The Georgia pl&niara' petition for increase of United States notes was upi Mr. Sherman said he de aired to offer one .or two amendments, being moditioations of tbe second and fourth sections nf tbo bill stricken out, and be would be glad if the Senate would allow the finance bill to go over till Monday, and go on with other busi? ness to-day.- Peudiug discussion, at the request of Sherman, the Seuate took up the bill providing for paymeut of bonds of tbe Louisville and Portland Canal Company, the question beiug on n mo? tion of Tburman, to disagree to the House amendment aud ask for a com? mittee of ooufereuoe. Chandler moved to'refer tbe bill to the Committee ou Commerce. Sherman, Thurmun und Morton advocated the reference of the bill to tbe Oonferenco Committee, ou the ground that, it should be disposed Of immediately,, that the Government might take possession of the canal, in pursuance of 'the original contract, uud reduce the tolls thereon to relieve the oppression tho excessive tolls uow charged by the trustees lias upon the commerce of the West. Oonkling aud Hamlin doubted the propriety of tbe Government paying any money upou the bonds nntil thu State of Kentucky shall oede to the United States jurisdic? tion over said canal, and advocated the reference of the bill to the Committee on Commerce. Adjourued without action. In tbo House, eighty private bills were passed. An adverse report wqb made from the Committee on War Claims iu ths case of J. <fc T.

