Government Claim of a Victory in Battle—The Bevolutionists Reinforced and Mov- ing Toward Buenos Ayres. MONTEVIDEO, Nov. 2, 1874. Advices from Buenos Ayres state that a report bas reached there, which was not officially con- firmed, that a battle took place on the 26th ult, in | the province of Buenos Ayres near the mouth of | the Rio Salado between the government troops | and a body of rebels under General Mitre. The reaai 1s said to have been uncertain, although the government forces claimed a vic- tory. General Mitre’s forces retired and effected a Junction with those of Ribas, when both again marched toward the city of Buenos Ayres, A DECISIVE ENGAGEMENT AT HAND. + The government troops still retained their original positions about the capital, and a decisive : engagement was hourly expected. THE GERMAN DIPLOMATIC QUARREL. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2, 1874, Baron Schlozer Denies the Arrest at Bismarck’s Order of Von Arnim’s Under Secretary in St. Louis—A Silly Canard. Baron Schiozer, the German Minister, explicitly and unequivocally denies that there is the slight- est {oundation for the statement published to-day, ‘to the effect that a young German, formerly Under Secretary of Count Von Arnim, had been arrested in tnis country at the instigation of Prince Bis- ‘marck, and while denying tn toto the allusion to the Legation declares that nothing could be more absurd than the published canard. It was sug: gested that probably the report had its origin for ‘effect on the elections, though the Baron could ‘mot understand which political party would be ‘benefited by it. The counterpart to such monsense, the Baron thinks, wonld be the publication in Europe to-morrow that thé President, through the State Department, had ordered all the foreign bound steamers sailing from New York on Saturday last not to land pas- sengers on arriving out, but to return to New York, so that the nameless young German, myste- riously arrested by order of Prince Bismarck and with the Baron’s connivance in St. Louis, and ‘who deposited the important papers with a name- ‘lesa German merchant in New York, might be required to deliver mimself to Mr. Lanergan on ‘board the nameless steamer on some nameless day, but before Congress meets in December. Such a despatch would contain, in the Baron's opinion, as much truth as the one which occasions the denial. A OBEDIT MOBILIER OASE, Speaker Blaine and Serg it-at-Arms Ordway Sued for False Imprisonment of a Contumacious Witness. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1874. In the Circuit Court to-day the cases of Joseph B. stewart against James G, Blaine and the same against N. G.

PANAMA, Oct. 24, 1874, Business in Panama te still dull. The Assembly has entirely disapproved of the treaty made with Costa Rica as to boundaries, and blames the Colombian Minister for want of patriot- tam in agreeing to it. os POLITICAL EXCITEMENT AT PANAMA, Yesterday, the 28d inst., was a day of alarm and excitement in this city. he cause does not seem altogether clear. His Excellency Presi- dent Miro assumed the chief command of the State militia, General Espinoza having resigned, while Sefior J. M. Bermudez assumed the post of Secretary General of State, left vacant by Dr. Pablo Arozemena’s resignation. Toward noon there was a rush of people in the Cathedral Plaza and about the streets leading from it. The Police were posted at different places in the square as @ precautionary meagure, All this had the odor of coming revolution abont it, but it is to be hopea the excitement will blow over soon. THE PRESIDENCY, Dr. Ratael Mufiez, of Carthagena, is named as one of the candidates for next President of the Union, 8 jalvador. The people and government of this State have come to the conclusion that with respect to the concordat the country is better without It, Tequiring only a free Church and a free State. Guatemala. The government has taken measures to prevent the inundations with which the towns of Antigua, Pashares, San Lorenzo and other places are threatened. Some hundreds of laborers are em- ployed on the works necessary to obtain this object. Honduras. The government has accepted the invitation, and will contribute to the United States Centen- ary festival to be held at Philadelphia. Nicaragua. The people of this Staté are taken up with Pres- idential elections. They were to take place on the 4th inst, The two candidates, Chamorro and Selva, were considered the two extremes, and that which soever was elected would bring trouble to the country. Selva was an ally of the Jesuits and his