Washington special: Speaking of fartuilo
suffrage and its effects in. Wyoming, ox
Delegate Post says: "Tho right of siiffrugo
was originally extended to women ns a

It served that purposo admirably. I think
Wyoming became better known in a shorter
period thnn any territory in tho United
Stntes. Though the public discussion was
opposed to the experiment at first, having
strong prejudice against tlio innovation, I
now licliovo it has been a good thing. The
saloon element in politics lias been entirely
eliminated. Tho women took great inter
est in tlio election. They no longer caro
anything about holding olllre, but they are
(archil In their discrimination and select
tho best inon generally. Tlio women aro
not likely to voto for anything that will
tend to lower or degrade their husbands,
and tints the whole tone of politics is ele
vated by participation in tho rranchi.se."

THE FORTl'-NINTII CONGRESS.
A Hecord of I'mceedlnst In Ilodx
Ilrniit-licn of tlio Same,
Skvath, March 10. Alter routine busi
ness Morrill nddresscd thoscnato upon the
Edmund's resolutions. Ho was followed by
Cullom, who said tho refusal of tho attor
ney general to furnish pivpera called for by
tho senate was a denial oi the right of the
senate to inquire into tlio management ofa,
public olllce. Tho attorney general was an
ollicer of the law. His duties wcro defined
by law, nnd it wns hlfl duty to obey tho
law, whether it cost him Ills otllco or not.
The prominent fact wns that when cither
branch of congress had called for any in
formation it had usually been furnished,
nnd that in exceptional cases in which it
iiad not tiie refusal was not based on tho
constitutional picrogativcof tho president.
When tho president suspended Duskin ho
did It under the tenure of olllce act. So tlio
ense stood that tho president proposed to
obey tho law in sotting men out of office,
but questioned its constitutionality when
tho senate, under that law, said it had a
nght to Inquire into his net of suspension,
nnd, to do that intelligently, it needed nil
the papers on file. Tho president used the
law in suspending men from olllce, nnd
then, in a volunteer mcssago, intimated
that the senate was attempting toinlcrfeto
with Ids high and niiyhty prerogative as
chief executive.
I To car, March 1G. Under a suspension
of tho rules tho bill was passed tor tho clos
ing of tho business of tho court of commis
sioners of Alabama claims. The senate
bill was passed authorizing tho comptroller
of tho currency to permit the receiver of
national banks to uso trust funds for tho
purchase of property upon which tho bank
liolds a mortgage or other evidence of in
debtedness. Jiland, of Missouri, under in
structions from th committee on coinngo,
weights and measures, moved to suspend
the rules nnd adopt tho resolution making
house bill 5,000, "for the free coinngo of
silver," tho special order for Saturdays, the

others. Tho report of tho committco was
agreed to and tlio houso went into commit
tee of the whole on the Indian appropria
tion bill. Wellborn, in closing tlio debate,
Biiid that tlio history of tho Indian policy
was a dark record of broken treaties,
fraudulent dovicea and treacherous prac
tices. Tho government had entirely for
feited tho conlidcncu of tho Indians. When
ho reflected that tills mighty domain
reached from tho great lakes of tho north
to the southern seas and covered tho vast
extent between tho two oceans, when he re
flected that this vast imperial territory had
been wrested from tlio Indian race, ho was
filled witli amazement that tho gentlemen
complained that the government was deal
ing too liberally with tlio Indian.
Sknatk, March 17. Soveral messages

