The weavers of Aquidneck Mill, in this city, who track for higher wages January 14, have gained their point, ana to-morrow morning will resume work for twenty-seven cents per cnt, the price they offered to work for at the time of the strike, The mill has been closed in the meantime, and tne Weavers have been determined to hold out until their demand, which appears to have been a just one, had been complied with. There is much re- jotcing at the happy turn which the matter has taken beiore any suffering has ensued in conse- quence. The Perry Cotton Mill notified their weavers yes- terday tl they had been compelled to cut down the price also to twenty-seven cents per cut, and they were to date the cut down irom January 16, This Das given some dissatisiaction, as the weavers claim that they should have been noti- fied beiore. They have been getting heretotore 31% cents. Jt is ciaimed that they cannot earn as mucb with their icoms as the weavers of Aquia- meck Mills, They. will to-morrow request that they be paid twenty-nine instead of twen y-seven cents per cut. They have sense enough, however, to take no steps im the matter which will lead to the throwing out of work those in the otne: depart | ments of the mill. it 18 believed, however, that an amicable settlement will be made. AN ATTEMPT TO RESUME WORK AT FALL RIVER, Fai RIVER, Mass., Feb, 7, 1875. It is understood that the Merchants’ Mill, at present on strike, will attempt to resume work tomorrow and that ample police arrangements have been made to prevent interference from the strikers. The weavers’ committee have issued a circular caling on the operatives to allow no provocation to incite them to acts which will bring discredit upon themeeives and their movements.

NEw ORLEANS, Feb, 7, 1875. The projected compromise still monopolizes pub- Me attention, anda strong debate is anticipated at the conservative Legislature caucus to-morrow. A careful canvass of the members indicates @ change so far of only four or five votes—not suf- ficient to overcome the majority by which it was originallypassed, Both the Times and Picayune support the proposition, the Bulletin alone Oght- ing tt vigorously. KELLOGG’S SENTIMENTS. Kelloge’s friends have been very active to-day among the democratic legislators, and he to-night is more confident of ita success than ever. He com- plains bitterly of McEnery, who, he says, can’t possibly get his position, yet will not let him fill it, He is determined to have it settled somejway or anotner, and willdo anything and everything the committee may require of him, regardless of oppo- sition trom political friends or foes, The general opinion among all factions inclines to the belief that the measure in its present shape will fail, but that some modification of it, which tis sup- porters intend introducing to-morrow, will meet With better success. If not, it is more than likely that @ number of conservatives will enter the Habn Legislature, Im contemplating such an eventuality, many of the democratic members in- cline to favor it a8 preferable to the compromise proposition, Among them is Speaker Wiltz, who prefers making an open battie with the adminis- tration to treaty with it, THE REPUBLICANS ARE ELATRD at securing a breach in the conservative ranks, which they regard as already past healing, no mat- ter what disposition be made of the compromise measures. The St. Charles rotunda is full of poll- ticlans to-night, gll in eager discussion upon the subject at issue. A great diversity of opinion is expressed. THE CONGRESSIONAL INQUEST. The Investigating Committee have dectded to examine no more witnesses after to-morrow, and will probably start on their return to Washington the following day. The republican members have flatly re(used to enter upon any investigation of the events of the 4th of January, although it was urged that much time had been frittered away on adducing unimportant testimony, and a half day would serve to bring out all the facts with regard to the organization of the Legislature and the ac- tion of the miittary. DANGER TO SHERIDAN'S FAME. Judge Marshall used all means in his power to induce them to enter upon the subject, but with- out eméct, It is now confidently believed by the best iniormed, and your correspondent has reason to fully indorse the belief, that this refusal was inspired by @ fear that such an investigation would reveal the fact that General Sheridan and not Emory was personally in command of the military upon the 4th of January, and personally issued the orders which ejected the conservatives from the Legisiature. {t 1s charged that the tacts of the case have been wilfully perverted and mis- represented at Washington, and that a proper investigation by Congress will substantiate this varies THE COMING REPORT. The report of this committee will undoubtedly sustain the action of their predecessors as to the illegal action of the Returning Board, every mem- ber having already publicly committed himself to that effect. Judge Marshall has not participated in the com- Promise movement, owing, he says, to his not having been consulted officially upon the subject by the conservatives. He denies that the com- mittee have had anyihing to do with the matter in their official capacity, and says it is entirely an in- dividual proposition. To-morrow he publishes a card to that elect. a SHERIDAN’S RETURN.

