Through General Pryor they were about 10 tako steps to have him placed under rostraint, and it is alleged ho fled to avoid fmprisonment. His withdrawal from the firm was compulsory, Rateman and the other vartners insisting Monday last that he should either disprove the truth of the reports re- garding his connection with Mrs. McCrea or sever his conn with them at once. He ©hose the latter course. It was ned from Bateman today that he ficat heard about a month ago several ru- mors concerning the relutions alleged to bo existing between Green and Mrs, McCrea, and told him he must either put a stop to the scendal or withdraw from the firm. Green assured him that there was no truth in the rumors. At the sametime he promiscd that he would see Mrs. McCrea no more, After hearing of the marriage Bateman told Green o must cither disprove it or withdraw from tho tirm., Green theu sat down aud wrote his withdrawal, Green scemed to regard the whole matter of his bigamous marriage as a joke and did pot scem capable of realizing the sorious nature of the position in which he had placed himself.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE§ THURSDAY, STILL DISCUSSING THE CODE. The House Continues tha Debate on the New Rules, MANY MEMBERS TAKE PART, The Senate Unanimously Adopts a Rewolution Congratuiating Bras 21tian People Upon Thelr Now Form of Government. Hons: Wasmyaroy, Feb. 12.—The house met at 11 o'clock this morning in continuation of yesterday's session. The debate on the pro- posed rules was continued by Mr.Dockery of Missouri in a vein of eriticism. Messrs. Morse of Massachusefts and Allen of Mickigan followed, speaking in subport of the rules, and at the conolusion of their re- marks the session of Tuesday was ended and that of Wednesday began. After the approval of the journal in the usual manner Mr., McCreary of Kentucky took the floor in opposition to the new rul He criticised the recent decisions of the speaker. That ofticer had defied all precedents and had re- versed the parliamentary docisions of nearly all the speakers who had presided over the house. Mr, McCreary inveighed against the new rules, asserting that their effect would bo to make the congress of the United States consist of the senate of the United States and Speaker Reed. Mr. Cutcheon of Michiran supported the propused rules, declaring that they tended to facilitato business instead of obstructing it Mr. Kerr of lowa presented an argument in support of the proposed code. ] Mr. Caruth of Kentucky said he and hs democratic colleagues hadl discovered ‘‘gen- eral parhamentary low” was an autocrat, was & tyrant, was & god. The speaker was ommwpotent, yet lacking inone of the at- tributes of omuipotence; he was not the samo yesterday, today and forever. He had thought there must be some defectin the speaker’s vision wkich enabled him to see a democrat when he sat in the chair, but which would not permit him to see a democrat when he was standing at full height, claim- ing recogmtion. He bad come to the con- clusion vhat the speaker should be dosed with Colonel Mulberry Sellers’ eye water externally, internally and eternally. Mr. Henderson of lowa said. that for the last few weeks the country had witnessed scenes unequaled in the history of the @ov- ernment. The speaker of the house, backed by republican members, had been making a stand for the rights and liberties of the people. That battle had brought on scenes ex- ceeding in monstrous proportions any (in all excepting brutality ) that had ever occurred in the national capital. Kpithets had been hurled broadcast from the other side of the chamber at the presiding officer. Lianguugo which should have expelled its uscrs had been uttered and flashed over the wires, “Tyrant,” “Usurper,” *‘Corruptionist,’ “Hacked by a mob,” were speeches to which the country had been treated. After one of the scencs he (Henderson) had heard one gentloman on the domocratic side say to another: “Did you hear tho robel yoll " Lot the gentlemen under- stand here and now that & mnorthern doughface was an animal of part face. Lot them understand that the country had passed through a flery furnace which had eliminated the northern doughface. The gentlemen on the other side undertook to control this country whether they were in the majority or in the minority, They could not do it. The republicans meant business, and it was to do business calmly, earnestly, bravely and patriotically that they were here. Assault after assault, from ereat and small, bhad been hurled against the speuker. . The gentlemen had. been very. chary of makin| .such assaults when the speaker had been on the foor instead of veing tied up as the presiding ofticer. Referring to the election cases, he said that if there was @ member on the floor entitled to his seat the republicans would stand up and defend his rights, but if there was on the floor a man who held his seat by black-hearted fraud or red-handed murder, they would unsest him if they had the power. Messrs, 13uchanan and Walker followed in defense of the speaker’s course, and then the house took a rocess. y Nearly fiftesn hundred persons were 1n the walleries this evening to listen to the argu- ments upon the proposed ‘code Of: rules. Messrs. Mansur, Lane,” Rogers, 'Springer, Shively and Pierce denounced the rulings of the speaker, while they were acfended by Messrs. Moore, Dunuel), Bouck und J. D. Taylor of Ohio, Senate. s ‘WasHINGTON, Feb, 12.—The senate uunan- imously vassed the resolution congratulating the people of Brazil on the formation of a re- publican form of government, us follows: “That the United States of Awerica con- gratulates Brazil on their just and peaceful assumption of the powers, duties and respon- sibilities of self-government, and their re- *cent adoptiod of a republican’ form of gov- ernment.

