At last a systematic attempt is being made by the United States government to stop the depredations of the Mexican cattle thieves.

President Thiers Defends the Army Bill Before the Assembly—Trochu’s Motion for Short Term Service Rejected—Peace with the Nations. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Paris, June 8, 1872. ‘The session of the National Assembly to-day was mainly devoted to debate on the Army bill. President Thiers was present. He participated ‘in the discussion and made the principal speech of tthe sitting. He solemnly proclaimed that France ‘desires a long peace with all nations, He opposed jthe views of General Trochu on the bill as em- raced in the latter’s speech in the Assembly uring the session of Thursday last. Upon the con- clusion of the debate the amendment of General ‘rochu, reducing the term of service in the army ab five—as provided by the bill—to three, with a provision that the term may be further reduced to ‘two years for meritorious conduct, was rejected by a vote of 462 to 228, THE ATALANTAS.

The interest in the race between the Atalanta and London crews, which is appointed to take lace next Monday afternoon, increases daily. The betting is now three to one agairst the American crew. BOATING ON THE HUDSON. Whe Contest for the Manhattan Club Medal Postponed—The Double Scull Race, dé. Yesterday afternoon the qufet little village of Manhattanville was alive with excitement, caused by the expectation of a grand single scull race for the Manhattan Boat Club medal, between Mr. Edward Deering and Mr. Martin Doolan. Long be- fore the stated time for the race had arrived crowds began to line the river bank and the pier; but, sad ‘to relate, their hopes and expectations were doomed to disappointment, as the race savas not rowed. Messrs. Doolan and Deering foeing the contestants, the interest very naturally centred upon them, and the assembled multitude threw admiring glances at them as they sauntered gp and down the pier. A person without a knowl- edge of the antecedents of the men as boatmen wwould be decidedly influenced in Mr. Deering’s Yavor by his fine physique. He is about twenty ears of age, five feet nine inches in height, and ywerfully built, weighing 160 pounds. Mr. Doolan the diametric antipode of Mr. Deering in pearance. He is @ light built man, bout twenty-nine years of age, and weighs bout 130 pounds. Mr. eering’s style f pulling isas unlike Mr. Doolan’s as is bis ap- arance. He pulls a heavy stroke, while Doolan mils that light, quick, feathery stroke which of te years has become so popular. Large odds were fered on Doolan, but found very few takers, for it will be remembered that Doolan has won several aces, among others the one in which he carried oif he club medal, to which Mr. Deering aspires. lan, however, has a lease of the medal, and here is little chance of its changi hands his season. The men came the Btarting point, Deering in @ _— shell a | Doolan in a seventeen-foot working boat. in ‘Even with these odds in his favor Deering ‘efused to pull, complaining that the water was oo rough; but it was as calm as ever it will be. | Sow, When is the race coming off? Deering turned | «fhe dock and retired, Doolan, much disappointed, following. Maledictions were heaped with @ ‘haritable bounty upon the retiring man’s head by | he assembled multitude when it was discovered hat he refused to row. But it is not to be pte | hat the medal is to be left in Doolan's hands. | so! The race is to come off by and by. DOUBLE SCULL RACER. A double scull race was also on the programme for the afternoon. The following gentlemen were entered :—Martin Doolan and George Kuntz, Ed- ward Deering and Nicholas Kuntz. ie course was from the Manhattan Dock to the sugar refinery, Carmansville, and return, making in all @ distance of three miles. Messrs. Deer- Ing and Kuntz won the race, doing the distance in twenty-seven minutes. Doolan and ‘Kants did not come in, they having met with an accident. The crowd were, strange to say, quite undemonstrative ; but this may be attributed to the fact that Deering was in tne winning boat—not so much that he refused to row with Doolan, but that Doolan, who is very popular with the people, was pot the winner. At a meeting of the Board of Police, held yester- | day afternoon, D. B. Hasbrook was appointed Chief of the Bareau of Elections, at a salary of $5,000 a year. A resolution was passed notifying the Chief ‘\ » Of the Bureau of Elections just abolished by law to transfer ali the records of his office to the new pureau.

