TUB CONSCIENCE FUND.
This Is the name given to a lot of money
on deposit In the Treasury Department to
the credit of unknown parties who have,
at some time or another, robbed the gov
ernment, aud, afterwards repenting of it,
sent the amount back—sometimes with in
terest added. Since 1873 the receipts have
amounted to nearly $80,000. The latest
addition was on Wednesday when $500
was received with the statement that it
was from an old woman then on her death
bed, aud which she had stolen while em
ployed In the treasury a Dumber of years
ago. This sum is much above the average
amounts received, but sometimes the
amount rjms into the thousands. On one
occasion $2,500 were recoived, and on an
other a similar sum in old bills was sect
from a Western city with the request that
new bills he returned in exchange. This
was done, but no one of the name
ot the person sending the money
could be fonnd in that city, and
the money still lies unclaimed in the treas
ury. Some of the treasury officials have
a theory that the people sending this con
science money do not really owe the gov

Is capital unsafe at the South ? The
Portland Pram reports that a resident of
Maine, who Is desirous of establishing a
manufactory which could best be carried
ou the South, finds it impossible to secure
the capital for investment in that part of
the country, though he can readily secure
it, if he will carry on the business north
of Masou and Dixon’s line. And the Now
York Times mentions the incident, as one
that “tho Southern people may cogitate
upon.” The cogitation can do no harm.
There isn’t half enough of it done, nowa
days, either in Inviting or making invest
ments. Bnt it would be mtercsting to
know what facts, iu the present condition
of things at the South, industrially or po
litically, make capitalists unwilling to in
vest iu that section. There is no violence
to be feared. Taxation is not so high as
most northern communities. Legislation
is not unfriendly, ludced, iu many places,
unusual inducements, in the way of etw
couragement and exemptions, seem tol in
vite capita). The social.ostracism and po
litical animosities, that' rendered settle
ment at the Soutli unpleasant, are fast
passing away. Why should not capital
seek the South? Can anybody tell?

What are the material gains of Democ
racy can be readily shown. Under three
score years of its influence jt has reared a
republic from the ruins of revolution; it
has governed a people, bom in war and
reared in bloodshed, with ways of peace;
it lias secured for them the refining influ
ences of civilization; it has successfully
repelled British invasion from American
waters; it has enla.’ged and fixed the
frontiers of our country• and hurled back
the Mexican from our provinces; it has
caused itself to be felt in every laud and
mafle America respected at every coart; it
has planted and protected our commerce,
strengthened our influence aud unfurled
our flag to tho winds of the world; It has,
iu fact, “scattered plenty o’er a smiling
land, and reads its history in a nation’s
eyes.” It has been the motive pewer and
balauce-wheel of this great republic for
three-score years; it stood the storm of
foreign foe; it can survive the shock of
domestic derision; for with all of defeat
aud neglect, the Democracy of tiie Union
remains to-day, neither dethroned nor dis
crowned, hut full of strength aud full of
honor.

Tt is hardly to he wondered at that the
English find it difficult to pay serious at
tention to the utterances of the Irish
members, if the preposterous assertion of
the member from Tipperary may be taken
as an example. Unless something was
done, this statesman declared Mr. Par
nell would stand in the Congress of the
United States the spokesman of the
wrongs of Ireland. Withiu a month the
Congress of the United States will be dis
solved, and its successor will not come to
gether uutil the first Monday iu next De
cember. But even if in session, Mr. Par
nell could not liud his way into it. The
excited lipperarian doubtless thinks that
our system is like the British, where a
member may resign his seat and the elec
tors replace him by some one selected by
the party immediately. Even if Mr. Par
nell were qualified by citizenship this
cauld not come to pass. Furthermore,
what could Mr. Parnell do for Ireland on
the floors of Congress? We have scores
of statesmen there now who pass their
time iu condoling with the League aud
framing absurd resolutions for the instruc
tion of tiie British cabinet.

