. . TnUgrMyblc?Porclffn. Affair*.. Madbid, January 8.?The following' ia another acooant of Costelar's addrejw, differing from the one previously sent: Castelar read bia raetsagn from the mi? nisterial benches. He said the Govern? ment had acted promptly and energeti? cally against the disturbances and con? spiracies of all hinds, and that order had been maintained everywhere, except in the Nortb, where the Oarlists still maintained thoir attitude of. rebellion, and at Oar tagen a, where, unfortunately, a criminal insurrection had possessed it? self of one of tbe strongest places in Spain, with its best arsenals and most formidable iron-olads, and an impregna? ble fortress within which to protect their acoursed flag. The waut of troops and resources delays their recapture, wbioh, however, is certain in the end.. It ia beyond doubt that the insurgents at Cartagena have direct communication wifh tho C?rl*st?. The Osrlist war is greatly aggravated by the disorganiza? tion, laok of discipline and desertions among the leaders o? the forces support? ing the Government cause. The Presi? dent appeals to all, in tbe presence of war, to sink and effaoe party differences. No. policy is possible for the Govern? ment-. except a, continuance of war. Spaniards should keep in mind that while it continues, it imperils their young republic, their ancient liberties, their conquests, their civilisation. We strive, to maintain the position of mo? dern European people; hence war, though abnormal, requiring the sus? pension of certain social functions and the temporary sacrifice, is necessary, just as in fever abstinences from oooa sional food is necessary. We must have a standing army?an army consolidating the revival of the military penul code apd the restoration of disoipline. Tbe Go? vernment has distributed military com? mands among gensralB of all parties, in order to give the army a national charac? ter We have not escaped the tyranny of kings to submit to tbe tyranny of par? ties.' 'The President speaks in termaof praise of tbo -Republican troops. The war expenses during the recess, ho says, have amounted to 400,000.000 realB. He recommends legislation for gratuit? ous public instruction and for the aboli? tion of servile labor and slavery wit bin the Spanish dominions on both sides of tha Atlantic. He sayp the Cortes may establish a stable government, and European powers will ? soon recognize the republic, to wbioh none of tbem have any invincible antipathy. All countries desire primarily the mainte? nance of order und the protection of tbe vast interests of commerce. He pro? mises shortly to submit documents re? lative to the Yirginius affair, wbioh will demonstrate that war has been averted, while the principles of international law have been upheld by the oourse of tbe Government. .In closing, the Presi? dent congratulates tbe Cortes that the condition of affairs is greatly improved. The army is recovering from the effects of insubordination. Riotous outbreaks are ceasiug. Municipal authorities no longer Beek to exercise a dictatorship. Popular risings, barricades and pronun ciamentos have been annihilated by universal suffrage. He appeals to tbe Cortes to do their dnty and receive the verdiot of history as the conservative founders of the Spanish republic. In the Cortes, to-day, tbe depntieH, on two votes, gave majorities against President Oastelar. Gen. Pavia, whoia a friend of Oastelar, thereupon occu? pied the palace of the Cortes and other public buildings.with a force of 14,000 troops. He dissolved the Cortes, and summoned most of the eminent men of all parties, including the members of the present Government, only except? ing Carlisle and Iotranaigentes, to form a new* government. This Gen. Pavia declared was the only means for the aalvatiop of the country. He refused personally to become a member of the Govornment. The streets are filled with people, and there is greatexo?te mont, bat no blood has been abed. The |ij>rity against President Castelar was LIad&id, January 4.?The final and ciaive. vote by wbioh Castelar was aten in the Cortes stood 120 to 100, e majority against him being 20, in? stead of 120, as first reported. As soon as the result was announced, General Pavia sent an officer to tbe chamber with a letter demanding a dissolution of tbe Cortes. Senor Salmeron and others irged Oastelar to continue in power, jut their prayers were refused; whero lpon a company of the municipal guard 3ntered the palaoe of the Cortes and