tC THR STATE CAPITAL, | Final Adjournment of the Legisiature. The Supply, General Tax and State Charity Bilis All Passed. i ” — et tendo Radannnee SCENES AT PARTING. Healing Up Old Party Differences With a Goodby. UST OF BILLS THAT FAILED. ALBANY, April 21, 1871, Precisely at twenty minutes to eight o'clock this evening the Legislature of 1871 peaceably ana quietly gave up the ghost, and was numbered among tho Worthless things of the past. Its death was unac- companied by aught that was violent or could dis- turb its miserable soul as tt took its Might to the realms of nothingness; and though hundreds as- sembled to pay the last sad rites to the ‘dear’ one 4m its last agony, there were but few réal mourners at the bedside, It lived but a brief time, yet it lived os long as it could—long enough to make its death more desirable than the prolongation of its miserable existence; and Bow that the course of legislative events has at last answered so many @ heartfelt prayer the people will doubtiess be able to breathe more freely. Still it had ITS GOOD QUALITIES im 8 party point of view, even if it had very many faults, It leaves behind it, it 1s true, no odor of Sanctity asa precious heirloom to those who aspire %o follow in the footsteps honest legislators have ‘trod; yet it bas taught a lesson to the hesitating, who believe.that all kinds of ends do not justify the means employed to carry a party measure, even when UNLOOKED-FOR CALAMITIES Tob a majority of its power. That will not soon be Yorgotten. In one thing it has proved true to the | Jatter day teachings of the party to which the greater number of its members belonged. To t all things else were as the ust before the wind, and with the people who gave birth to its ruling now Festa the question as to whether, in what it has done, it has followed the straight way which honest, upright men always follow. What things it really accomplished that the people ought to be grateful for. I leave for a future occasion to speak of; yet { will say beforehand that what can be said of it in this respect will occupy but o very. briet space indeed. ‘The final adjourn- ment of every Legislature, 1 dare say, is pretty Much the same kind of thing in every State, so I need not go into ecstasies as to the way the mem- bers of the Legislature, who ruled the roast in this State up to @ few minutes ago, reachod the end of thelr labors, The feeling of good humor created be- ‘ween the minority and the Majority last night at Vhe mock session did not aie out when the two honses reassemblea to-day, and every- thing passed of as merrily as a mar- Mage feast. There was no such thing as foe and friend. Everybody was everybody's friend, e883 Of both houses had been brought dewn to such a fine point yesterday, billa had been swept out of the way with such fearful rapidity, and Measures that ought never to have been introduced had bee: moggied dn the general rash with su puccess that fothiig was left fof. ether Senator Assembly to do to-day and to-night bat to '% zi square” with one another on the Supply, the Ap- bropriation and the Charity bills. No less than five adjourniments took place between noon aud sun- down before the Conference Committee could settle their little disputes about this, that and the other darling scheme cach house had hoped to pass Without attracting notice, and it was not unt ig after suudown that everybody bad agreed hat everything was lovely and deserving of generar gommendation. - Fa THE SUPPLY BILL Yor atime caused the biggest hich, but, after four bours of hard bickering ween the committees, a Successful culmination of the row was reached. As adopted the bill is less by $800,000'than that of last ear. Although it has some very questionable fca- res, Not the least of them 1s that appropriating $20,000 to Mrs. Washington “for relics left lym: around loose by the father of his country.” Ho ever, the coumitiees leit Judge Grover to de- cide whether he should get the small fortune or not, &nd, judging from the way the old man looks into things, It 1s very doubttul if the worthy lady, who it 18 alleged was a hearty rebel in Virginia during the Jate war, will ever be awarded a cent of the Amount she is Itching to get. ‘The bill was adopted by a vote of 69 to 22 1n the lower house, THE APPROPRIATION BILL, the amounts stated in which are nearly all fxed by Jaw, passed the ordeal witheut any trouble, but the Charity bill caused @ grow! between the two houses that at one time boied bad results, It was finally adopted by a vote of 22 to 4 in the Senate and by 96 to 20 inthe Assembly, Tweed had to withdraw his Motion this morning to have all the amounts cut down per cent, but Chapman was successful in carrying a reduction of twenty-ilve per cent on the entire bill. ‘This was the real cause of the growl be- tweed the conference committee, and a compromise ps eventualiy reached by which all Apprperianons ‘om $6,000 upwards should be cut down twenty- five per cent, This left the amount of the bill in ‘est! ut $760 were Wag @ good d , leal of FRIENDLY FERLING manifested towards the Speaker after the adjourn- ent, and amid the genera! bandshakings which lowed even the very men who had fought him on ty questions with & pam that was abso- ee ae went up to the desk and shook him eartily by the hand, and expressed the wisn that gones should be bygones.

