see whether or not the popular vote had
been cast for the Bepublioan Electors.
I stated to two Bepnblican members of
tbe Canvassiog Board that all we wanted
was an honest decision. I never made
promise to McLin or any other mem
ber, nor did I suggest any possible reward
or recognition In case Governor Hayes
should be finally declared elected; and
so far as McLin is concerned, I never
u>v him alone one moment in my life be

vina.
Beports that tbe Sultan’s mind is af
fected are untrue, but no doubt he suf
fers from nervous agitation, and is a
prey to causeless apprehension.

terial changes and the banishment cf
public functionaries, in consequence of

commissioners authorize the employment

upon illic.t distiders congregated at Ed-
wardsville. This will test the sincerity of

There ia no indication of it here, either
among railroad employes or other me
chanics or laboring men, and cone are
apprehended by the employers of labor.

ever, have been alert, and fully prepared
to meet any emergency. Besides having
tho loofil militia ready for immediate ac
tion, arrangements have been made with
the authorities in Washington for prompt
assistance.
Blackburn, England, June 17.—Of
seventy-firs meetings of operatives held

Jeeves from Eagle Pass, says the Mexican
Government, having discovered General
MacKenzie on their soil with American
troops, has ordered Colonel Nuncio

Keuzie.

marines, in the presence of the Board of

Washington, June 7.—At a caucus of
the Democratic members of the House
thie evening less than fifty members were
present.
Acklin of Louisiana requested that he
be sustained in a motion to take up and
dispose of his resolution recently intre-
duced in the House providing for an in
vestigation Into the conduct of the tim
ber agents appointed by the Secretary of
the Interior to visit Louisiana. The cau
cus sustained the motion, after which
Ellis, of Louisiana, gave notice that he
would call up for action during the night
session the South Carolina contested
election case of Richardson against Rai
ney, whereupon the caucns adjourned.
The House again took up tbe tobaoco
bill, with Mr. Carlisle of Kentucky aB
Speaker pro tem.
Mr. White, of Pennsylvania, who had
called for the reading of the engrossed
bill, withdrew that call, not wishing, he
said, to stand as an obstacle to business,
although he believed it unwise legisla
tion, and would, if he had a spare earth
quake, use it to defeat the measure.
Mr. Saylor suggested that the earth
quake would come next fall. The bill
then passed—yeas 130, nays 108. Its
principal provision is to reduce the tobac
co tax to sixteen cents per pound, ahd it
is to go into operation the first of Sep
tember, if the Senate shall pass and the
President approve it.

