aad WASHINGTON. President Grant on Removal of Political Disabilities. Increasing the Radical Majerity In the: House—Another Democratic Member Ousted—Washburn’s Postal Tele- graph Bill Agreed Upon. WASHINGTON, April 13, 1870. Views ou tho Removal of Disubilitics. T stated in my despatches last night that the Prest- @ont aid not intend, for the present at leust, to send ‘@ message to Congress recommending the gencral .Femoval of disabitities. I am able to-night to con+ ‘firm that statement on the very highest authority— {Shatof the Prosident himself. Ju the course of a brief conversation with the President tnis morning Yasked Dim whether he intended, as reported sev- @ral mes lately, to issue an amuesty proclamation er to send a special message to Congress recom- mending the removal of disabilities imposed by the fourteenth amendment? He smilea good-humor- edly and anawered;— “No, sir; I don’tintend to issue an amnesty pro- ‘clamation at ail, My predecessor, Presideyt John- won, exhausted that pretty thoroughly “(smiling); Dut it ts quite trae that 1 did some time ago contem- Plate sending to Conuress a special mo-sage recom- mending the removal of ali disabilities. 1 thought ‘Uhat @ Gtting occasion for a message of the kind ‘would be the restoration of ‘Texas and the other ‘States to the Union, believing that it would have the ‘effect to promote general good feeling and harmony ‘Wroughout the South; but since then there have been #0 many complaints about outrages in the Bouth and requesis for miliary interposition in ‘seme Of the States—like Tennessee and North Caro- Wna—that I have reconsiderea my resolution. 1 have come to the conclusion that so long as the state ‘of society in those districts ts such as to call for miil- ‘ary ald to preserve order it would be useless to re- commend to Congress the removat of disabilities. For the present, therefore, I cannot send that mes- Baye to Congress.” ( asked the President if it was true that he haa bad # message of the kind proposed ready to send to Congress, He replied, ‘Yes, sir,” and went on to #late that the document had been all ready, out its presentation was abandoned for the reasons already stated, 1am informed that the President’s message Was a brief but statesmanlike docyment, urging Congress to remove by proper enactment all disa- bilzties Imposed by ine fourteenth amendment, under one simple condition, to wit:—The appearance ofall ‘“pplicants In open court and announcement of their desire. It will be seen by tus that the Gisorderly classes of the South, who have yevently given rise toso much cause of complaint, have a great deal to answer for. Had they kept ‘uiet and behaved themselves with ordinary decency aud reapevt for law by this time the whole South Might have been m the enjoyment of ail the rights and privileges possessed before the rebellion. President Grant, rising above party demands, and consulting only the kindness of his heart and a Uroad, benevolent statesmanship, would have swept All disabilities out of existence had the unrepentant rebels restrained themselves within proper bounds. Ivig probable, however, that the day 1s not far dis- tant when the President will be able with impunity ‘¥o gratify his noble impulse. Grand Jubilee of the Washington Afrieans—_ Breaking Through the Barviors of Vaste— A TwoeHlorse Act by Mayor Bowen. ‘The Bowen negroes had a jubilation two-day over the ratilication of the fiftcenth amendment. it was ‘one of those odd, grotesque parades which can only be seen in Washington on an occasion when whe darkeys turn out to celebrate some event in ‘which they are interested, The split in the radical party here, which prevails among blacks as well as the whites, had the effect of maxing them turn out Father siim, Im order to make the lino atroten out as much a8 possible, and to suppiy the absence of the anti-Bowen darkeys, the procession was mar- shatied in Indian file. “Bowen, who is anxious for Je-election, did his best to make @ grand dis- Play. The entire Fire Department was ordered out, the bella were rung and alithe corporation em- ployés had @ grand holiday. First of all came a detachment of police, mostly whites, but not with- out @ mixture of darke}s. There was a general mixing np of white and black bands, and the ques- tion of equality was settled, so far ay tt could ve seted by a procession. Some of the negroes evinced thelr joy by dehberately stoppimg in the line of procession and indulging in an old fashioned Vir- yinia breakdown; others threw their hats 1 the air, elapped their hands and shouted “Glory, hatiejuah 4 vigorous style. Among the mottoes on tie bane hers were, ‘We Trust in God and Belleve in Grant’? “By Industry We Thrive,’ “Bowen and Liberty,” Death to All Renegade Republicans, White and Diack.” A feature of the procession was twoor three wagon loads of negro girls dressed in white, with flags’ in their: hands, repfesenting the several Siates, There was a wagon coniaining an admixture of the races—negroes, Indians, Ubina- men and whites—represcntatives of the breaking @owh of the old wall of partition and the general progress of events. In rear of the procession was a Hine of old carts drawn by broken down niules used of the corporation work. Each cart had a load of Jawy negroes who hang around the City Hail and yaw thew rations from tie soup bonses, Mayor Bowen brought up the rear, mounted upon two horses, one black and the other white, emblematic of bis sympathy and love for both races, He was Manked on each side by a stalwart Airican mounted @® a white horse, ‘The procession passed the White Bouse and was reviewed by the President, Secve- tary Boutwell and Collector Grinnell, On Friday night the anti-Bowen negroes will hava a@torchiight procession. The Pacific Submarine Telegraph Company A Laud Subsidy Wanted, The memorial of Cyrus W.