Failure of the Attempt to Reopen the Scran- tou Mines—Attempt to Arouse National Prejudices Among the Miners—Another Evtort at Compromise—The Laborers Giving Way—Resumption of Work in the Wyoming | District. SCRANTON, Pa,, April 21, 1871, The effort mae yesterday to have some of the mines in this section put into operation proved a failure. A few men went into slope No. 4, belong- ing to the Lackawanna Coal and Iron Company, but remained only a short time. This morning the |; mine was entirely deserted, with the exception of a single miner, who entered the mine with Mr. W. W. Scranton, superintendent of the rolling mill, the former cutting coal and the latter loading it. Mr. Scranton was the bow oar of the Yale crew in their champion matches, and proved himself equal to the emergency of mine work ing. ¢ A dangerous scheme is on foot to create dissen- sions among the miners, and there seems to be sert- ous mtention of prosecuting It. A local paper of this morning makes @ violent attack upon the Welsh thiners, and has created a very bitter feeling among leading men of that nationality, Should the plan now in progress succeed in disintegrating the men from the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association it is probabie that that remedy for the complications in the coal business will prove worse than the disease, by bringing about a war of races, This programme is severely condemned by the people, and yet several prominent men in the community are actively engaged in fomenting this despicable species of domestic discord. Emfsaries are busy among the Welsh, Irish and Germans, mis- representing each, and striving to create distrust a dissension throughout the whole body of miners. An important movement took place among the miners to-day. There is an earnest desire among them to make reasonable terms with the employers, if possible. With this object in view the various districts met and appointed delegates to a conven- tion, which was in Session evening. This gathering will deliberate upon the expediency of making one more proposition to the companies, fix- ing the rate of wages at one dollar a diamond car. Such @ rate will be but fourteen cents advance wu the terms offered by the corporations and should be at once accepted by them, From the spirit revailing among the men it is certain that the con- vention Will decide to recommend such a propost- ton, ang there is much anxiety to ascertain how The companies wi nitertalh ie tommorrow oriole in the coal troubles 1s evidently near at hand, and there 1s increasing sbprecunten Now that the mipers are dis ibi a ing of concession and. Co chtaton i bone tae the companies will meet them in thé same friendly spirit, and such is the earnest desire of all in this community, Whether they will be reasonable toward the men in this great emergency remains to 1 beseen, Candidiy sj I do no 4 the if think there the slightest hope for believi ; He is Oy ct el a ressiv' 10} ys “ Fealings with the miners, °°" wt8ued In all helt in the Wyoming region b te of ou there are indications of Force aro oN? things.

Mr. Parish left for the East to make arrangements about bis transportations. With the mines of the Wyoming ion in full operation we may expect a change of the deadlock in other sections. A material influence will be brought to bear upon the questions which agitate the trade here. There is ~~ s hope that things will soon begin to Wear a mofe pleasant aspect, but itis dim and we must wait and see what a day will bring forth.

