Millbb, of Atlanta, has chased oue-tliird interest in the Griffin JVetes. Mr. J. D. Alexander will be man aging editor, and the paper will be owned by the two gentlemen named. Prosperity for the News is our wish. Judge J. J. Harper, of Zebulon, dead. Bolixgbkoke revels in strawberries and cream. Judge R. F.

Seventy-iive thousand dollars have been subscribed. R. It. Blocker is announced as a can didate for Ordinary of Clay county. By the way, since he tried to stop a train at Dawson by gettting under it, a few weeks since, he lias been more than ever a R. R- Blocker. The Columbus Enquirer keeps a list of the gin houses burned in Georgia. The number is sixty to date. A Mormon church has been established in Paulding county. A Roman Catholic church is about to be established in Rome. It is stated that Georgia has 137 coun ties, in which 193 papers are published Of these 12 are. daily, 4 tri-weekly, 3 semi weekly, 154 weekly, 2 semi-monthly and 18 monthly. Rev. Dr. H. R. Brouse, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, lias been called to St. An drew’s church (Episcopal) in Darien. He will probably accept. The young people of Covington luxu riated in the festivities of a leap year par ty on last Friday night. The question whether or not Augusta shall subscribe $50,000 to the stock of the Augusta and Knoxville railroad is to be submitted to a vote of the people of that city. Mr. Stephens is denying something again. The Augusta Chronicle of yes terday contains this special: “The tele gram to the Atlanta Constitution, which you re-publisli, is utterly untrue. Alexan der II. Stephens.” What that disputed tele gram contains is not stated. Conyers Examiner: Great prepara tions arc being made to put the Macon and Augusta railroad in first-class order, as that will be the main freight line in future, under the Louisvdle and Nash ville, Central and Georgia Railroad com bination. Griffin A'cics: The Superior Court has been in session at Forsyth since last Monday, his Honor, Judge Simmons, of the Macon Circuit, presiding. In Judge Simmons’ hands, the rights and liberties of the people are safe, and the people among whom he presides always feel and. itnow it. We learn from the Athens Banner that on Wednesday night last, as the passen ger train on the Northeast Railroad go: to Nicholson, the Postmaster at that place went down to get the mail bags, and found that Mr. Bill Davis, the mail agent on the road, was not in the car. Mr. Pat terson, the conductor, said that he last saw him at Harmony Grove. The train was immediately backed up the road, and when about a mile from Nicholson, Davis was found lying by the track in an un conscious state, his head badly cut, and, it is thought, with his skull broken. No one seems to know how he happened to fall out of the car, and Davis himself is not iu a condition to tell anything about it. Thomasville Times: We noticed the fact of Mr. I. T. Taylor’s horse having been found tied to a sapling near Mr. Blackshear’s last week, and the additional fact that Mr. Taylor had not been heard from for several days. We predicted, however, that Tom would turn up, which he did on Friday afternoon. It seems that some footsore, impecunious specimen had taken Mr. Taylor’s horse from the neighborhood of Grooverville, and had utilized the beast in getting to Tbomas- ville, leaving it tied out as stated. Griffin News: Mr. S. S. Swann, well known farmer of Monroe county, came to town to-day in his wagon, and after transacting various matters of busi ness, started home. He sat in the rear end of the .vagon, a negro man driving. Just after leaving town, Mr. Swann fell sud denly out of the wagon, falling on his head, and breaking his neck. Death re sulted immediately. The deceased was about sixty years of age. Dublin Gazette: Sadly Disappoint- u.. Last Saturday Mr. Tom Maddox lost his store key and failed to find it. During the day he put a new lock on just above the old one and during the night succeeding, some one went to the door ami unbolted the old lock, and by violent pushing aroused Mr. M., who, getting up, made a noise and the would-be theif ran off. The key had been found and the intention was to go in and commit a bur glary. Dublin Gazette: Last Monday, as Messrs. E. L. and W. F. Harvard were coming to town, their horse became fright ened, ran and upset the buggy, threw both out, but, strange to say, neither was hurt, nor was the buggy scratched. Correspondence of the Griffin News: Wlien I was boy there lived near Boling- broke an old gentleman by the name of John Howard. He was a man of strong prejudices, but was one of the salt of the earth as to honesty and integrity. When he believed in a thing he believed in it, and when he didn’t, he didn’t. In pass ing the old man’s grave the other day, I concluded to copy the epitaph, which was placed by his own direction on the beauti ful monument which marks his last rest ing place. This is the inscription, after giving the dates of his birth and death: “He died in the communion of tljq Primitive Baptist church; was a zealous member of the fraternity of F. & A. Ma sons, to whose highest honors he had at tained; and was always a conscientious