WHirrLe, Adjutant General, Hoad- quarters of the Army, Washington :— Accompanied by Colonel Gillen, I had an unsatis- tactory interviow with Oaptam Jack yesterday Afternoon im the neighborhood of histamp. The result confirmed the impression Captain Jack's demeanor is that of a man under duress, and afraid to exhibit his real feelings. Important questions were evaded or not answered at all. ‘ The substance of ali that could be elicited from him was that he did not want to fight; that the lava beds was a bad place, and that he wanted to go to his home on Lost River. He wanted ail of the soldiers moved out of the country. If anybody. wanted te talk to him they must comé to the camp, and if anything was to be done for him it must be done there. The meeting of yesterday was im part accidental, asIhad not intended to communicate with Cap- tain Jack until the troops were in tneir new post- tions; put the conference was invited by ge In- dians and wasaccepted. As first arranged, Captain Jack and Schonchin John, the second chief, were to have met @olonel Gillem and myself, but when we reached the place we found that the war faction had substitated their leader for Schonchin, no doubt for the purpose of watching Captain Jack and seeing that be did not commit himself to their prejudice. ‘The troops are now woving into their positions, and when they have reached them communica- tion may again be opened with the Modocs with the hopes of better results. BD. R. CANBY, Brigadier General Commanding. ASHINGTON. eee WASHINGTON, March 26, 1873. Adjournment of the Senate Sine Dic=— Closing Scenes of the Session. The Senate has adjourned at last sine die. The proceedings of this last day were rather tame, and when the moment for adjournment arrived it seemed a relief from the monotony of the session. The most important subject brought up was Sen- ator Windom’s resolution instructing the Commit- tee on Transportation to inquire into tho refusal of the railroad companies to carry postal cars after April 1, and whether legis- lation in this respect is necessary to pro- tect the interests of the government and people. Senator Morrill, of Vermont, adverted to the attempt of the railroads to dictate terms to the government, and, seeing the justice ofhis remarks, the Senate agreed tothe resolution. As a charity to ex-Senator Patterson his pamphict has been al- lowed to go into the Congressional record, and the poor victim of Hoax Ames is welcome to all the satisfaction he may derive from so small a boon, which was, however, only granted under the terror- izing inOuence of Sherman’s threat that if the Sen- aterefased to have it printed he (Sherman) would read the whole pamphiet of forty-five pages from beginning to end before the Senate, and thus force it into the Congressional record as part of the pro- ceedings. The Senate yielded to this terrinle threat. After some discussion of little interest a committee of three was appointed to notify the President that the Senate was ready to adjourn. The Senate then went into executive session on the nominations, all of which were confirmed with the exception of two unimportant ones. A few minutes before three the doors were again opened, and immediately after Morton made a motion to adjourn sine dte. Here Stockton interposed with a resolution of thanks to Vice President Wilson for the able, courteous, impartia) manner in which he had presided over the Senate- At this several Senators chuckled, for it was but yesterday that Stockton had to rise three times be- fore being recognized by the honest but sadly be- fogged Henry. eBut this is not all. Senator Stock- ton having yielded to one of his colleagues on the democratic side for a few minutes, the good Henry forgot all about him, and cut him out completely by recognizing somebody else when it came to Stéckton’s turn to have the floor, which pro- duced some amusing explanations. This resolu- tion being unanimeusly passed Matt Carpenter, as President pro tem., announced the adjournment without day, and the special session was at an end. There were none of the peculiarly interesting incidents which characterized the final adjourn- ment of the House. There was little handshaking or leave taking. The Senators lingered somewhat longer than usual in the Chamber, but parted one by one without any visible sorrow on their faces at the separation. Rare Admiral Robeson Appointed Seere- tary of War. The question as to whether under the existing laws General Sherman could be Acting Secretary of War or Secretary pro tem. during the absence of Secretary Belknap, who leaves to-morrow on an inspection, in company with General Sheridan, of the military posts of the Depart- ment of the Missouri, having arisen, the matter was submitted to Attorney Gene- ral Williams for decision, and he decides that under an act of Congress, approved in 1871, no oficer of the army can nold any civil position, and that in case he does so he forthwith ceases to be an officer of the army. General Sherman will con. sequently not serve as Secretary of War during the absence of General Belknap, and the President has designated Secretary Robeson to act as Secretary of War during the absence of Secretary Belknap. The Farragut Prize Money at L: Some months ago the claim of Admiral Farragat and his officers and men for prize money for the destraction of the rebel vessels at the capture of New Orleans during the rebellion was referred to arbitrators, Messrs. H. W. Paine, of Boston; G. V. ‘Fox, formerly Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and Thomas J. Durant, of this city. To-day the arbitrators filed their report, awarding the sum of $268,600. They found that on the rebel ves- sels there were 1.343 men, and they allow to the claimants $200 for euch man engaged on the enemy's boats. Appointments by the President.