Washington, February 10.—In the
Senate, Mr. Hereford presented a joint
resolution of tho West Virginia Legisla
ture asking for a law to regulate In
ter-State railway traffic. Referred to the
committee on railroads. A number of
bills and joint resolutions were reported
back from tho committee and placed on
the calendar.
Mr. Bayard explained tho provisions of
the bill and gave in detail the reasons
which influenced tho Senato committee in
modifying the bill as it came from tho
House by changing tho rato of interest of
the proposed funding bonds from 3 to 3| per
cent. Ho said tho committee believed tiie
weight of authority was in faror of In
curring no risk of failure in the nego
tiation of the loan. He then reviewed in
detail the provisions of the bill and
amendments reported from the Senate
committee.
At tho conclusion of Mr. Bayard 6 re
marks Mr. McPherson spoke at con
siderable length In favor of a 3 per cent,
and ten-forty bond, and was followed
by Mr. Kernau In opposition to a long
time bond. The latter said he believ’d it
was a wise policy on the part of the gov
ernment to keep control of the opLion of
paying its debts, After some further dis
cussions the committee’s amendments
were taken up in order, the amend
ment making the rate of interest 3£ in
stead of 3 percent, being tho subject of a
long discussion, pending tbe conclusion of
which and without actiou on tho amend
ment the Senate adjourned.
When the Ilonse met this morning, Mr.
Blackburn occupied the chair during a
necessary absence of the Speaker.
The desk recently occupied by Fernando
Wood was draped in black and decorated
with a handsome basket of flowers.
Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, from the
committee on ways and means, reported
back tiie bill in relation to Unties on
manufactures of iron, etc. Placed on
the House calendar.
After tbe transaction of some unimpor
tant business, the House, at half past one
o’clock, went Into committee ofthe wholo
on tbe river aud harbor bill. Fifteen or
twenty amendments to the various provis
ions ofthe bill were offered, but every one
was rejected. A dispute then aroso upon
a point of order as to tho character of the
pending bill, whether it was a general or
special appropriation bill. The discussion
of this point continued until five o’clock,
when tho Speaker ruled that the liver aud
harbor bill was a special appropriation
bill. Mr. Clyraer, of Pennsylvania, in
ridicule ofthe bill, offered an amendment
appropriating forty million dollars for the
improvement of KisUemenitas and Ctiu-
nemaugh rivers—Pennsylvania. The
amount, ho said Vva3 not large, but was
the exact sura recommended by tho chief
engineer. The amendment, however, was
withdrawn. Mr. Clymcr then offered an
amendment appropriating half a million
dollars for the improvement of tho Poto
mac at Washington. Rejected.
Mr. Updegratr, of Iowa, offered an
amendment striking out the clause appro
priating $20,000 for the improvement of
New river—Virginia. He said hs was op
posed to making appropriations for mud
puddles. The amendment was rejected.

Joucnai ^
A large nuraoer oi amouumeua were
offered,but they were all with the exception
ol one or two formal amendments, reject
ed by a majority of about one hundred. At
last au ameudiuent was voted upon when
no qnorum voted, and that point being
raised, the committee rose. Mr. Reagan
hoped it would be tbe pleasure of
the House to allow a call to compel
members to be present and go forward
with tlio bill. A stand might as well he
made to-night as at any other time. A
call of the States was then ordered.
The roll call showed the presence of
101 members, more than a quorum, but
still the doors were closed and the sergeant-
at-arms was despatched after absentees.
Two or three hours were passed in vain
endeavors to arrive at some amicable
mode of settlement by which the session
could be brought to a close, but it was the
avowed intention of the supporters ofthe
bill to sit it out, while its opponents raised
the point of no quorum whenever any vote
necessitating a quorum was reached. Mr.
Van Voorhls.of New York, took the fore
most part in opposing tbe bill, and the
confusion and noise in the chamber was
very great. Finally, on motion of Mr.
Atkins, the house, at 9 o’clock, took a re
cess till 10 to-morrow.
Washington, February 15.—At a
meeting to-day of the Houso committee
on elections, Representative Field, of
Massachusetts, made a report In favor of
Representative Kitchen in the case of
Uliara vs. Kitchen. Tho report was
adopted by the committee, who instructed
Representative Field to present it to the
House. An adverse report was agreed to
upon the petition of Mr. Morgan ltawles,
of Georgia, for compensation for the ex
pense of his contest.
Tho Senate committee on military af
fairs to-day, authorized favorable reports
to be made to the Senate upon all pend

