BROOKS’ SON-IN-LAW IAS HIS SAY, Most Extraordinary Disinterestedness—Ques- tions of Veracity—McComb Arraigned by Erooks as a Bad Man—A Compari- son of Characters Invited. WASHINGTON, Jan 138, 1873. ‘The Special Committee, of which Judge Poland is Chairman, to investigate the Crédit Mobilier charges, resumed its session this morning, and the Hon. H. L. Dawes (of Mass.) being present was sworn and submitted a written statement, as fol- lows :— Ihave been ready at all times, whenever It should be desi: by the committee, to make @ full statement of whatever connection I have ever had with the Credit Mobilier, and regret that Ihave not had an earlier op- ity. ‘Twas never the owner of any of the stock portuni of that corporation, yet I ten shares of that stock, but was rescinded before the stock was ns! to me and it never was transferred. At the commence- it of the session In pace et Lgl I had due me at ol agree take id best do with it, advised me to purchase ‘with it a bond of the fowa Cedar Rapids Railroad of Mr. Oakes Ames, saying that he had been purchasing of him & large amount of these bonds for ninety cents on the dol- lar for his bank, and he thought it an excellent invest- ment. I accordingly 70 MR. OAKES WENT suns and asked him to sell me such a bond as he had been selling Mr, Washburn. He replied that he nad not got any of those bonds there, for he bad sold them all; but he had something else as good. and he thought better, He would ave tor my $1,000 ten shares of Credit Mo- T said to him that I did not know anything ‘stock, and asked him to tell me aboutit, He t iss) Pennsylvania corporation which has contract to build the Pacific Railroad. Itis a good I think it will make money out of it rate I guarantee you ten or. a any time I will pay_ yor YOUr money and ten per cent interest.” rould think of \t and let hi now. I then inquired of Mr, Alley about this stock, and he said it w: stoc! but he did not think it wax as good as Mr. Ames thought it was. On my telling him that Mr. Ames offered to guar- antee me ten per cent, he said that 1 was safe enough then, and I made no further inquiry, but went to Mr. mes and told him that I would tuke the stock, He said he could not transfer it to me then, that the first time he went home he would get it trans: ferred tome and let me have it. I, therefore, paid him over the $1,000 and tov HIS ACCOUNTABLE RECEIPT for It, he gaying, at the time he gave it fo me, that if at any time I got sick of it he would take it back and pay 6 MY money and ten per cent intere:t, Before he went ome I had cccasion to go home to Pitisfleld, and while thore Mr. Edward Learned, a friend and heighbor of wine, who was then, I believe, an officer In the Kansas Pactfle Railroad, came into my office and told me o sult which Duff Green had commenced, or was about to commence, in the Pennsylvania Courts against Mr. Ames ‘And his asociates to get possession of THR CREDIT MORILAER CHARTER claiming that it belonged to him and to his associates, and Deon wrongfully taken possession of by Mr! Ames and those connected with him. When I returned to Washington I told Mr. Ames what Mr. Learned had tome, and told him i dic not want any such stock. “Well, you need not take it; [ will pay you back your moncy and ten per cent interest if you preter.” Itold him that fdid. He thereupon settled with me in that way, lowing me interest and paying me back the money. em ind beta T went to Pitts- fleld, he had paid time, ai me a dividend once. Ido not know how much it was, but I think it was about THIRTY-FIVE PRR CENT. Whatever it was [ allowed hun in the settlement, he pay- ing me over the balance only. This was the eui of the jon. The stock was never transierred tome at all. Ihave had no other transaction with the Credit Mobliier of the Union Pacific Railroad. Neither during | this transaction, nor before it, nor since its close have entertained any'thought or pu in connection with | it, nor was anything ever suggested to me in that | connection in any way, directly or indirectly, having reference to any ‘official conduct of mine {n or out of Congress; nor did anything in con nection with it pass between me and Mr. Ames or any other person other than would naturally have had I purehased of him the Jowa Railroad bond, lendeavored fo get, or had I purchased any share of National bank stock, or a United States bond, either of him or of an banker outeide of Congress. do not rem » Honed, or any matter touching the Pacific Ra\iroad, then being constructed, nor did L know of Mr. Ames dealing with any other pefion in oF out of Consress. In closing this statement of all that did occur in the transaction, 1 | desire to add that although I have never desired or sought to conceal, in any way, anything that I have done In this matter, 1 have. never’ made or authorized any ublic statement in reference to It before to: dats feelin; hat I could patiently wait until fee shoul ll upon me for this stat get into print, without iny vate note written by me to a fr: ing him for voluntarily and on his own responsibility Genying the statement in the York Sun that Mr. Oakes Ames had, for corrupt purposes, given me stock In the Crédit Mobiller. I desire to make that note a part of this testimony, in order that all I have said as well as all that I have done in reterence to this @ part of this statement. The note i: THY NOTE TO THM FRIEND.

