TufM'.ial L'r. I'.arbce, a member of tho

?i?o-<liin-'.txir|it that he is a believer in

iyir ct for the Doctor, wo
nin-t I?leave to receive this prediction
?iilnuany grains of allowance. Brother
Kf-.-'iI, the (irecnback candidate in this
dL-trirt. in the two last campaigns, had his
uii^iint' lutjH'Sj which, however, grow
Miiail by decrees and beautifully less as
liif canvas wore away. If this country
harvests good crop*, ami the strikes pass
aAjyinthe next month, the Greenback
vi.te will virtually peter out in almost every
Suit* i" the Union.
Ir seem* that the Knglish holders of Virginia
l?on?l--? held a meeting on the 4th of
July, in 1/mdon, ami took steps to bring to
liie attention uf President Arthur the niatirr
of Virginia's delinquency. Apparently
these Kiclisluuen do not understand
the relations of the Federal Government to
t!i?*Stut?-H of the Union. In the original
I'.mstitntioii there was a provision tinder
which the creditor of a State could bring a
suit against it in a United States Court, but
lowajo .-aid provision was stricken out,
sti'l the following-provision inserted in its
(.lire:
'Hit* iudlciul nnwAr of thn ITnitml Shit as
shall not be construed to extrnd to any
,-uit in law or equity commenced or prosecuted
against one of the United .States by
citizens uf another .Slate, or by citizens or
subjects of another .State, or by citizens or
subjects of any foreign Suite.
There is in aildition to this a provision
in the Constitution of West Virginia, as
there "is in tiie constitutions of several of
the States, prohibiting a suit against the
State by citizen either of the Stale itself or
any other State. See. Ut? of Art, VI of
the Constitution of West Virginia provides
that
'Tht? Slate of West Virginia shali never
be made defendant in any court of law or
equity."
Our Knglish friends will sec from'the
Constitution of the United Suites that
President Arthur can do nothing for them,
and they will also perceive by the Constitution
of West Virginia that they cannot
hue the State in any of the courts of this
'late.

While the crop reports are very encoura/ing
an respects wheat, oals, grass, potatoes,
barley and cotton, yet the telegraphic
re*i>orts from the trade centres show
that there is some nervousness felt in regard
to the weather for the next few days,
as affecting not only the gathering and saving
of the wheat, but also as afFecting the
corn. There is a great deal of corn that hjis
suffered for the lack of working, the rains
having kept the ground in such a condition
timtthe weeds have about kept pace with
Vutwjrn. The general situation is there
fore now passing through what is called a
critical period. One dispatch says that the
ssitts ar?! eagerly scanned irom day to day.
^' rn i* not progressing since the third of
tlie month more than half as fast as during
the previous week. Too much rain and
t'W many cold uights, is the word that
reaches us from various points. It is not
corn weather.
The business reports r?K:eived yesterday
over t!ie wires show that the various markets
of the country are suffering from the
hesitation of buyers in view of the uncertanties
attending the crops during the next
few days. There is a splendid crop of
wheat on the ground, cut and uncut, if it is
only proj?erly saved. There is a large
aercauf of corn if it ean only be properly
worked, ,and if the ground can only* be
kfj.t at tiie proper temperature. For the
next ten days, from all account?, this nervous
ami feverish feeling in regard to |
tbe crops i.s likely to continue.
It is gradually coining out that Senator
11. il. 1 hi vis is as much a candidate for, rejection
its he was in 1877. Notices to this
tili-ct are beginning to appear in the customary
channels. Here is one from the
Ameri.un lUij'uttr, a paper quite unknown
t'i the country generally, but nevertheless,
aa-onling to the Berkeley Statesman, "the
Idling Democratic paper of Washington."

