8LAN0ER REVIVED AND REPCTED?APPROPRIA
TIONS FOR THE CIVIL 8ERVICB.
The Bayard Marshals bill was passed by the
Senate yesterday by a strict party vote, after
its absurdities had been exposed by Senator
Edmunds, 'and an amendment offered by him
had been rejected. An ?*dd Blander against
Senator Blaine, which has been thoroughly re?
futed in the past, has been again revived for
campaign purposes. Thc bill which was intro?
duced in the House for the benefit of timber
thieves wns passed after amendment which
reudered it harmless. The Civil Service Ap?
propriations bill was reported to tho House.
K DEMOCRATIC MEASURE DISSECTED.
SOME OP THK ABSL'KIMTIF-S OF SKKATOR BAYARD'S
M Misti ALS RILL 6HOWN UP BY SENATOR
EXr.MI.KD8.
Int TELEGRAPH TO THE TniBFSF.I
Washington, May L'l.?Senator Ee.mun.ls sub?
jected tho Bayard Marshals bill to analysis tea-day.
It waa tho same process to which each of thc scries
of Democratic political measures has in turn been
subjected by him before its passage in the Senate.
The measure provides for the appointment of
deputy-marshals for election by the Judges of tho
Circuit Courts, tho officers to be of difieremt political
parties.
Ile pointed ont the absurdity of tbe assumption by
tbo Democrats that the peaco is to bo preserved by
placing the executive power on election days in
tho hands of opposing factions. Ile exhibited in
Hetail tho minor defects of the measure namely;
tho irresponsibility of thc marshals as appointed,
timi their exemption from control by any superior
authority; the absence of any limitation te> tho
terni of service, and the limitation of their jurisdic?
tion to ibeir own voting precincts, which would
prevent them from taking prisoners to Jail, if the
ail was in another precinct. Ho exposed the hicon
tustency of the Judiciary Commiitee in having, tint
long since, reported a measure taking from tho
Courts tho oower of appointing supervisors, and
placing it in the blinds of the Executive, while in
lespect to the deputy marshals the process was to
be exactly reversed. Thus officials whoso func?
tions aro genii judicial are, if these measures be?
come laws, to be appointed by tho Executive, while
executive officers am to receive their appointment
bom the Judiciary. Ollicinls whoso duly it is to
Inspect the ballots on behalf of thc respective politi?
cal parties from which they aro now appointed,
?ad SSC that each party has fair play, arc, if tho
President be so minded, all to bo selected from one
party; while tho officials upon whom dependence
is placed for thc protection of the voters wben ex?
ercising their right of franchise aro to be pilled
against eaeb oilier, and their Influence Hms
.rendered nugatory.
He replieel to tun argument of Senator Thurman
?hut this bill was designed to curtail thc extraordi?
nary and exeeasive powers of the donut v marshals.
He read fremi the statute's eif Dnwwara and
Ohio, showing that the powers of tho marshals in
.respect to National elections are exactly analogous
to those of constables and peace officers hi those t wo
States in Reference to State' elections.
lu conclusion, he proposed an amendment ele
eigned to nerfec. Ihe bill, and make* it sue b tba! ll
would really accomplish what its Democratic sup?
porters pretended to wish it to accouiplitdi.
The amendment was voted down, and the measure
waa passed by a strict party vote.
BLACKMAILING AND MUD THROWING.
AN OLD SLANTM.R AGAINST SENATOR BLAINE RE?
VIVED AND EXPOSED.
fllT TI'I.-iUIlAl-lt TO TUE TltlBCVEl
Washington. May 21.?Mr. James S. George, a
