spite of all tho precautions adopted, until
a few feet of loose earth, cracked and

The raid on shoddy butter in the Ohio
Legislature has taken an amusing feature.
By a bill Just introduced it Is proposed to
make any landlord or boarding-house
keeper liable to a flue of $10 and ten
days’ imprisonment who does not inform
JiU guests of tho composition of the but
ter he sets before them. This is rather
hard on the hotel and boarding-house
keepers, and the question is, how are they
to know what the butter is mane of?

Secretary Sherman in his speech
Columbus, Ohio, Wednesday evening,
said tlie South was about to be developed
in wealth and population; that we have
been surprised by the returns of the cen
sus from the South, but that new sur
prises may be expected, and that he ex
pected ere long to see a happy South, ad
ding to the wealth, population and energy
of the country, and contributing all the
great staples that add to our wealth and
ptipulatton. Mr. Sherman rdso paid
warm tribute to his competitor, Senator
Thurman.
Has Mr. Garfield ever reflected, says
the Nashville American, that lie has an
opportunity to be the first President of
ths whole peoplo since 1800? Mr. Lin
coln had no chance to be, the lleputdicans
wouldn’t let Mr. Johnson be, Grant didn’t
want to-be, Hayes tried to be and failed
tbrnngh internal weakness. It is Mr.
Garfield’s opportunity. The theory is,
that a party elects, but the President cho
sen by fhe party belongs to all. Will Mr.
Garlield restore the old coincidence of
theory and practice?

A Body Servant op Mr. Stephens
Dead.—The Washington Post says Hon
A. H. Stephens received a telegram yester
day, while he was at the capitol announ
cing that his old servant, Harry Stephens,
died at “Liberty Hall,” in Crawfordville,
Georgia yesterday morning of pneumonia.
Harry has been the majordomo of Liber
ty Hall for thirty years. Mr. Stephens
bought him in 1351 and placed him in
chaige of all liis affairs at home. airy
was Mr. Stephens’ body servant during all
that time until about five years ago, when
his present body servant, Aleck Kent,
was secured In that capacity. Harry was
well known by all habitues of Washing
ton, before and s!noe the war, who knew
Mr. Stephens. The death of Harry has
caused great grief to Mr. Stephens and be
deplores Ills death very much. The de
ceased was worth hbaitt $20,000 in his
own right.
The Snow in London.—The regular
London telegram in the World of Sunday
says in Aall Mall and Piccadilly there are
embaukments of snow five feet high; in
the country districts the roads are actually
on a level with the hedges, while there
are drifts fully fifteen feet deep in many
places. The Thames above the bridges Is
frozen over and thousands of skaters are
enjoying themselves upon its fey surface,
in the poorer parts of London scarcely
auy drinking water is procurable.
Trade Is entirely suspended except in
the necessaries of life. Outside of Lon-*
<lon letters can only be delivered by foot'
messengers, all wheeled traffic belugjin-
posslblc. The railroads are only kept
open with thegreatest difficulty; the other
business of the country is carried on by
engine tender. • Thu postal 'car and two
baggage cars, with their conteuU, were
burned. Postal clerks Redinger, Seybolt,
Ingram and Fox, and messenger Brewer,
of the United States Express Company,
were burned to death In the cars and
their remains, when recovered,, wore
nearly unrecognizable. Two coaches
were also destroyed by fire, but the pas
sengers all escaped, only a few receiving
slight Injuries. Baggage master l’erry es
caped from his car. with his left arm dis
located. .
The following IS another account of tlie
accident on the Erie railroad at Elmira,
New York: The Atlantic express left El-
miralast night at. It o’clock for New York.
The train consisted of one postal car, one
express ear, two baggage cir*, and nine
passenger coaches—most of the- latter
were-Pullman sleepers. When twcaiy-
fire mi.es cast of Elmira, near a viiiago in
the vicinity of Tioga Centre, one of the
driving wheel axles of the locomotive
broke close up to the wheel and the en
tire train was thrown off the track. The
train was going at the rate of thirty-live
miles an hour. The accident occurred on
a level where there was no cm
bankment. The engine kept its
upright position, and engineer DelVitt ap
plied the air-brakes as soon as lie felt the
shock. The cars were stopped very quick
ly, aud the forward ones turned over aud
over two or three times, some going on
one side of the track and some oil the-
otiicr. The engineer and fireman escaped
uuburt. The postal car, containing four
clerks, almost instantly took fire and
burned with great rapidity. The oil
lamps used probably exploded, and added
fuel to tho lire from the stoves. Every
man in this car, four in all, was roasted
to a crisp. Henry C. Brewer, messenger,
was in the express car. Efforts were at
once made to relieve him by breaking a
hole in the side door. He managed to
get liis head through this hole, but the
doomed man’s legs ‘Were fastened inside
by piled express matter. The train men
made every effort to pull him out, but the
flames drove them away aud he per
ished.
The Kilboume Case.
Washington, January 24.—The Su
preme Court of tho United States an
nounced its dedsiou to-day in the case of
Ilallct Kilbourne, plaintiff in error, against
John O. Thompson et ah, brought here
by appeal from the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia. This was an action
ol trespass for assault and imprisonment.
In January, 1876, Kilboume, the plaintiff
in error, was summoned before a commit
tee of the House Representatives, to
answer certain interrogatories with regard
to the so-called “real estate pool” of the
District, in which the firm of J. Cooke &
Go., who were then largely indebted to
the United States, were said to he inter
ested.
Mr. Kilboume refused to answer the
questions put to him by the House com
mittee, and to produce the papers am-
recurds which were demanded. By a reso
lution of tlie House, Kilbourne was there
upon declared in contempt aud given into
the custody of the sergeant-at-arms to be
kept in confinement until he should ex
press his willingness to answer questions,
aud produce the records required. Upon a
warrant issued by the Speaker of the
House, Kilboume was conveyed by the
sergeant-at-arms to the common jail of tlie
District of Columbia and detained there
for the period of forty-live days, at tne ex-
pirationof which time 1m was released on
a writ of habocs corpus.
Killiourne thereupon brought this suit
to recover damages for assault and im
prisonment. Tim defendants, who were
the-Speaker of the House,sergeaut-at-anus,
and special -House commute.-, set up va
rious spesial pleas ill defense, to which
plaintiff demurred. Tiie Supreme Court
of the District overruled his demurrer, and
gave judgment for defendants- This
court is unanimously of the opinion that
the demurrer sh juld have becu sustained.
The Judgment of the court below is there
fore -reversed, aud the cause remanded
for further proceedings. The judgment
of the court in this case was simply an
nounced, witii a statement that no writ
ten opinion had yet been prepared, but
that one would be tiled during the court’s
February recess.
The Telegraph Combination.
New York, January 20.—Arguments
In the suit of Rufus Hatch against the
Western Union ami other telegraph com
panies, to prevent their consolidation-were
-resumed tins afternoon. Gen. S.vayue
continued his argument. He said the
whole proposition of the defendants was
that their action was consistent with the
law and consistent with llm specific stat
ute expressly directing this act. There
was positively no showing that a monop
oly would be established by this agree
ment. The plaintiffs asked on this sole
argument to deelare this act illegal. If
there was proof shown to the court that a.

