Reeves presided. A special report, submitted by Secretary James M. Swank, stated that the members o! the Iron and Steel In- stitute of Great Britain will postpone their visit to this country until 1876, when the collection of | American iron ores, fuel &c., in the Centennial Ex- position will afford them a better opportunity of comparison with English ores, &c. The act of 1872 reducing duties tep per cent was substantially a free trade victory, although not intended as such by many who voted for it. Its effect has been to reduce the revenue of the government about $15,000,000, while it has probably not reducea the cost to consumers of any imported goods, cer- tainly of iron and steel, as the high prices of the last two years abundantly attest, The money | loss to the government by this reduction on du- ties was gained by somebody, and it the consum- ers did not get it foreign manufacturers must have added it to their other | egos ‘The plain duty of Congress is to repeal the law and thus place the duties where they were prior to its passage. This jon would serve the double purpose ot increas- ing the revenues and protecting American work- ingmen against the grave danger of a continued reduction of wages. The effect of the panic on the iron trade has been very disastrous. In the tron | trade January Was @ very dull month in every | branch of the iron business, and February opens | with no brighter promise. At the end of almost | Dve months o! pante the general lron trade of the | country is very littie nearer to a condition of health and prosperity than at the beginning. EDWARD K.

Senator Carpenter Determined to Push His Louisiana Bill—Statesmen More Than Ever Muddled Over the Question. Senator Carpenter states that, owing to his hay- ing been indisposea for a few days past, he has not been able to flnish his bill, which he gave notice on Friday last he would introduce, providing for a new election in Louisiana. He will, however, com- plete t¢ to-night and introduce it to-morrow, though strong efforts have been made. by leading Senators to prevail on fim to desisc from so doing. But he seems to feel it his duty to offer the bill tn the interests of the good standing and (uture wel- fare of the republican party, which he regards as dangerously assailed by the existing state of affairs in Louisiana, and if nov corrected by the strong hand and spirit of the law he cannot tell where they mignt lead, possibly to open insurrection, if not civil war. it was beheved that his bil had been sent to sicep the sicep of death; but his determination to go through with the programme he has foreshacowed is iustrative of tne will and fearlessness of the man, and much disappointment wil be felt by | Senator Morton and his friends at thia persistency, in view of the expressed wishes and advice of so | many of his brother Senators, The array of the forces in this embittered and engrossing contest may be Individualized as presenting Warmoth, Sheridan, McEnery, McMullan, Marr and Janin on one side, while opposed are General Grant, Col- lector Casey, the New York bondholders of Louisl- ana securit. Senator Carpenter, Pinchback and Colonel Carter. Pinchback at first was on the side of the Grant forces, but has been won over to the Warmoth coalition, while Senators Morton and West have stood out consistently from the first asthe unswerving advocates and champions of the administration, even when the President wavered, Politics never made stranger bedfellows than in this perplexing case, and, stranger still, they have changed beds and fallen in strange places. What the next dénouvement will be, polit- teal science cannot foretell, but it is simply in their own hanas to shift at will according as ex- pediency or impulse may dictate. Increasing Sentiment in Favor of Let- ting Louisiana Manage Her Own Affairs Through a New Election. The teeling in the Senate in favor of anew election in Louisiana is growing stronger ana more pronounced, The exhaustive discussion by Senator Carpenter of the Louisiana case has had a very appreciable effect upon the minds of many Senators heretofore undecided in their views on this vexed question, The personal and side issues are disappearing and dropping out of the question, In view of the grave aspects presented for consideration, involv- ing questions that not only seriously affect the peace and prosperity of agreat State, but the in- tegrity of our republican institutions, the Sena- torial mind seems to have reached the conclusion that the duties of the hour, the premises consid- ered, rise far above any partisan obligation or in- terest, It is understood trom reliable sources that more than one Senator, lately opposed to an elec- tion, now favors remitting the question of State government for solution to the people of Louisi- ana, The powerlul speech of Senator Morton in favor of the Kellogg government temporarily held in abeyance the latent purpose in favor of a new election; but a reaction has evidently begun in Congress in opposition to Mr. Morton's views, | and the probavilities now are that a/} be ordered, even with- active influence of the