To-night he is more serious and said to a visitor, ‘The more one relies upon Bewspaper reports the more he will be deceived.” The leading democratic Senators hope the State bas gone republican, to check, as they say, the reckless enthusiasm of the party.

In the case of Stark, from Oregon, in 1862, the credentials were in due form, he having been appointed by the Governor to fill a vacancy; but, when the creden- tials were presented, it was suggested by some Senator that Stark had used language hostile to the government, and the credentials were referred for investigation. He was finally admitted, though not until after the investigation had been maae, Mr. MERRIMON next referred to the cases of Messrs. Goldthwaite, from Alabama; Blodgett, | trom Georgia, and Ransom, from North Carolina, and said they were not seated on a prima. Jacie case, but their credentials were referred.

To Tne Eprror OF TH HERALD :— There 1s much Misapprehcusion inregard to the Bounty bill, Mr. McPherson, Clerk of the House, in a note, states that “the Conference Committee unanimonsty agreed to recommend to their r speclive houses that the House recede from its yote non-concurring in the amendments oi the Senate. This is the text of their entire recom- The House agreed to the report of the committee, and I accordingly informed the THE For | | Mr. Jacob Mobrstadt, President of the Tailors’ ie duties | He | | | Senate that the House had receded from its disa- agreement to the amendments. As (bis action passed the bill, it was enrolied and signed by the Speaker and taken by me to the Senate for the signature of its President.” | Mr. Barclay, Journal Clerk of the Mouse, in a note, says:—‘I have the honor to state that | did advise the Speaker, and yet believe, tuat the re- | ceding ol the House from its disagreement tothe | ameudmentis of the Senate and agreeing to the | same, placed the two houses in perfect accord | upon the subject, and that the bill was thereby | pussed,”? | It will therefore Le seen by these statements of Mr, McPherson and Mr. Barclay that the Speaker, sustained by Mr, Barclay’s opinton—very high authority on such points—regarded the bill as passed, and tt was not returned to the Senate, but enrolied and signed by him, : Mr. Logan submitted to the Senate a report | from the Conference Committee. Not betng in | possession of the bill, the point of order was | Taised that he had no right to make she report Without the bill from the House, and his report, which was not then in order, was laid upon tne table, but this action did not affect the bill, as tt was not then before the Senate. Mr. McDonald, Chief Clerk of the Senate, ina note, states that after the report was laid upon the table “a message wis received irom the House im the following words:—‘Resolved, That the House recede from its disagreement to the amendments of the Senate to the bill to equalize the bounties of soldiers who served in the jate war tor the Union.” Mr. McDonald further states thas shorly after fullowed “a message from the House, announcing that the Speaker nad signed, among other enrolled bills, the Bounty Dill, which, with others, received the signature of the Vice President and was put into the hands of the Committee on Enrolled Bills, whose duty it ‘Was to lay them before tn President.” 1t required no influence to induce the Vice Presi- dent to sign the bill, for it was his sworn duty to doso. He had no right to withhold his signature, as the billcame, according to the usages, vefore him. If any mistake had been made it nad been made in the House. That body had retained the bill, considered it paesed and notified the Senate that it had receded irom its non-concur- rence to the amenaments. Tne action of the Senate in laying Mr. Logan’s report on the table did not carry the Dill with it nor affect it in any way, for the hiil was notin the the Senate, as the point of orver raised on tne re- port clearly showed. Expecting, however, thata Poins of order would be raised, and to give ume for the arrival of Mr. Edmunds, who had been Rutified by a page that the Vice President was in- quiring for him, the Vice President laid aside this bill until be had signed and made secure two ap- Dropriation bills, He then signed the Bounty bill in the presence ot the Senate, without one word of objection from any one. In doing this he simply did what duty imperatively demanded. To have acted otherwise would have been an unwarrant- able and indefensible exercise of power. In giving his casting vote for the bill the Vice President acted in harmony with bis public record, In March, 1866, ne introduced a bill fixing tne bounty of soldiers at $8 33% per month, and in May of that year he made a report from tne Mill- tary Committee in support of the bill, and made every effort to secure its passage, Falling to get this bill, or the House bill, which had been taken substantially irom it, through the Senate, he pre- pared an amendment giving soldiers who had served three years, not what they claimed, $200, but $100. He presented that amendment to the Conference Committee, by whom it was accepted, after being modified, so as to give $50 to soldiers who had served two years: and it became a law in July, 1866, The time ior reception of the claims under the bill expired in January last, and, during the elght years and a half since its passage, about $60,000,000—a little more than half the estimate— have been paid out. Mr. Wilson has always held that veteran sol- iers, who enlisted for three years early in the war, bore its heat and burden, and were to receive @ bounty of $100—wnich was gold wnen promised and worthiess than half the amount when paid— should be put upon an equality with the soldiers who received toward the close of the war $8 33% Per month, Though not unminatal of the drain of this measure upon tie finances of the government, he did not believe that the credit of the nation would be impaired, as it would take seven or eight years to execute this final measure of equality, which would be an evidence of the grati- tude of the American people to the nation’s de- Jenders.