clerk lu the Census Bureau, wrote a letter a few
days ago to Mr. McLane, chairman of tho Houso
Committee on Railways, and at tho same time pave
out a copy of it for publication?saying timi he had
in Ids possession, or could obtain, documentary evi?
dence that a million dollars were spent corruptly In
Congress to secure tho passage of tho Texas Pacific
Railway bill, and that he had tho names of some
of Hie persons who rccciveel Ihis money, Sn lise
qne'iiily in iin Interview willi thc correspondent of
a Western newspaper Mr. George is represented lo
have intimated that .Senator Blaine was one ol
those whose- voto or iufiuenco bad beeu corruptly
obtained.
Major Francis S. Bond, vice-president of tho
Texas aud Pacific Railway Company, carno lo
Washington yesterday to meet these accusal ions,
aud in a conversation with a reporter of Ihe Wash?
ington Post, gave a complete history of what appears
to l>e a blackmailing scheme. Major lionel aaid
that Mr. George was only the agent of J. J, Newell,
wbo claims to have been connected with General
Johu C. Fremont, when that gentleman was wck
ing legislation in behalf of tho Memphis and El
Paso Company, and to have kept a diary of such
facts as tDen came.to his knowledge; among them
the corrupt transactions mentioned in Geogo's letter.
Somo time ago, Major Bonel says, Nowell wrote tho
following letter to a gentlemen whom ho supposed to
bo connected with the Texas and Pacific Railway
'"*"" *"""! _'l*o ..laced lt in the bands of the
M'l" ,
officers of that company :
B*. readme tbe annexed copy o! my diary, you will
learn tint I m.tv hold tbe memorandum tiercenv'tit tor
twenty-tive $1,000 booda, which 1 believe tnt. friend*, lu
Iciest, il in uie iiaiiciiliCBuf tbe road aboulel negotiate
for without turtuer dclav. I am willing to elis;.nat: of
tbi* claim on reasonable terms; but ll tbo oumpaBV fur?
ther delay, 1 sbull pnbDcb a copy of tbo enclosed libs
diary), uml reeort to such other proiceilmite. tue will bo
to their damage. Relieving your Inte-n-t in the- com
puny will K-urauteti your immediate atieuilnii. noni re*
?pectfuily yours, J. J. New.ll.
In a second lcttci received by the company a short
time after, Newell ottered to sell his diary for
$1.5,000, and on Tuesday, May ll, he called on
Major Bond at his office in Philadelphia, nnd de?
manded $20,000 for tho documents. Major Bond
refused to negotiate with him. anti he then induced
Goorgo to write the lotter to Air. McLane.
This story about the corrupt use of money In con?
nection wita tho Memphis aud El Faso legi.lntiou is
not new It was circulated in thc Xl.lVth and
jil.Vth Congresses, auel an invest igat ion was made
by a eemiinittee ol the House on each occasion. Ibe
reports showing that tho accusation* were wholly
nnsnMiiiue-d. Fit tho XLIV'th Congress Mr. Blaine
ap|>eared before the commitIw, which was uncom?
monly anxi**us to lind sometning against him i but
ho was completely exonerated.
Of tho present attempt to tonne:! Mr. Blaine's
name with thc scandal, Major Honel says: " I know
that Blaine's name does not appear anywhere in
Newell's pretended diary; neither does Colonel
Scott's naini". Who lim Illinois Senator is inat
George till mien to in tho interview published in
Chicago, I ih> not know. There ia no luuue in (be
diary that e-orresponels to such a portion. All tlmt is
merely brought in by ibo way of innuendo, to gi\e'. to
the pretended disclosures more public iutere-t, and,
if possible, force.another investigation on the plea
of party advantage."
And so another scheme to throw mud at Senator
Blaine is disposed of.

