Mii iis eins The Erle Railroad jsbbers have been on hand, as usual, but with what success {is not as yet fully apparent. The business of the session generally is beginning to be hurried up. That is rizht—a short session will foster the less corruption. The Vernal Equinoctinl Season. From the careening of the Earth upon its axis in its orbit round the Sun there are two months in the year, March and September, in which, in familiar terms, ‘‘the Sun crosses the line,” or the equator. In September he crosses the line going south, and thence to the 20th of December his course across the sky is farther south of the line from day to day, and then he returns again northward and crosses over to our side of the line about the 20th of March. In this movement, north or south of the line, he carries with him a rainy season, strongly defined in the tropics and sensibly felt in these latitudes in our vernal and autumnal equinoc- tial gales and storms, For several days past the inhabitants of the Earth north of the equator have more or less been visited by these vernal equinoctisl rains in Europe and within the rainy districts of Asia, Northern Africa and North America, The 15th of this | month (Wednesday last), for instance, was a day of clouds and rains and storms over most | of the wide domain of the United States, and a day marked by a great and destructive storm over all the British islands end over a great part, no doubt, of the European Continent: The telegraph is making the readers of the | Hexatp familiar with all these interesting | facts from day to day. The government ; weather reports from the Signal Service Bureau, though reduced to a brief synopsis of the weather of the past day in different sec- tions of the United States and to the proba- bilities of the day before us, are very interest- ing in thelr developments of the extensive range of our regular rains and storms. Some | of them, striking in upon the land from the main ocean, run up the Atlantic slope to Nova Scotia; and occasionally an unusually heavy | storm from the Pacific, as it appears, sweeps over not only the lofty Sierra Nevada range, but over the great basin of Nevada and Utah, and over the Rocky Mountains and the great | Plains to the Mississippi river and the upper | lakes. But the general course of what we | may call our regular rainy spells appears to be from the Gulf of Mexico up the Mississippi valley to Minnesota, and from the Gulf across | the cotton States to the Alleghanies, the first | branch sweeping around to and down the basin ! of the great lakes to Ohio, and thence broad- | cast over the country to the seaboard, and the second branch exhausting itself in the Alle- ghany Mountains, With the continuance of these government weather reports the general knowledge thus imparted to the people of the | United States upon this subject will become | exceedingly valuable. MassaonvseTts oN Executive Usurpa- TioN.—In the Massachusetts Legislature strong resolutions have been introduced in denunciation of the removal of Mr. Sumner from the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela- tions, as an act of the Senate calculated to en- courage the usurpation by the Executive of the powers of the legislative department. Of course this was to be expected from Massa- chusetts in support of her intractable Senator ; but this Sumner affair is a mere trifle com- pared with the executive usurpations charged upon General Jackson, and upon which he was triumphantly re-elected. Moreover, the réle of General Jackson, looking at the wrangling republicans, is now the proper réle for Gen- eral Grant. Ignorant Drv@ CrerKs are altogether too numerous in this community.

Lonpon, March 16, 1871, Tam enabled to forward the following reports for the inforjuation of the New York HgRaLy:— A CONCILIATORY POLICY. The French Cabinet has decided to continue its policy of conciliation towards the malcontents of the Montmartre. The weather is very bad and the insurgents are scattering. Itis thought that those who still hold their ground will soon yield. MASKED PROCESSIONS FORBIDDEN. A telegram from Paris dated to-day reports that General Vinoy, military commander in Paris, has issued an order positively forbidding al! processions of masqueraders to-morrow. A NEW PREFECT OF POLICE. The Times’ special despatch from Paris says the French Cabinet has decided to appoint M. Valentin Prefect of the Paris police. This indicates the adoption of measures for the suppression of all popular tumults. The police will, however, permit the usual mid -Lent gatherings, and disturbances are feared. ADDRESS*TO THE MOBILE GUARDS, A proclamation bas been addressed by the Minister of War to the Mobile Guards compliment- ing them upon their efforts for the cause of France, and concluding as follows:—'*Nothing can long ar- rest the destinies of France, Courage, patience and patriousm!"?

