WASHINGTON , Feb. id. Mr. Mandcrsoi
offered a resolution diicctlng thu secretaries
of state and war to inquire Into and report t (
tlm senate the facts biirroniullnt : the killing
of Captain Crawford , said to have been slali
on or about January 10 , 16SO , by Moxleat
troops , and to report what steps were belli ; ,
taken for punishment by the Mexican gov
eminent of thoto guilty of the alleged out
rage. Also , whether reparation and Indomnll }
should not bo made to those who buffered am
all duo explanation and apology totlioUniU'c
States for the apparently gross insult ,
In ottering the resolution Mr. Mtuulcreoi
said It was duo the United States , not les
Hum to the iclntlvcsof the deceased , that in
fiulrv should bo made as to the killing o
Cupfain Crawford. Mr. Mauderson mid th
nllfcinl repoit of Lieutenant Matts , Unitct
States army , on the subject , and maintaintt
thai If the tacts were there convctly set imtl
they constitute a very suvcro reMi"-'liorj on the
Mexican troops. Mr. Maiulcrson paid higl
tribute to the -courage andsoldicily duvotloi
of Captain Crawford and atiimiulenn
v.lth severity .on tin course pursued hi
the Mexicans. Ho expressed the
hi po tliat Iho United Slates would co'mpo
jvpatallon , If necessary by force fiom th
Mcxlcan Kox-ernmcnt In case that govorn-
nenl should prove to be In any way rcspon-
iblu for the conduct ot its troops In tills in
tancp.
Mr. Htttlcr objected to the present consider
ation of the resolution.
Mr. Kdmunds said the custom of the sen
ate was to refer lo the committee on foreign
elation * nil resolutions affect lug our rela-
Ions with foreign governments. The sub-
pet mattnrof the resolution should ccitalnly
> o carefully Inquired Into , but at this present
uomcnt. Mr. Kdmunds continued , wo wcro
xniud to ntsiimo that the president and sec-
clary of stnlo were not slumbering on the
subject , but were malting calcful ( nvcstlga-
ion and clforts to bring the Mexican govoin-
nnnt to punish whatever was wrong. Mr.
Cdimmds certainly hoped so , and could not
loubt that , was the case.
Theiesolntiou , with Mr. Manderson's as
sent , was u'ferrcd lo the commlllco on for
eign affairs.
The education hill WAI placed before the
senate and Mr. Kvuits took the floor in its
ulvocaoy. lie tool ; up the objections to the
> lll. niiilnltcfnii analysis and discussion , ox-
irt'.sirtl his failuru to scu that they wore well
founded. Continiiinr , he said that the peo-
ileoftho United States were confronted
, vlth a tlnoatening and giowlug mass of
gnoriincu. Now bere was a deliberate , con
servative , thoughtful and honorable measure
'or the icmedy of that Ignorance a measure
which , looking in the face of the situation
trovided by the war , pioposcd to nnply the
ibuudant resources of tlie renovated and restored -
stored union to exert at this time , lor com-
non defense and pciierai welfare , tliu re-
somccs of the nation , with as largo and
literal a hand nn it had excited
ho power lo produce the result of
ho war then also.tor "common defense and
general welfare. "
Mr. Ingalls contrasted the systems pre
vailing in tin ; northern ami southern states
jel'oro the war the southern stales prefer-
ing not to educate the blacks , tlio northern
states believing in universal education.
Mr. Wilson of Maryland opposed the bill ,
lie characterized lias the boldest attempt by
congress to dictate to and commnnd tlio
slatesin tlio matter of their education. It
was no USD to argue , as some senators had
argued , that congress was not by this bill os-
abllshlng schools in tlio states. 11 was tlio
entering wedge of congmsslonal contiol of
.hu school systems of the states. If congress
could apply the money to the public schools
of a state , why not to tlio public roads of a
state ? Congress had nothing whatever to do
with cither. If congress had the power to
aid state schools It had the power to support
them altogether , and the leaning of the pco-
ilu of. the states on the arm of the national
congress for school aid would end in a grand
mtloiml scheme of education with licad-
quaitcrs at AVashlngton , There was no
