The Bt. Joseph MoVUnfon, February id, ;
says: About, five o’clock yesterday evening >
the most terrible afTair occurred at the jaii .
that 8b Joseph has witnessed for years, re- ,
gulling in the death of* two tpen anu tue cs- ,
cape Of no lejatbatt eighteen Prisoners. ;
To begin with the outbreak, Sir. Andrew
Craig,jailor; entered the jail for the purpose ,
of locking the prisoners in their leaving ,
Harry MT Fish, a young man I
years old, -tie brother of our w orthy Sheriff, ,
to bolt the outer door alterhim. A 9 Mr.
Craig stepped from the revolving cylinder j
into the jail, he was grasped from bebing ;
by Btrorig hands, dragged into a cell; and .
the door locked after hina. . Instan a
■neously the notorious Oscar Lcland and John
•Barken desperadoes who have been confined
since August last, but who had broken out,
Sed into the cylinder, which was rapidly
ved by accomplices, and, before young
Fish had time to lock the door,burst through,
and were in the halL Fish ran up stairs to
Mrs. Craig’s room and called , for pistols.'
Quick as-thought Mrs. Craig divined the dan
ger, and, seizing a revolver in each hand,
rushed down the front stairs and back through
the ball - toward the entrance to the jail.
Wh9i within a fey feet of the door, she dis
covered Leland outside, calling for the others
to follow, and immediately cocked one of the
revolvers and fifed at him. The shot was
true, the ball entering Leland’s left side,
piercing the Intestines, and producing a mor
tal wound. Unfortunately it did not produce
-instant death. With horrid imprecations the
wounded man turned upon the heroine and
dealt her a cruel blow on the head with a bil
let of wood which foiled her to the floor. By
this time young Fish appeared with a re
volver and Area, the shot taking effect in Le
land’s left shoulder. At almost the same in
stant Leland, who had in some way obtained
a pistol, fired at Fish, inflicting a mortal
wound in his bowels. Fish flea, however,
was pursued by Leland through the hall, out
at the front door and around the corner of the
building, where he either fell down or was
knocked down. Mrs. .Craig saw Leland deal
him a heavy blow on the head after he was
down with the same billet of wood which
Lad felled her; but cannot say whether he had
struck him before or not. From the fact
that the marks of a single blow were found
on his skull, it is supposed that he stumbled
and fell in his endeavor to escape from hia
pursuer, and that Mrs. C. saw the fatal and
only blow given. , ,
As soon as Mrs. Craig could release her
self she rushed out at the front door and
cave the alarm. Returning from the murder
of Fish, Leland forced her back through the
hall into a side-room, and called for the
other prisoners who were in the plot to come
on. Barker, who came out at first with
Leland, paid some little attention to Mrs.
Craig, down whose face blood was streaming,
and protected her until eighteen prisoners in
all had made their exit, and then fled. An
hour later be was recaptured and brought
back to the jail, and if the quick, heartfelt
fbantm of a true and brave woman avail any
thing, John Barker was well repaided for
thin little show of humanity on meeting Mrs.
Craig.
All this was the work of a few seconds.
Eighteen desperadoes had escaped, Mrs. Craig
was severely injured, her brother Harry was
lying without, in the agonies of death,and her
husband was locked in a cell, at the mercy of
the prisoners. He was shortly releasod, how
ever, and, with his assistance, Harry was
; brought into the.building. In a half .hour he
was dead.
Deputy Sheriff Springer, who was coming
up Fifth street in the vicinity of the jail,
beard the alarm, and saw several of the fu
gitives running toward the court-house, ana
gave chase. In the neighborhood of Buell’s
Woolen-mill, on Third street, he captured
Chilson. A short time afterward Officer Al- i
lison, assisted by volunteers, diacovered :
John Barker ensconced under a back portion ,
•of the mill, snapped a revolver at him, and i
was about to try again when Barker begged i
him not to fire, crawled out and surrendered :
himself. . ,
Owing to the wbunds which he received,
Ldand was unable to make much progress,
and was shortly overtaken and brought back
in a dying condition. He was laid on the
floor in the office of the jail, just at the feet
of the corpse of his victim, and medical aid
rendered. The application of restoratives re
vived him slightly,but he was only able to ut
ter two or three audible words. Shortly after
wards he was removed to his old cell, and as
the iron doors closed after him the clangor ' ■ Another Active lunar Crat

“Ah English-Irish Landlord” writes tb the
London Ymeamrelation tothe pastmnd
present condition of Ireland. His letters’ pur
port to give l'aelßy but should be taken with
allowance. The following are interesting
passages: ■ " ’ ’ x .
