Il 4 ,„ ijcul Kstato Onnrrs arc VIff'it,', l—A < liauu’c „f seiitimiMit miff a litiilimiu. RKroiiffitiU','— ((Ht'i'UraMc shrinUatre in lli'iitiiN from tlie ! •>ii|.pri-.sloii * Providence, May 24.—Tire liquor deal-! er „ continue to show a bold front, and many profess to be confident of a favorable ,*, i-ion in the suit in equity entered in the -trireme court on Monday iast, which asks ti ll', honorable body to declare invalid the vV-te on the prohibitory amendment. At ihc same time it does not take a very close observation to convince one that the deal- i d's at heart have very little faith in the j I ii and that this show of confidence is • merely in line with the whistling feats of j |ij,. vnuth who desired to keep up his cotir- a’lsc'while passing a graveyard. All over I th 1 .' city, in saloons of every class, from the elesmntly furnished palaces on broad, \Wybosset and Dorrance streets to the I gr. •sireries which thrive in byways in less: lavered sections . of the community, I preparations are in progress for closing j up. The large wholesale dealers are raking out their cellars and storerooms, j while the large show windows of many of those concerns are tilled with bottled ii,,uors, over which hang placards b: aring ti.'i legend, “Your choice for fifty cents. : just out of bond.” The provident tippler and those who desire to have a stock on I hand for “medical use,” are buying exten sively, and the indications now are that a t large part of the liquors at present in the • stores of the dealers will lie transferred to tlie cellars of citizens who have not been I tainted with the “no rum” contagion, j While the liquor dealers are thus prepar ing for the annihilation of their business the rabid prohibitionists are huggiug them- J selves in ecstatic delight in anticipation of the coming emancipation from rum. A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT. But the men who voted for and carried the amendment are cot happy, for many of them have discovered that, in the ex pressive but inelegant parlance of the day. they have bitten their own noses. Their ' discomfiture is really 'ludicrous, and these whilom wearers of the blue ribbon are now i among the most ardent well wishers for the success of the liquor dealers in their attempt to have the vote declared invalid. Some of these men worked zealously for the amendment, though they were the I owners of buildings where liquor saloons had been located for years. AVhen the I amendment prevailed they awoke to a | rather unwelcome fact that if it went into [ effect their income would be sadly de- [ creased, and their pockets being more sen sitive than their consciences, they have j made a change of front and of base with unseemly haste. In whatever j light it is viewed the prohibitory j amendment will work a decided injury to 1 the business interests of the state. Not only will it withdraw five or six million of ; dollars capital directly interested in the business, but it will leave untenanted many ! stores which cannot Ire leased for other j purposes on account of the high rents, thus j entailing heavy loss on the owners. One of the most severe blows to the city of] Providence will be the closing of the Nar- ragansett hotel. This house has been run : for years at a loss, hut the profits of the bar j have been sufficient to make up the de- j ficicncy. If the amendment is enforced, { the management declare they will close j up, and travelers will follow the custom in vogue before the Narraeansett was opened —of going to Boston rather than remain at j our inferior hotels. The business of all the shore resorts along the bay will be greatly I decreased, and, in fact, almost every branch ’ of trade will feel the depression to a greater | or less degree. SYMPATHY FOP. THE POOR. Both the liquor dealers and prohibition- I ists are now very solicitous for the well be- j ing of the workingman. The blue ribbon men declare that It was not so much for the purpose of closing the “high toned” | places that they worked for the amend ment as to crush out the hundreds of sa- . loons which beset the laborer on his way home after enticing him into the expendi- I ture of money which he can ill afford and for which his family is suffering. On the ! other hand the liquor dealer argues that j prohibition will work a particular hard ship on the workingman by depriving him ] of an opportunity to get a drink after a hard day's work, when it would really j benefit him, while the rich men I are practically exempt from this ! oppression because they can get all they; want at their clubs or in their houses. But [ aside from these two classes—the dealers I and the prohibitionists—there is a feeling I among the more conservative part of the I community, and in fact throughout the state, that'prohibition will he a failure and that much better results could have been i securedby a high license law rigidly en- | forced. The prohibitionists are somewhat ! divided as to the best method of enforcing I a prohibitory law. Some of them are in | favor of leaving that work to the present i police force, the sheriffs and their depu ties, while the rabid wing will have noth- ! ing less than a state constabulary, in j charge of a chief constable. Among the 1 persons mentioned for this office is General 1 Charles R. Brayton, who has the support of ? large majority of the prohibitionists. It is understood that General Brayton will ac cept the office provided he is given the ap pointment for three years, with a salary of fMOO per year. It is impossible to give a forecast of the action of the legislature at its coming May session, but in its present temper it is disposed to grant anything that ultra prohibitionists may ask. The senti ment of the majority of'the citizens of the state, which is voiced by the Journal, iB for the passage of such laws as will make pro hibition effective without being extrava gant or oppressive. THE CASES IN COURT. The bill which Charles E. Gorman and Arnold Green have fildd in the supreme court places that judicial body in the posi tion of deciding whether or not they hold their pilaces legally or not. This is, of course, not the question raised by the bill, hutthe principles involved are the same, and a decision declaring the vote on the amendment invalid on the principal ground set forth in the bill would at the same time declare that everv legislature elected under the new constitution for about forty years was not a legally constituted body. hi such case all the acts j df the legislature during those , lour decades would be invalid, and the ! supreme court itself, which is elected by i the general assembly, would thus be hold- mg office and exercising the judicial functions pertaining to it without authori- I ty. and necessarily illegally. The chief ground on which' the complainants ask ] that the vote be declared invalid is that the : registry taxes of more than four thousand I cstizens who voted on the amendment j Repaid by- persons other than the voters j r'Ew urleansJ" May 27.—A crevasse | J'met wide is reported on the west j 2,[ Bayou LaFourche, three miles be- l UNCLE SAM'S RUNNING GEARS.

