DEBATE IS THE SENATE ON THE GREAT
QUESTION.
SENATE.
Washington, January 4.—ln the
Senate. Mr. Cookliog presented the
petition of bankers, merchants and
other business men of New York oity
in favor of an amioable settlement
of the Presidential contest, expres
sing the hope that all party cooaid
erations will be laid aside, and that
pure, unselfish patriotism control the
action of Congress in the matter.
In presenting the petition, Mr. C.
spoke of the character and stanuing
of those signing the petition, and
said there were men long and hon
orably associated with great enter
prises and industries. It might not
be amiss for him to add bis avowal
of his sympathy with the appeal ot
the petitioners for patriotic and law
ful action. The observance of the con
stitution, obedience to law and main
tenance of truth was not a party ques
tion or a party proceeding. Parties
might contend and should contend
over measures and men, but when
the question had been submitted to
the ballot-box, there was one lawful
duty, one lawful proceeding remain
log, and that was to find the honest,
true result, declare it, abide by it.
That was the duty of the hour. Ii
rested on the Senate; it rested on the
House; it rested on the Nation ; ii
rested on every citizen of the Repub
lic. Party interest as well as pa
triotism and honor, prompted in
one direction and taught one lesson.
That lesson is, whatever stands on
truth and right, shall not Tall; wbat
ever stands on falsehood and (wrong
shall be overthrown.
Petition was refrred to the special
committee of seven Senators appoin
ted to devise means for a proper count
of the Electoral votes.
Conk bug presented fourteen memo
rials against the bill to amend Un
shipping Act.
Wright’s bill establishing a court
to count the Electoral votes was dis
cussed and referred to the select com
mittee on counting the Electoral
vote.
During the debate Mr. Kernan said
he could not agree with some of the
views expressed by the Senator from
lewa (Mr. Wright,) and desired to ex
press bis dissent. Now, the Senatoi
from lowa had argued that it was tbe
right and the duty of the presiding
officer of the Senate to count the
votes, that the duty was imposed
upon him. He (Mr. Kernan) could
not agree to that construction of the
Constitution. He did not think it
was the intention of the framers of
the Constitution to impose any such
duty on that officer. The two
Houses of Congress had the right,
and have imposed upon them by the
Constitution tbe duty of counting
tbe votes.
Mr. Kernan then quoted from the
Constitution, and said the duty c.e
volved upon the tvro Houses of Con
gress, representing States and tb
people, to see that no improper oi
fraudulent vote was counted. He did
not desire to argue this question at
length to-day, but submitted that
the two Houses of Congress were not
to sit dumb like stakes and see
wrong go on. The practice of count
ing of the votes had not been in ac
cordance with any such construction
of the constitution. On every occa
sion each House had appointed tel
lers to count the vote, and as he read
the precedents on every occasion
when any question had arisen in re
gard to counting a certificate, the
two Houses had separated to decide
the matter. It had never been held
that the President of the Senate had
the constitutional duty or right to
count a vote.
He then quoted from numerous
precedents, and referred to the case
of Missouri in 1821, in regard to which
he said that when it was shown that
there might be a question raised as
to the vote of that State, a committee
of the two Houses agreed upon a res
olution that if any objection should
be made to the vote of the State, and
the counting or omitting to count
the same would not change the result
of the election, such result should be
stated both ways, with and without
the vote of Missouri.
He argued that it would not be
wise now, for Congress to attempt to
give anew construction to the; Con
stitution, which would greatly add to
what all deprecated—the heat and
excitement of the hour. Every Sen
ator and every Bepresentative in
Congress should enter upou the dis
charge of this duty of counting the
vote without prejudice, without par
tiality. At the time every man
should remember that the important
question before Congress arises
above all party questions.
In counting the Electoral vote, if a
case comes up where there are frauds,
where it was shown beyond a doubt
that the certificate was a falsehood,
the safety of the government and the
peace of the people demanded that
it should not be counted. He united
with all men in the hope and the be
lief that all these questions would be
settled according to the Constitution
and the laws, and that the real truth
would prevail.
Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, inquired if
the result of either House objecting
to the oounting of the vote of u State,
would be the exclusion of that vote.
Mr. Keruun said he would like to
hear that matter discussed.
Mr. Shertnart said he did not in
tend to express his opinion upon the
questions to arise, but he would
examine them calmly and dispassion
ately. He had no doubt that when
the two houses concurred that the
vote of a State was fraudulent, it
should not be couuted, but if the
two houses disagreed as to the count
of a vote, it would be questionable if
the objection of either house could
exclude the vote.
Mr. Bogy, of Missouri, said that
was the 22d joint rule.
