Pardoned bjr the PresUent.
A MAIL KOBREB AND OTHER CONVICTS BET AT LIB
ERTY BY EXECDTIYB ORDER.
The President to-day pardoned a number ot
criminals. In the case of W. J. Sherrlll, Impris
oned In the eastern district ot Arkansas tor Tlola
tlon or the postal laws, sentence having been sus
pended, he says that the reponslblllty of the par
don Is put upon the Judge and the district attor
1 ney, both or whom asked that It be granted; Wm.
I H. W alter, I'tah, sentence suspended on convic
tion ror unlawful cohabitation, has assured the
district attorney that he will obey the
laws in the future, and the President says
mat it Is the policy of the Gov
ernment to extend clemency In such cases: Wm.
Roath, district of Connecticut, sentenced February
25.188510 tour years'imprisonment tor perjury;
sentence commuted to two years December 20,
188H. This pardon Is granted for the purpose of
restoring the convict to citizenship. Thoa. Hen
derson. district of Utah, unlawful cohabitation,
sentenced November 14, 1887, to six months' lm
prlsoument, sentence commuted to three months.
Kdson 8. Mogoon, district of Vermont, violation of
internal-revenue laws, sentenced March 1.1887, to
eighteen months' imprisonment and $2,000 fine.
This pardon Is {ranted upon the grounds that the
convict has served more than ten months; that he
has rendered service to the Government in the
prosecution of other offenders, and on t)M recom
mendation of the district attorney. Jaa. N.
Pace, western district of Texas, sentenced No
vember 21. 1874, to imprisonment for U? for ,
mall robbery. The President says; "Tnls convict
has been imprisoned eight years, and baa behaved
so well as to interest the prison officials In his be
half. His wife has died since his conviction, leav
ing a number of minor children. His pardon is
recommended by the district attorney and many
good citizens, and there may oe a slight doubt of
Ls guilt," Win. Johnson and Jefferson cook,
middle district of Alabama, sentenced July, 1885,
to three years' Imprisonment and $1,400 tine each
for violation of the pension laws. "The sentence
in these cases," the President says, "Is commuted

remitted. 1 believe offenses afalnst the pension
laws are not of a character tow treated lightly.

THE INQCIRT ABOUT MR. WE8TBR00K.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Hale,
calling on the Attorney-General for Information
as to the appointment of Chas. R. Westbrook as
assistant to the district attorney for the southern
district of New York, was taken up and passed.
1 he morning business being finished the bill for
refunding the direct tax of 18(51 was taken up, the
question being on Mr. chandler's motion to recom
mit the btlL The motion was rejected.
The question was then taken on an amendment
offered by Mr. Edmunds, requiring all claims to be
Hied within six years, and it was agreed to.
Several amendments of a verbal character were
also agieed to.
Mr. Berry offered an amendment providing that
no part of the money collected from Individuals
shah be retained by tne United Slates as a set off
against any state indebtedness.
Mr. Sherman opposed the amendment as un
necessary.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. Vance offered an amendment extending the
provisions ol the bill to the cotton tax collected
under the law of 1?02 and subsequent laws, lie
said that if the direct tax was to be refunded this
cotton tax (which was also a direct tax) ought to
be refunded. If the one was a hardship the other
was equally a hardship. The cotton tax was a tax
on exports, and was levied on the peculiar product
of one section of tho country, so that there cou^d
be no compensating tax on any other section.
Mr. George advocated the amendment. The con
StltutlanalltjTir the cotton tax had been referred,
he said, to the Supreme Court, and the court
(consisting then of only eight members) had been
equally divided upon 1U Being a tax upon a raw
product, It was virtually a tax on land; therefore
n direct tax, which should be (under the constitu
tion) apportioned according to population.
THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.
Mr. Berry also advocated the amendment. Four
flfthsof the money, under the bill to refund the
direct tax, would go to the Northern states, and it
was but equitable and Just that the cotton tax,
which had fallen wholly on Southern planters,
should be reiuuded.
Mr Brown believed that the cotton tax should
be refunded; and whenever that questlou came up
in such shape that he could properly vote lor it he
would do so. But the adoption of the cotton tax
amendment would (he was convinced) defeat the
pending measure, which, he believed, ought to
pass. He should, therefore, vote against the
amendment.
Mr. Morgan expressed his concurrence with the
views oCMr. Browd. The question of the cotton
tax had not been considered by the committee on
nuance. It was a very grave question, and there
would be a serious difficulty found in refunding
the cotton tax. The effect of the pending bill
would be tii remove all causes of heart-burning
that might be lingering In the minds of the people
of the two sectlous. He supported it be
cause of its merits, and he did not desire
to have it connected with any other
great proposition which would embarrass its Das
sage. The proposition offered by the senator
from North Carolina was a very disputed one. If
the people of the south had the constitutional
right to claim the refunding ot the cotton tax, he
would support the claim; but he would never
setup an equitable claim to It; for, after all, It
was the right of the United States Government :
(from its standpoint that the dissolution of the
Union by the secssslon of states was impossible)
to tax the people ot the South. He was not pre
pared to give a definite opinion on the constitu
tionality of the cotton tax and would, therefore,
sustain the position of the Senator from Georgia
tMr. Brown).
Mr. Sherman expressed his surprise that Sena
tors whom he had supposed to be strongly in favor
of the pending measure, and for the benefit ot
whose states it had been chlelly Introduced,
should have interposed such an obstacle to its pas
sage. He believed that the cotton tax (from uo to
SO millions) had been right and Just, and ho was
ready to defend that position whenever it was
assailed.
The vote was taken on Mr. Vance's amendment
and it was rejected?yeas, 16; nays, 4ft.
THE BILL PASSED.
Other amendments were rejected and the bill
was passed?yeas, 48; nays, 10.

