There was a gnashing of teeth on soft, tender arms: there was a falling of many tufts of hair, that fell to never grow again. There was blood, and there was everything but death. Tbe huge woman cried ’’enough” and said she’d never do It again, and the yonng woman picked up her fallen treases, and smoothing out her ruf fled garments, led the trophy off to the hack. ’’Now, Frank, the next time you take me out and I ask you to escort me home, when I’m tired, I hope you’ll do so, and not play smart, in dancing attendance upon somebody else."

Ferdinand Danger was the professional inven tor of popular games, some of which were not too ixipular with the police. He used to retire to his Montmartre hermitage atid meditate, like a poet or a nudists, on his next creation. Home were very happy and yielded golden fruits. Thus he was the nrkt to devise the conscience- album—putting questions as to one’s favorite virtue, one’s pet aversion, virtue, vice, etc.; which sold like a Zola novel during some years, and which has (icnetratcd into England of late. Then he used to furnish the minor merchants with tricks and puzzles, called Ques tions of the Day, and which, under varying names, are still largely in vogue. He it was who invented the baroque game at billiards, an ingenious device fatal In the hands of swin dlers, which has recently lieen prohibited by the l’refeeture. He had also on hi* conscience a three-card trick of an originally complicated character. And with all this ingenuity, a wit. He asked a stranger in a gaming dub, “You don't know baccarat?

It is said that the recall of the Chinese stu dents was due to an incident that occurred In an interview which a young and learned Chi nese hail with I.! Hung Chang. The Chinese in question had spent some time in America and the result of his technical education that lie received there was that he was as skillful as any foreigner in a Certain department of min ing engineering. He spoke English perfectly, and hail a good knowledge of French, lmt un fortunately this proficiency in foreign tongues was obtained at the cost of the vernacular, which lie could neither speak, read nor write with fluency or correctness, tin arriving in China, the young fellow found himself in what Ap|ieareit to him to be a sirs accustomed was he to the lau ners of his people, and, furthermore, his advanced professional knowledge, he dis covered that he could not obtain employment commensurate with his attainments. Home in fluential friends bestirred themselves in his behalf and his case was brought under teh notice of Li Hung Chang, who summoned the young man tohu presence. The young Chi nese felt abashed when he found liimseif before the Viceroy, and, in reply to the brusque ques tion* of the latter, “what can you do?” he could only stammer out a few wools of shock ingly bail (.111110*0 expressive of his respect to the questioner. His power of expressing him- aclf in the vernacular, which was limited at the best of times, completely forsook him on this occasion, and he stood trembling before Li. Tbe Viceroy was outraged at this instance of a man forgetting the language of his fathers, and forcibly told the youth that he was no bet ter than a foreigner, adding; “Why. you were scut abroad to study science and gain know!- cage, not to lose yoar nationality, and you re turn here a complete foreigner.” (hanging from this severe tone and addressing the Chi nese in a playfully threatening tnauncr. Li in timated to him that he would give him an opportunity of displaying and exerting hi* professional knowledge by sending him to assist in wooing one of the mines, “but," added thewiccroy, “If you do not relearn your language by the time your probation ia flnished, beware,” and he then made a motion significant of the act of decol lation. The student left the presence of the dispenser of life and death with a firm deter mination to return to the speech of his fathers, and to merit the favor bestowed on him by Li in ” exploiting” this .mine. He shortly after ward left for the scene of operations, and is stow acquitting himself with satisfaction in cliM-harving his duties. Not long after this in cident LI bad several interviews with other Chinese who had studied In foreign lands, and the suspicion engendered in his mind by the first named student with respect to the effect of foreign education became confirmed to such a degree that he approved of, if not originated, the action of recalling all Chinese studying in America. Lamsr’s Two Earns. J. B. B. ia Chronicle and Constitutionallet Senator Lamar was knocked down the other day by coming Into collision with a carriage horse. The Senator is given to contemplative moods and becomes Indifferent to the hurly- burly around *-*— ‘—' ’ ’ driver should Fora moment, _ mar was stunned. Then speedily reacting and getting upon his feet, he olfcred a considerable reward for the identification of the rude hack- man. The Senator Ays this is the second time he was ever knocked down. The first event is thus narrated: Years ago, when he had Just begun the political career that has become so glorious, Lamar had a dispute with a local ce lebrity, — —. . Icbrity, at Covington, named Zacharic, familiarly called “Uncle Jimmy.” This ‘powerful. when . the war of words came on he was sit ting ina chair and Lamar confronted him erect. Knowing well enough that his only safety was in intimidating his gigantic antagonist, Lamar drew a pistol, pointed it at the sitting man and said: uncle Jimmy, if you attempt to rise from that chair, I will kill yon!” Uncle Jim my concluded to obey, though with 111-sup- preared wrath and profuse premises of future settlement. Not loqg afterward, when Lamar was treating some Democratic fellow citizens at a corner grocery, to benzine or -wine, he heard an exultant voice cry out behind him: "Lucius, I have got you now!'’ Suiting the action to the word. Uncle Jimmy let drirehls muscular arm and fist, which, coming in contact with Lamar’s head, caused the body to stagger and Ail. Lamar rose and Uncle Jimmy precipi tated his huge bulk against him likcacatapult. The Democratic party present thought the time had come to interfere, and Uncle Jimmy was seized by sinewy grips and told to lease his hold. Not satisfied with his met of doing so, he had a second admonition. A, on examination It was found that Lamar hat Uncle Jimmy's finger in his mouth and would not let It go! During the melee, Lamar had seized a skillet and made quite a mesa of his burly foeman's face and head. But this wa* the first time he had ever been knocked down, and the last fine until Thursday afternoon. So it seems that in the annals of deoigia, L. Q. C.

