WASHINGTON, May 7.—On motion of Mr. In- | galls, a resolution was adopted calling on the | | resident to communicate to the Senate what | mesures have been taken to prevent the occu- | pation ot the Indian Territory by white settlers. | The House bill to prohibit military interter- | ence in elections wus read twice, and,by a vote of 24 ueuinst 21, the Senate disagreed to the motion ot Mr. Edmunds to refer it to the Com- mittee on the Judiciary; and then Jail it on table to bo called up Consideration was then resuined of the resolution asking for authority to tuke tes- in the contested case ot spofford remarks in support ot hetlogg’s right to the House. Chalmers called up, privilege, the resolution investigation into his conduct at Fort Pil'ow. He said his friends had pointed cut to him the. diffleulties in the way of such an investigation and that he himseif recognized the danger of rekindling the flames of passion and prejudice which all good men desired to see covered up iu their ashes, but it was a herd ething to as 801 diers who had lost all save hon or to permit that ulso to be taken from them by the repetition of accusations that were utterly untrue. The action of the House yesterday bad, however, satisfied him that the gentlemen were not willing now to goiuto an investigation, and therefore ne had cencluded to accept the advice of his friends and make his own statement. He then parrated the incidents of the ateack on Fort Pillow, in which attack he had been early in the day in command of the Contederate caval- ry, but ubout 9 o'clock in the mo-ning Gevernl Forrest had arrived and taken tie command. He admitted a number of the gariisom making a rush for the unbont had been fired at and killed, ut if any had been killed in violation of the usages of war af most searching examination on the part of tLe Congress committee had been unable to fi any responsibility for it, at least on the general officers in command. He denied any wounded men had deen bur neu up in the quarters that had been set on fire the morning after the capture of the fort. He asserted that 40 cent of the garrison were saved wholly untouched. A part ol the Federal troops had ret out ot the tort, and near all ot these were killed or wounded, but a large namber of the garrison, mostly white men, a ro mained, and they had thered urouud General Forrest and himself for protection, and ha een protected. As t the Confederates taking advantage of the flag ot trnce in order to gain a better position, that statement was not true.

This merely increases the mystery as to how the uverage member, with no visible means of support, manages to live at the rate of 810, 00 a year and to accumulate a hand- some fortune out of his per diem. Tunis is the capital criticism of Mr. Conkling’s recent speech by the Spring- fleld (Mass.) Republican: At the opening of his third term in the Senate, he rises tosay, with all the weight that his past record can give, that New York cannot keep the peace within its borders on election day, unless Federal troops aid the civil power.. The public peace, the peace at common law, the ‘‘peace of the people of the State of New York, by the grace of God free and independent,’’ which every indictment read in its courts recoznizes—this peace Sen- ator Conkling says cannot be kept without a standing army. He says more; he says that the voters of the State of New York, 800,000 in number, one-tenth of the voters in the Union, cannot have a fair election, are not able to have one, without Federal aid. Mr. Conkling does not declare Federal aid desira- ble: be declares it necessary. If this wore true, we should be forced to despair of the republic; but it is not true; and as between Senator Conkling and the republic, we prefer to despair of Senator Conkling. AFTER several preliminary and highly satisfactory trials of its new press, the Republican this morning came forth in all the glory of sixteen pages cut, pasted and folded, a beautiful specimen of the work- manship of the Double Hoe Wed Perfect- ing Press and Folding-Machiue. The paper justly claims that this is the fastest and most perfect piece of printing mechanism in existence, and the claim is justified by the simple statement of its capacity, which is sufficient to print, cut, paste and fold 30,000 complete cight-page papers the size of the Repudican in an hour. It is the first press of the kind ia St. Louis, and the sagacity and enterprise displayed by our comtemporary call for more than ordl- nary compliment. The change makes the in- side pages of the paper as accessible to the readers and as valuable to the advertisers as the outside pages, and adds greatly to the value of the paper. In its enterprise the Zepublican will have the hearty con- will hereafter | | Sumter in 1861? | menced the indorsed, Grant and Logan and all those | powerful | acter, Weare proud | legislator | gratulation and good wishes of all its world of friends, and even its enemies, if it has enemies, cannot withhold their tribute of admiration over the splendor of its ap- pearance. PRECEDENTS IN HISTORY. When Democrats charge that the inter- ference of soldiers in elections is utterly repugnant to the spirit of our free institu- tions, Republicans invariably reply about thus: The regular army is so ridiculously small that it can never become dangerous toa people of over forty millions. But there is a reply to this founded upon history. It is not the number but the degree of the force makes it dangerous. It is the physical, which not invulnerable. matter of physical force alone. great moral force of law which places any ordinary Constable above physical force. Hou much more, then, must this apply to the soldier, who, however blind and machine” like in the obedience of an order at the time, represents the great flag, the great force, the great flat of the nation?