?] Among the strangers on the floor of the
Senate to-day was John K. Massey, of Vir-1
ginia. Mr. Massey will probably make a!
speech in Alexandria during the current
month, giving his views upon the present
condition of political a (lairs. He announced
himself as a candidate for Congreasman-at-large
to-day, and will publish
a card stating the groumls upon which he
lias done so before the time for tho meeting
of the State Democratic Executive Cnmmittee.
Leading Virginia Democrats in
the city are in favor of giving Massey their
united supi>ort.
Collections under the assessment circular
of the Congressional Committee amctmit to

The clause of the river ami harbor bill J
relating to New ltivcr, ns amended in the
Senate, reads as follows: "Improving New
River, Virginia and West Virginia, continuing
the improvement from the mouth
of Wilson*river in Grayson county, to the
mouth of the Greenbrier $12,000, of which
$5,000 shall be expended between the Lead
Mines in Wythe county and the mouth of
Wilson in Grayson county.
In spite of the apparently otlicial denials
that Minister Lowell's resignation is on file
in the State Department, there is good
authority to believe that his resignation
has been in the President's hands for some
time, and that the only reason that no
action has been taken is to avoid the appearance
of recalling him in what might'
seem obedience to mere popular clamor.
That a change will soon be made nobody
doubts, and Bancroft Davis is named for the
succession.
Postolliees in West Virginia have been
established at Chestnut, Wyoming county,

Washington*, D. C., July 7.?The expected
developments in the .Suir route cases are
uDoutto oecome puuuc. it appears uiat
some time since Col. Bliss, one of, the
Government counsel, took important evidence
before the grand jury which was not
made use of when the indictments found
came to he framed. The nature of this
evidence was not communicated to Mr.
Merrick, one of the Government counsel,
and a lawyer of high character at the bar
of this District, lie has become aware of
the nature of this suppressed evidence, and
intends to bring the matter to the attention
of the Attorney General, ami ask that the
grand jury, which appears to have been
suddenly adjourned until September, be
convened to examine the testimony which
is still available. It is understood that the
testimony taken by Colonel Bliss directly
implicated Brady in the division of Sta'r
route funds; that others of prominent public
position whose names have not yet
become known will be shown to have been
parties with Brady to the transaction.
There is general curiosity to see what the
eHVct of these rather sensational discoveries
ami proceedings will have upon the President
and the Attorney-General, as well as
upon the further management of these
wises before the court. luchard 1. Merrick,
one of the attorneys for the Government,
referring to the general subject, said tonight:
"You may say for me that 1 did
not know anything about the evidence
until a day or two ago. I shall go to the
Attorney-General sis soon as he returns
and state to him that the grand jury, which
has been adjourned until .September, must
l>e reconvened; that this evidence must be
sifted, and if payments have been made
to any United States Senator, or to anv
one else, iudictments must be found.1'
Mr. Merrick had the manner of a man
who was very much in earnest, and, whatever
the reasons for this mysterious iuU
journment of the former grand jury, it is
very evident that, if there is anything in
the'report and evidence, some action will
be taken if Mr. Merrick remains in the
case. Inasmuch ns there are hut three
lawveis for the Government in charge of
the prosecutions, it seems extraordinary
that Mr. Merrick should not until just now
have been made acquainted with the facts.
Neither Mr. Merrick nor Mr. Corkhill has
anything to do with that branch of the
case, which has has been entirely under
Uie couirui ui ueorge miss. lucmsjifuiionui
testimony is understood to come from
John A. \\Taisli, once a bauker here, who
ha* ;i private suit against Bradv. The route
as to which the disclosure has 1/een or
will he modu was from Santa Fe.
He is understood Jo have stated
that he received directions from
Brady to pay out the money, and did so,
and that he has the letters ordering the
paymento and the checks with which the
money wo* paid, The money for this
route is supposed to have gone to Brady,
and to a prominent public man supj>osed
to have been a Congressman, not from the
West. The amount paid is believed to
have been $2,000 each. There are two or
three versions to the report, but the facts
charged are substantially the same in all.
Thenewgiand jury will be undoubtedly

Possibly the government may not have
thought the evidence sufficiently good
to found indictments upon. At all
events, the last grand jury was
discharged very soon after thus testimony
was jj'iven, and some of the members
arc repoited as greatly surprised that no
indictments wew found. Jf these reports
and rumors prove to be true, an^l tjie evi

the Government has yet obtained in the

result from a refusal on the part
of UraJy to pay to Walsh money which

J t is to recover this money?soino $50,000?
that the private suit is brought. If is now
on the calendar of the court here.