contested election case.
In consequence of the failare to obtain
a two-thirds vote in the House for the
motion to pass a bill under suspension of
the rules, to pay the Fisheries award cf
the Halifax oemmiseion, the Senate will
insert aii amendment to effect that pur
pose in the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill. This can be concurred in by a
simple majority of the House. There
is considerable speculation regarding
future action. The Potter Committee
think they will, on and after Wednesday,
held continuous sessions daily until the
testimony of Mrs. Jenks and Pitkin and
Kellogg has been taken. After that a
sub-committee will be appointed to visit
New Orleans, and a recess of the full
committee will occur.
The South Carolina case of Corbin vs.
Butler, in tbs Senate, was postponed nn
til next session.
Fall Eivxb, Mass., Jane 17.—Tha
Borden City Mills have been placed in
the hands « Walter C. Durfee, treasurer
of the Wampanoag Mills, and Joseph
Healy, president of the Osborn Mills, as
trustees, with a view to starting the
mills, for the purpose of reliering their
present difficulties.
Boston, Jnne 17.—A fire broke out
last evening in one of the main buildings
of the extensive pork slaughtering and
curing establishment of Chas. H. North
& Co., at Somerville. All except one
building were destroyed. The loss is
§700,000 to $800,000; insurance §160,-
000. The building* constitute a contin
uous chain of structures, six in number,
and the twe main ones of brick, aix sto
ries high, covering four acres. Extensive
oellais extended under the whole range,
in which- a vast amount of meat w&s
stored in various stages of curing. Be
sides the buildings and machinery and
meat in the sellar*, 1,200 newly slaugh
tered hogs, 1,300 lire hogs, 1,000 tierces,
1,000 cases and 800 barrels lard, a large
amount ef bacon and 1,500 barrels of glue
were destroyed. Also two frame tene
ment bon*** were burnt and ten others
slightly damaged. Five hundred men
are thrown out of employment.
Bsblin, Jure 17.—The Congtesi meets
at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The Bulgar
ian question will be likely to come up
for discussion first, then the Montenegrin
and Servian questions—Prince Bismarck
having, it is said, submitted a plan for
taking up the respective chapters of the
treaty of San Stefano in the order of
their importance, and of the amount ef
opposition they are likely to meet.
The questions which threaten the que-
cess of the Congress are believed to be
the cession of Antivari to Montenegro ;
the position of Roumelia in relation to
Turkey, ana of the administrative and
governmental organization of Roumelia.
Austria and Italy will oppose the ces
sion of Antivari. Russia alone, or per
haps Russia and Germany will uphold it;
but this question may be compromised,
or Russia may yield. England, Franoe,
Austria, Turkey, and perhaps Italy, will
uphold anti-Russian arrangements for
the organization of Roumelia.
On these questions it is thought Eng
land and Austria can not yield, and that
Russia can, and must.
Her friends allege she will not, bnt
sueh assertions are probably intended to
mislead and influence the forces whioh are
contesting Bnssia’s claims. The faet is the
war party was banished from the capital
when Ignatieff went to Bieff, at least this
is the belief of well qualified observers of
Russian pnblio opinions. Bessarabia will
be yielded to tbe personal wishes of the
Czar, and Eonmanla will aoeept the Do
bra dj a in exchange. Territorial conoes-
sions in Armenia will not at least meet
opposition from England. The question
of the war indemnity will be settled by
appointment of a commission to colleot
the Turkish revenues and pay over a cer
tain proportion to Russia annually, or to
capitalize snoh proportion by foreign
loan, and pay the Russian claim in bulk.
One notable feature in all these specula
tions is that they omit to take any ac
count of tho possible opposition from tha
Turks themselves. This omission is only
justifiable on the asanmption that ail the
modifications of the treaty of San Stefa
no, whioh the powers will demand, are to
bo in favor of Turkey, whioh is not by
any means certain. Ooratheodori Pasha
is making preparations for a vigorous
representation of Tnrkish interests before
the oongress, bnt his position is very un
pleasant.
London, June 17.—Jamoa Thompson &
Son, corn millers, of Wakefield, have
failed. Liabilities. $450,000.
■Washington, June 17.—The June re
turns to the Department of Agrionlture
indicate an Inorease of three per cent, in
tbe area planted in cotton. The per
centage, as compared with the acreage of
1877, are Virginia, 100; North Carolina,
101; South Carolina, 103; Georgia, 102;
Florida, 100; Alabama, 104; Mississippi,
100; Louisiana, 101; Texas, 106; Arkansas
and Tennessee, 78.
The condition of the crops iB better
than in Jnne of laBt year. The figures
indicating it are the same as in 1877 in
Virginia, Georgia and Louisians, and
higher in all tho other States. Thus:
Virginia, 88; North Carotins, 87; Sonth
Carolina, 09; Georgia, 101; Florida, 98;
Alabama, 101; Mississippi, Louisiana and
Arkansas 98; Tennessee, 97; Texas, 104;
the general average being 99.
The stand is generally good. In limit
ed districts it is imperfect ow':ng to plant'
iug seed of impaired vitality.
The season is ten days earlier than last
year, the crop fuither advanced than
usual in some districts, and in a few lo
calities three to four weeks ahead of last
year.
Tbe low condition in North Carolina is
the result of wet weather andoool nights.
In South Carolina and Georgia planting
was unusually early with seasonable
weather until the first week in May, when
comparative drouth is reported.
In several districts of Georgia pros-
oects are better than for many years. In
Mississippi, Lsnisiana and Arkansas,
there have been frequent rains in some
districts—in some cases injuring and
heavy. In Texas favorable weather and
few inseots are reported.

