THE DAVIS DISCUSSION.
The Galleries Packed to Hear the W»wr
Fought Over Again—Vance's Phillippic
Hawley Sustains Tecumseh —A
Bill to Retire Grant.
Washington, Jan. 14.—The senate galler
! irs were densely packed in anticipation of a
renewal of the exciting debate of Monday.
.Mr. Hale, for the committee on appropria
i lions, reported the house naval bill with the
senate amendment and gave notice he would
call it up on Wednesday.
Mi. K hounds, president pro tem., called
Mr. Ingal! to the chair, and from the floor,
as chairman of the committee on judiciary,
<H\ d a bill authorizing the president w ith
the consent of the senate to appoint on the
retired list of the army us the United States,
, from among those who have been generals
<• inmanding the army, or generals in
' übief of said army, one person to
be put on the retired list and
the total number now allowed by law to be
increased accordingly. Mr. Edmunds asked
j unanimous consent that this bill be consid
: cred immediately as every senator could see
• its purport. It would authorize the presi
i dent to appoint Ulyses S. Grant to the army.
! aiid obviate the objection urged by the presi
dent to the Fitz John Porter bill. ’ Mr. Cock
rell objected and the bill went over.
Mr. Hawley moved to proceed to the eon
federation of his bill to print Gen Sherman's
historical stntement. On this question when
th" nays were called dead silence was main
tailed on the democratic side, and the senate
proceeded to the consideration of the ques
tion.
Mr. Vance slowly arose with a manuscript
speech in Lis hand, and proceeded to read
that part of Gen. Sherman’s letter which re
ferred to him, to which he categorically re
| plied:
He said that no letters, documents or letter
I books were left at hi • residence while guv
| i i iior: that no clerk or secretary of his ever
used as a repository any > opy book for hli
(Vance’s) correspondence, all letters having
I been c•••pie«l in the book as required by lav,
i ;md al t. rwaids tied up in bundles, where
11 lev remain until this day; that Gon.
Sherman did not find In the copy book
which he refers to any such letter
for the reason no such letter e\ er
r.Gsted; and he averred most positively
on his honor as an American senator that no
letter containing such a threat was recorded
by him, and that all letters from Mr Davis
t<> him were to l>e found copied in the book
now on silo in the war department. He pro
\ ded to say the reasons given by Gen. Sher
man in corroboration of bis statement were
equally untrue. It was impossible that any
distinguished citizens of North Carolina could
ha\ ' inado the statement to Gen. Sherman
which he said they did, that he (Vance)
was afraid of Davis. I was true that
L(Vaiic-e) did send an embassy to
Gcil Sherman, but it was to ask
prefect,ion, not. separate terms, the war being
tu n virtually over, and Mr. Davis a fugitive.
]; • reason he did not await the return of
the embiuwy w;w because he was informed it
had been captured by Kilpatrick’s cavalry.
1 ti iso who served on the victorious side in
tu » late war seemed unable to appreciate the
L »lings which those who suffered defeat still
i?nt< i .ained toward their great leader, but he
appealed to them whether they as men would
not rather see their late foes meeting them
ng up rather than crawling on their
bellies.
ii. Hawley read extracts from the cott®*-
p-... i.•• between Mr. Vance and Mr. Davis
on th, subject of suspending the writ of
kubeas corpus to sustain Gon. Sherman’s
views as to their relation.
. .r Brown ruse to a personal explanation.
He s .id that he never disobeyed any order
while the prueq>eiit of the confederate states
had a r igid to give. There had been a differ
ence of opinion between Mr. Davis and him
-elf as t*> the constitutionality of the con
; -eript act, but ho never sought to obstruct it
I wh- -i Gru. Sherman’s army invaded Georgia.
H called to active service a class of persons,
.id nr hi, boys, and the officers of counties not
j liab’e to military duty, and ho did
r. fir to ol>ey the order to turn
it. ; - troops over to the confederate army
; h thu president had no power to order
into service troops that by law were exempt,
and though these troops wore furloughed to
giiiher the crops, they were afterwards called
; bju k into service and duly surrendered with
Johnston's army. He denied thateither him
or. Mr. Stephens ever indicated a wish to
G a. Sherman for a conference with a view
jto a separate state accommodating for
. iu, though both would been glad to
nave seen negotiations opened between thu
federal and confederate governments.
