Sevkiiu. of tho German papers seo in tin: Lfslier resolution all sorts of ulterior political motives on the part of Congress. They are undoubtedly unaware that the vote of the majority of the resolution was the only answer for it, and that the resolution did not receive a thought from other Congressmen. A National railroad commission that could and would control the railways in the public interest without embarrassing them in their legitimate operations, would help to a solution of a problem of growing discontent. At best, it is a delicate question, perhaps the statesmanship of Congress is quite to it. If the Democrats of West Virginia could, with the aid of some Republicans, keep the Martinsburg post office at the back of a newspaper which is independent enough to suit their purposes, nobody could find fault with them for trying it on. But that support is already gone beyond recall. The next point is for the Democratic managers to get all the advantage they can by helping to make trouble over the succession. "Gatkin the Cincinnati Enquirer, has this brief, appreciate sketch of Senator Sherman: Sherman is probably the best politician in the whole country, his ambition has always been respectable, if firm, he never liked low servitors. His agents he required to be men he could respect at least for their outward cleanliness and sincerity of purpose. Conkling wants services. Sherman wants citizens. He has never been a low man." Trant with his friends and agents. He probably would neither give nor keep faith with a moderately unworthy advocate. His public intentions have been severe, straightforward, and, as human nature goes, masculine and not unpatriotic. If he had become President, the tone of public life might have been hardened, but would not have been lowered. For a free lance, skotch this isn't very hard on Sherman, nor is it likely to call from the Senator a challenge to mortal combat. In the matter of the Martinsburg Post office, both sides were heard by the Senate Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, and the prosecution did not make out its case. The committee was satisfied that Mr. Evans is a man of good character, and, specifically, that he did not have a hand in the lynching of the colored man or of any man. But the failure to sustain the charges has not ended the cruel war against Mr. Evans; though there is no possible chance for Mr. Winner, he and his friends are determined that Mr. Evans shall not be postmaster. Already a movement is on foot to present another man "in the interest of harmony." If the nomination had wisely been accepted as disposing of the question, there would have been no disturbance of the peace. The responsibility is not upon those who have favored Mr. Evans but upon those who were not content to let the President have his way—who laid before the Senate charges which they had not invented in time to place in the hands of the Executive. Men of an opposing party might have been expected to thwart the Executive will if they had to distract the Republicans from the Karkery county if possible, and to offend the Republican party of West Virginia and has been done in this; but all this was not looked for from Republicans and should not have come from Republicans. The case has overran the lines of Martinaburg and of Berkeley county; it has excited the interest of Republicans throughout the State, and friends of the party and of fair play owe it to their party to let it be understood at Washington that they resemble these unusual and unjustifiable proceedings. The issue as it is now presented involves more than a man and a post office matter at St. Louis. St. Louis, February 22.?Two negroes, John Fields and John Long, quarreled in the latter's house on Market Street this morning, and Long stabbed, killing him almost instantly. The murderer ran to "Four Courts," pursued by a crowd and there gave himself up. The cause of the killing was Field's intimation of the wife. CHICAGO, JULY 8, THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Will Meet and Name a 31st for the Republican Party?The Question of Territorial Rights. The National Committee Meet at Washington, D.C. With Closed Doors. From Our Special Correspondent, Washington, D.C.?February 22.?The Democratic National Committee at its meeting