grim and pathetic picture, attracting the attention of American statesmen. Then fell on him a tempest that, if it did not annihilate his race, might have broken his spirit. The Ku-klux raiders hurried him from Virginia to Texas; the Alabama klan drove him from the polls; the midnight raiders of Louisiana hunted him to the rafters of his cabin; the first citizen of Kemper county shot him down in the presence of his wife and children; New Orleans and Copiah told a story which the world would read with horror. All this time the colored man has kept on, and plied the plow and hoe. Now, what he wants is education. This amendment would secure it for him, which the bill, as it stood, would not. If tho amendment failed, his (Mr. Hale’s) course would not Mr. Allison defended his amendment. He asked the Southern Senators whether they thought the people of this country would assent that, out of $58,000,000 which the bill would give the South, $40,000,000 should go to the education of the whites, while only $18,000,000 was to go for the education of the colored people, notwithstanding the fact that the illiteracy of the Southern whites was but little more than that prevailing in the Northern States. Did they suppose this bill, without this amendment, would endure the just criticism of Northern people with such an equitable application of the money? Mr. Allison had a belief that this vicious proposition for distribution of money within the States had been made to secure for the bill votes from Senators from which they eenld not otherwise be secured. His amendment could not, however, be whistled down the wind. Mr Logan submitted as an amendment the provisions of a measure heretofore introduced by him, providing an appropriation of $10,000.000 the first year, $17,500,000 the second year, $20,000,000 the third year, $18,000,000 the fourth year, $16,000,000 the fifth year, $14,000,000 the sixth year. $12,000,000 the seventh year. $10,000,000 the eighth year, $6,000,000 the tenth year, when all the appropriations under the act shall close; and an amendment providing a special fund of $2,000,000 to aid in building schoolhouses in sparsely populated districts, not more than SIOO on any one house, and not more than one-half the cost of the school-house in any case. Adjourned. THE HOUSE. The Day Devoted to Debate on the Pension Appropriation BilL Washington, March 2.—Mr. Morrill, of Kansas. from the committee on invalid pensions, reported a bill extending until July 1, 1888, the time within which applications for arrears of pensions may be filed, extending the provisions of the arrears act to special pensioners, and providing that in applications for pensions the person on whose account the pension is claimed ■hall be presumed, prima facie, to have been sound and free from disease at the date of entering the service. Referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, from the committee on shipping, reported a bill relating to pilots. Placed on the House calendar. Mr. Belmont, of New York, from the commitlee on foreign affairs, reported the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, and it was referred to the committee of the whole. The Speaker laid before the House the response of the Secretary of the Treasury to the Bland resolution calling for information concerning the circulation of the standard silver dollar, and the policy to be pursued as to payment of silver. Referred to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. Mr. Townehand, of Illinois, said that if it were the wish of the House, he would like the morning hour dispensed with, in order that consideration of the pension appropriation bill might be resumed.

