may be the plans of the Florida
. managers , to uee-a Ben BullerlKm ,
- Ucd and ttre-THHuagere o fhe
movement only know. " Eyen the
BmoUo whfch was supposed to be be
hind the McLin confession seems to
have died out , and but little is now
said of the scandal except that there
will eurely be nu investigation.
JRapublicans who , when the scandal
was first sprung , were inclined to
employ tactics to defeat any inquiry
into the subject , now say they will
Ititerpose no obstacles to investlga-
galkii , but , if it is ordered ,
will insist that it shall uot
be confined to Florida , but
shall be made to cover the election
in all tbo { States. It is believed that
the desire which the Republicans
now show for an investigation is
inspired by the belief that they have
facts which will show that the over
tures in the way of bargaining came
from the Democrats ; that they can
prove that Mr. Hayes made no prop-
obitlon for Southern suppjrt , and
that it came from Henator Lamar ;
and that the first movement in the
Presidential sale was a proposition
from Southern members , presented
in their behalf by Col. Roberts at
the famous Columbus conference ;
that they can prove that the cele
brated Wormley conference was invited -
vited and sanctioned by this same
influence ; nnd that , in all the
disgraceful bargaining inci
dent to the Presidential steal , South
ern members were first to come for
ward with overtures. The Demo
crats have reason to believe that , if
there is a thorough reopening of
the question , one of iheir own party
will be placed in a position which
will make explanations hitjuly nec
essary. While the campaign capi
tal made by investigation would be
evidently more advantageous to the
Democrats as a party than to the
Republicans , yet they feel an ap
prehension , if the matter 11 probed
to the quick , that there will be sev
eral distinguished Democratic
hearts that will ache. Hence it is
that , while the Northern Democrats
are anxious for investigation , the
Eame zeal is not displayed by their
Southern colleagues.
A LEQAE VIEW OP IT
Washington , May 7. The Wash
ington Post yesteiday published a
double-leaded editorial , the points
- of which are as follows.
According to one of the most
cultivated legal minds In the House
of Representatives , there need be
no apprehension in the mind of any
auti-Tilden Democrat that the in
vestigation of the Electoral frauds ,
even though it should result in the
unseating of Hayes , could have the
eflect of installing the JNew York re
former in his stead. The eminent
lawyer makes the following declar
ation : Under all laws governing
successions under constitutional
forms , a strict observance of these
forms is requisite to a perfection of
title. It is necessary that
A PRESIDENT SHOULD TAKE THE
OATH THE 4TH DAY OF MARCH ,
which , it is asserted , Tiiden failed
to do. His friends besought him to
go through with the forms of taking
the oath to perfect his title. Tiiden
at first Intended to take the oath in
a public manner , bnt abandoned the
design as soon as he learned of
Grant's determination to arrest him
on the charge of treason and throw
him into Fortress Monroe as an in
stigator of sedition and rebellion
upon bis appearance at the Capitol
for that purpose.
THAT GRANT WAS PREPARED FOR
SUCH ACTION ,
and would have seized Tllden'e per
son , is well known to many of both
parties , and that Tiiden was re
strained by his knowledge of such a
peril is equally notorious in private
circles. The consequence is , that ,
if Hayes and Wheeler should be de
posed , the succession would bo
vacant , and tbe House would pro
ceed to elect , as if there had been
no choice by the electoral college ,
the presiding officer of the Sen
ate discharging the duties of the
Presidency simply ad interim be-
tweeti the deposition of Hayes and
the election by the House.
BILLS AGREED UPON.
The house committee on education
and labor to-day agreed upon the
bill making it a misdemeanor fora
master of a vessel to take more than
fifteen Chinese passengers , male or
female , to the United States after
January 1st , 1879. The committee
also agreed upon tbe bill authoriz
ing distribution to public libraries
of one copy of every document pub
lished for public distribution by
congress.

