The present aspect of affairs indicates that these committees will accomplish little, if anything, during the session. DEM ENT’S BLUNDER. Hie False Statements Will Prevent His Confirmation by the Senate. Special to the IndianatxJie Journal. Washi noton, Feb. 9. —Dement, the Surveyorgeneral of Utah, who has created such a furore here by charging men in high official position with being connected with land frauds or being bribe-receivers from the Mormons, and who has denied such statements, is becoming very ridiculous in the eyes of the people here. A new discovery has just been made in his pretended disclosures. It appears that his interviews were prearranged and designed before he left Utah for this city. “I came a portion of the way here with Dement,” said a gentleman to day, “and on the train he told me of his pretended discoveries of corruption among certain United States Senators aud members of the lower house of Congress. Dement told me that there were certain Senators who wanted to antagonize the confirmation of his nomination, but that be could close their mouths and still their tongnes. Ho said that several Senators had been bribed by the Mormons, and were connected with the Utah land frauds. His idea in authorizing the interview he gave was to frighten the Senators who wanted to defeat his confirmation. When the charges be made against the Senators were printed, he very soon saw that it had the wrong effect; that, instead of silencing them, they demanded the truth. As he could not prove his assertions, he saw his mistake, and concluded the only way out was to deny the whole thing. But he was too late, and will not be confirmed.” THE MONEY PROBLEM. • Senator Beck's Coin Certificate Bill and Senator Allison’s Silver Bill. Washington, Feb. 9.— The following isthe full test of Senator Beck’s coin certificate bill, introduced to day; That hereafter coin certificates shall be issued of any denomination for which legal-tender notes of the United States may now be issued, and, when received at the treasury, re-issued as provided for in Section 2 of this act, and all gold and silver certificates now outstanding shall be retired when they are received at the Treasury of the United States. ’’See. 2. That it shall be the duty of the Treasurer of the United States, upon the receipt of an original certificate of deposit issued by the United States assistant treasurer, at any United States sub-treasury, stating that there has been deposited therein gold coin or standard silver dollars of the United States, in the sum of $lO, or any multiple thereof, to order payment of a like amount in coin certificates at the counter of any United States assistant treasurer designated by the depositor, m such denominations as he might require in writing, which shall be redeemable in gold or silver coin, at the option of the United States. Sec. 3. That no coin certificates shall be issued of a denomination greater than SSOO, and at least two-thirds of such certificates outstanding at any time shall be of denominations not exceeding $50.” The following is the fall text of Senator Allison’s silver bill, introduced to-day: “That hereafter, any holder of silver coins of full legal tender value, may, at his option, present them in sums of SSO or any multiple thereof, at the Treasury or the sub-Treasury in the city of New York, and receive therefor in exchange a like amount of gold coin or United States notes, and any holder of gold coin may in like manner present the same and receive therefor silver coin of full legal-tender value, or United States notes. “Sec. 2. That sections 5193 and 5394 of the revised statutes are hereby repealed, and the words ‘lawful money,’ wherever used in the Statutes of the United States, shall be construed to include United States notes, gold and silver of full legal tender. “Sec. 3. That all laws or parts of laws requiring the lawful money deposited with the Treasurer of the United States, as provided by Section 5222, Revised Statutes, to be held as a special fund for the redemption of notes of the National Banking Association, are hereby repealed, and all the money now deposited, or which may hereafter be deposited, shall be covered into the Treasury, and all sums now deposited or which may hereafter be deposited with the Treasurer of the United States, as authorized by Section 4 of an act entitled, ‘An act fixing the amount of United States notes providing for a redistribution of the national hank currency, and for other purposes,’ approved June 20, 1874, shall be cov■ered into the Treasury. “Sec. 4. That Section 3 of the last-named <act is hereby amended so as to authorize the redemption of national bank notes in gold or silver, and to authorize the deposit of gold or silver in lieu of United States notes required to be dedeposited by such section.”

SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS. Patriots Who Scent Danger in Represents* tire Hammond's Tax Resolution. Washington What is in many quarters considered a danre rous demonstration towards the recovery of damages by the insurrectionary >tates from the North for losses sustained by the war of the rebellion, was presented in the resolution offered by Mr. Hammond to compel the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the claims of States which are now withheld as a set-off under the act of August 5, 1861. These taxes, amounting to $20,000,000, were made a lien upon lands and other real estate of the individuals who were assessed. The refusal to pay these taxes in certain portions of the South caused a levy upon, and sale of, a large amount of personal property. Under the apportionment the State of Georgia became indebted to the United States to the amount of $584,367.33. Os this amount Georgia has only paid $71,407.75, leaving a balance of $512,959.58. Pennsylvania has paid $1,946,719.33, and the total sum paid by "the States whieh have met the demand is about $17,500,000 of the $20,000,000 due. Now, the effort is being made to exonerate the States of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia from the payment of the $2,000,000 they still owe the government, aud to secure the refunding of this sum, pid Indian, railroad and other claims are set up. The interest account added to the sums paid by the willing States amounts to very nearly $43,000,000. General Negley, of Pittsburg, in reference to these claims, says that “the effort to declare the taxes levied by the general government to support war measures as a political debt due from individuals only, and not from the several States, is the most audacious aud revolutionary proposition undertaken since the acts of secession, for if the government has no power to impose a burden od the people for its own defense, then where is the vested power to seize the property of individuals who were engaged in the armed forces of the insurrectionary States? And the oountry may well ask, if Congress allows such a precedent as that sought in this subtle resolution, what i? there to prevent the collection of claims amounting to over $500,000,000 now ponding and urged by Southern claimants?” The careful observer of the proceedings of the present Congress cannot fail to recognize the fact that all such measures are considered from a partisan standpoint, without the slightest regard to the equities or to the rights of the government. s alaries of railway mail clerks. How Mr. Vilas Intends to Keep From Them Their Money Justly Due. Wafchinftoa Spsctal to New York Tribune. Compared with the wages they receive the jrailway postal clerks perform duties more exacting and laborious, {and requiring a higher degree of intelligence end activity than any other class of government employes. By a severe, and as many members of Congress who participated in its enactment maintain, an unwarranted construction of the law, the Postmaster-general has leterained that $81,300 of the money appropri-

