WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 1871. ‘fhe ‘Costom Howse Quarrels—Coulling and Fenton in Arms. “Phe talk of the town to-night is the little brush ‘which took place in the Senate to day between Sen- saters Fenton and Conkling on the management of ‘the New York Custom House, I was quite uuex- wetted. The Senate was considering (be bill of ®enater Trumbull to prevent Senators and membors fry seeking oMeces tor their con- #litaents, Senator Patterson, of New Hamp- ehite, had the floor, and was speaking ost the bill, In the coarse of his remarks he referred to the management of the New York Custom Nonse, and proceeded to give his expericuce as “@hairman of the Committee on Retrenchment in the recent investigation of the operations of the special order system, Among other things he siated that one importer Q testified that he had paid in- spectors 210,000 10 get his goods out of the Custom House. This was outside the regular amport duties. Another fact was that upwards of Aity clerks Were employed in one «vision of the Custom House who did votaing but uraw their pay, amounting in ail to over fity thousand dollars per annum. He did nol propose to state all the teste mony taken by lis committee, but he had heard enough to satisfy bim that there was, to say the Jeast, a good muny irregularities in the management of the business of the Custom House. Pat- terson was going on to let more of the cat out of the bag when he was interrupied by Conkiing, who arose to explain. The good looking Senator Was not in the best of humor when he sur ed the Senate, and people were prepared for sometuing of @ tempest. He premised nis remarks with tne voluntary statement that be had never sought an appointment under Coliector Murphy. In fact, he Knew noting about ibe managenient of te Custom Mouse, the number of clerks or anything else. Several Senators smiiea tmeredulously, whereupon Conkling warmed up and reiterated the staten He considered 1 a good sign that the importers of New York couiplaiaed at the management of the Custom House. When they did it was au argument that there was eficiency at tie head of aduirs. Conk Went for Fenton, who as the author of the resolution calling for we investigation of the affvirs of the Custom House, and inutimaied that at w oiferea to gratify personal matice, This brought Fenlon to his jeet. He stated that he had o: il the resolution m question at the earnest solicilauon of numerous prominent merchants of New York. He was sorry it gave offence and that the investiga- tion had developed such a condition of affairs in the Custom Honse, But he was not respon- sible for il. He was glad his colleague, Conkling, had made the disclaimer which he | had about the Custom House officials, fer the general impression outside was that Conkling controlied the patronage of that office. Fenton's Taanner was very cool and sarcastic. The whole debate, whic1 lasted about an hour, was ‘eenly relished by the Senate, Waveiling Vinnle Keam’s Statue o! Lincoln. The programine for the unveiling of Miss Reams’ statue of Lincoln has been completed by the Com- Mmittees on Public Buildings and Grounds. The pro- ecedings will take place to-morrow evening in the President rotunda of the Capitol. After muste by the marme band the statue will be unveiled by Judge Davis, of the Sup’ Court. Re- marks will then be delivered by Senators Trambnil, Carpenter, Patterson and Representatives Banks and Brooks, of New York, ana Cutlom. Seats will be proylded for the President aud Vice Presi- cent, Senator. and Representatives, the Justices of the Supreme Conrt, members ef the Cabinet, repre sentatives of foreign governments, General of the Army, Admiral of the Navy, Mayor of Washington, with the members of their respective families, After Ines’ shall bave been seated the general public wil) be aumitted by the east and west central doors.

Mrs. Grant’s Third Reception at the White + House—Another Brilliant Throng Present— The Dresses of the Presiding Queene— The President Takes Part—The Distinguished People Present, WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 1871. The doors of the White House were thrown open this afternoon to an eager crowd who bad come to pay their respects to Mrs, Grant op the occasion of her third reception. The hour appointed was half- past two, but by two o'clock a few stragglers were seen sauntering up the avenue leading to the mansion, some of whom were probably not posted in regard to Mrs. Grant’s fashionable custom of not appearing until fifteen or twenty minutes after the specified hour. On entering the broad corridor leading to the East Room people were | directed by the ushers towards that spacious apart- ment where, no matter how early yeu come, you will be sure to-find sore others there before you, and usually you see a dozen or more peopie who are ranged in solequi silence around the rooin, THESE EARLY COMERS | princlpaliy consisting of beardless youths, sharp visaged old maids and quaintly attired matron: To-day numbers of strangers who had en- braced tnis favorable opportunity of inspecting the mansion were scattered about the room, some with genuine Yankee curiosity peering into every available corner, i!ting the gorgeous crimson satin draperies and speculating upon their probable | value; others pausing to examine the exquisite | bronzes and gilt baskets ladep with wax fruit which adorn the mantels, whlle a few restless spirits wan. dered np and down, jerking out thelr watches every rminute, and glancing impatiently ont of the Ws as the tramping of horses and the roliing carriage Wheels fell upon their ears. The hfelike, fnii-length portraits of men who in days gone by guided the stupor state arrested the gaze of every ‘ye.

