WASHINGTON, May 13, 1872. Whe Enforcement Act and Its Amnesty Amendments in the Senate, ‘The bill to extend the operations of the Enforce- ment act so as to include any election precinct at which ten citizens may request the appointment of supervisors came up in the Senate te-day as un- Anished business, and occupied nearly the entire afternoon session. An amendment virtually provid- ing for general amnesty was oifered, which provoked conalderable discussion and was intended to defeat the bill, because while it could be added witha mere majority vote when it once became a part of ~ the measure, it would require a two-thirds ma- Jority to pass it. The five minute rulc was enforced, bat the Senatora succeeded in dodging it by offer- ing frivolous amendments, which they withdrew when they had concluded their speeches. Considerable amusement was occasioned by Mr. Trumbull’s earnestness, as a friend of the measure, and Mr. Sumner’s declaration that he would be compelled to offer his everlasting Civil Rights bill asanamendment, Trumbull had the floor, and stated that he didn’t know of the existence of such & thing as the Civil Rights bill, whereupon Mr. Sum- ‘Ber said :— “Oh! but Ido; attention.” Trumbull retorted with the customary demo- Gratic argument that civil rights as embodied in the threatened bill meant social equality. He talked about calling a mule a horse, and said the. mule was not thereby made to be a horse. Senator Scott insisted that the coupling of amnesty and Civil rights as contemporary measures was a5 inconsistent at this time as would have been the yoking of q cow and ass together by the Jews in violation of Leviticel law. Mr. Sumner replied to Mr. Trumbull by reading from one of Fred Douglass’ speeches, declaring that the colored people only demand equal rights before the law, and do not urge social equality. Mr. Trumbull, imi- tating Sumner’s veice and manner, created great laughter by quoting from one of Professor Lang- ston’s speeches a declaration that Langston de- Manded social equality. The democrats, in the meantime, remained quiet, as one of them subsequently remarked, for the pur- pose of letting the “radicals fight out the nigger question among themselves.” Sumner asserted that Langston had been incorrectly re- Perted in the speech quoted by Trumbull, and, ‘therefore, the latter’s authority was no authority atall. Trumbull got excited and was on the eve of losing his temper, when further debate was in- terrupted by the submission of the conference re- port on the Deficiency bill. Tha matter comes up again as unfinished business to-morrow, and Sen- ator Morton has the floor. It is quite probable that, in view of the tact of the passage of an amnesty bill by the House, its friends will be content to act upon the House bill as an in- @ependent measure, and the vote to-morrow on the amnesty amendment will therefore result in its de- feat. If this occurs the original measure will be earried by a strict party vote. Limiting the Tariff Debate—Amnesty. In the House to-day Mr. Dawes succeeded in limit- ing all debate on the Tariff Bill to Thursday’ after- @0on at three o'clock, when the vote will be taken. ‘The Amnesty bill, embracing 25,000 names, was report from the Judiciary Committee to the ‘House to-day, and eome interest excited over an attempt made by Mr. Elliott, of South Carolina, one of the colored members, to pass a resolution in con- nection with it instructing the committee to report @ Civil Rights bill. Mr. Rainey spoke with some feeling upon the course pursued by the opposition 4m taking advantage of Parliamentary tactics to de- feat this measure. He contrasted the action taken by his people toward the dominant race in advocat- ing and voting for amnesty, and appealed strongly for the same generous spirit to be displayed toward his race in the matter of civil rights, The Amnesty bill passed, and Mr. Butler, of Mas- sachusetts, took occasion to say that he should do alin bis power to havea Civil Rights bill intro- duced and considered at the earliest moment possi- bie. Mr. Elliott's resolution, requesting a suspen- sion of the rules, was not passed, Secret of the Voorhees Attack on Greeley= Plot to Ruin Hendricks at Baltimore. The remark of a sage democratic politician made a few days ago, on seeing Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana, and Senator Conkling locked arm in arm, walking through the rotunda of the ‘Capital, that “two red heads being together so much will produce fire,” were ratified by the explosion of a political bomb in the camp of the Greeleyites to-day. The whole affair ‘was prearranged. It wasaput-up job. It began, 0 doubt, witi the deadhead consultations re- ferred to, and evidenced its first prominent pub- Uelty by the following paragraph which appeared in the organ of the administration this morning :— Various rumors in regard to the political attitude of Hon. DL. W. Voorhees are greatly exercising the anterrified democracy of Indiana, whose chief spokesman he has long becn. It 1s said that he was willing, 80 far to waive his strict party allegiance, and I'll soon introduce it to your a5 to accept Judge Davies at the hands of the Cincinnatl Convention, had they presented But as to Greeley he halts and hesitates. Hla democratic colleagues are allowed to favor Greeley, and Mr. Voorlces is likely to lose favor in the district where his voice has long been 80 po- tential.

