SENATE. National Associated Press. WasHINGTON, October 21.—In the senate to-day Mr. Sherman called up his resolution calling upon the secre- tary of the treasury fora copy of the Pitney report. Mr. Farley moved to amend the resolution by adding *‘a call on the testimony taken.’ Mr. Farley's niotion was rejected by a party vote, 2 to 23, Messrs. Davis, of Illinois, and Sherman voting no. Mr. Sherman’s resolution was then agreed to and at 12:45 p. m. the sen- ate went into executive session. CONFIRMATIONS, 'I'he senate, in executive session, to- day confirmed the following nomina- tions: Alva S, Alexander, ot Indiana, to be fifth anditor of the treasury. Postmasters—W. 'H. McLaughlin, St. Petersburg, Pa.; Coon, David City, Neb.; Oliver P. Temple, Knox- viile, Tenn. There were a Jarge number of mili- tary appointments, among them all the cadets who have graduated from the military schosl, “ = THE TREASURY PORTFOLIO. WasniNgron, October 21.—It is stated positively that the president, before going to Yorktown, tendered the treasury portfolio to ex-Governor Morgan, of New York, and up to this liour no answer has been received, al- though it may have come to hand, as the president has not had time to look at his mail. A reporter of: the Na- tional Associated Press called at ex- Governor Morgan’s office this morn- ing, and found him there. In answer to a direct question he said that he would consider it a breach of trust to give any information on the subject. If he had accepted, he thought the president would like to send it to the senate before it was kaown to any newspaper, and if he had declined it he thought the president would liketo have the opportunity to offer the position to some one else pefore it became publicly known. GUITEAU'S CASE, District Attorney Corkhill and Sco- ville, counsel for Guiteau, were i the " [ eriminal court to-day in reference to the case. Judge Cox said he would consult with counsel and appoint some one to assist the defense, To-day Judge Cox rendered a de- cision upon the request of Scoville to have the court sunimon witaesses for the defense. After reviewing the law recited by Scoville, the judge said he felt justitied in the decision that the court may summon the neces- sary witnesses for the defense, but reserved a decision as to the character and number of the witnesses necessary, Scoville, counsel for Guiteau, has received numerous replies from New York alone to his appeal for testimony as to Guiteau's insanity, and thinks he will be able to get all the witnesses he needs. He has received a letter from A. E. MoDonald, medical super- intendent of the New York city asy- lum for the insane, wondering how he got the idea of the doctors favoring the plea of insanity. Scoville re- plied that a fricnd had given him Dr. McDonald’s name as that of a useful witness, but had not intended to convey the idea that the doctor had offered to assist in the defense of the prisoner. The questions of the assisting counsel and the character and number of wit- nesses the court will summon for the defense are expected to be settled to- morrow. In regard to some pub- lished statements concerning the po- litical aspect of the case, Scoville, in reply, says: “I wish to say once for all that I have no information or be- lief that any statesman, pohtician or any other person than Guiteau him- selt had any intimation before the shooting that he contemplated the act. My position is simply that the fierce contest waged by the stalwarts against Garfield’s adminis- tration, with no such design of the ac- tors, resulted in worrying upon a deceased mind to the commission of theact. The crime of murder is not therefore charged against politicians. There is only a crime against the peace and welfare of society, which is made manifest in & causeless and bit- public duties and seeking to maintain his high prerogatives. LIFE OF GABFIELD TO BE PUBLISHED, Col. Rockwell has received the fol- lowing letter from Mi, Gartield,which is furnished the press for publication: Mextor, Ohio, October 21, 1881, — Dear Cor. RockweLr: Ttis my wish that an accouut of the life and an ap: propriate collection of literaturo, which remains of Gen. Garfield, be published aftor that careful consideration and preparation so manifestly necessary. To that end I request that you will at once, in some public manner, an nounco that it is my purpose to cause this work to be done at oarliest practicable time and of which due no tice will be given. Very sincerely yours, Lucreria R. GARFIELD. With regard to the foregoing, Col- onel Rockwell makes the following statement: So that thoso best ac- quainted with the great cavacity for the work and the vast versatility of Gen. Garfield, the ext¢nt, variety, and orderly arrangement of his intellec tual ostate may fully appr