the Loft Centre to vote in favor of the
retention of the present system, by which
Deputies to the Assembly are elected by
vote of tho whole department, instead of
adopting Minister Buffet's plans for the
separate election of a Deputy by each
arrondissement, will lead^to a disruption
of the majority and a Ministerial crisis
in tho present session of the Assembly.
If the Left Centre adheres to its resolu?
tion, there will be a strong majority
ogainst tho Government, and President
MaoMahon will be obliged to form a

London, May 24.?In the House of
Parliament, to-day, Disraeli, replying to
a question put by the Marquis of Har?
rington, said it was true that the Govern
. ment had advised the Queen to make
representations to Germany respecting
the relations between that power and
France. The representations had been!
made, and were of such a nature as to I
threaten the peace of England, to which
they had received a satisfactory reply;
but it would not be to the public conve?
nience to lay a copy of, the correspond?
ence on the table of the House. It is
understood Disraeli will give notico to?

Cleveland, Ohio, May 23.?Rev. j. S.
Noble, of New Jeysey, introduced the
following resolutions, which were re?
ferred to a committee:
Resolved, That the continuous, persist?
ent and repeated efforts of the papists
throughout the country, under the
tutilage, direction and advice of the
papal nierarohy, to obtain control of the
school funds in the Beveral States of tho
Union, or to have a portion of said school
funds diverted from the legal and legiti?
mate uses to which said funds are
pledged, in order to devote the money to
the support of papistical schools, demand
from all Protestant ChristianB of every
denomination, and every citizen of the
United States opposed to a union of
church and State, resolute, determined
and Combined effort and unceasing
watchfulness to prevent the success of
the insidious attempt now being made in J
all sections of the country by the adhe
rents of the papacy to secure control of
the school money; and it is hereby re?
commended by the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church that all at?
tempts to subvert our school funds, or
m divert any portion of the various school
'funds in any of the States of the Union to
or for the use of any churoh or sect, shall
be resisted and prevented by all legal
and honorable means.
Resolved, That the outcry of the papal
hierarchy against what they call our
"Godless schools" can with far more jus?
tice and greater propriety be applied to
tho schools they have instituted. Da the
common schools of our country, the pure
Word of God is read without comment,
while in the papistical schools tho Bible
is excluded, ana dogmas and traditions
of men are substituted for the com?
mandments of God.

The Court of Claims, to-day, con?
firmed the reports of Special Commis?
sioner Evcleth, with several amend?
ments. They cover a number of claims,
involving large amounts of cotton. The
first funds, consisting of Vioksburg and
Natchez cotton, which was so intermin?
gled as to destroy its identity, was or?
dered to stand at the sum of $948,300.
In addition to the above, judgment was
rendered in about thirty-eight separate
cases, covering 5,510 bales of cotton,
which, at the sum fixed by tho Court,
gives a total of nearly $1,000,000. Col.
Robert M. and Stephen A. Douglas, sons
of tho late Stephen A. Douglas, of Uli-1
nois, receive on award for 1,457 bales of
cotton, or about $259,000, siezod in tho

plantation.
The Court of Claims, to-day, gave
judgment for $480,000 in gold, in favor

to cover the defalcation of Havorwtdl,
the cashier therein in 18G7?tho bank
contending that the United States having
secured the money through Haverwell's
knowledge and participation in the
fraud, could not hold the money. No i
opinion was, as expected, delivered in1

transportation cases. The amount claimed
is about $500,000. On Monday noxt
tho court will adjourn for the summer.

on tho motion cf the Government for a
new trial. Tho Assistant Attorney
General claimed that the cotton, for
which a largo award had been mado, had
been sold to the Confederate Govern?
ment, and several affidavits in support
of this position were presented. Coun?
sel for Elgee referred to tho affidavits
and private information in order to show
that the claim was justly allowed, but
that impediments were now thrown in
the way of the payment of tho award by
persons endeavoring to extort black
mail. ' If the Court should re-open the
case, it could not be tried before the fall
term.

While tho services were in progress in
the church, which was crowded, a fire
broko out in tho woods adjoining. The
wind fanned tho fire into an angry flame,
which soon reached tho teams of those
in attendance. Three horses were burned
to death, and about twenty so badly
burned that they cannot recover from
their injuries. The loss in horses, car?
riages, timber, otc., is $7,000.

her head toward the right shoulder, with
a little backward movement at the same

about, sixty-six barrels of whiskey from

key was tracked from Chicago via New
York to that city, and is believed to be n
part of a "contraband" lot which has
caused some trouble out West. The East

The CnATEn.?Tho crater at Peters?

who desired to visit the spot found that
before doing so they must pay the owner
of the farm ^>n which it is situated
twenty-five cents each.

Some of the Republican papers express
surprise at Vice-President Wilson's

and distributed, announcing their ar?
rival as that of traitors and conspirators,
who had no business treading on North?

blown into shreds. In a week or two
thero were ten applicants for his place.
One reason why King Alfonso cannot
fight Don Carlos and the Cubans very
long is a financial one. Tho revenue of
Spain is only $80,000,000; her debt is
$2,650,000,000, and the interest on it ab?
sorbs the whole revenue. Then the war
is costing more than the entire revenue.
It looks as if Spain would soon be hope?
lessly bankrupt.
