The Committee on Naval Affairs v, -hold a meeting tomorrow night, to range their business, previous to ask! the House to set aside an evening n< week for the consideration of the varie bills already prepared by them, 1 whioh they have not yet bad an oppor nity of reporting to the House. Arno these measures is a bill providing for 1 construction of ten steamers, as sugg? ed by the Committee on Foreign Allai and apart from the recommendations the Seoretary of the Navy in his ann report. Not only the Committee Naval Affairs, bot distinguished offio of the navy, heretofore consulted by committee, together with tbe Secret: of the Navy, are folly impressed w the necessity of an effioient navy, as < present force is inadequate for extern service in oase of emergency. Besic it is said, among public men, that relations with Spain are of such a c racter as to suggest preparations, looking to war, but to the protection the rights of citizens of the Uni States. It is known that onr Minii to Madrid will soon be withdrawn, i -no. successor appointed, until, as recently said by a high executive o ?L > Spain shall be more disposed than sb how to act with justice, and accord to treaty obligations, Although we not regarded aa even probable, ther an increasing desire that our navy ? be placed in an effioient condition; . therefore the authorities here may, . lore long, issne orders to the sev >navy yards to plaoe all ont avail vessels in sea-going condition.

The Court of Olaims, yesterday . oided sixteeu ootton cases, nggrog awards to the amount of $353,789. of these olaims had been appealed, i Supreme Court, bat the decisions'1 over-ruled, they wero sent back judgment rendered in pursuance c decision of the higher oonrt. One of them was the Carroll caso, involving over $93.000, and the other $23,000. From the decision cf the Supremo Cour', it is inferred that the Acts in forcent thu time of tho seizure of ootton are a con? trolling elemeut to determine the dispo? sition of tho property, and the statute is to bo thus construed, namely : Where the property was captured during tba life? time of tho decedent, thou evidence of his loyalty is suflicicnt to maintain an action; but where the seizure was after administration, then the loyalty of thu decedent immaterial, und tho right to maintain un action depends upon tho loyalty of tho administrator.

HoBUIDXiB.-A catastrophe- almost un? paralleled in horror, disclosing the gross cruelties of thu Macao emigrant trade by ooo last and most terrible demonstration, happened in tho China Seas l ist May, und is recorded iu a parliamentary re? port just ordered by tho Iiouso of Com? mons to be printed. A vessel called tho Doti Juau, ending under the Hag and with tho authority of the Portuguese Government, set nuil ou the -4th of May, with G50 coolies on board. Thu.-c poor wretches, it appears, were kidnapped ami ?hipped iu tho inost shameful man? ner. Once on board, thia large multi? tude was placed literally iu prison penned on the maui deck und fastened down by three iron gratings, which clused tho hutches, leu coolies ut u time ouly beiug allowed to come on deck. Tho ship sailed lu f dr weather froui Macao. On the second day of tho voy? age, as declared by Herker, au Austrian seumau, the captain selected twenty coolies and put them iu irons, with much brutality, as un example to the others. Cu the thud day, a difficulty ai ose about the food passed down to tho emigrants. Tue i n ter pi eier got angry, and struck those who complained with his cane; whereupon thu wretched coolies made u nidi at their European jailors. The iron hatches were immediately slammed bade upon them, and when the poor creature'? beat upon the beams und planks to get air, muskets were fired, down into thu crowd. It then appear? that, in desperation, some few of tho coolies set fire to a store-room forward, hoping, no doubt, to force thu crew to throw their prison open. The sailors tried to pump water down upou the seat of tho confiagratiou, but tho freuzied men below pussed thu hose out of the port-holes, <?o that pumping became use? less. Thea tho fire spread beyond all control, aud volumes of ?hick smoke rolled into the main deck-choking the mass of coolies at either end, who hud tukeu no purt iu the previous proceed? ings. Rfd tongues of flame uud suffo? cating clouds tilled the ship below halohus; while thu miserable prisoners beat at the iron grating, tore at the fast? enings of the deck, aud eveu endeavored to get up to the air through thu venti? lators. The port-holes, however, were fastened, the dead-lights were too small to allow of a man's budy passing, and the ventilators were burred, so that there was no nf cape. 'Io two hours' time tho fire was "es? tablished on the -main deck"-which means that scores ot the Chinese bad al? ready '4>een roasted or smothered-yet the crew never took a siuglo step toward sating the lives of the imprisoned wretches. They merely lowered three boats on their own account, und pushed off from tho buruiug vessel, leaving all that mass of human creatures pent up in u floating hell of fear and agony. The sea was calm; the hutches might surely have been opened ut the last moment; yet the Dou Juan's captain and bauds shoved off, while thu ship bluzud, and while the coolies perished inside with frightful cries und cercaras. Tho scoun? drel master and crow saved their villain? ous lives; a junk picked them up; and the same witness who tells us this says that when tho twenty Chinese in irons, who were upon the forecastle, broke away their fetters, and swam toward the junk; they were pushed off into the seu to drown. Meantime, ia their awful terror, the survivors of the 650 below found some means of bursting tho fore hatch. Scores were by this time killed by the flames or the smoke; scores had been trampled down in-tbe frenzied rush for life to tho uppor deck. About 100 in nil at last emerged from that Golgotha of anguish, and leaped at once into tho sea. A. few managed to get hold of spars aud floating gear, and hung upon these till some fishing boats picked thom up next morning. The majority were already mortally injured when they escaped, or were drowned, or crushed by the f alli nu shaine and spars of tho ship. But at least 500 were first scorched to death, or choked and trampled dead, before the infernal prison-gate waa forced by the breaking open of the hatches, which tho saptuiu and crew had so shamefully left fast. AN ABSCONDINO DANCING MASTKK - Wo understand that the dancing master who held forth at the Augusta Hotel Prof. John Lewis by name-has disap? peared from the hotel and the city, having been last seen with bis carpet? bag, crossing Hamburg bridge, Satur? day afternoon.

