STILL AT IT.
LIP SERVICE IN CONGRESS.
Lively Talks in the Senate and House
Indian Affairs on Pacific Coast
Accidents, Incidents, Fires
and Crimes.
The Victorious Infaiionists.

Washington, May 14.-The most
noteworthy feature of yesterdays pro-
ceedings in congress was the refusal of
the senate to strike from the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropria-
tion bill the clause directing the secre-
tary of treasury to issue Immediately in
payment of pension arrearage the ten
million dollars of legal tender notes
now held as a special fund for the re-
demption of fractional currency. The
vote of 81 against 20, by which the
senate has united with the house of
representatives in providing for this
large increase of the money circulation
of the country, was rendered especially
significant by the tenor of the running
speeches which preceded it, in the
course of which the opponents of this
provision insisted that its tendency and
effect were wholly in the direction of
imitation. and rs far as possible en-
deavored to draw the lines upon it
strictly between the friends and oppo-
nents of the so-called hard-money sys-
tenn of national finances. Several sem
ators voted for the proposition, who
cannot be justly considered infationists,
or soft-money men. But after making
all allowances of this sort, there seems
to be no doubt that the vote un-
mistakably indicated the existence of
working majority in the senate in favor
of extensive imitation of the currency,
and quite clearly foreshadows the
policy by that body of the silver free
coinage bill, which will in two or three
days. be sent to it from the house of
representatives.

The British Rrigadiers.

London, May 14.-In the house of
commons last night, Dilwyn Ciberal)
moved that in the opinion of the house
it was necessary that the limits prerog-
ative should be more strictly observed,
so as to prevent ministers under cover
of supposed personal interposition of
the sovereign, from Withdrawing from
cognizance of house, matters which are
properly within the scope of its powers.
Dilwyn in his speech pointed out as ex-
amples of such matters, the annexation
of Transvaal, the dispatch of Indian
troops to Malta and sending of the fleet
to the Dardanelles.
Gladstone called attention to the fact
that the house had already approved
several acts of the government which
motion he proposed to censure. He
regarded the allegation of the motion
as untimely and not supported by
facts.
Northcote announced that the gov,
ernment had decided to meet the mo
tion by direct negative. Referring te
imputations of unconstitutional actor
on the part of the queen, conveyed il
Dilwyn's speech, he explained that
Lord Lytton's correspondence with hel
majesty was not political, it was mere
ly narrative of the movement of hel
| troops.

New York, May 14.-The Bulletin
has also sharp criticism on the nulli-
fcation attitude of California under the
new constitution. Either California
must ignore certain provisions of the
recently adopted constitution, out of
respect for authority of the United
States, or the federal government must
remodel its treaties out of regard for
authority for California. The new con-
stitution of that state has placed it in
direct conflict with the national gov
ernment in respect to the rights and
liberation of the Chinese. The situa-
tion thus created must soon engage Sc
rious attention of the cabinet and con-
gress. California has daringly thrown
down the gauntlet, and it should be as
promptly taken up.
The Times prints a lengthy commu-
nication signed "old California" at
tributing the adoption of the new con-
stitution to the "work of shysters.
The Times says. we have all sorts of
tiooliSo liOlu Sdilloiulh, anu liOul GA
Californians to account for the recent
revolution in that state; one of these,
which we publish to-day excuses the
alleged tyrannies of large corporations
of that state, and lays blame for the
present discomfort upon the people who
do not apprehend the real state of the
case. But it must be confessed by all
who know anything of the public feel
ing in California, that ever since the
Pacific railroad was completed, that
country has been constantly agitated in
various ways by the men who have fin
ally succeeded in foisting communis-
tic convention upon that state. and
that this faction, however called, has
drawn its most cogent arguments from
the enormous contrast afforded by COM
parison of the condition of the rich and
poor.

