to (Dnttoro gtecnto. H. V. JIORTIIIMK F.DlIOn. LUIIiailTO.V, 1'A.I fiATimDAY MOBN1NO JANUAKY 10, 1871. Hon. Coleb Cushtng, appointed by the President JJInister to Spain, vice Gen. Sickles, resigned, 1ms accepted, and his nomination Us been confirmed by the Senate. Attorney General Williams, In a let ter dated tho 8th Instant, withdraws from tho nomination to tho office of Chief Justice. No other nomination has yet been made by tho President. The N. Y. Sun wants to know whether It is "Just riglit to tax a poor man's tea, coffee and tobacco In order to pay Gen. Grant $50,000 a year In stead ot tho $25,000 for which lie agreed to servo the people?" , Ex-Sheilff llrenncn and, his deputy, Shields, of New Tork, have been found guilty of contempt In disobeying tho order of Court and allowing Henry W. Genet to escape from custody, and sen tenced to pny a fiife of $250 each and 30 days In the county jail. Tho pews In Plymouth Church (Henry Ward Heecher's) were sold on Monday evening last. Tho amount realized was $50,470, against $00,232 lat year. The highest price paid for one pew was $530, which 'was knocked down to Mr. C. O. Dennis, and was tho fifth choice. Tho report of Senators Graham, Itutan, and Davis, Special Commission ers from Pennsylvania to .the. Vienna Exposition, recommends the appropria tion of $1,000,000 from the State Treas ury In aid of the Philadelphia Centen nial, and says that Pennsylvania is already committed, by tlu legislation of last session, to aid tho project. It also dwells on tho advantages that would accrue to tho city and State. Tho Hon. David B. Hellish of New York Tuesday Introduced a bill to pro vided a national currency, which lias several Important and popular features. It provides for tho substitution of legal tender notes forlhenatlonallanknotes, atid that a certain proportion of these notes shall bo received In payment of customs. The bill vvns referred to the Committee on Hanking nnd Currency, and it is known that several members of that committee favor tho principle of the bill. The revised estimates were laid be fore the House Tuesday. The only ma terlal reductions are mado by the War Department, which pares dpwn over twelve millions. It is noticeable, how ever, in the revised estimates for pub lic Improvements, under direction of tho War Department, that there is no paring down for work to be dono in Washington City. The same lavish cs inatesasked for Improvement of squares, reservations, White House and grounds, and all that sort of thing, are again re ported. Uii paring down In liver and harbor Improvements and public works in other sections of tho country Is al ways vigorous and often sweeping, but in that favored latitude the expenditures aro to be heavier than last year. Gen. Sherman was before tho Com mittee on Military affairs Monday and Tuesday, In response to an invitation of tbo committee, to give his views on on tho subject of reducing the expenses of tho army. Tbo summary of his opinion, is that tho force ot the cavalry, the artillery and tho Infantry is now at Its minimum, In view of tho extent of Jand and sea frontier which It lias to cover and protect; that if tho pruning knife is to bo applied at all, It should be only to the engineer and staff corps over which he has no control, and that with the exception of the forts in New York and Boston harbors, Fort Alca trazlnSan Fiajicltco harbor, and soma of the forts In Portland harbor, Maine, tho other sea -coast defences of tho country are not of tho slightest im portanco, and should not have another dollar spent on them. Ho recognizes tho possible contingent Importance of Fort Schuyler and tho fort at Wlllet's Point, Now York, in the event of the Hell Gato channel being opened, but thinks that until that time no expendi ture should bo made there. The representatives of thirteen lead lng Western railways recently met In Chicago to tnko measures forabolUhlng tho deadhead system. They resolved to limit the distribution of free posses over each road to its own actual em ployees, ilvo or six of the leading offi cers of other roads, and the agoutg of tho principal cxprcs;, telegraph and transportation companies whose con tracts call tut passes. About fifteen Athrrcompaoif have since agreed to tbe resolution. The nw eonitltutlnn fl ,JVifliy'lijiiand law of Illinois jirobfWt th IsffulDf? lo 'those Stale ot passes by railroads to any but persons actually In tho service of tho roads; but wo fear that certain usclul and favored individuals will continue, to travel with out.paylng fare. Either corrupt legis lator and officials will be conslderedas actually In the service of the company1, or conductors will be Instructed to for get to call for their fare; or, what is more likely, freo tickets will bo sent to them and charged to the contingent nc- count. Whether clergymen and coun try editors ride freo Is a matter ot con- sentience only to themselves and tho companies over whose lines they travel; but whether Presidents and Governors, Congressmen and legislators rldo with out paying over the lines of companies from whom they are honestly entitled to no special constderal Ion, Is a matter of public moment.

