VOLUME X.-NUMBER 2204. CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 7, 1873. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE CITY WATER BILL. ITS TRIUMPHANT BASS ABB IN TBE HOV SE OE REPRESENTATIVES. A Prospect of Definite Action ut Last Tb? Fret-School Hobby. [FROH OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C , February 5. This hits been a perfect field day In the House, over the Charleston water bill, which was drafted by the Chamber of Commerce, endorsed by the City Connell, and Introduced some weeks ago by Representative Greene, and the result has been the sweeping triumph of the bill and the utter rout and discomfiture ol vthe email faction of members led by Re? presentative Hurley, who arrayed themselves in determined opposition to the measura. The bill was called up at about two o'clock by Representative Bosemon, who made a brief and cogent argument in its favor, and from that hour until six o'clock the progress of the bill was contested at every step by the baker's dozen who opposed It with every species of parliamentary trick that is known to the mo? dern Son:h Carolina legislator. There was very little In the discussion that could c ; dig nilled with the name of argument, but there was plenty ol filibustering, a considerable amount of active lobbying, and no end of per? sonal squabbling. Speeches In favor of the bill were made by Representatives Bosemon, Brennan, Levy and Greene, of Charleston, and the latter broadly intimated that Repre? sentative Hurley had been liberally distribu? ting stock In his opposition conoern among the members, and explained how, lu accord? ance wilh what he believed to be a duty to bis constituents, he bad been quietly counteract? ing the effects of thia diplomacy. Mr. Hurley denied that bli hostility to the present bill was caused by his interest in the -project chartered last winter, and made a partisan tirade againatthe City Council, which, he said, had refused to consent to his going on with the work under his charter, and now came to the Legislature with a charter of Its own which lt desired to have pasaed. Repr?sentative Bosemon thought the mem ber?fr could Jndge for themselves whether Mr. Harley was more anxious about the success of * the party " than all ot his seventeen col? leagues put together. He believed that this charter would not Interfere with the one granted to Mr. Hurley last winter, for he was B&tlafled that that scheme would fall through any way; Just as the Enterprise Railroad, about which he had made such brilliant prom? ises four years ago to the members and to the community, had fallen through. Here Representative Hurley broke In to ask if Representative Bosemon had not, while a director of the Enterprise Railroad, entered Into a combination to clean him out. Repre? sentative Bosemon replied that ho had witn the majority of the other direc? tors tried to get rid of him after after he had by fraudulent means obtained possession of five thousand one hundred and \ forty shares of the stock. They wanted to jet rid of bim because they saw that in his j hands the enterprise never would succeed, Md he, having the vision or that enterprise g before him, did not proposa to entrust the , chances ol Charleston's water supply to Mr. j Hurley's hands. This, ol' course, brought t Harley to the floor oa one of his "questions of ? privilege," and thus the squabble continued j until at a late hoar In the afternoon some sen? sible member moved the previous question on the whole matter, and the bill was passed by a vote of 63 to 18. During the call of the roll one of the opponents of the bill as a last des? perate resort obstinately refused to vote, although his name was cabed by the clerk no less than twenty-eight times, and lor this vio? lation of the roles and ot the constitution he | waa>bronght to the bar of the House and re- ; quired to apologize. TBS APPROPRIATION BILL was 'finally parsed by the House and sent to the Senate to-day with the follow!ncr. amend? ments In addition to those already reported: the sam of $15,000 was added for the publica tioo ot the ac's and Joint resolutions ot the General Assembly, and $379 for back pay due to the auditor of Aiken County. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. Senator Clinton to-day Introduced a rather Important bill "to compel the attendance at school o? children between the ages of six and ? tlx tee D years." The bill requires all parents ; or guardians of children between the ages of ; six aad sixteen years, not mentally or phys!- ( cally disabled, to compel them to attend either , a public or private school for at least three I months in each year, provided there be a 1 public school within two miles of their reel- ' dence. The penalty prescribed lor neglect or refusal to comply with tbe act without good cause shown lo ihe satisfaction ol the county Behool commissioner, is imprisonment tor not less than one nor more tban six months, and a fine of not less than fifty nor more than one i hundred dollars.

