SPAIN. Don Carlos on the Prospects of the Insurrectionary Cause. Journalistic Endorsement of the Revolutionist Situation—Royalist Reports of the Failure of the Movement—French Allegations of the Bourbon Army Muster. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Paris, May 8, 1872. The Legitimist journals insist that the battle of ‘Oroquieta was not decisive of the fate of the Carlist rising. Don Carlos writes on the 6th to the Duchess of Madrid that “his prospects are excellent; that he could announce good news, but refrains from pru- dential motives.” The Carlist organs deny that Rada or any other leader has returned to France, and assert that the insurrectionary forces are masters of all Biscay and important points in Guipuzcon, and hold possession of the railway between Miranda and Irun; that bands under Castello and Alegre are active in the Catalonian provinces, and others are hovering on the borders of Terme! and Tarragona. mish Royalist Despatches—The Prince in Exile with One Anointed Apostle.

Tho Assassin, a Young Fiend, Caught. in an At- tempt at Arson and Wholesale Slaughter— His Confession of the Murder—No Mo- tive for His Crimes—Is Ho Insane? Derxorr, Mich., May 8, 1 Last November a murder was committed about five miles from here under most mysterious cir- cumstances, and what seemed likely to be a dead secret for all time is now brought to light. One night, about twelve o'clock, Dennison Miller, a well to do farmer, was awakened by noise. His wife got up, thinking it was acat in the kitchen, and opened the back door for its escape. A masked man rushed in past her; went immediately to the room where her husband, roused by her screams, had got up, and without a word stabbed Miller to the heart, killing him in- stantly. Every effort was made TO FIND THE MURDERER. A large reward was offered and several persons were arrested on suspicion, but finally discharged, and all hopes were given up of the murderer ever being brought to justice, All this time that the search was being made the murderer was in daily contact with those searching and entirely unsus- pected, and his discovery was only accidental two or three weeks ago. A powerful young man of nineteen, named William Smith, was arrested for twice attempting to throw railroad trains off tha track, near this city. He was bailed, and imme- diately after set a barn on fire, when he was rearrested and confined to jail. From some inad- vertent remark SUSPICION OF HIS COMPLICITY in the murder of Miller was aroused. On investiga- tion a chain of evidence was found. Smith was charged with the crime, and made a confession that he had contemplated the murder for some time, though he seems to have had to special motive. He was working for a neighbor of Miller, and slept with the son of his employer on the night of the murder, He rose, administered chloroform to his sleeping companion and then got out of the win- dow. He sought the house of the victim and com- mitted the fatal deed; after which he returned to his bed. When the alarm was given he turned out with the others in search of the murderer. The next day he was among the crowd discussing the affair, but betraying NO SIGN OF THE DEADLY SECRET. He remained in the neighborhood for some time after the excitement had subsided, and but for his kless attempts at wholesale slaughter and arson would never have been suspected, To-day he was arraigned, plead guilty and was committed for trial. He seems to be indifferent or reckless as to the con- sequences, He has been called insane on account of his other deeds; but the physicians who have e: amined him, say that he has no symptoms of in- sanity.

Grant Upon Greeley and Mosby Upon Grant. Tho President received a large number of visitors , among whom were Colonel John W. Forney, wito called to talk over the political situation, ‘The nomination of Greeley was incidentally alluded to- when the President good naturedly remarked that the American people would never elect him to the omice ot President. Preceding Mr. Forney were Senator Lewis, of Vir- ginia, accompanied by Colonel Mosby, the guerilla chief during the late war, who called to pay his respects to the President, and as a pledge of his thorough reconstruction, assured the President that he not only believed he would be the nominee of the Philadelphia Convention, but that he would sup- port him in his Congressional district by publicly advocating his re-election. “Why,” said the guerilla convert, “between a military despotism and a despotism of isms, I pre- fer military despotism.” The interview between the conqueror and the conquered was of the most cordial character. What the Selection of Baltimore for the Democratic Convention Mcans—A Regu- lar Party Nominee, The news of the selection of Baltimore to be the place for holding the democratic convention ts ac- cepted here as a certain indication that Mr. Greeley will not receive the endorsement of that party. The Southern democrats in Congress, at least a majority of them, who have more or less committed them- selves to the Cincinnati nomination, accept the re- sult as a triumph of the Northern democrats, who are more unanimously inclined to put up a regnlar ticket, It is generally believed here that if St. Louis had been accepted as the place, the influence of the revenue reformers, free-traders and others of the grand anti-Grant combination would hav been sufficient to create a strong feeling for Gree- ley, and it is acknowledged that no such influences will prevail at Baltimore. A direct result of this selection is a proposi- tion to discuss to-night, by — prominent democrats, that the South shall withhold its delegates from the Convention, and thereby tacitly agree to the nomination of Greeley. The necessity of Keeping up a party organization is conceded, however, as a sufficient reason for the re- jection of this proposition, and it will, doubtless, be agreed to send delegates, in accordance with the call, for the purpose of fighting out the