It is the general belief iicie that the Blair

the subject of a great deal of discussion and
the cause ofery many reminiscences among
congressmen dining the past week. A Now

"Tim" Campbell of New Yoik In this con
nection. Ho "aid that some jcars ace the
Honorable "Tim" had n bill In the Now Yoik
senate which ho was very anxious to have
pr.Sjed. The senator fiom the Twenty-llflh

tional ground * , when Iho Jlon. "Tim , " ad-
drcsslnc him , said : "Will the gentleman
from tlio Tvvcnty-llftli allow mo to ask him a
question ? " Thcptlvllego was granted , and

The probable lejectlon of the nomination
of Judge Mcilick as one of Iho judges of the
supreme court of tl.o District of Colum
bia calls to mind the cause of his
icmoval fiom the bench some twenty
3 cars ago. Kx-Congiessman Spinner
of New York had been appointed
ticasuier of the United Slates , and lie went
to one of the judges to take the oath of ofllce.
The judge , who was a southcin man and a
hcaity southern sjnipatlilrcr , icfic-ed to
administer the oatli because Spinner
was distasteful to the southcin ele
ment by reason of his abolition
speeches In the house. Upon the refusal to
administer the oath the old gentleman be
came \oiy angiy , and went out saving , "Per
haps theio is nothing in the constitution to
compel you to administer the oath to me ,
and , peihaps , congiess cannot compel yon to
do so , but congiess can put you out of ofllce ,
and 1 will see that It does so. " A bill was
Intiodnccd In the house a few days alter
abolishing the supreme comt of the dlstiict
of Columbia , and among Its wannest advo
cates was Mr. Spinner , who had been
sworn in as United States ticasurcr. The
bill passed , the couit was abolished , and It
was leoigatiUed under a subsequent law by
the appointment of men whose sympathies
weie not .stiong enough to Induce them to 10-
fuse tocai iy out the duties for vv hldi they wei o
appointed. The objection to Judge MenIck
among tlie senators Is that ho Is now so old
that lie will icach the ago of rctiiemcnt

