Colu.mbuh, Ohio, January 1. ?To-day, the railroad antborities arranged for tbe atartiog of two freight trains for the West. At the last moment, tbe conduc? tors refused to go, saying that tbey would not go over tbe road with strsngu engineers. They were at ones dis? charged, "und the trains eent with other men in charge. The yard-master of the Columbus and' Indiana Railroad was called on by a crowd of roughs to-day,' and threatened with death, if bo per? mitted any more trains to go on. *o-day. The police dispersed the crowd, and the spokesman escaped. Tbe evening train from Cincinnati, when at Alton, was fired into by some unknown parties. The situation here is cow more unfavor? able for a settlement than at any time daring the strike. A broken rail on the traok delayed the passeDger train of the Cincinnati urd Indianapolis Railroad. Two persons were killed and ten hurt. Washington, January 1. ?Tbe Execu? tive Mansion never presented a more brilliant appearance than to day. Tbe East room has been beautifiod in all its features, and tbe furniture is entirely new.- Tbe Blue room has also been re touobed, both as to the walls and the f urniture, and it is regarded as one of the handsomest drawing-rooms in the country. The mansion was opened for the reception of visitors at 11 A. M., when the President and Mrs. Grant took their positions in the Bine room, and were assisted by several ladies. There was a fall representation of Ministers, with-their respective secretaries and attache en, accompanied by ladies. At 12.45, the Associated Survivors of tbe War of 1812 and the Associated Vete? rans of the War of 1846 were received. They numbered about forty. Next came 1 the members of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association. At 1 o'clock, the doors were opened to the public, and, from that hoar to 2 P. M., a continuous throng of oi.izens called and shook a bands with the President. ? Richmond, Va? January 1.?Tbe Le? gislature oonveued, to-day, at noon, nearly every member of both bouses being present. The organization having previously been arranged in caucus, tbe eleotion of officers was quickly gotten through with, and restated in the re? election of all tbe officers of the last session, except the Sergeant-at-Arms, which office was filled by the eleotion of J. F. Wall, of Frederick. The Senate ' and House then wont into joint session, and proceeded to ounvass the returns of tbe recent eleotion for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, with tbe follow? ing result: For Governor, James R. Kemper, (Democrat,) 120,728; R. W. Hughes, 93,499; majority for Kemper, . 27,239. Tbe majority for Col. R. E. Withers, (Democrat,) for Lieutenant Governor, was 27,516. Immediately after the conclusion of the count, the Governor elect was notified, and ho pro? ceeded to the Exeoative Mansion, whero the oath of offioe was administered to him by Judgo Filzhagb, of the Chan? cery Court. Governor Kemper then sent his iuaagural messago to both houses. In his message, he says: "I do not hesitate to affirm, so encouraging and decisive has been the progress of tbe last four years, so dearly devoloped by tbe past are the obligations of to 'day, that if we are but guided by pra ,' donee, if we go forward with courago, tempered with forbearance, and if no k Federal legislation shall interveno to disturb the relations between tbe races, we cannot fail to bring oar great experi? ment to a sacoessful and prosperous issue." He then refers, in flattering terms, to the uniform system of free t schools for the education of both races, V -hioh challenges comparison with any fx i. lilar scheme elsewhere. He says that ? recent events prove how futile and how < disastrous to its authors mast be any I fatare attempts to array tbe colored race against tbe whites. Ho refers to immigration and oapital as the two great material wants of Virginia, and I says that tbe interests of the whole L country demand the establishment k of a lasting reconciliation and tbo ^return of complete normal rotations ?botween tbe pcoplo of tuo State, ?fi>n the ouo baud, and the people of ?r 11 tbe other Statoa and tbe Governmont W of t ho United States on tbo other. Of po f litioal party relatious, tbe Governor says: ??Virginia, recognising no soch obliga? tions a* bind her to any national party, promises the maintenance of ber fidelity to all who shall become allies in tho de? fence of measures calculated to seoare tho thus named, and is ready to co-ope? rate cordially with men .Of whatever party in upholding these meaanres, by whomsover proposed, supporting those who support them, and opposing all op position to them." Ho alludes to the fact that the dismemberment c* Virginia during the war naB left the old State re? sponsible for the whole debt, with such a conflict of claims as to render a com? promise impossible, and leaves both States without remedy. The Govern? ment of the Uuited States, by ita action, has prevented the State from fulfilling its obligations, aod intervened between Virginia and her creditors. Without any discussion of the 'power of the Federal Government, under ordinary oironmstanoes, to assume the debts pf the States, he argaes that if the Go? vernment of the United States should now, in the plenitude