DAWES, In answer to questions of Judge Poland Mr. Dawes tes- tifled that to the best ot hiy memory it was at the begin- ning of the December session of 1867 that he let Mr. Ames have the $1,000. ‘The dividend was paid to him in’ about three weeks afterwards, The transaction was rescinded in January, 18683 Knew nothing of the market value ot that stock.’ When Mr. Ames ‘said he would guarantee him ten per cent he thought the investment would be a ‘The iollowing letters were submitted to the committe: rs 3 1 thank. us Le rie e notice that I de to offer and respectiully ask leave to adduce in oveaenes matters pertinent to and tending to prove the substance of the issue now being tried betore your honorable body, of Congressional bribery and ¢ it Mobilicr and other W.

Victor Emmanuel’s Hostility to the Papacy—The German Opposition to the Church—Conflict of Authority im the Swiss Republic and in Spain—An Armenian 8chism— The Pope's Conzolation. From the Catholic Review, of To-Day.] The following important document ts a transla- tion, made for the Catholic Review, of the Papal allocution addressed by the Holy Father to the Cardinals in the Consistory of December 23. It has already attracted profound attention in Europe, where it has won from friend and foe renewed ex- pressions of admiration for the vigor and firmness of Our Father the Pope, who will purchase no advantage by a compromise of principie, and who protests against injustice, no matter wnat the oads he has to oppose, and who fears the Piedmontcse usurper in the halls of the Quirinal no more than he dreads the Piedmontese intruder in the palace of Isabel the Catnolic, and who is no respecter of persons, whether Turkish Sultan or German Kaiser. We need not repeat that the publication of this allocution in the Prussian dominions has led to the proseoution of several Catholic journals, ALLOCUTION OF OUR Most HoLy Lorp Pros IX., by the favor of Divine Providence, Pope, deliv- ered 224 December, 1872, to the Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, in the Palace of the Vatican, ‘VENERABLE BRoTHERS—The just and merciful Lord, whose judgments are inscrutable and whose ways are not to be scanned, permits this Apostolic See and the whole Church in union with it to groan under a long and cruel persecution. Our and your condition, venerable brothers, has not been changed, but rather is daily aggravated since the occupation of our provinces, and especially since two years ago this glorious city was withdrawn from our paternal rule, THE WORK OF THE SEORET SOCIETIES, The experience of our yoke has taught us, how correctly from the beginning of this persecution, promoted by, the machinations of wicked sects, and pernetats and carried on by their disciples at the head of public affairs. We frequently in our allo- cutions and apostolic letters have asserted openly, that the sovereign rights of our secular princedom were attacked with so much force for no other rea- son, than that so a way might be laid towards abolishing, if that could be done, the spiritual au- thority in which the successors of Peter are glort- ous, and to obliterate the Catholic Church, and the Mei name of Christ himself, living and reigning THE SUPPRESSION OF THR RELIGIOUS HOUSES, Very clearly, indeed, has that been shown by the hostile acts ol the Subalpine government, espect- ally by those iniquitous laws by which even the clerics, corn from the foot of the altars and deprived of their immunity, have been summoned to the military service; by which even Bishpe have been deprived of the right of teaching youth, and their seminaries have been closed. Still this purpose of theirs shall be made still more clear by us. In this very city the religious congregations are disturbed under our own eyes, or violently driven out from their houses and the property of the Church subjected to an enormous tribute and handed over to the disposition of the civil authority, Even now there has been proposed in the Legislative Chamber, as they call it, @ law not wholly dissimilar from that which, notwithstanding our protests and solemn condem- nation, has already veen put into execution in other parts of Italy, which must extinguish, even here in the centre of Catholic faith, the religious congregations, and confiscate the goods of the Church and offer them at public auction, A SPRCIAL OUTRAGE IN ROME, But this law—if, indeed, we can honor by such a name @ decree so re} ive to natural, divine and social rigbt—is much more iniquitous and criminal in Rome and the adjacent provinces, It injures more deeply and sorely the rights and possessions of the universai Church. It attacks the very foun- dation of the true social civilization which the re- jigious orders, with unceasing labor and equal courage and constancy, have promoted and per- fected, not only in our territory, but which they have brought and still bring to foreign and bar- barous nations, despising difficulties, dangers, losses, even life itself, AN ATTACK ON THR SPIRITUAL POWER. In fine, this law attacks the