Hhetch of Hrnator Kprnitue'n Hnnrtum In YVnoh InatonIlln Opinion of that "Trlrirrnph Pole" NberpiRn-lie Admit that he In Crazy. Senator Hpragtie, or "Little Rhody'' as be Is fa miliarly known, hail attained considerable notoriety by a recent speech he delivered in the United States Senate. A number of journalists called upon him recently, and an Interesting Interview took place, which Is thus "'reported. In speaking of his recent addresses the Senator said : "I have been to New York," observed the Senator, "to make arrangementa for the print big of my speeches. I shad have sixty thou sain 1 copies printed, and If the people want more they shall have them a million for that matter must be printed. I do not think my money could tie better spent. It will go tor the Instruction and enlightenment of my countrymen, who want both these things badly. A silent, sure, and fearful weight is crushing thetn to the earth, and they do not know it, but they feel vaguely that their lire blood Is ebbing fast; that their substance Is decaying, dying, melting away; but as long as I think I know the causu and the cure, I am not going to sit. down, fold my amis, and let the coun try goto the devil. Jf I felt like acting such acoward's part,! would prefer leaving the country forever, and my means are ample enough to make life pleasant In whatever foreign land I might go to. Look here,' he exclaimed, pointing to a long row of bundles on the mantelpiece, "there are letters from every part of the nation, from men of all parties and all condi tions, asking for copies of my late speeches. Just run your eye over one of these bundles," he con tinned, handing us a lot embracing over one hundred and lifty letters received by the morning mail. We did so, and not without sincerely believing that in spite of all that is said to the contrary Hpriigne has touched the most vital chord in the popular heart. "Well, Senator," said we, "the worklngint-u of Washington call upon yon to-night. What will yon have to say to them?" "There It is," he replied, pointing to seven or eight pages of manuscript which General Halstead, a gen tleman with an iron grey moustache as large as a cataract, was diligently engaged In copying. "Does that complete the series of your speeches, Oovernor?" we asked, nsing his titles alternately for the sake of variety. "Yes, sir; that's the first series complete, I have got the Senate now, sure. I have got 'em ; yes, sir, 1 have got 'em right so," saying which the Senator laughed grimly, held up his haud, and gave an Illus tration, by donbllug up bis lingers, of the linn bold he had on the entire body of tue United States Senate. "Hot Anthony, too, I suppose?" "Yes Anthony and the whole caboodle. Got 'em In a tight place," too. They have no mercy to expect from nie." "Pray, Senator, what has been the demeanor of Uie members towards you lutely?" "Well, before, this recent occasion of my speaking In the Senate, these fellows treated me as if I was a pupry dog, to be kicked around and paid no atten tion to. If they wanted any favors from me, they came and patted me on the back, said, 'Sprairue Is a modest, nice fellow nicest fellow in the world but too modest anil too generous to get along In politics.' The moment, however, I showed them what I was and what I thought of them I was puppy dog no longer. No, sir; growled too loud for a puppy dog. I'm mastiff now, and they arc the puppy dogs." "Why dont they put you on tho Committee of Finance, Oovernor?" "That's it," replied the Senator, "I trod on Sher man's corns, and there's the trouble. The last time when these committees of the Senate were being made tip I wanted to go on the Finance Committee, hut Sherman worked against me, and got such inkes put on as Cattell and Warner And now what lave these fellows done with that long telegraph ole, Sherman, at their bead? Not a man of them knows the true science of ii nance. Think of Cattell delivering an idea out of that mutton-head of his Uwn the proper means of checking our finan cial decay! The greatest blessing that has be fallen the country is that the committees of both houses which have anything to do with our finances and taxation have hail so few of their bills passed. "People say, Oovernor, that they do not compre hend exactly what you are driving at. Some insinu ate that you are bidding for the Presidency ; others that you want to cut loose from your party, and still more state in downright terms that you are crazy." "Hold on! ' exclaimed the Governor; "let me an swer the last charge. Yes I am crazy crazy, as every reformer has been since the beginning of the world. Because I refuse to follow in the ruts of that set calling itelf the Senate of the United Suites, the cry is raised