Vv 8B WASHINGTON. / ‘She St; Domingo Coomission En Route for New York. Cabral. Not Untavorable to Annexation. -SLENESS OF ADMIRAL PORTER ‘WasuInaton, Jan. 15, 1871, ‘Burton, of Kentucky, In New York they will be Jommed by Dr. 8. G. Howe, the other member of the commiséion, who has not been here, Ssécretary Robeson and General Porter, the President's private meoretary, are in New York, for the purpose ef giv- the joint resolution authorizing their appointment. Of course they will make their report to the Prest- dent. At the request of the commission, Professor ‘Wiliam P. Blake, formerly of California, has been appointed geologist and mineralogist of the com. mission, The Profeseor has been engaged for some time past im editing the Paris Exhibition Reports, now.completed. He is well known to the profes- sional world in connection with geological explora- tons in the West and in Japan. ‘The Georgin Senators in Distress. It is understood that the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee 1s about ready to report upon the status of tue numerous gentlemen claiming seats in the Sen- ate from the State of Georgia. ‘There will, ag usnal, be two reports—a majority and a mmority. The Majority of the committee will report m favor of the right of Messra. Hill and Miller to the seats, the one for the long and the other for the short term be- gzaning on the 4th of March, 1871, This leaves Foa- ter Blodgett, Bulleck’s candidate, out of the count. Miller is not eligible just yet, having participated in the repetion and not having had bis political @igabilities removed. He is sald to de repentant and @ good republican, which may serve to move the Congressiena) heart in such a way as to secure the passage of @ vill for the removal of his disabili- ties before the ¢th of March, Hill, it 1s sald, 1s all sight, im the meantime Blodgett hes arrived to 100k after his interesta, He has a certificate from Governor Bullock showing that he was duly elected @ Benstor by the Legislature for six years from the 4th of March next, and also that he was elected to MH she balance of the term which expires on the _ #th of March. Blodgett was tried for perjury recently 1n Georgia and acquitted. He 1s an mvense Tadical. He says if he ts opposed by the republicans of the Senate on personal grounds he proposes to get out of the way and allow the present Legislature to elect a democrat in his place. He will appear before the Jad@iciary Committee this week and present his clams. The minority report of the committee will go against all the persons claiming to be Senators from Georgia, and will be in favor of an election de novo by the Legisiatare which has just been chosen. The ground taken is that the law of Georgia requires that the Uhited States Senators shall be elected by the Lemis- lature chosen immediately preceding the term for which the Senators are to be elected. It is claimed ‘thatt here 1s a more recent law on the sugyect, which sete this aside, but the minority say that this was passed in defiance of the constitution of Georgia, and ts, therefore, null and void. When the Judictary Committee report is made to the Senate it is likely to lead to @ protracted discussion. Abbott and Vance. Senawor Pool, of North Carolina, has introduted the petition of Senator elect Vance fer the removal of his political disabilities. It is understood that Sena- tor Abbott will contest the seat of Governor Vance, and that he will be supported by his colleague, Mr. Pool. Senator Abboti’s grounds ior claiming the seat are, that Varce, being ineligible, the votes cast for Vance are void, and that consequently Abbott received the majority of the legal votes cast in the Legislature. He also claims that he received a majority of a quorum of both houses on joint ballot, and @ quorum was present and voted, although their votes were thrown away on an in- eligible person. General Abbott admits that the practice in America, both in State Legislatures and in Congress, has been that, where a constituency or electors as a Legislature has unwittingly elected aa ineligible person, the election has been referred again to the constituency. He also claims that there 4s no precedent in American parliamentary practice bearing upon this case, since in all cases here- toiore, including that of Albert Gallatin and General Shields, the electors voted without Knowledge of the ineligibility of the candidate. In the care of Vance, his ineligibility was perfectly well known, and he was elected not only jn full Knowledge of his ineligibility, but in open defiance of law. Abbott contends also that Vance cannot Tesigh,\since not having been elected he has mothing to resign, and if Vance should go ‘through the form of resigning Abbott will con- ‘test the seat ali the same, on the ground ‘that when the voting occurred in the Legislature he was legally elected. Abbott is confident that both Engi#hi and American law sustain him, and that “heres no American precedent against him. What ‘the Senate will do in the matter may be doubtful, 60 {ar ag relates to the admission of Apbott; but the impression is gaimng ground that he wili be ad- mnirved; as the jaw ts so clearly in bis favor. ‘The Ku Kiux Before Congress. A®s00n as the document sent by the President to the Senate last week, in reply to Governor Morton's resofution of inguiry about the condition of asfairs an North Carolina and other Southern States is printed, Governor Morton will offer a series of reso- Jutions for the appoiutment of a special commitiee to investigate the facts set forty in the President's reply, with power to send fer persons ana papers. ‘rue object of this is to bring the Ku Kiux Klan girectly under the control of Congress. Milness of Admiral Porter. Admiral porter was strickeo with pleurisy on ‘Friday taght last wnd was confined to bis bed untit agjere hour this evening. He 1s now better aud en- Ruregly out of danger. The Next Semson ot Congrew—Canvassing for Officers of the New House. Jndging from the activity of the several delega- tions 48 putting forward candidates for oficers of the nexs Mouse it would sevm