Trial Trip of the New Steamer Capron— Hi Dimensions, Power and Speed— Built to Trade on Inland Seas. ‘The steamship Capron, a new vessel built for the Japanese government and intended for service upon the coast and in the internal seas of Niphon, ‘was taken upon her trial trip yesterday. Despite the extreme ohilliness of the biting wind the ex- cursion proved a very pleasant one, and the state Of the weather afforded ample opportunity to test and judge the merits of the pretty crait. At eleven O'clock A. M. THE JAPANESE FLAG, ®& red ball upon a white ground, was run up to the foremast head, while simultaneously the Star- Spangied Banner and the ‘jack’ were displayed rom the gaifend and bows. Then the whistle sounded, and there trooped on board a bevy of | fair dames and demoiselics, accompanied by their husbands or cavatiers servientes. The pilot took his stand at the wheel and gave the mandate to ast adrift the hawsers that bound the Capron to the wharf. Out into the stream glided the kand- Gome vessel, her @aY FLAGS FLUTTERING in the whistling wind as she headed for the Bat- tery. Up the Hudson she steamed at a pace which wen well-merited encowiums from all on board of her, dashing along the eastern shores of the Hud- son—tne trees upon whose banks seemed to stand out like skeletons, their leafy bloom having feda— until Fort Lee was reached. At this point the ves- gel’s prow was turned and she was headed for the jarrows. The Capron isa wooden vessel, her framework Of sea-coast white ouk. She is copper fas- te! sheathed with Muntz’s metal, and all her iron- work is galvanized.

B Panis, Dec. 3, 1872. Tue ministerial determination which was ar- rived at by President Thiers and his colleagues in the Cabinet during the council held on Sunday- evening, the 1st instant, to remain in executive administration ef the government of the’ French Repubilc, has served te dispel the grave feeling of uncertainty which followed the action of the National Assembly on Saturday last, THE NATION CALM AND HOPKFUL, YET ANXIOUS. Telegrams, official and for the use of the press, have beon received from all parts of France. The despatches represent the people of the country a3 peaceable and the republican territory calm. Men of all shades-of political party are awaiting the election on Thursday next of the committee of thirty, appointed by the Assembly, to draw up a law regulating public powers and prescribing the conditions of ministerial responsibility, as pro- vided for in the resolution of Minister Dufaure adopted on Friday last. PARTY ARBANGEMENTS FOR A GRAND PARLIAMEN- TARY OONTEST, The National Assembly will divide into two great parties—the Left and the Right—for the election on Thursday of the committee of thirty proposed by Minister Dufaure. CITIZEN ANTICIPATION OF A PUBLIO CRISIS. The newspaper République Franpaise says that in the event ofdefeat on the organization of the committee under M.

TURKEY, Canvass of Coming Promotion in the Cabinet— Previous Services of the More Promi- nent Candidates, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Deo, 8, 1872. It is rumored that Namyk Pacha, who was Gov- ernor of Djeddah at the time of the, massacre of 1869, will probably be appointed Grand Vizier of Turkey, in succession to Midhad Pacha, whose sud- den removal and fall from high office on the 8d of November produced a very deep sensation in dip- lomatic circles, from the effect of which the Euro- pean cabinets have been since considerably moved. DIPLOMATIC APPREHENSION OF DANGER RASTWARD, In Austro-Hungarian ministerial society the fall of Midhad Pacha caused, if not absolute uneasi- ness, at all events unqualified regret. Decidedly anti-Russian in his predilections, he was known to be @ sincere friend to West- ern civilization. During the period of his Premier- ship he made his influence felt at Cairo, Bucharest, Belgrade and Cettinge in favor of the maintenance and consolidation of the integrity and dignity of the suzerain rights of the Sublime Porte. The pretensions of the Sultan's vassals in Egypt, Rou- mania, Servia and Montenegro were met with firmness and wisdom by Midhad Pacha, which ex- posed him, it is said, to the disfavor of the Khedive and the other princes of the tributary principalt- ties, Whether the late Grand Vizier owed his dis- missal partly to Russian influence and partly to harem intrigues, cleverly set on