Loaded with Speeches the Subject-Get-
ting Anxious for Their Passage.
Special to tho indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The regular press
report tells about all2there is to say of the
record to-day on the tariff bills. The House
is slashing away at its bill, and the Senate Is
longer coming to vote on its bill than was
Anticipated. 1t begins to look very much
as though the grand seigneures would not
get through before Friday. Senators Call
and George are loaded up for big speeches
when the revenue section comes up for dis
cussion, and Others expect to follow to the
same strain. Southern statesmen will at
tack the banks, and insist the proposed
amendments to the existing law are an I'M
Just discrimination against the poor, and
that they are directly in the interests of
consolidated capital. This phase of the dis
cussion will prolong the agony unexpected
". As matter of course the House
will not have any object
in cutting short the consideration of the
bill until it is known certainly what the
Senate is going to do. The earnest workers
for the passage OF a bill in the House this
session have counted noses and ascertalned
to their satisfaction that they have votes
enough to adopt the Kasson resolution when
ever they want to, and rush the tariff meas
ure through under pressure. The high pro-
tectionists say this cannot be done. but they
have moderated their tone considerably of
late. Some of them say they will not oppose
the Kasson plan of choking off debate, hut
that they will trust their cause to the confer
ence committee and loyalty support any re-
port it may make. They are realizing the
folly of their campaign, and several of their
leaders are becoming rather anxious than
otherwise to have bill passed this session.
They had rather take what they can get from
a Republican Congress than trust to the
next, which will be apt to deal out cold COM
fort in allopathic Doses

McDoNALD,s ASPIRATIONS.
His Presidential Boom Being Tenderly
Cared for by His Friends.

srHrf7i a. Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. lex Senator Nc
Donalds friends in Washington are nursing
his presidential boom tenderly and judi
ciously. They profess to feel greatly encour-
aged, and say that he is developing great and
unexpected strength, not only in the South,
where he has a right TO look for a helping
hand, but from the East and Middle States as
well. They claim that strong Mcdonald
sentiment has sprung up in Pennsylvania,
and that the vote of that State and several
others which will instruct for Hancock will
come to him after casting a complimentary
vote for the General.

GENERAL AND PERSONAL.
Soldiers Homesteads and Railroad Land
Grants.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-The Secretary of
the Interior has decided, in the case of Julia
D. Graham vs. the Hastings e. Dakota Rail-
road Company, that homestead entry made
by soldier in the service of the United
States pursuant to the provisions of the act of
March 81, 1864, of lands within the granted
limits of a railroad grant, such entry having
been extant both at the date of the grant and
when the company's right Hereunder at
structive or virtual abandonment" is prima
facie valid, although alleged by the company
to be void alb initio, and excerpts such lands
from the operation of the railroad grant. 1t
is also held that in the administration of
homestead laws as amended by the act Of
June s. 1872, the soldiers service should be
construed as equivalent to all interests and
purposes 10 residence for the same period

RIVERS AND HARBoRs.
Small Prospect Of Appropriation-The
Money Not Needed.
L.. 49,

Small Prospect Of an AppropriatiOn-The
Money Not Needed.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The general i'm
preston prevails that the river and harbor
bill reported to-day by Mr., Page, of Cali
forBia. calling for 1881, 900, will not be
pushed to a successful issue this session.
There is large unexpended balance in the
treasury from the last appropriation, and as
Secretary Lincoln is showing no disposition
TO throw away public money trying to make
Inavigable streams out of brooks, the jobbers
are not SO greedy as usual They might pos
sibly log-roll another steal through Congress-
but they cannot get their hands on the money
without the approval of the Secretary of
War. Their ardor has cooled. The testimony
given before the river commission by experts
touching various plans for improving the
Mississippi river, is of such contradictory
character that Congress knows less than it
did before the inquiry began as to the best
way of spending money on the big river, and
twill quietly get out of the dilemma by doing
nothing until it has further light Engineers
generally favor the levee system because it is
ment. Planters along the river also want q
leyee built at government expense to protect
their plantations from the annual overflow
Old river men say that money spent in at
tempts to straighten narrow dykes and
deepen the channel will be thrown
away, but that if such work
is entered upon it should not
begin at the mouth TO shut up any of the
outlets into the gulf as Eads has done They
say it is like pinching the nose of a teapot
and turning fire stream into the mouth of
the We sci and expecting ali the water to
flow through the diminished aperture which
was too small originally. The delegations
from the Southwest are for appropriations
on general principles, but they are candid
enough to admit privately that they haven't
much faith in any of the improvement
schemes. The mound builders had the only
thoroughly successful plan of fighting
foundations known to man, and many
planters are copying after them on modest
scale, by throwing up earthen platforms
upon which their families and live stock can
take shelter during periods of overflow.