Ann MARANA ancl A Garroter Summarily Dealt With—Arraigned, Ccnvicted and Sentenced Within Thirty- six Hourts—A Wholesome Warn- ing—Fifteen Years with Hard Labor at Sing Sing. The case of the People against John Brennan was yesterday brought up im the Court of General Ses- sions before Gunning 8. Bedfora, Jr. Tne defendant was indicted for robbery in the first degree, The particuiars of the ‘case were published at length in the HERALD. It will be remembered that on last jast Monday night Brennan attackea Tnomas B. Marsh, a respectavle old resident of this city, in Greene street aud stole a gold watch and chain valued at $120. The prisoner was pursued and arrested, having the waich im his possession. As jonas the Grand Jury brought in the indictment Brennan was arraigned, and after consulting with his counsel, deemed it prudent to admit his guilt. Ue stated to the Court that he was tntoxicated at the time and that he bad never been ina court of justice vefore. Assistant District Attorney Fellows, in moving for Judginent, said that Brennan attacked a respectablo eitizen and choked hin unill he was powerless aud took away lus watch. THR SENTENCY. Judge Bedford asked him if he had ever been in the State Prison, to which Brennan reviied in «he negative. ‘it 13 one of the great mistakes of the age that you were not thero five years ago,” re- jomed bis Honor. ‘This ts one of the worst cases of robbery ever commitred in this city. A respectable gentleman is watting fora car, at three o'clock in the morning, and you, ruMan-like, came up to bim and assaulted hin until he was almost insensibie. You took his watch from him, and when you were arrested, not only it, but your hands were covered with blood. I shall send you to the State Prison for fifteen years and six months, at hard labor.” A DESPERADO CAUGHT AT LAST. An officer of the court conveyed Brennan beck to prison, and as they walked along tis desperado froin the City of Brotherly Love developed his cha- racter by stating, with an oath, that he had commit- teu four similar robberies, but had been caugit at Jast, He threatened, 1f he ever lived to come out, vo put a bigger bead on the damned little District Attorney than the one Le put on the man last Mon- day night, It is not probable that we shali have frequent visits from the “piug uglies” of the village of Pinladelpiiia when Brennan’s associates learn that he was arrested, convicted and disposed of in less than thirty-six hours.

There was one of these unpiea- sant affaire last Tuesday evening, which was cer- tainly & most outrageous affair. An individual who claimed, and may be rightly, to be the husband of a certain woman whouw a certain landivrd did not want in his house called upon ube latter at his store, in Sixth avenue, on the evening in question, and assauited him tu his own house for doing what he had a egal right to do—to rent his apartments to whoui he pleased. ‘The “husband,” after the assault, boasted that he had enough “pojice’? outside to put down any police the landlord could cailin; and, sure enough, when one of the clerks of the store veut out to geta BS iceman @ gang of teu or Afteen men congregated about the store to intimidate him.

It might naturally have been supposed thar the feelings of interest and excitement entertained by New Yorkeregeneraily had been allayod, and that the weekly flood of metropolitan manipulators to this place would Nave ceased on the passage of the al. important measures in relation to Gotham which have lately engrossed so much attention, Such, however, does not geem to be the case; for to-day HORDES OF OFFICE HOLDRRS and would-be office holders are here, crowding dhe corridors of the Delavan. It was to be believed that the threatening to kill off the Supervisors would stir up Uhose geatiemen who were fully cognizant of the import of the movement, ange some of them, hav. ing had the fact “wired” to tiem that the bill had passed the Senate, left the metropolis New York, hoping, no doubt, to be here in time to piace a stumbling block in ite way in the Assembiy, or per- haps secure the services of THE DESTROYING ANGEL AS A GUARDIAN over their interests—and principals—in the measure. ‘They came too fate, as the bill had been passed all the way tleough and received the jaunty signature of the Jotm T.