"It may give some idea of the physical state
of the country if I give some facts "about the
district I know best —L e., the large district
extending seventy or eighty miles to the west
of Cork. Seventy years ago the post. went
into it once a fortnight, but then only as far
as Bandon—twenty miles. There was n 9
post any further, and the district fifty or sixty
mileß off did without. Theroads, little better
than rocky paths, went up and down hills as
steep as it was possible for a horse to travel.
A gentleman living thirty-five miles from
Cork told me it used to take him in summer
from early in the morning till dark to get
home, with four horses. If he did not start
till breakfast time it was a good journey to
be home by midnight. He usually walked
himself, beating his carriage by hours. His
next neighbor, twelve miles further, had to
make two days of it. When he got near
home there was a part of the road that it was
impossible for horses to drag a carriage up
a sort of stairs of rock—so word was sent be
fore that the master was coming, ana tenants
and laborers turned out to meet him, and
dragged the carriage up this rock by .mam
force, while the homes had enough to do to
get up themselves. ’ •'
“This place was called ‘The Leap. The
-King’s-writ-sraa considered, useless, beyond
that place, and to this day a saying remains
in the country, ‘Beyond the leap, beyond the
law.’ Great tracts wereinaccessible to wheels,
and all horse-work was done by panniers
oh the horses’backs- Illicit stills flourished
everywhere, because kegs of. whisky were
parried so much easier than com in bulk. A
friend who undertook the improvement of an
estate of eleven thousand acres, in 1822 told
me no wheeled vehicle had then ever entered
it, and once, at first, having, lost himself on
the estate snipe shooting, they had to send
two miles for the man who could speak
English to tell hips the way homo.
“Whatcarts there were had found dies of
wood for wheels. A clergyman still living
told me when he got his parish—a large one
mow,- having hundreds of -carts in it—there
were three carts in the parish that had spoke
wheels. When these were seen along the
road, peojjlmftfould leave their work some
fields cfltogo and look at the wonder;
"Even twenty-five years ago a plough was
seldom seen, except with a gentleman or
near a town. , There were things called
ploughs, of the fashion of the Romans, or,
more ancient still, that would scratch the
soil, hut with which no art of man could
turn a furrow. In 1788 Arthur Young de
scribed horses drawing such ploughs by their
tails. At that time, turnips or clover were
nearly unknown in the district. Turnips
were never grown except by gentlemen, and
clover orgrass seeds of any kind were only
sown in small patches. Com crops were
taken, year after year, as long as the land
would grow any; and then it was left to rest,
as it was called — i. e., to grow weeds and
nothing else, till a skin formed that could be
pared and burnt for potatoes and com again.
All this is now wholly changed.
"When I first knew the country, thirty or
thirty-five years ago, any idea of improving
an estate or its tenants was scouted by every
one as an impossibility, the dream of an en
thusiast. It did seem a very hopeless task,
with the country overran with population, in
this district not tenants but laborers. Very
seldom the old potatoes held out till the new
crop was ripe, and begging and starvation for
a month or twQ, and sometimes longer, were
the consequence. Fever was regular every
summer more or less. The first charity I took
part in was getting a fever hospital built, and
direly was it wanted. Now it is never used
j unless for cholera.
“It I said over night I wanted fifty men
for a job of work there woufd be one hun
dred waiting next morning begging for em
ployment; and" the wages sixpence per day.
