A CONFESSION AS TO CRONIN.
SENATOR KELLY TELLS ABOUT TILDES'S MONEY II

TBr TELEGRAPH To THE rRIBUSE. I

WASHINGTON Feb. 13.-The Senate gave strik-
ing example of its loQuacity to-day and of ITS
facility for wandering off from pending question
10 consider irrelevant matters. The Committee on
Privileges and Elections wanted a resolution passed
for the arrest of Conrad c. Jordan the cashier or the
Third National Bank of New-York, where Mr.. Ilden
is supposed TO keep his deposits. Mr.. Jordan mas
been subpenaed, but declines to appear. Upon this
resolution the Senate managed TO debate the oregon
election trick for the whole afternoon. The time
was not altogether wasted, however, for Senator
Kelly put himself voluntarily into the confessional.
He gave an entertaining explanation Of how Mr..
Tildens money was used in setting up Cronins Elec-
toral College. He said only $4,000 was obtained
from NewYork; the other IS, 900 sent by telegraph
was not used, and applied for only because the
first remittance forwarded by Patrick from San
Francisco had not been received, and because few
prominent Democrats had given their notes to Ladd
& Bush, the bankers for the money needed I'M
mediately The $1,000 in currency produced
81 300, of which only $4,000 was used, including
what was paid to Cronin.
Mr.. Kelly said he thought Cronin got too much,
but he insisted on having So 900 to compensate him
for damage TO his law business, and that amount
was paid him; the rest of the money used 10 re-
tain lawyers when it was supposed that legal pro-
ceediugs would arise. The funny part of Mr. Kelly 5
speech was his sticking Cronn and declaring that
he should be much disappointed if the Commission
did not order his vote TO be counted. 1t was very
droll that the Senator should have full faith that
Cronin had made Tilden President, and at the same
time should have characterized the important ser
vices of that person as overpaid with the pary
Of 81. 900. The resolution to bring Cashier Jordan
before the bar of the Senate was adopted with no
open opposition except from Senator Salisbury.
All the Democrats voted to adjourn, however, TO
stave OFT the adoption of the resolution.

THE SECRETARIES REPORTS.
THE ARMY.


The report of the Secretary of War is
mainly devoted to an argument against the
reduction of the army and for it's increase,
This argument is supported by recital of
the services of the United States troops in
the Indian war, which was recently con-
cluded by the surrender Of Chief Joseph, in
the suppression of the communistic riots of
July, and on the Mexican frontier. The
praise which Mr.. McCrary awards to the
officers and men who have been engaged in
the arduous services which have kept the
army prominently in the public eye during
the past six months is all of It we'll deserved
The admirable manner in which the offi>

THE NOVEMBER COURT.

CIVIL AND CRIMINAL CAsEs-MORE LIoUoT
CASES.
l NEW CASTLE, Dec. 8, 1877.
MORNING SESSION,
! Ihe Court opened this morning at L
O'Clock, Chief Justice Comegys and Asso-
ciate Justices Wootten and Houston, on the
bench.
The civil list was at once taken up.
The first case reached was that of George
Adele VS.. Robert Taylor. The action was
on promissory note for $500, with interest
from December 1870. The note was made
in favor of August Bickta. After due proof
OF demand and non-payment the jury ren-
dered a verdict in favor of plaintiff for
$7sS ", principal and interest.
The next case was that of William Gr,er
vs.. Victor Dehan. This was an action
brought by the plaintiff for damages, be,
cause Of deceit and Misrepresentation, a.
the Improvements and character of a farm
situate at Boscobe, Crawford county. Wis
consn. 1t appeared that the plaintiff and
defendant had agreed between each other
to rent to defendant certain farm. on
which there was said to be house with
i've or six rooms in 1t, with about 80 acres
OF cleared land fenced, and a line fence
girding the entire property. Upon the faith
of these representations Grier gave up
situation which paid him $500 per year, and |
started in the month of Decemberf 1875. for
Wisconsin. 1t cost him about 500 to trans |
port his wife and family to the west, and |
when they reached there in mid.winter,
'here was no house on the place it was
perfect wilderness. Starvation stared them
n the face, compelling a return to VIII
nington without being able to enter into
possession of the farm, and, as alleged, lost
lis wife in Milwaukee from the result of
exposure and hardship in Crawford county
While searching for the farm.
John Logue, who knew both parties, and
vas present when the matter was talked

main sustained the opening by his testimony.
