NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1874—TRIPLE’ SHEET. WASHINGTON. Resolutions Impeaching Judge Du- rell Reported to the House. INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. Restoration of the Franking Privi- lege Proposed and Defeated. The District of Columbia Government. Wasntnaton, June 17, 1876, Sedge Durell Impeached by the House Judiciary Committee—Resolutions Pre- wentea to the Housc—Opposing Influ- ences. To the great surprise of the friends of sudge Durell in Washington, Mr. Wilson, of the House ‘Judiciary Committee, to-day reported a resolution that Judge Durell ought to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, the specific charges being the manner in which matters in bankruptcy Rave been disposed of by Judge Durell, and sec- ond, his ‘midnight order which gave Kellogg and his party possession of the State House. The charges of drunkenness and fraudulent trans- gotions do not enter into the case, The report ac- companying the resolution substantially includes all that bas been published in the HERALD in con- mection with this matter. Tne conduct of As- signee Norton, in making extortionate and out- rageously exorbitant charges against bankrupts, i8 exposed, and quotations from the testi- mony given to show how Norton, with Durell’s sanction, conducted the business. ‘The intimacy of Judge Durell witn Norton, while the press of New Orleans was charging him with corruption and misdemeanor, seems to the com- @mittee as evidence of high crimes and cannot be ignored. In regard to the midnight order the committee have fully gone over the testimony and denounce it as an act unparaleled in the history of the judiciary of the country and meriting im- peachment. The majority of the committee— Messrs, Butler, Wilson, White, Jewett, Eldridge and Potter—signed the report. Messrs. Tremain, “Ward, Cessna and Frye made a minority report, Protesting against the impeachment, and Judge Poland presented his individual opinion in the form of a protest against proceeding further, although he voted in favor of the impeachment of | Durell. Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana, has ar- Tived here, and all the art of Louisiana political management is to be used to defeat any objection- able action on the resolution by the House this session. The Senate Finance Committee's Amendment to the Hqnse Tariff Bill. The House Tariff bill is. amended by the Senate ¥inapce Committee in the following particulars :— fo take onset on the Ist of Jury 184, “in value” bFO inserted {f the six mection vo determine the dutiable rate of silk mixed goods.

Executive Approval of the Termination of the Treaty with Belgium. The President has approved the joint resolution providing for the termination of the treaty be- tween the United States and His Majesty the King ofthe Belgians, concluded at Washington July 17, 1858, The Mexican Depredations on the Texan Border—No Redress Yet Obtained for $15,000,000 Destroyed. Colonel Thomas B. Robb appeared before the | House Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day and | made a statement that rancheros living on the | Texas border continue to be the victims of Mex- | Acans, who depredate on their stock to as great an | extent as heretofore, and sometimes even commit | murder. The deacenis being sudden, the ran- | cheros, who are widely separated, have no ade- | quate defence, and therefore call on the govern- ment to protect them. Colonel Robb is familar with sach depredations, having been one of tne | commissioners appointed two years ago to ex- mune witnesses and report upon the subject. The | report showed that the Texans had suffered to the extent of at least $15,000,000, but no redress has as yet been offered them. The committee were much | interested in Colonel Robb’s narration, and will at their next meeting take the subject into con- sideration. ‘International Arbitration Before Resort to War. Judge Orth, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported back the resolution offered in the House a few weeks since by Mr. Boardman Smith, Tequesting the President and Senate to incorpo- Fate in future treaties with foreign Powers a pro- vision that war shall not be declared by either of the contracting Powers until an effort shall have ‘Deen first made to settie the alleged cause of offence by arbitration, which was passed. If the President and Senate shall heed this request of | the people's representatives the happy result of* #ach @ treaty provision can hardly be questioned. (important Nominations Confirmed. ‘The Senate, in executive session, to-day con- firmed the following nominations:—Richard L, Hoxie, member of the Board of Public Works of | the District of Columbia, vice Adolph Cluss, re- moved; James J, Cooper, of Pennsylvania, Consul at Seville. together with all the nominations of | Consuls and Consuls General sent to the Senate yesterday, and the foilowing:—Robert M.

