FORTY-SBYgNTH CONGRESS.
HOUSE.

WAsHINGToN, April Z.
Mr.. Ellis, of Louisiana, presented q me-
mortal of the mayor and several commercial
bodies of New Orleans praying for congress
.sional action on the Mississippi levee bill.
Referred.
On motion of Mr.. Randall, of Pa, q bill
was passed relieving from the charge of de-
sertion soldiers in the volunteer service dur
ing the late war, on proof that they served
faithfully until the expiration of their term
of enlistment. or until the first of May. 1865.
but who failed to be mustered out. and re-
ceived an honorable discharge.
Mr.. Blackburn, of Kentucky, offered a
resolution directing the committee on expen-
ditures in the war department., to inquire if
any abuses exist or have existed in the adJu-
dication Of claims in the quartermaster gen.
erals, cOmmissary generals and third audi
tors offices, and report their findings to-
gether with such recomme ndations as it NAV
deem proper for the settlement of all such
claims.
Mr.. Robson, of New Jersey, offered as a
substitute similar resolution, but with a
preamble reciting that it had been asserted
on the floor of the House, by a member, that
he had evidence in his possession, which
showed that certain government clerks had
acted fraudulently and corruptly.
Mr.. RObeson advocated his substitute de-
claring that he was not willing to order All
investigation on mere idle rumor, but after
debate he modified his preamble so AS to
read, Whereas it has been publicly declared
by a member of this House and on this floor,
there are reasonable grounds to believe, etc.
This was accepted by Mr.. Blackburn as an
amendment to his resolution. which there
upon was adopted.
The House, at 2.05, went into committee
of the whole on the tariff commission bill.
MIR. Haskell advocated the passage of the
bill, and made an exhaustive argument in
support of protective system.
The committee at 4.30 rose, and the House
took recess until 7.3o, the evening session
being for the consideration of the pension
bills.
But few members were present when the
House met at 7.30, and after the passage OF
II pension bills the House adjourned.

THE APPOINTMENTS.
The Comments of the New York Press
Upon Them.

New YORK. April Z.
The Herald says Of the new cabinet ap-
pointments, that they demonstrate the fact
that the President is a practical politician.
The World says the nomination of Teller
is a peculiarly fit one, and the country will
forgive much of the mischief that Chandler
has done, if he succeeds in giving US navy.
The Sun saws if Chandler is confirmed
there will be no stealing in the navy depart
ment without his knowledge.
The Times saws, should the railroad afilia-
tions of Senator Teller, mould his admins
tration OF the interior department adversely
to the public interests, or the reputation as a
jobber enjoyed by Mr.. Chandler be yindi-
Gated in the navy department, the navy is
likely to suffer more from it than President
Arthur.
The Tribune says of Chandler, that with
anything like a fair chance, We predict for
him a successful and honorable career in the
navy department. OfTeller, it says as he
has no known political skill. it is difficult to
see what sort of strength he is expected to
bring to the Cabinet. or why the representa-
tive of the banner republican State of the
Union should be put out to make room for
him.

The Party Lash Being Cracked
over Members Of the Bar.

The attempt Of the Argus to gig the
their opinion in favor Of the reappoint-
ment of Judge Libbey, is bold move
ment against the right of free speech and
opinion, which the Bar we doubt not will
keenly feel and resent. OF all men the
members of the Bar are most interested in
the preservation of the independence of the
Judiciary of the State. 1t is peculiarly
their right to express their opinions when
changes are proposed in the Bench. They
are presumed to know the qualifications
of men named for Judges better than peo-
pie outside of their profession. They de-
sire upright and learned Judges, and es-
pecially such as are Independent in spirit
and not the tools Of the appointing power.
Judge Libbey was and is democrat. In
a crisis of great importance to the State
he pursued a course which does not meet
the appreciation of Governor Plaisted. 1t
ought to be infinitely to his credit that at
such time he was able to rise above
party associations and preiudIces and act
the part of an independent, honest Judge.
But for this. Governor Plaisted determined
not to reappont him. making his re-
lection serve As a disgrace and punish
ment for having done his duty manfully.
And it is in order to aid Governor Plaisted
in his despotic. unjust. unfair, unmanly
course towards Judge Libbey, that
the Argus cracks its partisan whip
over the heads of the democratic
members of the bar. and expects
them to crouch at the feet of Gov
ernor Plaisted in abject submission and
aid him to carry out his unrighteous and
despicable purpose. We shall see wheth
er there are any members of the Bar
that will submit to the gag and the lash
that is being tried upon them. Members
of the Bar have a right to an expression
Of their opinion free from the party lash.
and we trust they will assert it.

EXPLOSION.
The Boiler of "a Steamer ExplOdes-One
Man Killed.

Lacrosse, Wis, April I.
Early this morning the boiler on the steam
er Belle Mac exploded near Brownsville, a
few miles below this city. The explosion
completely wrecked the upper works of the
steamer, causing loss of life and fearful in
jury to many of the officers and the crew.
The crew consisted of z men including the
officers. OF these five are missing, one dead
and three probably fatally injured. The re-
mainder are more or less hurt. After the ac-
cident all was dark and cries of men for help
from on board and in the water were heart
rendering. The Bella Mac was comparative
~ a new boat. this being the third year of
service, and she has been considered perfect
ly safe. The cause of the disaster cannot be
learned. The second engineer says the boiler
had plenty of water and at the time of the
explosion he was carry ing about 1856 pound.

The Dix Island Government
PrOOerty.

