WASHIN GTON, . atl Failure of the New Céisérvative Party ‘Movement. SCENT ee cilities for the Transportation of Bonded Merchandise, . Additional F State Officers’ Salaries Not Subject to Federal Taxation. Decision of the Supreme Court in the Legal Tender Cases. WASHINGTON, April 27; 1871, The New Party Movement. The movement among the revenue and civil ger- vice reformers in favor of Senator Trumbuil as the conzervative candidate for the Presidency 1s not be- Ueved to be as strong as certain newspapers tu the interest of the revenue reform party would seem to “ indicate.. Trumbull and Justice Davis, of the Su- Preme Court, both from Illinois, are regarded as rival candidates for the nomination of whatever Party will take them up. ‘Trumbull nas an idea that he can carve a new party organization ont of the democratic and republican parties on the basis of revenue and civil service reform, It does not appear, however, that the leading ‘politicians of elther party take to the new platform, especiaily the civil service part of it, They do not seem to think it practicable. In the meantime Senator Trumbull proposes, as soon 23 President Grant returns, to call upon him and urge that his civil service amendment to the Deficiency Appropriation bill passed at the last session be put into practical operation. The matter 1s left to the discretion of the President, and it remains to be | seen whether he will pay any attention to it. Important Treasury Decisions, The Treasury Department to-day published a Bynopels of sundry decisions rendered by the de- partment during the month of March last, and of which the following are the most important:— ‘The following rates of arawback will be allowed on the ex- Portation of the articles hereinafter named, manufactured ‘lala on which duty was paid under the tariff m the products of sugar-—On refined crysi \d @ baif cents per pound; on refined soft, B wer grade sugar, two cents per pound; on syrup’ of Sugar, sugar house moluases, five cents per gallon. in the products of molasses—-On New England rum, five and a quarter cents rer gallon; on syrup from molusee: four ceuts per gallon ; on sugar from moiaases, one cent per und, All allowances uncer the above rates to be subject ‘the legal deduction of ten per cent.

The Jaw authorizing the transportation of im- ported goods without appraisement, passed July 14, 1870, restricted the Secretary of the Treasury to bonding only such routes as could transport goods direct from the point of landing to the place of de- livery; consequently the Erie Raiiroad and the Baitl- more and Ohio Ratiroad Companies were excluded from competing with other lines in forwarding foods under the provisions of that act. To remedy this inequality in the law Congress at its last session amended the original act so as to provide that, in case of difference in width of guage of connecting railroads, goods might be transferred to the cars of another route, under such regulations as should be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. In accordance with this authority the following was to-day issued by Acting Secretary Richardson, and will go into effect immedtately:— TREAGURY DEPARTHENT, April 23, 187 “An act to reduce Internal taxes, and, for a approved July, hb hi Srachad.s by an act approved Aprit 20, [871 by adding to the Jant clause of the thirty-seeand scction of sal actof July M4.

It has been stated that the decision of the Supreme Court in regard to the legal tender cases would be announced on Monday next, but it is now posi- tively ascertained that the opinions of the majority and minority of the court will not then be read; they’ will be reserved for the atjonrpe? term, which commences October 16, It ig under stood, however, that an Glabdrate opinion will be read on Mondaj, announcing the unanimous decision of the Court on a collateral point, sustaining the validity of gold contracts made since the passage of the Legal Tender act of 1862, There seems to be no reason to doubt that a majonty of the court, consisting of Justices Miller, Swayne, MOVENENTS OF THE PRESIDENT.