Resistance to the latter-would have meant resistance to national authority, pro- voked national force. And so, like wise and sensible people, one hundred thousand armed men bowed to the decree of Grant and the force of one company of regulars was enough to reinstate the Kellogg gov- ernment. It was also proven by the extraordinary fact that, in spite of all the provocation, there turmoil and trouble of the South since the **! : . Rui. ....

A great many people hd said that Magill had a lease on Uncle Sam fr ninety-nine years, provided Uncle Sai lemaired under the control of th tepublican party, but it has bee nearly feur years since the Babcock trial, au it must not be forgotten that republics ar ungrateful. — Perhaps it is well to refresh the mind of th reader with just how important A PART MAGILL DID PLAY in the Babcock trial. A little detail will b interesting at the present juncture. On February 11, 1876, Gen. O. E. Babcocy the private secretary of President Grant, wa on trial here in the United States Cireu Court under a charge of being a member of tl whigky ring. On that day one of the witness es forthe prosecution was a Mr. Everest, wh had been treasurer of the ring during the la ter part of its existence. Among many othe startling disglosures he detailed THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT In February or Marci, 1875, in the supe: and he gave me a $1,000 package and told u to go to the sub-Treasury and have it change got the two $500 bills and gave them Joyce separated the bills and looke at buth of them, then put the bills in two sey arate envelopes that were lying on the desl me to put in the mail box on the corner I put them in the ba as he directed.’’ Col.

I aské Joyce to describe the letters, and he said wus directed to Gen. O. E. Babcock and dle other to W. O. Avery. I opened the bx, searched among the letters and found IE TWO LETTERS HE WANTED. The witness was then put through anost searching cross-examination, because here Was a suspicion that his testimony was etire- ly too opportune. Magill, however, wanot broken down, and he no doubt wed LDabeock. How many more than Babock he saved the outside world will probably wer know. ‘lhe implication was, of course, hat the very two letters Joyce had asked to hve returned were the two that Everest had puin — box, and the two that contained the 300 ills.

It is ot worth while to speak of the suspicions ad the specniations people indulged in abat Megill, Filley, Babcock and company. Ifs sufficient to say that the partnership, if evr there was one, is now smashed, A reporter of the POsT-DISPATCH went at yesteraay to see Magill and learn the causesf the rupture between him and the Post-offie Department.

From the Ithaca Journal, May 3.) A farmer at Collamer, N. I., named Bost- wick, some little time ago lost his wife, and being a devoted Spiritualist, anxiously waited for a message from her, but none came. The idea that his own taking off was near at hand took possession of him. With this solemn thought in his head he contracted with the sex- ton of the cemetery to dig his grave, paying him $10 for the labor. One day last week he made a trip to the nearest undertaker, and, on paying $90, closed an agreement with that per- sopage to properly inter his bones. On the way home Bostwick fell from his wagon and died, and on Friday last he was buried: — Save Me From My Friends.

They are both determined men and have a large following in both this and the Indian country.

