The Federal officers here are trying to

The Election Gases.
Charleston, S. C , April 26.—In the
United States circuit court to-day the
trial ot the case of the United States
against John T. Hogg and thirty-eight
other defendants, charged with obstruct-
ing qualified voters from voting at the
election in 1880, was resumed. The pros-
ecution examined six more colored wit-
nesses, who told the same story as tho-e
who had preceded them. The govern-
ment then rested the case for the United
States, and the defence had examined
two witnesses up to the hour
of adjournment. The witnesses tor
the defence testified that owing
to the rotten condition of the house in
which they held the election the mana-
gers were com Del led to accept a rule that
only one voter should be admitted at a
time. With this object in view two state
constab’es were placed and admitted the
voters one by one. White men got to the
polls first and formed into line, as is usual
at elections, and the negroes who had
camped all night near the polls, at day-
light marched to the polls in company
front and demanded the right to vote.
They were told that they could vote as
soon as their turn came. And
such of them as got into line and
took their turn had every opportunity
to vote, and did vote. Between thirty
and forty Republican votes were cast be-
fore nine o’clock. An altercation occur-
red beween a white man and a colored
man. and the main body of the colored
voters, who had withdrawn from the polls,
and were stationed about 100 yards off,
rushed down upon the whites with yells
and with clubs, pistols, scythes and
pieces of iron in their hands.
By the intervention of white and
colored men, a row was prevented,
and no person was hurt. The difficulty
lasted only about five minutes. About
this time the leader of the Republicans
received a dispatch from one of the coun-
ty leaders, telling him not to let his men
vote, and accordingly they refused to vote
any longer. When questioned by several
of the white men as to the reason why
they did not vote, negroes said their su-
pervisor had failed to come, and it was no
use to vote because the polls would be
contested anyhow.
The case will probably consume all
to-uio-rowand Friday.

Arizona to the President.
San Francisco, Cal., April 26 — A Tuc-
son dispatch says : At a meeting of sev-
eral thousand citizens, held last night, it
was unanimously decided that the follow-
ing be telegraphed as an open letter to
the president and his cabinet and to both
houses of congress:
‘‘During the rejoicing incident to the
grand military display, announced to take
place at Fortress Monroe on Thursday,
we beg to offer you as a skeleton to sit at
your banquet the fact that nearly one
hundred ot our pioneers have, within a
*ew days been murdered iu cold blood by
the Apaches, whom a cruel and mistaken
policy permits to survive their crimes. It
some small portion of the expenditure iu
your grand display could be devoted to
such measures as would preclude the
probability of an increase in the list of
our murdered dead, we could send you
greetings of gratitude and cheer in place
4 this message, revealing our sorrow,
helplessness, and our desolation.

Washington, April 26.—Senate—Butler
introduced a bill to provide for coalino-
deck and naval storehouse at Port Royaf.
Beck called up his hill to punish the
unlawful certification of bank checks. He
said it was identical with the bill which
passed the home soon after the Black
Friday troubles in New York. He quoted
from the report of the house committee
which investigated those troubles depre-
cating this practice of certification of
checks _ which don’t represent cash de-
posits in the department. Communica-
tions and laws on the subject'were order-
ed printed in the Record, and bill was laid
over till to-morrow.
The senate went to the calendar and
passed the bill to empower the secretary
of war to audit the claim for rent of state
ot South Carolina for occupation of the
Citadel academy at Charleston.
The senate bill for the removal of polit-
ical disabilities of Dr. A. Stidner Tibbs,
which the military committee had amend-
ed so as to repeal section 1,818 of the re-
vised statutes, being the act of July 12,
1866, was objected to by Edmunds.
The objection was followed by sundry
expressions of dissatisfaction on the Dem-
ocrat side, and Garland moved to take up
the bill, remarking that the question
was one which ought to be met at once.
Edmonds read the section to show that
it prohibits any person who has served in
the military or naval service ot the Con-
federate States from being appointed to
awy position in the army of the United
States.
After some disscussion the matter was
superceded by.'the anti-Chinese bill, which
came upas unfinished business. Slater,
of Oregon, b ang first speaker, read a re-
port which consumed an hour and a half,
and at its conclusion Pettibone, of Ten-
nessee, took the floor in support of the
case of contestant Lynch.
Edmunds moved that the amendment
defining the words “Chine-e labor'’ shall
mean persons who are usually engaged in
manual labor.
Farley obtained the floor, and the bill
went over.
Executive session, and adjourned.
House—On motion of Valentine, of Ne-
braska, the senate amendments to the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill were non-
concurred in.
Calkins, ot Indiana, chairman of the
committee on elections, called up the con-
tested election case of Lynch vs. Chal-
mers, from Mississippi.
Randall, of Pennsylvania, raised the
question ot consideration, and the house
decided, yeas 110, nays 59, to consider.
Atherton, of Ohio, demanded the read-
ing ot the report.
Atherton, of Ohio, made a long argu-
ment in favor of the minority report, de-
claring Chalmers entitled to the seat.
Moore, of Tennessee, in advocating the
seating of Lynch, protested against the
shilly shally. milk slop policy ot the
managers of the Republican party in the
house; if it had any managers, he insis-
ted on a vigerous policy in regard to con-
tested election cases. Warning his
party friends that, • unless they did
simple justice, and that soon, to
the Republican contestants who had
almost literally fought their way
to.the doors of this house, the Forty-eighth
congress would be in the hands ot a round
majority of bourbon democrats. He then
proceeded to criticize the Mississippi
plans, quoting from leading southern
Democrat papers to show that the negro
was not accorded his legal rights in the
state of Mississippi; that the Mississippi
plan had about run its course, and that
state had sent its last sol'd Democratic del-
egation to the house of representatives.
The matter then went over until to-mor-
row.
Dezendorf, Jrom the committee on na-
val affairs, reported a bill providing for
the payment of bounties to the officers

