The Constitutional bill preparg’ by the Left Centre will be introduced in the Asiéinbly to-moi row and “urgency”? will be demanded for it. Whether an alliance has been effected between the Left and Right centres cannot be known until ‘the bill shall have reached a vote. The Moderate Left will support the motion for urgency, notwithstanding its antipathy to recog- nition of the Assembly’s constituent power, be- cause it desires to secure some defence for the Republic against the Bonapartists. THE PEOPLE OF PARIS ANXIOUS AND EXCITED, Anxiety in regard to the result of to-morrow’s altting of the Assembly pervades all classes, The government has taken vigorous steps for the suppression of both Bonapartist and radical agitations in the barracks, Tae police have closed the Café de Opéra, on the Boulevard Haussmann, because it was a ren- dezvous for tne Bonapartists.

Clémenceau has again challenged M. de Oassagnac for insinuating that he is a coward and had ucted dishonorably, and proposes a duel between ten republican and ten Bonapartist Dep- utiles. M. de Cassagnac replies contemptuously that he will ight nobody but Gambetta, ana that the Bonapartist Deputies cannot accept the challenge.

Doubtless he has gone ta the “Happy hunting ground” from whose bourne no | Cochise has ever returned to tell the story of its game and its wigwams. The recent conduct of the Apaches bas been much more docile than formerly, but still occasional rumors are heard of restless | and savage inciination on their part, and their quietude 1s not entirely to be trusted.

THE .PRESIDENTIAL PLEASURE PARTY. How Yesterday Was Spent at Cape May—Citizens of the Rural Districts “Viewing” the President—Secretary Bristow Attracting Curiosity—Of for Philadelphia. 3? Care Mav, 1une 14, 1874, The President and the other distinguished guests who comprised the stag party from Wash- ington did not put in an appearance this morning until about ten o’clock. They vreakfasted at that hour in the main diniiig room of Congress Hall, enjoying precisely the same accommodations as all the other parties in the house, and no more. The morning dawned superbly, with astrong and , Steady breeze coming from the sea, The sky was cloudless, and the thermometer, indicating a tem- perature of sixty degrees at daybreak, has not reached a point more than four degrees higher all day long. COUNTRY CURIOSICY SERKERS, The scene about the hotel at an early hour this morning Was quite o lively one; for, despite the ADS that the distinguished party desired the “circuinstancs gf heir arrival to be kept as secret ad pdasibie, “the: B°W8 spread everywhere rapidly, and a great mauj* people drove in from the country districts, in order to catch a glimpse of the President. ‘The | gentlemen for a long time after breakiast showed @ decided inclination to be exclusive, and kept their circle free from all intrusion. Later, how- ever, the party separated, each group seeking its | own amusement and recreation. Some strolled at low tide along the beach, others rode in carriages countryward, while others still paced to and {ro the lengths of the broad verandas, THE PRESIDENT WALKS ALONE. The President himself waived an tnvitation to ride, and, taking advantage of a 1avorable oppor- tunity, sought the shore and walked upon the sand by liumsel!, unaccompanied by any o.fe. None of the party attended church, Yhe trains from Philadelpiia, which arrived before noon, brought down many passengers, and,'during the earlier part 01 the afternoon, the beach wore quite 4 lively appearance. The President and his com- panions seemed to desire quiet and rest anda slight freedom from the roar and rush of the capital, to which they return in the morning. All contemporaneous topics seemed more pleasing for their discussion than politics, which were studi- ously avoided, THE NEW SECRETARY OP THE TREASORY. The last So nolases at Washington, Mr. Bristow, Secretary of the Treasury, seemed to be the cyno- | sure of every eye, every one apparently desiring to speak with him. His fine personal physique im- pressed all very favorably, and in nis conversation | he was easy and entertaining. DEPARTURE FOR PHILADELPHIA, The party dined between the hours of five and | six P. M., and an hour later took a special train for Philadelphia, with a view of reaching Washing- ton early to-morrow. A large crowd had collected atthe depot, and the President was obliged to undergo the customary hand-shaking, &c. A QUIET VISIT. The President's visit