CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Senate.
Washington, April 22. —A number of peti
tions were introduced and referred, among
them one from veterans of the war of 1812,
asking that General .Shields be placed on the
retired list.
Various matters of new business were in
troduced aud referred, a resolution by Sen
ator Blaine declaring it inexpedient at the.
present time to change the tariff law
being among the number. An amendment
providing for a commission to inquire iuto
the subject of tariff and report at the next
session of Congress was offered.
Without coming to a rote on any matter,
the Senate, after a short executive session,
adjourned.
The House.
Washington, April 22.—The Speaker an
nounced that the first business in order was
the consideration of the unfinished business
of last Monday, which was the motion of
Mr. Mills of Texas, to refer the resolutions
of the Maryland Legislature to the com
mittee of the whole. The latter motion was
rejected aud the resolutious were theu re
ferred to the committee on the judiciary.
The Speaker then resumed the call of
states for bills for reference, continuing
from the state of Maryland, and a large
number were introduced.
The regular order v/as demanded, and the
Speaker announced that to be the considera
tion of Ihe bill heretofore offered by Mr.
Butler, providing for the issue of greenbacks
of the denominations of sl, $2, $3 aud $5,
aud also for the issue of postal currency, aud
upon which a motion was pending to sus
pend the rules.
Several members inquired whether that
bill had ever been before a committee.
Mr. Butler said the banking and currency
committee had considered it and had agreed
to report upon it favorably.
Mr. Cox of New York said the bill pro
posed to bring back the old postal currency,
aud it should be maturely considered.
The regulat order was insisted upon, and
the bill was then defeated by a vote of 121
yeas to 124 nays.
Mr. Reagan of Texas moved to suspend
the rules and take up and pass the river and
harbor appropriation bill.
Mr. Cox of New York raised the point of
order that the clause in the Constitution
which authorized Congress to regulate com
merce did not empower it to pass such a bill
as this. Besides, it appropriated $7,000,000,
and should be first considered in committee
of the whole.
The Speaker said a majority of the House
had a right to determine the matter.
Mr. Cox insisted upon being heard.
Mr. Keuua of West Virginia called him to
order and demanded the regular order.
Mr. Cox demanded the reading of the bill
in full.
The bill having been read through, Mr.
Cox agaiu rose to a poiut of order and said
that under the Constitution which author
ized Congress to regulate commerce between
the stales there was no authority to regulate
it between Congressional districts.
The Speaker said that was a question for
each member to determine for himself.
Mr. Reagan aud Mr. Kenna objected to
debate.
« Mr. Cox persisted in being heard on the
point that the bill was unconstitutional.
The House resounded with calls to or
der.
Mr. Southard of Ohio wanted to make a
poiut of order that the amount of appropria
tion was refused to ba stated. [Calls of
"Order.”]
The Speaker said that the rule prevailed
only as to regular appropriation bills.
Mr. Reynolds said the bill did uot state
the amouut.
Mr. Rice of Ohio moved to adjourn, and
upon this the yeas aud nays were ordered.
The motion was rejected, yeas 33, nays 2U7.
Alter protests amid cries of order against
the passage of the bill by Messrs. Mitchell
of Pennsylvania and fox of New York, the
questiou was put and the bill was passed, by
a vote of 167 yeas to 66 nays.
After the result had been announced Mr.
Cox of New York rose and said he had a
protest signed by a large number of mem
bers protesting against the passage of the
bill, and he desired to have it read.
Mr. Hooker of Mississippi aud Mr. Harris
of Virgin.a moved to adjourn, while
demauds for the regular order resouuded
through the ball.
Mr. Mills of Texas—Do the rules permit a
minority of this House to protest formally
against tbe action of the majority?
The Speaker replied there was a precedent,
a notable case which occurred iu the Thirty
ninth Congress, when tbe Democratic side
had a protest entered agaiust the act of the
majority.
At this point there was much confusion
in the ball. Members were gathering about
tbe Speaker’s desk, aud a score or more of
gentlemen were loudly appealing to be
heard.
Mr. Burchard of Illinois—Will this protest
have any more effect than a negative vote ?
The Speaker—lt will uot.
Several members inquired if if would not
require unanimous consent to introduce tbe
protest.
Tbe Speaker thought not. The gentlemen
could have the pa- cr as well as ibo prece
dent set in the Thirty-ninth Congress as a
part of bis remarks.
Mr. Garfield rose to a higher questiou of
privilege, and moved that the House ad
journ.
The Speaker—The gentleman from Now
York has the floor aud declines to yield for
that puipose.
Mr. Cox—l ask that the paper be read.
