In theChamber of Deputies the estimates for public worship were con- sidered and gave rise to an excited debate. Prince Napoleon, speaking for the first time since his elec- tion, denounced the dangerous encroachmenis of the clergy, who had exercised a disastrous tnfluence in re- cent French history, notably in 1870. Me supported a propesal for the reduction of the estimates for public worship. ‘The clericalist Deputies protested against the specch, which was couched in violent terms, Mr, Keller, legitimist, declared that the Empiro was accountable for the loss of Alsace and Lorraine, and recriminations ensued between the clericalists and the Bonaparusts, M. Gambetta, intervening, referred to the decree abolishing the Empire. ‘The Baron de Lambert, a zealous Bonapartist, there- “upon suddenly rose and shouted * Vive U’Empereur!” An indescribable uproar ensued.

A NOISY AND DEMONSTRATIVE MEETING OF DEPOSITORS—-AN ENDEAVOR TO REMOVE DE WOLY—THE MATTER STILL IN TRE HANDS OF THE DEPOSITORS’ COMMITTEE. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.} Provipesce, R. I., Nov. 24, 1876. A large number of depositors of the Franklin Institu- tion for Savings bad a very exciting meeting to-day to hear the report of the committee appointed to exam- ime the receiver's report. The committee, through Mr, W. G. R. Mowry, reported that they had bad a meeting at the bank and bad asked the receiver ques- tions which they deemed of vital interest to the de- Ppositors, but that to one very important question be declined to answer. This was in reference to what amount he had received for his services since the first year of his appointment ino answer to the. question a: to what he had to show for the money, they ascertained that he had received $2,845,587 77, of which he bad paid out $1,406,515 31 to depositors, which did not include his salary, $8,500, nor nis expenses, and which would bring the sum paid out to $1,425,214 40 When spoken to im regard to the two and a balf per ceut ebarged for collections, he said that he was willing to withdraw this claim and allow the Court to say what percentage he should have, Mr, Mowry, in conclusion, suid that it looked to him as if De Wolf meant to get rich out of the bank whether depositors got anything or not, and as if he were going to squeeze the last cent out ol them, & In reply to a question from a depositor Mowry said | the depositors were entitied to their share of $175,000, aller the expenses were paid, and that if the $84,000 juterest which the Spragues offered to pay, providing the Suits brougat by the receiver against them were with- drawn, (bey would get neariy all the principal and their interest would come out of that sum, 4 PROPOSITION TO REMOVE THR RECKIVER, Quite a sensation was occasioned when James H. Tower moved tbat the committee be authorized to undertake proceedings for the removal of De Wolf on the grounus o1 the exorbitant charges and the ex- pebolve management of the receivership. This Drought out a few triends of De Wolt, Mr. Christopher Kovinson thought the Supreme Court Would seo that justice was done, and tuat us argaments were to bo heard belore the Master ia Cuancery next Tuesday wt would be expedient to wait until tuen betore aking any measure to remove him, Mr. Hezekian Olney thought 11 was for the best int ests of all concerned to have some one else appointed. ix-Governor Hoppin said De Wolf got to stand, or fail by bis record, and that his ‘acter Was ut stake, He considered the matter safe in the hands of the Master in Chancery and the Supreme Court, and thought nu gvod would come of ousting the receiver. The interests of the depositors were sate, but in uis opinion Do Wolf had assumed responsibilities in bring- ing suits against the Spragues, which he had no busines tw do, strictly epeaking. Alter praising De Woif for his discretion upon several occasions in the manuge- ment of the funds of the bank, he concluded vy saying that he wanted him tried by the proper tribunal. J. W. Davis, one of the depositors’ committee, said the committee deemed it advisable to petition the Court to order the receiver to make a report up to the Present time, tn order that the committee could act more inteligenty. In order to allow a depositor to make a motion to carry out this suggestion the mover of the resolution to have the receiver removed was requested to with- draw his motion, which, however, he declined to do, Mr. stephon A, Cooke said that as the accounis of the receiver were not compicted he should not be re- moved, as such action would create suspicions that bo had been removed on that account aloue, He thougnt that il the committee were requested to appiy io hin | for permission to examine the accounts auwn to the present.time he would allow them to do so, and he made & motion-to this effect. Mr. J. W. Davis, of the committeo, said they had asked permission abd were positively refused, his (De Wolt’s) reason being thatil he allowed them to ex- amine hie accounts it would be used by bis enemies to bis disadvantuge. A FRIEND OF THE RECRIVER. Joseph T. Snow took a decided stand {no favor of De Woif and toore was a strong disposition not to bear him, and in consequence of which thero was great contusion.

