TAPPING THE VTIHEJ*.
The London Times, commenting on the
semi-official announcement that the next
call on the City of Glasgow Bank share
holders will be for, at least, £2,250 per
share, fears that this portends the rain of
every shareholder. It recommends that the
creditors accept fifteen shillings on the
pound.
A battalion of French Zouaves and skir
mishers on their way from Aumele to
Baghar in Algeria, to relieve the acting
garrison, were caught in a violent snow
storm on the 28th ultimo, and with difficulty
reached shelter after nineteen men had
perished with cold. Fourteen others are in
the hospital suffering from the effects of
the journey.
The London Tuna says, regarding the
vote in the House of Commons on the reso*
lution censuriDg the Zulu war policy of the
British Government, that *he opposition was
justified in its censure of Sir Bartle Frere,
and it believes that the government's nu
merical majority in the Commons was am ora-
defeat. It 6ays further: “The main qnes
tion, however, is our course in South AfjlJ
ca, which remains undetermined and must
some day be discussed with the utmost
care.”
The public debt statement published yes
terday shows an increase for March of
$892,721 17.
The jury in the Oliver-C’ameron breach of
promise case have brought in a verdict for
Simon Cameron. There are intimations of
a motion for a new trial or an appeal.
In the House yesterday Mr. Atkins, of
Tennessee, reported the legislative appro
priation bill. It appropriates between
$15,000,000 and $16,000,000 under the head
of judicial. It repeals the last clauses of
section 800 of the Revised Statutes, and also
sections 801, 820 and 821, and provides that
all juries shall be drawn publicly from a box
containing the names of at least three hun
dred persons possessing the necessary quali
fications, placed therein by the Clerk of the
Court, and a commissioner, of different po
litical opinions from the Clerk, to be ap
pointed by the Judge of the court. It also
repeals all sections and laws authorizing the
appointment of chief supervisors and spe
cial or deputy marshals of elections. It was
ordered printed and referred to committee
of the whole.
The House yesterday proceeded with the
consideration of the army appropriation
bill. Mr. Belford (Radical,/, of Colorado,
read a speech in which he declared that Mr.
Hayes might yield to the Democrats, but
the Radical party never would. He also
read out the information to the Democrats
that in 1880 they would again be sent to the
rear. He was followed by Mr. Humphrey:
(Radical;, from Wisconsin, who read i
speech on the same side. Mr. Muldrow
(Democrat ;, of Mississippi, then delivered a
speech in favor of the repeal of the law
allowing troops at the polls, in which he
denied that the Democrats were revolution
ary. He said that if the attempt to break
the chains of tyranny from the people was a
revolution it was a revolution which the
people would applaud, and he hoped that
Mr. Hayes would not attempt to coerce
Congress. He hoped that In republican
America the spectacle would not be pre
sented of the highest officer in the
land putting himself between the ope
ration of the government and the people.
Mr. Muldrow was followed by Mr. Chalmers,
of Mississippi, in a strong speech, in which
he used up Mr. Garfield’s late speech very
effectually. The debate, which was very
interesting, was joined in by several other
of the members on both sides, and much
feeling was manifested. The debate will
be resumed to-day.
At Texarkana on Friday last,Sam Crowley,
a conductor on the Texas Pacific Railroad
shot and killed one Thomas Hanks, a saloon
keeper and an ex-State Senator, because he
gave away a ring given him by Crowley
some time ago as a pledge for a debt.
The Agenrt Bush k of the opinion that the
presence of Turkish troops in Roumelia.
even as a contingent, would give rise to dis
turbance.
The Senate yesterday passed the bill ap
propnating $200,000 for the construction of
a steel vessel to be used for the disinfection
of vessels and cargoes coming from ports
supposed to be infected with yellow fever
or other contagious diseasee.
The debate in the House yesterday was
attended with a very high degree of excite
ment, which ran in sectional even mere
than in party grooved, and several sharp
things were said on bethddiss. Mr. Sparks,
who has charge of the bi 1, t-uggeated either
night sessions or earlier meetings. The Be
publicans raised objections to both these
propositions. Forty-five members’ names
are yet on the Speaker's list to speak on the
proposed repeal of the iaw allowing the
army ?t the polls, and this number will, it
is expected, be daily increased.
Lord Beaconsfleld will, on Friday, receive
deputations from the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce on the silver question.
A woman named Catharine Webb, now
called Webster, has been arrested In Ireland
for the murder, near Richmond, of her mis
tress, Mrs. Thomas, on the 28th ult. Frag
ments of the remains of the murdered
woman were found floating in the Thames,
cut up in small pieces, and wrapped in
brown paper. The woman says a man named
Church committed the deed, and forced her,
by threats, to help him. On being discov
ered in despoiling the bouse of Mrs. Thomas,
she 6ays she decamped to Ireland, and agreed
to go to America with Church as soon as he
was ready. Her story is doubted.
