Beckdown By the Administration. Wasmxaros, March 18—[Special Tele- gram. |- Therescems to be quite a rent in the deadiock between the senate and the presi- dent. ‘The breakage is caused by a graceful backdown by the administration, through Secretary Manning, to the finance commit- tee of the senate, Some days azo that com- mittee addressed a note to the secretary of the treasury in regard to certain nominations for internal revenue colleetors, A after, a letter came in-answer from Manning, re- peating that the president still stood by his to furnish papers, but that could inform the comzmittee business of the collectors of inte al revenue was beiz badly confused by the senate’s action in “holding up” so many nominations for those places. Then he launched out into view of certain eases, and said that onduct of the men who had held thes offices was extremely goods their affairs had been conducted in a most exemplary manner; that the morals of the apvointees were excellent. He dwelt upon the duties of both officials and the senate in this regard, and said that therewere no pa- person file relating to the officer they de- sired to know of. He concluded his long epistle by saying “that the president thought it for the best interests of is administration to have in these oflices men of the same polit- complexion as himself The letter created quite a flutter in the connittee, for it was a virtual example of the line, “Whilo refusing to consont, consente Yet they did not deem it of suflicient an- swer to their request. A resolution was offercd to return the letter to Mr. Manning, with instructions that the committee did not desire a stumpspeech on the subject but the facts. A vote was taken on this motion, and to the surprise of many of the committee several of the demoerats voted to return the letter, among them I It was carried and the letter returned. At the next meeting of the committ another lotter was found from Manning, which was a short orie, in fact only the sali- ent points. Reference to the good conduct and condition of the affairs, the moral char- acter of the appointee and the destre of the president 10 have persons of his party in of- fice—all the stump speech was omitted. The republicans had gained their point. The Teasons were given, and henee they have al- ready reported favorably on some internal revenue colleetions, and at the meeting to- day others were considered and_reported on in executive session and confirmed. The reason Beck voted to return the letter was b cause hie was anxious to have his Kentuel men reported on. ‘The action of the secretary of the treasury may be followed soon by the others, 1f so, the rent in the dead lock will grow, and it scems now as if the speeehes were not failures cither. PROPOSED CIIANGE IN BANKING TAWS, At present the national bankiv quires that every banking association 1o at Baltimore, Boston, Albany, Charleston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Loulsville, Milwaukee, New Orl , New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Richmond, Bt. Louis, San Francisco and Washington shall at all times keep on hand, in lawful woney, an amount equal to at least 25 per cent of the aggregate amount of its notes in clreulation and its dcposits, and every other bank shail keep on band 15 per cent. Three- fifths of the reserve of 15 per cent required to be kept on hand by country banks niay consist of balances due sueh banks by those of the cities above named. The city banks are thus made depositories for coun- try banks and become agents of the latter in making exchange and in the transaction of all business requiring the transportation of money or credit. Mr. Warner of Missouri has a bill to amend this law by adding Kan- gas City, Owaha, St. Paal, Minncapoli Indianapolis and Atlanta to the list of eiti to which national banks may becomo agents of country banks and keep on deposit the three-filths of the rescrve of 15 per cont re- quired to be held to secure cireulation and deposits., 1HE BAD BOY OF A RICI FATIIER.

That question was: Had the president, with- out the advice and consent of the senate, the power to remove a federal officer, if in his opinion public interest required’ such ve- wioval? Mr. Brown argued at lengti to show that the constitution conferred the power of removal on the president alone, and_ that. as the constitution was the supréme law, that settled the question, no matter how many aets of congress might liave been passed in viola- tion of it. Mr. Spooner took the floor in support of the majority report, e said he would make noattempt to discuise the fact, or culogize for it, that the fortunes of the republiean party were very dearto him. He would not attempt to deny that he wished that that party might' here and_elsewhere reap every fair party advantage which might be taken® from the blunders and shorteomings, if any such there were, of this adminisiration.” Mr, Spooner read from the president’s messago ause inviting the senate to “the fullest *of nominations submitted.

