A new element of disturbance is devel oping itself as to Louisiana politios. Senator I. B. Stamps and jiames D. Ken ned; altived here this morning. The; report themselves as forming a part of a committee sent here b; the representa tives of the colored men of Lonisiana to see the President. The other members of the committee, Senator Dmnont, Bev. A. M. Newman and Louis M. Kenner, are en route, and are expeoted in the mor ning. Nothing is known of their inten tions, although it is rumored that the; will strongly recommend Albert W. Leonard for Distriot Attorney. None of the committee, b; claim, are applicants for pflioe. Burch remains here to watch them. BUTLEB ON HAZES. Gen. Butler was called upon b; a dele gation of oitizens of the Distriot in re gard to a Commissioner. He referred them to Mr. Corcoran. This is an extraot from the report of the interview as pub lished in the Baltimore Sun : We are told that the Bepublioan part; is to be disbanded, the Democratic part; is to be disbanded, and the great Whig part; is to oome into life. You had better go to the grave;ard and take off the tombstones the names of some Old.Line Whigs and put them on ;our application. The General here interrupted himself, and said he had asked one favor of the President. When he was in command of the Department of the Gulf during the war, the noble, eminent and patriotic snrgeon-in-chief of the department saeri- floed bis life in his labors for his oouutry. His son, now a promising lad of sixteen ;ears, desired to enter the naval aoadem;, but did not live in bis (Gen. Butler’s) distriot, or he would have him appointed himself. He, therefore, went to the President, who at the time had three naval oadet appointments in his gift, related to him all the oiroumstanoes, and asked him to bestow one of the appointments on this poor boy. When the President made the appointments the boy’s name was not among them, but all of them were sons of men of the style of Mr. Oorooran. SUSPENDED OFFICERS.

In the Commons, Mr. Egerton, Secre tary to the Admiralty, in rsply to a ques tion, said it is not true^hat a mutiny had ooonrred on board her Majesty’s ship Alexanandne, the flagship of the Medi terranean squadron.

TIONS. Special lo Enquirer-Sun.] Havana, June 5.—Tbe English mail steamer, arrived from Vera Cruz, brings tbe following: City of Mbxioo, May 80.—The passage of Valdes aoross the Rio Grande bos cre ated no sensation. The Judges of the Supreme Court were installed. The new Cabinet took their portfolios to-day. Diaz is favorable to the Tehuantepee railroad projeot, provided Stevens’ baok "ere are buna fide capitalists, and in earn 6at.