The best way to do this was tocompare Greeley with Grant, and by the eecord show the latter to be a more acceptable man go the democracy than tle? Cincinnati nominee, At the same time it had heen agreed that Voor- hoes shouliso far preserv® his consistency asa @emocrat to arrange the repulncan party in com- pany with Grocley, but there was another motive NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY. MAY 14, 1872.—TRIPLE SHEET. at work in the it ef this result, and Mr. Voorhees was. the speaking tool of two divers interests, It must be remembered that the district which he represents is so strongly democratic that it virtually controls the delibera- tions of the party in Indiana. Hence, when itis roused to opposition to any movement intended to strengthen the hands of democratic leaders in other districts, it is sufficiently powerful to override the voice of the conservative element and dictate terms for the whole party. ‘The world knows that ex-Senator Hendricks, of In- diana, has been mentioned as a possible candidate for nomination atthe Baltimore Convention, and, further, that his war record of votes for every army appropriation, commends Nim 49. she considera ilon’ of the liberal element of his constituency by rousing the radical democracy of the State, and Oring the hearts of Yoorheea! followers with des a hossstding we ures. ech fol- Jows that Mr. Hendricks’ conservative advice will be ignored, his friends put in the background or slaugh- tered in conventions and his chances for a nom- ination discounted by the certainty that his State wil send delegates to the Baltimore Convention committed against him. In other words, Mr. Voor- heca had been induced by some one, possibly in the interest of the most prominent democratic potiti- cians in Ohio, to use his best endeavors to get Mr. Hendricks off the track. In short, to use the forel- ble comment of an old line democrat, Mr. Voorhees, ‘knifed his friend Hendricks in the back.” Politica, like misery, make strange bedfellows, is atrite saying, which never hada stronger exem- plification than in thie wonderful combination of administrationists and democrats to slaughter with one and the same blow an old abolitionist and old Mne demecrat, Mr. Voorhees had made every preparation for the occasion, and had procured necegsary books of ref- erence, including the American conflict, when he took the floor. His object was sufficiently known to attract more attention than 1s ordinarily bestowed on personal explanations, and when the article quoted above was read every eye was turned towards him, Republicans left their seats, and the aisles on the democratic side were crowded to their utmost capaacity. As he proceeded with his speech excitement became in. tense and a breathless ailence prevailed" Mr. Voorhees was allowed to continue without interruption, except from the applause which his allusions to Grant and condemnation to Greeley brought from the republican side of the House. By this time his democratic friends became excited to such a pitch that they could contain themselves no longer. Forgetting time and place, and losing their tempers, many of them exclaimed, “out- rageous,” “he’s gone crazy,” “he has sold himself out to the republicans,” £0, Mr. Speer, of Pennsylvania, made this latter’ charge in tones loud enough to enlist Mr. Voorliecs’ attention, whereupon the Iatter retorted by charg- ing that the Pennsylvania democrats had all along been engaged in voting with the republicans on the tari question, + Sam Randall, boiling over with rage, cried out that he hadn't deserted the interests o! his constit- uency, a8 Voorhees had. Mr. Voorhees’ excitement increased to such a pitch that when Mr. Sherwood, of Pennsylvania, shouted, “That spech was made in the interest of the republican party,” he fairly trembled with passion, Mr. Roosevelt sup- plemented Sherwood’s opinion by giving publicity to arumor that Voorhees had been in.frequent consultation with President Grant. Turning to these last two he denounced their statements as false, and accompanying the assertion with a vio- lent gesture and clenched fist, proposed to “ cram the falsehoods down the throate” of hia assailants, Mr. Roosevelt reiterated his statement, say- ing that he had it