POLITICAL POLICY OP THE RADICAL REDS. It ts now reported that the International Con- gress in its closing session adopted a resolution the object of which was to convert the Interna- tional Society into a political organization. The resolution was introduced by M. Languet, One of the members from Paris, Delegates from Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, France and the United States protested pgainst it, and threat- ened to withdraw unless the vote was recon- sidered. As the sitting was secret, it is dificult to obtain a trustworthy account of the proceedings and it is not known what action was finally taken on the question. The report that several French Members withdrew in disgust before the adjourn- ‘Ment leads to the belief that the Congress rescinded its vote. WHAT {8 HOPED FROM THE IMPERIALIST CONGRESS.

CUBA. —————+——_ European Spaniards in Denunciation of the Idea of Sale of the Island. Bailroad Management—Rebel Attack on a March- ing Goneral. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Havana, Sept. 7, Via Key West, Sept. 10, 1872. The Diario, referring to @ rumor that a Ouban agent was in London seeking to raise a loan with which to purchase the independence of the island from the Spanish government, says :— The only thing that would follow the declaration ; ef independence of Cuba would be a terrible civil war. The Spanish government can resign its inter- vention in the affairs of the island, can recall tts officers, withdraw its attention from this country, but it cannot compel European Spaniards here to submit to the rule of Cespedes and his partisans. The Spaniards here are strong enough to triumph in such a confiict. The Spaniards here are well justified in consider. ing themselves the Reavice representatives of Spanish flerceness, They know how to preserve Cuba and keep her Spanish, even shoulda there be those in Old Spain who would commit the infamy of selling her, Cuba is nish, because we have not sold our glorious nationality and are prepared to defend it against the world, RAILWAY'S MANAGEMENT. Superintendent Cantero, of the Havana Railroad, has been removed, and Colonel Rollian appointed his successor. A GENERAL AMBUSCADED. Brigadier General Menduina had a narrow escape from the hands of the rebels recently. While marching from Manzanillo to Bayamo he fell into an ambuscade and was surrounded, with all his men, a small force.

The Diario, in an article on the financial situa- tion says the withdrawal from circulation of small bills will depend altogether on the public conven- ience. The Junta have under consideration the ad- visability of the step. The loan of $60,000,000 will be constituted in a few days. The press here generally regard it with lit- tle favor. The question is complicated by the de- cree with reference to the loan, which is regarded as ambiguous. MURDER BY NEGROES.

CuICaGo, IIL, Sept. 10, 1872, General B. R. Cowen, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and head of the Commission to the Sioux Indians, arrived here this evening en route for Washington. The rest of the Commission, with in- terpreters and Indian chiefs, will reach here to- morrow at three o’clock P. M. The Commissioners did not visit the Yellowstone. as originally intended, on account of the belliger- ent attitude of the Indians, but pushed directly to the Upper Missouri, in the very heart of the Indian country, and made investigations, for which the Commission appointed and held counsel with the savages. They had a rough and dangerous trip from Corinne to Helena. They were ONE HUNDRED AND BIGHT HOURS IN A STAGE without rest, and at one time were attacked by roving bands of natives. It was dificult in some places to procure means of transportation, as mosquitoes had driven away horses and cattle. While crossing the Northern Pacific Railroad on the Upper Missouri two of their mules | were attacked by swarms of mosquitoes and killed. The country is dreary and deso- late. The Commissioners had a council with the Indians at the trading station called Fort Peck, where they remained thirty-five days. Here, after great diMculty, they succeeded in gathering to- gether a goodly number of most obstreperous savages, some of whom were persuaded to accom- pany the Commissioners to Washington. They are flerce, and have given trouble to the government heretofore. ANOTHER MURDER BY INDIANS. Bryan, W.