Mr. Bland, of Missouri, said that he had endeavored unsuccessfully, yesterday, to secure recognition for the purpose of moving to fix a day for consideration of the silver bill He would, therefore, insist on the morning hour every day until the committee on coinage, weights and measures was reached. Mr. Wise, of Virginia, on behalf of the committee on manufactures, in the morning hour called up the bill authorizing the President to appoint a commission of seven experts, skilled in the investigation, production and use of metallic substances and ether structural -material, to execute tests on iron, steel and other materials used in the construction of bridges, buildings and mechanical structures, an 4 deduce useful rules therefrom. After debate, the morning hour expired and the House went into committee of the whole— Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, in the Chair—on the pension appropriation bill. Mr, Cannon, of Illinois, gave his views on general pension legislation, and warmly favored the passage of a measure to pension soldiers who were or were not disabled, and who were now dependent on their daily labor for support. He would also amend the laws so as to pension parents who would now be dependent upon their son, had he not been killed in the war, though they had not been dependent upon him when, a young lad, he entered the service of his country. Mr. Wilson, of West Virgima, vigorously defended Commissioner Black from the criticisms of the gentleman from lowa [Mr. Henderson], and declared that the country had regarded his appointment by the President as an eminently wise and patriotic selection. Referring to the eriticism that Commissioner Black had kept Republican members of Congress waiting in the anto-room while he was confasring with Democratic members in regard to removals from tftce, Mr. Wilson said that the country would < unmend the Commissioner if he held those conrences a little more often, and would unmend his action to other high offers. He regretted to hear the genleman from Maine [Mr. Boutelle] criticising the Southern people because they had, at one or two points, raised modest memorials to their dead. The mourners for those under those monuments could appeal to the searcher of all hearts to testify that they cherish no thought, wish or desire that was not in harmony with the Uoiou. He saw in the war the stately stepping of that providence which used the wrath of men to work out its beneficial purposes. It had abolished the institution of slavery, which had come down as a painful heritage from the fathers of the Republic. The war had secured the preservation of the Union, but it had secured a result greater than tho preservation of the Union in the extinction of slavery, and greater than the extinction of slavery was the utter annihilation of any further cause or excuse for sectional strife hereafter. Mr. Wilson's speech was listened to with great attention by both sides of the House, and he was frequently interrupted with the applause of his party colleagues. Mr. Hammond, alluding to the recent speech of Mr. Henderson, of lowa, said it needed no reply. The spirit of the speech, not only in manner, but in cold, printed words, carried with it the ooncemimtion of the argument, and needed no more reply than when he consigned the con federates to hell, and then intensified hell by a promise to go thither with them. [Laughter and applause.] Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, criticised the report of Commissioner Black, and said that it seemed to him that there was not an avenue of scandal which had not been drained dry in order to reflect upon the retiring commissioner. The report insulted every mau and woman in the employ of the Commissioner of Pensions, and the language of the report had vastly more regard for rhetoric than for exact trnth. He quoted from that portion of the report which states that, under the previous administration, tests other than those of the law bad been required of pension claimants, and his comment upon the quotation was that “There are ears into which siauder flows as if it were water, and the ear a street into a sewer.” Mr. Butterworth then went into & discussion of the election methods in vogue in Cincinnati from 1876 down to tho present time, vigorously denouncing the Democratic party in that city, and ending with the declaration that Cincinnati had been rotten for ten years, and 'hat the Democratic gang held it by the 'hreat and robbed its coffers. Referring to Michael Mullen, of that city, he was interrupted iiy questions from the Democratic side of “Who is Mike?” He stated in reply that Mullen was the Democratic leader in that city, and inquired whether it was by Mullen’s effort that such men as Thurman. Pendleton and Ward were set to one side, while with money in each finger, members of the Democratic Legislature had been bought to betray honest men. “Nam© one of them,” exclaimed Mr. Warner. “Oh, Lord!" was Butterworth’s ejaculation in reply. He took it for granted that the Democratic legislators were not infamous without a price, and did not betray without receiving their thirty piece# of silver. Everybody knew that Alien Thurman and George Pendleton were the

best types of Democracy. Everybody knew that two-thirds of that Legislature was elected to return Pendleton to the Senate. Never bad the honor of the State of Ohio been dragged in the mire until it had been dragged there by a Democratic Legislature, and yet gentlemen criticised Republicanism as a scandalous school in which pension examiners were taught. Democrats had gone all over Ohio to find one Republican to betray his flag, his honor, and his trust by withholding his vote from John Sherman, the acknowledged voice of the Republican party, but they had not found one. Was it in a school like that that men learned to be disloyal? He noticed, the moment anything was said which might challenge a reply, before a member from Virginia or South Carolina could get out of his chair, some northern man jumped up and protested that the Democrats were more devoted to the flag, more devoted to the dead, than those who closed their eyelids in life, and having done that, turned around, and if the Southern men smiled he was delighted, and if they frowned be was in agODy. {Laughter on the Republican side.] He extolled the record of the Republican party, and eaid, addressing the Democrats: “What line of the statutes have you written of which you are proud? What station have you reached on the highway to progress? I know, as we near sctne stations on the highway, you jump on the train, run to the cow-catcher, and, as we move up to the station, jump off and say: ‘Here we are.’” |Loud laughter, in which the Democrats heartily joined.] Continuing, he said that the Democrats had Promised to revise the tariff, but had not done so. Vhy? because they had to please two wings of the Democratic party, they had to please the friends of Mr. Morrison, they had to please the friends of Mr. Randall, and as they could not do both, they did neither. Pending further discussion the committee rose and the House adjourned. TELEGRAPH 1C BREVITIES. Michael Macobe, Patrick Condon, and an unknown man were found frozen to death in New York yesterday morning. D. Henry Wheeler, a prominent citizen of Prosperity, S. C., was waylaid and murdered by George McNeary on Monday. At Piedmont, S. C., yesterday, James W. King, a white laborer, stabbed bis wife to death and then killed himself, falling across her body.

