made a raid and burnt Catewayo’s old

however, do not give the impression that
he is in a position to nndertaker'an offen
sive operation, and Etate that the Zalns

a sincere return to the Constitution of

London, March 24.—A detailed report
or the meeting of weavers at Blackbnrn

but the masters were also lee* -unions
than they were before th9'»o-ihqr and

tion on the understanding that the whole
of the fifteen per cent, reduction ehtll be
restored as eocn os possible.
An amendment ia favor of resistance
by a strike, if necessity, met with mdch
support.
A dieorderly scene followed. The
proposition for a strike was repeatedly
cheered and the opponents theieof hooted
down. It seemed as though the majority
were about to decido in favor of a strike,
when a motion for adjournment was pro
posed, so that the feelings of masters in
dividually might be farther tested.
The advocates of the strike refused to
withdraw the proposals and the motion
for adjournment who not carried until

peals to the meeting to be calm and not
rashly plnnge into another struggle.

Washington, March 24.—Mr. SauIs-
bnry’s resolution calling upon the Secre
tary of the Treasury for information
concerning negotiations of United States
securities, the amount of interest paid,
etc, was passed. •
A motion was then made to proceed to
the election of the officers of the Senate.
An animated debate here -sprung up.
Mr. Autnony said that nothing he could
do would prevent the foregone conclasion
of the majority to make a sweeping
change of officers; not -because it was
demanded by duty, but because partisan
ship demanded it. As one who held in;
respect, if not reverence, the precedents'
and nssges of the Senate, he desired to
enter his protest against the personal in
convenience to which they wonld all be
subjected to and tbo disturbance ot the
order of the business of the Senate which
wonld occur by an abrupt change in the
officers. He mentioned the names of
several officers of the Senate, who had
never been disturbed in their official re
lations to that body.
Mr. Hamlin followed Mr. Anthony,
saying he hoped that party spirit would
not run riot in the Senate.
Mr. Wallace replied . that there
was no intention to interfere with
business or break down tho life of the
Senate. A majority only desired that
tne offices held so many years by the Re
publicans should be filled by gentlemen
politically in accord with the majority
of tbo Senate. They had gentlemen
abundantly qualified to fill them.
Mr. Conkhnguttered his regrets at the
faot that the officers of tbs Senate were
to be displaced.
Mr. Bayard was impressed with the
speech of Senator Anthony, as it con
tained matters of historic interest. He
regarded as dangerous and degrading the
rewarding of partisans with government
places. It bad entered the civil service
of the country, ond nnV-oa it shonld be
ir a gri&t dej,.-* A *i<i . ri d t wonld in
crease to the dtiMiu ii . ood govern
ment. The bet-- - ,i «>t tli •« sbpuld be
in consideration hi *r. fare* of the
country, thedii: -> t «t <*•? government
and the parity u. uui ii.muilon*.' 'The
power of appointment of officers in this
body bad fallen to his part.' He did not
understand that it contemplated any such
slaughter of innooents as was announced
by the other side. Observation had
shown that, instead of. Federal offices
being bestowed for tbo good of tbo coan-
try upon capable and honest incumbent?,
they bad been uroi fur m.ny jca:s for
the benefit of a si- 0 .o party. Those here
who now oomplaio, never negleq'ed to
fill the offices with their party friends.
ThedeDate was farther participated ia by
Senators Beck, Blaine, Hill and other?,
and at a late hour tbe Senate proceeded
to vote, and elected the offioers recently
nominated by tbe Democratic oanens.
Mr. Blaine said tbe Potter CommitteS
was organized in the hope of finding
some evidence on which to. base. a pro
ceeding to oust the President, and only
because of its failure to find such facte
was the design abandoned.
Mr. Wallace pointed to the resolution
adopted.by tbe Democratic Convention
in Pennsylvania a few days after the is
suance of the circular in queBtion, that
any attack on the title of tbe President
was unwise and impolitic, and said that
while come agitation undoubtedly existed
among the Democrats at that time, no
authorized utterance conld be found jus
tifying the Imputation of revolutionary
designs.
Mr. Yoorhoea justified the proposed
change in officers on the ground that the
employes of the Senate ought, to be in
sympathy with the majority of the body,
who were responsible to the oouatry for
the management of its affair?.
Mr. Beck said ho wonld not vote 36,000
a year into the pocket of the Secretary
of the Republican National Committee,
to be nsed in furthering his own personal
and party political ends.
Mr. Bayard thought that merely min
iaterial officers should abstain from the
exercise of partisan influence, and not
seek to emulate the political power of
elective officers directly responsible to
the people for the carrying out of the
views of their constituencies.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, replying to Mr.
Blaine's charge of bad faith on the part
of the Democrats in not accepting as
final the decision of the Electoral Com
mission, said therowasan issue of fact
raised here between Senators who had
spoken,-and a very material one, affecting
aot alone the Democratic party, but the
character of onr institutions. It was im
portant that the real truth should be
stated upon this question. The charge
of revolutionary purpose mad«f against
the Democracy by the eircular which had
be«n read was denounced by the Senator
from Connecticut (Eaton) as false,
whereupon i the Senator from Maine
(Blaine) came to the rescue of tho docu
ment, and charges that there was each
revolutionary intent, and,.to sustain his
general charge*, he specifies the .Potter
resolution as having tfcatrultorior mean
ing. Mr. Hill claimed that the . enator
from Maine was rs incorrect in his state
ment as was the Secretary of the Senate
in hia, and teat he coald produce no fact
to bear out hia dbarge. - No portion of
the Democratic party ever intended, un
der any contingency," a revolutionary
movement, for th' espuhion of the Presi
de: t. When the Electoral Commission
bill waa uos-.ed it contained
■>r-r
jprevision as foll*w»> . f/fieetion 6,
.That nothing in this aqt ai^l teyheld to
Impair or affect any right now qjtisTiDg
Tftder the Constitution filtlUWfB

