THE WHISKEY RING. HESING SEEKING A COMPROMISE WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND OFFERING HIS TESTIMONY. Cmcaco, Jan. 17, 1876. In the absence of actual news all sorts of sensational rumors fill the air, So there is a ramor to-day that the revelations of Milwaukee distillers, who have “peached,’’ will implicate the Hon. Matt, Carpenter as having received money from them for political pur- poses, and that evidence will be laid before the Mil- waukeo Grand Jury with a view to his indictment, The Chicago Grand Jury heard no witnesses in regard to the whiskey business to-day, being engaged with rou- tine cases, and neither of the three distillers who failed to plead guilty was brought up for trial. The most in- teresting development just now ts that Hesing, as a secret service officer told me this evening, has made some slight though unmistakably serious overtures to the government to tell ali he knows, on condition of being assured of immunity. It 1s said that the govern- ment bas the offer still under advisement, as it is con- Sidered that, through his exposure of all the mysteries of the “Ring,"? two prot ent Congressmen and a United States Senator could be reach ‘At present, however, it does not look as though any compromise is likely to be entered into between the government and Hesing, as the officials are unwilling to sacrmfice what they regard as the Birr: of Hesin, conviction to the mere chance of the inculpation of occupying positions even bizher than his. THE PENSION FRAUDS. DELAY IN INVESTIGATING—HARDSHIPS OF DE- SERVING PENSIONERS IN PHILADELPHIA, Paraperraia, Jan. 17, 1876. In the matter of the irregularities in the pension agencies in this city, the history of which was given at length in these columns, affairs still remain in the same condition, Some 2,500 names of pensioners have been stricken off the books of the two United States agencies here for the improper practices of claim agents, about 1,500 being soldiers’ widows and the remainder invalid and naval pensioners, In the office of General Sickel, who has control of the payment of invalid and naval chat about 400 names have been replaced, inquiries at the Pension Office in Washington showing the claim- ants 0 be regular and proper.

The Attitude of the United States Approved. Leading Democrats on the Exist- ing Complications. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasnusorom, Jan, 17, 18% THE WASHINGTON NOTE OF NOVEMBER LAST TO THE EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS, AND THEIR RESPONSE—FEELING OF THE LEADING DEMO CRATS IN THE HOUSE ON OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN. It is understood that Seerctary Fish this morning | communicated to the Senate Foroign Retations Com. | mittee the note sent to the European Powers last Now | vember concerning Cuban affairs, In this note, it is | believed, the long duration and slow progress of the strife in Cuba were recited, the uselessness of the blood- shed and devastation was pointed out and the apparent and, indeed, evident incapacity of Spain to quiet Cuba by such means as she had used and was using, was asserted. The delicate and dificult position of the United States, with so prolonged and furious a struggle raging on her borders, was made manifest. The strong. est assurances were given that this government does not desire to annex the island, and that the President would regard such an event as not merely undesirable, batacalamity, and that he wished to take no steps looking toward such a conclusion or interfering with Spain’s possossion of the island; but that a war raging on our borders could not but disturb us and put us to imeonvenience, as the struggle in Cuba was also, though in a less measure, dis- turbing and inconveniencing the principal European Powers, It was suggested that if these felt inclined they would do wisely to represent to Spain their own opinion of the situation, and the necessity, in their judgment, of taking practical and positive measures for the pacification of Cuba, A general expression of such belief by the principal European governments would, 1t was believed, have a good effect in Madrid in induc- ing the Spanish government to adopt a better and pacific policy in the island. Our Ministers were instructed to read tnis note to the Foreign Ministers of Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia and Austria. The responses of these govern- ments have now been received. In reply it is said that they acknowledge the entire justice of the repre. sentations made by this sovernment; that they be- lieve the United States to have acted with very great patience and entire good faith toward Spain in a very dificult position, and that the assurance that this gov- ernment bas no selfish ends in view is entirely satis- factory aud has been shown by its course toward Spatn. Austria, having difficulties of hor own, for that and other reasons declines to take any part in any representations which may be made to Spain. All the others, it is understood, proposed to instreet their representatives in Madrid at once to urge upon the Spanish government the necessity of quickly ending the war. All are understood to have | declined any interference except such diplomatic representations, and in the note from this government they were expressly told that only such representa tions were suggested or desired by the United States. It 1s understood that Great Britain acted most promptly, her Minister, Mr. Layard, having | been at once instructed to communicate to the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs tho regret of Great Britain that the Cuban struggle seemed to ap- proach no conclusion and the opinion that it was nec- essary to bring it to a close very soon. The other European governments, except Austria, are understood to have made'similar representations, and in some cases, it is believed, they have been accompanied with expressions of a desire for the settlement of their own unsettled claims against Spain and with a request fora better condition of police and custom house manage- ment on the Spanish coast, It is to these representations and appeals that the Spanish government has now, it is supposed, replied in @ note the tenor of which 1s given in the Heranp of Sunday. Expressions of opinion are various here about this reply of Spain. There