January 22, — Postmaster General Gresham has sent circulars to postmasters saying he has re- forred to Judge Drummond, of the fed- errl court of Chicago, for decision the question whether postmasters are en- titled to commissions on money order business when the work in connection with it is done by clerks, and not by the postmasters personally. The decision will be based on the case of the post- master at Bloomington, Ill. The attor- uey general recently decided that clerks being government employes, postmasters had no right to this money, and must re- fund. The question is complicated and affects many - postmasters and ex-post- masters, some of whom- are now insol- vent, and the government would have to look‘ to their bondamen n.fd the opinion of the attorney generalgis adopt- ed by the postoffice dfim’m- Judge Drummond’s decision will probably gov- ern the action of the department. Pend- ing a decision the postmaste. general in- forms postmasters affected that their cases will not be Pulhed. v POTTER'S BOND B ¥ The preposition ofy. Representative Potter, of New York, td, substitute two per cent twenty-five year bonds forbonds now in existence, was discusged by the house committee on‘banking and curren- cy t-day, but no vote was taken, = Repre- sentative Hunt offered a aae tion de- claring that the public welfare- ands that the benefits of the national banking system be substantially preserved for the time being. No action was taken. Con- siderable opposition has been manifested to the bill introduced by Mr. Buckner, to issue treasury notes without a legal tender quality to take the place of bank notes going out of existence. A member expresses the opinion that it will not re- ceive the approval of a majority of the committee. MATSON'S PENSION BILL. Commissioner Dudley, of the pension bureau, was before the house committee on invalid pensions to-day, and ex- pressed his views relative to Represent- ative Matson’s bill, providing for a revis- ion of the pension laws by a commission of five persons, not more than three of whom shall be members of one po'itical party, and not less than three honorably discharged volunteer soldiers. Commis- sioner l'udley recommends that the commission consist of eight members; two senators, two representatives, the commissioner of pensions, the medical reforee of the pension bureau, one sur- geon, one lawyer. The committee in- formally discussed the feasibility of abol- ishing discriminations on account of rank in fixing pensions. PRESIDENTIAL DISABILITY. Senator Hoar reported favorably from the committeo on judiciary his bill to provide for the performonce of the duties of the office of president in ca e of the removal by death, resignation or inabil- ity of hoth the president or vice-presi- dent. It provides that in such case the office shall devolve upon a member of the cabinet, the highest in rank, beginning with tho secrctary of state, provided such ofticial is eligible to the office under the constitution, and the person thus selected shall hold the office until the disability of tho president or vice-president is re- moved or a president elected, It pro- vides also for the convening of con- gress twenty days after the office has devolved on such person NOTES, Hugh J. Dobbs, of Nebraska, has been nominated for register of the land oftice, at Beatrice, Nebraska. The senate committee on military af- fairs has ordered the bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter, reported favorably, Senator Dawes to-day reported favor- ably from the committee on Indian af- fairs a bill to provide agricultural lends for the southern band of Ute Indians in that part of Utah known as the Unitah reservation in licu of lands heretofore rovided for allotment to them on the g.u Plata river and vicinity in Colorado and New Mexico. Mr. Reagan's inter-state commerce bill was discussed in the house committee on commerce this morning. An amend- ment making the bill applicable to all common carriers engaged in the trans- portation of property from one state to another whether by land or water, was disagreed to. Consideration of meas- ures of retailiation against France and Germany were postponed to the next regular meeting. The secretary of the Mississippi river couvention has already received the nawmes of 350 delegates selected to attend the meeting here on February 15. THE VORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, SENATE. WasniNGrox, January 22,—Mr. Cam- eron (rep. Wis.) from the committee on Indian affairs reported adversely a num- ber of petitions asking the opemmng of the Oklahoma lands for settlement. Mr. Hoar (rep. Mass.) introduced a bill, the objectof which is to prevent the circulation n the mails of this country of lottery advertisements coming from foreign countries. At the conclusion of the morning business Mr. Anthony's (rep. R. 1.) reso- lution relating to the prohibition of American pork by France and Germany was called up and Mr. Beck (dem. Ky.) proceeded to address the senate. Refer- ring to discriminations against our coi- meree by France through the tarriff, Mr, tion was effected, nearly eve article of American manufacture including cotton{rivers and i and woolen goods was absolutely vrohib- ited from entering the ports of France. The modification then was an improve. ment, but still 1t leaves American manu- factures substantially prohibited while in the case of the trade of England and Germany with France there are treaties by which a_general tariff of 10 per cent operates. This gives England and _Ger- many so much advantage over the United States in trade relations with France as to amount to a practical prohibition, be- cause our goods cannot compete in France with those countries. The sug- gestion of retailiation against the foreign