' Wasmixeroy, Feb. 12.—0. B.. Brown of Dayton. O., was the first witness examined before the ballot box forgery committee this morning. The witness stated that on behalf of the board of elections he had gon® before the election to Cincinnati to pracure.a ballot box. He had not been able to see Wood, but. saw his wife, who udvised ‘him to telegraph toT. C. Cempbell, in New York. She also asked witness to let her know .how many boxes ho ordered, as ahe had no confidence in Campbell. Witness did not order the boxes. Charles G. Pryor of Cincinnatl stated that he was the person who at. Foraker's re- auest had given £200 to Wood;, -Ociolier 8, 1880. He bad seen Hadden the same day, and that gentleman had told lnm he had seen the paper (forged document). This was some days before the retraction. At the request of Governor Foraker, General Grosvenor was sworn, He read a letter written by himself, from which Halstead had read extracts while on the st The letter stated that Grosvenor (the writer) had made up his wmind at the beginning of the campaign to help Foraker *from ere on. The letter b shull make it more agreeable tor raker d more disagreeable for the crowd that surrounds Cumpbell.” 'The letter *stated that if Campbell had not iotroduced the bills yery distioguished Ohio republican would have introduced it. The postscript stated that Jennings, editor of the Athens, Messenger, had told the writer that Campbell bhad #5000 in the ballot-box scheme, “If thatis ®0,” said Grosvenor, ‘%the gchewe 1s a corrupt one. Foraker asked Grosvernor whom he meant by a very distivguished Ohio re- ublican, and witness caused a laugh by say- ng, “That's one.” vernor Foraker resumed the stand for the purpose of making sun explanation of various matters which have been spoken of in the course of the Invuklglllon. He re- ferred to several incidents which tended to contirm, in his mind, the belief of the gen- uineness of the ballot box paper. 'o0d never told him the nawes would not stand, nor did be use any worcs calculated to put Foraker on his guard in any maovner. The goverpor unever bad said to Wi or &uy oune that he would use the Wn-r on Butterworth. Foraker denounced Wood as 8 notorious forger and perjurer and declared he counted seventy-nine unqualified aud un- mitigated falsehoods in his (Wood's) testi- wony. The affuir bad been to him & very Dbitter experience—mortifying and bhutailist- ing to the lust degree—but from the begin- uingjo the lust there had never been & wo- ment whon ali the world might not have had the information he had, He would think to the day of his death that behind this there Was s0mo sort of apaper, but he did not want any man to imagioe that ho asserted that any man w name was_on that forged paper was on 4o paper he_believed had ex isted. He fiot believe Wood could have conceived the fiading and collatoral sccurity on the paper oWt of his own imagination and must have rogeived aid from some other paper o other fierson. Wood rosumen the stand for a fow minutes and asserted that the whole thiog originated with Hudden. ‘Honever saw any paper but what Foraker and Hadden had impressed on his mind. Wnon thoy taiked about the ballot box contract hi@ thought they «new what they were talking about. Hadden told him the governor wanted a bluffer and Foraker got a bluffer to biuff Ben Butterworth. Wood declared e understood the paver was never to leave Foraker's hands, but was to be used as a blufr, After examining sevoral other witnesses the committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman, ~ All the witresses were discharged.
