Indianapolis wanted a Burveyor of customs at a salary of $5,000 per annum, bat the bill has been reported adversely to congress.

General Grant and family have arrived in Washington, and are the gaesta of the president. A number of brilliant receptions will be tendered Iheaa during their stay.

Shipherd is voluminous in his talk and there is every indication that he will tire out the committee before they get through with htm. Thus far his testimony has not been eminently fatisfactory.

It begins to look as though the Chinese bill will be amended by the house so as to continue it in operation

only

ten years,

instead of twenty years, as provided for io the senate bill. Should the amendment prevail the bill will have to go back to the senate.

Senator Ilill, of Georgia, is reported belter. Hia surgeon informs him that the cancer has been eradicated entirely. He articulates distinctly, aDd is quite cheerful. As soon es the weather permits he will visit his physician in Philadelphia and report progress.

The statement comes from Washington that the president will not pardon Sergeant Mason at this time. 'He will allow him (o remain in prieon for six mon-hs, and if at the expiration of that time there is a demand for his pardon, it will then be seriously considered.

The rumor that J. H. Haverly had transferred all his busioees sffairs lo a gentleman in Chicago to be conducted by him in trust during a protracted tour of Europe, is denied by Haverly'e manager, who thinks he knows nsore about the business of his principal than the newspaper reporters.

The rumor was revived again yesterday that Jay Gould and hia confederates had secured a controllicg interest in the Mutual Union telegraph steck. It was accompanied with the statement tbatlio consolidation would follow, but that the companies would operate hsrmonionsly instead of as rivals.

The glucose manufacturer!) are endeavoring to get up a corner on that article. They held a national convention in Chicago on Tuesday, at which they agreed to an advance of prices, and gave to one man the exclusive sale io Chicago. The manufacturers are ell oversold from thirty to sixty days.

It appears that the officials connected with the soldiers' borne in Washington drew upon the gardens, orchards, dairy and greea houses regularly for all the supplies necessary for tamily use. Everything connected with the institution seems to have been levied upon for tribute to these who had it in charge.

Kentucky challenges the world in (he number and atrocity of its murders. Io Lincoln courty sixty persons have been killed in seven years, and in no case was the murderer hung, and in only twenty were thsy cent to the penitentiary, the remainder being set at liberty, In the adjoining county of Garrard the record is about the same, while in Rockcastle the proportion to population is the eame.

The disagreement of the doctors, or a portion of them, iu President Garfield's case, continues with unabated vigor and bids fair to seriously iuterfere with the settlement of the expenses incident to the fatal illness. Mrs. Dr. Edson is accused of selling information to reporters for $50 per day, which she emphatically denies and then proceeds to intimate that the doctors were in secret communication with Wall street, and speculated upon the probabilities of the life acd death cf the president. These quarrels are becoming more disgusting than the performances of the assassin during his trial, and should be terminated in a summary manner.

A WORD OF WAB5I&6

The democrats are making a de*perate effort to capture a sufficient number of republican votes from among the yonng men to carry thfi township. Tbey make the cry that their'u is the youog men's ticket. Republicans should not allow themselves to be led astray by any such talk. The coming election is one at which they can neither afford to scratch the ticket ®r swap votes. A full party vote will elect the entire republican ticket by a handsome majority, and it must be done. The ticket is a good one from the candidate for trustee down to the end. Every man is worthy the earnest support cf every member of the party acd should receive it. But aside from this there are other considerations which demand the soccees of the republican township ticket. In May next there will be six councilmen to elect in the city, and it is important that the republicans should be successful. Such snccets will be assured if they carry the township next month. Following the city election comes the county and state election in November. At that time all the county officers and nearly all the stale officers are to be elected, it that time a legislature will be elected that will elect Mr. Voorhees' successor in the United'States senate. A careful view of the situation should convince every republican of the importance of commencing the year's operations in the proper manner. Success cannot be accomplished by scratching the ticket or swapping votes, but it can be achieved by sticking to the ticket clear through. Listen to no propositions to do otherwise. This is a time when friendship should tot be allowed to endanger patty success. Eater

