FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. THE DANGER TO SECRETARY BRISTOW BLOWN OVER—THE HOUSE INVESTIGATION OF THE WHISEE: 'Y FRAUD TRIALS, . ‘The political atmosphere is clearer to-night than it has been for some time past. There are still rumors that the Secrotary of the Treasury will resign, but they are feebly uttered and there is no truth in them. The politicians who have been trying to mislead the Presi- dent into a blunder which would have been fatal to his reputation and, probably, to his party, have heard from the country, and are now silenced, There is no doubt that the general feeling of alarm and indignation which has arisen over the country has scared the viler Sort of politicians here. They dared not face the storm they saw arising. On Monday the House will demand the papers and documents of all kinds in the whiskey fraud investiga tions and trials, and will probably appoint a coin- mittee to receive and examine them, FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Pag Re Re SY Wasmrnaron, Feb, 25, 1876.

SECRETARY FISH ON THE CONNECTION OF MINIS- TER SCHENCK WITH THE EMMA MINE COM- PANY, The House Committee on Foreign Affairs made a report to-day briefly recapitulating the points in the correspondence between the Secretary of State and General Schenck. The documents were ordered to be printed and referred back to the committee, The chairmen stated that the committee were of opinion that information of an important character has not yet been submitted to them, Secretary Fish, in answering the call of the commit- teo for the correspondence, closes his communication as follows :— As the resolution of the House makes a reference to the action of the Executive Department of the gov- ernment on this question I deemed it due to General Schenck, as a public officer who has had various and important public trusts, and who has for many years occupied a prominent position before the country, to further stave that the course adopted in the department growing out of these facts was based on the conviction that, while the use of the name of the Minister of the United States in such an enterprise was inconsistent with his position, at the same time that General Schenck had been guilty of no wrong purpose or intent in connecting himself With the company in question. 1 remain firmly of this opinion and am further satisfied that he, in common with many others, became a sul- ferer thereby. The Secretary then responds to that part of the resolution asking Imformation concerning the action taken by the Executive Department concerning the connection of the Minister to £ngland with the prose- cution of the ‘‘Mechado Claim” against the British government. He gives a history of the case, and con- cludes by saying:— So far as reflections have been cast upon General Schenck because of the prosecution of these claims or because of 4 presentation of them by him to the British government, @ sense of justice compels me to say that | am satisfied that such reflections are unjust, and that General Schenck 1s open to no imputations whatever arising therefrom, THE EFFORT TO MAEB THE POST OFFICE DE- PARTMENT SELF-SUSTAINING, The Senate, some time since, passed an order direct- ing the Committee on Post Offices and Post koads to consider and report some plan by which the part. ment might be made self-sustaining. In their Investi- gations the committee find that the second class of mail matter, which includes only newspapers and magazines issued to regular subscribers, is now carried at an annual loss of nearly $8,000,000 beyond the postage, and that this sum equals the en- tire deficiency of the department. The committee have considered the best means of fixing the rate on third class mattcr and next Thursday will take up the rates on second class. They have fuvited the managers of a sufficient number of papers to give a representation of their different interests, as it was impossible to in- vite all to confer with them, and to suggest how tho Tates on second Class matter can be raised and give the least annoyance and inconvenience to publishers and the public, It is believed that if the rates on news- papers can be raised so as to yield only $3,000,000a year that the postage on letters can be reduced to two conte.

The ons «given by General Miller covered all the details of the business He hoped the committee would make a searching examination, and that the committee would not conceal anything which the company desired to know. Tho charges made agajnst the company were malicious falsehoods, The committee hstened attentively and seemed well satistied with the prompt and earnest answers of tho witness, who denied that any improper influence had been used In procuring the lease. THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS AND THR DILL 70 RESTORE SOUTHERN PENSIONERS TO THE ROLL, The republican Senators had a caucus to-day on the bill to restore to the pension roll the names of all per- sons dropped for participation In the rebellion. Tho caucus decided that, as the bill allows the payment of arrearages of pensions during the past fourteen or fif- teon years, which are estimated to amount to several millions of dollars, the bill ought not to be passed in the present condition of the Treasury. This action will secure its defeat in the Senate THE CATTLE RAIDS ON THE RIO GRANDE.

