On going"' into Executive, sossion this afternoon, tho Sen-at- o resumed tho consideration of tho San Domingo treaty. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, concluded his speech against tho ratification, whon tho Senate proceeded to rolo on the amend- ments proposed by the President of tho United States, some of which wore adop- ted. A vote was then taken on tho ratifi- cation of the treaty, and resulted, yeas , against 28 nays. A two-thir- voto boing required, the treaty was rejected. Mem- bers of tho Sonate woro paired and others absent. The opponents of the monsnro say they could have rejected it without the aid of Democrats. Taxes AVhlKky. Tho custom receipts lost week wero 3,0C1,05S; receipts for internal revenue for January, ; ior fiscal year, $183,702,374.

It is said that the rejection of the San Domingo treaty don't dispose of the pro- tocol for the leaf e of the Bay of Samana, although if the treaty had been ratified, the Sainana question would have been ab- sorbed by it. The project of annexation of Dominica by joint resolution, docs not Boom to be regarded of sufficient force to secure a majority in tho. House. President's Cadets at Large Net Aside. Five of the cadets at large, appointed by the President last year, to enter West Point the first of July, have been set aside by the Board of Examiners as incompetent end will not bo admitted. Amnesty. An effort is to be made, at the next meeting of tho Reconstruction Committee, to frame some kind of an amnesty bill which will be acceptable to tho Republican members. It will be somewhat more liberal than the bill of (ion. Butlbr, which the committee have postponed till December. Should the temper of the House be against a general bill, however, it is proposed to pass tho bill now pending in tho Senate, which includes over Bix thousand names, and to add to it quite a largo ntimbor in the House. The policy which the Bcpub-can- s intimate they will pursue in this par- ticular is to place tho name of overy person in the bill for amnesty who has applied by letter or petition for the same. Therefore, if a general bill fails, as is now very proba- ble, all that will be done will be the pass- age of a special act of relief. The fact that the President is against general amnesty, taken together with tho fall elections in the South, influences Congress very materi- ally. A Slmuielcs Squabble Over the Dcail Tho bills for the funeral of Secretaries Stanton and Bawlins having boen paid by the disbursing officers of the department, under tho orders of tho Secretary, have been rejected by the Second Comptroller, for the want of an appropriation. Applica- tion is, therefore, to be made to Congress, to provide for their payment. Some of tho charges are enormous even for Washing- ton. The carriages for mourners are charged at three hundred dollars each, while the number of white gloves charged i3 very large. The bill for the burial of Socrotary Bawlins is about four thousand dollars; that of Mr. Stanton twelvo hun- dred. Treasury Robber Captured I'art ol the Money Recovered.

A short time since a memorial was pre- sented to the Senato asking the Govern- ment ior the release of Madamo Jaracha, a grand nioco of Gen. Pulaski, and hor hus- band, who wero banished to Siberia for participating in tho Polish movement of 1803. Tho request was communicated to our minister at St. Petersburg, who, in ro- - Ely, informs the State Department that it boen granted on tho condition that they leave for the TJnitod States. Tlic Indians. Tho Government anticipates moro trou- ble from the Comanche Indians on tho l)orders of Texas, who are conibinod with several hostile tribes of tho Indian terri- tory, in raiding upon white settlers. They havo already gone upon tho war path, and reports of outrages and murders by them are not of nnfrequont occurrence. Thoro is a wide difference botwoon army officials and Quaker Indian ngents regarding tho permanency of peacoable relations. The former are satisfied that wo have, by tho ,recont feasting of Bed Cloud and his poo-- pic, by no means averted a general Indian war. The fall campaign. Tho Bopublican Congressional Commit- tee have fully organized for tho fall cam- paign by elocting Congressman Piatt, of Virginia, Secretary. Nearly ten thousand dollars havo been subscribed already.

Ho argued in favor of the amendment. Mr. bargeant opposed it as ostablishinEf a most dangerous and costly procodont, which would apply to all soldiers and pensioners and other creditors of tho Government. On count by tellers there wore but 21 veas. No further count. Mr. asked for a separate vote on the amendments, on which the Committee of Appropriations recommended making laroe appropriations un der the Indian treaties of 18G7 and 18G8, which treaties the Fortieth Concress had refused to ratify. Ha said there woro fif- teen or twenty of these amendments ascro. gating a million and five hundred thousand dallars, and he wished to havo a vote of tho House on them, as instructions to tho Committee of Conference, to whioh the bill bo referred.

