Review of the Sta ement of the Runaway Negro, J. Aaron Moore. He Facts in Every Instance, and is an Arrant Falsifier. Moore Kn w all About the Intentions of Clop ton and Tyler, ihe Rioters. A About the Piot to Murder Just ce Bramiette and Other Officers Negroes Leaving Meridian. From tu Meridian GsrelW, of Wednes- ¬ day. MUOKlu't- - STATEMENT M ANUKACTUKED To UHDKR. Aaron Moore has been interview! at Jackson by the editor of the Pilot, and we publish bis statement, this lDorniuir, entire. He haa certainly flavored it to -- uit the taste ot Kadi- - u- -, and, as it stands, it forms a sweet lii trsei to roll under their tongues. In reading it, the first thing that strUcesw is Aaron's Umb like inno- - l.ri!ir on a collision with the whites. He pretends to be merely "passing the when he "heard aonie persona apparently speaking.'' ' I his - truly refreshing, in view of the fact that it "waa known here, several days previous to the meeting, that the negroes expected him to addreas theui, that the court room was secured for the purpose, and that the large crowd of country darkies present on the occasion, were attracted to the ity by the announcement of hid com- ¬ ing. " ZK BRANi HEEK." jie certainly has more "cheek" t haa we him credit for. and must inn so notorious, and innocence of uartk-- i nation in proceedings which hail been "cut and dried," and in v huh, as a rigid investigation will ail w, he was expected by his deluded followers to take an active, if not a leading part. He did perform very well, so far as words go. He euuld denounce white people, abuse the county officers, and warn Meridian of the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, but when the storm was raging which he had helped to raise, where was Aaron'.' At home while the town was in il ones. In bed while one of his con- ¬ federate was endeavoring to organize j. negro mob, and to his cowardice, it is more than probable, a scheme tailed, which successfully carried out, would have deluged the city in blood. He was absent, because he knew what was about to happ:n, and anticipated the time when it would be necessary to "know nothing, personally." A CALM REVIEW of t'H the circumstances, the intimacy of X.'o"re with Clopton aud Tyler, his ou his Ia bored plea of innocence, and hi strauge ab-enc- e from the scene of !i .itstruelive conflagration, which drew together all unsuspecting citi- - . -- . cannot be accounted for satisfac- ¬ torily ex(vpt uion the supposition that be expected certain events to happen that would make Lome the ist place. ABOUT sATI EDAY NIGHT'S KIOT. A" to the reported disarming of the ne-gri- ' Saturday night, it was an ati...lu'e necessity. No leas than four while 11. en are known to have been at U. going bu the fire two of ihem. Meewrs. Hancock and Hea, ei ouoded. The town was full of Mined negroes. Clopton had given ihe utrnal, aud Tyler and his asso- - , .t, - wtm iu anus to carry out his IbshMfea. In one place, before the close of the lire, in. re than twenty negroes were found drawn up in line. Added to this, tbe bell At tbe African church had given the signal to gather the ne- - stnw, aud but for tbe prompt action taken' to disarm them, tie city would, toetore morning, have been in ashes, and hundreds murdered. THE SHERIFF'S ORDER. by th fact that the picketa around Moore's church on Sunday night were weil armeo, and that weapons were not ; king aiijong the negroes on Mouday. AFFAIRS OP MONDAY. We come now, to the affairs of Monday, it can be proved by a num- - ler of w itnesses that Warren Tyler staled before be went into the court- ¬ house on Wednesday that be would have a difficulty there and might not Uav it alive. He declared be would kill tie tirst man who spoke to him about leaving the city, and at least five or sis negroes can be found who will testify as to bis statements of the difficulty ihat he exftected would take pine (luring tbe trial. He declared he uould "kill and might be killed," whites were wholly ignorant ol it. HOOKK A IXINFEDEKATK OF TV LER. We charge that Aaron Moore must have known of the murderous inten- tions Oi Tyler. They were intiinste friend- - slid had been together on rtat- - led to d to bis ci leared they might Is- - sent to jail, and they d-i- red to put the officer, out of the way. The plot failed because their confederates becHiu alarmed when the firing commenced and ran fl. If Moore was not an accomplice and a confederate, whv did be tail to disclose the threats of Tyler? JMOOBE GUILTY OF A WILFUL FALSI- ¬ FICATION OF FACTA. Moore's whole statement is an at- ¬ tempt to create a false impression by concealing a part of the truth. He knows vi rv well that Warren Tyler da'-- i shoot him,'' were not Tyler had killed Judge it must have known how tbe mmer.ced, and be is guilty of falsi ti stion of facta. He also jaents Mr. Brantley's testi- - Taken altogether, tbe men- - report ol J. Aaron Moore brands him as an unprincipled man, nnvnrthv the confidence of his race. And the friendship of white men, and makes his name a foul blot on tbe rolls ol tbe Legislature. LEAVING MERIDIAN. A great many negroes are leaving w idian.

