FRIDAY, JUNE 14. 1878.
TAPPINti THE WIRES.
The House by a Tote of two to one has
refused to take up the South Carolina con
tested case of Richardson vs. Rainey.
On Saturday General MaeKenzie and
Colonel Shsfter, with a strong force, crossed
into Mexico in pursuit of raiders. They
w ere obliged to return and telegraph for
reinforcements, which were sent, and it is
believed the whole body has recrossed the
Rio Grande.
Additional troops have been sent to the
scene of the late riots in Quebec. The riot
ers made a demonstration against the jail
for the purpose of releasing their confeder
ates there imprisoned. They did no damage
beyond breaking tLe windows. At last ac
counts all was quiet.
A severe had storm passed over New Eng
land yesterday. The ground was white with
hailstones the size of walnuts. Much
damage to the crops resulted.
General Smith, formerly appointment
clerk of the Treasury Department, was ex
amined by the Potter Committee yesterday.
His evidence was evasive and unsatisfac
tory, and several important letters which he
should have produced were missing. Mrs.
Jenks will take the stand to-day.
The striking operatives of the Burnley
district. England, show a general desire to
resume work. It is feared that the Central
Committee at Preston will be compelled to
suspend operations for want of funds. The
operatives of a number of mills have
already resumed, accepting the ten per cent,
reduction.
A dispatch from Rome states that the
Pope's health Is certainly on the decline,
and his physicians declare that his removal
from the Vatican is necessary to his recov
ery. A majority of the Cardinals, however,
resist removal.
In consequence of Count Andrassy desir
ing time for the plenipotentiaries to the
Congress to exchange views privately, it is
probable that the second sitting will be post
poned until Monday.
In consequence of the success of the lib
erals in the Belgian elections, the present
Ministry has resigned, and a new Cabinet
will be formed.
Twenty-five thousand Russians are re
ported sick in the neighborhood of Constan
tinople with typhoid fever and similar dis
eases.
Great trouble is anticipated with the
Indians in the far West, and it Is impossible
for the military to learn the true state of
affairs. A general Indian war is feared by
ofBcers who know the disposition and char
acter of the red men. General Howard has
arrived at Boiz City and decided to take
the field himself.
Lord Eeaconsfield is said to be preparing
a grand roup which will prove a great Bur-
prise. The control of reforms in Asia
Minor and the maintenance of the freedom
of Constantinople will be undertaken by
Great Britain, while European Turkey will
be left to the control of the States
whose special interests are there.
Lord Beaconsfield’s demands will involve
even more than the foregoing, and
should Austria be satisfied, and the question
of the indemnity settled, he will play a part
in a dazzling peace. As his programme
involves, however, a clear departure from
the policy of non-intervention, he will proba
bly dissolve Parliament and appeal to the
country.
The New York members of the Associated
Press yesterday met and paid a glowing
tribute to the memory of the late William
Cullen BiyaDt-
The Senate has passed the substitute for
the House biil providing for a repeal of the
specie resumption act, after amending it so
as to read that after the passage of the act
“United States notes shall be receivable as
coin in payment of the four per cent, bonds;
and on and after October 9th, 1878, said
notes shall be receivable for duties on im
ports.”
The Confederate graves at Arlington were
decorated yesterday.
Stringent measures for the repression of
the Socialists are to be taken In Berlin. A
woman and two men were yesterday sen
tenced to imprisonment for treasonable ut
terances against the Emperor.
At 2:20 p. m. yesterday the flag of Ger
many was hoisted on the palace in Ber
lin, betokening that the Congress had
opened. The street in front of the
palace is closed against ordinary traffic.
The envoys to the Congress spent the day
chiefly in paying visits of ceremony,
introductions and receptions. Richly
caparisoned horses, with outriders, etc.,
dashed about the streets carrying special
visitors to the old castle, where they were re-
cieved in audience by the Crown Prince in
the order of their arrival in Berlin. A grand
banquet in honor of the plenipotentiaries
was given at night. The first sitting lasted
an hour and a hal f.
