FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, WasaINGToN, March 5, 1875, THE PEOPLE AND CONGRESS—POLITICAL RESULTS OF THE LATE SESSION—THE THIRD TERM DANGER LESSENED—CHANGES OP NORTHERN OPINION TOWABD THE SOUTH. The political results of the session which has Just closed form the subject of conversation among Congressmen of both houses remaining here, and as the work of the last three months was felt to bea campaign preliminary to 1876 its bearing pon party prospects is inter- esting and even important, when tt 1s con- sidered that members of Congress judge of Political results, not from the narrow public opinion of Washington, but trom a pretty accurate Knowledge of the feeling of the country, because the opinions of the constituencies are well known here and thoroughly compared, The general con- clusions in which the ablest men here agree may be stated as follows:—1. The last two months have undoubtedly iowered the President in the esteem of his parcy and lessened his influence with the | man, (dem.) republican leaders. His imperious conduct lost | him some time ago their confldence and affection. The notable defeat of the President’s Arkansas pol- | icy and @ reaction even among strong administra- tion Senators against the Force bill are felt here as | 60 serious @ blow at General Grants party sup- Temacy that for the moment the third term | spectre is laugbed at. So far from re- nominating himself, he could not to-day even procure the nomination of his own | mn,” said a promiment republican to-aay, and a significant sign of the change is the tact that one of the most conspicuous Southern third-termers yesterday remarked that General Grant was not his candidate, and suggested that he and some other Southern men had favored the third term idea, not because they liked it, but “be- cause it was the best way of getting what they wanted from the old man.’ Whatever may be in the future, this Congre goes home with little fear of a third term. 2 The defeat of the administration plan of carrying the next election by means of the Force bill and the suspension of the writ of haceas corpus Makes new calculations necessary. The mod- erate republicans go home full of courage and determination, Two months ago they were for the most part demoralized: and Teady to give up. the people at their back, 8 The country would rather see a republican than a democratic admin- istration, if tt could fee) certain that the repubil- cans would secure peace by constitutional meas- ures; “because with us the people would be certain that no serious injustice would be permitted tn the South, while they are not sure how far the democrats would go,’ said a leading republican. “But this assurance can come only from the man we nominate, 2nd not from any platform prom. ises, for 1¢ will be character and not platforms that will carry the day in 1876.” 4, All thoughtful men feelextreme anxiety that peace and justice shall be maintained in the Southern States, The Southern democrats, who dread tne con- tinued misgovernment of their States and fear @ third term fally as mucn as any repnblicas, have gone home determined by all means to pre- serve peace and order, and feeling that this ts, as one of them said the other day, “our only salva- uon from Grant.” 6. Lt 1s thought by the moderate men of both sides, that the discussion of Southern matters through the press and by means of inves- To-day they believe they have | tigating reports to Congress during the last three | | can side and neariy every Senator from the demo- months, his greatly changed Northern opinion, as it certainly nas the opinions of the ablest North- | ern republicans in the Bouse, The desire of the great majority of the House was for justice, and When it was shown that injustice had been done or was threatened in Louisiana and Arkansas, the reaction set in very strongly. THE OPENING OF THE EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENATE—SWEARING IN OF THE NEW SEN- ATORS-—ANDBEW JOHNSON’S RETURN TO THE CHAMBER. The Senate galleries were densely crowded this morning, & great many ladies being present, in spite of the snow storm, to see the new Senators sworn in. The galleries cheered Senators Burn- side and Andrew Johnson, and the latter, as he retired to his seat after taking the oath, was pre- sented with a modest bouquet by a little page, who had been assiduously schooled by some of Mr. Jobnson’s admirers to hand it to bim at the proper moment. The old man looked very little ike a warrtor this morning. He does not appear to be in good nealth and some of his family are serionsly tll at home. His face bore the mtid and benevolent ex- pression which it bas when his passions are at rest, and he seemed to feel the solemnity of the occasion as he stood there, a member of the Sen- ate, In the presence of some men, now his fellow- Senators, who seven years ago attempted to im- peach him, Curiously enough his face and form were unknown to many prominent members of the present Senate. He was the object of much kindly attention and = after the adjournment of the Senate was compelled to hold a little levee in the remote cor- as well as gentlemen, strayed to see him and to offer him their congratulations. He seemed a lit- Ue dazed witn these attentions, and was, as he told @ lady, tired with his journey and with anxiety for the sick members of his family. The democratic Senators appear to be a little shy of him, is a feeling that he is 4 party for himself ana thac he may prove a8 much a hindrance as a help to tnem. He certainly tooks older and feebler than when he withstood Thad Stevens and the repub- lican party in the White House, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, ———_——— WASHINGTON, Mareh 5, 1875.

