DON CARLOS AND ALFONSO. The Head of the Spanish Bourbons Sor- rows for Isabella’s Son. In the Hands of Ingrates and Bad Advisers. The Carlist Protest, the Roar of Cannon and the Flag of the Faithful Still Afloat, (SPBCIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.) Lonpon, Jan. 11, 1875. Don Carlos has issued a proclamation from his headquarters at Vera. It is dated on the 6th inst. IN SORROW FOR ALFONSO. He says that as head of the Spanish Bour- bons he contemplates with profound sorrow the attitude of his cousin Alfonso, whose in- experience has induced him to consent to being made the instrument of the samo per- pons who expelled him and his mother. WILL NOT PROTEST ON PAPER. Notwithstanding this, he (Don Carlos) will \ssue no protest. It would be beneath the | dignity of himself and his army. His only protest will be uttered by the mouths of can- eon. FAITHFUL TO THE FLAG. In conclusion, Don Carlos avers that “he will remain faithiul to his holy mission and keep the flag unstained.” ‘THE CARLIST WAR TO BE CONTINUED. MADRID, Jan. 11, 1875.

[hese organizations will bave @ very important influence on tne United States Senatorship contest. There is a rumor around to- night that the democratic members who have not taken the new oath will be brought before the Secretary of State and induced to subscribe to it in addition to the old aMrmation. This movement, it ts said, is prompted by tear of any informality which might result in the election of a United Sta Senator. Prospective danger of their pro- per standing as legislative representatives in consequence of neglect of this programme, as di- rected under the constitutional amendments, prompts this expectation. There are about fity- two of those representatives who failed to take the new oath. It would be a singular state of affairs tf the democratic candidate was thrown out of the United States Senate in consequence of @ failure of votes to properly legailze their post- tion a®members of Assembly. { have it trom good authority to-nignt that the following 1s the pro- gramme as to chatrmanshtps of the principal com- mittees of the Assembly to be announced to-day Ways and Jeans—Mr. Hammond.

Railroads—Mr. Mackin. of course the fight over the Onited States Senaiorship attracts much attention. As I told you in my last, the election seems now nar- rowed down to Murphy and Kernan, The lat- ter gentleman comes belore the Legislature with | | the whole force of Tammany tall, the Executive and his own personal popularity in his favor. The prestige of a new democratic administration for support 14 certainly a vigorous lever in itself, But, then, it ts well to look at the ELEMENTS OF OPPOSITION. A gcod general, before entering the fleld of bat- tle, studies carefully the strength and position of bis opponents. There aro many here working in the interest of Mr. Murphy brimmul of prophesy as to his ultimate success. tn fact, the main talk @ppears to be what are Murphy’s chances as against Kernan. They aver that the REPORTS ABOUT GOVERNOR SEYMOUR’S coming here toaid Mr. Kernan’s candidacy are without foundation. The fact is clear that Mr, Seymour bas not yet pus in an appearance, although it was announced to me by the hotel clerk that rooms have been taken tor him at the Delavan. It is stated that the rumors of his com- ing arise from the fact that Mr, Spriggs, of Utica, formerly Mayor and a prominent lawyer of that city, is reputed tobeen route for Albany. It is also satd that Mr. Seymour ts seriously indisposed and does not desire at this particular time to enter into the canvass for either Mr. Kernan or Dimself. The truth seems to be that the contest between Senator Murphy, threatening to be some- what close, the leaders, from Governor Tilden down, are disposed to cry, ‘“‘nands off.” Some people aver that Murphy’s strength does Dot amount to much, and that there is no danger woatever tor Kernan, it would be well for the latter gentieman to stand bravely to his guns and lose nO Opportanity that may ensure victory. Over confidence has been the grave of many wiser statesman than Francis Kernan. Politicia are very slippery customers, particularly those of the present day. Some of them would cut a politicaP throat while promising and smiling blandly. Mr. Kernan is too gooa a man to pe slaughterea at the very threshold of his aspira- tions as he has been belore. BUYING AND SELLING. The tongue of scandal is always busy here, Of course there are rumors of buying and selling votes, A teal, live, corrupt combination has not, however, as yet developed itself. In conversa- {ion to-day with prominent men, representing both parties, they emphatically deny that any hoancial inducements will be used. Mr. Kernan’s Iriends assert that he would not accept the ottice at the expense of one dollar improperly used, Senator Murpuy’s allics go on the nigh principle that the whole State knows the character ol their can:'idate too well to suspect him for a moment of such base conduct. Itis rumored, nowever, that THE CANAL RING will show their haud this fight, as they tn- variably do on every occasivn where tueir grace- jul aud useiul services are required.

