Sax FRANCISCO, April 8.-The colitis=

to Yellow Jacket, owing to a cave which
the firemen were unable to reach. Er-- ,

reach the fire. Eighteen have
been taken out of the burninga mines,
nine of them from one drift. The Yel

Twitobell Weis . left An ee 4 11 'at two
o'clock by Rev. Mr. Bringhnrst, in com
pany with two Catholic priests, who had
been 'cm a visit 'to Eaton's eel': The
keepers had removed everything from
Twitchell's cell, except a tin cup, at which
Twitehell • smiled and made a Aticithirr
remark.
At two ' - minutes past five the wStelt
man found Twitehell apparently in a
deep sleep. He shook, him and found
life extinct. It has been asceitained that
Twitched was poisoned with strichnine.-
It appears Eaton was aware of Twitch
ell's intention to commit, suicide. : - A,
Kentleman who had a conversation with
Eaton this morning uys, 1301 / 1 0111136 last,
night the two men Were aliaived to 'hat e
an interview and Twitehell said: "Jerry.
you will have to go alone to-morrow; I'll
not be with yon; but mum's the word."
Afterwards' Eaton
,rerealed this stide
ment to the clergymen in attendance,
and -they thought it proper to inform the
officers of the Pr iso n TWitchell's cell
was thoroughly searched, and ev
erything removed with which he
might. injure injure himself,l even the

the poison concealed about him, or may
have already swallowed it. Farther ex
amination of the cell led to the discovery
of a piece of licorice root, which is sup.
Posed to have been impregnated with
poison.
Eaton took his farewell of his wife this
morning. It was an affecting scene. He

Mr. SPRAGUE spoke at length, warn
ing the people against the policy which,
if permitted to continue, must reduce
them to servitude and ruin. He 1030 gave
arebuke to the press for not being always
engaged in promoting the cause of free

statement of what he would do fibre were
President. He then read - an argument
in adVocacy of his bill to provide for
loaning public money. •
Mr. ANTHONY then took the floor s ,
.:but yielded to the motion to take a recess

may be entitled to them, without the In
tervention of claim agents.
Mr. WILSON called up the resolution-I
to place Gen. Heintzelman on the retired
list, which passed.
Mr. ANTHONY resumed the floor and
replied to Mr. Sprague. He ridiculed
the style and manner of his colleagne's
recent speeches, and said, notwithstand
ing the dreadful condition of our Na
tional affairs, with Mr. Sprague as leader
in finance, Mr. Colorado Jewett in diplo
macy, and Mr. George Francis Train in
general statesmanship, there was still
hope for the country, - [Laughter.]

mitten anient, deMering a violation
of this la wnisdemeanor,' punishable
by fine, imprisonment and disqualifica
tion from holding office, and opposed it
as punishing men for opinion's sake.
Mr. TRUMBULL defended the section
as disqualifying none not already dis-
qualified by the Fourteenth Amendment.
Mr. DAVIS also opposed the section as
designed merely to gratify' the revenge
ful feeling of human nature.
FESSENDEN, from the mmi

that his heart might soften to these
people.
Mr. WOODWARD said tbe minority
of the Reconstruction Com,mittee agreed
to this measure, not because they pre- .
ferred it, but because it was better than
any other they were likely to get, and
because they regarded it as more natut
al, more fraternal, and more likely to
restore Abe UniOn of the States•than any
heretofore proposed by the majority.
Mr. GARFIELD said the - minority
were somewhat in the condition of the
doctor who ands that the broken limb:of
his patient he been badly set, and it has
to be broken over again, so that it may
be set scientifically He did not believe
in breaking limbs brit was willing, un
der the circumstances, to break the limb
over again for getting It in better shape.
He had, ..at the suggestion of his col
league, Mr. Schenck, (occupying the
chair as S peaker fem,) drawn up an
amendment which, he thought, would
meet' the Views of the gentleman from
-Wisconsin. It was that the votes should
be taken either on each of the designated
provisions above, or in connection with
the other portion of the Constitution, as
the President might direct.
Mr. PAINE accepted that amendment
and withdrew his"own hubstitute.
amendment was agreed to.
Mr. GARFIELD, to show the unani
mity of the House on this subject, called
for the yeas and nays on the passage of
the bill. The vote was so taken -and the
bill was passed.—yeays 124, nays 24
The nays were Messrs Adams, Archer,
Biggs, Bird, Barr, Cleveland, Eldridge,

