Orrawa, June 12, 1369, In the House of Commons iast nignt Mr. Kose moved that the House go into committee on the reso- lutions respecting the additional subsidy to Nova Scotia. Mr. BLAKE opposed the motion, contending that the general government had no power to alter the verms of the union as fixed by the British North American act, He moved that it was mexpedient, im the opinion of the House, to go into committee on the resolutions, After a very lengthy debate the original motion was lost, on a division, of 57 to 96. The Governor General has submitted to the House acopy of a correspondence between the Canadian delegates to London and Lord Granville, relating to the Island of San Juan. His Lordship informed the aelegates that he had ascertained from Lord Claren- don that Mr. Sumner had been authorizea by the Commiitee of the United States Senate on Foreign Relations, to make a report on the San Juan Conven- tion, and to recommend that they should sanction its ratification oy the President. Her Majesty’s Minister at Wi was of the opinion that no reason existed why the report should not be taken into consideration by the te auring the present segsion. In reply to the delegates? communication res ing the losses and’ damages sustained by the inva- sion of Canada by the Fenians, Earl Granville says:— “If a mixed commission was constituted for the set- tlement of British-American claims, due notice woe be given, so that all parties might present claims. The militia report shows the volunteer force of the Dominion actually enrolled in 1868 to be 75,948. Of the reserve militia there are in Ontario 315,352; yrebec, 216,216; New Brunswick, 55,622; Nova Sco- tla, 69,876. ‘The report on fortifications says that in February last there were 64,250 breech-loaders in reserve and in store; 31,000 Snyder rifles, besides 25,000,000 rounds of ammunition. Believing this is in excess of the requirements, Mr. Cardwell intends to withdraw in the autumn 25,000 Snyder rifles and 10,000,000 rounds of armmunition, The Imperial government are of opinion that the military and naval service must be largely reduced. It is intended in the summer to withdraw irom Ontario and Quebec one regiment of cavalry, three batteries of fleld and three batteries of garrison ar- tillery and three battalions of infantry; trom Nova Scola and New Brunswick, two battalions and one field battery. Halifax is to be considered an impe- rial station and 2,000 men left for its defence. Four companies of Canadian rifles are to be disbanded, and it 1s to be left to the consigeration of the Do- minion government whether they are to be sup- ported at their expense. The number of armed ves- sels is alsoto be reduced. Three gunboats will be jJeft on the lakes, Another naval force must be kept up at the expense of Canada. Mr. Cardwell says these reductions are only part of a policy long con- templated. The Disaffection in Nova ScotinPassage of a Resolution in the House of Assembly to Test the Legality of Confederation—Free Utterance of Annexation Sentiments in Debate. HALIFAX, N. S., June 12, 1869. In the House of Assembly last night Attorney General Wilkins moved the resolutions authorizing an appeal to the English courts to test the legality of confederation. He said that he did not propose that a@ deiegation should be sent to England, but would prepare the case and submit it to eminent counsel. If the opinion was favorable he would take steps to bring the question involving the Legality act be- fore the courts, Messrs. Troof and Smith, two of the delegates to England, opposed the resolution on the ground that already eminent counsel (Sir Roundell Paimer and Vernon Harcourt) bad said the act was legal. Hon. Mr. Wilkins said the case was not placed be- fore the counsel fairly, and Sir Koundell Palmer was prejudiced against Nova Scotia. . Alter along debate, in which annexation senti- ments were ireely uttered, the question was taken. For the resolution, 16; against, 14. rota was given of the motion to rescind the vote. The Vote Rescinded—The Resolution Fails, HALiPax, N. S., June 12, 1969. ‘The House to-day rescinded the vote of yesterday on Mr. Wilkins’ resolutions. Consequently there will be no appeal to the English law courts as to confederation, THE INDIANS. Protection for the Settlers in Kansas— Vigorous Measures to be LInstituted by the Military—The Christianizati of the Savage—Circular trom the Indian Com. missio: WASHINGTON, June 12, 1869, Senator Ross and Mr. Reynolds, editor of the Law- rence Journal, have been in this city for a week past on business connected with affairs in Kansas. They have had interviews with President Grant, Secretary Rawlins and General Sherman. The result of their mission is that orders were to-day prevared, addressed to Generals Sheridan and Scofield, to treat all the Indians outside of the four great re- servations as hostile and to proceed against them accordingly, with @ view to the protection of the citizens of Kansas and elsewhere on the froatier. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs will issue a circular to the superintendents and agents of the Indian Department, advising them substantially as follows:— It 18 the wish and policy of the government to localize all the Indians upon reservations, to be se- lected by themselves, or Jor them by the authorized agents of the goverument. When so located every assistance practicable authorized by law will be given to advance them in agricultural pursuits and _ arts of by apg - oe of Lal —— local permanent abodes poh “fessPrations, and the superintendents and agents are required by the department AH TR all the | rights to the extent of their powers, all Indians in their districts who are and will remain so located, or who may hereafter come in and locate. Indiaus who fall or refuse to come in and locate in permanent abodes upon reservations will be su! t wholly to the con- trol and supervision of the military authorities, who, as circumstances may justify, will, at their discretion, treat them as friendly or hostile. officers of the Indian Department are instructed that it is proper they shouid at once notify the Indians of the dever- mination of the government, so that those who are friendly may not leave their reservations and subject themselves to suspicion and the supervision of the military authorities. Care should taken to inform the Indians claiming to be friendly that they must not violate the laws of the United States by acts of murder, theft or robbery; that for such crimes the tribes will be heid responsible, and their annuities will be withheld until the offend- ers are delivered up by them to be properly pun- ished. Applications for the use of the military against unlawful members of any friendly tribe will hot be granted uniess the determination to commit outrage be too strong and the combination too for tne superintendents and to subdue them with the means or __ provisio: the superintendents or any age! Indians or indians in hostility to the government; but when they come in and locate upon 4 reservation with a view of becom- ing friendly to the government and cultivating the arts and habits of a civilized life, every assistance practicable in the way of clothing, provisions and agricultural implements will be given to them.

RicHMonD, June 12, 1869, Since the arrest and release on bail of the seconds in the Hughes-Cameron duel nothing has been heard of either principals or seconds It reported that the parties have gone to North Carolina, but every effort to ascertain their whereabouts has failed. Every exertion has been made, both oy the civil authorities and General Canby to prevent the meeting of the hostile parties, Much excitement stili prevails here, and the affair is the greatest sensation since the Pollard assassination, politics even becoming a secondary ‘tier. Many of the friends of both parties believe the duel may have already taken place, and, trom the character of the parties, a deadly eucounter is expected, THE PEACE JUBILEE. Jubilation at the Hub—The Hotels Severely Taxed—Programme of President Grant’s Movements on His Arrival—The Choruses and Bands—Rebearsals, Boston, June 12, 1869. ‘The city is rapidly filling up wich visitors to the great Peace Jubilee and musical festival of next week, Every inward train and steamboat during the day and evening has been burdened wita full quadruple’ the usual number of passengers—and as @ mecessary consequence, the capacity of the hotels 4s being pretty severely tested. The evening is one of the finest of the summer season, and Washington, Tremont, and other prominent streets and avenues are crowded with strange aud gay promenaders; and between the common, the public garden and the Coliseum there 18 an almost endless string of ladies and gentlemen. The theatres are also crowded, and every plece rendered is replete with jubilee gags and the audiences of course applaud hartily. the pastors of the various churches will undoubtedly indulge largely in Peace Ser- mons to-morrow, and thus the home and visiting community will be religiously as weli as otherwise prepared for the harmonious combination of noise and racket which will go up im such sweet strains from the Coliseum during five out of the seven days of tHe coming week. There has been an unprecedented rush for tickets all the day and eventng, and the choicest seats having been bought up a day or two since by speculators, the purchasers who have been tardy have been obit to pay a liberal premium for their neglect or else be content with ppomenaae tickets. The greatest demand for tickets hs been for the first three days, and it would seem from present indications that the largest crowd will be at the opening on Tuesday and at the national WASHINGTON.

