Judoe Black, in his recent speech at New
York on the railroad question, seems to
have gotten very far nway from tho facts.
He computed that the railroads had unjust
ly extorted during the last year $675,000,-
000 from the people, nnd that only on
through freight alone; but Poor’s Railroad
Manual shows that the entire freight re
ceipts of the wholo 84,233 miles of railroads
in the United States were, in 1880, only
$3*0,070,108, or about ono-half of tho
amount which Judge Black says was un
justly extorted on through freights. Mr.
Fink, the railroad commissioner of New
York, has accordingly replied to Judge
Black’s statements. He says: Out of these
gross earnings the railroad companies
have actually paid, as also appears from
the same book, about CO per cent., or, say,
$232,000,000, for operating expenses, to their
employees, to manufacturers, Ac., which
leaves them only $154,000,000 available for
tho payment of interest on an investment
of $4,702,000,000. Tho total net earnings
of all the railroads of the United States,
including the jmssenger traflic, wore $219,-
!*!<>,724, or 4 8-10 per cent, on the capita
invested.

[tlou was at this time in order,

voti ng almost solidly against it.
Mr. AtKins submitted tbe conference re
port on tbe legislative, judicial and exec

to.
Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, then, at 4:15,
moved that the House proceed to con
sideration of busiuess on the Speak
er’s table, for the purpose of taking up the
funding bill. Mr. Price raised the point
of order that this motion was not in order
until unfinished business, tbe apportion
ment bill, was disposed of. He contended
that not only was that measure unfinished
business, but it was business upon which
the previous question had been ordered,
aud until that was disposed ot either by-
laying it on the table or withdrawing it,
the motion to go to the Speaker’s table
was not in orderp
Mr. Carlisle said that if the point of or
der were well taken, iic would raise tho
question of consideration. Tho Speaker
said tlio apportionment bill could hardly
beheld iu the liglitof unfinished business,
having regard to what had been done in
reference to that bill. There had been an
argument to waive its place as unfinished
business, and five gentlemen had been ap
pointed on each side to confer npon the
question. In addition to this, the geiitle-
mau from New York (Mr. Cox), was not
pressing the bill, and he would recognize
the gentleman from Kentucky to raise the
question of consideration.
Mr. Conger stated that tho committee
to confer upon the apportionment bill had
not come to any understanding, aud bail
instructed him as chairman of Che com
mittee, to inform the House of that fact.
The committee was functus officio, and
therefore tlie apportoinraent bill was just
where it had been left on Friday morn
ing.
Mr. Carlisle then raised the question of
consideration aud was recognized by the
Speal er.
Mr. Keifer raised the point of order tiiat
this question was not in order against the
measure upon which the -main question
had been ordered.
The Speaker ruled that in view of the
condition of the apportionment bill, the
question of consideration could be raised.
From this ruling Mr. Keifer appealed,
which appeal was, after brief discussion,
on motion of Mr. Wilson, of West Vir
ginia, laid upon the table-yeas 1x1, nays
94. This was a strict party voto-Jho
Greonbackers voting with the Democrats
in the affirmative.
Mr. Brown, of Indiana, was appointed
on tho river and harbor conference com
mittee iu the place of Mr. Hawley, de
clined. The House then, at 0:30 o’clock,
took a recess to 8 this evening,the evening
session to be for a memorial service in

of bills were introduced and referred.

currence in the Senate amendments to the

thi Speaker announced the appointment
or Messrs. Iteagan sad Hawly as conferees
upon the bill on the part of the House.
Washington, Marchl.—In the Senate,
Mr. Eaton from tbe committee on foreign
relations, reported back sundry bills and
resolutions recommending the construc
tion ot ship canal, or railways across the
Isthmus. He said the committee asked

of alt tiw>— subjects, thinking that the time
has not yet arrived when Congress should

