Indignation In the Camp.
WAMIIMHOX , March 4. [ Special Tclc-
Kram.J A great deal of surprise was ex
pressed when it becamu known this after
noon thattlicpiusldentliad nominated James
M. Matthuws of Now York to bo iccordcr of
deeds for this city to succeed the venerable
Krcdeilck Douglass , resigned by leanest ,
Matthews Is a colored man as well as Doug
lass , but thosmpiiso and consequent Indig
nation of the demociats as well as the repub
licans hem grow out of the piusldcnt's disre
gard of a provision In tlio platform adopted
by his party at Chicago in IbSl to thu effect
that onkesln the tcirltorlesand District of
Columbia .should be filled by icsidents thciu-
of. It was fully expected that to this ofllco
ono ol the icpieM'iitullvo demociats hcic
would bo called , and when It was learned
that a Niw Yorker was named thu Indigna
tion know no bounds. The president has re
peatedly trampled the pledges of his pally
under his feet In icgatd toteiiltotlal appoint
ments , hut this act completely dlsgustscu'iy-
one. The selection of acolotcd man to sup-
ciccdo Fied Douglass is repotted by repre-
scntatlNu colored men as put lie , and a weak
subleifugu fur displacing a icpubllcan and lu-
waullngndumucrat.
Hon. "Tim" Campbell , the democratic
member fiom Btookl ) n , when ho heard of
thu appointment of Matthews as recotder of
deeds , was standing In the lobby of the house
and exclaimed , "What ! anolhcu bloody
uagurl to hell with the Itisli scums to bo thu
policy of this adminlsti.itlon. "
The olllco of iccorder of deeds pays over
500,000 per nnnmn. Matthews began life as
.Manning's bootblack , and cveiy time Man
ning has lisen in political life , it is Etiango
but titiu , Matthews gous up a peg or two.

The B air educational bill has drifted into

Ihat even If It passes the senate it

WASHINGTON , March i. The speaker laid
before the house a communication iiom the

ployed at Fottiess Monroe. Itefeired.