Washington, June 17.—In the House
to-day the tobacco bill progressed up to
the ordering of its engrossment and a
third reading. An opponent of the bill
demanded a reading of the engrossed
bill, and, as it would require two hours
to engross it, the House proceeded, in
the meantime, to other business.
The conference report on the legisla
tive bill was agreed to.
No conference report has yet been
made on the post routs bill, which con
tains the Brasilian subsidy clause. Tha
committee has failed to agree, and will
report a disagreement.
At 5 o’clcck the House took a recess
nntil 8, and a Democratic caucns was
called.
In the Senate Mr. Gordon desired the
passage of several bills to remove politi
cal disabilities, some of whioh had not
yet been reported from the Judiciary
Committee; but be said there was no ob
jection to them. The Senate, however,
refused to consider snch bills as are yet
pending before the Jndioiary Committee.
Tho Senate is making rapid progress
with the sundry civil appropriation bill,
and the indications are for a very late if
not an all-night session.
E. S. Hammond was confirmed as Dis
trict Jndge for the Western District of
Tennessee.
In the consideration of tho sundry civil
appropriation bill an amendment for
paying the expenses of the Louisiana
commission occasioned a lively discus
sion.
Senator Spencer was astonished that
the committee should recommend snch
an appropriation—the object of the com
mission having been to turn out the legal
Government of Louisiana.
The chairman of the committee ex
plained that the appropriation was re
commended by the President and Secre-
retiry of the Treasury, and the commit
tee reported it for tbe purpose of bring
ing forth such tight as might be thrown
upon tho subject.
Mr. Conkling wanted to know if any
law existed for this payment. He wonld
vote no. This commission, when sent to
Louisiana, was told to disregard the only
question which was addressed to the
President. It was told to proceed upon
other grounds, and in other ways. This
so-called commission was without war
rant of law, and its doinga wore in viola
tion of law. If any body borrowed
from a national bank, er any other
bank, money to embark in this enter
prise, it . was not the business
of the Senate to insert a prevision in an
appropriation bill to do whioh could here
after be olaimedto legalize It. He hoped
the brevity with whioh he had spoken
wonld not lead any one to imply that he
questoned the undoubted right of the
President to decide whether troops shonld
be employed la Louisiana or not, bnt he
did say to the Senate that Bending the
five tonrists or visitors to Lonisiana that
which they did was in his judgment not
only behind the taw, but beside the’lUw
and in viohtton of the law.

