Loxpox, Jan, 28, 1876 ‘The Times correspondent, writing from San Sebas- ) tian, summarizes the results of the fighting on Tues- ara ACTION OF THE ARMIKS. ‘On the right and centre beyond Hernani the Alfons- its were successful. On the left, if they really seri- upusly intended to penetrate to Vera, they were com- pletely batiled. General Moriones returned to San Sebastian escorted by two battalions of troops, and ‘camped on the captured positions. THE BATTLE ON THE VERA ROAD. ‘The writer gives the following description of the fighting on the Vera road:—“Up to three o’clock in the afternoon the Alfonsists seemed to be successful, At the foot of the conical bill, on the slope of the great ‘three crowned mountain, where a Carlist battalion was ptrenched, the two parties exchanged fre foran hour, A BAYONET CHARGE FOILED. “At four o'clock the Alfonsists attempted to advance vwith the bagonet, but they recoiled before the steady fire from the trenches. Then I could see the Carlists Jeaving their positions and charging down the hill after abeir retreating foes. An intervening slope hid the combatants from sight, but from the nearer approach of the sound of musketry, and the incessant fire of the artillery from the Alfonsist forts, I judged the Carlists “were following up their success." COMING TO A GRAND ISSUR. ‘Tho writer concludes :—“‘It is generally believed here vthat asimultaneous movement is being made in the provinces of Navarre and Biscay. If 80, a very few «days will prove whether Carlism 1s ended or whether another campaign is to drag through*the coming ‘summer, ? CARLIST CANNON CAPTURED—LOMA MARCHING INTO BISCAY.

The Voce delia Veritd (newspaper), of Rome, noticing the report published inthe English papers of secret Negotiations between the extremists of the Anglican clergy and the Vatican, looking to the secession to Rome of the whole body of ritualists, strenuously de- nies the existence of any such negotiations.

ARGUMENTS IN THE REE TRIAL—TESTIMONY OF GOVERNMENT WITNESSES IMPUGNED. Sr. Louis, Mo., Jan, 28, 1876. Upon the resumption of the McKee trial in the United States Circuit Court this morning, Colonel William H. Hatch, of Hannibal, Mo., addressed the jury, present ing the first of the elosing arguments for the defence, He devoted himself to an analysis of the testimony for the government, claiming to show that McKee was the victim of conspiracy on the part of Engelke, Fitzroy, Thorpe and others to drag him down and throw in the shade the heinousness of their own crimes, Fitzroy’s statement that ho saw $480 paid to McKee was pronounced a base falsehood, and the unreasonableness of the circumstance and the conversation were pointed out from the fact of the characters of the men and their previous non-acquaint- ance. Engelke’s interview with McKee at the Glove office was admitted as a fact, but Evgelke’s version of the subject matter was declared wholly false on the testimony of Bohle, Maguire and Hardaway, whoso statements went to show that Engelke visited McKee to secure his influence with the Collector to release some liquors seized in Colorado, preventing an exposure of tho “ring.” Colonel Hatch also dwolt at great length on the confessions of the government’s princt- pal witnesses that they had been guilty of stealing, of perjury and of arson. District Attorney Dyer followed Colonel Hatch and made a general review of the testimony brought out on the trial, He said the government was obiiged to introduce confessed conspirators in order to unfold the gigantic swindle upon the revenue, and he claimed their testimony left no doubt of tho guilt of those against whom they testified. He showed tho relations of McKee and McDonald, and Joyce, already convicted, and how essential it was to have ‘him in. the “ring” that he might, through his great fnfluence, protect them from the powers at Washington. He claimed that Maguiré’s testimony clearly established McKee’s complicity with the ;” Wat Leavenworth’s dee- larations of having paid him money proved; that jes between Fitzroy Concannon evidonce were immaterial, as they had version of the no real interviow between McKee and Engelke had no strength, ing on the caso; that Bohle’ as it did not hang together; that whether Engelke sought his influence to obtain the release of his whiskey seized in Colorado or not, there was no doubt that hesaw McKee about getting the Busby distillery for Hardaway. ‘This is supported in all material po:nts by other wit- nesses, and there iso question bat that Hardaway was soon after making ‘‘crooked’’ whiskey at this dis- tillery without paying a cent to the “ring.” Counsel analyzed all the testimony, and insisted that the prosecution had clearly proved the existence of a conspiracy and McKeo’s suneaion: with it, THE FORCES OF THE PROSECUTION IN MILWAU- AGAIN UNITED.

