In the Senate on the 3Oth, Mr.. Mcpherson

Arctic exploring vessel, the Jeannette. Mr..
Dawes, pursuant to notice, addressed the
Senate upon the killing of Big Snake, the
Ponca chief, by United States soldiers in the
office of the agent of the Poncas, in Indian
Territory, criticising with some severity the

to these Indians. Mr.. Logan replied, defend.

Senate then resumed the consideration of the
Indian land in.severalty bill, the question
being on Senator Morgan's amendment to
dispense with the requirement of the assent of
two. thirds of the tribe before lands can be
taken in severalty. After remarks by Sena-

was rejected. The bill was finally laid over,
and the Senate at $50 P. NJ. adjourned.
In the House, number of bills were intro

claimed to have been born in 1880, but the
records show that that interesting event could
not have occurred earlier than 1882 or 1883.
1t is stated as further fact, that since he was
first informed of the proposed hunting up Of
his genealogy, he has been writing letters en-
deavoring to make old residents recall things
that did not occur, in order to establish his
birth in Vermont, but without success. The
developments in the case are so startling and
rest upon such strolg foundation of apparent

THE BERGERS,

The Berger combination of specially art
lists, will give one of their pleasing entertain
ments in the hall of the Female College, this
CThursdayl evening. The fame of this popu'
lar company, now increased to fifteen mem
bers, is too we'll known to require any COM
mendation at our hands. 1t is the fashion
of the press to lavish idle compliment upon
almost every character of travelling troupes,
no matter how commonplace the order of
ability or talent composing the same, but we
are justified in saying that the Bergers have
few equals and no superiors in the South.
They are general favorites wherever they 60,
and in this State especially, which they visit
annually. The Neus and Courier of the 1st
instant, speaking of their last entertainment
in that city, says:

EDITORIAL INKLINGS.
The q. 8. Marshalship.

- Since the rejection by the Senate Of
r. NJ. Wallace as U. s. Marshal for South
Carolina, number of candidates have come
to the 'front.' E. W. M. Mackey informs q
reporter of the Charleston News "that the
candidate for the Office who appears to have
the strongest probability of appointment, is
Sam'l. R. Adams, of Kershaw county. He is
being supported by Chief Justice Waite,
Senators Hampton and Butler and other
high influences, and, above all other consider
tions, he is an Ohio man. He is bitterly op.
posed to the leading Republicans here on
the ground that he is not Republican. Ad-
ans, who has for ten years past been en-.
gagged in the saw.mill business near Camden,
claims that he has always voted the National
Republican ticket and the State Democratic
ticket. '
The candidate who is most strongly favored
by the South Carolina Stalwarts, Mackey
says, is T. B. Johnston. Of Sumter. His ap.
pointment has been recommended by the
Republican State committee, and is backed
up by the leading Republicans of the State.
Johnston has been member of the Legisla-
ture from Sumter and headed the Republican
ticket for Presidential electors at the late
election. He is farmer and said to possess
considerable property.
VIM. Wilson, of Beaufort, is also candi.
date. He has been sheriff Of Beaufort county
forfour terms, and is also said to be man of
means. He is pronounced Republican and
has some supporters among the Republicans
of the State. .
.Absalom Blythe, of Greenville, is a candidate
also. He is lawyer, and was the Republi-
can candidate for Congress from the Fourth
Congressional District. He will receive, it
is said, the support of the Republicans of the
upper portion of the State.
Last, but not least, Tim Hurley is can.
didate. 1t is not known very definitely who
his supporters are, or whether he has much
strength. He is in the lace, however, and is
known to be worker. r. ~
The rejection Of Marshal Wallace meets
with the hearty approval of the South Caro-.
lima Stalwarts, in consequence, as they claim,
Of his absolute failure to discharge his duty
on the day of the last general election.

to Senator Morgan's resolution. 1t resulted,
ayes 80, noes /, (senator Whyte of Mary
land) The Republicans, with the exception
of Senator Conkling, who voted with the
Democrats, refrained from voting. The roll
was then called to ascertain whether a quo.
rum was present, and forty senators respond.
ed to their names There were indications at
this point of protracted session, the Repub-
licans seeming determined to adhere to their
obstruction tactics. Senator Morgan, howev-
er, finally moved to adjourn, and the motion
was carried.
In the House, Mr.. Brigham, of New Jer-
sey, offered a resolution requiring the COM
mittee on elections to report upon contested
election cases within thirty days of the filing
of the papers in such cases. Referred. The
House then resumed the consideration of the
apportionment bill. Mr.. Cox, of New York,
offered an amendment fixing the number Of
Representatives at 307, and it was ordered
printed and to be considered pending. Mr..
Sherwin, of Illinois, member of the census
committee, took the floor upon the bill. He
argued that there was no reason that an ap-
portionment should not be made at this ses
sion, since all the data was in on which to
make the calculation. Comparing the va
rious bills which had been proposed, he show.
ed that with 30l, the number first suggested
by Mr.. Cox, of New York, the Democratic
States would gain eight Representatives and
lose two, net gain of six. The Republican
States would gain ten and lose eight, net
gain of g. With the number selected by the
majority of the committee, 81, the Demo:
cratic States would gain twelve and lose none,
the Republican States would gain ten and
lose four, net gain of six. With 80, the
number recommended by the minority, the
Democratic and Republican States would
each gain thirteen Representatives. He ar
gued in support of the latter bill, contending
that mathematically as we'll as politically, it
meted out exact justice and fairness to every
portion of the country Mr.. Crowley, Of
New York, spoke in opposition to increasing