quarrel, if one really exists, in a legitimate way, inside the party organization. Trumbull On His Expected Democratic Allies. It has been definitely ascertained that pending | the Cincinnati Convention Senator Trumbull wrote a letter toa personal friend who was a delegate in | that body advising the nomination of a straight-out republican to be its candidate for President. He gave as a reason for this advice his belief that the democratic party, judging from its representatives in Washington, were so badly demoral- ized as to be in a condition to compel them to accept the Cincinnati candidate. In other words, he believed them to be willing to do any- thing to beat Grant. One direct effect of this letter, now that its contents have become public, has been to disgust a number of Northern democrats with the nomination of Mr. Greeley, which they accept under this new light as an effort to browbeat them out of the policy of an independent nomination and to confirm them in their desire to put up a regular candidate, The Conspiracy to Oust Trumbull and Fenton from Committee Chairman- ships—Grant’s Position on Renomina- tion. The so-called republican conference held by the administration members of the Senate and a few prominent republicans of the unofficial ilk was, in fact, a caucus, called at the instance of Zach Chandler and some of his friends, for the | purpose of effecting the removal of Sena- tors Trumbull and Fenton from their respective positions as Chairmen of the Judiciary and Con- tingent Expenses Committces. No definite plan had been resolved upon regarding a successor to Mr. Fenton, but it was generally understood that if the movement succeeded Mr. Edmunds would re- | place Mr. Trumbull at the head of the Judiciary | Committes The consultation which led to this conspiracy was confined to a few plotters, and the ostensible rea- son of the call for the conference was the necessity | of a reduction of the clerical force of the Senate, It was expected that this trivial excuse would appear to be 80 unimportant that but few, if any, except the initiated would respond. The excited condition of political affairs, however, had the effect to induce @ general attendance, and the schemes of the deposers fell to the ground. In fact, they were abandoned almost as soon as the | caucus was called to order, and were the subject of mere informal consideration, instead of earnest action, as their authors had — intended. Senator Wilson, aided by Colonel John W. Forney, who was present as a privileged person, quietly urged the impropriety of the movement, and cited the ill results which fok lowed the removal of Senator Summer from the Foreign Relations Committee as a reason why the effort should be abandoned. Others who were in- terested in preventing a further rupture in the party pointed out the possibility, if not the probability, of a failure by the democrats to nominate a regular candidate and the consequent necessity of presery” ing the unity of the republican organization’ Peaceful counsels finally prevailed, and the matter was dropped for the present. Its promoters, however, are not satisfied with the result and may be provoked to call it up again, Incidentally the subject of General Grant’s with- drawal from the canvas, was mentioned, when every republican present uttered a protest against Lincotn, “It will not ‘do to awap horses while crossing a stream,’ . It was also agreed that the’ party having pfaced itself, 40 fur as the members of the Senate conid do so, in the attitude of General Grant's defenders, it would be an act of injustice, if not ingrati- tude, to desert him now. It was intimated that General Grant himself had pri- vately expressed a determination to insist on his candidature for the reason that, having stood the brunt of the attack against the party of which he is the acknowledged head, he would not now allow himself to be sacrificed at the demands of a handful of growler and sore-headed malcontents. There was no talk about a reorganization of the Cabinet until after the adjournment, when one or two of Colonel Forney's friends suggested that something mignt be done in that direction between this and November; and, as usual under such cir- cumstances, his name was mentioned in connection with the postal portfolio. The Alabama Treaty Muddle Becomes More Hopeless Than Ever. Efforts continue on both sides to save the Treaty of Washington, and with it the Gladstone Ministry and the reputation of Mr. Fish. Cable despatches between Minister Schenck and the State Depart- ment have been constantly passing yesterday and torday, owing to the pressure of the English Cabinet upon the Minister to bring about an accommodation on terms less embarrassing to the British government than those the firm stand of the President imposes upon that government. As before suggested, the rejection by this gevern™ ment of the proposition which Lord Granville as. sumes he was induced to make by the intimations received from Washington forces the English Cabi- net into a position of diMenity, if not danger, com- pelling it to obtain an acceptance of its proposition, or of some immaterial modifica- tion of it, or face the denunciations of a savage opposition in Parliament for its truckling polic; But the determination of our government remains unshaken, and Mr. Schenck has again been required to inform Earl Granville that anything less than a full equivatent for the proposed arbitration of our consequential claims by the tribunal at Geneva, and every suggestion that those claims should be for- mally withdrawn from such arbitration is, incon- sistent with the rights of the United States government under the treaty, as well as its dig- nity, and cannot be entertained. While it seems undeniable that the late premature publication by the State Department of the position of the United States and of our readiness to compromise on cer n conditions has contributed to bring its new diMficulties upon the Gladstone Ministry, there is