THE STATE CAPITAL, | Carey-Twombly Contested Election Case Closed, The THE COMMITTEE TO REPORT TO-DAY. A Warrant to be Issued for Su- pervisor Terhune. Deteat of the Libel Bill in the Assembly. A Bribing Letter trom a Blind Man. PROTECTION TO FLYING TRAPEZISTS ALBANY, Jan, 24, 1871. THE CARRY-TWOMBLY CASE. The Comm ittee on Privileges and Elections held a meeting again this evening to wind up the Carey- Twombly case. There was very little interest mant- fested in the proceedings, owing to the fact that the most matertal evidence in the case had already been heard, and that everybody knew beforehand what the nature of the summing of counsel on each side would be, There was a little squabble over THE EXAMINATION OF RUFFNER, who had been examined during the investigation in New York before the Board of County Canvassers, but Carey’s connsel finally concluded that it would do no harm to have him again examined, and ho was allowed to testify, His testimony in bulk was but a repetition of his former evidence, and the only new fact elicited from him was that he had hear? the chairman of the Board of Inspectors in the Eighteenth district of the Sixteentt ward an- nounce the vote after the capvass had been com- pleted. This fact, the Carey folks contended was of noimportance whatever in the case, It should be mentioned that previous to the examination of Rut- uer a letter from the clerk of the Bureau of Elections was read, in which he stated that the tally checks of the two election districts in dispute in the case had been taken from his bureau to be used by the subcommittee of the Board of County Canvassers ‘or the purposes of comparison,” and had not been returned. Mr. Stew- art then endeavored to induce the committee to allow him to subpmna the members of this sub- committee so as to show what had veen done with the tallies; but tue request was not aliowed, the committee deeming whatever evidence they could give not material te the case, Mr. Fields SUMMED UP for Mr. Carey and Mr. Stewart for Mr. Twombly. It would only be a repetition of the whole facts in the case to give even a sketch of the speeches of counsel oneitner side, Suffice it te say that the great point at which each levelied his batteries was the action of Terhune, the United States Supervisor, in taking part in the official count of the vote in the Sixteenth ward. Mr. Fields contended that the law in regard to the way and by whom votes should be counted in every election district was mandatory, while Mr. Stewart argued to show that it was not, and that in point of fact Terhune, eA naving handled the ballots in thé general count, did uot, in the eye of the law, commit an offence for which either candidate could be made to suffer. To fortify thls position he fell back on the law of 1870, After the summing up the case was DECLARED CLOBED. The committee wiil report to-day to the Heuse Without a doubt, as there is now pending in the Assembly a resylution cailing on it to show by to- morrow what disposition it may have made of it, ‘Yhe report will of course be a strictly party one—the taajority in favor of Carey and the minority in favor of Twomb! The House will follow sult, and Mr. Carey will declared entitled to nis seat, and we shall hear n0 more of the matter in the House duriug the session untll Terhune, pursuant toa reso- lution introduced by Mr. Murphy to-day, will have been brought up for contempt in not having shown up in the case when called for as a witness, GOVERNOR HOFFMAN'S FIRST RECEPTION took place this eveping. It was very largely attended by members of the Legislature aud tie leading citi- zens ef the capital. The lower House of the Legislature went to work today fn true earnest, and, after resolving itself into Committee of the Whole, passed some ihirteen bills, thus leaving almost an eatirely clear course for the new bills, which are already beginning to crop up to a fearful extent. It has been the habit of a great many comiattees during previous years to keep back a large number of bills referred to them for their consideration until very near the close of the session, when they were rushed through ina batch, and the invariabie excuse {or tois dodge was always that important bills concerning cities should by right have the precedence over all others, lt would seem, therefore, from the brisk way bills which the New York city press may not consider of very great importance to them were disposed of to- day that there is to bea reform in this particular this session, and that people Who do not live in big towns and run big corporations at will are to have as good a slow as. other people in the long run. The «only bill brought up in Committee of the Whole wiich created anything like a discussion was bir. Nelson's, in relerence to LIBEL SUITS AGAINST EDITORS, in which provision was mauve that any fellow who took 1¢ into his head to sue an editor for libel would have to file a bond for $1,000 as security beforehand. This clause appeared to be very objectionable to the leading country members, probably from the fact that Most Of them are as poor as Cilurch mice, and could not hereafter, ii the Clause was allowed to become part of the staudiny law of the State. “get square” with any virtuous quill driver who Wouid see fit to denounce them after he had discovered them wale lowing in some fat “job” in which the people's