ciate its value, and believ- ing that the most enduring monu- ment of the late president must be crected upon the granite foundation of what he said and did and was, Mrs. Garfield proposes an affectionate and careful work in this direction. Such a monument, there- fore, illustrating a lite which cannot be written until the world was moved far enough from him to take in the great grandeur of his career and char- acter, may be expected only after matured and deliberate work, and as coming from Mrs. Garfield’s sanction and authority. TYNER. First Assistant Postmastor Gen- eral Tyner also called and saw the president privately. Post- master General James says he has asked Tyner to resign at President Arthur'a request, but he does not know that the resignation has yet been tendered. It is positive- ly known that Arthur has received a letter from Grant on the subject, and that Grant has telegraphed Tyner not to hurry his resignation.. It is semi- officially stated here that the first as- sistant postmaster general to-day re- signed, NO CABINET MEETING. No cabinet meeting to-day. dom, Lincoln, Hunt, James Kirkwood, however, called on president for a few moments each. PERMISSION GRANTED President Arthur and Secretary Kirkwood to-daygranted the necessary permission for the right of way forthe extension of the Chicago, Texas & Michigan Central and St. Louis & San Francisco railroads through the Choctaw Nation. These companies are building southwest to Texas and Mexico, and must pass through the Choctaw Nation's territory in order to complete their lines. The Choctaw council i8 now in session, and it is un- derstood are willing to grant the de- sired right of way, but it was neces sary for them to obtain the parmission of the secretary of the interior and president, as they have supervisory power over the Indian Nations. Win- and the HOWGATE'S CASE, Cuptain H. W. Howgate will plead to-morrow to the ndictment against him. The indictment numbers 74 counts, the witnesses being govern- ment clerks and minor officials who kept the accounts by which the ein- bezzlement was discovered. An in- dictment had been returned, and at the request of District Attorney Cork- hill and in the absence of counsel for the defendant the captain was called. His recognizance was forfeited and a bench warraut issued for his arrest. Subsequently Howgate's counsel ap- peared, expressed satisfaction, and Judge Cox reconsidering declared the bench warrant void. BACK FROM YORKTOWN, Loaded steambouts and trains from Ycrktown have been arviving all day Secretary Blaine reburned with Presi- dent Arthur, Assistant Secretaries Blaine and Hitt and Chief Clerk Brown remained with the foreign guests, and are in Richmond to-day. The Arlington hotel Tas been wired to have rooms for both the German and French visitors by to-morrow at 11 o'clock. The German visitors are to’ be sumptuously entertained by their countrymen in the District on Sunday. Governor Cullom and staff, of Illinois, start home to-morrow. NO NOMINATIONS THIS WEEK. President Arthur stated definitely to-day that e should submit no cabi- net nominations to the senate this week. This gives slate makers a new lease of life. A member of the official family of the president stuted this evening that he very much doubted if any cabinet nominations would be sent to the present session of the senate. He thinks that the presi- dent mtends to make no cabinec commorcial business he isin, No new namoes came to thd surface to day. Messrs. Frelinghuysen, Lincoln, Sar- gent, Tongstreet and Howe are gen erally conceded but 1o one seems to know when they will be disposed of THAT TREASURY INVESTIGATION, Tho troasuty investigation report, which is to go to the senate to-mor. document in itself, and will ympaniod by lengthy cards from Assistant Sccre tary Uptonand Chief Clerk Powor, in part explanation of certain points therein, Secrotary Windom says that if 8o much had not been said concern ing the report he doubts if any one would care to read it all, implying that it is not so very spicy after all, TYNER'S COMING REPORT, The coming report of First Assis ant Postmaster-Genoral Tyner will show that there are now 44,672 postoflices in the United States, an increase of 150 dnring the fiscal year, Of the total, 1,863 are presidential, an in creaso of 103, The number of money rder oftices in the United States is 5,100, of which Tllinois has the largest number. This will be submitted to Postmaster-General Jawes in a fow days and will be more interesting in connection with the prospecti nation of General ner, which has not taken place as reported this after noon. TYNER TALKS (feneral Tyner was spoken to this evening, and referring to his remark yesterday that he declined to speak about his removal until afier he had seen the president, said