A Bill to Outlaw Slaveholding American Citizens, TheCentennial Appropriation in the Senate. Another Whiskey Sensation Coming Up from the South. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasurnoror, Jan. 28, 1876. CONSERVATIVE ATTITUDE OF THE COLORED MEMBERS—A CONTEMPLATED BLOODY SHIRT CONVENTION OPPOSED BY THEM—HOW MOR- TON HAS BEEN HOAXED-—GOVERNOR AMES AS A FRIEND OF THE NEGRO. The colored members in the present House have shown sound judgment in several instances since the meeting of Congress. They were and are ready, for instance, to vote for universal amnesty, not excluding Jett Davis. They have on several occasions shown themselves conservative in tendency, and this after- noon it bas become known that they have anitedly op- posed, and by their resistance will probably defeat, a plan to hold another “bloody shirt’? convention like that of 1874 in Chattanooga at which ‘Poker’! Jack, then Chief Justice of Arkansas, presided, A number of Southern republican extremists, chiefly Mississip- plans, who have been stuffing Senator Morton with horrors, have been engaged in trying to get up such a convention to be held here, which was formally and in the name of the republican party of the Southern States to approve of Mr. Morton’s speech and of his views on the South, Rumor says it was also to nomi- nate him forthe Presidency. To make this scheme succeed it was, of course, necessary to secure the co- operation of the colored members, for it was in defence of the “poor downtrodden negro” that this appeal was to be made to tho country. Unfortunately, the colored Congressmen, like the peedy knifegrinder, have no “story,” and they are getting privately cursed as spiritless wretches Nor is this the only misfortune which has happened to the convention plan. It was apart of the plan to get some eminent, or, at least, thoroughly respectable, republican to preside, and so the managers made a weary round only to meet with universal refusal, even when they insisted that General Grant bad agreed hss attend, “If General Grant is sure to attend,” was the solr ofaSenator, ‘‘suppose you let him preside, He'll make a good figurehead.”” But the President did not even promise to attend, ‘The best authorities relate that two or three of the managers visited the White House, and their spokes- man, baving explained to General Grant the object of the eonvention, solicited a promise that he would attend, on the ground that it was intended to secure the presence of all the republican Presidential candi- dates, The President prudently replied, 60 it is said, that be would have to think about it. Meantime there is a counter movement here of South. ern republicans who desire to reform their party and make it honest’ Governor Chamberiain’s letter bas encouraged theso men in several of the Southern States, and they are im correspondence for the pur- pose of a combined movement. To give it cohesion those hero propose to make Senator Alcorn, of Missis- sippt, thelr standard bearer, and to present him, if they can agree, as their candidate for the Vice Presidency at Cincinnati, They say that Mr. Alcorn made in Missis- sippi the same struggle some years ago in which Gov- ernor Chamberlain js now engaged in South Carolina; ims whieb have been so frequently brought hag the President in his messages that Spain must mado to do justice to the American owners of Cuu-- ostates, ‘These estates aro all worked by slave labor, and tus Prosident ig in the awkward, position of using the power Of tus Mt will sewn... United States to defend Americans in possession or the enjoyment of slaves in Cuba; whereas they would be punished as pirates if they attempted to bring the same property to their own country. The bill, coming as it does from the democratic side, has attracted a good deal of attention to-night, It is universally ap- proved, “ROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasuixoron, Jan. 23, 1876, rue Pouicy op .LY HOUSE ON THE FINANCIAL . qn om The doings and. intentiom°f ‘he Ways and Means and Appropriations committee’?