ex? celled the deputies. General Pavia, -ith his staff, held position outside with i annon pointed at the building. It is expected that the new Ministry will be composed of Conservatives and Radi? cals, with Marshal Serrano as President. Madrid, January 4?Midnight.? The new Ministry has been formed as fol ?Jows: President, Serrano; Minister of PForoiga Affairs, Sagosta; War, Seavala; Justice, Tignorola; Agriculture, Bs oarra; Finanoe, Eohegarry; Interior, Garoia Remse; Marine, Topete. All the strategio ? points of the city were ooou kpiod by the military last night. The Schief civil and military authorities of ?nearly all the provinces in oommunioa " tion with Madrid hate telegraphed to General Pavia their approval of his con? duct. No disturbance is reported in any quarter. The transmission of pxi , vate telegrams has been temporarily suspended. London, January 5.?A Times special from Madrid says it was Marshal Ser? rano's wish that Oastelar should be a member of tbe new Ministry, but the latter refused to again accent the oflloe. On the defeat of Castelar, and previous to the interference of General Pavia, the Cortes eleoted Sonor Hotania Presi? dent of tbo Cabinet. A News speoial says the Republican force besieging Cartagena accepts tbe new Governmeut. The national militia in Madrid is beiug quietly disarmed. -1-i-r~r~?i-[?; The News despatch also say a a rumor is in circulation in Madrid that the late retreat of General MorioneB was a oon ?sited manoeuvre in support of General avia's leoup d'si?!. The Standard has iotelligenoe from Gold Covo that the British forces will enter Ashantee Territory on the 15th of this month. Madrid, January 0.?A deoree has been promulgated, appointing Serrano chief of the executive power. Vienna, January 5.?The navigation of the Danube is elosed by ioe. Tele?raprilc?American Slattern. Charleston, January 5.?Arrived? Steamship Georgia, New York. Nashville, January 8.?At a meeting of .the Executive Committee of the Labor Reform Party of Tennessee, re? solutions were adopted, declaring the present panio the result'of a combina? tion of Extern capitalists, bond holders and monopolists, and that the oapital iets atid bond-holders of the Eist aro imposing bnrdeUR uud hardships oh the industry of the West and South more intolerable than slavery; calling upon tho produoiog classes of the South and West to freo themselves from tho unjust and oppressive combination, and invit? ing the laboring meu and farmers to take measures for oalliog a oouvoutioo, to be oorr posed exclusively of tho labor? ing and producing classes, to meet in St. Louis, February 22, to interchance opinions as to the best mode of accom? plishing this muoh needed reform. Washington, January 4.?Pavia's coup d'etat in Spain sadly disappoints our diplomacy. It has been known that our dainty treatment of Spain in the Virginias matter was in the interest of tho Oastelar Government, and his defeat is regarded as ours. Ab it wus not sop posed that the Castelar Government would be of long continuance, a change was expected, but not in the manner yesterday reported from Madrid, and therefore the coup d'etat of Geu. Pavia excited muoh surprise iu diplomatic und other circles?his name not having here? tofore been mentioned in a manner which would ocoasioo even a suspicion of suoh a movement on his part. Spe? culations are freely expressed as to the fnture, and the general opinion is that the Republican oause has been damuged by the reported revolutionary proceed? ing, but the official information thus far received is of so meagre a character as to afford no basis for reliable comment. The Castelar Goverument hud, during the Virginius negotiation, repeatedly declared, not only its friendliuHss to wurd the United State?, but its desire to draw still closer the relations of the two countries; and our Government evinced a like aaioablo feeling toward Spain, even taking the negotiations out of the hands of Geu. Sickles, iu order to be iu better accord with the Oastelar Govern? ment. The friends of that Government in congressional and executive circles regret the reoent events iu Spain, as likely to delay the promised reforms in the Autilles, and preventing such nego? tiations through Gen. Gushing as would tond to a paoifioation in Cuba and Porto B^jco, and at the same time protect Ame? rican interests in Cuban waters from the annoyances and outrages to which they have been so frequently subjected. There aro official despatches to tho effect that