Mr, BourwE called up the House bill repealing all revenue tax on savings banks having no capl- tal and where investments are made solely for the benefit of depositors, and the bill was passed. Mr. SPRAGCE, (rep) of R. L, entered a motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill to provide for the establishment of an international commis- sion of the Maritime Powers to lay down ocean courses for steam vessels and otherwise to pro- vide for the increased safety of sea travel was passed. The Senate then, at twenty minutes to seven, ad- journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, June 17, 1874. Mr. WooprorD, (rep.) of N. Y., moved to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution authorizing the President to negotiate with all civilized Powers for the establishment of an international system of arbitration, whereby matters in dispute between governments may be adjusted by arbitration and without recourse to war. Agreed to. GOVERNMENT FOR THE DISTRIOr OP COLUMBIA. Mr. WILSON, (rep.) of Ind., Chairman of tne Com- mittee of Investigation of the Affairs of the Dis- trict of Columbia, called up the bill reported from the joint committee yesterday for the government of the District of Columbia. Pending the consideration of the bill, Mr. POLAND, (rep.) of Vt., moved to take up and pags the Sen- ate bill prohibiting the publication of tne revised statutes in the newspapers at the expense of the United States, Agreed to, Mr. WILSON proceeded vo advocate his bill and to answer questions in relation to it. Mr. BsCK, (dem.) of Ky., intimated that he wished to offer an amendment to reduce the rate of taxation from three to two per cent in the city of Washington, and from two and a half to two | per cent in Georgetown, and the District generally to one per cent. The rates proposed, he said, would amount to confiscation in many cases. Mr. WILSON replied tnat if the gentleman from Kentucky knew exactly the financial condition of the District he would find that the committee did ot propose any more tax than was necessary, Mr. Bass, (rep.) of N. Y., another member of the joint select committee, followed Mr. Wilson in fur- ther explanation of the bill. As to the criticism that the bill imposed a double tax for this year, he denied that there was any truth in it. The last tax levied in the District was collectable on the 1st of July, 1873, and of that tax more than $1,000,000 was uncollected. He declared that the rates of taxation provided—three per cent in Washington, two anda half per cent in peers and two per cent in the other portions of the District—were the lowest rates that could be imposed in order to Tredeem the District from bankruptcy. Several propositions in regard to the taxation of personal property having been suggested by Mr. Parker, ~(vep.) of Mo., Mr. Fort, (rep.) of Ill, Mr. Small, rep) of New Hampshire and Mr. G. F. Hoar (rep.) of Mass. Mr, Bass declined to admit them, stating that the commissioners provided for in the act were to report a general scheme of gov- ernment for the District, and he did not think it rignt that they should be constrained or re- There had been no assessment of personal property hitherto in the District, and the making of such an assess- ment would require several months, while it was necessary to have the taxes collected immedi- ately. At the close of Mr. Bass’ remarks Mr. WiLson, of Ind., moved the previous question on the passage of the bill. Seconded—94 to 70. The main question was then ordered—yeas 134 to nays 111—and the bill was passed by a vote of 216 yeas to 22 nays. PEACEFUL ARBITRATION THE NATION'S POLICY. Mr. ORTH, (rep.) of Ind., Chairman of the Oom- mittee on Foreign Affairs, reportea the following resolution, which was adopted without dissent:— Whereas, War is at all times destructive of the mate- rial interests of a Racer demoralizing in its tendencies and at variance withan enlightened public. sentiment; and whereas, the differences between nations should, in the inverest ot humanity and fraternity, be adj possible, by interuational arbitration ; therefore, Resatvod, That the people of the United States, being devowd to the policy of peace with all mankind, enjoy ing its blessings and oping for ie bermanance and its um- versal adoption, hereby, through their Representatives in Congress, recom such arbitration asa national substitute for war, they further recommend to the t aking power of the government to provide, if " LI, (rep.) of Me., moved to lay the ane jament of Mt, Feeloghuysen on the table, reaty-mi ing p' ja fer in treaties mauve between the Pencepaie, iat hereaior gn trenton moat teyea the Glared hy either of the contracting parties againgt the ed that | other fforts have bee: tlsted Sta Gidiculty by unpartial arbitrations .

