SESATE.
Washington, February 15:h. — Voorhees
presented a petition from 1,100 settlers of
Washington Territory, praying for protection
in the titles to their Isnd in the controversy
between them and the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company.
The Senate resumed consideration cf the
bill to provide fir the issue of circulating
notes to national banks, and Plumb addressed
the Senate at some length. ..-"•'- ■',- '■
Plumb, at the close of his remarks, offered
an amendment, providing that when the cir
culation of any national bank shall he sur
rendered, the Secretary of the Treasury shall
issua an equivalent amount in treasury notes,
of the denominations now provided by law
for national bank notes, such treasury
notes to be deposited in the treasury,
and pail out as other moneys kept
for the dUcharge of the obligations of
the Government, including the duties on im
ports. They shall be legal tender between
national banks, aud for all debts due any na
tional bank ; shall be redeemab'e in coin, as
legal tender notes are now, and when received
into the Treasury shall be reissued, and when
mutil ited or worn shall be replaced, as now
provided by law for legal tender ; the coin in
the Treasury on the passage of the Act, for
the redemption of legal tender notes, to be
also applicable for the redemption of these
Treasury notes, and such coin reserve may,
from time to time, be increased in the discre
tion of the Secretary of the Treasury ; but
the total amount of such coin Bhall never be
less than 25 per cent., nor more than 30 per
cent., of tbe total amount of legal tender and
Treasury notes outstanding.
Jones of Florida characterized Plumb's
proposition as a movement to revolutionize
our whole system of finance.
A vote teas then taken on the amendment
heretofore submitted by Sherman, providing
that if any bonds deposited before the inter
est was higher than 3 per cent., additional
notes shall be issue 1 equal to one-half tbe in
terest in excess of 3 per cent,, accruing before
maturity. Rejected 7 ayes, 42 noes.
After an executive session, the Senate ad
journed until Monday.
HOUSE,
In the Manning-Chalmers contested elec
tion case the previous question was ordered
at 3:30. Then ex-Governor Curtin took the
floor for the purpose of withdrawing his reso
lution — previously offered for a recommit
tal. [The account ot the subsequent dramatic
scene is given iv another place. — Eds. Kec
obd-TJkion.]
The question recurred on substituting the
minority resolutions for those of the majority,
and a division of the resolutions being de
manded, a vote was taken on the first, de
claring that Manning holds perfect creden
tials. This was rejected — ayes 100, noes 140.
The announcement of the vote was received
with applause on the Republican side.
The second resolution, declaring Manning
en'itled to a eeit, was lost — iyei 92, noes 157.
The majority resolution was.hen adopted —
130 to 56 — to discharge the Committee of Elec
tions from ill ; prima facie case, and leaves
the seat vacant until the case ii decided on
its merits.
Adjourned until Monday.
Tlie Danville lio.l Investigation.
Washington, February loth. — The inves
tigation of the Danville election riots was re
sumed this morning. Edward M. Hatcher,
while danying that he assault .1 Jack Budd
on the day of the riot, says that he saw marks
of bullets on the buildings in rear of the whit?
people, which must have been fired by
negroes.
J. C. Regan (white) testified that he saw a
crowd c f angry negroes, and went to the bard
ware store and atked for a box ot cartridges.
He fold the clerk there was going to be a
knock-down fight. The clerk refused to give
them. The witness hunted for tnem, but
could not find any. He returned to the scene
of the riot and was armed with a pistol.
It. W. Glass (colored) said that heard a
pistol fired, rushed to the scene and found
twenty-five colored men and twenty-five white
men. The white men and policemen were
telling the negroes to leave. The negroes re
plied : "We are not doing anything ; why
should wo leave ':'' Ho hard Hatcher pay:
" T!.i j is a white man's town, and I am d
if we don't rule. You are all going to get
killed if yon don't leave." Then the white
men drew pistol.'. The witness name*?