THE YOEKG REPUBLICANS. The Young Men's Republican Club of this city inaugurated the campaign last evening under the most favorable circumstances. Two years ago they commenced with thirteen members. Last night they opened up with more than two ecthueiam was unpromises well for coming contests. The is now short, and it should be of the most tft'ective character. The meeting of last evening should be followed in quick succefsion by others, and aw that the voting men have again put their shoulders to the wheel they should have every enconragment which the oldel-heads can give them. The work of the young men two years ago as was «tuch to ccinmend any work which they mfy undertake in ihe future if they are accorded the proper support. They fully appreciate tho work the iepublican party has before it this year, acd they start out with the determination to wiB. This jear the woik will be easier than it waa two jears ago. Then it was undertaken for the first time, and few had any experience in it. -Now they have the experience of the bast political organization Indiana ever produced, and what is better still, the experience of never suffering defeat. Now that the fight has commenced le't it be rui.hal vigorously, and the republicaua of' this county will score three glorious victories this year.

Scbuckerp, the man who furnished the Garfield letter to the New York gun for publication, has written a leMer to the pnblic, in which he says "Tto or three Washington newspapers having seen fit to make certain statements accusing Mrs. Katharine Chase Sprague of having furnished the eo-called 'Garfield-Rosecrans letter' for publication, it becomes necessary acd proper for ma lo say that I gave that letter to Mr. Dane, without the knowledge or consent cf Mrs. Sprague or oi any other member of the family of the lata chi»f justice. I have not seen Mrs. Sprsgue since June, 1.873, and in the meantime not one ward has passed between us, directly or indirectly, touching General Garfield's letter, or upon any other subject,'' In other words, he doep not feel the least sorry for furnishing for publication a letter marked "personal." Most people difler from bim iu this respect.

A nnvel case is reported from Detroit A young couple were married there in I860, and in 18G9 the wife prccured a divorce on tbe ground of desertion and failure to fupport. The case reappeared in court again on Tuesday last, when the parties presented a petition eetting forth that at the time of the marriage the husbitnd WGS a

je'Ung

man of a roving dispo

sition, but that since that time lie had settled down to business, accumulated property end become a solid citizen with means and ability to provide for his wife in a suitable manner, wherefore they aektd that the dtcree of divorce of thirteen yesr« ago be set aside. The rtquest was greeted, and to make the matter more binding, the couple visited a minister acd were married again.

A Washington lawyer has unearthed an old law, which dates back to 1,722, which prevents an indictment freun being found by the grand jury of the District of Columbia except on an express order of the court, unless the presentment is made on their own knowledge. Should the court hold this law to be good it will call another halt in the star route cases, in which indictments would have to be found over again, causing much delay and an extra outlay of about $20,000. Nothing is said aboiit its efleet on tbe assassin'* case, but it may cause anew trial there also.

Qainiue haa recently taken a sharp advance in price, in consequence of a corner in Peruvian bark in London. For the first time in tbe history tf the trade quinine has become the property of speculators. A syndicate wea formed in the above natned city that last December purchased all the bark then in London, amounting to 27,1' 00 bales, together with ali there was to arrive. Thia put up the price of bark 40 per cent., and quinine om $1.80 to $2.00 per ounce. Ai pretent tbe operators hold 60,COO balee, about two-third» of the entire str-ck in all the markets.

Some idea of the extent of the pension business may be gleaned from the following paragraph in the Woman's Jon real: Twenty-six thousand widows of soldiers and sailors in the last wsr with Great Britain draw pensions every three months with exemplery punctuality. The war ended about sixiy seven yeara ago. and the fact that to many widows cf brave men who followed the flag so long ago yet live is a gratifying proof of the longevity of American women! There is a swindle somewhere. These pensions are probably male pension agents disguised in widows' weeds.

The Washington cerrespondenta find it a very difficult matter to obtain any-in-formation concerning the facts connected with tbe congressional trip to Cleveland on tbe occasion of President Garfield's funeral. The itemized accounts were all in the handa of Congressman Pagft of California, who grouped them together and then bu^d the itemised b'lls. Such i-ction has only intensified the desire of tbe ccuctiy to know the contente erf the destroyed accounts, and every effort will be made to probe the matter to the bottom.

CONGRESS.

The Senate Does a Variety of Business and Gets off Huqh Talk.

Continned Consideration of the Chinese BUI la the House.

THE SERATK.

WASHINGTON, a 22,1882. A number of bills were introduced and referred. The remainder of the time op to 2 o'clock was occuppied in consideration of amendments to the bill to promote the efficiency of the Life Saving Service-and the establishment of additional tali one.