SENATE.
Washington , May 7. Mr. Dorcey ,
from the committee on appropria
tions , reported the postofflce appro-
priatlon bill with amendments.
Placed on tha calendar.
He also reported back Mr. Max.
ey's amendment granting the Bra
zilian subsidy for mail steamship
service without recommendation
from the Bamecommitee _ that % the
pcptolllce committee might submit
it.
it.The
The senate by a vote of 33 to 25 ,
agreed to the motion of Mr. Cock-
rell to take up the bouse bill forbidding -
ding further retirement of Untied
States legal tender notes and to read
it a second time.
Messrs. Davis , Oglesby and Saunders -
ders voted aye. Messrs. Allison ,
Klrkwood and Paddock voted nay.
It was then read a second time and
Mr. Merrill moved to refer it to the
finance committee.
Pending discussion the morning
liour expired and the consideration
of the pension appropriation bill
was resumed.
Mi. Sargent explained that he
erred yesterday in the number of
pensioners added to the rolls this
year. It was 10,491 , not 25,2a5.
The pending question being on
the amendment of tbe second sec
tion by a substitute making disabled
wounded soldiers or their widows or
orphans , pension agents after Janu
ary 1st , 1879 , Mr. Edmunds said
this was contrary to the spirit of the
laws for which tbe soldiers fought.
It was engrafting legislation upon
appropriation bil'tt ; that Vermont
soldiers would scorn this method of
tickling their fancy to get their
votes , and he would oppose the
whole thing.
The Senate , by a vote of 38 to 16 ,
then refused to adopt this substi
"
tute.
Mr. Edmunds moved to strike
out the second section of the bill
which makes disabled Union sol-
diera the pension agents immedi
ately upon passage of this bill. He
B'Ud ' the true policy was to leave
: uese matters to the President and
ils constitutional advisers. He had
good reasons to believe they had not
rightfully exercised that responsi
bility during the past year. In
consolidating the seven New Eng-
and agencies into one , six soldiers
lad been discliarged , and the civil ,
an retained. He was disposed to
et the responsibility reat with the
President.
Mr. wadleigh said the civilian
was retained because his office , be-
ng at Concord w&a convenient to
Maine and Vermont.
Mr. Elaine denied that the Con-
: ord office was convenient ; on tbe
contrary it was most inaccessible.
Mr. Voorhees favored directing
he President to appoint soldiers to
pension agencies. It was approprl-
ite legislation.
Mr. Edmunds' motion to strike
jut was rejected yeas 29 , nays 39
The bill was then reported to the
Senate , amendments of the cnm-
nitteeof the whole concurred in
ind it passed.
Mr. Paddock submitted a resolu-
ion requesting the President to fur-
ilsh the Senate with information
elatlve to tbe land grant Eubsidy to
he St. Joseph and Denver City
railroad , the number of miles com
peted , and whether it has been
inished to the point of connection
with the Onion Poclfic designated
m the plan in the Interior Depart
ment , etc. Agreed to.
Mr. Allison called up the Indian
appropriation bill , and in explaua-
lon said the committee on appro
priations had made very few
tmendments as it came from the
Elouse. The amendments were un-
mgortant. He moved the five
minutes rule be applied to the dis-
jusslon of amendments. Agreed to.
A large number of amendments
reported by the committee on ap
propriations was agreed to. Also
he amendment authorizing the
jommlttee on Indian affairs to em
ploy two special Indian agents at
arge at a compensation not exceed-
ng $2,000 each per annum.
Mr. Maxey moved to amend tbe
louse bill so as to provide for the
emoval of the Nez Perces Indians
f Joseph's band to Idaho territory ,
nstead of Indian territory as ihe
louse proposed.
A long discussion ensued as to
vhether the Indians preferred to go
o the Indian territory or back to
daho , nnd what tbe Indian de-
artment department desired in re-
ard to them etc.
Pending discussion the senate
vent into executive session , and
vhen tbe doors reopened adjourned.
HOUSE *
The House , immediately aftes the
eading of the journal resumed con-
[ deration of the District of Colum-
ia bill , with Mr. Thompson in the
hair.
Mr. Eden moved to make the
overnment liable for 40 instead of
{ / per cent of the District expenses.

The amendment of the committee
naktng the government pay Inter-
st on 3 65 bonds , but not making it
( able fur the principal , was agreed
o.
Some other amendments were re
acted , and the bill passed without
be yeas and nays.
Mr. Wood moved the House go
nto committee of the whole on the
arifl bill. A standing vote stood
9 to 89 , but on the yeas and nays
eing called the motion was agreed
o , 109 to 108 , which vote was so
ured by hunting up absent demo
rats , amidst some excitement and
hanges from no to aye by Messrs.
Sagan , Bouck , Patterson , Cole and
Jaldwell.
The House then'went into com-
nittee of the whole , Mr. Sayler in
ho chair , on the tariff bill , and Mr.
ianks spoke in opposition thereto

Election * in North Carolina.
Raleigh , N. C. , May 6. The reg
ular Democratic municipal ticKets
were everywhere victorious over
the radicals , disorganizing inde
pendents and bolters. There was a
fight at Weldon. A dispute arose
as to negroes' right to vote , which
led to words and then blows. Eight
or ten shots were then fired at the
rioters. John Pnrnell , negro , was
shot In the mouth and died in five
hours. Another negro was shot in
the shoulder. The excitement was
great and tbe people ware wild at
the time. It is now quiet.
Weldon , IN. C. , May 6. The
election of town commissioners was

began , and clubs , knives and pis
tols were used. Quite a number of
persons were shot , cut and bruised.
One negro will die , it is thought ,

