Twenty years ago everybody was trying to “Jump Jim Crow.” Not long afterward they abandoned that amus ing avocation and learnt the diiTerencc be tween sharps anil flats by paying Ole Bull's prices to hear Ole Boll play a violin.

Macon, Ga., February 20,1382.—Be ing on my way front Florida to New Or leans, 1 stopped over at a pl$ce I tad never seen before, Macon, in Georgia, named for old Nathyiiel Macon, the North Carolina Spcakerot Congress, who said that “firt-figbts and bad roads were the making of a good militia.” He was a strict constructionist, and a great comfort to Mr. Jefferson, and hence the Jeffersonian party named a city for him in which ail the streets are one hundred and eighty feet wide, or two hundred feet, including the sidewalks. Every block has a State sovereignty of its own; nobody can quar rel here between curbstones, and a man cannot recognlzo his wife across the street. In the middle of these vast saudy-clay streets they set two-story fire engine Looses which look like little urinals or watch- boxes at a short distance away, so estranged are they from the house lines, yet a lire could hardly cros$ one of these streets without losing its way. Neverthe less, the wide streets are pleasing in a hot latitude, on the latitude of Charleston and Shreveport, La. They seldom con tain shade, though sometimes set with live oaks, black oaks, gum or olive trees, scatteringly. None of the streets are paved ; they cut up deeply in rains, and t a few hours after It ceases, become, as the two cotton mills ot Macon, 1 told me good as ever. They have good, high side- they ran sixteen thousand spindles, used suirived me in their impotent age, think ing less of my dylug agonies, even then, tbau of their own beaten consistency and prejudices?’ ” The ancient Monroe Bank, of dark col umns and low steps, is the city hall now where once the Georgia war Legislature met. As Milledgeville, the ruined State capital, is to the north, itself ungratefully requited for having harbored the seceding Legislature, so the prison-pen of Ander- sonvllle, is about as far to the South, where young ghosts, the pets of other sires and mothers, rise in sculpture to ask no riddle while the blue sky of heaven has become the common breath of human man. "But for the hero, when his sword Has won the battle for the free, Thy voice soundsliko a prophet’s word, And in its hollow tones arch aid. The thanks of millions yet to be.” FIGURES. The cotton mills of Macon are its chief institutions, and very successful, resting, I think, upon tho cheapness of the labor, the saving of fuel to warm the mills, and the supply of cotton without middlemen’s charges. Mr. Hanson, one of the proprietors of walks, and being at the base of tall, steep hills, are frequently closed in the vista by some square, column-surrounded, stately facade of a private house, pitched up ainoDg the clouds like a Prince of Flcsole or Arcetri gazing down on Fiorence. This is an unexpected feature to a Northern stranger in towns be low the middle of Georgia—tbeir al most mountainous surroundings, and Ma con has as many hills as Home or Cin cinnati, apparently denuded parts of a eeneral uplands, through which the rains and rivers have washed their vales and worn down aprons and plains and bot toms. Belog a very well built town, with good red bricks made on the spot, the broad checker board of these giant- stepped streets is clothed with massive chessmen of churches, public baildings, business blocks, mills, depots and porti- coed dwellings, the latter often sixty feet square, with colonnades of doric or col umns of brick and plaster, finished white orgiay, almost inclosing them. Abun dant shade yards and ofieu forest trees iu them fill up the gaps between the struct ures, and a strong sense of social lifo and worldly ease Is conveyed by them. The mayor, Mr. Felix Corput, who called upon me soon after I reached Macon, said: “While we do not show the rapid busi ness growth of Atlanta, wo.have that which is almost forgotten in the make-up of Atlanta—Asocial foundation. People here are happy in their, homes ; almost everybody ow. Kn thousand bales of cotton a year and employed four hundred hands, and that in Georgia there were thirty cotton mills, with over six thousand hands.

Among the curiosities of every large city, is the gaze- at-the-glrls-young-man.