The Senate has passed the bill restoring
to South Carolina the State Military
Academy in Charleston known as the
Citadel, provided such restoration be ac
cepted as full satisfaction for the occupa
tion of the building by the United States
since its capture.
The House In committee of the whole
have agreed to increase the appropriation
for the Atlanta custom house Irom $20,000
to $00,000.
A motion to extend the day of adjourn
ment of Congress to the 20th instant has
been defeated in the House by a large
majority.
The Cincinnati Commercial has a Wash
ington special which informs us that busi
ness in the South is in a very distressing
condition on account of the Potter in
vestigation. This, says the Nashville
American, will he news to business
men, and was, no doubt, furnished by
that numeious class who know more
about other people’s business thca their
own. Business Is dull enough, but John
Sherman, not the Potter Committee,
must lie held responsible.
Can Mr. Hayes' Title Be Tested ’
The House Judiciary Committee, in
considering the Kimmel-Blair bill to give
the United States Supreme Court power
to test the validtty of Mr. Hayes' title,
have all, with the exception of Air. Proc
tor Knott, Chairman, decided to bring in
an adverse report. In this they heartily
endorse the Potter investigation, but de
clare that the present Congress can
not confer powers upon the United
States Supreme or any other court to
reopen questions which have been set
tled by the high commission created by
the Forty-fourth Congress.
We must confess that we cannot see
how this conclusion was reached. In
section 6 of the bill providing for the
said “High Commission,” the following
language is distinctly used:
“Section 0. That nothing in this act
shall be held to impair or affect any right
now existing under the Constitution and
laws to question, by proceeding in the
judicial courts of the United States, the
right or title of the person who shall be
declared elected or who shall claim to be
President or Vice President of the United
States, if any such right exists."
Now. if this language means any
thing, it certainly means that if. in the
future, it shall be ascertained that some
one else than the one who shall be de
clared President of the United States
shall claim to have been elected to that
position, and can make out a fair case,
he shall have the right to be heard be
fore the judicial tribunals of the United
States. In other words, it was expressly
provided by the Forty-fourth Con
gress that the door should be left
open to the courts to test the title of the
one so declared elected by the said
high commission, and therefore to a
future Congress was given power to
provide by proper acts for the aforesaid
judicial investigation. 1'et the Judiciary
Committee of the present House declare
that they have no right, even though the
high commission's President's title
should he positively proven clouded by
fraud, forgery and perjury, to confer a
right upon the courts of the United
States to examine into that title. We
cannot understand, with the aforesaid
sixth section of the electoral commission
bill before our eyes, upon what technical
ground even (leaving out all questions of
equity, right and justice,) the committee
based their conclusions.
We are free to admit that it is im
politic ' to disturb Mr. -Haves' title
at this time. He has made so far
a very fair President. Compared with
his predecessor, he has shown very
marked respect for the United States
Constitution, and as the Democracy has
generally decided that it would be mis
chievous and productive of evil to at
tempt to remove him from office, it may
be well to accept the situation. Indeed,
it having been already proven that the
grossest frauds, based on forgery and
perjury, seated Air. Hayes, it may
be a sufficient punishment for him
to have to leave to his posterity
the reputation which history will
certainly accord him. Still, as a matter
or' principle, the courts most certainly
have the right tu test his title upon a
proper case brought before them, and
the Judiciary Committee should have so
declared.
The committee, however, strongly en
dorse the investigation into the frauds
with the view that those guilty thereof
shall be punished. This is a great point
gained. No one who has read the testi
mony so far elicited can doubt the com
plicity of Sherman, Stanley Alat-
thews, Noyes and other “visit
ing statesmen” in the Radical
conspiracy' to treasonably violate the
Constitution and usurp the Presidential
chair. ‘ If we can see such arch traitors
as these convicted and punished as se
verely as the enormity of their crimes
demand, we cgn very well, under the
circumstances, tie content to endure
Hayes, especially since his offence carries
with it its own retribution.
