TweLvE Ute Indians, on their way to Washington in charge of a detachment of the Ninth Cavalry, arrived at Pueblo, Col., on the 7th. They had ordered dinner at the i Unjon Depot Hotel, but seeing so large a crowd of pale-faces destroyed their appetites, and they went aboard the train at once and left without eating. Between two thousand and three tfousand people were at the depot to see the gavages. ‘“Hang the red devils,” ‘*‘Shoot the murdering fiends,” and like expressions were frequently heard from a portion of the crowd, and they were pelted -with stone coal by some boys who had taken -a position on a coal train on a side track. The Indians were terror-stricken and completely cowed. A move was afoot in the morning to organize 500 men and lynch the savages, but cooler counsels prevailed, and the eitizens determined to let the Indians pass without injury. The party reached Kansas City, Mo., on the Bth. It comprised Ouray, the " celebrated Ute Chief, and ten other Indians who had been selected by General Hatch to go to Washington. : ; . THE special Senate Committee ap-

pointed to investigate the negro exodus consists of Messrs. Yoorhees, Vance and Pendleton, Democrats, and Windom and Blair, Republicans.

The Greenback editors in attendance upon the Conference organized an asspciation to be known as the GreenbackLabor Press Association, and elected Colonel 8. F. Norton, 9f Chicago, President, and J. H. Randall, of Clyde, Ohio, Secretary. EARLY on the morning of the 9th General Chamberlain issued, from Angusta, Me., an order stating that, ‘‘in view of the extraordinary situation now presented at the seat of Government, I will assume command and protect the public property and institutions of the State, in trust for the people, until the Governor’s successor has been legally elected and duly qualified.”” When the House met, as soon as the reading of the journal was finished, Mr. Swann, of Minot, arose and read a statement that $l,OOO had been paid him not to appear at the organization of the Legislature. He stated that the money had been paid him by Wallace. R. White, of Winthrop, and that he (Swann) should not claim it. Mr. Harriman, of Kennebunk, testified that the same offer had been made to him by White. James B. Clark and Alfred Cushman made substantially similar statements. No business was transacted for want of a quorum. No Republican was present and in the Senate only one put in an appearance. The President of the Senate, Mr. Lamson, having concluded that he had no legal authority to do so, refused to administer the oath of office to memberselect of the Legislature who had not already qualified. In reply to insinuations that he was implicated in the alleged bribery cases, Mr. Blaine telegraphed an emphatic denial and pronounced the insinuations an unqualified calumny. 1l BENxJAMIN C. BoGERT, Treasurer of theé, New York Produce Exchange, died suddenly on the afternoon of the Bth, and, as he had been discovered to be -a defaulter to the amount of about $30,000, it was thought he might have committed suicide.

In his address at the Parnell and Dillon meeting in Brooklyn Henry Ward Beecher said, speaking of England: - ““The Government that has only emigration to offer its people has no right to longer exist.” v

THERE was no quorum in the Maine' House of Representatives on the 10th, and the House adjourned, after a brief session, until the 12th. There was a short session of the Senate, and that body also adjourned until the 12th. On the 11th President Lamson prepared a communication to the Senate announcing that he had decided to assume the duties and exercise the functions of Governor. It was stated that General Chamberlain had notified President Lamson that he would only recognize’ him as a Senator-elect. The property of E. ¥. Pillsbury, the Fusionist ieader, was attached by Ebenezer Sproul for libel. On the mornmg of the 12th a statement was published over the signature of Wallace R. White, in which the statements and affidavits made by Swann and Harriman that they had been tempted by White were declared to be ““absolutely, unqualifiedly and maliciously false.” White adds that he courts the fullest investigation by a properly-consti-tuted Legislature, but will not consent to be investigated by ‘ co-conspirators of Swann and Harriman.” - At EAvu CLAIRE, Wis., a few evenings ago a young servant girl attempted to hurry up a fire by pouring oil from a can into the stove, when the usual explosion followed. The clothing of the girl caught fire and completely wrapped her in flames, and before assistance arrived she was burned to such an extent that it was thought she could not recover.

: LATER. TaE DUnited States Senate on the 12th passed the Military Academy Appropriation bill, with amendments. Mr. Sanders introduced a bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to allot lands in severalty to Indians.

A motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill providing for the importation of salt free of duty was lost—lls to 115— not the necessary two-thirds in the affirmative. CHIEF OURAY was at the Interior Department on the 12th, and had a long interview with Secretary Schurz. The other Indians were guarded very closely. A Waghington *telegram of that date says all the councils were to be in secret, and not even Congressmen would be admitted. THE Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections resumed the taking of testimony in the Kellogg-Spofford case in Washington on the 12th. THE announcement having been made on the morning of the 12th by James D. Lamson, the President of the Maine Senate, that he would assume the duties of Governor, General Chamberlain announced that he should positively refuse to recognize his claims to that position, and that he would recognize no one as Governor who should be chosen by the Legislature’ as then consti~ tuted. He also issued a general order constituting the several counties of,k the State into the First Division Maine Militia, and assigned himself to the command thereof. All officers of all military organizations in the BState were required to report to him. General Chamberlain also reproduced

and republished the order of Governar Garcelon directing him to protect the property and institutions of the State until a Governor was legally elected, and announced that he had accepted the trust and was acting as Governor. On the afternoon of the 12th the Re-. publican members of the Senate and House of Representatives proceeded to the State House for the purpose of organizing a Legislature.

Bmith was declared Senator from Lincoln on the face of the returns; D. A. Locke was chosen President; Charles W. Tilden, Secretary, and Geo. E. Brackett, Assistant. 'An order was adopted directing the appointment of a committee to prepare questions to be submitted to the Supreme Court touching the legality of the organization of the Senate. In the House the form of proceedare was substantially the same, and an organization was effected by the choice of SGeorge E. Weeks as Speaker, and Ormandel Bmith as Clerk. A resolution similar to that adopted by the Scnate was also adopted. During the day Mr. Lamson qualiticd as Governor, and the Fusion Secnate elected Senator Ellis as President pro tem. There was no quorum in the Fusion House. THE strike among the employes at the Union Stock-Yards, Chicagoe, was virtually ended on the 12th, the strikers abandoning the contest without accomplishing their object, which was to exclude the employment by the packers of any but members of the Butchers and Packing-House Men’s Protective Union.

