CONGRESS.. Passage by the Senate of the Bill for Counting the Electoral Vote. THE INCREASE OF POSTAL ROUTES The Executive, Legislative and Judicial Ap- propriation Bill. Different Views of Members on the Sen- timents of the People. SENATE. Wasmincrox, March 24, 1876. ‘The Chair laid before the Senate the House bil in relation to political contributions. Mr. Davis, (dem.) of W. Va., suggested that the bill | be sent to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Hows, (rep.) of Wis., thought it affected politi- tal matters more than anything else and that there was no law question connected with it that any com. pittee was not competent to wrestle with, and he sug- gested that it be sent to the Committee on Privileges ind Elections. Agreed to. THN POSTAL ROUTE DILL. ‘The Sonate took up for consideration the Post Route aL Mr. Haan said the committee had paid personal attention to all the proposed routes and had made per- sonal inquiry from different members as to the neces- sity of all they had proposed. They had stricken out and inserted only such as they had carefully scruti- aged, and perhaps upon this statement the Senate would not insist upon having the bill read in full. Alter some discussion the bill was amended as to minor points and passed. THR KLKCTORAL VOTE. The Senate then resumed consideration of Senate pill No, 1, to count the votes of President and Vice President. Mr, BuRNatps moved to reconsider the vote whereby ‘he bill was passed to the third reading, and then in- wroduced an amendment, which was lost. Other amendments were offered and rejected, when the question was taken on the passage of the bill, and fd passed by a vote of 32 yeas to 26 nays, as fol- WS — THE VOTE, Yeas—Mensrs, Allison, Anthony, Boutwell, Burnside, Jameron of Pennsylvania, Cameron of Wisconsin, Chri fancy, Dawes, Dorsey, Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Hamilto famaiin, Hitchcock, Ingalls, Jones of Novada, Key, Loyal an, Merrimon, Mitchell, Morrill of Maine, Moxto: lesby, ‘Paddock, Patterson, ‘Sargent, Sherman, Spencet jurman, Windom and Wricht—32. ‘avs—Messrs. bayard, Bogy, Carpenter, Cockrell.

He did hope that in that chamber was allowed some measure could be per- sted to meet the necessity of the case. Ifnot there was no ho of getting it done at this Congress. The motion was entered. On motion of Mr. SARGENT the Senate took up the Sonsular and Diplomatic bill and made it tne order of pee, and upon his motion then, at ten minutes of ive P. M,, went ifto executive session and at five Wolock adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Wasnixcron, March 24, 1876. The Sreaxer proceeded to call committees for reports of a private nature. TUR APPROPRIATION BILIe The House then went into Commytteo of the Whole, Mr. Cox, of New York, in the chair, on the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill, with the un- flerstanding that general debate on the bill would be ‘mited to one hour, Mr. Huruuorr, (rep.) ot Il, replied to the invectives which had been poured against tho republican party y the gentlemen from Georgia and North Carolina Messrs, Hilland Yeates), and criticised the speech of | de gentleman from Georgia as an astounding parody oa ihe parable of the prodigal son, with the difference What the prodigal son asked his father’s forgiveness, while the Southern people did not, Mr. Kassox, (rep.) of lowa, spoke against the reduc- ion of salaries. " At the close of Mr. Kasson’s speech the commit- tee proceeded to consider the bill in detail, The item for the compensation of Senators, which is the first item in the bill, having been read, which fixes the salary at $4,500, Mr. Baker, of Indiana, moved to reduce it to $3,000, This was rejected. Mr. Fosrsr, (rep.) of Ohio, moved to reduce it to 2,700, and intimated that the democratic majority, if wanted to be consistent, should vote for the reduc- tion to $2,700. Mr. Raspatt (interrapting)—Why did not you pro- © that amendment in the committee imstead of re- fisting (he reduction of the paltry ten per cent we have made? Mr. Fosten—I am not to be catechised on the floor. Mr. RaNpAe (persistently)—I want to show to the tountry and the House the inconsistency, the dupli- tity of the gentieman from Ohio in coming’ in here and offering an amendment to reduce the salaries of mem- ders to $2,700, while he resisted in the committee the reduction of $500, Mr. Foster—I have a good answer to the attack, Mr. Raxpatn—I have made no attack. Mr. Fostern—You have charged me with duplicity wd inconsistency. Mr. Ranpati—There is no sincerity in your amend- nent, and you do not expect it to be adopted. Mr, Foutkr—Try it and see. Mr. Raxpatt—The Committee on Appropriations has fixed the compensation of members where I think the people of the country will be satisted, Mr. Foster defended his action in offering his amend- ment Mr. Hoar, (rep.) of Mass., trusted that the House did not propose to present the pitiful spectacle that was presented im the jast two Congresses, of wrangling about ts own pay. If thero was anything in the political history of the country that he would give a ood deal to have strack out it was the debates on hat suoject if the Jast two Congresses, He would vote against any change in the salary of members— first, because it was a thing which ought not to be stirred: rf political purposes; and second, because he t on the whole it was as near right as it could be got, He entirely respected and honored the ytion of the geutioman trom Pennsylvania (Mr. ) when he said that he yielded his mdividual judgment in a matter where ho was personally con- cerned to the general sentiment of the people, and he sympathized with bim very much when, on being asked what he had done with the money, he replied it ‘was none of the business of the questioner—a very good answer. Mr. Raxpaut explained that the difficulty which tho committeo bad met was that if other salaries were re- Guced and not the jes of members they would be bor ble with inconsistency. He had great respect for the views of the gentloman from Massachusetts yet his argument would really go to show that ought to be reduced. It seemed to him (Mr, Randalij that thefe was but one