PARIS, Dec. 19.—The Assembly, by vote, expressed an unwillingness to give an opinion on the question of seating the Orleans Prince.s. The matter has been referred by Thiers to the Superior Tribunal, whose decision is looked for with interest.
MADRID, Dec. 19.—The labor strikes are spreading. In some of the most important manufacturing towns business is almost suspended. All efforts at compromise have proved a failure.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—A publlic meeting was held at Cooper Institute last evening, to consider the bearing of the Treaty of Washington on the peace and well being of nations, especially on the interests of the working classes throughout the civilized world.
Addresses were made by Chancellor Howard, Mr. Crosby, the presiding officer, the Rev. J. B. Mills, of Boston, and others.

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 of 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. Those were handed over to Sheriff Brennan, but have not been served. *The Court of General Sessions was crowded yesterday with persons anxious to learn who the indictments were out against. As far as can be ascertained, Tweed and Connolly will move to squash the indictments found against them as illegal. A provision of a law of the State which says no action shall originate with the Grand Jury of the inferior Court of General Sessions while the Grand Jury of a higher Court of Oyer and Terminer is sitting. The indictments against Tweed and Connolly were found under precisely these circumstances.
Mr. O'Connor, prosecuting attorney, has decided this provision of law to be a mere technicality which could not hold good before a jury, and has advised the Grand Jury to continue their investigation without reference to the clause of law.
NEW YORK, December 19.—The most brilliant aud extraordinary billiard exhibition was the event of yesterday, at Dion's new rooms on Broadway. The attendance numbered several hundred, among whom were many billiardists.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—The following is a Tribune special from Washington of the 18th: The Territorial delegates in the House have formed themselves into a committee and held a regular meeting. They consider all bills introduced in either House of Congress as effecting the interests of their constituents. Their object is to secure more harmonious action, and to exert thereby a stronger influence to promote legislation, which they deem more important than they could have by acting seperately.
They design to give special attention to collecting information respecting the condition and progress of Territories, and to disseminate this information among Senators aud Representatives, with the view of keeping them informed so they may vote intelligenty upon measures of legislation proposed by the delegates,
NEW YORK, DCC. 19.—At 11 o'clock A. M. to-day, Olive Logan, dressed in a brown silk walking-dress, was roamed to Wirt Sykes in the parlor of 55 West Ninth street. Rev. Robert Collyer, of Chicago, performed the ceremony. The reception took place until 1 P. M., when the bride left for Warwick, N. Y., where she will lecture to-night.
No arrests have been made on the indictments found yesterday by the Grand Jury. It is positively asserted, however, there is another charge against Police Commissioner Henry Smith, called a Tammany Republican, aud James M. Sweeny.
NEW ORLEANS.—It is openly said by personal friends of Gov. Warmoutb, that upon the assembling of the Legislature, he will cause the ejection of Speaker Carter, on the pretext that Carter was never legally elected a member of the House.
It is also stated that the Governor, in order to carry out his intentions, will call to his assistance the metropolitan police, in its special character of the Governor's body-guard. On the other hand, Carter affirms he cannot be deposed by the vote of a bare majority, but claims there is a constitutional provision which secures him firmly to his seat, unless two-thirds of the members, after a
fair
and impartial
trial, shall declare him ousted. On these grounds, he will fight the Governor. Should violence be used, Carter will call for and doubtless receive assistance from the United States army. Every prepartion has been made to meet the issue squarely. Carter is a Grant Republican, opposed to the Warmouth Republican faction.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 19, 1871.
CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, December 18. SENATE.
Several petitions were referred, including one by Mr. Sumner, of the negroes of Rhode Island, stating that they are outraged and degraded, and asking the passage of the supplementary civil rights bill.
Mr. Corbet introduced a bill that the National Banks on the 1st of January, 1872, shall have three per cent, in gold coin on hand, of the aggregate circulation, increasing thereafter annually until they have fifteen percent., and thereafter to keep a residue in gold instead of legal tenders. It was ordered to be printed.
Mr. Conkling offered a resolution directing the Retrenchment Committee to investigate Mr. Schurz's charge of fraud in the New York Custom House. Its consideration was postponed until the committee is appointed.
Mr. Anthony moved that Messrs. Buckingham, Pratt, Howe, Harlan Stewart, Pool and Bayard be appointed the Retrenchment Committee.
