REFUSAL TO PERMIT THE RE.
GENTLY SOLD IRON~CLADS TO
LEAVE NEW ORLEANS
PERU THE ALLEGED
OWNER.

Some days ago, in accordance with the
resolution passed by the House, at the
instance of General Van Wyck, the Sc
cretary of the Treasury gave instructions
to the Collector at New Orleans not to
grant a clearance to either of the IRON
clad vessels, The Oneoto and the Catawba.
The resolution declared. ''There was
reason 10 believe that these vessels were
bought from the Navy Department by
Swift & Co., with the design TO dispose
of and deliver the same TO the govern
ment of Peru, then and now in a state of
war with q friendly power of this govern
ment." Within a day or two past infor-
nation was received hat The vessels were
to be sent out on an experimental cruise
professedly, but in fact to escape to Peru.
Accordingly fresh, instructions have been
transmitted to New Orleans to guard
against such a movement. The Commit
, 1868-07-10

tee or R~etrenchment has this matter un-
der consideration and may soon report
upon the subjrct. 1t has been ascertain
ed that although the original purchase
price was only 1856 900, the vessels have
betn sold TO The Peruvian government for
50, 000, 900 th'ee-fourthS OF which amount
has already been p,id.-Uid.

to the hail have the appearance of having
withstood a thousand discharges of grape
and canister. The roofing Of the entire
city is perforated like a sieve. The hail
stones were of irregular shape and all
sizes, as if a mass of ice had broken above
our devoted heads, and driven by a tor
nado to the earth. One hall-slone was
found weighing over five pounds, while q
great many rs large as a mans fist were
picked up.
Many of the families whose houses
were beaten down took shelter under
beds and tables, and thus escaped bodily
u negro boy several had limbs broken
and were severely bruised, while the
whole population was fri ghtened almost
to death.
The damage is of every character, and
$500, 900 will not cover it all roofs
were universally destroyed and windows
broken in, household furniture was en-
iirely demolished in some houses, and in
many stores the damage was great. The
Menger House was greatly damaged, the
.Kleopper Hotel is almost Il wreck, the
Convent buildings are terribly cut up.
All the blinds and window glass on the
northern side are destroyed. Trenches
building suffered greatly, and in fact, all
buildings having windows to the north.
Gen. MaSon's residence was u~nroofed and
his family exposed to the incltment
storm. But the most distressing picture
Of all are the hahitalions of the poor peo-
pie, their houses battered in, household
goods destroyed aid their little gardens
ruined. The corn patches and gardens
are 1attened TO the ground, and have the
appearance of having passed through a
choping mill. All the fruit crop destroyed.
The storm resembled a terrific battle,
the lightning flashing in fearful vividnesS,
the thunder crashing like u thousand
cannon and the hail falling like shot so
fearful was the noise that no one could
hear unless they screamed in each others
ears. Never in the history of this city,
never in the memory OF the Oldest inhab-
liant, was Just such a storm experienced.
We learn that the hail-slorm com
menced eight miles this side of New
BraunftlS, reached only a short distance
below our city, and extended from five
10 twenty-five miles 10 misunderstanding
everything over a region thirty miles
from north to south and ten to twenty
miles from east to west"

Mrs. S, who resides in Third avenue,
above Twpnty-ninth street, was going
out a few evenings since TO the grocery
TO buy some coffee, and when she return
ed she found a basket hung to the knob
of the door. Putting her hand in to see
what it contained, she felt something
animate. A little surprised at so extra
ordinary a discovery, she Immediately re-
turned INTO the hallway to examine by the
light OF The lamp the mysterious contents.
Pinned to the clothes enwrappiug the
little thing she found a billet addressed
to her husband, which she instantly read,
as follows;
My Dear S.: 1 send you little Tommy,
and hope you will bring him up well.
1t is the pet of its father. All, what an
old playboy you are, making me believe

The House Of Representatives on Mon
day passed the bill making five Of the
Supreme Court Judges quorum; maxi
ing the concurrence of two-thirds Of the
Judges necessary to declare and act of
Congress unconstitutional, and requir-
ing that when any law is pronounced
unconstitutional by District or Circuit
Judge, all proceedings under his decision
shall be suspended till his opinion has
been reaffirmed 10y two-thirds of the full
court. The bill passed by a vote Of ll6
to 80. This will put a stop to the various
attempts about to be made to test the
constitutionality of the Reconstruction
laws. 1t is known that two-thirds of
the Judges of the Supreme Court connot
be got to decide these laws unconstitu-
tional. The bill will probably reach the
Senate to-day, when an effort will be
made to pass it without reference to the
committee.

THE NEWS.

The Senate OH the 18th inst, passed a
resolution reinstating Stanton as Score.
tary of War, by vote of lie yeas, to IS
nays. A resolution was passed directing
the Secretary Of the Senate to notify the
President, General Grant, and Mr.. Stan
! ton of the action taken in the matter
These notifications have been already
delivered, Mr.. Stanton expressed great
satisfaction upu., the receipt Of official
information. Itisun,,, arstood that Gen.
Grant will turn over the once as soon
as Mr.. Stanton presents himself which
it is supposed he will do tomorrow.
In the United States Senate on the
10th, Mr.. Sumner offered resolution
that the amendment to the Constitution,
| permitting States to count only actual
voters when apportioning their repre-
sentatives in Congress, is adopted, the
necessary three-fourths of the States
having ratified it.
The Reconstruction Committee of
Congress has agreed to report several
important amendments to the Recon-
struction laws, the most important of
which is to give General Grant the DOW
er to remove civil officers in the South
and appoint others in their places and
making it misdemeanor on the part of
the President to interfere.
Secretary Seward has reported to Con-
gress that twenty one States have given
official notice Of the ratification of the
lltli article, amending the Constitution.
Maine has ratified, but has not given
notice, and Iowa will doubtless ratify it
at the present session. 1t is intimated
that the Democratic majorities in Ohio
and New Jersey will repeal the action of
their predecessors in this matter.
The Presidents friends say he is con-
sidering the course he will pursue in
case Congress attempts to put any furth-
er power into the hands of General
Grant in connection with the execution
of the Reconstruction laws. They assert
that the President will not submit to
any such action, but will insist upon his
right to issue all orders to military Off
GERS, in virtue Of his constitutional au-
thority rs COMMANDMENTS Chief.
The course of General Meade, the sue
cessor of General Pope. in removing the
Governor and State Treasurer of Geor-
gia, for their refusal to pay the members
of the State Reconstruction Convention,
was under consideration in the Cabinet
at Washington on Tuesday. The Pres
ident desired General Meade's order to
be suspended, but General Grant, who
had approved of the order, declined to
do SO.
The United States Senate, on Mon
day, by vote of So to 6, refused to con-
sent to the Presidents suspension of |
Secretary Stanton. On Tuesday morn