rights and pecieges of our apostolate, since if tie religious houses were obliterated or notably reduced, and the secular cle! reduced to destitution and gradually di- minishing in numbers, owi to the milittary con- scription, not only here as ¢.:ewhere would there be wanting those who shou | break the bread of life to the le, Who shoul. administer the sacra- meuts to the faithful, who sould teach the young and strengthen them against the innumerable snares daily laid for them, but the Keman Ponti would be deprived of those aids which, the unt- versal Master and pastor, he so much needs for the government of the entire Chu INTERNATIONAL ASPECT OF THE CONFISCATION. The spohation of the Roman Church would in. clude those treasures which have been gathered here and placed in the centre of unity by the generosity of all Catholics rather than by the gilt of our own people. And so those treasures which were brought here for the use and increase of the Universal Church will be impiously converted to the use of others, ‘A RENEWED PROTEST. Scarcely had we learned that one of the ministers of the Sub-Alpine government had signitied to the Legislative Assembly his purpose ot submitting to Stroud” chaflcteF thiodgh a feet ol he Next day of June of this y (1872), addressed to our ‘ardinal Secretary of State, and we commanded him that he should make known to the Ambagsa- dors of the ioreign ipomeed near the Holy See this new danger impending over us. Nevertheless, ag the threatened law has been proposed, the duty of our apostolate requires that we should renew with a louder voice the expostulations already made in our presence, venerable brothers, and betore the Jniversal Church, Execrating this nefarious crime, in the name of Jesus Christ, whose Vicar we are on earth, we con- demn it bythe authority of the holy Aposties Peter and Paul and by our own, together with any scheme of law which shall arrogate to itself the power of disturbing the religious orders in Rome and the adjacent provinces, and of depriving th Church there of its pro} erty and of disposing of it for the benefit of the Treasury or otherwise. We therefore pronounce invalid whatever is done against the rights and patrimony of the We declare absolutely void and null any tion by any title of the stolen goods, against a tion of which this Apostolic See will never cease to rotest. Let the authors and supporters of this jaw remember the censures and spiritual punish- ments which, ipso facto incurred, the apostolic constitutions inflict on the invaders of the rignts of the Church, and, pitying their souls bound by these spiritual chains, let them cease to lay up treasures of anger against the day of wrath and of the revelation of the just judgment, THE GERMAN PERSECUTION. The very bitter grief with which we are aMicted, on accouut of these and the other injuries wrought against the Church throughout Italy, has been not lightly increased by the cruel persecutions to which it is subject elsewhere, especially in the new Ger- man Empire, where, not only by secret machina- tions but also by open force, they attempt to sub- vert it from the very foundation, since men who not only do not profess our holy region, but do not even know it, claim for themselves the right of de- fining the dogmas and rights of the Catholic Churen, and while they disturb her they have the audacity to declare that they de her no injury. Moreover, adding Nate and derision to injury, they do not hesitate to attribute this cruel persecu- tion to the fault of the Catholics, forsooth, that their prelates and priesthood, together with the faithful, refuse to prefer the laws and will of the civil Emptre to the holy laws of God and the Church and to abstain from their religious duty, Would that the guides of public aiairs, taught by @ long experience, het a be persuaded that none of their subjects would, with greater exact- ners than Catholics, render to Casar the thi that were Cvesar's, and this precisely because they desire religiously ender to God the things that are God's, THE SWISS VIOLATION OF TREATIFS. The civil authorities of some of the cantons of the Swiss Republic ar to have entered upon the same path as t) rman Empire in deciding on the dogmas ‘of the Catholic faith, in favoring apostates and interrupting the exercise of epis- copal authority, The government of Geneva, al- though bound by a solemn treaty to guard and Se in its bt ih 4 the Catholic religion, has in he past years enacted laws injurious to the author ity and liberty of the Church and more recent has suppressed Catholic schools, has banishe: religious orders and deprived others ot the right of teaching. Lately it has endeavored te destroy the authority which for many years past our ven- erable brother Gasper, Bishop of Hebron, legiti- mately exercises, and to deprive him of his paro- chial benefice, it has even gone so far as to invite, by public solicitation, the tnhabitants to schismatl- cally subvert the ecclesiastical government, sp. Not less grave is wi the Church suffers in Catholic