The minority say they do cot think it nropVr to enter upon a discus.-ion of the evidence by which the claimant ol Kellogg’s seat seeks to es tablish charges affecting the integrity of that senator. 8 ich evidence can be found in abuu 'anee in the slums of great cities.

Wamus-;ton, March 22—After ing tlie oe>t |*art of three days in ing «l»c case of Simmons, the Georgia census supervisor, the senate rejected his nomina tion hy a vote of twenty-nine to ten Seven republicans only voted loooclirs*. Senators U.amn and Jiilt were the on!y democrat? in the affirm:* tire, and Judge Davis made the tenth man on that side. Among the repub lican* opp »-e.l to Simmon*, several of whom, however, were paired and did not vote, were Don Cameron, Jor.es, of Neva la, Blaine, and the colored senator. Bruce, of Mississippi. Senator Hill mad.* probably the longest speech lie has delivered since his entrance into the senate in favor of .Simmons, going thor oughly over the whole history of Siiumons and making the argument that it would la* most di>astrous it* tho democratic i*ariy in Georgia and in tho country at large it he abotlld lie rejected, lie .*.iid his co.league t General Gordon) would one day regret more than any other uct of liis lie his action against .Simmon*. Grncrut Gordon, in opposing the confirmation of Simmons, did not ?|>eak more than a halt hour, re piling briefly to the sUtciucnla mad* hy tiis c .1 league. He took the view that thecou- firmation or rejection of a census su|tervisor in one state was not a question of tiatloesl imporiatu e. He did not think the jasiple ot the north niMdc i>vu of men like 8inttuor.M, who only vaunted their loyalty when they had claims to go: through or oltieos to seek. His efforts were mainly directed to >|io%‘ that Simmons was until for tlie position, not only a^ a blind parti- ?nu, but as a malicious defamer of his own people, and of a character unworthy of re- >|aM*t. Mr. Blame made ipiite a humorous speech. He said Simmons had established, IhvoiuI any doubt, in his letter to the p ?e*%ion, and make him a goodly sum in riie !\f I V |p| Vp way of commiwions.

Be this as it may, you can rea-ona bly calculate on something like a hundred thousand more for the state's treasury if these bills are reached on the calendars.

He came to me one night, and, although I bad been sick in bed for two day*, com- tf.ei ced to aini-.e tue violently, until, his drunken anger getting the best of him, he struck me I went down to the door to rush from the iiou-e. when George, his six teen-year old son, followed me out and said tha* he would go with me, as he was tired of seeing me tu treated. At that juncture, • Mr. Hnyt, an American resident in Lima, came to the bouse on a visit and was a witness of the trouble. Mr. Chri-tianey then begged me to stay, saying that he had not intended to strike me. Hu 1 refused to remain, atul as 1 was leaving he railed George to come to him George winked towar Is my husband, who then pointed to Mr. Hayt and me. saying to me: ‘Now you can go.’ Instantly Mr. Hayt comprehended the insinuation, and answered: ‘Mrs. Christiancy does not leave this lions** without your son accompanying her ’ With that George said: ‘Father. I am going with her,’ ard carue to me. 'If you go out of this house now you go lor ever,* said Mr. Christiancy. ‘Then it is forever,’ I answered. George and 1 w*-;»t to a hotel. The next day Mr. Chris tiancy sent word to us that he was very skk and expected to die, and would I please come home. At first I refused, for Iliad antlered almost too much to forgive. But the friend he had sent pictured his di-tress in such a manner that nt last I consented When I returned I was .surprised to find him perfectly well. He made every niani fe-tation of |>eniience, and once more I re turned to hi* house. The very next morn- iiur, when I was lying on the bed. suffering with the pain that my troubles had aggra- v&ted, he stoo*l over me and cursed and swore at me until 1 was near! v wild.

This was notice iblv g<*od news to Mr. Christiancy. who would have been glad to have lo*» this witness of his cruelty. One tiny, however, fie return ed, and. calling at our house, said that he was about to return to the United States Instantly Mr. Christiancy’* manner toward him was changed, and he was all kindness, for he did not want Mr. Hayt to leave with any ill will that might result in the spreading o: the fae-s rcgirdiug iiun that Mr. Hiyt knew. The latter, much to my snrpris*. received an in vitation to remain over night. The next morning Mr. Christiancy again commenced his abuse of me, and to escape him I ra:i into the sitting-room.

The scene at this time beggars description, the struggling mass of humanity crying and t-creaming with the agony of fright trying to force their way out of the hall.

