ParnelI's Arrival-An Enthusiastic Re ceptiOn-Speeches by the Visitors.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The steamship Scythia
 arrived up this morning, having on board
 Charles Stewart Parnell and John B. Dillon,
 both of whom were received by large dele
 gation of prominent citizens of New York,
 and heartily welcomed to America in an ad- dress presented on board the Scythia, in be-
 half of the citizens of New York, and another
 presented by the Chicago committee. MT. Parnell replied. After thanking the commit tees for their welcome he said: Oar task is of
 double character. We have to war against 6 system which causes discontent and suffer ing in our country, and we have to endeavor
 to break down that system, and with Gods
 helpwe are determined to break it down. We
 have also to see that the victims of the system
 are not suffered to perish in the mean
 while. We are to take care that the unity
 and strength of our people is not broken, and
 that now, when the opportunity has really
 come for the settlement of one of the leading
 questions in Ireland, that the opportunity may
 not be lost. He closed by expressing his
 confidence that his mission would be success
 full in the ends for which it was designed. MT. Dillon then gave a brief statement of the
 extent of the distress prevailing in the west
 of Ireland. He said that in four or five
 months there would be something like 250, 900 people without food, and said that their mis- sion to America was not wholly to provide assistance for this starving multitude, but to procure sympathy for the cazse of the land agitation. MT. Parnen, in private converse ton, said he should remain in America until summoned home. He would return at once,
 he said, in case he heard of the suspension of the habeas corpus act, or the enforcement of the act for the preservation of peace.
 After the steamer had reached the dock, Parnell and Dillon, escorted by Messrs. Dew 1 lin, Meany, Robinson, Zimmerman and o. Rourke, passed down the gangplank upon the pier, along which, and extending far out into
 the street, were long lines of citizens. As the distinguished visitors passed between the lines, cheer upon cheer arose from a thousand throats. Mir. Parnell and MT. Dixon, with the

Farther Tidings from General Hatch
 Indian Chiefs Held as HOstages-
 Hopes of Averting War.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Secretary Sherman at e late hour tonight received dispatch from General Hatch dated at Lake City to-day. It reports that he has brought several Indian chiefs from the reservation to Lake Oity with him, that they are held by him for the pur- pose of preventing any demonstration by the young men of the tribe, that he desires to take them to the military camp at Fort Gar land, and if deemed advisable to send one of them back to see whether the surrender can not still be effected. He expresses the hope that this may yet be accomplished. The dis does not clear up the uncertainty in which his former dispatches have left the department as to whether or not he had re- fused to issue rations to the prisoners already offered until the whole num- Der demanded should be surren dered The Secretary immediately replied tonight by telegraph, requesting General Hatch to furnish information on the following points Whether the White River Utes offered for surrender are still in Ouray's power, or wheth- o1 tAcy nave UcoH HeIedScu; hlSO Wuht Culolb are with General Hatch, and of what bands; also whether there is any prospect of General Hatch now getting into his possession Chief Douglass, the son of Douglass and the other culprits of importance who were recently of fered for surrender. His proposition to take the Indians now with him to Camp Garland is approved, and as he expresses 8 hope that complete surrender may still be obtained he is requested to say what in his opinion can be done by direction of the Washington au- thorities to aid him. In conclusion the Sec retary telegraphs that he will send to General Hatch dispatch to be read to the Indian del egation and also to the Indians at the reserva- tion immediately after his answer to the above inquiries shall have been received here.

The SituRtiOn-A More Peaceful Feel
 ing-The Supreme Court Case-NO De-
 cisfOn Reached Yet-The Court to Go
 Into the Merits or the Case-Any De-
 cisiOn Eruitless.
 AUGUSTA, Jan. 2.-Matters are quiet in this city. Few members-elect have yet ar rived in town. A large number are expect ed by train tomorrow. It is rumored that the court will go into the merits of the case submitted in addition to the law questions involved. This rumor gives dissatisfaction to the friends of Gareelon. The war talk has subsided. Mayor Nash thinks no diff culty will occur. Major General Joshua l.. Chamberlain to-day qualified as major gene ral of the militia. Five hundred men will be placed at his disposal next week. He is reported as being decidedly in favor of SUD- porting the Governor in the discharge of his duties. Prompt steps are to be taken to guard against any attempt that may be made, augmented by the addition of large mum bers of men who can be depended upon in any emergency.
 The questions submitted by Governor Gar celon were prepared by A. P. Gould, the most acute Democratic lawyer in the State. He does not include a single one of the fourteen questions submitted by Governor Merrill, and the Democrats are chuckling over their belief that the questions cannot be answered by the court in such way as to shake any of the de- cisions of the Governor or Council The best Republican lawyers, on the other hand, be- | ieve that MT. Gould's questions, though cun- ningly constructed, open the whole question of Garcelon's sharp practice, and that if the court allows itself half the latitude assumed by Judge Shepley's court on the political question submitted in 1854, they must traverse pretty much the entire ground and sweep the foundations from under the whole superstructure of fusion rascality The court will necessarily be compelled to lay down the law touching the legal meth ods of counting and declaring the result of the election. Fusionists claim that they are sure of favorable opinion from the court; that it will be obliged to confne itself to the questions as put, an whatever the decisions, the result will remain the same. There will be no re- issue of certificates in any event, and if it should be favorable to Republicans it will be barren victory. Republicans doubt whether there will be any change in the certificates, but think no honorable man will take seat if the process by which it was given him is pro nounced illegal by the court.
 BANGOR, Jan. 2.-The Justices of the Su- preme Court have not yet reached a decision on the questions propounded by the Governor and Council. Their deliberations will prob ably close tomorrow. Their conference has been 8 secret one.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Congress will reas- l semble next Tuesday. The first business which will be taken up will be the report of the Committee on Rules, and the debate up on which promises to be quite extended. It is expected that Chairman Springer of the Elections Committee will also have two or three election cases to report after the holi- days. The object of the leading Democrats will be to prevent the agitation, if possible, of any subj ect calculatedto bring on section al discussion. The fear is though that the Maine complication will force political war of words in both branches. The Commit tee on Ways and Means will immediately up- on reassembling, take up..tor consideration the letter of Secretary Sherman and the Garfield bill providing for the refunding of the and per cent bonds of 1881. Chairman Ward man authority to fund with bond bearing over 33 per cent. interest, while the Secretary in letter to MT. Merrill, of the Senate Finance Committee, lays down some cogent objections to Chair man Woods proposition. The Appropria- tions Committee will report the marshal def ciency appropriation next week. Its consid- eration is likely to provoke 8 repetition of the debates of the extra session. A move ment will be made to induce the Foreign Affairs Committee to formulate bill very materially abridging the present diplomatic and consular system. The Banking and Our rency Committee will probably take 8 vote on the Fort resolution to let all matters af- fecting the volume and value of the curren- cy circulation alone next Saturday, at which meeting General Ewing is expected to be present.
