KonrneY I'm Prison AttIro.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19.--In the Police
court this u. IN. the prosecuting attorney asked
the commitment of Denis Kearncy. The lat.
tor was not present at the time, but few
minutes appeared with his counsel, who
asked delay to enable him to apply to tho Su-
preme Court for u writ of habeas corpus. The
court denied the request as unusual and ex.
traordinary. The commitment was then made
out and Kearney, evidently greatly depressed
and chagrined, was taken below. In few
minutes he was removed to hack and driven
to the House of Correction, where, after going
through the hands of barber and donning
convict's garb, he was placed in cell. As
Kearney loft the courtroom he asked the
judge if the commitment contained any refer
ence to the provision of the now constitution
fixing eight hours rs days labor The judge
replied that the superintendent of the House
of Correction would see that he had sufficient
work to do, and not too much. Iii counsel
will apply for writ of haboas corpus, but it
is not expected to avail the prisoner anything

Pacific Railroad BIlIs.

The Senate Committee on Railroads yes.
terday decided by vote Of against to
recommend tho passage Of bill to extend
the time for tho completion of the Northern
Pacific railroad six years. The measure that
will be reported is Senator WindOms bill
amended on his own motion so as to mako
the time of extension six years, instead of ten,
and to provide, in accordance with the policy
already adopted by the company, that the
agricultural lands within the odd-numborod
sections shall be sold TO actual settlers at not
exceeding $3.50 per acre. Another amend.
mont will provide that the title to the lands
thus sold by tho company shall bo conveyed
directly from tho Government, but the
amendment is to bo 80 framed that this ro.
qurement shall not Interfere with the COM
panys arrangements for exchanging lands
for its bonds and preferred stock.
Tho formulation Of the amendments agreed
upon may delay tho report to tho Senate for
u day or two. The vote by which the amend.
ed bill was ordered to be reported is as fol-
lows; s-Alcssrs, Ransom, Lamar, Grover,
Window, Dawes, Teller and saunders-T
Nays-Mcssrs. Eaton, Pendlotou, Williams
aud JOnas-4.
After disposing of the Northern Pacific bill
tho committee took up Senator Garland's bill
to extend the time for the completion of the
Texas Pacific railroad ten years, and adopted
amendments making its terms substantially
identical with those Of the amended North
ern Pacific bill.
A motion was then ordered that the Texas
Pacific bill as thus amended be reported back
for the action of the Senate and placed upon
tho calendar without recommendation either
way, This motion was carried by majority
of one vote, but several members OF the com.
mittee say tho order will probably be changed
to II positive recommendation in favor of the
bill beiOreitis is actually reported to tho Senate.

sisted in the collection of war claims and the
drafting OF important bills for speedy legisla-
ton, and great deal of General Arthui's time
was spent in Albany and Washington, where
his uniform success won him a national repu-
tstion. For short time he held the position
OF counsel to the board o: tax commissioners
Of this city, at $4,000 per annum. Gradually
he was drawn into the arena OF politics. He
nominated and, by his efforts, elected the Hon.
Thomas Murphy State Senator. When the
latter resigned the collectorship OF the port on
Nov. 20, 1871, President Grant nominated Gen.
Arthur TO the vacant position, and four years
later, when his term expired, renominated him,
an honor that had never been shown to any
previous collector in the history OF the port
He was removed by President Hayes on July
IL, 1878, despite the fact that two special COM
mistees made searching investigation into his
administration, and both reported themselves
unsble to find anything upon which to base
charge against him. In their pronunciamentos
announcing the change, both President Hayes
and Secretary Sherman bore official witness to
the purity OF bis acts while in Office. A petition
for his retention was signed by every Judge Of
every court in the city, by all the prominent
members OF the bar, and by nearly every inn
porting merchant in the collection district, but
this Gen. Arthur himself suppressed

the work OF one OF the investigating commit
tees, Gen. Arthur produced statistics to show

average OF about "a per cent. since 1887. OF the
923 persons in Office prior to his appointment,
53l were still retained on May !, 1877. All APP
pointments except to the 100 positions COM
handing salaries of $4,000 per year were made
on the plan OF advancing men from the lower
to the higher grade on the Recommendation OF
heads of bureaus. The reforms which General
Arthur Instituted in the methods OF doing bust
ness IN the custom house were as numerous as.
they were grateful to the mercantile commune

Republican politics OF the State, being Chair

l The True Norherner commenced no per
sonaI attack upon the editor of that paper. 1t
simply called attention to the editors political
tortuoasuess in the past, which was simply in
tended as an excuse or extenusuon for his
present unreasonable violence OF assertion and
vindictiveness against the Republican cand-
dates. It i we'll established axiom that rem
egades in politics or in religion are more VIC
lent IN their denunciatons than those whose
opposiuon are founded on candid conviction.
3 That they have bigger men to discuss
than the editor OF the Courier is easily per-
ceived but we fail to see how that fact applies
to US. What is true in his case is very likely to
De otherwise in every other.