creatuio was compensated by u ticket.
Alter the adoption of the icsolution Mr.
Hoar had It lecunsldeied and amended so as
to have the names sent In to the becielary of
the senate.
The education bill was then taken up , and
Mr. Hairison spoke In advocacy ot the bill
and In opposition to Mr. Allison's amend
ment.
An amendment offered by Mr. Hoar to the
amendment of Mr. Allison was tigiecd to ,
piovldlngtlMt Ino.ich state havingscpaiato
whltu and coloieil schools , the money re
ceived by such Ntnto under the bill hliould bo
apportioned and applied in thopiopoitlonot
illiteracy of the two races le.siiectlvely , until
an equal sum per capita shall lia\obecn ap-
propilated fiom national and Mate funds ;
andilcclailng the object of the bill to bo to
.secure equal advantages to all chlldien of
w batovcr color or i ace.
Mr. Kdmnnds then moved a substitute for
the amendment as amended. The substitute
is as tollow.s : "And In each btato and teul-
toiy In which thcrohliall be sopaiate schools
lor white and coloied ehlldiun , the money
paid In such btate or teuitoiy shall bo appoi-
tioned and paid out lor the suppoit ot such
white and coloied schools lespectlvely , In the
piopoitlon that the white and coloied dill-
dten between the age-sol 10 and 21 years in
such state or ten I lory bear to each oilier , as
shown by thi ) census of lbb ( ) . Tlio foiegoing
piovislon shall noteifect the application of a
projici pioportlon of Mild money to the snp-
poit of all common schools wherein no dis
tinction of race or color shall o\Ut. "
Mr. Kdimuuls addressed the senate In sup
port of this amendment.
Mr. Logan bald theie seemed to bo a greater
desire tobe consldeied the champion ot some
kind ot a bill that would bo called an educa-
cation bill than to liiuo ono tlmt would pro
duce the icsult contemplated. He ( Logan )
wab as silicon ) n fi lend of tlio colored race as
nny senator on thu floor. Ho ( Logan ) had
Intioduced two of these education bills In
Ibb * , ono In IbsS , and ono In IhSi , Ho had
appealed bctoro the education committee of
the bcnato In older to make some biigges-
tlons , but soon came to tlio conclusion that
what little hu had to say would luuo no oiled
on tlio mind of tlmt committee. , and
thai the icsiilt would bo what it
over had been that the shrewdness
and bhaipnc.Sb of the men on that committee
fiom south ot the line would get the veiy
ad\antages that by this bill they eventually
had got. Foimeily. Logan said , the colored
people of the .south cnvo leprescntation to
congress and In tha electoral college based on
the ihiee-tiflhs principle , iiowwas It now ?
Tlioiepienentation was based on the whole
number ot colored and white people Acnl-
nied man counted the same a * a white man.
On that principle the southern presenta
tion In thueltvtoi at college and In congress
was enlarged , but to wliat end ? When It
came tootlng when * were the colored
people ? Mississippi had n white voting pop
ulation of iftJ.rjbO and a colored \otlng
population of JSOU70-that is to tai\
about 80,000 majority of colored votes.
How many men voted in Mississippi ? Only
ieo.000 , jn t 10XX , ) more Ilian there weio while
uilci * . Wkat that \oto meant and tliowed
Mr. Logan would not bay. He did uot think ,
however , that It was for want of education
tli.it thccoloied peoplu abstained from votlntr.
They w tie counted w hencver greater political
power would eomn to thu wl.lte men by
couutlu ; ; them ; tliey wcw not counted as
voters. When election day came no man
said to the colored voter , "Stand up and be
counted. "
The same principle , Mr. Logan continued ,
ran through tide school bill as repotted fiom
the committee. What for ? Kor money. For
whom ? Was it for themselves ? Oh , no : It
was the old story , and uoithcin men had
alwajs been found In congiess willing to
legislate on the coloied man for the benefit
of the while man , If money waste
to bo taken from the ticasnry on
the basis of the coloied race , In God's nanio
let the colored people gel tlielr pioportlon of
It. That was the object of the amendment
proposed bv the senator from Iowa ( Allison ) ,
but the bill would accomplish nothing as It
stood because the amount Was too small.
What was § 7,000,000 the lirst year when dis
tributed around among the states ? At pres
ent In some poitlons of Iho south , school
could not bo kept open more than lour
months. The piovlsfon of the bill would
add \ery little to that- Hence ho ( Log.in )
proposed to nmko the llrst ) ear's appropria
tion SIOooo,000 Instead of 87,000,000 , incieas-
Ing the amount each i car for H\e j oars and
then decreasing It , until In ten years tlio
amount evpendeil would bo Siw,000,000. :
This amount was cnonnlitoaccomplish some
thing. Decides his amendments Included a
scpaiate fund of 52,000,000to aid in the build
ing of school houses In sections of country in
which the local community mlghtbe too poor
to stand all the expense ot building. SchoolIng -
Ing could not be got without school houses.
Hut the gcneial government should super
vise this thins In some way , Ho ( Logan )
favoied a commission for tlmt puipo e not
to presetIbe what should be taught , or
to Inteifcie with schools , but to
-co wheio the moimy went to.
Thcic seemed , however , to bo n disposition
to pass the bill w Ithont the amendment , even
If it did no moie good than thiowing money
into H pool. 11 the senatoi from New Hamp
shire ( iilaii ) wanted to analgn him ( Logan )
before either the noitiicin or .southorn people
ple for wanting this amendment , ho could do
so. The time would come , Logan said , when
gicat wilteis , oratois , poets and musicians
would be found belonging to the coloied lace.
We should reach our light hand to these people
ple stiuggllng down in the pit ot daikncss
and despair ; wo should llftthein up and give
them a lair and equal chance.
Mr. Hlalr was willing to accept Mr. Ed
munds' Mibstltutoloi the Allison amendment ,
and it wasagiecd to.
Mr. Dolph moved to amend by providing
that the bill should not take ellect till two-
thiids of the states should accept its piovls-
lons. It was i ejected.
Mr. Doliih called up the yeas and nays on
his amendment , and pending the calls the
senate went Into executive session , and when
tliodoois ic-opeiied adjourned.

Among the 120 cases that will occupy the

In the life of the two pitndpals In the com

The readers of the Ur.i : have already been

ground of extieme ciuclly. Since that date
conjcctuio after conjeduic , icpoit followed
by lepoit , have been put ulloat as legaids
what course the defendant would take , some
saying the breach would bo bildged over , while
others ! m\o gl\cn It as their opinion that the
piayer as applied for In the plaintiffs peti-
tlllon would go before the court without any
contest on the pai't of the defendant , but to
day surmises , lepoiis and conjectuies asre-
gaids the action of the defendant received a
check In the tiling of thu defendant's an
swer to said petition fordlvoico In tlio dls
tiict clerk's olllco of tlio county. The answer
conipnses about live pages of legal cap. The
defendant , in answerdenies that she has ever
been guilty ol extiemo ciuelly , or that the
plaintiff has over since tlielr marriage con
ducted himself toward her as a tine and faith
ful husband. The answer then goes on to
chaigo Iho plaint ! ! ! with the excessive use of
Intoxicating liquors , and that his conduct at
such times tended to destioy her peace and
happiness and Impair her bodily health.
"And that tiie said plainlllf had ever since
said man iage gi ossly.crnolly anil wantonly re-
tused and neglected to provide the defendant
with suitable and proper clothing ; that never ,
at any time since said man Iage , has ho given
deloiidant any aitlelo of clothing ; that de
fendant has been forced 1o sew and embroi

follows : "That the plalntllf , utterly icgaid-
less of the duties and affections of a husband ,
has lett their home williout any cause or pro
vocation on defendant's pait , and has left
the defendant penniless and homeless , and

Colonel F. P. Ireland will look after the
Intcicsts of the plaintiff , while Hon. John
Matson will appoir for tlio defendant. Pub

the side of the defendant. It looks now as
though the case will bo hotly contested.