A FKXCE M AN Advances Some Bound Bensons for HteWayol Thinking, Editobs TtLtoiurn vn> Messexokb: Tbo question of whether or not the people of the various countiea in this Slate shall be required to keep their stock within their own ine'osuroi c* be allowed tbe privilege of pasturing them upon the commons, waste land and canebrakes, is one of such importance fiat I wish to express through your journal my views upon this subject. I feel assured that my opinions will be con curred in by a large class of good citizen?. I very much doubt whether many voters have taken the care and pains to read the law enacted by our Legislature and thor oughly acquairt themselves with its prac tical operation. What is the effect if the "no fence” law should become of force by a majority vote of this or any other county within this State? A owns cattle, or hor.es, hogs or sheep, ..hich he is raising for food or profits They are within his own inclosure. By storm, flood, accident or some other casu alty, they escape from his field. They are found by BJon his land, having damaged his crop, or having grazed upon the grass growing thereon. B is now authorized by law to impound said stock, lie ia then required to give A notice within twenty-four hours, if he knows that they are his property. B then claims of A the amount in money that he thinks that he has been damaged, besides pay for his services in feeding and attention to said stock. If tbe-e Is no damage, then a bill for services is rendere j. If these two parties cannot agree upon the sum that A should pay B, or if they should agree, and A bos not the money to pay B, the statute then requires that B go before a justice of the peace in the district or some adjoining district, who shall sum • mon the parties as in suits at lawgiving five days’ notice to common witnesses, and said justice shall try the matter at issuo and give judgment against A for snch dam age or care and attention,upon which judg ment shall issue to be levied on A’s stock held by B. (as the statute provide* for jus tice court sales), and if said stock does not pay said judgment, court costs and of ficers’ fees, the balance to proceed against A’s property if any he has. This litigation may be postponed for cause, and when decided may be taken up to the higher courts^md will be very sure to end in much trouble and feeling between the narties concerned Again, if A’s stock escape from his in- closoflnnd B finds them upon his land, and mot know to whom they belong, be is dHHrized and required by the stature to “Estray them,” aproeeeding that re quires B to exhibit the stock to two free holders, to make a careful description of them, then go before the ordinary of the county and make oath to the same. The ordinary is then to put said description in a book called an ostray book. The stock then are to be advertised for sixty days in a newspaper in the county, and at the justice oourt grounds where the eatray was taken up. If. at the end of said time, no one comes forward, pays all costs and takes away said astray, then the sheriff of the county it required to advertise said ee- trny for il -nrST!*-*”’” 1 c ‘- n the same at if any, to go to theeducational fund of the county. It is unnecessary to say that the expense attending upon each a proceeding would absorb tbe value of half a dozen hogs or sheep and most of the value of any other stock. Again, said law allows stock to be taken np and imponnded in any county where there is a stock law, although said stock may have wandered across an invisible line from a county where there is no stock law. The statement of such a law shows its manifest injustice. It wonld require cattle endowed with reason to obey it. By act of our last Legislature, approved December 2trth, 1881, the people of a mili tia district in any oonnty in this State shall be allowed by vote to enact the “no fence” law for their district. The ordinary of tbe county is then required to erect a rail fence along said district lines, over hill and dale, through swamps and creeks, and to build gates on all roads crossed by said fence. The eta*nte continues in a most puerile manner to require persons to shut the gates on pa'sing through them oi they will be fined twenty dollars The aw goes on farther and requires the owner of land to furnish pasture land for a cow and calf of his tenant if he rent* bis land, without knowing how much land said landlord may have, and whether any of it is good for pas tore or not, and making no provisions to pay for the land attempt ed to be forced from the owner by an act dearly unconstitutional. Tho practical farmer who knows tbe difficulty of keeping farm gates shut and of keeping his fencing in condition to pro tect his crops, will fully appreciate the im practicability of keeping up a rail fence, with no one to superintend it, around an entire militia district. Such a fence, how ever well bailt around any district in this or any other connty in this State, would not be in good condition for thirty days, for it is liable to be