Whig. He desires his political faith en graved on his tomb.' 5 Conyers Examiner: A species of out lawry and malicious mischief perpetrated in our town, on last Saturday night is dis graceful in the highest extent, the young men, or boys, or who ever have lowered themselves to such a degree as to engage in such disreputable conduct, and if caught should be made to suffer the full penalty of the law. A party of young men or boys were parading the streets at a late hour at night, shooting pistols, yelling and disturbing citizens. Not satisfied w(th this, they took their knives and slit up the awn ing of H. P. & D. M. Almand & Co., pas sing the residence of J. R. Langford, threw rocks, and some other missies on the "iass top of his hot-house for plants, de molishing the glass. The marshal is on their 'rack, and tldnks he lias a clew that ..•tn lead to the identification of tlys party ol lawbreakers. 1 <’ Griffin News: Prof.Smith has re tired from his select school in this city, and is succeeded by Prof. Link, of Macon. Prof. Link is a thorough gentleman, a ‘me scholar, and of superior classical at- n foment#* He taught school in this city g Professor in the Synodical College, and has still in this community many warm friends. Since leaving Griffin, he lias been engaged in teaching a select school in Macon, where he- has always given every satisfaction. He reached this cjty yesterday, and will enter upon his duties to-morrow. With the assistance of Mrs. Campbell, who will remain, the school will flourish and prosper. Thescbool has now an attendance of fifty pupils. Prof. Smith contemplates taking charge of a school in Atlanta at an early day. 23is family will likely remain here until next fall. ' ' . , Americus Recorder : The end of the chapter on fish stories has not yet been reached. The latest promulgation is from Marion county. The story is a good one. like everything else emanating from that people. It is true, for it comes from the excellent Arffus, whose editor is a preach er. The story goes thus: “Mr. David Holton, near Tazewell, was fishing one day last week, and caught three fish on the same hook. He had baited a large hook with a minnow, and soon a small jack fish came along and made a meal of it. In a short time a larg er brother jack satisfied his hunger by swallowing the first jack and his feast. Before the last named jack had enjoyed the benefit of his catch, a hungry trout made a full meal of three others suspended on the hook.” Griffin News: Suicides in Pike Coun ty.—Information reached us yesterday that Coley Johnson, a young man living near Holionville, in PiKe county, commit ted suicide last week by taking morphine. A short time previous to his death, an old negro woman, noticing something singu lar^ in liis actions, asked him what was the matter. He replied that he had been tak ing some medicine. She asked him what, He replied, “A dose of quinine or strych nine, I don’t know which.” She then said, “Ain’t you afraid you will kill your self?” He responded very carelessly, “I don’t care if I do.” But a little while afterwards he was dead. It will be re membered by many of our readers that the deceased in 18OT was convicted of as sault with intent to rape, and sentenced to the penitentiary. A strong petition was sent up to Governor Colquitt to par don him, for the reason that Johnson was nearly blind and far from bright men tally. He was pardoned out last year. The crime that the young man had com mitted, and the ill respect in which he was held by the community in which he lived, preyed upon him to such an extent that his mind-was depressed, and he was often heard to say that his life was un satisfactory and a burden to him. It was this state of feeling that caused him to take his own life. This makes two sui cides for Pike county during last week, The second, Mr. S. G. Slade, was repor ted in the News yesterday. Henry county Weekly: Although the sale has been finally. confirmed, it is feared by many that the Macon' and Brunswick extension will not touch Hen ry county after all. There is a rumor to the effect that some station on the Macon and Augusta Railroad will be made tlic initial point, whence it will take a direct course to Covington, connecting with the Georgia Railroad at that place. By using the tracks of the Georgia and Macon and Augusta roads to and from the points in dicated the connecting link can be built at a saving of at least thirty miles, and consequently of a vast amount of money. We trust the report is without foundation. Forsyth is moving for a public library. The two literary clubs will combine and use all their efforts for that object. Monroe county jury scrip sells for ninety-two cents and is in demand, The Park theatre company plays in Griffin in a night or two. Mr. Gabriel Parks, an old and highly respected resident of Monroe county, is dead. Dr. Inskip, the distinguished Metho dist divine, is holding a series of meet ings in Savannah Savannah is rolling around on skates, and carnivals are of frequent occurrence. In Dooly county planting is under full headway. The children’s day is beginning to be talked of by the press of the State. Peach trees are blooming in Ogle