The discussion was Confined to the salaries of surfmen and Superintendents but the bill was not acted upon.

Oning to the sudden illness of Garland, the tariff commission bill was laid aside, and the diplomatic appropriation bill taken up and Senate committee amendments agreed to. These included $90,000 for contingent expenses of the Department of State,

Eeck moved an amendment requiring hereafter that all commercial agencies, whether paid by fees or otherwise, be enumerated, with the compensation in each case, in the annual estimates of the Secretary of State agreed to, and the biil passed.

The House life saving bill then came p. After a long and desultory debate, tbe salaries of Superintendents in districts covering the more dangerous lines of co&st, and reported in the bill at $2,500, were fixed at $1,800, and those in districts reported at $2,000 were graded at $1,500. The bill was finally laid aside without action.

Pending a motion for an executive session, the Senate committee amendments to the coneular ana diplomatic appropriation bill were adopted. They make specific provision for a Minister resident and Consul General at Bolivia, for Charges d'Affairs to Portugal, Denmark, Paraguay, Uruguay and Switzerland, and for Secretariee to the legations to Russia, Austria and Italy also, for Consulates at Panama and Aspinwall, the latter of which the House proposed to consolidate. The existing order in the classification of Consulates is re-establish-ed, and allowances for Consular clerks appropriated in detail instead of in the aggregate. The total of the latter item is reduced ebout $8,000.

After executive session the Senate adjourned.

THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March 22,1882. Resolutions were adopted calling on the Secretary of War for information as to what further relief is necessary for the sufferers from the overflow on the Mississippi.

The Chinese bill was taken up, and Waaburn spoke in favor, claiming that a continuance of Chinese immigration would bring about the greatest of all damages—the degradation of labor. He continued that there was no analogy between emigration from Europe and that from China. It was the part of wisdom not to degrade labor, bat to bring labor and capital in accord.

Kasson, of Iowa, stated that st the proper time he would offer amendments which would make the bill mote acceptable to the average judgment of ths H'iase and country. He objected to the bill as it stood at present, because it was hostile to the civilization of the United States, hostile lo the traditions of the Government, and hostile to our system of deal ing with foreigners. He admitted that the demand of the Pacific coast for restriction of the immigration of Chinese appealed to Congresi and to bim with great force. Was there no middle ground on which Congress could stand that would be in harmony with the history of the country and with the justice and conscience of both sides of the House. He wanted to stop a mass of men coming and changing American labor and life, but he did not favor a proposition which would hunt down any atray Chinaman who might stray acrcBB the border from C-.nada. To him, resembled the law that hunted down the fugitive black mair in days gone by.

Hammond, of Georgia--Is it. not true that up to the passage of the Fourteenth amendment it was a crime for any three black men to come into Indiana.

Kaeson—1 do not want to go back to that infamous system of legislation. Does tbe gentleman? [Applause on the Republican side.]

Hammond—I wanted to point out your hypocrisy. Kaeson—Call it what you please, it was as mean as jou could make it. If the term of suspension were made reasonable, if the period were reduced to ten years, he would vote for the bill, but would do so reluctantly, even then, because he regarded it as a departure from the cardinal principle on which was founded tbe structure of government on this Continent.

Hawk, of Illinois, advocated a limitation of the term 6f snspension to ten years.

Kaeson then offered hi-i amendment limiting the time of suspension to ten years. On motion of Page, the House took a recess until to morrow, Page giving notice that be would, at two o'clock, demand the previous questfon.

Washington, SHIPHERD.

WASHINGTON, March 22.—The examination of Shipherd was resumed this morning. Bhipherd produced a copy of his letter to the President dated April 28th '81, alluded to in his testimony yesterday. In this letter Shipherd states that the interests of his clients in Peru are so great as to entitle them to consider1 ation in the discussion of any plans affecting the future of the prostrate republic. He further Btates that the purpose of this note is that the decision' as to the appointment of ministers to Chili and Peru shall be reserved until thu facts relative to the claims of the Peruvian company shall have been laid before the President. Shipherd states that he had not yet found the letter of May 21sta but had written to his son to make a copy and send to him,and he expected to lay it before the committee in' a few days

Kasson asked if the witness knew any instance in which Hurlbut's official action had been purchased.

