Radical Protest Agnin: 0 Legality of the Legisiniure—Reconstruction Obstructed=At- tompt to Exact the Test Oath of Legislative Oficers. RICHMOND, Oct. 6, 1869. In the organization of the Senate to-day the Walker republicana elected their candidates by a strict party vote, the radicals in the instance of the election of an assistant doorkeeper, who was col- ored, refusing to vote. A radical member, acting under the course determined upon in a party caucus thia morning, formally protested against any officer being elected who was unable to take the test oath, The protest declaring the Legislature to be an illegal body, mentioned tn the despatches of yesterday, was adopted this morning in caucus. To- night, in caucus also, a motion was made by Major Haskell, radical Senator, to furnish the HgnaLp ex- clustvely with copy of the protest; put before a vote could be taken it was moved and determined to defer its publication for another day. The meeting of the radical members of both houses to-night was guarded with the utmost secrecy, and in conse- quence of their singular course the wiidest run.ors are afloat. It transpired, however, that General Canby 18 to be petitioned to require the test oath of ali the officers of the Legislature, which, tf carried, would unseat all those elected by the Waiker republicans and indefinitely postpone the organiza- tion of either branch of the Gencral Assombly. One of the ramors that has gained considerable cur- rency 1s to the effect that the radical members who can take the test oath intend to secede and form what they atylea legal Legisiature, and in case their number would not make a quorum they will appeal to Congress to declare the seats of all who are unable to take the teat oath vacant and seat the ey receiving the next highest number of votes. ‘his is the programme believed to be engineered by Ben Butier and other radioal leaders in Congress, If the radical minority here are supported by either the administration or Congress reconstruction will be effectually obstructed. The cancus of the Walker members of the House is now tn session, makin, nominations of officers. It ts state: at eleven P. that General Canby will receive orders from Wash- ington to-morrow to exact the test oath from the officers ot the Legislature, THE RLAINS. ~~ ao?

One of the most cold-blooded murders and suictite that has taken placo in thts city for along time, resuitiog tn (he aimost instantancous death of three persons, occurred at No. 67 Cherry street last night, the facts of which could be gathered at a late hour saat night were as {ollowe:— On the third door, in the roar of the above premt- ges, resided Heury Acong, his wife Sarah Ano Chariea Archoo aud & young man, about seventesn years of age, named George Arguny, tho latter of whom only remains to throw any light upon this horrid batchery. About half-past ten Acong and ils Wife, in company with the boy, were in the sit. Ung room, the wife asieep on the sofa, the man Archoe being in hig bedroom adjoining the bati. Acong suddenly sprung ap and proceeded to tho hall bedroom, and began a conversation with Archoe in relation to money matters; shortly after which the young man states he heard Charley cry- {og murder, rushing to the door saw Acong plunging a large dagger into the body of Charley, Who was atill lying on the bed with his clothes on. He immediately ran for the stairs, shouting “Murder at sie top of his voice, and was puraued part way down, but stumbling, he rolled to the bot- tom, and Acobg returned to (he sitting room, The boy, as soon as able, gained the street and @ecured the servioea of oMcer Burns, of the Fourth precinct, who entered the house, and was borrified at beholding Acong’s wife lying at the foot of the staira dead. Proceeding up the staira to the sitting room he discovered Acong lying ‘n a bed in a room adjoining the sitting room, plunging a large knife into his breast and side, and groaning in most agonizing tones. Seizing the arm of the murderer and suicide he wrenched the weapon from his hands, By this time officers Nash and others, of the Fourth precinct, came to his assistance; but tho unfortunate man lived but about twenty minutes, when he breathed his last. Upon examining the bodies they wero found to be mutilated and butchered in a horrible manner, the man Archoe having uine stab wounds on him—three on the breast. threo on the left side and three on the left arm, besides a slignt cut across the throat. Acong’s wife was stabbed in several places about the breast and stomach, the entratls protruding from the latter wounds, Acong himself was stabbed several times in the breast, bowels and side. it {s presumed that after stabbing the man in the room he returned to his room, where bis wife lay, sleeping on the sofa, and plunged the dagger into her, asthe wall and sofa near by were besineared with blood, and in her struggle to free herself had reached as far as the top of the stairs and either fell down from the loss of blood or was pushed down by her susband. Her place was, pre- vious to the bioody transaction, scrupulously neat and clean; but last night the scene it presented upon entering was sickening, the entire place being besmeared with biood. Acong Is a satlor and retarned from a five months’ voyage about a week ago, since which time, the boy Arguny states, he has been acting “funny,” laugh- ing to himself all the while. No motive can be as- signed for the committal, as both he, his wife and Archoe have been on friendly terms, The iostru- ment with which the bloody deed was committed was @ dirk knife having a blade about six inches long, with an ivory handle, and 1s now in possession of Captain Allaire at the Fourth precinct station house, Coroner Flynn has been notified and will hold an inquest at ten o’clock this morning. ‘The boy Arguny has been locked up in the Fourth precinct station house to appear as a witness before the Coroner's jury. The parties are all in the prime of life, none of them being over