TAPPING THE WIBKS.
Both houses of Congress adjourned eariy
on Saturday to attend the funeral of the
late Fernando Wood. In the Senate, the
credentials of Messrs. Camden, of West
Virginia, and Jackson, of Tennessee, were
presented. A number of proposed amend
ments to the river and harbor bill were in
troduced and referred, and the discussion of
the cattle diseases bill was resumed. After
several speeches had been made upon the
bill, the Senate adjourned.
In the House, Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
from the Committee of Ways and Means,
reported the bill repealing the laws impos
ing taxes on bank checks, matches, medi
cines, etc. Mr. Cox said that as he had
heard nothing from the Republican confer
ence in reference to the aportionment bill,
he would defer calling up the bill until he
learned definite from the other
side. After agreeing to the conference re
port upon the army bill the House ad
journed.
A furious thunder storm set in after dark
ou Friday at Springfield, Tennessee. A
night session of the court was called to con
clude the trial of the LsPraede murderers.
The jury were charged and the Sheriff re
tired with the prisoners towards the jail. A
mob of two hundred persons crowded on
the officers, took the prisoners and hung
them from the second story windows of the
court house. The two who were released
on turning State’s evidence fled, and are
reported to have been lynched near Guth
rie, Kentucky. The Tennessee Senate has
condemned the mob’s action in strong
terms.
Seven American prisoners who attempted
to escape from a Mexican jail at El Paso
del Norte, were fired on by the guard.
Thiee were killed and the rest surrendered.
Several Land League meetings were held
in Brooklyn yesterday, at one of which
Father Mackey, lately arrived from Ireland,
made a 6trong speech on the programme of
the League leaders.
Two vessels loaded with cotton were
burned in Monroe, La., on Saturday, caus
ing a loss of $30,000.
The House Committee of Ways and
Means gave a hearing oa Saturday to repre
sentatives of the sugar trade of New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities, at
which Secretary Sherman was present. It
was urged on behalf of the trade
that the laws gave no war
rant for the interference of the
Treasury Department in the manner com
plained of. Secretary Sherman claimed that
the department had the right to test the
values of imported sugars, and would ex
ercise it until the law was changed. He
urged legislation on the subject, however,
at the present session.
A dispatch from Cape Coast Castle, under
date of the 10th inst, says the hostilities
with the Ashanteesis momentarily expected.
Mr. Parnell yesterday addressed a large
meeting in King’s county. He advised
the tenants to stand firm, and congratulated
himself upon having prevented the suspen
sion of the habeas corpus act thus far by
obstruction.
The changes in the new rules of the
House of Commons were submitted on
Friday night. It is thought they will now
meet the approval of the Conservatives.
The Pope is reported to be displeased
with the League leaders for their connection
with Rochefort and his associates.

Appleton*' Journal for March gives a
varied bill of fare, including adventure,
travel, literary criticism, historic criti
cism, romance, and social essays. In
“Adventures in Patagonia” we have a
very fresh and stirring paper, giving a
number of graphic descriptions of
ostrich hunting, deer hunting, puma
shooting, and other nomadic adventures
in that far-off land. The hunters were
three English gentlemen and Lady
Florence Dixie, the article being based
on Lady Dixie’s work describing the
journey. “Scotch Orthodoxy and Modern
Thought” is a searching and suggestive
review of “Scotch Sermons,” which
just now is attracting so much attention
in literary and theological circles. There
is probably no more unique and pictur
esque figure in history than Suwarrow,
or Suvaroff, the famous Russian General
of the last century; and the paper in the
Journal describing his strange and fan
tastic character is one of really intense
interest A paper entitled “Some of
Shakespeare’s Female Characters” has
fresh interest, if only from the fact that
it comes from the pen of the once
famous English actress, Helena Faucit,
now wife of Sir Theodore Martin, author
of the “Life of the Prince Consort “Then
we have papers on “Tennyson’s New
Drama,” on “George Eliot,” on “The
Criterion of Poetry,” and on “Some Re
cent Novels.” There is an original story
by Barnet Phillips, and the conclusion
of Erckmann Chatrian’s “Veterans of
Yesterday.” The editor has several
papers, including a discussion of the
Shakespeare and Bacon question, with
some fresh suggestions on the topic, and
a wholesale assault on the theory that
women have superior intuitions to men.