Progress Made in Solving the Taxation Problem. FUTURE ‘TREASURY NEEDS. The Bepublican Majority Abashed by South- ern Submission, THE UNFINISHED WORK. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. WASHINGTON, Feb, 7, 1875, THE REPUBLICAN RANTERS IN CONGRESS FIND THEIR OCCUPATION GONE—PEACE IN THE SOUTH DISARMING THE PROPOSED ‘STRONG POLICY SIGNIFICANCE OF THE REPORTS OF THE LOUISIANA AND ARKANSAS COMMITTEES, Tne regular work of the session—the appro- priations necessary to carry on the government— begins to press Upon both houses. Only twenty- three days remain of the session, including Sun- Gays, and 80 much necessary work is yet to be done that it does not seem possible for Con- gress to do much more than this. The chance of passing “strong measares for the South’? grows less and less daily. The attempt will probably be made, but the republicans are not in- clined to have the new Congress called together On the 4th of March, and they will be careful not to delay the appropriation bills too long. The de- ates in the Senate continue, and show no sign of ending. The democrats have caused it to be clearly understood that they will not delay any appropriation bill, but will give way at any moment for tne introduction, examination and pas- sage Of any of these bills; but, aside from this, they are prepared for discussion, and the Civil Rights bill, the Louisiana question, the Arkansas ques- tion, the Pincubsack question, all offer tempting topics. Meantime the peaceful condition of the South—the lack of outrages, is the most embar- rassing part of the Southern problem to the ad- | ministration men, A good batch of Southern out- rages is needed to fire the hearts of Congress- that General Sheridan had left New Orleans tor Chicago raised a ‘smile here, It was a very obvi- ous lowering of the danger signal. The report of the Arkansas Committee, following upon the re- port of the New Orleans Sub-Vommittee, has its effect in making thoughtful members question the wisdom of further interference in Southern | affairs, There can be no doubt that the Southern people can now heip the cause of good government, as well as themselves, very greatly by extreme care in _ preserving peace and order. The quiet and orderly attitude of New Orleans, in the midst of the intense ex- citement caused by the dispersion of the Legisla- | ture and the despatches of General Sheridan, did more than @ hundred speeches in Congress to make harsh legislation unpopular in Congress. Every day’s quiet in the South is worth a dozen days’ debate. The number of republican members who disapprove of harsh measures tor the South is | slowly, but constantly increasing. It is highly | desirable for conservatives in the South to under- stand this, and to know that the friends of peace and of constitutional government tn the republican || | party here get their strongest moral support from the fact tnat peace and order are seen to prevail 1n.the Southern States. It 1 not too much to say the light is breaking on the Southern problem, and that the order and peace at New Orleans have bred a feeling here which 18 very much opposed to'violent measures. / FROM ‘OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 1875, THE TAK BILL IN CHARGE OF THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE—PROPOSED EXACTION OF TRIBUTE FROM NATIVE PRODUCTIONS. The Committee on Ways and Means had a long session yesterday which resulted in nothing but wrangling as to what should be taxed and whether it was expedient to tax anything. Personaily, the eleven members of the committee are agreed that it ig not politic to increase the taxes; but, polite. cally, they are divided, and as Mr. Dawes, the chairman of the committee, authoritatively an- nounced in the House yesterday that it was only @ question of time when the nation would be unable to pay its debts out of the annual receipts {t the taxes were not increased, the re- pubiican members of the Waysand Means Com- mittee have prepared themselves to agree to tax any and every article which will give the Treasury the required tunds to sustain the credit of the gov- ernment. The return of tea and coffee to the | @utiable list is the most unpleasant proposition before them. To tax spirits and tobacco is not | not see how they can go belore the House witha bill which proposes to tax mainly