The Dying Woman Charges the Crime to Her Companion — Yester- day's Work in Both Log« islative Branches, Jealousy Leads to Murder. Drs Motxes, Town, March 18.—[Special legram.]—A shocking and mysterious ey d here to-day, which is baflting the ingenuity of the police. A house of questionable character on Cherry street was broken into about 1 o'clock this after- noon, and one young woman, who answers to the name of Jessie Carter, was found dying on the bed with two bullet holes through her body. In the same room was companion who answers to the name of May Fasher, pale and nearly speechless with frightand excitement. The only clue to this affair is the statement of a young man named J. 11 Baxter, who belongs in this city, Itappears that he has been paying some attentions to both, partie- ularly to May, but within a few days he had transferred his interest more especially to Jessie, 1t seems that to-day he had arranged to start with the latter to Sioux City and led at the house for her about 11 o'clock. The curtains were drawn and no one re- sponded, He called two or three times again, and began to suspect something wrong, so went again_ and broke finding thingsas reported. ‘The polico were sum- moned and after hearing the story from all parties, arrested the girl May and lodged her in jail. Her explanation of the probable murder is that about 9 o'elock this morning, while both girls were in {he room, some one fired through the window, shooting the girl Jessie, but although this oceurred early in the day she made no effort toleave the house, but remained locked in till discovered at 1 o'clock. An_ examination of the wounds showed that they were probably made by a s2-calibre ball, and a 82calibre revolyer was in the house with three chambers found empty, It is the theory of the police that the woman arrested shot the other this morning through jealousy, and then was too much frightened to escape, The dying woman ean not live through the night, her physician says. The dying woman made an ante-mor- tem statement that the woman May shot at her twice this morning, after threatening to Kill her, and was intending to throw her down a trap door into the celler, when her courage failed. In the house to-day abill was introduced to abohish the board of eapitol commission- ers. The committee on railroads reported favorably on the bill defining the duties of the railroad commissioners and giving them power to fix maximum rates, The bill relat- ing to the election and compensation of dis- triet judges, already discussed, was then taken up. The spec feature considered was the fixing of the salary. This had been amended, changing the sum fixed by the bill from $3,000 to 2,500, After debate this section was so amended and adopted—yeas 43, noes 36, As there was much ditference of opinion as to the provisions of the bill relat- ing to changing the judicial districts, further consideration was postponed. The Riley bill, determining the number of grand and trial juries, was passed by the house to-day, under suspension of the rule: with no dissenting votes. 1t is similar to the Miles senate bill, and reduces the number of grand jurors to five in countics of less than 16,000 population, and seven in counties hay- ing more than that, The house also ordered engrossed the Roach bill, providing that when any railroad employe is injured in the discharge of duty and sues for damages, the burden of proof of contributory negligence on his part must be shown by the defendauts ‘The house also passed a concurrent resolu- tion instructing the soldiers’ home committee to visit and examine Dubuque as a location for a soldiers’ home. The house decided to begin morning sessions at 9 a. m. on and after March 23 In the senate the committee on the agrieul- tural college presented a resolution of the faculty advising against the passage of the joint resolution pending in both houses for the establishment of a winter term at that school. On the third reading the senate passed the Gateh bill rezulating the org: tion and operation of mutual benefit ass tions. Also the Clark bill suppressing the circulation of obscene literature.

Testi- mony was introduced to show that stolen silverware was traced to Jachine's shop, where it had been bouzht and melted; that Jachne tried to bribe one of the detectives sent to recover the property, and fatling in this, pald the value of the silver, $14100, Upon Jaehne's arrival af the city hall he Was takon into ono of the private rooms, *“The indictment against Alderman Jachne has been found but not filed.” said Distriet Attorney Martine this afternoon, “and it is charged against him that he received a bribe, in consideration of which he voted for the granting of the franchise to build a road on Broadway to the Broadway Surface company after the resolution had been vetoed by the mayor.

NEWw OrrEAxs, Mareh 18.—A specfal from Winona, Miss, to the Times-Democrat, gives the following particulars of the circumstances leading to the tagedy enacted at Carrollton, Miss,, yesterday: Some months ago Robert Moore, n young man from Leflore county, went to Carrolliton. There he met Ed. Brown (colored), with whom he had an altercation, and the negro smeared and poured on_him molasses which he carried in a jug. J. M. Liddell, jr, of Greenwood, a friend of Moore's, happened to meet with Brown, and made some allusions to his treatment of Moore. Brown gave him fmpudence and Liddell started at him, but was prevented by by-standers from attacking him. Thenegrothen went and armed him- self and induced the others to do likewise. They stationed themselyes on the street, some concealing themselves behind trees. When Liddell came after supper from the hotel, he saw them and asked them what they meant, wherenpon Ed Brown responded it was none of his damned business. At that, Liddell struck at Ed Brown with his fist, and Ed and Charles Brown, his brother, both simultancously fired upon Liddell, ppe ball striking on the elbow of bLis right armn, About this time some fifteen to twenty siots were fired fromdifferent quarters. Liddell vulled his pistol and hit Ed Beown in the ab- domen, and received one shot in the fleshy part of hisleg. Chasles Brown was shot in the shoulder. The parties who had taken part in the affray were brought before the mayor forth- with,received an examination,and were bailed to appear before the next circuit court. Thrcats were continually made by the Brown brothers that they would have Jim Liddell’s blood. Further, they had five double-barreled shoteuus londed seven fineers deep, and would “kill the first man who put his foot on their ground,” On the 12th instant “they made aflidavit agamlst James Liddell and others, including some of tlie best eitizens of the place, and men who knew nothing of the diflictlty, eharging thom with assaulting them with intent to murder In the previous difficulty. Preyious to the opening of the trial yesterday Brown boasted on the street that ho hiad his body-guard and would shoot the first man who made a move in his diree. tion. The case was ecalled at noon, when the court house immediately was filled with negroes, who stationod themsdlves around dabout the Brown brothers, The attor- were proceeding with the ease, when there suddenly appeared about 100 white men, all well armeéd.” Pereeiving their entrance, Ed Brown drew nis pistol and fired in the direction of Liddell, who was between his attorneys, and thereupon the firing began general.
