party cancaie, and certain ConcreMtnn are Dot Trillins to go noon record as supporting tboao demands to that extent, there is such a rital. difference between them that squabbles naturally arise. As ft matter of fact they arose erery time tre met and they arose because of that Tery difference on that Tital question. When Mr. Livingston and those who follow him say that they are for the Ocaia demand, lut little will bold them in subordination to the Democratic caucus or the .Democratic party machinery, they certainly take a very different Tiew of the necessity for those measures than are taken by us when xre say that independent political action is absolutely necessary to bring saccess to our platform. The reasons for onr belief ana reasons for bit need not be discussed here. It is not even necessary to sy that we are more honest in our opinion than Mr. Liringston is in bis. I simply state that where nine gentlemen agree, as to certain laws and sly 4 they will' iijzht for these Jaws no matter what any party says, it is very difficult for them to act in concert with the other pentlemen who say they are for the Democratic party or the Kcpablican party lirst and these demands next. To maintain their position they have to fight desperately for the Democratic or the Kepuolican party, as the case may be. and to maintain onr position we hare to fight inst as desperately for the People's party. Therefore, while the laws we seek to have passed are essentially the same, yet the method of obtaining those laws is so radically different that contacts, mutual distrust and irreconcilable differences naturally arise. Upon that ground we have ceased to meet the Livingston element," JUDGE DEATTY CONFIRMED. T.nd of a .Long Fir ht Against One of President IlarrUon Appointees. Washington, Feb. 4. The confirmation by the Senate to-day of the nomination of James IL Ecatty. to be district judge for Idaho, marks the termination in favor of the administration of a straggle lasting nearly a year which it has had with the Idaho Senators. Mr. Beatty was nominated Feb. 10. last, in spite of the protests of Senators Shoup and McConnell, who sought to convince the President that the nomination wonld not be acceptable to the people of Idaho. When it reached the Senate they began a vigorous campaign against its confirmation, producing protests signed by the State j ad ges and members of the bar, and making objections to the conduct of the nominee during the legislative proceedings which ended in the election of Mr. Dubois as the successor of Mr. McConnell in the Senate. The opposition was able to prevent action upon the nomination during the ftTw weeks that remained of the last session of the Flty-tirst Congress. Three days after the adjournment of Congress, however, the President apoin ted Mr. Beatty to the judgeship, and us nomination was ono of the first to be sent to the Senate at the beginning of the present Congress. Again the Idaho Senators resumed the opposition to the nomination, but for nearly a year Judge Beatty hail been discharging the functions of his office in Idaho and California. His docisions had been sustained wherever an appeal had been taken to a superior tribunal, and it was not possible to pick any flaws in his judicial earner. These facts naturally had an effect favorable to the nomination, and tho Idaho Senators aoon found that several of their Kepubiican colleagues who had been in sympathy with them last year bad changed tboir tuinds. and were determined to support the President. A week ago Messrs. Shoup and Dubois realized that they were defeated, and alter notifying the judiciary committee that they had nothing to retract, but did not care to follow the matter further, they abandoned tho contest and tho nomination was confirmed to-day without any open opposition. Among the other nominations confirmed to-dy were D. I. Roberts, of Indiana, recorder of the General Land Office; Y. C. Jlaskell. United States marshal for tho Northern district of Ohio; L. S. Hewlett, register of the land oflico at North Yakima, Wash. The President to-day sent to the Senate tho following nominations: Frank W. Oakley. United States marshal for the Western district of Wisconsin; Peter Paquet, receiver of public moneys at Oregon City, Ore.; Anson. Baldwin, register of the land otlice at North PNtte. Neb. Postmasters Martin . Stanger, at Downer's Grovo. 111., and Henry A Castle, at St. Paul, Minn. THE SILVER BUXCK CASE.