The Beaufort Republican says: "A gentleman digging in his garden on Bay street, on Wednesday last, unearthed a Bk ele ton, which had evidently been buried a long time. How it got there is a mystery, as it was covered by only a few inobes of dirt. A surgeon was oalled upon who, after a minute exami? nation, pronounced it to be that of a ' female, about ten years old, and much worn. It was one of the tilter variety, with fifteen springs." James Ellis, colored, wau drowned ou the 13th of April, near Saluda Old Town ferry, while assisting in getting a flat up tho river, to tho usual point of keeping ! it, and from wheoco it bad drifted some half a mile down the river. Tho body was not fonnd until eight days after, over two miles down tbe river from where he fell out the flat. ! Oa.pt. Charles V. Hamilton Denles Impli? cation with tl?? McDuflle Hobben, Yesterday oar reporter had an inter? view with Capt. Charlee V. Hamilton, , the alleged leader of the band of rob I bers, and who was convicted at the last j term of McDuffie Superior Court, and I sentenced to tea years' imprisonment in I the penitentiary for robbery. I Capt. Hamilton said: I wish to make ' a statement in regard to the evideuce of Long and Willis, aud also iu regard to the previous character of those men. It was ? tissue of lies from beginning to end. Long's statement was identical with a passage in a book called "The Fancy Man; or, A November Day in Bos? ton." Long had this book hero iu jail with him arid learned that passage before tho trial took place. Loug stuted that this robbery was bis first offence. That was not true. He confessed to mo, when bc was with toe in this jail, some timo before the trial, that he had been impli? cated in a number of crimes during and since thu war. lu 1861 ho stole a horse and exchanged it for a mule, which he sold to a Mr. Lanier, iu Abbeville Coun? ty, South Carolina. Ho said that after thc wur, in 1865, bu was hired by several parties to kill Mr. Lanier, for which service ho was to receive $103. Be fora he got to Linier's house, however, he ?included not to kill him, but to give him a good whipping. Lanier wus a horso doctor, aud Long sent a man up tc his bouso to tell him that a gentleman bad a sick horse down the road, which be wauted attended to. Linier went tc where Long WUP, who gave him 30C lashes, ulmost killiug him. Ho was next in with a parly who robbed au old mai named Bou nt roe, in Abbeville. Lo nj; was to kill Bountreu with a sledge-ham mer, but us ho made a blow at him th? oid man dodged, uud Lue hammerslippec from Long's grasp. Bountree thai jumped tu bis gun and the robbers rai off, taking with thom about 0600. Im mediately afterwards Long, with twe others, stole a lot uf guns, pistols, watch and $150 iu money from a party of ne groes on Little Biver, in South Carolina r inding that he was getting under sus picion, We said he came down to Edge Held and hired himself to Series & Hew itt, who were working a guld mine Whilo there he frequently stole gold which another person was suspected ti taking. He aud another party weut t< rob a negro ou tbe Savannah Biver, bu us they entered the house thu negri struck at Lung with an uxe, cutting opel his shoulderaud nearly cleaving him ic twain. He afterwards tried to make i appear that it was the Eluui boys, o Lincoln County, who were concern?e in this robbery. At Dom's Miuo, S. C. Long robbed thu Uuited States census taker in 1870 of his books and money, He said that there was a man namec Harriss came to him afterward, and lol him that if he gave up the books h might keep the money. He told Hat riss he knew nothing about tho robbery Harriss then went to a mun who wa concerned with Long in tho affair, an? told him Lung had confessed. The ma then gave up the books. Again fallin nuder suspicion, Long said he went t Coweta County, Ga., and afterwards li cated in Thomson. He also stolu a hors from a mau named Blackwell, iu Edge field County, S. C., aud sold it in Glin cock County, Ga. Willis, who tried t make the impression that I had induce him to do wrong, was as bad as Lout He helped to murder Atkins, beside being engaged in other crimea. Ban sey, io 1866, went with u porty to Lil coln County, and searched the house ( au olel negro man, named Henry Cobl for money. Failing to get uuy at tb house, they went to the house of Cobb son, whom they hung until he was nenrl dead, to make bim confess where h father's money was. They