1 paid eightpence, and was thought a model
of liberality. It was a great mass of poverty
that you seemed to make no impression on,
do what you would to relieve it. It appeared
just to close in upon you again on all sides
as if nothing had been done.
“It was the most hopeless, dispiriting
woik conceivable, and, looking back on it, I
do not know how one faced it, and can won
der at no one who gave it up in despair.
! And this went on until the famine twenty
; years ago.

We have recently’lftp’or* attention called
to the case of a poor widow, who is an ap
plicant for a pension from the United States,
that to us proves either that red tape is very
liberally used in the Pension Department, or
else the Barnacle family have desks in the of
fice of and influence with the Commissioner.
The facts are as follows: In November, 18W,
One John Bascom, of Company A, Seventh
Regiment Wisconsin Volunteers, being sick
in hospital, was given a furlough to come
home and vote for President. The poor
man arrived here on the very .day of elec
tion, was taken to the polls, deposited his
ballot, went home, and died there _ within
a few days afterward; of course, he did not
return to the hospital at the expiration ot his
furlough, and, not returning, was reported
“absent without leave.” Captain Cooper,
Provost Marshal of the district,took evidence
of the facts and reported them to headquar
ters. The widow applied for the pension she
was entitled to, and having proved that she
had been lawfully maraied, that she
had always lived with her husband, that he
had no other wife, that he died while in the
service of the United States,her agent advised
her that she would get her pension; alter
some months had elapsed the pension certifi
cate did not come, but instead the widow
received a notice from the Department
that she must send in the affidavit of the un
dertaker who buried her husband, proving the
fact of his death and burial. This was sent.
Some .months after she received another no
tice requiring the affidavit from .the physician
who attended her husband in his last sickness
proving with what disease he died, *his
was sent. Some months afterward she re
ceived another notice requesting her to prove
the healthy condition of the deceased when
he entered the service. The fact that he had
been examined by the proper medical officer,
had been accepted as a healthy man and had
served for a very long time of course proved
nothing, bo this desired evidence was sent.
But the end of the red tape is not
yet reached. The poor woman is
now required to prove what disease her hus
band had when he was sent from his regiment
to the hospital. As the'regimenta! and hos
pital records are in the possession of the
proper officers of the Government, and as it
must be evident that this widow can know
nothing but what those records prove, the
value of the evidence called for must be ap
parent. Still, although the soldier, has been
dead over three years, and although the gov
ernment has within its control all the cvi
deuce there can be on • the subject, the
widow’s claim for a pension is suspended and
will be until she can find some one who will
swear what the disease was that afflicted her
husband and caused him to be sent from bis
regiment to the hospital.
Royni Encouragement ot Gamblers.
The Paris correspondent of the London Tel
egraph says:
“I hear wonders of the pleasures and gay
etiesof the‘winter quarters’ of idle Europe;
and I have before me now a list published by
‘Lc Syndicat de la Ville de Pau,’ which con
tains thirty-nine octavo pages devoted to the
names of strangers from afar, whose visit
must materially add to the wealth of that salu
brious little town, from which you can hunt
the wily fox in the day and hold honors at
night, if it so pleases the Diva Fortuna who
presides over the solemn rites ot whist.
Apropos, it is pleasant to know that the
world is not so moral as it promised to be. I
rejoice with a great joy—though I never go
there,and would as soon gotoMabllle astobe
seen in a Kuxsaal with a pack of horse jock
eys, gamesters and blaicklegs—that the king
of Prussia has so far repudiated the Bis
marekian policy as to give a fresh conces
sion for live years to the play-tables of
i Wiesbaden and Ems. A fine of £210,000 is
| to be levied for the renewal of the lease.
