bombarding a budget.
GLADSTONE AND CHURCHILL TURN
THEIR GUNS ON GOSCHEN.
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.

SCHNAEBELES* CONSPIRACY.
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

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

MURDER AT McRAE.
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.

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.

ing the bill to carry into effect article 1!)

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.
