Albany, March 23 Never In the history of this State bae there occurred bo marked a political diversion as characterized the proceedings of the Assembly to-day. It was not altogether unex pected. There was a buzz of expectancy when the Speaker sounded his gavel and called (ho House to order. A singular circumbtance may here be men tioned, evidencing a premeditated plan on the part of the general commanding, which was that at no tune tins session were so many uepuou caM in their scats. After unanimously adopt ing a resolution to pay the widow of the late George Wakeman the entire salary to which he would have been entitled for his services as ste nographer, Speaker Hitchman announced the special orders for the day, the charter, the Police bill, and the Supervisors' bill. The House resolved Itself into Committee of the Whole, with Mr. Murphy, of New York. In the chair. The first bill considered was the l'ollee bill. Mr. Smith, the Ucputy Clerk, read it through by sections. The reading occupied about ten minutes. When the bill had been read through and no amendments had been proposed or opposition offered from any quarter, tbe Chairman asked the further pleasure of the House. Mr. White then rose, aud was proceeding to deliver an anathema against the bill, when the Chairman declared all debate, after a bill had been read, out of order. Speaker Hitchman, who was oh the floor, raid that there was no disposition on bis side of the House to cut off debate, and Mr. White was permitted to continue. Mr. Kieman and Peter Mitchell followed in opposition to While, but the first sensation ex perienced in tbe House was tbe speech of Owen Murphy, who declared that ho for one intended to vote against the bill, as it did not suit hltn. He was in favor of electing and not appointing the commissioners. Ho also stated that be was an independent man, aud would vote as bis con victions prompted him. The people of his ward opposed a bill which placed T11ICKSTEKS AND THIEVES IN OFFICE. An exciting personal controversy between Owen and Lurry Kieruan ensued, in the course of which Owen charged Klernan with skedad dling from the chamber many times in order to shirk voting on several measures. The excite ment reached blood heat after this discussion. The members, however, maintained their com posure and preserved their dignity. All were anxiously wishing for a vote to be taken, ia order to set at rest the truth or tintruth of the rumors that were afloat, for as yet the recusant Democrats who were to vote against the Young Democracy were not known. Mr. Klernan and Speaker Hitchman again earnestly besought their brethren from the country to stand true to the New York delega tion. Mr. Klernan then moved that when the committee arose they report this bill to the House and recommend its passage. The Chair man put the question, and Mr. KJernan'a mo tion was carried without opposition by a viva voce vote. Some persons not posted in parlia mentary strategy breathed freer. The know ing ones, however, felt the more certain that THE BILL WOULD BE KILLED. The Committee of the Whole then took up the new charter, and, without debate, agreed to recommend its passage to the House. There was agaiu no opposition from the Republicans. The situation was becoming desperate. The Supervisors' bill was only progressed that is. the committee agreed to report progress on the bill. Not having gone through with it, they asked leave to sit again. This is done to spare the committee the pleasure of hearing the bill read through, and to move, when in the Hoise, to disagree with the report of the committee and order the bill to a third reading. The com mittee having finished the consideration of these three bills, Mr. Murphy descended from the chair and Speaker Hitchman resumed his scat. Mr. Murphy, taking a position at the bar of the House, addressed the Speaker and reported the action of the committee. Speaker Hitchman then said: "The Committee of the Whole have had under consideration a bill to reorganize tho police department of tho city of New York, hare made no amendments thereto, and have instructed their Chairman to report this bill to the House and recommend its passage. Tho question is ou agreeing with the report of the committee."- Hardly had the labt words left the Speaker's lips when THE MEMBER FROM BLIGO, Mr. Dennis Burns, jumped up, and at the top of his voice shouted: "Mr. Speaker, I more to recommend this bill to (he Committee on Cities, with instructions to strike out the enacting clause, and upon that motion I move the previous question." "No! No 1" resounded from all sldos. "You don't want to kill tbe bill 1 What do you mean, Burns?" Several members left their scats. The leaders oi the democracy were tor tho lirst time con vinced that the conspiracy would inevitably succeed. The Republicans suilled comnlacentlv. Hasted winked at Alvord, and Alvord winked at Gleason. 