ESTABLISHED 184Q. MERIDIAN. Misrepresents Many who have not worked before for years are seexing the spade and plow; they will go at once be glad to get away, and thank God when they have shaken the dust of Meridian from their heels. We can spare a few hundred ot them very well: indeed, we would try and get along if they all left, and endeavor to subdue any shower " failing sorrows." We hope of those who go will abandon the old paths of vice and peculation, and the counsel of such men as Win. St urges, Price, Olopton and Tyler. Shun politics and carpet-bagger- and instead of carrying pistols and shot- ¬ guns, be warrior of the toil. In this army you will find peace and plenty; under this banner will you prospet and be protected. ALECK'S WIFE. The wife of Aleck Joseph, one the worst negroes Meridian ever tolerated, and Billy Clopton's lieutenant, has reached Jackson. She thinks her be-¬ loved Aleck is in the woods some- ¬ where and will soon join her. The last we saw of him on that ever-me- - moriable Monday he was getting away from the courthouse as fast as his "walking pins" would permit. His head touched the butt of some- body's gun as be bid farewell to the room his infamous teachings had tUM with innocent blood. Aleck will sow the seed of discord wherever be goes. Treachery and trouble live in bis eyes indeed be looks capable of every crime beneath the roof of heaven. ANOTHER HORROR. Filling la of a Volcano- - Over Nine Hun- dred Person Burled A Town Noarly Consumed by tit FUaes London, March 10. Information has just reached here of a terrible ca- ¬ tastrophe which has occurred in the Tyrol. "The Schlosburg," a Yesu- - vian mountain overlooking the mar- ¬ ket town of Hohenems, Tyrol, fell in, burning two principal streets of the town and burying over nine hundred persons, also destroying tbe principal church. Telegrams now being received re- port the wildest excitement through- ¬ out Transylvania in consequence of the dreadful disaster at Hohenems, by which over Tiine hundred persons lost their lives, and the greater por- ¬ tion ot the town was consumed. No further particulars have as yet been received, but advices now at hand confirm the terrible nature of the calamity. EARTHQUAKE. Tbe Sandwich Islands Shaken Up EffcU of the Convulsion lrjury to Property. From tbe New York Herald Honoli'la, 8. L, March 2. At seven minutes past ten o'clock on the evening of February l.sth, a very se- ¬ vere shock of earthquake was experi- ¬ enced at these islands. With few exceptions the walls of all tbe stone or adobe buildings were injured. The cottage buildings at i'unahoa are damaged extensively. Many persons rushed into the streets from their beds. Three distinct motions were felt first shaking horizontally, then per- - sndicularly, and the finish was a distinct wave motion from tbe south- ¬ west. The violence of the shock hvsted twenty seconds, the whole fully a minute. At I.ahaika much damage was done to buildings. The Seminary build- ¬ ings suffered most, the walls being shaken to pieces, though they did not fall. At McKee's plantation a train of sugar kettles was badly injured. ither localities did not sutler much. At Molokai, nearly all the stone walls were leveled, and the frame of a building thrown down. The road to the Leper Asylum was destroyed. On Lanaia, the shock was very severe. Clefts have been opened on diflerent parts of the island, the val- ley being full of masses ot earths and rocks, shaken from the mouulain top- -. On Hawaii but little damage was done. The Hilo and Kan districts received a slight shaking. The volca- ¬ no is very active, but was evidently innocent of participation in the earth- ¬ quake. Parties on two different islands state that a bright light was visible in the eastern sky. (.'bunnies on sugar plantations suflered little. Several slock - have been experienced since, but they were not severe. The l.ifstr Suestion will soon lie set- ¬ tled. Two companiesof Chinese have landed here, seeking work one lrom China and one from Tahiti. THE VICTORY. "TirM Cberrs and Tiger' for New Hampshire. Concord, March It;.

