senator Davis War Claims Res.
OIutIOn.

The resolution offered by Senator
Davis and passed in the Senate by a
strict party vote, calling on the Sec
rotary of the Treasury for state
ment Of the money paid ont Of the
Treasury since 1874 for claims or
damages sustained blythe war, will
furnish valuable campaign docu-
ment for 1880.
Every Republican in the Senate
voted against this resolution, and ey-
cry Democrat for it. This, as the
Pittsburgh Post observes, is somewhat
remarkable if the Republicans are
not afraid Of the truth, for they
"haye been asserting that the Demo.
Gratis were the great advocates Of the
payment Of war claims, and certain
ly they should not object to getting
at the facts since the Democrats sue
ceeded TO power in Congress. The
report in response to this resolution
will show that since the Democrats
obtained control Of Congress the
payment Of private war claims has
been practically ended. and when
the Republicans had control il was
carried on in colossal style. 1t will
also be shown that while the possible
Southern claims were being dwelt
upon for the purpose Of frightening
nnthoughtful voters. the Republican
Senators and Representatives were
voting millions into the pockets Of
their political cronies in the Eastern,
Middle and Western States. Inshort,
the resolution moved by Senator Da-
Wis was opposed because the Repnb-
lican politicians knew that it involv-
ed the exposure Of a fraudulent pre-
text and fraudulent practice in
which they had long been engaged.
1t will put an end to the clap.trap
about war claims.-Register.

that he never got the money, but voted

Cetewayo, on the 10th inst, dispatched an
envoy to Col. Crealock asking him to send
a European to discuss terms of peace.
John Dunn accordingly went Cetewsyo' s

tiations having failed because the British
refuse any terms but unconditional sur
render. Cetewayo's faith is doubted. 1t
is thought probable that he will shortly
throw his whole strength against the Lower
Tugela column. Transport difficulties
are increasing, owing to the scarcity OF
grass. The health of the troops is improv-

CHICAGO, June : At $50 this after
noon one of tn" b1idest r0bberies ever
committed in Chicago was perpetCated
near the intersection of Wabash avenue
and Washington street. Henry Il. Hen
SOD, stout colored boy, about 20 years
Of age. had been dispatched by the Illinois
Central Treasurer with a package Of
money to the Merchants Loan and Trust
Company's Bank. Carl Wilson, the bank
messenger, accompanied him as a guard
The package contained $4,000 and $l0,-
900. The exact amount Is known, but the
treasurer refuses to give it for prudential
reasons. When Wilson and Henson
reached the point above Indicated two men
walked up 10 them at an ordinary brisk
gait, separating as they approached, going
90 either side OF the messengers, When
| they arrived within reaching distance they
| threw the contents of half pound of cay
anne pepper full 10 the faces of Wilson
and Henson and subsequently dealt Hen
son three heavy blows with sand bag
aud as quick as thought seiZiDg the pack
| age al greenbacks which he carried IN a
small canvass bag under bis arm jumped
in a covered buggy which stood by the
sidewalk and drove off at furious rate
south, down Wabash avenue. A consd
ersbe number of people were Oh the thor
oughfare at the time and quite number
witnessed the bold proceeding, but none
were able to interfere in time 10 prevent
the escape The messengers were nearly
blind from the effects of the pepper, but
as soon as possible reported the affair and
the news was speedily flashed to all the
police stations aud most vigorous steps
were taken 10 capture the highwaymen
There is no very valuable clue to them, al
descriptions being unsatisfactory. The
rig has been found and identified as oDt