SENATOR FERRY.

The Reports of Conspiracy to Defeat His
Reelection.
Special to tho Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb l3.-The reports which
have been put in circulation against Senator
Ferry are taking on more than ever the color
of conspiracy TO defeat him for reelection.
Few of those who know him take any stock
in the charges against the firm. There is very
little probability of his reelection, however,
tact which makes the attacks on his per-
sonal honor all the more cruel and unneces-
sary at this juncture. 1t is thought here that
either General Palmer, of Detroit; Represent
ntive Lacey, of Charlotte, or Judge Whitney,
of Grand Haven, will succeed him.

Terre Hsute Comes to thu Front with Sem

Special to the Indianapolis Journal


Terre Hsute Comes to tina Front with Sem
sationaI Breach Of Promise Suit.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE Feb. ia sensational
breach-of- promise case was developed here
this afternoon in the filing OF the complaint
of Cecilia Devlin, young and handsome fe-
male of easy virtue, better known as Cecilia
Michaels, against Dr. James I. Langhead, for
$4,000 damages for failing to marry her as
he had promised. The especially interesting
feature of the case is that Langhead, who is
one of the leading physicians and ex-coroner
of the county, was married yesterday to Mrs
Martha Clutter, a handsome and wealthy
young widow of this city. For long time
the defendant was very intimate with Miss
Devlin, or Michaels, and report was that they
were to be married, but he finally threw
her overheard for the beautiful widow.
This aroused the anger of the
Michaels girl, and she proceeded
to make things warm for the Doctor ana her
successful rival. In company with a female
friend, both being under the influence OF
liquor, she visited her rivals residence and
created considerable excitement. Another
time she met her ex-lover on the street and
abused him, and he knocked her down. She
quieted down after this, and left soon after
for Kansas City, from which place she re-
turned several weeks ago with the avowed
intention of making things interesting to the
parties concerned. The present suit is the
result of her announcement. The complaint
in the case is'quite lengthy and very flowery,
and states that the plaintiff felt that she and
defendant could travel life's stormy main,
the one with the other, in peace harmony
and love. In another place she says defend
ant called her "the apple of his eye" his
Gown true love" without whom life would
be a burden. Miss Michaels has engaged the
best counsel, and will push her case on the
return of Dr. Langhead and his bride, who
are spending the honeymoon in Illinois.
An Important Witness for the Defense in
the GOUsar-Mandler Case.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE, Feb. 13.-The most important
witness for the defense in the Gougar-Man-
dler case was examined to-day. His name is
Charles H. L. Poock, and he is barber by
trade. He swore that he saw Captain Wal
lace and Mrs. Cougar go to Wallace's office
on the night of Nov. 49, he was close enough
to see them plainly, and recognized them
readily. His testimony did not waver
anywhere, and he did not once dispute him
self on cross-examination. Several witnesses
were examined also relative to general ru-
NOR regarding Mrs. Cougars reputation for
chastity in relation to Wallace, all of whom
swore that the rumors were many and gem
eral The defense will occupy two or three
days yet with their witnesses.
1t is intimated that General l. N. Stiles of
Chicago, may materialize as volunteer coun-
sci for Mrs. Cougar before the trial is ended.
He was in the city last week, and his silver
tongue may yet be heard before the case
goes to the jury.