He stated in Teply to an in that the lee of pension agents bh ered ry te bh at twenty-five cents Yoreach Mr. GARFIELD, rp.) Of Ohio, from the confer- ence gormmnities on ‘, 18 Leese, ae propriation made a report, action on which was post- poned till to-morrow, wed IMPBACHMENT RESOLUTIONS AGAINST JUDGE DURELL. Mr. WILSON, (rep.) of Ind., from the Judici Committee, made @ report in the impeachme: pred of Jadge Durell, of Louisiana, with resolu- First—That Judge Durell be impeached tor high crimes and misdemeanors, ‘That a committee of two be appointed by the House Fo go to the Senate, and in the name of the House of Representatives impeach him, and inform the Senate that the House will in due ime exhibit parucular articles of impeachment, and make good the same, and demand that the senate take order for the Bppee Deg 3 Judge Durell to answer such impeachment; an Third—Vhat a committee of seven be appointed to prepare articles of impeachment, with power to send for persons and papers and wo take testi- mony. THB DISSENTING REPORTS, Mr. TREMAIN, rep.) of N, Y., presented a minor- be ort sigmed by himself, Mr. Frye, (rep.) of fe.; Mr, a, (rep.) of Pa., and Mr. vard, (rep.) of IlL., dissenting from the conclusions of the majority of the committee, and recommending that all proceedings against Judge Durell be dis- continued. He also presented another minority report, signed by Mr. Poland, rep.) of Vt., stating, first, that in regard to Judge Durell’s midnight or- der, he believed that the Judge had no proper legal jurisdiction to make it, but still that he (Mr. Poland) could not find that the Judge acted cor- ruptly or with any beliet that he was going beyond his jurisdiction. The whole people were excited. The times were violent and turbulent, and judi- cial calmness and correctness could hardly be ex- pected. The second point of Judge Poland’s report is that the evidence seems to establish that some officers of Judge Durell’s court were ‘lity of Clearly corrupt practices, and that the Judge was not watchful to scrutinize their conauct, but that there is no claim that he ever shared in any of the roceeds of their gains and no direct evidence that ie knowingly sanctioned or approved their action. Then, that while the evidence, obtained by a sub- stantially ex parte examination only, secured a bare majority of the committee, it did not appear that the public tnterest would be furthered by pre- senting articles of impeachment, ‘The various reports were ordered to be printed and recommitted, and then, at a quarter-past five ornLOOK) me House took a one ry hait-past even. The evening segsop was for business trom the Committee on ‘Naval Miata Evening Session. In the evening session, Mr, Haskins, (rep.) of N. Y., in the chatr as Speaker pro tem, Mr. GoocH (rep.) of Mass., trom the Committee on Naval Affairs, reported @ substitute for the Senate bill to encourage the establisiment of public marine | schoois. The substitute was agreed to and the bill passed. It authorizes the secretary of the Navy, on the application of the Governor of a State, toiurnixh a suitable vessel of the navy, with | all her apparatus, charts, books and instruments | | } of navigation, to be used for the beneft of any nautical school or coliege at the orts of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, itimore, Norfolk or San Francisco, on condition that there shall be maintained there a school, or the branch of a school, for ye instruc- tion of youths in navigation, seamanship, marine enginery and other matters veer epe | 2, the proper construction, equipment and sailing of Mat and it authorizes tne President to detail OmcéTs OF the:navy as superintendents or instruc- tors of such schools. Mr. Gooon also reported a bill to pay the widow of Admiral Dahigren $50,000 tor the use by the government of his inventions in ordnauce. Ke- Jerred to the Committee of the Whole on a point of order raised by Mr. HOLMAN, (dem.) of Ind. Mr. ARCHER, (dem.) of Md., from the same com- mittee, reported back the Senate bill ior the better government of the navy. . It provides that any officer promoted in course to fill a va- cancy in the next em grade shall be entitied to the pay of such higher grade from the date he takes rank therein. It prohibits the making of any allowance to any officer dismissea trom the service and restored thereto, under the twelfth section of the act of the 8d of March, 1866, to a greater amount thay six months’ leave pay, unless it shall appear that the officer demanded, as oiten as once in six months, & trial as provided in that act. It repeals that part of the act of the 4th of July, 1864, which aliows fifty cadet engineers to be appointed by the Secretary of the Navy, and it provides that cadet engineers shall hereaiter be appointed an- | nually by the Secretary of the Navy, not to exceed | twenty-live each year. Mr. MYBRS, (rep.) of Pa., from the same com- mittee, moved to go into a committee of the whole | on the bill for the relief of the officers and crew of | the United States ships Wyoming ana the Takiang. Pending the motion the House, at hall-past nine o’clock P, M., adjourned. THE BRICKLAYERS’ STRIKE. | Pee kG nee A Strike That Is Not a Strike. It is very hard to wring the downright truth about the bricklayers’ strike from either employer oremployed. The men deny that they are on strike, and the bosses assert that they have no men locked out, yet some of the works visited yes- terday by a HERALD reporter were found to be bare of bricklayers. The fact of the matter is that during the panic last year, in the winter, and this spring, the dul- | ness of the times compelled tradesmen as well as laborers to work at any figure they could get. The contractors took advantage of this state of things and reduced the wages of their hands. Among + others, the brickiayers suffered a reduction from $4 per day to $3 50. The times | have now changed much- for the better, | work is brisk all over the city, and craftsmen as | well as laborers are putting forth their best efforts | to get back their old ante-panic rate of wages. | They say that when the contractors estimated jor their present jobs labor was paid at the old rates, and that, therefore, a return to them ta i ONLY AN ACT OF JUSTICE | to the workingmen and takes notaing out of the pockets of the employers, Bosses contend that all sorts of merchandise and the necessaries of lite are falling rapidly in price, such commodities simply keeping pace with the gold market, and that | ‘wages, a8 a matter of course, should follow the game descending scale of value. The work- men, on the contrary, point to the fact that sie! do not get $4, as is re-/| | ported, ut only $2; because out of a/ whole year but about six months can be worked | by the tradesman. ‘The bricklayers also say that house rent and many other important items of lamily expense are as high tn price now as at any previous time since the close of the war, and there- fore it 18 Impossible to keep themselves in even a ae decent condition if their wages are re- juced, A reporter inquired from the foreman bricklayer of the Delaware & Lac! ‘anna Vo.’s building, on Cortlandt and Churcn streets, the state oi the strike, and received the following graphic reply:— | “We hatn’t got no strike here, no how. Unly a few men knocked off; you see they thot they'd get more wages; that’s all. Some twenty on em quit day before yesterday. Guess we'll get along without ’em.”? All of Mr. Kiernan’s hands are at work on the Dry Deck Company’s building, corner of Third street and Bowery. The men are ed there, as | wellas at Thirty-ninth street an ixth avenue and State street, all under the same employer, are receiving $4. e men are all trade unionists. The question with the bricklayers Is one of wages only, and has nothing to do with trade union- ism. Efforts are being made by employers to cap- ture all the able-bodied bricklayers who land iu Castle Garden. The best estimates obtained sets the strength of the brickiayers in this city at 2.500. The unions in New York have as yet made no appeal to the trade throughout the country, but will do so if the bosses remain firm in their refusal to raise the Wages. The society now work at the rate of $7. the members out of ‘here are three English | Speak: nd two German unions in the city. The kers contradict the statement made in the Mechanics and Traders’ Exchange in saying that the men were returning to workat $3 50 a day. They also state that only a minority of the two hundred master bricklayers in the city attend any | meetings of the Exchange. OBITUARY, Lord James C. P. Murray. The Edinburgh Courant of June 5 announces the death of Lora James Charles Plantagenet Murray, | brother of the sixth Duke of Athol. He was car- ried off by an attack of fever and jaundice. Lord James Murray resided at Otterburn, in the county of Northumberland, and was highly esteemed in | the neighborhood for his numerous works of char- ity and liberality.