Mr. Sherman said the result of such
a tule was worse than that. He had
hoped that the two houses of Con
gress, through their committees,
would agree upon a plau by which
the vote for President would be
peacefully and carefully counted. He
regretted that the Democratic party
in his own State had appealed to
popular prejudices and called meet
ings on a day sacred to the Demo
cratic party, for the purpose of
having resolutions passed in re
gard to the Presidential question,
tt a time when both Houses of Con
gress were considering the disputed
subjects. He was glad to say that
the special party to which he belong
ed was quiet, calm and serene. No
public meeting had been called by
the Republican party to instruct Re
publican Senators and Represent#
rives, and he hoped there would be
uone. He expressed his profound
hope that Senators, Representatives
ind the people would show by tf-eir
moderation, good sense and temper,
between now and the time for count
ing the vote, that they could be cairn
md not add to the excitement by
heir threats. He appealed to the
press to be moderate and make no
threats or menace.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
London, Jan. 4. —The Times’ Ber
lin correspondent says, notwithstan
ding theserious condition of Turkish
affairs at Constantinople, do imme
diate rupture is apprehended. It is
quite certain Midhat Pasha is ready
to fight if he must, and that Russia
Joes not wish to fight if avoidable.
London, January 4.—A dispatch to
Reuter’s Telegraph Company, from
Constantinople, dated Wednesday
evening, says the apprehensions of a
rupture continue todiminish. It now
seems probable, from the more con
ciliatory feeling that prevails, that
the Porte will not reject the propo
sals of the Powers’ plenipotentiary,
and that it also seems disposed to
make further slight concessions. If
these autieipiations are realized, ne
gotiations will be resumed to-mor
row. It is believed that a pacific so
lution of the Eastern question may
yet be looked for.

to the State and oondholders.

HOW UK PREACHED TO PROCURE Hitt
OWN FREEDOM —HE RESTORES
$150,000.
NoW York Herald.)
Elbert A. Woodward, the ex-conflden
tial clerk of Boss Tweed, who was arrest
ed in Chicago sonic three months ago to
answer to an indictment for forgery and
embezzlement, and has since lain in the
Tombs, was yesterday discharged from
custody about one o’clock in the after
noon Woodward’s counsel, Mr. Wheoles
11. Peckhnm, called at the office of Dis
trict Attorney Phelps, and was closeted
with that official about an hour. At the
expiration of that time Mr. Pe.ckham,
accompanied by two clerks from Phelps
office, proceeded to the Tombs witli an
order of release for the Warden. When
the party arrived at the tombs Mr. Town
send handed the paper to Woodward,
asking him to-give it to Warden. Mr.
Woodward was ignorant of its contents,
and inquired in a puzzled way wlmt it
was about. “Read it.” said Mr. Town
send, and Mr. Woodward tremulously
opened the document. No sooner ltad
he divulged its purport than he exclaimed
gleefully, “Bring my valise; where’s my
hat?” and was wild for a few moments
with happiness.
In less than half an hour the party re
turned, accompanied by Woodward.
The latter entered in consultation with
his counsel and the District Attorney,
and the result of the matter was that
Woodward handed over to Mr. Peck
ham a number of important documents
to lie used us evidence in the forthcoming
trial of Tweed,and ,moreover, transferred
to the city and county of New York proper
ty amounting to $150,000, besides luruish
iug security for the restitution cf $50,00n
more. Woodward then, accompanied
by two friends and Assistant District At
torney Bell, went to the office ot Clerk
Sparks, and after the necessary entries
had been made upon the books of the
Court, Mr. Bell said, “You may go,
Air. Woodward upon your own recog
zauce." Without an instant’s hesita
tion, the person addressed started for
the door, and in less than
half a minute was breathing the air
of the City Hall Park a free man. After
partaking of a little lunch with his coun
sel, he started lor Norwalk, Conn., his for
mei home.
Labor in Georgia.
A meeting of white and colored citizens
from the counties of Oglethrope, Clarke,
and Conee was held on the 9th inst
From the published proceedings of the
meeting it appears that the rights of both
wtiites and blacks were duly considered
and a plan adopted for the purpose ot
doing equal justice to laborers aud em
ployers. It was resolved that the meeting
would do everything in its power to pro
duce and maintain a state of good .feeling
and of confidence between the twoclasses.
The employers pledged themselves to pay
“good honest wages for good, honest
labor;” to pay laborers at all seasons as
large wages as times will permit; to pay
promptly when wages becomes due ; and
lo charge as little as possible for supplies
furnished. Laborors employed by the
year for money, wages or part of the crop
will be required to do a full year’s work.
No improper means will be used to in
duce laborers lo leave one employer for
another, nor will any laborer be employ
ed who is in debt for supplies furnished,
unless the consent ot the creditor be first
obtained. No employment will be furn
ished tramps or idlers who are without a
permanent home, and no laborer already
under contract will be hired for tempoury
work without the consent of his" employ
er. Rations will not be lurnished any
laborer able to work and refusing to do
so The practice of purchasing seed cot
ton, loose lint cotton and other farm pro
ducts, not delivered in merchantable or
der and at proper times, from laborers, is
severely condemed. The cordial co-op
eration of all good citizens in carrying
out this line of policy is invited. — Au

weeks past. Like most other institutions
of the kind, it has been managed on the
most extravagant style, and its present
difficulties were foreseen clearly enough
by many of its best friends, but these
were unable to extricate it. Its present
indebtedness is roughly estimated at some

NTOLEN MY THE INDIANH.