he could only say that he had a_protracted inter- view with the president to-day, which was adjourned to to-morrow day. He was informed that there was a current rumor to-night thas % had left his resignation in the hands of the president at the close of thisin- terview. “That,” said Tyncr, “'is not so.” He further added that he would be at the department to-morrow in charge of his duties as first assistant postmaster general. REPORTED FAVORALLY. The nomination of ex-Marshal Dnd- ley, of Indiana, a8 commissioner of pensions, was favorably reported to the senate in executive sossion to- day and went over under the rules. His friends say that all opposition has been withdrawn and he will be con- firmed to-morrow. ENTRY OF COAL LANDS. Secrotary Kirkwood to-day decided in regard to the entry of coal lands near railroads and the price to be paid 1 such cases, that the price of land should depend on the disfance from a completed railroad at the date of entry. If more than 15 miles the price should not be less than $10 per acre, and if within 15 miles, not less than $20 per wn. This decision is made to meet cases that may arise where the original claim is made be- fore the construction of the railroad within the above limit, and when pay- ment i3 made before the 'mgaplatiun of e road. . LAND COMMISSIONER'S REPORT. Land Commissioner MacFarland’s report, to bu submitted to Secretary Kirkwood next week, in referring to the land actof Maren 3d, 1879, which permits surveys being made upon rep- resentations of intercsted parties, and through which frauds are alleged to have been committed, says that un- settled tracts have evidently been largelysurveyed on applications fraud- ulently prepared by or through the instigation and management of a dep- uty sheriff, or those who have reim- bursed themselves by assigning certi- ficates of survey. He rccommends the repeal oftheact and the substitution of a remedial one as soon as possible. A SECRET CONFERENCE, Gieneral Grant reached here this af- ternoon and went direct to € Beal’s. At 8p. m. Gen. Beals carriage were driven with Senator Logan’s, where the Illinois senator and Senator Cameron entered it and were driven to thé house on the hill, where they were joined by Senators Allison and Edmunds These five gentlemen were closeted with President Arthur unti} after | night and no one else was admitted. During the evening a consultation on the cabinet was certainly held though the result is not expected to becouie apparent beforo to-morrow or Monday. i CRIME. Natlonal Associated Press, Memenis, October 21, —Gillen Waters, who murdered his room mate in Arkabulah, Miss., and after- wards captured, taken out and shot nine times by a mob, has made his escape from jail. When in the hands of the mob he made what was thought to be a dying confession, but since recovering he has broken jail and no trace of him can be found. changes until compelled to, which means until vacancies oceur. The same person expects Windom to remain in for a while, even after ho may be elected to the senate, since his credentials could scarcely reach here before theadjourn- merit of the United States senate, and since his term then would not neces- sarily begin until December next. This program is advanced on the the- ory that the president being alike anxious tc retain James temporaril, and give the treasury to New Yur‘ym finally. He hopes Windom will re- main long enough for the star route cases to be disposed of and the difti- culty be th bridged. Win- dom, however, stated to-day that such a program has not even been of- fered, but the president is thought to be holding the purtfolio for him only if Morgan will not accept it, In re- gard to the latter there have been two exactly opposite rekuru here to-day, One came from & New York gentle- man to the effect that Gov, Morgan was settling up his private business preparatory to accepting the sec- retaryship of the treasury. The other is to the effect that he had written to the president declining to accept a po- sition in the cabinet because it would ter fight against a president elected by a people in the discharge of his be impossible at present for him to sever his connection with his large SENTENCED TO BE HUNG, CARROLLTON, ‘Ga., October 21— James C, Harvey and William Moon were yesterday sentenced 10 be ha ed at this place on the 9th of De r, Orrawa, Ont, October 21,—Da- mase Bennett and David Prevost, found guilty of the murder of Fierre Bennett, uncle of the first named, has :uan sentenced to be hanged Novem- er 30, CONFESSED, Corumaus, 0., October 12, — Harris Wiltson, a convict in the penitentiary, who confesses to havo murdered his sister in New York, September 2, 1879, was received from Cuyahoga county, in February last, under a two years’ sentence for forgery.