oiuu, vcinuvu uciuru lilts commission
at its first meeting yesterday ItyJolin I..
Hayes, L L 1)., its President:
tiE.NTi.BMKs: I have tho honor and
pleasure of greeting you us members of the
Tariff Commission, and of welcoming you
to what I trust will he n pleasant association
in useful labors.
You will doubtless agree with me that
this Commission has no other functions
than those provided by law, and that its
essential duties aro defined by the third
section of the act constituting the Commission.
It would be improper for me to anticipate
the conclusion which should be made
I by your collective wisdom by any interpretation
of my own of the law defining
| your functions; but 1 may, perhaps, be allowed
to refer to one phrase in the law
| constituting the Commission, which. I
think, you will agree with me should be
I the key-note of our deliberations. The law
declares that the objective point of our
I labors to tho establishment of a judicious
I tariff, or a revision of the existing tariff laws
I upon a scale of justice to all interests.
I A. radical or subversive change in the
present general economic policy of the
| country is virtually interdicted, and a juulicious,
not a revolutionary tnritr ?
Ision, not a destruction of existing tantl
laws, is declared to be the object to which
our labors should conduct'. It is in the
uatueof justice that an eminent statesman,
who is the ablest opponent of the theory
upon which the existing tariff laws
are based, and whose relations
to constitution of this Commission
gives greater weight to his words, has recently
disclosed in his commemorative
eulogy upon Daniel Webster that "no adjustment
of the taritflaws which overlooks
the system of taxation under which capital
for several generations has been invested,
and labor induced to apply its powers to
special pursuits, will be either just or
wise."
I have said this Commission has no
other functions than those expressed in
the law. But there is a paramount and
implied condition in all service to the
State, liamelv, the obligation to regard the
interests of the nation or those all-embracing
benellts summed up in the words
"national prosperity."
Who will say that we should not keep in
view the attainment of the highest {>ossible
material life for the nation; its security
in times of war implying both its means o'f
defence and industrial independence; its
position among other nations; its acquisition
of all the arts which fortify, enrich,
and adorn its attractiveness for
the skillfd labor of other lands and the
comfort and means of support of all its
jveople ? Iu Uie revived life of the nation
since the healing of the wounds of its late
division patriotism is fast supplanting sectionalism.
By making the national interest ^paramount
to those of section, class, or "industry,
we may also find a eolutioti of many
questions of opposite, individual, sectional
interests, an?h may avoid many
difficulties bv remembering, while not
unmindful of justice to existing interests,
that protective duties should be imposed
or withheld, not for the benefit o( individuals
or special industries, but for the
good of the nation.
1 have said thus much, gentlemen, only
that I might expreks my own sense of our
high obligations and grave responsibilities
to Confess, for which we are the instruments
of investigation. 1 should encroach
upon your prerogative?if I have not already
"done so?if I should enlarge further
upon the duties before us. I shall occupy
your attention no longer, ils the time at our
command, and its mast diligent improvement,
will be required for the fulfilment of
the imperative obligation for the completion
of our labors at the time fixed by Congress,
and I now await your action for the
commencement of the practical work of the
Commission.

Autopsy <?r Budy.
Washington, July 7.?Dr. Hicks writes
Dr. Limb: "I am sorry there seems to be
any soreness, but every person who has
any knowtedge of such matters must know
that the cool head and deft hand of the
examiner and operator who conducted the
autopsy should be free from contention,lest
the truth suffer at the hands of assumption."
District Attorney Corkhill authorizes
this statement:?"Dr. Limb overstepped
the bounds of professional courtesy when
he ignored the two professional gentlemen
selected as his colleagues in the work of
making the autopsy."
Dr. Hartigau makes this statement: "On
the day of the execution, under the gallows.and
while the body was still suspended,
Rev. Dr. Hicks sent Dr. Sowers for me,
to be introduced to him, and there
with his baud resting on my arms in
the most solemn manner and with
considerable emotion the reverend gentleman
told uie in the presence of Dr. Sowers
and D. C. J'atteriou, Coroner of the District,
and for aught I know others, that
this autopsy was in charge of mvself, Dr.
Limb and Dr. Sowers, wfio were
invited to be present, which request
he wished to be sacredlv observed, and
that in addition we might invite others who
J would be agreeable to us to witness the
autopsy. 1 respectfully submit, in con'
elusion,after Dr. Hicks made theagreement
whether be bad a right to alter it except by
the mutual consent of the parties to the
agreement, and also bow can he reconcile

