THK news from Ireland of the distresKing character. According to a London dispatch, "all accounts agree that the situation in the distressed districts ia becoming extremely critical," which method of oxpre.ssion is intended io convey, by periphrasis, the news that the people in those districts are on the point of actual tleath by slurvation. It would appear from direct reports from the famine-stricken regions, however, that the tlarving baa begun, for a woman brought to the Killarney workhouse on Tuesday, a child wbich had died in her arms of hunger and cxpos-ure, culling in vain, no for tho "throe grains of corn" which never ciinie. The mother had walked forty raWer.

In the senate, the Dayard resolution for the withdrawal of the legal tender quality of -U. taken up-and- Mr.

Beck made- his promised snopch in opposition. He showed that during the financial legislation of 1878 Mr. Bayard offered as an amendment to tho bill then passed tbci identical resolution now pending and it was voted down by a large majority in both houses; in the senate by forty-two to eighteen, six of the forty-two being members of tho finance committee. At that time none of the capitalists of New York and elsewhere who now send gilt edge oeti- tiona to congroFS favoring-tho measure, saw danger in the re-issue of greenbacks. On the contrary, thenr re-issue met with universal approval If any objection was ever tn be made to the power of congress to issue notes in time of peace that was the time to make it Reck continued by expressing a belief that oongrens.

and not the supreme court was under tho constitution judge of what constituted an exigency such as would warrant the issue of notes. Assuming that the war was such an exigency the cousequences of the war had some importance and so long as wo wore taxed for interest on tho war debt and for pensions to disabled soldiers, there were cxiginces requiring the preservation of these notes. This was a scheiuo to make national bank nototheonly avai'able money. He would oppose the resolution of Mr. Bayard until be saw money coming from abroad by other causes than by an accidoatal state of things which may cease at any time.

H. M. Coke obtained the floor, but yielded to a motion by Mr VoorhecB, tliat the senate go into executive sestion. Agreed to, and when the doora reopened the state In the house, Mr. Sparks, chairman of tho committee on railitarv affairs, reported back Por--j ter accompanied with a majortiy report thereon.

Mr. McOook presented minority report. Both reports were ordered printed and the bill made the special order for tho 13th of February. Tho morning hour was consumed by a discussion of ttje bill requiring one-half of the bank reserves to be kept in coin. Tho morning hour expired before a vote on the previous question could be taken.

Tho house then went into a committee of the whole on revision of the After an ox- tended diacussioa tho committee rose and the speaker laid before the bouse various executive communications which were referred. Mr. Dunn, from the committee on public lands, reported back tho bill for the settlement of titles in Hot Springs, printed and reooramitted. Adjourned. In the senate, on the 22nd, I he Hayard resolution was taken up and Mr.

Coke made a speech thereon. Ho said this wa! a very different ouestion from an endorsement of the original issue of treasury notes. Whatever might be thought of the of issuing greenbacks they had been issiied, pronounced constitutional, and formed for many years the principal part of oar currency. They werw' no more questionable than other results of the war. Greenbacks were part of the public debt guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment to the constitution.

He claimed this was a movement in the interests of tho national banks, and said it the banks can got this ri solution pr ssed they can double their isfues. This is thfi groat stake they are playing for. Ho thought there was a joint movement by 1 ome corporations to entirely do- monetize silver, FO we would have only bank notes and gold. After an executive sesson the senate adjourned. In the house, atter some miscBllanco -js business, tonsideration was resumed of the bank receiver bill, and the demand for the previous question was seconded by 100 to 48.

At tho close of the tho amendment, tho only one to be Toted.uDon the barks to keep their coia reserves in ihcir own vaults, was rejected by 33 to 79. Tho question recurred on eiigroasing and tho third reading of tho bill. On tho di the vote stojd 33 to 140 and tlio yeas and nays wore ordered. This vote resulted in yeas, 79: nays, 158, and the bill was killed. Mr.

BiDgleton asked leave to present a petition of five hundred soldisra of Illinois, which he sent to the olerk's dohk to have road. It proved to lie in the form of a rofolution asking for the of the "Weaver" bill, and requesticg roldiors to organize and keep a record of members of congress who may vote against that bill for fu- 1ur3 reference. Adjourned. be auBtained by hearsay a videnoeof thia Gov. Anthony further about the time of tho election ho was approached by E.

