After discussion the report was or
dered printed and Mr. Cullom gave no

ince of Congress to legislate upon the
subject.
A bill was introduced by Mr. Vance
to repeal chapter 27 of the aets of 1883
relating to the eivil service. This is

and the wife with 'her two children, a

iwas no reunion of that onee nappy
family. It waa not until yesterday that
the iatner met ois osugater, wno is now
some fifteen years of age. He had not

Alter tnc transaction or some unim
portant routine business, the House in
the morning hour went into committee
of the whole (Mr. Crisp in . the chair')
on the bill for the allotment of land
in severalty to the Indians.
The discussion of the bill oonsumed
...
the morning nour, but no vote was
reached.
On motion of Mr. Warner, of Mis
souri, a bill was passed bringing the
sities of Atlanta, Galveston, St. Paul,
Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Kansas City
end Omaha under the provisions of see
toon O.iyi a. a., which requires na
tional banks in certain cities to keep on
hand money of the United States equal
to 25 per oent of their circulation and
deposits.
The House then went into commit
tee of the whole on the sundry eivil ap
propriation bilL
An amendment was adopted ap
propriating $147,600 for? the construc
tion of a light-house supply steamer for
use on the Atlantio and Gulf coasts.
Mr. Symes, of Colorado, offered sev
eral amendments, including the appro
priations for the signal service bureau,
and these being opposed by Mr Randall,
he proceeded to eritieige that gentle
man s action as chairman or the oommit
tee on appropriations. - He did not envy
the gentleman who lived upon the At
lantio coast his narrow-minded states
manship, which did not cross the Mis
sissippi river. If the gentleman did
not grow fast enough on princi
ples of statesmanship to extend
the same 'privileges to the people
of the West, those people would
see that a man was made chairman of
tbe oommitte on appropriations whose
vision extended beyond a few signal
stations on tbe Atlantio coast.
Mr. Randall in reply, said that the
pendisgbill carried more appropriations
for the jPaoifio coast than any similar
bill for years put

that duty, certainly

ioal writers of this country, was a man
who was a pretended leader of a
great party and whose only stock
in trade was the ability to go through
the appropriations with a oheeae paring
knife, and, cutting j off a few dollars
here and a few dollars there, make a re
duction of $5 000,000 from the appro
priations of last year. That waa te
oheapest character of statesmanship that
had ever led a country on to material
prosperity. If that was the statesman
ship of the great leaders of the demo
cratic party, God save the oountry frm

Mr. Randall predicted that the demo

neers estimates for river and harbor
improvements were taken up by the
House committee today and the items of
appropriation were roughly fixed for all
the harbors and some of the rivers on
the Atlantic coast from Maine to Mary
land' inclusive. In fixing the appropri
ations, the committee pursued the pol
ity of allowing about 25 per cent, of
the amounts which the chief of engineers'
reports ean be- profitably expended
on in provements. If this I poliev
is ad hered to the result will be a bill
making an appropriation of between
seven and eight millions. The: secre
tary of war recommended a gross ap
propriation of ten millions with a view
to facilitating action on the bill in the
Senate and avoiding a oot fliot between
the two bouses. The House committee
is consulting members of the Senate
commerce committee on the details of
the bill, and several items have alreadv
been inserted k their suggestion.

Aa Alarming- rntmf af A flair.
Chabustobt, Dec. 15. A week ago
the News and Courier published a dis
patch from York county, 8. C , report
ing that a white boy n air ed John Lee
Good cad been so beaten and mangled
that he roon died, and that four colored
men bd been arrested u the murderers
and committed to jail. It was stated
that the theory, was that some of the
negroes had been detected by the boy in
the aet of stealing cotton from his father's
field, and that to prevent their arrest they
killed him. There was great excite
ment in the county in consequence, and
several more arrests were made. The
News and Courier, to get at all the facts,
sent a special correspondent to York
(Jounty, and will publish tomorrow the
result of his investigatiocs. There is
evidently an alarming state of affairs
in York County, and it is proved
conclusively that an organisation exis's
among the colored people whioh con
templates murder in the event of the
detection of any member accused of the
crime. Twenty-six negroes are now
under arrest. The inquest on the body
of the murdered boy before a discreet
jury brought out all the facts. One of
the negroes turned state s evidence and
another admitted that he had killed a
man who was murdered in the county
eighteen months ago. .Several. of the
colored witnesses at the inquest swore
that they had a club or elan in the oonn
ty for the purpose of stealing cotton,
provisions, whiskey, &o. The
members were to steal whatever
. . a a ai . .
they wanted, and u detected were
sworn to kill the person who
deteoted them. The elub had different
names, but was generally known i
'Rising Star lodge No. 24, of the
Grand United Order cf National Labor
ers and Protective Sooicty of North
America."
The charter came from Charlotte, N,
C, and is dated December, 1S84. This
charter, however, would seem to show
that the society had only benevolent
nd fraternal objects. Among other
things revealed at the inquest was ft
plot to waylay Elias lnman, who
was thought to have money, but the as
sassins missed him. One of the wit
nesses gave a detailed aeount of the
murder of the poor boy, John Lee Good.
and also the names of his accomplices
in the crime. The talk of a general
lynching has abated, but indignation
and unrest aUll prevail.

Petitions are coming in now to Con
gress against future stimulating of im
migration. ; They are from the west,
but the people are beginning to see the
evil effects of constantly dumping the
refuse of the old world upon our
shores. The South had better be care
ful. Don't let us send out with a rake
and wheelbarrow to get population, for
already the eye of the world is directed
towards us, and daily I hear such names
as Birmingham, Ala., ringing in the
air. Solid population is drifting to
wards us.

The stevedore trouble in Wilmington.
whioh originated by the opposition of
union laborers to the employment cf
non-union men, is not yet ended.
' For several days past a force of police
has been kept stationed on the wharves
for the protection of the non-union la
borers at work, and it was onee thought
that a call of the militia would be nec
essary to quell the disturbance made by
the union men. The Wilmington 8 tar
has the following acoount of an occur
rence supposed to be eonnceted with the
trouble:
Simon Richardson, colored, was shot
and severely wounded about 7 o'oloek
last night. Riohardson was on his way
home, when just as he turned the cor
ner of Nixon street three men rose up
a short distanos from him and fired three
times at him with a pistol. The first
shot struck Richardson in the hip, but
the second and third missed. After
firing the last shot his assailants ran.
It is supposed that the men who fired
at Riohardson shot him by mistake for
Wm. Howe, the colored stevedore, and
that they were lying in ambush for the
latter near his home. There is a close
resemblance between the two men, and
one might easily be taken for the other.
Riohardson said that he recognised the
man that shot him
About 12 o'clock last night Deputy
Sheriff Strode arrested Nathan Jones,
colored,- who is accused of firing the
shot that wounded Riohardson.

report on ootton futures says: A
sharp motion has followed yesterday's
flurry and the market went off some 15
points with a trifle steadier tone at the
close, though no positive strength. The
break has been a partial if flection from
Wall street aa an almost panicky feeling
in stocks already causes a stringent
money market and foreshadows oonsid- .
erable difficulty in the matter of ex "'
ohange, so that the lonars hare nold ant
their cotton with much freedom and no
really ne investment demand came.
Several of our heaviest concern; how
ever, have absorbed offerings m a man
ner that prevented a more serious break
and afforded a slightly promising un- 1
