The nomination of Leonard is understood to have been made on the solicita tion uf Senator Kellogg, and Marks was one of the Hayes electors for Louisiana. It is sup- pesed that the object in moving for a recon. sideration in Marks’ ease is ‘to ascertain whether he was a party to the forged electoral certificate which came up from Louisiana, and on which certificate the vote of that state was awarded to Hayes. AN IMPoRTATT POINT SETTLED.—In_ the vase of the United States against the Union ie Railroad company, to recover 5 per cent. on the net earnings of the road, which suit has been pending for several years, the Court of Claims has rendered a judgment in favor of the government, for 1,3 . from which was deducted $595,627, due the govern- ment to the company. The court decided that the road was completed July, 1869; that the liability of the company to the govern. ment began at that date, and that interest on the bonded dent should not be deducted from the gross earnings before net earaings are de- j tehnulued, eulture ot the | is making | | tion Jas. tronin, OF nied to Gen.

TUE ANDERSON-WEBER AFFIDAVIT. It wil be remembered that Anderson testi- fied that the document exhibited to him as the affidavit that he had given to Mr. Matthew was a counterfeit of the original. Wm. H. Seymour, the notary public before whom ‘the ailidavit executed, was examined, and he testified that the paper exhibited was the original, and that his signature and seal were genuine. He was sequainted ith Anderson, and he remembeied that Anderson signed the affidavit. There was a man with him who introduced as Weber, but Mr. Seymour not acquainted with Weber, and could notsay whether it was Weber or some one who pei sonated him. Mr, Seymour could not remem- ber whether the affiants affixed their signa- tures in his Pr nee or not. . H. A. Wilder, one of the attesting witnesses, was also examined. He acknowledgd tha his signature was genuine. He Knew Andei son, but did not know Weber. VAYMASTER SMITH. Thomas C,H.

THE QUESTION OF APJOURNMENT.—Nodoudt is entertained among members of Congress that an adjourumene will be had at the time fixed—next Monday noon. It is expeeted that the House will finish consideration of the sun- dry civil appropriation bill to-day. The legis. lative, executive and Judiciary appropriation bill will be reported from conference to-mor- row. The army. bill is the only measure in conference that is yet entirely unsettled. Only one meeting of the conference committze on this bill has been held, but another meeting is called for to-night. The Senate has 175 bills on the calendar, ineluding those to. whieh ob- Jection has been made, and which will not be considered at the present session. GONE TO JOIN SittinG BULL.—There has been received at the War department a com- munication from Major Guido Iges, dated at Fort Benton, Montana, which says that while at Belknap he endeavored to ascertain the facts in relation to expected movements of hostile Indians across the line into Canada. He was unable to find a single Gros Ventres or Assinaboin Indian, and could not ascer- tain with any degree of certainty their where- abouts. He is convinced that these two tribes have gone across the line for no good purpo.e. He thinks their absence all the more signifi- cant, from the fact that they have been ea tioned not to cross the line. He says that news reached him yesterday that the came. ot Sitting Bulihas had its war dance en" Me dium Lodge,” and that many Indians of vari- ous tribes Were assembled on the oceasion. He be ged the sending of a reliable maa on the risky mission of «scertaining the pur. poses of the Indians.

Mr. Matthews was prssant atthe assembling of the committee to- lay. No representatives of the press, except an agent of the Associated Press, are to be al- lowed in the room.

The financial question having been disposed of, further agitation of the matter is deprecated as being devoid of other than evil result. The disposition by conservative men in the south to oppose the revolutionary methods of northern democrats is received as a promising omen, and the republicans of Ohio cordially greet such citizens of the south as adhere in Brod faith to the terms upon which the issues of the war were settle. Free Lee and a free ballot are demanded. A tariff for revenue is advocated. and liberal appropriatiens to carry on work on the govern- ment public bud ings is urged asa relief for depressed labor, The ‘revolutionary move- ment” inaugurated under cover of an investi- gation, but “really an attack upon the Pre: lent’s title,” is considered as calculated to ex- cite distrust and prostrate our industries. President Hayes having been duly elected, and his title subsequently settled under the constitution, it cannot now be questioned, and the Ohio republicans recognize in his ad- ministration the highest integrity and patriot- ism, the most sincere efforts to promote politi- cal purity and harmony, and secure general Business Prosperity throughout the’ whole country. SERIOUS LABOR RIOTS IN _QUEBEC.—The disturbances that commenced ‘in Quebee on Tuesday were contiwued yesterday by the striking workmen, and emboldened bythe fact that their outrages had not been met by the in- terference of the police, they yesterday plun- dered a flour store and forced truckmen to carry away their plunder. In this way two hundred barrels of flour were stolen. Finally the military were called into requisition, and after a severe fight the rioters were dispersed. Many on both sides are reported as wouad>d. THE TuREE-Tuirty RAcE at Wilmington, Del., yesterday, was won by Little Frank: Best time 2:53.

Shafter, U.S. army, with a strong foree crossed over into Mexico in pursuit of raiders. About forty miles above fagle Pass that night they were obliged to recross to Texas soil, and immediately tele- graphed for reinforecments. Twenty com- panies of cavalry have been sent to reinforce | them, together with the sections of artillery, which left San Antonio a short time BO con. sisting of two Gatling guns and two rifled can- non. It is believed at Fort Clark that this entire force together with Makenzie and Shafter haye recrossed into Mexico before thistime. The troops have nfteen days rations, a heavy train, and two well known and ex: perienced guides, one a Mexican and one a White man. From the character which Gen. Makenzie has established wen a long and brilliant military career it is safe to say there will be no foolishness indulged in this time, and news of the most exciting character is expected.

From a thousand treams of intellectual intluence you have gathered into your miuds the power of thought and action which you are hereatter to turn on the great problems of human iuquir If you have ne «duced to your possession the pri Which the choice and master spi time have bequeathed to you, you hav. st learned where it is deposited and how it y be had for the due and diligent seek- g. Hf, indeed, your minds have been imbued with the broa d liberal culture of the true scholar, you haye been naturalized into the cit- izenship of the world—as with all the rights of that citizenship with all its duties. Realizing, as you must do, that the best part of the mental fife-blood which courses through your veins is that which you derive by virtue of your organic connection and vital sympathy with the great thinkers, scholars, and write.s of the former ages, you are henceforth to show that re have drunk into their spirit bs thinking thoughts and doing deeds which shall be porty, of i high intellectual lineage.

In the still air of quiet studies, on yonder col- lege eminence, you ought to have learned to clarify your minds from the delusions of iz. norancée and from the Breludices of ascaut and narrow training. to you the sign of the Macrocosm has been revealed, as it was revealed in mystic vision to the eyes of Faust, let us hope that you have learned to read it with reverence and with humility, that so when, like Faust, you shall turn your eyes from these high contemplations to scan the sign 6f the earth, you may address yourselves to the daily duties of your terrestrial tife, not with the iron leer of Mephistopheles scowliaz over your shoulders, but with a calm serenity diawh from fellowship with the saints as weil as the sages of human story. Daring the period of your long novitiate you have been rather the iecipients than the dis pene of intellectual benefits.