out any cotiespondlng benefit to our country
or people.
At thu expiration of the morning bout Mr.
Cannon moved to lay aside the pension up-
uroptlation bill tor the putposo or taking up
the iiigent deficiency bill. Mr. Cannon stated
that the object of his motion was that the de
ficiency bill might ho immediately passed in
older that work at the navy yaids , which had
been stopped , might be iesumedand that the
men who had been thrown out of employ
ment might again obtain woik.
The house refused yeas 10i , noes 14S to
proceed to theconsldeiatlon ot the deficiency
bill , and went into committee of the whole ,
Mr. Crisp in thu chair , on the pension appio-
priatlon hill.
Thu debate was continued by Messrs , Kyan ,
Burrows and Hammond , i
Mr. Hcndctson took the floor nnd said , did
the gentlemen expect that with the repoit
trom Commissioner Black which had been
conceived and published with no other
motive than to make it a demociatic cam
paign document a man ot honesty , with , the
spirit of courage , would allow It to pass un
noticed on this floor/ With all the giant
minds of thu demociatic paity exercising
every skill and power to buck and gag the
committee on Individual pensions , and with
tlio lupoit from thu commissioner of pen
sions , involving politics moiu ttuckling nnd
dirty than had uvcr been sent out by a politi
cal campaign committee , ho for onu would
not u'limln silent. What points that he had
laid down had been dlspioved ? notonc. The
house lud been heated to many elegant
speeches. The buffoon had taken the stand
of a statesman , and ho ( Henderson ) had
been ridiculed bcfoio lliocounhy by the wit
nnd genius of southern chivnlty. Ho could
stand it. Itr ht\d lien thrown In his teeth
that liu first drew breath within tl e sight of
BJII L'miond. 'Ihat was tine , but while it
was line thathoreptescntid in hlsblitu the
land of the thistle , no wanted to tell the gen
tleman ( Not wood ) that from the low
lands to the highlands tieason li.id never
found breath In a Scottish Iieait. True it
was that ho had been born in Scotland.
Did it lemain for the simple Scottish boy ,
not bout under the beautiful Hap of America ,
to teach pa.rlotlsm to the gentleman who was
bom on American soW lie had been as
sailed by thu guntleman'hom Georgia ( Hammond
mend ) because hu made allusion to the other
world. In giving his estimate of the ox-con-
fcdciato who had placed his bosom In trout
of opposite weapons , ho had said then , and
ho repeated It now , that ho lespcctcd that
man lor his coinage. For a coppcihead who
hissed behind a soldier's bark when bullets
hissed In front , hu had not thu language
to express his contempt. When lie
said coppctliead , ho did not say
democrat. Ho had fought side by sldo with
demociats who had been striving to save the
nation , but why should the gentleman from
Gcoigia bo the only ono to use and take ex
ception to tli.it remark. It had not been
aimed at him it had been aimed at tha
ux-contcdciato soldiers. Ho ( llemleisoii )
saw fiom that gentleman's own iccoid that
from IbCl to ISO ) ho had filled n comfortable
fat state olllce. and had never exposed .hiin-
selt to federal lead. This nioining ho had
been assailed as being unmanly and a bull-
do/er by the gentleman from Virginia
( Cabcll ) . Ti' I was not his tepulatloii nt
home , nnd iticmaincdfoi a member of con-
BICSS from the historic and bloody streets of
IJanvlllo to howl "buildo/er. "
Mr. Cabullro o to ask a question , but Mr.
Ilondeison dec-lined to jleld. Mr. Cabcll
continued to speak , but cries of "older" Irom
the republican side , and wuentl confusion in
the hall diowned his voico.
Mi. Hundcison , continuing , said that ho
wasgiatllled for the character of thu speeches
of some of his opnoui'iiH. Ho took pleasure
In m-ogid/lng thu gentleman from West
Vhglnm ( Wilson ) and the gentleman tiom
Kentucky ( Iheckcnrldgu ) . The latter had
dtavvn n pictiiio-bcauttftil , touching and In
stinctive ot tlucu biotheis nursed at the
same In east lighting in opposing tanks ,
but yet with no harrier between their hcaits.
Let him also draw a plctuto of three biolheis
who ono night in Ibfll Itad agreed that In the
great land of their adoption the hour had
como to lay down their II vos at the feet of their
country . Thomas fell shot tlnnugh the he.nt
in thu deadly hoi nuts nestut bldloti ; ho slept
In an unmarked guvo bv the rrnlct waturs ot
the Tennessee her. William

four jcais , lived , but was
total physical wieck , his health l
on fhu altar of his cotinhy.
Tlio thlid and youngest Is pretty well. I
thank yon , \et , but so long as ho had tha
mommy of what Thomas tomiht for , so long
as ho knew that fora quarter of nccntury ills
widow and children had been struggling
without that honoit heat t , .Scotch though it
was in origin , ho did not led called upon to
io down upon his bonded knees in tlio caul-
tel of his country and apologl/o rot
Thomas' death , for William's tuinei
health , or tor himself , He thnughl
ho might bo pnrmlttod honestly and kindly ,
as ho had done , to appeal in behalf of ( hi
widows ot soldieis , without being charm
with doing ft to get the soldieis' vote :
or , toKO the eloquent language 01
the lather of the democratic sldo
( Kca an ) , to buy votes to cairj
tliioudi an election. Ho proceeded In this
rtehatu as he had began It , without one
laiicoions feelimr in his heart , Karnostiicss
nnd tiuth wcio not vituperation and abuses.
Hu had only this to say in closing ,
that coining hcio to this , his
adopted bud , ho felt that lie uhouli
la.-o his voice without cowardice
or clinging : or without nnmaiily abuse , con-
tPiidinjrftT what ho had been taught to ie-
specttho rights of uvcry citizen before the
l.iw and honor ot hU country , the United
Statt-s ot America.
In thurouiKuot his speech Mr. Henderson
was fioquciitly Intciiuptcd with the applause
of Ids jiaity colleague. " .
Alter fuithcrdebatu the committee rosouc
rcnoitcd thu bill to the house.
Mr , TowusliCtud of Illinois went into an
argument to show that the charge that Com-
nissloner Dudley had turned the pinslon
micau Into a paillsan machine was true , and
read from affidavits and letters on file In the
pension bureau. Ho then lead several afll-
lavits relntini to the Cincinnati election of
183-1 , to show tliat soldiers had been promised
[ tensions and pensioners had been promised
ncicascd pensions by the olllclals ot the pen
sion office If they would \otethe republican
ticket. Ho rcfcircd particularly to Mr.
Stevenson , and that lofeicnco btoucht Mr.
Cannon of Illinois , to his feet , with a re-
maik that the gentleman fiom Illinois
( Townshcnd ) knew Mr. Stevenson , and lie
knuw his reputation was ns fair as snow ;
that ho was tno peer of any man on the lloor ,
Mr. Townshcnd was ptocecdliiR to read
further when Interrupted by a chorus ot in
quiries from the lumiblican sldo as to the
rharacter of the men who made the affidavits.
Ho replied ho know some of them. The affi
davits wcro but atoms compared with the
coals of IdiMice ho could procure.
Mr. Kcod Inquired where lie had gotten the
affidavits , to which Mr. Spnnger lujolncd
they came from the pension olllce.
Mr. Ilandull of Pennsylvania moved tlio
previous question , which wasordeied ,
TheaH' aiid nuc.swcutthcn taken nnd the
bill was nassed a\cs 2-11 , noes 1. Mi. Ben-
nutt of Noith Caiollna cast the only dissent