greater menace to the liberties of the states.
The debate on the education bill was then
closed for the day.
Alter an executive session the senate ad-
ionrncd until Tuesday next.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. Mr. Kelly resumed
ils request to havcvrlntcd In tlio record a re
view of the testimony in the Fit ? John Porter
ease , presented by Judge Advocate Holt.
Mr. Bragg , who previously objected , said
[ hat as the battle was over , lie was in favor
ot general amnesty , and would make no ob
jection.
The ipqnest was granted.
Mr. Hewitt called up the joint resolution
tendering the thanks of congress to Joseph
Francis lor his lifelong services to human
ity and his country In thu const ruction and
( jcrfection of life-savinir appliances , and uu-
ihoilzing the president to have premred a
gold meilal to be presented to Mrs. Francis.
Passed.
The houc then went into committee of the
whole on thu private calendar.
DOn theliistbillon the calendar , Mr. Scottof-
ferred a veihal amendment and proceeded to
deliver a speech on ( he silver question. Ho
prefaced ins speech by expressing Ids regret
that the gentlemen representing his own
political faith had seen proper to anticlpatu
their paity opponents In their criticisms of
the ( list democratic president andsveretary of
Iho treasury who had occupied these positions
in the past twenty-live years , and liu desired
further to say In justice to a largo majority of
the gentlemen who differ with him '
who represent their party in both
branches of congress , that lie did not believe
liiey would so far ignore facts as lo intimate
that "tho organization of wealth had suc
ceeded in alarming the president and secre
tary of tlio treasury , as they have done in
several previous administrations. " If the
languugo employed in tills connection meant
anything at all , it miiit bo construed
to mean that the piosldcnt and seciv-
tare of the treasury were under tlio iniluenco
of capitalists , whoso interests were supposed
to be antagonistic to these of the pioductivo
classes and wage workeis. What facts sus
ceptible or such construction had been sub
mitted In proof of the charges oi insinuations
nttuiciU' They seem to rest only on the bare ,
uusuppoited statements of these who promul
gated them. Had the president aod secretary
of the treasmy in any respect violated the
law , as it exists to-day' . ' Had they not con
formed to ils very letter ? Could not congress
concede them as much honesty and Integrity
in tlio view they entertained inion this sub
ject ns it claimed for itself , and could it not
iircsumo them to bo as desirous as itself of
.loins what was for the best interests of the
people ? It was true that they had recom
mended suspension of the coinage of silvur
dollars under the provisions of the act of
1878 , but could anv one say that such recom
mendations would not ultimately prove to be
as wise and well calculated to promote public
good as its continued colnairo hud been shown
by practical experience to have been of
doubtful advantage.
After the conclusion of the debate upon the
frco sliver coinage bill , the liouso passed a
do/en privatu bills , after which Mr" , Bland , of
Missouri , asked unanimous' consent to olfer
a resolution making Iho tree silver coinage
bill on the calender the continuing special
order from Tuesday next.
Mr. Steele , of Indiana , ohjcclod.
The house then took a recess until 7:30 : , the
evening session to bo for tlio consideration
of pension bills.
At the evening session the hou o passed
forty-tour pension bills , and at D:40 : ad
journed.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 19. The Washington
Post announces In a double-leaded editorial
that the president will not bo affected In any
way whatever by the action of the republi
can senators. Ho has chosen his position
and In Italics continues ; "From that posi
tion he will not recede ; ho will continue ( o
make removals and will steadfastly decline
to explain his reasons at the demand of any
committee of the snnato , or thosenato itself. "
Thlsparagiapii , beliuvi'il to be authoilta-

