1- -I DIfiTY LINEN. HE PUBLIC AN WASH DAT IN THE NATIONAL HOUSE. Pig Iron Kelly Replies to Garfield and Washes Republican Dirty LinenA Scene Thoroughly Enjoyed by the Demo- cratsBrief Discussion of the Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation BillSav ing of Over $100,000 Provided for the Fat Plum of the Liverpool Consulate $1,S35,445 Wanted fjfcr DeficienciesNew Deal in the New Orleans Collector- shipGen. Dan. Sickles Smirched by the Mrfrurrahaii Claim Investigation. House of Representatives. WASHINGTON, March 9.Mr. Blackburn, presiding in the absence of Speaker Randall, and Mr. Foster, from the committee on ap propriations, reported a bill for an appropri ation of $1,533,445, deficiencies for the ser vice of the government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1878. Referred to the com mittee of the whole. A night session for debate only was order ed for Monday next. Mr. Kelly then replied to Mr. Garfield's speech of a few days ago. He explained the causes which prevented him replying to Mr. Garfield's first speech for over one hundred dayshis own serious illness, and the attempted assassination of his son, and he thought it hardly just in the gentleman to send to the country the idea that he, Kelly, had been one hundred days in preparing a reply to his speech. The imputation that his (Kelley's) speech was a manuscript speech was utterly with out foundation. In regard to his support of the resolution endorsing Secretary McCul loch's contraction policy, in December, 1865, he admitted he had made a grave mistake, and on the 3d of January following had raised his voice against contraction, and made the prediction with which he had opened his speech of the l."t of November, that if contraction were pursued the condi tion of affairs that is now upon the country would come. As to the bill demonetizing silver, he was (although chaiiman of the committee on comage) as ignorant of the demonetization of the silver dollar as Sena tors Blame and Vooihees,then members of the House. Garfield's allusion to his (Kellys) com munistic speech at Youngstown, Ohio, and his threat that labor would take capital by the throat, that statement was like Garfield's own statement, the creation of a distempeied and ill-governed imagination. As to the in terference of members of the Hou&e in favor of his renominatiou, he asserted that no man sat the House who had ever, to his knowledge, written such a letter. It there were, he asked him to say so. Mr. Foster made a movement as if to rise, Yes, said Mr. Kelly, one letter was written by my friend, Mr. Foster. We were most in timate, then, by reason of the proximity of our seats. I hud before him, and before my friend Mr. Danford, a good many letters re ceived in connection with efforts to nomi nate another man than myself. My friends, who wrote, seemed troubled that those who were seeking to oust me were representing that Governor Hayes desired my defeat tor having gone into Ohio, as they said, to elec tioneer for William Allen It was arianged that my friend, Mr. Foster, who lepresented in Congress the Republican candidate for President, should write a letter that would answer a double puipose. [A ripple of laughter started at the^e woids, and soon spread through the Democratic side, extend ing to the Republican side, Mr. KellyI pray you Mr. Speaker to bear mind that if duty linen is to be washed here to-day, I did not introduce the bundle, Laughter. Mr. Crittenden Let the washing go on. Mi. KellyMy filend Fo.stei wrote a let ter to the gentleman who I named, South worth, a confidential friend of my own, say ing he had no authority to speak foi Gov. Hayes, but that he was his congressional representative. [Laughter.] That he knew the kindly lelations between the governor and Kelly, and. that he had reason to believe and was fiee to say Governor Hayes desired the return of Kelly. [Laughter.] That letter was given me. I can recollect but one gentleman to whom it was shown, and that was the gentleman to whom it was ad dressed, who read it and, at my request. handed it back to me. Mr. Kelley described his relations with his constituents, who had elected him ever since 1360, who knew his faults and foibles, knew he would sometimes roll out the r'san inheritance probably trom his Irish ancestry, knew he had a will of his own and that when suffering trom dyspepsia was sometimes rude. Who. in fact, knew him in rem and who would be astonished to learn the influ ence that had been brought to bear on them to secure his election. As to the word "trick," it was a very offensive one to him, but if he were to use that word to designate anything he would apply it to the case of a member who in the House uses an offensive expression to a colleague and then, without that colleague's consent or knowl edge, tones them down in the record so he could not have them in full to reply to or perhaps to move to expunge. Mr. Foster said Mr. Kelly had stated cor rectly the substance of the letter he had re ferred to. He