@oubt as to the identity of the remains must be regarded as at an end, as the body was fully recognized at Zanzibar. So the story of a useful and eventful life is ended. Another and a happier ending many could have wished for the old and faithful servant. But, atter all, what nobler ending was possible? He died in a good cause, with his harness still upon him; his honored dust is to rest beneath the roof of England’s greatest temple ‘and to mingle with the ashes of her illustrious dead, and the whole civilized world mourns over a hero lost. the Editors—The Family in Albany. ‘The motion of Mr. Lincoln, to bring all the editors ot the New York press to Albany ander the charge of the Sergennt-at-Arms to ‘‘ostiiy,” is really upon its face a more Serious mutter than might be imagined. We @pplaud Mr. Lincoln for his firmness in this flair. That eminent’ but hitherto undiscoy- ered statesman is perfectly right in his posi- tion. He knows, by a fine Albany instinct, that nothing is more improper than for editors to interfere in these national and State affairs. ‘There has been-a rude, hasty opinion, mainly the outcrop of vanity, that editors are re- sponsible beings, with opinions, and anx- ious to make them manifest to the | world. But Lincoln knows better. In his time he hus known editors and has handled them. His gigantic intellect has compasyed | the mysteries of the country press and the subtle but intimate relation between rural public opinion and the corner grocery. We can fancy Lincoln himself, the village sage, astride the greasy counter, surrounded with tapes and molasses and pumpkin pies and { patent medicines, unfolding himself to the postmaster, the country editor and that small but ever present company of unemployed states- men who adorn most of our Western towns. In fact, there is so very little of Lincoln that he cannot endure more than a season-or twoof Albany, and it would not at all surprise us to see him, at the end of the present session most | likely, become a blessing to the human race by Lincoln on Happy NEW Y LIVINGSTONE.

SPAIN. oS Bloody Battle Before Bilbao—Serrano Assaults the Royalists—Hundreds of Men Killed, but No Result. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. MapRID, March 26, 1874. A desperate engagement waa fought yesterday before Bilbao, SERRANO ATTACKS THE ROYALISTS. ‘The republican army under command of Marshal founding his own newspaper or opening his own grocery. The result of his experience is | that Lincoln knows all about the press. He sees behind the scenes. He has discovered | the mysteries of journalism—the editors and | the ‘managing editors.’’ He knows that, atter | all, these masters of public opinion are merely | puppets; that behind the scenes are Van Nort and Green and Foley and Gardner and Have- meyer, and the remainder of our petty tyrants. Each of them owns his editor, and, for all we | know, his “managing editor.” Foley, who is not quite a tyrant, but only waits his time, is the exclusive owner of the HeEraxp, its servants, ministers, attributes and ap- purtenances, and we presume that our, con- temporaries all rest under some equally benign and explicit jurisdiction. If our readers knew the’ trouble thus saved they would envy us. The privilege of sitting at the feet of Gardner and Foley and Van Nort and drinking in wis- dom, free of trouble and cost, is a precious one. Lincoln knows how it is. He has been the source of wisdom in his own way and time. He has ‘‘sent for’ his editor many a time, no doubt, and he knows the exact relations be- tween the New York press and our little oli- garchy. But with this knowledge it seems hard that Lincoln should insist upon summoning the editors to Albany to “‘testify.” Why does he | not send fyr Foley and Van Nort and learn the truth from first sources? As these sages generally spend their time on the Albany trains there would be an economy in that fact. The Sergeant-at-Arms would be sure to find them in Albany, if not to-day, then to-morrow. Why drag the inoffensive, harmless New York innocents from their homes and families? There is the valiant Major Bundy, for in- stance, who never breathed a wicked emotion in his life. Why should he be dragged from his Hvening Mail to the dreadful hotels and more dreadful society of Albany, the perils of the Delavan House and the lobby? There is the philosophical Whitelaw Reid, his face | “sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought’’ and his mind ruminating upon the new building. Why should he be wrenched | from his granite blocks and his Ring } hunts and his sweet moiety morsels? There is the robust and accomplished philosopher, Mr. Dana, with his Barmecide | feast of exposures and his sunlight, which | “shines for all.’’ Is he to be thrown into the | Albany arena like another Polycarp? And | the venerable poet of the Evening Post, the | lusty commander of the Commercial Advertiser, | the solemn chief of the Hvening Express—can | nothing be done to save these gentlemen? Has the Lotos Club, or any other of our na- | tional institutions, no power? Must the ruler of the World be taken like an ordinary | mortal to the Albany tribunal? If Judge Blatchford has not lost his cunning now is his | crowning opportunity. But there is even another question. We can imagine the law ruthless and triumpbant. We can see Dana, Reid, Hastings, Marble, Bryant, Brooks, Croly, Howard and Bundy—all crammed intoa smoking car and bound for Albany. Into the felicities of this meeting we do not dare to penetrate, the flow of soul, the interchange of wit, the outburst of har- | mony and affection which always attend any | assemblage of our Now York journalists. But what is to be done with Mr. Jennings? He is also wanted in Albany. Mr. Jen- nings is an editor and an author. His editorship is not as much cherished in