FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Washington, November 10.—The
Democratic caucus met but did noth
ing beyond instructing Thurman to
confer with the Democratic members
of the Committee on Elections and
report to an indefinitely adjourned
caucus. The feeling seems to be in
favor of a motion to discharge the
committee from further consideration
and bring the credentials squarely
before the Senate.
Sl’OI'FORD AND KELLOGG'S POLICY OF
DELAY.
The Committee on Elections had a
full meeting and ordered the pupers
of Spoffbrd and Kellogg printed. A
motion by Saulsbury to take up the
Eustls case was laid on the table, un
til the sub-committee on tile Spoftbrd-
ltellogg case had reported. The pol
icy of delay seems determined upon
by the Republicans, and the Demo
crats are not over anxious to press the
issue. The committee meets to-mor
row.
THE COLORADO CASE.
The Committee on Elections of the
House had an informal test of the
sentiment in the Colorado case.
Three favor Belford, three favor Pat
terson, four favor no election and two
are non-committal. Chances favor a
reference bupk to the people.
NOMINATION OF HARLAN NOT EN
COURAGING.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
considered the nomination of Harlan
to the Supreme bench without reach
ing a conclusion. His prospects are
not encouraging.
SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
The Finance Committee failed to
secure a quorum to-dav and took no
action on the silver bill.
ENGLISH LEGATION.
Victor Drumund, new secretary of
the English legation was installed.
NEW TARIFF BILL.
The sub-Committee on Ways and
Means are holding daily sessions with
a view of presenting a new tariff Dill
early in the regular session.
SCHURZ ON FORESTS.
Sec re tiny Schurz is represented as
enthusiastic for the preservation of
American forests. He is quoted that
this matter has been dallied with
for 75 years, The following, furnish
ed by a person somewhat interested,
amplifies the views of the Secretary:
Maj. T. H. Price, hacked by Repre
sentative Herbert, of Alabama, and
Hooker of Mississippi, had an inter
view to-day with the Secretary of the
Interior in reference to the Govern
ment raids on the timber getters of
the Gulf. The Secretary is firmly set
in his determination to institute suits
for all logs, timber, turpentine and
lumber taken from public lands
whether in the hands of innocent pur
chasers or not. He admits that the
proceedings recently quashed by Judge
Hill, were irregular, hut says new or
ders are issued for suits in the regular
way. His notions about protecting
the American forests are sufficiently
extreme to amount to the destruction
of large numbers of the American
people. “Woodman spare that tree”
bills will be proposed in Congress to
restrain this ruinious policy, if possi
ble.
SUPREME COURT.
Blount vs. Windley, error to the
Supreme Court of South Carolina,
under a statute of the State passed in
1860 to enable its banks to close their
business, the plaintiff in error was
appointed commissioner of the Bank
or Washington and recovered a judg
ment against the defendant in error
on a debt incurred as security. Under
an act two years later, the Legisleture
provided that any debt or judgment

Washington, November 18. —
During the morning hour a number

sideration of unfinished business, be
ing a resolution of Mr. Davis of West
Virginia, providing for the appoint
ment of a committee of five Senators,
to inquire into the alleged discrepan
cies in the books ami accounts of the
Treasury Department.
On motion the Senate receded
from amendments to the arhiy bill in
which the House noil-concurred, and
the bill goes to the president. The Sen

1IOUME.
The bill In reference to the Paris
Exposition came up the first thing
to-day and kept its place to adjourn
ment.
After a funny speech by Cox, of
New York, the general debate closed.
A motion to strike out the enacting
clause, which would be equivalent to
a defeat of the bill, was made by
Mills, of Texas, and was rejected by a
majority of forty. All who voted for
the motian were Democrats.
An amendment was adopted on
motion of Steel, of North Carolina,
requiring four of the commissioners
to be practical agriculturists.
The bill will probably be disposed
of to-morrow.

Washington, November 19. —
Messrs. C. P. Huntington, Pioney,
Dillon and other parties representing
rifle and Central Rail-
due to any of the State banks might
be paid in the bills of such banks.
The defendant in error, having ten
dered such bills in tills case, objection
was taken that the commissioner
was entitled to payment
coin or legal tenders, and that
the act authorizing the sat
isfaction in the bills of the bank was
retrospective in its action. Admit
ting the retrospective character of the
legislation, it is sustained here us
there is not constitutional inhibition,
and it is said of such legislation that
though generally distrusted, it is of
ten beneficial and sometimes neces
sary. Unless it violates some provis
ion of the Federal Constitution there
is no power in this Court to declare it
void. Justice Miller delivered the
opinion.