thirty-five years of age. Acong leaves one child, a boy about four years of age, who was taken care of by the police. THE PRIZE RING. The Contemplated Fight Between Sam Collyer and Charles Doherty—Arrival of the Parties on the Battle Ground—Doherty Over Weight and the Stakes Awarded to Collyer=Prospect of a Fight at an Enrly Day Betweon the Partios. Nor¥OLK, Va., Oct. 5, 1869. For three days past this city has been in a state of great excitement, caused by the “gathering of the clans” and arrangements in progress for the prize fight for $1,000, announced to take place between Sam Collyer, of Baltimore, the hero of several bat- ties, and Uharies Doherty, of Richmond, Va., who is @ new aspirant for pugilistic honors, having appeared inthe ‘squared arena’ but once before. ‘To-day’s proceedings eulminated tn Collyer receiv- ing the stakes by reason of his antagonist being over weight. For days past the ‘“fancy’’ of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond and Norfolk have been getting ready to jst in the ceremony, and boats were engaged to carry them to the battle ground, which was James- town Isiand, in tue James river. The military authorities made strenuous efforta to prevent tle fight, and @ guard of soldiers was ordered to seize the boat, which left this city at one o'clock this morning. They arrived too late, however, and ihe soldiers were transferred totwo tugs belonging to the Navy Yard, which immediately steamed in pur- sult of the N. P. Banks, the steamer on which were Collyer and his party. The Banks, however, suc- ceeded in cluding pursuit, Donerty and his party left Richmond at eleven o’clock on Moniay evenin; and met tue Norioik crowd at the fighting ground. When the party arrived the ring was at once itched, but it was found upon weighing that herty tarned the scales at 130 pounds and Coll- Yer ati27'%. As the fight was set at 128, Collyer Claimed the stakes, and they were awarded him by the loner igh amid the cheers of the imwense crowd. An effort was made for meee weight fight be- tween young Carroll, of Balumhore, and Howard, a soldier, for $300, but the friends of the parties could notagree, ‘The crowd then dispersed. Collyer was in splendid condition, our correspoudent that he never felt better in bis ife. Doherty looked in bad condition. His seconds were to have been Barney Aaron and William Peasley; Collyer’s seconds were John Dwyer and John Clark, of Baltimore. Collyer and Dwyer will leave here to-morrow for Richmond, where Doherty and Sam will sign articles for a fight at the same Weight at $1,000 a side, to take place at an early day. NEW YORK.

Action of the Cabinet in tho Case of the Privatcer Hornet~The Vessel to Be De- tained—Aun Investigation into Her Character OrderedAnother Expedition Contemplated. WASHINGTON, Oct, 5, 1869. The Cabinet meeting to-day was brief, and the ouly question Of interest discussed waa the case of the privateer Hornet, of Cuba, After @ careful con- sideration of the matter lt was agreed that the Hornet should be detained unti! an examination can be made into her character, Her oMfcers and crew are to be taken before the United States Com- missioner at Wilmington and examined. What will be the result of the matter is not known. It 1s thought in oficial circies here that the Cuba ran into Wilmington forthe purpose of being seized, her officers and men fearing that they might be pur- sued elther by some United States, British or Span- ish vessel. Itis but just to add, however, that this opinion is not shared by Cuban sympathizers here, The Spanish Minister is particularly well pleased with the decision of the Cabinet. Information has been received in Washington of a Cuban expedition consisting of 400 men, with an abundant war material, which wilt leave the vicin- ity of New York, Tho Privateer Cuba—Arraignmont of Her Oficere—Chargos Agniust the Vessel—An- swer to the Allegations—It is Decided to Hold Her Until an Examination is Made. WILMINGTON, N. C., Oct. 6, 1969. This morning the case of the Cuban privateer Hornet was taken before General Allen Rutherford, United States Commissioner for the district of Cape Fear. Judge Person and Mr. French appeared for the government, and George Davis and Judge 0. P. Mears forthe defendants, The parties were araigned on the charge that they ald accept and exercise a commission to serve a foreign people in war, to wit, the people of Cuba, against the people of Spain, a country with which the United States 1s at peace; aud did ft out and arm, and did procure to be | fitted out and armed within the limits of the United States a certain ship or vesse! called the Cuba, with the intent that said vessel shall be employed In the service of the people of Cuba to cruige and commit hostilities against the people of Spain—a country with which the United States are at peace—and did enlist and serve on ooard of said vessel, with intent to cruise and commit hostilities against the people of Spain, in violation of the statutes of the United States and of the act of Congress of the 20th of April, 1818. The government not pressing the mat- ter the parties were not required to give ponds for their appearance at the time specified, but were placed in the custody of United States Marshal Nef, who released them on parole on their personal assu- rance that they would not leave, Counsel for the government made the point that the vessel had been fitted out in the United States as charged in the tndictment to cruise and commit hostilities against a government with which the United States was at peace, and, to make ita prima Jacie case, they asked for continuance to allow time to secure the presence of witnesses for the govern- ment from New York and Washington. Counsel for the defendants opposed the motion for continuance, contending that the United States had no right to hold them, as the vessel was commis- sioned by a regularly organized government, the republic of Cuba. The ship put in at Smithville in distress, and 1t was contrary