A Pioneer Press special from the Sioux expe dition says: "Preparations are at last complete nnd we march at darbreak to morrow, our route being up the Rosebud and objective points, the Indians, wherever and whenever they may be found. Primarily, we expect to effect a Junotion with General Crook, but no deviation from the main object will be made for that purpose. Sickness is showing itself among the men, with a tendency to scurvy, aud that which is to be done must be done soon. The weather is hot beyond precedent. The mercury indicates to day from 109 to HQ in the shade, according to locality, Aluch apprehension is felt with regard to the effect of marching in such heat.

General Terry's force, exclusive of the depot guard, consists of 910 infantry, 674 cavalry. 40 artillery and 74 Crow and Kee Indians.

Seventh and Twenty tecond lnlantry will constitute a brigade nndcr command of Colonel Gibbon, Seventh lnlantry.

Tho battalion of Second Cavalry, Uie Seventh Cavalry, the battery of artillery and the Indian scouts will report directly to the department commander. One of the most formidable difficulties to be anticipated on this march is the want of water and grass. There has been no rain for many weeks and the Rosebud contains but little water St its mouth, and rt Is to be feared that the grass which has survived the drouth has been burned by Indians.

A Great Crowd at the Capitol Listening to the Political Debates The Senate Kills the School Amendment The Consular and Diplomatic Bill. Special Dispatch to The Tikes. Washington, August 14. The legislative proceedings in both houses of Congress werCqnite dull to day, but there was an evident impatience about adjournment, and up to four o'clock in the afternoon a serious hope was entertained by many members that the Senate would take some action upon the House resolution, which fixed four o'clock as the hour of sine die adjournment.

Afterwards disappointment was depicted on the countenances of all those who had previously hoped for adjournment to day, and they seemed to give up in despair, the evidences being that at least a day or two more would be consumed in debate on political matters, In the evening sessions an animated scene was presented, the galleries being well filled with spectators, who expected a lively As it was likely to be the last night of this session the silver bullion bill engaged the attention of the House, and our schools were discussed in the Senate, the school amendment being the measure under consideration. In both houses the debates were quite interesting aud at times animated. The President visited the Capitol in the afternoon and spent about an hour in his room on the Senate wing. It was not quite certain as to when the final adjournment would occur, aud it was therefore deemed advisable for him to be on hand to sign bills, etc. When it became apparent that at least another day would be spent he returned to the White House and the members of the Cabinet went to their respective departments.

The diplomatic and consular bill has not yet been approved, but it will be signed to morrow, and the nominations made necessary by the bill will be sent in to the Senate. Should the rules of the Senate be strictly enforced, no action can be taken on the new appointments until twenty four hours shall have elapsed, and it is therefore probable that even if all other business shall have been disposed of to morrow, it will be necessary to continue the session during Wednesday in order that the executive business may be cleared up, the purpose being to avoid the necessity of an extra session of the Senate for the sole purpose of acting on nominations. Clapp Going for His Investigator. Special Dispatch to The Tikes. Washington, August 14, Colonel Vance, of Ohio, is chairman of the House printing committee, and with his committee he investigated the administration of Clapp, the Congressional Printer.

As the result of the investigation, Clapp was legislated out of office, but has been renominated for his old position under the new law, providing that the President should nominate a successor. Clapp has, strange to say, lost all regard for Vance, if he ever had any, and is making an assessment in the Government Printing Office to pay the expenses of two men to go to Ohio to operate in Vance's district against his re election. Vance heard of it today and sent Clapp word that he would contribute fifty dollars to the fund himself if permitted to do so. (NIGHT SESSION OP CONGRESS. Defeat of the School Amendment la the Senate Polities and Confusion lo the House.

Washington, August 14. In the Senate this evening, upon reassembling, Mr, Edmunds moved to take up the House Joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States prohibiting the appropriation of money for the support At sectarian schools. Agreed to. and Mr. Kcrnan (N.

took the floor and, while he lavorcd the House bill, he could not support the amendments introduced by the Senate. Mr. Christiancy (Mich.) favored the substitute reported by the Senate committee on the judiciary, and said he could see no reason why it should not be supported In preference to the House proposition. Mr. Morton (lnd.) also spoke of the proposition of the House of Representatives as being dcfectlvor though be Drcsunied it was Imncrfect bv lnadvcrt ancc.