safe, firm ground on which to stand, and that was to apply tie same measure of reduction to all salarics. The House could not go through the reductions proposed if st did not reduce the salaries of \ts own members, Mr. Hannisox, (dem.) of IIL, opposed Mr. Foster's amendment, and favered the reduction pro this bill. They could not go before their constituents and defend themselves unless they cut down their own salaries approximately. Mr. i (dem. ) of Ga, moved to make the reduc- tion of salaries commence on the 4th of Mareb, 1877, und agreed with Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, that it was indecent for members of Congress to be squabbling over their own pay. iis (Hill's) amendment would te that difficulty by making the reduction apply Congress, «tion being on Mr, Foster's amendment, Mr. iked Mr. Randall to allow a vote by yeas and '§ in the House. ir. Raxpats said thet in this early stage of the bill he was unwilling to depart from the usual rule. Mr. Fostxn—There ts no rule against that. Mr. Rawpat.—Well, the usual practice. Mr. Fostar—Will y iow me to offer the amend- ment in the House? Mr. Raxpaut—tI am not so instructea by the com- ey (Laughter on the republican side.) 1 will vote lor it. SPEECH OF MI. TOWNSEND. Mr. baihy ering! ac ot N. Y., hud no besitation in declaring himself opposed to the amendment of the entieman from Ohio (Mr. Foster), as he was opposed 19 the proposition of the committee. He had come here under a substantial contract betweer himselt and the people that he was to be allowed $5,000-a year for his services, and he was nnwilling to allow any set of rsons to siren repudiation on him, (Laughter.) fre did not believe that the people desired to give over their destinies to professional politicians or to rich mon, He wished he was rich, too. The present sal- ary Was not too much for any man who could not live out of his private fortune, or out of post traderships, or out O| railroad grants, and there was not enough o| them togo round, (Latghter.)

Mr. Dovenass, (dem.) of Va., moved to fix the sal- aries at $3,400, and remarked ‘that, so far as the ques- tion of rich and poor was concerned, he might say, for the Southern element particularly, “The poor ye have | always with ye”? He was sure that uo member in the | House stood in greater need than himselt, but if the | resence of the majority on this floor meant anything it meant that it was a representative expression of the demands of the people for retrenchment and reform, Mr. O'Briex, ot Maryland, argued that a reduotion | of salaries was not demanded by any public sentiment, and said that It was a small matter as compared to the gigantic fraad to whieh the geutieman from Indiana | (Mr. Holman) had already pledged his support. He re- ferred to that geptieiman as being nominally the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, but practically the leader of that committee, He (Mr, Holman) was the kite and the rest of the committee were the tail, w don that tail was emblazoned the “sbibboleth’’ cconomy, while, at the same time, that gentloman was pledged’ to yote for a bill that would take 4 hundred millions out of the Treasury. Mr. Honmay—What bill is that? Mr. O’Brrmx—The Bounty bill, which you are pledged to support. Mr, Hotmax—Why, certainly, Iam for that (Laugh- ter.) Mr. O’Brimx—The gentioman from Indiana proposes: areduction of salaries while ho would tak: 100,000,000 One swoop in the way of bounties to soidiers who have been already overpaid. Mr. Houman defended his position on the subject of the Bounty bill, and eulogized the brave men who had 80 nobly fought the baities of the late war and to whose perils and sacrifices the country was indebted for the maintenance of the Union, and he expressed his indignation that such a bill should be characterized as @ gigantic fraud. After a stormy struggle over the question of an ad- journment till Monday and the alternative of a session for debate to-morrow, the former proposition pre- vailed through the persistency of Mr. Page, of Califor- bres and the House, at six o’clock, adjourned wll Mon- lay. SENATOR CAMERON DECLINES AN ANNIVERSARY DINNER. The following sa copy of a letter written by Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, in reply to an invitation from his colleagues in the Lower House to accept a banquet in honor of his soventy-eighth birthday :— Unirep STATES SeNatTR CHaAMnaR, Wasuinetox, March 22, 1876. GextTLEMEN—I acknowledge the invitation you send me to meet you at a banquet on such a day as may be indicated by myself and the terms tn which that invi- tation is conveyed with profound pleasure, You are pleased to refer to my past life in words of approval and compliment, and to express the hope that my health and vigor may continue, 1 thank you very Sincerely. My aim through life has been to do my dyty, and to do it as unostentatiously a possible, trusting to time to settle the controversic Bure to arise concerning the methods and motives of aby man who feels strongly and acts vigorously. In this reliance your letter shows me that I have been fortunate, Atier passing seventy-seven years in the State that gave me birth, and sixty years of that long Hifetime tn active private pursuits and public duties, 1% is beyond expression pleasant to hear the voice of the Representatives of Pennsylvania express their satisfac- tion and approval. And this is evough. No entertain- ment that could be given, no sentiment that might be added, would be capable of increasing the joy your in- vitation hus conferred, While acting my part in the national councils I have always remembered with affection the great Commonweaith that has so often honored me, andl am now unconscious of any wilful neglect of her mighty interests, of any lukewarm- ness when her welfare has been m question. More tian partisanship the good _ of Pennsylvama has had a place in my heart. As a democrat Iwas forced to oppose my party in the imtorests of protection. As a republican 1 have sought to combine the brains and’ masses of that great organi- gation in a@ sold force vor that wise policy. And T now look back with an approving conscience on my course in both the great political