Crain, of New York, at Mil: TIGATION—The Telegrams enate committee of privileges and elections yesterday resumed consideration | of the Ingalls case. Mr. E. L. Smith, the West- ern Union tetegraph manager at Topeka, Kan. appeared before the committee, and in accor amce with instructions from ‘the company’s officials expressed his willingness to and did | | Surrender the dispatches called for in the order as modified by the committee at tts last meet- ing. The dispatches surrendered by Mr. Smith re those which were sent from and received at ‘opeka, by certair persons named In the order, and which relate only to the Senatorial election in Kansas. Mr. Smith was accom- panied by Mr. John L. Thompson, the com- pany’s counsel, who filed a protest against the right of the committee to any dispatches, and particularly such as are not shown to be mate- rial to the subject under investigation. The protest stated that none of the dispatches sur- rendered to the committee related to bribery or corruption, with the possible exception of one or two, and that these did not appear to refer to bribery—they were simply unintelligible. Mr. Scien aie Stated that the telegraph com- pany yielded to the demand of the committee, as modified at their last meeting—because they were unwilling to subject their man- ager to imprisonment and the indictment. and punishment provided by act of Con- gress, in eases where witnesses refuse to testify before committees ot Congress.

THE Hovsk COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS discussed at some length this morning the re- The Situation in Maine. TALK AMONG THE POLITICIANS. e Not a single member of the Maine delegation in either branch of Congress is in Washington, all being detained at Augusta, watching the movements of their respective parties attending the assembly of the Maine legislature. Just now the situation in Maine affords the principal topic of conversation among public men. The demo- crats, and even those who do not think that the will of the people should be subverted are loud in_ their se of Governor Garcelon, and concede at allevents that he has the nerve to uphold what be deems to_be his honest convic- tions of duty. Saidan Illinois democrat, “It is so refreshing to find a democratic official with nerve that I am ready to give Gov. Garcelon his full meed of praise regardless of the equities of the controversy. ‘The majority of the repub- Heans seem to be dazed over yesterday’s ae ceedings. They had anticipated that no matter how grave the situation had appeared in advance of the meeting of the legislature, that the usual democratic blunder would ensue, which would leave the republicans master of the situation. There is, too, from this long range a most decidéd opinion among republicans that Eugene Hale made a mistake in remaininy his seat with the fusionists, thereby enablin; them to organize the legislature with a legal quorum. It is held that inasmuch as the legis- lature was yesterday organized with a legal quorum, that it can now procced to do business whether Mr. Hale withdraws or not. and for this reason all deliberative bod ies do business often times without a quorum, so long as no member makes a point touching the absence of such quorum. Now it Mr. Hale remains there will be a quorum, but if he with- draws there will be no quorum. None of the fustonists will care to make that parliamentary point, and business can be proceeded with ac- cording. to the usage the same asifa quorum were actually present. There are others who say that Hale probably remained with the fusion- ists to lead a fillibustering movement to pre- vent the election of a governor; but, if so, those who criticise his action say that if he had re- mained away there would have been no orga ized legislature to transact any business wh: ever. ‘THE District Tax BiL.—Mr. Neal introduced in the House to-day the tax bill, the provisions of which have already been printed in Tue star. The bill was ordered to be printed and recommitted, and will come up for the action of the full committee to-morrow. EX-CONGRESSMAN JULIAN, of Indiana, made an argument to-day before the House committee on elections in favor of the claim of Ignatius Donnelly to the seat In Congress now held by Mr. Washburn, of Minnesota. NOTHER EFFORT Was made to-day by Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, a member of the House committee on printing, to have the Glover report printed. Objection was made by Mr. Conger, and pending the discussion of the question, the morning hour expired and the mnatter Went ov ‘THERE WAS A CONSTELLATION OF Esti Gal. Ligurs in the United States Supreme Court room to-day. The case was an application by Vhe Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Company fora mandamus tocompel the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe railroad to surrender posses- sion of the right of way of the only approach to Leadville by rail, which the Supreme Court last May decided belonged to the Rio Grande road. Senator Conkling and Messrs. Shellabarger and Wilson, of this city, appeared for the Denver and Rio Grande road and ex-Attorney General Hoar and Sidney F. Bartlett_ appeared for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road. Corn IN FRANCE.—Mr. Bridgeland, U. S. con- sul at Havre, in his dispatch to the Department of State, dated December 11, 1879, transmits the annual report of the trade of that district. The receipts of Havre of American corn increased largely in 1878, but haye fallen off in a still larger ratio in 1879. This is owing to a want af proper care in the United States in preventing the use of false certificates of inspection. Many cargoes of corn have arrived in Havre from tae United States in very bad condition, tit only for fuel or manure. Importers thereby suffered joss and became disgusted with the trate. ‘Thus the efforts of the consul in 18i7-’S to in- troduce corn into France as food for man and beast, have been thwarted. The increase in the importations of American bacon and lard has been large. Protective duties on the arti- cles are su ed, and a commission has been appointed to investigate the sanitary qualities of American pork. ‘THE CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO THE UTES, sent to the Senate yesterday by the Secretary of the Interior, which was called for by the resolution of the Senate of December 8, 1879, shows that mining camps on the reservation have caused complaints, and that money which Would otherwise have been the Utes, has been withheld under the act of March 3, 1875, because of their refusal to embrace agricultural pursuits and as their removal from their present reserva- \ion at an early date was thought inevitable. ‘The only fresh matter of interest is the follow- ing statement telegraphed by Gen. Hateh to Secretary Schurz a few days ago, in response to the latter’s inquiry about the apparent mis- understanding in ard to the issuing of ra- Uons for the White River Utes. He says: “The understanding was clear with the Indians that when they turned over the prisoners they and their families were to be rationed during their absence. When the Utes made the agreement I certainly supposed it would be kept. It is the only one they have - broken with me.” Gen. Hateh also states in this dispatch that it was evident that the war spirit was increasing among the Indians when he left the agency, and for this reason he brought some chiefs with on i prevent any demonstration while he was absent. GEORGIA REPUBLICANS SAID TO BE FOR SHER- MAN.—Collector Thos. M, Blodgett, of St. Mary’s, Ga., isin the city. He says that the republi- cans of that state are for Sherman for President all the time, and that but few are Grant or Blaine men in that state. He believes that Sher- mau could do more towards carrying the state than any candidate the republicans could put up. He claims the Georgla delegates to the republican convention as certain for Sherman. SENATOR KERNAN to-day reintroduced an old bill that has been up before Congress once or twice, to enable northern creditors of persons who were in the rebellious states to file their claims before the Court of Claims. ‘THE FREEDMAN’S BANK IN Senate committee to investigate the Freedman’s Bank held a meeting to-day and agreed to begin the examination cf witnesses next Saturday. ‘There are very many witnesses to be examined, on ae officers and agents of the defunct bank and depositors and creditors.

