Carl Schuri's Magnificent Rejoinder? The Do??of the Administration Slrurk by Lightning. IQ the United States Senate on Thursday last, the resolution to investigate the alleged sale of arms to French agents being under consideration, Mr. Carpenter (Rep., Wis.) said that when a snit was brought In a court of law, the first thing done was to test the sufficiency of the complaint. Conceding the facts to be as claimed by the plaintiffs. If that mle had been followed in this case, the preamble and resolu? tion could easily have been disposed of. Rut If the friends of the administrai ion had taken that conree, the charge would have been her? alded all over the country that they were try? ing to avoid investigation. The time had now comp, however, when the question of law might safely be raised. But first he would speak of THE ORIGJN OF THIS RESOLUTION'. Politics was a strange thine. The Tories of England were attempting touring on a minis? terial crisis by charging Mr. Gladstone) with having made a treaty which bound England hand and foot at the feet of America, and at the same time certain American senators were attempting to get np an excitement on a state of islets which had been known to everybody for a year or more, for the purpose of affecting the next Presidential election. Mr. Sumner (Rep., Mass.) said the facts had lot been known to him until a few weeks ago. Hr. Carpenter said they might have been known to any one who examined the reports of the department. There had been NO CONCEALMENT IK THE HATTER; no attempt to cover up anything; everything done was in accordance with the acts of Con fress, and had been laid before the country, et now, Just in the nick of time for effect upon the Presidential campaign, an excite? ment was raised about this matter, and the le? gitimate business ot the country postponed to consider lt. As to the motives of the senators Who had made this assault on the administra? tion, one of two things must be true-either they must believe there was no foundation whatever for lt, and introduced the preamble and resolution for mere clap-trap and party purpose, or they must believe that our gov? ernment had violated its neutral duties, and they took up the club Xor a foreign nation and brandished lt over their native land; and as the latter supposition would Imply not merely lack of patriotism, but even A CERTAIN DEGREE OF TREASON', Christian charity compelled him to say that those senators did not believe that the charges had any foundation in fact. Had they ever thought of the position they would occupy if their case could be made ont and Prussia should make war upon this country to se cure redress for the wrong done her? Had they ever considered the position they would occu? py as American senators, called upon to vote supplies to carry on a war which they had In advance declared to be Just on the part of Prussia? The senator from Missouri (Mr Schurz) had compared himself and Mr. Sum? ner in this matter to Messrs. Cobden and Bright on the Alabama question; but there vas one great difference between the cases. Messrs. Cobden and Bright did what they did to pre ve* t their country from committing a wrong; but after the wrong had been com? mitted they never moved a committee of Investigation for the purpose of making out a case against their country. Mr. Sumner had said yesterday that this case naturally open* ed with the resolution of the French Assem? bly. That was true, and it was to be regret? ted that the case having opened in France, had not been allowed to close there. [Laugh jter.] The senator had denounced the saying of ihe brave old Commodore Decatur "OUR COUNTRY ! RIGHT OR WRON'O !" is a heathen one. This was not strange, in view of that senator's attempt to make out a case for Prussia. Those words should excite an uneasy feeling in his mind. Mr. Sumner said be had denounced It, not as Commodore Decatur's saying, but as a com? monplace of vicious politics. RAISING THE KN'OW-KOTHtNG CRT. Mr. Carpenter said, in conclusion, that he regretted this debate because ot the effect it would be likely to have in exciting doubt as to the wisdom of our naturalization laws. These laws were based upon the theory that every naturalized clilzen wholly renouuced allegiance to the land of his blrtb, and be? came, in the fullest sense, an American citi? zen. Bur, if a man coming from a foreign land, seeking and obtaining admission to our citizenship, and afterward being elected to a seat in the Halted States Senate, and having there a place on the committee of foreign al? fa! rs which, gave bim free access to the archives and the secrets of our State depart? ment-It such a man, with all his experience and advantages, could not rise above the-old feeling of allegiance to his native land, then the people would naturally ask whether other men, with leas capacity and less advantages, could do it ? Mr. Schurz asked Mr. Carpenter whether he meatfit-to. charge that he had not cast off bis allegiance to any foreign country ? Mr. Carpenter. When 1 want to charge that I will charge it. Mr. Carpenter then repeated what be had just said about a man who could not fully cast off allegiance to bis native land, but he pro? tested agilest any one charging bim with Enow-Notblnglsm, because he bad always op? posed IL A RIBING UP AGAINST CORRUPTION. Mr. Schurz. The senator from Wicconsln, at the close of bis speech, has raised a cry which has not been heard here to-day for the first