only rose to state the reasons he had for writing that letter. Mr. Kelly seemed annoyed at the effort making to pre vent his nomination, because it was alleged he had gone to Ohio, in 1875, and had stumped the State against Gov. Hayes* and they charged it would be disastrous to re nominate him as the Republican candidate in Pennsylvania. Mr. Kelly and himself had a good many talks about it and the conver sation he thought had extended to Mr. Gar field, certainly to Mr. Danford. The first suggestion was that he (Foster) should go to Philadelphia, on his way to New Yoik, and while there he was to be serenaded. (Great laughter.) His duties in Washington prevented his going and being serenaded [laughter] by a band of music, and being called out by the fire company to which Mr. Kelly had originally belonged. [Laughter.] However, he had always had and still had a high respect for the gentleman who had al ways been his friend here. He did not be lieve Gov. Hayes cared two cents whether Mr. Kelly were nominated or not, or that he would have felt unkindly if that gentleman were nominated. He (Foster) had desired Sunday to-see Mr. Kelly elected, and he had there fore written the letter, and he had been glad to learn from that gentleman, it had been of good service to him. [Laughter.] Mr. Kelly said he desired to throw a little light upon the question as to who wanted to be nominated. It was known to some peo ple that when the campaign had opened it had been thought desirable that a Repulican member of Congress, a greenbacker and con vertible bond man, who had been re-elected at the last election, should be sent to In diana, Ohio and certain sections of Penn sylvania where the greenback heresy, so called, was predominating. At the request of the State committees of those States he consented, as the Republican member of Congress favoring greenbacks, to go to Indiana, Ohio and the infected districts of Pennsylvania (laughter), but he denied he had excited riot and talked communism. Mr. Garfield disclaimed any reflection on Mr. Kelley growing out of the state of his health, and said it was only a little curious to him that the long illness, which usually brings gentleness, had not infused a little more of the spirit of gentleness into the two hours' personal attack on him. If he had misrepresented one word or thought of the gentleman he owed him an apology and would make it anywhere and at any time. He quoted from the remarks of Kelley on the bill to demonetize silver, showing that gen tleman did at the time know the purpose and effect of the bill, his words being Jinn Sickles bniirihrti. WASHINGTON, Maich 5).The Senate pub lic lands committee to-day. heard evidence regard to the McGariahau claim to property in California, known as the New Idria quick silver mine. Judge Jeremiah Wilson. E. C Ingersoll and Senator Carpenter appealed for McGarrahan. and Judge Jeremiah Black. David S. Willis, Iowa, and Chief Clerk of the Land Office Curtis for the New Idria company. Mr. Wilson said the defendant intended to show that e^ ery decision in favor of McGarrahan had been obtained by the use of money. After a discussion relative to the admission of evidence of this character, McGarrahan was asked if he had ever given stock based on his claim, to John Hickman, ex member of Congress from Pennsylvania. He replied he never had. Witness further said Daniel E. Sickles performed services for me, I did not agree to give him any compensa tion, but subsequently I gave him an interest in my claim. He would have acted for me if I had never given him a dime. Never gave James Wilson, ex-member of Congress, of Iowa, either stock or money. There was some talk between Sickles and myself about taking Edwin M. Stanton into our business. Sickles said he did not think it was necessary to have Stanton's aid. Stanton was not at torney general at that time. I ma.de no at tempt to buy up the attorney general's office. Mr. Wilson offered in evidence several letters from McGarrahan to Mr. Frank, sec retary of the Panoche Grande company, which he claimed would show McGarrahan and Sickles' attempts to operate upon Stan ton while attorney-general, for the purpose of securing his influence. One of them stat ed that he and his friends were willing to take Stanton into the same boat with them. The letters to Frank number over seven hun dred, and cover a correspondence of over ten years. Their reading was discontinued, and DEFECTIVE PAGE VOLUME I. ST. PAUL, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1878. (kIt has become impossible to retain the Aniencm silver dollar in this country except in collec tions of curiosities," To show that he had not drawn from his inner consciousness, as Mr. Kelly asserted, what he had said about that gentleman's communistic speeches in Ohio, he procured from the library and sent to the clerk's desk a volume of the Cincinnati Commercial, from which the clerk read a special dispatch describing the meeting at Youngstown. He (Garfield) submitted whether, on the state