Sitting Bull has determined to try
conclusions with the United States
troops on the question of the observ-
ance of the treaty requiring his tribe
e remain on the reservation. He
ehas' collected i 800 braves at the
mouth of Powder River, in the Vel
lowstone country, and defies the
combined forces of Gems. Custer and
4 Crook, numbering 1000 men, to con-
vince him that the Government re-
ally amounts to anything. An expe-
dition is already en- route for the
neighborhood of the obstinate red
skins, and it is safe to predict that
beGoresmany moons are wasted Sit
ting Bull will cease to be a sitting
bully in that locality.

ivy Flippant members of Parliament
used to call Burke 1.-THE Dinner Bell"
because a speech from him was al
ways the signal for a general exit
for refreshments. Who ever before
heard ofa Legislator running away
from a dinner bell? Hazlitt conceiv-
ed the fault in Burke to be that he
always gave a reason for everything,
while, for an orator, bare assertion is
better, Reasoning engenders doubt,
Acknowledgment argument may not
be sufficient to remove. Burke was
too solid an orator and scholar to be
a popular speaker.

Wheeling Register, he wrote m
evening I: "To-day is the anniversary

When the proof came up the name
read"Sam Phillips" "Spiv" thought
q mere note Of the mistake would be
sufficient, aud so he wrote on the
margin "Who in h-ll is Sam Phil

out To-day is the anniversary of
the death of Sam Phillips! Who in

say a word about it to anybody.

THE STATE UNDER DAYoNET RULEATHE
RUMP HOUSE ELECTING 4 UNITED STATES
SENATOR.
COLUMBIA, Dec. 12.-In the Democratic
House to-day ballot was taken for United
States Senator. There were fourteen can
didates. The votes ranged from one to
eleven. The highest vote was cast for Gen.
NJ. G. Butler of Edgefeld. Troops are ar
irving here from Florida. Everything is
quiet. There is no excitement whatever.
Ip the Republican House to>day ballot
for United States Senator resulted in favor
of United Statss District Attorney D. T.
Corbin, who received So out of 66 votes
cast. In the Senate Corbin received II and
Gary (Dem. IL votes. Corbin was declared
to be elected Both Houses then adjourned.
The Democrats pay no attention to the
election by the Senate and Rump House of
District Attorney Corbin as United States
Sci ator. The Democratic members will
continue to vote Tomorrow for Senator.
They have majority of the joint Assembly.
Judge Bonds decision releasing the State
canvassers, causes great Indignation. The
Supreme Court has not yet decided the
contempt case of CorbiD, attorney for the
board. The Congressional committee ia
continuing to take testimony, and examin-
ing the precinct returns. They are not in
vestigating intimidation or fraudulent vot-

INvEsTIGATION-THE RETURNING BOARD
REFUSING TO SUBMIT ITS RECORDS TO
THE COMMITTEE.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 12.-When the Con.
gressional Committee met to day Chairman
Returning Board was in the room
Charles Abell, Secretary Of the Board, in
answer, presented to the Chairman sealed
document, signed by Wells, Anderso'', Ken
ner, and Casenave, formally denying the
authority of Congress to review the Boards
decisions until they had been delivered to
the Legislature in January. They also pro.
test against the attempt of the House Of
Representatives OF the United States to
obt ain and review documents In their pos
session, and claim that as individuals they
cannot, under the Constitution and laws OF
he State, surrender them. They state fur
fher that they will have copies of all docu-
ments made for the committee, if the COM
mittee will provide the necessary means
that the State Legislature has made no
appropriation for them, and they cannot
therefore, furnish copies unless the com
mittee furnish funds. These copies, they
say, will be made as soon they are through
Wi h the documents, provided the funds are
furnished.
Ailer hearing this, Mr.. Morrison again
asked, "Is Gov. Wells present." Being
answered "No," he ordered the Sergeant
at Arms to notify members of the Board to
appear before the Committee Tomorrow,
tccor0ing to the order of the Speaker of the
House of Representatives. Abel, on his
own account, then refused to furnish the
records of the Boards proceedings.
This refusal of Wells u Co. and their
Secretary to appear before the committee
after being subpened, and their defiant
denial OF the demand to inspect their
records and documents caused astonish-
ment and Indignation. The Republican
authorities held close consultation in the
Custom House this morning. 1t is thought
instructions were then received from Wash
ington recommending this course to the
Board. The Republicans here show an eager
desire to block investigation as to submit
their dark deeds to the light of public
exposure would be entailing destruction on
their party. The signs are they will fight
hard against being investigated, and that
powerful help will be rendered them in their
resistance.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The following
cases were heard before the United States
Supreme Court yesterday:
l54. Russell vs.; Place ct al, and same
VS.. Dodge ct al. Appeal from the Circuit
Court for the Northern District of New
York. These are suits for the infringe
ment OF complaiLant's patent for the treat
ment of leather. The invention claimed
a novel treatment of bark-tanned sheep OF
lamb skins by heated fat liquor, obtained
by securing deer skins after tanning In oil
The answer denied the novelty of the inven.
tion, alleging the prior use Of the agency
named.
The Court held that the patent covered
and claimed the use of cold fat liquor, and
the process does not require heated fat
liquor, and this decision is the principal
error assigned here, the appellant insisting
that no such claim was made. Horace E.
Smith, for appellant; I. L. Wakefield, for
appellee.
CHINESE IMMIGRATION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-The Joint Com.
mittee on Chinese Immigration, which re-
ceutly visited the Pacific coast, will not be

Democratic Victory In Boston

BosroN, Dec. 12.-Tbe city election to-
day resulted in grand Democratic victory,
the first for many years. The Hon. F. O..
Prince, Chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, was elected Mayor by
the significant majority Of about twenty
five hundred, only five hundred less than
Tilden's majority in November, and against
the "Citizens" and Republican coalition.
1t is thus the metropolis of the old Bay
State strengthens the hands of Tilden and
condemns the schemes of the Grant Hayes
party. Eleven of the twelve Aldermen are
Democratic, and the Council is evenly divi
ded. No returning board can change this
result.

A few minutes after : O'Clock yesterday
morning sad accident occurred at the blue
stone quarries Of Messrs. Blunden x Hayden,
near the Chain bridge, short distance above
Georgetown. About thirty men were at work
in the quarry at the time Of the occurrence of
the accident. which was caused by the falling
of an oyerhangtng rock weighing six or seven
tons, and which instantly killed young man
named James Payne. Another man named
Frank elliott had his leg crushed below the
'inee, but was not otherwise injured. Payne,
who was about thirty years Of age, was very
worthy young man, and was highly respected.
He leaves a wife and several children. The
hands employed at once stopped work, the sc-