Alihough the weather was very disagree- able and a severe snowstorm prevailed, the ladies were not deterred from attending the opening of the session, and the galleries were filed with them long belore the hour of meeting. By bali-past eleven o'clock it was impossible to obtain standing room even in the doorways, ana hundreds were compelled to leave without gain- ing @sight of the Interior. Upon the floor of the Senate curious visitors were hunting out the seats of Andrew Jolnson, General Burnside and other prominent Senators who were to be sworn in. Upon the desk of Andrew Jonngon, on the demo- cratic side of the Chamber, as well as upon that of Mr, Dawes, on the republican side, were hand- some bouquets placed there by admirers of those Senators.

Alter the oath had been administered to Mr. Jonn- Son, a handsome bouquet was handea to him by one Of the pages, with whom it had deen leit by some of the friends of the ex-President. Messrs. Booth, (rep.) of Cal., ana Sharon (rep.) of Nev,, not having reached the city yet, did not respond when their names were called.

THE CHARGES AGAINST THE DIRECTORS OF THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD—INVESTIGATION DEMANDED—MINORITY REPORT OF THE CON- GRESSIONAL COMMITTEE, WASHINGTON, March 5, 1875. The following was prepared last spring by the Hon. E. D. Standeford, member of Congress from Kentucky, to be presented to the House of Repre- sentatives as the “views of the minority” of the | | Pacitic Railroad Committee on Mr. Luttrell’s reso- lution calling for an investigation of the affairs of the Central Pacific Ratiroaa, and the Contract ana Finance Company. As the majority of the com- mittee have never yet made any report to the House on this subject Mr. Standeford has, of course, been debarred all opportunity to present his views. The termination ol the Congress, how- ever, leaves him at liberty to give them publicity, and they will be found of interest. One or two other members of the committee agreed to his conclusion, but would have adopted a somewhat different mode of reaching 1t:— As one of the committee on the Pacific Railroad, to preamble and resolution asking ‘for the appointment of @ committee to invesiigate the affairs and expenditures of the Central Pacific Kailroad, f offer the tollowing 4s a minority report of said committee and say :— Tam competied to difler with the majority of this com- mittee ax to the necessity and practicymility of the ntral Pacific Rail- road, and believe that the investigation asked for is | prover and imperatively demanded by the necessity of | the case, This road is a creature of subsidies and cona- tions granted to it by the cuited states; im. land, amounting to many million acres, and in bonds loaned to the amount ot $2/,83,120, upon which have & reaay been paid more” than’ $3006 ‘by this govern- ment. Besides this munificent ‘aid rendered by the United States, the State of Calitorn 's various corporations within her ter and donated large sums in money and land to aid in ity construction; ana itis asserted that the Sute ot Nevada and the Lerritory of Utah lave increased the amount by valuable grants, ihe United States have certainly the right which Justice to its taxpayers demands should. be strictly and tine used and only for the objects intended to be accom- plished.