Mr, Springer introduced a bill in the House to-day providing an election law for the Territory of Utah. ‘The present law was passed hy the present Legislature ofthat Territory and is wholly in the interests of the Mormons. Under its operations it will be impossible to ever outvote them. It permits women, girls and polygamous wives to vote, regardless of age or time of residence in the Territory. It numbers the bal- lots so that the judge can tell how every person votes, and every woman who votes against the interests of the Church is at once ostracised. There is but one judge ot elections, and he canvasses the votes im secret and abnounces the rosult at his pleasure, There is no pun- ishment for fllegal voting or fraud porpetrated, The bill provides a general election law similar to election laws in several other States, except that tt prohibits any Digamist or polygamist from voting. This bill was prosented by Mr. Baskin, tho contesting Delegate, and his Gentile friends m Utah. It was ro- ferred to tho Judiciary Committe Mr, Baskin ar. rived in Washington this morning, and will urge the passage of the bill as the only means of placing tho government of the Territory in the hands of honest people, Tho large Gentile population in that Territory are determined to have their rights sustained by Con- gress, and the first steps toward it, they claim, is a free and untrammelled ballot THE CENTENNIAL BILL IN THE SENATE. The Senate will pass the Centennial bill as it camo from the House, the Philadelphians having agreed to take tho half loaf rather than risk sending the bill back to the House, The clerical error in the date, 1875, will not invalidate the bill, an opinion to that effect having been given by Reverdy Johnson and Judge Black. A WHISKEY RING UNEARTHED IN NEW ORLEANS, A despatch trom New Orleans to-night says that the Internal Revenue agents there have come across a whiskey ring of startling proportions, and that they have telegraphed to the Treasury Department for th- structions and ampler powers, The despatch advises the recipient of it to look out for the striking of light- ning all along the line. DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY THE CoMMIT- TEE OF EXPENDITULES OF THE WAR DEPART- ‘MENT. In the prosecution of their labors the Investigating Committee upon Expenditures of the War Department, of which Mr. Hiester Ciymer is chairman, encountered the greatest unwillingness on the part of officers of the army to speak of army matters, and, in explanation of this reticence, were roferrod by the latter to. general order of the War Department, issued in March, 1873, which prohibits oMcers, both active and retired, from recommending anything to members of Congress, and ordering all petitions and suggestions of a military nature to Congress to be sent through the General of the Army and Secretary of War. that he attempted to prevent thieves and plunderers from gaining the control of the party and misleading the colored people, and that, if he bad been sustained by the federal administration, Miesissippi would be to-day a republican State by at least 60,000 majority, half white. They say that Alcorn carried the State by 39,000 majority; that Ames, his successor, car- ned it by but 18,000, and that after two years of Ames the State has gone democratic by 90,000, and they lay the blame of this lessening majority and final defeat to the maladministration of Ames and bis followers. They believe that Alcorn can secure the suppors of his State and has force of character enough to head « general movement for reform in the Southern republican party. When Senator Morton completes his speech Senator Alcorn will make a statement of the situation of affairs in Mississippi, and will show the Senate that Mr. Mor- ton has allowed himseit to be made the victim of a huge hoax by a set of unscrupulous politicians, Thore are some evidences of this fact bere already. For instance, Governor Ames, who pre- tends to be the true and only friend of the abused negro, approved a bill passed by a repub- ican Legislature entirely under his control, under which the Governor is allowed to take the negro con- victs from the State Prison and bind them out as plan- tation laborers, and under this law he gave the con- tract for thas reducing