General Grant Visits Wash- ington and is Given a Grand Welcome, ‘Will Denounce De Lesseps by a Special Message. SECRETARY THOMPSON RESIGNED, Special Dispatch tqThe Boe Wasurxazox, December 13—10 p. m.—Secretary Thompson this morn- ing requested the president to name his successor to take effoct Monday, the 20th inst., as he wishes to leave the department on that date. president, having accepted the resigna tion of Hon. R. W. Thompson, and the latter having requested to be re- lieved of his dutics on the 20th nst, the president at 2 p. m, to-day, des. igaated the Hon. Alex. Ramsey, seo- retary of war, o act as secrotary of the navy in addition to his other du ties, from and after the 20th inst. The attzution of Secretary Thompson was to-day called to-a publication, parporting to give an account of an interview_between himself and Gen. | Grant in New York about the Panama canal route, which was not at ali a pleasant one. Gen. Grant is stated to have left Secretary Thompson with a flea In his ear. The secretary said that the idea of Gen. Grant hunting him up to induce him to abandon the proposal with the French canal com- pany was preposterous. He passed Gen. Grant in the corridor of the Fifth Avenue hotel, and merely greet- ed him, GRANT IN WASHINGTON. Special Dispatch to The Bee. Wasan , December 14, 1 . m. —Gen. Grant arrived yesterday aftor- noon at 4 o'clock on the limited ex- press, and was received with a salute of seven guns, by the National Vet- eran clubs of the Boys in Biue, who escorted him to the residence of Gen. Beal, on Pennsylvania avenne. The streets along the line of procession were packed with citizens, and tho ap- 'proaches to Gen. Beal's residence were 80 thronged as to bo noarly impassa- ble. Owing t> the pressure of pr- vate business, Gen. Grant will only remain in the city three days, but he expects to retura here about the mid- dle of February, when he will remain until summer. A formal reception will be held to-night at Masonic Tem- ple, under the auspices of the Boys in Blue, between the hours of 8 and 10 o’clock, which will afford ample oppor- tunity for the general to meot his hosts of friends at the capitol, SITTING DOWN ON DE LESSEPS. 1t was currently reported here yes- terday that the president was very much chagrined at the action of Sec- retary Thompson. He is well aware that the wily Frenchman will make the most of what isapparently a sanc- ti-n by this government of his cana! project, among European capitalists. It was also stated that the president was_contemplating the propriety of sending a speclal message to con— gress again enunciating his views in opposition to the consiruction of an inter-oceanic canal on American ter- ritory by a forcign corporation. A bill will be introduced in the house tc- day to incorporate the Nicaraguan canal company.: Gen. Grant will be named among the incorporators. While Gen. Grant’s visit to Washing ton was arranged before the canal ex- citement prevailed, it is known that he will hold several conferences with gentlemen interested in the project during his stay here, He is thorough- Iy posted on_the canal subject, and it isintended that he shall be made pres- company. HOUSE. ‘Special Dispateh to The Bee. WaASHING , December 13—Mr. Townsend, of Ohio, presented the credentials of Ezea B. Taylor as Gen- eral Garfield's successor. Mr. Hurd objected to the administra- tion of the oath to the applicant, on the ground that he was not elected properly from the Nineteenth ¢ strict of Ohio. He quoted the law of Ohio, to show ihat the counties that mow compose the Nineteenth district were not the counties that had elacted Taylor. MeKinstry, in reply, argued that Taylor's title to a seat was_not ques- toned by any one in the Nineteenth district, and he contended that Tay- lor was properly elected. Mr. Batterworth, of Ohio, has in- troduced a bill to provide for cheaper rates of postage. Itauthorizes the postmaster-general to establish & new style of postal card to be transmitted * | at one cent each. He has introduced a bill to relieve soldiers of the charge It recites instances of many soldiers who served faithfully in the late war, who left their com- ‘mand before they were mustered out, and it proposes to relieve all who served faithful, of the charge of de- sertion, provided they were with their command till the actual close of the ‘hostilities. Mr. McCoid, of Iuwa, has intro- duced into the house a joint resolu- tion compelling a state to maintain a system of free school education. It also declares that no citizen of the United States, who has not attended public or,privata schools for five'years, who cannot read or write, shail be entitled to vote, mor shall he bte counted in the general enumeration for representation. The amendment also fixes one day for all elections in years when president and vice-prosi- dent arevoted for. After the Taylor matter had been dieposed of, the states were called and a number of bills introduced and re- ferred. Mr. Lowe offered a resolution di- recting an inquiry into the allegation that several states had deprived thoir citizens of the right of suffrage. Tae states of Peunsylvania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Georgia, were es- pecially mentioned. Otjection was madeto the considerstion of the re:o- lution and it was referred to the judi- 15th & Douglas St., OMAEA, - - - - NBY ciary committee. * . Poebler, of Minnesota, of- The fored a resolation practically protect- ing against the theory of the German government’s views with regard to the treaty with that government, and demanding its abrogation by the United States. _Mr. Warner, of Ohio, introduced a bill to appointa commission on the tariff question, The joint resolution in relation to the electoral count came up. Fernando Wood, chairman of the ways and meane committes, gave no- tice that after to-day he would de- mand the consideration of the fand- ing bill Mr. Becknell promised he would demand a vote as soon as the debate closed. 