Speaker Randall’s wife and daugh- ter also received numerous calls at their cosy home on Capitol Hill. Senator and Mrs. Randolph gave one of the most enjoyable of soirevs daxsantes yesterday. Their spacious residence on Massachusetts ave- nue was all thrown open to their invited guests. An awning covered the long distance from the entrance door to the street, so that there was a feeling of being welcomed trom the moment of arrival, and this increased as the hours passed on. The parlors were used for the reception and conversation,and the dining room given up to the dancers, So that there fvas no crowd, sro bh e supper, which was a most bountiful one, and consisted of many delicacies, was served on the second floor, Senator ndoiph himself making sure that every guest was supplied. Hie and his wife and daugher were assisted in entertaining by his son’s wife and Miss McClel- Jan and another young lady. The Greseiog at this party was exceptionally handsome. Mrs. Randolph wore a heavy ec; silk combined with narrow stri velvet- of the same shade, and black deep falls of Brussells lace trimmed the dress. Her ornaments were diamonds. Miss Randolph was becomingly dressed in pale blue silk. Mrs. James Randoiph wore her wedding dress of white satin and brocaded satin very handsomely trimmed. Miss McClellan wore a lovely white toilet garlanded with flowers. Baroness Blanc, who was with her husband, the Italian minister, wore a white silk striped with mauve satin, trimmed with rare lace. Numerous diamond ornaments glittered on the left side of the corsage, and on the other rested a bunch of miniature oranges and lemons with leaves. ‘Mme.

THE WAR EXCITEMENT IN EvROPE Seems to be increasing, and various leading journals are al- ready estimating the comparative strength of Germany and Russia. The apparent superior- ity given to the former by her numerous border railways would undoubtedly aid the concentra- tion of her forces, but the eof the Polish forests and swamps fs still as dificult. as Napo- Jeon found it in 1807, while the raising of the Poles against Russia is a mere vision. The Polish peasantry are really far better off under the Czar than under their own tyrannical “Panove,” (nobles,) as was am- ply shown by their standing aloot from the insurrectyon of 1863, which was wholly the work of the nobility and the priesthood. "Ger- many’s real advantages are, first. the fact of her chief ports, Stettin, Kénigsberg, Dantzic, Lubec, Rostock, &e., being not easily ass: by sea, while the Russion ports of Riga, Reval, Helsingfors and Viborg, are completely open: and, secondly, the superior intelligence of the ordinary German soldier, which enables him to act for himself in the most unexpected emer- gency, while the stolld and ignorant Russian, aceustomed to operate in mass, and to look for guidance to his officers, is absolutely helpless ik a es which demands individual action.— iN ¥. ai lable A BUFFALO PoLiTictaN INSANE.—(eo. Baitz, a well-known German politician of Buffalo, N. Y., isinsane. Until within a few months ago he was one of the three water commissioners, and, though he often made ae lively in the office, nothing was done until he made himseit so offensive to his associates that charges were preferred and he was removed by the mayor. Since that time he has amused himself by pub- Ushing scurrilous circulars, in which he merci- lessly attacked his old associates of the depart- ment. He has now become so violent that two able physicians have declared him insane, and his friends are awaiting an order from the county judge co take him’ to the Utica insane asylum. THE TRIAL OF REY. W. W. HAYDE! At New Haven, Conn., in the Hayden case sur-rebuttal testimony was introduced yesterday by the de- fense. Mrs. Hayden testified that Mary Stan- nard told her of her condition a month before her death. She had worked fora man whose wife had died, and she thought he might marry her, but he did not. Mary spoke of the error of cherishing such hopes, and said, pl: layfully:— “Now if you should die, do you think Mr. den would marry me?” Witness re] don’t, Mary.” Witness testified that on the Thursday after the murder they saw the body of Mary at Stannard’s house. Ben. Stevens was there, and uncovered the face of the deceased. ie was asked whether any weapon was found, and nee there was a club or oak stick a foot and a-half or two feet long, as big around as his wrist; there was blood and halr on it, and it looked as though it had been used to knock the girldown. This wasa direct contradiction of Stevens’ testimony. * A TALk WITH PRESIDENT PRADO—His Surprise As already announc- Tived in New Vouk Tuegday. hachee vert caetaan x ‘uesday, hav!
