WASHINGTON. Rumored Resignation of Commis- sioner Delano. Statistics of Commerce and Navigation— The Controversy Over the Seizure of the Steamer Lloyd Aspinwall—De- mand Upon Spain for Indemnity. WasHinaton, March 19, 1870, ‘The Changes in the Internal Revenue Service im New York—Bailey the Appoluice of Delane. The changes in a number of the internal revenue appomtments within the past twenty-four hours bave moved high oMoial circles considerably. The excitement occasioned has been materially magni- fed by @ rumor that Commissioner Delano has also tendered his resignation. It appears ‘hat Batley was the appointee of Mr: Deiano, and supported by him. When Bailey’s mame was sent in it was at first opposed, but after the investigations made at the time, the New York Senators, though opposed to Bailey, remained pas- sive, He was consequently confirmed. Mr. Delano, about two weeks since, in speaking about Bailey, It Wt. 18 understood, endorsed him strongly, and Mentioned Bim as a competent officer, This he. repeated a week since, and seemed to take strong grounds im bis favor. ‘The rumor in regard to the Commissioner's resig- nation thas derives plausivility. The President, it is ‘“edoratood, manifested some agitation to-day, though he made no aliusion to this sub- ject. in conversation with several prominent officiais who had interviews with him. The removal of Bailey was under consideration some weeks ago; but at the time the Fullerton trial was pending, and as Bailey was an important party to the suit, it was deemed inexpedient to make any change then. The question was again brought up, and after much con- troversy the supersedtire Was made, Itis understood that the recent changes in New York ate made without reference to the Senators from New York. It appears for some time the Presi- denv has been dissatisiied with the administration of number of internal revenue officers in New York, and had made up his mind to send in new nominations. The appointment of Sharpe Tor Marshail was designed, it is stated, a8 @ compliment to Senator Fenton. Harlow having thus been superseded was provided with the Collec- torsbip of the Fourth district, and Pleasonton was transferred to the Thirty-second, in place of Bailey. Gridley secured his nomination through the infiu- ence of Marshall 0. Roberts, and being dissatisfied with him his removal was effected. Mr. Allen, for assessor of the Second, in place of Allabey, is the appointee of Mr. Delano. It appears Mr. Alien was the early law partner of Mr. Delano, and, it 1s said, 4s a relative. The Seizure of the Steamer Aspinwall— Demand Upon Spain for Indemnity. It 18 understood that the position taken by the Spanish government in relation to the seizure of the Aspinwall is that the vessel was taken under sus- picion of having$ landea arms in Cuba, Sefor Rob- erts has not as yet made any reply to the communication some weeks since. Tho Position of the United States government is that the Aspinwall was seized on the high seas and not in Cuban waters, and therefore it Was that the Spanish government nad no right to make the seizure even had the Aspinwall beer en- gaged in carrying arms, which, under the circum. stances, the United States not being at war with Spain, were not contraband articies. Tne govern- ment will hold to its original uemand for the release of the vessel and an indomnity for her detention. ‘The Printers and the Postal Télegraph. ‘At @ meeting of tne Columbia Typographical Union, held at the City Hall this evening, the following pre- amble, offered by Mr. McMurray, was adopted:— und 0. & project to establish @ postal we aytters? aod Mynereas itig@ matter that Seriously concerns ali printers, inasmucn as the pre- sentsystem of telegraphic communication being con- tolled by ® monopoly in the interesis of a few 1s 80 Managed as to prevent the estabiisnment Of any more newspapers, thus lessening the channels of information and preventing the free and untram- meliea diffusion of knowledge that should cuarac- Yerize @ republican government founded upon the be Srincinee of Iree speech and a free press; there- fore be it Resolved, That Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, earnestly requesis Congress to enact into a law the proposition to establish @ postal telegrapn system, 80 that the chanuels of telegraphic commu- nication may be open to all and that there may be no hindrance to the extension of a proiession which has done #0 much to enlighten civilization and im- prove the condition of the world.

