10 WASHINGTON. Will President Grant Renounce the Third Term? GROWTH OF SUPREME COURT BUSINESS. A Last Hope for the Cause. Cuban House Members and the} Financé Bill. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. “MA GEES WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, 1875. ‘WILL PRESIDENT GRANT RENOUNCE THE THIRD TERM IDEA—ANXIETY OF THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS TO GET RID OF HIS OBSTRUCTIVE POLICY—TIMELY ADVICE TENDERED, The repuvlicans, returning bither from their Obristmas vacation, are not in high spirits. Many of them on the contrary are deeply discouraged, end almost ready to give up all hopes of a future for the republican party. It is their almost unan- Imous belief that the President is a burden the party cannot easily carry, that no measure of leg- isiation 1s nearly so important to rally them, as it Would be, toeither get ria of the President, or inspire him with such an appreciation of the dan- gers of the situation, a8 would lead him to change his attitude and course. But the President feels Mot a little contempt for those party leaders who | seek to put blame on him. It can be | said on the highest evidence that he | still thinks a third term the best solution of all the difficulties of the political situation. Two years ago, when congratulated upon his re- election, be replied that, “shough some ple had been fearful, he nad always been confident that he would be able to drag the party through ;” and the recent elections have not im the least sbaken his conviction that without him the party must go down two years hence. Several infuen- tial republicans have of late met with a cold rebaff | ‘when they urged uim to let it be understood that he did not seek a third term. He receives such suggestions in grim silence. Nevertheless, there 1s a strong feeling here among leading republicans that if the party ts to be saved the President must be dealt with and awakened to the mischief he ‘e doing. They want him promptly and very | explicitiy to disavow all expectation or desire of | @ third term; and to express himseif as opposed to it on general principles, as wrong, dangerous and not on any account to be tolerated, this all, Toey think he ought aiso to begin at once to weea out the offices, removing some even of the higher officers of the government and put- ting better men in their places. It is also said that the President ougnt to be told that he muse conciliate the liberal republicans; that be ought vo call to Important places in the sdministration such men as Judge Trumbull and Senator Schurz, and that he spould lose no time in making such removals and changes as to enable bim to bring back the liberal republican leaders to their old allegiance. Tnose who talk thus include many of the most important and Jeading men in the republican ranks—men wno Delieve that, unless such 4 radical change in pol- acy agis above described ts quickly carried out, the party willgo down. Those members and Sen- ators who have spent their vacation North come | back with very decided feelings that something has tobe done, and that witnin the next thirty days. They do not attempt to conceal their un- easiness; and it would not be surprising 1! the President were plainiy toid that Le must change, must cast off bis odious personal surroundings, | and mast declare openly against a third term. But nobody feeis much hope or expectation that he will receive such suggestions with respect or that ne will change his course so decidedly as tne republican leaders think he should. very general belief among prominent republicans here is that the party would be in a very happy | and promising condition if it could get rid of General Grant. How to manage and control him 48 the question of greatest importance here, just now, among them. Feason to believe that in General Grant’s opinion he would be ip @ very comilortabie position, if it ‘were not for the burden of the party, which he | Delieves to be hanging about his neck. He has great contempt for the peopie who imagine the country to be in an uncomtortabie or unnatural condition; or who are alarmed at the result of the recent elections. He 1s not scared at all, and counts those who are as mere alarmists and enemies of bis who ought to be sternly put down. INCREASING BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT—PROSPECTS O¥ ADDING TO | ‘THE NUMBER OF JUDGES, The accumulation of business in the Supreme Court makes its reorganization a matier of press- ing necessity. It has now nearly 700 cases on its docaet, and, with the utmost and most laborious e@pplication of the judges, it cannot get turough with more than 250 or 300 inayear. The delay mounts in many cases to a denial of justice, and | causes serious loss and great inconvenience to suitors. The President in his recent Message sug- gests the formation of two new judicial circuits and the increase of the number of judges on