these, unfortunate blacks to slavery to a favorite of his, 0. C. French, who sub lets it and farms out this negro labor to the planters This practice is so mischievous that provious to Ames’ ad- ministration some such contracts, which had been made under military authority, were annulled. Ames made this 0. C, French Commissioner to the Centen- nial Exhibition, and he has been bero deceiving Senator Morton into the belief that Governor Ames is tho especial friend of the blacks, French, who is, under Ames, the means of reducing a large number of negroes to virtual slavery, came here as member for Mississippi of the Republican National Committee, ACTION OF BEPUBLICAN SENATORS TO RETAIN THEIR SLENDER MAJORITY—THE CASE OF SPENCER AND PINCHBACK. The election of Eustis to the Louisiana Senatorsbip will probably help Pinchback’s admission. Senator Morton, it ts understood, will make the point in the Senate on Thursday that if Pinchback is not admitted Eustis must be; that Louisiana ought to have a Sena- tor, and the Senate must decide which of the two it will take. Under this pressure, it is thought, the repub- Iteans will admit Pimchback, because to throw him out and let Bustis in would be to facrifice two votes which, with the very slender republican majority, they dislike todo. This consideration forms also Senator Spencer's stronghold. There are republican Senators who would vote for his expulsion, the charge that ho obtained his election by the means mentioned in the Alabama mo- morial being generally believed, and his intimate asso- ciation with Hines, charged with Post Office fraads, making bis presence in the Senate distasteful to many Senators, but it is known that his successor would be a democrat A BILL TO PREVENT AMERICAN CTTIZENS HOLD- ING SLAVES IN CUBA—ITS EFFECT UPON OUR DEMANDS FOR REDRESS PROM SPAIN. Mr. Springer, democrat, of I!linots, introduced to-day in the House a bill “to prevent American citizens from holding slaves in foreign countries.” It provides that | Rey, g. P, Smith, ex-Commissionor of Indian Affatrs, peetion of the “citizens of the United States, temporarily residing and doing business in foreign countries, are hereby pro- hibited from owning, leasing, buying and selling or in any megver trafficking in persons held as slaves in any such countries or their dependencies, and that all citizens of the United States violating the provisions of this act, by themselves, their agents or employés, shall be deprived ofall claims to protestion from the govern- mont of the United States for wrongs committed or | Josses suffored by them in such foreign States, countries | or thei¢ dependencies on account of such slaves. ‘The last four words will probably be struck out by the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to which the bill bas been sent, as there is no disposition to mince matfors on this subject. Mr. Springer himself intends to vote against them, as they were putin the bill against bis wishes, He means to have them outlawed. It fg beld that no American has a claim to protection while he is asing slave labor, If the bill become a law Under the requirements of this same order every army officer, on arriving in Washington during tho session of Congress, must not only register his name at the Ad- Jutant General’s office, but write a letter to that official informing him what business calls him to Washington ‘and how long he expects to be occupied with it, THE BANKRUPTCY OF SENATOR DORSEY--SCHED- ULE OF LIABILITIES.

It | seems likely that from $200,000 to $300,000 of negotin. ble private property was stolen besides the registered bonds and certifed stock, yellow the bank Itself stands appears from this official etter: — To Oscan Kowanps, President Bank »— Northampton National Thave examined the condition of your bank and find that there has been abstracted, in money sud ayallabl rty simounting in cash vi to St. A), of property held by the bauk as ol able there bas been take: total possibie Joss to the bank of Slik: 79, After charging off the pank had @ sw Joss there will be surpins to the credit of ‘the bank 7,420, Upon this certainly you are to, be con DANIEL NERD A National Bank Examinor, There is yet no trace of the burglars, and it-seems certain that they have reached New York or Boston, or both.