Executive. some ground to suppose that the Indiana Senator would not be sorry if he were relieved of the responsibility and opprobrium arising from his bold championship of the Louisiana monstrosity; at least he is supposed to be unwill- ing to assume any additional prominence in the matter. The anomalous position taken by Senator Frelinghuysen is be- lieved to have contemplated a somewhat | similar result, to be accomplished by leaving the Louisiana case in the hands of the Executive, thus forcing him to relieve Congress from any accounta- bility tor his previous questionable action. It re- mains to be seen whether the “ilero of Appomat- tox” is willing to hold this position. McEnery with Ground for Chailenge Against Senator Morton. Governor John McEnery, of Louisiana, it is debate, alleging that he was an assassin and mur- tion of the same; otherwise McEnery, in view of Senator Morron’s physical disability, will feel com- pelied, through a card to the public, to detend | himself, and he intimates that in such an event he will not spare feelings nor avoid damaging person- alities against the Senator from Indiana, Defeat of the Amendment to the Bank- ruptcy Bill in the Senate—The Pro- posed Measure Avly Advocated. In the Senate Mr, Sherman called up the bill, re- | ported from the Finance Committee yesterday, to equalize the national bank note circulation, with which Senator Morton stated he was uot satisfied, | in that, solar as a bill to secure equalization, it was a delusion. He discussed the necessities of the country now as to circulation, and said that, inasmuch as they required $40,000,000 in 1870, more than $60,000,000 would now be required, and hence the bill was not satisfactory, as what it contem- plated to provide would fall short of that. Senator Sherman responded that the bill had been pre- pared in accordance with the recommendations of the Comptroller of the Currency and was approved by most of the Representatives of the States who were to be affected by it, so far ag he had been able to learn from consultation with them. Pending the discussion, the morning hour having expired, the bill went over. Senator Edmunds then moved the resump- tion of unfinished business, which was the pending question on the amendment to the Bankruptcy bill offered by Senator Ogiesby, to the effect that the fatiure of the payment of commercial obliga- | tions within forty days alter falling due shouid not constitute evidence of bankruptcy. Quite a lively debate ensued on this clause, Senators Logan, Thurman, Conkling, Edmunds, Frelinghuysen and Oglesby participating. The lawyers of the Senate handled the question with the great- est comprehensiveness, and their pleadings were fully commensurate with the great im- portance and wide reaching application of pill, which has ail the evidences of complete preparation, Logan attacked the principles of the Bankrupt law, and said that in them was not found the theory of honesty and , justice as between man and man, and pleaded in favor of small traders, who, he said, should not be vrought into a bankrupt court. Thurman ably vindicated our system of bankrupt Jaw, asserting that the bill, as prepared by the commhitree, was the most liberal ever proposed to any commercial pecple in the world, and the only criticism it was subject to was that it was too lenient. Logan having twitted hint with working as an old- fashioned democrat conjointly with a radical re- publican in advocacy of the involuntary clause, he defended the democratic party and said that, under the act of 1841, for which it was responsible, there occurred but one case of invol- untary bankruptcy, and he retorted on Logan having, as an old-fashioned democrat, worked with @ new-fashioned federalist in other legisia- explained by Senator Edmunds, and Senator ‘Thurman, usnaily calm and collected, yet sincere, Worked up jnto an WmReagioned renudiation of the | HURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET. statements of Morrill, of Maine, because of & comparison which he made of our times, com- mercially, with those of Henry VITL, which he characterized 4s barbarous, 0 far ag the puntsh- ment for debt was concerned. At the close of the debate Senator Ogicsby made a strong appeal for his amendment, and calling the yeas und nays on the vote it was lost, and the Senate adjourned. Buncombe in the House Over the Army Appropriation Bill—A Lively Personal Skirmish, The Army Appropriation bill came up again in the House to-day. Though a great amount of mere buncombe discussion was indulged tn, very fair progress was made upon it, So farin the interest of economy, not a single proposition in Opposition to the committee's report has been engrafted upon it, In the debate of yesterday the most exciting feature was the per sonal Lilt between Wheeler (who has charge of the bill) and Hawley, of Connecticut, The exciting event of to-day was the extremely bitter exchange of compliments between Hoar and Holman, Mol- man offered an amendment to the bill restricting the government from paying for the passage of United States troops over any railroad that had received grants