' Washington March 16. Sinati.
The chair announced as members of the
committee on the part of the Senate to
escort; the remains of Representative
H&hn to Louisiana, Messrs.? Eustis,
Vance and Butler. I
I Mr. Morrill, from the committee on
finance, , reported adversely Senator
Mahone's bill to allow drawbacks on
imported materials used in manufac
turing 'tobacco, snuff and cigars export
ed from the United States, and to repeal
the law requiring the appointment of
inspectors of tobacco and cigars. .
3 On motion of Mr. VanWyck, the
Bouse bill increasing the pension of
soldiers and widows was taken up.
! After" a debate by Messrs J Butler,
liogan, Cockrell, jVanWyck, Ingalls and
Jackson; the fear: bing general that the
widows increase pensions would be in
definitely postponed by sending the bill
to the House with so many amendments
that it would involve debate, a mo
tion wasmade by Mr. Wilson o recon
sider the Senate s action in amending
the bill - This motion was agreed to
and all amendments were disagreed to,
and the bill passed as it came jfrom the
House. It now needs only the Presi
dent's signature to become a flaw. It
increases the pensions of widows and de
pendent relatives from $8 to $12 per
month. ; ;
:; At 2 o'clock the judiciary committee
resolutions came up and MrJ Cullom
took" the fioor. He yielded, however,
to Mr. Morrill, who wished to j reply to
Mr Kenna. The latter in a speech had
read a letter signed by Mr. Morrill as
chairman of the committee on finance,
and had stated that the letter 1 was the
beginning of the present controversy,
i Mr. Morrill said that when the Senate
met in December the fiuance committee
had pursued its usual routine duties
jnd had written to the secretary of the
treasury a letter identical in terms with
the one read by Air. Kenna, calling for
information in regard to the suspension
of an official in the treasury department,
which information had been given
promptly and was so satisfactory that
the Senat had no hesitation in confirm
ing a successor to the suspended official.
Wr. Morrill said the policy pursued bv
?ueV w orrui; j
mffbef tbe l"ee andjthecom- j
mittee had never been t refused ! until re
fently. In his statement he (Morrill)
had found great ' difficulty in avert-
"ftig the betrayal of -iexecuiiy ses
ion secrets. He 'stated 1 a hypothetic xl
ase as being one : to which the above
circumstances applied and there was no
difficulty in recognizing it as that of a
conecior 01 internal revenue in mo in
terior of the SUte of New York.
Mr. Cullom then resumed the floor and
aid the)refusal of the attorney general to
lurnish the papers called for by the Sen
ate was a denial of theight of the Senate
to inquire into the management of a
public office. He (Cullom) denied that
ine question was a "moot question, as
characterized by Mr. rugh. io ques-
t'on could be a "moot question,' Mr.
Cullom thought, that was directed to
ascertaining whether an American citi-
ecn bad been unjustly treated by having
false and slanderous charges and secret
assaults made against him,' and filed in a
public .department, to blacken his
character and injure his good name.
As this ; opening-paragraph Indicates.
Mr. Cullom's argument was based, on
like premises with that of Mi. Wilson,
of Iowa, and it followed upon! a similar
line. The Senator from Alabama had
said the attorney general, in refusing
papers, had acted under orders of the
President, and bad seemed to think it
would be a great calamity for the attor
ney general to disobey presidential or
ders, as it might result in toe loss of nis
office. :The Senator was doubtless
risht. It might be that a Democrat
could imagine no greater calamity than
the loss of his office, but the law should
be obeved whether suoh a disaster was
averted or not. The attorney general was
un officer of the law. His duties were
defined by law, and' it was his duty to
obe whether it cost him his of
fioe ot not. The senator stated in his
minority report that from 1789 to 1867
there could not be found a single ease
like the one under discussion. The
truth waa that in the hundreds of calls
that had been made there could be found
very few instances in which information
asked for had. not been furnished to
euner nguse. ioere mignt not do an
other case exactly like the present one
in all respects, but there had been hun
dreds substantially like' it in principle
if not in all the facts. A 'prominent
fact was that when either branch of
Congress; had called for an information
it had usually been furnished!, and that
in the exceptional eases in which it had
not been, the refusal was. not based on
the' constitutional prerogatives of the
President. When the President sus
pended Duskin he did it under the ten
ure of office act. : so the case stood; that
the President proposed to obey the law
in getting men out of office,; but ques
tioned tits constitutionality when the
Senate Under that law said it had a right
to inquire into his act of suspension, and
to do that intelligently needed all the
papers OP hie ihe President used the
law; in suspending men from office, and
of. then involuntarily in his njessage mti-
mated tnat tne senate was attempting to
interfere with his high and mighty pre
rogatives as chief
executive. Verily
consistency was not a jewel conspiou
ously worn in these days of "Jefferso-
nian simplicity." Following ' tbe
Kenna idea, Mr. Cullom suggested a
nypotof ucu cajs w wnicn an umee
Beeker forwarded forged documents in
the semblance of billa - of indictment
against an incumbent" It might per
haps be assumed that the President had
the. right, as he claimed, to consider
sues communication mm imvate papers
but after he forwarofaaem to a de
partment and pla( them on its files
they certainly became public papers. If
the President has remSved no officers
except for cause, some such papers
. m l -w -
must nave Deen niea. indeed, such
documents had been invited by the
present administratien, in evidence of
winch Mr. Cullom read the celebrated
confidential letterof postmaster general
Vilas, showing that documentary evi
dence would be required in making re
movals, in whieh circular the postmaster
general stated - that he spoke for
tbe President. If such papers
were now ' on file, ? the : Sen
ate was entitled to them -and the
rreeident ought in good faith to pro
uuce inem. u mere, were no such
papers on file, let hint; say so, nod the
country could judge Bow wfU he had
redeemed every pledge he had made to
the people. Mr. Cullom disclaimed any
intention to keep his friends in office,
but protested against secret or "star
chamber" proceedings that reflected on
the personal character of honest men.
Men should not be allowed to come
sneakingly to the postoffioe department,
at the invitation of the postmaster-general,
and lodge secret complaints against
honest . men. A refusal to produce
papers would be an admission that they
could not bear the light.
Mr: Maxey followed Mr. Cullom.
He -opposed the resolutions reported
from the majority of the committee. He
said the real question at issue was one
of grave importance. The Duskin case
had been merely seized on as an occa
sion to raise an issue with the President.
Mr. Maxey inquired where the Senate
found authority to condemn a head of a
department under the circumstances of
this case ? Who so well as that officer
could know the facts on which his action
rested. ? Referring to Mr. Edmunds'
likening of the President's recent mes
sage to a communication of King Charles
i, Air. maxey. said the similitude did
not exist. The fatal imbecility that
brought the king to the block by
a i em b lance of a .court a court
organized to convict would not be
found in this case. He who would at
tempt to play the role of Cromwell here
would find that this is not the country
for it, or this the occasion for it. The
Cromwell had not yet been born who in
tbe name of the senate could grasp the
constitutional powers vested in the ex
ecutive of this republic. After compli
menting the speeches of : Messrs. Pughi
and rienna, Mr Maxey proceeded; with
his own argument. : However much the
issue might be disguised.he said the real
object was to ascertain the President's
reasons ffor 'suspensions w rtmiovals of
of oHeer8. It was an attempt to do in
directly what confessedly could not be
directly done The report of the ma
jority of the committee Mr. Maxey
characterized as simply a "stunm
speech,' dignified with the name! of a
committee's report.-
Mr. Dolph followed Mr. Maxey and
spoke in support of the majority report.
He said, he would not discuss the Ques
tion as to the right of Congress to be in
formed how the laws had been executed
or as to the state of the Union. Upon
that branch of the question he would
content .himself by saying that .he con
curred wholly with what had been So
ably said by the Senator from Vermont
(Mr. Xidmunds.) Mr. Dolph addressed
himself to tbe last clause of the majority
resolution. That clause related to the
discharge from goyernment servico of
ex-Union Boldiers and the filling of their
places by men who had not rendered a
similar: service to the country. : Mr
lsoipn contended tnat tne provisions
of tbe law intended, for the protection of
Union Veterans had been disregarded by
the present administration. He said the
discrimination against these veterans in
removals and appointments amounted
to a practical nullification of the law.
Ihe senate adjourned with Mr. Dolph
sun holding the floor.