A terrible calamity, such a- never has occurred in this state, was hap pily averted by the great presence of mind displayed by two of the *}>ectators.

The Misses Brown, Nprecherand ILn^ouian and Mrs. Koenigiuacher have recovered con sciousness. but Miss Era is still lying in a dangerous condition. The damage to the hall is not large. The building was badly constructed of weak material, and should never have been used to hold a large audi ence.

March 23.—A mar riage under circumstances that were, to say the least, rather peculiar, wa* solemnized near thi* place to-night. The bride was Mr*.

The groom of to night is a cousin of the man who died that ignominious death and a namesake, hi* cognomen being Joseph Gtilispie. The ceremony took place in the open air and was so!emn:z.*d by a prominent minister of the Fresbyteriau church The wildne-s of the scene was heightened by the wierd-like lights produced by pine torches held by the six attendants of tlie bridal party. Several hundred persons wit nessed the ceremony. The minister omitted to observe the time-honored custom in this section of claiming the first kiss from the blushing though mature brid ».

For more than a week past the air lias iieen filled with rumors to the effect that that part of the Knoxville and Augusta railroad running through cast Tennessee was about to be sold The name of the purchaser was not revealed, but it was un derstood to be a company that would extend the line so as to connect with the Georgia sys ten* of railroads. The transaction has baen completed and the road sold to the owners of the Atlanta ami Charlotte Air Line. The purchasers propose, a* wo understand, at au early uav to construct the link neces sary to count ct Knoxville with their line at Toecoa City, thus giving us another route to the seaboard. This will place Knoxville on a great thoroughfare from tbe northwest to the Atlantic, shorter by nearly 100 mi'es than any line now in operation. The pur chasers. w are assured, are amp!y able to successfully carry out their enter prise ami construct, if the Cincinnati •Southern people do not. the much talked of Emory Gap connection. With a line open from Knoxville to Augusta or Charleston, the people of Cincinnati are too jealous of their own interests and too wide-awake to permit the link necessary to give them the benefit of such a connection to remain in complete. THE I*HXS OK THE LfltSVILLE ASU XASH- VILLI. Louisville Courier-Journal, 20th. A Courier-Journal icporler talked with several gentlemen yesterday, who are fa miliar with the situation between the Lou isville aid « Nashville and the Cincinnati i Southern. They think the Ohio and M: Mssippi would bs a valuable addition to tbe Louisville and Nashville system, and they statait as follows: . . .-.2—.. - * The Ohio ami Mississippi road Would be valuable to the Louisville and Nashville for reveral reasons. The road from here to North Vernon, fifty-live miles, is nearly level and almost straight; consequently it is a good*road for speed, and over it nearly one third more cars can be hauled thau over a curved and graded track, such as the .Short-line. Of c urse. this makes the run ning expenses of the road much less than they are over the Short-line. Another consideration i.< that the Ohio and Mississippi line runs into a depot at Cincinnati, where there are four roads cen tering. viz: the Marietta ami Cincinnati, the Cincinnati. Hamilton ami Dayton, tbe Atlantic ami Great Western and the Davtoti Short Line or the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis line. This make* a connection with the south of four roads against one running into the Short i.uiede|M>t, and of course affords much bet ter freight facilities. In order to get a southern connection all of these Hues must run over the Ohio aud Mississippi road over the bridge at* Louis ville. The Atlantic and Great Western is s continuation of the New York and Eric road, ami the Baltimore and Oiiio connects directly with the Marietta and Cincinnati. It : * true that the Short-line connection is quicker passenger route east than the Ohio ami Mississippi. There is r.o doubt but that the Cincinnati Southern is materially in the way of the rilicand Nashville. The Cincinnati Hoyle, while others held that in their opinion Mr. Hoyle would couie along with out any trouble, and at the same time be glad to get back with his friends in Georgia. The committee appointed by Judge Hillver to examiuc into the books of Mr. Iloyle have been working steadily since it com menced, and a member of it said yesterday tl at he did not hope to get’ through and make a report in less than three weeks. We learn that tbe committee has not found any short-comings so far as it has gone, but as before stated, the end will not come for some days yet. Special <li?patch to the Constitution. Raleigh. X.