has been an exceedingly quiet one, and on this account he is, no doubt, all | the more pleased. It was {ree fronf any prear- ranged programme, every one being leit to seek bis own enjoyment in & manner most agreeavle to himself. WEST POINT. The Near Approach of the Goodby Day— Settling Up Old Scores—The Graduates to Leave on Wednesday. West POINT, June 14, 1874, The beginning of the end 1s close at hand, and, by Wednesday next, the graduates who have already passed their examination in all the branches of study, but who are yet obliged to walk in the military way that the discipiine of the post enforces on every one here who wears a untform, will have bidden their goodby to the Academy— many of them, probably, an eternal farewell. During the past two weeks the time has certainly dragged heavily with the graduates, and now that all their anxieties as to the examination and its probable results are at an end, the time from now until they are relieved by special order from duty will drag still more heavily. When they were preparing for the examination they had more than enough to occupy their minds. Now they are in the enjoyment of many privileges they were unable to avail themselves of before, and have so much time to spare between their visits at the hotel and their rambles about the “lovers’ walk” aod elsewhere, that Wednesday Will be @ long time coming to most of them. To- morrow they will have one busy day of it anyhow. ‘They have yet their accounts to SETTLE WITH THE TREASURER, and in settling them but a few, doubtless, will ex- ert their mathematical Knowledge to the full ten- sion to find out why on earth it ts that when o fellow draws against his account to the very last cent during the four years of his stay here, the rule will always turn out the same that ten from ten nothing® remains, Each cadet, you Know, gets $500 a year during his term lowed not to draw in cash, but to draw against, to supply lis wants tn the mat- | ter of clothing, &c. There 1s a tradition that once | upon time an economical cadet, on settling his accounts the day before graduating, discovered that he had coming to him the magnificent balance of eighty-seven cents. That night, the tradition iur- ther says, the entire graduating class had an elegant Collation of peanuts and canay, the candy man | on the post being benefitted thereby to the extent of the eighty-seven cents. What the fate ot the present class in the economical line will be is as | yet @ mystery, but there are those who contend | that the boys, during the last year especially, spent | 80 much in “charity” that the general balance will | not make up a lund large enough to endow a plebe with a ull set of towels, THE LIGHT FANTASTIC, On Friday eveuing we had what was called the first regular hop of the season at the hotel. The dining room was mide use of for the occasion and @ few string pieces from the band answered for a Mull orchestra. There was a large attendance, all the graduates being on hand early and many of the officers joining in the dance, There was noth- | ing astonishing in the matter of the ladies’ toilets; im fact, the great majority were quite plainly dressed, apparently being more desirous of enjoy- ing the fun at their ease than of showing off in | their suks and satins and diamonds. Probably the , real reason for this lies in the shrewdness of the | feminine mind, which revels in surprises for the | lords 0 creation, and reserving their grand toilets | for the cadet hop next Tuesday might, when every- _ boay and her cousin is expected to come out im the | full effulgence of her millinery glory, THE EXPECTATIONS. The post has presented quite a lively appearance | to-day, a large number of visitors having arrived by the cars and boats yesterday, and the most of Whom, bejng transient, took advantage of the de- | lightful weather to-day to roam ail over the | grounds, not even forgetting to scale the heights | Of old Fort Put, At the evening parade there was @ large concourse of spectators. To-morrow 3 grand rush of visitors is expected, who will re- main over to witness the ceremony of awarding the diplomas on Tuesday, and to see the graduates: off on Wednesday. DEMOORATIO SUOOESS IN OREGON. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 13, 1874. A despatch from Portiand, Oregon, this evening, | gives the following result of the State election :— The entire democratic State ticket ts elected, The Senate stands, 11 republicans, 9 democrats, 10 independents.

