The Senate resumed the consid'
Grafton of the bill to prevent the
introduction of contagious or infec-
tious diseases into the United
States.
By unanimous consent, Messrs.
Harris, of Virginia, and Chittenden,
of New York, were allowed to have
their votes recorded on the Legisla-
tive Appropriation bill, the former
in the affirmative, and the latter in
the negative, both having been un-
der the impression they were paired
with other members. The question
came up as unfinished business Of
yesterday, on postponement TIL
next Saturday of the bill reported
from the Coinage Committee amend.
ing the statutes relating to coinage,
and to gold and silver bullion cer-
tifcates.
The pending question was on
ordering the main question on the
resolution postponing the considera-
tion of the bill relating to coinage
and certificates, and it was ordered;
yeas 115, nays 107. The resolu-
ton was then adopted.
Mr.. Sparks, of Illinois, has
called up the order made yesterday
to reconsider the Army Appropria.
ton bill, and the House is now
voting upon the question whether,
upon reconsideration, the House
will pass the bill, Notwithstanding
the objections of the President.
No debate has been permitted, upon
the motion.
The House refused to pass the
Army Appropriation bill over the
Presidents veto, the vote standing,
yeas, 100; nays, no; not a neces-
sary two-thirds in the affirmative.
1t was strictly a party vote. Only
three of the Greenbackers voted for
the bill, nine voting against it.
Mr.. Kitchen, of North Carolina,
rising to a question of privilege, de-
nounced an allusion to himself,
which appeared in a speech printed
in the Record as the speech of his
colleague, Mr.. Russell. He charac-
terized the speech as infamously
false and slanderous, but said that
he was not surprised at his colleague
violating every parliamentary rule
and every rule of decency and pro-
priety.
Mr.. Garfield made a point of
order that R;tchin's language was
unparliamenlary, but the point was
overruled by Speaker Randall, who
remarked that gentleman, Kitchen,
had previously stated that he meant
to say nothing personal. Kitchin
reserved further remarks until his
colleague should be pre- mt.
The House adjourned until Sat

imagined as true, in this country. II
all arises from the late SOcialistic out

I could never have been reconciled to the ele-

away the letters Of that record.

I would rather have the endorsement OF quar-

of the Louisiana Returning Board, or Of the Com
mission which excluded the facts and decided
the question on a technioality.
THos. A. HENDRICKS.
Under the forms Of law, Rutherford d. Hayes
has been declared President Of the United States.
His title rests upon Acknowledgement Of lawful
voters, the false certificates Of the returning Off
GERS acting coruptly, and the decision Of com
mission which has refused to hear evidence Of al
logged fraud. For the first time are the American
people confronted with the fact of fraudulently-
elected President. Let II not be understood that
the fraud will be silently acquiesced in by the
country. Let no hour pass In which the usurpa-
tion is forgotten.

A COOP CARD.-Just as soon as il
was found that the Democrats con.
trolled both branches Of Congress, the
First National Bank of Hanover, Pa,
announced that 1t will hereafter pay
only 3 per cent. interest on yearly de-
posts, because OF "the abundance Of
money and the scarcity of good paying
investments" The business man will
see the point Of once. If Banks only
pay 3 per cent. for money he can Dor.
row for 8 or 8, when compelled TO mako
a loan. While the Banks paid and 9,
and the government z $40, the bust
ness man was forced TO pay from 10 to
Is for his loans, and In few years was
forced into bankruptcy. Now, that
governments" are only 4 and Banks
pay but 3, the struggling business man,
If driven to make loan, can got bis

SWINDLED BY CONFIDENCE
MEN.


The ST. Louis Globe of March 18th
gives the following particulars, show.
ing how a couple of Mercer men were
"taken in" while on their way to
Leadville
Alfred and William X Graham, two
brothers, who arrived here from Mercer,
Pa, on Tuesday last, were made the
victims Of the old confidence dodge.
The Grahams are on their way to
Leadville, and while on the train they
made the acquaintance of a gentleman
ly.appearing young stranger, who, upon
ascertaining their destination, told
them that his father had valuable
silver mine in Leadville, and that he
was on his way there, having just
come from the East, where he had
gone TO purchase some mining
machinery. The Grahams were at
once interested, and when the stranger
told them that be had then, at that
very moment, lot of rollers and
crusbers in the freight depot, to be
used in his fathers quartz mills, their
confidence in him became unbounded.
When the train arrived at the Union
Depot, another man entered the car
and demanded payment of the freight
bill for the machinery, insisting that il
should be paid at once. The first
stranger was in great distress at not
having enough money to pay the bill,
when William Graham suggested to
his brother Alfred that be should lend
the money to the stranger Alfred
handed over s45, all the money he
possessed, and almost Immediately the
two strangers disappeared. 1t was
not not until some time after the men
had gone away that the Grahams
realized that they had been swindled,
They complained TO the police, and the
case was placed IN the hands of Detect.
i've Lawler, Yesterday morning De-
tectives Huthsing and Page arrested
three well-known crooks and confidence
men--F. Il. Wilson, alias Milburn,
Richard Preston, alias Windy Dick,
and Henry G. Arnold, alias Stanton
who proved to be the guilty parties.
Wilson, alias Milburn, was the man
who ingratiated himself in the favor OF
the Graham brothers, and Preston was
the one who enacted the part OF freight
agent A warrant was taken out yes.
tcrday, and the Grahams will remain
here long enough to see the mon pros
ecuted and punished.

