The conference report on the agricul

House had yielded to the wishes of the
Senate relating to the appropriation for the
cultivation of raw silk and experiments
regarding the extraction of sugar from

from an item relating to artesian wells.

Utah bill, as the regular order. Mr. Voor-

up the Mexican pension bill, lint the Sen

the doors reopened adjourned till Monday
next.
Yesterday’s report of the debate on the
Mexican pensions bill was erroneous
in that it repreaented Mr. Logan as oppos
ed to giving pensions to tho soldiers of
the Mexican war who afterwards fought in
the rebel army. What Mr. Logan said
mi that he was opposed to restoring to
the pension roll those of the Mex
ican soldiers who were on that
n>U prior to the rebellion and who forfeited
their pension by entering the rebel army.
The bill ss it passed the House of Repre
sentatives gave them a pension of IS per
month. Tbla provision Mr. Logan sup-
K rted. The amendment proposed by. ths
sate committee would, in Mr. Logan’s
view, have the effect, in addition to the Id
a month, of restoring them to the regular
pension roil, which would give them an
advantage over Mexican soldiers who had
not entered the rebel army.

A GOVERNMENT DEFAULTER.
Col. Burnside. Disbursing Clerk, Cots
Awny With *43,000.
Washington, May 29.—When the em
ploye* of the Post-office Department went
to tho offices of the disbursing officer this
morning to receive their month's salary,
they found the doors closed and the pay
notices removed. It was soon learned
that the post-office inspectors were ex
amining the account of J. O. T. Burnside,
superintendent of the post-office and dis
bursing clerk, and within a few hours it
was announced that a shortage of $45,000
had been discorcred. The Postmaster-
General thereupon Issued an order
removing Superintendent Burnside
from office. The following of
ficial explanation for the action was fur
nished by direction of the Postmaster-Gen
eral i A committee consisting of A. G.
Sharp, chief post-office inspector, G. W.
Wells, chief of the division of finance, and
J. T. Smith, chief of the bookkeeping di
vision of the sixth auditor's office, exam
ined the accounts of Colonel J. O. P. Burn
side, superintendent and disbursing officer
for the Post-office Department. The re
salt of the examination showed a shortage
of about $45,000. His accounts have not
been fully audited by the Treasury Depart
ment since the 30th of June, 1881, and
It is probable that misappropriations
have occuired from time to time since
that date. The Postmaster-General
dismicsed him from office and caus
ed him to be ousted and proceedings to be
instituted for embezzlement. It has been

and that he lost heavily in such ventures.’
His salary was only $2,100 per annum,
and be was said to maintain an expensive
private establishment. This might,
perhaps, have excited suspicion
but for liis statement that his wife was in
receipt of a large private income. The
amount of his bond is $90,000, and hi*
•ureties are said to be responsible. A ca
rious fact shown by the records is that
Hurnside's immediate predecessors, Ed-
ward Olmstead and Frank McCartney,
were removed for embezzlement. Burn
side's appointment was recommended by
Senators Kdmunds, Logan, Cullorn and
others, and by a number of Representa
tives. He was taken in charge to-day by
an inspector, and arraigned before
a United States commissioner this after
noon. He refuses to make any statement,
except that the money had been lost in
speculation. He made a fine record as a
soldier in the Union volunteer servico in
the late war, having been mustered out as
a lieutenant-colonel. He is now the
colonel of the National Kiilrs, a popular
military organization of the District of
Columbia. It is said that the system of
auditing the accounts of the Treasury De-
f iartmcnt permitted Burnside to carry
arge balances upon paper, without a veri
fication of the cash at short intervals.
This afternoon Colonel Burnside was
formally arrested upon a warrant charging
him with the embezzlement of $45,000, and
was brought into the police court for in
vestigation. After a short consultation
with his counsel, Jere Wilson, and the
district attorney, the latter stated that the
defendant would waive examination and
ive bail for his appearance before the
rimlnal Court, and that the government
would ask to have ball fixed at $15,000, the
amount of the defalcation. Wilson con
tended that tho ball demanded was ex
cessive. but after some argument thecourt
decided to require the amount named by
the district attorney, and said counsel
could petition the Criminal Court for an
abatement.

