General News and Gossip. Washington, Dec 5. Judge .Hum phreys this mornincr delivered his opinion in the matter of John J Patter son, relator on habeas , corpus, to be re lieved from the warrant of arrest on the reauisition of the Governor of South Carolina, There were present, among others, senator Patterson and two of his counsel, viz : Messrs Cooke and Shellabarger, and Mr Lowndes, attorney for South Carolina. The judge's opinion was elaborate. He de nied the power of the state of south Carolina to vacate Senator Patterson's commission, which must continue un til constitutionally removed in pursu ance of organic authority. It Could not be said that Senator Patterson was a fugitive from justice, as he was here in discharge of his omcial duties, like all other members of Congress, and. besides he had acted in the capacity of Senator years before the present in dictment was brought against him in the South Carolina courts. The writ was grrauted and defendant discharged. J a .- e House Jiflections committee three reports were read, one by Cox, Republican, to refer back, one by His- cock, Kepublican, to seat Belford, and one by Springer, Democrat, to seat Patterson. The committee will vote to morrow. The majority and minority of the Senate Privileges and Elections com mittee are preparing an elaborate re port on the Eustia case, which will be presented to-morrow in elaboration of their resolution, 6 to 3, that Eustis is entitled to ma seat. The President is again quoted by a person wbo visited him yesterday, as saying that he would renew all nomi nations upon which no adverse report had been made by toe committees to executive sessions. If this determina tion holds, all will be renominated ex cept the New York custom house offi cers and banford, as minister to Bel gium. House Unimportant. lien Ord was before the Military committee to-day. His evidence ac cords with that of other officers, to the effect that two additional regiments, one of cavalry and one of infantry, are needed for the. proper protection of the border. The examination continues to- morrow. Vice President Wheeler, accompan ied by Secretary Sherman, visited the White House to-day. NIGHT DISPATCHES. The'Commissioner of the General Land Office U preparing a bill for the sale or disposal of timber and timber lands m accordance with the recom mendations of the Secretary of the In terior, and himself, in their annual re ports, which will provide lor the with drawal of all lands, chiefly valuable for timber and not suitable lor agricultural purposes, from the operations of the homestead and pre emption laws and from liability to be taken by any of the ditterent kinds oi land scrip neretoiore provided for by law. The bill will also provide for the sale of timber of certain kinds, reserving the soil, with a view to the removal of the forests. The House commenced the day by discussing whether the improvement of the rivers and 1. arbors should go to the cjmmittee on Commerce or the committee on Railroads and Canals The matter was reierrtd to the com mittee on Rules. A bill was introduced for an income tax ranging from one to five per cent, Ord stated, in his evidence belore the Military committee, that the Mexican people and authorities on the lower Rio Grande were in sympathy with the raiders into Mexico. The Democratic caucus of the House this afternoon voted to endorse and support the new Democratic journal, called the Washington Jost, which will make its appearance to-morrow morn- lug. starting with a specimen issue oi about 10,000 copies. The stall consists of Sanson Hutchins, proprietor; John A Cockrell. managing editor: A C Buell, editorial writer, and Messrs Ai ken and Marks, associates. It is con templated by the managers to adopt the plan so long practiced by certain influential newspapers, of purchasing news from outside parties, which will be a new feature in Washington jour nalism. The caucus of the Republican Sena' tors, to arrange the committees, agreed to allow the Democrats increased re presentation on all important commit tees, except those on Railroads and Privileges and Elections. The caucus placed Kellogg on the committee on Pensions, and Transportation Rates to the Seaboard and .Levees : Windom and Matthews were placed on the committee on Railroads. FKA3CJE. Still Talking of Revision of the Constitution, a New Ministry anl Conciliation. Versailles, Dec 5. Leon Renault gave notice that he would ask the min istry to explain the semi-official note which stated in substance that Presi dent MacMahon's efforts to form a con ciliatory ministry have been so far frus trated by the exorbitant demand of the Left that a congress of the two houses should be held for the revision of the constitution. M Grevy said he was onlv a member of the majority, who had been sum moned by the President, and he did not speak in the name of the Left or indicate any conditions. The affair causes much comment. Several mem bers of the Left declared after the sit ting tha" the idea of a congress, which had or Ijr been -mentioned m private conversation, had been seized upon at the Elysee as a pretext for breaking off the negotiations for a conciliation. Paris, Dec 4. Midnight. The Bu reaux of the Left of the Senate have issued a note formally denying that any Senator belonging to their section has been authorized by the Republi cans or commissioned by President MacMahon to formulate conditions for the formation of a parliamentary cabi net. The Deputies of the Lett have issued a similar declaration. Manchester, Dec 5. The Guardian's Paris special says Marshal MacMa hon 's refusal to receive the delegation of merchants on Monday has caused great irritation. A Keuter from Paris says : "It is reported to-day in parliamentary cir cles that the government contemplates proroguing the Uhamberoi .Deputies and forming a dissolution of the min istry should the Chamber not vote the budget to-morrow." London, Dec 5. A special to the Tivies from Paris, says : "All political finessiDg and ostensible negotiations which have been going on tor some days past, simply conceal a plan of campaign for the execution of which it was necessary to prepare public opin ion. This plan is no other than a fix ed idea of a second dissolution. Pre sident MacMahon summoned the Duke De Audiffret, Parquire and M Grevy and Dufaure to the Elysee, but did not enter on the question of a new cabinet with any of them. He merely spoke generally, neither side formulating any proposals. Then he saw Senator Duc- lurc, who had no mission or omcial status, and asked him what the Lefi demanded, M Duclurc, thinking to bring about a compromise, wrote a note expressing his views of what hij party might exact. Of course, like a man bargaining, he asked much in the hope of obtaining a little. Immediately the Right ULanimously cry out, You see what the Left demand, a coup d'etat against the Senate. The dishonor of the Marshal. It is impossible to come to an understanding with them.' Next day when everybody believes negotia tions are about to begin, an omcial note announces that they are broken off; that the President cannot yield to the demands of the Left and disarm himself and the Senate. . In other words advantage is taken of the in dividual, unofficial and almost con fidential act of a Senator in order to strike with ill-dieguised enthusiasm into the path of a second dissolution. The Chamber having furnished no pre text, one is sought for outside, and when it is believed to have been found, this note is issued as the first warning of the battle in which it is desired to engage. The scheme is transparent. After the overwhelming contradiction given to the note by last night's pro ceedings in the (chamber, what will the President do ? That is difficult to say. It is terrible to contemplate a dissolu tion involving an illegal collection of taxes, and it is painful to see the Mar shal hemmed in between violence and dissolution; but judging by'.the past it is to be feared his prompters will select that course which is most dreaded by the moderate men." The Troops for the Border. Chicago, Dec 5. The fourth regi ment of cavalry, from Indian Territo ry, and the twentieth regiment of . in fantry, from Dakota, are the troops ordered to Texas. These bodies ' of troops will be recruited to their full regimental strength, and will material ly strengthen the forces on the border. I-;. .M - .. r ,,.
