WASHINGTON. April IA communication
from the Secretary OF the Navy was laid before
the House. this afternoon. giving information
in reply to House resolution. regarding the
breaking out Of yellow fever on the Unitcd
States ship Plymouth. The Secretary says the
opinion generally prevails among experienced
naval men that the freezing process is sufficient
protection against the temperance OF the yell
low fever, alter II has once appeared on board
OF n vessel. There nre instances whore IL has
resulted otherwise. although they have not been
sufficiently numerous to entirely destroy tho
opinion. Why the Plymouth was not sufficient
ly lrozen and fumigatcd, has been referred 10 a
medical board TO report thereon. The remark
nbe tact that tho disease broke out at the pre-
else point In the ship whore II appeared in
November last. may be supposed TO weaken
somewhat the theory that the freezing process
Is reliable remedy. A single example cannot
however. be sufficient To entirely overthrow the
presumption in its favor. Tho Department will
continue to resort TO II In all cases. hut will at
the same time add to II all other known sanitary
remedies. hs well as such ms additional inyes-
legations may discover, In the mean time what
ever experiments either experience or science
may suggest should be tried. in order that
nothing shall he omitted to arrest the progress
and ravages OF this terrible scourgc.

WAsH1NGToN April 12.-Tho recent exodus
OF negroes from the South TO tho West has at
last attracted the attention OF Congress. A
caucus OF Republican Senators was held this
afternoon TO discuss the subject. Speeches
were made by various Senator'S notably those
representing States to which tho negroes are
moving. 1t was the sentiment OF the caucus
that the movement was OF such Importance as
to merit at least Congressional inquiry. II not
national Legislation. There has been gradual
but very slow tide OF emigration OF negroes from
Louisiana Mississippi. Georgia. and Tennessee
to Kansas and Nebraska since 1869. There is
one colony OF negroes in Kansas, numbering
over thousand persons. which was established
by few coored emigrant agents over nine
years ago. Statements were made to the caucus
that the people residing in localities which have
recently been invaded by negro emigrants are
channg under the burden thus imposed upon
them. At Leavenwoith and Wyandotte tempo
rary barracks have been built to accommodate
the houseless emigrants. and subscriptions
have been taken up in the town to buy
corn and bacon for them. Tho residents
OF these inflicted cities complain OF tho
expense to which they have been put on
ACCOUNT OF the negro movement
The statement WAS made in the caucus that
In some localities in tho South the white pao-
Pile were attempting forciby to prevent the ne
eroes from moving. Ono Senator said he had
been told that the Mississippi River steamboat
companies had doubled up their rates fortrans-
porting negro passengers North, and that
armed men had been stationed ut the landing
places to prevent negroes from cmbnrking for
the West. In view OF these statements. tho Gnu
Gus was OF the opinion that the subject should
be Investigated. II any attempt had been
made to interfere with the right OF the citizen
to change his place of abode. the country should
know IT, and the Instructors be punished.
The dis cussion was not Of partisan charnc-
ter. The Republicans were OF the opinion that
in consideration OF n question SO vitality con-
corning the interests Of tho South and West,
pnrtisansnip should not play part. II was de-
cided TO Introduce resolution in the Senate
requesting the President TO direct Federal
officers in the Statcs from which the negroes
are removing. and in the States where the emf
grants are settling. to give all the Information
obtainnble on tho subject OF the exodus. The

TROr's PLUNDERED BANK.
The Motion 20 Quash the Indictment for Per-
jury Against Its President Denied.

ALBANY, April 12.-Justice Westbrooll to-
day rendered his decision on the motion to
quash the indictment for perjury sound 10y tho
Grand Jury OF Rensselaer, County in November
last against ID. Thomas Vail. President OF tho
Merchants and Mechanics Bank OF Troy. now
In the hands OF receiver. The alleged perjury
consisted in swearing to the correctness Of the
quarterly report Of the bank. made about Sept. !,
1878. and in stating that the largest aggregate OF
loans to ono individual. flrm. or corporation
was t4922l. .5j and. second. in declaring that
the aggregate OF loans upon paper made, ac-
ceptcd or endorsed by tne directors. individu-
ally or as members Of firms. was fi2.OOi.2l.
Justice Westhrook holds that tho Superinten-
dent OF the Bank Department can call on any
institution to state in its report. in n general
way tho largest loan made to amy one indivld-
ual firm. or corporation, ms such Information Ia
necessary to show its condition, rs IL shown by
the history OF banking institutions which have
boon wrecked by large loans to single individ-
uals, corporations or firms. The absorption OF
an entire bank capital by ono or moro OF Its
officers Is SO frequent that no argument Is
needed To show tho wisdom Of demanding this
Information. The statute demands 1t in such
words that language palmer could not have
been employed. Tho application to quash Is
made upon the assumption that tho Superin-
tondont asked more than the law allowed. We
are clear that he did not, and hence the motion
cannot prevail

necessary during an argument but is during

Keeps Up his "Civie Relations"

The monthly meeting OF tho Third Assem-
bly, District Republican Association at 225
Grand street-of late a political bear garden
was pleasantly orderly. This change was due
to the foresight OF President Thomas ii. Riley.
He stationed himself at tho door. and admitted
none OF the "kckers" as Republicans Of the
district who dissent from his rule over the as
sociation have been termed. When the hour
for tho meeting came he stationed a guard Of
heavy weights at the door. and then he assumed
the presidential chair and gayel. The routine
business was rapidly reelsd on. Then william
Freeman, Chairman OF the Colored Hepublican
Central Committee and messenger In the DIS
trict Attorneys office, took the floor. He was
very grave and deliberate.

consideration.
Mr.. McLean-I think Il Ia pertinent TO see
what tho Captain knows about gambling in his
precinct And II has always been the practice,
IN trials OF Captains before the Board 10 go into
everything about Captains precinct where the
matter touched the charge under consideration.
Mr. Bliss remarked. significantly that many
loose practices had existed in tho business OF
the Board which should DO reformed. and that
was ono Of them.
Commissioner Erhardt decided: In all fair
ness TO an officer on trial. he should be tried on
the charge made, and that only. The rules pro-
nis, orho vnHt speclncnllons shal pc given to any
tried. and TO those the evidence should be re-
stricted. II tho charge in this case had been
that Capt Williams permitted gambling houses
In MS precinct, questions such rs that proposed
would be perfectly proper. but. under this
charge. the question is not pertinent"
Capt Williams smiled. left the witness stand
and tho case was declared closed.
. Three other complaints against Capt. Will
liams remain. and may be tried at I O'Clock
Monday. to which time the court adjourned.