Washington, July 7.?A correspondent
called on the British Minister and.inquired
of him whether he had received any instructions
from his government upou the
subject of a proposed co-operatiou of the
British Govornment with that of the United
States in an effort to revise the laws regulating
immigration. Mr. West said that be
had noticed the reply of Mr. Chamberlain,
President of the Board of Trade, to a question
in Parliament in which it was stated
that Lord Granville had been requested to
instruct him on the subject, but up to this
time he had not received any other infor
mauon man tnai eonveyeu in the newspaper#.
lie presumed tliat Lord Granville
would communicate the winhes of the government
as soon as they had been decided
upon. Mr. West thought that the laws of
the two countries eouid be made identical
with great advantage to passengers and
steamship companies as well.

last night at dark no additional bodies were tin

Up tft eight o'clock the bodies of
Willie Ewing, of Wellsville, Ohio; Ed Co

of Eaat Liverpool, Ohio, and John Tomlin- jjj
son, of East Liverpool, were recovered. A '] [,
diver from Cincinnati was brought here nis
this morniflg by the owners of the Scioto, Pu
and is now making a thorough examiuation
around the wrecked boat gU]
Around tlic boat outside has l?een sni
thoroughly searched, and nothing so far . J
but a pair of shoes has beeu found. Arrangements
have beeu made to search the ,|n
boiler deck and the interior of the boat, em
when, of any bodies remain in these parts, jht
they will bfe recovered. The bodies found nl
this morning were caught by grapplers ,Uc
from one to two miles below the Scioto, at liei
George's Eddy. A large number of skill's ^r
are down it that point, where a force of mmen
with hooks have l>eeu grappling ail pei

number over seventy. There is hut little oor
hope that tlieloss will fall short of 100.
The scenes at the wreck aro distressing.
The frieuds of the missing ones are here
day and nijjht, and the agony they sutler
as a swollen corpse is brought to the shore
for recognition, cau only be imagined. *
The bodies, as fast as claimed, are taken to of
SteubenviLle for boxing. All trains ar- gaj,
riving here bring large crowds from the >
adjacent towns. It is the purpose of the "
owner of the Scioto to examine the
wrecneu uoac 10 ascertain whether the | an
sunken vessel will be raised or wrecked. aijC
The captain of the Scioto yesterday turned *? .
over the vessel to the crowd. They hoarded *
her ami it was utterly impossible to pro- "10

results would have been better. S1"!

On the Chuh'h tlmt Hroutht About the ^rc
Disaster to Ibc Scioto. enc
Pittsuckgii, July 7.?A very interesting for
interview was had this morning with WSLDavid
Alexander, one of the pilots on the j^rr
steamer Scotia and one of the best nnd j0f,
shrewedest pilots in the profession. The and
Scotia passed the scene of the .Scioto disas- hav
ter at Mingo yesterday afternoon, and Mr. ?? 1
Alexander savs that the work being done
by the owners of the Scioto, who an; at the S
wreck with the steamer Welcome, towards rial
recovering the dead bodies isal>outall that last
could be done under the circumstances, on
They were cutting the decks oil', and all abo
the dead that are in the deck-room will ubo
probably* taken out to-day. Divers could Joh
not be procured nearer than Cincinnati. wif(
As ta where the blame should rest fori
Mr. Alexander declined to express an iu a
opinion, further than that from his intimate
kuowledge of the river at the baj(
point where the collision occurred ilm
be thought the Louisa bud no right His
to whistle for the right side, as she is re- Car
j>orted its doing; the universal custom of tern
ascending boats is to hold the course that shot
be understood the Scioto did, but, head- won
ded, the pilot of the Scioto erred, beyond ovei
all doubt, iu not stopping his boat" and ate:
getting Iter out of the way while he yet had mor
time. Ah to the merits of the pilots, he seyi
said the pilot of the Lomaa was the oldest of*s<
living pilot, and was unquestionably too has
old to perform his duties, and besides be- beli
ing superannuated he was dissipated in
his habits. About Keller, of the Scioto, he
was very well acquainted with him, anil "\\
considered him a good pilot. He said it of 1
was not true that he had been off the river first
until he had gotten rusty, bat that he had this
been ut work on some of the little Wheel- .(oh
ing tow boats right along and was in good No.
practice, As to the cause of the collision Mr. job