Spain from the hands of the civil power. We have learned that a law concerning the endowment of the cler has been proposed and ratified, by which not oniy are the Solemn treaties and conventions broken, but absolutely eyery rule of rigut and justice ig trampled under foot, This law, which is calculated to increase the destitution and servitude of the clergy and to augment and increase the evils done to that illustrious nation, in these later years, to the injury of faith and ecclesiastical discipline, by a deplorable series of acts of the Spanish government, has cailed for the just ana emphatic comp!aints of our venerable brethren, the bishops of Spain, a8 it now calls for our solemn expostulation. THW ARMENIAN SOMISMATICS, Sadder things are also to be told but impudent band of Armenians, who, that small pecially { at Constantinople, have endeavored by audacious traud and violence to overwhelm the much greater number who remain faithful in their duty and faith. Betying their Catholic name they con- tinue in oj tion to our own supreme autkor- ity and their legitimate patriarch, who, ex- petled by their ar has been compelled to uy an exile to us, by their craftimess they have found favor with the civil power, so that, notwith- ment the exertions of our Legate Extraoi sent thither to arrange this affair, and our own Jetter addressed to the most serene Emperor of the Turks, by force of arms they have converted to their own use some of the Oathoilc churches; eid have assembled in a caucas ( 7m) BN have supptned @ schismatical patriarch, and have succeeded in depriving the Catholics of the rights which they have always up to this enjoyed through public agreements, ncerning these troubles of the Church, we shall perha} eal more explicitly uf our just protests are deg; = WHY THE OHURCH HAS CAUSE TO HOPS. But among so aay. causes fer griet we rejoice, venerable brothe iat you can consoled, as Wwe ourselves have been raised up from our &i tion, by the constancy and indefatigableness of the bishops of these regions as well as elsewhere; bishops who girt round the loins in truth, and clad with the breastplate of justice, and closely bound to this chair of Peter, thtened by no dangers, cast down by no amiction, both end in a body, by word and writing, by ers tions and astoral letters, together with their clei and faithful people, bravely and with alacrity defend the rights of the Church, of this Holy See and of themselves, They rest calumnies, discover plots, defeat the impious and show toall the light of truth. They strengthen the good and theyoppose to the as- saults of the enemy attacking them on all sides the strength of a compact unity. To us, afflicted with 50 poe sue ot the Church, they afford a most comfort ibe ponea ns jon and a powerful help, which will cert: be oer ifthey take care ‘t the bonds of faith and charity in which their minds and affections are joined should daily become closer. To secure this let no one think it inopportune that those who, with the authority of metropolitan: preside over the ecclesiastical provinces, shoul confer with their suffragans in the best manner that circumstances will permit, on those measures which will mutually unite and strengthen thom all in one mind and sentiment, and let them prepare themselves to undergo with & unanimous effort the dificult contest against the assaults of the impious. The Lord has truly smitten us, venerable broth- ers, with His sword, hard, (4 at and strong; the smoke of His anger ascends, and the fire burns from His face. But will God cast us away forever, or will He not be appeased ? No! for the Lord does not forget to have mercy, and He will not stay His mercies in His anger, for He is mighty to pardon, and He may be penne by those invoking Him in truth, and He shall pour out on us the riches of His mercy, Lot us endeavor to appease the Divine anger in this acceptable time of the advent of our Lord, Humbly walking in newness of life, let us go to the King of Peace, who is about to come to announce peace to men and good will. The just and merciful God by whose mysterious purpose we are permitted to see the sorrow of our people and the sorrow of our Holy City, and to sit here when it is given into the hands of the onan He will incline His ear to hear; He will open His eyes and see our desolation and the city upon which His name is invoked, PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS. S SENATE. + Wasuivaton, Jan, 13, 1873. Mr. Logan, (rep.) of IiL, made a personal explanation in reply to an article published in the Chicago Tribune re- flecting upon him, Mr. Winpom, (rep.) of Minn., offered an amendment pro- viding that the Lill shall not be construed to change or limit the operation of the Homestead or Pre-emption laws. Mr, SueeMay, (rep.) of Ohio, said this bill would give away over thirty-four millions of dollars. He also ex- pressed doubt as to the constitutionality of the bill. The distribution was not to be in proportion to population, buton @ plan which would give Arizona, for instance, with only 