inircil bonds of { 5,000 each last evening and
liavo been lole.ised. Ilronek , the arch con
spirator , it still in confinement , and will
doubtless so remain. Inspector Honllold says
the case is complete with the tlireo arrests
iilready made. Ono or two othei s may have
known of the plot , but not to ttio extent Unit
thov could bo convicted. Any futtber anests
will be for the pin pose of holding witnesses
The inspector denies thu report of Chloboun's
confession.
Inspector Honfiohl has in tils possession
opies of a seciet oiicular differing but little
from the famous "Revenge" circular which
called the Hiivmarket meeting together two
joars aim. The paper , which is termed
"Tlio Rt'\enge , " calls for active steps
on the p.ut of all the old time an-
aichlsts to avenge the death of Spies ,
Pai sons , Lingg , Kngol and Fischer. It is
believed that the discovery of this sheet will
lead to thu arrest of piomincnt anarchists ,
not only in Chicago , but ail ov or tlio country.
Inspector Honfiuld said tins afteinuon that
the paper lias been stalled for the puiposu of
woiking up thu passions ot the anaiclnsts to
such a point that they w ill not stop at any
thing to avenge what is toi mod the "blood
thirsty murder of the nmrtyis. " Certain
m ticlea m o punted In tluoo language's and
urge that all true amnchists t.iko vigoions

and thus pi event similar minders.

The republican mcmbeis of the house have
at last decided to offer a substitute for the
Mills bill to moiiow , and they will do so if
the members of the paily can bo united on
the proposition of the republican membeis of
the ways and means committee A confer
ence has been In piogicss all this evening at
the rooms of Representative McKlnloy , of
Ohio , at which wore present Representatives
Hutlorwoilh of Ohio , Hurrows of Michigan ,
Guff of West Virginia , Heed of Maine , Mor
row of California. McICenim of California ,
and some of tlio Kansas representatives.
Tlio scheme proposed by the confereni-o is
very simple and consists merely of three sub
jects : First , to roditco the tax on sugar one-
half ; second , to repeal the tax on alcohol
used in the arts , and thltd , to repeal the
Internal revenue tax on all forms of man-
f.ictuicd tobacco except cigars. This ,
it is said , will effect a saving of
? U,000,000. The object of the republicans in
ofToiing an alllrmativu proposition tomorrows
s to escape fiom the stigma that they are
really not dcsiious of reducing the surplus.
They claim that If this proposition is accepted
hero need bo no fear of the surplus , as it
will take out of tlio treasury at last $00,000-
000 and that it will prevent any dnngoious
accumulation of mono ) , \\iiicli is ono of the
re.i ons ui god lor the passage of the Mills
" : ull. They assort Unit the passage of the
loiiiocrntie turift bill will paiaHvo half the
industries of tlio country , while this bill \\ill
not affect any intoiest at all except th.it of
sugar , and will effectually reduce tlio sur-
l > lus.The
The Kansas and California lepresentatives
no the gieat objuctois to this scheme being
sillied through. They say that the repeal
of half tlio duty will dost toy the glowing
ugar intci est ot tlKjso states and th.it the
: ompetition will bo so fleico that it will bo
crushed out ot existence. Tlio other lepuh-
lican membois , however , who are desirous
of oIToi ing a substitute to-morrow , icasoii
with tliein that they ought to bo willing to
make some sacrifice for tlio good of the
p utv mid that if the tax is reduced one-half
it will still leave sugar protected 11 per cent ,
which is moro than the average pioteotion
iifToulod by the Mills bill. Tlio discussion
over the question to-night was long and
cat nest. The Califoi nia members \voic easily
convinced Unit it would bo best for their
inteiest to assent to tins proposition
hut the Kansas men could not
see it in that light. At the present time the
confeiciico is still in session , and it is yet un
determined whether the pioposition will bo
can led. The republican leaders say that
they will not oiler a substitute unless the
party is practically united , and that it would
bo useless for them to intiod'ico any moasuio
and not have the full stiength of the pai ty to
vote for it. If they can command the full
pai ty vote they claim that it will put the
democrats in the alternate of either accept
ing tlio proposition or else showing that they
an : not so much desiiousof icdiicing the
surplus as of reeonstiueting the entiio taufT
s.vstem. In either event the republicans hope
to make n good deal of patty capital. Should
it bo decided to offer this substitute tomorrow
row , tlio motion will bo made after Mr. Mills
moves the final passage of his bill , when Mr.
Heed or some other icpubllcan member
'
of the ways and means cojjiimtTe'cr'wIll move
to amend by rc'eonmi ttnig the bill to the
ways and mean3Jmiiiitteo with institutions
to ieportJ > ( rtK ? the u publican substitute.
rttfot motion bo c.iuicd the republican
Tll of course be adopted , but should the
oto be against it the Mills bill will bo taken
up and passed.