The indications are that &u extra ses
sion of Congress will be called very soon
after the inauguration of Mr. Garfield.
The Republican managers are desirous
of an early distribution of the “ spoils ”
as well as of dictating the disposition of
such matters as refunding and reappor
tionment, and they are accordingly so
manipulating matters in Congress as to
furnish an excuse for an extra session.
One very conclusive proof of this be
injjr jheir.wnTse is found in the fact
that newly elected members of Congress
from the Pacific-.const are to be in or
near Washington by March -i*h. Sena
tor-elect Miller (Rep., Cal.) has aii'C?dy
arrived at New York. And yet, we
seem to remember that but two or three
years ago the Republican press furiously
declared that extra sessions of Congress
were disastrous to business interests by
reason of the uncertainty necessarily en
gendered by them, and that the Demo
cratic party deserved the severest possi
ble punishment for having necessitated
an extra session.
Mr. Schuyler Colfax, who is perhaps
as thorough a parliamentary law student
as lives, has written a letter to the editor

liamentary power for his act
Serious Charges Against the Treas
ury Department
The rules adopted by the Treasury
Department for regulating and collect
ing the customs duties on imported
sugars have long been a source of com
plaint to the refiners of the North and
West, who charge that the Department
riles are illegal and oppressive, and that
unjust discriminations are made against
them in favor of certain prominent re
finers in New York city. It seems that
the law on the subject is so bung
liDgly worded that the Secretary of the
Treasury Is given great latitude in declar.
isg how the different grades of sugars
shall lie tested, so as to decide on the du
ties due on them, and the refiners charge
that, through the medium of these rules
extortionate rates of duties are exacted.
Yet despite their manifest injus
tice to refiners generally, it has long been
a subject of comment that certain New
York refiners have enjoyed advantages
not accorded to those in other places,
and this, it is s hrcwdly suspected, is the
resuK of gross favoritism.
Our dispatches this morning announce
that a hearing was Saturday,
by the House Ways and Means Commit
tee, to delegations from various cities
representing the sugar interests, and
that great complaint was made against
the Treasury Department for its
rulings on the question of duties. We
see it also stated in a Washington
dispatch, that the sugar men do not hesi
tate to charge direct collusion between
the Treasury officials and Theodore
Havemeyer, of the refining house of
Havemeyer & Elder, of New York.
They charge that H. B. James, chief of
the customs division, is the constant ob
ject of Havemeyer’s attention; that
when he goes to New York he is dined
by Havemeyer, and driven about the
city and to the parks. So constant and
profuse are the attentions shown him
that they have been for some time re
marked by the mem beof the sugar
trade in New Yo.kJ X*e Havemeyer
refinery is one of the largest in the
country, and it is evident, so
the sugar men say, that Theodore
Havemeyer is using the customs officials
to further his business designs. He does
not want a change in the law because, it
is said, he receives exceptional favors
under it as it now exists. In other words,
the Treasury officials are charged with
granting favors to his firm. How sub
stantial those favors are may be judged
from the fact that, as it is alleged, the
polariscope test is not always applied to
Havemeyer’s sugars. Some time ago,
for instance, Havemeyer and some other
sugar importer received equal parts of a
cargo of sugar. After it had been ware
housed the polariscope test was applied
to one and not to Havemeyer’s sugar.
The result was that there was a differ
ence of $2,700 in the customs charges in
favor of Havemeyer.
It is further stated that the sugar mer
chants insist that they can establish a
currupt connection through James and
the Treasury Department, and though we
do not presume to state that their charges
are true, certainly circumstances would
indicate that they are not foundationless.