17,000 inhabitants, as much as would be given to Ohio or New York. The original act establishing agri- cultural colleges had been ‘A GREAT DISADVANTAGE TO THE WESTERN STATES. The nancial condition of the nation at this time was not such that it could afford to give away tor chimerical projects the whole proceeds of the public lands for the next ten years. Mr. MORRILL, (rop.) of Vt., said Mr, Thurman was mis- taken in his statements, and that the greatest interest was felt In this bill by the mechanics and farmers throughout the country. Mr, Tuurmax, (1ib.) of Ohlo, said there was no constitu- tional power in Congress to distribute the public money in 4 manner so unequal as to give 300,00) people in a sparsely settled State the same amount as to 4,500,000 of people in the State, of New York; but even it it were constitutional and just it' would be Impolitic to make such distribution. The bounty of the nation should be distributed either according to Ropulation oF to those, localities where it is most needed. jassachusetts, for instance, could more easily establish and maintain an agricultural department in connection with one of her existing colleges, without @ dollar of pub- lic aid, than Texas could do it with the aid of three mil- lions of dollars, Thurman said also that he had little confidence in these ricultural colleges, and did not be- lieve that they ha en go successiul as their friends represented. r. PATTERSON, (Fop.) of N. H., dented that It was neces- sarily just to distribute ald for ¢ducational institutions in proportion to population. The benefits of the colleges of New England were not confined to the people of New Fugland, but were open to and enjoyed by the people of the whole country, and the institutions to be alded by this bill would operate for the benefit of the whole coun- try. There was a pressing neces-ity for such education as they would give in agriculture and the mechanic arts, Mr. Tncrwan said It was true that youths from other States had gone to be educated at Yale and Harvard in the past, and did yet. to a lessextent) but this bill con- templated the existence of a college In each State for the education of its own people. Mr, FLANAGAN, (rep.) of Texas, advocated the bill, and redicted that the t'me would soon come when the’ chil- ven of the North, instead of being educated in their na- tive polar region, would sent to the sunny South, where they could pluck an orange from the tree every day in the'year. ir. SHERMAN said that If the proceeds of the public lands were to be appropriated for education they ought not to be confined to agricultural and mechanical schools. ! LS 3 A bette) f the money would be to apply it to the sappee of éOmmon Schools, gepecially he Southern States, lication of the pro- He was opposed to the ye ceeds of the public lands for either of these purposes, but it they were to be applied for education at all let it be for the common schools. Mr, Mornitt, of Vt, having remarked in the course of the debate that Mr. Sherman could not conceal bis con- culture, Mr. Sherman said in reply that the remark was absurd, an it he represented more farm- ers than ‘e to be found in all New England. Mr, SHeRMAN moved to amend the bill so as to appro- r. priate the proceeds of the public lands to THY SUPPORT OF COMMON SCHOOLS. Mr, Bucxincnay, nothing done in had done go much to elevate ti bee: years which of education school or college, established ander the act of 1362, and expressed the opinion that the effect of the bill, if passed, would be beneticial to the common schools everywhere throughout the country. Mr. Sherman's amendment was lost—yeas 9, nays 32. Mr. Sawyen, (rep.) of 8. C., said there was no good reason why appropriations for the endowment of edu- cational institutions, which were for the benefit of the whole country, should be made strictly according to Population, Congress might with as much reason refuse an appropriation for a ye tated on the coast or New Jersey equal.to that for a lighthouse on the coast of New ROS upon the ground that the former was the smaller tate. Mr. Hamtitow, (dem.) of Md., opposed the bill as an attempt to give the general government control of the education of the people of the country, and also SQUANDERING THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. Mr. Stewart, (rep.) of Nev., offered an amendment permitting Nevada to establish a mining school instead ofan agricultural college. Mr. Taunman moved to refer the bill to the Committee on Public Lands. Lost—yeas Il, nays 26, Pending further action the Senate went into executive session and soon after adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Wasminaro, Jan. 18, 1873. Under the call of Statesalarge number of bills were introduced and referred. 2UDGE DURELL'S CONDUCT TO BR INQUIRED INTO. Mr. Kxuuny, (rep.) of Pa., offered the following resolu- tion, which was adopted :— Resolved, That the Judiciary Committee be instructed to inquire into the conduct of Edward H.

The call of States being concluded, Mr, Hrssaxp, em.) of N.