Mr. Kandall moved to tcconsidcr the vote
and to table that motion.
Mr. Giosvenorof Ohio , said that In the

hu wished to have omitted from the record.
Sir. Wariiet desired to wlthdiaw any objec

WASHINGTON , Maich 4. lllddlcbcrgcr Is
becoming a tenor to the senate. Ho threat
ens to Intcrfete with absolute biutallty In the
quiet little jobs and trades which go on under
the cloak of "suimloi Ial courtesy. " Yester
day he startled the gia\e and icvercnd sen
ators by a icsolutiun icqulring them toicport
the names ot their private secretaries who
dtavvSO a day horn the government. MrT
Klddlcbeiger said ho know of men entering
the floor as private sectctarlcs who could
not be admitted to the parlor of
any gentleman. With gicat warmth and
but partially-suppressed anger , Mr. lliddlc-
beigcr piocccded to say that parties had
tickets as ptivnto scctetari 's and obtained
admission to the floor to blackmail and to
libel senators. He knuw of such a case. The
house had objected to Caiitain Kads being on
the floor : but while Ends was not on the
seiiato floor ho had three henchmen thcie ,
two of them lepiescnting icpublican papcis
and ono icutebcnting a democratic paper.
Ho knew ol private secictailes who got no
pay except the privilege ol entering upon the
lloor ot the senate. Ho knuw ot sunatois
who had civcn tickets to men as
private scctutaiii's while the sons of
those senators dtevv the pay , and
"cicatutes" of those
the scna-
alors had access to tlio lloor. Ho Intended to
atritate this matter until he should ascett.iln
wheio this thing was evolved fiom. Mr. Hid-
dlebergcr utevv mote excited as ho ptoceeded.
He did not propose that men should hav o ac
cess to the lloor who wcio libclots. Tlieie
was a hush of lioiroi while Itlddlebcigcr was
talking. At first it was thought he was aimIng -
Ing to expose the nepotism by which thesen-
atots got most of their male lelativ es on the
pay roll. His lutcienco to Captain Kads ,
however , gave a glimmer of muanlngto some.
When hu got tin oagh Senator Hoar came
to the icsctio ol his startled colleagues by pio-
liosing that instead of the senator reporting
the names , these bo giving to thn secietarv ot
the scnnto and published in the Record. The
resolution thus amended was adopted , no
ono daring lo vote against it. Itlddlubergcr
In private explained more fnllvwhat hlo lus-
elution meant. It was aimed directly against
StllMm Htitclilns , editor andpioprletorot the
Washington Post , the official oigan of the
Cleveland relottn administration. Hutchlns ,
it scents , is given access to the senate lloor as
the private secictary of Senator Itansom of
North Carolina , who Is a refotmcr of tlio
deepest dye. Some Insinuations were tlnown
out that as SO a day was nothing to Editor
Hutchlns , it levelled back to his employer ,
but thcso were piobably unfounded. Itiddle-
beicer , however , was pointed and dhect In
saving that Hansom had madu lintchins his
ptivato secretary solely that the editor of the
demociatic national administiation organ
might moio effectually lobby for tlio Kads
ship railway. It has frequently been m-
nuukcd that this scheme finds very great
tavor with sen at 01 s and icpresentatlvcs iiom
the Kouthcin states. Thu evidences of a
poweilul Inside lobby have also been very
plain , though the lobby Itself lias been
on entangible quantity. Klddlcbcrgei's
dlsclosuies may set ve to locate It It Is con
sidered a nice state of things when the demo-
ciatlcreformci sate admitted to the lloor of
the senate lo lobby for a project of very
doubtful icputo. Only u few days ago thcio
was a low in the house over the charge that
Captain Kads had been admitted to thn floor
there. This was afterward declared to have
been a case of mistaken identity , but many
members had scon so much intcicst shown in
the ship railway that they weio ready to be
lieve anything said about improper influence.

