Richmond, April 27.—A large crowd collected in the upper portion of the capital building where the Supreme Court of Appeals had located, to hear the decision in the mayoralty case. About eleven a. m. the floor gave way beneath the heavy weight, pre cipitating the crowd to tho floor below, which was that of the House of Delegates. It is hard to ascer tain at present the extent of injuries, so great is the excitement, bnt some were killed and & large num ber severely injured. Many escaped the terrible fall by jumping into windows when the floor gave way* The wounded are now being attended to. Later.—A terrible calamity occurred here this morning. Tho floor of the Court of Appeals in the State Capitol gave way, and precipitated the hun dreds therein assembled, to hear the decision in the mayoralty case of Ellison and Cahoon, upon the Conservative caucus then setting in the hall of the House of Delegates below.

Webb, of this city; Schofield, a brother of General Schofield; B H Maury, Jr.; Senator Bland, (colored;) and Powhaton Boberts. It is supposed that twenty membera of the State Legislature are killed and wounded. The Judges of the Court of Appeals all escaped unhurt. Ex- Governor Wells was badly injured. L H Chan dler, counsel for Cahoon on tho Mayoralty case, was injured. James NeeBon and George Meredetb, Counsel for Ellison, were also badly hurt. About two hundred pereons were hurt by the ac cident The greatest excitement prevails. Hundreds of persons are on the Capital Square weeping and wail ing as the dead and dying are brought out of the building. Gov. Walker escaped unhurt, though on tho Court room floor at the time. Further Particulars.—In addition to particulars before sent, the following are given about 11 o’clock: Tho room of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia was crowded with eminent citizens, many local politicians and a great many of the pub lic at large, who were drawn there by curiosity to hear the result of the late hearing of tho question of the mayoralty of Bichmond. The friends of Messrs. Ellison and Cahoon, who comprise the prominent republicans and conservatives of tho city had assembled to hear the decision, which it was expected would be given to-day. Among the many prominent personage, were Ex-Governor Wells. Ex-Congressman Wilson, Judge John A. Meredith, Patrick H. Aylett, Ex-United States Dis trict Attorney for this district, Ex-United States dis trict Attorney, L. H. Chandler and others. At 11 o'clock tho gallery of the court room which was crowded, fell in; the floor followed and (hereon de- descended thirty feet to tho floor below, which was the floor of tho House of Delegates of Virginia, on which some few of the members of a caucus were waiting around. There was a general crash of all the timbers and the falling of the inside wall, in which were killed : Patrick H. Aylett, Capt. Charters, Chief of Fire Brigade, E. M. Schofied, City Assessor, and brother of Gen. Schofield, late Secretary of War; Dr. J. B. Brock, editor Bichmond Enquirer; Julios A. Hob son, City Collector; S.

Allen, Port Warden, W. Ellam, newspaper correspondent and broker, Thos. S. Baldwin, merchant, from Newark, N. J., W. D. Chesterman, of the Petersburg Index, Wm. H. Soper, merchant of Baltimore, and about one hundred others. Directly after the disaster occurred, the firo alarm was used to give notice to the people, and the Hook and Ladder Companies of the City repaired at once to the scene. A cordon of police was drawn around the building and the ladders were thrown up to the windows. For three hours after that tho scene was fall of horror. Minute after minute there appeared, swung out by a rope tied around the middle, the body of some popular favorite who, after being swung on top of the shoulders of one of the fire brigade, mangled and dead, were brought down the ladder into the green of tho pnblie park, where it was in-, stantly surrounded by two or three thousand of those who had gathered to recognize the slain. Tho park was filled with anxious weeping women and mm until two o'clock, when tho last victim was drawn from the building. After this the police closod the park, refusing admittance to any one. The bodies of the dead having been sent out, all the stores in the city were closed and placards put upon the doors: “Closed in consequence of the disaste at the Capitol.” No more business was done during the day. To night, meetings were held of members of the press association, members of tho late military associa tion, members of the bar and of the citizens gene rally. To-morrow will be observed as a day of gene ral mourning. - Pj** Cocxi* Bonds.—His Honor, C. T. Ward, •fft offers 450,000 of the bonds of Bibb r for**le.

