CHURCH BURNED IN, HARTFORD. e PATRICK'S HOUSE OF WO! CONSUMED 8T. NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1875—WITH SUPPLEMENT. | WASHINGTON. Partisan Lukewarmness in. the Repub- lican Caucus. The Shadow of the Third Term Darken- ing the Future. GRANT AN IMPEDIMEN'’ A Movement to Declare Against His Hope of Re-Election. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. seein amie WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 1875, THE REPUBLICAN COUNCILS LUKEWARM—NO PLEDGES TO BE SUBMITED TO—RADICAL COURAGE MODERATED—THE THIRD TERM SENTIMENT PARALYZING THE PARTY—THE PRESIDENT FEARED AND DETESTED, The republican caucus begins to assume some of the features of a decaying protracted meeting. ‘The taithiul and truly loyal meet tugetner night after night with painful zeal. Mr. Maynard presides solemnly and with assidaity. There ‘sno lack of speakers, most of them members whose diMdence prevents their voices from being heard in the House, but all of them inflamed with sentiments 01 the most exalted loyalty. Unfor- tunately the more they speak the less effect they produce, and the number of repub- cans who do not believe in a new rebel- Non continually increases, Last night’s caucus was particularly disheartening to any one who has a spark of patriotic feeling. The Speaker was absent, and while a few Southern patriots were fervently attempting to arouse the feeling of the faithful to the dangers of the situation and the horrible frequency of Southern outrages, a num- ber of members, of whom betier things might have beeu expected, stood around on the floor, and it was suspected trom their fre- quent and indecorous laughter, were telling each other funny stories. It must have patned Mr. Maynard and Judge Tremain to notice among these frivolous souls Messrs. Dawes, Garfield, Ellis H. Roberts, Phelps, Hale, of Maine, and & number of others—in fact, the brains of the republican side of the House. Mr. Tremain’s vigorous argument for the binding nature of a caucus did not seem to affect these triflers, and it is not surprising that one of the most eminent carpet-baggers was reminded by this unseemly spectacle of Nero fiddling while Rome was burning, and it must have grievously discouraged, him to hear one of the outsiders Temark that they might as well fiddle, because the’ fire from so far dia not seem to be very serious, One of the most exhilarating events of thé evening was the appearance on the floor of a new member, who fills the place of a deceasea Congressman for the remainder of this session, and having only about six weeks to serve addressed the caucus twice on the same evening with uncommon, though sad to say, effective eloquence. The caucus determined that there suould be henceforth allowed but one dilatory motion upon any measure before the House. As to @ policy, no egreement was arrived at, and it is very weil understood that a large number of republicans, | and those the ablest and most sensible men or the party, have determined to retuse to bind themselves to support or to vote blindly for any Measure which tue caucus may choose toadopi, If the caucus rule is insisted on they. will not remain. It ts possible, therefore, that even the prohibition of dilatory motions may not be carried out, if any violent measures should be adopted by the caucus and carried into the House. There is still talk of @ strong policy and of bills for two years’ appropriations for tne army, for provisional governments for five Southern States, for @ revival of the Martial Law act and for the establishment of a new revolution in Arkansas; but the courage of the independent republicans increases, and it is juss now doubtful whether such a series of measures, or any one of them, can be carried in the House, It is noticed that tne Senate caucus, which for a while ruled and began to dictate a policy, has assumed a less awe-inspiring attitude. The Vice President, who occupies an independent position, is busy counsel- ling moderation, and the great success in the country of his letter and = of ‘her expressions of his well known opinions against a third term and in favor of a conciliatory policy has produced a wholesome effect here. There are even a few people bold enough to whisper that the republicans have made a blunder in not Im- peaching General Grant, and, though such a thought is not openly expressed, it 1s very gen- erally coniessed by the ablest members of that | side that the President is almost the soie | obstacle in the way of a successful | campaign in 1876, It 13 seen that the | democrats are not united on a general policy for the country and that every attempt to unite them breaks down. “The only point on which they can hope to appeal to the country without fatal dil- ferences among themselves,” said an eminent Tepublican yesterday, “is non-interference BY FIRE—HEAVY LOSSES.