the command of Admiral Farragut.

Reidell Again in Court.
Washington, April 26 —The interest in
the star route cases was transferred to
J”dge Snell’s police court this morning-,
on the hearing in the case of Montford
C. Reidell, against whom new proceed-
ings have been entered on account of the
invalidity of the old indictment against
him. Nearly all the parties prominently
connected with the case were present
about the court. Among the new faces
were those of ex-Postmaster General
James and Attorney General McVeagh.
The new indictment is almost identical
with the old one except that
in the old the defendants’ names
are given in full and a few
verba changes have been made. Coun-
sel for the defense again moved for post-
ponement. but the motion was not enter-
tained. The reading of the indictment
occupied nearly four hours exactly. Gen.
McVeagh and ex-Postmaster James were
the only witnesses examined, and court
sat until 7:30 p.m., in order that their
testimony might be concluded. Through
the testimony the defense pursued the
same dilatory tactics in the way of objec-
tions, protests and interruptions to secure
an adjournment or postponement, but the
court annoonced readiness to sit until ten
o’clock or until the testimony was con-
cluded. If the present proceedings
against Reidell don’t secure his indict-
ment by May first, the statute of limita-
tions will end then, and new cases will
have to be found.
An Injunction.
Richmond, Ya., April 26.—State Treas-
urer Rively and Second Auditor Deaton,

Bank Note company for engraving, print-
ing, etc. Subsequently, at 2-45 o’clock,
p. m., an injunction was obtained from
Judge Welford, of the circuit court, by
State Attorney-General Blair, and was
served on the board, restraining them
from executing the contract.

is to say, with them the formation
of character is more solid, because
it is the result of a severe disci-
pline, of a determined will, of a
settled purpose- It is not the
mere accumulations of teachings
of others; to which, too often, on-
ly a lazy and drowsy attention has
been given.
The self-made man starts at the
bottom. He not only has to learn
by himself how to ascend the steep
and rugged stairs before him, but
he has to rack his brain how to
construct the stairs themselves
by which he shall ascend.
Hence he understands more ac-
curately than another all the con-
ditions of success. His attention
becomes more fixed. His thoughts
habitually concentrate on whatev-
er he undertakes. His judgment
is matured by the necessity im-
posed on him for its constant ex-
ercise. He is wary aud watchful,
and robust in all his being, as the
gymnast by constant exercise ex-
cels iu the development of muscle.
Hence it is that the community
feel greater confidence in self-made
men. There is a common feeling
that he who has succeeded against
great odds, who has made his mark
where those possessed of many ad-
vantages over him have failed to
make theirs, must possess in him-
self remarkable elements of suc-
cess. And the community is right.
The self-made men, on the whole,
are the safest to be entrusted with
undertakings. The stuff of which
they are made has been tested, and
has been found to be of the dura-
ble kind.

“l am too tired to go to Church,”
some excuser says. Tell me, are
you not more tired when Sunday
night comes than if you had been
at Church at least once ? The fact
is—worship is rest to the weary
body—the change from toil to the
quiet services is refreshing, and
the thoughts of Heavenly truths
rests the weary braiu. If yon are
so tired, go to church, and you
will find that your excuse is vain
aud worthless. Form the habit of
church-going, aud you will awake
Monday mornings refreshed for
another week’s duties.
