The First Formal Meeting Of the Directors
since October Lnst.
The directors Of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company met yesterday in the Windsor
Hotel among them Jay Gould, 3. Dlllon, ]. d.
Smith, c. j. Forrest, J. b. Houston. Rufus Hatch,
and c, j, Osborn. Mr.. Dillon presided. The OBJ
jet OF the meeting was to devise means to re-
leve Pacific Mail from Its present embarrase-
ment, which II Is confidently believed may
be done The rumor that the company
is to be put into the hands OF a receiver Is pre-
m attlre as the money to meet all present obli-
cations will undoubtedly be furnished. some
OF the directors think that the ass Is OF the
company are about $S,00O,00O, and the liabilities
only ABOUT $2,0OO,OO0. The assets outside OF the
twelve iron steamers ought TO more tudn equai
the liabilities.
The stock has gone down four per cent. since
Saturday. Within the last thirty days II has
gone down from thirty-nine cents TO twenty.
Jay Gould Is said to be about $1,000 shares short.
AT least II Ia known that his brokers are borrow
ing. IL Is believed by some stockholders that
certain directors are trying to bear the stock.
On the Let of April Goyerntnent quarterly
Daynent of $l25,00O will be due, and SHO,WO Is
already due on the Shanghai line. The bills pay
anle now are about $iOO,OOO The great falling
OF In passenger trafhc has also contributed TO
the company's embarrassment. II II said that
the Colon and Acaouco, the only ships on the
Atlantic are earning about $l5,OOO per month.
The meeting Great ed some commoton IN W all

Of bIokers nlled the corridors OF the windsor,
the principal topic being the status oi racine

been denied, but now admitted that the
Department Is full OF straw bids. He
estimated the number let at the recent

this air OF Injured innocence and told Mr.. Jew of
that they would have to consider the subject
aud as TO what amendments should be recon-
mendcd to protect the Government. Tonight
ono Of the contractors under tho new let

ALBANY, March G.-Thcrc were few law
makers in either House tonight, and they
seemed to have little heart for work. being more
intont on talking about the downfall OF Bclknap,
and the effect upon the Republican party. the
New Hampshire election, and tho prospects Of
candidates. The Republicans are uneasy, and
they regret more than anything else the pre-
cipitancy with which Grant accepted Delknap's
resignation, as they fear II will be ehectuay
used TO show that the President did II to save
him from impeachment. And now" said a
member tonight, THAT miserable cuss Dabcock
has been caught IN such trap that the Presi-
dent has been forced to kick him out. and the
charged In the crooked whiskeY business, and II
must inlure the President and the party beyond

One week ago every one about the Capitol was
confident that Roscoe Conkiing was the coming
man. but decided change is noticed, and hints
exposing the frauds must be nominated to save
the party. Even Old salt, who spoke so conf
dently Cf Conkling's nomination In the inter

pressed fear that RnscOe's chances were gone.
But the most marked change Il In regard to

Philadelphia Navy Yard.

PHTLADELrHIA, March THE Times OF
this city to morrow will publish column aril-
Gle concerning what the Committee on Naval
Expenditures will do here to morrow.
Below is an abstract OF the information.
The committee say they have received
information which shows that half millio
dollars has been lost to the g Government throug
the favoritism shown contractors In :he removal
place it is charged that the contract
for the removal of the whole OF the
buildings at the yard was given to Nathaniel
Mckay OF Boston, who, IL Il charged, contracted
to do the work for $4,000. and attempted to buy
OF those persons who underbid him; that
among other transactions scow loads OF valuable
material, including copper, were ostensibly
taken to League Island, but really taken to
warehouse where II was stored. One boiler,
valued at $4,000, was returned to the authori-
ties also, that raft Of valuable tim Der
was taken from the yard and stored
at simpsons Wharf, and when the owner OF the
wharf Informed Commodore Preble detail Of
men were sent to bring IL back The modus
Operandi OF the peculatlOns showed that large
piles Of copper were made, then covered
with old iron, and the whole sold ~
of the latter material. McKay's agents were on
hand aud purchased the whole lot cheap. There
are further relations which will be made before
the committee which have not yet become
public.

A Contemplated Attack on MatHmorns The
Town OF CamargO Captured.

Town OF CamurgO Captured.
GALVESTON, Texas, March Ga special
to the Ncws says: THE revoutionists under
PorGro Daz are rapidly gaining strength. Con-
siderable CONSERVATION prevails among the Gov
ernment adherents IN the towns along the Mex
lean border. Many families are seeking protec-
tion on the American side at Rio Granle City,
IdlnburG, and Brownsville.
Matamoras is considered to lie the present OBJ
jective point Of the Daz forces. Although it Is
a strongly fortified city, the small garrison OF
federal troops now there under Cristo IS proba-
bly inadequate for its defence Col. Pirratt,
VINO was ordered Win his command from Ca
margo 20 their assistance, arrived on the 3d,
having missed or avoided Pena on the route.
Contrary to the expectations Of the Govern.
ment party Pena after taking ReynoZa, and his
forces being augmented by about 400 volunteers,
received orders from Diaz to advance imme-
diately on Camargo. 1t IS reported that he has
reached Las Cueyas, the noted den Of cattle
thieves, and the point at which McNallv recently
crossed into Mexico, where his forces will prob
ably be increased Immediately on receipt Of
the news of the movement OF Pena. Col. Par
raft left Matamoras yesterday morning in pur-
suit Of him aad fCSfhe protection of Camargo.
Government troops have also left Monterey
for that point, as also u small party OF the rural
police from Mier.
Diaz remains quiet at Brownsville. He is
sufficiently strong to make an attempt ON Mata-
mOrds.
LGtcr.--Pena took undisiurbed possession OF
Camargo this morning. whero an order Tor "A
forciule tax Will probably be made In order TO
increase the finances Of the revolutiouists.
