The eight mem bers of the crew of the ship Lennie, who are charged with mutiny and murder on that vesael, were arraigned to-day and pleaded not guilty. The trial is now progressing. In the House of Commons to-mor row, Mr Gourley, Liberal, will ask At torney General Halter, if the United States has protested against the action of the British Government, concerning Winslow, and if so whether America's demands are in harmony with or con trary to the treaties of 1842 and 1870. He will also question the Attorney General as to what course he will ad vise the government to adopt for the purpose of changing or altering exist ing treaties. Mr Puleston, Conserya tive from Davenport, will ask to-morrow for the papers on the same sub ject. A special dispatch to the Daily Stan dard, from Alexandria, says the court of appeals has adjudged that the Daira property, which is the Khedive's pri vate estate, is liable to taxation. The same dispatch states that Mr Rivers Wilson, returns to England but does not give any reason therefor. If this statement be correct, the cause is uns doubted ly the acceptance by Egypt of the French financial scheme, against some details of which it has been pre viously reported that Mr "Wilson pro tested. The race for two thousand guineas took place at New Market to-day, and was won by Petrach, Julius Ceejar coming in second, and Kaleidoscope third. WASHINGTON. Bequest a Recall Got.

The Naval Committee, by letter to Secre tary RobesoD, request the immediate recall of Paymaster Bradford, who has been purchasing agent at London. lbe. Committee desire to examine Bradford, There is evidence before the Committee regarding Bradford. which makes it improper that he should continue in position. Con tractor Matthews, who paid $140,000 to the catteU for influence at the Navy Department, did so at Bradford's sug gestion. Gov. Uenry A Wise, of Virginia, ap peared before the Elections Commit tee of the House to-day, in behalf of Platte in Platte vs. Goode. The Gov eruor is pale and thin, and required a little assistance up and down stairs, but retains his positive manner of statement, dictatorial assertion and erect figure. His appearance bad been announced and attracted mmy of his friends to the committee room. He continues his argument to-morrow. In the Committee on the Pacific Railroad, Thockmorton amended the bill extending the time for the com pletion of the Texas Pacific Railroad to require the construction of 50 miles Eastward per year. No definite action was taken. Blackburn, of Kentucky, is address ing the House on LeMoyne vs.Farwell. Davenport is explaining and identify ing his vouchers. Morton will make his personal explanation in the Senate to-day. His friends claim that the best of them could not have done him a greater service than has been done by giving him this opportunity of ven tilating his war record, and of irrita ting old sores. His accounts show no personal rascality, and the illegal use of money in the emergency, it is claimed, will be approved by the Northern people. INDIANA. Democratic Victory in Indianapolis. Indianapolis, May 3. The Demo crats carried the city by 4,000 votes for Mayor, and elect 11 of 13 Councilmen. After minor disturbances during the day, a serious fight occurred, lasting 20 minutes.

A Court of Claims Decision Belknap Indicted Suit Against Bondsmen Davenport Can't Particularize Schenck's Case Still Under Investi gation Money for Lo Morton's Explanation, &c, &c. Washington, D. C, May 3. In the Alabama Claims Court, Cad wallader D C Rind, executor of John J Kelly vs. the United States, for one sixteenth of the bark Lamplighter, eight thousand dollars: Ex-Gov. Wells for the claim ant showed that Kelly was born in New York, but during the rebellion had lived in Savannah, Ga. Had not served in the rebellion by reason of a medical certificate of inability, butwhat sympathy he had was for the rebel lion, and was twice pardoned, and ar- gured that he now stands and is to be considered in law as if he had borne true alligiance to the United States, wherefore he can aver in legal intent- ment that he has at all times borne true alligiance to the United States. General Creswell for the government, held that the allegation of the allegiance to the rebellion and the necessary proof in support thereof, were jurisdictional facts, without which no claim could be admitted or allowed by the Court. He based this upon the 12th section of the act. The opin ion of the Court generally sustains the positionjtaken by Gen Creswell, and dismissed the case. The Grand Jury found an indictment against Secretary Belknap. To-day the District Attorney entered a suit lor tne united btates ajainst Albert G Mackey, D B French and Talliaferro PShaffner, for $50,000. The amount of the bond of Mackey, as Collector of the District of Charleston, S C, dated June 5th, 1865 ; also against Mackey with Thos C Wagner and Geo W Clark on the bond of Mackey, dated