WASHINGTON, June 8, 1872. The despatches exchanged to-day between Minis- ter Schenck and Secretary Fish, and Earl Granville and Sir Edward Thornton, indicate that the British government has discovered a new source of excuses for dilatory action and captious criticism, and has proposed an amendment to the supplemental article to cover a certain class of claims which are believed to be left unprovided for in the article as it now stands. For the tenth time Mr. Fish replied that the Senate's article is our ultimatum, and that it was useless to propose amendments of any Kind, A question of veracity has arisen between Minister Thornton and Secretary Fish, of a similar character to that between the British and Ameri- can members of the Joint High Commission, on the subject of indirect claims. Granville asserts on the authority of Thornton that Secretary Fish told him in plain langtage that the article adopted by the Senate was capable of improvement, as it lefta large ciass of very probable cases un- provided for, and that Mr. Fish distinctly indicated some of those cases arising from the use of the word ‘belligerent’? in the language of the supplemental article as proposed by the British government and accepted by the Senate. This statement alarmed Granville, who, since the question regarding the disposition of the three classes of indirect claims before the Geneva Tribunal,—viz. :, the enhanced rates of in surance, transfer of our mercantile marine and the prolongation of the war—has, upon the authority of Mr. Thornton, pressed Mr. Schenck to propose to our government such an amendment as would pro- vide against the claims referred to by Mr. Fish. Mr. Fish positively denies that he ever gave Mr. Thornton any assurance that would justify him in pressing farther amendments, He says quite as emphatically as Mr. Thornton asserts to the contrary that he never told the British Minis- ter that he desired or that our government desired any amendments of the kind. Mr. Schenck has been instructed to declare to Earl Granville in the most emphatic manner that it is useless to pro- pose or discuss amendments to the Senate article. The impression is fast gaining ground here that Schenck has become the amanuensis of Granville, REPORT FROM LONDON. The Indirect Claims Negotiations Progressing Toward a Settlement. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALO. Lonpon, June 8, 1872, The Datly Telegraph newspaper this morning Says it has reason to believe the negotiations with the United States government relative to a definite settlement of the consequential damages contro- versy are progressing satisfactorily. REV. DR. HUSTON. The Ecclesiastical Court Pronounce a Verdict of Not Guilty. The Acquittal Severely Commented Upon by the Friends of the Prosecution—The Reverend Gentleman Will Now Press a Suit for Libel for $100,000. BaLtrMorg, June 8, 1872. On the 24th of February last the most terrible rumors were published by the American, in this city, connecting the name of the Rev. Dr. Huston, one of the eminent divines of the Methodist Episco- cal Church South, and at that time the pastor of Trinity church, in this city, with the grossest violation of the moral code and the most disgusting, licentious crimes known to humanity. These charges were taken up and heralded all over the land, and at the Confer- ence, held at Warrenton, Va., in March, a commit- tee was appointed to investigate these charges, and its labors have been duly printed in the HERALD each day from these despatches. The ecclesiastical committee that has been in session for nearly three weeks investigating these grave charges against the chasity of Rev. Dr. Huston was left in session last night deliberating upon its verdict. THR COURT IN SESSION ALL NIGHT. All night long the committee pursued its labor, for every word of the testimony taken ate the long, tedions inqniry had to be read over and digest- ed anew, and it was not until fifteen minutes after seven o'clock this morning that the sleep-weary preachers who composed the Court finally deter. mined upon the following as the result of their de- Uberations :— THE VERDICT. We, the undersigned, a committee appointed to investi- gate the charves and speetfleations preferred against the ey. D. Huston, D. D., find that the sald charges are not sustained, because tiie said specifications are not sus- tained. ev. NELSON HEAD, D. D. ov. L. M. ORENSHA ev. LN. SPANGLER, D. D, Rev. B. ti, WHISNER. Rev. THOMAS E. CARSON. The committee then adjourned