Congress Yesterday—Beck’s Cartel Carpet-Baggers—The Senatorial Barrelled Triumvirate. Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, was afforded the opportunity yesterday by the House to defend his personal character and reputation from the virulent attack made upon him in the Senate on Thursday by Mr. Brownlow, of Tennessee, better known as “Parson” Brown- low, and well Beck made use of the opporfu- nity extended to him. In order to justify the remarks which had provoked Brownlow’s ire, and in which he had described the State of Tennessee, while under the Parson’s rule as Governor, as a “pandemonium,” he had necessarily to review affairs in that unfortu- mate State ; but he was frequently interrupted by points of order, to the effect that he was making a political speech and not a personal explanation. The Speaker, however, backed by Banks and Dawes, of Massachusetts, upheld the right of Beck to choose his own mode of putting the case, and inquired of the objectors whether they thought they should dictate to the gentleman from Kentucky the line of his argument, Thus encouraged and sustained, and stimulated also by the earnest attention paid to him by the members and by the crowds of spectators in the galleries, Beck, with a splendid impetuosity, sustained his position, justified all that he had previously said by a review of the history of Tennessee for the four years following the war, and then flung down the gauntlet to the whole crew of carpet-bag Governors and Senators. He charged these with having put forward Brownlow to assail ‘him because Brownlow was ® cripple and an ‘imbecile; but the rest of them, he said, ‘could .walk, and he had really said worse things of them than he had said of Brownlow. Governor Davis, of Texas, he said, had been looking him full in the face when he was exposing their infamies, and Governor Bullock, of Georgia, had been occu- ‘pying a seat near him. Why had not they, or Scott, of South Carolina, or Reed, of Florida, none of whom were cripples, come forward to challenge what he hai said, and which he stood ready to prove in the House or else where, instead of shielding themselvos behind. an old imbecile? Beck’s chivalrous conatry- man, Fitzjames, could not have hurled his defiance at Rob Roy and his freebouters with greater scorn than did Berk at these modern plunderers, The Senate had its own entertainment in the discussion over Sumner’s resolution of inquiry as to the furnishing of arms to the French. Mr. Morton, of Indiana, the eham- pion of the administration in the Senate, made an able speech in its defence, and Mr, Conk- ling moved to amend Sumner'’s resolution by directing an additional inquiry as to whether any Senators had been colluding and plotting with the members of the French Legation in this matter, thus turning the tables upon the Massachusetts Senator. Tipton, of Nevada, who is earning for himself the soubriqnet of “The Tipton Slasher” of debate, ranged him- self, as usual, alongside of Sumner and Schurz, and pitched into Morton, Conkling and Ed- munds as having constituted themselves a sort of triumvirate to rule the Senate and the administration, and he quoted approvingly the remark of an Omaha newspaper that they were all ‘‘single barrelled.” No legislative business of any kind was transacted in either house except the passage in the House of some private bills, and of a bill to admit, free of duty, the importation of photographic pictures for exhibition. Tho Senate has adjourned till Monday, but the House will be open to-day for general bun- combe purposes. to the Single. The Willlamsburg Ferries—Are the Peeple to Have Reform? It has been such a common triok of the men known as “strikers” at Albany to introduce resolutions of inquiry into the aftairs of ferry companies and other similar institutions, for the purpose of levying black mail upon the parties interested, that all movements of the kind are looked upon with suspicion, But the bill now before the Assembly, to regulate the Williamsburg ferries and the investigation to which it has given rise, come from the efforts of members who are personally concerned in the description of accommodation afforded to the public upon those boats, and are not open to any suspicion of corrupt or improper mo- tives. The proposed law does not appear to do any injustice to a ferry company honestly managed in the interest of the people who are compelled to use the line, and it is proper that any other management should be ixterfered with and legislated against. The bill cer- tainly embraces a genuine and needed re- form, for it is notorious that the Williams- burg boats are not such as the people have a right to expect from a wealthy, money- making corporation, and the fares are higher than they ought to be, judging from the enor- mous profits realized by the shareholders, The citizene accustomed to cross on that line almost unanimously concur in the statement that the boats, with very few exceptions, are old, slow, small and dirty; the ferry houses mere shanties, unfit to accommodate the peo- ple; the rates of fare from forty to sixty per cent more than those charged by the Union Company. In consequence, it is asserted that the entire Eastern District of Brooklyn finds its prosperity hampered and its business almost paralyzed by the continuance of what they call an odious and oppressive monopoly. The people are certainly a unit in demanding re- form, and the Legislature may open itself to grave suspicions should it fail to grant it if, upon a fair investigation, the assertions are found to be true. Rattway Acoiwrnts are plentiful enough fow for the most morbid admirers of these horrid di sters; but with the breaking up of @ hard winter, and the washing away and undermining of bridges, embankments, &c,, and the dislodging of the rails, we fear these disasters will be greatly increased. Let all our railway companies, Kast, West and South, be warned in time of the needful precautions with the breaking up of a hard winter. NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1872—TKIPLE SHEET. Tae CHarTeR oF THE COMMITTEE oF Sevenry.