conviction?, dealing justly with opposing views, ■who, in all ages of the world, in every field of human progress, had led the way. In conclusion, Mr. Voorhees said: “As long as American history treasure* up pure lives and faithful pnblia services; as long as public and private virtue, stainless and without blemish, is revered, so long will the name of Thomas A. Hendricks be cherished by the American people us an example worthy of emulation. Monuments of brass and marble will lift their heads to heaven in honor of his name; but a monument more precious to his memory and more valuable to the world has already been grounded in the hearts of people he served so lor.g, so faithfully, and with such signal ability. In tho busy harvest of death of the year 1885 there was path ©red into eternity no nobler spirit, no higher intelligence, no fairer soul.” Mr. Hampton followed. “When death,” he said, “laid its baud on Thomas A. Hendricks, Vice-president of the United States, we had a new and fearful illustration of tho truth of the old adage, ‘Death loves a shining mark.’ Mr. Hendricks was best loved wherever ho was best known. Crowned with almost every civic honor which a grateful people could bestow, blest by a domestic happiness as perfect as it was beautiful, did, indeed, offer a shining mark to the “Tueatiabie archer/ when one of the great actors in the political arena fell. In the presence of death, friends and foes alike recognised tho fact. The scenes around the death-bed proved the brotherhood of mankind, and showed that ‘one

touch of nature made the whole world kin/ This thought had made adecp impression on the speaker's mind, and that impression,” continued Mr. Hampton, “was indelibly fixed by the extraordinary spectacle beheld at the funeral of General Grant. We all remember the imposing and touching ceremonies of that mournful occasion, and certainly no one who witnessed them could ever forget them. But the feature that struck me as the most significant, the most impressive, was the fact that among those who bore the body of the groat Captain of the Union armies to the grave, were Confederate soldiers, who, a few brief years ago, were his mortal enemies. Democrats and Republicans—men who wore tho blue and men who wore the gray—met at this tomb to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. Here, to-day. while ourselves doing honor to the memory of our late Vice president, we see exhib ited the same kind and generous feeling which marked the obsequies of the dead ex-President If, then, our political and personal animosities ceaso at the grave, should we not be tolerant and charitable in the judgments we pass on our contemporaries, even though they are our political opponents? All of us, sooner or later, must claim from the living the tender recognition which wo now bestow on the dead, for our hearts, like muffled drums, are beating funeral marches to the grave." Mr. Sherman bore testimony to the marked ability with which Mr. Hendricks had always maintained his opinions. He had been ready and courteous in debate, never violent in manner or sentiment. Ho had satisfied Congress without irritating adversaries. His arguments were always clear and lucid. After the war his ground was that, as a question of law, tho war could not, and had not, disturbed the relations of that States. To use his own words: “Whon peace came it found a State with its constitution actually unrepealed and in full force, holdiug that State to the Federal Union.” Hie principles, Mr. Sherman added, were openly avowed and ably defended. He carried none of the bitterness of politics into his private life. He was a man easy of approach, affable to all, the best type of an American citizen. Mr. Saulsbury characterized the deceased as a man of fine intellect and wide culture, who for more than a quarter of a century had been known as a statesman of large and commanding influence, highly esteemed not only by all who had the honor to know him personally, but by millions' of his fellow-citizens who knew him only by reputation, earned by long, faithful and eminent public service. Mr. Saulsbury expressed the belief that no greater safety could be found for the future of our Republic than that it should find its future statesmen as true in their devotion to free institutions as Mr. Hendricks had been. Mr. Evarts expressed his pleasure at the fact that he had been asked to participate in an expression of the feelings of the Senate on this occasion. It so happened that he had a very good acquaintance with Mr. Hendricks, dating from an early period in his publie career. Many years ago Mr. Hendricks had been pointed out to him in court as a man who. it was natural to

expect, would be a future and probably successful aspirant to the presidency of the United States. In the course of the impeachment trial ot President Johnson, Mr. Evarts had opportunity to observe the courage and the constitutional valuo of Mr. Hendricks’s opinions. The speaker thought now, as he thought then, that amoug all the eminent men who took part iu the debates of that time, no man appeared to better advantage in composure of spirit, calmness of judgment and circumspection of deliberation. He could avoid extravagances, and eould skillfully draw the line between fidelity to the Constitution and adhesion to the supremacy of party. As to Mr. Hendricks's partisanship—of which something has been said—Mr. Evarts could find in history na other mode of conducting the political affairs es a great and free people, except by great and firm parties. He believed, therefore, that steadfast and intrepid adhesion to party was a merit. He had observed among ibe most prominent characteristics of Mr. Hendricks that he was al ways governed by strong inborn convictions. ‘‘These eulogies in the presence of death,” said Mr. Evarts, “are formal and commonplace. But death, however frequently brought to the notice of mortal man, is never formal nor commonplace. However men may

