TIL. Proceeding. In Congress.

The Senate yesterday, after passing the
House resolution relative to the Oneida aud
Bombay disaster, fell into very unsecmiy
wrangling over the comparative services Of
the troops of New York, Massachusetts, Penn.
sylyania and Ohio in defending the capital
early In 1861. The trouble arose from Mr..
Camcron's proposing q memorial to the
Massachusetts, aud Pennsylvania regiments
that passed through Baltimore on the
18th Of April; but he found him
self attacked on cll sides by the armed
cohorts of New York, Ohio, New Jersey and
Delaware, the latter in the person OF Senator
Salisbury, and finally had to let the resolution
60 to the Military Committee. Those brave
old veterans of the war, Nye and Salisbury,
enjoyed themselves during the discussion in
shouldering the crutches with which they
hastened from the sound of the enemy's can
non and fighting their battles over again. The
Georgia bill came up and rendered the Senate
unhappy for the rest Of the day by giving
occasion to Sumner for long argument.
The proceedings In the House were of less
than the average tameness, being enlivened
by no such display as that Of Saulsbury's and
Nye's patriotic belligerency, nor 'sombercd

The bill disseminating the Freedmens Bureau,
which was passed, seems to have been the
only enactment worth mentioning, although
tho shell of extremely important legislation
was broken by Mr.. Butler, in asking leave to
introduce a joint resolution to annex the re-
public of Dominica. Mr.. Wood objected but
delay is not especially dangerous in this case,

War TcueSrams from AbyssInia.
Major General Lord Napier Of Magdala has
concluded his Testimony before the English
Parliamentary COMMITTEES appointed to investt-
gate the cost and mode Of conduct Of the war
in Abyssnia The old hero has Just been
on tho scientific side Of the question. In
reply to Lord Elcho he says-
recommended the use OF submarine cablo to tho
been laid down in time; bat II we had had il it
would have saved good dc& or expense aud ot
anxiety, and enabled US TO nave our wants supplied
moro quickly tnan they were under tle other ar
rang6mentS.
Just so. Lord Napier comprehends the
''quickstep" of the age, and was anxious to
smark time" aud 60 forward ia order" with
it's advance. No doubt he has been reading
again Of the news fsats which we accomplished
by electricity during the progress of his bril-
liant campaign in Africa. He has learned the
truth that after his grand victory on the
Heights OF Magdala the HERALD special corr
respondent at his headquarters forwarded .

conveyed to Alexandria that it was tele-
graphsd thence to Europe, despatched through
the Atlantic cable to New York, reached

London, where it was delivered at Horse

which the British War Office had Of the
ohivalrous action and endurance and triurn-
Dbal huzzas OF her Maiestv's soldiers before
aud in the stronghold Of King Theodorus. Ths
news was regarded as being "too good to be
true" when 1t appeared In an extra Of the
leading London journal; but Lord Napier's

hand some time afterwards confirmed tho
HERALD telegram In every particular. No
wonder that Lord Napier says:.-'T recom-
mended the use Of submarine cable TO tho

SO it would We rejoice that the HERALD
was enabled to save the Queen, the Stock

relatives OF the brave Europeans who fought
in Abyssina from participating in this
''anxiety." Lord Napier got the pserags al

Of world wide appreciation Of our enter
prise in obtaining news. We are perfectly
satisfied, and hope that his Lordship Of Mag

Tho Wur In Venezuela.

Revolutions follow 80 closely ON the heels of
each other In Venezuela that the suppression
Of one is barely made public before another
breaks out. Only few brief moaths since
the announcement was made that the insurrec-
ton, of which General Pulgar was the central
figure, was brought 10 close, and that peace
had been restored once again to the republic.
Now the storm Of revolution again RACES and
is making considerable Roadway in spite
of the opposition which the government
is able TO bring against it. The present rising
is headed by Antonio Guzman Blauco, who
for months has been inlaming the minds of
the Venezuelans by revolutionary proclama-
tions, issued from the island of Curacoa
Forced TO leave the island by the Dutch authori-
ties, he entered Venezuela, and is now the
leading rebel against President Mouagas.
The latest accounts from Caracas are most
gloomy. Not only have the discontented spirits
throughout the republic manifested their desire
to espouse the cause of Blanco and endeavor by
all means in their power to place him in the
Presidential chair, but numerous army has
taken the field in his favor, and even now is
advancing on the capital. The road from
Caracas to Laguayra is held by the rebels.
Monagas has met with defeat, and has been
obliged with his feet to fall back TO Puerto
Cabello. We find in these continual revolu
tions in this unfortunate country an answer to
the question why Venezuela does not pay the
legitimate claims of foreigners against her.
The resources Of the country are absorbed in
suppressing tho risings of unprincipled and
reckless demagogues, and the government is
thus rendered unable, even ii willing, to dis
charge its just debts

Tue irish Tenants Csmpeasasisa Clause
Passed.

