POLICE CASES.
Before Justice Hayden,

tuesday, Dec. 5,-Timothy Riley, the
highway robber, bigamist and late color
bearer in the Hayes and Wheeler club in
this city, was arrested and Jailed last even
ing by Deputy Marshal Miller, for stealing
chickens from John NJ. Biehfs hennery,--
full account of which was given in THE
ARGUS last evening This morning Tim
was brought before Magistrate Chopper
but he took change of venue to Justice
Hayden. Tim attempted to show intimi-
dation and prove an abb but Biehl polled
the largest vote and the justice couldn' t
go back" on the evidence and he had to
return Tim ato tjail-under 5000 bonds.
Tim still insisted that he hadn't had a fair
count and wanted to take a, change of
venue to Jedge Guyer" but he was led
off to Jail like lamb Tor chickens to the
slaughter-so to speak.
The examination of Bill Burton. charged
with stealing harness. horse blankets etc.,
from James Slater, resulted, this forenoon,
in his being bound over to the next term
of circuit court under 500 bonds. 1t
might have been that many cents-for he
had to go to Jail.

SPEAKER RANDALL's SPEECH
A Patriotic Appeal to all Lovers OF
American Liberty.

The telegraph furnishes the following in
regard to Speaker Randall's speech on
taking the chair.
After eulogizing the late Speaker Kerr,
he said I'VE stand in the presence of
events which strain and test in the last
degree our forms of government. Our
liberties, consecrated by so many sacrifices
in the past and preserved amid the re.
joicings of an exultant people to our centen-
NAL anniversary as one among the nations
of the earth. must be maintained at every
hazard Applause. The people look
confidently to your moderation, to your
patient, calm. firm judgement and wis
dom, in this time traught with so many
perils. Let us not, | beseech of you, dis
appoint their just expectations and their
keen sense of right, but by vigilance pre-
vent even the slightest departure from the
constitution and laws, forgetting, in the
moment of difficulty, that we are adher-
ents OF party, and only remembering that
we are American citizens with a country
to save, which will be lost if unauthorized
and unconstitutional acts on the part of
the execu tive officer be not frowned down
At once with relentless aud unsparing con-
domination"
The closing word were delivered with
great force and emph asis, and were
loudly applauded on the floor and In the
galleries

"He Didn'tBoass ofrtp"

Maj. Beardsley was selected by the Re-
publican state committee to represent the
Republican party of the great state of lii
nois before the Louisiana returning board.
In his report he says:
He left Chicago on the 10th of November, accom-
panied sby Hon, Chas. B. Farwell, Col. Abner
Taylor and Dr.S. r, Haven, they with himself be-
ing selected by the Republican state committee in
Obedience to request from the president that four
or I'VE gentlemen be sent.
Maj Beardsley came back to Chicago
and had his report published in the papers
then. Then he came home and did the
same thing here, and he told how the lying
Eliza Pinkston happened to get before the
public. his home organ says ''he
didn't come home and boast how he got
up the Pinkston business" Let us see
how that was. 10 his report Of Dec. 2, he
said
On arrival at the St. Charles H otel in New
Orleans Maj. Beardsley was called upon by Gov
Palmer.l
That was certainly very kind in Gov,
Palmer. And Maj. B. says day or two
after his arrival he heard, from one Ray
tax collector of Ouachita, about the
Pinkston row and
| He at once urged upon the Republican manager
| that witnesses to these outpages should be sum-
moned and taken before the returning board, a
/ more convincing than any number of affidavit
would be. The idea was adopted and Ray departed
at night, secretly found James and Eliza Pinkstor
and Others and had them broughtto New Orleans
Maj,B. says his idea was at once adopt
ed and he evidently felt no little pride il
his idea, when he started Ray, secretly
at night. to find this bulldozed woman
creature proven by her neighbors to be
VIGOROUSLY bad character. Another such
an idea" would knock the wind out of tn
Republican party. Her whole story
proven to be lie, and Gov. Palmer, Gov
Bigler, Senator Trumbuil, Mr.. Julian, z
Il. Watson and Mr.. Smith, over their ow
signatures, have declared to the Who'll
country that this negro row. which eve
the neighbors where it occurred took n
notice of, had no connection with polite
In any manner whatever. If the idea
was fair and square one why did Ra
depart at highland secretly? One woul
naturally think it was in order to get tn
woman away secretly so that her neighbor
could not expose her falsehoods until
was too late.
We don't believe that the Republica
party, or the returning board rascals, wi
thank the representative of lllino
Republicanism for another Pinksto
ideal"

electors to send orders to Judge Bond OF
the United States court o;put the whole
bench of supreme judges in jail,-and by
our telegraphic columns it will be seen
that the people of South Carolina are raj

The members of this supreme court are

CONGRESS.
Colorado can wait----Committees vii
Examine the three Carpet-Bag
States.

Yesterday afternoon, after our telegraphic
report closed, the Republicans undertook
to force Colorado into the union.
Mr.. Woods, of New York, argued that
as the house had an unquestloned right to
INQUIRE into the election of its members,
that right involved in this case not only
the consideration as to regularity as to the
credentials of this person, but also as to
what constituency he came to represent,
When the house adjourned Colorado was
a territory, and it was the right and duty
of the house to inquire whether it has been
converted into a state ia pursuance OF the
constitution and laws.
Mr. Springer's motion referring the
credentials of the Colorado member to the
Judiciary committee was ladopted Az to ".
Mr., Hewitt, of New York, offered a
resolution providing for the appointment
of three select committees-one OF fifteen
mem bers, to go to louisiana; one OF ,tol
Florida, and one of nine, for South
Carolina, to investigate the action OF the
returning boards; also to report ali facts
Essential to honest returns of the eiectora
votes, and whether their electoral votes
should be counted, the committees being
empowered to send for persons ant
papers, appoint subcommittee, clerks.etc
The Republicans, as previously agrees
on IN caucus, fought this resolution, bu
without effect, and it was before adjourn

INTERMITTENT FEVER IS so common 10
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure TO miasmatic

edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the griGdstone by wearing a