interests were not at all a matter of consideration. This way of “getting square” with editors for aitl- cies written in denunciation of parties deserving of it was very neatly explained by Mr. Nelson in his advocacy of the vill, He showed, irom many in- stances which had come under his own personal observation, that nine out of every ten libel suits brought against editors were never followed up, And why so? Not at all because the editors Dought them off, with either promises or money, but be- cause they did not dare to go Into court and SVAND THE TEST OF A FAIR TRIAL, In other words, they preferred the easier method of compelling editors to retain counsel at a heavy expense to themselves, and worry them half to death by persistent motions and’ counter mouons which were destined never to be ended by the usual means provided for ordinary tbel sutts. Then, again, he showed up the old pr ctice of “worthless scoundrels” who dared to go so far as to appear in cuurt and prosecute a sult “FOR THR SAKE OF NOTORIETY," certain, in advance, that they would get defeated, and who knew right well that even though they lost their suits the unfortunate editors would be com- pelied lo pay the costs, Strange to say, not a New | York member of any prominence raised bis voice ‘for or against the bill, To be sure Denny Burns and Tim Campbell ventured beyond their depth in a vain” effort to detract the serious attention of the other members from the real merits of the bul by Retting ot a few pluaole witticisins about third partles not interested in the nt when the House laughed at them it laughed as 1 would laugh at anything of a witty nature that would come {rom the same quarter—in derision, 1t was evident duriag the debate that the majority of the members were loth to show where they stood in re.erence to tie question under discussion, so they contented (nen: es wiih hiding their individuality aund iF CRASH OF “NOES,” which killed the bill outright, when, on motion of i the enacting clause oi the act Was xtrack ous. LL Was quite @ 1 im relation to litte Goodiicn, of aa it Jnder these circumstances, racie that Mr. Neison’s other biil els against bewspaper editors did net meet with the same fate. Only partial progress Was Teporied upon it, however, owing to the per- sistency displayed by such members as Alvord and Gieason to Jjave it ridicuiously amended, so that a person bringing a bel suit against an edilor would have tits case Wied in whatever count; pleased.

It would seem that the Brooklyn horse railroad car companies aré not quite so avaricious as those in New York city, Judglng from the pill mtroduced to- bd by Mr. Jacobs. I understand that the New York ioiks Will soon come up here with an act at preponee to authorize them to increase their fare from the present popular standard of five cents te the ex, tremely unpopular one of six cents; and the Brooklyn ople’s bill, under the circum. stances, is quite a refreshing example of how even wealthy corporations can think of the com- forts and inleresta = other SOON Fae | ae 2 trying ver; amass imme! titmbelves. Trprovides that tickets can be had from all conductors of eve: Brooklyn company in pack- ages of five tickets at tue rate of five cents each ticket, and that passengers who do not purchase tlekets must pay six cet, the amount obtained by the extra charge to go to the ACCQUNT OF THE CITY TREASURER. The best thing snes the bill 18 that the tickets will be made serviceable for every line of cars in Brooklyn. It will certatuly pass if care be taken that, nd gome trickery or other, should the bill come up for a third reading In the jst of @rush of Gther lt of less iinportases, mi ext cha ove the five cent rate not 6 UI over an Hed, e Brooklyh companies claim, I believe, that five cent fares, by the ticket arrangement, will pay them better than six cents por passenger if the system be well paaoniaes: inasmuch as the con- ductors cannot knock down then as they how do with the gurrency aud pennies in their own handing. “[ WILL GIVE THER A THOUSAND, CHILD.” Mr, Jacobs created a decided sensation this morn- ing. He rose toa question of privilege, and, after extolling on the hue and cry about legienye core ruption, sent up to the Clerk’s desk the followin; letter, Which will tell its own story. I may add tha' the writer of 1t, according to Mr, Selkreg, who says he Knows him well, 13 a bilad man, and a blind man of good character at that Selkreg, therefore, Velieves that the blind man ‘didn’t mean any wrong’? by his proposition to Jacobs. Of course th utmost indignation was depicied upon the face of every one of the honorabies when the reading of the letter had been concluded; but I doubt very much if it was not put on for the oceasion, At least the indignation, }f it was genuine, must have sprung more from a feeling of disgust on the part of every member who “knew the ropes” that are gilded with gol, that even A BLIND MAN SHOULD BE 80 BLIND as not to know how to work an appropriation through either House, than from any sense that the reputation of the Assembly was at stake in the mat- ter. People who engineer nad poking Dilis through the Legislature, whether hidden under the cloak of charity or got, never write letters. What they reall do is Known to more than one member, who cod teli along story all abeut it. But here is the blind man’s letter:— Trmaca, N.