BUFFALO, February 6. ] John Gaffney, who ls to be executed to-mor? row, showed sigas of insanity yesterday. When priests visited him, he became violent? ly enraged, and broke the cruolfix in pieces. 1 A council of physicians was held last evening 1 on the case, but no definite conclusion was I reached. They advised Sheriff Cleveland to ' telegraph io Governor Dix, advising two ' weeks stay of proceedings. The sheriff did < BO, and Governor Dix this morning replied, 1 refusing grant of respite. Gaffney slept little 1 this morning, and was somewhat calmer. The < sheriff will summon a grand Jury, bet?re 1 whom the testimony ol the physicians will be 1 taken. Should the Jury fail to render a ver- 1 diet by to-morrow, between ten A. M. and 1 four P. M , Gaffney will certainly be hanged. I HONORS TO MA ORT. NEW YORK, February 6.

THE LT ty Q IN STATE AND THE | FUNERAL. Th? Tuileries atChlselhnrst-The Visit of tb? Prince of Wales and Why he did not Attend the Panerai. [Correspondence or the New York World.] CHISELHORST, January 14. Chi8elhur8t, where the ex-Emperor of the French died, lleBsome dozen miles from Lon? don, amid upland Kentish scenery, where valleys and wood-crowned hills abound. The road from the mil way station la broad, bounded by villa enclosures. The bouses are new, few, and of somewhat opulent exterior. I Camden House ls an ordinary country resi-1 dence-not very large; not at all handsome;! Irregular In shape and arrangement; built of light and dark brick. What )B called '.the hall," or "the '.picture-gallery," ls a square apartment, perhaps thirty-five feet each way. It ia lighted by a skylight In tbe roof; on Its right and left are the dining and drawing rooms; and on the side a wide staircase leads to a gallery from which en? trance ia obtained to the second story. In this hall, directly under tbe skylight, the body of the Emperor has been placed-but the whole aspect ol the room has been so changed since I last saw lt tbat I scarcely knew lt. It had been converted Into a mortuary chapel. Tbe front door had been closed, and you en? tered by a Bide door at the right, AB you stood at thia door you Baw before you what seemed to be a long black tube-for the passage be? fore you was wailed, floored, and covered with dead-black clotb. At the end of these black hangings parted Into great curtains, looped back, and beyond these two curtains you saw, resting In the centre of an enclosed space, curtained at the back and sides with heavy black cloth reaching from ibe roof to tbe floor, the body of TBS DEAD EMPEROR. His face was strongly, pltilully changed-. Perhaps the process of embalming and the se? quences of the post-mortem examination had helped to cause ibis change; but lt was start? ling and painful In the extreme. The cheeks were sunken; great caverns of a ghastly bue were beneath the eyes; the eyes themselves bad almost disappeared; the whole counte? nance waa withered, pinched and wasted. But, more palnlul still,..jo ihe placid look which the face had worn when I saw lt on Saturday, had succeeded an inexpressibly sad and weat led expression. The Emperor lu Hie concealed bia griefs so well tbat for a while after death hla countenance did not betray them; but now-ut leaat to my fancy-they stood confessed. The tin t emotions passed, one could see other things besides the face of | the dead. On his breast, crossing from his shoulder to the waist, was the wide red ribbon of me Legion of Honor, and above and below lt were the star ol that Legion, the cross of the chevalier of the same omer, the military medal and the medal of Italy. The Insignia of ihe Order ot tbe Garter, conferred on bim by Queen Victoria, were on tbe right side of the uody; bis sword laid on the right; his kepi Was at Ms leet. He was dressed in the full uniform which he bad worn at Sedan, with tbe golden epaulettes of his military rank. His bands were crossed, and a pair of white gl-jves was held between them. Directly behind lils bead Blood a magnificent golden cruel tlx, with a burning candle at each aide, and there knelt two priests, ibe Abbes Met al re and Laire. Two other priests-Father Goddard, ot St. Marv's, and Monsignor Bauer-knelt at the foot of the body. At Ihe lour corners of the bier stood the