Jackson walked quietly over to Thomas and

scene and an hour later he issued an order
calling the remaining policemen on the re
serve In the station houses above Fourteenth
sticet toieinfoico the men alteady nt the
stables. 1'lic additional men Increased the
number to COO. A car was stalled out of the
stable at noon. Its appeal anco was balled with
dciision by hundreds of men in the streets
Police Inspector Slcers mounted the plat
form beside the tn her and the car started.
The police cleated the way until Lewis street
was reached whcio the Hist obsttuction was
reached in the shape ot a car of tlio Forty-
second fcticet line , which had been placed
actoss the track. Behind it two huek.s weie
standing and a little way beyond a load of
coal had been dumped pn the liack. Another
caret the Foity-second sticet line came
along and w as dt I ven oer the pile o 1 coal and
also tinned acioss the track. It was greet

and c\ cry wagon that came along was eap-
tuied and tinned across the track. The
hoises weie unhitched and driven away. Tito
police flourished their clubs , Issued tlneats ,
but In vain. The police weto powerless to
act. While they weic standing looking at
the scene , gangs of men rushed along add
ing additional obstructions on the hacks.
At Cannon stiect a wagon was tinned up
side down on the lails. At O'ltonrko street
a car was toppled ovcr.and fell with a crash
on the tiack. iSIx cars' wore all turned across
the tiack and the sida > streets weio blocked
witli wagons waiting their turn. Two beer
wagons had their wheels taken oft and fell
across the track at this point. The switch
plates weio taken away and fmther on a
pile of bilcks and building poles were
on the tiack. The contest was piactically
o\er at this point , and otdeis wcro issued to
start to the stables. The strikers were good-
natured and dialled thu policemen , but went
about their woik in u way that showed that
they were oiganlicd. At Naigin street the
striKcts tote up several curb stones and
placed them on the track. Another attempt
will bo made to start n car later this after
noon. The board of police to-day iccelvcd a
letter fiom the railroad company asking for
police protection for their employes and
prouei ty.
Tlio Crosstown line made another attempt
this atteinoon to icsumc operations. At liO : :
p. m. the police'reseives wcio called to the
eastern terminus of the ( iiand stiect lino.
Snpcilntendent Murray nnd Inspector Steers
were present and made prep.untions for a
battle. At noon over 000 policemen wcio on
the scene , and when the icseucs arrived
fully 1,300 were in line. They kept the stieet
clear , but on the noith sulo the stiikers wciu
collected , and with thousands of the lowest
classes ol men fiom the ctowdcd tene
ment houses of the nairow streets east
of the Bowery , loimcd a tiiicatening
body , capable ot almost any tot m of outtagu
andtiot. The police vat-oiled the sttcuts
from the Uowcry to the L'ast ri\cr and kept
the men in motion , but such a great mass of
iieoplo could not bo controlled altogether.
They surged along with a seemingly inesist-
iblo totcc.
The sticet was a scene of destination , and
the task of forcing a pas < ao seemed hcicu-
lean. Standing in Iront of the Grand street
feny house , as Inr as one could sco wcio
o\ertutned horse cars , carls , trucks and
wagops of all kinds. At 3:15 : p. m. a car
stalled from the stables and proceeded under
an escort ot lifty nollcemen to the starlets'
stand at East stiect. There the line ot March
was loimcd. headed bv Kupeilntendent Mur
ray and Inspector Slcers. First came six
platoons of police. Then followed a car en-
cloiod in a hollow square of police , numhcr-
InirlOO. The rear was closed by slxmoro
platoons of police. The totco started , amid
hooting , yelling and shouts of detlslon from
the mob. JSo obstacle was met until
tlio car leached Cannon sticet.
Thcro was a horse car lying on its side. It
was lifted tiom the tiack by the policemen ,