New Urieays, Feb, 25, 1876, In the House during the morning hour Mr. Kidd (democrat), of Jackson parish, offered @ motion that a committee of soven be appointed by the Speaker to in- vestigate what charges, if any, there are against William P. Kellogg demanding his impeachment, and that they report as early as practicable. Mr. Matthews (republican), of Tennas parish, raised the point of order that this was an order of the House and pot a motion, and could not be adopted without a suspension of the rules, The Speaker overruled the point of order, Several republican members demunded the yeas and nay Tho Speaker declined to order the yeas and nays, and declared the motion carried, Late in the evening the speaker announced the com- mittee as follows:—Messrs, Wiltz, Young, Kid, Koouts, Jeffries, democrats, and Levisso and Demas, republi- cans, Mr. Demas moved that three republicans be placed on the committee, Tabled by a strigt\party vote. Of the five democrats on the committee all but Wiltz signed the Wheeler adjustinent agreement. This movement took the republicans by surprise as they did not anticipate any impeachment movement until after the Mardi Gras. Governor Kellogg tonight addressed the committee a formal communication stating:—“I respecttully re- quest to be informed when your committee proposes to enter upon this investigation, in order that I may ape pear in person or by counsel as provided by section 1,789, Revised Statutes.” Governor Kellogg has issued a proclamation con vening the Senate tn extra session, to commence tmmes diately on the expiration of the present regular session, on Thursday, March 2, and to continue for and during the space of 'ten days, for the purpose of considering any executive or other business that may be brought before them, or for the purpose of sitting as a court of impeachment if necessary. The impression among the republicans seems to be that it was the purpose of the House to prefer articles of impeachment against the Governor and Licutenant Governor on the lust day of the session, which would suspend them from office and leave the Speaker of the House acting Governor under the constitution, and it is believed that convening the Senate in extra session will operate to quiet impeachment schemes, THE SIOUX WAR. THE GARRISON OF FORT PEASE RESCUED, (From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] St. Lours, Feb, 25, 1870. A special from Leavenworth, Kan., states that Fort Pease, on the Yellowstone, has been abandoned by the garrison. According to the latest advices received from that point Colonel Brisbin had arrived thero with a small company of troops and barely saved the garrison, Which was in imminent danger of being massacred by the Sioux, who were gradually closing in on the fort. Tne Indians seemed to be greatly enraged on account of the escape of their prey, and it is expected that Colonol Brisbin and his troops will have to fight their way back to Fort Elliott, It is evident that the Indians are well armed and capable of doing a great deal of damage.

