that requires us to appear in the character
of apologist*. So promptly and cheerfully
have you responded to our request, and in
numbers so far beyond onr anticipations,

tempt at this time the publication of tho

abled to erect suoh a pile as shall rightly
honor tho glorious name of Garfield. May
the 30th of May, lWff, be memorable as
the day on which a great people united to
perpetuate tho memory of the soldior
President, who died at the post of duty,
where he had been etaliontnl at thoir oom-
mand. H C. Conuin,

Army, Corresponding Secretary.
WAsniNocoN,May In the Senate, Mr.
Dayard reported from the fiuanco commit
tee a modification of the measure recently
reported by him as a substitute for the
Uouso bonded spirits bill. He said the
amended bill now repotted contained mod
ifications which had Ik an prepared in con
junction with the Trsoaury Department re
lating to the bond* to be given for the ex
tended warehousing period, and providing
warehousing regulations as t° «pirita made
fiom grapes, applet and peaches. Upon
Mr. Bayard's suggestion, the measure wae
ordered priuted as a anbstitnta for the
House bill on the tfibjeot. He added that
he would probably call it up early next
week. An order was made for an adjourn
ment from to-day uutil Monday.
Tho Banate bill to reimburse tho Creek
orphan fnnd was farther considered, bat
finally* weut over without action upon the
expiration of the morning hour. The Ban
ate bill to provide for the removal of ob-
struetions to a free navigation of tha navi
gable waters of Ilia United States was
pa**ad, and the Senate then resumed con
sideration of Urn Japanaaa indemnity fund
bill. Bavaral amendments wore ottered.
Without action on the bill or amend
ments, the Senate, at 4:4U. adjourned till
Monday.
Mr. Calkin*, of Indiana, cfiled op the
oootested election case of Mackey vs. Dib-
blo. against which Mr. Blackburn, of Kec-
tncky, raised the question of consideration.
Dilatory motions were submitted by
Maasr*. Convene, of Ohio, Carli»le,of Ken
tucky, and Randall, of Pennsylvania, and
the Uooso then proceeded to vote on' the
question of adjourning till Tuesday next.
The vote resulted yen* 2, nay* 13S—no quo
rum, and a eall oftbe Uou*e was ordered.
After a number of dilatory motions the
monotony of tha proonadings was broken
In upon by Mr. Moorj, of Tennessee, <who,
rising to a parliamentary inquiry, said that
aa it was one of importance h» had reduced
it to writing, and woo'd ask that it be read
at the clerk's desk. To this Messrs. Ran
dall and Kenna objected, and Mr. Moore
S roeceded to read it himself, Mr. Randall
lifting that be should only present the
point of hi* inquiry.
"I respectfully inquire,” began Mr.
Moore, “whether the minority of this
House, most of whom were lately in rebel
lion against the government”—
He we* interrupted with shouts of
'order” from the Democratic side, and tha
remainder of his iuqoiry wm drowned in
the uproar. It was, however, lu effect,
whether suoh a minority, to which the un
exampled generosity of the government
had accorded every privilege of citizenship,
had a right to block t'e wheels of lsgisla-
— men of tbs Democratic party
method* which
investigate.
the gentleman from Pennsylvania was in
order.
Randal!(resuming his seat)—“I cm quite
aware of that.”
March -“1 was making a parliamentary
inquiry that I think was in order."
The Speaker—"The chair think* that the
gcut'omnu was not in order in preventing
that inquiry." ,
Marsh—"I now rirv to a parliamentary
inquiry and address the chair. The gen
tleman from Tennb*«r f"An ol«l rebel,"
iuterpoDtad Mr. Cox of Hew York.] pro-
poun led a parliamentary inquiry, snd be
fore the Speaker wa* perm ,«.u to anawer
the ex-Speaker of tho Uooto n'aumed the
right to ar^swer, and the question I. pro
pose t»»hc chair is whether he was in or
der—whether be is authorized, in place of
tho chair, to answer n parliamentary in
quiry. I thought l was in order when I
jnsde it before/’
Tha Speaker—" The chair thinks that if
the gentleman hod confined himself to the
inquiry he would have boon in order; hot
he proceeded to address his remarks to the
House and to the gentleman frrm Penn
sylvania, and for that reason (being re
sponded to in the eauo manner) tho chair
decided that neither was in order."
Marsh—" I only did so after I wa* in
terrupted by the gentleman from Penn
sylvania."
Randall—"One word—”
Calkins (good naturedly)—"A soft an
swer turneth away wrath; a grievous one
stirreth up to anger."
Miller of Pennsylvania—"That is not
all. Wo want to give the people over there
something a good deal hotter than that."
Mr. MUlera remark* were lost in the
confusion which his ent.y into tha discus
sion gave ri»o to, and in the ooutinooaa
rapping of the Speaker's gavel. When he
had resumed his seat the Speaker said that
he allowed members to indulge in some
merriment, whenever it did not destroy the
dignity of Ihe House, bat members mast
not violate tho rnlee willfully and bring
tbo House into disgrace. The chair felt
bound to state that, without any reference
to any individual. [Applause on the Demo
cratic side.J After some further debate the
m*t*er went over and several roll calls fol
lowed upon dilatory motion*. At 3:50 Mr.
Blackburn rose and slated that he desired
to submit a proposition. It was after con
ference with gentlemen of prominenoo on
the other si *o that ho bad been requested
