Grover Cleveland la a native oZ New Jersey, born at Caldwell, Kssex County, March 18, 1837. His father was a minister, and the President has living relatives prominent among the Prot­ estant clergy. not to speak of hi<j numerous clerical ancestors. After receiving such instruc­ tion as was procurable from the common school in various places of the paternal residence, young Cleveland was sent to the academy at Clinton, Oneida County, N. Y. Upon leaving this seat of learning he went to New York City, where he filled for some time the position of clerk in an institution of charity. He is next heard of making his way West, with an enterprising young man, with Cleveland, Ohio, as his ob­ jective point: but visiting, while on his way, an uncle residing in Buffalo, he was induced to remain in that, city as clerk in the store of his relative. He was 18 years of age at the time, an ambitious young fellow < ossessed of the earnest desire to become a successful lawyer. His uncle favored his aspiration,and we soon tind the youth s clerk in the office of a prominent law firm, and at the same time enjoying the comforts of a good home at his relative's house. He was ad­ mitted to the bar in 1859. His fiist political otHce was as Assistant District Attorney for the connty of Erie, under C. C. Torrance. He held the position three years, until the end of his superior's term of office, when he was nominated for District Atto ney on the Demo­ cratic ticket, but was defeated. In 187U, live years after this failure, he was elected Sheriff of Erie Conner, and in November. lHul, was elect­ ed Mayor of Buffalo by a decided majority. His incumbency of this office was successful and popular. In the fall election of 1882 Mr. Cleve­ land was elected Governor of New York, re­ ceiving 535,:il8 votes to for Folger. He was nominated lor President July 12, and was elected Nov. t, reoeivlng 4,874,989 votes to 4,881,- 981 for Blaine, 178,370 for Butler, and 150,369 for St. John. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS, VICE PBEHTT>ENT. Thomas A. Hendricks was born in Ohio on the 7th of September, l«U>. H ; was graduated from South Hanover College, in that State, in 18*0, when he removed to Chambersburg, Pa., and began the study of law. Thro® years lat'i he was ^omitted to the bar and began the practice of his profession in Indiana. His career opened auspiciously, and in a few years he be­ came a lawyer of excellent standing. In 18*8 he was elected to the State Legislature, and in 1850 was a* delegate to the State Constitutional Convention. The next year he was elected to the House of liepresentatives, and in I85:t his term expired. He was appointed Commissioner of the General Land Office by President Pierce, and from this on he has been on ' of the most impor­ tant political characters in Indiana, in 18 0 he ran for Governo'1 against Henry S. Lane, and was defeated. He was elected to the' Lnited States Senate in lSfiH lor the long term. After leaving the Senate in ho practiced law in Indianapolis until 1K73. He was then made the candidate for Governor of the State, and was elected l>y a majority of 1,148. His nains was presented to the Democratic National Convention in 1868 m candidate for the Presidency, and he would no donbt have received the nomination but for the Ohio delegates, who, by persistentlv voting for Horatio Seymour, finally caused a stampede In his favor. Again, in 1872, he was proposed as a candidate in the Democratic National Con­ vention. and but for the unexpected fusions of that time he would probably have be.'ja the nominee of his party. He was nominate for Vice President in 1876, and was nominated for the same office in lsat. He was married near Cincinnati on the 25th of September, lrtis, to Miss Eliza C. Morgan, by whom he had one son, born tn 1848, but who lived to bo only a y. axs of ace. This was the only child, and its death greatly affected the father. He was nurtured in the Presbyterian faith, snd was a member of that communion until the o carn ation of St Paul's Kpiscopal Church in Indianap lia in the year 1802, when he became a member of that parish, and was elected Senior Warden. THOS. F. BATAftD, Oi' DELAWAHE, SECRETAET OF STATE. Thomas F. Bayard is the hereditary Senator from Delaware, representing the third suc­ cessive generation of his family to occupy a seat in the United States Senate from that State. Besides his grandfather and father, his nncle, Richard 1!., was a m mber o that bodv from 1886 to 18«) and fi om 1841 to 1845. A great- uncle, Col. John Bayard, was a member of the Congress of con ederation of 1"85. Two brothers named • avard were among the Huguenots that tied ,rom Franca to escape the massacre of St. Bartholomew's day in 158,".

