THE INDIGNATION OF THE DELAWARE SENATOR
ARoUsED-sEvERE ARRAIiNMENT OF GEN. sHERI-
DAN.
For three hours, yesterday, Senator Bayard
occupied the time of the United States
Senate in TRADE OF denunciaton of
what he was pleased to designate as
Government interference in Louisiana
and in a furious assault on General Sheridan.
No one who il at all acquainted with Senator
Bayard will be surprised ut the position which
he tool nor will his remarks change the con
vctons OF any persons i'll his own State. Guld-
ed by this belief we present the following lead
ing ideas of his speech as telegraphed from
Washington
He opened by making point against Mr..
Conkling's Amendment Two years ago he Of
fered resolution calling on the President for
nformtion touching the operations of Major
amended on notion of Mr. Conkling. leaving ii
with the judgment of the President whether to
furnish the information called for, and to this
day response had not been made to the reso-
luton. He characterized the interference of the
military at New Orleans as an outrage upon all

inherent and essential rights of citizens. He
spoke of Sherdans action with great severity.
His commission officer of the army tooh
root in the great principles of civil liberty that
underlie the Constitution. He was educated,
fed, and clothed at the public expense, and yet
he forgets his first duty to the people, and would
deprive Them of their lives and despoil them
of their property without due process of law.
He does that which the most eminent jurists
say cannot be done, and declares an lndict-
ment against whole people. He read and
commented Sheridans dispatches to the
Secretary of War; and said if there existed that
tone in the present Admin thai once
pervaded the Government, Sheridan would never
again sign his name Lieutenant General. The
remorseless cruelty of Sheridan's dispatches was
only equaled by the answers framed by Secretary
Belknap and the people would repudiate that
officer, .'and all the rest of us who slgnited
their approval. To admit the powers ex

INVESTIGATION BY CORONER oRoyEs-TEsrMoNY
OF THE PARENTS AND pHYsIcI ANs-THE ExAMI-
NATION ADJOURNED.
Coroner Groves held an inquest, yesterday, at
o'clock, at the residence Of William Walker,
1905 French street, over the bodies of the two
poisoned children already spoken Of in these
columns. A jury of seventeen men was empan-
eled with H. b. McIntire foreman. The jurors
were sworn in the presence of the bodies, and
the examination then proceeded IN another
room.
The testimony of the father and mother con-
CURED in the facts that the children drank the
contents of a bottle they found in the cellar,
about nine o'clock a. M, on Thursday, and were
taken sick about 311 o'clo *, vomiting and being
very weak. The little girl died about l2 O'Clock
that night, and the boy about 8 o'clock next
morning. They moved in this house on the 7th
of December, the former occupant being John
w. Reese, n cabinet maker. They found num-
her OF bottles in the house, all of which they
threw out except those In the cellar.
lhe testimony of William, their only reman-
ing child, boy of seven years. was very clear,
and was about HI follows While their mother
waH out for marketing, (about ten minutes the
children got this bottle from the cellar; it was
half full when they found it, and took 1t all but
Six seven spoonfuls. The contents tasted
sweet, like molasses, and wher the bottle was
washed at the hydrtnt it smoked. They had
emptied and washed the bottle before the moth
er's return.
John w. Reese testified that when he lived
there all he had was ne, shellack, varnsh, and
bottle of cough syIup, which he got nearly a
year ago from DIR. Chayt tor.
DIR. Quint testified that when he got there the
girl was dead and the boy with symptoms as des-
cribed above.
DIR. Chas W. Jones thought it result of irri-
tant or narcotic poisun-most probably the lat
ter. He made post mortem examination and
will report the results to the Jury which ad-
jonrned to meet thia afternoon at the Delaware
House, at four o'clock.
The victims of the poison were boy and a
girl. Joseph, the little boy, was . years old, and
Elizabeth, the little girl, 2 years old.
