Sykes, late contestant | Jor a seat im the Senate from Alabama, tne salary of aSenator from March 4, 1573, to May 2, 1874, and one mileage each Way, amounting m the ag- gregate to $8,874. Mr. Hamiiton said the compu- tation had been made at the rate Of $7.500 per aunum. While that was the legal compensation of a Senator he was willing, however, that the computation for the entire period should be made @; the rate of $5,000 per annum. i Mr. CONKLING, (rep,) Of N. Y., Said that the prin- ciple involved in this resolution was entirely wrong. it Was a pro; ition to pay a gentleman | who had never sat a performed an hour’s service, and, furthermore, the Senate had declared that he never had any ttle of Senator, He admitted there might be a precedent jor the resolution, but itt was time now to disregard all such precedents. He would be Willing to pay the persona! expenses of the con- testant, but t/ his counsel fees were to be paid those fourred by the sitting member should also e paid. Mr. CARPENTER, (rep.) of Wis., said he was a Member or the Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions and had attended all the meetings of the committee when this case was investigated, Al- though the committee had reported in favor of Mr. Spencer, the case was not entirely free trom doubt, and if tt had been before a court the ques- Mon Would not have been an easy one to decide. He believed that Mr. Sykes had made the contest in good taith and that he ought to be compensated. He thought $3,000 a sufficient sum and moved to amend by inserting that amount. Pending the discussion the morning hour ex- pired and the resoiution went over. The Senate insisted upon its amendments to the Army Appropriation bill, and Messrs. West, Logan and Stevenson were appointed members of the , © conference comiuittee thereon. | PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION OF PUBLIC DOCUMENTS, Mr. ANTHONY, (rep.) of R.

They favored the printing and distribution of 50,000 or 100,000 copies of the report instead of 25,00 Mr. EDMUNDS, (rep.) of Vt, moved that when the Senate adjourn to-aay it be to meet on Monday ext.

Agreed to. Mr. EDMUNDS moved to strike out “twenty-five thousand,” in the fourteenth section, and insert “flity thousand,” so that the Commissioner of Agriculture could have 30,000 copies for distribu- tion. In advocating the adoption of the amendment, Mr. CARPENTER Spoke of the law abolishing the ranking privilege, and said that Congress was swindled into e passage Ol that law by the action of the ecutive Department, which asters, for its and had them obtain signatures to petiti repeal; the duty oi that departn cute the law, not to make 1t; L tension oi the tranking privilege to every doca- ment publisned by Congress, and said te would vote for an amendment to allow every document to go through the mail tree which had the offictal stamp of tie Congressional prinicr upon it, 80 that the people conid have some Information.

Mr. BouTWELL, (rep.) of Mass., submitted an amendment, to provide tor the printing and dis- tribution of 15,000 copies of the Agricultural Ke- port, instead of 25,000, and that they be distributed to the officers of the department and those who contribute iniormation to tue department. Re- jected. ! Mr. STRVENSON, (dem.) of Ky., moved a substi- tute for the jourteenth section, s0 us to provide for the printing and distribution of 300,000 copies of the Agricnitural Report, 100,000 coges for the Senate and 200,000 jor the House of Representa- tives, such reports to be allowed to go through the mais :ree upon being properly certiied on the envelope, At the request of Mr. Frelinghuysen he modified the suvstitute so aS to allow 200,000 | copies for the House, 75,000 copies for the Senate | and 25,000 copies for the Commissioner.

Of Mass., in support of the \ | bill. | Mr. Kasson, (rep.) of Iowa, opposed the bill as a Measure that proposed to expend $11,000,000— $5,000,000 at one period and $6,000,000 during iater periods—and vurn over the Mississipp! River to Mr. Eades to do with it as he pleased. He asked whether Congress would dare to turn o the “Father of Waters” to one man, Would it dare to do it to the President of the United States or to the Secretary of the Navy? Congress dare not do so. In that respect the bill was @ most eXtrava- gant and extraordinary one. Mr, Kasson went on to argue Upon the futility of all efforts of man to thwart the natural course of the great river. Mr. Speen, (dem.) of Pa., expressed his opposi- tion to tbe proposed scheme, which he charac- terized Ma wild, petty experiment.

Mr. HURiBvT, of Tlinois, who has charge of the Dili, refused to allow the substiture to be offered.

Mr. Spencer’s series of works could scarcely be paralleled in the history of mental achievement. The system of thought was perfect and close- jointed, and it differed in many respects trom any other system that had ever been offered to the world, Plato spun out a system of philosophy be- fore the knowiedge of nature had begun. Mr, Spencer perfected a system out of all the grand truths of modern research.