election, says a Nicaragua paper, would be a casus belli for all Central America. The authorities are taking all measures possible so that tae people shall not be disturbed at the polls. ve a. The revolution continues in Venezuela. Coro bas been taken by the Blues, who Mave also laid slege to Maracaivo in force. Peru. Up to the 14th of October the Republic seemed to enjoy a state of perfect tranquillity. Sentence has been pronounced on the three Military men accused of having murdered Presi- dent Balta tn prison in July, 1872, Their names are Najar, Patifio and Espinozco. The first two are to draw lots which shall be executed. The third is to have fifteen years’ penal servitude. The bill to allow Jesuits to enter and settle in the Repubtic was thrown out without a debate. The treaty with China has received the appro- bation of the Senate, as has also the Postal Con- vention dratted with the Argentine Confederation, Chili, Conaiderable excitement, says the Merourto, of Valparaiso, of the 2d inst., has occurred in Uhili in consequence of the demand made by the Eng- lish government on account of the indictment and detention of Captain Hyde, of the lost steamer Tacna. BRITISH DEMANDS. Mr. Runbold has addressed to the Chilian govern- ment a note communicating certain instructions from the British government relative to the affairs of the Tacna. The note enjoing upon him to demand of the Chilian government :— First—That it express the regret it must nat- urally have experienced at the illegal action of the Chilian authorities in arresting Oaptain Hyde. Second—That it grant an indemnity for the losses Captain Hyde may have sustained by bis arbitrary imprisonment. Third—vhat, as regards the amount of the in- demnity, there being no ground for demanding a large sum, inasmuch as it appears from the facts of the case that Captain Hyde was in @ measure responsible for the loss of the vessel, 1t leaves it to the discretion of the Cnilian government ¢o fix the amount of the indemnity, On this. subject the Mercurio turther sa; “The government of Chilt has submitted this demand to the Supreme Court of Jastice, and we are assured ‘hat the tribunal has examined the matter and de- cided that in its judgment there was no illegality in the proceedings adopted towards Captain Hyde; that the opinion of the Board of Trade and the Crown lawyers of England is the sel{-same, sustained by ‘the Supreme Tribunal of Chili, which put an end to the judicial investi- ration which it was indispensable to make in order to ascertain whether the offence charged against Captain Hyde, came or not within the cognizance of the Chilian courts,” A treaty was signed on the 18th of August last, at La Paz, between the representatives of Onill and Bolivia, which, it is hoped, will settle the differences between the two countres, EXPLORATION OF THE UPPER AMAZON. Lima, PERU, Oct. 13, 1874, Admiral Tucker, now in New York preparing the maps of his extended explorations of the Upper Amazon, arrived within a comparatively short distance, on those unknown rivers, of the Peruvian fort of Chanchamayo. THE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED, as proposed by President Pardo’s government, ‘was to determine the easiest means of communi- cation between the projected terminus of the great Transandine Railway, more popularly Known as the “Oroya,’”’ and the headwaters of the Peruvian afluents of the Amazon. This was in Part elucidated by Admiral Tucker, but for a more perfect knowledge of the savage regions lying be- tween the point reached by the Admiral’s party and the fort @ new expedition has been organized by the government to carefally explore the rivers Parena, Chanchamayo and Tambo, The peo tes is composed of an engineer of the Re- lic, Mr. Wertheman, Major Rivera, ten rifie- suficient number of boatmen, chain- bearers, &c. The party will “take to the water,’ literal speaking, 1n the primitive canoes employed in tna! lar section of the Republic, at the fort of Chancha- mayo, or San Ramon, as it is sometimes called; will descend the river to the confluence of the Tambo with the Urabamba, from whence the Ucayali runs in broad and nevigapre stream to Iquitos, where it joins the South American Father oi Waters, the great Amazon. THE MAIN OBJECT of the exploration is to discover whether it may be eect to bring smali steamers trom Iquitos to the junction formed by the river Parena with the river Tambo, fifteen miles east irom the Fort San Ramon, thus connecting, alvhough in an indirect manner, by water, the outlying districts of the Republic with her frontier on Brazil.