The Sun this moinlng prints a long ed-
Itoilal under the heading oP'ThcPicsUtent
and the Democrats , " I'lom which the follow
ing extracts mo made : "The time has come
for plain and honest speech. The hope of
bettering a bad condition of things by patient
forbearance , by appiobatlon for all that
could be appiovcd , and byadesho to avoid
eveiy cause of probable dlillculty , has In
duced the dcmociats to withhold tiuth that
can no longer be piopeily concealed from
public view. Candid consideration of them
may possibly piovldo a lemcdy for the exist
ing evils. A year has passed away since
Cleveland was Inaugmatcd as president
under cheoifnl and oncouiaglng auspices.
Tlio paity was united and the out
look was satlsfactoiy when ho en-
teied the white house. The situation to-day ,
as compaied with what It was on the 4th of
March , 1885 , Is sadly altered. It is not neces
sary to Inquho into the causes which have
biought about this chango. The fact exists
that tlicie Is no coidlal confidence , familiar
communication , or political cohesion between
the piestdent and the democrats In congiess.
They have been drifting apait gradually until
It may be said the line of sepaiatlon between
them has become broad and maikcd. The
piesldent's want of experience In national
atlalrs and his slight acquaintance with
public men , aio doubtless icsponslbie
for some ottho cnois Into which no was un
consciously misled in tlio beginning of Ills
new cares. In a limited redistribution of
pationago the president lias suffered as all
hlsplcdecessorsof late years have sulleicd ,
by either wilful or accidental deception.
Discovery of tills practice made him suspi
cious in other cases , and by slow degiees a
mutual distiust has giown up which now ap
pears as threatening danger to the democ
racy. „
A scries of singular successes In his brief
earcei has undoubtedly pioduccd a belle ! In
the president's mind that his whole course
has been acceptable to the people , and that
however politicians may disagree witli him ,
ho Is always sure of that support. This be-
llet strengthens the sclt-asscrtton which
seems to be natural to his character , and is
liimly and bluntly maintained against
arguments and mild piotestatlons when dlf-
feicnces aio discussed. Hence it is giatity-
ing to know that a confeicncc between ac
credited lead cis and the president will soon
take place , at which the point of disagiee-
ment will be frankly discussed and with
hopes ot-a clearer iiiidcibtaiiding. Whoever

Ctitrxoo , III. , March a [ Special Tclo-
pram.J No change In passenger rates to St.
Paul or Council Bluffs was made > esterday
by any lines Interested In that business , but
the opinion picvalls that rates will etgo
considerably lower than they now aio befoio
the war is over. The Uock Island feels rather
sore over the continued efforts ot the St. Paul
and Illinois Central loads to puichaso tick
ets of the Bock Island Issue at scalpers' ofllco
at i educed rates to find a pretext for cutting
rates still further. In older to get even and
piovo that tickets oxer competing Hues aio
being sold at ov en lower tales than the Illinois
Central claimed to have bought
over the Bock Island from scalp
ers , and official of the Bock Island
went the rounds of the scalping offices jcs-
teiday and succeeded In uurohaslng a ticket
over the St. Paul fiom Chicago to St. Paul
forS8.80. St. John ot the Hock Island had
an aflldavlt made by the party pin chasing the
ticket to piovctho genuineness of the Irans-
lion , which he sent to the St. Paul people , to
gether with a note advising them in accoid-
ance with their policy to meet the Bale ot any
ticket sold by the scalpers with a similar rate
over the counters ot tlielr regular offices , they
ought to make at once an open rate to SI.
PaulofS8.50. St. John has not > el decided
whether to adopt the SS.r.0 . late as the basis of
the rate to all points west and noith of SI.
Paul and Council BlulK
It Is gcncially admitted that the present
policy of the loads Inteiested In SU Paul
business is calculated topiolong the Mar In
definitely , and that It would bo far better If
the waning roads would at once reduce rates
to St. Paul or Council Bluffs to about 55 or
less , as this would bring matteis to n focus
and hasten a speedy settlement of the exist
ing dinicul.lcs.
It is stated the St. Paul and Noithwestern
aio now considering tlio advisability of
hoitcninc tlio running time of their
trains between Chicago and St. Paul
from eighteen to fourteen hours. If
this Is done the Bock Island will
have no other , nlteinatlvo left than to
meet the shorter time by its compctitois with
a coircspondlng icductlon of r.ites. Under
these clicumstanccs It Is claimed the only
way out of the existing complications is al
lowing tlio Bock Island adillcientlal late.
This no doubt will bo the ultimate solution
of the problem , but before it is done the St.
Paul and Noithwestern will make a deter
mined effort to bicak up the commission sys
tem which they think is icsponsiblo for the
piesent tionbics. Tlio Bock Island Is so
stiongly In favor of the system that it will
not abandon It without a scvcio struggle.

