XLVIIth Congress-1st Session
HOUSE.


WASHINGTON, June 10. Immediately after
the reading of the journal, the House went
into Committee of the Whole (Mr. Robinson of
Massachusetts, in the chair, and resumed con-
sideration of the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill.
Mr.. Steele of Indiana moved to strike out
the sections appropriating $4,000 for the en-
plovment of clerks in the Quartermaster Gen.
erals and Commissary Generals Office in the
investigation of claims, under the act OF July
4, 1864, and to insert in lieu thereof provision
transferring those claims to the Court OF Claims
for adjudication.
Mr.. Briggs of New Hampshire said that when
his proposition was made upon the army ap-
preparation bill, he had opposed it, but upon
certain charges having been made by Mr.
Blackburn of Kentucky against the manner in
which the adjudication of those claims was
carried on in the Quartermaster Generals
Office, the matter had been referred to the
Committee on Expenditures in the War De-
partment, OF which he Briggs was chairman,
for investigation. That investigation was not
yet completed, and he was not in situation
to make public the result of the inquiry. From
the investigation he had made, however, he
believed that justice to the government nd
Justice to the honest claimants demanded that
the claims should be transferred to some tribu-
nails that would investigate them according TO
ordinary judicial methods.
Mr.. Holman offered an amendment making
the fact of loyalty jurisdictional fact.
Adopted.
Mr.. Steele's amendment, as amended by Mr..
Holman, was lost-yeas, "a; nays, SO.
Mr.. Kasson of Iowa, under instructions from
the Committee on Civil Service Reform, Of
fered an amendment providing that the ap-
pointment of additional clerks in the Pension
office, the Adjutant Generals Office, and the
Surgeon Generals Office shall be subject to the
following regulations: Candidates shall not be
less than Is or more than 30 years of age; ad-
mission shall only be allowed after prelimi-
nary examination shall have been passed; the
original appointment shall be for period of
six months; at the expiration of that period
the appointee, if he shall be found capable,
shall be entitled to receive permanent ap-
pointment, to continue for three years, unless
sooner removed for cause, or because such cler-
ical services shall be no longer required; the
appointments shall be distributed, pro rata, as
far as practicable, among the various Congress
sional districts.
Mr.. Curtin of Pennsylvania, who originally
introduced this proposition, spoke in support Of
it, and was followed by Mr.. Willis OF Ken
lucky, who claimed that its effect would be to
bring competent men to the work of investi-
eating pension claims. A long discussion en-
sued on point of order raised by Mr.. Cannon
of Illinois, and the chair finally ruled the
amendment out on the ground that it changed
existing law. The committee then, after the
consideration OF so of the 100 pages of the bill,
rose, and the House, at sos, adjourned.

a Pleasant Reminder.

In the winter of 1862 an acquaintance, which
ripened into intimacy, was formed between a
young man, who was attached to an American
ship-of-war then wintering in Genoa, Italy,
and German gentleman residing at the same
place. The German, whose name was Soupold,
has since died, leaving out of his estate prop.
erty in Genoa worth 1900 francs to his old
friend. The acquaintance was formed from
the simple matter of the German asking the
American for light from his cigar in cafe.
The latter had been admitted to the bar of his
native State and was enabled to give some i'm
portant information, which was needed by his
friend, in a suit pending respecting contract
relating to the employment of marine dredging
machines, wherein the terms used were impor-
tant, and the Italian vernacular was entirely
barren in such nomenc lature-the machines
being an English production. The explana-
tion doubtless was Is satisfactory to one as the
devise now is to the other 1t is understood
that the devisee is now procticing his profession
at Kittery.

A MOTHERS TERRIBLE DEED
A Chicago Woman Poisons Her Fou1
Children and Herself.

Chicago Woman Poisons Her Four
Children and Herself.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 10.-Casper Seybolt is a
baker who works at night. After he had left
his home last evening his wife began prepara-
tion for horrible deed. The pair had four
children, aged respectively II, z and % years,
and baby of four months. She dressed the
four in fresh white cloths with bright ribbons,
then gave them strychnine and as soon as they
were dead laid them out carefully with flowers
in their hands and all their surroundings made
as beautiful as possible. Having put on fresh
white chemise, decked with ribbons she took a
dose of the poison. This was just before her
husbands return at s O'Clock in the morning.
When he appeared af the door, she met him
and said: "Come and see the children; they
are all dead and gone to heaven. See how pref
ty they are with nice flowers for the angels" !"
Mrs. Seybelt died about this morning. 1t
appears that Mr.. and Mrs. Seybolt did not live
in entire harmony; that since the birth OF her
hvalrh, and it is believed dependency caused
her to commit the deed From a number of
notes written by the eldest daughter, aged 12,
it appears that Mrs Seybolt talked the matter
over with her, and got her consent to the terri
bic tragedy. Several are addressed to her
schoolmates on childish matters, and two to
her father One says: "Forgive me. We have
leave you. Mamma thought twas best We
could do" Another asks him to bury them
ey to buy flowers. One addressed to school
mate says: "Mother was always sick, you know
and thought of dying, often, and how we would
be treated, and so thought it best for all of US
to die at once and bought something to kill
us--baby first, Annie second, Tony third, af-
ter, and then mother. We did not suffer much,
and now we are all out of trouble"

HARVEST INDICATIONS.
Cotton Nominal, Wheat Above Par and

Cotton Nominal. Wheat Above Par and
Corn Weak.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 10.-The June
crop report of the department OF agriculture
represents the entire area of 1860 of the princi-
pal counties OF the United States, and includes
all but small fraction Of the breadth OF the
prominent crops.
The area in cotton is 2 7-10 per cent. less
than in 1881. Texas makes an increase and al
SO the small cotton district Of southeast Vir-
ginia; all other states return some less of area
The largest deficiency is in the states bordering
on the Mississippi river, where planting in ov-
er-fowed districts was not entirely finished on
the 1st of June. The comparison with last
years acreage is: Virginia, 107 per cent; North
Carolina, So; South Carolina. 50; Georgia, 90;
Florida, SO; Alabama, So: Mississippi 95:
Louisiana, 81; Texap, 105; Arkansas, 94; Ten
nessee. 81. The average condition of the en-
tire cotton area indicates depreciation OF IL
per cent. from perfect healthfulness and aver
age growth. 1t is represented by 49,. The June
condition of the previous crop was SO. 1t was
SO of the fine crop OF 1880. It is better than
last year only in South Carolina and Texas.
The cause of the deprecated condition is main
ly temperature too low for thrift.

uuiesce, the delegates would exert their united