In 1883 1»# was re-electe I, and his term of service would not have expired until March 8, 1889. ation of Abraham Lincoln, the First Repub­ lican President dential nomination. Senator Bavard's career as a lawyer has nothing in it of more than local importance, though he has long been recog­ nized as one ot the best lawyers in his State. He has made a record in the Senate of being a diligent, conservative, and watchful member. His constant attendance on the ses­ sions of the Senate, his long service in that body, and his close attention to its business, have made him one of the best-informed Sena­ tors. Though a thorough partisan, his political opinions have not narrowed his grasp of public affairs. He is a graceful and pleas? nt speaker, but is not given to much talking. He is a man of good judgment, well balanced, and deliber­ ate. Personally he is tall, smooth-laced, and a fine specimen of physical manhood in the prime of life. Socially Mr. Bayard's family is said to be exclusive, ana to have aristocratic tendencies. He, however, is of a genial nature and popular with his fellow Senators. WILLIAM C. KNDICOTT, OF MASSACHUSETTS, SECRETARY OF WAR. William C. Eudicott is a native of Salem, Mass., where he still res des. and is now abont years old. He gradu ted from Harvard Col­ lege in 1847, and entered upon the practice of law in 1850. Gov. Washburn appointed him to a place on the Supreme bench of Massachusetts, which position he resigned in 1882 on account of ill-health. Until i860 Judge Endicott was an old-line Whig, but from that time forward was a Democrat. He never was prominent in politics until the last campaign, when he was the Democratic candidate for Gov- Mr: Xtittoln's Departure from and Secret Journey to Wash' ington ernor of the Bay State. As a lawyer he Is said i adroit management of Mr. Manning, and his to be thorough, painstaking, and dignified. He stood high in the ranks of the judiciary while a member of the Supreme bench.

Lamar is a native of the State of Georgia. He comes of an old family which lias distinguished Itself in government affairs ever since the Declaration of Independence. He was born in 1825, and graduated from Kmory Col­ lege, Georgia, in 1845. He was admitted to the bar in 1S17. H^ moved to Mississippi in 1849 and soon after was elected adjunct professor of mathematics in the university of that Stats. At the same time he held t he place of assistant editor of the Southern Herieir. He returned to Georgia in 1850, locating at Covington for the practice of law. He was elected to the Legislature ot Georgia in 18>:i. and in 1854 moved to Lafayette Connty, Miss., where he owned a plantation. He was elected to Congress in 18 >(i, and re-elected in 1858. He resigned his reat in 18ti0 to become a member of the Seces­ sion Convention of his State in I8t>i, and the sama year entered th-3 Confederate army, t>eing shortly j r^moted to a colonelcy. In 180H Presi­ dent Davis sent him to Russia on a diplomatic mission At the c.'ose of the war in I8(iti. he be­ came professor- of political economy and social science in the University of Mississippi, and the following year professor of law in that institu­ tion. He was elected to Congress in 1872 and again in 1874. and succeeded James L. Alcorn in the United States Senate in 1877, to which place he was re-elected for the term beginning March 5,1 83. *He has been in public life ever since he came of age, and is a man of large experience, though not a hard worker like Bayard. He is quiet, reticent, and something cf an idealist. During the troublous recons-ruction period he was liberal and conscientious WILLIAM F. VILAS, OF WISCONSIN, POSTMASTER GENERAL. William V.

Garland was born in Tipton County, Tennessee, June 11,1832. His parents removed to the Stale of Arkansas the following year ami settled in the bottom lands of the Bed River Valley. At a suitable aue young Garland was sent to Bardstown. Ky., to be educated in what was then the most famous seat of learning in the So- thwest. His academic studies were Eursued in the Catholic colleges of St. Mary and t. Joseph. During the latter part of his resi­ dence in Bardstown he read law. and attended^ the trial of causes in the court-room whenever he had the opportunity. At that time the local bar was very strong. < Garland profited greatly by this practice as well as by his studies, w hlch he pursued with persistent devotion. Return­ ing home he continued to -woo that jealous mis­ tress the Jaw. and in 18".:) was admitted to pr;<c- tl e at Washington. Ark. In 1851 he removed to Little Rock, the capital of the State. He was admitted to practice as an attorney in th: Su­ preme Court of the United htates on Dec. 26, 1-60. By that time he had attained professional reputarion. and in the same ye r was a Bell and hverett elect r. He opposed the seces­ sion of Arkansas as long as there was any hope of a pe ceful solution ot sec ional differ­ ences.

