Earl Granville remarked that the list of new Measures proposed by the government was eagre, and thought that to leave the question of + the recognition of King Alionso open to Pariia- mentary c. iticism was unprecedented. The Duke o! Richmond replied that the govern. | ment would decide that question on its own re- sponzinnity. ALFONSO’S CASE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Jn ths House of Commons, during the debate on the adress, the Marquis of Hartington said he trusted that Alonso would not be recognized as King of Spain until there was some proot that he would rule in accordance with the wisnes of his people.

AUSTRO-GEBMAN OPINION OF CARDINAL RAUSCH- B'S CANDIDATURE FOR THE TIARA. Lonpow, Feb. 5, 1875, ‘The Times’ special despatch {rom Rome says efforts ha’ en made in ecclesiastical circles to ascertain whether tne Austrian government is in- clined to support Cardinal Rauscher'’s election to the Papacy; but that government has declined to Interfere, fearing that it will oe held responsible by Germany for <he policy of the new Pope. 4 THE POLITICAL ASPECT. It ts thought that the conservatives of Austria would favor the candidacy of Cardinal Rauscher if they should succeed to power. “SKETCH OF CARDINAL RAUSCHER, His Eminence Joseph Othmar Rauscher, Cardinal Prince Archbishop of Vienna, is in the seventy- seventh year of his age. He was born in Vienns on the 6th of October in the year 1797, and entered the ministry of the Churcn at an early age. He was created Oardinal on the 17th of Decemoer in the year 1855, end is regarded as one of the most eminent members of the Sacred College. The Church generally objects, it 1s said, to the idea of bis elevation to the Pontificate, on the ground of bis very advanced age. His rule would, in the natural course of events, be very brief, and it is thouzht that the Catholic clergy, speaking unl- versally, are adverse to the idea of having two Papal elections witnin a brief period of time, if the contingeny can be wisely avoided, MEXICO.