Mr. Mills of Texas—And I object. I
want to kuow if it is a questiou of privilege
for tbe minority of this House to protest
agaiust tbe action of the majority.
The confusion on the lioor was revived,
and the Speaker had difficulty in preserving
order. The Speaker said the gentleman bad
risen to a question of privilege and sent up
the paper to be read. He could not deter
mine whether it was a question of privilege
or uot until it was read.
Mr. Garfield suggested that it was tbe
duty of tbe chair to inspect tbe paper to
determine whether it was a question of
privilege.
Mr. Reagan rose to a question of order,
wbeu the gentleman from New York was
recognized. He said ha rose to present a
protest agaiust tbo action of the House.
That protest could uot be received aud it
could not now be converted iuto a questiou
of privilege.
Tbe Speaker said tbe gentleman from
New York rose to a question of privilege,
and he sent up a paper which he desired to
have read. There was a precedent for Ibis
iu the Thirty-ninth Congress, when Mr.
Brooks of New York entered on tbe journal
a protest signed by alt the Democratic mem
bers protesting against the way iu which the
clerk bad made up tbe roll. [Cries of
“Read! lead! read!”]
Mr. Gaifield said that tbe case refeireil to
was uot a precedent, for the protest was
IbeD allowed to go on tbe journal by unan
imous consent.
Mr. Butler—The questiou of privilege
could uot prevent a molten to adjourn.
Thu Speaker said tbo gentleman from New
York has the floor aud declined to yield for
that purpose.
nMr. Butler said if that were tbe case a
member might keep tbe House here all night
ou a questiou of privilege.
Half a ilozeu members were protesting at
ouce that tbe protest could uot be received
except by uuaulmous consent, while others
were protesting that Mr. Cox was on the
floor on a question of privilege.
Mr. Reagan appealed from the decision of
tbe chair.
Mr. Butler—And pending that appeal I
move that the House adjourn.
Tbi9 turn of affairs created commotion
and excitement anew, and while tbe regular
order was demanded from all parts ot tbo
hall Mr. Springer protested that tbe motion
was not in order, pending an appeal.
Tbe Sneaker said the chair had ruled that
the genliemau from New York had a right
to have the paper read and from the ruling
tbe gentleman from Texas, Mr. Reagau, had
appealed.
Mr. Reagan wanted tbe question stated
p-operly. The gentleman from New York
stated when he arose that he bad sent up a
protest and he (Mr. Reagan) objected to its
now being changed to a question of priv
ilege.
Here there were demands for tbe regular
order aud for a vote ou Mr. Butler’s motion
to adjourn.
Mr. Beebe argued that as Mr. Cox had tbe
floor on a question of privilege, Mr. Reagan
could not appeal from a decision of tbe
Chair in order to enable Mr. Butler to move
an adjournment,
The Speaker decided that motion in order,
but hoped the gentleman from Massachu
setts would not insist upon it, but would let
a vote be taken on tbe appeal.
Mr. Butler insisted upon his motion aud
there were loud demands for the regular
order.
The Speaker put the question and decided
that tbe noes bad it.
Mr. Butler —Ob, no; we have a division.
As tbe House was about to divide Mr.
Durham appeared upon tbe scene aud de
sired to present a conference report, but was
met with yells of “Too late I Too late!”
On a division there were 120 yeas to 77
nays. Tellers were demanded and Messrs.
Bullar aud Cox were appointed and they re
ported yeas 124, nays 81.
The yeas aud nays were theu demanded,
and the House, by a vote of 119 yeas and 101
nays, at 4:35 p. in. adjourned.
THE CIKCLIT BKDKEN.
Death of William Orion, President of the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
Sketch of His Life.
New York, April 22. —William Orton,
president of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, and one of the leading business
men of the country, died of apoplexy at his
residence in this city at 7 o’clock this morn
ing. The announcement created the utmost
surprise throughout the city, aud especially
iu Wall street. At first many refused to be
lieve tbe news, thinking tbit it was a rumor
gotten up to affect the stock market. When
the flag on the Western Union building was
displayed at half mast it was apparent that
the intelligence was but too true. Yesterday
raorniug Mr. Orton arose shortly after
fle’clock.aud in conversation with bis family
expressed himself as greatly refreshed. He
appeared unusually lively and vivacious.