Prince de Moscou, General Fleury, Dr. Conneati, and Count D'AvMer. The whole of the room was covered with black hangings, relieved only by the Imperial ;rown and the cipher "N" worked In silver, at each side of the bier was a silver candela ?ra, with eight candles, and lour ?liver candle- j sticks, each bearing a candle four feet high, at ihe foot ot the coffin was a heap of wreaths jf Immortelles, and on the feet of ihe body laid a wreath of violets, wllh the letter 4,N" In the centre. On the lett hand of tbe Empe? ror one saw two plain gold rluna. One ls his own wedding-ring, the other ls the weddlDg rlng ot the first Napoleoo. In lile, the Empe? ror wore a third ring, which the Empress has now removed and wulch she la now wearing. It ls the wedding-ring ol his mother-Hor? tense. THE PRINCE OF WALES. Now, before I had been admitted to the scene which 1 have so lamely described, there had occurred a notable event-pleaBlng to the Imperialists here and in France; displeasing alike io the Republicans and me OrleanlsiB Lhere. The Prince ol Wales, accompanied by ibe Dake o? Edinburgh, bad come lo pay their homage to ibe dead and lo offer conso? lation and sympathy lo the living. A curious story bad got about that the Prince of Wales bad desired and bad expressed his intern ion to attend the funeral; that ibe cabinet had In? terfered and protested against thia act. on the ground that lt would offend the French Re? publican Government; and that the Prince, In a rage, had gone off lo Sandringham, leaving behind bim a private note to the Empress, In- j lorm.ng her of the reason ol bia departure, and expressing, In very plain terms, bis sense ot the restraint that had been placed upon him. lt seems that Ihe cabinet had, however, taken a second thought, and bad blt upon a compromise. The Prince was to be permitted lo pay a visit tc the corpse of the Emperor lying In state, but he waa not to altend ibe funeral. A dispatch was sent to tbe Prince al Sandringham; he started at once, and by trav? elling ali night In a special train arrived In lime. The Prince Imperial had passed ibe night at the house ol Count Clary, near Cam ien House; and the first thing lo be done waa o bi lng bim to Camden House to receive the Prince of Wales. THE LAST LOOK, Then tbe prlncea of the house of Bona? parte, one by one, entered the mortuary charn? ier and took their last look at the dead em? peror ; and then lt waa the turn of tbe Prince Imperial himself lo bid his last farewell io his allier. Attired In black, and wearing the sordon of ihe Legion ot Honor, bis imperial ilghnesB, aa he passed into ihe hall, impressed iii who looked upon him as one who, although leeply stucken with grief, had yet a full con iclousuesaof the duties which now devolved jpon him. Followed by all t he members of j he court present he approached the cofflu, ind kneeling In front ol the body, remained lor some minutes In prayer. Tuere was no ceremony ol any kind ; neither tbe priests nor those in attendance upon Hie body moved or In any way noticed the' presence ot the prince. Finally his imperial highness rose and re? paired to the empress's apartments, where, embracing ber majesty, he spoke a few en? couraging words. Almost Immediately after? wards he returned to Count Clary's residence, remaining there throughout thu rest of the day with a few ol his most intimate lrlends and relatives. Princess Mathilde, Prino'esj Clothilde, the empress's devoted attendants, and many other ladies, whose tacen looked pale in meir heavy crapes, next passed. Near? ly all wept, and paused to kaeel and pray, Then came the general body ol EMINENT IMPERIALISTS, then others who had been admitted within the gaiea before twelve o'clock, and among them were many English men and women of rank. Needless lo Bay tbat all were clad In deep mourning. Ot the late Emperor'a houBehold lhere were General Fleury, Due de Cambace? res, Due de Bassano, Prince de la Moskowa, OountiClary. Count D'Avllliere, M. Franceschl Pleiri, (theEmperor'ssecretary,) GeneralCas telnau, General de Bevlllee, General Froissard, Geueral Lebrun. Baron de Corberon, Due de Tarrenl ana Viscount Walsh. From Hie Sen- j ate and Corps L?gislatif were M. de Glrardln, MM. Bens, Dalmaa, Matthieu. Bartholomy, Gaudin