It ogrced upon it would amount to very Utile. It simply pronimtea a Mate irom aiverung fiart of the lund set apart for public schools to he support of sectarian schools, but did not prevent the state from levying a special tax for that purpose. If it wag proper to prevent the State Irom diverting tho fund raised for public schools, was it not proper to prevent the Stale Irom levying aspeclal tax lor thesuptiort of sectarian schools? Mr. Randolph N. said he for one was In favor of the House proposition, and he used every effort to have It passed.

He believed that the object of the Judiciary committee in reporting this substitute was lo delay the proposed amendment to the Constitution, and have Uiat proposed by tho House tail lor political effects. Mr. Eston (Conn.) argued that the whole school question should be left with the States. Connecticut could take care of her own schools; let the Senator from Indiana (Morton) take care of lit own State and he would have all he could do during the coming campaign. This whole amendment originated as an electioneering dodge.

Finally, at one o'clock the Senate voted upon the proposed amendment, and It was rejected veas, US; nays, 10. not two thirds voting In Hie affirmative. It was defeated by a strict party vote. At 2.05 the Semite adjourned until to morrow. House of Representatives.

There was great confusion this evening on the reassembling of the House, and many members were noisily endeavoring to attract the attention aud receive the recognition of the Speaker. A call of the House showed that less than a quorum was present, and finally Mr Lawrence (Ohioi made the conference report on the bill for the partition of real estate in the District of Columbia. Agreed to. Mr. Banks (Mass.) then took the tloor and addressed the House In explanation and advocacy of his bill to utilize the product of gold and silver mines (better known as Bland's silver bill).

At the elosc of Mr. Banks speech Mr. Kamlatl moved an adjournment, remarking that he was tired of waiting on the convenience of the Senate. A suggestion of Mr. Kasson was made lor a recess, but Mr.

Kaudall Insisted on his motion for an adjournment, which was not agreed to. Mr. Kasson then took ihe Boor, but yielded to allow Mr. Banning (Ohio) to ask unanimous consent to report the Semite bill to increase the cavalry force for service In the Sioux war, but Mr, Bradiord (Ala.) objected. Mr.

Kasson then proceeded to make a political speech, prefacing It with the expression of his regret that Ihe objection had somcfrom the Democratic side of the House lo a bill designed to save the army from further annihilation and to save the frontier xetllcra from murder and plunder by savage trilics. He proceeded to review the political hlstorv of Mr. Tilden in order to show that in time of danger that gentleman whs nowhere on the record as a friend of the I'nion. Mr. KusMin continued his speech at great length and was Ireoiiently interrupted by Democratic members, and at times the scene was intensely exciting, Mr.

Danulng's motion was adopted and the bill passed 1 2 1 to 4 1. Mr. Cos tried togetUie floor to reply to Mr. Kasson. but was prevented by loud cries of 'Order Order on tho Republican side, lo which Mr.

Terry (Vs.) responded that they (Ihe Democrats) would stay there till daylight." 1 A. M. Proceedings are In progress for a call of the House. The Democrats want to give Mr. Uox a chance to be heard and the Republicans will not permit it.

At 12.30 the House was still in session. THE JERSEY MURDERERS. Evidence that They were In This City Early Last Week. nil), Fullman and Dayton, the murderers of the old furmcr, Chiseled, at El wood Station, N. were, beyond question, In this city on Tuesday of lust week, and, although.

tliey aro not supposed to be here, now, having left probably on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, their visit here has furnished the police with a olue which Is now being followed up and may possibly lead to the arrest of the assassins. The po lice of the Second district deny the truth of tho report of the three men having been seen at Second and Catharine streets on friduy evening. There is not an officer on Lieutenant P.vcrly's force who Is not acquainted with both Hill and Pullman, and the men would hardly dare to visit tho locality. Hill's mother lives in Rule street, a little thoroughfare between Second and Third streets, above Heed street. Fullniiui's mother lives in tho neighborhood of Second and Catharine streets, lloth houses have been watched constantly in the hope that the men might desire to visit their parent.