thorpe county. A tkout weighing fifteen pounds was caught from a mill-pond near Quitman, a day or two since. “Georgia Press” man of the Chroni cle and Constitutionalist, greeting: Why so often knocking at the Athenian gates. Mayor Wilkess, of Waynesboro, since the recent fire in that place, lias bought the old hotel and will erect a block of brick stores. Eleven candidates are out for the Leg islature in Macon county. Four districts are still to be heard from. TnE Thomasville Times thinks that “Georgia is for Tilden first, and any good Democrat afterwards.” Supervisor Charles R. Johnson, of Griffin, is literally and overwhelmingly besieged by applicants for the position of census enumerators for this district. A Schley county farmer bought a safe for keeping his money and valuable pa pers. When it reached home he was forc ed to ask some of his neighbors to aid him in gettingit into his house, and when he got Jt into .the piazza it was so heavy as to go crushing through the fit Rome Tribune: A dividend' df five per cent, for six months’ business, was paid yesterday by the Georgia and Alabama Steamboat Company to its stockholders. There was a transfer of a few sharep of the stock yesterday at 70 cents, and there was a lot held for higher prices. We predict that the stock of this excellent company will be at par shortly. . ’ • “We learn,” says the Athens Banner, “that a survey for the extension of the Northeastern Railroad, at'least as far as Clarksville, will be made at an early day. Indeed, we leatn that arrangements have already been made for tills survey. This Is all right and just as it should be. The ]>eople of Athens and of all-Northeast Georgia have jiqejyanxiously waiting and expecting some movement lookiug'to the extension of this road, and any news promising activity on that Hnp will be to them good news. Let the survey be made, and let the extension speedily-follow.” Lumpkin- Independent: Dr. Thomas B. Miller, of Pineville, informs us,that on Saturday last, while a negro was hunting, he kicked a cocklebm bush, and that one of the burs lodged in the negro’s-wind pipe. It was quite a large one,- and for two hours the negro was unable-to speak. With considerable difficulty Dr. Miller succeeded in removing it, notwithstanding it was ont of sight. The negro-cquld not have lived a great white Jongerbad the bur not been removed^ 1 The Borne Tribune tells ap. amusing story on a Justice of the Eeaeo'living not a thousand miles from Rome, Who, a few days’ago, was called on to marry a couple. Not being.in-tlie habit of performing the ceremony, the Justice became a little con fused, hut managed to go through the form, until he came to the concluding words, when he wound up thus: “And now I pronounce you man and wife, and may- God hazdohtrey on your soulsf’. a The Augusta Neics recently, copied an interesting letter from ‘*a Maine man in Georgia,” C.

The Register says: “The parties who control the society are prejudiced against the Southern people, and are not willing to trust the children in our bands. They have consented, however, to send a company or two to Georgia as a sort of experiment. These boys had been assigned to other counties before any application bad been received from Franklin. The Secretary expects to get other companies assigned to Georgia during the year, and promises that Frank lin county shall be supplied next, and will notify the people here in time for them to send the necessary registration fee.” Savannah News: We are informed that on Sunday afternoon, about dusk, a disgusting exhibition took place near the junction of the Louisville and Augusta Roads, which attracted a laige crowd of negroes from the surrounding country. This was a regular prize fight between two negro men, Henry Mock and John Mills. The fight was brutal, and lasted some time. Mock was very badly used up, his face being tearfully bruised and his left side seriously injured. After several rounds had been fought, Mock succumbed, and the spectators declared the figlit in favor of Mills. The scene was disgraceful in the extreme and lasted some time. a onroe Advertiser: Tom Pi'nnan, a negro who is fn jail for horse stealing, was the victim of an accident last week. He was assisting the jailer to close the heavy iron door to his cell, when three of liis fingers were caught between the door and the wall, and were cut entirely off. Tlie wound was dressed by Dr. Moore, and the prisoner Was removed to a lower and more comfortable room. His wound will probably not interfere with his trial this week. The same paper says: Judge Simmons is an admirable presid ing officer. He is very quiet in. manner and carries along the business smoothly. He preserves excellent order and dispatch es business rapidly, but does so in a pleas ant manner, by commanding respect, without the reign of terror that is the met hod of some judges.. Judge Simmons read law and was ad mitted to the bar in Forsyth, and our cit izens are proud of his continued and steady advancement. He is one of Geor gia’s solid citizens, whose influence for good is felt wherever lie goes. Rome Courier: It appears that the Lookout Mountain Railroad Company has been organized at