The HeExRaxp correspondent in Matamoros has forwarded us the following special de- spatch :— Matamoros, Mexico, March 27, } Via Brownsvittz, Texas, Murch 27, 1872. General Trevino’s official report of the battle of Zacatecas states that he had com- bined the revolutionary forces from San Luis Potosi, Guanajuato, Jalisco and Aguas Ca- lientes—numbering in all 8,000 men—for the attack against General Rocha, who had about the same numberof government troops under his command around the city of Zacatecas. THE DEAD AND WOUNDED. The battle was a desperate one, and both sides loat heavily. Trevino admits the loss ‘on his side of 800 men in dead and wounded, put claims that the enemy suffered equally as great a loss. Trevino states that he captured three guns, and six officers, with eighty men, but lost some mountain howitzers. He re- | mained on the field until the following day, waiting for Rocha to to continue the battle. But Rocha not mak- ing his appearance he subdivided his com- mand, sending portions to Durango, Aguas Calientes and San Luis Potosi, to assist at the operations carried on by the revolutionists in those parts. He says he came to Monterey because his presence was required there. He promises that another attack on Zacatecas is to be made soon. DIAZ’S MOVEMENTS. General Porfirio Diaz is in the State of ‘Guanajuato threatening the capital city of that mame. A portion of General Rocha’s troops has gone to oppose him. The revolutionary chief Laroz is on the road between San Luis Potosi and the city of Mexico, doing as much damage as possible to the government. with money and correspondence, and inter- rupting communication in general. He re- cently defeated the government cavalry force sent against him, Cortina is committing depredations in the State of Nuevo Leon. He threatens to cap- ture a convoy of goods moving from Camargo towards Monterey, Six hundred men of Qui- roga’s revolutionary cavalry are pursuing him.

The Democratic Outlook for the Presidential Campaigu—"ossum tor the Present. Mr. August Belmont, the Chairman of the Na- tional Democratic Committee, reached this city this | morning, and immediately after his arrival sent invitauops to the leading members of his party in Congress to meet him at Welcker’s | in the evening. About eight o'clock the fatthfu! began to assemble, and by nine not fewer than forty of the principal poliucians of both houses had gathered to participate inrye whiskey and cigars and confer on the political situation. mr. Belmont stated the object of the meeting to be to discuss the coming Presidential canvass, and asked for an expression of opinion as to the proper course of the par in the present emergency. The question of holding & national convention was fully and freely dis- cussed by Oasserly, Frank Blair, Stockton, | Bayard and others, As the meeting was without oficial form or old-fashioned democratic Sanction, no action was taken; but the feeling was unmistakable against calling a convention at this Ume, or indicating any positive policy until after the action of the Cincinnatt Convention 1s known, While the necessity of a coalition with the dis- contented republicans was generally admitted it was urged (hat there must be no surrender of dem- ocratic principles or disruption of the democratic party. ‘The coalition, if it is made, wil be | made with party lines intact, and there will be only a union of strength and interests, ‘The meeting was very respectable, both in numbers and the character of the men who participated tn 1t, Mr. Beimont was the only memver of the democratic committee who was present. It was agreed that it would be proper to advise that no democrats should participate in the Cincinnatt Convention, it being thought best that the work there should be left entirely to the discontented republicans, The feeling with regard to candidates was not so favor- able to Judge Davis, there being less dis- position to endorse his nomination than was expected, Senator Trumbull has many friends, and the name of Charles Francis Adams ‘was suggested, but it is thought that some new man might be preterable to any one who has been { named, Frank Blair still urges the nomination of Gratz Brown. Outside of the meeting the name of General Logan was talked of and his availability discussed. The meeting lasted till midnight, the couference taking a very wide range. A calculation made by Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, was submitted, from which many crumbs of comfort were gathered, this comforting formuin showing that, even after conceding Illinois, Penasyivania and Indiana to Grant, there would be still votes enough in the Electoral Co.lege to defeat him. This put the meet. ing in excellent spirits, but the doubtful state of affairs 1m Connecticut operated somewhat against the hilarity of the occasion, The necessity of carrying that State was vehemently urged, and with the de- termination to carry ithe conference came to an end. Salt and Land Steal in the Senate. ‘The Senate proceedings to-day were opened by a resolution which was passed to appropriate $5,000 for conducting tne French Arms invesugation, after which Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, called up and had passed the bill to extend the time of payment to the citizens of Harper’s Ferry