no disposition here to sacrifice the interests and position of this country, or of the administration, for the purpose of saving Mr. Gladstone and Lord Granville in their coming struggle with Mr. Disraeli and Earl Russell. As there is every probability of the later correspondence becoming public by being laid before the British Parliament, it is deemed im- portant to state that most of this correspondence has been exchanged by cable and in cipher, and that as a natural consequence errors are to be expected to come to light when comparison can be made between these tele- grams as sent and received. It is even now stated that some, though probably not any very material part of the misunderstandings that have occurred with reference to the views and propositions of the two governments, must be assigned to these un- avoidable errors of the cable and cypher. On the general question of the hope of saving tho treaty recent developments are not yet suMcient to encourage any modification of the unfavorable opinion expressed with regard to its prospec Louisiana Elections in the Senate— Amnesty Again to Have the Civil Rights’ Kettle to Its Tail—The Goat Island Job. Pending the consideration of the bill providing that the State and Presidential elections shall be held tn Louisiana at the same time, Mr. Trumbull took occasion to intimate in the Senate to-day that the aim of its authors was to place the election under the control of Congress and the President, so as to enable the latter to suspend the writ of habeas corpus and exercise unconstitutional military power. explain, to obviate the necessity of devoting ‘two consecutive days to elections in Louisiana, and Mr. Trumbull assumed the position that it was un- constitutional, inasmuch as it directly interferes with the provision of the constitution giving State Legislatures the power to regulate the manner of holding Presidential elections. His remarks occasioned quite a buzz of excitement, and were combatted by Mr. Morton with great vigor. If Mr. Trumbull had been a member of the regular demo- | cratic minority in the Senate he would not have been more bitter in his assault on what he was Pleased to cail “unconstitutional Congressional supervision.” The democrats both on the floor and in the galleries gave evidence of their gratification at his course, The bill finally went over. Mr. Cameron, after repeated efforts, has at last succeeded in getting Wednesday of next week set apart for the consideration by the Senate of Tom Scott's Depot bill, which gives the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad the right to locate its depot on Pennsylvania avenue. the opposition to it. ‘The Senate now got under full headway with the consideration of the Amnesty bill. Mr. Sumner, as usual, moved his Civil Rights bill as an amendment. A point of order was raised that the Amnesty bill required a two-thirds vote for its passage, and Mr. Sumner’s bill, requiring only a majority vote, was not competent as an amendment. The Chair was sustained in its that the amendment was in order, and the debate proceeded. An agreement was made that the voting shall begin to-morrow, at three o'clock, when all debate shall be limited to five minutes for each Senator on each amendment, and it was further agreed to sit it out to-morrow night. | Senator Stewart's effort to have the Goat Island bill referred to the Committee on Public Lands was the occasion of a slight passage between Messrs. Cole and Conkling. The former wanted the bill referred to the Military Committee, which reference was opposed by its friends. ling assailed Mr, Cole with the charge that he had changed front in the premises, and wanted to know why Cole opposed the measure, of which he was formerly a Warm supporter. Mr. Cole replied that he had not changed front, and in such a manner | that Conkling construed his answer to mean, in a parliamentary way, ‘You lie.’ At any rate, denounced Mr. Cole's language as offensive in the extreme. The subject was then dropped. The Tariff Bill Before the House—The Salt Interest—The Coal Duty. Though tea and coffee have been put on the free list by both houses, and the matter disposed of, the temptation to talk abont free tea and coffee was too great to be resisted to-day, and a lengthy discussion upon the subject took place in the House. Mr. Kelley came manfully to the front, undaunted by his utter rout yesterday, and pleaded over again for the poor man’s free breakfast. Mr. Brooks answered by quoting the many articles besides coffee which go to make up the poor man's breakfast, and which the eloquent gentleman would tax to prohibition. He succeeded in showing the free breakfast not attainable while duties were from thirty-five to sixty-five per cent ad valorem on the many other articles which go to make up a “square meal,” from the tin cup in which he takes his coffee to the towels and soap with which the dishes would | be afterwards washed. After the usual quantity of | buncombe the two lines including the duty on these articles were stricken out, and Mr. Ritchie, of Maryland, offered an amendment making the duty on bituminous coal $1 instead of fifty certs, as pro- posed. The discussion of a tariff bill is a good school for the study of political comaistency. Care for the petty local interests of constituents is one of the most noticeable features of such a de- bate. Men who how! for free trade on principle are champions of high protection when it comes to the interest of “my district,” and the high protection- ists will plead long and loud for free tea and coffee, although unscrupulous in their efforts to serve the interests of high protection. The old threadbare arguments on the subject = of-—poilt- cal economy, protection and free trade were gone over again, and the day's work ended in making the duty on bituminous coal seventy-five such a course, and it was unanimously agreed that, to use @ homely phrase sometimes credited ta Mr. centa per ton, on the usual compromise plan.

