It is I openly stated by prominent friends ofj Governor Warmouth, that upon the! j assembling of the Legislature he will cause the ejectment of Speaker Carter, 1 j on the ground that Carter was never legally elected a member of the House. i It is also stated that the Governor, in! order to carry out his intentions, will j call to his assistance the Metropolitan police, in it* special characterfof Gov I ernor's body euard. On the other I hand, Carter affirms that he cannot be deposed, by a vote of a bare majority, but claims that there is a constitutional provision which secures him firmly in i his seat, unless two-thirds of the mem bers, after a fair and impartial trial,. shall declare him ousted. On these I grounds he will fight the Governor. Should violence be used, Carter, will j call for, and doubtless receive assistance from the United States army. Every preparation has been made to meet the issue squarelv. Carter is a Grant Re* publican, and opposed to the War mouth Republican faction. cnciiiiTi. Steamer J. H. Croaalcj mm* Snaff.

Meeting at Cooper Institute. New York, December 19. A public meeting was held at Cooper Institute last evening to consider the bearing of the treaty of Washington on the peace and well-being of the nations, and espe cially on the working classes, through out the civilized land. Addresses were maJe by Chancellor Howard Crosby, presiding the Rev. J. B. Miles, of Bos ton, and others. Resolutions were aleo adopted approving of the treaty and expressing the hope that a similar mode to settle disputed questions would be adopted in the future by all nations of the earth. The Stolen Bond*. No clue has yet been obtained by the detectives a9 to the persons who stole the $50,000 in United States bonds from R. M. Blachford on Saturday. The Tammany Leader*. The attention of the citizens of New York is at present united upon the Grand Jury. It is felt everywhere that the first indictment against Tweed was only the first move in a long series of attacks against the Tammany leaders. Yesterday afternoon the Grand Jury handed in two indictments, for which Recorder Hackett made out two bench warrants. These were handed over to Sheriff Brennan, but have not yet been served. The Court of General Sessions was crowded yesterday by persons anx ious to find out against whom the indict ments were made. As far as can be ascertained, it is understood that Tweed and Connolly will move to quash the indictments found against them as illegal. A provision of the law of loiU says: No action shall originate with the Grand Jury of the inferior court of General Sessions while the Grand Jury of the higher Court of Oyer and Terminer is sitting." The indictments against Connolly and Tweed were found under precisely these circumstances. Mr. O' Conor, Prosecuting Attorney, has declared this provision of the law to be merelv technical, which could not hold good 'before the jury, and has advised the Grand Jury to continue their inves tigations without reference to this clause of the law. Billiard Exhibition. A most brilliant and extraordinary* billiard exhibition was the event yes 1 terday afternoon, at Dion s billiard room, No. 243 BroaJ?ay. The attend ance numbered several hundred, among which were many billiardists. Several brilliant games were played ending with a match between Dion and Mau rice Dailev, which was tbe crowning match of the day. It was an American four ball game, 750 points. Dailey won, and made the remarkable average of 150. The score was as 'o"?*8 Dailey? 62, 55, 99, 99, 291, total, 7o0. Dion 93, 117, 30, 0; total, 240. The game occupied thirty-four minutes. Marriage of Olive Logan. At 11 A. M. today Olive Lagan, dressed in a brown silk walking dress, was married to Wirt Sykes in the parlor of No 50 Ninth street. Rev. Colbert Cullier, of Chicago, performed the cer emony. No reception took p ace until the afternoon when the bride left lor Warwick, New York, where she will lecture to-night. No Arre?tO'et Hade. No arrests have been made on the indictments found yesterday by the Grand Jury. It is positively asserted, however, that there is another charge against Tweed and one against Police Commissioner Henry Smith allee^ Tammany Republican, and Jamei M. Sweeney, secretary. The Territories. The following is the Tribune s special, dated Washington, December 18: The nine Territorial delegate in the House have formed themselve into a coomit tee and hold regular meeting, at which they consider all bills introduced in either house of Congress aiTordiig in terest to their constituents.