sine die, after di- recting the Presiding Elder, Rev. Mr. Rodgers, to notify the accused of the result of the investiga- tion. Hardly had the committee adjourned ere THE NEWS OF HIS ACQUITTAL SPREAD over the whole city, and his friends at once hastened to congratulate the Doctor upon his triumph, and ail day long his quarters at the Futaw House have been thronged. Indeed, 80 constant have been the visits that he was obliged to-night to remove to a house of a friend to get the rest that he sorely needs. The Doctor received the congratulations of | his well wishers with considerable feeling, and all day seemed to hardly soe preaees the good fortune that had to come to him, because he wel! knew the | influences that had been brought to bear to secure aconviction were very great, and the prosecution had been urged with ail the vindictiveness that at- taches to any criminal prosecution In a court of law, but he had stood the storm and come out all right; and while he and his immediate friends, as well as those who had been on the fence, rejoiced the accusers were correspondingly sad. LOUISIANA. Finale of the Democratic State Convention. The Convention « Perfect Pandemonium—Loud Threats of Vengeance Against the Reformers— How the Dignified New Party Outwitted the Old Standbys—Withdrawal of Del- egates in Disgust—The State Nomi- nations—D. D. McEnery (?) for Governor—The Adjourn- ment Sine Die. New ORLEANS, June 8, 1872, The Convention was to meet at ten o'clock, but the delegates did not come to time. A good many were caucusing over the ticket, especially the city men, who were alarmed by the evident signs of insurrection against the arrangements of the Con- ference Committee. The business had been inju- diciously contrived, but it was too evident that the little knot of so-called reformers had outwitted the democrats. The President of the Reform Conven- tion, who had proclaimed the dissolution of the democratic party, and who is supposed to be a Grant man, was placed at the head of the ticket, As there were several democratic Bourbons who wanted this nomination and who were therefore very hostile to the Warmoth alliance, the commit- tee’s choice had the effect of arousing general disgust. GREELY'S FRIENDS PPPREHENSIVE. ‘The Greeley men saw in it a scheme to throw the State for Grant. The last ditchres thought that the dignity of the party had been sacrificed by making such concession to a small circle of ofice-hunting reformers, and the Warmoth coalitionists were op- posed to it on general principles. The latter were the oniy persons really pleased with the support, because they soon discovered that it was calcu- lated to forward their views. Oonsequently, when the Convention met this morning, there was a general opinion that the report would be beaten, The early hours of the session were taken up with oratorical elocutions for and against the nomination, CONDEMNATION OF NEGRO RULE. Reeves, of Texas, made a speech, in which he drew a fearful picture of the condition of affairs in his parish under negro rule. He was followed by Judge Eagan, who favored the ticket endorsement on the grounds of honesty, capacity and avail- ability. McCall followed on the same side. The previous question was now called, and amid intense excitement the ballot proceeded; it resulted in a defeat of the Conference report by a vote of 147 to 126. SANDIGO EXPLODES HIS BOMBSHELL. Mr. SANDIGo then took the floor, and said that in consideration of the fact that the Convention was now at the same point where it commenced, he therefore offered the following resolution :— Resolved, at in some of the possible, if not probable, action of the democratic party at the approaching Balti: Tore Convention, in declining to nominate a third candi: date for the Presidency, and of the endorsement of the Cincinnati nominations, the present Executive Committee of the democracy of Loulslana are tnstructed to call a new Convention, to be held at Baton Rouge on the first Monday in September next, in which our friends of the reform party and all the elements of opporition to, Gen ral Grant are invited to participate, when a state ticke Will bo nominated ; and this Convention do now adjourn THE RESULT OF THIS MANIFESTO. This produced intense excitement. Hunt sprung to his feet and pronounced it an insult, and for a while political Vso prevailed ; men were on their feet wile Ny foreculsting. and the lobby was loud tn applause, regarded the resolution as avirtual abandonment of the democratic party, and