Dayton is not known to the folic, but tho other two have bad reputations, I ill was arrested fur larceny bv Second dis irict omours aonut two and a hair years ago, but noons would make a charge against him, and he trict ofliuurs about two and a half years ago, but merly were employed as stevedores on the wharf and frenuentlv worked on ovster boats, sailing down along the bay shore. When the news of the murder was received at the second district station house several officers at once shadowed an old haunt of the men, at Swausom street and finder's alley. The police lay in wait tor days, but in vain. Hill has a brother in law who keeps a sailors' boarding bouse in Swanson street, and, should he feel so inclined, It is thought that he could assist the men in obtaining passage in a foreign The men are experienced watermen, and would find no difficulty in working their way on a vessel, The presence of the men in the city during the early part of last week shows conclusively that when the Jersey swamp was being surrounded to prevent their escape they were traveling towards Gloucester, whence probably they escaped in a boat to Philadelphia. They were seen in tins city by two persons.

Late in the evening yesterday many of the visitors, carrying too much beer, tried to raise a row, but tho ponce promptly brought the outlaws to order. At the station, Ninth and Green, the pickpockets were out in force. Officers Bond and Bates, of the Eighth district, arrested William Hamilton, John Glenn, John Gibson, John Brown and John Hare. Hamilton and Glenn left prison three weeks ago. Gibson was captured only alter Officer Bond had torn a greater part of his clothing oil'.

At the Central the three were recognized as professional thieves ami Alderman Carpenter committed them for ninety days each. Brown and Hure, juveniles, were caught with their hands in ladies pockets, and were each held in $000 bail. CENTENNIAL NOTES. Squabbling Over Hash Weeding Out Humans. Excursions and Music.

With a remarkable individual who was Don Carlos' brother one day, a first cousin of Marshal MacMuhon another, a bosom friend of the Khedive another, and a most exquisite lady killer on all occasions, the detectives have for some time desired to have a little private conversation. This hydra aliased sport has cut his way into high society and lived on the fat of ninny lunds all by his perverted wits. On Saturday a man giving the commonplace name of Donge V. Chunlotte was arrestcu by Detectives Murphy aud Johnson for insulting a lady in the Main Building. Having given a dislocated account of himself, he showed a press ticket of admission, issued to him as a representative of llayti at tho Centennial.

It wits then learned that he hud introduced himself to exhibitors and restuurnnt kecpers, evidently for blackmailing purposes, as a Spanish Centennial Commissioner. His linguistic accomplishments and Spanish airhnve been doing him great service. On his person were found thirty letters from vountr ladies infatuated bv his "foreign ac cent" and Mcpliistophilean moustache. On Sun day Mueistrate Kandiiil held Mr. lionge in Jf.W bail to answer at court.

John McDowell, a guard in Co. sat down to enjoy sonic hash iu his mess house, but the waiter ordered him to move to another part of the table. Guard John wouldn't do any such thing and called waiter Sam everything but a gentleman, Hani thereupon caused a concussion between John head and a molasses pitcher, but through John's efforts Magistrate Hamlall put Sam under $500 bail. The wuitcr then entered a counter suit. The detectives are weeding out the few ruffianly guards that have been bringing discredit upon a line body of efficient police, A guard named Maver, In the Main Ruildinir, who wo oneo discharged from the force for drunkenness, but was subseuuentlv reinstated, was arrested on Saturday, by a detective, for insulting ladies in tne itctmun section, Mr, waver wus orucreu to surrender his baton.

Who Shall Succeed Congressman Wood? Things Very Much Mixed The County Ticket in Feril. Special Correspondence of the The Times. LANSDAI.K, August 14. There is a bright prospect just now of a great storm in the Republican ranks In the Montgomery and Southeast Bucks district about the Congressman. Two years ago the candidates were Hon.

George Lear, of Bucks (now Attorney General Hons. Alan Wood (the present member) and George N. Corson, of Montgomery. It seems that many of the prominent Wood men promised Corson then that if he would withdraw in fuvor of Wood he (Corson) should have the nniuiuation next time. This arrangement gave the nomination to Montgomery and made Mr.

Wood the nominee. Recently it has beeu discovered that the office holders aud the editors of one Norristown paper and a Doylcstown paper bave conspired together to give the nomination to a younger lawyer than Corson, and one who has held for maiiv years nnd now holds a fut office. The people are rebellious at the Idea of being transferred iikc niimu brutes by Custom House officers aud officials. Tho next two years, by an arrangement agreed upon two years ago, belong to Montgomery, and after that time Bucks gets the next four years. By that time Mr.