Organization of the Maine Legislature. The following is the Associated Press account of the first and second days’ proceedings in the Maine Legislature, January 7.and 8: : The largest crowd that ever made its way to the State House began to move thitherward as_early as eight o’clock this morning. The llzlxolice at the Capitol were without badges, and ad no appearance of bearing arms. There was a perfect jam in the corridors and halls and stairways, and it was with great difficulty that those allowed to enter the Legislative halls pushed their way thither. There were very many vacant seats in the House, as the Republicans carried out their programme and kept away, a few only moving about in the rear of the hall. There was no disturbance whatever. i IN THE HOUSE. At a quarter to nine the Assistant Clerk of the House, W. E. Gibbs, called the roll for the selection of seats. The Republicans did not respond to their names; neither did the Fusit(_)nists who have been reported as non-aftili-ating. v Mr. Hale claimed that certain elected mem--bers of the House from cities were not on the roll, and moved that they be included. He su(gported his motion in a long speech. " _Great excitement prevailed during Mr. {lale;]s remarks, and uproarious applause folowed. Objections were made to the motion from the other side, and Mr: Hale was ruled out of order by the Assistant Clerk, who refused to put the motion, on which the Republicans withdrew from participating in the proceedings. : A gxessage was then sent to the Governor and Council, stating that a quorum of the members of the House was present, ready to be qualified. ' After the notification to the Governor that a quorum was Kresent, the Governor appeared and qualified the members. He then announced that seventy-six members, being a quorum, had taken and subscribed the necessary oaths, and were regularly and duly constituted the House of Representatives. This announcement was received with wild apé)lause from the outside. overnor Garcelon said he now put into their hands the opinion of the Supreme Court, as well as the petitions of gentlemen from certain cities claiming seats, and invoked their careful consideration of the same. - Three cheers were given for Governor Garcelon, tollowed by prolonged hisses. . The quorum is made of seventy-five Fusionists and one Republican—Eugene¢ Hale. The Fusionists not participating are Sproul, of Veazie; Voter, o? Farmington, and Snow, of Skowhegan. ; . The House proceeded to organize by the election’ of John C. Talbot as Speaker by a vote of 72—no quorum. Mr. Hale objected. Overruled, and Mr. Talbot was conducted to the chair. Three cheers were given for Mr. Hale. f\% E. Gibbs was chosen Clerk by & vote of 74. Mr. Hale again raised the point that no quorum voted, but was again overruled. The Republicans claim fraud in counting a quorum, and that names were signed to the list of persons not present. H. Carlton Cheever was chosen Assistant Secretary by a vote of 68. Again was the point raised that no quorum voted, and again was it overruled. The question of notifyirgg the Senate of organization was debated, Mr. Hale taking the ground that there had been no legal organization of the House and no other body could be informed thereof. Overruled. The protest of members from five cities was presented by Mr. Hale, who proceeded to address the House in an impressive and telling speech, urging that the people of Maine are waiting with most intense anxiety for a settlement of these cases, The only way to allay the great excitement prevailing is to admit these members, who are clearly elected according to the expressed decision of the Supreme Court. This course will alone propitiate the people of Maire. He moved that the House go into Committee of the Whole and consider the cases. This Legislature ought not to take a single step until even-handed justice is done. ~The House refused to go into Committee of the Whole, five voting in the affirmative, and ' the matter was referred to the Committee on ' Elections, when gsuch committee is appointed. The Farmington and other cases were also referred. - Rl : Mr. Dickey remarked that the Supreme Court had nothing to do with the action of the Legislature, which drew forth a plea from Hale, defending the Court and asking that Constitutional barriers be not swept away. He said that the election of officers and the laws passed by this body as now constituted would not be legal. - - At three p. m. the House adjourned. IN THE SENATE. Atten o’clock the Senators-elect were called to order by Samuel M. Lane, Secretary of the last Senate. ‘ Prayer was offered by Rev. Samuel Up@ohn. The roll was called, and all the members, without exception, responded to their names. ~ Senator Locke, of Cumberland, at once gfiained the floor and read a protest from the :Republican members against the Senate pro‘ceedings.- : The Secretary refused to entertain the motion, and a message was sent to the Governor | and Council informing them that the mem-bers-elect were present for the purpose of bein% qualified. B The Governor and Council appeared and the -oaths were administered. Senator Locke then renewed his motion, but the Secretary would not entertain it. , . The election of the President of the Senate then began, the Republicans refusing to serve on committees or participate in the election of the officers. The Senate elected James D. Lamson President. : A grotest was put in by the Republican members that the election was not by the legally-elected members.

SECOND DAY. Both branches assembled at ten o’clock. There was no conll.garison between the crowd and that of yesterday. . Immediately on the opening of the Senate, ?ev;'xiator Hobson, of Lincoln, offered the tolowing: + “ Ordered, That a joint select committee of ihree on the part of the Senate, with such as the House ma{ appoint, be appointed by the Chair to investigate the charges of bribery and intimidation alleged to have been attempted on members of the Legislature since they recejved their certificates, with power to send for gersons an%(rapers: and that the commitee be instructed to commence its investiga-~ tion to-day on the adjournment of this sesgion, and report as soon as may be.” - This order was opposed by Senators Locke, Harris, Berry and other Republicans, on the g'round that there was not even a street rumor for the charge of bribery on the part of the Senate. If so, thei would %adly apgoint it. If members of the House had been ribed or intimidated, then the investigation should begin there. The order was passed. On the opening of the House, the Speaker invoked good order, and intimated that the scenes enacted Xesterday by outsiders would not be repeated. He had scarcely finished speaking when the doors were opened and the windows thrown up, and the impatient crowd rushed in. After the people entered, quiet

! was again resfored, but at one time trouble seemed imminent. . The records of yesterday were read, and showed the fact that not more than seventytwo votes were thrown for any candidate voted for. : Mr. Hale announced the g{resence of sixty certified members, being the Republicans who withdrew yesterday, who were ready to be qualified. They were conducted to the Coun"cil Chamber, but Acting-Governor Lamson declined to ql\’mlify them at present, as he did not. know the extent of his ipowers in that direction, but should inform himself. The House then quietly adjourned. | ——————l O e ) { INDIANA STATE NEWS.