it was accordingly voted down by a large majority. The Convention now fairly boiled over with rage and excitement, Excited speakers pro- tested ugainst killing the democratic party; mo- tions, resolutions, substitutes and points of order followed one another in inexplicable turmoil, the Chairman’s hammer keeping ir a lively but useless tattoo. When affairs calmed down a better feeling prevailed. A general expression of feeling was in- dulged in to the extent that too much enmity and bitter feeling had been raised in the present Conven- tion to permit any i er or judicious understand- ing to be arrived at. The disorder continued for over an hour, when the previous question was eer. apda motion to go into nominations pre- vailed. DISGUSTED DELEGATES WITHDRAW. The delegation from East Felictana then an- nounced their formal withdrawal, feeling confident that a straight-out democratic nomination was equivalent to defeat. Mr. McEuery appealed to them to remain, uselessly. The Nachitoches dele- gation then withdrew, id finally the parish of Lafayette. THE STATE NOMINATIONS. Nominations for a Gubernatorial candidate were deolared in order, and they turned up as plentiful as bugs in June. No election on the first ballot. On the second D. D. McEnery, of Ouachita, was nominated as the candidate for Governor.’ B. F. Jonas, of Orleans, was upon the second ballot nomi- nated for Lieutenant Governor. Afterwards Allen Jewel was nominated for Audi- tor; H. D. Ogden, of Orleans, for Attorney General; Robert M. Lusher, of Orleans, for Superintendent of Public Education, and Alex. Bowman, of Caddo, tor Secretary of State. ADJOURNMENT, After the nominations some business of minor importance was transacted, gine | votes of thanks to the officers, and then the Convention journed sine ate, e Baltimore delegates go uninatructed. The ice of the Convention has produced general dis- satisfaction, and only the fire-eaters have any hopes of success. In the opinion of the majority of the Convention, particularly among members from the country parishes, it 1s generally admitted that to- day’s proceedings amount to a virtual disruption of the party in this State. A movement has already been instituted among the disaffected democrats, looking to the formation of a liberal party upon the Cincinnati platform, which will swallow all elements opposed to General Grant, and hold a State Convention in August or September. To this course many of the prominent dele- gates remaining in Convention are aiready pledged. THE REFORM CONVENTION. The Reformers Adjourn Amid Great Ta- mult—Horrified and Exasperated by the Action of the Democrats—No Nomina- tions—An Address to the People—The Chairman's Significant Speech Before the Adieus, New ORLEANS, June 8, 1972. The Reform Convention was called to order at noon to-lay. Personal explanations and bun- combe speeches occupled ita time for about an hour, when it took a recess, awaiting the action of the Democratic Convention in regard to the con- ference committee and joint report on nomina- tions. During the session a motion to adjourn sine die was tabled by a small majority. Reassembling at half-past two P. M., Mr. Fenner offered a resolution to adjourn until June 15, anda lively debate sprung up, in which amendments and substitutes were offered in profusion, While the Chair was endeavoring to extricate itself from the tangle news arrived that the Democratic Conven- tion had rejected the joint nominations and were then proceeding to form a straight-out ticket. MORE TROUBLE THREATENS THR PASTOR. They denounced the Court in unmeasured terms, and the more active of them at once set about to invent some new scheme to give the reverend gentleman more trouble. It was first proposed to jd the school girl who Sonus: the charge to go before a magistrate and make oath to her state- ment, 80 that he might be arrested upon the charge of adultery, but for some reason was aban- | doned ; and this evening they declare that on Mon- day they will have him indicted by the Grand Jury. COMMBNTS OF THE PRESS The American, which is the brains and spirtt of | the prosecution, the Bs agate of which Dr. Hus- | ton has sued ‘for Mbel, laying his damages at $100,000, had an editorial in the afternoon edition characterizing the trial as a mockery of Justice and declaring the whole community shocked by the un- There is a great diversity of nstice of the verdict may be considered when it Is nown that every one of the committeemen was a comparative stranger to the accused.

