Bpecial dispatch to The Bee. Wasgrsorox, December 9—10 p. —The snnouncement from Parls that Secratary of the Navy Thompson had accopted the chairmanship of the Amercan branch of the Panama Canal company, is, to say the least, prem ture. The secreta: position has not been tendered to him. He says a prominent party con- uected with the scheme in this coun- try, has made it known to him that J%m|the chairmanship of the American branch of the eompany would bo ten- dered to him, but the tender has not yet been made. Therefore, he is not prepared to say what he shall doin the premises. If he accepts it will throw him out of the Indiana'sena- torial race. The chairmanship would andoubtedly be a life p an enormous salary. The same placo was offered to Gen. Grant, but he could not acoept it for the reason that he dld not wish to place himself in an antagonistic attitade toward the pol- fey of his government on ‘the canal question. THE PENNSYLVANIA SENATORSHIP. hone, of Virginis, is not the only doubtful thingin connection with the next senate. The report now is that James 0. Flood, the richest, next to Mackey, of all the money operators on the ~Pacific coast, has aspirations for the United States senate. No- ‘body in Calitornia knows what Flood’s politics are. Ho has sometimes given liberally to one party, sud sometimes toanother. It in now sald that he has proposed that they shall make him their nominee, and the legisla- tare belu)::’ :'lum he :w:: (as the re] ) use of money wpfl:::fi;-,u his election His caseis much like his_partner, Fair's, in vada. Fair is not & democrat, though he will be elected by demo- oraict votes. Nobody doubts his use Nevada legislature. Indeed it is well known that the coin is essontial in that state for almost auy. purpose, The republicsns_in California are somewhat divided, bat all accounts from that state, including members and other persons of intel- ligence and prominence, concede the election of Gen. Jokn J. Millar. Ho is a very rich man, snd went to California jafter the war, from* Indi- ana. He was a very brave officer in the war, and had one of his eyes shot out in battle. He has been collector of the port of San Francisco, is a law- yerand an eloquent speaker. Ho is universally respected for his ability sad moral character. He is at pres- ent the president of the Alaska Fur company, and.a heavy dealer in min- ingstocks. A letter received here by sags that the | former officer in one of the bonanza firms’ companies from Mr. Fair, dated at Virginia City, says that he, having % up the pins 80 as to elect himself, is not really indifferont as to senatori- al honors, but that he will come here and do his verv best for his state. Fair is » man who will attend to his business, and the newspapers will hot be able to say of him, as they can truthfully say of Sharon, that he has not, during his six years' term In the senate, occupled his seat for six con- ion, and at | gecvtive days, and not thirty days al- together.

Gow as leading the contest. Yet, in theevent of any combinations that for the ex-speaker, he thought his suc- cessor would probably be Hon. Thos. Bayne, now representing the M. Twenty-third Pennsylvania district i, eongress. (When reminded that it had been rumored here for some days that Gov. Hoyt wss developing much strength in the dircction of the sena- torship, he replied he did not think the governor would enter the contest atall, as the Iuformation received from Harrishurg yesterday indicated such a determinination. CONTESTED SEATS. No report has yet been made in the celebrated Donnell-Washburn Minne- sota contest. A majority of the com- mittee is in favor of &Vashburn, the sitting member. In the case of Yates va. Martin, of the First North Caro- jual | lina district, no report has been made by the committee. The case has been considered, and a majority are in favor of Yates, the contestant. There is aleo a contest in the Second North Carolina_district, represented by Ketchem O'Hare. The contestant has ot presented sufficient evidence to convince the committse of the jus- tice of his claim, and it will prol bly never be acted upon. The eri- dence in the contest of Mackey against 0'Connor, of the Second South Caro- lina district, has just been printed. The committee has notified Mackey to file his brief. It is likely there will be two reports in the case, the majority report favoring the sitting ‘member. THE JOINT CAUCUS. The republican representatives and senators, in joint caucus last night, decided unavimously to oppose the Morgaa rale by every parlismentsry ‘There was some difference of opinion in the caucus held Wednes- day right by republican representa- tives on the question of filibustering to defeat the Morgan resolution. The exponents of the extreme thory were in & small minority, and they did not seem to be very firmly grounded in thelr suggestions for conservative actlon. The fact that there was a dif- ference of opinion, however, led to the call for » jolut ocauous. Befl::l}lnlnc n‘:de s 8 elicl applause. 