—The New York charter prepared by the Committee of Seventy was yesterday ordered to a third reading in the Assembly by a vote of 57 to 53. This does not give a very bright prospect for its final success. It will now remain on the Clerk’s desk until after the . recess, when it will come up for final passage. At that time, probably, a motion will be made to recommit, with instructions to substitute another charter in its place, At all events, it seems now clear that the object of a certain number of the members is to delay all action upon a city charter for New York until some definite bargain can be made, or until the now conflicting interests can be harmonized. Should the Seventy’s bill be passed to a final vote its passage in the Assembly is very doubt- ful, and it is almost certain that it would fail in the Senate, even should it get through the lower House. Buoxnovut, THE MurpERER, has suffered the punishment provided by the law for his great crime. His execution will give a feel- ing of relief to men of law and order, and will be apt to serve as a warning to murderers still unhanged and to reckless ruffians who, within the last few months, have fallen back upon their old idea that in New York ‘“‘hang- ing is played out.” We congratulate the peaceable and law-respecting citizens of the city and the State upon the hanging of Back- hout. In tne Fosrzr Casz—car hook tragedy— the Supreme Court, General Term, yesterday denied the application for a new trial, and affirmed the judgment of the Court of Oyer and Terminer sentencing Foster to be hanged. It is understood that Foster's counsel will not stop here, but carry the case to the Court of Appeals. Personal Intelligence. Colonel John W.

Tonpon, Feb. 16, 1872. ‘The case submitted to the Geneva Board of Arbi- tration by the counsel of Great Britain im regard to the Alabama claims has been laid before Parament and 1s published. The document is divided into ten parts, Part I.—Remarks that no definite or complete statement of the American claims has ever been furnished. The Treaty of Washington and previous correspondence will supply, however, @ general definition of the demands made by the Uniced States, Rule 2 of article 6 of the Treaty of Washington is quoted as follows:—‘A neutral government 1s bound not to permit or suffer either belligerent to make use of its ports or waters as a base of naval Operations against the other, or for the purpose of the renewal or augmentation of miiitary supplies or arms or the recruitment of men.” ‘This rule 1s interpreted as prohibiting the supply of war-waging vessels from neutral ports, but as not prohibitory of the sale of arms or munitions of war in the ordinary course of commerce. The claims submitted are for damages growing out of the acts of vessels, respecting which the United States allege that great Great Britain failed in her international duty, The tribunal must deter- mine the question of failure of duty. If tt decides that there has been such failure then it must award @ gross sum for damages or define the limit of liability for the guidaace of the assessors of said damages. The circumstances of the sailing of the steamers Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Shenandoah were materially dissimilar; but Great Britain maintains that in respect to none of them has she failed of her international obligations, or rendered herself justly lable. Parr lL givesa history of the civil war in the United States showing that the course of England and the maritime Powers was one of vigilant and scrupulous neutrality. Part III, makes a statement of international rights and duties, of the laws of England bearing thereon, and of the faithful performance and execu- tion thereof by Great Britain during the war. It also gives a detailed account of the action of Minister Adams and Earl Russell io prevent the departure of the rebel cruisexs, Part IV. shows the limits of the powers pos- sessed by the Britisn government to prevent such departures. Parts V., VL, VII. and VIII, respectively, pre- sent in detail the facts relative to the steamers Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Shenandoah, Parr IX. sets forth that the steamers Georgia and Shenandoah were never equipped for war in the British dominions. Her Majesty’s government was only informed respecting these vessels after their: departure. The Alabama and Florida even did not receive their armaments in British dominions, The pecuilar circumstances of the Alabama’s escape are recited, and England's vigilant endea- yors to prevent her salling, a4 well as America’s failure in the attempt to capture her, are insisted upon. Part X. complains of cisadvantages under which Great Britain labors in meeting an unpre- sented case, The document concludes as follows:—“Whilé England regrets the departure of rebel cruisers from her ports, she cannot acknowledge the justice of the claims against her for pecuniary damages for their acts, The United States must solidly establish the fact of England’s negligence. England is ready to accept the award of the Tribunal of Arbitration, whether favorable or unfavorable. She desires only that it shall be just.” Papal Opinion of the Franco-Prussian Territo- rial Settlement. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Roms, Feb, 16, 1872.