who purchased property at the government sale in 1*69,. This bill also forces the speculators who purchased the valu- able water power at that place and have let it lie idle either to pay for tt or return it to the govern- ment. Mr. Howe called up the St. Croix and Bayfleld land steal and urged non-concarrence in the House amendments, upon which considerable debate en- sued, but the question finaliy recurring upon Mr. Sherman’s motion to concur im the action of the House it was found that the Senate still was in- clined to bolster up this palpabie swindle, for the motion was rejected by a vote of 16 to 30, and the question recurred to the main question of non-con- currence, a general debate ensuing, which was interrupted by the expiration of the morning honr, and the bill went over. The unfinished business being in order the bill to repeal the tax on tea and coffee was then taken up, Mr. Biair, of Missouri, renewing the motion made yesterday to place salt upon the free list. Mr. Blair made a furious atiack upon the salt {n- terests of the country, declaring 1t a huge monopoly whose profits were almost beyond calculation, He ‘was especially severe upon the Onondaga Salt Com- pany, which brougnt Mr. Conkling to his feet in their behalf, Mr. Conkling said that the profits o that company were less than seven per cent, insteaa of over twelve, as stated by Mr, Blair, and thatif the tariff was taken off the salt interests of the whole country would be destroyed. Mr. Carpenter followed Mr, Conkling, and advocated a repeal of the duty. Mr. Fenton then addressed the Senate in opposition, Mr. Blair occasionally interrupting him with statistical questions upon the manufacture of salt in New York. Mr. Chandler next took ine floor, and made an argument against the repeal of the duty, in which he was very severe upon Mr. Blair and his statements in relation to the manufacture of salt. The yeas and nays were then demanded upon the question to admit salt tree of duty, with Messrs, Alcorn, Bayard, Blair, Carpenter, Edmunds, Hamil- ton of Texas, Harian, Hill, Howe, Kelly, Logan, Norwood, Patterson, Pratt, Ramsey, Sawyer, Schurz, Spencer, Stevenson, Sumner, Trumbull and West voting in the affirmative. The nays were Messrs. Ames, Boreman, Buckingham, Chandler, Clayton, Cole, Conkling, Corbett, Cragin, Fenton, Ferry of Michigan, Frelingnuysen, Gilbert, Hamil. ton of Maryland, Hitchcock, Morrill of Maine, Mor. rill of Vermont, Morton, Osborn, Pomeroy, Kice, Scott, Sherman, Sprague and Stewart, Those ap- sentor not voting were Messrs. Anthony, Brown. low, Caldwell, Cameron, Casserly, Cooper, Davis of Kentucky, Davis of West Virginia, Ferry of Con- necticut, Flanagan, Golathwaite, Hamito, Johnston, Kellogg, Lewis, Nye, Pool, Rovartson, Saulsbury, Stockton, Thurman, Tipton, Vickers, Wilson, Win- dom and Wright. The Odstinate Filibastering in the House. Another day was spent in a useless attempt on the part of the opponents of the Depot Site bil to to get a concession from Mr. Starkweather to allow amendments. There was considerabie canvassing going on among the opposing factions during the early part of the day to effect a compromise, but nothing was accomplished, and the calling of the yeas and nays made up the day’s work. Mr, Stark- weather weakened somewhat alter the flibustering had become decidedly tiresome ana made a proposi- tion to recommit the bill, upon which proposition two hours’ debate should be had, which should in- clude & discassion of the amendments, and before the vote was finally taken the House should decide whether the previous question be sustained, and the bill as reported voted upon or not, The opponents of tne vill were not to be caught by this proposition, cousidering tho Mouse quite 9s competent to vote upon tue umend.,/, ments as upon ordering the previous question. They indignantly refuse, and returned to the intellectual work of answering to their names, ‘To-might the matter stands precisely as it stood on Friday nignt, It 1s extremely dificult to see how 16 will be adyusted, Neither party seems inclined to yleld; indeed, both have declared that they will not, The minority 1s strong enough to keep the question from being acted upon, and tt resolves itself into a question of physical endurance. There 1s a strong feenng against cutting up the government reserva- Uon extending from the Capitol to the White House for the accommodation of a railroad, and a stroager feeling against giving away this valuable property. The Louisiana Republican Split—Peace Pro- Dosals. The arrangement looking for peace between the Louisiana factions predictea in the HERALD to-day 1s likely to be consummated, The first step toward this end will be the carrying out of an agreement said to be made with regard to the appointment of a Collector of Cus- toms at New Oricans in place of Gene- Tal Longstreet. Parker's nomination will be confirmed by the Senate; but his resignation is ow in the hands of the President, and after its ac. ceptance J. H. Ingraham or some other colored man will be appointed in his stead. Pinchback dined witn Mr. Sumner to-day, and has received every attentiun from the politicians of all shades of opinion, He was to have had an interview with Mr. Sumner this morning at nine o’clock, but slept too late, and the dinner was substituted. His