Thirty per od to be covered into the trensury, the secretary of tho treasury wrote him Saturday last that it had not been done So that up to the present moment not adollar has been covered in. He charged the law had not been complied with, He impuled it was not the inten- tion on the part of the secretary to do any dishonest or dishonorable thing. So far as he has observed the administra- tion of the secrotary of the navy had been most creditable. The whole tone of servioo had been raised, but the iasue was whether a great officer of the govern- ment had obeyed the clear command of the laws. He asserted tho mecretary smaller and poorer boys, to whom even a nominal license fee would prove an un- surmountable obstacle. This causes the tumult.

Mother said, *‘No, it is that John Smyth.” They brought him to the front room and chocked and smoth- ered him, and took the rope out of my hands and put it on tathor’s neck. Fath- er begged of us not to hurt him. We had the rope on him and started ocut doors with him and went dragging him along by the neck. I had hold of the end of the rope and Smyth and Wilson were behind. As we were dragging him along pa said, “Don’t John, don't hurt me s0.” Wilson stopped and tightened the rope and John and I palled him along. When wegot to the tree Smyth mony from Chicago was that there was no disease among them, The amend- ment was agreed to. Plumb withdrew the amendment in- creasing the appropriation for the pur- poses of the bill from $260,000 to §560,- 000. Morgan oppozed the passage of the bill, as the senate had, of late, become the mere sounding ‘board of public calamity and legislation had at- tempted to override the constitution. Morgan moved to strike out the clause authorizing payment for slaughtered cat- tle. Bock was willing to authorize the examination as to the cattle disease but was unwilling to give power for indis- criminate slaughter and to give the op- portunity for the widespread of fraud. Many of the largest cattle owners of the northwestern territories, he said, were foreign corporations. It was no slander that the law required tho net proeeds covered into tho treasury. [he net pro- ceeds could not be obtained until all ex- peditures had been paid for, and this had not yet been done. His del berate judg- ment was, that a very candi ! man would say, that Hewitt's perfcrmance this morning was subterfuge. Last Friday the gentleman had deliberately given the houae and country to understand that the secretary of the navy was dishonest and corrupt, for what could be 1ore corrupt than that a great public flicer should ake the people’s money a' | aot turn it mnto the treasury until »fuer the political election, Ho Callwis) knew 80mo gentlemen wero 80 constuted that instead of deliberately walking up and attacking a man fairly, they sprang from an alley on a dark night, with the assessins degger in their hand.

When we got him up we tied his hands behind him, and wound the rope around his body, but I don’t know just how. 1 think he was about dead then, as he ounly kicked once or twice. After we got him up Wilson tore father’s shirt open and tied it over his head. The shirt was the only clothing he had on. We stood around a few minutes and Smith and Wilson put on their overcoats and we untied our horses, and mounted them and rodeloff. We arrived at Wilson's, ten minutes past four, Saturday morning. It was quite daylight. Wo murdered father ahout midnight. We took handkerchiefs and cut holes in them for the eyes and nose, and wore them over our faces for masks. 1 threw mine into the stove and burned it after I got home. Wilson boughtthe rope at Cedar jRapids one weok ago last Saturday, that we ussd to hang father with. They had been talking to me about hanging father for about a week or ten days, but I objected and did not want to help doit. Symth came to Wilson's Friday morning and we agreed to go that night. They told me they would make away with me after they got back that night if 1 did not go along with them and help them. John Symth said wo had better go that night. as it was dark and the roads were good and we could get back before morning. I told them we would get into trouble and get arrested, but they said we leould Jgo and get back before daylight, and go to work in the morning as usual and no one would mistrust us. I went against my will, but told them I would go, and they made arrangements where to meet, and about what time. There was no light at John,s house when we passed, and John said that he and his wife and a hired hand went to bed ea'ly, and after the others were asleep, he got up and left. Noneof us had any arms that I knew of. They told me not tell any- thing but to deny everything ~ Wilson was the avthor of the wholebusiness. He said he was the man that was doing it. His testimony coincides exactly withthat of Mrs, Jefferson at the inquest, relative to the scene on the night of the murder, Everything about the place shows that Cicero has told the exact truth, There can be no mistake about the guilt of the pacties in custody. Justice Rogers held Oicero to await the action of the grand jury without bail.

Williams remarked, not one in twenty herds in the northeast belonged to for- eigners, Plumb eaid he had prepared an amendment which would, to some ex- tent, remove Morgan's objection. This amendment wos to strike out, alt~gether, the referenco to the slaughter of animals; agreed to, Bayard thought the purpose of the bill would be nowfulfilled by an ap propriation of 50,000 inst2ad of $250,000 be allowed by the house. Plumb had no doubt that the appropriation might now bereduced, but not by so much as Bay- ard proposed, Plumb moved to make the appropriation $150,000, Bayard charactarized the Dbill as noth- ing more than an illustration of the prin ciples of socialism that was creepiug into every branch of our government, With this prospect our most excellent cow boy conld be had fox $3 a day, Undoubted(y the associated press would send broad- cast over the country the eloguent re- marks of the senator from Delaware (Bayard) about the ‘strict construc- tions. Cattle men west were watching the members of this body, especially the eandidates for the presidency, and there fore the senators had better be a litule- eareful how they rodnced the salari cowboys, Morgan's amendment was not agreed to, Miller (Cala ) submitted, as an amend- ment, the substance of the bill heretofore introduced by the government finally into the hands of the strong under the pretext of protecting the weak, How he asked, could senators draw disti tion betweasn rewarding men for loss or sickness of acow and loss or sickness of a father, a son or wife. There had been atime when ‘‘strict construction” and ‘‘state rights” rang upon the ears of the northern people as synonymous for the perpetuation of slavery. But slavery had gone, thank God, w essity for local sell-government and state vights continued to exist and in tho face of o bill like this was more and wore mavifest, and whether heard ia the senate chamber or not, it would beheard outside. Bayard’s motion to reduce the appro- pristion to 850,000 was disagreed to. Plumb's endment, making amount §160,000 was agreed to. On motion, Harris' amendm agreed to, confining the operations of the bill to cattle from which there was dan- ger of disease spreading from one state to snother, Morgan moved to fix & maximum compensstion for inspectors under & bill at §0 per day. Corger rarcastically remarked that having limited the uperations of the bill to cattle that might offend sgainst stats the Nt was to induce him to keep his mouth closed. Hewitt declined to reply to Calkin's personal remarks. That was not in his ine. He insinuated nothing but he charged that the provisions of the statute had not been complied with, 1f he had done less than to state the facts he would fail in his duty as a repro- sentative, The house then went into a committee of the whole and proceeded in the consid- eration of the District of Columbia free bridge bill, which was laid aside with a favorable recommendation. I'he noxt bil was one appropriating $500,000 for the completion of the sew- erago system of the District, but with- out action the committee rose. The iree bridge bill was then recom- mitted and the house took a recess until 8 o'clock. The evening session will be for the debate of the tariff bill. A very small attendance at the evening session. Wolford made an earnest ap- peal in favor of the tariff bill, and pictur- ed the beneficial results which would fol- low i!ujmungu. The Morrison bill was founded on eternal principle and right, and would be hailed by fature genera- tions as a harbinger of freedom in its pur- est sense. Storm opposed the bill. It was merely an sgitation for the sake of agitation. because the wajority on the democratic aide dssired sgitation. After speeches by Lawrence iu opposition to, and Van Eaton in favor of the bill, the house adjourned. e — A FORLOGN HOPE, Chicigo's Opposition to the Animal Todustries BIll, Special Dispatch to Tin Bar.