Fraud
The Washington Republican says the
Southern people have set up another in
stitution in place of slavery, which is
the institution of illicit distilleries. That,
says the Nashville American, is an insti
tution, however, in which the Republi
can s party friends at St. Louis, Cincin
nati and Chicago seem to have enjoyed a
monopoly. The crooked whisky busi
ness is not sectional.
The adoption by the Senate, Alonday,
and by the House last Saturday, of the
report of the committee of conference on
the Washington monument bill secures
the prompt completion of that structure
in accordance with the modified design
prepared by Mr. Larkin R. Alead aDd
adopted by the Alonumcnt Society last
year.
“Whether our deliberations,” said
Beast Butler on Saturday to his col
leagues of the Potter Committee, “shall
result in the impeachment of anybody or
not, depends upon the testimony which
we can get. ” These are suggestive words
in Butler's mouth. The New York Sun
thinks they will not allay the alarm in
the camp of fraud.
Representative Schleicher gays that
the Congressional Committee on Public
Buildings will make a favorable report
on his bill appropriating forty million
dollars, to be raised on four per cent,
bonds, for completing the public build
ings of the country.
A Republican View of the
Investigation.
The Utica (N. Y.) Republican, the per
sonal organ of Senator Conkling, voices
the sentiment of the majority of the
Bemtblican ^Tarty in that State, as fol
lows:
“Really, we suppose, the Democrats
do not want Hayes removed. They
simply want to degrade him in the public
estimation and throw so much evidence
of fraud about Ids title that everybody
will believe him to be just what he
practically declared himself to be when
he acknowledged the validity of the
Democratic governments of Louisiana
and South Carolina—a creature of fraud,
holding his position in defiance of the
popular will. This is what the Potter
Committee has set out to show, and
what it will not fail to find witnesses to
swear to—indeed what has already been
sworn to by witnesses as good as are
likely to he obtained in a transaction of
the kiod, for truthful and honorable men
would not engage in frauds on the ballot
box. It remains simply foy the public
mind to determine the question as to
whether these rascals lied at first or lie
now. The chances are about even; while
the partisan vote of the commission and
the subsequent conduct of Hayes in re
cognising Nicholis and Hampton are
calculated to confirm the impres
sion tbaf their Jatter utterances
are true. This }s the dilemma
in which Hayes has placed himself. IJis
truckling to the South is likely to prove
fatal to him morally and politically; and
even if not turned out of his office or
forced to retire before the expiration of
its term, he will leave it in deeper dis
grace than Tyler or Johnson. Nobody,
now, save the Ku-Kiuz nod bis brigade
of dependents wants him where h-6 ! a -
His own folly has mode the Potter inves
tigation possible, and given it fill the mo
ral force that it possesses. If It ends in
driving him out he will deserve his fate,
and 'a few hacks will carry all the
mourners. ’" .
“This,” remarks the Albany 4rgus, a
leading Democratic organ of the North,
“is shameful and lamentable. But who
but Hayes himself is to blame? And if
it is shown to the satisfaction of the pub
lic miud that he got hi* place in the
White House through fraud, who is going
tu resist his removal in a regular and de-
c- at way? His office and bis country
are disgraced, the land is full cf the cry
of corruption and fraud linked with his
name, and we are on the eve o' a revo
lution. The question now is: Shall it
be peaceful or violent?
“Before we resort to civil war, we had
better stop and ask ourselves what there
is to fight for? Is it to regain what
Hayes has thrown away? It certainly
cannot be to sustain him.”
Senator Hill and the Electoral Fraud.
Having published in our issue of yes
terday what a Washington correspondent
of the New York Time* reports as the
substance of a conversation with Hon.