by gontlemen on his sido to snbmit the
proposition, which, even if it should not it
self He accepted, would at least answer the
purpose of bringing the two sides together
la an understanding which should be satis
factory to both. The best interests cf
legisiafcm .required an adjustment
of tho landing question, and ho wa* sure
that no gentleman on the other side wonld
refure to give Ihe Democratic side tho
crodit of having inaugurated a movement
that looked to tho uuhiuging of the dead
lock. He then offered a resolution pro
viding for n special committee of five mem
bers to inquire into the authenticity and
integrity of nil affidavits, return* aud evi
dence of whatever character produced in
tho case of Mnokoy vs. O’Connor, and to
inquire into all destructions, loss or muti
lation of the original votes of th* same, or
any transcript, of suoh notes, aud wh at
where and by whom snch Alterations, etc.,
woro made or caused to be made. The
committee is given authority to visit such
pieces and compel the production of such
persons and pai«r* ns may b* necossary to
carry out the purposes of their appoint
ment, And to sit daring the so*»ions of the
House.
Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, said that while
ha had no possible feeling in this matter,
yet for the dignity and honor of the com
mit too on elections he would oppose any
proposition looking to any thing ttat would
refleot on the judgment of that oommitteo.
He ouuld not therefore accept the proposi
tion. but be desired to ask the consent of
tho House that for a fow moments some of
tho Republicans should be allowed to con
fer together nnd eoe if any counter propo
sition might be submitted that would lead
to tho ui<hinging of th* desdlook. If any
gent eman on the Repabiioan side was
afraid in auy way that anything would be
done by him (Calkins) that wonld rofieot
on the Uepnbl leans in any way, he would
not ask for anv further conference.
Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, said that the
pending reeolntion was not intendod to
imply the slightest imputation upon the
committee on elections.
Representstiv# Belford, of Colorado, rose
to a point of order, and remarked that he
did not wish to be understood ah favoring
the acceptance of the proposition, and pro
ot-odod to rvprimaad the minority for its
action in tha pending oase, whereupon the
Speaker called him to onlor, informing
him at tho same time that unless he took
his scat th* eargeant at-arms would be
called upon to do his duty. Mr. BelforJ.
in response, said that ha would taka his
seat at ths command of the Speaker, but
di«in»d to repel any intimation that hewn*
proceeding in violation of any laws of
tho Honse. A stormy scene ensued on tha
Republican sido, nod many members dis
approved tha acceptance of the resolution,
or of any proposition looking to a compro
mise. Scores of member* were talking at
once, and tho Streaker’s gavel wm in con
stant use. Finally, after fifteen roinn'ea of
ounfusion, tb* House, at 4:1ft, ndjoarned,
and the Republic an* went into caucus.
now IXJMO IS TUX DEADLOCK TO OuNTOHT* <
The jUpnblioen canons com mitten hav
ing reached no conolosion at tha meeting
which was held last night, tha question
of "how long is the desdlook to continue
was hi nrd on all side* of the House of Rep*
rmmtative* to-day.
The committee on rule* held a aocret ses
sion this morning, and while the members
are disposed to say nothing ns to what was
considered, it ua* bscn learned !•»»* *ta
question und-jr dUctusion was in regard to
the existing deadlock, members of both
parties taking active part therein.
A conference of leading Democratic
members wa* held subsequent to the ad
journment of the committee on rules, at
which Representatives Randall, Kenna.
Carlisle, lllatkburu, Springer and others
wore present. At this otnfutenoe the
whole subject wm discussed, par
ticular attention being given
to the question as to how far the party
could discreetly proceed with th* introduc
tion of dilatory moiioos in order to pro
vi ut the consideration of ths Mackey vs.
Dibble contested election ease. It was
unanimously agreed that Hie minority
would be justified in routinmog its course
in deferring it indefinitely; that it wm in
justice to endeavor to fore# action upon
the case in dispute; that the only desire of
the minority was tha* “he ease should be
properly investigated, and nnleas that
coo Id boobtainod the responsibility rented
alone with the majority.
Hbortly after 3 o'clock the conference
committee agreed upon a resolution pro
posing that a special committal of five
members bo appointed by the chair to in
quire into the authenticity and validity of
tho affidavits submitted in tha contested
oase of Mackey vs. O’Connor, Representa
tive Blackburn was directed by the con
ference como.itU-3 to submit the same to
tbe lion sc, and ask that U be received by
tta majority in the same spirit of fairness
with which it is Intended by member* of
tho minority.
BkrCNUCAM CALCTS.
Tho caucus cf tta Republican members
wm held m the hall of the House of Bepre-
senta'ive*. There was an exceptionally
Urge attendance. Previous to the caucus
a number of Republicans were disposed to
doubt the expediency of the policy which
the perty had adopted, and several inti
mated that they were rot in favor of con
tinuing the exuting etama—in shirt, tha
the time had come for n compromise. Af