thrown down by any irresponsible coon hnnter, or the gates left open by persons passing during the day and night. The money levied on the dis trict to erect snch a fence under the pres ent law would in my judgment be lost. A large class of our best citizens favor this law, known commonly as the “no fence law,” and I regret to differ with them, and I would beg to bring their at tention to this view of the subject. There are a large class of good citizens who live on the outskirts of this city and in various portions of the country who have but small lots attached to their houses. They generally own a cow from which a portion of their living is obtained, especi during the summer months. If they are debarred the privilege of posture on the waste land common that surrounds them it will require of each family an outlay of from six to eight dollars a month to feed and care for their cow, an expense a great majority of them are na&ble to afford, and the sole of their cow is forced upon them— a situation that no one desires to see them FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, February Senate the President pro-tern, submitted a message irorn tbe President, transmit ting tbe annual report of the Indian Com missioner, wltn a letter from the Secre tary of tbe Interior, suggesting legislation upon some points in tbe report, and also a from the standpoint of politics. As Ur. Prescott concluded his speech, loud cries of “vote, vole,” come from all parts of the 16.—In the! House, but Mr. Cox, ia an indignant tone, «„hmii»oA demanded hU right to be heard. The Speaker stated that the time for debate had terminated. Mr. Cox appealed to Lhe House to allow him a few moments to reply to tbe imputations of bis col league. Mr Page, of California, objected unless be should be allowed to reply to some remarks made by Mr. Prescott as tq tbe constitution of California, ■ It is unfair to say that such views o- sen timents are pandering to the feelings of any one class of people. Tbe great body of onr citizens are in moderate circumstances, and it is upon tbe product of their muscle that the wealth of our country rests, and their welfare should always be well considered by oar Legisla ture. In my judgment our county and State are not in n proper condition for snch a law. To prevent tho use of (he large amount of unenclosed common in summer, and ex tensive cane brakes in winter to the stock of our citizens, is an unnecessary hardship that I would regret to see placed upon the people. The view advanced that owners of land wish to cultivate it without fencing, and object to others stock pasturing their land, I do not think a sound one. Farmers who wish to cultivate their land as it should be should not object to fencing it. If timber is inconvenient it may cause them to curtail the area planted, to enrich and cultivate it well, and in the end be of benefit to themselves and the country. Ho one who has land that he cares not to fence or cultivate should object to it being used for pasture. He has always a complete remedy, which is to enclose his land. 'Ihe right of pasture in common has been used from timo immemorial, and I do not think the condition of the country and our people is suoh to take from them the free use of the grass upon unenclosed land. The earth is termed oar common mother, and let her nse be free as far as we can in jus tice to the rights of others. Jso. P. Fobt. Notice.

The Emperor'S seclusion, he continues, will lead to disunion between the Emperor and the people, who will final ly accustom themselves to dispense with their sovereign. The Czar was irritated by the letter, and sent for Privy Councillor Pobedinosseeff, procurator-general of the Holy bynod, of whom he inquired whether be (tbi Emperor) could dismiss the Motro- politar, ana Pobedinosseeff replied, “Yes, with the sanction of the Holy Synod.” —P. incess Louise is busy shipping maidens from England to Canada, where ihcy are expected to find homes and husbands. letter from the Commissioner cf Educa tion, recommending an appropriation Of Cos then gskeil tbfit U« be allowed «|.J tax for abataul purposes in Alaska. - ' - — — - - Mr. Hampton reported favorably a joint resolution directing copies of the official letter-books of tbe Executive De partment of the Stale of North Carolina to be furnished to said State. _ - After an explanation by Mr. Edmunds that a abort executive session at this time was more desirable than at the close of the session, in view of tbe arrangement for the final disposition of thn polygamy bill to-day, tbe Senate at 12:45 wont into executive sessioD.and at 1:15 resumed legls- lative bosiccsss. when the regular order (the anti-polygamy bill) was proceeded with, tbe question being upon tbe eighth section. As reported from tbe Judiciary committee the section vacates all registra tion and election officers of the territory and devolves their duties (until provision therefor is made by tbe legislative assem bly to be created as provided by tbe bill) on a board of five persons