Ho represented tho movement as a speculative one to secure tne iarms ol those mission Indians. Mr. Sargeant endorsed the remarks of his colleague. The benato amendment was not concur red in. Mr. Degenier asked a separata voto on tho amendment, in which tho Committee on Appropriations recommended concur- rence, forbidding deductions from Indian annuities on account of depredations. Ho lied against the amendment, taking ground that the principle thus abrogated was correct, and tho only common sense way of dealing with Indian depredations. Mr. Wilkinson argued in tho same di rection. Mr. Sargent argued in support of the amendment, contending tho existence of such a system stimulated tho getting up of claims for Indian depredations, and illus- trating by citing the case of a Texas grazoi, who not finding a good market for cattle, drove them through the Indian country. tempting tho Indians to drive them off, and thon came to Washington and made claim before tho Indian Department.

Ho oxprsssed the opinion that tho Government should offer a four per cent loan at par. Mr Blair moved to amond tho 1st section by inserting tho words "The amount of in- terest in each coupon shall bo expressed in dollars, and tho equivalent thereof in Eng- lish sterling and tho currency in France." Mr Davis, of New York, moved to amend tho amendment by adding the proviso that the Sgerelary of tho Treasury shall have powo'r'in his discretion to mako the inter- est on coupons on part ot the bond3 not exceeding tfjaihundred million, payable in any forcign'country he may deem advisa- ble. Murmurs of disapproval Mr. Blair advocated his proposition, showing the advantage resulting from it, from inducing foreign investment. Mr. Wood opposed the bill, because he sawii it danger, disturbing injuriously the business interests and stability of trade, without effecting tho negotiation cs pro- posed by the rate, and for other reasons. Mr. Butler, of Mass., opposed Mr. Blair's amendment. He did not desire bonds to be sold abroad, or to offer induce- ments for such a thing. Mr. Brooks, of N. Y., advocated the bill in the belief that the loan would be effect- ed at a reduced rate. Mr. Kelley opposed Mr. Blair's amend- ment as unbecoming in a great nation. Mr. Judd argued that tho amendment was .unnecessary, as bondholders purchas-- . ed through brokers thoroughly, familiar, with tho value of an American dollar. Mr. Schenck. took the same ground, and remarked ,that the general rate of interest paid by the peoplo would fall when tho government reduced its rate.

Mar-bur- y, President of the McMinnville and Manchester Railroad Company, Commer- cial Hotel, Nashville, Tennessee, Dear Sir : I deem it proper as' a member of the special committeo on the investigation of railroads, and one who had it cspccial-ly-i- n charge to investigate the IIcMinn-vill- e and. Manchester railroad, to state that the committee did not intent!, in their report on this road, to impute to the President a willful misapplication, of a part of tho proceeds of the bonds appro- priated to this road, but merely that tho sum of about six thousand dollars bad been applied in a manner, though legiti- mate in the current expenses of the road, 'yet not in accordance with the law mak ing thu appropriations. I do this in order that no wrong impression may be made by this report, but that simple justice may be done to all. Yours, rcspcctfoljy.j Atha TnoMASjgjg the, cojiixg jubiciae co .