Sessions of tbe Joint High Commission are held daily. Fears are prevailing in some quartern that tne recent discus- ¬ sion has developed diflereuces of opin- ¬ ion which may prevent a peaceful settlement. In reply to a question, yesterday, one of the American Com- ¬ missioners said, in a significant man- ¬ ner, if the commission was able to reach satisfactory conclusions at all, it would terminate its labors by the middle of April. It is believed that tiie difficulty lies in the inability of the English Commissioners to meet the preliminary requirements for ne- ¬ gotiations stated by the American Commissioners as to the Alabama liabilities. tXNFIRH ATIOKH BY THE SENATE. Tbe Senate confirmed the following nominations: Adam C. Smith, Col- ¬ lector of Internal Revenue for the First J ' strict of Minnesota; D. A. Davidson, Collector of lntvnai Reve- ¬ nue for the Sixth District of Tonnes me; William R. Smith, Receiver of Plil. lie Money, Sioux City. Kl'-KLI- The Joint committee's resolution on Ku-Kiu- x Outrages, was adopted by 126 yeas to (i4 nays. Of tbe yeas, .V were Republicans and i'X leinocrts. ( if the nays, ;u were Republicans, and 14 Democrats, Ho a majority of each party present voted for the resolu- ¬ tion. RADICAL CAUCT8. The Republican Senators held an- ¬ other caucus this afternoon to con- ¬ sider the question whether It would be advisable to enact a bill for tbe suppression ot Ku Kim outrages in the South. It is probable that a ma- ¬ jority will decide that it is inexpedient to take any action on the subject at present, and thaf the Senate should concur in the House resolution for adjournment next week. Among the Senators opposed to any legisla- ¬ tion this session in regard to the con- ¬ dition of aflairs in the South are un- ¬ derstood to be Messrs. Trumbull, natulan, Morrill Buckingham, Conk- - iing,Hawyer, Kellogg and Robertson. The caucus adjourned till 10 a.m. to- ¬ morrow. FOREIGN DISPATCHES FRANCE. FRIGHTFUL SCENES IN NORTHERN FRANCE. Loniwjn, March 16. A special dis- ¬ patch from Lille to the News says the battlefields in tbe north of France threaten to beooM a serious pesti lenee. Dead bodies are found floating in the dykes and marshes, and active measures are being taken for their interment. The Telegraph' special from Amiens says the future German army of occu- ¬ pation in France will consist of the Saxon ami Wurtemburg corps and the Seventh Prussian corps. It is rumored tbat Ricciotti Oari baldi i in Paris. The limes' special at Paris tele- ¬ graphs that the presence of numerous Uanhaldians in I'arts nas a very dis quieting influence upon the populace AFFAIRS IN AND ABOUT PARIS. Paris, March 16. General Vinoy, military commander in Pans, has is sued an order positively forbiding all processions and masquerades to morrow. The Orleans railroad has been de- ¬ livered bv the Germans into tbe bands of the French. It is reported that the newspaper stamp duty has been arranged at t wo centimes daily on an journals, notn in Pans and the departments. Political journals must each lodge 24,000 francs with the Department ot Finance as security tor duty. HAYTI. OPPOSITION TO ANNEXATION. Port-au-Princ- e, Hayti, March 7. The Havtiens are bitterly opposed to annexation. The Commissioners, however, were received civilly. Ca- ¬ brera strength consists almost wholly in his Haytien supporters. The ques- ¬ tions of debt and disputed boundary are tbe most important raised since the last dispatches. Mr. Howe had arranged for a pretty thorough ex- ¬ ploration of this section of Hayti, but Mr. Wade insisted that there was no authority for it and it should not be done. The second day after their arrival here, Messrs. Wade and Howe called upon the President and Cabinet of Hsyti. After the interchange of courtesies, an informal conversation occurred; when Mr. Wade said he greatly regretted not being able to speak their language, because he thoUL'tit he could say a great aeai to allay the present feeling toward the L nited States, by showing wnere me misunderstood the United States. President flaget earnestly reuliid that the educated class in Hayti fully understood and appreci- ¬ ated the condition ol tne united States, but that a large class only re- ¬ membered the slavery which existed there, and they had themselves been slaves and it was impossible to influ- ¬ ence them. The President is not ex- ¬ pected to visit the Commissioners, on account of the general and popular feeling against their presence. Wade is anxious not to complicate matters by arming Cabral here, wishing to avoid all appearances, while in Hayti, ot prosecuting investigations looking to annexation. HOME DISPATCHES. New Jersey Elections New York, March 16. The returns from the town elections throughout Burlington county, New Jersey, are nearly complete. Yester- ¬ day a majority for tiie Republican tree-holde- was elected. Uaited States Soldiers aot to Go to Son Uoailngo. New York, March 16. General McDonald; denies the story that tbe troops at Governor's Island were held ready to proceed to San Domingo in certain contingencies. The troops named have been at Governor's since October 14, 1670, and will soon proceed to the north western frontier. The Price of Cuba. Nfw York, March 16 The Irtb- - une's Washington correspondent tele- ¬ graphed last night as follows : There is a startling rumor t, not gen- ¬ erally known, ot advices received from Minister Sickles submitting, as the result of negotiations for several months past, a proposition from the Government of Spain for the sale to this government of tbe islands of Cuba aud Porto Rico. The amount asked i believed to be $100,000,000, payable in instalments. Tbe Son Domingo Expeditioa Betting Fruit Samana Bay, February 23. Much excitement is being caused iu San Domingo city by the official au- - nouueement to the inhabitants that Barie and San Cristoval had pulled down the Dominican colors and raised the American flag. The revolutionary force, composed of the adherents of Salnave, were about marching against Hayti with the ob- ¬ ject of overthrowing President Saget, and placing Leconte at the bead of tbe government. Leconte, accom- ¬ panied by Major C. G. Megrue, of Cin- ¬ cinnati, bad visited tbe Commission at Port an Prince. Lovely Cbicnga. Chicago, March 18. At Carroll, 111., this morning, B. B. Perry, a lumber merchant, shot and killed his wile, set his bouse on Are, and then shot himself dead. He was married last October. He was much given to strong drink. This afternoon, Thomas Guntroll, aged fourteen years, was caught in a cotton machine and crushed to death, lie was horribly mangled. At St. Charles, 111., last night, six stores aud shops were burned. The fire was the work of an incendiary. Complication! of tbn Erie Railroad Co. New York, March 16. The World' t financial writer says : The complica- - tions, legal and otherwise, of the Erie Railroad Company seem to be increas- ¬ ing. An injuction is iu force against tbe Erie company issuing or selling consolidated mortgage bonds, which Is likely to embarrass the company's finances; tbe strikes and demoralisa- ¬ tion of the coal trade have caused a loss of about $o00,noi) per month in., earnings during the winter; the float- ¬ ing debt of the company has been increased to about $6,ino, 000, and tbe sale of consolidated bonds was intend- ¬ ed to raise money to pay tbe liabili- - liei. and there has been a considerable reduction in tbe ratee for travel to the West. Colonists' tickets are now issued by various lines at reduced rates. Holders ot these tickets are entitled) to first class-passa- on ex- ¬ press trains, with loo pounds ot bag- ¬ gage free, and with a corresponding reduction for tbe transportation of their household goods and farming implements, within twelve days from tbe date of purchase. For the special accommodation of persons visiting the West to select lands and home- ¬ steads and return for their families, excursion tickets are now sold fa new feature), good for the round trip, within thirty days from the date of purchase, At the examination In Mobile on Friday, of the recent railroad riot in that city, in reply to a remark made bv Colonel Stewart, that the road had expended already $7,000,000, Admiral Semmes stated that it was in bad taste for men to come South in a tone of de-¬ fiance and boast of bringing Northern capital and Northern enterprise for the development of that section in the face of the tact that they had got out of two States under Radical rule al- ¬ ready $11,000,000, and are entitled to $16,000 per mile more tor every foot of road laid in his own State. The claim of expending Northern capital i not sustained by facto. MEMPHIS, TENlsT., FEIBAY. MARCH 17, 1871. CONGRESSIONAL. Washington. March 16. Borne. Mr. Kelly rose to a personal explana- ¬ tion and denial of the charge made in the circular issued by Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, that tne nign tann Representatives combined with the Democrats to pass Air. reiers resolu- ¬ tion yesterday, and then asked to be excused from serving on me commit tee annointed under the resolution. Mr. Butler replied that he did not refer to Mr. Kelly, and said tbat Mr. Peters' resolution was a trick to de- ¬ feat the caucus Ku-Kln- x bill. Mativ Republicans voted yea, feir ing to compromise themselves by voting nay. Peters defended his resolution. Dawes said nobody seemed to trou ble themselves about it but Butler. Sneaker Blaine took the floor, Mr Wheeler in the chair, and proceeded to say that he showed the resolution to Butler, of Massachusetts, in his (Blaine's) handwriting, and added, at Butler's suggestion, the words "and the expenses of this committee shall be paid from the contingent fund of the House of Representa- ¬ tives" applause a fact that ways and means were wanted to pay the expenses was the only objection be made to it. Butler Was not my answer that, under no circumstances would I have