The House of Renresentntires.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-J. w. Dorsheimer
resented a memorial from the bondhoders,
of the Northern Pacific railroad company
praying to be heard before the committee on
public lands on the bill declaring the forfeit
ure Of the land granted, and asking congress
to protect their interest. Referred.
The house went into committee of the
whole, j. w. Wellborn in the chair, on the
Indian appropriation bill. Mr.. Ellis briefly
explained the provisions of the bill He
said there was but little legislation on the
bill, but one provision was Incorporated, ap-
propriating So, 600 for the detection and
prosecution of men who surreptitiously sell
whisky to the Indians. This is con-
sidered very important feature
of the bill, and it was earnestly
urged by the commissioner of Indian affairs
Another item of general legislation, was one
requiring each Indian agent to submit an
annual census of the Indians at his agency
This information would prove of great value
to future appropriation committees, in max
inc provisions for schools and school houses
He believed the Indians should be given a
standing in courts, so they could enforce the
performance of contracts, and that in course
of time, they should be raised to the dignity
of citizenship. The Indians at present did
not feel any interest in the government, and
he did not wonder at it, after a hundred
wears of dishonor which had characterized its
action towards them.
Mr.. Throckmorton argued in favor of Civ
ing the five civilized nations territorial gov
ernment, and a delegate in the house, and
granting land in sseveralty to the heads of
families in other tribes, and giving them a
patent to the same, when they showed dis
position to remain on the land and cultivate
it. The bill was read by paragraphs for
amendment.
Mr.. Throckmorton offered amendments
striking out the clause appropriating S12, 500
for the pay of five Indian inspectors, and in
serting proviso that the secretary of war
shall detail five officers, not under the grade
of captain in the army, as Indian inspectors.
Committee rose, and Mr.. Randall said ::
'sWe have the honor of having with us, on
the floor to-day, Gen. Grant There are no
words needed to an American, in so far
as he is concerned. I think
we should do ourselves honor
by taking recess of fifteen minutes to give
the members an opportunity of taking him
by the hand" (Applause.) a recess having
been taken by unanimous vote, Speaker Car
Isle escorted Gen. Grant to the space in
front of the clerks desk, where, leaning on
one of his crutches he received the respects
of the members. The Speaker stood bv his
side, and introduced to him the representa-
tives with whom he had not been previously
acquainted. When the house reassembled
the Speaker laid before it message from the
President, recommending an appropriation
OF S10O, 600 for the protection of the leyees of
the lower Mississippi river. Adjourned.

s'What will the Democrats do in the event
of his refusal to be their nominee?"
''Then they will be at sea, and no one,
even the most prophetic, could foresee the
programme. But the demand for Mr.. Tilden
is so universal that the convention will be
obliged to heed the voice which cries for his
nomination. I am certain there is not one
Democrat in 100 who believes that the next
contest can be won with any other man than

CHICAGO, April 2.-TO-day was one Of bit
.er disappointment to the bulls who expected
the stormy weather to bring outside orders
to buy, but the outside orders didn't materi-
alize, and closing prices showed a decline all
around. Even corn, ordinarily unaffected
by superficial causes, was remarkably weak
and dull. The grain markets are mainly
controlled by localinfuences, opening strong
on bad weather and closing weak when the
sun came out. Wheat attracted the largest
att1 ntion, although fair business was done
in corn, and closing prices on both articles
were nearly at the lowest price of the season.
There was hardly a specuator of any note
in tle wheat pit, and the small scalpers were
rat Ter lacking in energy, under the popular
belief that clique of strong operators were
getting control OF the cash and May wheat
here as well as at Milwaukee, for the purpose
of a bull turn in the market all around.
That cereal opened strong at 884, with weak
sh jrts buying freely, and for active trading
was liberal, but there seemed to be plenty of
long wheat for sale at SSc or over, and as
soon as the weak shorts had filled, the mar
ket fell off to S7115c and closed at 87Hc.
The decline in corn occasioned some sur
prise in the face of the small receipts. Only
seventy-five cars were received today, which,
with the usual percentage of low grade cars,
would naturally be expected TO sustain prices.
Believers in the article, however, see no
cause for alarm, and talk of 60c corn in
June as though present Indications were the
most propitious. A rumor of contemplated
shipment of 100000 bushels of corn from
St. Louis had some effect in causing the
weakness, but the rumor could not
be traced to any reliable source and is
generally discredited.
There is absolutely no demand for pro-
visions, but prices don't go down proper
tionately, because they are controlled by the
three men who are supposed to own the entire
stock of pork and ribs. When Armour,
Cudahy and Plankington see tit to turn their
pork and ribs into cash it is expected that
prices will drop, and not before. Some hog
men estimate that if no pork were to be
packed this year, Armour 81 Co. might make
small profit at present prices.
Business at the stock yards was fairly
actiye, considering the light receipts and
bad weather for outdoor operations during
:he morning. Prices on all descriptions
Df stock were about the same as yesterday,
With the exception of a slight advance on
logs, which was lost before the day was
over. The following table shows the stocks