Alderman Mitchell had re. ceived a telegram from Michael to the effect that he would be on hand also. Tickets of tnvi- tation must have been scattered broadcast; for a stream of live voters poured over the gangway and hovered about the pier for the couple of hours pre- vious to starting for the trip. At about half-past one the lines were cast off, and the steamer, with the barges lashed on either side of her, shoved off like a triple monster into the stream, Loud huzzas greeted this event, accompanied by the hvely strains of Grafulla’s Band, Forthwith the serious business of the day commenced, There wees, at the very least, four thousand on board, and all of them SBKEMED TO HAVE BRBAKFASTED ON SALT FISH, 80 great was their thirst, There were tiree bars, one on each barge and one on the Sleepy Hollow, ; and these barely suficed. Lager flowed in amber streams, brandy gurgled forth copiously, and even the enlivening “pop’’ of the champagne bottle was hot wanting. Judges and Aldermen, ex and other- wise, were present in abundance. Young coun- sellors with distant hopes of promotion to the bench, petty politicians hoping to be big politica: hig politicians aspiring to be great ones swarm: in all directions, while the rank and file of the “boys” tilled up the list, For @ time all went smoothly, ‘ne balmy air seemed cooling to the assembled “bloods,” and prayers for the safety of the Senator mingled with the wreaths of sinoke which arose from four thousand cigars and two smokestacks. Alderman Geor itchell, well dressed and boa oustled about in his rdve of grand Marshal, and John Kelly, with his curls and chronic smile, was everywhere at thesame time, Big Judge Connolly looked the essence of contentment in the cabin, and in a gushing moment imparted to the HERALD reporter the fact that he it was who had rendered ¥’COMB’S DAM BRIDGE unsafe by walking over it in his daily walks. Judge James W. Fowler Kept looking for a personification of Mrs. Lane’s mu, and chat cheerily over the unsuccessful issue of the case, Judge Cox looked around for “‘Yocky,” who had jugt returned from hunting wp the guestion of female naturalization, A number of Aldermen grumbled over Common souncil matters, and were. glad that the “Boss” was coming to town again.

A penkuife served the place of a corkscrew, and almost in an instant the contents were inside of the innocents, Thia scene was repeated at least six tumes, each time with a growing circle of innocence. “You see,” observed Harry Hill, they “give it away toeach other. ‘They're cleaning out that bar.” By the time the seventh bottle was produced there were at least fifty boys present. Just then @ certain playfulness was imparted to their move- ments when @ youth appeared with a wooden box. hat the resuit of opening this case would have been can only be surmised; for officer Jobn Dunn, who was on board, suddenly ppeared in their midst.

An odor of CHOWDER WAS SMELLABLE EVERYWHERE, and this determined the matter, A favored few ‘were permitted to descend into the dark regions below deck and there partake of chowder, corned beef and champagne, while the very many attacked the chowder bars on the barges. 1n the gloomy re- gions below a number waited for the first set to fill themselves.

Accordingly, they crowded around the bir on the W.

The result was that, thongh the victuals were disappearing at lightning rate, the profits were small, One boy seized a ham bone with about a pound of meat on it, and thereby excited the envy and earned tho esteem of his compantons.

Loow—entered his office bright and early yesterday morning, bowing good naturedly, as usual, to his clerks. Suddenly he stopped and quickly he sniffed two sharp sniffs, He evidently smeltsomething. It Partitions were not quite finished; but no oil or wal- nut smelt like that! Gumbleton, the deputy cierk, had on his strongest spectacles and was writing away behind his desk. Mr. Loew looked at him and sniffed again. ‘Harry,’ quoth he, ‘‘you must have rubbed against John Kelly this morning. You smell like @ tea rose—just like John’s hair.” “Ah,” re- plied Harry, “how do ye do, Mr. County Clerk? I congratulate you, and wish you many returns of the day.

Around it was a@ wreath of evergreens and roses, and in& miniature boat depending from the cage was jandsomely arranged bouquet, The book- cases, wardrobes and door jambs were covered with vines of evergreens and fragrant dowers. ‘The tavle ‘and desks were covered with baskets of the choicest gems from the garden, and in a safe piace, on top of the safe, a massive basket was placed, which showed in handsomely arranged immortelles 1834—C, E, L.—1871. Near this was a picture of the County Clerk, most artistically hung and draped by Major Kent with American, German and Irish flags. Mr. Loew was dumbfoanded—not at being so old, but at receiving such @ hearty and unlooked-for tribute from those who served under him. It spoke volumes in his praise. No ball or torchlight procession could say 80 much, It was the exquisite, delicate and delecta- ble in nature, prepared by the refinement of art and presented by those who had reason io kiow the tem- perament of the receiver. The matter was speedily noised abroad, and during the day crowds poured in, Wishing the sweet scented clerk all sorts of hap- piness and prosperity. He could do little else than receive the callers, who numbered many of the leading professional and mercantile men of the city. Nobody exactly envies the present County Clerk, but many Wish they were Mr, Loew, AMUSEMENTS.

