In the House of Commons last evening Dr. Butt Moved his resolve in :avor of home rule for Ireland. He maintained that home rule involved no dis- turbance of the principles of the constitution. The Imperial Parliament, in which Ireland would stll be represented, would have the power to tax all the resources of Ireland, as well as of Great Britain, Since tne union Ire- land had always been unprosperous and dissatisfied. He acknowledged efforts haa been made to redress these had failed and always would fail, because real liberty was denied. He appealed to the House to adopt bis resolve as the only real remedy. By restoring its constitutional rights cuntent and Prosperity would be established throughout the country. ‘The Attorney General for Ireland gave a decided and emphatic negative to all the propositions which Dr. Butt had advanced. The present pro- posal was infinitely more dangerous to the peace and prosperity of the country than the demand for the repeal of the anion. A collision of the Imperla and Irish Parliament. would be inevitable, particularly on questions of commerce and finance. The proposed action Would endanger the whole commercial and social fabric and the political constitution of both coun- tries. It would be dangerous for Englana, but Practically ruinous for Ireland. He regarded the | agitation of the subject as mischievous and fatile. Viscount Crichton, member for Enniskillen, said the people of Ulster were unanimous in the opinion that home rule was equivalent to civil ‘war, and would inevitably result in the subjuga- tion of Ireland by some toreign Power hostile to England, The Marquis of Hartington said the great bulk of the Irishmen do not desire home rule. The question must be regarded from the imperial standpoint, and the House, having charge of the imperial interests, must reject the mo- tion, whatever be the effect upon the internal @ffairs of Ireland. No consideration would ever induce the liberals to purchase Irish support by sacrificing the slightest interest of the Empire. He felt that any coquetting with the question will im- mediately result in the complete disorganization of the liberal party, and urged the cordial co-opera- tion of Ireland with England instead of the use- Jess agitation of the question of a separate parlia- ment, ‘The debate adjourned until Thursday.

WASHINGTON, June 30, 1874, Thy, Virginius Demand—A_ Crisis Reached in Our Relations with Spain— Admiral Polo To Be Recalled—Position ef Our Government. The announcement in these despatches that our government had made a prompt, peremptory and decided demand upon the Spanish government for indemnity for the lives of the Virginius prisoners Slaughtered at Santiago de Cuba and the conse- quent loss to their families, more emphatic than that made by the British government, aroused anew in this city the feeling which was so preva- lent during the active war preparation last fall. It appeared at first incredible, but those who sought information trom the Sec- retary of State were informed that the startling Statement waa strictly true. Great as has been the agitation Over the publication of this import- ant fact, it will still be more gratifying to know that within the past twenty-four hours the dip- lomatic consideration of the subject has developed & more advanced step than was indicated in these despatches yesterday. It can be stated that our relations with Spain are approaching a climax. | The action f She State Department has been | throughout vei} firm, and nothing has been done without consulvation with and the unqualified sanction of the President. The demand made upon Spain is imperative. Our government will not yield nor submit to further temporizing. That which is most to be regretted is the expected re- call of Admiral Polo as representative of the Spanish government, through whom our diplo- matic relations in a trying hour were most satis- factorily conducted, ana gave promise, by reason of his native spirit of conservatism and sense of justice, of a successful termination of the subject at issue. It is well understood that every gov- ernment has the right to adapt itself to @ change of policy which comes with | & change of influences controlling the home government. Minister Polo, throughout the nego- tlations preceding the acceptance of the protocol | of November 29, 1873, concerning the Virginius affair, represented the Castelar government. A few days alter Minister Cushing presented his cre- dentials as the Envoy of the United States and reaffirmed the demand of our Chargé¢ d’Affaires at Madrid by instruction, that our government would instst upon a prompt settlement of indemnifica- tion for the massacre of the American citizens at Santiago de Cuba, came the announcement that Minister Polo would be recalled. To this aggravation, as it is regarded in official circles, has been added the unreserved and weighty demand of Great Britain for satisfaction for the murder of her subjects. In short, the pre- vailing power in Spain now seeks to traverse the complaint of the United States as set forth in the fourth paragraph of the protocol, which is as follows :— Other reciprocal reclamations to be the subject of consideration and arrangement between the two governments, and in case of no agreement to be the subject of arbitration if the constitutional shscnt of the Senate of the United States be given ereto, All other parts of the protocol, on our part, at least, have been strictly carried out. The Virginius was delivered and the surviving prisoners surren- dered to United States authority. We agreed to proceed against the vessel, which was sunk, and to institute proceedings against any of the persons connected with the vessel, which the Attorney General found he was debarred irom doing by the statute of limitation. The salute to the flag was waived on the ground that the Virgintus did not lawiully fly the American flag. There then | remains but the other reclamation on our part