The House, some time ago, adopted a resolu? tion, directing the Special Committee j on the Washington National Monumcut to inquire into the expediency of erect? ing a monument over tbe grave of the mother of Washington, at 'Fredericks burg, Va. A sub committee, accompa? nied by an engineer of tbe United States Army, will go to Fredericksbarg Jo-morrow, with reference to this sub? ject, with a view of reporting to the House on tbe subject. The Comptroller of tbe Currency de? clared a dividend of 25 per cent, iu fa? vor of creditors of tbe Morcbauts' Na? tional Bank, of Petersburg, Virginia. A dividend will also be paid to tho credit? ors of the National Bank of New Or? leans of 25 per cent., as soon as sche? dules are prepared, making a dividend of 60 per cent, iu all to tbe creditors ol thut bank. Philadelphia, April 1.?Fenuemore and Samuel B. Tay, arrested by Pinker ton's D?tecti,ve Agency for embezzling while acting as conductors ou tbo New Jersey Division of the Penusylvuuiu Railroad, aud who pleaded guilty, were brought up for sentence to-day. Mr. Gassiday, representing tbe Pennsylva? nia Railroad Compuuy, said: "I desire, beforo moving for sentence iu these cases, as couusel of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company, at whose instance these, prosecutions were commenced, to say that our purpose, mainly, in having the oaso of Spreu es called to trial was to demonstrate to the employees of this and all other corporations, us well as to ^ the community, that no combination of these servants were so powerful or bo adroit in their management as to be able to defy tbe law; that the law, that of tho land, was powerful enough to protect the rights of corporations *?s well as to reward faithful aervauts. This corporation has instructed mo to say that they have had no feeling in this matter, exoept to vindicate tbo law, and to ask you in mercy to these men to so temper your sentence as to prcveut im? prisonment, and yet impose such pun? ishment us will show that thin is not in idle oeremony, but is to be a warniug for the future to all concorned." The Judge said: *'I very much regret to find men who have hitherto occupied re speotable positions uow placod at the bar of this court for sentence. I havo no hesitation in saying that but for thu course of thy Distriot Attorney, coupled with tbe appeal of the counsel for tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for a merciful seutenco, that I should have imposed imprisonment as a part of my sentence. Regarding, however, their request, aud in tho belief that a mode? rate sentence may have thu effect of de? terring others, I have concluded to omit the imprisonment, but to impose the highest fines allowed by Act of tho As? sembly. Tbe sentence is that ench of you pay a fine of $500 and tbo costs of the prosecution, and stand committed until tbo same is paid." San Francisco, April 4.?Tho great two mile trotting match this afternoon, at Oakland Park, between Mattie Howard and'John Stewart, was wou by the latter in 59.03 seconds. Howard was almost neck ond neck with Stewart at the close. During the most of tbe race, Howard was ahead from six to ten lengths, but was finally beaten. New York, April 6.? Tho steamship Tybeo, from San Domingo on the 30tb ultimo, brings the following: The .Bri? tish Consul-General of Port-au-Prinoe had been on a tonr of observation to Satnaoa Bay, and had afterwards visited Santo Domingo, with propositions from tho Hajtien Government for a treaty between the two republics. Among tho conditions of tlie*proposed treaty, it is said, were a cession" t? Hayti of the disputed territory on - the frontier aud an annulment'of ?'the S?m'ana Bay Con? vention, made..with citizsnfc of the United State*. TheBe conditions beiog admitted by the Dominican-Uovern ment, Hayti or England to loan a con? siderable sum to Santo Domingo, paya? ble at convenience and without interest. The discussion of this measure was causing great ezoitement throughout the island. The President eleot, Goo ua'ss, had not bosn installed in office, as the opnvention called for the purpose of framing a new constitution, was still unable to agree npon an article thereof. The special commissioners of tho Sa mana Bay Company have not succeeded in obtainicg an amicable settlement of tho questions pondiug between the Go? vernment aud tho company, and the Provisional Government has declared the Samana Bay Convention null and void. The commissioners have protest? ed against this summary act as arbitrary and illegal, aud instigated by British aud Haytien influence, aud demand au arbitration upon tho mutter iu dispute, according to the terms of tho conven? tion. The eompauy will, in tho mean? time, call upon tho Uuited States Go? vernment for protection agaiust any violent proceedings on the part of the Dominioau authorities. Dr. Howe re mains at Samana as acting Govvrnor, while Samuels aud FubeuB, with other members of the commission, will return to New York. Mail advices from Rio Janeiro state that tho Bishop of Poruambuoo was at? tended during his trial by the Bishop of Kansas. Six of the court stood iu favor of condemning the Bishop to four years' imprisonment at hard labor, one stood for a lighter puuishmeut, und one for acquittal. Hopes are expressed that the Emperor will commute the sentence to banishment. San Francisco, April 6 ?A tragedy occurred at tho Now York picture gal lory. One Cooder, prompted by jea? lousy, entered tho room and shot Ohas. Kingsley through the head, killing him instantly, and thou bluw his own bruins out. Kingsley was usher iu the theatre. Chicago, April 6.?Six inches of suow is ou the grouud. Elmlra, N. Y., April C.?A colored man, named Charles Smith, was shot dead iu this city, this ufteruoou, by an? other colored tnuu, Quo. Boyer, iu a drunken quarrel. Smith drew a kuife upon Bjyer, wheu tho latter shot him with u pistol. Boy er gave himself up. New York, April G ?Iu consequence of disclosures that Tweed, instead ot occupyiug a couvict's cell iu Blaokwell's Island Penitentiary, is iu possession of a comfortable room in the centre of tho building, well fitted up for his comfort, his private secretary says he wus givdu a room und a little more liberty than the other prisoners, from purely humane reason;!. It became a question with the authorities us to whether or not somo re luxation of the prison discipline iu his case wus not necessary, as au aosolute necessity of health. Tweed was extra? ordinarily corpulent, and to enable him to move ubout with any comfort, he was obliged to have his body bound up tight in clothes. Already in ill health, his sentence had a orushing effect upon his nervous system, and his condition at present is really pitiable. No prisoner in the penitentiary felt his' puuishmeut bo keenly. If it was insisted upon that ho should be confined in n cell, one would have to be specially constructed for him. as his size would preclude the possibility of his living in the ordinary ones; in fact, if tho strict discipline was enforced iu his case, his sentence to im? prisonment in the penitentiary would be equivalent to sentence to death. Washington, April G.?With refer? ence to the reports in circulation, that Secretary Richardson iutemls to resign, that gentlemau to-day said that what? ever may bo his intentions in this re? gard, be has communicated with no one; and that when he does make up his mind to retire from the Treasury De? partment, he will tako care that it is immediately niado public; aud that the present rumors grow out of the well kuowu fact that he has been pressed, for two or three years, to go into private business. Mr. Riohardsou said to day, thut the President has never communi? cated with him upon tho subject of his retirement from the treasury. In tho ISeUiite, Johnston, of Virginia, introduced a bill giving jurisdiction to the Codrt of Claims to hear the claim of G. W. Custis Lee to tho Arlington ostato.

New Haven, April G-2 30 P.M.? The vote in the city was light. Harri? son, Representative, for Governor, runs well, and will nearly cqunl Iugersoll here. The Gallaghor Democracy, cast? ing a vote of 1,000, aro all for Harrison. L. B. Morris, Democrat, for Senator, will probably bo elected. Tho -struggle over tho Representatives is very close, and probably one from oach ticket svill bo elooted. Prohibition is polling u heavy vote?probably three times that of last year in this city. If tho voting is of tho same oharacter throughout the State, it is likely the State ticket will be thrown into tho Legislature. Hartvord, April 6?2 30 P. M.?It is impossible to give anything definite about tho result.of tho election, bin tbo rote will npP?b? a heavyone. In this oity. it is probable the Democratic ma? jority-will be from 400 to 500 for Go? vernor, but there is a chance of the eleo tion of a Bopnb)ioa\ Mayor. Tbe pro? hibition vote iu the State will be much larger than last year." i?.dvioe? to day show that tbe pronibitlouists aro work iog hard in several localities-. It is generally thought there will be no elec? tion of Governor by the people. I NswYork, April 7.? Ex-Judge E 1 j monds, a weii known lawyer aud spirit? ualist, is dead.