Concorp, N. H., Sept. 10, 1872. Politica in New Hampshire are decidedly in a harmonious condition this year. Notwithstanding the reception of the news from Maine both demo- crats and liberal republicans are united in their efforts and determined to poll at least three thou- sand majority for their candidates tn November. Conventions of each of these parties will be be held atCity and Phoemx Halls to-morrow, when the usual cut and dried programme will be adopted. As matters stand now the Conventions will meet nd organize. The democracy will nominate Messrs. W. M. Wheeler, of Keene, and Joseph A. , of Plymouth, for Presidential and the liberal republicans will add the names of Mason W. Tappan, of Bradford, and Waterman Smith, of Manchester, to the list, when both bodies will meet in joint convention, ratify these nominations, mu- tu sore Cincinnati platform and adjourn, Theodore Tilton, General Farnsworth and other speakers aro billed to address the populace, but there is little excitement. In conversation with a pioeaieos democrat to-night I learned that the tate was carried in March last by 700 republican majority, but that the opposition could upset these figures. “All tho votes were polled then,” he sald, “but some of them cost from sbventy-five dollars to one hundred dollars apiece; 80 you see there won't be @ chance for a change.” Other interviews with other and well posted men convince me of the truth of these assertions, and also that the election here depends entirely upon money. If Indiana or Pennsylvania goes in favor of Greeley New Hampshire will 5,000 ma- jority in the game direction. If these States go for re-elected Grant and it is SpOarens that he will be £% yy aeapenine will apathetically drift MASSACHUSETTS. The Liberals and Democrats in Council To-Day for the Formation of the Ticket=The Names Mentioned for Governor, Wonroksrsr, Mass., Sept. 10, 1872. The Liberal Republican and Democratic State Con- ventions are to be held here to-morrow, and the hotels are already full of delegates from various parts of the State, both Conventions promising to be largely attended, The utmost harmony exists as to the formation of a State ticket, although some of the more enthusiastic of the liberal repul licans desire to nominate Senator Sumner for Governor. This, however, is Leeda 4 opposed by Mr. Bird and others on the ground that as nothin; has ever been said to him on the matter it wou! be unfair to embarrass him by such action, and the plan was abandoned. The names most beer nently mentioned are William Gaston, Judge Abbott and Charles Levi Woodbury, of Boston; John K. Tarbox, of Lawrence; Judge Lord and William 0. Endicott, of Salem; but of these it is understood Messrs, Gaston and Tarbox refused to be con- sidered candidates. For the other places on the tickets no names are prominently mentioned, THE MAINE ELEOTION. The Republican Majority Computed at 16,000. mn LEWISTON, Me., Sept. 10, 1872.

Arrival of the Brooklyn Yacht Club Fleet at New London—How the Yachts Behaved Under ® Stiff Breese—Departure of the Fleet for Newport To-Day. ON Boarp YACHT MADELEINE, } New Lonpon, Conn., Sept. 10, 1872. Want of wind, drifting in a calm, &c., have been the general complaints of the yacht captains; but the Clerk of the Weather has at last listened to these suppliants, and to-day they had all they wanted. Several of the yachts, inciuding the sloops Mary, Kate and Sophia, left the fleet this morning and started for the West; so, consequently, the meeting of captains at seven A. M. was rather slimty attended. A despatch from Mr. Richard Loper, Jr., was read at the meeting, stating that a ball would be given this evening in honor of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, at Stonington. The captains then decided unanimously to steer for that port, and were delighted at the chance of an escape from visiting that dreary anchorage opposite the Pequot House. The starting gun was fired at eight A. M., and the little Nettie B. started off, followed by the Alice, Asten, Eddie and Fleur de Lis in quick succession. The Madeleine came next, leading the Magic, which brought up the rear. After clearing the beacon west of the Lighthouse on Morris Cove Point the fleet found they had got ALL THE WIND THEY WANTED, coming