Tko Stork Hxrlumge Opens (Juicier and Ruled Higher us the lluy Advanced. New York, December 16.—There was a marked change in the appearance of the stock market to day from that of yester day, the extraordinary activity disappear ing ai.d a wild desire to sell giving way to at least an appearance of renewed confi dence, which increased as tiie day advanced. One factor in producing this result was increasing ease oi money, high prices be ing looked upon as the result of manipula tion. The advance on the hank of England rate of discount is expected to check, in some measure, the flow of gold to this country. The disposition to sell was manifest, and in the early morning was strong, opening in sympathy with the highest London fig ures, but the improvement was lost, deal ings being very feverish. The slight pres sure to sell, however, aoon gave way to more confidence, in which more substan tial stocks were conspicuous. Vanderbilt coal stocks and Louisville and Nashville soon showed a marked improvement. Later on, when the buying had become general, shorts became alarmed at the sit uation,ami in the last hour heavy covering ran tne day’s total up to large figures, and the best prices of the day were made in the last ten minutes. London bought Lake Shore and Erie as well as Reading. Boston houses were buy ers of Union Pacific. Tbe opening was comparatively quiet but strong; advances over last evening's final figures ranged up to U per cent. Heavy selling, however, i.i the first ten minutes broke Lackawanna 2 per cent, and early gains wen generally lost. Trading continued feverish, though toward noon there was a renewed decline, which was finally checked toward 12:30. The market thereafter gained strength steadily on an increased vol ume of business, the entire active list showing an advance. The last hours saw a marked increase in the business done as well as a more decided upward move ment. The market closed strong at about the hast figures reached. The, total business footed up 590,000 shares, Reading being first followed by Lackawanna, St. Paul, New England, Western Union, Erie and Louisville and Nashville. Business in the remainder of Die list was very well distributed. There is not a single stock in the active list show ing a decline this evening, while Tennes see Coal is lip 5, Chattanooga 3, Consoli dated Southern 2j, and Norfolk aud West ern preferred 2$.

