N. Y. VhUt Sstabliaaea I860 THE WEEK LV CONGRESS Probability of the Ratification ol the Mexican Treaty. A. Lively Dtscaasloi Expected om the Fits John Porter Bill-Appro rtailon Bill and District of Columbia Mailers.

Washtngtoh, March 10. Tbe prosct of is of an Interesting we-k in the senate. Tbe Mexican treaty is the first for consideration in executive session, and an agreeiuen has been reached by which it is now reasonably certain that it will be ratified! The ratification was lost by only one rote. It is now learned tlat one, certainly, of the senator's who voted against it will vote to reconsider and to appro it Tbe weCern railroads interested in the development of the southwest and th4 consequent increase of their business have been working hard in tbe interest of Ihe treaty One free-trade senator who voted against ratification and wao has now changed his nund bays he voted against it under the impression that it was solely in tbe interest of the Gould Grant eu-erprise. On Tuesday the bill t' regulate the practice in patent suits will come up a special order.

There are two special orders Wednesday the bills for the relief of Fits John Porter, and to aid in the establishment and temporary support of common schools. The former takos preceder.ee, and is expected tj lead to a lively discua.ou lien. au sixike urilavs in opixs tJ the measure last year. He is primed for another great effort, a though he may not takj quite so much lime in prcsuutiug hit views. Mr.

lngalis, it is believed, will speak against the bill. A few days ao lie eiprel hii or-dial concurrence in the opiuiou et forth iu a memorial that tbe reinstatement of Gen. Porter would be an luMilt to the loyal of the war bo faithfully executed all orders for the safety aad preservation of the Union. Messrs. Sewell and McPherson will aain take tho lead in supporting the bill.

Uon. Portor's friends think tho senate will pas by about tbe same Vote as that of last session. The special orders will undoubted consume the whole of the week, and perhaps jxtend into next. In the house, the Kst office appropriation bill has the right of way, and will probably b) passed as early as Wednesday or Thursday, aftor which Mr inbrell will try and get up the agricultural appropriation bilT. This- in a small 11, but the consulueucv is large, and much U'ue will lie needed to allow members to express opinions on the natter, and what tiiey know on farming.

To-morrow, after the call of states, under a Jiew amendment fc tbe rules, will be given to the consideration of matters pertaining to the District of Columbia, the tint hearing given them in this congress. Congress is tne uuly lawmaking pjwer for tho district, and is, on the second and fourth Mondays of tin month, its legislature. Its sessions on the days seldom exceed two and a half hours on the District matters, and generally end without a quorum, so that there is about fifteen hours unnuullv ilovoted to legislating for the atW.OuO iaiiabitan's of the District Friday is private bill iluy. Aside from the question on which the house was voting when a recess was taken last Friday, there ii uo particularly objectionable bill in the way, and some progress may he made in disposing of private bills. There is a growing hostility to the transaction of business by unanimous jxinseut, and but little lieyoud the passage ot the post-office, and siibly the agricultural appropriation bills, need bo exiecleJ the present week.

Mr. Morrison's tariff bill wiU be reported early in the week and a test Voto had on tabling It jr striking out the enacting clause. Tne result will hare a significance and weight beyond the face of the bill, as a triumph of one or the other factions in the liou led respectively by Messrs. Morrison and Randall. The latter gentleman scored one against his adver-jiry Knturday in the defeat of the motion to go into committee of the whole to consider the bonded intension bill.

Third Assistant Postmaster General Hnzen hassuut to the speaker of the house a letter do which be states that sines July 1 tho issue of postal cards has decrease! to such an extent that be feels justified 4ti requesting i lie appropriations committee to strike from the estimate oriinuliy submitted a he manufacture of ostal cards. The originally asked for was During a number of in nitbs this year the demand for postage stamps has increased nijhteen per ceut. over last year, and the demand for stamped envelopes hu increased twenty-five per cnt. over last year. From these figures Mr.

Uazen does nut anticipate a larger deficiency than that mentioned in bis estimate, and tbe post office department, he thinks, by next July, and outer again upon 4 self-sustaining career. Novel Wrestling Rules. JUkw York, March 10. Ihe international wrestling between Matsado Sorakiche and Edwin Bibby will be decided at Clarendon ball, in Thirteenth street, to-night All the takes, $300, have been posted with Richard K. Fox.

According to the articles of agreement, the rivril champions are to wrestle best three In five bouts, Japanese rules. Both athletes will wear belts nine feet in length which will ba bou id round their thighs and which the wrestlers will grasp for a fierce hold. It will not matter whether the shon ders heads or any part of the body touch the ground to constitute a fall. Should the Jap throw Bibby on his head it wil be a fall, or should Bioby hurl tbe Jap on his face to the floor it will be a fall. Bibby has nver figured in a contest governed by such but he is confident, if the Jap does not gain the first fall ha will win the match.

In Japan three contests generally end with all of ihe contestants returning with a sprainei ankle, dislocated shoulder or hrokeu arm and terribly bruised bodies. The contest promises to be one of the most exciting ever witnessed. At Tbe Police Gazette office tbe referee was selected. Bibby, the Jap and a host of sporting men were present Held for a Bretal Assault. BroosXTR, March 10 During the absence of her husband Sunday afternoon Oeorge Feist called upon Mrs.

Fredericas Miller at her home, No. 180 KHery street. While alone in the sitting-room with the woman, Feist attempted to commit an as-saalt upon her. Mrs Miller screamed lustily, and her children, bearing her outcry, took np tbe alarm, and tbeir shrieks brought tbe neighbors to their a.ssislance. They seized Feist and held him until tho polios arrived, when he was taken to the Flushing avenue station house.