foot by the powers in question, is still more or lesa @ matter of con- Jecture; but there is little doubt but that Namyk Pacha will be more agreeable as Grand Vizier to some of the important interests just named. NAMYK PACMA’S FORMER RULE POWRR. Namyk Pacha has been officially complicated in the sertous disputes which occurred between Tur- key and Persia some years since. These disputes had their origin in a series of border feuds, which were prolonged in extent and violent in character. The matter of the trouble was the subject of serious investigation. Then Namyk Pacha, who had been obliged to yield the oMice of War Minister to Khalil Pacha, procrastinated in the good old Turk- ish style as Governor General in Bagdad. He not only shut his eyes—so said the Persians—to outrages of Kurdish robbers in the north, and those of tae wandering Arab tribes in the soutb, on Persian territory, but also levied heavy contributions from the Persian merchants domictlea in Bagdad and destroyed a number of villages on the frontier in which Persians had set- tled, and drove out the inhabitants, The govern- ment of Teheran protested in Constantinople in a very emphatic manner. Mohammed Hussein Khan, the Extraordinary Ambassador of the Shah in Con- stantinople, demanded extensive satisfaction in the name of his sovereign. After ‘ong negotia- ttons, in which months were passed, Namyk Pasha was deprived of his post and called to the Golden Horn, NEW ZEALAND. sine Na wNee RSS ree Heavy Losses by Fire in Auckland.

Abstracts of President Grant's Message are Published tn the city morning papers to-day. The Loudon Times says:—‘‘It will be read with interest, although so largely devoted to domestic affairs, Itts full of confident authority and placi- Wty, and in the enjoyment of assured success dis- regards minor motives." hg The London News hopes “that General Grant's at- tention will herea(ter be more occupied with the re- form of the civil service than the acquisition of San Domingo." Tho News thinks that the people of the United States are ready for a new departure tn the admin- istration of their affairs, and that the present sea- sion of Congress will be “especially interesting to these who watch for indications of the commg party of progress.’’ THE QUESTION OF CUBA AND THE ISLAND CONFLICT, The London Times, alluding to that part of the Mes- sage which treats of the rebetiion in Cuba, doubts that the abolition of slavery in that isiand would end the feud between the Cuban and the Spaniard, THE CORPORATION COUNSEL. ph el AEE 4 Richard O'Gorman Re: sand K.

Jadge Merrimon Elected by Republi- cans to the United States Senate— Strange Ending to a Political Fight— A Conservative Majority of Twenty- four and the Democratic Power Com- pletely Broken Up. Raweian, N. C., Dec. 3, 1872. The Senatorial deadlock is smashed and the conservative majority of twenty-four in the Legislature is smashed with it, The conservative caucus this morning put Governor Vance again in, nomination, Fifteen of the Merrimon men stood firm against the nomination of Vance and in joint session to-day the republicans, Senators and Rep- resentatives, voted for Merrimon to aman. The vote stood 87 for Merrimon and 89 for Vance, 167 votes being cast in joint session, ‘The wildest excitement prevailed in the House when the vote was announced, and much ill-fect- ing and disappointment is manifest among the Vance men, and a breach between the Merrimon and Vance conservatives is evident, and it will not be healed, while a permanent coalition of the republicans and Merrimon conservatives is beyond tif question. This is substantially a victory for the republicans gained by good faith with the Merri- mon conservatives. Judge Merrimon has accepted this election at the hands of the republicans, without pledges of any sort, but he is @ man of good faith, and will doubt- legs make an able and patriotic Senator, A serenade |s arranged for to-morrow night, when Judge Merrimon will publicly address his fellow citizens and thank his friends, The News in “Washington.

Later news from Ashland, Oregon, says that the settlers are showing great activity now in their war against the Modocs. Filty Klamath Indians, well armed, and under command of Captain Terra, are on the war path against the Modocs, Four- teen whites, also wellarmed and under the com- mand of Captain Kelly, have joined in the pnxsnit.

