MUrINY IN TIE SENATE.


There is renewed agitation at the White
House. In the Senate o-dav, in EXecu-
tive session, n motion was made to re
consider the confirmation Of Boss Shep-
herd 1t seems that there mas much dis.
satisfaction at the manner in which this
confirmation was rushed through on
Monday, and in view OF the strong feel
inc against the nomination Of Williams
it is thought that at least n show of de
liberation should be had in confirming
the other nominations The prospect
Low is that fight over Shepherd will be
added to the complication already exist
inc between the President and the Sen
ate. The motion to reconsider is said to
have been made by Republican Senator


WILLIAMS.


The Senate judiciary committee to day
considered the case Of Williams, but no
action was taken. The discussion will
h. resumed Tomorrow. The rumor that
the nomination will be.withdrawn is per
sis,sn,lv reiterated, but there is the best

Trouble Brewing in the Coal Mines


-Reported strike at Indian Ridge.


Por7syrLLE, May 27.-Ths Philadel-
phia Coal and Mining Company having
issued an order compelling the employ
ees in their collieries to enter the mines
before seven oclock in the morning and
remain until half-past five in the even
ing, the men held a meeting and re-
solved that as the order was issued for
the purpose Of forcing the miners to
strike at the present time, but they give
notice that at the fret favorable oppor-
tunity they will resist the rules in q
body. A resolution was also passed
that the law laid down in the ventilia-
ton act must be strictly adhered to,
and upon any infringement on said
law the immediate attention OF the in
spector be demanded. 1t is reported
that the miners at Indian Ridge colliery
have struck, and at another colliery
have turned out for increase Of wages.

Plants have commonly been thought
to differ from animals in the gases which
they secrete; the animals parting with
carbonic acid, while the plant gave out
oxygen. DR.. J. @. Draper, of New
York, however, maintains that all living
things, whether animal or plant, absorb
oxygen and give ont carbonic acid; and
that the life of the plant is one continu-
Gus drinking in of oxygen gas. Having
grown plants similarly nourished in the
dark and in sunlight, he found that all
the same parts were produced In both
cases almost at the same time, and that
the slightly slower evolution of the
series grown in the dark is marked by a
slightly smaller weight, while the same
plant measured by night and by day
grows slightly faster in darkness than
in sunlight The roots of plants grown
under both circumstances throw out the
same kind of excrement. Therefore, as
the evolution aud weight and root-secre-
ton agree, ne urges that the carbonic
acid has been in both cases thrown of
as a consequence of growth, and has
never been absorbed by the roots and
then given out as vapor from the leaves.
In confervm and fungi, which, Ike
seedlings grown in the dark, never give
out oxygen, he appears to think that the
earbonic acid they seem to give Off is
really only the carbon of the air left
around the plant as q consequence OF
the rapidity with which the oxygen If
absorbed and when plants are produ'
cling their flowers and seeds, the rate al
which they seem TO part. with carbomC
acid is greater than with, many animals
at any time. Oxygen is given on only
from the green parts of plants and trees
the leaves, twigs, and young shoots
and only when the sunlight is falling OF
the leaves. DR. Diapers argumsn
might have been made even more con
vincing if he had availed himself o
/ BoussingauIt's experiments, which show


ed that carbonic acid is decomposed da.

1t Is my purpose 10 answer, as briefly as possible,
the protestant" who appears to have been SO
much agitated by the service which he attended at
st. Adams church. First, he wishes to know to
what sect or denomination ST. Adams belongs.
''Oi course they do not call themselves Episcopa-
lians" for that would be entirely superhuous, as
one OF the fundamental principles OF the whole
Catholic Church is that no Church can exist with
out It's episcopate or bishop; "nor do they call
themselves Romanists," as they, in common with
the whole Anglican branch of the Catholic Church
to which they belong, profess no allegiance to or
acknowledge the supremacy OF the Bishop OF Rome.
They do call themselves Catholics, for the inherit
ancc or the whole Chatholic faith Is theirs, as
taught and borne witness to by pure and apoS-
tolic branch of the Church.


His next trouble seems to be concerning the Gus
tomary reverence made toward the altar. Now, II

SAN BERNARDINO, dec. IL.


