ox Kis Action.
Washington, April 25.—As soon as
yesterday's journal was read Mr. Hansom,
dem . of North Carolina, notified the pre
ying officer that Mr. Jarvis, appointed
by the governor of North Carolina to fill
t , ■ vacant y cattsen by the death of Mr.
V : ce, and whose credentials had been
presented a few days ago, was present
ar.d ready to take the oath.
The Vice President thereupon re
quested the appointed senator to advance
and take the oath; and the new senator,
escorted by Mr. Ransom, went to the'
secretary's desk and the oath was ad
ministered to him. In taking it he held
up his left hand, his right arm being dis
abled. He was afterward introduced by
Mr Ransom to many of his democratic
gsso iates. He is a tall, courtly, dignified
loo.ung gentleman, about 60 years of age.
His hair, whiskers and moustache are
white, with a stripe of baldness running
alone the center of bis head. He was
faultlessly attired in black broadcloth.
i resolutions ottered yesterday, by
Mr. Allen, pop . of Nebraska, asserting
"the right of persons visiting Washington
vo assemble peacefully and petition for
regress of grievances was laid before the
senate.
Vl-T PEPIIECATES THE RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Vest deprecated the introduction
of resolutions on that sub eet. It seemed
to him that the persons alluded to had
toon treated like all other persons. If
they observed the laws they would be,
a> a mat ter of course, not molested by
the naval, state or municipal authori
ties, and if they violated the
laws they ought to be punished.
He regretted that any one should
think there was any necessity
for either branch of congress to declare
the fundamental truths that were con
tained in the body of tho resolution. It
intimati and a want of c onfidence in Ameri
can institutions and the ex. cution of the
law. which was much to be deplorea. If
his constituents came to the capital and
viol ued the law he should expect them to
bcipuuisued. That they had a right to
come was so plain and unquestioned that
uny supiHxsitioa. in regard to it was a re
j flection on Uie inielligenie and patriotism
of the people of the whole country.
THE TRAIN STEALERS.
There was a statement iu the preamble
as to "unarmed, lawabiding and peace
fully disposed, but unemployed citizens of
the United .States.” If the senator (Mr.
Allem meant by that to include the men
who had trampled on the law and seized
priva e property,and undertaken to secure
transportation to Washington by force
of arms, then he (Mr. Vest) had to dissent
from any such pro, osition. Those who
had violated the laws would have to
abide by the consequences. "That whole
issue." Mr. Vest declared, "must be met
right here and now. We cannot,, for one
instant, hesitate or falter. lam not here
tn make any profession of sympathy
with any particular class of the
American people. I have not In me one
drop of blood that would create the
slightest antagonism to any section or
class of people particularly to those who
by force of circumstances are now unem
ployed. But they must learn to abide by
the law. If this congress, for one single
instant, compromises Hie stern truth that
every eiti en in this country must boa
law abiding citizen, we commence a
er- vasse in the institutions of the country
huh will end iu a Hood, and in our final
destruction.”
WOLCOTT IN LINE WITH VEST.
Mr Wolcott, rep., of Colorado, said: “I
am at a loss to understand the purpose of
the introduction of this resolution, which
1 changes no existing law, but seems to ex
tend a cringing invitation to some thou
sands of people, calling themselves un

