ALFONSO’S “BAPTISM OF FIRE” (SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.) Vuirava, Feb. 2, 1875. General Moriones entered Noonin, eight miles from Pampeluna by road from San- guess, situated twenty-five miles distant, on the River Aragon, to-day, with a force of 20,000 men. He will enter Pampeluna to- morrow and probably attack Oarrascal’ simul- taneously from the rear, having now turned that important position. THE CABLISTS OUTGENERALLED. The Carlists, with 3,000 men at Sanguesa, held the Sanguesa road, but were outgen- eralied by Moriones making them believe that his principal attack would be made at Carrascal, where they concentrated, while Moriones advanced on the other road. The Banguesa road was held by the Carlists at Monreal, also on the Aragon, thirty-five miles north-northwest of Teruel: 4 SEVERE BATTLE. The fighting was very severe. There are as yet no accounts of the number of killed and wounded. General Moriones’ troops suf- fered severely. THE ROYALISTS’ PLAN OF ADVANCE, If Oarrascal is attacked the attack will probably be followed by the capture of Pu- ente la Reina, distant thirteen miles south- southwest trom Pampeluna, on the River Arga. The attack upon Estella will then be re- pewed upon the battle ground of Aarzuza. The battle is only really just commencing. 4 SEBIOUS MOMENT, It is impossible to predict the result. Posnbly it may be to cut of farther com- munications. The Oarlists are abandoning Villada, and will rejoin the main army to-morrow.

THE PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. REPORT BY THE COMMITTEE ON RAILROADS ON THE SUSQUEHANNA RIOT AT THE ERIE RAIL ‘WAY—OPPOSITION TO THE SUSQUEHANNA BOOM COMPANY. HARRISBURG, Feb. 4, 1875. At the last session of the Pennsylvania Legis- lature the Committee on Ratiroads in the* Senate Was instructed to imguire into the canse of the riot at Susquehanna depot, on the line of the Erie Railway, and report what, ii any, legislation is expedient and to indemnify the State ior the ex- penses sustained and prevent a recurrence of simular difficulties, To-day the committee re- Ported that they had made a full investigation and come to the conciusion that the men employed in the railroad car shops who committed the acts of violence on the 25th of March, 1874, were at fault; that in no view can the Erie Rail- way Company be made responsible for the ex- penses incurred by the State, tor to do so would be to sanction Dy public authority the right to re- dress grievances by riot and breach of the peace. ‘The merits of ‘he controversy between the com- pany and the men have nothing to do with the question, The act of the men was aniawiul It was in defiance of the public authority, and tt was the duty of the Sherif und o1 the Governor to em- ploy all necessary force ‘to protect property and preserve tne peace. The company ‘aka not deem any legisiation necessary. Tne Susqaebanna riots cost the State nearly $17,000, THE SUSQUEHANNA BOOM ACT, The Committee on the Judiciary in the House to-day reported negatively ths biil | bebaeilin 3 for a@repeal of the supplement to the Susquehanna Boom act, which fixes the rates of tiie boom raiting and wedging at $1 25 per 1,000 feet, Bit committee claim that tnis action is im accoraance with an opinion given by the Attorney General of the State, who nolds that the proposed repeal of the special act would virtually amount to an amendment to the original charter of she corpora- von, and thet such an amendment of a special act ig positively prohibited by the constitutuon of Pennsylvania. The Susquehanna Boom Com- ny incorporated in 1846, its immense boom is located near Williamsport. Tne original charter of the company authorized a charge ot flity cents for boomage of jogs per 1,000 feet. At the commencement oi the war the char- ter was amended to allow an extra charge of forty cents per 1,000 lor rafting and wedging, and in 1866 tne company had a further supplement to their charter passed by tne Legisiature, increasing the rate of boomage thirty-ive ceuts, ‘the last advance was procured on representations that the company requireu it to complete a large dam Recessary to the profitable prosecution of 1s work, The lambermen agreed not to oppose the Jegisiation, with the understanding that as soon as the dum had paid itselr $160,000, the Boom C pany Should reduce the rate to its previous naard. The enterprise has netted the com- pany over $1,000,000, and yet tne oid charges are demanded. The jumbermen are making strenu- ous efforts to secure such legistation as will com- pel che corporation to put the rate down to nity cen's per 1,000 ject. If the bill prepared by the lumbermen {8 unconstitutional, as the Attorne: General thinks, another meeting will be held. Great interest 18 shown in the proposed neduction of the ooomage rates by New York and Pennsyl- Vania lumbermen, who are well represented here. The Personalities in the Civil Rights Debate. BUTLER’S LAMENTATION. The Bepublican Opposition to the “Strong Southern Policy.” EFFECT OF WILSON’S LETTER The Proposed Change in Counting the Electoral Vote. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasuinaron, Feb, 4, 1875, SCENE OF DISORDER IN THE HOUSE DURING ‘THE CIVIL BRIGHTS DEBATE—BUTLER AS A MARTYB—BEOWN, OF KENTUCKY, CENSURED FOR A SAVAGE PERSONAL ATTACK ON THE DEMAGOGUE. General Butler, who was last night so dolefal that there is a report that he wept in discussing the situation, and who, at any rate, was revarde as abeaten man, was the hero of to-day, and haa the day almost entirely to himself, and @ very exciting das, too, Mr. John Young Brown, member from Kentucky, early in the course of the debate this morning made @ brief but extremely savage personal attack on General Butler. Judge Hale, of New York, asked that the words be taken cown, and while the reporters were writing them out from their notes he prepared a resolution of censure, in which Mr. Brown was charged not only with une parliamentary language, but with “prevarication.”), ‘The latver charge arose outof the fact that Mr. Brown was asked by the Speaker, during one part Of nis remarks, whether he meant to make & personal spplication of them, and disclaimed that, bat did make a personal denuncia- tion at the close. Before Judge Hale's Fesolution could be put to a vote Mr. Dawes offered s resolution expelling Mr. Brown from the House, and upon this ensued an exciting debate. Jadge Hoar, it is said, wrote the Dawes Tesolation and took pains to make tt as personal 88 possible, and Mr. Dawes offered it beiore read> ing it over. Messrs, Cox, Hale, of Maine, and Lamar, of Miss sissippi, spoke very pertinentiy on the resolu- tion, opposing expulsion. Judge Hoar made what some republican members called a thoroughly ju- dicious speech in which be made the main offence of Mr. Young not the use of unpariiamentary lan- | guage, but prevarication and iaisehood; but he’ was oliowed by Mr. Lamar, who in & few woras, bolding Hoar to his own words, forced him to admit that be meant to speak con- ditionally, and, in fact, he dia not mean what his words meant. Lamar there dropped the Judge, who was not heard of any furtner in the debate, Mr. Fernando Wood took occasion to attack the Speaker for not keeping better order, saying that im former times order had been kept, but now none, but his remarks were not favorably received, Both sides of the House like the Speaker, who is regarded by everybody asan extremeiy iair man, the best Speaker the House bas kuown in modern days. Mr. Eldredge was not more fortunate than Mr. Wood. He sent’ up some extracts from old debates to be read, to show that Mr. Brown had not exceeded customary bounds; but Mr. Ellis H. Roberts said, 11 the language was onparliamentary when uttered, be objected to have it now reud, and the House agreed with him. Dawes at last withdrew bis resolution of expulsion, which could not have passed, and the resolution of censure was adopted. On the vote, by tellers, on the previons question a droll scene oc- curred. The speaker, remembering that Mr. Cox bad caused to be read, during the debate, some very strong language once used py Jadge Hale, of New York, toward Mr. Dawes, now called upon Hale and Oox to act as tellers, It is the custom that the two tellers, as they assume their places, shall shake hands, and, accordingly, Mr. Cox vigorously. shook Judge Hale’s hana, to the great amusement of the House and the gal- lertes. This scene did something to restore good humor, Alter the adoptior of the resolution of censure, General Butler, baving general con- sent, remarked that he had never obe- gun an attack on & member of the House, and asked any one £0 contradict him on that point who could. No one did; and Butler added that if ne were attacked he meant to make his opponent regret nis rasuness, There- upon Mr. Brown appeared at the bar of tne House, and, amid dead silence, received the Speaker's Treproof. This is aacene not often witnessed ip the House, and the galleries, which had been densely crowded all day, were awed into quiet while the Speaker uttered his few words, At the close Mr. Brown said he accepted the reproof, and Dad meant no disrespect to tne House, pausing a moment before he uttered the iast three words; and thos the day ended, and the Civil Rights