,. Tho proceetliugs of the House on
the 19th contain nothing that would
be of interest to the general reader.
In the Senate, Mr. Beck, the able and
considerate Senator from Kentucky,
gave notice that he had prepared a
memorial, the object being to repeal
the navigation laws in the hope that
Americans might be able to own
steamship lines on the ocean. He had
signed it by himself and asked to have
it referred to the committee the
committee on Commerce before
which committee he would ask to
be heard. He said, . to show its
importance, he had referred, with his
memorial to an extract from the late
speech of Count Von Moltke before
the German Reichstag to show that
war was inevitable; also, newspaper
extract in regard to the action of
England towards her steamship lines.
His memorial was referred to the com
mittee on commerce. He also stated
that business would be expedited by
giving the committees the time up to
noon. This would be effected by giv
ing the committee that time and hav
ing the meeting of the Senate at 11
A. M. and adjournment at 9 P. M.
Several petitions from various sec
tions were presented requesting the
passage of the Dependent Pension
bill over the President’s veto. Laid
on the table. On motion of Senator
Call an item was inserted for the sur
vey of several channels in Florida and
a like item was inserted for Mobile
river on motion of Senator Morgan.
Senator Brown moved an increase of
the appropriation for the harbor of
Savannah from $65,000 to $160,000.—
After discussion the amendment was
rejected.
The conference report on the trade
dollar was agreed to, and the billnow
goes to the President. There was a
long discussion on an amendment of
fered by Senator Van Wyck increas
ing the appropriation for the Missou
ri river, to be expended under the su
pervision of the Secretary of War
and riot that of the Missouri river
commission. The Senate adjourned
without conclusion.
In the House on the 21st, the re
port, of the committee on Elections
in the Indiana contested election,
Kidd against Steele, was unanimous
in favor of Steele. A measure was
reported to the House providing for
the repeal of preemption laws, also,
the timber culture and desert land
laws. This measure is caused by the
rapid decrease of the lands and the
rapid increase of the population.
in the senate the presiding officer
laid before that body the President’s
veto of the bills granting pensions to
John Read, Sr., and Charlotte O’Neal,
referred to the Committee on Pen
sions. Further petitions were receiv
ed asking the Senate to pass the De
pendent Pension bill over the Presi
dent's veto. The amount in the Riv
er and Harbor bill for improving the
Missouri river, was considerably re
duced and then the bill was passed.
This river and harbor bill goes to a
committee of conference. The Nica
ragua Canal Bill was passed with the
understanding that it shall have no
force or effect till concession shall be
obtained from the Nicauraguan gov
ernment and submitted to, and ap
proved by Congress. Yeas, 38; nays.
5. The bill incorporates certain par
ties, constituting the company, the
capital stock to be not less than fifty
millions of dollars nor more than one
hundred millions.
On the 22nd, in the House, a con
ference was ordered on the disagree
ing votes of the two houses on the
Sundry Civil appropriation bill. Mr.
Blount contended that the Senate
amendments, to the Post Office bill,
had the right of precedence; this was
objected to by several members but
Ur. Blount proved successful, that
body directing the Committee to
proceed to the consideration of the
Senate amendment of the Post Office
bill. Action upon the appropriation
of $500,000 for the transportation of
foreign mails by American steam
ships to South and Central America
being the only amendment left, that
was not concurred in. Pending debate,
tiie Committee rose, and the House
proceeded to the consideration of res
olutions expressive of regret at tiie
death of Senator Pike of New Hamp
shire. After eulogies by several, the
House, as a mark of respect to tiie
memory of the deceased, adjourned.
In the Senate Mr. John Sherman
briefly announced his resignation of
his ; osition as presiding officer of
that body, in doing which he express
ed his heartfelt thunks for the uniform
com tesy and forbearance shown him
while in the discharge of his duties us
presiding officer, by every member of
the Senate. The communication was
ordered to be entered in the journal
and placed on files.
Tho bill to make Tampa, Florida a
port of entry was passed.
After some discussftm on the bill to
create a department of Agriculture
and Labor, the bill went over as un
finished business.
Tiie House amendments to the Sun
dry Civil bill were presented and were
disagreed to in bulk, and a conference
asked. Senators Allison, Hale and
Beck were appointed conferees.
On motion of Senator Cull the Sen
ate bill to provide for ascertaining the
judicial rights of tiie United States to
certain railroad lands in Florida was
taken from tiie Calendar and pass
ed.
