SALISBURY & (*>., Proprietors.
Gordon and Conkling. Some
difficulty has arisen in Washington
between Senators Gordon and Conk-
ling, not having happened in Bulga
ria, the Southern press agent, in his
early press tells us hardly anything
about it, though he takfes particular
pains to send us the proclamation of
Prince Milan ofServia. We,of course,
infer that General Gordon repelled
the insulting impertinence of the New
York bully, and he replied with ad
vanced insolence and Gordon answer
ed him in the proud spirit of a gen
tleman. Conkling’s impertinence is
well known, as is Gordon’s courtesy.
The latter has been too often tested
on the battle field for his courage to
be doubted for a moment. He doubt
less repelled some of Conkling’s
slanders on the South and hence the
origin of the difficulty.
Central Railroad.—The total
earnings are reported for the fiscal
year, including all the divisions, at
$2,409,092 21, expenses $1,582,166 86.
The earnings show a falling ofF of
$192,449 89 and expenses $35,834 01.
The earning'-; have been reduced on
all roads except the Southwestern,
yet a dividend of two and a half per
cent, has been declared. Is this for
the benefit of those who wish to un
load stock?
Senator Hi tler’s Demands.—
Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
has taken the wind out of the sails of
the Radicals in the Senate by himself
demanding an investigation. He de
sires immediate cliquin' but Cameron
of Wisconsin, objected and the ques
tion went over.

Applicants for foreingn missions
should iook well to their orthogra
phy. After Sanford had lost the Bel
gium appointment because of the
complaints of dyspeptic correspond
ents who had too many or too few
of his dinners, Mr. Beauchamp, of
Indiana, next lost it for saying in a
love letter that he tendered his fair
. .one his “Hole heart.” What little
things will sometimes prick the fitful
bubble of fame.
A Chicago Newspaper, which
ought to know, is authority for the
statement that ex-Minister E. B.
Washbume is a candidate for the
United States Senate, and also for
the Presidency. He expects to succe
ed Senator Oglesby in 1879, and then
hopes to make the Presidential nomi
nation tiie following year. He is ac
cused of puffing the Germans in his
lecture with a view to making politi
cal capital, but, of course, there is
nothing in this.
France, after along indifference to
Indian corn, is now awakening to its
value as food for horses, in lieu of the
more expensive wheat and barley.
Htfr Several horse railway companies in
, 1 i Havre feed their animals on the com,
P coarsely ground and mingled with
i chopped straw and hay, and a small
proportion of roots. Livery stables
have also adopted the feed. One sta
ble prprietor, who controls 150 horses,
states that he saved 35,000 francs
($7,000) last year by using Indian
corn. The example of Havre isgradu-
ally being followed elsewhere.
Europeans are slow to cliange their
customs.