PROTECTING TIMBER THIEVES.
TUE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE NEGLECTS 1TIK PCRLIC
BUSINESS TO PA83 A LAW FOB TUE BENiVKIT OF
BO.TII..11N TIMBER THIEVES ? IMPORTANT
AMENDMENT.
(BT TKLEORAPR TO TnB TRIDBVXl
Washington, May 21.-Tbe House of Represent?
atives made no effort yesterday or to-day
to appropriate money to pay the Marshals
or tbs otiier necessary expenses of the
United 8tates Courts; neither was any effort
made to provide for tho past due salaries of store?
keep *rs. gauger* and revenue agents; nothing was
said about appropriating rooney to pay tho gas aud
water rates necessary to supply tho Post Offices and
other public buildings throughout the ooiintiv witb
those indispensable article... But the House spent
two or three hours yesterday and a couple
of hours to-day in an attempt, which was suc?
cessful, to pass a bill for tho beneiit of timber
tblovee. chiefly in the Sou them States.
Tbe bill provides that all prosecutions for timber
depredations committed upou tbe publio lands prior
to March 1, 1879, shall be abandoned on tbe pay?
ment of the costs of suit by tbe offenders i - these
last are then to be required to buy tbe publio landa
upon which they have committed depredations.
But the price of said landa is to be reduced to $1 25
an acre, for the benefit of the said thieves.
Ifr. Conger and Mr. Bragg opposed tbe bill, and
characterized it in flt terms. It waa advocated hy Mr,
Herbert, of Alabama. Colonel Hooker, of Mississippi,
and others,
Colonel Hooker waxed sioQuent u he described
the indignities and bard..hips to which bis " honest,
hard-working" constituents bad been subjected
merely because they bar. been engaging in stealing
Jaw-logs from Government hinda. " Swarms of de?
tectives and deputy marshals, ad infinitum." he de
.lflre*d, bad overran the lumber regions of Missis?
sippi und "paralyzed the industries"?meaning tho
business of stealing Governmont timber?in which
the people on the Pearl and tho Pascagoula Rivers
hail been encaged.
The bill was aureed upon in Committee of thc
Whole and was ordered to bs favorably reported to
the House. Inls Was done with tho understanding
ihal an amendment, proposed by Mr. Robinson, of
Massachusetts, might be offend when Hie bill was
considered in the* House. Mr. Robinson's amend?
ment provides that iho bill shall apply only to
persona who havo taken tinnier le>i domestic,
agricultural or mining purposes, or who bave
innocently purchased limber stolen from the.
public lands, When thc bill wu taken up in the
House to-day this amendment was offered and,
iifte-r considerable discussion, was adopted. The
Southern men who advocated thc bill opposed the
admendment with all their power, declaring that it
would defeat the object of tin* bill entirely.
In the course of the discussion a statement from
thc Interior Depart ment was presented by Mr.
Hazelton, of Wisconsin, showing the enormous
amount of timber tbat has bein destroyed and
stolen by trespassers. This statement produced a
marked Impression upon the House and induced
many membera to vote for the amendment. Tho
bill in t .ir* form in which it finally passed ia unob?
jectionable except to the limber thieves and thoso
who conspire with them.

