WASHINGTON. THE DEMOCRATS AND CINCINNATI. Van Trump’s Last Card in the Presidential Game. Piedmont and Potomac Rail- road Subsidy. Congressional ‘Tribute to the Memory of Morse, SEAMEN'S — PROTECTION, ULYSSES GOING TO THE JUBILES. MERCHANT WASHINGTON, April 4, 1872, he Belmont Conference and the Old Hard Shell Democracy—Van Trump Plays Dis Card, Since the Belmont conference in this city iast week, an accurate report of which appeared in these despatches, there has been a decided un- pleasantoess between those of the democracy who manipulated and attended that meeting and are in favor of the “passive policy,’’ and the representay faves of the ‘<dyed-in-the-wool democracy,” who seem to see little good ana much harin to come to them from coaiiton with the disaifected republl- cans. There have been long and serious confer- ences with those who were disposed to kick in the traces, and many of them nave agreed to bridie their passions and desires for the common good of whe party and to give at least a tacit support to the Movement against Grant, the foundation of which is to be laid at Cincinnati, To-day there hes been more than usual | Stir among them, a long and confidential | tonference having been held between Stock- ton, Casserly, Voorhees, Davis of West Virginia, and other prominent democrats, which resulted in | the mappiiig out, so far as was possible, the policy to be pursuea by thew party. Although nothing efinite is known of what is going on among them enough has transpired to warrant the assertion that they will urge their party to a support of the nomt- hee of the Cincinnati Convention, should he be ac- ceptable to them, and it can also be asserted posl- luvely that they would look upon the nomination of Judge Davis with great favor and give im thew support, ‘There are, however, some turbulent spirits among the democrats who will not be paci- fied, and who do not favor a coalition, but Openly declare for a reguiar democratic | Domination. Mr, Van Trump, a member of the | House from Ohio, and also a member of the Con- | gressional committee, may be sald to be the leader of this faction, and he has written a long and elabo- rate paper, which will appear in a leading Ohio Jourgal to-morrow, warning his democratic breth- ren from looking with favor upon the coaijuon | Movement, in ithe characterizes the Convention at Cincinnati as representing nothing, ‘no matter | how much enthusiasm, or how long or how large and respectable the aitendance.”” Tle says the Con- vention 13 without authority to pledge the support of any controliabie defiaite element of strength to any candidate, He also says that the fceling for a regular «emocratic nomination is growing stronger, and that it is now a settied fact Wat a National Democratic Convention will be held—a fact by no means established a week ago, Few democrats go so far as Mr. Van Trump, yet there seem to be enough who give his views support to make trouble in the attempced iusion of the clemonts opposed to Graut. A conversation with the loaders of the docile faction upon Mr. Van Trump’s movements revea no anxiely as to its baneful effects, and they Glare that he and his friends may talk of then | preferences how, but when party action is taken they will all fail In aud work witha will to make | that action successful. Bopor iu Hiouse to Peotessor wo=TLe M Seamen’s Protectioa Bil In the lio tals morning Mr. vox, of New York, introduced an appropriate resolution ta honor of | the late Professor Morse, and Mr. Wvoil, of New York, gave some interesting details of the trying scenes through which the inventor ol the electric telegraph passed before he was abie to give nis great invention to the world. This history opens up great subject for thought and inquiry, and cannot fall, whenever mentioned, to arrest the attention of the student of special legislation in the Auterest of the arts and sciences. The Steamboat pill, which was pending be- fore the House adjourned yesterday, was Gisposed of by the adoption of Mr, Town. send’s = substitute, with Mr Kerr's amend. ment, and passed—yeas 116, nays 43. The rest of the day was spent in the consideration of a bill to authorize the appolntment of Shipping Com- missioners by the Judges of the several Cirewlt Courts of the United States to superintend the | shipfing and discharge of seamen engaged m mer. | chant ships belonging to the United States, | and for the protection of seamen, This Diil has been very carefully considered by the Com- mittee on. Commerce, aud drawn entirely in the in terest and for tie protection of seamen engaged in our merchant marine service, The bil! provides for one commissioner to be appoiated by the Judge of , the Cireuit Court, in cirenis where there Is asea- | port, whoze duties are well defined inthe bul. It provides for the manner of contracts for remunera- ton, engagements and discharges between seamen d musters of ships and 13 invended to insure pro- tection to a lutherto oppressed and neglected class, ; Air. Wood, of New York, in an elaborate speecn Opposed the bill, claimlug that it was mischievous in spirit and antagonistic to the shipping Interests of the couniry, He said he had received many letiers from shipowners in New York protesting | Against its passage, and sent to the desk a long | Teter on the subject, Mr. Conger, of Michigan, re- Plied to the specen of Mr, Wood and made some very goou points and witty rejoinuers to the argu- Ment of thar gentleman im favor of the bil!

Another important measure to be Introduced in this bill “for the collection of invernal revenue,” &c., which will probably be reported on Monday next, is a clause relating to an export law, allowing draw- backs of all taxes. Another section will make it a penal offence to counterteit or use counterfeit cus- toms revenue stamps axed to boxes of imported cigars, both as evidence of the duty having been paid and thelr genuineness as imported cigars.

Its plot 1s powerful and deals in the most vivid pictures of the darkest as well as the most passionate traits of hu! clarace ter, Some of the very mainsprings of the story are forbidding in their nature and to some extent re- pulsive, The plot hinges upon the consequences of an early passion of the leading male character, named Cora (Miss Clara Morris.) A sudden and uugovernable fit of jealousy on the part of the former brings on him a curse that clings to him for years. He attempts the murder of his betrothed, distigures her for life, is condemned to the gatleys for the same, and being recognized eight years afiorward by Cora, when he has been diss charged from the galleys and has married in Paris Marcelie (Miss Dietz), the dauvnter of the Count de Rives “(Mr Griflitis), is threatened by Cora, who discovers him, wita ex- posure, ‘The passion of the past becomes a mono- Mania with Cora aud leads ultimately to insanity, Tie despair of the unfortunate Duhamel and tio insane vindictiveness of his first love form tho foundation of the drama, A¥ound them are grouped @ fashionable woman, Baroness De Mirac (Miss Fanny Davenport); a modern beau and rou, M,.