anything to do with It, being bound by action of caucus r Blaine No, sir; your answer was, tbat under no circumstances would vou serve as chairman. Mr. Blaine proceeded to say that he appointed Butler chairman, because he knew very well if he omitted the appointment, the gentlman would oe heralded throughout the length and breadth of the country by clacqners who have so industriously distributed f,bis letter this morning, that the speaker had packed;tbe committee, as a gentleman said he would, with weak- - kneed Republicans, who would not go into an investigation as vigorously as he would. That was the reason be made the appointment. Ap- plause. So the chair had laid the re-¬ sponsibility upon gentlemen declining tbe appoiutment. Butler I know that was a trick of the chair. Mr. Blaine Ah, trick! I know new what the gentleman meant by the word "trick." I am very glad to know the trick was successful. It is this trick which places the gentleman from Massachusetts ou his resposibility before the country, rne gentleman from Massachusetts says in his letter: "Having been appointed, against my wishes, expressed both publicly ancl privately, by the Speaker as chairman of the committee to investigate the state of affairs in the South, ordered to-da- y by Dem- ¬ ocratic votes, against the most earnest protest of more than two- - thirds of the majority of the Republi- ¬ can members of the House. lhis statement is so bold and groundless, I do not know what reply to make. It is made in tbe face of the lact that fifty-eigh- t Republicans voted tor the resolution, aud forty-nin- besides the gentleman from Massachusetts, against it If there is any one of the lifty- - eight gentlemen who voted for tbe resolution under coercion, 1 would like for the gentleman from Massachusetts to designate him. Mr. Butler I am not here to detail private conversation. Mr. Blaine Ah! no; but you will distribute throughout the country un- ¬ founded calumnies purporting to rest upon assertions made in private con- ¬ versations, which, when called for, can't be verified. Mr. Butler Pardon me, sir; I said there was a caucus. Mr. Blaine I hopeGod will pardon you; but you ought not to ask me to do it. Laughter. Butler I will ask God, ancl not you. Blaine l am glad that tne gentle- ¬ man will. Butler I have no favors to ask of the devil. Tbe caucus agreed on a more definite mode of action after standing. The chairman of the cau- cus declared officially that it was not binding. Mr. Blaine proceeded to talk about tricks. Why, the very infamy of his political trickery never compassed a design so foolish and so wicked as to bring together a caucus, and attempt to pledge tbem to support measures which might violate not only the po- ¬ litical principles, but the religious faiths, of tbe men who support the bill drawn by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Butler) which might violate the conscientious scruples of men; and yet forsooth he comes in here and declares that whatever the caucus may determine, or however hastily, you must support it wrong- fully. Why even in the worst days of Democracy, when the gentleman himself was in the front ranks of the worse wing, was it ever attempted to say that the majority party of a caucus could bind men upon meas- ¬ ures that involved questions of Con- ¬ stitutional law, personal honor and religious scruples?" In reply to Mr. Butler's reference to the election of the Speaker, Mr. Blaine said: If tho minority did not vote against the decision of the caucus that nominated mo for Speaker, in my judgment, it was not the tault of the gentleman lrom Massachusetts. Ap- - olause. It the requisite number could have been found to have gone over to tbe despised Nazarineson the opposite side, tbat gentleman would have led them as he did the forces in the Charleston Convention. Renewed applause and laughter. I despise and denounce the insolence of tbe gentleman from Massachusetts when he attempts to say that tbe Republican from the Third district of tbe State of Maine has no right to frame a resolution, under rules, and ask the Judgment of the House on that resolution. Why, even tbe insolence of tbat gentleman, him- ¬ self, never reached tbat sublime hight tietore. Applause. On Butler's repeating the word " trick," Mr. Blaine said that there are certain repetitions which do not amount to slander, and the gentleman may repeat everything in that con- ¬ nection, as his colleague, Mr. Dawes, very well says, "except tiuth." Referring to Butler's statement that tbe resolution was framed in the in- ¬ terest of the Democratic party, so that a report could not be made Tor one year in face of the Democratic op- ¬ position, Mr. Blame said: "It has fallen under my observation that the gentleman is very ignorant of tbe rules of this tiousp," and proceeded to show tbat the report of the Com- ¬ mittee would be in order at any time during the month of December if tbe Committee choose to make a re-¬ port. If the power to report at any time has been given the gentleman might have construed it, as he has construed it for nearly two years on tbe Reconstruction Com- - imttee, to be power to report at no time. Mr, Blaine concluded by regretting the necessity for his taking the floor, and said : But the circulation of Mr. Butler's letter was intended, covertly. as an insult to the Speaker. As such, I resent it, and denounce the letter in all its essential state- ¬ ments and all IU misstutements, and in all its mean inferences and meaner innuendoes. I denounce the letter as groundless snd without justi- ¬ fication, and the gentleman hlilbtrtf. 1 trust, will live to see the lav when he will be ashamed of having written it On Butler's referring to the Speaker leaving his chair, for the first time during the Fortieth and Forty-firs- t Congresses, Mr. Blaine retorted that a preoeding incumbent of the chair, Colfax, now Vice-Presiden- t, left the chair to chastise the Insolence of a gentleman. Butler, in the course of his reply, said that he was careful to draw up his letter, so as to purely sod consistently state naked facts. The Speaker had shown him the resolution and sain nesnoum oneiiao- - tnan of the committee. He replied, "I will be damned if I will. Oreat laughter.! I will have nothing to .lo with it." I am sorry to bo obliged to use the word here, and apologize for it, but when I am asked to betray my associates, Witn wnom i nau acted in caucus, it seemed a very good one to meet the exigency. Laughter. Me, believed the Sneaker suggested to Mr. Cox, of New York, the point of order against the caucus dui. Cox That is not true. Mr. Butler replied that he did not say it was true, but believed it at the time, because he saw the Speaker conferring with a Democratic owner of rich coal fields, as he was trying to get the Democrat? to support the res ol nt ion. Blaine I was in favor of the repeal of the coal tariff, and the gentleman was not. Butler I say again, for the ways that are dark and tricks that are vain. I name the Speaker ; I rise to explain. LaugbbT. Mr. Butler proceeded to say that he knew what was coming ana ne knew he could do nothing against the reso- ¬ lution. The Speaker bad contrived it and it was forced through by the in- ¬ fluence of the Speaker on tbe floor and m the chair, with the aid of Demo- ¬ cratic votes. He exercised his right to address, in a public letter, in a newspaper and in a pamphlet, bis associates in explanation of nis position. He had replied to Mr. Kelly in temperate language. Mr. Kelly I spoke not only for my- ¬ self but for tbe great body of protec- ¬ tionists in this House, who were wronged by the statement of tbe gen- ¬ tlemen as the vote will show. Mr. Butler Very well ; I only hope that I have done those gentlemen no wrong because 1 thought if they want- ed to put before us coal and salt and iron, instead of drawing outfit h- iron that is entering into the souls of our friends at the South, they were exceedingly wrong. All this abuse of me, and this getting thus exceedingly wrathy by the Speaker against me, does not harm and will not frighten anybody it will not hurt anybody. Calling names will do no harm to me here or in the coun- ¬ try. If 1 could be killed by being called hard names, I should have died long ago. Laughter. I have with- stood rougher tongues than that one just wagged against me. I have seen abuse with more ingenuity, but not more malignity, launched at me, and I have survived ; and I will survive after the Speaker of the House has filled the Presidential chair, very long. He arraigned the Speaker's ruling, which admitted ignorance of parliamentary law, but said, "I thank God I know no more about it than I do; because I see bow it affects the man's mind who has made it a study; but 1 do think that if the Speaker had been half as anx- ¬ ious for the passage ot this bill to pro-¬ tect people in the South, as he was for the land grant measure passed from the Speaker's table last session, it would have become a law ere this." Mr. Blaine Will tbe gentleman specify what? Mr. ilutier Oh! pretty much all ot them. Blaine I do not think it worth while to say anything more than tbat it is simply and only a gratuitous calumny. A number ot members spoke briefly upon the resolution. Mr. Mayuard would do his duty a.-- - a member of the committee. Mr. Shallabarger asked to be ex- ¬ cused on account of ill health. Mr. Blair, of Michigan, chairman of the Republican caucus, said tbe un- derstanding was that every gentle- ¬ man might support what was best for the country, without considering him- self bound by the bill framed in tbe caucus. Mr. Garfield objected to and criti- ¬ cised Butler's card. Kelly, Shellabarger, Burdett, Butler and Corburn, were severally excused from service on the committee. Mr. Stevenson, a member of tho committe, said he would stand by bis ground. ihe tlouseadiourned. TELEGRAMS. The French re lief fund has reached $122,009.