0 Dawes, who said he had been sent by Senator Ingolls to interview Anthony, and that if Anthony would withdraw his name and retire from the contest for tho senatorship he would placo the resignation of the postmaster at Leavenworth in Anthony's hands and that Senator Ingalls would use hie influence to secure the appointment of any person Anthony might choose to nominate for tho position. This proposition Gov, Anthony aaid he rejected then and thoro. At tho conclusion of his examination Gov. Anthony, who is now i contempt before tho senate sub-committee Topeka, explained to the nommittee his reasons for this refusal. It was, ho said, simply because he had boon competitor in tho Kansas legislature for the position now hold by Senator Ingalls, and did not believe it a fair and honorable thing to do to come forward and testify in the case until he was compelled to do BO by order of the senate.

This explanation seemed to be entirely satisfactory to tho committee, which then adjourned. UEEKEIl, A DEBFOI. Gen. Adama, of the ITte Indians com mission, was examined at Washington on the 16th with closed doora by the committee on Indian aflfairs. He gave to the committee a story of the cause of the outbreak which puts in a credible shapo what has been suspected by many persona heretofore.

Ho says In his opinion the real-cause of the outbreak at White river agency was owing to Agent Meeker's efforts to plow some ground, and Meeker was continually moving the Indians and shortly after moving them twelve miles said thev must apain move as he wanted to plow the ground where they were then lo oated. The Indiana protested; Meeker threat enod them with troops and said he would handcuff them. Chief Johnson, in. the alter cation, resented the threat by slapping Mefik er in the face, whereupon Meekei sent for troops, giving the Indians to understand that the arrival of the soldiers they would be handcuffed and then moved. It was these threats which drove tho Indians to commit the massacre, says Gen.

Adams. Josephine Mcokcr was present while the testimony was being given. From what is known of Meeker's character a true idea of his despotic Ways can be had. He wanted to dictate as to all the details of the donicstio affairs of tho Indians just as he did at Greeley, Colorado, when he was sent there by Horace Greolcy to start the colony, and which course on his part finally made his departure from the colony advisable. Such evidence as Gen.

Adams gave has not boon given out by tho interior department. THE UTE INVESIMATIOK. William McLeeds, formerly clerk in the Indian bureau of the interior was before the house committee on Indian affairs on tho 17th. Ho attributed the disnffoctiou of the Utes to utter inattention of Oom- misBioncr Hayt to their condition, claims and necefisitios. Loods was before the committee about two hours.

He gave among otho reasons rnd causes for disaffection, the failure of the Indian bureau to send the Indians tho aub- siatence, supplies and agricultural as it agreed to do; the prohibition by the department of the sale of arms and amuuition upon the reservation, leaving them under the necessity to travel ninety miles to obtain the, to them, necessaries of life, as without arms and amunition for hunting thoy wore unable to sustain themselves upon their resor- nishing their supplies to the starving White river Utes, and notice given in two successive annual reports by Indian Commissioner Hayt, that he proposed their removal to the Indian Territory without any mention of any proposition to compRisate thorn for thoir lands, OEN. BKADY BEFOBE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE. On the 14th Gen. Brady was on the stand four hours. He maintained a more defiant air than at tho previous session, and sistod that he had a right to expend his entire in three months if he desired.

His attention was repeatedly called to tho fact that his using of tho larger pnrtian of the appropriation early in the year, would have created a heavy indebtedness for the part of year, which was a ploin violation of th law. To this ho continue I to answer that he was acting for the good of the service, that in thus building up tho Star routes, he had tho full support of members of congrcps. His bearing toward the committee, which was both arrogant and insolent, is doinsr quite as much to prejudice his case as the facts developed, bad as these are. THE niE TALK. On Wednesday, an understanding was reached with the tjtca and all the Colorado delegation, ccoept senator Teller.

Ho did not approve of it. It provides for the removal of the simthorn Utea to Grand valley the western part of Colorado, and of the White river Utea to Unitah. Ouray promises lo bring in the murdereis of Meeker even if he has to kill them first. CmMINAL-lTlKS. WASHINGTON NEWS.

A PILOT DIES ON DUIT. On Wednesday last a pilot on one of the ferrv-boata. plying betwnou Brooklyn and New York, waa found unconscious and in a dying condition juat as the boat waa about to leave the Brooklyn slip for New York. It waa the 8 o'clock boat, and it is estimated that there were 1500 on board, both cabins being jam mod, while a solid mass of paaacngora was gathered at each end the boat, and the drive-ways were filled with horses and wag- ona. The pilot, whose name was White, was carried to the lower deck, where he expired few moments afterward.