The fact that while all the other refiners
in the country have, from time to
time, complained of the conduct of
Secretary Sherman and his subor
dinates in this matter, Havemeyer
has always been perfectly satisfied
with the condition of affairs; and the ad
ditional fact that the late Hon. Fernando
Wood, of New York, who was a per
sonal friend of Mr. Havemeyer, as
Chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means, was opponent of
a change in the law regulating customs
duties on sugars and its mode of execu
tion by the Treasury Department, are
very suspicious.
Another hearing is to be given the re
finers on Tuesday, and it is not unlikely
that their charges as above intimated
may assume tangible form. It is hardly
porobable that anything can be done
through the Ways and Means Committee
at this Congress, because the session is
drawing on so rapidly to a close, and it
will be impossible for a bill or resolution
on the subject to be reached on the cal
endar. If the sugar men can make out
their case, however, a change in the law
will be so imperatively demanded by
justice that the next Congress cannot
refuse to ignore the question.
The Next Senate.
Should a Republican Senator be elect
ed in Pennsylvania, as is probable ulti
mately, the Senate of the next Congress
will be composed of thirty-seven Demo
crats, thirty-seven Republicans, and Mr.
Davis (Ind., 111.) and Mr. Mahone (Read-
Juster Dem„ Va.) Should Mr. Garfield
nominate Mr. Davis to the Supreme
Court bench, the Republicans would
control the Senate, either through Vice
President Arthur’s casting vote or the
aid of Mr. Mahone. The chances are,
however, that Mr. Davis will remain in
the Senate, and that, with the exception
of one or two offices, the Democrats will
control the organization. Mr. Gorham,
of California, who bolted the Republican
State ticket there a year or two since and
who was generally denounced at the
time by the Republican press, as thor
oughly dishonest and corrupt, but who
recovered caste by arduous underground
work for Garfield last year, is likely to
be chosen Secretary of the Senate
through the aid of Mr. Mahone. There
have been intimations recently that Sena
tor Davis, of Illinois, would be made
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
but what return he is to make therefor
has not transpired. Secretary Sherman
is said to be on the “slate” for his old
position of Chairman of the Finance
Committee, but how he will secure it is
still a mystery. Possibly the Mahone
bargain msy extend to that point.
It is to be hoped that the bill intro
duced in the House, on Monday, limit
ing the expenses to be allowed to prin
cipals in contested election cases to
$2,000 each, will become a law. The
lot of disputants in this respect has not
heretofore been a very hard one. The
practice has been to defer final action
upon such c&jes until the last session of
the Congress in which they are
brought. Then if the contestant is ad
mitted to a seat his salary dates from
beginning of the Congress, the con
tested i&viog also drawn salary from
that time. £j' ideß . both are allowed
expenses at their terms. The ad
vantages of such an arrangeilL® 2 * are 80
manifest that of late there has bed? a
decided disposition to take up oontasting
seats for a livelihood. The purpose of
the resolution is to take election cases
from the category of profitable pro
fessions.
Great damage to the stock raising In
terests in the Western States and Terri
tories will inevitably be one of the re
sults of the long continued storms. A
prominent Montana ranchman is quoted
as saying that he fears the loss of all his
cattle, and that if his sheep live through
they will cost him $5 a head. The same
ranchman is feeding hay which cost him
$45 per ton. Such complaints come
froma lmost every section.
Another Opportunity for the Appli
cation of the Monroe Doctrine.
“There is just now,” says the New
York Commercial Bulletin, “quite a re
markable manifestation of national
sympathy and financial good will be
tween Franoe and Canada, which
promises to work out important results.
The plethora of capital in the former
country is seeking employment, through
the all-pervading form of the syndicate,
with an earnestness which promises to
rapidly develop the resources of the Do
minion and at the same time to give
profitable opportunities to the ever
restless speculators on the Seine.
