| es —THET REATY, — Alleged Success of the Fish- Ratification Lobby. THE “LEEK” MUST BE SWALLOWED. Schurz, Trumbull and Casserly for the Supplemental Article. ‘Sumner Said To Be Weakening in Opposition. How the Herald Cets News. Its Progress of the ’Pon Honor Inquisition. WASHINGTON, May 22, 1872. The efforts of the State Department lobby to se- cure the ratification of the Supplemental Treaty continue to realize greater success than was even dreamed of when the article was submitted. In fact, the opposition was dwindled down to Mr, Sumner and a few consistent members who Still adhere to the belief that national honor demands a rejection of the Brit- (sh ultimatum. Mr, Sumner, appreciating this fact, and foreseeing the futility of an effort to stay the tide, has abandoned his intention to make Bset specch against ratificron. He intended to brepare another attempt, similar to the one which tesulted in the defeat of the Jolmson-Clarendon convention, but will not do so, because the situation {s now changed, and instead of appealing to a Senate at variance with tho administration he will be compelled to address men who are THOROUGHLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SECRE- TARY OF STATE. It {8 possible that Mr, Edmunds may sustain Mr- Sumner, but Messrs. Trumbull, Stevenson and Schurz are now announced to be in favor of ratifi- cation. This statement will no doubt startle the majority of American readers, who have believed that Mr. Schurz, with Mr. Casserly, would consti- tute a minority of the Foreign Relations Committee against ratification; but it is now evident that the Committee is UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR OF THE ARTICLE 4s it has been amended, It is true that Mr. Patter- fon, of the committee, desires a further amend- Ment; but he wili not press that amendment to the Aisadvantage of the pending proposition. AT THE EXECUTIVE SESSION TO-DAY, hich lasted about two honrs, nothing of import- @noe was done in connection with the question of ratification. Tho session was held on motion of Mr. Hamlion, who has recently been ex- alted to the position of conscience keeper for the entire Senate, for the purpose of : “a “SpoN MY HONOR) EXAMINATION bf each Senator regarding the premature publica- tion by the HeRatp of the late correspondence. As goon as the doors were closed and some routine business had been transacted Mr. Hamlin reported from - the special investigating committee @ resolution calling upon each Senator to give such information as might be {in his possession regarding the matter (¢ is understood that this resolution was in effect categorical, and as soon as it was adopted each member, as his name was called by the Clerk, got ap and gave a detailed history of the manner in which he had PRESERVED THE SECRET entrusted to him. The majority of them explained that they had carefully locked up their copies of tho correspondence, and all admitted that they had been interrogated in a more or less direct manner by both government oficials in the interest of the State Department and by newspaper men in the interest of thelr journals regarding its contents and regarding their views of the pros- pects of ratification. None of them admitted that they had been guilty of any indiscretion, and each vied with the other in efforts to cicar his skirts of all suspicion. It is rumored that one gentleman was forced to admit that his copy had been EXAMINED BY A MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY, and that le pledged his word that it was not im- properly used. A few admitted that the copies had not been s0 carefully guarded, but the declara- tion that it was impossible for the HeRraup repre- sentative to have obtained his copy from the Senate was finally unanimous. It is not im- probable that the matter will be allowed to drop, end THE GREAT MYSTERY regarding the manner in which the HERALD gets its news wWillremain unsolved. The question of pro- ceeding with the consideration ofthe treaty at the present session, 90 as to obviate the necessity of a special executive session, was then discussed at length. But without arriving at any conclusion the doors were opened and the Senate adjourned, NOVA SCOTIA, Great Hardships Endured by a Ship- wrecked Crew=Travelling Over Sixty Miles of IceThe Postal Service of Prince Edward’s Island.

