I convention ot the houses ot the ecncral I Tttt? t 4 rTr t Veto of the latest pension craze The Sedgwick-Mexico Scandal The Blair Bill- -Sec'y. Manning to retire from the cabinet 15th of March, &c. Special Correspondence of the News. Washington, D. C, Feb. 14,187. The President has just given the coun try convincing evidence of his admira ble courage and independence in his veto of the disability -and dependent pension bill. Against a sentiment to which all parties have yielded obedience, against a preponderence of opinion in his own party in which this vicious legis lation has found so many supporters, against a majority oi Congress in which both parties have too readily consented to injudicious pension measures, and at the risk of serious disadvantage to his own political prospects, he has permit ted his convictions of right, his duty to ward the people, to influence his official course with respect to this bill.. If it had become a law it would double the annual appropriation for pensions, and its effect would be pauperizing upon the soldiers. The President was urged from many sources, notably lrom- the soldier element to refuse his approval. The veto is a remarkable message, of unusual length and ot striking, literary excellence. A shower of congratula tions is pouring in upon the President, showing that the interest felt was wide spread. It is a subject of much specu lation as to whether Congress will pass the bill over the veto. It is the opinion that a sufficient number of votes will be changed by the veto to defeat an at tempt to pass the bill. - The country is to be treated with what is alleged to. be the real circumstances-of the Tate Sedgwick scandal in Mexico; This threatened exposure of diplomatic frailty is to be made by Mr. Porch, Counsel General at Mexico, who was active in denouncing the conduct of Sedgwick despite the denials of the latter, and for which Porch claims his resignation has been demanded. Fail ing to comply with the demand of the State Department for his resignation, the President has nominated his succes sor, and hence these threatened revela tions. It will be remembered that Porch was one of those who insisted upon the truth of the charges against Sedgwick, and communicated officially with the State Department upon the matter. Sedgwick stoutly denied the charges, and his denial was accepted by Mr. Bayard as sufficient. Porch claims that he has been unjustly treated, that no consideration has been given to his statements, that the evidence of respon sible witnesses has been ignored, and he says he will fight to the end and di vulge all the lacts in the Sedgwick affair. There is a lingering suspicion irl the minds of the American people that there was considerable truth in the charges against our late special Envoy, but we have had enough of the whole matter, and it is to be regretted that any such auC oi disgusting details is to be made. It will perhaps be in order for us to hold our nose. It is stated, -on what appears to be good authority, that secretary Manning will retire from the treasury on the 15th oi March, and that assistant secretary Fairchild will succeed him as secretary. There is no longer any doubt that Mr! Manning will leave the Cabinet He has already been elected president of a ew York bank and he would not have permitted this action if he had not in tended ta accept. But that Mr. Fair child will succeed him as secretary ot the treasury is not certain, thoughde sirable. being a conspicuous example ot cml servrce reform. It is the general desire that he should receive the pro motion in recognition of his efficient services while temporarily filling th position as acting secretary.' - The senate has resolutions ol a joint convention ot the houses of the general assembly ot Indiana, (Republican mem bers), protesting against the legality of the election of David Turpie as U. S. Senator; Such contests in the house are of frequent occurrence and excite no interest except from the friends of the contesting parties. But it rarely occurs in the senate, and in view ot the legal forces that will be brought to bear, and the nearly equal division of the two par ties, the fight will attract the attention of the country. Arwearly effort will be made to bring the Blair educational bill, which pro poses liberal appropriations to the States for educational purposes, before the house for final action. The friends of the bill have made a personal canvass of the house, and believe that two-thirds of the members" are favorable and will support it when' brought before the houce. , The senate has distanced the house in the race of diligence ' for prece dence in the introduction of bills for the reconstruction of the navy and for coast defenses. The senate has already passed the "twin measures" aggrega ting $21,000,000, and on Friday there were introduced three bills which pro pose an expenditure of $38,000,000 for the increase of the naval establishment, and for mortars and heavy guns for the armament of forts, coast defences and vesse's ot the United States, The regular apptopriation bills are very backward this year. The bulk of the. business pertaining to the annual appropriations, as is usually the case, will be crowded into the few closing days of the session, to the detriment, it may be, the sacrifice of important inter ests: . It.tias been decided that thp senate committee" on educati6uaTalor shal 1 1 continue during the recess its investiga tion into the relations between capital and labor. The recess will cover "nine months and it is confidently expected that the investigation will lead to legis lation securing substantial improve ment for the laboring classes. The President 'has done nothing in the Matthews matter and it is not thought that he will re-appoint him in the face of his second rejection. Mean while Matthews occupies the position and enjoys the handsome compensation attached to the office. The tariff muddle is in the same mud dled condition and it is hardly possible' now that any reduction in. the revenue can be accomplished this session. It is a singular spectacle, and . one by no means creditable, when the national congress having the power to correct oppressive laws and relieve the people from the burdens" of admittedly useless taxation, permits motives, of a political character to thwart and defeat such purposes. ' The eulogies delivered in the senate on General Logan were eloquent trib utes to the man. the soldier and the statesman. It was a- pleasing scene when words of warmest praise and beautiful eulogy flowed from the hearts and lips of those with whom he had so widely differed, as well as from those whose sympathies and convictions he shared. The vast audience was visibly touched by the sadness ot the occa sion. , . 1 Furious Cyclone. STTELTWVTTX- Tnr1. to cyclone visited the southern part of this place yesterday morning. It was preceaea oy a junous squall. Then picvcucu juiiuua wjuiui. men, 1 mu urs& cuinpironeranaoi me Itcns of a sudden, in ono spot of tho sky ter of the Treasury, and it is suggest- was seen a rushing, twisting, whirl ing cloud. Next a sound like the ex- Klosion of a bomb was heard, and the eavens were illuminated. The two story brick barn of Isom Wray was almost completely demolished. The roof was torn off . and hurled away and the second story walls were all pushed out, but not a thing inside was injured. With this freak of fury the elements subsided and not anoth er piece of property was touched. 1 1 - . AND OF TESTATE. ThcJIurderer ofJUlt Turlington- Supposed to Have Jleen Seen in Jlltchell County.

LOST OFF IltTJLEIUlS. .1 Vessel Break up in a Ter rific Storm 111 Aboard Sup posed Dead. Cave Hatteras, N. C.t Feb. 12. Great excitement was caused here this morning during the progress of a fierce wintry storm by tho report that a vessel had been discovered by the life saving patrol at five o'clock hard and fast on the outer border of Cape Hatteras Shoals. Owing to tho un usual fury of tho storm It was impos sible to reach the wreck with any mean3 of rendering assistance to her crew. All the life saving crew could do was to watch the crippled craft with sympathy and pray for tho sub sidence of tho wind. At half-past eleven a. m. the roast of tho doomed vessel was carried away, and It is be lieved all on board have perished. Nothing was discovered by which the identity of the wreck could bo even guessed. 1 Letter in Regard to Ilerenue Tax. . Washington, Feb. 12. Secretary Manning sent to tho Houso today a letter from the Commissioners of In ternal Revcnuo relative to the bill, by tho Senate for tho repayment of di rect war taxes. Tho commissioner asks that In the event tho bill is final ly passed by both branches of Con gress that it bo mado so specific as to leave no doubt as to what is regarded as "collections within Its purposes and intents. The commissioner thinks It would be advisable to have an estimate mado of tho amounts re quired to carry out the provisions of the bill for transmission to tho ap propriations committee. Attention i3 called to an error in the quotation al ready mado for South Carolina. It should be $141,174 according to the report of tho commissioners appolnt eu to make examinations of the ac counts.
