RIGHTS FOR CUBA NOT TO BE PRESSED A rumor here that Senator Carpenter intended to head a movement im the Senate for accordiug belligerent rights to Cuba is showa upon inquiry to have no foundation, Senator Carpenter thinks, ashe has always thought, that the government ought to take such action, and he would be glad to lead or follow such a movement, but there is no such movement or any probability of itat present. The leading frends BELLIGERENT | of Cuban independence say that such a movement ig not advisabie at this time, nor will the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs in either house propose such action without the suggestion or consent of the Secretary of State. THE ARKANSAS TROUBLES CEASING SINCE GOV- ERNOR GARLAND'S ACCESSION. In the House to-day Judge Poland, from the | | Arkansas Committee, offered @ resolution that neither Congress nor any other department of the government has any need to interfere in Arkan- 8a8 affairs, and he will call this up for action on Monday or ‘Tuesday. Senator sargent, in the course, of his speech, gaye a list of 1,167 murders and attempts to kill said to have been committed in Arkansas, and argued from this the absclute necessity of federal inter- ference, These deeds, he said, were committed between tne time of the reconstructed State gov- ernment and the accession of Governor Garland, His bloody jist turus out, however, to be a strong argament in favor of the Gariana government, for Mr, Sargent only lett it to be in- ferred what outrages and murders con- tinue there, He conid not assert this, and, in fact, the State is 80 entirely at peace now, as the Arkansas committee’s report says, “that Mle and pro, erty are as safe there as in New York or Ohié.”” A despatch receiyed here to-day from Governor Garland, in reply to Mr. Sargenws remarks, says:—‘The number of murders com- mitted in this State since the new government went into operation is hve. The killed are one colored and one white republican and three demo- crats, Politics had nothing to do with the killing of any of them. Mr, Sar- gent’s murders prove only that there was | formerly @ bad state of things In Arkansas, which bas been entirely remedied by the Garland gov- ernment, and would seem to show conclusively that this ought not tobe disturbed. murder is that of A, H. Furbush, @ colored man, Sheriff of Lee county, Though a republican, he car- Tied bis county by bis own influence in iavor of tne new constitation. Lee county is strongly re- publican, and has 1,700 colored voters, Furbush appears to have beeu a man of force. In a letter to the President, printed witn the Arkansas Mmes- sage, he accused Senator Dorsey of stupendous frauds, and added, “I nave had to be a political slave ever since I have been in the State, either to Clayton or Dorsey.” The Arkansas Message lies dead in the Senate. Senators seem to be afraid to touch it, and it 18 hardly likely to be | called up. TESTING THE INDEPENDENTS. The executive session of the senate, though ostensibly ior the consideration of the Hawauan treaty, is generally believed to have for its chiet | object the confirmation o! certain appoiutments | of the Central Paoific Railroad Company will also month being se‘ected because it inciuded the sea- son when the mails would be likely to be used toa@greac extent in forwarding holiday goods. From these startist.cs it appears that of vhe 4,543,048 pounds of ail classes of matter mailed during that time at these fifty ofices there was | 8% per cent of first ciass matter, 61% of the | second class and #0 per cent of the third class. | Samples of merchandise occupied less of the mail facilities than books or avy other class. Mr. Bangs says itis not probable that the mails will ever be used to forward articies of particular value or delicate texture great distances, | | excepting between places destitute of express | facilities; and, ne says, this mating merchandise should be retained on account of its mMiny advantages to the public: | He argues, however, that there should be one | untiorm rate and weight for ali articles of the third class, and shows that, in most cases, this would not increase the present cost of transporta- uion, In conciusion, he claims to have proved that the deficiency of the Post OMlce Department is not in any way attriputabie to samples of merchan: | dise or other third class-matter. PACIFIC RATLROADS. 3 i The Caninet to-day considered the proposition of the Union Pacifie Ratiroad Compuny, which has | been amended so as to make the Sinking Fund | commence in 1872, applying to it the amount now | due the Company trom she government; then the company, beginning in 1875, to pay $500,000 per | year in semi-annual payments for ten years; after | this $750,000 semi-annually for ten yeas; then $1,000,000 per year, until the aggregate sums meet the bonded debt and interest; also to allow the government to apply all transportation and mail dues, as fast as received, to the above sums. Any deficiency between the amount due by the govern- ment and the obligations of the company is to be made up by the company every six months, The Cabinet decided to send this proposition to Con- gress, with @ recommendation that action be promptly taken, 80 the government could begin to realize its benefits July 1, 1875, The proposition provision {or be submitted to Congress at the same time for similar action.