The suggestion that the government
could decree that there should be but a
single telegraph service and then compel
the Western Union to sell ont at a valua
tion made through the courts appears to
us a very extreme one. The power of the
courts to value property appropriated un
der the right of eminent domain is a very
different matter from the power to value
in a case like this, and the latter by no
means follows from the former. And
agaiu, are we entirely safe in establishing
so broad a principle as that the govern
ment may confiscate private property for
public use when it cbooes to do so? The
grounds upon which the government
would do this would equally subject a vast
amount of other corporate property, such
as that of gas, water aud railroad com
panies, to appropriation, and there is no
saying whero too principle would find a
limit. We are saddled with this monopoly

timely limitations upon the powers and
acts of corporations, designed to prevent
amalgamations conducive to subvert natu

the consequences of this neglect are to be
remedied except through some form of
violence to vested rights that would estab
lish very dangerous precedents. _ Our only
hope appears to lie in the creation of suc

make tbe monopoly amendable to the
natural regulation of competition.

“Resolved by the Senate and Honso of
Representatives, that tho interests of tho
United States of America and the welfare
and aecnrity of their government aro so in
volved in the subject of tho construction of
chip canals and other ways for transporta
tion of sea-going vessels across the isthmus
connecting North uud South America, that
the government of the United States,
with a frankness which is due to all
other peoples and governments, asserts
that it will insist that its consent is a neces
sary condition precedent to the execution of
any such project, and also ns to tho rules
and regulations under which other nations
shall participate in the use of such canal or
other ways, either in peace or in war.”
It was tabled temporarily and ordered
to be printed, at the suggestion ot Mr.
Eaton.
Mr. Windom said he would ask to sub
mit some remarks on tbe subject at some
convenient time in tbe present session.
The fortifications bill was reported from
the committee and placed on the calen
dar. Mr. Teller’s resolution for night
sessions beginning Thursday was passed.
Mr. Eaton from the committee on for
eign relations reported an amendment to
tho sundry civil bill appropriating twen
ty-five thoo»aua.dollars to pay the expenses
of an embassy to Mexico. Referred.
Hr. McDonald then addressed the Sen
ato on tbe Inequality in the taxation caus
ed by tbe protective tariff.
At the conclusion of his remarks the
Senate joint resolution to increase the
number ofthe army officers allowed to be
detailed as professors of military science
at colleges was passed.
At 3 o’clock consideration ofthe fund
ing bill was resumed. Mr. Morrill spoke
at some length in favor of tbe bill as re-
g orted, ana was followed by Messrs.
sunders, McDonald, Hereford, Eaton,
Vance, Kirkwood and others.
Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, said he
favored a 3| rate and a long bond, but as
he had been assured that a long time
bond would not be authorized by tbe
present Congress he would accept the next
best proposition of a 5-10 or a 5-20- bond.
After tbe statement by Mr. Bayard that
be would press the bill to a conclusion to
morrow, the Senate at 4:50 went Into ex
ecutive session, and when the floors were
reopened adjourned.
Tbe House met at 10 o’clock In con
tinuance of Tuesday’s session. The post-
office appropriation bill with the Senate
*—' to “
tee on appropriations, and then at 10:IK
tho House went into committee of the
whole, with Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, in
the chair, on the river and harbor bill.
The pending amendment, increasing the
appropriation for tho improvement of the
harbor at Calumot, Illinois, was rejected.
Mr. Van Voorhis, of New York, hav
ing withdrawn, at Mr. Reagan’s request,
tiie point of order that no quorum had
voted, Mr. Updegraff, of Indiana, offered
an amendment striking out the clause
appropr.atiug $25,000 for the improvement
of the Monntigahela river in Pennsylvania
ami Wr it Virgins. Rejected by a vote of
37 to 105.
Mr. Fort, oi Illinois, offered an amend
ment providing that the government shall
regulate the rato of tolls to be charged by
tho Monongahela Navigation Company
over the Monongahela river. Rejected.
Mr. Cox, of Now York, offered an
amendment that the appropriation
for tho improvement of the Monou-
gahela rivershall not be expended un
til the Secrotary of War shall be satisfied
that no part of the river so improved is
subject to exaction of tolls by any private