trip to New York was delayed on account of a request from the President, and he will have another imter- view with General Grant to-morrow. While Pinchback is making every effort for peace Some or the members of the party are very reckless in their declarations, and the friends of Warmoth boast that they have more money patronage in Louisiana than the President has throughout the Unitea States, They name, among this boasted patronage, two hundred offices paying $10,000 a year and fifty offices (tax coilectors) pay- ing $12,000. They have the appointment of regis. ters and managers of elections, and say that, while | they will not count fraudulent votes in their favor, they will not count fraudulent vctes cast against them, The Reported Fight Off Aspinwall—The United States Steamer Wyoming Despatched. The United States steamer Wyoming, which was under orders to proceed to the East India squadron, was to-day ordered to Aspinwall, and will sail from Key West at once, reaching her destina- Uon on Monday next. The report of an engagement In whicn tho Vir- ginius—a blockade runner that has been at that Point for months past, menaced by the Spanish war steamer Pizarro— participated, 18 not credited at the Navy Department, as the Virgintus is in no way able to fight so formidable an enemy. A vessel of the West India squadron has heretofore been stationed at Aspinwall, and the ordering of the Wyoming at this time is from the necessity of having a vessel there as a possible point of disturbance, The Late Ohio River Steamboat Burnings and the steamboat Law. Special Agent Martin, of the-Treasury Department, who was directed by the Secretary of the Treasury to muke @ thorough investigation into all the cir- cumstances attending the burning of six steamers at Cincinnatl, early in the morning of the 7th inst., has submitted his report to the Treasury Depart- ment, The investigauon was made in accordance with the requirements of the new Steamboat act, and is tne first one ordered by the department. He Teports that no negligence was shown or suspected on the part of the officers of the steamboats or the local Board of Inspectors. Precauitonary measures to prevent losses by fire appear to have been made. Extinguishers were on all the boats and were used on some of them at the time of the fire, but | without avail; and watchmen, as required by law, were on duty on each of the boats, As to the cause of the disaster the most plausible theory is that fire was in the cotton loaded on the St. Charles the evening before, and that it was not the result of in- cendiarism or a careless use of lamps. Spectal agent Martun will leave to-morrow for Louisville to make an investigation into the sinkiug and burning of the steamer Falls City, near that place, witha view to ascertaining whether the Steamboat act, and the rules relative to the fastening of stoves, watchmen and fire extinguishers were regarded, or if the disaster was otherwise a result of carelessness or negligence. This duty finisned he will visit Pittsburg, Wheeling, Evansville, Memphis and Nashville, and report upon the character and qualifications of the officers of the service, the opera- tons and administration of the Steamboat In- spection law and of the rules prescribed. The same system of examination will be extended to the ports of all the steamboat uistricts in the United States. The Signal Service Appropriation and Postal : Telegraphy. The Committee on Appropriations of the House this morning heard General Myer, Chief Signal Of- ficer of the Army, in support of an increased ap- propriation for the storm signal service. The com- mittee to-night visited the Signal Department at Midnight and witnessed the receipt of reports from the various s.ations now estabitshed, and on Thurs- day will hear further argument in relation to the appropriation for this department, when Mr. Orton, President of the Western Union Telegraph Company, will be heard of tn relation to an increase of rates to his company forty per cent. The Postmaster Gea- eral will also be heard in relation to the postal tele- graph system. Mississippi Ku Klux Plead Guilty. The Attorney General to-day received a despatch from Oxford, Miss., stating that twenty-nine pris- oners charged with being Ku Klux had pleaded guilty, but sentences had not been passed, The Custom House inquiry. The New York Custom House Investigating Com- mittee this afternoon examined Robert b. Cather- wood relative to Leet’s general order business, and then adjourned until Monday, when William Orton ‘and several others will be examined. Comptroller Huriburd’s Case. Considerable interest prevails in Treasury circles as tothe ultimate result of the tuvestigation into the official conduct of the Comptroller of Currency. Secretary Boutwell had an interview to-day witn the President, and presented the written statement of the Comptroller. This statement will pe fully considered before official action 1s taken in his case. The Chicago Retief Bill. Delegations from I[llinots, on the one hand, and Michigan and Wisconsin, on the other, appeared before the Ways and Means Committee this morn- ing and set forth their views on the Chicago Relief bil, The principal speakers in favor of the bill were Senator Logan, Representatives Farnsworth, Farwell and Beveridge.