as the white laborers of California, or
the negroes of Mississippi. To put it
in his own words, They are willing to
work for very small compensation, and
take no interest in politics, religious
or educational matters
Six or seven dollars a month for
wages, with an allowance of twenty-five
or thirty dollars a year for provisions
on the plantations in the south, he
says, would meet their utmost expecta-
tions, and even at these wages they
would live better and save more than
the negroes do.
We are inclined-to think it will re-
quire something more than sentiment
tai objections to prevent the speedy in
PRODUCTION of Cinnamon, in the gulf
states at least.

and expenses of the laboring men.
The demonstration act of '73 was a
damned fraud. The money which ex-
listed before Abraham, before Troy had
lifted Rome to splendor. when it was
extinguished, the world sunk for a
thousand years into darkness, and
when rekindIed. it lightened the civili-
zation of two continents. He closed

Justice overtaking Him.

Paducah, KY, May 1.-TWO years
ago Dan Edmunds, who lived in Liv-
ingston county, ran off to Arkansas
with neighbor's daughter, leaving a
wife and family behind. A short time
ago he started back to his former home
with the woman and child, and when
near the Mississippi river he killed and
buried both. On returning he took
up with his lawful wife. The bodies of
of the murdered woman and child were
found and identified, and search was
instituted for Edmunds. Yesterday an
officer from Arkansas arrived at the
home of the murderer, arrested and
took him back to the scene of his crime.

Are the Chinese Wanted in the South.


New York, May 1.-THE New Or
leans Times says:
"Chinese are not the kind of people
wanted in Louisiana. They are of no
more value to the state than so many
mules.''
Whereupon to-day's Bulletin, COM
menting, says:
THE planters, as class, are disposed
to give Chinese labor a fair trial. Since
the war, every possible effort has beer
made with private enterprise and cor.
porate capital to supply the south with
precisely the kind of people the Times
prefers, but somehow or other the effort
has failed. 1t seems to us that Louis
lana and Missippi planters have bu1
little choice left them. 1t is to thu
credit of the planters that they are yer,
generally disposed to accept these con
clusions. They are willing to give Chi
nese cheap labor fair chance, and have
not come to this conclusion without
knowing what they are about.
Some of their number have been in Ca
ifornia to inquire into the qualification
Of Cinnamon to do work in reserve fo
them in the south.
One of these, Mr.. Greaves, 70
many years cotton planter in Hind
county, Miss, reports that he has trie,
them as field hands, and found then, ii
every respect, as efficient and reliabl

Paris, May 14.-The La Liberte an
nounces that in consequence of the eff
forts of President Grevy, the cabinet
has resolved to leave the disturbing
questions in allegiance.
LIE Temps makes confrmatory
statement that the difficulties have been
arranged. When the question of the re-
turn of the chambers to Paris, comes
up, the cabinet will point to its past
conduct as sufficient guarantee of
tranquility, and will, if necessary, to
demand vote of confidence. 1t still
intends to reorganize the prefecture of
police, but the reorganization will be
the work of time requiring the assis-
tance of a majority in the chambers.

Beecher Solid in the South. j..

Memphis, May 14.-Henry Ward
Beecher lectured last night to four
thousand people. He was introduced
by Col. ]. M. lKeating, of the Appeal,
formerly a bitter opponent. Beecher
gave him check for $3.50 for the
Orphan asylum.
A great deal of prejudice against
Beecher has been allayed by his visit
here. The Chattanooga and Atlanta
engagements have been cancelled, and
Beecher returns to Brooklyn, on ac-
count of physical inability to fulfil them.
While in this city Beecher has been
treated with the utmost respect, and
his coming was the occasion of excur-
sion trains being put on all the roads
leading into Memphis, all crowded
with people from west Tennessee, north
Mississippi, north Alabama and Ar
kansas,

New York, May 14.-The Times to-

ly married, in Rome, Miss Ada Hun
gerford, sister of Mrs. Mackey, wife OF
the California many-times million
aire, is now said not to be as rich as
has been reported, his supposed prop
erty mainly consisting of strongholds
in castles and financial aspirations af-
ter the unattainable.
This story is likely to be correst, des-
pite the understanding that he is 'con-
nected with railway operations in South
America" which may mean much or
nothing.
