Va.) offered aresolu- tion directing the committee on mili- tary atfairs to inquire into the expe- diency of increasing the appropriation for the encouragement of the militia. Carried. Mr. Teller moved to take up the bill tq pension Mrs. Garfield. Mr."Edmunds said that the lady was not in a state of destitution, and there was 1o reason why the bill should be considered out of its regular place. After debate the senate refused to consider the bill by a vote of 21 yeas to 28 nays. The bill to restore Captain Mark S, Weiler to the army was taken up Senator Ingalls said that the action of President Hayes in pardoning so many officers who had been court tialed on account of drunkenness had done more to demoralize the morale | and discipline and to degrade the ser- vice than a hundred defeats in battle could have done. Mr. Bayard introduced a resolution instructing the committee on foreign affirs to inquire whetner, in view of the extensive publication of the al- leged conrracts relative to the guano and nitrate deposits of Peru, any bonds for stipulations with Chili and Peru had violated by any officer of the United States government and whether any executive officer of the government was in any way interest- ed in such contract. At the suggestion of Mr. Edmunds, who said_he had a resolution on the same subject but of much broader scone, the resolution was referred. Mr. Van Wyck addressed the sen- ate on the subject of land grants to railroads. : At the conclusion of Mr. Van Wyck's address Mr. Allison, of the appropriations committee called up the immediate deficiency bill and. of- fered certain amendments thereto among which was one appropriating 820,000 in addition to the house bil), to pay the mileage of army officers in traveling around the country. After debate the immediate deficiency bill was passed with the amendment re- poried by the committee and Senator Ferry’s amendment increasing the ap plication for additional clerk hire in postoffices from 875,000 to 8150,000§ On motion of Mr. Miller (Cal.) the Chinese bill was taken up and made first business in order after the morn- ing hour.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE, Mr. Belmont offered a resolution in- «quiring into the alleged abstraction of papers trom the state department and the making of contracts in Paris re- garding Peruvian affairs, in which reference was made to the United States diplomatic service and certain concession to be made by Peru. Mr. Kasson offered as a substitute a resolution directing the foreign com- mittee to inquire into the allegation that one or more plen Egtnulinrien of the United States have been connected with business affiirs in which the in- tervention of the government was ex- pected; also to inquire into the alleged abstraction of papers from the state department. The substitute was accepted by Mr. Belmont and was adopted. The house spent the entire day on rivate bills, ‘passing bills granting ck pension to the widow of Gen, Alex.

As they neared the siloon they began firing through the plate-glass (1) front of said building, terrifying the proprie- tor and demolishing the bar fixtures. As the track was cleared for a ‘‘night and the way the forty-rod whisky was disposed of was a caution. After filling themselves too full for utter- ance, they again commenced firin!(, fill- ing the walls 8o full of lead that it had the appearance of a first-class fortifi- cation with eolid breastworks. An inventory was then taken, and it was found that out of 1,200 bullets 360 still remained. Accordingly a vote was taken, and it was unanimously decided to take in another supply of whisky and then continue firing until a round thousand shots were reached. The only convenient thing to shoot was the stove-pipe, and they opened fire on the same, filling it so full of holes that it refused to do service any longer. The stove, being full of green wood, of course smoked the midnight marauders out of the building, and they repaired to the depot, where they boarded the morning train, con- tinuing to fire from the rear platform of the hind car until well out of town.

READY FOR THE NEXT CAMPAIGN, Curcaao, February —A Springficld (T11.) special says: A cu- rious piece of political information has como fairly to the surface in cer- tain circles here, which 18 of more than ordinary interest. 1t is well known that all the speculations touch~ ing the, probable candidacy of Samuel J. Tilden for the presidential nomina- tion in 1884 have been so veiled in tho customary mystery of Cipher Al- ley as to convey but slight evidence of certainty to the public. But the poligeal centre of Ilinois at this mo- moent contains the first really substan- tial evidence that the old fox is in the field. In the - course of a private and very confidential conversation between two intimate political friends of ex-Gover- nor John M. Palmer within the past fow days, a disintorested bystander overheard the rvemark that the ex- vovernor had just received a lotter from Mr. Tilden couveyiug the infor- mation that the latter, after frequent conferences with the ablest ot his democratic advisors and friende, had consented to become a candidate for the democratic nomination mn 1884, upon the condition thatGovernor Pal mer would consent to stand for the second place. The gentleman referred to stated that Mr. Tilden had written very fully and apparently very freely that “he recognized Mr. Palmer as probably the ablest representative of democrats in the west, and that he be- lieved the ex-governor's popularity among the colored people would ren- der it impossible for the republicans to hold the negro vote against a ticket which bore his name. Th friends m nuoued were evidently de- lighted with tue 1aea that *‘the gov- ernor looks cautiously but favorably pinthepepageition, . ap dhay exgrestod When approached by a re, for o statement in regard to the matter Governor Palmer gave evident signs of embarrassment, and made several attempts to avoid the subject. When pressed to say something either nega- tive or affirmatively, he answered: ‘““Now you must remember that I have not committed myself in any way whatever.” *‘Then, govermor,” asked the ro- orter, “might I say that you deny aving received such a ecommunica- on and proposition as I have men- tioned?” “You will remember that I have not committed myself. That is all,” was his reply. Quite a li‘tle circie of the governor's. most trusted advisors ave i posses- sion of the secret and there can be no possible doubt that he has received. such a letter from Tilden and that its cogtents are in subatance as stated above. A particular friend of the governor's was asked if he thought an angwer had been sent to Tilden.
