An Amusing Sccne In the House = The
Silcott DefaIcation as Seen Through
Different SpectacIes-Salaries
to be Refunded or Note
WASHINGTON, January 14.-In the
House to-day Mr.. Adams called up the
Silcott report, accompanied by bill appro-
priating $75, 900 to reimburse members for
losses incurred through the Silcott defalca-
ton. Mr.. Adams argued in favor of the
bill, holding that the Sergeant at Arms was
public officer, charged first by custom and
afterward by sanction of law, with the duty
of disbursing the salaries of members.
Mr.. Hemphill, of South Carolina, advo-
Gated the adoption of his bill permitting
members to bring suit in the Court of
Claims for the recovery of their salaries,
and opposed the bill of the majority be-
cause he could find no statute declaring the
Sergeant at Arms to be disbursing officer.
He quoted from a speech made by Mr.. Gar
field in the Forty-sixth Congress, in which
that gentleman said:
Now the Sergeant at Arms of this House is
not dis sbursing officer of the United States.
He is only our agent, and if he should be
robbed of, or should make away with, the
money in his possession, we, as members, would
have no recourse whatever, for the Treasurer
of the nited States holds our receipts. The
only way in the world that we could have any
recourse at all wonld be by getting Congress to
appropriate enough money to pay us over again
what we already had put into the hands of our
agent and what our agent had either lost or
stolen.
Mr.. BouteIle, OF Maine, said that Mr..
Garfield had been arguing that the system
was inefficient, and that in case of defalca-
ton there would be no remedy under the
general law, but the House would be
obliged, in equity and justice. to resort to
some special act, such as it was now resort
ing to.
Mr.. Hemphill thought the House would
not appropriate public money to pay pri-
vate debts
Mr.. Butterworth-Has my friend any
doubt that he is entitled to his pay?
Mr.. Hemphill-Not at all, because have
it. [Laughter.1
Mr.. Butterworth-Then it is an exhibit
ton of virtue that does not cost my friend
any sacrifice? Laughter.]
MIR. Hemphill-I do not know any time
man can be more virtuous than when it does
not cost him anything. Laughter.
Mr.. Butterworth-But, is it tair division
of labor for you to exhibit the virtue and US
to make the sacrifice? Laughter.
Mr.. Kennedy, of Ohio, inquired whether
it was not true that members on the Demo
cratic side got tip to draw their money.
Mr.. Hemphill replied that he had never
heard of such thing, and his denial was
corroborated by Mr.. Adams, who stated
that nothing OF the kind had come to the
knowledge OF the committee.
Mr.. Holman, OF Indiana, contended that
The fund remaining in the Office of the Ser
geant at Arms (about SIS, ,O00) should be
divided pro rata among the members who
were losers by the defalcation. Pending
further debate, the House adjourned,

Mr.. Campbell responded quite at length in
speech on the prospects OF party success,
and extending thanks for the visit to
Columbus.
The club next called at the various news
paper offices. About o'clock this evening
they went TO the residence Of Judge Thur-
man and serenaded, and found him in the
best of humor. Colonel Echols, as
spokesman, reminded the Judge of a
speech which he had made at Sandusky
about quarter of century ago, which
was accepted throughout the South as
declaration of principles for the re-
juvenated Democracy. Judge Thurman
had almost forgotten the speech, but
when it was recalled he warmed to the
subject, and made lively address to the
visitors, and demonstrated the fact of his
mental vigor, although he at times grew
pathetic and touched the more tender
chords.
Mrs. Thurman was introduced and gave
the boys a royal welcome, aud in turn they
decorated her with one of their club
badges. The club also decorated the
daughter of General Campbell and the wife
of Senator Brice with their club badge.
They have made a fine impression on the
Columbus Democracy, and have shown
themselves competent of rising above party
lines on occasions and becoming generally
agreeable.

COULDN'T WIN ITS CASE,
A Pittsburg Concern Loses Its Suit Against
New York Receiver.


New York Receiver.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
ALBAN :, January 14.-The Court of
Appeals to-day affirmed, with costs, the
judgment of the lower court against the
Pittsburg Carbon Company, Lin, in its
suit against Frank G. Mcmillan, as receiver
of the United Carbon Company. The ap-
peal on the part of the Pittsburg con-
cern was from a judgment affirm
ing, with costs, the Judgment of the
Erie county special term, entered
November %, 1888, adjudging that the de-
fendant was entitled to recover S1,OS0,
which had been deposited to abide the event
of the action, and that the defendant re-
cover his costs against the plaintiff. This
action was begun by the plaintiffs against
the Brush Electric Light Company to re-
cover moneys claimed as due for electric
light carbons. An action was also begun
by Mcmillan, as receiver, etc., against the
same defendant to recover upon the same
claim. Upon this conflict arising the
Brush Company paid the amount claimed,
81, ,OSO, into Court, and secured an order
inter-plesding the two claims.
In March, 1887, the Pittsburg Carbon
Company contracted with one Hawks, os
Buffalo. as trustee for the management of
its business. Hawks also contracted simi-
larly with other carbon manufacturing con-
Germs, by which the management of all was
concentrated in his hands. These various
companies assigned all contracts, etc., to
the trust. The trust became insolvent, and
the Ohio courts appointed Mcmillan re-
ceiver. The claim in question was for car
bons furnished by the Pittsburg company to
the Brush company, under a contract which
had been formally assigned to the trust.
