WASHINGTON. The Work of Assimilating Finan- cial Antagonisms. REMOVAL OF SECRETARY RICHARDSON, The House Eluding the Civil Rights Nightmare. PASSAGE OF THE TARIFF BILL. WASHINGTON, June 1, 1874, Situation of the Financial Struggle— Longings for Compromise and Stub- bornness of Purpose on Both sides— The Veto of the President a Sword of Damocles—Can Grant Be Fooled? The joint Committee of Conference on the Finances met, pursuant to adjournment, at one o'clock P. M. to-day in the Senate Finance Com- Mittee room, the previous session having been held at Senator Morton’s quarters in deference to his wishes and on account of his poor health, Which was so bad to-day that at one time it ‘was feared the session would be brought abruptly to an end; but he raliied after the application of Festoratives, and, notwitstanding he had not slept a wink last night and was this morning suf- tering greatly irom nervousness and anxiety, he Participated in the committee deliberations tor Rearly two hours, All the members were present, Senator Merrimon and Mr. May- Bard most prominently discussed the question, with irequent expressions ad- visory and conciliatory from both Senators Sher- man and Morton, Mesars, Clymer ana Farwell not saying much. The former Senator exhibited at times a solicitous and exacting nicety which al- most amounted to timidity when he hinted a doubt as to the approval of the President upon ‘what tt was contended should be the action of the Conference. ‘his consideration annoys Senators very much, since it is so frequently urged what the Presifent will or will not do in this or that event, and they at once retire with offended dig- amity behind their reserved rights and indepen. dence under the constitution, as a co-ordinate branch of the government. They are outspoken in their indignation, saying that they are not to be controlled nor intimidated by any such consid- eration us Executive favor or disapproval, and, in the language of one of them, it Was said that “a British Parliament might have kad a Cromwell, but au American Congress never, tor even could 8 Jackson now tamper with the Dnited States Senate.” The discussion was thor- ough, earnest and well tempered during the whole Of the committee's sitting, but no conclusion was Teached, nor even was any decided approach made to a general good understanding. Nothing, at any rate, looking like @ majority agreement or the | Prospect of an cariy conclusion has been yet se- cured; but Senator Morton has evinced a greater Spirit of concession and compromise than hereto- Jore, and, in his own words, ‘if he can now secure anything anywhere near what he has contended | for in the interests of the monetary demands of | the whole country he is determined that the responsibility of present failure shall not rest with him, and to that end he is disposed to go as far as it is right and proper in the solution of this great question.” In this apparent inclination of the expansionists to be accommodating will be found the only possi- bility of a measure, the success of which may bring the wearying suspense of the controversy toa happy conclusion. The question is now regarded With increasing solicitude by the President's friends and by the leading republicans. Tne only proposition which furnishes ground for hope is that which suggests a retirement of greenbacks varying in quantity from thirty-three to thirty. seven and-a half per cent of the reissue of national bank notes, This would, it is confidently asserted by promment politicians, meet with the Presi- dent’s sanction, But while the arguments are going on itis shrewdly suspected that Grant may be deluded by an adroit measure concocted by the opposition, which will go just far enough to obtain Ais approval and at the same time demonstrate an Ieoherency of logic and principle. On the other hand, with an appearance of yielding their pecu- Mar opinions, the expansionists will go far enough to show an earnestness o! intent in the work of | solving the financial problem, but only to that point where Grant cannot meet them, and then he will be held accountable to the whole country for the failure to per‘ect a system of so- called relief, The most positive agreement, how- ever, which has been reached and which would give the largest satisiaction if the whole plan of compromise were carried out, is that which re- scinds what is Known as the Scott amendment, which disturbs the bank reserves in New York city to the extent of about $40,000,000, This is gen- erally acknowledged by almost every one as af- fording the principal reason to President Grant for @ veto of the bill which was recently sent to him for his signature. ‘his, if adopted, would remove the greatest cause of alarm and opposition wo any finance bill