Washington', December 13.—Four hun
dred and seventy bills and nine joint resolu
tions have been introduced in the Senate,
butoDly two committees have yet held
their first meeting, and no measures have
been reported buck to the Senate, and no
calendar 1ms theieforo been made. Beyond
the l robable discussion and possible pas
sage of the Presidential succession bill, to
be reported on Monday, and * the adoption
of Mr. F rye’s resolution embodying a code
of joint rules, no programme for
legislative business during the week
can be indicated. There have been sent to
the Semite 450 nominations, mid many of
them will probably be reported at the first
executive session. A considerable portion
of the latter half of the week is likely to bo
spent with closed doors.
Though tho committco on rules of the
House of Representatives has ccmplcted its
labor of formulating a new code of rules
for the government of tho House, and will
submit its report to-morrow, it is not
thought probable thnta discussion will then
be begun. It is esru-ctod .that tliedebate will
be postponed until Tuesday, in order that
members may have au opportunity to see
tho proposed revision in print. There is a
desire on tho part of many members to
have a call of tno States on Monday for the
introduction of bills for reference to appro.
S riatc eommitti i s when appointed, and in
efercnce to this desire it was informally
agreed by members of the committee on
rules yesterday to make no opposition to
such call. There arc, however, members
of the House, who express au intention to
oppose tho introduction of bills until the
House shall have finally determined
by a vote on the Morrison code the juris
diction of the vnrious committees, and who
bold that it would bo useless to inundate
the Speaker’s table with a flood of bills
until some proper outlet is provided for
^ieni. As tin- House is not governed at
present by nny definite system of rales,
these members contend that it will
require unanimous consent to order
the call, and assert that this can
not be obtained. The discussion of
rales will consume the remainder of the
week, and tho contest over the schemo to
distribute the labor of the appropriations
committee promises to be sharp and inter
esting, There is tnlk of an adjournment
for a holiday recess before tho end of tho
week, but no definite plans have been ar
ranged, and it is probable that an adjourn
ment will not be reached until the week
following.

The Freed nut n't Hank.
Comptroller Cannon, ex-tfficla commis
sions of the Freedman’s Savings and Trust
Company, has made a report to Congress in
regard to the affairs of that institution,
from which it appears that tho total pay
ments made to creditors of tho company
aggregate $1,720,780, leaving to be paid un
der the provisions of tho act of February 7,
1883, the sum of $8,52G. Tho commissioner
renews his recommendation for relief by
Congress of the unfortunate creditors of
the institution, and says a great majority of
them nr*- "t the poorest and most illit rat-
of oyr people. It stems impo-iMe fur
these people to realize that they are to bo
deprived or have lost a portion of their
earnings which years ago they labored ho
hard to acquire, and thousands of
them to this day believe that
tlio dividends paid them by tho commis
sioner are but the interest on or carningHof
their deposits, nnd that sooner or later their
original deposit! will bo returned to them.
No explanation s< ems to convince them to
the contrary, and culls are made daily, both
orally and in writing, for “their money;”

for these people to look to tho government
for reimbursement of their losses. The
company was chartered by Congress for
to encourage industry,

over by commissioned and uniformed
officers of the government. It woh

tho ground of its dangerous tendency as a
precedent. This apprehension, I think
groundless. There never was but one freed-
man’s bank. There will never bo another.
From tho annual diminution of the
amount called for on account of the
several dividends declared, it is estimated
that tho sum of 1860,000 would cover the de
ficiency between the amount paid (62 per
cent) and tlio amount to which creditors

The commissioner submits a bill designed to
accomplish the desired relief, and says that
if relief is grunted, provision should be

