THE INTER-OcRaNic Canal INQuIRy. — The select Committee of the House on tnter-oceante ship canal held a short session this morning and consumed the time till the hour of adjourn- Ment in discussion, without arriving at any conclusion. It was developed that a majority of the committee favor the ship railroad s of Capt. Eads, though a wide divergence of opinion seems to exist as to the precis:- manner in which the government shall be aske-1 to lend | its countenance and endorsement. The -ommit- tee adjourned Ull Saturday, when it 1s oelteved @ vote will be reached upon a deflalte proposi- fon touching the Eads scheme, as opposed to either of the proposed canals. THe ELECTORAL COUNT RESOLUTION.—The In- dications now are that the republicans wil! not oppose the resolution in relation to the elec- toral count, reported to the Seuate yesterday. The same resolutions bave been used upon several dffferent occasions to avold a partisan contest over the count, and no Lew ground upon which to oppose them can now be dis- covered. Immediately after these resolutions shall bave been disposed of Senator Morgan tn tends to call up bis resolution, declaring In the most specific terms, that the’ president of the Senate bas no judicial power in the count: that lis functions are purely ministertal. ‘There will be a Warm fcht over the resolution, and as the gemocrats propose to “sit It out” by continuing the session until action fs taken there ts proba bility of another lively night session.

Mr. Morgan called attention to the near ap- proach of the time for counting the vote and the necessity of adopting a ruie for it He Spoke of the irregularity in the vote of the state of Georgia and thought the country was to be congratulated upon Une fact that that was the only cause for any controversy. He was will- ing to admit that Garfield and Arthur had been elected, and he would not place the slightest obstacle tn the way of peacefully and qilelly counting them In. Mr. Edmuuds expressed his willingness to accept the proposed method of proceeding with the count. He was willing to accept this method after rejecting and denouncing all ta- ferences or implications for or against the power of anybody to decide any disputed quea- Uen that casufst ry might invent or discover in the labguage of the resolutions. Tt was a plan to proceed with the count without settling aay disputed question. He moved to changa the meeting of the joint assembly from the fall of the House of Representatives to the Seuate chamber. In carrying the votes of the states an eighth of amile, from the Senate to the Hiouse, some accident might sometime occur or some disturbance might be raised for the pur- pose of dispolling the President of the Senate of the votes, and such a loss would cause great trouble. He made this motion without any reference to any point of law, but as a matter of safety. He tnsisted that the Sevate chainver ts large enough to aecommo- duie the members of Doth houses. The only argument ever advanced in favor of the Mouse Was one of physical convenience. The ac- ceptance of the resolutions, with the declatmer or reservation, in effect that they shall not be construed to imply anything, one way or the olher, as to the power of the President of the Senate over the counts, was agreed upon at a meeting Of the repubiican caucus committee this morning. ‘The committee examined the resolutions critically. Senator Thurman said that for seventy years the votes had been counted tn the hail of the House, ad tie hoped that the precedent would be followed, and that Mr. Edmund's motioa would be voted down, Mr. Hoar mafitatned that the plan proposed does not contemplate a count of the vote: that, it simply means to an election witout acount. The consittution ts mandatory tn Its Tequirement that “the votes shall then be counted.” Under this resolution there will be rlal count and nobody will ever know, officially, how inany votes Gariicld got. Mr. Thurman said the plan proposed was the one that had been almost Invariably adopted. | Mr. Hoar called the resolations a “make- shift,” but sald 1U might do in the existing state of the parties. Messrs. Thurman, Garland and others spoke in support Of the resolutions. Mr. Garland was not willing to say the vote of Georgia shouid not be counted. He was not, Willing to declare that a state should be dis- franchised because the vote was not cast on the day prescribed by Congress, whetuer that delay grew out of negilgence, Ignorance or corrup- ton. Mr. Thurman thought the vote of Georgia should not be counted. Mr. Ingalls thought this was no time to settle questions that had been controverted for years. He was grateful to the committee for having submitted resolutions that opened the way out of difficulty, and that coincided with his (In- Rails’) views. Mr. Ingalls favored Mr. Edmuuds’ motion tomake the Senate chamber the place of meeting, 1ustead of the House. He said he Was a teller In 1Si;, and in connection with that dark period, he would relate a plece of secret history. He and others recelved notice that while passing the corridor with the electoral Votes In 1s77 the Sergeant-at-Arms would be at- tacked and the votes taken from him. Precau- tons Were taken to prevent the scheme. Mr. Hill, of Georgia, sald that no man in the United States dispuled the election of Garteld and Arthur. What Mr. Eads says.

