"Forgive and Forget."
At the recent reunion of the Society
of tlie Army of the Potomac, the orator
of the day, Gen. John A. Dix, in the
course of a long address, said:
It remains only to forget that we have ever
bei*n alienated; or. if the memory can not be
thus constrained, we may act as though the
psst w«-r«» forgotten. I know that such an ap-
peal need not be addressed to you. Those
who have been confronted in deadly combat
are always the first to lay aside their animosi-
ties when the wager of battle has been tried
and fairly decided. If at the North there are
some who would rnfce open the expiring em-
bers of a strife of which the flames have been
burned out and extinguished; if at the South
there are those who persevere in fomenting
the ancient bitterness, and insist that their
prosperity depends on the restoration of a so-
cial order on which the hand of Providence
has set the seal of death, let us be thankful
that these are only sporadic cases of a moral
distemper from wnicn the great body of the
people an- exempt. Let us begin the century
which is about to commence as our fathers
l»fj;an that which is about to close, in a spirit
of mutual forbearance, with no rivalry but
that of promoting our common prosperity, in
thankfulness for our rescue from the dangers
we have passed, and ivi trustfulness in the
SuTwrigt Baler >>f tbe Uulwnw for oar d«
live ranee from those which lie before us.
Subsequently (Jen. Sherman, in re-
sponse to vehement calls, made a brief
speech, in which lie remarked that the
orator of the day had taught a good
lesson of charity. " Why," he said,
" if we had been born in Georgia,
nursed by black slaves, and taught to
regard their condition as natural, then
we might have worn the grey instead
of the blue. Now, remember always
these lessons of reconciliation—forgive
anil forget, provided thev do the same.
]5ut if they do not forgive and forget,
tell tl.em (pointing to the cannon) to
think of that." Gen. Sheridan was
next loudly called for, and replied with
the assurance that he was disposed to be
as charitable as any one, but added,
" when I hear a man say he is going to
try the same thing over again, I am go-
ing to reserve my shell." It would be
easy to retort upon the Sherman and
Sheridan way of putting the problem
of reconciliation. It would be easy to
convict them both of indelicacy, bad
taste, and want of generous forbearance.
I5ut the criticism and the triumph
would be alike unprofitable. The cause
of genuine reconciliation is not to be
advanced by drawing out the process of
mutual irritation. In cases of this sort
confidence and friendship must go hand
in hand. It is morally impossible that
reconciliation can lie established while
either party suspects the other of
cherishing resentful memories and
vindictive desires. Forgiving and
forgetting, to become the basis of a cor-
dial and durable good understanding,
must be simultancons with the parties
and unreserved with both. It is need-
less to proceed further with these
reflections. Let us study rather some
of the realities of the actual situa-
tion by the light of these recent utter-
ances of Gen. Dix, Gen. Sherman and
Gen. Sheridan 011 the subject of laying
aside the animosities and abiding by the
results of the war. By taking the ave-
rage of the sentiments severally ex-
pressed, we may doubtless arrive at the
average of Northern temper and thought
in relation to the problem of reconcilia-
tion. Gen. Dix assumes that irrecon-
cilable fonientors, North or South,
ot the ancient bitterness "are only
sporadic cases of a moral distemper
from which the great body of the peo
pie :ire exempt." Rut Sherman and
Sheridan, while claiming not to lie be-
hind Dix in disposition to forgive and
forget, take care to refer to the hypoth
esis of a revival of the old quarrel as a
possible, if not probable, contingency
which ought to t>e discreetly pro
vided against. It would be use-
less to deny that this manner of
viewing the matter largely pervades the
Northern mind. The ghosts of seces
sion and disunion have sufficient terror
for millions of people in the North to
set them (irmly against giving up the
presidency to any Southerner of the old
Stale rights school, or to any one
North or South, who sided or sympa
tliized with the Confederacy. Republican
politicians, such as Maine, Morton and
Conkling well understand the strength
of this feeling, and they intend to
make the most, of it by representing
that the accession of a Democratic ad
ministration would be a quasi-Confeder
ate victory and a menace to the Union
To play this game successfully, they
must be accommodated with a Demo-
cratic nominee for President whose re
cord is really or apparently vulnerable
from a Northern stand-point, with re
ference to the cause of the Union and
the results of the war. By nominating
such a man ns Gen. Hancock they
would lie denied the necessary accom
modation, and their game would be
blocked. The Republicans could
not go into the presidential
campaign on the desired line
of aggression. With such a ticket
as indicated, the Democratic party-
would be in a position to take the ag-
gressive from the start and to follow
it up without interruption, while the
Republican party would be forced to
the defensive for an administration
which is notoriously indefensible. A
contest thus defined would contain ob-
vious elements of success for the De-
mocratic ticket and of final and irre-
trievable overthrow for the party of
Grant, Morton. Blaine, Conkling, Dab-
cock. Schenek and Belknap.