Dead Bodies Found Floating in the Dykes and Marshes of Pranee. Adopted to Prevent Pestilence. EVACUATION OF DIEPEH. Measures TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, March 16, 1871. Ihave recetved the following intelligence from France, and forward it for publication in the NEW York HERALD: — The Count of Paris renounces any intention on his partto compete with the other princes of tne adoption of Mr. James Irving’s bill in the \ royal house of France for the throne, Legislature, compelling druggists and drug j clerks to be examined and qualified by com- petent pharmaceutists appointed by proper authority. The present loose system subjects every one to the chance of being poisoned at any time. What is the use of obtaining a pre- scription from the most skilful physician if an ignorant boy, who does not know Rochelle salts from arsenic, is enirusted with the duty of making it up? When men go to the drug- gist’s shop with their prescriptions they place their lives, as it were, in the hands of people Jn whom they naturally repose confidence. If that confidence is betrayed by gross ignorance itis a poor excuse for the sufferer. There- fore, we say, that we want stringent legisla- tion upon this matter. Druggisis who are not qualified for their business are merely exer- cising their profession on false pretenses, and they should not be permitted to trifle with | human health and life.

Another Royal Marriage in Prospect—Ireland to Enjoy the “Light of the Look.” TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, March 16, 1871. Questions of alliances by marriage of different members of the Queen’s family with noble subjects of the Crown are debated frecly in fashionable cir- cles in Great Britain daily, Iam enabled to report by cable to the HERALD that the latest prevailing report of this kind ts to the effect that a marriage has bets arranged be- tween the Princess Beatrice, the fifth daughter and ninth child of Queen Victoria, and the Marquis of Ely. The Princess Beatrice is now in her fourteenth year, having been born on the 14th of April, 1857. John Henry Wellington Graham Loftus, Marquis and Earl of Ely, was born on the 20th of March, in the year 1849, Should his union be accomplished Ireland will be honored by the ceremony just as will Scotland by the marriage of the Marquis of Lorne with the Prin- cess Louise. The Marquis of Ely resides alternately at Loitus Hall, county Wexford, and Ely Castle, county Fermanagh, Ireland. He traces his lineage back as far almost as that of the Campbells of Ar- gyll, claiming that his ancestors were “neid in high estimation” in England in the time of Alfred, and that his forefathers possessed lands and authority in York before the advent of the Norman and subse- quent to the Conquest by military tenure, Amember of the Loftus family went to Ireland with the buke of Sussex in the year 1562, and his descendants have been distinguished both in the history of the island and in that of the kingdom of Britaiu ever since.

Ben Butler and Speaker Blaine Lock Horns. More Trouble Brewing in the Re- publican Camp. NEW TEST OF PARTY FEALTY. Settlement of American Claims | Against Spain. WASHINGTON, March 16, 1871, A Memorable Day in the House=The Repub- Nean Breach Widening—Ben Butler and | Speaker Blaine Lock Horn This has been the most remarkabie and memo: | rable day, in many respects, that has been witnessed in the House of Representatives since the two houses: met on the 10th of February, 1869, to count the elec- toral votes for President and Vice President, The stormy scene which transpired on that occasion, in which General .Butler was the leader, 1s still fresh in the public memory, together with the speech or speeches of Schuyler Collax, who was then Speaker of the House, in defence of his rulings and the rulings of old Ben Wade duriug the legislative melée, The scene to-day dittere tT trom that of February, 1869, in the fact that Speaker Col- fax did not leave the chair to answer Butler alone, but alarge number of other members of the House who followed his lead, To-day Speaker Blaine, as Butler said, “leit the chair for the floor solely to attack a fellow member.” Of course Blaine does not look at tt in this light. He consid. ered himself agrieved and insulted by the terms of Butler's letter, which was published in the HERALD of to-day, and he says he came frem the chair to defend himself. It is not the first time that Butier has been in such a fight, but it is the first oc- casion upon which Blaine has had such a job on his hands since his famous contest with Roscoe Conk- ling, in the Thirty-ninth Congress, in the matter of Provost Marshal General Fry, where tt was generally admitted at the time that Conkling, to use an ex- | pressive phrase, “laid him out."