The invitation was accented, and a vote of thanks passed to Union N. 1. A rsotlon of William C.

The unions reorganized were: No. 14, Pittsburg: No. is, Louisville, Ken tucky; No. 63, Elizabeth, New Jersey; No. 77, iJew Haven. The losses of the New Englnnd unions have been verv heavy, but the President hopes for better things. The Introduction of coolies among the Cris pins may awake the moulders to their danger and may teach them a lesson worth learning. In point of numbers the various unions have fallen off considerably. In October of 1868 there were re ported 113 unions and 4885 members, In January, 38M, there were 110 unions and 3903 members, in April 116 unions and 8R0O members, in July 109 unions and 3910 members, in October 93 unions and 406d members, In January, 1870, there were 104 anions and 4532 members, In April 103 nnions, 4211 members. The greatest number of unions reported s-ince last convention was in April, 1369, there being 116, and the smallest number of members 3030. On July 1, 1870, no nnions reported a membership of 49. The amout held by 104 nnions was 13, 777-04, and there were overpaid St41-79 by other nnions. In a business point of view the past six months have oeen unprecedented. With money almost a drug In the market, coal and iron much reduced In price, there has been a complete stagnation through out the country, and this has enabled employers to force down wages from ten per cent, in some cases to fifty per cent. In others; while, with the excep tion of fuel, flour, and sugar. In the prices of the necessaries of life there has been very little reduc tion. Since July, 1869, there have been received 13712-33, and the expenses have been 3M)5-34. Of the above receipts 1 191 -7s have come from members of sus pended unions. On motion of W. C. Bradley, of Cincinnati, the report of the President was filed for future actlonby the convention. on motion, 300 copies of the President's and clerk's report were ordered to be printed. The Treasurer then submitted his report, after wh kb the onvention adjourned. RACING. Probable Fatal Result. Some days ago we called attention to the fact tl.at the Mayor had issued orders for the arrest of all drivers of our steam fire engines found driving at an immoderate gait. Had these orders keen carried out faithfully, we should not have been called on to record the following ac cident from racing, which will probably end fatally: As the Vigilant and United States Bteam en pines were running up Eighth street to the fire last evening, the United States engine, which was ahead, when near Parrisb, turned off the track to the left, and the Vigilant to the right. The Vigilant 6truck the hind wheels of the United States, receiving a heavy jar, which threw the driver, Hugh Dougherty, who resides at No. 327 Dilwyn street, from his seat. The steamer then ran into a hack wkich was stand ing in front of a private residence. The hack was badly smashed up, and Robert Lloyd, the driver, seriously inj ured by being thrown from his seat to the eround. DouchertY was taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where he now lies in a critical condi tion, it is supposed tnai me unuea oiaies must have passed over him, as his head is badly bruised, both legs fractured, and the cap of one knee destroyed. This morning George Baker, the driver.of the United States, was arrested and committed to prison by Alderman Toland to await the result of Uongherty s injuries. HUMBOLDT.

Dnrtiift Am in m la Hb a lIau-F)rMlo 1n claratovapiiire ai ine nuraiars. Last tiicht about 1 30 o'clock ft daring attempt was made to rob t'uc residence of Mr. Roseer, situated on tie west side of Sixteenth street, oelow Master. It appears that Mr. Koeser went out of town some days sinco, accompanied by his family, and carefully locked np his premises and bis valuables. Notwithstanding these pre cautions. However, the gentry who nsuauy hang around the city during the summer, looking out for chances, discovered the fact that an entrance might be effected into the premises, and last night appears to have been the night set apart for "cracking the job." Accordingly, an en trance was effected by forcing a window looking into the back yard, and, once in, the thieves commenced ransacking the closets and bureau drawers for such articles as suited their fancy. They did not appear very choice In their selections, but carefully bundled np almost everything that came in their way, enough to fill a furniture car. Not being satisfied with what they could find below, they proceeded np stairs, and while engaged in packing np some bedding were accidently seen by a woman re siding on Liza street, who was Ironing. The lady Immediately gave the alarm, and in a few moments tbe entire neighborhood was fully aware of the fact that strange men were seen, acting in a strange manner, in the house which was supposed to be tenantless. The police were promptly on band, and accompanied by a posse of citizens, a raid was made through every room in the house, but without discover ing anything save the fact that an attempt had been made to rob the premises, and that the thief or thieves bad somehow or another myste riously disappeared. Leaving the goods pretty mucn as tney louna mem, me ponce careiuny went through the house and locked np all the windows, and then departed, much to the grief of the neighbors, who had set their minds on having a real first-class thief-taking excitement. Most tnings nave an end, ana alter tne people had taken a view of the top of the house, every thing settled down to its usual quiet, and the people went to