on the part of the administra- tion and largely iacilitate its adoption, if it has no otuer too radical provision as to tbe retirement of greenbacks or the fixing of too early a date for specie resumption. Uniess more healthy symp- toms t. at present are discernible are devel- oped no suc jul closing up of the broad chasm which lies between the two dissentient factions of the dominant party can be effected by the strength or spirit of either, and the “do nothing policy” of Seuator Boutwell wili be the shame of the govern- meutfor some time to come. Senator Ferry, of | Michigan, Speaker Blaine, Congressman Hooper | and Senators Carpenter and Howe are at work un- | tiringly to accomplish a practical result, but the | sick man, Butler, with cunning machiuations, 1s | at tite bottom of a determined effort to prevent “a consummation s0 devoutly to be wished.” HRichardson Removed from the Treas- ury—Nomination of Ex-Solicitor Gen- eral Bristow To Be Secretary of Fi. mance—The Decapitated Cabinct Of- ficer Appointed Judge of the Court of Claims—Partisan Opinions on the Changes. What has been expected for weeks took place to-day, when the President sent to the Senate the womination of Colonel B. H. Bristow to be Secre- tary of the Treasury, vice W. A. Richardson, who is at the same time appointed to fill the vacancy tn the Court of Claims, Since the retirement of Colonel! Bristow as Solicitor General, the first ap- pointment made in the organization of the De- | pariment of Justice, he has been engaged princt- pally in practising law. He left public life because {t Was more profitabie to accept the position of at- | torney of the Texas Pacific Railroad, but soon dis- rovered that this kind of professional routine did aot accord with his taste or jadgment and he quietly withdrew. His only ambition has been to be At- torney Generai, the nonorabie prestige of which has been valnable to all those wno have occupied the office sor any length of time. For the position ‘or which he was to-day nominated he has neither imclination nor desire, and though his name has deen sent to the Senate, it has not been done with ‘tis ungualitied consent. He fully appreciates the diMculties besetting the omce and ts naturaily dif dent about assuming responsibilities for which fe ia not fitted by a practical knuwiedge of busi- nessand mercantile interests. 1t has been said shat a former Secretary of the Treasury trom Ken- tucky, James Guthrie, was an eminent lawyer, but air, Bristow says that Mr. Guthrie had been sktlied (n business relations by connection with corpora. jlons and in managing great enterprises, and so was prepared to enter with his iegal ability upon a successiul administration of the Treasury Depart- ment. Of the appointment there bas been but one opinion expressed to-day, both among repuplicana snd democrats, and that is that he 1s | » man of great firmness, integrity 4nd intelicet, that he is zealous, popular and eni- sient, apd bis varied experiences haye develope ; in him common sense rare in either professional or oMcial lite which will enable him to discharge the duties of the new office with entire credit to the country, if not to the politicians. Of the nom- ination of Mr. Richardson to fill the vacancy in the Court of Claims there is much criticism. Judge Loring, a Massachusetts man, already occu- Pies a seat on the bench, and the office now to be fillea by right belongs toaSouthern man, Judge Milligan, who recently 4:¢a, being from Tennessee. In benalf of Mr. Richardson it is said Judge Lor- ing, now over seventy, will retire tn a few months, and the confirmation of Mr. Richardson would not really add a New England appointment to vhe bench, But Mr. Ricbardson’s confirmation is not & matter of certainty. On their reception by the Senate the nomina tions of Messrs, Bristow and Richardson were re- spectively reerred to the Finance and Judiciary Committees, by whom they must be reported upon before being confirmed or rejected. Cabinet Meeting and Movements of the President. A meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day, as the President intends to leave Washington this even- ing for a visit to New York, and there can, con- sequently, be no session to-morrow. Previous to the Cabinet session General Bristow had an inter- view with the President. The Case of Delegate Cannon, the Mor- mon Congressman=—The Charges of Bribery Against Representative Hynes. The House Committee on Elections to-day in- formally discussed the charges of polygamy against Mr. Cannon, of Utab, and the testimony taken by them on the subject. No vote was reached and no action taken to indicate what the committee will recommend to the House, it being deemed advisa- ble to await a full meeting of all the members, Mr. Hynes, of