Wash- ington as it should be, while his book on America has not been pressed into an in- ordinate circulation. But still he has rights, and even Mr. Lincoln must protect them. What right has any of our authorities to drag a distinguished English subject to Albany? Has Mr. Lincoln thought of the consequences— a fleet in New York Bay, the city under contri- bution, or another Geneva arbitration, with the fine on our own side, and endless embarrass- ments in every way? We can understand the general joy that would attend Mr. Jennings’ arrival in Albany, for he is a man in whose train all gladness and honor follow. But why incur the dreadfal peril now threatened? Let the press suffer in the persons of its editors behind the scenes, its editors before the scenes, nay, even its ‘managing editors,” to whom we feel like Artemus Ward towards his brothers-in-law, whom he would sacrifice, all, all, “to prosecute the war;” but let us avoid any international complication. Do not let ug run the risk of a war with England on the penalty of an incivility to the Jeunings, Serrano attacked the Carlists at six o'clock in the morning and met with @ stubborn resistance, The battle was kept up allday and was only stopped by the approach of night, when the repub- licans encamped én positions they nad captured from the royalists.

The banks refuse to discount any kind of com- mercial paper, thinking that the refusal will make money tight and break down the high rates of ex- change, The effect produced snows that the action of the banks does not amount to anything, as there is too much currency afloat, and all the shipments | of sugar and molasses can be drawn against the moment the planter sells his produce to the mer- chant, THE MONEY CRISIS STILL MORE INTENSE.

The Grand Charity Matinees Yesterday. The charity matinées at the several theatres yesterday were wonderfully well attended. At no one of them was it possible to crowd in more spectators. The benefits that will accrue to the poverty-stricken are not the only pleasing results from this act; there is a still greater pleasure in the knowledge that our people have not become cloyed with the sweetness of doing good. That the desire to aid in the rescue of the poor from the most abject and squalid poverty is increasing ts proved by the fact of | the difference between the numbers of attendants at the usual weekly matinées and those at the’ special performances yesterday, No theatre has | ever had at an ordinary aiternoon performance such an audience as was contained within each of the five places of amusement in which the charity matinées took place. The receipts at each were, of course, very large, but | no exact computation of them can now be made, much money being represented by tickets whose sale is not yet reported. However, at Nibio’s some idea has been gathered of the probable sum that will be given to the poor as the proceeds of the entertainment — there. ‘This statement will be ound further on. The entertainment at each theatre was admi- rably adapted to draw attendants, even if charity were not an urgent motive. At Booth’s Theatre the programme consisted of Mr. Boucicault’s pretty Irish piay of “Kerry” and Bulwer’s “Lady of Lyons.” in “Kerry” Mr. Boucicault played with all the unction which is so delight- {mi and so peculiar to him in this | character, the extreme faithfulness of the old | Irish servant making it peculiarly appropriate to | this cccasion. in the ‘Lady of Lyons” Mrs, Booth | played admirably and with all ner power. There | | were in all 3,791 persons attendant at this thea- | tre, and, as there are but 1,765 seats, 2,026 charit- | able theatre-goers had to Stand during the per- | formance. Tne Lyceum Theatre was fortunate as its com- petitors, for such the theatres remained even in | the cause of charity, Every bit of space or the beautiful place was tenanted by some person, | standing or seated. There was a peculiar attrac- | Hop here, as well in actors performing as in the | play performed—“Camille.” Miss Clara Morris made her début in the character of Camille, and was supported by such actors us Mr. Frank Mayo the character. There is, however, no space to speak particularly either of her efforts or those of her supporters, The receipts at the Lyceum must be handsome. At the Perec of Music Mme. Aimée and com- pany sang “La Filie de Madame Angot” to a large audience. The effect of such rollicking music and manners Would be at any time to make people joyous, and hence charitable. To use a bull, the | effect came first yesterday, and people were | charitable in anticipation of the music. The entertainment at Niblo’s Garden was of a composite or variety character. The theatre was crowded aimost to suffocation. The receipts here are roughly estimated at about $7,000, | To close the story of a day's theatre-going | for charity, it may be said that the monetary results will be far peyond expectation. ‘'nirty | thousand dollars are now named, but it is possiple | that the receipts will aggregate even more than | that sum. i Musical and Dramatic Notes. “Lohengrin” will be given for the third time at the Academy this evening. The great charity concert, which will take place at the Academy of Music on Saturday night, com- prises the best musical artists in the city, with Lucoa and Kellogg as the principa! stars, The last performance of German opera at the Stadt Theatre, under the admirable direction of Herr Ruilman, took place last evening before an immense audience. The opera was “Der Frei- schtitz,” and as we have had occasion before to speak in enthusiastic terms of the very artistic it is unnecessary here to add to our previous re- | marks, The season closed with the same éclat that | marked its commencement. Mr, Theodore Thomas presided last night at the | second concert of the Wagner Union, at Steinway | Hall. The “Zukunft” school was represented by | the following works :—Vorspiel, ‘Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg,” Introduction and finale, “Tris- tan and Isolde,” “Der Ritt der Walkueren,” Vor- spiel, “Lohengrin,” Bacchanale, ‘“Tannhaeuser,” “Kaiser Marsch.” Through an unaccountable spirit of opposition to the success of the school of Wagner, the immortal heroic symphony of Beet- hoven was placed onthe programme, and it suc- | ceeded, through the magnificent interpretation of Thomas’ orchestra, in destroying on this occasion, the elaborate theories of the musical egotist of the age.

