GENERAL MATTERS.
Orth Not Yet Through-The Utah Case
Western Men Must Wait-Piumb on
Finance.

WASHINGTON. January 1l.-Representa-
tive Orth SAYS he is not done with the sub
ject of changing the method of appointing
the House Committees; that he intends to
agitate ii until he can affect a reform, but
he will have TO make q new start. His
resolution has gone to its grave. Ii was
referred to the Committee on Rules, and q
majority of the members of that committee
believe the Speakers rights should be
maintained.
There is one vacancy upon the committee
now, created by the refusal of Orth 10
serve. OF the members, the Speaker, Rob-
inson and Randall will oppose any change,
while Blackburn is said TO be inclined 10
fayor.it.
The indications are the House Commit
tee on Elections will send the Utah case
back to the people Of that territory for an
other election.
The Western Senators who saw the Presi-
dent to-day in relation 10 the Federal APP
pointments In their respective States, say
he informed them that he was not ready
yet to consider those matters, but he would
take them up soon.
Senator Plumb will speak tomorrow on
the Sherman funding bill, if he can get the
floor. He viii oppose the bill as useless,
unnecessary legislation. He will take the
position that the Window plan is working
to the entire satisfaction of everybody,
and that the cost OF issuing and selling the
three per cent. bends would amount to
more than the one-half of one per cent. in
terest that would be saved. He will pre-
sent en- estimate of the expense of issuing
new bonds, and of the double interest that
would be necessary by the redemption of
the three and half per cents, to sustain
his claim-that the cost will amount to
mers taaa the interest saved, :.

The proceedings were opened by a PRAYER

Exciting Scene I'm Kentucky Court
Tne Men Resist the Sheriff : The
Jndse Assists I'm Arrestins Them.
IoUIsvILLE, KY, January ia special
to fhe C01ier-Joui,al from Mount Vernon
sal y This little village, usually 30 quiet,
was Today the scene OF wild tumult Cir
cult Court was in session, A. o. Bradley
sitting as special judge. The case of the
Commonwealth against r. Randall, for
murder, was on trial, and witnesses were
testifying.
John Mullins, witness in the case, who
he'd been placed under rule, came into the
court room intoxicated, and was leaning
against the bar. Judge Bradley spoke to
him, asking him il he was not witness.
Upon his reply in the affirmative, he asked
him what he was doing in the court room.
Mullins responded ''he was standing there,
he reckoned."
"Fine him ten dollars, Mr. Clerk" said
the Judge.
Mullins made another insulting remark,
and another fine of ten dollars was entered
against him. Another insulting remark
was followed by an order from the court TO
the jailer TO take Mullins
Into Custody.
Mullins then ran out OF the court room,
followed by the jailer and two deputy
sheriffs who pursued him some distance
out of town, when he turned and fired sew
eral shots at them. The two sheritls then
fired, but no one was hit.
After short chase, Mullins was cap
tured and brought 10 the court room by
the posse. He was accompanied by his
father, Ceamp Mullins, who was also in
toxicated. John Mullins was ordered to
jail by Judge Bradley, whereupon he and
his father both arose and declared that ne
should not be taken TO Jail.
Champ is one of the most powerful men,
physically, in the country, and it would
take n half dozen ordinary men to hold
lin. When the jailoL and posse started
with John TO Jail, the prisoner and his
father resisted The scene which followed
Beggars Description.
The large crowd in the court room broke
into the widest disorder. Men were
knocked down, pistols drawn, guards
rushed in with shot guns, and the rush for
doors and windows was tremendous. The
Mullins and officers fought their way out
of the court room and down stairs into the
street. When they reached it some one
gave John Mullens pistol with which he
fired two shots, in what direction is not
known. Both men were finally arrested
and placed in jail where they now are.
The Excitement Was ut Fever Heat
for a while, and everybody breathed freely
when quiet was restored, and the closest
search failed to discover any corpse. AS
soon as the disorder began Judge Bradley
left the bench and shouted: Il call on
every man in this house to help arrest
these men, and will assist myself, and
he did lend such assistance as he could.
The jury in the Randall case were mixed
up in a confused crowd, and after the res
toration of quiet, by agreement OF both
sides, they were discharged from further
consideration of the case, and the trial was
continued till the next term.
The day was the most disgraccful in our
county's history, and good citizens should
now rally to the support of the law, and
see that nothing like it occurs again

Gov. CorneIrs Message-The Dead Lock
Continues.

