In the House the Judiciary Committee
reported the constitutional amendment on
| schools introduced by Blaine, es follows: Arti-
| Gle l6-No State shall make any law respecting
| an establishment of religion or prohibiting til 9
free exercise thereof, and no money raised by
taxation in any State for the support of public
schools or derived from any public fund there
for, nor any public lands devoted thereto, shall
ever be under the control of any religious sect
or denomin alton, nor shall any money so raised
or lands SO devoted be divided between reli-
gious sects or denominations. This article
shall not vest, enlarge or diminish Legislative
power in the Congress. This passed by vote
of leg to S. The Senate Committee reporting
the came bill, amended it not to exclude
the Bible from the Schools.
Political speech making continued in the
House. Garfield and Hoar attempted to answer
Lamars great speech and were replied to by
Col Hooker of Mississippi. The House repealed
the resumption act and appointed q committee
OF three to sit during recess, study the sui ject
and report a bill embodying the results of it's
Investigations on or before the 18th December,
1876
On the 10th, Mr.. Lord, of New York, offered
resolution reciting that the right of suffrage
prescribed by the constitution of the several
States is subject to the fifteenth amendment.
and that the service of said right shonld he
faithfully maintained and observed by the
United States and that it is asserted that the
exercise of said right in come States, not
w1tbstanding the efforts of good citizeus. is
trolied by traud, intimidation and violence so
that the object of the fifteenth amendment is
defeated, and that all citizens without distinc-
tlon OF race Oh color, are entitled to the rights
conferred by said amendment, and declaring
that ell attempts by force, fraud, terror, init
midation, or otherwise to prevent free exer-
else of the right of suffrage should meet with
certain, condign and etfeotual punishment, and
that in many cases which have heretofore occur
red or may hereafter occur, in which violence
or murder has been or shall be committed by
one race or class upon another, prompt punish
ment of the criminal or criminals is impera-
lively demanded, whether the crime be enc
punishable by fine or imprisonment, one
demanding the punishment of death. The
question Was divided. The declaration, or re- |
solution, YVES carried-l74 to 9, and the pre- |
smble by 121 to 81.
The Committee on Expenditures of the War |
Department ia their report say that they are
compelled to state that the President and the |
two Attorney Generals, Alderman and Will
liame. who supplied Davenport with the 1874 eco
OF government fund, diverted it from its proper |
purpose to one entirely foreign to the objects
of the law.

Majority Report of the Louisiana Investigating
Committee.

Washington, dug. 10-The report submitted
by the majority of the committee appointed to
investigate Federal offices in Louisiana, is de-
voted mainly to O recital of their inquiries con-
corning the management of the New Orleans
Custom House.
At the outset they say the Collector James
+. Casey, and his subordinates endesvored in
se~eral ways to obstruct the Investigations
me report states that evidences of irregulari-
ties and frauds in the importation of dutable
GOODS were given by number OF witnesses in
Goe employment Of the Custom House and the
internal Revenue Buresu at New Orleans and
evidence was introduced on the part of the
Collector to rebuff the existence of these alleged
frauds upon the revenue, but the Committee
characterize it as conflicting and contradictory
The committee then proceed to state that
1t appears from uncontradicted evidence that
the custom House at New Orleans was made to
contribute large sums of money, taken from it's
revenues, TO partlzan ends. The sums were abb
stracted by means of fraudulent vouchers made
out in the Custer, House apparently regularly
vices rendered as temporary laborers. Many of
the names were fictitious, and in others the
parties named never rendered moments ser.
vice in the Custom House. These papers were
certified by Crawford, entry clerk, and for
warded to the Chief of the Treasury as
vouchers for disbursements made by the Col
lector of Customs, and the money thus OBJ
tanned was used for political purposes; in fact
sometimes the consideration was the pollution
of the ballot box itself.
The committee say they were unable to obtain
from Collector Casey the duplicates of any of
these vouchers, though dup lcates of other
vouchers were obtainable, and the Collector
failed to appear before the committee, though
ST bPenaed, and alleged illness as the reason. |
They add this fact, experimenting the positive !
evidences and establishing these corrupt prac- |
tees can lead to bat one conclusion.
They next cite what they characterize az an |
other glazing fraud, namely: payment Of
S. coo by Casey to one Z. A. Davis nominally |
for reporting the Government warehouse at |
Quarantine Station, when in fact Davis per-
formed no work whatever, and merely turned |
the money over to J. II. Sypher for use, as he |
(Davis) understood, for political proposes. The |
recommend that the Government |
should without delay institute suit against |
Collector Casey to recover such sums of money |
as have by him and his snbordinates been mis-. |
TO unlaEfol purposes, 80 shown |

