Mr.. TOuceys conduct in accepting the resig-
natiors of navy officers who have committed

lease when they deserved trial and hanging has
provoked deserved indignation in and out of the

TIE CONSPIRACY TO TAKE THE CAPITAL.
STayor Berrett was examined before the Spe-
cal Committee to-day, concerning the alleged
conspiracy to take the capital. He denied all
knowledge whatever of any organization having
such a purpose, and discredited the suspicion as
without color of truth or probability. His at
t.ni.on had been called to the subject, and after
strenuous and constant efforts to trace it out, be
Wa sati fed oil tie reports were unfounded, and
proceeded from false representations and fears.
TIE TARIFF.
Alter patiently hearing parties representing
10th sides, The Tariff Committee Of the Senate
decided to-day that steel, in ingOts or bars Of
all shapes, invoiced or appraised at cents or
less per pound, should pay u cents per pound
duty; above T. and not exceeding ii, cents
per round; and all other steel, not otherwise
provided for, 20 per cent ad yalorem. Iron
stands 90 in Mr. Morrin's bin, except in the re-
arrangement Of some schedules.
rIn SURRENDER OF TIE PENSACOLA NAVY YARD
Investigation relieves Commodore Armstrong
fOm completely with the surrender of the Pen
sacola Navy Yard. The surgeon and engineer,
who we're with him, fully cOrrObOrate his own
defense. The other officers betrayed their flag
aod disersced themselves Com. Armstrong had
no n,tce Of the approach Of tie invaders until
they reached the yard, He then concealed his
book Of private signals, and after being intro
auced TO the leaders asked to be excused for
short time, and went over to his private resi-
dence where that valuable book was burnt before
returning. The other events followed, and Major
Chase furnished him with passport to leave the
State. He denies having given any parole not to
take up arms against Florida.

which took place this morning, near the line of
Pennsylvania and Delaware, between DR.. j. j.
Jones Of New Orleans, and a gentleman from
Tennessee, named Wilson, the latter was shot in
the hip. DIR. Jones was not injured. The weap-
ons were pistols, the distance ten PAGES. The

Southern Douglas men, by Mr. Wilson, which
DR.. Jones resented. The latter was Secretary