From tu Meridian GsrelW, of Wednes-¬

day.MUOKlu't- - STATEMENT M ANUKACTUKED

To UHDKR.

Aaron Moore has been interview!at Jackson by the editor of the Pilot,and we publish bis statement, thislDorniuir, entire. He haa certainlyflavored it to -- uit the taste ot Kadi- -

u- -, and, as it stands, it forms a sweetlii trsei to roll under their tongues.In reading it, the first thing thatstrUcesw is Aaron's Umb like inno- -

l.ri!ir on a collision with the whites.He pretends to be merely "passingthe when he "heardaonie persona apparently speaking.''' I his - truly refreshing, in view of thefact that it "waa known here, severaldays previous to the meeting, that thenegroes expected him to addreastheui, that the court room was securedfor the purpose, and that the largecrowd of country darkies present onthe occasion, were attracted to the

ity by the announcement of hid com- ¬

ing." ZK BRANi HEEK."

jie certainly has more "cheek"t haa we him credit for. and must

inn so notorious, and innocence ofuartk-- i nation in proceedings whichhail been "cut and dried," and inv huh, as a rigid investigation willail w, he was expected by his deludedfollowers to take an active, if not aleading part. He did perform verywell, so far as words go. He euulddenounce white people, abuse thecounty officers, and warn Meridian ofthe fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, butwhen the storm was raging which hehad helped to raise, where was Aaron'.'At home while the town was inil ones. In bed while one of his con- ¬

federate was endeavoring to organizej. negro mob, and to his cowardice, itis more than probable, a schemetailed, which successfully carried out,would have deluged the city in blood.He was absent, because he knew whatwas about to happ:n, and anticipatedthe time when it would be necessaryto "know nothing, personally."

A CALM REVIEW

of t'H the circumstances, the intimacyof X.'o"re with Clopton aud Tyler, his

ou his Iabored plea of innocence, andhi strauge ab-enc- e from the scene of!i .itstruelive conflagration, whichdrew together all unsuspecting citi- -. --

. cannot be accounted for satisfac- ¬

torily ex(vpt uion the suppositionthat be expected certain events tohappen that would make Lome the

ist place.ABOUT sATI EDAY NIGHT'S KIOT.

A" to the reported disarming of thene-gri- ' Saturday night, it was anati...lu'e necessity. No leas than fourwhile 11. en are known to have been

at U. going bu the fire two ofihem. Meewrs. Hancock and Hea,

ei ouoded. The town was full ofMined negroes. Clopton had givenihe utrnal, aud Tyler and his asso- -

, .t, - wtm iu anus to carry out hisIbshMfea. In one place, before the closeof the lire, in. re than twenty negroes

were found drawn up in line. Addedto this, tbe bell At tbe African churchhad given the signal to gather the ne- -

stnw, aud but for tbe prompt actiontaken' to disarm them, tie city would,toetore morning, have been in ashes,and hundreds murdered.

THE SHERIFF'S ORDER.

by th fact that the picketa aroundMoore's church on Sunday night wereweil armeo, and that weapons werenot ; king aiijong the negroes onMouday.

AFFAIRS OP MONDAY.

We come now, to the affairs ofMonday, it can be proved by a num- -

ler of w itnesses that Warren Tylerstaled before be went into the court- ¬

house on Wednesday that be wouldhave a difficulty there and might notUav it alive. He declared be wouldkill tie tirst man who spoke to himabout leaving the city, and at leastfive or sis negroes can be found whowill testify as to bis statements of thedifficulty ihat he exftected would takepine (luring tbe trial. He declaredhe uould "kill and might be killed,"

whites were wholly ignorant ol it.HOOKK A IXINFEDEKATK OF TV LER.

We charge that Aaron Moore musthave known of the murderous inten-tions Oi Tyler. They were intiinstefriend- - slid had been together on rtat- -

led to dto bis ci

leared they might Is- - sent to jail, andthey d-i- red to put the officer, out of

the way. The plot failed becausetheir confederates becHiu alarmedwhen the firing commenced and ran

fl. If Moore was not an accompliceand a confederate, whv did be tail todisclose the threats of Tyler?JMOOBE GUILTY OF A WILFUL FALSI- ¬

FICATION OF FACTA.

Moore's whole statement is an at- ¬

tempt to create a false impression byconcealing a part of the truth. Heknows vi rv well that Warren Tyler

da'-- i

shoot him,'' were notTyler had killed Judge

it must have known how tbemmer.ced, and be is guilty offalsi ti stion of facta. He alsojaents Mr. Brantley's testi- -Taken altogether, tbe men- -report ol J. Aaron Moore

brands him as an unprincipled man,

nnvnrthv the confidence of his race.And the friendship of white men, andmakes his name a foul blot on tberolls ol tbe Legislature.

MERIDIAN.

Misrepresents

Many who have not worked beforefor years are seexing the spade andplow; they will go at once be gladto get away, and thank God whenthey have shaken the dust of Meridianfrom their heels. We can spare a fewhundred ot them very well: indeed,we would try and get along if they allleft, and endeavor to subdue anyshower " failing sorrows." Wehope of those who go will abandonthe old paths of vice and peculation,and the counsel of such men as Win.St urges, Price, Olopton and Tyler.Shun politics and carpet-bagger- andinstead of carrying pistols and shot- ¬

guns, be warrior of the toil. In thisarmy you will find peace and plenty;under this banner will you prospetand be protected.

