Lancaster Gasette for its recent gross mis-

what is more, they insulted people on

his way home with his team and asked
them very politely to keep quiet. For
reply, they answered him in vile Ian
guage. Some people rushed out of
their buildings, imagining there was a
fire; and these instances can he null
tiplied. We have remedy and pro-
pose to use it in the future if we have
a repetition of this blackguardism.

Free List The Measure Likely to Ex-
perience a Defeat in the House.
WASHINGTON, March 3O-The WAYS and

cotton vas before the committee at the hour of
adjournment. All these propositions have
been added to the bichromate bill, and salt
and steel rails are yet to be acted upon.
The following is an account in detail of the
proceedings of the committee. When the
committee resumed the consideration of the
birchromate of potash bill Mr. Kelley moved
to amend by placing manufactured paper,
wood pulp, jute butts, manufactured flax.

Tilden's Tax Suit Postp oned Till Novem-
bar

Tilden's Tax Suit Postp oned Till Novem-
Der.
NEW YORK, March 30.-A Washing ton
special says that upon the application of Til
denis counsel, the trial Of the Tilden income
tax suit has been postponed until November
next.
The government cannot possibly by this pro-
ceeding, lose any advantage which it may now
possess; and it may gain very important ad-
vantages. Six or eight months ago the gov
eminent fled a bill of discovery to which Mr..
Tilden's counsel demurred. The court below
decided that he was bound to answer the ques.
tons propounded, and his counsel appealed
from this decision to the Supreme Court of
the United States, which has not yet rendered
it's decision. If the case should be tried now
the government would have to forego any adj
vantage which it may expect to derive from
the information to be obtained through the
writ of discovery. If the case be continued to
November the counsel for the government ex-
pect that the Supreme Court will decide in its
favor, and that they will have, in addition to
the evidence now in their possession, the adj
ditional evidence which will be contained in
Mr.. Tilden's answer.
1t follows therefore, that while the post
ponement has been secured on the application
of Tilden's counsel, it cannot in any way
prejudice the case of the government, while it
may strengthen it.

Testimony Printed Which Was Ordered

New YORK. March 30.-A Washington de-
spatch says the testimony in the Kellogg-Spof-
ford case has been printed for the use of the
Senate, and makes a volume of 1900 pages
The Republican members of the committee on
Privileges and Elections were surprised to dis
cover that certain testimony which was or
dered to be stricken from the record is con-
tanned in this printed volume. The testimony
of E. L. Weber was portion of that ordered
to be stricken out Weber was the witness
who testified, when before the Potter commit
tee, that he had come into possession of the
celebrated Sherman letter, written to Ander-
son and Weber, a brother of this witness and
that he destroyed it in order that it might not
reflect upon his brothers memory. Weber was
member OF the Packard legislature and be-
fore the voting for Senator began, went over to
the Nichols legislature in order to prevent
quorum in the Packard body. Weber testified
to having been told by members of the Pack
ard legislature that they had received money
for voting for Kellogg, and that these persons
showed him the rolls of money they had re-
ceived from Kellogg. Weber was to have
been called for cross-examination, but failed
to appear, and the sergeant-at-arms was di-
rected to arrest and bring him before the COM
mittee. Subsequently, however, this order
was rescinded, and Weber's testimony was di-
rected to be stricken from the record. 1t is
probable that attention will be called in the
Senate to this mutilation of the record, and