bill is not yet passed. ‘THE PERSONALITIES IN THE DISCUSSION RE- GRETTED BY THE DEMOCRATS. Many of the leading democrats were displeased with the scene to-day, and regretted the munner to which it was brought about. They prefer or. derly proceedings, and while they will use all Proper means to resist the passage of measures which they believe to be unwise and injurious, | ghey desire to keep within the strict boundaries of parliamentary rules and decorum. MR. BUTLER LAMENTS HIS DEFEATED ‘GAG BULE”—RESPECTABLE REPUBLICAN OPPOSI- TION TO THE “‘STEONG SOUTHERN MEASURES” PROPOSED. ‘Though General Butler was the hero of the day, he is not comiorted. He cared littic, he said in conversation, for Mr. Brown's words, but ne ia- | mented that the Jailare to pass his “gag rule” enabied Mr. Brown to speak. He would have liked to cut him of with the previous question, He might, under bis proposed rule, have passed the Civil Rights bill with almost no discussion. He is persuaded that the republicans have blundered, and that the mew rule will preveat the adoption of measures on which he has set «his heart, and = =which are, as he appears to belie vitally necessary. it is probable that he is right. Every day's delay makes it less easy to pass through the House those “strong measnres for the South” which tne administration have determined on, and among which are said to be two years’ supplies for the army, provisional governments for some of the States and a law allowing His Excellency the President to declare martial law in Southern dis- tricts at his discretion. But there are a good Many republicans in the House who do not like such measures and will not support them, and their nomber 1s likely to increase rather than di- minish. EFFECT PRODUCED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT’S LETTER AMONG THE REPUBLICANS—HIS EX- CELLENCY TO BE LEFT BY THE PRESENT CON- GRESS DICT#TOR OF THE SOUTH. Many republican members of both houses re- ceive letters from their constituents approving of Vice President Wilson’s recently published letter, and there is reason here to believe that there is @ strong and growing Jeelng throughout the Northern States ugainst te policy of the ad- ministration as ruinous to the party and injurious to the country, The aificulty ts that in the country, here, there 1s no leader ready to form an- opposition within the republican party or to give expression to the thought whica ts in so Many minds, A convention | of leading republicans has been quietiy talked of, bat time is required to determine upon such action, @nd Congress ts so near its close that it is hardiy Possible now to influence that body or to change the purposes of those woo handle the majority in ite houses, The administration leaders have lost time aod opportunities, but y still hope to be able to bring jorward the measures tney re- gard a8 mos: important. It is not impos sible tha. they will leave the Sooth in tne hands of Mis Exceilency, taking care togive him such extraordinary powers as would be included in a civil rights law, martial law act and a considerable army, The general committee or cavcus which has in band the preparation of Southern measures does not wait for tue re- ports Of investigating committees. The report of the New Orleans sub-committee has not yet been Permitted to see tne light. THB DEMOCRATS UNATTRACTIVE TO DISSATIS- FIED REPUBLICANS—UNANIMITY OF POLITICAL THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE. It adds tothe diMoulties of the situation that the democrats bave not since vpened won confidence, and are further than they were three months ago from being able to rally to themselves the disnatisied part of the republicans. Tney have wise and capable men in botn nouses; but 1t 1s felt here tnat they have lost good opportunities in the country, especially in the Sqnatorial elections, TLere is a feeling that they do not want recruits, They have made the same biunder of which Henry Wilson accuses His Excetlency the President. ‘They have reiusea to taxe the best men wherever they could find them. “Nothing draws us to the aemocrats,” said avery able republican in con- versation to-day in the House, “I, for my part, abhor the measures which are proposed; but what Icanido. I could pick out five democrats and five republicans in the House now, who, coming together, could and would agree upons policy that would restore the country at once to peace and prosperity, It is so easy & task, and yet it is impossible, because party feeling reigns. and mod- erate counsels have no vhance of a hearing or of infuence.” FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT..

