HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The house went
into committee of the whole for consider
alton of the bill approprating $63O,1S9 for
an additional clerical force to carry into
effect the provisions of the dependent pen
sion acts.
Mr.. Dcckery of Missouri criticized the
majority of the commitRe on appropria-
tions for not reporting bill making an ap-
preparation to pay pensions which would
be granted under The dependent pension
bill, aud intimated that the failure was at
tributable to political reasons. The appro-
priation would not be made before the
November elections
Mr. Sayers of Texas predicted that the
next session of congress would be called
upon to appropriate no less than $4,000 900
to supply deficiencies in the appropriations
for the payment of pensions
Mr.. Enloe of Tennessee thought that be-
fore any increase of force were granted the
pension bureau it should be ascertained
whether the charges brought against the
present commissioners were true 1t had
been alleged by a Republican Cooper of
lndiana) that the commissioners had
changed the ruling of the department.

who were not entitled to it, 1t had been
alleged that the pension office was cor

lieved that the office was reeking with cor
ruption in every department. Mr.. Enloe
further declares that every other depart
ment bureau of the government except the
pension bureau, was conducted on busi-

something rotten, and in his opinion
the reason that the bureau had not been
investigated was because of the rottenness

of Ohio and Eploe, and Cannon of Illinois
offering 10 act as second to either gentle
man, the debate was continued by Messrs
Cannon, Cooper Mckinley, Rogers

troyed one OF the principal business blocks

WASHINGTON NOTES.
THE ARKANSAS CASE.

WAsHINHToN, July 1j.-The house COM
mittee on elections today heard arguments
by Judge Jno. Mcclure of Arkansas, Mr..
Clayton's representative upon the Breck-
enridge, Arkansas, election case. Judge
Mcclure began his argument by attacking
Mr.. Breckenridge in reply to certain state
ments made by that gentleman as exhibited
in the record. He charged that Mr. Breck.
enridge had sought to incite his partisans
to treat him (McClure) as they had treated
Mr.. Clayton, but he warned them that if
he was assassinated his friends would re-
quire greater measure of atonement than
was permitted by the Mosaic law
At this point Representative Crisp made
fOrcible objection to the continuation of
this line of argument, and was about TO re-
tire, when Chairman Rowell interposed and
desired council to avoid personalities.
Analysing the testimony respecting the de-
tails of the vote cast in the district Judge
Mcclure hell that outside of ConN ay
county and in Woodruff county alone, there
was evidence of fraud ample to reverse de-
clared result of the election.
Mr. Breckenridge will reply tomorrow
with brief prepared by EX-Attorney Cen
eral Garland.
PROPOSED ARMY CHANGES.
WAsHINGToN,' July 15.-The president and
Secretary Proctor are seriously considering
proposition advocated by several promi-
nent army officers for abolition of present
system of division comman Is and to trans
act military adairS hereafter through de-
partment commanders. 1t is understood
that the president and secretary are favora-
BILE to the proposed changes as tending to
simplification of military methods and do
ing away with the maintenance of various
military establishments.
In case the change is made major gen
eral will be placed IN command of each OF
the two important departments of the At
lantic and Pacific, and the interior depart
nIents will be commanded by brigadier
generals, all of whom will report directly
to Maj. Gen. Schofield commanding the
army, headquarters Washington, D. G.
The effect of the change would be merely
nominal in New York city and San Fran
cisco, where are located both division and
department headquarters.

and agricultural Implements broken up
and destroyed. Several people have been
shot and severely wounded. and number
of railroad bridges burned, and other dep

SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION. =
WASHINGTON, July 5.-The Squadron O
Evolution which sailed from Rio Janerio
10 days ago has not been heard from since
at the navy department, although Admiral
Walker was expected to stop at Pernom-
buco which is but 1900 miles from Rio.
No anxiety however is felt for the safety of
the squadron, as this is not the stormy
puriod on the Brazilian coast and the ships
are all amply able to take care of them
selves. 1t is probably the admiral found
no need of stopping at PerLambuco and is
| now sailing in the West Indies which he
ought reach in few days.

Curious Nomenclature That Originated
In tac Ola Plantation Life.

In tae Ola Plantation Life.
o fconr.o. on every plantation there
were several negroes of the menamc,
and the negroes. who are up, ut such
things, used various and peculiar SO
briqaets to distinguish them. On my
fathers place there IA an Taller
Liza, an Black Liza and an Pop Eyed
Liza, an Tinker Big Jake, Tinker Lit
tie Jake aud Tinker Knock kneed
Jake. There were in one family three
generations Of BclS. all possessed Of a
mental or physical inlirmity. The old
man, who had been kicked nthc head
by a mule, was crazy. lie spent his
days and pretty nearly all his nights
standing under a broad China tree
preaching Of the Judgment day. lie
was Tinker Fool Zen. His son, a mid
de aged man, afflicted with an ulcer
that made him lame. was Tinker Hop
PIN Ben. The grandson who trem-
bled with the palsy and besides was
simple minded, was Tinker Chilly
Ben. Though able bodied, he was
never required to do any work and
wandered about the place without let
or hindrance.
At the close of the war a large mo
jorityo of the southern negroes assumed
the name of the family TO which they
belonged, getting it fearfully twisted
sometimes. as. for instance, Grim for
Graham, Buskcy for Arowbuskl, cts

In this way You will now find the
grandfather Of a family bearing thu
name of his oil master in Virginia,
his son that of his owner at the close
of the war, while the grandson as
sumes somc fanciful name suggested
by circumstances. So | know an old
man calling himself Jim Sanders. His
son is Jim james. Jr. There is not nor
ever has been "A jim James, 81. His
son, again. is Jim Grandson. Upon

come across the once familiar names
of Sambo. Cuilee, Dinah. Sukcy, ETC.,
but very rarely even there. Grandi.
