The Germans, iu their business-like

German mechanics, tradesmen aud farm

They are already provided with the requi
site capital. They propose to buy up a
tract of land in some of the Southern
States, and when that is accomplished
they will have their agents in Germany to
provide the requisite facilities, and to
give all ncccssgry information to families
desiring to occupy them. They will be
fortuuate if Bismarck does not interfere

An appeal to tho Supreme Court of the
United States lies from Judge Woods’ de
cision, but tlio matter may bo regarded as
virtually settled, and the constitutionality
of the railway commission law as finally
sustained. . .
While this is the case, however, tho
principle of justice underlying tbe law re
mains unimpaired. We have always
maintained that it is neither just, right
nor equitable that the Legislature should
place three disinterested citizens in abso
lute and despotic control over the man
agement of vast and very important In
terests, m which millions of dollars ot
private capital are invested—and in
vested, too, upon inducements held out to
the investors by the State. That rail

This case was a very important one.
The decision is tantamount to an acknowl
edgment, that the Legislature has power
to delegate authority to the commissioners
to make tariffs. The ground of complaint
was, that the Legislature might have pow
er to make thrifts, but could not delegate
authority to any one else to do so.
Atlanta Constitution.
With respect to the claim tliat the Leg
islature has no right under tho constitu
tion to dclegato its power to fix rates and
prevent unjust dLcrimination to a board
of commission, the decision of Judge
Woods.is clear and explicit, and Ids rev
soniug unanswerable. Tbe :Legislature
has precisely fhe samo right to delegate

tliat could with difficulty be put down.
Notblug of the kind will be attempted:
and perhaps nothing of the kind will
ever be attempted; but this Is a
very good time to consider tbe
taste and sense of sncli displays. In a
republic founded on the consent of tlio
governed, any considerable display of
force—anything stronger than tho Marine
band —is certainly out of place and de
cidedly un-American. Geueral Garfield’s
own common sense should have led him
to exert his influence to prevent a mili
tary display on the 4th of March. This Is
a time of profound peace, and tho repub
lic has had a surfeit of everything that
pertains to war. It wants no clanking of
legions in sight when the people’s choice
stops forward to take tho oath of office and
address the people. It is too late to stop
the coining display, but it is a very good
time to build up a public sentiment tliat
will prevent its repetition. Senator Hoar
is on the right line,and we hope the Demo
cratic Senators will uphold him in the
sensible movement that lie has inatigura
ted. _
The Traffic in Farm Produce.
In pursuance of a request published and
signed “Many Citizens,” tbo people of
Dooly county, particularly those of the sev
enth, ninth, tenth and fourteenth districts,
assembled at Lewis’ Store in the church
outlie 8th Instant. On motion of J. T.
Collier, tho Hon. Hiram Williams was
called to act as chairman. On motion of
D. M. Hughes, H. H. Harman was re
quested to act as secretary.
The chairman, iu a few forcible, practi
cal, well-timed and very pointed remarks,
explained the object of the meeting to be
to take such action, in a peaceful manner,
as to prevent further traffic in seed cotton
and other farm products whicii lias been
carried on iu this part of tlio country to a
very unlawful aud injurious extent.to
some of tbe farmers.
On motion ofS. W. Coney, a commit
tee of five was appointed by tins chair to
prepare business for tho meeting. The
following committee was appointed: J.
T. Collier, F. K. Lewis, Isaiah Williams,
James Ray, James S. Perry.
On motion of C. A. Williams, all pre
sent who intended to take part In the
proceedings of the meeting were request
ed to enroll their names. The motion
was carried. .
Amotiouthat tho colored people pres
ent be permitted to efiroll their names
carried.
The following citizens enrolled their
names: Hiram Williams. t>. M. Hr-’—
C. A. Williams, J. I. Thurman, I