home products and leaves out foreign imports. The proposition to tax sugar one-half a cent per pound on ali grades | algo developed unexpected opposition in the com- mittee, and it was asked what profit it would be tothe Treasury if @ pronibitive tax was put on the low grades. In addition, it was shown that the refiners throughout the country, notwith- standing their large business, were in straitened circumstances, and an indiscriminate increase of the tax would surely paralyze this branch of industry. The democratic members asked .why @ tax of three per cent should not be put on na- tional banking associations, why gold sales and speculative business, which adds nothing to the wealth of the country, or why incomes should not be taxed, it the republican members were so anx- fous to avoid offending the masses and not the moneyed interests of the country? The restora- tion of the ten per cent duty has so far been warmly opposed and Mr. Dawes, who was deputed by the committee to respond to all inquiries as to what they have done, bas found his taskan easy one and that too without going the length the com- mittee gave him of “doing their lying for them.” The meeting to-morrow morning Will be followed by an evening session, and 680 on until the bill ts | ready to be reported to the House, which will be 1m not less than three or four days, PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW MINTS IN WESTERN CITIES.

A number of persons are here to urge the selection of one or more of these places for new mints. It is contended that the present cost ot forwarding ore, principally silver, to Philadeiphia bears severely on the shippers, who want to draw against it at the place where they purchase their supplies, a8 Chicago and St. Louts. Merchants will not take bullion in ex- change for merchandise unless tt bears a United States mint mark, It {ts claimed that ifa mgt were established at Chicago shippers could draw ‘against bullion ag cash. An enterprising private assayer there is said to have agreed to put up the necessary building, free of cost to the govern- ment.

HAYS, 0.6.4. | State, and at the breaking out of the revellion ac ‘The death of Brevet Brigadier General William Hays. of the regular army, occurred yesterday at Fort Independence, in Boston Harbor, William Hays was one of the many heroes of the late war. He was born in Richmond, Va., moved to Tennessee, and was appointed cadet at West #otnt in 1836 by General Jackson (from the Nash- vil'e district). The General, writing to him at the time, said:—“I hope you will sustain the military character of Tennessee, and never draw your | 8Word except against a foreign foe or tn defence of the Union.’ The old hero had his hope fulfilled to the letter. General Hays proved pimsell worthy of his iriend. Among bis class- mates were General William T, Sherman, General Nathaniel Lyon, who was killed at Wil- son's Creek, Mo., August, 1861; General Stewart Van Viet and other officers who distinguisned themselves tn the federal service during the re- erals Ewell and Bushrod Johnson, of the Confed- erate service. Graduating with his class bigh in rank and orderor merit youag Hays was breveted @ second lieutenant of artillery and detailed to the Second regiment for duty. He found himself at- tached, on reporting, to Duncan’s Light Battery, and with that famous body of men en- tered tne Mexican war, being present at Palo Alto, where he first went under fire. at the battles of Resaca de la Palma, Monterey, Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Cherubusco, Molino del Roy (where he was wounded) Chapul- tepec and at the San Cosmo Garita, When peace was declared Captain Hays fired the salute in taking down the American colors from the na- tional palace in the City of Mexico. During the year Hays was repeatedly mentioned by General Worth in his despatenes for gallant action in all of the engagements his battery participated in, When the war broke out in 1861 Captain and brevet Major Hays was stationed at Fortress Munroe, and his edorts in organizing the reserve artillery for the Army of the Potomac in 1862 and 1863 led te 0 his being assigned to the headquarters staff of Gen- erai McClellan, with the volunteer rank of Lieuten- ant Colouel. On reporting to McClellan for duty Hays was gi command of the reserve artillery he had done