THE CINCINNATI FESTIVAL.

THIN ITS PItEDECESSOItS?A PRESENTATION TO
Mn. THOMAS.
I FROM A STAFF COnnr.SrOJIDF.NT OP TIIF. TR I MT SF.. I
Cincinnati, May 21.? To-uight, with the repeti?
tion of the Beethoven Mass, preceded hy fleclho
ven's Fifth Symphony and followed by Handel's
''Zaelok. thc Priest," tho ir.catest in Hie
?bort list of American If tuieal Festivals came to a
close. In every particular tho celebration has been
far better than its predecessors > better in elesign,
and also more successful. No such imposing anel
symmetrical programmes have been attempted any
whero else, ami nowhere else has great
work been mo perfectly accomplished.
Tho Beethoven Mass marks not only tho
hilliest poinl reached by a musical festival in ibis
country, but also probably Ibo highes! point attain?
able in Hie present condition of art. Even a re?
spectable performance of it is a rare event in any
citv in tho world, A performance so noble ns
that of Cincinnati must br* long remem?
bered lo tho honor of nil concerned in
it. I can add littlo to tho verdict
which I hear over nnd over again from tho ablest
professional musicians whom I meet? that this in?
terpretation of Beethoven's work comes ns near
perfection as human infirmity permits. "I do not
believe," saul ii competent authority in my hearing,
"ihat the Msssbssbeen boiler given, or ever will
be.*' Anel thc general opinion of thine wbo know
enough to have any opinion on tho subject runs to
tbe same effect.
'Jiu* chief merit, as always must be. the case, in a
good execution of such difficult, obscure and exact?
ing works, is in Ihe clear perception, magnetic force
and power, both to inspire and con I roi, possessed
by the conductor. The next is, in tbe tremendous
spirit, the gigantic strength, the rook-like firmness,
nnd (he technical proficiency of the chorus. The
phenomenal orchestra is of hardly inferior Impor?
tant^. Tbe quality of the solo voices counts fur less
Ihan other things in the ensemble, because tlc Moss
bas no solo aire in tbe ordinary sense-of the word.
Hut it i? essential that the quartet shall
be strong, linn nnd intelligent, abbi tee
sine almost anything, and willing lo
sacrifice themselves at the feel of the composer.
Tho quartet assembled bere, or rather thc two
quartets which divide tho labor, deserve the
warmest praise* for ti devout, sympathetic ami
generally comet execution ol their music,
They were almost Invariably satisfactory,
and oflen they were admirable, lt seems
to me Hie eleplh of absurdity to expend np.iii a per*
fnrmaucc presenfing so many elemcnisof the rolos
sal, the mole-eyed criticism which might lie appro?
priate fora miscellaneous display conceit. The
common tendency of crt!ics to focus iheir in'cllcc
Hiiil apparatus upon trivialities reminds me nf the
tourist iu ihe presence of Michael Angelo's "Moses,"
lookiugso sharply for specks in Hie marbi)1 thal bc
never s;iw Hie stilt rn- il self.
The symphony to-night was superb. Tho muss
was even mpre completely overwhelming than on
Wednesday, lin ell'ct of such a work of course
increases with repeated hearing, but it seemed lo
n.e that Ibo execution also was urnnebr ami tbe
( li'elllS Ml.are pi'lfectlv al )':IS0. WllCI! lt WftS OVCt .'I
demonstration was made by tbe chorus in
bonor of Thomas. A handsome carved music
stand was brough! upon tbo stan and placed before
him, while 1 nines showered bouqnels npon hun, and
tin* orche-tr.i played in a fanfare. In the speech of
presentation there were snine pointed allusions to
tbe recent trouble's in tho college, compliments ta
Ihe frankness of Thomas's personal character, snd
wishes fur his speedy return to Cincinnati, which tho
audience received with a storm of applause, 1 could
lu ar very little* nf Thomas's reply, bul I understand
thal he announred the selMtinn of Mr. Michail
lir.niil ns Ins assistant in the preparation of the
next festival eliot us, Mr. Otto Singer retiring from
the position he bus bilbe rto held.
Sninc of the orchestral piece, deserve n morn par?
ticular notice than 1 haye had time to give them in
my previous dispatches. All the wink of the band
was spintiil. richly colored sud beautifully
polished. Lissi's " Tasso," tho " Kakocsy " March,
Schuman n's Symphony In 1>, and tbe selection
from Ooldinark's " Country Wedding," made a
slioeiK impression; bnt, saids from tbe
Symphony lo-nigbt, perhaps ibo finest
instrumental work of the whole Festival was done
in tbe "King I/ear" overture e.f Berlioz, whieh is
enormously difficult, and in Thoma*.'* orranire
menl eef the benntiful air from linell's
suite in D. About titiic"jf strings were
employed in the nmloely hero, and iheir perfect
unanimity nud rare singing lone produced such an
i Heit thal I wished they would keep on ull Hu*
afternoon. Performances like thia have raised the
raatiufo concerts to an importance that (Iocs not
often belonu to such entertainments.

sim Betes with taste. Miss Sherwin has

In |iiii li I nf a He'ml.a i ie c. I bet success of the Festival
has probably surpassed expectations. The hall

Mr. Zi'iralni would imt think ot leaving tho work
with which ho has been ho long identified in

member of tho Hoard that tho college elms not
menu to engage anybody us musical director,