to be nominat ed by tbe President and confirmed by the Senate, all of whom shall not be members of one political party. It farther decrees that the canvass and returns of vote* at elections of tbe legislative assem bly shall bo made to this board, which ia to canvass such returns and issue cer tificates ot election to those persons who being eligible tor election shall appear to have been lawfully elected, and that tbe assembly, afteritaorganization,shall have power to decide upon the election and qualifications of its members and fill the offices made vacant by the bill. The pre ceding (or seventh) section disfranchises and makes ineligible to office in any terri tory or other place under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States any polyg amist, bigamist or person cohabiting with more than one woman. An interesting debate followed, in the course of which Messrs. Brown and Mor gan, among others, spoke against tbo re turning board feature of the bill, which gave the commissioners power to disfran chise all polygamists, which term they might construe to cover all Mormons, in asmuch as polygamy is a tenet of tbe Mor mon faith. The remaining committee amendments and the several sections of the bill wore then agreed to without fur ther debate, and tho bill reported to the Senate as from the committee of the whole. Mr. Brown then renewed bis amend ment, requiring tbs’ uot more than three membeu of the board of commissioners shall be of the same political party. Agreed to on a rarty vote—ayes 20, noes 24. Mr. Davis, of Illinois, voted aye with the Democrats, and Mahone was absent. Another amendment offered by Mr. Prown to tho last section of the bill was adopted, prohibiting tbe board from dis franchising any one on account of bis opinion on the subject of bigamy or polyg amy. Several amendments were proposed and defeated by decisive votes, and after a rearrangement of its sections the bill finally passed by a rfeu roce vote, in which no negative response was heard. Mr. Ingalls then asked that the pension arrears resolution be taken up and laid over as unfinished business, and it was so ordered. The Senate adjourned at 7:05 o’clock p. m. inusE. Mr. Cox, of Hew York, from the com mittee ti audit the expenses growing out of the death and burial of the late Presi dent James A. Garfield, reported a bill granting a pension of $5,000 a year to Mrs. Lucretia It. Gat field. Mr. Atkins, of Tennessee, said he would not object to tbe bill, but ho thought that a similar measure should be adopted to pension the widow of any other president. The bill was passed. Mr. Ellis, of Louisiana, by request in troduced a bill to provido for the estab lishment of a fast ocean steamship mail service between the United States and Great Britain aud to secure to the gov ernment the use if vessels for postal, na val and other purposes. Referred. Mr. Flower, of Hew York, presented a petition of 2,400 merchants and other cit izens of Hew York city for tbe abolition of tbe tax on banx deposits and the stamp tax on bank checks. Mr. Cox presented a similar petition, bearing 1,000 signa tures, and Mr. McLane, of Maryland, a similar petition from 1,000 citizens of Baltimore. Tbey were ell referred to the committee on ways and means. Under tbo call of tbe committees tbe following biljs were reported: By Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, from tbe commit tee on territories, for tbe admission of Dakota into tbe Union as a State. House calendar. Bills were reported from the committee on publi: buildings and grounds and referred to tbe committee of tbe whole, providing for the erection of public build ings at Shreveport, La., MacoD, Ga., and San Antonio, Texas.

By Mr. Horr, of Michigan (adversely), from tbe committee on civil service reform, to reduce tbe salaries of beads of depart ments aud members of Congress. Mr. Butterwortb, of Ohio, asked that tbe report of tbe committee be read. Mr. Randall objected. A little fun occasion ally was not objectioeable, bat be was opposed to tbe House eine turned into an amusement body. Mr. Warner, oi Tennessee, asked that the bill and report be referred to tbe commit tee of tbe whole. Bo ordered. Tbo consideration of tbe apportionment bill was resumed at 1:45. Mr. Prescott offered a resolution providing that when ever tbe House shall determine upon any number of members the same shall be ap portioned among tbe States on the same ba sis of division used at tbe forty-sixth Con gress and now known as the old method. Mr. Payne moved to amend so as to pro vide that tbo apportionment shall be based upon tbe “Beaton” method, and Mr. Converse to amend tbe "amendment so as to adopt tbe plan previously pre sented and favored by him. Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, submitted an amendment to the bill selecting 320 as tbe total number of representatives. At 3 o’clock the previous question was seconded and a vote was taken on tbe amendment offered by Mr. Converse to tbe resolution sudmitted by Mr. Prescott, and it was rejected. A vote was then taken on Mr. l’aync’s amendment, bat it only received 0 affirmative votes, while 148 members were recorded as being op posed to tbe adoption of tbe Seaton method of apportionment. Mr. Payne endeavored to obtain the yeas and nays bat was not successful. Mr. Prescott’s resolution, basing tbe representation on tbe old sys tem of apportionment, wa* then agreed to without a division. Tbe last bour of debate was opened witb a short speech by Mr. Horr, of Micbi- C m, who advocated a bill for 3z5, fol- wed by Mr. Tyler, of Vermont, who spoke in favor of fixiug tbe number at 2114. Mr. Springer stated that be wonld vote for 310, though be preferred the present number, 203. Tbe number 310 had been determined upon as one of mathe matical and political equality by the last Congress, and he therefore supported It. Mr. Cox favored 310, holding that it would be more fair than 325, which gave additional representatives to Iowa, Wis consin and Kansas, surely Republican States, and to South Carolina ana Texas, certainly Democratic, and to Hew York, which was likely to be Republican unless tbe Democrats behaved themselves better. Mr. Prescott closed tbe debate, and In the coarse of bis remarks reflected some what upon his colleague (Mr. Cox) for bis change of base from the position he took in the committee room. Tbe excuse given for such change was that tbe Hew York Legislature might fail to redistrict the State. His colleague evidently did not take pride in tbe position which Hew ! York maintained among tbe Suites of the | Union. He only viewed her Interest Prescott objected. “That,” shouted Cox, amid cries of “order” and ‘ vote,® “Is a cowardly proceeding-to attack a man at the last moment without giving him a chance to reply—most cowardly 1” The Speaker stated that the first vote wonld be taken on tbe amendment offered by Mr. Cox, fixing the representation at 307, and ruled that Mr. Cox coaid not modify it by changing the number to 316. Mr. Cox thereupon withdrew the amend ment!. The next vote was taken upon the amendment offered by Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, fixing tho number at 325, and it was. agreed to—yeas 102, nays 104. Mr. White, of Kentucky, was the only .Repub lican who voted in tbe negative, but the following Democrats voted in the affirm ative with the Republicans: Aiken, Beach, Beitzhoover, Bragg, Culberson, Curtin, Davidson, Deusicr, Ellis, Evins, Finley, Hobletzell, Jones of Texas, McLane, Mills, Reagan, Richardson of South Carolina, Shelley, Speer, Tillman, Upson and Wellborn. The next vote was taken upon qhe amendment offered to the third section of the bill by Mr. Beitzhoover, or Pennsyl vania, the object of which is to make it unlawful to divide any parish or connty in the formation of any representative district which shall consist of one county or parish. Rejected—yeas 117, nays 135. Mr.Springer, oi Illinois, moved to re consider tbo voto by which the House bad rejected an amendment offered by Mr. Colerick, amending section threo so as to provide that ir in any State in which the number oi Representatives is changed by this act tbe Legislature thereof shall net lave ada.tid its laws in time to enable Representatives to be elected to the forty-eighth Cougross, it shall b9 lawful for the Governor of such State, after it shall have been rodistneted, to provido for a special election for such Representatives. When this amendment was rejected, there was no interest paid to it. Mr. Colerick was unable to ob tain the yeas and nays, but Mr. Springer’s motion to reconsider was the signal fo£ a scene of great noise aud confusion. A motion to table the motion to reconsider was imme diately made on the Republican side, and the Democrats demanded the yeas and nays. Mr. Springer asked that the amendment be read, but a storm of ob jections came from the Republican side, and the Speaker ruled that it could only be read by unanimous consent. Instantly Messrs. Hooker, of Mississippi, Springer and Aiken, of South Carolina, were on their feet, and Insisting upon their right to hear the proposition upon which tbey were called to vote. Tho continuous rapping ot the Speaker’s gavel bad but little effect in allaytog the confusion, aud it was not until consent bad been given to the reading of tbe amendment that comparative quiet was restored. A vote was then taken on the motion to lay on the table the motion to reconsider the vote by which the House rejected Cole- rick’s amendment, and resulted yeas 131, nays 4—no quorum. Tim Democrats refrained from voting. Without further action, t be House, at 0:20, adjourned. Washington, February 16 —The Sen ate in executlvo session to day transacted no business except to refer to appropriate committees Dominations sent in by the President yesterday aud Tuesday, and to receive reports from committees on a number of nominations examined by them since tbe last executive session was held. Among the nominations reported back was that of Msjor Rochester to bo pay master-general of the army.