The first he places on the list is the waters in the. harbor of Japan; the second, Lake Geneva, whose limpid sur- face has been limned and traced by the genius of Byron, and whieh was the inspiration of some of his finest poetry; and the third is the charming Illinois of the Indian Ter- ritory.\ From its mirrored surface ob- jects en be brought out with great bril- ianev, jts waters being almost transparent.

The great stock und pastoral! region, the great center of beef supply, must in the future be found in Texas and the Indian Ter- ritory. Base is also one of the fingst agricultural regions in the world. Here are not less than 40.000, 000 acres of land capable of producing thirty-five bushels of wheat to the acre; one hundred bushels of corn; rye, oats, barley and other field products in like proportion, waiting the hand of tillage and culture. Shall this magnificent domain longer remain a sealed Territory, the Paradise of a partial, incomplete, stagnant civilization, or snall the magic touch of labor and progress cause it to bloom with beauty and productiveness? In making our trip we have had some diffi- culty in crossing some of the streams, but altogether the trip has been pleasant and free from accident. e first principal stream that we crossed was the BIG CANNY. This is a magnificent stream, with fine tim- ber along its banks. The nextis Bird Creek. This is a smaller stream, butis well wooded. Hominy Creek, the next that we nete in our course, isa fine stream. And now we come to the ARKANSAS RIVER, a navigable stream for large boats, and very heavily timbered. Here are magnificent mountains, which abound in rich holly, fertile as the will itself. Striking out from the Ark- ansas after a little rest and a good night’s camp, we passed over the prettiest country mortal eye ever looked upon, to the broad, deep, clear CIMMARON, one of the finest rivers in the Indian Terri- tory; then to the Deep Fork of the Canadian, and finally we reached our present terminus, the NORTH FORK OF THE CANADIAN. This is one of the largest and finest streams in the Indian Territory. Rising in the ex- treme northeastern portion of the Territory, it flows in a southeasterly direction about 400 miles, and empties intothe Canadian near Eufala, onthe line of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway. And here we must rest a little. as the courier is waiting for my letter. I have only time to add that there are about 5,000 people, it is estimated, in the new lands, and directed towards them, within the Indian Territory. The Excitement at Chetopa.