today fixed upon Chicago as the place and July 8 as the time for holding the National Convention of that party for the nomination of President. and Vice President, June 21 was first chosen as the time, but subsequently this action was reconsidered, and July 8 named. OFFICIAL AT THE CAPITAL. The gossip at the Capital, says tonight's Star, has taken a turn which seems to indicate that the old ticket is not yet dead, and that it, or one of its making, will carry the Democratic Convention. Mr. Holman said in conversation today that he thought the majority of the delegates would be in favor of the old ticket, as the strongest that could be placed in the field. "Should," he said, "his physical condition prove equal to the strain, and he will consent to serve, Mr. Tilden will undoubtedly receive the nomination," "Do you think the old ticket could be elected?" was asked. "It could," was the prompt reply. "It would, beyond a doubt, be the strongest ticket that could be placed in the field," "Will it be nominated?" said Mr. Holman. "There is a tradition hanging about St. Louis in favor of the old ticket, but that does not signify anything. Wherever the convention is held, Tilden will get the nomination if he will accept." DAY BY THE COMING MAN. Mr. Elling expressed the opinion that Tilden would not accept the nomination, but that his influence would give it to Payne, he said that he had positive assurance from some of Mr. Tilden's most intimate and devoted friends that he would not under any circumstances accept the nomination. "It seems to me," he said, "that the light of the convention will be a reflection of the past." lies between Mormon, McDonald and Payne, with the chances greatly in favor of Payne. He would be supported by Mr. Tilden and his, while it is doubtful whether he could carry Ohio owing to the condition of the party in that State this year, would give him the "West," and of course the South is for any man who has encountered stamped upon his banner, together with New York, Connecticut and quite likely Pennsylvania. Tilden's strength throughout the country, I think, will be turned over to Payne, Payne and Dorsheimer will be the ticket. WHY CHICAGO WAS CHOSEN And Why Chicago Duels of the Convention Was Charged. From our Special Correspondent. Washington, D.C., February 22.?Chicago has been selected as the place, and July 8 as the time for the meeting of the National Democratic Convention. Only three ballots were taken. On the first Chicago received fifteen votes, St. Louis: Fourteen, Saratoga five, Louisville three, Cincinnati and Baltimore none. After 41st first ballot Baltimore and Cincinnati were withdrawn. On the second ballot Chicago received nineteen votes, St. Louis seven, and Saratoga two. On the third ballot Chicago received nineteen votes, against seventeen for St. Louis. Did not want it in the interest of the convention? The committee before hearing the claims of the respective cities desiring the convention first decided to call it for Tuesday, June 24th. This date was subsequently changed, upon motion of Mr. Hewitt. New York, because the time designated was just in the height of the harvest season. So far as the selection of Chicago is concerned, it has no significance as to Presidential candidates. The city has been chosen because it afforded lavish hospitality to the members of the National Committee, because it was known to be a cool city in the summer and because of its ample hospitality. On the ballot, Chicago received the vote which had been cast for Saratoga and the remainder for Cincinnati. The call for the convention was issued at once.

The Convention was then taken up, and a wide diversity of opinion on the subject disclosed, members favoring that date from the latter part of May to Aldus' 5 h. 15.

The Democrats of each organized territory and the District of Columbia are invited to send two delegates, subject to the decision of the convention as to their admission. All Democratic citizens of the United States, irrespective of past political associations and differences, who can unite with us in an effort to secure a pure, economical and constitutional government, are cordially invited to join in sending delegates to the Convention." The call is signed by all the members of the National Democratic Committee.

