Mr. Call, rising to a (juestion of privil

porting to have, been made, he said, by
jthe receiver of the i'lorida railway and
navigation company. The sutemiiiit re
flected on Mrs (Jail's course in the tien-
ate ik connection with a claim of the,
compsny; named to certain lauds in
FloripaJ Among other statements in
the aitiole waa one to tBe effect that
whea aslted why he ((all) had pursued
the course he had, replied thai he was
obliged to do so because he had no
money. The article further stated that
wheu; Mr Call was in. Florida he had
no money, but that now he was build
ing fine residences in Washington. Mr.
Call. ! with cteat ; warmth and indiirna-
tioh.ideoounccd the wfiole article as an
absolute falsehood arid a foul slander.
He denied that he was "building a fine
residence in Washington." For many
years, he said, a person standing in near
relation '.to 'him had had property in
ciiarge of Hon. Jas. M. Baker, and his
a accessor, in : trust as trustees. That
gentleman was now judge of the circuit
court otthe State of Florida, and was
formerly judge of the supreme court of
that State. The trustee had decided to
change the location of the investment to
Washington. ' lhe transaction had been

Florida, ; at Jacksonville, add J. J.

THE bLOOD-THIKSTY APACHES AGAIN AT
8 -. -work. ;
NotiALEs, Ariiu.ua,-April 28. About
forty Apaches paas.ed up Santa Cruz
valley early this morning, killing sev
eral Mexicans and one American. They
passed Colabassas at about 7 o'clock
this' morning. In answer to a call for
help, about forty' volunteers, well
arnled, left here at 8 o'clock on a spe
cial train for Colabassas. Scouting
parties were organized and the hostiles
weige discovered- in camp about two
niilis north of Colabassas. A second
train load of . Volunteers left at ,10
o'clock, and word was soon received
thai the Indian's were being "corralled"
and. would be held for the arrival of
troths. i : ; ' f '-;
At noon a detachment of the tenth
cavilry, under command of Capt. Lebo,
packed here for the scene. A company
of cavalry also passed Crittenden about
11 io'clock, going in the direction, of
Oolibassas. A third train has left here
with supplies. There has been intense
excitement in town all day and business
is practically suspended.
Another account says : The Indians
made the raid in the most thickly set
tled portion of Finima county Monday,
and killed the Dwens brothers, prohii
neut ranchmen,- and the wife and child
of A. L. Feck. They carried off Feck's
nieje. The attack? was entirely unex
pected the section of the county raid
ed has.been freo from such troubles ;for
many years. Feck was fired upon and
severely wounded, but managed to ; es
cape and brought' the news of the njias
saure. It is believed that the. motive
for this terrible outrage was a desire to
avenge the supposed death bf those
members of the baud who were recently
captured and isent; to Florida for im
prisonment there. Gen. Miles arrived
hee Monday night, having received in
telligence of the raid, and is prepaying
to. take active measures forr the pursuit

