The Senate Nv a vote of yeas q mays 7,
passed the Joint resolution of protest
against the seating of Kellogg, ard the
rejection of the claims of Hon. Henry Nj.
Spotford, as United States senator for
Louisiana. Senator David Young, color
ell Republican, proclaimed his belief OF
the legal election of Spotford, and voted
for the resolution. 1t asks the senate to
reconsider its action in seating Kellogg;
and, as it is couched in moderate lam
guage, it undoubtedly represents the
wishes of the legal Legislature and il
great majority of the people. The SEN
| ate in seating Kellogg did not close the
door for reconsideration, and even if it
had, bubbles should not be interposed to
set aside il just claim. That body has re
peatedly ruled that it was the absolute
Judge Of the election and qualifications
of it's own members, and y reversal in the
case of Mr. Spotford possesses neither the
merit of consistency or virtue The
resolution now goes to the Governor for
signature, after which Mr.. Eustice will
place it before the scnate.-ltcm.'

THE appointment of S. II. H. Clark
as general manager of the pooled lines
west of the Missouri is the first step
toward general reconstruction of the
affairs Of the consolidated companies,
and in spite of contrary rumors, some
radical changes may be expected in the
management of the Kansas Pacific and
Colorado lines. 1t is already known
that the Denver ticket Offices are to be
consolidated, in the interest of econ
omy, and economy no doubt will sug-
gest other plans by which salaries can
be saved and other expenses reduced,
though it is too soon to speculate on
these probabilities. Mr.. Clark is an
executive officer Of rare ability, whose
management of the Union Pacific
road challenges the admiration of all
who are at all familiar with his methods,
and we may be sure it will not be long
before he shall make himself felt in the
management of the lines placed under
his control.

New York, June 24.-Oliver s. Vim
cent and VIM. H. Code, clerks in the
tax collectors Office, Brooklyn, entered
the vault wherein the books are kept.
Code lighted a match with which to
light the gas jet. An explosion of gas
instantly followed, and the wall of the
vault was blown into the middle of the
office; the railings, furniture, windows
and sashes were demolished. Vincent
was blown across the room about forty
feet, his clothes torn off, hair burned,
and face and body fearfully lacerated.

Mackenzie vs.. Valdez.

Galveston, June 24.-An Eagle Pass
special says: Seems. Mackenzie and
Shafter arrived here last night; their
commands will arrive tomorrow. They
penetrated Mexico about forty-five
miles from Newtown, the place of cross
ing, and about eighteen miles east OF
Sargossa, where they were met by a
detachment of the Mexican army under
Col. Valdez, drawn up in line of battle.
The Mexican commander inquired the
purpose of his invasion, informing
Mackenzie that he had orders to repel
an American invasion, and that he,
Mackenzie, should not proceed farther.
Mackenzie warned them to get out of
the way, saying, did they not do SO by
A O'Clock that day he would shoot
where the Mexicans were standing, at
the same time putting his men in
order of battle. At the appointed time
the Americans advanced; their num-
bers appeared to overawe the Mexicans,
who hastily withdrew to a safe dis
tance, keeping in sight Of the Ameri-
can troops. Mackenzie asked Valdez
if he intended to obstruct the Ameri-
cans on the route again. Valdez re-
piled that it was his (Mackenzie's) bus
iness to guard against that, and that
he would came again soon. Valdez
offered detachment Of his force to
escort the Americans to the place of
crossing, but Mackenzie declined the
offer, saying he was able to take care
Of himself. The Mexicans, however,
saw Mackenzie safely across the river.
The Mexican force was inferior to that
Of the Americans.

LINcoLMs ASSASSINATION.
A Damaging Statement About Sam
Randall. Speaker of the House
of Repreaentatives-


Washington, june 24.-On the even
ing of the assassination there was a
dinner party at Wormley's restaurant,
Washington, in one of the back rooms.
There were present Gen. Baird, Robt.
johnson, Hon. Sam. Randall, John
Morrissey and John Coye, editor of the
National Intelligencer. During the
dinner a negro waiter, who had gone
out, returned with the information
that Lincoln had been killed by Wilkes
Booth at Ford's theatre. At first it
was not believed, but later, when con-
llrmed, there was CONSERVATION among
the party. Coyle, pale and trembling,
cried out, my Godl" and said Booth
had ridden up to him in the Market
space that morning, on a bay horse.
him package of papers,
and told him to publish the papers if he
heard fiom him in twenty-four hours,
and if not, destroy them. 'sWhat must
do with thcm?" he asked. Randall
replied, "Burn them. They will hang
every man that knows about it.n Nor
rissey said, Burn them up, by God.n
The doors were closed and locked. a
fire made in the fireplace, and the par
eel burned, the ashes being afterwards,

No Trouble Whatever Among the Wis
consin Indians.
Chicago, June 24.-Gep. Geo. A.
Fcrsythe, who was dispatched to wes-
tern Wisconsin to inquire into the
causes of the Indian uprising, tele-
graphs TO Gen. Sheridan as follows:
I have just visited Grantsburg and
Wood Lake, the places where the alleg-
ed uprising of the Chippewas occurred.
There is no foundation for the reports.
The Indians have not SO much as spo-
ken unkindly to any of the settlers.
nor have they taken anything from the
farms abandoned by some OF the fright
ened Swede settlers. The Chief of the
Chippewas whom l saw at the dance at
Wood Lake, assured me that nobody
was mad, and seemed to regret yery
much the reports Of their giving trouble.
For some time past the Chippewas have
been practicing new dance which is
very much like one of the Cheyenne
dances. The constant repetition Of this
dance, which is semi-religious in char
acter, has worried the timid Swedes.
and some malicious joker started a re-
port of an Indian uprising, and quite a
number of outlying settlers hastily
abandoned their homes and rushed to
Grantsburg and Rush City for protec.