lire in the market place, m the crowded court, in 16 Senate Chamber, at the bead of armies, and 5 the objects of popular applause, a man always ;es alone; whether it meets oue in the palace of ■"* king, or in the cabin of the poor, the supreme went, and when the mortal puts on immortality, it swallows up all incidents and circumstances. Urom these contemplations, Mr. President, it seems to me, that the wisest man gains no wisdom, and tho boldest man feels some tremor in the presence of the invincible antagonist” Mr. Ransom believed it almost impossible, at this time, to measure the worth to our country of a great character likethatof thelare Vice president We were yet t-oo near his 'fe to write his -history. He had lived forty-three years conspicuously before the public, and had always proved himself the earnest, faithful champion of the people’s rights. He had always proved himself a lover of his whole country and its liber- >!■ rTn '° Sottthern Stales, in this emergency, f It uu overflowing sympathy and ttrir Northern Bisters. “Thank Almighty Gou, *>3td Mr- Hanson, “that the everlasting covenant . 1 * s established in our hearts, aod through tho C. 40 * 10 } 3 of this sorrow we can behold the bond that i? nevsr to be broken.”

Mr. Spooner said: “He was a man of strong ceriviction9, and had little respect for those who were not similarly earnest. He had shown that, above all thing*, he was no ‘trimmer’ in politics. Mr. Hendricks was heart and soul a Democrat. He thoroughly believed in his party and its principles: indeed*l think if he might give direction t© our affairs to day, he would bid us say that be was a partisan Democrat. To him no political partisanship, honorable in its methods, was offensive. In party he saw only the instrumentality through which, alone, might be wrought cut the triumph of bis principles. In active, faithful, honorable party service, he saw, therefote, devotion to principle, not mere lust for office. He believed that the party clothed by popular will with the responsibility of idministration, should everywhere intrust the execution of its policies to those who were in political sympathy with it, and who had adhered to it continuously and completed its success. He believed that those of the ruling party who had done the most and sacrificed the most iu honorable, active effort should, if fit for public duty, be by that party everywhere first called to the public service. He bad a tender feeling in his heart for the man who for twenty years, in sunshine and storm, aad led bis party again and again to certain defeat; who had kept alive its organization in every ••itate, and county and town, and who, by un-v.-averiog vigilance, had made possible its ultimate success; and he could not brook with any leeree of patience tbe suggestions, in the hour es hie party’s triumph, that such men should be reproachfully termed “politicians” and denied recognition lest some political {esthete should say *it is a reward for party service.’ The imputation that he was a spoilsman rather angered than grieved Mr. Hendricks, for he knew it came from those who had either been of a hostile camp, or, if -of his own. had been wont to linger in the shade and slumber while he and the ‘boys,’ as he sometime* loved to call tho party workers, had borne the heat, indduat, and burden of the battle. Spoilsman or not, he went down to hie grave loved, trusted ana mourned by hie party, and I dare to believe that

tho element of party fealty which brought to him this reproach will not cause his memory to suffer with the great mass of his opponents. There is a melancholy comfort in the manner of bis death. He died as one might wish to die—as one well prepared to go. God's finger touched him, and he slept” [This was Mr. Spooner’s maiden speech in the Senate, and attracted general attention, not only for its directness and force, but for the grace and feeling of his delivery.] Mr. Vest took a melancholy pleasure in speaking of Mr. Hendricks’s character here, where he first knew him, and learned to love him as a friend. In Mr. Hendricks he had seen the incarnation of the vital spirit of our government, the sovereignity of the people; he was nearer the heart* of the masses than any man of his time. He was a partisan in the highest and best sense of the term, because he believed that devotion to party was necessary to the best interests of his country. He had no respect for the political aestheticism which could not distinguish friend from foe. Asking and giving no quarter, he did not sprinkle rose water on the enemies of his party, or give sweetmeats to the wolves ready to spring at his throat. He fell suddenly, as falls the armed chief on some stricken field, and it is better one pang, one throb, than weeks of slow decay. Pore in life, prepared for death, his career rounded and complete, crowned with the love and respect of his countrymen, and breathing with his last words the name of one dearer to him than all else, our leader passed into that shawdowy realm where his spirit waifs her coming.