Of course they all few into a rage and roared in a terribly indignant manner at the rude rebut thus administered. All were on | the floor at once, talking, protesting and | declaring. Symptoms of a serions row were apparent, when suddenly the Chairman quieted the storm by announcing that the Convention had ad- | journed until haif-past seven o'clock this evening, in order, he said, to Sind out what the democrats really did mean by their strange conduct. In uproartous humor the deiegates then scattered, amid shouts of laughter, cat-calls and fronicai cries, pro- digious farce, Evening Session. In the evening they reassembled again, and, not- withstanding tie sweltering heat, crowded the hall to suffocation, A notification of the action of the Democratic Convention was soon laid before them in the form of a communication through the | Chairman. One speaker moved it be received with- | out comment; another that tt be laid on the table, and a third that it be rejected, which was received with applause. Then the orators unloaded their | respective cargoes of disgust. One pronounced | | | | THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DEGRADED, and said it had erected its tombstone; another said it Was preposterous in the simail number of demo- crats to propose a slate for the great party of re- formers, and still another, Ogden, refused scorn- fully the nomination of Attorney General. They carried the house with them, andin a rush of ex- citement, breaking out in yell and groans, the resolution refusing to ratify the nominations was adopted, Resolutions were then passed ordering the State Executive Committee to prepare AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA, setting forth their grievances and the shabby treatment they had recayam, and adairs com- menced quieting down, when another was raised @ Kerr again throwing in the old flre-brand, This time it was in the shape of a resolution authorizing the Executive Committee to co-operate with all other liberal and conservative elements. smells of Warmoth,” shouted an trate delegate, Kerr protested that he was horrified at the sug- gestion, and then proceeded to make a and ame poten an of his resolution. seanwe ion as an rtinence, an ‘was withdrawn. -_— THE CHAIRMAN FAVORS GRANT. The Convention then adjourned, subject to call, when Chairman Williamson made a speech decid- edly in favor of Grant, much to the disapprobation of a majority of the members, And so ends another of those political paroxysm through which the democratic party of Louisiana is now passing— to death or resurrection, YACHTING. The Regattas of the Now York, Brooklyn and Atlantic Yacht Clubs. THE YACHTS AFLOAT. The “merry month of June” may fairly be deemed the yachting month par excellence of the season, as, although the yachting season is said to commence in May, it is more a month devoted to preparatory movements than to action, This month we shall have about twelve regattas in these waters and as many more in the neighborhood of Boston. The coming week brings lively times among the smaller yacht clubs, as Wednesday and Thursday have been set apart for the regattas of the Columbia Yacht Club and the Jersey City Yacht Club. These clubs, however, are mainly represented by small boats, and their regattas, although of much interest toa certain clique, do not attract the attention of the general public as much as the annual carnival of the large schooner and sloop yachts owned by the New York, Brooklyn and Atlantic Yacht Clubs, THE NEW YORK YACHT OLUB have decided to hold their annual regatta upon ‘Thursday June 20, over the usual regatta course, At a recent meeting of the club it was de- cided to sail the regatta under the new system of measurement based upon the cubical con- tent, and consequently the measurer will have a merry time getting the measurement of the fleet before the day of the regatta. The club have also decided to get oif by a fying start, and they have abolished the rule limiting the number of men each yacht shall carry. The tug Schultz has been char- tered for the use of the regatta committee and the press, and the Magenta will be freighted with the club members and their friends. There will be two prizes in each, one on actual time and one on time allowance, but a rule has been passed preventing any one yacht winning both prizes. ‘he regatta this year will be very interesting, as, although there are not many new yachts, altera- tions have been made in some of last year's flyers that it 1s calculated will much improve their sailing qualities, The contest between the Magic, Columbia, Madeleine, Tidal Wave, Resolute, Wanderer, Dreadnaught and the new schooner yacht Viking will be looked forward