J. J. Cox gave a birthday supper to some of his friends last evening, at which Prof. Miller, leader of the orchestra at the Theater Comique, was an invited guest, and played several solos on the violin, and was made the recipient of $17 by the assembled guests. The supper was a very pleasant affair.

THE Grand Jury returned forty-one indictments yesterday afternoon and nineteen this morning, making in all sixty. This industrious body will adjourn Monday or Tuesday of next week, after having performed the duties incumbent upon them in the most faithful and efficient manner.

RICIIINGS' OPERA. —AS RichIrigs English Opera will soon visit this city, it will no doubt be a matter of interest to our readers to read the following dispatch to the Chicago Times:

DETROIT, March 8.—The Richings English Opera Troupe is singing- to full houses here this week, and meeting with great success

Nyw ROUTE TO THE SOUTH.—On Monday morning the new route to Nashville will be opened by the way of Evansville. The E. & C. R. R. train leaving this city at 6:25 A JM. makes close connection at Evansville with the new road just opened from Henderson to Nashville direct. This shortens the distance to Nashville about seventy miles, and upon the completion of the Danville Road to Chicago will make a great through route for passengers and freights to all irts of the South. In a few weeks the Nashville Road will have it track laid up the river to a point opposite Evansville, and will then put in a boat to transfer cars, and thus avoid the breaking of bulk for all freight shipped south of the Ohio river. Persons goiug South will bear this in mind and save going around by the way of Louisville.

A VKKY handsome and costly monument was received here yesterday and was sent out to Crown Hill Cemetery, to be placed over the grave of Laura Tuttle, the lamented daughter of Perry E. Tuttle, Esq., formerly of this city, but now of Terre Haute, "it is a representation of "Hope," arul is made of the finest Italian marble. It is said to be the most beautitul monument that has yet been placed in that city of the dead.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

The above item will call to the minds of many of our readers that awful tragedy that robbed one of our most respected families of a member of whom it can be truly said, "to know her was to love her." It is but fitting that this most amiable, beautiful and accomplished lady, whose untimely and tragic fate caused a family not only but a city to mourn, should be honored with the finest monument that graces that silent city of the dead—Crown Hill Cemetery. May the emblematic representation of "Hope" cheer her bereaved family in their hours of loneliness and sorrow.

DWELLING HOUSES.—A need long and sorely felt in our community, is the need of dwelling houses to rent. The establishment of the nail works and other manufacturies has brought into our midst quite a large number of laborers, -•many of whom have brought large families. They of course have to rent dwelling housed, or board their families at private boarding houses, which, if their families cousistof two or three members, will necessarily absorb all their wages in liquidating their bills for board. It is not difficult to see that the only way for themto subsist is by keeping house, and as it is at present, it is almost impossible for them to secure suitable abodes at such prices as as they receive for their labor.

We do not think that we exaggerate when we assert that at least two hundred new dwelling houses could be rented at good prices to good paying tenants this coming spring, summer and autumn, were they erected. 'v Let some of our capitalists take this matter in hand, and on their vacant lots jk, .have a number of small neat dwellings erected, and thus not only improve the

City, but provide for those whom their enterprise, in the way of manufacturers, I has attracted here, while at the same time it will enhance the value of their property.

A MATTER OF RECORD.—There are four persons incarcerated in the Marion county jail on charge of murder, according to the Indianapolis Sentinel, as follows: "Captain Ben Johnson, for the killing of Hickman B. Hall Gottlieb Wachstotter, for shooting Albert Christy Mrs. Nancy E. Clem, for the double murder of Jacob Young and Nancy Jane, his wife Lewis Morrill, for assault and battery upon John Graham with intent to commit murder, in the secoud degree." With such a record as the above, it comes with poor grace from Indianapolis papers when they are constantly vilifying and ridiculing Terre Haute and Vigo couuty. They had better first clear their own records and then assail ours.

WASHINGTON, March 10. House.

Mr. Dawes offered a resolution increasing the number of members of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds to nin^, and including within its jurisdiction all public buildings being constructed by the government. Adopted.

Mr. Conger introduced a joint resolution construing the Internal Revenue law of July 19tli, 1870, so as to provide for admission of animals specially imported for breeding purposes, free of duty, rrom the Dominion of Canada. Passeii.

Mr. Hill introduced a bill to abolish the fraukin.ur privilege and repeal the income tax. Referred.