Arkansas, will appear before the committee to-morrow im connection with the charges of bribery made against him by John Bradley. The latter was Hynes’ opposing candi- date, and he sets forth in aMdavit that Hynes in- duced him to withdraw by promising to pay him $i,500, of which sum he has actually paid only $500, leaving due the balance, Whe Sundry Civil Appropriations. The House Committee on Appropriations to-day agreed to insert in the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill the tollowing amounts for public buildings at the places named:—Boston Post Umce, $352,02 Boston Custom House, $25,000; Chicago, $750,000; Cincinnati, $600,000; Evansville, Ind., $50,000; Hartiord, $150,000; Memphis, $25,000 ; New Orleans, $191,000; New York, $1,344,207; Omaha, $2,000; Portland, $2,000; Philadelphia, $750,000; St. Louis, $75,000; San Francisco, Cal., $183,742; New Haven, $20,000; Knoxville, $20,000; State, War and Navy Department Buildings, Washington, $70,000; Milwaukee, $38,453. There are several other appropriations, being for the South. About $7,000,- 000 in all are proposed for public buildings, and for general repairs $200,000. Some of these appropria- tions include furniture. $202,680 are inserted for the survey of the boundaries of the Indian reserva- tions, and $2,832,560 for the Choctaw claim. The Proposed Conversion of the Island of Mackinaw into a National Park. The Senate has passed a bill, on motion of Mr. Ferry, of Michigan, giving, if it finally becomes a law, to the proposed system of national parks the valuable accession of the Island of Mackinaw in the Straits of Mackinaw, Lake Michigan. The island is the birthplace of Senator Ferry. It is said to be @ most beautiful and romantic spot, and eligibly situated for the purposes for which the new park is intend2d—a parade ground in time of peace and a post for military occupation in time of war, The Brooks’ Soreheads in Washington Disappointed—The Congressional Com- mittee on Arkansas not in a Hurry to Reach Little Rock—No Action Probable. The representatives of the ousted Arkansas officials, who recently rallied under the leader- ship of Brooks at Little Rock, but more recently were marshalled here by Judge McClure, are doomed to a disappointment. The vic- tory which they obtained through the active importunity of Senators Clayton and Dorsey in having & committee of investigation appointed by the House to proceed to Arkansas at once, is about to prove an empty one, Mr. Woodward, of the committee, is absent, and Mr. Taylor is sick, while Judge Poland, the Chairman, is reluctant to start for Arkansas in this hot weatner, and, being some- what advanced in years, is disposed to put of the troublesome trip until the cool weather of the jall. But this will not serve the purpose of Sheriff Clive and Marshal Sabor, who gay that such a course as this will not do them any good, as they must return there at once under this proposed protection if they are to save any of their Property and provide for the further protection oi their vegue lepee families, it is said that tbe committee will simply break up without doing anything, but will keep up an appearance of a good mcention until Arkansas postulants have re- tired, when they will maintain a masterly state of mactivity aad let the “Arkansas Traveller’’ go his own way. Resignation of Solicitor Banfield. Solicitor Banfield, of the Treasury Department, tendered his resignation to the President on Sa urday last, THE PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Report of the Board of Foreign Mis- sions—A Large Expenditure—Feeling Growing Out of the Swing Heresy Trial, St, Louis, June 1, 1874, ‘The attendance at the morning session of the Presbyterian General Assembly was considerably reduced, many of the members having gone home. Dr. Darling, from the committee to which was re- ferred the report of the Board of Foreign Missions, presented the report, the statistics of which have been already published. Dr. David Irving, Secre- tary, and Rev, Mr. Rankin, Treasurer, spoke of the work of the Board during the past year, dwelling with gratification on the fact that the Board is free from debt. The latter stated that during the forty-one years of the Board’s existence it has ex- pended $6,250,000, of which sum $5,100,000 passed through his hands. He said he did not think the Board could get along next year with the same al- lowance as of last year. ‘fhe report was adopted. ‘The subject of a tormula for receiving new mem- bers, baptizing infanuis, &c., Was taken up. The Assembly was divided as to the advisability of hav- ing any Yormain whatever, many opposing any- thing in the shape o/ ritualism. Un motion of Dr, Darling the whole subject was indefinitely post- oned. y