right down the Sound from the east-north- east and with a nasty chop which kept them jump- ing. The tide was running ebb, After running about a mile on the port tack the Nettie B, turned round and started back for New Haven, and was followed soon afterwards by the schooner Eddie. The chop sea did not agree very well with their constitutions, as they were a trife too short to make headway against tt, The Madeleine, under full main and fore sail, staysail and jin, soon lay down to her work and passed to windward of the Fleur de Lis, The Alice had gone in stays with the Asten and both were standing inshore. The Magic, under these lower sails, was also doing well and following the Madeleine. The Asten was making good weather inshore, The breeze kept freshen- ing and the fleet had soon all they wanted. The Fleur de Lis went on the starboard tack at 10:05, followed by the Magic about a mile and a half. ‘on her weather quarter the Madeleine stayed at 10:12, and stood towards the north shore. The breeze was STILL FRESHENING, and at half-past eleven the Madeleine stood to the southward, When about three miles due east of Falconer’s Island the Mego tacked in her wake, some few minutes later followed by the Fleur de Lis. The Alice ana Asten still kept hugging the north shore, and the former did not appear be gett alc very well. About noon the wind uled round to east by south, heading oif the achts on the port tack, but giving them @ good ong log on the next tack. The sun peeped out for a jw minutes, but was soon clouded over again. At forty minutes. past twelve the Madeleine stood again to the north- ward, but managed to well the Long Island shore. The nats followe some three or four miles behind, reefed down, The Fleur de Lis was away to leeward of the Magic, under her lower satis, The Alice and Asten were away out of sight on the north shore. About four P. M, the Madeleine arrived off Plumb Island and there lay to, awaiting the arrival of the Magic and others, The Magic arrived at 4:40 and the Fleur de Lis at 6:25, It was then decided to anchor in New London, as the Commodore was afraid that the others would not be able to reach Stonington be- fore dark, and he wished to keep the fleet together. ‘Tne Madeleine tet go her anchor at the mouth of the harbor at 7:10, followed shortly afterwards b; the Magic and Fleur de Lis. The Alice arrive about 7: The fleet leave for Newport to-morrow morning, The Asten put back off Brantford to New javen, Yachting Notes.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN PASSAIO VILLAGE. An extensive and destructive conflagration oc- curred in Passaic Village about ten o'clock on Monday night, involving the loss of the large bleachery and Canton flannel manufactory of Watson & Sons. The Passaic Village and Carlstadt Fire Departments were promptly on hand, but the flames had attained such headway that nothing could be done towards saving the building. The factories were stored with expensive machinery and valuable stock. The fire started among some inflammable cotton material lying about, into which the end of a match was SY dropped while lighting a kerosene lamp. The buildings de- stroyed consisted of a bleachery 225 feet long and three stories high, two of the foors full of goods; a main factory, 00x82, full of machinery and 3 : <i bleach Bede ety ae ware, — contain: @ large quan’ of rs {n bale and Tet goods in process of bleach- nd a bolier house, 50x40, Among the pro} ody erty consumed were 20,000 yards of goods re: for shipping to-day. The total loss is estimated at 125, e insurance is said to be not over 10,000. The books of the concern were all lost, because in the efforts to extinguish the Names they were neglected until it was too late to rescue them. je water in the brook was pumped dry by the water works, and the water from the canal could not be reached on account of the great heat from the flames. It took 1,000 feet of hose to reach the water. The Watsons had fire apparatus of their own on the premises, but the wrench could not be found and the water could not be used. It was one of the most serious conflagrations that ever occurred in Passaic, and the whole commu- nity will feel the loss of the annihilation of so im- portant @ branch of its industrial interest.