Mr. Best claims to buy in the interest of no other combination. ciscixxATfa coxxEcrxoxs. Cincinnati Gazette. O i ‘change, Saturday, much of the time wa* devoted to speeches by some of our southern guests, many of whom were in the chamber. The first sneaker was Judge Henry IL Ingersoll. of Knoxville, Tetin., who urged the construction of a road to Knoxville from Emory Gap, to form part of the Southern road. Knox ville, he_ said, was anxious to trade with Cincinnati,and thebuildiugof this con necting line would bring Knoxville, Tenn., 152 miles nearer to Cincinnati. The uext speaker, M. J. Condon, of Knoxville, took up the same subject, and entered into a very complete argument to show that the bes’t route for a line to Knoxville lay by way of rnory Gap. He hoped that tbe next ban quet at which he would meet the Cincin nati people would be at Knoxville, when the Einory (tap road is completed. Judge Ingersoll and Mr. Condon were fol lowed by Col. C. W. Charlton, who read a carefully prepared paper to show that here ought to be a connecting line to Knox ville, and asking Cincinnati’s co-opera tion. Col. Charlton was of opinion that if the matter were carefully canvassed the mory Gap railroad would soon be built. Having heard from the Knox ville gentlemen, the chamber wa* rea«!y to hear from Brunswick, Ga., and Colonel Styles, of that place, was intro duced. He said that Brunswick lay on the Atlautic coast, and had a harbor which could 11 :>at all the ships of the ocean, so that it was a good outlet for South Amert- trade. Georgia ha* granted free compe tition, and all effort* to discriminate against the Cincinnati Southern wo;.Id be frowned down, and Brunswick lio{»es for much trade from the Cincinnati Southern. The last shaker was Colonel Dunn, of Brunswick •aid that, a* a republican, he stood ready to brand the stories told of southern intolerance as false. Every northern man would be protected if he visited the south, and Brunswick was eager for Cincinnati's trade. Colonel A. C. Blount, of Pensacola, Fla., and Colonel C. G. Samuel, of Rome, Ga., will address the chamber of commerce at its session to day. Southern's depot is in the sar.i$ quarter of the town with the other depot*, consequent ly shipment to it is easy. Shippers prefer the cheapest route, which, of course, is the neirest. If the Louisville and Nashville get into Cincinnati and make its own rates i will certainly divide the business which the Cincinnati Southern now control*. One of the greatest advantages ol that road is that it has no toll to pay o Ohio river bridge. Transportation across Glut bridge is nt just the same rates as over the same distance anywhere else on its line. Aero** the Louisville bridge from four to five dollars i* charged a* toll. This make* a material difference in the rates of trans portation of freights. It would he a good policy in the Louisville am! Nashville {teople to buy tbe L misville bridge,even if that were possible; since there are several line? running over it. and, toenaWe the Louisville and Nashville to transport cars at a money-* tving fig arbitrary rate would have to be put upon the other lines using the bridge. This would tend to the building of a new bridge here.

Mrs. Nibbs hired a new colored nurse the other day. and with the nurse came into the house the mast intense odor of onions, first, however, the obnoxious stncli was not attributed to her, but us the afternoon came on the onion atmosphere became so thick that it could have been cut with a knife. The culinary department was investigated, but the cook took an oath that an onion hadn't been in the house for a month. Old visitors called, veteran talker?, who were in the hahit o? shooting their respec tive mouths off steady for three or tour hour* at a time; but they weakened on this occasion. The strength of the onions too much for them, and they slid out in about fifteen minutes with tear* in their eyes. Even the little Nibbses wept more than usual.