Newrosr, R. L, March 6, 1875. Governor Howard presented a report of Onief Constable Northup to the Senate this afternoon, reiative to the official interierence of Untted States Marshal Coggesball at the recent seizure of luqu ors, which were under the protection oi the State. His speech has, it 1s said, caused & pro- found sensation throughout the State. The fol- lowing 18 the substance of the speech:— THE GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS. In the collision between officers of tne State and the United Siates 1 was called on by a member of ‘he constabulary force and informed of ap exis ing dificulty and asked to tnteriere in the matter. It seemed to me on an examination of the lacts that, although there was no doubt in my own mind that L might direct a portion of the military establishment of the state to sustain the State Officers of law, yet prudence roqnivet that the question might better be decided by a Cours than by an intervention of the military. Beside, I was Teluctant to bring the military into antag. opism with the police of tne city of Provis dence. I therefore directed the constabulary to make no further effort to seize the liquor then held by the United States Marshal and Chief of the Police. As @result, this has been placarded as a victory On the part of the United States Marshal and his Deputy. It seems proper that | should therefore say tnat pusilanimity, if any, 18 mine rather than wat of the state Constabulary, and obloga@y, if any, is mine, COLLUSIVE ATTACHMENTS, I agree fally with the universal opinion that these attachments are collusive, and @ thinly- | disguised sham, and | share a general sense of to which our Com- monuwealsh Was suodjected, realize, also, the gravity of the situation, and recognize tt as our wmperative auty to take measures for an early aud proper adjustment of the question. here have Leen dinned into our ears lor the past six months threats with regard to Fort Adams and revenue cutters; but so long as these threats were words and idie words they have been treated as such, Yet whentt is gravely Stated by a respectable and intelligent journal that troops irom Fort Adams and the United States Revenue cutter Samuel Dexter nad been placed at the disposition of the Marshal, {¢ seems proper to ask, WHY IS THIS DONE? Whom 1s it desired to attack? Not a foreign foe. Not a turbulent community in rebellion. it must be, then, lor a purpose; waging war on the people of @ Stave, a State whose people from the date of its settlement have | been noted jor their intelligent conservatisin and patriotism. it may be improper lor this hon- orable body to consider such menuces so loug as they are Menaces. But now that issue Is directly forced, I think it ought to recetve your attention, Your presence here, Senators, 18 @ mockery and farce. 11 such proceedings as these are sustained by tho federal government your honorable judici- ary and Executive may as Well resign their office and leave the contrui and direction of St affairs to the subordinates of the United States govern- ment. A GRAVE QUESTION. No graver question has been forced upon the State since its first settlement; tt ts a vital ques- tion, for in it are involved the sovereignty of the State and the harmonious relations o1 the State with the United States, ‘Tne little State of Rnode Island 1s entitied on such points to an equal re- spect as larger States or the general government | itself, [make no argument on this question, The | matter is in the hands of the General Assembly, | and [am contident it will be adjusted in such a manner as to vindicate the honor of the State and Maintain the tutegrity of the laws. 1 have not the ington, When this matter is properly commuai- cated to them, will promptly and emphatically | condemn, and repudiate the proceedings of the Marshal in these premises.

END OF ALL PARTY BITTERNESS—THE PEOPLE SETTLING DOWN INTO AN ATTITUDE OF QUIET- NESS—SENATOR CLAYTON ADVISES THE AC- | CEPTANCE OF THE SITUATION. LitTLe Rock, March 5, 1875. The city and State have quieted aown, and the stirring events of the past weex have left little trace except that the result is still the sub- ject of universal comment. Governor Garland is hourly im receipt of congratulatory despatches and letters irom all parts of the country. The verdict 18 universally acquiesced in by republicans as well as democrats, and the contest which has been so projonged and bitter isatamend. Tne friends of Governor Brooks deserve credit for their action in quietly accepting the situa- tion, Senator Clayton to-day sent the | following despatch to the Little Rock Republican:—“The action of Congress upon Arkansas affairs Is conclusive. The validity of the | new constitution and the government established thereunder ought not any longer to be aues- tioned, It is the duty of republicans to accept the verdict and render the same acquiescence which | they would have demanded had the case been re- versed,” This despatch is in harmony with the policy hitherto recommended by the Kepublican, The Legisiature adjoarned at twelve o’ciock M. to-day until the first Monday in November, THE CENTENNIAL. The bill making an appropriation for the Cen- tennial was postponed until the adjourned session, A CONFLICT WITH THE GOVERNOR. It 1s reported that a conflict has arisen between Governor Garland and the officers of several land grant raliroads in the State, growing out of the Governor's reiusal to sign a bill exempting their lands from taxation, ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE, | The Legisiature adjourned at noon to-day, until the 1st of November, when they will meet for the purpose of arranging the outstanding indebted- ness of the State. The House unanimeusiy adopted & resolution presented by Mr. Maxwell, a colored republican, declaring that peace and | quietude now prevail, and extending a welcome vo all immigrants, promising safety in person and property, and iJreedom ef speech.

