SENATE

ESTK Rl)A AFTKRNOO NSESSIO X. Washington, Feb. 2. Allison, from the committee of Indian affairs, Reported back to the senate a bill to provide foa the payment of the claims for Indian depredations, and asked that it be referred to the committee on appropriation. So ordered.

The chair laid before the senate the unfinished buis^ess, being a house resolution directing the commissioners of the District of Columbia to pay the interest on bonds issued in pursuance of the act of congress approved June 20,1874, out of any funds in the United States treasury subject to requisition of said commisioners, The pending question being an amendment of Iveran submitted yesterday, providing that any further issue of 3.6G bonds under or by virtue of said act of congress approved .Tune 20,1874, is hereby prohibited.

Sargent defended the board of the public works. He referred to the statement of Bayard yesterday to the effect that he had been informed that the fees of the council forShcpard aud others had 'been paid in 3.65 bonds, and said that he was sorry the speech of that senator was not in record that he might read his exact language.

Mr. Bayard said he had the manuscript before him unchanged and it was at the disposal of the Senator.

Sargent said that tfcepharge of. the Senator these fees were paid in 3:(S5 was reckless. By a little examination the Senator conld have seen that the board or audit had all to do with issuing these bonds and not the old city Government

Morton said that he had the authority of one of the district commissioners for .the statement that the commissioners never passed upon or .entertained any claim for the payment of counsel fees for Shepherd for any expenses of 'any investigation, jand further that they never author ized the payment of any money to any newspaper for publicatiou testia money taken by that committee.

Bayard read from his remarks of yesterday to the effect that he had been informed that such payments as counsel fees in 3,65 bonds bad been made, and said he did not say it was so, but asked of other senataors if it was. He now asked if the senators denied that these fees had been paid out of the national treasury.

Morton replied they had not. Sarget, resuming,' said: The men composing the board of public works had made Washington a beautiful and healthful city, and there was notning to show that they put a dollar in their pockets. The senator from Deleware had spoken of a gigar crme cemmitted by the board of public works against Columbus Alexander. 'There were several opinious about the matter, and he (Sargent) thought there might be cause, in the sober judgement of other people, for the belief that there was some foundation for such a charge against him. Ho (Sargent) could show from the •evidence before. the committee, that Alexander had to pay the express charges on the stolen books. Suppose Harrington, as it hail been alleged, iid set up all this plot' the object of it was to disgrace Alexander and show that he was privy to this crime of stealing the books. He (Sargent) did not know Alexander, and had not the slightest bisbosition to do him injustice, but when he was lugged here as the Savior of the world, to be crucified between thieves, lie (Sargent) thought it worth while to flu ii out who was the thief and who was the Savior.

The subject was further debated by Mr. Morton and Edmunds. Mr. Sherman then opposed the a roendment submitted by the senator from New York (Kernao,) and rgued and would exclude the certificates which could be converted iuto 3 65 bonds under the existing law.

Allison defended action of the joint commission, of which he was chairman,

and in

the

which he made a in

vestigation. He said the senator from Calafornia (Sargent) had raked up all •load bones of the defunct goverumedt manifestly for the purpose of putting somebody, either Democrat or Republican, on thedefeusxve as to

couotecy or propriety or such a course, he nothing to say, but stood by the report of the committee. jReferring to a letter read by Sargent, toe Raid it might be the case, that he b"d written letters, garbled extracts of wh oh was read by the senator from Calafornia. He (Allison) did DO make any charge against the district commissioners he had every dence iu them, but believed they had misconstrued thetfaw. Notwithstanding their higher character they were public servants, and he had the rigtu as a senator, to speak of their course.

He then referred to the comprehensive plan of improvements adopted by the board of public works' and said ohe of the greatest causes of complaint before the committee was that a real estate ring had been formed, which bought up all the real .estate in the northwest part of capi•tol bill, and other portions of the ciiv. The board of public works had incurred a deb.t of $18,000,000 when the act of congress which created them, provided that the debt should not exceed $10,000,000. He did not think that the committee should be arraigned for recommending the ahoi it ion of the goverment. Tbe debt wof the district of Columbia amounted

to one quarter of the cash value of all the real estate were. Mr. Logan said he did not utuler« stand how the board of

Wl?

could create a debt of $18,000,000 when the law distictJy said the debt of the district should not exceed 510,000,000.