A serious accident occurred on .“Le Wilmington and Weldon Railroad near this place ‘is morning. ‘The mai! train, due here at half-past ."2Ur o'clock A. M., encountered a broken rail on t:°¢ trestle atthe north prong of Town Oreek. The ¢hgine jamped the obstacle, but two cars, first and s cond olass, were hurled over into the water belW. The sleeping car, on which most of the ladicd were, escaped injury. TERRIBLE RESULTS OF THE BROKEN RAIL, The rail was broken oy the two A, M, South bound freight train. Captain Howell, the con- ductor, and Mr. Prentiss, the Southern Express messenger, were slightly wounded, and four col- ored men were more or less injured. The ‘wounded men are here, unable to be moved. They give the most terrifying descriptions of the disaster, and represent the watlings of the wounded in the darkness as fearful. The sleep- ing car stopped before it reached the trestle, other- wise the slaughter among the lady passengers would have deen frightful, as that car was the only one crowded on the train. Twenty-four hours will be required to repair the break. GRAPHIC ACCOUNT BY A PASSENGER. Mr, A. F, Wheeler, of Syracuse, N. Y,, a passenger on the train, makes the following interesting and graphic statement :— The accident happened about forty miles from Weldon, between the hours of four and five o’clock in the morning. The train was running, as well as I can judge, between twenty and thirty mties an hour. The first sensation I felt was a bumping and oscillation, which told me we were off the track, I was fully conscious of the danger, but sat periectly still, The next sensation can hardly be described, for the reason that it was over in # minute; L knew that the car had gone over an embankment, that we HAD FALLEN A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE, When I recovered myself, so to speak, I was standing upon the side of the car, Everything waa in dire confusion, As the cars went over the coals in the stove were scattered in every direction and set fire to the car 1 wasin, In afew moments it was filled with, smoke almost to suffoca- tion, Mr. L., BP. Curtis, my companion, was the first passenger to get out of the car, and immediately ran along the top and smashed in all the windows to let the smoke out and make a way of escape for the other passengers. Two cars went over the embankment, which was some fifteen feet high. Not knowing exactly where we were, an having fallen into a little rivulet, THE TERROR OF DROWNING was also present with us at the first moment of the accident. Some of the passengers near the stove were badly burned, The work of removing the passengers was accomplished in fifteen min- utes, the uninjured working with a will to save their fellow passengers. The panic was indescribable, and can only be appreciated by those who have been similarly circumstanced. Not more than a dozen persons were hurt, none, it is stated, fatal. As a general thing the ladies aeted with more composure than the men, The accident was caused by a broken rail. Thecars wrecked were between the baggage car and the sleeping car, the couplings of which broke, leav- ing them on the track. AS soon as we had ex- tinguished the flames we came on te Weldon in the mail and baggage car. Mr. Wheeler and other passengers have continued on North. LOUISIANA. Colered Republicans “Putting Them- Ives Right Upon the Record ”—A ‘Wail Over Pinchback and Ray and a Cry for Spoils. New ORvEans, March 26, 1873. A large meeting of prominent colored republi- cans was held last night at St. James’ chapel. Messrs. Antoine, Ingraham, Brown, Barber, Des- lande, Gair, Allain, Hebert, Quinn, Radriquez and others participated. A series of resolutions were adopted. The first, second and third endorse Judge Darrell, W. H. Hunt, Deckwith, Billings, Senator Morten, the Kellogg State government and comfpiment President Grant for bis devotion to republican principles. ‘The following resolutions are given in extenso:— Resolved, We declare our unfaltering devotion to the Principles ’ wud doctrines of the | republican, party, ut coniess that eur confidence has been weakened, our hopes disappointed in our Congressional del tion, who, elevated to position and influence b; have ignored their constituents in the distribution of atronage. We recognize in the Hon. P. B. 8. ‘inchback, the representative man of his race, and deservedly the most popular republican in Louisi: ana, the