due to the change of signals. The vjct

plained the working of the rule in this but
way: the descending lwat must whistle anv
first, and the rale says it should be done bro
when the bouts are not less than S00 yards thii
apart, and if the ascending boat don'" like Ivb
o course indicated, she tntibt sound the
mger whistle ami get out of the road,
d there is where the danger lien, it being
quently impossible to get out ot tho way

making the descending bont tho solo
tyaof tho course to be pursued is ex
lined in.this way: The ascending boat
ualty* goes ko much slower than tlie deeding
one that when tlie sigual is
unded it must necessarily l>e very near
u point at which they will pass and .
0 pilot on that boat can readily

lot's decision there is no appeal, is so far t
ay that it is very hard for him to tell
it at what point they will pass; this is :
rtlcularly true after night when the pass

vboat, ami it is imtwissible to tell the *
araetor and 8j>eed of the coining boat,
til the whistle is heard. Mr. Alexander
id the old system of signals amounted to
liscussion between the pilots, by means
the whistles, whereby valuable informan
and opinions were exchanged aud it
is only in very rare eases of stupidity or
ll-headedness that there was danger of
llision. 1 le thinks there have l>een more
in double the numberof collisions un,der
* new rules than there was under the
I, and the pilots in nearly every ease of
ilision that has occurred have "declared
der oath that tho new rule waa the cause

Washington, July 7.?The House wont
nto n committee of the whole on the Sunlry
Civil Appropriation bill, the debate to
dose at 2 o'clock.
Mr. liuttcrworth, of Ohio, made a?i>eeeh
u reply to Bavne's criticism of the present
idministnition. The Executive, he said,
leeda no champion, it was ito own chain ion
anil its own defence, llis friend from
'ennsylvunia (Day no) in the exuberance
>f his soul in criticising the administration,
?ad commenccd bv landing (and very
iroperlv) the late President of the United
States, standing by the tomb of one,
'The deep damnatiou of . whose takng
otr." oppressed ever}' one.
Criticised and pursued on the one hand by
nen praying he might be unsuccessful, on
he other by men who hoped he would atempt
to achieve success by dubious
neanfs the present Executive had walked i
orward to the performunco of his high
>tlice in a manner which ought to comnand
and did command the admiration of
ight thinking men every were; (Applause
?n the Republican side,) neither swayed
rom that dircct line by those
vho would have him " incline '
0 their personal opinions, nor would be ]
nfluenceti by the unfriendly criticism of
hose who seemed to regard him as the tin- ]
ineal hand which suatched the 'sceptre
rom their grasp, he;hnd conducted him- ;
elf patriotically in the honest and sincere j
liacharge of the duties devolving upon j
lim. People would judge of the 1
ourse of the administration as it J
e'.t its impress upon the country's
tistory rather than by the degree in which
1 happened to interfere with the public
ir private ambition of any man or any set j
if men. The gentleman from Pennsylvania '
Bayne) had said truly that President Gar- ;
tela was law-abiding, and that the present
ecupant of the Presidential chair was an
xact antipode 'of what (Jen. Garfield
could have been. If that were true the :
Vesident should be impeached for mal- J
easauce in his office.
Mr. Butterworth passed on to the qtiesion
of Presidental removals and appointuents,
and incidentally eulogized the ad- i
ninist ration of President Hayes. It was
he freedom of that administration from |
lorruptiou that has given the House of ,
{epresentatives to the Republican party. ,
t was its freedom from corruption that .
lad swept the Republican nominee tri- ,
imphantly into the Presidential chair. ,
The gentleman lrotn Pennsylvania (Mr. J
Jayne) had complained of the exercise of ,
he appointing power of the President in
'ennsvlvania. There were in that state ISG ,
iresidential appointments. How many ;
lad the present Executive made? One
luudred? no; seventy-live? no; fifty? no;
wenty? no; ten? no. lie had made five
iut of the one-hundred and eighty-six,
wo of them for cause.
Three Postmasters were removed, two of
hem for dishonesty. [Applause 011 the
Republican side.] New York had been <
uesented before the country as containing i
. mat's of official heads. Of 27G Presidenial
api?ointments in that .State the I'resilent
made five changes, and two of these '
entovals had been for cause. Jfever in the
listory of any administration from th.it of
ieorye Washington to this hour had there
teen more considerate regard for the pubic
service, so far as disclosed by public ,
ecord. And yet the President has been
irraigned as if he oulv lived for the pur- .
iose of perpetrating designs and schemes \
11 some malcontents. !
Mr. Bayne inquired whether a single !
'resident before Jackson had made a
ingle removal from office without cause. '
Mr. Butterworth?Oh, the question is as (
0 what was sufficieut cause.
Mr. Fisher,of Pennsylvania, called at ten- 1
ion to the remark in Bayne's speech of
esterday, criticising the "Pendleton" bill, !
leeause it fixed no tenure of office, and 1
ontrasted that sentiment with hisuctiou '
11 oppasing the bill limiting the tenure of '
nternal Revenue collectors.
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, asserted that
ti over one- third of the States in the Union ,
ot a single removal from office had been
lade. ]