corporation for its me. He called atten
tion to the fact that every amendment of
fered was voted down. " He had endeav
ored to do his duty here on this bill.
Other measures might be lost because he
had been too impulsive or forward Is op
posing it. His friend from West Virginia,
Mr. Kenna, did not- understand why ho
opposed every appropriation, whether It
was for his own State or not. He could not
vole for them even forbtsown city or State
because he knew that they tended to the
corruption of the government. His friend
from West Virginia came here because he
had been faithful to Ins constituents.
How faithful Le (Cox) would show I He
sent to tho clerk’s desk and had read an
editorial article in the Chicago Tribune ot
June 30, 18S0, in which Kenna
is described as a Representative who is
returned to Congress in consequence of
his gift as a grabber on tho river and har
bor appropriation bill. Mr. Cox hero in
terrupted the reading with tho remark
that he did not know that word “grab
ber” was used, and that he withdrew
that word. The article went on to quote
from the Kanawha (West Virginia)
Gazette, to the effect that the third
congressional district of that State re
ceived from the public treasury more
than the amount of taxes which bad gone
Into the treasury from the wholo Stale in
five years, and that through the exertions
of Mr. Kenna the golden stream had
poured into the third district refreshing
the hearts of the workingmen, their wives
and children.
Mr. Kenna inquired if tho gentle
man did not wish that somebody
would write that way about him. ’In so
far 03 tho article read implied that he had
done faithful duty to his constituents and
to every interest of the country, it
was no more than just.
Mr. Cox said he never yielded to the
shrieks of any locality. Let the House call
a halt and proceed to the apportionment
bill. The amendment was rejected by a
vote oi 50 to 03.
Mr. Van Voorhis, of Now York, moved
to strike out the item of $2,500 for tho
Shenandoah river. Rejected. A large
number of amendments, most of them
similar to this, were offered, but all were
either rejected or ruled out. The appro
priation for tbe improvement of the Mis
sissippi having been read, Mr. Robinson,
of Massachusetts, offered au amendment
providing that no portion of the money
appropriated for tbe Mississippi river
should be used in the repair or construc
tion of levees for tho purpose of prevent
ing injury to lands by overflow, or for
any other purposo whatever, except for
means of deepening or improving the chan
nel ot that river.
Mr. Thomas, of Illinios, offered an
amendment forbidding the use of any of
tho money for tho purpose of reclaiming
swamp, .overflowed or alluvial lands along
tho Mississippi river, bnt providing that
it shall be confined strictly to improving
the liannel of said river.
Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, expressed liis
desire that the amendment of the gentle
man from Massachusetts (Mr. Robinson)
would prevail. Mr. Thomas* amendment
was rejected, aud Robinson’s adopted
without a dinson.
Mr. Marsh offered an amendment pro
viding that the work of improving tlio
Mississippi should be extended from St.
Paul to New Orleans, and striking out
the clause providing that the money should
be expended under the supervision of tho
Mississippi River Commission. Rejected.
The Item relative to the Misrissippi
having been passed, a large number of
items followed for tho improvement of
small rivers in Maryland and Virginia.
These items as they were read were op
posed by Mr. Updegraff, of IoWa,-who
made several very brief but sarcastic aud
amusing speeches, which were, bowever,o
no avail, as all his amendments were re
jected. Mr. Updegraff warned tho Demo
cratic party, and particularly the Southern
section of that party, that It would bn
responsible for the passage of this hill.
The committee rose aud the House took a
recess until 7:30.
11:15 p. m.—The House is still engaged
in the consideration of tho rivor and^liar-
bor bill in committee of tiie whole. Tlio
prospect is that tho bill will be reported to
to the House substantially unchanged
some time in the course of the night, but
it is doubtful whether final action upon it
will be had before to-morrow. Nearly
all proposed amendments have thus far
been voted down.
12:20 a. m.—The House is still In ses
sion upon the river and harbor appropria
tion bill. The friends of that measure
seem resolved that its consideration In
committee oi the whole 3hall be brought
to a close to-night.
Washington, February 10.—Secretary
.Sherman has postponed, until the 10th of
March, the sale o! the old Marino Hos-
pitatai building at New Orleans, which
was to take place on tbe 17th Instant.
This building originally cost tho govern
ment $530,000.
