Tho Colarnda Outrane.

The Democratic House has at last seated
Mr.. BELFoRD, the member from Colorado.
The outrageous proceedings by which he was
refused admission when the Senators from
that State were received without objection are
without parallel In the history Of the country
Even PRocToR KNOTT was forced TO dlsap-
prove them, but HuRD and souTHARD sue
ceeded in keeping Mr.. BELFoRD out of his
seat for two months. We are surprised that
man like HuRp should have been party TO
the outrage. He should have left the dirty
business to souTHARD, whose course in Con-
gress has shown that he Is mean enough and
small enough for any petty partisan work.

SHOCKING MURDER.
An Irish Laborer Kills His Mother.
BY TELEGRAPH to the National ReDublIcan.

my Ieiesraph 10 the National keDubllcan.l
New YORK, Feb. IA terrible story of
most brutal murder is reported from
Egbertyille, Staten Island, six miles from
the Vanderbilt Handing. Patrick Doian, a
laborer, resides with his aged mother and
his sister, Ann Dolan. About three o'clock this
morning Dolan arose and in m excited manner
commenced pacing the floor Of his room. HIS
mother, becoming alarmed, called out to him, but
received no answer.
with large club commenced an attack upon h'r
HIS sister Ann attempted to defend hGr mother,
when the niurated ter turned upon her, NJ d
she had to flee for her life to neighbor's house.
Dolan, finding that his sister had escaped, re-
turned to the object of his first attack, and beat
her with the club until life was extinct
He then seized an Ak, and with II struck man
who tried to prevent him from escaping, iniictng
a fearful wound over the mans left eye. After
attacking other members Of the family, he rushed
Into the street, where he was met by MIR. Curry,
sr., who attempted to arrest his progress. Dolan
the latter Eentleman's son, Sylvester, rushed out
OF his Residence, and, seizinB Dolan, rescued his
iather, whom he told to fetch a rope. A fearful
struggle then took place between Sylvester Curry
and the infuriated DOan, but the young man
succeeded In holding him long enough for the
tightly that he was entirely powerless.
DoIan Ia undoubtedly Insane. warrant hal
been Issued for his arrest on this ground, and DR..
Millsburg, the otrcial in charge OF such matters,

The Eastern War CIoud.

Active hostile preparations are being prose-
cuted both In Turkey and Russia. Although
the Sultan has promised to enforce the pro-
visions Of the new Constitution and carry out
the proposed reforms, still the Gar looks
upon these promises with great misgivings,
and is evidently preparing for the occupation
of Bulgaria, Bosnia and Servia. Notwith-
standing the fact that Russia is the most
powerful nation In Europe, she will fiud II
gigantic task to overthrow the Ottoman EN-.
pire. The natural position OF Turkey is one
of the most defensible in Europe. 1t may al
most be said to be imprcguable when we'll de-
Tended, and the millary strength of the Porte
will enable him to give a strong defense In
case Of an attack or invasion from the Cos
sacks. The forces comprising the Turkish
army are as follows; Active troops-lsOIS
battalions Of 500 men each, 1i2 squadrons of
1856 men each, and 204 batteries Of 104 men
each, pioneer regiment Of II, 900 men, and the
artillery Of the Notifications, served by 900
men-in all 1914 900 men the reserves of the
first call, 1856 battalions, 1874 500 men the re-
serves Of the second call, 40 battalions, 12O,-
900 men; the corps Of gendarmes, 65 battalions,
$1,000 men battalion Of palace grenaders,
900 men; 80 newly formed Armenian bat
talions, "a 900 men; 20newly formed battalions
of the Tilaret of sidin, 10000 men Bedouins
from Damascus and Palmyra, 800 men de-
tachments from Tunis, Tripoli and Egypt, 400
men Bashi- Bazouks, Circassians and other
irregular troops, 100000 men-in all 64i, ,5l2
men. Thus It will be seen that Russia, In
crossing swords with the Mussulman En-
pcror, will attempt a bloody enterprise, that
will require all her energies and resources TO
accomplish.

but oil tho galleries were soon filled.
The House was called TO order at II o'clock for
Its ordinary legislative business, and there was an
unusually large attendance Of members 10 hoar

