condition, of thee uxifortunate people in the far East of Europe; public sympathy has been evoked; and this atterition must be kept up and this sympathy must not be allowed to cool until eome. satisfactory arrangement is made by which complete protection shall be secured ‘to the Jews of Ronmania in the exerdise of all thetr rights—civil-and religious. In the name of our many Jewish fellow citizens, in the name of civil and religious liberty, in the name of that. modern civilisation of which we ‘re all'so proud, ‘the demand must be made that persecution for religion’s sake shall cease, If this perseontion is not ended, and ended at once, the blame must lie at. the door of the great Powers of Europe. Pope Jones of Randall’s Island and the Beoy-Keeper-Killer. Justus Dunn, a juvenile delinquent of some sixteen winters, was placed on trial yesterday for the manslaughter of Samuel Calvert, a keeper in the House of Refuge, which is situ- ated on Randall's Island, and whose inmates are under the temporal and spiritual dominion of Pope Jones: The Henanp a few weeks ago made an inquiry into the manner in which Pope Jones administered the institution, pr esac 48 published drew forth many comments on the patent theology of that insulated Pope. Tho subject has again been opened in this trial before Judge Bedford, and, thanks to His Honor’s ruling in the case, we shall have it plentifully ventilated under the oath of Pope Jones and others of less b The offence with which this sad boy is charged is @ serious one Calvert was found bleeding on the tier, above the hall one evening in Mareh five feet from the boy's cell and died a few hours after from the loss of blood ebbing through two Wounds above the knee joint, which the juve- nile delinquent is accused of inflicting. It isa gloomy picture—a poor promise for a better «manhood if the young goats under the care of Pope Jones learn no better than this furious style of butting at their keepers until the keeper dies under the operation. This is exactly the phase under which the public will regard it. We are not likely to waste much sympathy upon this youth of the ready penknife, but if the system of Pope Jones in the House of Refuge be one that bru- tolizes and demoralizes dof refo ; the good ‘in young human nature ooze ore eae Go aero) pncenane:< of; Otigial tyranny, _, the iniunity will ‘not ‘Wonder that juvenile delinquents should grow into murderers, and will not blame the boys'so much asthe system. | Five hun- dred boys'in the Refuge, all going the same way, too. Is,this possible?

Now, the gravest point in the teen” ahd’ «fifteen years of age boys, trained into inhumanity and ferocity, are _ let loose upon society, and what was at first a ghild of t tendencies comes. out a candidate for the gallows ond’ the cbnvict garb through the sinister paths of crime. Not the least part of the indictment against Pope Jones will be the management of’ the’ religious part of the _ the tmining. What the Henaxp has already published on this subject is now confirmed by Pope Jones himself on the stand, and ® more absurd system of deodorizing religion could not well be imagined. The Methodist parson who administers spiritually to the entire House of Refuge is not a Method- ist at all when he does it. When he preaches to the young delinquents he becomes an unsectarian gypcle of the, Qhurch of Pope Jones, and gives doses of the Bible in ‘broad truths,’ that must serve Protestant, Papist and Israelite alike. We shall hear more of the vagaries of this House of Refuge, Pope Jones, and in- dulge the hope that when the truth is all known, there will be a speedy change for the better. Oddly enough, and as if the whim- sical fates were watching the events, we have only to wish, in the name of the boy whose name begins this article, to see justice done. The Horrible Murder in Division Street. We are becoming so used to the reign of ruffianism that it requires some outrage of un- usual barbarity to thoroughly arouse our indig- nation, But eyen the meekest citizen will be of opinion that ‘the murder of ‘Augustus Brown, on Saturday night, ought to be followed by vigorous action looking towards the suppres- sion of rowdyism. It will not do to allow gangs of loafing ruffians to assemble at the street corners and insult peaceable passers-by, As we have before pointed out, these assem- blages are constantly leading to murder and robbery. The judicial authorities are os much to blame in this matter as are the police, for the cure for this crying evil is very simple. Instead of allowing members of gangs to come into court and swear an alibi, every man known to have been present at the time of a murder ought to be held as an accessory, un- less he gives such information as will aid the cause of justice, So long ad Tufflang tan find immunity from the law by swearing for each other the respectable classes of the community will always be at the mercy of the scum of our population. Murder succeeds murder with Qa rapidity in our midst, and unless the law cai atrord {be gitizen, better protection ‘than it does at present the citizens will be forced in self-defence to take action indepen- dently of the authorities. We have constantly urged the suppression of the corner loafer gangs, and this last mur- dor, by its cold-blooded atrocity, must bring home to every man the ne- cessity. which exists for the course we have strentously recommended, The best way of striking terror into the gangs of rowdies by whom we are beset is by making every individual responsible for the crimes of his companions. There can be no just ob- jection to such a course; it is followed in all ‘cases of crime against property, and ought to be enforced with double stringency ” cases of crime against the person. If one of a gang roba aie the whole gang may be punished, and if one of a gang commit murder his com- panions and encouragers onght also to be ex- posed to the action of the law, If the judges gad juries would act on this principle for six months, and decline to be influenced by the i liticians, the violence representations of po n and aggressiveness of our rowdy population would soon cease, NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNK lt, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET. : EE THE WAR IN MEXICO.

