VOL. X. SERIOUS CIVIL RI-FORY. A HALI CALLtD IN THE SENATORIAL JUNKETING BUSINESS. Senate Mirouici- Solute—The Augusta i <»st office-—Opinions on Half-Masting Gov eminent I lags —Capital Chaf fer ami General Notes. "akhingi'n. March 80.—The reform movement of the new administration is of such a serious character that its influence has extended even to the republican senators. These gentlemen, who control the on I v branch of the govern lent left to the republican parly, have held /or several days cane nes for the purpose of de\ isiug ways and moans to cut down expenses atsnit the senate. Sena tor John Sherman has started all tins. Hi began to urge bis fellow senators • » reform before it was too late, when he became disap pointed in his ambition to w^ure the chair manship of the finance committee. There has been a good d jal of talk about John Shut inan within the last week. Hu has got out " ith his old associates and has made th mala of starting a party of his own. IT* has re fused to serve on the finaiuv committee and has turrted like a fiend of remoise u|»uu ih< pleasant little junketing trips which the u ate fixes up every year for such members as do not care to pay the expense of summer trips. To wards th* 1 close of the regular of the senate a larger number of special com mdu.-s were authorized to sit during the va cation than had ever been authorized before. There ha* been liardly a uay in the executive session when some project lias not been up for the employment of a s-nntonal commit tee in the investigation of some important sub ject. Upto the present the following commit- ’ tecs have been granted power to meet during the recess ar. I to einnicv clerks, sten ographer* and other and foreMty - , • h/ ation and labor. naval af fairs, Indian aifa r& transportation .mtes to the sea boon 1. *?!«<• trvointni stet ■on in tor sthte ’ commerce, rules, privileges and uleuiious, on steel producing works and printing commit tee. This is a list of twelve, but of that numb o it ran be stated that it is usual for the print ing committee to meet during the recess of congress to ojx-n bids, etc. Such nm t ng» ' do not entail any additional cost to the gov- j ernment. The comm on rules also tern some work on hand which i is conceded must be done by tin* next mot-ting of congress. , There is to lie a new r-vis <.a of the rules, etc., and another < Ji”ion of the digest is bv printed, hen* e ; c.mauiitc is to be ex empted from tbu ojk rati* ns o’ the Sh rman rejjeal. Many of i e commitom > named are authorized to tins • ! about the country in, search of informal ion. Os this class arc the ' committ* s on Indian affairs, naval affairs, j transportation routes, ini, - s ate comm* steel producing works and education an i la : bor, while the commit bar on ugricultur i { fore ,try is to make a tour through the Adir- , ondacks. Beside- the committees which have already ’ received authority to do recess work, res >lu i tions are pending to authorize a special u n j mittee to visit Alaska, t■> empower the com- ‘ inittee on coast defenses to visit different points and investigate the subject of pro ■ •- tion to our coasts, to authorize the < ommit tee on fisheries to look in; > the fisheries and to direct the committee on claims to compile and collect information. Should the pend ing resolutions be adopted, thus increasing the list of committees having authority to compile or investigate and trav 1 to fifteen, not counting tb • printing committe it <-an easily be seen that the cont ingeui fund would have to be very large to cover the expense in curred. The aggregate expense of all the committees would not protiably fall below f 100,000, as the trip to Alaska would neers sarily be a costly one. Mr. Sherman made a very strong speech in < mucus, advocating the adoption of his re&4ution rescinding the order creating ail this extra committee w<;rk. He show.-d the republican senators that the contingent fund would be so much increased as to create a scandal Hr naked hiß essociatee what they could say in the coming campaign, when the democrats would lx aide to point to a record of reform and economy m tin* administration of pul lie affairs, while th-* republicans would have in comparison nothing to show but the record of an extravagant and needless lot of senatorial junketing trips. The caucus was a very lively one. Sherman was asked by some of th • senators why hr did not begin this reform and economy when he was in the treasury department. It was more than | hinted that his Homan v irtue wa.s a very re cently aequi red articie The outcome of the talk, however, was an agreement among the republicans that there must be mine of retrenchment. They intend to examine the list of employes and »ee if some of them cannot be cut off. There are atiout SOO persons employed about the aeuate at an aggregate cost cf a year It is said that the Butler budding is to b given up, and that a number of useless committees are to l>e disjirnsed with, so that there will be no necessity for renting this outside building. Senator Jones came in for his share of the general storm fur his renting of this Butler building. While the caucus has agreed upon a general line of re form they will probably leave a number of the junketing trips Xo stand Paragraphs have l«en printed in the Bos ton and one of the Washington Bunday pa pers that Mr. Blaine had embarrassed Presi dent Cleveland by asking him to retain Post master Manley at Augusta, and that in the event of Manley’s removal he asks as a cour tesy due to him that Mr. Plaisted, editor of the New Age, Augusta, should not be ap pointed to the vacant place because he pub lished during the campaign so many personal scandals against the republican candidate. It appears to have no l>asis of fact. No ap plication has been made to Mr. Cleveland by Mr. Blame for any personal favor. Neither has he directly or indirectly asked any mem ber of the cabinet to interfere in his behalf. There has been no application marie at the posiofiice department upon the part of Post master Manley asking to be retained. The only communication which has passed be tween the president and Mr. Blaine since March 4 was upon the occasion of the latter’s call when he paid his visit of ceremony bo the white house several days ago. Neither is Mr. B’aine one of the owners of the Na tional R Jpublican under its new manage ment. The republicans are seeking io make a great point because the interior department was closed in honor of Jacob Thompson, who was secretary of the imeriur department un der Buchamian. The republicans say that it was a great mistake to put the flags of the government at half-mast in hon<>r of the memory of this man, who, as they allege, went out of the department a defaulter to the amount of $800,000; and, also, tiiat he was one of the principal leaders in the rebel plot during the war to send yellow fever clothing through the north. They point to the fact that no attention was paid in the de partments to Howell Cobb or ex-Secretary Floyd when they died. They were member • Jailn dSBaSSB us Buch •Millan's cabinet, too, but went into th * coni . derncy. “No more notice was ta 1 : m o their deaths,’’said one, “by the author! l ies here than if they had been dead dogs. 4 ’ Army Intelligence.