Nebraska mombiMs of the house nro feel
ing very well over their success in securing
the pas ago of the bill granting aid to the
state soldiers' homes. The bill was intro
duced in tlio senate by Mr. Manderson and
passed that body recently. It gives to state
liomes S1UO a jear for each soldier or sailor
admitted and cm ed for. There was a hot
light against tlie mcnsuio by the flic-eating
confederates in the house but they lost as
they did in 1S < 5. Tim bill will go to the
picsldent for his signature. The bill will
lender substantial assistance iu Nebiaska ,
Iowa , and surrounding states , whore there
are soldier homes or w hero the states intend
const ! mting them.
The bill for the repair of the military posts
in Xobinsha was not reached.
MVIIO.Xr. COMINO IlUk TO CO dltESS.
It is said that General William Mahone ,
ex-confederato general and ex-republican
senator from Virginia , will make an effort to
get back to congress. AH both semuorships
are democratic for years to come , General
Mahono will endeavor to enter the lower
house. It is understood that ho will bo a
candidate fiom the Fouith or Petersburg
district. This district includes what is
known ns the "black belt , " owing to the
cnoimous pieponderanco of colored voters.
Tlio icpublican majoiity in the district is
genei ally between 7,000 and b.OOO , of which
nearly two-thirds are ooloied voters. ShoulO
General Mahono consent to run ho
will not lack lor opposition. Be
sides the regular democratic candidate ,
whoevtr ho may be , Geneial Mahono
will have to light a republican candldato in
the shape of 1'iof Langston , cx-ininisier to
Hnjti , the coloied delegate fiom Virginia
whoso speech in seconding Sherman at Chicago
cage wasconstdcred , perhaps , the best speech
made. Prof. Langston has stated that lie
will not w ithdraw for General Mahono or
anybody else , and that if ho does not get the
nomination fiom his party ho will maKe a ill-
loct appeal to the republican voteis of bis
uistiict. Prof. Luigston is probably actu
ated in this line of conduct by the belief that ,
the cntiru colored element will suppoit him.
If Piof. Langston will try to roiollect the
fate of nil his colored predecessors
ho will find it anything but
encouraging. The coloied clement is largeli
In the majority , it is true , but no colored man
who over aspired for a nomination fiom that
district ever received it , and only ono disap-
IKimtod aspirant had the hardihood to ap
peal direct li to his coloied biethren. His
vote was scarcely largo enough to bo counted.
Tlio white republicans , while in the minor
ity , are , of course , the ruling element , anil
aio Virginians enough never to vote for a
colored man. in addition to all this it musi
bo remembered that Petersburg is Genera !
Mahono's home , and it is the particular place
of his strength , so that though he limy have
the democrats , Mr. Wise and Professoi
Langston , to light , it Is probable that ho wll
bo nominated and elected if he determines to
run.

although It is now veiy considerably changed

i.e\citheless a mostimpoitant measure , oven
in its abridged state. It is certain , if it does
