The Secretary “Of the Navy had issued orders that no One “ahonld be allowed to board the Frolic, nor should ‘gay of the Polaris party be Permitted to go ashore without his orders, THE BLACK SIDEWHEEL STRAMER, not an entire stranger in these waters, became at once the special object of attraction. As soon as. it was known who were on board an anxious crowd lined the wharf, closely watching the move- menta of everybody on deck, expecting to geta glimpse of the Esquimaux or the wonderful baby. Commander Schoonmaker reported to the Com- Mandantof the Yard that he arrived under orders. SECRETARY ROBESON WANTS IMMEDIATE INVESTIGA- ‘TION, Secretary Robeson was informed by messenger at two o'clock, and without a moment’s delay he sent word to Captain Howgate, of the Signal Ser- vice Bureau; Commedore Reynolds, Chief ef the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting, and Professor Spencer F. Baird, of the Smithsonian Institute, that it waa his desire to begin the examination of the Polaris castaways this: afternoon, and re- quested them to accompany him to the Navy Yard to assist him. The party was further strengthened by the venerable Mr. Rockwell, Proiessor Baird’s stenographer. The Secretary equipped nimself with his-annual report for 1871, containing fall the instructions to Captain Hall and his party in reference to the expedition toward the North Pole, copies of the HgRaLp contain- ing the full account of Captain Tyson's arrival at St. Johns, and the subsequent inter- views with other members of the party, which were to serve as a guide in the investigation, and ® copy of gazetteer. Professor Baird selected from his stock of maps such as he thought would best enable the Secretary to trace the progress of the Polaris, including that of Dr. Hayes; Professor Howgate had the special instructions pertaining to Meteorology, while Commodore Reynolds furnished thirty years’ experience as an officer of the navy, TAKING POSSE3SION OF THE TALLAPOOSA. The Tallapoosa, under the command of Licuten- ant David G. McRitchie, was at the wharf, and hav- ing @ spacious cabin, was selected as the best place for the examination.

The maps were un- rolled, the Navy Report full of merks laid on the table, and the Heraup folded in @ convenient manner for ready reference. Secretary Robeson prefaced the work with an explanation of what he desired to get from Captain Captain Tyson will first visit Brooklyn, and then g0 to New London, Conn.

The Irropressible Henry Again Rushes Into Print—Virginia Politics in a New Light—“How Happy Could I Be with Kilther!’—Peace at Any Price for the South. : RicHMOND, Va., June 5, 1873. Hetry A. Wise publishes a four column letter in 8 Virginia paper to-day defining his political posi- tion,. He arraigns both the political parties, but is vety partial towarda the negro. The conserva- tive party proscribes the negro, while the radical party proscribes and enslaves the white man, He favors a programme of peace and principle, and strongly opposes conflict of any kind between whites and blacks, He insists that the United States government, having dostroyed the old State of Virginia and created two new States— East Virginia and West Virginia—is now responsible for the debts of both; that the State government should assume the sovereign right of insurance of life and property toenable the State to meet the interest on her debt and diminish taxation; that the James River and Kanawha Canal should be built by national aid; that railroad bp sara and rings shall be prevented by ponal- ties ; that the rate o/ interest shall not exceed six F cent; that the system of public schools shall be Better Fegulated ; that assessments of property shall be ad valorem ; the State revenue to be more punctu- ally opliected, and that more economy shall be ob- served in the public expenditures. The above les, he says, are those of @ large majority of ople of Virginia, who will combine to elect the best men to office without respect to parties, If their caucuses carry these prineiples into effect, and if the President of the United States will aid in promoting these measures, they will, without regard to the past, give to his administration tor the future a just and generous support. He con- cludes as follows :— “4 care not what intelligent man of integrit; declares himself a candidate on these grounds, will give him my vote for the office of Governor of the State of Virginia. If 1 thought I could succeed tion to both of the present organizations of the State I would declare rAd a oan date for the office of Governor Immediately; but fam with- outa purse and without a press to contend with theitwo already banded to make nominations. I will not incur odium by running of electing the Oe, the other; but if either the conservative or Fepubdlicin convention will abstain trom nomina- ting a candidate o1 its own I will, as an indepen- dent candidate, oppose the nominee of the other. Teare not which abstains or which nominates. If both conventions nominate I will not be a canai- date at all.” NEW HAMPSHIRE, Inauguration of Governor Straw—The New Governor's Message—Financial Condition of the State and Savings Banks’ Statistics. Concorp, June 5, 1873. Governor Straw was iuaugurated and delivered his message to the two houses of the Legislature to-day. Tue document gives a clear exhibit of the adairs of the State :— ‘The total revenne fo the past Total expenses.........6..046 Reduction of the State debt during the year $6,000 “This unusually small reduction of the debt,” the year was.....