The Ex-Premier Characterizes the Main Proposals of the Bill as at Vari ance with Sound Financial Principles —The Proposed Reduction of the In come Tax at the Expense of the Sink ing Fund Declared Unwise. London, April 25. —In the House of Com mons to-day, in the Committee on the Budget, Mr. Gladstone contended that the main proposals of the budget were at variance with sound financial principles. Instead of being the humdrum budget which Mr. Goschen promised, it was one to be re membered in the future for good or for evil. If there was anything good in it the Union ists would have the credit, and upon them would rest the objections. Among the pro posals was one to change the stamp duties, which would facilitate business upon local loans. He would, in the meantime, give no unfavorable opinion. Regarding the tobacco duties it was easier to reduce a duty than to get rid of it. The manufacturer of tobacco would ceitainly be benefiteu, but the re duction would never reach the consumer. THE INCOME TAX. Regarding the income tax, the reduction of Id. per pound w ould be a peculiar boon. At the same time the proposal was against Bound financial principles, because such a reduction should arise from a rigid system of public economy, and not at the expense of the sinking fund. Serious reflection could not warrant a proceeding so opposed to the traditions of the British nation. It was the first time that a proposal of this nature had been marie, and it was made when the country was becoming richer than ever. He believed that the country was adding about €100,000,000 yearly to its savings, yet they were asked to shrink from the very moderate effort that had hitherto been marie to provide a sinking fund in pursuance of the wise policy that was supported by all financial authority. He hoped Mr. Goschen would not reply at once, hut give the House a chance of hearing his impartial judgment in the matter. GOSCHEN AGREES TO WAIT. Mr. Goschen said he would reply later if Mr. Gladstone were present. Lord Randolph Churchill praised the ‘•weighty remark” of Mr. Gladstone. Speaking as a true friend of the govern ment he must condemn the policy of making grants of local taxes. Did Mr. Goschen think that these grants were compatible with national economy. Regarding the ap propriation of the sinking fund he could arid nothing to what, had been said by Mr. Gladstone, in whose general criticism of the budget he fully concurred. He de clared that the Goschen budget had quashed ail his hopes of public economy. A judi cious budget would have reduced the mili tary expenditures without impairing the efficiency of the army. He trustod that Mr. Goschen would assent to a reconsiderat ion of his proposals, amending them on wiser finance. GOSCHEN AROUSED. ' Mr, Goschen said that the onslaughts made by Mr. Gladstone and Lord Churchill re quired a prompt reply. First, as to local loans, he promised to consider the objec tions. With reference to the tobacco duties he defended the reduction of the duty on the ground that the increase had not answered expectations. Hewnsconfldentthatin a few years the loss arising from the current years reduction would bo recovered. Mr. (dudotoue had attacked the projiosals to re rluce the income ta. and to suspend a por tion ol the shilling fund as against rccog tim.-d principles of finaii re. He could see no force in tliis charge. In taking a penny otf oi the income tax the government would benefit a class upon whom there was much pecuniary pressure. Mr. I renieu asked Mr. Goschen if he , that the reduction of the duty on toiuem would throw out of employment toxerni thousand men in London. '* l "•chen replied that he had arranged to center on that subject with delegates' from workmen. •JT iV !m I-uhbock, Liberal-Unionist, and •-■ht Hoa.

The Claims of Germany Not Denied by the French Authorities. Paris, April 35. —Commissary Gautseh, in his second letter to M. Schnacbcles offers excuses for his failure to meet M. Sehnae beles, and concludes as follows: ‘ ‘The com munication is so interesting that I am anxious to make it to you without informing the German authorities of the fact. I beg you to come alone to the rendezvous. M. Sehnaebeles is a Knight of the Legion of Honor. Ke refused a high German office in 1870 and was immediately expelled from Germany. TELEGRAMS INTERCEPTED. La France says that telegrams sent to St. Petersburg regarding the Sehnaebeles affair have been stopped en route at Berlin by order of Prussia. It is stated that Herr Von Leaden, the German Charge d’ Affaires, has informed M. Flourens. Minister of Foreign Affairs, that Prince Bismarck regretted that the Leipsic court had the arrest of Schnae beles without consulting the Chancellor for an offense concerning which Prince Bis marck received his opinion. Further papers relating to the Sehnaebeles affair have been dispatched to Berlin, in cluding fac similes of two letters from Com missary Ganich showing that Sehnaebeles was induced to cross the frontier by false pretenses. Prince Bismarck was first made cognizant of the affair through the French government. The production of Wagner's “Lohengrin,’ which was put off on account of the excite ment attending the Sehnaebeles incident, has ggain been postponed. CONVINCING PROOF AGAINST SCHNAEBELES. Berlin, April 35.—The Judge who issued the warrant for the arrest of M. Sehnaebeles says that he posses ses convincing proof that M. Sehnaebeles was the principal of a party of conspirators in league with French officers who met at the cafe Lhrhardt at Strasburg. The proprietor of the cafe and two architects, named Klein and Grebert, have already been arrested. The tone of the comments of the press on the Sehnaebeles affair, and fresh rumors in relation to the arrest, are causing alarm in Berlin. Copies of the last number of the Vie Parisicnnc have been confiscated here on account of an illustrated article ridiculing the German imperial family. THE POPE OFFERS TO MEDIATE. Rome. April 25. —The Pope to-day sent confidential notes to the French and German governments offering to act as mediator of the Sehnaebeles affair. CHARLESTON CROWDED.