TIME TO FROWN ON SOCIALISM.
‘‘lt is time, Mr. President, that we had
the courage lo stand together against
this socialism and populism and paternal
ism which is running riot in this tountrv
and which must end. if not checked, in
tne destruction of the liberties which
the laws and constitution give us—lib
erties which should be dearer to us than
I am opposed to the adoption
of this resolution.”
Mr. Dolph, rep., of Oregon, concurred
Mr. Vest, and said that the pream-
Die to the resolution was a slander upon
congress and upon the government of the
district. He also character! ed it as a
"lying preamble.” His remarks on that
point were declared bv Mr. Allen, but in
a tone of voice probably not audible to
Mrv Dolph, to be absolutely untrue.
Mr. Gray, dero., of Delaware, also con
demned the resolution, and defended the
action of the district commissioners in is
suing their proclamation and taking
measures lo protect the peace.
Mr. Allen spoke lor half an hour in just
ification of his offering the resolution, and
m the course of his remarks spoke of the
. "spontaneous uprising of American citi
| zens, oppressed and wronged.”
HOUR OF MEETING.
As soon as Mr. Allen took his seat, Mr.
Harrisjose and moved to proceed to the v
i consideration of the order proposed by
i llir " yesterday, for a daily meeting of the
i Senate at 11 o'clock in the morning, bo
ginning to-morrow.
Mr. Defter requested him to wiihhold
the motion so that he might speak for
five-minutes on the Allen resolution.
. Mr. Hums persisted in his motion and
it was agreed to -yeas 54, nays (5. (Sena
tors Allen, Dolph, Frye, Gallinger, ivyle
and Defier).
The question being on adopting the or
der, Mr. Aldrich said that there was a
general concurrence of feeling on his side
of the chamber that the convenience of
senators would be consulted by meeliug
earlier and ad ourning at an early hour
in the evening. There ore there would
be,uo resisten e on his side of the cham
ber to the adoption of the order
The order was agreed to without a di
vision, and Mr. Allen's resolution went
to the calendar.
HIGGINS ON HAWAII.
The tariff bill was then at 1:45 o'clock
taken up and Mr. Higgins, rep., of Dela
ware, delivered a speech upon the Hawa
iian question. Mr. Higgins finished the
reading of his speech at 5 o'clock, when Mr.
Gray offered his proposed rule forbidding
the reading of speeches in the Senate and
had it referred to the committee on rules.
Then Mr. Dolph took the floor and de
livered another instalment of his speech
against the tariff bill, after a call of the
.senate, which showed the presence of 55
senators.
While discussing the pottery question
he permitted Mr. Higgins to remark that
kaolin, the raw material of potterv, was
kept on the dutiauie list at #2 a ton. It
was largely mined in Delaware, but was
lound to some extent in North ( arolipa.
Delaware therefore presented her respects
to North Carolina, and thanked her for
the protection of her kaolin beds.
Mr. Dolph had not finished his speech
when the Senate, at 5:55 o'clock, pro
ceeded to executive business, ad ourning
soon after till to-morrow at 11 o’clock.
THE M’NEIL D ABE.
The Defendant Acquitted and the
Public Satisfied.
Waycross, Ga.. April 26.—The case of
the state vs. W. D. McNeil, charged with
misdemeanor, came up for trial yester
day morning, and the jury rendered a
verdict of acquittal at 9 o’clock last
night. Mr. McNeil is a son of W. A. Mc-
Neil, postmaster at this place, and is
acting as assistant postmaster. The tes
timony was all of a scandalous nature.
W. D. McNeil and Moses Spence were
talking in the latter’s store one night last
fall, when Spence insulted McNeil by in
troducing the name of McNeil’s mother
into the conversation. McNeil re
sented the insult, and Spence fired
at him twice with a pistol. McNeil was
unarmed, and after having secured a
shot gun from home, he returned to
Spence's store. He fired over Spence’s
head to frighten him. The gun wadding
fell on Spence’s back and burned an ugly
place. Spence was frightened and be
lieved he was seriously wounded. He
was said to have been badly burned, but
has recovered. The verdict gave general
satisfaction

Ocala. Fla., April 26.—Tony Jackson and
Peter Miller, while coming to town this
morning from Montague discovered, in
in a pond, two miles from Ocala, clothing
floating on the water. Cn investigation
they found the body of a man under the
clothing. His face was badly decomposed.
They could not say whether he was white
or black, or if violence had been inflicted
on the body. Coroner Hill will hold an
inquest in tho morning.
Gov. Flower Vetoes a Bill.
Albany, N. Y., April 2(s.—Gov. Flower
has vetoed the annual appropriation bill,
because the republican legislature re
fused to amend the bill by striking out a
seet.on to allow the attorney general to
designate ail the counsel employed by
the state commissions. This action of
the governor will probably delay the ad
journment.

