A large crowd gathered on the scene, but the lynchers had posted a strong guard, and the teeble efforts made to Interiere with them were unsuccessful, After all signs oi life had ceased in the suspended man the lynchers quietly dis- persed, but the body hung an bour before it was re- moved by tne Coroner.

The third negro escaped and gave the alarm. From tne evidence given at the Coroner’s inquest the jury came to the conclusion that the murders were committed by Lawson Biunt.

COMPLICATIONS AND ENTANGLEMENTS OF THE SITUATION—PROBABLE REPUBLICAN AND DEM- OCRATIO CANDIDATES—TACTICS OF SIMMONS AND BURT—ANOTHER CELEBRATED TELEGRAM. Boston, Jan. 17, 1875, The Massachusetts atorship question is be- coming more complicated and entangled than ever. The Louisiana muddle, a row between Col- lector Simmons and Postmaster Burt, a threatened change In the United States Marshalship and the old Crédit Mobilier scandal have all become sud- denly mixed up in the matter, and the scene seems to shift almost momentarily as the time ap- proaches for the final solution of the problem, In view of the republican and democratic caucuses which are to be held to-morrow cvening, and the election which ts to follow on Tuesday, the friends of the rivai candidates have been very industrious in their behalf to-day, notwithstanding it has been the hallowed Sabbath. At Parker’s, vhe Tremont and tne United States there has been a periect political pandemonium ail the alternoon and even- bs THE LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. Mr. Dawes and Mr. Hoar continue to be the leading republican candidates, and the irtends of the two appear to be soevenly diviaed in numbers and so positively obstinate in their adherence to their favorites that it 18 more than likely that both of the ambitious rivals will be finally dtopped and anew man substituted. Up to yesterday Mr. Dawes seemed to be gaining strength, but the developments of the hour have turned the tide in favor of Judge Hoar, or, at least, against Mr. Dawes. These developments consist chiefly of reviving the career of Mr. Dawes in connection with the stupendous Crédit Mobilier frauds, The Taking up of the scandal at this time is due to Judge Robinson, of the North Adams Trangcript, who has reviewed at length in bis paper the connection of Mr. Dawes with the great frauds, and circulated copies very freely among the memoers of the Legisiature, The result has been that many who were before friendly to the Berkshire statesman are now un- equivocally opposed to him. Another cause of division in the Dawes ranks ts the fact that some of his friends have just at this time urged the ap- pointment ofa Mr. Barker, of Pittsfeld, tor United States Marshal in place of Roland G. Usher, whose term expires in March. ONE OF BUTLEB’S BOWERS, Mr. Usher is one of Butler’s bowers, and this at- tempt on the part of the Western Massachusetts men at tnis time to oust him has caused no little ill feeling among the Butler legislators who were heretofore friendly to Mr. Dawes, and they declare to-night that unless the effort is abandoned they will witharaw irom the support of the Berkshire candidate. It will be seen, therefore, that Mr. Dawesis in avery uncomfortable position. The question arises, though, whether he will not retain enough supporters to make a dead set against Hoar and defeat a choice unless a new candidate is taken up. This seemingly is the situation now, 80 far as these two aspirants are concerned, THE COMPROMISE CANDIDATE. Next to these ex-Governor Bullock stodd the best cnance of being taken up as a compromise candidate, but he signed tne call for the Louisiana indignation mecting and sent a message of in- dorsement, and, therefore, his name may as well be dismissed at once. Counting ex-Governor Bul- lock out of the contest the most promising com- promise candidate is General Devens, now Judge of the Superior Court, who seems to have justifi- cations and iriends in abundance. According to the gossip among the members there were Dril- liant indications at the commencement of this Senatorial contest that Collector Simmons would not come to the surface. He has turned up, how- ever, like a bad penny, and with him is Postmaster Burt. They are eudeavoring \o wrangle each other out of office, and in so doing they ure throwing more or less influence into the campaign at the State House. THE FANEUIL HALL MEETING. The disturoance at Faneuil Hall last Friday af- ternoon has been charged directly upon Mr. Sim: mons, and notwithstanding his proclivity tor denying charges t\hrouyh the press he has not yet Tefuted these allegations. Itis charged that tne opposition manifested in the Faneuil Hall meeting was organized for the purpose, and that the Cus- tom House, that retreat of all the political virtues, was the headquarters whence the orders ema- nated and where all the arrangements were made. The opposition in the meeting seemed to be acting in concert, and had not a majority of the people present been in sympathy with the object ior Which it was called the resolutions would prob- ably have been votes! downor