Hatcher, Lee, Oarrington and Oliver, whom,
he said, had pistols. Lee give the orders to
fire, and they did fire. Then the colored men
began to leave. Tne whites came out of the
Opera House.
Question — " How many ':"
"It looked like three or four hundred.
They (the whites) went into a hardware store
an.l got pistols."
Witness said he saw pistols on 25 or 30 of
them, and a bag of cartridges in a real estate
office where he took refuge, and where the
white perple came in and supplied them
selves. hen all the negroes had left, the
witness heard the whites going about tne
streets, shouting : " Hurrah for we Demo
crats !" [Laughter.] Heard some whites
say, '' Kill every damned nigger we can see. 1 '
Heard Henry llarkesdale make a speech, in
which he said, " We intend to carry this elec
tion by fair means or foul," and heard him
say it was to be carried by "de point ob de
gun " At the time of the riot paw a white
man riding up with guns ; saw white men
running home after guns ; saw no colored
men.
George A. Lee (colored) saw several pistols
in the hands of colored people ; believe the
first volley was fired into a crowd of negroes,
but after the latter began to run a great
many shots were fired in the air ; caw some
eight or ten pistols among I ha negroes pointed
at IVylor and himself, the negroes demand
ing that they come out and show their face .
" If the whites had not used their pistols, we
would have all been shot into smithereens,
and cot only tha*. but our wives and sisters
would have been murdered in our houses,
sir ; murdered in our houses. I kaew this by
threats made two or three days before by
their leader.'
Senator Sherman — Did yon hear that
threat ?
Witness— l did not hear it.
Witness could not imagine how an excited
crowd of people could have shown as much
mercy as they (the whites) did. The general
remark was that it was the leaders who
ought to have been killed and not these poor
negroes. The direct cau-e of the excitement
was Simms' speech. The original cause was
the cold-blooded murder of one i f our " best
citizens" by our "Rjadjus-er brindle- tailed
Mayor/ Witness spent the better part of
the day in tha real estate office, here wit
cess Glass had seen arms and cartridges. It
was positively cot true that men went in
there and armed themselves ; was positive
that no arms were there. Witness feared for
the safety of the wives of the whites, because
of threats. He heard that on election day,
while tha white men were fighting the negroes
at the polls, the negroes would be murdering
the women in their homes.
Mathew P. Jordan (white) was called, and,
in reply to Senator Sherman, described the
riots. Witness was armed, but declined to
say whether he fired. He declined f.^r satis
factory reasons. Witness bought his pistol
three or fonr days before toe riot ; purchased
it for the protection of himself and family.
The negroes were turbulent and insolent.
John Stone (colored) said the colored peo
ple generally did not vote on election day.
He aiked a great many to vote, but they re
fused, saying they were not going to be
slaughtered. In reply to Senator Vance,
witness said he was not interfered with on
election day. One man said something vo
him, which he did not consider pleasant.
Senator Sherman asked him what it was.
Witness said a plank railing separated the
white from the colored voters as they went to
the ballot- box. A white man's dog ran under
the railing, and the white man remarked to
his dog, " Come back on this side. You are
not a nigger. Don't stay over there with
niggers."
Adjourned to Monday.
Comically Sensational Scene In the House.
Washisctos, Febrnary 15th. — Shortly
before the close of the debate this afternoon
in the Chalmers-Manning contested election
cases, whicii have occupied the time of the
House for tinea days, ex-Governor Curtir,
of Pennsylvania, unexpectedly became the
" heavy man" iv a dramatic scene. It had
just been arranged to close the debate in one
hour, aad ab>ut I o'clock Governor Curtin
obtained five minutes from Lam »r of Georgia,
who controlled the hour. The venerable
Pennsylvsni.tn, tskiog his place it: the centre
of tee ais'e on the Democrat!? side, tieg.a a
a lou i tone to reiterate the arguments made
by him in the case yesterday. He was evi
dently much excited, and the members
closed around him. He claimed that Man
ning had no light to decline to take his seat.