RESIGNATION OF JUSTICE NELSON. —— The Senatorial Happy Family in Cauous— No Fatted Calf Killed for the Hungry Liberals—Tho Mobiher Investigation. WasuHiNnaTon, Dec. 3, 1872, Tho President and Oabinet Ea Route for the Metropolis, President Grant left for New York this evening to attend the funeral of Horace Greeley. He was e@ccompanied by General Babcock, Secfetary Bet- knap.and Postmaster General Creswell. Viee Prest- dent Coltax left by the noon train, The distin- guished party will return on Thursday. The President and Mr. Grecley’s Fune- ral—Cameron’s Meanness Denounced, The President, it is understood, had intended visiting New York to-morrow to be present at the dinner to be given by the Union League to Minister Washburne, His attendance at the funeral of Mr. Greeley, therefore, will only be an incident of tho visit. Leading republican Senators have openly expressed their condemnation of the President's Proposed action in attending the funeral, and the conduct of Senator Cameron to-day in moving an adjournment of the Senate, to deprive Senators Fenton and Sumner of that privilege, is criticised as @ Mean act. Cameron's Nasty Sharp Practice—Fen- ton’s and Summner’s Unspoken Speeches on the Death of Horace Greeley. The Senate was the scene to-day of @ very adroit pioce of political strategy. Fenton had informed several Senators that he should move to adjourn over Wednesday, that Senaters might attend the funeral of Horace Greeley, and he had notified Vice President Colfax that he should desire to be recog- nized immediately after the reading of the journal. He accordiagly prepared a few remarks with which to accompany his motion, and so did Sum- ner, who was to second them. This programme Was not satisfactory to those republicans who «e- aire to control the Senate, and they arranged a plan for upsetting it, which was successfully car- med out. Before the Clerk had finished reading the journal of Monday's proceedings, which was unusually long, up jumped Cameron and moved that the furthor reading be dispensed with. No objection being’ made, the Clerk laid down the journal, and Cameron, who had remained on his feet, exctaimed, “I move that the Senate do now adjourn.”” Fenton, who had meanwhile risen, with his remarks in his hand, appealed to Cameron to give way, that he might introduce his motion to adjourn over until Thursday, but the Winneoago war chie( refused to yield, and asa motion to ad- journ is not debatable, the question was put, car- ried, and the Vice President pronounced the Sen- ate adjourned until Wednesday at twelve o'clock. Fenton and Sumner, thus outflanked, could only give their speeches to the press, and here they are. Fenton would have said, if he had been permitted ‘to speak :— Mr. Prestpent, | desire to leave for New York at one o'clook, and therefore venture upon the in- duigence of the Senate to make a motion at this time. It has reference to the great bereavement we all so deeply feel in the death of Horace Greeley. This sad event touches the hearts of all our people, not only in our land, but the struggling and the good in all lands, of whatever rank or con- dition who will unite in deep and Jong !ament over his death, In iurther public recognition of an event so impressive, of a grief so universal and profound, Lmove that when the Senate adjourns to-day It adjourns to meet on Thursday next, I may remark that several Senators desire to attend the funeral, and it is semi-oMicially announced that the Presi- dent and Vice President of the United States will leave for New York to-day for the same purpose, Mr, Sumner would have said :— Mr. PRESIDENT—I have been requested to second this motion. One word, if you please. A funeral will take place to-morrow on which the eyes of the nation’ will rest, while itinumerable hearts throb with grief and the people every where learn the in- stability of life and the commandment of charity. It is proper, therefore, for the representatives of the nation to suspend labor that kag 4 too, may be penetrated by the lesson of the day. More for than the illustrious dead is this needed. He is gone beyond any ae call. We remain. Duties are always for the living. And now, standing at the open grave of Horace Greeley, we are admonished to forget the strifes of party and to remember only truth, country and mankind, to which his honest life was devoted. In other days the horse and armor of the departed chieftain have been buried in the grave where he reposed. So, too, may we bury the animosities, if not the badges, of the past. Then, indeed, will there be victory for the ad, which all will share, Resignation of Justice Nelson. ‘The resignation of Associate