$421,412 . 415,448 | Governor says, “occurs in consequence ot the re- duction of our State tax one-hali, and the payment of the interest on the municipal war loan made by the Legislature of 1871. Together they had the effect of reducing our net income this year about $432,000, all of which would have gone towards fhe reduction of Tyson. He said the government had fitted out the Polaris at great expense, and as it was uncertain whether she would ever be heard from, it was his duty to ascertain as far as possible the results of the expedition up to the time of the separation of Captain Tyson and bis party from the vessel, what progress was made in the trip northward—in a word, whatever would contribute to the knowledge of the Depart- ment relating to the object for which the Polaris was sent out. BEGINNING THE RECITAL. Captain Tyson was then requested to narrate everything which came under his notice, from the departure of the Polaris from New York to tne time of his separation from her. Captain Tyson is exceedingly reticent. His career has been that of @ sailor, and but little progress was made dur- ing the first hour. After that he became a little more commidnicative, and as he progressed yi in the details of the voyage northward hig the State debt. Our total debt is but a little more than $4,000,000, and it will be nearly thirty-two years before the last State bond matures, so that an average payment ef $125,000 per annum on the principal will cancel this debt at maturity, Ido not consider it desirable todo more than that. I believe every taxpayer in the State will desire to do a8 much.” | The Governor remarks that the prosperity of the savings banks is @ very fair indication of the pros- perity of the business interests of the State. Their showing at this time is as follows :— gregate Ceposits of the sixty-one anks - $28,462,539 98 Ageregate surplus. i; 1,296,242 29 Total asscts of depositors........ ), 758,782 27 These assets have increased during the year about fourteen per cent, being an actual increase belonging to depositors of $4,019,413 79. The num- ber of depositors in these banks has increased during the. year 7,875, the total number at tins time being 94,665, or nearly one-third of the entire population of the State. The educational, reforma- toryfind benevolent institutions of the State ap- pear in a satisiactory condition. The Governor says of the Centennial Exposi- 1 ‘Tne occasion ts one that cannot fail to en- ist the whole American My in its favor. Every State should, and nndoubtedly will, respond in the most enthosiastic manner, and there is every reason to believe that the Exposition will be the largest and finest ever seen, and the most wonder- ful, as an illustration of the progress of the country statement was interesting, particularly to Pro. | during the first century of its existence.” jessor Baird, who drew out the character of the | animals and natural growth in the frigid climate | through which the expedition passed. TYSON TRACING THE NORTAWARD COURSE. | Here the maps were |aid before Tyson, and te | traced, as wel he could, the course of the Polaris beyond the boundaries laid down by the geogra- phers on the mapsextant. The exam‘nation con- tinued until ten minutes after six, wichout having elicited anything of spectal importance. ‘The groundwork for a more thorough examination was gained for the continuation of it to-morrow, and Captain Tyson will be assisted by suggestive | questions based on the general instructions pre- pared by the Smithsonian Institute. Nothing was said respecting the death of Captain Hall or how he became separated from the Polaris, ax the Sec- retary stated in beginning, the rst objeét of the government was to aggregate afl the for which the expedition was sent out, The Secre- tary will endeavor to ascertain ail relating to the and his party from the ship; tn fact, he will, as fac a8 possible, connect this with the history of the expedition. The Message recommends @ iocal option law as the best method of restrammg intemperance. It also recommends @ revision of the State constitu- tion, which has remained untouched, with the ex- ception of one simple amendment, for eighty | years. AN AERIAL AOOIDENT. Serious Fall of a Fireman During the Experiments with a New Fire Lad- der—His Presence of Mind. During the exhibition of the working of an aérial fire ladder in the City Hall Park yesterday evening, and while upwards of two thousand people were present, ap accident occurred which at first threatened tO bave a fatal termination, but subse- quently it appeared that the man who had fallen was not seriously hurt. The occurrence happened ju the following imanner:—A man named beary, of eogine No. &l, engaged in the detail working of the experiment, was near the top of the smailer itadder, about sixty Jeet from the greand with the hose waiting for the streum.