Thomas has already been found in tho person of

THE PRUSSIAN CHURCH BILL.
London, Friday, May 21,1880.
A Berlin dispatch to The Timet says: " Tho
i-entro party observes a strict reserve, but lt denies
oudl.v tbat lt 1. walting for Instruotlous from the Tatt

" Tho reasons why the Government has resolved to In

why Prince ' I'lamarck wishes to Introduce tbe bill is
..ml to exist in the fact that not only very influential

READING GOES DOWN.
_(CenUnmAfrtm first sfwut.)
Pottsville were mn in January, 1842. Since that
ime many short lines have been merged into the
nam road, and the company bas acquired a Urie
iroount of property. Originally chartered to build
i line from Philadelphia to Heading, and afterward
:o Mouut Carbon, a total distance of about 98?_
niles, tbe company controlled and operated at the
;ime of its failure nearly 900 miles of road.
[t acquired by lease little more than a year
igo tho North Pennsylvania and the Delaware and
'lound Brook Railroads. Tbe main line of the Bead
ng Hoad extends through the Schuylkill Valley, and
ts numerous branches carried to markef tho product
)f the two southern coal fields of Pennsylvania,
rho principal business of the railroad company was
ibe carrying of coal from these fields to tidewater
it Port Richmond.
Thc Coal aud Iron Company was organized for
he purpose of buying and operating coal mines in
:hc interest of tho railroad company. It was char
;ered nnder ita original name of the Laurel Run
Improvement Company on May 18, 1871, but in
December of tho samo year the name was changed
:o its present title. Tho railroad company owned
:ho whole of the stock, $8,000,000, and honda
issued ny tho company to the amount of about
P 10,000.000. Tho creation of the Coal and
[ron Company was due to Franklin B. Gowen,
who had been elected president of tbe
railroad company tbe year before. Ho had been for
several years counsel for the company, and on bis
icccKsion to the oresidoncv, he proposed the organ?
ization of tho new company. It was the first
instance of the kind in tbis country,bnt the plan
bad been borrowed from tho action of certain Eug?
lish companies which had become rich by the ad?
vance in value of their coal lands. Tho scheme was
approved by the managers of the railroad company.
At once tlie new company began the purchase of coal
Lands, tor some of which it paid very excessive
prices. Owners of coal lanela were made rich by the
.ale of property at rates which had hardly been
.reamed of. It has been admitted since hy friends
nf tho companies that these purchases wero mado in
nuticipation of tho company's neods, hut it was
urged that tho ultimate prosperity of the company
waa assured by ita absolute control of these coal
fields. It was asserted on tho other hand that the
company never could realize from somo of tho prop
srties sufficient to pay even the taxes,
Mr, Qowen assumed publicly all responsibility
for thc purchases of coal lands. At amoetiugof
shiiro and bondholders of tbo railroad com?
pany, held in London in June, 1877, he de*
fended his action on tho ground that the
valuo of tho railroad property depended
wholly upon the ability of tho company to control
the product of the coal field', through which its
lines run. Tho purchase nnd development of
these landa involved tho outlay of ovcr$G0,O00,0O0,
fe>r tho payment nf which tho railroad company
wis mainly responsible. In consequence partly of
theao obligations the railroad company was unable
to meet ns interest iu 1877. Holders of tbo com
D.my'.s securities agreed to accept scrip >n payment,
bu! the floating debt, which was then over
$7,000,000, was not materially reduced.. At tho
Loudon meeting in 1870, when the proposal to pay
the interest in scrip was inaelo to the English bond
hoblers, President Gowen Haiti, referring to the
poveiblc danger ot foreclosure :
*' 1 do not say that it would he easy to pull
through without your assistance, and it woulel he a
sort of Purgatory for the timo being if I had to
attempt ii. We elo want tbo monov your forbear?
ance*, will give us. but I cannot believo that even
without ii there is any power that coulel loree the
Philadelphia and Keaeimg Railroad Company to
foreclosure in the face of tbe large business we are
utew doing. I frankly admit, almost in tones of
supplication, lo you that wc aie very, very poor,
but elo not think me egotistical wbou 1 say that we
uro tri inn to Ix* lintiest."
Thc funded and tio.iting debts of the two com
names have been increased to enormous figures.
Tbe common and preierred stocks of Ide railroad
company amount to .tm.278,175, and according to
tbe company's report for last year, tho funded m
ilobieilness to $77,024,701, and the floating debts
and other liabilities to fl 1,050,270. The stock of
thc Coal ami Iron Company amounts to if 8.000,000,
nml Hu* bonded and other indebtedness to
iti(J2.71'.>.031. The railroad companv held of these
tin* enure Block and nearly $40,000,000 boudie.