1 After this, of course, all idea of Baden col
| lapsing is at an end; and no doubt we shall
I go there to assist at the Olympic Revels of
j the plains of ‘Oils’ for as many years as we
are allowed to go anywhere. It is curious to
I note how very unwilling even the most moral
j governments are to give up that certain and
1 willingly-paid revenue which is derived trom
■ gambling. I remember that when Garibaldi
; took Naples, the first act of his power was to
j do away with the ‘realc lotto;’but, witbin a
! few weeks after the regular government had
j taken possession of the city, the lottery w aß
'in full vigor again. When the king of Pruß
i sia and Herr von Bismarck were at Baden as
visitors, they Objected to ‘trente et quarante,’
roulette, and the coterie attracted by them;
but, now that they have tables of their own,
like wise men, they are not ashamed to own
themselvee wrong, and cry ‘Messieurs, faites
votre jeu! ’ ” .
Present Condition of Art in Urecce.
At the last meeting of the Institute of
British Architects the following letter was
received from Signor Kaftangioglu, architect,
dated at Athens, December 20, 18G7:
“I wish to give you some account of art at
Athens, knowing the interest you take in the
subject. After the fall of King Otho, art lost
a great protector at Athens, and I was
myself obliged to resign my appointment as
director of the School of Bine arts, which is
now in the hands of the military engineers.
In revenge I WKB happily charged by
the executors of a rich individual _to
execute my project for a School of the Fine
. Arts, called Polytechnic, at a cos? of .080,000.
Pour years are passed since it was com
menced. The sub-basement, all the columns,
the cornices, windows, are ofPentelic mar
ble. The plan ofthe edifice is divided into
three separate blocks; three-fourths are now
built, and I hope to cover it in the course of
the year. The elevation has a length of
about three hundred and thirty feet English;
in fact, it is the largest building now con
structing at Athens. Besides this Poly
technic Behool, we are erecting a Museum
for Antiquities; after the plan of a German
architect, Professor Lange, of Munich, The
expense will be met by a rich Greek at St.
Petersburg, M. Tosigon, aud a Candiot lady,
Madame Bernardachi.
work also of an Academy of Litera
' ture will be soon resumed, after having been
suspended for some time; it is building by
Kansan, at the expense of the rich Greek
■i banker Sina; Of 7 Vienna. “ The Arehceolbgical'
society have decided, with the money raised
* bymeanßof a lottery, upon laying open the
remains of' the Temple of Apollo at Delphi,
which, as you know, are covered by the
houses of the village. But unfortunately the
, money acquired, amounting to XS.OOO, b not
i sufficient to buy up the village. Neither

Senate.— Evminn Seasioit. —The special Older
was the’consideration of tho Free Railroad law.
Oavernor Geary, the Deputy Secretary, the State
Treasurer, the Auditor-General, tho Adjutant-
General. and other officers AT the Stale gorern
ment appeared as spectators, ,tho Governor oc
cupying the seat of Senator Lowry,upon the floor.
Two Free Railroad hllli were before the Senate.
One of these had been.prepared by the committee'
of the Senate, and the other ; already passed by
the House. The former required .«i«,000 per
mile to be subscribed, and the latter Sid,o(H).
A discussion sprung up as to which of the blhs
should be considered, and Mr. London moved
that the Senate bill, with some, amendments oi his
own, should bd taken up, l to the exclusion of the
Bouse bill. This wtys agreed to. . , • .-•
Mr Searhtht moved to amend, that local roads,
not over thirty mßea Jong, be aUowed
mence, when farmers ond residents on the line
“ have subseritKid six thousand dollars per mile.
N Thc g Semite bill fixing the subscription at ten
thousand dollars per mile was then agreed to.

Adjourned without a vole,
House of , IIKjPBKaEXTATivKS.—Mr. Thom
called np the resolution from tho Senate offering
a reward of $2,000 for the arrest of the murderers
of John Casey, in Clearfield county, late a wit
ness before a contested election committee of the
Pennsylvania Senate, and supposed to have been
murdered on account of having given evidence
relative to Qaudulent voting. '
Tho special order of the day was the considera
tion oi the bill of Mr. Bnll, providing for an In
spector of Gas Metres In this State. (The bill
has been pubished In full.)
Mr. Thom offered a lengthy manuscript sub
stitute for the bIU.