A dispute now arose in regard to the count, end, after spending nearly an hour in a most disgrace- fal row, tt was decided to recount the ballots. At one o’clock this morning the result of the election nad not been made known, AMUSEMENTS. BISTORI IN ‘‘MEDEA.” The sudtence which gathered at the Lyceum ‘Theatre last night had a perfect assurance before- hand that it was well worth while to face a biind- ing snow storm when Ristori in “Medea” was to reward the risk. It a warm, full and appreciative audience, which is much to say in these cold times, It had come to near the most horrible story that mythology bas left us, told in the tones and ges- tures of an actress supreme in her art, Medea! There is no other heathen name sround whitch ciusters so much of passion, crime and sgony. The very love of which she talks and over which she smiles ts flerce tigress love, that bites as well @s purrs, The doves of her Venus must have been hatched from serpents’ egg, so horrible does the ennobling passion hover over the brink of Jealousy, so weirdly does it tremble into remorse, @nd so flercely does it leap into consuming hate, Medea is a pang left by the old perished pagan past to affright the present. To the story as it comes to us delong so many horrors, that we may Well thank the dramatist who gives us but one episode in her blasting and blighted career, Legouvé has taken a pardonable liberty with the old story when he brings Medea to the fates of Corinth, @ wanderer, leading her two oye, at the time when the laise-hearted Jason is aout to wed Creusa, the biue-eyed daughter of King Creon, We need not follow the argu- ment of the play iurtner than to say that it sketches the passions of the mother and the wife in an admirable ascending scale, commencing with a wifely joy at the knowledge that her Jason still lives, and ending In the awiul majesty of the Nemesis that slays her omspring to avenge a broken troth. In all the fine gradations that lie between these two extremes Ristort burns and palpitates an embodied passion. ‘The playwright has tuvented skilful situations. ‘The soit Itallan tongue in which Ristort renders them 18 not equal to their sombre intensity, though the great woman tn the biood-red gar- ments Intones the lines in @ Cadence whicn car- Ties the listener along, a8 aman awake at night may be magically won trom bis sleep in listening 10 the sweep of the sobbing winds apon his window pane. The play has one great merit, ana that 1s it gives the audience plenty of Ristori and hides away the three or four male ana female inanities who move im dwarfed intellectualities around her. Lf there 1s not one ray of light or reliefin the drama, the dark shadows are constantly changing shape and intensity, in the first act the dam’s_sor- row over her starving young gives place to hope that all may yet be well. Contrasting finely with the simple, steadiast love of the young girl about, she dreams, to be a oride, the awful gloomy love of the Medea rises and ex- pands, like the genius inthe Arabian tale that rose 10 a dark whirieof clond from the jar which the ignorant fisher found by the sea. Then comes Joy at the sight of Orpheus, her nusband’s friend. She learns that Jason lives, and cries to her children in a delir1um of joy, ‘Il padre vostro vive.” She guesses, learns, leaps instinctively to the fact that tne trembling girl beiore her is her rival—that her new found heart-raiment of gladness is but the old sackcloth and the thorny crown with a false ray upon it. Her threat, “Ei! sposo tuo!—Vedremo,” with which the rst act closes, was & Marvel of vindictive force and sibyliine cunning. She has told the whole story of tha play in that “We shall see,” and curiosity may be blunted, Dut the red-robed magician of Colchis has you hencetorth beneath her sway and you can- not but follow ner eye and heart, although as much in loathing agin pity. The second act advances the passion story weil. All the pent up bitterness, the demoniac wrong. the snakish movements, the proud repulsion with which sne turns upon the Jason for whom she gared all to be cast of at last, are tnrilling ana lead up to the chance interview with Creusa, wherein, with furtive dagger bared, and clutched with nervous grip she smiles to the face sbe is longing to whiten with aeath. Sn asks ner rival ior the love of Jason. Creu: pauses, There is a gitttering upiiiting of the