One Saturday, in April, 1873, the old people | went to a neighboring village to trade, leaving the house in charge of the girl, Eggler was working in the flelds, When the farmer and his wife re- turned home they were horrified to find the dead body of LEttie lying in a hall, between the kitchen and sitting room, in a pool of biood. A dozen knife stabs were found on her person. A large butcher knife lay near the giri’s dead body. Eggler was nowhere to be found, It was atonce conjectured that he had outraged the girl and then brutally murdered her. Search was immediately made for nim and he was captured on the Sunday ‘ollowing in Tompkins | county. On being arrested Eggler Loid, in effect, the following story :— STATEMENT OF THE ACCUSED. | About the middle of the forenoon on Saturday he went tothe house to get aluncheon.

Professor E. L, Youmans delivered last evening | a lecture on “Herbert Spencer and His Theory of Evolution” before the Liberal Club. Plimpton Hall was crowded by a highly respectable audience, who received the address with many marks of approbation. He said that until recently a doc, trine had been belleved that the universe was | suddenly called into existence 1n much the same | condition in which it was now. At last science | proved that life had stretched back for millions | of years; that the origin of the universe was | quite different; that the present evolution of the | earth was a result of innumeravle changes. To the mass of the people who inherited thetr | opinions this change of doctrine was probably of no moment; but the religious men feared that | it involved the question of the existence of a | Creator. ‘The pulpit still clung to the old position, | while all the scientists believed in the progressive | development of the world. The geologists occu- pied themselves rather with the collection of facts than with the forming of a philosphical A sort of tacit compromise was formed Jor a time, the theologians conceding the greater — antiquity of the world, and the geologists admit- ting preternatural intervention in the regular in- working of the scheme. | Mot very clear. | son were thrown overbo. she refused to get him the luncheon and would not | let him get it himself a quarrel ensued between | them, knife lay on the table near them.