Judge Barnard’s Case Still Under Examination— Testimony of the Witnesses for the De- fence—Mr. Fields Declines to Answer Certain Questions. There does’ not appear to be the same interest taken in the proceedings of the Jaaiciary Committee a8 Was noticeable during the earlier portion of their session, Their attention is still occupied examining Witnesses on the charges against Judge Barnard, but up to the present they do not ap- pear to have aiscovered any very strik- ing evidence in substantiation of the charges that nave been farnished by the Bar Association. The charge of making use ot improper language from the bench has brovght out considerable evi- dence; but it is of such @ contradictory nature that it can hardly bear much weight with the members of the committee. Business was resumed yesterday morning at ten o'clock, aud the first witness called was Mr. William C. Barrett, who was examined with reference to the conversation that passed between counsel and Judge Sutherland in relation to the applica- tion for an iniunotion, at the sult of Tom Scott, against Tammany Hall. Mr. Barrett appeared for the defence, and stated that Judge Sutherland called at his house last Sunday morning, and ap- Peared very much annoyed at the repert that appeared in the newspapers of Mr, Strahan’s testimony, which stated that Judge Sutheriand shirked taking any action on the injunction on the grounds that bis term of ofice was nearly ex- Ppired, and such action might prejudice his renomi- | nation, Judge Sutherland stated to witness that Mr. Strahan was in error t he gave such evidence, and it placed him before the pub- lic in an unpleasant light, Mr. Barrett statea that he called upon Judge Sutherland on the Wednesday preoad ia the first Monday in Septem ber. Judge Sutherland was then sitting in Cham- bers, apd Witness spoke to him tn relation to tus injunction and suggested that it might tn- jure bis chance of renomination if he was to. grant an injuncuon that would vir- tually put @ stop to the operations of the elly government. Judge Sutherland thanked him for bis advice, and it Was then agreed to have the application made to some other Judge; witness then had a conversation with his nephew, George O, Barrett, and Mr. J. H. Strahan, and he told them how Judge Sutherland ielt on the subject, put they couciuded, as they wanted the injunc- tion granted immediately, that they would make the application on Thursday; on that day they proceeded to Judge Sutherland's house, bul bemg informed he was sick, they went on to Judge Ingraham’s house, in Harlem, and again were at fauit, as they were told he was out of town, and it was uncertain when he would return, On Friday they called again on dvudge sutherland, and found that he had lett tor Hudson City, and was not to return for two or three days. On Monday they went to find Judge iarnard, but he was absent on vacation. They then went to Judge Sutherland’s house on the following day and expiainea the situation in which they were placed, and requested him to come to Chambers the next day (Wednesday) to officiate in case Judge Barnard should not have returned, Judge Sutherland came down, but as Judge Barnard was already on the bench he did not remain, ‘The ap- pliceton. jor the injunction was then made to Juage arritt by George C. Barrett. The witness was then. cross-examined by Mr, Strahan, of the com- mulitee, and stated that four applications had beea made to Judge Sutherland, Q. Did Judge Sutneriand, in course of conversation on the Thursday before the injunction was granted, make anappoimtment to meet you on the followimg morning? A. He did. Q, Did Judge Sutherland also tell you that ne thooght he could get the nomination of Tammany Hall, and that he was poor, and if he was not re- nominated chat he would be turned out of house and home? A. 1 do not recollect, Q. Do you remember Judge Sutherland making a remark to the effect that Judge Ingraham had saul he intended to devote the remainder o1 his term to the breaking up of the Tammany Ring? A. I be- lieve he said something of the kind, Q. Have you often appeared as counsel in cases before Judge Barnard? A. { have frequently. Q. Do youever remember his having made any decision governed by any corrupt or improper mo- uve? A. Ido not remember any sucd instance. ‘The next witness called was Mr. David Dudley Field, who was examined for the deience | in relauon to the proceedings connected with the Albany and Susquehanna Ratlroad suit, Mr Field gave an elaborate narrative of the entire proceedings in the matter, and gave a detatied account of everything that transpired trom | the commencement of litigation until the close of the suit, Mr. Field also produced a number of legal documents connected with the case that were examined by te committee. Atthe evening session Mr, Howe, of the firm of Howe & Hummel, was examined in relation to a ‘Writ of habeas corpus granted by Judge Barnard in 1868. He testified that he hago the men, who had been arrested on suspicion of illegal registering, to Judge Barnard’s house. As it was a irty night, and the Judge had an objection to. losing his sliver and having his car- pets destroyed, tne men were kept outside, and Captain Irving, of the detective force, went in side. The charge made in this case by the Bar Association was that Judge Barnard released these men improperly; witness stated that Judge bar- nard asked Osptain Irving if there was any return made to the writ, and Captain Irving answered that there was no return, and he did not know or any charge against them; whereupon the prisoners were discharged OL, Judge Barnard, on the grounds tuat they were neld by persons who gave no proper rea- sons for so holding them.
