Forty Fourth Congress-First Session.
EOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April %
Mr.. Faulkner of W. Va, from the Commit
tee Oh Foreign Affairs, reported a bill in re-
gard to citizenship, and to define certain rights
of U. S. people in foreign countries and certain
duties of diplomatic and consular Offices, and
addressed the House in advocacy of it.
Mr. Cox offered substitute for the bill in
which he said he had erdeavored to gather all
the virtues that were in the BILL
Mr.. Regain objected to that section Of the bill
which permitted aliens to hold real estate in
this country. He also objected to the fifth
section which provides how marriages in for
eIgn countries between U. S. citizens and
aliens may be contracted and solemnIzed. He
thought the control OF that subject was not
one of the functions of the federal government.
The further consideration of the bill was
postponed till Wednesday. The House then
took up the bill reported by Mr. Douglass of
Virginia to amend the charter of the Freed
mems Bank.
MIR. Douglass said he did not care to address
the House, but would yield the floor to Mr..
Bradford of Alabama, who desired to offer
some amendments to the bill. Mr.. Bradford
offered substitute for the first three sections.
1t requires the Secretary of the Treasury to ap.
point competent man to take charge of and
wind up the affairs of the bank, the Secretar
to retain the general supervision of this COM
missioner.
Mr. Bradford insisted that action was due to
sixty odd thousand depositorS of the Freed
mems Bank, who were principally colored
people living in the Southern states. That it
was duty which Congress ought not longer to
shirk, particularly in view of the fact that Con-
losses OF the depositors. He characterized the
whole affair and about al connected with the
bank and its branches as frauds.
Without action the House adjourned.

The system of suffrage which grew up in
New York city under the Tweed dynasty had
no effectual check until the autumn of 1872
troll of thieves and ruffians, who secured i'm
punity by their service in manufacturing votes
as they were needed by the Ring in the city
or the State. The inlquities practiced under
that system we're the most audacious and de-
faint ever exposed under our government.
There was no invention or exaggeration in
the reports concerning them; they were judci-
ally established again and again.
Under the operation of the enforcement act
the conspiracies which had long practically
controlled the ballot box In that city were
broken up aud scattered. Ballot stutfing re.
duced to science under the Tammany regime,
became at once too perilous an occupation to
be carried on in open daylight as it had been
for many years before. This act was thought
TO be an extreme measure by many conserva-
tive people who had never had their own per-
sonal rights invaded. But in New York city it
was welcomed by all honest men in the intere st
OF good government, and the excellent results
gained by it were universally recognized, but
not everywhere with the same emotions
The Democratic vote fell off heavily under
its operation. The new registry destroyed the
occupation of the ballot-stuffng brotherhood in
half the precincts in the city, and secured for
the first time in many years measurably pure
election. Look back over the files OF the Dem
Ocratic journals of that time and you will fiud
them bowling at the capture of their strong
holds, and threatening vengeance and destruc.
ton to every one who had hand in the en-.
forcement of that righteous and efficient law.
Small chance for revenge, it must be confessed,
they have had since that time. But now,
when the dogs are out, and the whole country
round is wild with the excitement of the hunt,
they have discovered that few thousand
dollars of secret service money was used to Sc
cure the enforcement of that law. Well, what
of it? 1t could not have been used for bet
ter purpose.
Now, if anybody knows that Mr. Davenport
used the money illegally,-divided it with the
Attorney General and the President, bought
votes enough with it to make New York Re
publican that year, set up a gambling shop I'M
der the caves of Trinity church, or anything
else that he oughtn't to out with it! Life's a
short summer at the best. There is no time
like the present hour for full and free comics.

day, like the creation of beasts and man on the
sixth day; the existence of vegetables is made
to precede the creation of the sun, the source of
their life; and the light and darkness are divid-
Ell from one another Immediately after the
creation of the light has been already men
toned. These and other pecuiiarities lead
d'Eichthal to conjecture that the account as we
have it has undergone transposition and adj
dition, and therefore evidently believing his
own work of that sort to be as respectable as
anybody's, he proceeds to cut and slash the
fragment until he gets what he thinks the orig
inal text; eight strophes, each strophe contain
ing two stanzas. One of his changes any one
may try the effect of; it is simply placing verses
14.-1S between verses and 9. He finds traces
of Persian origin in the account of the creation
of light, by redactor of the primitive poem in
the days of Ezra

NEW YORK, April 22-In this city yesterday

charged for at the local rates, decided that the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company shall be re-
the road.
In San Francisco yesterday the Panama rail-
road company attached everything movable
belonging to the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany. The controo lers of the Panama railroad
say they have resolved to accept nothing but
prepay ment from the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company because that company has neglected
to pay its dues for the past six months. The
Panama railroad is preparing bonds that will
enable it to seize and hold every Pacific mail
steamship that enters San Francisco.

TURKISH INSURRECTIO


LONDON, April PA despatch from Berlin
says it is understood that Turkey has refused
to continue negotiations with the northern
powers and prolong the armistice, under the
impression that the alliance between the three
Emperors has become weakened.
AS this supposition has now proved unfou nd
ed, it is hoped that the Porte will ultimately
consent to further pegoti ations, being pressed
by England
A Wauch ON Montenegro.
A telegram from Constantinaple says the In
perial decree spublished ordering a camp of
observation at Scutari to watch Montenegro.
The runner that the Porte has decided to de-
clare war against Montenegro is unfounded.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 23-The English
and Russian ambassadors had interviews with
the Grand Vesier These conferences resulted
in the announcement that the Porte has no in
tention OF declaring war against Montenegro.
Servian Militia Ordered to the Frontier.
LONDON, April A.-The Times dispatch from
Berlin reports that the Servian war Office has
foreign campaign. 1t is considered, however,
exceedingly improbable that Servia will go to
war unless she is attacked by Turkey.
A dispatch to the Russian Telegraphic agen-
cy says an order has been sent from Constanti-
nople to revctual Nicsic for six months at any
COST 1t seems unlikely that Serya and Mont
enegro will remain unaffected. If the Turks
are victorious they will attack the priucpa-
ties. The Eastern crises has reached mo-
moment when it is for force to pronounce the
last word.
Probable Intervention.
LoDoN, April 22.-The Pail Mall Gazette
special from Berlin says it is again proposed
that in the event of all the means of restoring
peace in tie Turkish provinces failing Austria
should interfere forcbly. 1t is reported that
the powers now view the proposal favorably,
and its acceptance is probable.
A dispatch from Constantinople says it is un-
derstood that Montenegro has been notified
that unless she maintain strict neutrality the
Turkish troops will Immediately cross the from
tier,
