House Democrats Sorely Muddled About the Doorkeepership. / Butler’s Motion Leaves Them in a Very Awkward Position, Their Only Choice Lying Between & Union and Confederate General. A Yery Curions Turn Taken Ly the MecGarrahan Investigation. The New Idris Company Sadly Set Back by One of Its Own Witnesses, /II'E DEMOCRATIC MUDDLE. POLE'S SUCCESSOR. Special Dispatch 1o The Trivune. WASTINGTON, D. C., April 6.—The Democrats are in very serions political embarrassment on account of the caucus nomination of Confeder- ate Maj.-Gen. Ficld to be Doorkeeper. Gen. Butler's resolution of sesterday, that the House proceed to'the clection of a Doorkeeper, and 1hat the true Union, maimed soldier, Brig.-Gen. James Shields, be chosen to that office, was o Ppitee of strategy which the Demacrats do not comprebend. The House on Friday declined to consider that mouon a question of privileze, and it was postponed until Monday. Then the House will mect the question. 1f the decision is that the question is not privileged, then there is 10 way of electing a Doorkeeper, as UNANINOUS CONSENT WOULD UE IMPOSSIBLE except by an ordinary reporton the subjeet from thie Committee on Rules, which could be obstructed at every possible stage. The House, of course, will decide that the question is privi- Jeged. 71bat done, Gen. Butler's resolution to clect the maimea Union soldier, Shields, must first be voted upon. That can only be disposed of by 2 motion on the part of the Democrats to substitute their caucus nominee, the Confeder- ate Maj-Gen. Field for the Unfon .Gen. Shields. Butit will also be necessary to strike out the words, *“that true Union, maimed sol- dier.” The Democrats wiil be compelled to MAKE A RECORD VOTE . between two Democratif candidates, one of whom was a Confederate, the other a wounded Union General. More than that, the Confederate General has beeu a citizen of the United States but two montbs, within which period his disabilities have bLeen rewoved. He was 3 West-Pointer, a General in the Southern army, and since the War has been an fnsurance awent, and lately on officer fo the army of the Khedive of Egypt- The question even may arise wherher that service would causehim to forfeit bis American citizenship, _even if he uod pot been under disability. There is mo possible escape for e Demoerats from this dilemma.. They will sclect the_ex-Confederate Democrat over the wounded Union soldier Democrat. The North- ern Democrats are greatly troubled at this situ- atfon. They have been busy to-day in urzing Shields’ Irish friends turoughout the country to telugraph here imploring him to decliue to be a candidate, and pledging thewselves to bave the Dill increasing his pension passed if be will take Tiimself out of the way, and some of his friends to-night sag that he will not aceept the oftice i given by Republican voies. Southern Dewo- crats even admit that this decision may have A VERT IMPORTANT BEARING on the coming Congressional election, and may cause the loss of close aistricts, and even de- prive the Democrats of the control of the House. Gen. Banning, bowever, declared that tue Demo- crats hate to sce the Democratic party quake and hesitare every time the Republicans hold up thie bugbear of the Union soldier. The Demo- cratie party, he says, mever lost sight of the nterest of the Union soldier. 1t was the party of the old Union soldier, and_whenever offices were in its gift they had beeu given to the soldier. By their timidity tie Democrats al- Jowed the Republicans to make capital of this bugbear. It was time that all the walk about Tnion and Confederate soldiers cease, especially in the Democratic party, and all the party need is more courage. M’GARRAHAN. ORE TESTIMONY AND AFFIDAVITS. Special Dispaich fo The Tribune. Wasmiseros, D. C., Aprit 6.