? Before the House met to-day General Butler had ; an intimation that “all is not well in Denmark,’ and that Blaine intended to mount him. By and by he heard that Kelley, Dawes, Garfield and other lesser lights of the republican party all bad “rods in pickle” for him. In fact the indications were that the gallant Ben’s broad back would be well beaten before dinner, Butler was not at all dismayed. ‘We will see,” he said, with that close compression of his pugnacious mouth which indicates fight The Chaplain in the course of his openmg prayer said, 0 Lord, help ws to see the right, and give us courage to do it.” Butler, who was an attentive and a reverent Lis- tener, responded to tus with an “Amen” so hearty that those around him were startled from tueir de- votions. He was probably thinking of his darling Ku Klux bill, and of what he calls the “legislative trick” whereby he was prevented from getting it before the House. The “Amen” was not so much for himself as for such slippery republicans as Dawes, Garficld and Blaine, who, Butler has an idea, would as soon tram with the demesrats as the republicans. At all events the bold Butler entered upon the day’s work In pious frame of mind. He had written a letter, to be sure; he had lald it upon Me desks of members, he had given copies of it to what Speaker Blaine was pleased, in his wrath, to term Butler's “‘claquers of the public press;’? but tn ail this he had, as he sup- pesed, sinned not. Tne bold Ben Butier was mis | laken, a3 he realized soon after the reading of the } journa), The rods in pickle were drawn out one by one and applied to Lis broad back. First of ull came the “Jyon Duke’? of Pennsyl- vanla, Judge Kelley, who, mm his deep, rorrestonian tones, always the admiration and delight of the House, protested against that part of Butler's letter which charges that “the comiittee was raised by @ combination of the high tariuf republicans with the democracy.” This was toe much for Kelley, who was with Butler on the Ku Klux bill, Keiley did not remember a charge of this Kind to have been made upon respectable authority since the days of Polk and Dallas and the tariff of 1842, Kelley’s rod evidently did not hurt the broad back of Butler, for the latter gentleman immediately exculpated the Iron Duke from all blame. The truth is, he did not refer to Kelley at all in what hesatd about tne “high tari? republicans.’ He was striking at his own section—New England=but the high tari! men at least, they did not, for they made no reply. By this time it became evident to the members on the floor, a3 well as to the spectators in the gallery who knew anything about the matter, that one of those scenes for which the House is famous was imminent. In answering Kelley Butler was interrupted by Daves, Who wanted to kuow What the Essex states. man meant by the word “trick.” This interruption seemed to fire Butler. In an instant his ‘soul was in arms and eager forthe fray,” which he knew was coming, Dawes did not get a chance to break his rod over Butler’s back. Peters, of Maine, who offered the Blaine resolution, with a “smile that was childlike and bland,” endeavored to shoulder the responsibility and defend his action. But it was evident Butler was after nigher game, so he wasted few words and less time upon the genial and good natured Pete: In the meantime Speaker Blaine had called Mr. Wheeler, of New York, to the chair and made Ins appearance upon the floor in | Members said to each other, ‘Now we'll have busl- ness," for Blaine looked like Macduff in front of the castle alter Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane, with the exception that his speech was not In bis sword, but in his mouth, “we > As soon as Butier sat down Blaine was, of course, recogniz.d by the Speaker pro ‘em. The democrats who had been silent spectators of the fight thus far now came over in groups to the rej ublican side ot the Houge. Ina short time not a democrat Was in his seat, and nobody seemed to be on that side of the haw, When Blaine began fo speak there was an unusual stillness in the House. Letter writing and newspaper reading were abandoned for the time, Every neck was stretched in eager ex- pectation and every eye fixed upon the Speaker of the House. Ben Butler sat in his seat ana looked on like others, only with a careless nogchalant air, as if to say “Come on, Macdul! And damned be ke who first cries, hold, enough!" Blaine’s soul was charged with what he evidently regarded as a gross insult, first, to himself per- soually, and second to his office as Speaker of the House. He ts a man of strong feeling and ora good deal of temper. The trouvle with him is that he cannot always, especially m a heated debate, conceal the one or restrain the other, He has a fine Sgure, and always wears his coat buttoned up like Fernando Wood and Senator Car- penter. He wanted to know, first of all, whether Butler knew that he drew the resolution in question, Butler is as good a witness ashe isa lawyer. He knows how to answer a question as well as how to ask one, He knows that it is no part of the business of a witness to criminate hiuself, and so he told Biaine he knew nothing about tt, This answer, although soft, did not serve to turn away the wrath of the Speaker. On the contrary, ttseemed to madden tim. Without fur- ther ceremony.he launched into a terrible onslaught upon Butler, Ben appeared to take it quite coolly. Tne anathemas of Blaine fell upon him as harm- lessly as the balls from the Merrimac upon the tron armor of the Monitor, Butier ts used to Unis sort of thing. Ashe said himself, in reply, “The calling of hard names will do no harm to me here or tn the country, If1 could have been Killed by being called hard names I should have died long, long ago.’