Raised, ns this rice is, by coolie labor, it is proving a serious and dangerous rival to the product of Louisiana and South Carolina. Twelve car loads of Hawaiian rice, about 1,000 barrels, were recently delivered in an Ohio town, ut the same, or less than oar domestic product was selling for at this point, adlflerence against the Louisiana and Carolina product of three-eighths to one-half cent per pound, and this, after paying freight nearly across the con tinent. Within a year one lotof a thousand packages of Hawaiian rice was purchased in New York aticss price than an equal grade of Carolina or Louisiana rice could be purchased at the producing point. Before the treaty went into effect Louisiana hail a large rice trade with Uie far West from Denver to Salt Francisco, which was increasing every year. It is fair to estimate that rice would have sold at least one- half cent higher last season if we could have had the Pacific coast and the tnulc wont of the Missouri river—heavy rice-consuming regions In consequence of their large Chinese popula te 'll — to lake .iir the surplus. This wouldhavi Amounted th fully $50,000 on the crop, which represent# the sum lost by Louisiana on rice alone in consequence of this treaty, not to men tion that our cultivation of this staple would have greatly increusod under this stimulus.

Living is also cheap here, aud yet busi ness is so expanding that a good lot for a residence will cost in any eligible situa tion $3,000.” Macon was incorporated aud laid out as at present about 1831; it was the capital of Georgia during a part of the rebellion, and the residence after the war of the formerly United States Senators, Iverson and Howell Cobb. Cobh’s residence is a plastered brick bouse, with double win dows, steps leading ovallv up to its front door, and an iron fence-around his yard at the street corner, with green trees In closed there. He had two hundred or more slaves before the war, all of which he lost, of course, and also his brother, Thomas Cobh, who is said to have been abler tban himself, and who fell in battle. He was an estimable man of rather inteuse opposition and ambition, with no knowl edge of money, yet he obtained three suc cessive fortunes, the last one left him by a brother-in-law, who was upon his staff, and, therefore, he never ceased to be fairly comfortable. It was far different with ex-Senator Iverson, whose residence at Macon is painted out, a small, aged negro or poor man’s cabin of one story, on the mias matic bank of the treacherous Ocmlugee river, which frequently rises from its suck holes to be a muddy flood, aad on this stream Mr. Iverson played the lum berman and shook with the ague and break bone fever. Neither of these men expected a war would come, but they played with fire, and suddenly it flashed up and burnt their substance. But Cobb went to the war like a man, and though lie was little of a soldier, never com plained like Toombs, nor revolted like Brown. He was a partaker of the conso lation called Bourbon, and fell dead iu 1808 of a stroke of apoplexy in New York City, leaving two sons lawyers and one a planter. He :s considered one of tbe three great men of Georgia, or next below Wm. II. Crawford. One of the citizens said to me: “I thought, it was a pitiful sight to see Mr. Iverson lying down with the fever in that comfortless river shanty, but he talked just like a Senator, sick as he was.” Forty miles or so north of Macon is Milledgeville, where the ordinance of secession was passed. Howell Cobb wa3 unquestionably tbe leading actional mau to urge it on, while Joseph E. Brown, the-Governor, was the most precipitate secessionist in tbe South; he wauted, they say, to become the president of the Con federacy, while Cobb’s heart was already broken failing to become president of the United States. Meantime the Faislaff of tbe State, and the most perfect representa tion of Falstaff the United States has ever produced in public life—Robert Toombs— wanted to bo either president of the Con federacy or commander-in-chief of Its army. At this recollection the most sen sitive Confederate is fain to smile at tbe ludicrous side of a revolution with such pretensions. MeanwbilejA. H. Stephens, not to be left behind in- eccentricity, got np and made the corner-stone speech, saying to the Christian world in effect: “We are going to make liberty an imputation, and slavery tbe light of Christ’s world, so recognize us and de spair !” Such were the four leaders of Georgia into secession. At that time Brown was a new quantity, made gover nor on a compromise—in reality, on i shrewd plan, he being a master of acci dents, and going around with a aav of nights to saw nearly through the limb where some contemporary peacock is roosting. Joseph’s favorite weapon is the band-saw. Brown played with the war as a political opportunity ; to Toombs it wasnothingbutthe circus fire and the clown in tbe presence of a larger audi ence ; to Cobb it was the end of opportu nity, the flight from Paradise. He loved the places of honor and power around Washington, and had joined in the great game of bluff, stacked by his two hun dred to three hundred negroes, till they called him to produce them and let the diee of battle be thrown. Ah ! The hollow eyes that then began to deepen, where success would be ruin to the next genera tion and failure ruin to their own general ion. In the midat of this hullabaloo the 'in valid mystic, A. H. Stephens, began to idealize like the moukey in the ark on the advantages of rain. Any situation suited him if be was only allowed to formu late on it. So here was a comic paradise lost, like Milton Illustrated by Cbam, or John Leech caricaturing the sublime. And on the pablic square of Macon stands only the real hero of it all, the Confederate soldier boy, that gallant tighter tor tbe follies of his fathers, and whose errors he can scarcely permit himself to acknowl edge to-day, though in his reflective mo- men's it must intrude that for a negro his father’s generation staked his life, and re fused to let that negro take his place to stop the bullet. They risked tbeir sons but not tbeir boudsmeu, and aban doned the Confederacy only when it demanded tbe negroes for soldiers to fight against their own prospects. To me it seems, as I look up at the dignified marble lineaments of that Georgia sol dier boy, bis musket at rest, his cloak to shield him from this warm February suu, hi- slouched hat turned carelessly up, and his countenance wearing tbe riddle of bis status and fate, that he is ask ing, “What do I owe my politicians and girls-young-man may bo seen on the lead ing thoroughfares.