1 he call for the previous question was seconded by a vote of 70 to 43. The Young Democracy voted en masse ajralust ordering the i ; m i i previous question, xms was THEIR FIRST DEFEAT, but still k was no test. Mr. Klernan moved to divide the question. He asked that the vote be first taken on the motion to recommit to the Committee on Cities. Mr. II us ted immediately sprang up, ana, moving me previous question, called for the yeas and nays. The previous question was seconded. Thus all debate was cut off, and the young Democratic orators were once more GAGGED. This was the first test vote. As each Democrat was called by name the greatest anxiety was manifested to hear hit. vote. Mr. Baldwin, of Gueens connty, was the first Democrat to vote in favor of Mr. Burns' motion. . Tho commotion that followed was intense, Genet. Creamer, Nor ton, and Tweed were seen hurrying to and fro, urging the Democrats to STAND BY THBIB COLORS. They might as well have argued with so many sicn-uosts. Husted, conscious of victory. lytjmlv f urveyed the s;:cco. Old Salt, wearing a ch rnblc smile, gracefully smoothed down bis silver locks. The other Republicans were In ecstaclcs. Before the clerk had half concluded culling the roll a sufficient number of Demo cratic voles had been secured to refuse to recom mit tbe bill without Instructing the committee to ttrlke out the enacting clause. The vote stood 07 to 45. The motion to strike out the enacting clause was carried by a vote of 70 to 42; of the yeas 21 were Democrats. THE SHATTERED RANKS OF THE YOUNG DE MOCRACY. On the announcement of this vote dismay and consternation were pictured on the faces of the Young Democracy. This vote settled the fate of the three bills pending in the committee; bat Mr. Klernan. taking the bull by the horns, single-handed and alone for there was no other orator to help him determined to fight till death. He changed his vote for the purpose of reconsidering, and requested that tho motion lie on the table, in order that the bill might be perfected at some future time. But the unre lenting Husted, who led the new combination, refused to show the Young Democracy any quar ter, and again, aided by his traitorous allies from tbe Democratic side, tightened his grip, aud killed Mr. Tlcrnau's tuotlou by a vote of 70 to 42. Mr. Klernan, on hearing this announce ment, raised his eyes to heaven, aud said that within the last twenty-four hours THE DESTROYING ANGEL bad passed over the house of Israel. Mr. Jacobs, humiliated at seeing tho Democratic party dis graced by unprincipled scoundrels, turned to Husted and sarcastically usl.cd him, as the leader of the new majority, to do him the favor to permit tho House to adjourn. The Republi cans responded by derisive roars of laughter. ' MR. 4ACOI1S' ADDRESS AT THE GRAVE. When the name of John O. Jacobs of Kings was reached, that gentleman said he deprecated the position in which the Democratic party ou this lloor had placed themselves. For seventeen years the cltv of New York bad been burdened with oil ions Republican laws. Now she asks a Democratic Legislature to relieve her from the incubus. The people of the State had asked the repeal of obnoxious laws, but wo see hero to duy that their expectations and their rights had been betrayed, lie warned DEMOCRATS TO BEWARE how they trilled with the people. If they did not now stand true to principle it would be a long time before the people would again intrust them with power. ino city ot iNew ioik, through her delegation, bad asked for these bills, and it was our duty to pass them. But what is the result ? Democrats are voting with Republicans against abolishing these commis sions. It was a disgrace. He saw that there was no further use of voting upon these bills. He could see by the cheerful faces of his Republican friends here how they were eujoylng their tri umphs. He suggested that no further votes be taken on these bills, as it was given out they were to be killed. Jacobs spoke with unusual warmth and earnestnees. Peter Mitchell denounced those Democrats who hud voted with the Republicans, and charged them with SELLING THEIR VOTES. lie wished them joy in their new associations. iV. Y. Huh lo-day. THE RICHMOND WAR. Fllilit Between tbe Police nnd the Negroes fclitbt or Another Hind Helween Ueueral l iiiiby and (Governor Walker. The Richmond Enquirer of Tuesday has the following: After the close of our report of the municipal troubles, at 12 o clock Saturday night, every thing passed off quietly until night before last. The Council, at Its meeting Saturday morning, passed an ordinance directing the police force of the city to disperse oil collections of persons (.white or colored) whlcn numbered twentv or more, when found on the streets of tho city. The police were instructed to enforce this ordi nance and to disperse an crowds seen in mo streets. On Sunday