SHOT DEAD IN THE COURT HOUSE.
Tim All'.tlr tit Carrollton, nils., Ir.
Wlilcli Ten Negroes Wcro Shot Head
by a .Hob.
A special from Winona (Miss.) gives the
following particulars: of the circumstances
leading to tlio tragedy enacted at Carroll
ton, Miss.: Some months ago Robert
Mopro, a voung inan froni LeFloro county,
went to Carrollton. Tliero ho met Ed
Ilrown, (coloicd), with whom he had nn
altercation, and "tho nero smeared nnd
poured on 1dm molasses which ho carried
ill a jug. J. M. Liddell, jr., of Greenwood,
a friend of Moore's, happened to meet with
Ilrown nnd made some allusions to his
trentment of Moore. Drown gave him Jin
pudenco nnd Liddell stnr'cd nt him, but
was prevented by bystanders '.rom attack
ing him. Tlio negro then wont out nnd
armed himsell and induced others to do
likewise. They stationed themselves on
the street, somo concealing themselves be
hind trees. When Liddell emtio after sup
per from the hotel he saw them a;;'.l nsked
what they meant, whereupon Ed Brown
responded that it was none of his damned
business. At t hut Liddell struck at Ed
lirown witli Ids fist and Ed and Charles
Ilrown, his brother, both simultaneously
fired upon Liddell, ono ball striking on tho
elbow of ids right arm. About this time
some fifteen to twenty shots wero fired from
different quarters. Liddell pulled his
pistol and hit Ed 15 r own in tlio
abdomen and received ono shot
in tho II shy part of his leg. Chas. Ilrown
was shot in tho shoulder. Tho parties wlia
hnd taken part in i ho affray wero taken
beforo Mayor Forthwith, received an exam
ination nnd wero bailed to appear beforo
the next circuit court. Throats were con
tinually mado by the Ilrown brothers that
they would have" Jim Liddoll's blood and
further that they had live doublo-bnrrelod
shotguns loaded seven fingers deep and
would "kill the first man who put his foot
on their ground." On tlio 12th insta::t
they made mi affidavit against James Lid
dell and others, including some of tlio best
citizens of the place, and men who know
nothing of tlio dilliculty. charging them
with assaulting with intent to murder in
'ho previous dilliculty. Previous to tho
opening of the trial yesterday Ilrown
boasted on the street thnt ho hnd his body
guard, and would sliuo: the first man that
made a mot on in his direction. Tlio case
was called nt noon, when the court house
liuincdintely was filled with negroes, who
stationed themselves around and about tlio
lirown brothers, Tlio attorneys wero pro
ceeding witli tho ense, when there suddenly
nppored about one hundred white men, nil
well armed, ivrcoiving their entrance, lid
Rrown drew his; istcjluud fired in the direc
tion of Liddell, wl;o was between his nttor
iieys, nnd tho firing became general. Ten
wero Instantly killed anil two others ha vo
since died. Somo escaped by jumping
through tho window s, a distance ol nt lenst
twenty feet from tho ground. On most ot
tlio dead bodies arms woro found. Tho
room wascompletelyllllodwlthsmoke. Tho
judgo's bench is on tho i orth side of the
room nnd tho benches facing it nro
towards tho south. It is a very largo
court room, with windows nil around.
On tho south wall were counted 135 shot
holes, in tho will of tlio pneuago loading
down the stairs ten shot holes, and in tlio
bench thirty shot holes. Ono shot struck
n northeast window sash and glanced into
tlio wall. Five other shots show on the
north wall from tho direction of tho
benches. Largo pools of blood woro on
tho Hour of tho court room. Tho mob left
as quickly and as quietly as the.v ennio in.
Thi general impre sion is that this wil! end
lurt her trouble, as heretofore a few ol th
negroes killed wero constantly creating a
had reeling nnd led other negroos nonce-
hilly inclined to produce strife between tho
whites and blacks. The good people ot
tarrouon tiopreciuo an tins and regret
that a few innocent colored peopto wero
drawn into mo inss. The following is a
list of the killed: Andrew Robertson,
Charles Ilrown, Ld Drown, Joe I.nnji, John
Money, Simon Lane, Jim Harris. Amos
Matthews, fceott Moore, French Hughes,
Coley Little and Jim Johnson. Fully as
many moie wero injured. .mos .Matthew

NATIONAL CAriTAL UTES.
The hotio commiltco on public lands
considered the bill previously agreed upon
to repeal tho timber culture, pre-emption
nnd desert land laws. A motion was car
ried to report favorably the bill to repeal
the pre-emption law. It was then moved
to rcjiort favorably tho bill to repeal the
timber culture Ian. Strait, as a substitute,
moved that the law bo amended to declaro
tlmt the principle that "once a timber cul
ture claim always a timber culture." Tho
object of this. Strait said, was to prevent
tlio frauds now arising from tlio taking up
nnd subsequent relinquishment of claims
for tho consideration of being entered as a
pre-emption or homestead claim. Tho
committeo decided to refer the matter to
the commissioner of tho land oliico beforo
reaching a final conclusion.
Tlio first annual report of tho bureau ol
labor is completed. It will cover about
COO pages. ' Under tlio head, "Tlio Indus
trial Depression in tho United States,"
Commissioner Wright says: "From tho
observations of the ngents of the bureau
nnd other sources from which it is possible
to form a conclusion, it is undoubtedly
true tlmt out of the total number of estab
lishments, such as factories, mines, etc.,
existing in the country, about 5 percent,
were absolutely idle during 1885, and that
perhaps 5 per cent, more wero fdlo part of
the time, or for a just estimate 7'4 per cent
of tho whole numlwr of such establish
ments were idleor equivalent to idb during
the past year. Applying tiie per rent, ar
rived at we have a total of Sl'JS.OOO unem
ployed perrons in tlio United States in
1885. A million men out of employment
means n loss to tho country of at least
1,000,000 per day, or a crippling of the
trade of the country of .'100.000.000 per
year. It is curious to observe, however,
that whilo tho severity of the depression
caused tlio crippling to the extent of sove
ral hundred millions of dollars per your of
the consuming power ot tho pooplo, tho
volunio of business transacted is not crip
pled comparatively to any such extent."

