FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, WASHINGTON, Feb, 14, 1875. THE REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION TO EXTREME MEASUBES—LOUD DISAPPROVAL OF THE CAB- PET-BAG POLICY——THE PRESIDENT DISTRUSTED, ‘The opposition to extreme measures has con- siderably increased in the House since the arkan- sas Message appeared. There are repunlican members who favor strong legislation, who yet are shocked at the President’s tone and do not any longer like to trust great and unlimited powers in his hands, The Arkansas and Louisiana Committees, when their reports are dis- cussed, will give occasion for the utterance of feelings which have been long pent up, and an attempt will be made to res- cue tne republican party from the position in which the President has placed it. “I for one,” said a republican yesterday in conversation, “am not content to see my party used ® tail to the President’s kite. We cannot afford to go the way he is steering. The coun- try will not stand tt.” Another said, “vad as Andy Johnson was, he, at least, regarded constitutional methods. He wasatiresome crea- ture, with his constitution, but he was safe, This man goes the other way, and itis nota safe way. We have gone far euough and we ought to tie up before the boat goes further, for bis drift is dan- gerous.” “I don’t mind dying, but I don’t want to die like @ dog in a ditch,” said a life. long and zealous republican. “if the party has done its work and must die, all right; butI don’t like to see it go down dis- honored and stained.” There is a great deal of private talk of this kind and the opportunity is near at hand when it will be heard openly on the fluor of the House, It needs only a fair op- portunity, If the carpet-bag republicans were out of the way it is even possible that an attempt would be made to repeal the Enforcement acts, and it 1s certain that many republicans would vote for such a repeal rather than trust the President, in the absence of Con- gress and with the temper he has recently shown, with such powers as the caucus bill proposes, and as the Arkansas Message shows that he would use without stint. HIS EXCELLENCY’S ENDEAVOR TO INFLUENCE THE TESTIMONY OF THE ARKANSAS COMMIT- TEE—THE REVOLUTIONARY CAUCUS MEASURE DENOU NCED. The revolutionary scheme concocted by the re- pudlican House caucus fs not unlikely to stirupa breeze. The moderate republicans, who nave been deeply alarmed at the tone of the Presi- dent’s Arkansas Message, and at the avowed plans of the Brooks faction to drive out Garland when Congress adjourns, and their confidence that the President will help them, are not inclined to trust greater powers in the Executive's nands. It has become generally known that the President ald call to him che republican members of the Arkansas Committee and that he tried to impose upon them his views, which be expressed in vene- ment language, declaring that unless Brooks was made Governor of Arkansas the whole of the Southern States wouid be lost to the republican party in the next election. This attemps to influence the verdict of a committee of Congress sent to investigate facts and report upon them, and to influence them to make a partisan report for partisan purposes, bas aroused indignation and alarm. Many republicans feel that it is not sale to leave the Arkansas matter open. They lear that unless Congress positively recognizes the present government the President wiil, under the fead of bad men who surround him, not hesitate to act, even without warrant of law. ‘THE EXPECTED REPORT OF THE NEW ORLEANS COMMITTEE—THE SUB-COMMITTEE CORROBO- RATED EXCEPT IN THEIR VIEW OF THE WHITE LEAGUE. The New Orleans Committee are here and will bave @ meeting to-morrow. Mr. Hoar proposes to make @ report to the House as soon as possible snd within three days the furthest, Judging irom the conversation of mem- bers of the commiitee it seems probable that the report which the whole committee will make will not differ matertaily from the sub-com- mittee’s report, except in the matter of the White League, which the members just returned ap- pear to think @ more mischievous organization than did the sub-commitice. It 1s not impos- siple that there may be @ minority report, for Mr. Frye, of Maine, 1s said to be very violent and to entertain opinions which ao not agree with those of the majority of the committee. The proposed compromise by which Kellogg would be firmly seated and the conservatives would have a majority in the Legis- lature has the countenance of all the substantial conservative citizens of New Orieans and o! Louisi- ana atilarge. They do not pretend to believe it just, but they are willing and ready, s0 it is here said, to accept the terms for the sake of peace, and because a settlement of some sort is necessary in order that industry and business may goon and that the people may be able to live. McEnery appears to be losing the confidence of the conservatives, who think Penn @ more trustworthy leader. All that can be learned here irom members of the committee ana from Louisiana conservatives shows that the pro- posed compromise 1s @ short and effective way to @ peaceable and final settlement of the Louisi+ ana troubles, which would have the support of the best and most influential citizens. A number of Louisiana republican politicians have followed the committee. Among them ts Marshai Packard. They wiil probably try to influence the conclusions of Congress. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 1875, ‘THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS OF FRIDAY EVENING— SPEAKER BLAINE IN OPPOSITION TO THE SUS- PENSION OF THE WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS. There Laving been some erroneous reports of Speaker Blaine’s speech in the republican caucus of Friday evening last, the following is given as an authentic outline of all he said: — The Speaker confined his remarks wholly to the proposition for a general suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, and made no reference whatever to any other subject. He stated that he could see no possible reason for giving the President the power to suspend the great writ at his discretion im Maine and Michigan because there was a dis- turbed condition of affairs in Louisiana or Missts- sippi. If there is a condition of affairs there to Warrant it let the suspension ve confined the disturbed districts. He could not see why Southern States like Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, that were now try- ing to sustain good governments, should be menaced and excited by @ suspension of the habeas corpus. Moreover, the pending proposi« lion was unlimited as to territory and unlimited astotime, The bill, if 1t should become a iaw, would confer upon the President of the United States for all time to come, whoever that President might be, the right and power to suspend the habeas corpus, at his | sole and absolute discretion, in any city, county, districs or State within the Union. felt great respect for President Grant and would trust him as faras he would any ex- ecutive oMcer, but he would never vote to confer this autocratic power apon any President, now or hereuiter. Even tf n0 actuai harm should come from it for a long period of years, the people | would in the end become too much familiarized | with the suspension, and would jose that intense Jealousy of individual, personal itbercy which is the great characteristic Of the Anglo-Saxon race, and which all our legisiatioa should stimuiate Tather than repress.

He passed through bis reguiar term of service in the New York Hospital and soon aiter went abroad, pur- suing his studies chiefly in London, where he was @ pupil of Sir Astley Cooper and Mr. Abernethy, of whose teachings and example he through itle retained @ grateful remembrance. He returned to bis native country alter about @ year's absence, and In connection with, the late Dr. John Kearney Rodgers established the New York Eye and Ear Infrmary in Novrem- ber, 1520. Of this institution he was an attending surgeon until 1850, woen he was elected consulting surgeon and in 1870 Vice President, In this, his first public professional enterprise, he maintained the warmest interest through Iile, and much of its splendid success may be fairiy credited to his active Jabor and his wise and pru- dent counseis. Soon after the foundation of the infirmary he became a@ partner of Dr. Bonowe and was early iniroduced into a large and lucra- tive practice, In 1834 he was appointed one of the attending physiciaus to the New York Hos Pital, a position which be held forfour years.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb, 2, 1875. His Majesty, King Kalakaua, Governors Dominis and Kapenaand suite are again on the broad Pacific, their memorabie visit to the United States @uspiciously and satisiactorily completed; and with favoring winds are speedily making their way homeward on the flagehip Pensacola, Their visit has been delightful, but, like the Frenchman, they will never become good travellers, They had become thoroughly homesick alter their brief ab- sence from their insular residence, and, In spite of. all the alluremente, glamor and variety ol foreign loiterings, like poor Payne, they think “There's no piace like home."