Shipherd replied that in tbe statements he made yesterday he spoke from his knowledge of events that occurred many years ago, and which car.e under his notice at the time, and from which he had formed his opinion of arlbut. In connection with this opinion and in further reply to the inquiry he called attention to the decision of the United States supreme court in the case of Clark against the United States in whioh it was shown that General Hurlbut, while in the seivice of the United States at New Orleans, accepted a bribe.

Representative Kasson then asked if in all his (witness's) correspondence with General Hurlbut th'e latter ever intimated that he desired to have an interest in the Peruvian claim.

Answer—No, sir, he never did. Witness stated in farther reply that no officer of the United 8tates in the diplomatic service or otherwise ever expressed any deiire or listened to any proposals for an interest in the claim of the Peruvian Company.

Witness was then asked by Kasson, "Who now holds the Landreau claim?" and replied: "It is now held by Ameri cans, but I could not without violating private confidences disclose the names of the parties." The legal name of his (Shipherd's) company, the witness stated, is The Peruvian Company," incorporated under the laws of Georgia in 1870 aud every shaie of stock is held in thi3 country.

Witness declined to 9tate how much had been paid in for the stock or from what parties the claim was purchased, or whether the original parties were paid for their claim in stock of the new company, or whether the company has ever taken possession of any property in Pern, or whether they have a resident agent in Peru. Witness stated that the company have notified Peru of their claim but never received any reply in acknowledgement of the claim. The Peruvian company never had any official correspondence with the Peruvian government, whatever. Advices the company has received have been received from private sources.

Representative Kasson explained the object of his inquiries to be the discovery whether the. allegation on which the investigation is based, the the Peruvian company was purely a speculative enterprise dopendent for its sucoess entirely upon the intervention of this government, is a true one, or whether the claim of the company is a solid one and its business such as American citizens have a perfect right to engage in.

Shipherd then went into a long explanation of his connection with the Peruvian company which began in March, 1881, when he became counoil for his clients who purchased this claim. Witness recognized the magnitude of the in» terests involved and opened negotiations with Governor Boutwell with a view to securing his aid as council upon all matters affecting international questions. Governor Boutwell examined the papers and after three weeks called upon witness and stated that the claim was good and he was prepared to lay it before the President. Several conferences ensued as to what counsel should be employed, but at no time was anything said in favor of employing any man on account of his official station or relations. Witness discussed with Gov. Boutwell the question of renewing through the Secretary of State the negotiations which had been begun with the Executive an# suggested that Gov. Boutwell should undertake to open negotiations. About that time, however, it was suggested that a certain senator (whose name witness declined to give to the committee) being a warm personal friend of the Secretary would perhaps be the best person for that delioate mission. Gov. Boutwell approved it and shortly afterwards witness had an interview with the senator at his (witness') office in New York lasttng about four hours and in which all the papers were submitted to the senator. Witness asked him it he would accept a retainer in the case as counsel and the senator replied with vehemency, "No, sir, under no conceivable circumstances. You can readily see this matter mijht come before Congress in some shape for its action, and it would be manifestly improper," The Senator added that we had no need of counsel in the sense I bad mentioned that vte had simply to lay our case before the Secretary and President. The whole country was interested and it was his duty as a Senator to further the interests of our company. He was then on his way from his home in New Hampshire (st this point there were visible signs of amusement in view of witness' repeated refusals to disclose the name of the Senator), to Washington and he stated that he wouli be pledged to bring about for me an interview with the Secretary of State.

Witness was asked how he came to obtain a charter under the laws of Georgia, and explained that in looking about for the most favorable conditions he beard of a charter which had some time since

sen granl Georgia, and which contained such an extraordinary advantage in the features of allowing the establishment of branches at any points in this country or abroad that they decided to obtain this charter. The company is now acting under this charter and stock has been regularly issued, and under the clause permitting branches tbey have established the headquarters in New York city.

