W.asjiikoton, D, 0,, April 10.?Considerable
amusement wits created hero to-day
among Krntuckians by tho report that
ex-United States Attorney G. 0. Wharton,
of Louisville, would call Congressman
John P. White, of Kentucky, to account
(or having, uttered certain accusations
against him (Wharton) in debate in the
House yesterday. Whito accused Wharton
of having been removed forofllcialcorruption
under Genera) Grant's administration.
Tho fact is that Wharton was removed by
Grant because he was a friend of Bristow.
Grant offered to reinstate Wharton when
tie learned all the circumstances of the case,
but Wharton refused to accept a reappointment
until llayes came in, when he
was put back in his old place. Now he ia

of Wharton that Jie recommend
the pardon of a gang of men indicted for
violation of tho law. This the District Attorney
refused to do, and it is suspected"
that White's animus against Wiiarton grows
jut of this circumstance. Mr. Wharton

Jpcclal Dispatch to the InUilhtfiuiCL'r.
Washington, April 10.?Judge Taylor,
who has been investigating the subject of
the Outanagon Railroad grant an a subcommittee
of the Committee on Judiciary,
yesterday fded his report with the full
committee. It takes the ground that the
government has no right to forfeit the
grants to tho land grant roads on account
ol unfulfilled contracts, except by act of
Congress or tho judiciary; that the mere
fact of a failure to complete tho contract
under which the land was bestowed cannot
give the government the right to informally
oust tho roads.
The report also says that any lapse of
time previous to forfeiture, after failure to
comply with the contract, cannot afreet the
right of Congress to make such forfeiture.
In the case in'hand, where tho original
parties failed to complete the contract and
the road, and other parties obtained a charter
from tho State of Michigan to complete
the road, for the mere purpose of
wresting certain valuable mineral
lands in the grants from private
parties who had purchased them.
The report recotntnoudy that the entire
grant be not forfeited, but that it bo left as
an inducement to the completion of the
rniul. and retrommpndu nnlv tho forfeiture
of about 00,000 acres to quit the titles of innocent
purchasers. The report will probably
be adopted by the full committee, and
is looked upon with considerable interest,
as it will probably serve as a precedent
in the adjudication of the other land grant
forfeiture cases soon to come up.
flOLID MOUTII MTATC.
An InftJde YJew of Ibe Politic* of Koutli
Carolina.
Washington, April 15.?Congressmanelect
Mackey, of South Carolina, has just
received a letter from a well-informed and
prominent Republican politician of that
State, who writes that the Democracy
thereof have hit upon an entirely original
scheme to redistrict the State, and at the
same time enable tbo Democrats to control
all of the new Congressional districts. The
apportionment law requires that each Congressional
district shall be composed of
contiguous territory, and this requirement
has troubled South Carolina Bourbons not
a little, because, under the present county
organization it would be impossible, without
splitting counties, so' to gerrymander
tho Sfate as to make all thodistricts moderately
safe for the Democrats, even after all
the usual South Carolina devices to swindle
tho ltenublicans had been practiced. Tho
now scheme is set forth by Col. Mackey'a
correspondent, as follows;
There seems to be some opposition to
the Legislature meeting to reuistrict the
.State, but I think thoy will meet and form
new counties, so as to make the comities
in districts contiguous. This they will
have to do to insure Democratic success in
the districts. To make these new counties
will burden the people thereof with heavy
debts, and if they do do it, will in a short
time make the opposition to present Bourbon
Democracy more positive than ever.
Nearly all the leading men are candidates
for Congress.
The municipal election was held in Columbia
last week, and Colonel Mackey's
correspondent gives tlio following account
of the manner in which the IJuurbona
elected their candidate for Mayor:
Jn our Mayoralty election Agnew was
elected by a large majority, but was cheated,
not exactly in the usual style, but it
amounted to tho same thing. They had
the voting precincts at the tops of houses
(ton Moors), with narrow stairs leading up.
Ballot-boxes were hidden behind tho
boards, so that you had to lean over to
vote. They say that all day lonj; the managers
were piuking out Agnew tickets aud
substituting Khetc tickets in. tho boxes.
The County Hoard refused Agnew any
representation on tho Board of Managers,
and yet it was proclaimed a great victory.
Now they are all bulldoaing tho merchants
who voted for Agnew by going round and
snylng they can not trade with them any
longer for defying the Democracy. What
a free country!
Agnew was indpepdent candidate and
was supported by many Democrats, as well
as bv Republicans generally, lie was formerly
Mayor of Columbia, and his admin-1
istration of office gave general satisfaction,
especially in the business community. He
is one of tho leading merchantsof the city,
and received the support of many merchants,
who are nominally Democrats, but
who are dissatisfied with the policy of
Bourbon loaders. Returns of the election,
as published in tfje Non-Courier, of
Charleston, show on thoir facp that ballotstuffing
was resorted to against Agnew. for
at one precinct an excess of ninety tickets
WM found to Uie box, about one-fourtii of
Oie entire vole ol tho precinct, and at
another precinct an excess ol iliirty tickets
was found. In every ballot-box were
found more tickets than there were names
of votereon the poll list. Tito Democratic
triumph at Columbia was hailed witli Joy
by Bourbons throughout the State, aud in
many places bonllres were lighted and
caunon were flrcd in honor of the victory.