The Herald has obtained the opinions
of the New York delegates to Cincin-
nati, and finds but two of them un-
favorable to Conkling. Nine-tenths of
them are his personal friends, and
among them are some of the ablest
politicians in the country.
Pikrrepont and Morton have had an
interview the result of which creates
quite a sensation in W ashihgton. Mor-
ton, confident of increasing strength,
has been indisposed to listen to terms
of coalition, and his listening to I'ierre-
pont is regarded as a sign of weakening.
The Attorney General has been regard-
ed as a friend of Bristow; was thought
to belong to the better side of the He-
publican party, and was given to de-
nouncing men of the Morton stripe.
His sudden conversion to Conkling is
said to be in consequence of a bargain
between him and Grant, by which he
is to have choice of the English Mission
or the Secretaryship of State. Pierre-
pont made an elaborate showing of
Morton's strength, proving conclusive-
ly that he would lose votes after the
first ballot; that by entering into a league
with Conkling, whose force was about
equal to Morton's at the start, wTith re-
serves to come up aa needed, Conkling
could be nominated, and Morton made
second figure in the administration.
Tbe logic of Pierrcpont has made a pro-
found impression, and many of Mor-
ton's friends are cursing themselves for
the part they took against Blaine.
The Galveston, Harrisburg and San
Antonio Railroad will issue excursion
tickets at a fare and one-fifth for the re-
union of Hood's Texas Brigade at
Bryan, July 12th. The Houston and
Texas Central, International and Great
Northern and Galveston, Houston and
Henderson railroads, have already given
notice to that effect.

The Galveston Breakwater Bill I11
the House Postponed Till
June 22d.
Prop-
The Sun thinks that if skillful po-
litical management can accomplish that
end, Conkling will be nominated at Cin-
cinnati. He has at his back some of the
most adroit political managers in the
Republican party, and what is very im-
portant, they feel confident of being
able to nominate their man.
A Western paper says it seems
strange to see Bnstow's friends so em-
phatic in their endeavors to disprove
charges of corruption, when nothing
that could be done will so surely insure
his defeat at Cincinnati as to prove him
honest.
Tile Suit thinks that the Ohio and In-
diana Democracy may bolt the St.
Louis nominations, but if the right sort
of a hard-money reform candidate is
nominated, that lie will be elected in
spite of them.
Mcllig.in denies being a Catholic,
and that he was instigated to his attack
on Blaine because of religious differ-
ences. He declares that he and the ex-
Speaker are brother Presbyterians.
Wh at are the delegates to the Repub-
lican National Convention, who are
pledged to Blaine, to do, is now the
question. Grant will let them know all
in good time.
Gov. IIartrakft says Gen. Meade
taught him that the only way to escape
from a rear fire was to advance. Will
the Governor try that sort of tactics at
Cincinnati?

City Council-
[Special Telegram to the Galveston Neics.]
Rhenium, June 12, 1870,
The City Council resigned on Satur-
day last. Au election is ordered for the
17th inst. The cause was condemna
tion by several citizens of their action
in memorializing the Legislature as to
limit of taxation. The council was
composed of prominent citizens and
tax-payers, and the probability is that
they will be forced to run again, as a
majority of the tax-payers are ready to
enforcc'their official acts in managing
alT'urs of the city.

Bills and resolutions—By Mr. Moore
Requiring a committee to report all
bills of a general character. Adopted.
By Mr. Guv—To repeal section 7 of
act of '48 in the mode of trving title to

By Mr. Brady—To define the qualifi-
cations of voters.
Also bill to better preserve county
records.
