Washinstos, April 22 —Without ac
tion on the Wallace resolution, tbe Senate
resumed consideration of tbe bill. Mr.
Garland Addressed the Senate. He quo
ted the English law and commentaries
thereon, showlDg the strict subordination
to civil authority m which the military
forced *re htid in Great Britain. He
deprecated the exhibitions of sectional
feeling, and did not believe that the
country ctnld be prosperous so long m

South ia used at eaol- rr ring Presiden
tial election ns an i \ .rumentality of

Mr. Davis, of Illinois, followed, in favor
of i oe pending bill. Ia the oourse of his
speech' he said no man loved Mr. Lincoln
better or honored his memery more than
I do, nor hud nay one greater opportuni
ties to learn the constitution of Hs
mind and character, and his habits of
thought. He waa large-hearted, wiser
than thos6 sesoc'ated with him, fall of
sympathy for struggling humanity, with
out malic--, with charity for erring men,
loving hts whole oouotry with a deep de
votion, and intensely anxious to save it.
B li“VlDg, as I do, that he was raised up
by Providence for tbe great crisis of tbe
war of the rebellion, I have tqaal belief,
bad he lived, we wonld have been spared
much of the strife of these latter days,
and that we wool! bo on the high road
to prosperity. Such * man, taking all
forms of oppression, and deeply imbued
with the principle that induced the men
of 1776 to resist the stamp .tax, wonld
never havo willingly entrusted power to
any one, unless war was flagrant, to send
troops to oversee an election.

Washington, April 22.—The Pres
ident, in making announcement of the
death of Major General Dtx, which oc
curred la,r night ia New York,
commands co the people of the United
States the great public service and patri
otic record of hia military service. Ap
propriate honors will be paid his memory
under direction of the War and Treasury
Departments, and it is recommended
that his fellow-citizens participate In a
general tbkea of respect to his worth
as a private citizen and emi
nent public officer. Tbe Adjutant Gen
eral to-day isaned an order manifesting
the great respect of the army for the

Tho Louisiana Senators and Represen
tatives are in daily receipt of letters from
various sections ot tho country, asking in
formation concerning the funded debt of
tbst State, especially as to many para
graphs m the newspapers saying it is the
intention of the Ccnstitntional Convention
now in session at Now Orleans to repudi
ate the debt. Every member of the Loui
siana delegation now in Washington dis
owns tbe idea of the States repudiating its
bonded debt, but they say the rato of In
terest may be decreased to five por cant.
t>a bon is known as Louisiana consols, at
which rates they claim they will be as
good as State bonde. They hold that
the opposition to tbe payments of bonds
comes from a class which pay no taxes,
and not from those who have regard for
tbo fntnre welfare of the State, and will
have to bear its bnrdens directly. They
eay if Louisiana or any Southern State
expects capital to find its way there it
muet meet its obligations honestly and
honorably .and when the matter is properly
presented to a constitutional convention
there will be no doubt about its action.
The Cabinet to-day discussed the Gov
ernment’s interest m Alaska and adja
cent waters. Tho general sentiment waB
that the development of the conntry’e
resources should be eneouragtd and that
tbe seal and other far fisheries should be-
protected where needed, and the Govern
ment’s revenue therefrom closely watch
ed. Tha expedition which it has been
decided to send to Alaska w-ts talked over
end the belief expressed that the results of
the expedition would be very satisfac-
tory.
London, April 22.—A St. Petersburg
correspondent of tbe Cologne Gazette ex
plains tbe state ot things preceding the
publication of the imperial ukase. He
says the clandestinely oirculst-d organ of
tbe revolutionists, Zand and Liberty, de
manded the abolition of tne tbird section
of tbe imperial chancellory, and the dis
missal of the court camarilla surrounding
tha Czsr. It pnhlisheu A list of two
hundred names, declaring that the revo
lutionists would shoot, stab and murder
until their demands were satisfied, and
the camarilla swept from the taco of the
earth. The correspondent estimates that
tha secret society numbers 19.000 fully
initiated working members, besides thou
sands who have taken the simple oath of
loyalty. The total value of the property
of the society is estimated at two million
roubles.

