CONGRESSIONAL.
-
SENATE.

Washington, May 5.-The House
resolution accepting the invitation to
attend the opening ceremonies of the
Centennial exhibition, and providing
for an adjournment from Tuesday to
Friday of next week, was adopted.
The consideration of the Belknap ar
ticles of impeachment was then re-
sumed, and Carpenter, for respond
ent, began his argument on the ques-
ton of Jurisdiction. After reviewing
the pleading in the case, he said he
would endeavor TO show, first, that
articles of impeachment could not be
entertained against any private cit
izen in any case whatever, and sec
ond, that whenever articles of i'm
parchment were exhibited they must
set forth every fact essential to con-
stitute n crime Improbable. He
stated that he would confine himself
in his argument to legal questions
and would be as brief as possible and
as dry as a stick. Carpenter read at
great length from the debates of the
Constitutional Convention, and ar
gued that the men who framed the
Constitution never had the slightest
idea that anybody but a public officer
could be ~impeached and that the de-
bates showed that impeachment was
n Intended rs Il check upon those in
power. At two o'clock the Senate
took a recess.
After the recess Carpenter contin-
ued his argument against the Sen
ate's jurisdiction. Proctor Knott fol-
lowed on behalf of the managers
After speaking for some time he ask
ed for an adjournment as he was suf-
fering physically. This was granted.
The Senate then went into executive
session and soon. after adjourned.
HOUSE.
The House was engaged to-day
mainly on private bills. Among
those passed was one granting the
right of way for railroad purposes
through the United States grounds
near Benicia, California. The naval
appropriation bill was reported and
made the special order for Monday.
1t appropriates nearly $l3, 1000, 900.
Soon after the House adjourned.

CONCERNING CUSTER.
Denial of Previous Dispatches

Washington, May 5.-The state
ment that President Grant relieved
Custer from his command because he
was a witness in the Belknap i'm
parchment trial is officially denied.
On the contrary it was the wish of
the President that Custer, having
been s%ubponacd a Il witness, should
remain until he had testified and
that meantime the Indian expedition
should be placed under the command
of some other officer. Sherman is
most emphatic in saying that Custer,
though relied on as q witness by the
Impeachment managers, was not JUS
tilted in leaving Washington without
notifying the President or himself of
his intention of doing so.
Neither the Secretary of War nor
Sherman protested against relieving
Custer, nor did Sherman say Custer
was mot only the best but the only
man fit to lead the expedition army"
Sherman says he is possessed of hun
dreds who are as competent for the
command of such expeditions as Gus
ter.

Concerning the Union Pacific.
The President of the Union Pacific
has written a long letter to the House
judiciary committee in response to its
recent request for the submission
within ten days of some proposition
for the creation of a sinking fund
which shall not include the offer to
reconvey to the government any por-
ton of the land grants. He says that
after much consultation with his fell
low directors he is unable at this
time to submit 4 new proposition but
promises, if II should proceed from
the committee, the company will
give it careful consideration and as
sistance. He declares that the COM
pany is willing and anxious to meet
its Indebtedness to the United States
by the time it becomes due. In re-
gard to the reconveyance of the land
grants, he hopes the committee will
reconsider and reach a different con
clusion, as without some such ar
rangement it will be impossible for
the company to pay by 1891. He al
leges that he can repel by overwhelm-
ing evidence any and all charges af-
fecting his personal honor or that of
his company.

The Bankrupt Law.

The amended bankrupt law of the United States provides that:
 "At any time after the expiration of six months from adjudication of bank ruptcy, or if no debts have been proved against the bankrupt, or if no assets have come to the hands of the assignee at any time after the expiration of sixty days, and before final disposition of the cause, the bankrupt may apply to the court for discharge from his debt. This action shall apply in all cases here tofore or hereafter commenced"
 It has been common for men to go into court with liabilities amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars and report no assets. The absence of ade- quate punishment for fraud has been the weak point of the law, and this is not supplied by the above amendment. It increases the number who may ask for absolute discharge, and if bankrupt endeavors to pull through by suppress ing what assets he has, and succeeds in withholding them from view for six months, then he is free and with no further relief for his creditors.