A STEAMER STOPFRb HY A WHALE. New York Sun, March 11. The steamship Isaac Beil, of the Old Do minion line, arrived in thi* port yesterday from Norfolk, and reported that on the way she had been obliged to back water on ac count of a huge whale which lay directly across the ship’s bow*. Ctptaiu Gibbs gave the following version of the incident: * o.» the tnorningof the !2di instant l took the wheel. The steamer wa> then scudding along at tne rate of nliour eleven knots an hour against a northca»t wind. Tula course was kept until about t) a.m , when we were fifteen miles from Fenwick’* island, oft' the 1> naware coast. Suddenly, ah mt one bun- d-ed yards oil' the port bow. I saw .the - ..out of a whale. The stream of water ejected was larger and projected to a greater height than l had ever seen beiore; and l became so interested in it tb it I did not perceive our close proximity to the mon ster until it* huge bulk lay across our h >w.« Then I .saw that there was at hast forty feet of its back exposed above the surface This exposed surface I quickly calculated would give me a whale ot about seventy- five or eighty feet iu length and t f un known diameter. I immediately rang the bell to back water, for I did not think that a wooden keel ciu'd successfully collide with a monster whale. The engine* obeyed tlie signal, and the keel of the ship was s.top|K*d within four feet of the back of the whale. He laz ly tl mted out of the way, and then we tteamed ahead. The last I saw of him wat a magnificent spurt of sea foam. CAPTURING SKA-LIONS. Captain Mullet;, the s*a-lion hunter, lias described his methods to a St. Louis report er. In six year* he ha* caught 104 sea- lions. mostly near San Diego, and Las prof ited thereby, since the regular price for an exhibition s al is $1,000. * Our method cf capturing the lions,” he said, “is thi-: They go in rookeries of 10* or more, ami we watch the shore to sec where they will go into camp. Thi* we can determine from the fact that they carry their young on shore, leave them aud go back to tbe water, returning at break »*f day. When we find a camp we dig trenches iu the sand to hide in, or, if there are ri»cks convenient, we hide behind them. The vessels are ancho-ed some distance off the shore, and wc bring from them in small boats cage* made of six-inch fencing i»oaru<>. When the herd come* ashore the lassoer.- watch their opportunity and lasso one of the 1 o is around the neck. Another lasso is then fastened to one of the hind tlipiicr*, and the lion is forced into one ot tlie cages. This must be done within a short time or the animal will not live. After the lion is captured, a shot-, to which a long rope i* at tached, is fired trout a buntgnn on the shore over the vessel; the other end of the rope is attached to one of the cages, and i:. pushed into the b.eakcr* and hauled on* the vessel. On board the vessel the lio: are not put i:» water, but are kept wet wu a sprinkler. They arc then taken to S Franetsco , where they are placed In ea bnilt for the purpose and traus|»ortcdaci*o the continent, each car containing twelve lions.” A WILP-U.VT rot: A HKD FELLOW. Correspondence of the Salt Lako Herald. Apropos of hunting and fishing, did you ever hear of a wild cat taking possession of a spare bed in an inhabited cabin? Such case really occurred this winter in thia vi cinity at the herd house of Overholt & Crouse. A Mr. Burns had been left in charge, and for several night*, after he had retired, was disturbed by a scrambling noise in the chimney, followed by the si.* ‘ of two glarimr, fiery eye bills iu tlie op; site bed; and when he (Burns) moved made a noire the low, fierce growl of » »i wiiil animal was heard. This kind thing, occurring for several nigh‘s in s! cession, so discomposed Burn* that lie final ly vamosed the ranch, aud f< some time tlie intruder had thing* h own way. With plenty of fatb^ef ami vei ison in store, he must have come to the conclusion that he had struck romfortah! quarters. John Garrison, a miner, hear in, of the ciicumstanccs, made his way to tii head house, determined to interview th beast that had takeu possession. Wheu h« arrived at the ranch about 4 o’clock p. m., be was somewhat surprised to timl the animal in bed and disposed to light for the lonated establishment; but at sight of the gun the miner carried he flew up tne chim ney and into .he brush. Garrisnu huti; around until dark.then went to bed, placin his gun where he could reach it, and quietly waited for Mr. Cat. About 10 o'clock he beard a scrambling in the monstrous chimney, ful lowed hy the sound of stealthy footstep* across the floor ami the sight of the II piling eyes peering out at him from tho spare bed some of a different kind, which she was gra ciously pleased to approve of.