The Claim of Mary Washington, the Hero of the War, and Those Who Do Not. From Our Excelsior Correspondent, Washington, D.C., February 22. An effort is being made by patriotic Virginians to have Congress make an appropriation to build a monument to the memory of Mary Washington, the hero of the War, the hero of the War, and the hero of the War. It is proposed to build the monument at the old home of Mrs. Washington, at Fredericksburg, Virginia, a short distance from Washington. Savannah attempts, it seems, have been made to build a monument at the old home of Mrs. Washington, at Fredericksburg, Virginia, a short distance from Washington. In 1858, a subscription fund of $2,000 was raised to begin the work. The money was placed in the hands of some sacrilegious prelates who defaulted, and the scheme fell through. Two years later, Mr. Burrows, a wealthy New Yorker, began the construction of the monument, desiring to leave a piece of his handiwork to his own memory, but he had not gotten it more than two-thirds completed until he financially failed, went to retrieve his fortunes and died. The cornerstone to the monument had been laid impressively under the Begging of President Andrew Jackson, and the old partially built structure stands there yet. But this wasn't all of the unfortunate the citizens of Fredericksburg had in their efforts to secure a monument to their memory. Nine years ago the matter went to Congress, and aid was asked to either restore the partially constructed monument from the ruins war had wrought and time had given, or build a new one. A subcommittee visited the city of Fredericksburg, took memoranda of what was needed, reported favorably to the full committee, and the committee recommended an appropriation, but the session closed and the bill died before it could be reached on the calendar. The structure began in marble, and is sixteen feet high, ten feet at the base, and was to have been surmounted by a large marble shaft seventeen feet high. A large portion of it has been defaced or carried away by relic hunters, principally during the late war. The City Council of Fredericksburg has appealed to Congress officially, and the members of Congress from the Old Dominion are taking hold of it with an energy as commendable as the object. It may be a good many years yet, however, before the monument is completed. KALLEU IN THE HOUSE To be Recalled in the House of Representatives by a Committee. From Our Special Correspondent. Washington, D.C., February 22.?"A bill will be reported by the House Committee on Commerce that will pass, and it will put the regulation of railroad traffic and that of all common carriers. Cars in the control of the Railroad Commission," observed a member of the committee to your correspondent tonight. "Have you any assurance that it will pass the Senate?" I inquired. "We," he replied, "I have. It is understood that the Senate Committee will act upon it favorably. It is not a political measure, and is one in which the farmers and the merchants of the country are all alike interested. It is of special interest to the people of the West and Southwest. You would be surprised to learn that the number and nature of letters which I am receiving every day, almost, on the subject." "Will it break up the pooling of freight and passenger rates?" "It will not state that in so many words, but that will be the effect of the bill. We propose to empower these railroad commissioners with sufficient authority to pass judgment upon railroad and other carrier traffic, and when it becomes apparent that certain parties and interests are being elevated at the expense and ruin of others the favored ones will see their benefactor arraigned in court, and partiality will be made to answer for misdemeanors." THE WOOL TAX TARIFF And the Difference of Belonging to the New York Times. Iron Our Uncial Correspondent. "Washington, D.C., February 22 -?A free trader before the House Committee on Ways and Means was arguing that it was folly to say that woolen goods needed protection. "Why," said he, "I ship clothing made in New York right into the marts of countries from whence we import wool. If we can import wool, manufacture it into "Oh, and chip it back at a profit, what benefit is there in placing a duty upon wool? Do we want protection of that sort? No." "How is that?" I inquired of a wool manufacturer of the East, who stood hard by in the committee room.

An examination of the bodies of the Taylor family found in the Ohio Medical College, mention of last night's dispatch, shows all three to have been murdered, all the bodies showing unmistakable signs of violence. The skulls of Taylor and his wife were fractured, although the body was murdered for money or for the dissecting tables is unknown, but the general belief is that they were killed for the latter purpose. The house where Taylor lived was in a desolate spot half a mile from any neighbor. Among the bodies, James Long, Richard Johnson, Ben Johnson, all colored, have been arrested on suspicion of being the perpetrators of the crime. Marshal Brown, of Avondale, was the means of discovering the bodies of the family and causing the arrest of the four colored men arrested as the murderers. The bodies were received