Justice Nelson of his judicial position was received yesterday, ad- dressed to the Secretary of State. Rumored Appointment ef Judge Ward Hunt as Judge Nelson’s Successor. The vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Nelson has given rise to avast amount of specula- tion as to his successor. Judge Ward Hunt, of New York, is mentioned by one prominent Senator as the likely maa. It is even said that his appoint- ment is already as good as made out, Another leading Senator, however, who is supposed to have Intimate relations with the administration, says that it {s all mere guess work. Indeed, he inti- mates that those who are so dock sure about Judge Hunt's appointment may yet find that they were too hasty in anticipating events, The selection, he says, Will not be made until the return of the President, the day after to-morrow, although there isurgeat need that Judge Nelson's place should be filled at once, because a most important question—the construction of the fourteenth amendment, which is now under the consideration ofthe Supreme Court—has to stand ower until there isa fad Bench to decide it. it was reported that Attorney General Williams had suggested Solicitor General Bristow for the vacancy a4@ proper con- cession to the South and that the President had disregarded his suggestion. Debate in the House on the Navy Ad- dition Bill—-Mr. Brooks on Printing Extravagance. The proceedings in the House to-day were more than usually interesting, The commencement of the sitting was unmarked by startling incident until Mr. Scofield, of the Committee on Naval Affairs, reported a bill to authorize the Sec- retary of the Nayy to construct ten steam war ves- sels, at a cost of about five millions, Mr. Eugene Hale, of Maine, whose pet theme is the revival of American shipping, was in favor of constructing War vessels by contractin the private yards. Mr. Randall, from Pennsylvania, a gentleman who makes light of parliamentary courtesy, contended that the bill. was loosely drawn, as it admitted of all sorts.of back-door claims, Mr. S, $. Cox said he. was for building navy.yards before going into the work of constructing vessels and making provia- ions for live oak and timber. He likewise took it upon himself to clear Uncle Gideon Welles from the reproach of having been reckless in the build. ing of vessels during the war. General Banks’ clarion voice was raised in favor of the. immediate construction of swift, small-sized war vessels, with guns of a heavy calibre, in order to be ready for any sudden emergency, such a¢ @ confict with Spain. Mr. Scofield thereupon accused the mem- ber from Massachusetts of having sympathized with an undertaking to involve this country into ® war with Spain. Banks indignantly repelled the “insinuation, He said he had not sympathized with any undertaking to invoive this country into a war with anybody, The principal acbate was about the merits of pri- vate yasda over government, yards, and vice versa “After a number of amenaacen™ te Dill ee lowed to go over until the n-T™™s tow.

The Republican Happy Family Caucus. “What Senators shall we have with us in caucus to-day?’ asked Wilson this morning of a Western Senator, and the prompt reply was “All who voted for you.” It was, inaeed, a gathering of the elect,. and Chandler's countenance beamed with joy as he looked around on entering the room at the ap- Pointed hour. Not one of those audacious republi- cans who had defied party discipline was present, and some of the absentces, about whose course there have been doubts, were properly vouched for. Ohe of these was Spragne, who is said to have contributed liberally to the Greeley fund, but it was positively aaserted that he finally voted for Grant, Anthony waa called to the chair and the usual precautions were taken against revelations of what might be done. A free and easy conversa- tion ensued, during which no one ventured to say & word in favor of the prodigals or to suggest that 4 fatted calf be killed and that they be welcomed back, Trumbuil’s allusion to them in his campaign speeches were alluded to and severely criticised. After much talk it was voted that the chair appoint a committee of five to report a list of committees, and Anthony appointed Frelinghuysen, Ramsay, Morrill of Maine, Stewart and Lewis. They com- menced work to-night, but will hardly be able to report before Thursday. It was suggested to Wil- fon that his retirement now from the chairman- ship of the Military Committee would leave a pleasant place for Logan; but he did not see tt in that light. There was much private talk about the honors paid to Horace Greeley, and it was quietly planned how to