THE statement has been going the
rounds Of the papers that Thurlow
Weed and William Cullen Bryant never
met during the life of the latter; that
they did not know each other by sight,
and that Mr.. Weed never looked. upon
the face of the poet until he beheld it
in the funeral casket. AS the two men
lived in the same city, the statement is
remarkable, and its very remarkable
ness gave it currency, and peculiar
charm. But it is only a fancy or an
invention. Mr.. Weed and Mr.. Bryant
were both pail bearers at Horace Gree
ley's funeral.

INVESTIGATION FARCE
Merging Into Child's Play and
Silly Twaddle.
Mrs. jerks Has Lots of Fun with the
Committee, and Boynton Threat
ems to Punch Buffers
Head.

Washington, June 24.-The Potter
investigation committee resumed its
session to-day, Potter presiding. Mrs.
jerks, on entering the room, made q
very dignifed bow to the members OF
the committee and took seat in the
witness chair. Springer commenced
the cross examination by referring to
the statement of witness on Saturday,
that no one except herself knew aught
Of the original document known as the
Sherman letter.
Q. If no one excepting youself knows
aught of the original document you
must have written it2
A. 1 did not say so.
Q. Were you the author of the con-
tents of that letter.
A. l dictated the contents of that
letter.
Being requested the witness repeated
from memory the letter to which the
Sherman letter is an answer. She said
she had never read it but once. She
was employed in the Treasury depart
ment here in 1876 for two months, un-
der Bristow, accepting the position be-
cause it was offered to her. While en-
ployed by the Government she went to
her desk in the Office and did some writ
ing almost every day when she had
nothing else to do. Laughter.
Springer-That is all have to ask,
Mrs. jerks.
Mrs. Jenks-Then move we adjourn.
Laughter
Witness then said she would produce
Anderson's letters tomorrow, and con-
tinued, 81 have sent for a package of
letters which think will be interesting
to your side of the question, although
they are not couched in the most ele-
CANT language. He used the word
damn, and all that kind of language
in them.''
Mrs. jerks was then excused until
tomorrow morning, and the committee
took a recess.
Gen. H. v. Boynton, special cores
pom dent at Washington, of the Cincin-
natl Gazette, after recess, was called.
Q. By McMahon. Did you call upon
the President of the United States in
relation to the appointment of Ander-
son?
A. did not call upon the President
upon that appointment especially. The
appointment had been announced as
being that of an Ohio man. The Pres
ident said he appointed him (Anderson)
because he rendered service to the
party.
Q. Butler. Did you state it truly.
A. stated truly as it remained in
my mind, and wish to say right here
that 1 repel all insinuations that 1
have not told the truth at all times,
and if necessary I shall protect myself
against such imputations. The other
Of the committee acted as
gentlemen toward me, but you (Butler)
have acted the part of a rowdy, and
desire the chairman to call your atten-
tion to the fact, and if the committee
will not protect me will protect my
self. Committee adjourned.

ITappears from the testimony of Mrs.
Agnes jerks before the Potter investi-
eating committee that she wrote the
letter herself which has been attributed
to Secretary Sherman. She admits the
fact in the following unmistakable Ian
guage:
l wish to state in the presence of this
august committee and to the country at
large, that distinctly and entirely ex-
onerate Mr.. Secretary Sherman from
any completely, direct or indirect in the
so-called Anderson-Weber guaranty. If
there is criminality in the document or
political dishonor attached to it, alone
know the Alpha and Omega Of it. No
one else knows aught in regard to It,
and don't think I shall tell you any
thing more. It is sufficient that I ex-
onerate Mr.. Secretary Sherman.
Thus the whole mystery Of the Sher-
man letter is explained. She wrote it
herself. She did it partly to satisfy An
derson, who wanted q written guaranty
from Secretary Sherman or some other
81 the visiting statesmen, and partly as
generous consideration for Mr.. Sher-
man and his colleagues, to save them
from the humiliating knowledge that
Ineir word was not considered sufficient.
one gave the letter to Weber, and has
mol seen nor heard from it since. It
seems indeed, to have perished with
.nat unfortunate man. To SO ridicu-
lous an ending has come all the outcry
against secrstszy shsrman for writing
that letter.

ONCE, when he was about seven
years old, james E. Anderson, in an
unguarded moment, was betrayed into
telling the truth. He repented in Bit
terness Of spirit as soon as he fully un-
derstood what he had done, and rails
ing his right hand to heaven, vowed, if
his life was spared, he would never do
it again so long as he lived. He still
lives, and his life attests the unbroken
sanctity of his VOW.

WASHINGTON
What Sherman Thinks

Washington, June "a. = Secretary
Sherman says he felt much interest in
the Potter investigation while it was
revolutionary in its character, but now
that its only object seems to be to dis
cover whether Anderson swore falsely
in his protest or swears falsely now,
and whether the name of one of the
Louisiana electors was signed without
his authority to an invalid supplement
tai return; it is not important enough
to pay its cost.
