pleasant sight to see the little ones enjoying
themselves, and affecting the manners of their

Washington, July 27,1868.— 8ef0re the hoar
fixed for adjournment to-day, the Senate lobbies
were crowded with an anxious throngof office
seekers, watching the fiction of the Senate upon
Executive nominations,. .The nomination of
Alexander Cummings for Commissioner of In- ;
ternal Revenue, was sent In last night by the
President, and was under consideration when!
the hour of adjournment arrived,which carrlos.it
over fill the next meeting of the Benate,the pres-!
ent adjournment being merely: a recess. In the !
meantime, speculation is rife as to whether the
President will forthwith accept the resignation of;
Commissioner BoliJds, and appoint a' successor
ud interim, or allow Rollins to discharge thodu-'
ties of tbe-offleo till his successor is confirmed,
which is the condition attached to his resigns-,
tlon. Seme Kepublicans.tbink Rollins is jnsti
fledin holding over until the Senate confirms his
successor, but there is some diversity of opinion;
od ibis point; as others, maintain that it is not in
the power of 0 subordinate to attach conditions
to a resignation presented to a superior officer, :
and that it is an absoluto withdrawal from the
place whenever the superior sees proper to ac
cept it," without regard to any conditions it may
contain. This point will doubtless be settled in:
a few days, upon the opinion of Attorney-Gene
ral Evans.
PENNSYLVANIA NOMINATIONS.
... The nomination of John P, G’Neill as United
States Attorney-General for tbe Eastern District
of Pi nnsjlvanla was not acted on, consequently
the President will be called upon to make a new
appointment, and he will probably appoint
O'Neill.
Tbe nomination of Percy B. Spear as Collector
of luternal Revenue for'tbe Seventh District,
comprising Chester and Delaware counties, vice
Bwoyne, to be removed, was acted on, and Spear
was confirmed, but on account of some home in
fluence being brought to bear against him, on the
part of Republicans of the Seventh District, who
did not seem to know who Mr. Spear was, or
what reason there could be for removing Swayno,
against whom there was no complaint. Spear's
nomination was reconsidered, and laid on the
table. Spear was a friend of Senator Cameron,
and his nomination and confirmation were under
stood to bean equivalent for the confirmation of
O'Neill as District Attorney, but It seenm the
arrangement fell through, for neither was con
firmed.
THE CONTRACT FOR PRINTING POSTAGE STAMPS.
The bid 6 for this contract were opened last
week at lhe Post-office Department, the bidders
being the two New York bank-note printing
companies, Messrs. Butler & Carpenter, of Phil
adelphia, and a Cincinnati firm. The two latter
firms were the lowest bidders, approximating
about the same figures, but the Cincinnati firm
presented no evidence to show that they were
engaged In the business or had a fire-proof estab
lishment. Experts have been several days exam
ining tbe workmanship of the different bidders,
in regard to quality and fineness of work, tbe
test of, Bntler <fc Carpenter’s skill being in inter
nal revenue stamps, which they printed' lor the
government for several years past. The con
tract for postage stamps is a very heavy one,
continuing for four years from September next,
and will amount in the aggregate to several mil
lions of dollars. The chances seem to be In
favor, of this work being done in Philadelphia,by-
Messrs. Butler & Carpenter. It is thought tbe
award will be made to-morrow.
DISCHARGE OF REVENUE OFFICERS.
Commissioner Rollins has notified all the
Revenue Agents, special agents, and Revenue
Inspectors, about 400 in number, that their
cervices will not be required after tbe 30th Inst.
Among the numerous applicants for appoint
ment as supervisor of Internal Revenue, are
many assessors and collectors, throughout the
country, who appear to think it a better position
than those they “ now hold. ■ The salary is only
£3OOO per annum, bnt the power conferred upon
each is far greater than that now exercised either
by collectors or assessors, and their jurisdiction
will extend in some cases over two or three
States. They are authorized to suspend assessors
and collectors from their duties, whenever they
ibink it necessary. The appointment of super
visors is made by the Secretary of the Treasury,
od recommendation of the Commissioner of' Inter
nal Revenue
Twenty-five detectives at $4 per day, will also
be appointed by the Commissioner, as necessities
of the service may require. AU the gangers and
inspectors of spirits are also out of
office, and others will be appointed. Every dis
tillery has a storekeeper, to be paid by Govern
ment @5 per day.
STATUES FOR THE LINCOLN MONUMENT.
Among tbe distinguished civilians selected for
a place among tbe colossal figures on the pro
posed Lincoln monument, as representative men,
for having rendered eminent services In the sup
pression of the rebellion, is George H. Stuart, of
Philadelphia, President of the Christian Commis
sion, and it is expected his friends will raise the
sum necessary—s7,ooo or sB,ooo—to place his
figure there. It has been adopted, however, by
the Board of Managers, and will go there whether
his friends subscribe the money or not. It is not
expected that they will be behind the friends of
other eminent gentlemen in liberality, for the
friends of Bishop Simpson have already
subscribed $9,500 to place his statue
amopg (he other colossal figures. The figure of
Bishop 8. has also been adopted by the Board of
'Managers, and also that of the President of the
Banitarv Commission of the United Btates. The
colossal equestrian figure of Gen. Grant will, it
is expected, be placed on the monument by the
voluntary contributions of army officers and
personal friends. In this wav the money re
quired to complete the statues of nearly all the
parties to be placed-on the-monument will be
contributed by their friends, and will expedite
the construction of this truly national work.
Clark Mills, the sculptor, will have models of
several of the statues of prominent men ready
for exhibition before Congress meets again in i
December next. - , ;

