He had just gent a message to his son at Paris saying that the President's message assured the safety of the canal. Captain Eads read a paper in advocacy of his plan of ship railway. RKI'yilLICAN SENATORIAL CAUCUS. Republican members of the Senate, in caucus, after considerable interchange of opinions agreed that party interests would be promoted by a continuanco of the de bate on^tliH Fitz John Porter bill, and therefore will not give way to a rumored intention of the majority to postpone ac tion on the bill until next session.

THE INTKJt OCEANIC CANAL. Among the documents accompanying the President's message on tlio subject of the Inter Oceanic Canal, is the elaborate re port form Secretary Evarts, in which he sets forth its entire diplomatic history, tho main point being our treaty with New G/enada, which is still in force; and that canal communication, should it be accomplished in accordance therewith, and with the concurrence of the United States, that it is in such accordance, which under this treaty must be deemed essential, would be to-day, under the pro I tectton and guarantee of the United States, ! both its projectors and the Government of New Grenada, would be authorized in certain contingencies to call upon the Government of the United States for the fulfillment of the treaty obligation. In deed it is proper to add, on sevoral oc casions the Government of the United States has been callod on to oonsider and enforce its guarantee to the Government ol Grenada, of its rights of sovereignty, property and neutrality in the Isthmus. Secretary Evarts in conclusion describe! the character of the weighty resnonsibili ties that devolve on the (Jnitod States b) reason of the construction of the intei oceanic canal through the territory o Now Grenada, and remarks that it may well be assumed that no contract 01 negotiations could be entered into betweei private projectors and the Government o Columbia, except in contemplation of thii proposition of the United States under thi treaty and of the necessity that botl the private interests and public engage meats are involved in reliance upon tin power an/J faith of this government, fo their protection must be conformed to it rightful participation and control 'in an arrangements that may seriously p/Tect th discharge of its stipulated respongibilitiw ArkmiMM Crimen. hmiM Bocif, March 0.?Burglars brok op?n tho aafs (if Johnston, Itogers & Co [ of Mariaua, Loo county, last night, latin i otr$10,000 lu currency, State and count i warrant!.

Tin lira in the furnace of the crematory of pr LeMoyne, at Washington, was made read: yesterday, and all was prepared for th< incineration. This morning when thi Cincinnati Express arrived at the Unioi Depot, a pine box, apparently containing a body, wns taken out of the baggage cai and placed on a truck to await the arrival of the persons who had charge of it. The box bore the steucil mark oi the Metallic Burial Case Company of New York on one end, and in tbo center of the lid thore wai written with a led pencil: "Dr. Samuel Hahn, Washington, Pa." Jfo other mark or direction appeared on tho'box, and the baggnge agents did not know what to do with it, so they allowed it to remain on tho truck. When the nine o'clock train left for Washington a few curious persona gathered around the box to see if anyone claimed.it, but no one arrived. It was the same wav when the eleven o'clock train left, and then tho railroad employes began to be puzzled as to what it all meant A messenger boy was at the train with a message for Kov. L. Mayer, tho Jewish rabbi of this citv, but he did not arrive until shortly before the 1:20 express was due. When he heard that the body bad not been forwarded to Washington he was very angry and talked about "careless ness" and "inefficiency," but he did not explain why no one had boen on- hand to rcceive the body and take care of it. When the train came in Dr. Mayer met throe gentlemen, who were among the passengers, and began an excited an ani mated conversation with them in German. An attempt was made to obtain the names of these strangers,and some further detuils as to the past life of Dr. Hahn. The at tempt was made in vain. The gentlemen either pretended that they did not under stand English, or else they flatly refnsod to bo interviewed. It was finally deter mined by the party that they would go to Washington to-night on the five o'clock traiu. They did not seem to worry about the body, but left it remaining on the track and wont off to attend to their busi ness. A dispatch from Washington says that the trustees of the crematory expected the bodv to arrive this morning in charge of , Pro!. Felix Adler, but as it did not come arrangements would be mado to postpone i the cremation until further notice was re ceived. Later.?Dr. Hahn was cremated at , Washington, Pa., this evening. The body ! was accompanied by A. Kaufman, his father-in-law, nnd Dr. Ilappel, a friend, arrived at 7:10 r. m. The corpse, in a plain iron casket, was immediately con , voyed to the crematory and carried into | the receiving room of the furnace. The coffin was opened and the body lifted out and placed in the crib and covered with a sheet saturated in alum. No services ! whatever. At 8:05 p. m. the body was carried to the retort room by four men and shoved head foremost in, the door placed on and secured. A slight odor as of burning hair pervaded the vicinity. In 20 minutes the sheet began to expand and the bones of tho feet could be seen devoid of llesh. At the end of?-an hour the friends left per fectly satisfied. Orders were given to have the ashes forwarded by express to New York. NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. UELLAIUE.