He was upposed to his exorbitant charges, but was willing |. to abide the decision of the courts Mr. Robinson, of the committee, gave an esti of ume ani e: pears necessary to secure the action tended in Mr. Tower's motion, and in view of this f ne depositors voted to let the matter of the remo drop for the present, and it was finally decided that the whole matter be loft in the hands of the depositors’ commiitee, to report at an adjourned meeting. THE STATE FINANCES, BESUME OF COMPTROLLER ROBINSON'S FINAN- CIAL RBEPORT—THE VERY HEAVY REDUC- TIONS—AN UNSATISFACTORY CONDITION OF THE PRISONS. ALBANY, Nov. 24, 1876, Comptroller Robinson has been engaged so steadily upon his report of the financial condition of the State that the tables bave been completed in great part, and be has already at hand the most important portion of the data upon which he will form his suggestions and recommendations to the Legislature. So far ashe is able to say at present these suggestions and recommendations will be neither very numerous nor very important. They will refer chiefly to tho general tenor of the financial sbowing. As he studies the tables, however, bo may change this idea and be more succinct in his criticisms; but he isof the opinion now that tho weightiest matters in reference to the finances will come more fitlyin his first annual Message, The Preparation of tho various tables to accompany tho report has devolved upon Mr. Henry Gallien, the Sec- ‘ond Deputy Comptroller, who has been connected with the Comptro!lcr’s office fer many years, and has acted as i Deputy sinco the rewrement of Philip Phelps in Among the most interesting exhibits shown by these tables it will appear that the State debt has been reduced during the year which ended September 30 over $5,000,000, The reduction last year amounted to only $1,570,770. That euch avy payment has not in any way encroached upon the necessary curre penditures of the yoverument is shown by numerous other tables which will be presented. The geveral revenue fund, which reprosenia the *‘big money bag, tn which all the small money bags are contained,’ will show an actual surplus amounting to moro than $700,000, a condition of affairs hitherto 4 in the fMnancial history of the State, jiways been shor hereto- a large deficiency havin, fore when a balance wi State govern. in the general Jund und bears its part in the tion next year. The exhibits third mill tax of last year, for the extinguishment of the bounty debt, which matures in April, 1877, will, with the balance ol securities in the bounty dobt sink- ing fund, be amply sutticient for the purpose. The contingent debt of the State, wuieh is comprised in a Joan of its credit to the Long Island Railroad in 1840, pes er te of $100,000, w:il also be tully extin- guia The accounts ot the prisons will probably make the most unsatisfaciory showing in the forthcoming re- port. The expenditures have been larger than ever ve- fore, exceeding $700,000, and the deficiency will bo largely increased. The passage of the prison smend- ments seems to have been very timely. The expen- ditures on public buildings have also been very great, aggregating $1,750,000 on the new bang nt the aryl at Ovid, Pe keepsie, Buffalo, iddletown, 1 House of Retuge at Rochester and the Relormatory at Elmira. A portion of this amount includes the unex- pended appropriations of 1875, A CONVICT PARDONED. GLOVER, THE CONVICTED ROBBER OF THE BOSTON BOYLSTON BANK PARDONED BY THE GOVERNOR—HIS LIBERATION YESTERDAY, [BY TELEGRAPH 10 THE HERALD. ] Bostox, Nov. 24, 1876, William Glover, sentenced to the Massachusetts State Prison March 31, 1874, for twelve years, for breaking, entering and stealing from the Boylston Bank, in Boston, was this afternoon pardoned by the Governor and Council. Two lady friends of the con- viet visited the prison at noon and waited till about half-past one, when Glover stepped from tho ngrth wing into the octagon and was cordially weleomed by his two female triends, who have been instrumental in obtaining his pardoa, which, it is said, was granted on account of the fact of his innocence being established. Glover was convicted of being an accessory before tho fact in rotation to the robbery. Judson, who was the principal im the robbery, 18 still a convict in the prisoo.