Mr. Butler presented a petition from all the bank presidents, tbe president of the Chamber of Commerce and a number of leading business men of Charleston, South Carolina, asking a modification of the treaty with tbe Hawaiian Islaud.s Mr. Gonusn offered a resolution dirert- ing.tbe Postmaster General to transmit a statement giving the amount expended during the fiscal year ending June 30tn, 1831, for special facilities for fast mails, a list of the railroad companies receiving the same, the amount paid to each com- paDy, the additional service forot?bcd by each company, if any, and to what ex tent the service has been expediaed.

Adopted. Mr. Vance offered a resolution reciting that the cost ot collecting the internal revenue tax in the sixth collection dis trict of North Carolina is nearly sixty per cent., beiDg greater than that of any other district in the United States; that many serious charges against tbe officials are openly made iu the newspapers and elsewhere and are generally believed, and providing lor the appointment by the President of the Senate of a committee of three to Investigate the charges and com- pla’nts, with power to compel the attend ance of witnesses, etc. * Mr. Sherman regarded the resolution as extraordinary and in tho nature of an executive order. He supposed it referred to a matter pending in executive session and before the committee on finance. He would not object to calling on the Treas ury Department for information, but he certainly objected to a recital about which the Senate could know notliing. Mr. Yance said he had twice applied for the information he desired—once by Sen ate resolution and then by letter to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, aud in each instauce had encountered a clear and unmistakable evasion of bis demand. the Commis, statement that the reports of the examining officers in the district were not included iu the response to the Senate res olution because these did not contaiu charges, but werO criticisms of the agents of the department on current work Of ti; distlic’, ana tbeir suggestions for an im provement of tbe service. These reports, being those of Special Agents Brooks aud Kellogg, Mr. Vance said were matters which ho had specifically called lor. The matter had been a public scandal in North Carolina forten years, and as he wanted to get at the truth of it he would insist upon a vote on the resolution at the earliest moment. Thu matter was laid over un der the objection of Mr. Sherman. Mr. Conger, from the committee on commerce, reported favorably, with ameudments, the house bill to promote the efficiency ol the life saving service, and the saving of lifo ftom shipwrecks, Tho amendments cousiat of tho two sec tions of the Senate bill which provide a pension lor two years for the widows and children of keepers and surfmen who may lose their lives while in scrvico, and lor every gaze goes a smile, a peculiar smile, a sort of a cross bit.veeu the lopsided smirk ot a Guitcau aud tbe mithetic sim per of a Buutbornc. This combination is bestowed lavishly. Tho modest blush is brought to the cheek of virtue by the in solent glare of theyoung man. He brushes against the girls and fairly forces bi3 gazo into their faces. The gaze-at-the-girls- young-man will stoop and look under a hat iu order to discover what kind of face is hidden beneath it. He has no hesita tion in doing all sorts of uncivil things in order to satisfy his girl-gazing, and that is why he is noted for impudence, impolite ness and stupidity. Houses Built of Cotton.—Of all substances apparently the least likely to i«e uwtrureu wmre m service, anu ror be used in the construction of a fire-p?oofj the of salancstokeepers and building, cotton would, perhaps, take the members of crews during ths Umo of sick- first rank, and paper tbesecond; and yet I ° r ^ lsabll , ity ™, u } l J n 3 ft>“ both these materials are actually being I SJ disease contracted in the line of duty, employed for the purpose indicated, anil Placed on tbe calendar. At 1.40 the Seu- their use will probably extend. Com pressed paper pulp is successfully used in the manufacture of doors, wail paneling*, and for other similar purposes, with the result that all risk of warping and crack ing is obviated, while increased light ness is attained and the fear of dry-rot is forever banished. Fapiermacbe, after having served a useful purpose in an unobtrusive manner for years as a ma terial for small trays, paper knives and other such light articles, has now sudden ly assumed a still more important