the meeting broken up. The meeting, it seems, aiforded toe Collector anexcelient opportunity to mauiiest his loyalty for President Grant, for, while it was in progrcss, Wo sent the following telegram to the White louse :— SIMMONS’ TELEGRAM. Boston, Mass., Jan. 15, 1875, General 0. F. Bascock, I:xecutive Mansion :— Large protest meeting in Faneuil Hall on Louisiana maiters, Wendell Phillips being a spectator. The au- dience, cheering for Grant and sheridan, insisted on Phillips speaking, and he ts now talki heavy blows, id great enthusiasm, in deience ot the Fresident and General sheridan, Neither Faneuu Hall, Boston, nor the State will sustain the protestants’ meet. s W. A. SIMMONS, Postmaster Burt at this time was in Washinge ton pressing charges against Simmons, and the flattering telegram was probably regarded by the Collector as a very timely oftset. Toe effect of this side fight on the Seuatorial question is against both #r, Dawes ana Judge Hoar and in favor of an outside candidate, for both Burt aod Simmons (particularly the latter) are very odious just nuw, and any candidate supported by them 1s weakened Tatber than strengthened, THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION. The democratic situation on the Senatorship has also changed. Governor Gaston’s friends, while they wouid like to see him in toe Senate, are reluctant to bestow that honor, ior the reason that his successor tn the gubernatorial chair (che Lieutenant Governor) would be a republican and @ probibitiouist. In order to bring about tms State of .tuings probably there would be a sum- cient number of republicans to go for Mr. Gaston to secure his election. Judge Abbott's stock has also gone down im the democratic market, and their policy now is to bring out eitner Charles Francis Adams or his son Joby Quincy. So far as their preferences are concerned they will be de- cided in to-morrow’s caucus, but the republican counci) will hardly come to anything definite un- less opinions are very materialiy changed during the next twenty-iour hours. A MAN OF THE PERIOD, Governor Gaston is more of a man of the period than he ts of a democratic politician, and it would be hard to find even @ republican in the State who does not admire him for his abtitty aud integrity. It is almost certain that his name Will be strongly urged by many in the democratic caucus and oe may be the chosen candidate instead of Abbott, Adams or Banks, and he would probably com: mand more republican support than either of the last two named. Between the two caucuses the democrats are the most likely to come to an under- pe rgrine | on Monday evening, The republicans are so divided aud (he different factions are so wedded to the Sapport O! their respective candal- dates that tt will be hard for any of them to yield to tne others, THE TENNESSEE SENATORSHIP.

Office-Holders Make Party Odious. the THE THIRD TERM DENOUNCED Proposals for Reconstruction of the Cabinet. THE LITTLE TARIFF BILL. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 1875, 4 LETTER FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT—HIS ADVICE TO THE PARTY AND THE PRESIDENT— THE THIRD TERM AND THE SOUTH—THE CABINET. Vice President Wilson has written a letter to Mr. Samuel Bowles, of the Springfield Repudtican, in reply to a paragraph in vhat journal asserting that the Vice President openly gave up the repub- lean party as beaten and certain of defeat at the nextelection, Mr, Wilson replies in effect that he has not said this, and does not believe it; that he thinks the republican party may get ip, and that a necessity exists for its continuing in power. He admits that it 1s in danger, but asserts that its peril comes not from its own fault, but from the misconduct of Men who have obtained high positions init. He believes a change of policy necessary, and goes on to state what changes, in bis opinion, would re- establish the party in the confidence and affection ofthe people. It must, he says, at once and ex- plicitly, declare against a third term, and thus re- Meve the public mina of painful apprehension and put to rest at once ana forever a fear which does more than aught else to alienate the people trom the party. It ougat to re- Move many of the office-holders, high and low, and especially some of the higher officers of the administration, whose mismanagement of affairs bas become offensive to the people, and whose conduct, both in their departments and in general affairs, makes them and the party odious, It must adopt a conciliatory, tnough firm, policy in South- ern affairs, avoiding any irritating federal inter. ference and taking off the heavy hand of the gov- ernment, The equal rights of the blacks must be defended, but unconstitutional acts ana measures of donbtiul constitutionality ought to be avoidea, and the public opinion of the North must not be offended by violent acts or language toward the South. Finally, Mr. Wilson thinks 1t necessary to open the door to those men who strayed off after Greeley, but whose hearts are still “with the republican party.’