Versailles^ Nov. 19.—In tlie Sen
ate this afternoon M. Arago, in the
name of the Left, moved the previous
question in regard to M. Andreau De-
Kerdrel’s interpellation us to how
the Ministers instructed officials to
act witli regard to tlie electoral in
quiry, voted by the Chamber of Depu
ties, on the ground that it is uncon
stitutional and an encroachment upon

RIGHT PASSES ORDER OF DAY BY 153
TO 130.
Special to the Enquirer-Sun.]
Versailles, Nov. lit.—M. DuKer-
urel on introducing ills interpellation
in tlie Senate to-day admitted tlie right
of Deputies to order an inquiry into
elections, but said he wished to pre
vent the inquiry from encroaching
upon tlie prerogatives of the executive
or judicature.
Duke DcBroglie replied .tlie propos
ed inquiry constituted such an en
croachment it would not be impartial
and being a parliamentary and not
judicial inquiry, citizens were not
bound to answer questions of investi
gating committee, The instruc
tions which tlie 'Government had
given on the eve of quitting office
were tliut tlie functionaries must act
in regard to this inquiry as ordered
by their superiors.
M. Lubouluye urged that tlie Gov
ernment ought to invite functiona
ries to give evidence before commis
sion. As tlie Deputies had tlie right
to impeach tlie Ministry, they also
necessarily had tlie rigiit to make ju
dicial inquiry. He urged tlie Senate
to adopt a conciliatory attitude aud
pointed to its responsibility as im
mense.
Duke D’Audifl'et Pusquicr then
read the order of tlie day proposed by
till- Right, viz.: That tlie Senate, ta
king cognizance of declarations of the
Government and being resolved In
accordance with tlie Conservatives
principles which it lias always sus
tained, ought not to sutler any in
fringements of prerogatives of either
of the public powers, passes to tlie or
der of tlie day.
M. Dnfaure deprecated the attempt
to stir up conflict with tlie deputies
by means of this order of tho day.
'Despite M. Dufaure’s appeal, an
attempt of the Left to order of tlie
day, pure and simple, was defeated
by a vote of 153 to 130, and tlie order
of the day proposed by the Rigiit
rote of 151 yeas to 129

Death--Cuator the Last to Die.
New York, November 10.—Sitting
Bull has been talking with a corres
pondent. und telling tlie story of tlie
Custer massacre, lie says: “The
flgnt was hell — a thousand devils.
The squaws were like flying birds;
the bullets like humming bees. We
thought we were whipped at first, hut
by and by afterwards — no. Your
people were killed. I tell no lies
about dead men. These men who
came witli tlie Long Huir were a
good men us ever (ought. When they
rode up their liorses were tired, and
they were tired. When they got off
their horses they could not stand
firmly on their feet. They swayed to
und fro—so my young men have told
me—like the iimbs of cypresses ill a
great wind. Some of them staggered
under tlie weight ol' their guns; but
they began to light, nt once. But by
this time our camps were aroused,
and there were plenty of warriors to
meet them. They tired with needle
guns. We replied with magazine
guns and repeating rifles.”
Sitting Bull illustrated, by putting
liis palms together, the rapidity of the
fust lade.
“Our young men mined lead across
the river and drove tlie white braves
back, and then they rushed across
themselves, then they found that they
had a good deal to do. Tlie trouble
was with the soldiers. They were so
exhausted and their horses bothered
them ho much tliut they could not
take good aim. Sonic of their liorses
broke away from them und left them
to stand and drop and die. All the
men fell buck, lighting nnd dropping.
They could not lire fast enough,
though they kept in pretty good order.
They would full hack across a eaulie
and make a fresh stand beyond on
higher ground. There were a great
many brave men in that tight, nnd
from time to time, while it was going
on, they were shot, down like pigs.
They eimld not help themselves. One
by one the officers fell. Where the
last light took place—where the last
stand was made—the Long Hair stood
like a sheaf of corn witli all tlie curs
fallen around him.”
“Not wounded?”
“No.”
"How ninny stood by him?"
“A‘fcw.”
"When did lie full?"
"Ho killed a man. When lie fell,
lie laughed.”
“You mean lie cried out?"
“No, lie laughed. Ho hud fired liis
last shot.”
"From a carbine?"
"No, a pistol.”
“Did lie stand up after ho first
fell?"
“He rose up on liis bunds and tried
another shot, but liis piHtot would not
go off.”
“Was any one else standing up
when lie fell down?"
“One man was kneeling. That wus
all, lint lie died before tlie Long
Hair."
Sitting Bull says there were only
squaws, old men and little children
in front of Reno, keeping him in liis
strong position on the bluff and pre
venting him giving aid to Custer.