who iormcd theadvanco guard of tlio column.
Theieaftcrprogiess was slow. At Madison
sticct the Ihststonu was tin own and shuck
tlui Hide of the ear , In which were some minor
officials of the company and a sergeant of
police. AH the way to tno Howeiy the tiack
was obstructed with wrecks of street cats and
tincks. hut the advance guaidclcated them
away. At Utility stieet another stone wont
crashing thtouL'h the car window. At
East Broadway a laigo stone was placed
bcsido the track unnoticed and
the car was thrown off. This mishap was
irtcctcd with a tempest of yells fiom tlio
thousands lining the sheets. Oaths , hisses ,
scieams and wild cheering made the stieet a
perfect pandemonium , pf sound. The car
was lifted hack on the 'tracks and proceeded.
At Ludlow struct appthln1 window was
smashed nnd lotteu eggs were tlnown. At
Allan street the olockfulo was met. Caisof
thu Second a\criuo and other lines were
placed in all positions across the track ,
btones again limy and ) another car window
was btoken. The oustituitions wcio re
moved and again the car moved slowly on.
At Eldicdgo sheet moio blockades were
found , and tlio crowd attacked the police and
a general light took place , in which clubs
were used with a will and the rloteis weio
drl\en Into the .side sheets. Grand street
merchants , alarmed , took In their stocks ,
closed their doors and put up their shutters.
At the Grand street htatlon of the Third
a\L'iiuo elevated toad thcio was an Immense
Imiricado of cars , wagons and trucks. For
blocks In ovety direction could bo seen long
lines of cats and trucks in Inex-
trlcnblo contusion. All ha\el was sus
pended. It was 2 : < 5 p , m. before
the track was cleared of the many cars which
had been placed cross ways of the sticct from
Mulberry street to Center. A stone thrown
against tlio car struck Beigeant McEu > ry.
' 1 ho police lost all patience and chatged the
mob furiously. They clubbed tight and left ,
and succeeded In driving the ilotcrs down
thu side streets. Fiom ( hero to Bioadway
thu battle was \\ithuiidlminiEhedfury. .
Many were clubbed , and a number of police
struck with stones.
Broadway was reached after a hard strug
gle at 8:05 : p. m. Hero fully 60,000 people
were gathered as spectators. ' Hissing , hootIng -
Ing and yelling was continuous , and stones
continued to drop among the escort. At
\Voosterstreet u pile of brick full as the cat
was passing ami stopped it. This was 10-
moved. Another baiilcado was met and re
moved amid the howls of the woikmun. As the
car went toward the North rhcr , the factories
on cither sldo poured out their thousands
of employes , who met the police with ro-
preaches. West street was the last barricade
if coal wagons , beer wagons and loss. At
Desbrosses stieet a load of coal was dumped
on the t.ack.Yhcn the end ot the louto was
reached , the men were allowed n rest of ten
minutes after the terrible march. They then
returned over the same route to the stables.
Very few obstacles wcro offered to their
progress during the trip. Both ways the car
was obliged frequently to chaiigo fiom one
[ rack to the other.
The strikers jelled and hooted , but did not
obslruct the way to any extent until the
Uowery was reached. There theic was an
other ban Icadc , but it was soon icmovcd , and
then it was clear to the stables , which wcio
reached at 50p. : ! ! m. The strikers and po
lice left before 5 o'olock.
Among those Injured wcro Michael Her
man , Bernard Marten and W. lljmnii.all
with hcaln wounds. Bernard Gar-
vcy , an old man , was tiamplcd on
by the crowd and severely Inluird.
Mrs. Janus Maldou was takun homo 111 from
the shock caused by fear. A numbei of nircsts
weio made , nnd In court the paities wcio
cither lined or discharged for lack of evi
dence. Mrs. John Mason , sixty yeats old , of
Btooklyn , iccclved a contused wound on the

Supcilntcudcnl Murray said that no police
ofllceis weio hint by thu stones which
were tlnown. Ho would repeat the trip