at once. "till, tprague is crazy r I win K:t them know before long exactly how crazy I am. I am not blddiug ror tnu resiliency euner. u it were offered to me tomorrow I should only take it on conditions of being at liberty to kick out of the White House every ortice-sucker that dare come into it- Not a man should be appointed under me to otllce liecause he was this man's friend or that man's supporter. I would have an Incorruptible board of examiners for every oitlce under tho Government, and no man should be appointed unless he showed the proper capacity to 1111 It. I would disregard party altogether, and put only the best men In the nation in places oi trust, but as l Know suen a condition or things can never be attained, the Presidency is not tii v ambition. Neither am I about to cut loose from my party and attach myself to the Democratic, ltoth as parties are rotten, but I intend to build up a new party, In which politics will have little to do. Mv party will have for lu one imiud principle the reform of our finances, the rendering of mouey cneap, me reuuciiou oi laxauon, me eleva tion of the working classes, the protection of labo1-, the improvement of our cotton, agricultural, com mercial, and manufacturing interests In short, the making of this country really great, strong, and prosperous. All our talk about the nigger, ul'jrger suffrage, State rights, women's lights, rebels, and so form, is only lit lor mese oiu grannies in congress. ' "Well. Governor, when do you Intend to reuew your attack on legislative incompetency and corrup tion 7" "In due time I shall have my heavy artillery In po sition, and shall blaze away at every mark worth a shot. I'm not going to waste any ammunition.. If I am attacked of course I shall reply; but In a few days 1 must go home and recruit, and by the middle of summer my health will Juc fully recuperated, and by the time congress aascmiucs again my voice will io heard aiaiut the ears of those fellows up there at the Capitol." Here we bade tho Senator good afternoon, with a fiartlng word of encouragement to light it out on that me If it took him till the return of spring. 'I'lie Miitn'MOt(i Tragedy. On the loth Instant, tho funeral of the murdered members of the Grey family took place in St. Paul's, Minn. After the services were concluded, the rela tives of the maniac who committed the frightful tragedy visited him In his cell. Towards the latter part of the interview he clasped his munacled hands together, and, raising them up, as If taking an oath, said : "Oh, I done the deed ; Uoil Almighty is going to punish me; I can't get out of it ; as God is my Judge I didn't know what I was doing." One of the neighbors bent over him and tried to soothe him by assuring him that everybody under stood that he didn't know what he was doing, and that he was not held responsible for his acts. He only replied In a despondent tone of voice: "It was my fault, and God will punish me. I was sick before that, and took some medicine that Dr. Wllley gave me. I don't know whether It did me good or harm." At this Juncture he called out, "Where is Malone?" (one of his nearest neighbors). M alone stepped forward and shook bauds with him. He exclaimed, "Oh, 1 can't repent; take me out, hang me, punish me; I can't repent, I done the deed, I done It that morning, I hit her with the grubbing hoe, I done It and can't get out of It.'' Ho was evidently becoming quite excited, and his friends thought best to bid him good-bye. Ills father advised him to be quiet and good, and promised to come and sue him every day. Just as they went out he said: "Oh, 1 want to go; 1 don't want U live any longer; I got up and went down In the morning to see about the c it tie. She came out, and 1 got the grub hoe and hit her, and then I had to go right through. They (pointing to the door out of which Ills relatives had Just gone) are all Innocent; not one of them was nearer knew any thing about it." He also asked to have the manacles removed from his feet before they should tear his legs off. After the visitors retired he beeauio calm again, and remained so until evening. Ktcwurt. Fvervbody who bas had dealings with Mr. A. T. Stewart knows how dlltlcult It Is to gain access to hln i Safely ensconced lu the second story of his mammoth establishment on Broadway, corner of Chambers street. New York, he defies a but the most persistent efforts to approach blin. The vis tor Is met Inside the door by a gentleman who Inquires what the uature of his business is, and according to as ln ortanix- It Is Judged. He Is politely Informed that Mr. Stewart Is not In, or Is very mucfi engaged, or sonTethlng else. Or It may be he I referred to Mr. IJbbTor aouw other member of the establish ment.