The decision of the Uuited States Supreme
Court in the case against the city of New
Orleans is exciting much interest there. The
Tima says that the money has not yet been
received, and the parties who sued for it
will have a difficult road to travel before
they do get it. The city will obey the man
damus and levy the tax, but there is no
power which can compel the taxpayers to
pay it, and it is very certain the city authori
ties will not be eager to enforce its collection.
Late Mexican advices states that as the
meeting of Congress approaches the indica
tions are that it will meet with difficulty in
making appropriations for the International
Exhibition. The Senate favors the measure,
but the opposition in the House will fight it.
Madame Bonaparte is dying of senile
df.cay in Baltimore. She has been dying
since Thursday, and her physicians say
nothing but her indomitable will has kept
her alive so far. She has no disease nor
suffering.
Mr. F. A. G Handy, of Richmond, Vs.,
who was in 1878 employed in the post office
in that city, testified before the Wallace In
vesting Committee yesterday that he receiv
ed a circular calling on him for subscrip
tions to the Republican campaign fund, but
he failed to respond to the same. Soon af
ter he was dismissed from the po6t office,
amd he always has believed it was because
of his failure to contribute.
A large vote was polled at the Chicago
municipal election yesterday. Three tick
ets—the Democratic, Radical and Socialist—
were in the field. Tne Socialist ticket was
headed by an old Republican who divided
the vote of that party, thereby making the
result close and rendering a Democratic
victory possible.
It is, says the Bridgeport Farmer, de
cidedly too late in the history of the Re
publican party for its orators to denounce
caucus decisions in the arrangement of
Congressional legislation. It would
trouble them to find exceptions to the
rule of caucus dictation during the time
that the Republicans controlled Congress.
There was scarcely a single measure of
importance enacted during that time
which was not the direct result of a cau
cus or was not approved by a caucus.
The resumption act is a notable instance
of the kind. The further point that it is
exceedingly improper for a caucus to
perfect measures to be presented for en
actment is almost too absurd for notice.
The only difference between the perfec
tion of a measure by one man and by
an assembly of men i3 that, in the
latter case, the measure is likely
to be better considered and
framed than in the former. It may be
appropriately stated in this connection
that, on the very day the Republican
Senators criticized the caucusing of
Democrats upon repeal legislation, the
Republicans held a caucus and decided
to resist the proposed repeals. We fail
to see how it is any more heinous to
combine for the perf ection and passage
of a measure than to combine in opposi
tion to the adoption of such measure.
The Republicans must be sorely pressed
for political ammunition when they thus
repudiate the history of their party in
Congress and trample upon their reputa
tion for consistency.
“Heathen Rome,” says the Christian
Advocate, in writing of the late walking
match, “ has come to New York.” And
it continues : “ The rabble of Rome,
who held the balance of power, de
manded games and contests and mortal
combats between men and wild beasts,
and between men and men, kept to
amuse the people and the rulers by kill
ing each other. Is it too much to say
that we have started in the same direc
tion ? This walking match differs from
a prize ffght as a suicide differs from
murder. ” A correspondent of the Con-
gregationalist of Boston remarks that in
passing the building and hearing the
noise within, one “ needed little aid of
imagination to believe himself in the
palmy days of the Roman Coliseum ;
and when he thought of the scores of
thousands of dollars wasted in this sport,
while Christ's poor are everywhere suf
fering for bread, and especially for the
bread of life, it almost seemed as if the
old-time massacres of God’s saints for
sport might some day be repeated nearer
home. ”
Counterfeit Fifty Dollar Notes.
—A large stock of counterfeit fifty dollar
notes on the Central National Bank, the
Tradesmen’s National Bank and the
National Broadway Bank, all of New
York city, remaining in the hands
of counterfeiters, they are now en
deavoring to utilize them by remov
ing the titles and substituting that
of the National Bank of Commerce of
New York. Several of these altered
notes have made their appearance in New
York. The object of changing the title
is to pass them the better, the old coun
terfeits having become so well known as
to render their passing almost an impos
sibility. Great caution should be exer
cised by those who handle fifty dollar
notes of the National Bank of Commerce,
as the counterfeits are good ones.
