HIS SILENCE BROKEN. Senator Quay Replies to the Many Charges Made Against Him, B® DENIES EACH AND EVERY CIYICALLY—a mIsTORY cIeUMSTANCES SURROUNDING EACH INCIDENT REFEREED TO— ALL ALLEGATIONS ARE FALSE AND FOUL. Senator Quay has broken the silence which nas been his most marked characteristic.

There was a good deal of conversation in the chamber, so Mr. Cullom called for order | and the Vice President seconded the motion. | Then Mr. Quay said: PERSISTENTLY AND MALIGNANTLY PURSUED.

Finally, I reach a charge that in some | mysterious way I brought about the defeat of | the the proposed amendment of the constitution of Pennsylvania prohibiting the sale of intoxi- liquors in that state, which was sub- 4 toa vote of the people in 1889.

Ihave endeavored to answer every specific charge of misfeasance or malfeasance that could be extracted froma careful perusal of the mass of direct falsehood, confused state- ments, inuendo, insinuation and cunning im- lication that, with an industry worthy of a cause, has been gathered together for iy destrnetion. toto; they are false and foul to the core. ‘TESTIFY AS TO QUAY'S HONESTY. Samnel Gustine Thompson, president of the Young Men's Democratic Association of Phila- deipbia, who presided at the Pattison meeting | in the Academy of Music in the last campaign, said Inst night: “Iwas counsel for the woman in question.

