WasiiNaron, January 11.—In pre- senting a potition of the women of Kansas Senator Ingalls said he “did not understand why the petitions should be presented all together in- stead of being sent around to the desks of the senators, but as one had been placed on his desk he would con- tribute his part to the farce, Mr. Plumb asked that his portion be laid on the table to await the ap- pointment of the select committee. Messrs. Call, Hawley, Platte, Mit- chell and Blair made similar requests. Senator Morgan presented a poti- on from the Omahas who had taken rorked farms on the Omaha res ervatt wn, asking the confirmation to them of tho titie of their land Mr. Dawes made aspeech the administration of Indian affuirs for the failure to do this before, ac cording to the treaty of 18Gi. An avalanche of petitions from tem- perance societies was presented, signed by thousands of citizens, asking for a commission to regulate the liquor traftic. In presenting one from the ‘Christian Women’s Temperance union, | Mississippi, Senator George mo the appointment of a select commit but several points of order were raised and the motion went over under the rules. All the smaller petitions were referred to the finance committee. The bill for the relief of Warren Mitchell was reported on adversely by the committec on claims. The bill has frequently been before the senate and has been a source of hot par: debate. Mr. Anthony, from the naval com- mittee, reported a bill to prohibit na val ofiicers unfitted for promotion be- cause of drunkenness from being placed on the retired list. Mr. Voorhees introduced a bill tor the repeal of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad land grant. Mr. Morgan offered a resolution di- recting the committee on woman suf- frage to iuvestigate the subject of suf- frage in Utah and report to the senate annulling any law of that territory conferring the right of suffrage on momen. . Ta:d vver by ths rules. Mr. Vest in his speech assailed the republican party for the legislation which brought national banks into existence, and which enabled them to make enormous profits on their capi- tal, for demonetizing silver, and for the veto of the bill of last year which would have saved $15,000,000 in the public debt. He also quoted from Senator Sherman’s speeches iu 1874 when he urged the compulsory clause in the funding act. Mr. Sherman followed in explaya- tion of some points in Mr. Vest's speech, and claimed that the law of 1870 had contributed more to the financial prosperity of the country than any other case. He explained his advocacy of the compulsory clause in 1874 on the ground that the burdens upon the people were 80 great that repudiation was threat ened and he felt that the banksshould bear a share of the burden. No such exigency 18 expected now and he de- sired to say to the banker and to the widow with her scanty savings, ‘‘You may not fear; you may take the bonds.” He ridiculed the idea that the national banks throttled the bill of last year and said there was nothing so reat a coward as money ; every threat of the bill had caused a number of banks with an aggregate of $16,000,- 000 capital to go out of business. He further declared that President Hayes’ veto was a blessing, for had | not the bill become a law the bonds could not have been floated, for there | had not been a day since when thel eondition ot the money market would have made them at par aid as the secretary could only have offered 1| per cent bonds we would have been paying 6 and per cent: whercas, under the present law the bonds had | beon refunded at 3} per cent. | Mr. Garlund obtained the floor and | yielded to Mr. Logan for a motion for an executive session. The daors soon re-opened and at 4:15 p. m. the senate adjourncd. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE, Mr. Orth presented a resolution that the committee on civi reform be mstructed to inquire into and report upon the expedicice of providing some better than the pres- ent mode of appointing house com mittees. Referred to the committee on rules. Orth objected and asked it be re ferred to the civil service reform com- mittee. The chair said the rules demanded the reference he had made and Orth could move for any references he de- sired, which he did, and the motion | was declared not carried. Orth was not satistied and called for division, resulting in ayes nays 85 He ELEVENTH YEAI | Mormons are | of the news from New Orleans to-day R dlowed on the congross, After call of the committees, Mr, Burrows presented a bill, providing that no bizamist or polygamist Shall be allowed to become a member of the home.

Scn- ator Miller, of New York, has received a letter from Gen. Grant, requesting him to withdraw his (Grant’s) namo from the Nicaragua canal bill as one of the incorporators of the proposed canal company. He puts the request upon the ground that this is not the time to press the Nicaragua scheme. De Lesseps is at work upon his canal and Capt. FEads proposes a ship railway.

Sco- ville, the attorney for the defense in the Guiteau t , have created a gen eral desire to know as much as possi- | ble about the man who has been be- fore the public gaze so prominently. The reputation iven to Scoville was complimentary and his alleged hon wsty of purposo and purity of motives which actuated him to undertake the tinous a criminal | have naturally engendered & sympa thy for the man who thus |braved public exceration. How | deserving he is of commondatory mention may be judged by a glance the statements which follow. Tl were any number of rumors reflecting upon Mr. Scoville. The victims of the man preferred to remain quict and undemonstrative to courting no- toricty. When sought out, however, they freely told the stories of their Wwrongs. Mr. John Stoelzel, who lives at No. 60 Fulton street, is about the worst sufferer, as the loss of sometling over over 81,000 through Scoville's trickery placeg him in rather deplorablo finan- cial condition. When asked if he knew Scoville, and if he had ever had any business transactions with him Mr. Stoelzel replied: Do T know him? Only too well. He is a devil in human form. Scoville had been my ]?\'\'nr for twenty years, and a 1 besides. He was a shining light fu the Methodist church, and often was called on by brother Thomas to preach. T did not think my business conld be confided to bet- ter bands, and he became my trusted attorney. He acted in the most scoundrelly way. 1 sofd a piece of property on Indiana avenue to Judge Anthony for $7,000, payable £1,000 cash and the balance on time, The last_payment made to me by Judge Anthony was in the shape of a note for $1,235.33. The note was made payable one year after date, but Judge Anthony failed to take it up. Sco- ville came to me and offered to collect it, saying he would compel the Judge to pay, and suggested that two hoiva be taken instead of ono. gave;Scoville the note for collection, and as time went on without my re- ceiving the money, I inquired about it Scoville sid the notes had been placed in the First National bank for collection. The cashier said that the, only notes that he knew of that de- | seription were two payable to the or- der of Scoville, and that they had been paid the day before. Judee Anthony was the maker of these notes and we inquired of him about the matter. He stated he had made the notes payable to Scoville, as he had understood from Scoville that T wanted {it s0. 1 atterwards asked Scoville for the money, but failed to get it. He made repeated promives of restitution, but finally said he did not intend to reimburse me. He then went into bankruptey at Milwaukee and of course I lost all.” “Did he ever peremptonly refuse to pay you ! ““Yes,"” ““Had you owed him any money as attorney’s fees I didn’t owe him anything He simply had the notes_for collec- “Did you e r have any other disa tion with him 7' “Well, this house T am now living in was mortgaged to Mr. David Fer- vis for 8800 and Scoville was the trastee. 1 needed the money Judge Anthony owed me to take up that morteage and so informed Seoville af- ter e had pocketed the funds.

He lied about the amount and lied about its being borrowed, It was simply stolen, He failed for $85,000, and T have never heard of lus paying a soli- tary cent. My son sent that schedule with an explanatim to Mrs, Garfield last week.” “Did you ever take any steps to re cover your money from him? ““Yes, T first went to John Scam- mon, who said the offense was an in- able one, but for some won he ‘4 heard that Stoelzel did not get the money. ; Mr. David Ferris rverides at | 5 Warren avenue, ‘I hav good cause to remember Scoville, He cheated me out of £10,000, He was ny attorne after wy wife's | death he order from th urt to sell a f ch had belonged to her.
