copies Of documents upon which Gen. De
Trobriand acted, concludes as follows
If we have dwet somewhat at length
upon the details OF the military overthrow
OF sovereign state, and her reduction to
a province, il is that other states may zee

people, jealous of their liberties, that q
military power dlspacng the house of rep

TUE CALL FOR A MEETING OF SYMPATHlZERs
A REPUBLICAN ooUNTERBLAsT.
New YoRK, Jan. 8.
Party feeling ran high in the produce
exchange Friday, growing out of diverse
views entertained by members on the sub
ject of the interference of the army in the
government of Louisiana. Copies of the
call for the mass meeting at Cooper insti-
tute were circulated for signatures, and the
administration men circulated the follow
ing document as a counterblast
We, the undersigned, recolccting how
rebellion was inaugurated, and the country
forced into war by the failure of the gov
eminent to protect its forts and its officers,
hereby testify our approval of the prompt
action of the government in the late case
of the legislature of Louisiana.
On the upper floor of the exchange the
feeling was most intense, and after several
of the sheets containing the anti-fedcral
petition had been nearly filled, they were
surreptitiousl.' destroyed by an opponent.
This created the most intense feeling, and
served to stimulate the efforts of those
who were in favor of mass meeting

The Pacific Mail Investigation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.

ARLINGTON, Jan. III.
In the Pacific Mail investigation, Satur-
day, Charles Albert was allowed till twelve
o'clock Monday to give the names of per-
sons to whom he dsbursed ci06, 900, fail
ing in which he will be reported to the
house as in contempt.
Hon. John G. Schumacher was recalled.
He said he had obtained permission of his
client to make certain statements, which
he proceeded to read from manuscript.
This written statement was to the effect
that the witness, May 28, 1872, received
from Richard B. Irwin his check for S275.-
900, with instructions to have it broken up
in a number of smaller checks he went
to the American bank to get it certified; he
did not meet or see the postmaster the
latter had nothing to do with his business !;
he did not succeed in getting it certified,
being unknown to the teller.
On the Both of May the Brooklyn trust
company broke up check Of $4,000, 1t
being placed to his credit, and subsequent
ly, with the exception of about $4,000,
disbursed by his checks, and three checks
for $50, 900 each being drawn on the Ma
rinc bank and sent to the Office of the Pa
ciflc Mail company.
The same day Stockwcll told him that
the Office of the company was being over
run with people clamorous to be compen.
stated tor services they pretended to have
rendered in helping TO secure the increase
of subsidy the company wanted to get
rid of his crowd. and also desired to pay
all persons who had honestly assisted.
They therefore requested Schumacher to
carry the check for $50 900 to Lyman e.
more, an attorney who had sufficient In.
formation Ia enable him to distribute il
properly. Mr.. Schumacher hesitated about
complying with this request and said lie
would refuse to do so if the money was to
b. paid to any member or officer of con-
gress.
Being assured by Stockwell that the
company had employed no such persons
and that tue money was not intended fol
any improper purposes, Schumaker took
his instructions and in accordance with
them took the check to Lyman Gilmore.
He went first to Elmore's office in New
York, but learning that he had gone tC
Washington went over there himself that
night, and the next day rendered il to FL
more in Washington.
Gilmore said he would like TO have the
money. and witness therefore got it cashet
by Riggs & Co., took the money to Elmorc,
room, and there paid it by Elmore's direc
tcn and in his presence to person intro
duced by Elmore as General Smith wit
ness had no knowledge what was after
wares done with the money he took M
receipt for it; was given no directions tC
receive any.
Q. Suppose Mr.. Stockwell should pass
away and you have no voucher to show
that you did not put this money in you
own pocket, don't you think it would seen
extraordinary that you neglected the ordi
nary business precautions?
A. Well, that's what is troubling me
that's what's the matter.
Q. Did you feel that you were in an ex
traordinary position?
A, Yes

The number of convicts confined in the
state prison Is now 106 males and four fe-
males. AS there are only l04 cells, and
two of these are generally been used for
solitary confinement, it makes the prison
too small for the accommodation of its in
crease in numbers, and there has never been
any proper place of confinement for wo-
men. Messrs. Mawhinney & Co. are COM
PEELED to employ all the available help
these convicts afford, and last month
credited the state with $500 days work. 1t
is intmated that possibly an appropriation
may be made at the coming extra session
for improvements, which will include shop
room, which is already too small to give
employment to all, and too compact for
the health and discipline of the convicts.

