Tho Trade in Cadetships—The House Dis- graces Itselfi—Butler, of Tennessee, Censured, but Not Expelled—The President’s Views of the St. Domingo Treaty. Wasiincton, March 17, 1870. The Advoree Report en the Dominican et # . sincere effort to exact strict Justice upon the ac- cused. These two facts, taken together, have led Many people to the conclusion that the Miltary Com- Mittee dia not desire Mr. Butler's expulsion at all, and thay {ts members were accessories to @ plot to ingure his escape. Whether this conclusion be cor- rect or not, itis evident that the feeling against the committee 1s very strong, and that Logan himself, who was so vebement and denunciatory in Whitte- more’ case, comes tn for @ large share of the abuse, #o that he bas not come off much better than tf he had prosecuted Butier with the same energy and vim displayed by him in the Whittemore case. The strong vote in favor of Butler’s expulsion—102 yeas to 68 nays—and the subsequent unanimous vote of censure, are regarded as very little less honorable to the Tennessee member than if he bad been kicked | out of Congress by the constitutional two-thirds, Only two democratic members voted against expul- sion—Brooks, of New York, and Axtell, of California. Treaty—Tho President Working to Secure | Wny Brooks behaved so leniently is a mystery, and the Ratification. Since the fact has become known that the report of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on the Dominican annexation treaty 1s of an adverse some of the guesses are not particularly favorable to the New York member. At the conclusion of the vote on expulsion the Rev. Mr. Butler, Chaplain of the House, and Congressman Sypher, of Louisiana, Bature, and particularly by such a decided disparity | went over to Tennessee Butler and congratulated as two yeas against five nays, there has been con- siderable anxiety manifested by the friends of the Measure, The question is one in which the Execu- tive displays a special interest.

Mr. Ferry agreed to a reference of the resolution to the Committee on Foreign Relations, with the understanding that they report early next week. Mr. Sumner promised that tke ques- tion should be taken up in on Tuesday next, ‘The discussion terminated for the present. The resolution had the Dominican treaty in view and was a hostile measure, ‘This afternoon the President visited the Capito! and received a number of Senators. Tne ovject of nis Visit was to converse with them on the subject of the Dominican treaty and to urge its ratification. The President, in speaking on the subject, said that the Dominican peopie had postponed action for two months, awaiting the initiatory steps of this govern- ment, and now they nad expressed their approba- tion in a unanimous vote, Although the Dominican portion of the island was double that of the section known as Hayti tne latter had a vastly superior population in numbers. The Dominican people had taken a step, notwithstandiag their weakness, placing reliance upon the United States government to consummate tne negotiations. Saould the United States fall to carry out its parc the island would be- come a prey to invasion and devastation from Hayu. He thought the island a valuabie and a necessary acquisition; that if the Monroe doctrine meant that foreign governments should not be allowed to establish themselves on this hemisphere it was the auty of this government to adopt a policy in regard to the petty Independencies; otherwise we have no right in justice or humanity to prevent England or France from stepping in and taking the island of St. Domingo or any otner island, It ts well Known that France has always had an eye upon Dominica, and it may be set down as certain if the the annexation be not consummated England or France will have the island, and wil! have a perfect right to it. The President spoke very freely on the Ch Justice subject to all the Senators he met. It ts understood | orange Jacobs, that in the Senate the treaty will be supported prin- cipally by Morton, Conkling, Harlan, Carpenter, Cole, Pomeroy, Abbott, Stewart, Warner and Wil- liams. It is understood that Cameron, who voted against the treaty in committee, will vote in favor of at im the Senate. Schurz, whoalso voted against the treaty, it is said has received a nunrber the condition of thg Slacks, He praised the present government Of che United States for incorporating the great principles of right, equality and justice in 1t4 findamental law, thus “‘crowntng the soctal edi- committeg { fice go long dreamed of by philosophers.” He closed with an appeal to the committee to impart instruction to the blacks of America, acting in con- cert and sparing no sacrifice to attain that end, Instruction was the one thing they lacked to become one of the most important elements in the wealth and power of the country. Meteorological Observations. It was stated yesterday that the Chief Signal OM- cer of the army is charged, subject to the direction of the Secretary of War, with the special duties of the observation and giving notice, by telegraph and signal, of the approach and force of storms, under the provistons of the jomt resolution of Congress authorizing the Secretary of War to provide for the taking of meteorological observations at the military stations and other pvints in the interior of the Con- tinent, and for giving notice on the Northern lakes and seaboard of the approach and force of storms. It may be stated, tn the language of the order, that the undertaking thus Imposed upon the Secretary of War Is for the benefit of the commerce of the United States, It 1s therefore expected that all command- ing oficers will afford every facility for its success- Jul discharge, and all scientific establishments, com- mercial associations and others are requested to ald by their co-operation in its accomplishment, Nominations Confirmed. ‘The Senate, in executive session, conirmed the following nomination: Conauls.—Aimon A.