Mr. Dawes introduced a deficiency bill, appropriating $141,555, and proceeded to explain how it became necessary in the first item to pay additi mal clerks in the Pension office. It was necessitated by the bill of the last session granting pension to soldiers of the war of 1812. The next item was for a deficiency of So,000 in the contingent fund of the House. The necessity for that arose from the fact that since the last appropriation of $15,000 for that fund, S10,000 had been paid out under resolutions of the House to contestants of seats, making the gross sum §114,374 paid from time to time during the last Congress to persons whom the House decided had no right to a dollar of it. The item of 85,000 for Scheldt dues, was the difference in the value of gold and paper money on an amount stipulated in a treaty. Another item was for the salary of an officer created about two months ago, and not provided for in the general appropriation bills.

Mr. Tate offered an amendment adding on item of $25,000 for a Postoffice building atOmaha, Nebraska. Adopted. The bill then passed.

Mr. Hale moved to go into a Committee of the Whole on the bill to repeal duties on salt, and moved that all debate thereon under the five minute rule cease in forty-five minutes.

The motion to limit discussion to fortyfive minutes was agreed to, and the motion to go into a Committee of the Whole was then agreed to, and the House at 2 o'clock went into a Committee of the Whole, Mr. Dawes in the Chair, and resumed the consideration of the bill to repeal the duties on salt and coal.

Mr. Blair, of Michigan, offered an amendment reducing the duty on salt to 10 cents per 100 pounds in bulk, and 16 cents per 100 pounds in sacks. He said that his opposition to the bill was based upon his unwillingness to go into the question of the tariff in this matter. He counseled the House not to follow the lead of any man in assailing the tariff iu parts, for he assured the House there was not a single item in the tariff bill that could stand alone and by itself. It was only because they were parts of a system that they could be sustained at all.

Mr. Cwx submitted some statistics in reference to the anthracite trade. He referred to the business of one colliery in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, which was organized in 1859, which increased itsstocis to$8U,0J0 in I860, which in 1861 paid 14 per cent, profit, and reserved a large surplus. In 1862 it p.iid 85 percent., a ad reserved a large surplus, then watered it stock raising it to $500,000, and paid 24 per cent, on that increased capital. Not one doliar in cash had been added to the capital, and had last year paid 12 per cent, on that $500,000, reserving a much larger sum from its earnings than it had divided.

Mr. Buell opposed the repeal of duties on salt. He said that a good deal had been said about the Onondaga monopoly. The fact was, for the last two years, that compauy had lost money. In 1869 it had lost more than $12,000, and in 1870 more than $294,000. If salt were placed on the free lrst, the Onondaga Salt Company, which gave employment to more than 15,000 men, whose interests were identified with a large portion of the country, would have to stop its business.

Mr. Randall offered an amendment to put tea and coffee on the free list. He hoped the tariff would be revised in a comprehensive manner, so as to relate to all matters in it, or else some general percentage reduction should be agreed on. He protested against the proposed manner ot legislation, which picked out certain interests and legislated for them, to the injury of particular sections, without creating any corresponding benefit to the whole country.

Mr. Garfield supported the bill, and referred to the argument of Mr. Blair, that coal must take salt, and salt take something else by the hand, and all interests unite.their forces.

Mr. Stevenson moved to amend by putting lumber, timber and wood of ail kinds on the free list.

After further discussion by Messrs. Kelly and Hale, debate ended. Mr. Leach moved to amend the bill by reducing internal tax on manufactured tobacco to 12 cents per pound. Negatived.

Mr. Myers moved to make the internal tax on manufactured tobacco 16 cents per pound. Agreed to.

Mr. Randall's amendment to repeal the duties on tea and coffee was agreed to. This action on the part of the committee was favored and supported by the opponents of the bill, for the purpose of loading it down with amendments, and thus defeating it.

Mr. Myers moved to reduce the tax on brandy distilled from apples and peaches to seventy-five cents a gailon. Agreed to.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, moved to put potatoes on the free list. Agreed to. Mr. Kerr moved to put bunting on the free list. Agreed to.

Mr. Stevenson moved to put barley and malt on the free list. Referred. Mr. Kelley offered as an amendment the whole present tariff law. The reading of the amendment would have occupied several hours. .After the Clerk had been reading for some minutes, a motion K-as made that the committee rise, which was agreed to.

