Tho Lewis WIN Fraud.

TRENTON, N. j., March /. The District
court of tho United States met this morning
and resumed the case of the consprators who
attempted to defraud the Government out of
the bequest of Lewis, the millionaire. Wm
Sandford and Elijah Caldwell were examined
and testified to having been employed by Sacia
to work up the case Of Mrs. Lewis the pre-
tended widow of tho testator They were to
get up n marriage certificate aud other papers
to substantiate the claim that she was the
widow. Sandford was TO get So, 900 and Clld-
well 81 900. The reason they gave for turning
States evidence was penitence aud regret.
The case is still on trial.
Elijah J. Caldwell aud William Arnold de-
tailed the manner in which they aided in get
ting up the bogus marriage certificate. They
said Saca was man who took the leading
part in manufacturing testimony. Mrs. Eich
mer, with whom Mrs. Lewis boarded, testified
to conversations which occurred at her house,
and said tho conspiratols frequently met there
Mr. Mayo, counsel for the defense. here raised
a question as to whether the will of Mr.. Lewis
was ever admitted to probate. lie. insisted
that until it had been the United States had
no interest in it whatever, aud in support of
his position he quoted decisions in Now Jersey
aud England. The only way, he said, to prove
the will was by the witnesses, aud that not
having been done it should not have been ad-
mitted, and without the will having been adj
mitted to probate there was no ground for
present indictment against the defendant.

RICHMOND, VA, March both houses of
tho General Assembly tonight passed aud sent
to the Governor for his approval the bill TO re-
establish the public credit generally, known
as the Riddleberger bill 1t reduces tho prin-
cipal of the State debt from 100000 to
$20000.000 by eliminating the capitalized war

scheme for loan certificates Is provided. 1t is
intended further to outlaw the present tax-ro-
ceivablc coupons The bill was opposed in
both houses by the Conservatives and vas
carried by the Readjustcrs, aided by most of
the Republican members. From Governor
Holidays record on this debt question it is
conceded that he Will veto tho blll, but should
he let 1t become law, or what is equally inn
probable, should it be passed over his Veto it
will be submitted to the people at the next
election, and if ratified by them, will then
(and not until thcn) become operative.

The Eltz-John Porter Debate.

The anticipated debate on the FitzJohn
Porter case attracted Il large auditory both on
the floor and in tho galleries of the Senate
yesterday, and Senator Randolph, in his
speech opening tho debate, was listened to
with marked attention. Among those on the
floor were General w. T. Sherman, Repre-.
sentatives and ex-Gencrls Garfield, McCook
and White, Joe Johnston, of Virginia, and
Hooker of Mississippi. OF the Senators who
held command in the Union army were Gen.
erals Logan and Burnside, and of the exCon-
lcderatcs, Generals Butler, Coke, Gordon,
Hampton, Lamar, Maxey, Morgan, Ransom,
Williams and Withers.
Ex-senator Henry s. Lane, of Indiana, who
was prominent member of tho Senate Mill
tary Committee during the war, was also on
the floor General Porter occupied front
scat in the gallery with Senator Randolph 8
family. Mr.. Randolph was warmly congratu-
lated upon his effort by Senators on both sides
Of the chamber at the conclusion Of his re-
marks.
Much interest is felt in the debate, and the
attendance is mainly Of the most intelligent
class. The galleries will doubtless be crowded
to-day to hear the reply of General Logan,
who speaks in opposition to the bill.

We haven't any particular objection to Senator
Blaine or his boom, and whenever it appears that
he is tho strongest man that can be nominated Mt

the question of his relative strength is yet an

IN their documents that 1t is all one way aud that
the pumed knight from Maine is not only the
brightest and best of all Republican
patriots, but that his nomination IL as
Sured, the telegraph forces upon our attention
the cold fact that some other fellow is getting most
of the delegates; that Pennsylvania, New York and
Vermont have already held their conventions, and
declared for some other man, and that as far as is
known, one delegate from the District Of Columbia,
which does not vote for President at at all, and a
half dozen from Indiana, which is sure TO vote for
the Democratic candidate, are all that are thus far
pledged to Mr.. Blaine, Under these circumstances
we naturally hesitate about announcing, us re-
quested, that he Is sure to be nominated, or that
pretty much all the Republicans IN the country
desire that he should be,
Again. we prefer ~ write our own editorials and
make our own selections. Doubtless Mr.. Blaines

but our readers are more familiar with our style

A Pension for Imprisoned Soldiers.

Mr. Keifer has introduced into the House
bill granting pensions to certain Union sol.
dicrs and sailors of the late war of the REBEL.
ion who were confined in Confederate prisons.
1t provides that the Secretary of the Interior
be required to place upon the pensou-rols of
the United States, upon application and proof
to tho satisfaction of the Department, all hon
orably discharged soldiers and sailors of the
Federal army and navy vino during the late
war were captured and confined during the
period of six months or more in any of the
prisons or places commonly used for the con-
inement of prisoners by the so-called Conted
crate authorities during the late rebellion
aud who arc not now benefcaries nor entitled
to become so under existing pension laws of
the United States.
1t provides that the pension shall in each
case begin from the date of the discharge of
each soldier or sailor from the service of the
United States, at tho rate OF 50 per month in
cases where the term of imprisonment shall
have been more than six months aud less than
one year, and 81 per month additional for each
full month of such Imprisonment in excess of
one year, the pension to be paid tho same us
other pcnsionsarc paid. Nothing in this act
to authorize the reduction or to prevent the
increase of the pension Of any person now
receiving the benefit of existing pension laws.

HAVANA, March 1.-The steamer City of

Cruz, bringing the following intelligence from
the City of Mexico:
The Didrio eudeavors to have it understood
that the appointment of General Gonzalez TO
the head of the army-was q necessity of the

sources at the disposal of the general do not
exceed the wants of the service.
The DidriO seeks to dissipatc the rumors
that extraordinary powers have been given to
Gonzales. Although the government con-
tinues to declare that it will take no part
whatever in the presidential campaign, sus
picions increase that 1t is aiding with all its

not seized the lines, already having
possession thereof All that the railroad COM
pany has done is to operate its own lines, in
dependently as the charter requires, giving
equal privileges to all and exclusive privileges
to none. 1t is denied at the headquarters of
the Union Pacific Company hero that the
American Union Telegraph Company has
seized the wires or Ia to have any exclusive
rights or privileges over the Western Union OF
the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Companies.
The crisis was prccipitated by formal de-
mand upon the two railroad companies by the
American Union to receive and transmit Its
telegraphic business at Omaha and Kansas
City, upon equal terms with that of tho other
telegraph companies and this demand made it
necessary for the railroad companies TO operate
and control the telegraph lines in order to
comply with the charter and escape penalties
for refusing to do business for all persons and
companies without discrimination.