KING HEAKNEY. WIihI Ho Tlilukn About the Nltuntlon. San Fbancisco, March 9.?Kearney was interviewed to-night on tho subject of a Vigilance Committeo and.kindred matters. He is defiant and evidently looks on the present excitement as furnishing him with fresh weapons. He says working men are peaceable und law-abiding; that the city is entirely safe in their hands,and that it is only Chinese employers aud stock gamblers who threaten to make any trouble. He alfects to troat the fdrmation of a vigilance committee with contempt and to bel|evo they will not dare to molest him, but it is noticeable that he has made a perfect arsenal of his residence. This morning he bought a Winchester repeat ing ritle, which he keeps in his sleeping room, and both his brothers, who live with him, are provided with revolvers and shot-guns. Kearney declares his intention of keep ingup the agitation, aud swears that if violence is used to stop him a speedy aud terrible vongetyce will be taken as a counter to the action of vigilfluts. He proposes to hold all employes of Chinese labor re sponsible for their action, and declares his intention of making a list of ^00 names of whoever he has reason to suspect of being concorned in it and reading it at the Sanu Lots. Every one of those men who do not clear themselves of the-suspicion that they are primers will be denounced as as sassins and marked for retribution. Kearney made a brief speech at the ward meeting in tho Irish-American Hall this evening, in which ho took substan tially the above grouuds, aud attacked bitterly men who are supposed to be prominent and vigilant in the movement. The crowd applauded his threats vocifer ously. the old DOMINION'. The Crttdfe or Mtnte RiRhlN Violently Hocked by tUe Mii|#dio Court Decis ion. Richmond, Va., March9.?In the Senate to-day a preamble anil resolutions were adopted relative to the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of J. D. Calio, county Judge in this State, indicted in the United States, Judge Hives', Court, for failing to put negroes on juries. The preamble recites in effect that the decis ion threatens the very existence of the State Government as a district sovereignty, and it places the judiciary of the State completely under the control of the Uni ted States, and if followed to logical re sults, will enable the United States Con gress to coerce the State Judiciary as well as the Stato Executive and Legislative De partments in all matters, thus destroying every vestige of State sovereignty, a most alarming doctrine to all who value the blessings of liberty for security, which the United States Constitution itself was es tablished and obtained. The resolution urges the Virginia Sena tors and Representatives in Congress to procure a repeal of all the laws of Con gress which tend to the exercise of the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, especially of that act under which the decision mentioned was render ed, and request tho Governor to com municate copies of the resolutions to the Governors of theseveral States,with a view of having tho Legislatures thereof take similar action. The General Assembly in accordance with the joint resolution agreed to last night, will adjourn at 11. f. u., and it is improbable that the foregoing action of the Senate will be concurred in by the House. TheChlitholui Murderer*. Ds Kalr, Miss., March 9.?The case against Virgil and Gully charged with the murder of John P. Gilmer was taken up yesterday. Henry, Virgil and Gully were all indicted together for this offence,but on motion of the Stato severance was granted. The two latter were elected to be tried on tho first, and the next Thursday set for the trial of the former. A special venue of seventy-five that bad been summoned and tbo two petit juries for the week/were yesterday exhausted. Out of this number only two jurors had been obtained (both negroes), tho court then ordered the Sheriff to summon 100 men to appear and auswer with reference to their tjmdifica tions as jurymen.

Oumbbblamd, March 7.?The interest ii " the case against Judge Pearre has no abated in the least, but is increasing a ' every step made into the investigation 1 The friends of the Judge earnestly seel for the case to go on, knowing that he wil ? couie out of the ftro of persecution with out even the smell of lire on his garments Many of the men whose names have beei sent down as witnesses have called upoi Judge Pearre to Bay that they knew noth ing of the charges and do not desire to b< classed among those who are endeavor ing to push him off the bench. They say; "We not only know nothing against youi judicial integrity, but are not insyinyath) with this disgraceful attempt to drag the judiciary down simply upon the evidence of bought witnesses." The general pub lic have begun to see the animus of the whole thing, as charge after charge has fallen by the statements of those who wero to sustain them. As the falsity of tho accusations are becoming apparent, the indignation of the people is turning against those who have made them. Tho Sergeant-at-Arms, Charles H. Pope, of the House of Delegates, arrived in this city at a late hour on Friday night, and begun his work of summoning witnesses for the prosecution in the case against Judge Pearre, at an early hour yesterday morning, lie was accompanied on his visit by Gbas. Shuck, who furnished him information as to places and persons. He had a long interview with Judge Pearre, and succeeded in serving summonses up on some thirty-six witnesses. Thore are one or two to summon who live out of the city, who will be summoned during the forenoon on Monday, after which wit nesses for Judge Pearre will be taken up. Three of the female witnesses are non esl, but they will probably be presont at An napolis. Mrs. Kent was summoned yes terday. There will be about"forty wit nesses on each side. The Sergeant-at Arms lust night said that he had been in structed not to furnish for publication the names of witnesses already summoned, and expressed his regrets that he could not give the desired information. A large number of witnesses will leave hero for Annapolis Tuesday and Thursday night. There was a consultation held here last night between Judge Pearre and his friends in regard to the number of wit nesses to be summoned for the defence, and other matters which have not been made public. It is understood that the Hon. Henry W. Hoffman, William Walsh and William Bruce are the counsel on the side of the impeachers, and that William Price, Esq., of tho Daily Times, will be among the counsel on behalf of Judge Pearre. It is not thought that the Hon. S. Teakle Wallis will be engaged in the case on either side,as has been reported. ' A WOHAX'MKIIAME.