Arrival of the United States Iron-Clad Terror — She Walks the Waters Like a Thing of Life. The United States double-turreted iron-clad moni- tor Terror arrived in this port yesterday morning from Charlestown, Boston harbor. She left on the 13th of March and went out in the Nantasket roads. From the 13th te the 15th she rode out a gale at this point and on the morning of the 15ti steamed out to sea. On the 16th she made Newport, coming to anchor there at six o’clock im the morning. She lay there duriag the 17th and letton the 18th at half-past eight in the morning, arriving in this haroor early yesterday and a little before noon dropped anchor op, the Battery. Her next port of des tination will be Fortress Monroe. ler voyage was marked by no particular incident. ‘The heaith of her crew has been excellent, and as for her sail- ing qualities the highest praise that can be awarded them is that the vessel sent to convoy her to New York was unable to keep up with her, necessitating the Terror to slow her speed in order to keep com- pany with her escort. ‘he officers speak in high terms of the courtesy and kindness they experienced im Portland, as weil from the citizens as from the o#licers of the British iron-clad Monarch. The Terror, it will be remembered, accompanied the Miantonomon to Portland on the occasion of the Peabody obsequies. Sne 18 @ vessel that rides the waves easiiy, though to a landsman’s eye she .looks every moment in danger of being swamped or sink- ing from sheer weight below the water. One of the officers, on being asked what the Monarch looked like, compared her to the Spanish irou-clad Victoria, now lying a few hundred yards away from the Ter- ror. This is the first occasion on which the Terror has visited our harbor, and the opporwunity ought to be availed of by those interested in the new order of naval architecture to take a look at her formidable proportions—her terrific power of destruction.

The morning roster of the working forces of the Brooklyn Navy Yard yesterday shows the total num- ber of men employed there to be onty 1,960. The steamer Colorado, now fitting out at the Brooklyn Navy Yard as the fag ship te the Asiatic fleet, will sail in about two weeks with Rear Ad- miral Rodgers, who will relieve Rear Admiral Rowan, now im command of the fleet. The Coio- rado will meet the Delaware, the baer flag ship. at Singapore, where the command will be turned over to Admiral Rodgers, and the Delaware will sail lor the United States. Experiments in the newly-devisea method of exploding torpedoes under water by the aid of elec- tricity were had yesterday afternoon, under the direction of Lieutenant Commander Mathews, Chief of the torpedo corps, in Wallabout bay. The tests resulted isfactorily. It 1s @ remarkable fact, and one which excites a great deal of comment in naval circles, that our squadrons in foreign waters are totally inadequate to accord proper protection to American ciuzens owing to the lack of a sufficient number of war vessels. On no _ station, however, is this want more par than in the East Indies, where there is at present but one Ameri- can man-of-war, the Delaware, and even this latter vessel is now latd up undergoing repairs. Hence the advent of the relieving feet destined to sail trom here shortly—the Colorado, Alaska and Benicia—will be hatled with joy by the Americans resident of that distant clime. But even these wiil not suilice to properly patrot the waters of the Asiatic coast. Itis the opinion of competent naval omfcers that seven or eight vessels could be most profitably employed on that station. The survey of the China seas 13 not complete—in fact it is very imperfect. Turee yessels should be, it 1s held, employed on the north side of China and two on the south; one at leas: at Japan, and one constantly looking after American interests among the isiands ‘of Borneo, Sumatra and Java. ‘Trade is opening rapidiy in this group, aud proper protection should be accorded our commerce to guard against tie treacherous Malays who infest that locality. ‘The advantages of keeping a naval representative in such places are apparent from the fact that the commodore of the war vessel has the authority to investigate any outrage which may come under his observation, and to accord @ just rebuke should in- demnity be denied whenever those who ciaim the right of protection shall appeal to the representative of their country for justice. There are no diplomatic agents in many of these places, and prompt and dig- nifled action can only be accorded an American citi- zen through the presence of an efficient cruiser of his own nationality. Miscellaneous. Lieutenant W. W. Mead has been detached from signal duty at Washington and orderea to the Color- ado as signal officer of the Asiatic fleet. jSusign Francis H. Delano has been ordered to Washington for examination for promotion. ‘The United States steamer Richmond was at Lis- bon