The Irish Land bill Is progressing satisfac-
toriy In the English Parliamentary COM
mittee. Premier Gladstone offered an amend
meat to the measure yesterday In the shape
OF provision allowing evicted tenants COM
pensation for loss Of their holdings, the amount
OF damages to be assessed by court COM
missioned for the purpose. This declara-
ton gave rise to q very animated debate
Its adoption was opposed by the tories,
aristocratic wings and more liberal feu-
dalists. The amendment was carried, how
ever, by vote of 293 to 1872. This Is the
very. essential, vital principle Of the measure,
the point which has been contended for by the
Irish people from the time of the Volunteers In
1889 down to that Of the late Sharman
Crawford, and thence to the formation Of the
present Gladstone Cabinet compensation for
solid improvements to the outgoing tenants.
Having gained this point we hope to hear of
rapid Improvement in the social condition Of
the Irish peasantry. The working Of the
clause will have decided effect on the emf
grafton from Ireland movement.

The readers of the HERALD in New York are
thus enabled to ''bring forward their calcula-
tions" for betting just as early as our paper
issues from the press.
Whilom, in the good days of ''auld lang
Syne"-auld in comparison with the moment
of electricity and steam-the annual contest
between the Oxford and Cambridge crews con-
stituted an event Of worldwide European in-
terest. On this side of the Atlantic the day was
looked for as one when many gallant youths
would struggle for victory on an element which
Britain regarded as her own peculiar domain.
This feeling has subsided considerably Of late
years. The results of the late race between
tho Harvards and Oxonians did not tend to
restore 1t. In fast, the young men and strong
and spirited of to-day will not coaGne them
selves to river feats and boats. They seek
converse with nature in her sablimity on the
ocean. They go down to the sea in feet and
magnificent yachts and struggle for victory on
that GLORIOUS mirror whore the AImighty's
form glasses itself in tempests." 1t ia revolu-
ton, progress advance and the pcrfectipg of a
worldwide fraternity. Notwithstanding such
considerations and ennobling facts, however,
Great Britain will send forth her thousands to
tho banks Of the Thames to-day in order to
witness the Oxford and Cambridge universe
ties race. ''Gown" and ''town" will commin-
gle for the moment, few strokes Of the oar
will decide the occasion, electricity will report
the result through the ocean, the vast crowd

wave roll Of another year.

Mexico is again in state Of fcrment. The
San Luis and Zaoatecas rebels still show signs
Of life. Cadena, Aquirre and the rest of that
class Of revolutionary leaders are still at their
old games. Unable to take the field in large
numbers they have fallen back, as dsrnier
resort, on guerilla system of warfare.
Negrete has made his escape from tt,e capital,

effect his capture. Fears for the safety of tho
city Of Mexico were entertained at the date of

THE COLORED voTE.-It appears that in
Chiiiicothe and in Dayton, Oaio, and In various
other places out West, where the blacks, in
recent elections, have been admitted to the
ballot box under the fifteenth amendment, they
have turned the scale in favor Of the republi-
cans These things should serve as a hint to
the Northern democracy to begin to cultivate
Sambo as ga man and brother;" for the
democratic fight against him as "a nigger" is
ended, and he has the victory and political
balance of power which II will not do 10
deSpise.

In TIE FRENCH LRaIsLA TIVE CHAMsERs the
discussion Of the Bonaparts ple5iscitxm sf-
forded occasion for an animated debate. II
will be seen that 1t was fully conceded that the
Emperor is anxious to atone to France and the
millions Of the French people for the necessity
Of the coup dstat, but that the radicals desire
10 prevent him. They are unwilling to lose the
Grievance" and thus fear to look up At the
"edi6ce" crowned. The protecting genius Of
the dynasty is likely to triumph notwithstand.
Ing. Premier Olivier warned the members
against the spectre rouge Of the radicals. The
Cabinet proposition was sustained BY q de-
eisive majority and vote Of confidence in the
Ministry passed by vote Of 227 to 10. France
is marching towards realization Of her gran.
deur and real strength.

