The Senate.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Cameron
wis., presented memorial from the Good
Templars of Wisconsin protesting against Lo-
gan's bill appropriating to the states revenue
from the liquor traffic as an educational fund.
The memorialists assert that in their opinion
the measure will fasten upon the country a
devastating and devilish traffic which has not
shadow of excuse for its existence, except
as founded in avarice, uuholy appetite and the
determination of the devil to make criminals
and paupers of the race, and to increase the
population of hell.
A bill passed appropriating $4,000 for the
immediate relief of the Cheyenne and Apache
Indians.
Farley introduced bill to execute certain
treaty stipulations in relation with the Chinese.
1t is Identical with the vetoed bill, except that
the term of suspension is made sixteen years.
Miller reported an original bill to provide
for ocean mail service between the United
States and foreign points.
The senate bill to fix a day for the meeting
of the electors of the president and vice presi-
dent, and provide for and regulate counting
the votes for president and vice president, and
the decision of questions arising therefor, was
further discussed and passed by viva voce
vote.
A recommendation was received from the
secretary of war for the appropriation OF
S50l 1855, deficiencies in appropriation for
army transportation and supplies for the cur
rent year.

Clay county horse-thief; Tucker Baashan, Ed.
Ryan and Dick Little. The last thres were
young farmers sons, who, led on by the per-
suasive power of Jesse James, went blindly
into the work. They robbed a train on the
evening OF October s at Glendale, on the Chi
cago & Alton, and secured s25, 900 or $4,000.
The gang scattered at once. James Lgget,
at that lime marshal of Jackson county, at
once organized strong party to cap
ture the robbers, II possible, and
George Shepherd, a former friend Of
Jesse James, was taken into their confidence.
Shepherd was to betray Jesse. A plan was
laid to rob the bank at Galena, Mo. Shepherd
came back and reported that he had killed
Jesse, but it was only put-up job to secure
the $4,000 reward. Then followed the recent
robberies at Winston and Blue Cut, which are
still fresh in the public mind. After the Blue
Cut robbery Jesse hid at his mothers house
IN Kearney. He had shot himself during the
fight and was badly wounded. Little, in a
fuss, killed Woo Hite, Jesse's best friend, and
had to leave the gang. He then gave himself
up and has confessed all about the recent rob
berries. Jesse and Ed. Miller, he says, had
quarrel about the spoils after the Blue Cut
robbery, and Miller was shot by Jesse. The
death of Jesse will about put an end to the
outlaws. There Is no other leader so daring.

GuLLED BY GAMBLERS.
Charles Francis Adams is Taken In and
Done For TO ths Tune of $1,000.

Done For TO tho Tune of $1,000.
BosToN, April Ga remarkable conspiracy
to extort money from Charlts Francis Adams,
and blackmail his family has just come to
light. The first intention of the scheme was
warning received by Adams clerk on Friday
last, that Adams account at his bank had
been overdrawn. This was considered very
surprising, as he was known to have $4,000
to his credit there. Investigation was at once
begun and it was found that check for
S17,50O, regularly endorsed and signed by
Adams, but filled in by another hand, had
been deposited in the Merchants bank
some time previously, and had In due
course of business come around to
Adams bank. To-dayG s. Morrison was ar
rested on the 10 O'Clock train for New York.
He made statement that the check represen-
ted money which Adams had lost at garnb-
ling. His statement further shows that Adj
ans, who is feeble in heslth, and whose men,
ory is impaired, was fit subject for pluckinp
by the man, who is said to be interested in a
bupko game, and that it was believed Adams
family-would pay any sum to avoid the pub
LEGATION of the story. Adams was met by
Morrison in the street, the latter assuring
to be relative and political friend, and de-
coyed him into a place on Boylston street,
where a cams was in progress. Adams was
confused and did not seem to know what he
was about, and the sharpers finally induced
him to sign and endorse three notes, one for
$17, 500, one for $1,000 and one for $3.50.
Morrison said frankly, he did not believe Mr..
Adams knew what he was doing, and as he
sawalnim after the swindle coming from his
home without any apparent agitation he,
(Morrison) supposed the game had succeeded
and that Adams had concluded to allow the
checks to he paid. Another man named
J. j. Norton Is emphatic but he has not yet
been arrested. Adams clerk, In discovering
this check had been deposited, had the account
at the Merchants bank trusted and the mat
ter placed in the hands OF detectives,
with the above result. Adams. is rs
years old, has been somewhat i'll for two
years, and his mind is at times affected. He
does not yet seem to realize the extent or
nature of the transaction. The largest check
was the only one deposited.

Opposftten to Chandler.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The nominations
Of Teller and Chandler were generally expect
ed, and therefore created no surprise. Teller
no doubt will be confirmed, with reference to
the committee, but there will be strong op-
position TO Chandler from the Democratic
side Several Democratic senators have al
ready openly declared that they will oppose
Chandler, but it is thought the Republicans
will all vote for him. Don Cameron voted
against him when he was nominated
for solicitor general, but in view of Gamer
on's close relations with the administration,
it is generally believed he wilt now vote to
coufrm Chandler, and it is the opinion of
some of the leading Democrats that DAVIS OF
Illinois, will also vote for Chandler, SO that
cvea if all the Democrats should oppose him,
he is likely to be confirmed.
DECIDEDLY DOUBTFUL.
The confirmation of w. E. Chandler appears
to he in some doubt, and several Democratic
senator's, among them Beck, assert he will
mol receive the Democratic vote. They also
claim that several Republican senators will
vote against the confirmation. Those op-
posed TO Chandler say no senator who opposed
him when sent in by Garfield for solicitor
general can now consistently vote for him for
a higher Office. At that time seven or more
Republicans were against him among them
Hosr and Hawley, because they thought his
" lmiaatton contrary to civil service reform