By Mr. Storey—Concerning records
of liens and judgment on real estate.
By Mr. Smith—To provide for re-
sumption of the State penitentiary, set-
tlement with the lessees and making
necessary appropriation therefor; being
of the same tenor as the bill in the
House by Mr. MeCuiston.
Ry Mr. Ford—To regulate business
of insurance.
By Mr. Brady—Resolution of in-
struction to Judiciary Committee No. 2
to inquire whether the Legislature has
power to pass special law to encourage
institutions of learning.
On motion of Mr. Stephens the rules
were suspended and House bill reappro-
priating appropriation of last year for
frontier defense. Passed second and
third readings.
Unfinished business—Pending amend-
ment allowing five thousand dollars in
lieu of homesteand and one thouband
dollars in exempted property.
Mr. Thompson offered a substitute
for section 57, of Mr. Brady's amend
ment allowing five thousand dollars but.
no exempted property; gave widows,
when mothers of children of deceased
half, and minor oWMrcn half, except
when owning separate estates.
Mr. Brady was delighted to meet Mr.
Thompson in kindred spirit and accept-
ed tlie substitute.
Mr. Edwards opposed it.
The substitute was lost.
An emergency clause was added to
the bill on motion ot Mr. Wortham.
Mr. Brad}- offered a proviso to the
section giving allowance not exceeding
five thousand dollars.
Mr. Edwards presented statistics
from the Secretary of State, show-
ing that the average homestead in Tex-
as did not exceed one thousand dollars,
and thought two thousand dollars a
liberal allowance.
Mr. Francis moved the previous ques-
tion on engrossment. Lost.
Mr. Brady's provision was adopted by
a vote—ayes 14 and nays 11.
Mr. Thompson offered an amendment
creating the office of public administra-
tor, to hold for four years. Such was
the custom in other States.
Mr. Guy opposed it. He knew the
ill effects of such an office. Public ad-
ministrators arc generally considered
public swindlers instead of administra-
tors.
Messrs. Edwards and Brady favored
it.
Mr. Terrell opposed. If no estate
was left, no public administrator was
needed, and, if an estate, the judge
might safely be entrusted to perform
the duty under existing provisions of
law. Remembered how the system
worked in old States, and had not "form-
ed favorable opinions of stereotyped ad-
ministrators.
Mr. Ledbetter opposed the amend-
ment.
Amendment lost by 12 to 16.
The President appointed Messrs.
Piner, Hobby and Terrell a committee
of conference on the part of the Senate
on County Court bill.
The following material amendments
were adopted to the Probate bill:
By Mr. Henry (of Cass)—To section
•57, giving widows allowance in lieu of
exempted articles, when not existing in
kind. The Senate refused to consider
the vote adopting Mr. Brady's amend-
ment.
By Mr. McLeary—To section 5 and
the allowance for exempted articles
shall not exceed $500 exclusive of one
year's provisions.
By Mr. Terrell—To section 35, pro-
vided that no married women shall ad-
minister on the estate of her former
husband during the continuance of a
subsequent marriage.
By Mr. Carroll—To section 57, no
property on which liens have been
given by the husband to secure credi-
tors shall be appropriated to make up
the $5000 or $500 aforesaid until the
debts secured by said liens shall be dis-
charged.
This last amendment was adopted
somewhat hastily and without discus-
sion.
Some subsequent business intervened
when Mr. Rrady moved to rcconsider
the vote.
This brought up the whole vexed
question again. Sir. Terrell thought
they might as well burn the bill if this
amendment whs not remedied, and a
legal argument sprang up between Sen
ators regarding mortgage liens. '1 The
vote on the question to reconsider was
a tic and the president gave deciding
vote against reconsideration. Mr. Ter-
rell moved to amend by adding to Car-
roll's amendment after husband and
wife, acknowledge privately apart from
the husband, which was adopted by a
vote of 12 to 11.
The bill was then engrossed. On
motion of Mr. Smith the rules were
suspended and the bill passed.
House bill working county roads
came up as unfinished business. The
Senate bill was adopted as a substitute
when the Senate adjourned. The post
ponement of the breakwater bill in the
House is considered fatal to the sub

Austin, June 12, 187G.
