N VOL. VIL Batl- Scared Bourhons. The Sober Second Thought De- cidedly Adverse to General Investigation. Fears Entertained that Seyeral Very Prominent Democrats Might he Uspleasantly Iuvolved. A Legal View of Tilden's Rights From the Great Unknown, Several Important Bills Consid- ered by Congre! The Usual Variely of Miscel- lanesus News, THE FLOKIDA SCANDAL, SHALL WE INVESTIGATE ? Bpecial to Ciccinnati Inqwre: (Dem). Washington, B. C,, May 4 —What may be the plsus of the Florida %;flnl;gen, to uce a Ben Batler] —and—the munagers of movewmeni only know.” Eyen the emoke whfch was supposed to be be- bind the McLin confession seems to have died out, and but little is now #aid of the scandal except that there will eurely be an investigation. Rapublicans who, when the scandal was first sprung, were inclined to employ tactics to defeat sny inquiry 1nto the subject, now say they will iuterpose no obstacles to investiga- gaticn, but, it 1t is ordered, will nsist that it shall not be confiuned to Florids, but shall be made to cover the election in all the States. Itisbelieved that the desire which the Republicans now show for an investigation is 1nspired by the belief that they hav: facts which will show that the over- tures in the way of bargaining came from the Democrats; that they can prove that Mr. Hayes made noprog- osition for Southern support, and that it came from Senator Lamar; and that the first movement in th. Presidential ssle was a proposition from Bouthern members, presented in their behalf by Col. Roberts at the famous Columbus conference; that they 2an prove that die cele- brated Wormley conference was in- vited and sanctioned by this same influence; and that, in all the disgraceful bargaining _inol- dent tothe Presidential steal, Bouth- ern members were first to come for- ward with overtures. The Demo- crats have reason to believe that, if there is a thorough reopening of the question, one of their own party will be placed in a position which ‘will make explanations higuly nec- essary. While the campaign eapl- tal made by Mivestigation would be evidently more advantageous to the Democrats as a party than to the Republicans, yet they feel an ap- prebension, if the matter 18 probed 1o the quick, that there will be sev- eral distinguished Democratic hearts that will ache. Hence it is that, while the Northern Democrats are anxious for investigation, the same zeal is not displayed by their Bouthern colleagues. A LEGAE VIEW OF IT ‘Washington, May 7.—The Wash- iugton Post yesterdsy published a double-leaded editorial, the points > of which ure as follows. According to one of the most cultivated legal minds In the House of Representatives, there need be Do apprehension in the mind of any anti-Tilder Democrat that the in- vestigation of the Electoral frauds, even thougn it should result in the unseating of Hayes, could have the effect of installing the New Yorkre former in hisstead. The eminent Iawyer makes the following declar- ation: Under all laws governing successions under constitutional forms, a strict observance of these forms is requisite toa perfection of title. It s necessary that A PRESIDENT SHOULD TAKE THE OATH THE 4TH DAY OF MARCH, which, it is asserted, Tilden failed todo. His friends besought him to go through with the forms of taking the oathto perfect his title. Tilden at first intended to take the oath in & public manner, but abandoned the design 88 soon as he learned of Grant’s determination toarrest him on the charge of treason and throw him into Fortress Monroe as an in- stigator of sedition and robellion upon his appearance at the Capitol for that purpose. THAT GRANT WAS PREPARED FOR SUCH ACTION, and would have seized Tilden’s per- son, is well known to many of both parties, and that Tilden was re- strained by his knowledge of such a peril is equally notorious in private cirels ‘The comsequence is, that, if Hayes and Wheeler should be d posed, the sucoession would be ‘vacant, and the House would pro- ceed to elect, s if there had been no choice by the electoral college, the presiding officer of the Sen- ate discharging the duties of the Presidency simply ad interim be- tweeu the deposition of Hayes and the election by the House. BILLS AGREED UPON. The house commuttee on education and labor to-day agreed upon the bill meking it & misdemeanor for & master of a vessel to take more than fifteen Chinese passengers, male or female, to the United States after January Ist, 1879. The committee also agreed upon the bill authoris- ing distribution to public libraries of one copy of every document pub- lished for public distribution by congress, DANGEROUS COUNTERFEITS, of the denomination ot $100 on the Merchants’ National bsnk of Bed- ford, Mass., is in circulation in the ‘Western Btates.