and Huet; the Count La Valette, Count L9 Hon, Marquis de Conlgllano, Viscount Aguado, Count de Casse-Briaeac, Baron de Pierres, Baron de Montbrun, Baron de Bour going. Baron Lambert. Prince Ponlatowsky, Commandant Rollin, M. Morice, Marquis de Lagrange and Marquis de Castel-Bajoc. Among the ladles were Mar?chale Canrooert, Mar?? chale Pelissler, Countess Walewekl, Countess de la Moskowa, Countess de la Paratere, Mlle. Corettl, VlscountesB Acuado, Mlle. Lebreton, and many otbera. Of ministers who had done service under the Empire were M. Rouher, M. Maurice Richard, Marshal Lebceuf, Due de Gramont, Marquis Chasseloup-Laubat, Admi? ral Blgault de Gencullly, M. Schneider, M. For-1 eade de la Roquette, MM. Busson-Billault, Henri Chevreau, Behic, Barrot and Duruy Baron Jerome David and H. Grandperret; the ambassadors being represented by Count Ben j edetll and Count Rousset. THE CONCOUR8E. And now noon had arrived; and the Im? mense mass ot men and women who tor hours have been standing outside the gates their numbers constantly augmented by new arri? vals by train, In carriages, and on loot, ls to be admitted. But how? The police arrange? ments or disarrangements were simply exe? crable. It would have been the easiest thing Eosslble to have made the people iorm a rib on, and to have admitted them In a contin? uous stream. But the English police mind ls stupid. It allowed thirty thousand people to mass themselves la a dense crowd close against the gates; then ihese were opened and a hundred or BO O? the strongest were allowed to enter; then the gates were closed again. About two o'clock the pressure at the princi? pal gales became very serious, and there could not have been at that lime lewer than twenty five thousand lo twenty-eight thousand peo? ple walting their turn of admission-a iourth o? this number being packed like herrings in a barrel close In front of the gales. A? lour o'clock there were still three or lour thous? and persons around the two upper ga>es, and great was the satisfaction-which even found vent in a subdued cheer-when it was annouoced that Prince Hurat had given or? ders for the admission of the public until every one had bad an opportunity ot seeing the last of the Emperor. But before that lime thousands bad given up the attempt In des? pair. All at last was over; the gates were Anally closed, and the dark night settled in silence over the scene. EOQSNIE Ol THE CHAMBER OF DEATH - CLOSING THE COFFIN. The curtain had again been drawn, and the chapelle ardente was given up tor about two hours to the silent prayers of the attending priests. At eleven o'clock the gentlemen who had mounted guard by the side of the collin during the day, and tbose who. In virtue of their position, had directed the movements, assembled In the small drawing-room, and proceeded silently le the chapelle ardente. The small party ranged themselves on both sides and at the font of the coffin as well as the limited space would admit. There ivere present M. Ron ber. the Duo de Bissano, the Due de Cambaceres, the Comte Clary, Comte d'Avlllier. Drs. Conneau and Corvisart, MM. Pie ti i, Abba1 neel and d'B?peul.'. At the head stood ti.o Princes Lucien and Charles Bona? parte, and the Abbes Lalre nnd Bauer. The two latter then read the prayers for the occa? sion,whereupon M. Rouber proceeded to make out the process verbal of the actual state in which the Emperor reposed before tbe leaden coffin was anally soldered down. The process having been made out with the utmost precision, even in what might be considered trifling details, was read out by M. Ronlier and Blgned by Ihe wit nesses. Two of ihe un? dertaker's assistants then lifted the heavy lid, which was gently adjusted on to the coffin. The process of screwing down occupied but a lew moments, for not until within uu hour of | the removal was tbe lld Anally closed. Wben ihin last ceremony bad been performed, the party returned to the drawing room, and the chapelle ardente was once more given up lo I he' priests and their silent offices. Some time ai ter wards the Empress came down from her apartments at the top of the house, and remained at the side of the coffin for consid? erably more than an hour. Indeed, as the moment for its removal from the