The Senate Spends the Iar on LochI Bills The House Passes the Pen sion Bill and. Resumes tke Tariff Dis cussion. Washington, April 22. Senate Blair from the committee on educa tion and labor, reported favorably a bill to create a commission to inquire into and report upon the material, in dustrial and intellectual' progress made by the colored people pfc the United States since 1865. Placed on the calendar. After a short executive session the Senate dispensed with the regular or der and took up bills under the five minutes rule. Under this rulo bills were passed authorizing a bridge across the Cumberland river at Nash ville. and several bills affecting local and special interests in the West and North. The chair laid before the Senate the pleuro pneumonia bill so that it may come up as unnmsnea ousiness to morrow. House. In accordance with the resolution adopted yesterday the House met at 11 o'clock to-day. Dingley. or Maine, asked unani mous consent for the present consid eration of a bill authorizing the Sec retary of the Treasury to invest law ful money deposited by national bank associations for the retirement of their circulating notes. Weller objected, so consent was not granted. Un motion or Morrison an oraer was nasseo providing ior evening sessions until further notice for gen eral debate on the tariff bill. The House, at 11:45, went into committee of the Whole, Cox, of New York, in the chair, on the tariff bill. The principal .speakers upon the bill were Wellborn, of Texas, favor ing, and McKinly, of UhiO, oppos ing, but a good many questions and brief remarks were interjected by other members. Herbert, of Alaba ma, made an elaborate argument in favor of the bill and in answer to -what he termed the sophistries of the gentleman who had preceded him. He cited as an example of style and argument to which the protectionists rraorted the action of McKinly in producing an advertisement of the "Carlisle shape," and sarcastically referred to the advertisement as a reason for maintaining a high duty on the cheap class of crockery which was consumed by the people of this country. If Carlisle should be in strumental in bringing down the in iquitous tariff he would deserve to live in bronze and marble and would receive a vote of thanks from the people for his efforts in their behalf. He proceeded to expatiate on the necessity of securing a foreign mar ket for the productions of the farmer and contended that that object could only be attained by a reduction of the present high tariff duties. At the conclusion of Herbert's " speech the committee rose. The House then went into commit mittee of the Whole on the pension appropriation bill, the pending amendment being that offered by Rosecrans, of California, to transfer the duties of the pension agent to the pay department of the army. The amendment was lost. An amendment was adopted pro viding that no agent, attorney or other person should demand or re ceive a fee for his services in cases of pension or bounty land claims until the allowance of the claim ; that all fees in pension cases shall be paid for out of the first installment of the pension to the claimant; that no fee shall exceed $10, except in a case of special written contract on file in the pension office and approved by the commissioner of pensions, when $25 may be charged, and prescribing the power which the Secretary of the Interior may exercise over the pen sion attorney. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the House, when it was passed. The House then took recess until until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be for debate only on the tariff bill. . , M ? i i JUDGE ADVOCATE SWAIM. The Seeretarv of War Recommends nnd the TresidentfAppoints a Court of In quiry Into the Charges Against Him. Washington, April 22. Secretary Lincoln to-day addressed a letter to the President in which he asserts that on the 16th inst., A. E. Bateman, of this city, a member of the firm of Bateman & Co., bankers, addressed to him a letter in which he alleged that Gen. D. G. Swaim, Judge Advo cate General of the Army, had com mitted fraud upon the said firm, the nature of which he described. Bate man's letter, as telegraphed abroad on the day of its date, is embodied in the Secretary's letter, who then pro ceeds to say : "On the next day and before any action was taken on : the communication of Bateman another communication from him was receiv ed from him by me in the following words: .fBateman's ' second f letter withdrawing his charges - against Swaim' is set torth, ' followed by Swaim's endorsement upon Bateman s fir letter all5 of- whloW have been telegraphed to the, press. ) Secretary Lincoln then writes in his letter to the President as follow; 'Bateman thought it proper to give the press a copy of his: first letter 61$ the day ,'of its date and the grave charges made by him against the. Judge Advocate General were thus given wide public ity. Its object was apparently to enforce speedy adjustment by means as offensive as possible, and his letter of the next day shows that notwith standing the bitterness of bis attack a satisfactory settlement was quickly made, pne element of which was bis formal withdrawal .of his charges with ' the statement ; which seems carefully framed to avoid charging himself with havine recklessly made false and libellous charges in his pre vious letter.