icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TKIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Pendleton re-
celved the compliment of well-tilled galleries to-
day, notwithstanding the rain. He also received
close attention. especially from the Republican side
of the Senate, throughout his speech. Among the
most attentive listeners were Mrs. Hayes and Mu-
rat Halstead, who occupied seats which had been
set apart for them in the gallery reserved for the
families of Senators.
The speech is generally commented upon in terms
very complimentary to the speaker. 1t was es-
pecially noticeable for the tone OF earnest cOnyic-
ton which ran through it, and for the entire alb
sence Of political allusons.
Mr. Pendleton, who has had this matter under
consideration for many years. referred to the var-
GUS objections which had been urged against his
plan. and answered them one by one. He acknowl-
edged that his plan might have tendency to make
the heads of departments less responsible to the
President and more responsible to Congress TO q
greater extent than now, although such not his
intention in framing the bill. he argued that this
was right in principle. The great advantage to be
reaped from the operations yf his plan would be,
he said the saving of tine and the general faclta-
ton of business. Congress is now often unable to
perfect important matters Of legislation speedily in
consequence of the lack of information, which
might be obtained in a moment by questioning the
heads of the departments Mr. Pendleton had the good
sense to acknowledge that in the details embodied
in bis scheme there might be many imperfections
and that in these respects experience alone would
serve to make the plan perfect
He argued at some length with regard to the
constitutional right of Congress to demand the
presence Of Cabinet officers upon the floor of Con-
gress and said that they would be impeachable for
the refusal to obey such call if this measure
should become law.
Senator Morrill,, Of Vermont, followed in n speech
in opposition to the proposed measure. He pro-
nounced the plan an unfragrant exotic and said
that il was an attempt to initiate certain European
monarchies He said that the departments are not
the creatures Of Congress- but of the Constitution
and that the people would never assent to a change
from a constitutional to Congressional form of
Government.
Ii does not now look as II the matter would be
made political issue in any sense. Ii is probable
that some of the Southern Congressman Will Op-
pose il on the ground of unfavorabe experience.
The plan was tried in the Confederate Congress-
and for time worked well but the attendance
OH Congress soon became q bore to Cabinet officers
while familiarity bred species of contempt on
both sides.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.--The greater part of to-

in an informal and somewhat desultOry discussion
of various questions involved III the pending NOM
nations for promotions and appointments in the
Army. The members of the Committee on Mil

delay of the Judiciary Committee IN report

was whether the thirteenth section Of the act

section provided that appointments promo

New-York tribune., 1879-04-29

general press dispatch states that the rescuing
party succeeded on Sunday in drilling a hole
through the lower part of the mine, thus showing
that it was only necessary to drive few feet fur
ther to effect opening into the gangway. The
work was then necessarily performed slowly and
carefully as there were indications of fire damp,
which made necessary the driving and cutting of
the coal with the pick alone. The work was dill
gently prosecuted all of Sunday night. The opening
was effected ut 8 a.. IN.
Mine superintendent Smith the first to enter.
He found some of the men cooking breakfast from
steaks taken from the mule which the boy who was
sent to alarm the men of the impending disaster
had fortunately taken with him. The mule was
killed by the men on the second day of their imprs-
onment The remainder of the party were engaged
in changing the direction of an air course.
Very little said, but the entire party used all
possible dispatch in getting out of the mine, reach
ing the surface shortly after o'clock. The crowd
which had assembled was very enthusiastic, and
repeatedly cheered the rescued men and their de-
llverers The men were speedily sent TO their
homes
The entombed miners say that during Saturday
and Sunday they could hear the rescuing party
firing blasts. When the blasting ceased they be-
! lieved that the work had been stopped and they
were abandoned to their fate. They say they could
have subsisted at least two weeks longer had it
been necessary, upon their supply of mule meat. A
running stream of water supplied them with the
means to satisfy thirst. The men had been i'm
prisoned five and half days. They stood the long
imprisonment very well. The boy upon reaching
the surface leaped the enclosure at the mouth
of the opening and ran rapidly homeward.
The sum OF S100 has been presented to each OF
the rescued miners to-day by the stockholders Of
the Lehgh and Wilkesbare Coal Company through
President Charles Parrish concert for the bene-
fit of the men Will be given at Music Hall to-
morrow Charles Hawkins. one of their number,
will relate the of their captivity. The total
receipts will be given to them, all expenses have
been paid.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to the brave
men who accomplished the great work Of driving
and timbering passage-way of 1.2O0 feet through
rock, slate and coal in the space of four days and
nights The same praise is due to the bosses direct
ing the work for the engineering skill displayed III
locating and directing the openings.

A CELEBRATED RAILROAD CASE.
ERN SUIT RENDERED..
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.i


TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEi
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Mr. Justice Harlan, OF
the Supreme Court of the United States, delivered
his decision this afternoon in the suit of the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and St. Louis and the Pennsyl-
vana Companies against the Columbus, Chicago
and Indiana Central Railroad Company for the
abrogaton of the lease of the lines of the latter to
the former This case was argued before justice
Harlan at Newport r. l.. last Summer, Senator
Mcdonald and ex-Senators Scott, Matthews ana
Hendricks appearing as counsel in the case All OF
these gentlemen were present in the Court THIS
afternoon.
After reviewing at great length the history of the
companies which were parties to the suit. and set
ting forth the terms of the contracts under which
the lease in question was effected, Dir. Justice
Harlan decided
First-That the lease by the c., G. and /. e. Rail
road Company of its lines to the Pittsburg, Cncln-
natI and ST. Louis and the Pennsylvania Companies
was not IN conflict with the laws OF Indiana.
and was not therefore void alb ntio, as was claimed
by the plaintiffs, nor was it contrary to puDllc
policy.
Secopd-1hat IL was not essential to the validity
OF the lease that its execution subsequent rati-
cation should have been effected by the c., c. and l.
c.. Company III its corporate capacity in the State
of Indiana
Third-That the lease was not forbidden by the
laws of Ohio
Fourih-That il the lease in question was origi-
nally valid, it has not been fatally yitiated by any
DEGREES of eviction by the courts. The effect OF te
DEGREES referred to was known at the time the
contract was made, aud was provided for by the
TUik-Whilo it is true that the c.. G. and I. G.;
Company has failed to arrange, provide Tor ana
classify all its indebtedness-so as to bring 1t
within $40 900, ,000-that failure had not yet gone
far enough to inyalidato the contract. AT the same
time il was not to be expected that the lessee coro-
rations should be required TO wait an indefinite
length of time for the c. G. and l. G. Company to
comply with this clause of the contract, and the
of January, 1880. After that time the paintlif
corporations will have permission to move for the
cancellation of the lease If the order OF the Court Is
not complied with.