Conventions abuses. So are Legislatures and Congresses, as wo know to our sorrow. Though .ca- pable of less immediate mischief, cliques and factions in conventions arc aa corrupt- ing a3 rings and lobbies in the halls of legislation; Thero are some politicians so schooled in cliques and rinjrs that thrir conceptions rise no .higher i they mistake the excrescence for tho elephant. These ulcers on deliberative bodies, however, arc possible only when the people are themselve3 demoralized or supine. If conventions must be dropped, by reason of these abuses, wc must abolish Legislatures, declare the people incapable of representative government, and revert to some old formula of aristocratic creed. Such, indeed, seems the tendency just now in many quarters. If the people are wise, such philosophers will Tie left tn mil outside at a system they do not appre- ciate. Nominating conventions arc a patnnil growth of American soiL All our tradi- tions and all the analogies of our representa- tive government suggest consultation, by the people in convention assembled, nvpr the merits of aspirants, in order to put the best men forward. Such is the spirit of our institutions. Theattitmli of Mr. Ewing, on the other hand, recalls the English lord, who, hedged in with titles, lands and laughs in his sleeve at the machinery of popular elections, and coolly calculates to make the people fall down before him, nolens, volcns. When we consider the high qualifica- tions peculiar and we might say techn- icalrequired on the judicial bench, and the important trusts deposited with the last resort for right and justice, the need for consultation and deliberation, seems more urgent here than in nominations for other departments. The extended term under the present constitution is an ad- ditional argument. And how could we have consultation and deliberation and concert of action throughout the State unless the people meet in convention? How else keep ambitious incompetents off of the track ?

At a meeting of the Dresden Bar this day, held .for the pornoseol expressing the eense of tne legal protession here for the Supreme Judgeship, B. B. Edwards, Esq., was called to the chair, and J. L. McGIothlin requested to act as Secretary. On motion of G. II. Roulstone, Esq., the chair appointed S. B. Ayrcs, C. M. Ewing and A. M. Boyd, Esqrs., a com mittee to draft resolutions, who after re tiring returned the following which was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the Supreme Bench should ever be kept free from every ap proach ot sectional, partisan, or political feeling, and should be occupied by law- yers of the highest attainments, of the purest impartiality, and of the strictest in- tegrity, and that for the promotion of such means a convention is in the opinion of this bar, both unnecessary and impoli- tic. Resolved, That in the event a conven tion is held, however, contrary to our wishes, West Tennessee should be repre- sented therein, and that the Bar of this place be requested to appoint or provide for the appointment of delegates to represent the interests of the Bar and peo- ple of Weakley county in said Convention. Resolved, That in Hon. S. W. Coch ran, of Troy, we recognize a true and upright man, a lawyer of undoubted ability and learning, and a worthy candi date for the Supreme Bench, and earnestly recommend him for that position to the Bar and people throughout the State. On motion, B. B. Edwards, Charles M. Ewing and J. L. McGIothlin were ap pointed delegates m accordance with the provisions in second resolution. On motion the riashville Union and American, Republican Banner and Union City papers be requested to pub- lish the proceedings of this meeting. The meeting then adjourned sine die. B. B. Edwards, Prcs't. J. L. McGlotplin, Sec'ty. COAL, OH, AS A HAIR. KESi'OUA- - TIVE. From tho Cirrollton (ill3.) Conservative. We had heard it stated several times that Mr. Sam. Bryan, who, heretofore. had been barefaced on .the top of his head, had, by the use of coal oil, grown a thick coating ot hair on the aforesaid bsld head. Wc saw Mr. B. on Monday last, and upon examination found the state- ment to be correct Mr. Bryan infotmed us that the way he found out this new property of coal oil was simply this: He had a large boil on the bald place on his head which gave him much pain, and in the absence of anything else, he rubbed coal oil on it. He says it relieved the pain almost instant so" he continued to. rub on the oil unt'd the boil waa entirely well, when, to his Surprise, he found a thin coaling of hair coming out over the bald place. He continued the use of the oil for a month or two, and now has a heavy coat of hatron his head. This 13 no humbug, but the simple truth, and we advise our bald-head- friends to try the experiment. GUllBRNATORIAI, ASPIRANTS. From tho Memphis Son. Gen. Quarles, Gen. Brown, Gen. Bate, and perhaps other distinguished citizens of the State, arc prospecting in reference to the Gubernatorial nomination next No- vember. These are all worthy citizens, and arc doubtless eminently fitted for the position to which they would aspire. We have but one objection to them, and that applies equally to all of them. They are all from Middle Tennessee. "We have just as good men for Governor in West Tennessee as are to be found in other portions of the State, and other things be- ing equal, we should prefer some of our citizens. But already wc see indications thatT2ast and Middle Tennessee will com- bine in this as they have in regard of other matters, and that there is little chance for any gentleman, however worthy, if he happen to hail from this end of the State. It is for that precise reason that we would now urge simple justice for West Tennessecans. We ex pect to support with all our might who ever shall be the nominee of the Demo- cratic party; but that fact shall not deter us from demanding simple justice for all Democratic aspirants' to positions from this division of the State.