parties of that period covered by my active political life, Theretore it is that your approval of my course as a Pennsylvanian is £0 gratifying to me, But, gentlemen, a regard for the pleasanter way of doing What is set before ie without Parade induces me to hesitate in accepting your invi- tation, On full reflection 1 feel forced to decline it, and I trust the reasons which control me in this decis- fon will not only be appreciated by you and the gentle- men you represent, but that they will not be deated a measure of that approval which you have so generously aud partially accorded to my past life. If, on the completion of my present Senatorial term, the same de- sire to approve a finished course shall exist, I will then meet you with pleasure and free from any restraints, for my work will have been done and a juster estimate can then be made of how it was done. Tam, gentlemen, with sentiments of gratitude and esteem, your Iriend, SIMON CAMERON. Hon. John W, Wallace, Hon. Sobieski Ross, Hon. Chap+ man Freeman, Hon. Alan Wood, Committee, MR. DANA AND THE MISSION TO ENGLAND. A DEFENCE BY A FRIEND OF THE NOMINEE. To Tie Evrror or Tx Heraro:— The triends of Mr, Richard H. Dana are much grati- fied at the vory fair and courteous statement presented in the Heratp of yesterday of his position as the nominee of the President for the most important diplo- matic office in the gift of the government. Whether or not he shall be confirmed by the Senate is of very little consequence as compared with the question whether the poople of this country shall accept as just the asper- sions upon bis character made to the committee, ina purely ev parte manner, by his principal political op- ponent in Massachusetts—an ‘opponent who has ceased to enjoy the confidence of his own party in bis own State—ana of a literary enemy, whose hostility bas long been of the most pronounced and bitter character. On the merits of Mr, Butler’s political ho: tility, the members of the Legislature of Massachusetts without distinction of party, have signified their opinion in an emphatic man. er by joining in a recom- mendation’ to the Senators of the State in Congress that Mr. Dana’s nomination be confirmed. The Bar of Boston, than which there is no more honorabie or conscientious body, have rendered their professional verdict with equal unanimity upon the issue raised by Mr. Beach Lawrence. Nor is this very unusual (because non-partisan) 1n- dorsement of a candidate tor political office confined to the peighvors and friends and professional associates of Mr, Dana in Massachusetts and Boston, He is equally esteemed wher- ever he is known throiiguout the world, either in person or by his publications, The World of last Saturday said that he would be sent to Coventry in two weeks by the scholars and jurists of England, and | in proof of it quoted Dr. Abdy’s letter to Mr. Law- renee, written in 1866, which bas been the latter's chevai de battaile in his assault upon Mr. Dana's lit- erary honesty. The facts in the ease, which I am pre- xt to Verily, are these:—When Mr, Lawrence bogan suit for infrin,jment of copyright against Mr. Dai he had his charges and bis own statement, with some ex parte proofs, printed and widely distributed. What- ever answers Le may have received from publicists, he has ventured to make ablic prt a that of Professor Abdy. That letter, from an accidental” turn of the writer's expression, ‘I have read the report of the pleadings, &c.,” gave the impression that he had read the pleadings on both sides, whereas, at the date of his letter, not only had he not seen Mr. Dana’s an- swer and proofs, but on had pot at that time been even put into thecase. Two years later Dr. Abvdy ex- plained all this in terms of bigh respect for Mr. Dana. In England, ever since the publication of bis edition. of Wheaton, Mr. Dana bas been on terms of warm per- sonal iriendship with Mr. Phillimore, Mr. Moutaguo Barnard, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Lord Selborne (Sir Roundeil Tenterden, as weil as with Mr. Gladstone and many scholars of Europe of any note whom Mr, Lawren attacks have in the least affected. In this country Mr. Dana bas Et enjoyed friendship of President. Woolsey, the highest living authority on public law in America, and President Woolsey has recently uttered the strongest sentiments in his favor. He was on terms of equal intimacy, during his Ifetitne, with Professor Lieber, who did @ great deal to bring Mr. Dana and bis edition of Wheaton to the favorable attention of French and German jurists. General Halleck, who, as a military pete held a yery conspicuous position, called Mr. Dana’s book the “expurgated edition” of Wheaton, the expurgation being of that which Mr, Lawrence ina spirit of hos- tility to his coantry bas foisted upon it. It remains to state the inost gratifying indorsement which Mr, Dana’s labors as a judicial writer have ever received. I mean the one that was made of his book ional arbitration at Geneva on the Ala- bama question, His notes were cited frequently w proval by the distinguished counsel on both sides aud by the umpires, and it does not Lawrence's edition was ever quoted, though he annoted the same subjects, When the proceed: riment at Washing- ton, in very courteous terms, asked of Mr. Dana per- mission to print some of his notes, he haying tho copyright, and these notes are annexed to the Ameri- can arguments, I have stated these facts In justice to a public man whose reputation is a national possession, and to a friend and former associate, whom I cannot sco aligned without a vindication, I! Mr. Dana, nomt- nated by the President, is rejected, the public will wal to see the answer which Senators have to give for thus Psa ny et reposed in them by the nation, to permit no man to be confirmed and tw allow no good man to be rejected for pubiie office. 8. W, CAPTURE OF BURGLARS. At two o’clock yesterday morning Officers Doyle and Butler, of the Second precinct, Jersey City, observed strange movements on the part of two men on Pa- vonia avenue, Ono of the men entered the yard ad. joining ex-Mayor O’Neill’s residence, in Hamilton square, and commenced prying open a basement window.

