EMPLOYEES OF THE SENATE
To be Retained, by Agreement I'm the
Caucus OF Democratic Senators
Secretary Burch TO Appoint
His own Assistance.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Democratic
senators in caucus have ratified the report OF
the committee recently appointed to deslg-
nate the employees of the senate for retention.
II was unanimously agreed that the senate
should permanently retain Captain Isaac
Bassett, the assistant doorkeeper, and the VEN
cradle William John (well known as keeper
of the main door OF the senate chamber),
both of whom have been IN the service OF the
senate for forty years or more, and also Amzl
Smith, superintendent OF the docket room,
together with two of the acting assistant
do1rkeepers, who are crippled Union soldiers.
1t was also agreed that changes IN the force
of the clerical employees shall be gIadually
made during the present month, IN su;h
manner as to avoid inconvenience as much as
possible 1t was suggested in the caucus that
several of the most experienced clerks should
be included in the list Of employees expressly
designated Tor retention, but, after some dis
cusslou, the majority decided that the secre-
tlry OF the senate should exercise his own
Judgment and discretion concerning the per-
sonnet Of his office; and sinllar decision was
made by the caucus IN regard to the PROPOSE
ton to add to the list the names OF certain
especially useful and faithful members OF the
force Of the sergeant at arms. No action was
taken on the question of permitting gem
sral legislation during the present session,
but the prevalent sentiment appeared to be
strongly Ia favor Of restricting tie Legislative
business to the passage of the appropriation
bills.
The senate rejected the nomination of b
b. Turner, to be United States district judge
for the northern district Of Texas.

LONDON.
Gloomy Accounts of Depression In the
Commerce of Great Britaln-Im-
mense Deficit in the British
Budget-Tea Duties-MinInK
Matters.

LONDON, April 2.-David NJ 'Ivar, one of
the proprietors of the Cunard line and MEM
Der of parliament, writes that he does not
know of any nation whose trade prospects
are so gloomy as that of Great Britain. Brit
ish exports to the United States are compare
lively nothing IN volume OF value. The bal
ance of trade Is so overwhelmingly against
Great Britain, he sees nothing except ruin
for home industries, whether manufacturing
or agricultural, if the present state of
things is allowed to continue. The export
trade from Liverpool to the United States
is so small that when the restrictions on
the importation of United States cattle are
removed it is intended to make outward
voyages with water ballast only, ship
being unwilling to scramble for the little
out y ard freight recently carried as ballast at
nominal rates.
The budget to be announced Thursday will
show, it is said, surplus of two million
seven hundred and two thousand pounds on
ordinary expenses, out of which it will be
necessary to provide for supplementary esti-
mates, or do something toward decrease of
the accumulated deficit of Eve million pounds
caused by the extraordinary expenditure in
consequence of eastern affairs. The Times
points out that, despite the accumulation of
this deficit the country really has been pay
ing its way, as 1t has, while the deficit was
accommodating, devoted more than three MIL
lion pounds annually to the reduction of the
| debt. 1t deprecates, under any circumstances,
any increase In taxation merely to pay the
| debt. or, if such must be imposed, it would
recommend an additional penny of income
| tax, instead of disturbing trade by an in
crease of indirect taxes.
The duty paid on tea withdrawn from the
bonded warehouses on Friday, Saturday and
| Monday, averaged fifty-two thousand pounds
/ sterling. The Withdrawals were IN conse-
| quence of the apprehension that the govern
| ment intended to levy duty on tea, the an
| nouncement of which would be made IN the
{, budget statement or Thursday night.
The South Staffordshire mines drainage
commission has confirmed the resolution o
the Upton committee to give fortnight
notice of the stoppage of the working of al
| the commissioners pumping engines, thei
income not being sufficient to meet expendi
lures. Earl Dudley, one of the prlncipa
mineral proprietors, refused to give any as
| sistance TO the commissioners

Rig Mining strike IN California

SAN Francisco, April about two
hundred laborers employed on The Sea wall,
North Beach, struck to-day. They went to
the California street hill where about one
hundred men were grading for some con-
tractor, and forced them to quit work. A
strong squad of police maintained order.
The strikers demand an advance Of half a
dollar per day, and say they will allow nc
one to 60 to work at the former wages. The
contractor announces his intention of putting
on men at the previous rates.

THE REDMEN
Enectually Break Up a Nest of Bad
People who were In Possession OF
a West Virginia Town.

WHEELING, w. VA, April The town
OF Pennington, Marion county, has been in
tested for some time past by class of people
who have lived in open violation of law and
decency, selling whisky without license and
living in open adultery. Late last night a
band of thirty men, supposed to belong to a
vigilance committee recently organized under
the name of sRedmen," visited Mrs.
M 'Guire's place and threw her stock of whisky
into the street. They next called at the
house of Mrs. Tocthman, breaking down the
door, where a man named David Snodgrass
was found in company with the woman. He
was given twenty lashes on the back with a
hickory rod. They also gave Snodgrass,
Mrs. Toothman, Jane Brumage, Joseph E.
Morgan, and girl named Belle Young, a
coat of tar and feathers.

NASHVILLE, April 2.-The directory of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
railway met here to-day, and approved the
action of its officers in having waived the
tax exemptions, and agreed to pay the pro
rata tax with the other roads to the extent of
one hundred thousand dollars, in aid of the
interest on the State debt, to be adjusted at
fifty cents
1t has been discovered that some member
of the legislature, or other person, so
amended the appropriation bill at the closing
hour of the session az to reduce Commits
sioner Killebrew's salary from three to two
thousand dollars, and giving him merely
nominal amount for travelling expenses,
when both houses had rejected bills to that
effect. The change has created much Cos
zip, inasmuch as it is believed to have been
surreptitiously done.

"A PITIEUL APPEAL
From the CelOred People, who have
Run Short In their Efforts to Reach
the Free Westo-A Chance for
the True Friend OF the
Race to Devel0R.

ST. LOUIS, April "A number of promi-
nent colored gentlemen who have been most
active in relieving, while here, and assisting
to their destination the colored emigrants
from the south, issued, this afternoon, the
following appeal for aid:
To All Generous and Charitable People throughout
the Country:
For three weeks there have been almost
daily landed at our wharves scores, and some
times hundreds, of colored refugees from the
south, fleeing from a second slavery. Their
accounts of the oppression and inhuman
treatment by the White-leagueFs and plant
ers are terrible. Their struggle to make
their way to the free west should receive the
attention of liberty-loying men and women
everywhere, and we appeal to all such for
means to assist them in finding new
homes. The eolared people of this
city have not encouraged them to
come The transportation companies have
offered them no inducement to emgrate
but, according to their own testimony, they
have started for Kansas because they heard
they would be free there and because it was
impossible tor them to live longer at their
old homes. These refugees at best have but
slender means. large proportion of them
will be destitute when they reach here,
having spent all their money for passage
| to this point, and are thus dependent upon
| others to reach their destination. The colored
people of this city are doing all in their power
| to help them. So far they have fed and shell
| tered them while here, and forwarded several
| hundred to Kansas; but still they cone, and
we are now compelled to appeal TO TIE gem
erous and benevolent people everywhere to
| aid Us IN our work. We need both money
| and clothing. In the name of God and hu-
manity, we ask belp for the refugees. Any
| contributions sent to the following persons
| will he most thankfully received and acknowl-
