N» K Haven, Jan. 18.— In Knlghtf of Labor ball, in this city, yesterday afternoon was held a conference, called by B strlit Assembly Na 144, to decide what legislation ihall be sought from the present general axlembly of the organised workingmen of Connecticut. Representative J. F. Hnnie, of New Haven, preeid d. There was a.full attendance, and in the main unanimity of opinion. Among the laws pjuticul irly sought by the labor men are those raganl- Ing weekly payments, a secret ballot, child labor, the apprenticeship system, the branding of convict made goods. The repeal of the tramp and factorising laws was al-o strongly favored. A secret ballot wns regarded as of the first importance, and the bill of Representative King, of Naugatuck, now before the leztalature, was indorsed. Ihe conference wanted An amendment to this bill providing that alt ballots containing the names of candidates to be voted for should be placed in a single envelope and deposited by each voter in a single box. It was voted to advocate a weekly payment bill identical with the Massachusetts law, and a bill to maka election day a legal holiday. If a total repeal of the factorizing law cannot be had exemption of wage* to the amount of $70 basked. A resolution was pawed favoring Ihe retention of the present Labor commissioner. Professor Arthur T. Had ley and a committee was appointed to get signatures to this from all labororganiaations of the slate. When Mr. Hadloy took the place two years ago his appointment was* not popular, bat he has won the labor men over completely, and now they are backing the Yale professor for all they are worth. The say that they want no politician in the office. Bills will be introduced requiring the state to furnish school text books, to enforce the eight hour law, to reduce the legal rate of interest, and to oall a constitutional convention to change the basis of representation in the legislature.

' Boston, Jan. 18.— Each branch of the legislature will vote viva voce to-day for United State* senator to succed Senator Dawea On Wednesday at 13 o'clock a convention of the two houfe. —ill be held, and if it appears that both branches have voted for the same person he will be declared elected senator, but if such is' not the case, the joint assembly must then proceed to choose a senator, taking one ballot each day until the work is accomplished. It Is generally believed that Congressman Long will lead in the vote, that Senator Dawes will foil some 90 votes behind Mr. Long, and that Ac-Governor Robinson will receive perhaps two-thirds as many votes as Mr. Dawes. The Democrats hold the key to the situation, and as Democratic interests lie in the return of Mr. Dawes, rather than a younger man, impartial observers think Chat he will eventually be reelected, and if not, that Itehinaon will •»D- oeed him. Contrary to general expectation the committee on contested elections did not make a report The members of the committee refuse to state wliy tboy did not report Matthews, the Democratic member, nays that he did pot know the reason and that he had his minority report prepared. The report will probably be made on Wednesday, as the session to-day can be only of an hour's duration, owing to the Inauguration. nlflcaoce—Standing by Their Yrlead. AlIixt, Jan. 18l—Immediately on the adjournment of the assembly, the Democratic member* hastily left the chamber and the Republican senators secured available seats therein. There was an anxious look on every countenance. Skirmishes orer the real battle wen to be fought for which the most sagacious generalship had provided. The Napoleons of the occasion, Morton and Miller, hoped to win the day. To whom would His-' cock prove the Blucher! That was the question.Washington, Jan. 18.—The house proceeded to the consideration Of the bill granting a pension of $13 per month to indigent soldiers. New York, Jan. 18.—A mass meeting of Catholics and others was held in Cooper union last evenine, to protest against the removal of Dr. McOlynn from the pastorate of St Stephen's churoh. Tha 1m - ,1.1,1 D.a Mr. Mateon. of Indiana, explained that the bill was for the relief of dependant parents and honorably discharged soldiers and sailors who are disabled and dependant upon their own labor for support He said the first section of the bill merely changed the evidence required by the pension office, and would not cost the government more than $60,000 annually; that thg total number of persons who would be benefited by the second section was estimated fct 83,105, and the annual cost to the government would not reach $0,000,000. filled to overflowing, many ladies beta* present.Dr. Jeremiah Coughlin presided, and in opening the meeting said they had met to sympathize and offer aid and assistance to the priest of the poor, Rev. Dr. McOlynn. His removal, the speaker had no hesitation in saying, had been effected by the clique of political heelers who run the "Fourteenth street institution,n Tammany hall. A Democratic caucus was hel l last night, the business of which was to pass a resolution for the seating of Walters, but nothing has been announced concerning it and no open action was token. Senator Edmund L. Pitta was selected as presiding officer of the caucus, and in a graceful speech than bed the members for iMr mark of confidence, pointed out the important duty of the