Washington, January 31.—Tlie
HmiHe elections eonmiittee heard the
concluding argument in the Hainey
caw and will decide upon the report
Thursday next.
PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Arguments in reference to tlie Pu-
ciflc railroad committee will be con
cluded to-morrow.
Huntington of tlie California
Southern Pacific made a strong s|>eeeh
in contradiction of the statements
made by Gov. Brown and Col. Bond
in regard to the intentions and ca
pacity of his company.
The State Department has otlicial
information that tlie Turkish block
ade is extended to the port of Damzzo
in tlie Adriatic.
The Senate committee reported fav
orably on Wiskersham jiost master,for
Mobile and Lewis naval officer at
Louisiana.
The weather is inclement. Home
of the committee rooms are partially
Hooded and general political business
impeded by almost Impassable streets.
THE PACIFIC KAII.ROAD DISCUSSION.
The House committee on Pacific
railroads to-day continued its hearing
of arguments on the Texas and South
Pacific bills. James H. Storrs in be
half of the South Pacific replied to
tlie arguments of Gpv. Brown as to
the power of Congress to authorize
tlie Texas company to construct a
railroad in California and to bridge
tlie Colorado river, citing decisions of
tlie Supreme Court wherein the right
of the eminent domain is vested in
the State and not in tlie Federal
Government, and also from the de
cision in the Omaha bridge case
where the court expressly waived the
question of the power of Congress
over the subject, as not being then
before it. He also refuted the allega
tions of Saturday, as to the cost and
profits of building the Central Pacific
Railroad, that having been made the
subject of an exhaustive investigation
by 'tlie Forty-third Congress where
file committee, by a vote of 10 to 3,
decided that no further investigation
was necessary.
Mr. C. P. Huntington then address
ed tlie committee in reply to Col
Scott’s argument made lust week.
He denied the jissertion that the
Southern Pacific and Central Pactlc
were tlie same thing, and said they
were quite distinct in tlie organiza
tion and aims ; Hint when completed
through to tlie East the South
Pacific Road would compete for
the business now enjoyed by tlie
Union and Central lines. He ex
plained that years ago, before any of
these questions had arisen, or were
thought of, in the settlement of some
local differences some of his friends of
tlie Central had been persunded to go
to the help of the Southern Pacific,
which then had but fifty miles of
road in operation, and that finding
they were compelled to build under
tlie' law fifty miles a year at the
Colorado end of the line, and twenty
miles a year at the western end, he
said lie repeatedly offered to dispose
of his entire interest in it, and in 1873
did sell a controlling portion in tlie
whole line between tlie Colorado and
San Francisco to Col. Scott himself,
but he never fulfilled his contract,
Since then a good deal more road has
been built, but he was now willing
to dispose of it to the United States
or to Col. Scott, if lie could bo satis-
fled that it would be used as a part of
a direct line to the Gulf and lower
Mississippi cities. He claimed
that instead of building from
Marshall, Texas, westward
the main line not less than 100 miles
a year, as the law required, Scott had
got a devil tisli of a road in the north
eastern corner of that State strag
gling about on three sides of a squar
to pick up some good lauds, and that
if the same energy, time and menus
employed to get up conventions, pe
titions and resolutions and in besieg
ing Congress for a subsidy had been
devoted to building the railroad he
might have hud his track across Tex
as and would have commanded tlie
confidence of capitalists to have gone
on to a connection with tlie Southern
Pacific, as his company had pledged
itself to do. Mr. Huntington then
said his friend could build the line
between tlie Colorado and Rio
Grande (1(H) miles as cheaply as Col
Scott, and would guarantee to obtain
more money value into tlie road from
their own mortgage bonds than Col
Scott’s party would out of their
bonds endorsed by the Government
and to build the road within live or
six years. He would not make this
offer if lie luul not first satisfied him
self that lie would be met at or near
tlie Rio Grande by the Texas roads,
which are now deterred from action
by the fear that Congress might aftei
all grant the national credit to injure
their property. He also offered to
amend tlie bill now in tlie hands of
the committee, so as to allow tlie
same supervision and restrictions as
to constructions and rates by Con
gress over tlie Southern Pacific be
tween its eastern terminus on tlie
Texas frontier and the several parts
in Southern California as are con
tained in tlie Texas Pacific bill, so as
to place the two offices on an equality
except that the former asks for no
financial aid, while the latter asks en
dowments at the rate of $25,000 pe
mile. He claimed that the Southed
Pacific route across California be
tween Yuma and Los Angelos ports
was not only the best as to grades but
also more directly in the lineofth rough
travel and traffic and could be made
to answer equally to San Diego ns a
branch line. He was now within 00
miles of that harbor. He then refer
red to the allegations of excessive
cost of the 74 miles of Southern Pa
cific road In California, claiming
that the grading of _ 135
miles of the line north of San Fran-
cieeo had cost more than the entire
444 miles of Texas Pacific road, for
which tlie Texas Construction Com
pany hnd a contract to receive $75,-
000 a mile in bonds and stock, or $■>
for each dollar put into tlie road in
cash. He challenged the comparison
of the cost of tlie work on tlie South
ern Pacific with it, or some of Col.