H. L. Calhoun, J. C. Merecr, J. J. Wheel-
Colored citizens—Andrew Jackson, Mo
ses McBride, Jerry Bailey, Henry Laue,
Robert Coney.
The committee made the following re-
port:
Whereas, A portion of the planting in
terest of Dooly county has suffered great
loss by the stealing of cotton from their
fields, and the breaking open of their gin
houses, and the same bought or in some
other way received by certain parties; and
Whereas, We believe and have reason
to know that a continuance of such rob
bery arid traffic will demoralize the section
jn which such lawlessness is perpetrated,
anil reduce to bankruptcy those who are
the unfortunate victims of such robbery,
therefore bo It
Resolced (1), That we, the citizens of
Dooly county in body assembled, believe
it is tbe duty of cvery good citizen to use
his bat efforts to advance the interest of
his section socially, financially and reli
giously.
Resoleed (2), Tliat we do most emphat
ically deny the right of any citizen to use
any efforts and inducements bearing the
taiut and suspicion of dishonesty damag
ing to his neighbor’s interest, though con
ducive to his (tho offender’s) temporaiy
wealth.
Resolved (3), That we believe unless
tempted to evil and with the promise of
protection in wrong doing, the negro is
easily managed, and is merely a factor in
tbe hands of evil and designing white
men.
Resolved (4), That we believe the bay
ing of farm produce from the' sborer un
less said produce in a merc'i table order
for shipment, is a fern .tion offered
by the buyer to the seller or dishonesty,
and we denounce the p dice and brand
those who at any tim * ,1 the future deal
thus as unworthy am' ishonest.
Resolved (5), Tha. wo demand of the
parties who in the past have been the ben
eficiaries under the seed cotton traffic, and
every one who at any time in the future
may engage in such traffis, a discontin
uance of the same, unlots such produce is
accompanied by a certificate from the em
ployer to tbe effect that said produce is
honestly obtained.
Resolved (6), That we desire harmony
and good will, honesty, prosperity, law
and order to reign throughout our entire
section; but we here assert boldly and
openly, that we will protect our rights in
the future at every risk and at every haz
ard.
Mr. Hughes supported the report of tho
committee iu a speech replete with elo
quence and logic. On motion of S. W.
Coney, the resolutions were taken up
seriatim. Tbe first, second and third res
olutions were unanimously adopted. Mr.
Coney objected to tbe wording of the
fourth resolution. Mr. F. K. Lewis, iu
tbe chair, Mr. Williams moved that the
resolution be amended to read “tliat such
produce be bought only when ac
companied by a certificate of employer.”
The fourth resolution passed without
amendment. A motion to reconsider was
carried. Tha fourth resolution was re
scinded and tbe filth resolution adopted
unanimously.
A motion that the proceedings be pub
lished by request in the Hawkinsviile
Dispatch, Telegraph and Messenoer,
Sumter Republican, Americus Recorder
and Montezuma Weekly was unanimously
adopted.
A motion that the citizens of this sec
tion meet again on the second Tuesday in
July'next, at the same place, at 10 o’clock
copy of the resolutions to each district,
with the names enrolled, so that all c<ti-
zens who desire to do so can add their
nrmes to the same. The chair asked per
mission to read a letter from U. S. Sena
tor, Joseph E. Brown, in regard to clean
ing out Flint river, which was granted.

Tbe New York correspondent of tbe
Providence Press incidentally mentions
the house of Mr. Dickerson, at No. 64
East Thirty-fourth street, as a perfect
marvel. He says: “When DoLesseps was
here he requested to bo taken to tbo finest
house In New York, and he was intro
duced to Mr.’Dickersou, who showed him
over the various floors. Demg probably
the ablest patent lawyer in tho city, Mr.
Dickerson, when he built his house a few
years ago, had a rare chance to put some
of his theories into practice. Electric
wirc3 hidden in the walls run every
where. The heating arrangements are per
fect, the air in the house being soft and
mild. Beneath the main registers in
the basement are huge open tanks of water
over which the hot air [on its way to the
rooms passes, taking up tho moisture and
making the temperature unlike that in any
other house in New York. Very sensitive
electrical instruments in the upper stories
regulate automatically the supply of
warmth from below. A passenger ele
vator is so arranged that it can be work
ed by the person who wishes to ascend
at descend, without any possibility of ac
cident. The elegance and beauty of the
decorations, the frescoing Brid furnlshjcg
of the rooms, I will not attempt to de
scribe. I remember, however, spending a
delightful evening with Dickerson, going
through tbe rooms, and in commenting on
their comfort and tastefulness. A differ
ent design is carried out in each room,
The dining room, I remember, is full of
Japanese decorations. The ceiling if
frescoed in Japanese designs, over the arch'
way of the window, which is deep and
wide, is a heavy piece ol Japanese carving
that Mr. Dickerson purchased at the Cen
tennial exhibition; screens and inlaid
floor and mgs complete the picture of one
room. Another room is finished in ebony;
another, in oak, and so on. These rooms
so radically different from each other, are
brought into harmony by the hall into
which they open, so that in going from one
room to another the change is not abrupt,
lint gradual.

