Interesting Scene in the As- sembly Chamber. Stirring Disenssion Gver the Proposition to Expel Irving After His Resignation, The Democratic Majority Cut Down to a Tie. Trving’s Letter of Apology to the House. Doubtful Position of the Big City Jobs in the Assembly. ALbany, April 10, 1871. The great feature of the session to-night in the Legislature was the announcement in the Assembly at THY! RESIGNATION OF MR, IRVING. It was generally understood that as the commit- tee had not time to examine ail the witnesses they had subpa@naed no action whatever would be taken upon the matter until to-morrow afternoon at least, but Irying’s letter upset every calculation upon the subject and took the entire House by sur- prise, AS it was, however, outsiders who know nothing whatever about the movements of the cominittce made certain to be on hand, anyhow, and 80, long before the House assembled, the gal- lerles, the lobbies and even the aisles on the floor were more densely crowded than they have been at any time previous @uring the session, Standing room im front was at a premium, and locomo- tion was quite out of the question, When the Speaker announced that the letter en- closing the resignation would be read a silence of death ensned, and every neck was stretched for- ward in the general eagerness to hear what Irving had to say. Armstrong was much agitated, and read the letter in a trembling voice and as thougn the duty he had to perform was not exactly to nis tiking. Lt will be seen by the letter that IRVING MAKES FULL APOLOGY to his fellow memopers for having given way to his temper, but that at the same time he emphatically reiterates the assertion he made oh the night of the encounter, that Weed first struck him at the desk. ‘The letter speaks for itseif and | herewith append it: To THE HON, SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBL Sin—There Is LO man Who thinks oa his past Ife but calls to mind words that he would wish up- spoken and things done that he would wish undone. We have all much to regret and much to forgive. For my share im the uuhappy occurrence of last Fri- day evening, Which occupies the attention of the House, [am sincerely sorry. if \nthe heatot anger und under the spur of what seemed to me great provocation I have commitied an act violating the proprieties of House and offensive to tts dignity 1 vield to 1 have been for member of it. I am, 7 think, the oldest member; and although Providence did not b! my early career with that cultare which graces so many other genuemen of the House, yet [ have enjoyed the Irienuship of any Members and, until recently, the kindly acquaintance of them all, 1 do not seek to milgate any proper censure that may be due to me crto defend an act which T know was tn violation. of the decorum neceasary in all legislative bodies, yet I think it due to myself to say that the unfor- tunace altercation between tie member from Clinton and myself would never have occurred had not his conduct toward me on tat oecasion and for sone time past satisfied me of the existence of a seuled desire on his part to irritate and insult me. 1 dis- tinctly state that I was strack by the member from Clinton before I raised my hand against him. In couciusion, L thank the House with all ny heart for the Kindaess with which [ have been treated by It, and with no less earnesiness and sincerity renew the agsurances of my deep regret that any act of mine should have diminished that feeling or changed the relations we have borne tows ach otner, Respectiully, JAMES IRVING. ‘The reading of the letter was a great surprise to Trving’s friends, for he had as late as four o'clock in the afternoon eagaged two of the most eminent lawyers in this city to appear on his behalf before the committee, and bad said in a conversation with a gentleman as to What action he thought the com- mittee would take, “I want no sympathy, but simple justice, and I court the fullest investigation.” It is believed that had he been left to his own views of the case he would have stood fast and faced the finai result of the investigation, but that tue pres- sure brought to bear upon him by H18 OWN FAMILY, who were well aware that the clamor raised by the rumpus op Friday night outside the House and the atutude of the country members would in the long his mother at | run prove fatai to him, proved tvo strong jor him to resist. When the reading of the letter had been concluded ex-Governor Alvord was the first one to rise from fis seat to speak upon the subject. He contended, as will be seen by his remarks, wich I append below, that he did not think THE DIGNITY OF THE HOUSE would be maintained if the resignation was allowed to stand as the finale to the investigation, and he Uhen cited a case to prove that after a member had resigned a resolution to expel him would still be in order, ‘Tom Fields went forthe giant at this and gave him a severe castigation about his own fisticut? exhibition which he went through a few days ago, when he so Jar compromised