to ve conceded that the new Congress is to be orgauized on the 4th of March, im gccordance with existing law. The | ane Wisconsin delegation held a meeting: yesterday, at prbick they agreed to support General Halber: E, | Paine for Sengeanvararms. General Paine ls a gember of the present House, but was not re- @ected. The Guo delrgetion also had a meeting, ‘whereas they agreed to support Colonel Hawkins ior Posummaer of ta House. This gentiewan ‘at present Assirtant Superimeadent of the | i ting the Speaker, the Clerk and the Doorkeeper, the three leading officers of the House. In the mectings of the several delegations and in the other combina. tons forming with reference to the selection of oMicers for the new House not # word has been sald about the revenue reform movement. In fact, that business seems to have fizzied out completely, and nothing 1s heard of it more than if it had never been following programme of 1 , “Bos meo and Juliet;” Tuesday, “Dorf und stadt,” Bier- pfeiffer; Wednesday, “Thé Robbers;’’ Thursday, New York one to be a8 an epoch on our stage. i “Saratoga,” with crowded houses and no tatives on Friday last by Mr. Dawes and tho state- ment publighea théreon tending te create the im- Sunday Mails Over the Pacific Railroad. The Postmaster General has made an arrange- week day in the Pacific and immediate States and Territories; and no mail was received atthe East one day each week. A very serious inconvenience 1s thus obviated. CORGCORAN’S VOLUNTEERS. Mecting of the Officers of the Irish Brigade Yemerday Afterneon. A meeting of the. officers of the late Insh Brigade ‘was held at Sweeny’s Hotel, in Chatham street, yes- terday, to take into consideration such propositions as might be made conterning the plans for the Feception of the Irism exiles. The call specified three o’clock..as the hour of gathering, but the time sped by, and the call to order toox place at so late an hour that, though little pusiness was transacted, the meeting did not close till long after the gasin the streets was lighted. ‘The PRESIDENT (Captain Benson) announced that the meeting was called to make arrangements for a suitaole rece; of the Irish exiles expected to Sra Sas ere oe et ‘. " roll of officers and delegates was then called by J. M. Burns, Secretary, after which it was moved &nd carried that th routine of business be nsed with. e following resolution was read as offered by Major Hogan:— That the committee already inted be empowered to confer with the eity authorities ‘2nd report at our hort special meeting, which will take place on Thursday evening next. Colonel ByRos, of the Committee Rm aeaggatet Treported:—We waited upon Colonel Roberts, an by him were assigned a second in line. It was then considered, Iw algo add that I Consider now, that it would be best that we appear without carriages and walk in the line. This report was adopted, A motion was made that a vote of thangs be re- turned to Colonel Roberts showing their considera- tion for the kindness with which he received the committee. This was carried, and Colonel Roberts responded in @ neat speech, paying @ tribute to General Mars and adding that he would endeavor in the future to show bis appreciation of the honors which had been paid for nis humble efforts in the juste . The question was raised as to whether the recep- ton was to take place on the arrival of the steamer, as stated in many of the city ers, Or On Satur- day, as stated in the HERALD of Saturday last. Cotonel ROBERTS said that an informal reception would, without deubi, take piace on the arrival of the steamer, but the formal reception, to which the attention of the meeting was cted, would take place on Saturday. In repiy to other questions he stated that he had received a telegram in reply from one of his_correspondents, a journalist of Dubnn— who, like all journalists, was uszally correct in nis information—stating that sixteen persons were on board the Cuba, leaving Queenstown one week ago Saturday, and not giving the names. After half an hour's discussion it was understood that caps should be worn in the procession of the oid iniantry style of the United States Army, and that box w and no feathers should be worn, A resolution was presented by Captain Foley that the cap committee be empowered take st vo procure the old colors of the brigade from the now holding them, The motion was brought out by @ statement of Major Michael O'Sulivan, who, wit. Colonel R. C. Bently, presented the colors to the Sen- ate and Assembly, in the State Capitol, on the Fourth of July, 1865, and who stated that they couid only be procured from tht tar, e 01 ie oMicials of the Bureau of Mili- ‘'y Statistics. n motion the meeting was adjourned till eight o’clock Thursday evening, the 19th instant, at which time ali nonorary, as well ag acting, members are invited to be present. ANOTHER ERIE-CENTRAL DIFFICULTY. The Suspension Bridge Affair. There is another Erie-Central diMculty on the tapis. On Friday last the Supreme Court at Roches- ter rerdered a decision confirmatory of that of the commissioners in the Suspension Bridge and Erie Juncture cage in reference to the completion of the new Erie line from Buffalo to Niagara Falls. On Saturday night, anticipating that an attempt would be made by Erie to complete their connections, the Central people ran an engine of the track at one of the pomts of intersection, in such @ manuer as to prevent the tne crossing _ plates. arly yesterday morn- ing the &re working party, armed with the or- der of the Court, put in the crossing on the Lewiston road and one on the Niagara Falls road. Finding the third point of intersecuon blocked b; ‘the engine which the Central people had run oj the Ei tendent at once it up his Wrecking apparatas and set te work to remove the obstruction. By three o’clock in the afternoon the Erie party had taken possession of the crossing and placed in one of their irogs. They were working vigorously jate yesterday evening, under instruc- uons to complete their connections tast night, KESH.R SEL BARZEL. I Meeting—Rites of the Order—Election of Officers.
