[From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.]
London, Jan. 11, 1870.
Dion Boacicault's letter to Mr. Disraeli,
urging the release of the Fenian prisoners,
is editorially noticed by all the journals of
this city, except the Times, in an ironical
spirit.
an odd appeal.
The TeUijraph says that it is an odd appeal,
And that if oil onnnlor itl.
sorted such a privilege as this of Mr. Boucicault
the English people might expect a
monthly jail delivery. The sympathy of
English audiences, that journal says, is
always given for the outlawed ; but yet no
one dreams of politics in the theatre. It is
a matter of political expediency, and the
government will not be induced to reconsider
the case of tho Fenians because of
Boucicault's letter.
BOUCICAOT/r's LESSON TO STATESMEN.
The Standard is very sarcastic over Boucicault's
new role, in which he rehearses his
lesson to statesmen. Speaking of the comments
of theatre audiences on the Fenian
question, it adds that when in the pantomime
the clown stifles the baby, laughter?
the applause of the audience?might as well
be interpreted as an approval of infanticide.
THE DRAMATIST WRITES ANOTHER LETTER.
Boucicault writes again to the Telegraph,
disclaiming any mercenary object in his
appeal to Disraeli.
POPULAR DRAMATISTS AS JUDGES.
England is not yet prepared to accept
popular dramatists as trustworthy judges of
State questions.
THE STEAMSHIP PACIFIC.
RESULT OF THE SECRET INVESTIGATION INTO
THE CAUSE OF THK DISASTER.
San Francisco, Jan. 11, 1876.
The proceedings of the secret investigation of the
steamship Pacific disaster by Captain Waterman and
James Hillmau, United States Inspectors, have been
made public. They report that the accident was the
fault of the officer of the ship Orpheus,
and In consequence of steering wrongly.
The inspectors are unable to account for
the failure of the Pacific to stop and back when the
collision bccnmo inevitable; but find that it was impossible
to tako steps for the preservation of life after the
collision on account ol the panic among the passengers.
Captain Waterman seeks to justify nis course as
Inspector ol Hulls by declaring that the Pacific was perfectly
seaworthy. The cfiecl of the collision unon the
steamor is accounted for by the (act that she gave the
blow with the bluff of her bow, where the space between
the frames in steamers Is from twelve to twenty
inches, whercus in sailing vessels it is not more than
from three to six inches. Tho timbers also arc smaller
in steamers and the whole construction lighter, and
they are, therefore, much weaker. The opinion is expressed
that tho samo effects might have been expo
rianred it the Pacific had been a now vessel, instead of
an old one.

Effect of Ben Hill's Speech on the
Amnesty Question.
THE TWENTY-SECOND JOINT RULE.
Eulogies in Senate and Hiuse on the Late
Ex-President Johnson.
FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, Jan. 11, 1376.
senator moiiton's effort in the matter or
the twenty-second joint rule? its possible
effect in counting the electoral
vote.
Senator Morton brought before the republican Sena,
torlal caucus to day the malior of the twenty second
joint rulo, for which he has for some time sought to
provide a substitute. This rule was adopted in 1865 as
a means of guarding against the counting of the Presidential
votes of some of the unreconstructed Southern
States. It was carefully drawn, and its essential
lealure ts a provision that when the two houses are as
semblod to witness the opening of the certiorates and
the counting of the electoral vote, if upon the
reading of any such certificates by the letters any
question shall arise in regard to counting the votes
therein certified, the same having been stated by the
presiding ofilcer, the two houses shall thereupon withdraw
and separately and without debate vote upon tho
objection. And here comes In the dangerous clause: ?
"No vote objected to shall be conDted except by the
concurrent vote o( tho two houses." The effect of this
is to throw out the vote of a State if either house objects
and to throw the presumption in tact
against the State. As no debate is allowed
under the rulo a very trivial objoction tuay
prevail, such as a technical irregularity iu ttie
certification by tho Governor of the Stuto. In the case
of Wisconsin, in 1856, the counting of its vote was objected
to on the ground that the electors did not meet
on the lawful day. They had beon prevented by a
severe snow storm, Dut the vote was nevertheless
throwu out. Sfnco the adoption of the twenty-second
joint rule the electoral vote ot Arkansas was thrown
out on the objection that the certificate did not bear
the great seal of the State, but only tho seul ol the Secretary
of State, and it was not*discovorod until afterward
that Arkansas had no particular great seal.
The object of Mr. Morion is to obtain such a change
in tho rule as shall aiiow limited dobato on objections
and prohibit the throwing out of a Stale's vote except
by the agreement of both tho houses, thus leaving the
presumption in favor of, instead of as now against, the
right of a State to have its electoral vote counted. But
it Is supposed by him that the democrats in the House
may rethse to chango the Joint rule, and tho Senate
caucus determined to-day, therefore, to begiu by abolishing
the present rule. The republicans hold that tho
Joint rules must, in effect, be readoptoil whenever a new
VWU^ICSO M.TmuiD.1 VUMW 19 IV* WJ, OTWV *WO Jfl'arS |
that a new House always formally adopts Its own
rules, and that, though It has been customary for the
two houses to silently or without action accopt the
Joint rules, either house is at liberty to refuse, whereupon
the joint rule becomes inoperative by it^e adverse
action of that one house. They propose, therefore, to readopt
all the joint rulos, except the twenty second, by a
formal vote of tho Senate to morrow, aud claim that
this will obliterate the twenty-second rule. It is understood
that some of the democratic Senators will object
to this, and there muy bo debate on it.