Much excitement prevaus at Los Angelos about x pra ome enange in route of toe Southero ‘08d in the South, and if we allow them to make that point they will beat us without doubt, butif we were wise we should cut tha ground irom under them, We could very well afford to repeal the enforcement acts, which are | the only excuse for federal interierence in the South, and then we should be able to face the democrats and defeat them, for that and the third term are the only points on which our own party would split, and on which the country would not support us; and without federal inter- erence in the Southern States the third term fades away and becomes ridiculous,” It is odd that from whichever side people here consider the political problem, the third term stands in the way. There is no doubt inthe minds of the most astute republicans that a clear ana outright declaration by the President against a third term, made authoritatively and published to the country in the express language of the President by a committee of republicans or by the Vice President alone, for that matter, would go very far to redeem tho repub- lican defeat of iast fail. Every member of Congress has & wide correspondence with his most important constituents, and all have reason to Knowand to dread the effect of the teeling against a third term upon their fortunes—all excepé the Southern republicans. That is to say, Mt the President should openiy declare against a third term they would probably begin to set their houses in order. It would not be surprising tf au attempt were made to unite the leading republi- cans in and out of Congress, betore the ses- sion closes, tn some definite and public expression againsta third term, 40 as to set the people's minds atease upon thisquestion.

LEGISLATION NEEDED FOB THE GOVERNMENT OF THE INDIANS—NO LEGAL PUNISHMENT FOB CERTAIN CRIMINALS, The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has written the following letter, which is self-explanatory :— DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan, 23, 1875. STR—1 have the honor to submit herewith a re- port from 0. P.

G. Grassman, Indian Agent at Yankton, on the sudject. iis crime having been committea by Indians on an Indian reservation there is no existing statute of law under which the party accused of the murder cau be brought to trial and punished uf found ene. This case is only lustrative of what is frequently happening in ‘the Indian service, and the nearer to civilization the Indians come the more fre- quent such cases § are likely to be irom the fact that bv civilization and restraint we debar the Indians from the exercise of thetr bar- barous mode of punishment under the law of re- taliation, and thus, practically, leave those in- clined to commit wrong witnout any restraint irom fear of consequences. This office has heretolore made its report on the matter and asked that steps be taken to procure legislation establishing the operation of common law upon Indian reservations, and these gecom- mendations have met with the iavorabie indorse- ment of the department to Congrses, out no legislation has been secured; and 1 respect. fully suggest that this case and its bearings be Jorwaraea to Congress as an illustration of tue dificuities constantly increasing in the Indian service by reason of the absence of law.

GREAT UNCERTAINTY AMONG POLITICIANS— JOHNSON’S CHANCES OF ELECTION STILL EN- COURAGING—HE REVIEWS HIS BECORD AND DEFINES HIS POLITICS—THE EFFORTS TO DE- FEAT HIM. NASHVILLE, Jan. 24, 1875. The Senatorial race ts now conceived to be on the eve of its termination, Throughout it all Jonnson has stood firm asarock and has ever présented ® sudlime spectacle, relying alone on his stern and conscious strength and his own individual merit, While other canaidates nave nad the active co-operation of the politicians, Johnson has aroused the most remarkable en- thusiasm on the part of the masses, who manifest it on every occasion. Jobnson has shown himself to be decidedly the choice of the people, but not of the politicians. From the very commencement of the canvass he has been relentlessly pursued by some of the other aspirants, who /eared nis power and strength. The politicians have thrown every obstacle in bis pathway. As soon as the question was fairly brought up little was heard out the cry | ofacombivation against Johnson, and macbina- mons toward that end at once commenced and still continue. Alter twoor three days of ballot ing it was shown that his competitors could only attain to a certain strength. A caucus of tite aspi- rants was held, all active candidates save Ewing participating. The only object of the meeting was to beat Johnson. BREAKING UP THE PROGRAMME. As I have already informed you, there was ar- ranged a programme, which they endeavored to carry fully into effect yesterday, but failed by mere circumstance. Brown first withdrew irom the race amid a storm of enthusiasm from the galleries, Quarles, who was thought most san- guine of reacuing the Senatorial goal, never had the ghost of a chance, really sacrificed himself, and was iollowed by Stephens, who was at frst thougnt to be the only man who could beat Jonnson. this was followed by rounds ol applause. ‘Then came the tug between Johnson and Bates, in which the latter was defeated vy tnree of Brown’s iriends refusing to support him, thus disarranging the programme And creating intense Jeeling between rown's and Bates’ acherents. ‘The