hour, and speaking in gonerai terms of the distinguished candidates for tbs senatorship, sedulously avoided betrayitig any personal preference. Walter Gt. Smith, of Tompkins ooonty, was cboeeu secretary of the caucus. Although the committee on contests made no report, it is understood that the following shows the nature of their report as prepared: This committee is composed of three Republicans, one Democrat, and one labor man. They will order a new election in the Second assembly district of Mercer county. The speaker, a Democrat, will support this decision; tbis will leave the Walters-Jones seat vacant until the new election. The committee is not yet prepared to report on the Turley-Haines seat. Turley, a Democrat, was sworn in the other day, but may be unseated. The vote on the Waftters-Jones seat was 4'to 1, Mathews, the Democrat, voting against a new election. David Healey of The Irish World, wa* the first speaker of the evening. After debate, pro and con, the bill was passed. Yeas, 179: nays, 76. "He said that the emergency which had called the audience together was not the fault of the Catholics of this city, and the responsibility would hare to rest' upon# the shoukiers of those who had brought the trouble about. No matter from what part of the world people come, when they enter a Catholic church in this city there should be no foreign tribunal to call them to account. It was not unreasonable, the speaker con- The bill provides that parent* of deceased soldiers, in coses where there are no widows or minor children, shall only be required to Bhow that they are without other present means of support than their own manual labor, and that this being dona they and all persons who served three months or more in any war in which the United States has been engaged, and who have been honorably discharged therefrom and are not incapacitated for the performance of labor sufficient to earn support, shall be placed on the list of invalid pensioners and be entitled to $13 per month, such pensions to commence upon the filing of application in the pension office. The Democrat* of both houses of the legislature have held a caucus and nominated Hon. Patrick A. Collins for United State* senator. •  Taller* were elected as follows: McCarthy, Henry and McAvoy. Mr. Ainsworth moved that the cauous proceed to election of a nominee Mr aanator and that each man aria* and indicate hi* preference a* called on the rail, the candidate receiving a majority of -the caucus vote* to ha declared the nominee. A preliminary roll call showed three absentees, Messrs. Eldridge, Moses, and Rea. Mr. Erwin moved a* an amendment that the panol receiving a majority of the vote* of all the Republican members selected to the legislature be the candidate for senator. Messrs. Sloan, Baker, Kellogg, Curtis, Evan*. Knapp, Raines, and others opposed the amendment, while Me**r*. Brwin, Erase, Fasaett, and ethers defended the same. Its •tampions argued that the people deserved the selection of a senator who was the choice at the representative* elected, while its opponents designated the absentees as laggards, and the amendment a* preposterous and unknown to legislative precedent. Canada All Upeat# Boston, Jul 18.—An Ottawa special to Vhe Herald lays: The greatest excitement prevails here over an official announcement that parliament haa been dissolved and that a general election will be held on Feb. C3. Sir John A. Macdonald is afraid to faoe another session. Each of the provinces has pronounced itself Liberal at provincial elections except Manitoba and British Columbia, and the defeat of the government is certain. Since be came into favor, eight ysars ago, Macdonald has increased the national debt 1120,000,000, or 78 per cent tinned, to suppose that in such a great organisation m the Catholio church the machinery should sometimes get a little out of order. He wonld not question the archbishop's knowledge of religion, but he wonld say that he was oqly an amateur on the land question. It was not words that would weigh in this matter, it was firm and decided action that was needed. It was a well known fact that the many Catholic voters who deposited their ballots at the last election in favor of the labor cause did so under the frown of an archbishop.Speaker Baird in an interview expressed his dissatisfaction in regard to Governor Abbott, but signified his intention of voting for a Democrat in any case. He also said that he was not alone in his opinion, and intimated a serious break in the Abbett ranks. The act does not apply to persons under political disability. Senator McPherson ha* arrived, and Walter Phelp* is expected here to help Sewell. Mr. Eldridgs (Mich.) moved that the rules be suspended and the house concur in the senate amendment to tbe Mexican pension bill Mr. Bragg opposed the bill because it proposed a service pension. He also gave his reason for voting against the bill which the house had just passed. He thought it should be entitled a bill "to pension the rubbish of the army of the United States, and to revive the business of the agents." It covered every substitute, every bounty jumper and every scalawag that went into the array. Assemblyman McDermott, chairman »f the Democratic state committee, says that Kinney, the Democrat bolter, has not returned to his party, but will voto with Republicans in the Mercer county affair. A mat af BookHtar Banker*. At a Rocky Ledgeb Rocbbstkb, N. Y., Jan. 18 —A sensation was caused her* by the arrest of John Bpengier and Charlse B. Goss on the charge of grand larceny. Tbey have acted as secretary and treasurer of the Colombia Banking association for several years, and it is said their arrest will lead to startling disclosurss of fraud and dishonesty in the ooncarn. The prisoners are charged on one count with stealing $600 in certificates, while other affidavits made by members of the association zlaim that they have taken folly 16,000 In dividends belonging to other shareholders. The thievery, it is alleged, has been carried , N«wfo»t, R. L, Jan. 18.