Passed. Mr. Blair offered a resolution instructing the committee on finance to inquire into the propriety of reporting n bill providing a rebate on all imported materials incor porated with domestic materials or con verted into other articles and exported to foreign countries for sale,thereby providing for the extension of foreign trade without, reducing the prices of American labor. Adopted. The calendar was then taken up. Under a single objection to the rule the bill was passed, by a vote of 21 to 17, to permit owners of American vessels and their car goes to sue the government, for losses caused by collision with United States ves sels, arising from their mismanagement. Among other mat, era on the calendar which were laid over under objection was Riddlobergor’s resolution that all matters other than those relating to treaties shall be considered in open session. Mr. Beck, alluding to his remarks yes terday as to he judiciary committee hav ing acted in bad faith, disclaimed any in tention of being offensive and said that if they were so construed he retracted them. Mr. Pugh said that he certainly had con st,rued Mr. Beck’s remarks as personally offensive. His statement now was entirely satisfactory and gratifying and it. relieved him (Pugh) from a necessity which would have been very painful. The bill to repeal the tenure of office not was then taken up and Mr. Edmunds spoke against it. He argued that if the executives of the state governments could not be trusted, aa they were not, with kingly power, it was still more important that the national executive should not be trusted with such power. The philosophi cal analogy of public safety, the preserva tion of liberty against. executive power, and the executive corruption made it more important on a question of policy that the president of the United States should not possess entire jus disprovendi of every official act and of every official person in the United Slates than it was that the executive of a state should not possess it. Tiie tenure of office law was a restraint now, although the presi dent was making a great number of sus pensions. The passage of the pending bill would be an invitation—it would be more than an invitation—it. would be. a recogni tion, an approval of the idea that on pure ly political grounds of opinion the presi dent ought, as his predecessors had done before the tenure of office law in 1807, to remove immediately everybody who did nqt agree with him or with some depart ment officer, or with the party. He thought that that would he a step twenty- five years backwards in the progress of removing the work ing operations of the government from the mere condition of political fortunes and prizes and stakes. He believed line all these offices ought to be held for fixed terras and lie was perfectly willing tha' the president might for every vacancy have a man of his own persuasion, if there was to he a change. A couple of year- hence, as he trusted and hoped and be lieved there would be, all these matters would then be removed from the mere strile and spoil and contention of politics. At this point Edmunds was attacked with a tit of coughing which forced him to resume bis seat. George made a constitutional and his torical argument in favor of the bill. Evarts addressed the senate, stating that he would vole for the bill,and that grounds of constitutionality would not cover his vote, but that the grounds of expediency would if removals Irom office, hesaid,vvere to turn on two concurrent judgments where the president and the senate might be opnosed in politics, it would follow that tiie repugnance of the senate might keep a roan in office whom the president desired to dispense with, and by whose ac tion the president could not accomplish his duty. At the close of Evarts’ speech the senate went into executive session, and when the doors were reopened, adjourned. The House. Washington, December 10 —On mo tion ol Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, the sen ate bill was passed amending sections 4740 and 4747 of Ihe revised statutes. These sections provided for t,lie payment of a pension out of tbe naval pension fund to every person who served as an enlisted person in the navy or marine corps; and the bill is designed to cover the cases of those who actually rendered same service as appointed petty officers, although not actually enlisted. It applies to about 100 men who have acted as yeomen, engineers, apothecaries and masters at arms. On motion of Mr. Wise, of Virginia, the Renate bill passed providing that Admirals Rowan ami Warden may after forty years service be retired from active service on their own application with the highest pay of the grade to which they belong. The house in t‘ie morning hour resumed in committee off ho whole consideration of the senate bill for the allotment of lands in severalty to Indians. A number of amendments recommended by the committee on Indian affairs were adopted and, the committee having arisen, the bill was passed as amended. It pro vides that ill all cases where any tribes of Indians is located upon any reservation created for ils use, either by treaty stipula tion or by virtue of an act of congress or executive order, the secretary of the in terior is authorized whenever in his opin ion un.v reservation of such Indians is ad vantageous for agricultural and grazing purposes, to cause said reservation to be i surveyed or resurveyed, if necessary, and j to allot lands in said reservation | in severalty to the Indians located thereon , or their application in quantities as fol- j lows: To each head of a family one quar ter section; to each single person over j eighteen years of age, one-eiphth section; to each orphan child under eighteen years of age, one-eighth section; to each other person under eighteen years, one-sixteenth section; provided that in case there is not sufficient land in any of said reservations to allot lands to each indiv idual of the class*s above named in quantities as above provided, the lands embraced in such res- j ervation or re -ervaticins shall be alloted to ; each individual of each of said | classes pro rata in accordance ; with the provision of this act. It further prohibits* for a period of twenty-five years, j the conveyance of any such alloted land. < It makes all titles subject to state and territorial law, and prohibits any territory | fr, m passing any 11 w denying to any such Indian within its jurisdiction, the penal protection of tbe law. Rights and privi-j leges of citizenship arc conferred upon j every Indian bt r:i within the territorial i limits of the United states, to J whom allotments have been made, 1 and upon every Indian who lias voluntarily taken up his residence apart from any tribe of Indians, and adopted the habits of civilized life. The provisions of the bill do not extend to the territory oc cupied by the Cherokees,Creeks,Choctaws, Cbickasawa, Bcminoles, Osages, Miamis, Peoria* and Sachs aud Foxes in Indian Territory, nor to any of the reservation of the Seneca nation of Now York, in the state of New York, nor to that strip of territory in the state of Nebraska adjoining the Sioux nation or nations on tin: south; nor docs the bill authorize the abolishment of any reservation until t he consent of a majority of the male members 21 years of ago shall be first obtained. The urgent deficiency bill for public printing, reported yesterday from tiie com mittee on appropriation, was called up and passed. It calls for $&5,0l>). The house then went into committee of the whole on the sundry civil appropriation bill. An amendment was adopted prohibiting the payment of any money appropriated to the United States commissioners, mar shals aud clerks for any warrant issued or urrest, made under the internal revenue laws unless the prosecution has boon ap proved by the United State* district attor ney and collector of internal revenue for the district in which the prosecution oc curs. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the house and the previous question was ordered. Adjourned.

Miles, and removing his head quarters from I’reseott, Arizona, to Los Angelos, California. This will give Gen. Miles command of the whole Mexican frontier from Texas to the Pacific. The territorial extension of 11is limitsE said by General Miles friends to be suffi cient answer to the charge which linn been made that he disobeyed orders in the Apache campaign. Upon being asked whether the extension of the limits of his command might not be regarded us equivalent to promotion, General Milts saldi “The fact sneaks for itself. I do not care to say anything about it.”| lntorcst. on (lie Bonds.