Very respect fully. James Beizzolaea. After the reception of the above, the friends of the principals met, and the following cartel being presented by the challenged, was agreed to: CAMEL FOB A HOSTILE MEETING ESTWEES JAMES BEIZZOEABA AND COL. GEO. E. mX-LA- 1. lime shall be Tuesday afternoon (28th instant) at six o'clock. 2. Place shall be at Hopefield. oonosite Memphis, nearly fronting Monroe street, m saiu iucmpnis. d.

Each party shall be entitled to (12) twelve friends, besides surgeons, to be present on the field. W. F. Rogers, M. C. Gallawat. Hopefield, Ark, Juno 28, 1870, 11:30 o'clock r. m. This procotol was signed and sealed in secret, and the terms of the same were not made known to any pcr-so- ss outside of those immediately inter- ested and their immediate friends. The consequence was, any number of lying rumors, which flew about town "thick as leaves which strew the brooks in Yalam-brosa- ," in all of which rumors, however, there was a grain of truth. Mr. Phelan and his friends remained oyer in Hopefield. Mr. Brizzolara having business to. transact in the city, was com- pelled to return to town. His every mo- tion was accordingly watched, and when he started to go down to th&boat; he was followed by a large crowd, eager to.see the tragedy. It. is not our purpose here to give in de- tail a description of the various attempts to maker the fight at Hopefield, according to cartel, and the delays and interferences consequent thereon. We need, only to say that they were unsuccessful, and that tne steamer Check was at last chartered to take the entire party of belligerents where they would not be interrirpfcd by sheriffs, officers, etc., as was threatened to be the case at Hopefield. The Check, alter taking aboard, all par-- H tics interested, proceeded down to the place selected for the light an open field on the Arkansas shore, some seve u miles below the city, whither the combatants and their friends quickly repairt d. On the landing of the boat, no time "was lost in preliminaries. The word was won at the toss by CoL Dubosc,"who, we have neglected to say, had returned to town, and was requested by Air. iinzzpiara to act in the place of Col. Rogers (prevented from doing so by some cause not ex plained to tho reporters). This, of course, left the choice of positions en- tirely to CoL Gallaway, second of Mr. Phelan, who placed his principal's back to the sun. On being placed on the stand and their weapons given them, the question "Aro you ready" was asked by CoL Dubose. "Ready, was answered by iir. but Mr. Brizzolara cried out "Notrcady," and coolly putting his pistol between his knees, proceeded to turn up his shirt cuffs, which had gotten down over his hands and annoyed him. As soon as this operation was over, the call proceeded, and at the word firing began. Wc will not attempt to particularize (at the late hour at which wc write, this is impossi ble), but wc can only say, from all that we can learn, the two first shots (one each) were harmless, but that the second shot o Mr. Phelan took: effect on Air. Brizzolara, entering near the left; nipple, over the heart, and passing through a portion of the body transversely, coming out under the left arm. On receiving his wound Mr. Brizzolara fell, to the earth, and according to the terms of the cartel, firing ceased. The surgeons had the wounded man removed to the boat, and a quick trip was made to tho city. Mr. Brizzolara was immediately transported to the house of his sister, Madame Vincent, on Union street, where he was assiduously attended by his .sur geon, ur. Mitchell, who reports to U3 at writing that the wound, though, serious. and possibly dangerous, is not necessarily so, ana that witn proper care tad atten tion, and perfect quietude, Mr. Brizzolara will soon be weTL We record with, a degree ot pleasure, fvimminirlrfi with na?D. that both r.-- I balaarliccord to'eacn'otiier tfio utmost o say iuai .ui. iiuu.v.mv. ruuncu Tiimself to Be a man of nerve, coolness, and desperate bravery.