THE HAHNEMANN HosrrvaL BENEFIT.—A very in- teresting musical soirée was given at the Union League Theatre last evening for the benefit of the above deserving institution, The artists were Miss Simon, Miss Segur, Miss Davenport, Miss Tomlinson, Miss Munter, and Messrs. Rantein, Vilanova, Clark, Pognanski, Bergner and P. A. Rivarde. The pro- gramme comprisea selections from Schumann, Vieuxtemps, Rivarde, Bergner, Rossini. Gounod, Thomas, Liszt and Peznanski. The principal fea- ture was the brilliant’ rendering of Liszt’s tran- scription of the polonaise frem “Puritan” by Mr. Vilanova, who on this occasion fairly surpassed himself and surprised cven his ad- mairers, and their name is legion. He invests Liszt with @ peculiar grace and poetry entirely his own, and yet loses nothing of the nervous power that characterizes that composer's plano works. Again in the grand duo for violin and piano, the handiwork of Vieuxtemps and Wolff, he shared with Mr, Poz- nanski the honois of a true artistic rendition, ie other artists also acquitted themselves creditably and won deserved applause, The audience was of the usual -large and fashionabie kind that this little theatre 1s $0 famous for, and quite a handsome Sum was realized for the Hahnemann Hospital.

This afternoon the Zvening Star says:— The defeated Cea for Congressional dele- gate, Richard 'T. Merrick, Called on Governor Cooke, and, after the customary salutations, said he ace knowleaged his defeat like @ man, and as he had not been able to see General Chipman, the successful candidate, he would ask the Governor to extend his coimpiimencs to him. He could not congratuiate him ‘as he had done all he could to oppose his election; but he would say that iu view of the arduous work the successful candidate had before him he would otfer in benalf of the democracy of the District the proffer of their co-operation with him in any and everything which would beneflt the people of this disirict. He closed by bg | he had foughe thid camaratgn with ali the might he coutd, and he now emerged from it with no feeling of ill will or harsh- hess to any one. Governor Cooke replied that 1% would give him pleasure to communicate his meg+ gage to General Chipman, and it was doubly satis- factory to see @ deieated candidate honorably ac- necessity of such facilities to the government; that i they are necessary to our respectability and secu- rity in peace and our safety in war. The Secretary says:— I will hereafter endeavor to to yonr resointion, cama exe we we under your erations, for establishment of jines of ocean steainers, adapted, as far as may be, for commerce in time of peace and Jor naval militia in ume of war. He closes his letter in these words:— I cannot assume, even under tho sanction of your resoiution, to point outor recommend to what extent, in what manner, or under wi safe- ard the government should afford assistance to these objects, This is wholly for the representa- tives of the people, with whom 13 the power and the responsibility. Such a system as the Secretary foreshadows to come in nis next report to Congress is designed to give steamers and commerce to every ocean and port and protection to our coasts anu trade. Amended Regulations for the Transportation ef Bonded Merchandise. The fifth article of the regulations for the trans- portation of merchandise without appraisement, under the act of July 14, 1870, has been amended py the Secretary of the Treasury by adding thereto, at the end thereof, the following proviso:— Provided, That in case the route for transportation ig over railways of different gauge, or in part by railroad and in part by steamboat lines, special ap- plication for permission to use cars or boxes of such wize that they can be conveniently placed witht cs) ordlaary box {reight car will be considered by th department and granted in cases where the neces. sities of the business may require and galety to the Tevenue Will pernut, Such small cars or boxes must be made of iron, and in dimensions shall not be less | than turee feet in height, three feet in width and | five feet in length, and so constructed that the | merchandise can be conveyed thereio under Trea- | sury lock#, as required by law and regulations. Whenever duly authorized, such smali cars or boxes may, iu Case of break or difference of gauge of railways, be transferred or removed, with the con- tents thereo! intact, from one ordivary ratiroad car to another, and also from railroad cars to a steamboat, and vice versa, both forming parts of the same bonded line and route, The merchandise must not be unladen from such small cars or boxes which are not tobe either afana or unlocked be: 81 tween the ports of first arrival and of finai destina- ton. Such small cars or boxe’ containing goods in bond must, in case of railroad transportation, be conveyed inside of an ordinary box car, except the use of open platform cars be speciaily permitted by the department. Such small cars or cases may be used in the same manner and under like restructions as hereinbetore provided in cases Where the quantity of goods to be transported in bond shall not be tail and suilicient freight for a large or ordinary railroad freight car. Article seven is hereby amended so as not to require the dutiable value of each package to be set forth in the entry for inmediate;transportation, except in cases of single ackage Invoices, so that the dutiable value of each Invoice may be set forth in the entry (form A) pre- scribed in said articie seven, instead of the dutiable value of each package separately, unless a more de- tailed statement shall, in the judg it of the coi- Yector, become necessary and be required in special as ees es The seal locks have been furnished the Camdeq, and Amboy Railroad and the Boston and Providence At the session of the Southern Claims Commission to-day the claims of Hon. Benjamin-S. Turner, colored member of Congress from Alabama, and Waddy Thompson, a prominent citizen of Tennes- see, were considered by the Commissioners, Con- gressman Turner, in his evidence, stated that he was asiave at the outbreak of the rebellion, but purchased his time from his master and managed the business of both, His master went into the rebel army and Mr. Turner remained at Selma, where General Wiison found him in 1866 a pros- perous livery stable keeper and general trader, His horses were taken for the use of the cavalry, and for these he files a claim for $7,000, In the case of Waddy Thompson Senator Powell Clayton was the principal witness. The claim {s for a large quantity of corn furnished to the army in Arkansas, when for- age was very scarce, and Is one of the largest filed, amounting to over eighty-five thousand dollars. The Commissioners nave determined to publish, from time to time, the names and residences of all alleged loyal claimants, which is regarded not only as com- mendable, but as beneficial to the public interests to be protected, being under the impression that loy- alty is being mantiactured pretty extensively just now, and have resolved to detect the spurious arti. cle in every possible case by all practicable means.