AMUSEMENTS. GEBMANIA THEATRE—GIROFLE-GIROFLA. Lecocq’s admirable opera, which has alrofaye become # formidable rival in popularity to “La File de Madame Angot,” and which contains music of @ much bigher order thanis generally found in opera douse, was brought out for the frst timeia German last night lor the benefit of Misa Lina Mayr, the most versatile and fascinating soubretie that the German stage in this country can boast ofat present. There are two important changes In the version of Lecocq’s work given at the Germania last night from what we have seen in French, and those changes, we believe, are in accordance with the original The rdle of Marasquin was given to a tenor (Mr. Schutz), and tnat of Mourzouk to a basso (Mr. Schoenwolf), Aliss Lina Mayr avpeared in the titie rdles, and in noue of the many opera boufe parts she has hitherto unaer- taken did she gain such a decided ana complete success. The now familiar numbers of the spark. ling work Were sung and laughed through with tuat abandon ana humor that 18 generally sup- posed to oe the exclusive quality of the French school, In the ciever Jinale ol the first act, an adutiabe buriesque on grand opera ensembles, Miss Mayr’s voice was very effective, ‘Ine crowded house and numerons floral offerings that greeted her seemed to have an inspiring influence on her vocal and dramatic edorts, ‘fue tenor, Mr. bcenttrz, gave a very laugbable aud thoroughly en- Joyabie interpretation of tne young bridegroom, Marasquin, and a ‘more ferocious looking representative of the bloodthirsty Moor than Mr. Schoenwolf it woukt be very dificult to Qnd. Don Bolero and Aurora, his shrewish wile, were capitaliy represented vy Mr. Witt and Miss Schmitz, and Miss Heynold acted and sang the rdvé ol Paguica to the lie, ‘The pirates’ chorus was heartily applauded, and many of the principal airs in the opera were encored. The work was very handsomely placed on the stage, as lar as scenery and costumes were concerned, and the chorus and orchestra, althougn pecessarily smail in numbers to suit the size of the atage, were com- posed of excellent material and did their share of the work very satisiactorily. ‘Geroné-Gerofa” promises to have a long run at this cosey lite theatre, and to enjoy as great @ popularity with the Germans as it has wet with at the hands of the haditucs of the Park Theatre, THE NEGRO MINSTRELS. Although there are so many entertaining plays at the various theatres to attract the thousands who, despite the rigors of Lent and the condition of the stréets, make it a point to go to some place ol amusement every night, the minstrel halls are by no means neglected, Indeed, there are a great many people who, during Lent, would hesitate a long while before going to @ theatre, hesitate not at all to go to witness the performances by the negro minstrels. To this class, therefore, negro minstrely, in Lent time, 1s @ blessed institu- tion, and, judging irom the way every one of the halis was crowded last nigot, those who believe that the tambuurine, the bones and the banjo are sacred when there is @ negro song or two and a “walk around’ as a finale must be quite numerous. Butitis pretty certain that the audiences last nicht that filled Bryant’s cosey little ie on Twenty-tuird street, the San Francisco's ‘ali On Broadway, near Twenty-eightn street, and Robinson Hal, in Sixteenth street, near Broad- way, Where the Georgia troupe of genuine negroes nave been performing since Monday evening last, were not all strict Lent observers. In point of fashion and intelligence they were, for aught that we could judge to the contrary, part and parcel of the audiences one meets with at the theatres every few nights. At the San Francisco hall there was, as usual, a goodly bill of fare, the chief featares of wuich were Kistori’s “Medea,” tne “!wo Orphans,” the “Black Nightingale” and “Othello and Mac- beth.” At Bryant’3: the Skidmores were out on full dress parade, and Dave Reed and Dan were as lively as ever in the revived and Teviviiying “shoo Fly.” The “Pes Kiephant” and orma’’ entertained the audience hugeiy, and ncle Eph’s Dreani”’ seemed as fresh and attrac: tive as ever to the old Aabituds of the house, who were present in !arge numbers, The Georgia Slave Troupe, at Rovinson Hail, had # very large audience, who seemed to ve quite enthusiastic over their periormance*. Thelr songs were given wita the genuine negro gusto, and although some o! the end men are some what extravagant in their gyrations the novelty of their sayings and the droll Way in which they say them are quite refreshing. “Brudder Bones’ Baby” was the most laughavle perlonmangs of the eventng, and “Lite and Love in Georyia,”’ a plantation sketon, fitly clesed the entertainment, MRS. CONWAY'S (BROOKLYN) THEATEE, The reappearance of Mr. Join McCullough on the boards ofa Brooklyn theatre proves that thers still exists in the hearts of the people of the City of Churches @ love for a higher order of drama than that with which they have been of late so surieited. Mr. McCullougn’s appearance in Brook- lyn has always been heartily greeted, and his im- personations of tne principal characters of the great dramatist have from time to time received the applause of crowded houses. Tne manage- ment of the Brooklyn Theatre has given the patrons of the house avtractions of most varied character, aud the been duly recorded.

Assistande Was obtained and the man was carried to the Nighth prectact station house, when it was found that he wes suffering from @ broken nose and a fractured = skull. He was covered with blood, Doctors were called in, who pronounced the case hopeless, and said the wounded man must die, Captain McDonnell, be- the injuries were not caused by any fall, as nothing in the place where the man was found indicated this, endeavored to find some solution to the mystery. In search. ing around he came across two giris, named Lottie Duffy and Liihe Reynolds, of Wooster street, who stated that had seen a row ta the liquor — saloon of Pullip Harland, corner of Wooster aud Prince streets, during which the barkeeper, Joon McHugh had struck the unknown man be- ca ne would not pay $140 for some drinks the barkeeper insisted he Lad taken, and that he was knocked sensoless on the foer, ‘they could not see whether he was struck with @ weapon or not, When the nan was tound to be insensible and bleeding on the floor the people in the saloon no doubt ot frightened, for, assisted by McHugh, they carried the stranger out by a siae duor lead- they | Ing into Wooster street, four or five doors away trom the saloon, Where they lett him, and where he was found.
