Attempted Seizure of the }Committees of Congress at Work Bulletin. A Lawless Outrage Perpetrated in the Interest of Kellogg. NEW ORLEANS, June 21, 1874, On Saturday night shortly after midnight, as the forms of the New Orleans Bulletin were being carried to the pressroom under escort, two police- men suddenly presented themselves and ob- structed the way, saying that they had orders to convey them to the Central police station. When asked by the attactrés of the Bulletin for their au- thority they said that they had no warrant, and refused to exhibit their badges. A LAWLESS SEIZURE, The Bulletin men thereupon declined to be stopped, when one of the policemen blew @& whistle and immediately twenty-flve Metropolitan police officers, armed to the teeth, rushed from their hiding places, and, seizing the forms, marched them of to the police station, where Aconference was held at the Captain General's | Suasyerare ioceed Un tects sae INSOLENGE UF THE POLICE. When Mr. Byerly, the proprietor of the Bwletin, arrived at the station house and demanded his property it was flatly refused him, the officer in charge stating he was acting under instructions from General Badger, Chief of Police. Byerley then asked if any charge had been made against him or any one connected with the Bulletin, or if any one had made an affidavit in reference to the property under seizure. He was tola that there was no charge and no aflidavit; that the property had been seized upon the order of Badger and Police Justice McArthur, and he was forced to withdraw. THE BULLETIN ISSUED. Through courtesies extended by T. J. Tracy, editor of the New Orleans Xepudlican, the man- ager and editors of the Budletin were enabled to get out a partial sheet this morning. The paper contained ix printed and two blank pages, clos- ing with an editorial under the caption, ‘‘Another Midnight Urder—An Outrage on American Lib- erty—The Press to be Bullied and Suppressed.” The Bulletin says:— “Whether Durell, Kellogg, Badger or their un- derlings are implicated, we cannot as yet say; but that this bold, audacious and villanous robbery on the hignway, of a newspaper's material on its Way to the press, was effected simply because of the Buletin’s daring and outspoken exposure of fraud and corruption, is certain,” A DELIBERATE CONSPIRACY. The circumstances that led to this unparalleled Outrage upon the press were briefly these. The Bulletin, which has been outspoken and severe in its comments upon the Kellogg usurpation, is printed in the building formerly occupied by the New Orleans Herald, having rented the material belonging to the Herald Company, which was under seizure to satisfy a claim of one Houlihan. On Saturday this material was sold by the Sheriff, and was all bought by the Bulletin, except the type, which was purchased by Houlihan at a price four or five times more than it was wortlt. ATTEMPT TO GAG TRUTH. Houlihan demanded immediate possession, but finding that the type was mixed up with the “leads,” &c., belonging to the Builetin, concluded to wait. He subsequently made three several ap- pointments with the Sheriff to receive the type, but failed each time to present himself and finally sent word to Mr. Byerly that he would not be dis- turbed until Monday. After all this he went to Mr. Badger, who, it is alleged, gave orders to his officers to take charge of any property which they might find upon the street, which was not in the custody of its owner. Armed with this vague order the police sur- rounded the Bulletin oMfce and committed the outrage recorded above. Houlihan is a mere figurehead or pawn in this matter, beihg backed by Kellogg’s officials, who have been bravely ex- posed by the Bulletin. ‘THE CITIZENS INDIGNANT. The greatest indignation ts felt in the commu- nity, and hundreds of citizens have volunteered as @ posse to. assist the Sheriff in recovering the forms, which were still in his custody when seized. THE SHERIFF SECURES THE PROPERTY. Largk.—Sounpay, 1 P. M.—Deputy Sherif Dick, at twelve o’clock to-day, made a formal demand upon Badger for the forms of the Bulletin, and was told that they were at his disposal. The police authorities found that there was no possible excuse for the outrage they had perpe- trated and yielded. Judge McArthur Denies Issuing the Order for the Seizure. NEw ORLEANS, June 21, 1874, Judge McArthur states positively that he did not issue an order for the seizure of the Bulletin’s forms. It now appears that the police acted only under the orders of Chief of Police Badger. The power behind Badger has not yet fully transpired.