bed, and, as they hoped, to sleep. But In this they were doomed to disap pointment, for about an hour after, as Mr. Buckley, of the Tax office, was composing him self to sleep, he was startled by the pounding and rumbling of a brick which came down his chimney at a rather disagreeable rate of speed. Jumping out of bed, Mr. Buckley vigorously sprang bis rattle out of a second-story window, which had the effect of bringing a couple of fiolice officers and some citizens to his door. He nquired of the officers if they had seen any of the men on the roof, and being assured in the negative, a new inspection of the premises was made, both exterior and interior, but without discovering anything new. At this juncture Mr. John Cloud appeared upon the scene and suggested that the roofs of the houses had better be searched. A ladder was procured from an adjoining unfinished house, and Mr. Cloud and the police ascended to the roof, and there, much to the astonishment of all, two gentlemen were found snugly ensconced behind the chimney of Mr. Rossers house. They were immediately conveyed to terra firma and thence escorted to tbe station-house. It appears that when the villains were dis turbed they immediately sought the roof by means of one of the windows, which was subse quently closed and locked by the police on their first visit to the premises. The gentlemen made efforts in different directions to descend from the roof, but were foiled in every direction. At length the happy Idea of sliding down the chim ney and into the nou6e crossed their micas, ana they Immediately proceeded to put the idea into execution; out, unfortunately, usi as tneir efforts were about being crowned with success, a loose brick on the adjoining chimney of Mr. Buckley was knocked off, with the result here inbefore described. PROBABLE MURDER. A Man Found Dead la Frankford under Very Niiapicioua t ;ircu instance l'w womenAr rented en Suspicion. This mornlns, at a quarter after 8 o'clock, informa tion was received at the Frankford Station-house of a man having been round dead at a house ou Old Front street, near Nicetown lane. The Information was received from the father of the deceased, who Is a milkman, living aoout half a square below the house where the death took place. He went there this morning to serve milk, and was told that the death had taken place. Suspecting foul play on tne pari oi iue wue or tne man, wno is a loose character, he went to the station and lodged information against; ner. On the receint of this Lieutenant McClee and Ser geants Shields and Shuster proceeded to the spot and made an examination. The man was found lying on a bed in the second story, wrapped in the bed coverings and perfectly stiff. One arm was thrown over the head and the other lay on the breast In splints, it having been broken by a fall from a wagon about two weeks ago. The head and breast were very much discolored, as if from suffocation. There were two women living In the house, one known as Mrs. liooley, who is said to be the wife of the deceased, and another named Aun Hays. Both of these bear very poor characters. They were both taken in charge by the officers to await an exami nation, and the house was pnt under gnard until the Coroner, who was immediately summoned, should arrive. The dead man's name was Charles Brown. lie was about twenty-nine years of age, and was for merly a soldier. Be has not been engaged In any occupation for some time past. About two weeks ago ne received f ooo uountj money irom tue uov. eminent. It is not yet known what has become of this, or whether it can be found or not. The woman lloolev is said to have had some seven or eight nua bands, all of whom have been made away with in some unaccountable manner. Tbe woman Ann Hays, who was living in the house, and who has always been very intimate with the wife of Brown, was formerly married and lived on Nlcetown lane, near Frankford road. Her lias- band some time ago was murdered under very sus nlcious circumstances, and a man named William Gormley was arrested, tried, sentenced, and served nis time out in prison tor complicity witn tne crime. The women were both in liquor when arrested, but stated that the man had been alive at 7 o'clock this morning. The officer, however, thinks that this can hardly be possible, because of the great stiffness of the body. He thinks that he must have been dead at least ten hours before the fact was discovered, which was about eight o'clock. It is thought that the man may perhaps nave died in a tit, he being subject to them, though the evidence points strongly in another direction. When the father came to the house he found crape on the doors and windows, but the women sad not sent for an undertaker or taken any other action. The father of the man is strongly of the opinion that foul play has been used. The Coroner will hold an inquest this afternoon, when further information may be encitea Interesting Exercises. TheSunday School exercises of the Irlnity Presbyterian Church, corner of Frankford road and Cambria street, will be repeated this evening, by request. When these exercises took place a few weeks ago, they were largely attended, and many who ue sired admittance were debarred. Persons desiring to witness the performances should go eany. Shells. A sneak-thief named Bonlamln Bloomfield last night entered the residence of a Mr. Hart, on Erie street, below Fltzwater, and stole from off a parlor mantel a lot of valuable shells. As he was making his exit a policeman captured him, and Alderman Collins transferred him to the charge oi tne Keepers of iiotel de Moya.