Dr. Johnson who was summoned found, upon his arrival, that White was dead, and pronounced death due to heart disease. Had the pilot's death oo carred three minutea later, an appalling tastropho wou Id certainly have lacen the rc- ault, as tho East river ia a dangerous stream and requires great skill in navigating it. POLITICAL MATTERS, A TAUMANV OIROULAIt, Democratic senators and representatives each received on the 14th, in letter form, copy of a salutation from Tammany hall Democrats, which is headed: "Address to the Democracy of tho union, by the regular organ ization of the Democratic party in the city and county of New iork." The address is signed by representatives of Tammany from the twenty-four election districts of New York city, including Augustus Schell, who was chairman of tho national Democratic committee in 1872. The main object ot tho circular appears to be demolition of Tilden as presidential candidate.

They commence by saying; "Tho most exciting state election which has been held in New York for many ia now over. Angry passions were aroused, and tho real issues before the people were not stated with truth by those whoso selfish interests could not thrive in its light." Then follows a history of the Democratic par ty and of Tammany for tho past ninety years, and the address concludes with-tbo following blast: hall Democrats salute their brethren throughout the atate and union, and ask them to stand shoulder to shoulder in the civic ballot c)t 1880, in order that wo may win over again what we won in 1876, and when won to SCO that a cowardlj' railroad lowjcr shall not again surrender tho fruits of vie torv." MAINE. Both hou-'ioa of tho Fu.qionist legislature met according to adjournment ot 9 o'clock on the 17th. Application to congreaa was recommended for aid in repelling tho attempt to oust theFusiouists from thestato house under the decision of It'iic supreme cISurt. Committees were appointed to investigate and report Bomn plan by which they could bo bo recognized as the legal legislature of the state, after which both houses adjourned until Monday.

Republican members elect of senate, and ctmtcstanta of seats therein, who organ- i-icd on Monday, reassembled at half-past two, on Saturday, After prayer a committoo of seven on senatorial votes was appointed, and a committee of five on gubernatorial votes. Answers of supreme court to questions of the Republican legislature were road. The secretary of state refused to give up the guberna- terial returns to the ioint committee. The committee on gubernatorial votes repoitod aa follows: Whole number ot votes, eooaaary to choice, Daniel F. Davis, Joaoph Smith, Alonzo Gar- colon, Bion Bradbury, 261; remainder scateriug for aeveral candidates.

The Kopublican house met at 2:27, Speaker Weeks -in -the chair. The Fusioniat-membera entered, and took the seats they had occupied in tho Fusiim" honse, and were greeted with applause. On motion of OBS, of Both, tho appointed a committee of fifteen, -with Buoh of tho senate as might join them, as a committee on gubernatorial votes. Orders were then pasaod odoptiug all rules of last year and providing that tho house hold one session daily, hogining at 10 o'clock a. m.

At 3 o'clock answers from the supreme court tm were received and read by asaiatant clerk. The houae then proceeded to the selection of two namt to be Bent to tho senate aa gubernatorial candidatra, tho whole roll being called and each member as hia name was called coming forward and and depositing a ballat. As a result of the balloting tho names of Daniel F. and Bion Bradbury were sent to thi' senate. When tho vote w.ia taken in the senate nineteen votes were thrown, and all thrown for Davis, who was declared by the preaident ot the Bonato legally chosen the governor of state.

Bowers; Pendleton and Wilson of the council were qualified. At 15 p.

m. another convention was formed. Tho people had waited for this, not a man moving from the densely packed hall. lUe comniilteo representing both branches waited upon povcrnor elecit Davis, and soon reported ho would forthwith attend uprm the convention to take the oath of office. Aa he entered tho hall, attended by the council end a number of distinguished gentlemen, the crowd arose as tme man aoel the air was rent with deafening applause.

After quiet hod been restored. Gov. Davis io an impressive manner, -tcoltthe oath of ofiioe and-delivered-on ad- dross. The governor took possession of the excntivo chamber without any interference; tho only obstacle pliieod in tho way by Fuaion- ists during tho day was the refusal of the deputy secretary of state to give up gubernatorial returns, but certified copioa of clork'a returrs substituted. At 7:45 both hrnnohea adjourned until i'onday at 11 liclock a m.

Gov. Dovis iasued an order continuing tho care of public property in tho hondBof Gen. Chamberlain. After being elected by the legislature Gov. Davis addreaaed a note toGon.

Chamberlain, submitting a certified copy of the decision of tho supreme court aa to the legality of the legislature that bad elected him and calling upon Gen.