Dying:, end Diiugh-
ter in Convulsion*.
J. A. Webb vns amsited by the police,
yesterday morning, and locked up in the
oily prison for safe keeping. In the after
noon, ho wus lodged in the county jail on
a peace warrant sworn out by his brother-
in-law, George Morgan.
Soon after Webb's arrest, his wife was
reported to be dyiog.
His daughter, aged thirteen years, was in
convulsions.
Two stories are told as tho reason for tho
Rad state of affairs just outlined;
Webb is s carpenter. He came to Macon
from Americas about four years ago, and
worked in the shops of tbo Collins Manu
facturing Company until they shut down,
two weeks ago. He then obtained employ
ment in Gantt's shops on Third street,
where he remained until he was arrested.
Seven weekN ago, AVobb separated from
his wife, leaving in her care his two child
ren, a boy aged about ten yeara, and the
girl already mentioned.
At this point, the two stories differ widely.
One is to the effect that Webb treated his
wife badly, she being an invalid and there
fore a heavy expense to him. The other
alleges that Mrs. Webb was high teini>ered
and flighty, and continually quarreling with
her husband. It also alleges that she fre
quently refused to give him his meals, rak
ing the food off of the table into her lap and
locking it up in a safe.
As to what occurred yesterday morning,
the stories again differ. It is agreed, how
ever, that Webb's son weuttoGantt’s shops
with the information that Mrs. Webb was
dying. Webb left his work and went to bis
house on Third street, just beyond Bound
ary, where Mrs. Webb was lying in bed.
When he started to enter the house, George
Morgan ordered him not to do so.
It is claimed by one party that Webb pre
ferred a civil request to be permitted to see
his wife, and thst Morgan cursed him and
ordered him away and then had him
arrested. The other party declared that
when told that be could not enter the house,
Webb flew into a terrible rage, and acted
like a madman. It was said that he threat
ened to kill Morgan, and also declared that
he would take the lives of his wife and
children.
Whatever really occurred, it is certain
that a considerable disturbnnco was made,
resulting in making Mrs. Webb much
worse, and throwing the little girl into
convulsions.
After tho disturbance, Webb left and
went to Cronan’s store on Fourjji street.
There ho was arrested by police officers
Holmes and William Jones.
Mrs. Webb died at 11 o’clock, Sunday
night. Webb was informed of liir death
yesterday morning, but wus not j ermitted
to see her or his two children. Her remains
were taken to Americas last night, for in
terment.
Webb's little girl, Hattie, recovered from
her attack of convulsions, and accompanied
her mother’s remains to Americas,
Webb's story is a pitiful one, nnd if true,
ho has been badly treat'd. A Teleubapu
reporter found him yesterday afternoon, in

cell was cold and dismal. When the re
porter mode known tlie object of his visit,
iVebb oroso from the cot, walked to tho
barred door, and expressed a willingness to
talk.
1 have not lived with my wife for six or
seven weeks," he surd, "for reasons which
it is not necessary to mention,
I will soy, however, thnt my
wife's relations have been tho cause of all
iny trouble. Yesterday my son came to
Gantt’s shops, where I was at work, and
told mo that my wife was dead. I informed
Mr. Gantt, and he told mo to go at once
and see if I could be ot assistance. I put
on my coat, and, accompanied by John
Gantt and my son, went to uy house.
Winn I started in Georgo Morgan, my
wife’s brother, ordered me to stop, anil said
that if I came another step he would kill
me. I stopped, and asked John Gantt what
to do. He could not advtae me, and
then walked bock to the gate, I saw iny
little daughter, Hattie, standing in the
door, and called her. She atartea toward
me, but my wife's mother called her book.
If she had convulsions, that is what caused
them. Two cr three ladies who were iu the
honse came ont to tho gnte, and from them
I learned that my wife was very ill, bnt not
dead. After some further talk, Gantt and I
went away.R^Hil^^H
‘ Did yon make a disturbance when Mor
gan ordered yon not to enter the house?”
“I did not At no timo did I speak above
an ordinary tone of voice, and I mude no
threat*. ”
When were you arrested?”
After I left my honso, I went hack to
tho shape and stayed a while, and then
started to my boarding place, which is noor
my house. On the way I was arrested oy
two police officers. Morgan at first said
that he would have me arrested on a peace
warrant, bnt he aftorward* changed his
mind and had me arrested on n warrant for
carrying a concealed weapon. I had no
pistol, or other concealed weapon, vkkk J
will prove. Morgnu was brought to Macon
by me, given employment, and kept ut my
bouse free of expense. His conduct toward
me was infamons. I am in jail, m; wife is
deoil, 1 do not know whero my children are,
and Morgan is going to Americua to-night,
I believe not to return.”
Webb broke down at this point and
evinced much feeling.
This morning Webb will employ a law
yer and endeavor to have himself released
on habeas corjtus.

The ancient Greek aud Roman women
and their modern imitator*, the French
women of the First Republic and the First
Empire, are the only women on record,
save among savage and barbarous tribes, 1
who have not worn corsets. Not precisely
the corset of the present day, of course, but
an attempt at a garment taking its • place,
and performing for the female form what
our modem French or American corsets
do. The some primitive waistband found
among the antiquities of Greece and Egypt
wus discovered on a female figure, in ba*[
lelief, in Polenqni, one of the prehistoric
cnies of boath America. | ‘