ments read and on similar statements in the Cleveland papeis, he was not justified in speaking of the gentleman's communistic speeches in Ohio. As to the gentleman's last campaign, he knew it was 'geneially understood that an expression in favor of the gentleman was solicited. He (Garfield) had been consulted on the subject, and if he had had the same faith in the restoration ot sound principles that the others had. he would have been glad to join in the efforts made by those gentlemen. The formal discussion was closed, and the House went into committee of the whole on the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, Mr. Cox of New York in the chair. The bill appropriates $1,030,935, a reduction of fl02,4 9 from the appropriation ot last year, and a reduction of $177,462 from the estimates of the state department. The salaries of ministers to Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia is fixed at $15,000. each Spain, Austria. Italy. Brazil, Mexico, Japan and China, at $10,000 each to Chili and Peru at $0,000 each to Sweden, Nor way, Turkey, Venezuela, Hawaiian islands, Argentine Republic and United States of Co lombia, %7.r0 each to Bolivia, $5,000 Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras. Salvador and Nicaragua, one minister, $10,000 Hayti. $5,000 Liberia. $2,500. Mr. Sengleton, a member of the committee on appropriations, explained that the com mittee had reduced the salaries of the four pr.ncipal/mmisteis abroad, fiom $17,000 to $15,000, an amount amply sufficient, con sidering the work to be done by them. He referred to the fact that the consul at Lon don received $2 a head for every American seaman shipped at that port and every dol lar ot that tax upon commerce was used at the consulate and not one was covered into the treasury. That was what made the position of consul so much sought aftei. Mr. Cox. Ohio, inquired whether the law did not require all such fees to be turned into the tieasuiy. Mr. Singleton leplied that it did not, Mr. Hewitt, New York, thought the gentle man tiom Mississippi was mistaken. All fees collected for shipping seamen were either paid into the treasury or accounted for in the accounts ot the consulate. Mr. Singleton continuing .said the appio pnation committer had endeavored on one hand to guaid against any letrenchment which might Impair the seivices, and on the othei to prevent unnecessaiy expenditure of public money. His own opinion was that the present system of seivice might be much simplified and that two oi thiee ministers stationed at some central points in Europe, with a competent corps of agents would answer every purpose. After a speech by Mr. Hubbell in favor of the extension,pf our foreign commeice the committee iose and the House adjourned. it was ordered they all be printed and go into the record. Judge Wilson said they were all of a general character, showing that money was paid, federal appointments se cured, and laws changed in the interest of McGarrahan's claim. Adjourned.

CHtYENEK, Wy., March 9.A storm, ex ceeding in violence and duration any pre vious storm of the season, set in at 11 p. m. the 8th, and continuing without abatement until noon to-day. the wind ranging in velocity from fifty to sixty-f ur miles per hour, carrying the snow with it and drifting in banks ten to fifteen feet high in the city. So far only one roof has given wav. It extended from Bitter Creek on the west to Julesburg on the east. A great number of the cuts are level full of snow and all trams on the Union Pacific. Denver & Paci fic and Coloiado Central aie either side tracked or suowed-iu. The plows sta tioned here have been shoveled out. and to-moirow morning it the storm, winch hah not wholly ceased does not in crease, they will be vigorously manipulated.

There is no reliable evi dence of any individuals having been lost in the snow in this vicinity, though there are many rumors to that eflect. No .communi cation noith whatever. Many freight out fits are now traveling, and probably the loss of stock will be great, if not of life. The Santillan Swindle. SAN FBANCISCO, March 9.Of the propo sition to reopen the Santillan claim the Chronicle this morning says: The Phila delphia land association never paid for the land. They bought stock on speculation. They did it with their eyes open, knowing the claim was a fraud and they ought not to profit by it. There cannot by any possibility be a single innocent purchaser, and to give the public lands away to such schemers as these stockholders are is trifling with the public interest. The government ought to relieve those whom it has wronged, and to be able to do so it ought to be very sure that the claimant has at least some equity in his case before it votes away its substance. Santillan has neither right nor equity and impudent beggars should be turned away. Sale of a Railroad. CHICAGO, March 9.Under order of the United States court issued by Judge Blod gett, Mr. Bishop, master in chancery, sold the Chicago & Iowa railroad to J. M.