ECLIPSE, To rns Eprror or THe Heratp:— This afternoon, between the hours ef four and six, the moon’s penumbra will be passing over New York city, and the sun will consequently be partially eclipsed, The distance of the moon is so great at this time that its shadow terminates before it reaches the earth, and hence no total eclipse will be visible any- where, But commencing near Vancouver's Island at about noon, and crossing the contivent nearly to Lab- rador at sunset, there will be visible an annular eclipse, the sun appearing for one or two minutes only ateach point as avery narrow ring about the dark body of the moon, In New York city the first ap- proach of the moon will be seon, at one minute after four o’cloek P. M., a8 an indentation upon the western portion of the disk, shown in figure 1. Vig. 1 BEGINNING OF THE RCLIPSH, aT 4m, IM, This indentation will be sharply defined, and will sink deeper until the middle of the eclipse, at 4h. 48m., when a little more than one-fourth of the sun will be covered, equaling one sixth of the total disk, This is shown in figure 2, Fig. 2 MIDDLE OF THE RULIPSH, AT 44, 48M. ‘The shadow will then gradually pass off, leaving the disk at 5h. 35m., on the northern portion of the disk, as shown in figure 3. Fig, 3 END OF THE KCLIPSR, AT Si, 35x. ‘The lotter “N”’ in each figure shows the north point of tho disk, The figures aro eo placed that the top of the figure corresponds to the highest part of the disk, as seen by the naked eye or through a telescope which does not invert. There are many ways to see the eclipse. An easy and well known method is by the aid of apiece of | smoked glass. A portion of the glass should beso | deeply smoked that the sun can be seen with difficulty | first soen through this portion, Then moving the glass gradually \o one side, where the smoke is thin- ner, a place can readily be found, even should there be light clouds, where the sun can bo well seen. In re- moving the glass do not fail to first shut the eye to avoid admitting the full ‘glare of the sun’s rays even | for an instant. If you wish to demonstrate to your friends your scentific proclivities of course you will hold the smoked side of the glass next to the nose, Stained glass has the disadvantage of not being | adjustable, and either the eye will be dazzled in the bright sunlight or the sun will be nearly invisible under light clouds, Either the smoked glass or a dark | glass may be used with an opera glass, a spyglass or a telescope, But still greater care will be required to | avoid injuring the eye, and it will be well to place over | the object giass acap reducing the aperture to two inches or even less Large telescopes are sometimes provided with eyepieces specially designed for observ- ing the sun, in which case the full aperture may be used to advantage. A zafee and betier way to observe an eclipse of the sun is by throwing the imago of the sun upon a screen. 80 several persons nay sve the image at once. plest way to do this is by making a pinhole in the middle of a large card and letting the sun shine through it upon a sheet of white paper at a distance of afoot or more, If there are several small openings in the card, not too near each other—it matters not of what shape—thore will be a corresponding numer of images of the sun. A tin callender, for mstance, held atadistance of eight or ten feet, will give a regular series of imagos, So, in the summer season, the inter- stows in the foliage of a treo will produce an irregular mass of images of the sun which will be seen wo show the phases of an eclipse. It a magnifying giass—the less it magnitles the bet- ter--15 placed over the opening he screen must be held exactly at the distance at which the edge of the disk 18 distinctly defined, This forms a camera obscura, and any form of camera obscura will show the phases of the eclipse well, In this case the opening may be made as large as the jens, unioss the image should be found too bright. A burning glass is wosuttable for this purpose, Lot only because it 18 100 large, concen- trating too mach Lo and heat, probably setting tho screen on fire, but because its focus is so near it that the sun’s image will be toosmall A weak speciacio s forming an Imago at a distance of two feet or more 8b With a large telescope the first and last contacts of | the shadow, the ¢xtent of the eclipse and the solar | spots and mottled surface of the sun can all be seen by several persons at tho same time, by simply draw- ing out the eyeprece slightly. so that the san’s rays shallform a magnified image upon @ screen, which ould be protected from the direct rays of the sun; | this I regard as the most satisfactory mode of view- ing a solar eclipse. The present is not a favorable year for sun spots. If their periodicity, which seems to be well established, can be relied upon, they should be this year least con- spicuous in bombers and in extent. But it happens that at present there are several spots large enough to be easily seen im the telescope on the side of the sun turned toward us, which will probably continae until after the eclipse. ‘I counted yesterday morning no less than twenty, three of which were prominent, streteh- in a line across the middle of the disk, in about twenty- five degrees north solar latitude. The western spot consists of a large nucleus of irregular outly to- gether with a confused mass of lier nuclei, the whole surrounded by an umbra three times the diame- ter of the earth. Passing eastward by a series oi small spots, we come to the central spot, the nucleus of which, without its umbra, is nearly as large as our earth.’ After an interval we come 10 the eastern spot, which Is about the size of our moon, These spots are represented in figures 1 and 3, and partially in figure 2, the umbra being omitted, because it could not well be represented in its proper proportion without a much larger diagr The distance of these Spot, [rom West Lo east, is so great that if our earth were to be dropped into the centre of the umbra of the Wostérn spot, our moon, at its present distance from us, might @,irepred at the same time into the east- ern spot “My measurements were not sufticiently exnet to enable mo to predict with certainty whether the two principal spots will fall for afew minutes be- hind the edge of the moon,‘or will be seen close to the moon at the time of the’ middle of the eclipse, To ascertain this it would be necessary, not merely to make a careful dotermination of the position of the spots at the time of observation and to compate the rotation of the eun tor a period of about thirty two hours, but to know what allewance to make for the motion of the spots themselves. It