The HOafSe.

Mr.Reagan submitted report announoi nc
that the conference committee on the river
and harbor appropriation bill had come to
an agreement thereon. Report agreed to.
Mr. Tucker moved that the House resolve
itself into committee for the purpose Of con.
sidering the tariff bills. The Republicans
refused to vote, thus leaving the House with
out a quorum, and Mr.. Tucker, stating that
he did not desire to obstruct public business,
withdrew the motion for the present.
Mr.. Harris moved to procsed to business
on the speakers table. On a
vote by tellers the majority of the Repub-
icans refused to vote, stating they did not
want to take up the electoral count bill, Mr..
Hawley, however, stating that he was not
willing to dodge that bill, but wanted it
taken up for consideration and acton. voted
in affirmative, and his example was followed
by several other Republicans. The report of
"no quorum" being raised, the yeas and nays
were ordered, and the motion was agreed to.
The first bill of importance on the speak
er's table was the Senate bill regulating the
pay and appointment of deputy marshals,
consideration of which was finally postponed
till tomorrow after reading the journal,
when three hours will be granted the Repub-
lican side to debate the proposition.
The next business on the speakers table
was the Senate resolution proposing joint
rule for counting the electoral vote for Pres
ident and Vice President.
Mr.. White moved to refer the resolutions
to the committee on electoral count. Re-
jected. Yeas, go; nays, 102.

THE INDIANA DBMOoRArs.

The Democrats of Indiana did a good
days work on Wednesday. Hon. Franklin
Landers was nominated for governor, and
the present incumbents of the other State
officers were complimented by re-nomi-
nation. Mr.. Landers is a man of fine ability,
unquestioned honesty, and is extremely
popular throughout the State. His associ-
ates are all men who have served the people
we'll in the past, and under their careful
management the expenses of the State
government have been lessened to such a
degree as to make the people of Indiana
the ightest burdened with taxation of any
in the country. So excellent ticket will no
doubt be triumphantly elected.
The platform adopted is an excellent one.
It declares in favor of the enforcement of
the laws without discrimination for or
against any person of whatever grade of
society; that taxes should be levied equitably;
that the most rigid economy should be prac-
ticed, and that the elections should be free
from intimidation. The financial resolution
is moderate and mainly free from
objection. 1t declares that the
coin and paper money of the country should
be Of uniform value and readily convertible,
and should have as much purchasing power
as the money of other first class commercial

countries of the world; and the paper money,
like the coin, should be furnished by the
United States, and should not be in excess OF
such quantity as will always remain at par
with coin. The proposition to tax green
backs may be objected to by some, but as
there is large element in both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties that favors
such course, it is proper that the idea should
have expression.
The avowal of the separation of the powers
and authority of the States and the federal
government is not extreme, in any sense
1t is simply repetition of the ideas incor
porated in the constitution of the United
States which recognizes the distinction be-
tween federal and State authority.
The denunciation of the great fraud OF
1867, which resulted in the inauguration OF
Hayes and Wheeler in offices TO which they
were not elected, is emphatic and unequiv-
ocal. 1t is not only spoken of as an outrage
but crime against the elective franchise
that cannot be forgiven, and the Republican
party is held responsible for its commission
The tenth resolution is somewhat move
one to appear in a political platform, but il
is nevertheless so we'll deserved a rebuke tC
the Republican party for claiming the credit
of our abundant harvest and the resultant
prosperity that it will scarcely be regarded
generally as inapropos. 1t very appropri
ately, indeed, denounces it as false ani
blasphemous when partisan leaders claim
that this is the work of their hands, ani
that the people shall be thankful to them
and not grateful to heaven, for returning
prosperity.
The endorsement of Gov. Hendricks as
candidate for the Presidency was expected
and is compliment to which he is fairly en-
titled from the Democrats of his own State
None will be found to object to its passage
While according to colored citizens vel
come to the State, the convention objects
most decidedly to the importation of pauper
for political purposes, and with consistenc.
disapproves of the importation of Chimes,
cheap labor at Pacific ports. Both resolu
tions will find an echo among all fair-mindet
men.
The delegation at large to Cincinnati vii
be an unusually strong one. 1t consists o
Senators Mcdonald and Voorhees,, Judg
Black and Col. w. E. Slack. all gentlemen o
recognized ability and force of character
These, together with the district delegates
will make a strong fight in the national con
vention in favor of Gov. Hendricks, ant
their opponents will learn that they are no
| to be despised.

IT has often been said that fame consists
in rising to greatness and have your name
spelled wrong in the newspapers. Senator
Oonkling has achieved fame in another way.
He opened his speech presenting the name
of Grant, with beautiful little verse, and
this is the way the Cincinnati Enquirer
compliments it:
Speeches were limited to ten minutes each,
and the Senator plunged at once into his sub
ject "When asked IUherace comes our candidate,
zoe say. from ApponaGttor. He could not have
begun more artistically or impressively.
The words in Italic show the way his open
ing was stupidity transmitted by the associa-
ted press. AS matter of fact, when the
applause subsidized he commenced without
even 80 much as saying Gentlemen of the
Convention" and said:
"Aud when asked what State he hailed from,
Our sole reply shall be-
He halls from Appomatox,
And its famous apple-tree."
We presume this has already been incor-
rectly quoted million times, but it was
nevertheless beautiful conceit and splendid
IL uttered.

Ordered Out of Town.

