Sweijler, then serving a term for robbery in the Chester, Ills., penitentiary under an assumed name. Sweigler, who was known to be a profes- sional grave robber, and we+ concernod in the attempt to 1)b the grave of Presi- dent Lincoln, told a very complete, cir- cumstantial and consistent story ot the ROBEERY OF A, T. STEWART'S GRAVE by himself, Lariy Gavin and a man named Coffe, keeper of a saloon in Four- teenth strect, New York. Sweigler promised to restore the body only on condition of his pardonfrom the peniten- tiaiy and receiving part of the 1ewara. His pardon was secured, and accordmg to the detective’s stoiy, a syndicate was formed with a c.pital of $10,000, includ- ing McGanizle, Detectives Chapin and Lansing and . J. Lehman, for the purpose of working up the case and se- curing the rewardof $100,000 offered by Judge Hilton for the return of Stew- ary's remains; that two or three visits were made and negotiations conducted through Mrs. Johnson, A FEMALE DETECTIVE of New York, at one time connected with the Chicago force; that Inspector Byrnes of New York became offended because he was not consulted after the first visit; that the remains were finally re- turned upon the payment of $25,000 by Judge Hilton, a3 evidence of which, Sweigler had plenty of money about that time. An interview with McGarrizle and the detectives is also published. They deny the formation of a syndicate to work the case. McGarrigle admits the general details of the story, including Sweigler’s pardon and the ~subsequent negotiations in New York; but that he finally became disgusted with him be- cause hs TRIFLED WITH THEM, claiming that the caughter of the ex- pressman who carried the remains to the lace where they were buried instizated ll’mr father to secretly remove them to an- other spot unknown to Sweigler. The latter said he had been intimate with this woman and could discover the new hid- ing place. McGarrigle says he becime convinced it was merely a trick of S veig- ler to secure a pardon, and that the negotiations were broken off before the remains were returned and never re- sumed. - ——mme—— CATTLE MEN AT CHEYENNE, Several Hundred on the Ground, ‘Waiting for To-Day's Con- Special Dispatch to Tie BER.

Bratowoon, Tll, April 5.—This place to-day came near being visited by a dis- aster more terrible than the Diamond disaster of a yeur ago. At noon news reached us of the flooding of an old shatt of the Albrizht and Wilmington Coal company. Two hundred men were at work in the mine a: the time. All esc.pc1 bub five I*alizn miners who worked in a d*ferent p.rt of the mine from the rest. No one noiified them of the break. They were not scen to cowe out, although some thiak that they may have escaped with the rest and gone away unperceived in the excitoment. The break was first dis- covered by a driver named Brown, who rushed on top and informed Superin- tendent Applewhite, who ga /e the alarm to the miners at work in the mine, who passed the word of danger from room to room, The excitement was intense. Some men were perfectly wiid, andrushed pellmell over one another, tuiaing into this road, then that, to avoid the low places until thoy reached the cage, where the water was about four feet deep, On being raised to the top many of them were almost exhausted. Vigorous effort are being put foiih to get the water out, 50 that an examination may be made of the rooms to see that all are out. Un- fortunately the pumps were out of order to-day, and caunot be worked. The water 18 now peing removed with boxes om cages, and is fast being lowered. It is thought that an entrance can be ef- feeted some time to-night. FOREST FIRES. Great Destruction in the Carolina Woods—Saw Mills, Churches, Dwellings and Turpentine O:chards Wiped Out.

