Mr.. Haven was dignified and earnest.
Mr.. Garrison, we fear, approximated
a little to the bullying spirit, which
his school was wont to call 'planta-
ton manners when displayed by
Southerners in defense of slavery. He
went so far as to threaten not Sc

Sale of Cadetship.

EThe investigation into the sale Of
cadetships is beginning to bear fruit,
and the committee Monday reported
evidence in WhittemOre's case with a
resolution for his expulsion from the
House II got nOised about, between
two and three o. clock, that they were
going to do this, and the galleries
were soon filed with eager spectators,
who sat with more or less patnicce till
the other business was out of the way,
and General Logan rose TO a question
of privilege. Everybody at once un-
derstOOd what this meant, and there
was an instant hush in The galleries,
and a settling into the seats by men,
bers on the floor, while i number Of
Senators came in and took the vacant
chairs. 1t took about hal an hour to
read the testimony, which was sub
mitted in full, and followed by a state
ment made in the committee on Sat
urday by WhittemOre himself. The
case against this ex-chapIain, ex-Bu-
reau Agent and reverend politician is
clear enough. One of his cadetships
netted five hundred dollars, and the
other something over 900. In one
case the money was paid directly TO
him, and in other 1t seems to have
been handed to one of his friends
He denies having used any of it for his
personal use, but admits that it paid
campaign bills, school expenses and
elief accounts in his district The
judgment of the committee which sus-
tanned the report by a unanimous vote
of nine members is that this fact, even
/ If it be a fact, affords no palliation Of
the guilt whatever. They were set to
find out if there had been a traffic in
cadeIships; and how the bargain mon
ey was used is, Is in their opinion, a
question of little consequence. In this
case WhittemOre probably got good
deal of credit for Iiberality TO the poor
and to school, as well as to the party
cause in his section, and to that eX-
tent the money was used for his own
benefit. The House and the great au-
dience sat in entire quietncss while
the evidence was reading, and White
more, sitting uneasy in his chair and
nervOusly holding papers and pulling
his long black beard, was pointed out
from the galleries by hundreds Of fin
gers. The committee were willing to
give him a chance to be heard, but as
he asked for no such opportunity, LO-
gan proposed to put the resolution on
its passage. Judge Poland thought
that i'm such grave matter as this the
House should have the evidence print
cd, and General Butler cOncurred in
this view. COburn, of Indiana, made
an excited and passionate speech for
considerable delay which some men,
bers interpreted as an indirect plea for
WhittemOre. A great many persons
offered a suggestion, and for ten min
utes there was considerable confusion
out of which the order finally came
to put the case over to give White
more ample time TO bring forward his
additional defence.

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
This amendment is as follows:

This amendment is as follows:
ART XIV, /, The. right of. citizens
of theUnited States to vote shall moi
be denied or abridged by the United
States, or by any State, on account oi
race, color, or previous condition OF
servitude.
2. Congress shall have power to en-
force this article by appropriate legis-
lation. 80 -,
Nebraska recently ratified the 18th
Amendment and the matter now
stands as follows:
Maine, New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Vermont, New York, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Pennslyva.

Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min

kansas, Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Florida, Nebraska,
Nevada, Texas-30.
OF these, New York is claimed to
have retracted her ratification; while
Indiana's ratification is challenged,
because the Democratic majority OF
her Legislature deserted their seats,
leaving less than quorum of two
thirds of all the members elected, and
Ohio's fatfcad0n, ; by heSopposidon,
is claimed to be unlawful. Ohio how
ever we are. satisfied, has ratified in
such manner as will be sustained.
The following States are against the
Amendment: So g.

Amendment bat is claimed to be
against it. IfNew York and Indiana
are both counted in the negative, the
Amendment is still ratified, with one
State to spare.
That question i settledand we may
soon look for the proclamation of the
Secretary of State setting forth the
fact. ~. ~. 49, .fa-.,
The people of the United States can
now congratulate themselves upon
granting Justice to race whose rights
have been trampled upon for genera
tions. 1t is matter for congratula-
tion, and yet the joy can but be tinged
with sorrow that it was mot done
sooner.

In the Senate the credentials OF
Messrs. Farr0w and Whittlesey, Sen
ators elect from Georgia, were present
ed, and referred. a joint resolution
from the Committee on the Pacific
Railroad was reported authorizing the
North Pacific Road to sell mortgage
bonds. From the the Committee on
the Revision of Laws came a recon-
mendation for the indefinite pOstpon-
ment of the resolutions of the New
York Legislature resembling the 18th
Amendment. AT o'clock p. NJ. the
Senate adjourned, as q tribute of re-
spect to Washington, it being his
birthday.
In the House the further considera-
ton of the charges against Judge Bu-
steed was dropped, not sufficient evil
dence being found to impeach him. a
bill extending the benefits of the Home
stead Act to the children of deceased
soldiers was passed. The question in
reference to the speech of VIM. Mum
gen, which he got leave to publish in
the Congressional Globe, without de-
livering it, wherein he attacked Gen.
Grant, Summer and Others and used
indecent language, came up. Mr.
Dawes offered a resolution that the
Committee on rules be directed TO in
quire whether Mungen had not abused
the privilege thus obtained, violated the
rules of the House, and did not deserve
censure. NJ. Mungen defended him
self, and said he meant no disrespect
to the House, and that when he refer
red to Mr.. Simmer he referred to him
only as lecturer, and he thought the
House had no right to gag the discus
sion of the doctrines of an imperti-
nent lecturer who was cramming his
theories and his illogical, damnable
doctrines on the people of the North" :"
He was called to order. After warm
discussion in which several took part
the resolution was adopted. The Con-
ference Committee reported that the
Conference Committee had agreed to
fix the naval appropriation at s, ,OOO,-