Hina’ TITLE.
By a vote q! eight to one, to-wit: Har
ris. Hartridge, Steager, McMahon and
Culbertson, Democrats, and Conger, Frye
and Lapham, Radicals, in the affirmative,
and Knott,Democrat, in the negative, the
House Judiciary Committee yesterday
agreed to report that Mr. Hayes holds
four aces, and can neither he bluffed nor
beaten out of the stakes. This is the
substance of their report, the phraseology
being somewhat to the effect that the
Forty-fonrth Congress was the duly au
thorized body to count the votes and de
clare the result of the Presidential elec
tion, and that no subsequent Congress
has power to revise this action, or oonfer
power on the Supreme Court, or any
other tribnnal, to re-open the question.
That is certainly explicit, and covers the
whole ground. The committeo de
cided to meet to-night to agree, if
possible, on a preamble, to accompany
tbe resolution. When they do that, and
so report to the Honse, perhaps we shall
read “Gnmmy” Blair’s obituary and hear
no more about •'Mexican!zing” the coun
try. The troubled Bonis of Mocsrr. Key
and Stephens will find sweet balm in this
assnranoe, and resume their wonted tran
quillity. For alt of which let ns be duly
and deeply grateful in advanoe. As to
the developments before the Potter oom»
mittee doubtless yon get yonr fill every
morning. I hope yoar readers find
them mnoh more entertaining than
I do, especially Bines that charming
ly unsophisticated person, Anderson,
left the stand. After the rioh
flavor of his narrative the rest is tasteless.
In foot the interest seems to be rather dy
ing ont in the matter ainee Anderson
told his atoxy. Stanley Matthews’ refusal
to tell his has rather revived the excite
ment bnt it takes something-real ap
petizing to keep this town on the stretch
for many hoars. Of course Matthews
fears the meroiless cross-examination
of MaoMahon, and Beast Bauer’s evil
eyes and poisoned tongue. Everybody
understands that he knows enough to
damn himself and possibly Mr. Hayes,
and that he fears to run the risk of being
made to tell it. It realty looks slnoe his
refosal, to appear that Mr. Hayes will
soaroeiy dare to send in his name for
the vacancy on the Supreme bench when
JnBtioe S wayne retires next year.
Apropos of Matthews, It ia narrated that
one very grave Senator greatly astound
ed a group yesterday by insisting that
there oonld be no impropriety in the Sen
ate Investigating Committee sitting on
Sunday, because there was “the very
highest sanction for working on Snnday
to get an ass ont of the pit.”
AS LAST.
Aotnally and truly the Washington
monument ia at last to be finished. Some
superstitions people tout the end of the
world or something else equally dreadful
Is at hand. Both Houses have agreed on
a bill, and the work will be promptly oom
meaoed. The shaft will be 483 feet high,
and will form the monument. Around its
base there will be a donble terrace 200
feet square and 12 feet high. At a dis
tance of 30 feet from the base of the
shaft, and on its four aides, will be baa
reliefs 30 feet long and 14 high repre
senting memorable events in Washing
ton's life. Ob eaoh Bide of the steps to
the terr-oe _ there will be pedestals for
statnes of distinguished revolutionary
characters. Of the 120 tablets whioh
have been contributed by different
States and societies forty are already
to their plsoes in the monument; and
eighty in the workahop, which will be
rat to place as fast as the work goes on.
it is also intended and expected that
others will be contributed for this pur
pose. X don’t think the veriest*‘econo
mist” that ever lived will grudge one
dollar of, the considerable sum all this
will cost. It is a national disgrace that
the work has not been finished long ago.
COLD AS A CLAM.
So a man of my acquaintance who was
present expressed it last night after his
return from the navy yard where he had
been to witness the launching of the
sloop of war “Nipsic.” He referred to
tbe demeanor of the immense crowd in
attendance when Mr. Hayes made his ap
pearance. There was sot even an at
tempt at a cheer, nor the feebleat mani-
festation of applause. At a funeral his
reception conld not have been more ut
terly and significantly cheerless. The
truth must be told, and it is that Mr,
Hayes has no bold on the popular heart
of either side. He excites no enthusiasm
even among the bread and butter brig
ade, and if they don’t enthuse on the
iroper occasion the case moat be hope-

Bnt then Grant was always the friend of

HOW IT IS WOEXIMO.
The natural logic o! a hasty adjourn
ment is being beautifully demonstrated
everyday, now. in the Honse. The ap*
propriation bills are going through just
about as the Radicals want them. It ap
pears that some Democrats are voting
with the Radicals, so as to rush through
business, and thus be able to hurry home
and look after their distriot*, and the lit
tle matter of renomination. The spec
tacle of a statesman letting the jobbers
help themselves ont of the treasury bo
that he can rush home before some other
statesman sets up the primaries agaicsb
him is almost sublime. It is, without
doubt, the crowning spectacle of a re
publican form of government, as it were.