Impending Danger to Oniana.
For several months past ugly ru
mors have been afloat concerning
Lhe permanent injury , if not total
annihilation , of an important
branch of tbe mercantile interests
of Omaha. Many of our best busi
ness men have listened to these fly
ing reports with fear and trembling ,
and have studiously avoided speaking -
ing ol them unless compelled to do
30 , and then conversations were in
variably carried on in a whisper.
Notwithstanding this studied at
tempt at suppression , the danger
baa been gradually and surely in-
Ireasinz. and as it would be folly to
Dcnger maintain silence , we bay
iecided to let the people know the
' true inwardness" of the whole
business. But first we desire to call
the attention of our readers to the

pears on our local page , and after

THE O'KEEFE HEIR FOUND ,
A trnall Tradesman Falls Heir to
$25,000,009.
Cork Constitution.
Limerick , April 16. A few
months ago I informed you of tbe
wonderful luck o ! the Limencb
Buckleys In being discovered M the
triie heirs of about 250,000 in Aus.
tralia , left to them by a poor boy ,
who , a criminal , left this city some
forty years ago. In Clare a poor
shoemaker was also discovered as
ttio heir to about 100,000 ; but these
chance bits of fortune "pale their
ineffectual fires" before the latest
case of Hlgood luck. " Yesterday
Mr. D. P. McCarthy , a native of
Cork , architect , of Barringtou street ,
.received a letter signed " ( * . A.
Stanley , INew cquare , Lincoln's
Inn , " informing him as follows :
"I am directed to inform you that
the first installment of the O'Keeffe
legacy has como to hand in your
fayor for 500,000. The whole or
the creator portion ot tbo 5,000-
000 left by the deceased will come to
you , except the portion allotted to
your brothers , about which the
crown will decide. " Mr. McCarthy
received the Intimation " "with
great equanimity and quiet thank
fulness that his first cousin , Charles
Robert O'Keeae , late of Allahabad ,
India , who died a bachelor , had left
him euch a splendid fortuue , which
made him'a millionaire five times
repeated. The deceased parents of
Mr. O'Keeffe resided in Cork , and
carried ou a respectable business
there as general merchants. His
father and mother had occasion to
visit London , and there , contrary to
all expectation , his mother was
suddenly confined to a hotel , and
gave birth to the founder of the col
ossal fortune. Both Mr. O'Keefe's
parents died before he reached his
majority. He had one brother and
one sister , but both are dead. The
arother died in Australia , to which
tie emigrated many years ago , and
his sister died in Cork.
The chief heir in Limerick was
often invited by the five-millionaire
to go to India , but he had to decline
the tempting offer m consequence
of a naturally delicate constitution ,
unfitted to stand the torrid zone.
He had also to decline a similar
offer from the deceased's brothers
to go out to Australia , to both of
whom he stood in the relationship
of first cousin , the mothers of the
aeir and the deceased being siatera.
After a time spent in Cork willi his
father , and while yet only about 18
years of age , Mr. U'Keefe made bis
way to India , where he enlisted a < <
a private toldier. Here in this new
sphere of life , bis old habits never
forsook him. He studied men ,
manners , but , above all , business.
By assiduity and good conduct , he
at last received a commission , but
le did not retain It long , believing
hat commerce was bis real forte.
Service in the east during
; he year 1842 naturally suggested to
life mind that he could make money
by engaging in the opium traffic and
other great branches of trade carried
on in tbe east , and so he went into
the opium trade , some said as an
agent of the East India company ,
others on his own account. Be this
as it may , by close attention to busi
ness and good luck he soon acquired
a colossal fortuue , which will aston-
sh many a modern Croesus five
millions of money in ready cash ,
and an income of 150,000 from
anded and other property ! Mr.
O'Keeffe died , unmarried , in Febru
ary , 1876 , when Messrs. Carrington
& Whlgley , of Calcutta , advertised
or heirs , of which , apparently ,
here was no lack , no fewer than 17-5
applicants putting in claims as the
next of kin of the deceased , but
hey were all put aside in favor of
Hr. McCarthy , of Limerick , who
has four brothers , each of whom
will come In for a twenty-fifth part
) f the money and estate , but Mr.
McCarthy will be the recipient of
he great bulk of the fortune.
Tbe first intimation Mr. Mc
Carthy had of deceased's death was
hrough Mr. Maurice Leuthun , J.
? . , of the Limerick Reporter , band
og him a paper in which the heirs
were advertised for. Sir. McCarthy
at once placed his case ns heir in
ha hands of Mr. Isaac Butt , mem
ber for the city , who , having inter
ested himself on Mr. McCarthy's
account , has had a good deal to do
with the recognition of the iatter's
claims as the real heir to this im-
nenso property in conjunction with
iis-brothere , Mr. McCarthy being
he eldest. The heir is a very iu-
lustrious and energetic man , and
ms just completed the buildius ; of a
errace of houses on his own account ,
which he named Barrington terrace ,
when the letter , "On Her Mnjoaly'e
eryice" proclaimed to him Lis tm-
irecedented good fortune. His
atber is an independent farmer re-
idlng at Abbyfeale , where his
notber died ? and all the family are
u comfortable or even independent
Ircumstances. The heir served bis
ime in Cork , where he was born ,
with the building firm of Messrs.
) ickson and Taylor. At on early
ge he started business for himself
n Newcastle Weat , and after sever-
1 years of close application to busi-
683 was selected as architect to the
cclesiastlcal commissioners up to
is period of tbe disestablishment af
he Irish church. Since then he
as resided and carried on his buis-
ess in Limerick with | tccustomep
oed business habits , and was m
eceipt of a competence , if not more.
McCarthy has a family of ten young
hildren.
The Tnileries commission has re-
olved to recommend restoration of