In the counterfeit it does not touch the “f ” There is also another $100 counterfeit, supposed to be from the same plate, on Lhe Revere National bank of Boston. FOUR PER CENT SUBSCRIPTIONS The secretary of the treasury in- vites subseriptions to the four per cent loan upon the same terms as offered to the public in July, 1877, namely : Bubseribers, upon deposit of two per cent., will be allowed niety days to complete payment ; at the expiration of nluety days the bonds will be issued upon receipt of the remaining ninety-eight per cent principal and interest acerued to tbat date, and one-fourth of one per cent commission on all subser] for $1,000 and over will be -uo-nd OBSERVANCE OF NEUTRALITY LAWS.

CALLING IN FIVE TWENTIES. ‘The secretary of the treasury has oalled 1n $5,000,000 5 20 bonds on ac- count of four per cent subscriptions, CONGRESSIONAL. SENATE. ‘Washington, May 7.—Mr. Doreey, from the committee on appropria- tions, rdported the postoffice upp:o- priation bill with amendments. Piaced on ths calendar. Heo also reported back Mr. Max- ey’s amendment granting the Bra- gilisn subsidy for mail steamship service without recommendation from the same commiitee that i postoffice committee might sutm! it. ‘The senate by a vote of 83 to 25, agreed to the motion of Mr. Cock- rell to take up the house bill forbid- diog further retirement of Untted States legal tender notes and to read it asecond time. Messrs. Davis, Oglesby and Baun- ders voted aye Mesars. Allison, Kirkwood and Paddock voted nay. It was then read a second time and Mr. Morrill moved to refer it to the finance committee. Pending discussion the moruing hour expired and the consideratjon of the pension sappropriation bill was resumed. M. Bargent explained that he erred yesterday in the number of pensioners added to the rolls this year. 1t was 10,491, not 25,225, The pending question being on the amendment of the second sec- tion by a substitute making disabled wounded soldiers or their widows or orphans, pension agents after Janu- ary lst, 1879, Mr. Edmunds said this was contrary to the epirit of the Iaws for which the soldiers fought. It was engrafting lagislation upon appropriation bil's; that Vermont soldiers would scorn this method of tickling their fancy to get their votes, and he would oppose the whole thing. The Senate, by a vote of 38 to 16, then refused to adopt this substi- tute. Mr. Edmunds moved to strike out the eecond section of the bill which makee disabled Union sol- diers the ponsion agents immedi- ately upon passage of this bill. He said the true policy was to leave these matters to the President and his constitutional advisers. He had good reasons to believe they had not rlgh!lfllly exercised that reeponsi- bility during the past year. In consulidating the seven New Eng- Iand agencies into one, six soldiers had been discharged, and the civil- 1an retained. He was disposed to let the responsibility rest witn the President. Mr. wadleigh said the civilian was retatned because his office, be- ing at Concord was convenient to Maine and Vermont. Mr. Blaine denied that the Con- cord office was convenient; on the contrary it was most inaccessible. Mr. Voorhees favored directing the President to appoint soldiers to pension ageucies. It was appropri-- ate legislation. Mr. Edmunds’ motion to strike out was rejected—yeas 29, nays 39 The bill was then reported to the Senate, amendments of the com- mittee of the whole concurred in and it passed. Mr. Paddock submitted a resolu- tion requesting the President to fur- nish the Senate with information relative to the land grant subsidy to the St. Joseph and Denver City raflroad, the number of miles com- pleted, and whether 1t has been finished to the point of connection with the Onion Pocific designated on the plan in the Interior Depart- ment, etc. Agreed to. Mr. Allison called up the Indian appropriation bill, and in explana- tion said the committee on appro- priations had made very few amendments as it cime from the House. The amendments were un- imgortant. He moved the five minutes rule be applied to the dis- cussion of amendments. Agreed to. A large number of amendments reported by the committee on ap- propriations was agreed to. Also the amendment authorizing the committee on Indian affairsto em- ploy two special Indian agents at Isrge at a compensation not exceed- ing $2,000 each per annum sr. Maxey moved to amend the House bill 80 as to provide for the removal of the Nes Perces Indians of Joseph’s band to Idaho territory, instead of Indian territory as the House proposed. A long discussion ensued as to whether the Indians preferred to go to the Indian territory or back to Idaho, and what the Indian de- partment department desired in re. gard to them ete. Pending dwscussion the senate went into executive session, and when the doors reopened adjourned. HOUSE The House, immediately aftes the reading of the jonrnal resumed con sideration of the District of Colum. bia bill, with Mr. Thompson in the chair. Mr. Eden moved to make the government liable for 40 instead of 50 per cent of the District expenses. Defeated. * The amendment of the committee making the government pay inter- est on 8 65 