Reported Foul Work of the Grand Army of the Republic. WasHtnarton, June 12, 1869. Secretary Fish’s Policy Towards Cuba—Non- Recognition an Aid to the Insurgents, It seems the Cuban sympathizers here were a little premature in the hopes they entertained yesterday of speedy recognition on the part of our government. They supposed that the almost total disappearance of the Spanish authority would naturally lead Secre- tary Fish to recognize at once the only other Power on the island, that of the patriot Cubans, Mr. Fish, however, 1s still disposed to make haste slowly. He acknowledges that the power of Spain has virtually disappeared from the isiand, nothing remaining of it but the mob known as the Spanish volun- teers; but he thinks it unwise to abandon the policy which he has heretofore pursued to- wards Cuba. This policy, the Secretary insists, has been and 1s the best for the patriot Cubans as well as lor our government, He regards the present con- ition of affairs in Cuba as proof of the wisdom of nis policy. Had he been guided by the urgent ap- peais of the Cuban agents, or listened to the popular fe pamiode Panes an Paes etn clamor, and recognized the belligerent rights of nniversary of ie battle oo! unker | : Hill, Great arrangements are being made Sone Mae Heeeieny, ean Pe: Wout ey bane for the reception of General.

The inde. mndent Cadets will be on duty at the State House during the President's reception there, and this wil be immediately after the review on the Common. At the reception of the President at the State House there are to be no speeches and the affair will be made as informal as possible. The members of the Legislature will be afforded an opportunity to indulge in the American weakness of “‘tand-shaking” with him. From the a cali at the Department of State to-day, said that Mr. Fish deserved the thanks of the country, Mr, Fish thinks he sees the end of the trouble in Cuba, He does not believe that action on the part of our government would hasten it, while it might, just at this jancture, delay it.

Information has Just been received here by parties in the interest of the Cubans that two expeditions, numbering over six hundred men, with arms, ammu- nition and provisions have safely landed in Cuba and joined the revolutionary forces. They are repre- sented as tried soldiers, all of them having been in the armies of the late war. Desertions from the Spanish forces to the Cubans are increasing every day. There are frequent coilisions between the Spanish troops and the volunteers, and the dim- culties between the parties are represented as irre- concilable, The Cubans have organized thelr forces into two army corps, one to be under the command of General Thomas Jordan. An engagement ts daliy expected between the forces of General Lesca and those under General Jordan. The Cubans are in fine spirits and confident of victory. General Jordan has over two thousand Americans in his corps, and it 1s believed that the Spantard will find them a different class of soldiers from any they ever before met in battle. The Ruthless Guillotine in the War Depart. ment—Four Hundred Clerks Discharged. I telegraphed you some time ago that a list of clerks doomed for the ofMfcial guillotine had been made out by the War Department authorities, and that at no distant day the victims would be sené tenced for execution, To-day the death warrant was publicly announced, or at least its existence hospitalities of the city government who have ten- dered him a dinner. He leaves on a special train in the eveniug for Groton, where he will be the guest of Secretary Boutwell. It is understood that he can remain but one day, although an effort will be made to have him remain until after Thursday feo attend the Bunker Hill celebration in Charles- wn. The ——— delegation of the chorus arrived this evening, and there will be acquisitions from other Western cities to-morrow morning.

There wasjanother mammoth vocal rehearsal at the Music Halil this evening, at which everything went off in a noisy and successful mauner, and the same may be as truly satd or the reherasals of some twenty or thirty different bands of music this after- noon. To wind up it may be safely declared that the affair is to be really a big thing. Large Fire in Cincinnati—Loss $40,000— Ru. mored Loss of Life.