Special DemaJelti . 4 Kvrning Telegraph. Washington, July T The Senate amend ments to the Tax bill were, on motion of Gene ral Schenck, referred to-day to the Committee of Ways and Mean . The committee will meet this afternoon for the purpose of considering the amendments. It is thought they will agree to the majority ol the amendments made by the Senate, or at least the important ones. The amendments about the income tax, the ship ment of imported goods in bond, and several others of similar character, will be accepted. It is the intention of General Schenck to report the bill to-morrow. Funding the Debt. The committee of conference on the Funding bill has now been appointed by both houses, and will meet to-day. The feeling in favor of uniform four per cent, bonds seems to be growing among Senators and members, though Secretary Bout well is still opposing it with all his might. The contest in the conference committee will be on this feature of the bill. The Secretary is very anxious to . have some amendment added com pelling the national banks to exchange their six per cents for the new bonds, but this is gene rally regarded as out of the qnestlon now. The Pat. Woods Case. The case of Pat. Woods, charged with as saulting Congressman Porter, of Virginia, was taken up this morning, and Mr. Bingham made a long speech on the importance of making an example of Woods. The House, by one majo rity, refused to adopt the resolution of Butler to imprison Woods until the end of the present Congress. The report of the majority of the committee, to imprison him for three months, was then adopted. The Democrats voted solid in favor ol Woods being sent to Richmond to await the action of the criminal courts for the offense. Woods was - taken in charge by the Sergeant-at-Arms, and will be confined in the District jail. Another Indian Delegation.

On motion of Mr. Cnllom, the Senate amendment to tbe House bill to Incorporate the United States Freehold Land and Emigration Company.and to aon li rm certain legislation In Colorado Territory, was concurred In. On motion of Mr. Schenck, the House insisted on Its amendment to the funding bill, and agreed to a comnilttee of conference, and the (Senate amend ments to the Tax bill were referred to the Commit tee of Ways and Means. Mr. Davis (N. Y.) asked to have the Senate amendments to the Naturalization bill taken up. Mr. Finkelnburg said he would object, unless the amendments were to be concurred In. Mr. Dawea said he proposed to ask the Honse to non-concur, and he moved that the rules be sus pended. The amendment was non-concurred In, and a committee ofconference ordered. The rules were not suspended IT to D2, less than two-thirds In the affirmative. The HoDse then resumed the consideration of the case of Patrick Woods, in custody of the House for an assault on Mr. Porter, a member from Virginia. Mr. Brooks, of Mew York, made the point of order that the prisoner should be present while his case was being tried In this police court, as he termed the House. Tbe Speaker overruled the point of order. Mr. Woodward stated the legal objections that ha entertained against the resolution reported by the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Potter argued against the idea of there being a question of privilege involved in the assanlt, and consequently against the jurisdiction of the House In the matter. Mr. Bingham closed the discussion by an argu ment in defense of the propositions c ntained In tne majority report and (against those laid by tbe mino rity. The question was taken on Mr. Butler's amend ment to extend the term of Imprisonment until the 4th of March next, and it was rejected yeas, 8d; nays, 89. The vote was next taken on the resolution re ported by the minority, directing Woods to be Im mediately turned over to the Hustings Court of Rich mond, Virginia, to lie dealt with according to law, and It was rejected yeas, 66 ; nays, 120. a party vote. Mr. Davis (of N. Y.) moved to reconsider the vote Whereby Mr. Butler's amendment was rejected. Mr. Butler In that connection desired to have a let ter read, but as tbe previous question was operating the reading was precluded. . Mr. Jtldridge moved to lay the motion to recon sider on the table, and on that tbe yeas and nays were ordered. Mr. Brooks (of N. Y.), remarking that It was evi dent that the day was to be fooled away with this cane, moved that the House adjourn. Mr. Majuaid inquired whether Mr, Brooks was rw 'jred to filibuster on behair ot his friend. Tat Tooils, but Mr. Brooks did not hear the remark. After seme time consumed in votes on dilatory motions, Mr. Davis withdrew his motion to recon sider, and moved to suspend the rules and adopt the resolntion reported fey the Jsdlciary Committee, directing Mr. Woods to be imprisoned In the jailor the District of Columbia for three months. Agreed to yeas, 119; nays, 97. ine rjpeaner announced tne appointment oi Messrs. Schenck, liooper (Mass.), and Brooks (N. Y.) as tbe committee of conference on the Funding bill. Mr. Jndd. from tbe conference committee on the Currency bill, made a report and proceeded to ex plain it. He ended his remarks by stating that the adoption of the report was the only mode by which the South could obtain at this time banking facilities. Mr. Randall opposed the report, declaring that If there was one thing on which the people were deter mined it was that there should be no more nat'onal