The ttrent Fraud Never to be Forgot
ten. and Mure to be Pnldied.
From an interview with the Hon. Henriy B.
Piti/nr in the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
“Your idea is to keep the memory
of the Electoral fraud continually be
fore the minds and eyes of the peo
ple?-’ -
“Yes, I would burn it in their mem
ory so that it could never be effaced.
1 would keep it perpetually beforethe
youth of this country, so that It never
should be lost sight of, but live as a
continual warning against the repeti
tion of such an outrage.”
“In one of your speeches last sum
mer you took the grouud, didn’t you,
thatthe record of the Senate declaring
Hayes to be lawfully elected should
he expunged?”
“Yes, that was in my speech at
Sandusky City. I alluded to the
famous expungement resolutions of
Mr. Benton that were passed by the
Senate. In 1833, Henry Clay had
offered a series of resolutions in the
United States Senate charging Gen.
Jackson with violating the Constitu
tion in removing the deposits from
the United States Bank. It was
passed by a party vote, the Whigs
being in the ascendency at the time.
The ball was set in motion, and the
subject was agitated eveiywhere by
1 he press, by the public speakers, by
the State and county conventions all
over the country, until four years
after the record had been made, the
majority in the Senate had changed
to the Democratic side, and the Clerk
was ordered to draw heavy black lines
around it, and to write ‘Expunged by
-- order of the Senate.’ Using this in
cident as ah illustration, I expressed
the wish, and belief, too, that before
the 4th of March, 1881, the two
Houses of Congress should order'the
expunging of the lying record made
four years before, that Mr. Hayes had
been elected President of the United
States, and the (Jerk should be requir
ed to write across the face of that
record, ‘Expunged by order of the
American people.’ That is what you
allude to, and I have faith that it Mill
yet be done.”
“Well, you M’crc one of the actors
in that drama, Mr. Payne. Now tell
me, didn’t some of the Republicans
realize that the fraud they were com
mitting Mould sooner or later come
hack to vex them ?”
“A few of them did, perhaps, but
far the greater part M’ere so elated
over the success of their scheme that
they lost sight of all future responsi
bility for it. I remember the mom-
ing after the Florida vote M'as decided
by the Commission, Garfield and
Edmunds,and one or two others, were,
M'ith myself, standing on the floor,
talking over what had taken place.
Garfield wasparticularly pleased with
the turn aftuirs had taken, and, rub
bing his hands, badgered me on the
disappointment I felt. I made some
reply, to the effect that he would
probably live to feel greater disap
pointment than I then felt because of
the same thing—that so great a wrong
as had been committed would bring
its own punishment—tliat no party
could afford to perjxduatc its power
by such means. Edmunds looked
grave, and shortly after, as we walked
away, said, ou may he right; it re
mains to he seen whether it is a
triumph for our party.’ But the most
of them didn’t look beyond the tem
porary success that they had achieved
by the aid of their fraud.”
“Whoa, Emma!” is the English
slang at present. The other night, in
■Manchester, M’heu Adelaide Neilson
- ..as about to take her poison as
“Juliet,” a gallery god unexpectedly
shouted out to her, “Whoa, Emiua!”
and she had to M’hoa in the midst of
her woe, for the audience roared w ith
laughter. And a few nights ago,
when Gilbert Grant, of Emma mine
celebrity, the friend of Schenck, hap
pened to be in court giving evidence
concerning some of his operations, a
hollow voice from a man present,
whose tattered garb seemed to indi
cate that he had reached hard pan,
cried out metalically, “Whoa Emma!’

vs. Shearer’s Administrators from

Where the plaintiff’s intestate Mas
run over ana killed by a train of cars,
which M'as moving backwards, with-
in the limits of an incorporated tOM’n,
while the intestate was walking on
the track in the direction in which
the train was moving; the engineer
not being able to see ahead of the
train, and no other person being
stationed to keep a lookout ahead;
Held, that these undisputed facts fix
ed the charge of negligence op the
railroad company. 2. The act ap
proved Feb. 21, 1860, entitled “an act
to prevent homicides,” n’hich repeal
ed sections 1938 and 1939 of the Code
of 1852, and substituted for them pro
visions materially different, having
been omited from"the revised Code of
1867, in n’hich the repealed sections
were inserted; and the act of the same
title, approved Feb. 21, 1872, having
been passed to remedy omission; sec
tion 1941 (Revised Code ? 2300),
which gives against corporations the
same remedy for wrong
ful acts causing death,
which said sections 1938-9 gave
against individuals, now give the
same remedy as amended by the act
of 1872. In an action to recover dam
ages for a wrongful act causing death,
contributory negligences on the part
of the deceased is defensive matter,
and the burden of proving it rests on
the defendant, unless the plaintiff’s
own testimony inculpates the de-
cased. 4. A charge which asserts
that “u’here one man swears positive
ly that he sau’ or heard a certain
thing, and any number of witnesses
sM’ear that they did not see or hear it,
then the witness swearing affirma
tively that (he saw or heard it out
weigh ts the others,” is properly re
used, because not confined to wit-
nesses who are equally credible, and
have equal means of knowledge. 5.
The damages allowed by the statute
which gives an action for a wrongful
act causing death, are punitive, and
are not confined to the pecuniary loss t
sustained by the family of the de
ceased by reason of his death. Judg
ment affirmed.