The President’s Message to Con- gress» Still Delayed. CABINET MANCEUVRING. The Ultimate Alternatives Presented to the Republican Managers. THE SITUATION IN LOUISIANA. Wasuixcton, Jan, 11, 1875. The Louisiana message went over until to-mor- tow, and, perhaps, until Wednesday. There was & Cabinet meeting over it this morntog, and there is to be another, so rumor says. The President evidently sees the importance of keeping his Cabl- het intact and tt 1s thought he will do his best to maintain bis policy in such a way as not to make & break among his constitutional advisers, THE CONTENTS OF THE MESSAGE. A number of Senators and others visited the White douse to-day, and,-report says, that the President bas counselled with some of them tn re- | gard to the terms of bis message. It 1s said that it will attempt to ease the feelings of some of the Cabinet oficers by acknowledging that the de- spatches sent to Sheridan, giving bim the approval of ‘all of us,”. were sent with- out consultation with the gentlemen whose approval he and the Secretary of War took for granted, This will leave the Secretary of | | War In a dubious postion, tt would seem, but then he must before this have had his “agly quarter | ot an oar.’ Aiter all, it 18 not supposed that the President wil disown him. He will take the blame of this very singular act on his own shoulders. Sheridan will, it 1s said, be pratsed as having acted with the best motives and with the laudable object of preserving law and order. It 18 not impossible tiat the at- lempt to compromise the members of the Cavinet and commit them before they know all that bas been done, May succeed, There 1s a tremendous | Show of ‘Southern outrages,” aod under cover of such harrowing recrtals anu of assertions of disor- | der and lawlessness, they aim, undoubtedly, to hide, tf possible, the anconstitutional transactions at New Orleans. 4 BREAK IN THE GABINET DREADED. Itts felt here by the administration Senators that a break in the Cabinet on this question just now would be a serious blow to the President's policy, and that every effort must be used, except the giving up of that policy, to prevent a rupture. It ts already argued that soldiers are only a kind of police; that It was Kellogg and not the Presi- dent who dispersed the Legislature; that it was not much of a Legislature after ail; that it is party feeling which magnifes the transaction, and tnat to worry the President about it Would be to play into the hands of the denrocrats, “TROOLY LOIL,”? Meantime lovalty is fanned up by every possi- ble means, and the “truly loyal breeze blows a gale.” The administration men are getting flercer in their denunciation of doubtiul supporters. The New Orleans committee are declared to be no better than traitors or weaklings, and Mr. May- Dard ts credited with a clever saying, that of that committee Mr. Potter is an open democrat, Mr. Phelps is a concealed democrat and Mr. Foster is no better than a democrat. GRANT'S STAK ASCENDING, In fact, the war fever is being stirred up, ard there are elements which turn up unexpectedly to tho President’g hands, so that nis old good for- tune, in which he trusts so confidently, does not Sppear to have desertea him. For instance, noe body supposed that Judge Hoar and George F, Hoar would appear as the supporters of what is called the President’s ‘vigorous policy.” ENCOURAGEMENT FROM OLD-FOGYISM. The letters sent to General Sheridan and the President by leading men of the old anti-slavery the prophecies which had peen made that Vir- ginta, North Carolina and Georgia 10 the nands of the conserva: meant the oppression of the blacks, and asked wiere was their fulfiment? He called the United States governmeat the “champion intimidator.” referring to the inter. ference at the Lovisiana polls of Marshal Packard and ois fying horsemen. He said that the administration would have ampng its defenders those who would sgain try to arouse the people to frenzy by the old story of the wrongs and oloodshed of loyal blacks and the re- cital of “Southern borrors,” and it seemed @ cauri- ous echo of this suggestion when Senator Morton followed Schurz with a speech the Gret and last sentences of which were, “Murder, muraer, mur- deri" BUMOB OF GENERAL BUTLEB'S PROBABLE sUC- CESSION TO JUDGE DURELI-—DIBBLE AND THE HONEST REPUBLICANS—WHAT DEPENDS UPON THE VERDICT OF CONGRESS.