An Attempt to Force the Government to Coin Bullion Free At the Mint. Washington; Feb. 4. The Sapreme Court of the District of Columbia, to-day, sitting in banc, heard arguments of counsel in what is known as tht silver brick case. Tbe contention in this caso is. in brief, that the act of 1S7S restored silver to free coinage. The petitioners ask for a writ of mandamus to compel respondent to instruct the proper officers to receive and coin silver bullion tendered to the superintendent of the United States mint on March 14. last. The coinage was refused on the ground that it would be in violation f law. To tbe petition the respondent demurred, and it is on this the case is heard. Jere Wilson appeared for petitioners and Assistant Attorney-general Manrey for the United States government. Mr. Wilson asserted that the act of 1S73, which demonetized silver, is unconstitutional if that part ot the act still remains. He in sisted, howoTer, that it does not remain, but that this feature was repealed by tho act of lvra. Assistant Attorney-general Manrey read an abstract from the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the United States ex rel. Dunlap vs. Black, in which it was stated that "the court would not interfere by mandamus with the executive officers of the government in the exercise of their ordinary official duties, even where those duties require an interpretation of the law, the court having no appellate power for that purpose." Kesting on tbe lawns settled by the cane cite.!, Mr. Maurey declined to enter upon an argument in support of the views of the statutes in question taken by the Secretary of tho Treasury, unless requested to do so by the court, 21INOK MATTERS.

Cott of rublle IlniMlnca. fprrisl to tLe Jx.4.anarol. Jt rural. Washington, Feb. 4. Senator Paddock has receired a letter from the Secretary of tho Treasury stating that the expenditures on the new public buildings by acts of the Fiftieth and. Fifty-first Congress? aggreeated $23,000,000. It is estimated that under bis bill giving to all cities public buildings where the postal receipts are $3,0f0 a year but $a.000,(XX) wonld be expended. This would give all cities of 4,000 or 5,000 inhabitants a public building.

Mrs. Florence Ethel Osborne was arrested to-day at Dover on tho arrival of the steamer from Calais. She took her arrest calmly. Upon her arrival at Calais she gave her proper name, and made no attempt to conceal her identity. She was at once escorted to tbe Dover train and brought to London. Since tbe fact became known that Mrs. Osborne intended to surrender in order tor save ber husband the loss of bis prospects in the army the current of public opinion has set somewhat in her favor. It is stated that she will plead to the cbargeof obtaining on false pretenses from the jewelers, Spink & Son, the 5.j0 sterling which they paid her for jewelry she stole from Mrs. Hargreavea. This charge is being pnshed against ber by the authorities of tbe city of London. Whether additional prosecutions will be instituted for perjnry and theft does not lay with the police, as they claim the crimes were not committed within the city of London. Neither Major nor Mrs. Hargreaves desire to oritur further misery npon their former intimate friend. Mr. John Elliott, grandfather of Mrs. Osborne, has been sparing no effort, financial or otherwise, to secure his grand-daughter's release from the maze of trouble In which she is Involved.

Captain Osborne, it will be recalled, married the woman after Mrs. Harsrrave had chargod her with the theft of her jewels, and he was a firm believer in her innocence until indisputable Froof of ber guilt was placed before him. le has stood by her in all her troubles, and after she arrived at Irnn he expressed to her his willingness to join her ana accompany ber in a flight to a more remote region, if she so desired.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Feb. 4 The Municipal Council of Cambridge to-day discussed the famous Daisy Hopkin spinning-house case, which involved the arrest, some time ago, of a pretty young girl named Daisy Hopkin by the college authorities, under a musty old law, charged with walking on the publio streets with a college student, the university, by the law, claiming to have jurisdiction over nil citizens. The young girl mentioned was not only arrested, but was confined in one of the college buildings known as the spinning-houso by order of tbe proproctor, the Kev. Frederick Wallis, and most cruelly treated. The ailair created such a burst of popular indignation throughout Great Uritain that the proproctor decided that it was advisable to release his prisoner, and did so. Daisy Hopkin then became the object of much popular sympathy, which was increased when she told the lull story of herimprisonmet. The case of Daisy Hopkin, was theo taken up by tbe Society for the' Protection of Personal Rights, and a popular subscription was raised to defray tbe expenses of a suit for damages which Miss Hopkin brought against tho proproctor for alleged assault, false imprisonment and malicious persecution the amount of damages she sustained being placed at 5.000. In the meanwhile Penrose Fitzgerald, M. P. for Cambridge, suggested to the anthoritiesof the university that they should appoint a deputation to meet the members of the corporation to discuss the question of university jurisdiction which had arisen. This proposalihav ing bsen declined, Mr. Fitzgerald is prepared to bring in a bill abolishing entirely university jurisdiction over citizens. Discussion for and against the University of Cambridge took place m the town Council of that city to-day. and at the conclusion of the arguments, the Council almost unanimously approved of the draft of tbe bill of Mr. Fitzgerald, abolishing entirely the jurisdiction of the university over the towns people of Cambridge borough. Mr. Fitzgerald will introduce the bill into Parliament at the very lirst opportunity. GEX1RAL FOREIGN NEWS. Explorer Foarneau's African Slayers Will Not Be Panlibed by French Troops. Paris, Feb. 4. A dispatch has been received here from Major De Brussea, the well-known French explorer, who is in command of the Char, and Lake Tchad expedition in Africa.