must be remem- bered®hat they are not Oxed, like the lunar craters, oF the seas upo the planet Mara, but are in motion like the clouds in our atmosphere, and the amount of this motion cannot be predicted. In figure 21 represent my estimate of the appearance of the spots the middle of the eclipse, when they will be most nearly bebind the moon. The above predictions are tor the city of New York. As the moon’s shadow passes terly the farther west the place of observation the earlier in absolute time the eclipse will occur; but this difference will be much less than the difference in local time. For in- Stance, at St. Louis the eclipse will occur about a quar- terof an hour earlier than in New York city; bat the difference of longitade is an hour, so that the eclipse will ocour in St. Louis time about an hour and a quar- tor earlier, making the middie of the eclipse about half-past three o'clock P.M. The magnitude of the eclipse: depends'upon the distance of the piace of ob- servation from the central line, The farther north within the United States the greater is the extent of the eclipse and the longer its duration. As the spots will appear in the same position at all points on ti earth’s surtace, it is probable that at places north of this city they will all be eclipsed, while at places south of this city it is not probable, The observation of a total eclipse of the sun has of late years been valuable in studying the const*tution of the sun and its surroundings. But im « eclipse, even when thero is only @ ring of the sun visible, there is jender still an amount of light thousands of times groater than | that of the full moon, The matin value of their observ: tion is the aid they give in correcting the tables of the moon, which are the basis of all predictions of the moon’s place, and the correctness of which is indis- pensable in navigation, If only the times of the first and last contacts are observed at any given place they can aid us little in determining the error of the tables; but if there are, as at present, a pumber of woll defined spots upon the sup, the contuct of each of which with the limb of the moon can be observed at many points, the exact positions of the spots being ascertained at | tho observatories for tho observed times, it allords much greater aid. And if observers in the Northert States record the contacts of the line of spots now visible it will afford unusual accuracy in correcting tho moon’s latitude, It may be interesting to note that the next solar eclipse visible in this country will occur on July 29, 1878, and that it will be total upon a line extending across the Western States from Idaho to Texas, With- out making any exact computations for this city, it is sale to say that here at that time about one-half the diameter of the sun's disk will bo covered, so that the amount of the disk which will be covered will be at least twice as great then as in the eclipse of to day, HENRY M. PARKHURST, New Yoru, March 25, 1876. THE HAYTIAN PRONUNCIAMENTO. A prominent merchant of Hayti residing in this city received yesterday the following pronunciamento, which ts a copy of the one recently issued in Jacmel, Hayti, when that city went over to the revolutionary party on the occasion of the invaston ot General Bois- rond Canal and party, as detailed in yi day's HERALD LIBERTY, EQUALITY AND FRATERNITY, Crrizexs—in many grave and memorable ctroum- stancos Ihave given you proots of my liberal senti- ments, which guaranteo the happiness of our dear country. The moment has arrived when I am called upon 40 pronounce my opinion as to the well-being of our land. The government of President Miche! Domingues and his nephew, Septimus Rameau, which we resigned ourselves to'submit to sooner than again undergo the horrors of another civil war, bas degraded our honor, our dignity, and compromised our national honor an our hopes of peace at home. From to-day [renounce all allegiance to the tvran- nical government of Domingues, and I appeal to you, without distinction of party and class, to help me in the avcovery of your rights, In inangurating in Jacmel, the scat of liberalism, tne constitutional spirit of 1867, 1 am only co-operating with the citizens whose honesty of purpose have drawn upon them the social ostracism of the existing govern- ment on account of their liberal ideas. Your patriotic | endeavors will soon be crowned with success. Tho actual unbappy situation, you cannot ignore, ts owing to the Machiavellianism and demoralization of Rameau and the weakness of his uncle, Michel Domingues, the President, These magistrates have carried on the ad- ministration of the country, as you must admit, in a | scandalous fashion, and for the last two years we have | been threatened with national bankruptcy and national ruin. Citizens, in all parts of the country we sec degrada. tion and robbery, and youare hereby called upon to work for the regeneration of your fatherland, and you will soon be informed of the revolution wy measures | taken by our new government. Think of the eyes which are bent upon your conduct at this crisis of our national existence, Who are watching how you deal with our country’s liberties, and hope that ‘you will prove yourselves equal to the occasion. Down with ‘the government of Michel Domingues and his nephew. Septimus Rameau, and long live the constitution of 1867! Long live the union of the Haytian Samatly ! Given at our headquarters at Jacmel, the 7th March, 1876, and the soventy-third year of independence. é LOUIS TANIS, Sr. PLYMOUTH PRAYER MEETING. Plymouth lecture room was, as usual, filled to its | utmost capacity by seven o’clock last evening. Mr. Beecher camo in at half-past seven and opened the meeting promptly. After the customary preliminary services Mr. Beecher said:—I think there is a misap- prehension in the popular mind as to the result of a | great deal of teuching—namely, that by faith and prayer we come tothe Lord Jesus Christ, and aro at once released from care and anxiety and lifted into arealm of calmness and joy. I think this is true, I think there is a faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that ren- ders man impenetrable to the shafts of adversity, but 1 don’t think this kind is given to men simply for the asking. We must have the inspiration of God, and the effect of this divine inspiring is to have such a quick- ening of our understanding, a clarification of our moral sense, a development of our common sense, as that we shall take caro of ourselves, My impression is that more than half the things we pray for could be pro- vided by ourselves, Our troubles are our susceptbili- es and want of self-control. If there was better