House. Among the bills acted on, were
the following: The Senate bills granting
appeals from, and authorizing the issue of
writs Of error to the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, in certain cases there
i'll named.
Mr.. Ingersoll of H., moved to lay the bill
on the table, arguing that it was intended for
the benefit of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Co. agreed to.
The Senate bill requiring the Postmaster
General to prescribe an earlier time for the
execution OF contracts by accepted bidders,
and for other purposes, was passed, and other
Senate bills were referred to the Committee
on Appropriations.
Mr.. Schenck of Ohio by unanimous con-
sent, and after explanation introduced joint
resolution, providing that all persons duly
elected to office in Texas, shall have thirty
days from the 10Th of April, 1871, in which
to file the oath of Office prescribed in the act
of March 30th. 1870, passed.
Mr.. Schenck rose to move to go into the
Committee of the Whole on the Tariff bill,
but Mr.. Judd of H., before the putting of
special orders in the Committee of the Whole
be postponed until after the consideration of
the general calendar in that committee. He
had no disguise in stating to the House that
his purpose was to pass over the Tariff bill
and reach bill introduced by himself, which
consisted of but three sections, and which re-
duced the tariff and internal taxes; that was
the object, intent and purpose of his asking
to postpone all special orders, that the House
might judge whether that a proper
course. 1t wonld he necessary to look at the
condition of the business. The House had
been in session since the fourth of Dec, and
it was now the first of May, and no bill had
yet been acted upon reducing the burdens of
the people. In the present condition of the
business of the House and from the manner
in which the business had been conducted SO
far, he asked the House to consider whether
before adjournment, any such state of affairs
would be brought about.
Mr.. Cox of New York remarked that the
gentleman from Illinois was attacking the ad-
mnistration for direliction of duty for not
reducing taxation.
At four o'clock after an animated discus
sion between Messrs. Judd, Schenck, Logan
and Cox, Mr.. Judd's resolution was rejected,
and the House adjourned

discovered. On the person of Beaun was found
large sum of money. a revolver and a letter
from London from a man who was implicated
in similar plot in February last. This letter
and the confession made by Beaun leaves no

citation of Workmen were arrested this after
noon. The police found upon their persons a
complete list Of adherents to the plot, and the
authorities are now securing the city for these
persons. Great military and police precau-
tions are being taken tonight.
Several persons implicated, finding that the
plot had been discovered, succeeded in effect
ing their escape from France.
Owing to the vigorous censorship full par
tlculars are wanting.
Cernnschie has been expected from France.
The Arch Bishops of Tours, Nevers and

Mr.. Chas. T.. Bailey, residing on State St.,
in this city, died very suddenly in his bed yes
teraay morning. His wife awoke about four
o'clock and found him apparently in great
distress; she spoke to him, but no answer was
returned. She then alarmed the household
and some of the neighbors, and DR.. Hill was
sent for. Mr.. Bailey did not appear uncon-
scious, but was deprived of all power to speak,
and died before the physician reached the
house, who pronounced his disease palsy of
the heart. Mr.. Bailey removed from Sidney
to this city few months ago, was largely en-
gagged in the sale of hay and produce, and it
is thought that business care and anxiety
helped develop the disease that ended his life
SO suddenly. He was about forty years of age.
