WAMHHWOK, July 6.—Taulbee. of Ken tucky, called up the report from the com mittee on invalid pension* upon the veto message of the president on the bill grant ing a pension to Carter W. Tiller. He dis avowed any purpose to criticise the presi dent in the exercise of his constitutional right, or of the raising of any war on his methods or style in the veto of pension bills. He then proceeded to state the facts in the case to Bhow that the president was acting under a misapprehension when he he based his views on the ground that the claimant was not dependent on his son and on whose account the pen sion is claimed for a support. He also quot ed from affidavits to show that while it was true the son was borne on the rolls as a de serter, he was at the time that charge was made against him confined as a prisoner in Andersonville prison. He admitted that the president had acted honestly upon the facts before him, but sinee the veto addi tional facts had come to light showing young Tiller’s hospital records at Ander sonville. Warner, of Missouri, inquired whether those additional records had not been ac cessible to the president. Taulbee replied that the records were accessible to anybody who would take the trouble to go to the war department and search over the musty prison records of the confederacy, but the president had acted on the written statement of the ad jutant-general that there was no such rec ord found in his office. Subsequent, to the veto the record was found, but the veto could not be withdrawn. Beach, of New York, suggested that it would not be proper for the house to over ride the veto on the strength of facts which the president did not nave before him at the time he withheld his approval from the bill. The proper thing to do was to introduce a new bill. Matson moved that further consideration of the matter be postponed until Friday next, and for a few moments there was much confusion in the hall, Matson and Willis vainly endeavoring testate why they desired a postponement and the republi cans demanding immediate action. The i motion to postpone was agreed to—yeas 117, nays 113. The morning hour having been dispensed with, the house went into committee of tlie whole (Hammond in the chair' on the J general deficiency ap Dropriation bill. The end of the bill having been reached. | the committee., in accordance with pre- ' vious arrangements, reverted to the para graphs relative to the state department- Cannon offered an amendment appro priating *57,<B0 to meet the deficiencies in the salaries of ministers and charge d affairs. Agreed to. On motion of Belmont, the appropria- ! tion to supply deficiences in the contin gent expenses of consulates for the year 188ft, was increased from #22,000 to £40,000, and for the years 1881 and 1885 fro ill #1-1,920 to (#37,145. On .motion of BeUuont amendments were adopted appropriating various small sums to meet special deficiencies In the consular service. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the house. The first vote was taken on the amendment for the pay tin ri, of the Old Colony and Pacific Mail steam ship companies for the transportation of marines in 1885. It was agreed to—yeas 117, mays 93. Pending further action the house at 6:10 adjourned. the congressional committee in each case and the special report* prepared for his in formation by the penem. bureau which are very voluiuinlous am. complete. The result of his investigation is twenty bills vetoed and one hundred and twenty ap proved and signed, one having been re called.

Chicago, July 8.—The Illinois Humane Society threatens to interfere with the hur dle Taoee and steeple chases which are be ing given at Washington park. “Frequent complaint* which have come to us In re gard to cruelty to racing hor***," said the president to-day, “seem* to warrant our Interference under the etdte law* for the prevention of cruelty to animals. This treatment of horses at Washington park seems to be on the increase instead of the decrease. In keeping with public senti ment I am firmly of the opinion that this specieB of racing must be stopped. 1 have already given instruction to two of our officers to attend the coming exhibi tion of this character, and where the facts will justify it, arrest one or more of the parties concerned and their vigorous pros ecution will surely follow.” SECRETARY MANNING.

Washington, July 6.—Secretary Man ning, accompanied by his wife and*daugh ter, his private secretary, Mr. Brennan, and Mr. Miller, commissioner of internal revenue, arrived in this city on th-3 late train last night from Hot Sprirg , Va. The secretary stood the long carriage drive of twenty miles over the mountains and the subsequent railroad trip without fa tigue or inconvenience. The train bearing the secretary and his party was boarded near Culpeper by United States Treasurer Jordan, who brought with him the latest department news and a basket of choice fiowers for the secretary. The train was about an hour behind time in arriving. The president, postmaster-general and Mrs. | Vilas, assistant secretary and Mrs. Fair- child, Private Secretary Lamont and a l irumber of officials of the treasury depart- 1 ment were awaiting its arrival and boarded the secretary’s car. Quite a reception fol- | lowed, the secretary shaking hands with i and receiving the congratulations of the visitors fcvY about ten minutes, after which | he retired with the president to one of the staterooms, where the two had 'a long talk.

Washington, July 4.—The Washington Capital, a mugwump Sunday paper pub lished hero and owned and run by a re publican, presumes to be tne official organ of the president, and the court journal, as it were, of the white house. Hon. W. E. Smith, the late assistant ecretary of the treas ury, stated to your correspondent that Lc had resigned his position because he could not afford to work for f-RJU) per ann ul, when he could get JlO.Ott) ay...: from a railroad company, and have lean labor to perform and decreased responsi bility.

Tne resignation of Mr. Smith was re ceived with delight by mugwump papers like the Capital, and they are now engaged in circulating the story that the president removed Mr. Smith from his position be cause he dared to give places to a few democrats. In this connection, the Capi tal to-day has the following: ‘‘Among treasury officials the belief is universal that Assistant Secretary Smith’s resigna tion was hastened by the expressed disap proval of the president with his methods in the department. The appointments and removals in the department were un reservedly in Mr, Smith’s hands since Mr. Manning’s retirement. When Mr. Fair- child was appealed to by the friends of those dismissed, he absolutely re fused even to hear complaints or talk about restorations.

