Ainu 17 Senate The Louisville and Portland Canal bond bill was discussed and amended, but not disposed of, during the morninghour.. ..Consideration of the Louisiana bill was resumed, but without reaching a vote the Senate adjourned until Monday. House The Legislative Appropriation bill being again taken up, the subj ct of franking gave rise to considerable discussion in con nection with the clause appropriating 550,-000 for stamps for the State Department. A long discussion was also had in reference to clerical force in the Treasury Department, resulting in reduction of the salary of the chief and seven other clerks from $3000 to $25000. ConHtltutlonnl Convention. April 17. An additional avalanche of temperance petitions was launched upon the Convention Nearly the entire day was . spent in discussing the following resolution, which was adopted: "Resolved, That the committee on the Schedule be instructed to report that separate propositions shall be submitted upon the same ballot with that for the adoption of the Constitution itself, and no such propositions shall be held to be adoDted except the affirmative vote therefor shall be equal to a majority of all the bid-lots cast" The proposition relating to amendments was taken up and briclly discussed. - Ueneral Assembly. Aran. 17. Senate Bills passed: Estab lishing the practice for contesting wills ducing tolls on turnpikes and plankroads; enabling trustees of religious denominations to become incorporated; providing for re pair of free turnpike roads by general coun ty tax : regulating practice of pharmacy j providing for a committee to investigate claims of certain volunteer officers Re- bnest of the House for a second committee of conference on the General Appropriation bill was acceded to. Home Petitions were presented against passage of the Pierson bill, and for repeal of certain sections of the school laws Con ference committee's report on the Appropria tion bill was disagreed to...... Bills passed Amending law in relation to cruelty to ani mals; authorizing courts to grant alimony pending suits for divorce; providing for sell ing stone coal by weight; prescribing rate of State tales Two new bills introduced. Spr.AKino of the Arkansas squabble the New Tork Post says "it must be ad mitted that Governor Baxter was not legally entitled to the office ; and yet he is the only man in the quarrel whose character is entitled to any respectfulconsideration." Thb Senate and House (General As- aerably) came to a dead lock on the Appropriation bill yesterday, two committees of conference failing to agree. The difference between the two Houses was narrowed down to the refusal of the House to allow an appropriation of $2500 to the expenses of the Senate committee appointed to investigate the management of the canals by the lessees. This very unusual proceeding of ono House refusing to recognize the right of a committee of a co-ordinate branch of the Legislature to a fund for necessary expenses, is one which may cost the State a good deal more than the amount involved, by reason of a needless and inexcusable prolongation of the session beyond the time already fixed for adjournment. The House should not allow itBelf to be swayed by the ambition of a few members to serve on a committee during the recess. During thirteen weeks, from Nov. 13th to March 20th last, the Bunk of France contracted its note circulation to the extent of $85,000,000, and increased its coin reserve $59,000,000. Though specie payments have not been formally resumed, the premium on coin has entirely disappeared, the coin reserve exceeding one-third of the entire note circulation. Business so far from being crushed has thrived under this rapid contraction, and has been less depressed than it was in the United Stales during the same period. In France it is not the custom to denounce as a theorist a public man who has carefully studied the principles of economic science. The widow of Captain Hall, the Arctic explorer, is an applicant for a pension. Her appeal is one that should be heeded. In the first expedition of the adventurous Hall the whole of her little fortune was consumed. This was a sacrifice she could illy afford to make, but she made it. The second expedition required a greater still, that of her husband. These privations have left her doubly destitute, and impose a strong obligation upon the Government, in behalf of whose service they were mainly incurred. Let this obligation be promptly and liberally met. It has been discovered in New Jersey that an excellent article of whisky can be made of "saw-dust, tan and molasses." A chemist of this city says he can produce a good article of alcohol from an old shirt and he does not require the shirt of an "old soaker," either. How long will it be before we shall have laws prohibiting the manufacture of shirts and saw logs? We have had Holland gin for ages now we shall have cotton gin as a beverage. B7 MAIL AND TELEGRAPH. The New Orleans races have been postponed until to-day on account of the weather. The freight and passenger combination between the Pacific Mail Steamship company und the Pacific railways now seems improbable. The foundered steamship L'Amcrique is said to have leaked badly from the time she left Newcastle-ou-Tyue, where she was lengthened. The meeting indorsing the financial policy of inflation, which was to have been held at Cincinnati last night, was indefinitely postponed. A contract has been made for building a railway across the Tchuantepec isthmus from Miuitillan to Salina Cruz, fourteen miles, tiie work to he finished August 1, 1870. A Philadelphia saloon keeper named Colvert, was arrested in New York yesterday, immediately after selling $300 wortli of counterfeit fifty cent currency to a decoy. The Pacific Mail Steamship company claims to have now 3300 passengers and $500,000 worth of freight afloat in its 33 steamers, and $319,000 in bank in London, besides C000 shares of stock in sole. The trustee of Mariah H. Metcalf and Mary K. Church has injoined Duncan, Sherman & Co., of New York, from paying to any one $250,000 held by that firm and belonging to the estate of a late Mr. Metcalf, of lieorgia. A huge tank in the upper story of the new Lindell Hotel, at St. Louis, containing 18,000 gallons of water, burst yesterday morning, and its contents spread over and ran through a large portion ol the building, doing about $1000 damage. A claim for $16,400 has been made by the National Line, to which the steamship i recce belongs, against the Conipagme Generate Trans-Atlantique, for transportation and subsistence of the passengers and crew of the Europe, and for property lost or destroyed while effecting their res cue. 1 his claim, it is alleged, would not have been made excepting lor the course pursued by the French company and its officers. Mr. Timothy W. Davenport, candidate of the Oregon Farmers' convention fur Congress, resided for several years in Champaign county, Ohio. He graduated from the Starling Medical college, ot Columbus, as a physician, but abandoned the profession soon after emigrating to Oregon, in 1850. He was tendered the nomination for Congress last year by the Republican State Convention, but declin ed, as that body bad passed a resolution indorsing Senator Hippie Mitchell. The Farmers' State Convention of Ore gon has nominated 1. w. Davenport, a tanner, tor uongress; inos. r. latupoen, President of Monmouth College, for Gov ernor; J. II. Doughelt, ex-President o- the State Agricultural society, for eecref tary of btate; V. lieacb, mill owner, lor Treasurer; for State Printer, W. M. Hand, an editor; for School Superintendent, M. M. Oglesby. The platform de nounces corruption, state and National; demands that officials devote their whole time to the public service; favors regula tion of railway tan II by the .Legislature: condemns monopoly in the sale of school books; condemns absorption of large tracts of land by speculators; considers Denton al character the criterion as to fit ness for office, and indorses the Granger opposition to extortion. It is alleged that onehall the press oi me otate win indorse the ticket, lhe convention was cnthusi astic, and is said to have been devoid of wire-pulling, each delegate avowing an honest purpose to adopt principles and Select candidates that would command respect Tbb Postmaster General decide that the mere heading of a printing sheet as supplement to a newspaper does not make it a bona fait supplement. To en title an additional publication to be cl ed as a supplement, it mast be made n of matter germane to that of the regular, bat crowded out for want of room. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL MT. VERNON. Bnslnesn, the Weallier and the Cm-; Made. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Mt.Veknon, April 17. The day has been raw and chilly, necessitating warm bricks for the feet of the crusaders who are so unfortunate as to be upon the spy detail for the day. The newly-elected Mayor, Captain T. P. Frederick, will be sworn in to-morrow. ' Mr. Frederick is a very fair and candid man, will make a good Mayor, and is not too timid nor too modest to do his duty. We predict that be will Badly disappoint those fanatical crusaders, who expect him to pursue witli tire-brand and sword, all who may differ with him in respect to the proper method of eradicating an acknowledged evil. Mr. Frederick will administer the law as he finds it, without the aid of song and prayer. Business seems to be improving here and money easier. The firm of C. & G. Cooper, who employ the largest number of hands of any establishment in the city, are running full time, and have manv orders in advance. Mrs. Kobert Thompson, the most eminent of the crusaders and leader of the element here, recently returned from a trip to Mansfield, whither she went to stimulate the flagging zeal of the adherents to the movement in that city. Mrs. Thompson is a very intellectual and zealous woman, and talks well withal. ANTI-INFLATION. The President and the Senate Currency Bill. Veto of the Nlll Sollcllcd by a New York Committee The President Stales 111 View, Leaving III Action to be Inferred Ills Mcslre to Deal Fairly with all Sections. Washington, April 17. The committee appointed to present to the President a petition signed by about 2-500 hankers, capitalists and merchants of New York, asking him to veto the Senate finance bill, or any other bill tending to inflate the currency, discharged their mission to-day. Besides the committee there were present Senators Carpenter, Logan and Ferry of Michigan. Cyrus W. Field presented the petition. A. A. Law in his address said they wanted the veto to avert what they regard as a most disastrous blow to the credit of the country, and was followed by S. S. Chittenden. The President iu reply said he had watched the progress of the bill through Congress with more interest than he had any other measure before that body since he had been President. He had at all times been entirely free in the expressions of his views, and was always opposed to expansion without rcdemptiou und in favor of free hanking accompanied with such legislation as would carry out the pledges of Congress and the party in the direction of resumption of siiecie payments. But he had tu look at this matter a little different from the views of this committee. They show very well what they want, and may imagine, as he might were ho a citizen of New York, that the whole counj try wants what they do. The President observed that the chairman of a similar committee from Boston called on him yesterday. If he ever could be in favor of inllatibn it would be from the effects of such arguments as that gentleman advanced against it, hut that position was an unkind one to this committee from New York. The gentleman from Boston, in behalf of those whom he represented, started with a condemnation of what he (the President) had always believed to be right. Speaking as if lie were wrong, they opposed the purchase of United States bonds with surplus from. the United States Treasury, and if he had acted as the Boston committee wanted him to, he would have kept such surplus in the treasury until there was not a greenback in ciiculation. hese bonds were purchased at Ills own direction. Another argument was used in the Boston memorial, that the issue of greenbacks was of doubtful legality, was to be deplored and bad to be sustained by a bare majority of one in the Supreme Court as a war issue. In conclusion the President repeated that his views on this question were already known as against lnllation, and as opposed to breaking away from redemption of pledges. SUMNER'S SUCCESSOR. Finale or the Massachusetts Sena- toilnl NtriiKvleUovernor Waab-burne Elected till the Thirty third Ballot. Boston, April 17. Thirtvsecond bal lot: Whole number of votes cast 265; necessary to a choice 133. Dawes 72, Hoar 75, Curtis o, Adams 10, Wash-bnrne 10, Banks 12, Loring 3, Pitman, Whitlier, Sanford, Hale and Phillips 1 each. Kecess. At a meeting of Dawes men before the session opened at 2 o'clock a ballot for candidates other than Dawes resulted in 36 votes for Dr. Loring and 14 for Washburne, part of which were for Jsmory Washburne and part for Governor Washburne. lhe rest were scattering, Judge Bennett receiving Bonie votes. During the recess a communication was received from Dawes men proposing a union on the name of Dr. Loring, which was re jected by Hoar men by an almost unani mous vote. Another proposition was received from the Dawes men that the Hoar men should pass a resolution complimentary to Dawes, and the Dawes men would then withdraw their man. They also proposed that one more ballot be taken to-day, and that the Convention then adjourn to Saturday. Joth these propositions were voted down. Sprasue, of Parmingham, moved that Hoar men should stick to Judge Hoar, but finally withdrew the motion. lhe thirtvthird and final ballot was taken when the Convention assembled af ter recess. Mr. Sodman, of Boston, moved to proceed at once to ballot, which carried, and the roll was called. After the roll was first called there began an immediate change of voles, which lasted nearly half an hour, all of them in favor of Governor Washburne. The result was as follows : Whole number of votes 262; neoessarv to a choice 131; V illiam B. Washburne 151, Curtis 64, Dawes 26, Adams 15, Loring 4, Banks 4, Wendell Phillips 1, tstphen X.

Washburne is chosen senator, and declared the Convention adjourned.An informal meeting of Boston stock holders of the Cincinnati, Sandusky and Cleveland railroad was held at Boston Thursday, at which the President presented a report of the Sloane investigation, and a vote was passed looking toward rendering stock held in the Columbus, Springfield and Cincinnati railroad available as assets. BROOKS-BAXTER. The Arkansas War of (lie Succession. Volleys of Telegrams and Broadsides ' of Proclamations. Brook Nllll Hold aud Baxter Hal-Hlferenl The Stale Militia Assembling under Baiter's Banner- BrooHa Narrowing- His Line and I'oriHiitr His I'oalllon Ueneral Order No 1 to the drand Army of Little Kock The Anthony House Army Preparing to AnNaiiH the Mate House Forces -United SUates Troops Interfering- to Preserve Order. Little Bock, Abk., April 17. During the warlike movements of last night Colonel Roe, commandant of the United States Arsenal, brought a company down, stationing them at the corner of Main and Fourth streets, and sent word to each side that, while he had no orders to interfere in behalf of either party, he was directed to prevent bloodshed. The company returned to the Arsenal at daylight this morning, there appearing to be no immediate danger. Governor Baxter has contracted his lines to the vicinity of the Anthony House, and is now proceeding as before to exercise the duties of Governor, making the Anthony House the Capitol for the time being. This morning the private secretaries of both Brooks and Baxter applied at the postofhee for mail matter addressed to the Governor of Arkansas. The postmaster declined to deliver to either party, and telegraphed to Washington for instructions.Governor Baxter haB issued the following proclamation : Executive Omct, Lira. Rocs, Ahk , April 10, 1874. j To the People of Arkansas : An insurrection, organized in the interest of certain parties disappointed in an attempt to secure the influence of the Executive for proposed frauds in the approaching election, has effected the seizure of the Capitol, and now attempts to usurp the functions of the government. The armed sentries and loaded cannon which for the moment support the usurpation within the precincts of the Stale House, have not been deemed requisite to the maintenance of organized government. The unexpected and forcible occupation of the building could not at the instant be successfully resisted. Aversion to unnecessary bloodshed has, for a few hours, withheld the arm of the State government from immediate vindication of its right and dignity. Forbearance has seemed only to embolden the impudence of the handful of insurgents. Forbearance, therelore, is at an end. General orders No. 1, from headquarters of the militia of Arkansas, of date correspondent wilh that of this proclamation, declares martial law in the county of Pulaski. It ia due the people of the State that the circumstances which have tendered necssa-ry this course of action be published. At the election of 1872 I was returned Governor of Arkansas, At a late stage of the session of the Legislature, chosen at the same time', my opponent, Joseph Brooks esq , sought his sole legitimate and constitutional method of redress, had he been injured in the decision of the election by an appeal to the representatives of the ieople. The appeal was sum-.marily rejected. Application was then made to the highest judicial authority of the Slate, the Supreme Court, for a writ of oko warranto, which should determine my right to the oflice of Governor. In that case, as in the suit instituted for the office of Auditor of State, the highest judicial tribunal of Arkansas decided that under the supreme organic law of the Slate the determination of the question of election of State officers is exclusively vested in the Legislature, Public excitement was allayed, the Slate settled itself to quiet under an administration which I trust has not been unfaithful to its professions or obnoxious to the people. Meantime a proceeding had been instituted before a Circuit Court of a county for the possession of the oflice of Governor. 