Persona who hayc peou the chil Washikorosr.ifarch 24.—Secretary Evarts has received a letter from the United States consul at Pernambuco describing the famine in his consulate in which tlie latter says: As the province of Ceara is within the limits of my consulate, it is proper that I should send to tlie detriment of state an account of the great secca or drought of northern Brazil, which extended along the sertao (the term sertao simply uieaus tlie interior of a country as opposed to tlie coast: the inhabitants of the sertao are called Sertanejos), or interior, from the headqwaters ot the Rio Mcdeirio to the Sierra Araripe, which separates the prov ince of Ceara from Pernambuco. Two noted scccas prevailed during the years 1825 and 1815, but I doubt whether there has ever been hare, or elsewhere, in the history of the world a famine so fatal in effects in proportion to the population as this of Ceara Those of India and China, it must be considered, occurring in crowded countries, where the people are counted by millions, and not by tlioft- sand* like the Ceirenses. Two years and a half ago, when the seeca commenced, the province of Ceara numbered 000,000 inhabi tants ; out of these 500,000 have died of dis- ise and starvation. The secca began in the summer of»IS76, and lias continued to the close of the year 1878. lasting for thirty months; no rain having fallen during the whole two years and a half, and the once fertile and luxu riant Sertao, where the farms and villages prospered in peace and plenty now presents the appearance of a vast blackened desert burnt over by fire. In November of 1876, after the “Easti- et<” or summer-sleet*, when the “Chuvas de Cajus,” or fruit rains, failed to appear, the people did not worry, as their acueics. or |>oiids, were not yet exhausted, and they looked confidently forward to the winter rains to set everything right. But these never came, and, as the dry spring ad vanced, sad accounts began to come coast ward of poverty and suffering among tbe poor. Later ou. as the buruiug summer slowlv passed, bringing no November showers, and another January went by without rain, there came appalling news of famine, disease, dead cattle, and of d3’ing aud despairing |*eople. Long penitential processions were formed and the miserable Sertanejos beat, cut and otherwise punished themselves to apjteasc an offended deity. But the pitiless secca still continued, threatening everything and everybody with inevitable destruction. The wretched i*eople were now reduced to the necessity of eating roots, cotton-pods, theMucumat>eau, which produces dropsy, lizards, dogs, cats, rata, roaches: any living or dead tiling capable of affording susten ance; and in some instances they were even goaded to cannibalism by the pangs of hunger. To increase the unimaginable horrors of the situation, the small-pox broke out among the Sertanejos and became epidem ic; typhus and other fevers were raging, and, in February and March of 1878, tbe mortality became frightful. The cattle were now all dead, the rivers dried up, and there being no railroads or' other communication by which provision could reach the sertao, the inhabitants, dreading wholesale starvation, abandoned it altogether and the wholo torrent of life swept seaward. Ceara, Parahyba, Aracaty, Baturitc—all tlie towns along the coast were now alive with suffering humanity; age, youth, men, women and children, all famine stricken, coming in from the country by thousands upon thousands. The city of Ceara, with *25,000 inhabitants of its own, received over 00,000 Sertanejos. Impossible to provide for such a host, the Ceatenses did their best, but it was a eor- sowful spectacle to see thousands of emaci ated creatures titling or lying in the open largos (squares) smitten • with smaU-|*ox and other loathsome diseases, some lament ing their-own fate, or the loss of friend*, others too weak or ill to complain; some wishing to die from despair, and others in sane from suffering; a daugc-rons and most harrowing scene, one with few parallels in history. In Ceara, or Fortaleza, as it is indiscrimi nately called, the highest mortality in nor mal times was D00 a year. Now about half the population (25,000) is dead. In the be ginning of last Novemoer the population, including the influx, numbered 00,000. The greatest mortality prevailed in the months of November and December of 1878. From the 1st of November to the 27th of Decem ber there died of siuall-pox alone, aud were buried in tbe Lngoa Funda (deep lakes) cemetery, for the j*oor only, 23.470; estima ted from 27th to31st of December, 1.000; in the St. Joao Baptiste cemetery. 1,232, in the city cemetery, 1,000; estimated buried outside in fields, etc., 2,000; and to this the mortality from other diseases, 10 per cent 2,970; total interments for two months, 31.571. * % I have given the statistics as figures tell their own incontrovertible tale. Sixty thousand Ccarenscs have neen buried in the Lagoa Funda cemetery, which was only commenced in the middle of Iasi year. The soil is sandy, in which trenches were dug six feet deep, and long onough to con tain twelve uncofllncd corpses. Three or four more are sometimes put in when the bodies come too fast lor tbe corps of grave-diggers, numbering twenty-five. These diggers sometimes drop dead in tho trcuches, from the effluvia emunating from tlie bodies, which psrnteate3 the whole soil of the cemetery, and impregnates tho sur rounding atmosphere for nearly a mile. Wu^lit. At Parahyba,out of 15,000 Sertanejos who came to that port, 12.000 died ; others have wandered oil, aud ihe place ia nearly de populated. Of Sobral, Pacaluba and other towns dis tressing accounts that augmented the sum of human suffering, could be given. But enough has been narrated to convey some idea of the magnitude of the terrible scene of Ceara. It. is estimated that 150,000 died from hunger olonc; as many more from its effect*, and the remaining 200,000 from dis- describa them as positively beaut ful, the dead one- more resembling works of art in wax than natural-born members of our race - .... All the children arc now dead, the last „.ic dying on Wednesday last. The re- mains’were visited by hundred* of people, who left with the parents substantial to kens of their visits.