Mr. Coleman presented the following
petitions and bills from Harrison
county: Citizens asking protection
against wrongful acts and discrimina
tion of Texas and Pacific Railroad; also
asking special term of District Court
for Harrison county; and bills to pro
vide a special term, to regulate railroad
companies, and to regulate charges of
railroad companies.
Also, to amend the law protecting
fish.
Also, to punish the sending of threat
ening letters.
Also, petition of Rusk county against
occupation tax.
The Committee on Education reported
a bill to establish a general system of
free schools, being substitute for all
bills previously substituted.
The House receded from amendments
to County Court bill, in which the Sen-
ate had refused to concur, except one,
and a committee of conference was ap-
pointed.
County Attorney's bills passed to
third reading without amendment.
The breakwater for Galveston was
considered as a special order.
Mr. Lang moved a postponement,
which motion he shortly withdrew.
Mr. Baker moved to postpone. He
thought the House had too many spe-
cial orders. He thought it a matter of
special importance to Galveston only,
and could well be postponed.
Mr. Chessley thought the case was
one requiring prompt action for or
against the measure; that it was not a
matter only of local concern, but af-
fected general interests.
Mr. Quin held that the interests of a
very large proportion of tlie people of
the State were as much involved as Gal-
veston's.
Mr. Martin opposed immediate atten-
tion to the bill. He was unwilling to
take his share of the cursing to follow
such legislation, though he was not an
enemy of the bill.
Mr. Kessler favored postponement.
He read from the Galveston News of
September, denying that the storm had
been the occasion of great losses, or of
supreme danger, in order to show no
necessity existed for action. He also
read from the Comptroller's report to
show that Galveston had not paid the
tax on polls and personal property; said
no other city had fallen as far short in
these respects in proportion to popula-
tion.
Mr. Koppcrl repelled the attack on
his constituents, and showed that the
Comptroller's statement was intended
to indicate the imperfection of the sys-
tem and laws for assessing property,
and gave (ialveston as an instance, lie
showed by the difference in favor of the
city over county assessments that it was
not the fault of the people of Galves-
ton, but of the mode of assessing prop-
erty, the result was to be ascribed.
Mr. Watson favored immediate ac-
tion, that the people of Galveston might
know whether they were to receive
State aid so that they might go to work
at once in either event.
Mr. Quin showed a difference of
$7,000,000 between State and city as-
sessments of Galveston city, and held it
was due to inefficiency of State laws
regulating assessments. He held that
immediately after the storm, owing to
the fear in the public mind from exag-
gerated reports and telegrams, the
News had published the article read by
the gentleman from Comal, to reassure
the people having interests and busi-
ness relations in Galveston.
Mr. Kessler said he had various other
newspaper articles on the subject of the
storm, which he would read when the
proper time arrived, and also informa
tion about breakwaters dating back
eighteen hundred years.
Mr. Kopperl thought if the gentle
man was so well prepared, he should
not be so urgent to postpone considera-
tion.
The motion to postpone was adopted,
and, 011 motion of Mr. Kopperl, the
bill was made special order for June
22d, and from day to day until disposed
of.
Rill to remit taxes of Rockwall
county came up, under adverse report
of the committee. Report adopted.
Bill to provide for enforcement of
mechanics' lien passed.
Bill to make all fines and forfeitures
payable in currency passed by a close
ote.
The rules were suspended, and the
county attorneys' bill was finally passed.
Adjourned.
Coke's Financial Policy—The Peni-
tentiary.
Special Tele'jram to the Galveston New?.]
Austin, June 12, 1870.
Mr. Kopperl explained in the House
to-day that there was no fear of a fail-
ure to meet the bonds maturing in July ;
that they were university or school
bonds, and that under the constitution
the Governor had the right to take
them up with the cash in the treasury
belonging to that fund. It is under-
stood that the opposition to the
imposition of a special tax of fif-
teen cents to pay interest includes
the Executive, and is believed to be
inspired by him. It is, if adopted,
an unanswerable verdict against the
financial policy of the administration.
If not adopted, State warrants, which
are now down to ninety cents, will de-
cline still more, and the whole expense
of the State will fall back for a long
term of years upon the shiftless, dis-
graceful hand-to-mouth system which
enriches Austin bankers and robs the
judges and all the officers of the State
of a part of their meagre incomes.