1 do not care at present to comment upon the question of authority of such court to adjudicate a matter from the decision of which the Supreme Court of the Slate had, upon unconstitutional grounds, not merely shrunk, but affirmatively denied its own jurisdiction. The Pulaski Circuit Court did clandestinely assume, upon a demurrer filed in court, but never submitted to the court for its action, to render judgment of ouster against the officer who for fifteen months had exercised the functions of Chief Magistrate of the State. The judgment was rendered upon the call of the contestants attorney, in viola tion of the express agreement or counsel that the case should not be taken up in the absence of the representatives of either party. It was rendered, therefore, in point of fact, without the knowledge or even the suspicion of the Governor or of his counsel. In pursuance of a plot already matured in anticipation of the decision of the Circuit Court, the conspirators, forgetting in their haste that no writ ot ouster had ever tieen issued, tie-took themselves to the room where the Chief Justice of the State, the sole dissenter from the decision of the Supreme Court in the matter, awaited them by pre vious appointment, and then, armed with the Chief Justices' attestation to Brooks's oath of office, proceeded forcibly to eject from the State House the Chief Magistrate oi the commonwealtu. Appeal lies, of course, to the Supreme Court of the State. That Supreme Court has already, in a case involving the point at issue, determined that no court has the authority to decide the validity of the election of any executive officer of the State. It need hardly be remarked that pending an appeal the effect of the judg ment of the Circuit Court of Pulaski county is suspended, and that the undertaking to sustain the enforcement of that judgment, pending the appeal, ia without color ol law or moral palliation, lhe forcible ejection of the Chief Magistrate from the premises was loliowed hy p rear-ran Bed and prompt summons to armed desperadoes to bar all access to the State House ot its legitimate occupants. Mr. Brooks has issued a paper entitled a proclamation, in which he distinctly announces his intention of bloodshed. The Executive of the Slate has but one obligation to perform, that to which he is bound alike by his dutv as a citizen rnd his official alh. The authority of the law will be immediately and effectively asserted, peaceably if it may be, but asserted in any event. The government proposes to occupv the Capitol as Gover nor of Arkansas. I appeal to the people of the State to support the government of the state against shameless usurpation, L'nder the solemn obligation of my oath of office, I renew my promise to be true to them. 1 ask Irom them the support which they owe to their Chief Magis trate. tXISlIA BAXTER, Governor of Arkansas. Second Dispatch. Lrrn.e Rock, April 17. This morning Judge Wheelockaentanote to the Clerk of the Circuit Court, stating that he had been advised by the Sheriff that it would be unsafe for him to come to the Circuit room on Markham street, and requesting the Clerk to bring the records up to the State House. Governor Baxter's attorneys were also notified. These gentlemen declined to pass through Brooks's guard into the State House, where the County Clerk's office is located, to attend court.' The Judge then moved to the Criminal Court room, just opposite, but they could not get through. Judge Wheelock then overruled the motion to set aside judgment in the Brooks-Baxter case, and sustained a motion to amend the record so as to show the demurer was submitted without knowledge of Baxter or bis attorneys. The bar held a meeting to-day, and passed several resolutions against Whipple, Brooks's attorney, for bisnon-professional conduct, and also against the court for its action in the abseucc of the Governor's couasel. During the morning, General T. P. Dockery was appointed Military Governor of the city, and issued the following order : . Hkadq.'sj Milit&rt Government or Crrv, ' Little Hock, April 17, 174. General Order No. 1. The Command er-in-chief of the militia of the Stale of Arkansas has appointed me Military Gov ernor of the city of Little Bock. All male citizens between the ages ol 18 and 45 are hereby ordered immediately to report for duty at these headquarters, south east corner of Markham aud Scott streets. Failure of prompt compliance wilh the requirements of this order is not expected from patriotic citizens, and the consequences of Buch failure must rest with those who omit. Tom. P. Dockeby, Brigadier General and Military Governor of the City of Little Kock. Since the issuance of this order the people have been rapidly enrolling. An address, signed by nearly all tho leading citizens of Little Rock, was issued to-dav reciting the circumstances attending the contest between Brooks and Baxter for the office of Governor, and invoking the aid of the people of the State in Baxter's effort to repossess himself of his authority and lunctions. Governor Baxter is still at the Anthony House with a guard stalioned there. Mr. Brooks is at the State House, surrounded by a large number of men, mostly colored, lie is fortifying the place and preparing for a siege. The United Slates Circuit Court ad journed to-day till the first Monday in May, and Judge Dillon leaves for st. Louis to-night. The first arrest was by the Baxter troops, who arrested one of Brooks's Lieutenants this morning while passing near the Baxter headquarters, and sent him to the guard house. Brooks's forces have not apparently been augmented by any considerable number. Baxter's officers are enrolling men rapidly, and public feeling is generally in his favor. The United States troops occupied a position at the United States court-room last night, in the center of the city, to preserve peace, und will occupy a similar station to-night. Baxter's forces, have taken possession of the different gun stores and the arms and ammunition in them, STORM AND FLOOD. Illicit Wa'erln lhe Lower Mississippi Additional Crevasses und More Bnln. New Orleans, April 17. A dispatch from Baton Rogue reports another crevasse at McCiillom's, the old one there not being closed, as reported last night. The steamer Natchez had her chimneys carried away by a tornado Wednesday evening near Natchez island. The upper works of the boat were badly damaged. Officers of the Natchez report a crevasse six hundred feet wide and ten deep at Dan llickey's, West Baton Kngue. The pilot of the Scudder reports a large crevasse in Morgan Sea Bend, just below Grand Levee. A Baton Rogue dispateh to-day reports the river fallen fourteen inches. The Jackson railroad is partly overflowed by the Ponn it Carre ere va- a i. Trains connect at Pussaniancha with the lake steamer Creole. No Northern mail for two days. The river has declined about a foot, attributed to crevasses above. Rain all day. WASHINGTON. THE DE UOLYEB PAVINO CONTRACT. Washington, April 17. In the District of Columbia investigation this morning, George R. Chittenden, of Chicago, read a sworn statement wilh reference to his connection wilh the contract of De-Golyer and McClcllan for laying one hundred thousand Bquare yards of wood pavement in this city. In it he denied that any money was used by him for corrupt purposes. He was tiuestioned sharply in relation to the distribution of the 'J7,U00 paid film by UeUolyer and McClellan. lie said he gave Jia.uuu io Mr. Parsons, and $10,000 to Colville Brown, and that one Colonel Kirtland purchased not amounting to $72,000. He said he did not know what influence Brown or Kirtland used, that he paid them money without knowing whether they used any influence at all on their own uncorroborated statement that their influence had secured the contract. THE CABINET was a longer time in session to-day than for several months past. All the members were prei-ent. It was stated that Baxter, of Arkansas, had seized the telegraph line to prevent the Brooks party from using it, and accordingly instructions had been issued by the War Department, by an officer at Diivall's Bluff, to proceed to Little Kock and investigate the matter, and to see that telegrams to and from the Government shall not he intercepted. MAIL FOR, THE TWO GOVERNORS. Postmaster General Creswell, in re sponse to a telegram of the ostmaster at Little IIock, received to-day, instructed him as follows: "Letters addressed to Governor Baxter, Governor of Arkansas, should be delivered to Baxter; letters addressed to Governor Breoks, or to Brooks, Governor of Arkansas, should be delivered to Brooks. You will retain all commu nications addressed to the Governor of Arkansas until further orders." SENATE CURRENCY BILL. The President related to the Cabinet the particulars of the interview to-day be tween himselt and the Jew lorK com niittee. In this connection the Senate Finance bill was discussed, the President explaining his views at length, but what they were cannot be ascertained, it la the belief generally that the President will approve the bill. GOING OUT OF COMMISSION. Orders have been given to put the United States shine Shenandoah and Unard, at New York, and the Franklin, at Boston, out of commission, and to di charge such men as have already served their term ot enlistment. COLORADO GOVERNORSHIP. The Senate was occupied nearly an hour in discussion over lhe nomination of Edwin McCook to be Governor