? They must be conciliated. Their leading men must be taken into the confidence of the party, and some snould be called to high places. There is no doubt, irom what Mr. Wilson freely says in conversation, that if his advice were fol- lowed General Sheridan weuld be at once recailed from New Orleans and the South; and that also he would urge @ very conciltatory policy in the Southern States, and one which would throw the people of those States largely on their own re- sponsibility, removing tederal interierence, and calling upon them to keep order and punish disorder, with the understanding that if there were any there that did not the federal power is always strong enougi to resume its interference. Mr. Wilson secs that by such a policy the blame of Southern disorders, if these @ontinued, would fall upon the democrats ana not upon the republicans as now, and he beileves that, while the blacks must have equal rights as the constitution guarantees, and as justice and humanity demand, the irritation consequent upon such acts as those recently in New Orleans is dangerous and of the most evil tendency. Mr. Wilson has also frequently in conversation expressed the conviction that the fear of designs jor a third term does more with the people to bring the republican party into disrepute and cause it to lose popular confidence than almost anything else, and he believes very strongly that if the President could be induced to declare openly and decidedly his unalterable opposition to a third term, his intention not on any account to accept or allow his own renomination’and his belief that ali designs for a third term now or atany other time are dangerous and should be opposed, he would remove one of the main causes of the party’s misfortunes, Ten days ago there was some private talk of getting a number of leading republicans in and out of Congress to go in a body tothe President and endeavor to per- suade him to some decided utterance upon the third term question, and among others ex-Senator Morgan, of New York, was spoken of as one who ought to be on such committee. It is felt, however, by everybody here that the sub- ject Is extremely distasteiul to the President, and that nothing could induce him to make an explicit declaration on the subject. He says he never sought the office; that the people have twice calied on himto be President, and that 1s all. General Logan, who spoke the other day as the President's mouthpiece tn the Senate, was more frank. He sald, speaking of General Jackson's imprisonment of a judge during the war of 1812 in New Orleans, “One man was made President for making New Orleans behave itself, and it might make a second.” He was understood by every- body to mean not Mr. Kellogg, nor General Sheri- dan, bat General Grant. As to the proper and jadictous and, as he thinks, necessary course of the republican party toward the liberal republicans, the Vice President bas of late given very decided utterances. He believes Itto be expedient to win back the support of these men, and to do this he would clean out of the Cabinet several of the present mem- bers, and tn reconstructing 1% take in at least one prominent lbderal repubit- can and ome prominent Southern man. He thinks the party should also demand the removal three votes for him. They assert that he 1s the only man who cam beat Johnson, and that the work will be short. They propose to work up @ combination against Johnson, if possible, but they are ratner too san- guine. It having been reported that ©. C. Giers, of this county, was going to vote for Bates, peti- tions asking him to vote for Johnson were taken to the beer gardens and extensively signed hy the foreign element, which 1s clamorous sor Johnson's election. The question now uppermost with the opposi- tion ts to whether one butlot sali be nad on Tuesday, and then an adjourned caucus be heid to decide \f possible what man can come it over Johnson. CONVICTION OF TWO SMUGGLERS. WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 17, 1876, Joshua A, Ellegood and Wilitam L. Urosoy, two of the smugglers detected last July at Lewes, Del., by Special agent J. & Chatker and United States Marshal Duna, were convicted yesterday in the United States District Court in this city. These are | the first prosecutions for smuggling in this district for many years, and OAVe excited a deep interest throughout the State. Mr. Anchony Higgins, United Staves District Attorney, prosecuted, (he accused were defended by Messrs, Barrington and Hoffecker. THE BOSTON AND LOWELL RAILROAD. Boston, Jan. 17, 1876, The Presidents of the Boston and Lowell Railroad will publish a letter to-morrow morning in vehalt of the corporation, defining the position of the road tn regard to its recent troubles and defend- ing its policy. It is thought that po; ing tte pouioy. tt ri popular indigna- | of many office-noiders—some abroad, but more of them at home—whose character and conduct tn- Jure the party which is held responsible sor them, To make such & summary clearance of men who are incapable or whose character and conduct are a disgrace to the party and an injury to the