King is now at Chippewa Falls. His balloon landed 65 miles up the river from this point last Fri- day. Cuicaco, October 21. he Daily News this afternoon has a thrilling account of the adventures of Prof. King and Signal Oflicer Has- haged in thetr balloon voyage. The story is briefly summarized s foi- lows: Five minutes after leaving the ground at Chicago they reached an alutude of 4,000 fe They first moved southwest, bu ttle later as- cended into the upper current and moved west, afterward goivg northwest. They hung susporded and swinging in a circle for three hours over a place they supposed to bo Peorin. Fri day morning they found themselves in Wisconsin, and trailed their drag rope over a number of houses at Spring Valley, whero a man came out and fired a shot at them. They then passed over Platte Mounds, wherethey were beld for half an hour, being finally forced to throw out ballast to escape the mounds. In paseing over Little Falls, Wis,, they came so near ground that they struck the trees and took a large portion of one along as asouvenor. They then rose 9,600 feet in the air and went through a sovere rain_storm, which wet them through and through. The last man spoken to had told them they were forty miles from St. Paul and they finally concluded to land coming to the bank of a river which they supposed to be the Mississippi. They were dropped in a cranbery bog and spent days in aimloss wanderings without food, sleeping in the woods, when thoy finally found themsolves on the banks of the Flambeau river and were taken in_charge by two hunters who piloted them to Chippewa Falls, The Man Who Wanted Gold.

GLADSTONE'S GYRATIONS. LonpoN, October 21.—Mr. Cowen, in an editorial in The Newcastle Chronicle, says: ‘‘Not so many years ugo, Mr. Gladstone wrote «av»fallows: “The prisoners in the kingdom of Naples, arrested and imprisoned with- out due legal process were in vast pro- portion not_tried at all, and when they were tried were so badly treated by exceptional and not regular tri- bunals, that when they were con- demned they were condemned not by the free verdict of a popular body, but by the sentencesof judges de- pendent upon the govermment for their bread, a government moreover whose power rested on flagrant breaches of a written legal constitution of the country.” The prime minister in his time played many parts, but oven those familiar witlh his gyrations were not, perhaps, aware of the rapid transformation of his opmions on the treatment of polit- ical prisoners. It is true that the men for whom he pleaded years ago were strangers ata distance whereas, those he now imprisons are follow country- men a near distinction may reconcile the difference with which cases are treated to the sublime and versatile intellect of Mr. Gladstone, but to plain men it is not so apparent. AN ADDRESS TO AMERICAN LEAGUES. New Yonk, October 21,—The fol- lowing address will be issued to-mor- row from the office of The lrish World to branches of the land and industrial leagues of this country: To the Irish National Land and Industrial Leaguey of America: Brorugrs: English despotism has outlawed the land league, but the spirit of the wrganization is inde- structible. The movement canuot be 'HED, suppressed.

Railrond Traffic Suspended for the Prosent. Onreaco, October 21.—Advices this morning from Quincy indicate that there is no material change in the sit- uation along the river at that point, excepting that the flood is steadily advancing, the rver having risen seven inches in the past 24 hours. The Hannibal & St. Joe, the Qumcg, Missouri & Pacific and the St. Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern tracks,fon the Missouri side of the river, are un- der water, and all trains are aban- doned for the present. A break is reported in the Indian grave levee, sixteen miles above: Quincy, but the cravasse is not serious, the backwater from Quiney bay having already flooded a wide extent ofi eountry ex- tending several miiesito the north of Quincy along the Sny. The destrue- tion is complete, the water from the crevasse west of Rockport gradually extending and inundating the fine farming country protected by the em- bankment. Last night tho Sny lovee broke at a point seventeen miles below East Han- nibal, and the water is pouring in and backing up over the bottom lands. Unless there is a speedy fall the water may be expected to cover all the lowlands back of the levee as far up as East Hannibal, The break in the levee is said by Levee Commissioner Murray to be 200 feet. in width, and the water, being almost. to the top of the levee embankment, is pouring through with a roar and a rush that can be heavd for miles. No definite estimate of the losses can yet. be obtained, but the corn still re- maining on the bottows will be almost totally destroyed. The levee above this place is still unbroken, but at one point nearly opposite is sloughing oft™ and hourly growing weaker. The river here has risen eleven inches in the last twenty-four hours, and is now: but two feet below the high water mark of 1851, This is higher than it has been since that meworable year. Railroad tracks are all under water and traflic is nearly at a standstill. At Davenport, Towa, thec Missis- sippi river only lacks seventeen inches of the height reached by the great flood of June, ¥880. The streets noar the river are badly flooded, and travel on some of thems impossible. In one place the street cars are running in water a fooh deep. Sidewalks are aftoat and tied wllmulen by ropes.