Washington, May 3S.—There is to he m effort to pass some sort of silver legislation in the house before this ses-ion of congress ends. T hope t get the house to net on 1 the hill authorizing the issue of snmll sil ver certificates before the adjournment. ' said Mr. Bland, the leader of the silver men in the house. “Do you intend to attempt to pass the i bill authorizing the issue of coin certifi cates without reference to the kind of coin in which they shall he redeemed? - ’ “Yes, we shall try to substitute that for the bill authorizing the issue of silver cer tificates: we want to give silver one more chance in the house yet this session.” COSTOP RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, which has just been re ported from the appropriations commit- j tee. gives some interesting items which show something of the cost of running a big government like this. For instance, I the sum appropriated for the pay of mem bers of congress during the coming voav is over two millions dollars. To pay the peo ple who wait on them, their onict rs and employes, costs between seven hundred and eight huudre 1 thousand dollars a ;.v ir. Add to tin's the contingent expenses, and : you have a total of a million dollars for the cost of running congress, aside from the i salaries of the members. Congress thus j costs over three million dollars a year. The cost of collecting the internal revenue I for the coming year is put down at nearly | two million dollars. The other depart- ! ments of the treasury cost about two mil lion a year. The interior department costs | between one and two million a year. The | salaries of United States judges alone , i amount to nearly a half a million a year. I THE YELLOW FEVER INVESTIGATION. ; The bill for the appointment of a com- | mission to go abroad to study the germ [ theory developed in connection' with yel- | low fever will probably pass without much further opposition. Congressman Cald well, of Tennessee, who was its most active _ opponent, has succeeded in getting the friends of the motion to make some concessions ns to the number of persons to he sent on this expedition, also on agreement that all those sent on tne expedition shall betaken from the government service, so that the cost may he cut down to a minimum. “You may say,” said he to your corres pondent, “to those who are saying that! have withdrawn my opposition to the hill, that the friends of the original bill have WILLIAM WORKMAN S WILL. ■ Smith.' llli'li I. riiuri'h ■ ntri, II Senator Gibson Makes a Strong Argu ment for Holding Them Openly.