dag- ger, a fercer glitter of the dilating eye, tne girl turns to Medea and an instant change Sweeps over the face, 1t becomes the agony of pity. “Deh per pieta di te responde,” In the last scene of all, the murder of the children and the murder of her rival, horror is bi a horror’s head; but the art of Ristort wins @ trace of sympathy through it all, and when the curtain falls upon the exultant avenger, who, with reek- ing biade, stands above the murdered bapes and shrieks ber accusing cry of “Thou,” in answer to Jason’§ clamoring demand, “Who has killed them?” there is such @ majesty about her that the Furies and the Fates that held the breath of the pagan world seem for the instant to be before you. Remarkable effect! The audience remained spellbound and mute till the curtain had fallen full ten second: when there arose a storm of applause that cou! not find vent till the effect of the terrible presence was in manner removed. It was sublime. And yet all this 1s the after story of a voy- age ol discovery up the Euxiue. We wonder will they tell such stories apout Dr. Hayes or Com- mander Merriam when the mantle of fable has been thrown around the discovery of the North Pole. Poets and dramatists, perhaps, will be at asgreat a loss (0 Know what the Nortn Pole means as they have been to tell the significance of the gilded sheepskin of Colcnis. To-day there will be @ matinée of “Elizabeth, Queen of England.” PHILHARMONIC REHEARSAL, The Philharmonic Society had a public rehearsal for the fifth concert at the Academy of Music yes- terday afternoon. The attendance was small, and the following works were rehearsed :—Mozart’s First Symphony in D major, the tnird “Leonora’ overture of Beethoven, the ‘Scotch’ symphony of Mendelssonn and Wagner’s overture, “Der Fitegende Hollinder.”” The most exacting musi- cal hearer could scarcely call for @ bill more varied and containing more points of pubitc mterest. The quiet beauty of the first sympnony, the gran- deur ot the first overture, considered by many the best of the immortal quartet of overtures written for “Fideho;” the fresh, hearty, popular rng that characterizes the Mendelssohnian work, and the bold, massive style of tne overture of Wagner, form & musical group such as cannot fati to oring Intense enjoyment to the patrons of the Philharmonic Soctety. Dr, Leopoid Damrosch nas been selected as the soloist for the next concert, and to sucn an admirable master of the violin such @ responst- bility may safely be entrusted. ITALIAN OPERA—MUZIO'S FAREWELL BENEFIT. The Strakosch Italian opera company of the season of 1874-75 bade a final farewell to New York last night, appearing for the benefit of the chef Worchestre, Signor Muzio, in “Lohengrin” and other works. Regarding the performance of Wag- Rer’s opera there was but one feature of novelty, the first appearance in this city of Mile. Heilbron as Elsa, Clever as the lady may be in light roles in opera, that of Elsa is entirely beyond her reach, vocally and dramatically, In no instance did she succeed in embodying the idea oi the composer, and the celebrated briaal duet in the third act Was judiciously cut out, as it could not, under the circumstances, have been successfuily rendered, The rest of the Cast was precisely the same we have criticised before, Signor Muzio contributed an overture, “Sorrentino,” of the most unmi: takable ltatian order, and Fiorini, Tagliapetra na Scolara sang the veryelaughable terzeito irom ‘Crispino e la Comare."’ Then came two posthumous Works of Rossini, “Ave Maria” and ong of the Titans,” the former sung by Mile, Maresi, Miss Cary aud Messrs. Benfraveii and Fiorini and the latter oy a chorus of bass voices. ‘Ihe ‘Marseillaise” con- cluded the periormance, Which lasted aimost uo- Ul midnight. The inclement weather thinned the house considerably. Thus ends one Of the most disastrous seasons of opera ever known tn New York, and one that, be it remembered, followed tue most brillant and successial. BTADT THEATRE, “Orpheus in der Unserwett” (“Orphée aux En- fers") was produced last evening toa (air audience at the Stadt Theatre. The opera is one of the most farcical Offenbach has written, is very opular in Germany and was favorably received. iiss Lina Mayr as Eurydice sang aud acted with commendable spirit and expression and invested her rove with that exaverance of fun demanded by Offanbach's creations.