The police did quiet but exceedingly eff
fective bit of work yesterday, in ordering
from st. Paul as hard trio of thugs as ever
visited this part of the country. Their
names are ''Big jack Howard, Sandy Bar
mum and "Caty" Burns, and they are sup
posed to be from part of the gang that
have been terrorizing Minneapolis. They
we're discovered by Capt. Clark and Detec-
tive Bresett yesterday afternoon holding q
close communion confab on Sibley street.
near the levee. When accosted they became
very nervous, and stated that they had Just
arrived from Dubuque, which was taken
cum qaGnO by the officers, who gave them
orders to leave the city instanter. The Sioux
City express was about leaving and they
went on board with CELEBRITY. Another of the
gang, son of "Caty" Burns, was arrested at
Owatonna last summer for robbinc the
postofice, and afterwards jumped his bail.
The men are hard cases, and all similarly
disposed will find it to their advantage to
steer clear of st. Paul, as the air is too rich
for their blood.

WHO WILL 1T BE?

Mr.. Iytden Speaks UegeneroMsIy Of No
One-What He Thinks of Candidates.
Mr.. Payne.
doubt if any one ever heard Governor
Tilden speak an ungenerous word of any OF
the different gentlemen who have been
spoken of as candidates. OF one thing you
can rest assured. no candidate can be nomi-
mated at Cincinnati who is or has been allied
in any way with the boiling faction in this
State. No matter what Governor Tilden
might advise, his friends would resent such
an insult and the wisdom of the convention
on that point is already assured.
Now when speak of the different candi-
dates, understand me, express only nay own
views, but they are based on frequent con-
versations with leading Democrats from
every part OF the country, especially OF New
York State.
Bayard, for reasons obvious to any sensi-
bic person, is an impossible candidate for
this campaign at least. Field has some
friends, or rather sympathizers, here, but
he is far from being strong.
AS to Davis, Palmer and others of their
kind, they came too recently from the Re-
publican party. We want Democrat this
time. We are not running candidates az we
did in 1872 to canonize them; we have re-
spectacle Saints calendar already, and must
have men who can give us four years of hard
work.
Hancock and Mcclellan are both popular
in New York, but if Grant runs the cry will
be for Democratic statesman, and, aside
from that, it would look to me too much like
entering corporal against captain in q
strife for company honors. Hendricks would
bs hamstrung before he got to the first
quarter pole. Tilden's retirement
includes his, as matter of course.
think if TiIden is out of the way that Ohio
should furnish the candidate. I can't speak
for Ohio but here in New York Henry B.
Payne is by all odds the strongest man that
could be named. He is very popular here.
Why, at Saratoga, in 1876, while sojourniDg
there, every day was constant ovation to
him. He is New Yorker by birth, which
partly accounts for the kindly feelings we
have for him. His unvarying soundness on
all Democratic principles, his person probity
and the high regard in which he has always
held official and professional obligations,
make him just the man 10 bring to his sup
port the conservative and independent voters.
Another thing in his favor is that at the
darkest period of the war, when federal
usurpation and Encouragement had driven
people in his section almost to despair, he
was both brave and wise. There is nothing
in his record to defend, and in his Ameri-
canism, in the truest and broadcast sense of
the word, he antagonizes third term Repub-
licanism as he personifies in his career the
highest type of Democratic craftsmanship.
He has had no paid claquers working boom
for him, but among thinking and observing
men that helps his chances before the con-
vention and the people. GRASSLAND.

CLEoPATRA's NEEDLE.

Letter from tie superintendent of RensOraI.
New London Comm Telegram, June Sd.
The Telegram has received letter from
Henry E. Davis, of Noank, who accompanied
the party which has gone to Alexandria,
Egypt, for the purpose of removing Cleo.
patra's Needle to New York. Mr.. Davis
acts in the capacity of superintendent
of removal. Writing from Alexandria
under date of May 18th, Mr.. Davis says
that the original plan was to move the obe
lisk through the City of Alexandria on a
truck, which was brought from America for
that purpose. The authorities, however,
would not permit this, fearing that it would
damage the sewers. It was then determined
to build float and put the needle into it. This
plan was successfully carried out, and the
float was launched on the Both of March
last. 1t was simply box, SO feet long, %
feet wide, and 8 feet deep,
very strongly constructed. At the date of
Mr.. Davis letter the obelisk was in the dry
dock and the float had been demolished.
The ship in which the obelisk will be brought
to New York was expected to go into dock
in few days. An opening will be made in
the bows sufficiently large to admit of the
Introduction of the needle, which will be run
in on cannon balls, and the opening will then
be closed up. 1t was expected that the ship
would be in dock about six weeks, and that
only few days additional time
would be required to complete all
the preparations for her de-
partpre. After the obelisk was launched the
ways were reconstructed and barge hauled
out, on which were placed the pedestal and
foundation stones. The pedestal was on
board the ship at the date of Mr.. Davis let
ter. It weighed forty-four tons, and was
hoisted and lowered by means of derricks.
Mr.. Davis inclosed rough sketch of the
obelisk as it was found on the arrival of the
party, which shows that the earth had sunk
since its erection, and also that the sands Of
the desertHhad covered it up some fifteen feet
by actual measurment. Concerning the Ma
sonic emblems on the needle, about which
there has been 80 much controversy, Mr.. d.
Wis writes as follows:
"The Masonic emblems, about which there
has been so much controversy through the
papers, are, without doubt, genuine. You
Will see that the foundation is composed
of three steps, the mystic number
in Masonry, and inside of these steps
wss found the square, which is of
granite, the same as the oblisk; also, the
perfect asher and the rough asher, they
are granite; the lamb-skin is of the whitest
of marble; the square and perfect asher
are polished; the trowel is perfect in shape,
although rather rusty; the steps are lime
stone, that has evidently been subjected to
volcanic action at some period of the world,
as they are very hard and take fine polish.
Mr.. s. A. Zoia. the Grand Master of the
Grand Lodge of Egypt, says there is no
doubt of their being purely Masonic, and
he is considered the best authority in
