oflice holders or employes for election
purposes,and under what circumstan
ces and by what means, and if so,
what amount was so raised and how
the same Was expended; and, further,
whether such assessments were or not

nKPtniI.ICA.lt CAUUUS.
The Republican members of the
Senate in caucus this morning adop
ted the report presented by the com
mittee appointed to arrange the order
of business for the remainder of tlie
session, it was agreed that the post-
office appropriation bill shall be tak
en up as soon as the pending meas
ure in regard t'o Chinese immigra
tion is disposed of, and that preference
he given to the other regular appro
priation bills, including the river and
harbor bill, over all other business.
Thereafter the following measures are
to Ijo given for consideration, not to
interfere with appropriation bills,
when raedy in order named : the prt-
posed constitutional amendment on
the subject of war claims; bill for
further distribution of the Geneva
award ; Mr. Windom’s proposition
authorizing the enquiry and report to

DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
The Democratic Senators also held
a caucus this A. M. 'Hie suldects of
discussion were the same that oc
cupied the attention of the joint cau
cus Monday night. Diametrically
opposite views were expressed as to
the advisability in party point of
view In endeavoring to repeal the
Federal election law, etc., by means
of an amendment to the appropria
tion bill, and thus probably forcing
an extra session of Congress. Af:er
ail earnest discussion, in which Sen
ators Tluij limn and Bilyurd were the
principal speakers on opposite sides,
the caucus adjourned without action,
tq meet again to-morro\y morning.
|*AILRl|AI> TKLEURAUJt QUESTION.
The Senatemnrrrttttec on railroads
met to-day to hear arguments with
respect to Senator Jones’ bill author
izing railroad companies to construct
and maintain telegraph lines for com
mercial purposes. President Norvin
Green, of the Western Union Tele
graph Company, made a speech op
posing the bill on the ground that it
would not attain the object desired ;
that the railroad companies already
shared in the profits of the business
done over lines built along their
roads, mid that the telegraph busi
ness of tiie country was now done by
the Western Union Company more
cheaply than by any other company
in the world.
The chairman asked Mr. Green for
information with regard to the rela
tions between tiie Western Union
Company and tiie Associated Press.
q.‘|ie latter replied that there was
nothing in these relations to conceal;
-that the Western Union Company
had announced repeatedly that it
would transmit dispatches of any
other similar association for a like
price without favor of any kind. Tiie
Associated Press is a private organi
zation for the collection and distrihi -
tlon of news, and the news so gath
ered is as much its property as a pri
vate telegram or letter. It does not
monopolize llte news or prevent
other asssocialions from getting
It who are willing to go to the
necessary expense for its col
lection. ‘ If outside papers want a
special report, let them gep up a com
bination, collect the news and we
will send it at the same rates us
charged tiie Associated Press for an
equal unibimt of service. We cannot
afford, however, to supply anybody
at a tenth or fiftieth part of tlip price
paid by our best customers. A t the
conclusion of Mr. Green’s remarks
the committee adjourned until to
morrow,

CIVIL SERVICE RUSH.

ter to Gen. Merritt:

My J)rar Onterah I congratulate
you on your confirmation, it is a
great gratification to me, very honor
able to you, and will prove I believe
of signal service to Hie country. My
desire is that the office he conducted
on strictly business principles and
according to the rules for the civil
service, which were recommended
by the civil service commission 111
the administration of Gen. Grant. 1
want you to lie perfectly independent
of mere influences from any quarter.
Neither my recommendation,
nor that of Secretary Sherman, or
of any member of Congress
or other influential person must he
specially regarded. ’ Get appoint
ments and removals be made oil bus
iness principles and according to
rules. There must, I assume, he a
few confidential places filled by those
you personally know to he’ trust
worthy, but restrict tiie area of pa
tronage to the narrowest limits. Get
no man lie put out merely because he
is a friend of Mr. Arthur, and no
mail put in merely because lie is our
friend. The good of the service should
lie the sole end in view. Tiie best
means yet presented, it seems to me,
are the rules recommended by the
civil service commission. 1'shall
issue no new order on the subject at
present. 1 am glad you approve of
the message, abd I wish you to see
that all that is expressed or implied
in it is faithfully carried out.
Again congratulating you and as
suring you of my entire confidence,
1 remain sincerely,
It. B. Hayes.

Ni:\v Yohk, February 13.—A spe

the chief otlleer Foot, and Charles
Cosman, seaman, who seem to he tiie
only survivors of tiie American
Schooner Kstelle, of Portland, Maine,
hound from Yarmouth, for the island
of Antigua, West Indies, with a gen
eral cargo, were landed here to-day.
They commenced their voyage on the
2Nth of December. After leaving
port they experienced torrillc weather,
the wind being very high and lay to
for three days, waiting for the fury of
the storm to subside. On January 5th,
during tiie early morning, a heavy
sea capsized tiie vessel. Of the crew
of five men, Cosman only was on
deck, the other four being below.
Captain Horsey and Chief Officer
Foot and the cook came on dock ns

succeeded iu getting on the side of
tin* vessel, the cook fell off exhausted
after three hours. The captain suc
cumbed to tlie exposure ami fatigue
after holding on until after H o’clock
in the morning. The vessel dually,

and Cosman managed with git\'U
dlllleulty to make their way once
more to tiie vessel’s deck. They
laid planks on the windlass and
water barrel, which served as tiieir
bed aud u resting pLr.ee for fifteen
days. Neither of them slept for the
lirst three days, exix'dlnn cwry nu>-
ment that the vessel would sink be
neath them. On the fourth day a
barrel of apples Moated from the fore-
hold, which they succeeded in cap
turing. The apples were saturated
with sail, and caused tin*poor fellows
the most intense thirst. They also
obtained a box of salt mackerel,
which they greedily devoured. One
day before they were rescued a barrel
of Hour Moated out from the hold.
They made dough of a portion of its
contents, hut a heavy- sea springing
up, a wave washed it away.

wind was piercingly cold, and the

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the hack part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet arc cold or burning, and lie coin-
plains of a prickly sensation of llie,
skin; his spirits arc low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would i>
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely.
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, lie distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, arc productive m
tlic most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory t .
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
diseasft to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they ait.* un
equaled.