What or tho Boy found In Ontario ?
Fresh advices were received from Bis
marck, Elgin county, Ontario, yester
day, concerning the boy who has sojourn
ed among the Tuscarora Indians iu that
section for a long time, and who is now
believed by some to be the stolen Charlie
Ross. It will be remembered tbat tbe
former correspondent of Christian K. Boss
was Peter D. McCallum, a farmer, and
that he said the boy was iu the hands of a
German, who wanted to extort money for
surrendering him, and that there was
dangerof the boy being gUM away if
active measures were not taken to prevent
it. Tbe present communication is signed
by J. C. Bchieikaup, a magistrate of Elgin
county, who writes in behalf of a Ger
man farmer named John Bonn, under
whose protection the boy Is, and he re
torts upon McCallum with precisely simi
lar accusations of attempted extortion,
lie says that Bonn and his
wife are very poor, but are
siucereiy attached to the boy; that if the
turns out to be Charlie Ross they will
gladly return him to liis parents, other
wise he will always have a home with
them, as they are themselves childless.
McCallum aud “another well-known char
acter,” ho says, have been using ct-siy
possible means to get the boy into their
possession. They at one time offered
Bonn ten dollars for him, and again re
sorted to threats, but every effort was rc-
sisted. Mr. Selileikaup further says that
it is in contemplation to have a photo
graph of the supposed Charlie taken and
forwarded to Mr. Ross, but it has been
impossible to do this yet on account of the
sickness of Mrs. Bonn. The nearest pho
tographic gallery to their homo Is in St.
Thomas, some forty miles off, and until
site recovers the boy cannot be taken
Ihere. Mr. Schleikaup also suggests that
Mr. Ross forward to him photographs of
members of bis family, so that persons on
tin? spot might trace the resemblance, if
any existed, between the boy and the rest
of the family. Ho urges that n* more
communication be had with McCallum.
In this letter is enclosed a clipping from
the St. Thomas Times, of February 1, em-
bodying the results of a visit of a reporter
to tbe present home of the boy. When
he was first seen he wore a “vacant and
insipid” look, which, however, cleared
away as his mind was directed to his ear
ly home. He said he had lived in a large
ci:y, in a nice home, and that a woman
named Betsy used to take care of him.
Ho remembers being stolen away from
his home pretty distinctly. He was play
ing in tho streets when two men drove up
in a buggy. One of them jampedoutand
caught a bird by throwing a large straw
liat over it. This he gave to the boy, and
shortly after took him into the buggy and
they drove away. From this point the
boy’s memory is almost blank until he
fouud himself among the Indians. How
ever, he recalls that he was kindly treat
ed, and traveled a great distance by
rail, crossing a great bridge
being particularly prominent in bis
mind, lie says he remembers wearing
a pinafore and dress before he was stolen.
Among the Indians he was shockingly
treated. He was ill-fed and. buffeted
around 011 all hands. At times he was
stripped of his clothing and beaten with
a whip. Tills usage continned after he
had been taken from the Tusearoras by a
squaw, and at last he tired of it and ran
away. His next shelter was a farmer’s
house, but lie found the change was not
for the belter, aud he wandered from place
to place uutil be reached his present home.
Ho was called Jim by the Indians, but be
is now known by the name of Charlie,
though how he came by it does not ap
pear. The reporter wbo obtained tbeee
facts says the boy’s appearance entirely
upsets any theory of his being Mr. Boas’
lost boy. He describes him of tall and
gawky, lour feet eleven Inches sod quite
fourteen years old. He has light flaxen
hair, “which might once hare beau ear
ly,” and his eyes are dark brown nr haaal
iu hue. . ’
Mr. Ross takes the same view ns the
writer'01 this article. He thinks the Itbe-
lih > ..1 i-. very small that this boy is bis,
c hut he will leave nc* stone unturned to
arrive at the truth. He is not prepend
just at present to forward pictures of-bis
family to Canada, but will write to Mr.
Schleikaup to hasten ths sending of tbe
boy's photograph and to guarantee all ex
penses involved in getting It taken. When
lie receives this, which will not be for tea
or twelve days, he thinks, be will bs
guided in bis future
stances may tend.
Indecent Haste to Set Rich.
There can be 110 question that the peo
ple of this conntry, from the smallest vil
lage in Georgia to the great metropolis of
New York, are bent ou rapid accumula
tions and making great haste to get rich.
Just aud honorable efforts to better one’s
condition in life is praiseworthy and com
mendable, but indecent baste and ques
tionable methods are not to be'applauded.
To make fortunes iu a day or year, is tbo
ambition ol many, who are not content
with a slow butsure competence. Hence
tbe many underground speculations, the
trading in stocks and tbe sudden combi
nations of telegraphic systems, where a
lew increase their millions, and many are
depleted in their purses. In other depart
ments of life, in banks aud merchandise,
we frequently hear of some trusted cashier
or bookkeeper giving way to avarice and