Alter breakfast he read tbe morning news
papers, chatting pieasautly with bis sons
and daughters, and shortly before 11 o’clock
repaired 10 bis dressing room to prepare to
attend morning service at the Church of the
Holy Apostles, of which he bad been for
several years a vestryman. During the ser
vice he and his wife partook of tbe holy
sacrament. In the afternoon he took a
snort drive, and returned to his home. He
partook heartily of the evening repast, bat
at 9 o’clock complained of a sharp pain in
tbe head, which, however, did uot alarm
either himself or family, and he retired
for the night. An hour later, at 11
o’clock, Mrs. Orton noticed that
he breathed heavily and asked him if
he felt worse. He made no reply. Thor
oughly alarmed at his condition, she notified
tbe rest of the family, who were soon at his
bedside. Dr. Bauer was at once sent for,
and upon feeling Mr. Orton’s pulse and ex
amining his head, said that he had been
stricken with apoplexy. The usual reme
dies were applied, but without avail, tbe
stricken man never rallying or giviug signs
of consciousness. At midnight Dr. Belcher
arrived at his bedside, aud a consultation
regarding his condition was held. Tbe
strongest remedies known were resorted to,
but with no perceptible result, and it then
became apparent that bis case was hopeless.
Colonel Berdan, a near neighbor of Mr. Or
ion, aud Dr. Green, vice president of the
Western Uuiou Company, arrived later aud
remained until 7 o’clock this morning, tbe
hour of bis dissolution. Mrs. Orton aud
her children were present when he died.
Mr. Orton was born iu the town of Cuba,
Alleghany county, New York, June 14,
1826, aud wa9 therefore at the time of his
death in his 52d year. When a young man,
he learned the printer's trade, and for some
years worked at the case on one of the vil
lage weeklies. His leisure moments, how
ever, were devoted to mastering the common
branches of an English education, in
which he was successful. It is related
by the Journal of the Telegragh,
that Mr. Orton’s first thesis was ou tbe
magnetic telegraph, and was illustrated by a
model constructed by bis . own hand. This
model is cow numbered among tbe curiosi
ties of tbo department of education in Al
bany, lie was connected with the book trade
from 1845 up to tbe beginning of the civil
war, tbe firm name being Miller, Orton <k
Mulligan, and publishing houses being iu
New York aud Auburn. He also became
a member of a prominent publishing bouse
of this city, but was eventually overtaken
by reverses. Iu 1862 he was appointed by
Secretary McCulloch, deputy collector of
internal revenue for the sixth collecliou dis
trict of this city. His executive ability was
severely taxed by the arduous duties imposed
on him, but he proved himself equal
to all that was required of him, aud was
so acceptable to the Treasury Department
that in 1865 he was appointed Commissioner
of Internal Revenue at Wasbingtou. Hu re -
tained this important posiliou but a few
months, resigning during the same year.
Secretary McCullock wrote him a very flat
tering letter ou the occasion of Ids with
drawal. Iu the same year Mr. Orton ac
cepted tbe presidency of the United States
Telegraph Company, which a few mouths
later was consolidated with the Western
Union Telegraph Compauy, Mr. Orton be
ing choseu vice-president. Two years later
be was elected president of tbis corporation,
aud its present prosperity and collosal pro
portions aro mainly due to bis far sighted
policy aud superior business qualification,
iu addition to overseeing aud managing ib«
affairs of tbis company be wa9 also president
of tbo International Ocean Teiegrspb Com
pauy, Cuban line, Gold aud Stock Telegraph
Compauy, Tactile aud Atlantic and South
ern and Atlantic Telegraph Companies.
Orton was a member of the Union League
Ciub, the Board of Trade and the Chamber
of Commerce, besides holding official posi
tions in several other companies. He mar
ried Miss Agnes J. Gillespie In the town of
Geneva, this elate, aud leaves eight childreu,
four boys and four girls. His fortune is es
timated at $2,060,600. His remains will he
interred in the family plot in Sleepy Hollow
Cemetery, Tarrytowu. Tho date of the
funeral has not yet been definitely decided.
Mr. Orton was also recently elected director
of Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company., and held a policy iu
that company on bis life for
$20,000 for tbe benefit of bis family.
It was rpmored tbis evenlug that Mr.
Twombly, Mr. Vanderbilt’s son-in-law,
would probably succeed to tbe presidency of
the Western Union Telegraph Compauy,
also that Dr. Green, first vice-president, will
bn chosen, and that General Stager of
Chicago will be select d. The rumor that
seems to have most credence, however, la
that ex-Goreruor Morgan will be selected as
president, with Geueral Eckert as general
manager, it is also said that Cornelius Van
derbilt, sou of William H., will be put at tbe
bead of tbe compauy.
TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 23, 1878.
AFFAIRS IN THE EAST.
The Prevailing Peeling of Ihe English
Press.