of its wealth and power, restore prosperity to our State by assuming- her debt, a paltry burden on the- national treasury, but grievous to us in our poverty, it wonld only in a small measure make a return for the vast donation with whieh the munifi? cence of Virginia endorsed the Union in its weakness and iufanoy. He al? ludes to the fact that as a result of the war, tho burdeu of the States is greatly inoreased in tho education of tho freed men and support of colored paupers, while the taza*ble property has been greatly decreased, thus leaving Virginia entrusted with the care of educating more than 500,000 of the wards of the nation without being provided with the means of executing the trust. He would deplore the interference of the Federal Government with public.schools of tho State us certain to result in their de? struction, yet justice, humanity and the bust interest* of the colored race and country at large demand that the Na? tional Governmeut should furnish the State with the necessui-y means to edu? cate them. Virginia has-less than one third of her proportion of national cur? rency, nud the Goverumunt should either afford her her duu proporliou or repeal tho existing tax ou Stato bank notes, thus allowing the Stute to pro? vide a circulating medium of ber own. He urges that ever}' effort bo made by the State herself to provido for the pub? lic debt, He advocates a liberal provi? sion us true economy iu tho caro of tho public institutions. Washington, January 1.?The recent Government seizure of the books of a large mercantile firm of Bostou, Jordan, Marsh & Co., on the ahnrge of defraud? ing the revenue, baa not only been the subject of comment iu tho business circles of that and othor cities, but has drawn uew utteutiou here to the neces? sity of material modifications iu the revenue laws. It has long been a mat? ter of bitter complaint umoog tho lead? ing importers of the country that they were subject to having their business brought to a stand, aod their oommer loial honor tarnished on the mere say of some officious or corrupt doteutive. Se? nator Fenton's bill, regnlatiug the cus? toms servioe, and tho infliction of flues, I penalties and forfeitures for violations of the customs laws, has been peuding for two years or more. Thuru is a growing conviction now that this or some measure with the same ends iu view should be speedily acted on. As the laws now stand, providing heavy penalties for technical Violations of obsoure provisions, they offer a standing premium to unscrupulous officers. The homo in Boston, which is now under the ban, is said to bo tho most extensive dry goods bouse iu New England, and one that has always ranked high. It is learned thai all the .books and accounts of the firm for the last five years have been seized. The charges upon which this seizure has boon predicated are of the most genuril character, und are made by ouu of that host of detectives known as special treueury agents. These "detective" appointments under the treasury are always sought with the greatest avidity, as those who bold them, especially in the importing centres, expeot to retire with a fortune after a year or two. It has been no un? common thing for somu of the parties under the corrupt system of moieties which prevails to realize as much or more than 8100,000 in one case. The treasury detective has everything to gain and nothing to lose, for if bis charges prove false, those against whom i they are brought have no remedy. The oflico of tho Methodist Jiecorder, at Pittaburg, Pa., was destroyed by lire yesterday. I Tho Atlantic Delaino Company, of Providenco, lt. I., have gone iuto volun? tary bank run toy. Gon. B. F. Sweet, Deputy Commis? sioner of Internal ltevonuo, died at Washington, yosterday. In New York, yesterday, a moulder, named ltogner, attempted to fire a sa? lute from a cannon made by himsolf. The piooe burst and killed him instantly. ftev. J. F. ?pauldiog, D.D., pastor of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Churoh, at Erio, Pa., and Bishop oleot of Colorado and New Mexico, was duly conseorated yesterday. Columbia, Pa., January 2.?During an inoondiary firo in MoGuinuis' sta? bles, thirteen horses wero burned. Concord, N. H., January 2.?The aoounts of the Treasurer of the National Savings Bank of Concord nro confused to the amount of S?o.ooo. Wilkesbarrb, January 2.?The Opera House was burned last night. Loss 800,000. New York, January 2.?Bradbury's piano manufactory, corner of Grand and Crosby streets, aud W. H. Seymour & Son's silk hat manufactory, adjoining on Crosby street, woro burned early this morning. Seymour & Sou's loss is esti? mated at 840,000; Bradbury's at $65, 000; loss on tho buildioge $20,000. An Havana lettorsays lutelligeuce has reached there ttas^tUfVEdgar Stgwart.is Bltiog oat for Cuban service. The Tor uado has left 1 port, and it is generally reported that ehe hat received orders to pursue tbe Stewart, aud if she proves to be of the satae obaraoter as tbe Vir? ginias, not to take her. bot eink her. Washington, January 2.?No official information has been received confirma? tory of tbe report from Madrid respect? ing the indemnity to be demanded by the Sp??itiu Government in the ease of tbe Virginia?; nor is it probable tbat I any each