1t was ar; et i Eialwart n bo0n ter_ criticising the resolution, he spoke of theold twenty-second jolnt rale, which had been cited by the democrats asa precedent for a mew rule, which they now proj to enact. Mr. Blaine denied that the old twenty-second joint rule was a precedent for anythine. He claimed that the rule was rendered extinct, and disposed of as a precedent by the creation of the electoral commission— a tribunal In the creation of which both democrats and republicans had a hand. He mentioned that the pro- posed rule was dangerous, because it gress should not have power to electa president. ‘The Poncas—Judge Dundy’s Decision. Washington Specia to The St. Louis Republican The decision of Judge Dundy In the case of the Poncas against the Sioux is somewhat of a curiosity in legal literature. The suit was brought against the Sioux for certaln lands and islands lying within the state of Nebrasks, and judgment was given in favor of the Poncas and ousting the Slonx. The latter did not defend, £ | not kaowlng In fast that they wers sued. Process was served on Spotted Tail last summer, but he did not read it, but threw it on the ground, saying he knew nothing about it. The goveroment was oot a party to the suit and no one .ppeared against the counsel for the Poncas. The result was that judgment weni by default, but it now turns out that action was ‘brought out for lands never held or claimed by the defendsnt Sioux. When the reservation of the lstter was set apart these islands within Ne- ‘brasks mmnuxcé:ld.d;d It :;-;up- posed longed to the Pon- cas. eof ial treaty, ziving them the islands, and nobody has the alightest objection to them having what some persons have deemed it necessary for them to sue for Something About Senatorshipe ‘Washington Specia to the Glove-Democrat.

Carfield as senator-elect from Ohloarestill among the archives of the senate. It is ex- pected though, that within a day or two Gen, Garfield will, by letter, re- quest the vice president to return the same to him, 8o that he may return them, through the governor of Ohio, to the legislature. On returniog the credentials,the general wlil alao trane- nit a letter declining the senatorial offide to which he has been elected. SENATE. Wasmsaroy, December 8.—No ‘business of importance was transacted this morning. On motion of Mr. Davis (IlL) it was ordered that when the senata ad- journed to-day, it be to -meet on Monday. After the presentstion of petitions and the reference of & few bills, the senate proceeded to the husiness on the crlendar under the Anthony rulee. The chair laid before the senate a communication from the secretary of war in relation to the purchase of the papers of the late rebel Generals Bragg and Polk. The price asked is $10,000, and the secretary raises the queation whether contributions from unfon officers, that had been gratul- tously contributed, should be made in favor of ex-confederate officers. The communication was sent to the com- mitteo on military affairs. Mr. Withera introduced s bill for the termination of penslon claims againat the United States. Referred to the committee on pensions. Mr. Garland offered a resolution in- structing the military commiitee to inquire into the condition of the government property at Little Rook, Ark. Adopts Mr. Burnside has given notice that at the mext meeting he would ask the senate to proceed to the consideration of the senate bill to establish an edu- cational Institation, and apply s por- tion of the proceeds of public land to_public education. The senate resumed the considera- tion of the bill on the calendar, on which no obilcdh:;l were made. o A bill granting a ion at the rate_of $20 per 20y Mary A. Tord, widow of Oaptain Lori, of the Thirty-seventh s regiment, which report had been made, caused & longed debate, but the bill was 'fi’;ou!y defeated by a vote of 43to 15. The chalr lald before the senate a communicatien from W. W. Corcoran, of the joint commission of the Wash- ington monument, transmitting the annual report, and recommended an