on the 6th inst. Orders have been received at the Charlestown (Mass.) Navy Yara inreare immediately for ser- vice the steamers Shenandoah, Woreester and Palos. THE CUBAN LEAGUE, The Cuban League of the United States held another meeting last evening, at eight o'clock, at Delmonico’s, which was largely attended by dis. tinguished gentlemen from all parts of the Unton. In the absence of General McMahon, the President of the League, who left yesterday for Floriga for the purpose of stirring up the people in that section to come forward and heip the Cuban cause, General Graham occupied the chair. A delegation from the Patriot League of Cuba was present and, through its chairman, thavked the gen' n of the Cuban League for the noble stand they have taken in be- halt of the struggling Patriots of the Byer Faithful isle, ‘The secretary of the Junta was also present aad addressed the League in a few brief, But elo- quent remarks. General Haines, chairman of the Finance Com- mittee, reported the finances of the League to be ma very flourishing condition. He also stated that each member of the commttiee iad contributed twenty-five dollars to the League. On bebalf of the Committee on Public roeenee Ms. Dougias tg Uo reported progress, He sald that the committee had labored hard and earnestly to make the proposed meeting @ grand success, aud from the great interest very many of the best mon of the country had taken in it he was confident that it would be all thas could be desired. ‘The Chair appointed, upon motion of Mr. Taylor, @ committee of six to visit the Cuban Junta and the Patriot League of Cuba, also appointed a com- mittee ol five to prepare and have printed certttt- cates of membership, which are to voluntarily taken by the members at five dollars each, after which the league adjourned, to méet again next Thuraday eveniug. BAILEY, THE GREAT WHISKEY RAIDER. The Ex-Collector of the’ Thirty-Seeond District Still Missing, with No Clue to His Whereahouts. Official Overhauling of His Papers and Effects at His Cedar Street Office and the Results— His Private and Public Career as Viewed from Different Standpoints—The Story of Alleged Defaleations as Given at the United States District Attor. ney’s Office—A Long Story, with a Brief and Com- prehensive Moral, Our city, which 1s always on the qui vive for any- thing in the shape of an excitement (and there has been a painful dearth for some time past of any- thing in the sensational line), had a good and fertile subject for speculative comment in the announce- ment in yesterday’s HERALD of the sudden disap- pearance of Mr. Bailey, whilom Collector of Internal Revenue of the Thirty-second district. The same impenetrable vell of mys- tery still overshadows his movements. No new Hight nas been shed upon the case, Still undis- Pelled are the overshadowing clouds of darkness and doubt in which tis unexplained departure from the busy and exciting scenes that eo lately knew him, bat know him no more, is involved. As very natu- rally might be looked for under the circumstances & variety of conflicting ramors are afloat, Some assert that the prolonged cerebral excitement conse- quent upon his prosecution of the liquor mérchanta—the victims of his grand wholesale raid some two months ago—and utter fatlure to make out a single case thus far against any of those arraigned for examination in the United States Commissioners’ Court here turned his brata, and that, bereftof reason, he nas left the city, an trres- ponsible and unconscious wanderer he knows not where. Others allege that the straw that broke the camel's back—the final fatal pressure upon his brain and nervous torces, destroying his mental equilibrium —was his removal from office. Stil others insist that nervous pressure and mental disquietude have nothing todo with his absence. They say he is a defaulter to a large amount, and has fled the ‘elly to escape the mortification of an exposure of his malfeasance. In opposition to thts 1t 1s as dis- tinctly and positively proclaimed that his accounts are perfectly exact and correct. Such, briefly, are the counter stories and statements im active circulation, We give below these diverse ru- mors, elongated into somewhat specific detail, with @ multiplicity of other statements relating to his public and private career of interesting character, and which, if failing to make up au adorning narfa- tive, will at least point out many unmistakable morals. THE THIRTY-SECOND DISTRICT REVENUE OFFICE. At no time since the passage of the Internal Reve- nue act has such ascene of bustling excitement pre- sented itself at the ofice of tie Thirty-second dis- trict, im Cedar street, a3 yesterday. A preternatu- rally busy alr pervaded the score and more of clerks perched. upon their high siools in front of their high desks within the high enclosure of the main office. liuge folios were being turned over with unwonted rapidity, piles or papers