night, about 8 o'clock, Can tains Tvler and Eones. in charge of a detail. consisting of Scrgeaut Dabuey, Detective Knox, and privates Taylor and Bush, were patrolling .Monroe ward, ana iouna near tuo corner or Jefferson and Marshall streets, in tho im mediate vicinity of tho engine- house, at the corucr of Brook avenue and Marshall street, a sqnad of negroes, numbering twenty-five or thirty. They ordered them to disperse and go peaceably to their homes, which order they refused to obey. Tne policemen de termined to eniorce tne oraer, ana arove mem, without any violence or drawing arms, across Jefferson to Broad street. When they reached this point tbey made a stand and showed a dis position to light. A parley was going ou, when Private Taylor looked around ana saw a negro secreted under tbe portico of the house occu pied by Ben Scott, the notorious negro scoun drel, taking deliberate aim with a musket at Captain Tyler, lie cauea tuo attention ot uo tective Knox, who immediately seized the muzzle of the gun and tumed It up. As ho did so, the negro tired nuu shot ou a part of the lorcnuger ot Knox s rieut nana, wnen this snot was tired the policemen drew their pistols, and in an in stant tbe firing became general on both sides. Whilst it was going on a volley was fired by a party of negroes in an alley near the scene of the hgnt. me negroes were soon routed and driven off. Beveral were wounded, but were carried off by ttieir friends. When the fight was over, private Bush was found lying near tbe gutter, dead. It is supposed ho was killed at tbe nm lire, but, was not seen to iau, as tne ngnt was hand to band, ana the whole party was mixed up in the melee. As soon as the streets were cleared private Bush s remains were brought to tho City Hall and laid out in one of the jury rooms. He was on duty as a special Eoliceman, was about thirty-live rears of age. a aker by trade, and was a peaceable, indus trious, and honest citizen. He leaves a wife and one child. YcBterday afternoon, about 5 o clock, Bon. Scott, the notorious ringleader of all radical negro villainy in the city, was passing down Broad street in cnarge ot a policeman, having been arrested near the Third ward station, and when near City Hall was attacked by several of the special police and very narrowly escaped with bis nie. cut one snot was urea and that took effect In the lower part ot his arm aud in flicted a slight wound; the ball didu t enter the wrist joint, and is a very small aitair. One of ths special policemen was about to fire agiln when several others saw it and prevented him. Scott fcr&s taken up into the Mayor's office and his wound attended to. He is so insubordinate and has been at the bottom of so many disturb ances that no sympathy was felt for him. OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Yesterday General Canby responded as follows to Governor Walker's letter of Saturday night: flEAllOUARTBRB DSl'ARTMBKT OF VIRGINIA, RICH MOND, March 20, 1870 To his Excellency Gilbert C. Walker, Governor of Virginia Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt this morning of your communication oi yesierusy. I concur fully In your statement of the constitu tional aud statute laws In relation to tho employ ment of the military arm of the Government against Invasion and domestic violence. The rules lu that respect and relation to the aid that may be glvun the civil authorities in the service of the process, or In the euiorcement of the decree of the clvU court, are clearly laid down; but the instructions or the President aud of the Secretary of War, referred to in my communication of yesterday, relate more parti cularly to different and exceptional cases, where one or the other of the parties u a contest dis regard the usual legal remedies and seek to esta blish or to maintain their rights by other means. Csses of this kind have not been Infrequent in the States that were engaged in the Rebel lion, and your own observation has no doubt shown yon that they have occurred In other States, although the Instructions referred to relate specially to the former. The duty imposed upon military commanders in cases of this kind Is to make timely disposition of PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAKC1I 23, 1870. irors wr.cn there is reason to aptrehnnd a ni s tv fr their use, aud by U'e'r passive Interposition between hostile parties avert the dangers of colli sion. "Department commanders, and in cases of necessity, their subordinates, are expected in this regard to exercise upon their own responsibility a wise discretion, to the end thftt In any evest the peace my be preserved" leaving all legal ques tions Involved In the controversy to be settled by the appropriate civil tribunal. I recognize fully the delicacy of this question and the responsibility that I have assumed ; but I should have Incurred a far greater responsibility if i had failed to Interpose, and thus prevent a collision which, with the facts before me, was Inevitable unless that action had been taken at the time it was; and as the action of the military in this and In similar case Is for the purpose only of preventing hostile collisions, lam utterly unable to son how it can be sttendid with any other result than the pre servation of peace and order. A copy of this correspondence will be submitted for the Information of the Secretary of War and the President. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. JUtt aw vauii l , Brevet Msjor-Gcncral i '-otnmundtng. To this Governor Walker yesterday afternoon sent the following rejoinder: If your construction ot your orders and Instruc tions be correct, they ought, at once, to he modified and placed In harmony with the Constitution and laws of our country. The position which you seem, Inferentlaliy, to assume, that the peculiar character of the controversy between Mayor Kllyson and Mr. Chehoon Bilonls some justification for your inter position, Is entirely untenable. I do not find any authority for It In tho Constitution and laws, as to the proper construction of which. It appears, we are boihsgricd. It ran only be found, If found at all. in the latltndlnous construction of your "orders and Instructions," which, yon maintain, and which, if pursued to Its logical sequence, will reduce the United (States army to a mere police force, eventually superseding the State and munlclpul conservators of the peace throughout the country. As matter of factl also utterly disagree with yon that there was any occasion or necessity whatever for any Interference by any extraneous authority In the municipal affair of this city; but, on the contrary, It Is my confident belief, as hereto fore expressed to you, that but for tho hope of In terference by the Federal military, the disgraceful rebellion ngalnst the lawfully constituted authorities of this illy on the part of an ex-Mayor aud a few ignorant aud deluded followers would not have lasted one hour. I am exceedingly gratified that you have decided to lay this correspondence before tho President and Secretary of War. My personal knowledge of and commence In the high soldierly and statesmanlike abilities of both these exalted public functionaries forbid that I should for one moment, doubt that they will promptly relieve you from the execution of orders which, if your construction obtains, are not warranted by and cannot, no executed wirnout a vio lation of the fundamental aud statutory laws of the United States. With sehtlments of high esteem, I am, General, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Gii.iikkt C. Wat.kbk, Governor of the Commonwealth of Va. JAIL DELIVERY. Cumberland Inoenrtlnrle Hrrnk Out T'vo of lie v firm f.HCiiie. From the Cumberland Transcript of Monday. It has been generally predicted on all hands that the prisoners recently captured and placed In jail would make their escape unless closely quartered. The fulfilment of this prediction was accomplished Inst night. Tho prisoners were allowed to occupy the hull into which the cells open, until about I) o'clock. Shortly before that hour they succeeded by some means in digging through tho wall of one of tho rear cells, making a hole sufficiently large to enable them to escape into tho jail yard. Once In the yard, they had little difficulty in getting over the wall by means ot tlieir blankets, Policeman Ncill heard them while yet inside the wall, and ran to the Sheriff's office in front of the house. to notify the Sheriff. Just at that time Leo Albaugh and Dennis Begun jumped to the ground and escaped. Joe Albaugh jumped im mediately afterwards, but fell aud broke one of his legs, and was retaken. Brady Ilum- mclshimo was also on the wall, but made his way back to the yard on discovery, and thence to the jaii. Albaugh and Regan were both seen going up tne railroad to Folk street, about one hour after their escape, and a squad ot men were sent in pursuit, but failed to overtako them. The two prisoners after crossing the viaduct made their way to Lynn's wharf, where Albaugh at onco found means to cross the river to Virginia. Five policemen went to the wharf, and at the upper end found a man named Ilancy.who had a canal boat there. Just us they arrived a skiff pushed from the canal boat with Regan in it. They at once opened fire on him, but he jumped over bonrd.nnd keeping the boat between himself and his pursuers, paddled to the Virginia shore. The officers procured another boat as soon as pos sible, and followed, but could find nothing of the fugitives. Hauey was arrested and is now in confine nicnt. Joe Albaugh was carried back to his cell and Dr. E. P. Duvall called in, who dressed his wound. Had not the noise been heard as quickly as it was the whole baud would have been oif lu a very few minutes. As