AMERICAN ARCHEOLOGY. The Display at the Loan Exhibition. Never in the history of St. Louis has such an interesting and attractive display of fine urts, antiques and curios been brought to- gether as that which is now presented by the Loan Exhibition. Special attention is justly due tothe department of archæology. No exhibit so rich in American archeology has ever been made in this country. Even the Museum of the Smithsonian Institute, at Washington, has no collection so important as this in quality. The committee in charge of the department have studiously labored to avoid confusing the mind with mere quantity and duplication of specimens. The object has been to classify the subject as much as possi- ble and present the best and rarest represen- | tative specimens illustrative of the differ- the exhibit to and ent classes, limiting American archeology, only giving foreign specimens sufficient to show the possible relations between the prehistoric races of this and other countries. Peru, Switzerland, Mexico, Gua temala, Cen- tral America, Denmark, New Mexico, South Sea Islands, Russia, England, among the for- eign nations, and Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky. Tennessee, Arkansas, Michigan. Kansas, California, and other American States have all been brought under contribution to enrich this splendid exhibit. From the noble pottery of the ancient Peru- vians back to the rudest and most grotesque forms of the prehistoric moundbuilders, and the carbonized remains of the Swiss lake dwellers, are specimens of the art conditions existing in these remote periods. ALL DEPARTMENTS OF LIFE are represented. Domestic art in its pottery, stone implements used in agriculture, and the manipulation of wood, bone implements such as needles, pins, awls,sharpeners,and wampum. Rehgious art with its symbols engraved on shelis, painted on pottery and idols, aud wrought in repousse on copper amulets; emblems of stone, such as axes, badges, beads, insignia of various kinds, the arts em- ployed in implements of war and the chase from the rude boulder of virgin rock to the most minute and delicately chipped arrow point of quartzite or pure silicate, ing stones, net sinkers, discoidal stones used in games or ceremoaies. Iluge axes of hematite iron, spear heads of copper, knives of flint and obsidian. Gouges, chisels, planes,hammers, wedges, all wrought with a skill truly won- derful, when we consider that they were made without the use of machinery or steel imple- ments. Trominent m this collection is THE LARGE QUARTZITE IDOL. found ina mound in Southera IIlinois. Con- sidering that quartz stands six in a seale of eight in hardness and has no cleavage, this idol must have been reduced from therock mass by a grinding process with a rock of equal or superior hardness. It is interesting as being a probable type of the people by wham it was made, a conclusion evidenced by the thatthe same type exists in nearly ail the pottery and Images when moulded or wrought to resemble the human form. Still stronger evidence is found in the fact that the form of head @xactly answers all the calls of cranial remains found in the burial mounds of this mysterious people. Not less remarkable is the fragment of an idol wrought from what is known as Miunessota pipe stone, lately found in St. Clair county, I[Winois. This statue was whole when found; broken by a plough, the smaller pieces were carried off by farm bands and only this fragment remains, It is to be hoped that a sufficiency of the pieces may be found to restore the figure to its original form. Another interesting relic is a STONE MAIZE GRINDER found in Southern Missourt, and the exact fac- simile of the same implement described by Clavegero, the early Spanish Divtorian, as ex- isting among tne ancient Mexicans, illustra- tions of which are given in his work on this subject. One of the most remarkable speci- mens is the stone image of a llama found in Ohio. It is the only one of the kind ever found in North America, and of an animal no evideuce of which has ever been dis- covered in this part of the western homisphere. In no department of art manufacture is there greater skill manifested than in the pipes used for smoking. They occur everywhere. cut or moulded from all possible materials, and iato all poseible forms and styles, and often decor- ated with an evident knowledge of the rela- tions of lines, curves and figures, which ia surprising in a rude people. The presence of sea shelis of various kinds and of comparative- ly recent date is suggestive of either extensive intercommunication or vast geologic changes which have forced the waters of the seaa thousand miles away. But most interesting to the eye of science are the forms of the MOUNDBUILDER POTTERY, and the symbolic decorations not only of the pottery by mineral pigments, but also the en- graving upon shells and other articles used for © | ornaments or lir religious ceremonies. The unvarying presence in all parts of the country and under the same conditions, upon pottery, shells, ornaments and amulets, of with the spider or other life forms, typifying religion, and alse of an intereommunication coextensive with the continent.

It is surprising that American science has busied itself so little about these questions. In nearly every city of Europe the high- est intelligence is devoted to archwxology and the broader science of anthropology. Every object, hewever minute, however in- significant, is gathered with jealous care inte the storehouses of science as links in the great chain of evidence which some day or other is expected to solve problems now so wrapped in darkness and mystery. With us these remains are infinite in number, variety, and abound everywhere, expecially in the valley of the Mississippi, where at the confluence of the great water courses these people naturally built their great seats of empire. And yet how careless are we of these precious relies. In the main they are dug up and either scat- tered as novel toys for the temporary amuse- n.cnt of children, or are gathered by small +} ectlators as the objects of a contemptible 1): fc, uliimately finding their way into the ksined sceieties of Europe, where they are appreciated by a broad and scientific intelligence. It is no favorable commentary upon the culture of this country that learned societies thrive so feebly. We must needs al- most blush when we think that little Denmark has one of the grandest archeological muse- ums inthe world. It is to be hoped that the attention which this display has attracted wilt lead to the foundation of a society in St. Louis which will not only be well organized, bu: also supplied with means commensurate with its energies. Many gentlemen who own extensive private collections have signified a willingness to do- unte them to a St. Louis society, and devote themselves to the enterprise of building here agreat central museum of American arehe- olegy, the only condition being that they be placed in fire-proof rooms. It hag been sug- gested that Mr. Crow and his friends make such provision in the newly projected art mu- reum which springs from bis munificence, At all events a society and museum perma- nently founded in St. Louis could in a decade of years gather the grandest collection in the United States, bring to it recognition fromthe great scientific centers of the world, and be a source of just pride to every gentleman of in- telligence and culture.