Mr. Bull said that the substitute came from
the enemies, of tho people, and also from the
friends of the Gas Trust. It sbowd him that the
vultures had been about. and that they sought to
pick the eyes out of his bill. Tho press had an
nounced a reduction of the gas rate in Philadel
phia, for the Trustees had become alarmed, and
were beginning to draw in their, canvas. The
substitute of Mr. Thom did not contain the pro
vision that the consumer might contest exorbi
tant bills dr that an auditor should be appointed
bv the courts to examine ihe accounts of
the Trustees. Bills bad actually been
rendered by the Trustees for $4O, $5O,
$5O, " amj. even $lOO, iyhaa not one .cubic toot
had been trained, and the affairs of the concern
had been managed and manipulated by the Trus
tees in their own wav. The statement that the
high rate in Philadelphia waa owing to the high
price of coal was false, as the Trustees well knew.
The price In Pittsburgh was one dollar and sixty
cents per thousand feet,and In Philadelphia it was
three dollars. The' trhth was,' the coal was the
smallest, . item, of . the manufacture. The
Trustees, in a report made In 1862, had
given evidence against themselves. One
ton of coal producod 20,160 feel of gas.
The coal coat |G 50, and the gas was sold for
$604 80, and the remaining coke for ®2 10. Lime
was reaily eme of the heaviest Items, and it was
cheaper inPhiladelphia tkan in Pittsburgh. In
1867 the consumption in Philadelphia was over
PB6 million leet, being an Increase of 50 per cent,
over the amount In 1862, five years previously.
This Increase was to be attributed to the low
standard of the gas consumed, which, by actnal
test, was bntseven candles,while the.average
throughout the world of ga*properiy mado was
16 candles, In other words the gas In Philadel
phia was 40 per cent, below par. The people de
manded a remedy for this state of affaire.
Sir. Thom said that the gentleman hadjuo busi
ness to connect him with tho Gas Trust. The
substitute was the result of the labors of scientific
men In Philadelphia.
In Pittsburgh coal coat $1 95 per ton, and gas
was $1 60 per thousand feet; in Cincinnati coal
was $4 per ton, and gas $2 objper thousand feet,
and in Philadelphia coal was $8 per ton and gas
$2 70 per thousand feet Taking these figures as
a basis, gas, was supplied cheaper in Philadelphia
than in any of the other places. The reason why
the Trustees had reduced the rate was because
last year their profits were $209,000, and their
savlng_on coal was $170,000.
Mr. Ford (Allegheny) explained why gas-, waa
cheap in Pittsbnigh. It was because the charter of
the company prohibited any higher late than
$1 60 per thousand feet The city had originally
owned the works, and on parting with them had
made certain concessions, by which the company
had agreed to maintain the low rate. In Allegheny
City, just across the river fromJPittsburgh, the
price was $2 20.
Mr. Thom (Philadelphia) gave the following
figures of the cost of gas in different cities:—
N. Y. Gas Co $3 50 Jersey City....... .$3 50
Manhattan 2 75 Boston 3 25
Metropolitan 3 50 Albany... 3 75
Harlemj. 4 00 Buffalo... 3 50
Cincinnati 2 62 Chicago 3 75
Louisville % IS St. Louis 4 30
A11egheny........ 2 20 Wilmington 3 50
Pittsburgh 1 60 Baltimore 3 25
Washington...... 3 50 i .
The average of the above was $8 26j£.
The above figures will include government tax’
Mr. Thorn said that loanholders had a remedy
against the Trust if It was mbmanaged, by ap
plication to the courts. .
Mr. Bull said that the hod forgotten
a recent decision of the courts on the subject.
Mr. Davis (Speaker) believed that popular sen
timentin Philadelphia required some legislative
action. He thought there should bo an In
spector, hat that the bill should be made as per
fect as possible, and that the substitute should
be printed and laid before the members for action
at some definite time.
ja!6tb.6t*_
The bill was ordered to be printed, and laid
over for the present.
The following bills were considered:
One repealing the act appointing phonograph
«r» to District‘Courts.
Mr. Bull urged ah amendment defining the
duties of such reporters.