position in the industrial world. A still more sudden and striking advance has been made in the employment of cotton a3 a building material. A preparation called celluloid, in which cotton is a leading in gredient, has been used lately as a substi tute for ivory in ihc manufacture of such articles as billiard balls and paper- cutters, and now a Canadian manufac turer has Invented a process by which compressed cotton may be used, not merely for doors and windqw frames, but for the whole facade of large buildings. The enormous and increasing demand for paper for its normal uses as a printing and writing material prevents tho extend ed use of papier-mache as a building ma terial, for which it is so well suited in so many ways; but the production of cotton is practically unlimited. I Dinner Cards—At a recent dinner party in New .York city some odd dinner cards were used. They were exact imi tations of square soda crackers, made of pale silk filled with down and sachet pow der. The edges were slightly colored, as a cracker is browned in the baking, and tho print of tbe cutting stamp was copied by tbe silk being stitched together in places. In the center, where the name of the manufacturer usually is, was the name of the guest. As they lay upon tho pure white linen by the plates they looked like such fresh, good soda crackers that it was a disapppintment to find that they would not break and crumble into brittle mouth fuls. At the Opera.—If we bad the man agement of chorus singing in an opera we would insist on the lean and scraggy ones keeping more in the hack ground. Aud those short, fat ones, shaped like a hogs head perched cn piano legs, wouldn’t be brought so conspicuously to the front either. It is a s'ruggle between these two extremes of ugliness as to which shall oc cupy the most prominent positions, while the handsome and shapely women are crowded to tho rear. No matter if tho homely ones are the best singers, beauty should be at tbe front whether it can sing well or not.—Cincinnati Saturday Night A Lucky Miller who will Grind satnr* dnya. Mr. I. M.

Specula tive capital, through fear of offense to foreign nations, withheld the bravo words which the representatives of the nation’s power, energy and honor had spoken. The United Stztes would not move vrheu honor, commerce and trade demanded protection, lest, forsooth, jealousy aud 111 will in some foreigu power should be created. Was there a lower depth to be reached ? Let it be said to the honor of the late administration that it seemed to have been imbued with the doctrines ot the old patnots, whose deeds illustrated with lustre the greatest and brightest pages of American history. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, was tho next speaker. The people of the country, he said, bad arrived at two conclusions in reference to our foreign policy. First, that citizens, whether naturalized or na tive, 'Should have full aud complete protection at home and abroad. Second, that the Monroe doctrine should be As serted and maintained at every cost and hazard, even to the issue of the cannon’s mouth. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Hewitt alluded to a former speech of Mr. Orth, of Indiana, aDd brought that gentleman to his feet, followed by Mr. Holman and others. Finally Mr. Kasson recalled the House to the bill under con sideration, but his own remarks were somewhat extended, aud directed prin cipally to a defense of the present admin istration from tho criticisms of Mr. Whitthorne. Other speeches were made, nominally upon the subject of the bill, but all of a political character. The committee rose without action. The Senate amendments io the post route bill were concurred in, and then, at 4:50, the House adjourned. Washington, March 3.—In the Sen ate, Mr. Butler presented, read at length and explained a memorial from the bench, bar, executive officers, commercial boards, professors of colleges, journalists and others, numbering in all one hundred citizens of South Carolina, for national aid for tbe education of the youth of that State, and in support of his bill on Ute subject. He said the State had the frame work of as good a free school system as any in the Union, but tbe great difficulty in tbe way of realizing ail that waa de sired from that system was tbe want of money, and it would be a great hardship to tax tbe people for school purposes more of tho discovery of the mouth of the Mississippi by LaSalle. The committee say tbe event to be commemorated is of great historical interest and eminently worthy of