- Bateman s business ad ventures are hot entitled, under any circumstances, to the srotection of the War Department, but the integ rity ana uprightness of. an officer of the Army who reports upon every ceurttiiartial proceeding which it is the duty or the Secretary of War td submit to the President for his- final action is a matter of the deepest con cern to the President,'; and to every one of bis military suhordidates. The law requires that conduct unbecom ing ail officer and gentleman shall be foUowed. by sentence of dismissal from the military service and the President alone can mitigate the sentence. If mere couia De any distinction -.every consideration requires .more than any other of3cer of the army that the Judge Advocate General should be tree, beyond question from an -imputation of such conduct. Xt is a mat ter of deep regret to me, therefore that.when the Judge Adv.ocafc-i(Q-' eral was given: an opportunity to comment upon the charges in -question, he. in rtxrruvt Mth firat artArce. AzpoHither-was not ablecrdid not see fit to make an explicit denial of its es sential part or to give in detail such facts: $rcumstan5en show the falsity of the trnaree. In stead of doing so , ha. has contented himself with statement wbjehjeon- tainS nothing to which thpv Bateman allegation nghV not possibry'be a truthful supplement. So in respect to the second charge, assisting tone- gotiate 'army pay vouchers with Bateman!& Co., which General Swaim knew to be fraudulent and triplicates of outstanding accounts. General Swaim's response fails to notice that the charge, as made by Bateman, re-" ferred not merely to the negotiation of army pay accounts but to the no-, gation of pay accounts alleged to have been known to General Swaim as fraudulent, and to this element of the charge no allusion is made in his response. It is not overlooked that the final clause of the response asking for its publication refers to the accusations as false, but his specific answers to them are evi dently intended to be found in what has gone before. If there is no proof to sustain the charges made, or if the circumstances can be explained so as to remove every impression of improper con duct on the part of the. officer in question, I am of the opinion that the welfare of the military service requires that proper steps should be taken for his vindication. ' It is not a personal, but an official and public j matter. He has not, in my view, recognized this necessity, and as he has not done so I am compelled to recommend that you appoint a court of inquiry to examine into the accu sations above mentioned, to report the facts developed by their investi gation and give their opinion thereon. Upon the receipt of this letter the President issued an order appointing a committee of inquiry. The follow . ing is the detail for the court: Major General Jno. Pope, Brigadier General Christopher Auger, Brigadier Gen eral Delos B. Sockett. Inspector Gen eral Major Robert N. Scott, Sd Artil lery, will be judge advocate and re corder. The court will meet in Wash ington, D. C, Monday, May 5, 1884. The Centre of the Earthquake Disturb ance. London. April 22. Later advices indicate clearly that Colchester was the centre of the most serious distur bance by the earthquake. It is im possible as yet to determine the ex tent of the damage. On some streets traffic has been forbidden for the E resent as the buildings have been so adly shattered that they are con sidered dangerous to life and to limb. The sidewalls of houses near Colchester were shaken out. In London there were numerous indica tions of the proximity of the earth quake. Telegraph posts were shaken and the shock was distinctly felt in Cheapside and Fleet steets. A rail way depot and a large mansion were partially destroyed at Ipswich. Ordered to Watch the Fillibnsters. Washington, April 22. The Secre tary of the Treasury and the Attor ney General have issued orders to their agents in cities bordering en the Gulf of Mexico for a strict en forcement of the neutrality laws. The agents are instructed to keep a sharp lookout for Cuban insurgents, and to intercept any fiUibustering expeditions bound for Cuba. The revenue steamers Forward and Sew ard are cruising in the Gulf on patrol duty. Xfhtit Foster Has Come For. WASHINGTON-April 20. Hon. Jno. W.

The streets of town will be dusty, the dirt will be made to circulate freely by reason of some more March wind. However, if this dust becomes unbearable the citizens will find three feet of mud just outside the city limits. And the weather for April will not be of such a style as to remedy the dust, or dry up the mud. However, we will say that when it does rain, your roof will leak, if it leaked before, and when it does not rain this leak can be stopped with Mott's Compound Fire and Water-Proof Mineral Paint, and when this is applied will not only stop all leaks, but arrest furlher decay, and at same time renders the roof fire proof. The dry season to follow this wet spell will certainly cause rapid decay, and the roof will then be in perfect condition to catch fire from sparks, etc. We will protect you at reasonable rates.
