GEN. BARLOW, an eminent lawyer Of
New York, was one of the distinguished
Republicans selected by President Grant
in November, 1875, to go to Florida and
see fair count, Having satisfied him
self that Florida had chosen the Tilden
electors, he shrank from testifying that
Hayes had the State. On this account
he is accused Of treacheryl Mr.. Reed,
of the Potter committee, calls him a
traitor for refusing to certify to lie. Ex.
Governor Noyes certified Florida had
gone for the Hayes electors. and Mr..
Hayes made him minister to France.

SENATORS Conkling and Burnside had
passage at arms'on Monday last in ex-
ecutive session, which became a bitter
personal quarrel, and only interference
prevented personal collision. 1t seems;
"a nomination for the Collectorship of
the port of Staunton, R. l., in which
Burnside was interested, was reported
adversely few days since by the Com
mittee on Commerce, of which Conkling
is Chairman. The matter came up, and
a dispute arose between Conkling and
Burnside as to who objected to its con-
sideration when first reported. Conkling
charged that Burnside did, and said, in a
very aggravating way, that he had OBJ
jected four times, and from sinister me-
tives. Burnside protested that Conkling
was mistaken. Conkling repeated his as
sertion, Burnside his denial, and so it
went, Conkling getting more exasperat.
ing and Burnside more Choleric, until
finally ConkliDg told Burnside, in par.
liamentary way, that he was not telling
the truth, Thereupon the handsome
Senator from Rhode Island lost his tenn
per utterly, bristled up as a genuine mil
itary man should, and told Conkling, in
plain Ang!o.Saxon, that he lied. The
peace.loying Hoar, who was in the chair,
having failed to silence the beligerents
with the gavel, ordered Burnside to take
his seat. The subsequent proceedings
are a trle In doubt, but the most verao
ious chronicle is that the two warriors
approached each other with clenched
fists, and personal conflict was only
avoided by the heroism of the ancient
Anthony, who threw himself into the
deadly breach, and falling on the breast
of his handsome colleague, led him out
into the corridor to cool off,"

ITALIAN SLAVERY.
Horrible BrutalitIes Prsctlcsd Upon Helpless
CHILD Musicians.

Utica, N. Y, February %. Six weeks
ago the Italian Consel at New York
City received a letter, dated at Syra-
cuse, from four young Italian musicians,
praying to be taken away from brutal
padrone named Giovanni Romagnano.
The Consul laid the case before the So
Ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children. The padrone, hearing that
officers were ON his track, fled to Canada
with the boys, where he remained one
month. Recently the padrone and his
four little slaves came to Utica. The
boys have been instructed by the the pa
drOne to give fictitious names, in hopes
Of throwing the officers off the scent.
The Utica police finally succeeded in es-
tablishing the identity of the padrone,
and he was to-day arraigned before the
Recorder of this city.
The testimony developed was pitiful
to the degree of tragedy, The musicians
told Of the brutality Of the padrone, and
their own starvation and suffering from
cold. The boys are all below thirteen
years, but with violins and harps have
made an average of $l2 per day for the
padrone. Returning with a less amount
they have been kicked, starved and
beaten. The padrone, when arrested, had
81 200 on his person, 81 900 of which was
in $40 gold pieces, sewed in the Inning Of
his coat. The Superintendent of the
New York Society appeared as proseCu.
tor, aided by eminent counsel. The pG.
drone was ably defended. After hearing
The evidence the Recorder fined the pa.
drone, and compelled him to pay each
musician $50.
The evidence shows that the padrone
system prevails throughout the United
States and Canada. The padrones are
banded to carry on this traffic in musi-
clans. They have large funds at their
command. Letters found on the person
of the padrone convicted here to-day
show that in the past eighteen months
he has sent to italy over SO 900, realized
from the four boys just released. The
Superintendent of the New York Society
says Romagnano will now be prosecuted
in the United States Courts, and that
conviction is assured. The boys left for
New York tonight, and will be sent back
to Italy. The padre ne has a handsome
estate in Italy, and the Italian Consul
gives assurances that the authorities
here will proceed against Romagnano
for violation of Italian law in taking
children from parents under false rep
resentation. The padrone is a brother
in.law of Antonio Briglios arrested in
New York for dastardly assault on the
persons Of little girls whom he held in
slavery as musicians. The New York
Society is determined to break up the
padrone system.

GENERAL Barlow of New York, and 9

GENERAL Barlow ofNew York, and at
one time Republican Attorney General,
Of that State, was before the Potter Com
mittee last week. He was one of the
eminent Republican attorneys sent to
Florida by the Republican National
committee, but proved his honesty by
taking the facts, on finding they gave the
State to the Tilden electors. He so stated
in letter published after his return in
the winter of 1877. He reiterated his
knowledge last week to the Potter Com
mitteo, and said Cowgirl of the Return.
ing Board agreed with him. Cowgirl,
however, helped to count that State for
Hayes, while knowing and admitting
Florida had gone for Tilden. The Re-
publican papers are fierce and vindictive
in their abuse of General Barlow, just
for telling the truth. He was their own
witness.
