TUESDAYS mail brought us in
telligence to the effect that Ohio
has gone Republican by between
1900 and 10000. The Democrats
have always conceded Ohio to the
Republicans, but from the fight they
made over it, it would seem that
they were pretty badly "skeerd."

THE CHICAGO
A Steady Opening, Followed by a Decline and
Subsequent Rapid Recovery.

CHICAGO, May 16.-The markets showed steadi-
ness at the opening this morning, but a continual

by the early decline in stocks, caused a sharp de-
cline in prices, but there was a rapid recovery
afterwards. Toward the close on Change on the
afternoon board the feeling was fair and very
strong, under an improved turn tc New York

Proceedings of the Honse.

WASHINGTON, May ia bill was passed au'
thorizing the construction of bridges across the
Wisconsin, Chippewa and st. Croix rivers, il
Wisconsin.
Mr.. Willis, from the committee on rivers and
harbors, reported back the river and harbor ap
preparation bill, which was referred to the com
mittee of the whole.
The House then went into committee of the
whole on the consular and diplomatic appropria
ton bill, the pending amendment being one
offered by Mr.. Cannon for an appropriation Of
$110, 900 for contingent expenses of United
States c~onsuls, which was lost.
After debate the bill was finally laid aside
with favorable recommendation, and the com
mittee proceeded to the consideration of the
army appropriation bill.
The committee rose and reported the three
bills to the House, but no further action was
taken.
Recess was then taken till s o'clock.

Recommendations of the House Committee
on Public Lands. G7t-i
WASHINGTON, May 16.-A reportha has been sub
mitted, to accompany the bill reported from the
House committee on public lands, providing for
repeal of the presumption and timber culture
laws, and amendment Of the homestead laws.
The committee says;
We believe it should be the policy of the govern
ment to give those of our citizens who are without
homes such amount of public domain as will make
them comfortable homesteads when they enter upon
it in good faith, intending to make it their homes and
cultivate and live upon the same for a fixed period of
time; and We believe 100 acres should be the maximum
under the pre- mption, homestead and timber culture
laws. AS they now stand, one person may become
the owner of $50 acres of the public domain-16O
acres under each. This is too large an amount of
land, in our opinion, for any one person to acquire in
this manner. We think the policy of the government
should be to furnish as many Of its citizens with
comfortable homes as possible, and 160 acres is suf-
fcient to this purpose. By giving them this amount
it will not be many years until all our public domain
be taken up. The p~re-emption law was passed in
1S41, the homestead law in 1862, and the timber
culture land act in 1873. When the homestead law
was enacted, the presumption law should have been
repealed, and the timber-culture law should never have
been passed. We have therefore, in a substitute, pro
vided for repeal of the presumption and timber-culture
enactments, and amended the homestead law.

Duration of the Session. .
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The House, in com
mittee Of the whole, to-day, did more business
than has been performed at any sitting this
session. Besides finishing the consular and
diplomatic bill, the army and the District of
Columbia appropriation bills were passed; but
owing to the fact that more than one hundred
members were at the races, the bills were not
finally acted upon in the House, no quorum
being present. An agreement was made, how
ever, that a yea and nay vote should be taken
on Monday. 1t is not possible to conceive
what the idea is in passing the diplomatic and
consular bill in its present form, as it is so made
up as to certainly cripple the service.
Even the members on the Democratic
side were outspoken in denouncing
the niggardly policy outlined in the bill, and it
was only by strenuous efforts and appeals to
party fealty that the managers of the bill were
were enabled to defeat the amendments offered
by the Republican side, and that by the smallest
possible majority. 1t is not to be expected that
the Senate will consent to become a party to such
a slaughtering policy. o
Speaker Carlisle says there is no probability
that the House can get ready to adjourn before
July l. Hethinks, however, thattherew will be no
difficulty in reaching an adjournment by that
date, unless there should be a deadlock between
the two Houses. This, he fears, may be the re-
suit over some of the appropriation bills, as the
House will never concurin the Senate amendments
to the naval appropriation bill in regard to the
new cruisers. He does not believe the House
will consent to pass the diplomatic and consular
bill without important amendments, but he says
the House can get through with the remainder
of the appropriation bills this month, though the
Senate will require some time for consideration.
Referring to the talk of further attempts at
tariff legislation, Mr.. Carlisle said he did not be-
lieve anything would be done, and he doubted
the advisability of attempting any further legis-
lation on the subject at this session.