WASHINGTON. Close of the Civil Rights De- bate in the House. THE REVENUE PROBLEM. Democratic View of the Treasury Dilemma. MORE MILITARY INTERFERENCE. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 1875. THE PASSAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL—BUT- LEB COMMITS AN OFFENSIVE ATTACK ON MB. BROWN—DEMOCRATS VOTING AGAINST THEIR OWN PLATFORM—FINAL SUCCESS OF THE MEASURE DOUBTFUL, The Civil Rights dill bas passed the Houge at Jast, but in such shape that it ts very doubtiul if it will be accepted by the Senate. The school clause was struck out byavote which showed that a considerable number 01 republicans believed tt to be injudictous, But many republican Senators, however, believe that the bill is of itttle impor- tance without the school clause; and, while tbe whole bill, there will be an effort by republicans to Feinsert the school clause. The House met at ten o'clock in good humor, and by the time it took up the bill the galleries were densely crowded and the floor held many visitors. A Proposition was even made to admit ladies to the Moor, but it was negatived. Several members spoke of the day asa solemn one, but the solemnity was not eatirely unoroken anu did BOL prove to be oppressive. General Butler, as manager Of the bill, allawed fifteen minutes to Mr. Phelps, of New Jersey (republican), who spoke against the whole bill as contrary to tne constivu- tion and as proposing things which cannot be ac- complished oy legislation. He opposed especially the school clause as certain to destroy the common School system of the Southern States. Mr. Phelps was complimented by a number of republicans for &® party measure. Mr. Shanks offered as a pream- ble to the bill wnat he called an extract trom the democratic platiorm of 1872, in favor of equal and exact justice to all mien, which created some amusement. The democrats were called upon to vote for or against this, but it was discovered that Mr. Shanks had added a clause not in the Diatiorm—“Whereas it is the duty of government to enact general principles into laws’’—ana jor this most of the democrats reiused to vote, rightly holding that it is rather the duty of Congress to enact the laws only in accordance with the gen- eral principles laid down in the constitution, as one democratic member said. Alter some re- marks from Mr. Garfleld, General Butler, who was yesterday the hero of the day, apset bis Ketcie of fish and offended the House by & personal attack upon Br. Brown, of Kentucky, for which he was called to order, aud his words were ordered to po taken down. It is General Butler's misfortune that be is seldom offensive to his opponents withe out being also offensive to the whole House. The scone and the work of to-day reminded many old frequenters of the House of the days when, under the leadersnip of Thaddeus Stevens, strong measures against the South were pushed through, but it was remarked that, while Mr. Stevens knew how to use even more severe langaage than General Butler, he nad the skill to do it in such &® way as to carry witn bim | @t least Dis own side to turn toe laagh against his antagonists, Mr. Butler, unluckily for himself, oiten excites sympathy for those he attacks, and, though he has great readiness in rough repartee, ne has not the sharp wit or the quick humor of “Uncle Thad,” When Mr, Snaadks proposed to make @ part of the democratic platiorm the pre- York, asked nim to take a little more, and offered as an addition a further “plank,” sectiou 4 of tne democratic platform, “That local selr-govern- ment, with impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any centralized power;’’ bu: the republicans refused that, nor would it have fitted well ina bill which 1s @ very decided step toward centralization. HIS EXCELLENCY'S VETO FEARED, It is asserted here to-night that even if the | Senate should agree to the Vivil Rights bill, or it it should be arranged by @ conference committee, the President wul veto it. 4 COLORED MAN’S APPRECIATION OF THE ACTION OF THE HOUSE. The first fruits of the passage of the bill were sufficiently droll. The colored people of Wasning- | ton have taken an intense and even painiul in- terest in the discussion of tne measure, bunareds of them crowding the galleries every day. This afternoon & poor negro, having neard the Speaker declare that the bill was adopted vy the House, and having bad his head maddled, perhaps, by dis- cussions of the great transportation problems and subsidy questions, got intoacarand declined to pay lis fare, quietly deciaring that his people had now the right to ride free on the cars. ‘Ihe con- auctor was not able to persuade a man who had | Just seen a Civil Rights bill passed under his very the car under protest. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. WASHINGTON, Feb 5, 1875, THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE PUZZLING OVER THE NEEDS OF THE TREASURY—DEMO- CRATIC VIEW OF THE SINKING FUND AND THE ALLEGED DEFICIT—OPPOSING INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL INTERESTS. The Committee of Ways snd Means met the Com. missioner of Internal Revenue to-night to hear bis views on increased taxation. The meeting yester- day was unimportant, except so Jar as it de- veloped, with slight exceptions, the same views as were given in these despatches of the 3d inst. The proposition simply to restore the duty on tea and coffee was voted down, but the proposition to tax coffee, sugar, Whiskey, tobacco and to restore the ten per cent duty received & majority The democratic members, Messrs. Wood, Beck and Niblack, it 1s understood, are agreed that the sinking (und is not in default, but, of the required amount; that the cash in hand is far in excesg of the alleged deficit, according to the Treasury statement, while the receipts from internal revenue are so far in excess o1 the esti- mates jor the fiscal year; shat the castoms receipts are daily increasing, and the report of deficits ts fallacious as regards the estimates, Finally, that a judicious use of the means at hand, with the increasing revenues, would Make increased taxation annecessary tt it 1s only to meet the requirements of tne Treasury as set forth bythe Secretary. Mr. Wood will sur- it can be more surely got by a reduction of the tariff on @ series ol articles. Thisis certainly the attitude of the «lemocrats, who are not unsup- ported by their repuoiican colleagues, and while the votes already ¢ m by the committee were only tentative, there can be littie doubt that, as ® party measure, the duty will be put upon the ve articles enumerated, with the ten per cent On this point, however, Mr. Kelley, who ts next to the chair- man, takes issue with his republican colleagues. In reply to a letter from a manutacturing frm in his district, which Mr. Kelley has, at their request, given them permission to puditsa, he says:— “Yours of yesterday, covering memorial of yor seif dud workingmet to the senave and Hous at band.