SENATOR HARRISON’S ADDRESS. Mr. President—-The principal incidents in the public career of Mr. Hendricks have been so fully and so eloquently depicted by those who have preceded me ss to make it not only unnecessary, but even inappropriate, that I should attempt anything like a biographical sketch of the distinguished dead. A brief allusion to some of the incidents of our long acquaintance, and to some of his personal and professional traits, as I observed them, must constitute my tribute to his memory. Ilis political course was a long and conspicuous one. had a very strong and enduring hold upon a wide and widening circle of political friends. It cannot be safely said that his popularity had culminated at the time of his death, for we cannot tell or read the future. But it can safely be said that it had not waned. Ho seemed never to have been more loved and admired by his political friends than upon that day when death's sudden message separated him from them. The fact that he maintained so long, as well in reverse as in success, the clear leadership of his party in the State of Indiana—that in its extreme needs it always called for him —is convincing proof that he possessed in a high degree those qualities of mind and disposition that attract the love of men, and inspire hope and confidence. He was not aggressive as a leader, but always met an assault with vigor and courage. He was shrewd, prudent and quiet, rather than rash and boisterous, in his methods. He did not make himseif offensive by a too open assertion or display of it, but molded and guided by suggestion rather than by deci’ee. No leader was ever more accessible to friends of every decree—none ever accepted counsel more kindly, or more wisely and cordially applauded tho efforts of tho aspiring young men who delighted to follow his political fortunes. Ris manner as a public speaker was animated and graceful. In style he was cloar, often pungent and always persuasive. Large audiences always assembled to hear him, and if he did not win over his adversaries, ho left them kindly disposed, and always strengthened and consolidated his own party. More than once he was called by the unanimous voice of his party to accept a nomination that he did not want. He could not resist the friendly urgency of his party associates, and yielded his preferences to theirs, at great personal inconvenience and sacrifice. My first vote was cast against Mr. Hendricks, as the candidate of his party for Congress, in the year 1854. The first joint meeting with a political opponent in which I was ever engaged, was with Mr. Hendncks. He was the Democratic candidate for Governor in 18G0, and I, then a very young man, was the Republican candidate for reporter of the decisions of the Supreme Court. By chance, during the campaign of that year we met at Rockville, and found that our meetings were announced for the same hour and place. It was arranged that we should hold a joint meeting. Mr. Hendricks spoke first, and I well recall the effect of his persuasive address upon a responsive audience and upon myself, as I sat before him, waiting, in great trepidation for my

time to come. When he concluded, Mr. Hendricks, with great kindness, requested his friends to remain and hear me, and often afterwards alluded in very kind terms to my youthful performance. It was an illustration of a prominent trait of his character and disposition, to encourage with kindly praise tho efforts of young men. From that time forward in every political campaign we were both upon the stump in Indiana—the earnest advocates of the political principles of our respective parties. He thought tbe politics I advocated were adverse to the best interests of the country, and said so, and with equal plainness and sincerity I criticised his public acts and political views. But I am not aware that either ever charged the other with overstepping the fair limits of public discussion. It was as a practising iawyer that I know Mr. Hendricks best. Often associated with him in the trial of causes, I have seen him in the freedom of office consultation, and have listened to his arguments in court from the stand point of an associate. Often upon adverse sides I have had occasion to feel the force of bis simple and effective eloquence upon a jury. He was renoarkakably urbane and courteous

in his manner, as well to -the members of the bar as to the court. Rarely out of temper, be was yet firm and courageous in the defense of his own rights and these of his client. I saw him once conduct with unflinching courage a civil cause for damages, growing out of the trial during the war, before a military commission. of a citizen accused of disloyal practices. The Supreme Court had decided tho imprisonment of his client to have been illegal, and his technical right to damages wag clear. But the defendants were soldiers, some of. them wounded soldiers, who had acted under military orders in the trial of his client. No advocate ever had a stronger adverse current of popular opinion and smpathy to stem that did Mr. Hendricks iu this cage. A verdict for more than nominal damages was hopeless, and yet through a long trial Mr. Hendricks never faltered, but with the greatest tact and courage demanded of court and jury full damages for the long imprisonment his client had suffered. Through his long public career Mr. Hendricks always maintained his connection with the law firm of which he had so long been a member, tiZsept when holding an office the duties of which wore incompatible with any professional employment Tbe profession was more to him than a livelihood. He was a thoughtful student of the philosophy of the law, and a kindly student of human nature. The springs of human motive and action are uncovered to no one as they are to a lawyer, and to Mr. Hendricks this study did not end with the demands of a cause. He once said: “The law to me has always been a fascinating business. I never go into a courtroom to try a case but it seems picturesque ground to me. I like to watch a case begin and expand, and see the various kinds of characters that attend it.” Judge James S. Frazer, formerly one of the judges of the Supreme Court of Indiana, said of Mr. Hendricks, at the memorial meeting of the bar of the State: “And yet he could pass from the floor of the Senate into the forum of justice and boa giant there. I witnessed this once, with admiring