Edward Huusiick, u Viennese jour
nalist, writes that while Adelina Putti
was in Vienna lust spring, he asked
her to relate tho details of licr early
life.
“With pleasure,” replied tiic sing
er. “I will tell you what I know,
nnd you may interrupt me as often as'
you please. ' That I am no longer a
young woman you know. What is
the use of my denying that l was
born on the 19th of February, 1843?
I am a child of the theatre, like u sol
dier’s child ; therefore, I have no real
home. My father was a Sicilian, my
mother a Roman ; in Madrid, where
they Hotli sang in opera, I was born,
iiikI I was brought lip in New York.
Of languages, I drst learned English,
then Italian, and finally French und
Spanish. I was very young when I
went to America. My father, Salva
tore Putti"—(“1 see liim now," I
interrupted ; "a tall, handsome man,
with white Hair and black eyes”) “he
was a tenor—a good singer—and a
favorite with tlie public. My mother
wns more than that, she was a great
urtist. She achieved her reputation
in Italy as Signora Barilli, which wns
the naine of her first husband. Ad
mired by the public, she even made
Grisi jealous, who, once put in tlie
shade by her, never cured to appeur
with my mother together. My ste|>-
brother Barilli, a good singer, first
taught me to sing, and that, too, in a
thoroughly systematic, manner."
"Maurice Strakoscli was not, then,
us is generally supposed, your first
aud only teacher?"
“Certaiiilv not; Strakoscli, an Aus

ELDER MISTER,
Amelia, who, at tliut time, possessed
a beautiful Mezzo-soprano, which, un
fortunately, she soon lost. He only

Harbor of SorUh, and afterwards
when T, a finished singer, traveled
through Europe lie went through my
parts with But let us return
to those days of childhood in New
York. A musical ear and (lie rapaci
ty und desire to sing were developed
iii meat an early age, and, tlierefon
when I was but a little child I wi
taught singing by my brother-in-law
and piano-playing by my sister Car-
lotta. Carlotla, whom you know,
laid been educated as a pianist. It
was only discovered ufterwurds tHat
slie possessed a voice—one, too, which
sang higher notes than mine—and
iny success as a singer induced her
to pursue the same career—only in
the concert room, of course, for she
lias been lame since she was a child.
And thus we three sisters and a
younger brother, Carlo i’atti, who
died recently, lived in New York
with our parents, in perfect harmony
and without any cares. When a lit
tle child I was already passionately
fond of music aud tlie theatre. When
ever my mother sung I was at the
opera; every melody, every gesture,
became firmly impressed on my mind.
Then, ufter being brought home and
put to bed, I would secretly get up,
anil by the light of the little lump en

FOR MY OWN .SATISFACTION,

at the theatre. A red-lined cloak of
my father's und an old hut of my
mother's served me us costume, and
thus I acted, danced, and chirped—
barefooted, but with romantic drapery
through all the operas.”
“You lacked, then, only applause
nnd wreaths?"
“Oh, no ; they were not lacking
either, for I personated, too, my au
diences applauded and threw bouquets
at myself—'‘bouquets' which I rather
skillfully niuul'aetured of old news
papers. Then bitter misfortune befell
us. The manager failed and disap
peared without even payingliis debts,
the troupe dispersed, and il was all
over with the Italian opera. Our par
ents' occupation wus gone, we were a
numerous family, and soon were luir-
rassed by poveriy and trouble. My
father carried many things to the
pawnshop, and sometimes knew not
now to procure bread for us. But I
did not understand anything uliout
Hiieli tiiingH, and sang from morning
till night. My father observed this,
and the thought occurred to Him that
my bright, childish voice would save
the family * from starvation. And,
thank God, I did save them. When
seven years of age, I appeared as a
concert singer, and did il with all the
pleasure and cureless gladness of a
child. In tlie concert hull I stood on

"I)o you know anything else?”
the journalist permitted himself to
ask.
“Ob, yes ; I can make dresses, and
know all niunner of handiwork. My
mother insisted upon it, for the voice,
fluid she, is easily lost, and the oper
