Garfield, from the Committee on
Appropriations, lias made a speech on
the subject of national expenditures,
in connection with which an effort was
made to show that it took a long time
to reach again the lowest level after a
war period, and tliat tlie level never
Wits again as low as before the war.
He thought the United States would
reach the lowest peace level in 1876.
when the ordinary expenditures would
$125,000,000, and the interest account
$95,000,000 per annum. Of the pres
ent expenditures, he found 00 per
cent., exclusive of interest, char-gable1
to the war; tlie army and navy cost 14
per cent., and all the other departments
25,l per cent of the gross expenses.
In the English government tlie same
classes of expenditure rate as 38' 33
aud 28)4 per cent, of the whole.

tlie aggregate, and explained that the
statement meant tliat one-quarter of
what the government ought to receive
was lost not stolen, but never collect

It is proposed to set apart certain

Mr. Morton called for tlie regular or
der, the Amnesty bill, and addressed
the Senate upon it. He declared him
self opposed to universal suffrage, and
characterized the arguments in favor
of it based upon sickly sentiment and
spurious generosity. He thought
there was a good deal of niLsappre
liension throughout the country in re
gard to the disabilities now resting up
on those engaged iu the rebellion.
Perhaps it was not generally known
that Jefferson Iiavis and all his follow
ers had as much right to vote as any
man who served in tlie Union army.
He reviewed the history of the Four
teent Amendment, and argued that the
proposition in it authorizing Congress
to remove disabilities by a two-thirds
vote, wits not designated to authorize
the removal of disabilities from a class,
but only from individuals. It seemed,
therefore to be strange, in view of the
Fourteenth Amendment,' to pass the
Amnesty hill, as it came from the
House. He was willing, - however, to
vote for the bill, but he never would
vote for it with the exceptions stricken
out. The disability proposed by tlie
amendment unnntho Southern leaders
was the lust remaining legal murk ot
disapprobation of . rebellion, aud he
could never consent to its removal, be
cause to do so would, be to acknowl
edge that the rebellion Was not wrong;
that it was merely a difference of opin
ion, and that the 'leaders ol the rebcl-
lion have the same right as loyal men
to hold the highest offices of the Gov
ernment. The question of amnesty
had generally been argiled heretofore
on grounds of expediency and experi
ence, but he wished to consider it upon
a higher plan. He thought there was
a great principle involved a principle
ot consistency, of duty to the Govern
ment, and especially a principle of the
greatest importance to posterity. He
did not believe the argument that am
nesty would conciliate the people of
the South.

A strange incident occurred in tlie
court of oyer and terminer yesterday.
It appears that on Decerning 14, Joint
Kenevan and Patrick McCarthy were
tried for the theft of a pocket-book
from Henry Marthaler, a German, iu
Rector street. They were convicted
on the testimony of Marthaler, who
swore jiositivcly to their identity. The
prisoners were brought before Judge
lugraham yesterday for sentence, wlien
two men. who were standing in the
back part of the room, came "forward,
one of them exclaiming loudly: "Them
men is not guilty 1 am tlie man !"
The interruption created a profound
sensation in the court-room, and no
little interest was manifested, which
increased as the men, having lieen
placed on the stand, confessed that
they committed the robbery, and tlwi
the two prisoners awaiting sentence
were innocent. They gave their
names as Edward Mahouy anil George
Williamson, the latter lieing the one
who took the pocket-book, aided and
alietred by his associate, it now ap
pears that Mahony is the uncle of Mc
Carthy, that the real criminals bare
lieen at sea since the robbery was com
mitted, and only lieard of the trial mi
their return in time to prevent tlie
wrongful punishment of their two
friends. They were all remanded in
order that the district attorney may
inquire into the case. A. J. 1 ii'ihiw.

About 3Iaxim Gas AYorks.
A San Francisco correspondent ot
tha Srcramcnto Jiccord makes lhe fol
lowing statesments hi relation to the
operations of the Maxim Gas Com
pany on this coast :
The Maxim Gas Company have lieen
steadily pushing their works in this
State the past few months but have
. Iwen even more unfortunate than the
Atmospheric Company which was
blamed for the printing house and
other tires. Some months ago the
works liehii id fhe Cosmopolitan Hotel
sidoon burned up. Since then, at the
residence of Geo. H. Howard, San
Mateo, and John F. lMyle, Menlo
Park, and other domestic gas works
of tlie Maxim Company have bnrued
up. The retort of the works used in
lighting the -business blocks of San
Ratael took tire alxmt a month ago.
On tlie 10th of Decemiier the worst
accident, however, occurred at the
Maxim Gas AYorks at Watsonville.
The l'ojni oniin says that the first tire
was smotliercd out and the leaks tem
porarily stopped with rags. AYhile the
mechanic in cliarge, Chas. Blair, was
making goxl the damages, the fire
broke out again. The retort for mak
ing the gas is iu the brick building,
with a fire-proof door, and by the force
of the explosion this door was closed
and Blair shut in. "His agonized
scream for help was lieard and the
door forced open, when he was found
terribly .burned about the head and
hands. His hair was burned snug to
his head, and the skin from his right
hand peeled entirely off. taking the
thiger-nails at the same time.
R. J. Williams was also badb. , though
not seriously, burned, aud several
otliers outside, when the rush first took
place, had their lialr and eyebrows
singed." Poor Blair lingered in great
sutiering until the night of the 27th.

I
Attorney general AYilliains.
From the Washington letter of the
State Jonrwil we take the following
iuteresting'ifacts relating to the confir
mation of Judge Williams as Attorney
l.eneral. The consideration shown
ourdistinguislied fellow citizen should
lie a matter of pride for every Orego
niau. "Soon after the nomination had been
scut in, ami after I had closed my let
ter, last Thursday, the Senate went in
to executive session, and confirmed
Attorney iener.il Williams witliout
referring the nomination to . a com
mittee. Tlie, rule is to refer all nomi
nations to a committee, and in nearly
every case where the position is of
great iniorlance tliere is considerable
delay ami much opjwsition ; but in this
instance there was not a single mem
lr of tlie Senate, Republican or Iem
oerat, wlo picstioned the fitness of
.hidjje W illiams for the high and re
sponsible position, and he was con
firmed immediately by unanimous
consent. Xo higher tribute was ever
paid to tli ability, integrity and
statesmanship of any man. President

visited Itini a few evenings ago. that,
when lie was elected President. .lodge
AYilliains was his first choice for At
toriwy Ucueral of the United Mates,
ami tin only reason why he did not
tbeii appoint him was because it would
have created :i vacancy in the Senate
which would have been tilled by a
DeinoT.-it. At the expiration of his
Senatorial term, the President was
embarrassed by the presence of Air.
