The report of the subcommittee
on the matter of the State debt re-
commends the payment only of about
three and q half million dollars of the
bonded Indebtedness. The balance it
claims to be fraudulent. When the
question has brought up before the
full committee o hot discussion en-
sued. Two reports will be the result
the majority favoring the scaling of
the debt to about forty cents on the
dollar. We will merely remind the
country delegates that the blandish-
ments of interested bondhOlders will
be no excuse to their constituency
when they return home. The mass
of the country people do not favor
total reputation Of the public indcbt-
edncss, because there arc just and
honorable claims. These they do not
even want scaled--they are honorable
and should be paid, But where all
fraudulent claims are concerned, the
honest masses are q unit in favor Of
reputation. Your duty, delegates
while the seductive smiles of bloated
bondholdersaie endeavoring to draw
you from the path of duty, the people
who intrusted their interest to youl
guardianship, are Watching you Will

Ex-Gov. Seymour recently over
hauled by an interviewer, freely says
that the subject of military interior
ence at elections will he the real issue
upon which the next Presidential
campaign will be fought. There is q
deep feeling on this subject in the
North us well as the South, and Gov
Seymour knows what is thought of il
in New York, where he, as Executive
Of the State, so earnestly met the at
tempt Of the government to surround
the polls with soldiers that the scheme
was abandoned.

Of q couple Of white men who were
called In to net as witnesses. The
couple then took the next train back
to Beaver, where Jones hired q room
in q small house, which has only three
r,Wms In 1t, two Of which were already
occupied by negro families. The

from her room, and this was the first
intimation her mother had Of tho mar

her daughter to return to her home,
but she refused. Her father is not at

The N. O. Democrat says that in the
Molair miscegenation case, which
came up before Judge Wocrner in
st. Louis the other day, the judge de-
cided that mulatto was not n negro.
The Missouri constitution forbids the
intermarriage Of the races. The ques-
ton before Judge Woerner was
whether quadroon came under the
terms of this law or not. The Judge
decided in the negative, holding that
any person in whose veins white
blood predominatcd could not be
considered a negro.

will leave for st. Louis. 70 the
question whether he intends to seek
any legal redress for the wrong done
him he would give no direct reply.
Many of the men who composed the
mob, he says, are known. Mrs.
AtchIey was a Mahan previous to her
marriage. The family is q very nu-
merous one, and, Allen claims, in
cludes several rutfians. The Atch-
lcys are also a very numerous family.
Allen showed to our reporter the
moose with which he was hung, or
was intended to be hung. The rope
broke about two feet from his head,
and this part of it he has. The piece
which remained tied to the bridge
was spirited away before daylight.
The knot is known as 'hangman's,"
but is not the best knot Of that de-
scription that could be tied. The
rope smells of q COW stable. Allen
says it is definitely known where it
came from.
The name Storer, by which he has
been recently called, he states is that
of a relative who brought him up.
His fathers name WAS Allen, and
away from the home Of his boyhootl
he has always been known by the
name of Allen.
While in the hands Of the mob he
says he felt much less fright than he
did afterwards when entirely safe
again. He felt certain they were 60
ing to kill him, but sort of feeling
of desperation had possession Of him
and made him reckless and defiant
He expects to remember the little
episode for some time to come, and
will keep the moose.

GREENBACK CAUCUS.
The National Greenback members of
the House also held caucus OF three hours
duration to day on the subject of the Pres
idential veto A general interchange OF
views occurred, but no definite action was
reached as to what course they should
pursue. Information obtained from a
trustworthy source indicates that the
meeting was not altogether harmonious,
there being a great diversity of opinion as
to the proper steps to be taken, and in the
course of the debate the fact was devel-
oped that the National party will not stand
as unit on the question when it comes
before the House, but will divide, some
sustaining the veto, others opposing it,and
third fraction refraining from voting
either way.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON. April 30,-Senator Ham
lin opposed the bill, and moved to recon-
nit, with instructions to frame a code of
rules and regulations to carry the object of
the act into effect. He could not support
the present measure, because of its severity
against our commercial marine,and because
it made the national board of health a
legislative BODY in the making of rules and
regulations. This Yves too grave duty to
be entrusted to them,
Senator Herman opposed the bill.
Senator Garland, of the committee called
attention to the fact that the bill required
all rules and regulations framed by the
national board of health to be uniform and
subject to the approval Of the president.
de said the committee did not want the
bill recommitted, as they had already done
all they could to present the bill in an &C
ceptable shape.
Senators Hoar and Conkling opposed
the measure.
Without further proceedings the senate
went into executive session, and soon after
adjourned
