New YoRE. February sv.-fne case oil
the United States against Samuel ]. Tilden
reappeared to-day in the United States
Circuit Court by the Assistant District At
torney: moving for an attachment to COM
pei the defendant to answer the bill OF dis
coycry order OF November 1, 1870, which
oyerruled his demurrer and directed him
TO answer within 90 days. The time TO
answer expired January 9th, and down to
the present time has not been answered.
Instead, however, November 10, 1879, the
defendant appealed to the Supreme Court
from the order overruling this demurrer.
A motion to-day was made 70 determine
the status OF the case in the Circuit Court,
the doubtful question being whether an
appeal per SO operated as a stay oi the pro,
ceedings in this court. Judge Blatchtord
said he had ransacked English and Amerl;
can books and had not been abe 70 hnd
any authority directly to the point. he
thought the case before him would be
simpliied by the action OF the Supreme
Court on motion 10 dismiss the appeal,
and accordingly ordered that the motion
Ior attachment stand over until the motion
to dismiss the appeal in the Supreme
Court has been decided. The court also
suggested that an effort be made to obtain
the Supreme Courts opinion as to whether
the appeal operates per SO to stay the pro
lteedings In the Circuit Court.

welcome on the part OF the various socie-

At one o'clock he was escorted to the
Chamber Of Commerce by President
Brown, and after being introduced to a
large number Of the members, he was
taken to the Presidents platform, where
he made brief speech. he spoke briefly
Of the suffering in Ireland, saying that
though the British Government gave some
signs OF afording relief, yet all that could
be done in America would be needed to
avert death and bitter suffering. Refer
ring to the prosperous condition o. the
working classes in this country, he said he
thought 1t wise in America TO protest
against the worthless products ot English
looms and 10 avoid some Of the results OF
English colonization. His address was
listened 10 with much interest.

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.


WASHINGTON, February l9.-A singular
spectacle was presented in the House O
Representative to-day when the former
Vice President OF the Southern Confed
eracv was denied an opportunity to make
a speech by the Democratic majority
largely composed OF men who went him
into rebellion, and only secured the floor
through the support OF the whole Repub.
lican side, with the help OF few Demo
Gratis.
When the House resumed consideration
OF the rules Mr.. Stephens asked the privi
lege OF making some remarks, but au
order had previously been adopted CUT
ting of further debate, and Mr.. Blackburn
of Kentucky, protested against allowing
any exception. speer, OF Georgia, made
an appeal that Mr.. Stephens might be
heard, but Blackburn was obdurate. Fl.
nally Conger, OF Michigan, proposed, as
the only way to reach the desired result,
that the House 90 into committee OF the
whole on the state OF the Union, but the
Democrats fought this TO the end, demand.
ing first division Of the House, then a
call Of the yeas and nays. Half dozen
independent Democrats, however, voted
with the Republicans, and Mn e.Ir isS.:. :.
was pivar -rPVituuity 70 mako ms
speech after nearly an hours delay, Mr..
Conger having first delivered some sarcas.
tic remarks on the attitude Of the Demo.
Gratis in refusing SO distinguished repre-
sentative OF the Jacksonian Democracy a
chance to be heard.
MIR. Stephens spoke for nearly half an
hour, taking radical ground against the
whole theory Of attaching riders to ap,
preparation bills, aud securing repeated
applause from the Republican side. The
uouse was hushed to unwonted silence
