Mr. Hancock, of Texas, explained tho j revisions of the bill, which appropriated $59,970,000, or (34,000 less than the estimates. There was some new legislation in th« bill. In the first. place members of the examining board of surgeons were prohibited from receiving mCTre than (2 for the examination of each applicant whenever five or a less number shall bo examined in one day, or more than $1 for the examination of each* additional applicant on such day. Then tne number of pension agents was reduced from«18 to 13, and their salary and emoluments was limitoJ to $40,- 000. He thought that this general legislation would prove advantageous to the country.THIEVING OFFICIALS 8TEAL A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. Chicago, Jan. 7.—According to a published .statement the number of . armed socialists in this city is placed at 8,000. "There are throe warlike sections among Hfir-sqcialjsts of this city," said one of the lexers. ' These are the Lehr Und Wehr Vefyin, the Bohemian sharpshooters, and the Jtager Vers in,. The largest and most important Ofthese is the first named. When the law of 1879 went into effect, forbidding "us to parade in closed ranks with our rifles, the Lehr Und Wehr Verein had about 1,000 active members, besides 500 reserves. Since then the organization has been kept up secretly. They drill now in halls, the location of which is changed with almost every new date , of Within the past year the accessions to this society have beon very large. As to their methods of military drill, the evolutions are taken from the Gorman, tha French, and the AmeriaMksystems—soma of the best features from each. Eaoli man owns his outfit, rifla and all, anl keeps it at home. We will have no armory. As to ths Bohemian Sharpshooters, they are a splendidly armed and driiled body, and the same is true of the Jager Verein. When wilt this threatened outbreak occur, you ask! Well, that's more than I know; but if things go on in the way they hav* been going for same time it won't bo far off. You may be sure of one thing; we'Ifnot stand idly by and see the workiitgmo* shot down in the street* like wild beasts, as waj done once." THAT'S WHAT MARSHAL WRIGHT SAYjf HIS DEPUTIES WERE, Philadelphia, Jan. 7.—Mary Gr»y, the wife ol Samuel Gray, the New York convict, now in Trenton jail, New Jersey, and supposed murderer, is still in the station house hero.

Jan. 7.—The Bun has the following from"Xlbany: Albany is the focus at which one gets the concentrated rays of Republican light from every corner of the state. It is a now light that one gets here now. During the speakership contest it was evident to The Sun's readers that nothing could beat Erwin. It was apparent at the same time that Erwin represented Morton in the senate contest, and yet that all the Erwin votes could not be doHvored to Morton. The Erwin managers said the defection wiuld amount to seven or eight, the Hubbell men said it would be much larger. To tho who studied the situation intelligently, when the separate and distinct battle for senator began yesterday, it was apparent that no man except Chauncey M. Depew answered all the requirements of A candidate to beat the member from Paris. It then seemed as if the seat of war was Albany, and the choice of an opponent to Morton would be decided whenever the leaders of the different interests stopped quarrelling and sacrificed every candidate except one.' But to-day it is evident that Messrs. Piatt and Cornell are at work in.every political centre in the state. Their arms reach all over the commonwealth, and the pressure of their flngors is felt in as many different localities as if they had 100 hands. Men who seemed r.s froe as the wind in their speech yesterday, and others who were loud apainst Morton, are now either of newminds or are squealing under a pressure they seem unable to resist They tell of home newspapers that were hot for Evarts until two days ujo, and now are silent or have come out for Morton. They speak of capitalists and manufacturers who are telegraphing and writing to them to swing into the Morton procession. They report the news that local leaders and men famous for keeping on the winning side are coaching them to study their interest* and climb into the Morton train. Richmond, Va., Jan. 7.—It is now learned that the defalcations discovered in the office of tho auditor of public accounts of the stat-i will at least reach (100,000, and some of those engaged in the investigation of the accounts say they will not be surprised if t:io amount reaches $150,000. The special committee appointed by the house of delegates to investigate and report upon this defalcation have been at work for some weeks. They have heard a good dual of testimony and collected m»ch valuable evidence, the burden of which shows that far seven or eight years various Bums of money paid into the office on account of taxes have not been credited ou the books. For a time it wr.s thought irregularities were confined to the accounts of the court clerks, but later developments show that they exist in several others. ' Tfae latest discovery shows that a check for  paid by the Western Union Telegraph company for taxes, was not credited on the books of the auditor's office, the check had been dep&sitatl 'nnif collected. In another instance the Merchants' National bank, of this city, paid in $896 due for taxes. In both of theso cases, as well as in all of the others in which irregularities have been discovered, the monDf or checks was paid to Mr. W. R. Smith, tho late first auditing clerk in the auditor's office. Smith is in jail, where ho lDas been for the past two or throe weeks, uwaitii% an investigation by the grand jury of the criminal court Cincinnati, Jan. 7.—Tho Springer investigating committee met at 10:30. The examination of Lot Wright was resumed. Mr. Follett conducted tho examination and Judge Foraker appeared for the defense.