recognition, but they think Congressmen ought not be required to absent themselves frsm the sessions of Congress at a time when the public busi ness urgently dtmauds their presence. The recommendation of the committee was agreed to. An order for adjournment from to-day until Monday was agreed to. The bill to authorize the compilation and printing of a naval history of the war of the rebellion came up in order on the calendar and was passed. Tbe Senate bill to amend section 4,453 of the revised statute, relating to the li cense fees of officers of steam vessels was also passed. It reduces tho charge for certificates of license of masters, engteflers, pilots and mates of steam vessels to fifty cents each, instead of five dollars, ; The Senate bill creating a joint commit tee to provide for the erection ot a statute of Chief Justice Marshall in Washington was taken up and passed. The discussion of the Chinese bill was conutined at 1:45 p. m., and Mr. Farley continued his re marks. After he had concluded the de bate took a colloquial turn, several Sena tors participating. The discussion lasted until 4:15 when an executive session was moved, it becoming evident from the number of speakers and amendments that the bill could not be concluded to-day. The friends of tho bill, however, endeav ored to force a vote, but failed, aud the bill went over until Monday. After a brief executive session the Senate ad journed till Monday. HOUSE. Mr. O’Neill, of Pennsylvania, presented a resolution of the Tobacco Board of Trade of*Philadelphia asking that Con gress either pass promptly the bill alter ing tbe tax ou tobacco and cigars, or agree to tbe joint resolution to the effect that it is unwise to tamper with the tax during the present Congress. Referred. Also, tbe resolution of the Philadelphia Board of Marine Underwriters in favor of tbe bill potting the signal service ot' the United States army on a permanent bat§, Re ferred. Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, introduced a bill making appropriations for rectifica tion, repair, completion and preservation of the levees of certain forks of the Mis sissippi river, in accordance with the recommendations, plans, etc., of the Mis sissippi River Commission. Referred. It'makes an appropriation of $a,iiS,0u0 Tor initial work to constructing a channel and protecting tbe caving banks in six reaches of the river, constituting a lengtl, of 181 miles, namely: New Madrid reach, 40 miles; Plum Point reach, 30 miles, Memphis reach, 16 miles; Helena reach; 30 miles, Choctaw -bend, 35 miles, and Lake Providenco reach, 30 miles. It also appropriates $2,500,000 for building and repairing levees and closing gaps of levees, and $500,000 for tbe rectification of the Atchafalaya mouth of Red river. On motion of Mr. Richardson, of New York, a bill was passed reducing the li cense fees of masters, chief engineers and first class pilots of steam vessels from $10 to $1.50, and of chief mates, engineers and pilots of inferior grade from $5 to 75 cents. At tbe concius!on of the morning hour, devoted to reports of private bills, the House at 12:45 went into committee of the whole, Mr. Belford, of California, in tbe chair, on tbe private calendar. At 3:50 tbe committee rose and the House passed two or three personal relief bills. The committco on foreign affairs was accorded leave to sit during the ses sions of the House, in order to carry on its investigation on the subject of the Chi- li-Peru correspondence. Adjourned. ashington, March 3.—The Presi- nominated William L. Scruggs, ot ‘uedrgia, United States consul at Panama. Assistant Attorney-General Ker has completed the preparation of the indict ments in all the star route cases so far considered by the grand jury. There are seventeen ot these indictments; fourteen of them have already been indorsed by the grand jury as true bills. The remain der) which include those against Brady, will be presented in court to-morrow. The iudictment against Brady, Dorsey, et al., is a most voluminous document and contains one of the largest counts ever prepared. The count exceeds in length any in the famous Tweed cases in New York, which were somewhat re markable inMrat respect. It contains one hundred special allegations of fraudulent acts and cover transactions in twenty-one post routes. Tbe following is a copy of a telegram sent by the Secretary or State to Lowell to-day: Lowell, 3finisler, London:—The Pres ident and people or the United States con gratulate Her Majesty on having been providentially protected from assassina tion.