Tho House was called to order at 11 o'clock. Mr. Newiueyer, Allegheny, offered tho following resolution: Besolved by the Senate and House, that It Is the truo Intent and meanlne of the new Constitution that the first session ol tho General Assembly elect- en unuer its provisions ueglns on Hi first Monday ot January, 1875. an i ih members ot the House thereof shall l-e elected at the general election of 1874 Mr. Webb was not opposed to tho subject matter of the resolution, but thought It should bo laid over for one day, in accordance witli tho rules, and prlutcd, and it was accordingly laid over and ordered to be printed. The secretary or tho Commonwealth. Mr. Quay, presented thu annual mes sace ot the Governor, which was read. Jan, 8. The House was called to or der at 11 o'clock. Mr. Foster (Schuylkill) offered the following: Resolved, 'lliata special committee of nine bo appointed to act Jointly with B..U..M4. vviilllMlltD 14UIU MIC AJCUUIV, should the Senate appoint one, and if not act separately, lor the purposo of Inquiry into thu condition and affairs of banks, trust companies, savings funds, and Insurance companies; and also that sam committee inquire into the causo or causes of the recent panic, and re port to tuts nouse such information as they may obtain in reference to tho money market generally. Mr. Cross moved to postpone the resolution. Agicedto. A resolution from the Senate to meet the House In'Joint convention at noon, auucouui me votes ror state Treasurer, gave rise to a short debate as to the. law for the case. It appeared to be con ceded that there win no act ot Assem bly ruing the time tot counting thu votes, xue uou&e agreed to meet llie senate at noon. The Sneaker and member, of the 6onaW being Introduced, the twobouw proceeded to open and count the votes for State Treasurer, tho convention meetlue for Mil purpose tinder the Joint resolution to that effect passed at nils morning's session. A Washington d'patch, dated tho 8th Inst., says: The Indications nre that the Committed on Banking and Currency will ropoit a bill looking to tho winding no of all national banks. Tho temper of the House. Is decidedly In favor of tho substitution of Greenbacks for the national bank currency, ami If a well devised bill for that purpose li reported from thu committee It will undoubtedly be nassrri. It Is doubtful, however. whether tho Senate cimld'be brought to tho view of the House. The, Actors In the Last Per formance In Madrid. The names of those who ficuro In the so-called conn d'etat in Madrid and In the new Cabinet clearly indicate tnat the ocTiirrences of Saturday and Sun day last aro .but the preludti to the restoration ot a monarcny in opain, Gen. Pavla. who Is reported to hp a friend of thu, deposed President Cas telar. lsnotouly if to Bepubllcan. but he Is a member of one of tlm most aris tocratic families of Spain. He served tinder his uncle, the Marquis or Nova- Itches, who coninmnded thu Queen's army at the memorable battle of Alco lea. That, battlo was fought between the royalist troops' and the! forces with which Serrano was then advancing from Cadiz upon Madrid; and tho defeat of the former obliged tho Queen and Gen. Jose de la Concha, her last Prlmo Min ister, to seek safety in flight. Not one of tho new cabinet Is a republican. Admiral Tooete. the colleacuu of Ser rano, nnd w in Willi nun proclaimed n Itepubllo at Cadiz, remained with his fleet at the latter port while Serrano strangled the republlo at Madrid, ba uasta was the Minister of Amadeus, who vainly endeavored to persuade the King to overrmo mo constitution. Za vala, Flguerola and Becerra are bu reiucrats of the purest water, and ser- vllo worshlnners of tho rising sun. Whether Prince -Alfonso or the Duke of Montpontier be ultimately called to the throne, the farcical republic of Spain, of which our Administration has tried to make a cover for Its own blun ders and cowardice, has terminated In a ridiculous fizzle.