A GRAND GATHERING, New York, April 6.—The assembly rooms of the Academy of Music, Boook- Iyn, were the scene to-night of a grane banquet given by the Young Men’s Dem- ocratic club, of Brooklyn, Nearly every democrat of local prominence was present. Among the guests were Senators Pendle- fon and Bayard, Senator elect Blackburn, Cor men Hurd and Slocum, and others, Letters of regret from many distin:uished democrats were read, in- cluding Carlisleand Morrison. Inhis letter CARLISLE, sponking of excessive taxation, says: “*We may not be able at this time to ac- complish all that ought to be done, but we cau do something to give assurance to the countiy that we have been rincere in our professions, and that it is our fixed | purpose to reduce and equalizo the bur- den of tixation o4 rapidly as circum- atances will permit.” SENATOR BAYARD respondcd at leneth to the sentiment, The Supreme Law of the Land, roview- ing the history of the formation of the constitution, tho struzgles and hardships of Was ington and his co-laborars in the cause of liberty, and the ultimate tri- wnph of that cause, The Senator's ex- position of the constitution wes rezard- ed by his hearers as one of the mo-t masterly and scholarly arzuments they had ever listened to. There were several other speakers, GOVERNOR MURRAY, THE SPRINGER INVESTICATION, Justice Harlan, of the United fla'<s supreme court, wa3 examined by the Springer committee to-day relative to the charges made against Governor Murray, of Utah. In reference to Murray's character Harlansaid: “‘There is no man in Kentucky for whose integrity, both ra an officer and a man, that the people without distinction of party wou‘(fmare readily vouch for than him, He hes securcd the enmity of some in the dis- charge of his duties, and beyond that very fow people would question his intagrity.” ; Speaker Carlisle and Representative Stevenson a'so testified to the lhigh estimation in which Governor Murray was held in Kentucky. It wes resolved to give no further consideration to the case, a3 having no foundation, inal 2 stion being however postponed till a full meet- ing of the committee, FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, HENATE, WASHINGTON, A b.=Collom intro- duced & bill to reimburse the 'several states for interest paid on war loans, Re- ferred.

This was not spoken repronchfully, but rather as one who despaired of finding remedy for the trouble.

MONDAY MORNNING., APRII, 7 pation, and was almost beginning to be- lieve that book learning was not an essential cure for the trouble of that racc, The negro’s trouble was race aflliction, from which he could never rocover. The sponkor’s Foue had boon set on fira and his bed chamber riddled with bullets, which cut the bedclothes above his sleep- ing children, at the instigation of politi- cians, because he had the courage to pro- claim his convietion, Mr. Plumb’s (rop , Ke.) motion to re- commit the bill to the committeo was withdrawn, ar were also the amendments offared oatly in the debato by Mr. Haci- son, Hoars proposed amondment, ro- duaing the amount to be given for the first yoar, was read. Mr. Logan (rep., 111.) remarked that his (Logan’s) amendment had been firat in order of presentation, and he waunted that placed before the senate. Mr. Hoar (rep., Mass.) withdrew his amendment for the time being. Mr. Logan's amendment was then read. It appropriates $15,000,000 for the first, 17,000,000 for the second, $20,000,000 for the third year, and then diminishes at the rate of £2,000,000 a year up to tho tenth year, when the ap- propriation shall ceaso to be applied to the education of all children of school ago in the United Statos. ‘'he amendment, being voted on, was lost-—yeas, 2 (Brown and Logan); nays, 7. Mr. Togen then proposed another amendment, appropriating £2,000,000 to aid in building school houses in sparsely Enpulmud parts, not more than $100 to o contributed for any one school house, nor more than one-half the cost of tho school house. This amendment was lost-—nays 20, nays 28. Mr. Lozan then moved a third amend- which provided that no satate should roceive the benefit ¢f the fund that did not distribute all school funds equally for all children, without regard to race or color. This was areed to. Mr. Hoar's amendment was then read, making the first year’s appropriation $7,- 000,000; the second year's, $10,000,000; the third year's, $15,000,000, and then decraasing at a rate of $2,000,000 aunu- ally until the eighth year. Mr. Morgan admonished Mr. Hoar to keep the Dill up to the maximum amount, otherwise ho would weaken his bill and lose votes. It would not do to commit the senators on the democratic side of the chambers to a bill that did not fur- nish a very large amount of money. Mr. Hoar said he did not base his suppo-t of the meesure on the general welfare clause in the constitution, nor nction between land grants and money grants. He thought it the duty of thy national leyislature, and within the bounds of the constitution, to remove the irmorant vote of the south and north, nation, ‘I think,” said Mr. Hour, “it is a better thing totiy the experiment, whether by educating the black man he can be made fit for American citizenship, thun without trying that experiment to cheat him out of his vote.” Replying to tho romark, Mr. Morgan not occurced to the senator before he enfranchised the b'ack man.” Mr. Hoar, addragsing himself to the chair, declared that ho would not be drawn into a recrimination in regard +» past history, recent or remote.

