vestigate whether improper influences

Senator in regard to the bill pending
before the Finance Committee, to amend
the laws in relation 10 distilled spirits
in special bonded warehouses. He
asked present consideration Of the reso
luton, but MIR. Morrill, objected, and it
went over. The Dill repeating Q stat
ute prohibiting appointments OF ex-Con-
tederates in The army and navy Mr..
ingalls, moved to amend 50 as to con.
tinue the statute, but to COntine the pro-
hibition to officers who left the army or
navy to enter the Confederate servic5,
and he moved to commit the bill and
amendment. After discussion by Mes
srs. salisbury, GarlAnd, ingalls,, Butler,
voorhees, and Hawley, the bill then
went over until to-day. The Court o.
Appeals bill was considered, but not
finally acted upon. The House amend
ments to the bill for the sale of the

Adjourned.
In the House, Mr.. Henderson, of
Illinois, chairman of the Committee on
Military, to which was referred the

ness in Arizona, reported bill to allow
the United States troops to be used as a
posse comitatus in any Territory on
reuuisticn of the Governor thereof.
After some remarks by Messrs. Ran
dali and Hewitt, the bill was ordered to

the consolidation of abroad companies
in the Territories for the relief of Ben.

The Church and the Turf.

A Louisville (Ky.) dispatch says the
congregations at the Christian Church
in that city was much surprised Sunday
night when Rev. DR.. Yancey, the pas.
tor, introduced Gen. Abe Buford with
the remark that the old turfman would
deliver y short address in lieu of the
evening discourse.
Gen. Bufurd had something to say in
regard to the Church and the turf Tho
drift ofh argument was that church
mem bers could conscientiously visit the
races. Gen. Buford's position as
summed up is just this. The race
horse is too important factor in the
commercial prosperity OF Kentucky, Il
State which is world famous for its
b.ooded stock, 10 he ignored by relig-
ious element because of the mismanage-
merit of some of the race tracks and be.
cause some people bet On the races.
The church must not drive men away
because they believe in horse racing
as necessary to the Improvement of the
breed but should rather strive to have
tho evils now connected with the sport
remedied. The general said that there
were some evils which existed on East
ern courses which do not exist in Ken
lucky, aud in his remarks he paid a
compliment to the Louisville Jockey
Club for its nenevolence IN donating
a large sum of money to the yellow few.

Kew UOrsse Greeley Once Lost
Els Shoss.

l
The St. Louis Republican, in rscen
| issne, says:
About the year Of 1870, when Arthur
Barrett was President of the f. ir Asso
citation, MIR. Greeley accepted an invita-
ton to deliver the annual address in tn
amphitheatre at the Fair grounds. Col
Todd WAS chairman of the reception
com mittee, and after the close Of th'
address escorted the speaker TO his room
at the Southern HOtel, where he bad,
him good -byeas Mr.. Greeley was t.
leave the city early on the following
morning Before leaving him, however
Colonel Todd said:
"Well, Mr.. Greeley, trust that dur
ing your stay here every thing mas beer
done for your comfort, and that every
thing has been satisfactory to you.
Eyes replied Mr Greeley slowly and
with considerable hesitancy, "evsry
thing has been pleasant AS L could have
desired, except the old gentle
man looked sadly down at his fest, and
after Drlef pause resumed, "excepl
that some one stOle my shoes last
night"
"Stole your shoes" echoed Colonel
Todd in astonisnmeut, also surveying
MI Greeley's feet,
YES" replied Mr.. Greeley with a
sigh and moving his teet uncomfortably
"Ges, | left them outside my door last
night and some one walked off with
them. But new pair was leftln place
OF the old ones, and that's what troubles
me. The cid ones were easy aud com
Portable, but the new ones hurt my

zone might be pacdoned," said Col.
Todd, "tor wanting to step into your
SHOES. Perhaps some one wanted them
~ souvenirs.
This was intended for a compliment,
but Mr.. Greeley was too much interes-
ted in his feet " noviCe 1t. He only said,
"Porhaps 80, but l would very much
prefer my old ones TO these, and wish
they had taken something Else as a
souvenir.
The next morning the old gentleman
limped down stairs and took carriage
tor The depot, carrying away with HIN
probably u very untavorable impression
oi the souvenir hunters Of St. Louis.
Several weeks elapsed before the mys.
terry or the stolen shoes was solved. 1t
was then ascertaineu that a colored
man named Wilkinson, who was one Of
the Oarbers at the Southern, had really
taken Mr.. Greeley's shoes As memen.
toes OF the man who had worked so ac-
lively and earnestly for the freedom of
the negroes. In speaking OF the matter
to Colonel Todd, Wilkinson said that he
was walking along the hall near Mr..
Greeley's room, aud seeing the shoes
standing outside the door, the idea
s,rucS him that they would be just the
things 70 give to tho culldren to remind
them OF mm who had done no much tor
the COlored man. He therefore TOOK
them, hurried out of the hotel and went
to a shoe store. where ne purchased a
pair Of much better shoes Of the same
SIZE as the old ones and returning TO the
hotel put the former wner1 the latter
had stood. He thought that fair ex-
chanse was no robsery, and telt that he
was giving much more III actual value
than he was receiving. Wilkinson is
dead, but the shoes are probably now
in ST. Louis. 1T is understood that
several rellC hunters a4e looking for
them.