down here with a married- man who
thinks he knows a good deal, and
therefore I have some apology in aj>-
pearing in the capacity of an adviser.
You have each served an apprentice
ship—the one as a Wright, the other
as a Turner. You have united your
professions and are now. capable of
accomplishing much. My advice to
you is, that you commence the con
struction of a wheel—a uiieel of hap
piness, whose continual revolutions
will bear you ]>eacefully over the
journey of life. . Upon the lathe
of cheerfulness the Turner must
turn a hub. That hub must be
love. And the Wright must assist
by turning the crunk. Then with
the hand-axe and the drawing-knife
of industry the Wright (with the re
ciprocal assistance of the Turner, of
course) must supply the wheel with
three spokes—“Wealth, Health and
Contentment.” Just here the speaker
became nervous and abruptly con
cluded his remarks. He said: I hope
you M’ill construct this wheel. [Then
addressing the bride]. It is true you
have lost your profession as a Turner,
but it has turned out all Wright. The
next morning several persons ex
pressed some regret that the directions
for making the wheel M’ere not com
plete; to which, by authority of the
adviser it mbs responded that
the wheel must be bound
by some little fellers. They,
with the other k parts well con
structed, will overcome the centri
fugal motion, M’ithout the necessity
of tiring. And indeed the couple
must never tire.

of troubles in El Paso county, Texas,
and the telegram of Governor Hub
bard to tlie President, calling for as
sistance from the United States troops
for the purpose of repelling the invas
ion of Texas territory by the Mexican
force, caused some excitement in this
city, but the advices iu possession of
our Government do not warrant the
impression that any difficulties other
than merely local troubles have pre
sented themselves. There is no idea
whatever that the Mexican Govern
ment is making any possible demon
stration, but so far as can be learned
tlie unfriendly movements are of the
same nature as those made the subject
of attention from the AVar depart
ment sonic months ago, M’hen ques
tions of tlie proprietorship of certain
salt pits in El Paso county caused
much disorder in that section. The
Government does not consider that
the troubles reported to-day are in any

Washington, Dec. 15.—The town

night of sharp M’ords betu’een Sena
tors Gordon and Conkling in execu
tive session. Accounts published
this morning are equally conflicting.
There is no doubt the situation is dif
ficult, and it is still thought best to
await an authorized statement of the
affair.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Mr. Thurman, of Ohio, said there
was a matter which lie was authoriz
ed to state Mould be brought to the
attention of the Senate. He there
fore moved that the doors be closed
under the 64th Rule, and the motion
M’as unanimously agreed to. Rule 64
provides that on a motion made and
seconded to close the doors of the
Senate on the discussion of any busi
ness M’hich may, in the opinion of a
Senator, require secrecy, the presid
ing officer shall direct the gallersis to
be cleared, and during the discussion
of such motion the doors shall remain
closed. This motion M’as submitted
for the purpose of considering the
difficulty between Messrs. Conkling
and Gordon in the executive session
of yesterday, and after the doors M’ere
re-opened, the following paper Mas
made public:
During the secret session Mr. Ham
lin offered the following, which M’as
unanimously agreed to: AVhereas, a
misunderstanding having arisen be
tween tlie Hon. Roscoe Conkling and
the Hon. John B. Gordon in the
course of the’executive proceedings of
the Senate yesterday and mutual un
derstandings thereon having been
arrived at as set out in the folloM’ing
paper, it is ordered that the said paper
be entered at large on tlie legislative
journal of the Senate. During an exec
utive session of the Senate held yes
terday, words Mere uttered both by
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, and by
Senator Conkling, of New York,
which were mutually felt to be un
kind and offensive. * Reports of the
incident appearing in the papers of
this morning which are inaccurate
and unjust to both speakers, upon
a careful inquiry as to what Mas
said by each speaker and what
M’as understood to be said by
the other, it is certain that the first
offensive M’ords M’ere inspired by an
honest misunderstanding of what
had been innocently said by the other
speaker. One harsh remarli provoked
another, as too often happens, but all
the offensiveness was the outgrowth
of a misapprehension. Since such
was the fact we, M’ho are mutual
friends of both Senators, are of the
opinion that it is due alike to the
Senate and the speakers that M’hat
ever was felt to be unkind or offen
sive in the remarks of either should
be treated as neither uttered, and M’e
are now authorized to state are mu
tually and simultaneously withdrawn.

