The revised census returns show a total Of
IS, $50, 588 males and "a, 1872, 2S4 females in
this country, an excess of 298,29o males
over females, and total of SO, 152, 500. New
York has $500, 283 males and 2,577, 527 fe-
males. All the States along the Atlantic
coast, except Delaware and Florida, contain
more females than males. Alabama, Louis
lana, and Tennessee also show an excess Of
females. All the other States have an excess
ofmales. But Maine is very equally divided,
it having 1924, 084 males and 1924, 961 females.
The most marked cases of the excess Of males
is in the Territories and the newer States of
the West.
A violent quarrel is said to have broken
cut in the imperial family of Russia. When
the Grand Duke Constantine, the hero Of the
diamond stealing story, applied for permits
sion to pay his respects to the remains Of the
late Gar, he received from Alexander III an
open telegram addressed "To him who is
unworthy the name of Grand Duke" brand
ing him as a disgrace to his family and Rus
STA, and ordering him to remain away from
the capital. Consequently, it is said, Con-
stantine will resign bis post of Grand Admir-
al Of the Navy and Minister of Marine in IA
vor of Alexis. In addition to his other i'm
perfections, Constantine is strongly suspect
ed Of Nihilism.

a P1ucky Girl.

A certain Marquis in Rome, much smitten
with the charms Of Marie Vanzandt, the
American prima donna, arranged with the
driver of her cab to take the little lady, after
the evenings performance, to q restaurant
where he and q half-dozen boon companions
would be waiting. Marie was with her mother
and when they we're driven to the appointed
rendezvoussMme. Vanzandt was totally un-
nerved with amazement and alarm, but her
spiritedslttle daughter was quite equal TO the
situation. "How dared you bring me here?:"
she cried, turning to the cabman. MAIDEN
o%lselle, I had myEordera, was theJ sulky re-
ply. Then she turned upon the group Of
DANES, told them til ey were q pack Of COW
ards to dare to insult a woman, and spring.
ing into the cab, she ordered the driver to take
her home, and to dare TO take her elsewhere
than the address she gave him at his peril.
One Of the young men present attempted
some explanation or apology, bat she would
not listen. Arrived at home, she took the
number of the cab, and the next day lodged
complaint with the project Of police. Ameri-
can womanhood is at q premium in the Eter-
nal City.

ity vote to the Senate, and no matter how
the Republican senators may feel, they would
carry discord into their ranks at this time,
when harmony is necessary, BY voting to
take up Robertson's nomination in spite Of
the Commerce Committee. Hence the prob
able action of the caucus when it is held
will be to agree upon a list Of Objectionable
nominations, including the most important,
and have an executive session for conirma-
ton.
Should the Senate session last through the
summer the Democrats consider that they
have got the advantage Of Malone in open
ing and conducting the campaign in Virginia
because no Democrats will pair with him.
In Democratic circles it is held that his vote
cannot be paired, and therefore he cannot
enter the Virginia campaign in person unless
he breaks the Republican majority. All evi-
dence goes to show that ever if an executive
session should be provided for, the fight will
be continued, IS the Republicans intend to
hold their control Of business.

The Senate Dead sLOck.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The outlook for
an early break in the Senate deadlock is
considerably less promising than it was a
few days ago, and it seems to be now gener-
ally conceded that if the Republican caucus
shall next week determine to allow one or
more executive sessions to be held, it will be
with the fixed purpose of holding the bust
ness entirely in Republican hands. The first
stepii il the proper order Of business if this
course be adopted, will be to refer the pend
ing nominations. Then, the committees be-
ing under the control Of the Republicans, will
report back such as they deem important to
have confirmed Immediately, and after they
are disposed of the Republicans can renew
their present effort to elect the Senate Off
GERS. 1t must be said, however, that this
suggested programme does not as yet find
favor with more than q few members Of the
caucus, and the time is apparently not ripe
for its adoption.