Daniel F. Davis. Both bouses of tho Republican legislature assembled at 11:30 on the 19th. and after the routine buaineas, appointed Sprapue, of Anson, aa atate orinter. The oath of office waa administered to oouneoUorB elect Hobie, Oampboll and Hinkley in joint convention.

The two houses then met in joint convention and unanimously elected Henry B. Cleaves, of Portland, Att'y Gen'l; the total vote being 105. Gen, Geo. S. Beals, of Portland, was elected adjutant genera', he receiving 95 votea to 4 for S.

J. Gallagher. The legielatnie then adjourned until 10 o'clock Tuesday. Governor Davis telegraphed all the military oomponies on Monday morning to test their feeling. Tho purport of the order waa that tho commanding officers of companies should report to heodquartera every morning, and if at any time the telegraph wirea were cut, to start with their companies for Auguati by rail.

Tho state house was closed in tho afternoon against tho Fnaion legislature, ond no repreaentativoa of that legistature ollowed to enter tho legislative halls, Tho scene in Bide the atate house during tho afternoon hours were extraordinary. The granite wollad old structure resembled a feudal castle await ing an attack. In every pass way from subterranean rogiona up to roof were policemen armed with revolvers. Gov. Smith come up and attempted to pass without aakiug any questions.

He was stopped by the officers and when ho said, "I demand admiaaionaa governor" hia authority waa not recognized and he waa turned back. Soon after the members of the Fusion legislature prcaented themselves in a body and demanded admission, which was refused, whereupon Mr. Talbot, apcaker of tho F'usion houae. mounted the fence of tho atate house yard, and aaid, in aubstance, aincc wo are not permitted to enter tho legislative hall by an illegal and uanrp- ing governor, it becomes my duty to call the houae of representatives to order on tho nearest spot. "Gentlemen of the houae of representatives, you will pleaao come to order.

Tho reading of the journal was dispensed with, and an order waa offered by Plaisted, of Lincoln, that the house adjourn to mact on Thursday at Union hall, Augusta. In reading this order Mr. Talbot began: "State of Maine, bouse of representatives as near as possible," which created a laugh in the crowd; he declared tho order adopted. Tho house adjourned accordingly. Lamson, president of the acnato who had alao climbed upon the fence took off hiB hat and said, gentlemen of the aenoto will please come to order.

Plaistod's order was then taken up and adopted in concurrence, and LamBon declared the senate adjourned. Gov. Davis, by whoae order the afote houae waa closed againat tho fusion legislature, says he was unwilling that the farce should go oii longer. Had they applied as citizens, and not as a logialativo body, admiaaion would have been granted. The Republican legislature met at tho State House at the appointed time on the 20tb.

The only business of importance trona- acted was the passage of a resolution which declarofl tho existence of tho fusion legislature wholly without authority and orders an inquiry whether legislation is neoeasary to puniah the abatraotion of state records and property. The fusion house and senate were called together at 10 -yclock on the 20th, in Union hall. In tho Senate Mr. Patten said: "We are waiting a reply from the Judges whether thoy will entertain questions from this body." Borkor said attempts wore mode to bribe him and hoped the resolve for an investigation would pass. Thompson of Knox believed frauds were practiced.

Justice required something should bo done. Thompson was Buro bribery had been practiced in hia county and favored an investigation. Ellis auid he wished the opinion of the court; thought that tho fusion house was not legal but that the senate was a legal body, ond that no business transacted by the houae would stand legally. Patton had como'to-Angnsta-tn-do'tho-duty imposed upon him. He should proceed to the transaction.

Tho matter of pay roll waa token into consideration. Where funds were to come from was not definitely known. It ia not lielievod that tho fusionists can hold out long unless money from outside of the state ia obtained. In the house the committee reported recommending tho submitting of a series of rcBolu- tions to tho supreme court, the committee to bo iu.struoted to make to tho court full statement of the facts in the tase. Dickey saw no way out but to submit to tho court.

There ore points in our po.sition which are unchallenged but to stay hers and pass laws which will be disregarded by the eourta would be ludicrous. He would have the committed take ample time. Wo are cither alegiaiature or we are not. Lot us stand or fall together. Staplea followed, expressing satisfaction at tne present attitude of this body.

Foreign markets ahow 0 decline of 2 to 3 pence per cental, and a diaposition to concede no advance. Whether this position will bo maintained for any time with cargoes afloat rapidly diminishing is a (lucstion to bo conBidcrod.
