Congress.
Washington, April 20.—In the Sen
ate Mr. Butler presented memorials of the
Charleston Board of Trade for an *ppio-
priatlon for work on the jetties of
Cliarleston liarhor, and for the enact
ment of a bankrupt law. Ilefeired.
Mr. Teller submitted a resolution that,
Wiiebkas, It has been reported that
the secretary of the Interior proposes to
take a number of children of the Chey
enne Indians, without first Laving ob
tained the consent of their parents, for
the purpose of educating them at Hamp
ton, Virginia, or Carlisle, Pennsylvania,
therefore,
lie it resolved, That the committee on
Indian a flairs be instructed to inquire
into the truth of said report, and also to
inquire whether any Indian children now
at school, at a distance from their pa
rents, were taken from them without
their consent, and report to the Senate
whether anv legislation is required to
protect the Indians in the possession of
their children.
In explanation of this resolution, Mr.
Teller sent to the clerk’s desk and had
read a letter from Chicago in the New
York Times Of last Friday, regarding the
proposed removal of Indian children. The
resolution was adopted.
In the House, under the call of States,
the followirfg were introduced and re
ferred :
By Mr. Bunnell, of Michigan, a resolu
tion calling on the secretary of the treasu
ry for information as to the number of
persons connected witli the .life-saving ser
vice who have been disabled, or who have
lost tlielr lives in rescuing lflb and proper
ty on the coast.
By Mr. Vanee, of North Carolina, to re
lieve the distillers of fruit from taxes
imposed by law.
Washington, D. C., April 26.—
the Senate, filler the presentation of
number of petitions, resumed con
sideration of the bill authorizing a re
tired list for iKm-commissionod officers of
the army. Mr. Allison offered an amend
ment aiithoriciug the President to appoint
each year ten cadets, at large, to .West
Point Academy. This led to a long dis
cussion of the right of colored men to
participate in the benefits of the West
Point Academy, and the relations of the
two rac«s when compelled to associate in
that institution. At the expiration of the
morning hour the bill and amendment
went over without action.
The Senate then resumed the consider
ation of the resolutions declaring Spoflord
entitled to the seat now occupied by Kel
logg, and was addressed at great length
by Mr. Jones, of Louisiana, who made an
elaboiate argument in support of the res
olution. He declared that the Packard
legislature was never recognized by the
people of Louisiana. The N iclioll’s legis
lature was recognized not only by the
people of Louisiana but by every depart
ment of the government, and was the
only body competent to elect a Senator.
He made a long argument, citing legal
authorities aud congressional precedents,
going over the whole history of the case,
lie charged Kellogg with the responsi
bility for most of the Louisiana troubles
for many years, and said the testimony
showed that his associates were of the
worst class of ignorant, uuscrupnlous
politicians and carpet-baggers. . The mi
nority of the privileges and election com
mittee had endeavored to inject sectional
prejudices into the case. Ho wished the
iiepublican Senators might visit Louisi
ana and see how she was' beginning to re
cover prosperity under self-government.
In the "subsequent debate, Mr. Blaine
asserted that the majority was attempting
to break a solemn agreement made when
Mr. Kellogg was seated. He read from
an editorial in the Cliarleston News and
Courier of March 21tli, containing extracts
from the Com/ressisnal Record of Novem
ber 27th, 1877, to show that the agree
ment was made to vote on Mr. Kellogg’s
case, and immediately after on Mr. But-
ler’s-*»Mr. Thurman, appealing to the
.Democrats to rely on him as to the wis
dom of that course. Mr. Blaine considered
this good Democratic authority for this
statement.
Messrs. Bayard and Bailey earnestly de
nied the existence of such an agreement,
which they said they would consider dis*
honorable to Democrats and Republicans
alike.
Mr. Butler claimed that he was seated
on the merits of his case, and there was
no agreement except that the vote should
he taken at a certain time to facilitate the
business of the Senate. He was in no way
responsible for the editorial in the News,
but saw nothing improper in its statement
of facts,
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, also denied the ex
istence of an agreement, and would vote
to expel any one proved tohave entered
into such a bargain. He' claimed that
Spoffonl had Deen refused an opportunity
to prove his case by the Republican ma
jority.
Mr. Blaine said that though the bargain
could not be proved, everybody knew it
existed.
Mr. Kellogg denied any connection with
any bargain, aud based his claim to his
seat on the fact that he had been seated
on the merits of liis case after a long dis
cussion.
In the House, the morning hour having
been dispensed witli, the House went into

London, April 27.—The Times, In its
financial article this morning, says it is

it worth repeating. If the operation could
be carried out in respect to the entire
national debt an immediate saving of be
tween three and a halt and four millions
yearly would be effected. We fear the
news is too good to be true. The money
market is not now in so favorable a posi

been some time ago.

