18 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MAY 10, 1874, WASHINGTON, [ Donn Piatt Brings Suit Against Com- missioner Leggett for Libel Gen. Howard Acquitted on All Charges Against Him. Debate in the House on the Indi- an Appropriation Bill. LIBEL SUITS. TONN PIATY VS. CONMISSIONER LEGGETT. Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune. Wasnixorox, D. C., May 9.—~Col. Donn Piatt, editor of the Washington Capifal, hes brought euitagaingt Gen. W. D, Leggett, Commissioner <f Patents, for libel, the first papers in the caso laving been led this morning by Gen. Bimoy, an attornoy of this city, formerly of Cincinnati. The alleged libel consists of the following, which was publisbed in tho Zenesville (Obic) Courier, on the 15th ultimo, over Gen. Leggett’s ignataro: Pictt manofactures out of whole cloth what he knows o be fale, and docs it pure’y 05 a blackmailiag apera- tion. bopiog to bave bis aflence purchased, 56 it has Deen by any number of good men on vers many occa- rions. T am told by thoso in circumstanicen to kuow wwhereof {hy epeak, that his blackmal receipts far ex- ceed the legitimate receipts of his puper. Others poy him for advertisements which never appear. Even members of Corpress ardor and pay for many thou- Fands of his paper, not a singlo number of which $5 dlivered, nor 'even printed, Others have clubbed togetber snd bought a fine louse ot rcsented to his wife, snd others again in cash directly, to prevent his publi- cation of fnfamons threatened slanders: all of which T lbave refired, aund will if 'iatt and George Alfred Townsend now) uti] doomsday. The use of Mr. Townsend’s name in this con- nection by Gen. Leggett is not warrauted, and is explained by the fact that when the publica- tion of the Capilcl wss begun Townsend was asgociated with Pialt wn its conduct. He bas not, bowever, been connceted with the psper eiuce the third month of its existence, a circum- - stance of which Leggett does mot appear to hove been advised. Col. Pinit lave i damages at 20,000 This sction seems timelv, in view of the fact that it haa hecome quito common for office-holders of all grades, when they are brought to account in 1he rewspapers for wronz-doing, to forthwith charge that it is done for blackmailing purposes, and ‘that tho silenco of the particuisr journai concernad could have been secured by the nc- cused by the payment of money. This loose eort of talk hus been practiced too long, and if it is not stopped by the issue of tho suit it will Do by others. These fellows will find that their owa bossted means of choking off the publica- tion of the truth, viz.: by bringing action for cl, can be used as well against them, and viill e NOTES AND NEWS. THE HOWARD CASE. WasEINGTOX, D. C., May 9.—The Court of In- quiry in the case of Gen. 0. O. Howard closed to-day. Their findings honorsbly acquit Gen. Howard on every charge. The papers are mow in tho hands of Judge-Advocate Gen. Holt, and will be by bim laid before the President for ap- proval KFEWSTAPER POSTAGE. The House Commitiee on Post-Offices and Post-Roads have agreed to recommend the ep- actment of & law which shall reguiro tho prepayment of postage on_all - news- papers and otber printed matter. Postmaster- General Creawell was present at the Committes mceting to-dsy, to assist in perfecting thodetails “of the bill. It will provide for the prepayment of postayo by the pound ; probably at the rate of 2 cents for newspapers and periodicals mailed rogularly by publishers. who can thus rut up | and prepay largo packages without the troable of scparafoly stamping publications destined for the same post-office.

Adopted. INTEREST ON PACIFIO BAILROAD DONDS. Mr. WILLIAMS, from the Committteo on_the ‘Pacitic Railroad, reported a bill for the collec- tiops of moneys due the United States by the Pacific Railroad Company. Ordered printed and rocommitied.