The report of the select committee of the house on the constitutional amend ment providing for the election of a sec ond vice-president gives some interesting historical facts, which, although familiar to all, are quite interesting when grouped as they are in the report. Out of eighteen persons elected to the presidential office four have died before filling cut their re spective terms as president, three of them during the first year of their term, and the other during the second year. Out of twenty-five different persons elected as vice-presidents five died during their terms of office, one of them re signed his office, and four became presi dent. At the close of the present presidential term, there will have been one hundred years of government under the constitution, and during that period there will have been twenty-five years eight months and four days, over one-fourth of the time when the country has hud no vice-president, and this without counting the short period in 1789 at the beginning of our constitutional history, when we were without a vice-president until John Adams assumed the duties of that office in that year, and in the last forty years of the period named the office of vice-president has been vacant eighteen years five months and five days, or nearly one-half of the time. Ilnuvm‘,1 l,y n WiitiTspout, Abingdon, Va., May 25.—Yesterday evening a waterspout struck the residence of David Whittaker on Gasper Creek, this county, destroying the dwelling and to bacco’ barn and drowning Miss Jennie Mongle, who had just stepped in out of the rain. Whittaker had his jaw broken be falling timbers. The body of the young lady was found half a mile below the house to-day. Tin 1 Tolitu'i'n I ax.

The bill aiso repeals section 3151 of the revised statutes author izing the appointment of one or more in spectors of cigars in each collection dis trict to receive as compensation such fees from the manufacturers as the commission er of internal revenue may prescribe. Wanls to Huilil h Drillin'. WASHINGTON, May 27.—Senator Brown introduced a bill in the senate ;to-day to authorize the East Georgia and Florida railroad company to construct a bridge across the Altamaha river, in the counties of Wayne and Liberty, or Tatnall, Ga,, at a point where the railroad crosses the river. Til,' Kiluratlonal Rill. Washington, May 28.—At a meeting of the house committee on labor to-day, Daniels, of Virginia, was instructed at the first call of the committee to make a motion to set aside June 10th for t he con sideration of the substitute for the Blair educational bill reported by the commits tee. • Mure Vetoes, Washington, May 28.—The president sent to the senate to-day five additional vetoes of private pension bills. The rea son stated in each veto is that the disabil ity described arose from causes wholly apart from the military service, in some cases long before the war, and others long afterwards. CniiMi'iiiiithins. Washington, May 28.—A large number of senatorial confirmations of appoint ments to minor offices were made public to-day. Among them is that of Hughes East, of Indiana, to he register of the land office at Yankton, Dakota; East was Vice President Hendrick's secretary in tile last presidential campaign, Derelict in Her Duty. Mary Anderson ought to get married. Many actresses, less successful than herself, tue supporting hushanue,—Lonnosn . Or 1, a me He wi discus the (.1 1 hey ! vaiils do and why they do it. He sa:! It ha4 become an axiom in this and nil othei countries where constitutional free dom pi'cviii's that political matters are not private matters but public matters, and that the surest remedy .or all evils that at- feet society is to lie found in flic widest i publicity, and in tlie resources which the ; wisdom and the conscience of the many may tiling t" ht.n upon the -uffi rinirs and wrongs of any one or of .my portion of the people. It was but yesterday that a debate in open session was held upon a question that more Than any other has perplexed onr diplomacy. 1 mean, of course, the fish eries; and it will be admitted that the very puolicity of the debate was productive of good results. Such discussions would ex- 1 pose to the count ty tlie principles and con- 1 siderations that control senators on all \ questions concerning' not only the rela tions of our govei'ii'iient to foreign govern ments, but also the intercourse and trans actions between citizens of our own and of foreign nations, the nature and character of ail disputes ar.d the manner and method of their settlement. As to nominations to office and their con sideration by the senate Mr. Gibson justly aud forcibly said: But it is held that when the senate comes , to consider whether it will advise and con sent to nominations and appointments the doors should be closed and ine most rigid secrecy be observed. How, Mr. President, there are two methods for filling offices created by the constitution and the laws— one by election and the other by appoint ment—and I submit that the reasons which compel and justify the utmost publicity in the discussion of the merits and qualifica tions in one case should prevail in the oth er. The offices belong to the people, were created for their benefit, and not for the benefit of the office-holders, nor as per sonal or political perquisites, not as official patronage nor for the senate, but wholly to do the necessary work of the nation, and the people pay their officers for such work out of their own pockets, and they have a right to know all about their quali fications when they come to lie appointed or elected. If it were once understood that entire publicity were the rule respecting all appointments the ehiei difficulty in the way of the thor ough reformation of the public service would be removed. In the first nlac . un worthy men, knowing their own unfitness or misconduct, would not desire that their names should he exposed to a running fire front the press and their fellow-citizens, when presented publicly for the considera tion of the senate. How many such men now insist upon being appointed and se cure recommendations, wno would not venture to go before the people for elec tion, counting upon the shield of secrecy to protect themselves against the con demnation of the public ! In the second place, it would impose greater circumspection and responsibility and better methods upon the appointing power. It is utterly impossible from the nature of things that the president should know tlie real character of the applicants for office, and he would realize that as the recommendations and considerations that control His selection were to lie laid before the senate, not in secret but in open ses sion, which is tantamount to laying them before the country, it would behoove him to require testimonials from the highest sources, so that a complete record should be made up for the country constituting the credentials of the appointees, and sen ators and representatives and gentlemen in private life who nowcarelessly give their recommendations right and left without scrutiny would be more careful when it was well understood that the measure of theii responsibility v.as likewise to he de clared to the country and not hid away in the archives of t he committee rooms. In the third place, it would relieve the senate from the constant discussion of at tacks upon private character which secrecy holds out as a temptation to those who would gratify personal malice or revenge bv striking under cover or in the dark. The lion's mouth at Venice, when the council of ten,.the famous oligarchy, ruled the city by the sea, was not a more appro priate device to invite the secret denun ciation of particular persons than the im munity which secret sessions of the senate afford! No public interests require that any of the proceedings of the senate should tie kept secret' from them. Secret sessions are as much now out of place and date as the sword John Adams wore when presid ing over this body would be upon the per son of our president pro tern. Senators Gibson and Butler are two who have been of the strongest supporters of the administration, and both have urged the fullest publicity about appointments, so that the impression prevails that the administration favors and de.-“es open sessions. Senators I’latt and T igan, it is understood, will presently ask lor a vote on the proposition to open the doors. The Cliii-iigii Anarchists. Chicago, May 2S.—While the indict ments which were found against the an archists yesterday returned into court were only ten in number, apparently much to the dismay of the attorneys for the de fense, they really number sixty, as each of the ten is separately indicted for the mur der of six officers. Those ten are August Spies, Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden, Albert K. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George , Eagle, Louis Lingg, William Seliger, | Rudolph .Schnaubel and Oscar W.

