have signed petition to the President Tor the ap
pointment of Henry W. Oliver, jr.. of Pitsburg as
4 member of the Tariff Commission. Messrs. Fisher,

THIS covers the whole Republican delegation. Mr.
Olivcr was the Cameron nominee for Senator last

STILL FIGHTING AGAINST THE BANKS

[BY TELEGRAPH TO TIIE TRIBUNE
WAsuINGToN May 12.-Having exhausted every
other arice to prevent the consideration OF the bill
TO extend the charters of the National banks, the
Democratic National bank haters in the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES led by Samuel J. Randall. to-day
rcsorted to fbustering. For long time the Demo-
cras resisted the fixing of day lor the considera-
ton of the Bank bill. ostensbly because they
wanted 20 be assured of an opportunity for
full discussion and TO offer certain amend
ments. Finally. Mr.. Crapo amended his
resolution as specifically to grant everything the
Democrats asked and then about halfof them voted
with the Republicans TO make the bill special
order for May 9, and to continue from day to Gay
until the measure should be disposedot. This order
was made by a vote Of more than two-thirds of the
House
OF course the Democratic anxiety to 60 on with
private business to-day was the merest pretext
and its utter falsty exposed over and over
again in the parliamentary squabbe which began
with Mr. Crapo's attempt to call up the Bank bill
and ended only when the House adjourned, after
wasting two OF three hours of time. The
yeas and nays were called on the motion
to take up the bill, and 1t was carried by
a vote Of 116 to 10, when Mr. Randall made the
point that no quorum had voted. Only fifteen more
votes were necessary but they were not to be had.
although call of the House Immediately after
ward showed that 211 members were actually pres
ent. On the first motion TO take up the blu four
teen Democrats voted in the affirmative. They
were Messrs. Beach. Bliss, Converse, Dowd, Ellis,
Ermentrout, Hardenbergh, Hardy, II. S. Harris. A.
S. Hewitt. Hoge. J. s. Richardson, Scovile and
Speer. On second motion of the same sort, which
was carried by vote of 104 TO 8, only six Demo-
Gratis voted with the Republicans. They were
Mesrs. Bliss, Ellis, Flower A. S. Hewitt, McLane
and Scoyille.

COLONEL LoCKETTs $500 HORSE
Recovered by Capt Pleas. Roberts, and
the Thief in Jail. 4f.

Recovered by Capt Pleas. Roberts. and
the Thief in Jail. s.t
1t will be remembered, as was published
in the CHRONICLE, that the fine bay buggy
horse belonging to Col w. B.
Lockett, of the wholesale grocery
firm of NJ L. Ross & Co., was stolen
from the stable at Montvale Springs, on the
night of July 31st, the stable having been
broken open by unknown parties. Suspic-
ion rested on a man who had been seen
about the place, admiring the horse, and
steps were at once instituted to recover the
horse and capture the thief week after
wards he was heard of at Newport, Cooke
County, but was not secured.
About twelve days ago Capt Pleas. Ro-
berts, of this city, was employed by Col
Lockett, and went in pursuit, and he re-
turned Wednesday morning, having accom-
plished his work well and satisfactorily.
Capt. Roberts had rough experience trail
ing the horse through the mountains of
Western North Carolina and he finally ran
upon him within one mile of Asheville, n
G. He was in the possession of Geo. w.
Lee, the man upon whom suspicion rested
He told that he had yned the horse for two
or three years, and that he had
kept him for nine months a McMillan's
stable in this city. Lee had sold, or at least
bargained to sell the horse to the man with
whom he was stopping, for $25. The man
had been posted, however, and, with pre-
tense of having Lee wait till he raised
the money, detained him till Captain
Roberts secured the help of officers of the
law and arrived upon the scene in time to
capture the horse and arrest Lee.
The horse, when stolen, was one of the
finest and best pieces of horse
flesh in Knoxville, was priced very highly
by Col Lockett, and he would not have
taken $500 for him. When found,
however, he was terribly jaded,
with a frightful sore back, from
severe riding, and otherwise injured and
almost ruined. He will never be the same
horse again. He is now being brought
through to Knoxville, by overland route.
Lee was promptly arrested and lodged in
jail at Asheville. He is man
of good address, and is very
well known about Maryville and Montvale
Springs, where he has been keeping himself
for three or four years past, and where he
was well thought of. There has been a
mystery about him, though, all the while.
He always seemed to have plenty of money
and live to well, but nobody knew how he got
hold of it. requisition will be secured
and Lee will be brought back to Blount
County to be tried for the crime and will be
prosecuted to the extent of the law.
Captain Roberts deserves much credit for
his successful followir up of the trail, and
Colonel Lockett is to be congratulated upon
the recovery of so valuable an animal,
although he is, in q manner, ruined, and his
rescue has cost all immense amount OF
money. AS for the thief it is to be hoped
he will suffer the severest penalty known to
the law.