In the Senate a number of private claims wei disposed of, the heavier and tne doubtful ones being passed over to another day.

GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasutnaron, Feb, 4, 1875, THE ALABAMA COMMISSIONERS DECIDE AGAINST ‘THY CLAIMS OF BRITISH SUBJECTS—THOSE OF OTHER FOREIGNERS ADMITTED TO TRIAL-— AWARDS DECLARED. The Alabama Claims Court have rendered two important opinions regarding tne riguts of un- natnralized foreighers. The first was in the claims of certain subjects of Portagal. who, during the years 18¢2and 1865, enlisted in the commercial mi or whale fishery under our flag, in the ships Euphrates, Gen. Williams and Sophia Thorn- ton, and the bark Virginia, all of which were de- } stroyed by the Confederate cruisers. | Alteran elavor:te review of the general law and the taw constituting the Court, the decision is given as follows:— The public law of Christendom and the munt- cipal law of the land declare that foreigners, whether domiciled or temporariiy sojourning on our Soil, or whether on the decks of our sbips, trusting to tne security of our fag upon the high seas, are equally entitled to our protection against any wrong from apy foreign power, and are equally en- turled to sue tor their rights in our courts. There- fore, on the ground of abstract justice and pro- priety, and upon the ground ol legal night, we decide that foreigners entitled to the protection of our flag in the premises, wrether naturalized or not, have aright to share in tue distribution of this tund, In the other cases the claimants were subjects of Great Britain, This is also very elaborarely ar- gued, aud the conciusion reached ts as follows:— To take the most liberal and favorable view of the case of British sudjects sailing under our fag (as it is @ matter o: great doubt whether, in the cases alluded to, a British subject cau be regarded in the same light asa foreigner oi some otner nation entitied to our protection in the prem'ses), and as the only case reported of a British subject presenting a claim at Geneva woula seem to mili- tate against such @ cons'ruction, and as itis much safer fora court of limited jurisdiction to keep | Within the limits o/ its powers rather than to ran the risk of exceeding them, we therefore decide | that wotle foreigners entitled to our protection in | the premises, ouner than subjects oi Great Britain, | are entitied to participate 1a the distrivation of this 1und apd to sue in this Court, we cannot see that British subjects are so entitled, For the reasons given, the demurrer of the counsel for the United States was sustained, Julgment was rendered to-diy in case No. 11, ' Robinson (master of the bark Gypsey, destroyed | ; by the Shenandoah) vs. The Mnited States, in | favor of the plainti@ fir $6,971, | from the date of the destruction of the Gyp- | Sey.

Nothing new Was elicited, the witness being able merely to show from the books the connection between the certificates, and how, for instance, the first was retired upon Schamaker's indorsement, by issuing another fora lesser amount and paying the aif, ference in cash, Mr. Tenney repeated o tales ments of yesterday, that ne had no acquaintance with Schumaker and no personal recollection or other knowledge of the transactions o! the bunk tn regard to these certific: or the checks cashed, OPENING OF THE CANADIAN PAR- LIAMENT. .

But such was not the case, as Mr. Alvord’s motion prevailed, and the measure now will have to come up again belore the latter body, This position of affairs causes delay, suspicion and speculation. It \s stated to me on good authority that Comptroller Green’s handiwork is here apparent. Governor Tilden 1s also said to be opposed to the bill, Tbe provision giving all power of removal to Wickham, and thus taking away large priv- from the Executive of the State, is assigned as the reason for the Governor's opposition. {tis | also looked apon as suspicious that vote on the motion of Mr. Alvord (a republi- can) stood fifty-four in iavor to forty-eignt against, Several democrats voted with the repub- cans, and afterwards, in conversation, ex- Plained their position to friends by stat- ing they did not know the nature of the measure which was before the House. Ex- Planativn, however, of this cDaracter, is looked upon as frivolous, and many openly assert that Green’s lobby has done the work; captured a number of the democrats, who wiil now vote with the republicans on all measnres where this gen- tleman’s tenure of office isendangered.