The people he represented conld not have
their rights invalidated by any conscientious
scruples which Manning might enter. of
the method of bis election, and no committee
of the House could constitutionally report
against his prima facie right to a
seat oa the certificate he had. Having
reached this point, Curtin suddenly
turned and said, " Where's General Man
ning ?'' That Individual, who is a dapper
little fellow, with a bunch of whiskers on his
chin, popped up from behind one of the
green screens, and trotted down the aisle.
Curtin took him by the hand, and leading
him before the Speaker's desk, shotvted,
" Now, Mr. Speaker, in the name of the
people of a great and loyal State, I demand
that General Manning be sworn in." Speaker
Carlisle and the House were taken completely
by surprise. The Republicans sprang up as
ona man, and members of both parties
tumbled over each other in getting to tin
cloakroom. General Manniug folded his
arms and looked comically defiant. Speaker
Carlisle, having recovered his equanimity,
declined to administer the oath, saying the
11 use was now considering Manning's right
to a seat, and be could not interfere. Loud
guffaws from the R:public*n side greeted
this ruling, and loud cries of "King down
the curtain," and "Turn on the brimstone."
Mr. Cortia and Manning retired, both being
considerably confussd. The Fennsyivanian,
however, directed universal attention to the
constitutional point he was making, and the
effect of the dramatic scene cid not wear off
for some time afterward.
The New Chinese IIU'.
Washington, February 15'h.— The Pacific
cjast members of the House appeared before
the House Committee on Foreign AffiirH
this morning to present arguments in behalf
of the new Chinese bill. Henley, Tully and
Buid were each heard. Hanley made the
principal argument, in which he referred
fully to the causes which had induced the
delegation to frame the bill propos;d and
press it upon Congress. Budd and Tully
also made short speeches. Nothing was said
in opposition, and the committee agreed to
continue the hearing till Thursday next.
Opposition lo the Administration.
Philadelphia, February 15tb. — The Timet"
Washington special pays: The administra
tion is no longer the commanding majority in
! the Senate. Senators Sherman and Logan
object very freely, especially concerning
Southern appointments coming op for con
firmation, It has never been so before, and
' persons familiar with the inside hist 'iy of
failing appointments, know how hard Arthur
has been struck. The administration strength
in the Senate does not exceed twelve.

i Mrs. Ibler's llrath-i'iirlhrr Details.
New York, February loth. Last March
Wilbur Haverstack was killed !;y George W.
Conkling, a brother of Mrs. Emma Uhler.
Haverstick was living with Mrs. Uhler, and
. was killed during a quatrel with Cockling in
, the former's rooms. Mrs. L'hier died here
I yesterday, and the following details of her
i death are given :
) The Sun says : About four months ago a
■ well-dressed man and woman applied to Fred
erick Porter, of No. 9 Forty first street, for
, apartments in Livingstone, at Thirty-first
. and Broadway. The woman said she was
, Mrs. Emma Haight, and that a gentleman
. with her was her brother. Sbe gave r.s a ref
-3 erence Mrs. Frances E. Got! She moved
; into the apartments on the top floor, and rs
; mained there until about one month ago,
when Porter asked her to leave the house.
I Mr. Porter said yesterday : "I had learned
1 from my housekeeper, who I believed Hi»
--3 covered tbe fact from something in Mrs.
i Haight's room, that her name was not
. Haight, but that she was Mrs. Uhler, of the
i Vienna fl its tragedy. 1 had to consider my
: other tenants, and requested her to leave. She
- had bean toward the last very much dis
t tressed fir means, and irregular in the pay
> ment of her rent. Her brother west away
' after getting her settled in her apartments. I
, think she told me he went to Texas. As she
) became short of money she told me apologet
i ically that she was dependent on her brother,
> and that he had become very irregular in his
remittances, and finally had failed altogether
to remit to her."