The amendment was lest. Teas 38, nays 53.
The bill was then passed. Yeas 49, navß 41.

By consent of Mr-. Johnson, Mr.. Moimnx, of Maine,

the forcible ejectment of on employe of the Senate

Mr. Sumksb, of .Massachusetts, read a statement
from a Washington newspaper in regard to the occur
rence. and sald he bad seen toe surgeon that'hud at
tended the person, who described the condition of the
“person, the female attendant of the ladles 1 gallery;":
as very serious. He agreed with the newspaper in
characterising .too outrage asdaeturdly, and .Bifid the
question was whether It should be allowed to pass
without some endeavor to reach the offender; which
was the railroad company, unless the act of Its agent
was disavowed, . .
Mr. CoynsEss; of California, sympathised with the
statement made by the Senator, was ready to go as far
as he or any other Senator in patting on end to this
system of cowardly treatment to unoffending persons

lour weeks since the outrageous wxest qr.ctttzens of

the United sstan'S baatalieffplace in'-the-terrttory of
Great Britain. Those citizens have been incarcerated
in idtihgeons. They have been tried and convicted.
In many instances, I have -no doubt, by juries se
lected for their conviction, and they have beeu'eent to
the hulks. „ ,
Mr. Davis Inquired whether the outrages were
against blacks or whites. -[Laughter.] 1
jMr. Cokkess said he was not Informed, but whethor
black or white It was an outrage against the Ameri
caninameand nation.
, Mr. Davis made an Inaudible remark, and Mr. Con
nbss proceeded, saying that if the chivalrous Senator
from Kentucky (Mr. Davis), ana those who acted with
him political];, wonld jom, them, upon the general
proposltfon’or freedom and protection to alL' discord
, wotild ceirsc In this nation to-day. He (Mr. Conness)
was In earnest upon tills subject. . When it was before
the Senate on a previous occasion the Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs had. spoken as an
American Senator should speak, but that Senator was
then reminded that it wasnotwcll that there should
be any delay In tho expression of opinion that eheuld
go out from an American Senator when citizens were
deprived of their liberty, mid outraged for the ex
pression of their convictions in favor of human lib
erty.
. Mr. Sumxeb—ls tho Senator aware of any delay?
Mr. Conness said ho was aware of one ffionth's
delay, during which no word had been uttered by the
Senate, its legitimate mouthpiece, the Chairman of
tho Committee of Foreign Affaire, on thin question.
He was glad that the Senator and others had rushed
forward to defend an unprotected female - against this
infamous outrage, bnt hand in hand with this should
go an expression Of opinion that wools make the
premier of Great Britain understand that there wag a
power hero that wonld be exercised in defense of na
tional rights and national pride; Silence at times, be
comes men, and indicates strength and power; bat
only when they arc getting ready for a straggle. -
Mr. SuMNEB salif he wonld not follow the Senator
in topic nor sentiment in tbia debate, which was
simply breed on an inquiry into an outrage within
sight of this Capitol, in which fellow-citizens and im
mediate neighbors were in question; He did not un
derstand the Senator to object to that lnqniry.
Mr, Conness— Not at ail.
Mr. Bckbeb—“Not at all” he aavs. lam glad of
it. We want bismaslstance to crush ont these out

Mr. ttifiNEn^-TWSenator siwl'we have always had
'lt Very well; we always want It But now the Sena
tor comes forward to arraign the committee, with
which lam aasoeiated, for a case of (opposed indif
ference or inattention towards a matter now pending.

it willshow constant activity on the part of this gov
ernment on the subject of the tights'of the citizens
of this government, whether naturalized or native
bom. Unices I am misinformed, the Senator
from California will be satisfied wjth the
conduct of oar government in regard, to these cases.
But the report has not been received! *Mr. Sumner
went on to say that the Secretary of State had In
formed him last Saturday that the correspondence
entailed on jhe Department on this subject being very
extensive, bo had not clerical force enough to copy the
papers for the use of Congress, in order to famish the
report, without more assistance. He repeated that the
investigation wre proceeding aa fsat: a* possible, and
assured the Senator, that It would be corned on to the
end. He did not know that the Senator had a mo
nopoly of sensibilities in regard to the rights of his
fellow-citizens, naturalized or native bom.