I Tin- star does not seem inclined to believe
! the story that is on the way through the
new -pa pc ft* that the president will go out of
! the white house poorer than he entered it, or
that, h will be a comparatively poor man bu-
< . iso he has been unable to save anything
Ir en his salary. It says: “Nothing can
w< 11 lie further from the truth, and any one
i who L iic.ves the statement must l>u very ig-
I norant of the facts connected with thu lib
| oral provisions made for the position.
• Nearly all the expenses of running the presi
' dential establishment are paid by congress
ional appropriations, in one form or another,
leaving the necessary outlay of the president
: to be only what it may cost for food and
clothing and the cost of a few entertain
mi-nts. The salary is $50,000 a year, and a
liberal estimate of expenses of all kinds
would fall far below SI,OOO a month, taking
the year through, thus leaving a net income
< i ;.’/S,OOO per annum. Us course, it is not
pi "tended that more may not be spent if
the incumbent of the place be a man of
extravagant personal tastes or habits, but
’ there is nothing in the official or social obli
gations of the position requiring a greater
outlay than the figures named above, and
there is good reason for believing that it will
ordinarilly reach that sum. In other words,
tij" president is able to do all that can be
ju-tly expected of him, officially and person
ally, in the way of living and entertaining
wi.ile in office, and still leave it with a com
pe'ent fortune, as was intended to be the case
when the salary was fixed at the liberal sum
now paid.” .

A SPECK OF WESTERN WAR.
A Rattle with the Boomers Inevitable—•
Their Terrible Threat in Case of Defeat.
Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 14.—Private ad
vices received from Stillwater, I. T., the en
campment of the Oklahoma boomers, say the
recent failure of Li/ut, Day and his soldiei*s to
destroy the settlemunt and remove the Bot
tlers, or i'V.ji to >;ake any inroad toward a
surrender, has inspired the boomers with a
feeling of eventual success. They have now
become bolder and defy ejectment from any
source The colonists are undar the leader
ship of Capt. W. Couch, and number about
400 men. armed with rifles, shotguns and pis
tols. The town has become a seat of war.
The men are being drilled and other prepara
tions for battle made. Supplies sufficient
for a continual siege are at hand and the an
nouncement by ('apt. Couch that the colony
will not sure uli r out will fight until over
powered indicates that a conflict with the
government 11oops will result.
It is now known that the boomers were
only kept from tiring on Day’s command by
entreaties from their leader. Day avoided
bloodshed by withdrawing and is camped
near Fort Reno awaiting orders. Meanwhile
the government is making preparations to
captun* the boomers and demolish the town.
Gen. Hatch has eight companies and a bat
tery under his command. Supplies for a
sixty day campaign are being packed. Gen.
Hatch will demand an unconditional surren
der, and if refused will destroy the Colony
and drive the intruders from the colony at
any sacrifice.
Further reports state that the colonists de
clare that if defeated they will fire the
prairie and burn out every cattle ranch in
the Indian Territory.
IT SEEMS MOST SUSPICIOUS.
The Death of Dr. John Linthicum, of Bal
ti in ore, at Kearney, Neb.
BALTI'K ‘UK, M'’., Jan. 14. -The inysteriuu i
death of Dr. John Linthicum, in Kearney,
Neb., on January 3, has caused a sensation
among his relatives and friends of this city,
who are confident that there has been foul
play. Their suspicions are directed toward
Dr. C. A. Jackson. Last spring Linthicum,
having several thousand dollars to invest.,
answered an advert-ement from Dr. Jack
son. The two men came to terms and
went west. Mrs. Linthicum, who resides on
Mulberry street, heard very little from her
son. On Tuesday night she received a dis
patch which said: “John Linthicum is dead.”
Mrs. Linthicum telegraphed to Jackson, but
he failed to reply. The coroner, however,
sent word t hat an inquest had been held and
that the proceedings would be forwarded by
mail Yesterday morning Mrs. Linthicum
received a letter from Mr. Itaiwhat ter, stat
ing that he and another friend of Dr. Lin
thicum’s calk*! at the latter s house to sit up
with him the night before he died.
At 9 o’clock, however, Dr. Jackson
and his daughter, who lived with
Dr. Lint hicum, entered the room and insisted
upon the visitors leaving, stating that they
would take care of the patient. At 5 o’clock
the following morning Dr. Linthicum died.
Mr. Benschatter added that when be entered
the room Linthicum s emed to Im? suffering
very much and was unable to talk. The only
words hu uttered were: “If I could only tell
you something!” then, as if exhausted, he ex
claimed “Oh!” and sank back on his pillow
wnd died.
