se NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, 7 APRIL 1, 1876, —TRIPLE SHKET. all Senators who wéild not approve of it; the driving away of herman from Washing- ton so that Belknap ind his gang could zob the soldiers on the Plains; the transfer of the credit of tie government to London, where it might bolster up ® couple of worthless and sinking banking firms who wee trying to run a banking house on ‘‘cheek” instead of capital. Then came the French arms scandal, the use of money to carry elections in the North and of force to carry elections in the South. So from step to step we have had one kind of scandal after another until we reach the climax in the exposure of the crimes of Belknap and the maladministra- tion of Robeson. Altogether the administration has become 8o low and so vulgar, so marked with par- tisan sims, so much a personal machine, that the country turns from it in despair. But where can it seek refuge? This talk of third parties will amount to nothing. Third parties will never grow beyond their founders. We can imagine a third party in France or in some Shaker community, or in heaven, perhaps, if we are to have politics in a future life. But there is no field for any such a contrivance with usas we do things now. We must educate the democratic party up to the point of win- ning by courage and conservatism. We must unite the country against the wrongs and follies of the men who revel in the ad- ministration, and to whom the government is a grand spree, like what we used to hear about in military life on the Plains in the older days. Tae Mississrrrr Invesrication is to be made. Previous to the passage of the reso- lution by the Senate yesterday Mr. Bruce, the colored Senator from Mississippi, made so strong a statement of the outrages alleged to have been committed in that State, that Mr. Key, the new Senator from Tennessee, de- clared his purpose to vote for the resolution, even while disbelieving the allegations. In- quiry can do no harm, and if the colored people of Mississippi have been disfranchised or intimidated the fact ought to be estab- \ished. Aw Important Question is agitating the Philadelphia mind, and an astonished world will stop to consider it. This grave question is nothing less than the determination of the proposition, Where was the Declaration of Independence really written ? Old-fashioned people thought it was framed at No. 700 Market street, but it now turns out that Jefferson's lodging was at No. 702. All this is very important, and we are not surprised that the Centennial city is agitated over it. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Gladstone has rented Lyell’s old house.

The President of the Province of Pernambuco, at- tended by the municipal authorities and.accom- panied by many officers, military and naval, came immediately on board the Hevelius to pay their re- spects and renew their professions of fealty to the sovereign. GRACEFUL TRIBUTE. Very many presents of fruits and flowers were of- fered to the Empress and accepted. CITIZEN DISAPPOINTMENT. The citizens of Pernambuco were vastly disap- Pointed atthe fact that the members of the royal party did not land. A grand breakfast had been prepared at the palace of the President. The ladies were robed in the most brilliant dresses and the Piers were crowded with people of every class, all expectant of the great event of a landing. A GORGROUS SCRNE. The ships in the harbor were gayly decorated with flags in honor of the royal presence pre- vious to the departure of the Emperor from the country.