clples of law were plain aud preruujptory.
It was suggested by -counsel for the
other side that the agreement did uot con
form to tlie law, because it appeared from
tbe agreement that a pert or tlio assets to
be transferred were the leases or certain
Unqs. Now the statute says that a tele
graph company cau sell any of its .prop
erty, franchises or privileges under tlie
laws of this Stale, ami cau also purchase
tlie property, franchises or privileges of
any other telegraph company.
Mr. Wheeler, couusei fur the Atlantic
aud Pacific Telegraph C’ompauy, followed
with his argument. He said it was shown
that the holders of 77,099 oat of the 100,-
009 shares of his company were in favor of
tho consolidation, and further, that the
creditors to $5,000,000 had consented to
thejueasure.

■ Mr. Cox, of New York, chairman of tbe
committee-on tlie census, reported hack
tlie hill for the appnriiunmenl of repre--
scutalives iu Congress among the eeveral
States. Mr.Sher-vin, of Illinois, presented
a minority report. Both reports were Ur
du rod printed aud recommitted.
Mr. Cox stated that the majority hill
provided for 311 members, while the mill-
-ority amendment provided for 318 mem
bers. He would offer liis hill providing for
301 members as a substitute, and would
call up the bill lor consideration to-mor
row morning.
Tlie House then, at 2 o’clock, went into
committee of the whole (Mr. Carlisle, of
Kentucky, iu-thc chair) on the post-office
appropriation bill. Mr. Blackburn, of
Kentucky, briefly explained its provisions.
The total amount recommended was $40,-
733,432, or $1,715,500 less than the esti
mates. The estimated postal revenue fori
1862 was $38jM5,174, aud he cougralulat-!
ed tbe country that the lime had arrived!
when the appreciation, for the support of
the postal service was less than $2,090,000
in excess of tlie revenue received for that 1
service. The bill was then read by sec-i
tions for amendment. Two amendments
were offered and rejected.
Mr. Camion then moved to increase the
Appropriation for .compensation to pest-
jnasters by $50,800. Adopted. Before
passing lo the paragraph making appro
priations for iulaud mail transportation,
the committee rose.

the regular order, Mr. Logan asked unan
imous consent to take up tue bill to retire
General Giant. Mr. Vest oljjcbed. Mr.
Legzii then moved to lay aside xll prior
orders to take up the bill.
Mr. Bayard suggested tlie propriety of
deferring the .consideration of the propo
sition, in view of the probability ctfoearly
action on general measures losupply what
he regarded as a deficiency, by providing
pensions for onr ex-Presidents. Ha thought
that provision for the single individual
named could be amply covered in the gen
eral law.
Mr. Logan said it was true tho proposi
tion was an exceptional one, and proceed
ed to show why tbe hill should pass. *
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, said he was not
prepared to vote, on the proposition to-day,
and would therefore vote against Mr. Lo
gan’s motion; hut his inclination was to
vote for Oi * Dili, if h* could do so consis
tent, with his sense of duty to t he public. Ho
VduIU not do »o,‘ however, for the reason