speil was then broken by an adjournment. Though Bates soared to forty-cight votes, within one of the number required for an election, it is generaily couceded since that he cannot hope jor success, the abilities of the two men is so widely contrasted. Bates is believed to-day to have lust strengtn. A score of the iriends of both Bates anu Johnson have been working with the greatest assiduity. The talk to-day is that Colonel Gus Henry, known to ante-bellum times as the “Eagle Orator oi Tennessee,” will re-enter the race t.enorrow, and that Judge James Bailey will be put in the field and Bates be swamped by a division of the votes, for tc 1s conceded that whoever 18 put on the track Johnson will still coutinue to hold his strength solid. There 1s much talk also of pucting Brown again in the race, Both Brown’s and Stephens’ friends have changed atthe turn affairs have taken, being not at all anxious to see Bates elected. Brown evi- dently intended by his withdrawal to make capital for the race two years hence. Were Bates chosen his hopes in that respect would be frustrated, as Middle Tennessee cannot hope to ere ® continuous succession to the Senatorship. East and West Tennessee are jealous in that respect, equal division being demanded by each of three grand divisions ol the State, which are too much considered as separate States in one. CHANCES OF BATES AND JOHNSON. itis reported that the Bates men had a caucus to-day and determined to use every eifort to push him througn. ates 18 woiquitous, an is making desrerate strides toward achieving success. Johnson remains in his room, into which his iriends are’ constantly pouring. The rulings of the Speaker up.to yesterday had been unlavorable to him, Whenever it was seen that ms chances were appreciating a motion was made and scarcely a vote of the House was re- quired for an adjournment; but Speaker bond came out yesterday and said that Johnson alter all, Was the man for the country, and he would cast his vote for him. He was loudly =‘ Spplauded, and no further trouble 13 apprehended in that direction. Johnson seems to be ploughing througn every obstacle and 1t 1s thouxht be will be electea to-morrow. Those of lis supporters who were absent yesterday have been te.evrapned to and requested to comg at once to Nasnville. Com- mittees have, beside, been sent after them. ANDY’S POPULARITY. The terrible biow received in the failure to re- elect Car! Schurz irom Missouri has had great enect in Jonnson’s iavor, The people are bitterly oppose to sending weak aud unknown men to Washington to wrestie with the momentous ques- uous which are to arise in the Piesi- dential canvass. Of ,all the candidates in the race Johnson and xwing are con- sidered most capable ; Stephens, Brown and Bates ranking in the order in which they cone, Constant effort has been made throughout the past week to read Johnson out of the democratic party. ‘Those caudidates who bave withdrawn tor the sake of harmony claim to be representatve men ol! the democracy, and are disposed to throw cola water on Johnson, because, sorsooth, altnough the strongest canuidate, alter every sort of com- bination bas been made against hin, he has not seen fit to withdraw for the seke of harmony, | tbat a more harmonious candidate might be se- lected, ana might step into Brownlow’s shoes in his steal. It as been charged that Johnson has sought in the past tu make odious the ex-Conted- erate soidier, that he has assaied the democratic party; tiat he is no democrat, and therefo e ought not to be elected Senator. These charges have been so constantly repeated to Johnson’s preju- dice that an ex-Comiederate roldier interviewed him on the subject. propounded, Ju JOHN: £3 HIS POLITICS, N DEF “My whole public acts demonstrate that 1 ex- hausted all ine poweis and prerogatives of the office of President in bdeball ot Contederate sol- | diers, and 1 weut gp iar thac Congress, under the influence of an extreme party spirit, repeaied the amnesty act authorizing the President to pardon rebels, ‘Tnen [ fell back to the pardoning power under the constitution, and under this power, on the 25th of December, 1868, 1 issued | @ prociamation of general amnesty, releasing and reueving all tnose Who had tuughtagainst tue flag, ‘Tnis Was assailed by the radical leaders, out the | Sup.eme Court oi the United States has within the past year, 1 beiteve, decided tn my favor.

THE CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION. ‘The investigating committee were profvundly impressed yesterday with the damaging nature of the evidence adduced against ‘he action of the Re- turning Board, and it is generally believed that in all pertaining to this part of the investiga- tion they will indorse the report of their predecessors. Mr. Hosv, in conversation to-day, admitted that the political situation here was both a pecuilar und & novel one, He expressed himself ip favor of a new election under the control of General Sneridan, and was anxious to ascertain whether it would satisty the people. Both himself and Mr. Ferry freely credit the reports of outrage ond ostracism lately Prepared for the committee at the State House, and profess to bave received additional private evidence asto their truth since arriving in the city. They are evidently bitterly prejuatced, and the latter1s open in expressing his belief in the Gecessity of sustaining the radical party measures for the protection of the colored people.