If the rule stands it is feared that if the electoral
voto should be close one parly might, on the counting,
object to a State, and by a party vote in one house
throw It oat, thus changing tho result of the election;
or each house might, It is suid, throw out States until
not enough were left to make the majority of all the
States which tho constitution requires, whereupon the
election would be thrown Into the Houso. Before the
adoption of the twenty second rule there was none at
all; the process of counting the electoral voto was performed
in accordance with the general provision on the
subject in the constitution, und this seems to have
worked sufficiently for many years.

THE DEBATE ON THE AMNESTY BILL?SCENES
AND INCIDENTS DURING THE SPEECH OF MIL
HILL, OF GEORGIA?ITS EFFECTS.
The debate on the amnesty question was continued
to-day bf Ben Hill, of Georgia, as he is familiarly
called to distinguish turn from the rebel General and
other Southern namesakes of more or less prominence.
His speech was, as might be expected, a defence of
Jeff. Davis in particular and the Southern Confederacy
in general against the charges and Implications of cruelty
in connection with Aodersonville. He thought
Mr. Blaine had no more right to connect Jeff. Davis
with tho brutal Wire than he bad to hold President
Grant responsible for the whiskey frauds of Babcock,
Joyce and McDonald. But perhaps, he said, sarcastically,
the geatleniau from Maino was trying to subvert
General Grant his rival for the Presidenrv dainih.
ter.) Mr. Hill got along swimmingly In showing
the clemency ami magnanimity or JcfT. Davis
and the Richmond Congress until Mr. Blame
read from a book an account of a resolution introduced
in the rebel Senate by Mr. Hill, authorizing the
putting to death of Union officers, soldiers or agents
who should he raptured circulating the proclamation
of emancipation within the Confederate Hoes, when
tho laugh rather went against Mr. Hill, and derisively
at that, for the announcement made a solemn tmpros lon.
Mr. Hill, on cross-examination, would neither
admit nor deny this report of his conduct. He then
assailed the action of the federal government?no. he
begged pardon, the republican party?for tho brutal
treatment of the rebel prisoners at Klmira, an account
of which he read from an old slip of newspaper.
Observing this, Mr Piatt, of New York, Inquired what
th(% authority was he was reading from. Mr. Hill
answered, ingenuously enough, "The New York
World," which admission was greeted with roars of
laughter. He had piled the agony on to a very great
height about the Klmira business wheu he was again
Interrupted by Mr. Piatt, who said he lived within
tnirty-slx miles of Klmira, and pronounced the whole
story unqualifiedly raise. Later on Mr. Hill read out of
a book some praises of Jefferson Davis' good qualities
After he hod read several paragraphs, Mr. Hale rose
and asked him from what authority he was quoting.
Mr. Cox hurriedly cried?' Don't tell him," and Mr.
Hill said, "Oat of this hook." H.ile |>erslsted in askta
the title of the book, ant Mr. Hill presently said it was
a life of Jefferson Davis by a Southern author. This
announcement created great laughter.
Mr. Garfield will continue the dcltale to-morrow, and
It will probably be closed during the day, as the democrats
arc tired of it Mr. Hill has not proved an eminent
success Tor bis party except In the capacity of a
boomerang. His speech was felt to he very injudicious,
and. while he is a ready and effective speaker, he thiew
himself open to his opponents in so many ways that he
became almost ridiculous. The republicans like Hill's
speech so much that tome of them talk to-night of
making up a fund to reprint it for general circulation
through the country. They profess to regard it as a
valuable campaign document.
THE EULOGIES ON* THE LATE EX-r RESIDENT
JOHNSON.
In the Senato 10 nay eulogies were delivered on
Andrew Johnson by Messrs. Morton. MrCreery and
others. When Mr. Mortort said that he votod for the
impeachment of Mr. Johnson, and then called him a
man of honesty and courage, the attention of every
person in the Chamber was fixed. The announcement
that the deceased was the flrit to introduce a home,
stead bill was received with surprise by the spectators
in the galleries, especially when Mr. Morton added
that Mr. Johnson was far in advance of the statesmen
of that day, both North and South, so far as homestead
legislation was concerned. The same spirit of fairness
w is shown when he spoke of the old friendly smile
with which Mr Johnson greeted him after the close of
the impeachment trial.