from good authority, at which Mr. Voorhees retorted saying:— “The gentleman then associates with people who do not tell the truth.” Roosevelt sald something about having associated with Voorhees. The lat- ter stood alone amid. ghowhrs of ridicule from both sides of the House, and under the invective of his former friends declared that he had merely done his duty. ‘The utmost confusion prevailed. The Speaker's gavel and cries fot « , order,” were unheeded. Finally Mr. Voorhees retired to the ares in the rear of the seats, where he was followed by a number of democrats, some expostulating with him, and others—very few in number—offering congratula- tions. Messrs. Kerr, Niblack and Holman followed with non-committal explanations, intended to take the edge off of Mr. Voorhees’ tirade, and, after half an hour of the wildest excitement, the usual order of the House was restored. That this whole affair ‘was premeditated is further evidenced by the fact that Voorhees could not have made such a speech brimming full of historical allusions, without studied preparation, and further by the fact that he acknowledged to a friend to-night, “I have made this thing a study. IJay awake thinking about it 20 long that I dreamed of it last night. I don't think I have made a mistake, but I feel that I have done my duty.” ° ‘The Blaine Movement for the Presidential Nomination. It is capable of proof that a movement was begun as long ago as the holiday recess, to secure the nomination of Speaker Blaine as the candidate of of the republican party for President. Itis true, as has been stated, that he was induced about that time to withdraw his name as a can- didate for Vice President, for fear his candi- dacy for that position would injure his prospects for the head of the ticket. The movement received little active sympathy, until the tide of malcontents commence@ drifting towards Cincin- nati. Then it grew in favor with certain North- western republicans, and, finally, a sufficient num- ber of Congressmen from the extreme northern belt of States had joined the combination to make it formidable. Mr. Blaine’s personal popularity, which his powerful position as Speaker brings him in, giving him many opportunities to favor his fellow members of the House, together with the threatened quarrel in the party, were cogent reasons for its success. His consent was not sought at first, and possibly never was obtained; but his personal friends were sufficiently discreet in their conversation regarding the subject to convey the impression that he would accept a nomination and yet not compromise his fealty to General Grant. Letters were written to prominent parties in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan intended to promote the success of the combination, but evi- dently exerted little influence, as those States have declared for Grant and Colfax. After the actual division of the party over the Cincinnati! movement the scheme was abandoned. Mr. Blaine then gave in his adherence unequivocally to the nomination of General Grant. The whole affair was managed so discreetly that each and every person engaged in it could have said, and can now say, that he always was in favor ofGrant. In fact, it was “a feeler” for Blaine, and the foregoing statement embraces all the truth on which the recently printed stories regarding the pendency of a movement in his behalf are founded. The Working of the Eight-Hour Law In Government Arsenals. The Secretary of War has sent to the Senate reports from the Commandants of the Spring- fleld Armory and the Rock Island Arsenal giving a comparative statement showing the operations of the Eight-Hour law. With regard to the Rock Island Arsenal the Commandant says he believed it was expected that under the law the employés would work more willingly, more intelligently and with more strength and despatch than under the ten-hour system, and that there- fore more work would be done per hour to compensate, or partially compensate, the government for the loss of two hours’ work, This expéctation has not been realized at that arsenal, and in this respect the above statement respecting the compensative amount of work per- formed under the two systems {s entirely true. It has been claimed that if the men worked only eight hours per day that the ad- ditional leisure time allowed them would generally be devoted to reading and study, and otherwise to the benefit of their social, moral ad mental conditions, thereby making them better and@nore valuable workmen and citizens, This expeetatiom has been partially realized in the case of carpenters and mechanies, but has not been realized to any considerable extent ip | the case of masons and stonecutters. The leisure time has been generally an injury rather than a benefit in the case of laborers. Those in the latter class have generally