An amendment to increase the anont, for the repairs of county roads from $i0,00) to $20,000 was offered by General Hunton Mr. Neal argued that 1t would be economy to adopt the amendment, because the engineer officer had declared $10,000 Was nO: enough to keep them in repair. Mr. Cobd complimented Major Twintng as an excellent and competent officer, and said or.il- narily he would vote to adopt ‘any saggestion he might offer onthe matter of the county roads. He differed, however, with Major Twin- ing. AS an officer he wa3 proud of Major T«in- ing, and he was glad to say that all the infor- mation he had touening District matters he waa acquired from Major Twining. Mr, Neal.—In all your intercou with Twining did you ever fund him an ady extravagant expenditures: Mr. Cobb.—I have not. We differ though in Judgment as to the county roads. Mr. Neal.—Then I hope the committee will take Maj. Twining’s judzment tn preference to the gentleman from Indiana. Mr. Hunton satd the Secretary of the Trea3- ury approved the amendment, at least he had not cut down the Commissioners estimate. The appropriation committee nad cut dowa the estimates for street work and he was trying To get some of It b; ‘The amendment was defeated. Mr. Ward offered an amendment inereasing the appropriation for lighting the street lamps from $25 to $25 per lamp, Gen. Hunton said bimselt and Mr. Neal naa gole over this question and had come tothe Conclusion that $25 per lamp was too low. Mr. Hunton said there were 4,000 lamps tn the Dis- d they were Nt 2,209 hours in each 1 Mr. Cobb said the fixtng of the price at #25 per Jamp was done upon the recommendation Of the Si cretary of tne Treasury. Mr. Neal defended the gas company from some Charges made agatast it by Mr. Coop, contending that the price of gas Was not ex- orbitant. Mr. Page opposed the amendment, and ex- Pressed hits surprise that the gentleman from Ghio (Mr. Neal) should appear a3 an advocate for a great monopol He had never known as great an extortion perpetrated on any people us the Washington gas company perpetrated on the people of the District. Aiter further discussion, the amendment was rejected. On motion of Mr. Aldrich, an amendment was adopted providing that no contract snail be ea- tered into for gas or apy other illuminating ma- terial for more than one year, Mr. Samford raised a point of order against the section providing for the erection of a high | School on square 446, Alter along debate, the Chair sustained the point of order, but ubon an appeal the com- mittee overruled the decision of the Chatr—is to 101, Mr. Hunton offered an amendment striking out the clauses appropriating $170,000 for the erection of school buildings, including a higa school, and inserting 1m leu thereof a proviso authorizing the Cominissloners to sell the 3 bonds which are held in trust_ as a school fund, amounting to $70,000, and to apply the proceeds for the erection of the school butidings on sires and according to plans provided by the board Of school trustees. A discussion arose as to the advisability of erecting a school house upon square 44s. Messrs. Henkle, Hunton and Klotz contended that’ that square should be reserved for Market purposes, while Messrs. Cobb and Le argued that the school ought to be erected there, Mr. Klotz intimated that the persons who were urging the erection of a school on square 446 were those who had interest in o.ner mar- kets in the city. ‘Mr. Neal replied that. the persons who were opposing that proposition were men wao dog- gea the committee on the District of Columbia, asking Congress to give pubiic property tor private purpus Mr. Huntoi amendment was finally re- Jected--46 to s—no quorum.

The coiored cook, a girl about twenty-three years old, was sus pected of the horrid deed because, though soe pretended to be taken sick with the others, an | examination by the doctor showed that sne was shamming !lness, and that she had no symp- toms whatever of having taken any poison. Yer as she had been kindly treated by the family from her chtidhood they were loth to adopt any harsh measures to her on the suspicion, stronz as 1twas, that she could have been «fullty of such an atrocious attempt upon their lives. On Friday night last, however, she committed adeed that showed her desperate nature con- clusively. During the night a colored maa heard acry inthe roomof this girl that sug- gested something wrong there, but she stoutly dexied the occurrence of anything of the kind. On search being made the body of a new born child was found concealed In a box in her room, and examination showed that it had been choked to death. The coroner's inquest decided that she Killed the child. SOCIETY NOTES. .

