THE SIXTH DISTRICT INVESTIGA
TION.
Some time ago Senator V-wci intro
duced a resolution in the Sanate asking
the Secretary of the Treasury for
certain information in reference to the
administration of affairs in the sixtn
collection district of this State. In pur
suance of this resolution certain cor
Jrespondence between Dr. Mott,collec-
Sir, in reference to transactions .be
,n 'tween him and some of his deputies,
was sent in to the Senate, but it did not
meet the case ; did not bear on the in
formation sought. Shortly after this,
Mr. Armfield, in the House, offered a
resolution asking for the appointment
of a committee to investigate the al
leged charges against the collector of
the district, which was violently op
posed by Mr. Houk (Republican) of
Tennessee, and it was thereupon refer
red to the committee on ways and
means, to be buried, no doubt. In the
meantime the contest over the collec
torship, waxed hot; these charges
were repeated and reiterated by the op
poneuts of Mr. Cooper, for whose nom
ination Mott was using all his influence.
The nomination of Cooper, notwith
standing the vigorous opposition to
him, has. transferred the contest from
the audience chamber of the White
House to the Senate, where a strong
effort will be made to prevent Cooper's
confirmation. Yesterday in the Senate
Senator Vance introduced a. resolution
similar to that of Mr. Armfield. in the
House, to investigate and establish the
truth or falsity of the malfeasance al
leged in the administration of that
office under Collector Mott. It must be
remembered these charges emanate not
from Democrats, but from Republicans,
men who claim to know what they say,
some of whom have acted in concert
with him and helped him to win the
victories of which he boasts, and per
haps helped him to invest some of the
funds which they now charge were
corruptly applied and dishonestly ap
propriated. With all the clamor that has been
raised, with these repeated demands for
investigation, by a member of the Sen
ate and a member of the House repre
senting a part of the district in ques
tion, who certainly have the right to
make that demand, we do not see how
it can be ignored or refused. As Houk
opposed the resolution of Mr. Armfield
in the House, so Sherman places him
self in opposition to Vance's resolution
in the Senate, because the parties in
volved were supporters of his in his
candidacy for the presidency, and in his
interest it is alleged much of the cor
ruption was practiced. It is natural,
under the circumstances, that John
Sherman should oppose the investiga
tion asked for.
Senator Vance ins ts on his resolu
tion au i the Senate must give those
w?io make the charges the opportunity
t establish them, or prove that for fac
tional purposes they h.;ve slan lt red in
nocent men.
In tin; meantime, should the commit
tee be appointed, the pr babilities are
that Mr. Cooper's confirmation will
hang until the result i3 known.

IN CONGRESS
THE SIXTH DISTRICT INVESTI
GATION AND THE CHINESE
QUESTION IN THE SENATE.
The House Considers the Consular Ap
propriation Bill, listens to Speeches
on a Vigorous Foreign Policy in which
a good deal of Politics was Min gled,
and Concurred in the Senate Amend
ment to the Post Route Bill.
Washington, March 2. Senate
Butler presented a petition from all
the bank presidents, the president of
the chamber of commerce and a num
ber of leading business men in Charles
ton, S. C, asking a modification of the
treaty with the Hawaiian Islands.
Gorman offered a resolution direct
ing the Postmaster General to transmit
a statement giving the amount expend
ed during the fiscal year, ending June
30, 1881, for special facilities for fast
mails, the list of railroad companies re
ceiving the same and the amount paid
to each company, the additional service
furnished by each company, if any, and
to what extent the service has been ex
pedited, also a detailed ' statement of
contracts made for the special fast mail
service during the present fiscal year to
date, the amount to be paid to each rail
road company, and the character of the
additional service to be performed by
each company. Adopted.
Kellogg, from the committee on com
merce, reported favorably a bill recent
ly introduced by him to extend the lim
its of the port of New Orleans, and for
other purposes.
He offered a resolution which wa3
adopted directing the secretary of war
to transmit an estimate of the cost of
removing wrecks and other obstruc
tions from Bayou La Fourche, Louis
iana. Vance offered a resolution reciting
that the cost of collecting internal rev
enue tax in the Sixth Congressional
district of North Carolina is nearly six
ty per cent., being greater than that of
any other district in the United States,
that many and serious charges against
the officials are openly made in news
papers and elsewhere, and are general
ly believed, and providing for the ap
pointment by the president of the Sen
ate of a committee of three to investi
gate the charges and complaints, with
power to compel the attendance of wit
nesses, etc
Sherman regarded the resolution as
extraordinary and in nature of an exec
utive order. He supposed it referred
to matters pending in executive session
and before the committee on finance.
He would not object to calling on the
treasury department for information,
but he certainly objected to a recital
about which the Senate could know
nothing.