A ees Two More Ballots in the Massachusetts Legislature—Dawes Still Ahead—The Probable Candidate in Case of a Com. promise. A Boston, March 26, 1874. The Senatorial contest in the legislative As- sembly of this Commonwealth has now become the all-absorbing topic of discussion. Ever since the first day's proceedings toward balloting for a suc- cessor to Charles Suuner the excitement has been on the increase, and with the coming of to-day, the results of the past two days’ valloting being indecisive, Many have been the surmises as to the strength of each party aspiring to Senatorial non, ors, This morning opened bright and cheerful in Boston. By ten o'clock crowds of well known politicians, not only of Boston, but from all sections of the State, be seen wending their way toward the State House, aud at the different hotels lobbying and button- holing members of the Legislature was visible to a considerable degree. ‘he ballots of Tuesday and Wednesday gave eacf faction an opportunity to know how every member stood in the contest, and the scenes here to-day have ciearly demonstrated that there is to be a hard fought battle before | either faction will yield or break for a compromise candidate. ‘THE FIRST BALLOT, At twelve o'clock the joint convention 9f both houses of the Legislature again met and was cailed to order by President Loring. The galleries were crowded to their utmost capacity, while in the hallways, lopbies and ante-rooms, an eager as- semblage of anxious politicians patiently awaited the result of the first ballot. The roll being called, it was announced as follows Whole numoer of votes Necessary tor a choice. joar.... BR. Curtis, harles Fi . . 4 There being no choice on the first ballot, it was voted to proceed to asecond. The second ballot was precisely the same as the first, with the ex- ception of achange of one from Hoar to Adams, At this juncture of the proceedings there was much excitement, but when it was tound that both bal- lots were indecisive a deep sigh of regret came from the multitude, It was generally expected that a great change would occur in the total of the Second ballot, The Dawes men were jubilant to see that they were in the ascendency, while the other factions were equally jubilant to know that they were holding vheir own so firmly. Alter this | the Convention adjourned until to-morrow at noon, when they will again endeavor to select some ove of the many candidates, THE GENERAL INTERCHANGE OF VIEWS has since been indulged in at the hotels; there has been a great deal said regarding the supposed presence of Sergeant-at-Arms Ordway, from Washington, together with William Chandler and E. H. Rollins, to participate in this most ex- citing contest. Iam credibly informed, however, that the presence of Ordway and Chandler in Boston on Tuesday was of entirely a private nature; while Mr. Rollins has assured me that he has taken no part whatever in this contest, and has remained a silent spectator through tne newspapers. The administrationists are never- theless strongly represented here in the interest of Dawes and Hoar. To-night there is intense The friends of all the bearriphpt are in council, The Tremont House is the scene of of New York, who seems to be the organizer of the Dawes men, and eulogistic speeches are peing | made upon the merits of this candidate. The other hatels are also the scenes of earnest discus- | sion, The three days’ balloting has clearly dem- onstrated that the Dawes, Hoar and Curtis men are Getermined to stand by their respective candi- dates, The Dawes men seem to be gaining ground; but it looks to be an impossibility to elect their can- didate uuless the Hoar men yield or break; but, should such be the case, the democrats will at once spring to the assistance of N. P. Banks, when, in all probability, it would secure the election for Banks, The general feeling is that if it comes toa | compromise candidate General Banks 1s the man most fitted for the Senatorship. That he is destined to be a_ strong man before the Convention is hourly developing itself among the. democrats, They emphatically state that he would be the most acceptable man to them, and they are now desirous to lead off with Banks, ‘To-morrow’s proceedings at the State House will be more exciting and interesting than those of the past three days, as members from distant sections of the State say they will not go home on Saturday unless an election is secured. This con- test may be looked upon as one to settle the Senatorship not only for the unexpired term of Mr. Sumner, but most conclusively the long term question, and with these ideas the Legislature is | endeavoring to select the best man to fill the seat of the great Senator just deceased. A SUMNER STATUE PROPOSED. Bosron, Mass., March 26, 1874. A majority of the committees on the Sumner Memorial have reported the following, which was adopted :— Resolved, That we recommend that a statue or a monumental structure, to embrace @ statue of Charles Summer, be erected in Boston, » Aminority report suggested the erection of a Sumner School of Art, the land to be donated by the State, but it was thought the large expense it would involve might jeopardize the memorial.