Fight—Large aed Appreciative Audicnce=— Sparring and Singing. Masonio Hall, Thirteenth street, between Third ond Fourth avenues, was the scene of considerable excitement last night, it being the occasion of the complimentary exhibition to Joe Coburn, who is matched to fight Jem Mace for the championship Davis, Strong and Bradley, will affirm the constitu. [of the heavy weights and $2,000 a side, in Canada, Monality of the said Legal Tender act and dectde j-the 11th of May next, To say that tne hall was that contracts made before the war, im whicn no | crowded would be to feebly express the packed special kind of money was mentioned, may be ful- filled by the payment of greenbacks. The minority, consisting of Chief Justice Chase and Justices Nel- son, Field and Cilfford, will dissent from this de- ctsion and declare that in their opinion the Legal Tender act cannot constitutionally apply to any such contracts. Several important cases which have been argued this term will not be decided until after the expira- tion of the recesi, among which is one from the Cireutt Court of Kentucky involving the question of the constituttonality of the so-called “Drake amend- ment,” relating to.the effect of pardons in the Court of Claims, and will be held under advisement until October, and so algo will be the case of Watson et al, vs. Jones et al. involving a decision of the disputed rights to-property of the Presbyterian Church, North and South, The latter case, coming from Kentucky, has been very elaborately argued by an imposing ar- ray of distinguished counsel on both sides, but hopes are entertained that the aifferences will be accom- modated and an amicable settlement effected by the General Assembites of the two Churches this sum- mer, and it 1s probably in chis view that the Sapreme Court reserves tts decision, ‘The case of White vs, Hart et al., on appeal from the Supreme Court of Georgia, involving the binding force of notes given for slaves before the issuance of the emanctpation proclamation, will not be decided until the argument is neard tn the simt- similar case of Holmes vs. Seiver, on appeal from the Circuit Court of Arkansas, which will not pro- bably be reached before December next. The de- cision in the former case will turn upon the ques- tion whether the provision of the Georgia constitu- don prohibiting the enforcement of any debt the consideration of which was a slave or slaves, or the hire thereof, is in contravention of the article of the: constitution which declares that no State snail make any law Impairing the obligation of contract, ‘The decision of the Supreme Court rendered a few weeks ago in a case in which a note for.slaves was concerned was determined by other considerations, and the impression prevalent 1a some quarters that the foregoing question was then decided 1s therefore erroneous, The Joint Hizh Commission. The Joist High Commission having yesterday taken a recess till next Wednesday, 1t is presumed that the interval will be occupied in breparyg the necessary drafts for the Commission and re- ducing to shape the results of the negotia- Uons as far as they have gone. In other words, nature of the seats and every available foot of stand- ing room; i$ was jammed by an appreciative audience, There were cetainly 700 persons present. Friends and foes were there altke, the former to attest thelr appreciation of the beneficiary by demonstrations . of applause, and the latter to note his condition and take stock in other particulars, Many were unable to obtain admittance, and it seemed to be the uni- versal opinion that Coburn had ill advisers when he aoceded to the requests of triends and engaged this hall. Such was the nature of the crowd that many of the sparring fraternity could not wedge their way through it to comply with the demand ot hundreds to put on the gloves. On either side of the stage, snugly esconced bebind partitions, were a select few of Coburn’s intimate acquaintances, who had an ex- cellent view of the proceedings. John Grindeil, once renowned ten mile runner, was appointed master of ceremonies, and did his work wal Pro- fessor Bill Tovee was not seen. The first incident on the night’s programme was the coming together of Amos Saunders and Young Farrell, who, though not tlrst class adepts with the Mittens, struck a and left with such will and maintained so much good humor that atter the third round they departed with applause. Tom Nesbitt, a young lad, thick-set and of im- mense strength, and Ned Tuotey, both of Brooklyn, came on next and delighted the concourse with their effective work, It was no child’s play, but earnest, quick, slogging business from the commencement, and when the third round had been finished they de- barted 1n‘o private life with faces and bodies quite Qs Ted ag the shirts they wore, Pat McGovern, @ young man without shirt collar, living on the east side of the town, engaged in business daily ana of exceeding modest demeunor, 1m turn deignted the auditory with characteristic songs. He was well received and repeatedly re- called, Mickey Coburn, brother of Joe, and a young ‘un, Biliy Madden, followed the vocalist and did light work for three rounds, much