—The Senate Committec on Public Lands coutinted the Me- Garrabian fnvestization this morning. Owing to ‘the absence of Eber Inrersoll, one of McGarra- Than’s counsel, the cross-esamination of the Jat~ ter was postponed. Lengthy depositions from former clerss in the General Land Office, show- 3z the method of excuting land patents, were read, The New Idria counsel also offered the depositions of Judge Otic. Acting-Secretars of the Interior in 1863, and M. H. Lowry, a clerk in the Land Office, showing that no patent was ever issued to "McGarraban. J. H. Armstrong, Chief Clerk of the Private Laod Division, Gen- eral Land Office, was cxamined. He presented THE ORIGINAL ORDER from_ Scerctary Otto o the Commissioner of he General Land Oflice, dircetin the latter to suspend the execution of the McGarraban ‘patent, and also a Jetter from the Attorney- General. datea Mareh 12, 1563, to the Secretary of the Interior, John P. Usher. asking him to forhid the issue. Witness produced the original patent to McGarrahan, which was unexecuted: “This is the patent that MeGarrahan clains was sizned, and which was enbsequently mutilated. The McGarrahau people are much clated to- night over the testimony of Chester, chicf of one of tue Laud-Oftice divisions in the Iuterior Department. Ciester had been called as 8 wit- ness on behalf of the New Idra Company, to rove that tbe patent to McGarrahan never was jssued, and tbat the allered patent was un- sigued. The witness certainly did not prove to Le a happy one for the New Idria Company. e fmmediately began to examine the parch- ment patent, ana deciared that the patent . EVIDESTLY HAD BEEN MUTILATED, tuat the last page was ot a petitition of the ,patent, but wasa substituted one, and that in Lis opinion ithad becn substituted for s page which haa been sigued and approved by Abra- haw Lincoln, giving effect to the patent. His cvidence certuinly was a surprise to the New 1dria lawyers, and it was scarcely a less sur- yrise to McGarraban, who scemed to have uo knowledge of what the testimony of the wit- ness would be. The explanution of the Me- Garraban people of the unexpected turn in the .case {s that under former Administrations there has been a system of terrorism and political pressure to prevent clerks. from testifying to all they knew from fear of being dismissed THROUGH POLITICAL INFLUENCE. Such ‘things are_not possible under Schurz’s corted to'all kinds of devices to obtain an op- rtunit Doavinech that he ship IS unscaworthy.

Special Dispatch to The Trivune. DrTrOIT, April 6.—Fuller returns make some- what more - apparent the dimensions of the demonstrations made by the National party in the township and charter clections fn this State on Monday last. It.has certainly manifested unexpected strength, and must be counted as an important factor in political calculations for the fall campaigu. Its organization is, in the main, secret, and it is using the machinery which proved so useful years ago to the manipu- Jators of the Rmow-Nothing movement. Its Dasis of action is the pre-existing organizations known us the Greenback Club and Working- men’s Societies, except the Communistic organizations, and its votes have chiefly come from the small farmers of the rural townships and the laboring classes in the eltfes. Its work has been pushed with much vigor all winter, sod speakers bave addressed meetings throughout the State, docu- ments have been widely circglated. and about s aozen papers have been started and supported in fts interest. 1t has met no resistance worthy of the name. The Democracy is chronically without vizor in this State; apathy has ruled in Republican ranks; while the Iricnds of souna fivance apparently trusted to the intrinsic merits of their doctrines,—certainly they did notking. Ten days before the charter-elcctions of March, National tickets begun to make their appearance: at the clections (some tweuty in Jumber) there was cousidersble National strength manifested, and some decided victorics won, For_instance, in the thriving Village of Paw Paw, the National ticket polled mavy more votes than the Republican aud Democratic tickets united.. Ten days be- fore the resulsr town-meetings of April, the activity of the Nationals was the striking.mani- festation on_the surface of local polities, and their predictions of victory secmed extravagant, but, in the eud, proved to be reasonably well fonuded. What they accomplished, as far as at present appears, may be thus summarized. Of course personal, local, and side issues greatly affect all the township contests, but still the ag- pregate result on Supervisors affords a fair in- dication of political results, and that vote is followed In this statement In tois city there was no election, except a slim vote on some constitutioual smendments. 