BEN AT OR BBUCE AND THE CADI NET. The following item was published in tho Evening .News oi Saturday last: A Modest Colored Man, Washington Special. Speaking of the talk of his probable appointment in Garfield's cabinet, Senator Bruce said that he was not qualified for a place in the cabinet, and even if he were his appointment would lead to social complica tions at the capital that would be inconvenient. We pronounce it a base fabrication by some malicious Negro-hating correspondent. It escaped our notice until the raiddlo of the week. On our attention being called to it wo at once sent tho item to Senator Brueo

His contradiction will no doubt reach

us before thcso lines are read. Wc shall hand it to the News, which, to-day, will no doubt make tho amend honorablo by publishing the Senator' contradiction. Senator Bruce never uttered such a sentiment, and, wc tru3t, our contemporaries will givo his contradiction the the widest possible circulation. Later: Just as we go to press the following telegram is received from Senator I3ru.ce: It. B. Bagby, Indianapolis, Iod. Washington-, D. C, Jan. 21, 1881. The Washington Special in the Indianapolis Evening New9 of Saturday last, to which you call my attention, is manufactured out of whole cloth. No such conversation has occurred.

Judge Linsay, of Howard, placed General Harrison in nomination for U. S. Senator in aepeech, which was a very neat tribute to tho ability and character of our next Senator. Among those who seconded the nomination of General Harrison, was Hon. Dick T. Morgan, of Vigo, one of the youngest members of the House. The gentleman's speech was pithy and eloquent, and delivered in a manner which stamps Mr. M. as one of tho coming men from tho Wabash.

We wero glad to hear thia, for it had been asserted that colored students would not bo admitted to the College, and the allege prejudice of Colonel Nichols against colored people has been given as a reason for the exclusion of the pupils of the colored school, from the concerts which are annually given in aid of the Uollejre fund by the school children of the city.

Atlantic and Pacific and American Union lV, U'iLiVliiV Will I aK(L1113L L11C iwfr-rii Telegraph Companies, to Prevent th nrnrwwwl consolidation, lie has obtained an injunction restraining the defendant's Companies from enter ing into any agreement 01 consolidation and from increasing their capital stock, and other matters. The Times says: "The plainti.Tiu the case, Mr. Rufus Hatch, is the owner of 100 shares of the American Union Com nan v's stock, and thi nt is in behalt of himself and all other stockholders of the American Union Company M ho mav come in and claim tne benefit sought to be procured by its means that is. a prevention of the consoli dation of the three Teleeraph Companies. Mr. Hatch says in his complaint that the American Union Telegraph Company was started to overcome a monopoly which was created when the Western . Union Telegraph Company obtained the control of the Atlantic and Pacific Company, and to bring about a healthy competitioa whi ch inures to the nenent or tne commercial public. He says that when be became a stockholder in the American Union he expected to make large profits from the ronage which the public generally would give i an advocate of cheap telefrraphir.e. and that the American Union has now. by the expenditure of about SlO.tKjo.OO'J.procured as complete a system of telegraph lines and equipments as that which is possessed py tne western Union Company, whose capital stock of $10.000.000 represent the value of Its lines and eauinments. with it capital of 810,000.000. Mr. Hatch says the Ameri can Union .can earn as much as the Western Union, with its 510.000 capital, and that the divi dends of the Amcricau Union would, therefore. be four times as large as those of the Western Union. He allenes that the combination, or con spiracy, has been entered into between the Di rectors of his Company and of the other Com. panies, for the purpose of their own gain and emolument, and not for the benefit of the stockholders of those Companies. To consolidate all Lines and Companies and to re-erect monopoly in telegraph business in the United KtRtP for that purpose, he says, thoseDireetora propose to issue an additional i apital of Sto.ooo.ono. to h added to the existing cipital of $10,000.000 o! the Western Union Telegraph Ompany-, which tne $10,000,000 additional capital la to be distributed in shares without any cash being paid in return for such shares. The additional capital of to.000,000, he says, Is to represent materials that cost only $10.000.000. Mr. Hatch alleges that this is contrary to the Interest, of trad a and commerce, and Is against the policy of law, aud that the Board of Directors of the American Union Company have no power to aell out that Company.

He was then asked ii he had any objection to any member of the Court Ex Governor Chamberlain, of the counsel, said they had no challenge strictly to offer.

Applause and laughter I do not think it necessary for you of the North and West and us of the South to be particularly "gushin " over each other on that question. We are getting along admirably. 1 am sure that when I came out of the Confederacy fifteen vears ago, and pawned my watch in Cincinnati, 1 did not think I would receive a hospitable entertainment from the press of the city of Chicago inside of fifteen years. I think we are getting along admirably. I think we are getting along better and better every year. Churches are coining together; great business institutions are coming together. The mere talk of sectionalism does not hinder us from taking the hand of the others; it does not obstruct any feeling which we experience in our hearts.