Pecaient ‘of the Unitod men who hi int tful and constitutional and reg- joverninent of a Stale. He (Mr. Kerr) was opposed to all such whitewashing propositions. Mr. Dawas, (rep.) of Mass.—What remedy does the gen- tleman propose Mr. Kerk—The remedy is as clear to me asthe light of the sun, Itconsisiy alone in the federal government keeping its hands of lawless power off the people of Louisiana and suffering them to go on in the exercise ot their own power under the constitution In reorganizing and ¢ ishing order in their own State. Mr, Smita, (rep.) of N, ¥.—Suppose the Presidential election had turned on the vote of Loutsiana, would we not have civil war in every State of the Union ? Mr. Kerr—I do not seo any necessity for civil war arising out of these Louisiana troubles except for this lawless interference. It is true that if this lawless inter- ference had not taken place, first on the part of the tede- ral judiciary in Louisiana and then on the part of this administration, the electoral vote of Louisiana would not becasttor Grant But, now, what is the remedy? Take off this lawless power and give back to these people the right to control their destinies within the letter aud spirit of the constitutiou of the United States. 1, STEVENSON, (rep.) ot Ohio, opposed the resolution, arguing that there were no less than five committees in the two houses that had nomjurisdiction over the ques- KU KLUX COMMITTEE, a osed to be in existence; there red tion. There was Committee, which was sent last Winter Louisiana, and there were the two election committe and the Judiciary Committees. If matters went on they were goi gress would have to keep up a Standing Committee on the State of Louisiana. Mr. FAnNswonra asked Mr. Stevenson how the Com- mittee on Elections could get jurisdiction of the question. Mr. Stavxnson replied that vacancy for a member of the House had been filled at the last election, and that the contest for the seat was now before the Committee on Elections. | He went on to argue aguinst the resolution, urging that something should be left to time, the g: healer—that Louisiana should be left to take care of h self, and that Congress should be done with this everlast- ing question of reconstruction. Let them, said he, recos struct themselves somewhat. If they cannot have peace let them have trouble somewhat. I would not much care if some of those violent rascals down there should cut each others throats, Mr, Cox, dem.) of New York, supported the resolution. He wanted the facts to come out. le wanted no ex parte statement by the Executive. He wanted to have BOTH SIDES OF THE QUESTION, so that Congress might be able to determine the proper course to be pursued. Mr. Pouanp, (rep.), of Vt., agreéd that however much information Congress might get on the subject, It would not authorize any action by Congress. It was a mere ques- tion of control as to the result of an election. If Congress were to interfere there, whenever there was a contest in any State Congress would be called upon to interfere to decide the question. It was purely @ Judicial question and the duty of both sides was to resort to the judicial tribunals of the State. One side In this contest had done so and had got a decision in Its favor. to inquire whether that deeision was right of wrong. It was the duty of the Executive to see that the people of Loulsiana dil not get into civil war and anarchy, and that he had done, ‘Mr. SuxLDoN said that Judge Durell had never passed on the question of the Governorship, as there was no controversy about it until to-day, when the inauguration of the Governor would take place.

He therefore wanted solemn and FUNDAMENTAL ACTION IN TH MATTER. Mr. Bixcwam, (rep.) of Ohio, sustained the resolution, Mr. ScortxnD, (rep.) of Pa., opposed it because he thought that all the important offelal facts in the macter were already understood and were, he presumed, con- tained in the message from the President, which’ had been handed to the Speaker since the opening of the de- bate. He sustained the action of the President as being strictly in the line ot his duty. Mr. Dawns, of Mass, op}osed the resolution, stating that he was more TROUBLED WITH EXISTING FACTS than with any effort to search after others, The const!- tution imposed on the Executtve the duty of recognizing, when there is a conflict ina State, which of the two was the government de facto, not de jure, and Cougress was not to set up by enactment one sot of officers, but was to de- cide on its part who were the de facto, not ‘the de jure, offl- cers of the government. The question as to who were de jure the Governor and Legislature elected in Louisiana should be lett to the State Courts, Thus far the President had acted in conformity with his duty, Mr, SUxLLaparai } (rep.) of Ohio, endorsed the views of Mr, Dawes, and’ Messrs, PoLaNo and ELDRIDGE en- dorsed those of Mr. Kerr. Mr. Ganvrx.p, (rep.) of Ohio, offered as a substitute for the resolution oue referring the President’s Message on e subject of Louisiana to the Judiciary Committee, with instructions to report whether any facts in the case require action on the part of Congress, ir. Garfleld’s resolution was adopted asa substitute for that offered by Mr. Sheldon, On the motion of Mr. Hinsanp, of N.