The Graduates Take Leave of the Academy. PROFESSOR WAYLAND’S ADDRESS. Standings ot the Class. Third THE GRAND FINALE. West Point, June 17, 1874. It rained furiously here early this forenoon, and there was a general gloom in consequence among the guests at the hotel, It had been arranged by the powers that be that the ceremony of awarding the diplomas should take place on the grass plot beneath the oaks which stand like gigantic senti- nels before the little stone chapel, but the move- ment of the clouds and the storm generally vetoed the whole proceeding, despite the fuct that the most puissant ruler on the post had duly declared in a general order that it should take place exactly in the way he desired it to take place. There w: much pouting of pretty lips and many gentle re- marks on the partof the stern sex about the fa- tality which has of late years attended any at- tempt to give an outdoor send-off to the boys in gray. But the Supétintendent had codated With- out bis host, and, as wet grass and mud under foot and drippings of rain from overhanging tree branches are not always conducive to enthusiasm when one has to put up with tnem at college com- | Mencements, ne bowed to the decision of his | irresistible adversary and changed the programme of the day. It was this decision that brought about the exercises in the chapel itself insteaa of out of doors in its immediate neighborhood. Fortunately, as the hour drew nigh for the commencement of the ceremony, the sun struggled out through the clouds and in a few minutes the sky was bright and cheerful and nothing but the sparkling drops of rain in the grass remained to tell of the storm which every- body had believed in the morning would make the whole day long a miserable one. THE GRADUATION CEREMONY. The hour fixed for the ceremonies was a quarter to eleven o’clock and promptly to the minate the cadet corps under arms arrived, escorting the graduates to the chapel. The matn aisies were reserved for the happy forty-one and their guards of honor, while the side aisles were given up to visitors. These latter did not long remain un- occupied, and by the time Colonel Ruger gf00d up to introduce Professor Wayland, the President of the Board of Visitors, who had been selected to address the graduates, there was not even standing room anywhere outside the altar railings. The professor delivered his address first, and tnen the standings of the graduates were an- nounced; after which Colonel Hall, the Adjutant, | read each one’s name off, and as he stepped for, ward Colonel Ruger handed him his diploma. The band of the post enlivened the proceedings with the Strains of “The Star Spangled Banner,” ‘Hail Columbia” and ‘Yankee Doodle.” PROFESSOR WAYLAND’S ADDRESS. ‘The following is the address of Professor Way- land:— GENTLBXEN OF THE GRADUATING CLAss—The oficial duty which your Superintendent has re- aust me to perform is one which I might well | rink from discharging ii I consulved merely the | question of my own fitness for the position or | remembered only the men eminent in civil and milltary lie who have addressed your predeces- sors, and yet there is that in the occasion and the audience which could hardly fail to quicken the | Most sluggish pulse and kindle into enthusiasm | the coldest heart. 1 do nof envy any man who could look npon these wards of our vation, these guardians of their country’s honor, these possible martyrs in their country’s cause, without being more than willing to say a few words, how- adequate, however simple at least a few words of kindly encouragement of hearty At the same time I can weil understand that young men to whom doses of ad- vice in its most concentrated form have been ad- ministered daily during four long years would gladiy dispense with another prescription of the Same medicine frum @ new physician, especially when he represents a different school of practice— the school of the civilian.