Ifthe statements of some of those opposed to the measures can be taken as correct, the people of New York city are living free of taxation in comparison to the lucklevs residents on t’other side the Spuyten Duyvil. The bills in relation to the several avenues into Westchester county and the purses of the pro- perty holders hang fire from day to day, but their advocates are struggling hara to send them through.

This measure has been here from situe to time, but this year it appears as “An act to leganize the action of the Boards of Supervisors of New York and Westchester counties,” The Super- visors having charge of the new bridge, it appears, gave the company the permission denied them by the State, and the attempt now to legalize that action is, handed means of obtaining thejsanc- ton of the State to the extension of the RAILROAD ACROSS HARLEM BRIDGE.

Paraguay, m 1327, His father, whom he succeeded, in accordance with the provisions of his private will, by virtue of the authority conferred upoa him by the constitution of naming his successor, was Don Carlos Antonio Lopez, .well known as the Dictator of Paraguay and successor of Dr. Frankia, The caceer of Don Carlos and of the late Presi- ent were remarkabvle. ‘Tne first may be sani to have been the Frederick William of Paraguay. He monided the people of his republic mto a solid, compact mass. He was a complete and absolute dictator over the people, From a population of 1,250,000 sous he organized an army of 60,000 men, of which 16,000 were aiways in service, while all the able-bodied Paraguayans were subject to be placed under arms at his command, In addition, the entire commerce of the conutry was under his conwol, Undoubtedly fuli of ambitious designs, Don Carlos prepared his son for the glorious destiny that he be lieved awaited him, The deceased President was sent to Europe, where be received a brilliant edaca- tion, He was versed in ail tie modern langaage: and 18 sald to have been a close student of history. One of his special studies was the art of war. Thore was no branch of the military service in which le Was not proficient, as was proven by tue allies in the recent war tw their cost. HIB ENTRANCE INTO PUBLIC LIVR. Soo after his recurn trom Europe Don francisco Was commissioned a general by lis father. In 1593, When but twenty-seven years of age, he was sent to Europe in the capactiy of Miuister Plea ipotenitary and Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of France, As such he uegotiated treaties of cominerce with England, France and Sardula, all of which were very advantageous to Paraguay, and were evidences of the diplomatic skill possessed by the young Minster. It euould be borne in mma tht that ‘of -Puraknaydh tedaers tor many years, had long since been abandoned, and, although the Dictator preserved his power unbroken, he had initiated numerous liberal measures designed to de- velop the resources of the country. SUCCESSION TO THE PRESIDENCY. Barly in 1862 Don Francisco resurned to Paraguay, aud On the 10th of September of the same year his father died. Belore doing so, however, he had, a3 we h already stated, bequeathed the presidency to his gon. The Jatter convoked the Bishop, the Presiding Judge of the Supreme Court and other high functionaries In a junta or council, ana tnt y presence read the will of hisjfather. Soou after, Congress was summoped in eXtra session, and ou assembling promptly confirived Dow Frauciseo as President of Paraguay, HIS CIVIL. RULE.

From 1902 to 1865, wien tho fatal war broke out, Lopez was busily engaged in strengthemny his position at home and abwead, ‘The standing military force was largely increased, torti- fications were construcied at various points and every preparation made to resist ait jJrom outside enemica. Altiough the most stringent a‘acipling prevailed the people fairly idolized tie President. ‘The army especiaily was devoted to iin. With consuminate skill the ipances of the republic were managed. Miliary and civil officers received scanty pay, while the privates of the army got no- thing more than their cloves and rations.

At the hour named, a blast six feet deep bad been prepared in the upper marble quarry by a convics named Frederick Conklin, who has been for years engaged in tue quarries, and who bas always beem considered a careful man, The bore had been charged with about four pounds of nitro-glycerine, after which (a8 1% the custom) a cloth was, im serted and a quantity of powder placed on the top for the purpose of igniting the explosive matter’ underneaty, Before the fuse was ignited the alarm bugle was sounded and all the convicts left the quarry except Conklin, who quickly retired toa safe distance after he had appliea the match, In a few momeuta the powder exploded, removing a smal! portion of rock, aud, afver remain~ ing several minutes, Conklin gave the signal “ait over,” and with ia fellow convicts returned to ex- amine the blast.