On the day Mrs. Uhler left Livingstone
j she secured a room in th% house of Mme.
Adele Hoorix, No. 53 West Twenty-eighth
f street. She pail a small sum of money, but
3 soon fell in arrears, and Friday she went
• away, beicg told by her landlady that she
- must pay $5 or her trunk would be (held
i for the bill. She went away, leaving her
! trunk, and did cot return or leave auy ad
• dress, -! - .
THE STORY OK HEB DEATH.
On the day Mrs. Übler left Mma. orix'.'
she applied at Mrs. Adams' house. Most of
Mrs. Adaiu-,' boarders are theatric *l p-ople.
" She came to me," Mrs Adams said yester
day, " and said she remembered me when I
was givine exhibitions as ' Ttie Water Q teen 1
in Sin Francisco. She told ice that she was
the lady whose brother shot a gentleman on
her account io the Vienna Hies last March.
'My brother probably did it for my own
good.' she said, ' but if court e I haite him fur
it. He took me away with him, but I ciuld
not stand it.' She eaid she had ibien. living
at 53 West Twecty-cight street: that her
trunk was there. She afterwards sent a mes
senger boy to that address two or three times.
She said she wanted a room, but wanted it
very secret, as she was interested in a divorce
suit and wished to keep retired. She was .very
pleasant iv her manner, bnt I was afraid cf
her, because just such a smooth-spoken
lady had recently swindled me. She
said she wanted a room with afire. 'I told
her it would cost SO per week. Sin said she
couldn't pay so much and went away, anit^e
turned the same evening and a kid how muoh
I would charge for a room without a fire. ' V
told ber eight dollars, and she tools the room,
saying she thought she could get along with
out a tire. Oo Wednesday evening Maggie
noticed that her gas was not lighted, acd
went and offered to light it for her. 'Oh,
no,' she slid, ' I must not go to dinner.' and
looked so Strange that Maggie was frightened.
'Have you no friends.no one to seed for?"
Maggie asked. 'Please leave th? room,' she
answered. 'When I want you I will seed
for you. Ring the bill for dinner and go.'
Maggie came and 'Id me she thought the
woman was dying. I went in at 9:30 o'clock
and I would not have known that it was the
same woman that cam- to my house. She
appeared like a living skeleton. 'My graci
ous 1' I said, ' I didn't think you were so ill.'
She answered me rationally. I sect out for
Dr. E. D. Page and tM him the circum
stances. He said she hal taken poison. All
the time she was hero she never once sent
out for food. She seemed to have pawned or
sold all her underclothing. She had only
what she was carried out of the house in."
Mormon Proselytes.
Atlanta (Ga.), February loth.— A party
of ten Mormons, five of whom were girls,
under the charge of Elder Davidson, passed
throngh here from Cleveland county, X. C,
for Utah yesterday.
Chattanooga (Term.}, February I.lth.— A
special carload of Mormon emigrants in
charge of Elder Roberts, left here to-day for
Utah and Colorado. 'Die converts began to
arrive on the early mincing train, acd con
tinued coming in small parties all day.
Many Tenceseee families are among them.
New York, Februiry loth.— Timet
Charlotte, N. C, special, noticing the exodus
of so called Mormons from that section, ex
plains the situation thus : In many counties
En North and Snath Carolina and Georgia
there has been, ever jdsce the war, a strong
desire to emigrate ; to fact, before the war,
these people were constantly pushing west
ward into Alabama, Arkansas and Texas,
forever dreaming cr* toe fertility of the Far
West. There i< scarcely a family which has
not representative branches in some of thwe
St it*..:. The Mermen preachers take advan
tage of this feeling and go among the people
more as emigration agents than as emissaries
of the new religion. The fertility of Utah,
the beauties if the co-operative system, the
mutual aid which ibe I'i'J eh promises to its
members, are he. '! on*, white never a word is
■aid of polygamy, eier-pt to denounce rattle'
misrepresentation. ; .Taese people are induced
to emigrate rather than to change faith, and
it is only when under the thumb of the Conn
cil of Seventy that they real themselves to
be nt the serfs of the Mormon theocracy.