General Corella, in the attack on Monterey, had 3,000 government troops under his com- mand. He lost everything. All his trains of artillery, with the army chest, containing $10,000, fell into the hands of the revolution- ists. Indeed, in spite of the Juarista reports to the contrary, it is now certain that the whole army of General Corella has been either killed and wounded or capturod. QUIROGA MARCHING ON MIER. Letters from Mier announce the approach of General Quiroga with -2,000 revolutionists. General Cevallos, the Commander-in-Chief of the government troops, has started with a por- tion of his command and his heaviest guns from Camargo for this city. He is expected to arrive here soon with D y panto my Stim itp tdarasonos.

General Cevallos has issued a proclamation to his troops, stating ‘‘the fortune of war changed the victory of the 30th of May into ingomprehensible disaster on the following day owing to circumstances as yet unknown. Re- vultas has evacuated Monterey, giving the ene- my a triumph. But,"’ continues General Ceval- los, do not allow yourselves to be surprised or give way to despair on account of these reverses. The ultimate triumph of the government is certain, as it possesses all) the elements of success. Be confident—be prepared for the strife.’’ ATTACK ON MATAMOROS FORESHADOWED. This admission of the defeat of the govern- ment troops is considered to have an unusual significance; The proclamation, it is thought, indicates General Cevallos’ expectation that the revolu- tionists are about to atfack Matamoros. Com- munication between Mier and Monterey is en- tirely closed. Canales, the Governor of the State of Tamaulipas, has resigned, preparatory to his taking part in the present struggle. It is sup- posed that he will espouse the revolutionary cause. Another Account of the Recapture of Monterey by the Rebels—Ccballos Baf- fled and Retreating—An Matamoros Imminent.