of lands from the United States government, This amendment was simply a reit- eration of an act passed in the Thirty-second Con- gress, and which had become a dead letter; but it seems to have roused the ire of Moar, and hence the fight. The resolution, after some sight amend- ment, was passed, The White Hiephant Alaska Troubling the Congressional © clence=Project for Founding in the Arctic Peninsula a Penat Colony. The present Congress will, in all probability, do something wiih the white elephant Alaska, pur- chased by Secrotary Seward in an after-dinner 1m- pulse and sanctioned by Congress simply trom a desire notto offend oar good friend the Emperor of Russia. Dissatisfaction is being expressed in many quarters at the maniiest absurdity of the present state of aifairsin that Territory, It fs al- legea that if the country is worth holding it ought in sore manner to have a civil government ex- tending over it, As it stands now, a private com- pany of fur traders are the absolute monarchs over the natives and whatever other residents there may be. There is no other law but the will or the whims of the agents of this fur company, and of course where there is no restraint on those in charge there must be at times great outrages committed. As things are at present it appears as if $7,000,000 lad been patd trom the public treasury to give a principality to a few fur traders, out of which they could make fortunes, 1t will be Proposed either to organize it as a Territory, and to give to tt the full number of federal ofticers, or to attach it to Washington Territory as a county thereof, making it a separate judicial district, ada- ing another federal judge to Washington Territory for that purpose, or else erecting it, as proposed inthe California Legislature, into a penal colony for convicts sentenced to long terms of imprison- ment. This last plan seems to meet with some favor. Unless the reports of the discovery of gold Should prove trae the Territory will never attract immigration, it is thought therefore that the only Way to put it to any praciical use is to make it a place for the confinement of criminals, especially those of the Pacific Coast, who could be conveyed there at put small expense. General Cushing aed Mission. Caleb Cushing, Minister to Spain, will leave here on Monday or Tuesday next tor Newburyport, Mass. The friends of Mr. Cushing at Newbury- port have addressed a letter extending to him the honor of @ public dinner, Mr. Cushing will not determine upon the day until after his arrival at Newburyport, where he expects to spend a week with his old friends, Then, after visiting Boston and Providence, he will return to New York, where he will embark for Europe. He has not yet deter- mined upon the time of bis departure, a8 he unti- cipates no dificulty im securing suitable accom- modations for a passage across the Atlantic at this season, Further Abuses of the “inereased Re- sponsibility” Kund, as Discovered by the Committee on Appropriations. The House Committee on Appropriations this morning heard the Chief of the Warrant and Ap- pointment bureauyin reference to the distribution | of money appropriated by Congress for the grant. ing of extra compensation to clerks holding posi- tions of unusual responsibility. The committee, as stated in these aespatches some weeks ago, discovered that this fund, instead of being applied to the purposes contemplated in the bill, was divided up among a few favorite clerks at the head of illegal bureaus in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury and instituted for their accommodation, All these bu- | reaus are encroachments upon the duties of branches of the Treasury Department regularly established by law. The sum of money thus ap- propriated was originally urged from Congress by the then Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Boutwell, who led the committees to believe that it was actually designed for the better compensation of | clerks of especial skill and peculiar merit and ex- perience, Last year the abuse of this tund was called to the attention of Congress and it was stricken out, but was subsequently restored on the urgent solicitation of Mr. Boutwell. The examina. tion before the committee to-day not only veriiled ail the charges of misapplication of this fund, but that it went ina majority of instances to clerks filling very unimportant positious and of no re- sponsibility whatever. Secretary Richardson, it 18 said, Will recommend no further appropriations for the compensation of this kind of increased respon- sivility. CHARTERING FOR JERSEY CITY, What the Peopie Have To Say to the Legisintors About It. Ameeting of influential citizens of Jersey City, irrespective of political party, was held last even- ing tn Taylor’s Hotel to take into consideration the bills introduced by Senator McPherson aud Mr. the Spanish | around the outer wooden case, which was lifted Washburn, as well as*to trame such amendments as the present deplorable condition of the city de- mands, Both political parties were about equally represented, Andrew Clerk was chairman and Mr. Lyon secretary.