Tajaredo was attacked near the capital of Canraguay, and suffered severely, force of cavaly was sent to their rescue, and they were enabled to return to the city. The insurgents are reported active near Cienfne- gos. A fight occurred on the estates of Santa Isa bel and Brazo, in which the Spaniards were worsted. The report was in circulation at Santiago de Cuba that General Jordan had been killed while attempting to escape by a boat. Washington, April 26.—The President ia opposed to the pending Georgia bill.

The snb-committeo of the Pacific Railroad Com mittee, on a bill incorporating and granting lands and right of way to the Southern trans-Continental Company, have reported. They say the question of right of a Railroad Company to acquire lands from the State of Texas must bo derided without refer ence to the present State Constitution. There is no do doubt of tho right of the Legislature to grant lands to aid in the construction of a railroad, hat from examination we are forced to tho conclusion that the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific, called the trans-Continental Railroad Company, by neglect to perform the work required of them, have lost tho right to demand any more lands from Texas- It is not to be supposed that tho Convention meant for the fntnre to prohibit the application of their public domain in aid of the construction of railroads, and other internal improvements in Texas. Washington, April 27—The New York Express has tho following: “The Washington Ways and Means Committee have rejected the Senate funding bill. A new bill to be framed will probably provide for a long four per cent. bond. From the fact that Mr. Howard, the minority member of a snb-committeo of three, had reported to the Senate Pacific Railroad Committee, adversely to the Southern Pacific or trans-Continental railroad, the impression has been created that the committee itself had so reported.

Washington, April 25.—A special to the Baltimore Sun says: Letters and telegrams have been received hero from Georgia which uniformly state that the people prefer the Senate bill and military mlo under it till next December, rather than have the Bullock administration perpetuated another year. The Presieent, however, again expressed himBelf yesterday to members of Congress against the Sen ate bill in such strong terms that there is a bare possibility that if it were enacted into it law he would veto it. He said that the Senate bill post poned reconstruction, which he was anxious to see closed up by the admission of Georgia to represen tation in Congress. While he indicated no special plan, his views seemed to meet those proposed in the iDgersoll bill which admits the State to representation now, and provides for the election of a new Legislature in Georgia in November next.

Washington, April 25.—The Committee of Con ference, appointed on the non-concnrrence of the two Houses on the income tax debate, is going through with the regular callend&r, mostly private bills. In the House the regular call is progressing. Harris, of Mississippi, introduced a bill granting lands to certain Mississippi railroads. A resolution indefinitely postponing the pending tariff bill was defeated by a large majority. Tho Ways and Means Committee considered tho funding bill. No result reported. Among the bills introduced is one granting right of way to the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad to the Pacific. Also one granting land to tho Selma and Femandina Railroad. Dockery offered a resolntion declaring that the honor and good faith of the government pledged to the payment of all claims of- loyal people in the South who had property taken by tho army or navy or tho government daring tho war. Objection was made, and the resolution was not entertained. Subsequently Booker offered the same resolution and the House again, by a vote of 64 to 90, refused to second the demand for the previous question and allow it to bo entertained. Several hours were consumed in hearing excuses of members who were absent on Friday evening when the House was called. The Tariff bill was resumed, but with no progress. Bnrdett, from the Election Committee, reported in the election case from the Fourth District of Louisiana, that Michael Ryan is not entitled to the eeat and that P. Newsham is.