Previous to the adjournment of the Senate, Mr. '
Morgan, from the Committee on the Library, to
whom were referred the following petitions, me

the passage of an international copyright law,
asked to be discharged from their farther con

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
THE SPANISH BEBELLIOIT, ■
Indications of. a Revolution—Exilian'
atlon or Clio Troubles.
Tho following extracts fromforeignpaperswill
enable, our readers to better comprehend the
exact stale of affairs in Spain:
“The Duke of ■Montpensier.yoangest son of
the late King Louis Philippe of Orleans, and his
consort tho Infanta Dona. Louisa, only sister of
the Queen of Spain, were arrested at Seville- on
Monday, July 13, and allowed two honre to pre
pare to. leave the country. They were subse
quently embarked at Cadiz, on board the'steam
er Villa de Madrid, for o destination to thenrun
known. It was, however, understood,or at least
asserted at Madrid, that they were to be conveyed
to England.” ,
gives the following explanation of
‘ “We are informed that, Inorder to avoid the
abuse which the revolutionists make of the namo
of the ‘ infant’;of Bpolh, the. Government ad
vised her Majesty to order, and her Majesty has
been pleased to order, , that the Duke and Duchess
of Montpensier should reside out of Spain until
the hopes of those agitators who, in their blind
ness, do; not hesitate to compromise the most
illustrious names, ate baffled, and until the mo
tives which have prompted this painful but ne
cessary resoWtion have to exist, as we
have a right to expect that theywill.„ We-thus
stand before the mostserions question whichcan
arise in the life of governments and, nations—the
question of legitimate power, of authority, of or
der, as Opposed to the revolutionary spirit which
foolishly adopts all meanß to accomplish its ends,
which are anarchy and ruin.”
Upon this subject the PaU Mall Gazette says:
“The news from Spain, the serions character
of which, as shown by tho arrest of the Duc.de
Montpensier, we made known to tho public and
nur contemporaries on Saturday—throws little
light on the organization or objects of tho con
spiracy. That a revolutionary movement of some
kind has been hatching is-extremelyprobable.
Indeed, tho present state of affairs is so scan
dalous and intolerable, and there Is so much
chronic discontent among all classes of the popu
lation, that at any moment it would be easy lor
the minister of the day to discover proofs of
sufficient disaffection to serve as the pretext for
rigorous measures against any of his rivals or
enemies. It has been inferred from the number
of generals who have been arrested that thore
has been an ontbreakof military jealonsy against
the civilian administration of Senor Gonzales
Bravo. The supposition is plausible enough, for
ibe anny la very tenacious of Its influence, and
has grown accustomed to regard itself as the
leading power in the State.”
The following paragraph, written evidently by
a friend of the Duke de Montpensier, appears in
the Paris Temps.
“The measures taken by the Spanish govern
ment, without deigning to give any explanations,
bave surprised everybody. The sentiment ex
pressed in onr letters is astonishment mingled
with consternation. The banishment of tho Duke
do Montpensier is the most unacconntable thing
of all. This prince has, ever since his sojourn in
Spain, been remarkably reserved, and has kept
aloof from all political parties. He generally re
maiued either m Seville or the environs. He had
not been in Madrid since 18G4 until the month of
May Jiast, and then he went there In obedience to
a pressing invitation from the Queen to be
present at the . marriage of the Infanta Isa
bella. On this, occasion h& stayed for a week
in the palace, seeing the royal family and
ibeir guests only, and avoiding all relations
whatever with political personages. It is,
however, remembered that as far hack as
3 SCO the Duchess de Montpensier, although
enciente, thought it expedient to go to Madrid to
Implore the Queen, her sister, not to risk the in
lerests of her family and dynasty by supporting
ibe violent policy of Narvaez. This step was