B. H. Hill in regard to what transpired
during the session of the electoral com
mission, in which Mr. Hill is
represented as claiming the chief credit
for defeating the filibustering movement
by which Northern and Western Demo
crats proposed to prevent the consum
mation of the electoral fraud, it is but
just to that gentleman that we should
publish his contradiction of the Time*
correspondent's statement. A Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Herald
says:
Senator Hill was misrepresented in a
New York journal to-day as having said
that he got the written signatures of for
ty-two Southern members tc a pledge
that they would resist filibustering and
see to ft that the electoral count was
completed. Air. Hill wishes it known
that he said nothing of this kind, and
that there was no written pledge at all.
The plain fact, well known at the time,
and reported in full in the Herald of the
18th of February, 1877, is that a joint
caucus of the Democrats was held on the
evening of the 17th to consult about the
policy of the party in regard to the electo
ral count. The Florida case had been de
cided against Air. Tilden, the Louisiana
ease was to come up in the House on
Monday the 19th, and some of the Demo
crats were urging that the House, by
filibustering delays, would prevent the
count going on, hence the caucus, at
which Mr. Reagan, of Texas, offered the
following resolution:
Resulted, That the count of the elec
toral vote shall proceed without dilatory
opposition to the orderly execution of
the act of Congress creating the Electoral
Commission, whose decisions shall be
received and acted upon in accordance
with the provisions of the said law.
Senators Bayard and Keman and
Messrs. Hill, Singleton. John Young
Brown and others spoke in favor
of this resolution, and it was said
at the time that Air. Hill made
one of the most forcible and elo
quent speeches of his life on that oc
casion. Representatives Hurd, Walling
and Southard, of Ohio, and Lynde and
Thompson opposed, but the resolution
was adopted almost unanimously in the
end, and it is a fact that the Southern
men, forty-two in number, were among
those who supported Air. Reagan's reso
lution. The action of the caucus settled
the question of filibustering, as was un
derstood at the time, but Mr. Hill says
truly when he denies that there was any
written pledge by anybody.

Beast Butler on a Free Hunt
A suspicion is gaining ground at Wash
ington that Beast Butler is deteiminedto
get at the bottom facts, even if he should
unearth some things not exactly consist
ent with the “ irrefragibility ” of Air.
Hayes’ title. The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun says:
"The action of General Butler to-day,
and for several days past, in the Potter
Committee indicates very decidedly that,
if permitted to do so, he will very soon
shape the conduct of the investigation.
As yet no one can tell positively what
General Butler is driving at, although
the surmises as to his purposes are nu
merous enough. The opinion of the most
sagacious of the Democratic leaders is,
however, that he is not to be trusted, and
that it wiil be best to keep him in a sub
ordinate position as regards the manage
ment of the investigation. A Democratic
Senator of great experience in speaking
on the subject to day said that if General
Buth r was allowed too much control he
would lead the Democrats, before they
knew it, into a hog from which they
would not be able to extricate them
selves. It was very likely that General
Butler hated Hayes and those associated
with him, but he did not for this reason
love the Democrats any more. As the
majority of the committee have been put
on their guard, ttyey will be likely to
keep a sharp eye ou old Ben, and not
permit him to assume the leadership."
A Car Full oi Militiamen A narked
and a Passenger Robbed.
Xete York World, 11 (A.
About ten o'clock last night a pedler's
wagon, in which were a number of men.
drove up to ear No. 123 of the Third
avenue lice at Ninety-fourth street. New
York. Four men jumped from the
wagon, drew revolvers and then knocked
senseless Mr. Joseph W Lafetra, Receiv
er of the Third avenue line, who was
going to the Sixty-fifth street depot with
the receipts at Harlem of the Third ave
nue and cross town cars, and, after rob
bing him of one hundred and fifty dol
lars. escaped. Air. Lafetra had beep,
in the employ of the company since
the opening of the road, in 1833. As
he was Receiver at Harlem he observed
the custom of depositing the amount
collected during the day at the central
office. The money he had placed in a
leather satchel which he had placed across
his knees. About One Hundredth street
Charles Orr, the conductor, noticed the
pedler's wagon following the car, but
paid no attention to it. He was suddenly
confronted by the four men that jumped
from the wagon. Tiiey entered the car,
which was occupied by several members
of the Eleventh Regiment and a number
of women. lhe highwaymen went
straight to Mr. Lafetra and endeavored
to snatch the satchel from him. He tried
to resist, and to go to the forward end
of the car, but several blows from the
butts of revolvers knocked him senseless.
