THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Senate DendIock-A Day of Dull Dis
 cussien-Pres1dent Garfield in Accord
 With the Republican PoIicy-No Effort
 to Compromise-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Almost inlmedi ately after the Senate convened the colloquy that has been running on for the last few weeks was resumed and the Senators got to work talking about everything but the real business of the session. After Mir. Harri-, of Tennessee, had availed himself of an sop portunity to deny that Tennessee had ever repudiated a penny of her debt, MT. Dawes said that he was conscious that the public business had been much obstructed by the pendency of the resolution which he had offered, but attributed that obstruction to the action of the minority in resorting to every motion known to parliamentary law to defeat that resolution. This a struggle whether it was the Senate or the min ority of the Senate which was to control public busi- ness He did not care copper whether one officer or another was in office but he desir- ed to have it settled before the country whether this was government of the major ity or not. He wished to make a last appeal to the judgment and the patriotism of the other side not to OVerGnrO" Ine IundamenGal principles of that government in fighting over matter of no more importance than the selection of a couple of officers. A run ming debate ensued, participated in by Messrs. Salisbury, Burnside, Peck, Dawes, Brown and Blair, which..was continued until 4:5O, when the Senate adjourned
 Persons Ihs originate statements tos the effect ths6 the President is opposed to the action ef the Republican Senators, and that he wilIinterfere to break the deadlock, etc., do so entirely upon their own responsibility. The President has repeatedly expressed to Republican Senators his hearty approval of what they are doing. The President express es his opinion freely and says the position of the Republican party in the Senate admits of no change.
 Those among the Republicans who desire 8 caucus have not as yet been able to gather weight enough to accomplish their end, and the question now remains only as a matter of future consideration.
 The continuance of the deadlock in the Senate leaves the Indian bureau in an unfor- tunate condition. There are several impor- tant agencies vacant and large amount of property is in the hands of persons not un- der bonds. This arises out of the fact that an Indian agent does not hold until his sue cessor takes charge, but bis official tenure ceases with his term. The acting Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs himself has an ap- pointment as chief clerk only, MT. Trow-

A Young Girls Sad History.

Young Girls Sad History.
 CONCORD, April 18.-Northfeld, in this county, is greatly excited over a rape and forcible marriage case that has just come to light. The facts, as near as can be ascer- tained, are as follows: Some three or four W eks ago Miss Abbie Collins engaged as a domestic in the family of Joseph J. Prescott. She now ayers that about ten days after she went to work for Prescott he entered her bedroom one night through the window and by threats upon her life ravished her. Two days after that he went to the town clerk of Northfeld procured marriage certificate for her, and 8 worthless fellow named Danforth went to the Methodist minister with them and had them married. She further states that he threatened to kill her unless she con- sented to the marriage with Danforth. As soon as the marriage was consummated Dan forth left town. His whereabouts are un- known. Abbie at once went before the grand jury and procured an indictment against Prescott for rape and he was arrested today and will probably be tried at the present term of the court. Miss Collins is about Is years of age, has heretofore borne an excellent rep utation, is a member of the Congregational church and appears very modest. Proceed ings in her behalf have been instituted for annulIing the marriage with Danforth.