Rob-rt Ni-rilk w;u arrest’d at Uonmni Bluffs for arson <*om mitUsl Thursday on the farm of Donald Stuart, near Walnut, la. The property wa formerly owned by Neville’s pi rents, but lie came involved in litigation and was lost, Stuart buying it at sheriff’s sale. Neviile has been sore a I out the matter ever since, and afternoon started for Stuart'- place with the intention of firing the prop erty. He was followed by several farmers. He drove them back by firing five or six shots from a Winchester rifle, and set fire to Stuart’s house, barn, outbuildings and hay racks, holding the crowd at bay with his rifle until the bulldingß were destroyed. Neville then escaped to his father's; house, barricadfxl the doors and windows and pre pared for a siege. Constable Sammy sum moned a large posse and surrounded the house, keeping watch on it all night. It was a bright moonlight evening, and whenever one of the watchers would get within range Ne ville fired at him, dis[x*nsing about forty bul lets during the night but injuring nobody. The watchers peppered away at the house with rifles, revolvers and shotguns, and at midnight Neville called out that h»- was wounded and would siwrender. He was hit and slightly wounded in the leg, and was brought in under a strong guard. There was a disposition to lynch him, but cool headed men kept the mob back. Neville is thought to be crazy.

Bismarck, Dak., Marchßo.—Th‘reis great »x<4ternent in this city in relation to reported jold discoveries twenty-three miles north of Bismarck. Rumors have been in circulation some weeks in relation to discoveries, but nothing definite was known except among a ’avonxl few, when several loca. i* is were re corded in the office of the register of deeds. Seventy-five men are already staking out claims, and it is said that there is surely gold and silver quai tz and petroleum. The speed mens stand the test of acids and fire and the netal is taken up by quicksilver. The re ports find general belief, but an ex pert expresses an opinion that the specimens exhibited are mica feldspar and yellow py rites in granite porphyry and quartz. The Hero Better.

London, • March 80.—Foiintains of tear? pour from the English press over the recall of Mr. Lowell, who is und<*niab!y the most popular minister among the English ever sent from the United States as undeniably he is, whether justly or.unjustly, the most un popular among the American colony and tourists. This Is oddly at variance with the popularity with which the lat ter regard Messrs. Merritt and Mitch ell, the American consul and vice consul at London, who are as well liked by the English as by their countrymen. Much curiosity is expressed by the press about Mr. Phelps, whe is generally described as a Vermont senator i and a profeasor of Yale college. The St I James Gazette and the Pali Mall Gazette are positively brutal in speaking of his presumed insignificance, white the Tinies, Post and News are courteous. Said a leading Ameri can banker; “I have known tu new minister for twenty years. He will make his mark here in diplomatic society and among men of science. ” On the Thames. London, March 30. —ln the university boat race Oxford won by two lengths. The ! weather was tine and clear with light wind and faverabte water, which was calm and smooth. The race was witnessed by a large crowd. The race was hotly contested throughout. Oxford gained a slight start at the lead, but at the quarter mite buoy it was an even race. Oxford soon took the lead again slowly and surely. Near the Hammer-1 smith bridge Oxford increased lhe lead: through wild steering by Cambridge, making • a boat length of water between them.