Owing to tbe great confusion which ex isted at tbo dose of yesterday’s session there were several ccrrcctions made of the Congressional Record, alter which the Speaker announced the regular order of business to bo the motion to lay on tho tabic a motion submitted at the close of yesterday’s session by Mr. Springer, of Illinois, to reconsider the vote by which the House rejected the amendment of fered to the-apportionment bill by Mr. Colerick, of Indiana, providing that in case the Legislature of any State where the representation is changed shall fall to redistrict the State before the time fixed for the election of Representatives, the governor shall be authorized to call a special election. The motion to table the motion to re consider was carriodby yeas 130, nays 114. The question then recurred on the substitution for the whole bill submitted by Mr Colerick, of Indiana, and which fixed the representation at 310. .Mr. Cox de manded tbe yeas and nays. ' Tellers on yeas and nays having been ordered, the Speaker appointed Mr. Cox and Mr. Pres cott as tellers, hut Mr. Cox declined to serve in that capacity with his colleague. Tbe substtitute was refected—yeas 94, nays 154. A substitute oflered by Mr. Joyce, of Vermont, providing for a House of 365, sas rejected without a division. The qnestion then recurred on the sub stitute otTered by Mr. Page, of California, providing that the Bouse shall be com posed of 319 members. This Mr. Page desired to withdraw, but it was tbe num ber favored by the Democrats and, objec tion was made. It was, however, rejected —yeas 99, nays 118, T^e previous ques tion wa; ordered on the final passage of the bill, and it passed without division. The text of the bill 1? w follows; Resolved, etc., That after the third of March, 1834, the House of Representatives shall be composed of 325 members, to bo apportioned among tbe sev- eral Slates as follws; Alabama 8, Arkansas 5, California 6, Col orado 1, Connecticut 4, Delaware 1, Florida 2, Georgia 10, Illinois 20, Indiana 13, Iowa 11, Kansas 7, Kentucky 11, Lou isiana 0, Maine 4, Maryland 0, Massachu setts 12, Michigan 11, Minnesota 5, Missis sippi 7, Missouri 14, Nebraska 3, Nevada 1, New Hampshire 2, Now Jersey 7, New 5 ork 34, North Carolina 9, Ohio 21, Ore gon 1, Pennsylvania 28, Rhode Island 2, South Carolina 7,Tennessee 10, Texas It, iVermont 2, Virginia 10, West Virginia 4, Wisconsin 9.

J acts and parts of acts inconsistent he; with are hereby repealed. The morniug hour having been di; pensed with tbo House, at 3:30, went i committee of tbs whole, Mr. Horr, Michigan, in the chair, upon the pti calendar. Tbe first bill on the calendar was authorizing the restoration of Thom Little to the army with the rank of caj tain. Tbo report shows that Little court-martialed on tbo charge of co: duct unbecoming an officer and gentle-' man, and on this ground Mr. McCook, ot New York, protested against his restora tion to the army. The House bad on last Friday passed a bill restoring Mr. Kirby to the army, and be wanted to raise his voice against the policy which was then pursued. Mr. Upson, of Texas, supported the bill, as the charge upon which Capt. Little had been dismissed was ridiculous and nothing more than the offspring of prejudice against volunteer officers. The charge against him wa that he had been seen on the pnbllc streets with a common woman. While he (Upton) did not desire to lower the high standard of morality in the army, he would like to have some one point out a person who could cast the first stone, and there was no other charge against the officer, though he bore scars received iu the service of his country. Mr. McCook read e xtracts from the re view of Judge Advocate-General McKee Dunn oftbe case of Thomas Little, com menting severiy upon tbe conduc of that officer and recommending that the finding of the court-martial be confirmed. He then sent to the clerk’s desk to have read an affidavit of Thomas Little, relative to tho charge "made against him, which was taken from the files of tbe War De partment. The language of the affidavit was so gross that many ladies left the gal leries and the reading was stopped by ob jections from Mr. Springer, of Illinois, and Mr. Moore, of Tennessee, on tbe ground that it was obscene, and it was stricken from tbe record. Tho affidavit, however, had its effect, and by an overwhelming voto tbe enacting clause of tho bill was stricken out, thus defeating the measure. Tbe next bill was one authorizing the President to place William P. Chambliss, lato major of the Fourth Cavalry, upocKhe retired list. On this bill the Democrats refrained from voting, thus leaving the committee without a quorum, whereupon the committee rose. The recommenda tion of the committee as to the bill rela tive to Thomas Little was agreed to by tbo House, and the enacting clause was stricken out. Mr. Valentine,chairman of the’eommit- tee on agriculture, reported the agricultu ral appropriation bill, and it was referred to the committee of tbe whole. It appro priates $392,480, being $06,770 less than asked for and $119,9S0 more than the ap propriation for the current year. The Speaker laid before, the Honsea message from tho President in further compliance with tho House resolution calling for the correspondence respeaing the war on tho Pacific, transmitting a re port of the Secretary of State and accom panying documents. Referred. Also Irom the Secretary oi War transmitting the progress report of the Mississippi River Commission. Referred.