Mr. Morton said the effect of the amendment of the Senator from ,£^ew York would be to pay the certificates now issned in money instead of 3 G5 bonds If the ponds could not be issued for them they must be paid in money, under the present law.

Edmonds gave notice that the proper time he would submit an a-

Mr. O'JBrien offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to inquire into the expediency of requesting the President to negotiate a commercial treaty betweeu the United States and the Republic of France, placing the citizens of the United States, on as fa vorable a footing as the citizens other and more favored uations, in respect to duties and charges imposed oa imports with the Republic of France. Adopted.

The House then took up the bill reported yesterday from the Committee on Public Lands, providing for the sale of the Kansas Indian lands in Kansas to the actual settlers. It authorizes the payment, by the settlers and purchasers, under the appraisement already made of the appraised value of their farms, iu three equal annual instalments. It also provides for a new appraisement- After Bomo discussion the bill passed.

Mr. McCrary, from the judiciary committee, reported a special till to recognize the judiciary of the Uuited States, made by special order for Wednesday, Feb. 16. The bill provides for the circuit court in each judicial district, and establishes a court of appeals which is to have appellate jurisdiction of the cases' arising in the courts within each district. The terms of the courts of appeal are to be held in Boston, Albany, Pbiladel phia, Richmond, New Orleans, Louisville, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco. The decisions of these courts of appeal are to be final and conclusive, but a review upon them may be had upon a writ of error, or appeal to the United States supreme court where the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $10,000, or where the judication involves a constitutional question or any treaty or law of the U. 8., or where the court certifies that it involves a legal question sufficient to require the final jurisdiction by the supreme court.

Mr. Iiuott, tbo oauoo ootM" mittee, reported a bill regulating practice in the United States Ciro cuit Court and District Courts as to the time and manner of instructing uries aud arguing causes, requiring them to conform to the practice of the States in which they are held. The bill was discussed until the close of the morning hour, when it went, over without action.

The House then resumed the consideration of the proposed constitutional amendment limiting the Presidential term.

Mr. Wood worth opposed the amendment and declared that although he had voted for the resolution offered by one of the War wicks on the other side against a third term, he would prefer a thousand times to see President Grant re-elect-ed, rather than see the office filled by one of those who twelve ye^rs ago were in arms against the Government.

Mr. Young remarked, as a southern representative aud as one who had borne arms against the government, that there was no danger of any such person putting himself for** ward as a Presidential candidate.

Mr. Knott, chairman of the judiciarv committee, closed the debate with a speech favoring the proposed amendment.

Mr, Reagan offered the amendment as follows: No person who has Ueld, or may hereafter hold the office of President, shall ever hereafter be eligible to said office and that term of office, of the President and Vice-President of tbe U. S., shall be six years.

IPiifcont Oas—Members

or Police and Fire DepartiiKutM Di-missed. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.

SpriDgfi9ld, 111., Feb. 2-—This city is in a muddle over the question of tbe collection of taxes. The city levied an amount largely in excess of the Constitutional limit, and tbe collection is being resisted by many leading taxpayers. Consequently no money is being paid into tbe Treasury to meet the current expenses. Nearly all the employes of tbe city have two or three month's pay due them. Thi3 morning the Mayor discharged the whole. police force and iigjphe men employed in the Fire Department. The street lamps will not be lighted, and in a short time the public schools will be closed. These offerts at economy look a good deal like spite work on tbe part of the city authorities, fcnd it hoped that such a deplrable state of af fairs will not last long.

The weather is quite cold to-day,aod very blustery. Suow lell heavily all morning.

