NEWS VIA NEW YORK.


NEW YORK, May 1.-The Heralds
special says that casual conversation
to-day between Secretary Seward and
a gentleman from Virginia may throw
some light on the formers opinion
concerning reconstruction and Mexi-
co. Mr. Seward says he had lately
received a letter which had been forty
days on the way, advising him to act
atiouslE In the Fgepeh and Nleyican
inbrogli0, because 0f the strong is1'Ba
liability of commencement of hos
tilities between the North and South,
The writer assured Mr.. Seward, so far
as Virginia was concerned, he need
have no apprehensions. The Secre-
tary replied that so far as any part of
the country is concerned it has, had
enough to last it for long time. q An
intelligent and virtuous woman who
has taken the first step in life of
shame never ceases to deplore her
misfortune, but through Incidence
continues to take many such down
ward steps as long as she lives. Such
a country as Mexico may be given
over to political revolutions and war,
but virtuous, enlightened and exc m
plary country like the United States,
will not be likely to repeat such folly
very often.
In view of the approaching hot and
sickly seasenin the Capital, rooms are
being fitted up for the President and
his family at the Continental Hotel,
Long Branch, New Jersey; the family
will probably repair there early. Ileav-
ing the President to follow on the ad-
journment of Congress. :.

sued in a day ar two, will show q de-
crease of about six millions during

A memorial from Assistant Mar
shall O Bryne, and those employed
under him has been presented1to the
House by Darling; asking for change
of the awards recently made by the
Secretary of War, for the capture of
Booth and his conspirators. Great
dissatisfaction may naturally prevail
among those who, feeling themselves
entitled to share of the reward, find
they are entirely ignored. The Times
special says the dispatch to the effect
that the Senate Committee ON ocOm-
merce had unanimously agreed to re-
port the name of Mr.. Symthe for con-
frmation as Collector Of the Port Of
New York, turns out to be premature,
although | thought my authority was
worthy of credit. The Chairman of
that Committee, Mr.. Chandler, was
to-day canyassing for the feelings of
the House members of the New J ork
delegation, few of whom are not fa-
vorable to Mr.. Smythe. f' igsA

The PhIladeIDhin murder.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1s.-The grand
jury this mornig found a true bill OF
Indictment against Antoine Probst for
the murder of the bearing family: The
arraigned at O'Clock this afternoon.
After much legal delay, the prisoner
having no counsel, the court assigned
him Messrs. John P. O'Neill and ]. @.
A. Albost. They prisoner ut first sta
ted that he did not wish to have any de-
tense at all, but subsequently with
drew his objections to having counsel.
Alter consultation with the prisoner,
Mr.. O'Neill asked that the arraignment
be postponed until himself and his col
lege could be afforded time to examine
the Indictment. 1t is understood that
the prisoner expressed a willingness to
plead guilty to the count in the bill
charging him with the murder of Cor
nelius Garry. The District Attorney,
however, designs to try him upon the
count charging him with the murder of
Mr.. Deering. This will show the conf
dence of the Commonwealth officer in
the strength of his case, without avail
ing himself of the pretended confession
of the murder,

TORONTO, C. W., April 1s.-The steam

don and New York line, came in collis-
ion with the schooner General S. Van

morning. The schooner struck the
steamer amidship, cutting her through,
the water rising in her lifted her fires
so that they Communicated with the
wood work and entirely destroyed her.
The steamer had about fifty passengers
on board. About forty of whom were
saved by boats from the steamer Elec-
ira, from Providence and were brought
to this city. The remainder are sup
posed TO be lost: The schooner was
abandoned in sinking condition and
her Captain and crew taken on board
the Electra. The Electra laid by the
scene of disaster nearly two hours and
until all was done that could be done
to save the lives of those on board.