Double Suicide.
Sterling, Til., Jan. 14. GuyM. Galt, a lad
of seventeen years, son of L.T Galt, and Jacob
R.Hhinehart, aged twenty-seven, both of this
city, committed suicide by poison from
causes unknown. Young Galt was attend
ing the military school at Chester, Pa., and
was home for the holidays. On his was back
U) school he got off the train at Chicago, re
turning to his home in Sterling without as
signing any reason and was sternly re
proached by his parents for bis action. Pur
chasing a box of rat poison, young Galt went
to Howe’s livery stable where Rhinehart was
employed, and wl ilo there took the fatal dose
that resulted in his death a few hours later.
Rhinehart seemed much affected by Gait’s
death. Finding the box containing some of
the jioison which Galt had taken, he too,
swallowed some of the bane, and informed
his employer what he bad done, saying ho
wanted to die, and refusing all assistance or
remedies. Both victims were highly re
spected, and the motive for their rash action
is unknown.
A New Move by the Mormons.
Halt Lake, Utah, Jan. 14.—Recently some
high Mormons returned from Mexico. They
reached the stronghold of the untamable
Yanqui savages and made a conditional
treaty with them. Within a few days J. N.
Taylor, the head of the Mormon Church,
Chief Counsellor Smith, Bishop Sharp and
others, have left here. It is known that they
are oute to Mexico, and they are believed
to have gone to the capital to treat with the
Mexican government for lands and a charter
like Nauvoo charter. The plan is to make a
rendezvous for Mormons liable to prosecution
under the Edmunds law, and also form the
nucleus of a future empire. In their favor is
the fact that the Yanqui are terrible Indians,
and have never been subdued, and the people
us the northern Mexican states fear them
exceedingly.
Hot Boxes Save a Southern Train.

Georgia railroad, near Rome, Ga., failed only

up several yards of the track and drove
pieces of rails into the cattle guard* They
then piled cross ties between the rails, making
an obstruction which would dash the train
down a frightful steep. Just before the train
ri ached there the engine boxes became hot,
s.nd the engineer stopped the train to cool
l.hem. He struck the obstruction just as
die engine came to a stand-still. The
pilot was torn off, but no other damage was
lone.

Terrible Scenes of Desolation in a Once
Prosperous New Jersey Village—Starv
ing Mill Operatives Feeding on Cats
and Dogs -Many Dying.
Paterson, N. J., Jan. 14. —The fact that
the mill operatives, to the number of two
hundred, of the little village of Wortendyke,
Bergen county,, were in great distress was
telegraphed over the country, but the half is
not told and later revelations show a shocking
state of affairs. Nearly all of the men and a
majority of the adult women of the place
gain a livelihood in the neighboring mills,
but latterly, owing to over-production, many
of the mills have been compelled either to
shut down entirely or compel their employes
to bo satisfied with two and three days’ work
in the week.
Those of the inhabitants of the houses who
were able to be abroad were thin and atten
uated, and utter starvation was de
picted upon their features. Hollow
cheeks and glaring, hungry-looking eyes
made the men, wt nen and children look
little less than savages, but an inside view
of some of these houses presented a terrible
sight, Ragged little children stood in the
doorways and besougjht the visitors, not for
money, but for food. Older children stood
by, hungry looking and gaunt, but appar
ently too well-bred and too proud to opunly
ask strangers fur that which they were evi-
much in need of. Little feet that
had not known a shoe for many a day were
bound up in rags to guard them against the
nipping frost. Squalid children of older
growth had pieces of horse blankets bound
around their lower limbs, and boys and girls
were dressed alike. The elder members of
the families, with dazed countenance, stared
at tho newcomers and seemed almost incap
able of moving their limbs or even their lips
to answer thu questions propounded
The miserable and scant furniture in these
dwellings showed that if ever there had been
better it had been made away with to satisfy
the cravings of appetite. The coverings of
the buds had, in some instances, been
stripped off and improvised into garments.
Iu but very few caoes were there any fires in
the dilapitated stoves, and the scarcity of
fences in the vicinity plainly showed where
the fuel had been obtained. Most of the
Hoel’s were carpetless. In the lowliest of
these dwellings squallor and deprivation
reigned supreme. The women and children
were in tatters, and the latter were suppli
cating for nourishment which the former
were unable to provide. Gray-haired grand*
mothers and grandfathers sat by, crying like
children.
in one family of six all were in the last
stages of starvation, and a puny little infant
was making futile endeavors to obtain nour
ishment from its mother’s shrunken breast.