to the law of nattons to detain her. Commissioner Rutherford decided it was a prima facie case, and granted the government until Monday, the 11th Inst., to produce witnesses. The Cuben Expedition Delayed=Whereabouts of the Recruits—Intentions of the Leaders, WASHINGTON, Uct. 5, 1889, Your correspondent, who left the Florida coast last Saturday, announces the reported departure of the Cuban expedition on Friday as premature. The expedition was delayed at Cedar Keys, owing to the non-arrival of the Lilllan’s convoy from New Orleans with additional troops. About 2,200 men are scattered about the Florida Keys, and it was expected they would embark on Saturday or Sun- day, a8 the Lillian was reported lying off, awaiting the tide. Tho Florida Railroad two weeks ago trans- ported to Cedar Keys ten carloads of war material, consigned to gentlemen in Galveston, which is now at a point out ofthe reach of United States oficers. Artillery waa brought out from New York on a schooner and put aboard a yessel In the Gulf. It is positively asserted by oMcers high in command that Steadman and Magruder will go out on the Lillian or Teaser or in the next venture, The detention of the Hornet at Wilmington may delay the final de- parture for Cuba, as she wasto be aconvoy. The Lillian ig commanded by Eloy Comancho, the pilot who, in March last, captured the Spanish steamer Comanditario, and who went out on the last trip of the Alabama. THE SPANIARDS AND CUBANS IN NEW YORK, Affairs at the Junta—The Hornet and the Euterpe—The Spanish Gunboats and tho United Stntes Marshal. Intense excitement prevailed yesterday in Spanish and Cuban circles in this city, in consequence of the news of the morning and-the rumors which were flying about in the afternoon. While the hot-headed Dons were depressed in spirits and exceedingly abusive of the general government, the Cuban lead- ers preserved @ calm serenity, which could only be the results of conscious fnnocence and intimate knowledge of the intentions of the authorities at Washington. The history of the Cuba, or, ag she fs still called, the Hornet, is now well known, but hitherto she has not received that attention which her importance would seem to demand. There is an important question of law at issue concerning her, and the attempt to solve it may possibly resuitin war. An American vessel started from an American port, and after- ‘wards seized, searched, and finally freed in a British harbor, and sent to sea by her owners a3 a man-of- warypr privateer; it was evident from the firat that she would be the cause of no little trouble, The Spanish agents hoped to fasten the blame of ber departure asa pirate on the United States govern- ment, and make her the occasion for a declaration of neutrality on the part of the authorities at Washing- ton as would greatly benefit the Spanish regency; and the Cubans hoped that her peculiar case would hasten the acknowledgment of tne belligerent righta of the Cuban repwdlic by the President and Cabinet, This was the burden of conversation yesterday in placea where Dong and Cubans most do congregate. ‘The bulk of opiuton favored the idea that Captain Higgins, commander of the Cuba, had flanked the administration and forced the acknowledgment of the belligerency of the Ceapedes government, and it was universally conceded that the entrance of the Cuba into the port of Wilmington was a ruse de guerre, aud Was not cansed by the supposed want of coal or supplies. The advantage which would naturally attach to the captain of the Cuba in having at the outset of his cruise an acknowledg- mentby the United States authorities that he was legitimately employed in lawful warfure against Spain was evideatly taken into account, and the risk of renoing the ship into Wilmington was doubtless well considered and finally accepted with the Coy mentioned, No tittle surprise was expressed in the clty yesterday that the administration should have been fast in declaring its position toward the Cuba, and the only explanation oifered was that Vresident Grant had finally made up bis mind to take n decided stand against (Xe pretensions of Spa! and {a favor of the Cuban patviots., ‘the action of the Cabinet in granting permissi¢n to the Cuba to remain tn port twenty-four hours @ virtual ace Kuowledgment of the belligerent i of Cuba. No nation can rigittutly accord such @ petvilege to a Vessel of @ province or dependency of @ wetion with which it ia at peace uness for the purpose of giving an open acknowledgment of tue belligerency of that province or dependency, Without the recogni- ton of the Cuban repubile by the United States the Wastingion authorities cannot regard the Cuba in any other light than as @ pirate, except by taking ground which wil speedily result im war with Spata or the formal recoguition of the insurgeats as am in- dependent power, The action of the government therefore ts juatly regarded ag significant of its action tm the future. Theae considerations formed the stapie of animated Couversation in Spanish and Cuban etretea in the city yeaterday, and were discussed [rom every point of view, and in accordance with the political bear- ings » speakers. At the Cuban Junta headquar- tere satisfaction Was expreased by leading Cubans that the administration had at iength taken @ deterinined stand, and one in perfect accord with the hopes of the patriots and the wishes of the ma- jority of American citizens. ‘fhe rooms of the Junta were thronged all day and the utmost enthusiasm waa manifested by the visitors, ‘The idea of the Cuba having to go into Wilmington for coal was regarded aa an excellent joke, several veasela being atationed outside that port for some time laden with the Precious mineral for the use of the ship. In fact, enough transpired in conversation with the leading Cubans to show that the man-of-war sailed mto Wil- mington merely for the purpose of getting a cha- racter from the United States government previous to her voyage tn search of Spantsh merchantmen.

