Third—Vo exercise due diligence in its own ports and waters, and, as to all persons within its jurisdic hon, to prevent any infringement of the foregoing obligations and auties, By a proviso at the close ot the articto England and the United States have not only bound themselves to the above definition of the duties of a neutral, but agreed to bring the ruleato the knowledge of other maritime nations and to invite them to accede to them, By the treaty of 1854 between Russia and the United States 't was agreed by article 1:— First—That tree ships make free goods—that is to say, that the effects or goods belonging to sub- jects or citizens of a Power or Stuto at war uro free from capturo and confiscation when found on board of neutral vessels, with the exception of articles contrabrand of war.

During tho Franco-Prussian war Licu- tenant General Sheridan and General Forsyth, of hia stuff, visited Kurope by authority of the government, and made extensive observations of the campaign ou the Gorman side; but no written report has ever been submitted by either of these officers.

Mr. MeKenz’e bas introduced a bill to amend the Independence of Parliament act, It is intended to protect agaivst pecuniary penaities those members who, through ignorance, have infringed upon the pr visions of the law, or unintentionally brought them. selves within the scope of its penal clauses. Tho bill will leave the question of qualification, therefore, ox- clusively in the hands of the House. It doos not pre: tond to make anyone a member who may, by a breach of tho law, have ceared to be a member, but relieves him of those ruinons consequences which may ensue Mt be t# sued for penaities after having unwituncly offended. The nunicrous cases which the late discus- sion has disclosed of members who have. at various times during the past ten years, received monoy from the government, without im the slightest degree in- tending to break the laws, Is a sufficient reason for auch action being taken as is contemplated, LOYALTY TO THE EMPRESS OF CANADA.