WASHINGTON. WaAsHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1874, Reduction of Tonnage Rates Through the Suez Canal. ‘The Treasury Department has issued circulars to Collectors of customsand others, asking them to bring to the attention of masters and owners of American vessels likely to pass through the Suez Canal the fact that the imperial government of Turkey and the Suez Canal Company have adopted the suggestion of the International Tonnage Com- mission, held at Constantinople in the year 1873, in regard to the unification of tonnage and thede- duction of one franc per ton from the. regular canal dues in the case of all vessels which are measured according to the Moorsom system now in use in this country, and which are provided with a special certificate by competent authority, exhibiting the gross tonnage of the ship and the deductions therefrom authorized by the regu- lations of the commission. In order that the owners of Amertcan vesseis may take advantage of the reduction of the ordinary rates of dues, under the circumstances mentioned, the Treasury Department has prepared a form for aspecial certificate, which will be furnished by collectors when applied for by masters or owners of such vessels proceeding abroad. Appropriations Asked for by the Engi- neers’ Department. General Humphreys, in nis report, asks for the following, among other appropriations for the Pacific coast for the year ending June, 1875:—For the fort at Fort Point, $50,000; fort at Lime Point, $50,000; fort at Alcatraz Island, $50,000. No ap- Propriations are asked tor batteries at San José and Angel Island, the fort at San Diego and for the removal of Rincon Rock. An appropriation Of $20,000 is asked for the defences at the mouth of Columbia River. The Board of Engineers for the Pacific Coast has completed the examination of the project for tne protection of the rear of the per- Manent seacoast defence at Fort Point, Lime Point and at Alcatraz Island, and the examina- tion of San Diego Harbor for the purpose of ascer- taining the amount of sediment brought into the harbor by the floods in San Diego River. In refer- ence to their examination of the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Tulare valieys, in Cailfornia, with reference to the irrigation of the valleys, the en- gineers say the cost of such irrigation would be very great, but the value of the lands would thereby be increased many times, The work should not be undertaken without aid from the general government or State government, and there should first be an experimental survey. Redemption of the Five-Twenty Bonds of 1862. The Secretary of the Treasury, in the thirteenth call for the redemption of five-twenty bonds of 1862, says :— “I hereby give notice that the principal and accrued interest of the bonds hereinbefore desig- nated, known as five-twenty bonds, will be paid at the Treasury of the United States, in the city of Wasbington, on and after the 2d day of February, 1875, and that the interest on said bonds will cease on that day. That is to say, coupon bonds known as the fourth series, act of February 25, 1862, dated May 1, 1862, as follows:—Coupon ponds, $50, No. 4,201 to No. 4,961, both inclusive; $100, No, 6,201 to No. 10,600, both inclusive; $500, No. 5,001 to No. 7,000, both inclusive; $1,000, No. 14,901 to No. 20,000, both inclusive. Total, $5,000,000. The amount outstanding (embraced in the numbers as above) 18 $5,000,000 of coupon bonds,” The Torpedo System. The Board of Engineers, in their report on the subject of torpedoes for harbor defence, say that, in their opinion, the system 13 ‘satisfactory, and that stores for applying it should be collected at the depot at Millett’s Point. Ignorance in the South—Report and Recommendation of the Commissioner of Education. The annual report of the Hon. John Eaton, United States Commissioner of Education, makes avolume of 870 printed pages. He concludes as follows:—“In view of the appalling number of chilaren growing up in ignorance on account of the impoverished condition of portions of the country in which slavery hasbeen lately abolished, and in view of the special difficulties in the way of establishing and maintaining therein schools for universal education, and in consideration of the need of immediate action in this regard, I recom- mend that the whole ora portion of the net pro- ceeds arising from the sale of public lands shall be setaside as @ special fund and its interest be divided annually, pro rata, vetween the people of the several States and Territories and the District of Columbia, under such provisions in regard to the amount, allotment, expenditure and super- vision us Congress in its wisdom may deem proper.’” ABMY INTELLIGENCE, The Clothing of the Regular Troops— Promotions.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1874. ‘The court martial, convened some time since at Fort Sanders, for the trial of Colonel (and Brevet General) Innis N.

