THOMAS DUFFY, THE MURDERER OF OFFICER
YosT, TO BE HANGED.
lpy TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
PoTrsvILLE, Pa, Jan. % 1877.
Thomas Duffy, who was convicted in September last
OF the murder Of Officer Yost, OF Tamaqua, was this
morning sentenced to be hanged, the motion for q
new trial having been denied. Duffy was the Molly
who procured the murder of Yost for having
been arrested and roughly handled by that
officer. He appeared before the Court with
an air OF the most perfect indifference. and
while Judge Walker, who pronounced his doom, was
much moved he only looked bored. When asked II ha
had anything to say why scntonco should be pro.
nounced he replied with curl Of his lip "well, I've
got this much to saymy lilo las been away by
perjury, and got justice in this court That Is ALL
judge Walker, amid the most profound silence. and
before large audience, proceeded 70 pronounce the
death sentence IN circfuily selected words In
allusiou to tho crime itself he said:- :-"You
hired nssassins and precipitatcd into eternity within

the Judge SAID iurther:"You have had fair tral by

Dunys hardened bearing seemed to impress the
Judge. and MS II suspecting that the murderer

A Very Loose Investigation

San Francisco, March S.-The even
ing papers print a list of 1927 names,
alleged in the report of the finance com
mittee of the board of supervisors to
have cast illegal votes at the recent gen.
eral election in this city. OF the list
1887 are foreigners 1905 being Irish,
800 Germans, and III English, the 9th
ers being ~variously distributed as to ma
tivity. A casual examination of the
list shows the names of mafy promi-
nent citizens, and old residents of all
walks in life, whose right to suffrage
has been unquestioned for years, IN
Guiding both native-born and natural
lied citizens. The county clerk him
self figures in the list, also a prominent
member of the Democratic state GER
trail committee. The work has evil
IDENTIFY been very carelessly performed,
and the list will probably be largely re-
duced on close criticism.

CONGRESSIONAL
SENATE.

Washington, March S.-After calling
the roll the Senate proceeded to take
action on the senator-elect from Ore
gon.
A motion to refer the credentials of
Morgan, from Alabama, to the election
committee was lost, and a resolution
that he be sworn was then adopted
unanimously, and Morgan was sworn
in.
Wallace called up the motion to seat
Grover of Oregon.
Sargent submitted the following sub
stitute:
Whereas, Underline Constitution and
laws, and practices of the Senate, La
fayette Grover, claiming to be a senator
from the State of Oregon, his creden-
tials being regular and Ill due form, and
there being no contestant for the seat.
is entitled to admission to a seat in this
body on the prima facie case presented
by such credentials, notwithstanding
the objections contained in the petition
Of citizens of the State of Oregon
against his admission, therefore;
Resolved, That the credentials of La
fayette Grover be taken from the table
and the oath of Office be administered
to him;
Resolved further. That the petitions
of citizens of Oregon, containing
charges against Lafayette Grover, lie
Oh the table until the committee on
privileges and elections is organized,
when they shall be referred to such
tials, with instructions to investigate
such charges and report as to their
truth or falsity.
Wallace accepted the substitute.
Conkling moved to amend by insert
ing i'll the preamble, after the words
nc contestant for seat" as follows;
land there being in said State but one
body claiming TO be the legislature and
but II person claiming to be governor
and there neing no doubt or dispute as
to the existence of II legal, rightful
State government The amendment
vas accepted by Sargent.
Conkling said he had heard it affirm
ed that the same reason which entitled
the governor to a seat on a prima facie
case entitled Kellogg to 4 seat on n pri-
ma facie case yesterday. If that posi-
ton was sound in law and sound in
truth, it proved conclusively the caprice
of those who voted to refer his creden-
tials yesterday.
The Senate, after Il lengthy discus
sion, agreed to the resolution to e
in Lafayette Grover as senator from
Oregon, and the oath was administered
to him by Vice-President Wheeler.
The Senate then went into executive
session.
Immediately after the Senate went
into executive session this afternoon
action was taken on the confirmation
of Sherman's nomination and it was
confirmed by n solid vote of Republican
senators, against % Democratic votes.
No attempt was made to con
firm the other cabinet nominees.
The Senate then adjourned.

PRESS OPINIONS
Regarding Hayes and His Cabinet Nom
p |4 - nations.

