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 committee of the whole on the bill mak ing appropriations for the District of Co lumbia. The bill was amended in some important respects, reported to the House, and put on its passage, but, as no quorum voted, it went over without final action.

LiVEKPboi, April 27.—The London correspondent of the Daily Post states that the Marquis of Ripon,who was chair- mau of the high joint commission at Washington, D. C., in 1807, will succeed Lord Lyttonat Viceroy of India. London, April 27.—The Times, In its financial article this morning, says it is rumored that the Liberal government in tend to -convert consols into two and a half per cent, stock. There is just suffi cient possibility in the snggestionto make 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 tion for such conversion as it would have been some time ago.

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. 7 3 Hokenlolie-Langenburg, one cf the gor- the robes, the Duchess of Westminster.

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 Kalonga. He was placed..in the palace by the executive committee six months before the explosion. He has confessed the deed. Three other arrests of higher rank have been made. v London, April 28.—Tho race for the 2,000 guineas stake for the three year old colls aad fillies at the .Newmarket first spring meeting to-day, jvks won by. the Duke of Beaufort’s black or browu colt, Petronel.

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.

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.

The pulpits of most of the Protestant churches were filled by the ministerial brethren of the convention yesterday, and all the churches were filled both morning and evening.

An Exodus Witness at a DiscouNT. Among tho recent witnesses before the senatorial committee investigating the colored exodus, was a colored politician named Rapier, from Alabama, who gave a- gloomy view of the situation of the colored people in that State. The Montgomery Advertiser states that at a meeting at Calhoun, Lowndes .county, a few days ago, Rapier attempted to make a speech '.the interest of a Kansas exodus, hut the 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. In a bygone time in Old Virginia indus trious and pious. Uncle Jasper, and lazy, good-for-notliing Providence belonged to the same kind master, who had assigned to each of them a plot of ground to culti vate for their own benefit, and on which to raise melons and oilier truck for mar ket. One bright Sunday morning Unde Jasper was surprised by liis Baptist minis ter, who rode by his patch and found him hoeing out the weeds. Preacher (reprovingly)—“Why, Jasper, don’t you know'this is the Sabbath of the Lord; that you should do no work to day?” “Lor bress you, Mass a, I’so Tiliged fore the rain comes. £f I don’t dese weeds take evryting.” “Not’a bit of it. Trust to Providence; he’ll attend to that.” Uncle Jasper (leaning on his hoe han dle and laughing vehemently)-*" Tore God! He, he, he!—good Lor a massy! He, he, he! Prov’denee ain’t gwvne work his own patch. Too lazy! Good-for-nuf- fin! Can’t trust dat niggah!” Georgia Railroad.—We dip' the fol lowing information from the Atlanta Con stitution : The Georgia railroad will no doubt di vide about one million of dollars in bonds or certificates, free, to their stockholders in May, at the coaveulion, for money that has been spent.on improvements, and on purchase® and extensions.