Two colored men who belonged to Giles’ circus stopped at Monroe last winter when tlie show broke up, but their devilment didn’t cease.

Afterward a codicil was made giving one-fourth of the estate to his lawyer, Hon. J. M. Nesbitt, of Owingavilie, as a fee for sustaining the will, should he do so, since it was well kn mn that tlie validity of the will would be contested by the heirs, his wife only being thoroughly in sympathy with him in the whole mat ter. Col. W\ C. P. Breckinridge was also retained as counsel, and the will is in his handwriting. While attending to the busi ness connected with the will, Mr. Work man wrote a letter to Col. Breckinridge, which was so clear and sound that Col. Breckinridge declared it to he good evi dence of his sanity, and advised him to write as many letters as possible, os they would be valuable as evidence before a jury. But in 1SS2 he became a raving maniac, and died in that condition last fall in the eightieth year of his age. Although it was his purpose for very many years to leave Iris fortune to the church, still it was supposed by many that it would he an easy task t< break the will. Consequently, it was n matter i if great con gratulation on all sides when the compro mise was effected by which tiiu .southern Presbyterian church in Kentucky received one-half of t hi-: handsome estate, said now to be valued at i?50,000. The money is to be invested in intercst-benrintr securities, and only the interest is to oe used for church work in Kentucky. it was well known among his friends that when Mr. tVorkinsn nnee made ,.ji his mind no power on larlii < "tilt;-u, i". ■ him from his purpose. I.ilte a .Scoieiiinan, it was very important for him to he tight, since he never changed his mind. As an instance of tiiis, friends who had most supposed influence with him endeavored to have him bequeath it to the church in Kentucky direct or to some worthy cause under its care, but hi-; only reply was that he had made his wilC-ah'd- the 1 trustees of the genet,1 assembly must carry out its provisions as directed. He sustained Gilead church, in Hath coun ty. for many years, and when the building, at a distance from the pike, could no longer lie u-led, he purchased two acres of ground on the pike near Bethel, in Bath county, and erected a neat church ediiici at a cost of 83501it One acre of tli is church lot was set aside by him as a burial ground, and in this beautiful church yard til’s remains lie buried. That work and the legacy will stand as a lasting memorial to this godly man.