con- trol of ourselves there would be Jess praying for things we now pray tor. For example, every man assumes that his business in life 1s to be happy. How did you find that out? Who told you? My impression is that our business is to become manly, and that by self- denial, not self.gratifcation; that patience is the ma liness that Christ set us the example of. the life of prosperity. We begin with a different theory. Weare gofng todo welland get along well, and the moment we are thwarted we feel as it some law of nature was violated, We will all have troubles, and must accept them; we must have care and troubles. The Word of God says you are a bastard if | * e them, We can only get rid of troubies We must work with God. To have great deal must have rocks, cover them with vines; let something run over the hardness you do not ha by bearing them. | of your lot that ‘shall have teaves and blossoms and trait. A business meeting was held after the prayer meet- ing. MOODY AND SANKEY. The meetings at the Hippodrome yesterday were crowded if possible more than ever. At noor, when the subject was ‘Intemperance,” the Madison avenuo hall was nearly full, and at four o’clock P. M. it was packed with women, In the afternoon Mr, Moody con- tinued the discourse on ‘How to Study the Bible" to | nearly 6,000 women, many of whom had their Bibles with them. At the evening service the crowd was so great that the atmosphere of the hali was positively oppressive, Mr. Mooay spoke from the text, Galatians, vi, 7— | “Be not deceived. God is not mocked: for whaiso- | ” ever a man soweth, that shall ho also reaj He said, No mancan make a greater mistake than to think | he can deceive God. God is nover deceived. | Many a man has come into this hall to-night to langh and to mock, but I call on you young man or young ‘woman, do not mock God, for ‘whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap,” What has become of Babylon, of Romo, of Greece and of all the nations of the earth? They have sowed and they have reaped. And what will become of th Republic that has got suddenly rich and forgotton if it doos not come to repentance soon? It will go to pieces as did all the nations of oid if there is not more righteousness bern in it, This text which I preach to-night appeals to every jorm of lite, L would not be arum seller for all the riches of the earth; for what can that man say who has been the means of ruining #0 many families, wheo | called to account for bis stowardship? Will he dare say to the Lord, “Am I my brother's keeper?” Ho shall reap as he has sowed, And then that oung libertine, who has ruined girl after girl, he will be boand in fetters of iron and thrown into the depths of hell and bis ery will be ‘l have reaped as I My God, are there any here to-night who responsibility of that reaping and not ac- onee and come to him? I hope not, lied to that awful account sooner than you thin gee this place again? Think brothers, think, before it is too late! At the conclusion of Mr. Moody's address the crowds that pressed into the inquiry rooms were unexampled, WOULDN'T HAVE THE ROPE.

Results of Investigating Committees. Bills Relating to Banks of Deposit for City Money. ALBany, March 24, 1876, Itwas generally supposed yesterday, when the Sup- ply bill was ordered to a third readimg, that we bad done with all discussion ag to its merits; but a debate | | was started on it this morning when it came up on its | final passage, to the great surprise of the Ways and Means Committee, if not of everybody else in tho House, but it had no practical result, as the bill was passed unanimously. SMALL, PRUIT OF INVESTIGATIONS. The Assembly Investigating Committee, in its re- port to the Legislature two months ago, recommendea a well considered design for reorganizing the police force of New York city. The Senate Investigating Committes recently recommended another and nearly | similar plan, the points of which were embraced in a | bill introduced by Senator Booth to-day, of which the only noticeable feature is the enlargement of the powers of the Police Board. The statesmen of the | Legistature are too full of polities to worry their minds | with any of the recommendations of either committee, 1.908: the bills will go over this session and | probably be never heard of again, These | investigations have been a costly farce to the | taxpayers and wil! hardly fall short of an expense of | $100,000 when all the billé are in, The Senate Committee was simply a republican set off to the Assembly one, and whilo the formor had only, a nose tor democratic mismanagement im the departments, the: latter saw little that was except where republican officials were concerned, WHAT DORKS THIS BILL MEAN? | pThe billto prevent the Greenwich Street Elevated Railroad from using the Battery Park passed the Senate to-day. It has been hurried through without debate | as though the city of New York had to be saved from | gome great and impending calamity. It provides that no elevated — road shail use the Battery Park or any othor public park or square in New York city. The Rapid Transit Com- missioners located the route of the projected Gilbert ele- vated road among other streets on South Filth avenue, leading directly into Washington square. ‘This bill will effectually stop their progress in that direction, and | unless they obtain a change of route, their jig is up. | | Could the street car railroad interest have desired any- | | thing better? Under the sentimental guise of saving | the rural beauty of the Battery Park from disfigure- | | ment, this bill aims a blow at rapid trausit, and, though | | ostensibly in the interest of the people, is nothing | more than a device of the street car companies to ae- | prive New York of its one greatest need. —1t 18 under- stood other bills will follow this'so as to utterly swam, | all hopes of rapid transit, * It will be curious to watch how tho Railroad Committee of the Assembly will treat hese bills, NO PEACE POR THE GOVERNOR. When the Governor's canal message was read in the Senate Mr, Jacobs moved that it be referred to the | Committee of the Whole, whereupon Mr. Woodin moved asasubstitute that so much of it as related to tho | matter of extra compensation for the Attorney General | | in the prosecution of canal suits be referred to the F | nance Committee, ‘The Governor’s stanct henchman, | Mr. Starbuck, protested, aud moved that it be mado | the special order for Tuesday in Committeo of tao | Whole. Mr. Woodin thought ho smelled a mouse, and | declared that the object of the two democratic Sena- tors was to get up a hurrah for Tilden in advance of the State Convention. Mr, Jacobs made a spirited reply, and accused