forcing an extra session, and 1t may pc con
sidered historical fact that, had NOT Ifle
conspiracy OF the Radicals been discovered ID
the nick Of time, the bills now " 10 ai dispute
Thus the very fact Of the extra session, the
organization of the House by the Democrats,
and the consequent Illustration OF
THE cop D'ETAT DESIGNED BIZ THE RADI-
GALS
was In itself triumph; and nothing re-
mainsd to be done except for the Forty-sfxth
Congress to vindicate the ground which the
Forty-ifth had chosen whereupon to force
Radcalism from its cover OF intrigue, crime
and treason.
This has now been accomplished. The Is
sue between Democratic elections and Radical
plcoiscttes, between popular sovereignty and q
martial law; between the supremacy OF the
civil law and a state OF siege, has been fully
discussed. The Democratic party has gone
On record through the vote OF It's majority OF
the representatives OF the people 10 favor OF
free elections, popular sovereignty and a. the
supremacy of the civil law; and the Radical
party. through the partisan vetoes OF its
Fraudulent President, has gone on record in
favor OF plebiseites, martial law and a state
OF siege.
Suen is the issue that has been joined, as
1t will appear in history and as 1t will be di-
gested by the popular Intelligence between
this time and 1880, no matter how industri-
ously Radical demagognes may howl, Radt-
cal fanatics may rave, or Radical editors lie
in the interim.
II the people Of the United States want the
sort Of government that Radtcaiism offers
them, let them have 1t. Ifthey don't want 1t,
the way to avoid it has already been pointed
out as clearly as 1t can be. The Democrats,
lacking two-third5 aiorities, can neither over
ride the criminal vetoes Of Hayes nor in
peach him. All they can do Is to sit here In
Washington and make grist for the absurd
and irrepressible veto mill which Is running
at the White House, with Robson and Zach
Chandler as miIlers. A. C. B.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY
The Movement of Squatters into
the Territory.
The Whole Scheme the Work Of Interested
Traders.

CHICAGO, May 18.-Col. G. FL. Smith, OF the
Nineteenth Infantry, who was detailed TO IN
vestigate the extent and location OF the move
ment into the Indian Territory, made report
which confirms the belief at military head
quarters In this city, that the whole move
ment has been originated by interested trad
ers and stage companies and dissipate the
idea which ehad gained considerable ground
at Washington, that there was q determined
and bona fide settlement In the Indian Terri
tory.
The latest dispatches substantiate this re-
port In the main. Our correspondent, how
ever, asserts that as soon as the military are
withdrawn and public attention attracted
elsewhere the squatters will return and take
up their claims. Several OF the class with
whom he conversed said they had no desire
or Intention Of opposing the government or
military, but 1t was pity to allow these
valuable lands to lie idle. They had no desire
| to enter the lands which were occupied and
cultivated by the Indians majority OF the
tribes were lazy and shiftiess, subsistiDg on
government supplies, and allowed these lands
to lie untitled. They believed that If they
should ever get comfortably settled on these
lands public sentiment would sustain their
claims, and the government would not dare
to eject them. They say that it would not be
long before the greater portion OF the Indian
lands will be dem anded for white settlers.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
Secretary Schurz's latest information from
the Indian Territory Is more encouraging, and
leads to the belief that there will be no further
trouble with the emigrants attempting to
force their way into the Territory without au-
thority OF law. The government feels very
much eIated at the peaceful settlement Of the
question, which, at one time, gave promisefof
producing serious embarrassment.

Taking Up Collection in Church 10

BROOKLYN, May 18.-Mr. Talmage appeared
on the Tabernacle platform this morning
with his hair and whiskers neatly trimmed
and broad smile Frightening his counte-
nance. He gave out the opening hymn huf-
riedly and seemed to be struggling to keep
back something he desired to say. When the
ushers marched down their respective aisles
to get the collec ton box, Talmage said, with
his usual characteristic abruptness:
TO show the spirit and temper with which
am pursued, put before the public the
fact that, after my entire vindicatlcn by the
Brooklyn Presbytery in respect to the
charges brought against me, Messrs VAN
dyke and Crosby have printed and are circu-
Iating their speeches, hoping to prejudice the
ministry against me.
am glad that the session and the trustees
of this church have ordered the able speech OF
Dr.. Spear to be printed, and some will be sent
abroad throughout the country to correct the
false impressions which my enemies are try
ing to make. The collection this morning
will be for the printing and gratuitous distri-
button Of that speech OF Rev. DR.. Spear. The
collection will now be taken up. Applause

A RED-HEADED LIAR.
Sharp Epithets Applied in the Lovely Legis-
lature Of Illinois.