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ITEMS. Alexander H. Stephens has recovered from his re- cent illness, caused by an accident, Thomas Duke, another alleged incendiary, has been arrested in Altoona, Pa. There are four of them now in jail and three out on bail. The sleeping car train from the North. which left Rutland, Vt., early yesterday morning, ran off the track about two miles and a half south of Poult- deprived of their cosey the number. It is tne largest batch at one sweep ever yet doomed, perhaps, under any administration, Secretary Rawlins, it seems, decided upon the step before leaving for Connecti- cut, and some of the to-be-removed officials deciare that he delayed the promulgation of the order pur- posely until after his departure so that he might be spared the appeals for reinstatement that would nataraliy follow. Rawlins is a tender hearted man and could very poorly endure such entreaties. He would be sure to break down and cave in if com- peiled to meet the storm of complaints and prayers that would be directed at him, consequently he did well to retreat to the repose of the Nutmeg State and leave his subordinates to meet the moans aud sighs and impreca- tions. News of the affair leaked out some time this morning, through a clerk who secured a private ney. The engine Hes on its side, in soft ground: | perusal of the order, and it may be imagined that dam: io one was injured. there was soon a big sensation all over the dingy John Dunton, a resident of Bath, Me., committed | old War OMce. Clerks were noticed whispering to suicide at Angusta last might by throwing himsel! | each other at first very quietly and mysteriously, ee ries he restameny vine, aa then more loudly, then they were observed dropping out In groups into the corridors of the building and even into the streets to discuss the terrible mandate from the martial Tycoon. Many faces that were yesterday happy looking and smiling were suddenly clouded with gloom and sorrow. In such cases there are always some who will talk cheerfully, “Well, my dear Jim, my trunks are packea any how. No use crying, you know. Laugh and cheer up, old fellow.” “All very well for you to talk, Joe; you baven't any family, but I have." “Pshaw, I don’t believe the thing can be carried out; why, fthe War Department might as well be closed up at once, If that order ts really executed there wont be enough left to do the business,’ “Rawlins will suspend the execution, you may be sure, He can't be so foolish as to insist upon such an outrageous proceeding.” “Jt is not Rawlins’ work at all. that d——d Army of the Republic, John A. Logan and Jim Thayer are at the boitom of it. I suspected they were at some devilish trick when I saw them hanging about here so much lately.’ “That's why Rawlins went away, too, He was forced in the step and then was afraid to face the music."* In such Ways did the clerks talk over the matter among themselves, Their customary resorts for hiqtid and solid refreshments were deserted, and at least two noted beer establishments in the viciuity of the War Office had good reason to bewail the un- popular order. The stamps were rarities in those establishments. The order is said to be substan- tally as follow: Ordered, That the generai service and temporary clorks and ail other clerks employed in this depart. ment and not authorized by law be discharged from and after July 16, 1860, and that the same be fur- loughed for thirty days, commencing June 15, 1869. ‘The effect of this order is to reduce the force of the Adjutant Generai’s office from 300 to about 65, and ail the otner bureaus ia about a goTrespoudivg a young, man With @ family, and bas been insane for the last ten days, owing to financial diMculties.