country, and to replace them by men of capacity and honesty, he has on many occasions recentiy said, is absolutely necessary to the usefuiness and sno. cess of the republican party. In choosing their successors there 18 no doubt that the Vice Presi- dent would advise that a fair proportion of promi- nent liberal republicans, where these are men of ability, should be chosen; and he would aiso seek to establish the republican party tn the South oy casting out of office the venal and incapable men whorule tt there and winning over tot the best men by the offer of the federal ofices. The Vice President has never been hopeless of the future of his party as some other republicans have been. He has seen the evils and dangers which beset it and has busily consulted with leading men in and Out of Congress as to the remedies which ought to be applied. Vice President Wilson did not give his views to the public until he haa spoken with others to get their views, but he is very decidea in bis express sions that the first and most necessary thing 1s an open declaration by the President of unalterable opposition to a third term, A prominent repubit- can, to-night, speaking of the Vice President's letter and his well known views, remarked that with proper and energetic efforts it would not be impossible to manage a bolt of republicans, and ‘their union with liberal republicans imall tae States, which might have strength snd cobesion enough to control the party in spite of President Grant and independently of bim, and force bim to pursue a different policy. The people, he thought, were ripe for such @ movement, and would join it with great heartiness and place its success at once beyond adoub*. Public meetings should be called in every State, he thought, and at these prominent republican and liperal repubilcan lead- ers should join together in opposition to the policy of the President and demand a change both in measures and men. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. —_— WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 1875. THE DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT. M. ©, Kerr, of Indiana, arrived here this morn- ing to be present at the consultation of the lead- ing democrats now in Washington. The purpose at present ts to hold a public meeting in Washing- ton and follow it with the establishment of a lead- ing democratic paper, in order that the democrats in the Forty-lourth Congress may not be without an organ. THE PRESIDENTS FINANCE MESSAGE. The Committee on Ways and Means will take up the tariff and proceed with its revision this week. Tbey will hold night sessions in order to be pre- pared for ® report to the House at an early day. Although the President's message in relation to in- creasing the revenue was addressed to the Senate, instead of to the House, where, according to the fourth section of the constitution, all bills for raising the revenue must originate, it must be remembered that the Senate, by the same section, may make amendments to such bill originating in the House, as in other c Unaer the circum- Stances, the message having accompanied @ bill which had originated tm the Sen- ate ana been returned to that body with tne President’s approval, the committee will take cognizance of the suggestions made by the President, and consider them in their de- tberations regarding the tarif. Thereis no doubt that the Committee on Ways and Means will com- plete all the work before them in ample time for Congress to give the resuit of their deliberations proper consideration before the day on wnich the session expires, THE EXTRA SESSION, There is no possibility whatever of an extra session. The democrats do not wish it, The republicans are not anxious for it and the Presi- dent does not desire it THE TEA AND COFFEE DUTY. The committee will probably advise Congress to Te-enact the duty upon tea ana coffee at the Tate of fitteen cents per pound upon the former and three cents per pound on the latter. Strenuous efforts are making to repeal the ten per cent reductions upon all staple articles except machinery and silk, in the act of June 6, 1872, but this will hardly succeed. The little Tariff bill now in conference will probably be thrown aside, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 1875. The questions to be argued beiore Judge McAr- thur on Monday involve the substantive point whetber the House has parted with its jurisdic. ton in the case of Richard B. Irwin by the act of the Speaker in complying with tne section of the law In relation to contempts, as follows :— SECTION 3.