wonder, in our own Supreme Court, while a member of it, and heard from him what the Judge* all regarded as being, in both matter and manner, the most masterly argument made in that court during a term of service of six years. There was no audience to inspire him—not more than half a dozen persona and the four judges. Popular applause was not to be won by the effort. The great lawyer argued like a lawyer should before a court, the questions of law in his cause. That was all. But it was much as attesting the manner of man he was, as one of our profession” In his private life Mr. Hendricks was even more fortunate than in his public life. Tbe circle of bis friendship was wide, for it went beyond the lines of party. Those who sharply criticised his public acts found in his private life nothing to condemn and much to admire. Personal integrity, great kindness of heart, a wide hnman sympathy, pure home life, were virtues that all accorded to him. Bis wife, whom he wooed and wed when the first email gains of his profession gave promise of a safe future, walked with him in loving affection to the end. The vow “till death do ns part” had been kept In the first year of his term as Vice-president, in the midst of preparation* to resume in this

body the dnties of his office, filled with pleasant anticipations of social intercourse, suddenly, as in the twinkling of an eye, the messenger of death called him. And vet Mr. Hendricks had not been without warning that death mieht come to him suddenly. A slight stroke of paralysis several years ago, excited the solicitude of his friends, and no doubt turned his own thoughts towards the solemn hour. He did not, however, allow this danger to cloud his spirits or to drive him from the activities of life. Indeed, the last year of his life seemed to be unusually full of gladness and labor. -It seemed to him bettor to expend the days that remained in useful labor rather than in vain complaining. —“So at the post Where He hath set me in His providence I chose for one to meet him face to face. No faithless servant, frightened from my task, But ready when the Lord of the harvest calls.

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Fred Schmidt, a Memphis groceryman, was burned to death, yesterday morning, during a fire which destroyed his store. Jacob Barth, the teamster employed by Maxvroii Bros., of Chicago, and who was shot on Monday morning in an affray with strikers, died yesterday afternoon. A local physician is authority for the statement that there are thirteen cases of sickness from eating diseased pork, at Rib Lake, Wifi. The cases are severe. A dispatch from Griffin, Ga., reports the death, by Shooting, of Mrs. Daniel, by her husband, who had eiopod with his sister-in-law. His wife was in pursuit of him at the time. John Warburton, of the firm of Warburton Brothers, prominent grocers and coal dealers, of Lowell, Mass., was arrested yesterday for forging another man's name to an assignment for wages due. Information comes from Pocahontas, Randolph county, Arkansas, that on Sunday night, as Special Constable Steve Dame was bringing to that place a negro prisoner, Sam Evans, alias Sam Patch, whom ho had under arrest for attempted rape, and when within about one mile of town, the negro broke for the woods. The officer fired, killing his man as he ran. At 7:39 o'clock Monday evening, the southbound passenger train on the Southern division of the Illinois Central railroad.' was wrecked thirty miles below Cairo, 111. The locomotive and all the cars, except two sleepers were ditched, and the engineer, William Buffin, of Water Valley, Miss., was instantly killed. The accident was caused by the removal of a rail by somo unknown cause. Samuel Bingham, cashier of the Windham National Bank, at Williraantic, Conn., was brought before United States Commissioner Tenns’- yesterday, charged with taking heavy commissions on paper bought of James D. Fish, late president of the Marine Bank of New York. The directors have made an examination of the bank’s accounts, and pronounce them all right the hearing was postponed until Feb. 16. Charles Howard, a colored watchman in the Marietta & North Georgia railroad shops, in Marietta, was brutally murdered on Monday night. Tho assassins tried to conceal the death by setting fire to the body. The clothes of the victim were burned and his flesh badly charred, one hand being completely burned off. A clew has been obtained to the murderers, and the sheriff and a posse have started out to capture them. The Cleveland police have as yet been unable to find a satisfactory clew to the person who attempted to blow up Police Officer Corner's house with dynamite last night. A neighbor saw a man going out of Corner’s yard about 10:80, an hour before the explosion. This man got into a baggv and drove away. The fuse of the cartridge was three feet lone, and it is supposed that it burned slowly, at least an hour before the explosion.