to with much interest. The Columbia and Madeleine have had several little spurts to- gether, and although the latter got a little the best of the spurt on one occasion, the Columbia more than regained her laurels two days later, as she beat the Madeleine about twenty minutes in a fifteen-mile race. The Resolute is also said to be sailing very well, and the fleet little Magic will, doubtless, appear in her old form and bring back to the minds of the spectators a scene of two years ago, when she won the most glorious regatta ever sailed in these waters. The sloops Gracie, Addie, Vixen and Kate will have a new antagonist to meet in the Vision, a new sloop, now being completed for Mr. Alexandre. THE BROOKLYN YACHT CLUB have decided to hold their Club and Union Re- gatta on Saturday, June 22, and as the club now musters fifty-six yachts’ in the fleet, they will doubtless make a picsaeeeave display. The race will be sailed over their regular course, and under time allowance, unless based upon length and breadth alone, as ‘they find the measurer will not have time to measure the fleet upon the sys- tem based upon the cubical content. Two steamers will accompany the yachts round the course, one carrying the members of the club and their friends, andthe other bearing the judges and the press. Captain Beling’s new sloop yacht, the Meta, will make her first appearance in public at this regatta, and the Gracie and Addie will have to look out, with such a big antagonist in the race. THE ATLANTIC YACHT CLUB will hold their seventh annual regatta on Tues- day, June 18, The course for schooners and first class sloops will be from the anchorage oif Bay Ridge down through the Narrows, to and around a stakeboat at Southwest Spit, thence to and around the lightahip, rounding the same from the southward, thence home, going to southward and westward of beacon on Romer shoal. For second class sloops: the same course, to and around stakeboat at South- west Spit; thence to and around a stakeboat near a buoy in Gedney Channel, rounding the same from the southward; thence home, passing to the west- ward of beacon on Romer shoal. The third class sloops Will sail the same course to and around the stakeboat at Southwest Spit; thence home. The steamer Magenta, carrying, the guests of the club, will accompany the yachts around the course. Mr. Thayer's new schooner yacht Triton, built by Herres- hoff, of Bristol, will make her first appearance in public at this regatta. The race for THg WALLACK CUP will be sailed on MOnday, June 24, by the yachts of the New York Yacht Club. It is not decided over what course, but as the ontside course debars the public to a great extent from witnessing the con- test Mr. Wallack will probably have the race sailed over the regular regatta course. THE WESTERN TORNADO. Great Devastation in Central Illinois Rallroad Property Damaged to a Large Extent and the Riyers Overflowing. Ca0aG0, Iil., June 8, 1872, Further reports concerning the great storm of Thursday night in Central Liinois show that an tm. mense amount of damage was done in Peoria, Ful- ton, Knox and other counties in that section of the State, The devastation of bridges on the country roads has been almost universal. In the city of | Peoria fences and trees were blown down and the cellars filled with water. Every railroad leading out of that city suffered more or less, and no trains leftthere yesterday. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad had about four miles of its track and m y bridges swept away. The Toledo, Peoria h road also suffered severely, losing one bridge of 160 feet in length and the entire roadbed ina number of places, A large force of men has been set to work repairing damages, and there will be but little interruption to tra In the town of Hilton the damages are fearful; the town is almost entirely under water, and the barns, stock, &c., have been swept miles away. ‘The most singular circumstance of the storm is the running up stream of the Iinois River; the im- mense Volume of water that poured into the stream has created a back-water, and there is a strong current running northward, The river last night was still rising rapidly, and fears of serious damage from this source were entertained. The Tornado in Ohio. CINCINNATI, June 8, 1872. A terrible tornado passed Bellefontaine, Ohio | and vicinity last night, tearing up trees and un- roofing houses in the towns of Degraf and Quincey, Ohio, The latter place was nearly destroyed, fifty persons we injured. At Degraf ten or tw 8 buildings were blown down, the Methodist church being utterly destroyed. Mrs, Roll and two chil- dren were killed, Fatal Effects of the Storm. ToLEDO, Ghio, June 8, 1872.