Atlanta latter. Atlanta, March 4.—It ia in the air. dSfou can heur it, but you can’t see it. fWn ante is tumor. This is what wa heatVrom it this week: One of the most churning and beautiful belles of this city iaJjriBught to be a “secret bride,” i. e., hyynen secretly married to a New York jni man. This is the way in whioh iiJSk accomplished. The young man waa tiMng theyoung lady One evening, snd^jjT the course of the conversation, a AMbject was brought up by the sMfoung man, which, it appears, had been dis cussed before by thi3 pair. It was for her to fiy with him then at that very moment, while tbe old man and old lady wete wan dering through the enohantiug, mysterious fields ot dreamland, to tbe home of some sleepy-headed old justice of the peaoe, and there, during tjie intervals between the gapes Much would open his mouth to such an cAent that you oould, if stand ing ndjir, discover the number ot his bro- gans, be made one. The young lady, blushing with that grant sense of honor which is characteristic with her, modestly declined tho offer with her lips, but uafhonghtedly -of course it eoalu not have been any other way-extended her band, which was, together with the splendid opportunity, grabbed by the young man, and in the deep solitude of a moon lips night, within the sitting-room of a juatne of the peace in this city, after waitiD? for the J. P. to get fixed, they were made one. Thus the story was told to me by one who asserts uositively that he heard it irom the “seoret gftom’s” own lips. The young lady is etui on the carpet, and the young man is roaming the green brocaded, and same cut bias, prairies of the far west. Bat he said be was com ing back soon, and I believe him,for I have great faith in the murmuring of all brooks. Wheu he does come back, it is thought be will be reoaived by the young lady’s father with open arms, and a club in each hand. Oat. Balnbrlace Letter Bainbbidqk, Ga, March 2.—Jacob Har rell, tax oollector of Decatur county, ab sconded some days ago, carrying with him between three and five thousand dollars of the county taxes. The State loses noth ing, being fully protected by a good bond; but the county, owing to the neglect of the county commissioners to take a bond for the eounty taxes, will lose tbe entire amount. _ The defalcation of Mr. Harrell was great surprise to the people generally. He hrdbeen oollector for several terms and no one questioned his integrity. His ac quaintances attribute this lapse to whisky, wh ch doubtless had much to do with it. The time is not far distant when voters will regard temperance ns an indispensa ble qualification to political preferment at their hands. The county wffl now be afflicted with an election. Several candidates have an nounced themselves and the end is not yet. There seems to be a general disposition to let them all go before the people on their own merits, unhampered or unbelped as the case may be by nominating conven tions. Night before last wa were visited by a young hurricane that tore down fences, uprooted trees and did many other things of like character, a* is oestomary with suoh visitants. A small frame house in the suburbs of the city was blown over and a nostro woman who redded in it was killed. Her boy was also injured, though not seriously. There was said to-day to Northern men seven thousand five hundred acres of unim proved pine land, for one dollar and fifty cents per aorv. This is »the largest land sale that has been made in Decatur county for years, and tbe price is above the aver age, too. Speaking of prices, VIr. G. F. Westmoreland, a young attorney, sold yes terday his pointer dog, raised and trained by himself, to a Northern sportsman for one hundred and seventy-five dollars. These Northerners seem to nave plenty of tbe dross about them. We have plenty of wild land and dogs, and don’t hesitate to exchange with them. Bcexbo. Somethin* Tea Mmy Want, Mr. George W.

Two Cray Form Ma MfstBsr loro iMffOlstsyMOi Yesterday the old Macon fo* hunter, Emanuel Hunt, accomplished a feat eel'* dom done in fox hunting, that of running two foxes together and capturing them. Emanuel has been engaged in hunting foxes, oposeunA and oooua for nine years. He has a pack ot fourteen hounds whioh be is ready to match against any other pack in the South. It ia composed of tbe July, Bed Ball and Birdsong breeds, and one genuine English fox hunting hound which bo declares wJl clean np anything that gets before him. Ysstsrday morning, Emannel gathered a crowd of men and taking hie hounds start ed out on a big bunt for foxes. They jumped two and they sprang forward to gether and kept so for about three hours. The race waa exciting, the doga kaeping up with ths procession, Emanuel drinking m the munio of the far away yelping. When about ton miles from the storting point, and in the vicinity of Bolingbroke, the foxei parted oompany, and toan the dogs piled m on one of them. Some of the hounds who had followed the other fox heard tbe squall of the oaptured and came up, but whan be was killed tbe English dog, Jake, led off after the other, followed by ton ol the bounds. They soon oloaed in on him and the rvoe was ovj;. The skins ware brought iuta town and exhibited te trophies of the doable capture. Emanuel is “a drayman lor George 8. Obear, and when be take* a notion toga hunting puts soma one on his dray and takes to tbe woods. Daring the fell he hunts ’poMums end coons, ana in this way makes a living. He is pro ad of hie dogs, and to go bunting with him is a rare treat. The skins of the game he catehee bring in I bn. a small revenue, but he says the repu- intormediato portion of the rente and re- ration of hie doge and the 'fowns are as WasniNOTON, March 4.