In reply Mr. lluttervvorth made an alius>n
which is not of a natftre tit for publicaon,
and which was characterized by Mr.

ijuently an etibrt was made to have the

as accomplished, though not until a de- jj
ite had gone on for some time of such a .
laracter as to lead Mr. Money (of Mississ- "
pi) to suggest to the Chair to request the k
dies to retire from the galleries. j(
Mr. fiutterworth concluded his speech ^

Mr. IJayne said he had endeavored to 1
ow yesterday that tlie removals made by U]

aween the late President and the present

ery where had been in response to the deands
of public sentiment while president,
r. ,\rthur, instead of responding to the
rmanduor the people, was responding to S

the chief teature. The clearings for tho
week (estimating Saturday) are $53,000,000,
and one day was a holiday, while another
was a holiday on the exchanges. On
the stock exchange there has been a steady
increase in' the transactions in railway
stock, and it seems likely to become universally
known as a central trading exchange.
General trade in the city has
been fair, hut without any distinctive teature
except an increased activity in staples.
In groceries there is an unusual firmness
in sugar, ami more life in the dry goods
business.
Accounts of the condition of crojo continue
to be, except in isolated cases, of the
m6st encouraging character. The growlers
are far less than usual. "Wheat particularly
has been favored with tine weather,
but the period is most critical, and a few
days ol wet or muggy weather in this belt*
would now bring about a revolution in the

feriously ell*ect the crop, has been one of
the causes for the advance, though it is
conceded the supply in the country is
small. The Hour market was slow during
the entire week, but prices hardened and
to-day the market clawed linn at the ruling
prices ot the week. Provisions are again ?
iiiuherand the market closed in sympathy {
with the western market, and a further ad
vance is expected.

'Jd, has caused much apprehension of a
seriously adverse effect upon the growing
corn, but.as there has been a cessation of
win the chances of injury to the crop are
lessened. Meantime the cool dry weather fci
is utilized to the fullest extent to gather the
wheat crop. Everywhere the re|>ort cornea \
that this crop is abundant and good. A
week or ten days of continued good weath- V
<?r will enable the farmers to have it all
wired for. business continues dull, though .
perhaps not more so than is usual at this I
*?ason of the year when so many are ab- >
sent at summer resorts. Provisions are de- t
nidedlv stronger and higher, pork having (
advanced to $23, and lard to $12 75, white ^

lirni feeling as to wheat and barley, while \
lorn has advance*,! at an astonishing rate, ;
selling to-day as high as 82c. \ .