JUDGE PRINDLE’S CASE. The Senate in Secret Session—Only Twenty Senators Present—Useless Dis- cussions and Adjournment Until Nov- ember 10. ALBANY, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1872. The Senate met in extra sesston at ten o'clock A. M. to hear the closing argument in the case of Judge Prindie. The roil was called, and twelve Senators answered their names. On motion of Senator D. P. Wood, who said there was evidently @ misapprehension as to the time of meeting, the Senate adjourned till four o'clock P. M. Judge indie and his counsel were present, Counsel for prosecution were absent. Afternoon Session. The Senate reassembled at four o'clock P. M. There were twenty Senators present. Before trans- acting any business they, on motion of Senator Winslow, went into secret session. After an hour’s discussion the doors were reopened, and it was an- nounced that when the Senate adjourned it would be till the 10th of November, at ten o'clock A. M. P. Wood moved that when the Senate met the Prindle case be disposed of first, and that the case of Judge Curtis be then taken up. Mr. Johnson rose to @ point of order that the Senate having in secret session agreed to adjourn till November 10, 1t was not competent to make any motion now, as the Senate was, ip fact, ad- journed, Mr. D. P. Wood stated that it was only agreed to adjourn till the 10th of November when the Senate to-day adjourned, and it was not entirely proper to agree upon the manner of proceeding when the Senate came together in November next, Mr. Madden said he did not understand that the Senate ever in secret session adjourns. Mr. Johnson insisted that in secret session the motion to adjourn was put and carried, and the presiding officer now had only to mak the an- nouncement from the chair. Mr. Allen, in the chair, decided the point of order | not well taken, and put the question on Mr. Wood's motion, which was so modified as to. direct the Clerk of the Senate to notify all parties interested in the cases that these trials are postponed until | that time. Mr. Johnson said that it appeared to bim the oe- | casion for this postponement was, that there was a | political campaign to be attended to and that Sen- ators had not time to attend to this great public business; that they had not time to decide this matter of so much interest to the people of Che- nango county, and that the question of the election | of a United States Senator by the next hee ‘was considered of greater importance by them. Mr. Winslow rose to @ point of order that, the question before the Senate was as to the mode of proceeding When the Senate meets, and not as to | ‘whether there was time to continue the session of | the Senate now. Mr, Cowan raised a similar point of order, as also did Mr, Wood, but the chair decided that Mr. John- gon was tn order. Mr, Johogon proceeded, and asked if the Senate would be better prepared to take up the Prindle case after the matter of United States Senator was | disposed of than it would be now? He then said that it would be proper to inform the parties in the Curtis case about how long the Senate would be engaged on the Prindle ease, ana not leave it 60 | inde nite as it was in the motion. Mr. D. P. Wood sald the suggestion was a good one, and he would so amend his motion as to set down the Curtis case for the 22d November. Mr. Johnson said he wanted his sears against this adjournment entered upon the journal. Mr. D. P. Wood said that in order to dispose of the case properly it was necessary to have twenty-two Senators present. It is notorious that there are not twenty-two here, and it will not be poasible to et that number here. Threo-seventha of the Sen- ator’s (Johnson’s) party associates are not here. He did not say this.to bring reproach upon the demo- cratic party; bat they are not here and wili not be here for reasons which everybody can understand. ‘They will be here, however, aud so will others at the time fixed upon, and this work of the peopie will then be performed to the entire satisfaction of the people. ‘ ‘The vote was then taken on Mr. Wood’s motion as amended and it was adopted, Messrs. Johnson and Tiemann voting in the negative & western bound train. ‘The fast tine train was bound east and was behind time. The cars were terribly smashed up an thirteen persons were in- jared, but not dangerously. ‘he engineer had several bs broken. 7 HORRORS OF THE OCEAN. The Sickness, Suffering and Brutality on Board the Emigrant Ship Charles H. Marshall— Beport of the Commissioners of Emi- gration —Insalts, Insubordina- tion and Starvation. Ata regular mecting of the Commissioners of Emigration, held yesterday, a report on the taves- tigation held by that body in reference to the emt- grant ship Charles H. Marshal! was presented, the chief points of which are as follows:— The undersigned Commissioners held thoir sittings at Castle Garden, viz., on September 3, 4and 5, inatant, aud examined under oath the following named saac Murrison, Meyer Fold, Abra: c. son, \ Bsbaertan avant tuk vane head Cal on, Mark nd Tanne Bass. sri aiag Due notice having been given the owners of thoy were represented by Mr. Charles H. Marsh ot the firm, and by Thomas H. Hubbard, of counse: ‘THE FINDINGS. before them the undersigned Com- From the evidence missioners find as foll jarshall sailod from Liverpoot rived at New York on the That the shi on the 9th of. ‘2th ot August ult., assage of fifty-nine ooze That the total number