The Chancellor's Case Against the Ex- Diplomat. According to the Tagespresse of Vienna, of May 6, the true cause of the hostility between Prince Bis- ‘Marck and Herr von Arnim is that the latter foiled ‘the Prince's plans for producing another war be- tween Germany and France. ‘It is not very long since,” gays the above named paper, “that the idea was entertained at Berlin of getting up another French war. The English and Russian diplomatists repeatedly warned France of the danger which was threatening her, und advised ‘that she should proceed with the greatest modera- tion, France, on her side, did ail she could to de- rive Prince Bismarck of every pretext for a war; Bae her efforts would have beeu fruitless if Count ‘yon Arnim had not’exerted all his influence at the Court of Berlin to counteract the hostile designs of the Chancellor, Herr von Arnim triumphed, and the fliess of the Emperor of Germany con- ‘tributed to the success of his efforts.” SPAIN.

Rev. Dr. Thomas De Witt. This patriarchal clergyman died at noon yester- day at nis residence in Ninth street, after a sovere attack ofpneumonia. His confinement to his bed was of short duration, but when he laid down at frat it was evident to bis family and attendants that his constitution, naturally of a marvellous strength, was deprived by age of power to resist the disease. Dr. De Witt came of an old Dutch fam!ly that settled in Ulster county at least five generations before his birth. De Witt Clinton was a member of the family through his mother, and was the cousin of the subject of this obituary notice. The Reverend Doctor was born in Kingston, in thas county, September 13, 1791, and was, cor-equently, eighty-three years of age. Me receive. ts early education in the Kingston Academy, which he left in 1806 to enter Union College, He spent only two years in the latter institution, having graduated from it in 1808, He was then not quite seventeen | ence for the ministry. He did not, however, begin Special studies with a view to preach the Gospel until two years later, in 1810, At that time he en- tered the first class of the Theological Seminary at New Brunswick, N, J. Having graduated thence in 1812 he was imme- dlately licensed by the New Brunswick Classis, and settled in November of the same year as pas- | Dutchess county, N. Y. a digression may be made here to say that the Rev. Dr. Irenwus Prime was born in Hopewell, in the same month in which Dr. De Witt settled there. This fact simply illustrates what would otherwise be sald somewhat superfu- ously, that Dr. De Witt has seen the progress from the cradle of many men who lived, distinguished by the regard of the people, and died in the sanc- tty of old age, though many years younger than himself, Dr. De Witt remained at Hopewell for fifteen years, from 1812 until 1827, and throughout that | period retatned and perfected tne respect and love which he won at his outset, not only from his | parishioners, but all the people of tne village, While he remained there a maiden sister, who also was highly regarded in Hopewell, lived with him. Ina fragmentary stretch of his career, which he wrote some time ago, at the earnest solicitation of his family for their own information, he refers | with great pathos to the qualities of that lady. She was the head of his (Dr. De Witt’s) house- bold until he married Miss Ann Eliza Wester- man, of this city, in 1826, It was this alliance that determined him to move to this city, ‘and in 1827 he accepted a call from the Collegiate Dutch Reformed church, now Situated in Lafayette place, and was installed as one of its ministers. He was constant to his ministry at this church for forty-seven yeara, Dr, De Witt was successful as a preacher through- out his career. He fs said to have been brilliant in his earlier years, end when he was get- ting old he acquired a strong, refined manner, that always mirrored thought, His earnestness) when in the pulpit was remarkable, and he always gave to his listeners strong, manly thoughts, expressed in lucid language. Dr. De Witt's scholarship was extraordixary. With tne classics he was unusually /amiliar, and he had an acquaintance with the modern languages. Besides, he was a student o! modern science. For several years he was the President of the Ne’ York Historical Society, and for many more its Vice President, He finally had to decline re-elec- tion to the latter office. He interested himself greatly in the history of our State, as well as that of the nation, and read a number of essays before the Historical Society. Dr. De Witt was also inter- ested in the working of associations for the spread of Christian doctrine, such as the American Bible and Tract societies, and was a member of the ColonizationsSociety. In these several enterprises he always found subjects to labor upon in the in- tervals of release trom reguiar church duty. The domestic life of Dr. De Witt was very happy throughout its term. It lasted for forty-six years, his wite’s death having preceded his own only a few monsbs. He had eight children, of whom two daughters now survive. One is the wife of Mr. Morris K. Jesup, the wellknown bankers of tnis city, The other is married to Theodore Cuyler, of Philadelphia, There occurred just previous to Dr. De Witt’s death an incidéwt that showed nis immense vital- ity. He was extremely weak on Sunday and his death was momentarily expected. He rallied, however, and slept well through the night. Yes. terday morning, feeling strong, ne left his bed and sat up for a time reading the newspapers. He had laid down again but a short time when he died in pertect peacefulness. There is no opportunity to extract @ moral from the deceased clergyman’s life. It was too calm and conservative for such a thing. His was the career of man who, having to do certain things, does them calmly, earnestly and with strength without flourish, Dr. De Witt was modest, even timid, outside of the pulpit; but in it his faith and earnestness kept him in strength.