Dr. Atwater, Chairman of the Committee on Sominaries, reported that ail the semiuaries under the charge of the Assembly had prospered greatly during the year. br. Green presenved a minority report in the shape of a resolution, to the effect that the Assembly withhold its sanction of the ap- pointment of Dr. R. W. Patterson to the chair of Apologetics and Kthics in the Seminary of the Northwest. Dr. Neison said any man who impeached the soundness o/ the theology of Dr. Patverson touched tne apple of the eye of a great many in the Assembly, (Applause.) Rev. Mr. Kittridge, of | Chicago, heartily concurred in Dr. Nelson's re- marks, The discussion of both reports was post- poned tilt Wednesday morning. In the alternoon session considerable feeling Was manilested on the subject of the report of the Committee on Theological Assemblies, 1t being un- derstood the objection to Dr. Patterson as Projes- sor of the Seminary of tue Northwest was owing to his champiensnip of Protessor Swing in the late trouble between the latter gentleman and Pro- Jessor Patton, Alter listening to speeches from a numper of visiting delegates, the Chairman of the committee to which was referred the report of the Board of Publication, presented an elaborate statewent of the work o! the Board during the year. ‘the committee appointed to select the next place of meeting reported that they had chosen the Second church, Cincinnati, ATD FOR MILL RIVBR SUFFERERS, Yo THE Eprtor or THE HERALD.

His Movements Ye:terday—A Conference with French Political Leaders—The Proposed Lecture at the Academy of Music. Yesterday M. Rochefort and his friends visited Fredricks’ photograph gallery. Alter M. Pain had been taken, they proposed taking M. Benedic under the impression that he was the escaped Communist Grousset under an assumed Dame, and the gentleman felt at length called Upon to state bis true position. M. Rochefort and party then went to another gallery and were taken again, after which they visited the Brothers May, the well-known Communists who, with @ party of like choice, spirits. have been very ardent im their endeavors to see M. Rochefort. A sort of semi-conierence took place, and the great French pamphleteer explained the position in which he was placed. He stated that at the Present time he wished to simply assume the réle of @ private citizen, and would not endeavor to cause any embarrassment to his friends in France. The present government would go down soon enough of itself without being helped, and his present objects were not so much of political 1m- port as of family ties, He wished to meet his family in Switzerland, The conference of M. Rochefort with his friends lasted about three hours and much was decided on ag to the future course to pursue. After the con- ference M. Rocnejort and his iriends returned to the hotel and pereree for the dinner tendered them by Mr. Pelletier of the Union Républicaine, The dinner took place at six o'clock and lasted ubttl half-past eight. A number of the members of the Union Képublicaine were present. ‘The occa- sion was a social one, and polizics for the time being were taboced, no speeches being made of any Kind, Alter the dinner M, Rochefort received some members of various French societies, He Was strongly invited to be present at the meeting of one of these which takes place this evening. He declined, bowever, expressing nis inability to attend, or to take any action In politica just at present. He also declined being present at any anquet in his honor, on the plea already given that money spent in this way, when many of their brethren were suffering from want and misery, would be not only in bad taste, but would be criti- cised very strongly by their opponents, He ad- heres to hts determination to give the lecture. Everything has now been settled ag to the lec- ture. It will take place at the Academy of Music on Friday evening. The price of reserved seats, as HERALD, is had been suggested in Lecce 4 8 fixed at $2, and the admission $150. The lee of the lecture will be “The Events in France Since the Fall of the Empire.”” The whole proceeds will be sent to the former companions of Rochefort in New Caledonia, who are starving and in the direst misery. The sale of the tickets begins to-day. M. Rocheiort states that as he wishes to refer to many papas and documents, so as to make his recital of facts absolutely incontrovertible, and ag he cannot obtain the necessary quiet in the city, he will retire for two or three days to M. Pelletier’s country residence at Yonkers tor that time, and will give his entire time to composing the lecture, which, however, will not be a mere reading, but willbe supplemented with much that will occur to himatthe moment. He will probably return to the city on Friday