of Col orado territory, bnt did not reach a vote. SENATOR MORTON had an interview with the President be fore the meeting of the Cabinet to-day. XLIII Congress First Session. Washington, April 17. N EN ATE. Mr. Sherman presented a preamble and resolutions adopted at a large meeting of uiu6eiiB ui vjiuciiuiau, protesting against any inflation of the currency. Referred. Mr. Scott called up the bill to provide for purchase of bonds of the Louisville and Portland Canal company. Mr. Conkling said he did not accept the suggestion that this wob a local question. It full to the lot of the State of New York to pay onesixth of the tax gathered in the Union, as she had within her borders one-eleventh of (he population of the country, and he need not apologize for raising his voice against buying a canal and probably a lawsuit, or an assortment of them. Mr. Stevenson said the United States had appropriated already over one million dollara for this work, and the contest was not between Kentucky and the United States. Kentucky had pledged her faith to surrender her jurisdiction over the canal to the United States. The question now was whether the United States, having paid so much money, should not take possession of the work. No one made any objection, with the exception of five trustees who levied $30,000 annually and were accountable to no one. The whole commerce of the Ohio Valley demanded that the Government should take possession of the canal. ' The State of Kentucky has never received a dollar from tax on the property. The amendment proposed by the Senate Finance committee, to strike out the provision that the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay no money and the Secretary of War shall not take possession of the work till the State of Kentucky shall cede to the United States jurisdiction over the canal and relinquish to the United States lhe right to tax or in any way to have access to said canal during the time the Government may remain in possession thereof, was agreed to. Pending the discussion the morning hour expired and the Senate resumed consideration of the Louisiana bill. Mr. Hamilton of Maryland moved that when the Senate adjourn to-day it be . to meet on Monday next. Agreed to. Mr. Scott said alter Senator Tipton should conclude his speech on the "Louisiana" bill he would ask the Senate lo resume consideration of theLouisville-Portland Canal bill. At the conclusion of Mr. Tipton's remarks the Senate went into Executive session and soon after ad journed. HOUSE. Mr. Morey introduced a joint resolution for furnishing rations of forage and clothing to people suffering from inundation from overflow of the Mississippi and tributaries. He addressed the House on the subject, and said the present inundation was greater than any that had hap-jiened since 1847, that the people never were more destitute, and the number needing aid was from ten to fifteen thousand.Mr. Cox remarked that the Government might as well be called upon to furnish aid to forty thousand starving people in New York city. After some discussion the joint resolution was referred to the committee on Military Affairs, with leave to report at any time. The Bubject of precedence of business drew a remark from the Speaker that more time had been devoted to private bills this session than at any session for fifteen yeara past, and he suggested that the rule setting apart Friday and Saturday of each week for private bills', ought to be changed, as the practical effect of it was to take twotifths of the time of the House from public business and give it to private business. Mr. Dawes asked leave to offer a resolution setting apart Saturday only for private business until otherwise ordered. Mr. Randall objected unless the resolution was referred to the committee on Rules. The upshot of the discussion was that the House refused to go either into committee of the Whole on the private calendar or committee of the Whole on state of the Union, and instead, proceeded to business of the morning hour, whiclrwas call of committees for reports of a private character. The House having refused to go into committee of the Whole on the private calendar, went into committee of the Whole on" the state of the Union Mr. Wood in the chair on the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation.! bill, the question being an amendment offered by Mr. Butler of Massachusetts, that after March, 1875, the publication of laws in newspapers shall not cease. The Chair ruled the amendment out of order, from which ruling Mr. Butler appealing, the ruling was sustained. The item appropriating $50,000 for postage Btamps for the State Department reopened the subject of franking. Mr. Butler proposed to appropriate only one thousand dollars for furnishing postage stamps at the cost ot manufacture, and Mr. Ward proposed to have official documents sent through the mails free. Mr. Garfield opposed both propositions, and advocated the propriety of each Department paying its own post age. Mr. Butler stated that the fostothce Department had a portion of its business carried through the mails free, and Mr. Dawes corroborated that statement by the assertion that large boxes of postal cards were sent every day from Springfield, Mass., to different parts of the country free through the mails. Mr. Willard ottered an amendment to make it read, "for furnishing official stamps to an amount not exceeding $o0, 000.'f Mr. Garfield appealed to the committee either to restore the franking privilege openly and squarely or else take exactly I lie opposite course, and let the rostomce Department sell its stamps to all comers at a lair value. After considerable discussion, Mr. Wil lard's amendment was adopted. A long discussion occurred in reference to clerical force in the Treasury department, Mr. Garfield making an elaborate explanation of the bill, and Mr. Beck at tacking the Administration for extravagance in the conduct of public business. Alr.tv ard suggested an amendment providing that no more should be given to male employes than to female employes for like service, while Mr. Niblack sug gested that female employes should be classified as other clerks are. All that was accomplished after a long discussion, was the reduction of the salary of Chief Clerk aud seven other principal clerks of the Tressury Department from $3000 to $2500. The committee then, af ter getting through one page of the bill rose and tbe House adjourned. Reports of small-pox on Black well's Island turn out to be part of a conspirarv on the part of W, M. Tweed's friends to secure his exemption Irom the prison discipline of other convicts. Two of the convicts confess that their eruptions were due to Croton oil. The banquet to General Schenck last night was one of the largest and most brilliant ever given in Dayton. In response to a toast, the General spoke at considerable length, eulogizing President Grant, the Queen of England, and the English people.

A Havana letter says Frederick Dockery, ex-United States District Attorney at Key West, about the clumsiest individual to have been sent on any mission requiring a deal of tact, has come to grief, owing to his Btupidity in supposing he had the right to go about as he pleased. It is said he came here on a mission from General Quesada, trying to arrange matters with Cespedes in the interior, and fix things so that Qnesada could land with an expedition. On the 6th instant, all tattered and torn, Dockery presented himself at the office of the United States Consular agent in Nuevitas, telling him he had just come from the insurrection and was desirous of surrendering to the Spanish authorities, undoubtedly thinking that he would at once receive a passport to go hack- to Key West. The Consul went .with him to the military governor of the place, and he referred the subject to lien-eral Partillo, who ordered that Dockery and the Consul be placed in solitary confinement. Concha ordered the release of the Consul, but approved of acourt-martial to try Dockery as a spy. On Thursday following the court-martial sentenced him to death, and the case was submitted to General Concha, who, it is rumored, intends to spare his life as a matter of courtesy toward the United States. A line of large and swift screw steamers iB to be put upon the Rhine. It is said the Concha has declined a proposition to take 8000 men to Ssn Sebastian and attack the Carlists at Bilboa in the rear. The Chilian coasting steamer Tacna capsized at sea and was lost March 14. Nineteen persons perished, two of the crew escaping. Baron Seaborn, the newly appointed Austrian Ambassador to the United States, will leave for Washington the latter part of May. The Eagle Line steamship Goethe, which left Hamburg Thursday for New York, is aground in the Elbe. Her cylinder is broke. A terrific gale has raged in the English Channel the past three days. Many ships, names unknown, have been wrecked and all on board lost. The Porte haa authorized the Khedive of Egypt to keep the Suez Canal in work ing order should M. DeLesseps persist in his refusal to abide by the decision of the International Commission. The aeereeate income of the English life insurance offices is $77,000,000; their total accumulated funds amount to $ob0,- 000,000, and the policies in force represent nearly $1,750,000,000.