INDIAN APPEOPRIATION DILL. v ‘The House, at 11:30, went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. POLAND in the chair, on tha Indian Appropriation bill. In the conrse of the discussion of the Indian question, Mr. ELREDGE opposed the smend- ment requiring certain tribes to be put upon a reservation. He objected to that asouly snother form of slavery. He recommended fhat the In- dinps bo treated with fairoessand justice, and that the attempt to convert thom into * Christian Associations” be abandoned. It had beea con- ceded on all bands that thera had been nothing 80 injurious to tho Indiaus, or that had driven them into such hostility agawmst tho whites, 8 ‘what were called ¢ Christien Associations,” Mr. LOUGHRIDGE, who has ‘charge of the bill, denied that the effect of the reservation eystem was to make slaves of the Indiaus, 3Ir. STEELE reminded Mr. Eldredge if con- tact with Christians was demorslizing. then the aorality of the Indians would be promoted by Borregation. Remarks were mnde by Messra. HAWLEY and KIBLACK in favor of placing the Indians under military control, and by Mr. PARKER (Mo.) against it. A provosition, offered by Mr. BECE, requiring vouchers for Indian supplies. etc., to be submit. ted to the Executive Committes of the Indian Peaco Commusioners, gave rice to some lively diccuswion. Alr. Beck charged that such pro- ~vision, which had been put into the law £cmo 'years ago, had sinco been ropested Ju the interest of thioving Indian Agents. e declered that the Republican side of the Houeo was responsible before the country for opposing this provision, and thus refusing to apply the only safeguards that could bn raised neainst the paynient of millions of dollazs on fraudulent vouchers. 3ir. GARFIELD opposed Mr. Beck's proposi- tion, because its effect was to depose not oaly the Indinn Cormiseions, but tho Secretary of the Interior, and to impore their duties upon outside partics. Ho did not hesitate to call it a monstrous provosition, ~~ Mr BECK related varions instances of big Irauds on thae part of Tocian Agents, and said it was for the purnose of puttivg a stop to such frands that the law which he now proposed to 1onew had been originally pasved in 1869, and {ho gentleman from Ohio (Garfield) had mot tben dared to oppose it. Mr. GARFIELD(sarcastically)—Had not Gared? That is good, dr. BECK (cmpbaticaliy)—TYes, had not dared. '1put it with empuasis. The gentleman (Garfield) says I am imnosing this provision on ibe department. Yamnot; I am imposing it on the thicves iusido that department, and only cathem. T want to make it impossible for frazdulent vouchers to be paid. Jr. BGCTLER (Tenn.) approved of the repeal of t‘b%hm' which 3r. Beck wished to have re- enzcted. Mr. LOUGHRIDGE admitted thers were frauds committed under the Indian Burean, but denied that they were peculier to this era or to this Administration. After further discussion, Mr. BECK withdrew his proposition. At last tho bill was got through in committes of the whole, aund reported to the Houze. i PROPERTY TRANSFER. Mr. STOWELL, from the Comuitteo on Post~ Otices, reported & bill suthorizing the Post- master Genersl to join Gen. Jones, lato Post- master of New York, in the conveyeuce of cer- tain resl ostate which was the proparty of J. . Norion, defsulting post-office oficial, Passed. R The Houeo then adjourned.

