( Now York Herald Cable Special to the Ben. ] With regard to the ministerial crisis there is only ono event of any Importance to record. The empress lias had a two hours' conference with 1'rinco ' . litsmnrck. The hlfih spirits which wcro dis played by the empress after her return from the Intcrvluw were hardly compatible with n rumor that the project is to bo-deferred to 1 some remote future time. The whole affair , 1 liowovor , Is mysterious , nnd ono is tempted to believe some great surprise is pending * The rumor still circulates that Prince Hls- ymnrck intends to reign , whllo the nnmo of " Count Munstcr , Ocrinnn ombassadorto Paris , B Is mentioned ns his successor. It Is stated also that the emperor's choice will fall Uxm | Ij.iron von Itoggonbach , a long and intimate 'frlond ' of the emperor. The baron Is sixty- ctght years of ago. There now seems no , longer n doubt that the betrothal Incident was a pretext employed by Bismarck to bring matters to n crisis. To-dny the cm- poror , who Is nomowhat bdttcp again nnd who took an hour's drlvo , had a long confer ence with I'rlnco Bismarck. Herr Uoggon- unch is said to have attempted to arrange matters between the empress nnd the chan cellor.

In tno sonnto csterday a resolution was introduced by senator Fassctt , republican , for the appoint ment of u committee to Inves'lgato certain rablished charges in regard to alleged cor- uptlon in the administration of some of the epartmcnts in the municipal government of New York city. While the terms of the res- olutlon wore general , it was understood the real point of attack was on Governor Hill , concerning whoso nllegod "deal" with the ncqucduct commission during the last gub ernatorial canvass certain Now York papers md published articles. Tno story published vas In effect that Governor Hill had secured n change in the personnel of the ocqucduct omnnsslon , by having the mayor and comp- roller released from ex-ofllclo service hcroon ; that the governor then np- > onted ! his i > olltleal friends to vncan- 3ics with the result that the firm f O'Hrlon ' & Clnrko , contractors , were en abled to secure the contract for a section of ho new ncquoduct , though they were the ilghest bidders , and that they sub-let it to , nothcr competing firm at a profit of ?

The resolution inthoscnatocaused ahoatcd debate in that body to-day , In which personal charges of campaign and legislative corrup- , ipn were freely tossed back nml forth be- jWccn friends and enemies of the governor. The resolution was finally adopted unanl- nously , and ono of the democratic members rave nittico that ho would introduce a reso- utlon to investigate the charges of corrup- , ion In the electoral canvass of certain mem bers of the state senate , and as to the use of nonoy in the senate itself in the last two lections of United States senators. Governor Hill mudo a statement to the As sociated press representative this evening in cgard to the matters charged against him. tie said that near the close of the campaign of 1830 the democratic state committee np- > caled to him to aid them. In connection rvlth certain other democrats , ho drew AVO notes , aggregating15,000 , which ho gave .hem. They were discounted and the money ised in the legitimate work of the campaign.

