Q. Was ho on the same floor with

Q. Did you have any conversa
, , , , . tion with Mr. Cams .at .tho last iSea.
aion of the legislature , in which you
authorized him in. any way to influ
ence Mr. Robberta' vote ? A. I never
had any such conversation with Mr.
Cams. I never authorized him to
offer money to anyone.
Q. Did you know that ho had made
a proposition of that kind to Rob
beries ? A. No sir.
Q. Did Cams have any authority to
make such an offer from anybody ?
A. Not to my knowledge. Ho cer
tainly had none from mo.
Q What did occur bet ween you and
Mr. Cams ? A. I with to state before
going further that I never had any
conversation with Mr. Robborts , and
have never talked with him on rail
road matters. All that I know about
this transaction ia that some two or
three conversations were had by mo
with Mn Cams. I can't give th details -
tails , but can give the substance there
of. Some time , after the appointment
of the committees , perhaps a week ,
Mr. Oarns came to my room and said
that he had something to tell ran that
would surprise me. I asked him what
it waa , and ho said : "What do you
think ? Jake Robberta wanta $5,000
for his influence aa chairman of the
railroad committee. " Ho said that
Mr. Robberts had an interview with
him , and stated that ho was there on
expense ; that he had a family to take
care of and was poor , and that if the
U. P. wanted to prevent unfat arable
legislation he could do them a great
deal of harm , unless they did some
thing for him. Robborta had asked
him to come to me and toll mo what
ho wanted. Ho told Robberts that
ho wouldn't bring the message , and
told him to bring it himself. Mr.
Cams said to me : ' 'John , I simply
bring this w rd from Robberts ; I am
much surprised at it. I wash my
hands of the whole business , I
thought it right that you should
know what Robborts eaid. "
I told him , in substance , that it
was somewhat remarkable , both in the
demand and the amount. I had no
money to give any man. I said I
couldn't ' help what Robborts might
do. Some time thereafter , perhaps a
week later , Cams came to mo again ,
/ and said that ho was unwilling to
come , but that Robborts sent him ;
that Robborts was friendly on Sena
torial matters , and ho said that Rob-
borts had told him that he didn't believe -
liovo that I had told Mr , Kiraball
what ho wanted ; that wo didn't appre
ciate the importance of his position
towards us ; that Whedon would have
got $10,000 if he hold the place , and
that ho was worth half aa much. Ho
wanted the thing settled at once , I
told Oarns that there wasn't any use
of my going to Mr. Kimball ; that if
Robborta wished to come in and fight a1
the railroads , all right. I afterward
saw Mr , Kimball at Omaha , and told
him that Robborts wanted $5,000 and
was threatening to harm us if ho did
not get it , Mr , Kimball asked me if
Robberts had come to me with such a
demand , I said no , but that Mr.
Cams had brought it. Mr. Kimball
said , "You know that wo have no
money to buy members of the legisla
ture with , and can't bo blackmailed
out of a cent. " I then told Cams
that it would bo well for Robborts to
act conservatively with the railroads ,
after what had occurred.
Q. You think there was a week be
tween the two oonvonationa you had
i
with Corns ? A. Yes , sir , about a
week , as near as I can fix It.
Q. Did you Ulk with Robb&rta on
this subject at Omaha ] A. I had a
talk with him nt my oflioo.
Q. Did you go to see him , or did he
call on you ? . A. Ho came to m ;
office.
Q. Who else was there ? A. Mr
Carna.
Q. Did you talk to Robbortn whil
Oarna wa present ? A. A very few
worda. I said , "Robborts , I heart
something that susprised mo vor ;
much about you , I hoar that you havi
made an affidavit that Cams offeree
$5,000 and that I authorized it. " He
kaid , "Norr John , I'll ' talk that over
with you , but not while Cams is pres
ent. " Wo then wont into another
room and wo had some considerable
conversation. I told him that I die
nut know whether ho had made any
affidavit , but I was anxious to see him
for I did not believe ho had over made
any such affidavit. Ho said , "Look
hero , John ; whatever affidavit I have
made will not hurt you in Butler
county or anywhere else. " I said ]
did not like-to have affidavits shown
around the county with my name in
them , He said , "It wont hurt you.
It was made to show to some of my
rjonda. " Robborta said that the
affidavit was made at the time when
Cams' friends in Butler county were
circulating icports on him , and ho
made the affidavit to satisfy his friends
that ho was all straight. "It will
never hurt you John , anywhere. " 1
then talked with him about Mr.
Cams.
Q. How was the interview brought
about ? A. It was at my ra { uest. ]
had hoard of this affidavit from two
or three parties. ( Mr. Thurston then
related a conversation between him
self and Cams in which the latter
showed him b letter from Reynolds
threatening exposure in case ho didn'l
settle with him.
Q. Was Cams friendly to ths rail
roadj ? A , Yea , sir , ho was.
Q. Had hojatiy official connection
with the railroad during the session'
A. Not thwt I am aware of.
Q. Did hogivoRobbertsanycncour
agoment that' the railroads would buy
him up ? A. No ; Mr. Cams said to
me , "lonly bring to you what Rob-
boi ti said because I am asked to do it. "
Q. Did ho state that as a matter of
policy it would bo better to pay him
anything at ali ) A. No , eir ; I think
pprhapi I said that he waa an almighty
high priced man.
Q Was that the special objection
you made , that ho waa so high priced ?
A. No , air ; that waa my first impulse
only ,
Q. Did you sugeest to Mr. Ireland
to telegraph to Rjbbertt ? A. We
were talking about the matter when
Ireland cirno in and I said that I
didn't believe Jake had ever made
any auch affidavit and that I hoped
that Is it was in existence the legisla
ture would have a special eotaion and
have "itinvestigated. . Imlcnd said- '
"Why don't'jou telegraph to him ! "
I said that if wo * wrote or telegraphed
to him about this matter ho would go
right to Reynolds and toll him about
it if there waa anything between them.
Ireland then said , "I'll telegraph
him. "
Q. Did he suggest this to you or
you to him ? A , I suggested this to
Darns.
Q. Was it the intention to have
trim come there and have him explain ,
3r did you h vo the idea of attempt
ing to induce him to drop the fight ?
A. I desired to know in the first place
whether I had made any affidavit , and
why ho had used my name in connec
tion with it.
Q You don't think Mr Cams had
any authority to purchase votes ? A.
[ know nothing about it ; he had none
o my knowledge.
Q Was ho authorized to extend
any favors in any way , for the road ?
A. Sometimes ho asked mo for passes
'or different parties.
Q Was there anything like the
jiymont of bills that Cams was au-
horinod to make ? A. Not that I
mow of.
Q , What is the fact then regarding
ho expense of members being paid by
railroad companies ? A. I know of
lone personally ; probably I paid the
room ren t of my room mate , Mr.
vyner ; but if so ho paid his own
board bills.
Q Was the propriety of giving
Ur. Robborts $5,000 over discussed
> y you , or the other railroad officials ?
A. Not to my knowledge.
By Roberts : Q , I n't it a fact that