governments would only have the effect to injure American commerce, Mr. Beck continued: ‘*Our manufac- tures have been excluded for years from France. Why did we not want retalia- tion then? Because our manufactures were not seeking foreign markets. If we exclude German and French wines it will reduce the demand for our alcohol, and the complaint will then be heard we cannot sell our aleohol or our hogs. What I desire is a thorough investigation of the whole subject of discrimination, whether by tarifl or otherwise. We by our tariffs prohibited these foreigners trading with the United States, and they exercise a similar right in refusing to allow us to trade with them. France re- ceives imports from the Gierman nation, between which and herself there are strong differences of national feeling, but she does this because it is for her in- terest to do so.” Mr. Logan (rep. Ill.) did not under- stand that the sort of legislation referred to was injurious to our own interests, He was in favor of giving the president the power to exclude foreign wines or other articles which, on examination, are declared injurious, on the very prin- ciple that France and Germany excluded our meats. The meats of America are the most healthful in the world, more so than those of France and Germany. Tn justice to ourselves we should exclude foreign adulterations while foreigners exclude our meats. Mr. Miller (rep. N. Y.) did not think the senate prepared now to say we should enter upon a course of absolute retalia- tion. Senators should not act hastily. The senate would not say at this stage of information whether the claim of Ger- many was not honestly entertained. Mr. Logan thought congress ought to pass a general law authorizing the presi- dent to protect American interests, when congress is not in session, against embargoes laid on our exports by foreign countries. . 3 Mr. Maxey (dem. Tex.) said if we start out with retaliation we do not know where it may end. It may end on wheat or cotton. We should not assume that these foreign nations would falsify facts and therefore in proposing retaliatory legislation we should make sure of the facts. The resolution was agreed to as follows: Resolved, That the committee on for- eign relations be instruced to inquire into and report to the senate such legislation as wil protect our interests against those governments which have prohibited or restrained the importation of meats from the United States; and the committee is further instructed to report what dis- criminations are made against exports from the United States by the tariff laws of the principal countries of Europe and America, especially France, Germany, Mexico and Brazil, by reason of com- mercial or other special treaties or agreements, with more favored nations, and report the causes which led to such discriminations and what efforts, if any, have been made to remove them, and what legislation is necessary to place the United States on an_equal footing with the most favored nations, this investiga- tion, however, not to delay the commit- tee on the first branch of the resolution. The senate next took up the bill to provide a civil government for Alaska. During the course of the discussion Mr. Ingalls (rep., Kas,) remarked that the Monroe doctrine was written on the map of America, and its manifest destiny in- dicates that our northern shore will he washed by the Polar sea, and the south- ern boundary will be the inter oceanic canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific consts, Apart irom what value lays in this idea he thought Alaska the most worthless territorial acquisition any gov- ernment ever was afflicted with, Without reaching a conclusion of the bill the senate went into executive ses- sion, and soon after adjourned, HOUSE. Mr. Parker (rep., N. Y.) offered a resolution reciting that it is alleged that the interests «f American agriculturists and dairymen are greatly injured by the manvfacture of oleomargerine and but- terine, and directing the committee on agriculture to inquire into the allegations and ascertain the facts. Referred, Mr. Payson (rep., 1ll.), from the com- mittee on public lands reported a bill relative to the forfeiture of the Texas & Pacific land grant. Placed on the calen- dar, * It is the bill agreed upon by the com- mittee last night, of which a synopsis was telegraphed. Mr Cosgrove (dem., Wis.), from the commit{ee on private land claims, report- ed a bill for the relief of Myra Clark Gaines. Calendar. Mr. Davis (dem., Mo.) introduced a bill to repeal section 1 of the act making a grant of land to aid the construction of the lron Mountain railroad from Pilot Knob to Helena. Referred. On motion of Mr. Ryan (rep., Kas.)an order-was made fixing Thursday, the 28th of February, as the time for delivering appropriate tributesto the memory of the late Dudley C. Haskell. In committee of the whole, Mr. Ran- dall (dem,, Pa.) explained the necessity of an wppropriation without definite lim- itation for the relief of Lieut. Greeley and party. The committee rose and the house passed the bill. ; The calendar was resumed with bills relative to forfeited land grants reported from the committee on judiciary for the purpose of deciding the question of ref- erence, Discussion followed on motious to re- fer to the committee on public lands and the committee on judiciary. The former prevailed—111 to 38, A bill was passed providing that no damages be recovered for the infringe- ment of a patent against the mere user, amended and was patented, ¢+ The remainder of the session was oc- Beck said up to 1881, when a modifica- | cupied with a discussion of the question NUTT AGQUITTED. for his own benefit, if purchased in open market, without notice that the article Mi fhe Verliet Reeived With Heartv Cheers.

