Cabinet Mecting. ‘There was a Cabinet meeting to-day for the first time in several weeks. Every department was re- presented excepting the War Department. It is un- derstood that routine business only was transacted, The Legal Tender Deciston. The decision of the Supreme Court yesterday, a@Mrming the validity of contracts for payment of specific weights of gold in coined money was based upon @ case appealed from the Supreme Court of Michigan, which presented an instance of singular provision and caution. The action in the court below ‘Was brought to recover rent upon a lease executed 4n 1828 for the term of 100 years, on whicn the yearly Rent reserved was four ounces, two pennyweights an@® twelve grains of pure gold in coined money, payaple quarterly. The State Court, instead of giving jndgment for the rent and imerest in coined money, gave judgment for the market value in United States notes of the coined money, but the Supreme Court reversed this judgment and held that payment must be made in coined gold money. Roundary Between Hayti and St. Domingo. The Maytien Minister has been autherized by his government to state that Hayti does not desire to Conquer and coutrol the Dominican republic, but that ita only object is to establish the boundary line between Hayti and Dominica. It wouid be pleased if the boundary line could be guaranteed by the government of the United states. The Haytien Minister here has had the report of the St. Domingo Gommusioners transtated into the French language, with a view of distribiting it in that form in Hayti and in Europe. Ben Butier’s Suc-ess as a Divorce Lawyer. Some time ago Mrs, Pomeroy, wife of the some- what famous “Brick” Pomeroy, applied to Ben Butler to actas her counsel in securing a divorce from her husband. Butler, of course, consented. As soon as Brick came to know that Butler had been employed in the case he directed his lawyer to compromise the case by offering to pay Mrs. Pomeroy $20,000 and $600 a year. Upon being in- formed of this Butler addressed the following letter to a gentleman in New York, employed-as associate eounsel for Mrs, Pomeroy:— ¥ Wasnincron, ApriNg, 1871. y DEAR S1R—I have tho honor to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your letter of April 15, 1871, informing me of your connection with the case of M.'

Six souls were, without @ word of warning, ushered into eternity, and their slaughtered bodies afterwards consumed in the flames of their burnmg home, The outrage occurred in Morgan township, on the border of McDowell county, and 1s as follows:. Silas Weston, a free negro before the war, has for many years been living with Polly Steadman, a white woman of loose character. Polly has or had four children, white, the eldest about fourtecn, the Youngest nearly two years of age. SILAS AND “POLLY ved peaceably together, and were in better circum- stances than, most of their class, Some time-ago three notorious characters—Govan and Columbus Adair and M, Bernara—were charged with the theft of a quantity of brandy and bound over at McDowell County Court. Silas had seen the thieves carrying off the booty, and was subpcened as the principal ‘Witness for the prosecution. The Adairs threatened his life #f he peached, but Silas expressed a deter- mination.to bring the rogues to justice, What we now proceed to state is THE SWORN DEPOSITION of the woman, Polly Steadman:—On Wednesday evening, April 26, shortly after nightfall, while the family were preparing to retire to peaceful repose, the dog began to bark violently. Polly, looking through the chinks between the logs, received a Pistol bullet in the eye. With a wild scream she Sprang back, and at that instant the door was brok en down and in rushed Govan Adair, Columbus Adatr and Bernard, FIRING AS THEY CAME, Silas fell dead, with two balls m the head. One of the assassins stood over the children as they lay upon the floor, shooting them through the head like 80 many pigs. Polly stooped to creep under the bed, bat was flung back. Then she. began to fignt like a tigress, One of the butchers attacked her with a knife, Finally, With five deep cuts on the body, with her throat deeply gashed and @pistol shot through the eye, this poor creature Bank to the floor and. was