Mr. Sumner—I ask the Senator who offered that resolution to state whether there are named as members of this committee any of the Senators who brought forward this inquiry, and especially urged it on the Senate.
Mr. Anthony—The Senator knows that as well as I do. I think the gentle men named are exceedingly judicious, sensible, and moderate men, who command the confidence of their associates, although I do not know that they have made themselves very conspicuous in connection with the charges that have been made here.
Mr. Sumner—When I heard the list I was astonished at the absence of certain names. On this list there is not the name of a single Senator who urged this investigation, or who voted for the investigation in the strongest form, unless it be the Democratic Senator from Delaware, Bayard. The Senators on this list all voted against the investigation in the strongest form, and I understand that every Senator in favor of the investigation in its strongest lorm, except one Democratic Senator, is excluded from the committee. It is for the Senate to determine after the debate has occurred whether a committee organized that way can satisfy the country. Perhaps also it would be worth while to consider whether it is in conformity with parliamentary law. It is laid down in Jefferson's manual that those who take exception to some particulars are to be of the committee, but none who speak directly against the body of a bill, for a child is not to be put to a nurse that cares not for it. You smile, Mr. President, you naturally smile when you see that process going on in the chamber. [Laughter.] Jefferson proceeds to say it i«. therefore, a constant rule that no man is to be employed in any matter who has declared himself against it, and when any member who is against a bill hears himself named on a committee, he should ask to be excused. [Laughter.] Now, as I understand, this inquiry was first presented by the Senator from Illinois, (Trumbull) and urged by him in an elaborate and able speech, which has already awaked the echoes throughout the country. I miss his name from the committee. In the debate on this subject that Senator was sustained by the Senator from Missouri, (Schurz.) I miss his name. There were other Senators, I think, who spoke on that side, certainly there were others who voted on that side. I miss all their names, and I think the country will miss them. For five years past there has been a Committee on Retrenchment, joint in character but still representative of the Senate. I know not whether any of the members of that committee appear on the list.
Mr. Schurz—No. Mr. Sumner—My friend before me says not one. Neither the Chairman of that committee (Patterson), who had gained much experience in ferreting out abuses, nor one of his asociates finds a place on this committee. Why, sir, to me it is simply inexplicable. I am at a loss to understand how my friend from Rhode Island (Anthony), in whom I believe reigns the spirit of justice, can bring forward a proposition for such a committee, but I have no desire to go into any opposition. I am only one. I simply make this statement that I may be of record, and that, hereafter, should this committee fail in its inquiries, the country may know that the Senate was at least warned with regard to its character. I desire to be understood that I have not one word except kindness for the much-respected Senators who are named on this committee. I simply call attention to the fact they took no part either by speech or vote in urging this inquiry, and that there appears on this list no Senators who did. My purpose is accomplished if I call the attention of my friend from Rhode Island (Mr. Anthony), to the character of the committee he proposes. [Laughter.]
Mr. Anthony—I believe that the appointment of this committee is strictly parliamentary. The committee was voted for unanimously. The Senator from Illinois, Mr. Trumbull, moved a joint committee, and had that committee been agreed upon, he would have been entitled to th® chairmanship of it, but the resolution under which this committee is apppointed, was moved by me, andif of the committee to be appointed by the chair, I would probably have to ask to be excused as chairman. I don't know what my friend from Massachusetts, (Mr. Sumner,) means when he speaks of Senators here who are opposed to this inquiry. I don't know of a single Senator who is opposed to the most searching and thorough inquiry into any charges of corruption, by whomsoever made in this chamber. Every Senator who has spoken on this subject has declared himself in favor of a thorough investigation, and I ask my friend to read the names of the men on this committee, and say if there is a man there that he belieVes would cover up corruption. I consider this committee an eminently judicious one. This is the first tiLSe in my experience in the Senate, that I have ever heard a committee objected toon account of the character of its members, and I aM glad that the first experiment has been tried upon Senators against whom so little can be said.
Mr. Thurman—The Senator from Rhode Island wholly evades the question. No Senator will say a word in disparagement of the character of either of the Senators proposed as members of this committee, and no such issue can be forced upon the Senate. We are not here to investigate the character of Senators we are here to inquire whether this proposed committee will be in accordance with parliamentary usage and good sense. The question is whether, having resolved to investigate, the investigations shall be committed to a committee, the majority of whom were earnestly in favor of the investigation, or to men who are opposed to it. To say those who favor the investigation ought to be upon the committee implies, no imputation upon the motives of those who would be excluded from it. There is a difference of opinion in the Senate as to the existence of frauds and the necessity for investigation.
