' MYSTERY.
Pleceverv f Heamlne la the Twjs.
- tleth Ward BlxfSkeleteae Exhumed Jixclie-
tent la the Neighborhood.
' Late on Saturday afternoon the residents of the
Twentieth ward and vicinity were somewhat ex
1 cited by a reportttiat some human remains had been
disinterred by workmen engaged In digging a clay
"tied in the neighborhood of Twenty-foarth and
Brown streets. reat excitement was ojcasloned
lor a time by the report, and many visited the soene
of operations to-satisfy themselves of its truth.
The place- wtoere the work-men are engaged in
' digging is a sma l clay bed, situated on trie south
- aide of A street, below Twenty-fourth. A street is a
- small street panning parallel -with Master, and close
to It. The bed Is being worked by a brick manufao
1 turer In the neighborhood. The workmen on Satur-
day camo across some bones undoubtedly human,
--and a oarefai-searcri revealed quite a large quantity.
Pieces of cefflna were also discovered. There were
marks of at least six graves.
This -morning the search, was continued, bat
nothing more was discovered, nor can any light be
thrown upon the subject as to how the bodies came
to be there. Bonie say that the spot was once a
Cathollo cemetery, but no authority can be given
- for the oonleeture. No one In the neighborhood
knows anything about It.
The bones; so far as discovered, have been piled
together, and loose dirt thrown upon them They
appear to be common property. Every visitor that
comes- along carries away one or two in his pocket
as a cariosity. It is said that boys have run away
with fully sue-half of them. Whoever any one or the
skeletons eiay have belonged to will have a hard
time to collect together the several pieces of his
bodily frame, should he ever have need of It In the
-resurrection. A top of a skull was turned no this
morning by the diggers, which was Immediately
seized upon by a tavern-keeper, probably to be de
corated with ribbons, and tu4urn decorate his bat?
The good man thus taking possession of his neigh-
toor's property, however, promised, in a wild and
rather. Incoherent way, coueequent upon his being
- somewhat overdrugged, that he would bring a cart
. and ake away the bones aimself to a graveyard If
. nobody else did it. It Is to-be hoped In that case
i. that he will add his private collection to the general
stock. .The discovery of this top of a skull, being the
only event of the morning, was the subject of con
siderable remark by the crowd gathered to await
iftithjiflA AlnninnntA.
The possessor handled It ta true gravedlgger style,'
. ana It on'f neenea my preseuue oi a nrst-ciass actor
to. llll In the "Hamlet." it was declared to be the
nknii of . a woman, beaause it was small and could
not have beld a large amount of brains. It must
. have beendumbheaded or mulish woman, because
, tne bone was so thick. Bets were freely given and
taken as to the chances of flnding more relics on the
' spot. . Home even went so far as to state as their
linn conviction that .money also would be dug up In
..large quantities. - , - - b
Home pctvately announced their Intention of
coming In the dead of night to continue the search
. . on their own aeoount. Whoever the poor mortals may
have. been who have thus been buried unheeded and
unknown, ne thing Is certain Uiat all of that race
commonly called fools have not been burled with
tliem In their unmarked graves.

The following additional petition wre pre

tion of tha franking privilege.
Also, tha petition o( A. J. Richardson, of New
York, relating to a cause in the Court of Claims;
and tLa memorial of Harmon K. Went worth,
late of the Fourteenth New York State Volun
teer Artillery.
Mr. Conkllng offered a resolution, which was
afcrecd to, directing the Committee on Foreign
A H airs to inquire w hether Henry Mahler, a citizen
of Prussia, has anv claims against the proprie
tors or managers of the French cable, so called,
which should be regarded or protected by the
Congress of the United Stttas.
He explained that his object was to secure tha
Introduction of a memorial from the parson re
ferred, to, which, being from a subject af a
foreign government, could not nnder the usage
of the Senate, be received without special pro
vision lor Its reception, lhe memorial con
tained statements in support of the petitioner's
claim.
Mr. Wilson c sllad np the bill prohibiting re
tired officers being assigned to duty which would
entitle them to full pay for services. He said
the bill was prepared by the House last session,
and provided that retired officers should not bo
assigned to duty, a necessity In time of war
which did not now exist. The President would
thus be relieved of unnecessary pressure. The
bill was passed. Upon tho expiration of the
morning hour tha Virginia bid came . np in
order. !
Mr. Stewart suggested the propriety of sub
stituting the House bill for the pending measure.
' Mr. Kumner objected to any reading of the
Iloime kill to-day, which would require a sus
pension of the rules.
Mr. Conkllng hoped tha Senate would proceed
with the Senate bill, and at the proper time the
House bill would ba Incorporated in it as an
amendment.
A motion, by Mr. Stewart, to postpone the
Senate bill aud take up the House measure, gave
rise to a discussion npon the proper method of
procedure under the rules.
The Chair decided that npon the motion to
postpone, the merits of the subject to be post
poned ware not debatable nnder the sixth rule
oi the Senate.
Further debate arising, Mr. Trumbull, In or
der to obviate the difficulty, moved to lay tha
Senate bill en the table.
Mr. Edmunds submitted a question of order,
which was recognized as well taken, that tha
latter motion could not take precedence of the
one pending. ., .
Mr. Stewart finally withdrew his motion, and
then moved to lay the Senate bill on the table.
Mr. Morrill (Vermont) said the motion opened
up the whole question at lssae. He desired to
know upon what Inducement the Republican
party propoied by adopting the House bill to
commlt sniclde?
Mr. Davis Interjected the remark that the
Republican party a Inclination to commit sui
cide was because it felt that it ought to ba
hanged.
Mr. Morrell declared that, upon financial and
ether questions affecting the public welfare, he
would not trust tha late Rebels any sooner than
he would Northern Democrats.