SEXTON FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP | OF THE WORLD—VIGNAUX WINS BY A SCORE or 600 To 459—GREAT EXCITEMENT AMONG ‘THE FRENCH AND AMERICAN SPECTATORS, [SPRCIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] Pants, March 31, 1876. The great billiard match between Maurice Vignaux, of Toulouse, and William Sexton, of New York, for the three-bail championship of the worid, astake of $1,000 and the international silver cup, came off to-night at the Grand Hotel, and resuited in victory for Vignaux by a score of 600 to 459, ‘The game was witnessed by a large gathering of professionals and amateurs, many of them from Lon- | don and the provinces. THE TERMS. ‘The terms were 600 points up, three balls, measur- ing 2°j, on a five by ten standard American carrom table. INTENSE EXCITEMENT. During the progress of the game the greatest ex- French and American spectators, and continued to one o'clock, When the game terminated. THE WINNER AND PLAY. The match was won in 31 innings, making Vig- naux’s average 19 11-31. Sexton made an average of 14 25-31. THE RESULT IN NEW YORK—POO!L SELLING ON THE EVENT. Since William Sexton satied for Europe, a month Dut the wonderful display of skill made by Vignsux and the many victories he scored on his visit to America made him the favorite in the pool boxes. A ‘week ago the odds were 100 to 65 and thereabouts; bat last might and night before Sexton brought 90 against 100 on Vignaux, the highest figure at which he sold. Large crowds were gathered in the largor saloons throughout the city waiting for the click of victory ur defeat, The result leaves the emblematic Challengo Cup in France, and the general opinion is it willbe a hard matter to find any one able to bring it back to America, SKETCH OF MAURICE VIGNAUX. Maurice Vignaux was born in a small town near Toulouse, and is about thirty years of age. He is a large, finely developed man, and bas the advantage of most players in being able to reach any portion of the table without using a bridge. He was not known in Paris untit after his victory here in the national tour- Rament of 1874, when ho won the championship, Francois Ubassy met him while travelling in France, and came with him to America under the impression that he could outplay any of the professionals he had himself encountered with but poor success. Ubassy was not wrong in his opinion, as Vignaux’s many victories afterward proved. He entered the tournament and took away the Challenge Cup and first money. Cyrille Dion shortly after made s match with him for $500 a side, avd was defeated. Joseph Dion next tried his hand on him for $1,000 a side and the Challenge Cup, and was also beaten, Rudolphe then came forward, but was vanquished im turn, Cyrille Dion played him again for $1,000 a side and was again defeated. Vignaux then returned to France, taking with him the cup which is emblematical of the three-ball championship of the world. He was once defeated by Garnier in a match game, Vignaux isa brilliant player, but not capable of fine “pursing,” on which most players rely for largo runs, His strength lies in wonderiul draw shots, on which he depends for bringing the balls into position, He makes the most diMfcult massé shots with perfect ease, and never seems anxious to hold the balls to- gether. Vignaux is coming over in May, to be in time for the tournament in Philadelphia. SKETCH OF WILLIAM SEXTON, In the tournament of last year Mr, Sexton first came into public notice, Belore that time he played several matches and won thom against some of tho leading experts, but he was considered too young and inexperienced to encounter such old and tried profes- sionals as he met with in November last, He suc- ceeded, however, in making a tio with Garnier for third place, and also scored the largest run. Ho has improved steadily in his game sinco then, as his victory over George Slosson a short time ago shows. He 1s quite a young man, the youngest, in fact, among them all, and his voyage abroad to bring home with him tne emblem of the championship is evidence of his pluck. He is of a slim build, with a pale complexion, and his face will never tell of victory or defeat. The style of his game is tho vory opposite ofhis opponent’s, His forte is in “nursing’’ the balls, whico he does with wonderful delicacy and care. Liko Vignauz, he is strong at tho massé shot, but relics more on the cushions to bring the balls into place, He will return in a few weeks, and take part in the Centen- nial tournament. FRANCE, LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS ANNULLED—THE STATE OF SIEGE TO BE ABOLISHED. Panis, March 31, 1876, In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the election of M. De la Rochejaquelein, legitimist, was annulled by a vote of 223 to 216, Areport was read recommending the annulment of citement and enthusiasm were manifested by the } the election of the Dac do Feltre, Bonapartist, on ac- count of corruption.

PRESS OPINION OF THE TITLES BILI—A WARN- ING TO THE PREMIER—SOUTH AMERICAN STOCKS—WHAT IS THE REASON OF THE PALL?—SCANDAL ON 'CHANGE, Loxpox, March 31, 1876, The 7imes this morning hopes that the Ministry may yot be botter advised than persist in recommending to the Queen the assumption of the title of Empress of India. It declares it has been unfeignedly alarmea by the rapid decline in the authority and reputation of the government since the beginning of the session. It doos not pretend to any special affection forthe Ministry, bat 1t cannot help seeing that the opposition is thoroughly disorganized; that tho energies of its older members are exhausted, while the younger men are chiefly remarkable for immaturity of mind which threatens never to ripen, and the attempt to form a government out of such materials would threaten mis- chief to the country. Even those who think its fears fanciful and overstrained must hesitate to press this new title forward when they understand it doos in fact provoke discontent. , SOUTH AMERICAN SECURITIES—PINANCIAL MANIPULATION, The Times to-day, in its financial article, calls atten- tion to the fact that while on Thursday there was en apparent collapse in the small loans of the Argentino provinces of Santa Fé and Entre Rios, which had both been quoted at above par during March, and on Mon- day were 90 and 85, but on Thursday both closed at 50, the official Stock Exchange sheet does not show a single transaction, Tho Times thinks the Stock Exchange owes the pub- lic some explanation of how the prices were sustained abovo par, and why they now have dropped without apparently a solitary bargain being effected.

