NEW YORK, April 1. – Herald’s Special states that
resolutions are soon to be introduced in the Senate, asking the Secretary of
State for a report upon the reciprocity and fishery treaties with Great
Britain, and also asking for statistical information respecting the imports and
exports and details since the treaty went into operation, and the amount of
trade between this country and the colonies, so that Congress may have the information
necessary to take proper action upon the tax bill, as well as to determine upon
the proposed action regarding the treaty.
Col. D. Ultasen, of the Garibaldi Guard, was put under
arrest by order of Gen. Sumner last Saturday, charged with neglect of duty, in
permitting his regiment to plunder the residents in the neighborhood of his
camp.
(Times’ special.)
It is ascertained, on examination, that Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, Fox, as soon as it was known that the Nashville had run in at
Beaufort, N. C., telegraphed to every gunboat of the Navy that was employed to
proceed forthwith to that port to prevent her escape. – All urgency was
expressed in his dispatch, but by a run of ill luck not one reached her
destination in time to do any good.
The prospect is excellent for the passage of the bill for
the completion of the Stevens’ battery.
The amendment of The Senate referring the matter to the judgment of the
Secretary of the Navy was merely meant as a respect to that Department; it not
being contemplated that the Secretary would veto a bill deemed to
important. The Secretary prefers not to
have the responsibility impliedly placed on him by the language of the bill,
and it is probably that he will request the amendment referring the matter to
him stricken out. The department are anxious
to have everything in the way of improvement of iron-clad ships fully tested.