dignity of a lewts- lator as to seize by the veck strike a gentieman during a session of the Committee on Canals, who called bim “A DAMNED OLD RASCAL.” Certainly Alvord, under the circumstances, was rather the wrong person to (alk about dignity, Littlejohn took the ground that as Mr. [rving’s let- ter left an imputation upon the conduct of Mr. Weed it was necessary that the committee should go on with its investigation. At this point a wrangle ensued between him and ‘Tom Fields about reporting the resoluttien to the House—which the comuaittee had nnanimonsly instructed nim to do— which was finatly ended by the reading of the reso- lution, Hverybody at first thought that it referred to the QUESTION OF EXPULSION; bat tt turned out to be simply one suggesting that the House should adjourn to-night until to-morrow: morning It the committee were not ready to make | their report. The resolution was tually adopted | and the iLonse adjourned. It wonid thus seem that the republican leaders, Whose rank aud file were not on hand int full strength, are determined, if the commnittee Gan be made to report a resolution of ¢x- puision, to make the passage of 1b a parcy question. Now that Irving ts NO LONGER A MEMBER of the Honse, many of ‘hem who maght have voted for expulsion think that such # resolution is un- necessary. [11s very queertain whether a majority of the committee can be made to agree to report the | resoiution; for Mr. Aiken, who stood next to Irving | and Weed at the Clerk's desk, swore positively tis aiternoon that WEED DID STRIKE IRVING inthe ribs and afterwards pushed bim away from the steps where he was standing. This, some of the members think, now that the resignation jias been handed in, i8 suilicient to justify them in refusing wo go tor the resolutions. Indeed, three of them, who called upon Irving at his rooms this morning, told that they would nov go for it. this tum lor New York irving left evening, and was accom: anied to the boi @ Jarge number of bis po- teal confreres. Although he has gone away und a cloud, and tt ts the common custom the world to Kick # man When he ts down, | will say for iim that he has been, during the entire session, oF the most indefatizadle workers in the Assembly that m him the majority lost a fabian) adherent, ‘The great question now is, How will the majority get througn the tax levy, the Registration bill and the new Election law y They cannot do tt without ALD FROM THE REPUBLICANS, and who the men are who will help them out of their diiculty has already given rise to consiuer- able conjecture. It is rumored that five ruraltsw have promised to go the whoie animal on ail their bills when the time comes for them to act, but thetr names have not yet come to ght. The following 1s the discussion had upon Irving's letter of ‘resigna- ttons— Mr. Yietps—Mr, Speaker, | was tnstrncted by the special comroittce of investigation to offer # resolution fo this Honse, bat aster the resignation of Mi. Irving, as this House has no longer jurtsdie- tion of his person, it certainly Nas Do longer jurts- diction of the subject matter before that coramittes. Mr. ALVoRD—I think, sir, that the dnties of tha committee are not yet finished. We are eatied npon to examine and report to this House on the conduct of the member from Clinton and the member from New York. We have not yet performed that duty. Ubeheve that it is our duty a8 a comintttee to re- port, notwithstanding what has taken piace. Ido net undertake to say what course this House wit take npon the close of the investigation, bat 1 will call the attention of the gentle- man from New York and the attention of this House to the fact that, in at least ove celebrated case In Washington where a party undertook to got out from the censure of the House by resignation the House did not permit it; byt notwitustanding he — had resigned, they to expel him his left Lora Tenterden, Secretary of the Filzh Conte by vole. It may be that this Mouse MASONI REE’ TIN mission,- Sir J - Mac and Colouet would bot take that course this matter, c G ‘ Gs. hard of the High Gomarlesion were also Invited, but but we are to remember that we have under our care as conservators of the rights and privileges of this House, the conduct of the gentleman from Clinton as well as the conduct of the gentleman trom. New York, who has just resigned his seat; therefore I call up the chairman of the special committee of in- vestigation to give to the House the resolution unanimously adopted in that committee this after- noon, @Mr. FieLps—The gentleman, I suppose, instances the case of Mr. Whittemore, of South Carolina, Mr. ALVORD—No, sir. Mr, Freips—Who, then? Mr. ALVoRD—The case of Mr. Matteson. Mr. Fixtps—The charge against Mr. Matteson, I think, was bribery moffce. Now, I should not have said a word If the gentieman from Onondaga had hot stated that Congress proceeded to the expulsion ofa member aiter his resignation. I undertake to say thatin the records of the Legislature of this State no man lias ever been