COLUMBIA, 8. G., April 25.-In
the House to-day, the democrats
passed preamble and resolutions
declaring all members of the late
Mackey House in contempt, and
referring their credentials to q
joipt committee on judiciary and
privileges and elections to pass
upon their legality and title to
seats. This action was 6ercely
contested by republican members
of the Wallace House. who held
that the members OF the Mickey
House, although they had done
wrong, were entitled upon a prima
facie showing to their seats. The
committee has already gone to
work, and will report tomorrow.
The probability is that the menu
bers of the Mackey House, with
the exception Of five or six, will be
admitted.
The proceedings in the Senate
we're unimportant. The gover-
nor's message is expected to-
morrow.

The Last Sioux Treaty.
IN Y. Sun.

WASHINGTON, April 25.--The law
passed by the Fourty fourth Con-
gress carrying into effect the con-
ditions OF the last Sioux treaty,
provides for the removal of the en-
tire body of Sioux to reservation
in southeastern Dakota, just north
of the Nebraska State line. This
removal is to include not only the
hostiles recently brought in by
Spotted Tail, but all the Indians
at the Spotted Tail aud Red Cloud
agencies, numbering nearly two
thousand lodges, or about ten
thousand souls. A march of about
$50 miles from the present camp
ing ground of the tribe will be
necessary to effect the removal.
The Indian Bureau proposed to
make the removal by June l, and
dispatch was recently sent by
Gen. Sherman to Sheridan asking
if the change was practicable at
that date. Upon communicating
with Gen. Crook Gen. Sheridan
announces that it is the opinion Of
the officers in charge at the agen-
cies that the date is too early. The
matter remains accordingly under
adyisement.

The Red Man HulnbIed.

New YoRK, April 25.-A Red
Cloud Agency telegram says:
Gen. Crook viii leave here to-
morrow for Chicago to consult
with Gen. Sheridan upon Indian
matters, and will probably 80 to
Washington.
Conriers continue ! to arrive
daily from Crazy Horse, report
ing his approach to this agency
with all his people. They will
doubtless be here within q week,
when the Sioux war may be COM
sidered at an end, as there will
be no hostiles in this department,
and the fow remaining out under
Sitting Bull in the department of
Dakota will find II impossible to
protract bostilities.

WASHINGTON, April % Last
night Kellogg, Pitkin and Andei-
son informed the agent of the As
sociated Press that the President
had agreed to appoint John e.
King Collector of the Port OF New
Orleans. This report has this
much foundation: John Sherman
has agreed to exhaust his influence
to secure the appointment OF King,
whom the carpet-baggers agreed
to accept as compromise, when
they found it impossible to secure
the appointment of Anderson or
Packard. 1t is not impossible that
King may be appointed, but the
statement of Kellogg and Pitkin
that his appointment had already
been determined on, raises ques-
ton Of veracity between them and
the President, which, to say the
least, ought not to seriously affect
the Presidents reputation.

Our Navy.
ICourier-J journal.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Some
three weeks ago the Secretary Of
the Navy sent instructions to Rear
Admiral John Il. Wolden, COM
manding the United States Eul op-
can feet, TO move his vessels mp
to the Bosphorus, or on his ar
rival there to ask permission OF
the Turkish authorities to go up
to Constantinople. Under the ex-
isting regulations of the Turkish
government, no vessels Of war are
allowed to enter the Golden Horn
without special permission. They
are, however, permitted to enter
the Bosphoras, where there is good
anchorage, and from whence they
can send steam launches up to the
city. There is no doubt that Ad-
miral Worden will be permitted to
take his fleet up to the city Of
Constantinople. He has also been
instructed to keep close watch
over American interests on the
Mediterranean and in the neigh
borhood Of ConstantiIople, espe-
cially pending the war between
Russia and Turkey. The Secre-
tary Of the Navy is disposed to re-
inforce the European feet, not
merely for the purpose of making
show Of force in that quarter

Why She Stopped Her Paper

She came bouncing through the sane
tum door like cannon ball, and with
out pausing to sag, How dye do?'
she brought her umbrella down on the
table with q mighty crash, and shouted:
=" / want you to sop my paper"
All right, madam"
i" Stop it right of too, /" sac persisted,
whacking the table again, /" for ! waited
long enough for you to do the square
thing"
She quoted down for moment. as
we ran our finger down the list of names,
and when we reached hers and scratch
ed it out, she said:
"There, now melDe you II DO as you'd
ought to after thf, and not slight a
woman jes' cause she poor If some rich
folks happen to have little read-h
ed, bandy-legged, squint-eyed, wheezy
squaller born to them you puff it up to
the skies, and make it out an angel; but
when poor people have baby you don't
say a word about it, even if it is the
squarest-toed, blackest-haired, biggest
headed, nobbiest little kid that ever
kept a woman awake nights. That's
what's the matter, and that's why |
stopped my paper"
And she dashed out as rapidly as she
came.

Freaks of the Imagination.

The freaks of the imagination are often
singular, especially when it is stimulated
by the excitement of battle. In the
skirmish at Peach Hill, on the Red
River, a Federal officer dropped his
bride and threw up his arms, exclaming,
" / am hit" A brother officer helped
him from his horse. My boot is full of
blood, said the /" hit officer, as he was
carried to ambulance "Good bye" re-
marked the brother officer to himself,
g | shall attend a funeral tomorrow. J"
The next day the officer who thought
himself hit appeared at headquarters
as we'll as ever. He had been hit by a
spent ball, which had broken the skin
and drawn few drops of blood One
day at Port Hudson a man came limp
ing off the field supported by two
soldiers. He said his leg had been
broken by ball. The surgeon was sur
prised to find no hole in the mans stock
ing. Cutting it OF he found a black
and-blue mark on the nothing more.
A friend advised the imaginative man to
send the stocking to his sweetheart as a
trophy.