The burglary at the National Bank of Northampton, Mass, and the successful flight of the thieves with nearly $1,000,000 worth of plunder, recalls to mind the robbing of the Concord National Bank, of Concord, Mass, some ten years ago. In some particulars the work of the thieves was similar, but the annals of crimo will be searched in vain fora more skilful or daring burglary than that of the Concord Bank, an outline of which is given below. On tho 25th of Septomber, 1865, the National Concord Bank, of Concord, Mass, was en- tered in broad daslight, during the absence of the cashier at dinner, and robbed of $310,000 in United States bonds, notes and securities, being the entire funds of the institution, The manner in which the robbery was committed for a longtime remainod a mystery, 80 adroitly was it contrived, the skill of tho thieves being only equallod by that of the dotectives in tracking them and-iinally Tecovering the greater portion of the money. It subsequently tran- ed that the thieves had watched or ‘‘set”’ the bank for a long time, making occasional trifing inquiries, 80 that they could note the habits of the cashier, the loca. tion ot the vault and other items necessary for the accomplishment of their nefarious planus. They then turned their attention to the street door, and after working fifteen days and nights, off and on, succeeded 1m fitting a key which gave them access to the interier of the building. This, however, was the easiest part of jabor, a8, after getting into the banking room, was'up stairs, they had seven more locks before ald’ reach the strong box or safe, in the inner recess of the vault. 1t seems almost incredible, but it {8 nevertheless on record that eighty nights were spent in tho bank, and as an instance of their’ daring und the way they worked together each took his turn sleoping on the r, while the others worked. They were ini the main yault twenty or thirty times before they got into the sufo which held the prize they were ring for, the lock being of acombination pattern, aud the slightest tura of the index alter the removal of the key prevented the theives fo setting the new key, and as this could only happen by accident, the chances of ultimate suc- cess were next to nothing Baflied onthe very verge of success, it was devermined to use gunpowder; but there was a man who slept in an adjoining house, not twenty yards from the safe, 6o {t was arranged to choose a blustering night when the equinoctial gales were blowing. Tio safe was to be wrapped in wet blankets and everything done to smother the noise. But the gale did not blow, so it was determined to carry the safe bodily away tm broad daylight With this end in view the habits of the cashier were studied, and it was found that he was absent from the bank about two hours each day. Accordingly on the 26th of September, 1865, everything being in readi- ness, after the cashier had locked the bank and gone homo one of the gang boldly walked up to the tront door and, unlocking it, waiked in. As he did so a little girl came up and asked for Mr. Cheney, the cashier, He wld her coolly that he would not be back until two o'clock. He then went up stairs and shortly after aman came to the door and knocked for some time, His accomplices, posted in sight with the borse and wagon, became frightened, thinking the plan had been detected. The ono in the butlding found the key of the safe in the vault, but the cashier had omitted to move the index, which left the lock at the mercy of the thie(, Had the index been set even the key would have been useless. The work of plunder then com- menced, the daring thief Lagat | within the vanit nearly half an hour, during which time he actually gathered together Moi Aas Ad value in the keeping of the bank. He then to his departure, locking all the doors behiad him except the street door. He was met on the road a few miles away out by his con- federates, and they all drove off, leaving absolutely no trace behind therm. As soon as the loss was discovered the Chief of Police of Boston sent several dotectives to Concord, who, after making a thorough examination, reported what lite they had been able to gather to Superintendent of Police Kennedy, of New York. It was the tm; jon at first, so cleanly had the work been done, that the thieves were in collusion with some ofticial or employs of the bank. The caso was thon put in the hands of Chief Detective John Young and Cap- tain Jourdan, of the Sixth precinct, New York. | Captato Jourdan, whose experience with criminals was very extensive, came to the conclusion that the robbery had been committed by some one known fora long tite to the poli 4 that the thieves must havo an agent to negotiate the stolen bonds. Captain Jour- dan caused the arrest of a known criminal, There was proof upon which he could have been convicted of counterfeiting. He offered, if he should not be prose- cuted, to do anything in his power for Jourdan. He was set at work on the Concord case, and soon found a man who agreed to furnish him with $20,000 in bonds at seventy-five per cent of their par value on the following , Careial watching of and skilful diplomacy wit this man, with a prudent use of threats, imduced him at length to divalgo the name and the biding place of the robber the police wanted. Ho was taken in a ttle cottage on the banks of the Delaware River near Camden, Having arrested him the detectives nearly tore the house and barn to pieces in the vain endeavor to find the lost securitios, Finally Captain Jourdan by ai p found » glass jar containing $100,000 tn United States bonds and in the sandy bank of the river abox with $76,000 in bonds, &c, The whole amount of $199,351 was thus recovered, a tri- Pw od of detective génius such as has rarely been equal CINCINNATI SOUTHERN RAILROAD.