This morning the Savanah steamer Gate City, while entering her dock, was forced into collision with the revenue cutter Albert Gallatin, striking the cutter on her port quarter and jamming her against the dock, thereby starting her dock frame and badly twisting her davits. The Gate City was not injured. Attachment Suit Against a Bank. Sioux Falls, D. TANARUS., March I.—A suit in attachment has been instituted by the Sioux Falls National Bank against the First National Bank, how in the hands of the sheriff.

Three Lives Lost in a Fire. Fulton. Mo., March 2. —About 2 o’clock this morning Mrs. Quisenbery's house, on Nicholas street, was discovered to be on fire. Neighbors hastening to the burning house heard low cries of distress, and found Mrs. Quisenberry lying in the yard, partly wrapped in a blanket. Water was dashed over her, but she was dead. The house waß wrapped in flames, and could not be saved. Mrs. Quisenberry’s two sons, aged seventeen and nineteen, were missing. A search of the ruins was instituted as soon as possible, and their charred remains were found in the embers. The mother was probably trying to save them, when her clothes took fire. Color ml Men Moving West* Chattanooga, Tenn., March 2.—Agents, who have beon thoroughly canvassing North and South Carolina for colored emigrants, say that the colored exodus from the Southern States to the extreme West has only fairly begun. At least three thousand are reported to be now making arrangements to leave during the present season, fully as many having already gone. They state they are going because they are offered regular wages as farm hands, and are becoming impoverished m the South by high rents and small margins. Tragedy in a School-House. Cattletsburg, Ky., March 2. —News comes from Marrowbone Creek, W. Va., of a tragedy at a school house last Saturday night.

The windows were demolished, the meeting broken up, and several of tho worshipers struck by stones and ladly hurt The neighborhood is greatly excited, and more trouble will probably follow. A Sudden Death To Be Investigated Special to the Indianapolis Journal, Kokomo, March 2.—On the night of the 26th ult Mrs. Della Middleton died very suddenly, at her home, at Russiaville, ten miles west of this city. Since her burial suspicions have arissn of foul play, and the coroner will go to that place to-morrow, exhume the body and hold~A postmortem examination. The woman, whose maiden name was Millakin, had only been married four months, and there is a rumor current this evening that she died from malpractice, as she was in good health only a few hours before her death. There is a good deal of excitement in that vicinity this evening over the matter, and there seems to be a determination upon the part of her relatives to havo the matter thor ouehly sifted.

Union City, March 2.— The Republican primary election for candidates for city offices, which was held yesterday, resulted in tho following nominations: Mayor, C. H. Cadwallader; clerk, V. Bartholomew; treasurer, N. B. Lewis; marshal, W. M. Reeves.

The city vote shows a strong Republican gain over two years ago. _ Seeking Natural Gas. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Logansport, March 2.—A company has been organized in this city to sink a well for the purpose of determining whether natural gas is to be found in this region. There have been indications of the presence of the article, and enough stock has been subscribed to sink a well 1,000 feet, and, if necessary, 2,000 feet. A contractor from the East has arranged to undertake the job of boring. The well will be sunk in the low land north of Eel river, and the result will be awaited with general interest.