THE NEW YORK SPORTSMEN’S CLUB. eareneewr se seeeeveare Annual Meeting Last Evening—Discas- sions on the Game Laws—Election of Officers for 1873. The New York Sportsmen's Club held its twenty- ninth annual meeting at the residence of the coun- sel, Mr. ©. E. Whitehead, 64 West Thirty-fifth Street, last evening. The President, Mr. Royal Phelps, occupied the chair. The Sec- retary having read the minutes, and the ordinary routine business having been transacted, Mr. Whitehead spoke at some length on the sub- ject of the sale of venison when out of season in this city. He said that very large quantities were in the market, and the venders of it claimed a right to dispose of it, asserting that it was im- ported from Minnesota. There was a difficulty in ayled where the deer were killed, and therefore e 80; ted that the association should call the attention of the Legislature to the fact that mere possession did not constitute an offence and was not liable to @ penalty. He thought the constant and ceaseless ration of the game laws by the Legislature militated against the work the club was endeavoring to forward. The President asked how the law of possession affected trout and quail, as he knew parties who claimed to obtain their supplies from Canada, Mr. Wintehead explained that the law gave a certain aate on which the killing of trout was to cease, yet it was a matter of State right. One State law confounded with another, and as game became an article of merchandise in one State it could be one oe sls ee: fies th ir, Royal elps thou; that if the club pnt the matter before the Legis ture in Alban; ints proper light it would provide a remedy. He men- tioned a case of a fisnmonger in Sixth avenue who had, afew days ago, @ number of trout in his pos- session, contrary to law,which, he said, he had pur chased trom @ Fulton Market dealer. This last man defied the clab, and he prorense that he should be sued under the section ef the by-laws that met the case, It was decided to sue the offender for the ful penalty—$1,000, Mr. PALMER said he had travelled much in Iowa and Illinois and found that the sportsmen’s clubs there wore as anxious to stop the importation of game to New York out of season as their own ciub was, but they said they found it impossible to do so unless the New York club lent them all thé aid in their power, by suppressing the sale in this city, Dr. SrRPHEN A. MAIN offered the following reso- lation, which was unanimously adopted :— Jt was not for him. to offe: Resolved, That the club. begs respectfully to represent to the Legislature of the Sta 6 alienation of the jaw for the preservatisn of deer, made at st session of its body, changed the irit and uniformity of the law on these subjects, ay the power of enforcing this law and excludes persons interested in these laws in this city trom giving any aid in the enfurcement of the law; and that this club recommends that the law on this subject be restored ‘as formerly. Mr. Curfee was then elected by ballot a member of the club, and Mr, Thomas A. Cuthbert aud Major William Ferguson proposed for election next month. The election of oficers for the ensuing year was then Bg =a with, and resulted as follows ;— President, Royal Phelps; Vice-President, R. B. Roosevelt; Counsel, € les E.

AN ADDITIONAL CHAPTER OF HORRORS. A Crew Subsist Ten Days on Human Flesh. Forty-eight Days in Open Boats. NARRATIVE OF THE FIRST OFFICER. The New Orleans Times of the 9th instant contains the narrative of Mr. John Saville, first efficer of the American ship Goiden Hind, who reached New Or- leans on the 7th from Rio Janeiro. A report of this disaster, together with the sufferings,of the crew, was published in the marine column of the HERALD of October 24 last; but the presen¢ narra- tive is replete with new and startling incidents We copy from the 7imes:— THE FIRST OFFICER'S NARRATIVE. The American stip Golden Hind, Captain Benjae min F. Robbins, leit New York on the 12th of Feb- ruary on @ voyage to San Francisco, Whenin latitude of St. Catherines we experienced a series of heavy westerly gales, which continued for nearly a month with great violence, On the 13th of June last, when on the west side of Patagonia, and at the Pacific entrance to the Straits of Jan, the pintals ne poageons, ef the rudder gave way and it floatedom. Three days were consumed in constructing @ temporary one of spare spara. It lasted about @ week, but in another heavy gale this was also carried away, and we driited at the mercy of the winds. On the second day after this last ster the Gelden Hind STRUCK BETWEEN TWO ROOKS, one forward and one aft, on the western coast o8 Patagonia, Three boats were hurriediy Le syria the men put on extra suits of clothes, ina small quantity of provisions, and at seven o'clock that evening lowered away.. In the hurry of de- parture nearly all of our nhuticai instruments were left on ‘d,and, in fact, many articles absolutely necessary. ‘There were three boats lowered—the first under the command of Captain Robbins, the second commanded by myself, and the third in charge of Mr. Webb, the second mate. Each contained seven men. Mr. Webb, assert that he knew the situation better than we [needa vrig bory almost immediately, and it bei hen quite dark we lay under the lee of the lan until morning, The sea at the time we left the ship was breaking over her fore yard, and during the night she beat to pieces on the roc! SEARCH FOR THE MISSING BOAT. The next morning the last vestige of the Golden Hind had disappeared, and a search, which con- tinued two days, was made for the other beat, but no trace of her could be seen. We have long ere this concluded that she was swamped, and that her entire crew were drowned. Upon examina- tion it was found that we had a small box and @ bag of hard bread, the latter soaked with sea water, about twenty cans of beef, a little tea and coffee. An allowance of one cracker to each man, and one can of beef to fourteen was at first issued, but this speedily decreased to hal{ a cracker, ai finally we did not taste beef more than once a week, WITHOUT A COMPASS. A few days after we left the wreck the captain’s boat was swainped, and we lost our COMB AR, the only instrument we had, and a quantity of the i Nepee An attempt was made to reach San ‘oint, a Chilean convict settiement, and the ing station of tne Pacific Mail steamers, about two-thirds the way through the Straits of te, te but our course couid only be determined by and stars. THE DREARY ASPECT. 