Washington, May 27.—In tho Honse, im
mediately upon the reading of the journal,
Mr. Rood, of Maine, rose to make a privi
leged report from the committee on rules,
pending whieh Mr. Kenna, of West Vir-
uinta, moved that the Uoum take a recess,
but the olerk proceeded to roe l the report,
whereupon Mr. Kenna rose to the point of
order that his motion must first be submit
ted. The Speaker overruled the point of
order, and Mr. Kenna appealed from the
decision. The chair refused to entertain
the appeal and directed the clerk to read.
The clerk then proeeede.1 to read the re
port of the committee on rules an follows,
which Is proceed as an amendment to
paragraph 80 of rule 10:

of the case for at least one hour.”
Mr. Reed said ho would ca'i np ihe report

dilatory motions wero submitted, pending
which Mr. Calkins Mked and obtaiaoa
unanimous consent to submit the proposi

Mr. Randall said the proposition was not

by cries for the regular order from tho

“By his letter Mr. Stephens Places the coa

In this extract from your editorial,
Messrs. KJitors, you Imply that Hod. Em
ory Speer, in tbe telegram he sent to me at
Atlanta on tta 15th inst., misrepresent*
Mr. Stephens and used hi* name without

Allow me to proeent you with a copy of

Now, Mew*. Editorr, I submit to your

gram injustice to Mr. Speer, in tbe editorial
I have quoted; and in all yonr comment*
upon bis Action, when that telegram had
keen submitted to Mr. Steptane before it
was rout to it eat tbe Markham House, and
not one word of disapproval from Mr.

denial. I tad never written a line to Mr.
Speer touching Mr. Sta;>hena’ candidacy,
and had no expectation of receivioi such
4 u.legran from him; bnt Mr. Speer will
be ample to explain to you why ta sent it
at that particular juncture, and why ta
submitted it to Mr. Stephana for approval.
Mr. Speer baa never failed to defend him

More than this, Mr. Stephens wa* kind
enough to write me a letter on the lnth
of this month In reply to one ta received
from me on the 1 lib, and in his letter to
roc these words appear, literally as they
wero written by this distinguished Ocor-
^“Al’low me to thank xou for U (my let
ter), and to eay ttat I think you managed
matters at ALanta last Monday admirably,
looking, as I conceived, to tha beat inter-

you ttat Ur. Stephen* did not place the
“coelitioo colonel* In a simply ridiculous

that Mr. Speer did not propose to make
" Mr. Stephen* dance to hta ftebta p*p4»g; n

I was etanding in tbe floor talking to Mr.