Close of the Trial of Block tor the Murder of McKaig—Blovk Acquitied=Tue Verdict in Accordance With Public Sentiment. WASHINGTON, April 21, 1871. The NEw YORK HERALD spectal correspondent at Frederick, Md., telegraphs to-night a3 follows:— The trial of Harrison Crawford Block for killing Colonel W. W.

Use and Meening of the Lord’s Supper, Mr. Beecher commenced his lecture room talk last evening by saying that he wished to answer a few questions upon the sudject of the Lord’s supper. You will remember that this was a very simple, tender service that took place the might before the betrayal of our Lord, when He and His disciples met to celebrate the passover, the Most conspicuous of the three great festivals of the Jews, They were all Jews in feeling as well in nationality. Our Master worshipped according to the customs of His own people and seemed to be especially fond of the passover. At the close of the paschal supper Jesus took the unleavened bread and gave to each of the disciples @ piece as representative of the event that was to taxe place—His body broken; in the same way He took the wine cup that haa already been used tn the passover supper. It was simply ivins . te A NEW SIGNIFICANCE TO EMBLEMS already used, It will be perceived that our Master did not mstitute this ceremony, but grafted 1t upon aservice that pre-existed. It is in evidence that the early Christians, long before they were an or- ganized church, were accustomed to repeat this supper every miguts ue, earliest ae families were accnstomed to con- clude every meal by taking the bread and wine in remembrance of our Lord Jesus Christ. Atterwards the service was repeated weekly, and when greater nwubers of Christians gathered to- gether some were appointed to serve, though at first each one Parvogy Bs A we * i ew tosis OXDINARY MEAT, It was two hundred years before this service be. gan to bea sacrament, before it became “awful? and ‘solemn.’ The resurrection of Christ threw such @ Joyful light over His death that the meetings of the disciples were triumphantly glad; and unquestionably this was a service of reat cheer. Afterwards came the corruptions of fie Churcb, and men surrounded the sacrament with yarious ceremonies. Now it was the medium by which blessings were communicated; the laity ‘were permitied to partake only of the bread; thea the bread and wine were declared to be cl Te began t J vol a Bi ny ® service of of Christ, It an by ing simp! love, of memory. This was the precise meaning that the Master attached to it, “Do this im remem- brance of me.” This is all, and it is enough. It was meant to keep up the tender personal relation becween Christ and His deciples. The le prineple is very faniliar.