ALECK'S WIFE.The wife of Aleck Joseph, one the

worst negroes Meridian ever tolerated,and Billy Clopton's lieutenant, hasreached Jackson. She thinks her be-¬

loved Aleck is in the woods some- ¬

where and will soon join her. Thelast we saw of him on that ever-me- -

moriable Monday he was gettingaway from the courthouse as fast ashis "walking pins" would permit.His head touched the butt of some-body's gun as be bid farewell to theroom his infamous teachings hadtUM with innocent blood. Aleck

will sow the seed of discord whereverbe goes. Treachery and trouble livein bis eyes indeed be looks capableof every crime beneath the roof ofheaven.

ANOTHER HORROR.

Filling la of a Volcano- - Over Nine Hun-

dred Person Burled A Town NoarlyConsumed by tit FUaes

London, March 10. Informationhas just reached here of a terrible ca- ¬

tastrophe which has occurred in theTyrol. "The Schlosburg," a Yesu- -vian mountain overlooking the mar- ¬

ket town of Hohenems, Tyrol, fell in,burning two principal streets of thetown and burying over nine hundredpersons, also destroying tbe principalchurch.

Telegrams now being received re-port the wildest excitement through- ¬

out Transylvania in consequence ofthe dreadful disaster at Hohenems,by which over Tiine hundred personslost their lives, and the greater por-¬

tion ot the town was consumed. Nofurther particulars have as yet beenreceived, but advices now at handconfirm the terrible nature of thecalamity.

EARTHQUAKE.

Tbe Sandwich Islands Shaken Up EffcUof the Convulsion lrjury to

Property.

From tbe New York HeraldHonoli'la, 8. L, March 2. At

seven minutes past ten o'clock on theevening of February l.sth, a very se-¬vere shock of earthquake was experi- ¬

enced at these islands. With fewexceptions the walls of all tbe stone oradobe buildings were injured. Thecottage buildings at i'unahoa aredamaged extensively. Many personsrushed into the streets from theirbeds.

Three distinct motions were feltfirst shaking horizontally, then per- -

sndicularly, and the finish was adistinct wave motion from tbe south- ¬

west. The violence of the shockhvsted twenty seconds, the whole fullya minute.

At I.ahaika much damage was doneto buildings. The Seminary build- ¬

ings suffered most, the walls beingshaken to pieces, though they did notfall.

At McKee's plantation a train ofsugar kettles was badly injured.

ither localities did not sutler much.At Molokai, nearly all the stone

walls were leveled, and the frame ofa building thrown down. The roadto the Leper Asylum was destroyed.

On Lanaia, the shock was verysevere. Clefts have been opened ondiflerent parts of the island, the val-ley being full of masses ot earths androcks, shaken from the mouulaintop- -.

On Hawaii but little damage wasdone. The Hilo and Kan districtsreceived a slight shaking. The volca- ¬

no is very active, but was evidentlyinnocent of participation in the earth- ¬

quake. Parties on two different islandsstate that a bright light was visible inthe eastern sky. (.'bunnies on sugarplantations suflered little. Severalslock - have been experienced since,but they were not severe.

The l.ifstr Suestion will soon lie set- ¬

tled. Two companiesof Chinese havelanded here, seeking work one lromChina and one from Tahiti.

WASHINGTON.

DOVHbni OF OPINION IN THEJOINT HIUH COMMISSION.

Washington, March Jti. Sessionsof tbe Joint High Commission areheld daily. Fears are prevailing insome quartern that tne recent discus- ¬

sion has developed diflereuces of opin- ¬

ion which may prevent a peacefulsettlement. In reply to a question,yesterday, one of the American Com-¬

missioners said, in a significant man- ¬

ner, if the commission was able toreach satisfactory conclusions at all, itwould terminate its labors by themiddle of April. It is believed thattiie difficulty lies in the inability ofthe English Commissioners to meetthe preliminary requirements for ne- ¬

gotiations stated by the AmericanCommissioners as to the Alabamaliabilities.

tXNFIRH ATIOKH BY THE SENATE.Tbe Senate confirmed the following

nominations: Adam C. Smith, Col-¬

lector of Internal Revenue for theFirst J ' strict of Minnesota; D. A.Davidson, Collector of lntvnai Reve- ¬

nue for the Sixth District of Tonnesme; William R. Smith, Receiver ofPlil. lie Money, Sioux City.

The Joint committee's resolution onKu-Kiu- x Outrages, was adopted by126 yeas to (i4 nays. Of tbe yeas, .V

were Republicans and i'X leinocrts.( if the nays, ;u were Republicans, and14 Democrats, Ho a majority of eachparty present voted for the resolu- ¬

tion.RADICAL CAUCT8.

The Republican Senators held an- ¬

other caucus this afternoon to con- ¬

sider the question whether It wouldbe advisable to enact a bill for tbesuppression ot Ku Kim outrages inthe South. It is probable that a ma- ¬

jority will decide that it isinexpedient to take any action on thesubject at present, and thaf the Senateshould concur in the House resolutionfor adjournment next week. Amongthe Senators opposed to any legisla- ¬

tion this session in regard to the con- ¬

dition of aflairs in the South are un- ¬

derstood to be Messrs. Trumbull,natulan, Morrill Buckingham, Conk- -

iing,Hawyer, Kellogg and Robertson.The caucus adjourned till 10 a.m. to- ¬

morrow.

FRIGHTFUL SCENES IN NORTHERNFRANCE.

Loniwjn, March 16. A special dis- ¬

patch from Lille to the News says thebattlefields in tbe north of Francethreaten to beooM a serious pestilenee. Dead bodies are found floatingin the dykes and marshes, and activemeasures are being taken for theirinterment.

HAYTI.

OPPOSITION TO ANNEXATION.Port-au-Princ- e, Hayti, March

7. The Havtiens are bitterly opposedto annexation. The Commissioners,however, were received civilly. Ca- ¬

brera strength consists almost whollyin his Haytien supporters. The ques- ¬

tions of debt and disputed boundaryare tbe most important raised sincethe last dispatches. Mr. Howe hadarranged for a pretty thorough ex- ¬

ploration of this section of Hayti, butMr. Wade insisted that there was noauthority for it and it should not bedone. The second day after theirarrival here, Messrs. Wade and Howecalled upon the President and Cabinetof Hsyti. After the interchange ofcourtesies, an informal conversationoccurred; when Mr. Wade said hegreatly regretted not being able tospeak their language, because hethoUL'tit he could say a great aeai toallay the present feeling toward theL nited States, by showing wnere me

misunderstood the UnitedStates. President flaget earnestlyreuliid that the educated class inHayti fully understood and appreci- ¬

ated the condition ol tne unitedStates, but that a large class only re- ¬

membered the slavery which existedthere, and they had themselves beenslaves and it was impossible to influ- ¬

ence them. The President is not ex- ¬

pected to visit the Commissioners, onaccount of the general and popularfeeling against their presence. Wadeis anxious not to complicate mattersby arming Cabral here, wishing toavoid all appearances, while in Hayti,ot prosecuting investigations lookingto annexation.

nouueement to the inhabitants thatBarie and San Cristoval had pulleddown the Dominican colors and raisedthe American flag. The revolutionaryforce, composed of the adherents of

Complication! of tbn Erie Railroad Co.