Ainu 17 Senate The Louisville and Portland Canal bond bill was discussed and amended, but not disposed of, during the morninghour.. ..Consideration of the Louisiana bill was resumed, but without reaching a vote the Senate adjourned until Monday. House The Legislative Appropriation bill being again taken up, the subj ct of franking gave rise to considerable discussion in con nection with the clause appropriating 550,-000 for stamps for the State Department. A long discussion was also had in reference to clerical force in the Treasury Department, resulting in reduction of the salary of the chief and seven other clerks from $3000 to $25000. ConHtltutlonnl Convention. April 17. An additional avalanche of temperance petitions was launched upon the Convention Nearly the entire day was . spent in discussing the following resolution, which was adopted: "Resolved, That the committee on the Schedule be instructed to report that separate propositions shall be submitted upon the same ballot with that for the adoption of the Constitution itself, and no such propositions shall be held to be adoDted except the affirmative vote therefor shall be equal to a majority of all the bid-lots cast" The proposition relating to amendments was taken up and briclly discussed. - Ueneral Assembly. Aran. 17. Senate Bills passed: Estab lishing the practice for contesting wills ducing tolls on turnpikes and plankroads; enabling trustees of religious denominations to become incorporated; providing for re pair of free turnpike roads by general coun ty tax : regulating practice of pharmacy j providing for a committee to investigate claims of certain volunteer officers Re- bnest of the House for a second committee of conference on the General Appropriation bill was acceded to. Home Petitions were presented against passage of the Pierson bill, and for repeal of certain sections of the school laws Con ference committee's report on the Appropria tion bill was disagreed to...... Bills passed Amending law in relation to cruelty to ani mals; authorizing courts to grant alimony pending suits for divorce; providing for sell ing stone coal by weight; prescribing rate of State tales Two new bills introduced. Spr.AKino of the Arkansas squabble the New Tork Post says "it must be ad mitted that Governor Baxter was not legally entitled to the office ; and yet he is the only man in the quarrel whose character is entitled to any respectfulconsideration." Thb Senate and House (General As- aerably) came to a dead lock on the Appropriation bill yesterday, two committees of conference failing to agree. The difference between the two Houses was narrowed down to the refusal of the House to allow an appropriation of $2500 to the expenses of the Senate committee appointed to investigate the management of the canals by the lessees. This very unusual proceeding of ono House refusing to recognize the right of a committee of a co-ordinate branch of the Legislature to a fund for necessary expenses, is one which may cost the State a good deal more than the amount involved, by reason of a needless and inexcusable prolongation of the session beyond the time already fixed for adjournment. The House should not allow itBelf to be swayed by the ambition of a few members to serve on a committee during the recess. During thirteen weeks, from Nov. 13th to March 20th last, the Bunk of France contracted its note circulation to the extent of $85,000,000, and increased its coin reserve $59,000,000. Though specie payments have not been formally resumed, the premium on coin has entirely disappeared, the coin reserve exceeding one-third of the entire note circulation. Business so far from being crushed has thrived under this rapid contraction, and has been less depressed than it was in the United Stales during the same period. In France it is not the custom to denounce as a theorist a public man who has carefully studied the principles of economic science. The widow of Captain Hall, the Arctic explorer, is an applicant for a pension. Her appeal is one that should be heeded. In the first expedition of the adventurous Hall the whole of her little fortune was consumed. This was a sacrifice she could illy afford to make, but she made it. The second expedition required a greater still, that of her husband. These privations have left her doubly destitute, and impose a strong obligation upon the Government, in behalf of whose service they were mainly incurred. Let this obligation be promptly and liberally met. It has been discovered in New Jersey that an excellent article of whisky can be made of "saw-dust, tan and molasses." A chemist of this city says he can produce a good article of alcohol from an old shirt and he does not require the shirt of an "old soaker," either. How long will it be before we shall have laws prohibiting the manufacture of shirts and saw logs? We have had Holland gin for ages now we shall have cotton gin as a beverage. B7 MAIL AND TELEGRAPH. The New Orleans races have been postponed until to-day on account of the weather. The freight and passenger combination between the Pacific Mail Steamship company und the Pacific railways now seems improbable. The foundered steamship L'Amcrique is said to have leaked badly from the time she left Newcastle-ou-Tyue, where she was lengthened. The meeting indorsing the financial policy of inflation, which was to have been held at Cincinnati last night, was indefinitely postponed. A contract has been made for building a railway across the Tchuantepec isthmus from Miuitillan to Salina Cruz, fourteen miles, tiie work to he finished August 1, 1870. A Philadelphia saloon keeper named Colvert, was arrested in New York yesterday, immediately after selling $300 wortli of counterfeit fifty cent currency to a decoy. The Pacific Mail Steamship company claims to have now 3300 passengers and $500,000 worth of freight afloat in its 33 steamers, and $319,000 in bank in London, besides C000 shares of stock in sole. The trustee of Mariah H. Metcalf and Mary K. Church has injoined Duncan, Sherman & Co., of New York, from paying to any one $250,000 held by that firm and belonging to the estate of a late Mr. Metcalf, of lieorgia. A huge tank in the upper story of the new Lindell Hotel, at St. Louis, containing 18,000 gallons of water, burst yesterday morning, and its contents spread over and ran through a large portion ol the building, doing about $1000 damage. A claim for $16,400 has been made by the National Line, to which the steamship i recce belongs, against the Conipagme Generate Trans-Atlantique, for transportation and subsistence of the passengers and crew of the Europe, and for property lost or destroyed while effecting their res cue. 1 his claim, it is alleged, would not have been made excepting lor the course pursued by the French company and its officers. Mr. Timothy W. Davenport, candidate of the Oregon Farmers' convention fur Congress, resided for several years in Champaign county, Ohio. He graduated from the Starling Medical college, ot Columbus, as a physician, but abandoned the profession soon after emigrating to Oregon, in 1850. He was tendered the nomination for Congress last year by the Republican State Convention, but declin ed, as that body bad passed a resolution indorsing Senator Hippie Mitchell. The Farmers' State Convention of Ore gon has nominated 1. w. Davenport, a tanner, tor uongress; inos. r. latupoen, President of Monmouth College, for Gov