That there will have to he some sort of summer reception, for the purpose of presenting the new mistress of tl.e white house, will occur to everybody hi re as the correct aud desirable and pel hups inevi table thing. If there is such an event now it will be noted ns one of the most impor tant of the social events of this adminis tration, and will attract a distinguished throng of diplomatic, official and private persons, notwithstanding the lateness of the season. The arrangements for the Redding, so far as the president's movem..i,ts are con cerned, have been left in the hands of Col. Lamont. No more discreet and confiden tial agent was ever intrusted with the man agement oi'sueii a matter.

Brvnnt, a miser, died at At. Vincent's hospital this morning. For a great many years lie sold old coins and meiials opposite 'the old post- office on Nassau street. Jt i.s eleven years since the stand disappeared. One day the morning j upei'6 told how tlie old man Bry ant who kept it had been arrested on the charge of collusion with thieving office hoys who robbed their employers. When his story was finally told and it ap peared that tlie arrest was a job "putnip” on him by thieves who knew his reputation for saving, and had used tne opportunity to rob him at leisure while the police held him captive, tlie indignation took aiiuthei turn. Old Mr. Bryant had lived alone for years in a single room, hoarding his savings and denying himself almost the necessaries of life in order to scrape together the money that the thieves carried of!’ on the night after his arrest. How much it was was never satisfac torily established. The old man claimed that it amounted to fully $200,000. With characteristic distrust of banks lie had kept it in a secret bureau drawer. When old Bryant was released and hastened home it was only to find himself a pauper. He never appeared again at his old stand, but devoted his re maining years and strength to the pursuit of tlie thieves who had ruined him. Two were captured and convicted. They are now serving out twenty years’ sentence. But of the money tlie old man got but little or nothing. Under the weight of years and cares his mental and physical j health gave way in the end, and before the burglars come out to enjoy their I stolen wealth he will he long since buried in Potter's field.

The inhabitants were much alarmed, many taking their children witli them and repairing to cellars for safety. Much damage was done to prop- ! erty, but there has been no loss of lile yet reported. D.

Hois on a sixty day’s leave of abser.ee from his post, and has come home to look after some pri vate busi ness. In conversation with the News cor respondent he gave an int< resting account of ihe condition of the colony of southern ers wno went to Brazil just after the late war. ‘ These people,” said Hen. Arm strong, ‘‘left the United States 'miuediate- ly after hostilities ceased. They believed that the south could i.ot recover from the effects of the iron heel of the war, and that the people who participated in the war would never have any show in the recon structed union. They accordingly gath ered together their household goods and departed. WHKRE THEY ARK. “I found them situated 100 miles from Rio Janeiro in the- back country.

Crisp, a ve ry accomplished man from Tennessee. I «•>:- plained to some of the leading men of'the colony that they had in my opinion, made a mistake in leaving tlie United States. They seemed quite well contented, how ever, and said they would probably re main. There are now about 500 people all told in the colony.” HOLDING SLAVES. “Do they hold slaves?” “Some of them do. I advised them to get rid of them, however, and told them that it is a relic of barbarism that even in Brazil will soon pass away. 1 explained how the United States had advanced since the war, and they were very much aston ished wnen I told them that 1 would light before I would again permit slavery in my state.” “What are those people mostly engaged in?” “They are making a good deal of money out of raising watermelons. These arc- very large and exceedingly good. Tlie Brazilians had never raised any, hut buy them readily, and arc? very fond of them. The native population do little except raise coffee. It i.s hard to get them to under take anything else. COTTON RAISING. “The Americans are engaged also in the production of cotton, and this finds a ready market as the mills that have been started in tlie empire prefer it to any other. They arc, in a general way, quite prosperous, hut they need schools.* I shall take back some school teachers with me if possible.” “Do tlie young generation speak good English ?” “well, it is getting rather inferior and somewhat mixed. They need schools worse than anything else. The older mem- h'rsnf the colony take some paptrsfrom tlie United State- and I h-une that they had kept a general run of what was going on here. They seem to he proud that they are Americans, and only in one or two instances have they become naturalized to the Brazilian Em pin..” “Has the Brazilian Empire yet large tracks of uninhabit'd binds *" ".viuuoub ot acre.* witu uoUuog out die under tl.e v r.u ..i , powerful cat lisrt a-i.Vh have no cm tra il ive effects, rather than that t moot rn, . conceded specific :’<r kiut <.y disease whose j wurthjis uckr.u .vledgcd .sorld-a ide, should i save him.