Parliamentary Debate on the War Contract System. Exciting Scene in the Assembly—A Call on Bo- napartism for Restitution to the Nation— Censure of a Capitulating General. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Paris, May 22, 1872. Telegrams from Versailles report that during the session of the Legislative Assembly to-day the de- bate on the interpellation of the government with regard to the war contracts was continued, M. AUDIFFRET-PASQUIER replied with severity to M. Rouher, and vindicated his own exposure of the corruptions under the empire, He vigorously de- nounced Napoleon, and called on the empire, in the language of Augustus, to “restore to France her legions, her provinces and her glory.” The members of the Assembly and the crowds in the galleries were greatly excited, and repeatedly interrupted the speaker with passionate outbursts of applause, M. Rovner followed with a specch of two hours’ duration, which was listened to with impatience, and is pronounced unequal to the occasion. M. GAMBeTTA then rose and made a violent and bitter attack on the empire. The audience were remarkably quiet, and, although deep interest was manifested, the speaker received little or no applause, With M. Gambetta’s speech the debate closed and the sitting was adjourned, CENSURE OF A CAPITULATING COMMANDER.

Y., May 22, 1972, The Governor heard Judges Parker, Nelson and Wheaton to-day in favor of the Poughkeepsie Bridge bill, and closed the hearing. He also gave a hearing to both sides on the Cen- tral Railroad Penalty bill. Hearings were also given on several other bills of less general interest. The Governor has all these matters, including the Rapid Transit and New York and Brooklyn reforms, under advise- ment, He has signed the Rapid Transit and the Metro- politan Railroads bills, FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN M. 0'RORKE, Captain Michael O’Rorke, who served with dis- tinction in the Stxty-ninth regiment, National Guard, State of New York, during the war, when that military body.formed part of the Corcoran Le- gion, and who afterwards took an active part in the Irish national movement which led to the un- successful rising of March, 1967, died, in his thirty- third year, at his residence, 222 West Seventeenth street, in this city, on Monday last. Asa cautious, yet courageous conspirator, Who passed under the name of “Beecher,” and whose name, with a reward for his capture, was in the English Gazette, he was beloved by his brethren in Ireland and ng- land, as he had been by his comrades in arms during the war of the rebellion here. His funeral took place from his late residence yesterday. The officers of the gallant Sixty-ninth’ (his old regi- ment), headed by Colone! James Cavanagh, formed the guard of honor, while the band of the Sixty- ninth, a company of the Eminet Guard from New Jersey and a firing party from the Legion of St. Patrick were present as the military escort.

LOOUSTS IN KENTUCKY. CrxctNNatt, May 22, 1872, It 1s reported that locusts have appeared in large numbers in Bourbon county, Kentucky, and it Is feared they will do great dumave to frult, &, WASHINGTON. An All-Night Session of the Senate. The Ku Klux, Civil Rights and Am- nesty Bills Passed. THE VOTES IN DETAIL. How Cunning Carpenter Outflanked Sleeping Sumner. The House and the Sundry Civil Appropriations. MULLETT’S LITTLE DIFFICULTY. The Senate Committee Tugging at the Tariff WASHINGTON, May 22, 1872. The Grent Al.-Night Session of the Senate—Three Important Bills Passed— Sumner’s Nap. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock this morn- ing yesterday's session of the Senate ended. It y-three hours and twenty minutes, during which more important work of a political character was accomplished than in any preceding week of this Congress. It opened yesterday morn- ing with a debate on the Ku Klux bill, which lasted until four o'clock this morning, when the bill was passed, In the meantime Senatorial dignity had relapsed to such an extent that the sofas both in the area in the rear of the seats and in the cloak rooms were occupied with snoozing Solons, while the appur- tenances of the more comfortable committee rooms were brought into requisition for the same purpose. Not a few were so tired that they left the Capitol entirely, and retired to their virtuous couches like ordinary citizens in ordinary times. The yote on the bill was 28 yeas to 15 nays. At this juncture Mr, Sumner left, and pending his absence Mr. Carpenter, with customary shrewdness, forced the passage of Sumner’s eyeriasting Civil Rights | NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY. MAY 23 bill in an amended form, providing that it shall not | apply to schools, cemeteries or juries, any further than is required by existing laws. When it is re- membered that this bill, under Mr. Sumner’s man- agement, has been the political b¢éte noir of the Session, and been used by him to defeat amnesty half a dozen times, the full force of the trick will be appreciated. In fact, his entire session's work was lost by onc hour’s sweet sleep. He was caught napping on his post, and