WORSE THAN TIIE OXEIDAICUMMUNITI.
Hiss Chevalier Exposes More of the Abhorrent Practices of (he New Life Brotherhood. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Sax Francisco, Feb. 4. Miss Alzire Chevalier, of Boston, who recently exposed the manner of the f rands practiced by Thomas Lake Harris, primate of tbe Brotherhood of the New Life, has prepared an open letter to William Dean Howells, who recently, in Harpers' Magazine, took Harris's part in the controversy and expressed grave doubts of tbe charges which she made of the stripping of converts of money and valuables and of im moral practices at the community's headquarters in Fountain Grove, Sonoma county. Miss Chevalier responds with a mass of facts gathered from ex-members of tho community, and affidavits that seem to prove conclusively her two main. points that Harris robs his dnpes and that be perverts the moral sense Of his converts by a system of sexology njore abhorrent than the practices of the Oneida community. One of Miss Chevalier's strongest proofs is a letter of Albert Cuthbert, of England, who escaped from the oommnnity where his father and mother were held as moral captives. His mother was the brilliant Miss Fawcett, of London. Harris put her in solitary confinement and did not allow her to seo husband or son for months. This young man witnessed women bathing with men, in a room devoted to Kdenio baths, nnder tbo direct orders of Harris. Among tho women who were made to perform this repugnant task was Lady Oliphant. Miss Chevalier has a score or affidavits showing the hypnotic inlluence of Harris and the terror he inspired among his disciples. Many escaped from, bis community. She has also " many affidavits about Harris's luxurious life and hardships of his converts. One member of the community, now laboring at Santa Kosa. brought $75,000, which Harris appropriated. Miss Chevalier declares that she promised to carry on ber warfare against Harris aa long as her means aud strength endure. be pro poses to have tho Tostmaster-general pre vent the circulation of some of Harris's pamphlets and books, which are immoral.

Remarkable Case of Hotel-Keeper McCarthy, Whose Respiration Is 163 m Minute. New York Herald. A medical phenomenon was exhibited last Tuesday by Dr. Edward O. Janeway to a clinic of three hundred students at the liellevue Medical College. It was a roburt, healthy man. whose normal respiration has been lor the past three years at the rate of 1G2 a minute, instead of the natural normal rate of eighteen a minute. The man's breathing was so hard and harsh that every one in the large lecture-room heard it, and it sounded not nnlike a small steam engine. The discovery of the case was largely due to accident. About a week ago a larire, ruddy-looking man walked into the college dispensary breathing so loudly and quickly that every one was startled aud gathered quickly about him to learn bis trouble. He said between breaths for he could not articulate more than three or four words without stopping to breathe seven or eight times that ho was Michael li. McCarthy, proprietor of the West End Hotel, at -No. 101 West street, and wanted to know if the doctors could not cure bis rapid breathing aud rednce it to tbe normal rate. His throat, ho said, was raw from tbe rapid respiration, but otherwise be felt all right. 'I was formerly on tbe police force in Uoston," said he. "One uay late in the fall of lc-SG, I was ttoing homo from the stationhouse, and was riding on the front platform of an electric car. The car suddenly swung around a curve at the corner of Charmont and Dover streets, and I was thrown from tbe platform, landing on the street on the back of my head and shoulders. I became unconscious when I reached home and remained so for ten days. When 1 came out of the unconscious state I immediately beaan to breathe like a steam engine nnder. high pressure, and I have continned doing it ever since. "I can do no hard work, I get ont of breath so quickly, and once or twice a month I fall suddenly nnconsoions and remain so for several hours. Sometimes I breathe so fast the doctors can't count the breaths." Dr. W. R. Green, Dr. Janoway's assistant, made a careful examination of tbe man and decided that not only was the mAn no sham, bat that a case unknown to medical record had been found. He subsequently had McCarthy meet Dr. Janeway, and as a result