CAROLINA’S PROHIBITIONISTS.
They Will Make a Hot Fight Against
the Opening of Saloons.
Columbia. S. C.. April 26.—The pro
hibitionists of this state have at last
officially taken a band in the fight that is
on between free whisky and prohibition.
L. D. Childs, chairman of the state ex
ecutive committee of the prohibi
tionists, to-day sent a communi
cation to Mayor Sloan, of this
city, asking him to take cognizance
of the fact that saloons are running here
witho it molestation or restriction. He
tells the mayor that he has been advised
by eminent counsel that the recent decis
ion of the supreme court means prohibi
tion. The * ommunication cont.iins no
threats, but it is a distinct warning that
the prohibitionists are now pre
pared for war and will fight to
the bitter end the free system of
saloons, or even the licensing of saloons
by cities. Mr. Childs claims that the law
is expressly against the licensing of
saloons. It is believed that the prohibi
tionist are ready for hot contests on all
sides and that they will.noi give or ask
quarter from the whisky eiement.
CHESTER’S COUNCIL ACTS.
The city council of Chester has put its
foot down on the sale of liquor, constru
ing the dispensary decision of the su
preme court to mean that prohibition
obtains, and that the municipal author,
ities have no power to grant liquor
licenses. The council has passed an or
dinance declaring that—
Wher -as, Liquor is t eing onenly sold
here, and "in consideration of the great an
novance and injury resulting to the people of
this i ommunily from the flagrant violation of
the statute la a of the state ’ all such places
are deemed nuisances, and commanding the
police to a ate them forthwith, and imposing
a penalty, on conviction of not less than &U 0
line or twenty days imprisonment.
It is thought that this will bring the
matter before the supreme court and fur
nish a test ease for determining the exact
meaning of the court’s recent misty de
cision. It is reported that the liquor men
will apply for an injunction if the police
swoop down on them.
LICENSES AT GREENVILLE,
The city council of Greenville settled
the liquor license question to-night b.y de
ciding to grant licenses. By a vote of 6
to 4 the city attorney was instructed to
prepare a suitable ordinance, with a pro
vision prohibiting the sale of liquor to
minors or inebriates, and requiring
saloon weepers to sell only within certain
prescribed hours.
RAILROADS IN A ROW.
The Louisville and Nashville Sues the
Illinois Central.
Louisville, Ky., April 26.—Late yester
day afternoon suit was filed in the federal
court here by the Louisville and Nashville
Company against the Illinois Central
Railroad Company, to have the contract
with the Illinois Central in the purchase
of the Huntington lines enforced.
The trouble is mainly over
the joint use of the 121
miles of the Chesapeake, Ohio and South
western between Fulton, Ky.. and Mem
phis. It is possible the Illinois Central
may operate the Chesapeake, Ohio and
Southwestern as a competing line. The
state's attorneys are confident they can
prevent the Louisville and Nashville
Company completing the purchase even if
it adjusts the differences with the Illi
nois Central.
DON’T DEFY THE COURT.
Mr. Bivens Explains Why He Did Not
Turn Over the Property.
Cordele, Ga., April 26.—Joseph E.
Bivens wishes to modify the statement
made in to-day’s paper iu regard to his
attitude toward the order of the judge
in the receivership cases. He says that
he did not intend to defy the court, but
simply refused to turn his wife's prop
erty over to the receivers until he could
consult his attorney, Judge Allen Fort,
us. Bivens is quite ill to-day, but will
urn the property over when she recovers,
the case has been greatly talked about
to-day.

