, has intro- duced a bill providing that ‘‘it shall be lawful for any corporations operating street railroads to enter any street without the consent of the owners of one-half the property along the line.” We suspect that all the gangs of the lobby will finally settle down upon the grand scheme of a Broadway and Fifth avenue double track horse railroad. They are begin- ning to move and they will bear watching.

Montreal, Canada, Feb. 4, 1869, While the concert and ball at St. Patrick’s Hall were in progress last night, 2,000 persons being present, a cry was raised shortly before midnight that the roof was giving way, causing intense ex- citement. All immediately rushed to the street; but while the last were getting out the roof fell with a tremendous crash. Several persons were injured, bat it is hoped none are Killed. If the accident had occurred a few moments sooner @ terrible loss of life must have occurred. ‘The snow storm continues with great fury. Travel Will be stopped. MISSOURI. Woman Suffrage in Missouri—Rights of For- eign Joint Stock Companies. Sr. Louis, Feb, 4, 1869. A delegation of prominent ladies of St. Louis ar- rived at Jefferson City yesterday, with a petition from the Women’s Saffrage Association of Missouri, asking the Legislature to provide for the amendment of the constitution of the State so as to strike the word “male” from that instrument. The petition will be presented this afternoon, at which time ad- dresses will be made by some of the ladies on the subject of female suffrage.

For several days a rumor has been current that the revolutionary Generals Cespedes and Aguilera have surrendered to the Count Valmaseda but the report proves untrue, as news has been received from the Eastern Department. The journals of Havana have refrained for the past week from publishing news from the seat of war, and it appears as if there was a tacit under- standing not to inform the peopie as to the condition of affairs, The Diario of to-day says that General Augustin Arango, of the revolutionary forces, has been assas- sinated by his companions.

The semi-annaal literary exercises of the St. Francia Xavier's Debating Society took place last evening in the college hall, West Sixteenth street, Large as is the capacity of this hall it was crowded by ahighly respectable audience, Archbishop McCios- key, Rev. Father Loyzance, Rev. Fatner Deaiy and a number of clergymen occupied seats on the plat- form. The question for debate was:—‘“‘English and Spanish Policy in the Treatment of the American Abotigines of this ontinent.” Mr. Charles Sloane was elected chairman by the dis- putants.

It is understood that General Grant and lady will be the guests of ex-Governor Hamilton Fish during their stay in New York, which will probable be for a few days. THE ROGERS ASSASSINATION, The Authorities Still Confident that they have Secured the Principal—Collins’ Statements. Yesterday passed without any new revelations having been made in this deeply interesting case, that continues to be the theme of conversation and speculation, Efforts are being made by sergeants of some of the other precincts to detract from the credit that Sergeant Lowery of the Fifteenth pre- cinct, has achieved for working up the clue that re- sulted in the arrest of Maher and Reilly, by the cir- culation of reports that at the time the murder was committed, the prisoners were still in the lodging room of the Fourteenth precint, but when questioned as to the hour when they took tneir departure, they are unable to state, but express the opinion that it was between six and seven A.M. Collins, who, itis sald, lodged as usual at the Spring street station house on Wednesday night, is reported to have said, in speaking of the murder, that he was not with Maher on the morning of the assassina- tion, and that Maher went down to the Tombs from the station house to hear Justice Dowling, who is a favorite of his, expound the iaw. These voluntary statements of Collins, however, amount to just nothing. The truth 1s that there is no harmonious action and feel- ing on the part of the police im ferreting out the guilty party, and this has seriously interrupted the successful prosecution of the case. Petty jealousies have arisen among the wara detectives and special men employed on the work, and from the dirst they have been at cross purposes. The Qe i have been fully t of, the minutest iculars of the search and arrest of the 8; street prisoners, still maintain sanding’ tne’ doubts that.

Bulwer's great play of “Richelieu, or the Conspir- acy,” was presented last evening at this establish- ment, with Mr. McKean Buchanan sustaining the réle of the crafty duke and Miss Virginia Buchanan that of the virtuous and loving Julie de Mauprat. ‘Though not quite filling the house the audience nev- ertheless was decidedly appreciative, making up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers.

Prince Carnival did not feel at home at the French ball. He was shocked and scared at the pranks of the Gauls. So he said at the last commers of the Arions, when he laid down the Programme for last night's ball. At the same time, in spite of tus energetic remonstrances to the contrary, the Prince likes the can cau. He thinks that it is the greatest sensation that ever ema- nated from the heels, not the brains, of Terpsichore. But then at the Cercle Frangais he complained of the want of order and prescribed fun, which order and decorous fun he in vain attempted to in- ‘stil in the minds of the festive boutters. But in the Arions he found earnest and sober-minded devotees, whoplan the wildest schemes of fun in the most philo- sophical manner and exchange vows of fealty to the jovial Prince over the foaming lager. Last night was a leaf from the “Arabian Nights,” ana had the wife-hating potentate been present he would have needed no Scheherazede to show him fairyland. it was an occasion to be remembered by those present. Such a variety of costumes and such spiendor were never seen before. The Academy itself put on its tegen look and photographed the children of Fatherland in vivid colors. The ball commenced at nine o’clock, at the signal of the leader of the orchestra, Rietzel. As the grand crash of a hundred instruments reverberated through the spacious ballroom the custain rose and the carnival procession filed upon the floor. ‘Then advanced an extraordinary collection of humanity. The floor committee dressed in the cos- tume of the origina! Brigham Young, whom Offen- bach has immortalized, and the lobby committee in Ughts, as pages of the queen. According to the veracious programme a European steamer had just deposited its human freight at Castie Garden, and a crowd of emigrants came from the shores of the Al tic beyond to do homage to Prince Carnival. Conspicuous among those emigrés, were Queen Isabella, a piethoric, gross and lopsided-looking female; rick, King of Hanover, and Wilhelm, Elector of Hesse, These three potentates appeared with their noses out of joint, which calamity was occasioned by the ingratitude of their faithless sub- jects. Among the emigrants was the joiliest of all ‘Teutons, Arion. He had trouble on leaving the ves- sel. Some scapegrace stole his “big 1dea” tor the car- nival, which he had carefully stowed away in his stateroom. With the aid of some detectives he dis- covered the criminal, whose name was not Logan, but Teutonia. The trial of the prisoner ts announced for an early day. In the procession came the ruler of the bal masque, Prince Carnival (Mr. Grill), and before him Kneit the following suitors for his tavor:— Old fogies and antediluvian opera managers, Max, Ullmann, Strakosch, &c., leading Falstaif, Leporelio, Zerline, Don Juan, Figaro, Pay na, Lay Masaniello, Queen of the Night, Fra Diavolo, Max, Lucretia, Nancy (Martha), Othello, L’Africaine, Mephisto, Margaret, William Teil and Son, Norma, &c., who had their claims opposed by the “Young Men’s Christian Cancan ””” com- posed of Bateman and Grau, with Notary, Judge, General Boum, Grande Duchesse, Fritz, Astrologer, erry Menelaus, Ajax Brothers, Genevieve de , Narciss, Belle Helene, Orpheus, Jupi- ter, Perichole, Piquillo, &c., &c.