London, April 22. —Tbe prevailing feeling
in the English press is one of great uneasi
ness. Berlin specials lo tbe English papers
are all very despotident, aud dwell upon the
difficulties which will be encountered in set
tling upon any scheme for tbe withdrawal of
the fleet and troops from Constantinople. A
Vienna dispatch says the aspect of affairs is
neither better nor worse. The course of ne
gotiations makes it more apparent that Rus
sia meant to make any concession relative
to the Congress dependent on some arrange
ment as to the relative position of her own
aud the English forces. The fact that
the Russians did not reject the idea
of withdrawing to Adriauople and that
the negotiations had been pending on
that basis shows that they would set great
value on the withdrawal of the British fleet
beyond the Dardanelles. Still, as Besik a
Bay is only about twelve hours sail from
Stamboul, while Adriauople is three days
forced march distant, the Russians thought
they would he placed at a disadvantage un
less some arrangement was made by which,
iu the event of an outbreak of hostilities,
some priority of movement would be allowed
them. This seemed to raise the whole ques
tion of equivalent to be given by tbe Rus
sians for the withdrawal of tbe fleet. Nor
is it clear whether their claims have created
a stumbling block which cannot bo
surmounted. There are also indications of
other difficulties. Thus, even if the Con
gress meet, mouths may probably pass be
fore it solves all the questions before it,
and if the Turks, meanwhile,
evacuate various points in accord
ance with the treaty of San Stefano and
Russia proceeds to carry out the various
constitutional reforms proscribed thereiu,
the Cougress will every day be confronted by
some new accomplished fact. .But Russia is
not likely lo stay the execution of the treaty
till after the Congress, as that will be a direct
admission of the right of the powers to re
vise the treaty. The Austrian ambassador to
Germany has come to Vienna for a lew days.
Tbis is connected by some with reports of a
preliminary conference at Berlin. If such a
conference should be held, it would bs a test
whether it is safe to summon the Congress,
the failure of a prelimiuary conference not
being thought likely to involve such serious
consequences as the break up of the Con
gress. The latter eveut could hardly fail to
produce direct antagonism.
Significant News.
London,April 22. —English papers abound
in significant items concerning the prepara
tions, thus: It is understood that five batter
ies of royal artillery, now at Woolwich, have
been selected to proceed to Malta. The gun

stokers.
The Impel lance of the Negotiation*.
Berlin, April 22. —Not much importance
is attached to the present negotiations, as
long as Euglaud and Russia continue active
warlike pteparations.

DEATH IN A POLICE STATION.
A Drunken Kow and It* Results.
New York, April 22.—John S. Norlou,tbe
actor aud manager, died iu a police station
iu this city yesterday. Tbo facts indicate
that be was killed by a waller named Gogin.
Tbe two tueu were seen staggering along
Sixth avenue by Officer Keefe of tbe Tweu
ly-uiulh l’rcciuct. Both men beiug help
lessly druuk, Ketfe approached them. Nor
ton asked Keete to arrest Gogin fur wbip
plng him,aud said be would go to the station
and prefer a charge against him. Keefe took
Gugiu iuto custody, aud the three men went
to the statiou house. There Norton made a
charge of assault and battery against Gogin,
aud he was locked up. Nurtuu was so druuk
aud crazy himself that the sergeant feared it
would be uusafu to allow him to go, aud
cousequently had him locked up also on a
charge of lutoxicilioo. When Norton
made the charges against G.'gin he
could not specify any injury which Gogiu bad
Inflicted on him except some slight die
culuralioua around hit eye, where, he Bald,
Gogin had struck him. While in tbe cell
Norton was very boisterous, aud declaimed
constantly. He did not couiplalu of feeling
ill or of being hurt. The doorman passed
the cell and uoliced that he was quiet. He
looked iota tbe cell curiously ana saw the
actor lying with bis face on lifts floor. Tbe
doorman went in aud found he was dead.
Tho remains were then takou to the Morgue
to await the autopsy, I ,which will be made to
day. Gogiu was held to await the result of
the inquest. Norton’s mother accounts for
his death by saying be was afflicted with a
tumor, aud that be draulc excessively to al
lay bis sufferings. Iu tbe Ninth and Fif
teenth wards Norton has been well known
as a wreck who had forfeited a prosperous
career, and, at last, bad been compelled to
live by bis wits. During Ibo last year be
has assisted at a number of theatrical per
formances, but Las squandered bis money and
borrowed from his trienus ou various pre
tences. He came of a good old family, bis
father being a clergyman aud bis mother a
member of a well kuown Newport family.