Charles Kingsley, Canon of West- minster, whose death, in his fifty-sixtn year, is just announced vy cable from London, was one of the most distinguished men of nis day. He was born at Holne Vicarage, in Devonshire, June 12, 1819, and was a son of the Rev, C. Kings- ley, Rector of Chelsea. We are told in the staid and somewhat stately biographies of this dis- tinguished man, which have been repeating them- selves in the Engilsh papers and periodicals irom. time to time, that he was “of an Ancient family to Cheshire, the Kingsieys of Kingsley, in the forest | of Delamere, in tuat county, who date from a | period anterior to the Conquest, and who suffered severely during the civil wars irom their faelity | to the cause of the Parliament. His ancestor's } | commission to raise @ troop of horse has long been in the family; tt is signed vy Oliver Cromwell and Ireton. This Kings ley’s younger brother emigrated to America among the ‘Pilgrim Fatners,’ where the family still flourishes, and where one of them—Dr. Kingsley, who was classical professor at Yale Col- lege—lately died, distinguished and lamented. General Kingsley, who commanded a brigade at the battle of Minden, was one of the Rev. Charles Kingsley’s ancestors.” .Mr. Kingsley was edau- | cated at home until he was fourteen years of age, when he became a pupil of the Rev. Derwent Cole- | ridge, son of the poet. Subsequently he was a | student at King’s College, London, and Magdalen | College, Cambridge. At first 1t was his intention | to study for the law, but aiter devoting some time to preparation tor that protession he changed nis mind and became a clergyman. He was for a year | and a half curate at Evesham, & moorland parish in Hampsnire, when the liviog became vacant, and ne was presented to tt Pye batron, Sir Joho | Cope. Asaclergyman Mr. Kingsley at once be- | came boted ior his stern adherence to uncompro- | mising truth, and as he mixed muca_ wita | the working classes he was especially able | to appreciate their wants and neeas. | Out of his championstip of the or sprung the wutle of the ‘‘Uhartist Parson.” by | which he was so widely known, In the stately biographies to wulch we have already alluded, we find bim described as one of toat smal bouy of | men who, ever alive to the miseries of the opera- tive classes, were more especially aroused to ac- | tion by the revelations of Heury Mayhew, in his | papers on ‘Libor aod the Poor’? These men, witn | the Rev. F. ), Maurice at their head, convinced | that no one class ts chartered to revel in luxury | while anuotver 1s doomed to toll, yet lack the ne- cessary means of existence, ana believing that | they came into tiie world on purpose to snare in its Work, set about inquiring how they could best | ameliorate the condition of the afflicted and hail- starved poor. They had leit their hals and mane | sions to Leach iu nolsome, ragged schools. They | had given and given in money until the conciusion Was jiorced upon them that indiscriminate alms Was ofcen a premium to idleness, So they thought that if they could assist them to help themselves & great point might be accomplished, With | this view tuey calied conferences, at which par- | sons, lawyers and peers met numbers of artisans | and Jaborers to aiscuss their wrongs and remedies, | It was considered that the best thing to do would | be tosetthe operatives up in business on their | own account and to combine capitalist and labor in one person, As the tailoring trade was then eliciting special attention and its “sweating sys- tem” held up for general execration, it was de- termined to commence the experiment with « “Working Tailors’ Association.’ Funds were sub- scribed and lent to it at an interest of tour per gent, The scheme was launched and succeeded. Other associations in various trades jollowe with more or less success, Mr. Kingsley power- juily contributed to their success by his lectures, tracts and the novel of “Alton Locke,’ whicn nad a tatior tor tts hero. These biog- raphers add, however. that tb as an author Mr. Kingsley ts best. known. This esti- mate of the man maybe a true one, Jor he was never so much a Chartist as @ champion o! the | poor; but his “Alton Locke,” which 18 by all odds | his best bnok, owes its success as much to its | Chartist principles as to the strong and Vigorous Saxon in which it is written, It 1s @ book marked | by great originality of tnougnt, and the hero-tatior, in spite of the Opposition Which the Enghsh press | threw in the way of the success of the work, ts | now one of the recognized paladins of fiction, character of (8 Opposition is vary amusing the lapse of a quarter Ol a century, the popularity of the book having outiasted the remembrance of the criticism. “ti Mr. Kingsley bad reaily been a | tailor,” said the London Quarterly Review, “the | Style and sentiments ot ‘Alron Locxe’ would nave excited little surprise or even notice; te ts the Strangeness and imcongruity of the ‘extbition | which creates by much the larger share of its at traction, ‘The things themselves are neither new nor rare; We wonder how the mischict they came there, Tt is only as falling from the pulpit and the pro- fessional chait that such trast could make any impression, could excite even curiosity,’ But | “Alton Locke,” though it was Mr. Kingsley’s bes! | Was not nis fist work, As early as 1842 he hai | published & volume of “Village Sermons,” and he naa already shown himsell a lyric and dtamauc | poet or much merit.