3r. Conger intimated that the re- publicans would debate the question at great length. Mr. White, of Pennsylvania, made a speech in opposition to the ruleand was followed by Mr. Fioley, of Ohio, and Mr. Davis, of North Caro- lina. Mr. Finley took the ground that there Was no use beginning the fight unless it was proposed to keep it up. He admitted Gen. Garfield’s election, but said ke would hold the republicans responsible for any delay in courting the vote, A question arose between Mr. Da- vis, North Carolina, and Mr. Reed, of Maine, in waich the whole question of the late campaigu was discussed. Without disposing of the matter, the house, at 5 p. m., adjourned. SENATE. Senators Edmunds and Logan ap- pearad in their ecats for the hrst time during the present session. The usual number of memorials and patitions were presented and referred. Whyte, from the committee on printing, reported a house joint reso- lution that one copy of The Congres- sional Record be sent to each of our legation abroad. _Passed. Mr. Jones, of Florida, introduced a bill forthe construction of a public building at Pensacols, Florida, tore- plate the one just destroyed by fire. Referred. Mr. Randolph succeeded in calling up for consideration the bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter, and offered his amendment, making him a colonel on the retired liet without back pay. Mr. Edmunds asked through how many administrations the power to appoint would run. If the present executive failed to appoint, would the president-elect appoint? and so on through his successors for a series of terme, He moved an smendment limiting the power to appolnt to year. Yeas2l,Nays 33. Messrs. Davi (TL) and McDonald voted with the republicans in the sfiimative. The substitute for the bill offered that Porter bad been dismissed from the army, and he was no more a part of the army than any other citizen. Mr. Kdmuuds said con rress couid as well enact that the president is au- thorized to reinstate David Davis 23 a justice in the supreme court of the Unitel States. Ha conld _rantent. himself with pointing out the uncon- stitational features of the bill without at present going into the merits of the case. Mr. McDonald said the proposition that the senate should set the action of the cour. martial aside was not a new one, There were numerous pre: codents for it, and not only that of Surgeon-General Hammond, whero the sentence was set aside by a vote of 55 to 1. He did uot uuderstand the constitutional provisions relating to the confirmation and appointments of the president by_the senate to aj ply to militaryappointmenta; that h underatood it to apply solely to civil appointments. Mr. Hereford eaid the ideas advan- ced by Mr. Carpenter were contrary to the theory of the government which made the military subordinate to civil suthcrity. The power of par- don invested in the president, related solely to the sentence of civil courts. Tfa man was sentenced by a court martial to be shot, congress beine in session, and being the superior autho- ity, would have the power to say whether or not that man should be executed. Mr. Thurman said three better ofticers to examine the case than those settled upon could mot have been found, and their findings were eo clear and emphatic that he could not see how anybody could hesitate to geant the relief. He combatted the 1dea that this wasan exercise of the pardon power. Oongress'has the power to say who should and who should not compose the army. It was no exercise of the appointing power by congrees fof authorizing the president without confirmation, did not deprive him of the power to nominate for con- firmation another to the position. Mr. Logan admitted the power of congress to make rules and regu- Iations for the government of the army, but hold that after these rules and regulations had been execated, it could not then set asida what had been done under its positve direc- ion. Mr Thurman read a number of acts passed by congrees authorizing by names the restoration of officers tothe army, andin which the sentence of the court martial was set aside. Mr. Logan sald, with the exception of the case of Surgeon General Ham- wond, which was passed without prop- er cousideration, all the names cited by Mr. Thurman] has been sent to the senate for the confimation of rein- statement. A protracted argument batween Carpenter, McDonald and Eaton, sprung up as to the constitutihal ro- lations of congress to the appointing power, the second last named gentle- men maintaining that appointments to the army did not come under the same constitutional provisions as applied to civil appointments. On motion of Mr. Davis, of Illi- nois, the senateat 3:40 p. m. went into executive session, and when the doors were agsin opened. Adjourn- Chsllenge to American Rifiemen Special Dispateh to The Bee. New York, December 14—1a. m, —In relation to the contest for the world's championship in rifle shoot- ing, s letter from the earl of Sten- hope, representing the national rifle ssociation of Great Britian, was re- ceived yesterday by Judge Gilder- sleeve, president of the American rifle 2ssociation.