soon as the escape of these parties had been made known, there was the most inteuse excitement throughout the whole community, and curses loud and deep were heard from all quarters. The escape of these men is a very tin tort unuto piece of business. The Sheriff had been warned time and again of their character, and certainly knew the insecurity of tho jail, because Ragan has twice before broken out of tbe same, and less than two weeks since Cham berlain escaped. The warning was disregarded two of the most desperate rascals are gone, and tbclr ven geance may at at any moment demonstrate it self by the application of tho incendiary's torch, or other outrage. The Sheriff last night, after earnest solicita tion, consented to call on the military for a guard, and stated tnat lie bud objected, because he teared the military might undertake to rescue the prisoucrs. SHAM SPIRITUALISM. The Davenport Trlckn-A Citizen ol Washing, ion E.of Tlieiii. The Washington Star of last evening has the following: Mr. W. II. Gaines, who proposes to be on hand at Odd-Fellows' Hull to-night at the seance of Charles 11. Read, has published a card, in which ho suys: "I was at a 'seance' given by Charles 11. Read at the residenco of Dr. M. McEwcn on Saturday evening, March 19, 1870, at which time and place said Read pretended that while his hands were securely tied, rings, chairs, etc., would appear around and in his arms and the cords by which he was tied, without his hands being loosed, and while they were In the same position they were when tied. This I proved, to the entire satisfaction of the unpre judiced portion of the audience, to be a deception and a fraud, by allowing myself to be tied as he was, and slipping tbe ropes from my hauds, and again replacing them in the same lutsltion after DUltlug a chair on mv arm, as he did; aud I also explained to the audi ence the manner in which I believed his other tricks were performed, and then offered to bet him 150 that he could uot perform any of his tricks if he would allow me to tie or hold him, which bet he in a very discourteous and disre spectful manner declined. I now am willing to bet t50 that if be will allow himself to be tied as I direct, or allow me to hold him, and place the articles used by him out oi uis reacn, and no confederates allowed near him, that no manifes tations advertised by him will be made." The New Brunswick Legislature recently pusseu a law auousnmg imprisonment ior debt, but, greatly to the disgust of the people, the Supreme Court has steDued in and granted an injunction restraining tbe Sheriff from releasing prisoners from custody, holding that, under the British North American act, local legislatures uuve no jurisdiction. BRAZIL. Itrlnri of the Troop-Yellow Fever Drouth Jeaaltlnbaaha Meoator 11 Tbe Position of Lopes. Rio de Janeiro, Feb. 23. The country, al most tired out with waiting for Its returning heroes, may now rest content. The first de tachment of the volunteers have arrived from Paraguay. Many bad begun to wonder whether any Brar-llian troops were coming home or not; and the clamors at last became so loud, and the attacks on the Government were so frequent and so severe, that the Ministry, loth to take upon themselves the responsibility of tho detention, made an official declaration to the effect that orders had been sent again ond again to Condo d'Ku for their retnrn. But there can bo no longer any doubt. The array is really on its retnrn march. A brigade of volunteers arrived yestenlay. The Emperor and his suite were among tbe first to welcome tho returning veterans, going aboard of the steamers immediately upon their reaching tho city. Afterward, he personally assisted lu the debarkation. The troops made a formal entry of tbe city marching through the principal streets, w hich were handsomely decorated with flags and crowded with people. The night probably will bo one of wild excitement. The theatres will be in full blast, and tho N.itioual Hvmn will be sung everywhere! The present Blckncss in Rio is extraordinary. Old residents here tell me that uothlug like it has been known since lbftl. Almost every one is or has been sick with fever. Tho large ma jority of tho cases, however, are slight, the lever not lasting more man a oay or iu, uhv followed by many days of weakness aud, in some instances, ot prostration. The sioknus in most of these cases is not considered yellow fever by the physicians. Tho drouth, which is also widely complained of, is not confined to Alogoas, miserable as that quarter is from its effects. It is felt also lu the Provinces of Scr glpe and Planhy, and doubtless all along the northern coast. From Serglpe we learn that the sugar plantations havo been forced to stop work lor want of water; and tne crop, wuicu in auy event would have beon small, will now, it is tald, be a total loss. A week since died another of tho