tor to-day. Ho mid It o\er and icumrkcd :
"We shall sun ; take the list of persons ap
pointed to ofllcc , count off the names of those
who have been nominated upon the recom
mendation of Mr. Corman of Maryland , Mr ,
Voorliees of Indiana , Mr. liandali of 1'ciiii-
sylvanla , Mr. Baimim of Connecticut , and
other leading democrats. F.vcry one of them
Is a political llentenuul and a personal friend
of the man at whoso instance ( bo appoint
ment was made , and every one of them will
no slaughtered , because the president lofuscs
to glve'us the papers upon which their pre
decessors were suspended. How long are
the.su senators going to stand that sort of
thing , when they know that If tlio papers are
liirnfslicd their favorites will bo conlirmed
There urn two ways of looking at those
things. The republican senators are In
dependent of thu president and tlm olllcn
holders , and those who want to hold otlicc
but it won't bo so funny to the democratic
senators : i month hcnco as it teems now. "

Dnwcn County's First Court.
CiiAtmoff , Neb. , Feb. 10. | Special. ] The
first district court held In Dawes county has
just been litiishrd. Judge Hainur presided ,
and during his short stay here made a largo
number of friends , and his decisions , al
though a few were unsatisfactory to the ma
jority of thu people , wcro just and deservlnc
of a great deal of credit. The judge 1ms
iroved himself n gentleman of more than
ordinary ability , and befoio many years have
lasscd away wo are In hopes to sco him on
; ho supreme bench.
There wcio twenty-seven cases on the
locket , most of which wcro of a criminal
mturc , and Distiict Attorney St. Clatr of
Plumb Creel : , together with County Attorney
spargm-of this place , succeeded in bringing
to justice n number oC criminals who will
icrcaCter fill a cell In Hie ponlntentlary ot
Lincoln. A horse thief named Church was
sentenced for six years at hard labor. Sev
eral oilier persons wcro sentenced for shorter
Icrms.
The most interesting case was tliat of a
mandamus proceeding , in which one Carly.
petitioned the court to compel .the present
joard of county commissioners to move back
into the old court htm u , for which the former
joard had made a lease for three years at
52,100 , without a levy being made previous or
nt the time. Very able arguments wcro made
jy Judge Spargur and II. M. St. Glair In
favor of tlio defense. This trial lasted for
nearly two dajs , and Iho court at last de
cided that the county ollices should bo moved
to tlio old court house until a more safe place
should bo iirovided for tlio records. The
present board of commissioners have pro-
\ldcd a large safe In which Ihe records have
been placed , and the comt honso is sllll
where It was voted to be by the people on
section 20 , which is three blocks fiom the
business part of tlio town. Tlio board by
ils action in moving bus saved Dawes county
several thousand dollars , and lo them a largo
amount of cicdit is due.
Tlio most successful attorney that prac
ticed befoio the distiict court was It. E. W.
Spargur , who won all of his cases , number
ing fiflccnor twenty.
Convicted of Perjury.
FniiMOXT , Neb. , Feb. 10. [ Special. ] The
trial of CcoruoK. Parks , the self-styled "tle-
lecti VP , came to an end yesterday afternoon.
The attorneys In file case made exhaustive
arguments and the court room was packed
with people who wore interested in the result
of this case which , in its various stages , has
attracted so much attention. Parks was con
victed of an attempt to drag an estimable and
worthy citi/en of Ibis city into tlie incendi
ary burning of a number of houses of ill-fame.
Durinir last summer no less than three
houses of tills character were set on lire by
some unknown person and completely de
stroyed. Parks , assuming to be a skilled de
tective , in collusion with tlie coachman of
the citizen , charged him with being tlio lire-
bug. The preliminary examination proved
the falsity of the accusation , and Parks was
arrested for perjury. This verdict will bo
applauded by all good ncoplo. The prosecu
tion lias been costly to the county , but it
will serve a good purpose In making nn ex
ample of the reckless assaulter of good char
acter.

Denies He Intended to Detract from
General Grant's I-'anic.
PITTSUUHO , Pa. , Feb. 10. General W. T.
Sherman arrived in the city yesterday from
Iho funeral of dcncial Hancock. In speak
ing of the newspaper strictures on his refer
ence lo Generals Grant and bmith , he said :
The sentence occurs In a letter written by
me to Lieutenant Scott , having charge of the
records at Washington. 1 knew that I could
not have written anything intended as a dis
paragement of General Grant. General
Smith was a bravo oflicer. 1 knew that ho
had hurt his leg in getting into a yawl. Tlie
wound disabled him , and terminated fatally.
When lie found lie was'nnablc to take charge
of the forces ho sent for General Grant. In
writing that sentence 1 lucanttlmt Grant had
gone down , down , down , nml now the oppor
tunity had presented 'itself ' which gave
him a chance to rise by his
own merits. If Gen. Smith had lived it is
questionable whether the opportunity would
have come to Grant whereby he could have
brought into play the fM'ceji ' of Jils character. ,
Fry never made a recortv" He' was never in
North Carolina , jllis roqord is on paper , and
to keep that up , ho must seek notoriety , it is'
ridiculous to suppose tliat 1 meant to detract
from Grant's fame. Tliu sentence occuis in ; i
letter written to Lieutenant Scott to obtain
some records which 1 desired to use in preparing -
paring an eulogy of Gen. Grant which I de

the permanent organization of tlm now

of Incorporation passed by the legislature.
The twenty mcmbeis who did attend ,
though , Indulged in some pretty plain talk
about the Inactivity of the great majority of
Iho members who didn't attend. The
talk began right after Levl M.

Hu said ho was discouraged by the falluro of

In the treasury by lids time. Instead of that
there was only about S115,0U ( Thu commit-

Chairman Uatcs agreed with Mr. Little that
it was a matter lor regret tiiat no money was

JOI.IKT , III. , Feb. 19. A remarkable phase
of the convict labor problem was presented

seem to have a surplus of convict labor. Ad
vertisements have appeared In half a dozen
leading pallors for a mouth past , offering
meivto bo contracted tor to tlie highest bidder
fronvjive to eight ycais. To-day the board of
commissioners met at the penitentiary to
open bids for convict labor , but no ijlds
wore received iniiMi to thu surprise
of tlie board. The members concluded that
Iho agitation of tlie convict labor question
lias intimidated contractors to such an ex
tent as to cause convi.it labor to lie placed at
a discount. Authorities arc in a quandary