The Senate Currency Bill Before the House Committee, THE GENEVA AWARD. The Arkansas Question in the Republi- can Senatorial Caucus, DAY OF ADJOURNMENT AGREED UPON, WASHINGTON, May 18, 1874, The Senate Currency Bill in the House— No Prospect of Its Becoming a Law. The Senate Currency bill, having been referred tothe House Banking ani Currency Committee, ‘Will be considered Wednesday, and members of the Committee say it will be amonded so as to put it in the same form as reported to the Senate by the Finance Committee. The sentiment of the House ig against its passage, and whether amended to suit the views of tne inflationists or not, has now no prospect of becoming a law. Mr. Kasson will press a vote on the ‘bill now before the House to redistribute the currency, and if that fails it is not likely any further attempt will be made this ses- sion to tinker the finances of the country. General Butler’s Bill for the Distribu- tion of the Geneva Award—The Claims of the Insurance Companies, The bill reported from the Judiciary Committee by General Butler for the distribution of the Gelleva award, purporting to be an amendment to @ Senate bill, is practically the original bill intro- duced by Butler, with amendments made in com- mittee, These amendments are as follows :—In the firat section the committee strike out the proviso that the amount paid to any mutual insurance company for losses so sustained shall be appor- tioned by the company among the members thereof at the time of the losses paid by them re- ‘spectively in proportion to the interest then owned. by each member thereof. Another proviso in the same section isan amendment to read that the mutual insurance companies who have paid a loss shall be indemnified for the same, such indem- nity to be divided among its members who contributed to pay such loss at the time, but no member of any mutual insurance company shall be indemnified for any war prem- ium paid in such company. Section 12 is amended 80 as to read that in estimating the compensation to claimants interest shall be allowed at the rate of five per centum per annum upon the amount of the actual loss of damage which shall be adjudi- cated in each case to have been sustained trom the date of the award of the arbitrators at Geneva. Section 13 is amended to read as follows:—“That the President may designate a counsellor-at-law admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States to appear as counsel on behalf of the United States and represent the interests of the government in said suit and in all claims filed for indemnity for losses, a8 Provided by this act, subject to the supervision and control of the Attorney General. Sach coun- sel shall recetve for his services and expenses such reasonable allowance on each claim as may be ap- proved by the Court, to be appointed in each claim adjudicated, and paid from said award upon the certificase of the Judge.” Besides the above, there are a few verbal amendments to Mr. Butler's bill. The Proposed Change in the Head- quarters of the Army—The Reasons Stated by General Sherman. The announcement that the-order transferring the headquarters of the army to St. Louis has been issued to take effect onthe Ist of June, ts incorrect, as General Sherman stated to-day that he had no intention of removing until next Octo- ber. He says that the statement wasa misinter- pretation of a notice which, a short time since, he gave the occupant of his house in St. Louis to vacate by October, the agreement requiring six months’ notice to be given. In 1967 the second section of the act appropriating tunds for the support of the army required the head. quarters of the General of the Army to be at Washington, The same act for 1870 ~repealec this provision. Immediately after General Sherman asked the President to per- mit him to transier his headquarters from Wash- ington toSt. Louis. ‘he President wished the General to remain here, which of course ended the matter for the present. The reduction of the army and other considerations of a military and family nature revived the question a short time ago, and the President finally agreed to accede to the “request. The General is anxious to be nearer the army. If wanted here, he says they can let him know in fifteen minutes and he can come on, and if needed on the frontiers he is a few days nearer. The Gen- eral says that the future men of the army are on the plaing, and for an officer to live in Washington 1s equivalent to very soon losing all sympathy with the army. So far trom any misunderstanding be- tween himself and the Secretary of War is con- cerned, he says that he will leave here with no ill- feeling anywhere, that he goes purely to get away from Washington and to be nearer the army. A Caucus of Republican Senators—The Arkansas Trouble Not To Be Investi- gated. The Republican Senators held a caucus after the adjournment o1 the Senate to-day, for the purpose of considering what action should be taken upon the resolution introduced last week by Senator Clayton asking the appointment of a committee to investigate the troubles in Arkansas, and also in reference to the order of business. The Clayton resolution was first taken up, and gave rise to a lengthy discussion. A few ultra republi- cans countenanced the proposition of the Senator from Arkansas and endeavored to show reasons to establish the propriety of the resolution. A large majority, however, opposed the measure in every particular, It was maintained that Con- gress has no power to investigate the regularity of the election of a Governor of any State and in the case of Arkansas the constitution especially provides a remedy for the controversy which had grown out of this very question. It was replied by Ciayton’s supporters that Congress has already established the precedent of investigating the affairs of the late insurrectionary States. This was admitted, but it was farther supplemented with the expianation that Senator Scott's committee of 1871, to which alla- sion was made, had not for its object the internal administration of a State and the legality of elcc- tions, but had specifically beiore it an examination of the Ku Kiux outrages and generally the condi- tion of all the Southern States. In the case of Ar- kansas it was admitted that a committee of Congress would have the power to investigate within certain bounds, but that for this purpose it would not be worth the expense, for it is fully known that there is disorder there, though of an entirely local