THE UNION DEPOT QUESTION. Senator Whyte to-day reported to the Senate from the District committee, a bill directing the District Commissioners to Inquire into the mat- ter of locating a union depot, and to report to the committee their conclusions as to the besi site, together with an estimate of the cost and all details. “Also, to report a plan for locating two separate depots—one for each of the rail- yeads—one in the northern and one In the southern part of the city, together with esti- mates of cost, ete. The bill was agreed upon in committee last week. The tdea of this bill is that the Commissioners shall confer with the railroad companies, with the view of reaching some pion fora unfon depot or depots that will be acceptable to all interests. The committee require that the interests of the citizens and or property shall be observed, and that the vested rights of the railroads shall be borne In mlad. No? ENTHUSED FOR PayNE.—The rumor that Tilden contemplated making ex-Congressman Payne, of Cleveland, Ohio, his political legatee, does not awaken much enthuslasm among the democrats, The southern men say that Payne is not popularly known in their section. while the western democrats say that his nomination would prove as distasteful in the west a3 would the nomination of Senatur Bayard. The Ohio democrats say that Payne not only refused to contribute to the Ewing campaign fund in Ohio, but that his two sons voted fur Foster. ‘The horny-handcd ¢ TS say that Payne won't do, because he is prominently connected with several corporations which the laboring men look upon with distrust, notably the Standard Ol Company. The semi-official announcement made in be- half of Gov. Tilden by the New York Snn that he would not favor a candidate who was tn any. wise connected with the electoral commission of 1876 is thus explained, so far as Payne, who Was a member of that commission is concerned. It is said that after the commissioners voted on the Florida case and refused to. behind the returns, that Payne urged his democraite col- leagues on the commission to withdraw and 1 the election of Gov. Hayes be conceded by de- fault, rather than to remain and give color of sent to declaring Hayes elec! President ich he claimed would be the result of the commisston’s findings. It is further sald that Judges Field and Clifford advocated this course, but the remaining democratic members of the House would not adopt such a course. It is now said that Tilden favors Payne because of the action he took while a member of that celebrated commission. Gov. YOUNG, M. C., of Ohio, is now In South Carolina, and will remain there until afier the republican convention is held in that state, next Wednesday. Atter the South Carolina conven- tion does its work, the governor will attend the Alabama and Florida conventions. Gov, Y, is an energetic Sherman mai ‘THE TILDEN DEMOCRATS in Congress say that the plan now agreed upon for the Pennsylvania democratic convention which ts to be held in eo next Wednesday, is not to have the delegates Instructed at all, but to have stirring “fraud” resolutions adopted, which it is thought will give the convention « strong Tilden flavor. NoOMINATIONS.—The President this atternoon sent to the Senate the nomination of Peter P. Smith, of Honesdale, to be supervisor of census for 5th district of Pennsylvat also, a number of postinasters. THE GEORGIA REPUBLICAN DELEGATION.—A prominent republican trom Georgia, who was one of the delegates to the late Georgta repubii- can cenvention, to-day told a Srak reporter that the delegates chosen by the conventjon to go to Chicago positively stand as follows: 11 for Sherman, 9 for Blaine and? forGrant. All state- ments giving other than these figures are, he Says, both incorrect and false. In answer to the juery if the convention didn’t have a lively Ume he said it had “a h—l of a time.” PROTECTION OF AMERICAN FISHERMEN IN CANA- to re-enact the same in an amended form. By Mr. Cameron (Pa.) forthe relief of certain labor- ers on government works. Mr. Whyte, from the committee on the Dis trict of Columbia, reported favorably on House bill authorizing the Commissioners of the Dis- trict to recommend a proper site for a Union railroad depot in Washington. Placed on the calendar, a Mr, Teller submitted a resoiution that whereas it has been reported that the Secretary of the Interior proposes to take a number of children of the Cheyenne Indians, without first having obtained the consent of their parents, for the purpose of educating them at Hampton, Va., or Carlisle, Pa.; therfore, be it resolved, that the corminittee On Indian ‘affairs be Instructed to Inquire into the truth of said report, and al inquire whether any Indian children now 4 ool at a distance from their parents taken from their parents without their consent, and report to the Senate whether any legisla” Uon is required to protect the Indians in the possession of their children. in explanation of ihe resolution Mr. ‘Teller sent to the clerk’s « and had read a letter from Chicago tn the N.Y. Ties of last Friday regarding the d removal of Indian eblidren.” The reso- as adopted. Phunb submitted a resoltion requesting the President to ¢ micate to the Senate a copy of dispatch of April 25, 1879, from the U. 8. minister to Mexico, upon the subject ot commercial retations with that country. Adopted, ‘The Sepate proceeded to consider the calen- day, the first being that authorizing a re- tired list for non-commissioned officers of the arm, Mr. Allison offered an amendment, that in ad- dition to the number of cadets at the West demy now authorized by law the halleach year appoint two colored cadets at large. Mr. Maxey raised the point of order that the amendment was not germane to the bill. He also said that the President now has power to appoint ten cadets at large, and they may all be colored if he chooses, Mr. Allison replied that under a law passed Jast year it isimpossible for the President to appoint any cadets for some three years to come, unless this amendment was adopted. Maxey said the amendment would be ap- propriate in the West Potnt bill It had no- thing to do with this bill. Mr. Allison said the West Point bill had been already passed. This was a provision of law, and could be amended. Mr. Uamlin asked that the Senator from Iowa Would withdraw his amendment, because it Was not appropriate to the present bill. THIOUSE.—Under the call of states the follow- ing bills were introduced and referred: By Mr. Pacheco—To donate certain lands In California for school purposes. By Mr. Cox (N. Y.)—Au thorizing the National Academy of Science to receive and hold trust funds for the promotion of science.