The bill having been read for amendments- Mr. Everbart (Pa.) offered a proviso that all applicant*! for pensions shall b .(.presumed uj have had no disability at the time of enlistment, but such presumption may bo rebutted. Adopted Mr. Hepburn (la.) offered an amendment restoring the number of pension agents toeigliteen ; lost. Mr. Rogers (Ark.) offered an amendment providing that no agent shall receive any pay for his serv.ce in pension cases until the allQwance.of the claim: that all fee's shall be paid by the pension agents, and that such fee* shall be $10, except in cases of specitl written contract filed in the pension office, when a fee of $25 may be contracted for. A violation of this provision is punishable by fine and imprisonment. Mr. Warner offered a substitute for this amendment containing substantially the same provisions, but limiting the special contracts, to a claimant and an attorney residing in the same county and state. Lost Mr. Warner then offered an amendment to the amen linent limiting the special contracts to a claimant and claim ugent residing in the same state. Agreed to. Mr. Rogers' .ammdment as amen led was adopted. Oil motion of Mr. O'Hara (N. C.), an amendment was adopted providing that the mode and manner provided for the regulation of the payment of white pensioners shall apply to all pensioners. The committeo then rose and the bill passed "Did lie not ouce attempt to taka youi llfei" biiu was asked. "Yes," was the reply. "We had a quarrel.""You know," he was asked, "as little about the men you appointed as is possible for a man to know, don't you!" "Were you jealous of binir' "Not at all. The quarrel was about e pocketbook. There nils no woman in the case at all. I know of two.women who wen jealous of mo, but I was not jealous. On of these was named Elisabeth Fi cger&ld, and the other's name 1 cannot recall." " I don't remember about all the men appointed," said Wright, "but I know something about the 'Nuttle' gang. I don't know bow many of them were appointed, but think one was. Tbey were appointed as the best men for their locality of the city, as men who had nerve to meet just such elements as they would have to deal with."

The subdued growl of the malcontents is still heard, but tho danger of a terrible collision is averted. Tho RodemptionisS fathers of this city wore considerably troubled over an announcement that some members of their order, attached to a chapal ill New York,, had been maltreated by Orangemen near St Johns, N; F. Investigation, however, proved that none of the New York Kodemptionist fathers had left this city, but that three priests attached to a chapel in Boston, two of whom are natives of this citv, hid recently gone on a mission to St Johns, and that it was on thorn that the attack had baen made.