the Supreme bench from nine, their present number, toeleven. Apparently this would both expedite business and lighten the labors of the judges; but, 4m fact, it willdo nelther appreciably. practice in the Supreme Court that all the judges take up each case which comes before the oaurt, and thus, while the present method con- | tinues, to increase the number of judges, though 4% would bring an additional force of knowledge and judgment to bear on each case, it is evident that business woud be rather retarded than hastened. Under these circumstances the Senate Judiciary Committee may possibly conclude that it is necessary, by reason of tue rapid growth of ‘the country, to reorganize the Court upon adil- | Jerent system. It bas been suggested that the | Bench sbali be increased to fitteen, or even to twenty-one members, and that it shall be divided dnvo sections, to each of which would be assigned a@certain class of business, A quorum may sit, and if the Court numbered twenty-one judges ven might be constituted a quorum for business poses, and the decision of a section of seven Judges would receive the assent of ali as a matter course. If this were done one section would sit on ad- miraity and patent cases, another on common Jaw and equity cases, and so on, the whole Court, however, hearing ana deciding cases involving constitutional questions. it has also been sug- gested that Congress mignt wisely direct that ina Jarge class of cases the facts should be ascertained in the courts below, thus sparing the Supreme Bench the time now consumed in a rehearing of evidence already laboriously heard in the lower court, It is also suggested tnat the hearing of evidence in patent cases should be assigned to a | @pecial commission of experts or professional men, ‘who could hear and sift the evidence and fad the fpenatersa facts in each case for the Court. Wanatever may be determined on by Congress, It fsqwartain that some change is necessary, both to t injurious delsys in the administration of and to relieve the overworked members of the Sapeeme Bench, (FROM WOUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, 1875. 4 Lasr Horr’ OF THE FRIENDS OF CUBA—CAS- qeLaR InviTD TO ESPOUSE THE CAUSE— APPEALS TO T..

Y., Jan. 3, 1875, Mnch trouble is imminent here on the political chessboard. The calm of to-day has been availed of by the politicians in their rooms at the hotels: to caucus and compare notes. The clouds hover over the fight between Tammany Hall and the country members, and the latter assume a very threatening attitude to-night. conversation with several of them and ascertained some important facts as to their probable future | action, A singular move has turned up to-day on the political chessboard as regards the alleged the Speakership. | Uncertainty of the Choice of a | have been formed touching the chair, I have been in | | course of Tammany Hall in holding @ caucus. | ‘There ig no Goubt the movement has caused con- sideradle ; DISAPFECTION THROUGHOUT THE STA! An advance guard of two or three in the Tam- many interest has arrived, These gentlemen bave emphatically denied that there has been a caucus at and prociaim that no binding action whatever was taken oy the Tammany members regardmg thé Speaker, Clerk and United States Senator. So thorough and wholesome & denial hus taken the country members by surprise. They do not believe it. Many of them told me to-night, in speaking of the proposition sent, calling for a withdrawal of the caucus action of Tammany Hall, that a response was given posi- tively retustng to accede the demand. The posi- tion of Tammany, taking this view of the case, 1s therefore peculiar. THE STORY OF THE SEORET MaCHINATION, If no action had been taken then there was tio | necessity for a refusal to recede ; but here is the story as narrated to Me to-night by several gen- tlemen from the interior of the State:—Two meet- ings of the Tammany members of the Assembly were held; not one caucus, but two, ‘the first was rather informal. At this gathering the choice for Spedker and United States Senator was an- nounced as Maguire and Kernan. The Clerkship was laid over lora week. At the next meeung @ regular chairman was appointed, Mr. James Daly, aod Caikins was aomiuated for the Clerk- Pri lt 1s claimed on tne part of Tammany Hall that no pleage was given or resolution passed, go that the meeting must not be classed aga caucus. Bat then the country interest as- serts that an informal vote taken, each member announcing his choice, is jast as binding as any other course. They snecr down the aasertion put forth by 'ammany men asa sheer humbug. Why,” said @ prominent member of the interior to me at the Delavan to-night, “if we are to be shackled in this manner by Tammany Hall it will ruin us with our constituents. Many of us have been elected from republican districts, and we must be exceedingly carelul of our reputations. zee eee Ot tue