The Zora Burns Case and Other Orimes, CRIME AND CRIMINALS. THE VERDICT IN NUTT'S CASE, Pirsnura, January 22.—At 10 o'clock this morning the jury in the great Nutt trial returned a verdict of not guilty on account of insanity at the time the act was copmitted. As earlyas7 o'clock the entrances to the court house were be- sieged by a crowd far exceeding in num- bers the attendance of any day since the trial. The doors were opened at 9 o'clock and the court roem was soon filled. Promptly at 9:30 the court opened and the prisoner was escorted to a seat. His countenance wore & look of most pro- found anxiety now changiug to one of confidence as words of encouragement were whispered into his ear, again put- ting on an air of despondency as he theught the jury might perhaps find him guilty flitted across his mind. The muscles of his face twitched nervously and other movements of the body indi- cate his mind. was ill at ease. To his counsel he stated he slept only two hours last night. The curiosity of the audience was intense, andat every rustle orcommo- tion at the door, there would be a turn- ing of heads and stretching of necks. The jury filed in at 9:57 a. m., and as they seated themselyes the silence was op- pressive. After the usual questions the prisoner was ordered to stand up, but he was 80 weak that he had to be assisted to his feet. The foreman then announced the verdict and the crowd, which was with difliculty restrained dur- ing the day, gave vent to their approval by a loud cheer which the immense crowd outside took up and answered back and another cheer went up from those inside. Finally order was restored and the prisoner remanded to jail until to-morrow, when he will be ex- amined by a committee as to his present, mental condition. Mrs. Nutt and Lizzie were mnot present. They remained at the residence of Major Brown, where the glad tidings was quick- ly conveyed to them. Congratulatory dispatches are pouring in on them from all points. Several experts will be examined to- morrow, but Nutts counsel express themselves as confident that he will b2 released. The hearing is necessary to satify the court that he is a proper per- son to be at large. The law provides that when a person is acquittat{ of any offense by reason of insanity the jury should so declare, and the court shall have power to order him kept in_strict custody so long as such person shall be of unsound mind. PLANNING MURDER BY WHOLESALE, Viesva, January 22.—In addition to the previous confession of having murder- ed four girls and having planned five more morders for last week, Schenck confessed he intended to murder all family of Baroness Malfatti, together with the maid. It seems Schenck in- duced the maid to steal pearls valued at two thousand peunds which the emperor of Austria presented Dr. Malfatti for attending the duke of Reichstadt, son of Emperor Napoleon 1., in his last illness. The maid had propared overything for the reception of Schenck and his accomplice on the night when the former was arrested . MES. LONG'S PLEA, Darrrorn, Wis., January 22.—Mrs, Long, accused of the murder of the Whittemore boy, whose father was al- leged to be criminally intimate with the prisoner, was arraigned this morning and plead not guilty and tho case went over to the June term. The plea of not guilty following her confession is looked upon as a queer course to pursue.