of the United States the right

ishall claim'to. be' pr?Kqent oi
:pre?tcfent*without an* examination of the
tevtvtOny regArdiag - Hie. merits of the
case. It was adopted* thab tjhe doors
should be left opes in such a case to a
proper judicial investigation, * which
should bring cut the facte. c ' That
there was ground for . the belief
that the oonrte of the country
would have jurisdiction is manifest from
this faot that the loathed gentlemen and
distinguished statesman on both '.sides
if bath chambers incorporated a provis
ion in the Electoral Commission bill ro-
serving all right To reopen this question
and bars it investigated before the judi
cial tribunals of the* country. Some of
the most able' lawyers: believe that by
proper proceedings the Supreme Coart
can get jnrhdiction to investigate this
question. It was on that principle
that the Legislature of Maryland passed
a memorial to Congress demanding that
proceedings of this nature should be in-
angnrated. Some of the most distin
guished Republican lawyers of the coun
try hold thatit would be perfectly proper,
in a competent-proceeding,'.for the- Su
preme Court to. reopen and determine this
case upon its merits. Every gentleman of
hie (Mr. Hill’p) acquaintance, every prom-,
inent Democrat or the United States, who
desires to investigate this question at all,
desires to do so in tbe courts, and under
the encouragement and authority of tbe.
election law. Was this revolntionary ?
As io whether that prooeeding before tbe
oonrt shonld be inaugurated or not, more
wonld depend on tbe reliable evidenoe
that shonld bo obtained ,n tbe case.
Therefore all sections of ths Democratic
party desired to bare an investigation
to obtain the real facts. There were Re
publicans as well as Democrats in tho
country who, if the facts should thor
oughly establish the illegality of the
Presidency, and if it should appear that
the Supremo Court have authority to in
vestigate the subject, were in favor of
such investigation. Mr, Hill denied that
the Democratic party had ever announced
a .revolutionary purpose looking to the
expulsion of the President.
He said in conclasion: ‘-The Senator
from New Yook has informed this body
that when he came here these seats occu
pied by Southern Senators were empty.
[ think we have heard this before. He
also informed ns that these s?ats are now
filled by Southern men. I think we
knew that already.' We return to them,
and like a revolution that thus
ends where the departure began.
The retnrn brought peace and prosperity
onoe more. You raise the cry of revolu
tion so that you may have eighteen more
years of power; bn: yoar chances will not
retain. Ye?, those seats are filled by
Southern representative men, and they
will so remain. Tnatis all. Lar, then,
tbo past go. We are opposed to revolu
tionary purposes and revolntionary
schemes. We made nothing by revolu
tion; the Rspnbiioans mads eighteen
years of power by it, and that is ths rea
son they are always talking abont revo
lution.”
After some passages between Messrs.
Blaine and'Hill, Mr. Wallace offered a
resolution declaring John C. Bnroh elec
ted Secretary of the Senate. Mr. Conk-
ling moved to substitute the name of
George C. Gorham. This amendment
waa rejeoted oy a voto of 27 to 38—a
strict party vote. After the election of
the other caucm nominees tho Senate
adjonrned.

