Special to the Sentinel: - SHEi.BTViia.k, Ind., March 3. Marietta, a small village In this county, eight miles west of here, has to-day been intensely excited by a. row between a school trustee and a teacher, each supported by a crowd of partisans. The. -fTnir verv near culminated in a bloody affray. and as it was, la of sufficient importance ta Inst If u a detailed description. James G. Kennedy, a young man of this city, has been. teaching the Marietta scnooi ror ine lasi six months. It seems, however, that recently a bitter . feud has v sprung : up between nim and George Doran, ' the treas urer ' of - the Marietta ' scnooi . ooara, For sometime past, he has been determined to oust Kennedy at all hazards, and to this end hired another teacher, on Saturday last a young man of this vicinity, by the name of Chester Wilson, in company - witu um new teacher, Doran repaired to the school house, this mornius, and took possession. Wilson - was duly installed, and a carpenter put to

work to place a new lock on the door, leaving Kennedy in possession of the original key. In a short time Kennedy made his appearance on. the scene with a numerous band of enthusiastic followers, . and then the fun commenced. Doran remarked to Wilson that be was now In possession of the sohool, at which Kennedy seized a poker and . advanoed

upon bin, amid the ' cheers of his supporters to "give It to him." The odds seemed all against Do ran for awhile and he beat a hasty retreat to the door, followed by his demoralized forces. At this critical juncture, however, "he received Important reinforcements In the shape of an old man by the name of Abernathey, supported on either flank by bis wife and daughter, both viragos of the most warlike type. They proved themselves ready with tongue and hand to aid the waning fortunes of the school treasurer. The belligerent females immediately set upon Kennedy's cohorts with clubs, and belabored them in the mojt vicious manner. striking right and left with great vigor. Young James Munson, one of Kennedy's chief lieutenants, was hit upon the head several times with clubs, and would have been knocked down had not his friends caught him. So the con flict raged, fast and furious, for some time, with varying fortunes to the contending forces. . Finally, the school treasurer Was forced to retreat with his Amozonlan cohorts. which he did sullenly, with a drawn pistol In his band, and breathln vengeance. Kenne dy and Wilson both remained in tbe school house the balance of the day, glaring at each other across the desks. The children all went home, but a large crowd of their parents and other friends of Kennedy remained with, their chief. . The forces .are resting on - their -' arms to-.vltht with the intention of renewing the str-tfle in the morning. It is feared there may be a dangerous collision between the factions, as great excitement and much bod blood exists in the city, every man, woman and child of which is arrayed on one side or the other. Marietta has long been noted for the conten tious and quarrelsome character of many of her citizens, and tbe present difficulty Is but a repetition of what occurs there every lew months. Most of their rows originate over scncol troubles, for which the town has become famous, and -which have made it a nuisance to the county. ' GREEVSBCR6. A Brilliant Wedding Handsomely De scribed.)

Special to the Sentinel: . Washington, March 3. It is claimed by those who have been here for many years that the closing hours of Congress were never marked by a scene of such wild confusion. The fmntlc efforts of Mr. Springer, chairman of the committee to investigate Seward, to secure a vote on tbe articles of Impeachment are being strenuously opposed by the Republicans, who are insisting upon the reading of the majority and minority report of the Potter committee. The sergeant-at-arma had to be called within with his mace to preserve order, and it looks as If the entire night would be spent in the attempt to keep the Seward case before the House. -'.. At 11 p.m. all the appropriation bills are disposed of, except the army and leglalatlv bills, and us the latter contains the repeal of tbe election law. little hopes are entertained of . reaching a compromise, although rumors - are plentiful to the . effect thut an arrangement has been effected by which the Senate will consent to the repeal of the test oath for jurors, and to prohibit the use of troops at the polls, while the House will consent to an amendment of the law - to appoint supervisors, wbieh will divide the ap pointing power between the two parties. The president and members of the cabinet are at the capital engaged in the examination and signing of bills. It is estimated that tbe crowd In the galleries and the corridors of the capital Is greater than was ever before known on a-similar occasion-. . The Other Side Minority Beport of the Potter Committee. W AfHttSfiTON, March 8. The minority of the Pottrr investigating committee, composed of Messrs. Hlscock.tox and Reed, presented their report this afternoon. In U thy dissent from the views presented in the report of the majority, both as to to the pretense of the same, to the investigation and to the conclusions expressed upon the testimony taken, but they Hike pleasure la testifying that tbe- rullugs of the onairmen ana his manner of ' dtreotlng : business . were markod by the most equitable and even generous spirit. They dlBered from the majority as to some of the res olutlons adopted by f hem. limiting the scope of the Investigation.;, but thi d&derence of Judgment did not diminish their sense of personal courtesy shown tbem. The refer to the origin, of the committee, pointing out that the original resolutions for Its appointment did not ask for a general Investigation of all the fronds connected with the last presi dential election, bat only what might be found In the act of officials and persona of one po liticai party, In only twoof the States In which fraudulent practices were charged. They say they tooksthtt view of the affair in the com mlttee, but the majority paid no attention, to . them. . They say that the proof shows that no frauds were committed in' Morula, Louisiana or South Carolina, notwithstanding tbe report ot the majority. They also charge that the only at tempts at fraud were made by the Democrats, which Is shown by the cipher dispatches' That Sherman never wrote the letter that It is charged he did, and that there was no testimony brought out to prove he did They also say that the members of the return lng boards who were charged with wanting to sell out ' only . made . the offers to see how far they could draw on Tllden, the charge that Governor Tllden did know of the attempts to purchase of the members of the returning boards, and was willing to hava it done. The report concludes with a request that tba House pay no attention to the suggea tlons of the minority regarding the ehanglng of the election laws, that if tbey do, it will bring ruin and dlagrace upon the country.