of emigrant passengers takon on rd was 458 including children and infants Threo deaths occurred among the passengers during the voy- age. Tho Captain, Charles H. Marshall, was taken sick on the fourth day after sailing, and was confined to his bed until his death, ten days Gubsequedtiy. During the tow days that he was able to command the ship everything 's to have pe on in the usual way, the witnesses ing that while the captain in command they were satisfied and that he ated them kindly. His death appears to have produced # demoralizing effect upon the whole crew, evidenced by the state- ment made by the first offic: vho, on the death of tha captain, assumed command and safely navigated the vessel into port. Not being successful In thetr atiompt ab mutiny, they commenced the PERSKCUTION of a portion of the passengers, subjecting them to annoy- ances and brutalities that seem to require some action om the part Cy the Fes 1 government by amendment of the present United States statutes or the spocdy passage of tho Projected treaty with foreign governments and countrics whence navigation comes, to prevent a repetition of sim- flar misconduct. ‘Among the passengers some 80 wore of the vewish faith and chiefly from Russian Poland, a few being from En pasgnners wero inade the objects of attack by 10, land. These the crew, w! ‘om the testimony, appear to have sub- Jected thém to ‘numerous indignities and brutal assaults, ‘and in instances even to Lave curtailed their lawful ra- tlons of food and water. ‘The first ofticer by his own admission appears to have unwittingly been a party to deprive the ey ers of their full and lawful allowance of bread. During tho ox- amination he produced one of the ship blscaits served to Passengers on the voyage, and stated that he nished them at the rato of five ‘to the pound. On bein tested by twoseparate soalesin uso in this department, th sample biscult was found to weigh about two and a halt ‘ounces only, instead of three full ounces, as it should have done, to afford, the passenger his propor ration of this, ar- ticle of food. Mr. Forrester, the first officer, claims that the biscuit by his scale weighed five to the pound. During tie investigation one important ‘fact was elicited, to which the attention of the Bourd is larly directed. ‘Meyer Feld testified thas, . Morton, a sailor. assaulted by John some of the undersigned and at the request of Mr. M. hall, who appeared desirous of eliciting all the facts and of punishing overy one connected with the vessel guilty of any wrong towards the passengers, the Superintendent was Instructed to send Morton in ‘chargo of a police officer before the United States Commissioner, 90 that the emigrant might preter a charge against him. The following is the reply of tho United States Commissioner 4 ¢ to the communication from the Superintendent : Usirep States Comm Sournern Distaict 41 Cramners Strext, New You, Sept Bunxany Cassnnt, Eaq., Superintendent Commissioners ra Bear Ainein tho mattor of the complaint of Fold, a passenger on the ship Charles H, Marshall, Jonni H. Morton, a sailor belonging to the crew ‘o 4hip, upon investigation of the facts I rogret to say that the offence is one which the United States statutes do not cover criminally. ‘The assault must be one with intent to commit a foleny as applied to a passenger, aud, therefore, I cannot cnter- tain juriediction. “Lain, vory respectfully JOHN A.

By this decision ‘of the Com which sumed to be correct, passenger: any redress whatever agains! vessel who inay maltreat or assault age, unless the assault is committed with 4 felonious 1a- tent. A wanton or unjustifiable assault on land inflicted with the hands oF feet is @ punishable offence, and it: seems to the undcraizned that some amendments are: the United States statu or some pt should be made, whereby passengers so much at the mercy of the Micers and crow 8 the, vessel, may havo protection against their brutality, The undersigned can appreciate tho situation in which Mr. Forrester was placed by the unexpected death of the captain and the responsibility thus onnanty Hixown upon Bin, and believe that any errors or faults committed, or any misconduct of the crew permitted by him, is to be attributed to the trying circumstances in which he was placed rather than to, any desire or willingness on his part to see the passengers’ abused or wronged. In concluding this report the be 8 ja would re- iterate what has been previously stated in previous re- ports of a similar kind—viz., the rege and import- ody action on the part of the federal govern- ment looking ‘to the protection of emigrant passengers in transit between Europe and the United States. the @ time they also recommend that the attention of the Untied that the ited St Staten government must be called to the fact tates Commissioner of this district decided that the Iaw did not authorize him to proceed’ against the officers or crow of tho vessel {or anything but a feloni- ous assault, consequently brutal treaiment and assaults bs ye go unredréssed. ar as tho power of tho State of New York can go everything is done for the protection of the person un roperty of the emigrant after ho comes under the State nridiction, and tt only remains for the federal govern- 3 ment to afford him equal protection while on and especially the same guarantee against oppressiog or persecution on account of religious belief which ig the fundamental principle of American liberty.