Scott’s other roads, mentioning tlie
Baltimore and Potomac at $10,000 per
mile, tlie Northern Central at $144,-
(HK) a mile, the Alleghany Valley at
$125,000 per mile, and tlie Pennsylva
nia Central at $4oO,iHtn per
mile of main line or $300,(HH)
per mile for the main line and
brauehes, or he would lie willing to
compare any financial arrangements
with that of Col. Scott, in paying
$3,000,000 annual lease money for a
ninety mile road, and dependencies
between Philadelphia and New
iork, which at six -percent, repre
sents a capital value of $50,000,000 for
i monopoly, when a competing line
■ould have been carried through
tor $100,0(H) per mile. Mr. Hunt
ington then said of all men
witli whom to entrust competition
for the benefit of tlie people Thos. O.
Scott was the last, tlie same man who
alternates his trips to Washington to
iromise competing railroads out of
he treasury, with trips to New York
to patch up treaties to prevent com
petition with his roads, where there
are more people and more tonag
passed in one day than crossed the
ontinent in twelve months; the
same man who for months resisted
the eflbrts of a competing company to
ross ids tracks at Hopewell, in New
Jersey, and who had torn up repeat-
edly-the track of a road west of Pitts
burg, and who compelled an oil pipe
lino to break its line in crossing his
road and cart the oil over it,
and who was tills day oppos
ing the free oil pipe bill lit Harris
burg. He was an amazing champion
for railroad competition. His whole
life had been one long effort at com
binations, rings and pools, and how
ever united to completion, except
when it was good for Scott, when
ever lie could do better by combining,
the people might take their chances.
He further stated lie had reason to
believe that both Memphis and Vicks
burg had been promised by Scott the
eastern terminus of the Texas Pacific
road, but he was satisfied both places
would be disappointed in tlie result
if that bill became a law. The South
ern Pacific wanted tlie shortest
road to tlie cotton ports, so as
to be able to carry tlie crude
silver ores of California and Arizona
to the ships whence they would be
taken at low frieglits to Europe, In
answer to eertain statements made on
the other side as to tlie connection of
the Central Pacific with the South
Pucitlc and tlie charge that tlie tlont-
ig debt reported to tlie State Com
missioners, lie read from tlie same
report to show that there was no re
ductions to be made from tlie figures
given of more than $10,000,000 repre
sented by cash bills anil accounts re
ceivable'materials not in shops and
investments, not of a personal charac
ter. He then read telegrams from
the treasurer of the Central Pacific
Company stating that the net float
ing debt after deducting
the cash on hand January 1st, 1878,
was $1,184,000; also a telegram from
tile treasurer of the South Pacific
Company showing a balance of tlie
floating ilebt of $1,250,000 which was
mainly due to contractors, and that
the company had rails and ties suffici
ent to lay tlie track to Morieoho.
Wells on bond, and on tlie way, und
would be prepared to put 50,000 men
at work at once if Congress gave the
signal to do so.
Tlie argument will be continued
and concluded to-morrow when tlie
extenison of time of the Northern
Pacific land grant will come up.

HOB IXOKHMOI.I..
MOKE OF
Thr Urnl 1 nfldyl'. Notion, of tb« First
Non ..d Woman.
Extract from Inyerioll's Albany Letter.]
Woman lias always been tlie slave
of a slave. Many account for all tlie
devilment in the world by ascribing
it to woman. For my jiart I would
rather live in tills world with the
woman I love than to live in Heaven
with nothing hut men. Tlie old
theologians, the fathers of the church,
who looked upon women as a perpetu
al evil, told us a story and accounted
for all the evil in the world by the
sin of tlie flint woman. The story
as told in tlie book was that tile Su
preme Being made the earth and one
man out of nothing, and according
to the account he did not Intend to
make woman, at least he did not
think of it till he hud finished milk
ing man, and he was lonesome.