THE BALTIMORE CITY COUNCIL ON LOUISIANA. Ba.tmrone, Ma., Jan. 11, 1875, Both branches of the City Council unanimous y adopted the following resolutions to-night:— Whereas the President of the United states. in viola- tion o! provisions of the constitution and in Gerogation of the rights of a sovereign state o: the Amer: 2nion, has directed an invasion of tue state of Louisiana oy a military force of the tederat goverument, and unwar- rantably interfered with and subveried thi legally con- stituted legisiative assembly of that state; an Whereas the conduct of the President, in thus assum- Ing to override and set aside the authority of a sovereign state, is such @ usurpation of power as should call forth the indiznant protest ot the american people, irre- spective of party; thereto.6, Resolved by the First and Second Chambers of the City Council of ‘altimore, ihat the invasion of the state of Louisiana by the milttary forces ot the tederal govern- ment, unger the direction of the Presiuent of the United q element of New England give great joy at the Waite House and help to increase the war-whoop. | The demagogues, too, who have been clamoring | for work for the unemployed prick up their ears | and begin to hope that volunteers may he wanted, and it’1s already said that, with the army in the South doubied or quadrupied to main- tain law ana order and a threat of war with Spain vo make necessary the immediate and, hasty com- pletion of our seacoast defences and the building of new ships of war, the administration | might Without difficulty get up a new eva of prosperity, reestablisn the party and make the President popular with the now idle mechanics and laborers. These are only rumors, of course, but it wou'd be a mis- take co think them idle rumors or sensations, The President and the men behind him are aeter- mined to succeed. General Grant intends to puil the party thiougn ia 1876, as ne says ne did in 1872, and there are men around om teckle's enough and greedy enougn to welcome a new war. WAR APPROPRIATIONS ued ta a OF THE FU: Pn Itisa significant circumstance that # proposi tion to make appropriations thts year for the pay and subsistence of the army for two years ahead finds javor and 1s quietiy urged among S:nators. Such a suggestion came some time ago from a ew Southern men, and was supposed to have taliea through as absurd, but it is now urged from other and far more ‘influential quarters, and may pres- loyalty to oppose. | APOLOGY FOR THE STRETCH OF PRESIDENTIAL POWER. It is urged that the South isin a desperate con- | dition; that it 18 the first duty of the federal | government to maintain order; that tnis duty, | though not conferred at all on the federal fower in the constitution, except as an auxiliary, was put upon it by the amendments; that the federal Executive must be the judge o/ the necessities of the case; that “We do not know all” about the | Southern horrors; that recent events arise out of the necessities of the case, and that itis not easy to see what else the President can do. The people who talk thas are not ail Southern carpet baggers. PARTY EXPEDIENCY. Some of them are influential men here,and they do not hesitate to say that it would be better to re-establish provisional governments in Loui- siana, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, and hold them down with the bayonet, than to permit the megroes to be abused. Those, therefore, who imagine that the first shock given to public feeling, even here, by the occurrences in New Orleans, is going to last, or that “the party,’ which means the adherents of the President, are as dismayed and devoii of expedients as they Were a week ago, are mistaken. The game is not over, and those who play it hope that, by talking loud enough of the Southern disease, the public will forget all abour the medicine which the Presi- dent wants to give the sick man, or, indeed, allow him to be dosed in any way it may please the men in power. THE REPORT OF THE NEW ORLEANS COMMITTEE. The New Orleans Committee's report was to-day made tothe whole committee and sent back to the sub-committee with instruction to add some particulars on one point. ‘This is the general un- derstanding to-night, but Mr. George F.