LOUISIANA ELECTION. The Most Quiet Election Since the Rebellion. AN ALLEGED OUTRAGE. The Entire Congressional Delegation tion OF the entire conservative city ticket is con- ceded. The conservatives claim the parish by from 300 to 600 majority, Many negroes voted with the white people. Many republicans admit that the arrest of the merchants was bad policy, as many who had not taken part in politics since the war closed thetr places of business and engaged in the election. One ward in De Soto parish reports a heavy con- servative majority. A special despatch tothe Times from Homer, Says that Claiborne parish will give from 500 to 700 conservative majority, A special to the same paper from Minden claims 300 conservative major- ity 1n Webster. The Bventng Telegram (republican) says :— Claimed by the Democrats. NEGROES VOTING WITH WHITES Bad Effect of the Arrest of the Merchants on the Republican Ticket, New ORLEANS, Nov. 2, 1874, The election was the most orderly that has been held in this city since the rebellion. Notwith- standing that details from the White League were at all the polls and vied with the republicans in permitting a free vote by negroes, I have heard of but two Sreaches of the peace. The first was the case of @ negro who voted the democratic ticket and on leaving the poll was. fired upon by @ negro radical and shot in the foot, The other case was that of a negro repeater, who, having voted once, attempted to vote again, and, when challenged, said, “He be damned if he wouldn't vote anyway.’’ Members of Battery B, of the White League, lifted him bodily out of the line, threw him into the canal, aliowed him to wallow a few mo- ments, then pulled him out and rearrested him to repeat no More. Another outrage that Attorney General Fields requests me to telegraph North to-night the detatis of which I doubt not have promised to give, and although it may not affect the elections it is worth putting upon record, STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY GENESAL FIELDS. Attorney General Fields, as I left Marshal Packard’s office in the Custom House, where General Morrow and the Thirteenth infantry are quartered, entered with Mr. Stokes, the colored janitor of the State House, and stated that when leaving the State House and passing near the Bes office on Chartres street, a man rushed out, and yelled, “Is that Ole Feel?” Attorney General Field says he re- sponded, “yes,” when this would-be agsassin cried, “You ought to be hanged.”” The Attorney General drew his revolver, he says, and told the ausassin to come on, but the windmill was not charged, and the Attorney General escaped to beard the representative of the HERALD in the Marshal’s office, and, shaking a loaded revolver, demanded that this statement should be sent North, Later Governor Kellogg, at his rest- dence, suggested that the Attorney General was “excited,” but asIhad pledged myself to give this outrage I give it to you. Since dark I have visited Governor McEnery and other democrats, including members of the Dem- Ocratic State Committee. These gentlemen claim that they have elected the only State officer voted for—the Treasurer. Allof tne six Congressmen, with the possible exception of Broux (demo- cratic), of the Third district, and have a suflicient majority in the Assembly, TO IMPEACH KELLOGG. Spencer (democrat), in the Filth district, has tied Morey, candidate 1or Congress in Madison parish, where Morey expected 1,500 majority, thus secur~ ing Morey’s defeat. Despatches received from Madison parish, by private gentlemen. confirm this, and indicate that the uegroes in large pum- bers have gone over to the democrats. Marshal | Packard, chairman of the State Republican | Committee, when questioned, insisted that the State had gone republican by from 14,000 to 15,000 majority, electing a radical House—five Members of Congress—and at this point J. Hall Sypher, candidate for Congress in the First Congressional district, entered, and admitted his defeat. He charged that it was owing to the radicais raising the nat- uralization issue, and good-naturedly declared :— “Packard, if I am elected 1 nave run twelve hundred ahead of my ticket.” Deputy At- torney General Dibble, candidate for Con- gress, Second district, was present, and wore @ biue face. In answer to my query he ex- pressed the belief that he had been elected by a small majority, possibly 200, yet republicans concede that he is beaten by Ellis, the democratic candidate. Last evening the republicans claimed | they would carry the State by from 