Second question called “W1 I ~~ ~ Mak Navigation or tin* Vessel Difficult— •Suffering* of tlie Crew—N 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. called and passed: W.

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;” nor ought it to be considered strange or un- rca.vin d•!••, in view < f »!.•• ■ iicm t in -. for these people to look to tho government for reimbursement of their losses. The company was chartered by Congress for to encourage industry, and mast of its branches were presided over by commissioned and uniformed officers of the government. It woh but natural, therefore, for them to asaumo that the government would see to tho prop er inanag. meat of the institution and would l.rntt . l ti ’i.i l--’ *. «.’ti.»n 1m> Leon made to tho granting of this relief on 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 likely to call for the same w-ro entitled at tho timo of the failure of the company, The commissioner submits a bill designed to accomplish the desired relief, and says that if relief is grunted, provision should be made for tho transfer to the United States of the remaining assets of tho company, as it is probable that a considerable sum may yet bo realized from osssta now regarded os of but little or no value.

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 I' ll ‘HI tlie lir-t linn.- Ilf till' I'MUllIl J 111. 11' « as h iu" upon ,m iron i-.it. \i rupp. .1 in his overcoat, his hat upon his head. Tho 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. Dad Ills Kyrs Straightened.