to the gratification of ‘tose thirsting for thumping sights. Grindell now advanced to the footlights and beg- ged the sparrers “to waik ap to the captain’s omice;? but not being greeted with the sight of such, announced that “Bill Jacke, the Slugger of tne Seventh ward,” wanted to deprive Hoboken Clipper of what spare breath ne had. Hoboken kept dark, but soon Mr. McClellan, an ambitious gentleman with huge mous- tache, agreed to accommodate the Slogger, and the: appeared amid applause. This, for absence of skull, downright slugging work, and utter ignorance of the rudiments of the art of self-defence, was supe- rior to any like exhibition ever seen. But it was comical and vindictive; so much so, that the audi- ence roared with Jaughter. These massive youths banged away at each other’s heads, chesis and bodies until the ‘good thmg"? had almost become monotonous, when the Slugger, by a well directed blow, tumbied McUlellan iio the corner limp as & dishcloth, and they departed, McGovern vocalized a little more, when the event though the general principles of a settlement have been agreed upon, the plan has not yet acquired form. There is little 1f any doubt that the fisheries ang the navigation of the canals and the river St. Lawrence have been considered as separate ques- tions; but the details have not been arranged. These subjects, together with the principles on which the claims against Great Britain are to be settied, and the arbitration of the San Juan ques- tiou, will all be embraced in one treaty to be sub- mitted to the Senate. A Charming Social Event—‘ligh Dignitaries and Private Theatricals. The British members of the Joint High Com- mission attended private theatricals given this evening at the residence of Mrs, Wise, on G@ street, The company numbered upwards of three hundred persons, the eréme de la créme of Washington society. Tue President's wife and daughter, members of the Cabinet, Senators, eminent civilians were among those present, The tolleites of the ladies were of the most elaborate description, and were fully as beautiful as any seen at the receptions this season at the Execu- tive Mansion. The entertainment was for the bene- fit of the children of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Or- phan Asylum in this city, and realized over $700. Claims of Soutzern Loyalists. The Southern Ciaims Commission to-day con- sidered the clatms of Mrs. Margaret Bodin, George W. Mitchell and George Trimmers, all of Manassas, Va., for various descriptions of supplies taken by the United States troops of Blenker’s division in 1861 and 1862, amounting in the aggregate to $11,503 20, Thus far there have been some five hundred claims filed before the Commis- sion, amounting on paper to two and a half millon dollars. Of this number and this amount itis not probable that a twentieth part will be allowed, un- less Congress hereafter extends the exist.ng laws so as to compensate loyal people in all the States for damages or depredations suffered by them during the occupancy of their neighborhoods by the United Biates army, instead of confining the compensation, as now, to cases where stores or supplies were actu- ally remitted for the use of the army. Iluess of James M. Mason. A despatch from Alexandria, Va., dated this evening, says James M. Mason, of Virginia, ex-Con- federate Mmister to England, is not expected to live through to-night, His disease 1s general nervous rostration. fe Health of Treaenrer Spinner. Treasurer Spinner is still infeevle health. Having had a chill last night, he remained in his house to- day, but is sald to be now improving. Important Pateut se Decided. In the interference case between the application of John Riley, of Troy, New York, for a composition for casting steam boliers, and a patent granted to A. C. Bauman, of New York city, for a similar patent, on appeal from the Board of Examiners 1n Chief, the decision of the Board awarding the priority of invention to Riley has been sustamed by the Acting Assistant Commissioner of Patents. The New Lonn—Treasury Balances. Subscriptions to the new loan to-day, $165,000, Balance in the Treasury at the close oJ business to- day:—Coin, $106,599,000; currency, $9,745,000; coin certificates, $21,253. \Cotonge of the United States Miuta. of the evening took Eee wind-up between Coburn and Professor Bill Clark. Tne latter is heavy and fat and big wind is short, but he is a master of le art of boxing, and nove dare play with him when the mittens are on. The appeurance of Uo- burn was well applauded. Each was dressed in white slurt and @rawers, the latter crag in position by scarfs at the waist, Joe's being of green color, Clark’s of white, with ends tipped with red. Copurn appears, so far as it was practicable to observe, in excellent condition; no superfinous flesh apout his chest or Joina, and his face has algo been got down finely. After Sb audience were Kindly tianked for their prescuce tifese two adepts shook hands, and in good siyle showered each otner with blows. Heavy work, necessarliy, was not attempted, but the exhibition of their skill was well applauded. ‘The show broke up at halt-past nine o'clock. O'GALDWIN THE BRUISER.