20,000 to 25,000 | majority. Colonel Wright, State Superintendent of Elections, to-night aamitted that the NEGROES HAD GONE OVER TO THE DEMOCRATS, and the republicans would nave a very small ma- jority. Kellogg, whose residence I have just lett, says:— “I give it as my deliberate opinion that this Stave will go republican by about 10,000 majority and elect Morey, Darrall and possibly Nash (colored), and Dibble for Congress. I think we will get the Assembly by a small majority and elect ten out of the eighteen members of the State Senate.” The City Gives Thirteen Thousand Democratic Majority—Both Sides Claim the State. New ORLEANS, Nov. 2, 1874, ‘The election passed off quietly. No official re- turns have yet been received, but the indications | are that the city has gone conservative by from 12,000 to 13,000 majority. Many prominent con- servatives Claim 15,000 majority in the city. It is generally beiieved Gibson has defeated Sypher for Congress in the Firat district. The conservatives claim the elec- tion of Ellis in the Second district, though the vote will be very close. The democrats claim the State by from 3,000 to 6,000. Yesterday the repub- licans estimated they would carrv the State by 20,000, and now the most sanguine only claim it by 10,000 and others by a small majority. The vote for Congressmen in the Third, Fourth, Fitth and Sixth districta will be very close from | present indications, All points heard from report a heavy colored vote for the conservatives, estimated at twenty per cent of the coiored vote polled. Telegrams irom fourteen stations in the parishes report that the election passed off quietly. Governor Kellogg to-nignt thinks the republi- cans will carry the State bya good majority, and elect four, probably five and possibly six Von- gressmen. Governor McEnery thinks the conservatives will carry the State by a small majority and elect three Congressmen. s A Victory Claimed by the Democrats— Marshal Packard on the Results—A Peaceable Election. NEw ORLBANS, Nov. 3, 1874, The democrats say they have carried the State, by 5,000 majority. There has not been arow in the city, Some of the republicans coacede a de- feat. Large bodies of negroes voted with the democrats, who claim five Congrtasmen and a majority of the Legislatare, . TH® NEGRO VOTE IN THE PARISHES.

Marshal Packard to the Republican Congressional Committee. Wasaincron, D. 0., Nov. 2, 1814. I. M. Edmunds, Secretary of the Union Repubil- can Uongressional Committee, has received the following telegram :— NEW OBLEANS, Nov, 2, 1874. The election was progressing quietly at noon, The colored vote was registered at upwards of 14,000 majority in the State. The white league intimidation will lose us several thousand colored votes. Four of the six Congressional districts have colored majorities. The First and Second districts have small white majorities, but we expect to carry one, if not both of them. Four repubiicans will certainly be elected. 58. P. PACKARD, President State Republican Committee, TAXES IN LOUISIANA, Enormous Increase of the Burdens of the Property Owner. NEw ORLEANS, Oct. 29, 1874, To THE EpIToR oF THE HERALD:— The people of this city and State are greatly blamed in republican quarters for their efforts to get rid of the vampires who are consuming their vitals and to throw their case into confusion and to blind the minds of the good people of the North, so that they cannot perceive whose cause is just. A great parade is made the day before election of “Ku Klux’ and “White League’ out- rages, most of which have no foundation in fact and all greatly exaggerated. The writer, one of the “plain people” and no politician, suvmits for the inspection of your readers a few figures, which are sald not to lie, As the agent for a certain store situated in the business part of the city, belonging to a resident Of Pniladeiphia, he has paid city and State taxes for the past twelve years as follows :— 7 ey), work in press in London entitied “Days Near Rome.” Messrs.

Mr. E, Steiger, of New York, will soon publish the great “Cyclopedia of Education,” by Messrs Kiddle and Schem, Dr. Holland will soon begin a new novel im Scribner's, under the title of “The Story of Sevem Oaks.” Nine people out of ten believe that the scene of Robinson Crusoe was the isiand of Juan Fer nandez, off the west coast of South America. This {8 a popular error, since the book explicitly says that it was near the mouth of the Orinoco, and tm the atlantic Ocean, not at all in the Pacific. The European guide book business is extending.