Pavia is to be oourt martialed for rebellion, that his foroes are disarmed, and that the Government is undergoing re-organizatiou, under Marshal Serrano. Washington, January 4. ?The United States and Mexioan Commission has now fully resumed ils business, and will doubtless dispose of all the oases on the docket by the expiration of its extended term. Within the last two monthB, the Commissioners have decided at least 100 oases, inoluding an adverse decision in the caso of Daniel E. Woodhouse against Mexico, known as the Tehuau tepeo claim, iu which tuo petitioners . stated tho amount of damages at over 8500,000,000. The claim of Mexico, for 827,000,000 on account of damages from Indian inoursions, is now in the hands of Sir Edward Thornton, the umpire, the American and Mexican Commissioners being divided in opi? nion. Mexico claims that, undor the treaty of Guadaloupe, the United States pledged themselves to foroibly restruin inoursions iuto her territory, and that whenever such ruid ooald not be pre? vented, tho Indians should be puuished by our Government, and satisfaction for tho same exacted. Tho Unitod States, on the contrary, insist that our Go? vernment could uot promise to do for Mexico moro than it was required to do for our owu citizens*, and therefore uo damages could bo claimed. Should, as it is expected, tho umpire decide against Mexioo in tho ponding case, Mexico will preeent tho sumo principle ks au answer to tho United States for claims of da? mages to citizens of Texas, growiug out of tho inoursions of Mexicans into that State on the Rio Grande borders. Tho Sjuato Judiciary Oommittce has had several meetings during tho recess, at the residence of Senator Edmunds, and considered the bankrupt bill. Yes? terday, they met at the oapitol, and fur? ther disoussed that measure, with a view of perfecting and reporting it to the Senate at an early day. The esti? mates of tho Light House Board have been cut down about 81,000,000, leaving them ono-half the sum estimated at the beginning of the session. Chicago, January 5.?Bishop Cheney, of the Reformed Episcopal ChuroU, to? day administered the rite of confirma? tion, after the form adopted by the new church, to forty-five persons, at Christ Church, which fas crowded with people. , San Francisco, Janhary 5.?Two hun? dred pounds of giant powder exploded its? Nevada mine, kUiitid two and in? juring others. A 200 f?ot shaft was destroyed. WASnttfdToN, January 5.?Tho at? tendance in the House is very thin. Tho usual call of States is progressing. The friends of the supplemental Civil Rights bill have no doubt of its pnsaoge to-morrow, at 1 o'clock. The general answer to the query as to what it will amount to, it it passes the Senate and receives the Executive sanotion, is, ? Oh, nothing." . . In the Supreme Court, there was a full benoh. Jnstioe Clifford, by virtue of seniority of commissiou, acts as Chief JuRtico. New Yobk, Jinuary G?The bark Folly, Pensaoola for Liverpool, with lumber, was abandoned at sea.

Philadelphia, January 5 ?At Hun tiugton, Pa., last night, the editor of the Journal was attacked iu his office by a party of roughs, as is alleged, at the instigation of the editor of the Globe. Tho attacking party was disarmed and] kicked out of tho office. The trouble grew out of a publioatiou iu the Jour? nal, atfaoking certain parties. A. tiro oocurred here last night, which was confined to the Bono block build icg. Loss $200,001). The eurce build? ing was burned two years ago. Boston, January 5.?The Clureudon Street Baptist Church was damaged by fire to the amount of $50,000. The organ was ruined. The fit cop lo walls ure uninjured. Richmond, Va., January 5.?Both Houses of tbe General Assembly, to-day, adopted a series of resolutions that de olare there is no purpose upon their part, or upon the part of tbe pejple they represent, to cherish captious hos? tility to the Federal Administration, and re-affirming tho portion of tbe Conservative platform, that they will judge it impartially by its official acts, &c.; that tbe Legislature recognize the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution as part of that instrument, and desire, in good faith, to abide by its provisions, as expounded by the Su? preme Court of the United States, and the amendment thus construed its the supreme law of the laud, und should be obeyed and respected by all the co-ordi? nate departments of the Government; that the bill now boforo Congress,-j known as tho Civil Rights