CONWAY’S SCHEME.
What Mr. Hayes Has to Say
About Sending Armed Boats
to Carry Off Negroes.
Trf§ NEGRO EXODUS.
Washington, May 26.—Messrs.
Conway and Turner, acting in the
interest of emigration from the
South, have had an interview with
the president, to whom they made
the statement that great difficul-
ties were being thrown in the
way of the exodus movement by
planters and their friends along
the Mississippi, and asking the
president if violations of the law
protecting American citizens in
their rights to travel, would not be
resented by the general govern-
ment. The president, who listened
attentively to their statements, is
reported, substantially, as express-
ing his approval of the colored
emigration, and as declaring that
resistance to lawful business on a
national highway, such as the Mis-
sissippi, would be rebellion, and
there would be no doubt of gov-
ernment interfernce in such an
event.
LATER.
The report of the interview of
Conway with the president, is now
said by the president and his
friends to have been erroneous in
some particulars. Mr. Conway de-
sired to know definitely whether
the president approved of the
proposition to go with chartered
boats and deliver the thousands
of people on the banks of the
river, and it was said last evening
that he replied he thought the
step ought to be taken as one of
justice and humanity. The presi-
dent’s Information, as it now ap-
pears, has not led him to suppose
that there are thousands of color-
ed people on the bands of the
river awaiting transportation, and
he did not advise the chartering
or sending of steamboats to take
them away.

Marshall, May 26.—Our city
was thrown into considerable ex-
citement to-day, occasioned by a
shooting match. It seems that
W. A. Wilkinson, who has charge
of a stationary engine at the rail-
road shops, procured a license to
marry a Mrs. Allen, sister to John
Angell, at ten o’clock this morn-
ing. Mr. Angell was opposed to
the match, and had threatened to
kill Wilkinson, and was seen with
a gun going towards his (Angell’s)
house. As Wilkinson approach-
ed Angell busted a cap on his gun
at him. Wilkinson then took the
gun away from Angell, when An-
gell went back and got his pistol,
and the shooting became general.
Wilkinson was shot in the wrist,
and Angell in the bowels and sev-
eral other places, and will proba-
bly die.
The grand jury has been recon-
vened for the 28th, to investigate
several matters.
Later.—Mrs. Allen declares
her determination to marry Wil-
li erson at the risk of incurring the
displeasure of all her relatives.
GOULD , AND VANDERBILT.
They Are Getting Too Strong
and Must Be Taken Down.
This government has paid more
money proportionately in the ag-
gregate, and in all ways, to its sol
diers and sailers and their heirs,
than any other government on the
face of the earth. Since the for-
mation of the government it has
paid directly as pensions $535,-
368,727.27. Of this amount $355,
480,664 havo been paid since 1864,
or for the soldies and sailors of
the late war. Since I860 the an-
nual pension bill has averaged
$30,000,000. On top of all this,
last March there was an appropri
ation of $25,000,000 for the arrea-
ges of pensions to soldiers on the
rolls who have been taking the
$30,000,000 each year. There have
been filed in the pension office 56,-
200 claims by pensioners already
on the rolls for the benefits of the
arreages act. Under the same act
thousands of claims of persons
never before on the pension rolls
are coming in and they will have
to be provided for, that is those
who can make out a good case.
For instance, a man who lost a
finger and never before thougst it
worth while to get a pension of
two or three dollars a month. Now
he comes in because his arreages
would give him three or four hun-
dred dollars at once. There were
on the rolls last 206,380 army pen-
sioners, and 3,846 navy pension-
ers. Besides these there were
10,407 pensioners and 3,725 heirs
of pensioners of the war of 1812,
each pensioner drawing $8 per
month. It is estimated that for
the 00,866 pensioners on the roll
for the civil war it will require the
$25,000,000 appropriation to pay
the arreages of those who did be-
gin drawing a pension at the date
of disability as the new law now
provides they might have done.

A Yellow Fever Scare.
Indianapolis, May 24. — Miss
Jennie Fouts, aged twenty, died in
the city hospital last night from
what the superintendent pro-
nounced pernicious remittent fe
ver. Prior to her death there was
black vomit, and the presence was
noted of blood corpuscles and the
acid reaction which are character-
istic of the yellow fever. There
have been five similar cases with-
in the past few weeks in the insti-
tution, and the city was alarmed
this afternon by the common re-
port that the genuine yellow fever
had come. All the medical frater-
nity, however, unite in styling the
disease nothing more than perni-
cious fever, with no danger of its
taking an epidemical form. There
have been but few cases.
Philadelphia Ledger’s New York Letter.
The merchants and business men
of this city (such of them as are
speaking their minds,) are dispos-
ed to look with disfavor upon the
new combinations which Mr. Wil-
liam Vanderbilt is reported to be
making at the West, with a view
of obtaining sole control , of a
grand transcontinental line to the
Pacific. They say the New York
Central is already too great a pow-
er, and that it is not desirable that
that power should be increased.
The. reported schemes of his rival,
Mr. Gould, to build up a compet-
ing transcontinental route, by
uniting Erie with a variety of
bankrupt and semi-bankrupt rail-
roads West and Southwest, is also
contemplated with pretty much
the same feeling. The talk is that
these railroad monarchs have
grown too strong now for the com-
mercial public, and that as the
state governments are too feeble
to deal with them, the time is come
when they must be takeu in hand
by the Federal government. The
difficulty, not to say the impossi-
bility of obtaining from them a re-
dress of grievances doubtless lias
much to do with this feeling, and
it is not improbable,therefore, that
tiie legislative committee which
sits here all summer to investigate
the charges which the merchants
have preferred against the extor-
tions and discriminations of the
New York Central will make a re-
port to that effect. This is cer-
tainly the drift of things. There
are prominent men here who here-
tofore were opposed on principle,
to everything that looked like
Federal interference with these. *
corporations, but a great change
has come over these, and they are
now as ready to invoke the Fed-
eral power as they were formerly
to resist it. If an old-fashioned
Minnesota “Granger” bill could
be put in force to-day it would
have the undivided support of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Pro-
duce and Cottou Exchanges, and
of almost all the great business in-
terests of the city. But as it is
believed that the day has gone by
when the railroad power can be re-
strained by mere state legislation,
you must not be surprised if all
these bodies are found, ere long,
pronouncing, not in favor of half-
way grangerism, but in favor of
the more sweeping principle of
Federal supervision.

Dashed Out a Baby’s Brains.
Milwaukee, Wis., May 24.—A
horrible murder was committed in
Kewaskum, one of the' interior
towns of the state, yesterday
morning, and has just been report-
ed. An old man, named Nicholas
Altenhofer, dashed a six-weeks-old
baby agaibst a wall and scattered
its brains out, and then took the
babe in his arms, carried it to the
priest, and confessed his crime.
The coroner’s jury have decided
Allen was insane, the cause of in-
sanity being pecuniary loss, in-
volved by the failure of his
brother, whose paper he had en-
dorsed, the failure rendering him
almost a pauper.