Tbe Japanese indemnity fund bi:l
then came up as unfinished busiuess. The
bill directs the payment to Japan of the
amount of the fund, namely, $463,224
Mr. Morgan moved to amend the bill
by adding thereto tho bill reported from
the committee on foreigu relations pro
viding that the President shall catiso to be
paid out of the fund as prize money S24S,-
000 to the officers and crew of the United
States ship Wyoming, for services in tho
destruction of hostile vessels on the straits
of Shemmonseke in 1S63, and to the offi
cers and crew of the Takiang, detached
from the United States ship Jamestown it,
September, 1864.
Mr. Kirkwood moved to amend further
by fixing the total to be paid at $785,000,
which, he said, was the amount, without

creased $500, $15,000 given for investigx
ting the subject of pleuro-pneumonia, and
$5,000 for testing wool textile fabrics,
slight change is made iu the method of
distributing seeds, etc.
Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, submitted a con
feronce report upon the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill. The report
States that tbe committee has agreed upon
most of the items of difference between
the houses, bnt that no agreement has
been reached on about r. dozen amend
ments. The report was agreed to aud

the committee on elections, reported reso
lutions iu the contested election case from

iana, confirming the right of Acltlcn, the
sitting member to his seat.
The regular order was then demanded
by Air. Warner, of Ohio, who said that he
desired to go to the Speaker’s table to take
up the funding bill. The Speaker there
upon proceeded to call the committees,
but no reports of importance were sub
milled.
Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, at 12:10,
moved to proceed to business on the
Speaker’s tabic, for the purpose of taking
up the funding bill.
Mr. Robeson called attention to the
fact that the question of consideration
raised yesterday by Mr. Carlisle was still
undecided. The Speaker said that the
apportionment hill lmd not been called up
this morning. Afr. Price thereupon called
up that bill, aud Mr. Carlisle immediate
ly raised the question of consideration.
Mr. Haskell, of Kansas, moved to
recommit the apportionment bill.
Speaker—“That is now before the
House.”
Air. Cox asked if gentlemen on the oth
er side would vote in good filth to take up
that bill without obstruction,
Air. Price—“Yes.”
Mr. Cox—“Not one of them will do it;
they never intend to pass that bill.”
At this point the proceedings were in.
terrupted „by Mr. Reagan with a confer-
ence report on the river and harbor ap
propriation bill. A statement which ac
companies tho report states that as the
bill passed the House it appropriated $10,-
178,800. The Senate had increased this
amount $962,000 by means of 139 amend
ments. In conference the Senate had re-
ceded from seven amendments, aggrega
ting $66,000, leaving the amount appro
priated by the bill at $11,141,800.
Air. Cox, of New York, raised the
point of order that the statement was not
sufficiently in detail to fulfill the require
ment of the rules. Finally tbe report
was agreed to—yeas 102, nays 84—and
the struggle over the funding bill was re
sumed.
Mr. Price demanded the regnlar order,
which the Speaker stated was the ap
portionment bill. Air. Carli3lo again
raised the question of Its consideration.

to consider the apportionment bill.
Mr. Conger then demanded the consid
eration of tho unfinished business, and
again and again the roll was called and a
vote taken on the question of considering
tho various bills under that head. The
House refused to consider any of them,
bat much time was consumed by these
obstructive motions, the object of which
was to prevent reaching the funding bill.
At the conclusion of the unfinished bus
iness, Air. Robeson tried to filibuster by
rising to a question of privilege, and mov
ing to suspend the rules and pas3 the bill
relating to the Canadian fisheries quna-
lion, but the Speaker would not recognize
him for that purpose, and finally the
House agreed to proceed to tho considera
tion of tbe unfinished business on the
Speaker’s table.
After disposing of the several measures,
which had precedence, the House at last
reached the funding bill, which was then
read as passed by the Senate. Mr. Mc
Millan, of Tennessee, moved to concur in
the Senate amendments. Mr. Conger
raised points of order and appealed from
tho decisions of the chair until Mr. Tuck
er moved for a recess, stating that after

tbe committee, sent to the Speaker’s
desk a number of Senate amendment

demanded the previous question. Mr.
Conger raised further points of order.
Mr. DeLamatyr tried to introduce an
amendment providing for the replacement
of tbe retired national bank circulation by
treasury notes, but, Mr. Tucker refused to
yield, which called forth protests from the
Greeubackers.