The Speaker appointed on the Committee on Elections, Messrs. Upson, of Ohio, and Hazleton, of Wisconsin, instead of Stevenson and Finkleburg, excused.

Mr. Hoar introduced a bill to grant certain articles of machinery to the Industrial Home School of the District of Columbia. Passed.

Mr. Lansing offered a resolution requiring the undistributed public documents of the last Congress to be taken to the present. Agreed to.

Mr. Beck introduced a bill for removal of all legal aud political disabilities. After argumeuts in its favor by Messrs. Beck and Farnsworth, the House at 4:30, adjourned until Monday.

Senate.

Iu the absence of the Vice President, on motion or'Mr. Sumner, Mr. Anthony was unanimously chosen President pro tem. of the Senate, and the Secretary was ordered to communicate the fact to the President of the United States and House of Representatives.

A motion to adjourn till Monday was defeated by a tie vote. Mr. Howe then asked unanimous consent of the Senate to proceed to the election of standing committees of the Sen ate.

V, r"- 4

and therefore did not require unanimous consent. Mr. Howe moved to proceed to the election of committees, and the motion was agreed to.

Mr. Howe then moved to suspend the thirty-fifth rule of the Senate, requiring the election of standing committees by ballot.

Mr. Wilson objected to the suspension of the rules. Mr. Howe said the usual method of electing committees was by suspension of the rule, but that any member had the right to insist that the election should be by ballot, though that would subject the'Senate to the trouble of preparing ballots.

4

Mr. Sherman remarked that the ballot must be taken if a member insisted upon it.

Mr. Conkling called for the reading of the thirty-fifth rule, which was read by the Secretary.

Mr. Howe then moved that the Senate proceed, by ballot to elect a Chairman of the Committee on Finance, whereupon Mr. Wilson withdrew his objection, and Mr. Howe withdrew his motion just made, and submitted a resolution with a list of standing committees determined upon by the Republican caucus. The list has been published. The vacancy for a Democrat upon the Committee on Manufactures was filed by Mr. Blair.

Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, was assigned to the Committee on Agriculture, Revolutionary Claims, and Engrossed Bills.

Mr. Schurz moved to postpone further consideration of the committees until tomorrow.

Mr. Sumner. Before that motion is put I wish my friend, Mr. Schurz, would allow me to make another motion, in the nature of a suggestion.

Mr. Schurz withdrew his motion, and Mr. Sumner proceeded "I ask that my name be eliminated from the Committee on Privileges and Elections. I observe that I am placed at the head of that important committee, and I most respectfully ask to be excused from serving. I presume it is better for me, before the Senate act on the report, to have that amendment made. I therefore ask that the report be amended by striking my name from the committee."

Mr. Sherman said after the committees were organized, any Senator who insisted upon being relieved from service on a committee, the Senate would, as a matter of course, grant his request, but it was not usual to allow such request before the committees were agreed upon, as a whole, by the Senate. He would vote to excuse the Senator from Massachusetts, but he hoped that that Senator would defer his motion until the vote on the pending question was taken.

Mr. Sumner replied that in proposing to amend the proposition he was exercising a very .ordinary and reasonable right. He declined .to withdraw, but proceeded to advocate it as not only in order but eminently proper. He held out that the Senate should know before acting upon the report, if a Senator was not disposed to accept the place assigned him. He would say to the Senator from Ohio (Sherman) that after twenty years service in the chamber he (Sumner) had the right to expect that his associates would not impose oil him a new class duties, when he expressly stated that they were not welcome to him.

The Chair declared Mr. Summer's motion to be in order, but that in regard to the practice of the Senate, the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) was correct in his statement.

Mr. Sumner replied that as to the practice there had been no occasion, heretofore, for such motion.

Mr. Sumner's motion was then agreed to, without division. Mr. Schurz then renewed his motion to postpone, and—

Mr. Wilson urged its adption, as affording an opportunity to remove auy errors that may have occurred iu formitiir the committees.

A

vote by division on Schurz's motion resulted in twenty-one Senators rising in the affirmative, and twenty-nine iu the negative. Not agreed to.