New York, March 16. The World' tfinancial writer says : The complica- -

tions, legal and otherwise, of the ErieRailroad Company seem to be increas- ¬

ing. An injuction is iu force againsttbe Erie company issuing or sellingconsolidated mortgage bonds, whichIs likely to embarrass the company'sfinances; tbe strikes and demoralisa- ¬

tion of the coal trade have caused aloss of about $o00,noi) per month in.,earnings during the winter; the float-¬

ing debt of the company has beenincreased to about $6,ino,000, and tbesale of consolidated bonds was intend- ¬

ed to raise money to pay tbe liabili- -

liei. and there has been a considerablereduction in tbe ratee for travel to theWest. Colonists' tickets are nowissued by various lines at reducedrates. Holders ot these tickets areentitled) to first class-passa- on ex- ¬

press trains, with loo pounds ot bag- ¬

gage free, and with a correspondingreduction for tbe transportation oftheir household goods and farmingimplements, within twelve days fromtbe date of purchase. For the specialaccommodation of persons visitingthe West to select lands and home- ¬

steads and return for their families,excursion tickets are now sold fa newfeature), good for the round trip,within thirty days from the date ofpurchase,

At the examination In Mobile onFriday, of the recent railroad riot inthat city, in reply to a remark madebv Colonel Stewart, that the road hadexpended already $7,000,000, AdmiralSemmes stated that it was in bad tastefor men to come South in a tone of de-¬

fiance and boast of bringing Northerncapital and Northern enterprise forthe development of that section in theface of the tact that they had got outof two States under Radical rule al- ¬

ready $11,000,000, and are entitled to$16,000 per mile more tor every footof road laid in his own State. Theclaim of expending Northern capitali not sustained by facto.

MEMPHIS, TENlsT., FEIBAY. MARCH 17, 1871.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Washington. March 16. Borne.Mr. Kelly rose to a personal explana- ¬

tion and denial of the charge made inthe circular issued by Mr. Butler, ofMassachusetts, that tne nign tannRepresentatives combined with theDemocrats to pass Air. reiers resolu- ¬

tion yesterday, and then asked to beexcused from serving on me committee annointed under the resolution.

Mr. Butler replied that he did notrefer to Mr. Kelly, and said tbat Mr.Peters' resolution was a trick to de- ¬

feat the caucus Ku-Kln- x bill.Mativ Republicans voted yea, feir

ing to compromise themselves byvoting nay.

Peters defended his resolution.Dawes said nobody seemed to trou

ble themselves about it but Butler.Sneaker Blaine took the floor, Mr

Wheeler in the chair, and proceededto say that he showed the resolutionto Butler, of Massachusetts, in his(Blaine's) handwriting, and added,at Butler's suggestion, the words"and the expenses of this committeeshall be paid from the contingentfund of the House of Representa- ¬

tives" applause a fact that waysand means were wanted to pay theexpenses was the only objection bemade to it.

Butler Was not my answer that,under no circumstances would I haveanything to do with It, being boundby action of caucus r

Blaine No, sir; your answer was,tbat under no circumstances wouldvou serve as chairman.

Mr. Blaine proceeded to say that heappointed Butler chairman, becausehe knew very well if he omitted theappointment, the gentlman would oeheralded throughout the length andbreadth of the country by clacqnerswho have so industriously distributedf,bis letter this morning, that thespeaker had packed;tbe committee, asa gentleman said he would, with weak- -

kneed Republicans, who would notgo into an investigation as vigorouslyas he would. That was the reasonbe made the appointment. Ap-plause. So the chair had laid the re-¬

sponsibility upon gentlemen decliningtbe appoiutment.

Butler I know that was a trick ofthe chair.

Mr. Blaine Ah, trick! I know newwhat the gentleman meant by theword "trick." I am very glad toknow the trick was successful. It isthis trick which places the gentlemanfrom Massachusetts ou his resposibilitybefore the country, rne gentlemanfrom Massachusetts says in his letter:"Having been appointed, against mywishes, expressed both publicly anclprivately, by the Speaker as chairmanof the committee to investigatethe state of affairs in theSouth, ordered to-da- y by Dem- ¬

ocratic votes, against the mostearnest protest of more than two- -

thirds of the majority of the Republi- ¬

can members of the House. lhisstatement is so bold and groundless, Ido not know what reply to make. Itis made in tbe face of the lact thatfifty-eigh- t Republicans voted tor theresolution, aud forty-nin- besides thegentleman from Massachusetts, againstit If there is any one of the lifty- -

eight gentlemen who voted for tberesolution under coercion, 1 would likefor the gentleman from Massachusettsto designate him.

Mr. Butler I am not here to detailprivate conversation.

Mr. Blaine Ah! no; but you willdistribute throughout the country un- ¬

founded calumnies purporting to restupon assertions made in private con- ¬

versations, which, when called for,can't be verified.

Mr. Butler Pardon me, sir; I saidthere was a caucus.

Mr. Blaine I hopeGod will pardonyou; but you ought not to ask me todo it. Laughter.

Butler I will ask God, ancl notyou.

Blaine l am glad that tne gentle- ¬

man will.Butler I have no favors to ask of

the devil. Tbe caucus agreed on amore definite mode of action afterstanding. The chairman of the cau-cus declared officially that it was notbinding.

Mr. Blaine proceeded to talk abouttricks. Why, the very infamy of hispolitical trickery never compassed adesign so foolish and so wicked as tobring together a caucus, and attemptto pledge tbem to support measureswhich might violate not only the po- ¬

litical principles, but the religiousfaiths, of tbe men who support thebill drawn by the gentleman fromMassachusetts (Butler) which mightviolate the conscientious scruples ofmen; and yet forsooth he comes inhere and declares that whatever thecaucus may determine, or howeverhastily, you must support it wrong-fully. Why even in the worst daysof Democracy, when the gentlemanhimself was in the front ranks of theworse wing, was it ever attemptedto say that the majority party of acaucus could bind men upon meas- ¬

ures that involved questions of Con- ¬

stitutional law, personal honor andreligious scruples?"

