Mr.. Elliot having asked The witness at

Mr.. Elliot having asked the witness at
what college he graduated, he replied
that all the schooling he received was be-
tween nine and eleven years OF age at the
Methodist school. Being asked whether
he could not spell better than be lust did,
witness replied that he had done the best
he could under present circumstances.
Mr.. Elliott exhibited 10 witness let
ter, which b said his wife wrote at the
dictation Of Green, and signed his name
to It.
The cross-e1amination here ended.
Meyer Strauss, Of pennsylvania, being
sworn, testified that he was member Of
Congress from the Schuylkill district in
1866. He knew Harney, assistant door
keeper. Harney number OF times
asked him to use his influence to pro-
cure his friend Green an appointment in
the army. Harney spoke highly of
Green's character as soldier, and wit
ness wrote letter 10 President Johnson
in favor of such an appointment. Har-
ney said to him, "You have influence
with the President, and have always

can help Green by writing a letter"
Harney said that he (Harncy) could
make little money-probably some
500 or S500-out Of the business.
witness told him he had nothing to do
with that; he received no money and
never saw any; witness was very intimate
with Mr.. Kerr, but never saw him have
any intercourse with Harney; Harney
was very courteous and friendly, and wit
ness became quite intimate with him;
witness rather liked him because he
seemed 10 attend to business obligingly.
Harney was Republican with Democrat.
iC proclivities, and as President johnson
was little shaky, Harvey told him that
1t was necessary that Green should have
some Democratic influence. On cross.
examination Strauss said lIarney told
him that his position did not pay well, and
his expenses were heavy.

Mr.. Mills offered an amendment pro-
viding for the removal Of the Apache In
dians from the Fort Sill reservation to the
Baxter Springs reservation.
Mr.. Bland raised point Of order that

taken and the amendment was not before
the House. - s

Mr.. Morrill,, Of Me-, Chairman Of the
Appropriation Committee spoke a.
length against the reductions in the bill
made by the Honse, the question being
on the first amendment reported by the
Committee.on Appropriation TO restore
the salary Of the Senators, Repre4enta..
tiyes and Delegates in Congress to So, ,OOO
per annum, instead OF s. 500 as proposed
in the House bill.
Mr.. Sherman said the House, OF Re-
representatives. had made important
changes in the legislation OF the bill, and
upon this first amendment Of the Senate
committee depended the fate Of the whole
bill. II was perfectly manifest that this bill
was to be the subject OF controversy be-
tween the houses, and at the outset the
Senate should be sure Of being right, take
its stand and adhere to it. BE did not
see how any Senator could vote to reduce
the salaries OF clerks from 10 to 20 per
cent. He could not vote for such pro
position, and would not do it. II the
House was willing to apply the reduction
to those salaries increased since the
Wuft anu - ulGLlbSIS VI SSh6AN
even lower figure than that named in
the House bill, he would vote with them
10 do SO. .
The amendment, as proposed BY the
committee, restoring the salary to 80 OOC
per annum, was then agreed to without
division. The other amendments pro
posed by the Committee on Appropria'
lions, restoring the salaries OF the officers
and clerks OF the Senate and House Of
Representatives, Capitol police and EN-,
ployes in the library to the amount
received by them under the existing
law were agreed to, as was also the amend
ment appropriating $4,000 for the sal
ary Of congressional printers and EN-
ployees Of his Office and $25, 900 for the
contingent expenses Of that office. Wher
the amendment to strike out the CLAUSE
reducing the salary Of ihe President tc
s25, 900 per anhum fromland after March
4th, 1871, was reached, McCreery moved
to non concnr in that amendment.
A debate ensued. Pending the dis
cussion the Senate went into nm executive
session and soon adjourned.

Call Tor u Republican state Con-
HentiOn.

The call Of the Chairman Of the Repub'
lican State Committee appears in our
columns this morning for convention at
Parkersburg on the 9th Of July, whereat
to nominate candidates, for the various
State Offices.
This call seems to us unnecessarily
early, but no doubt there was strong
pressure on the part Of candidates and
their friends for its issuance, and to this
pressure the chairman has felt obliged
to defer. Wepresume that 80 far as ac-
tual results are concerned, the question
Of two or three weeks is not likely to make
much difference. Those who are disappOin-
ted in their aspirations at the convention
will have all the more time to cool oil
and become disinterested and patriotic
in the support Of their successful COM
petitors, and those who are successful
will have all the more time to grow calm
and phiIosophic over the possibility OF
ultimate defeat Mt the polls, as well as
more time in which to spend their
strength. and money in order to prevent
such calamity.
By the 9th Of July we shall all know
the strength or weakness OF the Demo
cratic ticket that ia to be nominated al
Charleston on Thursday next and jusi
what sort OF ticket to Offset against it
II the Democracy should nominate :
ticket that is particularly strong by rea'
son Of its high personal character, w
may have to look around lively in order
to find some dominoes TO match by the
9th OF July. The probabilities are, how
ever, judging from those who are mos
prominent before the public for nomina'
ton for the various offices, that the
Democracy will not tax the resources o'
their opponents very heavily in this re-
spect. The question Of geographical To-
CATION and soundness on the Capital re-
movaI seems to be the hobby that viii
play the most conspicuous part in the
Charleston Convention.
As to the place Of holding the Conven'
ton, the Committee have chosen n con
venient point and one that ought to se
cure large attendance from all parts oI
the State. Parkersburg has the genera
facilities to accommodate convention
properly, and no doubt the people ther'
will supply all the minor details necesss
ry to the comfort OF n large crowd, be
tween this and the day named in the call

THE ROUGHS GETTING THEIR
DESSERTS.

