A Blunder Arrest op a Special, Officer.
Special OLUcer Brenelser, whilst at Thirty
third and Green streets yesterday afternoon,
noticed one John Leary in the act of robbing a
countryman. The otlicer arrested Leary, where
upon the friends of the latter set upon him and
beat him and rescued his prisoner. Breneiser
followed up the crowd, and at Thirty-sixth and
Market streets he made a second attempt to
arrest Leary, and he was served In the same
manner. At this time Constable Holladay, ot
the Twenty-fourth ward, came upon the scene,
and instead of arresting Brcnelscr's assailants
lie captured the special officer and inaruhed him
to the Sixteenth District Station-house. Here
the officer was identified by Lieutenant Leech
and at once released. The" Lieutenant acco in
jpanled Breneiser down Market street, and at
Thirty-third street they came across Leary and
secured his arrest. The countryman, it appears,
bad been robbed of eighty cents. The prisoner
-will have a hearing ut the Central this after
moon. Almost a Burglary. Last night, botween 9
and 10 o'clock, Sergeant" Whartinan, Officer

of Mrs. Benners, on the corner, the family
feeing temporarily absent from the city, having
notified the Sergeant of their intention to go
.way. They saw a man hiding in a dark recess,
iin attempted to circumvent him, but he was
too quick tor them, and ran oil like a scared
d'jer.
An investigation of the premises disclosed the
Jact that an attempt to force open the back door
with a jlmmyhad been mado, which would have
leen successful had not the burglar been inter
rupted IK his work. Tho officers searched the
JiitcrioB of the house and found everything lu
1 tel. At that hour not a public lamp in the
neighborhood was lighted, which fact pi evented
lue n-.i'o nition of the man who ran away.
Attempted Roiusery. About half-past 3
o'clock this morning an attempt was mado to
Ki.tr the hair-dressing establishment, Ninth
mid Arch streets. The thief or thieves

l-tass in the "ash were broken. Tho noise aroused
at mun who Mupt on the premises, and on making
:a rxiiiiiinntion he lnnd the window open and

Sixth and Vine streets, he selected a flue sugar

The Hlxth Army Corpa Legion.
This afternoon at 1 o'clock a large Dumber of
theflth Army Corps Legion met In the foyer of
Horticultural Hall. Tbo following is tho iist of
the present officers of tho Legion:
Mnjor-General William B. Franklin, President.
Major-Guuernl 11. G. Wright, Vlce-PrtRldept,
Kxecuttve Committee General T. 11. Nelll; Col.
John AV. Latin, Coloni-I P. C. AIIniBlier.
Treasurer Culoncl Samuel '1'runilell, of the 6MU
iitw York.
Kecretiiry General Joseph Jackson, N. Y.
The following gentlemen were amoug Uiose pre
sent: Generals Yfckers, Clark, anil A. E. King.
Colonels Landon, Orr, lihoclcs, Neveus, Eccleston,
and Captains Harry C. Kills, .1. B. Fasslt.
General Franklin, of Naw York, presided, and on
opchiiig the meeting spoke as follows:
Vou are an arc, gcutlemen of the 6th Corps, that
on December IS, lhO'.i, a meeting was hold In New
York which adopted a constitution ond hy-lawa
and elected oillcers for that part or the year which
expires to-day.
1 thank you lor the great honor conferred upon
me by my selection aa the first President of the or
gniilKatioii. I consider it the greatest honor which
it lias been my lot to receive. Although this meet
ing contains a (roodly iiuiiiIh.t of oillcers of the old
cor.B which was so dear to us all, the mournful
procession which 1 now moving in Troy has tiken
oir nmny who would otherwise have been here.
However much we regret the necessity for their ao
sence. it Is entirely proper that every soldier who
could go should be present in Troy to-day. General
tJonrgc II. Thomas, by hia high character, his wis
dom, his geniality, by his military record, which
was unsurpassed (1 had nearly said unequalled) by
that of any living general, would have been on
whom this country would have delighted to honor.
Cut oil' as he has been in his prime, I believe that 1:1s
loss Is severer to this country than that of any Ame
rican who has died in the last generation.
Colonel Green was appointed temporary SeoretBry.
The minutes of the last annual meeting were read
and upproved.
Colonel Latta presented the report for the year.
It stated that the corps had during the year ap
peared three times in public, once at the organiza
tion of the Society f the Grand Army ef the Poto
mac, ouce at New Yrk, and once at Norristown, at
the consecration oi me niuiiuuient eiaura iu u.u
memory of the braves from Montgomery county
who had fallen In the war.
On this occasion the largest number of the society's
members that had ever turned out were prvseut.
The display attracted great attention. A recurrence
of these occasions is desirable, on account of the
spirit of friendship which they foster among the
members. The attraction of a banquet is said to be
the best for the purpose of bringing the members
together. Tho financial eonditon of the legion Is
satisfactory. It has at least beuu self-supporting,
but. tlie expenses have been light. In case of the
sickness and need cf any one of the members, he
would be helped oa far as ine tunas wsuiu aiiow,
and special efioits would be made to raise more. iSo
such necessity has yet occurred.
A resolution of thanks was passed by the society
to the managers of Horticultural null, lor tue free
use or that buihllnflr on this occasion.
The Booiuty will to-morrow attend in a body the
meeting of the Grand Army of the Potomac, of
which organization H is a component pare
A Fropoied Cavalry league.
An executive committee of the Grand Army
oi the Potomac, appointed by General Sherman,
met this afternoon at the Continental Hotel,
for the purpose of organizing an association of
the cavalry corps of that army. The meeting
took I'laco at too late an hour to obtain a report.
The following gentlemen constitute the com
mittee: Alfred Tleaeonton, Major-General U. 8. V.;
George A. Custer, Brevet Major-General U. S.
A.; Henry E. Davles, Jr., Major-General U. 8.