—In the House, Mr. Hiscock, of New York, presented the conference reporter on the immediate defi ciency bill. He explained that the Senate had increased to the extent of $473,000 the appropriations made by tbe bill, but that the conferees of that body had receded from amendments to the amount of $222,- 000. The bill as it now stood therefore in creased the appropriations made by the House $250,000. The report waa agreed to. Mr. Miller, of Pennsylvania, from tbe committee on elections, reported a resolu tion dif-missing the contested election ease of Smith vs. Robertson, from the sixth dis trict of Louisiana. Adopted. The House at 1:15 went into committee of the whole, Mr. Riee, of Massachusetts, in the chair, on the consular and diplomatio appropriation bill, general debate being limited to one honr. At the conclusion of the debate the bill was read foi amendments. One by Mr. Brewer, of Michigan, to strike cut the provision for a consul at Lisbon was adopted. At 5:10 the consideration ot the bill was oonolnded, and it was reported to the House. Tho previous question was or dered on tbe passage of the bill, but no farther action was taken. The House at 5:20 adjourned. Washington, March 4.—The Senate com mittee on commerce this afternoon com pleted theit consideration of the bill intro duced by Senator Vest to incorporate the Inter-Oceanic Ship Railway Oompany and for other purposes, (commonly known as the Eads bill), and authorized Vest to re* port it to the Senate with a recommenda tion for its passage, with sundry amend ments. The bill, as amended, provides for the guarantee by the United States of a div idend of G per cent per annum for one hundred years on fifty million dollar* of the capitat stock of the.comptmy (the total stock being seventy-five millions), and stipulates that in return for this aasiatanee the company shall transport gratia for ninety-nine years the mail?, war vesrels and all other property of the United States, and shall transport American merchant vessels for one-half the rate charged by the com pany on all other commerce, except that of Mexioo. It is farther provided thatforany advance.made by onr government under its guarantee the oompany is to give its bonds, payable in fifteen years, without interest, whioh bonds, in the event of their non-paymeut at maturity, are to be re ceivable for tolls on any Amerioan vessel with 10 per cent, added to their full value. Tbe guarantee is to attach to the extent of $5,000,000 when ton miles of the ship rail way and the terminal works connected therewith shall have been completed and tested in the presence of government engineers by tbe safe transportation of a loaded ship, weighing 2,503 tons, from the harbor to the terminus of a tid ton-mile section and back again, at an average speed of six miles per hour. Another five millions are to be guaranteed when an other ten-mile section, with necessary terminal works, shall have been completed and totted in the same manner at the other end of the railway. A commission of engineers appointed by the president of tbe United States is then to examine the Windsor, Erg., 2 p. m., March 2.— As the Queen was entering her carriage this evening, a man in the station yard deliberately fired a pistol at her. Tbe man, who was a miserable looking object, was immediately seized by several po licemen aud taken to tbe Windsor police station. No one was hurt. The man gave his name as Roderick MacLean. The Queen drove off to tbe Cattle imme diately after the was fired at, and the miscreant was followed to the station by a large crowd of reople, from whom lie was rescued with difficulty. The Queen arrived at Windsor at about 5:25 p. m. She bad been in London since Tuesday, where tbe gave a drawing room on Wed nesday in honor of Princess Helena of Waldeck, who U to marry Prince Leopold. A crowd of people assembled at Bucking ham Palace this morning in hopes that the Queen would tJ riv ? 9 1, l of the psople was at cordial as usual. 8p.3T.—There was a lirge crowd of spectators awaiting the Queen’s arrival at Windsor. The Queen walked across the platform or the railway station to her car riage, which was waiting to tase her to the Castle. John Brown had already ascended to his seat behind tbe cairiage, when a man standing at the entrance to the station yard) among a number of spectators, pointed a pisio'. at tbe carriage ‘ To judge from the report, the pt^v was not heavily loaded. Tbe feu, who was probably not aware at bad happened, was immediately ’riven to the Castle, but before she passed the man had beeu seized by tbe superin tendent of the borough police, who was standiug near by. He was also violently seized by tbe crowd, and was only res cued from them whon three or four police men came to the superintendent’s assist ance. The pistol was captured by one of the crowd. MacLean, who waa m iserabiy clad, was taken into High street, aud thence conveyed to the police station in a cab. MacLean is saijji to be an inhabitant of Southsea. The general opinion is that the act-was the result of lunacy. Tbe re port of tbe pistol was sharp but not loud. MacLean apparently inteuded firingagalu, when tbe revolver, which seemed to be a new one, was knocked from his hand by a bystander and hauded to the police. Eton acholars were prominent in the at tempt to lynch MacLean. It is under stood the Queen has not sustained any shock. London, •March 3.