This took place in a few seconds, and
Air. Lafetra’s fellow passengers crowded
up to the forward end of the car, not
even the militiamen offering to interfere.
As soon as the robbers obtained pos
session of the satchel they left the car
by the rear door—the driver had not
noticed any disturbance in the car—and
shouted ail right to the man in the
wagon, who stopped, took up his con
federates and drove across Ninety-second
street towards Second avenue. The con
ductor then saw that Air. Lafetra was
bleeding and insensible, and he was
carried into a drug store, where he was
attended by Dr. J. R. Alacgregor, of No.
153 East Eighty-third street, who was
unable to decide whether a blow on the
back of the head had fractured Air. Lafe
tra's skull. Other injuries on the face
and side of the head were found to be
severe, hut not serious. Air. Lafetra re
covered consciousness, but was very
weak. He was carried home to No. 13<i
East One Hundred and Twenty-fourth
street. The conductor, Orr, received
slight contusions and had his coat torn.

Important Decision,—The Court of
Claims on Tuesday rendered an impor
tant decision in the case of the Union
Pacific Railroad against the government.
The court decided that the government
is entil'ed to recover five per centum of
the road’s net earnings from the 6th of
November, 1SG9, to the oth of Novem
ber, 1874, inclusive, amounting to the
sum of $1,367,716 73, and that the com
pany is entitjed to recover $593,627 10 as
one half of lhe compensation due from
the government for services rendered, and
that the difference between these sums,
to-wit, $774,089 63, judgment, is ren
dered in favor of the government and
against the claimants.
Tjie Perils of New York.—The
street cars in New York should be armed
with swivels, and each car should have
at least a Corporal’s guard of regular
troops. It seems that there Is no reliance
to be placed in the New Y’ork militia.
The Atlanta Constitution says: “As a
defender of fraud the Republican party
is one of the most conspicuous suc
cesses of the period.” That only proves
that it is skilled in the art of self-defense.
The Republican party send a lot of
carpet-baggers into Flqridaand Louisiat a
to contest the election returns, and when
they peach on the party they style it “a
new Southern rebellion.”
The rinderpest is rapidly carrying off
the comparatively few head of cattle in
Turkey which have escaped the ravages
of war. A few weeks ago the disease
was confined to the European provinces
of the empire; but lately it has shown
itself and is rapidly spreading through
Asiatic Turkey. Thousands of cattle are
dying every week in the vilayets of
Smyrna and Iludavendighiar; and unless
the government promptly adopt and put
in force measures to prevent the further
spread of the contagion, one of the richest
sources of the wealth of Turkey will be
destroyed. Already meat is becoming
scarce in the capital.
A change of time, by which twelve
hours are saved between Washington
and New Orleans, has gone into effect on
the Virginia Midland route and its south

Assessing Department Employes.
The departments in Washington on
Alonday were flooded ivjth a circular
letter from the Republican Congressional
Committee levying an assessment on all
of the officials for campaign purposes.
It is called a voluntary subscription, but
that was the term used under the Grant
administration. As these are personally-
addressed through the mail every clerk
fears the result of any failure to con
tribute. The amount solicited is one per
cent., and the demand was made oq all
the officials, from the scrub women, who
get $20 a month, to the Secretary, who
gets $8,000 a year. As a specimen of
civil service reform it fully equals that
of the ljite administration. The follow
ing is the letter,

Committee 1878,1,319 F St. N.W ,

Eugene Hale, Chairman.
