In the louse of Commons this afternoon sir Charles Adderley, Presiaent of the Board of Trade, introduced a bill jurther to empower the Boara of ‘Trade to prevent unseaworthy vessels from sailing.

Here he was interrupted by cries of “No!? Cone tinuing bis remarks, he said the bill was also ob- Jectionabie, because, besides puntvhing offenders, it actually takes upon itself the conduct of the marine service.

THE CANAL FRAUDS. JUDGE LEARNED'S DECISION IN THE DENISON ATTACHMENT CASE—THE RELATOR TO BE DISCHARGED. ALBANY, July 28, 1875. Justice Learned has rendered his decision im the case of contempt of H, D. Denison, who refused to | produce his vooks and papers as a witness betore the Canal Frauds Investigation Commission. | After reviewing the question at some length, Justice Learned says the qaestion, then, to be | answered here 1s not simply whether tne Commis- sion has a right to interrogate and to call for books and papers, but whether they have the power to punish for disobedience, Such power must be found, if at all, in express enactment, because imprisonment for contempt ts a quast punishment for acrime, using that word in its | broad sense, and the question is whether the power to punish for this criminal act has been given to the Commission. They claim that power by virtue of chapter 91, Laws of 1875, The passage of such an act isan impiied admission that without it they would have had no such power and that their power is limited by its language. This act ts singularly defective if it was intended to give any | such power as is claimed. Itis the act creating the Commissioners, Judging from the title and from the language of the act, tts onject, so far as itis applicable to the subject under discussion, seems to be solely the procuring of the attend: | | ance of witnesses, It hothing as (o their | refusal to testify. It auskorizes either of tne Commissioners to issue subpmnas requiring the | attendance of Witnesses and the production of books od pers oefore the Commission. Now, | it cannot be said that the mere power to issue subpoenas implies a power to punish for their dis- obedience. in case of the failure of any witness , 80 Subpe@enaed to obey such subpena the Com- | missioners have power to issue an attachment to | the Sheriff of any county, requiring him to attach | the body of such witness and bring bim before the | Commission. Justice Learned holds that even if the witness failed to pring the books and papers with nim there would have been no occasion jor an attachment, The relator must be discharged. The decision Was Made known at so late an hour that the Commission took no action upon it to-day, but 1t seems to be taken for granted that the Commissioners will take the opinion of the | higher tribunal before surrendering a power with | Which the Legislature evidently intended to | clothethem, aud which is so important’ to the | most successful accomplishment of tueir object.

Smith, of Washington, and Clinton B, Fisk, They had chosen this place in which to hold the usual quarterly meeting tor two reasons: First, they desired to consult with the President regarding the recent charges of cormaption by Proiessor Mavsh and otners; second, they aimed to combine pleasure with their gratuitous ser- vices, as is shown vy the fact that several of tnem brought their families, They are all domiciled at the West End, waere they were all cougregated by noon. ‘'hey met socially eariy in the alveruoon, and later rode to THE EXROUTIVE COTTAGE, where they spent two hours wita the President, @ artof which time was used in eating a ainner, ‘hey returned to their hotel be.ore five o'clock and remained in private cunsultation until atter IX o'clock, They did not, however, tuke any ormal action upon anything, Several inatters | upon which they will act were delayed by tne ab- Beyce of Commissioner Stickney, of Washington, wid tad peen expected, It was atranged with the Presideit tiadt & coflercnce should be held at his cottage to-morrow, ana after that the actual businegs of the Commission Wiil be transacted in time for a final adjournment at nignt.