true friend of the whole race and pride of his constituents, a remarkable example of persevering in- dustry and a brilliant illustration of free institutions; and standing, as he does, conspicuously belore the nation, we ‘him with pride as one of the 3 of our su point to few membe Congress elected from Louisiana since the reconstruction whose skirts are free from suspicion ot fraud and corrup- fie oa who represents a constituency that delights to do im honor. ‘We are cosely, pained at the failure to accord to Hon. P. 8. Pinchback his seat in the United States Senate to which he has been elected by the General Assembly of Louisiana, a body elected by the People, legalized by the e highest judicial tribunal of State, sanctoned by the" federal courts, recognized by’ the Unile Senate and rotected: the President? this injustice be perpetrated by a rep’ we fear that it would” be impossible, under a popular revulsion on the one hand and the powerful and progressive infl ration by the oppone: guarantee the tealt our people to the republican party lusion by the Louisiana Congressional delegation of Governor Pimch- back and the Hom. Jehn Ray, two recognized leaders of the republican party and {ts noted element of strength, from, consuitation Yn dispensing federal patronage in Lousiana, was an act offensive to us, which calls for our ‘unqualified condemnation, and more than demonstrates that our confidence was misplaced. hth—In New Orleans alone there is an intelligent and cultivated eee t color exceeding in votes the entire white republican strength throughout the State, where republicanism is unquestioned and unquestion- able, who should be considered and consulted as repre- sentative men in the dispensation of onage at least equally with our white friends, the afl ion of many of whom with our party ts bounded by official prospects. Ninth—We have just cause to grievously complain of summary removal from federal position, since the eiec- tion, of reliable and efficient colored men upon charges of incompetency, after protracted and satisfactory ser- vice without any complaint. In our theory of govern- ment the Legisiature is supreme, and all attempts of any ¢epartment to impair its integrity, reflect upon Its character, assume its prerogatives or compro- mise out of office mat undue or improper influence, our representatives duly elected, justly alarms us. The alleged conduct of persons who were elected by the # legal Board, in pjactes their dividual caprice, sm on the other, to people and retui ‘by ations in other hands, subject to creates the greatest suspicion and demands a thorough investigation by their respecive constituencies. THE HEGGI POISONING CASE. The Prisoner Aequitted of the Charges Made Against Him. The jury in the Heggi case, of which a full re- port will be found elsewhere, agreed on a verdict at half-past twelve this morning. When the Recorder left the court room in the evening he had said that if the jury agreed ona verdict by ten o’clock he should be called down, otherwise not. At about half-past ten the jury announced that they had agreed upon a ver- dict. The court officers decided to send for the Recorder, and accordingly a messenger was des- patched to his residence in Park avenue. In the meantime the deputy sheriffs went to the Tombs and aroused Heggiand brought him once more to the Court. He arrived there at about eleven o'clock and took a seat in the corridor amid @ crowd of court officers, deputy sheriff and reporters, who cracked jokes around him as the fate of a human being were not about to be decided. At a quarter past twelve the Recorder’s carriage arrived at the Chambers street entrance of the Court House, the Judge himself having been aroused from his bed. He took his seat on the bench, to the rellef of every one, including the prisoner and jury. was alone, his wife having left the court room wheh it was supposed that the jury had been locked up for the night. The Clerk of the Court called the jurors, and each one answered to his name. The prisoner was ordered to stand up.

He added that ever had a thought of poisoning Siegfried, but that even more ‘than for his own libe- ration he felt giad for his wife and children. The reporter spoke to eight of ttre jurymen, all of whom said that they had eed not to give any inkling of the course Of their deliverations. Ten minutes after the verdict was rendered the Court House was deserted.
