PRESIDENTIAL PROBLEM.

Solued by the Congressional Committee.
Washington, Jan. 1s.-The report of
the Congressional joint committee starts
out with the statement that the subject
has been most carefully considered, and
they believe the bill accompanying it is
best calculated to effect the desired re-
suit. In the opinion Of the committee,
the bill does not violate any part of the
Constitution. The Constitution re-
quires the electoral votes to be counted
on particular occasion. All will agree
that these are the votes of the States,
and when found and identified there is
only clerical work to be done in count
ing them. This bill is merely to ascer-
tain what are the constitutional votes
of the States, and whatever jurisdiction
exists for such purpose, the bill only
regulates the methods of exercising it.
The language of the Constitution is
ample for all such cases. 1t declares
that Congress shall make all necessary
laws to execute the mandates of the
Constitution, and therefore this bill
cannot be assailed as unconstitutional.
1t is the fundamental principle of
the government that the will of the
people lawfully expressed shall be as
certained and carried into effect, and
to this end the committee would refer
disputed States to a tribunal composed
of members of the Senate, House and
Supreme court, equally represented
politically, with the odd number in the
judiciary selected by an agency the
farthest removed from partizan power.
This course will be freefrom hot disputes
and dangerous results, and cannot fail
to give some degree of satisfaction to
the disappointed party.
The committee claim that, consider
ing the unsettled condition of business
throughout the country and the serious
apprehensionso of the people, concessions
must be made by both parties in the in
terest of justice and patriotism, and
call attention to the unanimity of opin-
ion expressed by the members compos-
ing its body, who represent equally
both political elements. The report is
signed by thirteen members of the COM
mittee, Senator Morton alone refusing.

Bold Train Robbery.

Bold Tram RoO6efy.
i Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Three masked
men entered the outgoing express car
on the Chicago, Alton and st. Louis r.
R., last night, as the train stopped at
the Burlington crossing, inside the city
limits. They hastily overpowered the
express messenger and baggageman,
and went through the safe, which con-
tanned about twenty-five thousand dol
lars in valuables, but in their hurry did
the work so bunglingly that they left
behind all except package for Spring
field, Ills, containing about S143 and
some drafts for collection. They left
the train after it had gone about eight
blocks, and have not been discovered.
Later.
Three men have just been arrested
charged with the robbery. Detectives
have been on their track for some
hours.

TELEGRAPH
NIGHT REPORT.
WASHINGTON.
secretaru Chandler on a.e Stand.

Secretary Chandler on tie Stand.
Washington, Jan. 1S.-The commit
tee on the powers, privileges and duties
of the House in counting the electoral
vote had Secretary Chandler before
them this morning. He was accompa-
MED by his stenographer. Field asked
him if he was prepared to answer by
whose authority he sent the telegram
to Gov. Stearns promising troops. Sec
retary Chandler said he was not pre-
pared to answer. He was asked if any
copy. of the telegram to Gov. Stearns
was in existence-the telegram sent on
the 9Th or 9th of November. He an
swered, not that he was aware of. He
kept no copy of it and could not tell
who wrote it. He thought, however,
that he sent it to Gov. Stearns. He
stated that he declined to answer be-
cause of the confidential character
of the matter.
The Louisiana Returning Board.
Gen. Anderson and Ex-Governor
Wells, of the Louisiana returning
board, arrived this morning, and were
arrested by the sergeant-at-arms of the
House. An officer of the House left
last night for New Orleans to bring
Kenner and Cazanava, the remaining
members of the board, to the bar of the
House.
The Mississippi Bull-Dozers.
Washington, Jan. 1S.-Representa-

elections that in his opinion there
would have been Republican majori-
ty of 900 in Mississippi at the last
election, had the election been conduct
ed fairly. AS illustrative of the frauds
committed, witness stated that he was
at Kingston precinct, in Adams county,
from the opening Of the polls till two
O'Clock in the afternoon, and saw over
300 Republican votes polled, but when
the votes of that precinct were counted
there were only S5 Republican votes
among them. Witness stated that he
was sure the ballots were taken from
the box and replaced by Democratic
ballots during recess, which the inspec-
tors took for the purpose of eating din
ner.

aaLowIN's BRUSH WITH SITTING BULL.
Following the Trail Through Deep Snow
in Arctic Weather-Ths Capture
of the Village.

Following is an extract from Col.
Miles official report of the recent bat
tie with Sitting Bulls band:
Sitting Bulls band was again defeat
ed near the head of Red Water, Dec,
18th, by three companies Fifth infant
ry under command of Lieut.. Baldwin.
The Indian trail was obscured by a Sc
we're snow storm, when north of the
Missouri. and as the reports were con-
flicting,
DIVIDED MY FORCE,
taking three companies through the
Muscle shell and Dry Fork country,
and sending three down the north side
of the Missouri, four companies under
Captain Snyder being then on the Dry
Fork. Sitting Bull had crossed near
Wolf Point, but on the approach of
Baldwin's force, retreated back again,
at the head of his camp of 122 lodges.
He was driven south of the Yellow
stone, and his
CAMP CAPTURED
with many lodges standing, together
with 60 horses, mules and ponies. Eve
rything pertaining to an Indian village
was burned up. The Indians escaped
with very little besides what they had
on their backs. Lieut.. Baldwin and
the officers and troops with him are en-
titled to great credit. The command
has marched over five hundred miles,
making seventy-three miles in forty
eight hours, and endured the severity of
the Montana winter with
GREAT FoRTITUDE.
Five prominent chiefs of the Sioux
nation were killed by their old enemies,
the Crow scouts, at this point, on the
18th instant, while coming in bearing a
white flag, followed by some twenty or
thirty others. The guilty Crows es-
capped by flight. This affair was most
unfortunate as their coming in would
have secured the surrender Of at least
thousand fighting men.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE PILLS. These deser-
vedly celebrated and popular medicines
have effected a revolution i'll the heal
ing art, and proved the fallacy Of sew
eral maxims which have for many years
obstructed the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that
Consumption is incurable" deferred
physicians from attempting to find
remedies for that disease, and patients
afflicted with it reconciled themselves
to death without making an effort to
escape from doom which they suppos-
ed to be unavoidable. 1t is now proved,
however, that Consumption can be cured,
and that it has been cured in a very
great many cases (some of them appar-
emily desperate ones) by Schenck's Pull
monic Syrup alone; and in other cases
by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
to the requirements of the case.
DIR. Schenck himself, who enjoyed un-
interrupted good health for more than
forty years, was supposed at one time
to be at the very gate of death, his ply
sicians having pronounced his case
hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate.
He was cured by the aforesaid medi-
cines, and, since his recovery, many
thousand similarly affected have used
DR.. Schenck's preparations with the
same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, max
ing it not absolutely necessary to per-
sonally see DR.. Schenck unless patients
wish their lungs examined, and for this
purpose he is professionally at his prin-
cipal office, corner Sixth and Arch sts.,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must he addressed
Schenck's medicines are sold by all
druggists. j6-eod-tf

There is no person living but what

Coughs, Colds or Consumption, yet
some would die rather than pay rs cents
for bottle of medicine that would cure
them. DR.. A. Boschee's German Syrup