Cincinnati (Ohio), February 15. — At
3:40 this morning the tire alarm was sounded
for the b x at Ludlow and Pearl streets,
where the water surrounds the houses.
When the engines reached the place it was
discovered that the rear part of two brick
buildings oo the south sido of Pearl, near
Ludlow, hid fallen, aud that ten parsons
were buried in the ruins or drowned. The
occupants of the front part had given the
alarm. The firemen, in conjunction with the
police, with great efforts rescued the living
and the dead. The buildings were occupied
as a boarding house, and had twenty to thirty
occupants. The living were soon brought
out. Four members of a family named
Bur'tr, Mr. and Mrs. Coulter, Maude Ellis,
Lydia Ellis, Willie Kyle, and another, name
cot known, are supposed to be crushed to
death or drowned. Mrs. Weble, an occupant
of a room in the part that fell, was awakened
by the cracking walls, and tried to awaken
the others, but failed. She escaped without
injury. Ail iha rescusd women were con
veyed in a patrol wagon to the firs engine
house in the vicinity, where they were made
comfortable. Mrs. Kyle, whosa son was lost
in the ruins, is inconsolable. She imagines
her boy alive and struggling for his freedom.
Then she gave him up for lest, acd her agony
was heartrending.
Mrs. Weble, who occupied a room in the
part that fell, says she could cot sleep for
crackling of the walls. She thought first it
was the paper affected by the water, but
afterwards supposed it something worse. "I
got up at last," she said, " and awakened
Mary Colter, and told her we must get cut,
that something was going to happen. I went
to the door of the next room, where Maud
Ellis was sleeping, and tried to awaken her ;
then I called Mary Colter again to hurry.
She was sitting up in bed. I was near the
door. I felt the house giving. I could have
stepped through the door to the front part,
but I turned to get Mary. I could not see,
and I felt all around for her, and then we all
went down together. Ido not know how I
escaped, but 1 crawled out and screamed."
Tee accident has spread terror among the
occupants of similar old buildings in the
flooded districts. Many cf those who cau do
so are getting out to safer quarters.
A latter dispatch says : Toe following are
known to be killed either by falling timbers
or drowning : John W. Kyle (son of pro
prietor), Lillie Coulter, Maul Ellis, James
'■ >,'dcii, Barney Winkler, Mrs, Winkler,

SHAWSEETOWN AND VICINITY.
Shawneetown (111.), Februiry 15 :h. — The
river rose six inches during the past six hnnrs.
The telegraph cffice was invaded, acd com
munication cut off for several hours. The
instruments were removed to the second story
of a neighboring building, and no simiiir
trouble is again anticipated unless tbe poles
wash away. One house was can from its
foundation this morning, and Heated off.
Several foundations have given away, ths
houses leaning and likely to fall at any mo
ment. Should a wind rise, great damage of
this character will follow. There is increas
ing distress in th 9 hills back of town, where
many citizens are encamped. The colony is
well provisioned, but fuel is scarce, aod there
are several cases of serious sickness. All bus
iness is entirely suspended, and must remain
so for several day?. The same is true of Ca
seyville. Weston, Cave in Keck and two or
three otber points below here, Shawneetown
is entirely submerged to an avenge depth of
eight feet, with the river steadily rising. The
town has a population of 2,000, cot over a
quarter cf whom, it is estimated, remain.
Three and a half miles distant, at lijwles
ville, the coal mines have been shut down for
some time, and the houses formerly occupied
by the miners are now used by fljod fugi
tives. In the same neighborhood many are
living in ten's furnished by the Governor of
Illinois. Among these latter there is much
suffarir.g on account of the cold weather.
Several cajes of extreme distress are reported,
but as yet no deaths.