George C. Gorham, Secretary.
Bra—This committee, charged with
laboring fur the success of t)ie Republi
can cause in the coming campaign for
the election of members of Congress,
call with confidence upon you as a
Republican for such contribution in
money as ypu may feel willing to make,
hoping that it may not be less than $ .
The committee deem it proper in thus
appealing to Republicans generally to
inform those who happen to be in
Federal employ that there will be no
objection in any jiffieial quarter to such
voluntary contribution. The importance
of the pending struggle cannot easily
be exaggerated. That the Senate
is to lie Democratic after the
4th of Alarch, 1879, is very nearly
a certainty. In view of this
the election of a Democratic House
of Representatives would precipitate
upon the country dangerous agitations
which would inevitably add to present
distresses. Foremost among their
Bchemes the opposition already announce
their intenth n to attempt the revolution
ary expulsion of the President from his
office. If by the presentation of three
candidates for the Presidency in 1880
the people should fail to choose. Uie
House must elect, each State delegation
easting one vote. Prom what is now
known, and with tl>e growing dissen-
tions in the camp of the enemy, the com
mittee have good reason to enter upon
their work with courage. Please make a
prompt and favorable response to this

Twenty-six Years in California.
Southern Christian Advocate.
We are kindly permitted by Rev. W.
A. Simmons, of the North Georgia Con
ference. to publish the following inter
esting letter recently received from his
brother, Rev. J. C. Simmons, of the Pa
cific Conference. It will he read with
great interest by the writer's numerous
friends in Georgia, who will also be grati
fied to know that after so long an absence
he will revisit his native State in Alay, as
a delegate to the Genera! Conference.
But here is the letter:
Santa Rosa, California, February
26, 1878.—Dear Brother: Twenty-six
years ago, to-night, the prow of our no
ble steamer turned into the Golden Gate,
and the lights of San Francisco flashed
upon our eager sight. Then San Fran
cisco was a small city, with, perhaps,
from twenty to fifty thousand inhabi
tants. Now it numbers three hundred
and five thousand five hundred and
twelve. Then there were immense sand
hills encircling the city on the west and
south: now these sand hills have all been
taken away, and grand and beautiful
houses stretched along well paved streets.
That night we tramped over those hills
miles of climbing; now we can ride over
the same ground in beautiful street cars
for five cents per ride.
Then a few inferior churches stood
here and there; now the whole mighty
city gleams with graceful spires, and on
the Sabbath morning the air trembles
with the mellow music of her church
bells.
Then our only access to the interior
was by means of boats and stages; now
some twelve or fifteen trains a day shoot
like arrows from this central city. Then
wide, wide, uncultivated plains stretched
away from the borders of the rivers: now
lens of thousands of farm houses dot the
landscape, and waving graceful trees and
well tilled fields make them an earthlv
Eden.
Then I was a beardless boy, full of
hope and vigor: now my locks are graj-,
and full grown men and women call me
“father.”
O who can number the steps I have
taken, tell the words I have spoken, or
call up the thoughts that have flashed
through my brain, or crystalized in ser
mons preached in valleys and on hill
tops?
What multitudes have come and gone
since that memorable night! What
changes have been wrought in Church
and Slate: in heart and life!
The solemn surges of eternity as they
dash and moan on life's rock bound
shore, sound more and more distinct,and
soon I’ll be wet with the spray, and the
line that measures twenty-six years more
will stretch far out into that ocean of
eternity.
We stand to night on the deck of life’s
tossing vessel. YYiads whistle above and
waves wash its sides. We are looking
forward, forward, to a golden shore. We
watch daily the “Bulletin Board” and
count the miles we have passed, and take
our latitude as we glide along. We sit
together and read of a fair land and talk
of its treasured wealth. We are ap
proaching the Gojflen Gate. Soon the
arrowy rays of heaven's light house will
greet our vision, and our vessel’s prow
will make the celestial harbor, not in a
land of strangers, but among our kindred
and friends. There will be a mighty
crowd awaiting our arrival, and quickly
shall our loved ones single us out and
clasp us to their throbbing bosoms.