Perry, member of the Kentucky Legislature for Owen county, registered for himself and Miss Adams at Hunt's Hotel, and were given separate rooms. Early this morning Miss Adams took a train for Van Wert, Oiiio. A visit to her bedroom disclosed the fact that she had given birth to a child, which was found later in the area, having been wrapped in a sheet and dropped from the second story window. It was taken to the hos Kital, and shows no signs of its fall so ear j in life. The police immediately took steps to arrest the parties, aud Miss Adams was intercepted at- a station beyond Day ton, aud Mr. Perry in this city. He claims to have known nothing of his companion's condition or act, and says she has lived with his family since she was four years old, and was on hor way to visit friends in Van Wert. The case is exciting much interest, both on account of Mr. Perry's position, the wonderful escape of the babe from death and tho fact that its mother, who is not over sixteen, should have left the city under Buch conditions unattended.

Mu Lord duk-The measures respecting the State o( Ireland which Her Majesty s Government have seriously considered with Your Excellency, and in which they were much aided by vour advice and au thority, are now about to be submitted for royal assent and it is at length in power of the ministers to advise the Queen to recur to tho sense of her peoplo. The acts of the agitators which represented England, in stead of being a generous and aympa thiiing Jrieud, were indifferent to the dangers and sufferingsTof Ireland, have been defeated by measures at once liberal and prudent, which the Parliament al most unanimously sanctioned. During the Bix years of the present ad ministration the improvement of Ireland and the contempt of our fellow-countiy mon of that island have much occupied the care of the itiniatry, and they remem-' ber with satiafaction that on this point they have solved one of the moBt difficult problems connected with its government and people by establishing a ayatem of public education, open to all classes and all creeds. Nevertheless a-danger in its ultimate results, scarcely less disastrous than pestileuce or famine, and which now engages your Excellency's anxious atten tion, diBtracts that country. A portion of the population is attempting to sever the constitutional tie which unites Great Britain in that bond which has favored the power and prosperity of both. It is to be hoped that all men of light and leading will resist this destructive doctrine. The strength of thin nation depends on a unity of feeling, which should pervade the United Kingdom and its widespread dependencies. ? ? , , . . The first duty of the English ministry should be to consolidate the co-operation which renders a community educated as our own in an equal love of liberty and law, and yet there are some who chal lenge the expediency of the imperial char acter of this realm. Having attempted and failed to enfeeble the colonies by | their policy of decomposition they may perhaps now recognize the disintegration i of tho United Kingdom, which will not only accomplish but precipitate their pur ^ The immediate dissolution of Parlia ment will afford an opportunity to the nation to decide on a course which will i materially inlluence in its future for i tunes and shape its destiny. Rarely in this country has there been an occasion | more critical. The power of England and i the peace of Europe will largely depend on the verdict of the country. .. Her Majesty's present ministers have hitherto beon enabled to secure that peace so necessary to the welfare of all civilized countries and so peculiarly of interest to our own, but this ineffable blessing can not be obtained by the passive principle of non-interference. Peace resUj wltb the presence not to say ascendancy ot i England in tho councils of Europe. Even at this moment the doubt, supposed to be inseparable from popular election, i if it does not diminish to a certainty, ar rests her influence, and it is the main rea son for not delaying the appeal to the na tional voice. Whatever may be its con sequences to Her Majesty's present advi sers, may it return to Westminster a Par liament not unworthy of the power ol ?England and resolved to maintain it. I have the honor to be, my Lord Duke, your faithful servant. ' Bbaconsfield. ENGLABTD. London, March 9.?The announcement of the dissolution of Parliament In the House of Commons yesterday was a com plete surprise. Ab soon as the decision was made known there was a grand rush for the telegraph office, in the central lobby of the house, and in a few seconds the lit* tie angular office was filled, and ministers, ex-ministers and other members flowed from the House to find that the only means of communicating at once with their friends in the country were cut off by the sturdy crowd of earlier comers, who had the telegraph office and its precincts en tirel/in their possession. It was not un til close on to 9 o'clock that the strain on the telegraph clerks was removed. By this time nearly 050 messages had been dis patched. There