DEATH OF DR. SAMUEL A. MUDD, ONE OF THE MEN CONVICTED AB A CO-CONSPIRATOR WITH BOOTH. The name of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, who dled at his home near Bryantown, Charles county, Md., last Wednesday, after a brief filness, will go down to history in connection with the assassination of Prestdent, Lincoln. - Dr. Mudd was sentenced to the Dry Tortugas for life for harboring J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin, and was subsequently par- doned’by President Johnson. Booth and Herrold, after the assassination, fled into Charles county, Maryland, and about daybreak on the morning aiter the shooting reached Dr. Mudd’s house. Booth, whose ankle had been broken by the leap from President Lincoln’s box, at the theater, was assisted into the house, where lis Injury was attended to by Dr. 3fadd. Booth and his companion remained in the house until nightfall, and then departed. Dr. Mudd always contended that this was the beginning and ending of his acquaintance with them; that he did not. know who they were, and did not hear of the Shooting of the President until the next Sunday. At the trial of the conspirators, however, one of the witnesses testied that when he went to Dr. Mudd’s house to arrest him,on April 21st, the phy- siclan, finding they were going to search the house, told his wife to bring down stairs an old boot leg which had been cut ee in order to get it off the injured leg of Booth, Inside of tho leg was written in tok, “J. Wilkes.” Later in the day Dr. Mudd admitted ‘that the injured man was Booth, and Principally on this admission he was convicted, le was sentenced, together with Spangler, Arnold. and McLaughlin, to imprisonment in the Albany peur aay tor life at hard labor,and subsequent- sent them to the Dry Tortugas. While there he distinguished himselt by his herotc service durii & yellow fever epidemic, and in consideration o this he was pardoned. Br.

APPROPRIATION BILLS PASSED Two ‘ IN THE HOUSE. Senate Proceedings. Mr. Hoar introduced, by request, a bill relating to federal elections. Referred to the committee on privileges and elections, PROPOSED INVESTIGATION OF RAILROAD TRANSPORTA- TION. Mr, Ingalls introduced a bill to authorize the President to appoint by, and with the advice and consent of, the Senate seven commissioners, from civil life, Whose duiy it shall be to consider and in- vestigate the subject of railroad transportation, its relations to commerce and agriculture gener- ally, how it affects these interests, what grounds of complaint exist resuiting from unjust discrimi- nations and exorbitant rates; that the commis- sion shall report to Congress by the first Wednes- day in December, 1883; that each commissioner shall receive ten dollars per day while actually employed and expenses. The commission shall have power to send for persons and papers, to travel when and where necessary, and to employ aclerk and stenographer. The bill was laid on the table. THE UTAH QUESTION—WOMAN SUFFRAGE, ETC. At the close of the morning business Mr. Eq- munds moved to postpone the calendar in order to take up the Senate bill relating tothe condition of ‘things in Utah, Mr. George was not opposed to this bill, but he thought the bill to enlarge the powers and duties ci the Department of Agriculture of more public peptic and If the calendar was postponed he preferred to have that considered. Mr. Blair thought the educational bill best entitled to prompt consideration by the Senute If the calendar was to be laid aside. Polygamy could be permanently eradicated only by educatifig the children of Utah, and the educational bill con- taived provisions for that object. He understood, too, that the Utah bill raised incidentally the question of woman suffrage, and It would be idle to hope that a bill dealing’ with that great and growing question could pass without adiscussion which would occupy as Much time as the revision of the tariff. Therefore, he would vote against the motion to postpone the calendar. Mr. Cockrell.—Do I understand the Senator to say that the bill which the Senator from Vermont desires to have considered is in opposition to woman Wate oH Mr. Blair.—I understood him to say 50. on Edmunds.