The senate this afternoon confirmed the nomination of Jared llathbone , to bo consul general at Paris , ' by a vote of 44 to 8. A secret session of ten minutes was sufficient to dispose of the mat ter. ter.When When the doors reopened Mr. Merrill ad dressed the senate on the president's mes sage. Ho spoke at considerable length. Ho said the president appeared to deprecate the discussion of protection and free- trade , and with wonderful simplicity forthwith pro posed to recommend absolute free trade in wool. He would by this measure cut the jugular vein of every sheep in the country , and argue with the owners that thc5' would bo better oft without them , or that they lost more than they gained by protection. De ducting the protective duty imposed for the buiieilt of American wool of 10 cents per pound , the value of Texas wool in the New York and Boston markets woulil suddenly drop to 4 or 5 cents per pound. No state would continue to raise wool at that price. Wool growing in the great state of Texas , with an area larger than that of Germany , France , Spain or Italy , would be known as ono of the lost arts. The prodigous loss to the landed estates from an abandonment of sheep husbandry was a problem of difllcult solution. Ho deprecated the attempt to excite - cite a panic in financial affairs because of the surplus of $ . ' S,000,000. The mainten ance of a Ui-metallic system of coinage and the preservation of a currency of both gold and silver was also liable to bo affected. Were the rates of duties to be placed merely a trillo in favor of foreign im portations , nn excess of imports over exports would soon appear and turn the balance of trudo against this country. This could not continue long before gold would command a premium and find its best market as a com modity to bo shlnped abroad. The scnato resumed consideration of the bill to provide for the admission of Dakota and for the organization of the territory of North Dakota , and was addressed by Mr. Davis. He said the senator from South Carolina ( Butler ) was of the opinion that the admission of a state was purely within the discretion of congress. Ho ( Davis ) denied that proposition. Ho denied it from the light of law and from the light of history. As to the claim of the senator from South Carolina lina that there was great opposition in Da kota to the bill , ho asked why no petitions of dissent had como to the senate from Da kota. The whole territory , ho said , con tained fioino 600,000 inhabitants , of which number about 820,000 were in Southern Da kota. Of ttio latter 20,000 were ex-union soldiers , who were denied enfranchisement by the country which they had fought to pave. They were In all that constituted u state , more fully equipped than many states which were now persistently denying their admission. Why delay longer that great act of national Justice I The question should bo stripped of all pretense , evasion and sham , and it should be plainly admitted that the commonwealth of South Dakota had been denied admission as a state for the solo reason that the party in power ( with the solid south ) was determined not to lose its political ascendancy. Mr. Turplo obtained the floor and the bill was laid aside till to-morrow. The following bills were taken from the calendar und passed : The house bill to purchase of the widow and children of the lute General James Shields certain swords at a cost not exceed ing $10,000. The senate bill for the relief of the First National bank of Marlon , Iu. , for Interest on lost coupon bonds. The house bill making appropriations for the support of the military ncadomy for the Jlscal year ending Juno 'M , 1SW , with but ono innxrtant amendment. The scnato then adjourned , House. WASHINGTON , April 11 , Notwithstanding nn all night session the deadlock in the house of representatives was this morning still unbroken brokenAt 10:55 : a. in , no sign of an end to the fight had appeared. From 2 o'clock until daybrcalctho members of the house faut patiently in their seats or re clined on the mgro easy sofas in the rear of the ball. No motions were submitted , no points of order raised , no parliamentary in quiries submitted. The house was in a stuto of slego. Advocates of the direct tax bill , recognizing their inability to cope with tbo parliamentary tactics of their antagonists , refrained from any ef fort to dispense with further proceedings under the call of the house. The opponents of the measure , conscious of the fact tnat they would bo out-voted upon any motion to adjourn , desisted from their efforts in that direction and affairs came to a complete standstill. Now and then a gentlemar would make a remark which wouli arouse the risibilities of such of the members as were not asleep , but throughout the night there were no scenes of sufllciciit interest to awaken the dozen occupants of tno galleries who were peacefully- dozing oft tbo benches. As the early morning Hfeht broke through "tho Blazed i-elliny of , tuochamber , a short in formal recess was taken to enable the Jaui tora to clear the floor of the accumulation of rubbish of the nil hlehf session , but the duty was very Inefllcicntly performed. ' The dny began with the hound still constructively in session since Wednesday of last week. The loungers of tho'tfiRht generally sought , ho shelter of the tloftliiind committee rooms or escaped the Vl ) llaMco of the scrgcant-at inns and went hbniq'v ) breakfast. About a lundred , whoso bright faces and gcnorol np > onrnncegavorlsdto , a' suspicion that they wcro not nt thcit' posts during the entire night , wcro scattered Knout the hall attend * ng to whatever duty oflxjrsonnl fancy might sue-gcst as n pastime.

A SWITCH EN0INB DUMPED. Switch edglno No. 109 on the Burlington , while proceeding south last night , was thrown into a ditch at Ninth and Davenport streets by the spreading of the rails. The non-brotherhood engineer and fireman who manned the locomotive escaped injury by jumping. A few minutes after the accident a half dozen Pinkerton men arrived on the scene , and gazed somwfully upon the wreck and made it interesting for the hoodlums who came about.

" \Vho authorized you to do police duty ? " asked the chief in commanding tones. "I'm not doing police duty , " was the easy response , and the fellow dangled his club airly by his side. "What uro you dressed in the uniform of n policeman for then ? " was the rejoinder. "These are not police clothes. I'm u doc tor , and I'm working for the Burlington in that capacity. " "A doctor , " said Seavey with some sur prise , as ho ogglcd the man closely , and chanced the query , "What do you do ?