terms specified for the violation of the revenue laws, the prisoners were delivered to the custody of VVarden Howard by Mr. J. S. Bigelow Deputy United States Marshall, of Indiana. A Courier-Journal reporter succeeded in having an interview at the prison. On entering the room the first man noticed by the reporter was Albert McGriff. He was sitting on a smokiug lounge with his face buried in his hands. The picture of grief and despair, The .reporter touched him lightly on the shoulder, when he started and raised his head. His face looked careworn and haggard, hi3 eyes were suffused with tears. He'is an old man, and sixty winters have whitend his hair he has a open, frank, aud honest coun. tenance, and would be taken for a gentleman. Mr. McGruffI am sorry to see you here, I believed that you were more sinned againtt than sinning, and hoped you would pull through. It was no use, my counsel did everything they could for me After a pause he continued. My God, to think that I would ever come to a place like this. It will kill me. My heart is crushed. Now he spoke in a voice deep with emotion and was greatly agitated. If it was not for ray poor wife and son I could stand it, but to think of the disgrace bronght upon them is more than I can bear. It will kill my wife, she is sick now, aud this will kill her, but there is one consolation, she knows I am innocent of the charge. J. Bingham lied on me, cruelly and maliciously. He never paid me a dollar in his life, and he knows it well. Byron Bingham, his brother told me at the Grand Hotel in Indianapolis in the presence of the United States Marsha'l that he knew nothing against me, and that he did not believe I was in the ring. I spoke of this afterwords, when John Bingham found it out, and that is why he swore that his brother Byron knew nothing about tho money. John Bingham sw.ore that he paiI~me7 Winfe-! was at home sick they raised the stamps and did the dumping on me, and I swear to you that I am an innocent man. The above was given to the reporter in a broken voice. He said that his wife was Iffty-eight years old, aud had been married thirty years. He was warm in the praise of his son who has stood nobly by him during his long trial. McGriff was well known and highly respited at Evansville, being for 7 yearPthe city clerk, and a leading member in the Presbyterian church. His trial and conviction liave told heavily on him, and those who knew him well, say that he looked 10 years older than he did two months ago. He is a man of a high nervous ternperment, aud it was with the utmost difficulty that he could keep up. It is the general opinion among his friends ihat he will not long survive his imprisonment.

JAMES It, HILL

displayed more true grit yesterday than the other. prisoners be seemed cheerful and said that he had made up his mind to stand it and that he could stand it as much as any other man. Hill is a pleasant man with heavy, black, glossy whiskers. When playfully told that it would be hard on him to lose his fine whiskers, he said, they won't but off my whiskers, will they? and exhibited some emotion. When told that they would be cut off be said that he was sorry as there had always been an ugly sear on bis right cheek which they covered. Hill has an extensive acquaintance in Indiana and is well known in this city,* he was Deputy Revenue Collector at Evansville, he asserted his innocence yesterday, and before he was sentences at Indianapolis. Through his counsel, W T. Fishback, presented the following note to Judge Gresham: "With due defference to your Honor aud the Jury that fonnd me guilty, I say now, in the presence of God and the world, that I am not guilty. During my connection with the revenue department. I have worked faithfully in the interest of the

Government. I ask for the sake of my family that your Honor will be as merciful as they will permit.

J. H. Hill—The court held that Hill's offense was of a deepor dye than that of the other revenue officer^ since bis position was a higher one and the trust betrayed a greater one. Hill claims that he worked honestly and faithfully for the Government. He is forty-three years eld, and his a wife and eight children. Philip C. Eboslne was pad|and silent, having nothing to say to any one, but gazing earnestly upon those in the room. He is 35 years old, has blue eyes, dark hair slightly tinged with gray. in a note to Judge Greason before the sentence was pronounced be sam I withheld nothing from the United States Attorneys when called on but gave them the evidence. I am unfortunately a pensioner upon the Government. I bear three severe and horrible wounds as a reward for three years good' service, as a private soldier and maimed for life, and unable to work, was my helpless condition and poverty coupled with a desire to save my •little house from being sold from us, that aroused me to take tho oily words of the seducer. Miller is 8 years old, he says that his punishment is out of all proportion to his offense, he said that he never would have been in the ring, if all the officers had been in it, and if he had kept out he wouid never have liad to give up his position, and sohe

He was in the army four years, and was badly wounded he says the distillers get &im iu it by saying that they would be forced to shut down or make crooked, aud ho wa3 trying to provide a home for his family and did not want to lose his position. Phillips is about 50 years of age has black hair and eyes and has a' wife and children in straight ened circumstances he takes his sentence hard. Geo. Johnson Avas cold and self posessed. He thought that a little more mercy should have been shown, but he was going to make the best of it. He was in the army, but broke down on account of ill health. He is fortythree years old and has a wife and three children.

After ths prisoners bad shaken hands with their friendes, and bade them pood-bye, they were inarched out of the office, into the reception room by Deputy Warden Craig. They were then relieved of sueh articles as they had on, and told that jt was contrary to the rules for tuemt to'keep. Tne warden, however held no conversation with these, prisoners, jand will treat tliem just as the rfgulation3 requires.

Tho Indians whose property was thus gobbled, were represented to be dead, bui it now turns out they are still alive, aud have been residing all the time in the Indian territory. The extent of the rascality haa not yet been determined, but it will probably reach $10,000.