The offer of any citizen for whom such a prerequi site ia required shall bo deemed a performance in law of such act. If such act fail to be carried into execution by reason of the wrongfnl act or omis sion of said officers charged with the duty of re ceiving or permitting such performance or oiler. The same penalties are prescribed against any person who shall hinder or attempt to prevent any citizen from performing any such prerequisite. Persona deprived of any officer except that of a member of Congress or State Legislature by reason of a violation of the foregoing provisions, may re cover possession through tho United States Courts which are given concurrent jurisdiction in all such cases. The United States District Court shall have, ex clusive of the State Coarts, cognizance of all crimes or offences against the provisions of this act, and all the officers of the United States Courts are required under penalty of $1000, to institute and enforce proceedings thereunder and tho President is authorized to employ the land and naval forces of the military to enforce its execution.

He wonld not tell things reliable from Waahington; he was in caucus last night; he wanted to speak about Bollock, and said that he didn’t know as much as himself. He was called to order and requested to take his seat, which he did. Tho motion to concur then passed. Harris, Nunnally and Brock were appointed on tho committee. Senate adjourned until 'Wednesday, 12 ir. House.—Bryant moved that tho Honse proceed to transact business properly coming before it. He thought the House should either proceed to busi ness or adjourn. Ths tax bill, the appropriation act, and the school bill ought now to be acted' on. The affairs of tbe State Road ought to be investiga ted by men' outside of the members of the Legisla ture, knowq for honor and integrity. Grave charges were made against the present management Those charges should bo investigated. The charges of Treasurer Angior against Bollock should be investi gated. If they are sustained, tho Governor should bo impeached. As one who helped elect Bullock, he stood ready, when tho charges were proven, to voto for his impeachment Darnell offered a substitute that a joint commit tee of three from the Senate and five from the reply ‘yes.’ As formysolf, faithful to my origin, I shall continue, penetrated by your thought and for- House bo appointed to wait on Governor Bullock tified - by your will and confidence in Providence, to and ascertain what was tho proper course to be pur- work without cessation for tho prosperity and gran- sued by the General Assembly under existing cir- deur of Franco. (Signed) Napoleon.” Reported dissatisfaction in party of left, headed all will vote alike. The Journal Official contains the following circu- cumetances. Phillips made a forcible speech in favor of trans acting appropriate buBinees or going home. Price offered as a substitute a resolution that a committee of three bo appointed to wait on Bullock Jar to the officers of the civil service, signed by all and inform him the House had met and was ready to the ministers: The Emperor addressed a solemn appeal to tho nation in 1852. He asks power to assure order in 1870. He asks power to establish liberty, confident of the title which is his by reason of tho right of 8,000,000 suffrages. Ho does not sur render the empire to discussion. He submits to a voto only its liberal transformation. To voto “yes” | is love for liberty. Tho revolutionary party is se cretly attacking the national sovereignty and mis representing the respect which tbe Emperor pays to that sovereignty in consulting the people. They are not true friends of liberty, bnt in spite of these the masses will march in onr ranks. Own they ig nore the fact that to abstain from voting, or to vote ■no” will he to strengthen those who only combat the transformation of the empire in order that they may destroy it and with it the political and social organizations to which France owes her greatness In the name of pnblie peace and liberty.in the name of Emperor, we demand of you all, our devoted co laborers to unite your efforts with ours. It is to the citizens we address ourselves, not as an order, bnt as an offering to patriotic counsel. Our object is to as sure to our country a tranquil future to the end that the throne as in the humblest dwelling, the son may succeed the father in peace and quiet London, April 25—It is stated that a thin slip of board a yard long, painted blue, drifted aBbore in scribed: Ciiy of Boston is sinking, February lltb. Ottaway, under authority of foreign Secretary, stated in the House of Commons to-day, that the Government has dispatches from Athens confirming tho melancholy intelligence of tho fate of captives in hands of brigands. Tho Greek Government made