The Franco Canadian Credit Fon
der—one of the latest of these
ventures—is an offspring of the Paris
and Netherlands Bank, which proposes
to organize a whole series of undertak
ings, such as working up the phosphate
deposits in the Ottawa valley, introduc
ing beet root cultivation and sugar man
ufacture, and last, but not least, estab
lishing a line of steamers between France
and Canada. As far as we can ascer
tain, there is abundant capital at the
back of the company, and it will prob
ably not be long before our neighbors on
the other side of the St. Lawrence re
ceive the benefit of it”
As the French capitalists have not
asked permission of the United States
Government to invest their capital in the
development of the resources and com
merce of Canada, the question arises
whether or not the Monroe doctrine
would apply in their case. To be sure
the working of the phosphates of the
Ottawa valley and the introduction of
beet root sugar cultivation is a
little different from building a
ship canal in the benefits of
which the commercial world, the United
States included, will equally participate;
but, inasmuch as these things are to be
done jjy this continent with foreign
capital and without asking our permis
sion, the principle involved is very nearly
the same in both cases. If we are un
willing that foreign capital shall seek
investment in commercial or other enter
prises on this continent, if we are pre
pared to make good the boast that
“No pent up Utica contracts our powers,
But the whole boundless continent is ours,”
we might as well begin by a declare
tion of hostilities against the Franco-
Canadian Credit Foncier.
Why the Grant Ring Oppose the
Panama Canal.
“Capt. Eads,” says the Courier Jour
nal, “is probably right in saying that
Grant and his canal group have no idea
of constructing a canal across Nicara
gua. All they want is to kill off De
Lesseps, if possible, and prevent the
completion of any water route which
will compete with the rail routes.
Grant himself is interested in securing
immunity from water route competition
for the railroads constructed and to be
constructed to the Pacific. The method
of the Central and Union Pacific with
reference to the Pacific Mail and the
Panama railroads shows very clearly
that if transcontinental railroad compa
nies ean prevent serious competition,
they will not hesitate to use their
power. The Pacific Mail, it will
be remembered, has been compelled to
carry only a certain amount and quality
of Pacific coast freight, so as not to in
terfere with the railroads. A through
water route will transfer a large portion
of transcontinental freight to steamers,
and hence the opposition to De Lesseps’
canal under pretense of asserting an
‘American policy’ with reference to the
isthmus. If an interoceanic canal is
really a commercial necessity for Europe,
as well as for the United States, the
United States Government cannot adopt
the dog in-the-manger policy and say to
a foreign company: You shan’t build
any canal ; but we do not care about
building one ourselves.’ A declaration
like that requires a powerful navy back
of it, and we have no navy which de
serves that name.”
A Future Question With Mexico.
It is said that the Mexican Govern
ment, in its grants of subsidies to Amer
ican citizens and corporations, has over
done the business and involved itself in
obligations which will in the end cause
that country to fall into the hands of the
grantees. These grants have been made
to railroads and interoceanic and inter
national corporations—to Jay Gould,
Russell Sage, Huntington, Nickerson
and others, and convey such powers as
will enable the corporations to build
roads over the most important parts of
the country, and hold it till
American immigration shall pour in and
occupy its rich mines, Its fertile
lands and its water power sites. It is
stated that the subsidies granted in the
last few months amount to $96,000,000,
conditioned only on the building of the
railroads and thp completion of the other
enterprises—and this, too, although the
government has not a dollar in the
Treasury to pay the obligations with.
The grants, therefore, amount to a mort
gage of the country to American corpo
rations—and this will ultimately result
in the ownership of Mexico by the
grantees.
This, remarks the St. Louis Republi
can, suggests some interesting possibili
ties in the future. The favored corpo
rations, when they shall have built their
works, will demand their granted subsi
dies, and failing to receive them, will
call upon their government to exact
them, in the same way the French Gov
ernment attempted to enforce the Jecker
claims in 1864 —by war. The question
then will be that of war with Mexico—
whether our people will or will not con
sent to an invasion of that country to
secure the claims of its citizens.