for indemnity in satisfaction for the murder of the American citizens, Against this Spain urges that the rebellion in Cuba has been prolonged through assisiance directly from the United States, by ‘aid and comfort’ given the insurgents, and seta this claim in bar as ‘reciprocal reclamation,” and quite as worthy of arbitration as the Alabama claims, which were heretofore without precedent, tor adjudication. Our government feels somewhat embarrassed that great Britain, without any diplomatic co-operation, should proceed to an unconditional demand for re- dress, though the interests of the Uuited States and Great Britain in this regard are identical It is granted that the Virginius did not lawiully carry the American flag, but our government does not concede that this gave warrant for the inhuman butchery of our citizens, which, according to international law | and the amenities of civilization, was without jus- tification. As the Spanish government has, ap- parently, through its agent, Burriel, rewarded those atrocious acts, our government makes the issue that the interests of humanity demand some retribution for the crime committed, and will insist upon the recognition of the laws and customs of civilized warfare. Until this is done our govern- ment is resolved that the other question of, “what constitutes @ filibuster, and how far a govern- ment shall be held responsible for the unlawful and unrecognized acts of its citizens?’ shall be held as & subject of inferior importance. The Controversy on the Authority of the General of the Army—Genera. Sherman’s Letter to Secretary Belknap. The exact relative functions of the Secretary of | War and the General-in-Chief of the Army have | never, under the present military organization and peace establishment, been clearly defined. ‘The unpleasant discussion on this subject, began by General Grant in a letter to Secretary Stanton, January 29, 1866, was renewed by General Sher- man when he was decorated with the martial in- signia laid asiae by the former when he assumed | the civic mantle of the Chief Magistrate, and it has not, unfortunately, been yet terminated. The anomaly existing is so serious as to make the ofice of the commanding general of the army al- most, if nos quite, asinecure. The Secretary of War, in all his transactions of business with the army, and the transmission of his orders and instructions to its several branches and officials, is accustomed to ignore | entirely the existence of its immediate rightfal head. The Adjutant General, strange to say, is not under the orders of General Sherman, but receives and delivers those of Secretary Bel- knap, without reference to his noménal chief. Thus the august position of General created by Congress, to be filled in succession by the greatest soldiers in the land, instead of an honorable and responsible distinction, is one of idleness and in- action, where the most brilllant military genius | may be sequestered trom any real contact with the activity and importance of public affairs. The first letter of General Sherman on this subject to the Secretary of War has already been extensively published, but the practices of the War Depart- ment have never been altered. The last communi- cation of the General was one in which he asks leave to remove his headquarters and residence from Washington to St. Louis. This is achange | which he had long desired to make, and the Pre: dent had already given to the proposition nis per- sonal assent. The following is the formal and official request of General Sherman :— HEADQUARTERS OF THE er} WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4, 1874, General W. W. BELKNAP, Secretary of War:— GeNERAI—I now have the honor most respect- fully to request that | may be permitted to remove my headquarters to St. Louis, Mo., in the month of October next, in the same manner and to the same extent granted to my predecessor, General Scott, shortly aiter the Mexican war. Strong reasons omctal and personal, impel me to this step, and i make this request at this early date, because six months’ notice 1s required of me in certain neces- sary preliminaries in St. Louw. With great re- spect, your obedient servant, W. T. SHERMAN, General To this the Secretary of War replied as tollows:— | \ { | Wak DgPartMEnt, } Wasiinoton Crry, May 11, 18%, General W. T. Susaman, United States Army, St. Louis, Mo., ia the month of October next, and to inform you that it has been submitted to the President of the United States. With the assent of the President cousent is given to you movin, your headquarters to St. Louis as you desire. A copy of the general order which it t8 proposed to tssue upon tl bject ts herewizh enclosed, You will perceive that it does not change the pres- ent order of business witn this department. It ia only deemed best here to add to its provisions the suggestion which was made and carried out in the case of General Scott—that no material change shall be made in the stations of troops or com- Munders without previous approval by this depart- ment. 1am, General, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. W. BELKNAP, Secretary of War. It thus appears that the change of the army headquarters will inaugurate no alteration in the present position of the General, who must still be a merely passive and ornamental figurehead, to Wear the regalia of rank, bat to exercise none of its authority. The comments of the Chronicle, of this city, however, have dissipated the idea that in the pending controversy there has yet entered any of the unpleasant oficial feellug whtcn is always to be dreaded in such cases, as tending to exhibitions of personal bitterness wiich would disgrace the government. Discharge of Over 400 Female Clerks from the Treasury Department—Sad Scenes—Dismissals from Other Offices of the Government, The Treasury Department employés were con- siderably agitated to-day in view of an anticipated reduction of the force. The ladies were