tion—that ordinances passed hereafter by
Conventions in those States shall be enforc
ed by the provisional ,authorities until the
pleasure of Congress sballbe known, es-
tablishing an entirely new precedent. The

conflict between them and the military
commanders, was to beebeyeti by the peo
ple. The only semblance of a fair election
In Arkansas had been the , result- of the in
terference of the military authorities, who'
overruled a :passionate and ill-advised or

large number of people from votingen the
new constitution. • • " •
, CONICLING asked Mr.",Buckalew to

CHOLERA CABER..
Several cases of cholera. including three
deaths, have occurred in what is known as
the Spouty district, a portion of the city
bounded by 62d and 70th streets, and 80th
and 10th avenues, occupied by squatters.
\Tbe condition of the - neighbethood is
wretched, and the foul air arisingl from
stagnant water and thillthy habits of the
residents have been tcause of the dis
ease. The Bpard of Health have already
abated the nuisance and thoroughly purl
fled the district by ;disinfectants.: The
cases which have occurred are not numer

eastern frontiers of the United States.- •
GEN. BUTLER DEFENDS HIMSELF
The speech' which Gen. Butler obtained
leave to print to-day in reply to Senator
Henderson charges the Senator with
choosing the Sabbath for his speech, for the
reason that he (Mr. Butler) had gone home,
and there would be, no reply. He (Mr.
lintler) had, however, been detained by an
accident. The Committee had made no
charge against the Senator. They only
carefully detailed the evidence before
'them. This evidence Mr. Butler
summarizes, and ' says It is the in
ference from these facts which 'seems to.
so enrage the Senator. When 'a Fowler
shoots at a black bird. or other winged
vermin in thicket, (says Butler,) he can
always tell by theAluttering in the bushes
whether the shot has told. The Senator
'flops. Ho (Mr. Butler) should treat the
Senates as Uncle Toby did the fly which he
caught buzzing about his oar. Carrying it
to the window, as he let it out of his hand
he pityingly said: "Go, poor devil, there is
room enough In the world for both thee and
me."
FRAUDS IN 'PAY DEPARTMENT.
The following is the conclusion of the
report of the Select Committee appointed
by the House to investigate the subject of
the alleged frauds in' the Pay Department:
"White irregularities are found, your

against any individual in either Depart

the Ministers of foreign pothers in Japan
had united in a protest against the revival

Christians. The war continued to rage.
with -muck violence. The troops of the
Mikado are in possession of all the ports
openedto foreigners by treaty. The brother
of Stets Bashi, the ex-Tycoon, was at the
head of a revolt against the spiritual Em
peror, and bad a large army under his com
mand, with which he was gradually ad
-yam:ling on Yeddo, in which city the party
of the Tycoon is very stronw. There had
been .some lighting betvieen the hostile
'forces in the vicinity of Yeddo, but no de
cisive successes are reported on either side.
It was thought the war- between the two

would result in a division of the country

by the Mikado and Tycoon.

Bold Robbery
On Sundayafternoon the Duquesne Hotel.
in the Eighth ward, Alleghen , was enter
ed by a thief who"gainedadmitt ee to one
of the upper chambers, and was r sacking
the apartment, going -through -bureau
,
draweri, &c., when he was interrupted by
Mrs. Myers. wife of the proprietor, who im
mediately raised the alarm, but the fellow
succeeded makinghis escape. Officers
Gabby and Kingan, of the AllCgheny police,
were furnished with a description of the
man, and in the evening they arrested him
in the vicinity of Troy Hill. He gave his
name as Allen, and says that he lives in a
small boat moored on the bank of the river
near the hotel. Mr. Myers at first supposed
he 'had lost nothing, but on making an
examination he missed a pocket book con
taining about sixty dollars, and as it was in
the bureau ransacked by the thief
.11 is sup
posed that he took it. Allen had a hearing
yesterday, and in default of V5OO bail he
was committed.
A Courageous .Womaa
Yesterday morning Mrs. Annie Slay
bough, residing on Carson otreet, Birnting
ham, was awakened between two and
three o'clock by a noise as if s.orne one
was prowling through the house. Getting
up and going into the entry she met a matt
with his arm full of provisions coming
from the kitchen. Seizing him she called
for her brother. who slept in an upper
chamber. The burglar at first triedlo break
loose from her grasp, but failing in tills
he dropped his load and dealt her a terri
ble blow with his first,which at once felled
her to the door. Recovering immediately
she took hold of him once more, but twice
the fellow, exasperated by her bravery
and determination, , struck her above the
temple with some instrument, inflicting a
very painful but not - serious wohnd, and
thus succeeded in malting, his escape be-
fore her brother could arrive.
Wlitch_Stoken
About twelve o'clock.yesterilay two men
went into a confectionary store on McKee
•iitreet, Birmingham, kept by Mrs. Samuel
Evans, and called for mineral water. Mrs.
Evana went to the cellar to get it for them
and men she returned they had departed.
She paid no .attention to the matter until
her husband came in. lie went to look at
a watch which was ustislly kept hanging
In the store,- to see whatitime it was, bnt the
watch was not there. iEfe asked his wife
what she had , done with it, which brought
to her . recollection the customers who' had
disappeared during her vigil. to the cellar.
It appears they knew. that the mineral
water was kept in the cellar and called for
.it merely as a ruse to* get the' lady - out of
the room to assist them in their 'pilfering
operations. No clue as to who the thieves
are has yet been obtained.
Serious Railroad.Aceident
An accident occurred On the Pennsyl

seriously injured that his recovery is dis
paired of. The fireman was not so seriously
injured, and will
.probably recover. The
Passenger trains on the road both east and
west were delayed at that point about two
hours.
Incendlarlbm:
yesterday morning a fire broke out in a
'small building occupied as a tobacco and
notion store by .1. M. Faber, and situated
near the junction of the. Greensburg pike
and Butler street, in the Sixteenth ward.
The fire was fortunately disoavered before
It tied Made much headway and the flames
promptly extinguished. The investigation
of the case by the Fire; Marshal, Maj. Mur
phy, developed the fact that the store had
been Sorcibly entered and the money draw
er relieved - of lea contents previous to the
breaking out of : the fire which leads to
the well-grounded supposition that it was -
the work of an incendiary. No clue as yet
has been obtained which would lead to the
apprehension of the guilty party.
Watch Recovered;''
Officer Gumbert yesterday arrested .Tho.
Shoyia'ter, who is charged with stealing a
,
watch valued at fi ft y dollars, a cost and
two dollars in money from Wm. rd'Hinley.
It appears that William was tired and laid
down Sunday evening on the bank 'Of the
river in East Birmingham to rest. Betook
his watch out of his pocket, put it in his
Coat laocket, and then put his _coat under
his head a pillow. When he a*oke his
his coat, watch and all were missing. - He
made the matter known tcs the officer, who
found where the watch bad been sold, and
getting a description of the man who sold
it, arrested him shortly afterward. He is
in the lockup and will have a hearing this
morning.