After the bill was Passed Irwin directed Mr. Abert to make them each a handsome present for their services, indi- cating the amount. Some comment having been excitea by the ap- | Parent discrepancy between the amounts paid Mr. Averilland the late Governor Randall, whose as- sistant Mr. Averill testified he was, Mr. Irwin | states that Governor Randall bad previously re- ceived a large portion of bis compensation as weil a3 his expense: in fact, that Governor Randull had been employed on this business continuous y since 1869 and 1870.

Morris Chester, a colored man, from New Orleans, has presented to the Judiciary Committee of the Senate a remonstrance, signed by a number o negroes, to the effect that Pardee, as a State Judge, was too anxious to have the corrupt of- cials brought before him on various charges pun- ished according to law, and if he should be appointed a federal!

THE FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE. . “The Merchant of Venice” was produced at this house last nignt with an artistic completeness which reflects credit on the management. Cor- rect costumes and appropriate scenery lent their ald .to the illustration of that most remark- able story of human passion. ‘the chief attraction, however, was the appearance of Mr E. L. Davenport in the role of Shylock, the Jew. His make-up was carelul, and nis reading ot the part instinct with dramatic jorce. The play, notwithstanding its literary ex- ceilence, has not suf™icieut action to keep up rhe interest, aud an audience: must rely chiefly tur in- teilectual delizit.ou the ; Ictures O! avarice, thirst ol revenge and despair which tbe chiel actor presents them. While care was notice- able in every line of Mr. Davenport's part , it was only in the scenes with Tubal thas the best qualities of his acting began to show | ‘nemseives. In the conrt scene he was remarka- bly farshed and powerlul—cecording with admira- Die preci#ion the rapidiy cuanging emotions ot tae rovengelui Jew, culminating witha picture of dumb de-pair truly touching. indeed, one can hardly | fail to pity shylock, su overwhelmed is te by mis- Jortune. “lhe Merchant of Venice” will keep the boards during the wee, and wili weil repay a visit. OPERA BOUFFE AT THE PARK THEATRE. | The French opera season at the Park Theatre begun last night witn Bazin’s opéra comique, “Le Voyage en Chine.” Tne story of this little opera has already been told in the HERALD, and, simple agit is,1t affords a theme for some good music and a great deal offup. Anyone who should ex- pect from it anything very striking or unusual would be disappointed, but to those who are con- ith simole music and sprightly dialogue it affords an exceileut evening's entertainment. If we were 10 attempt a description of its character in the fewest words we should call it @ pleasant comedy interspersed with chorusses and melo- dies. its chiel charm 13 fo ita alalugue, and this is readily uuprectated, even by those whose French is too meagre for criticism. It is, in short, just such a miusical play as is sulted to tne bijou Park Theatre, and we shall be surprised Wittalis to find anome tor along time at this house. With regard tothe performance itsell, 16 may be said that toe acting was much better than the singing. M. Duplan as Pompery was excel- lent, and he shared the honors of the evening with M. De Quercy, Who took the part of Henri. These two artists bore tne chief part o1 the periormance, and to them almost entirely was its success due. M, Debeer as Alidor was amusing. Mlle. Mineilt arie Was not strong; but she acted sung antly, ana in the second act espectally re- | ceived a flattering reception. A large house greeted the new compans, which 18 a fairly wus. tained one. The performance, though imperiect in many respects, showed more evenness than S. | Was to be expected on @ Orst night, and gives | promise of a unique and successful season. Re bes OBITUARY.