Chicago, Jan. 11, 187&
Tho Grand Jury did nothing to day in the whiskey
business, being In session only a short time, and hearing
witnesses in routluo cases. The petit Jury for tho
trial of the whiskey cases was drawn, and It consists
mostly of farmers from the vicinity of Chicago, just
like the Graud Jury. The government evidently will
not trust a jury of Chlcagoans. as groat sympathy with
the "crooked" drtitillors has been manifested here.
TUK DKPKNCK IN NO CASK KRAUT.
The Qrst of tho whiskey cases called was that of
l'etcr A. Schulter, a liquor dealer charged with destroying
his books to conceal his dealings In "crooked"
whiskey, lie appeared, and said that ho would bo
ready In a day or two. Mr. Qoutelle, one of
the special counsel of the government, said
ho was ready in the cuso against Cochrane
Ac llutcli ins; but Mr. Edmund Jussen,
tho principal attorney Tor the "crookuU" distillers, said
* he was not ready, Doth these distiller* nre said to
have escaped to Canada. The case ot tiolsen & Eastman
was then called. Mr. Jussen said that he was
originally counsel for tnein, but since tbey had been
taken into the confidence or the government be would
have nothing more to do with them.
Judge lilodgett Jocosely asked Mr. Jussen If ho was
to understand that he would appear for no one in
whom the government had confidence, and ho replied
that ho was not counsel for those who had pleaded
guilty belore the government.
Mr. Jussen asked lor a bill of particulars In the case
of tlio ganger Kublshauer, against whom there aro
three iudictments for conspiracy, and the Court deferred
a decision on the point, Mr. Boulelle saying that
it was Impossible to furnish such s bill All the
whiskey cases were called, tho dofenco not being
ready in any one ol them, except In that of
Shoemaker, Indicted for destroying the government
books of his liquor house, and this case will probably
be tried to-morrow. The court room, which is probably
the dingiest and dirtiest in the country, was packed, all
the "crooked" distillers being present.
SIIII'MKMTS Of WH1HK K V.
In regard to tho shipments ol "crooked" whiskey to
Eastern houses a government official told me to-uight
that the distillers would send their consignees both
"crooked" and "straight" to avoid suspicion. The
"straight" was entered on the government books of
those nouses and the "crooked" was not, and the latter
was peculiarly marked, so that the ronsignees could
distinguish It at a glance from tne lirst. Tne murks iu
use varied with different rectifiers the most favored
being "K. 0, B.," which meant "Keep Off Books;"
"C," which meant "Crooked," and "U," which stood
lor "Urapewlne." These letters were stencilled on the
heads of the barrels and excited no suspicion, as tbey
looked like ordinary sbipptug marks.
Mr. Boulelle, being charged by two of the "crooked"
distillers with having first received retainers of f >00
cash to defend them and then having gone over to tho
prosecution without returmug the fees, says that he
rendered thorn enough service for the money, and if ho
did not he was ready to refund It.

HEW BILLS.
In the House of Assembly this afternoon, Mr Lewis,
of Hudson county, Introduced a bill to extend the five
County act to all parts of the State. This act exempts
from taxation all mortgagee.
Mr. Kgan, of Union county, Introduced a preamble
and resolution Betting forth that an effort has boen
made to unnecessarily alarm the friends of free and
unsectartau schools by promulgating the idea that
there is danger of legislation Inimical to the system,
and resolving that the Legislature tuke the earliest opportunity
to reaffirm the doctrine of a total se|iaration
of Church and State; to declare that a system of free
unscctarian schools is the settled and unultcrablo policy
of this State, aud lo repudiate all idea of legislation iu
any way impairing the thoroughness and efficiency of
tree schools, and forhid the uso of the moneys raised
for their support and maintenance in any manner not
warranted by the letter uud spirit ol the constitution.
They were laid on the table.
rnx oovku.nok's message
was delivered to tUe Legislature. The Governor urges
that the luvv depriving persons convicted of hrlliery at
elections of their suffrage be amended so that the penalty
apply to persons convicted of bribery of any kind
whatever, unless pardoned. He speaks as follows of
the schools:?"To secure free schools throughout the
State is now a constitutional duty. Kroo schools are
safeguards of tho State and nation, and should he kept
completely divorced from sectanau control or iiilluenco.
It is a cardinal principle in our political economy and
fundamental in our system of government that Church
and State must be kept perfectly separate: but mistaken
notions arise oftentimes in applying the principle.
Wo should never loso sight of the (act that this
is a land of Christian, or Hiblo, character and
civilization, and that its teachings are the foundation of
our virtuo ami social elcvutiuu. To exclude it from
boiug rend in schools Is a retrogression toward heathenism.
The simple reading of the Hiblo in schools Is not
the teaching of sectarian or peculiar religious belief,
simply because it is used to establish religious creeds
and forms. The schools should never bo shut against
the Hilda Also for tho good ot society and citizenship
the Stale, In selocting tho objects of taxation, can well
afford to and should luavo untouched by the assessor
all edifices lor religious worship ami the lane, upon
which they stand actually necessary for their convenient
use and so exclusively used."
