Washington, April 9.—The House of Representatives was engaged all day in considering the report of the committee on rules. The committee on commerce and on appropriationsjwere increased to fifteen members and the ways and means committee to thirteen mem bers. The wisdom of this measure is deemed very questionable. One of the (imposed changes was that it should require a vote of three-fourths to suspend the rules and pass an ap propriation bill. This was thought to be aimed at the practice of the committee on commerce in passing the river and harbor bill, anu it was therefore vigorously resisted by Reagan,of Texas. Cox, of New York, made a flippant) speech, and Garfield a sensible one for tiie proposed rule. It seemed to the House that the efffect of the change would be to put obstacles in the way of passing the river and harbor bill. The result of the debate was a victory over the committee on rules and the committee on appropriations, the House voting for a substitute which actually enlarges the powers of the committee on commerce on this and enables them to bring the bill before the House at any time. The House also adopted a provision which enables the chairman of the committee of the whole to recognize the really able men of the House for debate in preference to the block heads who areal ways striving for the floor. One of the interesting features of the debate to-day was a speech by Mr. Randall against changing the rule which says the amendment must be germaue and in the interest of economy. NOMINATIONS.

FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. SENATE, Washington, April 11.—Hereford called up Hoar’s resolution declaring the Democratic programme for the passage of theappropriatioii bills to be unconstitutional ami revolutionary, and made a speech against it;insisted that no sucli action was cotemplated as would justify such a conclusion. At the conclusion of Hereford’s speech the Senate took up the army bill, the provsslonsof which were ex plained by Withers. The bill was considered by sections. When the sixth section, which prohibits tho use of troops at the polls was reached the Senate adjourned until Monday. HOUSE.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Washington', April 11.—Comtnis- sionerRaum has received a letter from Represen tat 1 vo Persons, of Georgia, regarding the small four per cent, bonds issued by that State.

Third, Would not State, private, and national banks stand on tho same footing ns to receiving or pay ing out such bonds? After u brief reference to tho bonds in question, the Commissioner re plies that lie does not regard them as “money” within the meaning and intent of that word, ns used in that portion of the revised statutes im posing a tax upon bank deposits, and after further consideration, lie con cludes as follows: In reply to your inquiries, there fore, I have to say that there is no ruling of this bureau, nor In my opinion is there any internal revenue law, which requires a tax from any bank or banker for paying out bonds of the State of Georgia iu satisfaction of checks drawn upon such banks, nor is there any internal revenue law which imposes a tax upon any bank or banker for receiving or pay ing out such bonds in lieu of cur rency. State banks, private banks and national banks stand upon the same footing under internal revenue laws as to receiving and faying out such bonds.

London, April 11.—A special to the Standard from Rome says: Many Republican leaders are expec ted to arrive here shortly to meet at Garibaldi's house. The message states that at a meeting of the Demo cratic leaders at Menatti, Garibaldi’s residence a movement in favor of universal suffrage was discussed. the pope’s letter. Tho Times' correspondent says tho Pope’s letter concerning the educa tion question lias groat importance apart from tbe subject of which it treats, as it directly confirms the im pression whioh some newspapers have combated, that the Pope under stands the liberty and dignity of the Papacy to consist in removing from Rome all means of practicing and propagating whatever the Church holds to be heretical, and that bis gradually increasing Insistence on the restoration of temporal power is prompted by nn equally increasing conviction that until the Pontiff re gains his earthly sway it will lie im possible to prohibit the liberty of worship and instruction. Thus he declares in this holy city the religion of Christ ought to reign sovereign, and the universal teacher of faith ought to have full power to close all access against Impiety, and to main tain the purity of Catholic teaching. ENGLAND. Effect or Strike.

An amendment was agreed to directing the Commissioner of Agri culture to supply a reasonable quan tity of seeds and shrubs to tbe Con gressmen for distribution among their agricultural constituents. Amend ments were also adopted increasing the appropriation for the purchase of seeds. VIRGINIA. United Mate. Court, and tke Negro... Richmond, Va., April 11.—There is good authority for stating that the recent action of United States Judge Rives in indieting the county judges in his Western District for not having mixed juries in their courts will be followed by a similar movement in this, the Eastern District, and that the United States District Attorney will probnbly to-morrow present the names of u number of county judges for indictment. The oases of the United States against a number of prominent Vir ginians, known as the gold cases, have been set for trial in the United States Court to-morrow.

