His remarks impressed the house with the fact that ihe committee intended to press the pending bill at this session. It was finally agreed that the bill should come up, t{u onderstanding being that it ‘would not involve much discussion. A number of resolutions were adopted, authorizing the publio print- er to send, free of cost, a copy of the congressional record to each of the representatives of the Urited States, was allowed. A bill was introduced by Mr. Ward, of Pendsylvanis, to suthorize the ap. polntment of an assistant secretary of 'War, On motion of Mr. Wood the pesd- ing bill was ordered to be reprinted.

Me. Kiefer, of Ohfo, was then rec- ognized, and made an’ hour's speech in opposition to the joint resolutiod His argument was that there was no neceesity for it, as the constitution, in his opivion, settl-d the mauner in which the vote should be ‘ counted.

This firm were the largest operators in coffee in the country, aud was established in 1828. Their unsecured liabilities are placed at $900,000. The failure is attributed to vast specalations in cof- foo, and to the subsequent shrinkage in that article.

Philp's Accomplice. Special Dispatch to Tho Beo. New York, December 8—1 a. m. —The announcement made yesterday that detectives had located in Brook- Iyn one of the men who is supposed to have had a hand in the preparation of the Morey letter, created a great sensation. The mysterious person was said to have been connected with an evening paper In Brooklyn, and suspicion pointed to The Eagle. The only resignation that has taken place trom the staff of any Brooklyn paper since the announcement of the discov- ery of the Money letter, was thst of Stau'sy Huntley from The Eagle. Huntley is a bright young man and a versatile writer. He was an intimate friend of Philp, and among his nu- merous accomplishments is the art of imitating the style of various writers. It is known that he wrote to a certain western paper implicating Philp, snd also that a sudden estrangement sprung up between the two immedi- atelyafter. A detective employed in the Morey letter case, said yesterday that the opinion was held to by sever- al prominent parties that both these men are concerned iu the forgery. Examinations of the Morey letter, since its exhibltion in court, by the aid of the Drummond light and a powerful photographic apparatus, have led to some remarkable disclosures, Tt appears that no less than three dif- ferent namas have been written on the envelope.

A Spioy Letter from “Mazeppa” Buckingham Concerning Her Recent En- gagement in Omaha. Covunsus, Neb., Dec. 4, 1880. To the E litor of the Bes. Dear Srm:—Will you please give space in your valusble jeurnal to this letter, 3o that I may be atle to ex- plaia to the public the cowardly treat- ment I have been subjected to at the hands of Danfel A. Griffin, the so- callel manager of the Academy of Music in your city. I came to Omaha under contract to him to play an_ engagemeet of four nights and one matinee, he to furnish house, comblaation, printing, ete., and give me 25 per cent. of the gross receipts. He falsely represented that 1 was plsying under the aus- pices of the Grand Army of the Re- public, and that the seats were selling at $2a plece. Such being the case, it would suit me very well to break my jump to San Francieco, and prove quite a remunerative engagement for me. Tarrived on last Sunday morning, according to contract, for rehearsal, when Mr. Griffin called on me at the Withnell house, and informed me that the company he had selected to support me were mostly church mem- bers, and consequently we would have to defer the rehearsals until Monday morning. On going to the Ac-dem{ for rehearss) Monday morning, there learned that I was to be sup- ported by the amateurs of Omaha, and that their daily duties would not per- mit them to be present for rehearsals. T thereupon informed Mr. Griffin that it would be impossible to produce the drama, when he volunteered to pay the charges on my horse and traps, and give me forty per cent of the gross recelpta instead of twenty-tive. After T had sgreed to give the entertain- ment, bat to postpone my opening un- til Taesday night, my husband asked how much paper he had pat up, and Grifin answered that the town haa been well billed. When, on going to our hotel, s gentleman said our paper was still in the express office, aud that Griffin bad not taken any of it out. ‘Whea called to account about this, he took_the paper out, and sent it to Mr. Lyon, ths bill-poster. Mr. Lyon refused to put it up, stating that Grifiin had refused to pay him money due, and that he would hold the pacer was paid. The printer in The | building also claimed that Griffin was in his debt, and refused to print any matter until he was paid. My husband, Mr. Pettil, explained to the above gentlemen our dilemma, and finally prevailed on them to put the paper out. Then came my struggle to rehearse the drama with only half the com- y preseat. God and myself onl e during my ef- fort to acquaint them with the parts they were to play. All present at the attempted rehearsals seemed to fully realize that I had been victimized by Griffin, and were loud in their con- demnation of him, and more than willing to assist me to the best of their ability, for which I sincerely thank esch and every one of my sup- that it would be a lony time ere he wonld undertake to rob another wo- mah as he has doné me. God sparing mo my life, on my way home 1 will make it & point to étop in Omsh sattle this mattsr to my ofitite atis- faction, but fearlng my many warm friends may censure me tor being di honest and tricky, I ask you to pub- lish my statement in full, and will deem it forever a lasting favor.