Mr. Conness—Not at ali.
Mr, Suxneb continued, saying, that athcr Senators
hero were notl less sensitive when the rights of
American citizens were in question. The matter
wonld be fully considered by the ocimmittee, as doubt
less it wonld be by the Secretary of State. It was too
important a question, however, to.act upon without
consideration; they could not precipitate a report
nor a vote; they most wait: the result of the/very In
vestigation which the Senator from California had so
licited. If any of oar,citizens have been wroDgcd
abroad, he continued, let ub reach with onr strong
arms across land and ocean to protect them, hat let
us not • fall to reach down to the humble and lowly
that are at onr feet, and lift them up also.
Mr. Davis, after some remarks _ abouti the capacity
ot the negro for civillzationand citizenship, fmlv'eon
enrred In thh remarks of the Senator from California
(Mr. Conness). The government of the United States
should Insist that the fullest rights of expatriation
should be conceded. -
Hr. Conness said that Great Britain stioefid be made
sensible that the American government was not merely
sensitive, but firmly resolved on the subject. She
should be given to understand that If she did not make
proper reparation the; American flag would be carried:
from the Paclflc to Nova Scotta. Nothing but that
reparation could prevent that being the history of the
era we live In. I
Mr. Yates, ot Illinois, said that the Senator. from
Kentucky and his friends did not appreciate the pro
gress of events, and reminded them that al) in this
country were citizens, English, Dish, Spaniards, and
negroes, by tho Declaration of American Independ
ence.
Mr. Drake, o£ MlssoiuVwas in favot of puffing a
stop to these outrages at once. No one could be ac
nuainied with the victim of this outrage without be
ing impressed with her superior character, haring no
more of the appearance of a negro than many who
movc in the test society in Washington.
Mr. bl'MNKii produced a communication from the
Secretary of the Bailroad Company, stating that its
aSairs are in the hands of a receiver, to whom the
recent outrages are to be attributed, and disavowing
any responsibility. That receiver was appointed by
Judge Thomas, a rebel, of Alexandria, Virginia. The
letter recited the circumstances attending the out
rage, and said that but for the facta stated the stock
holders would eject the rebel scoundrels from their
places. ,
Mr. Cbaoik, of New Hampshire, said the receiver
was no rebel scoundrel, hut a loyal man and a friend
of bis.
Mr. Johnson hoped the facts were not true. If they
were, there should be a remedy provided. If any suen
cases had occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio Kail
read he had not heard of them, and he had no objec
tions to an inquiry. He urged tne taking up of the res
olution in relation to Mr. Thomas, of Maryland.
Mr. Harlan moved to amend the resolution by re
ferring the matter to the Committee on the Judiciary,
instead of the Committee on the District of Columbia.
Mr. Conkldsg, of New York, said that the Judiciary
Committee should not be made the waste-paper bas-
tor ench resolutions. In this resolution no ques
• tion of law was involved, but only a question of fact
Sir. Hendricks said the benate should either make
the inquiry in order to vindicate its employes, or to
see whether the laws shonld be changed to meet such
cases, and he therefore thought it was a
matter for the Judiciary Committee. Even
the question as to who was . the party de
fendant in such cases shonld be settled by that com
mittee, if such questions could be properly Eettled by
the Senate of, the TTnUed fStates, which he denied.
The suggestion waS made that tho case had occurred
in Virginia, which the Senator from New York (Mr.
Oonklmg) had said made no difference. Of course
it did not, as they were going on now in legislation.
This was Very interesting but entirelyseneational. If,
as the Senator from Massachusetts said, this was
covered by the civil rights bill, why introduce this
resolution if not for sensation! There was a sufficient
remedy, he contended. in the conrts. If referred to
the Judiciary Committeesho would give! the Senator
from New York such assistance as he could, but he
suggested that a competent lawyer would be the proper
person to decidetsto, who,should be the party de
fendant ijfl t f.