Atlanta, Moy 31.—Atlanta had a Bad
tragedy to-day In the attempted suicide of
Arch Orme, ticket agent at the union de
pot About 11 o'clock be rode in a back tq
Ponce de Leon Springs. Arriving there,
he 'dismissed the back and walked into tiie
woods near by and shot himself through the
head with a derringer. The ball entered
over and back of the right ear, making a
terrible hole. He then walked to a negro
cabin, ahundredyardsoff, and said he had
•hot himself, bat did not want to die in
the woods like a dog. He wrote with a
pencil and sent the following note to Alex
Thweat, his associate In the Hcket office:
"Dear Alex: I am shot through the
bead and will die. Come after me.
“Arch."
Friends went to him at once and found
him in a critical condition. He was moved
as soon as possible to the residence of his
uncle, Major Orme, on Peachtree street,
where he now lies at the point
of death. He is attended by Drs.
Ridley and Westmoreland, who are
unable, as yet, to say whether
there is any hope. They have probed for
the bail, but without success. Information
has just been received that he had been
sleeping peacefully, he is now suffering
great pain in the head.
No cause is given for the act, and Mr.
Orme will say nothing about it. Street
reports say he was short in an amount
ranging between $7,000 and $18,000, and the
auditors of the various roads have been
in the office looking through the books
Intimate friends vigorously deny these re
ports and claim that his accounts will be
found oil right, and say ths cause was
i |purely personal. Mr. Orme is the son of
N. P. Orme, a wealthy ciUzen of West
Point, ex-treasurer of the West Point
railroad, nephew of Major Orme, of At
lanta, general passenger agent of the
West Point railroad, and brother of Joe
Orme, cashier of Lowery’s Bank. He Is
about 28 years old and unmarried.
He has held the position at the union
ticket office several years, with a hand
some *aiary. He is of engaging manners,
popular, moves in the highest circles, and
has a large number of friends. The affair
It talked of everywhere and unanimously
regretted. The act was committed delib
erately, *nd it is reported tint be said yes
terday he intended to kill himself.
11:30 r. m.—The latest from Arch Orme's
condition is that It is unchanged, possibly
easier. His physicians are with him and
have decided that the ball had entered t'ue
brain. Rev. C. M. Beckwith has been
often at the bedside to-night, offering pray,
ers for the recovery of the sufferer. Re
ported shortage of Orme's accounts Is con
tradicted at this hoar.

of the club. The explosion was
most destructive on the west side of SL
James’ Square. The windows in Hie Duke

office on Pall Mall were shattered. The
bomb that damaged Sir Wynn'* honse

by a pedestrian and lodged
on a stone sill, ■ foot under the dining
room. Dynamite placed under the Nelson
monument failed to explode, owing to a
defective fuap. Had the sixteen packages
exploded, the monument must have been
completely demolished, and widespread
ruin and loss ot life would hare been
caused.
XIWSFArlE COMMKXT.
London, May 31.—The newspapers de
vote a large portion erf their space to the
explosions, and comment upon them In
their editorial columns in a vigorous
fashion. The Telegraph says: "It be
hooves the English people to reflect
whether further and sterner measures
should not be taken to put a stop to the
public peril and mischief to which they
are now exposed. Each fresh act of cru
elty and malice will strengthen the reso
lution of the English not to yield one jot
to those who arc wishing to dismember t
empire.
The Standard declares that no conces
sion can be made to outrage. The only
result it has attained so far has been fail
ure and penal servitude. The nation la
disgusted and annoyed, but not alarmed.
If Hie attempt had fully succeeded last
night, we could not have answered for the
reprisals of the London populace.”
The Titnet says the explosions have fol
lowed shortly upon the introduction of
Mr. George Trevelyan’s Irish land bill.

CONGRESS ADJOUXNED.
City or Mexico, via Galveetox, May
31.—Congress adjourned to-day after ac
complishing considerable useful legisla
tion. A New Chamberof Deputies and half
of the Senators will ba elected in June and
July, when the Presidential election oc
curs. The new Congress will meet on
December 15. One of the principal pro
moters of the universal exposition In
Mexico stated to-day that the project was
dead beyond hope of resurrection.
Free Trade and Direct Taxation.
or.q, 1 , and iletrrngrr: YaOI
leader of to-duy seems so very misleading,
from my stan Ipoint, that I ask space for
short protest. lis whale argnment rests
upon the statement of Hon. Columbu*
Upson, that free trade would require Geor
gia to pay a direct federal tax of $8.009,000,,
or $5.10 per capita, per annum.
1. Whilst there nresome(l,forone)who
who would dellglu to sea customs duliea
abolished, yet the revenue tariff Democrats
do not urge Hint, but a simple reduction of
duUea to a revenue standard. Your in
dorsement of Upton is, therefore. Irrele
vant to present issues, if otherwise sound.
2. The population of the United Himes
in 1880 was 50,000.000, anil Hint of Georgia
a litUe over 1,500,000, or one-thlrty-Uiinl of
the whole. The customs revenue, for
which free trade would suhstltnto direct
taxation, was $190,000,1)00 last year. Divi
ded by thirty-three, and it leaves for Geor-
Kia $5,757,575, or $3.71 per capita—Instead
of $8,000,000, or $5.18 per head, os by your
I Ini it l* admitted by Randall and
other protectionism that, despite the ex
travagant efforts ot Congress to deplete the
treasury, the revenues are excessive by
$00,000.000 to $100,000,000. Deduct Hie
lesser figure (justice would deduct the
ar), and tho total amount to be raised
by direct taxaUon would be $130/ooo.OUO—
Georgia's share $3,930,000, $255 pur IrAd.
4. But even this is excessive. It conhl
be cat down fully one-half, by mere econ
omy of adminlstraUon, as witness the
enormous pension and bounty lists. Were
expenses reduced to a constitutional basis,
the whole Impost system might be abolish
ed to-morrow, and aUll leave revenues and
sources ot revenue sufficient to run Hie
f ovemment. without direct tax at all—

accumulations.
