HOW THE AMBITIOUS DEMOCRACY EUCHRED EDL Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasurnerow, D.C., Jan. 31.—The proceed- ings in the House this morning before the eulogies on the late Rush Clarke, of Iowa, began, were not entirely suited to a funeral occasion. ‘There was the ‘usual inclination on the part of members present to introduce bills and resolutions, among which was a memorial from Jere Haralson,. of Alabama, who is contesting the seat now occupied by Mr. Shelley. Haralson is a colored man, ‘was a member of’ the Forty-fourth Congress, and claims that he was bulldozed out of bis Tights by.Shelley in the last election. The introduction of the memorial, which sets forth a number of allegations against Shel ley, was VIGOROUSLY COMBATTED BY THE DEMO- cRaTS, who found abundant constitutional objections tosucha proceeding. Mr. Keifer, who pre- sented the paper, claimed that it came to him to be presented to the House, and, according to the. time-honored precedent, should ‘be tinted in pamphlet form ane referred to the lections Committee. After the debate had proceeded some time, a motion was made to lay the memorial on the table, which, to the rise of Mr. Shelley’s friends, the Speaker decided out of order. Mr. Frye then made the point that on the request of a single member the inemorial might be read, and then must go into the record. The Chair sustained this view, whereupon Frye de- manded the reading of the memorial. ‘This BROUGHT THE OPPOSITION TO TERMS, | and it was Snally agreed that the document might be printed for the use of the Commit- tee, just what was first claimed by Mr. Kei- fer. The memorial is not formidable, though Shelley and his colleague, Manning, seemed to be very much afraid of it. fanning wanted ‘to stipulate | thas thing offensive to “Gen.” Shelley be printed. Mr. Haralson ‘simply | sets forth that in counting the returns a large number of votes were thrown out, so as to make the record stand: Shelley, 8,115; Haralson, 6,540; Henry, Greenbacker, 314. ‘The registration shows the whole number of white voters in the district to be 6,800; col- ored, 23,000; so that Shelley’s vote was con- siderably GREATER THAN THE TOTAL REGISTERED ‘WHITE VOTE in the district. Immediately after the elec- tion, Haralson filed a notice of contest with Shelley, but could find no Justice of the Peace who would take the affidavits of his witnesses. At last Judge Craig, of the First Judicial . Circuit, consented to act in that capacity, wherenpon Shelley, the me- morial says, had all Haralson’s. witnesses in- dicted ant pubin jail. He also had Haralson and his attorney. indicted on a trumped-u charge. Haralson, while en route from Mon gomery to Selma, was met by an armed mob and told to leave the country ON PAIN OF DEATH. He then went back to Montgomery, and then to Washington. He appends an editorial from the Selma Daily Ttmes of July 30, 1878, which: shows’ the animus of the Shelley faction.. .It charges him with inciting the negroes to riot, with asking for United States troops to overawe the people, and warned him to leave the country at once. Haralson claims that Shelley instigated these attacks upon him, which resulted in the following state of things: ‘First—All lawful means of establishing his right toaseat.in the House of Representa- tives have been overthrown and rendered pugatory by Gen. Shelley and his political ends. Second—It is impossible under the existing law to fake depositions in these cases by rea~ son of the fixed and avowed purpose of the political and personal friends of Gen. Shelley in the district to deny the freedmen all civil and political rights. Third—That Shelley used large sums of mone Aa make his (Haralson’s) success im- ossible. "the editorial, which is appended to the memorial, contains, among 0 threatening language, the following: H Now, Jerry, you devil, vou: are in danj before you how it, will bite y snake. ‘ Again: fe Now, while we will not advise any one to shoot you, we are free to say that if you continue in your present course, and it is done, we shed no tears over your demise. THE PETITION. To tho Western Associated Press. Wasmnctox, D.C., Jan. 31.—Mr. Keifer presented a petition by Jere Haralson, rela- tive to the contested-election case of Haralson against Shelley from the Fourth District of ‘Alabama, and asked that it be printed and re- ferred to the Committee on Elections. Some opposition was made to the printing of. the petition on Democratic side on the ground that it was com- petent for the Committee on Elections to order its printing if it saw fit, but finally Mr. Krifer’s motion was agreed to. The memo- nalist sets forth in his petition that, after the declaration of the result of the Congressional election, he endeavored to take depositions for use in ‘his contest, but that the Mayor of Selma and other officers authorized by law to take depositions refused to do so on the ground that it would be working against the interests of the Democratic party. He al- leges that Gen. Shelley procured indictments against all the witnesses summoned in his °s) behalf, and had them arrested into jail, and kept them there till the time within which he might take evi- dence had expired. He also alles Shelley paid or caused to be paid a large sum of money to the officers of election at several precincts in Lowndes County to. refuse to sign tho election returns; and he appeals to the House for an investigation into the mat- ters complained of - THE EXODUS. . ” MORE TESTIMONY. Wasnrnctos, D. C., Jan. 83.