read in the Senate in the presence of
all the witnesses of tlie transaction.
It met so •completely the approbation
of all the Senators, that it was ordered
unanimously to be entered on the
records of the Senate. This is the
first entery of tlie kind since like
action M’as taken in respect to the
celebrated affair between Senators
Poindexter and Forsyth, which was
arranged in the same w’ay through
the good offices of Henry Clay over
forty years ago.
NO MESSAGES PASSED.
Senators Conkling and Gordon ever
sinee the difficulty occurred have de
clined to converse on Hie subject. No
communication either verbally or in
writing passed between the 'parties,
certain senators having immediately
after the event commenced the busi

prominently Senators Hamlim and
Ransom, who were especially judi-

AVashington, Dec. 15. — The
House resumed consideration of the
resolution authorizing the committee
to resume investigations. Indications
are that the day’s session M’ill be pro
longed.
The effort of the Democrats to se
cure action on the resolution for a
wholesale investigation of the De
partments was stubbornly resisted on
the side of the Republicans until
half-past three o’clock, when, on
motion of Mills, of Texas, tlie motion
was postponed till the 10th of January
next.
Leave was given to the committee
of foreign affairs and refused to the
committee on military affairs to con
tinue the investigation of the Mexi
can border troubles during the recess.
Adjourned till 10th of January.
SENATE.
Mr. Paddock, ofNebraska, enquired
if it would be any violation of the
agreement made yesterday for the
Senate to proceed to the consideration
of executive business. - Tlie Chair
(Mr. Ferry) ruled that it M ould be a
violation.
Mr. Sargent—I think so too.
The motion for an executive session
M’as, therefore, not made.
After some other preliminary busi
ness, Mr. Butler, of South Carolina,
submitted the following:
Resolved, Tliat the committee on
privileges and elections be, and here
by is, instructed to inquire forthwith
and report as soon as may be, any
threats, promises or arrangements re
specting existing or contemplated ac
cusations or criminal prosecutions
against any Senator, or whether any
other corrupt, or otherwise unlawful
means or influences have been in any
manner used or put in operation di
rectly or indirectly by M. C. Butler,
one of the Senators from the State of
South Carolina, or by any other Sen
ator, or other person, for the purpose
of influencing tlie vote of Senators on
the question of discharging said com
mittee from the consideration of said
M. C. Butler’s credentials, or the
other question at the late session of
the Senate, and that said committee
have power to send for persons and
papers, and to sit during the sittings
of the Senate.
Mr. Butler said he submitted the
resolution in pursuance of a notice
which had been previously given
when his credentials M’ere under con
sideration in the Senate. The resolu
tion M’as substantially that offered l>y-
the Senator from Vermont (Mr. Ed
munds) at that time. So tar as he
(Mr. Butler) M’as concerned he desir
ed, he might say lie demanded that
the fullest investigation be made
touching his conduct in connection
with his admission to the Senate.
When tlie Senator from Vermont
(Mr. Edmunds) submitted, liis reso
lution to inquire into the charges he
read ail extract form the New York
Tribune. He, therefore, hoped that
the extract M ould go before the com
mittee, and they would examine the
charges contained therein. He asked
for the present consideration of the
resolution.
Mr. Cameron, of AVisconsin, object
ed and the resolution went over.