Carlyle once asked an Edinburgh stu
dent, who tells the story in the Mil
waukee Sentinel, what he was studying
for. The youth replied that he had not
quite made up hia mind. There was a
sudden lightning flash of the old 3cot£h
man’s eye, a sudden pulling down of
the shaggy eyebrows, and the stern face
grew sterner as he said: “The man with
out a purpose is like a ship without a
rudder; a waif, a nothing, a no man.
Have a purpose in life, if it is only to
kill and divide and sell oxen well, but
have a purpose; and having it, throw
such strength of mind and muscle into
your work as God has given you. ’’
Work os De Lesseps’ Canal.— The
French engineers, who have gone to
Panama to begin surveys on the Panama
canal, are now hard at work. Land
lo,-ds have raised their rents to extrava
gant Ss*-res, and provisions are a hun
dred per cent. d?arer than formerly.
Orders for frame houses to be built in
the United States and shipped in sec
tions have gone forward. The wages
offered common laborers are twenty dol
lars per month, with board and lodging,
and the aupply is abundant at that price.
Dr. Gilbert, the editor of the Palestine

Mr. Parnell’s Policy.
Editor Morning News: It is pleasant
in these latter days to be criticised cour
teously by gentlemen of differing opin
ions, as you and your correspondent
“Emerald” have done. But permit me,
in reply, to say that neither of you have
touched upon the point of my article —
the delusive language of Mr. Parnell in
relation to our own country. Men who
aim to lead a people know that words are
powers, and on occasions select them
with a view to create impressions
Had a common man written to the
Land League as Mr. Parnell
did, we might have put it down
as “buncombe.” But when Mr. Parnell
uses them as formally as he did, we are
warranted in attaching to them an im
portant significance, “that this country
was the point d'appui of his policy”—
which is an illusion. In speaking of Mr.
Parnell’s course I went no farther than
is warrantable in fair discussion, and
neither slandered him or his ambition,
unless the comparison with O’ConEell be
a slander. Now here is a wide
difference, apparently, between “Emer
ald” and me. I cannot see in Mr. Par
nell’s method any resemblance to O’Con
nell’s beyond an agitation. I have kept
up pretty well with Mr. Parnell’s course,
from Irish papers and the general sources
of current information, and I see it only
leading to one of those unfortunate ris
ings that have brought blood and misery
to the people of Ireland. The military
and naval power of England are too
great for successful insurrection in Ire
land; and, with the geographical posi
tion and history of Ireland in mind, it
is as plain as the sun at noonday that
England must, for her own integrity,
hold on to Ireland so long as she has a
dollar or a man to do it with. I am
aware that one of the clfcrgy attends the
meetings of the Land Leagues, but what
can the clergy, or any one else do, when
the people become so excited as to take
the bits in their teeth and dash off on
their own account. What does history
teach on that head ? I took up
Froude, but found him so full
of prejudices and misrepresenta
tions that I put him down,
content with my previous historical
study of Ireland. The minds of men
are not ground to the same lens, hence
their views of men and things differ as
we three do, I see as an ardent Ameri
can, “Emerald” as a fervid Irishman,
our foci are not the same, and conse
qently the pictures are different. I read
in O’Connell’s life one of the greatest
characters of the human race, and ad
mire the far-reaching wisdom of his
policy, and I can see no parallelism be
tween him and Mr. Parnell. And, 1
think I can venture to say, without fear
of being called a slanderer, that O’Con
nell would never have consorted with
the Communists of France.
The News tells us to day (Saturday),
that “it is reported that Mr. Parnell has
told Victor Hugo that though insurrec
tion would be justifiable, the League
discouraged it, as the Irish are unarmed”
(ours the italics), and that “Mr. William
Shaw, Home Rule member for Cork, has
issued a manifesto addressed to the
Catholic Bishop of Cloyne, in which he
reviews the course of the Irish Parlia
mentary part}', and denounces those who
hint at physical force, only to abandon the
people when the pinch comes ” (italics ours).
