THE DAILY PIOATUNBNEW ORLEANS. TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 188C. 5 1 WASHINGTON. A Compliment Senator Jackson's Appointment Confirmed Without a Division. The Vacancies Gen.

Gitson Assigned to the Senate Committee on Commerce. The Educational Bill The Laor Committee Again Foetpoi.es It Re-' port on the Measure. Washixgtoh. April 13. Special.

It has been understood for iftma days that the President would send In the name of Senator ijackson, of Tennessee, to All the vacancy of United States Circuit Judge for the District of Tenneasee. Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan, occasioned by the death of Judge Baxter. Senator Jackson la a jurist of ability and learning and of great elevation of character. Every one Is pleased with the selection. He was confirmed as soon as his name was received without a division, the Republican fienatorson the Judiciary Committee taking oa lead in urging the confirmation.

Every kind thing was said of Mr. Jaekson on tha occasion by Mr. Conger and other Thoappointment of a Senator to succeed Senator Jscksou rests with the Governor of Tennessee. Who It wiU be is not known, at a won Influence will back up the Hon. John F.

House, who was some year since one of the strongest Democratic members of the House of Representatives. Senator Olbsou was to-day put on the Commerce Committee especially to nil the place of Mr. Jones, of Florida, who had stated that he could not return at this time. It was felt to highly lmporrant to the "Interest of the Lower Mississippi Valley ana other portions of the South that this position sbouid be tiliert, and this is deemed the more important as the river and harbor M1 will probably go beiore this committee in a few days. He uator uibson is more familiar with this subject of the improvement of tho Mississippi River than any one in the Benate, and his preference on the committee Is a fortunate event for the Southwest.

Mr. Jones Is also on the Committee on Naval Affairs, and It will become necessary to have bis place filled temporarily. Tho position will probably be accorded to Senator Gray, of Delaware, a new Senator who baa given promise of making a very useful 'and distinguished member of the bJdy. Senatr Eustla, of- Louifiaua. is spoken of 'for aasigbnuient to the Committee ou sua Eleoiions.

Tola committee, like the Commerce Committee, Is one of the important couiiultteea ot the Senate. The retirement of Senator Jackson opens up a vacancy on the Committee upon tho Judiciary, which is probably more an object ot mi un than any other oaiumlttee of tli body. The Honse Committee on Labor again disappointed the friends of the education bill, to-aay, by not tiling up the meaaure recently referred to tnem. It was generally supposed that they would at least make considerable progress at this etui even if no report aooid be prepared In time to bo presented to-morrow. Mr.

O'Neill, the Coslrman, was aoaeut on aocouat ot sickness, aud one other mxmbtr waa not present. This was made a sufficient excuse to let the matter rest until the next meeting. Mr. Tarsney, a member of the committee, said tomgut ths tun committee wanted pienty of time to consider thin bill, aud that they did not propose to be made use of, as he expressed it. or to act as a caiepaw because entleraen could not get a speedy rejrt romtiie regular Cbuimtttee ou Education.

He added that It was thought many that the Labor Committee would rush the bill back to the House in a hurry, bus since a measure had been referred that did not properly belong to that committee, his own opinion waa that the committee would take plenty of ilme for consideration. emphasized the word plenty," as if he meant to convey the impreatiou that It might be quite a while beioie the friends of tho education bill could expect final action by the Labor Committee. It is probable tnae Mr. Tarsney is more hostile to the measure than other members of the committee, and taut a majority will not lend tat nisei vea to the tact of defeating this important measure by delays in report- i Ing it to the House. The following Louisiana postmasters of the fourth olaas were appointed to-day: A lto, Richland parish, Robert L.

Binion, vice fohn A. Heraler, resigned; Darlington, St. Helena parish. Barnabaa H. Pipkin, vice Jm M.

The General Execu tive Board and tbe Joint Executive Com mittee of Districts 101, 03 and 17 were -in session to-day at Hurst's Hotel, but took no official action than to receive reports from different points on the Gould system, and to transact routine business. In a conversation with a reporter, this afternoon. General Committeeman John W.

Haves said that tbe statements attributed to Jay Gould, in an Interview telegraphed from New York, last nla-ht, in wnicn Air. Gould eays that Mr. Powderly at one of the New Yor conferences referred to members nf District No. 101 as outiawe," and said th-t they bad disobeyed the laws ot the order, was false in every particular, and wholly without any foundation. He char acterized it as "one of Jay Gould's lies for the purpose of misseprHsentiog the Knights of Labor, and destroying publio faith in the crder." What Mr.

Powderly did say," said Sir. Hayes, "was that tbe strike was unwise and bad been ill-advised, because tbe local committees bad takeu aotlou upon important matters concerning: a very larire extent of territory without at first oousuicine the general officers of the order. Other than that, he made no remarks of the character attributed to him by Mr. Gould." Were you present at the interview referred to between Mr. Powderly and Mr.

Gould Yes, I was, and I have a very dlstlcot recollection of what occurred." You are quite certain that Mr. Powderly did not make the statements -which Mr. Gould says he made 1 I am positive that Mr. Powderly said nothing of the kind, and Mr. Gould is repeating his old tactics of mlsreuresentlng us."

