Long Discussion Upon the Subject OF
Grants Support-Ths Indians Get q
Little Attention
WASHINGTON, January 2i.-Mr. Har-
ris, from the Committee of the District
OF Columbia, reported favorablv and
asked present consideration OF the
House joint resolution making an ap-
propristion for filling up, draining and
placing in good sanitary condition, the
grounds south OF the Capitol, along the
line OF the o!d canal, and for other pur-
poses. The bill was considered 10y
unanimous consent and passed finally.
Messrs. Wallace and Pendleton pre-
sented memorials, former from the
manufacturers OF textile fabrics in Phil
adelphia, and the latter from the Cincin
natl Board OF Trade and Transportation
in favor OF the Reagan Inter. State Com
merce bill.
Mr.. Garland, from the judiciary Com
mittee, reported the general award bill
Of Mr.. Edmunds adversely, and as
substitute therefor bill on the subject
which is substantially similar to the one
reported by the committee at the last
session. He remarked that the report
was not a unanimous one as two OF the
members OF the committee favored Mr.
Edmunds bill. The substitute was
placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Logan asked the unanimous con-
sent TO take mp the bill to retire Gen
eral Grant. Was objected to.
Mr.. Logan then moyeG 20 lay aside
the priurs and take up the bill.
Mr.. Bayard suggested the pTopriety OF
deferring the consideration OF the prop.
osition in view OF the probability Of an
early action on the general measure to
supply what he regarded as a deficiency
bill providing for pension for our ex-
presidents. He thought that to pension
the single person named could be am
ply covered in general law.
Mr.. Logan said that il was true the
proposition was an exceptional one and
he desired it to be considered, for the
eminent services OF the great Captain
of the loyal legions.of this mighty Re-
public. >.
Mr.. Vest said he had objected to the
consideration n OF the bill on principle,
and he was equally opposed to any leg
islation on the subject OF the kind sug'
gested by Mr.. Bayard. He did not pro-
pose to be dragged to-day into any par
tisan discussion in regard TO the late
war. II he could avoid it, Gen. Grant
would beyond question pass into his
tory as the great general OF that struggle,
he Vest, entertained the greatest ad'
miration for that generals military skill,
and disclaimed any intention TO utter
a word against him politically. TIE
Southern people had in every way
eyinced their admiration o
Grant as SOLDIER, ou'

place provided for him by the
representatives of the people, when hi

life, he vestl held that he should stand
the hazard OF the die. This. therefore.
was no Democratic funeral. 1t belonged
10 the Republican side OF the House to
provide for their wounded and their
dead in the late political conflicts.
When the corpse OF General Grant was
dragged from that bloody arena in the
city Of Chicago, the funeral obse-
quies belonged not to the Democratic
side OF the chamber. We have funerals
enough of our own, laughter. and We
have our own won nded that we are
supposed to take care OF.
Mr.. Logan then talked until the ex.
piration OF the morning hour.
The Senate then took up the Indian
land in severalty bill, the discussion on
which occupied the remainder OF the
day.
Mr.. Vest moved q modification to his
amendment so as to extend the provis-
IONS to twenty-nine tribes and fragments
of tribes moved by the government
upon ceded lands in the Indian Terri
tory. The amendment was agreed to.
Mr.. Hoar offered and advocated the
amendment eonferring all rights OF citl.
zena on an Indian who receives his
lands in severalty under the act.
After debate, participated in by Messrs.

She Attempts to Get q Minister Into
Trouble and is in Return Arrested r.
Perjury.
WASHINGTON, Pa, January 24.-An
attempt to blackmail a minister Of the
Gospel has just come to light, which
may prove quite interesting to the guilty
parties before the matter 10 quieted.
Some time ago James and Samuel White,
brothers, came over from West Virginia
and located in Gilmore township, in the
adjoining county Of Greene. A woman
named Lizzie Andrews accompanied
these men, and lived with James, in the
family OF Samuel. This State OF things
continued with James and Lizzie until
the woman became enciente.
Near where these parties are located
resides the Rev. Thos. B. Smith, gen.
tleman who is considered "well heeled"
as regards worldly possessions. The
woman and her paramours made ar
rangements to set up fat job on the
reverend gentleman; so it was gossiped
about that he had loved, not wisely, but
too well. the creature spoken OF above.
Even this had not the effect OF making
Mr.. Smith "shell out" 30 the lady then
made affidavit as TO her condition be-
fore Justice OF the Peace, attaching
the blame upon the aforesaid gentleman.
She was unfortunate in fixing the date
OF the alleged iidison, for he had no diff.
Guilty in proving that at the specified
time he was attending the Pittsburgh
Exposition.
A change in the proceedings now
came about, for warrant was issued
for the arrest OF the woman, on charge
OF perjury. An officer proceeded to
the house OF the Whites, where he
found Lizzie cutting the hair OF James.
He was in his shirt sleeves, and was
only about half shorD when the officer
approached. Surmising that he was the
object the officer was looking for, he
took French leave, hatless and coatless,
aud made bee line for West Virginia.
While Lizzie was rejoicing that James
had made his escape the officer kindly
took charge OF her, and Immediately
treated her to a sleigh-ride to Waynes-
burg and placed her in the hands OF the
sheriff.
Finding that her plan had not worked
she sent word to Mr.. Smith, asking him
to call and see her, when she will make
"clean breast Of the affair, reveal the
guilty parties and exhonorate him from
the charges"