MINNIE FILLMORE, of Logansport, afflicted with cancer and domestic trouble, “ate her breakfast and then went to the Wabash River, plunged in, and was seen no more. THE Attorney General has given the following interesting opinion: : DEAR Sir: Your favor of yesterday received. The decision of the Superior Court of Marion County, holding that the attempted exemption of widows, ete., from taxation on %500 of property under certain circumstances is unconstitutional, is: so manifestly right ‘that I think the taxes should be collected without regard to the provisions of Section 7 ot the Tax and Assessment law of 1872.

National Board of Health Report. * WASHINGTON, January 11. The annual report of the National Board of Health, containing an account of operations for the past year, will probably be transmitted to Congress to-morrow. The work of collécting information and advice from the principal sanitary organizations and sanitarians of the United States as to the best plan for a National Public Health organization, including the subject of quarantine, both maritime and inland, is reported as hav‘in% been quite successful, and after carefully examining the data thus collected the Board is of opinion that the conclusions heretofore published by the American Publie Heafth Association at the meeting of that body at Nashville in NoVem%)er, 1879, may be taken as fairly representing the opinions of leading sanitarians and most important sanitary organizations of this country. It has been decided by the Board that for the present completo quarantine establishments- are only needed at Boston, New York, Philadegphia, near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, Charleston, Savannah, near Brunswick, Ga., or Fernandina, Fla., near Ship Island, Miss., and at some point on the Texas coast. The total expense of establishintg quarantine -stations dt the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, the one near Brunswick and the one at Ship Island, which are considered most important, is estimated at s¥oo,ooo, and as each of them is for the protection of several. States it is considered to be eminently l}‘:roper and desirable that they should e equipped’ and maintained- by the United States. It is the opinion of the Board that if, during the present winter, at all points where fever has prevailed during the past summer, care be taken to obtain a thorough ventilation and exposure to coid of all houses and inclosed spaces, and all bedding, clothing, etc., and if local sanitation be properly car‘ried out, there will be little danger of epidemic yellow fever next year from causes now existing in this|country. It is believed inspection stations for steamboats should be-established onthe Mississippi River at New Orleans, Vicksburg, just below Memphis and at Cairo, at which all. boats should be examined by competent inspectors, and certificates as to the sanitary condition of ‘the boat - given.. The cost of ° establishing these stations is estimated at - $35,000. The expenditures of the Board from the date of organization to December 31, 1879, were $£154,002. - The estimates for defraying the future expenses of the Board were. submitted as follows: From January 1 to Jure 30, 1880, $284,330; from July 1, 1880 to dJune 30, 1881, - 8202,060. Itis also adviséd that an appropriation of about $lOO,OOO be made to hold in reserve for emergency or occurrence of such epidemic as that of 1879, and to be used solely for the purposes of inland * quarantine in case of such outbreak: ‘.

- The Recent Eclipse of the Sun. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., January 11. A Call special from Fresno says: ‘“ The line of totality of the eclipse of the sun passed ten miles north of this place. The weather was ' perfectly clear. At forty-five minutes past two o’clock the first contact was visible, and at fifty-three minutes past three. the obscuration became total. As the last ray of the sun disappeared, a . corona of clear white light, entirely encircling the moon, flashed into view, brilliant at the edge of the moon and paling toward. the outer limit of th% halo. Next, along the- border of the lower left third of the moon, appeared an = irregular fringe 'Ofl brilliant, sparkling, primitive red and purple light, while at the top of the moon was a bright yellow triangle of light, equal in heéight to one-sixth of the diameter of its disk. A similar but smaller triangle appeared at the center of the right side, and from the upper and lower right side projected broad faint rays. This appearance lasted thirty-one seconds. The corona remained a few minutes longer. The sun disappeared behind the coast range before the eclipse had entirely passed. During the obseryation the horses of the party showed signs of extreme uneasiness, and the fowls of the neighboring ranches sought their roosts. At Salinas, where the eclipse was also total, the thermometer fell eight degrees during the totality. - —Courtships are said to average fhree tons of coal each..~N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