Allen ?fc Co. tor car.-ying the over land mail $21,543, and m?vtd its imme diate consideration, but Mr. Elmunds, objected and it went over, Mr. Morrili, o!' Vermont, reported the Hflibse bill approprijiti ng $4,(>J0,000 for the construction of public buildings at Chicago, and aske.l it." immediate con sideration Mr. Chandler thought the appropria tion a very large one and would like to have its necessity thoroughly demon strated. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, said the committee were satisfied that it was ireceasary^ in order to erect first class buildings. Mr. Carpenter said he had received letters from friends in Chicago com plaining that there was a movement on foot to change the location of the Gov ernment buildings there, and that this bill would favor that design by leaving the location of the buildings optional with the Secretary of the Treasury. After some further debate between Meeerp. Trumbull aud Logan the bill was passed. Mr. Stewart introduced a joint resolu tion proposing a Sixteenth amendment to the Constitution, providing for the es tablishment in each State and territory of a system of free common schools; prohibiting the United States or any State or territory from giving aid to Bectarian schools, and giving Congress the right to enforce it bv appropriate legislation. Referred to J udiciary com mittee. Mr. Sumner gave notice that he would at an early day, propose an amendment to the Constitution, providing that no person who has once held the office of President shall be eligible for a second Mr. Schurz offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the President for information as to present relations of the United States with Spain and the treatment of American citizens in Cuba. Mr. Chandler, of Michigan, moved that the committee on Commerce in ?uire into the telegraph system of the United States. He said the whole com merce of the country was now forced to pay the interest on watered telegraph stock. He strongly denounced the Associated Press monopoly, which he asserted virtually controlled the tele graph. No action was taken on the motion. Corbett introduced a resolution,* hicn was passed, directing the committee on Retrenchment to inquiie into the recent defalcations in the Treasury Depart ment. Mr. Conkling called up his resolution directing the committee to inquire into the charges made by Mr. Schurz, in relation to frauds in the custom hou-e in New York. Mr. Conkling offered an amendment extending the inquiry, which Mr. Conkling accepted. Mr. Tipton offered an amendment extend ng the inquiry ,?which Mr. Conkling accepted. Mr. Tipton offered an amendment directing the committee to inquire whether the custom houje officers had interfered with the two last Republican State Conventions in New York, and Mr. P.avard offered an amendment directing" the committee to inquire whether the officers of the custom house have been or are used a- instruments of party patro.ia^e. Mr. C inkling accpte both amend ments and the resolution as amended was then raised to none. Mr. Conkling resolution directing an investigation into the Hodge case was then taken up, when Sherman moved to amend so as to embrace the ewe of the bank examiners, an 1 Mr. Conkling accepted the amendment. Mr. Trumbull propose! to withdraw his amendment, offered some days ago, which j:nve rise to debate. A communication was received trom the President transmitting the report of the Civil Service Commissioners and recommending certain legislation on the part of Congress. The papers were laid upon the' table, after con-iderable discussion. Mr. Trumbull's amendment to Mr. Conkiing's resolution of inquiry into the Hodge defalcation matter was with drawn arid the resolution was adopted. On motion of Mr. Blair, of Missouri, the committee dn investigation and re trenchment were directed to inquire whether any United States Minister was connected with any mining corporations and if so whether such is compatible with his obligations to the Government. The resolution^ Reported from the Ku-Klux committee, ordering the arrest of Messrs. Saunder*. Campbell and Gist we bill for the appointment of a committee on the subject of wages and hours of labor and of the division of profits be tween labor and capital in the United States. Mr. Pierce, Chairman of the com mittee on Education and Labor, from which the bill was reported, endeavored to effect some arrangement as to debate. Mr. Dawes suggested that the debate shall be fixed for Thursday next, which day had already been set apart lor general discussion. Mr. Farnsworth objected to expres sions used by Mr. Pierce, such as 'this side of the House," and "that side of the House," as if the House was divided into party ranks on the subject. Several Democratic members ex- j pressed the desire of having a full op portunity to discuss the qeuation. Finally, Mr. Pierce gave notice that he would give the previous question at one o'clock to-morrow. He was not prepared to say that any legislation was necessary on the labor question, neither was he prepared to deny that great and general legislation was required on the subject. He was convinced, however, that the investigation as proposed would do good. He denied that there was any partisanship in the question. He should have thought that the Demo crats in the House would be the last to J object to the proposed investigation. Some