Htancis. Ho told me ho was in the alley

him—the gentlemen iu the window mme
up nnd struck him, and the gentleman in
the rear of him stabbed him with a knife.
When he came in I unbuttoned hta veet and
turned up his shirt, and his cotrails were
protruding. That wm all he told me
about it.
I Croat Examined —I did not see him
stabbed; I was in the honse; !*e remained
thero until he went out: he was running ou
and talking with me. 1 have not been ex
amined in thi* case before; I wa* not at
the coroner’s inquest; I went l>eforo the
grand jury. The Keunesaw restaurant sets
on tho alley on Fourth street; there wa* a
plank wall on tho other sido of tb* alley; I
think tbo Kenue*aw building seta back
about 70 or 80 feet, thore is another build
ing further down the alley; it ie a ten-pin
alley, there is a gambling nonie on tbe (eft
hand side, in front of the ten-pin alley;
there i* a gato thero; that place is fre
quented as mnch, or perhepe more, then
any alley in Ma*>n; i* is a great plane of
roeort at fim*e hour* cf tho night; there
wore not many rreaent nt the time; there

Her in th* year than that; it Is much
frequented at that time of the year;
I did not go around lhn alloy that night;
kaow rothing or who did the cutting. Ex
amined the wound alter ta came in. Tried
to put his entrails book myself before I
rent for a doctor. I could not put them
baek. Can’t say whether any of them were
cut or not. I nm not a doctor. The win
dows fronting on Fourth street were plain
glass. Th* window in the bar at that time
was broken. Had been stained glass.
When I said the window ia the restaurant
wm so far from the alley (iodioating afioot
throe or four feet), I meant the window in
Fonrth streot to Black Johnson's bar 1 sup
pose is something over one bundrtd yards.
The alloy was not lit np with lamp* at
that time as it is now. Thera
was only tha headlight at tbe month
of the alley on the ooraer. There wm bo
light nearer than where the other alloy in
tersects that one. I don’t kno * wbothor it
was raining or not at that time. I don’t
think it was. I can’t eay whefirer the moon
wa* shining or not.

oonrt adjourned until this morning.
Satontay morning th* trial of Alphonse
Price and Charles Bennett wm resumed,
Jndgo Lawson presiding.
As it was generally known that tho trial
would be concluded yesterday, the oonrt-
room wm pretty well crowded, aud aa the
trial progressed tho crowd became greater
and a number of people went into the
gallery.
The prisoners wore a look of anxiety on
their face#. They bed been kept in good
spirits by their numerous friend*, who
were constantly dropping them words of
cheer. All during tbo trial they listened
attentively to all the proceeding*.
In the morniug Solicitor Gcnoral H- rde
_ian delivered his argument for the State.
It wm pronounced Mr. Uardemsu’e beet
effort. It wa* evident ho had struggled
with the pain that belonged to his bounden
duty, but duty had won the mMtery, and
he went over the testimony aud the law
calm'y and carefally.
He wa* followed by Jndgo Willis Haw
kins in a powerful argument for tbe de
fense. Judge ilawkin< had not been idle.
He had closely and carefally atadUd the
point* of law, and bnilt np an argument
that wm a tower of strength. Jndge Law-
son delivered his charge clearly and con
cisely, pointed oat the law and then in
structed tta jnry in their findings.
At twenty ininntea cast twelve o'clock
the jury retired. The first vote taken by
them wa* ten for acquittal. It is **.id that
the two voted nogatively simply for delay.
The next vote vm cnantanou*. At twenty-
five minute* past one they filed iuto the
oourt-room. At thta time there were not
many spectators present, owing to the
fact that it wa* thought the verdict would
not bo reached nu il after dinner.
All eyes wero turned on the jury, n lien
the verdict of uot guilty wa* read, there
waa a ronud of applaore. Tta friends and
relative* of the two young meu gathered
around, and many ware the hand-shaking*.
Mr. Price went with his brother, Mr. Daisy
Price, to a restaurant for dinner, nnd thon
to his home. Mr. Bennett went with Mr.
J. H. Bremer to hta borne to greet his wife
and child. The ereno at the ooncloeion of
