The Official Programme at Washington— Quarantine Courtesies, SERVICES AT THE GREZK CHURCH. Alexis Alexandrovitch still tarries on the great ailent nghway, but why no one seems able to state. Alady who callea at tne HERALD ofice yeaterday avowed that the gods were against him, and the winds were consequently adverse; or was it possi- ble that while studying the vastness of the phenom- ena of the heavens above andthe grandeur of the Waters of the mighty Atlantic beneath he had bee come 89 enchanted as to desire to spin out the voy- age to the greatest possivie length, fearing less @ teo speedy return to iand might eradicate from the tablets of hig memory the gloriovs scenes afforded un the passage—on the same ground that the lover will not marry for fear of decreasing ‘his love or the refusal of a hungry man to take @ breakfast because he 1s afraid of spoliing his appeute. Or, again, was it that visions of the lovely Princess Thyra had so disturbed him as to occa:ton a desire to return and forego the plea- sure of beholding a thousand who could compete with her in all the graces on this alae of the water? Rumor among tne officers of the Abreck—and this busyhody sometimes gives utterance to truth, how- ever accidentally —says that when he was tutrodaced to tue lovely. Danisn Princess by her royal papa he was charmed by the elegance of her deportment and delighted by the discovery in the fair lady of that “touch of nature” which nad been so carefully cultivated by her match-making parents, and which has proved in the case of each of the members of her-family a mine of wealth. But to the mind of a person who bas to be contented with a humpler lot and less lofty aspirations on this mundane sphere &@ voyage of thirty-two days in a sailing vessel across the briny waste of waters separating the two worlds would be sufficient to damp the ordor of the Rus- sian youth, the accompanying image of the alleged angel of his hopes Or the songs and allurements of @myriad of mermaids and sea nymphs notwith: standing. 9 ULI TINEA As it is @ well known fact that those wno make it their business to go down to the seaim ships en courage these bright visions of love romance and future felicity, it is, perhaps, only rational to allow the speculations regarding this gailant young lieu- tenant, who is just now tne hero of the times, THE OFFICES OF THH EXECUTIVE COMMITTRE were besieged from nine o'clock in the morning until the time of closing up, at four o'clock, by inquirers from all paris of the ctiy relative to the reported arrival. Some per- sons actually came in from Orange and other Outlying places on the same errand, fearing lest the Grand Duke might arrive and they should miss the Pleasure of assisting in the reception. A scamper was occasioned among the men who wore ordered to complete the aecorations for the stand on Union square gnd the steamer Mary Powcll, by the news reported in some of the moraing journals on Sun- day last, and the whole kas beén done so Jar as it can be finished unul the vessel and the stand are required for use. The decorations on board the boat will consist principally of flags and dowers, The latter will be im abundance ou the luncheon table, and at various parts of the cabin there will be floral devices, while the bunting will be arranged tn all kinds of fantastic forms in which the blending of the Stars and Stripes and the Russian eagle can be gracelully effected. The of the Powell will also be gaily Gecorated with bunting, representing various nationalities, the Russian and American predominaung. Jullicn has arral nave the band of the seventy-first regiment in attendance On the steamer on the day o! the recep- top, and the selections played will: be trom a kind of impromptu programme—pieces trom ‘*Norma,’’ “Masaniello,” &c, The band will be on board half an hour before the time ol starting, and play during the perlod of cmbarkation.

Mr. Bergh, on the other hand, seemed serious and determined on business. He said that some witty caticataring journal had siated that he had been placed on the committee to see that the Kusstan bears were not turned on their backs like turtles. However, it must be said that Mr. Kergh has been greatly conducive to the completion of the extensive arrangements necessitated by an affair of this kind, and has spent a good deal of time with Major Moat- omery, assisting and suggesting in what had to he one. Messrs. Bierstadt and Macy have been like the provervial busy bees for the past three weeks, and have discovered that it was not a ‘secure’ to carry out the extensive programme allotted to them as active members.of the various committees. far everything has been weil done, The Executive Committee has wisely restricted the number of ladies and gentlemen who will form the Committee Of Reception toabout four hundred. The capacity of the Mary Powell is equal to seven hundred, but, in order that taere might be no crushing or incon- venience, much less room for fear that the over- crowding might lead to an accident on the water, the former number has been fixed upon and will not be exceeded, TBE OFFICIAL PROGRAMME FROM WASHINGTON, Feciwshitle | to the Russian official programme, the first visit of the Grand Duke Alexis to Washington ‘Will not extend over twenty-four hours, It will be Merel¥ for the purpose of paying his respects to President Grant and the members of the Cabinet, who will in-a body welcome him at the Executive Mansiwp. He will receive no visitors during his brief sojourn nor receive cards. He will thea return vo this city to accept the honors prepared for tim, remaining there severai days. He will then pro- eced West and to we Pacitlc.