Mr. Sheldon, of Louisiana, represents solely the sugar interest, and a large number of the planters are here urging Sheldon’s proposition to in- crease tne daty one-half per cent on all grades of imported sugars. ‘Tnis he hopes will, with @ correspondi:g increase on molasses, give an in- crease of iully $10,000,000. Another argument tn favor of this increase is that it will begin to yield revenue immediately, as the stock of sugar in this country 1s not large aud the demand is always steady. ‘Another important point which puzzles the committee is in regard to the articles in tran- sit in bond, assuming that @ tax bill will pass. A majority of the committee are of the opinion that all goods should be taxed that are in bond when the bill goes into effect, and ti the tax on tea and coffee, if imposed, should extend to cargoes im port on that day also, The reason for thisis that merchants are known to have anticipated the restoration of the tax ani orderea by cable large invoices of these articles, which will be on ship- | board when tne bill passes, Again it 1s argued that while tea and coffee are now on the [ree iist, and not subject to bonded entry, it would be un- fair to otner brancnes of trade to exempt tnese articles and tax imports in bond. The incretsed revenue trom the sudden withdrawal of goods in bond will, it is further contended, be sufficient tor all the purposes of the Treasury during the re- | maining months of the fiscal year, and will enable the Secretary to resume gold sales on the 1st of April, THE EDGEFIELD TROUBLES REQUIRING MILITARY INTERFERENCE.

New OBLgans, Feb. 5, 1875, In the cross-examination of Mr. Hunter, editor Of the Caucasian, before the Congressional Com- mittee yesterday, Mr. Frye read several letters from that paper, and asked the witness if such extreme ideas were his opinions, and he replied inthe affirmative. One of the articles callea President Grant an ‘iniamous drunkard and knave.” Another item couid be construed airectly into revolutionary advice. It asserted that no . deteated republican should ever take his seat in Rapiaes parish. Witness said :—My associate editor participated in the Grant parish massacre; the republican newspaper in Rapides was moboed and the mate- rial destroyed; the persons who ara it were em- Ployés of a democratic newspaper; my father, R.

THE DIPHTHERIA EPIDEMIC DENIED AUTHORITIES, The report that diphtheria is prevalent among the students at Princeton College is contradicted by Rev. Dr. Mcvosh and other gentlemen con- nected with the institution. A HERALD reporter visited Princeton yes.erday to investigate the mat- 1m the mischievous imaginations of some of the order to have @ series of holidays, Dr. McCosh statec that about twenty students are confined to their rooms, suffering from a disease somewhat similat to what 18 now raging in New York and New Jersey, which he terms gore throat, brought on by cold, He jurther stated that there is not & single case of infectious disease in the Golltes, and that the parents of the students need. not alarmed in the least. Nine-tentos of the students met bim in class yesterday, all of whom seemed to be in first rate heulth. Dr. Wikoff, one ol the visiting physicians, said that be attended the majority of the studencs, and be bad ound no oases of diph- | therla, There 18 @ disease prevailing all over town which is known as ‘.oillicu- lar pharyogitis,” or infammation in tne throat. This 1s @ poison prevailing as an epi. | demic, ana the cases lust irom five to ien days at | atime. He would not be at all surprised though if | diphtheria would visit Princeton during tne pres- ent winter, a3 it Was very prevalent in other | Parte of the country. Dr. H, J. uytie, another physician of the college, states that he nad attended iour cases oi dipn- theria in @ mild form among tye students. | Toey were not ail dangerous. He could not call the disease oy any otner Dame, although he had heard tnat other puysicians did not believe it was aiphtoeria. ‘bone prooability ls there will be mo more cases during the present winter. There was no reason jor alarm. Dr. 0. H, Bartine agreed with the foregoing statement, A prominent citizen of Princeton told the re- orter that ne had overheard a conversation jn & | boarding house woere students 2toppeu in refer- ence to some sensation they were avout to make 1p order to get away irow the college at examina- tion time, because tney had not studied ior that | event and hence were out prepared. Apparently 10 confirmation of the conspirator theory comes a secoud letter similar in tenor to the oe published yesterday, which we give :— Princeton, N. J., Feb. 5, 1875. To raz Epitor or tae Herap:— The Princeton epidemic is spreadiny frightfal Many of the students are taxing their departure, j although contrary to the express orders of the fuculty, who still hope tw hush the aifair up. dixty-three stu- dents are now prosirated. There are two physicians in the town, one of whom asserts that the disease is dipn- theria, the other aumils having forty cases ot one sort ot disease, nor do we believe that he wilt deny that it is epidemic It called upon to doso. As the taculty are ex- tremety anxious to hush matters up we suppose that ) Cards of denial wili be issued, which, to bear aay weight, should have a physician’s certiicate BBOAROG, sey.