The Kalloch. Assassination.
San Francisco, April 25.—The Call,
after a brief reference to the circumstance
of DeYoung’s murder, says: “The senti
ment of law-abiding citizens is one of re
gret that the law was not trusted to right
whatever wrong may have been commit
ted. It is high time that the public fix
some means to put a stop to these person
al assaults, which keep society in a fer
ment. We have tolerated them too long,
and the natural result is such tragedies
as we have now t® record.”
The Alta says: “The killing of De
Young was clear assassination and a dark
blot on San Francisco’s record. The dead
man was far from blameless, hut he on
whose account the crime was committed
was not irreproachable in reputation or
reticent in speech. It is a great misfor
tune for San Franciseo that any of the
parties made their home here, and the
community is weary of malignant, per
sonal abuse drawn from the secrets of pri
vate life, and of allowing a party who
adopts that mode of warfare and finds
himself beaten at it, to get even by mur
der. Indignant public opinion and the
inexorable reign of law should insist that
such offenses be no longer committed with
impunity.”
The Post publishers interviewed M.
n. DeYoung, brother of the murdered
man, who said he did dot know what was
the immediate cause of the shooting. He
thought Kalloch had no reason to think
his brother had anything to do with cir
culating the pamphlets reflecting against
Kal loch’s father. He said that he aud
his brother did not even know that they
were in circulation until shown one by
a friend.
It is thought a Mr. Skimins, editor of a
Kansas newspaper, who accuses Mayor
Kalloch of swindling him out of fourteen
hundred dollars, put them in circulation.
Youna Kalloch, on being questioned de
clined to state whether he had evidence
that DeYoung was the instigator of the
pamphlets.
There has been no excitement in the
city other than that naturally attendant
upon such a tragedy, and any attempt at
violence, as has been reported, is abso
lutely unthought cf.
San Francisco, April 25.—Young
Kalloch wa3 brought before the police
court this afternoon, his father accompa
nying him, and his eace was continued
until next Thursday. As a further indica
tions of the tenor of public opinion, it may
be noted that many of the better class of
citizens, while not expressing any sympa
thy for De Young, exhibit strong feeling
in a general way against the Kallociis—
considering their whole course in gener
al very objectionable, and expressing the
belief that if the city was rid of them, it
would assure repectahility, peace and
good order. It is rumored that the friends
of Kalloch are guarding his residence this
evening, anticipating an attempt on the
tart of Mike • De Young to assassinate
Kalloch.

Pennsylvania Democratic Conven
tion.
Harrisburg, April 28.—The Demo
cratic State convention met in the opera
house to-day. All hope of a compromise
between the contending Philadelphia, or
Wallace and Randall delegations being
at an end, matters were very lively all
morning in the hotels and committee
rooms. Great difficulty was experienced
in gaining admission-to the hall of the
convention, and a large number of special
doorkeepers were on hand.
The Randall people appeared to have
thorough control of all the entrances to
the hall; many of the visitors received
their tickets of admission before those of
the delegates were issued. So strict were
the doorkeepers, that it was impossible
for the telegraph messengers to pass in
and out, anugreat difficulty was experi
enced in reaching the telegraph office.
When Speaker Randall entered the
hall he wes greeted willi tlie most enthu
siastic cheering. He had not been elected
a delegate, hut appeared as a substitute.
Senator Wallace was also present as a
delegate.
-Congress.
Washington, April 28.—In the Sen
ate, Mr. Blaine submitted a resolution
calling on the president for copies of the
correspondence between the United
States and Great Britain, relative to the
alleged outrage upon American fisher
men at Fortune Bay. Adopted.
Bills were introduced and referred as
follows:
By Mr. Maxey, for the relief of Daniel
G. Burnett, late president of Texas.
By Mr. Morgan, to enforce the observ
ance of the constitution of the United
States in regard to the election of presi
dent and vice-president of the United
States. Referred to tho select committee
on that subject.
In the House, under the call of com
mittees, Mr. Cox, of New York, from the
committee on foreign affairs, reported a
bill for tlie appointment of a commission
to ascertain and report the basis for a re
ciprocity treaty between tho United
States and the British colonies. Placed
on the calendar.
In the Senate, Mr. Davis, of West
Virginia, presented a report of a majority
of the select committee appointed to in
vestigate the accounts of the treasury de-.
partment. Mr. Ingalls, of Kansas, pre
sented a minority report.
Mr.Davis,in some remarks upon results
of the committee’s labors, said the hooks
of the treasury department showed many,
andjgreat discrepancies, amounting in
some years to nearly one hundred mil
lion dollars. Most of them appeared in
the years betwean 1860 and 1871. In No
vember, 1870, tlie register of the treasury,
by order of the secretary, changed the
figures and amounts as previously reported
to Congress, so as to apparently
increase the public debt by ten million
dollars. In 1873 there was a similar
change of twenty millions, and in 1874 of
seventy-five millions. In 1870 the figures
of the register and the secretary agreed—
now they laigely disagree. The testimo
ny shows that three sums, amount
ing to $0,293,827 were added to the public
debt by order of the secretary, when
none of said three items appeared on the
treasury books.
A comparison of the debt statements
foi 18C9-1870 shows that the public debt,
instead of being decreased as it should
have been by the dropping of the Pacific
railroad bonded debt, was increased be
tween ninety and one hundred millions.
The erasures and alterations on the
treasury books amount to thousands, and
affect hundreds of millions of dollars.
Leaves are cut from the hooks and not
accounted foi, and warrants for millions
of dollars are missing and cannot be
found. -V
Mr. Ingalls, in behalf of a minority of
the committee, said the majority had
failed to discover a single fact that had
not been known to Congress aud the
country since 1S71. All of the discrepan
cies referred to in the majority report
have been repeatedly explained and shown,
to be corrections, the result of careful re
vision and analyses of the treasury hooks,
by competent clerks in the secretary’s
office. The alterations and erasures re
ferred to arc innocent, and were rendered
necessary by errors and omissions, inci
dent to all business transactions.
Mr. Dawes, tlie other member ofthe mi
nority, confirmed Mr. Ingall’s statements,
and said the good name and credit of the
government were being unwarrentedly
aspersed.
The Seuate then resumed consideration
Plague and Famine in Russia.
St. Petersburg, April 28.—The plague
lias appeared in the Volsk district, in the
government of Savatoff. Famine also
irevails in the Don district. The graner-
es are empty, and there is an absolute
dearth of money. There have been many
deaths from starvation in various parts of
the country.
London, April 28.—A St. Petersburg
dispatch says there is reason to believe
that the missing workman who had been
lodging in the basemen*- under the guard
room of the Winter Palace until ttadfey
of the explosion, was arrested h^Hon
Saturday. His name is ShetJM, a
nephew of tlie governor of the province of

