CLEVELAND AND HIS PLANS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-President and
Mrs. Cleveland will find this as notable a
week as any they have spent in the white
house. Their impatience to get out of
the house, now that the time has come
so near, is manifest They have both
assumed they have decided to leave there
on Friday. They will be Secretary
and Mrs. Fairchild's guests until
the 5th of March, when they
go to New York. This action viii
be thoroughly appreciated by the
Incoming president, as it will relieve him
of the embarrassment of sending his extra
baggage anywhere but at once TO the
white house. 1t is known that the presi-
dents determination to expedite his de-
parture from the mansion was the remem-
brance of what occurred when he himself
was the object of popular attention four
years ago, and the small amount of inter
est shown at the same time to President
Arthur. The president has remarked lately
in discussing this very subject, that he
never will forget the expression on Ar
thurs face the night of the Inauguration
ball. when everybody's eyes were centered
on his successor. 1t is presumed that Mr.
Cleveland will give as few similar oppor-
tunities to the public the coming week as
possible, and be desires in no sense to de-
tract from the interest which always sur
rounds a new president.
Mrs. Cleveland will receive specially in
vited guests from to II O'Clock, and has
made various appointments to meet peo-
pie at other times during the week. In
spite of all the demands on her time, the
increased social duties and her prepara-
tiOns for her departure from the
city, that unfailing courtesy and thought
fulness in attending to the small wants
of the people who wish to see her or ask
her interest in charitable matters, does not
abate a particle Both the president and
his wife have been beseiged with invita-
tions in anticipation of their prolonged
stay in this city. These hOspitalities have
come not only from official friends, but
perhaps the most fattering from strong
Republican households.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The extra ses-
sion problem seems TO be well settled. Few
Republicans now believe that an extra ses-
sion will be called before next September
or October, though the weight of opinion
is that one will be advisable in the fall.
Two Republicans are now i'll whose pres
ence is necessary ii the house is to be or
ganized by the Republican at once
after the inauguration. They are
Nutting, of New York, and Laird, of Ne
braska. 1t was hinted that word had been
sent by General Harrison that under ex-
listing circumstances he felt that an extra
session would be found unnecessary imme-
diately after March 4, if the Republicans
would assist in eXpediting imperative Leg
islation. The gentlemen on the Republi-
can side who would most likely know il
any such message had been forwarded,
stated that they had not been advised of
any such communication from the presi-
dent-elect.

WHAT EGAN knows OE PIGGOTT.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 26.-Patrick Egan,
of this city. who supplied many OF the let
ters that have proven Piggott forger and
liar in the Times libel suit, recited some
further facts as to Piggott's character to-
day. Mr. Egan stated that in 1859, in
Dublin at public meeting, he proposed
that a collection be taken up all
over Ireland for the benefit of the wives
and families OF the Irish men
then in jail for participating in Fenlan
uprisings. At that time Plgott was con-
ducting a newspaper called the lrlshman.
Pigott Immediately took up the matter IN
his paper making rouslng appeal for
helm for Irish patriots and collected some
$4,000. For this no accounting was ever
made, and when Pigott and his secretary
uuarreled afterwards he schemed to have
the secretary made political outcast so
that no information could be secured
of the missing funds. Again in
1870, John K. Casey, correspondent at
Dublin for the Boston Pilot, took sick and
died in want. At the time of his death
there was money due him from the Pilot.
When Casey's relatives looked IL up they
found that the money had been forwarded
in care of P;gott, and that Plgott had
forged Casey's name 20 the draft and
collected and used the money himself;
that he paid over under threats OF prose
cution.
In 1875, Mr. Egan relates that he was
conducting negotiations on behalf Of
certain Home Rulers for the pur-
chase of Pigott's paper the Irish
man. He found upon investI-
eating the books of the office that Pigott
had altered and doctored the books TO show
heavy earnings for the purpose of defraud-
ing the purchaser by false representations.
These are samples of Pigott's character,
urbicb Mr. EppO knows from DerSOnal eX-
perience, and which he declares are only a
few of the charges susceptible of proof
that can be brought against one upon
whose testimony the Times rested its case.

HOUSE.

r1OOOE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Having become
aware from past experience that the rule
setting apart the hour between 10 and II
for consideration measures by unanimous
consent had became a dead letter by
reason of filibustering, very few members
were in attendance when the house was
called to order this morning.
A few messages from the president
retoing various pension bills having been
read and referred, the speaker proceeded
30 clear his table. The table having been
cleared Of business, the speaker,
acting in conformity with the
special order, recognized Mr.. Abbott, of
Texas, who called up bill for the erection
of a public building at Fit. Worth, Tex.
But the recognition availed him little, for
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, was instantly on
his feet with motion for half an hours
recess. In view of this motion and con-
scious of the fact that the time of the
house would be frittered away until IL
o'clock, Mr.. Randall asked unanimous
consent TO report from the committee on
appropriations the sundry civil appropria-
lion bill with senate amendments.
But enraced at notification of special
order Mr.. Biggs, of California, whose name
stands high on the list of recognitions,
objected, and the house relapsed
characterized it so much of late. No effort
was made to calling the contested election
rase and the house went into committee of
the whole CMr. Dockery of Missouri, in the
chair on the deficiency appropriation bill.
The bill was passed.
The conference report on the pension ap-
preparation bill was presented and
agreed TO.
The house then went into committee of
The whole (Air. DocKery Of Missouri, in the
chair,) on the Indian appropriation bill.
Mr.. KenRedy, Of Ohio referred to =
speech upon southern elections made by

had been made until a few days ago when
Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, had

The gentleman from Georgia has said that

he said that the committee on elections

ninth congresses showed that the

man elected by the same sort of fraud and
infamy which had returned Mr.. Crisp tc

Mr.. Crisp, was it not an infamy 10 appoint
Mr.. Turner? In the fiftieth congress Mr.
Turner did not desire to continue at the
head of that committee aud asked the
speaker to relieve him. He was trans
ferred to the committee on ways and
means. Mr.. Crisp, instead of getting the

country their Lellb berate and wilful inac-
curacy A charge had been made by the
gentleman in speech delivered in July
last-a charge that he could not evade
by pratinC about - his loyalty.
No assault had been made
upon that, 20 intimation had been made
that the gentleman was not true and 10y
al soldier and il was entirely out of place
for the gentleman when charged with de-
hberate Inaccuracies, TO say that he was q
soldier in the army of the union. The
gentleman had charged that the committee
on elections had been appointed by the
speaker This he Crisp had denied and
he now quoted from the Record 10 show
that the committee had been elected by
the house. The only charge be had made
charge of ignorance and he left it to
the house If he had not
submitted proof sufficient to convict the
gentleman before any jury on Gods earth.