The question recurring on the adoption of the resolution, Mr. Schurz explained the reasons for which he moved the postponement, He said it was well known to the country that there were certain disagreements with regard to the apportionment of these committees not submitted to the Senate, and his motion was made with the intention of trying a last chance to reconcile these disagreements, and to prevent any possible excitement that might grow out of it. That last chance had been denied, and the resolution of Mr. Howe was now before the Senate for debate. It would be noticed that in that resolution a change of some importance had been made in the important Committee on Foreign Affairs. The late Chairman, the Senator from Massachusetts (Sumner) was his personal friend, and while bound to him by intimate personal relations, he (Schurz) could say at the same time that were those personal relations otherwise than friendly, his judgment on the question would not in the least be altered. He thought he spoke the unanimous sentiment of the Senate, and he would go further and say that he spoke the unanimous sentiment of the country, when he asserted the duties devolving on Lhe Chairman, of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations had been fulfilled by the Senator from Massachusetts with great credit to himself and the committee, and with general satisfaction to the country. That gentleman was looked upon in the Senate as a member of the Senate, who, by study and training, was most emiueutly fitted to fill just that position above all others. The resolution substituted in the place of that Senator a Senator from Pennsyl­

vania,

u.

Mr. Wilson objected. The Chair (Mr. Anthony) ruled that as the motion related to the organization of the Senate, it was a question of privilege

not now in his seat, whose pro­

found studies of international law and general experience especially in Diplomatic service fitted him for the place and with whom at their head the committee would, in the highest degree, enjoy the confidence of the country but he (Schurz) was free to say that that gentleman was not so vastly superior to the Senator from Massachusetts that his appointment would for a moment be entertained on that account.

It was evident there was something else. Wnen a movement was made to degrade an eminent member of the teenate it was but just to that gentleman, to the Senate and to the whole country that the real reasons for which such a change as proposed should be laid bare to the public gaze. He would therefore ask the Senator who had introduced the resolution (Howe) what were the reasons why such a chauge was made.

Mr. Howe arose to reply. Mr. Stewart (aside). I would not answer him.

Several Senators. .No, don't. Mr. Howe said, on one hand he was asked a question, and on the other appealed to not to auswer it, and in deference to that rule of courtesy which he sought to make the rule of his life, he would make a civil answer to a civil question. He would briefly state the reasons, so far as he knew them, and lie certainly knew them as well as any Senator. No question had been raised as to the ability of the Senator from Massachusetts, and no pre tension had been made that he was surpassed in any respect by the gent proposed to succeed him, but it was

!§^^0$Sgf^^gls000§^0iMI

T^l*c

known to those who proposed the chauge that the personal relations existing between the gentleman from Massachusetts and the President of the United States and the head of the State Department were such as to preclude all social intercourse between them. In brief the information was that the Senator from Massachusetts refused to hold personal intercourse with the Secretary of State.

Mr. Sumner. Quite the contrary. Mr. Howe (continuing without noticing the remark). And that the Senator lias, not held any intercourse with the President of the 'United States. In view of these facts, it was deemed best that the Committee on Foreign Relations should have ahead who would be on the best speaking terms with the Secretary of State and the President,

Mr. Schurz replied that he was very creditably informed and that from the best authority, that the Senator from Massachusetts had not refused to enter into any official relations, with either the President or Secretary of State.

Mr. Howe. I beg my friend not to change the issue. I did not speak of their official relations. I spoke of their personal relations.

Mr. Wilson. Then, Mr. President, it comes to this. That the oldest member of the Senate, the Chairman ot the Committee on Foreign Relations through the last ten years, is to be removed from the chairmanship and from the committee

itself,

because of the social relations between the President of the United States, the Secretary of State and himself. He (Wilson) was one of those who believed it not the business of the Senate what those relations were, or what were the social relations of auy Senator, the Pres­

ident,

or any other member of the Government. He thought the only question was as to whether the member held proper official relations with the President, Cabinet and other members of the Government. He agreed with the Senator from Missouri (Schurz) that this matter should not have been precipitated upon the Senate but it had been determined otherwise, and it must, at all cost, be now concluded. He could not see a blow struck at a frieud of twenty-five years, with whom he had co-operated in minorities and majorities, without entering a protest against it. But his opposition in the present case was not solely for personal reason but it was because he believed the interests of the country would not be promoted by taking the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations from a place he had filled with such signal ability. In the present condition of our foreign affairs we needed to retain all the learning and experience we now had there. He was opposed to the change now, because it was full of danger to the Republican party. There were hundreds and thousands of pure, thoughtful and trusted members of that party whose hearts would be wrung by the intelligence of this action and who would see neither justice nor wisdom in it. The party was in no con-

believed that those who were persisting

in having the matter considered to-day

were committing a mistake, and upon

them would be the responsibility. For one, he washed his hands of it, and now moved that the further consideration of the subject be postponed until to-morrow.

Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, said he was one of those who regarded the change as unwise, but he thought ail the usual

means

sup

of opposition had now been ex­

hausted, be deemed it quite unwise to make further opposition. He therefore hoped the Senate would go on and complete its reorganization, as recommended by the majority.

Mr. Schurz was sorry to hear the Senator from Vermont express the opinion that all opposing means were exhausted, and that nothing was left but to quietly submit to what a great many considered not only a wrong, but a blunder. He (Schurz) did not give up so easily. Supposing it be true, as asserted by the Senator from Wisconsin (Howe), that the personal—not the official—relations between the President and Secretary of State on one side, and the Senator from Massachusetts on the other, were very unkind, was that fact of any consequence? Was the American Senate to be governed by the personal relations between a Senator and Minister of the Executive Department of Government? Must the Senate, before appointing the Chairman of a committee ask a President or a Secretary of State how he likes so and so whether he likes to dine or

with that man? Must there be an express understanding between them about cooking, or any other detail of social relation

Mr. Schurz then denounced as untrue the assertion that Mr. Sumner had refused to entertain relations of any kind with the President or Secretary of State. He asserted that, on the contrary, that jrentieman had, on a noted occasion, most emphatically declared that, in spite of all that had passed between them, he was at any moment ready to receive Secretary of Stale Fish as an old friend, and to transact with him such official business as had to be transacted between them. The Senator from New Hampshire, (Mr. Patterson) not now in his seat, would bear witness to the truth of this. Commenting upon a dispatch issued from the State Department at the instance of the President, relative to Minister Motley, in which sundry allusions were ma'e to the President's abhorrence of the betrayal of confidence, Mr. Schurz remarked these were a direct reference to Mr. Sumner, on account of his course of the San Domingo scheme. Could the Senators require auy member of that body, who had the least sense of his dignity, to bend his knee and cruize and fawn before those who had thus spat upon him The reasons assigned for such a degradation were but a flimsy pretext. During the administration of Andrew Johnson the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations was not on speaking terms with the President of the United States, and yet the grave question of the presence of the French army in Mexico was solved, and various treaties passed by the Senate were first considered and approved by that committee.

Attributing the present difficulty to the determination of the President to prosecute the San Domingo scheme, and urgiug the Senate not to yield to the Executive dictation, he went on to say there were rumors abroad, and there wa^ already t/oo much ground to believe them, that in the change proposed the President had taken a propelling power which was rather stronger than had heretofore been

deemed

compatible with the dignity

of that office. It was perhaps now time for the Republican party to consider whether the were ready to sacrifice their cause to the whims of one man.

Mr. Edmunds entirely concurred in the last sentence of the remarks of the Senator from Missouri. He, too, desired to inquire whether»the President of the United States and the Republican party were ready to sacrifice theirsense of duty

to the

whims of one man, whether he came from New England, Missouri, or anywhere else. The Senator (Schurz) had argued altogether on a mistaken basis, that Mr. Sumner was being removed for some cause or other, whereas he had simply been transferred from one sphere of usefulness .to anoth­

er, in the ordinary rearrangement of the committees, which, under the rules took place every two years. These changes of chairmen and committeemen had often given dissatisfaction. No Senator supposed himself en titled to his former position as a matter of right. The Senate had been actuated by a desire to select such chairman as would best facilitate public business, and had not been influenced by the President or any other outside influence.

Mr. Corbett said he had favored the retention of Mr. Sumner, but he bowed to the will of the Republican majority, as indicated by the decision of the caucus.

Mr. Scott defended the action of the caucus from the charge implied in the remarks of Mr. Schurz, that it had been influenced by executive dictation, and denied that the appointment of his absent colleague (Cameron) had been made by improper means. "Mr. Schurz disclaimed having insinuated anything further than that there were rumors that the Executive had brought to bear certain influence to bring about this change. He had intended no reflection upon the character of the gentleman who is now proposed as chairman of the committee.