other words robbing his employers
to get rich. The worship of mammon is
supplanting all the holier and ennobling
feelings of heart and mind. That the love
of gain should make one oblivious of tbo
good opinion of his friends and associates,
and willing to wreck hopes and happi

is surprising. What is money compared
to a clean conscience and a spotless char
acter? It is a matter ot deep regret that
tbe joints of the times are so loose that

love of gain should master, and triumph
over love of honor, truth and fair reputa

A Conscientious Gibl’s Sacrifice
—The following story is told of a two-
story brick house in the suburbs of Bos
ton, whose doors and windows are nailed
up, and which has never been occupied:
Nearly thirty years ago a youngman built
it for his bride, intending to mortgage it
and pay for It gradually, as his worldly
goods increased, te all of which she
agreed. When the wedding day was ap
pointed, the trousseau ready,and the house
finished, he took the lady out from Boston
to inspect it. After going over the house
he presented her with a deed of it for a
wedding gift. Knowing his circumstances
she was astonished tbat he bad actually
paid for it. He explained that, buying a
ticket in a lottery, he bad drawn the first
prize, which just covered the cost of the
house. The Puritan maiden protested she
would not take a home obtained by gam
bling, and refused the deed. His argu
ments were of no avail; she remained ob
durate. When they left the house he
locked the door and threw tbe key into
the brook near by. Tha next day bo
boarded up the windows, and only the.
spiders and mice have ever occupied it.
The man never married; he became rich,
but is a wanderer on the face of the earth.

Generally the plowing is behind, and as

ried by overdriving, nor usually expedited
by employing‘extra stock, advantage
should be taken of every day, or even half
day, to keep the plows going. “Take care
of the minutes aud tho hours will take
caro of themselves”—is a golden maxim
on the farm, especially after such weather
as we have had lor six weeks and more.
February is the shortest but au impor
tant month on the farm. It is the last
month in which winter work of any kind
can be done to advantage; and in a large
portion of the South it is the first planting
month—really the beginning of spring.