Montgomert, Ala., April 27. Today
will e,vbr be memorable in the history of
Alabama. Every locality was repre
sented! and many adjacent towns and
village)! poured their entire population
into thic streets of Montgomery. At an
early hour the sidewalks were so densely
packed that locomotion -was diffieult.'It
had rained all night and poured down
until 10 o'clock. The hour for deliv
ering addresses by Mr. Davis and Gen.
Gordon was changed to 2 p. m. Instead
of goiig to the park it was decided to
go to the capitol grounds, the speeches
to be ibde from the very spot where
Hon. Jefferson Davis took thd oath of
office as President of the Confederate
States j This change was made because
of the) muddy condition of the park.
The entire city is gaily decSrated
and the city hall has United States
flags fluttering out of every window.
Pictures of Confederate generals are
fastened to the outside walls, while the
names of Robert . Lee, Stonewall
Jackson, Albert Sidney Johnston and
many j other Confederate generals flut
ter to the treeze on streamers.: The
capitol was beatifully decorated. ; From
the topmast point on tbe high dome,
towering far above everything in the
city, floated the "stars and stripes."
The entire front was covered with
streamers and devices, while there was
suspended Blong the front columns im
mense federal flags, reaching down al
most to the heads of the speakers. More
federal flags .float in Montgomery today
than at any time since 1880. , Private
.houses and business houses all have a
liberal supply of decorations and devices
and ords of welcome to Mr. Davis. The
seecep around Mr. Davis this jnorninsr
aud the ilepire to see and shake him by
the hand were indescribable. People
were packed in the Exchange hotel like
sardines, and it was with difficulty that
therei was entrance and exit. ; They
wanted to see him .and nothing i would
satisfv them until thev had done so. Be-
ing feeble, it was more than he could
stand and he had to retire. A military
escort fdrmed in front of the hotel and
extended far up the avenue leading to
the capitol. It was necessary to form a
square- in order that the procession
move, lhe companies were formed and
stretched out on each side. No one was
allowed inside the lines. A carriaee
with! four white horses was at the door.
and! promptly' at 2 o'clock Mr.
Got) 0eaJan9? , tlrfor:
meny oi nis caDinet,; steppea trom tne
hotel and entered the carriage. The
shouts of die multitude as he - was seen
to emerge from the hotel were louder
than ever before heard in this city.
They had the peculiar nervous jerk
which characterized what became so fa
mous as the '" yell of the Southerners "
the jworld over. - 1 he next carnage con
tained Gen. John B. Gordon and Capt.
W.ji S. Bragg; Miss Winnie Davis,
youngest daughter of Mr. Davis, and
V0
MSfl Keise, the mayor's ! daughter
Other carriages followed with the trus
tees of the monument association and
the! Governor's staff. Amid the
wayifle of hats and handkerchiefs.
the boomine of cannon, the plaving of
bands of music and shouts louder than
ever before heard here, a scene, was pre
sented rarely witnessed in any country,
the demonstration being in honor of a
maii proscribed by the United States:
government and a tribute to the deacf
soldiers bf a cause that was lest. Thd
route of the procession was about nait a
m3e lone. The avenue is very wide;
but the crowd when it began to move
was packed from one side to; the other
When, the procession arrived at the cap

Afmilitary cordon being formed so as to
pfeven tover-rnnning the buildings and
grounds before, he had reached his
place He was seated upon the historic
spot he occupied February 15,1801. Ar
ranged in front was a place for the press
and on' the sides and in rear of
M". Davis were members of te
J variodsi organizations interested in tie
building of the monument which it is
proposed to erect.on a hill immediately
m'jear of the capitol. When order had
been secured, and for such avast throng
it was the most orderly ever seen here,
mayor Reise advanced to the front and
said : ' j I
! "My countrymen. It is with pro
found emotion that I present to you the
foremost type of Southern manhood,
Hon Jefferson Davis, ex-preaident of the
Confederate States." j
; It was the first time thousands in the
crowd had seen him since his arrival, it
being impossible for all to personally
reach him at the hotel. ; ;The shouts
finally dying away, Mr. Davis, leaning
on his. cane, with the Federal flag 4ver
him and the Confederate veterans before

to hear and see him, in a clear, ringing
voice, showing the deep intensity of his ;
feelings, but without a tremor or pause
except when interrupted ;by the shouts
of his bearers, saia: ; t
My friends, it would be vaii if I
should attempt to express to you; the
deep gratification which 1: feel at this
demonstration, but I know that it id not
personal, and therefore ,1 feel B more
deeply grateful because ; it is a senti
ment far dearer to me than my
self. You have passed through a terrible
ordeal of a war which Alabama did not
seek. When she felt her wrongs top
grievous for further toleration she
ought a peaceful solution. That being
denied her the thunders of war; came
ringing oyer the land. Her people rose
in their majesty ; ; gray-haired sires and
beardless boys eagerly rushed to the
front. It was that war which Chris
tianity; alone approved a holy war for
defoijise. Well do I remember seeing
your gentle boys, so small, to use a far
mers' j phrase, they might have been
called 'seed corn', moving on with eager
step and fearless brow to the carvival of
death. I have also looked upon them
when their knapsacks and muskets seemed
heavier than boys should use, and my
eyes, partaking of a mother's weakness,
filled with tears. Those days have
passed, Many of them have fdund
nameless graves, but they are not dead.
They live in memory and their spirits
stad out, the grand reserve of that
column which is marching on with un
faltering steps toward the goal of consti
tutional liberty. (Applause.) It were
in Vain if I should attempt, as I have
already said, to express my gratitude
to you, I am standing now very nearly
on-the spot where I stood when I took
th$ oath of office in 1861. Your de
monstration now exceeds that which
welcomed me then. This shows that
thia spirit of Southern liberty is not
dead. ; (Long and continued applause.)
Then ; you were full of joyous
hopes.; You had every : prospect
of. achieving all you desired and
now yen are wrapped in the mantle of
regrBtfand yet that regret only mani
fests more profoundly and does not ob
literate the; expression of your sentiments.-
I felt last night as I approached
the Exchange hotel, from the gallery of
which your peerless orator, William L.
Yancey, introduced me to the citizens
of Montgomery und commended me in
language whicii only his eloquence
could yield and which far exceeded my
merit; I felt, I say again, that I was
coining to my home; . coming to a land
where, liberty dies not and serious senti
ments,' will live forever. (Applause),
t have been promised, my friends, that
I should not be called upon to make a
ipeech, and therefore I will only extend
to vou my heartfelt thanks. God bless
you all."
At the conclusion of this brief speech
there was another burst of applause.
The address was delivered by Gen.
John B. Gordon. He received a
rand welcome, s many soldiers whom
e had" commanded were present,