An ecclesiastical court met at Atlanta, Ga., yesterday, to try Rev. James J. Armstrong, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, charged with immoral conduct while in Cincinnati several months ago. The sessiou was in private. The time was spont in reading interrogatories of the prosecution. E. F. Mann, of Cincinnati, who wrote the article exposing Mr. Armstrong, is present to testify. The trial will probably last two or three days. A San Antonio special says: “Officers to-day arrested a finely-dressed man who registered at the Menger Hotel as W. N. Gratz-iTlie detectives state thnt Ills true name is Gratz. He is charged with unlawfully obtaining twenty thousand dollars’ worth of jewelry from the Chicago firms of Charles Gratz, William Smith & Cos., and Louis Straussburg. After disposing of the goods he fled to Texas several weeks ago. He will be taken back to Chicago, and will start to-morrow.”

A gang of robbers, headed by “Shenandoah Red,” a notorious outlaw, broke into the station of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company at Somerset, Pa., Monday night, and carried* off SIOO in cash and jewelry valued at SSOO. Officers Shepherd and Berner started in pursuit of the thieves, and last evening ran down “Shenandoah Red" at a point near Johnstown. The desperado fought desperately, and Officer Berner was seriously injured. The thief was captured and the money and jewelry recovered. Flood Damage in California. Stockvon, Jan. 20.—The Mass tract, comprising about three thousand acres of wheat, was flooded to-day by the giving way of a floodgate. The damage is estimated at about $75,000. The water about Roberts’s island, which is protected by levees, rose nine feet above the level of tbe land. The pressure was too much for the levees to withstand, and a break occurred th.ongh which tiie water rushed and soon converted the 3,000 acres of wheat and orchards into a miniature lake. The damage here is estimated at $350,000. Roberta island is divided into three divisions, witti cr33 levees. A break Las occurred iu the middle division. Fears are entertained that th 9 cross levees which divide the upper and lower portions from the middle section of the island will give way. If the middle section is not soon repairod there is little hope of stopping the break for a week, though the most atrenuous effort* are being made to do so.

Business Embarrassment®. Special to the Indianapolis Joersa!. Martinsviwlk, Ind., Jan. 26.—Jacob Green, tbs leading clothier of this city, has failed. Yesterday he executed a mortgage on his stock in favovof his aunt,. Mrs. Levi, of Indianapolis, for $3,080. His creditors soon heard of tbe move, and hurried here, thick aud fast. Louis Dessaur, of Cincinnati, on the claim that tke mortgagees fraudulent, ordered an execution to-da3 T ANARUS, and a deputy United States marshal of Indianapolis closed hi doors. The amount! of his liabilities is not known, but is supposed to be about $6,000: assets, $3,000. The failure has created considerable of a sensation. Charges Against Consul Greenbsnm. San Francisco* Jan. 26.— 1 t is stated here today that one of the most serious charges brought agaiußt United States Consul Greenbaum, at Apia, Samoa, oa the petition te Secretary Bayard, which asks for his removal, is contained in the affidavit of a Chinese merchant, Ah Su, who swears that Mr. Greenbaum tried to make arrangements with him whereby the Chinese could be brought from China to Samoa and furnished with certificates there which would permit them to enter the United States. A Chinaman was to be charged SIOO, and the amount was to be equally divided between-Ah Su and Greenbaum. Steamship New*. Glashow, Jan. 26.—Arrived: Elvsaia, from New York.