Grayson, Sheriff of Clay county, Arkansas, was arrested here, charged with ab- | sconding from that county with $5,000 of public faunas. He left for Arkadelphia to-day, in charge of officers from that place. Payson denies the embezzlement and states that the charge against him is @ plece of persecution growing out of the Brooks and Baxter difcuity, he being & Brooks man. He says that an attempt was made some days ago to assassinate him, and that he came here on business and intended to return | home in a few days. MILITARY AUTHORITY IN UTAH. The Status of the Conflict With the Municipal Powers. Sat Laks, June 13, 1874. No demand has yet been made by the city au- thorities of the military for the surrender to them Of the soldier taken forcibly from the Jail by mili- tary order, altbough it 18 stated he would be de- livered if application was made.

The Inflationists DeSpondent | Over Theif Defeat. SATISFACTION OF SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS REMA'NING WORK FOR CONGRESS. WASHINGTON, June 14, 1873, The Effect of the Defeat of the ‘“‘Com- promise” Finance Bill—The Inflation- ists Gloomy and Disheartened—What Will the Future Bring Forth? The effect of the defeat suffered by the Confer. ence bill has been more apparent to-day in the ac- Vion of Senators, and in their expressions of con- cern as to what will come next. The causes which induenced the action of the House are ‘by some attributed to the fact that «it = was industriously reported that the Prest- dent would veto the bill, and the repubii’m members did not wish further to incur his displeasulé, a5 1t might affect them in their pat- ronage, and, par congcquence, in coming elections in which they are {titerested. The democrats voted solidly against tt, becatse they don’t wish the greenbacks to be retired and the cause of the national banks to prosper, to which they are violently opposed, because they are regarded as republican instititutions. Sen- ator Morton expressed himself freely as having done the utmost to effect some adjustment of the financial question. He says no furtier re- sponsibility rests with him, and hence, so far as the action of the newly appointed cunterence com- mittee is concerned, he is quite indifferent as to what they may seek to accomplish, if any- thing be possible. The redistribution of the currency, as suggested by Senator Sherman, will not give the satisfaction demanded nor be an agent of general good, For the balance of the session, whether the Senate works hard or not, and especially at night, he is inclined, now that his duty has been performed, to feel that he is not called upon to further exhaust himself in legislative excitement, having already quite over- tasked himself, On reference being made to Sena- tor Logan leaving here to-night in order to attend the Lilinois State Convention he did not say much; but there was a very merry and meaning twinkle in his eye when the allusion was made which, to those who know him well, means much and more than it 18 desired to say in words. He ts particularily annoyed with the report of his party, and says that he shall be still found entirely in the republican party and performing the duties of his mission within its ranks. The party ia inno danger of being rendered superserviceable. This ts about the substance of his views, expressed ina much more easy and self-satisfied manner than 13 his usual wont, anc alter his most positive ex- pressions he whistled a lively operatic air, remark- ing that a band which was just then return- ing from the laying or the corner stone of @ new colored Catholic church did not play very good music. Senator Merrimion also manitests 4 very great indifference as to what shall be done, and Senator McCreery, of Kentucky, 1g indignant in the extreme, because of the coali- tion of the contractionist democrats with the con- tractionist republicans in the House, and he very pithily remarked that he did not! see any hope of the country being re- lieved from its present distress. No one, however, contemplates the situation with pleasure of gratitication, Dr. Lindermann, the Director of the Minte»who has just returned from Philadel- phia, reports that the news of the action of the House on the conference was received with a great deal of surprise. He says that a great many rolling mills, factories and furnaces will be obliged’ to stop, and that there will be great em- barrassment among the industries tf nothing more will be done with the finances than has already been the case. It has been suggested that the new phase of the finance question would be the means of keeping Congress in session beyond the time fixed for adjournment; besides the ber of private bills which have gone over from year to year after having been reported favorably by committees, may incite them in a spirit of industry and justice to hold over until the ist of July and do some of this