were examined with amazing quickness, money received through the various pigeon-hole interstices of the enclosure in payment of taxes was counted with lightning-like speed, pens moved with tucredible ceierity. Dickens’ cireumlocutton office in a galvanic spasm could not be more active. It is true it hada little the look of being put on, @ little appearance of unrealness—a general clerical bid, possibly, for. retaining their positions under the incoming regime, buc tt was activity still—activity ceaseless and un- wearying. Tne deputies who centred about the less Spacious apartment further dowa, and who, from the intervening railing separating them trom the outer world being of diminutive height, had less the appearance of caged beasts on exiibition, saun- tered about wita their haads in their pockets as if il atease, The puffs from their fragrant Havanas, and their exceedingly good ciothes and bejewelled persone did not serve to dispel the idea, They were Jeagued with questions, and frequently werejsum- monea into what lately was ° r MK. BAILEY’S TATE PRIVATE OFFICE, where centred the chief and absorbing excttement of the day. This office is in the rear of tne build- ‘ng and on the first floor of course, with the other otices, It is small, neatly carpeted, the wall a delicate green color, and its appoimtments includ- ing 4 large tron safe of @ highly ornamented style of architecture of the first order. Speaking of order, it 18 probable that this firat law of nature prevailed there when Mr. Batley was its controlling occupant; but at the time we refer to, which was about noon yesterday, things had very much the appearance of confusion worse confounded. ‘his disorder arose from an overhauling, then in active progress, of Mr. Bailey’s papers and effects, such as he had left be- biod him. The PARTIES CONDUCTING THE BXAMINATION were Soiicitor Banfeld, of the Treasury Depart- ment; Colonel Whitely, cluef of the Secret Service Bureau; Deputy Commissioner Corneil, who ar- rived in the city yesterday morning, having been sent from Washington specially to aid the others in their investigations, and Supervisor Dutcher, the last acting in his capadiy a8 internal revenue officer, not as one of the Supervisors of the city and county of New York. These gen- temen, who meanwhile were surrounded with @ somewhat appalling corps of subordinates, at feast im Dumbers, went Oa witi their work of exa- mination with @ patience of research and vigilance of inquisitorial labor highly complimentary to per- sons holding government positions, to whom the old Latin motto, Labor est voluptas, is never by any means supposed to be applicable, * WHAT THEY FOUND. It was not much that was found; certainly not march of immediate pecuniary value. Firstly, there was no gold; secondly, there was no silver, and tmirdly, there were five checks, but all Jor small amounts, one for $115 being the largest. “To whom do these belong?’ asked Colonel Whitely, fishing ont the checks from one of the pigeon holes of Mr. Bailey's private desk. “To whom are they made payaple /”’ inquired an- other of the examining osictals. “To Collector Baidey.” answered Colonel Whitely. “Endorsed by him ¥? ‘No, sir.?? “Then | reckon they belong to the government,” said another of the oficials. “{ reckon they do any way,”’ exclaimed the fourth, and they were accordingly turned over a3 part and parcel ef government assets. Stowed away in another pigeon hole were the complaints and papers in the late liquor seizure cases. It took @ voluminous envelope to hold them. It was thought Solicitor Banfield would be the best costodian of these legal documents, and they were therefore placed in hig charge. It would be an un- ending task to follow on with the detatls of the ex- amination. There were ail sorts of papers, orders, receipts and what not, which, as fast as could be, were properly separated and made into dis- tanct parcels. The examination was quite cursory and revealed nothing important, certainly nothing tend- ing to implicate Mr. Bailey in any frauds upon the government. Upon tns latter point the examiners were unprepared at the close of their labors yester- day to express any positive opinion, It is not known yet what @ more extended and thorough search may reveal, bué there are many who are explicit, loud and earnest in DEFENDING MR. BAILEY, and particularly his deputies and others lately serv- ing under him. “Mr. Bailey is no defaulter,” said one of his depu- ties, in response to Inquiries on tuts point. ‘He 18 ag honest as the day is 1ong—as true as steel.” “But he may have talien a victim to temptation,” pursued the Inquiring gentleman. “Not @ bit of it,” insisted the deputy. ‘nink of the chances he had to line his pockets,’? continued the interrogator. “Not tue shadow of a chance,” spoke up sharply the deputy. ‘tNo money passed through his hands. Out of the $100,000 that sometimes 18 paid in here in & day he never touched a cent.” “But Pim told bis oMctal and private checks were analy and disreputably mixed up." “No such thing.’ ve been told so on most positive authority.” am the best authority on that point. He kept his official account the National Bank of Com- merce and bis private account with the Merchants’ National Bank, and there coulda be no mixing of checks.” “Let that pass. He lived high, didn’t he ?”” “No higher than any man can alford to live on 5,000 a year.’? “Didn't he drive a fast team in Central Park 9 “No, sir.” “Gamble ?? 0, wir.?? rink \ octal glass of wine oniy.”’ low about fast women 1)? “A purer and more domestic man does not live.” WHY MR. BAILEY FLED. Another deputy unfolded to anothor inquisitive gentleman the reason inducing the ex-Coliector to vacate the Sat, “It 19 easily, accounted for,” summed up this deputy. “Mr. Bailey 18 & tnan of unflagging energy. His uneeasing efforts to point out frauds and Lis late fruitless efforts to insure the conviction of pur- vemporar; i he fied the city.” se anes, ANOTHER VIEW OF THE FLIGHT. Jn the anteroom where the: examimation was going on, in the room set apart for the deputies, in the passage way, On the sceps and out in the street in front were groups discussing Mr. Balley’s ouse. “T koow all about this Bailey tatter,” said one of @ group Outside, “and ethers know ali about i: —TRIPLE ere til no mystery to meand {8 is no mystery to “So you can solve the riddle?” remarked one of the crowd, “The easiest thing in the world.” “Out with it,” exclaimed the bystanders, “Mr. Bailey isa large defauiter to the govern- ment,” explained this gentleman. ‘He cheated the ‘overnment when he Was coliector of the Fourth istrict, He saw that there must be an examina- fon of his affairs then, and it has frightened him into running away, Another thing frighten- ing him into fight is the fact that he owes large sums of borrowed money. I know of his owing $30,000 borrowed money myself. He has lived very high; drives one of the fastest horses that ever stepped foot over Harlem iane.”” “But acne horses were given him,” interrupted onsyess but iy thétl as bribes. Foi “Yes; but how? He took one he paid Roneany $100, and the other was given a 44 fifth him by into whose hands he threw his “But how do y@& know he is a defaulter?” asked another, know that he bad checks which should have fone to the government passed to his private ac- count and he maae no report of them as required by law. In hus firet great raid in 1867 he went out of his district to make arrests and seizures, He made no charges agaiust tue parues arrested and forcibly compelled settlements. in his action of selgure against 8. W. Pike & Co., he compelled & settlement by the payment of $75,000 by Pike & Co., and further, although unis was one seizure and of one lot of goods and at one place, he divided tt vo three Cases, 80 as to get (hree moieties of $15,000 and cheat the government out of $10,000. He made his settlements through his Jawyers, one of whom has gone t> Europe and is there now living sumptu- ously and travelling about like a nabob.”? “Where Batley bas gone to join him, probably,” interrupted one of the group. “Unquestionably,” continued the bold expositor of Mr. Balley’s career, “and he has gone away with @ level head, too.” “So you don’i believe he is crazy?’ still another interrupted, “lt [ had all the money he has got 1 wouidn’t mind being just 2s crazy,” Was the response; “though T would mind geiting it 10 the same way. He is not crazy; he 1# only u fraud. I could tell scores of cases of his cheating.” It would tii! columns to tell the incidents which were given. “Confirmation strong as holy writ,” said one, in conclusion, and this seemed to be the general ‘im- pression of the listeners afier the gentieman had linished his recital. WHAT THE LIQUOR MERCHANTS SAY. ‘The liquor merchants most indignantly repudiate the idea of their having paid dir. Bailey to leave the city, They had won every case of his prosecution gud 1% was certam that they would win all the ochers. He was emphatically a dead lion. it was Known in this city that he waa to be removed, and aa soon #§ the news reached him he left, They ascribe as the reason of his leaving a fear vo face the Civil suits that would be brought agatast him. “Judge Fullerton would have him sent to the State prison in less than three mouths,” said a Uquor mer Chant with empiasis. ‘*Taik about bis being crazy: he would be crazy pot to leave the city. He is just the man we want here. There are dictectives now after him in the employ of the liquor merchants, and I will give $1,009 jor one to any one finding him and securing his return to the city, and that although whiskey has gone up two per cent stace his Might. ? If our space permitted 1¢ would be interesting to continue our quotations irom tins liquor merchant. He produced vouchers of alleged iniamy and cor- ruption of the most startling character.