Woodin of inconsis- tency in agreeing last year to refer a similiar message to the Committee of the Whole. If it was proper that the first message should go there it was equally proper that the second message should go there also, — Rogers, Harris, Bradley, Emerson and McCarthy, ook a han in, pro and con,, but Woodin’s motion tinally prevailed. LEGISLATIVE NOTES. Mr. Booth introduced a bill authorizing the Depart- ment of Parks to contract for the occupation of the buildings in the Central Park by the American Museum ol Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Also a bill empowering the Mayor and Comptroller of | New York to designate five banks to receiv the de- | posits of city money, cach agreeing to pay on the b | ances of every day’s deposits at the rate of two anda | half per cent per annum, no bank to recetve more than | $2,000,000 at a time. There is io be one ehief bank, which sail have the deposits of the sinking fund, and to which the limit of $2,000,000 shail not be applicable, ‘The Board to designate the banks shall consist of the | Mayor, Comptroller and Recorder, | “Yhe bill granting to the United States the right to ac- | quire rightof way for the improvement ot Harlem River and Spayten Duyvil Creek was reported favor- ably to the Senate, Senator Baaden’s bill relating to the district courts of New York city 18 @ condensation and statement | anew of all the acts passed defining the powers and | | duties of these courts, | | A motion of Senator Starbuck’s that Wednesday next be appointed for the consideration of the concurrent | resolution proposing an amendment to the constitu- | tion prohibiting the loan and.use of public money for | private purposes was adopted. | The Battery Park bill passed in the Senate to-day which was introduced by Mr. Booth the same day Mr. | Mulien introduced a similar bill in the Assembly, and which will be substituted by Mr. Mailen for his bill | when it comes down stairs, By this means the bill will | be pursed during the coming week. | THE CANALS, A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR ON CANAL POLICY— IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT RECOM- MENDATIONS—UNNECESSARY CONTRACTS FOR REPAIRS TO BY CLOSED—IMPROVEMENT OF THE WATERWAY. The following Message was sent to the Legislature to-day : Stats or New Yorx, Executive Cnamner, Auuany, March 24, 1876, | To THe Learsparorn:— | The result of the investigations ordered at the last , session into the work on the Erie and other canais purporting to be improvements, and known in the language of our legislation as “extraordinary repairs,” have been submitted to you. They establish these | | conclusions :— i Firgt—The expenditures for these purposes during ‘the last five years were directly about $11,000,000 and indirectly about $3,000,000, making $14,000,000, and involved a taxation amounting to nearly $15,000,000, This is mm addition to vast sums expended in former years. |” Second—Tho mass of the work for which these ox- | penditures were made was of uo reat utility to the | public, The waste in construction, whicn jurnished jobs to contractors, but was of no value to the State, | has been even larger than the illicit and fraudulent | gains. |. Third—Most of tho contracts wore obtained by the | system of unbalanced bids and other dishonest de- | vices. | ¥ourth—Much of the work was executed in violation of the contracts, and is worthless. The advantages to the Stato of the investigations have not been limited to the discovery of the particular frauds, not even to the destructiyn of a system involving & vast annual Joss to the taxpayers, demoralizing to the publ vice and corrupting (o all governmental life. Lncident- | ally, 1m arresting these practices, a fund has becn | rescued from sfoliation, out of which a real, important and valuable Improvement can be effected in the main | tranks of the canals, On the 1st of last month there | remained, a8 neatly as I can ascertain, of the funds ap- | plicable to extraordinary repairs and’ new work unap- | propriated to specific objects, $633,000; existing ap- propriations for objects not under contract, $360,000, estimated a8 hecessary to settle existing coutracts— | Erie Canal, $347,000; Champlain Canal, $30,000; Oneida | Lake Canal, $6,000; balance, after settling contracts as proposed, $300,000; sum available for new work on | Champlain Canal enlargement, $270,000; Oucida Lake, $41,000. Total, $1,604,000. bese Rs aeegsin = recommend tho enactment of laws providing tor the following measures ;— First—bmpowering and directing the al Board to Close all existing contracts for extraordinary repairs, |*except im those special cases where in the judgment of the Hoard it cannot be done without detriment to the | Interests of the State, and repealing all existing appro- | priations for extraordinary repairs, Second—Appropriating not execeding $400,000 to such payments as may be justand necessary to close existing contracts, but providing that no such appro- | priation shall become effectual mn respect to payments | On any contract anti the same shall certited by u State Engineer m writing to tho Canal Board, and alterward duly approved by the Canal Board; and viding turther that noth im any such act of ap ration shall operate be construed to jate OF recognize any contract tainted with illegal- ity or fraud, or to waive any defence of the State in respect to any contract or any right of action in the State growing out of such contract, or of work dono or required by the same; and likewise appropriating not exceeding $100,000, for the purpose of protecting | or tinishing such work asin the Judgment of the Canal | Board the interests of the State may require to be 60 | protected or finished. | Third—Appropriating «not exceeding $400,000, to be | expended with the approval of the State Engineor and uuder the direction of the Canal Board, to the im- | provement of the waterway of the Erie Usnal, with « View of giving seven feot depth of water, so far as | May be practicable, at the opening of navigation in the | present year. Appropriating not exceeding $15,000, for a survey and measurement of the waterway of t Krie Canal for the purpose of determining ite real oo dition and the plies where it specially requir improvement, aud appropriating irom tho resid of funds hitherto applicable to extraordinary repairs ou the Erie Vanal, which are now or may come | 5 into the Treasury, imciuding moneys whieh may bt withheld by the State on existing contracts, oF Fe+ covered by the State in respect to such contracts oF work under them, such sums as may be necessary ta improve the waterway of the Eric Canal toa depth of seven and a haif or eight