This is pretty hard language. But it
demonstrates that there are two ways
of thinking in It eland in regard to Mr.
Parnell’s policy.
A Citizen of the United States.
Senator Bruce’s Cabinet Aspirations.
A special dispatch to the New York
World says: “The movement in favor
of the appointment to the Cabinet of
Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, has by
no means been abandoned. It is claimed
by many Republicans of the South, both
wltitc and colored, that their section
should have a representative, and that
Senator Bruce is in every way the
proper man. Mr. Bruce has said that he
would accept the appointment as
Postmaster General or Secretary
of the Interior, two offices,
especially the former, for which
he thinks he is competent. He has no
desire for the Navy Department, which
would bring him in contact with officers
whose prejudices and education might
cause them to shrink from him. He
has given the Post Office Department a
good deal of attention, and it is claimed
that he would manage it with skill.
When Senator Bruce’s name was first
mentioned in connection with the
Cabinet, the Republicans objected
that the Southern Democrats would
regard the appointment as an af
front. Senator Lamar said to day
on the subject: ‘So far from objecting
to the appointment of Senator Bruce, the
Mississippi delegation, and I think most
of the Southern members, would choose
him as the representative Southern Re
publican. Neither I nor any other
Southern Democrat has taken an active
part in his behalf, but we all feel enough
friendship and regard for him to make
it as plain as words can put it that if a
Southern Republican is to go into the
Cabinet, no application would please us
more than that of Bruce. He is modest
and intelligent—in short,a noble negro.’”
Telegraph Wires Underground.—
A number of electricians visited Cam
den, N. J., last week, for the purpose
of inspecting a system of underground
telegraphy which has been laid for a
square on Arch street in that city by the
National Subterranean Electric Com
pany. The wires are conveyed through
terra-cotta pipes bored with numerous
small holes, and the necessity of tearing
up the road when a break occurs is
obviated by a “man hole” at the end of
the street, to which the wire is drawn by
means of a reel. The Philadelphia
papers say the tests were of the most
satisfactory character. The company,
organized under the laws of New Jer
sey, propose locating the lines in differ
ent cities, and allowing the telegraph
and telephone companies to use either
the pipes or the wire for a certain con
sideration, thus doing away with the
present system of poles and wires above
ground, which are so liable to be disar
ranged by storms.
Senator David Davis Upon the Re
organization of the Senate Offices.
A prominent gentleman who is intimate
with Senator Davis, of Illinois, told a
Washington Star reporter on Friday
that the latter would vote to maintain
the present organization of the Senate;
that Senator Davis said that a move
ment by the Republicans to reorganize
would be entirely and essentially a par
tisan effort for the benefit solely of the
Republican party ; that to support such
a movement by his vote would be for
him to sustain “rank partisanship,”
while in voting to continue the present
status he maintains his independence.
Therefore, if any change is made in the
Senate, it must be by General Mahone
voting with the Republicans, unless
Pennsylvania shall delay the election of
a Senator until after the sth of March.
That would leave the Democrats easy
victors.
Now that he is not a Presidential
candidate and an election is not pending,
Secretary Sherman does not hesitate to
affront the powerful sugar trade of New
York city. Indeed, since the November
election, he has taken a remarkably in
dependent course, in strong contrast to
his policy for the year previous to the
election. Scarcely had the ballot-boxes
been closed before he ceased to “ease
the money market” and left Wall street
to obtain speculative funds as best it
could. Then he made a ruling which ex
cited great indignation among the iron
ipanufacturers. Now he has offended the
sugar dealers by a ruling which injures
their interests—illegally, they say. Mr.
Sherman now needs naught from the
merchants, manufacturers and brokers,
and appears to have taken especial pains
to inform them of the faoL
gw Adrfrtisrmnits.