morning. It 1s also possible that he may deliver a lecture in Boston, and if time permits another in Philadelpmia for the same cause, M. Flaurand, one o! the principal members of the Union Républicaine, has entire charge of the business arrangements of the lecture, under the supervision of his society. Already many of the uuckets are sold. It is not probable that M. Rochefort will 1 America permanently before Saturday week, Messrs. Pain and Benedic will leave with him. M. Pascal Grousset, another of the prominent Communist leaders who escaped from New UVale- donia with Rochefort, will probably arrive nere to- any from San Francisco, and will join his friend, esterday evening M. Rochefort, accompanied by M. Pain and M. Benedict, visited the office of the HERALD and spent an hour or two in going through the various departments of the establish- ment. The process of stereotyping and the opera- tions of the new Bullock press especially inter- ested M. Rochetort, who, as & journaiist, is familiar With all the machinery of a newspaper. Leaving the office about eleven, they strolled up Broadway. THE ROCHEFORT MANIFESTO. Opinions of the Press. ROCHEFORT AND WENDELL PHILLIPS, [From the Brooklyn Eagle.) Rochefort is a man with a clear, distinct, defined Purpose, jaith in that purpose, and capable of stat- ing and urging it in just the way his fiery country- men can best comprehend It, Suppose that aiter the election of Lincoln and before his inauguration the democratic adminis- tration had taken it into their heads that bis radi- cal views were firing the South into rebellion and nursing the North into corresponding hate of the South. Suppose that, without warrant of law, they had “ior State reasons” sent him and all the other leading abolitionists to the Dry Tortugas. Suppose, iurther, that the war, neverthe! did break out, and that as it broke out itps effected his escape to Paris, and there pubhshed 4p explanatory protest in the Dédats in English and in French. Suppose this manifesto to contain in part a series of revelations of a conspiracy be- tween the admimistration at Washington and the Southern leaders to crush free speech and a@ iree press in the North, and that that manifesto ap- eared just alter the second defeat at Bull Run. the e€ect such @ manifesto wouid have created in New England 1s, in kind, precisely the same as the effect this letter of Rocheiort’s will create among ‘the millions of republicans in France. It difersin degree just 80 much as, to use Rochelort’s own words, the French people are more sensitive, nervous and impassionable, and just so much that their sensitiveness is the more quickly wounded by present sense of utter deieat from a toreign 1oe, the fall and almost the ruin of their capital. The truth o1 this is so clear that in France it can no more be met by calling Rochefort a fanatic than the same name bestowed upon Philips and Garrison met their statement that slavery was a blot on the scutcheon of @ {ree republic. The right ofiocal seif-government would be the death blow at once to imperialism and to monarchy, and, | rather than that, the Prussian was helped by the army to the avoidance of needing to face that en masse, Which, under Robespierre and the rest, hurled back Germany from the soil of France during the fanaticisms of the first Frencn revolu- | tion. Call it order, call it peace, call 1t consolidar tiou—what you like, centralization is what Roche- fort is fighting, and it 1s what millions of his countrymen are determined to fight, and it is what centralized Germany will not alow France to put down if she can help it. AS usual with Rochefort in defending, urging his pet principle, he adopts the method of attack, and directs his attack always on the man who repre- sents for the nonce the power that retards its adoption, His letter of yesterday is as bitter against MacMalion as were his articles agaiust the late Emperor. They are as unjust tn many re- spects and as reckless in all; but it is vain to deny that at this moment they are in every way caicu- lated to fire French pride. This man Rochelort, pelitically, breathes but the atmosphere of '93, and the spirit of '93 never sleeps in France. But it is the spirit of '93 at tuned, as it were, to the humanity of '74, IRREPRESSIBLE FEROCITY. [From the Brooklyn Union.) Having so recently escaped from his htdeous thraidom, which he expected to be perpetual, a little extravagance, and an exhibition of antics to which we are unused on this side of the Atlantic, might be expected from him. strained wildness and irrepressible ferocity of epithets, as exhibited in the letter published by him im yesterday’s HERALD, are something tor which the public could not have been prepared, He is an excellent specimen of a Frenchman.