business which they conscientiously feel has been 80 long neglected to the injustice nd oppression of many worthy claimants, {n this connection, “Old Probabilities” has stated to-day that the preseat cool weather would last needed for the continuance of the session of Con- gress ana the despatch of the private bills, If this should prove to be so, much more needed legislation may be accomplished than would otherwise be the case. Southern Democratic Gratulation at Republican Financial Discomfiture. The Southern democratic Senators agree that the Senate Finance Committee is in an unenvi- able position, having been defeated on all sides. Oversiaughed by the Senate, their plans have been repudiated by the House and the President More particularly has the line of policy advocated this ana last year by Mr. Sherman, chairman of the committee, utterly failed and been even re- pudiated by the country. The republican party, at the close of the war, promised the country spe- cie payments, and thus far has not taken a single step in that direction, The responsibility for the present distressed condition of the country and jor the depreciation of the currency must rest upon that party for failing to comply with the self imposed obligations of their conventions, The Last Week of the Session—Status of Business in Congress—Appropriation Bills Passed—Progress of Other Mca- sures. Hundreds of visitors are now here on business with Congress, interested either in public mea- sures or in bills for the rellet of individuals. They are daily to be found at the doors of the two Houses and in the ante-rooms. Members are all the time being called out in response to their cards, while not @ few receive importunate visitors at their residences, Owing to the approach of the end of the session | the standing committees will be no further called upon for reports. The committees on appropria- tions and of Ways and Means can report for refer- ence, but a suspension of the rules is necessary for action on their bills. The Committee on Printing and Enrolled Bills are privileged to report at any time, as are also committees of conference. | The following general appropriation bills have {| tion, the Military Aeademy and the Consular and Diplomatic. The Legislative, Executive and Ju- dicial bil, the Indian bill, the Deficiency bill ana | the Pension bill are either .n conference or are pending on amendments, They could all be dis- posed of in a day ortwo. The Miscellaneous Ap- propriation bill will probably reach the Senate from the House on Monday. The Pension bill is pending on one small atnendment, having passed both houses. The River and Harbor bill has been reported to the Senate, with amendments. The Post Office Appropriation bill has yet to be acted on by the Senate. The Committee on Trans- to the Seaboard will not recom- mend tho passage of the St. Philip Canal bill, but propose instead that the President be authorized to appoint a Board of Engineers—two from the army, two from the coast survey and three from oivil iife—to make a thorough survey ‘and examination of both the canal and Jetty plan of improvement and report to Congress. Fifty thousand dollars are to be appropriated for that purpose. Coolie Labor Employed on Gov Work in California. Representative Luttrell, of California, having re. ceived a telegram from Oaliformia stating that the contractor for constructing the dry dock at rnmont | inches high and weighs 130 pounds. | about this gait and making his first mile in7 Chinese laborers, will offer 3 Fesoiution f tion by the house of > * mee aCe: - aepresentatives directing the Secretary of "2 Navy to put a stop to such em ployer of coolie labor on government work. - «ae Committee on the District of Colum- bia Abuses and Their Forthcoming Report, ‘The committee to investigate the affairs of the District of Columbia have been in seasion several days on their report, the principal parts of which have been prepared by Senator Allison and Representative Wilson, of Indiana. The com- mittee were in consultation to-day and to-night, endeavoring to compromise views, in order to make @ unanimous report. Nothing is specifically known as to its contents, the committee not being free at present to speak of them; but there is no question in any mind that the report will severely criticize the District au- thorities and condemn many of their proceedings, ‘The bill already reported trom the committee to entirely change the government of the District is their condemnation of that now extsting. It is generaily believed that the testimony in the safe burglary case will be reported, accompanied bya resolution that it be sent to the Department of Justice for such action as may be deemed proper. Futher Resignations from the Indian Board—[ys Abolishment Proposed. Mr. Thomas K. Cree, Secretary of the Board of Indian Commissioners during the past three years, has resigned. Hon.