God save ihe Emperor ! Powerful and omnipotent Priace, Retain thy throne in peace, Keep in subjection our foes, Emperor, ‘True and trustworthy, God save you! No More Muscovites Yet. UNITED STATES STSAMSHIP CONGRESS, Nov. 13, 1371. It may easily be imaginea after the arrivat of the clipper Abréck on Saturday night that an excessive- ly bright lookout has been kept ever since. The Joke of the hour is that the slowest vessel of the Russian feet should be here first, and many are the curious speculations made as to how it came about. The most rational is, that the Abreck, taking @ better course, fell in with better winds than her compantons. One ingenious gentieman suggests that irom the time we Abreck lost sight of the flag- ship she did her level best, determined to burn every pound of coal on board rather than be more than a month behind the others, The flagship, he thinks, did not want to come in even so much ahead of the Abreck, and consequently has burned no coal at all, thus producing from their united efforts the result already announced. 1do not take much stock in this opinion. Captain Schantz remained on board Inst evening until quite late and departed with many expres. sions of regard. Everybody on board felt as much satisfied ag the partial blessing involved in tue third part of the Russian fleet could be expected to pro ‘| @uce, and went to bed to yearn for more Russwns in the land of dreams. This morning the wind had shifled to the east and brought along with ita light mist. About tea o'clock the look-out descried a tall, square-rigged ship emerging from the mistiness tn Gedney’s Channel. intee of every calibro were brought to bear on her, and it was soon plain asa pikestai to their traimed nautical vision that it was THE FIRST CLASS FRIGATE WABASH, five days out from Boston with orders to go to New York before starting for the Mediterranewn as Rag. ship of the European squadron, with Rear Admiral Alden in her command. As her great bull loomed up, dispiaying her ship’s number a¢ the fore, she looked very grand, with her double tiers of guns and tall spars; but wi a the eee’ ae peers their numbers she began sal Rowan, ay then, wrapped in the cloud of smoke, — with the live fiaskes = darting from Ber ports and the thuader of her guns on tie an ber appoarance wag traly meguidcent, Thay 4 ashore yesterday Lo arrange some financial matters, salute was answered »,” 2¢ Of seven guns from the Cot captain’s salu.” AS the Wabash ran by the ce 38 her gig was lowered, Bud Captain Scnafelt on to pay his respects to Ad. mural Rewan. and shortly atter returned on board his ship, which steamed for Quarantine.

J. Whitiock, President of the Board of Education, called the meeting to oraer, and nomi- nated ex-Alderman Whiting as Chairman pro tem, and Mr. Schroder as Secretary. The names of the gentlemen appotntet to act as the committee were then read, when the following named answered the roll call:—S, B, Chittenaén, Seymour L, Husted, Franklin Woodrutt, George Kunkle, Thomas Carroll, Henry C.

He sagzested that the sphere of tts duty be eularge:, in order that it might embrace an investigation of the accounts of thecity. In order the more eficiently to carry out this plan, it would, he believed, be advisable to increase the number of members trom forty to seventy-five or one hundred names, To act as Presi- dent the committee would require a strong, per- sistent, determined man, such as he deemed Mr, Samuel McLean to be—and therefore nominated him for the position. Mr. PorTER aro3é and moved that the letter be laid on the table, aad that for the present the meet- ing be confined to the members of the commit'ee, He did not intend any discourtesy to the members of the presa 1n making the suggestion. per OODRICH i that bey was a matter M which Bil citizens are ag Lagerested are, and be did not #00 why tne press aad i) Wetidea from. proveedings attendant upon the formation ot this committee.