JfO SUBTHEE news from the seat of wab.
The publication yesterday of the tele
graim from Asheville announcing that
Mr. Richmond Pearson had sent a chal
lenge to Gen. Johustone Jones created
quite a sensation. No further news
was received yesterday.
some weeks ago Mr. Pearson pub
lished a pamphlet, wherein he attacked
Geni Johnstone Jones individually and
for his position in the stock law-matter.
Geni Jones had voted for that measure
tinnjr while Mr. Pearson hid
voted against it. mere were ruuv
very bitter and extremely personal
words in Mr. Pearson'B pamphlet. j
The card of Gen. Jones which was re
ferred to occupied eleven columns in
the. Asheville papers. It was . cleverly
and forcibly written, and hence was
most readable. It approached very
nearly the limits of controversial writing
more than once, but the clause which
provoked the reported challenge was
probably the following : "Mr. Tear-
soitt s sole apparent reason ior voting
against the law as to redeem his
pledee. He made a formal and nominal
redemption of that pledge; and this is
what he calls consistency ! ; Consistency
is, indeed, a jewel, as has been poeti-

Special Cor. News and Observer.
Washington, April 88.
It is a source of pleasure to me to be
able to inform the readers of The News
and Observer that the Blair hill is rap
idly on the mend and its convalescence
is an event early expected.
Yesterday the committee on labor re
ported back a substitute for the Blair
bill. The request was made, as usual,
that the original bill referred to it be
aid on the table. Just here Hon. J.
W. Reid, who had been on the alert all
day, arose and demanded, as a matter of
privilege, that the Blair bill be put on
the calendar as an adverse report to the
substitute reported by the committee.
This order was promptly made by the
presiding officer,--Mr. Springer, of Illi
nois, and Representative Reid now wears
the honor of having succeeded in his
efforts untiring and effective, at last-
to get the unaltered Blair bill on the
calendar. And; I Bay hurrah for Hon.
James W. Reid, and thousands of
throats in North Carolina will voice the
same sentiment. His resolution in the
conference of the friends of the bill has
borne its fruit- and it is good fruit.
The substitute reported by the commit
tee provides that the receipts from the
sale of public lands and the other reve
nues of the general land -office shall be
divided among the several btatea and
Territories in proportionjto their school
population for educational purposes for
the next ten years. Twenty-five per
cent of the sum is to be used for indus
trial and technical instruction, and the
remainder for the -Common schools. The
Committee agreed that the individual
members should not be bound by their
vote in committee, either in support of
Or against the measure when it comes up
for consideration h the House.
The money is to be divided among
the States according to the number of
school children between the ages of
eight and fourteen years, j Not more
than 7,000,000 are to be distributed in
one year, and the money is to be dis
bursed by the Mate officers, as the State
school funds are. lhe amount de
rived from public lands for the
past few years has averaged between
five and eight millions. The amount
received from this source last year was
$10,302,582,49. A minority of foor of
the committee hie a minority- report
against the substitute, alleging as grounds
of opposition that the vote of the House
referring the Blair bill to the labor
committee meart that the committee
should report the bill back without
House calendar. That"theu0utJ5
too uncertain, as the average amount re
ceived from 4and sales for the past ten
years does not equal the amount appro
priated by the bill. That the enact
ment of this law will stimulate the sale
of the public lands, which will go into
the hands of speculators, cattle grazers
and foreigners, when they should be re
served for homestead for actual settlers.
Lastly, that the bill is . too loose in its
provisions, as it does not require any re
port showing how or whetherthe mOney
has been applied to school purposes
The educational bill is now in a : fairer
way for; favorable consideration than at
any time since the session began. : All
honor to Representatives Reid, Hender
son, Cowles and Johnston for their
efforts in behalf of this beneficent meas
ure. Every member of our delegation
will vdte for it when a vote is had and
I hope. to see it become a law before the
present session ends. 1 Llewxam.