Earl Granville, Her Majesty's Secretary of rther Modification or | Si for Foreign Affairs, seconded by the Italian government, has proposed the convoca- tion of a conference of the great Powers to project a new course of policy to be adopted by the Cabinets towards the East in view of the constant recurrence of barbarous outbursts of popular violence against the Jows in Rou- The Abandonment of Arbitration Left in mania, and to debate, also, the subject of the the Hands of England. Granville Will Rise to Explain. ‘WASHINGTON, June 10, 1872. The failure of the Treaty of Washington, so far a8 It relates to the settlement of the Alabama claims, is at last conceded by the President. As stated in these despatches last night, Minister Schenck was instructed that the United’ States had neither any suggestions to .offer nor entertain, On the receipt of Schene 's despatch, with the note of Eart Gran- arbitration should be disposed of on the 15th inst., Mr. Fishcalled on the President and asked for ad- vioe. The President said that he had all along hoped that the diplomatic correspondence would Temove the pretended obstacles to a satisfactory propriety of a direot allied pressure on the Roumanian government to compel measures for the. executive repression of such acts or action, RUSSIA'S REPLY. Prince Gortschakoff has replied to the Eng- lish note in the name of His Majesty the Em- peror Alexander of Russia. The Prince Chan- cellor states that the Emperor sympathises with the persecuted Jews, but apprehends, at the moment when he gives his good wishes, that the course for a redress of their grievances which is proposed by the British Ministry will serve only to excite an agitatation of the Eastern ques- tion. Therefore, for this reason, the Emperor of Russia is unwilling to’ enter such a con- ference. His Majesty Alexander makes a proposition that, instead of Such an assem- blage, the Powers more immediately interested olution of the difficulty at Geneva, but if the Prit- ish Government was determined TO DOUBT THE SINCERITY OF OUR DECLARATION regarding the claims for indirect damages, he knew of but one course to pursue, and that was to meet the pretensions of the British govern- ment in their own language. Accordingly Mr. Fish was yesterday instructed to notify General Schenck to, ABANDON THER ARPLBRATION,. According'to the conditions specified In the note of Granville addressed to this government, and the sketch of the draft to be submitted by the British agent at Geneva on the 16th instant, both of which were printed in these despatches of last night, THE INSTRUCTIONS TO MINISTER SCHENCK yere follows :— pit eGi. 7 cage The proposal contained in Earl Granville’s nove of Saturday cannot be accepted by this government, In previous despatciigs this government has dis- tinctly declared that thé artitrators have the power to adjourn elther on their 6wn giotion or on that of either party, and that if the aryusignts b3 put in on both sides on the 16th, and Gréat Britain moves for an adjournment, we will assent; but we cannot be parties to a joint application for adjourn- ment. This government has no reason to ask an adjournment, and if it abstains from resist- ing a motion to adjourn, it will do so from courtesy to Great Britain. Nor can this govern- ment, directly or indirectly, be a party to an argu- ment or understanding whereby Great Britain is to submit her argument to the tribunal conditionally or under any protest or reservation. The obliga- tions of the treaty ;are reciprocal, and no right is.| reserved to either government of any qualified ac- tion while the other is fulfiling the spirit and letter of the treaty, The United States will feel itself bound to protest against a conditional presentation of the argument on the part of Great Britain, or any assumed reser- shall address a joint note to the Roumanian government demanding an _ explanation of its intentions and a definition of the guarantees which Prince Charles can offer for the poteotion of the Jews in the fu- ture, and, thus awaken the Bucharest executive tg B sense of its official _responsibilities, Should the Roumanian reply prove unsatis- factory to the cosignatories of the note, the Rmperor of Russia would propose a settle- ment of the difficulty on the basis of thg treaty of 1858. “sae PRUSSIA CONSENTS. The Prussian Government, EMperor Willian speaking as King of Prussia, takes the same ground as Ruasia. THE OTHER POWERS. The answers of the other Powers to the Granville circular is not known, but it is probablé that they convey assurances of the adoption of the suggestion offered by Prince Gortschakoff. What Prince Charles Knows of the Israclite Case. An English journal published the following let, ter, the authenticity of which is vouched for, dated from Bucharest, on the 24th of February last, with reference to the treatment of the Jews in the Danubian Principalities. The writer says:— A deputation of: Jews from Cahul reached me to- day. Iam engaged preparing their statement and petition to the government, oa which to predicate a demand for their protection and indemnification. ‘The history they give 1s far more heartrending than of Ismail, Their sufferings were horrible. age falls me to depict all they related.

If such notice of withdrawal, as is suggested in Lord Granville'’s note, be given, it will be the duty of the American agent and counsel to repel it very decidedly, and in terms which self-respect will make nevessary. Such notice would instantly terminate all further nego- tiations on the part of this government. THE AMERICAN AGENT NOTIFIED. In accordance with the above Mr. Bancroft Davis was to-day notified that the United States would not concur in the proposition of the British government, and = that in case the British agent filed a declaration asking for the postponement of arbitration in the name of the two governments that the American agent should protest agaiuat it. The Senate having declared in the most positive manner that it will not amend the supplemental article, the fate of the treaty can be predicted.

One of the delegation who thus gives me this relation (Mr. A. Gold) defended his house for three days, his four sons standing by him. They had thirty-eight rounds of ammunition. He made his sons swear that, if he fell, they would continue to fight.