NATIONAL CAPITAL TOPICS. [Concluded from First Page, j gineer Spesr, of the navy. Kenny was an officer of the Union navy, and served with credit throughout the war. He was removed on May 7, 1885, and E. A. Butt, an ex-rebel soldier, was appointed in his place. “Charles M. Clark, clerk in the same department of the yard, was appointed by Engineer Speer in 1870. Mr. Clark was taken prisoner while tatteoding Union wounded soldiers on the battlefield of Bull Run, in July, 1861, and was confined in Libby prison. Ho afterward served in the Union army, and was one of the most competent clerks in the Government service. He was relieved May 7, 1885, and his place given to an ex-confederate. “W. H. Ryder, rigger, was appointed by the Secretary of the Navy in 1877. He served in the Union army during the war, and has an excellent record, both as a soldier and employe. He was removed on April 27, 1885, and J. W. Thompson, an ex-confederate, was appointed in his place. “A. C. Fuller, a laborer in the paint shop, who lost an arm in the Union army, has been discharged. He was receiving the munificent sum of $1.50 a day.” “Were any historical inscriptions obliterated by order of the commandant, as is alleged?” “The inscription on the dry-dock engine which replaced the ouo destroyed by the rebels in 1862, has been obliterated since Commodore Truxton took charge, and by his order. The dry dock was blown up and set on fire, but the flames were extinguished by the Union forces before it was consumed. As for the cannon, they were guns bearing inscriptions commemorating American victories in the revolutionary war, and not in the war of the rebellion. In that respect the allegation is incorrect. THE SENATE’S DEMAND. The Cabinet Considers tho Matter, but Fails to Reach a Conclusion. Washington, Jan 26.—The Cabinet meeting to-day was attended by all the members except the Postmaster-general, who is suffering from a cold. The session lasted about three hours, tho principal part of which time was devoted to considering the action of tho Senate in executive session yesterday, in making a formal “demand” of the Attorney-general for copies of all papers in his department relating to the recent change in the office of district attorney for the southern district of Alabama. A general discussion ensued, and showed a slight division of sentiment as to the proper policy to be adoDted by the President in this particular case, which is generally regarded as an issue, and the action on which will necessarily establish a precedent. No action was had on the proposition of compliance or non-compliance with the request of the Senate, and the exact form of answer to bo made to the communication of the Senate was left open for future consideration.

Washington, Jan. 26.— The Secretary of the Treasury to-day transmitted to the Senate his reply to the resolution calling for information respecting the payment of salaries to collectors of internal revenue not confirmed by the Senate. He says that, since March 1, 1879, payments of salary have been made to ninety-five collectors of internal revenue not confirmed by the Senate, and that seventy of the ninety-five to whom such payments wore made had, at the time of said payments, been designated to perform the duties of other collectors suspended by the President during a recess of the Senate, under the authority conferred by Section 1768 of the Revised Statutes. Arguing for Admission of Dakota. Washington, Jau. 20. —Judge Moody was heard by the House committee on territories today upon the proposition to divide the Territory of Dakota. He followed the same line of argument pursued by him at his previous bearing. He disclaimed any personal interest in the division of the Territory on the forty-sixth parallel. He said Mr. Johnson was a land speculator, who wanted a division north and south in order to bring his lands near the capital of the new State. Mr. McDonald, a banker of Pierre, D. TANARUS., spoke a few minutes in support of the views expressed by Judge Moody. The Arrears of Pension Act. Washington, Jan. 26. —The House committee on invalid pensions to day had under consideration a proposition to extend the limit of the arrears of pension to 1888. Mr. Matson, chairman of the committee, said Representative Randall had told him that if the bill became a law it would take every dollar out of the Treasury. The committee therefore postponed further coneideratJon of the bill until Friday, when Representatives Morrison and Randall will be heard by the committee on the probable cost of the measure.

General and Personal. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 26,—1t was stated to-day, by a member of the Senate committee on Judiciary, that it was altogether unlikely that the nomination of C. R. Pollard, of Delphi, to be Associate Jostiee of Montana, would be confirmed. To-day’s New York Tribune republishes the sensational charges made against Pollard, relating to his practices as a lawyer. Pollard is now here. A pension examining board is to be organized at Rushville. Senator Voorhees has written for names of proner men to have appointed. Tuesday, Feb. 2, has been fixed as the day upon which to deliver eulogies on the late Mr. Hendricks in the House. D. S. Alexander and wife left here to-night for their home at Buffalo. Mrs. Alexander has been greatly improved, by the medical treatment she received here. Jas. R. McKee and wife, who have been for some time visiting Mrs. McKee’s parents, Senator and Mrs. Harrison, will leave for their home at Indianapolis on Thursday. M. S. Bright, of Indianapolis, is at the Riggs. In the Supreme Court of the United States, today. the Chicago case of Joseph C. Mackin and Wm. J. Gallagher vs. tho United States was postponed until the first Monday in March next. Secretary and Mrs. Man nine gave a dinner, this afternoon, in honor of the President and his Cabinet. Tbe remains of the late Representative Joseph Rankin left here this morning for Wisconsin, on a special trhin. They were accompanied by Senators Sawyer, Black barn and Jones of Arkansas, and Representatives Bragg, Vanschaick, Guenther, Carleton, Henderson and Johnson. Assistant Secretary Fairchild has instructed the collector of customs at New York to admit free of duty, a portrait of the late General Grant, painted in Paris, by Mr. Healey, an American artist, and imported by Mrs. Grant Enstis’s resolution declaring it to be the opinion of Congress that the bonds payable on the

Ist of February should be paid in ailver, was not taken up by the Senate finance committee today. The next regnlar committee meeting does not take place until next Tuesday. There is, therefore, no prospect of action by the committee before the payment of the bonds in question. Joe Howard, the newspaper correspondent, has been ordered to Washington for the Herald, his instructions having been cabled from Paris by Mr. Bennett.