—Before the Senate Exodus Committee to-day the exam- ination of M. T. Lewman, Sheriff of Green- castle, Ind., was concluded. He testified in reply to questions by Mr. Voorhees that he met and had an interview with a colored and, with a man named Heath, who came on 2. mail-car from Washington to Greencastle, over the Vandalia..Road. The mai-route agent’s name was Reynolds.. Heath told witness the people on the carhad treated him kindly. Heath was trying to find a location for col- ored emigrants, and told witness his object in the first place was to get to Kansas, but at Washington, Adams, Secretary. of the Emi- grant Aid Society, asked him to stop at Indianapolis. He had letters to Judge Mar- tindale and Col. Holloway, prominent Indi- ana Republicans. ‘One reason for the col- ored people leaving’ North Carolina was to. better their condition, and another réason was that their friends in Washington desired as meny of them as possible to'get out of North Carolina and ‘into Indiana before the ~ census was taken, about. May 1, so as to de- crease the representation of North Carolina and increase that of Indiana. Ten thousand intended to come. Heath supposed when be was making these statements he wasa Re- publican. He said the Republicans ‘had pro- Roped ito eay pelt the ‘ex; ens of the trip. 5 of remember ny name but that of Adams. e MeUHOn Of M cross-examination by Mr. Windom, ness stated that his county is well nee There is no demand for labor there. The dis- satisfaction felt on acconnt of the emigration © is not because of the emigrants’ color, but because they reach there destitute and have to be supported by the. county, and hecausa they overstock the- labor market. There is ill feeling among the laborers of both polit- ical parties. Itsometimes took the shape of threats. One man who hired some of the negroes had his: barn burned a few days later. This matter was before the Grand Jury. Witness preferred on that account nos to speak of it. ere were bad men of both parties there. Perhaps the Democrats had urned the barn. Could not say whether this. conduct would have ie effect of aeterring: people from hiring emi- gran S, and- s0 cause it to appear ere was no: demand for labor. He met Heath at the depot when he’came in on the train, and, on ‘representing himself asa Re- publican. got into conversation. with him. ‘old Heath the Republicans wanted a good many negroes to come to’ Indiana, eath said there was no doubt they would get all they wanted, but. it would be necessary to pay half their expenses, because those that ad horses would nat leave home, and those without horses could not afford the expense. Witness got the impression that no arrange- ments had yet been made whereby their ex- penses were tobe paid. Heath found fault with the store-order system of pay in North Carolina, Next morning witness met Mr. Bridges, a Democrat, who said he had seen .Heath, and informed him that he (Heath) had fallen into the hands of a Democrat instead of a Republican the night before, and Heath thereupon hur- riedly left the town. Some of the negroes desired to return home. Heath had handed witness three slips of paper. At Mr. Voorhees’ request, witness read what was on the slips, 2s follows: “Postmaster Langsdale_and Mr. Clay (colored), at Greencastle, Putnam County, on the ‘Terre Haute Railroad: Provide for this gentleman. More are coming.” in the back, “ Holloway, P. M.”? “Union Depot Mail Office, Reynolds.” “J. ML. Adams, 1,538, V. St. N. W.” To Mr. Voorhees—It is necessary for the Sheriff_to dissimulate in order to obtain in- formation: from suspicious characters. The dissatisfaction in the county is not_confined to Democrats, but is felt by many Republic- ans, especially among the laboring class. No objection would he made to self-support- ing immigrants. All the Republican papers witness had read condemned the Committee and approved the exodus. “ At Mr. Windom’s request, Heath will be summoned as a witness. THE TREASURY.

SECRETARY SCHURZ STILL RETICENT AS TOS THE CAUSE. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribuns, Wasuryctox, D. C., Jan. 31:—The only statement that Secretary Schurz is disposed to make to newspaper representatives as to the removal of Commissioner Hayt is, that the cause of the removal was the fact that Hayt had withheld information. Coupled with this is the statement on the part of Secretary Schurz’s friends that the investign- tion of the Board of Indian Commissioners had nothing to do with the removal. The facts in this case will probably be disclosed by an investigation which is already promised to be made in the Senate. Meanwhile, if those in Official authority decline to make any de- tailed statement, others who know something of the facts are not so taciturn. From agen- tleman who is pretty well informed as to the operations of this secret inquest of the Board of Indian Commissioners, : THE. FOLLOWING FACTS and opinions are obtained: On Monday of this week Secretary Schurz is reported to have said to a member of this Investigatins. Board that he wished to have them hasten thelr operations, and desired to have them submit their report. to him‘ before sending it to New York. On Monday or Tuesday of this week a member of this secret Committee said that Commissioner Hayt would not be ‘in office later than Thursday. It wason Thurs- day that he was removed. . On’ Wednesday certain facts became definitly known: which itis believed Induced Secretary Schurz to decide upon THE REMOVAL OF HAYT, _ even if he had not already determined upon such a course prior to thattime. On Wednes- day the inquiry reached its culmination, and that day the facts became known that a series of questions and cross-questions had been prepared at the instance of a member of the Committee to be sent to New’ Jersey to be answered by the. relatives and sup- posed . associates of Commissioner Hayt in the purchase of the Arizona silver mine, namely: Hagen, Camp, Dechsler, and Knapp. It was suggested in the Committee that it might.be better.to have these persons sum- moned.. Hayt made a vigorous protest. ‘There is-reason to think ‘that: prior. to this time Commissioner Uayt atleast knew that Gen, Hammond, who was to arrive on Wednesday night, would testify that * THE FAMOUS LETTER, | written from Evanston to the’ Agent Hart at San Carlos; was a genuine ‘letter, and had been’ written at the instance of Commis- stoner Hayt himself.~ At all events, it is now known that soon after the arrival of theeven- ing train, upon which Gen. Hammond came, Hayt’s triends were at depot’ Ham- monil’s purpose became known to Hayt, and Commissioner. Hayt that same evening vis- ited Secretary. Schurz at the house of the latter, and {3 said to have remained there until 1 o’clock.of the morning of Thursday. What was developed at’ that interview of course Is not known, but it can scarcely be believed that Commissioner Hayt at that time WITHHELD FROM SECRETARY SCHURZ the knowledge. which le had of the fact that Gen. ond would testify to er eee ee eet ee |