The head of the family said that neither him
self nor his family had tasted meat for throe
weeks, and it was only through the aid of
charitable neighbors that they had obtained
uvf'ii crusts of bread. The neighbors of the
surrounding villages have done all they can
to assist the poor people, but the number of
destitute has gradually increased until their
means are exhausted and they have been
compelled to give up in despair. One of the
villagers said that one of the families had
subsisted for nearly a week upon the carcass
ol a big Newfoundland dog. He said that
the children eagerly ata the flesh and cried for
more, although they knew whence it camo.
It is said that cats have also been eaten.
Other inei'lents of a more sickening nature
are related.
The local churches and schools have been
called iq>on, and the people of Passaic and
this city have been urged to send succur ere
it be too late.

SEARCHING FOR BURIED GOLD.
Efforts to Recover Treasure Buried More
than a Century Ago.
Alexandria Bay, N. Y., Jan. 14.—More
than a century ago, according to the versions
of the oldest inhabitants of this quiet, old
fashioned place, an immense amount of gold
coin and other treausure was buried in an
unknown spot not far from this village. Fre
quent efforts to locate the spot have
been made, but without success, but
the hope of recovering the long-lost
treasure has by no means been abandoned.
The story is an interesting and somewhat ro
mantic one. According to the best authenti
cated records, about twenty-two years ago a
Frenchman came up the St. Lawrence river,
bring! ig with him a map about three feet
square, which hu said indicated the spot
where the hidden wealth, consisting of an
enormous lot of gold coin, brass cannon and
other munitions of war, lay. Such was ths
vast quantity of the buried treasure that It
was estimated that a dozen teams of horset
would be necessary to cart it away.
The Frenchman’s story was in effect that
bis grandfather, a Frenchman, and a very
old man, when on his deathbed had given
him the map showing the location of tin
treasure. The old man represented that ha
had been a captain of a band of armed men,
whether robbers, pirates or soldiers he did
not explain, and that to save the gold from
enemies they had deemed it wisest to bury it,
but at the time marked the spot and located
it by a carefully prepared map.
There are traditional tales hereabouts that
during the war between England and France
about a century and a quarter ago, piratical
cruisers in these waters plundered ships of
their treasure. River craft would bo sud
denly surrounded by boats hidden in the
numeious bays, robbed and sunk. Th«
Frenchman who had the map visited island
after island, but in some way missed thia
place, which bad undergone many change*
Forests had been cut down and the grounds
cultivated. Finally the Frenchman ex
hausted his means and returned to France.
He left the map behind, however, and it ii
now in the possession of Albert Baxter,
cousin of Thomas Comstock, the boat builder
of Alexandria bay. Mr. Baxter upon scan
ning the map closely said that he knew the
location of the cave was on the farm of
Mr. Comstock’s father, on Mill's island, neai
where many curious relics of bygone age hud
been found. The map indicated that the
cave was near the lake now known as the
Lake of the Isles, near on inlet on the Cana
dian side.
Several attempts have been made recently
to locate the place where the treasure lief
buried, by digging, and on one occasion a
crowbar plunged through with a hissing
sound and disap[>eared. The map is now
being studied again very carefully and
another effort to reach the secret hiding
place of the old Frenchman’s gold will soon
be made.
Buffalo Excited.
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 14.—For some time
there has been small thieving going on at ths
Geneseo house in this city. On Saturday
night a gold watch, bracelets and other arti
cles were taken from Mrs. Harris’ room. The
police were notified. About the time they
the case a story was started that two
I men entered the Genesee early Monday
morning and pretended to register, but, a>
the story went, drew revolvers, threatening
the Beared employes with death if they mads
a noise, and having bound and gagged them
opened the safe and took therefrom SB,OOO, •
part of which was the charity bail receipt*
The hotel people have orders not to speak on
the subject, and the proprietor puts in a gen
eral denial. The superintendent of police
says there is no truth in the story, but •
prominent city official claims he has been as
sured that the robbery took place as above
stated, and that the denials are made by in
structions from the police authorities. It ii
impossible therefore to get at ti e true fact*
The evening )>apers here published very con
flicting reports of the matter. People hers
can not imagine why the ball receipt* wer<
left in the hotel safe over Sunday, if they
were.
Cambodia iu B«volt.

officers and men, composing the posts in the