interior steel this dictation eenly.” A SPLIT THREATENED, A threat is made by many that unless the actton of Tammany Hal is rescinded tnoey will refuse to go inve caucus. Lively times are consequently expected to-morrow, unless oll 18 poured upon the troubled waters by a fank muvement on the part of fammany Hall. The full delegation will be here in the afternoon, and @ meeting is called at tue Delavan House Jor five o’ciock. THE SENATORSHIP. As to the United States Senatorshtp, the pros- pects of a hard fought contest increase hourly. ‘Tne Kings county members present, accompanied by Wiluam C. Kingsiey, Congressman Bliss, Com- missioner Fowler and other prominent Brooklyn- ten, have been working vigorously. During tne day their rooms are crowded, and buttonholing, — whispering and caucasing precominate, DIVERS SYMPTOMS, An entertainment on a most extensive scale comes off on Tuesday night at the nouse of Erastus Corning, in this city. Rumor says it is in the inter- est of Amasa J. Parker, who may be counted ag one of the candidates for United States Senator. This geotieman made a good showing in the Syracuse Convention Jor the Gubernatorial nomi nation. The main opposition centred | him, he may be the commg man. A son of Francis Kernan is here trom Utica. He watcles the can- vass carelally, If the present turmoil continues, there is no knowing who may carry off the palm To-morrow night we have the regular caucus in the Assembly Chamber. THE CANAL RING WORKING. The canal ring are at work. A very tmportant matter jor them is the organization o1 the House, particolarly in the Wee nea ol the committees, Some of them have had a lengthy interview to-day with Mr. Maguire. What was its purport hag not yet transpired. The democratic head of the ring and the prominent members are now all in hand anu actively at work to secure tne probable Speaker. At baif-past eleven o’clock to-night the train from New York arrived, bringing limothy Campbell, irom the Sixth district ; McGroarty, from Brooklyn, and General F, B. Spinola, Calkin’s stock seems joing up. ‘The countrymen gather around the New ‘ork representatives nervously asking questions, They seem puzzied to know what toao. Mr. John Morrissey quietly greets the new arrivals, -and prophesies no trouble in the caucus to-morrow evening. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE A CRIPPLED BOY LEAVES HIS BED IN THE LONG ISLAND HOSPITAL AND CANNOT BE FOUND. Early in last December Robert Kueblke, agea twenty, of No. 62 Bergen sireet, Brooxiyn, who had been suffering for years ‘rom an abscess in the left hip, was taken to the Long Island College Hospital, Henry street, Brookiya, for an opera- tion, ‘This took piace about ten days ago, being performed by the resident surgeon, the family physician being present. It promised to be suc- cessful, Last Tuesday, the 20th ult, Kuebike’s mother called, as usual, to see her son, and was informed that he would probably be able to get up py the 4th or Sth of January. Jather called on Friday with some New Year's nd then heard, to his intense astonishment, that Robert had disappeared on Thursday morn- ing, at about five o’ciock, The official in charge of the institation stated that how he bad left was @ mystery. They had supposed he had gone home and tor that reason had not notifled nia parents of his disappearance. Nobody had seen him leave, and the two nurses who slept near him cpuld not account for his absence. One of them stated that he had noticed that Robert was awake at four o'clock, but did not speak to him. No one had appiied for permission to pass out through the gaces on the morning of the 3ist, and oy # brick building on the other side. In the young man’s crippied condition it would appear impossible ior him to have made his way out un- aided. Kuehtke is blind of his leit eye, In appear- ance he is weak and delicate. For the jast four years Robert has been in the haoit of using morphine to allay bis pains, which have been intense. When he escaped itis thought that he was suffering irom the want of this drug, as the doctors of the hospital were opposed to his using it. It is conjectured also that he may have been delirious from pain. it was learned last Might that on the dist ult., at five o'clock A. M., @ lad answering Kuehike’s description was at the ferry house of the South ferry, at Atiantic street, Brookiyn, and stated to the ferry master that he had just left the hospitai, had no money and was very sick. He went in to the waiting room, by the ferry master’s permission, to wait for the boat. Here the clew ends, It is not known if he came over to this city. Kuebike frequently told his nurses that be intended escaping, as the doctors would not give him morphin The police of Brooklyn, New York and have been noti- fled of Kuehike’s mysterious disappearance. The nurses at the hospital say that he was in excellent Bpirite the day belore he escaped, JUMPED OVERBOARD.