prominent Liberals of tho country, Yiseondo de Jequitln- bonliu. He was a Councillor of Slate and a Sena tor of the Empire, representing his native pro vince of Bahlu. His life hud been a long and eventful one, and his death, though reasonably expected on account of bis advanced age, is another severe blow to the Liberal party, whose ranks had already been sadly thinned by similar losses during the past year. Torres Honien bus received the highest num ber of votes cuBt for Seuator of the Empire in the late election that took tiluce in the Province of Rio Grande de Norte. This will give him the first place on the triple list that must be pre sented to tho Emperor for selection, lie is con sidcred a man of fine ability, aud lately occupied the position of President of tho Bank of Brazil. Q liven tne Bramans tueinseives seem u ou in the dark regarding the actual position of Lopez. 1 hey spoke lately of crossing the Apa, and full ing upon the rear of the euemy there posted. Now. the Ana Is a tributary in the extreme north of tbe Republic, distant iu a right line, say 100 leogues, lrom San Pedro, tho central position that Count d'Eu is reported to have taken to direct his campaign. But Paranhos, the Minis ter, also speaks of tho enemy retiring across tho River Aeuerev. which is a tributary of tho Parana in the extreme east of the Republic, dls- tant another 100 leagues, iu a right line trom sail Vodrn In nthnr words, immriue a riirht-anirted triangle, with tho right angle placed at Ban Pedro; and the perpendicular aud base lines, each measuring 100 leagues in length, terminat ing the former at the River Apa in the north, and the larter at tho River Aguarty in the east. Finally, imngine the hypotheneuse filled up with the great Sierra of Maracaju and tbe score or two of rivers that pour down from either sido, and yon will have a very good general idea of the theatre of operations. Any one looking at tho map will appreciate at once the great natural strength of Lopez's posi tion, and understand something of the enormous difficulties with which tho allies have to con tend. Lopez is furnished with a natural for tress, iu the immense mountain rango of Mara caju, with its two fronts lacing the foe. His movements are perfectly coucealed behind this great natural curtain, aud ho cau easily deceive the allies, now showing a stronger force in the north, and now suddenly shifting himself to the cast; for it will be observed he has a most im portant advantage in being able to always move upon interior lines. INDIANA SCHOOL DISCIPLINE. A Boy Mnrriered by his Tcncher. The Greenfield (Indiana) Commercial says: William Dunn, teacher of the school in the Judkin district, about four and a half miles northwest of this place, killed Theodore G.int, one of bis scholars, at noon of Tuesday lust, under the following circumstances: toung (iant had the crook of a parasol handle sticking in his boot top, and the teacher told him to take it out. liunt, tmuKiug tnat me teacuer una no right to control him in such a matter, during recess of school, refused to do so, and the teacher attacked him, which Gant repelled by holding up a stick of wood between himself and the teacher. Gant then threw down tho stick of wood, went to his seat, and continued eating his dinner. After looking at him for a moment the teacher said to a small boy near him, "Give me a poker and I'll kill tbe ," adding an in decent epithet. Tho boy handed him the poker, when he walked deliberately over to where Gant was sitting and struck him on the head, just above the forehead. Gant walked home, but was unable to speak,' and walked the lloor for some time, when he went to bed aud about 11 o'clock la tho eveulng died in convulsions. His mother knew nothing of what was the trouble until about half an hour before he died, when one of the school children told tho story.

One said "they were thero to rob her that they were going to put her to sleep." They said "there was 110 use for her to rcslBt, for she could not help herself." They came in an air ballooD, she said. One asked her "if she wo aid rather be shot in the face or the head?" at the same time placing a pistol to her face. She said that she could not bear that, and turned her back towards them. They finally made her get up and give them six thousand doUars iu United States bonds, which she had in one place, but she had $1000 In a dress pocket which they did not get. She had a very valu able gold watch, which was in plain sight, and yet they left it. After supplying themselves with the bonds one left, while the other re mained half an hour longer In her room. When he left she made an alarm at the window, and finally a watchman came, but too late to catch the burglars or find any trace of them. Detectives Mitchell and Llnpincott have beon examining the premises to-day, and say there is no sign of any person having entered.