0. Ledynr<1, an American, now in Siberia,
to a friend in this city. At Irkoutsk,
1/jdyard met Lieut. Danenhower, who
gave him interesting details of the loss of
the Jeannette, from which the foilowiug
extracts are made:
"Since the first fall, when they were
caught toy the ico in trying to reach llerald
Island, they have never taken their course,
but were held as in the jaws of death;
squeezed till every timber quivered: turned
this way and that; thrown floating and
then caught again, and every hour in suspense,
never knowing when the ice would
close upon them a little more and the deck
sink beneath them. Throughout this strain
they were well and trying to be cheerful,
working very hard, for the engine
and men were barely able to keep
water out. They had to pump for one year
and half. JwiG 11,1881, crisis came. The
ship showed greater straining than before,deck
quivered and inexplicable movements

boats and made their camp beside the vessel.

went down. A cry of alarm called
to cscape from the crevice in ice. It
onened just through the captain's tent ,
They then began a retreat Twenty-nine
days they struggled southward. Three
hundred miles of broken ice were thus
passed over. Four miles a day was thought
a good fortune. After one series of /our- i
teen days they were twenty-seven miles
further north than at first While working i
over the ice, dragging three boats, they discovered
Bennet island, to exploro which i
they spent three weeks of their i
precious summer clays and expend- .
ed much of their limited supply i
of food. To this detour those who sur- j
vived attributo much of their suffering
and the death of tho commander with
nineteen men. After three months of this ,
perilous and exhausting work they came ;