—The body of Miss Carrie Harvey was found on the beach near Ochre Point. Miss Harvey disappeared over a month ago, and was supposed to ha* committed suicide by jumping from a New York steamer. It is now believed that she leaped from the cliff notr where the body lay when found. There went no marks of violence on the body. The clothing and jewelry were tbe means of identification. An inquest resalted in a verdict of suicide by drowning. James B. Archibald, the next speaker, said it was the workingmen who had placed Dr. McGlynn in the poeition in which he now stood, and who twd njnt to vindicate him. The feeling toward their clergyman was shown by tbe devoted parishioners in the basement meeting at St Stephen's churcli last night He trusted that the prayers of the people would be heard and that Dr. Mo- Olynn would be reinstated. He blamed Mgr. Preston for Father McOlynn's removal Oovernor-eleot Green went before Chief Justice Beasley at midnight and there took the oath of office as governor of the state. Ex-Governor Abbett arrived at the state houw a few minutes after 13, and Allan McDermott, John H. Blackwell, Senator Werts, James Smith and a few other prominent Democrats dropped in soon afterward. It was 12:63 before Governor Green arrived in his carriage from the chief justice's. He entered the executive chamber, and was met by ex-Governor Abbett. In hi* speech Senator Raines alluded in a minor way to the Conkling contest At th* mention of the name of the Oneida chief the assembly rang which was profraoted for several minutes. It was DHMraMar remarked that the Morton and Hisoock man favored the amendment, while the MfU« m*n fought it Tb* roll oall showed the amendment oarrttd by a vote of St to SB, and was an undoubted victory (or the Morton banner, two of the d6**nt*s*, Sea and Eldridge being Morton advocate*, and the third, Moses, a Nominations being declared la order, Senator Fasaett aroee and presented the name of Levi P. Morton. Th* name was greeted with a full measure of applause Senator Smith followed, when the applause aooorded Mr. Faseett's effort* had subsided, and pat in nomination Hon. Warner Miller. At the conclusion of Mr. Bragg's remarks tbe rules were suspended and the senate amendment to the Mexican pension bill was concurred in. Tbe bill will now be sent to the president for his approval. It provides that a pension of $8 a month shall be paid to all surviving officers and enlisted men, including marines, militia and volunteers of the military and naval service of the United States, who being duly enlisted and who served sixty days with the army or navy in Mexico, or on tbe ooasts, or en route thereto, in war with that nation, or were actually engaged in a battle in said war, and were honorably discharged, and to such other officers and soldiers as may have been personally named in any resolution of congress for any specific service in said war, and the surviving widows of such officers and enlisted men, provided that such widows have not remarried; provided, that every such officer, enlisted man or Vidow who is «r may become S3 years of age, or is or may become, subject to any disability equivalent to some cause prescribed or recognised by the pension laws of the United States as a sufficient reason for the allowance of pension, shall be entitled to the benefits of this act, but it shall not be held to include any person not within the rules of age or disability or dependency herein defined, or who incurred such disability while in any manner voluntarily engaged in or aiding the late rebellion against the authority of the United States. Section 1,716, Revised Statutes, is repealed so far as it relates to this act or to pensioners under this act Teniieesee Desperadoes. After speeches by John McMackin, A. J. Steers, and others, resolutions were adopted and a committee of twelve waa appointed to carry out (heir purposes. Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. 18.