April 1S66, as Collector of Charleston. Davenport was unable to specify how he had spent the money. He had received it from Williams, but had vouchers for the entire amount he had received from him and other branches of the government. Committee on Foreign Affairs: Lyons' testimony has been corroborat ed in some respects by a document re ceived from Europe, and it is also shown that the memory of Park and Schenck has been a little faulty. Bell was recalled. He said he saw the orig inal letter of resignation of Gen. Schenck as a director of Emma line ; at least it so porported to be. There was no reference in it to the mine or the shares ; it only said he resigned the directorship because he did not want to give his political enemies an opportunity to criticize his conduct. Park said to witness; "I don't like this letter, and lam going to have a better one from Schenck." The im pression of the witness was that Park wrote the letter of resignation, and Schenck copied it from Park's manu script. He saw the second letter two days afterward. He said he had told Park and Schenck repeatedly that this thing would end in a national calami ty. He read two articles from the Mining Journal "bulling the Emma Mine." Park said he had paid 5,000 pounds to have each printed. Hiram E Johnson, Mr. Lyons' attorney, then took the stand and made a statement corroborating the main facts stated by Lyon Wm Hemphill Jones, Deputy First Comptroller, has put in a special de nial of the charges against him. House. Zelie, of Massachusetts, from the Committee on Indian Affairs, reported the bill authorizing the Sec retary of the Interior to pay the ex penses of the delegates from the East era band of Cherokee Indians; passed. Also, a bill authorizing the Eastern band of North Carolina Cherokee In dians to institute suits and provide for the purchase of lands; referred. Hart ri dge, of Georgia, introduced a bill to provide for the settlement with certain railway companies in the Southern States; referred. A resolution seating LeMoine, De mocrat, of Illinois, was adopted. The House went into' Committee of the Whole on the Post Offics Ap- nronnation. ana a mgnt seeeionssyas ordered. Recess Senate. Morton sent to; iliejyeri 1pr1t and had read, a SDecialMLfiatcl from Washington, April 28tb3jhe New York World, in regard to received by him from the general gov eminent while he was Governor o Indiana, out of the appropriation of $20,000,000 to pay the expenses o transporting and delivery of arms, &c to loyal citizens in the States in rebel lion. In opening 1 his explanation Morton said: "The President of the United States, in the ' Spring of 1863 advanced to me $250,000 to enable me to carry forward military operations in the State of Indiana. Of this sum expended $133,302.91 in the service of the State, and which I charged the State in my settlement with it, and the remaining $116,697,09 were not ex pended. This amount I returned to the Treasury of the United States, as is shown by the following voucher and receipt: ' "Treasury Department, April 11, 1865. Sir: Yours of the 6th inst.. enclos ing a duplicate certificate of deposit issued by the First National Bank of ndianapohs in your favor, No. 360, date of the 4th, for $116,677.07, on ac count of moneys due and refunded to the United States, has been received. 1 am very respectfully, Geo. Harrington, Asst. Secy. To the Hon 0 P Morton, Indianapolis, ma. "The $133,302.91 which I had ex pended on behalf of the State, were paid back to the government by giv ing government credit for that amount upon advances which had been made by the State in the conduct of the war, which advaaces were duly audited by the Treasury Department and allowed as just and valid claims against the government in favor of the State." He reviews the political and military situation in 1862. Extract: "After a careful review of the situa tion by the President, Mr Lincoln, and the Secretary of War, Mr Stanton, the resident advanced me the sum of $250,000. They both agreed that In diana was threatened with rebellion, and that the condition of the State came directly within the letter and spirit of the act of Congress, appeared uly 3d, 1861. Mr Stanton declared to the President with great emphasis, that if Indiana lost her position as a oyal State, the final success of the Government in suppressing the re bellion, would be endangered and that the government must be sustained at whatever. cost or hazard." McDonald, of Indiana, said that at some future time, with the permission of the Senate, he would have some thing to say of the political history of ndiana. He had nothing to say of his collegue vindicating his own character, but differed very widely from him as to the political history of the State. Morton said he desired to exculpate his colleague (McDonald) from any complicity in the conspiracy to which he (Morton) referred. The Japanese indemnity was discus sed to adjournment.
