LONDON, July 11.-AlthOugh the joint
committee of the House of Lords and the
House of Commons rejected the Marquis
of Landsdowne's report in favor of a tun-
mel under the English channel, the ma
iority Of the committee differed so much
relative to their reasons for voting against
it, that they refrain from presenting any
collective statement of their views to
Parliament.
The pauper emigrants who were re-
turned to ireland by order of the Amerl-
lean authorities on the steamers Fuernes-
sia and Spain, were landed at Queens
town yesterday. All accounts agree in
describing them as a wretched class of
people. One family consisting of a man
and his wife and five children, were left
on the wharf for three hours before the
officials, who had not been advised of their
coming, provided for their wants.
Mr.. Bradlaugh has written to the
Speaker of the House of Commons, asking
him whether the act of presenting him
self in the House to take his seat would
be disturbance of proceedings. He has
also written to the Sergeant-at- Arms.

Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus Damon. of Wan

visiting in the CITY, guests ofMrs. Francis
Lawrence. Mrs. Damon, Mr.. Lawrence's
cousin, is Secretary of the Young Mems
Christian Association at his home, and a
week ago Sunday conducted the gospel
meeting of that organization in this CITY.
The severe storm of the night of the Sd
and the threatened storm of the morning
of the 4th prevented Mr.. Damon and his
friends from taking an excursion into
the country, and in the afternoon they
rode back and forth on the street cars,
having a merry time. Just after six
they entered the house laughing about
the afternoon experience, and were met
by the telegram, ''YOur son Willis is
killed by lightning" Willis was married
last April, and was an only child. A sim
gular circumstance can be briefly related
Its truth can be easily proved: the con-
clusiOns are left to the reader. When
Mrs. Damon came down to breakfast on
the morning of the 4th; she appeared
somewhat anxious and said, stOh. / had
such bad dream; thought a little bOy

Governor Butler Frees His Mind on
the Subject.
Boston, July 1.-THE majority of the
Tewksbury Committee reported to the
House this morning that Thomas j.
Marsh, Jr., refuses to produce the memo
randum books showing the disposal of
bodies. The facts of the case are recited
for the House to act on. The
minority report is presented, saying:
"The committee has all the essential
facts that Marsh's memorandum con-
tains the names of bodies dissected; that
Governor Butler used names furnished by
Hall, one of the witnesses, in way con-
trary to decency; that no chance for
similar course with other memOrandas
should be allowed, and that the matter
be dropped. AT private meeting of the
committee a question arose on dividing
the remaining time so as to give Counsel
lor Brown an opportunity to reply to the
rebuttal evidence of Gov. Butler. The
latter protested earnestly, saying too
much time had already been wasted in
arguing on Browns objections. He hoped
the Legislature would allow the commit
tee to go on at its leisure.
The Chairman reminded Gov. Butler
that he, in his recent message to that
body, had said the purposes of the inves-
tigatiOn had been accomplished.
The Governor vigorously maintained
his right to the remaining time, and final
ly left in rather an excited state, saying
that the committee could do as it pleased,
but he would be heard elsewhere. 1t was
then voted to close the evidence tomorrow
afternoon, leaving Friday at the disposal
of counsel

INDIAN POLITICS.
The CherOkees on the Eve of a Ter
rifle Political Battle.

Little Rock Special to Courier, Journal.
An Indian Territory special saws an
exciting canvass is now in progress i'm
the Cherokee Nation, preparatory to the
general election, which occurs on Au0usf
q. AT the date named the following Off
GERS and members of the Legislature will
be chosen by majority vote, all Chero-
KEGS of legal age taking part in the
election: Principal Chief and assist
ant, for term of four years; Judges
for the Middle, Northern and South
ern Judicial Circuits, and Judge.
Clerk. Sheriff and Prosecuting ATTORNEY
for the nine districts, each of whom
holds office for two years; fifty-eight mem
bers of the National Council and sixteen
members of the General Council fer a
term of two years. Two tickets are in
the field, one styling itself the National
party and the other the Union party. The
first named is led by Hon. Dennis Bushv-
head, Chief Of the Cherokee Nation. and n
candidate for reelection. He is con-
splcuous figure among the Indians. and his
administration has been able and viz
Orous. The UniOnists have nominated
Hon. Charles Thompson. He is also
striking character, combining in hioh
degree the qualities of a leader and states
man. In nearly all the nine districts the
factions have separate tickets, and the
contest is very bitter. The Thompson
faction furiously assail the administra-
ton of Bushyhead, charging that it is
corrupt, illiterate and nOn-progressive.
The veto of the lease of the Cherokee strin
for grazing purposes by Chief Bushyhead
at the recent special session of the
Cherokee Legislature is being used to
his detriment, although the lease was
passed over his veto and is now In effect
The UniOnists claim that they will estab-
lish a better government than the Chero-
KEGS have ever enjoyed, and that the law
will be more justly administered. They
claim that they will elect a majority OF
the members OF the National and General
Councils, as well as the chief. The Ma
tional or Bushyhead faction claim to
represent their Indian interests. They
assert that they will place the means
of education within the reach of
every child in the Cherokee Nation. will
support the schools and religion and hold
the Constitution and local laws supreme.
They oppose any attempt TO put the Ma
tiOn under the control of the United States
Government or adopting the policy or
creed Of the Democratic or Republican
parties, and demand that treaties be-
tween the Cherokees and the United
States be strictly observed. The adher-
ents of Bushyhead confidently predict his
election by large majority. Barbecues
and meetings are being held at all public
points and party spirit is running high.