sowing OATS.
While we are no advocate of spring oats
as a matter '(choice, yet on the principle
that it 1b “better late than never,” we ad
vise that good or well fertilized land be
sown in tbe genuine rust-proof during
this month. We have often endeavored
to impress the importance of good seed,
g'lod or well fertilized land, aud careful
preparation and sowing. The practice of
throwing the seed upon the rough and un
plowed surface and turning them and ma
nure in at one hurried and Imperfect
plowing, though sometimes resulting in
good yields, ought to be discontinued. If
there is any propriety or profit in prepar
ing land thoroughly and putting iu the
seed carefully for a crop of corn, wheat,
or cotton, it will pay just as well on oats
or any crop cultivated
The ground should bo well plowed be
fore seed and fertilizer are applied, and
these should be covered by cross-plowing
or harrowing or both, and even repeated
harrowings will often pay.
In view of the exceedingly wet winter
so far experienced, we may reasonably
fear a dry spring, or a dry summer, or
both. If a dry spring, thorough prepara-
tlou of the soil and good manuring will go
far towards securing a good yield of oafs
in spite of drouth in May.
SUOAB CANE AND IRISH POTATOES.
The most successful gardeners near our
large cities owe their success largely to
the practice of following one crop with
another in quick succession, the ground
being generally occupied with two crops
at the same time, the one maturing and
the other in the first stages of growth.
High farming in essential details is very
much like gardening ou a large scale; and
it will be found that many of tbe maxims
and principles tliat guide the gardener to
success anu profit are applicable also to
tbe farm proper.
We conceived the idea several years
ago, tbat sugar cane and Irish potatoes
might be most profitably grown ou tbe
same ground. The two are usually plants
ed at about tbe same time—say 14th of
February, and both requiro high manur
ing or rich soil to produce profitably. An
early variety of potatoes will mature by
tliemiddlo of May in tbe latitude orsouth
of Macon, Columbus and Augusta, (which
is about the Hue of the northern limit of
profitable sugar cane culture). But at that
time the sugar caue will not have more
than started, and if tbe rows are of the
usual width of six feet, and a row of Irish
potatoos between, tbe latter would hardly
be afi'ecled by the proximity of the former,
except in a very dry season, and will not
themselves injure the cane at all.
We tried the plan in 1874, planting a
piece of good cowpenned fresh land. The
ground was well broken and laid off in
three feet rows. Cane and potatoes were
then planted in alternate rows, cadi being
well manured with compost applied iu the
drill. , The stand of each was good aud
the spring seasons were average. Theyield
of potatoes was very fine, but the summer
and fail seasons did not suit the cane and
tho yield of it was inferior. We could see
no interference of one crop with the other.
The theory of the close succession i3 this :
The caue is a very heavy feeder but of
comparatively slow growth and develop
ment, so that the potatoes have abundant
time and space in which to mature, and
the surplus manure left by the latter will
be appropriated by the cane during the
middle aud latter portion of its growth.
We left the active management of the
farm to others and have had no opportun
ity to test tbe plan fully.—Christian Index

Pigs, a Statesman and a. Jaguar.
Treed by pigs is not at ail the position in
which we should expect to find a colonial
secretary, at least, not often. But when
Mr. Fowler, colonial secretary of the Hon
duras, was recently exploring tbe in
terior of the colony, he was overtaken by
a drove of peccaries, and bad only time to
take a snap shot at the first of them and
scramble up a tree, dropping big rifle la
tbo performance, before tbe whole pack
was around his perch, gnashlug their
teeth at him, grunting and sharpening
their tusks against his tree. Now the
peccary is not only ferocious but patient,
and rather than let an object of its anger
escape will wait about for days, so that
the Secretary had before him only two
courses, either to remain where he was
until he dropped down among the swine
from sheer exhaustion and hunger, or else
to commit suicide at once by coming
down to be eaten there and then.
While be was in this dilemma,
however, what should come along—and
looking out for supper, too—but a jaguar.
Never was beast of prey so opportune, for
tbe jaguar has a particular fondness for
wild pork, and the peccaries know it, for
no roouer did they see tho great ruddy
head thrust out through the hushes than
they bolted bolter-skelter, forgetting, in
their desire to save their own bacon, the
meal they were leaving np the tree. The
jaguar was off after the swine with ad-
mirable promptitude, and the secretary,
fiudmg the coast clear, came down, reflec
ting, as he walked toward the camp, npou