Ohio Shows Partiality to llondholilora. Washington, December 10.— Louis B. Schram, as attorney, and Judge Arnoux, as counsel, have to-Gay served a complaint, in the supreme court on behalf of YVorm- ser & McConihe ugainst the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company and the Central Trust Company of New York. The action is brought for the purpose of restraining tiie Midway company from applying its revenues to the detriment of the holders of bonds of series “B” of the company. The facts upon which the action is based are substantially as follows: In July, 187b, th, Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company is sued its trust deed to secure seventeen millions of bonds. Two millions was call ed series “A,” and fifteen millions of the bonds was series “It.” These two series of bonds were by the terms of the trust deed to he upon an equality as lien and payment of tiie interest on the principal, except that for the first five yeurs the in tercut on “ B” bonus was payable partly it- script. The complaint charges that the railway company wrongfully discriminates against “ B” bonds by paying their interest only partly in cash while “ A” interest was being paid in full. It is further claimed that the officers of the road invited the “B” bondholders to scale their interest from 0 to 4 per cent., and that 4 per cent, per annum was being paid to the consent ing bondholders, while those who did not consent received only a fraction of their interest in cash. The plaintiffs further say that the railroad company is annually paying large am >unts in the shape of interest on tne Newport News extension bonds out of the earnings that should be applied to the interest on “B” bonds to the prejudice of the “B” bondholders. The claim is put forward that if the affairs of tbe road were properly conducted and the income distributed ns provided, the incumbrinous “B” bond holders would receive their interest in full. The complaint seeks an injunction to pre vent the abases complained of, and a pre liminary restraining order will shortly be applied for. Besides this suit, an action at law on the un paid coupons has been begun against the company at Troy, New York, but Hie attorneys in that case are not con nected with the new nctioii on the part of the “B” bondholders. In tbe latter ease the Central Trust company is only party pro forma for the reaso-i that they are the trustees named in the mortgage on which the bonds were issum. A Kliluaiici! Huy ltecoriired. Reading, Penn., December 15.—Wm. A.

This throat if carried out will test the question of rights of tenants to permit their entrusted rents to be expended in fighting landlords or government in prosecution* for participa tion in the plan of the campaign. The United Ireland says that John Dil lon’s line of conduct will not.be changed liy the government’s sentence ordering him to furnish bond, with two sureties, for his good behavior in future. Nohody, says the United Ireland, cares a rush for Judge O’Brien’s pious opinion concerning the legality of the plan of the campaign. John Dillon, member of parliament for East Mayo, William O’Brien, editor of United Ireland, Matthew Hnlns, member ot parliament for East Galwuy, nud David Sheopy, member of parliament for South Galway, were arrested to-day in ths town of Loiigbrea, county Gal way, charged with conspiracy to defraud. The prisoners have been acting as trustees in conducting the “plan of campaign,” and have been re ceiving from dissatisfied tenants the re duced rents refused by landlords or land lord agents. At the time of making tiie arrests the police took away from Dillon fist) which lie had just received in trust from tenants. The four gentlemen were taken before a magistrate and remanded for a week. “DID THEY HURT JOITN DILLON 7” An Immense nationalist demonstration was hold at Lnnghera to-day. Father Cun ningham presided, and a number of other clergymen and Dillon, O’Brien, Harris and Slicey were on tho platform. A large con tingent of Lord Clauerienrde’s tenants were present. Dillon and O’Brien addressed the meeting and then opened nationalist toni. offices. Hundreds of tenants came forward and paid their rents. Suddenly the police raided the offices Inspector Davis seized the money, documents and books and arrested Dillon. It is alleged that Dillon was rough ly treated by the inspector. The police proceeded up stairs amt took possession of more money ami documents. They then arrested O’Brien, and afterwards Harris and Bheehy. The speei.i.i c-i irgs against the four gentlemen is that they wore con spiring to induce tenants not to pay their lawful rents. —-— K asm ini- THEY TUflAG~.EE. London, England, December 10, 1883. The Daily News says Lord Salisbury has carried u majority of l h.. cabinet with him in adopting Goshen’s views of the local government bill as opposed to those of Lord Randolph Churchill backed byChum- berliiin, who wanted the original measure drafted by Sir Charles Dllku and elaborated by Chamberlain. The bill will therefore not lie bused upon the elective principle, and will probably create dissension among the unionists. A Lucky Trio.

Pushing his way through the crowd of shrieking pas sengers at tho steamer’s stern he cut the yawl loose from its fastenings and lifter a desperate struggle lowered it to the water. Four negroes jumped into I he boat unrl cut Lbe painter, but the sailor forced them back, aud taking twenty hu man beings into the yawl Landed them safely on the shore.