Washington, July 6.— Private dis patches were received in this city to-night, announcing the death at Mt. Pleasant, %n, of Col. George B. Corkhill, ex- itrict attorney of tliis district. Col. Cork- j served in tbe union army through the late, war, and at the close of the rebellion was made district attorney for one of the judicial districts of Iowa. Subsequently, President Hayes appointed him United States district attorney for the District of Columbia, which position he held until near the close of President Ar thur's term, and since that time has been engaged in the practice of law in this city. He became widely known as the successful f jfosecutor of the assassin Uuiteau. He eft here last Thursday for Iowa in good health, and the news of his death caused a great shock to his numerous lriends in til’s city. He was one of the best known ami most popular men in the district. NEAT DETECTIVE WORK. TVe (Tiltf of a Guiic nf Counterfeit!' In CiiuiiiIii. Ottawa, Ont., July 6.—One of the neat est and most successful pieces of detective won: done for years was performed Friday by Detective Daniel O’Leary, inspector of the Dominion police. On Friday night he went to Otterville, and getting iniorma- tiou there regarding counterfeiters per suaded one of the gang to accompany him to Brighton, on the representation that there were certain persons there who wished to engage in the business. Ad ditional particulars were obtained from this man, to the effect that the bogus monev was made by John Rogers, who had left Otterville for another part of the country.

They then by intimidation prevented others from taking tlieir places. Sheriff Worthcr was called on by the planters f'orlprote.t n and went down early this morning. About 250 colored men assi inbied from neighbor ing places and began making threats that nobody should go to work or be arrested. The sheriff' attempted to arrest Gill, the ring leader,who resisted and was shot by a deputv in both arms. During the after noon a posse went down from Little Rock heavily armed, when the sheriff succeeded in dispersing the mob and averted what threatened t>n prove a general uprising. Gill, who was brought to jail, says he is a knight of labor, and it is understood that ■all the strikers are knights, there being three assemblies in that portion of the j country. ' St. Loris, July 6.—A special to the Post- Dispatcli from Little Rock, Ark., states that the excitement occasioned by the riots yesterday on the Tate plantation contin ues unabated. Neither the sheriff nor any of the members of his posse have returned, and it is feared more trouble has occurred. The latest report from the plantation states that a furious mob of one hundred negroes still surround a beseiged cabin. Tn lie Iti-iiiini il In t'liiirii'*lnii. London, July H.—British Consul E. G.

There is very little doubt ! that I the president called a halt . in the business, that Mr. Smith was dis- . pleased, and that the resignation occurred ' June 29, and was accepted on the spot. I The feeling in the department in conse quence of Smith’s retirement is one of I great relief, and the assertion that 1 Sir. Hugh S.

Some one has made up a list of the republicans in the treasury de- j part ment outside of t he classified service who still hold on to their places. There ! are six heads of bureaus, a deputy corumis- j sioner of customs, four deputy auditors, a | deputy commissioner of internal revenue, : twenty-eight chiefs of divisions, eight assis- I tant chiefs and about one hundred and I seventy-three messengers, laborers, copy- j ists, paper counters, etc., all of whom are I unprotected by the civil service law. .So that, notwithstanding the activity of Mr. Smith and Mr. Higgins, the inimlx-r inter- ; ested in letting things remain as they are ; is pretty large.” | REPUBLICANS KESTCIRED. ! Yes, the number interested in fitting things remain as they are is pretty large, ■ and that same number manifested the same interest when they voted for Blaine and Lo gan. The same paper says: “During the : last week, since Mr. Smith’s resignation. I several restorations have been ordered: among them are Mr. T. L. Lamb and Miss I Lucy Chandler, of the sixth auditor’s office, who were dismissed on June 25: Mr. E. Coombs, of the same office, who was dis missed, to take effect July 1. has hud the ; time extended to October 1. 1 Of course, T. L. Lamb and E. Coombs are both republicans and were dismissed for offensive partisanship. The question now is, did the president ask for the resig nation of \Vm. E.

Philadelphia, July 6.—About seven o’clock this evening, as a train on the Pennsylvania railroad was approaching Englcside, two men were lighting on ilio track, regardless of tlieir danger.

Rogers also said that he [ had been accompanied by Wm. Duncan, Thomas Brown, and Captain Clendenning to Rochester, where they had . gone on a , schooner about a month ago, and procured paper, ink. and brushes to make | the bogus bills; that they had cruised around the lake, for some time, and passed I between #900 and *1000 in bogus hills. The paper procured in Rochester, Rogers said, i was equal to any bank note paper that 1 could tie got. He also stated that he made the bogus bills by photographing the orig inal ones, and that he had the process “down so fine” that he could produce a | bill which it was almost impossible to de- | tect, having worked at the business in Aus tria. 1-le could also change the numbers on bills so that it would be difficult, to de- :»-ct the alteration. Brown and Duncan had the notes lit had made. He intended to go to Ottawa, get a photographer’s gal lery, and start the same business there. Mr. Johnson agreed with Mr. Rogers to ' go into partnership with him. The latter promised to supply the detective with bo gus bills representing a large amount of money. His pocket book was secured. It , was found to contain counterfeit twenty- dollar bills on the national Mohawk Valley ; bunk, of Mohaivk, N. Y. Duncan was ar- , rested and made a full confession. He had ! a set of plates for making flfty-dollar bills of the lower Canada bank, a set for twen ty-dollar United States bills, three sets for ! ten-dollar bilb of the Merchants’ | bank and a set of Dominion of Canada one-dollar bills. He said he had destroyed the plates about ten days previous. In a bedroom occupied by the I accused found paints and brushes used in making the bogus notes. In the house was found an agreement dated “Lachine, Feb ruary, 1S86,” and signed by a number of persons pledging themselves by a solemn oath not to divulge the seerets of the coun- , terfeiting gang “under pain of death.” Other arrests are expected in the course of , a few hours.