Business at the stoek, produce and cotton exchanges was entirely sus- [pended not Subject to Ihe Ten Per rent. Tax. Sjiccial to Constitution.) Washington? April 10.—I have just had an interview with Mr. Green B Itaum, the commissioner of internal revenue, with respect to tbe questions that have arisen in regard to the Georgia four per cent, bonds. Commissioner Itaum informs me that he will decide that tbe bonds are not subject to tbe tax of ten per cent, upon currency. He will hold that the four per cents, are precisely what they purport to be and what Georgia issued them for—namely, bonds. I have been informed by several treas ury officials that they can see no ob jection to these new securities and no ground for any opinion that they are bills of credit. Universal surprise is expressed here at the fact that Geor gia is able to lloat a four per cent, bond. The Constitution has this: One of Georgia’s baby bonds lias wandered off to Charlotte, N. C., and another is shown as a curiosity in Galveston, Texas. The astonishment of tbe Treasury officials in Washington that Georgia is able to lloat a four per cent, bond is ill-timed und injudicious. No per son who does not know what a great corn- State Georgia is under Democratic rule ought to be allowed to hold a cs, us Governor of Eastern Houma- nia. The I’orte to agree to the pro longation of the authority to the In ternational Commission for 0110 year, and to abstain during Unit period from occupying points it lias a right to garrison. The Agcner Russr adds that tliis arrangement might meet with approval if an absolute agree ment existed between tbe powers, and their language at Constantino ple, Tirnova and Sophia was equally impartial and equally firm. • Tiirk(\v. Sjtccial to Enquirer-Sun.) Constantinople, April 11.—The Sultan yielding to the urgent repre sentations of the Grand Vizier lias recalled several exiled parsonages, and ordered tbe release of others from prison. position in the Federal Treasury. Mr. Green B. Raum, tbe able com missioner of internal revenue, seems to be a very efficient officer. Inspect ing one of our baby bonds through bis eye glasses, be discovered at once that it was merely a bond and not subject to the ten per cant. tax. Wc trust that Mr. Commissioner Raum will take tbe trouble to explain mat ters to Uncle Johnny Knox, tbe es teemed comptroller of a currency that doesn’t need comptrolling. Tho Nall Trade. Pittsburg, April 0.—At ameetiiig of the Western Nail Association of this city, to-day, tbe following was adopted: "As manufacturers of nails In the territory west of the Alleghany Mountains, we find in comparison of ways that we are compelled to pay from 36) per cent, to 50 percent, more for tho various classes of skilled labor than is paid by our competitors east. As a result of these high prices for labor, we are being driven out of the markets in which wc liave hith erto sold our product. Our trade is being curtailed. Our mills are being stopped or run on short time, and tlie prices we are forced to accept for our product result in absolute loss. We believe it is to tbe interest of all parties, both manufacturers and ope ratives, that tliis condition of affairs should exist no longer. Therefore, in view of these facts, we ask tlieskilletl operatives in our millsand factory to consent to a reduction of wages to tbe prices paid In tlie Eastern mills for similar work."

The Huddersfield Chamber of Commerce lias passed a resolution that in view of tlie commercial policy adopted by Canada being practically prohibitive of the import of British manufactories their chamber memo rialize the House of Commons to ap point a select committee to consider he relations of tho mother country Chinese A flairs. Special to Enquirer-Sun.) San Francisco, April 11.—Tho steamer Belgic, from Hong Kong, March 17, brings Die following new-: The passage of tho anti-Chinese bill and subsequent veto, attracts great attention among the natives. Vernacular newspapers of Hong Kong and Sliaiigliai, especially-tlie former, are extremely bitter against the proposed measure, and claim tlie protection guaranteed by tlie treaty, and draw pictures of future relations nnd tlie exclusion of Americans from Chinese soil. They exaggerate tho consequences to America of tlie with drawal of Chinese labor, but speak wltlj moderation, though firmness, of reactionary movemouis by China on her own ground. Great excitement prevails over the discovery of tbe alleged practice by Dutch colonists in the Strait? settlements of kidnapping coolies from Singapore, ami holding them in bondage at.Penbng and neighbor hood. The newly opened Chinese ports, Paklioi and others, fail to meet expectations of commercial specula tors. The foreign trade is impeded or destroyed by the efforts of native merchants. Insurrections continue. As before, there is no material change in 11 ic position of the rebel forces, which arc generally successful. Lord Lytton, Viceroy of India, telegraphs tlie Governor of Hong Kong, that gentleman will reach Hong Kong about tlie middle of April. Special to Enquirer-Sun.