A two-thirds vote will be required in order to secure ratification. Although it would be impossible to staie definitely how the question stands at this early moment, it 1s certainly more favorable to success than was at firstexpected. The vote will be close. and twelve New England Senators to go against the treaty in a full Senate, there will stii) be suMicient to assure success. ~ The Cuban Question=Secretary Robéagn Be- fore the House Foreign Affairs Commitisy: Pacific Mail Steamship Subsidy. The Senate Committee on Post OMces and Post Roads met to-day and resumed the consideration of the blll to increase the subsidy to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The commitsee réached no conclusion. Personul, Ex-Represenentive Thomas E. Stewart, heading a large and influentiat delegation of New Yorkers, is at the Arlington House. Among the number is Estimating eleven democrats | George C, Bennett, chairman of the Kings County Republican Committee. One of their objects is the removal of the democratic employés irom the Brooklyn Navy Yara, and with this purpose they “interviewed” the jovial Robeson to-day. John V, Gridley, of New York, arrived here to- Secretary Robeson enlightened the Foreign Affalts | 4ay- Committee of the House to-day upon the relative Strength x ie naval forces of the United States and Spain in Cul vaters. Lowe, one of the sensation Bohemians, argued, from the presence of the Secre- tary of the Navy in the Foreign Affairs Committee room, that the commitice had decided to report a resolution directing the President to recognize the Cupans as belligerents and were preparing for any naval exigency that might arise, The truth is, how- ever, that the Secretary was merely questioned as to the number of ships and guns we have on the West India station and their ability to protect Amertcan interests in that quarter, and also concerning the prospects, so far as he knew, of the insurgents, ‘There was nothing new or linporiant elicitea and the committee again adjourned without taking action op ube matter, ‘The Fonding Bill. ¢ The Committee of Ways and Means at their meet- ing to-day took up the Funding bull and proceeded to consider ft, with a view to waking certain amend- ments before reporting it to the House, By tnyita- tion of the committee Secreiary Boutwell appeared to consult a8 to the proposed changes to be made in the bill. It 1s understood that the Secretary advo- caved the insertion of that part of the original bill stricken out by the Senate which provided for tue payment of the interest on the bouds abroad. The reasons he gave for this were similar to the ar ments advanced in the Senate by those who opposed the striking out of that part of the bill. He also gave it as his opinion that one per cent would not be too much to allow for the expenses necessary to ex change the bonds. The committes did nothing but hear the Secretary's statement. They wili hold a special meeting on Saturday to decide upon the pro: posed amendments, and tae bili will be repor to next week, of Cadetships—Butler, of see, Censured. + The action of the House to-day in refusing to expel uuler, while at the same time him deserving of cen: for lmprope one of his cadetship appointments, isnot regarded here asa very brilliant display of legislative vir consistency. Mr. Butler bas been @ Me tunate than thesaintly Whittemore, py agement he obtained delays ana occup! inte mediate time in working upon the icelings of memes bers, He has many strong friends in the Hous Tenaes= and this fact, together with his own energy and perseverance, enabled him to secu more than one-thira voie against fis expulsion. This ‘was weil understood last nigit, and bence, when the matter came before the touse to-day and re. sulted in a mere vote of censure, very few | were in the least bit surprised. Indeed, the e proceeding bore very strongly the look ot a p) arranged game. Vor instance, Logan declined two @ maké a speccn against Putler, though the test!mony against him seemed quite as strong as that which drove Whittemore to anticipate a vote of censure by timely'resignation. Logan's excuse was, that for Coing his duty tn W hittemore's case he was rewarded with abuse from his party frieuds, and that now he proposed to let the House take the wh responsi- bility. He did not feei cisposed to endure mnother dose of abnse lixe that which was showered upon him by Wnittemore’s champions.

