1t was simply an inquisitorial pro-
cess outside OF all constitutional limit.
He desired the country to know that on
his side Of the chamber they would in

stitution and not beyond them.
Mr.. Hoar asked Mt, Voorhees, to de-
fine exactly his meaning.
Mr., Voorhees-l take the position
that an unfit senator may be imposed
upon the senate, though it has not been
done in over u century, but that ii a
state should have the misfortune to
elect man blackened with crime, it is
the misfortune OF the state; and find
no power given us To organize ourselves
into tribunal on morals and to try
him for his oHenses. l may join with
the senator from Massachusetts, in sup
posing that such an embarrassment
may arise, but that would be less OF a
difficulty, and more tolerabe to good
government than 1t would be to claim
the power 10 try tho senator from lndi-

grave and ugly things. | have heard

CHICAGO, April l4,-Cyrus McCor-
mick was astonished to-day when his
attention was called to a dispatch from
Indianapolis in which it was insinuated
that in selling the Indianapolis street
railway, Allerton, Mccormick and the
other wealthy Chicago owners had
gulled the purchasers, Werner Mckee
and otherS, oil Pittsburgh.
The city attorney OF indianapolis has
decided, it seems, that the company's
franchise extends but seventeen months
longer. The recent purchasers sup
posed it good for eight years. It ia
alleged that the Allerton-M Mccormick
people knew this state OF affairs when
they sold out.
II am sure oil the Chicago owners Of
thisplant, when they disposed OF it last
fall, supposed the franchise run nine
years longer" said Cyrus Mccormick.
'This is the first l have heard of any
trouble, and am at loss to under
stand it. We certainly sold in good
faith, suppoHing tho franchise was for
nine years from last year"
General Manager h. X. Butler, OF the
Mccormick Company. who was former
ly director in the indianapolis Com.

has eight years yet to run.

MARTINsBuRa, W. Va, April a.
Major j. H. Bristor, a prominent citizen
of this place, left here this morning on
business. He proceeded by rail to Han
cock, where he employed a driver with
horse and buggy, and when about two
miles beyond Hancock he attempted to
raise his umbrella, which frightened
the horse, The driver jumped out OF
the vehicle, and the major was thrown
out over the dashboard at the horses
heels. He was kicked twice in the
stomach and died therefrom in less than
twenty minutes. His remains were
brought here on the $3.50 train.
Major Bristor was native OF Greene
county, Pennsylvania. When the war
broke out he entered the army in n
West Virginia regiment and rose to the
rank OF major. He was a good soldier
and since the war has been prominent
in G. A. r. circles. He has held some
OF the most important and profitable
Offices in the state, being elected state
treasurer in 1865, and has since held
other civil offices. He came here in
1869 and has since that time been en-.
gagged in the real estate business.

W4sHlNGroN, D. c., April l4.-Jo-
seph 5. Miller, OF West Virginia, will
certainly be the next commissioners OF
internal revenue. Ills nomination may
come tomorrow, or not till the first Of
next week, but it has been definitely
decided on and will be made,
1t is understood that the President
has all along been determined to ap-
point his friend Miller to this position,
and only hesitated, US told in the IN
TgLLrGESCER dispatches q few days ago,

will, however, be just us much OF re-

stands perfectly that the party in the
state doesn't want him, and that tho
delegation, with the possible exception
OF Mr.. Camden, has all along been
knitting his friend while appearing at
the white house to endorse him.
II Is safe TO predict that this is the
only recognition Of national Importance
that West Virginia will get. Colonel

Special Dispateh 10 the In.elIiga1er.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, April 14-Last
evening about 1880 o'clock Alex W.
Quarter, one Of Charleston's most
estimable young men, and eldest son OF
the late Hon. W. A. Quarter, accom-
panied by Miss Ella Young, Of Missouri,
who has been visiting in the city for
some time, went boat riding on the
Kauawha in canvass canoe owned by
Mr.. Quarter. Since that time nothing
has been heard from them. Mr.. Quar-
rier had position in the secretary OF
states office and left there at about tho
usual hour last evening but was absent
from his post OF duty this morning.
His failure and the failure OF the young
lady to return to their homes when eX.
pocled naturally caused considerable
alarm and this morning every possible
inquiry was made.
The government steamer Bee started
down tho river in tho hope OF finding
some clew as to the fate OF the missing
ones, and Wards steam yacht MadRe
also went OUT on the search. About
10 o'clock this morning q paddle be-
lived to belong Mr.. Quarter was found
at Lock 8, Just below the Weir, on the
north side OF the river. Nothing more
has been found to indicate tho where
about OF Quarter and his companion,
but there seems to be little doubt that
they have found watery grave. A
searching party also went out in skitfs.
but failed TO find anything that would
throw any light on the mystery. 1t is
thought that the boat was sunk by
the waves Of the Kanawha Bell, that
boat having come down about $3.50 last
evening, aud is reported that cries for
help were heard a short distance above
the bridge about that time. A reward
OF $50 has been offered for tho recovery
OF the bodies.