Heked tuno'a Pile of broom straw preparatory to THE GRAND AUTO DA FE, Meanwhile every voice in the family had been Stilled. Six lifeless bodies lay op the bloody noor— the old man on the hearth, the mother haggled in pieces on the straw, and the childien in thelr night clothes, lying where they fell—all had been jostled by rude feet. The fiends contemplated their woik, to make sure 1t had been done thoroughly, and pre- pared to hide their tracks, Piling a clowning, straw and other combustible matter they applied the match, and then, with an inetfacabie stalu on their souls, fed away into the darkness, A MOTHER'S DEVOTION, And now occurred what may well sound marvel- lous. Polly Steadman, scorched by the flames, arouses herself, seizes her youngest child, who gives signs of life, and, crawling towards the ‘door, tries to drag out another cnild,-but nature falls, and the 5 rs the distanc oe re a maile to the residence of Mrs. Williams, THE ALARM. It 1s too late, Three bieached skeletons grin from the ashes, and a blistered corpse lay without the door. -A8 soon ag possible messengers were de- t 1D spatched for Sherif Walker and for medical assist- alice; but before either arrived Polly, supposing lier. self in the last agony of death, golemniy testified agatust the murderers, She knew them well; the: Were her pear neighbors, and were not discuised. Her testamony wan so clear and positive it carried conviction to all who heard it, Accordingly Squire Hanes promptly issued a warrant for TRE Al of the suspected parties, wey Were found at home, one of them in bed, (ough aoe the day, Sheriit Walker arrived shortly at ‘afd and conveyed the prisoners to this place, where they are closcly con- ined. Commenting.on this hormble affair, it is proper to state with emphasis that all the parties are of the lowest order_of suciety, and that all of them, the slain and the Slayers, are radicals of the deepest dye. The Adairs for years have attended the polls for no other purpose than to insult and intimidate conservative voters. So “trooly loll’? prs Joi ag even dor ae in their’ hearts ght to make the deed redound f benefit of their party. slg THE TROTTING 1URF, Closing ef the Entries for the Spring Trot. ting Meeting at Prospect Park Fair Grounds. The Hoffman House was largely attended last night by the owners of trotting horses. The entries for the purses to be given by the proprietors of the Prospect Park Fair Grounds had to close at that Place at nine o'clock. and long before the hour named gentlemen from all sections of the country were busily preparing their entries and depositing them in the box. Much anxtety and impatience was mantfested, as the time approached for Opening the box, to ascertain the names of the contestants for the various prizes offered; and as soon as the entry box was opened and the names of the horses an- nounced in the different classes took place there ‘was considerable speculation as to the Probable winners, The purses ali filled well, with’ one excep- ion, as will be seen oy the annexed list:— JUNE 6—Purse No. 1.4750 for horsce that h beaten three minntes, to th hse hd and $100 to third horse. © Brat, 9260 to the second Dan’!

Nis10's.—"‘As You Like Ir.”"—The announcement that Jem Mace was to appear in the character of Charles, the Wrestler, supported by E. L. Davenport as Jacques, and C. R. Thomas, Jr., as Orlando, did not crowd this theatre last night as much as was expected. Many of the muscular brotherhood (who attended in numbers) evinced a lamentable want of Shakspearian reading, for they arrived long after Onarles the Wrestler had been laid out by Orlando, and retired early, thoroughly disgusted. Mr. Mace’s rendering of bis part. was hone Drees and gives great promise i‘ mere uUCgess! nat Nort on another stage. THe J90! ee Be ath aD i ae up Was much scrutinized, tood with fold ed arms by the Duke Frederick (Harry Moreland), looked a perf t statue, with the ‘corded muscles standing bol ta out on leg, thigh and arm, He spoke fits lines as became & man who depended more on hig biceps than his tongaé. Ic was curious that the audience did not mentally compare him with Thorne as Orlando, but rather with Or- lando as Joo Coburn, Enough to say eat after = whiriin, the