IxpraxaroLts, iay 9.—The following is a sum- mary of the lotter published in this morning's Journal from Senator Morton : : Thers appears to be a misapprehension on tho part of & portion of tho press in regard to tho provisions of THE FINANCE BILL which recently passed the two Houses of Con- grees, bat from whieh the Prosident withheld bhis approval. The bill is criticised as if it au- thorized o new cmission of United States notes, which wouid increaso tho difficulty of a return to specie payments, and thercby involve & breach of national faith pledged for the redemp- tion of those notes in coia. THE FIBST SECTION of the bill, and the only ono which relates to United States notes, is 1 these words : ** Tho maximum smouut of United States notos is hereby fixed at $400,000,000. Beference is then made to the acts of June 30, 1864, April 12, 1866, March 4, 1868, to sbow the offect of this provieion, The right of the Secretary to ro- iesuo any part of this $44,000,000, or to INCREASE THE CIRCULATION of these notes above £356,000,000, has been con- tinuaily dewied by many lawyers, in Congress and out of 1t, aud a lerge portion of the press, and the question cannct be 8aid o be free from doubt. At tho last session of Congress & mi- nority of tho Finance Committeo of the Senate, through tho Chairman, Mr. Shorman, reporte to the Sennte for ite adoption the following resolation : “Resolved, That, in theTopinion of the Senate, the Secretary of the Treasury las not the power upder existing laws to imue United States noles for any portion of the £44,000,000 retirod and canceled under the reveral laws on that subject. My first impression bad beon against tho ex- istence of tho power, but, on further examina- tion, I thought it FAIRLY DEDUCIBLE from & comparison of statistics. and personally urged upon the President and Sccrotary tho {rco use of the £44,000,000 rescrve to check the rograss of the panic and alloviate ita disasters, n Itis veto message, aud in his lotter to Messrs, Claflio and_Anthony, on the 28th of September last, the President treats the $44,000,000 as being AY LXISTING RESERVE sum of money slready in the Treasury, as much g0 as if a like sum received from taxesto be used at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasuty for certain purposes, He regards the masimum smount of United States notes as $£400,000.060, and treats the $44,000,000 as in ac~ tusl existence. The first section of the bill do- clures the law to be what the President and Sec- retary assumed it to be. It declares that tho mum awount of United States notes shall §409,000,000,—that is the amount beyond which tha issue shall not be extended. Tha other soction of this bul authorizes the ncrease of BANK-NOTE CIECULATION to the amount of $16,000,000, to be distributed among the States havivg less than their propor- tion upon the basis of the act of 1865, the naw banks to_be established upon the terms, liabili- tics, and restrictions imposed upon existing tanke, heinfi required to secure their bills by deposits of bonds, to redeem them in United States nofes upon demand over their own counters, or in one of the redemption cities, and with the additional restriction that all banks, old und ner, shall keep one-fourth of tho coin interest they raceive upon ther bonds depus- ited for the fecurity of their notes, This Erorision loaked forward,and was the first step taken in that direction by Cougress. Tho §46,000,000 provided for came fall 230,000,000 short of equaliziug the distribation smong the States upon the basis of theact of 1865. Under that act the New Eogland States were entitled to less than §40,000,000, but they received 3110,- 000,000, and the other Eastern States had no ex- cesa of nearly £120,000,000. The most of the friends of the bill DESIRED TREE BANKING, that is, the rostriction taken off ss to the amount and locality of the circalation of Na- tional banks, eo ‘that people should be left free in every part of the Unitod States to establish Natioual Banks wherever and when- ever their local wants and necessities demanded them. The purposeof thus letter is not to enter into m:{ dofeneo of the second section of the bill, bat to removo » misapprehonsion that ap- fi(laura to prevail in regard to the first. Whether 9 VOLUME OF THE COBRENCY is sufficient for the business of the country is & quostion of fact abont which men may honestly differ. During the four years preceding ihe pauic there had been an actual conraction of the currency, and a much larger comparative contraction Teenlting from the growth of popu- Istion snd business. A majority of Congrass ‘were of the opinion that to produce a RESTORATION OF CONFIDENCE, a speedy revival of business, and a return to the prosperity which waa so suddenly destroyed by 1he panic, somo addition shoutd be made to the volums of the