He said that wien the vote on the confirmation o: Batley 11 the Senate was about to be taken Horace Greeley made is appearance in Washington to oppose it. Bailey met Mr. Greeley at the depot, aad at once invited him to a sumptuous breaklast, which he followed up m doe time with @ magnificent dinner, Greeley’s asperities were sofiened Juto ‘he most yentie ameni- ues, He went into one of the committee rooms of the Senate, sen for each Senator separately, and begged tueir votes for alley, and thus he was con- firmed, aud the remembrance of this breaklast and dinner, revived periodically by breaktasts aud din- bers since, has kept Mr. Greeley as his stanch triead ever since—at least, thus sald one tiquor mercaant, Auother story was of A SHARP DEPUTY, towbom Mr, Bailey, according to the statement, had given Ms check for $1,100 4 day or two beiore his fignt, This deputy weat to the bank, presented the check aud was told that Mr, Batley had oaly $700 in banks to his account. The deputy went out, Skirmished about, raised $400, had 1v deposited to Bailey’s credit and thus got the $700 out of bank. AT THE DISTRICL ATTORNEY'S OFFIOR, ‘The detatis of the attempt by the Unite States District Attorney ex-Judge Pierrepont, to secure an explanation by Mr, Bailey of the g:ounds of hisaction @gainst the liquor merchants sul to be tried, were given in yesterday's HERALD, and how thus was de- veloped the fact of bis flight.

LAST SEEN OF BAILBY. The general siatement, as given in the papers, has been that Bailey left the city on last Monday. He was seen here as late as Wednesday. Some are of the opinion that he is con- cealed in the city, put this opinion is very littte credited. All the European steamers leaving yesterday were Closely watcied in hopes of ovtaining some clue to bim, and anything iooking like an augmpt at aisguise was rigily investigated, but noue of the disguises revealed Mr. Bailey. Hinis Of suicide are thrown out, but no one pays any at- tention to taem. 113 SUCCESSOR. It was stated late yesterday aitcrnoon that all the deputies and clerks lately serving under Mr. Bailey had been suspended, and that a new set of tempo- rary neues aud cierks will be put on duty to-mor- row. It i understood that General Picas- anton, the newly appointed successor of Mr. Eailey, will not assume charge of the office unul alter his confirmation, of which no doubt is expressed. Large numbers congravulated him yes- terday on bis appointment, and his choice for the position is said to find very general favor in the dis- trict, while public opinion as to the removal of Bailey aii runs one way. BIT OF BIOGRAPHY. A ciosing biographical paragraph of the missing ex-collector will not be ill-timed on the heels of the avove lengthened narrative. He was born at Hopxinsvilie, N. H., in 1832, and ie now in his tairty-elgnth year. In is6l ue was appointed stationary clerk in Washington. Two years laver he was appointed special agent of the ‘Treasary Departinent in this city, afd in 1866 was given the position of Collector of the Fourth Inter- nal Revenue district in this city, which postition he heid vatil last May, on his appointment of Collector of the Thirty-second district.