Looking to the future, and knowing that th» records of Congress will remain for other generations to read when most of us composing it will be | forgotten. I choose, for the truth of history and for that which is dearer to all men than riches, to dispel the mist of falsehood with the clear light of fact. Tt is not my purpose to weary the Senate by a rehearsal of excit detail of the mass of misrep- resentation. Nevertheless, avoiding prolixity, I will endeavor to make this statement specific and #0 complete as to be final. If ary thread in the fabric of falsehood remains unsevered, it will be because this tissue of lies ix so com- plex, is so raveled with contradictioa an: Glouded with insinuation, that some inst ; @ant portion has escaped my attention. STATE FUNDS NOT USED IN SPECULATIO: The first assertion concerning my official acts is that at some time, or continuously, be- tween the years of 1879 and 1882, I alone, or acting with another or others, used the moneys of the state of Pennsylvania for speculative or private pur I denounce this statement as absolutely false. In 1877 the democratic party of Pennsylvania elected a stat2 treasurer and an auditor general, the financial officers of the commonweuith. A year or twolater, pend- ing their terms of office, I became engaged in stock operations. In some transactions I was associated and Jointly interested with the gentleman who was at that time the cashier of the state treasury. transactions proved seriously disastrous, to pay a portion of his yown. In doing this, it be- ame necessary to supply an alleged deficiency eatanennmtnc the tears olau geen cs the fund for this purpose, I borrowed $100,000 from the gentleman who is at present my col- league in the Senate. I gave him my judgment note therefor, the amount of which note I paid to him, doliar for doliary years ago. Not until the beginning of the settlement of our losses was I aware that a deficiency existed, and I had every assurance that my associate was able to carry his share of the losses. My connection thereafter was simply with the aid of friends to raise the necessary funds to supply the deficit. ‘THE CHICAGO STREET RAILWAY AFFATR. Itis charged that again I used moneys be- longing to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to purchase bonds, or stock, or both, of a Chi- cago street railway. I was invited by friends in Philadelphia to join in the purchase of street railway property in Chicago, and did so, bor- rowing the money upon my own collateral from the People’s Bank in Philadelphia. I stood upon the same footing with the other gentle- men concerned, and it was a perfectly straight- forward business transaction, and had no con- nection in any way with any public fund or Public interest. The charge that securities belonging to the state of Pennsylvania were used in this tranaac- tion is false, and impossible of truth. The only negotiable securities held by the state of Pennsylvania are the registered bonds of the United States, transferable only on the books of the national treasury. by the auditor gen- eral. secretary of the commonwealth and state | freasarer, acting conjointly, after having filed a certificate with the governor in their official character. ME NEVER DEFRAUDED A MAX OR WoMAN. Collateral to this last necusation is a charge that I defrauded, or attempted to defrand, the widow of a deceased friend. This also is abso- lutely false. There breathes not upon the earth man or woman who can truthfully say that I ever defrauded or attempted to defraud bim or her of adollar. Upon this point charity to the dead and to the living forbids my making any personal explanation. Samuel Gustine Thompson, a member of the Philadelphia bar, and president of the Young Men's Democratic Association of that city, is one of several vroughly conversant with the facts. who can give them to the public if they see proper. Tcome now to what might be cailed the fourth ground of criticism of my public _con- duet. This was my action as a member of the board of pardons of Pennsylvania in voting forthe pardon of certain members of the Pennsylvania legislature and others, upon whom sentence had been passed for bribery. My conduct in that matter has been bitterly assailed; and it is proper to say that the facts were patent to the people of the state, and were thoroughly discussed before my election to the office of state treasurer, and subsequently to » seat in this chamber. HIS VOTE ON THE BOARD OF PARDONS. Thad no personal interest in the legislation involved. My vote as a member of the board of pardons was in accordance with the law and with the action of my colleagues, and was com- pelled by the fact that the sentence imposed by the court upon the persons pardoned was il- legal. Upon this point the attorney general of the state filed his written opinion with our de- cision. Iam frank towy that I have no regrets for that vote, and would repeat it under the same circumstances. Even had not the eentence been unlawful, it is my opinion that the ends of justice had been fully served by the conviction of the defendants. One of the gentlemen in- volved has, within the last few weeks, received the unanimous thanks of the Pennsylvania leg- islature for important services rendered human- ity and the state. incidentally the statement has been made that iz: some unspecified manner I procured or attempted to procure the pardon of a person named Lynch, under sentence for forgery. by threats delivered personally to Mr. Byers of Fittsberg. I cannot at this day remember the facts or the pendency of the case, but the ebarge is a lie, for which there never was the shadow of a foundation. Equally false is the mint to THE HAWAIIAN CABLE. Its Construction Provided For—Other Amend- ments to the Diplomatic Appropriation Bill. The Senate was in executive session for more than four hours yesterday. During this session ~ proposition te appropriate $3,000,000 for the construction and operation of a telegraphic cable to the Hawaiian Islands was discussed, and at the open session which followed the proposi- tion was adopted as an amendment to the con- sular and diplomatic appropriation bill. The amendment provides: To enable the President to make engagement with any such citizen or corporation of the United States as shal! appear to possess the means and facilities necessary to that end for telegraphic communication between the United States and the kingdom of Hawaii, which en- gagement shall contain provisions sufficient, in the judgement of the President, to secure to the government and citizecs of the United States early and equal communication by telegraph with said kingdom on reasonable terms for a period of not less than fourteen years, a sum not exceeding £250,000 is appro- priated for each year during which the en; ment shall be in operation and during which such engagement shall be so in eouree “of exe- cution, not exceeding twenty years, and the sum total paid under this authority’ shall not exceed $3,000,000. The following amendmerts were also agreed to: Making the mission to Mexico a first-class mission, ranking with France, Germany, Great Britain and Russia, with a salary of £17,500. Striking out the item of $10,000 for a’ minis- ter to the Centra! American states and insert ing two items of $10,000 each for a minister to Gaatemala and Honduras, and for a minister to Nicaragua, Costo Rica and Salvador. To increase the salary of the consul at King- ston, Jamaica, from $2,000 to $3,000, Mr. Doiph’s motion to increase the salary of the minister to Portugal from $5,000 to $10,000 was under discussion when the Senate ad- journed. ——__-2+______ NO RIGHT OF PETITION.