THE NEW SENATE.

Only two Union Generals now hold seats in
the United States Senate; while there are, as near
as we can tell as we write this, twelve or fifteen
men occupying seats there who owe their election
TO the fact that they served as Generals In the
rebel army and have lead In their bodies, put
there by Unipn men. OF course, under the Law,
thsss men are entitled 10 their seats, and we do
not quarrel with the legality Of the fact, but
well, It's Of no use TO comment
The foregoing is taken from the
Harrisburg Telegraph, the Radical State
organ. The editor seems to lament
the fact that none of the Northern
Senators have any lead in their flesh.
The Patriot, having copied the above,
chimes in as follows:
"Ob, yes, there is reason to com
ment The people Of the South have
sent to the Senate their best represent
ative men, the men who have served
them faithfully in war and in peace,
and on whom they could therefore
rely. The Republicans Of the North
have at the same time sent to the Sen
ate their representative men. Among
them are the mouth-hero Conkling T;
the roaring Chandler, who boasts Of
what he witnessed during the war
from o safe position in the rear; the
staggering Blaine, whose earliest and
most conspicuous movement at the
outbreak Of the war was TO rush TO
Washington to secure q contract for
breech.loading firearms TO be used by
his ncighbors; the canting Hosr; and
the male violent Edmunds. Besides
there are two or three who enriched
themselves with army jobs while the
country was bleeding at every vein.
These are the men whom the Repub.
lican party delights to honor with
seats in the Senate and they are Of the
class whom the South let occupy the
same modest position In the rear which
they coveted when the conflict ragged.
If the Republicans Of the North imita
ted the people Of the South there would
be moro manliness in the Senate Of the
United States and less waving of the
bloody shirt more public spirit and
less Of the cant Of patriotism. But
each party win act after It's own kind.
The South will elect her heroes to the
highest places, and the North will con-
tinue to elevate her swaggcring dema.
gogues, her jobbers, contractors and
plundcrers."

THEY FEEL HAPPY.

The Savannah (Ga.) Nelcs, upon
learning that both chambers OF Con
gress was now under the control Of
the Democrats, uttcrs the following
sound sense;
"Now that the troops have been
withdrawn from the Southern election
precincts, and tho carpet-bagger with
bis forty acres and q mule" is no long
or able to wheedle the negroes into
voting the Radical ticket and deposi'
ting their savings in Freedman's Saw
ings Banks, the Radical party have lii
tic hope OF electoral votes from the
"solid South" and are forced TO rely
upon the machinery Of the Federal
election laws to carry the closely con
tested States of the North. Hence the
obstinacy with which they resist the
repeal Of those laws. Acting unde,
these laws in the past, tho Radical par
ty has not scrupled to convert the De
partment OF Justice into an election
bureau, and through the agency Of
corrupt Federal judges and partisan
deputy marshals and supervisors, &c
expend vast sums Of the public money
IN controlling the elections and depriv
ing citizens Of their right TO free-ex
erciso of the elective franchise. If the
existing laws are not repealed, the
same machinery will be put in opera
ton at the next Presidential election
both North and South, but more espe
cially in those Northern States where
the elections are close and where there
are large numbers of adopted citizens
The question for the representatives Of
the people in Congress to determine
is whether the Radical party shall bt
permitted to continue to run the De
partment Of Justice as partisan cleo
ton bureau at the expense Of the Gov
ernment. Tho honest voters Of the
country, in the belief that they are ca
pable Of casting their votes for Presi
dent and members Of Congress without
the aid and supervision OF United
States deputy marshals and supervisors
of elections, demand that the Federal
election laws shall be repealed. Con
gress will disappoint the patriotic hope
Of the country and bring just rcproach
upon itself if after the stand il has
taken it should fail to wipe the vestigC
of these odious and tyrannous election
laws from the statute book"