Both houses of the Municipal Assembly met last night. A number of communications containing contracts and bonds for public work were received from the Mayor for — al by the Council. Also the bond of Henry L. Gaines, Tobacco Inspector; 8 this bond was za communication from the Mayor stating that the bond was filed in duplicate, one to be filed with the State Register, the other with the City Register. A communication from the Assistant City ‘Counselor submitted the report of the ap- praisers concerning the opening of Autumn street from Stoddard avenue to Morton street for approval. Referred to Committee on Ways and Means. Mr. Kebr of the Committee on Ways and Means reported favorably an ordinance to au- thorize the issuance of a number of duplic ite coupons to Eastern bondholders in piace of coupons lost or accidentally destroyed, with cautionary amendments. Ordered engrossed. The same gentleman also reperted recom- mending the approval of the Tobacco Inspec- tor’s bond. e bond was approved of. THE APPOINTMENTS. Mr. De Menil from the Committee on Police said he desired to report upon a number of appointments which the Mayor sent in some time ago for approval. Ile had three reports to make. One was a unanimous report as to ‘certain appointments. The second was a mi- jority report as to the balance, and the third was a minority report as to the same. ‘The unanimous report favored the confirma- tion of the following: John Jecko, Justice First District Police Court. * Sam’) Erskine, City Attorney. D. O'Connell Tracy, Assistant City At- torney. John H. McCabe, Clerk Second District Po- lice Court Louis Spies, Court. Michael J. Courtney, clerk of same. The majoritv report, signed by Messrs. Samuel and Berg, recommended the con- tir mation, and the minority report, signed by Mr. DeMenil, recommended the rejection of the following: Jas. M. Thomas, Court. R. W. Prescott, Prosecutor Carondelet Po- lice Court. Geo. Denison, Justice Second District Po- lice Court. Mr. De Menil, in submitting the reports, said that the committee regarded it as but fur do state that Justice Jecko had been fully vin- dicated by the investigation to which he had been subjected. The unanimous report was first considered. All of them were confirmed by. a unanimous vote except Mr. Spies, Mr. McGrath voting in the negative. The divided report was taken.up. Messrs. Denison and Thomas were eonfirmed, Mr. De Menil voting in the negativ e. When Mr. Prescott’s name was called, Mr. Kehr asked if there was a good reason for Mr. De Menil's objection to Mr. Prescott. Mr. De Menil said that he had been informed that Mr. Prescott was addicted to drink. Mr. Kehr said that this had been contradicted bya number of gentlemen. Mr. De Menil said that Mr. Bergtield, who had retired’ to an ante-room, enlizhten the Council subject, as ne knew all about Mr. Prescott. If Berg- field would say that the charge was untrue, then Mr. De Menil said he would withdraw his adverse report and vote with the majority. Mr. Bergtield came in from the ante-room and said that Mr. Prescott was fit. for the po- sition. and he believed the charge untrue. Mr. De Meifil withdrew his report as relisted to Mr. Prescott, and the appointinent was ecnfirmed unanimously. After adopting the report of the Committee on Public Improvements, recommending the approval of certain contracts and bonds, the Council adjourned. The House. The House met at 7:30 Oo clock with a very good attendance. Communications from the Mayor and As- sistant City Counselor were read as in the Council. A petition was receive fromthe Hildreth Printing Company pr aying for the privilege of putting “the steam boilers of their establish- ment under the publie alley in block 08. sub- sequently Mr. Gerhart introduced an ordi- nance granting that privilege. which was read a first time, and with the petitition referred to the Committee on Public Improvements. The bill fixing therate of taxation was read a second time and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. Mr. Gerhart asked what was the situation of the Seventeenth Ward contes. Mr. Kirby said that the committee had held four meetings and had heard all the urguments and testimony that they pro- posedto bear. He felt confident. that they would be prepared to submit a report by next Friday. Adjourned.

