1.-THE ENGLIsH BILL

In this stage Of the proceedings,
when the whole country had about
abandoned the hope of q settlement
of the, disagreement between the
two houses, and the angry contest
was likely to be adjourned for fur
ther and protracted agitation before
people already infiamed with sec-
tional animOsities, Mr.. English took
the responsibility of moving to con-
cur in the proposition of the senate
asking for a committee of free con-
ference. The excitement upon the
occasion had scarcely ever been
equaled in the house of representa-

of the people of Indiana that the in

never be trodden under foot. We
do not intend to surrender any of

that the people of the south desire
to trespass upon our rights; if they
did, we should rise up as one man
to resist it, and we would resist it
to the last. While we shall be care
full to protect our own rights, we
shall be equally careful not to tres

in other states. Upon such broad,
national grounds as this we can all
stand and if we do, this cOnfederacy
will continue increasing in prosper

MR.. ENGLISH EXPLAINS THE "ENG-
IIsH BILL
Mr.. English never claimed that
the "English bill'' was entirely as
he wished it. In a speech made
long after its passage, he said:
"It was not TO be expected that a
bill upon subject OF so much mag
nitude, preceded by such intense
excitement, long and heated dez
bates, close votes, and conflicts be-
tween c0-odinate branches Of the
government, could be enacted into
law in a manner satisfactory to all,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 90, 1880

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 90, 1880.
The colossal mind of the average Congress-
man is in an emotional state of disintegration
over, to him, momentous questions: What
shall do to justify myself in the opinion of
my constituents for the folly and imbecility of
my course during the present session of Con-
gress, and how can vote for an early adjourn
ment without doing something for the coun-
try? The mind of a Congressman is generally
we'll regulated, seldom dlstraught with small
things, and osclllates between his salary and
pabulum for his clamorous constituency In the
shape of Agricultural Reports and diseases of
swine with the regularity of pendulum. But
now your NJ. G. is torn up, the isothermal lines
have shifted, the weather Is as hot as it Is
convenient to have it, he has done nothing but
draw his salary with surprising regularity, and
has actually used up what should have been
an important session in frivolous debates over
rules. Nearly three months time has been
spent in querellous fight over rules said
your NJ. c., of course l do not wish to be
understood, as meaning particularly your Con-
gresham, for 1 have no moral doubt but what
he has worked royalty, but mean the one you
opposed, and who, overriding the wishes of
free people, was elected. He is the fellow and
right scurvy shyster he is.
AS have intlmated, Congress wants to ad-
journ badly, but at present has not found
sufficient excuse for concurrent vote, as the
Chicago Convention will undoubtedly nomi-
nate some person who will be dlstasteful to the
Democrats, they will undoubtedly after the
Convention, desire to prolong the session for
partlzan purposes, while the Republicans, if
the Democrats do as 1 have indicated, will
allow no adjournment until sometime after the
Cincinnati Convention, as 1t is just possible,
that the Democrats will nominate some one
who cannot be supported by Republicans. The
early adjournment idea has been fostered by
two highly respectable "dark horses" Garfield
and Randall, both of whom have evinced con-
siderable solicitude for the liberties of the
people, in the shape of protective tariff laws,
and have thus far only been defeated by q
combination of Congressman who are interest
ed in appropriations for public buildings, and
who were antagonized by the Appropriation
Committee, which latter Committee arrogatcs
to itself the full powers of Congress.
Decoration day is being fully observed, by a
general suspension of all business, and the
usual ceremonies at Arlington Cemetery where
thirteen thousand of our country's defenders

murmuring and beautiful Potomac.

The Great Lockout in Pitts hurah.

PITTSBURGH, June 2.-The iron mills
of Western Pennsylvania are generally
closed today. There are about $50 boil
ing furnaces, and the $50 in this imme-
diate vicinity went out, and the lockout
began yesterday. The agreement be-
tween masters and men expired June l.,
the failure of the former to concede to
the advance demanded for pudding
caused the shut down. The total num-
Der of laborers thus thrown out of en-
ployment, including miners, will not
fall far short of $4,000. Only one mill
in this city has signed the scale proposed
by the Amalgamated Iron Association.
Elsewhere in this district there have
signed Brown, ,Bonnell & Co. of Youngs-
town, Ohio; Beaver Falls Rolling Mill
Co., Beaver Falls, Pa; Bradley, Refs &
Co., and the Shenango Iron Company,
Of Newcastle, Pa, and the United States
Tin Plate Company, of McKeesport, Pa.
Thus far the indications seem favorable
to the puddlers, but it is by no means
certain that there will be speedy re-
sumption of business.

A Cruel Stepfather.


Thomas Crowl, of Beaver county, was
discharged with his regiment from the
United States service at the close of the
war, in 1865. He had served three years
in the army, and participated in most
of the great battles, escaping without a
wound. While on the railroad on his
way home, collision occurred. He
was killed He left a wife and two
small children. The widow subsequent
ly married Jared Williams. The step
father was abusive to the children
Three years ago one of them, a girl IS
years old, was turned out of doors by
him, after being beaten. She drowned
herself in q stream near by. The other
child was son, named Peter. He was
so badly treated by his stepfather that
he quit home and obtained o situation.
Williams carried his persecution of the
boy to his place of employment. Two
weeks ago he succeeded in having Peter
discharged from his place. The boy re-
turned home and bade his mother good
by. On Sunday morning he was fonnd
dead in barn half mile away. He
had shot himself through the heart.

Republican National Convention.

The action of the Convention which
convened in Chicago on Wednesday last
was eagerly awaited. AS early as Mon
day the number of delegates and other
politicians in Chicago was very large.
The struggle of the different factions for
control of the Convention in the forma-
ton of committees was bitter in the ex-
treme, but finally resulted in the selec-
ton of Hon. Geo. f. Hoar of Massachu-
sets for temporary chairman. This
was victory for the Anti-Grant men.
The effect of this was to give better
show to the Blaine men who were opposed
to the enforcement of the unit rule, and
had the Grant men succeeded in getting
the chairman, they would have attempt
ed to enforce that rule, without giving
the convention chance to vote on it as
individual members.
In the permanent organization the
Anti Grant men were successful, and
Mr.. Hoar was retained as chairman.
The entire week until late on Saturday,
was used in preliminary proceedings
and skirmishing upon reports of COM
mittees on rules and credentials. In
this matter too the Grant men lost, and
the chances are that Grants entire
strength in Convention is less than 800,
and that neither him or Blaine will get
the nomination, though the Sherman
men by throwing their strength to
Blaine could nominate him. 1t is prob
able however that some other name will
be taken up to harmonize matters, and
Edmunds seems to have the best show.
Balloting is to commence to-day.

board machine. Bearing on trifle too
hard, the crank broke, and he fell over
on the auger, which is operated by
steam power, and, of course kept on as
if nothing had happened. His clothing
was caught by the auger, which wound
the cloth around itself until it came in
contact with his watch, boring hole
into it, tearing out the works and then
breaking off, which released Tiffany.

would have gone on and bored hole
right through him, there having been

without avail, no traces of her where

thought that she had returned to her
home at Allentown, but this was mis-