every effort to save them, but in vain. Nego tiations having been exhausted, troops moved against the robbers and drove them to the tower on tho coast near Crapo, where they were surrounded on Friday afternoon. Offers were once more mado to the brigands, bnt were rejected, and at 10 o’clock next morning the attack was made on their position. Asjsoon as tho troops commenced to move Her bert and tho Secretary of the Italian legation were taken out by their captors and butchered, and sub sequently when the brigands found themselves hard pressed, Vequer and Lloyd were killed. The troops finally carried the tower and the brigands, two of whose leaders had been mortally wounded, fled closely pursued by soldiers. There are strong hopes that most of the band will be captured, in which case they will be summarily dealt with by the Greek authorities. The British press clamors for punish ment of the murderers, and demands indemnity from the Greek Government. Bomx, April 25—The Council, six hundred and sixty-fonr fathers present, unanimously adopted de fide ilt. contains four charter and eighteen canons as follows: Charter 1st, of five canons on the crea tor; charter 2d, of four canons on the revolution; proceed to business and receive any communication from him. Bryant withdrew his motion. Soott raised a constitutional point of order, that under article 3d, Section Sd, no session can be pro- | longed longer than forty days, unless by voto of two-thirds. Scott contended that members had sworn to support the Constitution of Georgia and oven as a provisional Legislature, were acting un der it. Tho Legislature had been in session forty- seven days, and any act now performed is unconsti tutional unless the House resolve to suspend the rules and extend the session ten or Bftet □ days. The Speaker ruled the point not well tak-u. Scott appealed from decision. The House lufosed to sustain the call for yeas and nays, and sna: .lined the Speaker’s decision. Prico supported hia resolution in- p j '-1 i-peecb. He was in favor of treating Bu-.^cu. with due courtesy, but unwilling Bullock should do his own thinking. Bnllook was a provisional Governor. The Legislature should act. He would stay here until tho Treasury was exhausted of the last dollar, or the Common school bill should be passed. Price called the previous question on his resolution. Tweedy said be played an unfair game upon the Republicans. Price disliked to act discourteous to Governor, and supposing the gentleman had something official to state, with that understanding, would withdraw his call. Tweedy then spoke, inveighing against the De mocracy in particular. Price’s resolution was laid on the table. Tho yeas and nays being called, the vote stood, yeas 56, nays 53. Tho previous question was called on Darnell’s resolution. Turner and Porter wanted to change the phrase ology of the resolntion. Turner opposed asking Gov. Bollock what legislators should not do. The previous question was called upon the pass age of Darnell’s resolntion. The Speaker derided the motion lost. Bryant moved to adjonm until to-morrow. Tweedy made a statement upon which tho Speak er reversed tho previous derision. The Speaker announced the resolntion adopted- yeas 58, nayB 52. The Speaker announced the following as the Committee: Darnell, Price, Bril, Harrison, and Nesbit A motion to adjonm to 10 o’clock Wednesday was declared carried by the Speaker. Senate.—Harris Chairman, of the Committee to confer with the Governor, submitted a report simi lar to that made by the Hones Committee. Harris moved the adoption of the report. Candler opposed the adaption in a lengthy and forcible effort. Brock had the floor in support of the report, when the Senate took rece»s till 3 o’clock. Hons*.—Darnell submitted a report from the Joint Committee to confer with the Governor, re commending that tbe views and suggestions of the Governor, as submitted with the report, be adop ted. Tbe Governor, in his communication to the Com mittee, suggests the passage of a joint resolution adopting the appropriation act of 1869 for the first and second quarters of the present year, and an act to authorize the Comptroller General to levy tax and then adjourn. Georgia being a Provisional Government, subject to General Tony, tho Governor tamtu that the opinion of Attorney General Hoar, in the "Virginia and requiring the test oath, applies to members of the Legislature, and rites a portion of the opinion. The Governor asks that the Legislature appoint committee to investigate charges made against him by Treasurer Angier; also, to investigate the use of State funds by the Treasurer, and system of book keeping used by them. Also, that a committee be appointed to investigate the condition of the West ern and Atlantic Brilroad. These acts would meet with the approval of General Terry; then he re commended the Legislature to adjourn to some time designated by them. Darnell moved the report of tbe Committee be adopted. 