Daniel Manning was educated in a newspaper office. He began at the age of *•> as an errand- boy, became a reporter at. 15, snd subsequently a city editor, and graduated the general man­ ager of a newspaper company. He afterward became identified with the management, of the Commercial National Pank of Albany, and finally its President. While employed in the newspaper ottice he became familior with local politics, and aa a reporter of legislative pro­ ceedings of New York he acquired an extmsiv© acquaintance with State political affairs. He already had something more than a local repu­ tation as a politician when, in ls7»>. he became a member of the New York State Demo­ cratic Central Committee, of which bodv lie was made Chairman in lss>. He managed the cam­ paign that elected Cleveland Governor of New York, and was the first to name the latter for the Presidency. Cleveland's nomination for the office is generally conceded to be due to the election to the no less ably conducted Presiden­ tial campaign in New York. Mr. Manning is a remarkably - uceessful organizer and shrewd politician. He has had no experience in publlo affairs nor as a minag r of great financial inter­ ests. His personal habits of close economy and his success in private business enterprises may be the foundation for great sucoess as Secretary of the Treasury. His record is yet to lie made, ifr. Manning is 47 years of age and a native of Albany, N. Y VILLI AM C. WHITNEY, OF NEW YORK, 8ECBETA- * RT OF THE NAVY. William C. Whitney was born at Conway, Mass., in 1840. He graduated at Yale College in 181)3, and at the Harvard law school in 18<>4. He at once began the practice of law in New York City, and speedily drifted into politics. He was appointed Corporation Counsel of New York City upon the downfall of the Tweed ring. His energy and ability in clearing up the mass of litigation that grew out of the ring s fraudulent transactions made his reputation as a lawyer. He laid the foundation of a comfortable fortune in his profession, and completed It by marrying | a daughter of Oliver W. Payne, of Ohio, one of j the millionaire stockholders of the Standard Oil i Company. Throughout his political career he ] has enjoyed intimate relations with Samuel J. Tilden, and has tailored under ths advice and direction of the sage of Greystone for the over- : throw of Tammany and the ma hiiie rule of New York City. Mr. Whitney conoeived the plan of organizing the County Democracy of New York, and largely aided in its execution. He is a suc­ cessful organizer, and, atter Daniel Manning, did more than any other one man to secure ; Cleveland's nomination and election, lia im a ' clean-handed Democrat. As a majority ot the voters at the last election were unborn OT too young to know from recol­ lection the circumstances of Mr. Lincoln's in­ auguration. a reproduction of the principal In­ cidents will prove interesting. We reproduce from the Philadelphia I'imes the following ac­ count of that Interesting event in our country's history: On the morning of Feb. 11, 18G1, the citizens cf Springfield, 111., began to assemble at the depot, and by 8 o'clock a large numl>cr had assembled. The day was gloomy, the sky dark, and rain was falling. At precisely five minutes before 8 o'clok Mr. Lincoln and a~ single attend­ ant emerged irom a private room and walked slowly to the car, the people falling back und as many, as could shaking his hand. From the platform to the car, after removing his hat and drawing himself up to his full height, he stood in profound silence for several seconds, survey­ ing th? faces of his friends and neighbors. An aooouut says there was an unusual quiver on his lip and a still more unusual tear on his shriveled cheek. His solemn manner and his long silence were as tull of melancholy elo­ quence as any words hs could have uttered. The crowd stood uncovered, w;th unmistakable sympathy. Beginning slowly and in a husky voice he spoke as follows: FAKKWfeLL TO SPRINflFTELP. "Friends, no one who has never been placed in alike position can understand my reelings at this hour, nor the expressive sadness I feel at this parting. For more than a quarter of a century 1 have lived among you, and during all that time 1 have received nothing but kindness at your han^s. Here I have lived from my youth, nntil now I am an old man. Here the most sacred ties on earth were assumed. Here all of my children were born and here one of them lies buried. To you, dear friends, 1 owe all that 1 have, all that I am. All the strange, checkered past seems to crowd upon my mind. To-day I leave yon. I go to as­ sume? a task more difficult than that which devolveel upon Washington. Unless the great God who assisted him shall be with me and aid me I must fail, but i* the same om­ niscient mind and almighty arm that directed and prote. ted