at the Medical College Friday night. Dr. Cilley, the demonstrator, says no knows the men who brought the bodies to the college, but does not know their names, as such business is always done with as little ceremony as possible. He had no suspicion they were murdered until Marshal Brown identified them, and he found their skulls crushed. The colored men arrested are: Not openly known to be resurrectionists, but there has been considerable wondering how any of them supported himself. The investigation begins at Avondale tomorrow. Till: A1UTIC MAKTYEN. Honor to the Deut Herofnnt New York. The Weary March. New York, February 22. This morning the remains of Lieut. DeLong and his comrades were taken from the Brooklyn navy yard by the tug Miss, to the Battery, where the bodies were placed in hearses and the procession formed. The procession consisted of naval officers and band, a battalion of marines, hearses, the survivors of the expedition, several regiments, of militia, battalions of regular troops, carriages containing invited guests and various civic societies. Among the prominent people in the carriages were Senator Warren Miller, the Chiefs of the Naval Bureaus, Major General Hancock and Secretary Lincoln, the Russian Minister and Consul General, Postmaster General Gresham, Secretary of the Navy, Mayors Edison and Low. The procession moved up Broadway and across the Brooklyn bridge to the navy yard, where the bodies will be in state today. The day was observed by a general suspension of business, and the flying of the flag in the harbor and city at half mast. The SUARE FOR THE DEAD. Lieutenant William Schuch, who, with Lieutenant Harber, left New York on Feb. 4, 1882, to find the Jeannette's dead, gave an interesting account of his search for the bodies. He told of his efforts about the Lena river, how the and his comrades built a schooner 51 feet long by 6 feet beam called "The Searcher," and how the officers and men took their four hours' watch at pulling the vessel like canal-boat mails on a stony shore that worn out their boots. Lieutenant Schuch related how they traveled by dog and reindeer. Sleds alone three thousand miles. Sometimes the sleds could make over one hundred miles a day. The rider had to be driven comparatively moderately. The lieutenant and his comrades, after they found the bodies within ten miles of the mouth of the river Lma, drove night and day, stopping for nothing except to eat, until they reached Irkutsk. At that place the people welcomed the party with marks of respect. The rest has already been told. DISPOSAL OF THE REMAINS. The body of Collins was later taken to the armory of the Oph. regiment, this city. Tomorrow morning there will be requiem mass in the Cathedral, after which the body will be placed on board the steamship City of Chicago and taken to Ireland. The other bodies will be taken to the Church of the Holy Trinity, this city, tomorrow, where services will be held. This is a significant event that has been a significant event for the community.

THE BRITISH SURRENDER TO KAR, And a SUFFICIENT of the Soldiers Escape in the Night. High Prices of the Rebellion in the Constitution of the United States. The Times has an explanatory report, which has just arrived at Suddin's report that the commander of the garrison at JTokar sent a flag of truce to the rebels on Tuesday, that a conference was held on Wednesday, and that a conditional surrender was agreed to on Thursday. A large number of the garrison objected strongly against the surrender, and including their objectives overruled, they made their escape from Tokar during Wednesday night. The terms of the agreement have not yet been learned, but it is believed the surrender was made on the condition that the lives of the garrison and populace be spared, and that a boy be allowed to make their way to Japan. A COMMISSION ON THE NEWS. A ministerial conference was held on the part of Tokar. It was short, and an administration was taken until tomorrow, attending the receipt of further confirmations. The Secretary of State for War afterward was in consultation, though the war office with the Duke of Cambridge and General Wellesley, Adjudant General. It is reported General Wellesley advised that the campaign be continued against him in order to prevent rebels from marching north upon the frontier, and that a detachment be sent to receive the garrison at Kassala.

HINUAKI H\S ui'i'imTUMiy ft Writ IiIm Ni>Ic<mi at ilio (Ntniitry a Which Robins Ilii, Co-corjitK if London, February 12?The Times in an article upon the Leakerer incident says: "At last Bismarck has obtained an opportunity to show his dislike to the country which eventually rob him of thousands of copies. Congress was ill advised in sending the resolution; Bismarck was ungracious, in returning it. Granting, however, that Bismarck was right in refusing to raise Herr Linker, his organs are vigorous in reviling Minister Sargent. The latter has only obeying his government, and this is no reason why he should be held up, in defiance of international courtesy and almost of international law, to the contempt of the German people. It is said that Sargent is hardly caroling enough of forms and ceremonies to please a court so formal as it is."