Chattanooga, and re solved to build a road to Rome by the first of March, 1S81. That, with the two the Northwestern companies are going to build and the one on the Memphis branch charter, makes four. There are several other dead charters hid out, which of course will soon be vitalized. We say again one road is enough for the business, and the lands along the line are too good to be devoted entirely to railroad tracks. Do leave some for farming purposes. Says the Cumming Clarion: On Tues day morning Jim Roc, colored made his escape from the jail in this place under the following circumstances: Hp was confined in the lower room of the jail, and having matches and a lamp with him/he set to work to bum.liis way out by burn ing a bole through the trap doors, and burned a hole sufficiently large to thrust bis arm through and remove the padlock that seciued them down. He then came to the upper floor and replaced the doors and crouched behind the outer door, and as Captain Foster, jailer, started in, he sprang upon him, pushed him back upon the platform and rau down the steps. Talbotton Register: Two negroes, George Walker and another whose name we could not learn, made their escape from the jail on last Saturday night, by tearing off a piece of plank nailed over a bole iu the floor, through which a former prisoner had escaped. The hole had been refilled, and was thought to have been se cure. George Walker was implicated in the murder of a negro on Mr. Thomas Baisden’s place, near Redbone, which we chronicled some time since. Nothing has as yet been heard of the escaped birds. Savannah Neics: Yesterday morning, about five o’clock, a policeman found a white man lying cuRtlie sidewalk on Bay street, in a dying condition. The police man requested the proprietor of a house on Bay street lane, in the vicinity, to take charge of tlie unfortunate man, which he consented to do. The two then started to carry tlie helpless man to the house, but before they reached it be had expired. He was taken into the place and the Coro ner was notified and held an inquest, when the deceased was recognized as Roger Coyne. From the testimony given before tlie Coroner, it appeared that the deceased had been drinking freely for some time, and had eaten nothing for ful ly a week. On Saturday last he had com plained of a pain in his side and breast. After considering the evidence the jury returned a verdict of death from Provi dential causes. The deceased was about thirty years of age. The Pcnfield correspondent of the Ogle thorpe Echo writes as follows; ' | ■ Mr. J. M. Floker lias purchased the building on “the college ground, better known as the Big Brick Building.” He lias tom down about one-third of it. He ha3 ^recently covered the laboratory and preparation is now being made to enclose the grounds with a new picket fence. The Ciceronian hail is very much damaged, having lost nearly all of the plastering over head from leakage. Wc regret to see these grand old buildings and classic halls, that were planted by our fathers and loved by us all, to go to rack. And right here we will say that a grosser wrong was never perpetrated upon a com* niunity, nor a greater dishonor (lone to the memory of those who endowed and founded it, than tlie removal of Mercer University fromPenfield. t j • .* A Heavy Backset A Washington special to the Cincinnati Republican says tlie Grant boom lias had a heavy backset, if signs in Washington are of significance. His friends have re ceived information from New Yori which is the reverse of cheerful. This informa tion is to the general effect that he. Cannot carry the State if nominated; that enough Republicans will bolt the nomination to give the State to the Democrats. These views are confirmed by a writer in New York, who prints a letter in to-day’s Washington Star. He says: “If many Republicans intend to-' vote as they talk, it would seem to be impossible for Grant to carry /New York in Novem ber. Even those who are friendly to him personally, and, as a rule, supported his administrations, are so thoroughly im pressed with the ‘unwritten law; of the constitution’ against a third term, that they promise to bpth. work (pld vote against him. Many of them go so far as to state"tliat they will TOte for tne .Cjncjtji nati nominee, if ho 51yvesfo have “bee: consistent on tlie financial questic San Francisco’s Model Mayor. Kallock as Mayor, says the World, con tinues to be the Kallocli whose unsavory and scandalous history drove him from his early home. Day before yesterday this Mayor, this precious guardian of or der, made a speech endorsing the atrocious resolutions of a bloodthirsty Sand Lots cabal. The purport of one of those reso lutions was that if the sand lots heroes were opposed “by the employment of any police or other force to interfere with the peaceful operation of law in the abate ment of the Chinese nuisance”—that is to say with the enforcement of the dishonest and cruel decision of the sand lots Board of Health—“we will assert and maintain our rights, avenge onr friends and visit upon the low, designing minions of power, backed up though they may be by cow ardly capitalists and corporations, punish ment