A reporter of the HERatp called at the Russian chapel, which is situated at No, 961 Second avenue, near Filty-first street, for the purpose of having an interview with #ather Bjerring, who 1s the resident Russign p®test at this port. No. 061 is a handsome brown~stone nouse of four stories, with » plain entrance, and the appearance of the house all over is very modest.

Madame BysxRRING (ep acees: Nonsense, I can- Not tell exactly what the services will be when His Highness the Grand Due arrives, but 1 am certain they will be of a very solemn character.

REAPPEARANCE OF JUDGE LEDWITH. An Afternoon at the Kesex Market Police Court, Afier three weeks’ absence Judge Ledwith came back to his old quarters at twenty minutes to three yesterday afternoon. The officers of the Court. apxiously watched his countenance as he took his seat on the bench, put it bore no token of the re- cent struggle. His tace was clean shaven, and assumed a settled hue of holy resignation. But the wonted gleam of humor that used to illu- mine his features when anything of the funny order’ @ppeared in the course of the day seemed to have departed forever. Several gentlemen—among the number Mr, Anson Herrick, Mr. Robert M. Waite aud Mr. Patrick Anthony—calied to see him durin, the afternoon, His Honor kindly according a shoi audience to cach, All these gentlemen went away apparently satisiied, Mr. Anthony stated that the defeat of Judge Ledwith was to be accounted for on no otver grounds than ‘on accouns of this new movement, which swept everything before it like an avalanche,” Mr. Anthony also volunteered the information that “Judge Ledwith leit tne Committee of Seventy | only when he was endorsed vy ‘'ammany, and that any way there was too much intolerance and bigot there, and they were not of his kilaey at all. As Mir. Anthony has grag | and forcibly pat it, “it would be all right in the end, when things that’ dark now ts fully understood, because Judge Led- ‘with 19 an honest, decent man, and no one can- raise @ finger agia him.”’ It Was ramored around the Couftin the morning that Judge Ledwith was to go back to Jefferson Market, to exehange positions with Judge Shandiey. ‘The Judge, on being questioned by the reporter, denied all Knowledge ot the prospective change, bul said, wos quite immaterial” that he was per- fectiy willing, but beyond what he saw in the papers he knew nothing. The business of the Court yesterday had nothing of pecuilar iaterest in it, Some haif a dozen cases of intoxication, two assault and three abandonment cases exhausted the entire calendar, which eases His Honor disposed of with his usual rapidity.