THE CAMPAIGNS IN O10 AND PENNSYLVANIA. bE Sin Bice Probable Nomination of Ex-Governor Bigler for Gubernatorial Honors, —_—--__— Governor Tilden and the Morris- sey Explanations, Sansreca, duty 06, 15. Since the meeting of the Ifoeral republicans here a few days since Saratoga bas béen fairly alive with political stars from various parts of the country, Jolin Cochrane started the bail by gathering together the leaders of the remnant of the sececing republicans of 1870, and discussing the prob&biliites of a speedy return to the repub- lean told, He was disgusted with the democracy, because, he says, the whole party 1s too corrupt to hold together; but a still deeper wound in Coch- crane’s soul was caused by tne refusal of the democrats to share the honors and emoluments after his services rendered to them while serving the cause of Horace Greeley and since. He claims that he should have been treated at least as well inthe Empire State as McClure was in Peonsyl- vania, although he aoes not pretend to the peculiar talent necessary to build up and manage successfully an independent newspaper. If McCiure was treated well in Pennsylvania then Uochrane has some cause to comp! McUlure wouid probably think tnat bis New York associate in the liberal movement fared best and hence the difficuity of finding rem- edies for diseares when the authorities aisagree, In any case Cochrane bas mado up his mind to look to the republican side rather than to their opp nents. He has been here actively engaged in laying the wires Jor the fall campaign, with a view olentering the ranks of the “other party.” He thinks the liberais are yet strong enouga to make whichever side they join win the contest and thus command terms commensurate with the agree- ment to be made beforehand, THE NEXT PENNSYLVANEA GOVERNORSHIP, As T before stated, the liberal meeting tad the effect of bringing a good many politictans of all grades here. Among others were Andrew G. Cur- lin, ex-Minister to Russia, and ex-Governor Big- ler, of the Centennial Commission of Pennsyl- vania. Soon after Mr. Curtin returned from Russia he was warmly entreated by certain seced- ing republicans to cast in his lot with the liberal republicans, and take the stump in his own State during the campaign of 1870 tn favor of Senator Buckalew for Governor and Horace Greeley for President. He was very sick at the time and at first expressed himself in an uncertain tone, not- withstanding he hud been corresponding exien- sively through his secretary for six months pre- viously. General Grant’s friends evidently desired to place him on the fence, and began circulating all sorts of strange storizs about him, his personal habits, &c, Atlengtu, however, he acceded to the desires of the leading liberals of lis State, and declared that in case of a res- toration to health he would take the stump in favor of the new party. He first imparted tns to A. K, McClure, who immediately made it known to your correspondent, thea in Philadel- phia, and the HERALD Was the first newspaper to give the declaration to the world. Tne docl: tion was received by many with great fuvor. It was thought a guarantee of success to the party, Already Fentov, Banks and others were paving the way for anactive campaign, and this was tne finishing blow at the administration ake | Un- fortunately ior those who noped to receive Nis ac- tive personal support he was unable todo more than issue a statement of bis views, which was given to the press at the time, his infirmity render- ing speaking on the stump impossible. Curtin ex- pected that the liberuls woula secure immense patronage, because, like many otvers, he was de- ceived by the apparent earnestness of the leaa. ers of the movement, and believed tue ramifiea- tions much more extensive than they afterward proved to be. He lent the aid of his name ana in, fluence, however, and in doing so of course in- curred the severe wrath of the great chief at Harrisburg, whose will is supposed to be as potent as the broad Susquetanna when winter gorges shatter and destroy. ‘Uurtin has nopucty, no influence,” said Cameron at the time, “and we Shall beat them any way.” just at that time to secure another term in tre United States: Sevate, and his asser- tions wore doubtless well backed by the sinews of war and by the efforts of suct henchmen as the Jate postmaster and editor at Harrisburg. But they have all lived to discover that Curtin has a party, or at least that tue party he has assisted for three or four years was sirong enough to drive out the placemen 0: Cameron and secure a democrat associate for him tn Congress, WILL BIGLER BE NOMINATED? ‘This little history was necessary to lead up to the present interesting condition of adairs in the Empire State. For many years Mr. Bigler has held a high position before the people of Pennsyi- vania, and, Indeed, has been honored too much and trusted too oiten to cail for any comment as to his high respectability. His stay in this Spa has not been purely to drink the waters. Ile has been in consultation with many of the politicians in reference to the next campaign in lis State. Of course, his activity in the service of the Cenien- | nial has done a good deal to strengthem him. Asa financial agent he has had necessarily to rake up a good many old friends tn the course of his canvass for fends and has made namerous new oues, It will, therefore, probably not be a surprise to meny that he ts talked of here as the next democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsyivanta against the soldier who at present holds tne of- fice, and who, it is geueraliy conceded, to be renominated. It seoms that the “slate” has been made up; that Bigier is to