CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, April 14.--Senator
Lapham presented the remonstranee
transmitted to him by the Chamber
of Commerce of New York, from the
business men of that city
engaged in the China dry
goods, iron and cotton trade,
and embracing the signatures of
banks, bankers and insurance COM
panies against the passage of any
law prohibiting Chinese immigration.
It sets forth that such legislation is
contrary to our national policy, an
unnecessary affront to friendly ma
ton, and prejudicial to the CONNER
cial interests of the country, in res
ducing, if not destroying, our
growing commerce with China,
which promises to be of vast inns
portance.
Senator Lapham, said the petis
TONERS were animated by that spirit
which so universally prevailed in his
boyhood and which was expressed
in one stanza in the song of "Jeffer>
son and Liberty" with which all
were familiar
''Here strangers from thousand shores
Compelled by Tyranny to roam,
Shall find amid abundant stores
freer, happy home"
The paper went to the committee
al foreign relations.
Senator Maxey, from the the com
mittee on claims, reported favorably
with amendment the bill to appro-
pirate and apply the amount appro-
priated by the act of March, 1877, to
pay certain Southern mail contrac
tors.
On motion of Senator Cameron,
of Wisconsin, the House bill for the
allowance of about 1900 claims aris-
ing under act of July 4th, 1864, fo1
stores and supplies furnished to the
Army of the United States, all OF
which have been reported by the ac-
counting officer of the Treasury, was
passed.
The Senate took up the calendar
and, on motion of Senator Teller, de
voted the morning hour to pension
bills, of which a number were
passed.
At the expiration of the morning
hour, at 2 o'clock, the bill for the
Improvement of navigation of the
Mississippi and Missouri Rivers
which came up as the regular order
was laid aside and sixty pension
bills were passed.
After disposing of this business
the regular order was again. passes

4 Spoiled Sensation.

From the Cincinnati Commercial (Rep)
II the committee of investigation
into the Chih-Peru business was set
in motion with the expectation Of
trapping as big game as Jim Blaine,
Of Maine, it IS wasting valuable
time. Even Shipherd confesses that
he never had the slightest suspicion
that Mr. Blaine had the slightest
connection or interest III the Lam
dreau, Cochet, or other scheme of
spoiis il Peru. Yet, if there were
the least room for suspicion who
doubts that Shipherd, with his mal~
eyolent disposition toward the late
Secretary, would not make the most

The South Carolina Election
Cases.

The South Carolina Election
Cases.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 13.-In
the United States Circuit Court to-
day, in the Acton election case, the
testimony for the defense was opened
and closed, and the testimony for the
prosecution was closed.
Dallas Sanders made the opening
argument for the prosecution, and
Col.- J. c. Haskell opened for the
defense.
One counsel on each side will be
heard tomorrow, and the case will
then go to the jury.
The witnesses for the defence to-
day denied point blank the charges
made by the government witnesses,
and swore positively that
Kane, United States supervisor, had
been allowed far more privileges
than he was entitled to under the
law. They testified that the ballots
box. had been opened foully and dis.
played to Kane before the election
began, and that he had expressed no
dissatisfaction. That Kane had
been caught twice with his hand in
the ballot-box, and it was shortly af
ter one of these occasions that a
bundle of tickets had been found in
box. The defense also put up a
number of witnesses to prove the
bad reputation of the government
witnesses. One was shown to be a
! gambler and to have been tried for
larceny and murder, and another, q
colored school teacher, was shown to
have forged pay rolls and swindled
the bank in Columbia and seduced
some of his pupils, another was
shown to have swindled a colored
woman out of a tract of land and
testimony was introduced which
went to show that every witness ex-
amined by the government bore bad
regulations in the community which
they lived and to be unworthy of be
lief on oath.

Don't Worry About Tilden.
From the Albany Express (Rep.

iNih sAio hioohJ LA plOoo AhSP.I
Some of our exchanges have seen
fit to advise the friends of Sammy
Tilden to keep an eye on him lest he
should fall into the wiles of such
sharpers as feeced Charles Francis
Adams. If anyone insists on
coupling the names of Tilden and
the bunko players, all of the advice
should be given to the bunko men;
for if the great reformer ever got a
chance at them, he would, at the
close of the exercises, pocket all of
