Ur.—At twenty min- utes of two o'clock to-day, the House went into committee of the whole on the legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial appropriation bill; Mr. Blackburn in’ the chair. Debate was lintted to five minute speeches until the clauses per- taining to poilticai legislation are reached, when an arrangement for general debate will be made satisfactory to both sides. When Mr. Bisckburn took the chair, he said that he would refuse to recognize any list of speeches mnade up before he was selected as chairman of the committee, but only such a one as was | made up afterwards; whereupon upwards of fifty members rushed at once to the Clerk’s desk to get their names down, creating such confusion that, the Sergeant-at-Arms was dl- rected to tell them to take theirseats.

Collins mayor by between 600 and 1,200 majority and the balance of the ticket by similar figures. They have also elecied sufficient members to make the city council republican by tive ma. jority.

The strong suspicion of the Sedgwick street neighborhood, where they lived, has been that they were poisoned by Dr. H. Meyer and Mrs. Gelderman, husband and wife, respectively, of deceased. ‘The doctor and his alleged paramour were arrested some time ago, but released on a habeas corpus to awalt the result of an analysis for poison. ‘To-night the coroner's jury, after deliberating about half an hour, held them both, without bail, for | mureer. It was shown in the testimony that eighteen to twenty ounces of chloroform had been administered to Mrs. Meyer and Gel- derman on their dying beds. “Dr. Haines and Professor Seibel, who made a chemical analysis of their stomachs, found poison in large quantities. In Mrs. Meyer's stomach Was found a third of a fans of colchicine, or English saffron, a very deadly poison, which is litule known, seldom used, and hard to trace in the human system. In Gelderman’s stomaca was found at least one grain of strychnine. It is said that in their young days Dr. Meyer was a beau of Mrs. Gelderman, and kept up the in- Umacy with her after marriage. They were unger restraint, however, until her husband and his wife were out of the way. Scarcely had the graves closed when the two old lovers began such familiarity as to attract the atten- tion and suspicion of the neighbors. ‘no doctor visited her frequently, took her drivinz and to the opera, and it was noticed that often | mi! when he entered her residence the blinds would be immediately drawn. The case has excited great interest, especially among Germans on the North Side. = ad THE PAYMENT OF THE GREELEY LOANS—Cor- nelius Vanderbilt Pays His Own Debts.—It seems the New York Times was inistaken in announc- ing that Mr. Wm. H. Vanderbilt on Saturday last paid the daughters of the late Horace Gree- ley the large amount due them by his brotlier, Cornellus J. Vanderbtit, and borrowed from the veteran journalist during his lifetime. ‘The debt was cancelled on Saturday, however, by Cornelius J. Vanderbilt himself, who paid Mr. Greeley’s daughters $61,000, being the Drinc:pal and interest of his indebtedness to the Greeiey estate, a8 $10,060 had been previously pald to these ladies in 1873 by Commodore Vanderbilf, Making the whole sum paid ooo, In Satur- day’s settlement two notes of $5,000 each wera given by Mr. Vanderbilt, but as Col. Smith, Mr. Greeley's son-in-law, seemed dissatisfied, Mr. Vanderbilt announced his purpose to pay ths notes off yesterday, thus saving tle seven per cent. interest which the notes were to draw. Besides this €61,000 it 1s understood that Corne- ltus J. Vanderbilt has recently paid some $15,000 of other debts. Under his father’s will Mr. Van- cerbilt was given only the income upon $290,000 in United States bonds. The suit against Mr. Wm. H. Vanderbilt, recently withdrawn, was for $1,000,000. It 13 said that as soon as this suit was settled Cornelius Vanderbilt sougnt Mr. Greeley’s pane teas with a view of settling his long-standing indebtedness, AN AWFUL MysTERy.—A special dispatch from Lawrence, Ks., April 3, says:—Mr. Samuel Walker arrived here this morning with the dy of John W. Hillman for identification. who, it is claimed was accidentally shot with a carbine in the hands of Jake Brown, Wyandotte. At the time of the shooting Hillman and Brown were in camp about twelve miles south of Medi- ; cine e, Hillman was building a fire. Brown claims he had ines the carbine against the wagon, and while attempting to re- move it, it became entangled in the beddiug and Was discharged, the ball passing in at one ear and equarely through the head. Brown looked and saw Hillman si ring and death was almost instantaneous. He carried the body to Medicine Ledge, and, after a coroner’s inquest, it was buried. Hiliman was herding cattle and Was supposed to bea man of limited means. Ilis life was insured for $25,000 in the New York Mutual, New York Life and Connecticut Mu- tual. Tiiliman’s wife {s here. She seem rather complacent, exlibits no desire to see the body: and cannot be prevailed upon todo so, Waile it resembies that of Hillman in some points, it can not be identified. It 1s suspected that some one has been murdered who resembies Hillman in order to secure this insurance, An inquest isto be beld which may throw more light o2 this singular affair.

