Albany, Feb. 29.?The monifig Mnioa of
the Assembly wa? chiefly taken up with tho considera?
tion cf bills of a local or private character. The bill to
limit the expenditures of the public money of the Super?
visor? of Kings County, and oue to abolish the County
Auditor ut Brooklyn, brought out the Democrats la de?
fense of things established. A motion wa? made to strike,
out the first section of the Supervisor bill. Mr. Bsrrl
oppo.-ed on the ground that the office of Supervisor at
Large fll unnecessary, and was only creaU-d to give a
pl.u-e and a ?alary to a polltleul favorite.
Mr. Mose'.ey desired that all measure? of reform in rela?
tion to Br oklyn should be brought up Uigmher. The
gentleiunn who now fills the office In question was
worthy of It, and had the confidence of the people. Ho
ha? stood as a check upou the tax on the treasury. Thl.i
Mil wus lbs kind of legislation he liked to be. . Nothing
so much contributed to the growth of the Dea*m ratio
piirtv. The hurricane of last year had lifted men Into
place? In a wag they would never know again. 1 want
the people of King? to understand that this I. iglalaturs
i? reform only when it helps Republicans. Mi. .in.id
thought every measure of reform should be ti kei, tip a
It comes. The duties performed by the oliL-er lu question
could be doue by the regular Hoard of Supervisors.

WAfiniNT.TOv, Feb. 29.?The Ion?; aRony in
the Senate Is, at last, over, and Mr. Bumncr's resolution,
ordering an Investigation Into the circumstances attend?
ing tlie sale of arms to Franco, has been passed. The
last set speech was made by Senator Carpenter, and is
acknowledged by all to be by far the.ablest on the Ad?
ministration side which bos been made, and almost the
only one on that side which showed a disposition
to grapple with tho real question? at issue and
dispos? of them. Mr. Carpenter devoted tho greater
part of lus speech to the international aspect of the in-;
the position which ho took was that any nation may, by
the rules of International law, sell arm?, munitions of
war, supplies, Ac, to any other nation, whether the lat?
ter bo at war or at peace, provided no discrimination be
made against a nation with winch our relations are
friendly. He even went further, and said that two
nation? at peace might make a treaty by which each
should agree to ?ell to the other, In ca?e It should be In?
volved lo a war, material of auy kind, or open Its ports
to tbe privateers of the other, excluding, at
the samo time, the privateers of all
other nations. Buch a treaty was made between
this country snd France, during the last century, and
when Frsnce and England were involved in war, and the
latter protested that wo were according privilege? to
France which we were not according to her. We showed
our treaty, made before tbe war, and with no unfriendly
pnrposo toward England, as our Justification. Senator
Carpenter ?pioted from all the standard authorities on
international law, aud cited precedents to snstaln his
position, and had our Oovemment laid down no rule for
Its own guidance on tho breaking out of the Franeo
PruMahin war, it would have been diillcnlt to have an?
swered hi* argument, even If it were admitted that our
Government dealt directly with the Government of
Fiance.
Put Mr Schurz, la s few word?, turned over Mr. Car?
penter'? ?i i muent, ?o fur as It applied to fhe case in
hand, admitting that our Government did nothing
which. In the abstract, was a violation of our neutral
obligations. Our Ordnance Burean may still havo vio?
lated tlie rule which the Government had BBM fit to lav
down a? law for Itself in the sale of arms, vli. : not to
sell directly to cither lielligerent, nor to the known
?gent of either. Ami anyone who has listened to the
long debate, and heard the rumor? about town, must be
convinced that there 1? good ground for suspicion that
this rule was not strictly enf irceil.
Mr. Carpenter did not discus? the right of the Chief of
Ordnance to BsU breech-loading Hprtiii*fl'-ld rifles of the
model of lav., or any other of fhe many question.? which
_rshaeatalaaft dartag the past three week?, sxsept
that, in opening, he, a? other Senator? have done before
til?n, nit:.land the motive? of the movers and advo?
cate? of the resolution, an 1 drew In the ha-clrosl
of colors a picture of what he conceived would
be the result If the investigation ?hould proie
mi} thing. When the Admiulstiatlun Senator? have
exhausted nrguineut on the resolution, they
have,.throughout, engaged In throwing mud upon MBSStSi
Sumuor ami Schurz, and accused t hem, first, of inn kin g
up a case for France, and then for Germany. Mr. Q_p>
fmtmml ami Mr. Morton repeated it to day. but their re?
peated ai? Baattaas ?cerned to rom luce nobody but them?
selves. The reply that ltjtlie conduct of Government otfl
BSIB is such tbut it cannot Is- exposed to the light, with?
out furnishing e\ id.-nie to BS uaed to our hurt by foreign
nations, the quicker we know it and get rid of them the
better, sileuces those who aceu-e auch men a? Suiuner
and Mm of being nnpatrliitic.
Mr. Curpeutcr's speech had many of those good-liu
niored, winy pa?s.ir.-? nhich bestrew? through B~SB*f
?peer 11 he make?, aud, having oaught Mr. Suiuner i|Uot
liiA* Commodore Decatur's word?, " Our country, right or
wrong," as "an old heathen cry, which dethrones God
and exalt? the devil," he, In relating the circumstances
Ululer whlcb Deeatur pronounced the words, and de
feudlng the sentimnnt a? ho understood it, made mutiy
fiiu:i> references to "that old heathen, Dt-cattir."
I Rarely 1? Mi. Simmer caught in a misquotation, aud It
is thought by yonngei Senator? only fair that they ?hall
" go for " bim when they have an opportunity.
Ot the motions to lay the pr. amble ou the tilde, '.fie.
the r.-solutioii had la-en adopted, the point? of ?.nier
made, th.-appeal? from tlie de.l-.iou of the vica-Prcal
dr-iit, and other pm tiaracutary dodges, by WhtShshoat
two hours of the evening were wu?'cd, and a dozen
senator.?, who h;;d uiado engagement! to ?line, were
obliged to content them-Hlves with cold meats in the .-, n
ate restaurant,, uol>od> cares, now that the matt, i is
di-poscd of.
Mr. Sumner ;.itempt?d to withdraw bii preamble, al?
though be liefen.le i its BSSSfttOMb and dually It wa?
tabled. Mr. Edmunds alone voting iu the negative. After
the whole matter had licou disposai of, Mr. Morton, In
giving Mr. Sumn-r a parting -not, almost put the whole
debate oti its feet again, and it is now doubtful If sonic
Senators, having got a taste of political debate, will be
nhu-to restrain lliciii?<-!ves, i.-vcu on the Appropriation
bill providing for their own pay. Tlie Vice-Prcalilent de?
cided that tlie Cuiuuilttee oedsrad was one that mus? la