Under no circumstances will the State
default upon its interest. Then why
default upon warrants of judges for
their salaries? "The State Treasurer
must never allow interest to be pro-
tested," is the doctrine of the execu-
tive department; but those who give
their services daily to the enforcement
of the laws must wait and discount
their claims because the Legislature
must not say the late financial scheme
is a failure by imposing a tax, for one
year at least, "to get the State back upon
a paying basis.
The Penitentiary Investigation.
[Special Telegram to the Galveston News. ]
Austin, June 12, 1876.
The Penitentiary Committee left this
evening for Iluntsville. They go for
nothing. The administration will not
assume the responsibility of resump-
tion, nor permit a few patriotic mem-
bers to force it back upon them. A re-
port contradicting tlie current and no-
torious history of the penitentiary
would be refreshing and exceedingly
useful, though perhaps the only persons
in Texas who would believe it are the
surviving members of the whitewash-
ing committee of the Fourteenth Legis-
lature.
Wheat for Galveston.
[Special Telegram to the Galveston News. ]
Austin, June 12, 1876.
The first car load of wheat ever ship-
ped from Travis county was shipped to-
day, by Robertson, Rust & Co., to Wols-
ton. Wells & Vidor, of Galveston.
There will be a very large surplus of
wheat and oats for shipment from this
section this season, and until mills are
erected, Galveston will get the surplus
if prices are favorable.
SAN ANTONIO.
Touching Pate of a Little Boy.
[Sjiecial Telegram to the Galveston Aeu>*.]
San Antonio, June 12, 1876.
Yesterday (Sunday) the families of
Mr. J. J. Marshall and Henry Velt
mann went out picnicking on the
Leon. At 4 r. m. they missed little
Charley Veltmann, four year old boy,
and searched for him in vain. Several
men from neighboring ranchos, and
quite a party from the city, huuted him
all night to no purpose. During the
night a fearful wind and rain storm
passed over the country—poor Charley
still lost. The search continued all day
to-day, and at 2 p. m. little Charley was
found in the Leon, drowned. His re
mains were brought to the city this
evening.
CINCINNATI.
The City Filling With Delegates to
the National IfcpuMican Conven-
tion.
[Special Telegram to the Galveston News. ]
Cincinnati O. , June 12, 1S76.
The situation to-night is very favora-
ble for Blaine, who will certainly be
nominated if doubts as to his health can
be removed. He gained strength all
day. Conkling has also made import-
ant gains, and has secured the promise
of one-third to one half of Morton's
vote on the second ballot. There is no
sincerity in the Southern support of
Morton, and the promise of patronage
and money made by Conkling's man-
agers, liii^e captured a good many col-
ored and other voters.
Bristow has gained nothing during
the day.
A meeting consisting of one Blaine
man from each State was held this even-
ing, and a thorough canvass was made,
omitting all contested and doubtful
States, and tlio3e having candidates.
The cauvass showed twenty-nine Blaine
votes on the first ballot; thirty-five on
the second, and nomination on the
third. Blaine men are determined to
stand by him. Nothing but unfavora-
ble reports of his health can apparently
prevent his nomination.
[Associated Press.l
Cincinnati, June 11.—About onc-lialf
the delegates are now here, and the rest
are expected to-morrow and Tuesday
morning. Among the distinguished
men who arrived this morning, were
Gov. Morgan, Geo. William Curtis, of
New York; Gen. Hawley, of Connect-
cut; James Russell Lowell, Richard H.
Dana, Judge Hoar, Charles B. Farwell,
Joseph Medill, John A. Logan, Matt.
Carpenter and Gov. Shepherd. Several
others came in from Washington.
Logan, Carpenter and Shepherd ear-
nestly opposed the nomination of Bris-
tow, while of the others named, all ex-
cept Farwell, are for Bristow. Far-
well is advocating the nomination of
Wm. A. Wheeler and says that several
others of the Illinois delegation will go
with him. He urges this nomination as
a compromise. The contest between
the friends of Blaine, Conkling and
Bristow is fierce, and threatens to be-
come irreconcilable, while between the
friends of Bristow, Morton and Hays
there is the greatest cordiality, and
agreement that, with the nomination of
either, the others will be satisfied.