SAYING WASHINGTON. General Wallace’s Aconsations of Treachery Against General Halleck. Philadelphia Press. General Hallock, whom one of President Lincoln’s few errors of judgment placed in command of all the armies, had few friends in life and fewer still in death; but while his military incapacity and injustice to Grant, which might have deprived the Nation of the services of the man who eventually won its victories, have been established beyond controversy, it has remained for Gen. Lew Wallace to accuse him of direct treachery to the Union. Wallace has declared, in substance, that Halleck desired that the confederate general, Jubal Early, should capture Washington m July, 1864, in order to discredit Grant, who had been advanced to the position from which Halleck was deposed, and that to secure his ends Halleck hampered the movements of the troops, who, on July 9, under Wallace’s command, held Early at Monocacy long enough to save Washington. Wallace has so far produced only circumstantial proof of his impeachment of Halleck's patriotism, but be has made no statement immediately touching upon the battle and its results that is not literally true Exception, however, may be taken to his designation of it as a Union victory. It was such only in the sense that Wallace accomplished his purpose of blocking Early’s march upon Washington until veteran troops could be hurried thither to man the Northern defenses in place of the few raw recruits and half crippled invalids who were all the availables that could be summoned to the guns when the confederate leader rushed down the Shenandoah Valley and took Harper’s Ferry. In any other sense Wallace was defeated, for he was driven off the field and left his wounded and his stores in the hands of the enemy.

How could it have heen otherwise? He had about 6,000 good troops of the Sixth corps and some 3,000 Ohio and Maryland 100-days men, who had never before seen a rebel with a gut. Many of these emergency soldiers were plucky enough, and Wallace has been somewhat sharply criticised for not throwing them into the thick of of the fight, but he thought they could not be trusted to stand fire, and so their participation in the battle was merely that of a reserve, which warmed its muskets with a little volley-firing at the confederates toward the close of the day. Wallace was at afnrther disadvantage in artil lery. He had Alexander’s Maryland Battery, which did no notable execution, and Griffin’s Battery, of the Sixth Corps—magnificent cannon eers—who made every shot do its appointed duty. But all this was weakness in comparison with the 20,000 veteran infantry, plentifully backed by artillery and cavalry, that Early brought into what came very near being a military promenade to Washington. These were mostly Jackson’s men—the “Stonewall” soldiers and “foot cavalry" of the Confederacy, than whom better troops never faced a foe. Lank, grim, saturnine and gray-bearded Jubal Early was their idol after Jackson, and he had swung them from Port Republic northward, overrun Gen. Max Weber at Harper’3 Ferry and turned southeastward in t.he direction of Baltimore and Washington with an orderly precipitancy and vigor that recalled the genius of the leader who had died at Chancellorsville fifteen months previous. Wallace had to be equally expeditious. It was his business to delay Early for twenty-four hours at any sacrifice, and that he did so, must be to his lasting credit. After the capture of Harper’s Ferry he was compelled to concentrate what troops he could muster at whatever point might be most suitable for inviting the enemy to combat. It was perfectly well understood that Early knew that Washington was practically defenseless that it had been stripped bare of seasoned troops to aid Grant, then on his flanking movement around Petersburg and Richmond, and that it Wallace could not hold him back until the Nineteenth Corps, which had been brought up from Louisiana, could be ordered at Fortress Monroe to proceed to Washington, the rebels would walk into the national capital and achieve all that was possible in suoh n splendid triumph. Wallace was enabled to gather, in the first days of the first week of July, the hundreddays men and a few other regiments outside of Frederick City. He was waiting for Ricketts’s division of the Sixth Corps, and had out scouts entirely familiar with the country who were to inform him what route Early meant to take. Early had the choice of several roads, but on Friday, July 8, it became apparent that he proposed to advance by way of Frederick, from which turnpikes diverge to Washington and Baltimora There was then nothing left for Wallace but to fall back to a strong position three miles distant, at Monocacy Station of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, as by going further eastward he would have left the Washington pike unprotected. If he cauld have drawn Early on as far as Mount Airy, a railway station twelve miles eastward, on the summit of the foothills of the Blue Ridge, bis position would have been still more favorable, but Stonewall Jackson’s successor declined the invitation.