PUEBLO, Col, April 14-The Denver &
Rio Grande railroad company begun the
work of laying the third rail between Denver
and Pueblo. This will give Denver another

East, West and South, via the Topeka s.
Santa Fe lines. The prospective Denver s

rassed BY this, as it is precluded from any in
terchange Of business at its intersection at La
Junta with the Atchison, Topeka s. Santa

ment. and IFS route in Colorado can furnish
no local traffic, as it is across uninhabited
plains far east of the mining districts which
supply business. The proposed scheme is
here regarded as chimerical.

VENNOR ON APRTL
The Weather Mapped out for Another
Month.

Mr.. Fl. G. Vennor, the Canadian weather
prophet, makes the following weather pre-
dictions for April: "There will be a sharp
frost in the beginning Of April, with a snow
fall IN the 4th or 9Th, but the spring will
open faVorably, and everything will be pretty
well advanced by April IS. Floods may be
expected in Chicago about the first week in
April, with high winds also prevailing in the
early part Of the month. Snow falls are
probable about April 5th. Navigation is
likely to open on Lake Ontario about April
7th. There will be warm weather Just follow
ing the goth, ending in thunder storms on the
9th and 25th. Snow storms are probable in
the Far West on the 25th and 26th, and snow
falls are not unlikely to occur in England at
the close of the month. The month will end
wet and cold, but on the whole will be like a
MAY day.

THE RECENT FLOOD.

YANKToN, April 14.-The river is station
airy. Those who were droWed out are flock
ing hither and getting government rations
and aid. Two thousand five hundred need
aid here, and five thousand below Vermillion.
The flood on the Dakota side covers 267, 600
acres, and the whole region was being thick
ly settled.
Yankton was damaged only On the Ievee,
where there has been a great deal Of destruc-
ton to steamboats, and warehouses.
Captains Lavender and Noble have re-
turned from q four days cruise over the bot
toms, having saved 420 people. They have
worked night and day with personal peril
amid the floating ice, and deserve the heart
felt thanks they get. Probably not over six
lives have been lost by the flood, and the
great disaster is shorn of the horrors of the
loss of life by the heroic efforts of our citi-
Zens.
Rock ISLAND, April 14.-The city is still
trembling lest the flood from the gorge bring
great disaster. The water is twelve inches
deep il some parts of the city now. A very
little change in the height Of the river would
cause an immense destruction Of property.

DENVER, April 14.-The Republican has
advices from Durango that Ike Stockton
and gang, nearly all of whom participated In
the Lincoln county, New Mexico, troubles
several years sgo, are sending raiding parties
toward Pennington, Rio Arabia county,
New Mexico, to steal cattle and kill COW
boys. A few days ago they drove thirty-fve
head Of cattle into Durango, where they
butchered and sold them. The town is in q
state of excitement bordering on anarchy and
is growing worse every day. The citizens
dare not write an impartial statement of af-
fairs to the papers for fear of death. A Den
yer newspaper man, who was suspected of
writing an account for the Denver papers,
was stopped on the street q few days ago at
the point Of q revolver by Ike Stockton. Six
marshals are on duty, but are unable to cope
with the outlaws.

CouklIng:sSFigEas AgaInst the President.