1n the towns of this county (Wayne) the Nation- als elected thirteen out of twenty Supervisors, carrying some of the most reliable (herctofore) of the Republican and Demnocratic strongholds. In Kcnt, the second county of the State, where the Democratic papers and orzans have for years been coddling the Ereenbmi: ideas, and where the Republicans Bave been rather fn- clined to foliow Senator Ferry in his expansioa doctrines, the Nationals gained a genuine tidal- wave victory. 'They carried seventeen of its swenty-four towns, and. in the City of Grand Rapids (the second’ in the State), elected their Mayor by over 800 plurality. Iu the important City of Jackson the Nationals defeated.a coali~ tion of the other parties. and, of the ninetcen towns of the county, they carried ten. The City of Adrian was carried by the Nationals, and four of the towns in its county,—Lenawee. In the strong Republican County of Calhoun, both of the large cities of Battle Creek an Marshall were carried by the Nationals, as were sixof the raral townships. In Allexan County, seven towns elected National or Green- back Supervisors. In Barry County, the mew movement was & tidal waye,—carrying fifteen ont of vighteen towns, and polling a popular vote of at least 700 majority. In Branch Coun~ ty. the City ot Coldwater Wwas captured; from the luterior 10wne the returns are quite bock- ward, but at least four towns (probably more) chose Greenback Supervisora. Rillsdalo has al- Ways been considered the bauner Repubiican county, and generally good for 2,500 majority: but eizht or teu of its towns were claiwed by the Nationals, who proved strong at all poluts within its boundaries. Inzham County contains the State Capital,—~Lansing; it was carried by fhe Nationals ' with the help of the Democerata, and 50 were five of the townshios of the county. Iu Kalamozoo, a county geerally Republican in all sections, one-baff of the towns were carried by thie allied Greenbackers and Democrats. Tn the adjoining Counties of Clinton aud Ionia, two aud four towns respectively elected National Supervisors. Vau Buren County was the scene of a series of Natlonal victorics. and that party bas nine mem- hers of its Board of Supervisors. From Tuscola County reports are seattering, but it was sub- stantiaily carried by the Greenback clemnent in varfous forms. In other counties the reports thus far show the National strength, as meas- by Supcrsisors, to be as follows: Monroe, two; Midlund, four; Ottava, tive: Shiawassce. three; St. Juseoh, four; Washtenaw, two. These figures arc liable 1o be_ increased somewliat by tuller returns: and, of the 700 and odd_Super- visors in the State at larwe, probably 200 ropre- sent Greehback organizations outside of the ola parties. The political sources of the movement ean- not be aceurately ascertuined. The Democrats have suffered heavily in some quarters, notably in this connty and iu the western part of the State; but Hillsdale, Kent. Branch, Barry, and other such counties. inve always been counted on for havdsome Republican wajorities. It scems to be a safe fnference that the disorgan- ized condition ot Republican sentiment bas offered the best opportunitics for this kind of defection. and that that party is the chiefest sufferer so far. The conspicuious local leaders ju the new movement are these: ~ Moses W, Ficld, forone term a Republican Member of Congress from this district, who was overwhelminely defeated for re-election, and is in general bad odor here, —he is rich, persistent, and reasonably effective sdminfstration. This witness, thercfore, con- cluded to tell the truth. .Whatever the facts way prove to be. the McGarrahan people to- night think they sce the turn in the long road, und are covfident of a_favorable report from the Committee. If the expectations of Me- Garraban’s lawyers to-night are true, this very romantic national claim and scandal will have 3 dramatic terminatio NOTES AND NEWS. THE NEW ORLEANS COLLECTORSHIP.

Bishop bad heard the rambling of discontent, and seut his Execative Clerk 10 the legislative Chamber to- day to request Mr. Tyler, member of the Ho to call at the Governor's oflice. Mr. Tyler responded to this polite request by pointedly telliug the clerk to tell his Excellency to “ Go to Hell 5 that if the Governor desirer him ne would be found at his desk. ‘The following extract from the House jour- nal tells the whole story from Mr. Tyler's standpoint, and will make useful ammunition for the Republicans during the coming cam- paign: On leave, Mr. Tyler introdacea the following resolution: Wieneag. It is reported that J. B.

