WASHINGTON.
DOOrkecper Polk,s Examination

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The personal ex-
animation of Colonel J. w. Polk, Door
keeper of the House, with reference to the
charge of official malfeasance and inca
pacity preferred against him, was continued
Yesterday. He stated that he acknowledged
to the Committee on Accounts, when asked
for the extra roll of three thousand eight
hundred, that he had acted in violation OF
the law, and that the Committee approved
of the account because they thought that
the extra force was needed.
Col. Polk made numerous corrections in
the phraseology and figures of the testimo-
ny given by him the day previous, which,
however, did not appear to change the char
question as to why it was that pages were
on the floor who were not authorized to be
there, Col. Polk said that it was almost i'm
possible to keep them off, because, in great
many Gases, the members themselves
brought these boys on the floor by means of
passes obtained from the Speaker, who never
refuses pass to anybody.
Colonel Polk was examined with refer
ence to the employees on the soldiers roll,
whom the law requires to be disabled sol
diers of the Union army and who receive
higher pay than other employees OF sim
liar character. He acknowledged never
having required any evidence as to their
having been disabled in the late war be-
yond their own statements or that of their
respective representatives. One of these
disabled soldiers was shown to have been
but fourteen years of age when the war
closed, and another's fighting record was
confined to term of service in Boston
militia company.
In response to question whether he did
not suppose it was intended to give these
men on the soldiers rolp' a higher COM
pensation on account Of their suffering in
the service of their country, Col. Polk said
that he did not entertain that view, but con,
sidered the whole business mere matter OF
sentiment.
The examination brought out the fact
that Polk had son and daughter upon the
pay roll, and that the daughter does all the
work required of her at home. He admit
ted that a number of his appointments were
made by him for personal reasons.

THE FLEET TO FORCE THE PASSAGE.


LONDON, Feb. 1873 A. M.-William FL.
Smith, First Lord of the Admiralty, reply
ing to question in the House of Commons
last night, stated that the orders which have
been sent to Admiral Hornby were clear
and distinct and sent on the Governments
responsibility; but it would be inconsistent
with his duty to state their nature.
The Press Association says it is under
stood that Admiral Hornby is instructed to
force the Dardanelles with, if necessary, the
whole of his feet of iron-clads The matter
caused a long discussion in to-day's Cabinet
Council
Vetik Effendi's declaration on Monday in
the Turkish Parliament, as reported last
night seems to indicate, however, that it
will be necessary to use force.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New YORK, Feb. 13-Delegates from five
furniture Boards in the United States met
in convention yesterday, F. NJ. Holmes, of
Boston, presiding. Peter Kehr, of this city,
recommended the establishment of some
universal system of credit for mutual pro-
lection. Mr.. Metcalf, of Boston, thought
the dealers should demand from buyers
who desired credit frank statement of
their financial affairs. Great advantage, in
his opinion, would result from creating a
Furniture Exchange throughout the coun-
try, to direct the agents of merchants so
that representations made by dealers to the
Exchange might have the same force as if
made to the creditor himself.
Mr.. Angle spoke for the West in favor of
enforcing the prompt settlement of ac-
counts. In his section nine-tenths of the
credit customers were behind in their pay
ments.
Mr.. Holmes, of Boston, thought cash dis
counts should be made so heavy that the
customer who would not take advantage of
them might justly be considered untrust-
worthy.
The discussion of the resolution by Geo.
Brown, proposing that the whole country
be divided into five districts with head
quarters in New York, Boston, Cincinnati,
Louisville and Chicago, for facilitating such
exchange Of customers as would secure
manufacturers against fraud, was postponed
until to-day.

RICHMOND INDIANA, Feb. 13.-An excit-
ing affair occurred at Carthage, forty miles
west of this place, yesterday. Last week,
one night, young man was murdered
while walking from Knightstown to Car
thage, the deed being done with an ak.
Harvey Foxwell, well-known saloon
keeper, gambler and general desper-
ado, of Knightstown, but formerly
Of Baltimore, was arrested for
the deed
He employed abundant counsel, and
boldly declared his ability to prove an alibi.
Yesterday he was taken to Carthage for a
preliminary hearing. -Four officers had
charge of him. On the road they passed
the spot where the murder was committed,
and compelled Foxwell to look at the blood
and brains still lying on the ground. He
turned deathly pale, trembled violently,
and became sick at the stomach.
Arriving at Carthage the funeral of the
murdered man was in progress and the
people were taking a look at the corpse.
The officers took Foxwell into the church
up to the coffin When he looked at the
mutilated head of the victim he almost
swooned away. A sister of the murdered
man sitting near took in the situation at
once, uttered piercing shrek and fell
fainting. A score of other women screamed
in rapid succession, and the excitement be-
came intense.
Stern men rushed at the prisoner yelling
"Hang him!" "Shoot him!" and number
of pistols were leyeled. The minister be-
sought, begged and commanded, and with
his assistance and that of few citizens the
prisoner was rescued, placed In hack, and
driven rapidly to Rushyille. His trial will
come up Friday if the mob does not make
it unnecessary before that time.

HARD TIMES IN 1819-'20.-PeopIe
who complain so much of the existing
"hard times" would do we'll to read the
following from Benton's Thirty Years
Recolleetiaps," He SAYS;
1.-THE years of 1919 and 1926 were a
period Of gloon and agony. No money
--either gold or silver; no paper con-
vertible into specie; no measure or
standard of value left remaining. The
local banks, all but those of New Eng
land, after brief resqMptlOn Of speaie-
payments, again sank into a state of
suspension. The Bank of the United
States created as a remedy for all these
evils, now at the head of the evil, pros
trate and helpless, with no power left
but that of suing it's debtors and SELL
ing their property, and purchasing for
itself at its own nominal price. No
price for property or produce, no sales
but those of the sheriff and marshal +;
no purchasers at the execution sales but
| the creditor or some hOarder of money ;
no employment for industry; no de-
mand for labor no sale for the products
of the farm no sound of hammer but
that of the auctioneer knocking down
property. Stoplaws, property-laws, the
replevinlaws stay laws, loan office laws,
the interventure of the Legislature be-
tween the creditor and the debtor-this
was the business of legislation in three
fourths of the States of the Union OF
all south and west of New England
No medium Ut exchange but deprecia-
ted paper; no exchange even but little
bits of foul paper, marked SO many
cents and signed by SO many tradesman
barber, or inn-keeper exchanges de-
ranged to the extent of fifty or one hun
bred per cent. Distress. the universal
cry of the people, relief the universal
demand, thundered at the door of all
legislatures, State and Federal"