AN INqUlRY ABOUT THE FUNDING ACT.
Mr. Plumb (11L) asked unanimous consent to
offer for immediate consideration the following
preamble and resolution: Whereas the last annual
report of the secretary of the Treasury made to this
body shows that. Acting in accord with the views of
the President, he has paid out of the revenues col
lected from Imports the sum ot $S,8KJ,01o in
premiums to holders ot Government bonds, as
suming that In no other way under existing laws
can the requirements of the sinking fund be met;
and whereas by the terms of the refund
ing act passed July 14, 1870, as 6liown
by the record of the flnat vote thereon,
all of the bonds called "four per cents," of which
there are now outstanding the sum ot
??;?VjB1,h50, are payable at the pleasure ot the
United states tor thirty years from the date of
their issue?a provision which, it understood and
acted upon in accordance with its manifest word
ing and intention, makes possible not only the
payment of the said bonds as fast as any surplus
available for such purpose may accumulate in tbe
Treasury, but also the refunding ot the same at
a rate of interest that would save to the tax
payers more than two hundred millions of dollars;
and whereas the said reiundlng act has,as It ap
pears, without due authority, been so altered and
published in the statutes at Large as to read,
"payable at tue pleasure of the United States liter
thirty years," instead of "for thirty years, as
voted, thus entirely subverting the manifest mean
ing of the provision ot said act, which provides for
the redemption of the bonds named; therefore
I ^Moltied, That a contalttee ot Ave memberaof
this House be appointed by tbe speaker, wboee
duty it shall be to make a careful examination of
all the (acts relating to the pHMge, engrossment,
ana enrollment ot tne funding act, so-bailed, and
all acts in force bearing upontb* quwtlon of tne
right of tne Government to redeem its outstanding
interest-bearing obligations, with a *lew to taking
such steps as may be required.tolascerujlnthe

documents, and to obtain true cpjrtes^tM same,
as well as to administer oaths; the ??ininltt?e to
report to this House with such recommendations
as may be aeemrd advisable in the premises.
Mr. Hooker (Mlss.> objected to the present con
sideration or the resolution, and Mr. Breckinridge
(K>\> objected to Its reference to a committee.
Mr. Cannon (111.) contended that the resolution
was a privileged one, inasmuch as it went to the
very toundatlon of the proceedings of congress.
The Speaker rtlled that it was uot privileged, as
It referral to the proceedings of a past Con-rresa.
The resolution was, therefore, not received.