ALBANY, y. Y, January 1.-THE Senate
met at noon, and Gov Cornell sent in his
message. 1t opens with an allusion 10 the
national grief at the wicked assassination
of the President, and the universal express
sions of sympathy from every quarter.
The finances are in gratifying condition.
Under the head of canals, the Governor
says the competition of the railways, the
enlargement OF the Canadian canals and
the Development of the Mississippi river
route are important considerations, with
reference 10 the future capacity OF the
canals 10 earn the necessary revenue Tor
maintenance. II added TO these there
should be q smaller foreign demand for
breadstuffs, or reduced production In the
Western States. it is plain to be seen that
under the presen constitutional restriction
on canal expenditures the usefulness OF
canals may be seriously imperilled if not
entirely suspended until relief be secured
through an amendment TO the Constitu-
ton. In view of the time required for
this process, your consideration of the
pending propositions for a Constitutional
amendments respectfully suggested.
Other points are touched upon in SUBJ
stance. as follows All sales Of oleomarger-
inc as butter should be prevented; there
should he a fair traffic and just regulation
Of freight traffic, and some measure devised
which shall afford the needed relief TO the
patrons OF railroads, and at the same time
not impose unreasonable burdens upon cor
porations; q careful amendment OF the
laws now in force concerning imprison-
ment for debt is suggested; attention is
called to the inadequacy OF the excise lava
and the necessity Of effective amendments
thereto. The Governor hopes the consid-
arot;nn nj the subiect of the International
Exposition will be renewed for a later date
A modification OF the usury laws OF the
State, at least so far as they relate to the
demand loans, is referred to as means OF
preventing the unusual commission for
money in addition TO the legal rate of in
terest. The bribery of voters is sternly re-
buked, and a biennial session OF the Legis-
lature advocated.
The House met and cast one vote for
Speaker, with the following result: Patter-
son, Sc; AlyOrd, SIS; Costello, ,. Necessary
TO a choice 81. Tammany delegates cast
the Costello votes. Adjourned until to-
morrow.

SHERMAN ON THE STAND.
He Admits work Done on His Property
by Treasury Employees, but says ne
Paid for it cut OF His Own Pocket.
Special % Western ASSocidted Press.

Special 10 Western associated Press.
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE Senate
Committee investigating the contingent
fund expenditures of the several executive,
departments, examined Senator Sherman
to-day, with regard to the alleged frauds
and irregularities in the Treasury Depart
ment expenditures while he was Secre-
tary.
He disclaimed any knowledge whatever
of the Irregularities and discrepancies that
had been discovered, and said the Secretary
OF the Treasury has too many matters OF
weighty import to look after to watch all
the minute details of the Department;
that he must trust the details TO subordn-
ateS, and cannot possibly have an eye upon
all their accounts.
With regard to the allegation that Treas
ury workmcn had done work upon his
houses. and had been paid out of the con-
tingent fund, he admitted that mechanics
on the Treasury roll had been employed by
him at different times, but said he had
paid for all the work they did out OF his
own pocket.
Pitney was at one time acting as agent
for Sherman, collected the rents from the
Secretary's tenants, and attended TO the
repairs upon his house. Mechanics of the
Treasury were given odd jobs of repairs as
extra work, but their time was kept at the
department, and they were paid each
month for all the work they had done.
An account of such extra work as was
done upon Sherman's property was rem
dered him, and he always paid it; but that
Pincy might have gotten the accounts
mixed somewhat and thus gave some color
to the allegation that the workman. were
paid for services to Sherman out OF the
Contingent Fund.
Upon one point Senator Sherman was
very positive, and that was that he was
charged with and paid for all the work the
mechanics did for him.
\ member of the committee says the de-
velopments are all OF q very small grade,
and that the irregularities involve petty
affairs, but he added the only criticism to
be made upon Sherman is, that because he
could get the work done little cheaper
by them, he consented TO employ, in his own
service, men employed in the department
he had charge of. This saving, he said, was
evidently what induced Sherman 10 em-
ploy those men. Tkey were willing to do
the extra work at lower rates than outside
mechanics.

the National banks have grown in wealth
and power to such an extent that they do
not intend to surrender their charters or
their existence. The banks can only con-
tinue with a national debt, and the banks
do not propose to have the public debt paid
off because it would wipe them out. He
insisted the issue between aggregated CAPT
tai and the National banks on the one side,
and the people on the other, is now pre-
sented, and he arrayed himself on the side
of the people. He criticised Senator Nc
Pherson for his remarks, yesterday, in sup
port of the National banks, and said this
was not Democratic doctrine; that the
Democratic party does not sympatize with
the National banks.

Mr.. Haskins said the Gentle polygamists
were put in the penitcntiary, while the
Mormous were allowed the floors OF Con-
gresS.
Mr. Reagan, OF Texas. opposed the reSo-
luton on the ground that it excluded per-
sons from membership on a presumed state
of facts, without an examination or inyeS-
tication.
Mr. Speer argued the resolution did not
present question OF privilege. II the
gentleman proposed 10 fix a new QualihCa-
TO the Committee on Judiciary. The fact
that Cannon was not a member, took the
question out Of the purview OF privileged
question.
Mr. Mills contended that as there was no
member of the House charged with polyg-
amy, the resolution could not present q
question Of privilege.
Mr. Cannon took the ground the ques-
ton was not one of privilege, inasmuch
as whether adopted or rejected, it could
have no effect upon any one.
Mr.. Haskell declared his resolution did
not propose law; it simply asked the
house TO express an opinion on the queS-
tion of polygamy.
The Speaker submitted the question
whether the resolution presented a privi-
legged question.
BY vote of yeas 100. nays 139 the House
determined no question Of privilege was
involved in the resolution.