Witness was again asked if he still had objections to giving the name of the sen. ator and replied, "Since so much has been said in this connection, perhaps it would be better I should right here and now give the entire history of the connection of this senator with the Pertly ian company. I have already spoken of his relusal to take a retainer. At a subsequent date, having been advised by the Secretary of State and several friends, both in the Senate and House that this case could never come before Congress, but "would be settled by the State Department, the Senator did take a fee as attorney for the company and acted in that capacity for nearly four months. His entire connection with the esse was dur ing the recess of Congress. Shortly before the reassembling of Congress in December he had another interview with me and stated that he was satisfied the questions involved in the affairs of the company would come -before Congress in a manner involving legislative action and he ootild not therefore reconcile his position as counsel for the company upon whose alfairs he might be called upon to pass in the capacity of Senator of. the United States. He therefore returned the amount of the fee he had taken, not even reserving what he expended in traveling expenses in the interests of the company.* From that point all the connection of the Senator with the affairs of the Peruvian company absolutely ceased.

Shipherd said his only correspondence with foreign Ministers besides. Hurlbut was two letters to General Kilpatrick, which were not answered, in relation to the possibility of establishing commercial relations between the company and Bolivia. No proposition was made to General Adams to take an interest in the company.

During the line of questions Representative Kasson said, "As you have mentioned General Kilpatrick's name and he is now dead, will you state exactly what correspondence passed between you and whether he ever, in any way, intimated any desire or intention to further th# plans of your company, to which he responded in the negative.

Witness was then asked if any other perssn holding any official relations to the United States government or asy officer under the government had been paid any retainer by the Peruvian company, and replied that to the best of his knowledge and belief but one person holding an office under the government had taken a tee from the company and that was the Collector of the port of New York, Wm. H. Robertson, who had been paid a fee for services rendered the company in the capacity of attorney.

WHAT EOBERTSON SAYS.

Naw YOBK, March 22.—Collector Robertson, on being interviewed iq regard to the statement made by Shipherd before the Foreign Affairs Committee, to day, said "I do not wish to make any statement one way or the other until" I have seen the full report of the proceeding."

THE CABINET ilAKEBS.

WASHINGTON, March 22.—Talk of Senator Teller's appointment as Secretary of the Interior continue?, and sopie assert that the gomination will be made to-day or to-morrow. A Senator fieked Teller, so it is said, why he did not burry his appointment up, and have it done witb, and he replied that he was waiting to hear from Colorado. Western Senators generally believe that Teller his been urged for this appointment, and that the President promised to make it, but some of them do not believe the mutter hat been definitely settled, or that the posi tion has been formally offered to Teller. Some arsert the belief that the influence of Chaffee's friends is pushing Teller for the Cabinet, with tbe purpose of having Chaffee succeed Teller in the Senate. This could not be accomplished, of course, without the consent of Governor Pitkin, of Colorado, who wtfftld h*.ve in his hands the appointment of Teller's successor. Strong pressure has been brought upon the Adminis tration in favor of Chaffee's appointment a8 Secretary of the Interior, but this was bitterly fought by the Republicans of Colorado. General Grant, who is counted as one of Chaffee's best backer?, is now here, and Chaffee is to arrive here to morrow. Some of Kirkwood's friends now admit that they are satisfied that he is to retire. Teller is spoken of as entirely acceptable to Cameron, Logan, and other stalwarts, and as a straw indicating which way the wind blows, it is mentioned that, prominent staltrarts have been holding frequent conversations with Senator Teller during the past several days, and his relations with them appear to have grown more intimate than before.

As an indication of the extent to which the report of Teller's appointment as Secretary of the Interior is credited in the Senate, it can be stated that fifteen Republican Senators have applied for his seat, which is one of the most desirable in the chamber.

MOBE OF IT.

WASHINGTON,-Merch 22.— A report has been circulating that the nomination of Senator Teller as Scretary of the Interior is contingent upon the agreement of Governor Pilkin, of Colorado, to appoint exSenator Chaffee to the vacancy caused in the Senate by Teller's acceptance. Colorado men say that if Teller's appointment to the Cabinet depends on Chaffee'* selection to succeed him, he will not become one of the President's constitutional advisors, because Governor Pitkin is a candidate for the Senate, and would not appoint a man who would be likely to interfere with his prospects to secure tha Senatorsbip for the full term beginning March 4th, 1883. Teller iB alleged to have said to-day that whether he would accept the Interior Department would depend npon advices expected from Denver. This remark has given credence lo the reports above alluded lo. Chaffee is expected to arrive here to-mor-row. Probably the problem will be solved* shortly after his arrival.

It is asserted that Wm. E. Chandler will be nominated to the Senate for Solicitor General. Chandler believes he cm now be confirmed.