Lear win be out oi tne Attorney ucnerars oruce perhaps, and can conveniently go to Congress. Tho whole Ucpiiblicuu county ticket is placed in peril of sure defeat by reason of the discovery of this perfidy on the part of the politicians. In Norristown, among the solid masses who were Wood men, tne feeling is unanimous for Corson to succeed Wood the next two years. But the Norristown paper aud Mc Quude and Jacobs, two government office holders iu I'hiludelphiu, and a lew other ring politicians, have concerted and consorted with the snmo eluss in Bucks, and the conspiracy is to defeat Corson. Tho consequence will be the loss to the Republicans of their county ticket and their Congressman.

The Corson party declare thnt if the junior member of the bar be promoted over the head of their favorite they will run Anthony II. Beipt, of Skipackville, one of the wealthiest, most popular, influential and independent Republican citizens of the county, as an independent candidate. All this has been develupcd within a few days. The fight is the angriest, bitterest and promises to be the bi Hires one we have hud in the county since the defeat of tho Democrats by tho same trouble when the district was composed ot those strongholds of Democracy, Montgomery and Lehigh. The convention meets at this pluco on Monday, the '21st instant, and if the Bucks county men attempt to make the nomination over the will of the majority in Montgomery there will be open revolt.

A rapidly increasing interest is felt in the Centennial Regatta, which is to bo rowed on the Schuylkill, beginning August 22. A main feature of the regatta will be the international amateur races, in which the famous Trinity Club, of Trinity College, Dublin, and representatives of the London Rowing Club will participate. At the boat houses of the Schuylkill Navy an unusual activity shows that eveuts of great importance are iu prospect. The Cambridge University crew, which has been on the ground for some time, still continues to practice daily. Yesterday three of the prominent clubs which are to take part iu the regatta arrived in Philadelphia, namely The Loudon Rowing Club, the Yale University crew, and the Atalantas, of New York.

The London crew reached New York on Saturday night and were entertained there by the Nassau Boat Club. They were met in this city yesterday by representatives of the Undine Boat Club, whose guests they are to be. They will begin practice on the Schuylkill to day.

Portland, August 14. The Hon, James G. Blaine received a most en thusiastic reception on his appearance iu City Hall to night. As he came upon the stage the applause was deafening and long continued. Fully twenty five hundred people were present.

As be arose to speak, he exhibited not the least trace of bis recent illness; his eyes were bright, his form ercot, his face bad a healthful glow and he spoke with bis accustomed vigor for nearly an hour. At the close he showed no signs of weariness, although the ball was intensely hot and the atmosphere not the purest. His speech was confined almost entirely to the elaboration of his ideas of State rights, contending that Governor Tilden, in his letter, held that we were not a nation, but a confederation. He quoted extensively from Webster and others in support of his views. He touched briefly on the resumption act, saying that the Democrats had abandoned their principles in passing the bill repealing the resumption clause.

I am not positive," said he, "whether it is the wisest thing to do to appoiut a day for resumption, but I do know that no nation who ever suspended never thoroughly resumed until a definite day had been set." lie alluded to the investigations of the Navy Department, aud said the Democrats on the committee had violated every bill of rights in the constitution a hundred times in their investigatiou. He spoke of the action of the Democrats in tacking on to the sundry civil service bill the amendment to abolish the supervisors of elections, aud said it was done at Governor Tilden's command, as he did not want to go into the cainpaigu uutil it was abolished. SPEEDY KETRIBUTION. "Llmpy" Clark Fined S100 and Sentenced to Four Years In the Penitentiary. "Limpy" Clark, the particulars of whose robbery of Colonel Ash mead on the South street bridge were published in yesterday's Times, had a hearing at the Central Station yesterday, charged with highway robbery.

Officer' James Talbot, a Ccnteunial Guard, testified that he helped to arrest Clark, who was captured in a house on an alley near Twenty third and South streets, and that on the way down stairs the prisoner struck him in the face and tried to escape. He, however, recovered the chain aud eye glasses, which Clark had boldly stolen. Mr. Ashiucad was culled, and gave the story of the surprise, the assault, the flight and the subsequent capture, as already detailed, his statements differing only therefrom in respect to the efficiency of the action of the police, who, he said, acted promptly. Clark was committed for trial at court on the principal charge, and held in $1,000 to answer for his assault upon the gnard.