Those in the oity are divided into three olasses. Tbe first pay $1,500, seoond $1,000, third $750 monthly lioense. The reason for this Is supposed to be tbe necessity for increasing the revenues. Considerable indignation is felt at tbe measure. UNOOMMON DEPRESSION OF BPIBIT WHICH’HAS COME UPON HIM. Boston, Mass., May 31.—Ex-Souator liout well delivered the memorial address at Barnstable, and took quite a gloomy view of affairs iu general, aud of tbe ooudition of the South iu particular. Tbe Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution are io actual peril. He said that a steady and viaible reaction has set iu against them during the last two years. While this reaotion oanuot result iu the overthrow of the amend ments by constitutional methods, there is danger that they will reoeive snob an in terpretation by the oourta and in Con gress as to deprive them of their chief value, as thsy were understood by the men who originated them and by the people who ratified them. Three States —Mississippi, Lonisiana and North Caro lina—have, he says, been seized by armed minorities representing educated aud wealthy olasses. He holds that the National Government has the right and is bound upon ascertain ment of tbe facts to depose tbe existing State administrations chosen by tbe peo- j'o, or which would bave been oboseu jut for tbe violenoe of the minority. He takoa a gloomy and discouraging view of the condition of the oountry. Tbe Thir teenth Amendment is the only one adopt ed in eonsequenoe of tbe Rebellion whioh h* considers unlikely to be unnniled or thwarted in its operation. Tbe old spirit wbioh brought on tho war of the Rebel lion be believes to be yet domiuaut iu the South, and determined, if not on separa lion, at ieaBt on perpotnating the rule of one race over tbo other, and so far pre venting the equal freedom nnd equal rights whioh we thought had been gained by the War of tbo Union. Mr. Boutwoll is nnable to diseovor any promise of amendment in tbo South. He gives tbe leaders of its intelligent and wealthy olasseB no credit for progress. He con siders the President's attitude toward tbe Louisiana and South Carolina disputes mistaken and wrong oh was for the same reason the course of President Grant in neglecting to support Gov. Ames in Mis sissippi, He sees no way of edtioatlng the South in self-government, except by governing it With the sword. Joe lllnckliiirii on the Hpeiakereblp. From the Cincinnati Enquirer Y8th.] A representative of tbe Enquirer bad a chat with Hon. Jon S. C. .Blackburn, of Kentnoky, on tbe subject of tbe Speaker ship of tbe next House of Representatives, at tbe Galt House, in Louisville, last Sat urday night. Mr. Blackburn is of tbo opinion that if tbe South unites, as it seems highly probable it will, on a South ern oandidate for the position, his chances for suocess are the best of any. At all events, he believes that Randall baa too many elements of opposition working against him to permit him to grasp the gavel, and be langhs at tbe idea of any Southern Demoorat supporting Foster, Garfield or any other Republican for tbe Speakership in return for assistance to bo furnished by the Adminis tration to tbe Texas Pacific railroad and Mississippi leveo schemes. In fact, ho is of tho opinion that any Southern Democratic member of Congress who would so vote would jeopardize tbe safety of his neck by retnrning to the bosom of his oonstituenoy after so doing. Next to himself he most favors Milton Saylor for the position to whioh be aspires and should he see that his ohanoes are not tho bright est of all, we opine that Milton will have no more devoted friend on the floor of tbe IIoubo than tbe talented gentleman who bo ably represents tbo Ashland dis triot in the National Couneil Board. Ulear Grit. About thirty years ago, said Judge P , I stepped into a book store in Cin . oinnati in searoh of some books that I wanted. While there, a little ragged boy over twelve yeara of age, oame in and in • quired tor a geography. ‘Plenty of them,' waa the salesman’s reply. ‘How much do they oost ?’ ‘One dollar, uy lad.' ‘I did not know they were so mnoh.' He turned to go out, and even opened the door, bat oloaed it again and came baok. 'I bave goi sixty-one oents,' said be ; ‘could you let me have a geography, aud wait a little while for the rest of the money ?' How eagerly hia little bright eyes look ed (or an answer, and how he seemed to Bhrink within his ragged clothes, when the man, not very kindly, told him he could not. Tbe disappointed little fellow looked up to mo, with a very poor attempt to smile and left tbe store. I followed him, aud overtook him. ‘And what now ?' I asked. ‘Try another place, sir. ’ 'Shall I go, too, and seo how you sno- oeed?' ‘O, yes, if you like,’ said he, in stir prise. Four different stores I enterod with him, and each time he was refused. ‘Will you try again?' I aBked. ‘Yes, sir; I shall try them all, or I should not know whether I oonld get one.' ‘Wo entered the fifth store, and tho lit tle fellow (Talked up manfully, and told the gentleman just what he wanted, nnd how inuoh ha had. ‘You want the book very much?' said tbe proprietor. ‘Yes, very inuoh.' 'Why do you want it so very mnch?’ ‘To study, air. I can’t go to sobool, but I study when I oan at borne. All tbe boys bave got one, and they will got ahead of mo. Besides, my father was a sailor, and I want to learn of tbe places wbere be need to go. ‘ ‘Does be go to theBe places now?' asked tbo proprietor. ‘He is dead,’ said tbe boy, softly; then be added after awhile: ‘I am going to bo a sailor too.' ’Are you, through?' said the gentleman, raising bis eyebrows anriously. ‘Yes, Bir, if I live.' ‘Well, my lad, I will tell yon wbat I will do; I will let you bave a new geogra phy, and you may pay tbe remainder of the money wheu you oan, nr I will let you havo one that is not quite new for fifty oents.’ ‘Are tbe leaves all in it, and just like the other, only not new?' ‘Yes, just like tbe new one.’ ‘It will do jnst as well then, and I will bave eleven oents left towards buying some other book. I am glad they did not let me have one at the other places.’ The booksellbr looked up inquiringly, and I told wbat I had seen of tbe little fellow. He was much pleased, and when he brought the book along, I saw a nioe new pencil, and some oleau white paper in it. ‘A present, my lad, for your persever ance. Always bave courage like that and BILLIARDS. RACES. AT CINCINNATI. Cincinnati, June 5.—The traok was heavy.

Duller, of Massa chusetts, arrived at the Fifth Avenue Ho tel on Monday night, and most of yester day was engaged in tho ease of the At lantic and Paoifio versus the Western Union Telegraph Company, in relation to a patent for duplex telegraphing, claimed by tbe former company. It was late in the afternoon when, by permission of Mr. T. A. Major, the private secretary of Gen. Butler, of Massachusetts, tho re porter of tho Herald was permitted to wait a couple of hours in room No. 1 of tbe Fifth Avenue Hotel to see the Gene ral himself. When ho did seo tbe Gen eral the following remarkable conversa tion ensued : Butler (with a roundabout ooat, a sal mon colored vest, a big black sailor's tie and an insolent swagger in bis gait, walk ing about tbe room)—Wbere is this fal low of the presH that wants to interview me ? Herald reporter (taking the whole pro- ceedinff by way of a joke of the General's) —I am the fellow, General, and perhaps you may remember— Butler—I remember nothing. Damn tbe whole press. I'll havo no interview, and I’ll— Reporter (a little overcome)—I simply wished to ask yon, General, if yon havo heard of the new party that report says has been— Duller—Damn tbo report. There is no new party. I have had enough of reports and of newspaper men, and wheu you go away you'll go down and write three ool- nrnns of an interview with me that never took place, and I'll bo damnod if I stand it. You are— Reporter—Spare yourself, General; there is no need for being angry about it. You know— Duller—(getting red in tho face and quite boisterous)—I know nothing, and I call upon this goutlemnn hero (pointing to a gentlemen who was quietly rooking himself iu a chair, but taking in tbe whole situation). I call upon this man as a witness that I never said any thing to you, and if you say— Reporter—I shall say nothing, sir, be yond wbat has occurred, but I think— Butler— Say no more; leave tbe room, and that’s tbe end of it, etc., and the re porter left with many blasphemous impre cations in his wake from tbe statesman of Massachusetts.