Tennessee's Debt How Bonda Have Been lasued Against tbe Law. Nashville, Tenn., March 8. The lezislatlve committee to Investigate the validity of Tennessee's bonded debt. have made their " report ' The report says the v-outstanding bonds which have been registered and renewed number 20,219. The outstanding bonds not registered and re newed are IS!. There are outstanding of nil bonds issued before the war, and constituting the debt proper, 2,105,000. The remainder of 21,008- outstanding to-wlt, 18.903 are bonds issued before and since the war, in aid of railroads. Of the outstanding bonds there are over 10,000,000 post bellum. The committee iays: That on the issuance of 11,221 bonds. In nearly every instance the condition of the law was not observed; also, that the greater part of the present debt is the result of corrupt legislation, superinduced by corporate bodies peeking State aid. The committee ventures no legal opinion as to the litigation between certain of the bondholders and railroads to enforce the lien of the former but declares that the sale of the roads waa secured, in order that the property might be obtained at a heavy sacrifice. To the Inquiry if any bonds were issued in violation of the law, the committee reply that at least seven of the conditions of the la w were not com piled with. The funding act of 187S pro vides that only legally Issued bonds be funded. The committee claims that of the 11,220,000 issued before and since tbe war or sold in violation of the 'law, hence their adjustment should not rest on any assump tion of legally authorized contract. The act to fund the interest accruing dnring the war waa passed .. when passion. and demoralization . . were prevalent. The larger number of the bonds outstanding Issued nnder the funding act of 1873 embrace either directly or through the result of legislative transmutation, tbe Interest or principal of the bonds issued to railroads nnder the act of W5Z. The committee further charge that the condition of tbe law was not observed in tbe issue of . the bonds to turnpikes. In 1866, when the people were al lowed no voice in the State and Government 1,911,000, were Illegally added to the State debtThe'jrear following 5AU)00inore were corruptly added to the debt.' One man of influence with the governor, ot 803 bonds without a warrant of law. - A tabular statement la sub mitted with the report to show the dispropor tion between the number ol bonds received by many railroads and the number they were en titled to, as well as the small amount of private stock subscribed, as an official demon stration of fraud. - That the act of 1SU9, when the roads were allowed to retire their indebtedness operates as an estoppel agalm.t the people as to the outstanding debt Is dc. nied. Legislative Investigation of that year discloses frauds In the kwuance of bonds to railroads. Efforts to reject the fraudulent issue then were paralysed by threats of reconstruction. The report does not concur In the assertion that the ante and past war bonds were sold and purchased without distinction. The report Is signed by five of the committee The other two. Senator Ciapp and Represen tative Smith, of Memphis, - will submit minority report dissenting from some of the legal points advanced by the majority. Aid for tbe Ben Sufferers The Cbtneae - .

Senator But ler to-day introduced in the Senata of West Virginia a Joint resolution instructing the board ol publto works to regulate the rates of charges for transportation of freight and pas sengers over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad within this State. The senator claims that nnder the act of the General Assembly of Virginia of 1887, whenever the net profits of tbe Baltimore and Ohio railroad equals the amount of capital stock of such corporation the board o public works shall thereafter regulate the c Arges of such road, so that the profits shall not net over 6 per cent, of the capital stock, Should this leoolutlon be adopted by both branches of the Legislature it will decrease the rates of freight to one cent per ton per mile.