taken without any eclat, and, as the event
proved, without success. But ever since that
time many people about the conrt have been ear
wigging the Qneen, and urging her to send the
Duke de Montpensier and her Bister ont of the
country. Narvaez would never listen to these
suggestions. It is now, therefore, thought that
the Queen must have fancied the danger to her
dynasty very great, or must have acted under
immense pressure, when she consented to ban
ish her own sister with her husband, the Duke
de Montpensier.”
The London Star has the following:
‘The conspicuous fact Is the participation of
the Due de Montpensier in the [plot; the hidden
and not less significant circumstance is that the
plot in which the Doc de Montpensier was en
gaged, and in which it is said he was distinctly
implicated by letters stopped in the post-office,
was one in which the well-known military jeal
onsy of Gonzalez Bravo’s civilian government
found play. A great military pronuuela
rnento in Spain without General Prim is,
in the present state and mood of the
Spanish army, almost inconceivable.
General Prim bar. we believe,; lately left
England, after wei,’ convincing English judges,
by no means preju—ced in his favor, that he is
thorougoly imbued with the principles of free
government. Those principles are trampled un
der foot by Gouzaleh Bravo as they were hardly
trampled by Narvaez. General Prim, however,
must have lost oil hope of his libera] policy pre
vailing under the rule of his quondam patroness,
Queen Isabella. It is quite possible he may be
persuaded, as many other European politicians
are, of tho thorough faithfulness of Louis
Philippe's family to constitutional and liberal
government Ho might, perhaps, have felt
disposed to entertain any proposals from
the Montpensier internal which promised to
open a path for his great and not unnatural am
bition. If so, it was Indeed fortunate for the
Bravo administration that the plot was dis
covered in tir w it may be doubted
whether the ,ation of the Duke
and Duchess ion of the liberal
generals, and tension generally of
the Bravo system, may not create a feeling in the
army which y?ill call Prim to the front to drive
from the throne thoivorthless dynasty whose ex
pulsion must Booner or later be the first great
step to the regeneration of Spain.”
The London Telegraph says:
“Held down and crashed beneath the iron heel
of tho Spanish army - and-the CIvU Guards, the
poor and hardy peasants of Castile and Catalo
nia have endured oppression and hanger until it
has long appeared to impartial observers that
farther endnrance was , becoming impossible.
Some months ago we heard that a commotion
was impending over Spain, and we even men
tioned the fact Mindful that Spanish in
surrections have frequently proved abor
tive, we were 1 nevertheless aware that pub
lic discontent was heightened by the
scandalons conduct of the Court. When
we are Informed that three or tonr hundred
officers and eminent civilians may be arbitrarily
arrested and sent Into exile, or hold In perpetual
imprisonment,without ever being told with what
• crime they are charged, it seems difficult to im
agine that even in Spain, ‘the last surviving rep
resentative,’as Mr. BneUe calls , her, ‘of the
Middle Ages,’ such things Can long continue to
be enacted with impunity, ; The present example
Of arbitrary rale is the more remarkable becanso
the Duke of Montpensier is a quiet man, and
when Gonzalez Bravo offered to head an 'in
surrection agaißst the Qneen, the Duke posi
tively refused to sanction snen treachery. Gen.
Prim, who, after *a residence of many months
in London, has taken' his'departure for the
troubled and storm-tossed Peninsnla which gave
him birth, cannot, at least,, believe in the apathy
of his countrymen. Meantime we await the or-:
rival in this country of that same Duke and
Duchess of Montpensier,' who by their union
lees than a quarter of a Century ago nearly threw
Europe into a flame, bnt-who now repair to, our
shores, to. find here the same peaceful rofrige
which this fast anchored,isle has long afforded
to the other wandering members of their illustri
ouerace;’'