Sfringhei..d, 111., Ma oh 30.—Logan’s friends are beginning to feel very much dis couraged, and have almost given up all hopes of *lecting him te the United S'atos senate. Two or three members of the legislature have openly declared that, after Monday, or the middle <»f next week at the farthest, they will not vote again during the session, and from this standpoint if seems evident, it new men ■ ire not broughtjn, Logan will fail below his average daily strength, and the number of bis votes get less each day. Old and experienced members say that Morrison after this wcuk will not lx, a eauai date, but tins fact does not signify that Logan w’ill • liecomc f-trouger than heretofore, quite the coutrary. It- seems to have been wie policy of both parties te prevent the election of the candidates l»oforu the legisla ture, and while, some democrats would rather see any one ('lifted than Morrison, they will not Jet .i their grip unLil bis lines are broken, y\ liteh’is now likely te occur at any hour. Tin* next strong*-st democratic candidate is undoubtedly Gen. John U. Black, the new pension uoinmis iouer. and when Log in’s chances are gone the personal jMipularity and splendid war record will, it is thought, secure for him one or two independent, votes ■ which Logan or Morrison so far have boon unuble to obtain, as has been remarkisL and Monday will afford the last rav of hope for Ltigan’s election by the present legislature.

A reportei called uj»ou the heads and pi-ominent members of several powerful Irish societies. Every man who was stsai expressed • lelight over (lie prospect of war between I: igland and Russia Not a man was willing to make, an authoritative statement as a rep resf*ututiv6 of hi society concerning actioi that might be iak< n; on the contrary, they all seemed disposed to avoid saying anythin]. ! which would attract artention to the doings of the organization to which they are at : Inched. Thomas Donnelley said, with a sardonic I smihu “England will have but! little time U • devote to the raising of prize beeves while I the mahdi is slinging his spears, the Russian he ir is chewing up her outfiosts in Afghan, tin half-breeds are scalping Canadians, anc and an occasional Irishman is touching off « can of dynamite near Lhe house of parlia I ment.” Jl will be the happiest day of my life ! when the Russian bear has the English lion by the throat end the mahdi has him by the tail and the dynamiters arc pelting car I fridges at his carcass,” said James McGrath ' a well-known Irish nationalist of the Ifftl j ward. “Thu day of Ireland s dtflivurauci* is neai at land,” said Patrick Maguire, keeper ol the morgue and member of the Ancien* Order of Hibernians. “Between getting roasted in London and frozen m Russia tin poor men that our lighting under the Britisl flag will earn their pay.” Mr. Philip Clare, of the A. O. IL, was in i very pleasant frame, of mind. Said ho: “It looks to me as if the Irish veteran! who fought in the northern and sou then armies during the rebellion would have t chaee soon to make use of their experience as soldiers. There are enough Irish veterans to officer a good-sized army, and if some ol the boys take it into their heads to go on f trip to Canada, and give Riel, the half-breed a friendly hand, I’m afraid the Canadiat government wouldn’t be able to send any more men in the Soudan.” “There was a time when England could fight two or three countries at a time, but that (Lay is gone,” said Maj. Thomas Clarke, a conservative but patriotic Irishman. “Eng land must count on a hot fight from the real in case she goes to war with Russia. Mr. Parnell has for a long time been trying te appeal to the reason of Englishmen; he may find himself unable to prevent Irishmen fronr. appealing to the sword and more deadly weapons.” “Ireland is not to lie pacified by a visit front I the Prince of Wales,” said ex-Congressmai Daniel O’Reilly. “Pomp and parade anc promises will not quiet Irishmen who demand freedom. The declaration of war lietweer England and Russia will send a thrill of joy , te every patriotic Irish heart in every land. Mr. Parnell, honored and esteemed as he 1i by the sons of Ireland, will hardly be able t< control the men who have followed his lead in the hope that England would listen to hii I eloquent appeals for justice. If his warning voice is not listened to, and prompt justice done, days of sorrow and humiliation wil follow quickly.” “England will require an army ii Ireland in case she has another war on hei hands,” said Alderman Curran, “and sh< will require a larger army than she sent out to fight the mahdi. There are plenty of gooc Irish sailors in the United States, men whe served with distinction in the late war. Then I is a great deal of talk about England block ading the Russian ports. Supjiose Russia should issue letters of marque. Does anyom doubt, for a moment that there would be any trouble in fitting out privateersmen witl Irish officers and Irish crews? Foi that matter there aro many American sailors who would lie only too glad tx get a chance to ship and fight, against Eng i land on the sea. We have as good sailon i over here as they have in England, and th< prospect of prize money would lie a great temptation to the men I speak of. Britannia doesn’t rule the wave any more. And then | is another point to view th; matter from I Russia was /America’s friend during the re bellion, while England was fitting out anc giving shelter to such vessels as the Ala bama. It’s a long street tiiat l;as no ash barrels in it, and England has tumbled uj against a whole lot of them. There an enough Irish sailors in the twelfth ward te 1 I I man three or lour cruisers to fight against. . England.” Amos McMahon, of Bucyrus, 0., had a few 1 words with Gottlieb Frank, when Fran! struck McMahon, knocking him against I stool and breaking his thigh bone. | TIT r’-'-.N J4R Fresh, Pithy, v. n n c» |h | .lovrn for 1 the Kernel te .1 •.