WASHINGTON. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasnixatox, Nov. 24, 1876 MEETING OF THE CABINET—THE POSSIBILITY OF TROUBLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA ON THE ASSEMBLING OF THE LEGISLATURE CON- SIDERED—PRESIDENT GRANT TO SUPPORT GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN. The critical situation of affairs in South Carolina was the subject of a large portion of the discussion at the meeting of the Cabinet this afternoon, which was at- tended by a tull representation of the heads of the several executive departments, Information was laid before the meeting that in all likelihood two distinct legislative bodies will meet at Columbia next week, each one of which will proceed to inaugurate a Governor. Tho republican members of the Legislature to whom certificates of election have been issued by the Board of Canvassers will constitute one body, and will inaugurate Chamber- lain, while the democratic members who have received certificates, together with tho democratic members from the Laurens and Edgefield districts which were thrown out by the republican Boara of Can- vassers, will, it is conjectured, meet and inaugurate Hampton. The subject was alluded to in the Cabinet meeting to-day, and the fear expressed that trouble would grow out of the com- Plication of affairs. With the trouble all prospective, and in the absence of any requisition from the Gov- ernor of South Carolina asking the protection of the federal government against domestic violence, no new policy was decided upon, It was understood, how- over, that the relative attitude of Governor Chamber- Jain and the President had not changed, and 1t would remain as it is at present, and that the President would exercise in behalf of the Governor the good offices which he extended last mouth, when the peave of South Carolina got beyond the control of its Executive and needed federal interference for its preservation, The Cabinet then passed to lighter matters, like a banqueting party eutering upon dessert, and a good deal of merriment was induiged in at the expense of the Chairman of the National Republican Commitee, whose exploit in suspending and holaing a mammoth elephant on the verge of a yawning abyss, as depictea in an illustrated paper which was handed around tho table, was conceded to be an expressive simile of Mr. Chandler’s gigantic eflorts to save the republican party from the fatality of losing the electoral votes of the three disputed States, This was all that was done im Cabinet concerming the affairs of South Carolina; but the public need not be surprised to learn that the President, in the exercise of nis right to order United States troops whither he pleases, will strengthon the force now at Columbia, which comprises some thirteen companies; indeed, a news despatch received here this afternoon says that seven companies had already arrived at Columbia this morning, All this would indicate that the government is determined to have a considerable force of United States troops in and about Columbia, enough, it is believed, to sup- Press any disturbance which may arise on the occa- sion of the expected moeting of the two Legislatures and the inauguration of tho two Governors next week. The Chamberlain Legislature will be supported by the federal goveroment, In any event a great political commotion in Columbia seems inevitable, THE ADDITIONAL TROOPS. Of the additional force of military ordered to Wash- ington it is now thought that littlo if any of it will consist of cavalry and that almost all of it will be infantry, It is belicved that 1t will bo made up of the ten com- panies of tho Eighteenth regiment and a battalion of the Third regiment—sixteen companies in all, The light battery under command of Captain Ramsey, of the Second artillery, comprising four three- inch rifles, now stationed at Fort McHenry, will come here as soon as stables are completed for the horses. The battery will march from Itimore to Washington, instead of coming by rail, id will make the distance in two days, The detach- ment of the Third infantry, referred to above, will probably take a transport at Jackson barracks, three miles below New Orleans, and come all the way by water. ONE OF THE OFFICERS OF THE NAVY INTER- VIEWED AS TO RECENT NAVAL MOVEMENTS, An official of the Navy Department was closely questioned to-day as tothe destination of the moni- tors Montauk, Passaic and Wyandotte, which, several days ago, dropped down to Hampton Koads from the Norfolk Navy Yard. These