There is some hopes that justice will be
meeted out sooner or later to all devoteee
of the prize ring. Governor McCreery, Of
Kentucky has made a requisition on Gov
Hayes, CT Ohio, for the bodies of all the
roughs who witnessed the Goss-Allen prize
fight, and Major Johnson, of Cincinnati, has
ordered his chief Of police to arrest every
one of the mob that can be found in the
city. These moves on the part of the
proper authorities of Kentucky and Ohio
it is to be hoped will have some effect in
crushing out forever in this country the
beastly English institution, the prize ring.
Gov. McCreery insists that the newspaper
reporters must also be arrested and pun
ished. Tom Allen is njail in Covington,
Joe Goss is in seclusion, and the anthori-
ties Of Kentucky searching for him, and
the whole gang of the bruiser fraternity
are scampering, fleeing from the wrath to
come. The authorities of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, OHIO and Kentucky have
commenced a good work, for which they
merit the blessings Of the christian world.
Let the work 90 bravely on.

The Republicans are jubilant over their
victory in Vermont, when, in fact, it is a
triumph for the Democrats. Tested by the
large increase Of the vote, where the vote
is three to one Republican, without any
increase of majority, the victory is secid-
edly with the Democrats, for the same per
centage of change would make Pennsyl-
vania give Democratic majority of forty
thousand. The Republican victory in
Vermont is Of but little significance. The
election in that State was but slight skir-
mish in the great Presidential battle

THE DEMOCRACY OF OHIO.

The Cleveland 'Plaindealer' assures its
friends in the East, that the Democracy Of
Ohio have never been more hopeful ol
success than they are at the present. The
Democrats carried Ohio twice within three
years, and now they have ignored minor
differences on financial questions, and
united, which is worth thousands of votes.
Thousands of men who voted the Republic
can ticket last fall will not vote it this fall.
Every neighborhood contains Republicans
publicly identified with the Democrats who
were against them one year ago, and the
changes are all to the Democrats, none
against them. In all portions of Ohio are
heard depressing accounts of business dis
tress. The people are beginning to want
sound, just and economical government at
Washington to lift them out of the slough,
and they see the only way to bring it
about, is to vote for Tilden and Hendricks
The rottenness of the Republican party is
weakening its strongest holds, and the
Buckeye State in November will wheel
into line for Tilden and Hendricks.

MANY conflicting theories have been cir

audacious plunderer of municipal treas.

Tweed's arrest at Vigo. A Madrid des,

HENDRICKS AND MORTON.

The speeches Of these two gentlemen in
the canvass in Indiana, show the superb
ority Of the polished statesman over the
sordid denagogue. Hendricks speeches
are dignifed, cool and convincing, while
Morton's are coarse, narrow and bitterly
partizan. Hendricks sentiments are broad,
exalted and liberal. He raises his voice
for reconciliation and peace, while Morton
swings the bloody shirt, and urges a spirit
of hatred toward the South. Hendricks
speeches are masterly discussions of the
present issues and public questions of the
day, while Morton's are vile, frantic and
spiteful utterances. Morton, the most in
fuential and active supporter Hayes and
Wheeler, the prince of demagogues,
would ravage the fairest portions of our
country to perpetuate his evil propensities
and power, and would willingly purchase
every vote he wants with human blood.
Can it be possible that our government is
to be continued in the hands of the party
which tolerates this infamous wretch
among its leaders? Will not an admins
tration be brought to end that is controlled
by such debauched leaders? Surely, we
need 20 no further to ascertain our fate if
our Government is to be continued in such
hands. Can it be possible, that at this
time, when the public service has become
debauched, and the country is on the brink
of ruin, that majority of the citizens Of
the State of Indiana will follow the lead
Of the debauched Morton in preference TO
that Of the upright and pure statesman
Hendricks?

THE sanguinary outbreak in Charleston
is deeply to be regretted. Every resort to
force and violence, for the purpose of inhu-
encing or deciding the choice of National,
State or local rulers, is direct infringe
ment upon one of the fundamental princi-
pies offree government, and all good citi-
zens should endeavor to avert such dan
gerous and disgraceful demonstrations.
Woe be to the political charlatans who en-
dorse and sustain such party and admin
istration.