ALBANY, March 26, Ii It was thought the brutwm sulmen of the Assi bly would cause a terribie quaking among the New York editors who have thought fit to criticise the Railroad Committee. Great anxiety was felt in consequence to see the papers from the metropo- lis. The Speaker, apprehending that the mem- |. bers, who are lke aschool of boys tn many re- spects, might disregard the business on hand to see what the New York journals had to say, gave orders to have no papers brought by the pages into the Assembly Chamber. The republican organ which Mr, Lincoln so savagely denounced did not fulfil the general expectation, and was declared on all sides to have taken water. There was no need for this. The Committee of Investigation is an empty jarce, No direct charges of having taken money from Squires or Vanderbilt have beeu made against the Railroad Committee, and, pray, what is there to investigate? Enough to know that tne Railroad Committee has shown flagrant partiality to two great monopolies, and out of the mouth of two of its own members is convicted of playing falsely with the pubite, Said Lincoln and said Weed, the two principal members, for the rest are mere houentities, “We were laboring to harmonize the different plans, so as to give a railroad for the east side, the west side and the centre of the city.”” This result they declare they have achieved, and the three rail- roads they recommend to the people of New York are:—For the west side, the Greenwich Street Elevated Railroad (reported to have been recentiy purchased by Vanderbitt) ; for the centre, Vander- bilt’s Fourth avenue, and for the east side, Squires’ Third avenue. This is the great achieve- ment of nearly three months’ deliberation, When the committee has only such a showing to put jorth suspicion will attach’ and cling to it forever, in spite of Saitpetre Alvord, and all the committees of investigation that were ever formed. However, as the Committee of In- vestigation may need some material to keep it going. suppose they call Mr. Squires, of the Third Avenue Ratlroad, and Mr. Squires’ brother-in-law. These gentlemen were hardiy up to Albany ior mere amusement this winter. They are said to be intelligent, and for the sake of giving the com- mittee something to start upon, I throw out this suggestion. INDIGNANT VIRTUE IN THE SENATE. The Senate Railroad Committee has caught a spasm of indignant virtue from that of the Assem- It reported favorably the Broadway Under- ground Railroad last week, which was to throw an obligation of $5,000,000 on the city of New York, | A biority report was given by Mr. Tobey at the | time, and the Chairman, Mr, Seikreg, rose to-day to | A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. | The unfortunate organ in New York, no longer able to keep these obstreperous republicans in the traces, came in for some very hard knocks, and then Mr. Selkreg proceeded to pay bis attentions to Mr. Tovey, He charged that the Senator from the Sixteenth (Mr. Tovey), at the solicitation of the friends of tae schemes ior rapid transit 12 New York, which had been denounced unmeasurably by the New York Times, attended a regular meeting of the Railroad Committee on the 19th of March, and that he voted for the Fourth Avenue Rapid Transit bill; and iurther, that the Senator from the Six- teenth voted for the Beach Pneumatic. bill, whtch bonds the city of New York. He said Mr. Tobey | had told him im private conversation that he (Mr. | Tobey) was willing to report the bill if he (Mr. Selkreg) was. At the meeting on the 19th of March every member of the committee objected to the provision providing for guaranteeing bunds by the city 0: New York, In conciusion he said :— “I charge still further, that at that meeting of the Raiirvad Committee no intimation was given to | mysell, or to any other member ol the committee in my presence, that a minority report was to be | presenied, and the record of the clerk of the com- | mittee shows that no vote againsé the reporting of that bill was made on that occasion, A vote was taken, and no man answered in the negative.” Of course Mr. Tobey spoke in reply and said he | knew nothing about reporting the Pneumatic Rail- | road with the bonding clause in, but the incident | is a sample of the intricacies of legislation.