Crisp was standing in Strines’ saloon, conversing with Capt. Dick Robertson, and J. F. Lawler, of Cass county; while they were by Col. S. D. Woods, of this city.

Some mutual hot words followed and Franklin said tbat Crisp bad traduced him upon the street-cor- ners. Crisp denied this with emphasis, and while leaning against the counter his right hand appeared to seek his hip-pocket in such a Way us to alarm Franklin, who exclaimed, Mou are armed, are you?’’ Crisp threw up his hands and answered, No, I’m not. Franklin heatedly answered. Well. you have been traducing me and did it no later THAN YESTERDAY Crisp again denied this and Franklin retorted, ‘*You’re a G—d d—dliar.’’ The gentle- men then grappled and Crisp struck Franklin a stunning blow between the eyes, after which friends were able for à moment to part them, but again coming together Franklin, who had in the meantime drawn a knife, stabbed Crisp in the abdumen, the knife blade penetrating 10 the depth of one and three-quarter inches. A final separation was then accomplished, and although Crisp offered to RENEW THE CONFLICT r with a man whom be called first the assassin of my character and then of my body,. it the latter would throw away his knife, and although Franklin promptly removed his cout and manifested a creat. willingness to continue the combat in strict xccordance with the rules of the Marquis of Queensbury, mutual friends would NOT PERMIT a further conflict. A few minutes later Frank- lin left the place for his office, and was subse- duently seen upon the street. Col. Crisp was removed to the St. James Hotel in a carriage, where an examination of bis wound was made by Drs. Woods and Lewis, resulting in the discovery that it was not dangerous, unless resulting from inflammation, and he wa; then taken tothe Narrow Gauge depot and from thence to his NOME IN INDEPENDENCE. A conversation at a late hour last night with one of the examining physicians leads to the belief that the wound is of a more serious char- acter than at first believed, and, although not of a character immediately dangerous, is not unlikely to become 0. CRISP’S STATEMENT. Col. Crisp was called apes ut the St. James Hlotel, and although suffering greatly made the following brief statement: At the time of the occurrence I was standing at the bar with my friends. Col. Franklin came in and ask- ed me to drink with him. Isaid, No, you arink with me.’’ Some words followed, in which I told him that he had tried to asaassin- ute me in the campaign.

A collision occurred about 10:15 o’clock this morning at the intersection of the Ohio and Mississippi and the indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad tracks near Relay the Depot, Bust St. Louis, which Will cost some company between $2,000 and $3,000.

The property was subse quently purchased by the plaintiff, wno hadthe taxes to pay, and she now sues Mr. Mead for the amount alleged to bave been placed in his hands, The Irrepressible Injunction. ia The interminable *‘Two Orphans“ injune- tion, which a short time ago was a profitable medium of advertising this distinguisned play, is nov in process of tinal adjudication in Cir- cuit Court No. 4, being taken up at an early nour this forenoon. The title of the proceo ing is Sheiidan Shook and Albert M. Paimer vs. Ben De Bar, A. Mchee Rankin. O. H. Van cenhoff, Catharine Rankin, Mary Meyer and Isaac C. Mitchell.

Stockton against the Laclede Gaslight Company, in which Stockton claims $500 dameges, is progressing before Judge Adams. The gascompany éndeavored to compel Stockton to make a deposit of the un. ount of a month’s zus bill in advance, which he declined to do, but was willing to deposit $9, about two thirds of the amount of his gas bill, which he considered met the require- ments of the law. The company then turned the gas off, and Stockton obtained a manda- mus inthe Circuit Court to compel tnem to turn it on again. The company tried to evade the mandamus by various legal methous, and, failing, tinsily turned on the gas. Stockton now sues for damages, which he alleges he sustained between the time the mandamus was issued and when the gas was turned on. Interesting Point Raised.