then wei back to Henry Cobb's, where they wei fired upon by a party of negroes. Ot of Ramsey's party was killed and tl others were all wounded. Last sprit Ramsey went to New York to get cou terieit money. His expenses were pa by four citizens of the County, who names I never expect to make known. Reporter-If you nre innocent, Cai Hamilton, why were you couvioted? jury of twelve honest men tried yoi 0880. Hamilton-I was unable to ccipli lawyers until tho last moment; con: qnently, wus not prepared. If I hi had a chance, I could have proved th Long and Willis were induced to lesti against mo, and could have establish my innocence to the satisfaction of eve one. That which did mo tho most hui was tho report that I was u United Stul detective, trying to ferret out Ku Kin If I was that, I was certainly a dang ous man in the commnnity. Reporter-Long's ev id en c.; in relali to you, Captain Hamilton, was vt straightforward and conclusive. Hamilton-Yes; but, aa I said befo he took every word of it out of tbe bo he had here in jail with him. Lo stated that ho was twenty years o whilo his real age is twenty-four you This he told me himself. Mr. Eva who was robbed some time since, has peatedly said he would not believe Lc on his oath. 1 am innocent, anti i made to suffer for the crimes of other Hamilton then stated that he was be ia ?Spar tan burg, S. C., in 1817, s served through tho war in Gen. Forre command, ns captain of a band of soot He was married in Edgefield, in.Fauna 1867. Hamilton is a powerfully ht man, aud has anything but a pleas countenance. His bare statement t he is innocent will hardly be boliev when twelve citizens of MoDuflieCouij which was the principal socue of mis-doings, after a fair and impar trial, have pronounced him guilty.

A copj the Constitution, not punched ful! bayonet holes, would do it. [Detroit Free Pren SOUTHERN STATE BONDS.-Io the finan oiul column of the New York Herald, of the 6th, we find the following in refer? en co to Southern State bonde: The bonds of the Southern States, never very uctive in this market, are gradually sinking in the scale of securi? ties. This will continue to be the case uutil some different course of policy from that now practiced in the South is inaugurated. The financial status of nearly all the Southern States is far be? low that of their Northern and North? western sisters. Since the close of tho war, they have been drifting on from a bad to a worse condition, uutil they have actually reached a point which makes repudiation almost necessary. It is not yet too late, however, for them to reco? ver their former positions, and bave themselves from tho disgrace which at? tends and always follows a bankrupt go? vernment. Their political condition re? quires to bo revolutionized. They must | choose law-mukers who ure ready to go heart and soul into the cause bf retrench? ment. They mnst elect legislators who are anxious to porform their duties in the interest of the State und for the welfare of the people, and who aro willing to work for redemption instead of personal aggrandizement. They must have of? ficers less actuated by selfish desires, and with greater affection for the public good. Ali who are entrusted with re? sponsible positions should possess, in sumo degree, ut least, those cardinal iiindificatious, virtue, justice, prudence ?nd fortitude, added to honest intentions and disinterested motives. Until tho Southern people can effect a change in their political relations tbut will lead them nearer to tho requirements above recited, they must not expect to regain the proud and commanding positions they once occupied iu ino Uuiuu family. 350 murders last year, and but one mao suffering the extreme penalty of the law. He, poor Jock Reynolds, half witted, without money or friends, was hung as un awful example. Who won- ! ders that crime holds high carnival in our midst?-New fork Citizen. J. A. Cheney and wife, of Waltham, Massachusetts, will have to pay William G ri tli us, Jr., of tho fume place, $300 da? mages, for saying in a ball room: "He looks liku a thief"-according to the judgment of the? Superior Civil Court for Middlesex. This is a world of disappointment. The execution of John Presswood bas been postponed by the Governor of Ten? nessee until the 21th of May next. The sentence will then in all probability be carried into effect, if another sickening postponement is not decided upon. The Haleigh (N. C.)