Message from the President. ‘The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President, transmitting the report of the cominission appotuted to ascertain the facts relative to the removal of the Ponca tribe {of Indians to the Iudlan terrttory, and Inquire {nto its present condition: and also a Geclaration made by the chiefs of that tribe, setting forth the compensation which they will accept for their lands, and for the Injuries done to the tribe by Its removal to the Indian terri tory. After quoting trom reports of the Secretary of the Interior, Agent E. A. Howard and tne Senate committee, on the subject, the President says: The report of the commission appointed by me, and the testimony taken by them, add very Httle to what was already Contained in the official reports of the Seeretary of the Ia- terior, and the report of the Sonate committee touching the ijustice done to the Ponca Indlan by thelr remove to the Indian territory. Happily, boweve: the evidence reported by the commission ani thelr recommendations point ont conclusively the true measure of redress, which the govern ment of the United States ought now to adopt. ‘The commission, in i{s conclusions, omit to Slate the important fact as to tie present con dition of the Poncas in the Indian territory but the evidence they have reported shows arly and conclusively that the Poneas now iding 1D that territory—521 in numbe-—ar> satlstied with their new home: that they ar+ healthy, comfortabie and contented, and that they are treely and firmly decided to adhere to the chcice announced in the letter of Octoner h, 1550, and the declaration of Decembe to rematn in the Indlan territory ani eturn to Dakota territory. ‘The evide ported also shows that the frayment of th Ponca tribe—perhaps 150 In numoer—which | stil in Dakota and Nebraska, pret remain on thetr old reservation. “In vie these facts, I am confident that the recomme dation of the commission, toxether with th declaration of the chiefs cf December last, if substantially followed, wi!l afford a solution oF the Ponca question which 1s consistent with the wishes and interests of both branches ot Lhe tribe, with the settled Indian policy of the government, and as nearly as practicable with Ube demands of justice. Our general Indian licy for the future should embrace the fol lowing ideas: Ist. The fudians should be pre- pared for ciuzenship by giving to their youns of both sexes that industrial and general edu- cation which 1s requisite to enable them to be self-supporting and capable of self-proteciion in civilized communities. zd. Lands should be allotted to Indians in sever- alty, Imallenable for a certain period. ‘The Indians should have a fair compensa- n for their lands not required for individual allotments, the amount to be invested with suitable safeguards for their benef. 4th, With these prerequisites secured, the Indians should be made citizens and Invested with the rights, and charged with the responsibilities of citizen- ship. It istherefore recommended that legisla- Uon be adopted in regard to the Ponca Indian: authorizing the Secretary of tne Interior t secure tothe individual members of the Ponca tribe in severaity suficient land for their sup. port, inalienable for a term of years, or until ‘he restriction on alienation may be removed by the President. Araple time and opportinity sball be given to the members of the tribe freely to choose their ailot- ments, either on their new or old reservations. Full compensation should be made for lands to be relinquished, and for losses two them by Sioux depredations, and by reason of their removal to the Indian territory, the amouut not to be less than the sum named In the declaration of the chiefs made on Decem- ber 27, 1ss0. In short nothing should be lett undone to show to the Indians that (he govern- ment of the United States regaras their rigats as equally sacred with those oF its eltizons. The time bas come when the policy should be to place the Indians, as rapidly as practicable, 0: the same footing with the other permanent in- Dabitants of this country. I do not undertake to apportion the blame for the injustice done to the Poncas. Whether the executive or Con gress or the public ts chiefly in fault ts not now @ question of practical importance. AS the chief executive at the time when the wronz was consummated, I am deeply sensible that enough of the responsibility for that wrong Justly attaches to me te make it my personal duty and earnest desire to do all I Can to g: to these Indian people that measure of redres which fs required alike by justice and by hu manity.

The American Express company, which had several safes tn the fire at the recent raflroad disaster at Tioga, New York, have sent them the Treasury deparsment. The company dia hot open the safes, as they contained among other things paper money, that if burnt would be destroyed beyond all Hope of redemption if carelessly handled. The safes have been opened in the basement of the Treasury, A full force of experts from the redemption division of the ‘Treasurers office is at work pleking out and idenUrying their contents. In the burnt mass were found jewelry, including a lot of diamonds and wa ches; gold and silver coin, jegal-tender notes, national bank notes, government cou- pons ‘ard ratiread bonds.’ The cotm, which has been melted tn all manner of shapes, will have to go the mint as builton. The jewelry, except the diamonds. Is wortuless, but with the Treasury has nothing to do. The burnt ivgal-tender notes are betng separated and wiih great skill by the uid of sharp thin knives. Already the express company ts safe in getting back at least $1,000 of the legal-ter- Ger notes. ‘The notes were a black mass, with slight crevices on the sides showing the separa- tion of note from nol The scaly and britt e remalns were separated with great care. The | experts, by €xamination, were enabled to tden- | Ury the notes, humber and all. They will be replaced to the company by new notes, The Work on the legal tenders 18 not yet over. The bank notes have not been touched as yet for igentilicaiion. One young lady is busy on the coupons, abd has identitied a number of 4 per cent. coupons, representing $500 each, and 4 Fer cent. coupons, representing $11.:5 each, hese will also be redeemed. The ratlroad bonds, of course, are not redeemable by the government, but they will be identified. Toe bapk notes, when identified will be redeemed. Such is the ‘expertness with which apparently nothing but black brittle masses are handled that it is very likely that every note, coupon, and bond that was burnt will be separated ana identified.