Haxnissuna, Pa,, Jan, 3, 1875, ‘The firat new Legislature of the State of Penn- syivauia under the revised constitution will as- emble in this city on Tuesday, and will be com- posed of 108 democrats, ninety republicans, one independent, and one prohibitionist, It will be noticed, therefore, that the House contains 101 members more than ever heretofore, while the democrats have a fixed majority of eighteen, The organization of the House will accordingly be democratic, and the democrats are at present exe | ceedingly puzzied over the Speakership, They seem to be wavermg, undetermined, bewildered, ALL SORTS OF COMBINATIONS but no sooner effected than broken, Indeed, it may be said that the representatives are greatly divided and evident coniusion existg among their ranks, Harrisburg has never seen such @ wildly excited Sabbath day, and the democrats have found it im- possible to hold their caucus yet. The real truth of the matter is that in coming to power al- ter the many past years of defeat the democratic members are comparatively at sea, and show no luttle ignorance in political manceuvering. Be- sides, under the circumstances which atvended the election of several members, THEIR PLEDGES TO THE PEOPLE, who voted them into office, prevent them from enterimg into any definite combination at ail. ‘This 18 @ very touchy poiut, as it might involve the fate of the Senatorship. Mr. Wallace, for the reason that he has figured in State politics so long, is mentioned by many as an exponent of the ring, against which the class of democrats mentioned avove are solemnly pledged to vote. Hence arises the great diMcuity of effecting anything like a perfect organization, and his F can state with the assurance that no such organization has, as yet, been made, though it is by no means certain that it may not be accomplished, THE PROBABILITIES however are that Mr. Patterson, of Alleghany, will secure the Speakership, in which case the Uierkship must needs go to the representatives from the East, Mr. Woolever, of Lehigh, and Mr, McGowen, Of Philadelphia, being the two candi- dates most spoken of. The sole object of the dem- ocrats is to Involve the fighttfor the United States Senatorsnip in tne tight ior the oMcers of the House, but thus far all such attempts have proved fruitless and.ail designs toward this end nave been frustrated. There is but little excitement over THE SENATORIAL QUESTION itself, just at the present moment, since no one Of tae antagonists of Mr. Wallace seems desirous of taking advantage of him at this hour, when he has been unexpectedly summoned home to attend his father’s tuneral; but when the struggle comes it will be severe, ‘allace is the name now held in highest favor, and, judging trom the conversa- tion current on the street and in all the over- crowaed hotels, his election seems sure. Mr. Buckalew, however, has openly expressed him- self against him and condemned the manner in which he has previously flied ms office and con- ducted the affairs of State. The chances of Buckalew himself are very poor indeed, while those of Mr. Black are in no wise better. Clymer ts second in the contest. Wallace personally claims, as belore communicated, eighty votes, THE REPUBLICANS WAITING. The republicans will not hold their caucus until the last possible moment. Then, if Seer rit is against them, they will renominate, out of compli- ment, their present United States Senator, Mr, Scout; but, if through any extraordinary combina- tion of circumstances they see a chance of suc- cess, Scott will at once be thrown overboard and the nomination io ail probability will be vendered to Mr. B. H. Brewster, of Puisadelpnia, in reward for his great service during the late campaign. CONTRADICTORY CAUCUSES. Everything political 1s ina broil. Tbe hotels are all crowded with vehement, excited politicians, who do not seem to know which way to turn nor how to act. Caucuses of a confidential nature are | held every hour, but in most instances one caucus upsets everything another caucus agreed apon. Mr. Parker, of MiiMlin county, looms up