rn arkable is tho consummation of so great a
transaction in so short a, time. The .readiness
with which, the treaty was accepted by onr gov

minds of the Celestial ambassadors, and doubt
less will have much ta do with the favorable re
cognition of American interests by the Chinese
government I have already; ; forwarded the
treaty as it came from the hands of the negotia

of bis said Majesty,and the said plenipotentiaries,
after having exchanged their full powers found
to be in due and proper form, havo agreed npon
the following articles:
Article L His Majesty the Emperor of China,
being of opinion that in making concessions to

resorting to certain waters of that empire for
purposes of trade, he has by no means relin
quished hls-rigbt .of eminent domain or dominion

agree to abstain from offensively attacking the
citizens or subjects of any Power or party
or their properly with which they may be at war
on any such tract of land or waters of the said
empire; but nothing in this article shall be con
sumed to prevent the United States from resist
ing an attack by any hostile Power or party npon
their citizens, or their property. It Is further
agreed that if any right or interest in apy tract of
land in China has been or shall hereafter be
granted by the Government of China to the
United Btates or their citizens for purposes of
trade or commerce, that grant shall in no event
be construed to divest the Chinese authorities of
their right of, jurisdiction over persons and pro
perty within Said tract of land, excopt so far as
that right may\have been expressly relinquished
by treaty.
Art. 2. The United States of America and his
Mnjcsty the Emperor of China, believing that the

munity in respect to trade or navigation witbin
the Chinese dominions Which may not have been
stipulated for by treaty shall be subject to the dis
cretion of the Chinese goveminent and may be
regelated by it accordingly, but not In a manner
or spirit in compatible with the treaty stipula

ret. 3. The Emperor of China shall have the
right to appoint codbulb at ports of the United
States, who shall enjoy the same privileges and
immunities which are enjoyed by public law and