In the House, the legislative bill being
resumed, Robeson addressed the commit-
tee. It had been stated, he said, on the
Repnbliean aids of tbe House that they
would vote for the repeal of these laws,
provided the repeal was presented in an
Independent section. That declaration
had with or vritbont authority been per
verted to mean that they were willing to
vote tor the amendment, if it ware pre
sented as a separate proposition. That
waa not only a different proposition, bnt
exactly an opposite position, because
this amendment aid nothing more than
repeal an exception to a re3trioing
law and tbe repealing 'cf an excep
tion to a restricting law so far from
repealing the law itself actually
eula.-ged and increased its scope. He
thought it proper to make that remark
so that the position en the Republican
side might not be mis understood. He
then made s lengthy argument in defense
oi the Federal eleetien law* end in op
position to the question of State rights,
saying in the course, ot hie remarks: The
government ot the United States was a
government sovereign Mid supreme, ex-
dueive in it* powers wherever those
powars acted. It was n government with
power to act directly upon their prop-
^Alr. Finley, of Ohio, followed ia favor
of the bill.
In the Senate Mr. WWiams spoke in
favor of tbe bit', eaptoisly of Ibe seet'on
forbidding the use of Ibe army nt the
polls. Alluding to the presence of Coo-
federate eaidtam ip Coeg^ss, Be mid h»
wished tbe people of tho North had been
animated by tbe seme wise polio; as their
Southern brethren, end had sent their
gallant soldiers to be their representa
tive*, because if questions growing out of
tbe war bad been laft for eolation to ibe
biave man who bad foogbc in the war,
tbe return of prosperity and the approach
of reconciliation would have been hast
ened.
Jones, of Florida, followed in support
of ihe bill. Toe South having been re
stored to its place m the Ubion its people
were anxtoas to oo-operate with the
other sections of the country in restoring
complete peace and prosperity every
where. Its representatives being on
terms of eqoality'with the representatives
ot the other States, they have, from
time to time, manifested their interest in
the affairs of the nation, add after a long
night of estrangement, they have come
into the light of eDjoymont or rights
conferred by tbe conatitmion. RelerriDg
to the use of the army at tbe polls Jones
said he had seen soldiers marched and
conntermarched over hie little State,and,
he etated as a fact, that a company of
troops was marched from Fort Barranoas
to Moviavam '77 to attend an election
After the election he saw an offloer in his
own town remain with the State officers
until the returns from the voting pre
cincts were eonvassea. There was uo
neeeesity for troops at tho polls; there
was no indication whatever of trouble and
none was apprehended. And when
there was so mnch interest everywhere
conoerning the eleotoral vote cf Florida,
troops were present, to sustain the vil-
liany of the Returning Board, and which
defrauded the people of their President.
Mr. Jones spoke ot the changed con
dition of the South under Drmocratiu
rule; that there was now more thrift, the
publio credit had been restored and there
was moresaterpnae than under the domi
nation of the Rsbabdoahs ; all tbepeo
pie had been stimulated in improving
their condition, and they had awakened
to a new-bore seal for publio liberty and
a determination to preaenre it; that the
people were now satisfied with their State
governments.
Blaine gavenbtioe that he wonld renew
his amendment to the 6 h section. He
then read from tha testimony taken be
fore the Teller committee in South Caro
lina, that numbers of white men oame
around the polls firing guns and fright
ening colored men away.
Mr. Butler, of-Soath-Carolina, asked
Mr. Blaine if it worsen ot tree that within
tbe last three dK^litflf acquittal had
been ordered by the presiding judge
Charleston county, in a case de
pending an just snoh evidence as that
just read.
Mr. Biaine said he believed there had
been a dismissal .upon a flaw in the in-
diotment, bat Batter insisted that it was
on tbe evidence.
Mr. Blaine deolared that the eleotions
In Sontb Carolina had lssen mere traves
ties on eleotions. He also characterized
unfavorably the elections in Louisians.
Mr. Blaine asserted that there has
never been a free elwction in fire South
ern States he could name since the
Demoeratie party got into power. There
was no more a free election in Somh
Carolina for this Congress than there
would be in a mob of roughs who should
capture the polls in the loqer districts
of New York.
Mr. Butler asked if thesa eleotion
laws were not in the statutes book whan
these travesties were carried oa. Mr.
Blaine admitted that they were, but said
the supervisors and marshals had beta
mobbed and the Federal autuority defied.
He based his statement on the testimony
already referred to before the com mittee.
Mr. Butler denounced the te-iitiony as

