He Was apprehensive. so it ts said, that Mr. Elmer’s appointment would raise the cry’ in political cir- cles that New York was trying to grab all the tm- portant public positions. “Aside from this was the claim of Indiana republicans that they were en- titled to the place; that they had turned the tide in the last presidential contest and had never been recoznized in proportion to the service they then rendered tothe party.

Two More CAsks OF SMALLPOX ON THE TEN- RFSSEE.—Two new cases of smallpox have broken out on the Tennessee since her arrival at Hamp- ton Rouds from New York. Secretary Hunt to- day telegraphed to Com. Hughes, commanding the navy yard at Norfolk, a8 follows: “Place tug at disposal of Tennessee, to convey when necessary the sick to hospital. Tug to be careful in communicating with the shore and other ves- sels. Tennessee to remain at Hainpton Roads until further orders, reporting daily the con- dition of the health of the ship’s company.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE POLICE COURT TO-DAY. ‘This afternoon the hearing in the cases of Cabell, Dickson and Minnix on the charge of conspiracy in putting in straw bonds with proposals for carry ing the mails was resumed. There were present Messrs. Bliss, Cook and Gibson, representing the government, and Messrs, Wilson, Hine, Totten and Browne for the defence. MR. BLISS OPENS THE ARGUMENT. The testimony being all in Mr. Bliss opened for the United States, stating that there was no dis- pute as to the facts. Cabell caused land in Mor- an county, Ky.,to be conveyed to Dickson and innix, and on’ this land they went surety on bonds rmounting to $1,900,000 and on contracts amounting to $18,000. ‘They held this property; Minnix till after he had gone on the bonas, and Dickson had not reconveyed to Cabell. This prop- erty was 57 acres, and the value was placed at $2.50 per acre. The Property was first conveyed to Donohue and by him to Minnix and Dickson. He (the speaker) did not propose to discuss whether the parties met and arranged for this business. Messrs. Dickson and Minnix say that they did not intend to commit a fraud; but it was a question for the jury to decide on the facts. The government claimed that there was no doubt but a crime had been committed, and that the natural Tesult of their acts would be a loss to the govern- ment. They also claimed that the affidavits showed that the accused parties were guilty of perjury, The bond given was not only till the contract was signed. In the circuit court of the U. 8. for the eastern district of Per ‘Ivania. it had been decided Reet Nec cid that the government could elect which bo! to hold re- sponsible—the bonds on the bids or the bids on the contracts. He sald that some of these contracts will not expire for two years, and there may be loss yet, as was the case recently, one of the parties having defaulted at alate wee and the wernment being put to a loss of Mr. iiss proceeded to argue that they had made out a case, reading from several authorities, MR. HINE FOR DEFENCE. Mr. Hine said that all that gave him encourage- ment that what he might say may be of benefit to his client, was that the gentleman had evaded the question. They claimed that his cient was per- forming the service faithfully and honestly, and it was admitted that the government had suffered no loss. He read from 24 Sawyer as to the duties of a grand jury, claiming that that body should be a protector of the citizen. Mr. Totten followed Mr. Hine and was speaking when our report closed.

Mr. Morrill explained that the services of all the Messengers were abundantly utilized, as aside from their ordinary duties they were reqiilred to serve as doorkeepers in the galleries and at other points during the sessious of the Senate, and in some tn- Instances to do errands to the ‘epartments for committees while the Senate was in Session. THE RESOLUTION PASSED.

The morning hour having been dispensed with, the House resumed the consideration of the appor- tionment bill, and Mr. Herbert continued his ‘Speech in opposition to any Increase in the mem- ‘bership of the House. It Was said that large bodies had the advantage of being more difficult to cor- Tupt, but he contended that more “members would bring more schemes. Just in proporuon as the Ienibership was increased, the members would lose individuality and persoual responsibility, and would rely upon committecs; The corrupt man in- stead of endeavoring to corfupt the House would apply himself to the commitizes. The committces could not he made large enoagh to put them be- yond tue reach of tempbittow.

Y.) said that the on of ap- portionment was @ single one of arithmetic. The “Seaton” method was founded on a fallacy. The Constitution said that resentation should be apportioned on numbers, ‘The “Seaton” rule pur- sued the theory of giving resentation to pi tive quantities, That was contrary to the Constt- tution, which required that representation should be given to positive quantities. The bill proposed togive Representatives to New York, Pennsy!- Vania and Ii!tnois for a population of five hundred thousand which had no existence.