Washington, D. C., February 10.—
In the Senate, pursuant to a resolution
offered by Mr. Pendleton and adopted,
Messrs. Pendleton, Anthony and Bay
ard were constituted a committee to make
necessary arrangements for the ina”gyra
tion of the President. Tho remainder of
the morning hour was cycupied in dis
cussing and passing a number of private
pension bills which had been favorably
reported.
At 2:25 o’clock the postal appropriation
bill was proceeded with. Mr. Wallace,
on behalf of the Committee on appropria
tions, explained the changes in the bill
made by tbo committee. The aggregate
was $42,475,032, widen was $1,328,500
less than tbe estimates, and $2,054,012 in
excess of the bill for the last fiscal year.
The postal revenue for the coming year
(1882) was $38,845,000, the total et tho
bill exceeding this by $2,302,257. At tbe
conclusion of Mr. Wallace’s explanation,
the Senate, in com uittee of the whole,
agreed to all the Senate committee’s
amendments with one trifling exception.
Mr. Pugh moved the amendment re
ported from tho committee on post-offices,
appropriating $1,000,000 to establish lines
of American iron steamers. He spoke at
of the amendment,
some length in support
as also did Mr. Garland. The point of
order was raised that tit. .nnendment was
in violation of the rule which prohibits
general legislation in appropriation bills.
Alter a long discussion, tbe Senate, with
out deciding the point of order, adjourned.
In tho House, the remainder of tiie hour
was consumed in a noisy discussion of the
point of order as to the scope of the new
rules, but no decision was arrived at. Tho
House then, after adopting a resolution
calling for Information with regard to the
Washington Gas Light Company, went
into committee of the wbole on the river
and harbor bill.
Mr. Reagan took the floor and spoke at
length in explanation and snpport of the
bill.
Mr. Cox,of New York, replied in opposi
tion to tbo bill, and a somewhat acrimoni
ous dispute took place betveen Messrs.
Reagan and Cox as to their respective re
cord upon similar legislation, aud as to
their personal motives In connection
therewith.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, while professing
himself “a broad gauge,’’internal improve
ment man, criticised many items contain
ed in the bill, particularly contrasting the
large items for unimportant poiuts ir
Texas witli the comparatively small item
for Gaircston harbor.
Mr. Reagan defended the bill against
tbe charges of unjust discrimination or
partiality, particularly in relation to Tex
as items. Speeches in opposition to tiie
bill were made by Messrs. Chittenden and
Page (of California), and iu support of it
by Messrs. Townsend (of Ohio), Hum
phrey (of Wisconsin), Cannon (of Illi
nois), Henderson (of Illinois) and others.
Mr. Reagan then moved that the com
mittee rise and report the bill to the
House.
Mr. Cox ra’sedtho polntof order that
the bill should be read for amendments.
The point of order was sustained. Mr.
Reagan appealed from the decision of the
Chair. The House sustained the Speaker
by 152 to CO. After some further discus
sion, the House, without action on the
bill, adjourned.
Washington, February 11.—Iu the
Senate, a number of bills and joint resolu
tions were Introduced and referred,
among them tbe following:
By Mr. Beck, tor the preservation of tbe
records of the United States District Court
at Frank tort, Kentucky.
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution Instruct
ing the judiciary committee to consider
and report whether the assembling at tbe
seat of government of large bodies of or
ganized and armed troops, not under the
command of officers of tbe United States,
or any national authority, be not likelr
to prove in the future dangerous in prac
tice, and whether any legislation or opin
ion by Congress on the subject be desira
ble.
The House, after disposing of some