On motion of Senator Maliono tiie
Senate bill changing the boundaries
of the fourth collection district of Vir
ginia was taken from the Calendar
and passed.
' Secret session. Adjourned.
Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Fkb. 21st, 1887.
Editor Union-Recorder:
As to what Congress is doing just
now, I may say the Senate is overdo-
i business,
and the House
approp;
i is tryfn
new,
ng to get on with
the regular, indispensible Appropri
ation bills. The past week was mark
ed by some important legislation,
prominent among which was the pas
sage of the Eads’-Tehuantepee Ship
Railway bill, by the Senate and the
rigorous Antl-Polygauiy bill by both
the Senate and House.
You may remember that thiB meas
ure passed the Senate some time since
but it was amended by the House,
and now the Senate has passed it as it
came from the House.
Only seven votes were recorded
against the scheme of Capt. Eads for
constructing a ship railway across tho
Isthmus of Tehuantepec. These were
cast by Senators Edmunds, Jones of
Arkansas, Morrill, Platt, Vance, Van
Wyck, and Wilson of Iowa. The bill
incorporates Capt. Eads and some
eighty other persons named, as a
body poiltio tinder the name of the
Atlantic and Pacific Ship Railway
Company. The stock is not to er-.
oeed $100,000,000; and when ten per
cent of stock 1b subscribed and ten
per cent, paid in cash, a meeting of
stockholders is to be heldln Wash
ington or New York, for the election
of directors. If ten millions of stock
is not subscribed for and ten per cent,
of it paid in cash within two years, the
charter is to expire by limitation.
Consequently the Government is not
committed to the project pecuniarily,
and makes no guarantees.
The Senate has passed bills appro
priating about, fifty millions for ships
of war, coast defenses and other war
like preparations. If the Senate had
really wanted to do something for the
Navy, it would have passed these bills
early enough to permit of their con
sideration by the Hou e of Represen
tatives. It ought not to be expected
that the House will pass measures of
such magnitude, without an exami
nation which there is not now time to
give. But, of course, the Senate will
get the credit of having made a brill
iant effort towards an Fnoreose of the
naval establishment, and the House
will be condemned for neglect of duty
in this matter.
Everybody is wondering whom the
President will appoint on the Inter-
State Commission. Among tiie scores
of men who lmve been mentioned for
a place, Gen. Atkins, the present
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, is one
of the latest. His friends say he is a
man who could bo, officially, as - much
of a friend to the railroads as to the
people. Said one of them, “He could
do justice to, both, and at the same
time has moral force sufficient to out
ride tiie temptation 6f winking at
the New York brokers for a consider
ation.”
On next. Thursday an effort will be
made in the House of Representatives
to pass the Pauper Pension bill over
the President’s veto, and the Repub
licans are expected to press the mat
ter to such un extent that there will
doubtless be a pretty lively fight.
The impression is, however, that it
will be impossible to overrule the ve
to.
The first Mexican pension under the
recent act granting pensions to the
survivors of that war, was issued on
last Friday. It went to the hero of
Cerro Gordo, ex-Senator Williams, of
Kentucky. If all the Mexican vete
rans were able to verify their claims
to an allowance and secure it as read
ily as lie, short work would be made
of the Mexican pension business at
least. His appiicatinn was filed in
tiie Commissioners’ office at eleven
o’clock one day last week, and the
pension certificate was mailed in the
afternoon of the same day.
Tiie Cabinet succession continues to
be a theme of discussion. A week
ago it was believed that Mr. Fair-
child, tiie Assistant Secretary was the
man for the place, but suddenly pub
lic opinion changed entirely. Some
say that the President will appoint a
wide-awake, practical politician to
succeed Mr. Manning. When the lat
ter tendered liis resignation tiie Pres
ident brought up the subject of his
successor, and Mr. Manning urged
upon him the necessity of availing
himself of the opportunity to appoint
a strong Democrat of natioual repu
tation, and suggested two or three
names.
A Democratic Congressman of
prominence expresses the hope that
the new Secretary of the Treasury
will lie taken from those who are not
dominated by Wall-street ideas.
But. as he himself acknowledged, it is
very difficult to find a man of finan
cial experience who is not under Wail-
street. influence in some way. Kinee
New York is the center of the money
power of tiie nation, every business
man of prominence lias his center
there.
Your life should be patterned on
God’s plan—a busy, but a happy life.
He means that you shall find content
ment in your work. The happy and
contented are tiie best workers.