At eight o’clock last evening detective Farley, of the Central Police Oice, entered the building, having im charge @ gentioman heavily handenffed, who was hurridly conveyed to the ceils without arraignment betore Captain Kelso or Inspector Dilks who was on duty, A few moments after the prisoner was locked up Farley, who may be a good detective under certain circumstances, ordered the cierk at the aesk to “Keep the arrest from the reporters,” and then leit for other felds of operation, On Broadway the report was current thai Fariey’s prisoner was no other person than Collector Bailey, but it ts ques- tionable whether Philip Farley has suMicient courage to arrest an United States ofticial. Detective Moore and laspector Dilks state that the prisoner arrested by Farley had stolen a ‘tub of butter? two weeks ago, and this 13 all that could be obtained from that quarter. It is very improbable that Mr. Bailey is in the custody of the police, who are in the habit of lying when occasion requires, The News of Bailey’s Disappearance in Washington, WASHINGTON, March 19, 1870, The report received here of the disappearance of Coilector Bailey, of New York, created some excitement in the Treasury circles, Intima- tions were received yesterday by Acting Commissioner Dougiass that Mr. Balley had disap- ed, but no particulars reached the office here. ir.

The Fields-Ainsworth Imbyoglio—The Exzcite- ment Still Unabated—Patent Medicines—Light Bread—The Williamsburg Ferries— An Underground Railroad in Long Island— That Warehousing Bill Again. ALBANY, March 19, 1870, The allabsorbing topic of conversation here to- day is in regard to the unprecedented and extracr- dinary attack made yesterday by Mr. Fields upon Mr. Ainsworth, of Saratoga. The general feeling is intensely bitter against Mr. Fields, and his previous history 1s being overhauled and commented on tn anything but measured terms. Mr. Ainsworth ap- peared in his place this morning, looking some- what worried, but words of sympathy and nods of approving recognition were given him from all parts of the Chamber. The air was full of ominous sound &, and several members were heard to say that If A MOTION TO EXPEL MR. FIELDS FROM THE HOUSE had been made yesterday it would have been adopted by an almost unanimous vote, while others proclaim each one that if he were the only one to vote on such ® motion he would give a decided amMfirmative. It is stated positively that Fields was goaded into acting in the manner in which he did by @ seif-constituted and unprincipled censor and king alcohol; that the former sat by his side prompting him to perform tne disgraceful part which he es sayed, and that the latter clouded his brain. The Assembly to-day adopted two motions wiich give SEVERE “BACK SLAPS” AT FIELDS Tn regard to the act repealing an act in relation to the Fly road in Flushing, Mr. Pearsall, from Queens, moved to take the bul from the Judiciary Commuttee (of which Mr, Pieids was chairman), and to which committee he said it had been referred on a motion made by Mr. Fields after the bill passed the Committee of the Whole, for the purpose of coercing Pearsall) to vove in favor of some pet of his (Mr. Fields’), Jed Mr. Pearsa!! out of order » latter statement, it nad gone out and was caught on the fly by the members, and the motion recalling the bull from the commit: tee Was adopted by an aimost unanimous vote, This Was notall, for a motion was made by Mr. Bamler, of Erie, to have THE VOTE ON THE 126TH STREET RAILROAD RECON- SIDERED, Mr. Bamler, however, Moved that the motion to reconsider be laid on the tabie. When the motion was made Colonel Murphy asked if the motion was intended as a reprimand to Mr. Fieids or a3 a sight on Senator Genet, as on the answer would depend his vote. Mr. Bamler said it was merely to give members a chance, a8 many seemed to think that they had been whipped into voting for the bi!, The question was then put and the motion unanimously adopted, most of the members regarding it as @ reprimand to Mr. Fields, raed @ the eva sive answer of Mr, ‘Bamtoy, Snottly after tae House bad administered these doses Mr. Allaben, of Erie, introduced a bill In relation to 80-CALLED PATENT MEDICINES, which provides for the appointment of five physi- cians or chemists as commissioners to examine all the so-called patent medicines, and to charge a fee of two and a bail per cent of the manufacturing cost of the articles examined. The commissioners are to be appointed by the Governor and Senate. aud if ihe bill Bhonid pass it will give opportunity for some of the brislant disciples of Esculapias to make a few dollars extra.