be proposed by Mr. Mills, of Texas, as
follows: In addition to bonds and treas

no part of tbe sinking fund, but shall be
cancelled. The amendment was adopted
without debate or objection, Mr. Bayard
casually remarking, in reply to Mr. Lo
gan and Mr. McDonald, that without this
trovUion tho Secretary could not extend
its purchases beyond the requirements of
the sinking fund, aud that it would apply
to any bouds the payment of which was
optional with tbe government.
Mr. Hoar introduced and bad read by
the clerk an amendment intended to be
proposed to tho deficiency approprlat'n
fill, embodying tbe substantial features
of the 3 per cent, refunding bill without
tho compulsory fifth section aud other
extraneous matters. Mr. Hoar asked and
obtained unanimous consent to permit his
proposition to go to the finance committee,
find that the prohibition of tbe rules, so
far as it would prevent its being offered
in the Senate, should be waived.'
The sundry civil bill was then proceeded
wilb. The next amendment of the com
mittee upon which tho vote had been re
served was one appropriating $20,000 for
ircliasc of private papers of the late
Confederate Generals Braxton Bragg aud
Leonidas Polk, relative to the war of the
rebellion. After some discussion, the
amendment was tabled.
Mr. Morgan moved an amendment
appropriating $25,000 for the expenses of
tlie embassy to the government of Mexico.
Agreed to.
A number of amendments were offered,
discussed and tabled. Tbe bill was finally
reported to the Senate as amended, read
the third time and passed. The refunding
bill was received from the House and
signed,by the Yice-President.
The House met at ten o’clock in contin
uation of Tuesday’s session. Mr. Tucker
of Virginia, demanded the previous ques
tion on the motion to concur in Senate
amendment number sixteen to the fund
ing bill. This is the “Kirkwood” amend-,
raent, authorizing, public subscriptions
for the bonds aud notes provided for in the
bill. There being no quorum present, a
call of the House was ordered ou motion
of Mr. Conger, of Michigan, and 125 mem
bers responded to this call—less than a
quorum, and then Mr. Tucker moved to
dispense with further proceedings under
the call. Air. Conger demanded the yeas
and nays, which resulted in yeas, 158;
nays, 13. So further proceedings were
dispensed with.
Mr. Tucker then yielded to McMahon,
who reported back from the appropriation
committee tbe deficiency appropriations
bill, and moved to suspend tbe rules and
put it upon its passage.
Tbe reading of the bill was not com-
] fieted until 12 o’clock. Mr. Hiscock, of
New York, a member of the committee
on appropriations, criticised the bill,which
*vas chiefly remarkable in that in which
it was deficient.
The estimates for the internal revenue
bureau were $300,000 in excess of the
ainouut appropriated in the bill, and the
appropriation for public printing was
$700,(W0 less than should have been al
lowed. The attorney general had sub
mltted an estimate of $100,000 to pay
special deputy marshals which had uot
been allowed by the committee. He had
hoped that the Democratic party would
have settled its debts before it went out of
power.
Mr. AIcMahon replied to tho criticisms
upon the bill and some discussion follow'
cd, at the end of which Mr. McMahon’s
motiou was agreed to.
The rules were suspended and the de
ficieucy bill, the last of the appropriation
bills, was passed.
Consideration of the funding bill was
immediately resumed, tbe question being
on ordering tho previous question. On
motion to concur in Senato amendment
sixteen, a large majority of the Republi
cans refraiued from voting, but enough
cast their votes to make a quorum and
the main question was ordered—yeas 133,
nays 25. The question then recurred on
concurriug in the amendment, and on
division the Republicans refraiued from
voting and left tlie Hoose without a quo
rum. After further delay tho sixteenth
Senate amendment was concurred in-
yeas 146, nays 16.
The next question was on tho twenty-
fifth senate amendment, which is to in
sert the word “temporarily” in thfi fourth
section, which authorizes the secretary of
the treasury to use $50,000,000 in coin in
tho redemption of 5 and 6 per cent, bonds.
The Senate amendment (twenty-fifth) was
then concurred in.
The next amendment was that fixing
the timo .after which 3 per cent, bonds
shall be the only bonds receivable as se
curity for uational bank circulation, etc.,
at the 1st of July. To this Mr. Conger
offered hlaamcndment fixing the date at
the first of September, and striking out
the clause repealing section 4 of the act
of the 20th of June, 1874. '
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, reserved all
points ot order, and theu ono hour was al
lowed for debate. A discussion of some
lengtli followed as to the question whether
tbe 50th section of the funding bill
known as tlie Carlisle amendment, hac
the effect of repealing the law under
which national bauks, seeking to close
up their business, could deposit lawful
money aud withdraw their bouds. Mr.
Carlisle, the author of tho sectiou, main
tained that it did not have such an effect,
Air. Frye insisted that the purport of tho
