THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Washington, March 19.—The
following is the president’s message:
Fellow Citizens of ihe Semite and
House of Representatives:
The failure of the last congress to
make the requisite appropriation for leg-
islative and judicial purposes for the ex-
penses of the several executive depart-
ments of the government, and for the
support of the army, ha* made it neceisa •
ry to call a special session of the forty-
sixth congress. The estimates of appro-
priations needed, which were sent to con-
gress by the secretary of the treasury at
the opening of the last session, are re-
newed, and are herewith transmitted to
the senate and the house of repiesenta-
tives. Regretting the existance of the
emergency, whicli requires a special Ses-
sion of congress at a time when it is the
general judgment of_the country that the
public welfare will be best promoted by
permanency in our legislation, and by
peace and rest, I commend these few nec-
essary measures to your consideration.
(Signed) R. B. Hayes.
Washington, March 19, ’79.
Accompanying the message are
estimates from the secretary of the
treasury, of the money needed for
army and legislative government.
The estimates are the same as those
submitted at the opening of the ses-
sion, with the exception of those
items provided for at that session.
Under the army, the last congress
made provision for the military
academy at West Point, and for for-
tifications and armmament. This
leaves, according to the estimates,
$28,340,500 yet to be appiopriated
for the support anil maintainance of
that branch. None of the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial appro-
priations were provided f r, even in
part. The estimate for these ex-
penses is $16,520,601 91. To these
appropriations are also to be added
the item for court expenses, which
is generally placed in the sundry civ-
il bill, but which was left out ot that
bill at the last session. The esti-
mate tor these expenses is $3,000,
000.

viz: revolutionary claims, private! The following is the resolution of-
land claims and engrossed bills, were | fered in the Senate by Mr. Edmunds
assigned by the caucus to Senators j to-day, in accordance with the unan-
Anthony, Edmunds and Conkling, | imous agreement of the republican
respectfully. The caucus, after
general interchange of views, agreed
unanimously that the legislation of
the present session ought to he con-
fined to the passage of appropriation
bills free from all political legisla-
tion, and Mr. Edmunds was author-
ized to offer in the senate a resolu-
tion to that effect.
SENATE.
Washington, March 19.—Mr.
Hill, of Georgia, presented the cre-
dentials of his colleague, Mr. Gor-
don. He said that the latter was
detained from the senate by sickness.
Numerous bills were introduced.
One by Mr. Eaton to revive the
court commission on Alabama
Claims; by Mr. Burnsides—to reor-
ganize the army of the United States ;
by Mr. Beck—to remove all political
disabilities imposed by the fourteenth
article of the constitution; also, a
caucus. Its present consideration
was objected to by Mr. Saulsbury,
therefore it went over until to-mor-
row.
Whereas, The necessity for the pres-
ent special session of congress has been
occasioned by the failure of the last con-
gress to make appropi iations for the sup-
port of the army and for the legislative,
executive and judicial expenses of Ihe
government for the next fiscal year; and,
. Whereas, The business and other
public interests of the country will be
best promoted by confining the legisia
tion at this session to making provisions
for the objects aforesaid, and by an early
adjournment; therefore be it
Resolved, That all bills and joint reso-
lutions, excepting those for the aloresaid
purposes, shall be referred to appropriate
committees and not reported until next
December.
The vice-president laid before the
senate a memorial from seyeral mem-
bers of the Kansas legislature, charg-
ing corruption in the election of In-
Senators Gordon and Hampton
n <t haying arrived, their names were
tor the present withdrawn from the
committees to which they arc assign-
ed and their places left vacant.
Mr. Saulsbury presented a resolu-
tion asking for information tegard-
itig the treasury negotiations with the
syndicate. Mr. MuTrilf objected and
it went over.
A resolution was adopted respect-
ing a complete indeX’of congressional
debates trom the commencement of
the government to the present time..
Adjourned.
HOUSE.
Washington, March 19.—The
house has under consideration and
discussion the disputed election case
from the second district of Florida.