Fall of the City.and Its Occupation by __ fife Union Forces. - 4 From the Atlinta Consfitution. In the spring of 1864, having command of the military division of the Mississippi, Sher- man began his campaign’ against Gen. Joseph E. Johnston at Dalton, Ga. His force amounted to 98,797 men and 254 piecos of eannon. His policy all along waste fank Johnston, but he was not able to do this without engaging in notable battles at Reeaca,Allatoona, Dallas, New Hope Church and Kennesaw mountain. About the middle of July the confederates fell back into their works around Atlantsand Johnston was superseded by Hood. On the 17th of July the great movement against Atlanta commenced, and on the 20th Sherman's first shell fell into Atlqnta at the intersection of East Ellis and Ivy streets, where it killed a little child. It was seen to fall by in the day two other shells fell in the city. On the 22d occurred a great battle in whi BicPherson on the federal side and Gen. Walker on the confederate side were killed. After the battle of Ezra Church, on the 28th, siege commenced im earnest. It lasted orer a month, and the destruction of life and perty in the city was terrific. rae Hood, ina letter to Gen. Shermfn, tested against the unnecessary cruelty of shell- ing a city ful] of women and children. Sher- man’s reply was one of the sharpest and most bratal letters in Our war literature. He took the position that Hood was deliberately con- ducting 3 whblly ‘unjustifiable: struggle, and charged him with cowardice in seeking the i tothe enemy for mercy. He reminded him that that was the science of barbarism, and that its principal aim wae to slay and destroy. After this remarkable correspondence ‘shelling went on more briskly than ever. On the 31st of August the federals succeeded in cutting off the city from all communication with the outside world, and the bloody battle of Jonesboro was fought. ‘The next day found Atlanta almost in a stato of anarchy. At night the confederates evacuated the place, after blowing up seventy carloads of ammunition, and on the next day Sherman's troops entered. Mayor James C. Calhoun and a committee of ns called on General Sherman to form- ally surrender the city. They saw a man of forty-five, who looked fully ten years older. His bronzed face wns eeamed with iines of care and his eyes told a tale of slcepless nights. Hi wrinkled brow and his closely trimmed beard, together with his weather-beaten field uniform, made him look like anything but a holiday sol- dier, and his appearance contrasted strikingly with the glitter aud glaring colors of the im- posing staff around him. Still, he had the air of leadership and command. He looked down at the ground while Mayor Calhoun surren- dered the city upon the condition that life, libertr and private property should be pro- tected. Then the general looked up, and in a curt, business-like way said that he would grant the conditions. “But this is war, you know,” he said in his abrupt way. Yes, G—d d—n it, this is war, and 1 must place your town under martial Iaw. ‘That won't hurt good citizens, but it will the devil with bad ones.” te With a few words of parting, the committee red toretire. “One word more,” said the general. “I su pose it is understood that none of your people will fire on my soldiers?” He was assured that nothing of the kind would occur, and the committee left his pres- ence. In the course of a few days Sherman issued his famous order directing all the citizens to go south or north. This caused a general exodus and turned the city into a vast fortified camp occupied by about 80,000 soldiers. Durir.z the ten weeks of his sojourn in At- lants Gen. Sherman met many prominent citi- zens. More than once he stated that the fed- erals would hold the place until the war was over. His idea was to make the city a military *—a camp—and maintain it as such until the return of peace. He made his headquar- ters at Judge K.P. Lyon's house, the present higa school building, and moved about the streets every day almost unattended. When the general took possession of the Lyon house he found it occupied by a Mrs. Welch. a widow with several smal: children in her charge. Sherman permitted Mra. Welch to re- main in the eapacity of housekeeper and made i ar-t to the unfortunate family. his suggestion, ve a series of con- certs for the benefit of the Welch family, in which Mrs. Welch and the children participated. ‘These entertainments were very popular and quite a handsome sum was raised fo- the family. Mr. William Markham, 9 prominent citizen of Union sympathies, sent the general a bottle of fine brandy. In acknowledgment of the courtesy Sherman called at bis residence one evening and spent an hour ot two in social con- vergation. To Mr. Murkham he said that At- lanta would be held until the waz ended and that Gran: y would probabiy continue its march to the cit; While preparations for the removal of the citizens were in progress, the mayor and coun- cilmen, E. E. Rawson and L. C. Wells, remon- stratgd. In response Gen. Suerman said: “We must have peace; not only peaée in Atlanta, but in all America; to secure pgace we must stop the war, and to stop the waf we must de- feat the rebel armies that keep up the war. * # * Now, I know the vindictive character of our enemy, and thatwe may have many years of militury operations from this quarter, ‘and therefore decm it wise and prudent to prepare in time. ‘the use of Atlanta for war- like purposes is inconsistent with its character asa home for families. There will be no man- ufactures, commerce or agriculture here for their support, and sooner or later want would compel the inhabitants to go, and it would be better to send them out while the arrangements were complete for their transfer “than to wait until circumstances became inconvenient. ‘The facts of history are too weil known to need repetition here. About the middle of ovember Gen. Sherman burned Atlanta to the ground and started on his march to the sea. He eft Atlanta utierly disemboweled, out of 8,800 houses only about 400 being left standing. Ail this, however, is familiar to our readers. Sherman continued his march to the sex, eap- tured Savannah and in North Carolina received the fina! surrender of Johnston's forces. In 1869, when Gen. Graut was President, he was made commander-in-chief of the army, but in the course of a few years resigned and retired to private lit 2 Gen. Sherman wes a man of tremendous nervous energy. This characteristic appeared to dominate him at all times and in the midst of great privations and trials made him supe- rior to the ren around him. Sirce the war his career bas not brought him into favorable no- tice. His controversy with Jefferson Davis and his article in The North American Review, suggesting a new erosude in the south in the interest of the negroes, was, to say the unfortunate. However, much may be forgiven in the case of an old soldier after he had out- lived the period of his active usefulness. JJ verdict of posterity will be that Willian Te- cumseh Sherman was a great man. > ———_—__+ee-—____ A SLEEPING WONDER. Medical Men Puziled Over an Indiana Boy's Slumbers.