Soeianleandpellshidatiey ACADEMY OF MUSIC—ITALIAN OPERA. An interesting performance took place last night at the opera house in Irving place. The masterwork of Mozart in opera, “Don Giovanni,” was presented for the purpose of giving Mlle. Titiens an opportunity to sing, under the best advantages, the two magnificent arias of Donna Anna, and of bringing out Madame Teresa Carreno-Sauret as an operatic débutante, There was much to admire and much to praise in Madame Carreno’s first effort in public at operatic singing. She seemod to be en rapport with the réle, and her singing was admirable, There might be, to one who has heard Sontag and Lucca in this’ rdle, ® soupcon of timidity in the lady’s acting, natural, of course, to a first appearance, but the accomplishe vocal artist was shown im every scene, and a really beautiful voico was evineed in the well known arias, “Batti, batt!” and ‘Vedrai Carino.” Mme. Carreno may be complimented on having made the most decided success as a débutante in sca jan opera ever known in this city, It 18, indeed, a triumph when an American pianist who has won high renown as an interpreter of the noblest works of classical writers achieves the most honorable position as songstress in an opera by such a composer as Mozart. Mile, Titiens proved herself worthy of the great rep- utation which she years ago attained in the rote of Donna Anna. The two songs (if Mr. Wagner will per- mit us to use such @ term in connection with an operatic scena), which have stirred the operatic world for weil nigh a century were delivered with an effect and grandeur that called forth reminiscences of Grist and Pasta among many present. Miss Beaumont was an agreeable representative of Elvira. Brignoli made one of bis old time hits in Don Ottavio’s “Il mio tesoro,” The rest of the cast was abomimable. The chorus and orchestra, undor the direction of Mr. Ma- retzek, showed careful training. ‘La Favorita’’? will be given to-day, JERSEY AND ‘JULIUS CHSAR.” Last evening a large calcium light blazed on a pro cession of about seventy-five gentlemen who marched on the north side of Wost Twenty-third street in the direction of Booth’s Theatre, At the head of the pro- cession marched Joseph H. Tooker, manager of Booth’s Theatre, and Governor Bedle, of the State of New Jer- sey, and closely following the two gentlemen men- tioned came Henry ©, Kelsey, Secretary of State; WwW. J. D. Hall, Assistant Secrotary of State; HL. Wright, State Treasurer, and State Comp- troller Runyon, all of New Jersey. Atter these come eighteen State Senators, among whom were Messrs. Leon, Abbett, Sewell, Madden and Hill, and fotiowing the eighteen Senators were fifty-one members of the New Jersey State Assembly, two by two, and looking exceedingly happy. Manager Tooker bad in- yited the Governor of New Jersey, his Cabinct, the Senate and Assembly some time back to witn ss the play ot Julius Cwsar at Booth’s, and they having ac- cepted the invitation, Mr, Tooker met the representa- tives of the noble State of New Jersey in the vestibule of the Fifth Avenue Hotel at eight o'clock, and the word having been given by Mr. Tooker, the Legislature and captains of fifties feil into line, two by two. On reaching Booth’s Theatre they were met at the entrance by Mr, Henry ©, Jarrett, who welcomed the Governor and his associates warmly. Governor Bedle smiled graciously, and he and his cabinet wore taken and placed in box “F,” on the right of the stage, by Messrs. Jarrett and Tooker, the box ing handsomely decorated with the American colors, 4 having the shield and arms of New Jersey above the trance, The opposite box, “A,” was occupied by ex-Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, and some ladies, The Governors of the two neighboring States saluted each other, As Governor Bedle ontered his box with t Signor Operti gave the signal with his wand orchestra struck up the air, “Hail to the Chief!" The Governor rose and bowed to the compli- ment, tho audience, which filled the house completely, cheered, the Senate rose and bowed, au- then applauded, after which fifty- one members of the Assembly rose @nd bowed which act of courtesy brogght down thunderous shouts of applause. . After ‘second and when Cwsar had been well killed, M. © Tooker brought Governor Bedlo and his Cabinet behind the scenes and introdaced them to Messrs. Barrett, Davenport, Bangs, Collmr, Levick and Vincent, and a few moments were spent im admiring the scenic effects and caved machinery, whi laimed by Stage Manager Vincent to the Gubernatorial party. At the conclusion of the performanca, when tho guests left, a display of firewot was given them they made their exit from the main entrance. THE “DALLO IN MASCHERA” AT THE LYCEUM. An unusual and attractive performance is prom. ised for next Monday nigut at the Lycoum Theatre, Verdi’s “Ballo in Maschera” will be given under tho direction of the well known maestro, Signor Albites, with the principal parts filled by amateurs, except tho part of Azucena, which will be personated by Mme, Gazzaniga, The amateurs who will come before tho public on this occasion are the popiis of Signor Albites and Mme, Gazzaniga. It may not be goncrally known to the public that we have tn this city a musical col- lege of such proportions and excellence that its stu. dents can vénture safely on so ambitious a project af the performance in public of a work of each impor- tance as the “Ballo in Maschera;’ but from our ae- quaintance with the capabilities of the pupils we may safely say tbat this opera is not always rendered by professionals with the fidelity, spirit and freshness which will distinguish this performance of amateurs. ‘Phis event marks an epoch in the history of musi here, and is eminently honorable to our progress im this great study.

Y., on Wednesday evening. The performance was so successful that the ladies and gem- tlemen engaged in it were induced to repeat it on the two following evenings. The great feature of the opera was the performance gf Zeresh by Miss Lottie HL Anderson, This lady has a rich and cultivated come tralto voice, and sung and acted with powor, sweet- ness and finish almost worthy of a trained artiste. Mrs. McEntee (the wife of the artist) as Esther looked and sung the part of the queen charmingly. Mr. Van Wagner’s Ahasuerus was a very creditable perform- ance, being well sung and acted with dignity. The choruses were well managed.