'TDE ELLICOTT HULLS DISASTER. ‘
Later Details—FrJglitfnl Scenes..
... (From the Baltimore Amencaaof LutNightd
The fiver makes a sudden bend a little above
the 'Railroad. Hotel, and iho'GrafiitoMlll, owned
by Benj. Deford, Esq.; formed n kind of break
water at one side oi this angle, which, with the
mounts lnonß rocks on the other side,had hitherto
combined to hold the stream in check - ddribg its
angry moods ; but (bo water now.rose sixteen
feet higher tbaß it had ever been known to reach
before, entering the lower stories of the mill, and
carrying on Its surface; timbers, trees, houses,
barns, cattle, .loads of every floating
substance that could be conceived of. The roar
of the water, os it came surging through this
narrow pass, is representedto-haVe been most
terrific and appalling to heard. The spray was
thrown twenty feet above tbe surface of the tor
rent, at times, whilst the darkness that prevailed
almost obscured the vision, and added, increased
horror to the spectacle..
At this time the immense granite walls of Mr.
Dtford’s cotton mUI commenced to totter, and
tbo outer or water waU soon after gave way, car
rying with it the roof. The entire contents of
tbe immense building, with all Its magnificent
machinery, fell bnt into the torrent with a,crash
that drowned the roar of tbe elements; and thus,
property valued at $250,000,was swept out of ex
istence os in a moment.
About this time Commenced a scene of terror
that has quite overwhelmed, this little commu
nity. In the first place, all the workmen bnt
eight escaped from tbe Granite Mill before the
water rose above the floors,and as these began to
find- that the Strnctnre was in danger, they all
made their eecape by swimming or being drawn
to tbe shore by the aid of ropes, except Mr. Mat
thias McCauley who.not being able to swim, was
afraid to venture. He went np' in the mUI, de
termining to remain, but finding the walls to be
cracking, and the immense structure rock
ing under the force of the water, he
climbed out on to the stone tower surmounting
the roof, and in a moment after the whole bulld-r
iug, except a part of the wall on the oast or land
side, and the tower, fell into the stream. Mr.
McCauley was observed stiff on the tower, and
great efforts were made for his rescue, as it was
also swaying to and fro' like a reed. Ropes were
thrown.to him, and hc,wa§,AHged tq jump Into
the water as the only chance ofsafety, bnt he
declined, and in a few moments tho granite tower
rocked and fell, carrying him down with it, and
the unfortunate man was seen no more.
So soon as the mill had fallen, the river spread
over the spot where it had stood, widening the
stream to that extent. The mill bad acted as a
shield to tbe long row of stone dwellings adjoin
ing It, extending from the railroad bridge to the
Patapsco Mill. The subsequent calamity might
have been prevented, butwith the first rush of the
widened torrent the first of these houses, al
though built of stone, crumbled like an egg shell
and disappeared. .
Tho unfortunate inmates, many of whom
were unable to escape, could now he observed
making'their way to the roofs, and scrambling
.along—men, women and children—from roof to
• oof, hoping to secure a place of more safety.
The whole popnlation of tho city was assembled
on the elevations surrounding, helploss witnesses
of these appalling scenes. Even husbands,
brothers and fathers were compelled to stand and
witness the peril of their own dear ones, without
power to succor or save.
This row of houses numbered fonrteen or fif
teen, and*with the exception of a twelve foot al
ley, next to Dr. Owings’a honso, stood close to
gether. They were nearly oil of one height, and
the roofs quite flat. After tho first of these budd
ings fell; the inmates began to appear bn the
roofs. The house of Dr. O wings was of wood,
aad it soon floated off its foundations across
the alley adjoining, and against tho next
house, which was of stone. The family
consisted of Mrs. Owings and six children,
and, a colored man and woman, servants.
William, the colored man, was seen cutting a
hole'throDgh the roof with an axo, and soon ap
peared with the youngest child of the Doctor in
bis arms. Ho then helped Mrs. Owings through
and the other children, and convoyed them on to
the roof of tho next house, and seemed to watch
over their safety and comfort in this hour of
peril, with a devotion that will do honor to'his
memory so long as those who witnessed his self
sacrificing labors shall live. Everybody Is speak
ing of tbe bravery and devotion of Dr. Owings’
man William, thus thrown in a .moment as the
ODly human hand on which a mother and chil
dren could rely in the hour of peril. His efforts
wore, however, altogether in vain, but he stood
manfully by his trust to the last,and nobly yielded
np bis life without maklDg any effort to seek his
own peißonol safety. With one of the younger
children in his arms he went down with mother
and little ones around' him In the boiling and.
raging current. 1 A party.of yonngmen stattondfl
on the Patapsco Mills bridge, with ropes, endea
voring to save those who.might be able to swim,
report having seen Mrs. Owings on lho surface bf
the water, apparently swimming witb osef hand,
and endeavoring to sustain her youngest child ‘
with the other, bnt she soon sank to rise no more
and was carried off In the current • “
Home after house,-in thls-row, went down,
and the victims fled before the. wrath of the flood,
from roof to roof,Until but one roof remained, on
which the survivors had gathered'to the niunber
of fifteen. Some were: observed in the attitude
of prayer, and others in desperation, but all Were
distinctly recognized and identified' by the spec
tators as relatives or peisonal acqanln taneeß. ■■ No
aid conld be given to them, and npne was ; antici
pated by them amid tbeir. terrible, surroundings.
Finally; this last house Went down, and the'fifteen
whbwero congregated on the roof were engulfed
in tho ruthless element,, in -which it,- seqmed-.im
poßsible. ior man .to live, loaded as it was with
drifting timbers, trees,- houses, cattle and every
kind of debris gathered in its destructive course;