bonds, but not muking it lhblo for the principal, was agreed Soma other amendments were re- Jected, and the bill passed without the yeas aud nays. Mr. Wood moved the House go into committee of the whole on the tariff bitl. A standing vote stood 79 to 80, but on the yess and nays being called the motion was agreed to, 109 to 108, which vote was se- cured by hunting up absent demo crats, amidst some excitement and changes from no to aye by Mesers, Eagan, Bouck, Patterson, Cole and Caldwell. The House then:went into com- mittee of the whole, Mr. Sayler in the chatz, on the tarift bill, and Mr. Banks spoke in opposition thereto Mr. Banks said if New England cotton manuiscturers were de- stroyed by legislation, as they might be, they would take the South with them. The outh in destroy- ing their manufacturers, were de- stroying their own power and posi- tion. What member from Texas or California would sssassinate the | wool interest of his State ly vnung for this ill? Mr. Wood quoted from M ?lpul ford’s .lmnm, showing tli :t divi- dends in Mr. nmu dle viot by woolen mills were nine tc seven- teen per cent. annually. Mr. Banks said the sar:e book showed dividends ot the oo'spanies in 1860 were large, growinr out of forethought of the manufx turers, who had laid in large st jlies of ootton at the breaking ou. of the late unpleasantness, but :vidends for 1876 averaged only 5 32-100 per cent. on an a-gregate capital of $£3,000,000, and 4 com- panies paid no dividend. 1le char. aoterized the proposition of the bill on woolen goods, aud which Mr. Wood spoke of asa gentle reduc- tion, as assassination of a most im- portant national industry. He finished his speech with an anec. dote which caused some merriment; and the committee rose and the Houee soon adjourned. THE NEWS.

Another negro was shot in the shoulder. The excitement was great and the people ware wild at the time. It is now quiet. Weldon, N. C., May 6.—The election of town commissioners was the occasion of a serious riot here this morning between whites and negroes. Both races had candidates in the field and great excitement prevailed. About 10 o’clock a riot began, and clubs, knives and pis- tols were used. Quite a number of persons were shot, cut and bruised. One negro will die, it is thought, and the injuries of several others are regarded dangerous. —————— The Minneapo) Minneapolis, May 6.—The work of excavating the ruins of the burned mills continues.

Cork Consti Timerick, ~April 16.—A Buckleys in being discovered as the true heirs of about £250,000 in Aus. who, & criminal, left this city some forty years ago. In Clare & poor shoergaker was aleo diecovered as ineflectual fires” before the latest case of ‘‘good luck.” Yesterday Mr. D. B. McCarthy, a native of Cork, architect, of Barrington street, recelved a letter signed ‘tr. A. Stanley, New rquare, Lincoln’s Ton,” informing him as follows: I am directed to inform you that the first installment of the O’Keeffe legacy has come to hand in your fayor for £500,000. The whole or the greatsr portion of the £5,000,- 000 left by the deceased will comato you, except the portion allstied to your brothers, about whica the crown willdecide.” Mr. MoCarthy received the mtimation with great equanimity and quiet thauk- fulpess that his first cousin, Charles Robert O'Keene, late of Allahabad, India, who died a bachelor, had left him such a eplendid fortune, which made him & millionaire five times repeated. The deceased parents of Mr. O’Keeffe resided in Cork, avd carried ou a respectable business there as general merchants. His father and mother had occasion to visit London, and there, contrary to all expectation, his mother was suddenly confined to a hotel, and gave birth to the founder of the col- oseal fortune. Botn Mr. O'Eeefe's parents died before he reached his majority. He had one brother and one sister, but both are dead. The brother died in Australia, to which he emigrated many years ago, and hus sister died in Cork. The chief heir in Liwmerick was often invited by the five-millionaire to go to India, but he had to decline the tempting offer :n consequence of a naturally delicate constitution, unfitted to stand the torrid zone. He had also to decline a similar offer from the deceased’s brothers to go out to Australia, to both of whom he stood in the relationship of first cousin, the motaers of the heir and the deceased being siaters. After a time spent in Cork with his father, and while yet only about 18 years of age, Mr. U’Keefe made his way to India., where he enlisted as a private soldier. Here in this new sphere of life, his old habits never forsook him. He studied men manners, but, above all, business. By assiduity and good conduct, he at last received a commission, but he did not retain it long, believing that commerce was his real forte. Nervice in the esst durimg the year 1842 naturally suggested to his mind that he could make money by engaging in the opium traffic and other great branches of trade carried on iu the east, and so he went into the opium Lnde, some sald as an agent of the East India company, others on his own account. Be this as it may, by closeattention to busi- ness and good luck he soon