The resding Of the Journal was thcn ordered.
The practice Is ordinarily to omit the full textof
resolutions and communications, but, In order to
commune time, the reading Of nil such was de-
mandcd this morning, the object being to prevent
action on the resolutions reported from the special

utes Of one the House took recess for ten minutes
at the expiration Of which time the House was
again called to order
The House then resumed legislative business.
MIR. HOPKINS, OF Pa, moved the previous
question on the resolutions reported yesterday
evening from the special committee appointed to
investigate the Florida election.
After some discussion II was agreed that the
subject should be postponed until Saturday after
the reading Of the Journal.
Mr.. KASSON called attention to the fact that
the NTH section Of the bill In relation to the count
Of the vote was peculiarly worded, and many
gentlemen construed II as meaning that until d
question was declared tho House could not ad-
journ, but that II could take recess not beyond
10 o'clock the next day. Ho therefore suggested
a recoss.
The SPEAKER said that II that construction
should prevail, Ave or six actual days might run
Into the legislative day Of Thursday. He would
however, suggest o recess, as suggested by Mr..
KAssoN, and In tho meantime the presiding ON.
GERS Of the two Houses could determine what con-
struotion to give the section.
Tho House then, at 1886, took recess until 10

A BeIated GrowI from Bartlett.

1t has come at last. Bartlett, Of the New
York Sun, has spoken. Since the compromise
plan was proposed not word has escaped his
pen up to the last issue Of the Sun, when he
broke loose In nearly two columns on the uu-
constitutionality Of the bill. Bartlett is a
very sly dog. We scarcely believed that he
would bark even so soon. We prophesed q
while ago that Bartlett would wait until the
mixed tribunal had declared Hayes elected,
and then he would have Mr.. Tilden bring the
case before the Supreme Court on quo rar-
rdnto, for the purpose Of having that body
pass upon the constitutionality of the act
But when he learned that Justice Bradley had
been selected as the fifth Judge, he could con-
tain himself no longer. He pitches into the
compromise plan like mad, and asks the
sovereign people Of America II they realize the
awful character Of the measure over which
they are just now delerious with Joy. He
predicts chaos In the future and lively
rumpus very coon, and in summing up his long
and very able article he says:
To guard against wholly imaginary evils great
positive mistakes have been committed; the Su-
prcme Court has been degraded; the Senate and
time honored as that which forbids q third term
have been dlsregarded; tho one-man power has
received stab. Safety, peace and honor lay in
the beaten track. Brave men and statesmen
should not have been frightened from It by o
shadow.
There is Niger In the wood-pile. Bartlett
knew all this when the compromise was under
consideration, and, although an able constltu.
tional lawyer, he failed to put in protest.
Bartlett expected something to turn up.
Justice Davis was not selected, and for that
reason he opposes the mixed tribunal. Bart
lett may growl, but 1t is too late. The law
will remain q law all the same.

LittIeneId's Fabrieations.

The name which heads this article has sud
denly, like CRoNIN's, become notorious. He
is attempting to do, by his testimony, what
the Oregon elector failed to do by his vote
assist the Democracy. In this he has over
leaped himself and fallen on the other side.
He has sworn TO statements which the
facts In the case prove to be unwarranted and
which are false. In his eagerness to
recover to the Democracy their moneys
worth he has injured their cause and
covered himself with the opprobrium OF a
perjurer. In his testimony he swears that
Governor WELLS told him to change the 17S
votes in the Vernon parish from the Demo-
cratic side to the Republican In order to secure
victory for the latter. It now turns out that
this is false on the face oft, because one of
the three offices Of Senator, Judge and Dis.
trct Attorney was already Democratic, and
the other two were Republican and did not
need the IT'S votes TO make 1t secure, as Lit
tlefeld testified. This over-anxious witness
also lestiaes that Governor WELLS directed him
to throw out the Vernon polls and he would
furnish sfldavits respecting intimidation and
violence afterwards. Last night dispatches
from the most authentic source in New Or,
leans stated that the records have been ex-
amined and the fact disclosed that the affida-
yits were made in proper form and filed with
the returns on the 18th of November, a long
time before the returns were acted upon and
the polls rejected. And certified copies OF
these aifdayts are now on their way to Wash
ington.
The perndy Of such an attempt on the part
of the Democracy to influence by false teSti-
mony the mixed tribunal is only equaled by
the mutilated and transparent way in which
II Is presented.