Glory to God for the prospect of heaven!
Alay you and I. and all our loved ones,
meet in the Golden City!

It is now believed beyond doubt in
Philadelphia that Charles' Geistlich, the
missing shoemaker, is the murderer of
his wife and two children, an account of
the discovery of whose bodies was pub
Hslied yesterday. On Alonday a letter was
placed in the hands of the police ad
dressed to thn Mayor, Which had been
dropped in one of the city mail boxes
between Saturday night and Sunday
afternoon. It came from Geistlich him
self, anil in it he calls the Alayor’s atten
tion to the fact that three dead bodies lay
in his house, and that he himself isabout
to commit suicide. A telegram from At
lantic City was received by the authori
ties stating that the missing man was in
that place, and word was sent to arrest
him. The Philadelphia authorities in
cline to the belief that Geistlich
is demented. Another letter from
Geistljch to his step-son, and post
marked June it, 2 p. m., plainly
acknowledges the murder of hi- wife and
children. He says his wife liked to keep
up a respectable appearance, but failure
and a good many other enemies pre
vented this, and not being able to regain
or keep tip their standing amongst re
spectable neighbors, they gave up fight
ing any longer for existence. Geistlich
says he is only waiting for a report in
the morning papers of finding his wife
and children dead in the house, and his
life is blown put as if the wind blows
out a burning candle. He requests the
stepson to see that the moiher and chil
dren “be put decently in the earth, as
there is plenty left, if sold, to pay fune
ral expenses. ”
A dispatch from Atlantic City last
night stales that Geistlich had not been
arrested, hut was last seen at Absecom,
N. J., and left there lor New Y’ork. He
writes letters hack to each point he
leaves saying he will be dead when they
are delivered.

Berlin, June 13.—Yesterday was chiefly
spent by the envoys to Congress in paying
visits of ceremony, and introductions and
receptions. State cafriages, with richly
caprisoned horses, outriders and footmen in
state costumes, rolled about the streets all
the afternoon, conveying special envoys to
and from the old castle, where they were
received in audience by the Crown Prince,
in the order of the time of their arrival in
Berlin.
A severe thunder storm marred the out
door proceedings.
The British delegates and suites dined
with Lord Odo Russell, the British Ambas
sador. Prince and Princess Bismarck held
a reception in the evening. The precedent
of the Vienna Congress is to be followed in
all matters of ceremonials. The plenipo
tentiaries will take their seats at one o’clock
in the afternoon in the following order:
Allemayn, Antriche, France, Grand Bri-
taigne, etc.
The arrangement of the hall and adjoin
ing rooms was completed last evening. The
horse-shoe table, covered with a green
cloth, stands in the centre of the saloon.
The chairs around it are covered with green
leather, while about the sides of the saloon
are arranged chairs covered with red silk, in
conformity with the rich carpeting of the
floor. The buffet is tastefully decorated
with hot house plants.
About one hundred and fifty guests are
invited to the banquet in honor of the
plenipotentiaries to-night in the White
Hall of the palace.
Soon after one o'clock this afternoon the
plenipotentiaries to the Congress drove up
to Prince Bismarck’s palace in carriages
belonging to different embassies. Each
plenipotentiary wore the usual diplomatic
dress of his native country. At 2:20 o’clock
the flag of Germany was hoisted over the
palace betokening that the Congress had
opened. The street in front of the palace
is closed against ordinary traffic.
The first sitting of the Congress lasted an
hour and a half. Lord Beaconsfield spoke
in English, and Prince Bismarck replied in
that tongue.
Oue hundred and sixty persons were pres
ent to-night at the banquet in honor of the
plenipotentiaries, including a large number
of German Princes and Princesses, and all
the members of the Congress except Prince
Gortschakoff.