expelled for a violation ot the rules of the House—an assault committed upon a fellow member—after he had apologized, and I undertake to say that in the House of Con- gress no man has ever been expelled for an assault committed upon a — member. The gentleman must be famihar with the fact that Mr. Kathbone, of this State, committed an assault upon an ex-Speaker of the House ol “on- gress, aud Congress did not vote for that offence to expe! lim, Te only case that IT have been able to find in the records of the Legislature of this State that bears at all upon this case is that of the vault, of Mr. McMurray, of New York, in the session ef 1543, in the presence of the a use, ana during its session, upon a gentleman by the name of Lee, from Orange county. ‘That assault was committed in the body of the House during its proceedings, in open day, and yet, although the committee came in with a unani- Thons report for expulston, after an apology the resolution of expulsion was amended to one of cen- sure, and thas amendment was adopted by the House of Assembly by a vote of 84to 27, That, sir, is the only instance J have so far found that pears on this question. Now, sir, the common law of Par- hament, as I have read it and understand it, 1s that a legislative body will not exercise its highest function of punishment, which 1s expulsion, upon one of its members, unless 1 be tor an offence which the courts of the country have the power to punish, Now, sir, in this case, this House knows ag well as 4 do, that though the resotution couples the name of the gentieman trom Clinton with that of Mr. Irving, and uf the gentleman from Onondaga will get up in hts piace and say that he believes the conduct of the gentleman from Clinton demands at the hands of this House such an investigation as Shall lead to the administration of any punishment n, #1”, L will be in favor of proceeding with tigation. But, sir, if it is simply to gratify @ morbid appetite, if itis simply to Keep this thing jn arritation before the Assembly and the people and to interlere with the legislation of the tstate, I suy that the gentientan trom Clinton should have an opportunity m the sessions of this House to say whether or not he, so far as he is concerned, desires the continuation of the investigation, if the gentleman from Onondaga or the gentleman from Clinton (Mr. Weed) says that this mvestigation should be continued against Mr. Weed, then, sir, [am ready to proceed against Mr. Wi butt that the jurisdiction of this House over the oe ommmitted by Mr. Irving ceases With his resignation, and 1! the investigation is co Unued against that party, and that party alone over whom the House has jurisdiction, | wait for the reply of the gentleman from Onondaga. Mr, ALVORD —It strikes me that ail this would be betier tn the committee than im the House, sprung as this whole thing has beea upon the House witi- out any knowledge on the part, Lventure to say, of ten of its embers, The SPrAKER—If the gentleman from Onondaga will give way the Chair will state that he had not any Knowledge of the intended resignation of Mr. Irving until within a few minutes before the opening of the House, and it was impossible that he matter should reach any one’s eyes until it it reached mine by the placing of the resignation in my hands, with the request that I woud present it to tne House, with the communication a Ang It, © Was no springing of matt iiouse or desire to taki tage of it. day as @ circuniwavigator of the globe, at this day, and in tlus town, there are perhaps a score of play actors aud actresses whose protessional travels have em- braced one, two, three or four voyages around the world. Here, tor instance, ts the veteran light and high comedian, Charlies Mathews, of whom, not very long ago, we were reading the Speeches and wil and fun at certain soctal reunions in London in his honor on the eve of nis departure tor distant Australla. Last night, after an absence from thts city of some thir- teen years, this same veteran actor, fresh and spark- ling as a vigorous man of forty, appeared for the iivrat time at the Fitth Aveuue theatre, having dropped in upon us from England by way of Ans- tralia, the Pactiic Ocean, San Francisco and the Pacific Railroad. Of course the pretty Fiftu Avenue Jeweiry box ofa theatre was Mlicd to overflowing with what we may cali t aristocracy of this great centre of cosmopolitan democracy, and @ very hearty welcome was given to the venerable yet Jnve- nile comedian, He 1s a wonderful man in his pre- servation. He is said to be older than Forrest, and yet he ts brisker than Wallack. We don’t suppose that Wallack ever will get beyond fifty, but here we nave Mathews, an oidish man before the Crimean war, restored to us in 1871 gay a3 _@ lark and fresh aud bracing 48 @ spriug morning with the wind trom the southwest. He appeared in two pieces last night—first in a lively comedy, m three acts, of which he ts the auinor, entitled *Marriet tor Moncy,’? the plot of which is suggested by the thle, and second, in “thaveccentric bit of comtcality,” a3 annouced in the bill, the amusing Itttle farce, in one act, written by Mr. Mathews, entitied ‘‘Pavter vs. Clatier. Like Boucicaalt he writes Is own plays; but his field 1s not the feld of Boucicault. Mathews never gocs outside the social atmosphere and his little tea patty in London; Soucicault roams over the whole world for his materials and his charac- ters, Mathews is eminenily a light-hearted, jovial, matter-of-fact author and actor. Boucicault 1s nothing if not sensational. While the one, content in his limited sphere of operations, has acquired a solid, world-wide reputation, the other, in grasping for too much, has lost the reputation which was fairly bis.