This man wunilered about the Garden
of Eden like as he was waiting for a
train, and thereupon it occurred to
tlie Supreme Beingto make him some
company. All the other material
having been used up, he was obliged
to take part of tlie man, and took I
believe, what tlie French call a cut
let out of him. Of this scrap tlie
woman was made, and considering
tlie raw material on hand to work
with, I look upon it ns tlie most won
derful piece of work in creation. Af
ter the woman was done, she was
brought to the man not to see how
she liked him, hut to see how he
liked her. Then they went to house
keeping. They ate tlie forbidden
fruit, and I never found fault with
them for eating it, I would have
done the same tiling. Then they
were driven out of tlie garden, und
all the trouble commenced—whoop
ing cough, measles, poison in tlie
teeth of serpents. Every trouble then
began, including the jKilities of to
day, including tlie Southern policy,
if thut policy hud been successfully
inaugurated then, 1 don’t see why
Adam and Eve, und tlie devil too,
ould not have lived in hurmony in
the Garden of Eden.
I read in another book another ac
count of the same transaction. Tlie
Supreme Brahma made man and wo
man, and placed them on tlie Island
of Ceylon. There was a little strip of
land uniting the islunil witli tile
mainland, and they were told that
they could go where they pleased, but
must not leave the island. Then the
Supreme Brahma said it was very
desirable tliut they should have a
courtship, and what a courtship
that was. No prospective father-in-
law, or mother-in-law, no neigh
bors They fell in love with
each other, for. said the Brahma,
it is my desire that they should love
before marriage. When 1 read this I
said if one of these stories turns out to
lie true, I will prefer this one.
But the limn became restless. He re
collected the words of H oraco Gree
ley about going West, and went to
tlie west of tlie island were lie saw a
and she looks after it shrewdly, too.
"Mine fader he wants me to send
my money to him in Germany,” said
she, "but I won’t do it. I don’t like
to do did.’’
Klie carries about her a little instru
ment called a pedometer, which reg
isters every mile she walks. It is
kept going by (lie motion of her body
in walking. When we saw her, she
wore a sort ol flowered polo
naise, reaching down a little
below tlie knee, with a
light felt liat of the "pork pie” shape,
upon her head. She is more muscu
lar than plump, ami her movements
are energetic as well as graceful. As
she races around the track she looks
like a lisli darting through tlie water.
She is as straight as an arrow and her
shoulders are very liroad and square
for a woman's. Her walking is not
in tlie least like Unit of ordinary per
sons. It is like that of an Indian
on a long journey. She seems to pro
pel herscii'along with her arms and
shoulders almost as much as witli her
feet. Tlie peculiar swing of her el
bows and shoulders reminds one con
tinually of tlie motion of u bird's
wings.' Her toes do not turn out, as
civilized people's are supposed to.
They go straight ahead, mid the left
foot, perhaps, points slightly inward.
She always turns upon her left side
as slie rounds tlie curves of her track,
and this constant turning to tlie left
lias made a slight difference in her
sides.
She is very popular with ladies
everywhere, but dislikes exceedingly
to have them kiss her. We noticed a
lady bidding her good-bye, and oh-

AUSTRIAN NOTK.
London, January 81.—The Vienna
correspondent of the Times, referring
to reports about the Austrian note
to Kussia, says at the beginning
of the war the Government in
formed Russia that to continue,
even if the professedly temporary
establishment of her power in
Bulgaria would not be viewed with
indifference, and there can he no
doubt that the occupation of this
province after peace is proclaimed,
either with tlie ostensible view of
consolidating the new organization
or as pledge for the nayment of the
war indemnity, would meet with tlie
earnest opposition of Austria.

AX ABTIMT IX II 'AIKIXO.
Tlie l*eciillarltle« of Kerthu V»u IIII-
From the Cincinnati Commercial.]
Washington, Jan. 23.—We saw
this little woman finish her walk of
eighty-nine miles in twenty-six
hours, without sleep. She walked
the first heat from 8 o’clock at night
till about 5 next morning, without
stopping. Then with a few minutes’
rest, twice, she continued the walk
ami finished the walk nine minutes
before the specified time, 10 o’clock.
She is making money, too. There is
no doubt of that. She will not wulk
fora wager or in competition. She
receives challenges to walk matches
every week, hut* will accept none.
She seems to arouse in woman a sort
of infatuation to go on the tramp,
wherever she travels. A club of
ladies has already been started
hero in Washington for walking ex
peditions. Ladies, wherever Bertha
goes, begin to straighten themselves
up, and to feel the muscles of the
calves of their legs.
When not on the truck. Bertha von
Millern lives and eats ami dresses like
other people, with a few exceptions.