Tiie president is determiiied to ap
poi .it the members of the commission
under tiie inter-State commerce law
before the adjournment of Congress.
T1k> Democrats of tiie Tennessee
Legislature have boldly declared for
Cleveland as tho standard-bearer two
years hence.
A DEBT-PAYING RELIGION.
One of the greatest- needs of the
times is for the quickening of the pub
lic conscience with regard to the sa-
credness of financial obligation. It is
simply appalling how carelessly men
make debts, and how indifferent they
are to their payment. So far has
this gone, that thiB question is often
asked: ‘.'Are there any that are hon-
are there any that may be trust-
We have not yet lost faith in hu
man integrity. We know that there
are map*, both in and out of Church,
whose word is as good as their bond.
At the same time, however, we are
painfully impressed with the lax ideas,
and laxer practice, that prevails
among many in their business trans
actions. Tliis laxity, or, to put it more
plainly, this want of common honesty
is by no means confined to those out
side of the church. On the contrary,
many church members, and some,
too, who make pretensions to more
than ordinary sanctity, are as indif
ferent to mouetary obligation as the
veriest son of Belial; and the reproach
that sue?- —uJ “
cai
nary wisdom. One of the “Rules"
for toe government of his societies,
aqd still a rule in the Discipline of the
Metbpdist Church, forbids the “tak-
froin nnoounted embarrassments and
unmeasured shame and reproach.
But it is diregarded times without
number by a very large proportion of
our membership. Men and women
“take up goods," and assume finan
cial obligations, with as little pros
pect of the ability of meeting them
as there is that the alchemist will
succeed in his efforts to transmute
tiie baser metals into gold. If these
debts were contracted for bread, to
keep starvation from the door, there
might be some extenuation, if not
justification. But how often are
they contracted for the luxuries as
well as the necessities of life. The
demands of fashion must be met, and
false pride must be gratified, it mat
ters not at whose expense. And as
debts accumulate, and the impossibil
ity of their payment becomes more
certain, the indifference to them
grotvs, until all sense of obligation
and of shame is lost forever!
Is it not time for tiie pulpit and
press to speak out more plainly and
pointedly on this subject than it lias
heretofore done? The Advocate
thinks so. A religion that does not
teach men l-r «>ay their .honest debts
is not the religion of Christ. A sanc
tity that is compatible with a want
of common honesty is not the sancti
ty taught in the Bible. If men are
wanting in common probity they
should not be tolerated in the Churcn
of God; much less should they be al
lowed to air themselves before our
congregations, as is sometimes the
case.
Tiie people must be taught that it
is a sin against God as well as man
to make debts without the probabili
ty of paving them. They must be
impressed with the truth that it is
better to starve and maintain one’s
integrity, than to live in comfort and
affluence at the sacrifice of principle.
They must be impressed with the
duty and necessity of economy and
frugality, lest the want of these bring
dishonor upon themselves and the
Church of God. They must be urged
to greater industry in order that they
may meet tiie obligations that are al
ready upon them.
In cases where members of the
church can and will not pay their
debts, they should be dealt with as
tiie discipline directs. We desire
that the world should know that the
Methodist Church does not propose
to wink at nor extenuate dishonesty,
whether it bo among tiie lofty or low.
Our mission is “to spread scriptural
holiness over the land,” and it is no
part of holiness to neglect or refuse
to pay one's honest debts.
Tiie church and the world needs a
debt paying revival, and this revival,
like all others should “begin in the
house of God." If we have any
preachers who have been careless in
this matter heretofore, let them pay
up and amend their lives, or else, for
God’s and tiie church’s sake, let them
surrender their credentials and with
draw from the ministry. If we have
any members of the “chief estate in
Israel!'’ who are under a like condem
nation, let them cease their loud pro
fessions of superior sanctity until
they are able to lift up tiie heads of
honest men. If we have any mem
bers, however humble they may be,
who have sinned in this'regard, let
them repent and make restitution,
that times of refreshing may cour,
from tiie presence of the Lord.
This may be plain talk, but it is no
plainer than the ease requires. It is
time that some one should speak out
on this subject. It bus been too
much neglected already by pulpit
and press, or there would not be tne
present necessity for exhortation and
expostulation. If our religion does
not make us honest, of what account
is it? If it lias not power enougli to
induce us to pay the washwoman,
how will it avail us “in the swellings
of Jordan?" It is high time that
there should be a great awakening
on the subject, and tiie Advocate
cheerfully consents to become a tar
get for many “an arrow with venom
ilung,” if it can contribute to the
dawning of such a day,—Southern
Christian Advocate.