Discovery of a Missing GirL Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne, March 2.— Miss Florence Miller, a niece of Hon. S. H. Ellis, a trustee of the Ohio State University, at Columbus, and who, it is charged, eloped with a negro named Prince Albert Ward, from Sprmgboro, 0., on the Ist of February last, was discovered to-day here, acting as nurse in the city hospital. She is very wealthy, it is said, in her own right, and is evidently somewhat eccentric. She statesjlpt sha, has not seen the negro since they parted at the Springboro depot. _ To Be Exhumed a Second Time. Lafayette, March 2. —Joseph Hutchins, of Boswell, a little village a few miles from here, was buried on Sunday last. Thirty-six hours afterward he was taken up because of a rumor that he had been buried alive. He was found to be warm about the heart, but was reburied. He will be again taken up.

Minor Notes. The Galveston Times has been removed to Logansport, where it will hereafter be published. Jacob Mayers, an Evansville traveling salesman, was thrown from a buggy at Huntingburg and received a broken leg. Rev. Wm. Hildreth, who died at Atlanta, Ga., of heart disease, was for many years pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, at New Albany. Charles Dunn has been pardoned from the Southern prison by Governor Gray. Dnnn killed his uncle in 1883 with a penknife, and was sent up from Daviess county. He is twentythree years of age, and was sent up for seven years. The trial of the suit of Mrs. Emma B. Sanford against the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road has begun at New Albany. She asks SIO,OOO damages for the killing of her husband in a railroad accident at Blue-river bridge. St Paul’s Episcopal Church, at Evansville, was dedicated yesterday, the services being conducted by Bishop Knickerbacker, of Indianapolis, and Bishop Seymour, of Springfield, 111. There was also a missionary address by Rev. Walter Scott, of New Albany. Should the Ohi® Valley Telephone Company discontinue its exchange at New Albany, the Council will order its poles and wires removed from the city, and another company will speedily occupy the city and comply with the State law. The Evansville Tribune-News, an evening publication, changed hands yesterday, Percy V. Jones retiring. The new proprietors are F. M. Gilliau and~A. J. Miller, late of Bradstreet. Both are enterprising and have ample capitaL The terms of the sale were private. In response to a petition signed by fifty freeholders, the Commissioners of Cass county have ordered an election in April to determine whether the county shall purchase the gravel roads in the county and make them free. The indications are that the proposition will be voted down. The grain-buyers of Logansport have entered into a combination on prices, and pay from five to eight cents less per bushel for grain than dealers in the surrounding small towns. Logansport offers an excellent field for a grain-dealer who has the pluck and capital to fight a combination. The body of an infant was found by several small boys who were playing near the Wabash river, at Logansport, on Monday afternoou. The city marshal was notified, and the remains fished out of the water. The child hud evidently been murdered by its mother. The supposition is that it was thrown into the river by someone who took this moans of hiding her shame. No inquest was held on the remains, which were several hours after discovered buried in the potter’s field. Joseph N. Frick, an old resident of Evansville, died yesterday morning of heart disease. He was born at Vilters Carr ton. Gallon, Switzerland, in 1823. He studied architecture at Munich, and was assistant superintendentent of a stone railway bridge in the city of Venice, and also superintendent of one of