Judge llnyes' Impeachment.
Dr.s MOINKS , Iowa , Match a [ Special
Teleitram.J Tlio house devoted Iho whole of
to-day to an animated debate on the question
of Impeaching Judge Hayc * . The ca o came
tip under a majority lepoit of the judiciary
committee , iccoinnicndlng an Investigation
of the chaigcs against him with a view to
Impeachment. The minority report lecom-
niends dropping the subject without further
action , Alieady It Is appaient that whatever
is done will have to bo done as a paitlsan
measuie. 'Hie commltteo reports were made
on party Hues. The debate to-day as inado
on paity lines , with ono exception , Major
Thompson , n lepnbllcan , opposing the Inves
tigation , but In general none but
republicans favor the Investigation and none
but democrats oppose It. The action of the
democrats Is In strange contrast to their
couisoa month ago. When Auditor Brown ,
n icpnblican , was tinder criticism , they were
ravenous for an Investigation , even though
It lead to impeachment. Now , with a demo
cratic judge undei Hie , they are solidly op
posed to any Innuhy Into ills conduct , and
tight it inch by inch.
Tlio prosecution was led to-day by Bcpic-
sentatlve Weaver of llardln county and the
deienso by Colonel Keatley of Council Bluffs.
Tlio former , In his opening speech , said thera
weio two { impositions which , If true , would
justify impeachment. Fhst , that Jiulgo
Haves conuptly abused the dis
cretion vested in him by as
sessing punishments. Second , that
ho exceeded the jurisdiction of his office. Ho
is cluuged with n coirupt combination with
the district attorney to charge and collect
fees moio than should have been charged.
He Is clmigcd with dlscouixginLr : a plea oE
guilty. I such plea Is given , lie rcnuois
judgment forS100 and costs. Attoinoy lor
the accused objects. Hayes scratches out Iho
judgment. Tlio plea Is cnteicd not guilty.
Nodcfcnso Isoircicd , and a line of S.'i is Im
posed. It is further charged that in eveiy
way possible ho has biought his influ
ence , by leason of his high olllce , to bilnp :
the law Into dlslavor. It becomes Judge
Hayes , If ho believes the law a bail
one , and ought not tobe cnloiced , to fcsljm
his olllco and not use It lor the purpose that ho .
has. He should ticnt the law against selling
Illinois as he would the law against larceny ,
assault and battciy , or any other .statute In
our code. Ho might make the line light for
the fiist offense , but It one should bo aiiested
and biought back time and again , week after
week , ho would bo n strange judge , Indeed ,
who would let him go on Ills own recogniz
ance. Alohas so used his dfcciotion that wo
must believe he has used his power to shield
the criminal Instead of punishing him , and
as such ho should bcanswciablo to the high-
e.st tribunal in the hind.
Mr. Kent ley followed Mr. Weaver , saying
that ho rccognl/cd theimpoitaiicenndgravity
of the duty of the house at this stage of the
pioccedlngs. Ho coincided with his oppon
ent ( Weavei ) in totting aside all vnrtlsan
feeling. It has been claimed here , ho con
tinued , that In uiglng the rlghtfnlncss of the
majority lopoit , tlmt theio Is no bound to tlio
rights of this house In detei mining whether j
Hayes should appear befoio the senate and
answer to tlie chaigcs In the memorial. Ha
( Keatley ) stood etlrely : uninfluenced by
any body or peison. Ho had never mcb
Hayes but once , fifteen years ago ,
and knew nothing of tlio charges
until reading the memorial. Ho wanted to
dlschaign his duties In a conscientious man
ner and with that end In view had given the
subject carelul study. He would ask the In
dulgence of tlio house as to time. Tills body
owed it to itself that befoic voting articles of
impeachment to the .senate lo take time for n
most thorough Investigation. Theio Is no
countiy under the sun having a coint of Im
peachment llko our own except among Kn-
glish speaking people , i'ho matter of Im
peachment was not of rapid ijiowtli , but of
slow grow th. Aseailyas 1H13 the Impeach
ment ol public ofliccis was known.

speeches for and against a luither investiga