that, too, by a new Senator, against whose shrewdness he has more than once had occasion to combat. General Blair, Speaking for the democratic side of the House, said he believed the friends of civil rights were honest in their promises to vote for amnesty, and, there- fore, refrained from filibustering against the bill, There was no regular call of the Senate, but there was an understanding that, in the event of an important vote, the sleepers were to be awakened and brought in. Officers were accord- ingly sent hither and thither for that purpose, and invaded the quiet dwellings, as well as the com- fortable committee rooms, with the startling an- nouncement, “They are voting on civil rights.” The postal wagon was brought into use to convey Morrill, of Maine, from his house, and other ab- sentees were dragged (n by the inexorable demands of duty. Mr. Sumner did not arrive until after the vote— yeas 27, nays 14—had been taken, Ile wasina towering rage as he approached his seat, and made but little eifort to conceal his feelings. He fumbled for his desk key for some time, and, finding it, was so nervous that he had great dificulty in getting it into the keyhole. Then he moved to reconsider, but that Mttle game had been blocked by the customary parliamentary motions, and he was forced to remain and stifle his anger, while the Senate proceeded with the consideration of the House General Amnesty bill, His ill-humor con- tinued up to the adjournment, and induced him to join Mr. Nye in his vote against amnesty, which was carried by @ vote of 39 to 2. The news of Sumner’s defeat spread about town with great rapidity, and the laugh which followed was nearly as unanimous as that occasioned by the news of Greeley’s nomination at Cincinnati, Mr. Carpenter received the congratulations of a number of friends, After a recess until three o'clock this afternoon the Senate reassembled, with a comparatively fall attendance, and, although the members appeared worn and jaded by their previous night's work, they proceeded at once to business, and, after pass- ing a large number of private and other bills of minor importance, began consideration of the Ap- portionment bill. No final conclusion was reached up to the hour of adjournment. The Senate Finance Committee Working Hard at the Tariff. The Finance Committee of the Senate has beenin almost continuous session since it received the House Tariff bill, and the members have taken their meals, served from the Senate restaurant, in the committee room, Commissioner Douglas and Mr. Kimball, Chief of the Tobacco division, were called in for consultation regarding the changes in the whiskey and tobacco taxes, Several delegations, including one headed by George H. Brooks, of Cincinnati, representing the interests of the rectifiers, had brief hearings. The result of the Committee’s deliberations will doubt- less be a further reduction of both customs and in- ternal duties, including some changes of suficient importance to send the bill to a conference commit- tee, There are many stories afloat to-night regarding these changes, among which Is one that it has been decided to put coal on the free list. It is probably a fact that rectifiers’ special taxes will be consoll- dated with the general tax on spirits, and that only a sufficient rectifiers’ tax will remain to enable the officers of the law to trace the liquor from the dis- tillery to the purchasers. Architect Mullett and the House—In. vestigation Ordered. In the House to-day Mr, Garfield offered a revolu- tion directing the Secretary of the Treasury to in- vestigate the charges of corruption and ineflictency against Supervising Architect Mullett, which were made in debate yesterday by Mr. Farnsworth. There is some objection to this investigation being made by the Secretary of the Treasury, but only one opinion exists as to the advisability of investi- gation, Political Disabilities. The President this afternoon signed the bill to re- move political disabilities Imposed by the fourteenth article of the amendments to the constitution of the United States, This article provides that no per- son shall be a Senator or Representative in Con- gress, or elector of President and Vice Presl- dent, or hold any omMce civil or military un- der the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken oath as a member of Con- gress or as an officer of the United States, or asa member of apy State Legislature, or as an execi- tive or judicial oMcer of any State, to support the constitution of the United States, shall have been engaged in ingurrection or rebellion against the same or giving aid and comfort to tho enemies thereof. Congress has by the bill just passed, which obtained the requisite two-thirds vote in each House, removed the disabilities from all per- sons Whomsoever, except the Senators and Repre~ sentatives of the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses, oMlcers in the judicial, military and naval services of the United States, heads of depart- ments and foreign Ministers of the United States, The exceptions Will. it ls supposgd, Gover lopA than two hundred cases, ‘inelen.