Mr.. Abadie, the owner of the Lytle
creek hydraulic mine, was shot and
killed last night while on his way
home from Cucamongo. He left Gu
camongo between and o'clock and
was seen passing Mr.. Smiths place be-
tween five and six, and was never seen
again alive. Last night about one
o'clock, a messenger came to town and
aroused the town Marshal who left in
few moments accompanied by q
posse. They proceeded to Mr.. Aba
dies house, viewed the body, and as
soon as it was light took the back trail.
About two miles below the mines they
saw where the wagon came into the
road. The trail then went into the
brush, aud after wandering about for
three four miles came back into the
road again at place where a small
wash ran parallel to the road. Here
they saw the marks of two men and
one horse. One party started on the
trail and another went back to the
house. Mr.. Abadie was shot twice, one
ball striking him in the left breast
angling, and after passing through
the heart made its exit from the back;
the other ball took. effect in the right
temple, lodging in the brain. From
all appearances he received no warn
ing, but fell forward in the wagon.
The horses became frightened by the
noise of the shots and ran from the
road, but after recovering from their
scare went back again and took the
road home, arriving about midnight.
The gold watch and purse of the de-
ceased were not disturbed, nor was his
shotgun which was under the seat,
loaded and capped. The deceased was
a peaceable, well-disposed citizen; he
had been engaged in mining for some
nine years and was universally liked
and respected. The cause Of the kill
ing is conjectured to arise from law
suit brought against him last summer
for the possession of the Lytle creek
mines, in which Abadie was success
full. Dark hints and threats have
been made, and this is the culmina-
tiOn of the affair,

THE Indians at Date Creek are to be removed to the Verde. They are very reluctant to go, and some fears are entertained that there may be difficulty in getting and keeping them there. But we apprehend that no serious trouble will arise from it. The memory of the punishment they re- ceived for their evil deeds Is too fresh in their memories to desire repeti- tion of Gen. Crooks gentle caressing at the present time, and if they don't obey orders they know they will get it. The Verde is far better place for them in every way, and they can be cared for by the government much more economically by placing them with the Verde Indians.

WE clip the following items of news

 from our exchanges relative to the

 Texas and Pacific Railroad. The great armies of progress are now moving from the east and the west, and it will not be long before they will meet on the plains of Arizona. Then the sound of the locomotive will be heard instead of the Apache war whoop, and towns and villages will spring into life in places where now it is unsafe for white men to live:

 Marshall, though inland, has present great advantages in the presence of a small army of railroad men who are under the direct control of Granville NJ. T odge, the Chief Engineer of the Texas and Pa cifc Railroad, and whose untiring exertions to push the work to the Pacinc coast are fully appreciated. From Marshall to lief ferson the road-bed has been made, and the iron is beng landed at Jefferson IS rapidly as it can be brought by the packets under contract with Boffinger and Pegram, shipping agents. of your city.

 Last evening met Andrew Frame, who has 160 men and 45 mules at work on the Jefferson route. Ahead of this camp is large number of Chinese, who are smooth ing off the road bed and doing other work called light in railroad parance. MT. Frame speaks in the highest terms of the promptness with which the obligations of the company are met, and also of the ease and rapidity with which the work is being constructed. The machine shops being erected in Marshall are laid out by scien- tiic architects, and competent engineers are active in grading and furnishing their plans. The soil here is peculiarly adapted for making brick, hence there has been no difficulty felt in getting au ample supply. Lumber is also very abundant and of good quality, thus rendering the task an easy one for the bureau of construction.

 Concurreutly with the work of construc :ion has been carried on that of laying out towns at convenient points along the route. For the most part these have been laid out at equal distances, being fifteen miles apart. Quite a number of them are very favorably located, and are expected to grow into towns and cities of importance. Especially along the northern branch, which runs through a splendid country where several fourishing young cities already exist, and on either side of Dallas, for n considerable distance, is there reason to expect the ingathering of a large and excellent population.

 Yesterday the Texas and Pacific Rail- way was for the first time introduced to the great railroad family of the United States, having adopted the same gauge with about sixty thousand miles of roads in this cOun try, viz: the width of fur feet eight and a half inches. When the road is completed to San Diego, it will be possible to take sleeping car at that place, and, without a change, land in New York or Boston.

THE following letter was received from Phenix. dated April 21:

 The District Court. which is still in ses- sion, took q recess this week in order to give the District Attorney time to procure witnesses in the Griffin case. The grand jury was in session all last week, and handed in their report on Saturday and was immediately discharged. The fol- lowing is an epitome of said report: They found four true bills for murder and one for accessory to murder. They examined the hooks of the various county officials, which they found to be creditably and cor rectly kept. They examined the county jail and found the wants of the prisoners well attended to, but reported the jail to be in secure and not properly ventilated, and recommended that watch be kept around it night and day. in order to secure the prisoners. The Apaches appear to be hoy ering around the settlements on the river, and there is no telling how much mischief may be done. On Monday last they fired on three Mexicans who were going from Maryvile to Mcdowell. and killed one in- stautly; the other two escaped. Their signal fires were seen on the mountains around town several nights last week. Two men from Phenix went out to the White Tank Mountains prospecting few days ago. one on horseback and the other with a wagon, intending to stay long enough to make a thorough search. They got out as far as the Tanks and were encamped, when several shots were fired at them, and they heard the Indians hallooing up among the rocks. They got up and dusted mighty quick, and so saved their scalps. he weather is fine, rather warm in the middle of the day. Farmers very busy. Crops look well and promise an average yield.