? Blaine, however, made some poluts upon Butler from Maine and Massachusetts “couldn’t see it,” or, | the neighborhood of where Dawes and Garfield sit. | et teeta aed or what were considered pointa, for at intervals the House came down with rounds of applause, which wore always started in the neighborhood of where he spoke by Garfleld, Dawes and otners, The demo- crats, who hate Butler as they do potson, began to get worked up at the fearful denunciation of Blaine. There seemed to be an understanding among them that they Should take no part in the fight, butit was hard to restrain Sam Cox, Eldridge, Brooks, Holman and others who regard all fights a3 free, and are ready totake a hand in them. As tt was there were re- sponses at intervals such as one hears ina Methodist revival meeting. Sam Cox was heard to say “That's it’? when Blaine hit Butler on the sore spot about the Charleston Convention, and Eldridye chimed in “Give him ano her’ when something was suid about trickery In politics, Blaine’s speech was full of language that's plain, but it is generally conceded that it did not comport with the dignity of the Speaker of the House, Some members even go so far as to say to Butler, but there 13 @ difference of opinion on this. When Blaine finished the Speaker pro tem, recognized Butler, As he arose to speak his man- ner was unusually coot for him, especially in view of the extraordinary circumstance He soon warmed up to his work, however, and, from his well known readiness aud ability, members expected that Blaine would not have tt all his own Way. Butler's enunciation is not good, and so the democrats crowded a | they were all in the area in front , Speaker's desk, Butler wis not worn out by | the belaboring he had received from Keiley and | Dawes, nor did he seem to be particularly affected by the pounding of Blaine, He had not proceeded | far before he quoted the speech which the H&RALD | of to-day said he would have made yesterday, had he obtained the floor. Instead of giving the words of the poem he made a parody upon tt, as follows:— For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, Tame the Speaker, and that I dare to maintain. This was equal to ls famous “shoo fly” Cox, and the House went off into a fit of laughter which lasted tong enough to give Butier breathing time, It had the effect, too, of gaining him a cer- tain amount of sympathy, for in the House of Rep- resentatives, as elsewhere, theré is nothing 80 suc- cessful as success, When the laughter had subsided Butler was ready to start out afresh. The recognition of the House seemed to encourage him, and he went for Blaine, a3 the boxers say, without gloves. He told the Story of his private interview with Blaine on the floor of the House yesterday, and again convulsed the house with laughter by repeating his reply to Blaino when the latter askea him the resolution. Said Butler, ‘I satd ‘I'll be d——d {ff will, Iwill have nothing to do with it.’ This Was another point which brought him into favor with the House. When Butler accused Blaine of going over to the democratic side of the house for the purpose of compromising on the resolution, and charged that Blaine was the owner of rich coal | | fleids, the Speaker could not restrain himself and in- terrupted to say that he was in favor of the repeal of the coal tariff. “1 ay, again,” satd Butler, or ways that are dark and tricks that are vain liname Speaker ——, and that I rise to explain.” Every repetition of his parody from the “Heathen Chinee” seemed to start the members off in a fresh he accused Blaine of being interested in the Land Grab bilis which passed at the last session, and where he then thanked God that he knew nothing of parilamentary law, because he saw how it affected aman’s mind who made ita study. The spectacle in the House is generally regretted by tue republi- cans, It is regarded by the democrats as a fresh | party, but it is really nothing more than an ebul- lion of personal feeling among rival leaders of the dominant party. Senatorial Caucus—Discussion of Southern Aflairs-No General Legislation This Ses- sion, ‘There were two caucus meetings of the repubitean ment of the Senate, shortly after one o’clock, until nearly six o'clock in the evening. The subjects un- der