enforced throughout the country. Speaking
generally, the proceedings went off peace
ably. Barricades and barriers were soen,
however, and city riots were not unfrequent in

MrssroN.-A cable despatch has it that the

the diplomatic courtesies extended by the Bur-
llngame Embassy. Herr Silk is also accred-
itsd to Japan. This is the FIRST fair govern

THE MCFARLAND TRIAL.-Two moro jurors
for the trial of this case were obtained yestsr-
day, making eight in all This is better pro-
gress than we expected, considering how very
generally among our citizens the case was
read and discussed at the time of the killing
of Richardson. At this rate It is fair to infer
that full jury will be empanelled by to-
morrow, and tho trial will soon be in full pro-
gress. With its interesting and strangely
romantic details, the social and domestic ques-
tions involved and the distinguished character
Of some Of the witnesses, 1t will be the most
exciting murder trial that has taken place in
this country since the case Of General Sckles.

basis regulated by the laws Of trade and the
natural productiveness Of the country. With
plentiful supplies Of gold, silver, cotton, sugar,
tobacco, wheat, corn and other produce, specie
restored and the load of taxation reduced. If

Indian Treaty Jobs.

II is very extraordinary that people can be
wild, prcposterous idea, go utterly at variance
with common sense or reason, rs to recommend
tho making of treaties between our government
and the savages Of the Plains. AS the present
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs remarked, Ga
treaty involves tho idea OF compact between
cient authority and force to compel a compli-
ance with tho obligations incurred The Indian
tribes of tho United States are not sovereign
nations, capable Of making treaties, as mono of
them have an organized government of suoh
inherent strength as would secure the faithful
compacts Of this character" No palmer proof
Of the absurdity of making treaties with the
redskins could be given. AL such COM
pacts have been one-sided in their observance,
as recent report Of the Governor of Kansas
in relation to losses of life and property oc-
casioned by Indian raids in the western part of
that State during the past two years will show.
A more shocking catalogue could scarcely be
imagined; and yet unscrupuloas politicians
raise howl Of rage and assumed horror
whenever any Of those murderous say
ages meet with their just deserts. In
the observance Of those treaties the
United States government has been faith
full in every respect and its generosity has
sometimes led it to grant more than the stipu-
lations Of a treaty required. The redskin
bands on the frontier, to whom murder, rape
and arson are pastime, are annually supplied
with liberal appropriation from the national
Treasury, asmall portion of which is expended
for Indian presents, while the greater part goes
into the pockets of the agents Of the Indian
ring in Washington and elsewhere. These
harpies are fighting bitterly against the propo-
sition Of abolishing treaties and subjecting the
Indians TO the laws Of the United States, for
they know that the spoils will then be
placed out of their reach. The gigantic Che
rokee land job, in which the government is
asked to purchase from number of irrespon-
sble squatters large portion Of the national
domain, Is sample of the graspiug nature of
those lobbyists and ring agents. It Is time for
Congress to stop this important leak in the
Treasury and abolish the treaty system, which
has never been aught but swindlc and job.
A New Stock EXCHANGE. Yesterday the
members Of tho Stock Exchange ended the
long agitation concerning new building by
putting the matter to a vote, with the result Of
large majority in favor Of removal. A site
Of commodious proportions Immediately
adjoining the presen! edifce has been ten
dered by the property owners; but now that a
change is decided upon the members of the
governing committee, who really possess all
power in the matter, should see that they
select spot best situated for the purpose and
take steps for the erection Of Stock Exchange
commensurate with the prospective needs OF
New York as the future financial centre Of the

France and Rome.

It has been reported that If the Pope
will not come to better sense in tho
matter of infalliblity and the Syllabus
France would, by way Of retaliation, withdraw
her troops from Rome. It has been denied
that France ever had any such intention. II
has been stated, on what seemed good author
ity, that Count Daru, the French Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, had demanded from the Pope
the privilege Of having in the Council lay
representative. This has been denied and
reaiIirmed in variety Of ways. One of our
latest dispatches has it that the Austrian
Ambassador at Rome has received special
instructions from his government to sustain
the demand of Count Daru. How much Of
this story is fact and how much fiction VIC
really find it difficult to say. 1t is our conyic-
ton that the Pope is determined topush tho
definition Of infallibility; that he is strong
enough to carry his point, and that he will
carry It, France can do more than withdraw
her troops from the Holy City. Meanwhile We
observe that the infalibility discussion ia being
hurried forward, In few days We shall
know what the Pope aud Napoleon really do
mean.