Gould says about our refusal of his proposition to Include la the matters to be arbitrated tbe questions dealing with the damages to tbe roods caused Dy the strike is true."

The same strict cruard, however, over the railroad property is observed and the vigilance of the sentries has lu no way been relaxed. The time over which the order extended requiring those who wished to (to over the bridge into East St. Louis to supply tnem-sclves with passes, claused at niiauteht last night, and tho bridge thla morning presented an animated appearenee. Pedestrians passed aud re-paased without interference, and transfer wagons, heavily loaded, crossed over, and ou neither side of tbe bridge were their drivers approached by intimidating strikers attempting to pursuade them to again stop work. The promise of the militia of protection to those wao might d-slre to go to work to-day resulted in tbe employment of a large number of apDlioaars, most of whom were not Knignts of Labor, but those wno were employed to fill tbe vacancies caused bv the strike of the latter, and who left their places last Friday alter the fatal shooting by the deputies.

Tbe platforms of the various freight depots were busy with men actively engaged in loading and unloading ears, and no attempt at interference by the sulk era occurred. The Inquest Continued. ST. Louis, April 12. Tbe inquest in the East Sc.

A Story of Gen. Turchin. The following anecdote of Gen. John B. Turchiu is related la the Chicago Tribune, on the authority of an eye witness of lie eccne.

At oue time after the war Gen. Turchin resided at Kenwood. One day, returning from the city, be got off an Illinois Central suburban truiu at Kenwood station, and found bis hired man waiting on the platform to take a city bound train. "Vat lab you here coin', eb asked tbe General, walking up to the man. I'm goin' to leave," said the man.

"I have quit, and I ain't goiu' to work no more lor ypu." "Has yon. Indeed said the General; and vy you don't work no more, eh 1" Well." replied the man, sheepishly, I ain't gnla'to be bossed by a woman. Your wife's got ton much to say about the place, an' I ain't a goin' to stand it." The General had been rather polite anu inclined to lie facetious up to this point, but any retleclion on tbe energetic aud unusually oapable partuer of his bosom made him farious in an Instant. His whole bearing changed ilka llgbtuing. and oue got a very good idea of wkathe was at tbe head of bis troop.

Striding up to the shrinking man, he towered above bim and thundered out: Go i You ish oue fool. There air some vlmmena could command wohle armies ot such asses as you Then he turned oa his heel and strode away without another word, leaving the woman-scorning servant scared aud trembling and the spectators amused at his reply, and somewhat awed by his fiery vehemence and withering scorn.

The bill, which was referred to the Committee of tbe Whole on the state ot the Union, was aeootnpanied by a report which attempts to justify the derails ot the bill, roe argument la perhaps as good as would have been the argument made by Mr. Morrison on the occasion of tbe introduction of some three or four other tariff bills, all varying from one another and based on different aud conflicting principles, which he had from time to time advocated.

There is an attempt mode to justify the reduction of the duty on sugar.waioh.it is alleged, it equivalent to 66 per cent. This is calculated to deceive, and there is no excuse for it, for tbe delegation from Louisiana, who were- before the committee, met this very point aud explained bow, owing to tbe ab-uormatly low prices of sugar during tbe past year the sptciiio duty imposed would be apparently a much higher ad valorem rate thHU those of forty jetrs ago. Tbey also 1 explained and demonstrated that with the 1 su. ar tariff reduced aa it was bv the act of this Industry was strugcliug along for existouce, aud that in couJd not survive the shock of another reduction. Tne Wuya aud Means Commltteo show no eagerness to bring forward the bill for action by the House.

They reuiize that with all their attempts, by disregarding thrirown principles to catch votes, the bill is, tievertbeleas.growlog in unpopularity day by day. Tbey are afraid, to come to time, and are pronablv- watting to patch up some compromise or bargain to save the measure. At present there seems to bo no doubt of the defeat of tho bill. Tne Republicaus are said to be solid against it. It requires only 21 Democratic votes in theuegaiive to de-lias the measure, and there are, it is thought, some ao or 40 against the bill, besides hait a dozen doubtful votes.

The es imaie of adverse votes from the Democratic ranks Is as follows Ohio 11, fen us.) lvania 7, New Jersey 3. New York 8, Ctllforma 1, Texas 3. Louisiaua 3. sl Virginia 2, Michigau a and Boutb Carolina 1. I The doubtful jilt includes: 2 from Mis souri, 2 i oui lrginia, Louisiana 2, Alabama 1, Mary fond 1 aud New York 2.

Tbo bill, so far as it applies to methods of administration aud removes ambiguities In 1 he customs laws, is calculated to win favor and probably, on this account, its opponents wi.l oe unwilling to attack it on its being brought up on a motion to strike out tbe euuctiug of the bi Ilia cider to save this portion ot the bill it Is possible thui the enemies of the tariff reductions may content themselves with ameudiuents or sulking out these parts oi tbe bill, and allow tha part to go through whicu baa been prepared by Mr. Hwiir, in order to carry out the policy of (be Treasury Department in the removal of ambiguities. The line of tactics of the opponents of the bill has not yet been fully settled, bat as a soneme of tariff reform it is oertaiuly doomed to defeat. If any change Is to be done In this way it would be well to have another committee, to bo elected by ballot or by action ot the House. at r.