HIGGINS, The Euterpe still lies at pier 20, her owners afraid to lot her proceed to sea. ‘Tae answer of Mr. Secr tary Fish to the letter of Mesars, Maliory was con- sidered somewhat evasive, if uot ironical, and the assurance of the determtnation of the governmeut to avenge any and every insult to ita flag by priva- teers, while being considered unnecessary, Was not thought entirely satisfactory. The fears of Messrs, Maliory are, however, entirely groundless, as the Cuban officers would not dare to molest the Euter while sailing under the United States flag. That the Spaniards and Cubans also have a perfect right to ship arms aud ammunition from this and other porta as articles of merchandise, is undoubted, and nothing can be done to prevent them. ‘The sailing of vessels of war 1s another affair alto- gether and calls for governmentui interference. If ‘he Euterpe were 4 Spanish vessel and chartered by the Spanish government to carry munitions of war from ey sil to Havana the case would wear an entirely different aspect; but being one of a regular line of American steamers, and engaged in legiti- mate trade, she cannot be libelled, seized or inter- fered with in any manner, The guns are undoubt- ediy intended for the Spanish Mosquito feet; but nevertheless their shipment is perfectly legal. it prot were given that at or even oatside the arbor the guns and ammunition would be transferred to @ Spanish war vessel 1s would be proper for the government, under the aMidavits of the Peruvian Minister, who libelled the gunboats, to stop their shipment, but not otherwise, It would seem that the Spanish agents are convinced thas their game ia up in the Aniilles, and that it would be a foolish expenditure of money tosend the guns and ammunition to Cuba while there was not the least prospect of the gunboats being allowed to deparvon their mission. These gunboats, thirty in number, are nearly ali ready for sea; the fifteen vessels at the Delamater tron’ Works especially being in a iorward siate of preparation. A few of them are ready to move out at a moment’s notice, No.1, which made a trial trip down the bay recently, is quite ready for service. A rumor prevailed last week that an attempt would be made to run out one or two of these boats, whether the government waa willing or not; but there seems to be no just grounds for supposing that the Spanish government would court certain discomfture in that manner. There are no ollicers or men on board the boats at present, aud, so far as could be ascertained, no provisions necessary for a voyage to Havana, The supervision of the flotilla was transferred by Marshal Barlow tothe Navy Department some weeks since, and Captain Harmony, of the navy, lias now charge of them at the Delamater Works. He is exceedingly watchful, and tuere is not the Jeast probapility of any attempt being made to run the gauntlet of his vigilance, The gunboats will con- tinue a standing advertisement for the Delamater Works for many a day to come. One of the HERALD reporter dropped in on Unitea States Marshal dariow yesterday for the purpose of ascertaining his views on things in general—Cuban in particular, The General said, in answer to the several questions put to him, that he considered the action of the government lu permitting the Cuba to remain in the port of Wiimington for twenty-four hours as. a virtual acknowleagment of the beilige- rent rights of the Cubans; but that it was no affair of bis, and he had no right to dictate to the govern- ment. His jurisdiction embraced New York cons part of New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetis. If any attempt was made to violate the law within that district he would be prompt in arresting the guilty parties. General Barlow iurther stated that he had heard rumors of expeditions being prepared by the Cubava at this port, but that he did not believe them. Everything was very quiet so far as he could learn. The Kuterpe might start for Havana whenever her owners liked, but the Spanish gunboats would not be allowed to depart, “BASE BALL NOTES, To-day the Atlanties and Unions, of Morrisania, will play at the Union Park grounds, Meirose.