Conkling men were very busy schem-
ing, and count on winning through
combinations. They are offering sec-
ond place to friends of Hayes, but the
latter refuse to take the bait.
There was great excitement in the
citj' upon receipt of the news of Blaine's
illness, and speculation is rife as to
where his strength will go in case his
illness proves serious.
Blaine's sickness has causcd great
anxiety, and appears to have wTorked
against him in the matter of winning
doubtful delegates to his support. There
appears to be 110 break in the original
strength of the several parties, or
change in figures for first ballot, or
progress in combinations.
Morton men are starting with the as-
sumption that Blaine will not recover
in time to secure in the convention the
vote lie otherwise would, even if pre-
sented there at all. They are in much
better spirits to-day than yesterday;
claim that the danger of defeat of their
candidate lias lessened, and what dan-
ger he has to fear comes from a new
source, not. as yesterday, from Conk-
ling, but Hayes. Should it be found
that Blaine could not be nominated, it
is claimed that one-third of Iowa, a por-
tion of Wisconsin, a share of Michigan,
a fraction of Illinois, and a pretty full
vote from Maine will go for Mor-
ton when Blaine drops.
The delegation from Indiana is as
determined to s,tick by Morton to the
bitter end. and have no second choice.
Contested seats from Alabama
will be the first matter before
the convention which will create
any discussion. It will be pre-
ceded by formal business. The con-
vention will be called to order by Gov.
Morgan, of New York, chairman of the
National Central Committee, who will
make a brief address, not exceeding
five minutes in length. Then Judge
Stanley Matthews (temporary presiding
officer) will address the convention, af-
ter which the committees on creden-
tials, resolutions, etc, will be appointed.
The report of tlie Alabama case will
then conic up.
It is proposed by some to settle the
difficult point by admitting neither, but
feeling among Blaine, Morton and
Conkling seems in favor of admitting
the Spencer delegation, since none of
its members will vote for Bristow, who
is regarded as a common enemy.
Each of the three candidates named
hope for strength from the Spencer
delegation.
Owing to Mr. Blaine's attack Sunday,
aggressive warfare on the part of his
friends is not very active to-day. Much
of their time is necessarily spent in re-
assuring delegates alarmed at the tone
of some dispatches received from Wash-
ington. The apparently unfavorable
telegrams are met by others received
from liis family, and it can not be safe-
ly said yet that any votes are lost to
liim by his sickness. Should his condi-
tion remain unimproved twenty-four
hours more, however, there are said to
be several who would support him only
in a formal and possibly on first formal
ballot.
This evening Senator Logan claims
that Blaine has 309 votes on first for-
mal ballot, and on the second will se-
cure enough wanderers to put him
through. Senator Logan denies the
statements that he is at heart for Conk-
ling. Bristow men are making claims
that on the second formal ballot he will
have 200 votes; nearly all the Missouri
delegates unite on him. They admit
their force is chiefly made up of scatter
ers, but they claim that those will stand
firm against all pressure and persuasion,
and not allow themselves to be coerced
to letting their States vote as a unit.
Yet many of them now entertain no
faith in Bristow's nomination, saying
that after Blaine is disposed of, Morton
and Conkling will unite to stay Bris
tow, if in no other way than by giving
the nomination to Hayes. There was a
meeting of Bristow men to-day, Solicitor
Wilson"present as leading spirit. They
counted up to 160 votes, which they
claim certain for Bristow on the first
formal ballott.
Ohio men have grown to be very en
thusiastic for Hayes. They had two
meetings this afternoon and evening, at
which reports were made by prominent
members of delegation who have been
in conference with other delegates, go
ing to show that there is a general feel
ing of confidence in the ultimate nomi
nation of Governor Hayes as a compro-
mise.
It was stated at the meeting that
with Blaine out of the way, a majority
of the Missouri delegation would go
over to nays, and the remainder to
Morton. Prominent Massachusetts del
egates, it was also said, have assured
Ohio delegates that all they desired was
that Ohio stand firm on ballots, and
Massachusetts would finally come to
the support of Hayes.
The Ilartranft Club of Philadelphia,
12a in number, arrived this evening ac-
companied by a band and marched to
the Burnett House. The members are
uniformed in black cloth suits and
white dress hats. Among the more
prominent in the party are Colonel W.