Andrew Campbell Dios from a Blow Dealt by Thomas Busby. Mcßae, April 35.—0n Monday, April 18, a difficulty arose between Andrew Campbell and Thomas Busby, two white men working at J. R. Chapman & Son’s saw mill, two miles above here, in which Busby struck Campbell on the head with a large hau l stick, prostrating him and causing his death Saturday. The difficulty seems tonaveorigi nated several days ago about some trivial matter and hard feelings and several quar rcls occurred between the parties. Mr. J. R. Chapman, the proprietor of the mill, did all he could to settle the difference between them, and on the day the tragedy occurred thought that he liad succeeded in restoring peace, but was afterward told by Busby that he (Busby) intended to have revenge, and soon after stated to a negro that he would kill Campbell before 12 o’clock. A short while after this, while Campbell wa*sttting down at his post of duty near the saw* carriage, as above stated, Busby slipped up behind him and struck bun on the back of the head with a stick. The blow completely prostrated Campbell and he remained in an unconscious condi tion until Saturday, when his death oc curred at 11 o’clock. Busby went immediately and drew bis pay from the mill men and departed. He has not, been heard of since. A more cowardly and unprovoked murder has never occurred in this section. Campbell was a young man, unmarried, about ‘22 years of age, and was born and reared atiout four mi les from this place.- He has a good record and many relatives and friends around Mc- Rae. Busby is a married man and is from Greene county, near Greensboro, Ga. From all ac counts he has the name of a very des perate man. He has only been in this coun ty about three months. The people here are greatly stirred up over the brutal affair and will leave no stone unturned to bring the murderer to justice. The Governor will be furnished with all the facts in the ease and asked at once to offer a reward for Busby. Coroner W. E. Swinney impaneled a jury of inquest, and also hold a post, mortem ex amination upon the remains of Campbell, which developed the fact that the deceased’s skull had been badly fractured by the blow, and that death had resulted therefrom. The jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. OUSTING THE SETTLERS. Eight Hundred Squatteis Heavy Los ers as a Result of the Edict. Minneapolis, Minn., April 35.—A cor respondent has just returned from the Win nebago and Crow Creek reservations, ac companied by Sheriff Harris. greatest excitement exists.

THE MISSING SECTION. The morning was spent discussing the re port of the committee on the missing section of the constitution relative to the State printing, and the Senate finally adopted a substitute for both the minority und ma jori ty reports, which contained none of the oh jectlonable matter relating to false charges made by tho newspapers against State Printer Bowen. The afternoon was consumed in amend ing the bill to carry into effect article 1!) of the constitution, relating lo local option, making it illegal to sell wines and liquors in districts subject to a local option provision.

XI Perry S3 Pasco 33 After this the caucus adjourned to meet, Monday night next. NO MATERIAL CHANGE. The triangulnr Senatorial contest during the past few days has not materially changed the original state of the l ave. It iiecame evident on the second day after his name was presented to the caucus that Hon. Samuel Pasco could not break the existing deadlock, but his friends were determined, and the fight was prolonged so as to fully test the real strength of the respective can didates. The fact that Bloxham has led on uenrlv all the ballots since the presentation of Mr. Pas co’s name gives his friends renewed hope, and they are resolved to stand by him until he voluntarily withdraws from the race, and this b will not do while his supporters are so firm. THE SENATE NOT I.AZY. The Senate has acted upon a good many measures of no special importance and shows a disposition to perform a good day's work every day. To this end it holds two sessions daily, and transacts business in a methodi cal manner, each day advancing hills on the calendar nnd referring to committees for consideration matters introduced. The committees are in session when the body is not in session, and Jhe investigations with which they are clArgisi are being prose cuted with dispatch. About 150 hills liave been introduced in the bouse, and half of them indefinitely postponed. THE STATE INSTITUTIONS. The committees appointed to visit the vs riout State institutions indifferent portions of the State cannot enter upon,! his duty un til some conclusion is reached in t he Senate rial matter, as the presence of all members is necessary in so important a selection, it is thought, however, this suspense will soon lie relieved by decisive action of some kind in caucus. Much important legislation is essential to the smooth working of the new constitu tion. FOUND_DBOWNED. A Philadelphia Baker Loseß Hla Life Near Jacksonville.