¢ Mathews in acting bis own plays, the mere creatures of the passing hour, may be compared with Dickens reading his own stories, which will pass away with the living generation. If there ts more in the stories of Dickens than inthe plays of Mathews, there ts more in the acting of Mathews than there was in the reading of Dickens elements and social life represonted by Mathews are decidedly more agreeable than those of Dickens. Dickens, in his doubie vocation, was a lon, 1s Mathews in his. In the play of “Married for Money’ he appeared as Mr, Alfred Mopus, who married for money, who has @ pretiy daughter, who, it has been ar- rangea by Mra. Mopus, shall marry a gouty old teliow for money. In his own experience as a hen- pecked pater familias Mr. Mopus has had enough of this, and conspires with Bob Koyland and my lady's maid to carry off the prize from the gouty | old fellow, And to teil the truth, if we had Known that Mr. Mopus was the hero of the even- ing. we should have hit upon Pavidge (the oid Mellowboy) as the leading character and the gentie- man from San Francis Davidge is more strongly marked in his individuality than Mathe and yet Mathews is 80 very neat, 80 very quick, so exsy, so graceful, so natural, so funny and so irresisti- ble in the most commonplace remarks and tious that we cannot fail to recognize him perfect artist of a@ good ilfetime of study and praciice. Miss Linda Diets as Maulda, the young lady who has no noifon of marrying for money, Hills the role very charmingly, wile Miss Kate Newton, as that Simkins, has hardly ugh todo to bring out her fine capabilities. ‘The same maay be said of Mr. Parkes as young Bob Royland, the lortunate lover. His task is too easy to excite much attention from the actor or spectator. Without Mathews, m fact, the play wonld be @ poor thing; put with Mathews it 18 a beautiful specimen or high art in light comedy, As the theut- rical lion of the time, of course, every- body must say they have seen hin, and so Mr. Daly is sure ‘of a good run with the distinguished yonng veteran from Australia, At the end of the first play, last night, Mr. Mathews Was called out again and again, until he felt com- pelled to say something, and yet what he did say Was only an apology for saying nothing, when he might “have carried the house by storm wiih touch of his experience so far in his journey rew the world.

Reception of Earl de Grey, Grand Master of England. Interesting Ceremonies and Addresses of Friendship. A Grand Banquet at Music Hall. WASHINGTON, April 10, 1871, Perhaps no event of a purely social nature has occurred In Washington for many years exceiling in interest the reception this evening of Eari de Grey and Ripon, the Grand Master of Masons of Engiand, who is temporarily sojourning here as the chief, on the part of Great Britain, of the Joint High Commission for the adjudication of the Alabama claims and other questions between the United States and England. For the first time the Grana Master of England has visited this country, and the occasion has been taken advantage of by the brethren of the Mystic Tle to accord to him, as the representative of the fra- ternity across the waier, that recognition of frater- nal feeling which is the pride of Masons from what- soever quarter of Olristendom they may hail. Fol- lowing the unstinted hospitalities not many months stuce bestowed upon @ scion of the English Royal family, not only by President Grant and other officials here, but by the peoplo generally, the present spontaneous expression on the part of all Masons in good standing in the capital toward the representative man of that order in England may, perhaps, be considered to have a deeper significance, and for the reason that as chief commissioner coming into our midst bearing the olive branch, so that all differences between two kindred nations may be amicably adjusted, this present movement is in harmony = with the era of good feeling which it 1s #0 desirable to establish on both sides of the Atlan- uc, One notable feature of the evont 1s that itis unlike other public entertainments in this city, in being undimmed by a particle of sectional tecling or partisan prejadice. Men of all parties and trom all portions of the country joined in this demon- stration. TUE INVITATION.