A YOUNG'MAN TURNS UP IN OMAHA AFTER
TWENTY-POUR YEARS ABSENCE.
A dark,swarthy-lookingindividual,
dressed in aeuii-iudiau garb, urrived
at Omaha tbe other day, making
numerous inquiries in very imperfect
English dialect concerning the name
of O. G. Ga3kill, who left some por
tion of Eastern lowa for an overland
trip to California duriug tbe gold ex
citement of 1831. This half wild fel
low claimed that he was the son of
this Guskill, and that he was about
U*e or six yeurs old when his father
set out with his family for the over
land wagon trip to California. The
family, two years later, were in Ari
zona, and one night the Apache In
dians made an uttaek upon them,
and carried him away, while the
others made their escape. Mr. Gas
kiil has a very vivid recollection of
the battle, and also the long wagon
trip from lowa, while ho has little or
no rocoliection of his home or just
wnere it was located. He was carried
away by the Indians and lived with
them, sharing the same neglect and
attention as their own children, until
he grew to manhood. He describes
his life as being pleasant, and one
that he fully enjoyed. He became
acquainted witli the great chief
Cocnise, and followed him in many
of his battles. He painted, tattooed
and besmeared his skiu like the sav
ages themselves, and until now he has
the same coppery color. He de
scribes Cochise as being a great war
rior and a most wonderful savage.
He remained with these Indians
until about six years ago, when he
was captured by the Comanehes in
one of their battles with the Apaches,
ami with them he led a wandering
existence, first as captive, and after
ward as one of the tribe. Last fall
he became tired of such a mode ol
existence and loft the tribe, and mak
ing his way to the Pacific coast.|made
inquiries concerning his family, but
railed to learn anything of them. In
his wandering, nomadic life, he has
accumulated considerable wealth in
the form of gold-dust, and on the
proceeds of this he was traveling in
search of his lost home and friends.
No one seemed to be able to give
him any information, and he started
on his way East to prosecute his
search in lowa.
Is Colorado n State t
Special to Baltimore Gazette. 1
Washington, December 28.— Hon.
Frank Hurd is preparing an elabo
rate repot ton the Colorado case,
which refers to the admission ol
Judge Belford as a representative
from a regularly admitted State, The
position of Mr. Hurd, it is believed
by several üble attorneys, is techni
cally correct. The points he will
make are as follows:
The Forty-third Congress, at its
last session, passed an act enabling a
convention of the people of Colorado
to frame a constitution, which was to
be submitted on completion to the
President, who would at once pro
ceed to issue his proclamation certi
fying that Colorado was a State in
the Union. Mr. Hurd claims that
Congress had no power nor authority
to delegate any powers to an Execu
tive where the free exercise of such
powers, as he urges in this case,
would depend entirely upon the will
of the people. Should the citizens
of Colorado repudiate the constitu
tion framed by tbeir Legislature, the
enabling act would be substantially
null and void. According to the
present plan Colorado may be a State
contingent on the satisfaction of her
people with the constitution framed,
and the subsequent proclamation ot
the President. He claims that this
mode of procedure is dangerous and
open to many objections on constitu
tional grounds. The admission of a
State should be exclusively through
out the entire process in the bands of
Congress.
Mr. Hurd will make an extended
urgument on the force and extent of
delegated powers. The majority ol
tbe committee, headed by Judge
Lynde, of Wisconsin, look upon the
proclamation of the President as a
mere formality.
Why Tide* Occur Later Each Day.
As the moon revolves around the
earth from West to East, she ad
vances eastwardly in her orbit about
thirteen degrees every twenty-four
hours. Hence, when any part of the
earth. In its revolution, comes under
a patt of the heaveus where the moon
was the evening before, the moon is
not there, but has gone eastward
thirteen degrees, and therefore the
earth must turn on its axis as much
longer us is necessary to bring that
part again under tbe moon, which re
quires generally, not always, about
lirty minutes.
Tbe same thing occurs the next
evening ufter, and thus tbe moon
rises most of tbe year about flrty
minutes later each day. Now as the
tides are produoed mainly by the
moon, it will at once be seen from
this eastward movement and this
later rising each day why they must
occur about fifty minutes later each
succeeding day. While the lunar
tide is thus daily lagging, the solar
tide occurs at the same time. Hence
these two tides always begin to sep
arate after new moon, being further
apart each day, until they again co
incide at full moon, when there is a
higher tide than usual, called spring
tide. Then again they separate un
til new moon occurs, when they once
more unite, producing another
spring tide.
It must not he supposed that the
whole body of the ocean, to the pro
foundest depths, is equally moved by
the tides. The tides are mainly su
perficial, and except where the water
is of moderate depth the lowest parts
are only slightly disturbed, but to
what depth the tidal current extends
can never, perhaps, be satisfactorily
determined. The Gulf Stream Is
about three thousand feet deep, hav
ing for its bottom a bed of colder
water of various depths; but as the
stream is the result of other causes
than those that produce the tides, it
is not safe to estimate the depth of
the tidal currents by its own.