no houses of their own, and their leisure time in most cases is more pro- ductive of bad habits than of good. The commandant of the Springfield armory says & careful calculation shows that an average saving of about five hundred dollars per year for gas for Nghting purposes is, effected by re- ducing the number of hours from ten to eight, which saving is principally in the short days of the winter months. The total saving in coal and gas is $2,900 per year of 300 working days in favor of the eight hour system, about equal to the wages of three workmen for the same time. On account gf the variable nature and the amount of work Gone before and after thé {ntréduction of the eight houF systent, some six. teen different models of guns having. been worked | on since the close of the war, it is found impossl- ble to give any accurate and reliable data regard. ing the cost of work by day workmen under the two systema, except, perhaps, that it is believed that the rates of foreman, <fssistant fore- men, inspectors, helpers, policemen, &c., to the piece workmen, were not materially affected by the reduction in the length of the working day. The National Union League. ‘The Nationa! Union League of America will meet at the Colonnade Hotel, in Philadelphia, on Thurs- a | The tlexet has alsoa day next, at two o'clock. ~The meeting will be an important one, in view of the present political situation, and there will be a full attendance from all parta of the country. The Compromise on Southern Claims Amendment. The conference report on the several amend- ments to the Deficiency bill embraces a compro- mise between the differences of the two houses, 60 worded as to exclude claims against the govern- ment once rejected by the Secretary of the Treas- ury, and now pending in the Court of Claims, from further relief in case of adverse decisions, while it provides that all other claims embraced within the purview of the act shall be adjudicated, no matter what previous action may have been taken regard- ing them, It also provides that receipts given for the payment of cotton claims shall be in full for all claims against the government. Thia result is ac- cepted as a compromise between the demands of the Treasury Department, supportea by the ex- treme radicals to exclude disloyal claimants from the Court of Claims, and the efforts of the lawyers supported by the liberals to open the door for the adjudication of the claims of pardened citizens un- der the decision of the Supreme Conrt. Colonel Roberts and Dr. Houard. Colonel W. R, Roberts to-day received a very com- plimentary letter from J. G. Houard, of Philadelphia, brother of Dr. Houard, the American citizen wrong- fully held by the Spaniards, which contains some very interesting news. The writer says:— T received a letter from a friend in Cadiz, who has visited my brother in prison, and he informs me that his health fs good, aithough uncomfortably sit- uated in the convicts’ depot, not being allowed to receive visitors, except on certain days, and always in the presence of the Governor of the depot. He also informed me that orders had been received from Madrid to detain him in Cadiz, and not to send him to Ceuta till further orders, He had not yet heard of tne action taken in Congress at the date of our friend's letter. He suffered very tnuch during the voyage from Havana to Cadiz, having been kent in heavy chains during the whole voyage. On his arrival at Cadiz these were changed to lighter ones, and in a few days, by reqnest of the American Min- ister, the chains were removed. Mexican Thieves in Arizona Executed. Information received as to the result of the inves- tigation of the murder of the two men at a stage station in Arizona, and the stealing of the horses, which was charged on the Tonto Apaches, hag developed the fact that within ten days of the murder the stolen horses were discov- ered in possession of two Mexicans, 200 miles from the scene of the murder and in an opposite direc- tion from the Tonto Reservation, Both the Mex!- cans were promptly executed. The Liverpool Consulate. Mr. Cox, of New York, introduced a resolution into the House to-day, which was passed, calling upon the State Department for copies of all com- plainta and accusations on file against the manage- ment of the American Consulate at Liverpool, Eng- land. This consulate has long been a grievance with the mercantile and shipping classes of New York interested in our commerce with Great Britain, but their remonstrances have been defied by the State Department, for reasons not clearly un- dertood.s The Florida Senatorship. Recent advices from Florida, based upon discreet deductions from tie action of the late Republican State Convention, state that the prospects for the re-election of General Osborn to the United States Senate are exceedingly favorable.
