New YORK, Feb. 25.-The Times Wash
ington special says: Bedford of Colorado
will offer in the House tomorrow the fol-
lowing: Resolved, That the Attorney
General and Commissions Of Internal
Revenue are hereby requested TO inform
this House what suits are now pending in
the United States Circuit and District
Courts, for the Southern District Of New
York, against the New York and Harlem
Railroad, the New York Central and Hud-
SON River Railroad, the New York and
Erie Railway, the Central Pacific Railway,
and against any other railway corporation,
together with the nature of such suits, and
mounts involved in such litigation re-
spectively.
Bedford says in support Of this resolu-
ton, that it is generally understood that
in the suit against the New York and Har-
lem Railroad, now pending in the South
ern District OF New York, the United
States is trying to collect about $40, 600
alleged to be due on Internal Revenue
taxes ; that there is a suit in that District
against the New York Central and Hud-
SON River Railroad, for the collection of
Internal Revenue taxes, amounting to
about $137, 900, and that VIM. II. Wander
bilt ia q great owner in these two railroads.
There is also a suit pending in the Dis
trict Court against the Central Railroad,
which was recently begun by order Of the
Attorney General, to restrain the payment
Of thet three per cent dividend on the stock
Of that company, in order to protect the
United States against loss upon its ad-
vances made on account of interest on the
bonds, with which the road was subsidized
and built. He also says that r. B. Hayes
has recently nominated for District Attor-
ney for the Southern District of New York
Elliott F. Shepard, a son-in-law of VIM.
H. Vanderbilt, and that Shepard, as such
District Attorney, would have charge of all
this important litigation. Bedford, in be-
half of the farmers, producers and for
warders of the West, and in behalf of the
people Of the whole country, who are be-
coming aroused against these enormous
combinations Of railroad and other inter-
ests, desires to have the facts called for by
his resolution placed before Congress, SO
that the representatives of the people may
better be able to judge whether it is expe-
dent to place the Governments interests
in this railway litigation in the hands of
relatives and friends of the defendants.

BUFFALO, Feb. pa special to the
Times relates the discovery of gold and
silver quartz lodges in the town Of Ham
burg, nine miles from Buffalo, which ap-
pears well authenticated The names of
several prominent men at that station are
given in connection with it. The ledge
was discovered last August. Pieces of the
rock have been su bjected to a careful
assay, and yielded 81 $50 to the ton. Min
ing operstions were commenced last Octo-
Der under the superintendent Of Charles
R. Reeves. formerly Of Cuba, and excava-
tions reveal a sunken ledge with an over
hanging wall on one side. The latest as

organized, embracing Theodore and
James Austed, John Anseth, of the firm of

pan, q prominent builder, and l.. A.
Banks. The most surprising and start
ling thing connected with the. whole mat
ter 10 that gold and silver bearing quartz
should make it's appearance where the geo.
logical condition of the country would
seem to contradict the possibility Of its
existence.

Body to be Cremated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Senator Carpen-
ter's funeral takes place at 8 O'Clock P. M.
on Sunday, and after the Inauguration the
body will be taken by q Congressional
committee to Wisconsin.
The death Of Senator Carpenter makes it
impossible for the Republicans to organize
the next Senate. Senator Carpenters
health has been failing for about two years
past. Several times he has been down.
with no expectation Of recovery, but his
naturally strong copstitution enabled him
to rally from these attacks. He has been
almost q wreck for the past six months.
Though his disease was caused directly by
Brights disease Of the kidneys, there was
. general dissolution Of the vital energies. |
On Wednesday afternoon he had improved
considerably, and 1t was expected that he
might again be able to get about, but dur
ing the night, however, he grew worse, and |
IT was known he could not live. Last Fri |
day he was out in his carriage and called
upon Mr.. Hayes and ut several of the De-
partments. He went to bed next day and
never rose again. His body will be Gre
mated in accordance with his wishes.

ganization Of the next Senate Immediately

David Davis viii vote with them, for the
Wisconsin Legislature can not Constitu.
fill the vacancy prior to the second
Tuesday after receiving notice from the
Governor Of its existence. Hence no cleo.
ton can take place before March 9Th. and Il
will probably be delayed beyond that date.
As q number OF powerful competitors for the
vacancy are already in the field. philetus
who has been elected to succeed
Senator Angus Cameron, comes from East
srn Wisconsin and the western portion of
the State will now claim the right to furn-
lsh q successor to Carpenter. Among the
most prominent candidates are ex-senator
Howe, Boss Reyes, Governor Pound and
Senator Cameron, whose present