so swift and speedy that the read er of history will shudder at the record.” Now, this model Mayor, thi3 guardian of law and order, this- precious protector of property and rights, made a speech in support of these atrocious resolutions saying that “in substance they embodiei. his views.” Cataline was a respectable character in comparison. The ladies sing “in the sweet ‘buy’ and *bny,’ we will meet in that beantifui store,” and we certainly can raise no ob jection. But remember the little home, and do not leave the nurse without a bot tle of Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup. BY TELEGRAPH The Exploit of a Mighty Hunter. The Calais (Maine) Advertiser says: Here is a new instance of the “spirit of ’76-” While Mr. Joseph Lovering, of Al exander, was driving across Meddybemps lake last week, he saw a deer on ice. Starting his horse on the run lie gave chase to the deer, which slipped badly, and as it got within a rod of land Mr. Lovering ran his horse upon it and knock ed it down, and as he went by in the pung he reached out and caught the deer, and, throwing it across the pung, cut its throat and brought the carcass to market. This was pretty smart hunting for any one, and as Mr. Lovering is seventy-six years old, bis exploit may well be considered that of a mighty hunter. Few men would have thought of hunting deer witli a horse and pung and jack-knife, to say nothing of killing them with such weapons. KATE FIELD’S BONANZA. The Coming Revolution in Dress* makiner. The New York correspondent of tlie Philadelphia Ledger 1 *ys: There is some trouble, I am told, among the fasliionable milliners and modistes of Fifth avenue, Ninth street and University place, about the announcement in yester day’s letter that Miss Kate Field is going to start a Ladies’ Co-operative Association with a capital of a quarter of a million dollars, in shares of $25 each. They say that-if-it succeeds theeuterprise will drive them oqt of the business altogether, just as the colossal faftcy stores, or bazaars, in Sixth avenue, by means of their large cap ital, have driven the smaller storekeepers to the Wall. The complaint may liot be unreasonable, but as Miss Kate Field rarely puts ber hand to anything without determining that it shall be a success, perhaps it would be better philosophy on the part of the modistes to endeavor to adapt themselves to the change, instead of making unavailing complaints about it. Tlie general public, in all such cases, it should be remem bered, have important interests, which ought not to be overlooked. If they can get bonnets or dresses made by Miss Kate Field twenty-five per cent, less, and in much less space of time than at present, the gain to them will be immense, ilf it throws some women oat of employment in one direction it will, 011 the other band, open up a wider field for employ ment in another, just as the great .Sixth avenue establishments Lave done. In any event, tlie movement is an interesting one, and its further progresswill be worth watching. ’ Miss Field may not be pos sessed of the needed capital herself, but it is tolerably certain she can command it, She belongs to a family that lias a strong financial backing, and, what is more, with brains to know how to turn it to practical account. The Baltimore Post-Office. In our night telegrams of Monday, it was stated that on the motion of Mr. 1 Man ual, of Maryland, the rules were suspend ed and the bill passed appropriating $550,- 000 to purchase the Site for the post-office in Baltimore. This was an error. It was due to the tireless exertions of Mr. Kim- mell, not Manual, that this bill so impor tant to Baltimore, was carried through, consistent on the even tlie fact (hat one Presidcntial'tefni lias intervened,sinceJhe tyst.Grant-ad ministration, lias any influence among the opponents. They put their,opposition on the broad ground that no ohe man in this country Is essential in’the Presidential of fice, to" the peace and prosperity of tlie Nationpand that security for the present and the future demand that this be estab lished on the very threshold of such a claim.

Kessler, No. 104 North Wolfe j street, Philadelphia, and was aiterwardk'taken charge of by Mrs. Sarah Parrot, who de sired to adopt / it. Yesterday a parried lady, living in East Baltimore, went to Mrs. Parrot stating that she Was the mother of the cliild and demanded its re turn. Her explanation ot tlie circumstan ces ofleaving the cliild, was that took the yard for that of the house of the child’s grandmother, who lived ramr by, and in whose charge she intended jo leAVe the infant. Mrs. Parrot, however, posi tively declined to part with thp child, which had come into her possession so strangely, and both parties appealed to tlie police'. They were powerless to adt in the premises, and the mother will have to take other steps to repossess herself ot the treasoreslie cast away. Tlie grandmother stated that had she found the child in her yard, she would not have undertaken the charge of it. 1. ’ m Portland, March 2.—Deering, Cape Elizabeth, Bridgeton, Falmouth, Gorham, Kennebunk, fcennebunkport, Carmel, Fryeburg and Hiram have all given Re publican majorities.