JUDGE HARDEN S FLAN.
The Call ae He Read It at the Deben
ture Holders’ Meeting.
The plan of action suggested by Judge
William D. Harden to the holders of cer
tificates of indebtedness of the Central
railroad, as well as the holders of other
unprotected securities, contains somo in
teresting features.
There have been several requests for it
in full and it is published herewith. Tho
principal objection made to the other
plan by Judge Harden was that it out
lined no plan for the committee which
was to be appointed to act upon. Judg
Harden's plan is as follows:
o the Folders of Unpro ected Securities of
the (. entral Railroad: x hi' Merest* of the im
se ured creditors of the Central Kail onff and
Banking Company of tieor.ia arc In serious

stockholders of the Centra, Augusta and a

common interest in pre .eming tho sncriine
of tho property by the enforced -ale n er an
order of court. It is believed that such
sale ian e postponed until tho various
jun or se> urliies have uti oppor
tunity of protecting themselves pro. tiled
they act promptly. It is suggested
that each class of junior security h biers
call a meeting of su, h c ass to e idiivencM a
as early a day as pus 1 le and at such meet
ing appoint u protective co ..mittee of. snv.

ch le of mt.tiiul con ession for mutual pro
tection, it would seem likoh hat a propor

could i e agreed on. at least, approximately,
so that there would ie harmony
as to any course to te pur ued for
the general bene- tof ail Questions o. prior
ities and actual ml is -ould be adj sled after
the property is saved but save their prop
erty nrst. and be united in that point. A com
mittee representing a ma ority of he junior
se. urities of nil classes would have very r at
influen.o with uny one who uestred to pie
pare apian oi reorganization an t would re
ieive ver. ureat > o.isideration from the court:
because, m tnifesUy. those who are the hold
ers of tno protected securities and who
are beyond the possbility of loss
whether the system Le wen ur lu.ly
managed, are not the ones w ho should control
tne management: but those unprotect'd
Junior security holders wh > will lose all if
the system t.e not managed wltn extraordi
nary at.ility and skill should have such o;i
--t.ol and if they ian agree to act os a unit
the,- will most assuredly get it. and tho court
will do nothing, and a low nothing to r be
done to needlessly Injure their intert sts.
Without discussing the past condition of
the system or the causes which leu to it, the
entire system is now tncontrovertii lv ma
very much letter condition, physi ally and
financially, than It was a year age: the svs’em
seems to be ouce more on m upward' trend
toward prosperity, under gcod manage
ment, ihe lotr.er a sale is postponed, the bet
ter it will be for the unprotected interests.
The holders or the tripartite bonds are
surely not loreclosing merely to get tueir
money. Their debt is as a solutely sale as
any dent can be. and is diawing ?per cent, on
loth the bonds and the unpaid coupons.
T hose moving in the foreclosure do not need
the money. Then why do they fo.e lose?
Quite possibly to buy In the property ai half,
or less than half, its real value, at a forced sac,
reorganize, and make a profit in comparison
with which 7 peycentum becomes insignifi
cant. 'i his would utterly destroy the unpro
tected securities, and it is this which we have
to fear.
i his can be avoided In either of two ways:
the court may, upon proper presentation of
the case, still further postpone the sale, thus
giving the 6vstem a chunce to stbl further re
cuperate, thereby benefiting Junior securities
without Injuring the others; or the court
mieht authorize the issue oDre elver's ceribl
cates, hearing 5 per cent. Interest, and with
their proceeds the, protected deuts could bo
paid In full, at a saving to the' sj stem of b* per
cent, per annum on the whole protected dent.
he system thus freed frocn the pressme now
so injuriously affecting it. and from so .arge a
prouorlion of its fixed charges, would still
further improve in value, and be in a much
more favorable condition to invite successful
reorganization.
What is herein contained is merely sut
gestion. Any class of junior security holders
ma ado; tit or not. if any better course iun
ue indicated, the suggesters of this circular
will le among the fi st to adopt it. Their
object Is to stop the Icnc continied inactivity
of the unprotected creditors, which, if con
tiaued, will be fatal; and to induce prompt
and harmonious action in a common cause
action on the line herein suggested or other
wise, as the meetings may preier.
The signers of this circular being holders of
the 6 per cent certificates of indebtedness,
while addressing this circular to whom it
may concern, are acting only as such liiilders.
and Inclose proxies which it is hoped will le
signed and sent to someone In whose judg
ment the signer has full confidence, and who
will report the same to either of the under
signed. It is hoped that all who agree in tho
main idea of harmony of action, with
out reference to the suggested details,
will promptly sign the troxics, whether
they will or will not attend any
meeting the signers pre ence being a can