Heriot collector of customers for the Dis trict of Columbia; Mathew K. Mister to be postmaster at Grenada, Mississippi. WASHINGTON. February 17.—In re sponse to a resolution which was recently adopted by tbe House, on motion of Rep resentative Belmont, of New York, the President to-day transmitted to the Honse a letter from the Secretary of State, ac companied by a mass of documents con cerning the correspondence In regard to the Peruvian Company. In a letter from Jacob It. Shepherd to Minister Horibut, dated New York, June 2,1881, Shepherd says: “Among the representative gentlemen witli whom I have already or shall soon bo in confidential negotiations in the premises, I may name such as E.

Representative Belmont’s resolution, in response to which tbe correspondence was sent to the House to-day, was offered in the House for the purpose of disclosing tbe names of parties supposed to be inter ested in the Peruvian Company ,which had been withheld by the State Depart ment when the correspondence was scut to tbe Senate some days since. WasnixoTON, February 18.—The Speaker laid beiore tbe House a resolution ot the legislative assembly of Utah opposing the anti-polygamy bill and urging that a com mission be appointed to goto Utah and in vestigate the affairs of that territory. Mr. ghsile^berger presented a petition of the American Baptist home mis;ion, represent ing one million persons, asking Congress to take early measures to remove and pro hibit polygamy throughout the United Btates.

Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, and Mr. Marsh, Of Illinois, earnestly defended the silver dollar, declaring that it was the true unit of value. They characterized tbe act of 1873 as an act passed for the purpose of de grading silver, and Mr. Marsh declared that the cry that the standard dollar was frandrlent wm false in fact and untrue in principle. Mr. 8pringer, of Illi^iis, offered an amendment uuthorizingwne issue of cer tificates on silver bullion, but it was ruled out on a point of order.

Toj§K«s County on a Cbarxe oi Xur-I | derous Assault. , tittle excitement was caused on rd street yesterday about noon by the ^^t of a man near Baer’s comer by offi cers Murphy and Mcore. Onr reporter in terviewed tho man at the barracks, and learned the following concerning the ar rest: The young man is A. 0. Broach, of Jones county. He says that sometime last Juno, while going to his work, he met a man named Page and his wifa. Mrs. Fage> he says, abused him for taking a knife from her daughter the evening before, and that he stood her abuse as long as he could and then he cursed her. She had him arrested on a charge of assault with intent to murder. He was bound over in the sum of fifty dollars, and when the court met was taken sick. He failed to pot in an appearance Od has been hid ing out all this time. He had seen Page rnd effected a compromise, he agreeing to pay Mrs. Page $40 or a mule and the costs ot the case, provided she would drop tbe suit. He came into towo yesterday for the purpose, he says> of raising the money from A. B. Small & Co. Sheriff Steve Phillips, of Jones, happened to see him, and called on the officers to arrest him. Tbe sheriff tells a somewhat different story. He says Broach fled the county and went to Texas. He returned a short time ago, but be has been unable to set eyes on him before yesterday. He says farther, that Broach is under indictment for the offonse, and that he raised a plow share to strike Mrs. Page with. He was taken to Clinton yesterday, end will be lodged in jail to await trial by the April term of the court in Jones county. ATLANTA LETTBB. rived in Macon Captain Sharpe of the road was called up and the news imparted to him. He hunted np Liuu'enant Wiley of the police force, and the party then went into the car. There were three ladies on board and about a dozen men as passengers. The gentlemen consented to be searched, bat nothing was found upin them. As Mr. Schoff was compelled to go on, there was nothing left for him to do but to leave with Lieutenant Wiley a description of tbe articles stolen and awsit devoiop- rents. He will be at Marietta for ten ays. The vest was of English worsted, olive green color, made with whim thread. In the poekot was an open face gold watch, with the Setters composing the netne ol “Alfred Schoff” on the faoe, instead of the Roman numerals. The chain was a gold cable, with gold-mounted rubber pencil and a moss agate charm. In another pock et was the roll of bills. As to who committed the robbery Lien- tenant Wiley ha* his theory, which he will work out in due time. It is quite certain that none of tbe passengers Lad anything to do with it. Colton Futures—A Society Scandal and a Coalition Governor. Atlanta, February 11.—You may not be lieve it, bnt the sun ia actually shining here once more and it brings gladness to every heart, exoept those that live in the bosoms of tho parties who had their little change on cotton last week. There were several who lost heavily, and I have yet to see a set of men tormented with the blues more than the crowd that hangs around theexchango. The loss per bale from Saturday night last to Monday was more than three dollars. I know one young man who lost every cent he possessed in the world and he was com fortably well.off and to-dayhe rushes around the streets a perfect picture of despair. It is currently rumored here that Mr. H. L Kimball intends to organize a stock com pany for the purpose or starting a daily paper. I can get nothing definite about the matter at all, but my confidence in Kimballa3alive, energetio man warrants' the assertion that, if he does start one, it willboasuooess—at least until tbe