—And be it iurther enacted, That when a witness shall fatl to testliy as provided in the previous sections of this act, and tne fact shall be reported to the House, it shall be the duty of the Speaker of tue House or the President of the Senate to certily the fact, under tne seal of the House or Senute, to the District Attorney for the District of Columbia, whose duty itshall be to bring the matter before the Grand Jury for their uction, The District Attorney admitted yesterday that he had received such notification, and therefore Irwin claims that the jurisdiction of the House over him has ceased, and he 1s therefore entitled to be released on bail. The result of the issue is awaited with much interest, AN INDIAN APPROPRIATION. Several days ago the Uommissioner of Indian Affairs, through the Secretary of tne Intertor, in- vited the attention of Congress to the twelith article of the treaty conciuded with the Tabe- quashe, Muache, Cavote, Weminuche, Yampa, Grand River and Uinta bands of the Ure Indians in Colorado, March 2, 1868, which provides ‘that an additional sum sufficientin the discretion of Congress (but not to exceed $30,000 per annum) to supply the wants of said Indians for food, shall be annually expended, under the direction of the Secretary of tne Interior, in supplying ‘said In- dians with beef, mutton, wheat, flour, beans and potatoes until such time as said Indians shall pe found to be capable of sustaining themselves.” This sum of $30,000 has been appropriated an- nually by Congress until tne present fiscal year, and although regularly estimated for in accora- ance with the provisions just quoted, it does not appear in the Appropriation bill tor the fiscal year ending June 39, 1876, as reported to the House of Representatives. It is respectiully submitted that these Indians are not “capable of sustaining themselves,” and that the appropriation should be continued, as Provided in the provision of the treaty above | quoted, “until such time as said Indians shall be found to be capable 0! sustaining tihemselves,”” ‘The articles of agreement concluded with these Indians by Mr. Brunot and ratitied by Congress (see act of April 29, 1874, pamphlet edition, Stat- utes at Large, page 36) stipulates that “all the provisions of the treaty of 1868 not altered by this agreement shall continue in force.” There is nothing in said agreement which alters the twelfth article of the treaty of 1868 providing for this apprepriation of $30,000, nor 1s there anything known to this office which would relieve the gov- ernment from the obligations incurred thereby. On the contrary, 1t was expressly understood by the Utes, when consenting, alter long dissent, to the agreement of a cession of a portion of their Teservation, that the compensation named in the agreement was & Sum additioual to that they were then receiving, aud it cannot be made to appear to them in any other light than that the government has taken a large and valuable por- tion of their reservation, and now declines to pay them for it. It anould be stated, turtner, that these Indians bave at no distant day to be taken up and supported entirely to keep them irom depre- dating and fighting, as the Sioux are now fed, un- less they can receive such aid as will enabie them to begin their self-support in herding sheep and cattle. THE DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE. ‘The time is not yet fixed for the proposed con- sultation of leading democrats, numbering in all between thirty and forty. Ex-Governor McGomn, Reverdy Johnson, Jeremiah M. Black, Mr. Kernan, of New York, and Mr. Katon, of Connecticut, are named a3 among them. None of the present members of Congress have been invited to tne Conference. The object is to consider the present condition of political affairs, and what should be done by the democratsin the event ora calied session of Congress. Their action in the way of suggestion would then be reported to the demo- cratic members elect. : THE NEW ORLEANS COMMITTEE, Representatives George F. Hoar, Frye and Wheeler, of the Committee on the Affairs of the South, will not start or New Orleans till to-morrow night. Pinciback is expected here on Tuesday. A prominent republican Senator says Pinchback will %e admitted to a seat in the Senate, according to the determination of the recent caucas. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT. Owing to tne shortness of the session and the pressure of other business it 1s not supposed Congress will definitely act on the bill of the Se. lect Committee providing @ government tor the District of Columbia, but continue the present temporary arrangement with such necessary Jegisiation as its financial affairs require. THE VALUE OF THE FRANC. No intimations have been given y of the | Supreme Court Judges as to how they will decide the question concerning the value of the franc Piece. Conclasions on all questions are held by | them as confidential until publicly announced, Whatever Treasury officials may say on the sub- Ject ts supposition. | THE ALLUVIAL BASIN OF THE MISSISSIPPI She commission of engineers on the alluvial Dasin of the Mississippi will sena their report to the President to-morrow. The commission re- commends government aid for the purpose of re- claiming these alluvial lanas, and suggests the immediate appropriation of $1,500,000 for Louist- na and $500,000 each for Arkansas and Mississippi to close existing breaks and crevasses. Tne per- manent system of rec!amation of these lands will, the commission say, require at least $46,000,000, THE LOST ON THE BRIG HILDE. Havirax, N, S., Jan, 17, 1875.