time. When all argument ls exhausted, then an appeal to prejudice ls In order. Yes? terday we bad the general order swindle, if nqt defended, at least In some way justified, on the plea that loreign Importers were at the bottom of co m plain ia against lt; and to-day we hear another scandal, resting upon a charge of corruption, defended upon the ground that the attack upon lt is on appeal to the preju? dices of the loreign boro cliizens of this coun? try. Gentlemen, I tell you that this will be ol no avail. The people want eood and Just gov? ernment. The people are rising up against corruption wherever lt shows its head, and you cannot dissuade them from their purpose by saying that the general order business in New York is directed against foreign import? ers, or tbat tbls ls a question which ls io affect the political sympathies of the German-born American citizens. It is of no avail, gentle? men, and you bad better give !*" UB. I ask the senator from Wisconsin whether he charg? ed me with any unpatriotic act or motive. He did it not di re ci ly, but be did lt by innuendo. It would bave been more courageous had he stood up here and said to me, "No, you have not cast off your allegiance to the foreign pow? er ot which you were formerly a subject, and you are at the present moment "A TRAITOR TO AMERICAN INTERESTS." Instead of making that charge he tried to turn it so as to give the people to understand bis meaning, without having the courage to bring it forward plainly. Slr, I do not stand here to make a defeace of my patriotism. I did not come to this country yesterday. I have been here for twenty years; and if the senator from Wisconsin can point out a single Instance where lhere was a sacrifice demanded of me that I have not made; where there was a service tbat I could render that I have not rendered; where there was an act of patriot? ism that I could have performed, tbat 1 have not performed, let him say so. No, sir; this ls not brought forward as something to benefit a foreign government. I knew very well that when this discussion began lt wonld be Attempted on the part of those who justify Anything that the administration may do, to give it a turn like that, to appeal to the preju? dices of the people, In order to COVER UP WHAT WAS WRONG. I repeat, gentlemen, do not indulge in delu? sions; that trick will not succeed. Now, I am not going to discuss at length the question ot international law, or lo quote authorities, but I am going to appeal to the common sense of the Senate and the country. There was one great error running through ali the senator's (Mr. Carpenter's) remarks, defeating his whole argument. He confounded the trade that might be carried on wit h belligerent powers by private parties with the trade that might be carried on with belligerent powers by a govern? ment. Nobody denies tbat American citizens are permitted to sell arms to a belligerent power, or that in the regular conree of trade they are permitted to send lt warlike supplies; but ic ls a very different que: lion whether a government has a right to open its arsenals and Ks dockyards lo do the same tblng. The senator told us that if there was "no Intention to aid either belligerent lt might be done. In? tention ! Suppose we had another rebellion In this country, and some foreign power should send the rebels ships and arms, and that when we remonstrated against lt they should say we did not want to hurt you, would that be satis-1 factory to us ? Is not such an Idea ABSOLUTELT PREPOSTEBOU9 ? Mr. Schurz here argued that if Mr. Carpen-1 ter was right in saying that the Secretary of War was compelled by law to sell the arms In question, then the secretary bad done wrong in stopping the sales, as he did for a time at his (Mr. Scburz'u) request. Perhaps, however, that offence might be palliated by the fact that a large quantity of ordnance was sold after ; the lime when the secretary assured him that the sales had been stopped. As to the case supposed by Senator Carpenter, of Prussia going to war with this country about these pales of arms, lt was preposterous. When Prussia had failed to protest ut the time when the eales were going on, aud had shown a de termination to ignore them altogether, could it be supposed that an attempt to set ourselves right in the matter would provoke her to at? tack us ? If England had acknowledged the wrong she had done us. and had punished the agents by whom it was done, would not every generous American spurn the idea of | taking advantage of the act ? Would not the country have rung with praise of the Just and generous act, and would not the iriend ship between the countries be made stronger than ever? The senator from Wisconsin warns us that THE PRECEDENT WE MAKE HERB may come to plague us hereafter. Precisely, sir; and let me say that if the case remains as lt is now beiore the civilized world, the prece? dent is already set, and It is our duty to break off the point of that precedent by showing that if any wrong was committed the people of the United States did not approve it, and are ready to punish those who committed lt. That ls the duly of the patriot. The senator from Wisconsin cannot frighten me by saying, "Our country, right or wrong." In a certain sense, I say so too. My country ls the United States, and I say, "My country if right to be kept right, and if wrong to be set^ight." [Ap pla use In the galleries.] PASSAGE OF TBE APPROPRIATION \ AND PER DIEM BILLS.