CUBA. Ah Klri Kelon nfVmnrrrtm Probnble- Cuimn Kerouiiition lo be DUcumed. The New York World prints In Its Washington correspondence, this morniug, the following im portant Item of news: A Senator from the Pacific coast Is anthority for the statement that an extra session of Congress will be called within sixty days. The purpose of calling the extra session Is stated bv the same gentleman to be the Intention of the administration to force issues on the Cuban business. This report startles many, but. IU getting out Is merely believed to le prema ture, not. Incorrect. It liecame known by private Intimations being given to far West Congressmen not to be In too great hurry to go home, as they might lie needed. They so far credit It as to defer, In many cases, their departure and await events. There may be other reasons at tho bottom of the In tention to call an extra session. The Cuban busi ness, however, Is accepted as the most plausible and probable reason. What Congress will do, or will be asked to do as to Cuba is not easy to StBte. Conjectures and reports, however, all vaguely portend a programme of annexa tion, If need lie, by force. Peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must: If the latter, then a partial reconstruction of the Cabinet will certainly occur, because the Secretary of State remains unalterably opposed to any and all deslgus calculated to embroil this country In war with Spain or with any other power. Indeed, he is opposed to the annexation jiolicy to the north and the south of us generally, and on this point Is not In harmony with the administra tion, it can be authoritatively stated that the Presi dent has Iieen made aware since Thursday that a very formidable expedition in openly preparing In this country at two points, New York and New Orleans, with the avowed design of proceeding to Cuba. The men at work to get up that expedition declare that the (kivcrnment will manage to let It alone very adroitly. More of the extent and existence of this enterprise can be found out in New York tban here, liecanse there are its materiel and personnel concen trating. This fact, united to the report, believed to be well founded, that an extra session of Congress is to be called for the 4th of July ensuing, warrants the expectation of the gravest events in the history of the country which have occurred for year. Cuban Expeditions. 1'aom the Savannah Advertixfr, April IX From a private letter received in this city yester day we learn that since the 2d Inst, four expeditions have left the Florida coast for Cuba. The I'oatn took out about one hundred and fifty men under Colonel Thornton, the Bertie about the same number, under Captain Broughton, and another vessel took sixty live men under Captain Jacob.. All of these parties are under the command of Major Hamilton, who, however, did not sail on the Foam, his health not permitting, as he has not yet recovered from the in juries received irom a railroad accident some weeks since. Major Hamilton has gone to New Orleans to attend to matters connected with the Cuban move ment, and will, probably, do the cause far more good in sending forward men and material than he could have done by going In person in his present condi tion of health. Condition and Numbers of the In-ureiit. Colonel W. C. Squire, one of the keenest-sighted ofllcers of the Army of the Cumberland, arrived in New York Irom Havana yesterday, having spent three or four weeks in Cuba. He says that the govern ment has 15,000 regulars and 40,000 volunteers, lie saw one review of 12,000 or 14,000 volunteers, and during his stay on the island he witnessed the arrival of hooo or dooo volunteers, mainly Irom Catalonia, in Spain. The Spaniards have 6000 Peaiiody rifles and 16,000 Remingtons. They have also a contract for jo.ooo more of the latter arm. Fivo thousand addi tional troops are expected from Spain. The patriots have many sympathizers In Havana; but they dare not show their bauds, at least until the patriots win an important battle; and should a great battle be won, or should any large consignment of supplies reach the island, hosts of Haviiucsc sym pathizers with the revolution would flock to 'the standard of Cespedes. The Insurgents, Colonel Squire says, seem to be waiting for hot weather and yellow fever to wasti ng Government forces; hence they are not inclined to risk a general engagement. Hut the Colonel fears that the Cubans may lose, If not soon recognized or materially assisted. Money and munitions are needed; but, more than all, the patriots require re coguitiuu. NEW YOS.III31VIS. From Our Otvn CuricsjwiHlent. Nkw Yokk, April IT, 1SU9. Yesterday afternoon I stood for many minutes at. the window of a certain building overlooking- City Hall Park, watching the bright emerald of the grass us It twinkled in the slant beams of the sun, and the hosts of happy-faced passers-by, basking In the warm April air and the sense of comiug summer. It was a busy, bright, Joyous, jolly scene, and one almost for got that the view was bounded by dusty Itroadway, along which crowds of over-worked artisans were liurrying home. For at that time, though tho sun shine was thick In the park, the shadows were thick along the thoroughfare, uud seemed to tinge the features of the stragglers with them. Hut in front of the old City Hall, inside the Park, and on the east side along Park Row, and so on up to Nassau street, the ground was laid with light, uud the almost sultry air deadened harsh noises, and melodiously muffled Indifferent ones. The street-cleaning contractor, ex-Judjje Whit ing, bus original views with respect to the cleauiiig of the streets. It has hitherto been the rule for Hroadway to be swept every night; Firth avenue, Rowcry, Chatham street, and Park Row three times per week ; Sixth and Eighth avenues twice per week, and all the other streets once. Mr. Whiting's idea is that this la analogous to bestowing especial attention upon the boudoir and allowing the dining-room to take care of itself. He proposes that matter shall, equalized by the bestowal of a more intense degree of scavengerlug upon tho filthier streets. If he could devise some more expeditious method of paving Broadway than the one now In rogue he would ob tain the profound gratitude of the