feet at such places as may bo found moat useful or most economical. Fourth—Appropriating such proportion of the un- expended balance of former appropriations for the Shamplain Canal as may be o ‘ary to improve tho waterway of that canal. Fifth—Directing the Canal Board at the commence- ment of the next session of the Legislature to repors what, if any, specific improvements other than here- tofore mentioned are essential to the interests of the State. The advantages of improving the waterway , of the Erie Canal were discussed by imo in the annnal Messago of 1875, and again in the nual Message of 1876. In the speciat Message of Mareh 19, 1875, while showing the enor- mous outlay on the canals for alleged improvements, questioning the utility of most of the new construc hon, exposing the fraudulent devices by which con- tracts were obtained and inviting investigation as te the qnality ot the work, I still insisted on the immense Denelits at comparatively small cost of improving tha waterway in the following language:— In my judgment a far more important improvement of the Erie Canal would be effected by a thorough system of ordin- ary repairs, should give the waterway its proper and Inwful dina y progressively deopewing it, wher- ever reasonably p dle, from seven to elght feet, as tI object would be merely to enable the submerged section of the bont to move in a inter a r, 80. that the dis- Placed fluid could pass the boat in ® larger space. It would hot be necessary to alter the culverts or other structures, or to carry the wails of the canal below the present bottom, and the benetit would be realized in each portion of the eam improved wishout reference to any other part of the channel, which should remain unchanged in facilitating the mover mont of the boat and quic . lt would in; erense the amount of service rende on time, ant would thereby diminish every tof trans portation would benelit. ¢ nen and carriers cent 4 bushel lis, It would utility to nw ten times iis cust expended in’ t! wo manner o led. im- provements on the put orks, But it ix te ple, too Practically useful to enlist the imajination of projectors wha seek the fame of magnificent constructions, and of the en gineers who build monuments tor exhibition to their rivals to awakeu the rapacity of cormorants who {atten on jobs, I renew the recommendation of my annual Message upon this subject and particularly, That provision be made by law to en ple the State Engle neer soon after navigation is op to measure the depth of water in the canal by cross sect as often as every four rods of its length and on the upper and lower witresiila of euch lock. These opinions are deduced from the best engineers ing science, as applied to canal nav+’ation, and are con firmed by practical experience, In the present depresed state of business is found an increased neces sity and a favorable opportunity for going on with Uh measure, The interests of tho consumers cheap navigation, of the bowtmen und fore warders for every facility in their business, the low prices of material and the seanty employment of labor are all circumstances which conspire to do mand attention to this subject, and to make the pres ent a fit and advantageous time in which to begin the work; and I do now earnestly ask your consideration of these recommendations, which 1 regard of high pub» lic importance, Lavail myself of this opportunity ta renew the recommendation recently submitted to you, that alaw be passed conferring on the Canal Board full powers of investigation and redress of ail wrongs done to the State in respect to canal work, It seems to me quite clear that such powers ought to be visited in that body, and in every similar body in respect of tho particular occasion. I likewise renew the recom- mendation of au ample appropriation in aid of the des fence of the State against fraudulent or unjust canal contracts, and in uid of civil and criminal actions in Debalf of the State growing out of canal frauds, It 1s impossible to properly prepard such cases for trial without larger expenses than the State has hitherto been accustomed to make, The machinery of the State for such legal controversies is Very inadequate and ineffective com- parod with that of the United States governinent or any other government, and needs to be supplemented by accessory measures. In recent insiances we have seek rich and powerfut public delinquents in the courts do fending their possession of plunaer and their personal hberty by very numerous counsel, stimulated by enor mous fees exceeding many times ordinary professiona compensation. The eflect is to demand extraordinary, sacrifices of time and eflort on the part of those whe represent the people to render the litigations extremely engrossing and burdensome. The Stato will not imitate the practice of an extraordinary rate of professional com- pensation, bat not to foresee and to provide for avten= tion, eflort and aid commensurate with the necessity would be practically to abandon the assertion of the rights and the protection of the interests of the peopla against the wrongdoers. MUEL J. TILDEN, A MAGNIFICENT GIFT. COZZENS'’ HOTEL, AT WEST POINT, DONATED TO THE CONVALESCENT POOR—THE FAVOI« ITE SUMMER RESORT TO BE MADE A “HOME.” Cozzens’ Hotel, at West Point, once the scene of sa much midsummer gayety and the theatre of many a delightful flirtation, has been sold and is to be used as abome for indigent convalescents from the different hospitals of New York city. The telegraph gave the news of the sale a short time since, but nothing wag stated at tho time about the uses to which the building was to ve put, The sale of a hotel being an ordinary, almost every day occurrence, little notice wag taken of tho ‘announcement; but yesterday it was mage known that the purchaser was a well known and wealthy lady, who had bought the property with the intention of dedicating it toacharitable purpose.

Whes Luese necossary allerations are completed the property will be presented to the Governors uf the New Yori | Hospital, to be used as a home for convaiescents trou the several large metropolitan hospitais, irrespective of creed or nationality. In giving the scheme into the hands of the Governora of the New York Hospital Mrs. Osborn has been actu- ated by a desire wo afford iinmediate relief to those who are anxious to avail themselves of the charity, and also to confide the enterprise to experienced hands. The New York Hospital is one of the otd benevolent institutions in New York, having been e dowed 105 years ago by royal charity, It1s now ma Most prosperous condition, having #n annual income of $150,000, besides a largo reserve fund contingent upon donations.