C. Stockton, nephew of Com modore Stockton, and cousin of Senator Stockton, committed suicide at the Eutaw House last Sunday by taking morphine. He left a note saying: “I die because I have got no home to go to.” He held many offices of distinction. He was a Soutli Carolinian by birth, and a gradu ate at the naval academy. He was with Commodore Perry in the Japan expedi tion. and at the outbreak of the civil war, resigned the position of commander in the UnitedStates navy to join the Confederate navy in which he was captain, afterwards becoming colonel of land forces.

The denial of that motion was not a denial of a right secured to him by any law providing for equal civil rights of citizens of the United States, by • anv statute, or by the Fourteenth Amendment. A mixed jury in particular cases is not essential to equal protection of the laws. It is a right to which any col ored man is entitled, that in the election ■of jurors to. .pass upon his life, liberty or property, there shall, be no exclusion of liis race because of color, but a diilerent thing from what, claimed as of right and denied in a State Court, viz: ■ A right to have a jury composed in part of colored men. From these principles it follows that the Federal Court had no rightful jurisdiction of the case and that a writ 01 mandamus for tlie restoration of prison er to the State authorities must be granted and tlie court so ordered.

T,he petition for the writ of Habeas corpus is, Washington, March 2.—In the Sen ate bills were introduced and referred, as follows .* By Mr. Harris, to print ten thousand copies of the yellow fever Commission re ports. By Mr. Bailey, to refund the National debt. It proposes a new three per cent bond in exchange for outstanding bonded indebedness. By Mr. Hoar, a resolution, which was adopted, providing that the committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire and report whether any American citizen has been arrested and imprisoned for the ex ercise of their constitutional rights to pe tition this body-concerning the title to a seat of a Senator from the State of which they are citizens, with power to send for persons or papers. This is supposed to refer to the action of a majority of the Louisiana Legislature in regard to the memorial of a minority of that body in relation to Mr. Kellogg’s seat in the Senate. Senator Logan spok* at great length on the Fitz John Porter bill. He opposed the bill, holding that there was no appeal from the decision of an organized court- martial. He was interrupted by Mr. Hill of Georgia, and Mr. Jones, of Florida, anil devoted some time to answering their in quiries. Mr. Logan’s argument w&3 tech nical in character. He admitted that the President may pardon Porter to-morrow, and that Congress can authorize his ap pointment, if they chose, as an army offi cer. Adjourned. In the House Mr. Blackburn’s motion led to a spirited debate between Messrs. Conger, Frye, House, Garfield and oth ers, an amendment to Rule 21 being tlie subject of dispute. The amendment to Rule 21, known as the Morrison substi tute, was agreed to. The next amend ment was one requiring the yeas and nays to be taken on the passage of any bill ap propriating money or relating to the rev enue laws. After being amended so as to require tlie yeas and nays to be taken on the passage of the general appropria tion and revenue bills and bills for the improvement of rivers and harbors, it was agreed to. Several other minor amend ments were agreed to, and a great num ber of others were rejected, after which the revised rules were adopted by a vote of 122 to 88, and on motion of Mr. Gar field, it was agreed that they should go into effect Monday next. The House then adjourned. The House Committee of Ways and Means virtually decided to-day against any revision of the tariff laws during the present session of Congress by indefinite ly postponing the consideration of the su gar question, the steel rail question and the bill reducing the tariff on certain arti cles embraced in section 2,504 of the Re vised Statutes. Three votes were taken by the committee resulting seven to six in each instance. Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, favored the revision of both internal reve nue and tariff system with a view to equal izing tlie burdens of taxation upon all -’asses and interests, and offered a resolu tion for appointment of a committee of five members to take into consideration the entire subject and report at the open ing of the next session of Congress. The resolution was, however, on mo tion of Morrsion, tabled by a vote of seven to six as follows: Yeas, Morrison, Mills, Garfield, Kelley, Conger, Frye and Wood. Nays, Tucker, Gibson, Phelps, Carlisle, Felton and Donnell. As the questions disposed of to-day are considered the most important that Lave been referred to tlie committee during the present session, the result is generally ac cepted as an indication that no tampering with the tariff will be encouraged or per mitted by this Congress.
