April 6.—The annual meeting of
the Friends of the American Tract
Society, was held in the first Pres-bytenan
Church this evening. As-sociate
Justice Strong, of the U. S.
Supreme Court, President of the So
ciety, presided. Secretaries Rand
and Shearer read the reports of the
Society’s work. J. E- Vassar, Gen
Gordon, of Georgia, and Dr. Rankin
delivered addresses.
Under the call of the States at
large, number of bills introduced and
referred. Johnson, of Virginia, intro-duced
a bill giving jurisdiction to the
Court of Claims, to hear the case ol
G. W. Custis Lee to the Arlington
estate. Referred to the judiciary
Committee.
The House Committee on Agvicul-ture
unanimously instructed their
chairman to report the bill passing
free, through mails, seeds, cuttings
and plants from the Agricultural De-partment.
Senator Sprague’s fine house here,
has been seized in bankruptcy.
The Agricultural Committo hav«
agreed to report a bill to the effect
that cattle shall not be kept on car*
more than twenty-four hours without
food and water.
Secretary Richardson will slick if
he can.
The South Carolina delegation had
a hearing this morning before the
House Sub-Judiciary Committee,
Whitmore delegation was also pres-ent,
including Congressmen Elliott,
Gov. Porter and Col. Leathers.
Kershaw addressed the committee
on Grievances. Trt main, of the sub-committee,
expressed a desire to dis-cover
some justification for the inters
position by Congress in domestic af-fairs
of a soverigu State in the U^nion.
Porter pointed out that the present
anamalous government is a creature
of Congress; that since its estab-lishment
Congress has legislated to
protect persons when it was alleged
the State authorities neglected to do
so. Now it is allegad that there is
omission of authorities to protec!
property, and the same right exists
m Congress to Legislate on property
in danger of confiscation as formerly,
to protect persons from alleged Ku-
Klux conspiracies. This is conspiracy
against property impressing on the
Committee favorably.
The following delegation of promis
nent citizens ol South Carolina has
reached this city to present to the
[’resident and Congress a statement
in answer to one recently presented
by the so-called tax-payers : Lieuten
ant Governor Gleaves, Hon. G. L.
Carlleso, Hon. D. H. Chamberlain.
L. C. Carpenter, A, Swsuls, II. G.
Worthington, B. F. Whittemore, .T.
S. N eagles, T. J. Powers, and T. B.
Johnson. These gentlemen claim to
oe able to refute the statements mad»
by the memorilists and to show con
uiusively that South Carolina has no
only a Republican form of govern
ment, but that a large majority 01
iier citizens, white and black, neithei
seeknoi desire interference from tin
United States Government. The
daim that the memorialists represeir
no considerable body of citizens 01
either party, neither tax-payers 01
politicians, and that it is the sam-struggle
that has been going on evei
since reconstruction. It is simply a
fight between tbe outs aud the ins.
An interview with the President will
take place on Tuesday, when a for
mal presentation ®f the answer tc
the memorialists is to be made. Sev
eral interviews have already beer,
had with prominenUmembors of both
branches of Congress.
From Connecticut.
Hartford, April 6.—it is impos-sible
to give anything definite about
the result of the election. The
weather is fine and traveling good,
but the vote will not be a heavy one
in this city. It is probable that the
Democratic majority will be from
four to five hundred lor Governor,
but there is a chance of the election
of a Republican Mayoi.
The Prohibition vote in the State
will be much larger than last year.
Advices to-day show that the Pro-hibitionists
are working hard in seye*
ral localities.
It is generally thought there will
be no election lor Governor by the
people.
New Haven, April 'a—.Nbtwiths
standing the fine weather the vote in
j the city is light. Harrison, Repttblt-
I can, for Governor, runs well, and will
I nearly equal Ingersoll here. The
Gallagher Democracy cast a. vote of
800, all for Harrison. L. B. Morns,
Democrat, for Senator, will probably
be elected. The struggle is over.
The election for representatives is
very close, and probably onu from
each ticket will be"elected.
The Prohibitionists are polling a
large vote; about three times that of
last year in this ci*|L If voting is of
the same character throughout the
——-t- si' i —■gaeg*
State it is likely that t’he State ticket
will be thrown in the Legislature.
From Illlsol*.
Chicago, April 6.—Six inches of
snow fell to-day.
Twenty vessels, mostly laden with
umber, have arrived at this port
• iuce yesterday morning.
At Quincy. Illinois, to-day, a band
it forty ladies started on a orusade
among saloons and with no effect be-yond
attracting a motley crowd of
curious followers, as they were denied
admittance in the saloons.
V From Nctv York*
April 6.—During an alteroation,
which took place last mght at their
residence, on Thompson street, R.
Kicklan, aged 19, was stabbed by his
orother and mortally wounded. The
wounded man stated to the Coroner,
that his brother was blameless, as he
himself had been the aggressor.
The Pacific Mail Company, yester*
day, decided to contract for new iron
steamers lor the Pacific trade, one or
more of which will be built at Ches-ter,
Pennsylvania.
The Coroner’s inquest into the
cause of the death of Mary Felham
resulted in a verdict that the de*
ceased came to her death lrom crimii
nal malpractice at the hands of Dr.
Busellan, and that Wm, H. Painter
was an accessory.
In consequence of disclosures that
Tweed, instead of occupying a con-vict’s
cell in Blackwell’s Island Pent-*
tentiary, is in possession of a oomfort-able
room in the center building of
the institution, fitted up for his com-fort,
his secretary says he was
given a room and a little more liberty
than other prisoners from purely hu-manitarian
reasons; it became a
juestion with the authorities as to
whether or not some relaxation of
prison discipline in his case was not
necessary as an absolute necessity of
health. He is already mill health;
his sentence had a crushing effect on
his nervous system and his conditisn
is tru'y pitiable, no prisoner in the
penitentiary feeling his punishment
so keenly. If it was insisted upon
that he should be confined in a cell,
one would, have) to be constructed
specially for him, as his size would
preclude the possibility of his living
in ordinary ones ; in fact if strict diss
cipline was enforced in his «ase hia
sentence to imprisonment in the pens
itentiary would be equivalent to sen-tence
to death.

was attended during his trial by the
Bishop of Kansas. Six of the court

Ex-Judge Edmunds, a well known

Bayonne, April 4.—Active opera-dons
in front of Bilboa were resumed
on the 3d inst., with bombardment of
Amante by the Republican forces.
Previous to that date, there had
been no fighdug since the 28th of
Marce. ,
Serano h reorganising his forces,

Gen. Tristany is reported to’ have

Barcelona, The surprise “was so
complete that the Republicans sur-<
rendered without fighting.
FROM LONDON.
London, April U,—Prof. Gold win
Smith has along letter to the News
oa home rule. He advocates,general
improvement of local institutions,and
giving to them legislative powers
tor the administration of local affairs
similar to those of the Legislature of
American States.
As for all other things, they are mortal
arid transient; truth alone is unchangea-bleanfl
everlasting; the benefits we re-ceive
from it are subject to no variations
or vicissitudes of time and fortune. In
her judgment is no unrighteousness, and
she is the strenghth, wisdom, power and
majesty of all ages. Blessed be the God
of Truth.