He did not desire debate the bill, but offered 1t for the sake of and the promotion of good reeling among uupiry men. Mr, Edmunds said he was not aware that the Senate bad passed a bill to repeal section 1.521. If the Senator's bill should go to a committee a substitute for that section might be framed salisfactory to everybody, uhus escaping the evils which the Seuator thought migat arise should the law stand. Section 1,820, however, Was repealed by both houses in 1876, but some- how it afterwaids fcund its way into the re vised statutes. The Senate had since that time assed an act again to repeal that section, Dué twas not acted upon by the House. ‘The Dill was referred to the committee on the Judiciary, the cbjection of Mr. Edmunds having prevented its immediate consideration. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the New Hampshire Senatorial election qves- Jo ‘srs. Garland and Wallace opposed the ad- ‘sion of the Hon. Charles H. Bell to a seat to the Senate; arguing that the governor had no right to make an appointment to fil! the va- eancy, Uhat duty devolving on the legislature alone, Mr. Carpenter congratulated the Senate that this quesuion was to be decided on its merits, ard not on partisen grounds. He then gave his views on the pending question, argutag against the admission of Mr. Bell, there being no such vacancy &s the governor could fll.

Buckner offered a resolution, amending the rules of the House, so as to set apart Saturday cf each week for the considera- Ucn Of bills in committee of the whole, other than gencral appropriation bills. Referred to Comnattce on rules, Mr. Fiye said that a few days ago he had quetea fiom the Okal-ma States and the gen- Ueman from Mississtppi (Muldrow) had stated that that paper represented no responsib'e element of the democracy of Mississtppl. He had received a letter from the editors of that parer enclesing an extract from that paper of August sth, 1838, which endorsed Henry L. Muldrow_as Representative from the ist dts- trict of Mississippi. He had nothing more to gay on the subject. Mr. Alkius rose to move to go into committee Gee whole on tie legislative appropriation Pending which, Mr. McLane moved that the chairman of committee of whole be instructed to award the floor, in accordance with the rules of the House, and not to be bound absolutely by any list of speakers which may be formed. In the course of debate, Mr. ONeill stated that he had always found wished to K, he could generally obtain an opportunity, and in support of his statement, he managed to get ina few remarks, denyi that in republican Philadelphia any man hat ever been deprived of his right to vote. Mr. Hooker, in supporting Mr. McLane’s mo- tion, that session after session he had seen the power of the House centralized in a few great committees, and he was tired of it. Mr. Kelley (in answer,.to a nny eee by Mr. Price that the 5 hes on the lezislative bill should be limited to 20 minutes each) said that he hoped there would be ful debate, so that the country would see that members were not pre- ete d for a coming revolution, or to take part In its suppression, and might be restored t) a sound condition. It was evident that the ma- jority on both sides were determined that there should be no Monday to inttiate legtslation; in fact, that legisiation was to be coniined to the two appropriation bills. Now let thé Hous® fight it out, and let the country know how thor- oughly Pickwickian the cry of revolution and revolt was. [Applause on the democratic side. | Finally, the whole subject matter was re- ferred to committee or rules, Mr. Muldrow rising to a question of pexson7} privilege, said that the gentleman from Maine (Frye) had quoted him as saying a few days azo that the editor of the Ocalona States represented. no respectable element of Mississippi democ- racy. hat he had said was that the paper did not represent the sentiments of the democ- racy of Misssissippi. Col. Harper, the editor, was looked upon a8 an extremest in politics, and his paper was no proper exponent of Mis- Sissipp! democracy. Mr. King offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Navy for information in regard to the breaking out of yellow fever on the Ply- mcuth, and what sanitary measures had been taken to prevent its spread. Adopted. Mr. Atkins moved to go into committee of the whole on the legislative bili. Hestated that he had introduced the bill on the basis of the con- ference report at the last Congress, as nearly as possible. The entire money portion of the bill hed not been agreed to by the conference committee, but very nearly so all of it hada. In regard to those portions upon: which the committee on conference had not agreed, the present bill conformed to the bill as it had passed the House at the last Congress. He did not attempt to apply. the gag to the House in the matter of debate, but he would su: that the money portion of the bill should be considered under the five minute rule, and that, the general debate should be reserved for the political portion of the bill. -. 5) wae ante to, and ee 4 louse, at 1:40, wel committees of! whole (Mr. Blackburn tn the chair) on the legis- lative appropriation bill.