gentlemen seemed to think that the bill wa3 intended for the purpose of supporting socialistic movements and was in the interest of the International Society, labor societies trades' unions and strikes. There was no evidence in the bill, however, that such j a desire existed, and he denied that ere was such an intention on the part of its author. He represented a labor ing constituency of agricultural laborers and it was in their intere'tthat he ad vocated the passage of the bill. lie advocated it in the interest of the laboring claiees of the South. The war had created great gaps iu Southern in dustry, and millions of acres of land were lying idle for want of labor. Down the Mississippi river there were ot.e hundered acres of virgin forest land for every acre of cultivated land. He wanted to attract emigrants to that region. Mr. Pierce's time having expire 1, Mr. Campbell suggested a substitute for the bill, providing for the appointment of a joint committee to investigate the subject of wages and hours of labor, and the effect of existing laws regu lating commerce, finance and currency. The Speaker ruled that the proprsi tion was not in order. Mr. Sturm, a member of the commit tee on Education and Labor, advocated the pas-age of the bill. He admitted that it wa9 impossible for Congress to make laws interfering with contracts between labor and capital, but an in vestigation of the subject would prob ably disclose a state of facts which would create a public sentiment that would be a correction of many abuses which the laboring classes now com plained of. On that score, he was in favor of investigation. For himself he needed no information on the subject. The evils of which the industrial classes complain are patent 10 everybody. They were as clear as the noondav sun. An I inve-tigation would show that j 0o0,(?J of property belonging to capital ists was exempt from taxation, and I other interests were taxed to make up the deficiency. It was shown that $21, 000, 000 wa? paid annnally out of the treasury to banking associations as a mere bounty and gratuity. It wis shown that tee poor man now paid uj-on I his salt a tax of loo per cent, on his cutlery over 5"> per cent, on his clothing over 03 per cent and on bis spade and I shovel over 45 per cent; while the ricu man paid upon his jewelry, diamonds, laces, gold rings, paintings and statuary a tax not exceeding 10 per cent. To j adjust the wrongs of the lal-oring men Congress would have to repeal evf rv pet financial scheme of the party in power. Was not the national bank scheme theirs? Was not the exemp tion of the bonded debt from taxation j theirs Was not the present system of tariff theirs? When these were re pealed the Republican party would be repealed and dissolved. The only obsta cle in this country to the interests of the masees was the interests of the Repub lican party, and when it was removed 1 a better order of things would reign. Mr. Cox, of Xew York, submitted an additional provision, declaring that the committee shall be appointed irrespect ive of political or partisan considera tions and shall be selected from civil life. He made a brief speech showicg the partisan character and intent of the bill. The International organizations themselves denounced it Mr. Kerr, of Indiana, followed in op position to the bill. He considered it an attempt to make cheap political cap ital. It was not honest in intent and would remit in no good lo the laboring man. It was impracticable and assumed r nn warrantable and extraordinary pow I ert on the part of Congnm. Mr. Wood, of New York, denounced the mode of the gentleman offering the bill, and declaring it a contemptible and futile effort to array the ;Democrats against the laboring meD. Mr. Slocum, of New York, thought the investigation should be conducted by men identified with the labor move ment, naming Horace Day and some others, and offered an amendment to that effect. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President transmit ting the report of the Civil Service Com mission, together with the opinion of the Attorney General on the law points involved. The message states that the rules prescribed for the reform of the civil service by the commission will be adopted and put in force by the Presi dent January 1, 1S72. He asks for all the strength Congress can give him be fore the holidays reoes*. and recom mends a pr-p* ftrni'r.iiin, ?,ion' ttnue the present I>oaTn ers for another year. The message and accompanying documents were referred to a special committee on Civil Service, and 20,000 cop:ee we-e ordered to be printed. The debote was then resumed upon the labor and capital investigating bill, Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, opposing and Messrs. Kelly and Town?end favoring, and a wi le diversity of opinion was developed. The bill was laid aside, an J Mr. Oar field, of Ohio, reported a bill, which was passed, appropriating $27,S00 to supply the deficit in the expenses of the joint Ku-Klux committee. He stated that the total expen?e?, exclusive of printing, amounts to 160,000. Mr. McKte, of Kentucky, a^ked leave to put on its passage the bill re lating to certain persons in Mississippi from political disability. Mr. Fox objected, utiles* he might amend it by a iding a proviso tor a gen eral amnesty. At four o'clock the IIuu?e adjourned. GEORGIA. 1 ho Klcrtion. M ac os, December 10.