stock runs short. There is a nice looking, smooth faoed, rosy cheeked, light haired and blue eyed young man in this city, who belongs to that class of young men that are the abom ination and disgust of every city of any size, known as “mashers,” who took upon himself to write a note to a certain lady living on a fashionable street, fihrronnded with fashionable neighbors, and asked tho delightful, excruciating, irresistible pleas ure of escorting her to the theatre. She accepted the invitation, knowing it was wrong, for she is a married woman. But in justice to her I will state that she was, at the time she accepted the invitation, confident that her better half would be at such a distance that his eyes could not see nor his ears hear of the wrong that she intended to heap upon him. The night for the consummation of tho engagement arrived. The young man called at the house, rang the bell and as - ed the gentleman who came to the door if Mrs. So and So was in. The gentleman answered in tbe affirmative, and asked tho young man in. After being seated in the parlor several minntee, and the lady not patting in an appearance, the young man was begining to feel anxious. He began to get agitated, as it were. Those feelings are perfectly natnral under the circum stance'. At last be hears foot step* com ing towards the parlor. No donbt he straightened his moustache, smoothed his cravat, pressed his golden locks and eat preparatory to receiving his charming friend. Ttie foot steps drew nearer the door, until at last the form of the same gentleman who bad invited him in stood in the parlor door. He called the yonng man to him and requested an interview in tbe back yard. The yonng man granted his request, and oat into tne back yard and into the daikness this feathered-headed, insignificant, indisputa ble “mash” followed. When in the most secluded portion of the back yard, the gentleman faced the young man and told him that the lady be had written a note to was his wife, “and now,” said he, “I am going to give you a sound thrashing.” Whereupon he trailed the younq man unmercifully and then led him to the front door and kicked him down the front steps. The young man made no resistance whatever. For the sake of the honor of the gentleman in the affair, alt names are suppressed. It has taught the young man a lesson which he won’t forget soon. It if now a certain fact that Gen.Ii. J. Gnrtrell will be tie coalition candidate for Governor. I am sorry there ia no man in Georgia that I have a higher regard for than Gen. Gartrell, and it u a pity that he ehonld allow him*elf to be led by the nose by a party that can't cherish even a single hepe of success. Oat. Tbe Fewee qncstloa. Miss ns. Estrone: I see that the f enoe question is still undecided. Why is this thus ? It is because some men in position are astraddle of the question and are afraid to say one way or the other for fear of be ing politically hurt ? Bnt few men can ride two horses without being thrown from one or the other. Bob Btickney and Jim Rob inson could do it, but I hardly think any of our official* can successfully. Look out, now, that this straddling business doesn’t pan out the wrong w;yto the performers. Tbe Ho Fence question. Other counties besides onr own are agi tated upon this question. We gave an earnest and lengthy artiole on the “feno side,” by Captain John P. Fort. We now append the report of three practioal men who have investigated this whole question on the ground where it is in operation. They are from Hail county. We,the undersigned members of the committee appointed to go to Suuth Caro lina to look into the practice! working* of tho stock or no fenoe law, make the follow ing report: We spent two days in traveling through tbe connties of Oconee and Anderson, and conversed freely with the people of all clssseeand co motions. Every lamer we conversed with heartily endorsed the no fenoe or stock law, and tbe following are some of the reasons which w re offered: First, it ia promotivo of harmony be tween tbe landlord and the tenant, by re moving all causes for differences and dis putes about keeping up the fences, cleaning out fence corners, ana the general repair ing of tbe same—^thereby greatly simplify- iujycortract* for rent, reducing the labor required of the tenant, increasing the pro duction of the farm, and swelling the profits of both landlord and tenant. Second, we found that wh-re tbe land lord has pastures, houses and land, be has no trouble in seenring tenants, and that tenants have more time to work m their crops—not to repair fences, etc. We are informed by good citizens that the crops grown on the fence rows would more than pay the taxes on an average farm and the tuition of the children of an ordinary family* Third, that there is a great airing of the crops from the ravages of stock breaking the fenoes, and that while there are not as M eows as before, tbey are much belter, Bz a larger quantity of milk and but ter, and the beef is of a much better quahty. As a proof of this, the day we were in An derson, beef was worth four cents per round and butter twenty cents per pound. Fourth, we learned that since the stock law went into operation, there has been a ltrgo increase in the pricelof real estate, and a considerable nse in the rates of labor, bnt no increase in the rates of rent; and lastly that litigation has greatly de creased-one trial justioe stating to us that be had thirty oases before the law was passed, to where he has one now. All of which is respectfully submitted. 8. O. Jackson, O. B. Thompson, Lkanpeb Johns (col.) Fees ssd Doctors. Tbe fees of doctors is an item that very many persons are interested in Just at present.