him guides anel supports o»e, I shall not fail--I shall succeed. Letusallpr<y that the God of our fathers may not forsake us now. To Him I commend you all. Permit me to ask that with equal sincerity and faith you invoke His wisdom and guidance for me With these few words I must leave you, for how long I know not. Friends, one and all, I now bid yon an affectionate farewell." Mr. Lincoln had never appeared so affected before, and his simple eloquence moved his listeners deeply. The train moved out. and his neighbors, with few exceptions, never saw him after. When a little more than four yean had passed, his remains were brought back to the same place for burial. THE TRIP TO WASHINGTON. At nearly every place on the route to Wash­ ington the" people came out to greet Mr. Lin- coln. and at the princi|>al ones he addressed ttiein. In every instance he referred to the great question with which he was to grapple, lie did not believe there was to be serious trouble. He said that the clouds would soon clear away, and that the sun wa<« shining be­ hind them. At Indianapolis he said that th» Federal laws must be upheld, but recoiled from "coercion" and "invasion." At Columbus he said lie consoled himself that there was nothing worse than .anxiety--that there was noth­ ing yet seriously going wrong. "We entertain different views upon political .mentions; but nobody is suffering any­ thing. This is a most consoling circuni- stauce, and from it I judge that all we want is time and patience and a reliance on that God who has nev<r forsaken this s eople." These observat ons he repeated at Pittsburg and many other places with greater fullness and increased emphasis. At Harrisburg he said: "It is not with any pleasure that I contemplate the possi­ bility that a necessity may arise In this country for the use of the military arm." Referring to the presence in the streets of a Military force as a part of the great throng who had come out t;> welcome him, he said: "I desite tj repeat. In order to preclude any possible misconstruction, that 1 do most sincerely hope that we shall have no use for them: that it will never become their duty to shed blood, and most especially never to shed fraternal blood." LINCOLN IN PHILADELPHIA. a ' Mr. Lincoln arrived in Philadelphia frwnKew^* York on the 21st, and was received with nn bounded enthusiasm. News was here brought)' that there was hatching in Baltimore a conspir­ acy to assassinate him as he passed through that city. Conferences were held with railroad ofiicials, the civil magistrates and citizens. Many doubted tne existence ot any such conspiracy, though m-my alleged acts were related to sus­ tain the report; nevertheless, it was thought best to act with prudence. Mr. Seward sent word lrom Washington of the conspiracy, set­ ting it forth as much greater in scope than the lirsc reports made it out to be. Having, according to appointment, early on the morning of the *J2d. raided the Amer can flag over Independence Hall, Mr. Lincoln, with few lr.ends, departed for Harris burg, wlier there was to be a reception with speeches. The* night previous, in Philadelphia, at a conference held by a select few, of whom the late Thomas A. £cott, was oue, a programme of future move­ ments was arranged. It was that the next even­ ing at C o'clock Mr. Lincoln, with one frienel, should quietly leave Harrisburg in a special car. The roads were to be cleared of all other trains and skilled telegraph men were to see that the wires lending out of Harrisburg were cut and kept cut till it was known that Mr. Lincoln had reached Washington. At West Philadelphia a detective would meet him and conduct him by a circuitous route to the Philadelphia, Wilming­ ton and Baltimore depot. This programme was communicated to Mr. Lincoln and patty uu the way to Harrisburg from Philadelphia on the morning ot the 2*2(1. The party consisted of Judge Davis, CoL Lamon, Col. Sumner, Majcr Hunter and Capt. Pope. The three latter, army officers, joined Mr. Lincoln after h» left Springfield The programme was a surprise to them all. Col. Sumner, who was the first to express himself, said it would be a d----d piece ot cowardice, and that he would "get a squad ot cavalry and cut our way through to W»shinuton." To which response'was made that "by that time inauguration day would have passed, and that it was important, that Mr. Lin- co n should b'» in Washington on that day." Mr. Lincoln, after fuli discussion, decided to subrn t to the judgment of his friends and car­ ry out the programme. The next question was who should accompany Mr. Lincoln on the per­ ilous ride. CoL Sumner said he "Intended to see Mr. Lincoln safe In Washington." GOING TO WASHINGTON. Having hastily dined, Mr. Lincoln was hur­ ried to his room, where he changed his co*t and hat, and passed rapidiy through the hall and out of the door. Here was Colonel Sumner. As Mr. L n(.oln and Lamon stepped into the close carriage, and Sumner was al;o;.t to follow, Nor­ man B. Judd, of the party, clapping his hands on Sumner's shoulders, said aloud: "One mo­ rn nt. Colonel." Sumner turned, and on the in­ stant the carriage drove away without him. The Ci lonel was very angry. Lincolu and Lamon boarded the car and left Harrisburg ac­ cording to the arrangement. In the accounts Mr. Lincoln has figured as wearing a Scotch cap and cl ak. Th;s is inaccurate. He wore a soft, liaht felt hat, drawn down over his face accord­ ing to circumstances, and a shawl thrown over his shoulders so that his features could be dis­ guised if necessary. The programme worked without any obstruc­ tion. Th- re was a female spy in the case to help work it and a number of detectives to cover the tracks and preserve the mystery. Mr. Lin­ coln had a berth, which, ot course, v. as too short ai d gave occasion lor iokes. Little was said about danger and no evidences of the con- his Cabinet and others were with him. At the Capitol, in the Senate, Crittenden. Wade, Doug­ las, Wiufail. and Trumbull were keepinz up a rat. lin^ dobate. The sess.on had extended over twelve hoivs. About u o'clock the procession began to form. B. B. French was the Grand Marshal, assisted by many aids. At 11 the procession began to move, passing through Louisiana to Pennsyl­ vania avenue. The military formed on all sides at W illard s. BUCHANAN AND LINCOLN. Mr. Buchanan, who had been kept bnsy sign­ ing bills at the White House, appeared at the hotel at half-past eleven. At i.alf-i ast twelve Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Bi.chanan came ont »f the hotel an 1 took seats In atarrhtgo, the public cheering and the bands playing Columbia. Sen­ ators Baker and Pearce also te>ok seats in the carriage with Mr. Lincoln anil Mr. Buchanan. The latter looked grave and hardly spoke. Mr. Lincoln was calm and self- possess d. Few citizens of Washington were in the procession. The delegates fioni abroad, although l»rge numl>ers were in the city, numbered not over T' oorsoo. New England sent 15". New York :ioo. The entire South was represented by not more than seventy-five por- sor.s. Krom the Northwest the number were few. Pennsylvania avenue was almost ankle deep with dust, rendering marching very diffi­ cult and uncomfortable. The military arrangements showed the ap- Erehensions of a murderous plot against Mr. incoin. His carriage was so closely sur­ rounded on all sides as to hide it from view. A shot could not possibly have been aimed at him, so closely was he environed by the mili­ tary. The guards of honor were selected from the ..lost efficient, companies of the reg­ ulars and marines. Platoons ot soldiers were stationed every hundred yards along Pennsyl­ vania avenue. Several companies were held in reserve at the armories to be dispatched to any point in case of an outbreak. Mounted order­ lies were placed at every street corner to convey information speedily to Gen. Scott, who re­ mained alt day at headquarters. Riflemen were placed on the roofs of the houses along and adjacent to the avenue to watch for dan­ gerous persons. The process^! moved sldwly through the avenue, with liTle of the mani­ festations on previous occasions of the kind. Everything was done as if in the presence of danger and as though calamity was impending. Masses of people jxmred toward the Capitol. Thousands had already waited there from three to five hours tor the doors to open. The major­ ity were Northern men. There were few South­ erners present The people of the District gen­ erally stood uloof. TAKING THE OATH. At 11:58 Hannibal Hamlin, Vice President elect, entered the Senate Chamber. The Judges of the Supreme Court, headed by the venerable Chief Justice Taugy, en­ tered soon after. The Diplomatic Corps were all In their places. The Senators were all present. 'Ihe ga'leries were crowded. The President and President elect were soon after ushered into the Capitol. Mr. Lincoln looked pale and solemn. The urocession from the Senate had taken their places. Mr. Lincoln stood for­ ward in suht of the multitude and was cheered. Laying down his manuscript and adjusting his spectacles, in a voice that caused him to be heard to the farthest bounds ot the multitude he read bis inaugural addiess. When he had concluded he ftorne i to Chief Justice Taney and took the oa th of otfice, and as soon as practica­ ble afterward went to the White House. Throughout the dav and that night the mili­ tary patrolled, the streets. Active watch was kept at all points. A number of persons for ut­ tering secession sentiments were taken away. The same night a number of army officers pass­ ed over the Long Bridge to take part in the re­ bellion, which was near at hand. WEN. STEWART.

Lamon pass d out ot the car and through the depot un­ observed except by one man, wtio watch d Mr. Lincoln closely, and seizing nold of the baud of President-elect, cr eel out, "You can't play that on me." The stranger was about to b; struck when Mr. Lincoln interposed with "Don't strike him, don't strike hiin. It's Washburn!" Mr. Seward had given Wasnburn a hint of what waa going on. They all drove to Willard's, where r. l incoln was soon after found by Mr. Seward. Monday, March 4, broke bright, with every in­ dention of fair weather. Humors of con piracy ind vio ence hlled t::e air. Secession w.is open­ ly talked Feirs were entertained for Mr. Lin­ coln s personal safety. Gen. !-cott had for days been making cautionary arrangements. The American Hag floated from the City Hall and the d M artm ;nt.«. Few citizens raist d the flag over their dwellings or places of business. There was nn orciiuus sullcnness. How much was meant no one could accurately say. At 8 in the nn rning citizens be^an to as­ semble in the neighlx>rhood ot Willard's Hotel, where Mr. L ncolu was s.aying, and it was not 1- ng before Pennsylvania avenue and the ad- ( iacent streets were packed. The buildings for bio ks either way. wherever a stand or foothold c-u'd b ' gained, were crammed with human bein-'s. At a I early hour tr.e military had begun to move. The drum and fife were heard in many directions. Troops were marching and countermarching, and i redactions of blood­ shed were freely indulged in. At the Capitol the people of all conditions and classes began to (father, and before the day had tar advanced l vast crowd were already in w-itlng, Mr. Lincoln hRd tisen early and members of and advantage to himself. In the Znlu witr he was constantly employed, first as Brigade Major of cavalry, and then as chief of staff to Baker Russell in the storming of Sekukuui'n stronghold. Here he attracted General Wolseley'f personal attention, came to be his military secretary and chief of staff, aud gained that good opinion which he has since maintained. Oq the organiza­ tion of Wolseley's first Egyptian campaign one of the earliest appointments was that of Stewart as staff officer to Sir Drury Lowe, who commanded the cavalry division. Stewart was one of Wolseley's most trusted counselors in making the preparations for the expedition. He was a Lieutenant Col­ onel at the beginning of this campaign. At Tel-el-Kebir lie distinguished himself, and took part in Gen. Lowe's brilliant ride through the desert to Cairo. When the Egyptians sent out a white flag to meet the advancing British force it was Col. St3wart who, at the head of 200 laneerc and dra­ goons, made and received the. surrender, of the citadel. When Gen. Graham made his Suakim campaign against Osnuin Digna Stewart went with him, aud distinguished himself at Tamasi. When tne Arab charge broke the first square his horsemen had a lion's share in re­ trieving the fortunes of the day. In the pres­ ent campaign Gen. Stewart was put in com­ mand of the expedition of 1,500 men sent across the desert from Korti to Meteinneh by way of Gakdul Wells. His recent bat­ tles at Abu Klea and near Gnbat are fresh in the public memory. He was wounded early on the day of the second fight in a preliminary skirmish. He survived his wounds just a month. Queen Victoria sent her personal congratulations to Gen. Stew­ art on his brave victory and promoteel him to be Major General. Gen. Wolselev re­ cently expressed the opinion that Gen. Stewart was one of the bravest officers he had ever known. A TEXAS DANCE. f i £>. It Winds Up with the Killing of Three People. (Rockdale (Texas) dispatch.] Intelligence has reached here of a desper­ ate shooting affair last night at a point fifteen miles below this city, involving the fatal shootibg of three persons. A dance was in progress at the honse of W. S. Davis. Fred Stephens, formerly a Deputy Sheriff of this county, started to go outside with Buck Scales lo talk over au old diffi­ culty. As they passed ont the doorway, Stevens shot Scales through the stomach and breast. As Scales fell, Stephens fired a third shot, which passed through the chin of the 10-year-old daugh­ ter of Mr. Sibley. The bystanders at once seized anel disarmed Stephens. The brother of Buck Scales then entered the room and started for Stephens, who ran into the yard and shielded himself behind a wagon, meanwhile begging piteously for his lif4, 'Scales fired several shots, but missed Stephens, when the latter ran into the house, followed by the crowd. Stephens picked up a shot-gun, and emptied its con­ tents into the breast of Mr. Hodge, an in­ nocent bystander, killing him. Two other guests were also wounded. Stephens es­ caped to the woods, notwithstanding that twenty men followed and fired at him. The Sibley child will die.

The committee nmrmlmont reducing from »Ii;0,0u0 to »m< tint to be paid tor the Fo.t Brown lteser- vaiion was non-concurred in, and th • larger > amount was retained. Mr. Aldrich offered a ; joint resolution requesting tne President to i open negotiations with foreign Powers with a view to securing an agieement to the free coinage of silver with full legal-tender power. I In the House of Representatives the naval bill | was repo ted with the Senate amendments, | some of which were agreed to and otheis non- concurred in. New conferrees were accordingly appointed. Mr. Mills moved to susivend the ru.es and adopt a resolution to the effect that lnssmuch as the Inaugural Committee had de­ clined to give Representatives in Congress their proper p'ace the House would refuse to take any pa: t in the ceremony March 4. The motion was defeated by a vote of 55 yeas to 1K8 nays. At a meeting of the House Expenditures Com­ mittee Representative Springer's report of the result of ihe investigation of the cemdnct ot United States Marshal Lot Wright at the Ohio October election was agreed to by a party vote s to 4. The report was to the effect that Demo­ cratic voters had been intimidated at the polls. A minority reiwt was rendered condemning the action of the contrail tee and declaring that no evidence had been presented during the in­ vestigation which in any manner warranted the conclusions embodied in the report. THE conference upon the Indian appropriation bill was called up in the Senate on the 3d Inst, and a long discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. Plumb declared that the extra ses­ sion of Congress which appeared to be Immi­ nent was due to the gross legislative incompe­ tency ot the House. Mr. Van Wyck said that the Senate insisted upon its rnle against the at­ tachment by the House of legislative provis ons to appropriation bills, but could itself put on such a provision as the Piciric Atail subsidy clause to please Jav Gould and C. P. Huntington. Mr. Vest hoped the Senate would agree with the House provision regarding the Oklahoma master. Mr. Ingalls said that '2.000 men were ready to move upon Oklahoma within forty-eight hours, and that the only way to avoid bloodshed was to promise the people that negotiations for the opening of the lands should be begun at once. The Senate insisted on its amendment aud a new conference was ordered. Similar action was taken upon the conference report on the sundry civil bill. The deficiency iind fortifications bills were passed with a few amendments. In the House of Rep­ resentatives the Senate's amendments to the sundry civil bill were non-concurred in, and conferrees were api>ointed. The conference re­ port on the post»fiic ̂ bill was submitted, an­ nouncing continued disagreement. It was staud that the most important point of differ­ ence in connection with this bill was the Senate amendment relating to the ocean mail servi,^. Tho House conferrees opposed this amendment because it was regarded in the light of a subsidy, and because it intrusted a danger­ ous power to the Postmaster General. The conference report on the Indian bill was sub­ mitted, and the Senate amendment striking out the clause relative to claims against Indian tribes was concurred in. The other amendment, txpunging the paragraph relative to the intro­ duction of intoxicating spirits into Indian Ter­ ritory, was disagreed to. and a new conference was ordered. The conference report on the pensions bill was adopted, the Honse receding lrom its disagreement to all the