INGHnsoLL AND BLISS.


The trial Of the Star Route frauds was
ID have begun last week, but were again
delayed. The occasion Of the call for
trial, however, gave rise 10 an exciting
and persona, controversy, which exceed
cd the bounds of propriety in a very
marked degree for the civilization Of
Washington. The occurrence is thus
related in the press dispatches
Mr. Herrick said John W. Dorsey had
not been arraigned, aud Mr.. Bis. added
that in view Of the fact that Mr.. Inger-
soil had promised him in positive terms
several weeks ago to produce John ".
Dorsey in court, and relying upon this
promise, although they had a bench war
rant for his arrest. they had promised
mot to make themselves unhappy" in
trying 10 secure his arrest. Dorsey bad
not been produced. He wanted to call
attention to this bareiaced violation, and
to say that he regarded it a, mere
measure o: delay. At thi. point Mr..
lngersoll sprang to hi, feet, and bringing
his fist down on the table exclaimed:
you arc liar, sir, liar ~
Considerable excitement followed and
the court called upon the marshal with
the evident intention Of placing some Of
the participants under arrest, but seem
ingly changed his mind. Judge Wyie
said: "Such language is inIolerab!e.
and ! will not endure It. Perhaps Colo.
mel lngersoll has gone beyond the lust
measure of retaliation, but the ofIcnse Of
Mr. Bliss Is inexcusable. will allow
this oftensc 10 pass upon this occasion.
but warn all gentlemen to avoid repe.
tition Of il" Mr. Merfick then entered
into luiH explanation Of the circum-
stances Of agreement between counsel as
to Dorseya appearance, and claimed
that the statement Of Mr. Bliss was cor.
rect.
Mr.. Ingersoll, in answer to an inquiry
from the court, said he did not deny The
fact. He did deny that he had been
guilty Of n trick. He had acted with
perfect good faith, under the conviction
that he would be able to produce Dorsey.
He supposed when he made the arrange.
mcnt that he had the power to produce
Dorsey, and wanted to say now that he
could not Mr.. Bliss then followed with
n personal explanation, which the court
interrupted to say that they had better
get TO work.
Upon the explanation that the failure
Of Dorsey's counsel to produce him in
court had left tho Government in all en-
barressing position delay to May 10th
was granted, to give time for the service
of bench warrant on Dorsey, which
was granted, when the other defendants
we're arTaigned some weeks ago, but the
service Of which was withheld on InSer-
soils pledge TO produce his client in
court when wanted.

public printer, and the final report 10 to
be made not later than the first Monday
of December, 1882. The Bill comedies
with the one passed by the Senate ON
March %. with the exception that the
Senate Bill requires the Commission 10
gather information on which TO base
revision Of the internal revenue laws.
In the Senate, Mr.. Allison moved to
strike out the clause referring TO internal
revenue, but his motion was lost by
vote of % to 38. The Bill was passed in
the Senate by vote Of 38 to 10.
= a correspondent Of the Ners and
Courier sug yests as partial remedy for
our present troubles an amendment re.
quiring mau to pay taxes on 5000
worth of property before being eligible
TO the State Senate; and allowing each
elector to vote for only one member OF
the lower House. He says:
"Cnder this new rule every minority,
and each race, would be secured repre-.
sentation in the lower House. Take o
county entitled to three members, for ex-
ample, and say the Republicans or blacks
are in the majority if the white minor
ty plump their candidate, and the ma
iority divide .heir votes on two cand'.
dates, the result will be one representa-
tive of the minority and two of the ma
ioritv, one of whom is apt to be white
man. Even the lower House then,
though divided, will be 80 divided as to
secure honest and wholesome legisla-
f;op

The General Conference.

The General Conference Of the Meiho.
dist Episcopal Church, South, began its
quadrennias session in Nashville on
Wednesday. The address of the Bish.
ops was published, and shows that all the
interests of the church have largely pro.
gressed during the quadrennial period
just closed. The increase in membership
has been over 10000, making tho total at
this time over 100000. The missionary
field has been greatly enlarged. and the
increase of missionary funds during tho
four years has been over $ll1,000. The
publishing establishment at Nashville
has been placed on substantial basis,
its debts reduced in volume and placed
in manageable form. The publication
of the Sunday school periodicals has
reached n circulation of 100000. There
has been q corresponding growth in the
Sunday school work.
The usual standing committees were
appointed, and we notice that the posi-.
tions of South Carolina delegates on

The Extra Session.

The Hon. Armistead Burt gives tho
Abbeville Press and Rdnner some reasons
why he thinks an extra session of the
State Legislature necessary. He said {:
Il the State is not arranged into seven
Congressional districts, the election of
two representatives by general ticket will
be prize for which the Republican par
ty will contend with all its mschievous
might and all of its perilous power. All
the vast machinery of the Government
Of the United States, its glitteripg uni
form and its cleaning bayonet, aud its
array of supervisors. its multitude of
marshals, and all that is pestilent and
malignant iii its instrumentalities will

sangement OF the Staie into seven Con.
gressional districts would secure that
majority, but as tho Radicals will almost
certainly elect their candidates :n two of
the present districts, and almost certainly
would elect the two from the Strte. at
large, If there be no re-districting before
the next election, is there any good citi-
zen who, TO save q ccw dollars, would
surrender, or even hazard that majority,
which is so indispensable to our peace,
our social order and our civilization?
The reasons for an extra session arc as
obvious as they are conclusive. If the
redistricting the State shall be postponed
until the next regular Legislature shall
meet, And The Radicals shall carry the