Mr. BINORAhI. iePetited his objections
to the. Reid* amendroenta.. He said it
was absurd that a man verging' on the
, age of seVenty years should be appoint-
each:Woof the Supreme Court taday
sufkaherdd beretained a month after ; on
Mi.;POLAND argued against the
jectiori of Mr. Bibgharn, and contended:
fhb bill as amended by the Senate was
better than the bill as it passed the House.
The discuesidn was continued by
Messrs. Poland, Butler, (Mass.) Bing-
br;lr
ham, Voorhees, Eldridge and Kerr. but
it was interrupted by
Mr. DAWES, who presented the con
ference report on the Indian appropria
tion bill. _
The Senate recedes from its amend
ment making appropriations under new
treaties, and agrees to the House substi
tute placing.B2,ooo,ooo at the disposal of
the President, with an additional pro
viso, =tin:lrking the President to ap
point it Commission of ten nersonS, emi
nent for 'their - intelligence and philan
thropy, to exercise joint eclat:tot with the
Secretary of the Interior over disburse
ments for Indians. The Senate also
agrees to the House amendment
declar
ing that nothing in, the bill, shall be con-,
,trued as approving or ratifying any. In
ch= treaty made'after July 20th, 1867.
Mr. DAWES =planed the report,
showing the principle for ' which the
House, had , contended was preserved.
He stated, in reply to - Mr. Lawrence, the
total amount appropriated inthe bill was
some live millions and in - reply to Mr.
Garfield, that the whole.thing was taken
out of the Indian Bureau and placed un
der the control ol.the President himself,
so that Ito other . person could spend a
'dollar of the sum. appropriated, unless
the President put it into his bands.
Mr. STARKE 7 inquired whether the
thdian Burean'had been abolished?
Mr. DAWES replied that its occupa
tion was gone. unless the President'
- should see tit, on his own motion and re
sponsibility, to make use of it. He fur
ther expressed his conviction that not
another Indian treaty would be made.
Mr. CLARK opposed the report as fail
,
ing to meet the Indian question, but' art
simply bridging,over the difficulty until
next session.
'Several other members took part in
the discussion.
Finally the previous question was
moved and seconded, and the report
adopted. '\
The discussion on the bill to amend the .
judicial system was then resumed.
Mr. KERR favored concurrence in the
Senate amendments.
Mr. SCHENCK said there were two
material points in the Senate amend
ments. One was
.postponing appoint
ments until December: He found there'
were now being banded around, all over
the city, papers to be signed, recent-
mending some one for Supreme Judge.
or Circuit. Judge. Chaffering was-VOW
on, bargaine beizig made, =oh as. "I will ,
go for your Collector or Assessor, if y_ozi
go for- my Judge." He' did not want
Judge* to be appointed at this time, and
in the midst:of such thing's. He thought.::
it better to wait till December. In the
meantime the merits of prominent
individiralein,difierent circuits weuld be
discussed and public opinion ',would be
concentrated on some 'particular-meat
Theotherpoint in the amendment was
the substitution ,of "resignation" . of
of •
Judges Instead of their "retirement"
without resignation. : That Was also an.
Luiptorement on the House proposition,
with the exception that the Senate prop.'.- -
:oration '" not provide' for any— ,
length of services. - ' Ha proposed that--
the House concur -in, the Senate
amendments, exceSin that one, and in:.
sert in that the words "who having held '
his commission as such at least ten
years," so it will read "any Judge who, '
having held his position as such at least
ten years, and shall have arrived at the •
age.of seventy years, may be. permitted
to resign."
After some farther discussion, Mr.
Schencli's amendment was agreed to.
and'the Senate'amendments as amended
were concurred in.
The contested election case from the
Third Pennsylvania District was consid
ered, without action.
Mr. KELLY Introduced .a bill to pro-.
mote the establishment of an interna
tional metrical system of coinage. Re
ferred.
The bill allowing an ,appropriation for
the Springfield, Illinois, Custom House
for the next fiscal year to be used foi this
year, passed:
