A Chi­ cago dispatch says: Heretofore it has been generally supposed tbat only bankrupt roads In the hands of receivers were entitled to the protection of the Fedora] courts, but Judge Gresham holds that the full power of the National Government can be used to Shield all inter state lines from interference at the hands of rioters and strikers. In other words, the protection which lias proved so effective in the case of broken-down "corpo­ rations operated by receivers is due ns well t« all railroads doing business between two or more States, and any interstate carrier can appeal to the United States Courts whenever its lines are menaced or blockaded. Such is the gist of this important ruling. While Judge Gresham laid some stress on the fact that the Lake Shore Road is a carrier designated by the Government to transi>ort imported goods in bond, it is clear that his doctrine applies to all interstate lines. He refers to the constitutional provision em­ powering Congress to "negulato commerce among the several States." and to the act au­ thorizing every interstate railway line to "carry upon and over its road all passengers, troops, Government supplies, mails, freight, and prope-ty on their way from one State to another State." Hence the right to perform this service is one arising under the Constitu­ tion and Jaws of the United States, and the Federal courts must protect those who ex­ ercise it from all interference or molestation.

A special correspondent tele­ graphs as follows from the scene of that dark and dreadful tragedy: Early in the day the great Sioux Chief Gall went over the entire field and described in an intelligent and straightforward man­ ner the exact place in which Custer's com­ mand was destroyed. Curley, the Crow scout, who was in reality the only survivor of all who marched into the valley of the Little Big Horn with Custer, was also pres­ ent, but Gall turned his back on Curley, and said: "Ho ran away too, soon in the fight." Gall is a powerful!, fine-looking specimen of the red race, 46 years* old, and weighs over two hundred pounds. He first appeared reticent, and was inclined to act sullen, but when he stood on the spot which formed the last sight of Custer on earth his dark eyes lightened with fire, he became earnestly communicative, and he told all he knew without restraint. His dignified countenance spoke truthfulness, and there is little doubt that the true history of that dreadful day is at last made known. Gall's narrative was as follows: "We saw the soldiers early in the morning crossing the divide. When Reno and Cus­ ter separated we watched them until they came down into the valley. A cry was raised that the white men soldiers were coding, and orders weie given fopr-tlie village to move immediately. Reno swept down so rapidly on the upper end that the Indians were forced to tight. Sitting Bull nnd I were at the point where Reno attacked. Sitting Bull was big medicine. The women and children were hastily moved down stream where the Cheyennes were camped. The Sioux attacked Reno, and the Cheyennes Custer, and then all became mixed up. The women and children caught the horses for the bucks to mount them; the bucks mounted and charged back Reno, and checked him, and drove him into the timber. The soldiers tied their horses to trees, and came out and fought on foot. As soon as Reno was beaten and driven back across the river, the whole force turned upon Custer and fought him until they destroyed him. Cus­ ter did not reach the river, but was met about half a mile up a ravine, now called Reno Creek. They fought the soldiers and beat them back step by step until all were killed." [One of Reno's officers confirms this by saying: "After we were driven back to the hill where the stand was made, there was an interval of over an ho ir that we had no fighting. This gave us an opportunity to shelter our horses in a ravine and partially intrench ourselves." It was probably dur­ ing this interval of quiet on Reno's part that the Indians nitssed on Custer and an­ nihilated him.] "The Indians ran out of ammunition and their arrows they fired from behind their horses. The soldiers got shells stuck "in their guns and bad to throw them away. They then fought with little guns -- [pistols]. The Indians were in couples behind and in front of Custer as he moved up the ridge to take position, and were just as many as the grass. The first two companies, Keogh and Calhoun, dis­ mounted, and fought on foot. They never broke, but retired step by Btep until forced back to the ridge upon which all finally perished. They were shot down in line where they stood. Keogh's company ral­ lied by company and were all killed in a bunch." [This statement seems borne out by the facts, as thiity- eight bodies of Keogh's troopers were found piled in a heap.] "The warriors di­ rected a special fire against the trooper who held the horseR, while the others fought. As soon as a holder was killed, by moving blankets and great shouting the horses were stampeded, which made it impossible for the soldiers to escape. Afterward the soldiers fought desperately and hard, and never surrendered. They fought strong-- they fought in line along the ridge. As fast as the men fell the horses were herded and driven toward the squaws and old men, who gathered them up. When Reno attempted to find Custer by throwing out a skirmish line, Custer and all with him wore dead. When the skirmishers reached a high point overlooking Custer's field, the Indians were galloping around and over the wounded, dying, and dead, popping bullets and arrows into them. When Reno made his attack at the upper end he killed my two squaws and three children, which made my heart bad. I then fought with the hatchet --which means, of course, mutilating. "The soldiers ran out of ammunition early in the day. Their supply of cart­ ridges was in the saddle-pockets of their stampeded horses. The Indians then ran up to the soldiers and butchered them with hatchets. A lot of horses ran away and jumped into the river, but were caught by the squaws. Eleven Indians were killed in Reno Creek, and several Indians fell over and died. Only forty-three In­ dians were killed altogether, but a great many wounded ones came across the river and died in the rushes. Some soldiers got away and ran down a ravine, crossed the river, came back again, and were killed. We had Ogallalas, Minneconjous, Brules, Te- tons, Uncpapas, Sjoux, Cheyennes, Arapa- hoes, and Gros Ventres. When the big dust came in tbe air down the river [meaningTerry and Gibbon], we struck our lodges and went up a creek toward the White Rain Mountains. Big Horn ranges covered with snow. We waited there four days and then went%ver to Woj Mountains."

[Washington special to Chicago Times.] The Ohio Republican politicians are talk­ ing in a very excited manner about the action of the three Republican members of the Senate Committee on Elections--Lo­ gan, Evarts, and Teller--who declined to vote with the other Republicans -- Hoar and Frye--that the evidence presented to the committee warranted a report to the Senate that the investigation should be made. These outside Re­ publicans say that the case will be brought before the Senate, and that it is not at all clear that the three Republicans will join with the Democrats on the committee in making a report against the investigation. It is suggested that they will make an inde­ pendent report, which will state that the evi­ dence was not sufficient to warrant the in­ quiry. The two Republicans, Hoar and Frye, it is stated by the Ohio Republicans who have been keeping a close watch on the Payne case, make a very vigorous report in favor of the investigation, and will carry the fight into the Senate. "And there," said one of tbe Ohio Republicans, "we expect to beat the three Republicans who refuse to go with the other two. Doubtless the two Re­ publican members of the committee who favor an investigation will submit to the Senate the facts that were presented in the committee, and the Senate will order the investigation. It is possible that the three Republicans may not take the same posi­ tion in the Senate, for there is no record in the committee which the public has any right to know, and it is possible that in view of tbe great pressure that will bo brought to hear the investigation may yet 1 be ordered."

Great interest centers in the three games to be played between these clubs at Chicago July 8, 9, and 10, and a desperate effott will be made by the champions to win all three. Chicago is the only club that has beaten Detroit on its hoine ground this year, the "big four" and the "little five" having won twenty-two -out of the twenty- three games played there. Chicago has played twenty-one games at home, winning eighteen and losing three. In the American Association, St. Louis has taken a strong lead for the champion­ ship, Brooklyn has advanced to second, with Pittsburgh and Louisville cloi-e up, in the order named, while the Metropolitans have emerged from the tail end and Baltimore has taken their place, The standing of the various clubs, ac­ cording to games won, is shown by the fol­ lowing tables: • ' POULOXm SCHEDULE ' Clubs-- Detroit Chitago ...'i New York: Philadelphia Boston fit.

Boston plays one morning and one afternoon game with Chicago on Monday, July 5. Tues­ day the third game of the series between the same clubs will be played. Wednes­ day, July 7, the New York giants will play off one of the postponed games with Chi­ cago. Thursday, IJrirbtv, and Saturday the famous sluggers from Detroit will attempt to down the champions. A large delega­ tion of base-ball lovers from Detroit will accompany the nine, and every preparation, even to the broom, duck-call, bazoo and Castanet accompaniment, is being made by the visitors to outdo Chicago's recent visit to Detroit. All the railroads are making ex­ cursion rates for the occasion, and it is ex­ pected the thiee games will be witnessed by from forty to fifty thousand lovers of the game, about double the attendance called out in Detroit. The Chicago nine is play­ ing great ball, and so is Detroit. The three contests of next week will be battles of giants, such as were never before seen in the West, and may probably not occur apa;n in a decade, as it is generally conceded that their result will decide the League cham­ pionship of 188(5. Base-Ball and Kaciug Notes. CHICAGO has made more home runs than any- other League club. Detroit comes next. BISHOP, pitcher for Milwaukee, is owner and editor of tbe Lake Mills (Mich.) Leader. SMITH, Pittsburgh's second baseman, has earned a great reputation for making double plays. STAGG, pitcher for Yale in the College League, struck out eighty-two men in eight games. PITTSBURGH has won three games from Cincinnati by lucky hom$-run hits in the last purt of the game. LOUIHVILIJE'S nine are playing in new uniforms, iron-gray wilh blue stockings, made by Spalding Bros. THE Harvard College team defeated Yale June 2C, at Caml'rid^e, 5 to 1, in the pres­ ence of over 10,000 people. PITCHER KEEFE, of New York, does not watch the lunner at first base, depending entirely upon signs from bis catcher. THE Detroits and the Metropolitans are the only League and Association teams that have not been whitewashed this season. KELLY, of Chicago, and Latham, of St. Louis Browns, head all the League and As­ sociation players, respectively, in the num­ ber of runs made. BY the win of last Saturday the Santa Anita stable, owned by "Lucky" Baldwin, of California, has carried off tbat rich prize, the American Derby, two years in succes­ sion. GEN. PHIL SHERIDAN, President of the Washington Park Association, Chicago, oc­ cupied the judges' stand most of the open­ ing day, looking younger than he did five years ago. KANSAS CITY will fly the stormy weather pennant next year, ten games outor* twenty- five having been postponed by rain, as many as Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis combined. OVER 6541 horses, the finest racers in America, are now Btabled at Washington Park, to participate in the races, which oc­ cur every Tuesday, Thursday, and Satur­ day until August 14. IT is quite likely that special arrange­ ments will have to be made by the League to extend the season, else it will be impos­ sible to play off even a fair portion of all the postponed games. MURPHY, the colored Archer, as he has been termed, has won the American Derby three times in succession. In 1884 he rode Modesty; 1885, Volante; and this year he piloted Silver Cloud to victory. FRED DUNLAP, second baseman of the St. Louis Browns, has the best individual record in a single game, viz: four base-hits (one a three-bagger and one a home run), three runs, eight put-outs, seven assists, and one error. THE Rochester team has been presented with a medicine chest by a local medical admirer. The chest contains all the nec­ essary appliances for treating wounds re­ ceived on the diamond, and is inscribed as follows: "Rochester Base-Ball Club Dis­ pensary. 'Doc.' Kennedy, Hospital Stew­ ard." THE firm of A. G. Spalding & Bros., of Chicago, who are the largest dealers as well as manufacturers of athletic goods in this country, and probably in the world, are forced to run their tailoring department extra time to supply the large demand made upon them for their base-ball uniforms, which are considered about correct. THE Philadelphia Prean estimates the wealth of base-ball people after this fash­ ion: A. J. Reach, $200,000; A. G. Spald­ ing, $150,0(M); George Wright, $75,000; A. C. Anson, $50,000; Harry Wright, $35,000; Frank Bancroft, $20,000; Lew Simmons, $;»<),000; Jim White, $15,000; Jim Murtrie, $15,000; Dalrymple, $15,000; O'Rourke, $15,000; Will White, $15,000; Sutton, Keefe, Commisky, $12,000 each; Farrar, McCormick. Snyder, Brouthers, $10,000 each, and the others run down to $5,000. THE attractions at Chicago for the week commencing Monday, July 5, may bo summed up as follows: Seven games of base ball between the four strongest clubs in the National League; five races at Wash­ ington Park, the finest race track in the world, each afternoon of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the starters in which will be selected from the largest as­ semblage of thoroughbred racers ever got together anywhere; the opening o,f the World s Pastime Exposition at Cheltenham Beach, the Coney Island of the West; all the theaters with first-class attractions; and excursion rates on all tbe railroads... Cohn ond Peace Mark His Last Hewn --A Short Sketch Busy Life.. Judge David Davis passed peacefully away at bis home in Bloomington, 111., on the morning Of Saturday, June 26. An hour or so before his death he talked incoherently for some time. His family and friends in the house were around his bedside and he passed into death as if going to sleep. Judge Davis' physician says the im­ mediate cause of his death was erysipelas, the outcome of a malignant carbuncle, which first appeared April 30, but that diabetes, which must have been insidiously working for two years, was the primary cause, and to it is attributed his rapid decline in flesh a week be­ fore the end came. He had been unconscious most of tbe time. His wife; his only son, George P. Davis, and wife ; his only daughter, Mrs. Sarah D. Swayue, and husband ; his grand­ daughter, Alice 8. Davis; his niece, Mrs. Fannie Pierpont; his cousin, John M. Walker; and his old friend, Frank D. Orme, of Washington, were present at his death. BIOGRAPHICAL. A Short Sketch of Judge Pavis' Busy Life. Judge David Davis was born in Cecil County, Maryland, March 9,1815. He received a careful education in the best American schools of the early part of the century. He studied law with Judge Bishop in Lennox. Mass., and afterward in the law school at New Haven, Conn., graduating as the first of his class. Judge Davis removed to Bloomington, 111., in 1836, being then 21 years of age. His home was in that city from that date until his death. He soon gained prominence as a lawyer and local politician. In 1845 ho was chosen a member of the lower house of the Illi­ nois Legislature. He was a member of no party, and he soon attracted attention by his conscien­ tious work and his freedom of action 011 all ques­ tions. He was chosen to th1 Constitutional Con­ vention of 1847, and the next year elected Judge of tbe Eighth Judicial Circuit of Illinois. He was re-elected to this office in 1855, and again in 1801. His capacity for work and his clear- cut decisions soon became proverbial all over the State and beyond its bor­ ders . He and Abraham Lincoln became warm friends long before the latter rose to more than local prominence. He became one of Lincoln's most ardent supportors for the Presidency and took an important place in national affairs as adviser of Lincoln after Lincoln's election to that high office. President Lincoln appointed Judge Davis Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the TTnited States Dec. 8, 1862. After Lincoln's death Judge Davis became adminis­ trator of his estate. At the National Conven­ tion of the labor reform party held in Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 21, 1872. Judge Davis was nominated for President of the United States, the candidate for Vice President on the same ticket being Joel Parker, of New Jersey. When the Liberal Republicans nominated Horace Greeley for President at the Cincinnati Convention of the same year, Judge Davis, who had been a candidate before the same conven­ tion, receiving 92)6 votes on the first ballot,with­ drew from the field. Judge Davis remained on the Supreme Court bench until 1877,whrn he re­ signed to take his seat in the United States Sen­ ate, I10 having been elected to that body by the Independents and Democrats of the Thirtieth General Assembly of Illinois. After the death of President Garfield Judge Davis was chosen President of the Senate, in which position he waB virtually Vice President of the United States. Soon after retiring from the Senate in 1883. he was married to a niece of Judge Green, member of Congress from North Carolina. From that time to his demise he resided quietly at his home in Bloomington. REMINISCENT. Judge Davis* Early Career--Characteristles of the Cltleen and the Judge. "I have known David Davis since 1848," re­ marked Hon. Leonard Swett, of' Chicago, "at which time he came into public prominence. His first appearance was as a member of the constitutional convention. In the same year he was chosen Circuit Judge of the Eighth Illi­ nois District. " Judge Davis, Abraham Lincoln, John T. Stewart, John J. Hardin, Stephen T. Logan, Ed­ ward D. Baker, Edward Hannigan, Daniel W. Voorliees, Kirbv Benedict, Edward Jones, David B. Campbell arid myself were the company that administered law in that district. Most of the attorneys would only go through a county or two and then drop out. Lincoln and I accom­ panied Judge Davis throughout the entire circuit. We would travel 011 horseback, gen­ erally, and would invariably put up at one hos­ telry. "Continually thrown in intimate companion­ ship with Lincoln and Davis, I came to know both well. They were antipodal natures, but the. closest of friends. Davis was of the most posi­ tive, decisive character, taking his positions firmly, and holding to them tenaciously and doggedly. Lincoln was suave and more yield­ ing. Both were princes of geniality and capital story-tellers. Euch had a fund of stories that seemed inexhaustible, and never lacked appo- siteness, nor loBt anything of excellence in the telling. In this intimacy, formed in the Eighth Circuit, may bo found the foundation of both Lincoln's and Davis' after greatness." "The strong points in Davis' character, a8 ex­ hibited in his whole pareer, public and private, Were many. He had the keenest foresight. Away back in 1810 ho saw this State as we now see it. To-day ho is a very rioh man, worth prob­ ably $8,000,000. I don't know; no one does. He never made a dollar in trade ; never made a trade in which he was not worsted. He did not know how to make a bargain, and seldom if ever tried. He knew good land when he saw it. He made all his money entering land. His present magnificent farm of 1,000 acres in McLean Coun­ ty cost him about S3 an acre. "I remember once of a case that illustrates him very well. Jesse W. Fell, of Bloomington, was a merchant on the down-grade. Mr. Davis received a note from some Eastern party against Fell, which he was instructed to collect. Fell and Davis were friends. Oh investigation, Davis found there were no resources, save an eighty-acre piece of ground near Chicago. Fell offered to give up the land for the note. With­ out a moment's hesitation Davis accepted. When the Eastern party came out he was in­ censed at losing the note for a worthless piece of swamp. Davis agreed to take the land him- solf and pay the amount of the note in money. This offer was accepted. That eighty acre tract lies between the city and the stock-yards, and is of incalculable value. "Davis excelled as a Judge. It was his natural sphere. He was more like John Marshall than any man the country has produced. Of Mar­ shall it is related that he would listen atten­ tively to an argument, catch at once the point, and say: ' That's it. That's tlie law exactly. Now look tip an authority or two.' It was just so with Davis, He took the law as a greyhound- takes the scent. He never relied on his knowl­ edge of authorities, and never allowed his legal lore to smother his common-sense perception of equity and justice." Mr. Jesse W. Fell, of Normal, 111., who knew Judge Davis intimately since 18.')5, says of him: "I first met David Davis in Pekin. 111. That was in 183,). I had been in Bloomington since 1832, and was engaged in the real-estate business. One day I chanced to be in Pekiu on business and met Mr. Davis. He had been there but a short time. He had come weBt from Maryland to Pekin, believing it to be the 'future great.' In those davs the rivers were the world's high­ ways, and l'ekin seemed destined to become au Important place. Mr. Davis had a little oflice on the main street of tho town, and had picked up a little legal business. I remember him as a large, robust, bovisli-looking. fresh-faced young man, a little inclined to corpulency, but showing no indication of the great size to which he attained in later years. I chatted with him awhile and liked him. I tol<t him of Bloomington and gave him my views of the rosy prospect of the village, and in­ vited him to come over and look at tho town. I believe I adviseil him to come and locute. I was then arranging to close up my real-estate busi­ ness. Davis came over in 1836, upon my invita­ tion, and succeeded to the business and occu­ pied my olfice. He learned to love Blooming­ ton, the p"oi>le took a liking to him, and he hod been a resident ever since." One' of the characteristics of Mr. Davis as a Judge was bis impatience at any inclina­ tion on tho part of a witness to evade the truth. On one occasion a witness in a law­ suit testified against the defendant in a re­ vengeful manner. Tho attorney for the de­ fendant asked the witness if ho did not have some ill-feeling for tlie defendant. The wit­ ness answered evasively. The law\er passed tho point and finally inquired: "Don't you hate tho defendant?" The witness began his usual prevarications, ^when the Judge exclaimed in his shrill voice: "Man, why don't you say you hate tbe defendant! Say so! Of course you hate him! Say so! Say so 1 and stop your lying 1" THREE REPORTS. Result of the Coagressional liratiga* Is the Pan<EI«etrle Muddle. Attorney General Garland Censured by tbe Eepublicaas and Defended by the Democrats. "V ^ ?-? ' " P#«Miltington telegram.f The Pan-Electric Telephone Committee pre- 8®pts three reports to the House, neither of which is signed by a majority of the committee. Chairman Boyle's report is signed by himself and Messrs. Oates, Eden, and Hall-- all Democrats. Mr. Ranney's report has the signatures of him- self and Messrs. Millard, Hanbach, and Moffatt --all Republican*. Mr. Hale submits a report signed by himself alone. THE IJRMOCRATIC REPOBT. The Democratic members of the committee, in their report, say: "What Dr. Rogers offered to Messrs. Carlisle and others was stock in an incorporated and organized company. What he transferred to uarland, Harris, and others was an interest in inventions, in their then condition of no value whatever, and only to be made valuable by the joint effort of the Rogerses and those who joined them in the under- tesmg- The property might turn out to be worth much or nothing. It had no commercial valuo. The evidence does not show that these gentlemen were admitted by the Messrs. Ropers with any expectation of profiting by their official positions or official action. Gen. Atkins, the party to whom they made the proposition, was not in office. They certainly expected no official aid from him. It was Gen. Atkins who spoke to Senator Harris, so that the Kogerses did not Select him because he was a Senator. The right to select the other three was given absolutely to Senator Harris, and no condition was imposed that he should select persons in office. At that time Mr. Garland was not thought of for Attor­ ney General. In view of his previous life and character it was not thought he would use his official power to forward a private enterprise in which he was interested. Casey Young was named by Rogers. He was not to appear in Congress until nearly a year after. Gen. Johhston was not in office, and did not expect to be. "Undoubtedly Dr. Rogers expected to profit by the association of gentlemen of known ability and distinction. Did these men to whom wrong-doing had never before been imputed and who are regarded now by those who have given the widest circulation to the charges against them as guilty of no 'venality,' but at most of an 'impropriety,' intend to become and did they become scoundrels all at once? When a man enters Congress he is not expected to give up the pursuit of worldly business. Such is not the practice; and if this were required some of the best men in Congress would bo compelled to leave it." The history of the proceedings at the confer­ ence is given in detail, and the report Bays • "Now, up to this time what had the Attorney General done, permitted, or advised in relation to a Government suit? He had received Dr. Rogers' letter of May 24 and pigeonholed it. He had received Mr. Benthuysen's letter of July 12, and referred it to tho Department of the Interior without recommendation. A dele­ gation had called on him, and he had absolute­ ly refused to be talked to on the subject, on the ground that he was interested in a telephone company. It is not pretended that he did any­ thing more. What more couid have been re­ quired of him or of any one ? No Judge of a court ever behaved more discreetly, or circum­ spectly, or honorably. If he erred at all, it was in positively refusing to hear the men who had called upon him ; and if an error, this was u very safe one. On the Same day that Mr. Garland left Washington for Arkansas, to be gone six weeks, the parties had no* assurance of a Gov­ ernment suit,for they were to ' obtain if possible the action of the Government; ' and, of course, it had not been done." Of Solicitor General Goode's treatment of tho. application to bring the Memphis suit the report says: "Mr. Goode's statement is not only uncontra­ dicted, but is fully supported by all the wit­ nesses who testified about the same matters. He was not connected with any telephone com­ pany, had no interest of any kind to bo affected by the suit, and had no knowledge of any pre­ vious application. He had not been informed of Mr. Garland's connection with a telephone com­ pany, and had he been that should have made no difference in his conduct. In the view of the committee, while it would have been better to have let the application take the usual course by referring it to the Interior Department, still his failure to do so was at most only a mistake." Tho Solicitor General and the Secretary of the Interior, says the report, made 110 mistake when they made provision for havin? the legality of the Bell patents judicially investigated. The suit could not result to the benefit of the Pan- Electric Telephone Company, as many inven­ tions preceded that of Rogers. The effect would be to throw the market open to all companies. AU would probably do something, but the one having tbe best instruments and being the best managed would probably have the greatest de­ gree of success. In conclusion, the committee finds that there was sufficient reason and authority for bringing the suits, but it expressly refrains from at­ tempting to find whether the Bell patents were obtained fraudulently, or whether Bell was the inverjtor of the speaking telephone. THK RKPUBIjIC'AN KEIOIIT. The report of the Republican members cites testimony to show how the Pan-Electric Com­ pany was organized and three and a half million of its stock given to gentlemen for the use of their names and reputation The opinion of Senator Garlaud, declaring that the liogers patents do not infringe on the Bell patent, is quoted with the statement that it had been got because the Pan-Electric could not sell rights with. >ut it and it was, as it intended to be. the inducement which led large numbers of persons to pay in money, a part of which was divided among Mr. Garland and his associates. At the same time the Pan-Electric knew that their in­ struments did infringe on the Bell patent. The rep< rt then refers to the postal telegraph bill as explaining the motives of the Pan-Electric organ­ izers, aud states that $24)00,000 cf the stock was held by members of Congress, because it was expected that the bill would be a subject of leg­ islation. It is charged that the Pan-Electric people, including Mr. Garland, tried to get Con­ gressional indorsements for their scheme, and the evidence is cited where it touches upon the effort to secure the appointment of young Rogers as House Electrician. It is alleged that Senators Garland and Harris and General John­ ston busied themselves personally to accom- Slisli this. Mr. Young put up a telephone in is committee-room, and this, says the report, w'f». "pretty near to a Congressional indorse­ ment. " Touching the Attorney General the report holdB that it was his duty, considering now much he was interested, to make sure by calling Mr. Goode's attention to the application that whenever it did come It should receive the full­ est and most impartial investiKation, according to all tho usages and practice of the office. The report says that he should have been solicitous enough of the honor of the department to have made certain that this was dono, but he did not. The report continues: "Taking all these things together, it does not admit of doubt that the Solicitor General, act­ ing us Attorney General, was by some means led to grant this application without the usual reference or inquiry, without any pretense of competent examination, with unexampled speed, and in violation of tbe practice of the de­ partment. "In an ordinary case such action would be held to be positive proof of fraud; at least proof of gross negligence, which in a person of his position is equivalent to fraud. There is no reason why the rule should not be applied here. It can not be forgot­ ten that this request, granted in so ex­ traordinary and so unbecoming a manner, was a request in which the head of tho Department of Justice and a Senator of the United St:ites, who came in person to the Solicitor General to inquire about it. and seemingly urged speed, and other Government officials, for two years had--and had notoriously had--a vast pecuniary interest. "Upon these facts, no one of which can be dis- jfut?d, no jury would hesitate. It is enough, however, to say that it cannot be tolerated that the business of the Government can be so con­ ducted. It cannot escape observation that Sen­ ator Harris and Mr. Casey Young acted just as men would act if already assured of what was being asked, and that the conduct of the So­ licitor General is most easily accounted for on the assumption that be understood the matter in advance, and had predetermined upon his course of action. "The best that can be said of him (Attorney General Garland) is that he lent himself to this scheme because he got his stock for nothing. If he was not active in it himself, he suffered his name and influence to be used byotlura. He was then only a Senator of the United States. He was next placed at the head of the Department of Justice. Tho man from whom he had receivtd the half-million of stock wanted now to borrow the name of that de­ partment and get its indorsements; then an ally asked for it; then the official representative of his company asked for it. Some men would easily have found a course for themselves. He took one also, but liis asso­ ciates, who knew him and speculated on his character, wore cortain they would get what they wanted--and they did. His intel­ ligence told him there were two things ho should not permit, and then his vacillating will let hiin argue that he might stand aside and see bis office do them for liis benefit. He had not the strength to deny what his asso­ ciates asked, nor to return the stock and cease to be an associate ; he had not tbe bold­ ness to do personally what thev thought was a fair serynjeo for the stock ho kept. But it was done b^ pis department as such a thin * never was done before. The evidence is more aggres­ sive, however, and the facts according to ordi­ nary rules 4f law are direct aud positive, and unless controlled are conclusive proof that all ex-parte Government action at lenst was affect­ ed oy tho influence of those interests or the knowledge of them." MB. HALF.'S REPORT. Mr. Hale (Mo.) in his individual report denies that the gentlemen interested in the Rogers company ever intended to use their official posi­ tions in its behalf. He holds that the opinion delivered by Mr. Garland was that of an attor­ ney simply. The general report estimates the cost of trial at 9800,000. Mr. Hale thinks tbat public curiosity should not be pandered to at such cost, and, in short, that "there's nothing in it." NATTON/H. & \ TBK sundry civil appropriation bill occupied the exclusive attention of the House, at its ses­ sion on Jane 96. The bill was completed la committee of the whole, after which the House adjourned. The Senate was not in session. THE river and harbor bill, with amendments, was reported to the Senate on the 28th ult, Th® conference report on the pension appropriation bill was presented to the Senate and agreed to. The House receded from its disagreements. Tho Senate, by a vote of 33 to 12, decided to in­ sist upon its amendment to tbe postoffice ap­ propriation giving a BUbsidy to Pacific Mail steamships. The Senate passed a bill granting a pension ot tlOO a month to the widow of the late Gen. Stannard of Vermont A bill authorizing the President to appoint and retire Alfred Pleason- ton as Major General was introduced in the Senate. The Senate debated the veto of the Des Moines River land bill without action, Sen­ ator Evarts (N. Y.) opposing and Senator Allison (Iowa) favoring the passage of the bill over the veto. President Cleveland sent to the Senate the name of William G. Ewing to be United States District Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. Mr. Randall intro­ duced his tariff bill in the House. Mr. King, of Louisiana, introduced in the House a resolution condemning the proposal of the French Government to assist the Panama Canal Company by means of a lottery loan as opposed to the Monroe doctrine, and calling on the Sec­ retary of State for all correspondence bearing