WASHINGTON. Wasurneron, Jane 6, 1873. The Postmaster Gen Vs Decision in Favor of the White Star Line Retain- ing the Mafl Contract. The Postmaster General to-day heard statements and arguments of Messrs. J. H. Sparks and J. 5. Gartner, agents of the White Star steamship tine; Edwards Pierrepont and Chase Abert, counsel for that company; 8. G. Nicholson, agent of the Inman steamship line, and G. Schwab, agent of the Bre- men tine, all in reference to the application of the Inmen Company for the abrogation of the existing contract of tne Post OMce Department with the White Star line for carrying the Saturday European mail. The arguments of the White Star and Inman companies’ representatives presented no points of interest which have not already been fully published, Mr. Schwab said ho did not appear to urge the abrogation of the White Star contract, but merely to present the claims of his ltne for recognition in case a change were to be made. He claimed that his vessels were equal in speed to those of the Inman line, and nearly as fast as the White Star steamers, and that their ca- pability, salimng at the same fixed hour evory Sat- urday, counterbalances the disadvantage of their delivering the matis at Southampton instead of Queenstown. At the conclusion of the arguments Postmaster General Oreswell expressed the opin- fon that it was his duty to take an equitable and not a strictly legal view of the matter in contro- versy, and that it would not be fair to annul the existing contract with the White Star Company on account’ of accidents which human skill and foresight could not wholly prevent, unlessit were shown that the line had been so crippled by them as to be unable to perform the requisite service in future. This had not been done. The only new failure likely to occur being on the 2lst inst., pro- vision jor which was already made; and the highly influential petitions received from New York city in favor of the continuance ef the contract showed that the public did not regard this as an important consideration. The White Star line had been awarded the contract last October, on account of its superior speed and with full knowledge of the number of its vessels, all of which had been provided for. The service, as stipulated, and the losses since sustained would be more than replaced in a short time by the steamships Ger- mantc and Britannic, which are to be larger and faster than any yet launched. In view of all these considerations, the Postmaster General sald he must refuse to abrogate the existing contract with the White Star line, and if its terms were hereaf- ter properly complied with it would continue until the 31st of next December, when it expires by its own limitation, The various contracts for Eu- ropean mail service have been so timed that they will all expire together on that day, and the Post- master General will endeavor to make arrange- ments forthe ensuing year in such manner as to provide four mails per week for Europe from New York city on four separate days, The President Interviewed. There were large numbers of visitors at the Ex- ecutive Mansion this morning, anxloug to inter- view the President betore his departure for Long Branch. Appointment of {mmigration Commis- stoners. Under the recent act of Congress creating a Board of Lmmigratton Commissioners the Secretary ofthe Treasury has made the following appoint- ments:—Dr. John M. Woodworth, J, B. Saunders, J. Frederick Meyers, Charles Celine, J. H. Piper and Helen M. Barnard. The last mentioned is to be assigned to the duty of reporting upon the treatment of women and children on board of emi- grant ships, Dr. Woodworth will exercise a gen- eral supervision of the Atlantic seaboard. Another commissioner will go to San Francisco to investi- | gate the condition of Chinese and Japanese immi- grants, and othérs will be sent to Europe to make inquiries and prepare fyll reports. Release of Santa Rosa. The Department of State is in receipt of informa- tion trom the Consul at Havana that Mr. Santa Rosa, an American citizen who had been im- prisoned in Cuba, has been released and saijed to- day from Havana for New York. The je of the Sierra Ranches. The Secretary of the Interior to-day ordered that the papers in the case of the Sierra Ranches, San Bernardino county, California, Ber- nardo Yorba confirmee, be returned tothe Sur- veyor General of California for a rehearing, after notice to all parties in interest and an opportunity given for cross-examination. The Postal Card Difficulty. The agent sent to Springfield by the Postmaster Geveral reports that no postal cards pave been printed by the Mongan Envelope Company during the past week. They have as yet furnished only 8,000,000 of the 25,000,000 ordered, The Depart- ment settled on the sample card, the character of the paper and inscription included, before the Making of the contract, and therefore its terms were plainly understood. The Postmaster General is determined !f possible to apply a remedy to the present inferior quality of the paper, and to vhis end will appoint some suitable person to inspect the paper before it shall be used in the manufacture of cards, so that the work may be equal to official requirement, Shad Roes. The Commissioner sent here by the State of Michigan to get a quantity of shad with which to stock some of the rivers of that State left to- night for Detruit, having received from Professor Baird over fifty thousand. The same number was also shipped to agents in Virginia to be distributed in the Greenbrier and Kahawha rivers. Ina few weeks they will be shipped by the thousaads to the headwaters of the Western rivers. The hatching thas far has been remarkably successful. Asphaltam and Borax Lands.