The Army Appropriation bill, which, it was thought, would give rise to acrimonious debate, | passed the House to-day in the most quict man- ner, and goes to the Senate for action by that body. caucus, offered an amendment to provide for two years’ appropriation for the support of the army ; but Mr. Wheeler, who had the bill in charge, raised the point of order that unexpended appro- priations, by the act of July, 1872, would be covered tuto the Treasury at the end of the fiscal year, and so the amendment was not entertained, and thus ended this part of the great subjugation scheme. PROBABLE PASSAGE OF THE TAX BILL, Mr. Dawes will endeavor to get up the Tax bill to-morrow and finish its consideration in Com- mittee of the Whole betove tie time for delivering the eulogies On deceased members arrives, Sev- eral members of the Ways and Means Committee who heretoiore doubted the passage of the bill | now say tnat the indications are that it will pass by a bare majority. AMENDMENTS TO THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL. The Senate, inan evening session, discussed at length the Indian Apvropriation ili, Mr. Windom’s amendment to increase the sum for the support and education of orphans in the Cen- tral agency trom $10,000 to $35,000, and afterward to $30,000, was rejected, while his amendment to authorize the purchase and shipment ot goods in this fiscal year when necessary to in- sure their reaching their destination by the Orst of the ensuing fiscal year was agreed to, as were also various changes recommended by the Committee on Indian Affairs, among which was one appropriating $600,000 the subsistence of the Arapahoes, Cheyennes, Apaches, Kiowas, Comancues and Wachitas in the Indian Territory, Mr. Stewarws amendment to aboiish the Piute reservation in Nevada was agreed to; while the proposition of Mr. Stevenson to pay the Chickas»wg atrears of interest on Arkansas and Tennessee bonds was ruled out as a private claim. THE PROPOSED LOUISIANA COMPROMISE. Senator Leonard of the Loutsiana Legislature arrived to-night, as the coadjutor of Major Burke, to effect a compromise by which the disturbed condition of Louisiana may be ended. It is under- stood that Mr. Wheeler will not yield the point requiring the conservatives to acknowledge the Validity of the election im 1872. It is understood that the President has informed Mr. Wheeler that he would not regard any compromise, which would be merely @ truce, as deserving his ap- proval, Major Burke says he will not be a party to the adjustment of a plan which sacrifices principle for “peace at any price,” though he will not op- pose Senator Leonard if that gentleman desires to accept the Wheeler proposition entire. BROOKLYN NAVY YARD NOT TO BE CUT UP FOR MARKET PURPOSES, The petition of the citizens of Brooklyn,. through the Mayor of that city, to exchange twenty-two acres of the Navy Yard site jor @ lot on Little strect, in that city, will, it is said, be adversely re- ported upon by the House Naval Committee, be- fore which the Mayor appeared and gave the ri sons for the proposed exchange, ARMY REFORM. The Senate Committee on Military Affairs will give immediate attention to the consideration ot the regulations for the better government of the Army.

Some of the afflants residing at or near Brownsvilie say thelts of horses and cattle are committed in open day as well as night, and not unfrequently are accompanied by murders, Jormed of what had happened, but they took no steps to aid in the recovery of the stolen cattle, A petition to the Governor of Texas represented that there was no protection to persons or prop- erty outside of Texan towns, and very little to property anywhere, and therefore they applied to him to authorize the raising of minute men ior protection, The committee will meet on Wednes- day to agree upon a report concerning the subject, CONFERENCES. There have gathered here during the week a Bumber of leading liberals from New York and other States, Their consultations with Senators The confer- ences do not appear to be confined exclusively to themselves, but to include quite a number of prominent gentlemen who, though not having sympathized wirb the Cincinnati movement, seem to be fully in accord with the opinions there an- nounced, which they suppose to be tending to 1n- dependent political action by the people. THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

ARKANSAS AND PINCHBACK. POLITICAL OPINIONS 4S TO PINCHBACK’S REJEC- TION BY THE UNITED STATES SENATE—A MERITED REBUKE TO GRANT. LITTLE Rock, Feb. 19, 1875, ‘rhe vote in the United states Senate yesterday | rejecting the credentials of Pinchback has been | | the subject of considerable comment in political | circles to-day, in view of the bearing it may have upon the Arkansas question. Democrats are of | an opinion that it is a merited rebuke to Grant on his Louisiana policy, and will havea benefictal effect a3 a stepping stone to the reyection of his | recommendations regarding Arkansas, Repubii- cans claim that the vote indicates a disposition on the part of Congress to repudiate all irregular governments in the South, and, should that be done, Governor Brooks’ chances for recognition are appreciated, as the Garland government 1s held by them to be @ usurpation in tne Legisla- ture to-day.