1 ; , ■ , Scott made a lengthy speech in opposition to the. adoption of the report. He demonstrated from the reconstruction acts of Congress, that Georgia was not provisional. During the debate Darnell, Tweedy and others were interrupted with questions. He contended that members of the Legislature who had sworn to support the Constitution of the State of Georgia had never been absolved from it. With characteristic cunning the Governor suggested that though this Legislature is an illegal body, it should adopt the appropriation act of 1869, the 23d Section of which gives him unlimited power to rob the Treasury. DameU—We propose to investigate that robbery. Scott—Yes, but will the Governor agree to appoint a committee of five unbiased gentlemen outside of this body? Darnell—He will. Scott—I have only your word for it. Darnell—It’s not very good authority I admit. Scott—I am glad to seo that you will acknowledge the truth. Scott opposed the adoption of the suggestions of Bullock. Bryant thought that the Legislature was perma nent, not provisional. He thought the 23d Section should bo stricken out. Under this Section the Governor had drawn one hundred thousand dollars from the Treasury, and in eix months had spent eleven thousand. Under this section the Governor had drawn $100,- 000 from the Treasury in six months, and had spent $11,000 for incidental expenses. The Department opposed an unwarrantable, robbery of the people of Georgia. He warned tho Republican party of the effect of reenacting this section. The question of pay of expelled members was not mentioned in Bullock’s message. The postmaster at Augusta, Mr. Blodgett, drew five thousand dollars salary for the time he was suspended and expelled; men were entitled to their per diem while absent. Bnllock told members of this House it would be a strong card at Washington, to extend his term of office by neglecting to pay expelled members their per diem. Ho was opposed to being tied to any man’s coat tail; was bom a free man. Brice thought the present Legislature was reor ganized under the act of Congress of December 22, 1869, and not under tho Constitution of Georgia, and favored the adoption of the report because it was all that could be done under tho circumstances. He did not coincide with the committee in relation to tho test oath and Hoar’s opinion. Gan. Terry had expressed himself as opposed to general legislation at the present time, and favored an investigation of the charges against Bollock—a foil, complete and impartial investigation—and if proven false ho would do Bullock the justice to say he had been proven not guilty of tho charges pre ferred. When the appropriation bill came np to strike out the 23d section, the Speaker decided in answer to a question, that if the report was adopted the appropriation act would have to be in troduced as any other. It was taken up by sections and adopted. Price moved to adjourn till 3 o’clock this after noon. A motion to adjourn till 10 o’clock to-morrow was carried—yeas 52 ; nays 51. Geoeoia. FROM ATLANTA. Atlanta, April 27.—Both Houses moot at noon. The Joint Committee appointed to wait upon Governor Bullock and Gen. Terry made a report to either House recommending that the views and sug gestions of Gov. Bollock be adopted. Gov. Bullock in communicating his views to tho Committee, suggested tho passage of a joint reso lution adopting the appropriation act of 1869, for the first and second quarters of the present year.— Also, a resolution continuing the tax act of last year, and authorizing tbe Comptroller General to assess tax. Georgia being provisional the Governor thinks that the Legislature cannot go into general legisla tion without complying with the opinion of At torney-General Hoar, as in the Virginia case. The Governor again requests the appointment of a committee of investigation in regard to the charges made against him by tho Treasurer and also, to in vestigate the uso of f nnds by the State Treasure for the Treasurer’s personal benefit, and the system of book-keeping in that office. He also recommends a committee to investigate the affairs of the State road, and this being accomplished and approved by the General commanding the district, that the Leg islature adjourn to such a flay as thoy may deter- mine. Tbe Houae adjourned without action, until to morrow. The Senate, by a vote of 4 to 8, adopted the Bug- gestions of the Governor and adjourned until to morrow. PRESS ASSOCIATION. Savannah, April 25.—Tho Conventions of the Sonthem and State Press Associations met here to day, Representatives were presentfrom North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