twenty-five Seats To Be Vacated at the Expi-
ration of the Present Congress.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Opportunity will be
given the legislatures the coming winter to make
quite a radical change in the Senate. Twenty
five of the Senatorial terms expire on March 3
next. They are; Senators Pugh of Alabama,
Walker of Arkansas, Farley of California,
Hill of Colorado, Plat of Connecticut, Call of
Florida, Brown of Georgia, Logan of Illinois,
Voorhees, of Indiana, Allison of Iowa, Ingalls, of
Kansas, Williams of Kentucky, Jonas of Louisi-
ana. Grooms of Maryland, Vest of Missouri, Jones
of Nevada, Blair of New Hampshire, Lapham of
New York; Vance of North Carolina, Pendleton
of Ohio, Slater of Oregon, Cameron of Pennsyl-
vania, Hampton of South Carolina, morrill, of
Vermont, and Cameron of Wisconsin.
The successors of Williams, of Kentucky; Pen
d%ieton, of Ohio, and probably one or two others.
have been selected, but the work will in nearly
every instance be lone this winter. There are
a few very able men among those whose terms
expire. Vest, of Missouri is a very strong man,
and so are Morrill,, Of Vermont; Pendleton, of
Ohio; Voorhees,, Of Indiana, and ingalls,, of
Kansas.
There will DO little change in all probability,
in the politics of the Senate, as it will be reorgan-
lied, as most of these men will be returned. A
Republican is anticipated in place of Voorhees,,
however. The term Of Senator Malone, Of Vir-
ginia, will rot expire until March 8, 1887, and
that of his colleague, Riddleberger, two years
later. John Sherman, of Ohio, will remain until
1887 before his term expires.

SUIT AGAINST J. IL. HAVERLY.
He Is Charged by His Partners with I'm
lawfully Obtaining a Sum Of Money.

NEW YORK, May 16.-From the Brooklyn
Eagle, this morning: Justice Cullen, at a special
term of the Supreme Court, granted an order of
inquest in the action by William Fl. Gale and
Louis Spader against John H. Haverly. The
plaintiffs lawyer states that John H Haverly
and William B. Birch, of minstrel fame, owned
equal interests in the Comedy Theater,
New York, formerly used by the San Fran
cisco Ministries. Haverly and Gale &
Spader subsequently formed a partnership under
the name of the international Amusement Elk
change, Haverly, as alleged, representing to
Gale & Spader that he could obtain Birchs half
interest in the theater for 81, 900. Gale &
Spader, thinking the investment profitable, re
queSted Haverly to negotiate with Birch at the
figure named. A short time afterward, Haverly
reported that Birch would not accept 81, 900,
Gale e. Spader resolved to accede
to the terms, and the money was handed to Hav-
erly, who duly reported that he had completed
the purchase for Sc, 900. Haverly, as alleged,
produced a bill of sale transferring the proper
ty, but it was observed the transfer was made to
Haverly alone, and that all the consideration
was 81. Gale and Spader sought an explanation.
Haverly said the transfer was made to him sole
ly as Burch would not have disposed of his in
terest in the theater to any other
person at so. small a figure. As
to the consideration, Haverly said
the sum of il was inserted in the bill so the pro-
fession might not know the terms on which the
bargain was made. Plaintiffs allege that it has
come to their knowledge that Haverly paid for.
Birch's interest in the theater the small sum of
$500 instead of Sc, 900. and that he has thus
come into possession unlawfully of 1000 as the
profits of his transaction. The affidavit of VIM.
B. Birch corroborates the allegation made by the
plaintiffs. Mr.. Haverly is to sail for Europe
tomorrow.

