ovnr ,r 7.titt. ir ( .tJ I THE DAluY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA TUESDATrJULY12p 870.-- KEWfl SURUVXAHY. I Hy Affair. , A bdbsb meeting of journeymen tailors favoring Ibe formation of ft new lodge of the rAtriarcbal Order of Adam was held last night, in the American Mechanics' llall, on Sixth street, above Carpenter. The rectifying house of James Patten, No. 2124 Market street, has been seized by Revenue Officers Clark and Herr, on the alle gation that the business was carried on in fraud of the revenue law. Besides the tubs and apparatus used in the rectification of spirits, there were about two thousand gal lons of whisky on hand. At a temperance convention held last evening it was resolved that a committee be appointed to wait upon the clergymen and officers of the various churches in our city, for the purpose of soliciting the use of their churches for weekly temperance meetings, and also for procuring public halls for the same purpose, and that said committee report at a future meeting of this convention. The body of an nnknown oolored man was found drowned in the Delaware, above Iliverton, New Jerisey, on Sunday. From the appearance of the body, which evidently had been in the water for some time, it was supposed his death was caused by violence, and the jury, summoned by Justice Garby, of Iliverside, rendered a verdict that the 'de ceased bad come to his death at the hands of seme person to the jurors unknown. It is supposed that the deceased was a waiter or steward on board of some vessel. He had on au apron and his Bhirt slaves were rolled up, as if at work at the time 'be met his death. The commencement of the Northeast Girls' Grammar School, Crown and Race-' streets, took place last evening. At a meeting of the Port Wardens yes . terday the following important resolution was tdopted: Whereas, It has been reported to this board that pilots coming up the river in in fected vessels are in the habit of leaving quarantine and coming up to the city of Philadelphia; therefore liesolvcd, That any pilot leaving a vessel in quarantine and coming up to the city of Philadelphia without an order from the quaran tine physician shall be deprived of hia branch for six months. The family of Mr. Robert Spencer, No. 429Dickerson street, First ward, were startled yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock by hear ing footsteps in the adjoining house, occu pied by the family of Paymaster Deleur, United States Navy, who are at present absent from the city. Mr. Spencer set watch, and in about an hour saw two men coining out of the alley with bundles in their possession, and knowing all was not right, followed the men until he met Police Officer Elias P. Cope, near the Navy Yard, where the thieves took to their heels, running up Front and down Washington avenue. Officer Cope, after a fcuflle, secured one. The other ran into a house No. 815 Bird's alley, closely followed by citizen Spencer, who arrested him. The prisoners gave the names of Oscar Wilkes and Byron Bettson. They were lodged in the Southwark Hall. They are well known to the police authorities as professional cracks men. Ibe real name of the former is Thornley. "Jimmies" were found on them. The house was most thoroughly ranaacked, and every article of value bundled up for re moval. The prisoners will have a hearing at the Central Station this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Domestic Affair. Gold closed yesterday at 113j. President Grant goes to Lang Brar ch on Monday. Great excitement prevails in Cuba over the European complication. General Duncan has been appointed Assistant Commissioner of Patents. Mr. Moses H. Grinnell, ex-Collector of New York, has been confirmed as Naval Officer. The mines at Last Chance, Wyoming, have been deserted in consequence of the recent Indian raids. It is thought that the report of the con ference committee on the Funding bill will pass both houses. It is proposed to introduce coolie labor in Canada for the completion of the Toronto and Nipissing Railroad. The continuation of Murphy, the candi date for Collector of the Port of New York, was carried yesterday. In the House, yesterday, after the close of our report, the Senate resolution appro priating $50,000' to pay the expenses of the Indian delegation to Washington was passed. The resolution declaring Mr. Segar not en titled to a Beat as Representative at large from Virginia was adopted. Pending a motion to go into Committee of the Whole on a substitute for the Senate bill appropriating $225,000 for the construction of a pier near Lewes, Del., the House adjourned. Foreign Affairs. Serrano says he had nothing to do with the nomination of Prince Leopold. Our squadron has arrived at Brussels, and its officers have met with a worm recep tion. A conspiracy, having for its object the declaration of a republic, has been discov ered in Spain. The Dacia has arrived at Cienfuegos, Cuba, and the laying of the cable brought by - her will be immediately commenoed. No official communication relative to the reported massacre in Pekin has been received in either England or France. France, it is asserted, will not agree to a Congress of Powers until Prussia has yielded on the question of Leopold's candidacy. A Rome journal denies that the Pope has brought any coercive pressure to bear upon the ' members of the (Ecumenical Council. England, Mr. Gladstone announces, will exhaust every means to prevent war upon a cause so little warranting it as the Spanish crown nomination. A report was current in Paris last even ing that a despatch had been received from Prussia intimating tnat the Kino; had con tented to Leopold's acceptance of Prim's oner. There was quite a panio in the London and Liverpool markets es terday, owing to the Hohenzollern complication, but by even ing a quieter feeling prevailed, the impression fast earning ground tnal a peaceful settle ment will be effected between France and Prussia. The establishment of a direct all-railroad communication between Mew i ork aud Quebec is at last an accomplished fact, by the formal oncnlne of the Uaseawippi Valley Railroad from North Derby, on the frontier line, five miles north oi Newport, VI., to xennoxruie, Canada, where It forms a connection with the Grand Trnnk Railway. . - .-Negotiations for a poetal convention be twp.cn the United States and France have been reopened by the French Minister under instruc tions from his Government. Postmaster-General Creswell has submitted modified propositions ef a liberal character, based upon the provisions of the new postal convention wuu north uer- pty, which will probably be approved by the 4 remit Uvtvitaueufc.