Applause. After tlie Chinese Companies. San Francisco, Jan. 20 For years It has been the custom of the Chinese Six Companies here to allow no Chinaman to leave for china without a receipt from one of the Companies that he was clear from debt and had paid his dues. The system was really a blackmailing scheme, upon which the Six Companies thrived, as the Companies had a contract with the Pacific Mail and Occidental Companies, preventing any Chinaman Failing on their steamers. At the last session of the Legislature a bill was passed making it a misdemeanor for any .Steamship Company to refuse passage to any person who paid the fare. The law was taken advantage of bv intelligent Chinamen, notwithstanding all kinds of intimidation used to prevent their leaving without paying the Company their demands. Latterlv. however, the Six Companies hnve been successful in levying their taz on outgoing chinamen, especially those from the Interior. To counteract this, Chief-of-Police Crowley, of this citv, recently issued a circular in Chinese, notifying intending passengers to China that they could go homo bv simply purchasing their paspa?e tickets, and tha't the police could be depended upon to protect them from the Company. These notices have been posted in every Chinese camp on the Coast To-day it was discovered that the Six Companies had circulated a counter statement, stating that any one attempting to come without paying his uuvo, nuuw w rrrsieu, auu ii ne tost ni$ money or baggage he would have only himself to blame. The Chinaman who printed the Company's circular has been arrested. The authorities are determined to break up the blackmailing practice. Ingersoll on Refunding. ISpecial to the Cincinnati Commercial.

INDIANAPOLIS, and a pest. The banks have been talked about a great deal as the source of a loan. hen the Government wants money it rushes to the banks. Bankers know nothing about the worth of money. Put a man in a bank for six months, and he has not heart enough to istock a humming bird. When France wanted money the Rothschild tried to squeeze the country and the Government called on the people for a loan, and the next day there was a line of poor men and women, in blue blouses, a mile long, with their little sums, if it was not more than a rive-franc piece, and the money was realized. I tell vou the sooner the Government learns to look to the folks when it wants help, the better it will be for it. If the country wants money, all our farmers out West will have a hundred dollars or so to spare, even if lie owes to somebody else. 1 am in favor of National Savings Hanks, where the ioor can mit in thpir small surplus and get it out again through me pioiecuon ot tne Government. I had some money in a Savings Hank once, and I took it out aain. I thought I might as well pend it as the fellows who r;in flip n.'itilr This Government Savings Hank in what T want, but if we can't get that I want .1 lrml so fixed that every man, woman and child who saves $10 can have some ot it. As to this bond, the rate is all riL'.it. nrovi.le.1 tbo time for it to run was fixed to suit, but it is not. Hut we want a bond tn suit ihn tw.i.t not the banks." A Itroker's Romance. Wall Street Daily N-ws. It is a very touchins incident. We I.Mnl a Southern editor telling it on an Elevated train yesterday, and he was in a great hurry uuiuc auu put 11 in ms paper and make an allidavit that it was true. The scene of the romance opens in a palatial mansion in New York. A ladv sit in parlor , rilled with the most costl v'luxuries. Diamonds as big as filberts glitter in her ears. Lace costine $.iG ier vanl almmt hides the color of her dress f min sich r clock costing $18.000 strikes tho l.mirf p. m. At this moment her husband rushes into the house, pale, haggard, susIenders broken, hat bunged up, and his boots all mud. "Have you have you camrht the pt.irnotic?' she irasm as she starts tin. "Oh wife! we are busted ruined cone up smashed Hat as a shinde!" he moaned ri reply. "How?" "I inve.ted $75.000 in the Crootpd V.Wer Railroad at ninety-eiaht. and it has declined to four! Jav Gould has bought mid mnsnl. idated it! We must leave th is ivilncp nnrl all these luxuries and works of art and take two fourth-story rooms over in Brooklyn." fene laughed merrily and lorn?. Had tlm sudden news crazed hpr? Ha t) had, but he waa green. She left the room for a moment and then returned with a pillow-case containing $200,000 in greenbacks. "Let the Crooked River Railroad crook away!" she laughed as she emptied the money at his feet. "You have given me this money during the last five years, a few thousand dollars at a time, to buy little articles of toilet. I bad saved it up to get a fair of stockings for Sunday, but I cheerully hand it over to my good husband to set him on his inns again. Take, it, my darling, and if you can get a whack at Jay Gould bite him hard and I'll back you with the $50,000 I had laid away to send to the heathen on Christmas!" They embraced. All was joy and peace. It is said that Vanderbilt seriously contemplates building a new railroad up the west bank of the Hudson to Albany, to relieve the overcrowded Hudson River RaiU road.