* Not that they have not thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the United States, for they admit, in ex- travagant language, their supreme pleasure with everything they have seeu, from fMrstto last; but the charms and enticing associations of the troptcal clime so familiar to them quite over- balance any sense of noveity and enjoyment they felt here, Possibly they have trea of the long round of /etes, festivity and tunctions which they have been caWed upon to undergo at the hands or their generous hosts, the American people. One cannot dine eternally upon partridges, and balls, dinners, parties and rou/s in endless succession goon pall upon the taste of the gentle Sand- wich islanders, So itis that we find His Majesty, Governors Dominis and Kapena and suite very happy to be welloutof the roar and shouts of American official society, safely and in‘ormaliy stowed away in the quiet, comiortable quarters of the frigate Pensacola, tree trum terrible visitations of inebriated Aldermen and beyond the reach of long-winded speechmakers, A LAST VISIT TO THE KING, It was in tois most amiable and satisfactory mood that I found the King in his snug quarters an hour or two before bis departure at the Grand Hotel, Governor Kapena, Lieutenant Commander Whiting, young Ben Holltday and one or two other gentiemen were present, their countenances beaming like autumnal moons over the rims of gleaming glasses of Mumm’s private vintage, and all engaged in the exhilarating exercise of spin- ning personal yarns connected with the events of the past two months. The advent of your corre- spondent was tne signal for deep draughts and silence, broken quickly by a cheeriul welcome to the incomer from the King and his suite, After a mild recognition of the genial social in- fluences of the /ruity champagne His Majesty seated me by his side, and, without suggestion or pumping process, so familiar to the professiona, interviewer, freely unfolded his experience in and views of his American tour, and, like our Pres- ident over a cigar. Of course I cau only give the Sailent points of a long and general conversation, which was protracted quite into the shor: hours; but I was impressed with the sense of perfect de- ligat and satisfaction which seemed to imbue His Majesty as he rapidly sketcued his trip across the Continent to Washington, New York, Boston and Western cities, where he was the recipient of the Kindest and most flattering attentions. The beauty of the American women appeared to have made @ marked impression on our royal visitor. He was altogether unjrepared to see so many charming and beautiful ladies, and was really dis- turbed by the embarrassment of riches of this kind. am sorry that 1 cannot reproduce here the critical analysis of the various tyyes of beauty presented by Washington, New York, Boston and St. Louls, with the strictly artistic conclusions of our royal guest, but L fear that nis specific verdicts would excite too many jealousics and bad Jeelings for me to venture upon such dan- gerous ground, He certainly woula not be ada- verse to the annexation of Wasaington, New York or St. Louis to his kingdom, if the transfer could carry with it the brilliant bevies of handsome and Jascinating ladies that smiled upon him while so journing in those cities. Tne Kinz of the Sand: wich Islands ls not the only foreigner who has paid his tribute to the beauty and worth of our American women, and so I pass the fact by with this brief allusion. HIS MAJESTY AS A FIREMAN. His Majesty, in tne days before he wore the purple, dispiayed a very decided penchant for “fire laddie”’ duty. He worked bis way, in tact, from the lowest rounds in a fire company to the exalted position of Chief Engineer of the Fire Departments of Honolulu, and Was always on hand to mam a brake, direct bis battalion in subdjugacting a confagration or dance all night ata ‘suuds ball’ and go home very late in the morniug, like a good and true fireman, and all this tor the cause alone. There are no perquisites or salaries known in the Sand- wich island rire Department. The formal display Of A division of the maznificent organization of tne New York Fire Department very naturally im. | pressed the King. The Commissioners and the Chief Engineer made a great hit on that occasion, and if ills Majesty ever forgets that wonderiul exhibition of trained force, directed by supe- rior intelligence and animated by generous zeal, he will no longer count himself one of the genuine firemen, He speaks in enthustistic terms of that private exbivition of the admirable New York organization, and con- fesses new surprise when he observed the ex- traordinary discipline of the torce, displayed when a “real” fire broke out not more than a block away from the scene of the trial, which for a | time threatened the destruction of a numoer of buildings. The King, as a fireman, thinks tat nothing but the wonderful eiiciency and discipline ofthe New York Fire Department will prevent a catastrophe which once or twice overwhelmed Chicago, He thinks the streets are so narrow | that a great fire would surely sweep the city, but | therein I think the Commissioners would take issue with him, Honolulu, of course. is not New | York, and the King’s impressions may be alto- gether wrong. However, he 1s willing to go on the | record, as above, fle was also greatly pieased With the display of the St. Louis Fire Department, which he regards as in every Way admirable, and especially lemarked the extension was practically tested.