has been no such pres sure since the night that Lords Derby and Carnarvon resigned. Sir Stafford Northcote's address to the electors of North Devon will be issued im mediately in the form of a manifesto as to the policy of the Government Lord Hartington and Gladstone will issue formal manifestos to Northeast Lan cashire and Midlothian, respectively. Asheton Cross' address to the electors of Southwest Lancashire is expected to be of the character of a manifesto. The addresses of John Bright and Win. E. Foster will be exceedingly brief. William Shaw, the head of the Home Rulers, will at once proceed to Dublin, where a conference will be held and a manifesto issued. The first public speech of the Minister will be made on the occasion of the Southwark conservative banquet to Ed ward Ciarke, the newly elected member, on the 10th inst. The Liberal leaders meet to-day. Writs will be issued on the 24th, and it is be lieved that many elections will be over by the first week in April. HELIKOFF MAKE* A MK.NNATIO.V. St. Petbbsdubq, March 0.?Gen Meli koff has paid a domiciliary visit to the Grand Duke Constantino's house. Such action was entirely unexpected, though some suspicion had been excited of the puke's connection with the Nihiltst pro , pnganda, and the announcement that the i visit was made has caused a very lively sensation among the upper classes ? throughout the whole country. Farelffn Grain Market. Losdon. March 0.?The Mark Lane Ex , press, in its review of the British gnun trade > for the past week, says : [ The weather has been stasonable, a ooqi 1 siderablearea of snring grain has been lowr 3 wyly, ami a favorable seed time soems likelj 3 to be secured. Autumn sown wheat pres jnti - a generally satisfactory appearance, as also d< 3 the pastures. The offerings of bome-growi 3 wheat at the country markets were generally 3 scanty, farmers having been ocouided witl e Held work. The demand for tine Wheat foj sowing lias Recently been pretty active in th , provinces, but in London the reserve showi ? t>y millers restricted sales. Last week's open , ingprioea were hareljr maintained. Ue ai h rivals of English wheat In Mark Lane bar s been moderate, and the condition not raucl Improved* The Imports of foreign, howevet were fairly liberal. The opinions relative the course of prices in the immediate fntu are pretty equally divided, the chief Inter? centering on America. Business has l>e< small, and though wheat was only quoted ai pence cheaper than last Monday, a greater r auction has since been necessary to effect sal of any quantity. The depression was caust by the abstention of millers rather than by tl presure of foreign supplies. Maize, in coi sequence of scarcity, fairly maintained an at vance, but the future course of prices depeni upon the magnitude?f American shipment The arrivals at ports of call havo been smal buyers holding off In expection of a bett< selection from the fleet now due, but owing t the extreme firmness of holdors full pnci were paid whero sales occurred. The few ai rivals of maize were very quickly sold i 28s 3d. Very little business was done in whei for arrival Deipite the moreaccommodatin disposition of American holders, Australia pretty freely offered at reasonable prices, ws Maize was in very small demand and ur altered in price. The sales of English wbes last week were 29,530 quarters at 44s 7d pe quarter, against 44,491 quarters at 39s Id pe quarter the corresponding week of last year The imports of wheat into the United King dom during the week ending February 2 were 776,134 cwt. of wheat and 147,670 cwt. o flour. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Tub Tblbfhonk.?A resolution was in troduced in Council last night looking tc the establishment of a telephone .in thi* city, bat with its usual foresight it was re ferred. This is the second time that thi* thing has been done in Council, when the prospect of a great convenience was very good, and the facilities at hand. Wheel ing has no water works, no streets, no alarm telegraph, no anything, and steadily refuses all overtures made by enterprise to secure her a few modern conveniences. We had a long talk with Capt David, of Pittsburgh, a day or two ago In regard to the cost of the telephone to subscribers, and he told uh that it could be bo arranged that it would fall lightly upon them. The resolution of last night introduced by Mr. Simpson,which, had it passed, would have been a long step toward the acquisition of this convenience. TiikJubilkk 8inokus at Elm Gbovb.? One of the larMst audiences that evf r as* sembled in the Stone Church gatnered there Monday evening to hear the Jubilee Singers. The country folks turned out en masse and everv one was highly pleased with the melodies, moBt of which were sung by request. Manager Gatewood made a little address, thanking the audi ence for their hearty attention, and at tributing the large attendance id the fact that concert baa been under.the sole management of Mrs. Jane Hull. The net Sroceeda of the evening were abont thirty ve dollars, which will be devoted to the use of the Sabbath school.
