COMPLETE LIST OF BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS INTRO
DUCED FROM THE RECESS TO MARCH 49, ASKING
FOR MONEY TO SECURE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE sOUTH-wHAr THE SESSION HAS
BROUGHT FoRTH-THE GRAND TOTAL.
The TRIBUNE's list of bills and resolutions intro
duced in the Senate and House of Representatives,
prior to the holiday to secure public improve
ments in the South, attracted wide attention. 1t
was then announced that with every chance to oher
new bills fresh demands were made. Below is
given complete list of the bills introduced for the
same purpose in the Senate and House from the
reassembling of Congress after the holiday recess to
March 49, Sufficient data not at hand to deter
mine exactly the amount called for by each BILL
The sum total of the items extended in the list Is
ST.. .O97 522. careful estimate of those not car
ried out makes their sum $25,O00,OOO The total
amount asked for, therefore, since the recess ana
down to March 49, is not less than $i2.OOO,OoO.
At least $50, 100000 was asked for before the
recess. From the assembling of Congress, therefore,
until March 1S, bills and resolutions have been
introduced in the Senate and House calling for at
least SI02,OOO,OOO to secure public improve
ments in the South. This list it must be understood,
does not include any private claims:-

hurried off to the government building.
where they were locked up In close
pen. Here they were kept all day,
crowded together, without food or drink,
to the great annoyance and worry Of their
friends and relations, who did not know
what had become Of the missing ones, They
were thus kept imprisoned In this den unless
they promised not IT, vote. Most Of them
frightened at this Imprisonment and threats
agreed to the terms offered and thus dis
franchised themselves several, however
made the promise but afterward voted. These
were rearrested. loclSed-up again and refused
bail Many of them lost their positions il
consequence Of this imprisonment, being I'm.
able to get back to their work when they
should have done 80.
Such is the petition of the disfranchised
voters Of New York which has just been pre-
scented to Congress by Mr.. Wood, together
with motion to appoint a committee to in
vestigate these outrages. A similar state OF
affairs can be shown In several other Ameri-
can cities voters l-treated, imprisoned and
intimidated by Federal officials. II there Is
one matter into which Congress should look
il Is this. There mlst be an end to Federal

The mule Is forcing himself into consider
able prominence just now. Following the I'M
fortunate accident in South Carolina. which
threatens to deprive the South Of one of its
noblest sons and truest representatives, comes
the Darlington affair. On last Thursday the
whole population OF Darlington, Ky. where
the St Bernard coal mine Is situated, were
startled by a terrible shock. which shattered
windows, knocked over chimneys and de-
stroyed buildings. 1t was ut first thought
that this was an earthquake. and the fright
ened population dashed into the streets
hardly knowing what to do 1t was soon
discovered that the shock was not that
of m earthquake, but an explosion in
the mine. The whole city turned out, the
women and children weeping and crying over
tho supposed loss of husbands and fathers.
They gathered around the mouth OF the pit
from which poured clouds OF smoke For
more than an hour an agonizing suspense
prevailed. Then from the pit slowlyemerged
man after man. until all were found to have
escaped but one. The rescued men soon ex-
planned the explosion. recalcitrant mule
in the mine had got into kicking fit. had
kicked right and left until his hoofs unfortu-
nately reached can OF nitro gl ycerine.
There is no need Of telling any more. The
unfortunate mule was one of the victims of
his own bad temper and obstinacy, and IS
entirely missing, save one hOOf.

