THE NATIONAL INQUEST BILL.

AS further aid to secure free ballot and
a fair count in all the elections hereafter to
be held, Senator Hoar has introduced bill
providing for "National inquests," of which
the following is the full text:
SECTION l. Whenever any three citi-
zens of the United States shall, under oath,
present to any Judge of the Circuit Court,
either in term or vacation, their petition
setting forth that within the circuit for
which such Judge has jrri"diction any per-
son has been killed, or h.. sustained bodily
injury, ..or serious injury in his estate be-
cause of the race or color of such person so
killed, injured or threatened, or because
of the political opinion which such person
so killed, injured or threatened, may have
held in regard to matters affecting the gen.
eral welfare of the United States, or with
design to prevent such person so killed or
injured or threatened, or others from eX-
pressing freely such opinion, or from voting
as he or they may see fit at any election of
officers whose election is required or pro-
vided for by the Constitution or laws OF the
United States, or to influence or effect the
votes of such persons or others at such
elections, it shall be the duty of such Judge
as soon as may be to hold an inquest into
the circumstances of such killing, injury
or threatening, at such place within the
circuit as he may appoint, to cause to ne
summoned and examined before him all
such witnesses as he may think proper.
SEC. 3. Said Judge shall forthwith re-
port the evidence by him taken and his
conclusions of fact thereon to the President

pointed by Gov. Stoneman of California, to
succeed the late Senator Miller, has an
eventful history. He went to California
across the plains in 1850, and commenced
as a common laborer in the mines. Finally
he made some money, and formed a part
nership with Haggin & Tevis, and the firm
has amassed large fortune in jumping
and buying claims. They now own one Of
the largest and most profitable mines in
Butte City, NJ. T., and also mines in
Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Mexico, Idaho
and California. Mr.. Hearst is considered
the most expert prospector on the Pacific
coast, and his Judgment in regard to
mine has never yet been at fault. He is
tall, well-formed man about 55 years old.
At the time of Senator Stanford's election
in 1885, Mr.. Hearst received the compli-
mentary votes of the Democrats. He is
very wealthy man and among his real es-
tate owns 100000 acres of the finest lands in
the State, situated in San Louis Obispo.
He is the sole owner of the San Francisco
Examiner.

The Murkrille Gnqltirer.
Y9RKVILLE, s. G. 4:
THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL /, 1886.
CONGRESS-.

In the debate on the Silver question, in
the House, last Saturday, Mr.. Dargan, of
South Carolina, spoke in reputation Of the
Bland Dollar, and made strong plea for
the establishment of a single gold standard.
He occupies the same position as does Rep
resentative Hemphill on this question, a
synopsis of whose speech on the subject is
printed on the fourth page of this paper.
Foreshadowing the work of Congress the
present week, Washington letter of Sun
day says:
The unfinished business in the Senate for
the morning hour is Senator LOgan's bill to
increase the efficiency of the army. AT 2
o'clock tomorrow Senator Platt will call up
a bill to admit Washington Territory to the
family of States. Next to the two measures
mentioned the Interstate commerce bill
and the bankruptcy bill are booked for con-
sideration. Senator Wilson will continue
his watch for an opportunity to try the pas
sage of the Des Moines River settlers bill
over the Presidents veto.
In the House the friends Of the education
bill will seek to open an issue with its oppo-
nents. Mr.. Willis will report new educa-
tion bill under the call of the States and
move it's reference to some other than the
education committee. This committee has
indefinitely pigeonholed the Senate bill, and
all similar measures now before it, and its
members are expected to resist the effort to
take this subject from its jurisdiction. The
result tomorrow is looked forward to as
test of the strength of the measure in the
House. OF the fourteen regular appropria-
tion bills three have passed the House,
namely, the pension, urgent deficiency and
Indian bills.
The committee of ways and means will
probably call up for consideration during
the present week the bill relating to the
establishment of export tobacco factories,
and the committee on banking and curren-
sideration for some measure to guard against