HauteAx, April b.-—James Chipman, of tho Ohipman Bros., agont:y of the White Cross line, returned this afternoon from Sambro,where he went last night to look after the survivors of tho wreckcd steamer Daniel Steinmann. The stormy weather last night prevented him from attempting to reach Sambro island, but this morning at 5 o'clock he secured a pilot who would endeavor to reach it. They took the pilet boat and dory with thoww. When as near the shoraas they could risk, the dory was launched and with the assistance of men on the island, Chipman got ashore saw Oap’, Schoonhaven and obtained the 'fol- lowing particulars of the wrock: The steamer had fine weathor on the patsa te, with the exception of the last two days, which were very foggy, it being imp. sible to get any reckoming, and he think- ing ho must have overrun his time, A 10 p. m., the 3d inst., he saw a lighi ahead, which he first took for Chebucto light, the fog making it appear abont five miles off, but 1t could not have been more than one. He discovered as the steamer neared the light that it was the Sambro, und before he had time to re- verse the engings, was AMONG THE LEDGES The steamer struck twice, and bezan filling fost. He then tiied to run her ashore, but sho sank in a fow minutos. As soon a4 tho ship struck the captain ordered the pos- sengers all on deok, but they wore all heavy seas which swept over: her., Two passangers and _fitty of the crew got finto the boat, and manragzed to reach the shore. The ship went down stern first. The captain, who was at his post on the bridze when she went down, threw off his boots and coat and took to than he could climb. After much trouble he caught the topzallant yard and clung there with one of the pessengers, who also manazed to keep himself afloat until 5 a. m. Friday, when the boat put off from the island to look aftec the wreck. He will not come to the city un- til the first of the week. No bodiethave yet washed ashore.

Alexander Gilmes, one of the lignt house keepers, residing on the island said: 1 wasin charge of the fox whistle from 6 to 9:20 and kept the whistle sounding a warning till 8:45, when it cleared suf- ficiently for me to see distincily Devil's island and Chobacto head when I stopped the whistle, the engineer deeming it unneceraary to keep it a going. Before the engineer relieved me, at 9:30 the lookout man sighted the steamer about a mile south by et of lightin the channel. She stopped, then staried abead and went 500 yards and stopped. I think she then struck on Broad Beaver shoal, for sho began to back. It was very dark. The foz whistle started again, thouzh slill clear of fog. About twonty minutes after she began to back, This time she struck on a rock and drifted across the shoal and sank between 500 and 400 yards from the is- lund, Then my brother and I attempted to put out, but the boat was too small, and we wore forced to turn back, Then we lit bonfires along the shore to waia the bouts against the dangerous coast. In the course of an hour a boat came in sight, which proved to be one of the beats of the steamer containing seven men who sucegeded in landing below. We kept lizhts burning along the shore all night, but saw nothing more until daybreak, when we observed TWO PERSONS CLINGING to the forward rigging. The steward and three others put out to the wreck and res- cued the captain and one passenger, Throughout the day the fog continued too thick for us to signal and tho sea too boisterous to permit our landing on the mainland, We did all in our power to make those who had been saved as com- fortable as circumstances would permit. Saptain Schoonhoven ssid at no time had he heard the fog whistle. The first shock was light, the sccond heavy, carry- ing mway the steering wear.