The story SGT atloat by old Simon Cameron
that his brother, who commanded New
York regiment at the battle Of Manassas. was
shot down by order OF Gen. Wade Hampton
after he had surrendered. Is tapidly assuming
the proportions of a base and malicious SLAM
der. Members Of Col. Camerons regiment In
various parts Of the country are promptly de-
nying it, and in doing 50 give the true manner
of his death. They all agree that when the
fatal shot struck him tho Coniedoratcs were
several hundred yards away, concealed from
view by intervening woods, and that death
ensued before the regiment surrendered. Gen
Hampton needed no vindication, for no one
believed the ancient Pcnnsylvanian's charge;
nevertheless it Is gratifying to see 50 many
former foes coming forward with such con
elusive proofs Of the falsity Of Mr.. Cameron's
statement No Calumny was more clearly
established

The detectives are on the trail OF Stewart g
body The telegraph tells of them in three
different sections OF the Union. In the quiet
old town of fredericksburg n gang OF them
was discovered the other day tracking a
Virginia corpse which was supposed to be
Stewards; another lot were discovered at the
same time in Chicago; and third party have
just been found loating around a graveyard
in Newburyport, Conn, where, they thought,
they had reason to believe that Stewart had
been planted. They were waiting there for a
fair opportunity to dig up the corpse, make
for New York with it and claim that $4,000
reward. The detectives after Stewart body
will soon become as dangerous, as great pub
lie nuisances as the ghouls who stole that
celebrated stiff"

The unearthing Of tho test oath repeal bill,
found In one Of the Senate oommittee-rooms
by Senator Eustis, and his insistence that the
bill should betaken up at once that an odious
provision might be struck from the statutes,
had the effect OF bringing Senator Chrstiancy
to his feet with q weak explanation Of the de-
lay in bringing the matter before the Senate
1t also had the effect Of securing promise
that the bill should be reported at an early
day. Senator Eustis will doubtless continue
his pursuit OF this bill and force 1t TO a direct
vote. By doing SO he will cause political
trials In Federal courts In the South to be
something more than a mockery, As the mat
ter now stands, the law seems framed for the
purpose OF keeping intelligent and unpreju-
diced men out Of the jury box. That at least,
is the effect of it,

THE JACKSON RAILROAD BONDS,

The Judgment of the Supreme Court, rem

binary laches of our late city ADMINISTRATORS
Tho city being sued On the bones $3.50, ooG

company, Joined In the suit. It appears it
did not make any defense against this ciaim
and therefore the Supreme Court renders
| Judgment against the city; and, correcting
the judgment Of the lower court appealed
from by the cty. renders Judgment also
against tho railroad company as indorser OF
said bonds.
And these bonds, 1t appears are OF the same
| class as the bonds sued on in the United
States Circuit Court. where also Judgment
was rendered against the city sithoM defen
II was only afterwards, when the party OBJ
tanning this judgment asked the Circuit
Court for a mandamus against the city to
impose q tax to pay these bonds, that Judge
Billings decided that these bonds were tainted
with nuIlity, according TO the provisions OF
the thrty-seventh section Of the act Of 1862.
The failure of the city to dispute bonds
which were TAINTED Win nudity anu COLI
trary to the provisions Of section 81 Of the act
| Of 1867 may well excite the surprise of tax
payers Such laches ought to convey n use
| full warning and lesson to the present admin
istration whose obvious duty to the taxpay
ers is to avail itself of all legal defensrs
against all claims and demands. Should the
defense successfully set up in Judge Billings
court, based ON the provisions Of the thirty
seventh section of the act Of 1852, be EN-
ployed against all bonds similarly tainted"
the bonded debt OF the city would be reduced
to figure which could be easily managed
without depressing the taxpayers As for the
debt protected by that act, we repeat what
has been before stated in these columns, the
taxpayers have no reason to apprehend any
such increase OF burdens rs the Picdyune and
Times labor 50 zealously TO frighten tho tax
payers with. There can be no doubt Of an
arrangement Of this debt by which it will be
scarcely felt by The taxpayers, whilst through
it's acknowledgement the city will be placed
beyond the legal compulsion to pay n debt Of
five times that amount.

The Virginia Legislature is very anxious to
solve the question whether their next session
is regular or extra. The constitution OF Vir-
ginia provides for biennial sessions. The usual
way of getting around such provision Is to
cali an extra session every off year. The Vir-
ginia constitution endeavors to prevent this
ny allowing only half pay for extra sessions.
Hence the solicitude of the Legislature, which
Is trying TO prove that biennial sessions mean
sessions every year.