particu- | larly disturved, and collected in groups in various parts of the building discussing the subject, Tais morning the heads of all the bureaus have handed to Secretary Bristow the lists of those to ve dis- missed. The largest discharge was in the Bureau female employés being dispensed with, leaving | 1,200 persons still employed in tnat bureau. The | scene of dismissal was marked by sadness. Four- teen of those discharged fainted when the an- nouncement was made to tiem, and physicians were called to their assistance. Forty clerks were dismissed from the Second Auditor's office, and other discharges will be made to-morrow. It | has been recommended by the officers of the bu- reau that only one of a family be retained, and this recommendation was generally followed. This wholesale discharge will cause much suffer- ing, which, however, will be somewhat alleviated by the payment of two montns’ extra salary to every victim of Congresstoual economy. About twenty-five permanent and the same number of temporary clerks were discharged trom the In- terior Department. This includes a contraction of the force inthe Patent Office, the appropriation for that bureau having been reduced $20,000. The Commissioner has accommodated his business to the circumstances of the situation, although he shows that the government will lose | 'y by the@urtailment of expenditure. ¥ The Ocean Bank Investiy'jdion. The eub-committee appointed by Me House Com- mittee on Banking and Currency to investigate the affairs of the Ocean National Bank of New York concluded their investigation shortly before the adjournment of Congress. No report was made, because the stenographer was unable to Prepare the testimony in season for the considera- tion of the committee. Those who conaucted the examination do not hesitate to say that the evi- dence fully exonerates Mr, Knox, the Comptroller of the Currency, and Mr. Theodore M. Davis, re- ceiver of the bank, and shows that the affairs of the bank have been managed skilfully and honestly and in the interest of the depositors and stock- holders, The receiver's accounts and his state- ment of the assets of the bank disposed of and re- maining on hand were fully examined, verified and approved by F. D. Tappan, President of the Gallatin National Bank of New York; J. 0. Ver- milye, President of the Merchants’ National Bank of New York, and Charles A. Meigs, Bank Ex- aminer. The complaints and charges against the receiver came from persons who obtainea from the bank, before its failure, more than $500,000 on the security of the bonds and stock of the Portage Lake Ship Canal Company, The money so ov- tained has not been repaid, and those who owe it have resisted every attempt of the receiver to col- lect it. Since the receiver first resorted to legal proceedings against these debtors they have made repeated efforts to have him removed. There ts every reason to believe that the receiver will be able to pay the creditors of the bank in full if his Plaus are not interfered with. Large Deticiency in the Internal and the Customs Revenue Receipts. This fiscal year, ending June 30, 1874, finds the internal revenue nearly up to the original esti- Mate Of $103,000,000, being but little 1ess than $600,000 of the amount stated in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury December, 1872. The cus- toms revenue will foot up about $164,000,000, $36,000,000 less than the original estimate. This large deficiency in receipts from customs ts wholly charged to tne panic of September last and tne consequent tinkering with the finances by Con- gress. The Temporary Commission of the Dis- ‘ trict of Columbia—Mr. Blow’s Probable Acceptance. Mr. H. T, Blow arrived here to-day, and, in com- pany with ex-Postmaster General Dennison, had an interview with Secretary Bristow in reference to their duties as Commissioners of the temporary government of the District of Columbia. The tenor of Mr. Blow’s conversation clearly indicated that he will accept the position as one of the Com- missioners, As Mr. Dennison accepted yesterday the only one of the three appointees who has not signified his acceptance 1s ex-Senator Cattell, The President’s Recreation. The President and Mrs, Grant to-night re- turned from West Virginia, and will leave for Long Branqy on Friday. The horses, carr.ages and servants have already been sent from the White House to Long Branch, and as the pri- vate part of the Executive mansion is closed the President will probably stop with some member of Long Branch on Friday. Secretary Fish’s Vacation, Secretary Fish will leave Washington on Friday for his summer residence on the Hudson. The Egyptian Ivory Monopoly. The Department of State has been oficialiy ad- vised of the sale arrival of Colonel Gordon’s expe- dition at Khartoom, in March last, in behalt o! the | Egyptian government. As the result of the expe- | dition the Khedive has issued a decree that the | traMc in ivory is & government monopoly, No person can enter the province witnout a pass from the Governor General at Soudan, viséd by competent authority at Gondokoro, and no person can recruit or organize armed bands in the prov- | ince, Asi ant Secretary Sawyer’s Successor. It is widely asserted here to-day that George B. McCartee, present Superintendent of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, will be appointed Aa- sistant Secretary of the Treasury in place of Mr. Sawyer. The Proposed Reduction of the Number of Navy Yards and Stations. The United States steamer Despatch will leave here to-morrow morning for Norfolk, where she will be docked for repairs, repaired she will return to Washington to taxe on board the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs for ‘an inspection tour of the navy yards and naval stations along the Atlantic coast, with a view to inquire into the expediency of reducing the num- ber of yards and stations, in accordance witha resolution adopted at the last session of the Senate.