The Republicans pretend to be very
much afraid lest the Democrats should
“block the wheels of government.” The
only blocking of that kind will be done
by the President, if he carries out the
foolish inteation attributed to him by
his friends and vetoes the appropriation
bills, which provide grease for the wheels
pf government
Gen. J. C. Pemberton, the Confederate
officer (Lieutenant General) who surren
dered Vicksourg to General Grant, writes
to the Philadelphia Weekly Times deny
ing statements in General Joe Johnston’s
articles on the Vicksburg campaign, pub
lished in that paper two months ago. He
says; “After an absolute silence of more
than twelve years I shall endeavor to
show that neither General Johnston’s
official report, nor the pages of his ‘Nar
rative of Military Operations,’ which he
has offered as his ‘contribution of mate
rials for the use of the future historian
*t>f the war between the States,’ are wor
thy of the high purposes to which he
would have them applied where they
have relation to the Mississippi campaign
of 1863.”
The Republicans have formally com
mitted themselves to the policy of bayo
net interference at elections and the poli
cy of instant arrest without process.
They cannot retain their power without
these unrepublican features on the statute
book, and hence their fervid opposition
to their repeal
Sauce for the Goose Should be Sauce
for the Gander.
In 1872 the Republicans found it con
venient to insert in the sundry civil ap
propriation bill several important amend
ments to then existing statutes concerning
the employment of supervisors and
Deputy Marshals at elections, the gist of
which amendments were the recognition
and extension of arbitrary arrests on
election day. When, in 1879, the Demo
crats seek to repeal those amendments of
1872 and the laws upon which they were
based, and find it convenient to insert
this repeal in another appropriation bill,
the Democrats are told that this design
is “revolutionary.” But why more rev-.
olutionary in 1879 than in 1872 ? Why
more revolutionary in the repeal than in
the enactment :
The New York Post, ashamed to ad
vance an argument in justification of the
action of its party in forcing upon the
country the odious and oppressive Fed
eral election laws, still opposes their re
peal by the Democrats. It does not deny
that these laws were gagged through
Congress by the Radical party when it
had overwhelming majorities in both
Houses, in utter disregard of the rights
of the minority and of parliamentary
usage, but it maintains that it would be
wrong for the Democracy, now that the
tables are turned, to retaliate by insisting
upon repeal in the appropriation bills.
It takes the ground indirectly that “two
wrongs do not make a right.” This is
old-fashioned logic, and very sound logic
in ordinary cases, but it comes with a
bad grace from the perpetrators and up
holders of the original wrong. Two
wrongs do not make a right, but it is
equally certain that all wrongs should be
righted. Violent wrongs, like diseases,
justify violent remedies, and the moral
of the reme ly is often measured by the
moral of the wrong. When a burglar
enters your house, it is not expected that
you will be very ceremonious in his
ejectment When a thief is caught
with your property in his possession
a resort to & little roughness for its re
covery is excusable. When a corrupt
faction in possession of the government
resorts to extraordinay processes to ob
tain power to be used for partisan pur
poses, it is not only excusable, but it is
the duty of the people’s trusted repre
sentatives to employ any and every con
stitutional means to defeat the consp iracy
against the liberties of the people. If in
the discharge of this duty the Democrats
resort to the same extraordinary process
—if they demand the repeal of the elec
tion laws by the same means thit was
employed for their forcible enactment—
it will, in the judgment of the people, be
no condemnation of their course to say
that two wrongs do not make a right.
Mechanical Telegraphy.
We published yesterday a brief ac
count of the organization of “The
American Rapid Telegraphic Company”
of New York. A pampnlet issued by
the new company announces that its
organization is complete, that its plans
have been fully matured, and that it
will at once enter the field of compe
tition. If all the company claims and
promises shall be realized it will certainly
work a revolution in the telegraphic
business. The following description of
its method of transmitting messages
which we find in the New Orleans
Times, will be interesting: “The mes
sages are taken into the ‘punching room,
where the letters and words composing
it are ‘punched' by girls, in a machine
for that purpose on a long strip of pre
pared paper in Morse characters. The
strip of paper when filled with messages
is taken to the operating room, where it
is run rapidly between two rollers, on
one of which presses a platina point con
nected with one pole of the battery. The
roller itself is connected with the main
line, and the other pole of the battery
runs to the ‘ground’ wire. Thus it will
be seen that as long as the paper—an
insulator—is between the platina point
and the roller, no current can
pass over the line, but when
ever one of the punched holes
allows the point to come in contact, the
current flows from the roller to the point,
and thence over the line. Thus, the
platina point and roller become the
‘key’ of the ordinary Morse instrument
and the perforated strip the operator'
fingers, making and breaking the cur
rents into ‘dots’ and ‘dashes’ exactly
in accordance with the manner in which
it has been perforated. At the receiving
station, a strip of chemically prepared
paper, similar to that employed in the
Bain telegraph, is passed under a similar
roller, and the electric fluid passing from
the platina point which terminates the
main line, to the roller connected with
the earth, decomposes the chemical in
the paper, and thus produces, in a series
of dots and dashes, a counterfeit of the
perforated roll at the receiving station.