Under the call of States the following
bills and resolutions were introduced

take up the President's.messrage, recom
mending the payment of indemnity to
China for outrages perpetrated upon the
Chinese in this country. Chairman Bel

By "Mr. Reid, of North Carolina, a
preamble reciting the fact of the pusage
of the Blair educational bill by the
senate and tnat tne report oi tne House
committee on education has postponed
its consideration until the third Monday
in April, a time when the session may
be loo far advanced to secure the proper
consideration of the bill; declaring that
it is undemocratic, unrcpublican, unjust
and unfair to prevent action on the bill
by unusual delay in reporting it to the
House, and directing the committee on
education to report it forthwith, with
such recommendation : as it may see
proper. ." '
By Mr, Skinner, of North Carolina,
to provide an inland water-way from

By Mr, Cjx, of North Carolina, to

Mr. Bland, under instructions from
the committee on . coinage, weights and
measures, moved to suspend the rules
and adopt the following resolutions :
That House bill 5,960, "for the; free
coinage of silver,'.' bo made the special
order for the 20 and 27 inst. and April
3d and tbe same to be again taken up
April 6th, after the morning hour for
the consideration of bills repotted by
committees, and so continue from day to
day until disposed of; provided that

thereon at 3 o'clock April 8th; this
order not to interfere with revenue or
general appropriation bills, except
April 8th, fixed for the final disposition
of this order.
Mr. Hiscock, of New York, demanded
a second, and the motion was seconded;:
96 to 28. After some debate the mo
tion to suspend the rules and adopt- the
resolution' was agreed to; yeas 179, nays
87. The announcement of the result
was greeted with applause from the sil
ver men. j The vote cannot, however,
be regarded as a test vote, inasmuch as
such well known opponents of free coin
age of silver : as " Messrs. Findlay, of
Maryland; and Bayne and Scott, of
Pennsylvania, voted in the affirmative;
while Messrs. Blount, of Georgia; Cur
tin, of Pennsylvania, and Daugherty, of
Florida, who at first voted in the nega
tive, changed their votes at the: solicita
tion of friends who desired that the dis
cussion should be held. Had not this
change been made the motion would :
have lacked the necessary two-thirds in j
the affirmative,
Mr. Reagan, from the committee on
commerce, moved to suspend the rules
and adopt a resolution making the inter
State commerce bill a continuing order
for April 13th. Agreed to; yeas 195,