Mr. Logan, (rep.) of Mil, chairman of the com- mittee, explained how it was that each reyolutton ‘was signed by four members. ‘he resolution con- demning Mr. Butler had received a majority vote in ‘the committee, but when the ‘resolution came to be signed there were some members gbsent. The re- lution of expt gion Was really @ minority report. also sald thé committee had agreed to have the testimony read, and to leave the question, with- out argument, to the Goctayen. 2 sae HOTS, ‘The testimony was ther@Upod read:— General A. Shoeppe testifed to having, throngh Gen. Este, procured the appointment of Augustus C. Tyier from Mr. utler, and to having paid General Este 2,900 for it, which, he understood, was to go to Tennessee to bo used for election: ee: PiGeneral Daniel Tyler testifed to having paid the money for sene: ante! ir avi vas ne the bad be his son's appointment, and thi en told by Mr. Cooper, President Johnson's private secretary, that such ap- ointments were offered in Washington for money, aud by other friends, and that the thing was not uncommon. General Gearge P. Este testified that the negotiations with Mr, Butler had been made through him, and that he had paid about $1,000 to Mr. Butler for it. He conld not say how much he (General Este) had received, That was all the ex- perience he bad bad in that line of ‘business. He had not made any Gon gerne to pay Mr. Butler until after the ap- ointment ha@ been agreed on. It was upon his (General uste’s) own motion that he had suggested to Mr. Butler tne propriety of his permitting him to give him a certain’ sum of money, and there hapa, so Jk ag to the ’ proposed cant Rie thought that Mr. Butler mentioned the’ fact fe, tt ad condi- Were two papera in kis district that were in ave tion and that npport. Mr. Butler had said to him » General, T do not know; I cannot take this for myself.” He bad never before the appointment Proposed to Mr. Buller to pay him anything for it. | He him- self had felt no personal interest in the Tennessee press or canvass, and did not what Mr. Butler did with the money, but Mr. Butler had distinctly atated to him that he would not receive it for himself, Witnesses for the defence teatified as follows :—Samuel Milligan, of Tennessee, bad recelved an appointment to the al Academy for One of his sons from Mr. Butler; had never given him anything for it except thanks. | He knew of Mr. Butler's desire to appoint a boy from his own district to West Point, but there was no boy qualified, Mr. Butler's own statement beiore the committee was that he had made fruitless efforts to find in his district a qualified boy for the Military Academy, He had talked with General Schofield as to the legality of appointing young Tyler, and Ge if nin that '& reaidence could be acquired in a very short time uch had been the government; that the great object was to fill the school with sprightly boys, who would do honor to the country, and that the appolntinent of young Tyler would be very gratifying to him. He had, therefore, made the appointment. Subse- quently General Este calléd at his room and insisted on his taking money, which ‘he at first declined to do. Colonel Spence, of Tennessee, who was in the room at the time, in- terposed and said “You have got to take St, because we are going to have a hard time im our election there, and ‘ou know that a few of us hav \pport our newspapers.” He (Spence) said that he would take the money and use it in jection. General Este took one hundred dol- lars himself and left nine hundred doilars on his (Mr. But. ler's) table. Of that sum he had contributed five hundred dollars to establish a paper in the interest of General Stokes; satustied n debt of two hundred and eighty dol 4, & republican paper published in East Tennessee, and contributed one hundred dollars to the Union Flag, repubil- can paper at Jonesboro, East Tennessee, and twenty dollars for printing election tlekets, He had never appropriated ‘one cent of ft to his own use. " General Schotield was not able to recall any conversation with Mr. Butler on the gubject of cadets, though it was barely possible that bi tainly did not recommend him to appoint n, for he did not know until recently that soa had ever applied for an appointment or got one, or, in- deed, that General Tyler had s son. The reading of the testimony being completed, the previous question was seconded and the vote was taken on tae resolation for expulsion. The vote was taken by yeas and nays, An unusual stillness pre- vailed in the House, aud members answered to thelr names in a low tone.

For some time there have been rumors that the present authorities tn office by military appointment intended resisting any movement to disposses them till their successors were elected by the people, as they held the Enabling act declaring the offices vacant to be unconstitutional.