This strip is deciphered as it i3 unrolled
the message being copied and sent to its
destination.
‘ ‘Bv this method it is claimed that 480.
000 words can be sent over a single wire
in eight hours, while by the present
system 8,000 words in the same space of
time is the utmost
“The prospectus of the company gives
an estimate that the Western Union
Company telegraphs 240.000 words daily
at a cost of $324, while it, by the new
system, could send the same number of
words at an expense of 34:66, or 480,000
words daily at a cost of $04 GO. The
punching and copying will be done en
tirely by girls, thus giving employment
to large numbers of women.”
A singular fact in connection with the
new organization of the company, say
the Ban, is that the entire capital stock,
amounting to thirty thousand shares, is
held, according to the articles of incor
poration filed in. the County Clerk':
office, by three persons, of whom but
one, Mr. James B. Brown, is a New
Yorker. The other shareholders are
Edwin Reed, of Bath, Me., and Thomas
Wallace, of Ansonia, Coen. Each of
these three hold ten thousand shares of
the capital stock, the par value of which
is one hundred dollars per share. The
articles state that the organization wa ;
February 22, 1879, to continue fifty
years, terminating on January 1, 1929,
and the principal office must be in New
York city.
Cause of the Famine in the Valley
of the Nile.
The London Times in an editorial arti
cle commenting on the letter of its cor
respondent descriptive of the famine in
the Nile Valley says:-“This state of
affairs is immediately ascribed to last
year’s inundations and the failure of the
first wheat crop, but the real cause lies
in the permanent helplessness of the
fellah’s condition. He is so mercilessly
taxed that he is forced to live from hard
to mouth, and it is impossible for him to
make any preparation against the day of
temporary need; while he is so oppressed
with work and so reduced by insufficient
food as to loose all hope and energy, and
all power of physical or moral resistance.
The sole and simple cause of their misery
is to be found in their crushing taxation
and in the injustice with which it is ex
acted from them. And to what is this
due? Simply to the necessity of meet
ing the financial demands required
by the extravagant expenditures of
the Khedive, and his government mat
ters have now reached such a pass that
every turn of the screw by which the
payment of a coupon is forced from the
Khedive, in spite of deficient revenue,
represents another pang of torture in
flicted on the unhappy fellahs. There is
no reason for thinking the condition of
Egypt desperate. Good government
would in a moderate time restore ihe
country to a fairly prosperous condition.
But there is great reason to believe that
for the present the English and French
creditors must consent to forego their
full rights. To insist on those rights
might prove short-sighted for their own
interests, as well as cruel to the fellahs,
and it will be the duty of our govern
ment to look to the permanent welfare
of the Egyptian people in the first in
stance, rather than to the immediate
claims of the bondholders.”
The Silver Coinage.—According to
the Washington Star, it is the intention
of the Treasury Department as soon as
the April interest on the public debt is
paid, and the four per cent, refunding
certificates put well on their way, to de
vote considerable attention to the circu
lation of the standard silver dollar. Since
resumption the Treasury has sent out
upon orders therefor about $15,000 in
silver a day on a general average. The
coinage last month is $2,000,000. Since
the passage of the silver bill a large
amount of this coinage has accumulated
in the vaults. The amount grows every
month. It is understood to be the inten
tion of the Treasury to adopt such meas
ures as will get the monthly coinage into
circulation and reduce the amount now
in the vaults. A statement by the Chief
of the Division of Accounts, Treasury
Department, shows that since coinage
was commenced there has been received
$21,061,274 standard silver dollars from
the mint. Of this amount there remains
$15,656,198 in the Treasury offices. This
leaves a balance of only $6,605,076 in
circulation.
The English House of Commons is
still debating the Zulu war question.
Earl Beaconsfleld confesses thatEngland s
public wealth has decreased four hun
dred million dollars during the present
depression. He thinks it due to the de
preciation of silver and the abolition of
protection.
The Washington Republican (stalwart
organ) reports a prominent stalwart as
saying: “I know the Republican party
has gone to the dogs, and it s all through
the general incapacity, heedlessness and
judicial fairness of the administration.”
He might have said that the party has
gone to the dogs for want of a cause.
Difference In Cost.