LAWRENCE, Mass., April 27, 1871, MAMUPETS, CUUriuueu w wens ve Sigetweee eee Imprisoument, less a deduction of as many days (granted because of good conduct}, at the Essex County Jail to-day. During his imprisonment efforts were made to have him pardoned, but all proved unavailing till about two or three months since, when Governor Clafin offered him @ pardon on condition that he would leave the State forever. This O’Baldwin refused to accept, | and he remained in durance till the ex- piration of bis term. At quite an early hour bree of O'Baldwin’s friends, viz., Joho Shea, Hugh Carey, of Salem, and James Grimn, the pedestrian, visited the jail, and at half-past seven o’clock O’Baldwin was formally released from the custody of the Sheriff of the county and was warmly congratulated by his friends, He appearea to have lost very little flesh during his jong confinement, and, with the exception of an Pemidonal attack of colic, he has enjoyed ex- cellent health, With regard a his cepensuce he has very little to 4 ie ins cred in the cook shop, whieh | position was more agreeable than many in ineyai, as greater liberty was permitted, and the men who worked there were allowed to converse with each other.

Opening of the American Museum of Natural ~ History—The Birds, Beasts, Fishes, Rep- tiles, Shells, Insects and Skele- tons on Exhib tion. Yesterday the American Museum of Natnral History was opened by a private reception given to ®@ number of invited guests. ‘The fact that New York at last possesses a museum in this branch of which even in its infancy it may well be proud is something on which the metropolis of the United States may congratulate itself. The want of such a museum was long keenly felt by such of our cliizens who, travelling abroad, had an opportunity of view- ing and admiring the collections gathered by the sovereigns of Europe in their capitals and guardea with jealous care by their savans. Not merely that, but when a denizen of Chicago, Wash- ington, Philadelphia, the Hub of the junk cart of the egotism invariably followed our shame-faced ad- mission that New York was destitute in the natural history particular. But New York, like Brougham's schoolmaster, has been “abroad,” and the result, 1n baby form, was seen yesterday. What it will be in a few years, when it attatns to man’s estate, will duly be heralded to the world in general and bamp- tious Boston in particular. As it is, BOSTON’S SENILE COLLECTION has been distanced in a day, ‘The weather yester.Jay was of that very unenjoy- able sort which tends to diminish the attendance of the public on such occasions. Tne morning dawned threateningly with an overcast leaden sky, and by one o’clock the rain commenced descending. Tne private reception was marked to take place between the hours of three and six in the afternoon, and for half an hour previous tothe former hour a pluvial torrent was descending which gladdened nobody in the Arsenal bullding, Central Park, except Professor Draper, of the Meteorological Department, who overflows With happiness when any of the climatic stance he regarded his self-registering rain guage with 4 MORBIDLY DELIGHTED EYS, The invited guests were far from sharing his fecl- ings. It did not make much matter to a great many of them, for their carriages rolled down the siopa from Fifth avenue by the cages of the bears as if it Was a fine midsumnier's day. ‘The company, there- fore, stramed, as it were, through a rain’ storm sieve, was of the very élice. Captain Mills, of the Park police, clad in his handsome light gray unt- form, sheltered himself in the eutry amd looked as cheerful as possible. Within the building order seemed suddenly to have sprung out of the almost chaos which existed | in it a few weeks ago. ‘i'o Professor Albert S. Bick- more and his accomplished assistant, Dr. Holder, \he credit of this pleasing state of things is well due. In an article on the Centra! Park which appeared in the HERALD two weeks ago a passing description of the museum as tt then appeared was given. The folowing notes on THE ARRANGEMENT AND CLASSIFICATION of the syecimens wiil convey an idea of the pains taken by the Executive Committee to’nave the mu- seum at once oven to the public. No catalogues have yet been prepared. Indeed, in consequence of the overcrowded state of the cages, it Would be at Present comparatively worthless to tie OSS Visitor, The best possible has been done under the circumstances, and some six or eight additional Poon rod belng constructed, will do away with the culty. The two large stands, one on the first floor and the other on the floor above, were not laden with chotce Howers as intended owing to some sioth or neglect on the part or those having the matter in charge, and hence an agreeable feature was missing. ‘Ine fine marbie statue of Columbus stood to the left of the entrance on the first foor, while @ bronze or bronzed figure of Washington looked bilious and dissatisfied on the right, In the first gallery of the museum proper there ars eight horizontal cascs, which take up the centre of the room. These are made of but- ternut wood, glazed with plate glass. They are fitted with sets of drawers underneath, in which duplicates of the objects exhibited wili be kept tor the use of students of the various branches of ento- Tad ogy and conchology. Iu this gallery are also fourteen upright cases ranged round the room. The Speciinens are ranged so as to follow the advancing scales of being. Commencing with the upright | cases on the; righthand side of the room, in the first case will be observed the zoophytes, Including SOME BEAUTIFUL BLEACHED SPECIMENS of brain coral, the astras, or star coral, and gor- gonias, or fan and feather coral, These last are par- Ucuiarly curious in their resemblsnce to large pea- cock feathers, In the second case are a fine Tisha of madrepores, or leaf coral and branco coral ere x s <eibiant whiteness, the third case are. ala aetfiaety At ; is repared Lies, many Of them most cliriously built.