West Point is not @ finishing school, This phrase should be the exclusive property of those seats of learning which are trequented by fashionable young ladies. To what end, then, you naturally ask, have been this toil, this self-denial, this submission to inflexiple regulations? Have we acquired no knowledge? Are we not wiser than when we entered the Academy? Undoubtedly you are wiser; but, after all, this is the least im. | portant result of your labors.

Why should there be a different rule for the mil- itary chieftain inembryo? You would laugh me to scorn if I should assert that the profession of the lawyer or the pnysician calls into exercise a higher order of ability than the professton of the soldier. You would hasten to remind me that throughout all history the successiul warrior on land or sea towers above bis contemporaries of every calling; and, for illustration, to go no far- ther back than our own century, you would point me to Napoleon and Wellington, to Nelson and Farragat, to Grant and Moltke. ir this be true, and at all events you believe it to be true, take to ourselves the lesson which it teaches.

[Paris (June 5) correspondence of London Times.j, Two of the shining lights Of thé Radical Left, or Republican Union, as itis called, yesterday mada Speechea, both of whick were successfal, although in diferent degrees. After Viscount de Meaux, a very respectable nobleman, but @ rather weart. some speaker, had discoursed at considerabia length to a not very attentive House, M. Lonid Blanc followed him in the Tribune. M. Blanc’q speeches are apt to smell of the lamp, and that of yesterday was not exempt from the reproach; bal Still it will probably be classea with his happles' oratorical efforts, He taxed “the conservative with seeking an ill-disgnised suppression of ant, versal suffrage, and he found some eloquent words to denounce the attempt. He exciaimed:— What! for nearly twenty-six years universal suf frage has been practised in this country of 10,000,000 electors, and it is @ principle thus fir: anchored io the political habits of the countr; that you would attack—you who derive from thal very principle, and from it alone, all the powel ‘ou possess and the position you now occupy!

How many times must there be displayed to you the fatal chain which linkea to- | gether the dismemberment of universal suffrage | and the dismemberment of France? If in Decem- ber the brave citizens who rose and died for tha constitution had got all the nation at their back it was because the deluded people took tie man 0! the coup d'état tor the man of universal suffrage. it Was because to those who summoned it to arms the people replied, “Never will we defend an Assembly which has deprived us of universalj suffrage agains: a Prince who restores it to us.’ The presentation by the Ministers of Louis Bona- pan’ of the law o! the 31st of May was a snare ald for the Deople, There were two snares.

Consequently there were no coronation ceremonies and no award of prizes as was intendea, and another day, the 2d of July, was appointed to conclude the affair, In the evening the part was brilliantly illuminated, and the day’s festivities were wound up by a summer night’ festival. The prizes to be awarded are very numerous and are mostly gold aie ranging from, $60 to $100; the King’s prize is a gold medal pnd $100 in gold, about by the petulant interruptions o1 M.