The New York Star publishes some
valuable figures in regard to Democratic
and Republican expenditures for the
suppDrt of the National Government,
which are worthy of notice as showing
the difference between a Democratic
and Republican administration of af
fairs. Taking the last year of Demo
cratic administration, which ended with
June 30th, i860, we find that the ordi
nary expenses of the government for
that year, exclusive of pensions and in
terest on the public debt, were $58,955
952. These expenses were distributed
among the various departments as fol
lows :
For the W*r Department $16,472,302
For the Navy Department 11.5:4,^40
For the Iadian Department 2.991.121
For miscellaneous or civil 27,977.973
Examining now the record of the last
year in which the Republican parly was
in entire control of the national adminis
tration (the year ending June 30th, 1875),
the ordinary expenses of the government,
not including pensions or interest on the
public debt, amounted to $142,072,632
or $83,117,682 more than the expenses of
the government for the last year of Demo
cratic power. A similar comparison
between seven continuous years of Demo
cratic rule and a like period of Republi
can supremacy makes no better showin:
for the Republican party. Comparing
the seven fiscal yeai% commencing July
1, 1833, and ending June 30, 1860, with
the seven fiscal years beginning July-
1868, and terminating June 30, 1873, we
find that the total expenses of the gov
ernment during the seven years of Demo
cratic rule were $4:10,880,858, while the
total expenses of the government during
the seven years of Republican supremacy
were $1,004,192,838.
It will not do to say that this large in
crease in government expenses arises
from the increase in population, or from
the liabilities left by the war. As the
average annua! expenditures during these
years under Democratic administrations
was only $61,554,409, while under Re
publican rule it was $143,45S,119, so the
expenditure per capita was only $1 94
under Democratic sway during this pe
riod, while it was $3 43 per capita during
the seven years of Republican control
Nor is the increased expenditure to be
explained by the additional pensions that
have grown out of the civil war, nor by
the large payments of interest on the
public debt.
These are not included in the figures
given above, which embrace simply the
ordinary expenses of the government in
time of peace. The following table
shows the increase in detail in the vari
ons departments:

“The Navy of Georgia.*’
The following paragraph, which
possesses a local interest to many of our
readers, appeared in the Army and Navy
Journal, of New York, of the date of
March 8, as editorial:
“In noticing the interesting ‘Life of
Commodore Tattnall,’ some weeks since,
we had occasion to record that when
that officer passed out of the service of
the United States he received a commis
sion as ‘Senior Flag Officer in the Navy of
the State of Georsria.’ The circumstance
caused us to reflect on the question of
the States as naval powers; and to won
dcr if State navies now exist as well as
those State armies which certainly do, in
the form of miiitia. Under the Consti
tution of Massachusetts, it is said, the
Governor bears the sounding title of
Governor, Commander-in chief of the
Land and Sea Forces of the Common
wealth, Captain General and Admiral.
The navy of the United States has
been reduced to a very small compass
but who can say that there may not be
large State navies, commanded by Senior
Flag Officers and Admirals, whose ex
istence may hitherto have been almost
unsuspected by the general public?”
Iu the Army and Navy Journal
March 29, under the head of “The Navy
of Georgia,” our Atlanta correspondent,
Major Sidney Herbert, publishes a com
munication to the editor, of which the
following is the substance:
“In your issue of the 8th, in referring
to the recently published ‘Life of Conr
modore Tattnall,’ of this city, you in
dulge in some comments as to States as
naval powers. The Governor of Massa
chusetts, mentioned by you as bearing
the title of a naval as well as army com
mander-in chief, probably derives his
‘sounding title’ from old Colonial times.
In early years the Governor of this State
bore a similar high-sounding title. Un
der more recent constitutions, however,
his title is simply ‘Commander-in-Chief
of the Army and Navy of this State and
of the Militia thereof. ’
“Nor do I see any inconsistency in this
double title. If the Governor can raise
troops to defend the peace and safety of
the State, why may he not raise a force
of marines for a similar purpose? Sup
pose a State has large lakes or bays con
taining islands, and these need defense,
could not the Governor commission war
like vessels and a marine force to protect
them? Is not the ‘river police’ of New
York city in some sense a naval force of
the State or city of New York?
“When Commodore Tattnall came
South, just as the war cloud burst *
* * * and for quite a period after,
Georgia maintained an army and a naval
force of her own. Savannah and other
important points on the coast required
immediate defence, and for this purpose
quite a naval force was organized, and
Commodore Tattnall commissioned
Senior Fiag Officer in the Navy of .the
State of Georgia. Of course the perma
nent organization of the Confederate
States Government relieved the States
from the burden of protecting their sea
coasts and rivers from the Federal forces.