A Merited Compliment.

Hiram Bingham, Esq, of Bennington,
was the recipient of very handsome and
elegant watch chain from II. +. Bradford
& Co., as Christmas present. The chain
was given as token of the personal regard
of the company for Mr.. Bingham, who has
been in various ways connected with them
for nearly twenty years. During the time
he has acted as agent for the sale OF their
goods to country merchants in the sections
through which he annually travels, he has
sold, says the Bennington Banner, over a
half million dollars worth, without any
loss to the company. The present was a
grateful expression of the friendship and
confidence of the gentlemen who compose
the firm of II. T. Bradford & Co., in the
faithful and capable fidelity of MIR. Brg-
ham.

In the second place, is the great saving
OF expenses, so that we are able to under
sill stores on Merchants Row.
We have long lease Of our store at
only two hundred dollars Il year, while
stores on Merchants Row rent for $1,000 a
year. Being a saving in ten years in rents

RumOred Discussions in the Cabinet.
wAsniNeroS, Jan. 10.

w AoulNGION, Jan. lO
The rumors of disssnoion in the cabinet
on account of the policy of the admins
tration in regard to the Louisiana troubles
are again repeated in well-informed circles,
and it was stated tonight that Secretary
Fish had rendered his resignation to the
president. The secretary, however, denies
the truth of the report, stating positively
that he had not resigned, though as to
what would take place, he did not know.
There seems to be every indication that at
least three members of the cabinet are not
thoroughly in accord with the President on
this troublesome question and have
minated to him that they will resign.
1t is known that several prominent repub-
lican senators were III consultation with
Secretary Fish to-day, and this fact has
given rise to rumor that an effort Is be-
ing made to reconcile any differences
which may have taken place between him
and the president.

The funeral of o. II. Round, esq, was

a member, under the direction of E. M.
Edgerton as marshal, with Killington Com
mandery of Knights Templars, under the
conduct of General L. G.. Kingsley, mar
shall, marched to the residence OF Mr.. Ba-
ker, on Chestnut avenue, where they receiv-
ed the remains and proceeded to the Bap-
tist church, at which the religious services
were observed.
Rev. II. +. Austin, pastor of the Meth
odlst church, ofiiciated. After singing,
reading selections of scripture and prayer,
Mr. Austin delivered funeral discourse,
founded upon the words dust thou art
and unto dust thou shalt return The
spirit shalt return unto God who gave 1t. y
The topic of discourse was Human life
and the use we ought to make of it,"
Human life was fact, yet a profound
mystery. 1t came in contact with sin at
the first, and its aim should be to overcome
and resist evil. The perishibility of human
life is 80 potent as to concern us all; prone
ness to decay was our inheritance. The
doctrine of the immortality Of the soul was
plainly set forth in the discourse, and the
duty of man In view of this fact, to make
human life one of consideration to the re-
lgious elements of his nature. The dis
course was fittingly concluded with brief
biographical sketch of the deceased, and
the commentator of his purity of lite as n
remarkable trait, worthy of all imitation.
After the rendering of a masonic dirge
by the choir, an opportunity was given the
congregation to look upon the features of
him who had SO long walked among this
people and who was so widely known.
On leaving the church the masonic pro-
cession was reformed, the Knights Templar
escortng to the corner of Merchants Row
and West street. The burial took place at
the cemetery in West Clarendon, where
the beautiful masonic burial service was
gracefully performed by Henry II. Smith,
ESQ.,, Grand Junior Warden of the Grand
Lodge of Vermont. We presume Mr.
Round has attended more masonic funerals
and had listened to this service greater
number of times than any person in Yer
mont and his desire to have the masonic
rites at his grave has buen faithfully COM
piled with by his brethrec.
There was large gathering Of masJns,
and some forty, Notwithstanding the cold
and storm, accompanied the remains to the
place of burial.