Garretson, Henry Hopper, Charles Murray, Heury Phelps, Thomas Negus, Washington Edge and James McLaughlin, Mr. Gregory presented to the Secretary, and asked to have read, a printed copy o1 the charter amend- ments introduced by Mr. Washburn. He said that the bill was drawn up, under the direction of As- semblymen Washburn, Coombs and Carscallen, by Mr. Lewis, City Attorney, but somehow it fell into the hands of @ meddiesome and intrusive editor of the city, Who so altered it that the fatuer | would not know his own child, The Secretary then | read the bill, and, alter he tad concluded, many of the sectious were discussed. The meeting last | ning Was the inauguration of a mo ent for formation of a new party, as botn the demo- | cratic and republican administrations of Jersey City have proved rotten to the core. PROBABLE MATRICIDE. Mary Snilivan, aged forty-five, of No. 48 Roose- velt street, Was stabbed by her son Pairick last night in their residence and dangerously wounded.

Giumer and Mr, Frederick Graves, the first being the late medical attendant of the twins and the latter gentlemen the agents and lawyers of their families, A VISIT TO MRS. ENG. After a private consultation as to the nature of | their mission, the visiting medical gentiemen were promised every facility on the part of the committee of reception, and it was agreed that on the following day (Sunday) they should be es- corted to the home of Mrs. Eng Bunker, where the lute twins were. temporarily interred. In accordance with this programme about eleven o'clock the next day the commission, attended by the committee, drove to the residence of Mrs. Eng, which 1s situated some four miles from Mount Airy, in asouthwesterly direction, On the way they | passed the residence of Coang’s family, which is | only three miles dis‘ant, and soon afterwards they | halted at the comfortable log structure of Mrs. Eng. ‘The news Of the arrival of the commission having spread with almost electric speed, a large number of people from the surrounding country came Pouring in on horseback and in buggies, and soon quite a crowd were assembled, all of them anxious and interested spectators of the scenes they were about to witness, A CONSULTATION WITH THE WIDOWS. The members of the commission were then for- maily introduced to the widows (who have been pre- viously described in the HERALD) of the late twins, both of them impressiig the commission as very proper, dignified and respectable women, Ina brief interview which then took place, and which was Participated in only by the widows, the commis- sion and the lawyers and medical attendant of the famjlies, the members of the commission deli- cately and deferentially set forth the object of | their visit and urged the importance to science of an examination of the bodies, AN AUTOPSY CONSENTED TO. After a brief discussion, during which both the ladies evinced considerable feeling, they consented to the propositions of the commission, on the condition and with the distinct under- stanning that the bodies should . not be | injuriously mutilated, This the commission agreed to in a few moments. Afterwards they | descended to the cellar where the bodies were in- | terred, This was found to bea dark but some- What spacious apartment, the floor of which was | the naked earth, the soil above the substrata of rock being of a porous and mouldy nature. Accompanying the commission was a tinner | to open the case in which the bodies had been placed, The scene now was quite a weird and sol- emn one. The temporary sepulchre was reached by northwestern door from asotier basement apartment, and when the com- mission descended the crowd of neigh. | bors thronged in and stood silently | around the improvised tomb of the twins. The | darkness being intense, pine wood knots were | then lighted in one corner, the flickering glare of | which cast ghostly shadows of the spectators | athwart the wooden ceiling and along the roughiy buut granite walls of the room. OPENING THE TOMB. In the midst of a deep silence, and witn great solemnity, the earth was then removed. from | from its position and conveyed to the apartment | without. Here the outside case was then taken | off, the charcoal removed and the tin case pre- | sented itself to the view. Proceeding in | order, the tinner then opened the latter and the inside comin was exposed. With great care this was then carried to one of | the rooms of the house up stairs where a full and excellent light was obtained, and after being placed in a proper position the cover was taken | off, All the members of the commission and sey" | eral others present bent eagerly over the coffin, the first sensation they experienced being a cadav- eric odor, which, however, was not at all repul, sive, A white gauze muslin covering being drawn off, the FACRS OF THE DEAD TWINS WERE EXPOSE! The features of Chang were partially discolored, those of Eng being natural. Both the bodies were | habited m neat black suits, the cofin was | nicely lined with muslin, and, from the | indications so far, they seemed to be in @ very good state of preservation, Both the widows then came into the room, each going to the side of the coffin upon which | lay the remains of her husband; and with a | mournful sadness that was very touching they | took a final tarewell and let them to the doctors- | This last tribute elicited from those present ex+ pressions of respect and sympathy for