house drew near, lt required the persuasion or the medi? cal advisers to mabie her return to her apart? ments. THE HEARSE, which had been walting In tbe stable, slowly approached the house, drawn by eight horses, and arrived in front of the door exactly at a quarter-past ten. When the hearse had ar? rived, however, M. Roubor, who acted as master of ceremonies, requested the gentle-1 men assembled in the hall to take up their position in the vestibule and outside, as the ihlef mourner, Ihe prince Imperial, was about LO be fetched. Tbe empress, who remained a her apartments, had sent two messages to M. Pletrl-one praying lo be Informed of the arrival of her son, and the second giving jome directions about the cai rylng of tbe I ra? mon?-1 e wreaths that were suspended on the tvalls of the chapel and deposited at the foot i)f the coffin. There were several ladles ol the empress's household on the staircase leadiug to tbe upper stories, all dressed In the deepest mourning, and frequently sobbing as they waited for the arrival ol the young heir, whose appearance would be the signal for the commencement ol THE t|AST ACT. The Prince Napoleon, accompanied by Princes Lucien and Charles, and ihe Princes Joachim, Achille and Charles Murat, had in he meantime left Camden House In two close carriages for the residence ol Count 31ary. At twenty minutes to eleven the car? riage returned and drove by a back way to he lawn at the end cf ihe house, from which .hey entered ihe drawing room by one of the ipen windows, and proceeded after some mo? ments to the corridor. The vestibule curtain jelng held together, the Prince knelt for a "ew moments at the foot of the coffin while he Abbe Cadoret, Chanoine de Sr. Denis, and he Abbe Lalre, Almonier de St. Denis, itepped lorward and commenced the short tervice. The young Prluce, who bad risen, vas dressed in a plain civilian suit, wlih the lash of the Lpglon ol H on or across his breast, md a black cloth mantle thrown across his ihoulders. He was bareheaded, and his deli :ate features, though plainly showing the races of late suffering and sorrow, were re narkably calm and composed. THE SERVICE irevlotis to Ihe removal of the body, though ibort, was indescribably impressive. The low ones ol the prayers, read in Latin, were an? swered by the still lower murmurs of "Amen!" .hat broke with a subdued fervor from ihe troup of mourners behind. The voice of ihe )fficlullm: priest slightly rose and fell upon .he ear with the tremulous sound of bumble ind earnest supplication. There was a sud len silence, broken only by the low response, ind then with a low Incline o? the head the Prince moved once more to the drawing-room it the back- ot the house, followed by the irlnces with whom he had entered. Tue six ittendants then stepppd forward and placed hemselves three on each Hide of Hie coffin. The wreatbR ol immortelles and violets had jpen brought out ptvvl ?usly and handed to .hose who bad lormed ihe smaller circle of | mourners. THE LAflT PROCB83lO>i. Amidst Ihe most Intense silence ihe Abbe Lalre etepped forward, bearing the golden crucifix, and followed by his colleagues, atllr sd in the lull dress o? their order. Then came Die slow, short and measured step of the six men, bearing on their shoulders the coffin Itseli, now first exposed to full daylight. When it had been placed in the hearse, which was loaded with Immortelles, the pall was thrown over it, and M. Pletrl went lo Inform those wailing in the drawing-rooms that everything was in readiness. Immediately the Prince Imperial advanced, followed by the six princes nt me family already mentioned, the rest of distinguished as?etubly flocking out of the door wit bout any regard to precedence, as lt was understood that the procession was to be lormed in the broad walk. The largo assem? bly which had been patiently walting to move on for hours lollowed with measured step, every one as a matter of course being uncov? ered, aud preserving a strict silence. Io a Tew minutes the gates closed upon the last of them, and Camden House had lost Us great ?nd well-beloved master. TBE QUEEN'S SPEECB. England's Relations with Raisin-A Pacific Policy. LONDON, February C. Parliament reassembled to-day. aud ibe Queen's speech was read.