So rapid and complete the Discovery effect & perfect cure that it seemed more like magic and perfect wonder so my self and since that time We have never been without bottle Of Discovery and Purgative Pellets in the house. They are solid, sound times to fly to the relief of sickness-without charge. We have never had doctor in the house since we first begun the use of your Pel- lets and Discovery. l have recommended the use of these medicines in several severe and complicated cases arising from, as thought, an impure state of the blood and in ID one case have they failed to more than accomplish all they are claimed to do. will only mention one as remarkable (though could give you dozens). Henry Roster, furniture dealer, of this place. who was one of the most pitiful ob iects ever seen his face swollen out of shape, scales and eruptions without end, extending to his body, which was completely covered with blotches and scales. Nothing that he took seemed to effect it . particle: finally induced him to try few bottles of the Golden Medical Discovery, with daily use of the Pellets, assur- ing him it would surely cure him. He com- menced it's use some six weeks since, taking two Pellets each night for week, then one each night, and the Discovery as directed The result is, today his skin is perfectly smooth, and the scaly eruptions are gone. He has taken some seven or eight bottles in all, and considers himself cured. This case had baf- fled the skill of our best physicians. Nessrs.

Enlisting to Fight the Sioux.

The present war with the Indians is increasing the business at the United States war department to very marked degree. Recruiting is on the increase, troops are in motion, and other heavy items of expense eof daily occurrence. It is not easy to procure good men for the service, dull as times may be, but large numbers of dissipated youths are offering. Some of the best families of New York city have ruined sons who have enlisted out of sheer desperation. One of these, of whom l have personal knowledge, writes correspondent, was under salary of $l, 400 year, aud, though unmarried, could not live on it.. He wasted his money drinking and gam bling, and then in a fit of remorse en- listed. Some of these fellows make good soldiers, but they will find the Sioux campaign different from their gay and festive scenes at Delmonico's. Thir- teen dollars month and uniform is now offered, with small increase for good conduct. With regard to danger I do not think the Sioux are half as destruc- tive as the drinking saloons of the Fifth avenue.

BUFFALO BILLS OPINION,
The Mexican Bill Passed.

The joint resolution for the \protec- tion of the Texas frontier was passed by the~ United States House, after the second section-authorizing United States troops when in full pursuit of Mexican marauders to cross the border and punish them in their own country had been stricken out. The resolution as it passed provides for the maintenance of two regiments of cavalry of 1,2O0 men each on the Texas frontier, besides sufficient infantry to garrison the military posts along the Rio Grande. Should the Senate agree to this resolution the military force on the Mexican border of Texas will be considerably increased, and raiding on Texas cattle ranches will be proportionately more dangerous.
 At the same time, on account of the peculiar character of the country and great extent, even the force thus provid- ed for will be unable to entirely prevent the raids. Both the United States troops and those of the State of Texas have re- peatedly pursued the Mexican thieves to the banks of the river, and arrive just in time to see them driving their cattle out of the water on the opposite side. On occasions like this the Mexicans have been very insolent, and have often chal- lenged our soldiers to cross over the river and recover the stolen property. In one or two instances Capt. McNally' s company of Texas tro DDS has crossed the river and meted out deserved punish ment to raiders whom he overlook. The resolution as 1t was agreed to will doubtless afford considerable protection to citizens of Texas.
 The majority of the House evidently thought that pursuit carried into Mex ian territory, if not an absolute act o1 war, would at least be unfriendly toward Mexico and humiliating to the pride o1 our sister republic.

The Rifle Teams.

Some approximation can now be made as to the relative merits of the rifle teams that are to compete in the United States on the twelfth and thirteenth of September. The Scottish team has been selected, the Irish party have been practicing for some time and so have the Americans, while the rifemen from Australia are on their way to the United States. When the best score of the Scotch riff is taken it gives each man an aggregats of 706. In contrast to this the Americans have averaged TAB. This, when summed up, puts 1857 points to the credit of the Ameri- can team and 176.5 points to the credit of their Scottish opponents. The score made by the Irish team amounted to an average of 407; that of the Ameri- cans, for an equal number of shots, to Al. The daily average in practice by the Irish rifemen was POS; that on the part of the Americans, 210. This is good shooting on both sides, and the match promises to be particularly inter esting. The New South Wales team ran their average, especially at long range shooting, up to an average of 163.1 points. This is too near the high est mark of the Americans to be comfort able. A point or two difference can easily be overcome in match. A sin gle. bad shot may transfer. the victory from one side to the other, under such circumstances. There will be team on the ground from Canada, but the men have not been selected, and, there
 fore, nothing is known of their scores.