bill, is in violation of thin amendmeut, us inter? preted by the Supreme Cmrt; in an in? fringement on tbe constitutional aud legislative powers of the States; is sec tioual iu its operatiou, aud injurious alike to the white and colored popula? tion of the Southern States, and that its enforced application iu theso States will provo destruotivo of their systems of education aud the enlightenment ol the colored population, in whose improve? ment the people of Virginia feel a lively iuterest; produce a ooutinued irritation between the raoe>; counteract the paci? fication and the development now hap? pily progressing; repel immigration; groatly augment emigration; re-open the wounds now almost healod; engen? der now political asperities, and para? lyze tho power and influence of the State Government for controlling and promoting domestio interests and pre? serving intimate relations; that the peo? ple of Virginia aud its Legislature ear? nestly protest against this bill, and in? struct their Senators and request their Repr?sentativen in Congress firmly, but respectfully, to oppose its passage; not only for the reasons expressed, but as a measure which is oaloulatod to arrest the growing sentiments of conoord and harmony between the Northern and Southern States. Jacksonville, III , January 5.?The national crop by reporters' figures show that the coru crop this year of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee is 211, 200,000 below that of 1872. The potato orop in the same States shows a loss of 18,400,000 bushels. Washington, January 5.?The Presi? dent was at the Capitol three hours to? day. He first sent for Speaker Blaine and the Louisiana delegation, aud atter I wards for the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. There has been some small caucusing to-day over the pending Civil Rights bill. It is undorstood that at the olose of tho debate to-morrow, Gen. Butler will move its recommittal. Timid Re? publicans seem to insist upon this uctiou, which virtually defeats tho bill, without personal commitment for or ugaiust it. It is stutod iu other quar? ters that the uctiou is iu the line of con? ciliation, aud was prompted by tho reso? lutions of tho Virginia Legislature. Some Virginia Republicaus were pro? minent iu tho movement. A bill was introduced in tho House to-i'.ay authorizing tho President to ap? point a commission to investigate tbo subject of wages und hours of labor, and of tho joint profits of labor aud capital between the laborer and capital? ist, aud tho social, educational and sani? tary condition of the laboring classes of tho United States. Treasurer Spinner leaves bore to? morrow for Florida, for tho bonelit of his health. Tho Internal Revenuo Office was olosed to-day in respect to the memory of the lato Deputy Commissioner Sweet. Tho House Committee on Appropria? tions this morning, in discussing the army appropriation bill, out ont all esti? mates for tbe armament of coast fortifi? cations, except such ub were deemed absolutely necessary for the national safety. A great many forts, it will bs remembered, during the Virginius ex citemeut, were ordered to be mantled, and the effect of the action of the com? mit too will be to let them remain as they were heretofore. The Senate, to-day, was principally engaged on the salary question, but no action. Wright, of Iowa, introduced a resolution instructing, tho Gommitteoon Civil Sorvioo and Rtrenohmont to in? quire into the expedienoy of making a reduction of ten per cunt, on the sala? ries of all the Govornmeut officers. Bogy mudo a speech on tho finauoes, iu which he complained of the unequal distribution of tho currency to the de? triment of the South uud West. Bishop Wilmer visited the Provident to-day, and represented that there were! starving people in Louisiana. The bishop, accompanied by the President, proceeded to the capitol, where they bad a conference with tbe Louisiana delegation. Gen; Sypher will, to-oior ropi introduce a resolution authorizing tbe War Department to issue rations to tbeee people. Only the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Oommittee were in conference witb tbe President at tbe capitol. The object or result was inae-l oessible. It is supposed to be abuut Williams. Governor Warmoth is here. In the House, Wheeler, of New York, from the Oommittee on Appropriations, reported the army appropriations. The Hoose then resumed the consideration of the supplementary Civil Rights bill. Frye, of Maine, said