ve: had been for nearly six months lying that yard, manned by only a few officers and men, whe had kept them ina thorough condition and ready for sea at any time upon the addition of afew men to each, The official promptly said he didn’t know where they were going, but that they would probably go to West Point, Va., on the York River, to lay up in fresh water for three or four months, to get their copper cleaned off. Ho was immediately asked why, if that was all that was meant, they were taken out of the Elizabeth River, whose juniper water 1s well adapted for tho purpose. Ho said be didn’t know. The questioner was not satisfied and wanted to know why a commander was ordered to the Passaicgwhile the other vessels remained in command of hheutenants, and the leutenant who commanded the Passatc was relievea from command, but still re- tained on board. Ho said it was probably because it was better to ha officer of that rank in command if the station was established at West Point. He was asked why the monitors were not sent to tho League Island Navy Yard, where they all bad been lying before being fitied out, und which would save tho expense of & separate ni tation. He said they might pursibiy go there, but he couldn’t say anything about !t. “Now, Commodore,” he was asked, ‘are they not coming to Washington, and will they not arrive some time next week ?”” “Weil,”’ he answered, “they may probably come here, but they have not been ordered yet. They were ordered to drop down to Hampton Hoads to seo if tho engines would work all right, and we have no vessels at hand yet to tow them up the river, and we didu't think the nowspiper men would get hola of it so quickly. There, 1’m not going to talk to you any more about it.’” AN INTERVIEW WITH ALEXANDER H. STEVENS, Mr. Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, arrived in Washington this morning, looking better that be did daring the Forty-third Congress, He has gained about ten pounds since June just, when his general health began to improve. He occupies his old quarters at the National Hotel, and is attended by two colored ser. vants, ono of whom—Harry—has acted in the capacity of body servant to Mr. Stephens for many years. Notwithstanding his improved aprearance he is still a great sufferer {rom what bis physicians term pelvic neuralgia, which ut times occasions bim intense pain. His right foot is considerably swollon and his leit leg bas been shortened, by two inches being drawn upatthe pip. He is no longer able to rise from his chair without assistance. After being assisted to ariso be can walk about the room with tho aid of his crutches, For months beiore leaving his home near Crawiordsville he made it his practice to walk three or four miles about his plantation daily. His rooms were to-day thronged with people who camo to pay their respects, With reference to bis Jast election to Con- gress he said that there was no organized opposition on the part of the republicans. About 1,100 votes were cast for a colored man whose name was not announced until election day. “Senator Morton,” said be, ‘will probably havesome- thing to say about the falling off of the republican vote in my district. I read in a newspaper the other day that a republican stump speaker said that in a certain county in Georgia which in 1873 gave «6800 republican majority but three republicum votes were cast this year. I conclude that he refors to Wilkes county in my di trict, This matter ts easily explained, the colored people generally adopted me as their candidate and voted forme. ‘Why,’’ continued Mr, Stephens, “the night before I left for Washington a large number of colored people serenaded me, singing good old- fashioned hymns, and at the depot when I left no less than 200 negrucs bade me good>y. It is strange that tho feeling vetween the whites and biacks in the South is not better understood”? Mr. Stephens said he deemed it improper as a rep- resentative in Cougress to express any opinion in ad- Vanco as to the action of that bouy im relation to the Presidential question, bus he did not hesitate to ex- Press a belie! that the coming sersiou will be an exceptionally important one. Ho deprecates any ex- citement, ond believes it to be the duty of every one to do all iu their power to provent anytoing like turbu- lence and disorder, For one he will use his best en- deavors to encourage a spirit of moderation and ade ire to see thas the decision is in accordance with the pirit of the constitution and the laws, AMUSEMENTS. STEINWAY