Wabuixoton, Jannary22.—In tho House, owing to a mistake iu a publication in tbo Becoid this morning of the vote upon the adoption of the conference report on tho inlet State commerce bill, numerous cor- rectiona of the Itecord were made. Mr. Hammond, from the committee on judiciary, reported back adversely the reso lution calling on the Attorney-Gineral for information as to the legal authority nnder which the directors of the Union Pacific Bailroad Company consolidated that com pany with the Kansas Pacific Bailroad Com pany and the Denver Pacific Bailroad Com pany, and reorganized the aame nnder the name of the UniohfPaclfic ltv.ilway Ccm pany, and nnder which this last named i*uui|*auy iesucu stock ouu tra Laid on the table. , The report accompanying tbo resolution states that the information desired will bo obtained if the 1 joint resolution which passed the Honse a few days ago for the in vestigation of the accounts of Pacific rail roads shall become a law, and that for sev enty years, from Wirt to Garland, it has been uniformly held thftt tho Attorney- General cannot legally give opinions when called upon by Congress or its committee*, Mr Wilson, of West Virginia, from tho eoiamitteo on appropriations, reported tho District of Columbia appropriations bill, and it was referred to the committee of the whole. It makes a total appropriation of $3,873,B28, while the estimates submitted by the commissioners aggregated $1,208,- 494. The appropriation for the current year was $3,078,203. The principal items of increase are iu the appropriatiocs for the improvements of streets and public schools. No appropriation b made for the extension of snburban streets and avennes. The Heuato amendments were conenrred in to the bill for tbo forfeiture of the Now Orleans, Baton Bongo and Vicksburg laud grant, and to confirm settlero’ titlea to cer tain ol thtBo lande. The vote was 151 to SI, Mr. Wallace, of Louisiana, offered a reso lution, which was adopted, reciting that tho President and benate ha/e agreed to the terms of a treaty between the United States and the government of the Hawaiian Islands, and that tbo treaty contains pro visions for the admission ot certain articles free of duty, and instructing the committee on the judiciary to inquire into those facts and report to the House whether a treaty which involves the rate ot duty to bo im- losed on any article cau bo valid and bind- ug without tho concurrence of tho House ol Bepreaentstives.

The opponents of the bill refrained from voting and left the Bouse without a quorum, and iu this con dition it remained until lire morning hoar expired, and the hill went over withont ac tion.

Y., in which the principal actors were Thomas Bnd John Treatham, and concerning which brief telegrams have already been published: Two young outlaws who bad cheated the gallows, rested in two pine coffins in the basement ot an undertaker's plaoe in Whito Plains yesterday morning, and n little further down the etreet in the upper xtory ot the shop of George H. Mead, tuo village baker, lay William £ Mead, bla sou, 23 years old, the victim of a wanton murder. The quiet villagers, after a fitful sleep, had arisen with the sun only to find that thd triple tragedy, a* reoordad in yeater- dayVTiinea, had not been a horrible night mare, and they immediately aet to work to find out what bad really taken place. The details, as far ar discovered, made a start ling instance of the lengths to which tho ethics of the dime novel can carry two worthless young ruffians, who had pro faned to “die with their boots on” rather than pay the legal penalty of their crime. The young men, as remembered by George HndBun, the night wulchmuu he Whito Plains station, bad arrived on tho south bound 8 o'clock evening train. He noticed them moro particularly when they again appeared at tho station, on tho ar rival of tlis 8:13 train, and s.-ked If it went to New Yotlt. They were told that tho next train for tbo city left thero at 10:15, and thereupon they went away. A few minutes later two figeres with slouched hata were noticed in Bailroad avenue. They accosted some mu/1 ciara whom they met aud ascer tained that they wero going to a surprise party at Chief of Polico dee’s honse. boon after tbo younger of the two walked into A. J. Mead's shoe store aud asked for a fow pennies. Mrs. Mood replied that sho had nona to givo, and the boy with a pleasant “Never mind" walked out. bubsequent events show that tho two then ern-t-ed tho street to the bakery of George Q. Mead. It was 9:13 o'clock, and little George Mend, 13 years old, was just pulling down the curtains os the two ap peared at the door, nod thn older drow a revolver, and, aiming it at him, slid gruffly, "bt»nd still and don't speak,” The little fellow, with a bhriek, rushed into tho back room, loaving tho till on the loft unprotect ed, and shunted to his brother Will, **ho was reading a book. He had been running an express lice betwocn Harlem and tho lowul part of this city, through funds pro vided by his father, upon nls marriage, about two years ago, bnt it bad proved un successful,and about a week sgojtto returned homo to talk, about a partnership with hi* father. £ William was a stout young man, and ha ruahol to the front of the shop and solzad tho two intruder* by the lapels of their overcoats and started to push them ovor the threshold. Just then tuo bigger fellow rat his 41-calibre revolver behind Mead's lack and fired. The bullet pierced hia heart and he felt back with one shriek of 'Mnrder!” Tho ruffians tired one more shot, which did not take effect, and then the two yonthfnl desperadoes stepped ont and started on a leisurely trot, as if running ior o train, toward the Tarrytown road. The shots had been heard, and the little boy’s voioe rang ont, “Murder! My brother k killed!" Deputy Sheriff bhirmer and a score of citizens, who were almost near enough to see the tragedy, answered the I alarm and spread It with shouts of “There they go!” until fully 200 citizens started io pursuit, not knowing exactly where they were going. Chatterton Hill looms np at the foot of Bailroad avenue, and the Yonkers road led over it, faintly discernible bv means of threo feeble street lamps, hardly visible in the mist of the overoast aky. Up the hill went the fugitives on their steady jog, bnt the road looked nnnsed, and they stopped in at the Bnckhont House to ask for direc tions. They wero told that the Tarrytown road lay below, and they turned to retrace their stepa. A mnffled roar reached them from the distanoe. Patties of enraged men were searching fruitlessly In all directions, and thoughts of lynching were filling their minds, *s the horror the cold blooded crime filled them. The fugitives hung in the ehadow of the trees and a big stone walk Jr,at then a sleigh dashed put them Up the hill. It contained Chief Bee, Frank J. Cox, and Mr. Newell, a druggist, who had provided the conveyance. Chief Ste caught tight of the two shadows, sod with a shout he and Cox jnmped ont and took the other side of tbe road. Chief Bee's ob ject, as ue had uuiy Cub pUtci, was to drive the men down to the pursuer* at ths foot of th* hilL He did this by shouting to a protended erowd at tbe top of the bill: "Come on, boya. Why don't you back me up?" Just then the two figures passed under one oi the feeble gaslight*, and be taw the gl'tter of pistols. He stepped out aud com manded, “Come out there!"