By a bill passed in the Senate to-day the name of the Sixpenny Savings Bank of New York is changed to the City Savings Bank of New York. DISCUSSING THE SUPPLY BILL. | ‘The Assembly was taken up all day with the | discussion o1 the Supply bill. Most of the items so lar read were for smailamounts, and oniy a few | | gave rise to any debate. Mr. Eastman, from the | | Committee on ‘Cities, offered an amenument | Insert m_ the bili $1,139 forthe | SMrvices of Attorney General Barlow on the investi- | gation into the Street Cleaning Bureau. The amount was deemed twice too much ; and Mr. Daly insisted, contrary to the amendment, that the | State, in place of the city, should pay it. The mo- | tion to make the State pay was voted down, and | the question was still pending when the House ad- jourped, At the evening session the amount was | reduced to $639. THE VULTURE SWARM AT THE CAPITOL. Lobbyists, pretended newspaper people and job- | bers generally have infested the foor ot the As- | sembly for several weeks past. The cheek of these | sellows is unbounded. They penetrate into every | corner of the chamber and occupy the members? | seats with the coolest assurance, fore the open- ing of proceedings this morning & swarm of these | evil pests occupied the floor, for the Sup- ply bill was @ special order for the | day. A peremptory order from the Speaker | to the doorkeeper was issmed before the business began to exclude all but those strictly entitled to the privileges of the floor. The effect was | to relieve the atmosphere, and transfer the crowd | from.the floor to the gallery. The number of idie | hangers-on who try to get at aslice of the public cake is perfectly prodigious. | CROTON WATER, DEPARTMBNT. A bill to form a Croton Water Dojartment was | introduced to-day by Mr. Wagstaff, ‘providing for & | board of three persons, to be nominated by the | Mayor, with the consent of the Foard of Alder~ men, who shall hold office for five years, at a salary eacn of $5,000 ayear. The Department of Public Works is required to hand over wil_the property of | the corporation belonging to the Croton Board to the custody of tho three commissioners to be ap- Pointed under the act. ‘OF LOCAL INTRREST. | In the Senate Mr. Fox introduced three bilis of | local interest in New York; the first providing that | the Founding Asylum of the Sisters ot Charity | shall receive thirty-eignt cants per day for eac foundiing maintained by them; aiso, that the Sisters of Charity tm charge of said hospital may build houses on the lots adjoining their present | asylum on Third avenue, Sixty-eighth and Sixty- ninth streets, The second, which ts relative to in- \ spectors and poll clerks, ‘provides that at each annual election INSPECTORS OF FLECTION aball be voted (qr, UgOp a separate ballot.

The third provides for giving the Common Council power Co distribute the excise money among the different charitable tustitutiona of New York. * THE CANALS. The Assembly discussed this evening, in Com. ittee of the Whole, the bili abolishing the office of anal Superintandent and enlarging the powera of the Canal Commissioners. Lt excited considerabie debate, a# the subject ts one of vast interest to the rural djatriets, and the oMice, for time out of mind, has been the biggest plum in the patronage of either party. Mr. Sloun made along and statis tical address in javor of the bill, and Mr. Hough- ton, in & speech of considerable force, put the case 1n a nutshell by declaring that too much divided responsibility Was the cause of all the corruption and mismanagement of the canals. He was tn fa- vor of the bill because it concentrated reaponsibil~ ity and power in one quarter, though be dd Op- Posed the filth amendment because it took away the power of electing their oMicers from the people. Messrs. Beebe and Alvord spoke also, and the bulk Was progressed. THE WILLIAMSBURG FERRIES. The Committee on Commerce and Navigation have decided to render an adverse report on the bill recucing the fares on the Williamsburg ferries. The joint Committee on Railroads had a meeting to hear arguments on tne bill reducing the fare om the Fourth avenue street car railroad from six centto ilve cents, and on the Third avenue, from City Hall to Harlem, from six cents to five centa, Chauncey Depew spoke against the bills, and re- quested further time for more extended argument STEAM NAVIGATION ON THE GANALS. The House Canal Committee have agreed to re- port the bill giving $35,000 to Mr. Baxter at $15,000 to Mr. Dobbin, as soon as they put—the first named seven and the last named three of. their steamboats on the cauals.