Well known to most of our citizens, for many years at the head of the He was bat ides his private usefulness as one of the beat of our merchants of the old class, ne will be chiefly remembered for the munificence he e= hibited in the search for the lost Sir Johp Frankia.’ ‘The sensation created by that event, promoted as it was by the stern determination of Lady Franklim to believe in the safety of her husband, was some- ting more intense than we can now adequately conceive. Both in England and in this country there was the greatest excitement. The ‘eeting Was intensified here by Mr. Grinneli’s offer to ti¢ Out two vessels at his Own expense and commit them to the charge of an officer of tue United States Navy, to participate in the Search for the "lost explorer. Congres# accepted Mr. Grinneli’s plans, and Lieutenant E. J. De Haven was detailed to command the ex- peditton, The late Dr. E. K. Kune accompanied the expe‘ition as surgeon. The vessels were named the Advance and the Rescue, being hermaphrodite brigs of 144 and v1 tons respectively, and they were espectally fitted out in ail re- Spects for service in the Arctic regions. Besides the ofMfcers of whom there were four on each vesse! the Advance carried thirteem men and the Rescue twelve. The expedition sailed from this city on the 22d of May, 1850, Mr. Grin- nell and bis sons accompanied the little fect iar out to sea, and he only parted company with the heroic party he had sent om @ dangerous mission ou the 26th, re- turning in the pilot boat Washington. The rest Of the expedition is history untii tis return, when Henry Grinnell was first on the pier to wel- come the returning officers and men. One of the results of this expedition was the discovery of Grinnell Land in latitude 75 deg. 24 min. 21 sec. north. This event took piace Sep- tember 20, 1860, Dr. Kane was the bistoe rian of this expedition. It must be remem- bered to Mr. Grinnet!’s credit that he not only bore the entire expense of the voyage of these vessels, Congress doing nothing except to allow officers of the navy to undertake the expe- dition, but that he also contributed largely to fie second Grinnell expedition in 1853, which resulted in the discovery of the open Polar Sea. The late George Peabody aiso contributed to this expedition, which was under the cofamand of Dr. Kane, The narrative of! this expedition was also written by Dr. Kane, and his great fame was the result of bis own exertions and Mr. Grin- neil’s generosity, For some years Mr. Grinnell lived in retirement, and the news of his death will be @ sad surprise to his many friends at home avd abroad, tor a broad and Wise charity ike nts makes friends besides those who are abie to take the generous giver by the hand, Donna Rosa Di Ruffia. From Italy comes news of the death, at Robolla, of Donna Rosa, née Contessa de Robella, the widow of the Marquis di Ruffla. This lady, who was greatly esteemed, was the mother of Krane cesco Filippi, the well known tenor, at present re- he United States. Mr. Charles H. Warren, of Boston. Boston, Mass., June 30, 1874.

MICHEL DOMINGUE, TREASURY CORRUPTION. The government of Hayti intends to prosecute vigorously a great number of high officia's con- nected with the Treasury for de/aications, mismanagement and dishonesty. Heaaing the list is M, Charles Haentjens, formerly Secretary of that department, it ap- pears that, either unable or unwilling to give an account of the various transactions which took place during nis administration, and in which, as it is alleged, he is implicated, he asked and received the protection of the British Legation at Port au Prince. The government having re- quested his delivery to the proper authority; the Minister, considering Mr. Haeutjens as a litical offender, declined to surrender his igé, and referred the case to the British government, It is hoped that this delicate matter will be ami- cably adjusted, and that diplomatic skill will suc- ceed in keeping unimpaired the good relations | now existing between the two countries. Mr. stephen Preston, Minister Pienipotentiary of Hayti to the United states, is retained in nis pres- ent position, TREATY OF PRACR WITH ST. DOMINGO. Acommission from St. Domingo lately arrived at Port au Prince to conclude and ratify upon lib- eral basis a treaty of peace, amity and commerce between the two sister republics. The Dominican envoys sent to that effect are Sefiors Carlos Nouel, Gabriel Garcia, Emiliano Tejera and Juan Zatra. There is nu doubt that a close alliance between these two governments will put an end to the po- litical dissensions and to the selfisn ambition of military adventurers, Who for 80 wany years have desolated St. Domingo. A new era of progress, prosperity and imdustry will result from that THE PROHIBITIONISTS’ NOMINATION, Letter of Acceptance from Ex-Governor Myron H. Clark, ALBAny, N.