‘I think, if an humble suggestion of
the kind is in order, in this connection,
that States have the same power to create
naval forces that they have to organize
military commands for their own
defence, and that the Governor’s title,
which is constitutional, is the ground of
authority for the same. I certainly see
nothing inconsistent in this view of the
matter. ”
Preserving the “Purity” (1) of
Elections.—Before the Wallace Com
mittee of the United States Senate in
Philade’phia last Friday a witness told
who some of the Republican deputy mar
shals were. We quote:
Witness knew Philip Madden, a dep
uty of the Fourth ward. He was one of
the worst men in Philadelphia—violent
and dangerous. He has been out of
prison about eight months for highway
robbery. Andrew Lamvello, of the First
ward, is a fugiti/e from justice. Dan
Redding is a bad, dangerous character,
and lias been tried for muider. George
Cornelius is of bad reputation. Michael
Slater is a notorious repeater and thief.
Pitts, of the Seventh ward, keeps a gam
bling place—he is colored, and has been
arrested. Henry Scott (colored), of Lorn
bard street, has a bad reputation. Rad
ney F. Springfield, of theFfteenth ward,
wus tried for murder and acquitted. All
these persons were deputy marshals to
the knowledge of the detective. He also
mentioned several other deputies of bad
reputation.”
Senator Saulsbury has called upon
John Sherman to explain about the vast
sums deposited with certain favorite
banks and kept out of circulation. One
of Sherman’s pet banks made $1,000,000
in a few months on a capital of $600,000,
and it will be interesting to know how
much of a “divvy” Mr. bbermaa pocket
ed for his accommodating spirit.

Conflagration.
Special 2 elegram to the Morning Xeics
Amksicts, Ga., April 1.—Sunday about
noon the residence of Mr. E. Taylor was
entirely consumed by 'fire. The win J was
very high, and it is thought sparks from
chimney caught the root and the wind blew
it into flames. Mr. Taylor, his wife am
Mrs. Addison, a neighbor, were sitting in
room of the house, but before assistance
arrived the building was almost consumed.
Nothing was saved except one bedstead,
with bed clothing, and a sewing machine.
The dwelling was insured for one thousand
dollars. It was worth probably fifteen
hundred dollars. The household goods were
valued at about six hundred dollars, and on
these there was no insurance. The building
was a five-room frame house.
Several fine dwellings on the south side
of the street caught from flying sparks, and
if it had not been for the colored hook and
ladder fire • company, all would have been
lost. Among the dwellings that caught
were Dr. W. W. Barlow’s, Mr. 8. K. Tay
lor’s, Mrs. Addison’s, and a good many out
houses on several lots.
Mr. S. Fleischman’s dwelling on Jackson
street also caught from a chimney yesterday
morning, but with a little water was put out
without any damage.

tbsterday’s debate is the house.
Washington, April 1.—The debate to
day was at times attended with a very high
degree of excitement, and ran in sectional
even more than in party grooves. It opened
rather tamely with the reading of t^_o writ
ten speeches. These were followed by the
speeches of two Mississippi member?,
Messrs. Muldrow and Chalmers, which, &1
though bearing evident marks of having
been prepared, were delivered as if they
were made impromptu. The sectional feel
ing on the Republican side was stirred by
these speeches, and it was soon communi
cated to the other side. This was mani
fested in interruptions by Messrs. Price and
Conger, and sharp things said on either side
of the chamber were greeted in the two hos
tile camps.
Mr. Hurd’s speech was in marked contrast
to all the speeches of the day. It was de
livered in a calm, dispassioaed, lawyer-like
manner, and it was only toward the close that
this style was departed from, and that the
speech became heated with the prevailing
political fire.
There was a desire on the part of Mr.
Sparks, who has charge of the bill, to hurry
up the debate, and suggestions were even
made formally to have a night session for
that purpose or to have earlier meetings,
but the Republicans would not consent to
either of these suggestions. There are said
to be forty-five members on the Chairman
list for speeches and the number will be in
creased daily.
The galleries were filled all day, and
among the interested listeners on the floor
was ex-Representative Smith, of Virginia.
LATE MEXICAN ADVICES.
Citt of Mexico, March 24, via Havana,
April 1.—Names have been published of
seventeen Generals of division, with saiary
of $6,000 each per annum, and forty-five
Generals of brigades, with salaries of $4,300
each per annum, making the total amount
of $295,500 for those salaries. The opposi
tion press is making political capital of such
an excessive peace establishment of the
army, and of the fact that many of these
(icLerals hold civil offices.
As the meeting of Congress approaches,
apprehension- are entertained that it may not
be willing to make the necessary appropria
tions for the International Exhibition. The
Senate is sure to sustain the measure, but
the opposition in the House will fight it.
Senor Riva Palacce, Minister of Public
Works, is making strenuous efforts to in
sure the success of the exhibition.