is clearly no dis- position among the party leaders on either side to favor a war with Spain, The democrats see in such an event only a great political advantage to their oppo- nents. The republican leaders fear that in the hurly- burly of war the third term may carry the day. It is said, however, that the Spanish reply is transparently weak in several points, When, for instance, Spain complains that our shores are the ref- uge of Cuban outlaws itis replied that this is one serious reason why we want the war closed. It puts us to trouble and expense to maintain our proper course toward Spain. Again, if this country has no commerce, the reply is that it will be subject to the less injury byawar. Again, it is asserted that our com- merce with Cuba has suffered largely, as official statis- | tics show. | It ts also said by persons who have learned the tenor of the replies by European governments to the note of this government that Spain finds herself iso- lated and without countenance in Europe, and that this important fact, brought out by Secretary Fish’s note, must have its effect upon her and cause ber to adopta policy in Cuba which will bring the war to a close. The democrats, who have waited for a message from the President, to-day in the House passed a resolution asking for the correspondence with Spain. They say that they have watted iong enough; that the President bas gone as far as the House ts willing to let him, and that it moans now to ro- quire him to tell thom and the country the exact con- | dition of our relations with Spain. Mr. Randall says the President may be drifting the country into war without sufficient reason, and that, while the House is patriotic enougn to support a war which is for the in- terest or honor of the country, it does not want to be entrapped into hostilities and find itself suddenly called upon to defray the cost of a war after hostilities have began, The House wants to and means to be informed of what is going on. Speaker Kerr says he knows of no sentiment in the House which would countenance a war with Spain except upon the | most manifest necessity, or that wouid allow such war on any pretext except for causes fully known and un- | derstood betorehand by the House and the country, He believes that the sentiment of the House is nearly unanimous to the effect that our supteme policy must | be peace with all nations and that, above all things, the country now desires no more strife. Mr, Morrison, Chairman of the Ways and Means, con- cnrs fully in these sentiments and opinions, and this is — the opinion of all the leading democrats, A curious fact comes out bere to-day, in conversation | reserve, | days th | money, the Comptrolicr may, with the concurrence of on this subject—namely, that in 1824, only a year after the announcemont of what is known as the Monroe | doctrine, the United States asked the mediation of | Russia with Spain to procure a cessation of the war | which Spain was then making against her South | American colonies. . This precedent has, it is believed, been strictly followed by Secretary Fish in his note of November, FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, ————————— Wasatxoton, Jan. 17, 1876. AWKWARD ATTEMPT AND FAILURE OF THE RE- | PUBLICANS TO GET THR AMNESTY QUESTION | AGAIN BEFORE THE HOUSE. In accordance with the programme sketched in this column last night, the amnesty question was reathed to- day through a motion to suspend the rules, offered by Mr. John D. White, of Kentucky, one of the Southern repub- licans who are anxious to curry favor at home by vot- | ing for the political pardon of Jeff Davis, The name ot | Mr. White is already far on the road to eternal fame as one of the galdant band of eighteen who voted for tho third term, Unfortanately tor Mr. Blaine’s side of the House, and for the effort at compromise attempted by “Sa aenthorn ranublicans, Mr, White's endeavor sadiv Mmisearried, and the strategy which was to settle thus qeestion in a manner redounding to the further glory of the minority led by the gentleman from Maine ended Matly, if not ridiculously. Im the first place Mr. White, who is quite fresh to parliamentary practices, bungled the motion to suspend the rules $0 as to pro- voke laughter at his awkward anxiety to get the am- Beaty question before the House; and when, by the help of the Speaker, he was straightened out and ren- dered intelligible be foundered into a fresh muddle by snnouncivg his intention of introducing the bill with Jef Davie excluded, togethor with an amendment strikimg out the sentence so excluding Jef Davis, is extraordinary combination of bill and amendment Of Weel was objected to as something out of the usual course, but the Speaker was charitable enough to Mr Whe to rule that 4 suspension of the rules was intended to allow the House freedom of action, and that, therefore, the double proposition— strange and contradictory in essence as it might bo— was im order. Mr. White's object was of course to have the democrats exert their power asa majority and pass the amendment striking out Jeff Davis’ Bame, whereupon the bill, in substantially the shape it was im lewt Friday, would be passed. But the demo- erate refused to be so complacent as to comply with Mr. White's wishes, and the motion to suspend the rules was lost by a voto of 165 to 110, not gotting the necessary two thirds, The whole movement was a sorry fizale and has proved a set back for the republicans, In the mean- time, on the call of States, General Banks got in his Ampesty bill atresh aud had {t referred to the Judiciary Committee, from which, whea reported, it will get be- fore the House as a democratic measure, and conclu- sions Will be tried once more, with the promise this time of its passage, through the transfer to the democrats of the Southern republican vote. ‘The democrats say to-night that they will not allow the question to come up again for a couple of months. The republicans having made a failure to-day in trying to revive the matter, the democrats claim their side is not responsible for the death of the bill, TEST VOTE IN THE HOUSE ON THE REPEAL OF THR RESUMPTION ACT, Another resolution to test the disposition of the House on the subject of repealing the Resumption act was presented to-day, but it was rejected by the de- cisive vote of 158 yeas to 112 nays.