How Ihe Average Californian Manip ulate* (he Nliaroa nnd Heroines a Millionaire. San Francisco Correspondent Boston Bulletin.) There are so many curious turns of Fortune’s wheel on the Comstock. I heard only yesterday of a case where cold-blooded persistency of purpose and tenacity of grit in the face of most discouraging circumstances won a l>ig fortune—anil the case is most remarkable because, knowing tlie parties, meeting them every day, being familiar with their surround ings, etc., 1 never before heard of it. It leaked out only by accident. Mr. Hoot is tbe man who designed all tlie machinery, laid all tlie plans, made all tlie contracts and superin tended tlie work of building Gov. .Stanford's wire-cable street railroad in tills city, which runs a distance of nearly two miloH through tlie richest and best portion of tliiB city, and is to-day tlie model street railroad of the continent. Hoot is a young mail, not over thirty-six, thin, wiry, home ly, and—well, shabby. He is a splen did mechanic, and though fora long time in the Central Pacific employ nobody knew until lie built the .Stan ford street railway, entirely on liis own plans, that there was so much in him. To look at him you wouldn’t think Root ever saw a mining stock certificate. Yet one day when Sierra Nevada was booming along at 200, Hoot walk ed into tlie office of a leading broker, an old friend, and said : "Dau, guess we'd bettor got rid of some of tills now," and ho handed over two certificates, one of 500 shares and tlie other of loo. “Dan” took them, looked them over, and noticed that the bucks of both were perfectly covered with receipts for. assess ments. “Where in tlie world did you get these?" asked Dan. “Bought ’em four years ago," said Root. Had ’em lying in my trunk ever since. Paid, I think, fifty cents a share for some, and six bitsforsome more, and got some for two bits. Been paying assessments ever since, religiously, und the whole lot stands me about $5 a share. I want you to pay half of it now, for I guess it’s time to 'call tlie turn,’ and within three days 300 shares of Root’s stoek found a market at from $-00 to $320, and liis broker passed to his credit over $60,000. The other 300 shares he got rid of at, $225 and $240, and about $70,000 more went to liis credit. He hauled down $50,000, and then, as to tbe rest, said to liis broker (and here is the point I want to make), “1 want you to put ho many thousand in Norcross, so many into California, “o many in ti Curry and so many into Beloher. Pay for them; let them lie; and when assessments come, pay on them." “But,” said the broker, “you may have to wait, and—" "That’s just what I expect to do- wait. But sooner or Inter some one or tlie other of those stocks will make me a fortune. And that Is tbe spirit that ouraver- ge working Californian goes into peculation on tbe Comstock with. Few here buy Comstock stocks for dividends. Let a mine there begin to pay dividends, and unless they are very big, or the mine 1ms a prospect if keeping them up. not a dollar is added to the value of the stock. Our piiet buyers, our business men, our shrewd capitalists, nre all actuated by he same idea. “Buy them when they are cheap, lay them away, and sooner or later, if any mine within a mile makes a strike, we may make 500 per cent. If tlie strike should come in our own mine we limy make from 600 to 10,000 per cent., and, per haps, if we have stock enough, walk off with tbe fortune we expected to liave to work all our lives for.” STOCKS AND BO.V0S.

Chicago Times.) G. A. Jones, general agent of (he Fort Harrison Orange Grove Compa ny, Tampa hay, Florida, is in the city perfecting arrangements for making Chicago the distributing point for Florida oranges in tlie West. Heretofore, oranges from that section liave came around by way of New York. Now they go hv steamer to Cedar Keys and thence by rail direct to this city, reaching here within ten days from tho time of picking. Messrs. Van Fleet & Armstrong, Chicago men, are now building the Tampa, Peascreek and St. John’s railroad, which, when completed, will give an all-rail route direct from these groves to Chicago, short ening the time from picking to de livery here about six days. Several car loads a week are already being received by the general agents here, and when tlie trade is fully devel oped, it promises to become more I important than that in California fruits. The productions of this coun try include several varieties of or anges lemons, etc., and the pink shaddock, a fruit as large as a child’s head; the skin about tlie color of that of a lemon, and the fruit itself a kind of cross between an apple ami an orange. It is used in cooking and making delicious pies, puddings, etc. Tbe smooth orange is best known in this market, but the russet orange, whose skin bears some resemblance to that of the russet apple, will prob ably come into favor when better known, being just as sweet and juicy, while not so liable to decay as the other kinds. These fruits will prob ably usurp the place of the Meuiter ran can for tlie reason that the time required for their delivery is so much loss, whereby they can he allowed to i remain on the trees till they come to perfection. oil : ul Stain Inferior..