After leaving the port two sfow-aways were found. They were placed-in irons on the main deck, and fas tened io a stanchion. About three in the morning, a deck trader, a Chilian, approached the prisoners and accused one of stealing cheese from his tent. The man protested his innocence, stating it was impossible, he being in irons. The trader insisted, and cut the man's throat, and after wards cut his head off and threw it overboard. The other passenger, who was bathed in blood, was helpless and too terrified to call assistance. The murderer then attempted to throw the body overboard, but funding it fast by the wrist, he cut round the wrist, broke the bone across hisjuiee and thus freeing the body, threw itfinto the water. The crime was discovered at day light. The murderer was handed over to the captain of the port. BAILKOAD BBIDOE BUBNTINOENDIABY. ELIZABETH, N. J., March 4.The long bridge at New Brunswick, on the line of the Pennsylmnia railway and spanning the Raritan river and the Delaware and liaritan canal, was burned this morning by an in cendiary. The company has been for some time constructing a substantial stone and iron bridge to take the place of the wooden structure now burned, and it will be pushed forward to completion as rapidly as dura bility and absolute safety will permit. Trains now stop a short distance from either end of the burned structure and passengers are transferred in coaches over the city bridge, a short distance below. One train passed over the bridge while burning. Samuel Carpen ter, the general eastern passenger agent, has gone to New Brunswick, and it is expected the present inconveniences will soon be remedied. PHILADELPHIA, March 9.The Pennsyl vania railroad officers state that the destruc tion of the bridge at New Brunswick by fire, this morning, will not interfere with the traffic of the road, as a temporary trestle will be at once put up and used till'the iron structure is completed.

Passengers will theretoie use the regular terminal stations of the Pennsylvania railroad as heretofore. There will be no interruption to freight business. The local trains will follow the regular route, making transfers at New Brunswick for the two or three days required to construct the temporary trestle. The new iron draw over the canal is being put in place to-day, and the rest of the work will be steadily prosecuted. BAILWAl OONDUCTOB KILLED.

THE AUSTRIA}* CREDIT. VIENNA, March 9.The statement ac companying the bill for the credit to be submitted to the delegation, says in the present position of affairs it is not impos sible the government will be obliged to take extraordinary measures for protection of the interests of the monarahy. In this case the government must be in condition to lower the expenses, and therefore ask for sixty million florins. It is not prepared to expend this in completing the equipment of the army, but it is intended to afford the govern ment to insure the monarchy against danger and surprise. ANDRASSX'S STATEMENT. VIENNA, March 9.Count Andrassy in the statement accompanying the bill for credit to the delegations says: It was quite nat ural that in the arrangements made during the campaign, political interests were driven to the back ground by military interests. Under such circumstances the interests of Europe and individual states cannot come out scathless. .Public opinion has gone from one extreme to another, but at the Congress, the situation may appear in a less disgusting aspect, ltussia has repeatedly declared she drew the sword not from selfish motives, but to improve the lot of Christians. We must demand such a umitation of the result of the war, whereby neither our own nor European interests will be ignored. We must provide the best possible solution, but not a mere postponement of the questions arising out of the relations of the powers. If the Russian arrangements relative to one half of Turkey, come into effect, what will be the prospect of the other half. To what extent can Turkey be reduced, and still retain a chance of continued existence. How guarantee the executions of reforms of such gigantic diffi culties, only Europe acting in concert can surmount. A single State seeking to settle them a its good pleasure must be in a posi tion to reckon with a European coalition which, however, Count Andrassy was careful to add, did not exist. .It was not to Russia's iiterest to make a saofrfice for things which 'do not contain within tfiBaselves guarantees of stability and to which Europe was bound to refuse recognition. Consequently it was justifiable to hope that the Congress would lead' to an agree ment. Austria enters the Congress to de fend Austria and Austrian and European in terests. Austria has reserved her whole strength for the moment of the conclusion of peace. She asks a money grant to safe guard her interests against any surprise not relying upon mere political arguments, when one power cornea fully armed on the scene. Out request is not an act of hostility against any power nor powers, nor a mere idle demonstration, but an act of precaution. LYONS PERHAPS. LONDON, March 9.It is rumored in clubs and political circles, but it cannot be said on how good grounds, that Lord Lyons is like ly to succeed Lord Derby as secretary of state for the foreign department, in case af fair^ between England and Russia again be come threatening. It is even regarded as not unlikely that the change may be made before the meeting of the congress, in which case England would be represented by her foreign minister. KIFITB DEJEVT.