miscellaneous business, at 12:3U went into
committee of the whole on the private cal
endar.
Wabhington, February 11.—In the
House, at 4:15, the committee rose, and
two dozeu or more pension bills were
passed by the House. Adjourned.
In the Senate, after some discussion, the
resolution- was laid aside without action.
Mr. Bayard gave notice that on Monday
be would ask the Senate to take up tbe
House funding bill, and consider it until
disposed oft
Mr. Dawes made a speech on the Ponca
Indian question iu reply to recent letters
of Secretary Scburz, and Mr. Wallace was
awarded the floor to make* long argu
ment in support of tho constitutional
amendment proposed by him, providing
for a district system of voting in Presi
dential elections, and the choice ofa Pres*
identby a plurality of the direct popular
vote. 1
At tbe conclusion of Mr. Wallace’s re
marks, tbe Senate resumed consideration
of tbe postal appropriation bill, in com
mittee of the whole.
The amendment reported from the post-
office appropriation committee appropria
ting one million dollars for the establish
ment aud encouragement oi American
lines ot iron steamers was rulod out bv tbe
chair yesterday as in violation of the rule
which prohibits general legislation upon
appropriation bills. * Tbe pending ques
tion to-day was upon an appeal taken by
Senator Maxey from the cha’Fs decision.
After a long discussion, the decision of the
chair was overrated, the house holding,
by a vote of 29 to 15, tbat the amendment
was admissible.
Mr. Hamlin then said the pending
amendment had been hastily diawn
np, and he would offer, as a substitute for
it, another precisely similar in effect, but
more carefully worded. Tbe substitute
provides that of the $1,000,000 appropria
ted for foreign postal service by Amer
ican Lines of iron steamers, one-fourth
shall be made applicable to ports on tbe
Pacific coast, one-fourth to ports lying
south of and including Fortress Monroe
and ports on the Gulf or Mexico, aad one-
half to ports north of Fortress Monroe.
Without further action on tbe pending
amendment or substitute, tbe Senate ad
journed.
Washington, February .12—Iu the
Senate, Mr. Morgan, on behalf of the com
mittee to consider the state of the law In
relation to the election of President and
Vice President, stated that, though anx
ious to bring forward some proposition in
reference to this very important subject,
the committee thought it would be iu vain
to do so at this late stage of the session,
and would therefore abaudonthe meas
ures before them.
In tbe House, Mr. Clymer, of Pennsyl
vania, from the committee on appropria
tions, reported back the army appropria
tion bill with the Senate amendments,
recommending concurrence in some and
non-concurrence In others of those amend
ments. The recommendations were agreed
to.
The bill reported by Use interoceanic
canal committee iu aid of tbe Tehuante
pec ship railroad (Eads’ scheme) gave
rise to a noisy and disorderly straggle
over the question whellfer the report had
been authorized. Finally, on motion, of
Mr. Cox, of New York, tbo whole subject
was laid on the table by almost a unani-
—took a hand on Monday, and for awhile
the eucounter was lively, and tbe blows
thick and fast. I understand, however,
that Speer lost bis temper and Hammond
didn’t, which of oourae gave the latter the
advantage. Speer is an exceptionally
brilliant young man and has the stuff in
him to make a shining mark
higli up ou the list some day,
but Hammond carries too many guns for
him. In fact, there are few men iu the
House, or elsewhere, who carry more than
the member from the fifth district. If he
had a little more push and aggressiveness
he would soon couvinco the country that
the House holds less than a half-dozen
men who can maintain their right to stand
0:1 tbe saute plau8 with him. This verbal
passage at arms was a veritable feather in
Georgia s can. It Cemonitratcd Wl'.flt