MIR. Flower and His Efforts to Secure a Pres
identlal Nomination.
Special to tire Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-If one man has made
more effort than another to secure the Demo
cratic nomination for the presidency, it is ex-
Representative Flower, OF New York. He wants
the race, and he wants it bad. He has been
wanting it for more than a year, and he has not
let the grass grow under his feet as he has been
looking around and laying the ropes. He began
it at the last session of the last Congress. Then
he was a hale and hearty good fellow, always well
met, to everybody. He is very wealthy, and
il not stingy of his gains, He Toasted his friends,
old and new, here during his last days in Con
gress. Many and many were tho nights at
Welcker's and Chamberlain's that the midnight
ar was rent with merry laughter from Flowers
wine.
But Flower did not stop with winning and din
ing for presidential favors. No, he went
further. l am told by an old newspaper man
that the fellows of the craft had handsome little
lays of sheckels from Flower, with the under
standing that they would speak of his strong
points for the nomination as occasion
offered. Somehow or other no has
gotten moro good booms from the
press of new York of late than any
other candidate, which would lead one to believe
that the Democratic prints of the East are not
above a subsidy.
1t is the impression here that if Tilden is not
nominated, Flower stands a better chance of
getting the race than any other man, as he will
likely go in with New York and several of the
Eastern States, practically solid for him Then
he is using his means to secure the successful
end 1t is known here that Tilden would first
favor Randall, then Flower: but the latter un-
questionably has a larger following than the
former. Flower is a Hendricks on the
tariff question, and has offended no one.

The Law Prohibiting Their Acceptance by
Officers of the United States,
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 16-Almost every year
there are bills offered in Congress granting
officers of the navy permission to receive from
foreign governments tokens of appreciation Of
services rendered in saving lives, etc. Under
the present laws, If an officer does a brave act
and a society or government desires to present
him with a sword Jewel or any present, Congress
must first be appealed to, and it requires the
passage of a joint resolution to give permission.
'Inevercould understand why this is so, said a
member of the foreign affairs COMMITTEES to day.
ut seems silly, yet there must be some point in
it. remember a case where a brave officer was
prevented the acceptance of a present that
seems to be shameful. About twenty-five years
ago a schooner from Argentine foundered
just outside the hafbor at Montevideo,
South America. 1t was during a terri
BILE hurricane. The crew took refuge
in the rigging. When the vessel was discovered
in the morning it was seen that four of the crew
Of five were still clinging to the masts. The
storm was so very violent that no one on shore
dared to venture out to the rescue. A United
States naval officer, in charge of the squadron
then in the harbor, and who was then on shore
visiting our consul, was informed of the ship
wreck. He went to the beach, looked at the
frighful scene, and called for volunteers, saying
that if he could obtain a sufficient number of
men to man the whale-boat, then on shore, he
would make an effort to rescue the men. Ten
American sailors responded. The task was so
hazardous it appalled, the natives; but the men
were rescued. One or two died from exposure.
"Now, that naval officer took his life in his
hand, continued the member, land for his gal
lantry and that of his men he was picked up,
and carried, and carressed, by the people there,
and applauded by the press of South America
and General Grant and his Cabinet; but he could
not accept a little tangible token from those
people without a special act"

WAsHINGToN, May 16. -Congressman DORIS
heimer, of New York, who has the address of
the tariff reform Democrats in charge, in which
it is proposed the forty-two who voted to strike
out the e%nacting clause of the Morrison bill
shall have the pleasure of knowing in what es-
TEEN they are held by others of their party who
hold views on the subject which run at right
angles, in speaking to the Journal correspond
about the ill-feeling that will be engendered by
it, expressed the belief that those who we're con-
scientious tariff reformers should not hesitate to
do their duty and explain their position before
the country, whether such expression wounded
the feelings of the anti-reformer or not.
st surely cannot cut any DEEPER said he,
than did the defeat of the Morrison bill,
which, to my mind, was the vital part of the
party's life. No, the address is not merely to
strike at those who voted against our measure,
but to express our views on the tariff. l don't
think it will leave a deeper scar or more feeling
than there is now"
1t has been the purpose of the Randall men,
ever since they organized to defeat the Morrison
bill, to issue q card explaining their position on
the tariff, but that they do not intend doing un-
til toward the close of this session. just now,
there is no less feeling among the reformers
toward those who defeated them than on the
night following the Waterloo; indeed, that feel
ing has grown into bitterness, and the chasm
that yawned then like a crack in the ground from
the drouth has broadened, and broadened, and
broadened until the st. Louis bridge would not