His name will be sacred to us as embodying all that is great as a voldier, all that is generous and kind inafriend. His heroic career will be a lasting glory to West Point. His example and precepts are undying legacy to his sons.” A At Boston the board of aldermen and the com- mon council met in session Fagor and adopted resolutions testifying to the admira- tion and affection in which Gep.

MAKING ARRANGEMENTS IX ST. LOUIS. Ata large meeting of St. Louis’ representa- tive citizens, G.A.R. men and others was held yesterday in the directors’ room of the mer- chants’ exchange. The purpose of the meeting was to make arrangements for the funeral of Gen. Sherman. ‘The telegram received from Senator Sherman and Gens. Howard and Slo- cum and others empowering the general com- mittee of the merchants’ exchange and citizens to perfect arrangements was read, after which the committe» appointed on Satusday was en- large.

President Bernheimer of the merchants’ ex- change has called a mass meeting for Thursday afternoon, to be held on the floor of the ex- change, at which memorial services will be held in respect to the memory of the honored dead. No orders had been received at military headquarters up to noon, and it is not defi- nitely known whethe: the funeral will be & military or a civic one. Immediately after the adjournment of the general committee the executive committee went into session and appointed several sub- committees, to which were assigned special duties. Militery organizations and Grand Army posts in Missouri and adjoining “states will be invited to participate in the obsequies.

The ex-chancellor, immediately after tho publication referred to, repudiated all the assertions made. Abranyi then sought another interview with Prince Bis- marek, but was refused admittance to the ex- chancellor's presences. Abranyi was highly in- censed at this proceeding and at the teunts and Jeers he received on all sides from the press and from his friends and acquaintancea_ Fin- ally he was goaded into publishing a letter August 15, in which he reproduced his former statements and insisted upon their entire cor- rectness. © ‘This brought out another denial from Prince unfortuna’ 5 wae 9 result of, his M wed interview with ince ran: is vent in the Hungariag diet ‘0 days later the un- lucky interviewer published » circumstantial account of his alleged interview and was an- a re-election to the diet. The 36, when the 1 ee SS Abranyi, in consequence bi: Teceived on nccouut of his alleged interview with Prince Bismarck, was suffering so severely from nervous mania that his friends had de- cided that it would be necessary to place him in a lunatic asylum. It is now said that he interviewed Bismarck's Aonble, a man who looked so much like the ex- chancellor that the interviewer was completely deceived. | The meeting, was carried out as a practical joke.

The increase in the total population was 24.86 per cent. It thus appears that the peniten valation is growing somewhat more rapidly than the Population at large, but the difference is not very appreciable. ‘The number of leased pris- oners in the south has almost doubled in ten years. 3 THE FIGURES SHOW COLOR AKD NATIVITY. In respect of color, 30,546 white and 14,687 colored, of the latter 14,267 were negroes, 237 Chinese, 3 Japanese and 180 Indiané.

Before the present census this ix all that could have been said on this important topic. But an ex- amination of the table will reveal the fact that the native white convicts are divided into four or really five subclasses, as follows: 12,842 had both parents native, 1,747 had one parent native and one parent foreign born, 6.584 had both parents foreign born and in 1,921 cases the birth- Place of one or both parents is unknown.

Accurious incident happened in West Vir- ginias few days ago, which shows to what ex- tent people will attach their signatures to doc- uments the intent of which they know nothing bortbwes. about, relying solely upon statements of per- | inton Mi sons presenting them. ° Mr. James Carroll, # prominent but illiterate farme: of Preston county, astonished the judge of the county court by ‘Preventing @ petition that he be and a day for the execution be set by the court. ‘The paper was by 250 of his friends and acquaintances. in- vestigation it turned ont that Mr. was a surveyor and desired to resign and he asked Dr. James A. Cox, a friend, to draw up a paper to that effec:, Cox, being somewhat of a wag and knowing that Carroll could not read, drow up the petition asking that he be hanged and carried it around explain- ing what he wanted and friends to sign it.
