ABLE SPEECH OF GENERAL EWING.
An Affair Of Honor Of the Tapis.

WASHINGTON, April &c.
Upon assembling the House went into
Committee Of the Whole on the Legislat-
i've Appropriation bill, under the five
minute rule. Ewing continued his speech
of last evening. He said the men who
were insulting the President were not
Democrats, but stalwart Republicans, who
hold the lash over him, threatening him
with party expulsion if he dare be gov
erned by his own judgment, instead of the
necessities of sectional issues at the North.
He classified among the ~stalwarts those
who had said that if the President signed
the bill he would be violating his con-
science and sense of duty, and Frye, who
had pledged the President in advance to
veto the bill, which pledge was a threat to
the President, and Conkling, in whose
opinion the President would be a s'dog" if
he signed the bill. He declared that it
was not the purpose of the Democrats to
| starve the Government to death by refus-
ing to vote supplies. He said the Demo-
! Gratis wished to get legislation through in
reference to elections and everything else,
if they could constitutionally, but if they
| could not get it through under cons;itu-
! tional sanction, they would pass the appro-
priation bills, like loyal representatives,
and go home. Though forty-five Demo-
Gratis had spoken, that sentence had not
been altered by a single Democrat. His
speech was applauded by the Democrats.
Horr, of Michigan. followed. He told
the Southern Democrats that what their
section wanted was more corn and cotton
and less c~ussedness, and wound up by sug-
costing that one OF the best things that
could happen the country would be the
turning on of the yellow fever in Congress,
only he would KANT the Diety to use great
discrimination in making his selections.
When the debate closed, an amendment
offered by Weaver, striking out all pro-
posed legislation except that relating to the
test oath, was defeated without division.
A vote was taken by tellers on Garfield's
amendment, striking ont all legislation.
which resulted in its defeat by a vote of
1870 to 124. The result was received with
applause by the Democratic side. The
House rejected all amendments, and at
half-past three o'clock finally passed the
Legislative. Executive and Judicial Appro-
priation bills with all the political sections,
in the same shape as originally introduced.
The G~reenbackers voted with the Repub-
licans to strike put the political clause,
but united with the Democrats on the
final vote Of 100 against 119, by which the
bills were passed. The House adjourned
until Tuesday.
1t leaked out last night that VIM. W.
Lowe, the Greenbaek member of the sHouse
from Alabama, sent a challenge to Logan
OF Illinois, to meet him on the field of
honor. The difference grew out OF a state
ment made by Lowe about two weeks ago,
and published in q Pittsburg paper in the
form Of an interview, in which that gentle
man is reported to have said that Logan
on the eve of the rebellion, contemplated
entering the Confederate service; that he
raised three regiments Of troops in Illinois,
which entered and fought in the Confeder-
ate army, and that just prior to the depar-
turc of these regiments from Illinois
Logan deserted them.
CHICAGO, April 26.
The 'Journal's' Washington dispatch
says there is considerable excitement over
the Lowe-Logan matter. Lowe declares
that Logan must ~retract, fight or be pub
liciy chastised, and some of his friends
swear that blood will be shed.
The "Tribnne's" Washington special
says: There is not the slightest doubt
that .he President will veto the Army

be perfectly consistent. General Garfield
believes that the Democrats will agree to
a proposition drawn by himself and sub
mitted by Foster at the last session., that
the appropriation for the army be contin-
ued to December 31st. II they do SO the
cdium Of calling the extra session must
rest on them, as they might have prevented
it by accepting this very proposition. The
Times" Washington correspondent thinks
the President il sure to veto the Army
Bill, but says the Democrats don't think so.
Governor Palmer on the President
ial kituntiOn-Esiyon's Opera
Hons.
NEW YORK. April 26.
Ex-Governor Palmer, Of Illinois, is here
among the witnesses at the Stanley court
martial. He tells the Tribune" that the
Republicans in Illinois are mostly for
Grant as u necessity. but John Sherman
would be otherwise preferred. Tilden is
accepted by tho Democrats as an unpleas-
ant necessity. The Tribune adds that
rumnr says that Governor Palmer had
Presidential aspirations for 1880, and they
are backed by a pretty strong following in
his State.
The "Herald" to-day says: 1t is under
stood that the construction Of Edison's
lamp and regulator is as complete as he
expects to make it for ZONE time, and that
he is now turning his attention to the con-
sideration of q magneto-electro machine
which shall generate the amount of cleo
tricity required to make the lamp useful
for practical and extended operations.
The managers of the Pacific Mail and
Pacific railroads are very reticent as to the
cancellation of the contract between them.
An official Of the latter company states
that the notice was only given because the
roads believe they are paying the Mail
Company too much money per month, and
expect to reduce the amount. Whether
the Mail Company will submit is not de-
cided. but it will no doubt resist to the
best Of its ability.
Inn p0rtant Mining Decision in Col
OradO.
New York, April 26.
The "Post" this evening comments on
the decision in Denver on the 23d. by
Judge Hubbell, OF the United States Dis
trict Court, in the controversy between the
Leadville Mining Company, Of that State,
and the owners Of the Little Giant mine,
on the one hand. and the Etna mine. on
the other hand, and says the importance
OF this decision can scarcely be overesti-
mated. 1t is undoubtedly law, and this is
not the first time it has been applied even
in Colorado. 1t secures the right OF the
first discoyerer Of a ledge of mineral, and
even will wipe out the surface line which
the discoverer is entitled to establish, so
that a mine hereafter is to be measured by
the extent of vein in whatever direction
it may take, and not by the extent Of the
line which has been pre-empted or
occupied. The purchasers in New York Of
mining property canno therefore be too
for not only is it Essential for them
to ascertain that the vendor has title to
but that the vein beneath it is not
one which the owners Of other property
have a right to follow.