Mr. Frattnsainrv'HKV of New Jersey.'advocated
a reference to the Committee on the District of Co
lnmbU. ~ „
Hr Nte, of Nevada, called attention to, the charter
which was given’that railroad company on the con
dition that there should be no exclusion on account
of race or color. He thought in that view the Com
mittee-on: the JMstrictyof ■ Columbia was the proper
reference to see whether they had hot forfeited that
charter.
: The amendment tp referto the Judiciary Committee
wUb then lost, and the ' original resolution was
adopted.
On motion of Mr. Johnson, of Maryland,, the case
Of his colleague (Mr. ; Thomas) was made the special
order for the morning hour to-morrow.
Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, offered a resolution
calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for espies
of all communications to him from the Commissioner
of Internal Bevenuc in regard to the removal or ap
pointment of asseesors or collectora since June, 1887,
with; the action, if any, taken thereon. Adopted.
The Senate went Into Executive session, and • after
sometime adjourned: - - 1

The regular annual discussion over toe appropria
tions for the Agricultural-Department; ; tnd parties

in the discussion, which was but a repetition of too
same old tune of former years, with araw variations,
Mr: Donnelly, ofMinuesota, moved to amendlthe
bill.by inserting items for the Department Of Educa
tion to the amount of $11,600. He made an argument
in support of the amendment, showingtoe Importance
of the department, and that if no appropriations were
made for the purpOse,it would work iiSepeiffi l Of.t ithe l
act constituting ft. He understood that toe reason
for omitting appropriations for it was that there was
some dissatisfaction with the gentleman who had been
appointed Commissioner. - - ,*. '!;■'%> V— _ ,
Mr. Fbuyn, of New York, supported tho amend
ment, and spoke in high terms of Mr. Barnard, the
WmmiMioner. - ;;

THE DAILY; EVENIN.G B^LLETINs—PHIL ADiIiFjB|A, THURgpiky, FEBRUARY' 1863;
Mr. SpAMiiKrf, of Ohio, expressed his regret that
the acting Chairman of tthe Committee on Appropria-'
tifisa imd felt eetoi upo-lro reflect on the character
of the Commissioner. - . . ; ■
Mr. Wasiir.PßNK disclaimed doing so.
Mr. SPAxmtNO referred to the remark abont his
doing business over a restaurant.
Mr. Wasiibvenb did cot' know, that that was any
gre»t objection, for the Bouse of Representatives did
business over a restaurant., [Laughter.]- <
Mr. Wood, of New York, said he would very cheer
fully vote against the amendment it the infect , of
omtttitog the appropriation' Would be to aMHlsh the
Department of Education. He had nothing.to say
Xinet the gentleman who filled the office of Obturate
ier, but he could And no authority In the Constitu
tion for the establishment of ariy suoh department, 1
and he feared that the department itself would fall
Into Improper hands and, be used for improper pur
poses. • .
. Mr. Oshfiem),of Ohio,declining to go Into the ques
tion of the constitutionality of the law reorganize the
Depai tment of Education, said that that law had
passed the House by an almost party vote, every con
stitutional gentleman like the gentleman from New
York (Mr. Wood) voting against it, and the majority
party In the Honee voting almost unanimoosly for it,
while in the Scnnteit’had passed without the yeasand
nays.”' - -
Mr. WAsrmunNE nrgued against the amendment,
and said that if the Department of Education were
continued it would require appropriations fornext
year to the amount of 830,076, and it would soon grow
to 8100,000.
Mr. OAitFiEUD, of Ohio, who was the author of the
MU creating the Department of Education, said that
no single act of the last Congress had been more
favorably commented upon by the civilized world than
that act One of the leading members of the Honee
of Lords bad moved last December that a Department
of Education be created in Great Britain, and hod
made a most elaborate and searching speech on the
subject, and that bill wbb now pending fora hearing.
Without disposing of the amendment, the Com
mittee, at half-past four o'clock, rose, and the House