B. Mann, W. R. Leeds, General H. H.
Bingham, Postmaster Fairman, Mayor
Stokely and Gideon Clarke.

Washington, June 11.—Mr. Blaine,
with his wife, left his house about li
this morning and walked slowly to the
Congregational Church, about three-
quarters of a mile. As they reached
the church, he complained of pain in
his li^ad and dizziness. He was assisted
to a seat on the steps, where he exclaim-
ed, "Oh, this pain," and became uncon-
scious. He was taken home and Drs.
Barnes, Cox, Bliss, Verdi and Pope were
summoned. Cups to the spine and other
counter irritants were applied. He
remained unconscious until 4 o'clock,
when his mind was partially restored.
It was sun or heat stroke that prostra-
ted Mr. Blaine. At last accounts he
was gradually changing for the better
with favorable symptoms.
Dr. Pope, in a diagnosis just issued,
says, Mr. Blaine's case is one of simple
cerebral depression, produced by great
mental strain; and secondly, by the ac-
tion of excessive beat. There is no apo-
plectic congestion or effusion, nor any
symptoms of paralysis. He has free
use of his limbs. The pupils of the
eyes are normal and he recognizes his
family. He lies quiet, breathes natu-
rally and is disposed to sleep. Has re-
sponded excellently to treatment. I
have every reason to anticipate a speedy
and complete recovery. Signed by W.
Pope, M. D.
Washington, June 12.—Proceedings
regarding Blaine, both in the House
and committee, were postponed on ac-
count of his sickness.
The House is very thin, the Republi-
can benches bein^ nearly all vacant.
At 10 o'clock Mr. Blaine was still im-
proving and had freely taken nourish-
ment. The doctors say he will recover
and be as strong as ever.
Ropes are extended across the streets
leading to his residence to prevent his
being disturbed by the noise of passing
vehicles, and men are stationed at the
door, who deny admission to all per-
sons.
Later—Hourly bulletins are issued.
Blaine continues to improve. His ap-
petite is good.
Observations.
St. Augustine's Church (colored). Ca-
tholic, was dedicated yesterday. Arch-

the ceremonies. Sixteen acolytes (all
colored) attended within the sanctuary.
The 10th of September was fixed for
trial of the safe burglary conspirators.
Mr. Kerr received visitors to-day and
ale a hearty dinner.
Geo. Dennison publishes details of an
interview, Saturday night, sought by
Bristow with Blaine, for the purpose of
disavowing that Bristow had instigated
the investigations. Blaine disavowed
having entertained a belief to this ef-
fect.

Washington, June 12.—The Army

A joint resolution proposing to mod-
ify the treaty with China, giving each
government reciprocally control of im-
migration, except for commercial pur-
suits, was adopted.
Mr. Clymer, of Pennsylvania, from
the Committee on Expenditures in the
War Department, made report in tbe
case of the charge against Speaker
Kerr. The report states that, after a
full inquiry into the facts and after
thorough "examination of Lawrence
Harney, the only witness making the
charges, and of A. P. Greene and di-
vers other witnesses, it appeared that
in 1866 while a member of the House
of Representatives of the 39th Con-
gress, Mr. Kerr did, in the exercise of
his right or privilege, nominate Green
for an appointment in the regular
army.
The committee, however, had found
no difficulty in reaching the conclusion
that the charge as to" the payment of
money to Mr. Kerr was unqualifiedly
false, and that Mr. Kerr stood fully ex-
onerated from all implication affecting
his personal honor or official integrity.
The committee had found nothing in
the whole progress of the investigation
to imply or detract from the well-estab
lished reputation of Mr. Kerr for un-
questioned personal integrity and unsul
lied purity.
Mr. Clymer remarked that this con
elusion was the unanimous judgineut
not only of the committee, but of the
House and the country.