made by her that she was cncicnte.
Citt or Mexico (via Havana), March
24.—Congress wMl meet tbe first ot April.
Strong efforts will be made for the
approval of certain concessions to for

concessions for the laying of a cable from
Yucatan to Cuba with a connection at
Key West. The commercial prospect is
improving. Importations at Vera Graz
and Tampico havo augmented consid
erably within the past two weeks. The
discontented factions find it im
possible to raise a revolution, the people
being tired of anarchy. The strife is
at present confined to the fioliticians, who
do their work with the pea only. Ru
mors of the resignations of Senors Rom

Nabbow Escape.—Albany Advertiser:
The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. C. M.
Clark had a very narrow escape from an
accident which would have doubtless re
sulted in a horrible death, on Saturday
last. The child was sitting in its little
carriage on the sidewalk in front of the
Barnes Hons?, when a runaway norse
attached to a beef wagon came dashing
up tbe street, heedless of all objects that
stood in his conrse. Seeing that the
child was in danger of being run over,
Arob, one of the colored waiters of the
Barnes Houbp, flew to its rescue, and
snatched it from its seat just as the
wheels of the flying vehicle struck the
lictle carriage and tore it to pieces. Had
the child remained ia its carriage a sec
ond longer, its escape from an awful
death would have been almost impos
sible.
His life was a very successful one, and
he wa8 one of the worthiest and moat es
teemed citizens of Savannah.

young lady about seventeen years old,
who stated to young Shirley after twice
attempting to shoot him, that she was in
love with him, hut saw no prospect of se
curing him, and so had determined to kill
,both him and herself. The pistol she

In Southern Texas, however, cotton
planting was pretty, much finished. Fur
ther North in Texas and in portions of
Louisiana aad Florida, cotton planting
was going on.
The Cotton Prospects—Ellison &
Co.’s Liverpool Circular of March 8tb,
quoted by the Chronicle, talks as fol
lows :
The outlook does not improve, so far as
the raw material is concerned; the posi
tion undoubtedly looks very strong, if we
merely regard tbe statistics ot present
and ptobable supplies, compared with
the figures of preceding season?; but tbe
statistics go for very little in ths face of
tbe long-Continued disastrous state of
trade in Manchester, and the absence of
the least indication of any immediate
change for the better. If anything in
deed, the poaition is worse than it was a
month since. Cotton ia low priced
enough, absolutely, bat it is very dear
compared with the price of yarn and
cloth; and the spinner is being crashed
between a firm market in Liverpool, oc
casioned by the aforesaid strong statis
tical position, and a weak market in
Manchester, oocasioned by sn inadequate
’demand for yarns and goods. The out
turn of the mills is being gradually re
duced by failures, . stoppages aBd
“short time,” but, so far, without
bringing the least relief. Eventually
matters will right themselves, and by
some means or other a paying margin be
tween the prices of tbe raw material and
the manufactured article will be brought
about. Whether this ahall bs accom
plished by a fall *in cotton or a rise in
yarns and goods romaina to ba seen. A
fieros struggle is going on between the
strong position of cotton and a bad etate
of trade. At the moment cotton has the
beet of the contest, and prices are much
better than they would have been if the.
East Indian, Egyptian and Brazilian
crops had not fallen off; but unless tiade
improve?, the position of cotton will be
come less and Jes3 strong as the season
advances and the advent of the new crop
approaches. Jast now the chances are
against any decline of importance, but
some improvement will have to take place
in Manchester before any advance of mo*
ment can be established.
There is still a considerable difference
of opinion touching the probable out-
tarn of the American crop. The known
facte to date are a3 follows:

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Total receipts to date 4,186,500 SSJ4.0C0
Here is an inorease of 352,000 bales
upon the movements daring last season.
The last crop was 4,811,000 bales. It the
above inoroase is maintained to the close
of the aeesoD, the oropwill reach 5,163,-
000 bales. Many authorities, however,
ore lookinglfor a falling off in tha re
ceipts after this date; bnt if they fell off
150,000 bales the crop will etill ba over
8,000.000 bales. So far as can be seen at
present ft looks as if tbe yield would vary
somewhere between 5,100,000 and 5,200,-
000 bales, or abont 100,000 bales more
than seemed probable six or eight weeks
ago. Against this there is a probability
of a deficit of 100,000 bales in ths ship
ments from Bombay. So that in tbe ag
gregate tbe supply of cotton promises to
be abont the same as that given In . onr
Annual Report issued in January.
It should be ncted tbat at the time
these remarks were written, middling
upland waa worth in Liverpool 5 6 16. It
has since risen and waa quoted in onr laet
at 513-16, a riee of a half penny; so that
it will be seen that the cotton position
has .materially atreogtbened in the paat
fifteen days, notwithstanding the de
pressed condition of the ootton goods
market. It may also be noted that tbe
cotton exoess a fortnight ago was 352,000
bales, whereas it is now 230,000, with a
prospect of a farther decline.