claim will be presented, tbe adjustment of tbo questious involved having bbeu arranged by tbe protocol of tbe representatives of tbe two coun? tries. If at any furtber timv, a bill of damages should bo presented, payment would, there is good ground for stating, be refused, on tbe principles established by tbe Geneva tribunal, in the disallow? ance of iudireot or* consequential da? mages. Therefore, it can certainly be stated that Spain will not receive any money whatever, growing out of the transactions in connection with the Vir? ginias, even if that vessel had reached its destination, and been sold by tbe United States for violation of law. The preparation of tbe Virginius corres? pondence will be completed to-morrow, and may be seut to Congress ou Mon I day next. It is represented to be vo? luminous. Speaking to-day of tbe intelligence from Htvaua, that the Tornado had ! left port, and it was generally stated I that she had received orders to pursue tbe Eigar Stewart, and if she proved to be of the same uhiraoter as the Vir ginius, sink bor, a gentleman, high iu official position, said tbe iguorauce or waut of correct information 6n the part of tbe Spauisb officers was never more apparent tbau in this instance, us it was known here ibat the EJgar Stewart is still at Baltimore, with no immediate prospect of leaving for any port of desti? nation. An appropriation by Cougre.-s of noarly $2,000,000 iu gold will bu re? quired iu eattrfacticn of the claims al? lowed by the late Uuited States aud British Commissiou. The debt si u tern en t of tlm date shows an increase of tbe public debt during December of $3,435,272, und an in? crease since June 80, 1873, of Sil,490, G12. Curreucy in the treasury 81,277, 851; coin $91,479,109; coin certificates $37,543.300; outstanding legal tenders $378,401,702. The Southern Claims Commission, to which it is proposed to refer all war claims pending before tbe Qiurtermaa ter-Geueral and tbe War Department, has uow before it claims to tbe amount of $22,000,000. The average amount thus tar awarded by this commission is about thirteen per cent, of the sums claimed. Last year only $600,000 were allowed, in cases iu which $5,000,000 was claimed. Tbe term of the commis? sion was extended by tbe last Congress for four years. Probabilities?For the Southern por? tion of tbe Middle States, and thence Southward to Florida, less pressure, with continued high temperature, East? erly to Southerly winds aud fair weather during the night, followed by increasing cloudiness and threatening weather to? morrow. The Secretary of tbe Navy, this even? ing, received a telegram from Rear-Ad? miral Scott, at Key West, announcing tbe arrival of tbe steamship Franklin at tbat port, which, it will be recol? lected, was recently reportod as lost, with all on board. Tbe President has recognized Adolphe Philbert Troy es Consul of France at Charleston. New Yohk, January 2.?Rudolph Pollenins, while adjusting a belt iu u sugar refinery in Jersey City, this morn? ing, was caught by tbe belt aud drawn iuto the machinery, and an arm and leg were torn from their sockets. Ho died in five minutes. Boston, January 2.?Judge Lowell, of tbe United States District Court, has ordered that ouly snob of tbo books seized from Jordan, Marsh & C5o. tire to be OXnmiued and returned by the Col lector of Customs and officers appointt-.l by him to inspect tbo samo as relate to tbe frauds chnrged in the complaint on file; excepting that tbe books and papers seized may bo examined, so f ir us may bo uojussary, to ascer? tain whether or not they relate to said charges; aud iu the last examination, Jordan, Marsh & Co. have leave to attend lue examination by an attorney at-law of this court, to bo appointed aud paid by them; the United States to bo represented in tbo samo manner. St. Louis, January 2.?Two unknown drunken meu, struugcrs to each other, quarreled iu the street last night, when one knocked tbo other down and plunged a knife through bis forehead, breaking the blade aud leaving part of it iu tbo man's brain. When the police arrived, tbo wouuded man' was dead. The murderer escaped. PhieiADBIiPIUA, Jauuwry 2.?Though no strike has occurred boro by tbo Foun sylvaniu Railroad employees us yet, the transportation of freight West u greatly impeded by the blockade of the roads iu tbo Western Stales, owing to the strike there. Trains of empty cars are being despatched from the West to Philadel? phia, for points beyond Pittsburg, but no loaded oars are leaving, and train hands are now only workiug half time. The passenger trains are leaving regu? larly, us are also the usual freight trains for Pittsburg and intermediate points. Columbus, Ohio, January 2.?The striking engineers here still hold out, notwithstanding tbat thestriko is break? ing at other points. The real trouble here now is, that tbe engineers know that certain ringleaders will not bo taken back iuto tbo employ of tbo rail? road company, aud no tbuy must stick together, hoping to euforo?? the employ? ment of oven tbe leaders. The rail? road authorities have given notice tbat all who want their engines bad belter upply at unco. The running of all rogn lar passenger trains has transferred the excitement to the freight department, bot uo outbreak'has occurred.