Bettor Jos. Marti, president of tbe Coban
Kc volutloiiavy Committee if New-York, wns found st
Ins bouse* in HistTwenty-ninth-st. by a Tribune re?
porter on Tneaday. President Marti seemed to bo in
tin' best of sp lits, although sluming evidences of over?
work. The _.por*t>r wns received te a cordial manner
and hal a loner conversation with Hehir Marti, or
rattier wai tm interested listener to tue president's
monologue upou Cuban accomplishments and pros?
pects.
" Wo linve not spoke*n before," said Sefior Marti, '* be
cause we withed to speak by deeds nud not by words.
Wo preter netnen to boastful prophecies. Alter
tin* unexpected termination of tito last War

.pani*. .Government folieeweei two courses of political
action. In Ho) revolutionary depurtiuemts of Esstern
dillie they maintained a state of martial law. They per
s cnicil and hounded the patriots with relentless vigor.
The leaders of the movement irom which tbe Oovern
nien! had something to fear, wero Imprisoned or mys?
teriously disappeared. Anionic these wit.* Loltes ViiI.tI,
who was taken away in a Suauish war vessel; Espitiosa,

who suffered death, many havo been banished to Spain,
such us -ilverio del Prado, an old man scvculy-tlve
years of age I Uommgues uiul (.novara. I nm happy to
suite that they have all effected their escape from Span?
ish shores.
*? Hu tho wost eitlo of tho Island of Cuba the Govern?
ment of Spain has mado many protestations of friend?
ship to Hu* Cubans, permitting them to take a few tnn
tail/, ng sips from the cup of Liberty, aud throwlug them
sonic e: limbs of Justice, making promises never In?
tended to b ? kept. Tho Ooveromoui. seeks to hold the
tatiabitants of thc Eastern District In entire Ignorance
soto the ants and attitude of tbe western patt of tbe
Island. In order to stiflo tbo seutluieni of revolt aud pre?
vent accessions to tho ranks ot tbo insurgents. Tho
hope of reform lu tho western part of Cuba,
united with tbo la'sltudo following tbo dlsnsttous war
justttnishi'd. mado many relieve that tho now revolu?
tion would not como at present. But a revolution which
hni in view an cud so glorious aud humane does not
oease until lt arrives at tho desired result. The war
stopped only to tako breath for anew struggle. It was
personal divisions and quarrels that precipitated tho
? Peace of San Juan.' These divisions dlsappeare 1 end
tho true causes of tbe war remained, Increased by the
perfidy of tho -pauls- Oovornmcut, '>y tho poverty oc?
casioned by thc war,by the angerof Cuba at having been
duped by Spulu, nud by tbe need one has to live in lib?
erty when lt baa unco been tasted. Thon thero Is Iho
terrible el inger of disappointing tho negroes In their
hopes of freedom, which had been promised to them,
mid the rago mid despair of tbe people at the sufferings
brought upon tbo country by Spain.
"Ills nllogcd tbat our Army bas none of Ita old
chiefs," continued President Marti. " If they were ab
sent at first lt was only because some of them wet
killed, othora exiled and oihcrs fugitives In this coun?
try. The Government profiled by tbis, declaring that
the revolution was only a war of rae'ea and of uo Impor?

still they nre outnumbered by the whites, and In tho
Hepaiimmtof Las Villas there ure ouly white soldiers

But on tho contrary General Garcia was ono of the