the towers on the dome of the Milan Cathedral. He came to Evansville in 1853, and served daring the war in the ranks. He was a bachelor. ILLINOIS. The Investigation in the Case of Shelbyville’s Presbyterian Minister. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Mattoon, March 2.—The Mattoon Presbytery met in this city this afternoon to investigate the application of Rev. Edward Carleton, Presbyte rian minister at Shelbyville, who is charged with not being able to produce satisfactory credentials entitling him to admission to the presbytery. Rev. J. M. Johnson, of Neoga, was elected moderator. Rev. Carleton is on the ground, and is ready to meet his accusers. A delegation from his congregation came with him to assure him of their confidence in his integrity, and to aid him in his defense with counsel Hon. George D. Chaffee and Elder H&nneman, of Shelbyville, have his case in hand. The former stated, in behalf of his client, that there was a chapter in Mr. Carleton’s life affecting only himself and his family, and in no wise reflecting upon his Christian character, which was best for all concerned to be kept a secret However, this chapter would bo revealed in its entirety to any committee appointed by the presbytery, the committee first agreeing to keep the secret sacred. Upon the verdict of this committee Mr Carleton was willing to rest his application for admission to the presbytery. While his credentials are not now in due form, he asks for more time to make them good. In delerence to his request, a committee of three ministers and two elders were appointed to take evidence in private and to report at 7:30 o’clock this evening. Rev. Carleton, last September, made a contract with the Shelbyville congregation to fill their pulpit for a year. Should he fail in having his application for membership in the presbytery approved, he would either have to be dismissed, or the Shelbyville church would have to withdraw from the presbytery. The people of his church, during his five months’ ministration, have become very much attached to him, and they hope that no stroke of church discipline will deprive them of his services. Shot Dead by His Step-Son. Alton, March 2.—At about 12 o’clock last night Jonathan H. Johnson was killed by his step son, Charles Carr, aged nineteen years. Johnson had become angry at his wife, and was whipping her in a brutal manner when the boy interfered. The man turned upon Carr, threatening to kill him. The boy, in his flight out of the house, seized a shotgun, and turning, fired upon his enraged father. The first shot, however, did not take effect, but a second killed the man instantly. The boy was captured, early this morning, and claims that he did the deed in self-defense. Gruel Treatment of Young GirL Salem, March 2.—County Superintendent J. A. Phillips, of luka township, Marion county, brought to light, at a meeting of the county board, to-day, a case of cruel treatment of a young girl named Alsa Thomas, by a relative named Lewis Presgrove. On one of the coldest nights of January the girl, clad only in a calico dress and a thin cotton skirt, was turned out of doors, and forced to walk three miles. She froze both legs, and is now in a precarious condition.

Blackburn, a highly-esteemed widow of that city, he was horrified at fishing up the body of a fullgrown infant in an advanced stage of decomposition. The matter will be investigated. LABOR AND LABORERS. Skilled Workmen Leave Their Places in Aid of Their Unskilled Brethren. Fort Worth, Tex., March 2.—There is universal surprise in this city at the great railroad strike which began here last evening. There was no intimation that it was coming. At 5:30 the whistle at the round-house blew, and at once every machinist, car repairer, section hand, bag gage handler, and, in fact, every mau who belongs to Assembly No. 101, Knights of Labor, stopped work. The business of the Texas Pacific and Missouri Pacific was almost completely suspended here. Three hundred men had stopped work in an instant. The orders came from Sedalia. The causes are said to be numerous, but the chief one is that $1.50 per day is demanded as a day’s wages for unskilled laborers who now receive $1.15 per day. Other reasons are the refusal to make eight hours a day’s and the discharge of men at Marshall. No freight trains went out last night, and all the freight engines are in the round house. No railroad work of any description is being done, except the movement of passenger trains, and no one is left to handle the baggage but the baggagemaster. Later advices regarding the strike give an interview with General Brown, one of the receivers of the road, which, in substance, is as follows: “The workmen in the shops at Marshall, Big Springs and Fort Worth walked out yesterday, but no employe of the company has ever laid any grievance before the receivers or their agents. If any man felt aggrieved, and had expressed it, we should have immediately looked into the grievance, and would have righted any wrong we found. We are determined to protect our employes against any wrongs from ourselves or our agents, or from outside intermeddlers. We claim, however, the right to adjust our differences, if any there be. between ourselves and oar employes, without the mediation of people who are not in our employ. We pay our employes promptly, and we claim they shall prefer their grievances direct to us, and not invoke the officious interference of persons who do not appear on our rolls, and who are unknown to us. ” From other sources it is stated that the strike is likely to become general on all the Gould lines in Texas as well as the Texas Pacifie, and that the trouble may extend to other roads in the State. _ Tronble Brewing at Crystal City. St. Louis, Mo., March 2.—A dispatch from Crystal City, thirty miles from here, on the Iron Mountain road, says that trouble is brewing in the Crystal City glass works. The president notified the employes several days ago that all Knights of Labor m the works must either leave the order or the works. In compliance with that notice, it is said, twenty-six of the men were discharged yesterdav, and a notice was served on all the remaining Knights of Labor that they would be given two days more in which to meke up their minds. The action of the company has

