Sherman, who arrived in the clty Saturday afternoon, visited the War department. this morn- ing and spent some time in calling upon the Secre- tary of War, Gen. Sheridan, and other officials. He | had a pleasdnt greeting for ali the employes who served under hin. A Stax reporter met him in the ‘hall, and asked for Information as to the progress of the movement for the rellef of Gen. Grant. T can’t tell you anything about it,” replied Gen. Sherman, “except that the matter 1s in strong hand& It ts @ very complicated case,” he contine Ued, “and no one can tei the resuit; but, as I sald, strong men are Interested 1m It. ‘The very Dest la yers are looking after Gen.

Members of Congress of both houses and of both Parties concede the great importance of legislation to regulate the counting of electoral votes, but there Is, practically @ deadlock on the subject, which bids fair to prevent the passage of any such act. At the last session of Congress the Senate passed a bill, which was reported from the com- mittee on elections, to regulate the counting ot electoral votes. In'the House It was promptly re- ferred to the cOminittee havipg charge of that SUD- Ject, of which Mr. Eaton is chairman. ‘That com- mittee reported back as a substitute a bill which had been introduced by Mr. Eaton, and the House assed It. AS the Senate stood by’ Its bill, the sub- ject went to a conference cuimiittee, consisting of Senators Hoar, Sherman and Pugh, and. Represen- tatives Eaton, Bennett and Hart. ‘The Senate and House bills Nave become generally known by the ame of their respective authors, Messrs, Hour and Eaton. The conference committee has held sev- eral meetings, but no agreement has been reached, The chief point of difference in the bills, and. that over which the contest arises, 1s in relation to the determination of controverted questions arising over electoral returns, HOW THE TWO BILLS DIFFER. ‘There {s no material difference between the two Dills in these provisions relating to a joint meeting of the two houses of Congress to count the electoral vote. Each requires the meeting to be held in the hall of the House, the president of the Senate to preside, tellers to be appointed, ete. ‘The Hoar bill Fequires that if there be more than one return, oF ‘paper purporting to be a return,” from a state 18 presented, that return only shall’be counted which the two houses, acting Separately, shall concur- rently decide to'be the “lawful return. Or in case an objection in writing, signed by atleast one mem ber of each house, is presented to the vote of a state, that return can only be rejected by the affirmative vole of both houses. In each of these cases the Hoar DUll requires. that the Senate shail retire to its chamber, and the question in_con- troversy sha be Submitted to each house separately. The Eaton bill provides that in the case of more than one return from a state, or of objection being made to a return, the quéstion ghall be submitted to the Joint convention, and that a vote per capita shall be taken, “and those Votes shall be counted and added to the lst of votes already ascertained which a majority of the Joint convention shall determine to have been con- tained in the proper and legal revurn.” ANTAGONISTIO POSITIONS O¥ THR TWO HOUSES. ‘The Senate objects that the Eaton bl.l does not give to that body its due welght of authority in deciding controverted questions; that the Senate fs co-ordinate with the House, and should have the Tight, a8 & whole, to pass upon such questions. Representative Eaton insists that the Hoar bili gives the Senate too much power. He says that Under that bill the Senate could really annul the Tesult of an election by the people. He contends that, as the Constitution vests the House with auttority to elect a President, in the eventot a fall ure of popular election, itis clearly the intent of that Instrument that the should have the pre- Donderatinginfluence. There is also some fe of partisanship in the question.

HOW FERSONS IN THIS CITY WERE DUPED BY & “BLIND POOL” SCHEME. A correspondent of the New York Times has been investigating the operations in Washington of the Ewen Brothers, the New York cotton brokers, who recently failed. Just when they started tneir “blind pools” 1s not definitely known. After de- tailing how Major A. H. 8. Davis was drawn Into the schemes of the Ewens through Mra. C.A. Stete- feldt, who had made large profits in dealings with the firm, the correspondent gives particulars of the gradual’ expansion of the business by methods Strikingly simflar to those made familiar by the col- lapse of ‘Broker Leves and the expose which at- tended it. ‘The Ewens, it 1s stated, instructed Da- vis W secure lady customers wherever possible, as, they were enthusiastic and would bring tn all thelr friends. Until he bulit up a considerable business, Davis’ Share of the profits were tobe deducted from his customers. Accordingly, Davis added a com- mission of 20 per cent to the 30 per cent charged by Ewen Brothers. ‘The customers objected to this ‘exaction of 80 per cent, and then a division was ar- Tanged between the agent and the firm. So mat— ters Went along, the customers being kept in good humor by much’ the same methods as Leves em- ployed, In July the Ewen Brothers wrote to all their Washington customers direct, saying that Uhey liad afew shares in @ Liverpool liquidation Scheme which they could dispose of for #600 each, upon which there were for every #00 accrued pronts of $150. ‘This scheme wollid be closed up October 1, 1884. ‘They would guarantee not less than $150 profits, and were confident that the re- s Would be much larger. A good many of The dupes, it is stated, forwanted five bun- dred ‘dollars. Shortly’ after this they re ceived letters from Ewen Brothers cailing for ad- ditional margins at the rate of $150 for each $300. Major Davis hid procured about 100 persons to In- ‘vest with the Ewen Brothers through him, and the agregate was about $100,000. ‘The great majority of these were ladies, and they, a8. a rule, of small qneans. Jn many inStances every dollar that could be raised Was putin. One lady, an artist of some local note, invested $2,060, every cent of her hard earnings. ’A Maine Congressman, Davis assured his lady’ customers, had personally investigated the standing of Ewen Brothers, and had so much confidence that he invested $12,000. A pension at~ Torney putin $8,000. Davis claims that he and his Wife put in over $10,000, acquiring profits which they did not draw. “A clerk fu the Interlor depart ment had $2,000 in, and another in the ‘Treasury de- yartment $2,600. "Davis claims that he had such Tnnpilcitconiidence that he induced his brother to mortgage his house in order to raise 35,000 to go into cotton. A good many of the dupes forwarded the fresh margins, and have since been waiting for returns. Such of them as went to New York got no Satisfactory explanation from the Ewen Brothers themselves, IUis understood that the swindle will be brought to the attention of the grand jury. For Gen.