Mr. Conkling—What difference? Mr. Thurman—The Senator from Nevada said, the other day, there was BO
iff
illll
necessity for investigation at all that this administration audits officials were so pure there was nothing to investigate.
Mr Frelinghuysen asked Mr. Thurman whether the parliamentary rule was not that the Senator who voted for a measure should be upon the committee.
Mr. Thurman—You can not evade the rule by taking six or seven gentlemen that voted for a resolution. There is a rule that a Senator who moves for an inquiry is to be placed at the head of the committee, if he is of the dominant party, but the Senator from Illinois [Trumbull] is not put at the head of this committee.
Mr. Buckingham—The Senator from Illinois [Trumbull] distinctly declined, iiot publicly but privately, to be either chairman of the committee or on the committee.
Mr. Trumbull—The only conversation I ever had on the subject, according to my recollection, was with the Senator from Connecticut. After the Senate had voted down my proposition to raise a committee, and to refer to it the subject specified, and proposed but simply to raise a committee and give it no powers except such as the Senate should afterward confer upon it, I did say to the Senator I could not consent to serve on a committee raised iu that way.
The morning hour here expired, and on motion of Mr. Anthony, the unfinished business was postponed, by a vote of 41 to 22.
Mr. Thurman resumed. Another parliamentary usage, he said, had been violated in this case. It was usual to permit the minority to select their own representatives upon a committee, but this committee had been cooked up in a Republican caucus, and the name of one Democrat that was to be allowed on the committee, was selected without jponr suiting the minority further. It was remarkable that there waa only one Democrat to be put upon a committee, which was to enter into an investigation as broad as the Union. Democratic Senators were satisfied with the selection of him, but their complaint was that the majority had undertaken to select for them all, and also thatone member could not fairly represent the Doinocratic party on the committee.
Mr. Howe protested against being classed as an opponent of investigation, because he had not thought fit to vote for Trumbull's resolution.
Mr. Bayard thoughtSumner's criticism just. He believed the design of making up the committee with only one Democrat, was that when a Senator offers a resolution of inquiry on some particular case, he implies no other case should be investigated.
Mr. Howe desired Mr. Bayard to understand that he would go as far as be. Mr. Bayard—Iu investigating any branch of the public service, and vote for the most radical sweeping and searching investigation he kuows how to contrive.
Mr. Bayard accepted Mr. Howe's pledge, and would offer as a substitute Mr. Trumbull's opposition, believing that although Mr. Conkling voted against it before, he would support it now.
Mr. Conkling said he voted against embodying Mr. Trumbull's proposition on the rules of the Senate, but was ready to vote the most sweeping investigation. The country should understand there was no monopoly of public virtue by gentlemen on the other side, and Mr. Bayard knew him (Conkling) well enough to know that he earnestly desired to discover and punish frauds.
Mr. Bayard was still under the impression that there was inconsistency between the positiouof Conkling on Thurs» day and to-day. It was a singular thing, that, notwithstanding the earnest protestations of a desire for reform, every man who attempted to initiate any reform, or even to point out abuses in the administration, had been attacked and, if possible, crushed. David A. Wells, a genuine and valuable reformer, had been treated in that way, and there was a very manifest disposition on the part of the administration champions to treat the reformers in precisely the same way. Another singular fact was that whenever any one on the other side of the house asked for au investigation of fraud or corruption he was at once accused of aiming at the President. Why should the friends of the administration identify their chief with its abuses? Nevertheless the country would insist on an investigation, The country would like to know whether it was true, as stated by the New York Tribune, the country would like to know whether it was true that the executive power had ever cast its shadow into this chamber, and attempted by influence the action of Senators, either by dulcet tones of promises of reward, or by threatening tones of vengeance to be taken upon those who had the misfortune to be offenders. All these were fit subjects for investigation. To effect anything it must be made by men who were willing to investigate. It was not a question of character, but of opinion. The Senator from Indiana (Morton), for instance, would be unfit to be a member of the oommittee, because he had declared the other day that ours was the best civil service in the world.