—MacLean was charged at the police station with shoot ing at the Queen with intent to do griev ous bodily bwm> H e »skec] whether any one was hurt, but the police retusedto give him any information. After search ing the vard at the railway station for hours this morning, the police founds small bullet imbedded in Uusfcroi 111 '!- It bore the marks of having first struck some other object. It was right in the direction of the spot over which tbe Queen’s carriage was passing, having probably passed over tbe horses’ heads. Tbe Queen and Princess Beatrice walked on the Castle terrace as usual early this morning. London, March 3, 5:30 p. si.—The charge brought against MacLean, before the Windsor magistrate to-day, was shoot ing at the Qneen with intent to murder. The prisoner was remanded for a week. Formal evidence was taken concerning the prisoner’s arrest and the finding of the bullet. MacLean closely cross-examined several witnesses. He did. not seem to be impressed with the seriousness of his position. London, March 3.—At the examina tion of MacLean two letters, written by the prisoner, were read. In the first, which was written before the shooting, he said he was compelled to commit a crime against the “bloated aristocracy,” because of the insufficiency of relief offered him. In the second letter, written after bis arrest, he said that his only object was to cause public alarm and get his pecuniary grievances redressed; that he did not mean to hurt the Queen, but only fired at the wheels of her carriage. London, March 3.—MacLean’s ante cedents show that be is ecceutric, and is addicted to drink. Before the beginning of business at tbe Stock Exchange this morning, ail the members iu the room sang, “God Save tbe Queen.” It appears that MacLean earnestly endeavored to force bis way through some Etou College scholars, who were at the station, to se cure a good position to viow tbe passage of the Queen, and the consequent bustling prevented bis having an opportunity to lire, when he might have done so with worse result. There are various accounts as to whether his arm was struck while fit ing or alter he had fired. The police evidence at the examination, which the prisoner tried to shake by cross-examina tion, went to prove that be fired straight at tbe carriage, and not at the wheels, he alleged. The Pope bait telegraphed bis regrets at the attempt upon the Queen’s life, and congratulations upon her escape. Minister Lowell has tendered to the Queen tbe congratulations of tbe Ameri can nation. Telegrams expressing simi lar sentiments were arriving at Windsor throughout Ithe night. It is officially announced that tbe Queen is in no way affected by the attempt on her life. The Princess Beatrice and John Brawn saw MacLean point tbe pistol at the car riage. He was exactly thirty paces dis tant when he fired. Two of the four loaded chambers of the revolver con tained only blank cartridges. MacLean bad walked from Portsmouth to London r. week ago. Upon MacLean’s person was found a purse containing a penny and three farthings and a pocket-book containing the follow ing entries: “Fourth Path, a novel by MacLean,” and “Reynolds’ newspaper gives as correct an idea of the wide differ ence that divides the people or Eugland as any newspaper in the world.

An eye witness of tbe shooting states that MacLean was observed fumbling in his pocket while tbe Queen waa being banded into ber carriage, but the pnawnoe of the ». often crowd prevented him from raising his arm followed by MwampUta or diphtherto, until the carriage was in motion. Tbe - — ——~"‘~* same cause made his aim very wide. Tbe bullet found in tbe sta'ion yard has been compared with others found on MacLean, and was found to correspond with them exactly. Before tbe revolver was seized the prisoner had brought another loaded chamber opposite the hammer. London. March 4.—It is reported that MacLean bears himself cheerfully and sings in his cell. The British press eXpreasto much gratification at tho manifestation of feeling by the Amerioan papers and peo ple of all shades of politics, which fulfills the anticipation expressed here in the first Comments ou the attempt upon the Queen’s life. Tbe almost universal opinion in England seems to be that MacLean is a lunatio. General Sir Frederick K-Finsonby replied to Minister Lowell’s personal telegram as follows : “The Queen is much touched by your congratulations, and desires to ex- nrejs her si si cere thonki.” The Empress of Austria will visit Wind sor on Monday to personally congratulate the Quean.
