WASHINGTON The Fight Over the New York Custom House, Fenton’s Opposition to Tom Murphy’s Confirmation. Spirited Debate in the Senate Over the Naturalization Laws. Dieagreement of Congres; on Appropria- tions for Indian Treaties. The Bill to Incorporate the Belgian Teie- graphic Cable Company. WASHINGTON, July 2, 1870, Serious Trouble in the Republican Ranks Opposition to the New York Nominations. The appointments made yesterday by the Prest- dent for New York continue to be the subject of gen- eral discussion among Congressmen and politicians. As wight be expected, the matter attracts most at- tention among the New ri Senators and on Sressmen, but the appointment for the Collector's Office is being earnestly discussed by Senators and , Members from other States, The trouble with the outsiders is that they know, or pretend to know, Uttle about Mr. Thomas Murphy, some of them never having heard ot him prior to his appearance at Long Branch last summer with the President. Sen- ators Conkling and Fenton are beset with Senators froni the West and South, who invariably put the question, “Who is this Murphy?” Their ideas of Mr. Murpny are dependent, to @ great degree, upon Whether they make the inquiry of Fenton or of Conkling, The latter endorses Mr, Murphy up to aia ahtis, AB the saying (3,88 a Drst class man, a thorough republican, an active, energetic politician, and, in short, the man above all others forth: piace to which the President hos nominated him. If the Seuators would rest satisfied with what Conkling says Murphy would doubtless be confirme.| by a finan. imons vote, but they like to know what Feuton has to say about him, and when they get his opinion Murphy appears in a new and entirely dif. ferent light. They are not slow to learn one thing, that on the question of the confirmation of Mr. Mur- phy the New York Senutors ave divided, Conkling being in favor of him and Fenton against him. As to whether the new nominee for Collector is the rigit man each Senator 13 left to form his own opinion, as best he ™m: from the conflicting statements of Conkling and Fenton, The members in the House from New York, that is the repupliicans, are nearly all of Fenton’s way of thinkiug as regards Murphy. They don’t hesitate to say that his appointme is one of the greatest mistakes the President has yet made in the way of distributing the federal patronage, If you tell tnem that Murphy was selecte 1 asa compromise between the different factions of the republican party in New York they reply that he 1s owned by Thurlow Weed, and that his appointment will shatter to Pieces what little there is left of the republican party in New York. His republicanism seems to be generally questioned, that 1s, by the straightout radicals. They say he will sell out to Tammany. and Uthat his appointments will oniy rerve to demoralize the republicans of New York. But all this display of wrath is a little too carly, though, of course, itis meant to have some effect upon the Scnate. Mr. Murphy’s nomination is to be fought in the latter body, not in the House, andi it becdmes important to know something of the feeling there towards Mt. Murphy’s nomination, Mr. Conkung entertains no doubt of Murphy's confirmation, while, on the other hand, Fenton thinks he cannot possibly et through. Conkling says he is backed by such men as ex-Senator Morgan,..Gcorge Opdyke and “Henry Clews, and thatthe President has a petition figned by these and other prominent business men of New York city, asking for Murphy's appointment, Senator Conkling further says, aud he seems to speak by the card, about Mr. Murphy’s nomina- tion, that. Ben, Butler had nothing to do with it and that’lié never spoke to the President on the subject. Orhers, proba: bas well iuformed as Mr, Conk- Ung, #ay (iat Batler, Augustus Schell and the Pres!- dent and Kindred spirits here, and in New York have /g up for two months past. Ac- cording 40 Conkling, Air. Murphy’s selection is due Wholly to the Pr it’s belief in bis fitness for the oMice of Collector, and to notling else. Mr. Conk- ling, itis understood, does not even claim the credit of having had Mr. Murphy’s name sent in, but this is, perhaps, due to the Senator’s excessive mudesty; for tlere are those who assert that he had something todo with it, Senator Fenton is quite as calm as usual, and though he docs not hesitate to declare himself op- posed to Mr. Murphy he 1s seemingly patiently awaiting the action of the Sen: It is understood, however, that he has gone quietly to work on Mr. Murphy’s case, and that he .wi! use what- ever Influence he has in the Senate to defeat the nomination, As between Conkling and Featon the latter 1s unquestionably the Most popular with Senators, and will make a better showing in a personal fight. Conkling’s biunt, unyielding manner fs against him, espectaily with the Southern Senators, some of whom have an idea that he looks down upon them with a certain degree of contempt. ‘Then Fenton will have the sympathy and the active assistance of a large majority of the members in the House, As to the President's personal iufiuence In the matter as regards the action of the Senate, it is not probable that it will be exerted to any large extent. In all probability he will leave the thug to be fought out in the Senate by Fenton and Conk- ling, and the result in that event will demonstrate Which of New York’s favorite sons has most weight in the American House of Lords, Rumored Viplomutic Changes. Rumo?s are current here 1a well informed circles that Moses H. Grinnell has been tendered a foreign mission. Some say that Vienna is the piace, but those who pretend to be best informed about matters in the White Mouse and State Department say that Mr. Bancroft ts to be recalled and Mr. Grinnell is to take his place. There is little doubt but that the ap- poinument of Mr. Griuinell would be received with favor in Prussia, when it 16 taken into coustderation the desire of Bismarck to cultivate the most friendly commercial relations with the United States. Tho Brooklyn Marine Barracks Nulsances. ‘The report of the Naval Board, which was returned last Week by the Secretary of the Navy for more vdefinite action In relation to the nuisance opposite the Marine Barracks in Brooklyn, New York, has been forwarded to the department, with the 1urther statement that the odors and gases complamed of do come from the establishment of C.