\ letter from Fort AbercrOmbie
SAYS that Friday, February 14,was the
most tempestuOus one the plains have
experienced this winter. On that day,
Charles Warner, in company with six
soldiers and an Indian scout, left Fort
Ransom for AbeIcrOm bic. The sol
diers and scout We're soon left behind,
and Mr.. Warner heard no more Of
them until Saturday evening. While
stopping at a station on the route, the
scout came in badly frozen and hardly
able to talk, reporting that the soldiers,
a few days previous had got lost in a
driving storm and, unhitching their
mules, had cGmped out upon the
prairie, all being more or less frozen.
The Indian covered four Of them in
the snow, the other two prefeTring to
remain in the open sleigh, and started
for assistance. HetTaveled most of the
night and all next day, and finally ar
rived at the station, but badly ArOz-
en- and exhausted as to have no clear
idea where the soldiers We're left buried.
His tracks being covered by drift, il
was impossible 10 follow them back,
and no search had been made for the
missing men. They are probably
dead. On the same day two men
chOpping wood near Alexandria were
lost, and have not since been heard OF.

IHRPUBLICDEBT

The Democracy of New Hampshire,
are claiming that the public debt Is
not, and has not been reduced. They
take the same stand on the question
as did the Ohio Democracy last fall,
and hope by doing 50 to elect their
Governor on the first Tuesday in
March. In view Of such assertions,
Hon. A. III. Cragin, L. S. Senator, adj
dressed letter to Secretary Boutwell,,
asking for a statement as to the re-
duction of the actual debt inclusive
and exclusive of the Railroad Bonds
Issued. The following is the reply,
and it ought to settle all foolish talk
regarding the debt:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, Feb. Z, 80.
SIR: 1 reply briefly to your letter
of the 4th inst, ia reference to the
amount Of public debt on the lst of
March, 1863, as compared wi h the
amount on the 1st of February, 1870.
The net amount of the public debt
on the 1st Of March, 1869, including
interest accrued and not paid, and
excluding Pacific Railroad bonds, was
8, 2,525, 453, 900 OF. The principal of the
bonds then issued to the Pacific Rail
road Companies was So, ,937 900, or an
aggregate liability and Indebtedness
of 3, SIS, 400, ,26O OF.
On the 1st of February, 1870, the net
amount of the debt, excluding bonds
issued to the Pacific Railroad Com
panfes, and including interest accrued
and not paid, was 8, ,444, ,Sl3, ,2sS 81
The bonds issued to the Pacific Rail-
road Companies at the latter date
amounted to S64, ,457 800, or an aggre-
gate liability and Indebtedness Of 81
sos, ,27O, COS 81.
3 1t thus appears that the liability of
the United States on account Of the
Pacific Railroads has been increased
during the eleven months, under acts
of Congress previously passed, to the
amount of SIC, $40, 800.
During the same period of eleven |
months, the direct debt of the United |
States has been diminished $50, ,649,-
S91 o.; and, if the increased liability |
of the United States on account of the |
Pacific Railroads be added, there still |
remains an actual diminutiOn of the |
total public debt Of the United States,
direct and contingent, during these |
eleven months, of SO, 1851 %.
These statements are based upon |
the books of the Treasury Depart |
ment, and cannot IN any a0dy be i'm
peGched.
Very Respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
GEO. S. boutwell,, Sec'y.

Summary Execution of a Murderer.

CHICAGO, February 21.
On Thursday Oflast week, ut Boards
town, Illinois, man named Wilcox
entered a saloon, assaulted a drunken
man who was in the saloon, and beat
him badly. In few minutes Yreck
and Brecker, the prOprietOrs, came
i'm, when the ruffian drew n revolver,
shot Yreck dead, and and then turned
and fired at Brecker, the ball infiict-
ing an ugly, and, as it is thought,
dangerous wound. The murderer was
arrested and put in Jail. On Friday
Yreck was buried, and there was n
large gathering at Beardstown. Just
after dusk large crowd, numbering
full five hundred, gathered around
the Jail. Without employing force
they took the KEYS from the Sheriff,
and put him under guard. The mob
then entered the Jail, seized prisiOn-
er whom they supposed to be the
murderer, got rope round his neck,
and then discovered they had got the
wrong man. In the meantime the
murderer who was in another cell, and
chained to the floor, was made aware
of the designs of the mob. He got
possession of an iron bar, and as the
leaders of the mob proposed to open
the cell door, he warned them that he
would sell his life dearly. This resO-
lutte demeanOr did not defeat the pur-
pose of the leaders. A pistol shot
through the head sent the soul of the
murderer to account for his crime,
and the body was then taken out of
doors and hung by the neck to a tree.
The man who thus suddenly eXpiated
his crime was from Alabama, and was,
Judging from his conduct aud demean-
or, desperate ruffian.

1t was evidently sore stab to S. S.

to a personal attack Of the former on

that it partakes rather of the minstrel