acquired a colossal fortune, which will aston- ish many & modern Ciceus—fve millions of money in ready cash, and an income of £150,000 from landed and other property! Mr. O'Keefle died, unmarried, in Febru- ary, 1876, when Messrs. Carrington & Whigley, of Calcutta, advertised for heirs, of which, apparently, there was no lack, no fewer than 175 applicants putting in claims as the next of kin of the deceased, but they were all put aside in favor of Mr. McCarthy, of Limerick, who has four brothers, esch of whom will come In for & twenty-fifth part of the money aud estate, but Mr. McCarthy will be the recipient of the great bulk of the fortune. The first intimation Mr. Me- Carthy had of deceased’s death ws through Mr. Maurice Lenthan, J. P., of the Lumerick Reporter, hand- | ing him & paper in which the heirs were advertised for. Mr. McCarthy at once placad his case as heir in the handsof Mr. [sasc Batt, mem- ber for the city, who, having inter- ested himself on Mr. McCarthy’s account, has had a good deal to do with <he recognition of the latter's claims as thereal helr to this im- menase property in conjanction with hisdrothers, Mr. McCartby being the eldest. The heir 1s a very in- dustrious and energetic man, and bas just completed the building of & terrace of houses on his own account, which he named Barrington terrace, when the letter, #On Her Majesty’s seryice” proclaimed to htm Lis un- precedented good fortune. His father is an independent farmer re- siding at Abbyfeale, where his mother died® and all the fawily are in comfortable or aven independeat circumstances. The heir served bis time in Cork, where he was borp, with the building firm of Messrs, Dickson and Taylor. At an estly age he started business for himseif in Newcastle West, and after sever- al years of close application to busi- ness was selected as architect to the ecclesiastical commissioners up to the period of the disestablishment af the Irnish church. Biuce then he has resided and carried on his buis- nees in Limeriok with Jaccustomep good business habits, and was 1 Teceipt of a competence, if not raore, MeCarthy has a family of ten young children. = ‘The Tuileries commission has re- solved to recommend restoration of that ruined palace at a cost of four million francs and appropriation of it to a museum of modern art. few | U. months lgal informed you of the | . 5x wonderful luck of the Limerick |y 8. trals, left to them by 'a poor boy, | 40, coupons...

GORTSCHAKOFF'S ILLNESS. London, May 7.—It seems to be the general impression that Prince Gortschakoft will not be able to re- sume the chancellorship. PRESENT ENDEAVORS are stated to be directed to securing such an understanding between England and Russia as will permit the assembling of the congress with- out a certainty of failure. To this' end direct communicats are passing between the two governments with & view of ascertaining what modifi- cations in Europe and Asia would render the Ban Btefano treaty ac- oeptable. ‘Ihe Journal de Bt. Petersburg says the proper interpretation to give to Count Schouvaloff’s visit to that city, 18 that the Anglo-Russian negotiations have entered a more precise phase. GREAT MISERY AND DESTITUTION prevails among the peasants of the Russian government of Kassan Viatks, Nijoii Novgorod, Perm and Simbrisk. A STRAW. The most important army corps in front of Constantinople is com. manded by an Englishman, Baker Pasha. Capt. Manthorpe, an Eng- lisman, second 1n command of the |'rurkish fleet, bas just received a ! decoration from the Sultan. PRIVATEERING. Attempts to create a scare about Russian privateers was done to affect underwriters, who continue willing to take any quantity of risks on British hulls at seven to ten shillinge. MUNITIONS. Twalve hundred Martini-Henry rifles have been ordered shipped to Maits immediately for the Indian A NATIONAL CONVENTION will be called in London to protest sgalnst war, should the government tike further measures likely, in the opihion of the liberals, to lead to war. The etatements of Northcote in the House of Commons last evening are regarded as reassuring, aud it is also theught that the visit of Count Schouvaloff, Russian ambassador at London, to Bt. Petersburg, cannot be otherwise than HOPEFUL TO THE CAUSE OF PEACE, s he can explain the temper and views of the English government and people more effectually than could be done in correepondence. The change in the public opinion of Raussia in a peacetul direction is sald to be very marked, and is the result of a recognition of serious conse- quences that would inevitably re- sulv from & new war. The Czar is porsonally directing negotiation with the sssistance of Baron Jam- ini. The Czar's predilections are entirely in favor of peace. BACK PAY. A Russlan correspondent writes from Cracow that the Ruasian gov. ernment is said to owe the compa- ny victuallng the army 20,000,000 roubles. The company must sus- pend unless paid immediatelp. A dispatch from Vienna says the %: | fnsurgents seem to hive disap bras . | Peared entirely from Maritza val th- | Jey, but it is ucknown that they have been driven or merely con- centrating to resist the large Rus- sian reinforcements.