ernor; J. II. Doughelt, ex-President o- the State Agricultural society, for eecref tary of btate; V. lieacb, mill owner, lor Treasurer; for State Printer, W. M. Hand, an editor; for School Superintendent, M. M. Oglesby. The platform de nounces corruption, state and National; demands that officials devote their whole time to the public service; favors regula tion of railway tan II by the .Legislature: condemns monopoly in the sale of school books; condemns absorption of large tracts of land by speculators; considers Denton al character the criterion as to fit ness for office, and indorses the Granger opposition to extortion. It is alleged that onehall the press oi me otate win indorse the ticket, lhe convention was cnthusi astic, and is said to have been devoid of wire-pulling, each delegate avowing an honest purpose to adopt principles and Select candidates that would command respect Tbb Postmaster General decide that the mere heading of a printing sheet as supplement to a newspaper does not make it a bona fait supplement. To en title an additional publication to be cl ed as a supplement, it mast be made n of matter germane to that of the regular, bat crowded out for want of room. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL MT. VERNON. Bnslnesn, the Weallier and the Cm-; Made. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Mt.Veknon, April 17. The day has been raw and chilly, necessitating warm bricks for the feet of the crusaders who are so unfortunate as to be upon the spy detail for the day. The newly-elected Mayor, Captain T. P. Frederick, will be sworn in to-morrow. ' Mr. Frederick is a very fair and candid man, will make a good Mayor, and is not too timid nor too modest to do his duty. We predict that be will Badly disappoint those fanatical crusaders, who expect him to pursue witli tire-brand and sword, all who may differ with him in respect to the proper method of eradicating an acknowledged evil. Mr. Frederick will administer the law as he finds it, without the aid of song and prayer. Business seems to be improving here and money easier. The firm of C. & G. Cooper, who employ the largest number of hands of any establishment in the city, are running full time, and have manv orders in advance. Mrs. Kobert Thompson, the most eminent of the crusaders and leader of the element here, recently returned from a trip to Mansfield, whither she went to stimulate the flagging zeal of the adherents to the movement in that city. Mrs. Thompson is a very intellectual and zealous woman, and talks well withal. ANTI-INFLATION. The President and the Senate Currency Bill. Veto of the Nlll Sollcllcd by a New York Committee The President Stales 111 View, Leaving III Action to be Inferred Ills Mcslre to Deal Fairly with all Sections. Washington, April 17. The committee appointed to present to the President a petition signed by about 2-500 hankers, capitalists and merchants of New York, asking him to veto the Senate finance bill, or any other bill tending to inflate the currency, discharged their mission to-day. Besides the committee there were present Senators Carpenter, Logan and Ferry of Michigan. Cyrus W. Field presented the petition. A. A. Law in his address said they wanted the veto to avert what they regard as a most disastrous blow to the credit of the country, and was followed by S. S. Chittenden. The President iu reply said he had watched the progress of the bill through Congress with more interest than he had any other measure before that body since he had been President. He had at all times been entirely free in the expressions of his views, and was always opposed to expansion without rcdemptiou und in favor of free hanking accompanied with such legislation as would carry out the pledges of Congress and the party in the direction of resumption of siiecie payments. But he had tu look at this matter a little different from the views of this committee. They show very well what they want, and may imagine, as he might were ho a citizen of New York, that the whole counj try wants what they do. The President observed that the chairman of a similar committee from Boston called on him yesterday. If he ever could be in favor of inllatibn it would be from the effects of such arguments as that gentleman advanced against it, hut that position was an unkind one to this committee from New York. The gentleman from Boston, in behalf of those whom he represented, started with a condemnation of what he (the President) had always believed to be right. Speaking as if lie were wrong, they opposed the purchase of United States bonds with surplus from. the United States Treasury, and if he had acted as the Boston committee wanted him to, he would have kept such surplus in the treasury until there was not a greenback in ciiculation. hese bonds were purchased at Ills own direction. Another argument was used in the Boston memorial, that the issue of greenbacks was of doubtful legality, was to be deplored and bad to be sustained by a bare majority of one in the Supreme Court as a war issue. In conclusion the President repeated that his views on this question were already known as against lnllation, and as opposed to breaking away from redemption of pledges. SUMNER'S SUCCESSOR. Finale or the Massachusetts Sena- toilnl NtriiKvleUovernor Waab-burne Elected till the Thirty third Ballot. Boston, April 17. Thirtvsecond bal lot: Whole number of votes cast 265; necessary to a choice 133. Dawes 72, Hoar 75, Curtis o, Adams 10, Wash-bnrne 10, Banks 12, Loring 3, Pitman, Whitlier, Sanford, Hale and Phillips 1 each. Kecess. At a meeting of Dawes men before the session opened at 2 o'clock a ballot for candidates other than Dawes resulted in 36 votes for Dr. Loring and 14 for Washburne, part of which were for Jsmory Washburne and part for Governor Washburne. lhe rest were scattering, Judge Bennett receiving Bonie votes. During the recess a communication was received from Dawes men proposing a union on the name of Dr. Loring, which was re jected by Hoar men by an almost unani mous vote. Another proposition was received from the Dawes men that the Hoar men should pass a resolution complimentary to Dawes, and the Dawes men would then withdraw their man. They also proposed that one more ballot be taken to-day, and that the Convention then adjourn to Saturday. Joth these propositions were voted down. Sprasue, of Parmingham, moved that Hoar men should stick to Judge Hoar, but finally withdrew the motion. lhe thirtvthird and final ballot was taken when the Convention assembled af ter recess. Mr. Sodman, of Boston, moved to proceed at once to ballot, which carried, and the roll was called. After the roll was first called there began an immediate change of voles, which lasted nearly half an hour, all of them in favor of Governor Washburne. The result was as follows : Whole number of votes 262; neoessarv to a choice 131; V illiam B. Washburne 151, Curtis 64, Dawes 26, Adams 15, Loring 4, Banks 4, Wendell Phillips 1, tstphen X. GiHord 1, John U Whiltier 1. The President stated that it appears William B. Washburne is chosen senator, and declared the Convention adjourned.An informal meeting of Boston stock holders of the Cincinnati, Sandusky and Cleveland railroad was held at Boston Thursday, at which the President presented a report of the Sloane investigation, and a vote was passed looking toward rendering stock held in the Columbus, Springfield and Cincinnati railroad available as assets.