30, though purchased before that time, and before the
delivery of the telegram. Gen. Bclknap repeated over
und over ?nain to Gen. I)y?-r that no ?ales should be
hmde to any agent of the French or Prussian Govern
meut?. No arms wero sold to any ageut of the Pr.-nt h
Government to his knowledge. He had already ?fated
the amount realized from the sale of anna, &o. It was
?0,748.943; of this sum, iD,iW,%i6 bO had tieen deposited in
the Treasury, a? jrer certltlcates on file ; ?120,000 wa? re?
ported in the hunds of depositors on the so.li of June,
1871 ; tbe balance was expended for preparing store? for
the sale, fitting them up, ?fee.
In reply to a question by the Chairman ss to the dis?
crepancies between tho account? of Mr. Ward and the
Treasury Department, Bccretary Beiknap ?aid ho was
aware of none. The close of the fiscal year of the War
Department was the same as that of the Treasury De?
partment, namely, the 30th of June. As to the Treasury
l>ook showing the amount? received for the arms, Mr.
Belknnp explained that iu almost every case payment
was made by cash checks. Margins varying from S to
20 per cent are observed on large transaction? to secure
the United state.?, and .tbe cheek? are carried a? quickly
as possible and paid Into the hands ot the Government
agents. The full amounts are received by the agents, I
principally in New-York and prior to the delivery of
any arms to the purchaners. The depositing oflk-or re?
ceives from the United State? Assistant Tn a?urcr a cer?
tificate of il"isi-it. Tho money is turned over from time
to time, and drawn against the Assistant Treasurer In
favor of tbe Treasury; the certificates are examined
through the Secretary of War, to be covered iuto tho
Treasury to tho credit of the receiving ofllccr.
Iu answer to a question a? to what time the Secretary
of the Treasury closed up his annual report, and whether
it is not the 30th of June, Gen. Beiknap could not answer
positively, but presumed so. In the War DcpartuieTit
the rule is to make up the report of the Secretary to the
eud of tho fiscal ye-.r ; but the Secretary Is not required
to have his report ready until the 20th of November. Ho
nlmed to Inform Congres? of what occurred between the
lBt of July and the 30th of November. Although t?, hni
cally the report Is made up to the 30fb of June, tho Infor?
mation contained therein is lieyoud that date.
The Chairman having asked whether any of the par
tie? iflstfaaM in executlvo document No. 8J n? pur?
chasing arm?, during tho period named were ??rents of
any foreign governments, Mr. Il-lknap responded not
to hi? knowledge, and not until October did he have any
such Intimation through the receipt of a telegram al
rendy read to the Committee, when, a? he had already
stated, he ?topped the sales to tlemiiigton. Pi tor to that
time be did not know Remington was an agent of the
French Government. In reply to a question, Gen.
Hi iknap referred to a letter of Gen. Dyer, dated
Jan. 2.1, 1872, as giving n proper cxplauitlon,
namely ; At the close of th? war of the Ib-bcIlion the
Ordnance DepaitmeBt found It-elf In poSBBSSlOB Bf URS

allegations in record to the purchase of arm? mid,, by
K'-mington to the President of the Couiuiis?iou of Arma

G.-n. B.-lkiiap, In response to a question wbethrr some
of the arms could not lm\e been -old without furnishing
ammunition, -aid the ammunition was made to effect the

sons,'or make a ?tateuient over his ?Iguature, or auy
statement by which I could convict of fraud anjr one of
these otti.eis or ofhci iktsou? connected with the G?>v
raniment. He did not do so. I kept ? memorandum of
the statement that he did make to me, but It contains
uothlng fr-uii which I can obtain Information relative to
any oflicei of the Government. I begged him to give me
specific iiiiormatlon, but be had none. Our conversation
vent further hut I got nothing bearing on tbe point,
The Chairman Mid he had invited Senator Sunincr to
ap|H-?r and to give any fact? he might have to offer, but
he liad not come forward. In order further to arrange
for the examination, and to obtain official ?tatemei.ts,
which the Secretary indicated his readme?? to fuim-h,
being desirous that the investigation should be thorough,
tbe Committee adjourned until next Tuesday week.