—I did not say it was in opposition It. The motion to postpone was lost, ayes 26, nocs: 29, and the bill on the calendar to exclude puilic lands in Alabama from the operation of the laws relating to mineral lands was taken up. THE BEN HOLLADAY BILL. ‘Mr. Jones (Nevada) moved to postpone the cal- endar in order to take up the bill for the rellet of Ben Holladay. While the motion was pending Mr. Cockrell moved to go into executive session. Lost; ayes 21, noes 25. Mr. Jones’ motion to po: pone was agreed to; ayes 28, noes 26, and was followed by a motion to take up the bill for the relief of Ben Holladay, which was carried; ayes 29, noes 23, Mr. Plum moved to strike out all after the en- acting Clause and substitute the bill to enlarge the powers and duties of the Department of Agri- culture. Mr. Williams made the point that the amend- ment Was not germane to the bill. The President sald the Senate had long ago de- cided that the germaneness of amendments was not to be cansidered, except on appropriation bills, An entireiy different bi might be gngraft- ed on the words, “Be it enacted,” and he was in- formed that toward the end of the last session a raliroad land grant had_ been engrafted upon a bill granting a pension. [Laughter.] Mr. Plumb addressed the Senate upon bis mo- Gn and discussed the merits of the agricultural Mr. Plumb spoke until a quarter to two. Air. Williams sata he was in favor of the agricul- tural bill when it should come up properly, but he was not in favor of crowding out the bill the Senate had rulea to take up. Mr. George followed in advocacy of the agricul- tural bill EXECUTIVE SESSION. The Senate, on Mr. Windom’s motion, at 2:25 went into executive session. Houve of Representatives. ‘THE PENSION BILL UNDER CONSIDERATION. Immediately after the reading of the journal, the House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Reed in the chair) on the pension appropriation bill. Ut appropriates $81,575,000, as follows: For army pensions, $80,000,000; for havy pensions, $1,000,000; for fees ‘and expenses of examining surgeons, 275,000; for pay and allowance of penston agents, $200,000; for contingent expenses, $10,000.) Mr. O'Neill, under authority of the committee on appropriations, moved to increase the approprin- tlons tor army pensions to $85,000,000. Mr.O'Neill ex- plained thatat the close of the present fiscal year tere would be an unexpended balance to the credit of tue pension bureau of $15,800,000, whicia would bring the appropriation up to the estimates Of the departments—$101,750,000. Mr. Blackburn said that the amendment was right so far as it went; but the question was whether it went far enough. The estimates amounted to $101,750,000._ This bill appropriated $86,000,000 and reappropriated the unexpended balance which shouid be on hand at the end of the current year. It was predicated on the approxi- mate estimate of the commissioner of pensions a8 to the balance which would be on hand, and Which was adinitted by that officer to be the largest possible estimate. He feared that this bill Would necessitate a deficlency bill at the next ses- ston of Congress, Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvanta,said that the reason that there would be a balance on hand was that at ‘the beginning of the current fiscal year a large ad- aitional force of clerks had been employed in the Pension Office who had taken several months to be educated up to a state of efficiency. Mr. Atkins, of Tennessee, had no doubt that there would be a deficiency, as the force in the office was too large for the amount appropriated. ‘The amendment was adopted, An amendment was ado) making immedt- ately available $50,000 of the appropriations for the fees and expenses of examining surgeons. THE BILL PASSED. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the House, when it was passed. THR WASHINGTON GAS LIGHT COMPANY. Mr. Murch offered a resolution instructing the select committee on the charges against Chief Clerk Bailey to inquire whether that officer has attempted at any time to influence legislation for the benefit of the Washington Gag Light com- pany. Adopted. Mr. Forney moved that the House go into com- mittee of the whole on the fortification bill. Mr. White called for the regular order, and de- sired to proceed to the consideration ofthe un- Mnished business, being the resolution reported adversely in June last from the committee on Ways and means calling on the Secretary of the ‘Treasury for information, relative to the passage of the bill in regard to the entry of distilled spirits into bonded warehouses. The Speaker suggetted that a prior unfinished business was the resolu- on reported in March last from the committee on rules changing the rules of the House. Mr. Read, of Miine.—And if any business is unfinished # would like to see it. [Laughter). The Speaker ruled that Mr. Forney’s motion took precedence of the unfinished business, and, after & protest from Mr. White that the Speaker by his decision was “lending to this whisky bill,” the ‘House went into committee (Mr. Davis, of Illinois, in the chair) on the fortification bil. (The bill makes the pottlab 3 a) tions > For the protection, preservation and repair of fortifications and other works of defense, $175,000; for armament of seacoast fortiri including heavy gunsand howitzers for flank defense, etc, including the conversion or smooth bore cannon into rifles, $100.000; for torpedoes for harbor de- tense ant Preservation of the $80,000; total, 3) Mr. McCook, of New York, tn speaking toa formal amendment entered his against the neglect of Con; in leaving seacoast fortini- cations in a helpless condition.