He was nt once taken into court, arraigned on the two indictments, sentenced to four years in the Eastern Penitentiary aud fined $100. Whs Is W. Da tr. Barnard From the New York Sun. W.

De W. Buruard, the author of the letter which Grant sent to Mr. Bristow with the now famous indorsement, "Let no guilty man escape if it can be avoided," is a fair type of those enterprising and versatile gentlemen, with whom the President has surrounded himself. Ho is a brother in law of John C. Dent, and therefore a brother in law of a brother in law of Grant's.

This rather remote relationship seems to have been sufficient for all practical purposes, Bar nurd was known iu and about St. Louis as a man of profligate and reckless habits when Grant ap fiointed him United States Bunk Commissioner. ater Barnard wus an active agent of the White House post tradership brokers, Ulysses and Orvil L. Grant Co. It was he who agreed to sell to J.

E. Barrow, of St. Louis, the tradership at Fort Union for oue third of the profits, and it was he who was described to Mr. Clymer's committee as a nntu who had influence with the President because ho "hud been drunk with Grant, had given him a horse, and all that kind of thing," Tried to Kill Ills Sister. Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, Waller Dowdull, a lad of seventeen years, living at 348 Germautowu avenue, tried to kill his sister, Hut tie, sixteen years old.

A statement gained credence early after the bulls and bears had taken down their shutters and coin began to jingle, to the effect that forged paper, valued at between $75,000 and $100,000, had been put in circulation by skilful operators. The paper purported to be that of a Western firm, and came, it is said, upon the market through the medium of II, 11. Landis, a mercantile broker, who has done business in Frout street, near Chestnut, for more than tea years, and has always been regarded favorably in the commercial and broking community.

At the instance of Dr. H. H. Geiger, who advanced, so the statement runs, sixteen hundred dollars upon a note purporting to be drawn by Bliss of Chicago, and made payable to his order, Landis was arrested and is now in jail in default of bail. It is now asserted that this note has been pronounced a forgery.

Another note for $1,700, drawn by Bliss Co. and indorsed by Landis, has beeu discovered, but it is impossible to ascertain the full number of these alleged fraudulent papers in circulation on Third street and among the bankers of Philadelphia. A short time ago Landis received an advance of $7,500 from Bond, Moxey depositing with them as collateral two warehouse receipts and a note for $1,700, purporting to be drawn by Bliss of Chicago, payable to Mr. Landis, and bearing his in dorsement. Bond, Moxey Co.

took the same as collateral and borrowed the amount from Herman F. Bachman, No. 26 South Third street, and deposited it with him as security. The note was presented in due time to Bliss and they immediately asserted its fraudulence. Landis asserts that the notes were all genuine and that he had received them as he had all the former ones, and placed upon them his indorsement without suspecting their genuineness.

Ha also says that if there was a genuine forgery it was in the signature of Bliss and was perpetrated in Chicago and not iu Philadelphia, as he simply indorsed the notes. DAN WEBSTER'S PLOW. How He Felt When He Had a Hold of Its Uuudles. In Section 20 of Agricultural nail is an age cracked plow made, a label says, in 1837 by Daniel Webster. It is exhibited by the College of Agriculture, and is knowu as the Web Bter plow." There is peculiar interest iu a relic to which the Demosthenes of America referred in saying: "When I have hold of the handles of my big plow, with four yokes of oxen to pull it through, and hear the roots crack and see the stumps all go under tha furrow out of sight, and observe the clean, mellowed surface of the plowed land, I feel more enthusiasm over my achievement than comes from my encounters in public lite at Washington." It is, indeed, a "big plow," and Daniel's muscle must have been as big as his bruin to manage it.

Its extreme length is 13 feet; length of beam, 9 feet 1 inch; length of landslide, 4 feet 2 inches; width of mould board, 20 inches; width of share, 16 inches, and length from point of share to further point of mould board, 5 feet 4 inches. The mould board, unlike that of more modern plows, is formed of over half a dozen separate pieces of iron. The Conservative Liberal Snarl at Canco. Panama, August 5.