the sorrow- ing ladies. j A PARTIAL EXAMINATION, The members of the commission, assisted by those present, then disrobed the bodies and a par- | tial examination was made, no operation being | periormed, and the result of this was followed by a medical consultation. From what I could glean | is was found the bodies, though very well pre- | served so far, would in a few days be! in a state of decomposition, and that the | surgical operation, if performed now, might en- | danger the ultimate preservation of the now defunct natural curiosity, @ consequence which | both the commission and the families were anxious | to avoid, It was further decided tnat the facilities for an autopsy were sO meagre and iusuficient that it would not be wise to attempt it on the present occasion, and that, besides the | present examination and efforts to obtain good | photographic views of the ligament and bodies, | the operations of the commi!ssion would be limited toa partial embaimment to insure che preserva- tion of the bodies, A number of efforts to obtain photographic views were then made, resulting suc- cessfully in one instance only. Alter which the partial embalmment was performed, and the bodies | were once more covered in the coffin, THE BODIES TO COMB TO PHILADELPHIA, While the photographic artists were busily en- gaged with their instruments trying to obtain uegatives of the dead twins the commission had another interview with the widows, when a regu- | | lar agreement, the nature of which was not divulged, was duly signed by both parties, The commission at that time repre- | sented the present impossibility of making the | / desired examination, the ladies, alter some per- suasion, consenting to the removal of the podies | to the College of Physicians at Philadelphia, Soon after this the coffin was again securely fastened, | replaced in the tin case, soldered air tight and | placed in @ wagon for transportation to Mount | Airy.

THE FRENCH COOKS’ BALL. That art, books and revolutions owe their origia,, not to the heart or brain, but to the ssomach, was’ | fully demonstrated last night at the ball given at Irving Hall under the auspices of the French Cooks’ Benevolent Society; and a very benevolent and a very hearty atair it was from beginning to end. It is questionable, indeed, whetner any event of the season, musical, terpsichoream or po~ Utical, has attracted such an eager and apprecta- tive assemblage ; for, after all, the good, old Dame Nature has claims somewhat irresistible m-thelt way. It may, in tact, be asserted ag a truigm that While the gallant Jona Gul: can curn out a eplen- did dish of roast beef, there's no denying it, as & charming tickler of the palate the Frenchman te king. Tobe sure the programme of dancing last night attracted many young ladies and gentiemem who had been spoiling for Want of tun; but it may be agserted without fear of contradiction that the supper—weil it may as well be plainly told at once—that at midnight Irving Hall was crowded to its luest capacity. But let us proceed to the great feature. The supper was of a style which ia only seen once a year, and that js xt this ball. Decidedly the French are the only cooks in the world. Looking from the head of tue supper table one looked down. upon ap array of dishes which would have made the mouth of Lucullus himseli water, The sigit to ab epicure was simply magnificent, and only those who really appreciate What good eating i4 could enjoy the sight, There were three tables, rauning the whole length of the room, and furnishing room for some 600 persons. Every turee feet tacre was one of those wondrous pifces monties, Which made somebody say, we don’t remember who, that it took more genius to be @ successiuk cook than a triumphant general. One, at the end of the principal table and made by the Presi- dent of the society, M, Manduit, represented a full grown bear, with'skin on and climbing a tree. Around were roosters arrayed 1m all their fuss and feathers, But, alas! for the illusion, all this was dead. Upon removing the skin one saw the bear | Toasted whole in the most approved style, larded and ornamented with those small delights of epicures known as trailes. Removing the !eathers of the roosters one sound them fully cooked aud that most succulently. Another dish was a rep- resentation of the lamous yacht Henrietta, doue in sugar, every sail periect, from the fying jib to the matntopsail, all marked out most Tepes even to the men. Much of the culinary ski had been javisned upon the fish, which had been prcunred in all manner of ways never dreamed of before. And yet, fine ag all this was to lvok upon, the effect was still more pleasant when it came to tue organ of taste, though any true gourmet could not but feel some sense ol regret at having te demolish these elaborately constructed dishes. It wouid be agreeable to add that alter supper dancing was resumed with great spirit, Guided, however, by a spirit of tr itis but just to stare that a lengthened interval took place betweem the time the tempting pieces were brought to eriefand the period when the lamenting Terpst- chore stood waiting for a renewal of festivines. The fact is that the vocabulary fails to supply ® qualifying word for the excellence of the supper, but at all events, when the sound of admiration: haa died away, the festivities were resumed Witm great ardor, Altogether the ball was a great bene- lit to all concerned.