McCarthy attended tho clinic After a careful examination the doctors said that bis trouble was doe to an injury to the medulla oblongata caused by the fall from the car. The nerves which control the respiratory organs had been shattered and had lost all control of the lungs. . " Dropped Ills Cigar in tbe Box. New York Adrertlfter. The most absent-minded man on record walked up the stairs of the elevated road at theThirtv-third-street station yesterday. He was well dressed, and evidently well satisfied with himself. He smoked a costly cigar, which he transferred from bis month to bis left hand as be bought a single-trip ticket. He paid for the little bit of red pasteboard -with a silver dollar. Then, leisurely picking np the small change with the ticket in the hand encumbered by the cigar, sauntered npto tho ticket-box and dropped the lighted cigsr, thus paralyzing the ticket-chopper. The ticket he still held in bis tinners as be strolled down the platform watting for his train. When the ticket-chopper called bis attention to tbe btander. he passed over a choice Henry Clay. Then the ticket-chopper extinguished tho "snipe'' in the box by crush in it with the ferrule of an umbrella. If any scared coupons are turned into Mr. Jay Gould today this paragraph explains it alL

CAN -INSANE CARDINALS VOTE? Important Question That May Arise at. the . Nest Conelare of the Sacred College. New York Recorder. Cardinal Howard, England's only Prince ot the Koman Church, is insane, and has, during the past three years, been uuder restraint iu England, interned in one ot tbo wings of tbe Duke of Norfolk's ancient Castle of ArnndeL There is no precedent to direct the Sacred College in the question as to whether the loss of Reason involves the loss on the part of ono of its members of his vote at the conclave. In both the British and French Parliaments the vote of any member who may happen to become insane ' is regarded as perfectly valid, even though the fato of the nation may depend thereon. A demented cardinal, however, is a new feature in international and ecclesiastical politics, and considerable interest is expressed as to the manner in which the Sacred College will deal with the case. Ot course, the Pope himself conld solve the diiliculty by degrading Cardinal Howard from nisofiice as a Prince of tbe Church and from his seat in the Sacred College, but he does not ventare to do this for fear of ottendina the Duke of Norfolk and all the powerful clan of Howard. , Until be left Rome in tbe charge of doctors and keepers, three years ago. Cardinal Howard was regarded as the grandestlooking member of a church in which every thing is magnificent. As Archpriest and dean of St. Peter's, at Home, he was ever the most imposing and majestic figure of ail the splendid ceremonies for which that splendid Basilica is famous throughout the world. His stately mien on such ocoasions frequently drew forth the self-satisfied and characteristic remark on the part ox tbe English present, that if Italy was responsible lor the unrivaled architecture, of tbe cathedral. Great Britain, at any rate, bad furnished the only cardinal or pnebt whose appearance was in keeping with the edifice. Tbe graciousness of Cardidai Howard's person was fully in accord with bis talents and attainments. Ho was, without exception, the most . perfect linguist of the Sacred College, speaking Kussian. Arabic, Armenian, German. French, Italian and Spanish with equal fluency. Like Pius IX, who created hi in cardinal in lc77, he commenced lifo as an officer of a crack cavalry regiment, and for seven years he held a commission in the Second Life Guards. It was owing to a romantic a flair de coeur. which made some noise at tbe time, that he forsook the helmet for the tonsure. The Popo occasionally makes some rather sarcastic remarks, and one of them was delivered at tbe expense of France the other oay. "France," ho declared, with a look of humor in bis eye, "is without exception the most paradoxical country in the world. Tho palace of the president of the republic, the Palais de Elysee, bears the name of a paradise in which the French do not believe. Tho palace of the Senate, the Palais du Luxembourg bears that of a city which no longer belongs to France, while tho palace of the Chamber of Deputies, the Palais Bourbon, posseeaes the Lame of a dynasty that has been banished Irom tho country."
