appeared to tho citizen-soldiers, from tho large
quantity of provisions, arms am! ammunition c»p-
tured, that ft larg-3 band of warriors belonging to

New York, February 10.—Two clerks in the office
of the commissioner of Jurors were arrested tht
morning, charged with fraud in preparing the Jury
lists. loiter, Deputy-Commissioner A. J. Kcgaw
and his second assistant, J. M. Jarvis, were arrested
on tho same charge. These men have made a
good deal of money by their corrupt operation.
The plan was to And bankers, merchants and oth
er prominent citizens, who were willing to pay
from twcuty-flvc dollars to one hundred dollars a
year, to have their names kept off tbe Jury lists.
One of the clerks, McGrath, acted as outside inau
and collected tho money. The others who had
charge of the ballots for the jurybex omitted the
namesofall paying these men for years; many of
them believing the arrangement regular and legiti
mate. The two clerks first arrested made a conf«

TIIR COTTON TIE DEBATE.
Mr. Muldrow moved to exempt cotton ties
from the duty of one and two tenth cents t>cr
pound imposed upon hoop-iron. In advocacy
of his amendment,Mr Muldrow took occasion
to deny the statement made recently by Mr.
McKinley, of Ohio, that cotton-ties were soid
0 cotton, and read a letter from J. T. Moore,
declaring that statement to be simply inex
cusuble. The amendment was lost. Various
other amendments reducing the rates of duty
on this item were offered, and severally voted
down. The moment the next clause, impos
ing a duty of one and four-
tenths cents per pound on cotton ties
was reached, half a dozen members
from the southern states were on their feet,
claiming recognition. Mr.*Mackey, of South
Carolina, was the fortunateone.nml he moved
to reduce the doty to 35 ppr cent ad valorem.
He was as much in favor of a protective tariff*
as any gentleman, but he did not believe that
by increasing the .duty on cotton ties the
prosperity of the country would be promote J.
the contrary, it would throw
burden on the millions
laborers engaged in the production
of cotton. The manufacturingof every cotton
tie that was welded in the country would not
givo employment to more than two hundred
and fifty "men. or thereabout, for six months
in the year. Certainly It could not he con
tended that for the purpose of giving this
small number of men employment an injury
should be done to the cotton laborers of the
south.
MR. BLOC NT’S SPEECH.
Mr. Illount, of Georgia, said that an effort
had been made by gentlemen from Ohio,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts (McKinley,
Chuce and Crapo) to create nn impression
that while tho farmer of the south paid from
4 to 5 cents a pound for cotton ties, in the
sale of Ids cotton he was actually paid ten
cents for them, thus receiving it bonus of
about 5 cents from the manufacturer. He
denied this, and queried whether it was
natural that the shrewd and intelligent
business men of the cast would
buy cotton tha nt the same prices
they paid for cotton. The fact was the price
of cotton was not fixed in this country, but
in Liverpool, where the weight, of ties and
bagging were taken to account in determining
the price. Then* was nothing for the south
In the pending bill but burdens. There was
not a single item of protection for the labor of
the south, which had to compete against the
slave labor of Brazil and the fellah Ini tor of
Egypt. If congress had anv regard for south

"I do not expect to secure the money to iia

"As long as I am in the service of the people
of Georgia I shall continue to bring this mat

are not accused of sleeping over their rights.
It does not need a warrant on the treasury to

on the police force, and his wife, have not
been getting along very well. Many quarrels

on her actions. She had among her dusky
admirers a colored prencher named I). Hoyt,
of whom Wiggins had become very jealous.