be put forward for Governor and ‘lib, rep.’ for State Treasurer. And what 1s still more significant, I understand that Mr. Curtin gives this “slate” his unqualified Cameron was anxious | | | | | | | | ERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1875--TRIPLE SHEET Henericks, simply because that gentieman aid ‘ot put in an appearance. But he expressed him- self strongly in favor of an active campaign Im Unio, on the ground that Obio pow occupies the position in national politics that Pennsylvanta so long enjoyed, ana the greater importance 1s at- tached to the fignt, He appeared to regret the insertion of the money piank in their platform, yet believed {t possinle to carry the State beyonda doupt, (Tnere are several democrats here who 4 abt this, however.) His chief object In coming here was evidentiy to smooth over the Tammany row. The Governor, like Jonn Keliy aud Mayor Wickham, was both surprised and annoyed at John Morrissey’s statement, which the Hexatp published last Saturday. He has been friendly in his deaeanor toward Morrissey and intimate to pelitical matters—a fact clearly shown by nis confidence in teiling Morrissey of the Muyor’s method of getting rid of the unpopular and incom- petent Comptroller, So ne sent for Mr. Morrissey On Sunday, and the two had a long talk, partly ia the presence ol a third person. WHat If MEANS, The conference is sald to have been of a warm nature, Tilden deprecated these troubles as a source of incessant weakness to the party, and for the reason that the republicans were making Capital out of them every day. dobn, of Saratoga, however, did not mince matters tn relerence to qonn of Tammany Hall. Said agentieman this moroing whois in the confidence of both the Goveraor and Morrissey; “Morrissey bas the best of the ight in this respect, he does not Want any Oficial position for himself, nor would he take the best they could offer him, He gave Jonn Kelly all he has to-day, and he can hold his own without Tammany, while Tammany is sorety in need of open hands and full pockets. He has helped many men in position and power in the city of New York without getting any part- icular thanks. For instance Hoffman, Sweeny and Church could tell how they frst floated on the greenbacks of ‘Honorable’ John Morrissey, But Morrissey is independent. He doesn’t want either their money or their notoriety.’? “But,” said I, “what did the Governor say about it? “Well,” replied my informant, ‘the Governor was ciearly cornered. Morrissey he knew was shut out as eifectually from Taminany Hall as you would be. In case Morrissey should present him- self at the next meeting of the General Committes of Tammany Hail the thirteen sachems who have conirol of tue building will not admit him, unless some arrangement is made to give him a hearing; he will get no ticket toaitend, you may be sure, If they do admit him ho will listen to their charges in person, aud then he will take tnat statement of his that you published and dare Kelly to deny one syilebie of it, As he told Mr. mont, Mr. Schell nd many others, Morrissey ls prepared to stand by What he has said.” “Did the Governor deny auything contained ia that statement ?? Iasked, “He could no more deny that part referring to him than you can deny your identity, He knows 1's true, Keily knows it’s true, Wickham knows it’s true—neither can deny the statements. If they were to, Morrissey would obtain the aMdavit of a respected New York judge to whom it was tola and add his own to it. If they could nave denied they would have done so long since, “Bat Jonn Kelly has made this a personal matter. Morrissey has neither questioned Keily’s authority nor sought torival him in command, He has Spoken out at Kelly’s blunders, ana every man in the General Committee ought to have at least tnat privilege, or the iollowers of Tammany will be the most abject political slaves in the country. Jona Kelly dare not call the General Committee together to discuss this matter. Let me tell you thac Morrissey will give Kelly a going over when he meets him ina com- ing convention where both will be delegates, and Joun of the Spa and Jonn of the Temahawk will have thirty witnesses to the interesting debate. Of this you may be sure, Tilden and Wickham and Kelly ‘are each playing special polats on this syuabole. Morrissey is simply @ preconcerted object of attack.” EX-GOVERNOR HOPFMAN is here “doing” the Springs and talking politics. I met him last evening on a country road leaaing to the town taking alively walk by limself. He looks stout and healthy. I understand he hasa good many sympatnizers here, who see the pecatiar po- sition be holds in our State politics. Since he re- turned irom his European trip he has not done much business and 18 living on his means in a quiet and unassuming manner, Fromwhat I hear he takes @ lively interest in our poittical condi- tion, but will not take any active part in the com- ing campaign. EX-JUDGE BEDFORD is here also, watching the horizon. I saw him to- day ou the street, and he seemed as “bright as a new dollar.” Senator Anthony, of Rtode Isiand, Mr. Samuel Bowles, of the Springfleld Aepudlican, and many others are Dow sitting before my window tn close conversation. Indeed, itis seldom one sees so many polit us together where there is no oficial caucusiug as there are herenow. it seems pretty certain, however, that, apart from the matters connected with Pennsylvania and Olio, | and that | bai little “mapping” has been done, many of toe leaders will return home somewhat disappointed at the non-appearance of the Weat- era aha Southern Governors who were expected to come and ‘arrange things,” MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS.