Little Bock, Abk., April 17. During the warlike movements of last night Colonel Roe, commandant of the United States Arsenal, brought a company down, stationing them at the corner of Main and Fourth streets, and sent word to each side that, while he had no orders to interfere in behalf of either party, he was directed to prevent bloodshed. The company returned to the Arsenal at daylight this morning, there appearing to be no immediate danger. Governor Baxter has contracted his lines to the vicinity of the Anthony House, and is now proceeding as before to exercise the duties of Governor, making the Anthony House the Capitol for the time being. This morning the private secretaries of both Brooks and Baxter applied at the postofhee for mail matter addressed to the Governor of Arkansas. The postmaster declined to deliver to either party, and telegraphed to Washington for instructions.Governor Baxter haB issued the following proclamation : Executive Omct, Lira. Rocs, Ahk , April 10, 1874. j To the People of Arkansas : An insurrection, organized in the interest of certain parties disappointed in an attempt to secure the influence of the Executive for proposed frauds in the approaching election, has effected the seizure of the Capitol, and now attempts to usurp the functions of the government. The armed sentries and loaded cannon which for the moment support the usurpation within the precincts of the Stale House, have not been deemed requisite to the maintenance of organized government. The unexpected and forcible occupation of the building could not at the instant be successfully resisted. Aversion to unnecessary bloodshed has, for a few hours, withheld the arm of the State government from immediate vindication of its right and dignity. Forbearance has seemed only to embolden the impudence of the handful of insurgents. Forbearance, therelore, is at an end. General orders No. 1, from headquarters of the militia of Arkansas, of date correspondent wilh that of this proclamation, declares martial law in the county of Pulaski. It ia due the people of the State that the circumstances which have tendered necssa-ry this course of action be published. At the election of 1872 I was returned Governor of Arkansas, At a late stage of the session of the Legislature, chosen at the same time', my opponent, Joseph Brooks esq , sought his sole legitimate and constitutional method of redress, had he been injured in the decision of the election by an appeal to the representatives of the ieople. The appeal was sum-.marily rejected. Application was then made to the highest judicial authority of the Slate, the Supreme Court, for a writ of oko warranto, which should determine my right to the oflice of Governor. In that case, as in the suit instituted for the office of Auditor of State, the highest judicial tribunal of Arkansas decided that under the supreme organic law of the Slate the determination of the question of election of State officers is exclusively vested in the Legislature, Public excitement was allayed, the Slate settled itself to quiet under an administration which I trust has not been unfaithful to its professions or obnoxious to the people. Meantime a proceeding had been instituted before a Circuit Court of a county for the possession of the oflice of Governor. 1 do not care at present to comment upon the question of authority of such court to adjudicate a matter from the decision of which the Supreme Court of the Slate had, upon unconstitutional grounds, not merely shrunk, but affirmatively denied its own jurisdiction. The Pulaski Circuit Court did clandestinely assume, upon a demurrer filed in court, but never submitted to the court for its action, to render judgment of ouster against the officer who for fifteen months had exercised the functions of Chief Magistrate of the State. The judgment was rendered upon the call of the contestants attorney, in viola tion of the express agreement or counsel that the case should not be taken up in the absence of the representatives of either party. It was rendered, therefore, in point of fact, without the knowledge or even the suspicion of the Governor or of his counsel. In pursuance of a plot already matured in anticipation of the decision of the Circuit Court, the conspirators, forgetting in their haste that no writ ot ouster had ever tieen issued, tie-took themselves to the room where the Chief Justice of the State, the sole dissenter from the decision of the Supreme Court in the matter, awaited them by pre vious appointment, and then, armed with the Chief Justices' attestation to Brooks's oath of office, proceeded forcibly to eject from the State House the Chief Magistrate oi the commonwealtu. Appeal lies, of course, to the Supreme Court of the State. That Supreme Court has already, in a case involving the point at issue, determined that no court has the authority to decide the validity of the election of any executive officer of the State. It need hardly be remarked that pending an appeal the effect of the judg ment of the Circuit Court of Pulaski county is suspended, and that the undertaking to sustain the enforcement of that judgment, pending the appeal, ia without color ol law or moral palliation, lhe forcible ejection of the Chief Magistrate from the premises was loliowed hy p rear-ran Bed and prompt summons to armed desperadoes to bar all access to the State House ot its legitimate occupants. Mr. Brooks has issued a paper entitled a proclamation, in which he distinctly announces his intention of bloodshed. The Executive of the Slate has but one obligation to perform, that to which he is bound alike by his dutv as a citizen rnd his official alh. The authority of the law will be immediately and effectively asserted, peaceably if it may be, but asserted in any event. The government proposes to occupv the Capitol as Gover nor of Arkansas. I appeal to the people of the State to support the government of the state against shameless usurpation, L'nder the solemn obligation of my oath of office, I renew my promise to be true to them. 1 ask Irom them the support which they owe to their Chief Magis trate. tXISlIA BAXTER, Governor of Arkansas. Second Dispatch. Lrrn.e Rock, April 17. This morning Judge Wheelockaentanote to the Clerk of the Circuit Court, stating that he had been advised by the Sheriff that it would be unsafe for him to come to the Circuit room on Markham street, and requesting the Clerk to bring the records up to the State House. Governor Baxter's attorneys were also notified. These gentlemen declined to pass through Brooks's guard into the State House, where the County Clerk's office is located, to attend court.' The Judge then moved to the Criminal Court room, just opposite, but they could not get through. Judge Wheelock then overruled the motion to set aside judgment in the Brooks-Baxter case, and sustained a motion to amend the record so as to show the demurer was submitted without knowledge of Baxter or bis attorneys. The bar held a meeting to-day, and passed several resolutions against Whipple, Brooks's attorney, for bisnon-professional conduct, and also against the court for its action in the abseucc of the Governor's couasel. During the morning, General T. P. Dockery was appointed Military Governor of the city, and issued the following order : . Hkadq.'sj Milit&rt Government or Crrv, ' Little Hock, April 17, 174. General Order No. 1. The Command er-in-chief of the militia of the Stale of Arkansas has appointed me Military Gov ernor of the city of Little Bock. All male citizens between the ages ol 18 and 45 are hereby ordered immediately to report for duty at these headquarters, south east corner of Markham aud Scott streets. Failure of prompt compliance wilh the requirements of this order is not expected from patriotic citizens, and the consequences of Buch failure must rest with those who omit. Tom. P. Dockeby, Brigadier General and Military Governor of the City of Little Kock. Since the issuance of this order the people have been rapidly enrolling. An address, signed by nearly all tho leading citizens of Little Rock, was issued to-dav reciting the circumstances attending the contest between Brooks and Baxter for the office of Governor, and invoking the aid of the people of the State in Baxter's effort to repossess himself of his authority and lunctions. Governor Baxter is still at the Anthony House with a guard stalioned there. Mr. Brooks is at the State House, surrounded by a large number of men, mostly colored, lie is fortifying the place and preparing for a siege. The United Slates Circuit Court ad journed to-day till the first Monday in May, and Judge Dillon leaves for st. Louis to-night. The first arrest was by the Baxter troops, who arrested one of Brooks's Lieutenants this morning while passing near the Baxter headquarters, and sent him to the guard house. Brooks's forces have not apparently been augmented by any considerable number. Baxter's officers are enrolling men rapidly, and public feeling is generally in his favor. The United States troops occupied a position at the United States court-room last night, in the center of the city, to preserve peace, und will occupy a similar station to-night. Baxter's forces, have taken possession of the different gun stores and the arms and ammunition in them, STORM AND FLOOD. Illicit Wa'erln lhe Lower Mississippi Additional Crevasses und More Bnln.