The friends of Mr. Davis who made the charges against Mr. Boutwell’s Treasury bookkeeping, point Significantly to his statement in the Senate to-day that the department would respond to the allegations, They say that he throws the burden on other shoulders, while Mr, Daviy has nothing to assist him but the various reports of the Treasury Department, This sub- joot will be the feature of the proceedings to-morrow, On the day following Mr. Morton's Mississippi clec- tion frauds will be discussed and the propriety of ap- pointing a committee of investigation conside ‘The Senate committees did nothing to-day. There is little business to do at present, and there will not be until the House settles some of the questions that are pending before it, ‘TOM SCOTT BEVORE THE RAILROAD COMMITTEE. Thomag A.

THE MILL STRIKERS. THE LANSDALE OPERATIVES STRONG IN THEIR SENSE OF RIGHT—NO OVER-PRODUCTION— FACTS SHOWING THE ‘‘CUT-DOWN” TO BE EN- ,TIBBLY UNJUST. Loxsoaue, Rf, Jun 17, 1876. As predicted in the columas of the Huratp, the Operatives at this place refused to go to work to-day, and at an carly hour they could be seen in and about the depot, in small companies, discussing the situation, The rain did not seem to dampen their ardor, In conversation with many of the strikers to-day the fact was gleaned that but for the interference of the Providence police they would probably have gone to work ere this, and the trouble might have been at anend. Lonsdale and New Viliage are owned by is owned by them as well, and consequently they, and not the city of Providence, will be called upon to pay the policemen for their duty while here. Just who is to blame for this interference remains to be seen. Mr. 6 —— THE STATE CAPITAL BEASSEMBLING OF THE LEGISLATORE—CAVANAOHT GIVES PARTICULARS OF HIS CLAIM FOR JACOBY’ SEAT—BILLS FOR FIFTH AVENUE PAVEMENT AND THE PAYMENT OF THE RENT OF aB- MORIES—AN IMPORTANT MARRIED WOMAN'S BILL. Avoany, Jan, 17, 1876. Both houses reassembled. this evening at bal past seven o’¢lock. The Senate was in session about Meena minutes, The attendance of members in the House was pretty large, aud a disposition was shown to buckle down to work. In Committee of the Whole the bil! releasing the ap Propriation for the pew Capitol and setting the stone- cutters to work was ordered to @ third reading. The debate of the evening was on Bergh’s bill to prohibit the throwing of nails or broken giass im the roadways pply to the whole State, an amendment that the country members indignantly repudiated. The sec- Pratt, the Assistant Superintendent, states that no threats were made by the strikers, and that they conducted themselves in @ becoming manner. This is also the opinion of others ontside of the villages, The strikers severely censare the Providence Journal, which they state {s the organ of Brown & Ives, and think it has not represented them fairly in this unfortunate business. Upon inves- tigation we find that the Jowrnal has acted honorably in the matter, and has in no way given the strikers the semblance of a chance to think that it waa in the interest of the mill owners, The organ of the labor party pitches into the Journal for its action in the matter; whereupon the Journal retaliates by stating that the labor paper copied the Journal reports of the Strike almost verbatim, without giving credit | THE STRIKERS AND THE PUBLIC. There {s no question but that the strikers have gained the sympathy of the public by the interference of the police and the announcement for the first time in the Heraxp of the prices paid them by the mill own- ers, The wages of the operatives in Berkeley have not been cut down, As the mills are also owned by Brown & Ives the Hxrarp correspondent inquired as to tho cause, It appears that the mills have recently commenced to manufacture at thag place sateens, a beautiful and new production, samples only of which being in the market, aud they being of as nice a quality as could be manufactured in England, have creatod considerabie excitement in the cotton market, These goods are tho sole production of the Berkeley Mills, and their manufacture has never before been attempted this side of the Atlantic; consequently it is necessary to employ only skilled workmen, and the company were shrewd enough not to attempt a re- duction at that place; but they state, and their state- ment is substantiated, that they are obliged to employ skilled workmen here as well for the reason that the goods of the mills at Berkeley, Manton, Ashton, Black. stone, Hope and Phnnix are brought hore to be finished. An idea of the quality of sateens made by Brown & Ives may be had from the fact that 300 “picks” are used to the inch in its manufacture, No outsiders are admitted, for fear they will get an idea of the macbin- ery, which was imported specially from England for them. Recent orders from Chicago and St. Louls have been the means of exbausting all the goods on band, and, as 14 before, even that on the looms, So it will ve seen that there is NO OVER-PRODUCTION here to warrant a cut down, ag was the case tn Fall River. General Superintendent Kilburn, when called upon, stated that he supposed all the papers in th country would censure them for their action in this matter, in view of the fabulous wealth at thér com- mand. ' In fact he expected nothing better, and ap- peared to be fully prepared for public condemnation. No print goode are made here, those manufactured being heavy fine sheeting, shirtings, jaconcts and si- jesias, and their superiority ounts for the fact that the company bave no ock on hand to be depreciating in value. It ts the general opinion, in view of this fact, that the submitting of | the hands would be welcome news to the mill owners, As proof of this it may be stated that the mill gates are kept open, and every room in the mill is lighted up night aud morning in the hope that they will see the error of their ways and return to their looms. Three Providence weavers were engaged this morning, but as svon as they found out what the | trouble Was they leit. Employés of the picker and carding rooms are paid by the month, and with the cut down will receive $2240 per month. Thomas Monroe, station master, informs me that about fiity | of the best weavers engaged a car this morning to | transport them and their familtes to Fail River, where they have secured work. Some are packing up und are going to North Carolina, where they intended to go in the spring, as here they could hardly earn money | enough*o keep soul and body together before the re- | duction, At half-past eleven o’ciock to-day Captain | Marston and nine additional policemen arrived trom | Providence, and they created considerable of | & sengation. The goods at the Berkeley mills are all sold up toJune next. On Saturday Messrs. Woodward, Lawrence & Co., of New York, notified the Lonsdale Company that they wanted a large quantity of goods and that if they could not fill the order they would be compelled to purchase tue goods elsewhere, The strikers do not believe the statement in the letter of the Goddard Brothers, that the latter had notified | parties who had been sending goods to their bleachery | to send the same elsewhere, from the fact that the same goods are constantly being brought here, and it | 18 claimed that the kind of bleaching done here could not be done elsewhere, The strikers think the state ment was made to scare them.

Ives, Jr. member of the firm of Brown & Ives, wages e been cut down | twenty-two and a half per cent, and after the death of | Mr. Brown, about a year ago, the rent of the best tone. | ments was raised from $4 40 to $7 per month, and that of others in proportion, The moving spirit in this ; famous house now is claimed to be Robert Ives Gain. | mell, grandson of Mr. Ives, and he is the person the cause of all the trouble, Thoy do not blame his father, William Gammell, who married the only daughter of Mr. Ives, nor Mrs. John Carter Brown, widow of the senior member of the House. The HekaLb correspondent in- vestigated several CASES OF DESTITUTION x here to-day. One man was found who hasa wife and five chilaren, and before the cut down he was receiv. | ing only eighty-seven ceuta per day. Another man had three children, aud having lost his wife, was obliged to board himself and children upon eighty-three | conts per day, , One girl, gan years of age, was | found, who after paying her board had only twelve cents left. Numerous other cases equally bad were | found. These are cases that exasperate the strikers | and serve w make them more determ:ned to resist the cut down. | This afternoon, notwithstanding the rain, upwards | of 600 of the strikers gathered at Barry’s Hail for the purpose of marching to Ashton, but it | was voted to have the parade to-morrow, — owing to the storm.