a ted to pay the salaries of railway mail clerks must'Qot be paid to them, but must be returned to the treasury. The facts in brief are as follows: In 1874 the clerks were divided into three classes, the members of which, respectively, were to receive annual salaries of SI,OOO, $1,200 and $1,400 each. In 1876 a Democratic Honse cut down the appropriation, so that the Postmastergeneral was compelled to redace tho force or the salaries. As it was impracticable to do the first without impairing the efficiency of the service, the wages were reduced. In 1882 a Republican Congress divided the* clerks into five classes, the minimum salary not to be less than SBOO, and the highest “not to exceed" $1,400 a year. In 1884, upon the recommendation of the general superintendent of the iailway-mail service, approved by the Postmas-ter-general, the full amount necessary to restore the salary of the clerks to the scale authorized by law was appropriated for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1885. Tho intention of the House committee, which framed the bill, and of the Congress which passed it, was that the pay of the clerks should be so restored. The clerks so understood it, and they had been instrumental in securing favorable action upon the recom mendationof the railway mail superintendent. Their surpriso and disappointment were great, therefore, when they were informed that the money was not to be paid to them and when they discovered the reason, as set forth in the following extract from the report of the railway mail superintendent for 1885: “The annual appropriation for the pay of railway postal clerks for the current fiscal year is $4,682,300. Os this amount $81,300 was presumably appropriated for the special purpose of increasing (restoring) the salaries of clerks of the fourth and fifth classes to the rates of compensation paid prior to J uly 1, 1876; but inasmuch as the appropriation bill, as approved, does not state specifically that such was the intention of Congress, the Postmaster-general is of the opinion that this fund cannot be drawn upon for that purpose.” Mr. Vilas seems to have supposed that Congress did not intend to perform an act of justice, but had appropriated merely “for fun,” and in order that he might afford another exhibition of “economy and reform" by refusing to pay it to the men who earned it aud are entitled to it. Efforts are making to have this thing righted by Congress, and they may be successful, as members of the present House who were members of the appropriations committee of the last Congress, and therefore are familiar with the facts, have given assurances that they will do everything they can to effect that object. MINOR MATTERS. Using the Foreign Affair* Committee as a School For Young Lawyers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 9. —“ Every man is entitled to his just deserts,” observed a Democratic member of the House to your correspondent, “and I think Perry Belmont, of New York, who has been elevated to the chairmanship of Foreign Affairs, should be given the credit due him. I had a long talk with him the other day about the gossip which has been indulged in about his promotion in the House; why he wanted it, etc., and I must say his ideas do him credit. He said his sole object in seeking the chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Affairs was to have an opportunity to study international laws and diplomacy. Perry Belmont,” continued the member, “intends to practice law in New York, and ho said he hoped to get a training on the committee which would be valuable to him as a lawyer. He realizes that the field is already covered by lawyers in New York, but thinks he can, with the experience and acquaintances his present place will give him, introduce himself to new channels, so that he can, as a lawyer, Save anew and individual field. And he is right. He expects, and wants, hard work. I tell you. Perry Belmont isn’t a dude, nor a reckless fellow, and some day he will make for himself a good name.”

Another Offensive Partisan Removed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 9.—David Stewart, of Seneca county, Ohio, a postal clerk, running from Sandusky. to Cincinnati, was to-day removed on the charge of “offensive partisanship,” and W. L. Moore, of Findlay, was appointed to fill the vacancy. Moore will run between Toledo and Findlay, vice Lewis Wagner, transferred to the run formerly filled by Stewart Mr. Stewart had been in the service eleven years, aud was a warm personal friend of ex-Governor Charles Foster. His removal will be a surprise to him, since he recently said he was firmly fixed in his position. He was a very efficient and faithful clerk, and is well known among postal men in Ohio and Indiana. Nominations by the President. Washington, Feb. 9.— The President to-day sent to the Senate the following nominations: Henry White, of Maryland, second Secretary of legation of the United States at London, to be secretary of legation, vice Wk.

The Shooting at Walton, Cass County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Logansport, Fob. 9. —Henry Fitzer, who was shot by Byron Van Buskirk, at Walton, this county, on Sunday night, still lies in a critical condition, and the physician is ot the opinion that he cannot recover. The general sentiment about Walton is favorable to Van Buskirk. Investigation into the particulars of the shooting shows that Fitzer made an assault upon him, threatening to kill him.

Hawkins, one of the twenty-four daring men who in 1863, under the leadership of one Andrews, a fearless Kentuckian, attempted to destroy the bridges and telegraph lines of the Chattanooga & Atlantic railroad, between Big Shanty and Chattanooga, died here Monday night.