Berlin, January 22.—The new German Liberals of tho second Berlin district met to-day for the purpose of decidiag on their action in the coming election for member of tbo Reichstag. Three thousand electors attended. It was resolved to support Pro- lessor Virchow against Gemrul von Moltke aa cudidate. Herr Richter, In a epoch advocating this policy, said he admitted that tho personal merits uf General von Moltko were super-eminent, hut contended that it waa not tho dnty of elector) to pro vide that tin* military interests of tho em pire should he strongly represented in tho Reichstag, but rather to elect to that body those who could and would defend the civil interests of the people to tbe end that there might be a proper equalization ot tho civil and military c’aims put forth. Tbo views of eminent civilians should be recog nized in opposition to a one-ridtd military viow. When tho Duke of Wellington, con tinued Herr Ilichter, utilized hia military glory and hia personal merits to over-ride the constitution of England. Englishmen defiantly dodorod that though he had been victorious in Spain and at Waterloo, he should not be victorious against tho petple of England. In liko manner, General yon Moltke, though he had boon victorious aver Austaia and over France, ahouid not bo peroiiuued to be vistorious against tho citi zens of Berlin. The lower House of the Lzndtsg will not present an addrtaa to Emperor Williams. Tbe Conservatives were unanimously iu favor of presenting him with on a<l. dreas, but the National Liberals re fused to co-operate. Delegates from the National partiea met yesterday for the purpoeo of organizing a central cleo- Uon committee. All the paper* publish supplements containing speeches in th. Reichstag made by Bismarck. Bi,'lister's speech baa been published in pamphlet form aud thousands of copies sold. Tho manifesto of the Free Conservatives asserts plainly that victory for th. nnmui. Uon v ill entail a European war. It "says that it tbe septernate term he accepted the development of tbe nation will be peaceful and happy. The Guelphe party in Hanover publish a manifesto declaring that tho partial called National, in agitating an immoderate in crease in the army, keep the country in per petual fear of war. The manifesto says: It U not upon great armies, but upon those who, preserving the (eith of their fathers, defend faithfully and fearlessly the rights of tbe people, that we must rely for tho basis cron which io place the well being of the nation. The Socialists met and deddod to run a candidate wherever there wm a chance to oust a Conservative, and where no Nationalists will stand. The party will •upport the Liberal candidate. As a pre lude to their manifesto, tbe Hocialist* have scattered broadcast* “New Yesr" complt- m**ut, which ia couched, aaya the Voea Ga zette, in term* more violent thin they ever hitherto attempted. Tbe Manifesto urges Soeiah->U to prosecute avigurous campaign. Tho moment when purifying tiro ot revolution will devour tbe old world, which it fi'.'.ug with • :.ue and violence i» near.