WiraiKOTOK, April 15.?Tho opto
of the Attorney Ooncral on the Fill Jo
Porter rase, alter reviewing the history
the court-martial, the approval of lis ?
tenco by the President, and later actl
of the Advisory Hoard, considers the qu
tion whether it it is competent tor I
President to afford tho applicant the rcl
he osiu under the existing law and c
cumstoncea of liis case.
The Attorney Clciieral, after citi
numerous legal opinions and decisioi
Bays when the Presidont performs thedu
of approving the sentence of a court mi
tial dismissing an officer, his act has i
the solemnity and significance of tl
judgement of a court of Taw, as it has to
performed under the same consequenci
Now, one of the consequences is that whi
judgment luis been regularly entered jn
case properly within judicial cogn
mice, from which no appeal has ?<m
provided or taken, and it has bo
lollow'ed by execution, it is final ai
conclusive upon the party against whom
is entered. And tills effect attaches (Inn
opinion) to the action of the President
approving tlie action of the court-iuarti
dismissing an otllcer, after that approv
luis been consummated by actual di
missal. Here it is proper to add that tl
very inquiry now under examination li
been resolved in tlm negative by the d
liberate decision of a former aifiniuisti
don, as appears by tho message of tl
President of June 6, 1870, transmitting
Congress tho report and proceedings of tl
Board of Army Officers upon tliu case
Cicnerai Porter. Tho conclusion tin
reached was that the President was "wit
Dut powor in tlie absence of legislation
net upon the recommendations of the i
port further than by submitting the san
Lo Congress."
This conclusion is a denial ol the e\
ilence ol any power in the President
review and to "annul and set aside tl
findings and sentence of a court-martial
in that case as recommended by the Boar
und it is entitled to great weight as beii
the view not only of the President himse
but presumably that of his Cabin*
among whose members were men emine
in the profession of law. These opinio
of my predecessors and the Supreme Cou
all no to establish this proposition: th
where tho sentence of a legally constituti
court-martial iu a case where its jurisdi
tion Iijih been approved by a reviewij
authority, and carried into execution,
can not afterwards, under the present sta
Df the law, be revised and set aside. Tl
proceedings are then at an end, and acti(
thus had upon a sentence is, in contempi
tion of the law, final.
I am unable to arrive at a different co
elusion, and 1 accordingly hold that in tl
ease under consideration the President h
no power to review the proceedings of tl
Court martial and annul its#)entence.
follows from this view that the Presidei
can afford the applicant no relief tlirouj
a revision of sentence in this case. Tli
sentence involved immediate dismiss
from the army and disability to hold olli
thereafter. The dismissul is an accomplis
ed fact, and so far the sentence is cot
pletely executed; the disability is a conti
uing punishment, and in regard to tli
the sentence is being executed the latt
may be remitted by the exercise of tJ
pardoning power, but the former can n
in any way he affected thereby. Thus
pardon would not restore tho applicant
office in the Military service from whi<
he was dismissed.
This could only be done by nppointme
under special authority from Congrei
sinco by the general law of tho milita
service appointments to the rank of ge
era! officers are to be made by seleclit
from tho army, and all vacancies in esta
lished regiments and corps to the rank
Colonel are to be filled by promotion, i
cording to seniority, except in cases
disability or other incompetency.
In this connection I remark that the s
of 1808, referred to by General Porter
his letter of request, was, as its title ii
ports, oply meant to be declaratory of la'
namely: that an officer cashiered or d
missed by the sentence of a court-marti
can not be otherwise restored to the mi
tary service than through a new appoir
ment, with the consent of the Senate.
The law is tho same as to officers of tl
army who cease to be such in any otti
way. The power to appoint is not co
ferred by tho statute; this power remaii
subject to the general law, and in absen
of special authority from Congress, it o
only bo exercised with respect to a pera
who lias fiensed to he an officer in f ho m?
ner above Btated, where it might equal
well be exercised if such person had uev
been an ollicer in the military service.
Upon the general question considere
the conclusion arrived at is that it is n
within the competency of tho Precedent
ulFord the applicant the relief ho has ask<
for, that is to say, that it is not compete]
to the President to annul and^aet aside tl
finding and sentence of tho court marti
and nominate him to the Senate for restc
ation to liia former rank in the army.

jl Enormoua Inerewte or Immigration ,
From the OI?l World.
Nkw Yohjc, April 15?Last week thero |
?b marched into Castle Garden 15,010 immi- J
Jn grants, 5.771 more than arrived in tho cor- j
. ? responding week "last year. During May
,n* and Juno the arrivals will undoubtedly be j
m 25,000 to 30,000 a week.
id "The prospects of immigration this
year," said Superintendent Jackson to a
iJ reporter, "aro sirnpjy unparalleled. Judg- r
ai ing from the arrivals so far, and from our (
;al foreign advices, we believo this year's im18
migration will exceed last year's by nearly <
iie 300,000 people; that is, the immigration
as this year promises to be a tllird greater
than last year, which means an influx of !
a* nearly 1,000,000."
lie "Are there are any new facts relative to 1
to the directious westward in which tannine
gration is tending?" (
of "Onlv that a oreat manv am tn
>n southwest. The ageuta of tbo new rail- J
h- roads which penetrate Colorado, New
to Mexico, Texas, and other promising
e- southwestern regions have been busy in
no Europe and have succeeded in diverting
to these new countries quite ft stream of
'i- travel which has hitherto flowed almost anto
brokenly to tho west and northwest. These y
ie southwestern roads are the only American
?" interest that are now making any special ?
d; effort to secure immigration. Theytre
ig doing very well indeed, and we have been
1?? considerably surprised to find so many
it, immigrants bound for new homes in \
nt Kansas, Colorado. New Mexico and Texas.
ds There is every indication now that large J
irt and rapid additions to the population of ?
at that section will he made from abroad. [
wl The growth of the Southwest will doubtless
ic- be slower than that of the Northwest, but
og the Germans and Norwegians are begin- J
it ning to look that way, and the developte
ment of that section is evidently going to .
lie receive a great impetus from their in com- :
>n ing. Last year we sent quite a good nutntt
ber of immigrants to the Soutfiern States, '
particularly South Carolina, Jn answer to .
o- appeals for workinginen. So far this sea- J,1
ie son we have sent no people South.
as "The reasons," continued the Superin?e
tcndent, "for the present gteat activity J
It in immigration are easily apparent. Wages *
t>t for two years on the continent have been ]
5h lower than ever. Tho partial failure of J
ftt crops has made food high and at the same
>ftl time cut off part of the demand
ce for laborers. In all the European counh
tries, particularly in Germany, there are J
u* more workers than work, high food and
a* low wages. For two years past there has J
ut prevailed in this country the exact reverse I
er of these discouraging conditions of life,
ie and hence came the revival of immigrant
tion, which has been growing in volumo
ft for two years, and perhaps. will reach its J
to climax for a while Uiis year. * !