Don glass, President, publishes u contradic? tion of tbe statement that tho Freed meu'a Savings and Trust Company is hereafter to bo officered exclusively by colored men and to be conducted exelu sively iu tho Iuttrcst of tho colored peo? ple. The South Caroliuu delegation had a hearing, this morning, before the House Sub-Judiciary Committee. Whitte moro's delegation were also piosent, in? cluding Congressman Elliott. Gov. Porter, Col. Lathers and Gen. KetsllttW addressed the committee ou their griev? ances. Tremaiue, of the sub commit? tee, expressed a desire to discover some justification for interposition by Con? gress in the domestic affairs of n sove? reign Stuto iu tho Union. Mr. Porter poiuted out that tho present anomalous government is the creature ol Cougress; that biuco its establishment, Congress has legislated to protect persons which it was alleged the State authorities omitted to do; so, now, it is alleged there is the omistiou by tbe authorities to protect property, and tho same right exists iu Congress to legislate to protect property iu danger of coufLeatiou as formerly to protect persons from alleged Ku Klux conspiracies. This is a oou apirucy agaiust property. The iinprea siou ou the committee is favorable. Whittemoro's delegation will bo heard Wednesday. After which. Simous und Butler will rejoiu for the in ? .uorialists. In the Semite, Robertson irtroduced a bill to incorporate tho Auglo-Aiutri cau Mutual Compauy.

Referred to the Com? mittee ou Public Luids. In the Senate, Juhustou presented a i memorial from the eldest sou of tbe late Mrs. R. E. Leo, G. W. Custis L-je, j sotting forth the defects iu tho title of tho United States to the Arlington estate, which was devised to hnu by bis grand-father. Mr. Johnston said thai Mr. Lee recognized the use to which the Arlington property had been put, and bad no wish to destroy it. All that be wished was, that tho matter bo re? ferred to tbe Court of Claim?, for such reasonable compensation as was due bim. Mr. Johnston introduced u bill referring thu mutter to tbe Court ol Claims, which, with tbo memorial, was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The Louisvidu aud Portland Canal bill was referred to tho Finance Committee. The Senate, by a vote of *29 to 2-1, paused the financial bill; the provisions of which tax the maximum of legal Lendci circulation at $100,000,000, and pro vides for au increase in the national buuk circulation of $10,000,000, making tho amount ol that currency also cluO, 000,000.

In the cuses of the MutttJ Lifo In? surance-Company, of New York., against Hamilton, et al, from the Circuit Court for tho Southern District of New York, and L.iti against the New York Life In-I snrauce Coinpuny, from the Tennessee' Circuit, tbe decrees were to-day affirmed by u divided court. These were tho test cases, put forth to determine the lia? bility of insurance companies ou poli? cies held at tho South on which pre? miums were not paid during the war, bat upon which the parties or their rep? resentatives tendered paymcut ufter the close of tbo war. As the eases result, tbo decrees below stund affirmed, und the parties uru us much in thu dark as to their rights as before the appeals to this court. It is thought, however, that tho court will graut a hearing, iu view of great amounts involved ill like cases. If this should occur, the presence of tho Chief Justice on tbo argument would prevent another division. Hullcdiiy vs. Daily, error to the Su? preme Court of Coiorudo Territory. Iu this case, liollcduy and wife joined iu executing a powur oi attorney, to sell their real estate, iu a section of tbo Ter? ritory. The attorney sold, making the deed iu tho uame of Holleday alone. Thereupon, tho latter repudiated the transaction, and nought to hold the pro? perty. The court below sustained the sale, and that judgment is hero af? firmed; thu court holdiug that a power of attorney to sell and oouvey real pro? perty, g'veu by n husbaud and his wife, authorizes"o conveyance by tbeuttorney of tho interest of the husbaud, by a deed executed in his uame alone. If it is said4 the wife iu fact have uo intercut in tho property, such individual deed passes the eutire estate. Mr. Justice Field delivered the opiuion. Iu the case of the city of Memphis against Brown and others, from the Tennessee Circuit, on appeal by the city to reverse a decree recovered against it 1>3' the appellees, tipou contracts for paving its streets, this court uffirms the decree, except as to the iteten for du mages for not having created a sinking fund for the payment of the bonds issued in pursuance of the contracts, the ileua for the services of attorneys, aud that for services iu collecting bills for paving. As to these, tho decree is uow reversed, and tho court below is directed to enter a decree in acoordauos with these views. Mr. Ju-tice Hunt deli? vered the opiniou. Tho Chief Justice announced that the oourt will not hear arguments after the 21th instant, and that it will tin ally ad? journ on the 4th of May.
