In response 10 a resolution from
the Senate, calling for all documents
and papers relating to the manage
ment of the Office of a Republican
official removed, Attorney General
Garland, by direction of the Presi-
dent, replied that it was not consid-
cred that the public interests would
be promoted by complying. This
means that the President wants the
Republican Senate TO understand
that he is President Of the United
States and intends to do as he please'
about making appointments. The
Senators of both parties will caucus
on the strength of this fiat refusal
the Democrats to congratulate them
selves that Mr.. Cleveland has back
bone aud the Republicans to decide
what they will do about it.

THE GOLD BRICK sw1ND1E.
VIM. H. Howard Indicted for De-
frauding Oscar F. Noel.

%Noch'ihN DoihSAs
w. II. Howard, alias Dan Davis,
alias L. j. uennessy, alias Dan Brown
alias j. Ii. VanDorn, arrived here
yesterday in custody of Detective c.
w. Page, of the Springfield, ILL.,, CEN
trail detective agency. Howard is
wanted in this and several other cit
les on the charge of working the
gold brick swindle on number of
people. Detective Page having re-
ceived description of the man from
the chief of detectives of this city got
on his track at St. Louis and followed
him to Atlanta, Ga, where he arrest
ell him. Howard was arraigned before
Justice Hinton yesterday afternoon
and was committed to Jail in default
of $4,000.
Last November Howard came to
Nashville and sought an interview
with Mr.. Oscar +. Noel. When in
the presence of that gentleman How
ard said he was not the man he was
looking for. lie said he had been
searching for his friend long time,
i, but had about despaired of ever find
ing him. He told Mr.. Noel that he
' would make one more effort to find
his friend, and if lie failed he would
return to him for advice. Howard
, returned in three or four days and
: informed Mr.. Noel that he was from
Arizona. He said his friend for whom
he was searching for was wealthy,
and he wanted him to help him in a
certain matter. He then proceeded
to tell Mr.. Noel about rich gold
mine of which he knew. 1t belonged
to an old Indian, and he had persua-
:, ded the Indian to take partner. Il
: Mr.. Noel would go with him he
+, weuld show him some specimen
>. bricks taken from the mine, and also
Q introduce him to the old Indian.
, This was consented to and the two
, men paid visit to Hopkinsville, Ky.
= but when they arrived there they
found that the Indian was sick an(
:" had removed the bricks. Howart
said to make it more convenient h
would arrange to have the Indial
- come to Nashville. This was accor
dinghy done and the bricks were bur
! led about five miles from the city
Mr.. Noel went out the next afternoo
and saw the bricks. Howard had
drill ready and bored into the brick
in several places, preserving the CLIP
= pings in piece of paper. Thes
~ clippings, or rather some real gol
=, clippings which had been substitute
4 were brought to the city aud show
to jeweler, who pronounced ther
- genuine.
" The Indian agreed to give Mr. Noe
=. one-t third interest in the mine if h
would furnish $4,000. This wa
agreed to and the two bricks, SUI
posed to be valued at $4,000, wei
left with Mr.. Noel as collateral. TIL
$6,00Owere paid over to the two SHARP
ers and they left. The next da
Mr.. Noel received letter from How
ard telling him the bricks were bras
and that he might return part

ard"
At the station-house yesterday eve
ming Howard made full confession
of the swindle. Detective Page will
receive 5000 reward for the capture
of Howard.
Mr., o. f. Noel is president of the
Nashville Cooperage Company and
wealthy man. Mr.. Noel identified
Howard at the Jail to-day.
1t was learned at 2 O'Clock that the
grand jury had found a true bill
against Howard, charging him with
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.

that South would allow himself to
be re-instatcd aud at once resign af-
ter drawing his back pay. His friends
deny this, and it is likely that he
will hold on if he gets in. The Com
missioners will not act until they are
officially notified and will not act at
all if the Legislature will amend the
Statutes as they ask. Capt. Taylor
will not give up the keys until he is
notified to do so by the Commission
ers and thus the matter stands.
How will it all end? Time alone
can tell. We will have to wait pa
tieptly for solution to the problem,

THE HOUSE.

1t was not our intention to criticise
when we began these notes, but
we cannot refrain from saying that
there is noticeable scarcity of
statesmen in the House. OF course
where there are 100 men in any body
there are bound to be some who
were not cut out for great men.
There are II Republicans and most
of them are clever, clear-headed fell
lows who 20 about their business in
quiet, gentlemanly way, rarely ever
speaking of political differences. One
young man felt called upon to intro
duce a resolution looking to the bet
terment of the "poor down-trodden
darkey's" condition, but the House
knocked all the political capital out
of the scheme by unanimously refer
ring the matter to the proper COM
mittees. There are q number of good
lawyers in the House, but some of
the best members are young fellows
who are serving their first terms
however, a few of these are marring
their usefulness by jumping up on
all occasions whether they have any
thing to say or not. Probably one
third of the members are men Of
sense and capable of doing more thar
draw their per diem, but these arr
divided and chickering's and antago
nisms are impeding the transaction
of business. We doubt if there are owe
thirty men in the House who could
frame bill of the simplest character
4 Many of the members are good, cleve
men, of limited education and proba
bly, know how to run their farm
successfully, but they made a mis-
, take in aspiring to their present posi-
, lions.
} The lobbyist is in his glory an
some poor fellows are worried t
death. We heard some of them sa
they wanted to 20 home by the frs

THE SENATE.

The handsome Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Capt. Hindman, presides over
the Senate with dignity and grace
The body is composed of men all
along from 30 to 10 years of age,
though we should judge the average
age 10 be not far from 40 years. Only
four of the 3S Senators are Republic
cans. Senator Feland is one of the
ablest men in the Senate and when
he speaks gets the attention of all
who hear him. We heard him in
two speeches and we were glad Ia
see that Christian was well represent
ed. In one speech he advocated the
High License Liquor Bill and in the
other he opposed the continuance Of
the Superior Court, Senator Berry
of Newport, took of his collar, rolled
up his sleeves and made set speech
against the Dixon Bill, but Mr.. Fe'
land answered him in such a forciblt
speech that the whisky advocates
were convinced that the opponents o.
the Bill would have no easy time de
feating tin at least one branch O.
the Assembly.

UP AT FRANKFORT.
THE PENITENTIARY.

There has never been a time in the
history of the state when the State
Prison was in a better condition than
Il has been recently. There are over
!, 100 convicts, only about 500 of
whom are in the prison walls; the
others are working out under con-
tracts of the lessee firm Mason,
Foard & Co. Every department was
inspected and everywhere the most
scrupulous neatness and order were
found. But few inyalids were in the
hospital and those who were there
were not seriously indisposed. The
fact was developed that convicts are
not required TO work unless they are
in the enjoyment of the best of health
and all who were talked with said
they were kindly treated by the au-
thorities. There are ITO life prison
ers in the prison, these not being
allowed to leave the Enclosure to
work under contracts. The oldest
convict in point of confinement has
been in the prison for 10 years
There are 80 women, 6 of them white
One of these-Josephine Fritz, Of
Union-is a life prisoner sent fol
completely in the murder for which
Moses Cation was hanged. Since hei
arrival she has given birth to a chile
which is now several months old
She held it in her arms when seeI

is still living in Frankfort. The fe
male convicts do but little beside