Following is the investigation in detail
The Shipherd examination was resumed.
The following letter was laid before the
jommittee:.
Wajui.vgto.v, April 14.
To Hon. Chat. Q. 1 VillUyn*, Chairman:
Sir?At the convenience of your com1
nittee I desire to be heard in reference tc
?eru-Chilian matters now under investiga
ion.
Awaiting your pleasure, I am. very reipectfullv,
James G. Blaine.
The Chairman was directed to acknowl
;dge the receipt of the letter, leaving it an
>pen question for the present as to whet
Hr. Blaine should be heard.
iiepresentativo Lord then took up th<
:ross-examination uf Shipherd.
Witness stated in reply to a question, "1
loult with llurlbut us I would have deal!
vith a recognized criminal."
Q. Now. was that by the advice of counlei?
A. The dealings 1 had wiih him wen
>y advice of counsel.
Witness was closely pressed upon thif
joint, ana finally went into a Ioiik explanaion
to the tiled that in his dealings with
lurlbut be acted wholly on the defensive,
is ho would against a man who would
triko him, and in dealing with him he
ealized he was a bad man, and he must ?c
reat with him as to prevent liim from inuring
tliem. I did not intend to mislead
ieneral Ilurlbut. I meant just what I said
u my oiler to him.
Representative Lord (interrupting-!
Ion t care for a long explanation of the
hiloflophy of your action. You can in a
ew words state just what you meant,
tour promise meant nothing unless vonr
unguage waa construed the same by both
if you.
Witness?I put out this letter to test his
noral appreciation, intending to let him
onstrue as he saw tit, believing that he
rould act upon it, and at proper time would
txpect such interest as he believed due
lim.
Mr. Lord?Then until you both agreed
is to moral interpretation of the letter you
(xpected to consider that you were responible
for nothing but a virtuous and honorible
proposal, and he (Hurlbut) would
rnve nothing to expect and you would
lave.nothine to pay?
"Witness?That was my view in part
Witness admitted that Governor Boutveil
consulted in regard to letter after it
tad been sent, artH Iris comment was,
'That letter seems plain to a careful reader,
>ut if I had been consulted. Shipherd, ]
loubt if 1 should have auvised send'
ng it."
Representative Wilson asked, "When
lid you first become connected with this
lompany or claims."
i Answer?In the latter part of March,
881,1 was first employed by individuals,
n a capacity of practicing attorney, to exinline
into it, and see if anything could be
nade out of it. ' I advised additional
ionnsel, and in October, 1881, the Peruvian
Company w as organized.
Witness stated, in reply to further quesions,
"No Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United States, and no member of Cougress
?ver owned any interest in this claim, tc
ny knowledge.
Witness declined to state whether any
Senator over held or owned stock in th<
sompany.
The chairman requested witness to give
ho committee the names of the two #on
emeu, mux* in iiew xorK, io wnom snip
lerd alluded as the parties who were peranally
cognizant of Hurlbut's intimacy
vith Juarez.
Witness declined to make public the
lames of these gentlemen, but would give
hem to the committee in confidence, that
hey might determine whether or not tbo)
vould summon them here as witnesses.
The chairman assented and announced a