Vance said he had twice applied for
information he desired ; once by a Sen
ate resolution and then by letter to the
commissioner of Internal Revenueand
in each instance had encountered slow
and unmistakable evasion of his de
mand. He read from a letter of the
commissioner to the secretary a state
ment that the reports of the examining
officers in the district were not includ
ed in the response to the Senate resolu
tion because these did not contain charg
es but were criticisms of agents of
the jdepartment on the current work
of the district and their suggestions fdr
an improvement of the service. These
reports being those of special agents
Brooks and JKellogg.
Vance said these were matters which
he had specifically called for. Tiie mat
tar had been a public scandal in North
Carolina for ten years, and as he want
ed to get at the truth of it, he would in
sist upon a vote on the resolution, at the
earliest possible moment. The matter
wa3 laid over under objection.
Conger, from the committee on
commerce reported favorably, with
amendments, the House bill to
promote the efficiency of the Jife
saving service and to encotfrage
the saving of life from shipwreck. The
amendments consist of two sections of
the Senate bill which provides a pen
sion for two years for the widows and
children of keepers and surfmen who
may lose their lives while in the service,
and for the payment of salaries to keep
ers and members of crews during the
time of sickness or disability resulting
from wounds or disease contracted in
the line of duty. Placed on calendar.
At 1 :40 the Senate took up the Chi
nese bill .
Grover, of Oregon, took the floor in
support of the bill. He was followed
by Farley, of California, also in support
of the bill, who consumed the remain
der of the afternoon, yielding finally to
the executive session.
The executive session consumed an
hour and twenty-three minutes.
Adjourned.
House. There was a good deal of
confusion in the House this morning,
owing to the fact that a number of the
members were demanding recognition
of the speaker, but Aiken, of South
Carolina, declared his intention of ob
jecting to everything until order Was
restored.
Harris, of Massachusetts; chairman
of the committee on naval affairs re
ported a bill, authorizing the construc
tion of vessels- of war for the navy ;
printed and re-committed.
The morning hour having been dis
pensed with the House at J.2.45 went in
to committee of the whole (Bice of
Massachusetts in the chair) on consu
lar and diplomatic appropriation bill,
which appropriates $1,198,350, being
912,000 less than was , appropriated last
year, and $15,000 less than the esti-

was not only proper tut vitally im
portant; but Garfield was dead and
Blaine was no longer secretary of state.
The great West and the enterprising
East did not govern. It was the shadow
or waii street's speculative capital
through fear of offense to foreign na
tions which withheld the brave words
which the representatives of the power,
energy and honor had spoken. The
United States wonld not move when
her honor, commerceand trade demand
ed protection lest jealousy and ill
will of some foreign powers should be
created. Was there a lower depth to be
reached ? Let it be said : to the honor
of the late administration that it seem
ed to have been imbued with the doc
trines of the old patriots whose deeds
illustrated with lustre the greatest and
brightest pages of American history.
Hewitt, of New York, was the next
speaker. The people of this country,
he said, had arrived at two conclusions
in reference to our foreign policy:
First, that citizens, whether natural
ized or native, should have full and
complete protection at home or abroad :
second, that the Monroe doctrine should
be asserted and maintained at every
cost and hazard, even to the issue of the
cannon's mouth. In the course of his
remarks, Hewitt alluded to a former
speech of Orth, of Indiana, and brought
that gentleman to his feet, followed by
Holman and others ; finally Kasson re
called the House to the bill under con
sideration, but his own remarks were
somewhat extended and directed prin
cipally to a defence of the present ad
ministration from the criticisms of
Whittehorne.
Other speeches were made, nominally
upon the subject of the bill, but all of a
political character.
The committee rose without action.
The, Senate amendments to the post
route bill were concurred in, and then,
at 4:50, the House adjourned.
The Queen Shot at.
Windsor, Eng., March 2. This even
ing as the Queen was entering her car
riage, a man in the station yard delib
erately fired a pistol at her. The man
who was a miserable looking object,
was immediately seized by several
policemen and taken to the Windsor
police station. No one was hurt. The
man gave his name Frederick McLean.
The Queen drove off to the castle im
mediately after she was fired at The
miscreant was followed to the police
station by a large crowd of people from
whom he was rescued with difficulty.
The Queen arrived at Windsor ataijout
5.25 p. m.
The Vote on Conkling's Confirmation.
Washington, March 2. The vote on
Conkling's confirmation is understood
to have been 39 yeas against 12 nays 8
Democrats and 4 Republicans, namely :
Hoar, Dawes, Morrill and Hawley.
Sargent's nomination was confirmed
without division.
The Senate also confirmed Wm. F.
Poston United States attorney for the
Western District of Tennessee.