Shortty vefore twelve o'clock yesterday morning Jonn Hegewich, a German, living et 532 Pearl street, and Joseph Ulding met at the above number and commenced a@ dispute in relation to a difficulty which took place between them about three weeks ago. After wrangling a fow moments Hegewich drew @ pocket knife and stabbed Ulding in the back of the neck, inflicung @ wound five inches in length by two and @ haif tnches in depth. Hege- wich was immediately taken to the Centre Street Hospital aud attendea by Surgeon Vandewater. At of Five on the election irauds which snonid not Teach the parties implicated through the press. Wale it would be @ very fine morsel of news, began , yet there were greater considerations to taken into mind that should weigh with this body. It ought to be as secret as ine Grand Jury in this respect. The question was then called for an put by the Chair:—“Fhat tue meetings of this committee be confined to the membeis of this committee,”? Mr. JaMEs W. HUNTER objected to “Siar Champer"” eas of the order proposed, Tn y wanter to id the frauds out wherever they existed, aud wonld uke ie Bobiie, to know what they were dojng tn the matter of ferreting them out as they went ulong, Mr. ROBERT JOHNSON he would state that there was an immense mass of testimony already before the Committee of Five, Which would imple cate many men. Yet 1c might pe that in- justice would be done to rome men who now appear to be cuncerved in the fraudulent transac- tions, and to avoid giving publicity to their names the session should be in secret, he thought, The committee would report in a few days the resuit of its labors, When the press would be duly imformed. Mr. MURPHY spoke in favor of open sessions, and was willing to act upon the suggestion to increase the committee to seventy-iive or 100 members. Mr. Goopaicit said that the Commitice of Seventy in New York did not exclude the press from the or- ganization meeting. The presevt committee had been chosen by & meciing of iour thousanu citizens, Who were as iuterested as they were in what was guing on, and they should be informed. Messrs. Driggs aud Carroll endorsed this view of the matter, aud Mr. Potter still insisied on the ex- clusive policy. Mr. WHITING favored an executive session. He said Our movements are to be directed against an most almighty power in this city. While he had the utmost confluence in the gentlemen who comprised the committee, and believed that there were not forty gentlemen of greater virtue to be found in the city, yet we have to exercise Overy possible precau- tion to guard agamst treason im our committee, E ible influence will be brought to bear men who are here to crush the guilty ones, and we cannot be too cautious in combat: ing this evil. There was a Ledwith in’ the New York Committee of Seventy. [ don't know that we have onc such in this commit- tee, but it is unsafe to let the enemy know the men who were moving to crush them. It is not politic, Nor was it wise, to open the door so wide as to allow the enemy to come in and capture us, The sub-commiltee should not be made known. Mr. DUTCHER favored the open door to the press. Results were what the people wanted, and as the County Canvassers meet to-day a commiltee should be designated to attend that canvass, The motion to permit the press to remain was adopted by a vote of 17 im the afirmative to 13 in | the negative, The tollowing code of bylaws for the government of the body was then read by Mr. Goodrich and adopted, section by section ARTICLE 1.—The committer shail be known as the Ci Reform Committee of Bruoklyn, and shall conslst of seven- ty-fve members, ABZ. 2.—Iis vbjects shal! be— Secivon 1,—-To accumulate such evidenee of frauds in tho Fecemt election as may be conveniently used to our courts of S- 3, -To prosecute ly and to conviction ever; ocd ofetereaina tty tat terion om ‘Ser, $—TO take measures to prevent any candidate not fairly elected from ese frauds. ‘Se. 4—To appeal alature al h speedy relief as it may be in {te powe js of juatice as may be found need Pr Its oficers shall be a president, two vico prosi- dents, secretary suistant secretary and treasurer, Whose powers and dues shall be such as usually appertain to such Officers respectively. ach to consiat of seven members :— ‘Section 1.—A prosecuting committee, whose duties shall be those named fn the nrst, seeond aod third sections of arti- Section 2—A_ committee on lezislation, whore duties shall those in the fourth section oF artic of the pure of this organiaation.

Not o little excitement has been created here, bei in civil and oficial circles, by the reported invasion Of this State py United States troops operating im the district under mariial law in South Caroling, Governor Caldwell, it 1s said, has received official information of the fact, and the local press are lou@ im their demands for Executive action im the premises. There has becn no opposition to the officers of the law tn this State. United States Deputy Marshals, singly, have made whole- sale arrests on the charge of Ku Kiuxing. Men have obeon tmprisoned and held tor trial for months, aud those who were batied bave in every instance made thelr appearance at the proper time before United States tribunals for tral. Such arrests and imprisonments are now 1m due course of operation under the Ku Klux law, an@ large numbers of citizens are either held or valled to appear for trial before the United States Circuit Court on the 27th inst, In view of snch a peaceful state of affairs the invasion of this State by troops from South Caro. lina for the purpose of arresting citizens of the lat- ter State is looked upon as an almost unwarrantable and flagrant aggression upon the rights of the States and upon the people of North Carolina in particular, Uver a week since a large squad of cavairy from York county, 3, C., came over tanto Cleveland county, in this State, and arrested a number of refugee cit wens of the former county and took them to York- ville, where they were imprisoned. ‘The latest invasion, however, was that of a simb lar body of troops which came from South Caroling on Welnesday night last and made a raid on the citizens of Shelby for the purpose of arreatimg. Alleged South Carolina Ku Klux. The troops came in the night time, in a very disorderly manuer, and. thetr entrance into town, when all the people had retired, created a panic and terror that can only be experienced in a time of war.