tained permission to have placed on the calendar
the bill introduced to provide for a monument near

having closely consulted the statutes, appointed

statutes provide that it shall consist of three mem
bers of each house. Speaker Carlisle's attention
had been called to the matter, and he promised to
correct It at an early day. Mr. Hoar presumed
that the Illness of the Speaker had prevented the
reduction of the House committee to the number
limited by law. He said the bill received the fa
vorable consideration of the Joint committee of the

A pedestrian MATCH BETWEEN TWO TOl'NO MART
LAND CLCB MEN.
Notwithstanding the almost Impassable condi
tion of the roads, two young men well know n in
society and club circles In Baltimore undertook to
walk from Baltimore to this city on a wager yes
terday. These pedestrians were Mr. T. Swalm La
trobe, son of Mayor Latrobe, and Frank K. How
ard, both prominent members of the Maryland
Club. Early In the morning, with their referees
J. C. Mason and W. Gary McHenry, they ate break
fast at Mr. Latrobe's residence, 901 North Charles
street. After breakfast the pany, accompanied
by Koss W. Whistler, Henry B. keyser. and Sidney
C. Carey, was driven in carriages to the corner of
Washington avenue and Carey street, where the
Washington pike begins and there the walk began,
at 0:30 in the morning, on a roa I of ice and slush.
During the first twenty miles Latrobe marked the
path with Howard Immediately behind htm. The
heavy snow forced Howard to put on his spikes;
Latrobe already had his on. Up to this time
neither man attempted to go faster than a dog
trot, and at no time were tuey farther than ten
feet apart, nor had either made a stop even for an
instant, tuelr nourishment being taken while they
walked. Approaching Beltsvllle, twelve miles
from this city, Latrobe was noticed U) force the
walk, with or without his trainer's instructions.
But Howard showed himself equal to the test and
plaved a regular game of hide-and-seek.
Between Beltsville and Bladen-burg, Latrobe
showed signs of weakness. Passing through
Bladensburg the wonderment of the villagers
seemed to revive him somewhat, as he was
noticed to smile, and even trot lor a hundred
yards or so. Tnen he fell behind more than at
auy other time of the walk, wnile Howard, seizing
upon the opportunity, walked briskly lorwaid,
with McHeury, on toot, by his side, and Whistler j
in a carriage, ready to hand him whatever might
be needed. Latrobe, In crossing a small stream
the other si tie of Bladensburg, stopped for an in
stant as If intending to give up. ills trainer was
by his side in an Instant, ready to lend him a help
ing hand, but this he declined, aud pushed for
ward once more. He was now 200 yards behind
Howard, who looked fresuer than ever. Latrobe
stumbled several limes In ascending the hill ad
Joiuiug the bridge. At the top ot die hill. Just
he turned to look for his trainer, he
REELED AND FELL TO TUE GROUND
In a faint. McHenry and Whistler were called
back from Howard, who continued the walk alone.
A buffalo robe was placed under Latrobe, while
all bands endeavored to restore him to conscious
ness. Fully ten minutes were spent In this way
beiore he opened lus eyes.
He was wrapped In the robe and tenderly placed
In the Dayton wagon in which be was brought to
this city. Mr. How .ra kept on, finishing the walk
to this city alone, and accomplishing the Journey
of 40 miles in seven h^urs and twenty-nine
minim**, or an average of a Utile over 5 miles an
hour. _ . ,
The Baltimore American of to-day says: In
speaking of the walk at chamberlain's, a party of
Baltlmoreans and Washlngtoniaua suggested that
It would be an excellent laea to get up a walking
match some time when the roads are In a better
condition, between a company of tne Fifth Mary
land Kegiment aud a company picked tiom the
Washington Light Infantry, each company to
start fro a its own city o*wr the same road. Con
siderable rivalry would come <* such a content,
especially aa It would interest the enure roliioa of
each city. The home companies could easily ar
range lor a reception and dinner to the visiting
company. Besides, the men In the company
would be given a. taste of real soidler We, and of
what tney may expect U we ever have another
war in this country.