W t1f f - a. 19 A Am nsr m 1 Ut4 IIU I a B4MJ IMJ UWJU tho sanitary advantages of thia amusement and endorse her views : KASnvnxs, Juno 2S. I see it stated in your paper that our Legislators is passing a law t impose a tax on Skating Birds. just as though they were theatres. No-- , as one ol the many ladies who have bean patronizing tho nnksinco its establishment here, I take the liberty of writing to? ua and asking yoa that yon will use your in calling the attention of tta members ot thaXeetJaturo to the besUts of this now mode of exeiciso and enter- tainment for ladies. Instead of taxing such a place, I am suro that tho gentlemen in tho Legislature w old, if they knew tha benefits of such exercise, aa I do from sxy own experience and that of othor membsis of my family, feci much msxo like voting a premium or diploma to tho proprietors cf the rink. There is no one who has ever traTtlodl in the North but has heard disparaging ra- rearks made about ths appearance of Udioa of the South. We aro told that the laiLw of England and of the North art robust la appearance with rosy complexion. This is because they Uke ac'im exercise in waTt-in-g and skating. Thcluuiesof tho Koch) aro said to fee mIIo- - nud tit more- - fjo) Ja than their Northern sisters. I must con- fess that ihjio is too much truth in tbii. The ladies of tho South do not take enough exercise. I feel this myself- - But wo now havo presented to us a means of exercise which i3 sufdciently fascinating to dray us our UsUess ways and induce us to f.o our health has long since d. tninB that this amusement is not only benefit to the present generation but to prosperity. It does seam very strango to me that our L3gislature, which ought t i be doing everything to promote wtutevi r it beneficial to the health of tho women f taoiState, should turn aside to tax tka'.ii g rinks. I did not intend to say so much, but v a feel so much on the subject that I ecu J write all night about it. With smcoro respect, " " A 3Iantniot!i Serenade Ourcsteomed young friend Z.

McClure, on TJnivenut i street, A large furniture car was presac 1 into service, and about the witching hen , a number of our well known musciai i were folly equipped with their for the occasion. A Bu -- dott organ was procured, an 1 occupied a place in the rear of the car, as which Dr. Bebsy, a gentleman of fine mu- sical culture, presided. Frank Angelo wa: along with bis violin, and every body that know s Frank understands wha he can do on a fiddle. Fred Sporer an t his magical comet wero side by side wit t tho party, Matteozzi's trombone wat a fixture that could not be dispense I with, and last, but not loast Prof. Hahn was master of ceremonies. With such an array of musical talent, it i I txseletis to add that tho serenading party was comploto, with cne exception, the al senco of Tom Ii., tha spokesman ior thj evening. Ho was, however, enconntero 1 on the way, and did his part admirably. In the stillness of tho night, tho rich tone t of the organ blended harmoniously with the brass accompaniments and Angela I string orchestra, and perhaps a botte- - serenade wa3 never listened to before id this place. Young MiClure acknowledged tho surprise by his presence, and tho cvt t genial James A. threw open his doors, and entertained the visitors in the most hocp-tabl- o manner. The happiness and pros- perity of the newly married couple wn proposed on soveral occasions, and until a late hour, the reunion of the musical sr :rit-- J was of the most agreeable character. Fiuc Arts. We dropped in on tho portrait painter. Mr. Robert L. Newman, at No. 1L"JJ, Church street, yesterday afternoon. Froi.i the specimens of his handiwork, as tec i in his studio, we pronounce him an artist of the first order, and an unquestioned genius, upon whom nature has been prodi gal in the bestowal of rcmarkablo gifts. He is a' painter of tho Titian school, giving prominence to tho natural coloring an 1 broad ontiine of ms subjects. He has spe cimens ot flower wort that gives every tint and shade and form of the original. with every petal stem and leaflet fold:r. cloarly illustrated, nia portraits arc re markable for their broad naturalness. H i has a portrait of Gen. Leo, painted from an original photograph that fully embrace our ideal and the actuality of tho grand cM hero in overy outline and detail. Tho towering farm of the iron warrior stand i upon tho canvas in that hold, broad an-- commanding originality and outline char acteristic of tho man, yet conveying willi wondorfnl exactitude the benignant ex pression that so endeared him to his men. Tho portrait has been pronounced ono c f the finest ever produced of the greatc? t Captain of tho ago. The studio of Mr. Newman is well worthy of a visit. IJultcr.
