A SENSATION IN THE HOUSE.
Some Grave Charges Preferred Against
Gen, William 3. Franklin.

Washington, April 15.-At the open
ing of the session Of the House to-day
Mr.. Bell, (Dem., Texas called up the
report of Elections committee No. on
the case of Noorman vs.. Latimer from
the Third district Of South Carolina,
which was unanimously in favor of the
sitting member, and it was adopted
without division.
The House to-day Witnessed a rather
sensational assault on Cen. William
II Eranklia, Of Connecticut, President
Of the Board Of Managers Of the Ma
tional Soldiers Home, and Gov. A. j.
Smith, of the Leayenworth Home, in
connection with a resolution for the
re-appointment Of Gen. Franklin and
others to membership on the Board.
Mr.. Blue, of Kansas, who declared
war on Gen. Franklin, some time ago,
while the Sundry Civil bill was before
the House, renewed the attack to-day
with the avowed intention Of defeating
Gen. Franklin and eIecting in his place
Cen O. @. Howard Mr.. Blue charged
that Gen. Franklin was either grossly
negligent and incompetent or dishon-
est. His main assault however, was
directed at Gov Smith (for whom he
charged Gen. Franklin was response
ble.) Gov. Smith, he charged with
drunkenness, cruelty and fayoritism.
He produced letters and kilograms to
support his allegations.
Gen. Curtis, cf New York, gallant
soldier who lost an eye at Fort Fisher,
and Alr. Steele, Indiana, member Of
the Board Of Managers who is named
for reelection on the Board, defended
the Board. The former said the Of
fetal investigation Of Gov. Smiths con-
duct completely exonerated him and
the latter in the course of his remarks
declared that he had library full of
such literature as Mr.. Blue had ad-
duced. 1t was, he said, all ex-parte I'D
unworthy of credence. Both paid high
tributes to Gen. Franklin.
Mr.. Peele, of New York, who lost an
arm during the war and who was a
comrade of Gov. Smith, testified to his
personal character as a man and
bravery as a soldier The vote on the
resolution will be taken at 3 o'clock

The Republicans of North Dakota are
undying in their demand for honest

to any scheme that will give to the
country deprecated or debased cur

currency, but 20 the extent only and
under such restrictions that its parity
with gold can be maintained; we are
therefore opposed to the free and un-