The report of the disaster to the oMcers and crew of the Kansas at Greytown, on the 12th of April, has been received at the Navy Department from Commander Hatfleld, It is the opinion of naval oMcers that this loss of life would, in all pro- bability, have been averted had the wooden balsas, with which Commander Crossman had been pro- vided, been at hand. It is supposed that they were left at Key West from a possible want of knowledge of the danger of the bar to be crossed. Information has been asked in relation to the cask balsas, Commander Hatfleld has recommended that medals of honor be given to James Smith, John Johnson, R. T. Pile, Austin Denham, John O'Neil and George Hall for meritorious conduct on that occasion, The New Mexican Member of the Mixed Commission, Attorney General Guseman, of Mexico, ia expected here to-morrow, having been commissioned by President Juarez as the member of the American and Mexican Joint Commission on the part of Mexico in the place of Sefor Palacio. A Naval Station in the Islands—The Orange Free State. The President has made an arrangement or treaty with the chief of Tutuiia, one of the Naviga- tor’s Islands, for a naval station and coal depot. Navigators The island is seventeen miles in length and five in breadth, and is represented as abounding in fruits, with a healthy atmosphere, It is stated in oMcial documents that a wharf can easily be constructed and all the desired advantages obtained in one of the finest harbors of tie world at a comparatively trifling cost. The government has also concluded a perpetual treaty of amity with the Orange Free State of South Africa, which is represented here by J. H. Riley, Consul General. Arrival of Indian Chiefs. Red Cloud, the Sioux chieftain, with Red Dog, Little Wound, Blue Horse and about twenty-two other noted Sioux, including the squaws Ear of Corn and White Hawk, arrived in this city to-night. A Homeopathic Call at the White House. The members of the Homaop in session in this city, Institute, now ceompanied by their wives, called upon the President this morning and were received in the East Room, where the usual con- gratulations were exchanged. Stiff Storm at the Capital, The wind storm which prevailed this afternoon was accompanied by copious showers of rain and was very destructive tothe foliage of the public parks. Some ofthe tallest and handsomest trees in the vicinity of the President's house were torn bodily up by the roots, and the destruction of shrub- bery was quite extensive. The Baltimore and Potomac Depot Bill Approved. The President has approved of the Baltimore and Potomac Ratlroad Depot bill, granting a square of ground within the city limits for a depot site and other purposes. National Bank Receivers. The Comptroller of the Currency has appointed re- ceivers for the Waverley Nationa! Bank, New York, and the First National Bank of Fort Smith, Arkansas. A Treasury Promotion, Mr. R. H. T. Leopold, who has been for nearly a year past in charge of tho independent Treasury division of the Treasury Department, has been as- signed to the permanent charge of the division, in place of Mr. George Parnell, deceased. Naval Appointments by Seniority. There 18 @ determination on the part of naval oficers, as far as they can influence Senators, to have the question of appointments by sentority to bureau positions settled at this session. The test case is that of Surgeon Vivian Pinkney, who is entitled by right to seniority, but who, through favoritism, was put below Surgeon James C. Palmer, nominated for the position of Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Personal, W. Yates, United States Consular Agent at Bed- ford, England, arrived here this evening on a brief leave of absence. FORTY-SECOND CONGRESS. Second Session. SENATE.

The last House Amnesty bill was then passed— yeas 39, nays 2—Messrs.

Conourred tn. THR AMNESTY BILL. The SPEAKER presented the Houso Amnesty bill of the 13th of May, with the endorsemont of ita passage by Senate by the requisite two-th vote. He directed the bill to be road in full, pee the question was raised whether it required the approval of the President. r. BINGHAM, (rep,) of Ohio, contended that tt did, and a colloquy ensued between the Speaker and members, The SPEAKER finally stated that he was: tnformed by tho Clerk that all the amnesty bills heretofore passed were sent to the President for his signature, Mr. RANDALL, (dem.) of Pa., inquired how the matter would stand if the President should not sign the bill, ‘he SPKAKER—That ts a question for Congress, not for the Chair, It is the duty of the Chair to fol- low the precedents and practices of the House. It is purely a ministerial duty on his part and does not involve any constitutional question, Mr. RANDALL—I have not the least objection, if It will gratify the republican party, that the President shall sign an amnesty bill at this eleventh hour, Mr. BincHaM—Especially after the President's recommending amnesty in nis message. Mr. Beck, (dem.) of Ky.