WASHINGTON, April 14-The report that
Senator Conkling and bis friends have aban-
doned all hope of procuring the withdrawal
of judy e Robertson's nomination is errone
Gus, but it can be stated on unquestionabLe
authority that he has fully made up his mind
to declare war on the President at an early
day in open Senate, in case the nomination
be not withdrawn. His speech in this event
would OF course be directed, in the first
place, to the pending controversy concerning
the Senate officers, but could really be turned
into any channel he desired. He will, it is
said, elaborately discuss what is known as
the Courtesy of the Senate, Tits signal scope
and usefulness, and will give to the country,
without equivocation or co%ncealment, all the
facts, antecedents and circumstances con-
nected with the nomination Of Robertson,
and the whole history from his standpoint Of
the quarrel between the New York stalWarts
and their opponents, both in and out Of
Office. Intimate friends of Conkling say
that he fully appreciates the magnitude of
odds in favor Of the confirmation OF this
nomination, if it be persisted in by the adj
ministration, and he much perfers that it
should be withdrawn, both for his own sake
and in the interest Of party harmony, but it
is equally clear to his own mind that he can.
not afford to shirk what he considers an in
vitation to measure swords, and If the chal-
lenge be maintained he is determined to make
the fercest and most effective attack upon
can inspire.
It is understood that Conkling is not
averse to an executive session for the con-
frmation Of such nominations as are not OBJ
jectionable. It has been given out and re-
peated over and over again that he keeps the
deadlock fastened because he is afraid that
Robertson case might come up if an execu-
tive session were held. This has the effect
of putting on his shoulders a greater share OF
the responsibility for the deadlock than any
other senator. It is claimed for him that he
has no fear ofan executive session, because
i is certain thai 9 majority and probably al
Of the Committee Of Commerce will sustain
him in his opposition to Robertson. At least
two Democratic members of that committee
are with him in agreeing to hold back ROD
ertson's nomination until the next session.
The only way by which the nomination can
be taken from the committee is for the

Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1881-10-14

Senator Bayard, q Democrat, being the
next successor to the Office of President of
the United States, is fortunate in one re-
spect; that all the Republican assassins
who wish to murder another President in
order to make the way clear to peace in
their own party will stop here. The drift
of the Stalwart denuEciations of the Presi-
dent were all one way. but those who ut
tered them will hardly be insane enough
to urge another maniac to make way for
Democratic President. There was too
much method in the assassination of Gar
field to admit of the thought that after
the end had been attained there would be
another attempt to undo it. The country
is safe as long as the Republican lunatics
are kept in check by the knowledge that
Democratic President will be the sue
cessor.

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE y, S.
SENATE,

The extra session of the U. s. Senate
was organized, last week, in manner
strictly conforming to the spirit and
regulations of the United States Consti-
tuition. We are glad to see that the Dem
ocratic Senators did not delay the admis-
sion of the New York Republican Sena-
tors, though there were petitions of Dem
ocratic members of the New York legis-
lature, charging that, through fraud of
one kind, and bribery of another, they
were not entitled to their seats. How diffe-
rent all this was from when the Republican
oligarchy, so to speak, was in control, may
be inferred from the proceedings of the
Senate which assembled on the 4th of
March, 1867. On the 18th Of that month
Mr.. Reverdy johnson, of Maryland, pre-
sented the credentials Of his COLLEAGUE ex-
GOV Philip F. Thomas, and after the re-
marks which we give below Mr.. Thomas
was refused admission and his credentials
were referred to committee:
''Mr. HOWARD, of Michigan-I have no objection
to the reading of these credentials but desire to
make motion that they be referred to the Com
mittee of the Judiciary.
INF JoHNsoN-I should like to know the reason
which influences the honorable member to depart in
this case from what has been from the first the
almost universal usage OF the Senate, to rece i've the
Senator elect upon his credentials.
hope to be excused for availing myself of this
sion to say that in point of loyalty to the Govern
ment now, the honorable member who has been
chosen by the Legislature of Maryland to represent
her in this body is just as sound as am, or as any
member of this body.
INF HowARD-It is matter of common rumor
that the gentleman who is now the applicant SYM
pathized warmly with the rebels during the late
civil war; One rumor v hich has reached my ear IS
that he performed an act tending to give aid and
comfort to the rebels during the existence of the
beon. OF course shall not vOuch for the truth OF
these rllmors At all events, whatever
may be the truth, submit that it is entirely fitting
and proper that this matter should be Investigated
by the committee both in reference to the Senate OF
which he proposes to become member, and espec-
tally in reference to himself. Surely think if
labored under such rumors should be willing, nay
anxious, that the proper committee of the body
should inquire into their truth before offered to
take the oath and to participate in the legislation OF
