"It is rumored that Monsignol
Roucitti, Apostolic Internuncio, who
lately rendered good service at
Rio De Janeiro, is in accord with

Russia and Turkey and advises the
Russian Government not to hurry
about evacuation, and says that
Russia's opponents are intriguing
to delay the settlement of the East~
ern ROumolian question until the
departure Of the Russian army.
:" 1t is, therefore, advisable" says

To-day's was the lengthiest Cabi-
net session for the year. The prin-
cipal subject discussed was the ar
rearage of the pension bill. The
members Of the Cabinet were re-
served as to the disposition of the
measure, but believed the President
would approve it. The Indian
affairs received attention, but as no
definite information had been re-
ceived regarding Sitting Bulls latest
movements, no definite action was
reached. 1t was believed that this
Chieftain has crossed and recrossed
the border several times, and would
remain altogether on the other side
but for fears of consequences.

Mr.. Morril, of Vermont, sub
mitted an amendment providing
that the information heretofore com
municated to either house of Con-
gress shall not be repeated, but
references to the document where
the same is to be found shall be
made, and the names of the sub
scribers to the popular loan since
June, 1877, to whom no commits
sions have been paid, may be omit
ted. The amendment was accepted
by Mr.. Salisbury and the resolu
ton agreed to as amended.
The Senate was principally en-
gagged in discussing the Conference
report on the Post Route bill. which,
at the last Session, was not acted
upon. The House conferees then
refused to consider the bill, as the
clause therein allowing books to
come in free through the mails, in
pursuance of the Postal Treaty,
was regarded as revenue measure,
and as such should have originated
in the House. The bill also con-
tains the Brazilian Mail Steamship
Subsidy clause, and provides for
revising the franking privileges,
both of which are regarded by
some as separate measures, After
considerable debate, the question Of
parliamentary law and the priv
ileges Of each House involved in
this report were referred to COM
mittee of FIVE.
Mr.. Edmunds again renewed his
motion to take up his resolution

IN his spe cial message Gov. Marks
has again displayed his Ignorance.
1t must be borne in mind that his
object is to show that bonds were
fraudulently Issued to the railroads
aud ought therefore to be repudiated.
In order to do this he quotes from the
deposition Of f. J. Sanford, of this
city, taken befSTe Legislative irvesti-
eating committee. But Mr.. Sanford's
evidence all relates TO an unsuccessful
attempt to secure bonds. The bill
then pending before the Legislature
was lost and no bonds were issued. So
the Governors case falls to the
ground. He is presenting evidence
upon which 20 Justify the Tepudia-

A protest headed by Mr.. Butler

Mr.. Bearden rose to question

speeIaI go the chronicle.
The Governor signed the resolu-
ton appointing two Judiciary Com
mittees to investigate criminal court
costs and, report to a bill on the
same.
In the Senate the House joint
resolution inquiring into the ex
penditure of public funds since
1865, was adopted.
The Senate resolution to en-
quire into the Torbett issue and
conflict of jurisdiction, was adopted.
The bill reducing the salary Of
the Superintendent of the Capitol
to $500 passed the third reading,
also abolishing the Office of Govern
or's Secretary, and putting the
duties on the Secretary of State.
In the House a resolution asking
Congress to pass a national quar-
antine law was adopted.
The Governor sent to both Houses
special message in regard to a
statement as to improper means
alleged to have been employed to
procure the issuance of bonds to
insolVent railroads. He starts out
by making reference to the organi-
zation of the directory of the Knox
vile and Kentucky Railroad, in 1867
and quotes the deposition of E. J.
Sanford, in the Senate appendix of
the Both session of the Legislature.
The Governor then says: 1.-THE tes-
timony shows that a conspiracy was
Lirmed to control the Legislature
and twas to be done by the
lse of money"
There is TO direct evidence in the
journals of the two Houses of the
presence of any one of the conspir-
ators at the Capital, save that of
Rev. DIR. Pearne.
On the 21st day of November,
1867. the omnibus bill granting
three millions in bonds TO insolvent
roads was pending in the Senate.
fhe journal shows that the proceed
ngs of that day wereo pened with
prayer by Rev. DR.. Pearne.
The bill was defeated upon
he morning of that day,
" vote of II to I. Before night
he vote was reconsidered and
passed the next day by vote of
L to l. In carrying out the con-
'piracy there was used $4,000 the
proceeds of State bonds sod at
| large discount. As the OBJ
ect of the conspiracy was unlaw-
'ul, it is necessary to say that the
lct of one was the act of all IN the
of the common design.