Chicago, March S.-The Tribune
says: The refusal of the Senate to
promptly confirm the cabinet appoint
ments OF Hayes was a departure from
the traditional usage, and is accounted
for on the supposition that several of
the Senators took this method of man.
ifesting their resentment for the Presi-
dents disregard of their respective
wishes and claims in the selection of
his cabinet, and his determination to
form his own administration. 1t is not
believed this manifestation of spite will
defeat the confirmation of the cabinet
selections, but if such should be the
temper of the Senate, President Hayes
would still be able to have his chosen
advisers in spite of the opposition of
the Senate, by simply giving notice
that he has no, further business with
that body, and thus putting III end to
the extra session. 40
The Times editorially says: Hayes
must let the country know whether he
is to be the passive tool of the evil
characters hat have hitherto led the
administration party, Dr. the positive
and %untlinching leader of a new admin
istration policy which the more liberal
of his supporters have claimed that he
would be. Whether he has the courage
to fight and the strength to overthrow
the Blaine-Morton gang or not, he
must do so or his administration will
utterly fail. From this alternative he
can find nc way of escape.
The Inter-Ocean, while doubling the
feasibility of retaining churz, acknowl-
edges his great ability, and favors al
lowing the President TO call about him
his own advisers, and deprecates the
action of the Senate yesterday. Sher-
man, Thompson, McCrary, and per-
haps Devens, stand for the more pro-
nounced element of Republicanism;
Schurz and Key represent the liberal
and conservative element; and Evarts
occupies a halfway ground. 1t is not
a body promising great unanimity of
thought, but it has plenty of brains,
and ought to be tried until the Presi-
dent =at-ieast =is=satistied that he has
committed an error in assembling men
of antagonistic views as his confiden-
tial advisors. MOI
The Times says: "In these selections
the President has given the country the
first distinct indication that he intends

The Cabinet Outlook.

Washington, March s.-Last nights
outlook regarding the confirmation of
cabinet appointments has not material
ly changed to-day, except, perhaps, in
the case of Schurz, against whom the
opposition seems to be gaining some adj
ditional strength. Some Democrats
advocate opposition to Evarts' confirm
alton on account of his extreme views.
Schurz's nomination encounters much
more opposition among the Republicans
than that of Evarts, or ever that of
j ey. The grounds of opposition are
not only political, but bitterly personal,
as he made many enemies while in the
Senate by his pronounced independence
of party ties and his frequently rel
cised powers of sarcasm. His confirma-
ton will also be opposed by some Re-
publicans from a di~spassionate belief
that lie don't possess business expert
ence and administrative ability enough
for the proper discharge of the multi
farious duties of the Secretary of the
Interior. There seems to be no doubt
that the Democrats will all vote for
Key, and that his confirmation is there
fore certain,

NIGHT REPORT.
WASHINGTON
Republican Senatorial Caucus.

Washington, March S.-The Repub-
lican Senators held a this MORN
ing, at which the report of the commit
tee appointed to revise the standing
committees was submitted and adopt
ed. The minority gets increased repre-
s~entation, so that instead of three, the
Democrats will have four places out of
nine on each non-political committee,
with perhaps the exception of one or two
committees which are of a quasi-politi-
cal character. The Republicans have
provided for Senator Davis, of Illinois,
by assigning him to the judiciary com
mittee and the committee on revision of
the laws.
The Democratic lists are not yet COM
pleted, and therefore no election of
committees will he possible before to-
morrow. The Republican members of
the new finance committee will he Nor
rill, chairman, Ferry, J. p. Jones, AL
lison and Davis.
There was a constant stream of visi-
tors at the Executive mansion to-day,
and several delegations interested in
appointments to be made. The Presi-
dent said such matters could not be en-
tertained until the question of his cabi-
net Is settled.

FATAL PANIC.
Six Women and a Boy Trampled to
Death in a Church.

Death in a Church.
New York, March S.-A panic in the
church of st. Francis Xavier, on Six
tenth street, near Sixth avenue, to-
night, was caused by the rush of IL wo-
man from II of the galleries, and in
the tumult which ensued six ONE
and one boy were trampled under foot
and killed. The audience was composed
entirely of women and children, it be-
ing evening service. The number of
persons injured could not be ascer-
tanned, Father Langcoke was preach
ing a sermon and had been speaking
about ten minutes, when IL woman went
into a hysterical fit in the gallery.
This created quite a stir, and the COM
motion increased in the endeavors of
the crowd to find out what was the
matter. At this juucture a cry of fire
was heard, and a rush was made for
exit from the gallery. The doorway
was blocked for a moment by a very
large woman, and this check caused the
panic to increase tenfold. The crowd
hurled women down steps. In the rush
that followed. seven persons were
crushed to death, and many others in
iured, and their clothing torn from
them. The wounded were taken be-
fore the names could be learned. The
bodies of the dead were identified At
the station house a heartrending scene
was presented. The people in the body
of the church were qcieted and dis
missed in an orderly manner.