searched into, ‘'though the revelation

be seen, was almost identical with the
now famous assertion of Senator Cong-
ling, published to the World at April 17,
1878, ttiht when tha whole truth about
the doings in Louisiana came to be
known, it wonld “sinfe the President and
the whole Administration in infamy.”
Three days before this publication
his home organ, on the 28th of Decem
ber, 1877, Senator Conkling" announced
through the same ohannel that General
Benjamin F. Butler was aim fall of form
idable knowledge abont “the Lonisiana
dioker.” Why hBS Senator UonUing
withheld to this hour the details of hia ap
palling information ? Why at thievery
moment, when the whole oonntry is watch
ing and waiting for-the troth, does Sen
ator Conkling content himself with glid

the Capitol, and with pushing before tbe
committee, there to be subjected to the
Bow street skill of his associate to

home organ, the Utica Republican, yester
day exultingly indulged in glee over
the straits to which it hopes to see the
Democr&tioparty reduoed ‘‘if tbe Potter in
vestigation don’t pan out better P*
The letter to the World, of Friday,
concludes aa follows:
A confidential organ of the senior Sena
tor from New York said the other day
that the Democratic managers of the
Lonisiana inquiry were prepared to pay
any price for witnesses. That is unnec
essary. Let them send for Mr. Conkling,
and if he can prove one-half of what
he has professed to “know,” the ease
will be conclusive. There has been noth
ing confidential abont his professions of
knowledge. I remember that on the
night when the Townsend interview was
rehearsed to the presence of five gentle
men, the proprietor of the Republican, (a
very ignorant and pompons man,) erosaed
the room, and standing in front of me,
with uplifted finger, said, solemnly and
Bonorcusly: “Mr. Mines, what de you
think of these things? What do
you think of snch a President aa*
Hayes? X have beard these things a hun
dred times—but what do yon think of
them?" It was not very complimentary
to the Senator, but I am inoSiaed to think
that his attacks on tha President in con
nection with the Lonisiana business are
fully as numerous aa indioated, and cer
tainly have been virulent and bitter in tha
extreme. Mr. Conkling never seemed to
have the slightest objection to “Mexioan-
ize” Mr. Hayes oaf of office.
If words ever mean anything I look to
see tha Conkling clique poshing the elec
toral investigation, at least by all fair
means, and surely they should be ready
to testify to all they “Mow” concern
ing alleged frauds, no matter whom it
may oonsign te infamy.”
John F. Knma .
Utioa, June 11,1878.
Senator Conkling is certainly in a very
awkward position in relation to this inves
tigation.
Congress' and tbe Investigation.
It Is probable, though sot certain, that
Congress will adjourn sine die at 4 p. m.
to-day. The Potter committee adjourned
their sessions to Wednesday; when Mr*.
Jenks, of New Orleans, a very unwilling
witness, who is supposed to know the
whereabouts of the original Sherman
letter, which Sherman doe* net remem
ber particularly, will be examined. Sher
man testified about Anderton’e copy of
that letter as follows:
“loan only say this, that I believe,
upon my responublity and the oath that
I have taken, that I never wrete such a
letter. I have no recollection ef ever
writing suoh a letter. If this letter was
written, it must have been, if I am not
mistaken about the dates, oa the day
when the returning officers flast convened
to open tbe returns. I think it'was on
the 20th. At that time I knew but little
about the transactions. The papers had
not been opened. Ido notbelieve.I ever
wrote that letter. At the same time there
are things in this Utter that I weald have
written to these or any other men who
were engaged in the performance of what
I believed to be their duty, if I had been
naked; bnt I do not believe I wrote that
letter.”
Some of tbe papers are damorjpg far
the examination of Senator Conkling. If
correctly reported in the Utica interview,
he is ia possession of facta which will
consign the whole administration to infa
my. The public and tbe newspapers want
these facta. Bntler says he wants the
bottom facta in the whole case.
Pebsonal.—Rev. T. G. Pond, xeetor of
the Albany Epieoopal church, has been
appointed by the Governor, one of tho
“Board of visitors to attend the examina
tion of the Senior class of the Univexai*
of Georgia on tbe 3rd of July.” Mr.
Pond graduated with distinction from
the University in* 1845, and was after

He is a ripe scholar, and his experience