In the District of Columbia investigation this morning, George R. Chittenden, of Chicago, read a sworn statement wilh reference to his connection wilh the contract of De-Golyer and McClcllan for laying one hundred thousand Bquare yards of wood pavement in this city. In it he denied that any money was used by him for corrupt purposes. He was tiuestioned sharply in relation to the distribution of the 'J7,U00 paid film by UeUolyer and McClellan. lie said he gave Jia.uuu io Mr. Parsons, and $10,000 to Colville Brown, and that one Colonel Kirtland purchased not amounting to $72,000. He said he did not know what influence Brown or Kirtland used, that he paid them money without knowing whether they used any influence at all on their own uncorroborated statement that their influence had secured the contract. THE CABINET was a longer time in session to-day than for several months past. All the members were prei-ent. It was stated that Baxter, of Arkansas, had seized the telegraph line to prevent the Brooks party from using it, and accordingly instructions had been issued by the War Department, by an officer at Diivall's Bluff, to proceed to Little Kock and investigate the matter, and to see that telegrams to and from the Government shall not he intercepted. MAIL FOR, THE TWO GOVERNORS. Postmaster General Creswell, in re sponse to a telegram of the ostmaster at Little IIock, received to-day, instructed him as follows: "Letters addressed to Governor Baxter, Governor of Arkansas, should be delivered to Baxter; letters addressed to Governor Breoks, or to Brooks, Governor of Arkansas, should be delivered to Brooks. You will retain all commu nications addressed to the Governor of Arkansas until further orders." SENATE CURRENCY BILL. The President related to the Cabinet the particulars of the interview to-day be tween himselt and the Jew lorK com niittee. In this connection the Senate Finance bill was discussed, the President explaining his views at length, but what they were cannot be ascertained, it la the belief generally that the President will approve the bill. GOING OUT OF COMMISSION. Orders have been given to put the United States shine Shenandoah and Unard, at New York, and the Franklin, at Boston, out of commission, and to di charge such men as have already served their term ot enlistment. COLORADO GOVERNORSHIP. The Senate was occupied nearly an hour in discussion over lhe nomination of Edwin McCook to be Governor of Col orado territory, bnt did not reach a vote. SENATOR MORTON had an interview with the President be fore the meeting of the Cabinet to-day. XLIII Congress First Session. Washington, April 17. N EN ATE. Mr. Sherman presented a preamble and resolutions adopted at a large meeting of uiu6eiiB ui vjiuciiuiau, protesting against any inflation of the currency. Referred. Mr. Scott called up the bill to provide for purchase of bonds of the Louisville and Portland Canal company. Mr. Conkling said he did not accept the suggestion that this wob a local question. It full to the lot of the State of New York to pay onesixth of the tax gathered in the Union, as she had within her borders one-eleventh of (he population of the country, and he need not apologize for raising his voice against buying a canal and probably a lawsuit, or an assortment of them. Mr. Stevenson said the United States had appropriated already over one million dollara for this work, and the contest was not between Kentucky and the United States. Kentucky had pledged her faith to surrender her jurisdiction over the canal to the United States. The question now was whether the United States, having paid so much money, should not take possession of the work. No one made any objection, with the exception of five trustees who levied $30,000 annually and were accountable to no one. The whole commerce of the Ohio Valley demanded that the Government should take possession of the canal. ' The State of Kentucky has never received a dollar from tax on the property. The amendment proposed by the Senate Finance committee, to strike out the provision that the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay no money and the Secretary of War shall not take possession of the work till the State of Kentucky shall cede to the United States jurisdiction over the canal and relinquish to the United States lhe right to tax or in any way to have access to said canal during the time the Government may remain in possession thereof, was agreed to. Pending the discussion the morning hour expired and the Senate resumed consideration of the Louisiana bill. Mr. Hamilton of Maryland moved that when the Senate adjourn to-day it be . to meet on Monday next. Agreed to. Mr. Scott said alter Senator Tipton should conclude his speech on the "Louisiana" bill he would ask the Senate lo resume consideration of theLouisville-Portland Canal bill. At the conclusion of Mr. Tipton's remarks the Senate went into Executive session and soon after ad journed. HOUSE. Mr. Morey introduced a joint resolution for furnishing rations of forage and clothing to people suffering from inundation from overflow of the Mississippi and tributaries. He addressed the House on the subject, and said the present inundation was greater than any that had hap-jiened since 1847, that the people never were more destitute, and the number needing aid was from ten to fifteen thousand.Mr. Cox remarked that the Government might as well be called upon to furnish aid to forty thousand starving people in New York city. After some discussion the joint resolution was referred to the committee on Military Affairs, with leave to report at any time. The Bubject of precedence of business drew a remark from the Speaker that more time had been devoted to private bills this session than at any session for fifteen yeara past, and he suggested that the rule setting apart Friday and Saturday of each week for private bills', ought to be changed, as the practical effect of it was to take twotifths of the time of the House from public business and give it to private business. Mr. Dawes asked leave to offer a resolution setting apart Saturday only for private business until otherwise ordered. Mr. Randall objected unless the resolution was referred to the committee on Rules. The upshot of the discussion was that the House refused to go either into committee of the Whole on the private calendar or committee of the Whole on state of the Union, and instead, proceeded to business of the morning hour, whiclrwas call of committees for reports of a private character. The House having refused to go into committee of the Whole on the private calendar, went into committee of the Whole on" the state of the Union Mr. Wood in the chair on the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation.! bill, the question being an amendment offered by Mr. Butler of Massachusetts, that after March, 1875, the publication of laws in newspapers shall not cease. The Chair ruled the amendment out of order, from which ruling Mr. Butler appealing, the ruling was sustained. The item appropriating $50,000 for postage Btamps for the State Department reopened the subject of franking. Mr. Butler proposed to appropriate only one thousand dollars for furnishing postage stamps at the cost ot manufacture, and Mr. Ward proposed to have official documents sent through the mails free. Mr. Garfield opposed both propositions, and advocated the propriety of each Department paying its own post age. Mr. Butler stated that the fostothce Department had a portion of its business carried through the mails free, and Mr. Dawes corroborated that statement by the assertion that large boxes of postal cards were sent every day from Springfield, Mass., to different parts of the country free through the mails. Mr. Willard ottered an amendment to make it read, "for furnishing official stamps to an amount not exceeding $o0, 000.'f Mr. Garfield appealed to the committee either to restore the franking privilege openly and squarely or else take exactly I lie opposite course, and let the rostomce Department sell its stamps to all comers at a lair value. After considerable discussion, Mr. Wil lard's amendment was adopted. A long discussion occurred in reference to clerical force in the Treasury department, Mr. Garfield making an elaborate explanation of the bill, and Mr. Beck at tacking the Administration for extravagance in the conduct of public business. Alr.tv ard suggested an amendment providing that no more should be given to male employes than to female employes for like service, while Mr. Niblack sug gested that female employes should be classified as other clerks are. All that was accomplished after a long discussion, was the reduction of the salary of Chief Clerk aud seven other principal clerks of the Tressury Department from $3000 to $2500. The committee then, af ter getting through one page of the bill rose and tbe House adjourned. Reports of small-pox on Black well's Island turn out to be part of a conspirarv on the part of W, M. Tweed's friends to secure his exemption Irom the prison discipline of other convicts. Two of the convicts confess that their eruptions were due to Croton oil. The banquet to General Schenck last night was one of the largest and most brilliant ever given in Dayton. In response to a toast, the General spoke at considerable length, eulogizing President Grant, the Queen of England, and the English people.

A Havana letter says Frederick Dockery, ex-United States District Attorney at Key West, about the clumsiest individual to have been sent on any mission requiring a deal of tact, has come to grief, owing to his Btupidity in supposing he had the right to go about as he pleased. It is said he came here on a mission from General Quesada, trying to arrange matters with Cespedes in the interior, and fix things so that Qnesada could land with an expedition. On the 6th instant, all tattered and torn, Dockery presented himself at the office of the United States Consular agent in Nuevitas, telling him he had just come from the insurrection and was desirous of surrendering to the Spanish authorities, undoubtedly thinking that he would at once receive a passport to go hack- to Key West. The Consul went .with him to the military governor of the place, and he referred the subject to lien-eral Partillo, who ordered that Dockery and the Consul be placed in solitary confinement. Concha ordered the release of the Consul, but approved of acourt-martial to try Dockery as a spy. On Thursday following the court-martial sentenced him to death, and the case was submitted to General Concha, who, it is rumored, intends to spare his life as a matter of courtesy toward the United States. A line of large and swift screw steamers iB to be put upon the Rhine. It is said the Concha has declined a proposition to take 8000 men to Ssn Sebastian and attack the Carlists at Bilboa in the rear. The Chilian coasting steamer Tacna capsized at sea and was lost March 14. Nineteen persons perished, two of the crew escaping. Baron Seaborn, the newly appointed Austrian Ambassador to the United States, will leave for Washington the latter part of May. The Eagle Line steamship Goethe, which left Hamburg Thursday for New York, is aground in the Elbe. Her cylinder is broke. A terrific gale has raged in the English Channel the past three days. Many ships, names unknown, have been wrecked and all on board lost. The Porte haa authorized the Khedive of Egypt to keep the Suez Canal in work ing order should M. DeLesseps persist in his refusal to abide by the decision of the International Commission. The aeereeate income of the English life insurance offices is $77,000,000; their total accumulated funds amount to $ob0,- 000,000, and the policies in force represent nearly $1,750,000,000.