FRAUDS ON THE FaRMERS.
Tim Agricultural Department Wurns
Them to Louie Out Tor Sivlndlarn.
The agricultural department has issued o
caution to farmers against the designs of a-
lot of imposters who are engaged in a syn
dicato to imposo on them by the sale ot
worthless seeds: There nre reports ot sales
of "hullcss" oats at nn exorbitant price in
certain counties in Wisconsin nnd New
York, thirteen years ago, but tho swindle
docs not nppoar to havo root .in thoso
localities. It is reported on good authority
to havo been imported from Cannda about
1880, nnd planted in northern Ohio, whera
it soon attained a particularly vigorous
growth. It was early exposed, and linn
during five years been driven westward, and
made local incursions south in Kentucky
and Tennessee. Correspondents report tho
nttcmpt to sell this grain at exorbi
tnnf prices in twenty-fio states and the
presence of tho ngents of tlio organized
swindle in eighteen dates. Indiana
makes returns of operations in twenty
four counties, Michigan, sixteen counties,
mostly in tho southern part of tho state;
Illinois, ten counties indifferent parts ol tlio
state. In Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa
agents havo reported at five points, nnd
only an occasional lino foraya has as yet
been mndo in Missouri, Knusas, Nebraska
and Dakota. As the uanio Dohemlan is be
coming soihc.vliat notorious, wo begin to
henr of Australian nnd Russian oats and
other varieties, or the old variety under
other names mny be expected to appear.
Cases nro also reported from innumerable
jinrts of Indiana and other western states
in which "Hullcss Parley" nnd a protended
now vnrietyof wheat bearing fu?hnnmcflns
'Seneca Chief," "Hod Line," etc., nro being
offered for sale at high prices. Tho
wheat is as high as 13 per Imshel upon
tlio samo plan as hns been followed with
the Bohemian oats. It Is not necessary to
know anything of tlio quality of grain
offered on that plan, hb it is understood
that these schemes aro frauds, because iv.
plan which presupposes tiio crop can bo
sold year after year nt tho fcnme price iib
tho seed, when thohilter is twenty or thirty
tinijs tlio ordinary market price ol grain,
manifests a palpnblclackof common sense.
The correspondents of the depattmcnt
fiend repoila of vnriom other frauds that
wcro more or less successful, being practiced
on farmers in different parts of tho coun
try. Agents for the sale of fruit trees, fer
tilizers, stoves, cooking ranges and vnrioua
other articles succeeded in many enses m
selling tlloir wares at two or thrco time.
their value, or getting the farmers' motioy
for things proved valulcss. The devices'
for getting tho farmer's signature to somo
jmper which can bo changed into negotiable
notes and sold for cash uro too nuinerouei
to mention.

acts havo been performed under thcnliasof
Harry Kmerson. At Geneva, IJsleo'e restv
dence, lie, in company with two crooks;
named Larkin and Monalian, wero caught
by a couple of policemen in tho act of rob
bing a dwelling. The officers wcro shotdcad''
in their tracks, and tho crime would prob
ably havo for?ver remained a mystery but
for Ksteo's deiro to attain notoriety. In
order to join asttpposed gang ot cut-throats
bo attompted'to provo himself entitled to
fellowship by narrating ids connection witli
the tragedy in Geneva. Tho members ol
tho gang wero simply dctecti ea t-hndowing
him, and tlio sequel was Estce's arrest for
murder.
Killed by His Sti'meer-.
At Memphis, Tenn., Oil the 17th, E nmri

Crook nnd tho Apnclies.
Information has been received at the war
doiartinent from General Crook which
shows that tho reports recontly received
from private sources describing a meeting
between General Crook nnd Geronimo OU
the border, nnd that Geronimn absolutely
refused to surrender, nnd afterwards fled
to tho mountains, is entirely imaginative,