he had had oharge of a similar bill at the last Congress, and was prepared to advocate it at length, but he was ho eouvinocd that the bill commended itself to th? great majority of tbo House and conn try, that be would not occupy tbe time of tbe House, but would yield the floor to Mr. Harris, of Virginia. Harris addressed: the House in opposition to tbe bill, con-1 tending that Congress bad no right toj interfere with tbe internal legislation of the Slates, und that this bill would break up the pnblic school system, and the lunatic asylum*, and other charita? ble institutious of the South. He ap? pealed to the House, whether any one would contend that the negro was the equal of tbo white man. A colored member (Lynch, of Mississippi.) rose in response to the challenge, but Harris, amid great laughter, declined to yield to him, uayiug that he was addressing himself to white men, and did not pro? pose to let a negro interfere. Stephens, of Georgia, next rose to ad? dress the House, but saw that ho could not say all he had to say in tweuty mi? nutes, and he asked to have uu hour al? lowed bim. E. R. Hour objected, but subsequently offered to withdraw the objection, in case tbe same privilege were granted to Elliott, of South Caro? lina, colored. Theu Walls, of Florida, also colored, renewed the objection, but he, too, withdrew it. Stephens theu took his position in the back part of the bull, ou the Democratic side, and pro? ceeded to read a speech in opposition to the bilf, remarking that, in view of the great importance of the subject, he had reduoed his views to writing. He was not opposed to the bill because of any Opposition be had to do full and ample justice tu every human being within the legitimate jurisdiction of the F?deral legislative power. Tbe chief end of all governments, whether State or Federal, should be tbe protection of right. His opposition to the bill sprung from no prejudice against any man, womau or child within the limits of the United States, ou acooant of race, color or pre? vious condition of servitude. Ho enter? tained no feeling of that kind, and was not governed in his action by any influ? ence of that sort. His opiuiou of jus? tice and its proper udmiuistrutioa was not founded on that dogma, so gene? rally announced, and so pernicious in principle, that it should bu for the great? est good of the greatest number; but on tbo higher rule, that it should be for the greatest good of all, without detriment or injury to any. While he did uot hold the d jotrino of the equality of the races, be did maintain the great truth, bow ever paradoxical it might appear, that all men wero or ited equal. That groat truth had bee announced first by a Council of Stute, on tbe 4th of July, 1776, bat it was never meant to convey tbe idea that all men were created eqaal in all respects?physically, mentally and morally. It was, however, meaut to as? sert tbe great law of nature?that all men had the same right to justice, and to stand perfectly equal before the law. In proof of his willingness to havo all natural rights seoured to colored men, he sent to the clerk's desk and had read extracts from addresses made by him to tbe pooplo of Georgia; but he .'as opposed to this measure, or to any oue kindred to it, because of tbo waut : the uecessary power on the part of Cougress, under thu Constitution. He assumed that every member would admit that the powers of Congress were specific and limited, and that all the legislative powers which Cougreas could rightfully exerciso were held by delegation from tbe people of the several States, and he contended that no new powers had been conferred ou Congress by either the fourteenth or fifteenth umeudmcuts tc the Constitution. The proper remedy was iu the judgment of the courts, tc bo reudered in such way us Congress should provide, declaring nuy Stato Act in violation of the rights of citizens tc bo null and of no effect. Ho opposed tbo bill further, because of its inexpediency, even if the powei wero unquestioned iu Congress to pasn this law. He thought it would bo inju? dicious aud unwise to exerciso it. Il would bo better to leave all such mut? ters to the State. Ho did uot beliove, in point of fact, that the eolorod people of Georgia desired it. Their religious and church organizations, except iu the case of Catholics, were distinct from those of tbo whites, and they had theii own schools?even a college for colored youths. They did not desire to have mixed schools. Mr. Stephens