Ex-Minister Romero Is accorded great
credit for his indefatigable labors to sap-
press the chronic corruption in the custom
house service. He has incurred the enmity
of the contrabandists by his efforts in this
direction. It is calculated that Romero’s
internal revenue law will add five million
dollars annually to the National Treasury.
The Supreme Court has decided the
existence of custom houses in the interior
to be unconstitutional.
On April 1st Mexico carriers into effect
the rates established by the Universal Postal
Convention.
ARRESTED FOR THE MURDER OF HER MIS
TRESS.
London, April L—A woman, Catherine
Webb, now called Webster, who was ar
rested in Ireland on the 28th ult., for the
murder, near Richmond, of her mistress
Mrs. Thomas, fragments of whose remains,
wrapped in paper and placed in a small pine
box, were found floating in the Thames, near
Barnes Terrace, Barnes, on the 5th ult.
She was arraigned at Richmond yesterday
for a preliminary examination. According
to her statements to the detectives, Mrs.
Thomas was murdered by a man
named Chuicb, while she (VV ebster) was
temporarily absent. Oa her return to the
house, Church, by threats, compelled her
to silence, to help him in disposing of the
body and removing the valuables. Every
thing but the furniture had been taken
away from the house, and they had a wagon
at the door to take that also* when a lady
residing next door interfered and inquired
where Mrs. Thomas was. Thereupon Web
ster decamped to Ireland, agreeing with
Church that they would go to America to
gether as soon as he was ready. Webster's
story is doubted.
THE MANDAMUS AGAINST NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, April 1.—The decision of
the United States Supreme Court yesterday
in the case of Moses Ranger vs. the City of
New Orleans, is the subject of conversation
in financial and business circles to-day. The
amount involved in this case is but little
more than $100,000, but the fact that other
holders of city bonds will now i£ek the
eame remedy occasions uneasiness.
The Time* says that in securing a man
damus Ranger and others have by no means
got their money, and the probabilities are
that they will follow a road full of difficul
ties before they reach It, if they reach it at
all The city will of course obey the man
damus, and levy a tax, but there is no power
that can compel the taxpayer to pay it, and
it is very certain that the city authorities
will not be very eager to enforce the collec
tion.
The Picayune says the tendency to enforce
contracts may now be taken as the settled
policy of the courts, and we may as well
prepare for its application in all cases affect
ed Dy the same principle.
CHICAGO MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Chicago, April 1.—A large vote was
polled at the muncip&l election to-day, the
result of which will not be known until
late hour. Three tickets were in the field,
the Republican, headed by A. M. Wright for
Mayor; the Democratic and Greenbackers,
headed by Carter H. Harrison, and the
Socialist, headed by Dr. Ernest Schmidt, an
old Republican, who is not known as a
Socialist.
Dr. 8chmldt is a gentleman of thorough
education, and on account of the respect
felt for him by his old party associates, he
receiving some Republican votes. This
division in the Republican ranks strengthens
the support of Harrison, and renders the
result very doubtful.
NOTES FROM THE ENGLISH CAPITAL.
London, April 1.—Lord Beaconsfleld will
receive on Friday the deputation from the
Liverpool Chamber of Commerce on the

A Farmer Killed with Poison.
After carefully investigating all de
velopments regarding the death of Ben
jamin Barnes, of Siiusan, Washington
county, N. Y., the authorities are satis
fied that he was poisoned. They suspect
his wife, nephew, and son in law. The
latter, whose name is Priest, is of bad
reputation. He was married to Barnes’
only child a year ago, against the wishes
of the father, but with the mother’s
sanction. At the instigation of Barnes
the villagers tarred and feathered Priest.
It is charged that Mrs. Barnes, who is
forty five years of age, and the husband’s
nephew, who is tif'.een years younger,
have been criminally intimate. When
Barnes first became sick, last week,
Wednesday, Dr. Maynard supposed he
was suffering from a bilious attack.
Within two days unmistakable symptoms
of poisoning were developed. AT
ithe doctor's suspicions were aroused]
against members of the family’, he pro
cured a nur.-e for his patient. On Satur
day night Mrs. Barnes gave her husband
a cup of milk to drink; from that moment
be failed until death ensued on Monday.
Mrs. Barnes bought an ounce of arsenic
early last week at the village drug storel
having a female companion with her,
outside. She claims that she lost the
Idrug while going home. The nurse no
ticed that she carefully rinsed the cup
from which her husband drank. She
and the nephew say that the husband
was probably poisoned by drinking wa
ter from a spring near the house, but
others have constantly done the same
without evil results. It is a matter of
common notoriety that quarrels in the
family have been frequent, owing prin
cipally to Barnes taking his daughter
home and not permitting Priest to enter
the house. Some neighbors say he has
lately been jealous of his nephew, and
that he spoke to his wife about the sub
ject ten days ago. Mrs. Barnes con
stantly sits in the room with the corpse
mourning and lamenting. She is under
guard. A post mortem examination will
be reported to the jury. The physicians
will certify that Barnes was poisoned.