He returned home drank and ugly, and, seizing a chair, struck her on the head and neck with if, thus inflicting injuries which the attending physicians seem to regard ag dangerous, although Mrs. Trainor herself does not think she is going to die. The jury rendered a verdict against Trainor, the wife beater, and Coro- ner Woltman committed nim to the Tombs. The First battalion Massachusetts light artillery, Major DV. H, Follett commanding, will arrive here on the morning of the 25th inst., and march up Broadway about ten a M.

Major Follett will give a grand reception at the Grand Ventrai Hotel—the patealion’s nead- quarters during their stay in the city—to the oMcers of the Twenty-second regiment, all the prominent oficers of the First division and the press, for which invitations will soon be out, The attalion return home on the 26th inst. LONG ISLAND. On and after the Ist of July the Gien Cove Post. member of the same Board, has also tendered his resignation, Senator Ingalis, of the Senate Com. mittee on Indian Affairs, has introduced a resolur tion to abolish the Board. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. Lecocq has nearly succeeded in eclipsing the popularity of Offenbach in Paris. Mr. Maurice Grau has secured the Emily Soldene comic opera company, of London, for the Lyceum Theatre in the fall. Jules Janin’s mother-in-law, Mme. Veuve Huet, died lately at Evreux, leaving 2,000,000 of francs to that fortunate theatrical critic. Alfieri’s great biblical tragedy, “Saul,” will be produced for the first.time in America on Wedaca- day next, with Signor Salvini in the title rdle. Niblo’s offers a new sensation in “The Crypto- gram; or, Lost and Won,” dramatized, with Special reference to scenic effect, from James de Mille’s no, 21. Salvini pluys Conrad in “Morte Civile” to-night. It is one of his best roves, On Friday night “Samson” will be given, on the occasion of Sal- vini’s benefit. Dachauer’s magnificent “Ave Maria,” rendered by Miles. Corradi and Gomien and Messrs, Piueger and Blum, was the musical attraction at St. Ann’s church yesterday. The hot weather is rapidly closing up the Parts theatres. The Odéon, Ambigu, Comique, Chateau q@’Eau, Tour d’Auvergne and Ménus-Piaisirs bave already closed their doors. An amateur operatic company, of Dubuque, lowa, recently essayed the opera of “Belshazzar,” the handwriting on the wall being represented, ‘we suppose, by the bill poster. On the hundredth night of the representation of his “Orphée aux Enfers” in Paris Offenbach led the orchestra in person in the second and fourth acts, | The receipts were 60 greatly augmented by the anticipatory announcement that the management | prevailed upon the composer to conduct several times subsequently. M. Gounod, tn a letter to M. Oscar Comettant, published to the Paris journals, has warmly taken | up the question of rescoring Beethoven, started | vy Herr Wagner. We feel tempted to quote the protest or the French composer against the sug- gested modifications of the orchestral text of the Ninth Symphony, and when M. Gounod begins with the deciaration, “Ido not know the Ninth Choral | Symphony of Beethoven according to Wagner; I | only know it according to Beethoven, and that is quite enough for me,” we may add, “and for all the musical world too.”” The Revue et Gazette Must cale cites @ letter from Dr. Ferdinand Hiller, of Cologne, wh» convicts Herr Wagner of some signal blunders in his study upon the execution of the Ninth Symphony, published tn the Musikatischés Wochenbdiatt. Dr. Hiller cautions musiciang not to accept Herr Wagner’s quotations from the score, as the ‘-infalliole oracle’’ t# quite wrong in his ref- | erences to the andante in the C minor sympiony as to the use of the brass.

During two days of the past week upwards of 18,000 bunches from Oyster Bay were shipped on the Long Island Railroad at the Locust Valley depot alone, and almost equally large amounts were sent to the city from other points on the road. The shipments by steamer were also very large. Although the apple and pear trees at the east end of the island were profusely covered with blossoms, the crop does not promise to be a very large one, for the reason that many of the ‘seta’? have fallen off, This is not the case, however, with the pense trees, which, from present appe: ances, will yield abundantly.