Mr. Barks made a few senathle romarks—a habit to which he lends himself of tate. Ho deprecated this tendency toward theorizing and philosophizing, and called upon the House for practical methods in place of preaching, and advised all, when not able to get what they want, to take what they can get. “Why,' he asked, “refuseYfree tea because we cannot have the teapot free?’ Upon the subject of taxing coal, Mr. Cox, of New York, made one of his felicitonsly witty speeches, and closed by offering a burlesque ameudmeat closing windows, skylights, chinks and crevices, 80 as to exclude the light of the sun—a foretymer— so that light might be furnished by the coal miners of Pennsylvania and Americam industry protected. This pleasantry was appre- ciated and the laugh joined in by all. The debate on salt also drew fire from both stds, Michigan and New York bristling when a reduction: was proposed. Mr. Conger, who is taking rank withy Mr. Cox as a jester, spoke against reducing salt and* in favor of the Saginaw interests, Mr. Gar- fleld spoke earnestly in favor of reducing,. and said he stood between the extremes of protection and free trade. In regard to salt, he said he thought that when American salt could be sold in Canada for less than their own salt sold for and when the salt companies manufacturing here and those making it there enter into contract not to introduce the salt made by them into each other's territory and then mutually agree to raise the price, it is time to interfere. He exhibited a contract between two companies, from which he read, which agreed on this, He claimed or such interesta no need of protection, as it belonged to one of the classes which ought to be selected to shave down, and would bear considera- ble more before they reached the under skirt of protection, Pending the debate on salt, which Mr. Dawes succeeded in limiting to thirty minutes, for to-morrow, the House adjourned. The Tea and Coffee Duty Repeal. The Supreme Court decided under the act of October 3, 1865, that a duty of ten per cent must be imposed on that class of goods on the free list which were grown east of the Cape of Good Hope, but imported from places this side of the Cape, The question haying been raised whether tea and coffee came under the rulings of the Court, Secretary Boutwell to-day decided they do not, as the act ex- pressly declares that after the 1st of July next no further import duties shall be collected on tea or coffee. Boutwell a His Philadelphia Aspiras tions. Secretary Boutwell himself, to-day, in a conversa- tion, set at rest the rumors of his resigning as Secre- tary of the Treasury by saying that he has no such: intention, and, further, that he has no aspirationa for the Presidency, but will support Grant for re- election. The Enforcement of the Law. The Committee of Workingmen from New York had an interview with Secretary Boutwell to-day, in accordance with the wishes of the President, who gave them a card of reference to the Secretary. ‘They were accompanied by General James O’ Beirne. The retary received them kindly, and, after listening to the object of their visit and consulting with Mr. Rankin, the assistant supervising archi- tect of the Treasury Department, agreed with the committee that there had clearly been an evasion of the Kight-Hour law, and stated to the chairman of the committee that proper action would be taken in the premises, and orders immediately sent to New York to have the law enforced on the new Post OMce and Custom House buildings. He read the statement of the grievances pre sented by Mr. J. ©. Graham, the chairman, and placed it on file. ‘The committee then waited on the President ta thank him for his kindness and courtesy in regard to their interests. The President said he had in- structed the Attorney General to prepare an order for the immediate enforcement of the Fight-Hour law on all government work: RAGING IN KENTUCKY.