Pennsylvania Democratic Conven
tion.
Harrisburg, April 2S.—In tlie Dem
ocratic convention, about one o’clock,
Speaker Randall had another short inter
view with Senator Walla-’--, which ended
in an agreement to compromise the dis
pute between their respective factions by
appointing a committee to whom all dif
ferences should be referred.
At 1.T0, the convention was called to
order and Mr. Cassidy announced that he
brought glad tidings to tho convention
and to all the people of the common
wealth. He said the leaders at the last
moment had agreed upon a plan to adjust
all differences in Philadelphia, in a man
ner creditable to the entire Democratic
party. He then named a committee to
which, he said, all contests would be re
ferred without debate.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Ran
dall, Wallace and others, after which the
convention took a recess until five o’clock,
at whieh time the committee of six, ap
pointed to settle all contests, will report.
The convention re-assembled at five
o’clock, but the committee of six was not
ready to report, and it therefore took
further recess until eight o’clock.
Harrisburg, April 28.—Tlie Demo
cratic convention reassembled at eight
o’clock, but the committee of six an
nounced that it would not be ready to re
port before to-morrow. The convention,
therefore, adjourned until to-morrow at
uine o’clock.
Connecticut Democratic Convention.
Hartford, April 28.—The Democrat
ic State Convention organized in this city
to-day by the election of Thomas M. Wal
ker as permanent chairman. After the
selection of delegates at large to the Cin
cinnati convention, the committee on res
olutions reported a platform favoring ad
herence to the constitution and respect for
its limitation, denouncing the election of
President Hayes as a fraud, and calling
for the nomination of a candidate at Cin
cinnati who wil> unite the party.
Hartford, April 28.—The Democratic
convention was harmonious up to this
point, when Mr. Blake, of Bridgeport, of
fered an amendment to the resolutions,
declaring that the Democratic party shouh l
not nominate a man, no matter what his
private grievances, who cannot harmonize
tlie party and bring success. This amend
ment, aimed evidently at Tilden, gave rise
to debate, and was denounced. The ma
jority will, it is understood, go with Mr.
Earnum in support of Tilden, or his can
didate.
South Carolina Republican Conven
tion.
Columbia, April 28.—The Republican
State convention met in the hall of the
House of Representatives at noon to-day.

mitted. E. W. Mackey, white, of Charles
ton, was elected temporary chairman
and Harvy Noah, white, of Richmond,

taken a recess until 2:30 p. m. The
irobabilities are that the delegation will

o’clock. Tho officers of the temporary
organization were elected to serve as, per
manent officers. One hundred aud
twenty delegates were present, forty

the colored people hustled him off the
siand, telling him that they were doiug
well enough in Alabama, and that they
wanted no Kansas in theirs. When Ra
pier endeavored to explain his recent per-
ib’-mance in Washington, they told him
that he uttered a falsehood in saying that
it took four acres of land in Alabama to
raise a bale of cotton.