appropriation of $200,000 for the con- tinuance of the work. On motion of Mr. Paddock, the bill for the sale of the remainder of the Otoe and Missouri Indian reserva- tions in Nebraska and Kansas was taken up and discussed. HOUSE. The house passed a hill to suthorize the New York chamber of commerce to place statuary in the sub-treatury buildingin that city. Oonsideration of the joint rule on the electoral count was then resumcd, Mr. McLaln argued in favor of the rule, and insisted that it was in a:- cordance with the 12th article of the constitation. The fortification bill, the first c* the regular appropriation bills, wes ro- rted to-dsy, by Mr. Baker, of In- ians. The bill makes the same sv- priations as were contained in trs Bl lant. year, viz.: $100,000 for pairs of the armament of the & ‘coast defence, and $50,000 for torpedo service. The only change from the Tast year's bill was a clause athorizing the secretary of war to change unser- viceable and unsuitablearticies of pow= der and shot on hand for new powder, ete. An effort was made to increase the appropriation bill, bat the com- ‘mittee would not allow it. Mr. Kelley Introduced a bill to re- m on bank checks, medicines and k deposits. Mr. McLane, after reading the fifth article of the constitution, said it gave a0 expressgrant to both houses of doubted whether many mon on the other side would take the position of Mr. Robeson, that the power to count the votes is vested in the vice pres dent by the constitution. That the ory has never been serlously acce; In' the history of this country, nor conld the theory be acoepted that con- gress could constitute a tribunal to count and declare the result of the electoral votes for president and vice president, Congreas did once by law establish & tribunal, and the count made underit would stand as a monu- ment of dirgrace to that tribunal. Mr. McLane argued that it was estab- lished under pressure, because the country had an execative who propos- od to use the army and the navy even to defeat the will of the people. It was under such » pressure that the gentlemen agreod to pass that law, Bat nearly all men of aoy distinction ex, tha regret that-thoy siuld be called on to vote for such & law es- tablishing such an exceptional prece- dent, and suthorized another body to perform the duty which devolved upon the two houses of congress. As a proof of that, the authority ef the two houses to count the votes had heretofors been recognized. Mr. McLane’s reference to the fact thst Mr. Lincoln, ina mat3aga to cong: .gs, Temonstrated against belng ca'iad upon to share the responsi- bility of declaring the result of pres- idential election. That message was one of the acts which the gentleman from New Jersey would ltke to wipe oit. Mr. McLane made a long a-gu- ment to show that, under article twelve of the coustitution the two houses counted the votes. Alongand tedions discussion en- sued as to the operation of the pro- posed joint rule. In reference to the action upon the vote of the states,the republicans contending that under the proposed rule one house really deter- ‘mined the result in each state, while the democrats argued that it required the concurrentaction of both houses to recleve or reject a vote, and that they regarded it as the fairest solu- tion of the question. Mr. Lapham, of New York, ex- pressed the beMef that the democrats hed some ulterior object, or they would not press this matter with sach persistency. He gave notice that he would resort to ali periiamentaryjex- pedit!: to defeat it.

CABINET RUMORS. Special Dispatch to The Bee. Loxpox, December 8,10 p. m.— The political air is full of ser onal ramors of a split in the ministry on the policy to be pursued in regard to the situation in Ireland. The story chiefly current is that several members of the cabinet aresatisfied that a land- lord reform will not give peace to Ire- land, because the idea of Irish self- government Is growing in the minds of the Irish people, and hence it would be useless to frame such a bill. Others demand the immediate sup- ression of the disturbances in Ire- nd by troops. Sober people, how- ever, do not hold a cabinet disruption imminent. 'BEACONSFIELD VISITS THE QUEEN. The conservatives are making the most of the personsl visit of Lord Beaconsfield to the queen at Windsor, and magnity it into & political neces- sity. In government cizles this ides is divided, and Mr. Gladstone's frionds say Beaconsfield is merely called to Windsor to reeeive a royal compliment upon the success of his novel.

Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, in reply, denfed that there was the least oc- casion to impute ulterior or bad ob- jects to the democrats. He admitted the election of Gen. Garfield, but s: the dumocrats wanted to establis the fact that the vice-president should not count the vote. Referring to Mr. Lapham’s remarks about Mr. Lincoln, he claimed that no section of the country had more respict for Mr. Lincoln's momory thaa the south, and they regarded his assassination a3 one of the greatest evils that could have befallen that section. Mr. Newberry, of Michigan, closed the day’s debate, arguing in favor c® the right of the vic>-president to count the vote, end at tne close of his speech, the house edjourned. ; There is no telling how long the debate will run. Mr. Wood trled again yesterday to bring the house to an agreement with reference to closing the discussion. He wauted to know how many days the gentlemen on the other side pro- | 1 posed to disturb tho public bustne:s. No answer was vouchsafed. ELECTRIC BRIEFS. Special Dispatches to The Bee. In the Bartree murder trial now in progress at Honesdale, Pa., the wit- nesses for the defense all testified to Bartree's insanity. This isa torn for which the prosecution were not pre- pared, and may yet be the cause of clearing the celebrated murderer. Thomas Muncher, who is charged with participsting in the murder of & fireman named T. J. Ryan, at a socls! ball given at Music hall, New York, gave himself up to the authorities. The Mexican gunboat case, et San Francisco, was continued till to-day, Juige Latimer taking the position that the captain must recognize the writs from the state courts, but fs willing to hear arguments. Judge Latimer has been n consultation with the circuit judges, and the Mexic:n csptain in consultation with Rear Ad- miral Stevens Cato was produced in court, by the sheriff, the prisoner hay- ing been delivered to him by the Mex- ican consul. In the case of the ltalian, Orifio Magaro, who is charged of the mur- der of his wife, in New York last June, the jury yesterday returned s verdict of gullty of murder in the sscond degree. When asked what he had to say, he remarked that he would sooner be hung than to be imprisoned for life, He was zentenced to Sing S!‘ng for the remainder of his natural e.

New York, December 9.—Immi- grants on the steamer ‘‘Switzerland,” of the Red Star line tell a horrible story of their il treatment on the voy- age across the Atlantic. The case is being investigated. New York, December 9—The An- chor line stesmer ‘“Victoria” is now eloven daysoverdue. Five Europesn steamers have arrived within the past twenty-four hours and others are He did not regard it | to The Dublin express, says the great- est excitement prevailed there. Lord Rossmore was accompaned®y Lord Mandeville, who will assist at the an- ti-land league meeting. Mandeville telegraphed to his agent at Porta- down tosend 1000 men to Scattstown without delay. Another telegram w despatched to the district grand mag ter Orangeman, of Armagh, to send 1000 men. A similar telegram was sent to Lord Crichton to send 1000 men from Fermanagh. Theseare cer- tain to arrive, and the number will be mcre than doubled by men from Mon aghan aud the surrounding neighbor- hood, The men will be supplied: with some means of defense. The most active efforts are being made by the constitutional party and the leagues to make this last meeting a success. The assemblages will be most formida- ble, and perhaps most dangerous to the peace, that nas been witnessed in Ulster for some years, and if Ulster landlords take pattern by the examplo set them by Lords Rossmore, Mande- ville and Crichton, leaguers would have little to sy in Ulster. LAND LEAGUERS INDICTED. The Cork graud jury has found trus bills against Mr. Healy, M. P., and oriyate secretary to Mr. Parnell, and Mr. Walsh, of the Balla land lesgue, on the charge of intimidating Corne- :s Manning, The trial will probably o place on Tuesday next. MORE BOYCOTTING. Mr. Bunce, a journalist of Bandon, and a celebrated south of Ireland ag- riculturist and writer on the land question, has been Boyootted. An attempt was msde to strangle one Sullivan, a process server, near Skibbereen. Lawlessness in Cork is increasing to an alarming extent. COUNTER ELEMENTS, An immense land meeting was held There were prepared to hold a counter. demonstration, but they dispersed at the urgent entreat- fos "of the authoritles. The land leaguers had telegrapbed to Dublin for milltary protection, and a sanguin- ary conflict was barely avoided. ANOTHER INDICTMENT. Dusu, December 7, 10 p, m.—It is considered probable that a fresh in- dictment will be prepared by the gov- ernment against Mr. Parnell, base upon certain_utterances fn his late speech at Waterford. The portion cspecially offen: was his intimation that the land leage proposed to con- tinge its organization until the Eng- lish government is compelled to re- store to Irelaud the right of self-gov- emment.

OVERCOMING ALL OPPOSITION. Notwithstanding the oppositlon of the Orangemen, the league is gaining ground in Ireland, and the probabili* ties are that the Catholic and Protest- ant farmers will unite in promotingthe projects of the league.