prevent Fenton and Sumner from paying their little tributes, which programme was duly carried out, as appeara above. The Business of the Court of Claims. It appears from the official statement of the Court of Claims that, during the year ending De- cember 1, 120 cases were décided—seventy of which were on account of proceeds of cotton captured by the United States military forces, The aggregate amount claimed for the cotton waa $2,270,000, and the award of the Court in these cases was $1,413,000. The highest award was $474,000, or $100,000 less than the amount claimed. The Court allowed $41,000 for procteds of sale of $69,000 in Bank of Louisania notes, being the amount of claimants’ deposit with that bank at the date of the seizure of the same under the order of General Banks, ty Au- guat, 1863, The Standing Committees of the Senate— Liberals To Be Treated as Democrats. In the reconstruction of the Senate committces it is clearly defined that the liberal republicans shall be treated as democrats. The standing com- mittees of the Senate had at the last session, with | but few exceptions, but one democratic member. All the other members were regarded as ortho- dox republicans, The liberals now hold seven- teen positions on the twenty-eight stand- ing committees, which will be declared va- cant to-morrow, and the democrats asked | to mame the Senators who shall fill the vacancies, Neither Sumner, Fenton, Rice,Tipton, Schurz nor Trumbull will consent to unite with the democrats, and the question presents itself whether they will have any standing whatever on any oi the | Senate committees, The Special Committee on the Credit Mobiller Investigation will not meet until Thursday. It is asserted that all the members appointed gave their unqualified support to measures in favor of the road, with the exception of Mr. Merrick, appointed to-day in place of Mr. Beck, who declined. The iriends of Oakes Ames say that the evidence of McComb’s un- reliability will be produced when the committee ask for it. The Bill to Abolish the Office of Assessors and Assistant Assessors. The Committee on Ways and Means will hold a session to-morrow to hear the arguments of ex- Commissioners of Internal Revenue, Supervisors and others in favor of the bill recently published proposing to abolish the office of assessor and as- sigtant assessor. Tne committee will determine whether to favor the bill before any resolution is offered suspending the operation of the existing law requiring the consolidation ofrevenue districts to be made by the 1st of January next. Return of Senator Goldthwaite from Europe. Senator Goldthwaite, of Alabama, who was elected in 1870 and permitted to take his seat last Winter, has returned from a visit to Europe, He ts a native of Boston and was a schoolmate of Charles Sumner, but has resided upward of fifty years in Alabama, where he served as Adjutant General in the Confederate service during the re. cent war. Investigating Boards for the Steamship Inspection Service. The Supervising Inspector General of Steam Ves- gels in his recent report recommends that the act of February 28, 1871, be so amended as to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to appoint-investi_ gating boards in such manner as he may deem proper for the purpose of inquiring into all the cir- cumstances attending casualities to steam vessels, said boards to have the power to revoke or suspend the licenses of steamboat offi- cera. The necessity for such an amend- ment became evident from the fact that the board appointed to investigate the Metis dis- aster was declared by the Solicitor of. the Treasury not to have the power to revoke or, suspend the licenses of the officers found to have been derelict in the discharge of their duties, thus making two investigations.necessary in one case. These of- cers are now being tried by the local board at New “London, the only board, as the Solicitor decides, which hag the power to take such action under the existing law. An Early Disposition of the Choctaw Claims Expected. The Choctaw Indian claims, which have had an existence for nearly forty years, are in a fair way to be disposed of should the opinion of the So-. licitor of the Treasury, adverse to their payment, be adhéred to. In 1871 Congress. authorized the payment of $250,000 ig money anda like amount in bonds, on account, of the claims, then estimates at nearly three millions of dollars, The money was paid, but the bonds haye never been issued, The law officers of the Treasury Departmen} are of the opinion that all the government has. ben responsible for has long since been liquidated, Diplomatic Congratujations on a ‘New Arrival.