Nw Yokk, March 10. The recur as re ceived at polios beaduartert oa bunder contained a record of the arrest of Jesse Williams, a negro coachman, an 1 Gertrude Ash, a colored servant, on the complaint of Miss Maggie Harveys of No.

49 est Thirty -second street, for burglary and felonious assault This case is the most desperate of its kind that has come under the notice of the polios since the famous Hull tragedy, for which the negro Ciutstine Cox was executed. Tbe principal prison is a negro, and bis ac complice is a colored woman. Both are young, and tor persons of the nero race nave remarkably light complexions. The huge five-story brick building at tbe corner of Broadway and Thirty -second street is known as the "Sioane Fiat" The ground part is occupied by Mr. George Sloaue, an extensive dealer in notions.

Tbe eutraneelo the flat is at 49 West Thirty-eecoud streot. Gertrude Ash wai a servaut in Mr. Sloans family. Htss Maggie llarvsy is Mrs. Sluane's sister.

Sue is a well-built, sensible lilts lady, about eighteen years old. She was very sick from the effect of the shook aud tbe brutal treatment which she received at the bands of Jesse Williams. Her body is covered with bruises. Her friends are very a. nous about her.

They tear that she may not survive Ou Saturday night Mr. aud Mrs. Sloane paid a visit to oue of their frieuda Miss Maggie remained at home in charge of her niece, who is two and a halt years old. Ger trude Ash was in the house too, i ill negro of ho.e presence the Sloane and Miss Harvey were ignorant Miss Harvey retired at 10:30. In the northeast corner of Miss Harvey's bedroom there is a large closet Mr.

Sloane's little girl slept with Miss Harvey. Tbey had hardly drawu the bed clothes over them heu the door of tbe closet was pushed out from the insula As Miss Harvey turned round to see wuat the cause of this strange occurrence, the uero Williams, who had been concealed in the closet, spraug out, and seizing Miss Harvey by the throat forced ber head back ou Hi pillow. Tbs child began to cry. "If you don make that chil keep still I'll kill itl" said Williams in a disguised to.is. Miss Harvey begged tbe child to remain quiet and implored the burglar not to do her violence, illiams, sull letaiulug his ho.d upon ber throat, said: "Show me where tho money la" "I dou't know where the money is," she gasped.

Tbe negro then stuffed a handkerchief into ber mouth, placed over it a towel, which tiel firmly at tbe back ot ber bead and bound ber bunds at the wrists le'und her back. Tbe child was too frighteusd to cry. Williams ransacked the flat at his leisure It was about 11 o'clock whn Mr. and Mrs. Sloane returned borne As they enteral the dining-room Mrs.

Sloune was thunderstruck to find that all the silverware en tbe sideboard had been removed. The window of the diulug-room was open. Mr. Sloane sent one of the members of tbe household to tin Thirtieth streot police station to give the news of the burglary. A minute later Miss Harvey was dlscov ered unconscious on tbe floor of hsr bed room, bound and gagged.

The rope was quickly cut, and the gag was taken out of her mouth. A physician was summoned aim restoratives were applied. Under the treat nieut Miss Harvey recovered and was able to tell the story of her thrilling adventure. Mr Sloane's child was almost frightened to death. It was about midnight when Capt.

Wil liams and Detectives Price and Duuisn reached tbe house. Miss Harvey had then recovered. Detective Price's atteutiou was first attracted to tbe open window in the dining room He stepped through it on to the platform of the fire escape, and there found a pillow-slip filled with (XJ0 worth of silverware. The trap In the platform was fast nned and could not be opened. The detective suspected the negro to have taken a skyward oourse in the hope of making his escai.

The detective climbed up tbe fir escape, pressed up tbe trap opposite the windows on the top flo ami landed right iu front ot tbe window of the room occupied by the servant, Gertrude Ash. Tbe window was partly open. Price pushed it up and entered. He detected a suspicious movement uuder the servant's bed, and looking under it saw a light-colored negro lying on his face there. Tbe detective ordered him to corns from his biding place.

The negro, who proved to be Jssse Williams, sulkily obeyed. Detective Duulap and a uniformed officer were detailed to escort him to the station house while the captain and Price remained to continue the investigation. Miss Harvey repeated for their edification the story of her adventure and narrow escape from death. Tbey learned that Williams and the girl Asb were regarded as engigsd iu the negro colony ef the Twenty-ninth precinct. Wil- liams went into Asb's room In the Sloane fiat on Wednesday night.

He had not left it un til be was taken out a prisoner. The offlceis concluded that Gertrude Ash was a voluntary accomplice They arrested ber, aim sent bar to the station bouse in the custody of two uniformed men. She denied being acquainted with Williams, and asserted that she was ignorant of his presence in the house- The prisoner, VV illiams, is a stranger to the police of the Twenty-ninth precinct, although be has lived there nearly all bis life. Detective Pries says that he has been in trouble before, but he does not know Its nature. He hopes to be able to furnish the magistrate witb a part ot his criminal his tory to-day.

While Eagle City leads, there are other towns to be mentioned, located above the first named.

These are Murray-ville, Butte, Bear Gulch and Raven. The snow lies from six to fifteen feet deep. It will not be possible to do any real work for three months.

Tbe Mississippi is oat of its banks and backed np against the levees all the way from Vicks-burg to Greenville, and were it not for the constant work which is kept up on them at the expense of tbe general government and the counties in which tbey are situated th destruction bi the flood would be terrible.