There was an exciting episode in the Illinois
House OF Representatives lately, which the
correspondent of the Globe Democrat thus de-
scribes:
MIR. Gross had called up his bill No. $40,
bearing the inoffens1ve title OF "A bill for an
act in relation to weights and measures Like
the present law 1t makes the Secretary OF State
the sealer OF weights and measures, but also
provides that 1t snail be the duty OF the Sec
retary OF State to contract with such manu-
facturers as he may select for their ability
and experience for the making and furnishing
OF 50 many sets OF weights and measures and
so many balances as may be wanting and
necessary to supply those counties that are
set OF standard weights and measures, and
further requires that counties shall buy these
weights and measures.
MIR. Harrington, In debating the measure,
charged that it was a steal, and 1ntlmated
pretty broadly that the Secretary Of State
was In collision with one favored foundry
man or manufacturer. and that Mr.. Gross
was representing them here as attorney.
Mr.. Gross said that the bill was drawn BY
Capt. J. Ne. Adair ard the Assistant Secretary
OF State, and it was a simple bill.
.sMr. Butterworth, OF Winnebago,e a
wealthy manufacturer. said he would put up
S25, 900 at this moment to obtain the privt-
Ieges conferred by this bill on the Secretary
of State.
aMr. Gross, in closing the debate grew
rather warm IN repeIling the inslnuations Oh
Mr.. Harrington, and the latter interrupting
and repeating his nsinuation, Mr.. Gross, roll
ing up his sleeves, shouted: / say you're a
liar, sir,' and after repeating the word liar
several times, added, AN Infamous, red
headed liar Mr.. Harrington retorted: Tt Is
an act Of scoundrelism to introduce such a
bilI-sueh barefaeed steal. I hold myself
personally responsible for the statement any
where
Mr.. Herrington moved to strike out the
enacting clause OF the BILL and the PROPOSE
ton prevailed BY an overwhelming majority
During the discussion, the presence on the
floor was observed Of the manufacturer al
legged to be principally interested in the bill.

Messrs. Herrington and Gross, the acting
Speaker. Mr.. Matthews, pounded vigorously

GERMANY.
The Tariff Question-Germany and It's Iron
Industries.

LONDON, May 18.-A curious story, the
Stattst remarks, comes from Germany. The
frea trade papers of that country notice that
a certain German iron works, the Rupert,
rendered rails for the supply Of the Dutch
State railway at E5 per 1000 kilos. being the
lowest and, therefore, the successful bidder,
but 1T rendered to the Prussian Main Weser
State railway, foreign tenders being excluded
In that case by ministerial orders, at the sum
OF 14S marks or E7 s5 per 1000 kflos.
1t seems that four other works rendered
offers for the Prussan rail contract at the
same time, and by an amfcable arrangement
the five tenderers managed TO divide the
profit Of the operation among themselves.
Now, either the Rupert Iron Works Company
could afford to supply at the cheaper. e.,
the Dutch tender rate-or it could not. Ii 1t
could, there can be little need for pro-
lection for the German iron trade. Ii it could
not, the political wisdom which would
prompt the Prussian ministry to pay higher
price for It's own rails In order that local iron
works should be able to offer rails abroad at
cheap rate, seems painfully at fault.

SPAIN.
King 'AIfonsoa Coming Marriage With
the Arohduchess Maria Of Austria.

LONDON, May 1s.-A Madrid dispatch says
that the reports Of the marriage Of King
Alfonso to the Archduchess Maria Christina
OF Austria have met with favorable comm ents
among Conservatives, and, though neither
court has yet made any overtures, it is stated
that the project would be favorably enter
tanned at Vienna. In official circles It Is as
serted that his Majesty has never mentioned
this matter, nor could such a question be
touched on In the Council before next autumn,
when the court will leave LaGranga, after a.
full year Of mourning il over.
The visit Of Prince Rudolph, Of Spain has
revived the reports somewhat prematurely.
On high authority 1t is stated that neither the
late nor the present cabinet has ever thought
Of suggesting that, for State reasons, the
king should take wife next autumn.

Lord BeaeonsfieId is said to have fallen

Robert Peel towards her Majesty's govern

produce long array OF Instances IN which
administrations have fallen very soon after
this LiberaI-C Conservative baronet had de-
cIared against them. Immediately after en-
tering Parliament Sir Robert, although sit

the protectioniats in an attack, upon Lord
John RusselPs government, and It fell few
months later, In February, 1852. After hav-

Robert Id 1858, denounced the conspiracy

were beaten and displaced. It was not until
after he had gone into opposition to II that

John Russell dismissed Sir Robert Peel, who

which the Tories succumbed; but his appear
ance In opposition to Mr.. Gladstone was
again the prelude to the collapse OF party
and government.

he suddenly jumped up, walked to the par,