Mr. Danforth, of Ohio, a Republican
member of the committee, said that it af
forded him real pleasure to be able to
subscribe tothe report, not because of the
unfortunate Mr. Kerr, but because it
was an act of simple justice to that
gentleman. He spoke of the unfor-
tunate circumstance which presented at
tlie threshliold of the inquiry as to
Kerr, a Democrat of Indiana, giving
the nomination to Greene, a Republi-
can, and said, had it not been for that cir
cumstance the committee would not
have deemed it worth while to even
open it. He was happy to say, how-
ever, that he had an idea that so far as
the corruption of Mr. Kefr was con-
cerned, there was not a single scintilla
of truth in Harney's story. It was a
falsehood, taken advantage of by a bad
man for the purpose of attempting to
blacken the reputation of a good man.
[Applause.]
He spoke of these investigations,
used by bad men like Harney, as being
the very worst instruments that can be
used. This testimony of Harney was
but the natural outgrowth of these in-
vestigations. Committees ofltoc House
had been seen this session mousing
around and dragging the public life
and private correspondence of citizens
into publicity, publishing even the bank
accounts of officials without charges
and without specifications.
Mr. Danforth continued at great
length, and concluded: "I am glad
here to be able, from the heart, to say
that whatever shadow this momentary
imputation might have cast on the days
of the distinguished gentjeinan, the
Speaker of the House, days which some
of us fear are numbered already, it is
the unanimous voice of the people
through their representatives that the
aegis of a long and honorable life has
protected him from the envenomed
shaft of malice; that the cloud is re-
moved, and that if his sun goes down, it
shall go down in full honor in the es-
teem "of honorable men of whatever
party." [Applause on both sides of the
House.]
Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, suggested that
the vote on the report should be taken
by the members rising.
The suggestion was adopted, and all
the members (210) arose in the afilrma-
tive—none in negative.
Mr. Garfield then asked that it be en-
tered on the record that the report was
adopted unanimously.
The Speaker pro tem. directed tlie
clerk to let it be recorded on the record
as the unanimous voice of the House.
Mr. Leavenworth suggested, as high-
ly proper, that the House should fur-
nish to Mr. Kerr, in the most formal
manner, a certified copy of the proceed-
ings on this occasion, and he made a
motion to that effect.
The motion was agreed to, and the
clerk instructed accordingly.

TRAIN-WRECKING.
Vigorous Prosecutions for this
Crime 011 the International Hail-
road—Kecent Arrests.
Special Telegram to the Galveston News.}
Palestine, June 11, 1S70.
Several obstructions at various times
have been placed on the track of the
International and Great Northern Rail-
road, between Elkhart and Palestine,
and Overton's and Kilgore's stations.
On April the 8th, train No. 1, (mail)
bound south, at a wood pile three miles
north of Elkhart, in the vicinity of a
house occupied by a man named John-
son, discovered wood on the track and
a party of men on the bank still pitch-
ing wood in front of the engine as it
was approaching. The train was stop-
ped, not, however, before striking the
wood, but without throwing the engine
from the track, or doing any particular
damage, owing to the slow speed.
Tlie men retired towards the house,
firing two or three shots as they
retreated. On arrival of the train at
Elkhart, the conductor in charge notified
the railroad officials at Palestine, who
at once called upon Sheriff Davis, and
he promptly responded, summoning a
posse, who were despatched to the
scene by a special train.
The train was stopped about half a
mile from the place and the officers
quiet!yr approached the house arousing
the inmates and arresting three men,
named Posten, Burnettt and Johnson,
who were brought to Palestine and ta-
ken before tlie Justice of the Peace,
who issued warrants for their detention.
They were then placed in jail.
Upon information furnished by the
prisoners, a man named Blue Syplius
was arrested in Tarrant county and
brought to Palestine and imprisoned
for having, at a previous time, placed a
cross-tie 011 the track, which was struck
and knocked off by the North-bound
mail train. Johnson turned State wit-
ness against Posten and Burnett, whose
trials have been set for Tuesday next.
Blue Syphus was tried on Friday
last, found guilty and sentenced to the
penitentiary for t wo years. It is thought
that Posten and Burnett will not get
off so lightly.
On March the 10th, the engine of a
mail train going south struck a bar of
railroad iron that had been placed across
the track, about midway between Kil-
gore and Overton. The case is being
worked up, and hopes are entertained
of soon having the villain in the
clutches of the law. Since tlie arrest
of the parties in question, not a single
obstruction has been found at any point
on the line, and with vigorous prosecu-
tions, it is safe to say that none will
occur in the future.