It would anuoy ant harass tor- cigners yet to arctve upou our shores and defraud those aready naturalized. Mi. THURMAN, «lem,) ot Ohio, saia the objects of the bil were: fest, to discoura.e emigration trom Europe to the United States; second, to make natu- ralizavion impossible; third, to dist 13) nabaral. wed voters; lourta, to ue.er iy ized citizens from exercising the elective franchise; nith, to pro- vide for s corrupt administration of tie naturaliza. tion laws, He procveded to make good each of there aesertions. He said the bil created more than eighty indictable omfences pumshable by fine and Imprigonuient, one section a.one bristhng with more than sixty, and that it would occas.on lnterminabie litigetion. His spcech occupied neariy two hours. Mr. MoRTON, (tep.) of Ind., 31 ol the efforts of Some of the States through commissioners to intro- duce immigration ‘and the strong inducement to foreigners gue'd out by our homestesd law. He op- posed the bill as an obsiruction to naturalization, Mr, CoLLINSTON, (rep.) of Va., arzucd that our country was wainly mdcDted for its present power and wealth and population to the foreizn element; that our greatness has gee ree its_great dmipalae from that force; but for elentent we would have deen where we were in 1825 or 1830, Without a Pa- cific Rauroad and other great enterpitses. In re- gard vo the practical defects of the pill he said the rights of a naturalized voter could never be vested, because the holder of a naturalization ceruficate was to be liable aly t.me during his life to have it aunulied and to an examination and punisument ior perjury on the aitidavit of any other person.

He beileved that the existence oi naturalization frauds in New York city cou.d not be denicd, but that fu attemptlaz to do away with naturalization all over the country means of reaching these frauds the remedy Would prove worse than the disease, The Senate saisiture for the House bill was fur- ther opposed by Messrs. Howell, Schurz and Casseriy, the latter remarking thacit would be easier ior an applicant for naturalization to caicniate eclipse tuan to understand all the preilimimary req urements to which he would be subjected by the Du. Mr. DRAKS, (.ep.) of Mo,, submitted and advocated an amenément for county natvralizanon commis- sloners, appointed by United States courts, to recetve and report to the courts proof furnished by appli- cants for naturalization. Mr. CONKLING, (rep.) of N.

Mr. EDMUNDS suggested to add “or any other em- pire.” (Laughter, ) Messrs. WARNER, CASSERLY, CorseTT aud Ep- MUNDS said that all discus-ion was prohiotied by the unanimous agreemeni of the Senate to vote against these propositions irrespective of their mer.ts. Mr. MoRTON remarked it wes proposed to settle the whole Chinese problem, involving another ctvili- zation and iabor questions of the greatest magni- tude, without the ivast discussion, Mr. SUMNER said the agreement against debate prevented any reply on his part, but he would say (o Mr. Mor.ou that his amendfnent merely opened’ the question of the Declaration of Indepeadexce, that all meu are creaced equal, Mr. STEWART, (rep.) of Nev., said the amendment was nol germane, as the bill was to reguiute natu. raiizatton among those entitlea to tt, while the amendment had reference to a different class. Mr. WILLIAMS finaily withdrew his amendment, remarking that he would renew it if Mr, Sumaer's amendment was adopted, Mr. Sumner’s amendment was then voted down— yeas 22, bays 23. ‘vhe Senate then rejected the amendment proposed by the Senate commi tee as @ substitute for the House bill—yeas 17, nays 32, ‘The question recurring on the bill as passed by the House Mr. CONKLING Inoved to amend by adding thereto the last two sections of the senate substitute, He said the bill as it stood contained noving but Wiat was in the law at present.

The ballot in the hands of the Regro was an efticient and valuable agent; but the proposition to give it to Cliimamen would only result in hus perscewtion and the defeat of lus fiends.

First, because by the express terms of that act Congress reserved to itself the right to deternuneé what lands shoud be set apart for reser- vation to the Indians, and therefore no treaty could be made binding Congress to appropriate money until these reservations had been ex pressiy approved by Cougress; i, that money canpot be appro. priated from the ‘freastry execpt in pursuance of Jaw--that is, a law epacted by both houses and ap. proved by the President, and that a treaty 1s no such law; third, that the Indian tribes are nov independ ent nations in the sense uf international law, capa- bie or nakmg treaties that can bind them or tie Cuited states. ar.