bank currency issued. If tbe 8 per cents were to be redeemed, it should be done by an additional Issue of greenbacks. He moved to lay the report on ttie table. Mr. Cox opposed the report, and announced his intention of voting to lay It on the table. All such legislation would be in vain nnless they come to the specie basis. Mr. Ingeraoll also opposed the report Mr. Randall withdrew the motion to lay on the table, preferring to let a direct tots be taken on agreeing to the conference report. The report was agreed to yeas, 100; nays, TO and the bill now goes to the President for his signa ture. . FROM EUROPE, GREAT llRITAlW. The 8pnlh Complication. London, July 7. There is much excitement not only here, but on the Continent, in view of tbe threatened European complication on the subject of Prince Leopold's candidature for the Spanish throne. Despatches from Paris say there is a strong feeling in France even outside of official circles against the bestowal of the Spanish crown on any Hohenzollern. The tranquilizlng assurances of the French Emperor have exerted a beneficial effect in Paris, particu larly on the Bourse. Thin Morning's Quotations. Rentes this morning opened at 70f. 95c, or 15 centimes higher than the closing of yes terday. British Consols opened decidedly lower to-day, in sympathy with French Rentes, which have declined heavily within the past few days. American securities, which are also off a trifle, were influenced eolelv by the price of gold at New Tork. The Seltz Defaulter Released. Glasgow, July 7. The brothers Seltz, the New York tobacconists arrested charged with forgery, have been discharged in surveillance on entering into bonds for 13,000, an amount sufficient to cover their alleged defalcation. The Oneida Sufferers. London, July 7. Subscription lists are cir culating here and at Liverpool for funds in aid of the families of the officers and sailors of the United States steamer Oneida, which was run down and sunk by the British steamer Bombay. Sir John Lubberlck, of London, Is at the head of the movement, and it bids fair to be a sue cess. FRANCE. A Frauco-Auatrlun Alliance. Pabis, July 72 P. M. It is asserted in well informed circles that an alliance between France and Austria has been effected. The Spanish Complication. Paris, July 7. The authorities have been assured that fully three-fourths of the members of the Spanish Cortes are favorable to the ele vation of Ilozenzolleru to the Spanish throne. There seems to be no doubt that the King of Prussia is also favorable to the project, and re fuses any explanation in reply to the notes from the French Government. Despatches from Madrid announce that at a Council of Ministers held yesterday, the course Prim had taken was unanimously approved of and the candidacy of Prince Hohenzollern accepted. They author ized the Minister of Foreign Affairs to present the name of the new candidate to the Cortes, which will probably be convened expressly for that purpose. The Council of Ministers hope that the Prince will receive more than 170 votes, the minimum required by the resolution passed by the Cortes on the 3d of June. The Prince is expected to arrive at Madrid early In November. The Spanish fleet will be despatched to bring him. 'The Gaulois (independent organ) has the fol lowing in its issue this morning: "General Prim, in reply to the despatch of Senor Olozaga, Spanish Ambassador in this city, asserts that he acted with the consent of Regent Serrano, un officially and outside of diplomacy. Finding a difficulty in obtaining a candidate for the Spa nish throne, he addressed the Prince of Hohen zollern, who unites many desirable qualities, but whose personal importance was thought in sufficient to give umbrage to France. As such an emotion has been created, General Prim re treats, and assurss the French Government of the sincerity of his intentions.'.' The Gaulois adds: "This question is settled so for as Spain is concerned. It remains to be seen what Prussia will do after the scene in the French chambers yesterday, and the unequivo cal declarations of the Duke of Grammont." TURKEY. The Viceroy of Egypt. Constantinople, July 7. The Viceroy of Egypt has arrived here. He was well received by the Sultan. CHINA. Safety of Foreigners. London, July 7. A telegram received from Fekin to-day announces that order has been re stored, and measures taken which will assure the eafety of all foreigners. FROM JVEW YORK. Fire la Syracuse. Sybacuse, July 7.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in reply to an inquiry ad dressed to his office respecting the liabilities of wine manufacturers from grapes, berries, or fruits of their own growth, renders the following decision: Manufacturers of wine from grapes, berries, or fruits of their own growth are not liable to special tax as manufacturers or liquor dealers for selling such wine at the place where the same is made. Where such wines are sold, how ever, at any other than the place of manufac ture, liability to payment of tax as liquor dealers is incurred; and where wines are manufactured from grapes, berries, or fruits not of their own growth, they should pay special tax as manu facturers and as liquor dealers for selling their products, whether selling the same at the place of manufacture or otherwise. This ruling re verses the decisions of former Commissioners. The Currency Hill. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, July 7.