discassion were the same tnat nave beon de- bated by the caucus at such length during @ number of recent sessions, namely, the con- dition of affairs in the South and the advisibility of agreeing to legislate at the present time with @ view to their improvement. The debate to-day was characterized by great animation and earnestness, and occasionally also by confusion and excitement, as many as eigit or ten Senators being frequently on the floor at one time. Messrs. Mor- ton, Chandler, Wilson, Sherman, Pool, Ames and others urged the necessity, for many reasons, of de- laying adjournment and enacting some stringent measures for the protection of lie and property in the Southern States, while Messrs, Trambuill, Conkling, Hamilta, Morrill, Buckingham, Sawyer, Robertson, Keliogg, Hill and others as earnestly contended that the attempt to enter upon this spe- cles of legislation would be productive of much more harm than good, and was not, in fact, re. quired by the necessities of the vase, The questions of the constitutionality of the proposed methods or suppressing the alleged disorders ana the practical difliculties witch would attend the enforcement of | Sygh measures, Ng adopted, were discussed at great length. Finaliy votes weré taken with the following result:— First—It was agreed that to-morrow in the session of the Senate the House concurrent resolution for an adjournment next Monday shail be laid on the table. Second-—That a joint resolution shall be introduced by Mr. Anthony, supported by the republicaa ma- jority, providing for the appointment of a joimt com- mittee ef five Senators and seven members of tho House to take testimony in regard to the condition of affairs in the South. Third—That a resolution shall be adopted instruct- ing the Senate Judiciary Committee to report @ bill for the suppression of unlawful organizations and the better protection of life and property in the Southern States, and finaliy that no other legislation shall be considered or euacted during th session. wi scarmhr ie ta acs Auother Republican Tempest Brewing—Om- cial Heads in Danger—New List of Party Fealty. In addition to the troubles heaped upon the repub- lcan organization by the deposition of Mr. Sumner from the chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Blaine-Butler ¢ mtroyersy in the House to-day {t is stafed that there will be addi- tional tribulation among the government officials in afew days. The new republican members of Con- gress since their arrival in Washington have repre- sented to the President that there are men in oflice whose sympathies are not entirely with the Presi- dent, and that the success of the republican party demands that they should be promptly removed.

It has been generally suppesed. that all those holding office under this administration were sound repub- licans, but a new issue has arisen since the St. Do- mingo scheme was last introduced In Congress, and the standard of orthodox republicans is now understood to be fealty to the President and his fa- vorlte measures, the principal one being his renomi- nation in 1872, Practical politicians say that the reorganization of tie civil service on this basis Is calculated to divide the republican pa.ty more and more, and that before the national republican con- vention meets to nominate @ candidate for the Presidency it will be seen that the aystem of aiscl- pline which Is essential in an army cannot be so suc- cessfully applied to polities, Settlement of American Claims Against Spain. Advices recetyed from General Sickies, our Minis- ter to Spain, states that he has negotiated an arrangement with the Spayish gevernment by which all the claims of American citizens for loss of property or injury to person in Cuba shall be settied by arbitration, These claims arise princi- pally out of the seizure of American vessels by the Spanisu authorities during the hostilities in ; Cuba, the} execution of American citizens without | ! | } that Blaine should not have left the chair to reply | little nearer, unttl finally | of the | on sam | to be chairman of tho special committee under | | fit of laughter, which, of course, told in But- ler’s favor.

The President informed them thas he would meet their wished im that re. spect. Subsequently Senator Cameron called at the White House and told the President he would like to have something to say about the new appotnt- ment. The President replicd that before filling the vacancy he would consult the Philadelphia delega~ tion and the Pennsylvania Senators. The Philadoi- phia delegation are considering the names of Chariea O'Neill, late member of Congress from the Second district, and D. P. Southworth, formerly Supervisor of Internat Revenue for the Eastern district of Pennsylvania, for the vacant collectorship. Came- Ton is in favor of Mr, Mark, who was @ member of the Legislature which reelected Cameron to the } Senate, and one of his most prominent supporters.