Outstanding legal tenders MISS MARY CARPENTER, OF ENGLAND, An Address on Prison Reform Treatment of Criminals, by the Eng- lish Philanthropist, at Dr. Bellows’ Church Last Evenin; A large and very influential audience assembled last evening in All Seuts Church, Fourth avenue, to listen to an address from Miss Carpenter, of Bris- tol, England, on the reformatory system of pris- ‘The chatr was taken by ex-Governor Haines, of New Jersey. Miss Carpenter, in commencing her address, said that the place in which they were assembled was peculiarly fitted for an address onthe subject on which she was about to speak. It was only in lands that had been enlightened by Christianity that the true treatment of prisoners bad been con- sidered. The only prison in the United States she had visited had every appearance of being conducted on humane principles and with a desire to give & pleasurable and humane phase to their incarcera- tion. Yet the Warden of the prison told ier that of the six huhdred prisoners in that prison he believed there would be but few of them who would not go Out with the determination to continue their criminal course of life, That was one prison. Now, what Was the reflection consequent on this? Why, it nad originated the consideration of reforma- tory problems. Among the most snccesstul of the practical reformers waa Captain Maconochie, who was the originator of the mark system. He desired that each prisoner should begin at a very low grade in the penal system and be enabied to rise to a higher grade by his own conduct. Captain Maconochte began frst with the criminals on Norfolk Island, where the very worst of criminals were sent. Ip that effort he was en- $6,234,301 tirely suc Sir, Wal proved upon Captain Maconocnhie’ and = tutroducs the tem, Miss y length. the Croftom syetem ‘whica: Wi this:—At the commencement of a prisoner's fife ho Was put into agljtacy lavor ip @ separate cell, and and the | 7 Only permitted on good beha Guan Of associated labor.

For the last fifteen years Sir Waiter Crofton’s plan of assoolated Iabor on an estate at Lusk »b: convict labor haa been found thoroughly successful. ‘The result of this was that there was no difficulty in fading sraploymens for thege con- victs at the termination of their penal sentences. This system of punishment was founded on the principles of human nature, the Divine gov- ernment and political economy, and was, therelore, well adaptad for its purpose. In land the num- ber of jemale criminals was only about one-third Of the number of men, but it was more didicult to reform convict women than men. sir Walter Crof- , ton had met this dificulty by placing a number of these women, under license, in the care of a neigh- boring nunnery, and this was 4 great suceeas, both in Ireland and England, The Prisoners’ Ain Se cieties of Engiand have been, by act of Paritamen: the supervisors of discharged convicts, and tn: has been also very successful. Misa Carpenter said that she regretted to find that the wardens and oficials of prisons in thé United States were | subject to removal by political changes. Nothin, could be more destructive to vgleon, ipline, and “ she hoped most earnestly that a age in that respect would apeedily take place, All institutions that were intended for reform of javenile delinquents should have the family principle- manifest..in them. The State as such, and the government as suc! could not undertake the proper eat chudren. In England, therefore, to meet this dim- culty, all criminal children were placed under the care of institutions directed by benevelemt peraona, and that had been found very successful. Miss Carpenter said she had seen in New York city vol- untary schools, where It was evident that the chit- dren were ready)to go into active ‘life in (hig great country, and it their education had left the mark of its charitable character upon their countenances, She visited other schools im the city where the paupers.and the crimimals were laced in. ch: of the children, and those chil- ren, it Was evident on their countenan felg their degradation. Miss Carpenter then rred to the very gratifying fact she had met with in the public schools of the city, where she had sar- dd and gratified to see young ladies a, charge of youths and young men, and to be assured by the Superintendents that inno instance had those lady teachers been subject to rudeness = the youths, The lecturer concluded by expressingfier thanks for the courteous and kindly attention she had received during the.delivery of her address, Dr. Bellows, in a few cnneinding remagks, re- ferred to the Walworth murder; to its unusual character, coming from the educated, the cultured clase, and in a class, too, where it was supposed moral restraints were in activity, He said that it was distressing to those who had attached great importance to the resurrection of @ better sentiment during the last few months, but this only showed how strong was the crop of, evil that had been growing during the last twenty years. The only correction was a renéwed ane sentiment, a higher moral tone and the difficulty in the Way of a development of this was much in- tensified by the morbid practice of the press in Fiving with such prominence and minuteness the details of these horrible murders, seductions and.terrible crimes; and writing the narratives, too, in a style oT was prejudicial to the moral sentiments of the readers. A vote of thanks to Miss Carpenter and the.pro- mouncing of the benediction closed the progeed- Ings. THE STOKES CASE. The Decision of the Court of Appeals Not Expected Before the 13th of June.