THE EMPEROR'S MISTAKE. [From the Brooklyn Argus.] Henri Rochefort says that Louis Napoleon caused the slaughter of 200,000 men in order to exile 500. It was, perhaps, well enougn to. arrange before: hand a programme of those who were to pe killed | and those who were tu be exiled; but what tue | iriends of order chiefly blame the Emperor for 1s, that he put Rochefort in the wrong classification. DBADLY FOR TO IMPERIALISM. [From the Commerctal Advertiser.) As to his own intentions for the future—whether he proposes to aliv himself with Bonapartist, le« gitimist or republican—he tells us not one whit. We confess to some apprehension of M.

The Atlantics Again Whitewashed—A Clear Beat by Ten to Nothing. The first game of the championship series be- tween the Philadelphia and Atlantic clubs was | played on the Union grounds yesterday afternoon in the presence of apout 1,000 spectators, the re- sult being an overwhelming defeat for the Atlan- tics, From first to last the home club utterly failed in their endeavor to hit Cummings with good effect, and not until the eighth inning did they get @ man on the first base or earn a base hit. In the ninth inning, alter two hands were out, Farron, of the Atlantics, got in a safe hit to centre fleld, and was sent to third by Pearce, who hit safe for a bag. It now seemed as though the ice would be broken and that iong coveted run obtained; but Clinton was at the bat, and as he had struck out twice and fouled out once tt was not gener- ally supposed he would knock the ball any great distance out of sight, although he might possibly get in some Kind of @ base hit. But he didn’t; he strack out! Deh!man was sick, and therefore could not get out to play, in consequence of which Chapman had to take his place. ‘The change was very disastrous for the Atlantics, they seeming to lose all their nerve in fielding, and allowed the visitors to score 10 runs off as many base hits. ‘he only redeeming feature of their flelding was a triple play by West, | who caught a liner at second base, touched the bag before Eggler, who had gone towards third, could get back, and then threw to first base, where he captured Holdsworth betore be could get backito the base. For the Philadelphias, all played well: two catches by Eggler in centre'fleld (on one of which ne made a@ double play) being especially note» worthy. ‘The score is as follows :— PHILADELPHIA.

In commemoration of the twenty-fifth year of | the reign of Victor Emmannel, 4s well as in view | of the great holiday which Rome delights in cele- brating in the beginning of the merry montn of June, between eight and nine hundred Italian- | patriots assembled yesterday at East River Park, | It is diMcult to put on paper a full description of | | all the pleasures which the sons of the sunny soil | had concocted in order to do honor to the occa | sion, Sufiice it to say that they were of a charac- ter that carrted memory backward to home days in the old country, to the gatherings on the grape | | crowned hilisides, and to that fuil, free, hearty | interchange of the amenities of social life which might well be expected from a community thus set free to enjoy & national festival. Atnoon ; the pleasant grounds of the park, rendered addi uonally attractive by unexceptionally glorious | Weatner, Were thronged to the very gates. Promt- \"nent among the assemblage was the Columbus Guard, uniformed io the style of thé Bergagheri of | Italy.

But that | the festival was @ great success there could be little doubt. What with dancing, sack racin, swings, target shooting and all the other avenues of festivé entertainmeot which such an occasion generally suggests, the affair was highly appre- | clated by all who participated. Perhaps the most remarkable feature presented was the unanimit, of ieeling, to say nothing of the joyousness, wit. | which the guests entered into the spirit of the en- tertainment, eee loyal and patriotic shuute it | Was finally reseived to send » message to Victor | | Emmannet congratulating him on the fact that | he had reigned twenty-five years as King of | Italy.