comparatively stalwa Thorne aroun the stage for @& ‘few min- utes, he graciously permitted the latter to throw hin on his back, and afterwards allowed four sol- dier supes to test the fineness of his training by car- rying fim off. It is needless to add that an appre: clative audience recalled the smiling aud modest gladiator twice. Turning from Shakspeare, as illus. trated by tis pet of the P. R., we will be excused for casting a glance at the other characters of this exquisite comedy. The Rosalind of theevening was Miss Rose Kvans, a wild flower from the Pacific shores, In this little lady, with her young, fresh face, her fine form and finer grace and surprising ower, to be called forth at will, the ew York stage has gained a great acquisition. Her playing throughout — was marked by an arch grace, in which womanly re- serve was never overstepped through ail the chang- ing phases of the piece. ‘The mock love scene with Orlando was perfect, and called forth genuine plau- dits. She does not pose 80 much as Mrs, Scott- Siddons in this part, and there 1g @ freshness about the rendering which is all natural. he public wil) want to hear her again. Mr. Thorne’s Orlando was manly and vigorous, The role of the melancholy philosopher, Jacques, which is of so little use to the plot, and yet which holds such a sympa- thetic grasp on an audience, was rendered in Mr avenport’s finest manner. ‘Touch- stone's dry humor was well given by Mr. Morton, and the aged reverential affection of Adam touchingly demonstrated by sterling John Jack. Mr, Fitzgerald’s Oliver deserves a spccial mention for a small part. Mr. Bravone’s Wiiliam was good as neediul. Miss Vernon as Celia and Mrs, Edward Wright as Audrey were good of their Kind, and another fair dévutante, Miss Marion Ray, layed prettily as pettish Phebe, To-night Mr. avenport resumes his really leading’ ro‘e in “A New Way to Pay Oid Debts.” Strap? THEATRE—L'AFRICAINE.—A Very large and unusually brilliant house greeted last night the first production of Meyerpeer’s posthumous opera, at this Gefman temple of the arts. The cast was the following:—Selica, Louise Lichtmay; Vasco, Herr Bernard; Nelusko, Herr Vierling; Ines, Miss Roemer; Don Diego, Weinlich; Don Alvaro, Alstroem. The opera was played for the first time at the Grand Opera louse, Parig, on April 28, 1865, with Mme. Saxe, mile, Battu and - Naudin, Favre, Warot and Belval in the leading roics. Mr. J. Grau was the first to present it in this coun- try and Zucchi was the first Selica introduced to the New York public. Tue performance last night proved the fact that Mme. Lichtmay is the vest lyric artiste we have at present in this city, for she made her greatest success in the princt- pal réle. Mile. Roemer was fair and nothing more as Ines, and Mr. Vierling, & sure, true, Conscientious artist, made the part of Nelusko such # success that to him, after Mme. Lichtmay, the triumph of the opera is due. ‘the tenor, Bernard, ‘was so bad that we wonder that such an able man- ager as Mr. Rosenberg would ever allow him to at- tempt such a dimicuit 7d/e. Habelmann would have been infinitely better. The opera was placed on the stage admirably, and Mr. Rosenberg deserves much credit for it. the smp was @ little shaky, but the tree redagmed all. Altogether the opera was a success, and the Stadt theatre, which under the Hamann auspices became a stand- ing reproach to the metropolis, has proved with Rosenverg such @ success as few even of the enthusl- astic Teutonic Kind would ever hope Tor, Pak THEATRE, BROOKLYN.—The numerous Patrons of this well managed and excellent place of amusement were treated last night-to a most excellent entertainment. The play was Mr. F. G. Maeder’s ‘‘Help.”” It 1s not @ ptece of very great exceilence, but it is one which is pecuilariy filted for the display of the singular talent which Mr. —- Murphy possesses. As Ned Daly Mr. Murph, displayed & wonderful versatility, and comport bimself with more ease and ice than we would expect to'find in one who had already obtained a reputation in minor characters. The story of the play 1s well known, and need not be repeated. All the actors supporting Mr. ed acquitted them- selves with ability and contributed to make the piece a success.