The Crown Prince thanked the powers for
their marks of sympathy with the Emperor,
drank the health of the various sovereigns,
and expressed a sincere desire for the
establishment of an understanding which
would be a pledge of universal peace.
The Turkish plenipotentiaries have arrived
in Berlin.
The government, with the view of the re
pression of the Social Democracy, intends to
enforce a rigid application of the passport
regulations, am} a strict enforcement of the
laws relative to the press and public meet
ings.
A woman and two men were to-day sen
tenced to imprisonment for treasonable ut
terances against the Emperor. The woman
to four years, one of the men to two years,
and the other to eighteen months.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS DEFEATED.
Washington. June 13.—In the House the
vote to-night on the motion to extend the
day of adjournment to the 20th was de
feated by a large majority.
Wh y is not the House, asks the Bridge
port Farmer, as much entitled to an
opinion upon the proper strength, etc.. of
the army as the Senate, and why should
not its judgment be as entitled to become
effective as that of the Senate? Indeed
in the event of a radical and obstinate
difference between the two Houses,
ought not the voice of the House to de
t ermine the matter at issue? It certainly
is the nearer of the two to the people.
The House should adhere to its proposed
reduction of the army and to its proposed
prohibition of the use of the army as
political machine, even should its in
sistenceresult in an adjournment without
having passed the armv appropriation

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF ROANOKE
COLLEGE.
Salem., Va., June 13.—The commence
ment exercises of Roanoke •ollege took
place to-day in the presence of a large and
brilliant assemblage. The Latin salutatory
wae delivered by W. H. Shahan, of Fellows-
ville, W. Va.j the Greek oration by
G. B. Stephenson, of Monterey, Va.,
a German oration by W. C. Dreher, of
Columbia, S. C., and the valedictory was
pronounced by A. D. Sayre, of Montgomery,
Ala. Among the interesting ceremonies of
the day was the laying of tne corner stone
of the Bittle memorial and Lewis Hall.
Lieutenant Governor Walker, of Virginia,
delivered the address on this occasion. He
said in substance: “Almost a century has
passed 6ince General Andrew Lewis
was laid to rest. Bom in the
mountains of West Augusta, a pioneer
in the march of civilization, reared amid
hardships, his neighbors and friends such
men as George Washington, Patrick Henry
and Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Lewis was
at once a man full grown morally, mentally
and physically. Had he been bom in later
days he would have led great armies as suc
cessfully as he did his neighbors to victory
over the Indians at Point Pleasant on Octo
ber 11th, 1774. To his courage, his forti
tude, his patriotism, his honesty, his self-
sacrificing devotfon to his duty, he owes the
proud place Virginia accords him as one of
the six figures which surround the father of
his country on the monument at Richmond.
In dedicating Lewis Hall in connection with
the Bittle memorial building, we bring two
centuries together and unite the representa
tives of two eras of our history—the sturdy
pioneer with the polished and graceful
scholar: the intrepid Indian fighter with
the patient, laborious college professor; the
patriot soldier with the consistent, devoted
minister of the GnsiiftL” Commencement
The HEXornoNE. — An intelligent
farmer living in Iowa has invented-a
henophoue, modeled on the principle of
ihe telephone, by which one old, reliable
hen occupying a central office in the
henery, sits on all the nests about the
establishment, leaving the other fowls
free to lay eggs, scratch and cackle. As
fast as a Hew nest contains the full com
plement of eggs, it is connected with the
central office^ by a copper wire and the
business is settled. The only trouble
with the machine is that it sits so hard it
hatches out the porcelain nest eggs along
with the others, so that one chick in
every- nest is born with glass eyes and
the farmer has to buy and train a dog to
lead it around. This makes it expen
sive,
minister of the Gospel.” Commencement
day closed with the reunion banquet, which
began at 8 o’clock this evening and lasted
until a late hour. Toasts were given and
responded to by a number of prominent
gentlemen. The exercises of the week have
been a grand success.