—Luke Anderson, the notorious desperado and fire bog, was captured in a cave near Anderson station by detective Elliott of this city, aided by a po se. Anderson was prepared when the officers arrived and a fusilade of shots was exchanged. The desperadoes brother Tom was shot In ths melee. Lake Andereon has killed three men, and there was a trig reward standing for his arrest on for years by means of false entries. It is feared their work will bankrupt the association."You are heartily welcome, Governor Green. I turn over to you the office and all there is in it, and wish you all the joy there is in it," said the retiring executive, as he clasped both his successor's hands. Tbe resolutions declare that "the question has beat jaiblicly raised whether members of the Catholio church may, consistently with their religion, hold that private ownership in land is unjust, and that the land of a country is rightfully the property of all the people of that country." After reciting the facts in the matter of Or. McOlynn's action and suspension, the resolutions quote the language of Archbishop Croke, of Ireland, that "tbe i««i of Ireland belongs to the whole Irish nation for ths Irish people," and Bishop Unity's declaration that "no individual, or class of indiv duals, can hold a right of private pitfpstSy in the land of • country." Tbe right of Archbishop Corrigan to demand acceptance of his views as distinguished from thoee of the equally eminent fathers of the church just quoted is then denied, especially as the ohurch has laid down no doctrins on this point As Catholics, the resolutions continue, we protest against an attempt to ex- Mrs. Logai Provided for, Washington, Jan. 1&—■The Mrs, Logan fund which Capt Lemon started had on Saturday run up to about $00,000. Besides this therejrers $18,030 contributed by citisenn of Chicago, depoeited in Rigg's bank in this city, lira Logan has paid off ail the incumbrances on the Oahimet place property. Her son, John A. Logan, and her daughter, Mrs. Tucker, have united in a deed oonveying all their right and interest as heirs in th* house to their mother, so the property is now Mrs. Logan's. As Gen. Logan died intsstato this action on the part at the lulls was of courss entirely voluntary. This unusual mode of entering upon the duties of the office was taken on account of the general unsettled state of affairs and the fact that, there being no president of the senate, Baird, who was made speaker by the Republicans, would have been governor until noon had Mr. Green not been sworn in until then. Capt. Smith Drape Dead. NtaOK, N. Y., Jan. 18.—Capt John P. Smith, of the river steamer Chrystsnah, one of the best known men on the Hudson, dropped dead hers of heart disease, aged 54 years. Capt Smith commanded the steamer Magenta whan sha blew up near Sing Mag. He waa a)so captain of the Riverdala when that steamer sunk near Haw York, and had other narrow escapes. Senator Hendricks followed Mr. Smith in behalf of Hon. Frank HJaoook.

Curtis seconded, the nomination of Warner Miller In an earnest speech, and while bowing to the graceful tributes paid the other candidate*, he reoogniaed Mr. Miller a* combinining, more than any other, the necessary qualification* for the position in question.

Tha resolutions oonclude by expressing sympathy with Dr. McGlynn, the loving friend of the poor and oppreased, promising to support him by all moral and material means, and appointing a committee to decide in what practical form can best be shown respect and gratitude for him, and how bast it can be manifest to the world that American Catholics claim political liberty for their priests.

His death was a surprise to those in tha bureau, many of whom had not heard of hia serious illness. Senor Mart, the Spanish minister of foreign affairs, announoee that a definite special convention will soon be signed with the United States providing for mutual concessions as to tha trade of this country and the Spanish West Indies. The question of suoceasorsliip to Gen. Haaen is already discussed, and Capt. Greely is regarded by many aa the officer most likely to be placed at the head of the bureau. The Star, discussing this question, says that "there ia a general impression that Capt. Greely will be permitted to remain at the head of the service temporarily until arrangements are mads for separating the weather bureau from military control and establishing it permanently under a civil branch of the government. It is stated that the reason why a Chicago business man with half • million dollars married the female cashier in his store was that she got thirteen cents for a shilling every time.

That we pledge ourselves to retee to contribute to the maintenance of the church while we are deprived of the ministrations of the Rev. Edward McGlynn; and It is believed that the new treaty with China now before the senate is not likely to (five satisfaction to til* paople of the Pacific coast, since it does not effectually prohibit the coming of Chinese to this country. Mr. Erwia at this point moved to adjourn until 8 o'clock Tuesday evening, upon which Mr. Hosted demanded the yeas and nays. The Hisoock and Morton men oombined and succeeded in getting an adjournment: Yeas, C8; nays, 43. Bat one Miller man vcted to adjourn—Horton, who had formerly been considered doubtful; In fact, at one time being credited to Morton. Resolved, That aoomraittee be appointed to wait upon His Grace Archbishop Corrigan, to inform him of the action taken by the parishioners of St Stephen's, and to respectfully request of him the reasons for which Dr. McGlynn has been deprived of the charge he has held so long, vdth such honor to himsslf and benefit to ths church. It is conceded that the only reason that this plan was not carried out some time ago was the opposition and influence of Gen. Haaen and the unwillingness of congress to remove him from his position without good cause. As no officer of high rank would be affected by such a transfer it is thought probable that it will now be done. It is not generally known that Gen.