BREADSTUFFS—SUPPLY AND DEMAND AT HOME AND ON THR CONTINENT. Loxpox, March 31—Evening, ‘The corn trade has relapeed into the languor which ebaracterized st during the first two months of the year. The recent advance in the value of wheat, flour and barley was ecareely supported on the leading ex- changes yesterday. At Manchoster there was a de- cline of a shilling per quarter on foreign wheat, but English fully maintamed previous prices, Last week’s grain arrivals from abroad showed a slight increase on the preceding week.

The Imports of wheat were 181,072 quarters; maize, | 176,101 quarters, and flour, 33,513 sacka, The home supplies were rather small, viz :—Wheat, 41,416 quarters; barley, 30,679 quarters, and oats, 3,205 | quarters.

Millers, having previously purchased wheat toa fair oxtent, are disinclined to operate except at some reduction in foreign. Growers, on the contrary, are stiffin their demands. Prices in the agricaltural districts are fully supported.

Loxpox, April 1, 1876.

There {s but little to add to the previous despatches relating to the Worcester dam disaster, The flood did no material damage below South Worcester, Tho valley of tho Blackstone River was not harmed. The losses, in part, are estimated as follows :— The city of Worcester, dam and reservoir, bi sides the summer's supply of water. George W. Olney’s bouse and barn... washed out; one 500 feet, the other 80 feet Curtis & Marblo, on mill......... The Wicks Manufacturing Company * fTno city of Worcester also loses largely, perhaps $15,000, by damage to highways beside tho damage by the failing of mills, Nearly every dam is destroyed.

At the first { double arch the piers are gone, but the abutments are left. Thore is a hole about sixty fect long at the next arch. ‘Tho stone works are halt gone and ruined. The north halt of the arch will bo blown out, Thero is a hole 100 tect long and forty teot deep at tho first cross- ing beyond the sreh. Thence to Janesville the track ts ruitied, and tho ballast gone. Thero are three-quar- tors of a mile of displaced tron, The Janosville depot and treight house are all right, but the arch and cul- whats gone, leaving an opening 300 fect long by ten Jeet ace Tho track referred to in the foregoing despatch as ruined, is about five miles west of Worcester, and shuts off all connection beyond that point by the main line, Local traffic between Boston and Worcester is not in- terrupted, but the Springfield, Albany and New York passengers aro taken from Worcester to Wincher- don, and thence to Palmer by way ot Ware River Valley Railroad, where they connect again with the main track of ‘the Boston and Albany Railroad. No through trains from New York, Albany or Springfield have come in sinco twenty minutes to six yesterday, and the regular five o'clock and half-past eight New York and Albany trains wore not despatched from Boston this morning.

Bostox, March 31, 1876, The damage caused by tho late freshet at Concord, Mass., is considerably greater than the first reports indicated. The principal scene of destruction is at the dam of Smith’s factory, a’ West Vale. Woodsheds and small buildings were swept away, and dwelling houses were undermined and swept off their founda- tions, Three houses were destroyed, The loss here is estimated at about $5,000. Further up the stream, near the powder mills in Acton, a stone culvert bridge ‘was washed away, rendering the road impassible, ana above this there was a still hoavier wash across tho | road, which will requiro 1,000 loads of gravel to repair. A great portion of the road below the village 1s still | under water, MISSISSIPPI REPUBLICANS, RESULT OF THE STATE CONVENTION—AN UN- INSTRUCTED DELEGATION TO CINCINNATI-- MORTON NOT A FAVORITE—ACTION OF THE COLORED MEN.