50th sect{on should be so expressed as to
leave no grouud for possible uoubt os to
its meaning.
Mr. Carlisle, in closing the debate, said
“Tho gentleman from Maine—Mr. Frye—
would not take tlie responsibility of ex
pressing the opinion that the fifth section
took away from the banks desiring to
close up their business the right to do so
by depositing legal money and withdraw
ing their bonds. There were, however,
honest apprehensions to that effect in the
minds of some people, and ho proposed to
remove them by a supplementary bill.
He would move to suspend the rules
and pass a bill making it perfectly
clear that the author of the fifth section
never intended to interfere with the right
of a national bank that wanted in good
faith to retire from business to deposit lc.
gal money and withdraw its bonds. There
were now three ways iu which tho bank
could retire its ciVculation -by bringing
its own notes, by placing on deposit
with the treasery a reserve fund to be
used in the redemption of its notes and
by depositing legal money—that right ot
banks it was not proposed to touch. If
banks wanted more than that he was not
in favor of giving them more. [Applause
qn tho Democratic side.]
The debate being closed, Mr. Springer
raised tho point of order on Air. Conger’s
amendment, that it applied to matter In
the bill which bad not been amended by
the Senate. After some discussion, how
ever, Mr. Springer withdrew his point of
order, and the rote being taken on Mr.
C’ouger’s amendment, it was rejected—
yeas 117, nays 132. The Senate amend
ment was then concurred In, fixing the
date at July 1st.
This was tho last Senate amendment,
and then Air. Tucker, undo: instructions
of the committee on ways and means, of
fered the amendment known as the Mc
Kinley amendment, providing that noth
ing in this act shall be construed as repeal
iug, modifying or affecting sections 5,-
220-1-2-3-4 of the revised statutes. This
was rejected—yeas 114, nays 127.
This was the last amendment, and the
vote leaves the Senate amendments all
concurred in without change.
The Dill, after being enrolled aud signed
by the Speaker, goes to tho President for
his action.
Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, then moved
to suspend tlie rules aud put on its
passage the bill amending tho funding bill
just agreed to. It contains all the
amendments proposed by the committee
on ways and means, including the Mc
Kinley amendment. Tlie demand for the
suspension of the rules was seconded by a
vote of J42 to 11. After some further
discussion, the rules were suspended aud
the bill passed, no division being taken.
The Speaker laid before the House the
enrolled funding bill, and it was signed
by him. The House then adjourned.
Washington, March 2.—Tho follow
ing are the provisions of the supplemen
tal funding bill passed by the House to
day: Section 1 provides that the last sen
tence of the funding bill shall read as fol
lows: “It shall bo the duty of tho Secre
tary of tho Treasury, uuder such rules
aud regulations as ho may prescribe, ,to
authorize public subscriptions at uot less
than par, to be received all at depositories
of the United States and at all
national banks and such other bauks as
he may designate lor tho bonds and for
tho treasury notes herein provided for,
for thirty days before ho shall contract
for or award any portion of said bonds
treasury notes to any syndi
cate of individuals or hankers, or
otherwise than under such public sub
scriptions, and if it shall happen that more
than tho entire amount of said bonds aud
treasury notes, or of cither of them, has
been subscribed within said thirty (lays,
ho shall award tho full amount subscribed
to all persons who shall have made- a
bona fide subscription in the order of
timo of subscriptions at rates most ad
vantageous to tbo United States.
Section 2 amends section 4 of the same
bill so as to authorize the Secretary of the
Treasury to use from timo to lime not ex
ceeding fifty million dollars at any one
time of standard gold and silver coin in
tho Treasury for the purposes mentioned
iu said section.
Section 3 amends section 5 of the fund
ing bill by adding thereto tbe following:
“And provided further, that nothing in
this ant shall be so construed as to repeal,
modify or in any manner affect sections
5,220-21-22-23-24 of tho revised stat
utes.” •
Washington, March 2.—Tho opinion
seems to prevail generally throughout the
city to-night, that the President will veto
the funding bill which passed the Hoiise
to-day
Washington, March 2—Indications
now are that the deficiency bill will be
disposed of by tbe House soon after 1
o’clock, when debato will be resumed on
the funding bill. Tbe general Impression
now prevailing is that tbe bill will be
lassed by the House to-day, substantially
n tbe shape In which it came from the
Senate and that amendments to be pre-
posed by Representative Conger will be
voted down. If this is done the bill will
undoubtedly go to the President for his
ignat ure or veto. .
On the other hand, many well informed
observers (including a number of promi
nent members of Congress) are still firm
ly of opinion that the bill will be defeated
in tbe Housfi unless it be further
amended.