Reasons Why Reul Estate Is Alive Here and Dead in New - York. Sales of the Week---Condition of the Loan-Market--- How Rents Are. The real-estate-market {s in a much better condi- tion 1n Chicazo thanin New York, Phiadelphia, Bos- ton, or other Eastern cities, This statement is made upon the evidence of New Yorkers, Bostonians, and Philadelphiaus. Tbe Boston Traceller contains & dispateh from New York, glying the particalars of 5 striling fnstance of the depreciation in real es- tate, and the difficaity of selhing it any aoy price in New York. One Josiah Jex offered for sale sever- alof the finest properties on Broadway at public auction. Nearly half a block a the coraer of Thirtieth etrcet, for which $526,000 was refused two years ago, sold for $206,000. and there was creat difficalty 10 obtain that. The lots and prem- ises o Forty-gecond and Broadway, occupied by 4 #irm of wholesale Jgracers and the Staudard Clab, for which four years ago Jex refused an offer of $150,000, Were sold for $165,000. Thirteen other Saluable parcels were withcrawn because no bids conid be got beyond 40 per cent of the limit to the suctionccr. No sugh instance of reduction in value can be found in {mproved prop- erty in Chicago. The Xew Yark press are” contin- ually reminding us that money ls superabundant in that city,end that its capitalists arc complaining of u searcity of investments. They evidently have not the faith to put their money into New York real estate. A very different state of afakrs pre- vails in Chicago, Every week we have to record the fnvestments of Chicago merchants or manu- factarers who pat thelr CHICAGO EARNINGS INTO CHICAGO REAL ESTATE. * All the desirable properties for sale are taken up either by home investars or by wealfhy Bostonian, New York; or Philadelphia money-makers, who are thus transferring their capital from the East-to the West. * This preference of Eastern men for Western inveatments and the tendency of astern capital to come West are freshly illustra- o every dsy. The representative of a large Pitts- fLurz manufactariog frm is oW nezotiating the purchase of real ecstate here on which to place & Chicazo branch of the main bosiness, Severul oth- er cases of the eame kind ure pending. Eastern wen freely admit the drifc of capita and enterprise Westward, and the superior_conaition of Uhicago real estaté in comparison with thut ia their own purt of the country. One of our best known and most active real-cstate men, Mr. W. D. Rerfout. hus just returned from a business-trip to New York ond Philadelphia, und a ThisusE reporter ot some interesting points from him in an ivter- view yesterday about the experience of Esstern parties with Chicaro investaents. *+Tow did you find busimess generally, and real estace in pasticular, 1n New York an 'Philadel- “\There is not & particic of life in real estate 1n the Eastern cities 1 visited. Property cannot be sold at suciion ut all; there aro feéw or no private sales; foreclosure salcs form the vast majority, and lenders who have advanced money on real ed- tate find themselves, in & vast mujority of cages, obliged to take it in for the incumbrance. This is particulazly the case with the great insuraace cutu- panies.. . The New York law forbids the 1nsurance companica to losn on rea] estate not within filty miles of the city. AS o consequence of tlis re- striction, NEW YORK REAL ESTATE IS OVERLOADED with mortguges, and - these companie’ have now on their hand3 a hiige amount of real estate they have had to take, aud which they cannot realize on. TThe fact i3, that while New York hus ocen talking about Western kitellying, 1t bas sent its bulloons out of sight.” X * How do Eastern capitalists regard their West- investments?" 4+ As the best they have made: especlally their Chicago Joans. Une Pinladelphia capitalist, who has large smounts of money losned on real estate in different cities, told me~ big Chicngo loans were better than those he bad anywhere; much better than bis St Louis louns. The gentlemen I met hud perfoct confidence in their Western invest- wents: they got their interest recularly, and had 20 trouble in obtaming the principal. A New York moneyed mun told me L6 bud _been - offered aJarge _bonus by & Chicazo mortgagor to take his moncy ‘Vefgre it was due, but had refused [0 do ko, as he could not atford to let £o s0 500d a Joan." **'Dhese men are beginning to accept the Chica- go view of Chicugo"" - *-Yes, They see that while businessis leaving them, it is golng to Chicazo. All through New York, Pennsylvania, and New England, colonies are being formed 1o settle I’ the Weslern States. All these colonics will be tributary to Chicago. Their produce will be sold here. Theirimplewents -and goods will be bought here. 1 found this col- oniztion movement in progress even in Lancaster County, the very garden of Lennsylvanie. These peoplé are gofng to Kansas, Tow braska, and Minnesata. _ They will leavd sumething in Chicago 25 1hey go through, and every year wil BUY AND SELL MOUE in this city."” +\What does New York think of all this¥ The New_Yorkers arc masing up their minds that New York is fo be the Paris of Ameriea, the place where the rich and luxurious, and their at- iendant pobuintion eather, but thatits commercial supremacy is going, never to retura. Commercial men in New York told me it po longer paid them 10 4end their traveling salesmen west of Chicaco. That business had passed into the hands of Cicus o merchants. Eastern houses are dnding it more profitable to seftle in Chicago tham to_ carry on competition from 30 remote s point as New Y ork. :All these “things build up Chicago real estate. The population tributary to it s beinz swelled by domestic and foreign immigration: 3ts business 3 aeveloping; its improved real estale yields good returns, and its reputation for promprness of pa ment of 1nterest aud privcipal of ts loans is hug] e aiiference in rents shows how much BETTER CHIGAGO REAL E3TATE ig sustainedt tnan that in tne East.