AS X PREDICTED
two weeks ago, and .as tbe wires Informed
you last night, the House of Representa
tives of the 46 :h Congress was organized
yesterday by tbe xe-eleotioa of all the old
effisers, from Speaker down, they having
been named ia oanons for their respective
positions the night before. This ia as it
shonld be, and I augur tbe best results to
the party as well aa the country there*
from. There was not maoh margin, it is
txne, bnt enongh for all praotioal pur.
poses. If Hr. Hayes imagined he wonld
oatoh the Demoorate asleep by calling the
extra session so early, he fonnd out hie
mistake yesterday. The Greenbackbrs
also discovered their weakness, whioh I
hope will prove a usefnl lesson. They
were of no mare soooant than the fly
on the wheel, and their boasted twenty,
odd men dwindled to fonrteen—all told.
Henceforth their big talk will be heavily
discounted, and their drafts on pnblio
orednlity returned unhonored.
THE TIGHT
for the Speakership and for Clerk of
the House, were both exceedingly sharp,
not to say bitter. Blackburn’s frieifda
were exceedingly aetive and aggressive,
and did an immense amount of heavy
work. They had as allies all tbo “outg”
and a largo portion of the resident popu-'
lation who did an immense amount of
talking and claiming. All things consid
ered, he and Caldwell made good races,
bnt neither ever had the ghost of a chance
to win, Blackburn’s speech in the can
ons after hia defeat, withdrawing his
name, and moving Randall’s nomination,
was one of the neatest bite of oratory
ever heard, and told immensely in his
favor. If he had won, ot coarse Adam’s
chances wonld have been rained, both
being from the same Slate, and I can
well fancy the letters “turn mental
condition when the balloting between
Randall and Blackburn was going on.
The Georgia delegatoin voted solid for
Randall, as I predicted. For Clerk I
think tha vote was six for Adam?, and
three for Caldwell—the latter being; it
is understood, Messrs. Hammond, Speer
and Felton.
THE SCENE
in the House, and indeed at tbe capitol,
waa one of the liveliest I have seen since
the Belknap impeachment days. By ten
a. m. there was ecarcely standing room
the Hoase galleries, most of the
throng, of conrse, being women, who bad
evidently aotne prepared to sit it out,
many of them being provided with news
papers and novel?, but, so far as 1 conld
see, no knitting. There they sat, and
each a clatter and chatter! By noon
there waa not room in the galleries for a
thin knife blade, and the halls and pas
sages up and do »n-stairs wore jammed
with people of all eort?, sizes, colors and
conditions. Ths. clerk took position at
his desk, and then tho business com
menced. As tbe roll progressed there
.was considerable staring as certain
names ware called—notably those of Gen.
Joe Johnston and Robeson. The former
carries his years lightly and lookB in fine
condition. There was also some craning
of necks and staring when the Green-
baoker DeLamatyr and Godlove Orth, of
Indiana, were called. Both are, however,
very common looking specimens, and one
look was sufficient for most of thestarers.
The proceedings generally were rather
tame, and hardly repaid far the long wait
of the gallery folks. There was one rath
er dramatic incident however, connected
with the vote for Speaker. As announced
the vote stood, Randall 143; Garfield 125;
Wright 13, and Kelly 1. This seemed
to eomewhat puzzle the Democrats as to
whether or notit was to elect Randall,
and just then that sweet oreature, Con
ger, rose and in hia silvery voice wanted
toknowifit didnot' require a majority
of all the members elect to choose a
Speaker. Just as Clerk Adams was about
to reply,a deep-toned voice on the extreme
right of the ball called out: “Mr. Clerk,
I want to vote;” and the Speaker was in
stantly the focus for all eyes. “Mr.
O'Reilley,” called tbe Clerk. “I vote for
Samuel J. Randall,” was the .response,
and then yon ought to have heard the
applause. This gave Randall 144 votes
which was a majority of all the members
eleot, and then the old Conger eat down,
looking as if he had jast been made to
swallow an emetic. Mr. O'Reilley, who
was called to Brooklyn.by important bus
iness, had jnst returned, arriving by tha
1 o’clock train. Ho hurried to the
House and reaohed tbe poeition he occu
pied when he voted, jnst in time to learn
th&thiB vote was needed. ' Mr. Rsndalt-
might have voted for himself, and have
thus disposed of the Question raised, but
as both Garfield and Wright had remained
silent, he would not consent to cast his
ballot. When order had been restored
Mr. Adams road the official vote, and de
clared that Samuel J. Ra&dall had been
duly elected Speaker. This was the sig
nal for another hearty round of Democrat-
ic applause. During tho entiroproceedings
Mr. Randall had ccrupied a seat on tbe
extreme right of the Democratic side,
and there be was fonnd by'Messrs. Black,
hum and Garfield, who had been designa
ted^ escort him to the chair.
DRAWING TOR SEATS
was the basis for tbe usual amoent tf in-
waid si earing snd ontward attetup's at
the utmost unconcern. Willis, of Ken
tucky, was tbe first noma drawn, and be
took bis old seat. Blackburn, Garfield,
Atkins, Tucker, Hanton, Clymer, Kelly
and Ewing all got good seats; but Geo.
Johnston and Fernando Wood bad the
worst of lack, being compelled to tike
seats on tbe extreme oater row near tbe
main door. The Georgia members all
fared pretty badly, net one of them sc
ouring e really good seat. The attempt
was made to allow oertais old members,
euoh at Kelly, Stephens, Wood, Gsrfield
and one or two others, to (elect their scale
in advance, bnt ao many other names
were added that tbe re eolation wee bro
ken down by being overloaded, and was
finally laid on the'table. By tbe Upre
the drawing was finished everybody wtu
pretty well worn ont, end on adjourn
ment et half past foot wee eagerly wel
comed.
THE TSOtriCT AHEAD
seems rather mixed, and there ere' many
men of many minds ae' regard* the out.
come of the extra session, its length,
etc. But nobody knows anything worth
recording. If Mr. Hayes’ backbone has
really been stiffened, then is every pres-
poet ahead for a^loLg straggle between
the two parties. * The Democrats swear
then will be no boekdewn on their: pert
this time, nod the Radicals ere equally
defiant At their caucus they resolved
not to introduce any bills or attempt any
business except that tor which Congress
was specifically colled, and if they stand
by that one gnat obstacle to a short ses
sion will be removed. Whether the
Demoorate will follow suit remains t» be
seen. I hardly think they will, bnt that
very eoon the usual avdouche of bill*
will oommence » move. If both sides
“stick” to their programme matter* will
some to ndtafitorit; with ths key ia Hr.
Hayes’ hand. But it is so, ues speeula-
confidential, and not to bo repeated un
der any circumstances. ~