Woodin’s City Charter Passed by the Senate. [BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERATD.] Axnany, April 26, 1877. Tho reception tendered to Hon, William M. Evarts, Secretary of State, by Mr, Elliott C. Cowdin this O- ing was socially m grand success, Chiof Justice Church assisted Mr, Cowdin in recoiving the guests. All the judges of the Court of Appeals were present, several of the regents of the uni- versity, the Mayor and ex-Mayor Judson, of Albany, and most of tho lcading members of the Senate and Assembly, Hon. Erastus Corning, Chancellor Pruyn, Judge Amasa J. Parker, General R. H. Pruyn, Thoinas W. Olcott, father of the present Comptrolier; George W. Schuyler, Hon, Martin J. Townsend and Bradford R. Wood, ex-Minister to Copenhagen, were also among tho guosts present, The Secretary was in the best of spirits and chatted pieas- antly and without reserve with all wno wore presented to him, SIGNIFICANT CHARACTER OF THR ABSENTKES. ‘The most sixniticant feature of the new departure Cowdin-Evarts reception was in the number and char- actor of the absentees, None of tho State of_icers were present, and their absence has a political signiti- eance not to be misunderstood. Mr. Cowdin’s in- vitations were official in form, For instance, the Hon, John Bigelow, Secretary of Stute, of the State of New York was invited to meet Mr, Evarts, The official phraseology of these invitations iu connection with tho new departure in politice— which is undorstood here to be engineered by Mr. Evarte—induced the democratic State officers and many prominent politiciaus to absent themselves, Of course, the propricties were observed, but the indispositions and family afflictions which abound to- night can scarcely be so universal as regreis indicate. The social protest on the part of the democratic State ofctals really amounts to a formal protest against the legitimacy of the Hayes administration, which is all the more significant because mado against the leading counsel of the Prostdent before the Electoral Commis. sion and the Secretary of State of the administration, WHAT MR. EVARTS HAS LOST. ‘ Mr. Eva ppearance here as pleader in the Court of Appeals has, beyond doubt, greutly injured bim. The position taken by the HxRauv is uviversally in- dorsed, and among the leading members of the Bar hore the opinion ts universu) that Sr. Evarts’ regret. table error bas stopped all his chance of future political preferment and cast oa sori- ous reflection upon him in his character of premier of the federal administration. The brill- janoy of Mr. Cowdin’s reception cannot obscure the political significance of these fucts, and Mr, Evarte cannot fairly object to acriticism of nts course in pur- suing the doublo vovation of premier and lawyer any more than tho Iriends of Mr. A. T. Stewart could op- ject to his rejection as President Grant’s Secretary of the Treasury when he was un itporter of dry goods, THK CHARGES AGAINST ELLIS. The additional chargos against Bank Superintendent Ellis have been gonerally discussed and considerable Ditterness exbibited on both sides, The saddest feature of politics in regard to this man, who has been cleariy proven derelict to his duty, is to see the ma- jority of the Senate shielding him from removal, when not alone tho very letter of the law demands his replacement (big term of offico having expired), but the very charges themselves call ut least for a suspen- sion of sho officer, The widows and orphans who havo been robbed through this man’s dereliction of trust must whistle to the winds because, forsooth, a Senator of the State with no particular reputation to sparo says that the Governor's nomination in place of this derelict incumbent of the office of Bank Examiner shall not be confirmed, and because the nomineo is a democrat, Let the people Judge between Governor Robinson, whose character is unsmirched, and those who undertake to criticise and pass upon bis nominations. It ts altogether con- trary to American usages that mon should be allowed to remain in office alter their tering bave expired. The evil it breeds is patent to everybody. Finding them- selves holding over and sale from removal, they begin to think themselves hereditary office-bolders, and tbey kick and cavort around In a manner that amazos ail beholders. Governor Robinson has grit, and he will not be likely to cater to the tastes of the republican majority of the Senate; but the Governor should understand that bistorical examples of statesinanship are not to bo disregarded, and that the old Roman policy of divide et impera might be used with good and salutary effect in the matter of these vominations, REPUBLICANS AT VARIANCE. ‘The republicans of the Senate stand apparently os a unit to day, yetin reality there ts a broad division in their ranks. Judge Kobertson, the mild-eyed Senator from the Westchester district, 1s at daggers’ points with Woodi! Prince, of Queens, is out with both of the en mentioned, und it 18 anything but a happy family all round, Then, too, the policy of President Hayes has had its effect 1n disintegrating the party, Returning to the subject of Bank Superimtondent Ellis’ conduct in office it is enough to know that the popular interost in the savings banks demands the protection of thoge institutions from even the suspicion of irregularity. The sate deposit wages of the citizen and laborer ought to bo protected as the very ark of our political covenant, While all agree jn these general views, the application of them to the El case differs widely in Individ- ual, political ana legislative application. ‘The republicans say that Mr. Ellis’ charges are only vrought up now to break down a meritorious officer on account of the weakness of the allegations now being mvestigatead by the Senate, The extreme democrats deciaro that killis is only a sample of the republican officials in this State, and that the more his case is probed the blacker it will uppear, PUDLIC NUISANCRS, ‘There were but few now points in the legislation of thes enate to-day, The act to provide fur the restraint and abatoment of nuisances by boar if health was put upon its Onal passage, Mr. Kennaday moved to rocom- mit, with instructions to strike out the second section.

Tho Woodin Committee to-night examined Mr, Fos- ter Dewey and ex-Senator Winslow, Mr. Dewey swore that he know nothing about legislative transactions in 1870, except that he came up to seo the tun; that he had no knowledge of the meana used to pass the Tweed charter; that he camo in receipt of salaries and fees to tho amount of at lvast $15,000 per year in the spring of 1870.

The principal doubtful point ‘was about the disposition of the $20,000 deposited by him in New York on June 12, 1 It seems very singular that the investigation is so generally confined to the passage of the Tweed charter when every one knows that the corruption was to defeat the young democratic “Huckleberry.” It is sald that as the de- feat of the latter was secured in the House it is not a proper subject of inquiry by a Senate committes, but this 18 altogether too specious in view of tho ample powers of the committee and the well known practico here and in Washington to influence the House by bribing Senators and members of the House, All dodges will fail The investigation must be more than skin deep, THE TESTIMONY, w York city.