The Rockland Free Press throws good
deal of light upon the report which has
been going the rounds of the press in re-
gard to the sale of government property
ut Dix Island. BY the report the public
would be led to believe that the govern
ment was grossly defrauded in the sale !;
that none or but little notice of the pro-
posed sale was given. and that a large
amount of valuable property was sold by
collision, as it would appear, to Mr.. c. p.
Dixon of New York. for but trifie of its
value. The Free Press says that the sale
was not obscure. but well advertised in all
the daily papers of Portland and Bangor,
and two papers in Roekland. The Free
Press then copies from the report and
adds statement of facts which places the
transaction in very different light from
what it wore upon its first appearance in
the papers. The Free Press says:
So much for the charge that the sale was
insuficiently advertised.
The same report further says
'Soon after portion Of the plant resold to
the government for ESQ oo the granite to be used for
the Philadelphia postofice. Supervising Architect
Mullett directed Bingham TO pay the ESQ., 90 to G. r.
Dixon, which he did. When the amount came to be
audited at the Treasury Department the original
sale Was declared irregular, and Comptroller Taylor
refused TO pass the bill After laying for five years
demand has been made upon Bingham TO settle his
accounts. which he refuses TO do unless Mullett
imbursee him for the sum expended The Dix Island
company afterward sold another part Of the plant
for some New York interior state buildings, and
cleared over on what cost 500. The matter
is to be ventilated"
The foregoing extract conveys the impress
sion that certain granite was bought with the
plant aud resold to the government. There
was no granite in the case. Supervising
Architect Mullett did not direct Mr.. Bing-
ham to paw the consideration for tools, ma
terials, &c.,-ststed above at $50, 000-to Mr..
Dixon, but it was paid upon the order of SUI
pervising Architect Potter, after the sale had
been inquired into by the Solicitor of the
Treasury, and its validity confirmed. In
this opinion of the Solicitor, Secretary Bris-
tow concurred. Whatever laundering or
mistakes may be disclosed in reference to
the sale, an investigation will establish the
fact that there was no corruption connected
with it. Mr.. Mullett did his best to overturn
il. 90 did Mr.. Potter, and afterwards Secre-
tary Sherman was disposed to try his hand
ct it, but soon found it was useless. The
auction itself was not by proposals, but BY
public bids. The property was set up in
lots convenient for purchasers, and though
there was some competition and a free
and fair opportunity for all bidders,
Mr.. Dixon purchased the whole. We our
selves happened to be of the number who bid.

OREGON DEMOCRATIC
Convention Condemn the Veto of the
Chinese Bill.

SAN Francisco, April Z.
The Oregon democratic convention adopted
resolutions demanding Legislative regulation
of railroad tariff reform, attributing the as
sassination of Garfield to the spoils system,
denouncing polygamy, favoring a repeal of
the navigation laws. The resolution on the
Chinese question is as follows:
That the Presidents veto of the Chinese
immigration bill is public misfortune. 1t
sets degrading mark of competition with
the coolies from China, upon the labor and
workingmen of America. 1t treats with con-
temptuous derision the unanimous protests
and appeals of the entire Pacific coast. On
behalf of the people of Oregon we disapprove
and condemn it, and declare it to be the duty
of every citizen, regardless of party. to ex-
press his disapproval with his vote as we'll as
with his voice.

TOPEKA, Kansas. April Z.
A cyclone which started near RAYMOND,
Rice County, last night, moved northerly,
and FRUSTRATED telegraph poles where it cross
ed the Santa Fee railroad tracks. John Will
sons house was blown down, Mrs. Wilson
killed, and Mrs Parker fatally injured. Sew
eral other large and strongly built houses
were demolished in that neighborhood.
Proceeding northward the storm struck the
town of Chase, demolishing twenty out of
twenty-six buildings there. and throwing cars
from the track Mr. Reed, hotel keeper, was
killed, his wife fatally injured: another
woman and child were also killed at about
the same time in the evening. All the in
habitsnts of Chase were more or less injured,
but few escaping without hurts of some kind.
The people are living in box cars, and many
families are in a destitute condition.
EAST SAGINAW, April Z.
The news from Clyde Station says the ter
ribIe hurricane passed near Highland Station,
Flint & Pere Marquette road, south of Holly,
early yesterday evening. The extent of the
damage done is not yet known as the tele-
graph line is blown down. The dwelling of
Mr. Crandal was blown down, Crandall and
one child was killed, and daughter was Sc
verey injured. Mrs. TAYLOR, of Pontiac,
was killed and several others were more or
less injured. The hurricane covered an area
less than half mile wide. but is reported to
have levelled everything in its path.
A smaller cyclone passed through the east
ern part of the country, but it did little dam
age. 1t was accompanied by water spout
pouring deluge of water in some places
and drowning ever, thing loose in other parts
The wind sucked all the water out of the
wells. As the cloud approached Chase it was
in the shape of funnel whistling and twist
ing with fearful velocity. Among the heavi-
est losers are the following: Eckles & Bros,
store room, 81 900; Ed Shottens, store room
and residence, 50 900; Sutton. Swisher &
Duprees, store room, 81 200; Geo. +. Miller,

value, At public sale, by the statement that
il was appraised at 5lO2, 900. 1t was ap-
praised at that value, bat for occupation and
use upon the island. 1t included large board
ing houses, which had cost the government
much money, but which were of very little
value to be taken down and removed. Mr..
Dixon gave for them more than any one else
was disposed to. They were worth more to
him than he gave. but only for the reason that
he had an immediate use for them. They
have been long vacant and are Of little pres
emf worth. If an Investigation is begun it
will be brief and unsatisfactory. Mr. Dixon
has 10 reason TO fear its results, and proba-
bly does not care how soon it begins. Neither
will Mr.. Fogg. the Government Superintend-
ent in charge Of the work at Dix Island.