created a great deal of excitement at Crystal City, and it may spread to St Louis, where the headquarters of the Knights of Labor for the district are located. The Crystal City works employ 600 men. The latest news from Crystal City to-night is that everything is quiet there, and that there is no danger of a strike. The matter has not yet been brought officially before the Knights of Labor, and therefore no action has been taken by them. The situation at the Vulcan works in South St. Louis is unchanged. The works are still idle, and are likely to be for several days. McCormick at Work with 540 Men. Chicago, March 2.—The McCormick works opened as usual this morning. There were large crowds of idle men about the works, but the presence of police prevented any outbreak on their part, even though they had contemplated one. Five hundred and forty men reported for work—an increase of 200 over yesterday—and the managers of the works expect that the number will be increased to 800 to-morrow. The officers think the strike is practically ended. To-night a meeting of strikers and their sympathizers was held at West Twelfth-street Turner Hall. The audience vigorously applauded the orators of the occasion, all of whom spoke in a decidedly incendiary strain. Among those who made the most prominent addresses of the evening were the anarchists Parsons and Schwab. A Strike for Higher Wages. Cumberland, Md., March 2.— The executive board of the National Federation of Miners and Mine Laborers, for district No. 3, to-day issued a circular to the men employed in the mines including the district, ordering a general strike, to commence March 8, unless the advance of 10 cents per ton demanded recently, be allowed. The operators refused to accept an invitation to a conference with the executive board, and the board considers the refusal as a challenge for a fight. District No. 3 comprises the mining regions known as Clearfield, Irwin, Myersdale and Garrett, Pa.; George’s Creek, Md.: Elk Ridge, W. Va., and Pocahontas, Va. The men in the Myersdale region have been granted the advance, and are not included in the order to strike. Strike of Kentucky Coal Miners. St. Louis, March 2. —A report from Erlington, Ky., says 350 coal miners quit work there yesterday, The trouble seems to have grown out of the recent organization of a lodge of Knights of Labor there. The miners claimed their coal was not being fairly weighed, and demanded that Knights of Labor should be appointed to weigh it To this the coal operators decidedly objected, and the men walked out of the mines. The operators say that they can procure other men to dig coal, but the striking miners assert that new men shall not work, and trouble is apprehended. Labor Notes. Milwaukee, Wis., March 2.— The Bay View nail mills started up yesterday morning with a force of about two hundred men. Four hundred more will, it is thought, resume work to day. Lynchburg, Va., March 2.—A strike has been inaugurated at the Old Dominion iron and nail works, in this city, and the mills have stopped work. A compromise is probable. The arbitration committee of the Knights of Labor and the stockholders are in session. The strike was caused by a notice of a reduction of wages, on March 1, of 50 cents a ton. Milwaukee, Wis., March 2.—A break occurred in the line of the boot and shoe manufacturers yesterday. The Mayer Boot and Shoe Company signed the scale submitted last week by the men. This leaves but three firms—Beals, Lorrey& Cos., Atkins, Oeden & Cos. and the Page Shoe Company—out. These houses are firm in their declaration that they will not sign the scale as submitted.

How the President's Message Was Received. Special to Chicago Inter Ocean. The comments of the Senators upon the message are just what might be expected under the circumstances. The Republicans echo what Mr. Edmunds said, and the Democrats defend and admire his courage. It was certainly an unusual and audacious message, and the oracles say that Mr. Edmunds was correct in his statement that it is the first time a message was ever sent to either house of Congress upon a subject that was under consideration. The executive proposes legislation. Tne Constitution says that “he shall from time to time eive to Congress information of the state of the Union, and shall recommend to their consideration measures as he snail judge necessary and expedient.” But never before in the history of the government has a president ever made a defense of his acts or attempted in any way to influence by a public document the conduct of the legislative branch. The step the President has taken has had the effect of adding fuel to the flames and intensifying the sentiment on the Republican side. It has also stiffened the backbone of some of the weaker brethren whose adherence to the caucus programme has been a matter of doubt. “For economy and comfort, every spring, we use Hood's Sarsaparilla,” writes a Buffalo, N.