on tho subject. Mr. Gallinger, o£ New Hamp­ shire, introduced in the House a resolution pro­ viding for an inquiry by the Civil-service lie- form Committee into the truth of newspaper re­ ports that the Democratic Campaign Committee is soliciting contributions from Democratic Congressmen aud others in the employ of tlie Government. While the sundry civil appropriation bill was under consideration in the House Mr. Laird (Neb.) mado a severe at­ tack upon Commissioner Sparks in his adminis­ tration of the General Land Office. Mr. Cobb (Ind.j defended the Commissioner, declaring that his action was meetiug with the condemnation of every land-grabber and speculator in the public lands. Mr. Payson (111.) said that he, as a member of the Committee on Public Lands, had advised and counseled Commissioner Sparks to issue the order of April 8, 1883, and he stood by that order to-day. It was said that Sparks was an enthusiast. He was an enthusiast; but his enthusiasm in reference to this question was in favor of tho poor man who desired to receive a home from his country. Sparks' order was a notice to land-grabbers that a halt was to be called upon them, and he (Mr. Payson) re­ gretted that owing to the pressure that had been brought by letters written bv men steeped in fraud up to their eyes there bail not been suffi­ cient backbone on the part of tho Secretarv of tho Interior to keep that order in existence. THE Senate passed the Des Moines land bill over the President's veto, on the 29th ult., by a vote of 34 to 15. The Senate agreed to confer­ ence reports on the army appropriation bill and the bill to amend the Pacific Railroad acta. Mr. Camden (W. Va.) denied a newspaper state ment that he had telegraphed from Washington that only six votes were necessary to carry the Senate for Payne, and the Standard Oil Company would pay $50,000 each for them. The Sentaor said that at the time named he was not in Washington, and that the story was without foundation and absurd. A resolution was adopted appointing Gen. William J. Sewell. Gen. M. T. McMahon, and Capt. John L. Mitchell as managers of the National Homes for Disabled Soldiers. The Senate took up the legislative, executive, and judicial bill, and some amendments reported by the Committee on Appropriations increasing the clerical force of tho State Department gave rise to a sharp debate in which Senators Edmunds of Vermont, Ingalls, of Kansas, and Hale of Maine criticised the administration. Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, brought the discussion to a close with the remark that the administration needed no defender in the Senate. The people of the United States would live to bow their knees in everlasting thankfulness to Almighty God that Grover Cleveland had become Presi­ dent of the United States. He was au honest man. a brave man, a true man. He was doing all that any mortal being could do to give the people of the United States an honest, fearless, economical, and constitutional administration. The discussion having closed, tho amendments on which it was based were agreed to. The House, in committee of the whole, rejected the motion of Mr. Laird (Neb.) to strike out the clause in the sundry civil bill appropriating 830,- 000 for protecting the public lands from fraudu­ lent entry. The general deficiency bill was re­ ported to the House. It appropriates 96,062,845. The House agreed to conference reports on the pension and agricultural appropriation bills. SENATOR EDMUNDS introduced in the Senate, on the 30th ult., a bill vesting in the President the sole power of appointing a large number of officers who are now appointed "by and with tbe advice and consent of tlie Senate." Among these are postmasters of |11 classes, collectors of internal revenue, certain collectors of cus­ toms, all territorial officers Cxcepr'Jnrigei'of the Supreme Courts, all district attorneys, and United States marshals, Indian agents, and district land officers. Resolutions of the Portland (Oregon) board of trade were laid before the Senate to tho effect that the previous resolutions of that body pro­ testing against the forfeiture of tho Northern Pacific land grant for tho uncoinnleted j ortion of ths Cascade branch were inconsiderate aud illegal and should be expunged from the record of the board. The House ill committee of the whole adopted an amendment presented by Mr. Randall (Pa.) appropriating 814,620 for the service of the army and navy hospital at Hot Springs, Ark. Chairman Boyle of the Pan-Electric Telephone Committee presented a report signed by himself and Messrs. Oates, Eden, and Hall, 'i he report was accompanied by the following resolution, which was concurred in by Mr. Hale, who also presented a report of his own: "Resolved, That a full, fair, and exhaustive investiga­ tion has fail.d to adduce any evidence which tends to show that Attorney-General Gar­ land, Solicitor-General Goode,. Secretary Lar- mar, Indian Commissioner Atkii s, Railroad Commissioner Johnstone,or Senator Harris, they being the officers named in the Pan-Electric publications of the newspaper press which gave rise to this investigation, did any act, official or otherwise, connected with the matter investi­ gated which was dishonest, dishonorable, or censurable." • ? * ' 5 •: * |f-' Co / V Lafagan's Logic.