Exciting Scenes in Houses. —_—_——— The Compromise on the Enforee- | ment Act. alien Chandler in the Senate on the Liberal- | Democratic Conspiracy. | THE PRESIDENT OFF TO LONG BRANCH. | WASHINGTON, June 10, 1872, The End of an Important Session. The closing scenes of the second session of the Forty-second Congress were characterized by the | confusion incident to such occasions, The bitter Political strife involved in the pending partisan measures added to the earnestness of either site, and the threatened possibility of an extra session to carry out those measures made the sitaation unusually interesting. | Both houses met at eight o'clock A, M, determined to-complete action on the Amendatory Enforcement act before noon, the hour fixed for adjournment, At nine the Conference Committee on the Omnibus or Civil Sundry Appropriation bill, included in which was = the obnoxious provision, reported @ disagreement, and the session was extended until six P.M, At half-past five a | compromise was reported from the comunittee and the session was further extended until nine P. M., at which time the presiding officers of both houses | executed the order of adjournment, and the most important session of Congress since the beginning of reconstruction days passed into history, The President will leave Washington to-morrow with his family for Long Branch. The Senate’s Last Sitting—A Conspiracy and a Compromise. The proceedings in the Senate were compara- tively quiet and uninteresting, although Senator Howe-created a stir of excitement by entering a motion to rescind the order for the publication of the minority report on the New York Cus- tom. House investigation. Mr. Howe de- nounced the minority report as a base and unjustifiable reflection upon the action of the majority, including misstatements of facts which warranted him in the assertion that the minority had abused the confidence and courtesy of the Senate. Mr. Chandler took occasion to make this feature an opportunity for a lengthy dis- sertation regarding an _ alleged conspi- racy between the demoeratic and liberal republican Senators and others to assail the admin- istration, He was as violent as usual, and, being pressed for explicit statements, declined to give the names of the conspirators. Mr. Fenton, who was understood to be one of the suspected parties, denied any participation in the conspiracy. Mr. Stevenson, evidently innocent of all knowledge in the premises, was exceedingly anxious to develop all the facts, and finally succeeded in forcing Mr. Chandler to declare that the democracy was repre- sented in the consultations of the conspirators. Chandler then proceeded to show how by filibus- tering in the House, and by political debates over proposed investigations in the Senate, the pro- gramme had been carried out, the session frittered away, and important public business neglected. The object of the debate, which was a defence of the Senate against the prevalent charge that it, as. @ body, is responsible for the unfinished condi- tion of public business, having been accomplished the matter was dropped. Subsequent procedingsa regarding the conference reports on the Omnibus bill were wholly vold of interest. In fact, the Senate was satisfied with the result of the confer- ence compromise, because they accepted it aga backdown on the part of the House from many of its positions regarding the minor points involved, and because the administration members, with a few exceptions, were satisfied with the resulton the enforcement provision. ax by both Housed | As the bill rat: gene passed by aid approved by the President, the old law ap- plicable to cities of more than twenty thousand inhabitants remains in force, The a endment pro- vides that ager hase aha be la a in recincts outside of cities to the appointees of federal courts the same asin the old law, but the authority for arrests is withdrawn. In effect, it allows an inspection of the votes cast by federal as well as local officers, and gives the federal oMcers the moral power of a Congressional enactment to sustain them in their duties as partisan challengers or poll watchers. They are required to make notes, and any arrests that may follow from their suggestion will occur, as has been the custom in previous years, after the election has passed. If the democrats accept this as a compro- mise and are satisfied with it they will soon learn that the republican managers have beaten them. Such, at least, is the opinion of a large majority of | the republican members of both Houses, Senator Pool and a few other extreme radicals who insisted on the Ku Klux law as a necessity before adjourn- ment are the only republicans who find fault with the present situation. The House Holds a Lively Levee for the Last of the Session. There was a full attendance at an early hour in the House, as a lively time was expected over the deadlock, in consequence of the action of the Senate in putting the Enforcement act as an amendment upon the Civil Sundry Appropriation bill, and in which the House refused to concur. It is claimed by the democrats that this result was brought about through pledges given by the repub- lican side of the House that the bill should be reported back from the Conference Committee without the obnoxious amendment, When Mr. Garfield reported it from the Confer- enee Committee, with the objectionable feature left in, the charge was at once made that faith had been broken, and Mr. Eldridge charged it directly upon Mr. Garfield, which eharge Mr. Garfleld tlatly denied. There was at once a scene of confusion, when Mr. Kelley, quite to the surprise of everybody, moved to recommit the bill to the committee, and made a speech de- | fending bis motion, im which he declared tint a bargain had been made by which the bill was to come back without the objectionable feature; that | @ United States Senator had come upon the floor of | the House, and satd in his presence that if the democrats would allow the bill to go to the Confer- ence Committee, the Senate would recede from the amendment; that he had so assured mem- bers on the other side, and that now he should scorn himself if he failed to fulfil his part of the contract, Several members at this point excitedly asked by what authority he spoke for the majority of the House. Mr. Kelley dis- claimed speaking for any one but himself, and pledged no influence but his own. This course on the part of Mr. Kelley created much surprise, and the opposition grew jubilant over it. Mr. Garfleld followed with a statement that he had made no promises, entered into no ar- rangement in regard to the matten and gave a brief history of the measure in question. Mr. Bing- ham, of Ohio, followed Mr. Garfield, and in the course of his remarks he characterized the action of the majority in attempting to defeat legislation as disgraceful, dishonorable, damning and treason: | able. At this point Mr. Morgan, of Ohio, arose and de- nounced. the statement of the gentieman from Ohio, Mr. Bingham, as ‘a Ile,” and as such | he “branded it before the country.” Here the scene became indeseribable.
