SENATE.

/ SENATE.
Washington, Dec. l5.-Coke an
nounced that on Tuesday next he will
ask consideration Of the senate bill pro-
yiding for allotment Of lands in seyeralty
to Indians, and extending the laws of
states and territories over Indians. He
said the bill is thought important by
the interior department.
Brown followed Morrill, in support Of
the bill. lie said that nearly all our
prominent men, from Washington 10
Garfield, had been Of poor parentage,
and had by their thirst for knowledge,
and their industry, worked their way
up to the top. doubtless thousands OF
boys Of equal capacity with those he
had mentioned had remained mute and
inglorious through an absolute impos-
sibility of overcoming unfayorable cir
eumstances and Of obtaining the ne
cessary education TO lift them above the
mass. lie referred to the great advan-
tages enjoyed by New England IN COM
parison with other sections of the
country by reason of her supremacy in
education. She had furnished OF edu-
Gated most Of the men who had con-
trolled our public affairs. The growth
Of Prussia and German predominence
were explicable by the education OF the
whole mass OF people, making every
individual man an intelligent aid TO the
state in war or In peace.
The following bills were introduced:
Hill, Colorado, for the retirement of
small legal tenders.
Pendleton, to regulate and promote
the efficiency of the civil service; also,
against the political assessment of U. S.
officials.
Burnside and Morrill, advocated the
bill devoting part of the proceeds Of
sales of public lands 10 public educa-
tion.
HOUSE.
The following bills were introduced
and reported:
Belford introduced bill for the re-
tirement of small legal tenders; bill
pensioning the widow of late President
Tyler, one hundred dollars per month.
Passed.
Baker reported the fertilization bill,
and the house went into committee to
consider it. Wood agreed to let it
have precedence over the funding bill.
Calkins argued against the amend
ment and suggested that the modernand
effective method of defending the sea
ports was the torpedo system.
Speer argued on the authority of Gen.
Grant, that what was needed was not
more extensive Notifications, but
more powerful ordnance.
The amendment was rejected by n
vote of 81 to 90.
The other amendments offered by
Reagan. Fort and Ellis, were all either
rejected or ruled out.
The committee then rose and report
cd the bill 20 the house and it passed.
'SOh, '%oe4Siaiai mum luc cOLuillt-
tee on Mississippi levees, reported
bill appropriating 81, ,s0o, 900 for the i'm
provement Of the Mississippi river, to
be expended by the direction Of the
secretary of war, in accordance with
the recommendations, specifications and
estimates, and under the advisory su-
pcrvision of the Mississippi river COM
mission. Ordered printed and recon-
mitted.
After the debate, johnson, Virginia,
under direction of the military commit
tee, offered an amendment, increasing
the appropriation from one hundred
thousand 10 half million dollars.

Murder and Sujcide.

DETROIT, Sept. 2O.-A terrible tragedy
occurred at the residence of Andrew Tif-
fany, about two miles west of Janesville.
Hillsdale county, on Saturday afternoon.-
Henry Lindley, hired man in the employ
of Mr.. Tiffany, who is supposed to have
conceived passion for his employers
second daughter, Alice, called on her and
shot her, killing her instantly. Lindley
then blew his own brains out, falling
with the weapon under him. The only
cause known to which the crime can be
attributed is unrequited love. The mur-
dered girl was eighteen years old. She
and Lindley were alone in the house at the
time of the tragedy, the parents being in a
neighboring county visiting the grave of
a dead daughter. On their return home
they found Alice and Lindley both dead
Alice had refused to marry Lindley who
had worked for her father three years.
she, 1t is said, was married to man who
is new in the State prison, and when Lind
ley shot her she was engaged in writing to
her husband. After shooting her it seems
Lindley walked down stairs and ended
his own life as stated.

Convict Life In Auburn.

Gambling, says a Syracuse Courier, is
carried on in Auburn Prison to great
extent. The convicts do not use cards, as
one would suppose-those are too liable to
detection They bet on events, changes
Of the weather, the time Of day, and every
thing Of that character. They also " odd
and even," "hip,' match" troll"
throw for the crack" and the like.
Convicts are not spposed to carry money,
but they do, just the same, and sometimes
considerable, They sew their money up In
their clothing, and it is seldom that 1t is
discovered. Occasionally man will be
found with $40 or $50 in coins in his coat
collar or other parts of his clothing. There
are pawnbrokers and money-lenders.
These criminal Shylocks are more exacting
than the "uncles" of the street. If q
keeper or guard can be "bought," the con-
vcts will pay him good salary right along
10 perform services for them, such as bring
ing in papers, tobacco and edibles and
taking out letters. Some convicts keep up
a regular correspondence with friends out
side.
The New York morning papers reach
Auburn at o'clock in the afternoon, and
the same day the convicts may be found
reading the news of the day "on the sly"
in their cells. How the prisoners secure
newspapers is mystery to many. The
foreman of the shops, or perhaps, the
officers, bring them in. The convicts will
give great deal for New York papers,
and they will have them at any price,
The prisoners keep well posted on the
events ofthe day, and discuss with intel
ligence any subject that is being treated in
the papers. The men are bartering con-
stantly, and some become'possessed of con-
siderable property" which, however
they must at all times keep concealed.
Not so very long ago an enterprising
convict established dstillery in the prison
and engaged in the manufacture of liquor.
lie excavated beneath stone in the floor
of the kitchen, where he was employed,
and set small tube in the hole. With
hops used in making yeast and corn and
barley used in making bread and soup, he
produced potation that would intoxicate.
Drunkenness became quite prevalent and
finally the distillery was discovered and
the moonshiner" was put in the prison
Jail on bread and water. While he ran the
distillery he did we'll and would, in a short
time, have been comparatively wealthy
Beer" as it is called, is made to this day
from bread crusts, but the makers have to
exercise caution. One man had raised
quantity of tomatoes on the window sill of
his shop and sold the crop for a large
sum.

The Laws Delay.

A New York letter says The chow not
to do it" system pervades the law courts
of this city, which are all disgracefully slow
and behind with their work. Civil cases
sometimes linger for years till both plain
tiff and defendant forget all about them or
settle matters amicably out of court. The
courts sit only few hours per day, and
there are adjournments over Saturday and
Sunday, and long, long vacation every
year.
Even when there is rush of business
the death of a petty Judge or superannuat-
cd lawyer whom the public cannot be ex-
Pected to care two cents about is sufficient
to provoke an adjournment over the funer-
a, lon the motion of some counsel anxious
to get off for holiday. 1t would seem
that until the vast arrearages of work are
got through, judges should sit every day
y reasonable number of hours and show the
public and taxpayers that they mean to
earn their big salaries.
Criminal law is little quicker than civil
but still lamentably slow. Murderers taken
Wd-handed lie in the Tombs awaiting trial
until their crimes are forgotten. A bank
burglar sentenced to twenty years in the
State prison over twelve years ago still lies
in the Tombs waiting till the district attor-