Rumored Defeat oft he Npnnlards Opposition to Emancipation. Havana, July 6, via Key West, July 7. De rodas will probably go to Santiago de Cuba. Salmazada has left Bayama to go there also. Troops in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba are acting altogether on the defensive. Colonel B.almes, who is in command of Santiago de Cuba made demand for reinforcements, but is unable to get any. - Various reports represent positively that the Spanish troops had been defeated in several en gagements recehtly with the Insurgent leaders, Diaz and Gomez. The situation of the Spaniards in the Eastern Department is unfavorable. The planters are holding meetings, and nearly all of them refuse to obey the emancipation laws, and will resist freeing their slaves. Large amounts of money haye been raised to send to Spain in order to avoid the execution of tbe law, and to secure its repeal. . FROM JiEW ENGLAND. Naval Coart-.Martlnl. Boston, July 7.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon a meeting of the Committee on Railraads .of Councils was held to consider the proposition to modify the lease held on the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The mer cantile community had been Invited to be pre sent and give an expression of their views upon the subject, but at the hour named but few per sons outside of tbe committee had arrived. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company was repre sented by Colonel Thomas A. Scott and Edmund! Smith, and J. Alexander Simpson and James Whetham, two of the city directors, were pre sent. Mr. Franciscus, chairman of the committee,, stated that the document which had been referred to the committee showed that the city directors knew of this important matter on February 14, 1809, and yet they had not called the attention of Councils to the subject nntil June SO, but one week prior to the adjournment for the summer vacation. J. Alexander Simpson, one of the city direc tors, explained that, although the.stockholders of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad knew of this modification on February 14, the directors knew nothing of it nntil the Saturday prior to June 30. Colonel Scott explained at length that the change which was proposed to be made in the lease was to pay all of the net earnings to the Philadelphia and Erie instead of 30 per cent, of the receipts, as at present. This he conceived to be a necessity for the development ef that part of the State. C. D'Invilliers, a stockholder of the Philadel phia and Erie, opposed the modification. No action had been taken when our report was conclnded. N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY. From the X. Y. Herald. "Wall street Is all at sea agaln.owtnfr to the revival of the currency and funding questions in Congress,, and the markets closed heavy and extremely dull. "The gold market baa suddenly assumed activity, and closed strong this evening on tne apprehension of complications between France and Prussia con cerning the succession to the Spanish throne, while it was thought that France and Russia would de clare war against Ohina nnless satisfaction was afforded for the recent massacre of Christians in Pekln. Little credit would be given these reports were It not that the quotations for five-twenties abroad have declined, which In financial circles Is Interpreted as an Indication that there Is really some foundation for the unfriendly attitude of France towards Prussia. The earliest quotation of gold was Ills, from which there was a decline to 111)4, just before the Bale by the Government. Tbe bids at the Sub-Treasury being limited to a trifle more than two millions assisted tbe weaker feeling, especially as the Acting Assistant Treaau rer, Mr. w. G.White, advertised that, in accordance with Instructions from Washington, be should, on Friday next, receive bids or il,3&3,686-97 in gold, being tbe July interest on the United States Five-twenty bonds held by the Treasurer of the United btates as custodian of tbe sinking and spe cial funds, and on Monday rece'.re offers of United States Five-twenty bonds for .nvestment of the pro ceeds of such sale of gold . On receipt of the news from Europe tbe price suddenly ran np to 11174, the 'bears' being frightened at the turn the market toek, particularly as they bad seen nothing to dis courage, but were, ea the contrary, encouraged by tbe dullness and In lower rates for exchange to add to their speculative sales. "The early decline In gold rendered Governments dull. Its subsequent advance led to more activity, and prices Improved, the best being made at the close of the day. "The money market was easy and unchanged as to rates. The general rate on Governments was three and on stocks four per cent, on call loans. Trlme commercial paper was quoted 6)4 to 6)4 per cent, discount. Foreign exchange was dull on the basis of 109109 for prime bankers' sixty day, and llQjWQllO for sight sterling bills."