This 18 acase to make one feel uncomfortable. Snakes coiled and curied in all their brilliancy of color, lizards of the most forbid- ding varieties, and toads of gigantic @ mensions, furnish food for @ very respectable nightmare. ‘The sixth case contains a group of North and South American birds, many of them such as are rareiy seen here, even in show cases, such a8 the scarlet ibis and the tall famingo from Brazil. In the seventh case are a collection of seals of all sizes. There Will be noticed the hooded sea! and the sea lion, with @ family of baby seals; snarks of many varieties, hammer-beaded and bottie-nosed; crocodiles from the Nile and huge boa consirictors as thick as @ man’s arm; raitiesnakes and other ; the Cre PIKE OF THE MISSISSIPPI, and his smaller brother of the Nile, The eighth | ne exhibits that quaint animal, the great | ant-eater; grizzly bears and Polar bears, which Arclic foxes, are white as snow.

Boorn's—“A WINTER'S TALR.”—That Mr. Booth has lavished upon this enticing Shakspearian Tomance all the wealth and care that art, backed by Uberal means, can supply, has been now fully es- tablished; for every minute detail in the ever changing scenes is given with a completeness that leaves nothing to be desired. Mrs. Ada Clifton Mollenhauer, as the wronged wife of the Jealous Sicilian monarch, displays much of the earnestness and consciousness of innocence that we would look for in such a trying character, but litte of that queenly dignity whicn never rises into such grandeur as when roused by insult and false imputation. Before the tribunal of justice, where the queen becomes the central figure, and even be- fore the oracie pronounces her Innocence, she awes almost into silence the insaue ousy of Leontes; there was an absence of pow , that In, Geseribable attribute of —lustrionic ’ genius which influence on the the scene of halt interest, Pateman lacks the winsome grace and ‘ender trustfulness of manner that make Perdita the loveliest of Shak- | Sbeare's creations. Both those noble female charac- ters, oO unlike and gv charming, are probably the mort dificult to find competent representatives for, and talent and stage experience that Would suilice to invest other better Known and (a8 may be erro- neousiy cousidered) more ambitious réles with all the attributes of success often fail to make Hermione and Perdita anything above the commonplace, Mr. Lawrence Barrett, as Leontes, fully sustains his hard earned reputation as a sterling, conscientious actor, and even in the passionate outbursts of a Jedious mind he never forgot the pga of @ mon- arch. He Js always & weldome artist on huy boaids, and Mr. Booth dias in him one actor that at least never disappoints expectation. We cannot say the ‘ame of Mr. Sheridan, who plays Polyxenes, With ‘alr share of real talent lie has unfortunately An undue proportion of roughness of manner and litte appreciation of the nvances of expression Without which @ role loses much of its Interest. 'The best in the entire cast without exception 1s Mr. Mark ‘Smith, who played the jolly rogue, Antolycus, with an abandon and humor that was delicious. Ot the other characters We can ouly mention Florizel (Mr. Pitou), a8 a remarkable instance of unfitness | on the part of the genieman to make the gou of Polyxenes anything better than a pastoral Lord Dundreary, With the exception of these weak- nesses in the cast we may say with contidence that never before was “A Whiter’s Tale” placed upon the stage with such completeness and lberailty; and in its production Mr. Booth has added another Wreath to the chaplets hung up by nim in the temple or fame. Unio League THEaTRE,—The Amateur Musical and Dramatic Entertainment was well attended at the Union League theatre Wednesday evening, the splen- id hall beiug filled to its utmost capactty by a highiy intelligent audience, The amusements commenced with Madison Morton's farce, “Betsy Baker,” which isextremely Janghable. Four tictitious personuges Jorm the cast for this plece—Mr. Marmaduke mofer, Mrs. Mouser, Mr. Crummy and the enchant- ing Betsy, Mouser’s wife declares he 1s too atten: tive, “by half,” to her, and a plot is gotten up by Crummy to make her jealousof him. Crum- My agrees to give Betsy a plot