by the evidence. They add Your committee
cannot believe that the President will permit
Mr.. Casey to continue in office as Collector of
Customs at New Orleans after he shall have
become acquainted with the testimony taken
before your committed.
The committee blame Marshal Packard for
unwarranted appointments of deputy msrshals
in small towns for election purposes. They
commend the Marshers administration, how
ever, as faithful and praiscworthy in all other
respects. They bestow unqualified praise upon
District Attorney Beckwith, and say also that
they found all the other Federal offices in New
Orleans satisfactorily conducted in the interest
OF the Government and the convenience Of the
people. The committee animadvert, however,
upon the fact that the Surveyor General and
time members of the Senate, which should de-
bar them from holding office under the Federal
Government.

The San Antonio Herald, the most in Il uentiAl
paper in Western Texas, is Engaged in q viqor-
ous crusade looking to the formation Of that
section into an independent State. 1t appears
that when Texas was admitted into the Union,
it was stipulated by those prominent in the
Lone Star Republic that this great extent Of
territory should be divided into four additional
States whenever any section possessing sufi-
Client area Of territory and population should
apply for admission, provided always that the
State Legislature should consent; and this
stipulation was Endorsed by act OF Congress,
and the bill signed by President Tyler. The
act was then approved by the Congress Of the
republic, and il held to be now In full force
and effect. The Herald claims that Western
Texas has now q population OF nearly double
the number stipulated for Congressional Re-
preventative, and n much larger territory than
Is requisite. The counties in that portion of
Texas are called upon to organize on this ques-
ton and demand in their primary assemblies
that the State LegislatOre shall express it's
consent to the scheme" thus to put into
practical operation the solemn bequest Of the
Fathers of the Republic Of Texas" 1t would
appear that the claim viii be made that Con-
gress has no voice in the matter, by virtue Os
the act referred to, and that the consent Of the
Legislature is alone necessary to form the new

Dom Piatt and Governor and Mrs. HAYES

[ColumLus, o.. Letter from Dom Piatt]
| found my old friend about tn,
same. Tie unexpected discovery o
his greatness has not change,lrrAim
He -, the same kind, genial gentle
man, disposed to laugh at the ludi
crOlls aspect OF the situation, but OF
the whole taki+ag"it in gracefully
| said | had no business anywhere,
and l did not call to pay my re-
spects, but thought Il take a part
ing look in, Tor after a while he
might not be apprOdchable. lii
laughed and said that was not like.
ly, and his old habit of blushing as
serted itself, and at the illusion t.
the Presidency he colored from his
tawHy beard to where benevolencp
begins to CLEAN through the thinne(l
hair. +.
~ saw before nc lady evidently
more sensible than fashionable.
Her rather broad face was tanked
on each side by hair thar, dressed
plainly, fell in a curve almost to the
cheeks, a style in vogue when Mrs.
Hayes was wOed and won as Il
bride. Her figure, full and matr0n-
~, was innocent of that pull back
which makes a wOman's front eleva.

from a sea of wearing apparel,s and
lrer rear ~ camel set OH end-Or
rather, sick person ordered to take
up her bed and walk, which bed the.
miracle has suspended to the small
of her back. Mrs. Hayes has large,
irregular features, that when at resi-
do not make up handsomely, but
when anniulatel her. face lights w,
like, a lantern, to use a, l0mely com
,mrison, and ope. learns at once why
she is called beautiful. Her voice
and her InugE-stop a bit. | have
TWO lines made up IN my head thar
are applicable you may have heard
of them before:
"ller smile ia sunlight and her laugh,
That sunlight set to tune
"She extended her hand to me
frankly, and said; ~ have long
known you by reputation, Colonel,
and am glad to meet you.p
"'Ma,lam,' responded, Il would

than by reputation, From what |

laughter, musical as -'cOins dropped |,
