Its advertising patrons are therefore requested to send in all changes of matter before 11 o'clock a.m., and all new matier before 12 o'clock m., and as much earlier than those hours as possible, Copy received earliest will have preference, al- ways, and that coming in after the hours named cannot have assurance of insertion until the next day. a Government Recrirts Topay.—Internal revenue, $171,075; customs, £700,758, Presipent Hannison has invited all members of the congressional press galleries to attend, with their wives or other ladies, the card re- ceptions to be given to the diplomatic corps, to Congress and the judiciary and to the army andnavy, The invitation is after the usual form and ig a continuation of a well-established custom, Intezwar Revencve APPoIntMENTs.—The Sec- retary of the Treasury has made the following appointments in the internal revenue service: John F, Frill, store keeper and gauger, first Missouri; A.

Major Raymond’s Report on the Pro- posed Amendments to the Charter, Major Raymond today forwarded his report on Senate bill 498, to amend the charter, of the Brightwood railroad company. Major Raymond does not approve omitting from the original act the portion making the company a body corporate and politic. The second change is that it adds to the original charter the right to construct a branch to Ta- coma, but the route of said branch is not specified. This route, Major Raymond gays, should be specified, so that the Commissioners may examine the line and see whether the pres- ent roads bave width enough to accommodate the railroad, ‘The next proposed change is that it takes from the original charter the proviso that if electricity is used as a motive force the wires or cable shall be placed underground. Maj, Raymond nig 2048 at there is no objection to this change, but says that if electricity is used as a motive power the arrangements for its use should be subject to the approval of the Com- missioners, The next change is the omission of the pro- viso that six tickets shall be sold for 25 cents, so that the amended section allows the road to charge 5 cents for each passenger, with no de- duction where a larger number of tickets are purchased. The major says he is not aware of any reason why this ehange should be made. ‘The amended bill omits the provision in the 1, “That Congress reserves the right to end or repeal thisact,” This change, the major says, is obviously one which ougat not to be made, Congress, he holds, should re tain the rights reserved in the original act.) ‘The matter will be discussed in board session before the report to Congress is made, eagee Candidate For Judge Brewer’s Circuit, Judge Parker, district judge in Arkansas, is said to be in the lead of all other candidates Tete vacant by the appointment of Sedge t vacan’ ap] Brower tothe supreme bench.

POLITICS IN THE SENATE. SenatorVoorhees on the “Blocks of Five” Letter. DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL Under Consideration in the House. The Senate. After some routine morning business Mr. Voorhees called up the redolution offered by him yesterday reciting the newspaper 1 a that Mr. Chambers, the United States district attorney at Indianapolis, had interferfd in his official capacity to prevent the arrgst of W. W. Dudley on a charge of felonio: violating the election laws of Indiana at t¥e late presi- dential election and directing/the Attorney General to report what instructions the De- partment of Justice had issued to Chambers on the subject, und to furrish copies of the cor- respondence, and. address the Senate. He spoke of the alleged crime as having inflicted an indellible atain on that memorable election and impeached the integrity ot the political result that followed. ‘The fact of the crime was open, universally known and prectically, confessed by its perpe- trators and his coadjutors. And yet, by con- stant vigilance in obstructing the iaw, and in denying and preventing justice, the crime has thus far gone unpunished, ‘The beneticiary of a [casas ballot box now in high place had felt compelled to shield the corrupt instru- ment of that success from the penalties due to such notorious guilt, It was high time, he gaid, that that most disgraceful and most alarming episode in the presidential election should be iully understoo: by the whole people and that the proper degree of responsibility should be assigned to the instrument by whom it was perpetrated aud to those who tried to hide the offense. He should “nothing exten- uate nor aught set down in malice,” but for- bearance on the subject had long ceased to be a virtue in the estimation of all honest people in Indiana, and for those alone he spoke. THE BLOCKS OF FIVE LETTER. Mr. Voorhees sent to the clerk's desk and had read the notorious “blocks of five” letter and went on to say that the days and weeks which immediately followed the publication of that pollut and polluting campaign document would always be remembered for the rapidity, audacity and fecundity with which the most self-evident falsehoods were con- ceived and put forth by the republi- can press in order to avert the odium and to escape the legal penalties of an organ- ized attempt at wholesale bribery, This docu- ment, emanating officially from the national republican committee (and never disavowed), had pointed out, he said, that an ample corrup- tion fund was ready in hand, and gave explicit Porctions for its use by agents selected for jir skill insuch rascality. He spoke of Dud- ley as the immediate, personal repre- sentative (in the national republican com- mittee) of Benjamin Harrison, then @ candidate for the ey, aud now the President of the United States. He had been put upon that committee at the earnest request of Harrison, and between them were the most confidential and intimate personal relations. They had been political Siamese twins in the state of Indiana, When, therefore, the scheme of bribery and corruption was exposed on the Bist of October,as far and as fastas the lightning carried the shameful story, was it to be sup- posed that Dudley was left without advice, in- struction and assistance? Senator Quay, clair man of the national republican committee and Senator from the siate of Peunsylvania, arrived at Indianapolis and held repeated and pro- tracted conferences with those who heid the fate of Dudiey and the interests of the repub- lican party in the hollow of their hands, It was not for him, Mr. Voorhees, to presume to determine the precise character of the men or the subject, MR. QUAYSDENIES. Mr. Quay (Pa.)—I atate to the Senator from Indiana that it is not true that in Indianapolis I conferred with those who held the republican party in the hollow of their hand or conferred Fite any one in regard to the case of Mr. Dud- ley. Mr. Voorhees—The hands of those with whom the Senator consulted were rather small, it is true, but to the extent of their palms they did hold the interests of the republican party in their hands, Does the Senator deny that he called on President-elect Harrison in Indian- ‘polis? “Mr. Quay—I called on President-elect Har- risou, Mr. Voorhees — Certainly you did. The Senator will not blame me if I draw the big in- ference that he wanted the prosecution of Dudiey stopped and that he went to In- dianapolis to see him, and that he did say cer- tain things in quarters where it would do the most good and with an emphasis which was not forgotten, DUDLEY'S ALLEGED THREATS. Mr. Voorhees went on to speak of Dudley’s threats to use the dynamite which he had in his pocket in ease an attempt was made to in- fict punishment upon him, and also to criticize very severely the part which Judge Woods was represented as taking in preventing the finding of a bill of indict- ment against Dudiey.