Eis trial came on in | this city, and he was convicted of murder in the otJune, His counsel, E. D. Jackson, o/ this city, | believed Eqgler Was not guilty of wiliul murder, and carried the case to the Court of Appeals, when the judgment of the Court below was affirmed. Application was then made to Governor Dix for commutation of sentence. Numerous petitions were laid before the Governor, together with the evidence in the case. He deciined to interiere with the sentence of the Court, and it seemed that Eggier was doomed, In this strait his counsel learned that there was a provision in the treaty between the United States and Germany to the eftect that Gerinan subjects convicted of crime in this country may be TAKEN HOME FOR PUNISHMENT, and vice versa. Mr. Jackson at once proceeded to Washington and held an interview with Baron Von Schloezer, the German Minister. He was willing to take the responsibility of sending Eggier | home, if the Governor ot this state-would cunsent to release him into his custody. Governor Dix ‘Was applied to, and he was wiiling to nave the convicted murderer sent to Germany for punish- ment. Consequently a conditional pardon was granted to Eggier. The Sherif of Cayuga county took him to New York, and he is now on his way toGermany. He is to be imprisoned in Baden until his sentence 1s pronounced tn that country. AS no one under eighteen years o! age commit- ing a capital offence is punishavie with death there Eggier will escape the gallows, as he was but seventeen when he committed the crime, A 8TRANGE CASE OF DROWNING. Finshing, L. ., 18 considerably excited over a mysterious case of drowning, in connection with | which there are strong suspicions of foul play. The bare fact thata man named Dickerson was drowned while fishing has already been published. The particulars of the occurrence, so far as they can at present be learned, are as follows:—On | Wednesday evening Patrick D. Brown, the proprie- | tor ofa “sample room” in Bedford avenue, with | Joseph Raab and Charles Dickerson, both carpen- | ters, took a boat to go fishing for eels, leaving the | bridge about nine o’clock, and all three being then apparently sober. All that is known Of their sub- sequent movernents is what is stated by Raaband | Brown. The next morning, about three o'clock, Raab returned alone with the boat, and shortly afterward Brown made his appearance, having waiked over {rom the woods at College Point. Both reported that Dickerson had been drowned by falling overboard, although their statements as (o tue occurrence were The body of Dickerson was afterward found near the mouth oi the creek and an inquest was held by Coroner Reimer. Brown appeared to be very nervous in giving his testi- | mony, which Was to the eifect that while Raab was rowing the boat one of the oars was lost and the | boat careening in consequence Kaab and Dicker- , When Brown seized | the latter and succeeded in pulling him on board, | but could not reach Dickerson, who was carried | out of sight oy the tiae, When the boat grounded | | on a sandbar Brown jumped out and waded ashore. , Raab testified that Dickerson was sitting in the | stern of the boat, with Brown between them, and | that ne did not see Dickerson alter he went over- board himself, They stayed in the vicinity tor | some time trying 10 find him, but without avail. | | never allow their decisions to be made known | the way his rumor was spread irom mouth to | ment but that the graduates and their lady iriends | we LE SHEET, WEST POINT. The Colored Cadet Ques- tion Again.. FAIR PLAY VS. BALLS AND HOPS. The Examination of the Gradu- ates Continued. West Port, June 5, 1874. It must strike astranger here rather surpris- ingly to hear the talk that is indulged in by the permanent residents of the post concerning the colored cadet question, It is only three years ago since the first colored boy was appointed as cadet, and, I dare say, nobody familiar with the subject has as yet forgowen the howi that went up ‘rom the “nigger haters” all over the country because of the appointment and the predictions that were made that the end of West Point had come at last, and with what a hurrah they hailed the failure of little Howard, of Mississippi, to pass the “plebe’’ examination. Smith, of South Carolina, who can claim to be the first colored boy who ever wore the cadet gray, did not fal; but the poor fellow had to stand an almost incredible amount of petty persecution from the white cadets; so much so that at one time he sertously thought o/ resigning and was only made to stand firm vy the advice of prominent men who had bidden bim be of good cheer and that they would see he got fair play. Then came a court martial, of which nothing serious tor anybody concerned resulted other than a little “set back’? for Smith, and to-day he is a second class mun, and if he can weather through till next June will ; become a full-tledged officer of the regular army. The nearness of the close of his studies here, aud the fact that as a second class man he was examined yesterday «nd | to-day in the branch of study generalized under the head of philosophy, have both, it seems, combined to renew the old discussion that was | thought to have been ended two years ago, with all its old features of malevolence and narrow minded spites, There need be no begging the question | that there is a secret hope in the hearts of most | peopie here—judging from the little I have heard dropped here and there to-day from the more in- | cautivus prattlers—that Smith may be found de- ficient, anu, consequemtly, sent home. I do not Mean to say that the boy has not been SHOWN PAIR PLAY by the professors and instructors. By no means, | for if they have strained a point in anything in their dealings witi him I am certain from what 1 know of them that the strain has always been mer- cifully in his favor. Indeed, a cadet to-day, in speaking to Me about Smith, made the remark :— “He would have been found deficient last Jan- this’ very remark, while proving what I say asto the impartiality, with a leaning to mercy, that has been exercised toward Smith by the Fac- uity, is in itseli a revelation Of the ieeling that ex- istsin the corps against him. It 1s very easy to say that because te is acolored boy he is not allowed to be found deficient, but it 1s not so easy to prove the assertion. There are two things, probably, more than anytaing else which have prompted the boy to be the subject of much quiet talk and gossip {use now among the oificers and their friends, and of A GREAT DEAL OF UNRESTRAINED COMMENT said beiore, the fact that his examination in pnilo- | sophy was completed to-day and, secondly, that it is the custom 01 the second class to tender a hop. to the graduating Class pelore they leave the post, at which it is quite natural and according to the proprieties that both classes attend | with the lady and gentlemen triends | they see fit to honor with an mvitation, | ‘There was a rumor this afternoon that smith had indeed failed to pass his eXamination as satisiac- toriy as it ought to have been passed to save him irom being put down in the register as “deticient,” | but as 1 have been unable Lo trace it toany reliavie source, aud, moreover, ag the Examining Board until near the end of the examination period, IL give it simply for what itis worth. But I must say mouth and made a sweet morsel of gossip, shows quite plainly that the poor tellow has put few well-wishers. My own private opinion of his ex- amination is that he nas not failed, and that thereiore he will be able to be called a member of the first class after September next. As to the Matter ol the hop, it 1s just this that is sorely troubling the minds of many. Supposing Smith as a second class man, having, by the very fact of his | bemg a member of the class, all the mghts and | privileges enjoyed by the other members, should ; take @ notion not only to attend the hop himself , but to invite a colored lady friend and as many COLORED LADIES AND GENTLEMEN | as his invitations would entitle him to—what would be the result? Can it be doubted for a mo- ‘ould Make an uproar and possibly so act as to compromise them seriously under the Civil Rights billy Just think o! it, ye shades of Lee and Har- die and Jackson! A colored man in cadet clothes, accompanied by a colored woman, both rightiul PA pal ts of the annual dance in the ess Hall, moving amid the white beautics of the North and South, with no one to say them nay. But I donot apprehend that the first or the second class will be compelled to meet this ilttle difficulty. Smith is, Ilearn, no matter what else he may be, a fellow of uncommon good sense. Although be has beer and is SOCIALLY OSTRACISED, and will doubtless continue to be so as long as he remains here, and will never be able, as he has never been able yet, to exchange a Word with | any of the white cadets other than what is | contained in military commands that ali alike have to obey, he has sense enough to see that by pushing himseif where he 1s not wanted he would be doing himselfno good, Had ne been anxious to get even as it were with those who look down on him by entering a soctal circle where he has the right to go, he could have easily last summer, darmg the hops in camp, made trouble with the assistance of a colored damsel. He did not bother his head about the hops, and I think that he will not bother his head about the one that 18 soon to be given to the graduates, even though the tender | of the bail to them is an aifair of the second class, of which he 1s a lawful member. Now, looking at this colored cadct question | purely as A QUESTION OF JUSTICE, it does seem rather strange that there could exist anywhere here anything like a bad feeling againgt this boy, and that hopes should be indwged in for his misiortune, As the first cojored cadet tn the academy who has managed by his own talent to weather through three ae of West Point study, | it would be a pity if he were now made to teel that every hand was raised against hin lest he May Weather it through to the end.