—{ desire to submit a resolution on thas point. The SrKAKER declined to entertain it. Mr, BeCK—By what authority does the Speaker send the bill to the President ? Tho SPEAKER—Because all other like bills have been sent to him, The Clerk informs the Chair that the practice has been usual and universal, Mr. BecK—That may be so. Tho SrEakER—Then why should the Chair assume to change the practice of the House? Mr. Beck—Why not let the House express its opin- fon on that point? ‘The SrkaAKeR—If unanimous consent be given the Chair will submit the question, Mr. BINGHAM—I object. Tho SpeaAKER—Then the Chair cannot entertain it as a question of privilege. Mr. Cox, (dem.) of N. Y,—I rise to a parliament- ary question, I would like, if possible, to avoid complications on this matter, Suppose the Presl- dent should retain this bill for ten days, until both Houses shall have adjourned, what eifect would that have on the law? The Sreaken—That ts not a parliamentary point, Itis not for the Speaker of the House to answer questions as to the probable course of the President of the United States, '. COX—I want to avoid trouble on this matter. ‘The SpEAk#R—There Will not be any. Mr. Cox—I want amnesty adopted. Mr. RANDALL moved that Mr. Rogers, of North Carolina, a member elect, whose disabilities are re- moved by this bill, be sworn in, The SPRAKER stated that that brought up the same question in a different shape, and he declined to entertain the motion. Mr. DaWzs, (rep.) of Mass., expressed regret that all the anxiety for amnesty seemed to be changed into solicitude lest THE PRESIDENT SHOULD APPROVE THR BILL. Mr, RANDALL—There 1s no such issue at all. The SPEAKER repeated that the precedents had been to send such bills to the President, and he would therefore walt to swear in Mr. Rogers until the bill was signed. THe would give it as his opinion, however, that the House would not have to wait very long. THE TREASURY ARCHITECT, “IELD, (rep.) of Ohio, offered a resolution quoting statements from Mr. Farnsworth’s speech of yesterday against Mr, Mullett, Supervising Archi- of the Treasury, and ordering that the Secre- 'y of the Treasury be informed of the charges so made, and requested to cause the same to be in- vestigated, and to take such action thereon as the result of such investigation shall require, After a long discussion the resolution was adopted, with an amendment offered by Mr, Farns- worth, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to report specific answers to the charges made in Mr. Farnsworth's remarks, The House then, at half-past twelve o'clock, went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Wheeler, (cep.) of N. Y., in the chair, on the SUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATION BILL. Among the amendments adopted to the bill was one offered by Mr. TOWNSEND, (dem,) of New York, appropriating $1,500 for fog bells at Furt Hamilton and Fort Columbus, New York Harbor. Having progressed as far as the forty-second page of the bill, which contains fifty-three pages, the committee rose. Mr, WiiRE! introduced a bill granting twenty- five acres of military reservation at Pintespure, N. Y., to the New York and Canada Ratlroad Com- pany, Passed, @ House then, at balf-past four o'clock, ad- jJourned, SERENADE TO ASSEMBLYMAN WHITBECK.

The Seventh vegiment band furnished the music, and after they had finished playing in front of the house three cheers we roposed and heartil, yepenees to by the crowd in the street. r. Whitbeck, in response to the cheers, sald that it gave him great pleasure to receive an acknowledgment like the present from his constituents, and that he thought they would like to know why he did not vote for the “Seventy’s charter.” If they did, he would refer them to the Governor’s veto, which em- bodied all his objections. He further stated that the State Legislature was not all it had been ainted to be, and in confirmation of his statement e said that it had taken action on 1,800 bills and had passed 900 of that number. It had taken active and, in fact, exclasive part in _—, investigations and impeachments. It has taken action on eight city charters, two of which were for the city of New York. Mr. Edward Roberts, the chairman of the serenading committee, made a speech when eis were assembled in the hall, He said that Mr. Whitbeck had been jistrumental in the passage of no less than twenty bills, and that his constituents found fault with him for not voting for the Seventy’s charter, but “did we send Mr, Whitbeck to Albany a4 a tool ora machine? No! We sent him as a man of conscience and a re- former, and that he has acted as such none can deny.” ‘At the reception the following toast was proposed and responded to by the gentlemen w are affixed to them ‘Our Represent: Whitbeck; “Our City, Charles Crary Horace Bernard; “Our Ladies,” Colonel Willis; “No Politics,” Alexander Thenil; “The Press,’ Mr. Mason, of the Tribune.
