Boss TWEED TRIAL.-NEw York
January ia large crowd is present
in the Oyer & Terminer Court this
morning to witness the opening of the
Tweed case. Great surprise followed
the request Of District Attorney Phelps
to postpone the case for one hour for
consultation for the prosecution counsel
upon information in their possession
which would decide whether they
would proceed or not with the case,
against Tweed. The Judge granted
an hours recess. 1t is believed that
the delay asked for is consequent upon
the discovery that one of the jurors is
a member of the Americas Club which
was founded by Tweed

is still the subject OF great solicitude to
his friends. He has slept very little of

it is doubtful whether he will be able to
re sumo his seat in the Senate, for some
time.

GERMAN IMMIGRATION.-A " ash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Jouraat
says
The following extract from the Of
fetal correspondence between German
Ambassador Schioezer and Secretary
Fish, hitherto unpublished, explains
the position Of the Prussian 60, ern-
ment relative to emigration to this
country. The German Ambassador
SAYS There was time when the
population of Germany hid attained
SUCH proportions numerically that the
Government found itself obliged 20
favor emigration in every way. 1t was
ordered, at that time, that emf grants
should receive railway transportation
at lower rates than other travellers.
Two great wars have, meanwhile, had
their unavoidable effects upon the pop
uIation of Germany, and emigration,
which deprives a country OF It's labor
ing force, and the army of its material,
can no longer appear desirable, and
can, therefore, no longer be encour
aged, as it formerly was, by the Gov
ernment. There is, however, | think,
an evidence Of difference between tie
discontiauance of a temporary enconr
agement of emigration and a dIrect
prohibition or prevention Of the same.

Conclusion of the Negotiations between
the United States and Spain.

Washington, 30. The negotiations be.
tween the United States and Spain with
regard to the questions growing out of the
capture of the Virginius, were brought to
conclusion to-day, Secretary Fish and Ad-
miral Polo having agreed upon and signed
protocol, which the latter soon after tee-
graphed to his government.
As conf lctng statements have appeared in
the newspapers regarding the intelligence
received last night and also to-day, it can now
be positively stated that the terms are sub
stantlally as follows:
First, the delivery to the United States of
he ship Vlrginius and all the surviving pas
engers and crew.
Second, sulnte to our flag on the 25th of
December next, unless in the meantime
Spain shall satisfy the United States that the
American flag was improperly borne on that
vessel, and further that she had no right to
the American flag or American papers. In
this event the salute is to be spontaneously
Withdrawn, and Spain is to formally disclaim
any intentional ndignity to the flag in the
acts committed by Spain against the Virgin
Jus.
Third, if it shall thus be shown that the
Nirginus had no right to carry the American
flag and papers, the United States will insti.
tute proceedings against the vessel, and the
surviving parties who have violated the laws
of the United States, and Spain guarantees
TO institute proceedings against any of her
authorities who may have violated either
law or treaty stipulations.
Fourth, the matter of reclamation for dam
ages is reserved for future consideration.
In addition to the above it can be stated
that within the next two days Secretary Fish
and the Spanish Minister will determine what
port at which the Vlrginus and the surviving
passengers and crew shall be delivered to the
United States. The words Immediate re-
lease" as applicable to the delivery of the
Virginius and the surviving passengers and
crew, implies of course reasonable time for
its execution as some days must elapse before
Havana and Santiago can be reached.
The agreement is regarded in official cir
cles as covering all the points of our original
demands, though in a modified form, while it
is considered honorable to both countries.
The fixing of the 25th of December as the
time for saluting our flag is to allow the neces-
sary opportunity to Spain to show that the
Virginius improperly carried the American
flag and American papers.
There is sensible relief in all quarters
that the negotiation has thus peacably ended.
Both Secretary Fish and Admiral Palo had
for two weeks been engaged in producing this
result, on which they receive the congratula-
tons of their respective friends.

To Hon. W. w. Belknap, Secretary of War.
Sir Il have the honor herewith to submit
statement showing the organization and
actual strength of the enlisted men in the
army, compiled from returns up to the latest
data, and invite your attention TO the recapit-
ulation, showing % ,535 cavalry, infantry and
artillery and 800 non combatants, or 495 less

the active regiments, the number Of men sick
and on necessary details about the posts will
fully equal % per cent, so that the actual
strength for military service does not exceed
1852 men.
In order that the regular army should fulfil
its arduous duties on the frontier, as also to
form a model on which to shape the volun-
teer and militia force of the United States,
earnestly recommend that Congress be asked
to fix the limit of enlisted force at such fig
ures as will give 30, 900 for regiments of the
line. To provide specifically for non com
batants detachmeEts such as engineer dc
tachment, the ordnance department, West

artillery regiment has an organization differ
cnt from infantry, viz, twelve battalions to

ed as a battery, the other IL companies being
armed with muskets and instructed as infan.
