The "Tlmrn" on the Krle Rallrond. Lokdon, May 19 The 2't'mes of this morn ing has a remarkably bitter editorial article on the alleged mismanagement of the Eric Rail road affairs and the course pursued in relation to Its shares In the stock market. The article asserts that the standard of commercial morality is lower in the city of New York than any where else in the world. What here in England Vould be deemed crimes are there regarded as master pieces of financiering. It concerns the American people to purge themselves of this reproach, though it will be a task equal to the abolition of slavery. The Late Yacht Race. The Times also has an article on the yacht race. It says that there is no schooner in England, probably, that can sail with the Ame rican yacht Sappho, which throughout the match was bandied by her English captain and tho crew under his personal direction. The Daily News of this morning explains that the telegram published on Tuesday by tho Cen tral Press Association announcing the award of the prize to the Sappho was premature.. It was late yesterday afternoon when the Sappho was finally pronounced the winner. The judges arrived at this conclusion from the Cambria's having disregarded the official instructions regu lating the race, but which were faithfully obeyed by the Sappho. The Fenians. The Telegraph of this morning has a sensa tional paragraph giving the strength and plans of the Fenian organization in this country. Important Spanlnh New The Struggle for the 1 nrone. London, May 19 The news from Spain to day is important, though conflicting. Despatches received from Madrid direct report that the Council of Ministers have determined to confer upon Regent Serrano the royal attributes, if no candidate for the throne it found within a rea sonably short time. On the other hand, some of the Continental news agencies just forwarded telegrams are to the effect that the Regency will thrust the crown upon Espartero in default of any other solution of the situation. It is believed in some quarters that his resolution to decline the crown is not absolutely final. ship New. Qubknstown, May 19. The steamship Malta, from New York for Liverpool, has arrived here.

CONCHIES S. Menate. Cbnf 11114 from the Second Edition. The hill would in practice repeal the well-matnred re gistration of Maryland, and all other registrations sub stsntially denied to election officers a fair trial, because when cbsrged with interference witb colored voters thay are to be tried in the United Ktates District Court whera the marshal who summoned the jury held his position by virtue of his politics Under the bill it would not be safe to talk to a negro beiere an election baoause he was to have the right upon his single unsupported affidavit to o .use the arrest of any man when he may charge with a supposed interference With bis right. Mr Bchura said that in attacking the legality of th fifteenth amendment the Democratic members ha 4 hoisted the true tlag of their party and had widened the discussion beyond mere technical points. Th Republican party was charged with having revolu tionized the (institution of the country by the fifteenth and other amendments. He did not deem it proper to plead ' not guili" to the charge, but would admit the fact. We have passed through a revolution with a corres ponding change of the Constitution. In illustration of this be contrasted the doctrine of Brute sovereignty and slavery arguments before the war with th present Gov ernmental policy in enforcing the three great constitu tional amendments abolishing slavery, securing the rights of citizenship, and enfranchisement of the colored raoo. IIoiimc. Continued from the Second Edition. Mr. Hale addressed the House In support of the bill re viewing the history of the decline of American tnniage and argaing against the repeal of the navigation laws as the thing which would give the fatal blow te American ship building. Mr. Ailisen opposed the bill, because in his judgment it did not propose to revive foreign oommerce, er at least it would not have that effect, whilo it did a great many things that it ought not to do. To vote a subsidy for ship builders and ship owners in the coasting trade, as the first section virtually did, in allowing a drawback of duty on all ahip-bnilding materials, was to put their hands inte the pocketsof the people withont aey reason whatever. He argued as to the impracticability of an hontst casea tion of the drawback system aa proposed in the bill. He believed that under the operation of the first sec tion twenty millions would be taken out of the Treisnr in nve years, ana mat tne general enact 01 tne Dill would be, not to promote foreign trade, bat to enrich those engaged in what was practically the coastiug trade. The inornieg hour expired and the bill went over till Tuesday next. tiuiH were introaucea ana referred as follows: By Mr. Surgent. to facilitate the transmission of Asiatic, Australian, and Kuropean merchandise into aad aerobe the territory of the Unitod Ktates, By Mr Woodward, amendatory ot several acts for the removal of causes in certain easec from State courts. 1 Bv M r.

The House at TW went into Committee of th whole. Mr. Ingersoll in the chair, and took up the Ooasular aaa Uipioaiatic Appropriation diu. Mr. Ktlsev. a member of th Oommrtteeon Appropria tions, in charge of the bill, explained its provisions. The bill, he said, appropriated $9&Mi47, which was $177,697 less than for the current year. The appropriation for the iission to Paraguay was emitted Dooause there was no govsrnmant there that the United States could recognize. The coiunii' tee had followed the precedent of last year by providing that th minister resident at the Argentine Bepublie should also he accredited to Uruguav, altlmegh tbe admin istratien deemed it necessary to scad a Minuter to Uraguay. If that nomination should be cennrened by the Senate, an amendment to the bill would teeieeestry. Appropriations were omitted fethe consulAte a' Odessa, Revel, and Moscow, the consulates at these places being useless or nearly sc. the fees col lected tilers last year being : Moscow, $30 ; Odessa, (9120 ; Bevel, nothing. He said he would offer a proviso to th item for contin gent expenses, requiring vouchers in all cases tn be pre sented t"ibe prober accounting officers of the Treasury, the certificate of the i'resid.nt not to be deemed a proper Voucher. He explained this at some length, aa reterrinc to the expenditure of the secret servioe fund, and read a certificate of President Johnson authori.ing tbe allowance of 9106,610, which he was imfurmed and believed was intended to he spent in coaneotion with tha Bt.