The most gratilyiug incident of this see
sion, so far, is conceded ou all sides to
have been tbe stinging blow between
Ooukliug’s eyes delivered by Gen. Butler,
lu the Senate, ou Monday. The vulgar
snob from New York felt St, too, for his
fare paled, and he trembled all over with
mingled rage and shame. It was an in
sult Unit in Lamar’s scathing words on
previous occasion, “no good man would
deserve, aud no brave man wear.” But
the snob did both, as was to be expected.,
and will resent it,if at ail,by making faces
aud calling names. Of all men that bare
risen to the top, of late years, iu
American politics, I know of
no one with a grander intel
lect, meaner instincts, or baser methoks,
than Coukling. Iu intellect, lie soars
among the stars. In nature, manners,
practices aud impulses, he grovels in the
dust of a brutal demeanor and a worse
life. That any woman should love, or
any man like him, Is to me an anomaly
of auomalies. It is expected that he will,
after careful preparation, reply to Butler,
aud, incidentally, to Bayard, before many
days, aud will pack the galleries, as be
draws the crowd like a “star.”
TWO BIG BILLS
have been slaughtered in the House this
week, very much to the general surprise.
First, tbat annual montwsity, the river
and barbot bill, which appropriates over
teu million dollars, against eight,I believe,
last year, went down,against tbe desperate
endeavors of the committee on commerce,
headed by Reagan, 05 Texas. Then, the
bill making the bureau of agriculture
uepartment was slaughtered, aud the
Chevalier Le Due cast into the depths of
despair. It was a sad day for the com
merce committee, whose members had
very modestly allotted nearly six millions
of the ten millions to their own districts;
but sadder still for Lo Due. On the mo
tion by Reagan to suspend the rules aud
pass the bill, Messrs. Cook, Smith, Per
sons, Feiton and Speer voted yea, Mr.
Hammond uay, and Messrs. Blount,
Nicbolls aud Stephens did not vote, the
first named gentlemen having left the
House before the roll was
called, being unwell, aud so announced
by Mr. Hammond when bis name was
called. On tbe bill making tbe Agricul
tural Bureau a department, Messrs.
Cook, Smith, Persons, Hammond, Speer,
Stephcus and Felton voted in the affirma
tive, and Messrs. Blount and Nicbolls in
the negative. The defeat of the river aud
harbor bill was due iu considerable meas
ure to “Sunset” Cox’s speech against it,
which was iu his happiest vein, and flut
tered the friends of the bill prodigiously.
A determined eflmt will be made to get
the bill up agalu at the earliest pocsible
day, but I hardly think it will be as
strong on the second vote as on the first.
Don’t bet anything on it, though.
THE PROSPECT OF AN EXTRA SESSION
seems very good at this writing. The sta
tus of the eleven appropriation bills which
must pass before March 4th is this: The
military academy bill alone has be
come a law. Teu more must go through,,
an average of one every other day during
the twenty legislative days before the
above date, if au extra session is avoided.
Two of these bills have Hot yet been pre
pared. It will certaiuly require an active
dispa ch of business to get all thls work
done before March 4tb, for almost invari
ably tbe legislative, executive and judicial
and’sundry civil bills bave occupied a
week’s time each in tbe House, and a
week has usually been devoted to both of
them by the Senate.
MB. HAYES’ LITTLE TRIP
oat West last summer was rather inex
pensive one. He took along about twenty
fellow dead beats, but notwithstanding
his usual luck in having his hat chalked,
managed to spend more than $50,000.
Jhe jaunt covered about 8,000 miles, via
Omaba, Salt Lake, San Francisco, Tucson
au<l Santa Fo. The army furnished trans
portation, escorts, etc., through Arizona
and New Mexico, and in a number of in
stances tbe railroads did not charge for
tbe conveyance of tbe party. For a cold-
water jamboree it strikes me this was one
of tbe costliest on record. How the deuce
did temperauce.folks manage to get away
with so much money? If it had been
Grant, now, it would not be hard to ex
plain.
GEN. BHERMAN
was stxty-one years old to-day and there
fore has only one year of grace before be
ing sbolved on tbe retired list. Tho old
ebap has tbe best and easiest time of
any man in tbe service of the government
aud must hate to see the dread boor ap
proach. He is constantly on the go, aud
eats more free lunches and dinners, and
drinks more free liquor than any known
individual ia this country. Perhaps I am
doing Mr. Hayea injustice in the matter of
tbe free lunches and dinners in putting
old Tecumseh ahead of him, but it must
be nip and tack between them. Out of tbe
White House and Mrs. Hayes’sight, Ruth
erford is said to quite enjoy a “nip.”
Sherman is notoriously psrtlml to it—al
most as much so as be is to waltzing with
pretty women with hugable waists.
ALL SORTS.
An effort was made to-day to put an
amendment on the legislative bill provid
ing tbat Senators and Representatives be
fore drawing tbeirpay should certify they
Uau faithfully attended the services of their
respective branches, and when they could
not thus certify they were to have the pay
for the days absent deducted from tbeir
monthly pay. The amendment was voted
down, of course.
In the legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriation bill, reported to-day, the
salary of Mr. Marr, the venerable chief-
clerk in tbe office of tbe First Assistant
Postmaster General, has been increased to
$2,500 per year. Mr. Marr has held the
office for fifty years, commencing with the
administration of Presldeut Jacluon. The
increased salary is to be paid to Mr. Marr
during bla life-time, but is not to apply to
a successor.
During the Butler-Conkling spat on
Mouday, Senator Lamar was busy with
tapers during the latter part of Senator
. Sutler’s speech, and continued so occu
pied during Mr. Ooukliug’s rejoinder.
Senator Hill looked throughout as if he
thought tbe whole scene a strange sur
prise and wondered what it all meant.
Senator Hampton listened attentively to
his colleague, and -when Mr. Conkiing
arose kept bis back turned aud examined a
paper that be held in hb hand.
Dr. Felton voted at the last meeting of
the ways and means committee to kill
Hurd’s anti-tariff resolution by postponing
it four weeks. All the Radicals on the
committee voted the same way, and the
Democrats against postponement. This is
as it should be. A. W. R.