A tremendous struggle ensued, and things were going hard with the policeman, when he was reinforced from the crowd which was rapidly assembling. The resistance which Daniels now made astonished every one, and many of his assailants suffered from the well directed kicks of his wooden stump. He was finally taken panting lo the Guardhouse and locked up, to be disposed of by the Mayor this morning._ A MAN CLUBBED AKD SERIOUSLY WOUNDED. Sunday morning, a little alter six o'clock, a young man, who was drunk and raising a dis? turbance in America street, was arrested by the police.

It commenc?e bleeding afresh twice or thrice during the night, and yesterday morning the prisoner could not be brought down before the Mayor.

C., March 4,1872. Captain F. G. Hilbersladt, Sark Eduard: DEAR SIR-I extremely regret the statement which appeared recently in the Charleston Dally Republican, based on a statement made by me to that paper, as I have found since that I have been i he Innocent victim of a deception practiced upen me. On the 27th ultimo, a person, a German calling himself Euchstaat, whom I had never seen before, came to my store, and in the presence of Mtssrs. R. Muller and W. Laclimund, made a ttatement or certain 111 usage, which he alleged he had re? ceived on the bark Eduard. Ia the presence of the same persons, he signed his name on a card, writing thereon his address, which card I have now tn my possession. Being a fellow-country? man, moved by his narration, I gave him a trifling sum of money, and thought I would be doing a service to humanity by rendering the man any assltance In my limited power. The reporter of the newspaper above men? tioned happened to come Into my atore on the 28th ult., and I mentioned the facts and circum? stances to him, staling the sonrce. of my in? formation, and saying that I thought the public were interested in the protea Hon of emigrants against ill usage. I understand that the same man has been to others, and made the same statements; and I now find than he has never been on your vessel. Since thia he baa denied ever having been in my store. From the above facts you will perceive that 1 have been Imposed on tn a moat disgrace? ful manner, and In au affair la whlon 1 had no earthly interest more than any other citizen, and have been the innocent agent or conveying in? formation which turns out to have been un? founded. I regret moat sincerely that the publication In the paper should have been made, as I am con? vinced that it was based upon what 1 believe now to be an unwarranted slander npon one whom, alnce the matter has been developed, I And to be a gentleman for whose character I entertain the greatest respect. lam, very respectfully, yonra, Ac, E. C. METZ. P. S.-I understand that you have been put to some expense In this matter. I hope you will al? low me to pay any which you may have Incurred by reason of this unfortunate affair. _ E. C.

An Ominous Declaration of the Jury What Will Roger Do About It ? LONDON, March 4. The Jury in the Tichborne case, while the evidence for the defence was In progress, in? formed the court that they h ad ?heard suffi? cient evidence upon which to base a verdict. The court adjourned to Wednesday to allow -the plain ure counsel to consider his future course. Germany Investigating* the Situation. The Times' Berlin special says that Count Yon Arnim, the German minister to France, Ima been ordered to Berlin to give bis opinion regarding the stability of the present govern? ment of France. The same special savs it ls thought that the Emperor William's decision will be adverse to England on the San Juan arbitration between the United States and England. The Times, in a special dispatch from Paris, says General L'Admiranlt has reconsidered his determination to retire from the governorship of Paris, which position he threatened to re? sign because the ''Rappel." a violent Com? munist sheet, was allowed to appear. The Alabama Claims and English i Polities. The Observer, in an article on the Alabama claims, expresses the opinion that in case En? gland should renoAinee the Treaty of Washing? ton, the United Si ates would take no Immedi? ate action, but would Insl.-t on the validity of the right heretofore claimed for American sea? men to Ash ID Canadian waters, and on that point would meet with no opposition from England. There is the best reason for believing that the British Government is prepared to con Bent to let the arbitration on the Alabama claims proceed, with the agreement that in no event shall the enm awarded exceed a certain stipulated amount. The Finance minister In Hot Water. PARIS, March 4. DlBsatlstactloo continues to exist In the cabinet over the conduct of M. Ponyer Quer? tier, the minister of finance, In testifying at Rouen In favor of La Mott, ex-prefect of the Department of Eure, who ls charged with em? bezzling the funds contributed for the relief of the French sufferers. Ponyer Quertier is to have an interview to-day on the subject with his Excellency, President Thiers. Should the resignation of the minister of finance become necessary, it is believed that M. Casimir Pereira, late minister of the Interior, will be appointed to the position made vacant In the cabinet __ IN THE WRONG BOX. A Radical Governor Too Much for aa Upright Judge. KEW ORLEANS, March 4. Yan Norton, president of the Savings Bank, was sentenced to-day by Judge Cooley to the parish prison for ten days for refusing to pro? duce la court a certain bank-box, deposited with him on January 19, by M. A. Soutnworth and SOUP nr Lewis, containing thirty thous? and dol?ais, and an agreement that Lewis should sustain the PInchback and Warmoth administration, and attend regularly the ses? sion of the Legislature each day. It ls said the box is to be delivered to Lewis on March 4, upon complying with certain conditions. Van Norton was Immediately pardoned by Governor Warmoth, and was liberated. Dur? ing the investigation, it transpired that South worth compounded with Yan Norton about a month ago, and removeO the money from the box, which, when finally brought io court, thia morning, contained nothing but the agreement above referred to. A full state? ment of this case will probably be sent to the Congressional Investigating committee. PETTY PERSECUTION. NEW YORK, March 4.