AVashington, Dec. 11.—Senator
Davis, of Illinois, introduced a very
important bill in the Senate to-day,
for the establishment of a court of
appeals. The bill provides that in
every United States judicial circuit
there shall be a court of appeals, con
sisting of the Justice of the United
States Supreme Court holding the cir
cuit, the circuit judges of the respective
circuit and one of the district judges,
to be designated by the senior circuit
judges, two of whom shall constitute
a quorum. The circuit judges shall
be made equal in number to the dis
trict judges, and such additional
judges are to he appointed by the
President in the usual manner. This
court of appeals is to take jurisdiction
of all cases in which amounts not ex
ceeding $10,000 are appealed thereto,
which would now go to the United
States Supreme Court, and also over
all such matters ansiug under treaty
or between States. In other words,
the real purpose of the bill is to lessen
the business of the United States Su
preme Court, leaving before that
court nothing save questions of law
and adjudication of important cases
involving large amounts.

quest that proceedings be instituted
at once for closing it up. The bank
lias been losing deposits so rapidly
that its president and board of trus

1873 there has been a steady drain
upon the assets until the amount of
deposits has been reduced from nearlv
$450,000 to $180,000.

An amusing incident is said to have
occurred in the Cabinet meeting at
AVashington on Friday when Secre
tary Evarts mentioned the tact that
Emory P. Beauchamp, of Terre
Haute, was urged by many of tlie In
diana delegation in Congress for the
Belgian mission. Mr. Beauchamp is |
at present consul at Cologne. Post
master General Key said he Mould
like to tell a little story he had heard
illustrating Mr. Beauchamp’s fitness
for a position under Mr. Evarts’ de
partment. It appears that a year ago
Mr. Beauchamp addressed some
touching letters to a young American
lady traveling abroad. In one of them
he addressed a tender of his whole
heart, which he wrote “Hole hart,”
and the rest of his epistle correspond
ed throughout with this sample of
his orthography.—N. Y. Tribune.

TURKEY PROPOSES THE MEDIATION
OF ENGLAND.
London, December 15.—The Post,
in its leading article this morning,
says it is understood the British
Cabinet yesterday had before them a
circular from the Porte intimating its
willingness to accept the mediation
of Europe. The Porte asserts that the
guarantees for good government fur
nished by the Constitution are far
more advantageous than the estab
lishment of autonimous States which
can only lead to the disintegration of
the Empire. The Post, however,
considers no present prospects of ac
ceptance of mediation, as Germany is
hostile thereto, and any offer on the
part of England is not likely to be
well received by Russia.
APPEAL OF THE PORTE TO THE
\ POM’ERS.
London, December 15.—A Con
stantinople dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph says the circular note dis
patched by the Porte to the signato
ries of the treaty of 1871 commences
by the statement of the state, origin,
the present importance, and it is per
fectly known the Imperial Govern
ment is conscious of having done
nothing to provoke M’ar, lias done
everything to avoid it, and vainly
sought to discover Russia’s motives
in her aggressive campaign. The
Porte has shown a desire for improve
ment by reorganizing the judicial
system and devising reforms M’ithout
distinction of race or religion, accord
ing to the Constitution, M’hich lias
everywhere been M’ell received. Par
tial reform is of no avail. The adop
tion of improvements in one part of
the empire only M’ould be a premium
to the communities to revolt. Any
doubt as to tlie execution of these re
forms should disappear before the
solemn declarations the Porte now
makes. The war simply retards such
reforms, and is disastrous to the coun
try generally, destroying agricultural
interests, killing industry and ruin
ing financial reorganizations. In
dependent of these arrangements
for reform, wliat reason can there be
for continuing the M ar? Russia lias
declared she is not animated by a
spirit of conquest. Military honor
on both sides must be abundantly
satisfied. AVhat object can there
be in prolonging a contest, ruinous to
both countries, and the moment has
arrived for thb belligerent powers to
accept peace M’ithout affecting their
dignity. Europe might now usefully
interpose her good offices since the
Porte is ready to come to terms. The
country is not at the end of its re
sources, and still prepared to fight in
in its own defense. It is ready,more
over, to sacrifice all for tlie inde
pendence and integrity of the Father-
land, but the Porte is desirous to stop
farther effusion of blood, and there
fore appeals to the feelings of justice
which must animate the great PoM’ers,
hoping they M ill receive these over
tures favorably.
RUSSIANS NOT TO ADVANCE FROM
PLEVNA.
London, Dec. 1-5.—The Plevna cor
respondent of the Times telegraphs
he believes the Russians will not
advance immediately, hut will await
effects. After the fall of that place
the heavy guns which were already
on the Sofia road between Plevna and
the river Vid, have been hauled back,
M’hich M’ould have been a M’aste of
labor if a speedy advance on the Bal-
gans was intended.
OSMAN’S REPORT TO THE PORTE.
Bucharest, Dec. 15. — Osman
Pasha has sent a short telegram to
the Porte, stating he had not recieved
reinforcements nor provisions, but,
nevertheless, resisted as long as pos
sible. Finally he made an attempt
to force a passage’through the Rus
sian lines of investment in which the
Turkish troops, despite their valor
Mere unsuccessful, and he himself
taken prisoner.
THE METCHKA AFFAIR.
London, December 15.—The Times'
correspondent, with Grand Duke
A 7 ladmir, shoM’s the Metchka affair
M’as confined to skirmishes and cav
alry,M'ith some field artillery practice.
He" thinks the Turks may have lost
a thousand men altogether, as they
were much exposed, hut the Russian
loss is insignificant. The Russian
force on the field was three brigades.
The Turks M ere driven across the
river Lorn. Tlieir entrenchments on
the west hank are now in possession
of the Russians.