LATER FROM SHAWNEETOWN.
Shawneetown (III ), February loth. —
river is ri-ing rapidly. The town is bow
under water to a depth of from 10 to 30 feet.
In many p'aees the water has reached the
tip of th.' windows in the second stories. In
some cases only the chimneys and roofs mark
the location of the buildings. The hills sur
rounding the town are dotted with tents,
occupied by families driven from tbei.' homes
by the 1100 t. and in some cases there is un
doubted suffering. In a visit made by the
Associated Press reporter, several thinly-clad
an 1 barefooted children were Eeen shivering
.-I. rut the tents. Many mote families went
to the hills to-day, aod more will likely fol
low to-morrow. Several houses have been
carried from their foundation- , but the em
bankments about the city have kept them
from floating away as yet. No loss of lives
is reported, though there have been eeveral
narrow escapes. There has been great trouble
in maintaining telegraphic communication
with the outside world, aud frequent repairs
during the day have been necessary. Many
poles have been washed away, and the water
is so high on others that the wins have to bo
removed to trees and house tops. This
trouble is likely to increase as the river rises.
STRANGE AND SAD SIGHT.
■Teffersonville (led.), Fehruary 15th, —
Jeffersocville presents a strange and sad
sight by moonlight, with the mad waters of
the Oaio rushing with wonderful force
through the streets, almost equal in velocity
to the current in the middle of the river, and
the waves lashing the houses and a great
many of them toppling over. The scene is
beyond description. Very often cries of peo
ple calling for boats would be heard. There
is a feeling of despair among all citizens.
Ahout nicety-cine one-hundredths of the city
is under water.
WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE.
Cincinnati, February loth.— The Com
trurcial Gazette's steamer Kate Waters re
turned to-night from a trip up the river as
far as Maysville. This is the only boat up
the river since the flood, and her progress
was exceedingly slow. The men on the
steamer report co bottom lands in sight from
here to Maysville, the river actually extend
ing from hill to hill. This means a vast less
to farmers, details of which cannot be known
till the water subsides. Maysville is in good
condition, because such a large portion is out
of water, but Chester, a village at the eastern
part of Maysville, is actually suffering for fuel,
light) and food. The people there are very
modest in their requests. They ask no deli
cacies or luxuries, only tue id and meat.

Fulton ( irk ) February loth.— The river
has risen a foot in the 21 hours ending at 11
to-night. It is still rising and the whole

The Quality Thai Wins. — In one
of his stories Anthony Trollope makes
a common farm laborer encourage his
clergyman, who at that time is in very
trying circumstances, by saying: "Par-,
son, it's dogged as does it !" Hold on is
his idea ; see tbe thing through to the
end ; endure to the very last. There is no
lit 1 : philosophy in the peasant's blunt ex
pression. There is hardly any quality so
essential to real success as the ability to
hold on. We all know men who are
gifted ; their knowledge of their genius
surprises and delights us. Bat they never
make much of a success in life, simply be
cause they do not hold on. They bave no
"staying power." Sanguine in their ex
pectations, a little difficulty casts them
down, and they give over their efforts.
Men of not a tithe of their real ability
will push their way to success by sheer
force of dogged determination.
Aniline Colors r.v a New Process —
Aniline colors obtained by means of tbe
electro-chemical process announced some
time since by a Swiss chemist, have, it
seems, passed a satisfactory examination
by Paris experts, and the method of pro
duction is believed to present some practi
cal advantiges which may lead to Its in
troduction. The process rests ohitfly on
the decomposition of water, whicb, under
the action of an electric current, gives free
atoms of oxygen at the positive pole, and
free atoms of hydrogen at the negative
pole. The oxygen acts on substances such
as aniline, toludine, etc., which, by oxida
tion or dehydrogenation, aro changed into
coloring ' matters. Experiments hitherto
made in this direction have not given re
sults commercially valuable ; nor is the
cost of the new process stated.— [N. Y.