You will see tue effect of the bloody shirt in the South, the rag money baby in the West and the tari question in the Kast.

See now be turus and gives Lis support to the democrats; but Ishould not be surprised to find him rail blown in the republican ranks within a year.” There are Many here who think, however, that Curtin is quietly laying the wires for a successful democratic campaign, and that Harctranfi, by his third tezm iuspirations, has left him this eppors tunity by creating trouble and division in the rank and file at Philadelphia and Harrisburg.

SHIPS AND OIL DOCKS IN FLAMES—ICXPLOSION® AND GRAND FLAME SCENERY. At about halfpast one o’cluck thie * Morning Jersey City and the lower part of this city were shocked by an ex Plosion, dull but reverberatory, which proceeded from a dock on the Jersey side of tue river. Immediately a great inminous cloud uprose over that quarter, composed ob smoke, with which the lambent fame was struggling to assert itself, The flames very soon overcame the smoke and, leaping on high, outlinea against the thick darkness of Jersey City, which the smoke, as i rolled backward, made more dense a vessel upom , whose spars tne destructive flames leaped exultingly, and poured in masses of rubesce! light out of the body of the yessel. ‘Very soon tl Smoke was rolled still further back. and there was revealed more fire behind the vess and seemingly on @ dock, |The lig now became flashing, as if slight explosiona wel occurring to startle tl, and the sky, at. the: times, was ligited up as it is by fash of summer lightning. From the New York shore the scene was grand in the extreme, as the vessel, or rather vessels, lor more than one was afire—looked like the pyrotechnic exnittion of a mimic ship on a grander scale than auy pyroe technist has ever yet aitempted, it was impossible for a long time te learn where the fire was, exactly, or what had caused if, a8 no access could bo had to Jersey City, because of the long intervals between the passages of the Jerryboata, Mtoaily, the writer discovered that the fire was at the docks of the Pennsyivania Railroad Company at ti foot of Morgan street, Jersey City. At that place is @ storage place for Oil meant jor .ship- ment, aud here the cars laden wit peirdleum are run to bé emptied of their con tents, ‘The flames originated in an oil car which nad just been run upon the dock, and spread with great speed to tae vessels beyond tt and to adjacent cars and stored oil, Toe inflammable hquid ran along tne nock and upon the surface of the water where {t burned sputteringly but destructively te every bit of . wood it | struck. How the fire began is unknown. The first intimation which was had of tha disaster was given by the awinl <r of the oil in the car, which shocke the people of both cities. 1t could not be learned whether anybody was hurt by tae explosion, but it 1s likely that there was somebouy injured, the force of the explosion was 80 great. Neither could any estimate of the propaole losses be made last night, as the hour when thé disagter announced itself wus late, DARING DAYLIGHT BURGLARY. THE THIEVES LEAP INTO THE RIVER TO ESCAPE, BUT ARE CAPTURED BY THE POLICE Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, Mra James Keynolds, of No. 347 Fourth street, Williama- burg, had occasion to go up stairs in her residence. She was horrified to find that the front door had been forced open, She at once gave an alarm by shrieking for assistance. Two men then came rushing down stairs, one of whom threatened te shoot her if she dtd not “shut up.’ Both ran into the street, The moment the men made their ap- pearance some few citizens took up the cry of “stop Unlel”? and gave them chase, Officers Dun- Ningan and Cleary jointngin the pursuit. While fleeing the thieves drew revolvers and with thems kept back those citizens who would have seized them. ‘The fellows finding the whole section aroused against them directed their course toward the foot of North Ninth street fand beidiy jumped into the river, hoping thus to elude their pursuera. The appearance of a boat, with two or three men in it, however, induced them to alter their course, and they swam to one of the many private water “ fronts, landed, and, alter runomg @ short dis tance, concealed themselves im the cellar of a house on North Eighth street, where they were found by the officers, When taken *o the station house they gave tueir names as John MeNaily, aged twenty-four years, of No, 200 Cherry street, and Joan McCarthy, aged twenty years, of No. 108 Madison street, in this city. A large Davy revol- ver was found on McCarihy. They haa forced their way into the residence of Mrs. Reynolds, aud before the alarm was laised by her had ransacked the front room on the second floor, turniog bureaus and trunks insi out, but other than laying aside What tuey in- tended to take with them they accomplsned nothing.