SERVIA GROM'S BELIGERENT.
Semlin, December 15. — Prince
Milan’s proclamation, which M’as
issued at Belgrade yesterday, recounts
the Turkish atrocities and violations
of faith since the treaty of peace made
last February, and concludes as fol
lows :
“Let us move forward along side
tlie victorious banner of the Czar,
liberate with the Christian faith in
God, the protector of the right, and
success is sure. Given in the name
of our country’s welfare, Servia’s
independence and her heroic people.

TURKS BURN ELENA.

GUSH AnoUT OSMAN PASHA.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
London, December 15.—The Daily
News' correspondent at Plevna tele
graphs the following concerning Os
man Pasha’s reception by the Rus
sians: The Grand Duke Nicholas
rode up to Osman’s carriage. For
some seconds the tM'o chiefs gazed
into each other’s faces without the
utterance of a word. Then the Grand
Duke stretched out his hand and
shook the hand of Osman Pasha
heartily, saying: I compliment you
on your defence of Plevna. It is one
of the most splendid military feats in
history.
Osman smiled sadly, rose painfully
to his feet in spite of" his wound and
said something which I could not
hear, and then reseated himself.
The Russian officers all cried,
“Bravo!” bravo!” repeatedly, and
all saluted respectfully.
There M’as not one among them
who did not gaze on the horrors of
Plevna M'ithout the greatest admira
tion and sympathy.
Prince Charles of Rounnmia, who
had arrived, rode up and repeated
unwittingly almost every word of the
Grand Duke, and likewise shook
hands M ith Osman, who again rose
and boM'ed this time in grim silence.
He wore a loose blue cloak with no
apparent mark on it to designate his
rank, and a red fez. He is a large,
strongly built man. The lower part
of his face is covered M’ith a short
black beard M’ithout a streak of gray,
and he has a large Roman nose and
and black eyes. “It is a grand face,”
exclaimed Col. Gaillard, the French
military attaehee. “I M’as almost
afraid of seeing him lest my expecta
tions should be disappointed, but he
more than fullfils my ideal.”
“It is the face of a great military
chieftain,” said young Skobeloff, “1
am glad to have seen him. Osman
Gazhi he is, and Osman, tile victo
rious, he will remain in spite of his
surrender.”