TLoxox, December 13, 10 p. m.— The case of Rev. Pelliam Dale, who has been imprisoned for some timo by order of arches for unritualistic prac- tice In the church of which he was rector, has resulted in his trial in the court of the queen’s bench, and in a judgment In favor of the crown. There was no question asto Mr. Dale’s guilt under the law, and the judge in commenting on the case sus- tained the action of Lord Penance, o the court of arches. A ROYAL FORGER. A ‘Paris despatch says Baron De Friedland and his wife have beer arrested. The latter, who is a daugh- ter of the Duke De Persigning, grand- daugbter of Princess De La Moscowa, god-daughteroflex-Empress Eugeine,as charged with forging her grand- daughter's signature to acceptances amounting to 198,000 fancs, A HISTORICAL FACT. Special Dispatch to The Bee. Loxpox,December 13—10 p. m.— It was announced yesterday that two additional regiments were demanded for use in Ireland. Itis statedas a matter of fact that there are more troops In Treland than there were at Tokerman when the fate of the allles in Crimea hung in the balance of that sharply contested battle. WORRYING THE BRITISHERS. Consols have declined as a result of the nervousness and unensiness every- where felt as to the troublein Ireland. Many merchants and others express the opinion that the government should at oncedeclare it a criminal offense for any person not in the mil- tary or constabulary to carry arms in that country. More reflective per- sons ask how the government is going to prevent it, except by declaring Ireland in a state of rebellion, A MONSTER CRISIS, Speciai Dispatch to The Bee. Loxpox, December 13—10 p. m.— The sudden and unexpected srrival in London of Mr. Forster, chief secre- tary for Ireland, from Dublin, hes created a_great sensation in polltico! circles. Mr. Forster is understood to have returned from Ireland more con- vinced than ever, If possible, that a compromising and temporizing policy will not be of tho least avail to pacify the country. He is in favor of the use of armed force, and that only as a means of upholding the authority of the government. Tho cabinet meet- ing, which has been called for to- night, is expected to be an unusu- ally important and stormy one. _ All ‘manner of sensational and exciting rumors are in circulation regarding the meeting and the line of policy likely to be adopted. The opinion gains ground that Gladstone will have to abandon his policy of waiting to push a land bill through parliament, and aoquiesce in the warlike temper and propositions of Mr. Forster, who, it is understood, has ed the Irish situation in so clear a light before a portion of his colleagues as to induce them to side with him. This is prob- ably true, and if so, Mr. Gladstone's Position is as criticai as it well can be, and demands immediate decision on hin part. Mr. Forster insists that the time for hali way measares with the land league is past; that Ireland is on the brink of revolution, and that the situation will not permit the govern- ment to await the action of parlia- meant. The oplnion of The Times and The Standard, and othor lending jour- nals, is that the gravity of affairs In Ireland cannot be exaggerated, and that the worst indications of months ago are not to be compared. MASTERS OF THE SITUATION. Mr. Parnell and his coadjutors are assuming a more defiant atti. tude, aud their bold act in demand. ing from parlisment the removal of Chief Justice May from the bench, Dby means of a resolution to be adopt. ed at the cuming meeting of the home rule members in Dublin, demonstrates their sense of the power they hold. GUNPOWDER ARGUMENT. Mr. Childers, secretary of state for war, has been in consultation with t! . ' Duke of Cambridge, commander-iu- chief of the army, regarding the best measures to be taken in reference to placing more military n the turbulent districts of Ireland. _The probabilities are that additional troops will be sent out out at once. It is difficalt for the most conservative to say how civil war in Ireland is to be avoided. THE EXCITEMENT IN LONDON. Loxpos, December 14—1 a. m.— The cabinet is stiil in session, and the wildest rumors are flying about as to what is being said and done. The clubs at this time of night are full of members excitedly discussing the va- rious stories as they come in. The streetr, in the neighborhood of the newspaper and telegraph offices, re- mind one of war times. FORSTER SUCCSSFUL. Tarer—The cabinet meeting has just ended after a protracted and in- tensely exciting session. After the other members had separated, Earl Spencer, lord president of the coun- cil, and Mr. Forster remained closeted for a long time, It is next o certain that the coevcive policy urged by Mr. Forater for Ireland, has been adopt- ed by the cabinet. Pavey and Herbert, the murderers, were hanged in Nowgate prison, Lon- don , Mondsy morning. Pavey was convicted of the murder of Ada Shep- herd, a girl ten years of age by cutting her throat. #4 Had Job. \ Special Dispateh to The Beo.