The Senate After an All- Night Session. THE APPROPRIATION ACT PASSED. The Bill and Accepted Amend- ments in the House. A Conference Committee Appointed. THE DIFFICULTY WITH CUBA. eh ed The Alleged Filibuster Fannie Sailed for Turks Island. WASMINGTON, June 8, 1872. Spectators at the Capitol. The galleries at the Capitol are filled to-night with spectators of the proceedings, many anxiously waiting for some turn in events to bring up meas- ures in which they are interested, but the greater portion are attracted by the eurlosity which always attaches to a night seasion on the eve of the final adjournment, The Senate’s Deliberations on the Amendment to the Appropriations Bill. The labors of the Senate since the adjournment of the Philadelphia Convention have assumed an almost unequalled degree of earnestness, As a proof of the determination of the majority to avoid tho necessity for an extra session the Sundry Civil Appropriations act was taken up on Friday, and, with the Enforcement bill amendment, discussed until nine o’clock this morning. It was again taken up and passed with the amend- ment after the expiration of the morning hour. It was then sent to the House and a conference committee appointed to re- port on Monday. Numerous other measures were disposed of yesterday, and the general opinion now is that the long-mooted extra session will not be called, At ten P. M. to-night the Senate went into executive session, bat without transacting any business of importance adjourned until nine o'clock on Monday morning. The Senate Enforcement Bill—The Action of the House—An Arrangement to Refer It to a Conference Committee. The Enforcement bill, which the Senate put as an amendment on the Civil Sundry Appropriations act, came tothe House from the Senate at an early hour to-day, and the entire time has been spent in en- deavoring to get the bill before the House for ac- tion. The opposition has marshalled its forces in old style, and presented a solid front against the passage of the bill, Efforts were made on both sides to effect a compromise, the majority offering to non-concur in the Senate amendments and to send the bill to a committee of conference. The minority refused to aceede to this, for the reason that if it came back from the committee of conference with these amend- ments agreea to a majority could then pass the bill. A conference report being one of the highest privileges of the House, the minority offered to ac- cept the proposition of the majority on condition that any portions of the bill that should be po- litically objectionable should be considered as com- ing under the two-third rule, To this the repub- licans refused to accede. After spending the day in dilatory motions, excepting the passage of a few bills, an arrangement was come to at a quarter to ten to-night by which the democrats agreed to accept the proposition of non-concurriag in the Senate amendments, and the reference to a conference committee, on condition that the House should take a recess until eight o'clock on Monday morning, when the conference committee will be ready to report, and then, in case the objec- tionable Senate amendments should still be in the bill, the democrats intend to filibuster the remain- ing four hours of the session, so as to defeat the bill. But there is now every reason to believe that the Senate will recede from their amendments, which are considered unprecedented in the history of legislation. The conference committee on the part of the Senate are Senators Edmunds, Cole and Stevenson, and on the part of the House, Messrs. Garfield, Palmer and Niblack. There are various opinions as to an extra session being called, but the prevailing opinion to-night is that it will be unnecessary. It is understood that the President does not consider himself justified in calling an extra session, as it is the duty of Con- gress to perfect necessary legislation iu its own time, New York Republican Association, The New York Republican Association, at a meet- ing to-night called to ratity the Philadelphia noml- nations, unanimously passed a resolution of sym- pathy with the workingmen on strike for eignt hours in the State, and protested in advance against any tampering with the eight-hour laws of | Congress and the State Legislature, Departure of the Steamer Fannie, Alleged Cuban Filibuster. Mention was made in these despatches of Thurs- day that the representatives of the Spanish Lega- tion had called attention to the fitting out of se ral vessels suspected of being intended to ald the Cuban insurrection, The steamer Fannie, an ocean propeller of 3 ons, Speed master, one of the sus- pected vessels, left Baltimore yesterday with a cargo of coal and lumber for Turk’s Island. The cause for believing that she was to aid the Cubans is stated in the communication of the Col- lector of the Port to the Secretary of the Treasury. The Fannie was recently purchased from Brandt & Co. by the former owner of the Hornet, a pledge having been given that the Hornet should never be permitted to violate our neutrality laws again. Her owner made haste to get her of | ius hands, and with the proceeds purchased the | Fannie and shipped the crew of the Hornet, and | was all ready to leave port when the complaint was made. She was thoroughly searched from stem to stern by the customs revenue officers, with the view of discovering arms or munitions of | war, or what facilities she might have for taking them on board from another ves- | sel, The examination was entirely satisfactory, yet | it was claimed that there was a reasonable sus- picion for detaining her. The Treasury officials stretched the law to the utmost to please the Spanish Minister, but it was not broad enough to detain the Fannie under the circumstances. There was nothing irregular in her papers or ownership. Finally on Thursday it was decided to allow her to clear tor Turk’s Island. For tear, however, that she | might take on board contraband of war, in the | waters of the United States, the steamer Northerner was ordered to accompany her down the bay, past the Capes out on to the high seas, where it is expected that a Spanish gun- boat will exercise further surveillance until the Fannie disposes of her cargo. This vessel was built for a blockade runner, but is not a swift sailer, The Spanish authorities are confident of capturing her in their waters, India ports.