1t was then mid-Winter, the mountains alo! coast were covered with snow and ice an the mercury must have been several degrees below zero, We eed close to the land, werking all night in fi ir weather, and, daring a heavy blow, landing and going into cai P There were plenty of scrab trees along the coast, and as we were provided with two hatchets and a good supply of matches a fire was always to be procured. During these visits we secured quite a good re of shell fish resembling the muscle, but we found that this diet brought on constipation, and the entire party became unwell. ILLNESS. For about twenty days the men held ont ad- mirably, but in the bilter cold a number were pas itten, and our legs and feet were terribly swollen, On going into camp we constructed a tent of the boat's sail and a mizzen royal sail, with the oars, A fire was built in the centre, and the fourteen men sat around it the night through. We sufferea terribly from the loss of sieep, as no one dared to remain away from the fire for fear of fpening to death, and the tent was too smaii to hold ali in reclining position. v4 At the end of tne twentieta any the general de- bility from insuficient food and the extreme pain in our limbs rendered the Rartice, slow, and very often we camped for several days at a time. ‘The allowance of bread had been reduced to WUARTER OF A CRACKER A DAY, and very often the men did without fora day or two together to helpout the supply. Their conduct Liem tore tue dreadful ordeal was most courage- ous, Every man rendered implicit obedience, and, although the ravages of hunger rendered each al- a _ animal, tile general welfare was never lost 8 tof Almost the entire month of sy. was spentin pte in what we believed to be the direction to andy Point. The only human beings we met were treated luck for a an Indian and two squaws in a canoe. The: us cordially, and willingly exchanged a small quantity of tobaeco, but they had no other provisions. We had secured from the ship two rites, and one of the crew shot a duck, but the powder became wet and cur weapons were useless. A dead duck found among the rocks was also se- cured and eaten, but, with the exception of the shell fish, this was the es food we secured, ‘HUNGER. In the latter part of July the weather became fearfully tempestuous, and alter several days of fruitless buieting we went into our last encam ment. It was a terribly bleak and desolate spot shut out from the sea by high clits, and filled with low stunted trees. We found, however, a few Toots, some berries, and, strange to say, a little celery; and, not knowing whether the vegetables were poisonous or not, cach man partook raven- ously of whatever he could find, he high tides prevented our securing shell fish, and the few Seals we saw were too timid to capture; but we secured water in abundance from the streams rua- ning down the mountain, DEATH. Here the men became seriously ill, Their legs were swollen to frightful proportions, but few could wear their boots, and a majority wandered about with their feet tied in old cloth and pieces of canvas. Some, unable to walk at all, crawled about on their hands and knees, Atlength ® man named White, a seaman, be- came delirious, and shortly afterwards died, The ground was so hardly frozen that it was im) sible to dig a grave, so we carried the body a short distance from the tent and laid it in the bushes. The next one attacked was a young fellow we calied Dan—sailors, you know, never give their full names except on the articles—and he died within three hours atter he beeame delirious, The carpenter, aman from Liverpool, was the next victim ; then we lost Charley, & German a and finally another sailor called Frank. All o! them died within ten days of each other, and all were lain side by side out in the bushes. As cach one left us we took his clothes to keep the living ones warm, but aay at these days not one of us had a mouthful of f THE BANQUET ON HUMAN FLESH. At length the steward, taking one of the men ont with him into the brush, returned with slices of meat, which were roasted over the fire ond capone devoured. We all of us knew we were sustaining life on the bodies of our dead companions, but no man asked @ question, Sometimes we had it boiled and sometimes roasted. It tasted some- ue like beef, but {¢ makes me shudder now to think of it. THE RESCUE, When we had eaten almost all of the last body the sch: oner Eagle, ot Port Staniey, Faulkland Islands, out seal fishing, hove in sight, One of our men crawled up to the head of the rocks, and wavi the American flag, with the union down, attract their attention. ‘They ickea us up and received us all with ag great kindness as if we had been their own kindred. We found that we had pulled about two-thirds of the way through the Straits of Magellan, and were then within sixty miles of Sanay Point, ‘There, after the third day, the Eagle landed us ’ and the Chilean Governor at once provided us with everything in the ay of food and clothing we re- quired, fie would have sent us by the steamer to Valparaiso, but before she arrived the United States sloop-of-war Ossippe put into port and wook us on board—Captain Robbins, myselt, the stew- ard and five seamen who were leit of a crew of twenty-one. From the time the Golden Hind went to pieces we spent usin days in open boats, with only the subsistence [have named.