THE CLOSE OE TBS CONTEST OVEB HORACE QBEBLEI'S KILLS. An Explanation of the Trouble-Kim Ida Greeley Relinquishes her Rights Rather Than That the Harrowing Details or her Father's Last Illness Should be Exposed. [From the Kew York Tribune, February 4.] Tbe Greeley will ease, bas entered upon a way of settlement which reflecta severe dis? credit upon every one concerned In lt, except upon the orphan daughters ol Mr. Greeley, his sole heirs hy bis last will. These young j ladiea, who have been distressed beyond mea? sure by the malignant and scandalous wrang? ling over the grave of their father, yesterday gave peremptory Instructions to their counsel to make a full surrender of all their rights and interests in the matter, and to allow the executors of a former will full discretion in the management of the affair. The formal decision of the Surrogate will be given next week, and what remains of Mr. Greeley's little properly will then be subject lo the disposi? tion of Mr. Storrs and Mr. Manning. The only excuse for ibis persistent and ap? parently Inexplicable opposition to the final disposition which Mr. Greeley made of hla ea tate, was that be was Insane at the time of writ? ing ihe will, and for weeks previously. To prove this, a number of easy-talking witnesses have been placed upon the aland, all holding decided opinions against the perfectly simple and natural provisoes of the will, who bave consumed several days io what may have ap? peared to them agreeable gossip about the last days of their old friend, In which every eccentricity of phrase, every utterance ol mel? ancholy which fell from his lips was carefully remembered or Ingeniously distorted in a man? ner which lurnUbed highly interesting matter for listless readers, and Inflicted the keenest anguish upon all to whom he was dear. We know not what Impression all these trivial re? miniscences produced upon the mind of the Surrogate or of.the public. Tney bave certainly altered no Jot bf the convictions entertained In regard lo Mr. Greeley's fatal Illness by bia nearest lrlenda and associates. His death was the result of a life of continual overwork. Tbe podigions mental labor of years prepared that critical slate ot nervous exhaustion which rendered him incapable of supporting the blow Inflicted ny the death of his wife, t During the last slimmer especially the strain upon his powers was loo great for endurance, i Obeying the summons ol ins political Irlends, he made those remarkable lours through New England and the West, delivering a series ot 1 speeches which for variety, scope and eflec- ' liveness have no parallel in all our history; , and when wearied and exhausted bv these labors, and depressed by the conscious- - ness that the cause he represented was ] doomed lo defeat, he was called to the bedside I of his dying wife. He watched for weeks by her pillow with unselfish and even Imprudent de- < votion, and when the end came the Injury done to hla high-wrought and sensitive organ- 1 izatlon was too great io be repaired. Acute inflammation of the membrane of the brain set In, which ran Its course and ended In death. But before it was developed, while bis reason still held Its sway, he recogolzed tbe fact that hla fortune bad been impaired by various un lortnnate Investments In Southern railroads and the like, and especially by loans to per? sons who had possessed an undue decree of bis confidence. Since his latest will was made, his wife was also gone, and the circum? stances being thus sadly and completely changed, he concluded lo cancel all former wilie, made in more prosperous limes, and leave his entire property lo his daughters, to whose proper support-unless more bad debts could be collected than seemed then, or seems now, possible- it was barely adequate. Unfortunately be did not destroy a former wilt made In 1871, In which two old friends, Messrs. Storrs and Manning, and a business associate. Mr. Sinclair, (who ls now a bank? rupt debtor in the estate,) were named as ex? ecutors. For reasona satisfactory to these gentlemen they concluded to comest the will. Mr. Sinclair subsequently withdrew. We wish to be understood BB making no charges against the perfect Integrity ot Messrs. Storrs and Manning. They were doubtless In? fluenced by no worse feeling than thai or wounded self-esteem, ibougn they Anally persuaded themselves that their consciences required them to stand between Mr. Greeley's daughters and his property, and iheir altitude to the orphans of their irlend has been that of frank and sincere hostility. i They have seemed convinced that the very lact of Mr. Greeley's making a w.H in which ' their names were not mentioned was prima facie evidence of Insanity. A neighbor of Mr. Greeley, at Chappaqua, Mr. Isaiah T. Wil? liams, who seems, from the papers In the : hands of the temporary administrator, to be a debtor lo the estate, threw bimself with espe- < daily energetic malice Into the case, and bas 1 been throughout the moving spring of all tbe ' opposition to tbe last will. Even on yester? day, after ibe surrender was complete, thia man made a speech full of charges and lusln- , nations BO brutally malignant and recklessly ( ninnie, that lt seems Impossible that a per- I Bon In his senses should have uttered lt. I The facts in favor of this will .vere plain and < obvious. It was in itself