She sets her face like iron uguinst al
coholic stimulants, sweet things, ami
pastry. She will not even let her
agent rub whiskey inside her shoes
to keep her feet from swelling, for
fear people will smell the whiskey
and think she is a tiphler. Rare* beef
vegetables, oatmeal, and plain, solid
food, form the “chief of her diet,”
like? that of the little old man who
would never he quiet. After finish
ing one of her public walks she goes
to bed and drops asleep at once. To
ward morning, about 3 or 4 o’clock,
her maid awakens her, and walkHher
about lier room a little time, to keep
her limbs from becoming st if I*. After
one of her severe walks she suffers
somewhat from what are technically
called “walking-crumps,” which are
pains around the knee joints. To al
leviate this her legs are rubbed with
sail and water.
Physically there is nothing abnor
mal or startling about her. She
weighs one hundred and ten pounds,
is rather below medium height, ami
lias the face which, after all, is the
best for steady wear In this world—a
face which would not he noticed for
being cither handsome or homely.
Her hair is very heavy, and of the
fashionable blonde ’ gold color. She
would like to wear it cut short, hut
out of regard to peonle’s prejudices,
wears it long. Furthermore, it may
interest some dress reformers to know
that she wears an ordinary corset dur

The Hartford Evening Post takes
the trouble to record 1\ T. Barn urn’s
views on future punishment ns they
were elicited at a revival meetingeon-
duuected by All*. Moody and hiscoi-
leag. We give the essential portions
of this interview:
Mr. San key asked a young lady
sitting next to Mr, Barnum whether
she thought her works would save
her. She replied she thought good
works would count some toward her
salvation.
Sankey—There is where you are
mistaken. If your works were piled
as high as this church they would be
of no service to you. Here is my
Bible! Just show me, if you can,
where works are ever counted as any
avail.
“Every man shall he rewarded, ac
cording to his works,” said Mr. Bar-
nuni.
Sankey—“He that believeth not is
condemned already.”
Burnum—“And this is tlie condem
nation, tliut light hath entered into
the world and men choose darkness
rather than light.”
Sankey—Do you believe all sinners
will be saved?
Burnum—Dare you pray that any
shall be damned?
Sankey—-I pray that all may repent
ami he saved.
Burnum—Do tlie angels rejoice
over tlie salvation of that very last
lost sheep that you sing so sweetly
about in “Ninety and Nine?”
Sankey—Of course they do.
Barnum—Well, if you and the
angels and all good people pray for
tiie ultimate repentance and salva
tion from sin of all sinners will not
their prayers he answered? Do you
not “pray in faith” without “doubt
ing,” as you are commanded?
Here another gentleman asked Mr.
Barnum if he did not believe any
body would go to hell.
Barnum—Not to a hell of endless
torments, sir—for no such hell ever
existed. St. Paul in all his epistles
and preaching never used the word
“heir’ in ids life, so far as the
New Testament testifies, and yet St.
Paul said lie had “not failed to de-
clare the* whole counsel of God,” and
that “he luul kept hark nothing
tliut was profitable” to men. Then*
will be no childless mothers in the
paradise of God. Death and hell are
to Ik* finally destroyed; every knee
must bend, and every toungue con
fess. Christ will put all tilings
under his feet and He has promis
ed to draw all unto Him. He will
render ill) all to God, and God will lie
all in all. The way of tlie trans
gressor is hard; and those who persist
in “riotous living” will be brought
to the husks und tlie swine, but the
Good Father whose mercy endurcth
forever and extends over all His
works, will wait with open arms until
that last wandering, bruised and
battered sheep, slowly, trembling
ly wends its way back to the fold
and then tlie poor mother who hud
so long prayed and wept for the re
turn of her wayward son will join
all other reunited families

served at tlie hand-shaking moment
Bertha slightly drew her head hack.
“There,” said the agent, smiling,
“she’s afraid that woman is going to
kiss her. Hhe hates awfully to have
women kiss her.”
I hope nobody will go now and say
Bertha von HiUerii is crazy.
Only one man in America can make
her walking shoes, and he lives in
Chicago. Her fast walking gait is so
different from her ordinary one that,
when she stops to take her brief rests
during the walks, the moment she
stops an attendant lifts her in his
arms and carries her to her room, and
she does not take a step till she is
carried back. She would lose her gait
if she did, ami it would require some
little time to get it back again. The
human mind is a very strange ma
chine. Music and applause help her
along wonderfully in her walks. If
a hand can catch the time of her step,
it increases her speed several seconds
on the mile. The bottoms of her feet
are soft ami tender, like other people’s,
and she is not particularly muscular,
except in the calves <*f her legs. They
areas hard as the hack of a Cincinnati
sugar-cured hum.
The last mile of her walk wu
exciting as a horse race. The whole
audience was excited,and I’m asham
ed to say that I felt interested myself.
Men cheered and applauded, and
oral women cried like babies. It is no
use for anybody to say he wouldn’t
care to see her walk. He would he
interested, and he couldn’t help him
self. E. A.