nature. It was stated that tne President had already taken the steps permitted by the constitution, which was to respond to the call of the legal authorities, so declared by the Legislature, under the powers of the State con- stitution, for military ald to suppress an insurrec- tion. It was further added that to undertake to investigate the contest between the rival Gover- nors, whieh would also involve Congregsional in- terference in favor of one side or the otner, would be establishing a very dangerous precedent and one which would apply to an election in Now York or any other State. Taking this view of the question into consideration it was decided by the caucus not to approve of Clayton’s resolution, and hence not to order an investigation. It was the evident opinion that if a committee of investi- gation were appointed Senator Clayton, the author of the resolution, should not be & member of it, and in order to relieve the Presi- dent of the Senate of embarrassment it would bave been provided that the committee should be elected, The caucus having given Clayton a quieter it turnea its attention to the order of business, when it wag decided to Giupoge | of this month. SHEET. of the Legislative, Exeeuttwe and Judicial Appropriation bill to-morrow gnd the next day to take up the Civil Rights bill, it was agreed to give the democrats a chance to show their hands and to reach a vote in about tnree days. 1618 possible that aiter the second day it Will be decided to it the question out. ‘This willin ail probability involve an all night session. This, it Was understood, would be the last politica! question to be taken up this session, The Mormon Delegate Before the House Committee on Elegtions. ‘The House Committee on Elections nad before it to-day George Q. Cannon, the Mormon Delegate, to answer the charges presented by Mr, Hazelton, of Wisconsin, that he was living in open polygamy with four women as his wives, in viola- tion of law. He declined to plead to the charges, and admitted nis guilt by stating that he would submit the matter on the evidence presented by General Maxwell. In the contested election case, which 1s conctusive against bim if the committee can be induced to | report, the expulsion of the polygamist apostle is considéred certain. The only obstacle is i mys- terfous one always raised by Brigham Young and the Mormons in preventing hostile action in Cen- gress against their peculiar interests, : The Adjournment Question. The principal committees of the House are wind- ing up the business before them Preparatory to an early adjournment. The Prospect Is now that thirty working days will enable botn houses to dtspose of every measure to be acted on this session. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation Bill—Prompt Action of the Senate. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appro, Priation bill, which has passed the House, was taken up by the Senate and continued in its read- ing until finished, but hae not yet been adopted by the Senate as a whole. The amendments of the committee were accepted without objection, though it is given out that several additional amendments will be offered by Senators, some of which will be of considerable tmportance and may not receive, the acquiescence of the House when sent back there. The despatch and celerity which bave been manifested in the prompt disposal of this bill by the Senate has excited great astonish- ment as well as satisfaction. In the memory of those who lrave been loagest in the Senate no such speedy action tas been known on an Appro- Priation bill of like importance. A gratifying fea- ture of the Seuate amendments 1s that it saves several, if not the larger part, of the poor clerks drawing small salaries in the Treasury Department wlio were to be cut off by the bill as it came from the House, The Health of Congressman Mellish. Ic is doubtful whether Congressman Mellish will recover. His health 1s completely broken, and Saturday night the physicians thought he was ina dying condition. This morning he hada rallied a little, but not suMcteat to give hope of further im- provement, AMUSEMENTS. Booth’s Theatre. A new actor in the rdle of Hamlet is pretty sure to draw a large audience to this home of the classic drama, and Mr. McCullough’s success in other char- acters naturally whetted public curiosity as to how he would acquit himself in the trying part of the melancholy Dane. The honse, was therefore, Well filled last night. The ideal Hamlet is not a real flesh and blood personage, and we have become 80 much used to the stage traditions that & man who appears and endeavors to present us with @ merely human Hamlet jostles our preju- dices and is not likely to make 4 very favorable impression, Mr. McCullough has broken away from the stage traditions in a great many in- stances, and gives us a fairly original and vigorous conception of the oy imeXchange. Whether the merely uuman Hamlet is a just equivalent for the subtler and more avstract figure he displaces is {a open to question. There 13a manly simplicity in the character that Mr. MoQullough presents us that we like infinitely better than the hamby pamby creation made up of mannerisms and weak conceits that have been im more than one instance accepted as revela- tions of Rentas but at the same time we confess that Mr. McCullough’s Hamlet leaves mucit to be desired. in tne scenes with the ghost and with his mother this actor’s best qualities are shown, aud also in bis advice to the actors, which was admirably delivered; yet, strange to gay, the advice so deftly ‘administered contained hints which Mr. MoCuliough might study with ad- vantage. In general this actor’s elocution is re- mark: He does what is very rare nowa- days on the stage—expresses delicate shades of thought by the inflection of his voice. In many of the tender passages this quality was well dis- Played, but the actor sought to emphasize so man, y es that sympathetic ca- dence was sacrificed to violent declama- tion, and the result was a loss of that careful gradation which gives color and ex- Pression without apparent effort, Miss Lillie played the part of Ophelia ina quiet, unobtrusive way. With the exception of Mr. Stark, who made @ very acceptable Polonius, and played the part carefully and intelligently, the support was not very brilliant. Mr. McCullough will repeat the periormance of Hamlet this evening, and those who are interested in Shakespeare will do well to see him. Musical and Dramatic Notes.