St. Johns, N. B., Alarch 2—A violent
rain storm, accompanied by. heavy wind,
began on Monday eveniug and still pre
vails with unabated force. At times tho
tho wind blew over forty miles an hour.
Within twenty-four hours three aud a
quarter inches of raiu fell on a level. The
entertainments last evening had to bo
postponed on account of the weather. The
Boston steamer due yesterday afternoon
will only arrive to-day,having laid up at
Portland.
It has just been ascertained that the
three-masted schooner Irving B. Hall,
hence to Cape Breton, was lost with all
her crow—nine in number—at Flower
Cave on the 3d ult.
The schooner Reno drifted from her
moorings and became a total wreck. Every
boat in tho harbor was destroyed in the
gale, width was the worst for fifty years.
It Is feared that tho brigantines Mar
garet and Bianca, hence to ports in the
Mediterranean, liavo been lost with all
hands. They have been sixty days out.
The body of paymaster Baughman, of
the American war ship Alliance, interred
hero last summer, was exhumed yesterday
and put on board the United States
steamer Yanctic, which intended to leave
this morning, but during the night the
harbor was packed with drift ice aud nav
igation completely stopped.
Halifax, March 2.—A heavy south
east gale began early yesterday morning
and continued all day. A tremendous sea
was raised tn tho harbor, but no damago
has been reported. .
Congressman-Elec t Turueh
I Yesterday afternoon a well-made, mid-
dly-aged gentleman, dark-eyed and with
iron-gray beard, embarked from tbo Cen
tral train and boarded the north bound
cars over the Charlotte, Columbia aud
Augusta railroad. Any one who, during
the past two or three terms, has over at-
tended the sessions of the Georgia Legis
lature, would at once hare recoguized the
firm figure and strong features of Mr.
Turner, of Brooks. lie has been elected
member of Congress from the Second dis
trict of the State, as regular Democratic
nominee, over a Republican opponent,
aud uo new member of tlie Forty-Seventh
Congress enters that body better equipped
in legislative experience, parliamentary
training and legal ability than Hon. H. G.
Turner. He was one of the mo3t
valued representatives the State ever had
i utlie lower House of her Geueral As
sembly. He was chairman of the judic
iary committee of the last House, was
first manager of tlie Goldsmith impeach
ment, aud gained a reputation for fair
ness and ability which made bis uomliuw
tion in the Congressional convention iu
his district doubly sure. Two strong
joints about Representative Turner arc
lis conservatism and common sense. He
will be a leader on his side of tho next
nouse of Congress before his term is out.
Ho was, yesterday afternoon, on his way
to Washington City, where he will wit
ness tho inauguration ceremonies, and
join in the procession of the Democratic
funeral.
Mr. Turner fears that tho House will
uot settle the apportionment questiou
this session. He agrees with the Chroni
cle that a failure so to do will greatly in-
convcuience tho State Legislatures,
especially that ot Georgia; for if the
iresent Congress leave it to the next
Jongress to finish, fix and declare, *a
second extra session of tho Georgia Legis
lature will have to be called. He docs
uot entirely favor increasing the numlior
iu the House of Congress to 319, as he
thinks ft. will give the North and West
too much relative power.—Augusta
Chronicle.

Important Decision.
New Yobk, March 2.—In the action of
George McCord vs. the Arlington Bluff
Association of Florida, Isaac M. Ward
and Wm. Matthews, Judge Biatchford
handed dowu Ids decision to-day iu tho
United States Circuit Court, in which ho
says bo docs not tbiuk the plaintiff has
such standing in court as a stock
holder as to enable him, under a settled
rule In such cases, to call Ward and
Matthews to account as trustees in re
spect to tho property of the corporation.
Tho bill does not allego a sufficient ground
for a suit by the plaintiff, and the charge
of fraud against Matthews and Ward is
not made out. The court, therefore, dis
missed the bill with costs to Ward and
Matthews.