"The lost imperial edict of Japan, issued
a October, 1881, antedates a grand politial
change, indeed a revolution, in 1889,
?be Government of Japan bos been foi
nore than twenty-live centuries a hereditary
ibsolute monarch, and in the interim the
mperial sway was often eclipsed by a usurpng
ambition of some feudal chiefs. In
878 tho last feudal usurper, Tokugawa liiayoshi,
was compelled to surrender hU
lespotic- power of Generalissimo of
ho Imperial army of great Japan. In thii
eetoration of the imperial authority many
nen of great ability were ardently engaged,
;nd a large number of them arc now holdng
high positions in the government, and
vith their loyalty, ability and patriotism,
t is that the progress and prosperity ol
his insular Empire chiefly rest. They
lave promoted the imperial welfare, and
it the same time broken many despotic
chains of feudalism, and thus set the peo)le
free from oppressions.- The hUroaucion
of these political changes has nccessarly
created a peculiar national burden. The
eudal lords restored their hereditary
lominions to the Emperor. andv disbanded
their retainers who bavo sinci
jecorae pensioners liko their lords. The
eudal vassals bo disengaged are called
Sbixoku, grading legally above the common
tnd now number over 40,000. They wen
brought up in strict accordance with th<
military education are somewhat qualifier
to bear arms, but totally unfit for th?
worldly life of business. Most of then
scarcely know how (o earn a pieee of bread
They are bard pressed by poverty, ant

Himrt'a Hbop Nbnt up, s
" Nmv Yoiik, April 15.?Judge Henry Hil- en
[ ton Baid to-day that the reason he closed JJj
up the business of A. T. Stewart Jc Co. was y<>
that he was tired, lie and Mr. Libby had
i been togethor lor twenty years and had '"j
- never had a word ol disagreement. Tbey a<i
' had agreed to sell out while they could
without loss. AO
"Will you close and sell your mills also?" ew
wns asked. {j,
1 "Yes, thev are included in the business, c&
Now so e what a gigantic concern this was. a
Wo had at ono time thirteen or fourteen
mills in operation. Some ace closed and &,
some wo have sold. We liavo large ones a.
' yet in operation. There is a big carpet J?'
' mill running in (ilenham, a woolen mill oil
in (jlenham, a thread mill in Catskill, and M
' a inill^making underwear in Nottingham, jJS
England. We employ altogether about six ~"<j
thousand persons, over three thousand be- Foi
inghere in New York." "J
1 "Has the firm been losing money since n*
you took charge of the business?" Ho
' "I am not going to say what money we {JJJ
. have made; but 1 wiil say that we have kai
each year mado profits that were satisfae- }*{
tory to us. Since Mr. Stewart's death I |J}
have done no single thing in the conduct l. \
' of this business that 1 afterward had cause M.<
1 to regret.'" MJ
"As to the discrimination against the nic
1 Jews?" . Mtn
"That did not hurt our business at all,"
1 Mr. Hilton replied. "We had a great many n*i
| accounts wit It Jews which might have
; proved losses for our closing them when ]} j
1 we did. I did not say half what I was N
1 credited with having said against them. I ?ti
' did not utter the words that were ac- ?w
; tually put in my mouth, and that
1 caused a generally tribal war against #72
me. But it did not hurt this business, ?'<
which was larger the following year than Jg"
! it had been the previous year. Of course ?i 4
1 I did not have objections to all Jews, but > w
ouiy to a certain class. All tiie Jews did JJjJj
not withdraw their business. We do busi- ?i 4
ness with them yet, und at the same time
buy hundreds of thousands ol dollars' j~t*J
1 worth of goods every year. The business 141
has been conducted just as it was under J
1 Mr. Stewart, and while I don't intend to Si
say now mucn money it wis got, l will say bet
1 that it has got alt the money that it needs, cla;
Again, it was said that the Chicago branch JJJ
was started without the approval of my clo*
colleague. That is all nonftrise."
"Will you sell out gradually or at once, JJjf
! by auction, or in what way?" wh'i
' "I will not pay. I am accused of boast- gte
1 ing,"but as a matter of fact I have never JJJ
boasted, or even told what I was going to red:
do. Go and stand behind the counter and j*lr
| hand out the goods there, and you'll see "J}'
what it is to sell out. If we have any espe- 2 4?
rial bai^ains 'we will a 'vertise them, and
i pay for the advertisement."
One of the clerks was asked whether the ?n\
' employes knewj beforehand of Mr. Hilton's hW
intention to atop business. mj
"It was a surprise to us," ho said, "al- duf
1 though we knew it must come. Trade has *<>r
been fallingaway steadily, and we expected ^
something would happen, though pot so
quickly," ?i 2
"Have the clerks received my notice 9ii
\ a:
'No; nothing has boen said to ua. We ?T
1 shall have to look out for other places.
The employes will probably be discharged jj[j
' a few at a time, as it will take some i?or
' months to close up the business."
