THE CLAYTON CASE.
Representative Breckenridge Argues Ii
His Own Behalf.


His Own Behalf.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Representative
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, made argu-
ment in his own behalf today before the
house committee on elections, reading a
brief prepared by ex-Attorney-General
Garland. This paper attacked the sub
committee which visited Arkansas for
its failure to take testimony proffered
by Breckenridge; as, for instance, in
the case of the ballot-boxes where the
count was impugned. 1t set forth, fur
ther, that the record failed utterly to
show that Breckenridge was not elected 4;
but, on the contrary. it showed that he
was elected, Respecting Clayton's muir
der, it was perfectly clear that nothing
more could have been done to find the
murderer than had been done by the
officers and people OF the state.
When he concluded the brief Breck-
inridge proceeded to supplement it by a
long statement. He had known Clay
ton twenty years. They had been neigh
bors and friends. They canvassed the
district together. Their relations dem
onstrated that there was nothing in the
charges made by Judge Mcclure OF the
terrible persecution Of the Republicans
in his district. Clayton's death had

been fearful surprise to him (Breckin-
ridge), as it was to all decent people in
Arkansas. He believed that the Plum
merville ballot box was stolen by Re-
publicans. Their apparent object was
to hinge upon the stealing contest
case if the house of representatives was
Republican.
Breckenridge, in the course of his
talk, turned his attention to Judge Nc
Clure, and scored that gentleman
severely.
Judge Mcclure closed the arguments
in a brief speech devoid of personalities,
and treating almost altogether of the
legal aspect of the case. He argued in
briet, that as the evidence showed that
the ballots really cast were not pre-
served, it was competent to 60 behind
them and take proof of the vote.

THE NATIONS BUDGET.
Mr.. Cannon Denies that the Appropria-
tiOns Will Exceed the Revenues.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Mr. Cannon,
chairman OF the house appropriation
committee, emphatically denies that the
appropriations of this session for the
current fiscal year will exceed the
revenues. He estimates the appropria-
tions at $3.50, 100000, and says: The
ordinary revenues Of the government
for the fiscal year ended June so, 1890, as
reported by the treasury were $402, ,0S3,-
600. Under the existing laws there is no
reason to anticipate a less sum from the
ordinary revenues during 1891. The
postal revenues for 1891 are estimated
by the postmaster-general at $65 ,4l4, 900,
making total of $467, ,497 900. Deduct
ing the aggregate appropriations, $3.50,
100000, there will be surplus OF $1l7,
4O7 900, which is more than ample to
meet the requirements OF the new pen
sion law and the reduction OF taxation
from the enactment of the Mckinley
bill, estimated at $50, 100000.

ing His Hair.
LONDON, May 20th.-There seems to be
great deal of romancing about Stanley's
engagement to Dorothy Tenant. The
news was sprung as great surprise Satur-
day morning, and newspaper men had a
lively scramble to ascertain the facts about
the engagement. The exact facts were
learned yesterday.
Stanley met Miss Tenant with party
On the Duke of Westminster's yacht few
weeks before he started to Africa to rescue
EmIn. He was introduced to her by the
Baroness Burdett. Coutts. Stanley was
much impressed with Miss Tenant, and
sought occasionally to continue his friend
ship. A few days before he started for
Africa he proposed marriage and, much to
his surprise, was rejected. To one or two
friends who ventured to talk with her on
the subject Miss Tenant said she could
not stand man who dyed his hair. 1t is
well-known fact that while in America
and while here before he started for Africa
this time Stanley always died his hair.
During his last trip he discarded dye and
is now altogether content to let his hair re-
main as white as snow.
The stories about Stanley sending i'm
FASHIONED love letters from the heart of
Africa to his anxious fiancee are all bosh.
Stanley went away rejected sutton.
When homeward bound he arrived at
Brindisi, Miss Tenant was not there to
meet him, as she surely would have been
if they were betrothed
Among the party to meet Stanley at
Dover was the Baroness Burdett-Coutts.
During the journey up she contrived to let
Stanley know that if he still loved Dorothy
Tenant and would ask her again to marry
him, this time he would not be refused
The result was that Stanley drove to the
home of the Baroness, where Miss Ten
nant was waiting to meet him. Whether
Stanley asked her again, there and then, to
be his wife, is not known, but he did so
very soon afterward. No date has been
fixed for the wedding. 1t will probably
occur in July.
Just now Stanley is full of the idea of
transporting negroes from the Southern
States of America to Central Africa The
precise site fixed upon is the Upper Congo
forest country, $1,000 square miles in ex-
tent, which Stanley estimates would pro.
vide for each of the negroes of the South
something like quarter of square mile
of land for his inheritance. The climate
is healthy, the country Astounding in navi-
gable rivers, with hills and valleys to
diversity the scenery. 1t struck Stanley in
passing through it that it resembled Arkan-
sas, Mississippi and Louisiana, without
their swamps. Anything might be grown
on it, he says, from the oranges, sugarcane
and cotton of sub-tropical lands to the
wheat Of California and the rice of South
Carolina.

PROGRESS AT VIVA.
A Lawn Social With Guests From All
Quarters.