The arguments in the case of Wiliam Heath, charged with perjury by Stephen V. White, a Wall street broker, in having testified falsely tn @ civil sult before a referee in which he (White) was ée- fendant, was argued before Justice Ledwith, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, yesterday, Messrs. J.D. Townsend and M. W. Devine appearing for the defence and Assistant District Attorney Sulli- van for the prosecution. ‘The facta of the case have already appeared in the HERALD at different times as the examination progressed. Mr. Devine moved fof a dismissal of the case on the ground that the evidence failed to establish ang case against the defendant. He further contended, in the first place, that the only issue to which the alleged false statements could have any reference: was the issue presented by the answers of White and Woodward, to the effect that on July 18, 1870, Heath agreed to assume poate loss of $70,000 and his proportion of the stock, and that as the allege@ statements were confessedly made on July 16 the could have no bearing upon an agreement a claimed to have been made until the 18th. After recapitulating Mr. Heath’ mony, he contended that it was not contradicted in any matertal point by the prosecuting witnesses; that, on the contrary, their evidence confirmed It in the most remarkable manner upon all the material issues, especially noting the fact that the witnesses all agree that the only arrangement made tn refer- ence to the Reading pool was that Heath was to look to each member Of the pool for his share of the Targin or capital and not for his share of the loas, and, further, that the overwhelming preponderance of the testimony was that the only arrangement made on July 15 was that Heath & Co. were to carry the stock, without additional margin, for the benefit of the pool, not that they had agreed to assume it or the loss on it. Coum~ sel further commented on the discrepancy be- tween the testimony of Tasker Marwin and that of Woodward and White in reference to the conve! sation at Marvin's oftice, and claimed that if Mr. Marvin’s statement were true, it was an absolute contradiction of White and Woodward's testimony, and the prosecution must fail also in the fact that Woodward and White had patd Young $12,500 for his: assistance and his testimony in the suit before the referee and before Judge Ledwith, and claimed that this testimony would be credited, and also animadverted upon White’s advice to Heath to go in and buy the stock when he knew that Heath had nothing left but his credit on which to operate. The threats of Woodward and White toleave Heath & Co, saddled with 62,200 shares of Reading, costing $2,800,000, In which a loss of over $100,000 had been theurred by the pool, were also commented on with much earnestness, and the fact that the prosecution avoid Ct Heath with testifying falsely upon the issues, sought to make a case against him by selecting an interview when he was alone with Woodward and White, was also dwelt upon, and the Hability of any man having a business controversy with two or more unscrupulous adversaries to have auch & pd de against him was urged upon Judge Leaw! Assistant District Attorney Sullivan, in sum~ ming up for the prosecution, endeavored te ress upon the mind of Justice Ledwith that — = he defence had taken & most extraordinary course, and he could not, after the ar ments’ offered by the counsel fdr the de- fence, in his own mind that the original bel complaine should be revoked. Mr, Sullivan con- fined his argument (tbe ally to the 15th day of July, 1870, in which they charged he (Heath) testi- fled falsely aa to the conversation held tn Marvin & Co.’8 office on that day, and that the parties interested in the joint stock of Reading were heavily involved and had to resort to some means to carry themselves through and save themselves fronr Pea nb ey that White, Woodward and Marvim testified that Heath was in Marvin & Co.'s officeom the 16th day of July, while the defendant testified to the contrary; and he could not surmise how testimony ofone man should overthrow that of these respectable business men; one of them vin) having no pecuniary interest in the matter, either one way or the other. At the conclusion of Mr. Sullivan’s remarks, the summing up was post- poned until to-morrow afternoon, at half-past tour o'clock, when Mr. Townsend will reply to the arga- ments of Mr, Sullivan, and submit the case to Justice Ledwith for deciston, THE PACIFIO COAST.