The Indiana soldier made excellent disposition of his forces under the circumstances. He was obliged to bend the most of his energies to the protection of the Washington turnpike wbero it crossed the Mopocacy river, 200 yards south of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad bridge, and to cover, as far as possible, the Baltimore turnpike bridge, two miles northward. Wisely, be deeided to fight for the Washington approach, and let the salvation of the Baltimore pike depend upon the raw recruits. Therefore he placed his reliable troops on the right of his line, on a lull crowned by the mansion of a Mr. Thomas, who had been supplicating heaven for the defeat of the “Yanks.” This elevation commanded the Washington road, aDd from 9 o’clock in the morning until 4 in the afternooxs Wallace and Ricketts, who had arrived before daylight with his Sixth corps men, gave Early the toughest tussle that he had in all the days that he wore the gray. Charge after charge was made up tbe slopes of Mr. Thomas’s cornfields and lawns, hut each was repelled by Griffin's cannon and the fire of Rieketta’s infantry. In proportion to the number of men engaged tbe total losses were not exceeded in any battle of the war, and this great mortality was mainly incurred in these charges and t.he well-aimed fire of the confederate artillery, under which they were made. So far as these assaults on Wallace were concerned, ho was impregnable. He rode along the lines between each attack, looking carefully to tbe condition of tbe men and inspiriting them to tbe reception of the next charge. In the midst of the combat he sent a squad of the Ninth New York Heavies out to burn the Washington turnpike bridge, aud it made a very pretty battle picture to see the fashion in which they darted into the storm of shot and shell and started the fiames under the old-fashioned wood structure across the Monocacy. Presently Early tired of his useless assaults upon the right of Wallace’s line, and gave up his pitched battle to make use of his superior forees. Regiment after regiment swarmed down from the confederate right, and there could be no further doubt that Early meant to be across the Monocacy and making way down the Washington road before the sun could set. Wallace gave him nearly the last cartridges the infantry had in their boxes and the last the artillery had in their caissons. Then he began his orderly withdrawal. He was not a momeut too soon, for as he drew back in tbe form of a crescent Early enfiladed him on e&eh side of the little valley of the Monocaey, and about got revenge for all the valiant confederates whose bodies have fertilized the Thomas corn patches. Tbe retreat was taken up, and under tbe half moon of that July night the defeated army wearily marched down the Baltimore turnpike. At Ellicott City they were halted, and turned toward Washington on Sunday afternoon. But Washington was already out of danger. If Early could have flung down the Seventh-

street approaches on Saturday, the stalwart cays!y who carried the cross bars and stars there on the succeeding Monday might have ridden, without much opposition, straight into the heart of the city, and Jubal might have followed them. He certainly supposed that he was going to grasp Washington when he whirled his troop# across the Monocacy on Sunday evening and bade his cavalry ride forward at topmost speed. It was not until his cavalry commanders were in front of Washington that they comprehended and made him comprehend what Wallace meant by fighting the battle of Monocacy. When they confronted the bronzed fighters of the Nineteenth corps they recognized the fact that the twentyfour hours’ delay which Wallace had caused them was just about the time which it had taken the steamers laden with the Nineteenth Corps to reach Washington from Fortress Monroe and present a front which Early dare not attack. His advance withdrew; he made the shortest possible cut back to Lee’s army; Washington was saved and Grant was allowed to force the fighting toward Richmond without any distressing fears as to the possibilities of an attack in the rear. Wallace, on his retreat, halted near Mount Airy on Sunday morning. Awaiting him there were two other brigades of the Sixth Corps and a couple of batteries of artillery. It has been understood that he upbraided their commanding officers for not having reached him in time at Monocacy the day before, which they were perfectly able to do. Their reply was that orders, which Wallace presumed to have been inspired by Halleck. detained them at Mount Airy, where they had the pleasure of seeing the smoke of battle and hearing the guns. It is possible that upon what he knew of the cause of their unavoidable dereliction he founds his charges against Halleck. It is, however, difficult to imagine Halleck surrendering under any conditions less than four meals a day and all the other luxuries of a headquarters far away from the sound and smell of obnoxious gunpowder.
