cease. Maj. Burke was interviewed at New
| orleans about the so-called electoral bar
gain, yesterday. He defended President
hayes and the Southern Democratic Con-
gressmen from the charges of party infideI-
ity aud said the people OF Louisiana had ex-
pressed no favor for the electoral bill they
regarded it as a means of letting Mr.. Tilden
down easy; they hld been led to expect
that Mr.. Tilden aud the Democratic
party North would claim their rights
ana It needs be enforce them. Regarding the
counting of the vote, he said: '.Mr. Til
den's managers in Washington had schemes
tor defeating the count i'm the Senate and
Tor holding new election under Conkling,
put the party had never authorized them
know positively that Senator Conklng
had speech all prepared in favor CT throw
ing out the vote OF Louisiana, in which
event he was to have been elected President
~ the senate and would have become
President OF the United States pending the
new election which would have taken place
year afterwards. Mr.. Tilden's friends
were satisfied with this arrangement
because they thought that with his wounds
securing the Democratic nomination, and
Senator Conkling doubtless thought that
with the control of the patronage he
would easily shelve Mr.. Hayes and become
the Republican candidate. The canse which
prevented an attempt at carrying this pro-
Sramme out was the distrust felt by Mr.
CoHkling's adherents of the Republican
side of the caryet-ba9 Senators from the
Southern States. They were all ready
enough to Slaughter Hayes because they
had become alarmed 1t some of his utter |
ances and at Grants declaations but it was |
feared that instead of supporting Senator
Conkling they might vote for Morton as
they probably would have done.

QUEER ROW IN AN ANCIENT TOWN.
BARCELONA FORTY-THRCE NIGHTS WITHOUT GAS
THE GOVERNMENT ORDERS THE SHOPS TO KEEP
OPEN.
LONDON, Monday, May 81, 1873.
There was a stormy debate in the Spanish Cortes
at Madrid Saturday, i'll regard to the troubles
at Barcelona.
1t seems that the agitation i'll the latter clty
grew out of the resistance of the people to a munich
pal tax on gas which the gas companies, 10 indcIG-
nifty Themselves assessed on their consumers. Pri-
vate and public establishments ceased Burning gas
for forty-thrcc evenings. and the shops closed at
sunset. Crowds collected in front of the few houses
which continued to gas. The loss Of the two
gas companies consequent upon these proceedings
amounts to several thousand dollars daily. The
city authorities cndeavored to compel the shops to
keep Opcn and the Governor issued proclamation
to that effect. Local journals are fined and sus-
pended for protesting, and ten are under prosccu-
ton The Minister of the Interior supports the r1U-
nlcipal authorities, and the agitation Is Increasing.
The speakers of the Opposition III the COrtcS AZ
tackled the Governments policy. The disorder was
50 great that the President of the Chlmucr closed
the sitting amid great uproar before the Opposition
speakers had an opportunity 10 be heard. lhc lat
ter were very indignant and declared that they
would abstain from further attendance unless the
debate should he renewed.
In the CortcS to-day the President explained his
conduct in sunmaIIly closing the session. 1ho
members of the Opposition thcrcup0n agreed 10 re-
sumo their seats, and the debate the Barcelona
agitation was continued.