a better, more simple, ' moro intelligible will than the other. It made { a perfectly reasonable and logical deposition ' cf tbe property. It was written throughout in , tho peacelul retirement ol chappaqua, in bis y own handwriting, and signed with bis own name, while Mr. Greeley was still the active edi? tor of the Tribuno, writing daily articles irre- i proachable in thought and in manner. It was executed m his last hours, when the delirium f of fever was over and the peace of anproaching < dissolution was upon him. To offset these facts, the executors of the will of 1871 had no ' resourco but the accumulation of gossip to prove the deep melancholy which clouded the 1 last days ol the great journalist. Nothing was ? sacred from theae mousing investigators. The ! witnesses they called positively revelled in the sad details of those boura of fever and Borrow, i As the scandalous and distressing Bcene wont i on, tho f jmiiy and friends of Mr. Greeley ex- i hauBtod every expedient of compromise and ' persuasion. Miss Greeley had already fore- ' stalled any ungenerous insinuations by convey- ' ing to her sister half of the estate, and by : ofleriug to satisfy the claims of all legatees by { tho former will. Notbiog could soften the in- J flexible hostility of the executors. A last ef- t tort waa made by the editor of this paper, i acting in behalf of the Misses Greeley, to < arrive at some point of agreement which migbt obviate tho shameful spectacle of the 1 long and naolesa qnarrol. It was made in ! vain. The executors refused with a decision and ( promptness which showed how deeply their leclings of ?elf-lovo were unconsciously inter? ested. They and their attorney prepared a new batch of evidence, dealing with the most intim tte details of the long course of domestic i life, with tho sick room and death bed. At rbis ? point the fortitude of tho orphans gave way. They preferred to sacrifico their own interests | and to suffer th J last will of their father to go j by the board, rather tha i to expose Ibo sacred mysteries of Ins agony to tho gazo of the | world. They withdrew from tho contest, aud j tho executors, who aro honest and honorable men, are to be congratulated upon tho com- , pleteneas of their triumph. If tho Surrogate | decides io their favor next Mo'iday, it 18 to be boped that they will uso their victory mag- ? nautmously. _^ i SPABKS FROM TBE WIRES. -Rev.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP. A CABINETPLUM BOB THE REPUBLI? CANS OP THE SOUTH. An Interesting Batch or Political New*. WASHINGTON, February 6. The President bas decided to recognize the claims of the Republican party of the Sooth by the appointment of some prominent repre eemative man of that party to a cabinet poslr tlon alter the 4th of March next. The choice ls between Senator Poole and Colsett, o? North Carolina. The President while recognizing the merits of Pool seems to favor Colsett. The friends ot Poole, however, hope to be able to overcome this preference. The Republican party o? Dakotan being divided on queetloos o? internal policy, and the general management of affairs of tbat ter? ritory and being unable to agree upon anyone of their number as a successor to Governor Burbank, have united with a Georgia delega? tion now here for tbat purpose In urging tb?; President to appoint Markham, of Georgia, to the governorship of the Territory. Attorney-General Williams, to-day, received a long official statement from Montgomery, Alabama, relative to the seating of the Re? publican senator, Mr. Miller, and the subs?? quent organization of the Senate and House tor regular business. Tbe aooonnt states that notwithstanding both bouses have a Republi? can msjorlty, the Democrats seem disposed to accept the situation, and there ls every Indi? cation that the legitimate legislation will pro-, seed without further Interruption. The directors of the Samaoa Bay Company held a private meeting yesterday, the d?tails of which are withheld. It ls not the Inten? tion of the company to make their mattera public until after the grant has been confirmed ay the ballots of the people ot San Domingo. Toe result of the election will probably oe f nown very soon, If Governor Tabens can communicate with Havana, whence dispatches will be sent to this city; otherwise he will lave to send dispatches by steamer Ty bee on ts return. Engineers are now marking out property, and as soon as the details of occupa? tion have been settled, the company will fa? rlie Immigration. In ibe discussion of the poatoffice approprl ilion bill yesterday e.iternooo, the lact was 1e ve! oped i hal there was no positive law com? pelling the railroad companies to carry the mails In postal cars. Tbe contracts for the postal cars have been made at the discretion )f the postmaster-general, and the railroad companies may at any moment put OB lae ordinary baggage cars, and carry the unlooked nail-bogs. It ls In consequence of thia fact hat more liberal appropriations are asked for .allway transportation. Special Agent Lehdell, of the treasury de? triment, started a few days ago for Sevan iah to Investigate tbo Savannah Custom lOHse. From Information received here there ls ?very reason to believe that the efforts o? the lew Syndicate to place the entire amount of he three hundred million five per cenia will irove successful.