so muct to form. As chie! of this m- portant branch of tne reserve forces Colonel Hays served at the battle of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill and Antietam, uader »cClelian, and also at Fredericksburg, under Burnside. After that disastrous campaign Hays was appointed @ brigadier generai of —voiunteers, and commanded a brigade in the Second corps, under General Couch, When Hooker crossed the Rappanannuck General Hays led uis origade in the battle at Cnancellorsviile, May, 1863, where his horse was snot irom unaer him and he was taken prisoner by the my. The Generai only surrendered alter a desperate resist- ance, and so flerce was the fire encountered vy his staff that three of the aids and two orderiies were wounded. -On reaching Richmond, Va., bis birth place, General Hays was confined in the Libby Prison, but was exchanged during the fol- lowing June, and on rejomming the Army of the Po- tomac he /ound it on the march, being assigned to General French’s oid’ division in the second Army corps. As division commander Hays entered upon the Gettysburg campaign, and when mand of the second corps The drat riots and | the troubles in, this city attending the evils of bounty jumping and the loose sys:em of recruit ing that prevatied in 1863, made it necessary !or the federal government tw send an experienced and vigorous officer to restore and maintain order. | General Hays was selected tor the position, and | as Acting Assistant Provost Marspai General he svon succeeded in periecting a system that ob- | viated all tie previous trouble and contusion, One of his orders at that ume was intended to States unuorm, General Hays direcied that any individual found im untiorin, without autnority or right thereto, should be brought before any provost marshal, who was to strip off all shouider straps, buttons or other ornaments indicating rank or service. The result was that many “brave novodies disappeared from the streets, much to the relief of ail veterans, After this date General Hays was not in the field. In 1865 he was brevettea Colonel and Briga- diev General in the regular army, his tuil rank being that of Major. At the time O/ his death ne Was tu command at Fort Independence, He died Of organic disease ol the heart. m WELD N. ALLEN, U. 8. Lieutenant Commander Weld N.

He was about | forty years Of age, and @ native of Main took charge of the Lighthouse district of Portland, June 18, 1873. He entered the service on the 24th of September, in the yeur 1870. He had also served | on ordnance duty in tue Brooklyn Navy Yard. THE EARL OF YARBOROUGH. A cable telegram from London, ‘under date of the 7th instant, reports: harles Anderson Pel- ham, Earl of Yarborough, died yesterday, aged | forty years.” His lordship was Baron of Yar- borangh, in the county of Lincoly, Lincolnshire, England, and Baron Morsley of Appuldur- ; combe, in the of Wight. He was | bora on the l4th of January in the year; 1835, and married, on the 3d of April, 1858, Vic- toria Alexandrena, the fourth daughter of William, Eari o/ Listowel. He leaves a number of children. Lord Yarborough at one time rep- Tesented the electors of Great Grimsby in the House of Commons. He succeeded to the peer- age on the death of his father in tne year 186: The family descends from William Pelham, one of the most eminent milt- tary commanders of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, The deceased peer was a devoted | yachtsman, and was greaily beloved for nis Manly qualities and good nature. The readers of the HeRaLp will recollect our report of the ex- citement which was produced in England at one period during the past year in consequence of the existence of & report of his sudaen disappearance, It was rumored that he had been murdered. Rivers were dragged and the most out-ol-the-way laces ransacked in searches for his body. The don police were nonplussed. His lordship was at length unearthed. He was tound snoozing, “like @ lord,’ in one of the rooms attached to the House of Commons. Full of legisiative ardor he had insisted on taking nis seatin the House. A iriend, who observed his rather feeble condition, remonstrated with him, and at length, finding remonstrance usele: jJocked him in ana forgot all about him. He wa restored to light and liberty alter ashort time, but | it may be that he took no warning ‘rom cue un- | Sugsien event—and the Earl of Yarborough 1s dead, AARON KEMP. In the death of Aaron Kemp, which occurred at his residence in this city on Saturday evening, aiter a brief illness, we are called upon to note the loss of another of that class of eminent merchants, wno, like the late Jonathan Sturgis and ex-Mayor Havemeyer, have done so much toward New York’s commercial greatness and prosperity. Mr. Kemp was born in Salem, Mass., in 1811, and his education was completed in France. On his re- turn he engaged im mercantile pursuits in this city with his father as an importer and dealer in sugars, teas and ship stores, The discovery of gold in California and the rush of emigration thither induced him to turn his entire attention to the manufacture of canned goods, now go extended an industry, In 1830 Mr. Kemp became a member of tne Third and subsequently of the Seventh company, Twenty- | seventh (pow Seventh) regiment, National Guard, For over tnirty years be contanued on the active list, much of this period as an officer on the regi- mental staf, In the memorable Astor piace riots | of May 10, 1849, when the Seventh was called upon to enforce obedience to the laws, Quartermaster Kemp was severely injured, having been struck five times by missiles from the hands of the rioters. On'the breaking out of the Rebeilion, when Presi- dent Lincoln's proclamation for troops was ed, Mr. Kemp, then Regimental Paymaster, gave his entire exertions and credit toward the speedy departure o| the gallant Seventh, Through- out the war Mr. Keup contributed largely from his_ private fortune toward the cause of the Union. For over thirty-fve years the firm of Kemp, Day & Co., 0! which he was the senior part- ner, hus been located in Wall street—a mercaniile Kemp's decease will be regretted by @ iarge circle of friends and acquaintances, but by none More than, those to whom, by his unobtrusive | which is supposed to be Yandmark fn that ever-changing thoroughfare.

Jean Francois Millet, the distipguisned jand- Scape artist, @ pupil of Paul Delaroche, died om Wednesday, January 20, at Barbazon, pear Fou- tainebleau, France, in his sixtieth year. He die@ where for years he had lived. Like most Frenom painters of his age, his career commenced with the study of ideal themes; but, although he studied under Paul Delaroche, he speedily ound out the special direction of his own genius, dud since 1848 he has been a profound student of rastice infe.

MELBYE, PAINTER. {From the London Academy, Jan. 23.] The Danish painter, Professor Vaniel Hermam Anton Melbye, died at Paris on the 10th inst. He Was the most successful artist that Scandinavia has produced since Thorwalsden, and by sheer good fortune had risen to be the most tashion- able sca painter in Europe. Almost ignored imp eclectic art circles, he enjoyed boundless popu- larity, especially in France, among the wealthy and undiscerning furnishers of great houses, He was born at Copenhagen in 1818, and began li in very poor circumstances a8 @ shipbullde apprentice, Tiring of this, he took up music as profession, and tried as weil as he could to subsist as @ troubadour. The sudden wish to be a sea painter drove him to the studio of Eckersberg, then in the neight of his fame. The old master en- couraged and helped him, and in 1840 he exhibited his first three pictures at Cuariotsenvorg. these had the good tortune to attract Baron Rumonr’s attention, who introduced the young painter to Frederick Vi. Melbye's fortune was made; he w: sent in the Royal corvette Flora to paint tn & Baltic, aud next to Morocco, where he took pars. in the bombardment of Tangier and was neariy killed, In 1847, having gained all the nonors Den- mark could give him, he settied im Paris, Almost immediately he became introduced to Louis Phi- lippe, who took him under his spectal patronage. In 1853 he travelied with the French Embassy to the East, lived nine months in Constantinople, aud painted sea pieces jor a new patron, the sul- tan himself. Then, returning to Paris, Napoleon and his Empress patronized che (ashtougable Dan and the latter wouid have taken lessons of him im drawing if the reckless Melbye had not three conm- THE DANISH | secntive times fatied to come at her appointment. | In 1858 he came once more to Denmark, and them returned to Paris to settle cill his death.