The engineer and fireman jumped off and escaped. yon will make your mark,’ sai l tbe book seller. ‘Thank you, sir; you are very good. ’ ‘What is your name ?' ‘William Haverly, sir.’ ‘Do yon want any more books?’ I now aBked him. ‘More than I oan ever get,' he replied, glancing at the books that filled tho shelves. I gave him a bank-note. ‘It will buy some for you,' I said. Tears of joy oame to bis eyes. ‘Can I buy wbat I want with it ?' 'Yes, my lad, anything.’ ‘Then I will buy a book for mother,' said he. ‘I thank yon very much, aud one day hope I oan pay you baok.’ He wanted my name, and I gave it to him. Then I left him standing by tbe counter, eo happy, that I almost envied him; and it was many years before I saw him again. Last year I went to Enrope on one of tbe finest vessels that ever ploughed tbe waters of the Atlantio. We had very beautiful weather until vory near tbe end of tbe voyage ; then came a most terri ble storm, that wonld bave stink all on board bad it not been for tbe oaptain. Every spar was laid low, tbe rudder waa almost useless, and a great leak bad shown itself, threatening to fill tbe ship. Tbe orew wero all strong, willing men, and tbo mates wero praotical seamen of tbo first class; but after pumping for one wbole night, and tbe water still gaining upon them, they gave up in despBir, pre pared to take to tbe boats, though they might bave known no small boat oould ride suoh a sea. The oaptain, who had been below with bis charts, now oamo up. He saw how matters stood, and with a voioe that I heard distinoliy above tbo roar of tbe tempeBt, ordered every mou to bis post. It was surprising to see those men bow before tho strong will of tbeir captain, and bnrry back to tbe pumps. Tbe oap tain then started below to examine the leak. As be passed me I asked if thore was any hopes. lie looked at me and than at the other passengers, who bad crowded up to hear the reply, and said, rebnkingly: “Yes, sir, there is hopes os long as one inch of this deck remains above water ; when I see none of it, then I shall aban don tbo vessel, and not before; nor ono of my orew, sir. Everything shall be done to save it, and if we fail, it will not be from inaotion. Dear a band, evory one of yon, at tbe pumps.” Tbrioe daring tbe day did we despair ; but tbe oaptain's dauntless courage, per severance and powerful will mastered every man on board, and we went to work again. ‘ I will land yon aafeiy at tbe dock in Liverpool,' said bo, ‘if you will be men.’ And be did land os aafeiy; but the ves sel sunk moored to tho dock.

New Yobk, May 31.—A billiard matoh for $1,000 and the championship, three- ball French caroms, took place to-night at Tammany Hall between Joseph Dion, champion, and William Sexton. Won by Sexton, score GOO to 442. The game waa uninteresting, nnless in the twenty-six and a half inning, when Sextou ahowed souio fine play, and ran np a neat 69, which placed him abend. Dion aoon af ter rolled up 84 points by splendid play. His draw and round table shots were par ticularly lino. In the thirty-fourth inning Sexton got the halU together and run 71, hut missed a simple shot. Dion ran 28, 10 and 79, which loft hia soore at 395 to Sexton’s 242. The latter seemed to gain nerve and drop into his old play, and added 80 to his total, and at the end of tbe forty-eighth inning the game stood : Dion, 436; Sexton, 352. Dion made a break of 6, which made 442, and left the balls in a good position for Hexton. Sex ton got them in his favorite position un der tbe side cushion, and nnrse(l them in splendid style. He soorsd al most as rapidly as Muther oould oall out, and on turuiug hU first hundred was greeted with prolonged applause. He moved tbe balls slowly around tbe ta- blu, never letting them out of position, and turned his second hundred iu a short time. The house fairly shook with ap plause. He kept on flooring, aud ran the game out with 247 points, leaving Diou with 442. He was oarried on the shoul ders of the audience iu triumph around the room. Winner's average, 12, 12.49.

Other reiuodioB advertised as aures fur Consnmption, probably contain opium, whioh ia a somewhat dangerous drug iu all cases, and if taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for its tendonoy is to oonttuo the morbid matter in tbo system, which, of oourse, must uinko a cure impossible. Sphenok's Pulmouio Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle of opium; it is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, wbioh not on tbo lungs, liver, stomach, nnd blood, nnd tlniH correot all morbid secretions, and expul all tho dis eased matter from the body. These are the only means by whioh Consumption can bo oured, and as Sobouok's Palmonio Syrup, Sea Weed Tonio and Mandrake Pills are the only medioines which op r- ato in this way, it is obvious they arc tbe only gennino onre for Pulmonary Con sumption.