were talking that morning ? A. I
'UPE * you are right about that ,
Q. You remember that Cams and I

THK UNIVERSITY.
The following resolution , which was
introduced in the house Saturday by
Mr. Cautlin , of Dodge county , anc
was laid on the'table by a close vote ,
37 to 33 :
Whereas , The educational interests
of our yonngand growing state should
ever bo hem sacred ; and
Whereas , The action of Regonta Fi-
field , Persingur and Carson ( the latter
since resigned ) , taken during the ab
sence nf Regents Gannett and Pow
ore , in removing Professors Church ,
Emerson and Woodborry from our
State University , ia unbecoming , im
politic , and establishing a bad proca
dent ; therefore bo it
Resolved , That wo , as the people's
representatives of the state of Ne
braska , do hereby condemn the course
taken by said regents , inoarruch aa
they did not remove the entire profes
sorship , including the chancellor , and
that the roeignation of said regonta
would bo acceptable to the tax-payers
of the state at largo.
Several of the members , in explain
ing their votes on this resolution ,
stated that if it had boon introduced
earlier in the session they would have
v.itod for it. The narrow majority by
which the motion to table was car
ried gave all the moral effect that
would have been secured by its pas
sage.
It is said that Gage county is in
turmoil over the stand taken by
Senator Castle on the apportionment
bill , and that his visit home yesterday
was not altogether an agreeable ono.
If enough pressure can thus be
brought to bear upon him tu over
balance the governor'a influence the
bill will go by the board. ABO us. .

When two doy from Delaware break

the court had Jurisdiction , and tha
it was proper to try for murder in the

was mado. In regard to the point
that the law of Maryland at the time
of the cession of the District ol
Colombia to the United States ,
claimed to bo still in force , according
to which , where a fatal bio wwaa struck
in ono county and death occurred in
another , the crime could not bo pun
juliod in.tho former and possibly in
neither , Judge Wagner road a special
decision covering the ground , and
reciting nil the precedents , and con
eluding by holding that tlio crime was
punishnblo under the Maryland law ,
where the murderous blow was struck.
The first part of the opinion was road
by Judge James. After Judge Wag
ner had concluded , Chief Justice Car-
tcrs announced that the opinions road
wore the unanimous conclusion of thu
court ; that a now trial bo denied , and
the judgaaont of the court below bo
affirmed ,
Ono point in the decision , as road
by Judge James , was that the government
mont of the United States hail exclu
sive jurisdiction over the District ol
Columbia , and that murder committed
therein was a crime against the Um
ted States.
Mr. Reed Ouiteau's counsel , says
ho does not sivo it up , but will require
time to consider what stops should betaken
taken next.

and expects a reprieve for six months
Meanwliilo ho hopes for relief from

Between Secretary Frclinghuyaon and
Minister Lowell during the past few
months. Lowell writes that on April
25 , in coBsultation with Forttor , ho
assents to the suggestion that the
American suspects now imprisoned
should bo offered their liberty on
condition they would return home.
This Forstor agroed'should bo made
then. Lowell says ho caused , unoffi
cially , assurance to bo sent them ,
that those who accepted this proposi-
lion and found thomsolvua in need of
funds to return , would bo furniihed
with which to return. Of five of them
in prison three , McSwoney , O'Mo-
liony and Gannon , absolutely rofusnd
to bo released on these term * , while
the other two , McGnory and Slattory , ,
took 'tho 'matter under Vjdvisumon
for throe days. In the
latter of May 4th , 'Lowell '
writes that the ciso of MoCormick
: oiifined in Conmcll jail is rather om-
sirrassing , because McCormick , who

Troy , N. Y. , to provo his American
citizenship , seems to have been out of

s of opinion that the term of
ho lawa ot protection must have some
imit , which limit ho suggests should
jo about two years. Tno report was
also accompanied by a summary of

inghuyson and Lowell. From these
t is learned that all of the prisoners
except O'AIahony , had refused to ac-
opt the terms of release by which
hey were to return to the United
States , and ho was still undecided ,
[ "ho communication also cnnvoys a
copy of long instructions from Fro-
inghuyson to Lowell , in which ho in-
truota him that in the case of Ameri