New York , Way 7. A dispatch
from .London says tbe basis of an
arrangement which tbe powers de
sired to submit to tbe Czar bas been
agreed upon in five divisions. Tbe
first division proposes two regione
of Bulgaria , nortb of tbe Balkans ,
be conceded to Russia , and tbe
southern portion shall remain to a
great extent under the authority oi
tbe Sultan.
The second dviaion relates solely
to Asiatic compensation , which it is
proposed shall be reduced to a
mlQlmum.
The third division relates to the
Straits question and will be arrang
ed hereafter.
The fourth division demands de-
Qnitive settlement of the war in
demnity.
Under the fifth division it is pro
posed Thessaly and Epirus be ac
corded the right of self-government ,
thus securing for them the protec
tion of Europe and natiobal inde
pendence.
GORKOHAKOFF'S ILLNESS.
London , May 7. It seems to be
the general impression that Prince
Gortschakofl 'Will not be able to re
sume the chancellorship.
PBE3ENT ENDEAVORS
are stateit to be directed to securing
auch an understanding between
England and Russia as will permit
the assembling of the congress with
out a certainty of failure. To this
end direct communicate are passing
between the two governments with
a view of ascertaining what modifl
citions La Europe and Asia would
render the Ban Htefano treaty ac
ceptable.
Tbe Journal de St. Petersburg
says the proper interpretation to
give to Count HohouvaloQ's visit to
that city , is that the Anglo-Russian
negotiations have entered a more
precise phase.
3REAT MISERY AND DESTITUTION
prevails among the peasants of tbe
Russian government of Hassan
Viatka , Nijaii Novgorod , Perm and
Sim brisk.
A STRAW.
The most important army corps
in front of Constantinople is com.
nanded by an Englishman , Baker
Pasha. Capt. Manthorpe , an Eng-
.isman , second in command of the
Turkish fleet , bas just received a
iecoration from the Sultan.
PRIVATEERINO.
Attempts to create a scare about
Russian privateers was done to
iffeot underwriters , who continue
willing to take any quantity of
risks on British hulls at seven to
ten shillings.
MUNITIONS.
Twelve hundred Martini-Henry
Iflea have been ordered shipped to
Malta immediately for the Indian
jontingent.
A NATIONAL CONVENTION
trill be called in London to protest
igalnst war , should the government
; tke further measures likely , in the
> plhion of the liberals , to lead to
rar.
rar.The
The statements of Northcote in
; be House of Commons last evening
ire regarded as reassuring , and it is
ilso thought that the visit of Count
johouvalofl , Russian ambassador at
London , to St. Petersburg , cannot
be otherwise than
ttOPEFUL TO THK CAUSE OP PEACE ,
13 he can explain the temper and
dews of the English government
* nd people more effectually than
jould be done in correspondence.
The change in the public opinion oi
Russia in a peaceful direction is said
to be very marked , and is tbe result
> f a recognition of serious consequences
quences that would inevitably re-
> ult from a new war. The Czar ia
larsonally directing negotiation
irlth tbe assistance of Biron Jam-
nl. The Czu's predilections are
> ntirelyin favor of peace.
BACK PAY.
A Russian correspondent writes
rom Cracow that the Russian gov.
trnment is said to owe the oompa-
ly victualing the army 20,000,000
onbles. The compiny must BUS-
> end unless paid immediatelp.
A diupaicn from Vienna snys tbe
nsurgents seem to hwe disap
> eared entirely from Maritzi val
ey , but it is unknown that they
lave been driven or merely con-
lentratiog to resist the large Rus-
ian reinforcements.