vehicular commu nity. Tha pavlors are now engaged between Blocker and Fourth streets, and the stages are consequently diverted into the adjacent small streets. There would be little harm lu this If you were certain of coming out again at any reason able point; but once In the entanglement of these Jungle-like side streets, there Is no knowing when the conglomeration there of vehicles Of every de scription will permit you to burst into Broadway again. The lawyers who huuut the Tombs are amazingly clever people, no doubt, but occasionally they over reach themselves. One of them has Jnst done so, ami is ensconced In one of the cells of the same Kgyptlan structure whence he has obtained so many clients. A waiter In French's hotel, named Hymaii, was lately sent to prison, at the instance of his wile, for refusing to support her. Whilst there ho died, and a skulking Tombs lawyer named Anderson man aged, under a show of sympathy, to obtain posses sion of his bank-book, which informed him that the dead man bad one hundred and lifty dollars iu bank. Thereupon Anderson drew lifty for his own privute satisfaction, and then Hunt word to Mrs. Hyiuan, the dead man's widow, that If she would call upon him sho would hear of something to her advantage. Sho did so, aud Anderson informed her that he had drawn lifty dollars for himself, in accordance with a written order given him by her husband, but refused on some flimsy pretense to give her the bank-book. She then applied to Judge Howling, tbe Grand Mufti of the Tombs, who Immediately ordered the lawyer to deliver up the book. Mrs. 11 man then began pro ceedings against her Tombs counsellor, who offered to give her back the lifty dollars, or to do anything within the ImjuiuIb of reason, were he only allowed to "go." Hut the only place which the Grand Mufti do tided he was lit to "go" to was the Tombs, where accordingly he was conllued to await trial. The suake Is stung, the biter bit, the hangman hung, the headman beheaded, tbe Jailor manacled, the Judge sentenced. Howling appeared to understand his man thoroughly, and would not penult him to go Ills own bull. "Is Mrs. Coldhash going to move 7" is the qnestloi w hlch many a bachelor Imardcr Is asking himself with trepidation In view of the approaching flrst of May. It Is not comfortable, when you have paid your board regularly, and been satisfied with, tho rooms, and taken notice of the children, and not been overbearing to the servant, and not banged the front door too much on coming home at 8 o'clock In the morning It la not comfortable, nniler theso circumstances, to know that yon will In aU likelihood le ousted out of comfortable quarters by tho time another fortnight shall have passed over your head., So dreary was this prospect, In connection with the fact of not having tho wherewithal to pay for his room and "vlttles," that Mr. Edwin Rogers, a litiip-langnid literary gentleman, committed suicide late on Thurs day night, having borrowed ten cents to purchase the poison with, and written his own obituary, which he confided to the keeping of a medlumlHtlo friend. The suicide might have taken heart at remember ing the parallel case of Goldsmith, whose only alter native, It will be rememtsTcd, was to pay his land lady or marry her; bnt he preferred calling upon Mr. Conkllng, a sccdy-looklng test-medium, in the endeavor to seek Inspiration sufficient to prime him for the final act. There have been quite a bnnch of suicides this week. Paris green was formerly the famous "shuiller-on"," but morphine is most In vogue at present. Will Mr. Charles Anderson Dana accept the post of Appralserof the Port of New York ? was a question extensively asked yesterday by people who are not Intimately acquainted with him. Those who kuow anything about him have very strong reasons for be lieving that ho will not. In the first place, he looks for higher things than a paltry four thousand per annum, exclusive of Illegitimate pickings. In the second place, he and Mr. McElrath, the gentleman at present holding that office, have been life-long friends, and even were Dana satisfied with the post, it la not in the least likely that he would accept it, to the prejudice of his friend. He prefers editing tho A'un, aud evolving mcteor-Uke editorials from his Interior consciousness." On Monday evening the 7th Regiment is to cele brate the ninth anniversary of lta departure for the South during the first days of the Rebellion. The preparations will be of the most liberal description, and to this well-worn phrase the fullest meaning it is susceptible of must be given. Not less than one thousand full-sized bouquets have been ordered, it being the Intention of the managers to present one to every lady gracing the occasion. Oakey Hall Is to present the regiment with a magnificent set of colors on behalf of the corporation of the city of New York, uud Mr. Nast's new picture, representing the depar ture of the regiment, will be exhibited them for the llrst time. Independent of these arrangements, five thousand dollars have already been expended on the decorutions of the rooms; but, having used the ex pression once or twice myself In early life, I will leave it to some one else to say that the affair will be the "most brilliant one of the season." Madame Parepa, having recovered from those Ills which her lovely flesh lias for some weeks been heir to, will make her. reappearance next Wednesday evening at Stelnway Hall, which will be literally crammed with her admirers. Next autumn she Is to have charge of au English opera company, and I know of no woman who possesses to an equal extent the business gifts and habits that are necessary to success in that line. Madame Parepa is not, strictly (peaking, an artiste. She has very little of the artistic nature. She has her eye Uk much on the dollar, and may lc described as a business woman who can sing. Mr. Booth has achieved another perfectly legi timate and magnificent success in bis production of Othello, although he has not yet appeared in tho part, "lago," which ho Is best fitted by nature to perform. The scenery is far ahead of the meretricious preten sions of White-Fawnism, and his theatre is by far the handsomest iu America, and, as some think, in the world. J Au a aba, rsverdy joiinraorj.

