RICHMOND. VA, MONDAY, MARCH 5. 1883.

Stanfield, daughter OF William Stanfeld,
one Of the men implicated. Old man
Quackenbush was afraid that either Stan
iield or Archer would expose the crime
on account of the bad feeling that ex-
lists between them since Archers alleged
murder OF Miss Stanfeld. He, there
fore, in order to save his own neck went
before the grand jury, confessed the
crime and gave the names OF all the par
ties implicated Stanfeld and Archer were
placed in Jail. 1t seems that Quackenbush
heard Archer and Stsnfeld quarrel
ing short time ago, aud threats were
made that the murder OF Ballard would
he exposed, and Quackenbush to save
himself turned States evidence. Rel
atiyes of John G.. Jones declare that he
was in the army all through the war,
serving in the Twenty fourth Indiana
Regiment There are several John
Joneses in Martin county, and the above
would seem to indicate the wrong Jones

What the Federal Legislature is Likely
to DO this Week.

WAsuINGToN, ID. c.. March 4 After
the morning hour in the House tomorrow
the Committee on Elections will call up
the contested case Of McDuilie vs.. David
son, from the Fourth District of Alabama.
Two reports on this case were submitted
on February 2jih, The partisan lines being
drawn and the majority reporting In favor
of Davidson, while the manOrity report
declares McDuilic entitled TO the seat. The
committee will ask for seven DAYS in
which 10 debate the case. and il is believed
that both Monday and Tuesday will be
consumed by it, Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday have been specially sci
aside for the consideration of bills re-
ported from the Committee on Indian
Affairs 1t is not likely, however, that
more than two of these three DAYS will be
left for the committee. Among the
measures 10 be considered is the one
opening the great Sioux Indian rcserya-
lion in Dakota
Friday il private bill day, and Saturday
viii be consumed with miscellaneous
matters The pension, military academy
and diplomatic appropriation bills are on
the calendar, but owing 10 the absence OF
members OF the committees which fe-
ported them. it is not probable that any
Of them will be taken up during the
week. Mr.. Randall intends to introduce
his tariff bill on Tuesday, the day on
which the Committee on Ways and Means
will begin the consideration OF the adj
ministration tariff bill introduced on last
Thursday.
In the Senate tomorrow Chairman
Allison of the Committee on Appropria-
tions intends to call up for consideration
the deficiency appropriation bill. When
this has been completed. the Senate will
resume consideration Of the G.. A. X.
disability pension bill, which is unfinished
business. The next work in order is the
under valuation bill reported February
l4th by Mr. Allison from the Committee
on Finance.
Chairman Sherman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations saws he will call up
his Chinese immigration bill at the ear
list day possible but that he does not
think there will be any time for it during
the present week.