WASHINGTON, Jane 21, 1874. into the Abuses in the Post Office Department— Acquittal of the Officers Implicated. The House Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads late last night+submitted a report on the charges made by Representative Stone tnat abuses and irregularities exist in the Post Office Department in reiauion to certam mail contracts, the payment to contractors and contracts for temporary serviee. The committee, after an elabor- ate examination of the subject, say that the facts and proceedings relating to the lettings of the routes specified in the preamble to Mr. Stone's resolution, and the employment of the temporary service rendered necessury by the failure of bid- ders to enter into contracts and perform the ser- vice, farnished a fair illustration of some at least of the annoyances and difficulties to which the Post OMce Department was constantly exposed under the system of “straw” bidding to which it was subjected. The present Postmaster General has, since he assumed the administration of the affairs of the Post Office Department, frequently called the attention of Congress to these irregu- larities and abuses, recommending from time to time such legislation as was suggested by the experience of the department for the purpose of preventing, if possible, their continuance and repetition, and so far as the committee have been able to discover, after a very full and careful investigation, they believe he has, with an energy and industry worthy o/ special commendation, faitnfully striven to protect the government from any serious losses which would otherwise have been sustained in consequence of these unlawful combinations and tlegal practices under the advertisement of 2,414 routes, at least 20,000 bids were received and examined; and as soon as it became manifest that the lowest bidders upon a number of them, including all of those embraced by Representative Stone in his charges, Would tail to enter into the contract which was directed to be executed prior to the first day of July, 1871, the Poste master General at once proceeded to lay allthe facts before the Attorney General, for the purpose of obtaining his opinion as to the true in- terpretation of the laws bearing upon the subject and of being officially advised as to the proper course for the Department to pursue, under the circumstances, for the protection of the interests of the United States and the rights of honest, bona fide bidders. Under the interpretation of the law as it then stood but little, if anything, was left to the discre- tion of the Postmaster General. He had no au- thority to disregard the rule defined by the Attor- ney General, nor accept any other bid upon the list in place of the failing bidder, and his plain duty was to execute the law as he found it. That he and his assistants in the Department made every effort within the scope of their authority to detect and prevent fraudulent bidding, and that they honestly endeavored to perform their whole duty Jaith{ully and in the best interests of the govern- ment the evidence taken won leaves no room to doubt; and, while the prices paid for temporary services in some of the cases in which it became necessary to em- ploy them were higher than a portion of the lowest and probably irresponsible bids for the regular service of four years upon the same route; yet the testimony proved very conclusively that the temporary contract, the only one the Post- master General was then authorized to make, was uniformly given to the lowest bidder tor that kind of service, and that in no case was it awarded at a price in excess of what was belleved to be a fair and reasonable compensation for such service. The committee say if the bill which recently passed the House should become a law it will have the desired effect of preventing straw bidding, and further, that the uncontra- dicted evidence fully established the fact that no payments of money were made in any instances in advance of the service, nor until after the expira- tion of the quarter im which the work was done. Believing that while the com- binations for straw bidding have frequently been entered into by outside parties, the alleged abuses and irregularities have not existed and do not exist in the Post OMce Department, as charged in the preamble and resolution referred to by the committee; and being of opinion, after a very thorough examination of the whole question, ‘that the charges against the officers of that de- partment have not been sustained, the committee ask that the preamble and resolution be laid on the table, and that they be discharged from further consideration of the subject. This was agreed to. A Sunday of Legislative Labor in Com- mittee Rooms—The Unfinished Work. The House Committee on Appropriations were in session to-day considering the Senate’s amenu- ments to the bills making appropriations for sun- ary civil expenses and for rivers and harbors, so as to present their report to-morrow morning for vne action of the House. The only other general appropriation bill pending be- tween the two houses is that making appropriations for the Post Office Department, The Senate has appointed a committee wo confer with that to be appointed by the House on dis- agreeing amendments. The prospect is that the above mentioned bills will be definitively acted upon by bath branches to-morrow. The clerks were engaged to-day engrossing numerous Dilla and otherwise transacting business pertaining to Congress. During yesterday about fifty bills, most of them of a private character, were pre- sented to the President for his approval. The committee of conierence on the Geneva Award Distribution bill have not yet been able to agree, and the probability is that it will go over until the next session, With Many others of @ public charac- ter. The Closing Scenes of the Session. It is remarked by persons who have long been observers of closing scenes of Congress that the recent night sessions, though somewhat noisy, were less disorderly than heretofore towards the end of a session, Copious supplies of lemonade and iced tea wore furnished in the ante rooms. With the closing hours of Congress the determination and energy of the lobby grew stronger. Old and familiar faces are seen at the doors in earnest re- newal of appeals to Congressman to make final ef- forts in behalf of their claims for the last time, The lady lobbyists are not in great numbers, but are the most importunate, The Currency Bill Before the President.

It will probably pass with but Little discussion. Final Executive Session of the Senate.

A correspondent of the Petersbarg News, under* date of Garyaburg (N. €.), June 18, says :— Mr. Presson, a quiet, moffenstve citizen, Who hag been living at the Seaboard Railruad Bridge, which crosses the Roanoke River near Weldon, and haa _ been employed by that company as watchman of the bridge for nearly twenty-five years, and who also took charge of horses-ior persons who wished to visit Weldon, was called: out of his house last- hight, between nine and ten o’cloek, by owo negroes, wiio said they wanted to put their horses in his charge. He went tothe stable with them. A lew moments after one of the negroes returned to the house and told Mrs. Presson that Mr. Pres son wanted his pocketbook to change some money. She refused to sendit. In the meantime the Eeyore of @ gun was heard, and the negro de- parted, Shortly afterwards Mr. Presson came to the house, saying, “‘Corvelius shot me.’ There is a terrible wound in his neck, made With a musket loaded with shot and fred at shore range. The wound ts sufficiently large to insert a man’s hand in the cavity. He lived barely long enough to disclose the name of the perpetrators of the fiendish deed, They failed to get any money whatever, which was their only object. Two negroes—Cornelius Willams and Austin Hill—nave been arrested charged with the crime. They are generally be- lieved to be guilty, Williams submitted without an effort to escape, but Hill made violent efforts to elude his pursuers, and: there was a very exciting chase after him. Four pistol shots were fired at him—only one taking effect, that struck him in the left shoulder, inflicting a severe wound which ena- bled them to capture him. OBITUARY. Rev. John 8. Faleonnr.