United States Ministers for the fiscal year uudiug
June 80, 1870. Pasted.
The calendar wa t ken u, and tlm concurrent
resolution for a Joint coiunnHee on Indian Atl'airs
was discussed, mainly upmi t'"' propriety of commit
ting to a Joint committee, a uiiject which Involved
the treaty-making power.
Mr. Harlan favored the proposltlan as a means of
adjusting the dlirerence of opinion between the two
houses. Last year the House refused, after a certain
date, to carry Into etleet ludlan treaties by withhold
ing appropriations, and the Seuat had been weak
enough to yield the point to the Housa.
Mr. Drake believed that the resolution covered a
vast scheme of rascality, though he did not mean
that any member of either house who advocated it
w as aware of the fact, nor conld he himself put his
finger upon the proof for bis assertion, but auoli was
his conviction.
Mr. Bwwart said the proofs of the rascality, which
was known to exist, might be more readily forth
coming thaa was generally supposed, it was be
cause corrupt practices did exist, and that carefnl
investigation upon ludlan affairs was more than ever
imperatively demauded.that he favored the proposi
tion for a Joint committee.
Mr. 8uinnr inquired of the Senator from Missouri
(Mr. Drake) whether his remarks were intended to
throw any reflection upon the gentleman who had
introduced the resolution in the llouso 7
Mr. Drake replied, with etiiphaaia, that nothtnst but
the respect due to the Hnnate kept back such an an
swer to the quest ion as the Senator from M.issaclm
etm would not wish to hear, lie had expressly dis
claimed any Imputation upon any advocate of the
resolution, ond how dared the Senator put that ques
tion to him after his express disclaimer ?
Mr. Mimncr replied that, ho was glad to have the
explanation. Ho would favor any measure calcu
lated to dlschanre the duty of the Government to the
Indians, the wards of the nation.
Mr. Davis said the Constitution confided the
treat.y-niBking power to the President and the H ;n
ate, but the House had for several years sought to
encrns'-h upon and usurp a portion of tt)tpowr.
lie thooght these encroachment- aud usurpations
should he (irmly met and voted down. A two-thirds
votaof the henate was required to confirm an ludlan
treaty, but It was hoped by this Joint committee to
overthrow that, principle by making the pastngonf
te measure dependent upon the committee's report,

Tho House then, a4 the business of the morning
on Friday, proceeded to the call of committees for
bills of a private character.
Various private bills were ronorte 1 from the Post
Ofllce Committee and Committee on Indian Affairs,
and passed.
Among those from the lattor committee was one
to reserve from moneys due to the Kiowa Indians
f IO.min) for the benefit of two white captives re

Iarcntfl nud relatives, and who are ta be known as

the Third Congressional district of Mississippi, as

Mr. Dairy then came forward and took the oath of

Mr. Cake moved that when the House adjourn to

Mr. Dawes hoped that the motion would not be
agreed to, aud he called for tho yeas and nays,
wlbliing the oountry to know what members were tn
favor of going on with the public business. Rejected
yens, C8; nays, 90.
Mr. Johnson, rising to a personal explanation,
said that he had introduced, some weeks ago, a bill
to create a new judicial district In California.
It had been sent to him by a distinguished lawyer
ef fan Francisco, and he had introduced It wlthont
examination. He had since found that the papers
of Calofornlaof both parties Und been assailing him
for that act, because the proposed boundaries were
not what they ought to be. He had not Intended
that the bill should pass In the shape he found It.
After It was printed tho Uar of San Francisco had
sent him a document remonstrating against the
passage of the bill, and he now presented that re
monstrance and wished It referred to the Judiciary
Committee. It had also been charged by the press
there that ho was attempting to legislate Judge
Hoffman ont of office. That gentleman was a (lis.
tinizulshed Jndge. not, a politician, and It was not
very likclv that he (Mr. Johnson) was Inclined to
legislate him out of office for the advantage of two
Kepublleans.
Mr. Schenck honed the gentleman would tike a
lesson from that experience and never introduce
anything without examination.