Mr. Frye moved to amend the
resolution offered yesterday, that the
oath he now administered to Mr.
Hull, of Florida, by providing that
the priina facie evidence as well as
the ultimate right of each contestant
be referred to the committee on elec-
tions when appointed, and that in the
mean time neither he sworn in.
The amendment was rejected, yeas
137, nays, 140. As between the re-
publicans and democrats it was a
strict party vote. As to the green-
backers, Barlow, De la Maytre,
Ford, Forsythe, Gillett, Jones, Kel-
ly, Lowe, Murch, Russell, of Noith
Carolina, Stevenson, Weaver,
Wright and Yoakum, 14, voted with
the republicans, and Ladd, of Maine,
with the democrats. The oiiginal
resolution was then adopted, and the
oath administered to Hull.
Representative Sparks, of Illinois,
a member of the house committee on
appropriations of the last session,
has been authorized by prominent
democratic members of the present
congress to submit to the house at
the first practicable moment the ar-
my appropriation bill, and call for
its immediate consideration. The
bill, as it will he reported by Mr.
Sparks, is identical in its provisions
with that passed by the last house,
and which failed of enactment in
consequence of the incorporation
therein of a clause prohibiting the
presence of troops at the polls on
election day. It is anticipated by
prominent members of the last com-
mittee on appropriations that there
will be little or no delay at this time
in secuiing the passage of the army
bill, including the previous objection-
able clause. It is stated on good au-
thority that it is the present intention
of the former members of the com-
mittee on appropriations, and lead-
ing members of the house to obviate
the necessity of organizing any ot the
regular committees during the extra
session by pursuing the same course
in case of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, which
also failed to become a law at the
last session.
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A T. & P. Detective In the Role
of .a Murderer.
One Man Killed and Two Seri-
ously Wounded.
Wednesday night tire Ward-Bar-
rymoore opera troupe, known as the
Diplomacy Combination, gave an
entertainment at Marshall. After
the performance the members of the
company proceeded to the railroad
depot to take the train bound south.
Woilo wnitlng ill the sitting room a.
fellow named Currie, employed as a
detective by the Texas & Pacific
Railway Company, came into the
room in a beastly state of intoxica-
tion and insulted the wife of Mr.
Barrymooie. That gentleman gave
the rowdy a well-merited thrashing,
and he left the depot, but soon re-
turned with a loaded revolver and
shot Barrymoore, wounding him it
is thought fatally. Mr. Porter, an-
other member of the troupe, who
came to the assistance of Barry-
moore, was also shot by Cunie and
instantly killed. Not satisfied with
two victims, Currie fired again and
wounded a third party, whose name
we could not learn, inflicting a
wound which will probably cause
his death.
Currie was arrested and lodged in
jail.
Currie has been in Denison sever-
al times in the last two weeks and
is well known here. He is consid-
ered a dangerous man, and it cer-
tainly rfleects little credit upon a cor-
poration to have such desperadoes in
in its employ.
We hope justice and the reputa-
tion of the State will be vindicated
by the murdeier being treated to a
“dance upon nothing” at no distant
day.

Washington, March 19.—The
Oliver-Cameron breach of promise
case was continued in the circuit
court to-day, with Mrs. Oliver still
on the witness stand. Letters were
read by General Butler going to
show that she had threatened Sena-
tor Cameron with an exposure of
their relations, and that she would
go to the senate with his child when
it should be born, unless he should
marry her or make some pecuniary
indemnification. These letters Mrs.
Oliver acknowledged as her own.
The witness accused Cameron of
giving her medicine by force, for
improper purposes, and said shj did
not believe he cared whether it kill-
ed her or not. A large number of
letters, written by Mrs. Oliver to
Cameron at various periods during
their acquaintance and intimacy,
were produced and read in evidence.
All of them are commonplace, most
of them vulgar and many indecent.
The cross-examination of the plain-
tiff will continue to-morrow.