Save occasionally, Marshal Wright could not remember them. They were, he said, appointed hurriedly to meet an exigency. PUGILIST SULLIVAN'S PLANS- Ha la to Go Abroad and l)o Some Tall One of the complications of this case is tlmt all of the money alleged to bave boen diverted was paid in by the several taxpayers in plain violation of law, and was not therefore the property of the commonwealth. It is an admitted fact that by a sort of general consent, as was the habit, 'all of tlie accounts wero paid into the auditor's office directly, instead of being paid into the state depository. It is a question now whether the loss is to fall upon the taxpayers or opon the commonwealth. These irregularities cover a period during which both the Democrats and the Republicans were in control of the. stato government. They ore spoken of as the heaviest that have ever occurred in .the history of the commonwealth. Their magnitude and the manner in which they took place it is believed will induce the governor to call the legislature in extra tession. It is confidently expccted that that body will be called to meet about April or May next, to take steps in regard to this matter. Boston, Jon. 7.—in an interview with au United Press reporter, Put HUoojy, Julin L. Sullivan's trainer, said that Sullivan  begun to train for the Greenfield match. After Uonday night's tight he goes to New York, the following week, meets Paddy Ryan, rests two weeks, and then meet* Dominick McCaffrey, after that hr will give an exhibition in Chicago, and spend a month in New Or leans, where a solid fight will be a» ranged. Early in April he sails for England acccynpanied by Pete McCoy and Jack Dempsey, and will give exhibition* through, out England, Scotland, Walee and Ireland giving all who desire It a chance to mee'. him. Knocking Out. Mr. Follett took up the list, selecting therefrom notorious characters who acted as marshals, and inquired if the marshal knew who they *ere. "I do not know," said Wright, "that the man named Hurdle was a rejjeater from Washington, who was all leading about a crowd of negroes. I don't know," he also said, "that W. J. Farrell was'a fugitive from justice, nor that Peter D61an. when appointed, was a workhouse rat just out the day before I appointed him; nor that John Gleason killed a man on election day. But I do know that he was an old policeman who killed a man in self-defense. I don't think many of these were pious men, but I believe them to be the best igen to deal with the men they expected to encounter." On motion of Mr. Slater the senate resumed consideration of the Oregon Central land forfeiture bill. , Albany to no longer the heart of the political situation. The heart is in New York, an 1 veins that never felt a thrill of the blood of this new and formidable power in the politics of the state throb now in unison with those that felt it first The lively way in v. Iiicli Messrs. Dutcher and Payu took advuutage of oven the slightest opportunities for making Morton capital the. moment Kr« in was secure excDtos the admiration of •11 the politicians here. They made instant and excellent use of the minor offices in the Assembly Chamber. Talbot, of Essex, got the place of sergeant-at-arms, quite against his onn expectation, as a favor to Mr. Barnes, of Essex, a Morton man, of course. Mr. Raines, of Ontario, was for Morton, but was none the le*C well pleased when his onenrmed soldier, Fox, got a place, and Mr. Cartwright, of Kssez, was equally fortunate with his candidate for a lesser office. Mr. Morgan moved to amend by addin-; to the bill the substance of the provisions which, on his motion, had been added to the Atlantic and Paciflo forfeiture bill, providing a method of judicial procedure for the ascertainment of the rights of any parties claiming under the grant. Woonsocket Weavers lleturn to Work. Woonsocket, R I., Jan. 7.—The strike of the Manville mill weavers is virtually ended and they , will return to work. A commlttco waited on Russell Hardy, 'the superintendent. When he promised that as much wages would be paid as earned in other mills, and that he would give an advance to weavers 'working on colored cloth. He also state 1 that no fines-would be imposed for trivial causes. The committee reported to a ineatihg held subsequently, when it was unanimously voted to return to work. The weavers number 600, and the whole nurnbar of operatives is 1,500. Mr. Lapham supported Mr, Morgan's amendment.

I don't find Nuttle on my list- Before the announcement of the vote on his amendmeut Mr. Morgan changed his vote from yea to nay, and on the passage of the bill gave immediate notice of a motion to reconsider. New York, Jan. 7.—The annutl sale of pews in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, last night, netted $27,256 against (34,839 last year. The amounts realised have steadily decreased since 1875, the year of Mr. Beeclier's trial, when the receipts were (03,997, the largest ever reached. The highest bid last night for first choice of a pew was by K, '1'. Bush, who paid $800. H. B. Claflin paid (500 for second choice, and & V. White and E. H. Van Ingen (400 for third and fourth choice respectively. The bids then dropped to (350, (325, (300, (260, etc., down to (100 premium for the last pews. The total rental amounted to (11,857, and premiums (15,399.

But they kept their office, nevertheless, and were supported by a large majority of the congregation. They allege that Bev, Mr Gueraki disliked them because they discovered mistakes in the church books. Rev. Mr. Gnerski claimed the books were right, and the archbishop denied an investigation. Last Sunday officers were elected, and with them these two were re-elected, but Mr. Gueraki declared thuix election void.

The Arthur men were conspicuous for their absence. Gen. Sherpe, Collector Smart, Congressman Burleieb, John M. Davis and James D.

The Riusell men were silent Mr. Hendricks saiil that the Hiscock men would be glad to have Mr. Hiscock nominated, but would support Mr. Evarta if he was the choice of ti e majority. He has remained neutral and lias adhered to his determination not to be a candidate if he can help it, and many of his friends are on Morton's side. The leauin ■ of the conference was strong toward It was seen that he is the only available candidate. No resolution was passed, but there was an understanding that he must be agreed upon and supported. Those wjio were present were Mr. O'Neill, of Franklin; Hubbell of Monroe county Hendricks, the right hand of Hi-icock; Curtis, the Tall Spruce of St Lawrence* Oen.

Last Sunday he prcached the sermon at the evening service in St. Paul's cathedral. The bishop was a smart theologian and a forcible speaker, but his oratorical power was weakened by a slow and cautious style of delivery. During a momentary pause in tne discourse a wild looking individual jumped from a chair, and, pointing his finger toward the pulpit, yelled out: "You worship idols while you scorn to lave souls. Woe unto youl"- This astonishing tirado caused a commotion for a few minutes among the worshipers, but the vergers soon removed the scoffer and he was given into custody. He was arraigned at the Mansion House police court and refused to give his name or to explain why he had disturbed public worship. The magistrate thereupon decided that he was a madman and sent him to jail for two months, with hard labor, which to the usual magisterial prescription for insanity.

A patient investigation by reporters disclosed the fact that another cabinet council is to bo held to-day.