occupied tbe floor for an hour aud a quarter, hav? ing bad bis timo extended twice. At usual, however, in the ease of written speeohes, its delivery did not command or reoeive the attention of tbe House. Tbe peroration was in these words: "If you who oall yourself Republican shall, iu obedience to what you con? sider a party behest, pass this bill, in tbo Vdiu expectation that tbo Republi? can prinoiples of the old truo J offer* souian school uro dead, bo assured that you are indulging a fatal delusion. The old Jofforsooian Demooratio republi cau principles uro not dead, and will never diu su long as a true devotee ol liberty lives. They may be buried for n period, an Magna Charta was trodden ! ander fuot iu England for more than half a century, bat these will oome up with renewed energy, as did those of Magna Charta, and that, too, at no dis? tant day. Old Jeffersonian Democratic republicans will be dead indeed when the tides ef ocean cease to ebb and flow; when the winds of heaven are hushed into perpetual silence; when the clouds no longer thunder; when earth's elec? tric bolts are no longer felt or heard; wheu her iotornal Ores go out; then, and not before, will these prinoiples cense to animate and move the liborty loviug masses of this country." Ranaier, of South Carolina, a colored mem? ber, followed, in a written speech, in anpport of tue bill o >n to n ding that there was no prac? tical freedom in the Southern States for the colored people, aud would not bo so long as tbe matter waa left to the discretion of the several Statos. Mills, of Texas, opposed tbe bill, as an unauthurizudand uuconatitutional assumption or power. Elliott, of South Ca? rolina, obtaiued the floor, but yielded to a motion to adjonrn. Tbe Speaker laid before the House a mes? sage from tbe President in reference to tbe atoamor Yirgiuius. Tbe message was read and referred to tbe Committee on Foreign Affairs. Adjourned. Probabilities?Fur the Southern States, East of the Mississippi iliver, partly cloudy weather, with rain, the temperature rising slightly in the Mississippi Valley, and falling in tho South Atlantic States. New York, January 5.?One thousand un? employed workiue-mon assembled in Union Square to-day. The chairman advised tho men not to be too hasty, but to organize on tbo spot, and proceed at once to tbe City Hall, and await the reply of the Controller .aud Board uf Aldurmoa to their demands, i rhoy ought to take no denial if they wished 'success. Tho next speaker, Magaire, ad vised tho men to be law-abiding citizens, andsaid, if tho demands were not acceded to by fair means, then f tree mint be resorted tj. A committee of tivo was appointod to wait on tho Mayor and Controller, attor which the men started in a body for the City llall. Tho working-men reached the City liall shortly alter 11 o'clock. After waiting a lengthened period, they wore unable to soo either tho Mayor or Controller. The committee of five, appointed at Union Square this morn? ing, then visited several uifioora, bnt failed to obtain any interview with any of the heads of departments. Alter - fs* addresses, dc uouacing tbo action of tbe authorities, and resolving to hold a grand demonstration on Thursday next, the crowd dispersed. Henry Clews A Co. resumed their business to-day. They anuounco the fact in a circu? lar, i? which thoy warmly thank their credit? ors for their forbearaucc, and declare their readiness now to pay all obligations in full. Montgomeby, Ala .January 5.?The case of Lehman Broa. vs. Strasburger, tried be? fore Judge Busteed last spring, was heard, on a writ of error, by Judge Woods, of .the United Statos Circuit Court, at Mobile, on Friday aud Saturday last. Lehman Bros. Idled a petition to put Strasburger into invo? luntary bankruptcy, on a noto given for losses on what are commonly known as fu? ture cotton contract*, which contracts were inado and losses paid, as they alleged, by Lehman Bros., as the factors and agents of Strasburger?a trial by jury was had. Judge ?luslood. in his instructions to the jury, held that such contracts were Illegal. Lehman Broi. sued out a writ of error from the Cir? cuit Court of tho United States at Mobile to? day. Judge Woods delivered hie opinion at Mobile, iu which ho decided that the con? tracts, as proven, are valid and binding. Said contracts wcro proved to have been madu according to the rales of the New York Cotton Exchaogo. Judge Woods rovereod tho decision, and remanded tho case tor trial by iiuothor jury.