Quarters.
A correspondent of the RECORD UNION
writing from Vina under date of May 18th,
gives the following account of doings at
that place
Those who think that cities contain all
there is of social life ought to have spent
"Wednesday evening at Vina. They would
have had the best of reasons for changing
their opinions. On that evening Mrs. w
H. Smith gave lawn social at her fac
residence on Governor Staniordis Vina
ranch, which was attended by several hun
dred people. 1t is needless to say that in
point of brilliancy and social character il
excelled anything ever given, perhaps, in
this section of the State The grounds
which surround the residence are about
equal in area to one of your city blocks
aud is laid out in beautiful avenues and
walks, with fine grass plats and ornamental
strawberry and shade trees. For this occa-
sion the residence, as well as the entire
grounds, were handsomely illuminated
with hundreds of colored lights and Japan
csc lanterns. In all, it presented a scene
almost fairy-like in appearance. What
added still more to the charming effect of
the surroundings was the presence of so
many ladies dressed in white and other
light shaded costumes. An orchestra dis
coursed excellent music during the even
ing.
Mrs Smith was ably assisted by Mrs. A.
L. Nichols OF Chico, Mrs. p. o. Thomas,
Mrs. j. Copeland, Mrs. A. Green and 9TH
ers, in receiving her guests and providing
for their comfort and enjoyment. During
the evening ice cream, strawberries and
other refreshments were served

At little after midnight the festival
closed. Many of the guests upon taking
leave of the hostess thanked her for the
royal manner in which she had entertained
them.
In conclusion. it may be said that the
town of Vina is to have a new church
building and also a new hotel Unfortu.
nately she is not now possessed of either.
The building of the latter will be com.
menced at once and will contain abou;
forty rooms. The building, which will be
two stories high, will cost about $4,000.
Hudson & Swain, Of Marysville, are the
contractors and builders. The church
building will not be commenced until later
on in the season. tits quietly intimated by
those who seem to know that CALIFORNIA;
prince of philanthropists will furnish the
greater portion of the funds, his noble wife
having already provided for the organ.
Rev. Douglas, who is a Presbyterian, is at
the head of the church work here. He
completed the church organization on Fri
day evening. The new association starts
our wi;h good active membership.

WASHINGTON. May 20th-A California
Associated Press agent called yesterday
upon Judge Field and asked him what he
had to say il reference to the Withdrawal
of Yates nomination, and whether he
had done anything about it. The Judge
replied:
When Waite's nomination for Register
was made | handed to a Senator ar article
written by Waite in the Overland
Monthly of October, eulogistic of the late
David s. Terry. Much surprise was ex.
pressed by the Senator at the tenor of the
article, the Senator stating that it was a
reflection upon the Administration in des-
ignating the Marshal to protect Judge Saw
yer and myself from murderous assaults by
Terry, Tor II he was, as represented by
Waite, man of sterling integrity of pur-
pose it was meant, if it meant anything
that Terry was man of high principles
and pure character, having honorable pur-
poses OF action. 1t was quite evident from
what the Senator TO whom / gave the arti-
Gle and other Senators said that it would
be impossible for the nomination of Waite
to be confirmed. Quite certain l am that
neither Governor Stanford, who was his
friend, nor the whole delegation from Cal
lfornia could have secured his confrma-
uOl. am tod that the withdrawal OF
Waite has produced some feeling in Cali
fornia among the Republicans, and is likely
to induce them to leave their party. This
seems to me to be a very ridiculous posi-
ton.
"Terry's master purpose was to murder
me. " hen he failed Waite wrote an arti-
Gle in the Overland Monthly, crediting the
would-be assassin with sterling integrity
of purpose / do not know of any debt of
gratitude due from the Republicans to
Terry which should cause them to abandon
their political faith because Waite lost an
office for having eulogized him. But how
ever that may be, | myself will continue to
think that it was wrong in Terry TO attempt
my murder, and wrong in Waite to attempt
to rescue his name from the infamy at
tached to it by his crime.
Some persons evidently think it was un-
wise in me TO oppose the decoration of
Waite with an official honor, but they
should consider that was not endeavorlng
to conciliate those who are enraged because
Terry was killed instead of his killing me-
have DO interest in the appointments, and
do not care straw about them, except so
far as they relate to judicial officers, nor do
| busy myself in any way about them, but
do not expect to uphold would-be assas-
sins or those who eulogize them or gloss
over their Crimes"

HOUSE OF LORDS.
They Discuss the Question of Socialistic
Legislation.

LONDON, May 2Oth.-In the House of
Lords to-day the Earl of Weimess an
nounced the tendency of the Govern
ment towards Socialist legislation. 1t was
not land alone but every kind of property
that was threatened. The freedom of con-
tract and the freedom of private enterprise
was assailed. Salisbury admitted the ex-
istence of strong tendency to lean upon
the State upon every occasion. Against this,
he said, the statesmen must guard. Too
much importance was attached to the spec
ter of Socialism. The public could be
trusted to find out what practical good lies
behind Socialist doctrines. Nobody not alb
solutely blind could deny the existence of
great evils, from which arose Socialist pro-
posals and action. We are bound to do all
we can to remedy these evils, even if we
get called Socialists, knowing weare under
taking no new principle or striking out on
no new route, but we are simply pursuing
the long and healthy tradition of English
legislation.