Smalley, the Tribune correspondent located in London, writes on the ad Instant: The delay in appointing a Minister to Kngland occasions some comments which I wish President Grunt could hear. Among all our old enemies, who lor the last six months have been Mr. Reverdy John sou's warmest friends, there Is open exultation. Thev say be is not to be recalled after all. That is not 'perhaps of much consequence, since they will be, us usual, abundantly comforted by the result. Thev kiv also that even If recalled, his recall alter so long delay will imply neither dis grace to liim nor repudiation of his professions and his conduct. That is of consequence, and It would have been well If it could have been anticipated by the President and pre vented bv prompt action. I do not hesitate to sav that the retention of Mr. Johnson for a mouth as minister under Grunt's administration Is a national mlsfoi tune. It throws doubt on the position. It per mits Mr. Johnson's friends to assert,, with a show of reason, that the American press misrepresented President Grant's views in respect to Mr. Johu.-sm's attitude and his convention. They sav, and I think they have a right to say, that the de'ltiv iu removing bim is au indorsement of his course as Minister. Of course, I know It is not so meant. I kuow that three months-ago nobody was more indlguant at the humiliations put upon this country bv Mr. Johnson than General Grant. I don't "suppose ho has iu the least changed his opinion; aud I know, also, the reason alleged for tbe delav, the deplorable controversy about the Tenure-of-Oilico law and the President's reported determination to make n re movals while that dispute Is unsettled. Hut English men neither know nor care for such details. They look at the facta. They see Mr. Johnson still Minister Minister for a month after the inauguration of a President whese accession they expected as a signal for the instant repudiation of Mr. Andrew Johnson's envov. Thev chuckle over it, and wheiv they and Mr. Keverdv" Johnson get merry together over their wine, things are said which I think President Grant, if he knew them, would put a stop to, even at tho risk of conceding a point In bis struggle with the Senate. Before this letter can bo read in America, I suppose uud hope the removal will have been made, tlv complaint may seem In that case to have come alter the grievance Is removed, but I will endure that reproach. The removal now cannot do for us what it would buvedone three weeks ago. The hands can't be put buck on the clock. There Is a month during which .Mr. Reverdy Johnson has had boiue right to say he was here us the representative of a Republican, ad ministration. He lias Improved that opportu nity to make that administration responsible for soiiie of liis nu-t odious and deiradin exhibi tions. This week h has been speakiui at New castle, naiu repeating his maudlin utterances of au affection that does not cxUt except in his ex cited fancy, and of that tlesinl for compromising jurt claims which tho whole American nation has repudiated with energy.

In the new Quar ter Sessions room It was Intended to resume tha trial of ball cases before Judge Brewster, a jury being In attendance; but, though the list was culled, It was round iiuMissible to start a case, and, consequently, many indletuients were submitted without evidence. In the case or Henry Mclaughlin, convicted during the week of cruelty to a horse, a fiiio of $100 aud pay ment of costs were Imposed. In the old court-room the habeas corpus list was considered, but the cases were of the most trlvlul and uninteresting character. In the Common Pleas the usual Saturday miscel lany was disposed of.

Our local banks arc dally gaining slightly on their country exchanges, and are lending some what more freely, but tho brokers continue to be the chief recipients of their favors, and tho im provement in the market, in consequence, is more likely to escape the public notice. Tho lenders of the sidewalk are not slow In taking ad vuntage of the reserved policy of the banks, and make every effort to produce the im pression that currency is scarce, in order to obtain special rates. 1 he impression prevails in soiuo quarters that these street venders of money ure, like tho Italian organ-grinders, merely in termediary agents for other parties, who are cither ashamed of the transaction, or afraid of the nsnry law, and who negotiate loans on a so-called commission. Be this as it may, the street rates contiune exorbi tant, and are yery trying to men engaged in le gitimate business, who can ill .afford to pay the exactions or do without accommodation. This state of things will continue until the banks see lit to return to a legitimate course, of whicii, however, at present there are no symptoms. Cull loans are stationary nt 79 per cent., according to collaterals. Prime business paper ranges between i(5)12 per cent.