At haif-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon Thomas Lowery, @ boy aged eight years, residing at 521 Greenwich street, was run over at the corner of Canal and Greenwich streets by one of the dammy engines of the Hudson River Rafiroad and instantly killed, ten of the cars passing over his head, smashing it to @ jelly. The body was removed by officers Hugnes and Corcoran to the Fifth pre cinct station house where an inquest will ve held by the Coroner to-day. The engineer, Thomas McDon- ald, residing at No. 638 West Twenty-nintn street, was arrested and will be held to await the investi- gation of the Coroner’s jury. Parties who were eye witnesses to the accident exonerate the engineer from i blame as they state the boy was in the act of caine 5p on one of the eves and slip) One remarkable feature of the case is that of @ respectably attired German man, about forty years of age, name unknown, who wit nessed the accident, stepped from the pavement into the liqd@r saloon No. 462 Washington atrect, catied for @ giags of liquor at the bar, but before it was served out to him he fel dead on the foor, it Is sup. from heart disease, created by the excitement in Witnessing the accident. He was dressed in biack frock coat, black vest, gray pants and dark undershirt. His body was removed to the Filtt pre es station house, Where aa inquest will be held to-day. It's the work of style. From the Quartermaster General's office eighty-three will depart; another office will be cut down from 149 to exuctly one clerk; still another, having 176 clerks, will be cieamed out completely— head, tail and body. The Pay Department will suffer with the rest. Among the dismissed undoubtedly Will be @ great proportion of very efficient men, who have not only fought, bled and become mutilated in the war, but who have been true followers and be- lievers in the most radical tenets of the republican doctrine, One-legged and one-armed soldiers are not even spared. Indeed, it is sala wmile some of the untouched officials are competent, deserving and reliable men in every way, still many more of them are old fossils and ancient fogies, who have done little else for years but draw their pay. One of the to be removed clerks humorously remarked that nobody would ve left except the antiquated ducks who dally wend their way along a beaten track to and from the War Department, and who if led Off that track a few steps would be sure to lose their way, There are several expianations of this extra- ordinary movement given, but none of them official. One is that already mentioned, to wit, that the Grand Army of the Republic, of which the warlike Logan ts the big chieftain, occasioned the order, so that by making a general sweep vacancies woula be created, into which the rank and file of the Grand Army might easily be conducted. Logan and Sena- tor Thayer are certainly credited with no insignifi- cant influence in procuring the order. Rawlins, it is known, was opposed to making any changes except for neMciency or gross copperheadism, and it ts said that Logan and Thayer kept arguing with him until finally, wearied out completely, he yield¢d to their wishes, According to this story, therefore, there is to be no permanent economy resultant. It will simply be a turning out of one batch and a turning in of another. Another theory is that Rawlins and Sherman concocted the thing with a view to weed- ing out all the incompetents, and discovering upon how small a force the business of the department might be conducted. Those who believe in this ex- planation say that the plan adopted was the only decent one they could devise. Under the pre- text of discharging all not authorized by law, they could turn out an immense number with- out regard to politics and efficiency. That accomplished, then many of the really efMcient clerks could be reinstated. Whatever was the object sought it is certain that the bare announcement of the tremendous change bas created an unexampled excitement here among the clerks, Telegrams have been sent to Secretary Rawlins advising a suspen- sion of the order at least until his return, and it is even said that the benevolent Rawlins has consented to so far delay the execution. Quartermaster Gen- eral Meigs has requested all the clerks in his ofice to avail themselves of the leaves of absence granted to them, as the matter may be yet fixed. Political Disabilities and Executive Pardon, T. T. Fauntleroy, of Winchester, Va., recently ad- dressed a letter to General Canby, stating that in 1865 he nad received a full pardon from the President for his participation in the rebellion; that he was thus fully rehabilitated as a citizen of the United States under the constitu- tion thereof; that he had cast his vote at the elec- tion in this State on the 7th of October, 1865, thus exercising the rights and immunities of a citizen, and that he is not now a registered voter, having been refused that right, and, of course, the right to vote. Fauntleroy then contends that as the four- teenth amendment and the Reconstruction acts were passed subsequent to his rehabilitation asa citizen they do not affect his political status, and he appeals to General Canby for a decision that will enable him to register and vote in the coming election. The reply of General Canby is brief and decisive. He says that the Executive pardon does not remove political disabulties. The Brokers’ Tax—Decision of Commissioner Delano.