Scriocvs Troubles in Chicate County—Par. chasing a Seat in the Untied States Senate— Governor Clnyton’s Appointments Repu- dinted=—Negroes on the Point of Rebellion. Memruis, Tenn, May 2, 1571. A Little Rock special of last night says serious troubles are reported in Chicate county, the largest negro district in the State. Jnst prior to his late late election as Senator Governor Clayton appointed Senator J. W. Mason (colored), of Chicate county, Probate Judge, as itis alleged, to secure his vote for Senatorshtp; but just on the heels of tue session Governor Clayton appulnted Major Ragland, of Jetierson county, to that position, and, under Clay- ton’s instructions, the Senate réfused to take up and act on Mason's nomination, and by that means it was expecicd to get rid of him; but Mason went home and took possession of the ofice, and the colored men made Ragland leave the country, To add to this the Governor recently ap- Pointed Conway Barbour (colored), lately a resident of Cincinnati, and a member of the House from La- fayette, as as-essor of Choate county, ignoring the claims of all the colored residents in that count, ‘This incensed the negroes stili more; and when Bal bour went down he only remained two days, a ne- e telling him “it would be better for his health if e made himself scarce.”? The negroes are reported to be on the potnt of out- break, and should the Governor attempt to force these men on them there will be trouble.

Communication with the Lakes Cut Off—Canal Navigation to Be impeded for a Month-- Full Particulars from the Scene of the Disaster. Pirrerorp, N. Y., April 30, 1871. The great breach in the Erie Canal, apout three miles below this place, the bare fact of which was telegraphed the HERALD yesterday, bas to-day (Sun- day) attracted many thousands of visitors to the scene. Long before the church bells of Rochester and the adjacent villages began to ring out their calls to the faithful, and in the midst of a drizzling rain, @ curious multitude taronged the roads for miles in every direction, and it is estimated that the carriages and other vehicles on the spot during the day Would number nearly 1,000, The immediate SCENE OF THE BREACH. 1g a place éalled the Ox-Bow (from a tortugns bend in the old canal, since avoided in the enlargemeni), and is but a short distance from the point where a similar, though smatier chasm, was formed on the letting inof the water abouta week ago. It is almost the exact locality of a large breach some five years ago, in which one or move boats were lost, a house was carried away and its occupant, an old man, drowned. Many bridges ana considerable mill property was also at the time destroyed. About two miles above 1s where the breach in THE GREAT BMBANKMENT occurred some fifteen or more years ago, Here is a@range of hills, the last out-cropping of a distant spur of the Alieghantes, and at the fogt of their Western slope the canal runs parallel with them and crosses a ravine notched in their side. To effect this crossing an embankment has Seen thrown up, forty feet in height, about 150 feet in width at the base and twenty feet in width at the top, and some- thing less than a mile in length. The ravine, which narrows in the Oiilside, 19 flooded to save building a second embank- ment, and the water, when navigation is opened, is at some points here thirty feet in depth. Stretching away to the westward below the canal is @ low, marshy and sparsely wooded tract of coun- try, dotted. here and there with farm houses and cottages, The entire area of the flooded portion of the ravine is probably not more than twenty acres, but this body of water, averaging, perhaps, no more than two fathoms in depth, combined with the pressure of the strong current coming down from above, was too great for the badly constractea and worse repaired banks in the condition they had been left by the frosts of last winter and the muskrats this spring. THE GATHERING OF THE WATERS, Since the water was admitted to this level, seven- teen miles long, on the 24th mstant, a watchman has been kept on the banks day and night. He, how- ever fatied to discover the breach of a week ago, til, after.a great deal of damage had been done, and, though he claims to have passed the point where the present one has been made only ten min- utes before the bank gave way, about eleven o'clock Friday night, he says he saw nothing to excite a suspicion of danger. A repair scow, which had been stationea at this point during the day, dropped down the stream early in the evening, and the men were at the village of Fairport, a milo and @ half below. The canat boats Barney Bird, L. W. Clark and J, W.

When the cap- tain of the L. W.

There was held last evening at the Westchester House, corner of Broome street and the Bowery, a Democratie Con- vention. The call which brought {t to a head, or the proceed- ings which were had after the call had been responded to, did not go so far as to drag in the question as to who was to be or ought to be the mext democratic candidate for President; but, if the call did not and the proceedings did not, the blame cannot be laid at the doors of the delegates who were on hand in a mood enthust- astic enough to please the most ardent admirer of demo« cratic unity. The fact is, the Convention was made up of delegates from all the wards combined in the rial district now represented by “Boss!