currency. That the bill which has failed to become a 1aw would have prodaced some contraction is undoubtedly true, but it would have been almost entirely in the stock market in New York. It is & well-understood fact that THE_BESERVES of the Western and Southern banks Lkept in New York have been losved by the New York banjs almost exclusively upon call to deslers in stocks, and have thus contributed to stimulate unwholo~ £ome speculation, and have thus been of very little benslit to the mercantile or manufncturing community. The evil resulting from this fact was strikingly illustratod during the panic last fall. The stockholdors who hl({" BORROWED THE NONEY were not able to repay the New York banks, and therin tumn wers unable to paythe country banks from which the money had been received, and thus the disaster of the panic was greatiy sggravated. This bill in effect requirod the banks outside of the redemption cities to keanp three-fourths of their reserve at home, and wounld have withdrawn some millions from the stock market in New York, which wouldetrangth- en the banks to which.they belonged, and would have produced contraction in & quarter whers it 18 prety weil understood that CONTRACTION WOULD DO NO HARM. The act of 1869, to strengtuen the public credit, declares that the United Stntes solemo- ly pledges its faith to make _provis- 10n at the earlieat practicable period for redemption of the United States notes to coin. In the debate upon this bill nobody has denied tho binding force of that pledge, but the ques- tion 88 10 the practicability of the period for its performance remaing a8 open 88 it did npon the day it was passed. Very few members of either House have agrood upon & method for the DESTAPTION OF SPECKE-PATMENT. ‘While the Government is pledged to redeom tho lezal-teuder motes in coinat the earliest practical period, the purpose to do o should ever be ket in viow, yot that period i by mauy not deemed to be practicablo when there is great stagnation in business, Much Iabor has been unomployed, the rovenues have largely fallen off, and there has been much distress and suffering in every part of the country. NEW YORK. Lenase of the Atlantic & Grent Wests ern Rond—-Theatre Licenscs. New York, May 9.—The lease of the Atlantic & Great Westarn Railroad by the Erig Railway Compaay has been practically completed, oa substantially tho following basis : ., Tho Atlantic & Great Western Road, with all ita m)hng:wck and appurtensnces, ig taken as it 1t stands for a lease of 100 years, and is to_be un by the Eric mauagers at a total rent of 30 per ceot of tho gross receipts. Should the nerw managers, howeser, ovor succeed in redcing the runniog expenses bolow 70 per cent of the BrOES receipls, 50 28 to leavo s margin of profi between that smount and 30 per cent of the Tent, such margia is to be divided in equal parts between the coniracting parties. Some matcers of detail remain to be adjusted. _The theatrical managers of this city have com- bined to ccntest the legahty of the legislative act passed in” 1872, requinng the payment of a license fee into the Treasury of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinguents, The license fee smounts to 3500 annually for theaires cireuses, and concert-balls alike, with a graduated taxation for leseer periods, and the penaity. in & cazo of failure to meet the bill is 1,000 for each performance. The society, which 'benefits by this obnoxious license act, is the one which threatened to enforce 1t3 provisions on the little nowaboys' Grand Duke Theatre lzst winter.

Swectal Dispatch to Ths Clacado Tribune. Font WAINE, Ind., May 9.~The Sentinel this afternooan contains an ahstract of the decision of Judge Osborno, of the Supreme Court at Tn- dianspolis, in the case of Robert S, Taylor v, the City of Fort Wayne. The case is ono of the most important on the docket of the Supreme Court, and the decision excites universal sur~ prise. The factsare briefly theso: About ten years since a ummber of gentlemen living on tho territory immediately southwest of the city filed a petition with the County Commissioners for incorporation ns & town, aiming thereby to &void annexation to the city and thoe payment of city taxes, The City Attoroey sppeared before the Comumssioners, and resisted ths application. The Commisstoners postponed their decision till 8 subsequent session, and, meanwhilo, the City Council sunexed the territory 1 question to the city., Thereupon, suit was bronght by petitioners in the Circuit Court to set aside the ordinance, but & decision was rondered in the cits's favor, The case wos abpealed to the Stato Suoreme Court, = whero it has been peuding since. The matter was practically abandomed by most of the petitioners, many of whom had paid the tax- es demanded. A number of snits for refunding taxes may now bo expected.