HALL—ESSIPOFF. Mme. Essipoff, the Russian pisnist, appeared last | Right for the seventh time at Steinway Hail ina mis- | cellaneous programme, consisting of Schumann “Carnival,” Billow’s “Intermezzo,” ‘Chant Polonais, by Cnopin, brought down to piano form by Lisz! Schubert's “Alexander March,” similurly . treated by Tausig, and a nocturne by John Field. Mr. Vivien played Leonard’s tourth concerto for violin superbly, and Mr. Dulcken, the piano accompanist, did much in the work toward waking up for the absence of the orchestra. Mrs. Louise Oliver, the Vocalist on this occasion, sang charmingly. But, of course, people go to those concerts, principally, to hear Essipoff, and she is the sole attraction. artists on the piano can make a success in Scau- mann’s “Carnival,” It is a kaleidoscope of tone. “Scenes Migvonnes’’ 1s the title the composer gives it, and being only his ninth work, the characteristics of the maestro’s style of writing, are not revealed in it Yet here the difficulties thicken around the interpreter of such music. The prosrumme —Carnival— Scenes mignonnes opus 9—Preambule, (quasi maes- toso); Pierrot, (moderato); Arlequin, (vive); Val Boble, (un poco maestoso); Eusebius, (Adagio); Papil- long, (prestissimo); Lettres dansantes, (presto); Chiar- ipa, (passiouato); Chopin, (agitate); Estrella, (con affetto); Reconnaissance, (Animato); Pantalon et Colombine, (presto); Valse allemande, (molto vivace); Paganini, (presto); Aveu, (passionaio); Promenade, (commodo); Pause, (vivo); Marche des Davidsbindler contre les Philistius, (non allegro). Those little works en masse—for thoy are opposite in character as are the musks at a Liederkranz ball—wiil sound ridiculous beneath the fingers of an ordivary pianist Scou- mann says (hat this carnival “originated im an earnest frame of mind and under peculiar circumstances.” His annotators suy that he wished to photograph on the piano certain composers, «The characters, o1 course, are typical They are shorestan, Eusebius, Chopin, Chiarina (Ciara Wieck), Estroila (Ernestine) and Paganini, awong whom glide the typicui masqueraders Herrot, Harlequin, Pantaioon and Columbine. In “ibe Papilions” and the march oft *Dayia's Allies Against the Philistines,’ we have before us equally signiticant reminiscences of the artist’s life, while his other pieces—we will contine ourselves to the tties—such as ‘Prd. ambule,” *‘Avou,”’ “Coquette,’’ “Replique,” Lettres Promenade,’ Reconnaissance,” &c., sidered as supplements to tue Whole, con- , and proceeding from the iree play of fancy. In Kiindworth's edition he says oi the work, “sur quatres notes.” bxplanatory of this we may quote from a letter from the composer to Moschelies about forty years ago:—"This was almost all written for a special purpose; and all but three or four move- ments are built upon the notes A, 3, C, H, which form the name of @ litle Bohemian town, where | have a musical friend, and which curiously enough happen to be the only musical letters in my name. 1 composed the titles afterward, Is not music self-suilicient?

The whole nas no aristic value, the different soul-states vnly are interesting to me.’’ The severe criticism of the composer on his own work has act been borne out by tho experience of later musical judgment, The forms of the separate pieces may be insiguificant, but their musieal construc. tion is perfectly clear and transparent, Jobn Field, pupil of Clement, aud yet in his nocturues go tender and poetical, found a churming mterpreter in Mme.

Intense excitement was manifested at Barnum’s Circus last evening, when Mr. Charles Fish, arrayed in white tights and silken sash, leaped upon his noble Arabian courscr and urged him around the ring. The event was one of importance. Mr, Fish had been challenged by the great Brazilian rider, Lowando, tor the championship of the world in ‘bareback’, riding, and he was required tu do his utmost to retain the glory he had won. Away went the horse and with him went Mr. Fish, Jobn Gilpin himself never dreamed of such a ride. Now the rider was on tho head of his horse and then on his tail; now be stood on one foot and again ap: peared to stand on none. Lowande was not less re- markable ior his grace and daring. He seemed a part of the steed he rode, and excelied the endurance of Mazeppa himself Away! away! wont the vold riders in their turns, and sometimes their overturns, till the eye was dazzled with the rapidity of their motion, and all the oruinary ideas of gravitation were bapished, Each tried to outdo the other, but in vain.