Governor Baxter has issued a proclamation revoking martial law in this county, in so far as to allow civil magistrates to issue warrants for parties accused of treason against | the State. One of the parties who drew up the Constitutional Convention bill stated, in reply to the questions of the HERALD correspond- ent, that Baxter did not like part of the bill, but they explained to him' that the object of appoint- ing three State Supervisors of Election was done, not because they did not want him to nave charge of the election, but that if he should die or be assassinated before the Convention was held the | Lieutenant Governor would be Governor, and they would be in a worse fix than if Brooks had suc- | ceeded. 4 DISLOYAL SENATOR, Lovejoy, a Brooks man, who was elected: State Senator at the last election, went to take his seat this morning.

Judge McClure says all the statements upon which Attor- ney General Williams predicated his opinion in the | Brooks-Baxter case are false from beginning to | end, and that the courts of the State, including the Supreme Court, have never nad under adjudi- | cation the cases erroncoasly made up by Mr. Wil- liams, With regard to the present condition of Little Rock, he said the situation remained unchanged; that Brooks would never surrender to Baxter's forces, but only to the federal authorities. Brooks would continue to be recognized as the lawful Governor by the State Auditor, Treasurer and Attorney General, and, in fact, by all the ex- | ecutive officers, except Mr. Johnson, Secretary of State, and that if Mr. Williams can dictate who is | Governor, against all the executive officers and against the decisions of the Court, then there is no longor @ republican form of government in Arkansas, The whole question will be brought be- fore Congress. All Quiet Along the Lines. | WASHINGTON, May 18, 1874, Colonel Rose telegraphs irom Little Rock to the Adjutant General here that everything is very quiet in that place, and that both parties have signed an agreement for disbanding their troops. Colonel Rose had been telegraphed from the head- quarters of the Department of the Gulf to recog- nize Baxter as Governor, and to deliver up the State arms in possession of the United States forces to him.

Gill, besides | two of the sheriffs of the county. It is said that the Governor was not altogether satisfed with the result of the trial of Sprague and the delay which 1s anticipated in the trial of the other officials, and | be has therefore concluded to call an extra session of the court, Tne officials will be tried im the Court of Oyer and Terminer, from tne fact that there are criminal cases enough on the calendar to occupy the entire term of the Court of Sessions. An extra Judge will be appointed to _preside, and the Attor- ney General of the State wili, it is said, Joshua M. Van Cott to aid District Attorn jow. The first oMcials who will be tried, it 1s said, will be the four Commissioners of Charities, The Assistant District Eg + f will at the same time try the parties now in jatl under indictments for murder.

A cigar box and tea caddy factory in the lower part of the city was burned last night. The loss is $17,000, which is partially covered by insurance In Paterson seem to have been sadly dilagory, as, spite of information telegraphed td them the police of this city, the woman remained there over @ month, Is fact, a boy, very bright and inteili- gent, named Charley Meyer, gave the New York police their filrat clew. It is confidently believed hat the arrest of this womar will! provw of greas importance, as the detectives eonsider it the Grst | step towards unearthing @ gang of domestic thieves of the most dangerous character. Much credit is due to OCaptam irving and Petectives ‘riley and Hetdelberg, who have" been bustiy en- gaged op the case, night and day, for the jast five weeks, ‘It is requested by the police oficia.s thas all parties who have been lately ravbed by domes tics apply immediately to Central’ Headquarters, | room 12.