Ai * regular meeting of the Hibernian So? ciety, veld at their ball, the following preamble and resell tiona were un an Imo agi y adopted: . Brier aa W tba interval atnee we last assembled, lt has been Ic'ng enough to teach us the impres? sive lesson, hoV swift is the passage from time to eternity. The Hibernian Society has again been called on to mourn the loss of one of Ita members-of one who In early manhood, with the bright prom? ise Ol'a life or nsefulnesB and honor opening be? fore him, has been suddenly called away. In the death of w. Edmond O'Connor the society has not only been deprived or a member endeared to lt by his genial nature and elevated character, bat mourns the loss of one to whom lt looked for support and strength in the future. Born and reared m the State, bnt descended from Irish ancestry, he united affection for the land cf bia fathers with devotion to the land of bis birth. Gentle and amiable In all the relations of life, he yet possessed the sterner qualities or char? acter, and when the State called her BOUS to arma in her defence, he was among the first to respond to her appeal, and discharged hts duties as a Bol? dler with fidelity to ber and honor to himself. Re? turning to the civil pursuits of Ufe, he busily en? gaged in the task of repairing the disastrous rav? ages of war, and was laboring with earnest zeal and patriotic energy for the prosperity or the city and peope with whom his fortunes were Identi? fied, when he was suddenly removed, and places which knew him shall know him no more. We meet again for social enjoyment, and a ramillar face is missing. Our friend and brother member, P. K. coburn, has passed away from us forever. All that ls left to us ls the memory of what he was, and the sad pleasure of doing just? ice to his virtues. Born and reared a-nong us, we were dally wit? nesses of the good Influence he exerted. His life was nneventful, but not the less honored or hon? orable. Thongti no public honers illustrated his career, he won ani enjoyed that which was of more enduring worth, the esteem of his fellow citizens and the approval or all good men. He was emphatically an honest man-honest In thought, word and deed-simple and kindly In nature, yet of earnest resolve; firm In purpose and of high integrity, he united a strength cf character and sweetness or disposition which won and preserved the devoted friendship or those with whom he lived. The architect or his own fortunes,-rising by his own effort, bearing his shares or the trials and straggles, the losses and misfortunes incident .to life, he passed through them unchanged, leaving the bitterness of strife behind him, and preserving unimpaired his trust in men, his genial kindliness and his frank sincerity. Brave and generous to a fault, no appeal to his protection passed unheard, no claim to his char? ity went unheeded. He spoke no slander and listened to none. Hts large charity forgave what his own honest sense of right could not always approve, and ihe erring and the weak fonnd in him at once comfort and strength. Thus he pass? ed the even tenor ot his way, and at Its close there were gathered around him the fruits and rewards of a well-spent'life-love, honor, obedience, troops or Mends. Such was he whom we have lost, auch the virtues we should cherish and embalm. Belt Resolved, That In the death of W. Edmond O'Connor and Peter K. Coburn, this society mourns the losa.of friends endeared to it by long association, pure character and genial nature; and while we mourn their los ', we will cherish the memory ol their virtues and the example of their lives. Resolved, That a blank page In our Minute Book be dedicated to their mtmory. Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the morning papers of the city, and a copy be forwarded by the secretary to me family of our deceased friends. Extract from the Minutes.