of land and a house Mf she can succeed in inducing Mouser to make some advances to her. Mouser swallowed the bait held out to him by Betsy, wnom he ieft ina dark room while he went to a side door, and when he returned he found his wife present, who, becoming acquainted with his actions, slaps his face aud retires on ber dignity, but returns in a few minutes and finds ghe has been the subject of dn immense joke. Next fol- lowed the great treat of the evening. Mr. Charles n. Pratt played “Fra Diavolo” on the piano in good style and Mrs. Eugene Cruger rendered the song, “Walting,” excetiently, Mr. George W. Herbert periormed two solos on the vio- lin, “Au Village” and “Chant d’Amour,” tor which he received repeated applause. Mr. W. Leggatt next sang Verdi's “‘Komanza and Aria Bravura,” his rich, mellow voice seeming to All tne hall. He subsequently sang a Guet with Mme, Cruger from Gounod’s just,” entitled “Tardi si fa Addio,”” in which they Voth acquitted themselves to tue entire satisiaction of ther audience. The burlesque “Leah,” writen by Wiiliam Routledge, followed, and, considering 1t was the first time it had been 5 THE COAL TROUBLES, The Companies Refuse to Negotiate, Minors Becoming De:parate—Deprossion of Busl- nezs—Merchants on the Verge of Bank ruptey—Both Parties Detorminad to Continue the Struggle, . Scranton, Pa., April 27, 1871, A meeting of the directors of the three companies was held here to-day, They decline to meet the committee of miners, stating that local officers wilt receive communications should the miners have any to make, The miners will meet to-morrow in secret session. Z A dnving, pitiless storm to-day haa added to the | gloom and general despondency into which the cny bas been plunged by this refusal of the companies to enter upon a fair compromise with the mincrs, A most disagreeable feeling has been crested by this action of the corporations, which may break out in & manner which It 18 lesé pleasant to contemplate, That the miners are being forced into desperate straits by their powerful and unrelenting opponents cannot be denied; that the business men in this community , STAND UPON THE BRINK OF RUIN 1s equally certain, aud now the question naturally 1s, what 1s to be done in the emergency? There seems tobe no way out of the complications, for the present at any rate, and the great public may be regarded as so many spectators of @ contest between the gladiators, straining every —- nerve for victory. It Drobuble thas — thig State of things will contmue some time longer, as no impression can be made on the great companies until coal begins to move from other quarters, They have pluced themselves sqaurely before the people DETERMINED NOT TO YIELD thetr mea a fair rate of wayes, and there Is hittie 2 change, except under the pres- hope that they w Sure of an irrcsis) public seutiment or the incen= Uves of cupidity, The former should be applted to thein at once, Bince it is a matter of notoriety that they propose to uitimately increase wages te the Men will grant them a partial indication of the! course by going to work ad the reduction propos last Novemver, the only apparent question with them is the gratiication of a persoual spite against the Miners’ Union, and such a sentiment should nob be tolerated a moment.

The miner spends wiat he makes here, and the More wages he has the more money he puts into circulation 1n his immediate community, THR PROFITS OF THE COMPANIES are expended avroad and their earnings do not really benefit this locality, except as they pass through the hands of the working people. Hence have the business men carried the miners so long and so checriuly. The tradespeople and miners are in the same boat, aad if one sinks the other must go too, They cannot break away from each otner, and the course of the companies is baa 3 to involve the buisiness community and miners in one common Tun, How far ol¥ this result may be it is not possie bie to say, but it 1s evident that in the general wreck the autiors of the evil cannot hope to escape, For the present, then, no important movement will take place, There wili be no trouble unless piect itated by the agents of the corporations, There will be no breakieg away trom ailegiance to the Miners?