In reply to Mr. Butler's reference tothe election of the Speaker, Mr. Blainesaid: If tho minority did not voteagainst the decision of the caucus thatnominated mo for Speaker, in myjudgment, it was not the tault of thegentleman lrom Massachusetts. Ap--olause. It the requisite number couldhave been found to have gone over totbe despised Nazarineson the oppositeside, tbat gentleman would have ledthem as he did the forces in theCharleston Convention. Renewedapplause and laughter. I despiseand denounce the insolence oftbe gentleman from Massachusettswhen he attempts to say thattbe Republican from the Thirddistrict of tbe State of Maine has noright to frame a resolution, underrules, and ask the Judgment of theHouse on that resolution. Why, eventbe insolence of tbat gentleman, him- ¬

self, never reached tbat sublime highttietore. Applause.

On Butler's repeating the word" trick," Mr. Blaine said that thereare certain repetitions which do notamount to slander, and the gentlemanmay repeat everything in that con- ¬

nection, as his colleague, Mr. Dawes,very well says, "except tiuth."

Referring to Butler's statement thattbe resolution was framed in the in- ¬

terest of the Democratic party, sothat a report could not be made Torone year in face of the Democratic op- ¬

position, Mr. Blame said: "It hasfallen under my observation that thegentleman is very ignorant of tberules of this tiousp," and proceededto show tbat the report of the Com- ¬

mittee would be in order at any timeduring the month of December if tbeCommittee choose to make a re-¬

port. If the power to reportat any time has been giventhe gentleman might have construedit, as he has construed it for nearlytwo years on tbe Reconstruction Com- -

imttee, to be power to report at notime.

Mr, Blaine concluded by regrettingthe necessity for his taking the floor,and said : But the circulation of Mr.Butler's letter was intended, covertly.as an insult to the Speaker. As such,I resent it, and denounce theletter in all its essential state- ¬ments and all IU misstutements,and in all its mean inferences andmeaner innuendoes. I denounce theletter as groundless snd without justi- ¬

fication, and the gentleman hlilbtrtf.1 trust, will live to see the lav whenhe will be ashamed of having writtenit

On Butler's referring to the Speakerleaving his chair, for the first timeduring the Fortieth and Forty-firs- tCongresses, Mr. Blaine retorted thata preoeding incumbent of the chair,Colfax, now Vice-Presiden- t, left thechair to chastise the Insolence of agentleman.

Butler, in the course of hisreply, said that he was carefulto draw up his letter, so as topurely sod consistently state naked

facts. The Speaker had shown him theresolution and sain nesnoum oneiiao- -

tnan of the committee. He replied,"I will be damned if I will. Oreatlaughter.! I will have nothing to.lo with it." I am sorry to bo obligedto use the word here, and apologizefor it, but when I am asked to betraymy associates, Witn wnom i nauacted in caucus, it seemed a very goodone to meet the exigency. Laughter.Me, believed the Sneaker suggested toMr. Cox, of New York, the point oforder against the caucus dui.

Cox That is not true.Mr. Butler replied that he did not

say it was true, but believed it at thetime, because he saw the Speakerconferring with a Democratic owner ofrich coal fields, as he was trying toget the Democrat? to support the resol nt ion.

Blaine I was in favor of the repealof the coal tariff, and the gentlemanwas not.

Butler I say again, for the waysthat are dark and tricks that are vain.I name the Speaker ; I rise to explain.LaugbbT.Mr. Butler proceeded to say that he

knew what was coming ana ne knewhe could do nothing against the reso-¬

lution. The Speaker bad contrived itand it was forced through by the in- ¬

fluence of the Speaker on tbe floor andm the chair, with the aid of Demo- ¬

cratic votes. He exercised his rightto address, in a public letter, in anewspaper and in a pamphlet, bisassociates in explanation of nisposition. He had replied to Mr.Kelly in temperate language.

Mr. Kelly I spoke not only for my- ¬

self but for tbe great body of protec- ¬

tionists in this House, who werewronged by the statement of tbe gen- ¬

tlemen as the vote will show.Mr. Butler Very well ; I only hope

that I have done those gentlemen nowrong because 1 thought if they want-ed to put before us coal andsalt and iron, instead of drawingoutfit h- iron that is entering intothe souls of our friends at the South,they were exceedingly wrong. Allthis abuse of me, and this gettingthus exceedingly wrathy by theSpeaker against me, does not harmand will not frighten anybody it willnot hurt anybody. Calling names willdo no harm to me here or in the coun- ¬

try. If 1 could be killed by beingcalled hard names, I should have diedlong ago. Laughter. I have with-stood rougher tongues than that onejust wagged against me. I have seenabuse with more ingenuity, but notmore malignity, launched at me, andI have survived ; and I will surviveafter the Speaker of the House hasfilled the Presidential chair,very long. He arraigned theSpeaker's ruling, which admittedignorance of parliamentary law, butsaid, "I thank God I know no moreabout it than I do; because I see bowit affects the man's mind who hasmade it a study; but 1 do think thatif the Speaker had been half as anx- ¬

ious for the passage ot this bill to pro-¬

tect people in the South, as he was forthe land grant measure passed fromthe Speaker's table last session, itwould have become a law ere this."

Mr. Blaine Will tbe gentlemanspecify what?

Mr. ilutier Oh! pretty much all otthem.

Blaine I do not think it worthwhile to say anything more than tbatit is simply and only a gratuitouscalumny. A number ot membersspoke briefly upon the resolution.

Mr. Mayuard would do his duty a.-- -

a member of the committee.Mr. Shallabarger asked to be ex- ¬

cused on account of ill health.Mr. Blair, of Michigan, chairman of

the Republican caucus, said tbe un-derstanding was that every gentle- ¬

man might support what was best forthe country, without considering him-self bound by the bill framed in tbecaucus.

Mr. Garfield objected to and criti- ¬

cised Butler's card.Kelly, Shellabarger, Burdett, Butler

and Corburn, were severally excusedfrom service on the committee.

Mr. Stevenson, a member of thocommitte, said he would stand by bisground.