Giving Too Much Play ro His Hu
mor.—A telegram from Pittsburg. Pa.,
March 27, says: ‘ Ye>:«-rday afternoon an
old man, named John W. Haramell, was
painting the front of a store on Penn ave
nue. He stood on a high office stool in
oider to reach up as far as possible. John
Wilkinson, a member of the fire depart
ment, came along with a couple of hia
friends, and said to them, with a laugh:
‘Wouldn’t it be a good joke to knock the
stool from under the old manf The
others urged him to do so, and he gave
the stool a kick that km>cked it out into
the street. Hamm el fell on his head and
side, and was fatally injured. His skull
is fractured, and four of his ribs are
broken. He is over sixty years old.
Wilkinson was arrested and is now in
jaiL”
The Noise of the Finger.—In the
current number of the Mcdieal Record,
Dr. Hammond says that when you poke
the end of your fiDger in your ear the
roaring noise you hear is the sound of
the circulation in your finger. Which is
a fact, as anyone can demonstrate for
himself by first putting hi%flngers in bis
ears and’then stopping them up with
other substance. Try if and think what
a wonder of a machine your body is, that
even the point cf your * fingers are such
busy workshops that they roar like a
small Niagara. The roaring is probably
more than the noise of the circulation of
the blood. It is the voice of all vital
processes together—the tearing down and
building up" processes that are always
going forward in every living body,from
conception to death.

One of the most heroic incidents of
the massacre of the British camp on the
borders of Zuzuland is related by a cor
respondent of the Daily Xeica. It seems
that when all was over, the ammunition
being exhausted and nothing remaining
for the men to do but to sell their lives
as dearly as possible, a desperate hut
triumphant effort was made to save the
colors from the foe. Melvill, the Adju
tant of the 24th, and Coghill, Sir Bartle
Frere’s Aide-de-camp, managed to fight
their way through the enemy who was
surrounding them, Melvill having tom
the colors from the poles and carried
them off. They reached the Buffalo
nver—about nine miles off—in safety,
though closely pursued by the enemy
but in attempting to swim the river both
the horses were carried away by the
stream, and they just succeeded in reach-
ing the opposite bank still grasping the
colors, where they were so exhausted
that they were unable to go any further
A volunteer, who had been with them up
to this time, with difficulty effected his
escape, being, of course, unable to give
them ;tny assistance in their defenceless
condition, and the last he saw of them
was that a crowd of the enemy was clos
ing round them.
The Champion Old Man.—The oldest
man in the world is claimed to be one
Miguel Solis, living at Bogota, in the re
public of Stm Salvador. Dr. Louis Her
nandez writes to the New Pesther Jour
nal the following particulars: “Htsname
figures in the list of subscribers to the
Franciscan convent cf San Sebastian in
13. He can still work; his skin is like
parchment; his hair plentiful, hut snow
white and rolled about his head in turban
fashion. His eyes are Tuil of fire. He
answered every question in the clearest
manner, and accounted for his astonish
ing longevity in these words: “ I have
never to my recollection eaten more than
once a day. The 1st and 15th of each
month 1 fast rigorously from all food,
but drink a great quantity of water,
always eat my food cold. I have never
committed the least excess in drinking. ’ ”
It Took the Wife to Do It.—Tne
wife of Farmer Henderson, of Fough
keepsie, took the hull by the horns on
Tuesday. Her son had been attacked in
the barnyard and thrown high in the air.
Down came the lad on the roof of the
shed, and as he was sliding down toward
the yard where the bull was waiting for
him, his father appeared on the scene
with a pitchfork. He undertook to drive
the infuriated beast into the stable, and
was himself cornered. At this moment
Mrs. Henderson, having heard the alarm,
entered the yard, and, seizing the four-
tinod pitchfork, charged the bull with
such impetuosity that he beat a hasty re
treat
Mrs. Muriel took great interest in par
ish affairs. Last year she promised to
assist in decorating the parish church.
One illuminated text she thought would
look well over the cancel screen, and
she requested her husband to bring it
from town. As might have been expect
ed, he forgot the text, and wired lo his
wife for particulars. To the surprise of
all the telegraph clerks, this message
came flashing over the wires: “Unto us
a child is born, nine feet long by two feet
broad.”—Englith newpaper.