Senate amend­ ments. The bin as agreed to appropriates (60,- OOO.OM. BY vigilant work in its laat hours. Congress succeeded in clearing up the work before it to the extent of avoiding the necessity of an extra session. The river and harbor bill was the only one of the appropriation series which failed, the Senate tabling it. just before adjournment on the 4th, by a vote of 'J8 to 'io. Almost the very last act ot Congress was the passage of the bill for the retirement of (Jen. Grant. When Senator Edmunds affixed his signature to the bill, it being about noon, the ciHsistant doorkeeper turned back the hands of the clock. Only a few minutes were consumed by President Arthur in nominating U. S. Grant to be General on the retired list, and the Senate Confirm ?d the nomination amid an outburst of Applause. Extra Session of the Senate. President Cleveland sent to the Senate, on the -$th inst, the names of the gentlemen he has Selected as Cabinet officers. They are as fol­ lows : Secretary of State, Thomas F. Bayard, of Jieiavvare; Secretary of the Treasury, Daniel Manning, of New York; Secretary of War. William O. Kndicott, of Massachusetts; Secre­ tary of the Navy, William C. Whitney, of New \'ork; Becretary ot the Interior, L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi; Postmaster General, William F. Vilas, of Wisconsin; Attor­ ney General, A. II. Garland, of Arkansas. Onlinotion ot Senator Sherman, the Senate went into executive session. There la a time-honored custom in the Senate ot confirming ail appoint­ ments without reference or disenssion where '.'the person appointed is, or has been, a member of the Senat \ This rule would not be violated by any Senator who had any self-respect, ex­ cept for grave reasons. A confirmation can net be made at once, if a single objection is raised. There was an objection promptly made to Senator Bayard, by Senator liiddle- berger. Neither of the Readjuster Senators finds much, if any, friendly recognition, upon the Republican side. The majority of the Dem­ ocratic Senators will not. even speak to them, if they can avoid it. so much do the.v dislike them, lilddleberger made his objection in a ringing, defiant voice, and with a swagger of manner that called for no reply. Sen­ ator Allison tinned to expostulate with Riddleberger, but Senator Van Wyck caught him by tli; arm. Senators Manderson Palmer, Ingalls, and other Republicans came up to the Virginian, and begged him in low tunes to resrect the courtesy of the Senate and with­ draw his objection, lie stubbornly refused, and then Ix gan to give his reasons. He regarded B»yard as too much of an Englishman. His recent resolution denouncing the dynamite out­ rages iu London was enough to unfit him for the post of Secretary of State. He then repea ed paragraphs from his former harangues against the original resolution of Mr. Bayard. $i«ene ventured to answer any of his remarks. 44 Pot-Boilefrs." , : "Pot-boilers" are highly colored and well-varnished paintings, carelessly, rapidly and conventionally executed, with the sole purpose of selling as soon as possible. Although such a picture is bad art, it is better than the "manufactured" paintings done by the yard from patterns and sent to auction rooms as "genuine oil paintings in real gold gilt frames." In even a "pot­ boiler" the artist feels some interest in his work, and weaves into it soine fragmentary glimses of his more loyal moods. As for composition the popu­ lar "pot-boiler" always has a surround­ ing of purely conventional and stereo­ typed arrangement, a distance, middle distance and foreground, a tendency to vivid yellow, purple or emerald. Sun­ set scenes and marine views are very common, the latter for the reason that an economical perspective, and an ex­ panse of lifeless blue or green waves, can be "painted in" with vast rapidity. The gay barge in the center of the can­ vas can be gotten up with little draw­ ing itnd much color. The entire pict­ ure may be "done" by an accomplished "pot-boilerist" without a sketch before hint. He knows to a cent the price he will get for the result, and his art is leveled to almost the grade of the frame-maker.--The Hour, .