Louisiana. They were based upon the
very testimony now referred tc - . June*
wore obtained under the test oatb; the
Uaited States distrist attorney conducted
toe case, using the report of the Teller
Commute as a guide in questioning wit
neaBes, and the accused were acquitted,
Showing that the testimony was worth'
lass.
Blaine then read testimony to the
effect that the Republicans were not fair
ly represented among the Commissioners
of Elections appointed under .State jaw
in South Carolina by Governor Hampton,
and that tbo persons appointed as Re
publicans were really Democrats in dis
guise.
Mr. Butler said be personally know
ono of the Republican Commissioners in
Charleston coamy, and asked if Blaine
would deny that Col. Montgomery was a
Republican. Montgomery, he said, was
for two years or more presiding officer of
the Republican State Senate.
Biamo said he didn’t know anything
about Mr. Montgomery, but would give
way to tbs Ssnuor from Colorado, who
did.
Thereupon Teller read from tho testi
mony before his oommittee, showing that
whita Montgomery had once been a Re
publican he bad ceaBed to cot with that
party, and that the Board of Commission
ers of which ho was one had passed a res
olution that no Repnbliean manager of
the election should ba appointed
Butler BF.id ho could not answer for the
potitioal character of raon proclaiming to
be Rrpublioans.
Blaine then enlarged on tha concentra
tion of polling places in South Carolina,
where it was sometimes necessary for vo
ters to travel twenty or thirty miles to
vote. He said tbe testimony showed
systematic and willful fraud sgainst the
right cf Buffrege.
In tbe oourse of his remarks Blaine to;k
oooBsion to declare that Senator Davis,
who spoke yesterday, had no traditions!
right to speak for Mr. Lincoln, and com
mented nefavorabiy upon the Senatorial
work cf Judge Davis.
Washington, April 23.—A memorial
signed by the pastors of tbe Methodist
congregational and Episcopal Churches
in Yankton, Dakota, was presented to
the Senate to-day, in behalf of the Ponca
Indians, who reoently made an attempt
to escape from the Indian Territory and
return to their homes in Dakota. The
memorial sets forth that the climate of
the Indian Territory is deadly to North
ern Indians like the Poncas; that one-
fonrthof their number hare already died;
that they atilt own their reservation in
Dakota; that they hare always been
peaceable and friendly, and that they
were moved against their wishes and un
der protest from all their white neighbors.
The memorial prays that they be allowed
to return to their former home in Dakota,
br at least a commission be sent to in ves-
tigatsjtheir nnfertunate caso.
Washington, April 23.—April returns
to the Department of Agriculture show
that the average of winter wheat is about
twelve per cent greater than last year.
This increase is due mostly to the trans
fer of spring sowings to fall sowings in
the WeBt and Northwest. Unless spring
sowings increase beyond the present ex
pectation there will be a reduced aggie
gate of wheat average in 1879. Wheat
in ground, taken ao a whole, is only two
per cent below the average crop; in some
sections it was unfavorably affected by
the tall drought, and iu others by the ab
sence of snow during the extreme cold.
With average growing conditions it will
make s very large crop of winter wheat.
Riohxokd, April 23.—Tha bearing of
the evidence in the second trial of John
E. Poindexter for killing C. C. Curtis was
concluded to-day at 2 p. m., when argu
ment was begun and continued until 9
to-night, at which time th3 court ad
journed till to-morrow morning. Two
more speeches are to be made, tho last
on the part of the defense and cloeiog ar
gument of the prosecution. The ease
will probably be given to the jary about
9 p. m., to morrow.
Nxw Oblnans, April 23.-—The Consti
