the republican party, namely,
partisan abuse in the minority re-
port on this case. That the report
insinuated chat the ex-confederates,
now senator's, could not be trusted,
but loyalty to the constitution, as
understood by republican poll
ticians, was loyalty to the republi,
can party. The party received
with open arms Longstreet, Mosby,
Key and all who would vote the res
publican ticket, and consent to let
the republicans have the spoils Of
Office.
Senator Vest Mo then discussed
the doctrine of res adjudicata, and
in a colloquy with Senator Carpen>
ter, maintained that it was not
applicable to the senate's action.
The constitution required the senate
to see that each state had two
senators. Nothing could debar it
from judging of the qualifications
of its members. The opposite docs
trine would imply that men
wrongfully seated by a partisan
majority could never have
their title questioned, and states
might thus be deprived of their
constitutional representation. He
reviewed the testimony taken by
the committee, commenting upon il
in a very sarcastic and humorous
way. He arraigued the republican
party for the practice of rewarding
political corruptionists with Offices,
his remarks on this point cov-
ering the presidential imbroglio
of 1876. He concluded by
an eloquent statement of the peace
full and Industrious policy Of the
southern states under which pros
perity was returning, and which
gave the lie to republican charges
of bulldozing and an unsettled state
of society. The senate could not
undo wrongs suffered by Louisiana,
but could refuse to perpetuate that
suffered by reason of her misrepreN
sentation in that body.
Senators Beck, Withers and Alli~
son were appointed conferres on

alton bill. The bill providing for a

After an executive session the
senate adjourned.

WASHINGTON, May 4.
Mr.. Orth Gnd made long per-
sonal explanation of his action
regarding the Venezuela claims in
1870, and charged Mr.. Springer
en- with having investigated the
matter without the authority of the
house or the committee on foreign
affairs, and making a report in.
tended to injure his chances in the
campaign for governor of 1ndisne
in 1876.
Mr.. Springer denied all the allie
cations generally and will reply at
length hereafter.
Mr.. Reagan (Texas), of the COM
mittee on commerce, reported the
river and harbor appropriation bill,
and it was ordered printed and re-
committed.
The presidents veto of the i'm
mediate deficiency appropriation
bill was received and read. 1t was
listened to without manifestations of
approval or disapproval.
Mr.. Cobb (Ind. moved its refer
ence to the committee on appropriN
ations, and that the bill lie on the
table.
Mr.. Whitthorne (Tenn moved
its reference to the judiciary COM
mittee. While from a cursory
reading of the message, he felt in-
clined to agree with the reasoning
Of the president as against the pol>
icy of riders, yet he believed the
president had gone step too far,
and involved the privilege Of the
house. He subsequently withdrew
his motion and Cobb's motion was
agreed to.
The effect of leaving the bill on
the table is mainly to postpone its
consideration until the house sees
fit to call it up.
The house then resumed the con-
sideration of the bill amending the
internal revenue laws. The amend
ment striking out the leakage clause
of the bill was rejected. The bill
was then passed; yeas, l33;
nays, 67.
Mr.. Young (Tenn.) introduced a
bill incorporating the Cherokee and
Arkansas river railroad company.
Referred.
Mr.. Hooker miss. asked leave
to report, from the committee on
Indian affairs, a bill transferring
the Indian bureau to the war de-
partment, but Mr.. Conger mich. J
objected.
The house then went into
committee of the whole on the
postoffice appropriation bill. 1t
appropriates $38,676,420, being
81, 294, 500 below the estimates and
S940,O00 above the appropriation
of last year.

crease the appropriation for mail
transportation on railroads $780,

Mr.. Dunnell (Minn moved to

How TO INVITE CAPITAL. APPEAL ha
incubated grand scheme for not only retain
ing the capital fleeing from this coest, but for
inviting an influx of capital from other sec
tions OF the country. Its simplicity commends
itself to the most superficial observer. Let the
Legislatures of California and Nevada pass a
law exempting from taxation all capital of
whatever description, and the thing is done
Capital is great advantage to new country,
and it should be the aim of the people to
mako the stay of every capitalist as oomforta-
BILE as possible. If a law was passed making
1t felony for tradesman to collect a bill
from capitalist, it would BIZ better still. The
Stockton Mad has just discovered that one of
the banks of tn at city has not paid any taxes
tor ten years Possibly the tax collector was
afraid to make any demand fer money under
the Impression that the owners of the bank
would sell the building to some saloon keeper
AMI leave the State next day With the bank
capital. The capital of this coast reminds one
Of the boy who requested teacher not to
spank him on the grounds that he had been

Tie SQUARE LOCATION THEORY.

The United States Land Commission now
submit the following propositions to Congress.
Firs., defined period of time in which to
perfect title by the obtaining of a patent, or
30 abandon location by failure to do SO. Sec
ond, to permit the taking of a certain area OF
mineral land within which the occupier can
only work, thus allowing no right whatever to
go beyond the vertical lines, and third, to pro-
vide some system of mineral land supervision
or inspection, such as demands serious attsn-
ton from legislators and others interested in
this coast denounce the above propositions as
absurd The square location doctrine ema-
Mates from the carbonate blanket regions about
Lsadvile, aud it is now proposed to enact
mining laws for Nevada and California to con-
form with the geographical peculiarities Of
Colorado square location would do for
body of ore which lies PROSTATE like pan
cake, but where the groupings are included IN
the location, the miners must follow the ledge
down at an inclination and strike the main
body of ore several hundred feet to the east.
The New York Mail, however, in discussing
she subject gives the other side as follows:
Under the first proposition the prospector
or locator will be bound to complete title or
abandon the claim. The limit of time is not
yet named, but it certainly should not exceed
two years The United States abandoned i'll
1867 in a spirit of generous encouragement
to labor and enterprise its undoubted SOW
sreignty in the peoples mineral lands, by the
adoption of the present pOssessory right sys