Mr. Morton reiterated his belief that our civil service is better than that of any European country, more free from abuses, equal in integrity and more efficient than any other. He did not think our civil service perfect, but he did think it grossly unjust to denounce it as the worst in the world, when it was in fact the best..
Mr. Conkling said he thought it but right that the desire of the Democrats to have an additional member of the commitee should be gratified, and he would vote for giving them one, aud allowing them to select him themselves. He had understood the Senator from Delaware to ask him for information in regard to a certain transaction connected with the recent State Convention in New York,
Mr. Bayard said his inquiry, so far as he had made one, was directed to the senior Senator from New York.
Mr. Conkling said he was the senior Senator. Mr. Bayard—I meant the other Senator. I have been so accustomed to associate the idea of youth and beauty with the Senator who has just spoken, that it never occurred to me that he was the senior Senator. [Laughter.]
Mr. Fenton—I quite agree th my colleague that it is better not to bring this matter to the floor of the Senate, but if it should seem proper at any time, I shall attempt to show, and I think I can make such a case, as will satisfy almost every Senator, that the inquiry of the Senator from Delaware was justified by the facts of the case. 1J31 JL

REBUILDING CHICAGO, And restoring its former greatness alter its late devastatiou by fire.
The year 1872, it will be remembered, is a
PRESIDENTIAL YEAR, And the campaign wijl, in all probability, be as exciting as auy that has ranspsred since the outbreak of the late war. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE will upliolu aud defend the principles of the Republican party with its accustomed «*igor and earnestness. Our platform consists of:
Equal and exact justice, at the ballot-box and before the law, to all men, without distinction of race or color.
Amnesty for all political offences connected with the rebellion. At ariff for public revenue only.
Presrrvation of the public lands for actual settlers under the Homestead and Pre-emption laws.
Opposition to monopolies of every description, and to corruption in every form. Such reform of the civil service as shall make men and fitness, instead of partsan zeal or personal favoritism, the test of perferment to B'ederal offices.
Our readers, and the public generally, are so well acquainted with the tone and quality of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE that we need not enlarge upon that subject. Near the close of the 25th year of our existence as a public journal we had the misfortune, in common with a large mnjosity of the business community of Chicago, to be burned out, losing thereby the most commodious newspaper building in the United States, and being deprived, temporarily of the use of our extensive printing mnchinery. We have commenced rebuilding our ruined edifice on a more enduring plan than beforehand we have effected arrangements for the use of machinery which practically gives us the same facilities that w« possessed before tne Are. Upon occupation of our new building and machinery THE TRIBUNE will be issued as an octavo, and contain eight pages of reading mat-

THE NEW TOEK TIMES.
Daily, Weekly and Semi-Weekly.
This journal is now thoroughly identified with the greatest political necessity of the hour —uncompromising warfare against all forms of corruption, whether in national or local government. For years past the TIMES has been exposing the demoraliziug schemes of self-ln-terested politicians, and its recent warfare Upon the Tammany Democrats has been received with universal approval. It has adhered, to the pledge given in its original prospectus, more than twenty years ag®, that the pubHc should l?e truly represented, and their interests faithfully guarded through its columns. Its record has been pure and honorable, and the highest aim of its proprietors is to render It more and more worthy of its past history, and of the confidence which the public repose In it. Two out of three of the original proprietors still direct its policy, and guide it on all public questions. They propose that the TIMES shall continue to keep clear of all narrow and unworthy Influences and cliques, and aim to represent the great body of the public, as distinguished from personal factions. It occupies a perfectly independent position, and is free to speak the truth on all subjects and about all men. Its greatly increased circulation throughout the country adds to its power and influence. It will continue to be a faithful exponent of Republican principles, and advocate with untiring energy every cause which tends to further the welfare of the people.
The utmost care will be devoted to gathering political news from special sources during the Presidential canvass. This department of the paper will be unusually full and trustworthy. Renewed enterprise will be exhibited in every department of the paper, and large space will be devoted to reports of speeches made during elections, or on other impprtant political occasions.
A Very full summary of hews, and many general articles of great interest, are published in the Semi-Weekly editions and in the Weekly edition there is an unabridged report of the proceedings ot the Farmers' Club, an excellent summary of political information, and a great variety of matter suita le for family reading.
The NEW YORK TIMES is pre-eminently a family paper, all objectionable advertisements being rigidly excluded and It has a constantly increasing circulation among the most respectable classes of the community