Death of Vmpu James I. Waddcll.
Asjupous, Md, March 16 Capt.
James I. Waddell, commander ot - the
Mar j land fishery forces, died last night
at his home in this city, of congestion of
the brain., He, was a native of North
Carolina. His age was sixty-two. Capt.
Waddell graduated at the naval acad
emy in 1849, having previously served
at Vera Cruz against Mexico. He served
m the United States navy until the re
bellion broke out, when he resigned and
entered the Confederate navy, being
placed in command of the famous She
nandoah, .with which he waged war
against vessels in tbe Arctic sea, de
stroying much valuable commerce, i
Capt. Waddell : was born, m North
Carolina in 1824, and entered the Amer
ican navy in 1838. At the age of 14, when
a midshipman, he was insulted by a Sen
ior officer. He challenged huh and a
duel was fought at Norfolk, in which
midshipman Waddell received a wound
in the thigh which gave him a' limp to
the day of his death.
In 1849 Capt. Waddell graduated at
the Naval Academy, having in the mean
time seryed at V era Uruz, against : the
Mexicans. This would have made him
one of the beneficiaries of the Mexican
pension bills. He served ' in the
United Stat s . navy until the
civil war began. He resigned and went
into the Confederate navy. In this be
was given command of the well known
Shenandoah, and with his vessel he
went into the North Pacific, entered the
Arctic seas, and destroyed thousands of
dollars of commerce. The war had been
over nine months when he heard of it
from an English vessel. Most of his peo-'
pie begged him to run the vessel ashcrc
and let each man look out for him
self. This Capt. Waddell refused to
do, but set sail for Liverpool, where he.
arrived in due time, running the gaunt
let of the United States navy for 20,000
miles. He surrendered to the Queen of
England, ihe only instance of the kind
on record. He had made a narrow es
cape, for an American war steamer! was
now close at his heels.
After the war Capt. .Waddell ;was
made commander Of the steamship San
Francisco, of the Pacific mail; line be
tween the ports of Yokohama; and San
Franciscoi On one of his trips his 'ves
sel struck on a rock not down on the
chart and sank. The captain behaved
in the coolest and bravest manner, and
saved the passengers and crew, with pro
visions, and landed them on the neigh
boring coast, from which the whole of
them were safely taken. The highest
board of inspectors in San Francisco ex
onerated Capt. Waddell from all bfame
Capt. Waddcll married Misa Iglehart,
daughter of James Iglehart, of Balti
more. They have no children.

Knights of Labor have the upper-hand

tfiis is true, yet the sentiment of the
people is against the strikers, but busi

living near here permitted his cattle to
stray and a number of cows and two
calves were impounded byanother man.

adjourned to Saturday next. The point
of it is that the man whose cattle were
pimpounded claims that their impounding
was unlawful and that the stock law m
really not not lawfully in operation in
Wake. He claims that he can prove
that the lawful "county fence has never
been completed and that until such time
as it is entirely completed the law is not
operative. He will introduce one of the
county commissioners as a witness to
prove that the fence is not completed;
The matter will be fully argued S&tur.

The Striker Jnttilaat. ; : f '
Marshall, Texas, March 16-4The
train from New Or leans yesterday morn
ing brought thirty men, some of
whom were mechanics to, go to work in
the' shops. They were marched to tbe
superintendent's office jsnd sworn to
protect themselves and he company's
property. They were then marehed to
the shops. the occupation of each was
ascertained and they were enrolled and
nuiabers were assigned) them. They
then dined at the company's expense.
The nun were told before leaving'New
Orleans that everything was quiet; that
no strike existed, and that they were
wanted to take tho places of men who
had quit work. They claim that they
were deceived and that the situation
was misrepresented to them, and as soon
as tbey saw the condition "of affairs they
refused to work, and are now quartered
among the strikers. The Btrikerj, of
oouase, were jubilant over the walk-out
of the new men.
Sr. Locis, March 16.-r-There is no
change in the situation this morning at
the Missouri Pacific yards!. Large num
bers of strikers congregated just outsufe
the yards, but maintained perfect quiet.
An attempt to send out the Kirk wood
accommodation train this morning failed ,
the fireman deserting the engino before
it was attached to the train and the en
gineer returning to the round-house. No
attempt has been made o resume the
freight traffic as yet. The situation in
east St. Louis remains unchanged, no
strike having as yet occurred among the
dissatisfied switchmen. Considerable
anxiety is felt as to the outcome of this
new complication,, : out tne railway
officials generally express! confidence in
tneir aDUity to aajust matters ueivrc
their employees determine to strike.
