below was not sustained by the averment
of the indictment, that the witnesses
were of the colored race and were denied
the right to testify in the State Courts.
- In the Senate this morning, Mr, Rob

Earl Granville’s note to Secretary Fish
was read at the Cabinet meeting to-day.
It is very long, and consists of both
manuscript aud printed matter. The let
ter is argumentative against tne position
of the United States on the Alabama
Claims; but expresses a hope that the
two countries may, eventually, settle
their difficulties according to the spiri
of the Treaty of Washington. The tone
of the letter is firm but friendly.
Some days will ekqise before Fish will
reply to this more then usually law-diplo
matic letter. Our Government adheres
to its position to submit the entire mat
ter of the claims, direct and indirect, to
the Geneva arbitration, and is willing to
abide their decision.
Palo Baraabo, the new Spanish Minis
ter, presented his credentials. He made
the following remarks on tho occasion:
Mr. President:—In having the honor
to deliver to your Excellency the royal
letters which accredit me, as an Envoy,
extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten
tiary, of his Majesty, King Amadeus I,
near the Government of the United
States, it is very pleasing to me to ex
press to your Excellency the wishes of
his Majesty, the King, and of the
Spanish Government, for a continu
ation of the friendly relations which
have ever existed between the United
States and Spain, and of their con
stnnt desire to draw their relations closer.
It shall be my task to faithfully interpret
these relations, and, relying upon your
Excellency’s good will and the sonl with
which I shall endeavor to fulfill this mis
sion, I shall be able to accomplish the de
sire manifested by the King and the
Government of Spain. I trust, Mr.
President, that my hopes and purposes
may be fulfilled; and I beg yon, at the
same time, to accept the expression of my
profound respect for yourself personally.
The President replied os follows:
‘Admiral- I heartily reciprocate the
strengthened. It is hoped that your dis
position to promote this policy may lead
to results not yet accomplished, but
which, for some time passed have been
earnestly sought by this Government, in
its diplomatic relations with yours. You
may be "assured that for this purpose I
shall co-operate with oil the means which
may be in my power.”
Washington, April 4.—Some six Con
gressional Investigating Committees are
under way, involving the honesty of high
officials. The evidence taken every day
covers many columns. It is doubtful
whether the world will ever know the
truth, and a safe approximation to it,
from day to day, is impossible in these
dispatches.
In the Supreme Court to-day John H.
Lester recovered 875,900 against the

proved that 850,000 was in worthless
Confederate Scrip.

together with the reasons therefor.
Mr. Dawes said a conflict of this na
ture should always be avoided, it possi

lution as his own, bnt witji the advice
and under the direction of Ike Committee
on Ways and Means. He addressed the
House, urging the importance of the

in sending back what waspractically a new

cussed.
[Note.—The telegraph, last night,
brought the following to be added to the
Senate report, but singularly omitted to
bring the Senate report itself, hence the

Sun.]
Mr. Blair remarked that the Senator,
Mr. Edmonds, had, in the same debate
and at the same time, charged that the
counsel employed to defend the prison
ers in South Carolina, the Hon. Reverdy
Johnson and the Hon. Henry Stanberry,
had become disgusted with the crimes
which were proved against their clients,
and had abandoned the case. Ho then
sent to the desk to be read, a letter of
the date of February 19 tb, 1872, ad
dressed by Mr. Johnson to Gen. Wade
Hampton. In the letter Mr. Johnson re
fers to Mr. Edmond’s statement, which
he says is utterly incorrect and un
founded. So far from having abandoned
the case, Mr. Stanberry and himself re
mained at Columbia until their mission
was consummated. He also says that
there was neither the slightest testimony
nor suspicion to connect the three gen
tlemen,* to whom allusion was made, as
having any concern with the Ku-Klux
movements, and he is satisfied that Mr.
Edmunds, whom he knows would not
conscientiously do an injustice has been
grossly deceived.
Mr. Edmonds said, common report
had said that Messrs. Johnson & Stan
berry had abandoned tlite case, and he
believed it then, and, with all the de
fense, he believed it now. Concerning
his statements as to the three persons al
luded to, he had been creditably informed
that evidence to criminate them was in
the possession of the officers of the Gov
ernment, and would be produced at the
proper time.
Mr. Blair was satisfied that there was
no such evidences, and these gentlemen
had come to Washington demanding to
be confronted with the charges.
Mr. Edmonds only repeated what he
had been informed: If ^be gentlemen
could prove their innocence, he would
be very glad of it.
Several land bills were passed.
Mr. Dawes, from the Committee on
Ways and Means, offered a resolution in
effect that the substitute by the Senate,
under the form of an amendment, of the
Senate bill, entitled “an act to reduce
the Internal Revenue Taxes,” &c, is con
trary to the provisions of the Constitu-
the ^ subject and to be influenced by his
advice. The dispatch of Snmner’s when
received, will probably be of great inter
est to the Republicans all over the coun
try, especially to those of the South. We
hope to have it for publication to-mor
row.”
New York, April o.-r-The Tribune
states that Attorney General Barlow has
instituted in the Supreme Court, at Al
bany, a suit against Jay Gould and Fred
erick A. Lane, to coitfipel them to ac
count for their management of the Erie
Railroad, and restore the money they
have corruptly received.
A meeting of Master Masons and
Builders, was held at Mechanics and
Traders Exchange, this evening to con
sult on the questions of wages and hours
of labor. Thy refused a written applica
tion from the working men’s Union to
appoint a committe to confer with the
workinghlen.
A selection of working brick layers was
admitted, to urge their views. Some of
the bossses declared that reducing the
hours of labors two hours, would lessen
tho capital of the country twenty per
cent. The sense of the meeting was that
the bosses had no objection to eight
hours, provided the regulation was
universal in the States and New York.
Employees would then not be subject to
competition from neighboring States,
where men could fee gotten to come here
and work ten hours; but they considered
that the change to eight hours would be
detrimental to workmen. The meeting
did not declare any decision premature,
and adjourned after passing a resolution
of regret at the death of Professor Morse.
The funeral services of Prof. Morse
took place to-day in Dr. Adams’ Church.
The body of the church had been re
served for delegations from various bodies
which had expressed their intention to
be present at the funeral service. Among
the delegations present were Governor
Hoffman and staff, a committee from the
Legislature, the Directors of the Wes
tern Union Telegraph Company, the Di
rectors of tho New York and Newfound
land Telegraph Company; a delegation
from the Academy of Design; a delega
tion representing the Evangelical Alli
ance; The New York Common Council;
the Trustees of Vassar College; a com
mittee of three from the Common Coun
cil of Poughkeepsie, and several other
delegations of less note. The coffin was
borne into church on the shoulders of
four men, surrounded by a crown and
followed by the family of the deceased
and the delegations. Dr. Adams de
livered the oration.