method suggested, or the general idea to

ARRESTED WITH BAD MONEY.
Jonas Battle in Jail for Trying to Pass
a Counterfeit Bill.
Jonas Battle, colored, was arrested
near the market last night, charged with
attempting to pass a counterfeit 82 bill in
Marks’ barroom.
The counterfeit is very ingenious, being
upon good paper, and in general appear
ance closely resembles an ordinary $2
bill. It was torn and dirty, as if it had
been used for a long time. Upon a close
examination the bill was found to pretend
to be an issue of the Brunswick and
Albany Bank of New Orleans.
Battle claimed to have received the
bill in change, and was evidently the
dupe of somo white man.

Postmastei Haines Ready to Take
Charge of the Office
Mr. George L. liaincs arrived in the
city yesterday morning from Washington,
where be went to file his l oud as post
master. Mr. Haines’ bond was • romptly
a cepted, and he returned to Savannah
with his commission in his jockot.
Mr. Haines' inten.ion is to take charge
of the i o.ito ike ■ ay l. He callt'd at tho
o : ce yesterday afternoon to con er with
Fas .mas ter i o.vle relative to receiving
the control of tho off.ee. Yesterday be
ing a legal holiday, however, Mr. Doyle
was out of the i ity.
Mr. Haines told a Morning News re
porter that he dill not desire to take pos
si ss,on of the office until May 1, so us to
allow Mr. Doyle to close up his accounts
for the momh. He will
call upon Mr. Doyle to-day to
inform him of this fact. Should Mr.
Iffoylo decline to recognize his authority,
Mr. Haines’ coarse will be to telegraph
Washington tor an inspector to ioxne
down and dispossess Mr. Doyle. It is not
likely tha: an thing of the kind will bo
nect ssary, howe. er.
A Morning News reporter Had a talk
with Mr. Doyle yesterday. Mr. Doyle
stud tout he is prepared to turn tho office
o er to Mr. Haines. The only thing he
docs not under* and, he said, is why ho
had not received official notice of some
kind of the change.
“All I know about the matter is from
the newspapers," he said, "i hate not
been notified in any way that a change
has been made. I would like lo under
stand the grounds for the change,
whether on account of tho
recent postofflee invesigations or
whether it is for other causes.
Of course, of Mr. Haines has received
his commission nd has been sworn in as
postmaster, my salary stops, aud it is not
worth while for me to attempt to hold on
to tho office. Still, I think it reasonable
that I should be notified of tho change
and the reasons for iny dismissal, if any.”
[ Mr. Haines said that ho is not yet
ready to make any announcements as to
his appointments. It is understood, how
ever, that lie will request Mr. D. A. H ar
ing to remain as assistant postmaster for
the present. He will make all his ap
pointments, he said, with a view to tho
test possible conduct of the business of
the office.

PfcTcRMAN’S DISCOVERY.
As it is a well known fact that tbero never
was an article before known which would per
fectly exterminate Bed Bugs, only tempora
rily allay their progress, which gives the
hous keeper endless labor in looking after
and applying temporary substances In view
of above fact, I have devoted years' ex
perimenting to produce an article which will
permanently destroy these pests, thereby be