at times as astrong antagonist of Mr. Patterson jor the Speakership, and there are @ great many who in- sist that this office must eventually fali to Mr. W. ©, Taliy, of Delaware county, who, though a demo- crat, has been elected three times from a county that is republican. ‘ DISORDER, Everything ts in disorder. No one dare predict the issue. The State bas not known such an ex- citing scene for many years. Nothing definite will be decided to-night, as a test vote cannot possivly be made, but the programme must certainly be made to-morrow. The democratic majority of the House in joint ballot, owing to death and sick- ness, has been reduced from seven to two. This alone 1s exceedingly bad for tue party. Buckalew has just issuea AN ELABORATE FIAT, im which he sternly denies the eligibility of Wal- lace for the nomination of United States Senator, | on the ground that a member of the State Legis- ture can neither legaily accept the nomination nor legally be elected to this high oftice. He backs up his arguments by quoting extensively from the original constitution of the State, framed in 1776, from all her recent constitutions and from the new Constitution, under the conditions with which the Senate convenes. He corroborates his opinion also by citations from the constitutions of Massachusetts, Michigan and other States, as well as from Story on the constitution of the United States, As soon as this paper 1s generally circu- lated it 18 sure to create @ great sensation. TWO FIENDISH FIREMEN. HEEMAN DONABS MURDERED IN THE FIREHOLD OF THE GERMAN STEAMER LESSING. AHERALD reporter called at the wharf of the Eagie line oi Hamburg steamers yesterday with reference to the alleged brutal murder of Herman Donars, a former resident of this city, whiie on board the steamship Leasing on a recent voyage from New York to Hamburg. The following is the monstrous story, as told in the Hamburg Criminal Court: Germany from New York in consideration that he should work his passage fireman, While on the voyage, prostrated by the heat of the furnaces, he was beaten on the head with an tron shovel by two of the paid firemen, named Wendt and Bur- meister. After repeatedly knocking him down they poured water over him. Subsequently they chased him round the furnace room with a red hot fron, burning him severely, until the poor wretch sunk with exhaustion against the steam chest, near the boiler. This had the emfect of making him tngensible. He was then hvisted like @ log on deck with a rope round his body, ere it was discovered that he was dead. fhe doctor of the steamer, Mr. Flied- Ly ay. examined the body.und told the Captain, _A. F. Toosburg, that the man had died of apoplexy and fracture of toe skull. The corpse was quietly thrown into the sea during the night. Before the trial took place the doctor had run away and could not be found. The third engineer of the Lessing, Muller, testified that be had ordered the deceased to be removed from off the steam chest. He admitted that he bad said that loafers, wno get free passage and do not work, ought to be beaten. ‘The two flends, Wendt and Burmeister, who had killed Donars, were sent to prison for three years and eighteen months respectively, the lesser puu- ishment being awaraed to Burmeister, Captain Toosburg was reprimanded for not having put the two firemen in irons and for lus attempts at keep- ing the matter secret. ‘The chiel oficial at the Eagle dock, Mr. J. Stea- ben, stated yesterday that be had heard oi the aifair from the German newspapers, and that wiien the Lessing sailed hence on the 29th ult. for Hamburg she had the doctor on board who was formerly on the Goethe. He had not asked for tn- formation on the subject from any ol the oMcers of the Lessing, nor had they volunteered to give him any. OBITUARY, eo - ANTHONY Hoover. The death of Anthony Hoguet, ot the firm of Wil- merding, Hoguet & Co., of New York, took place in this city on Saturday evening, 2d inst., quite un- expectedly, after his return from the Southern States, where he bad veen on & visit, accompanied by his daughter.