How to Be Beautiful.
Here Is a question the maidens are asking:

Another one thinks she's too amau;
Her teeth are not quite as pretty as pearls t
And what shall wo do for these poor, poor

That can not bo happy at all?
And I, who look at them, can not see
Why they are dissatisfied,
They look like a garden of roses in bloom,
Yet over thorn ail there is resting tho

Of somo fancied beauty denied.

If Innocent blushes and heulth be there,

The New Oil Gas.
A DISCOVERY THAT WILL CHEAPEN
FUEL AND ILLUMINATION.
New York Times.
A dispatch from Bolivar, a small
town in Alleghany county, in the oil
region, is as follows; “The little town
of Bolivar has never been so famous
as at present since the first discovery
of oil in this region. The people
seem to talk of nothing but the dis
covery of gas made from crude oil, by
William A. Meyers.” A reporter vis
ited the little oil town to learn the
true facts of the case, and found the
town in great excitement. William
A. Meyers, the inventor, was found at
tho Clark House, and on being asked
about the new light, said:
“I have invented a gas apparatus
by which wo can generate, from one
barrel of crude oil, from 150,000 to
175,000 cubic feet of gas for fuel pur
poses, which will not cost more than
two cents a thousand, and will give
Buch a heat us to melt iron, steel, or
any other metal. We cun also gen
erate by the same process 8,000 cubic
feet of carburetted hydrogen gas,
forty-two candle power by actual
protometer test, for illuminating pur
poses, which will enable us to give to
the public 11 ty to seventy-five cent
gas.”
Upon invitation of Mr. Meyers the
reporter, accompanied by several oth
er gentlemen, visited the office where
the gas was being made on a small
scale. The process is very simple,
and it requires very little machinery.
Mr. Myers exhibited the gas, which
gave a beautiful white light, said to
be far superior to water or coal gas.
“You see,” said the inventor, “that
this process of manufacturing gas is
very simple. We use Lima, O. oil which
costs thirty-five cents by the barrel,
and we can make gas so cheaply that
every poor family can afford to use it.
Why, I can make out of two quarts
of oil enotigh gas to furnish all the
families in Bolfvai*.
Young William K. Vanderbilt’s new
S rivate yacht, Alva, is ready for use.
o monarch or Croesus ever possessed
such a floating wonder. When every
thing whioli Mr. Vanderbilt desires is
on board of it, the craft, finishings and
furnishings will have cost $1,000,900.
Mr. Vanderbilt will cross tiie ocean in
his yacht as soon as the weather be
comes at all favorable. He will join
tiie fashionable yachting excursions
in English, French, Portuguese,
Spanish and Italian waters. He ob
tained carte blanche to the “first
circles,” when lie and Mrs. Vander
bilt were on tiie other side last year.
He is to have houses in botli Paris
and London in which to entertain.
In short, it is understood that hereaf
ter lie will spend tiie best part of his
time in Europe. Mrs. _ Vanderbilt is
very ambitious for social distinction
and Mr. Vanderbilt scarcely less so.
He showed his predilection for fash
ionable ways by his fancy dress bull,
tiie like of which. New York had never
before seen.—John Bwinton’s Paper.
Ten years aga a friend of Miss Julia
Malcolm, of New Haven, Connecticut,
off. rod her, in a joking way, the deed
of certain lands in Colorado, which
were then supposed to be worthless.
Miss Malcolm accepted the gift, put
the deed away and thought no more
of tiie matter. A few days ago, site
received a letter from the President
of a syndicate, offering her $250,000
for the land, on which a valuable lead
mine had been discovered. Miss Mal
colm accepted the offer.

JAIL DELIVERY.
Murderer Captured by J. W. Big-
ham.
On Monday 21st inst., A. J. Crane,
Its' ’
Jailer of Habersham county at
Clarkesville, went luto the corridor of
the jail to get the dinner plates of the
prisoners, alter having made them go
into their aell and as he thought
closed the oell doors by a bolt whioh
fastened them all at one movement.
Tho prisoners, however, had contriv
ed a plan by which they could push
back the bolt and when Crane was
gathering up the dishes and plates,
tho cell doors flew open and four of
tiie prisoners rushed upon and forced
him into a oell and having locked him
in it, ran out, locking the doors be
hind them and made off towards the
nearest woods. A little son of the
jailer quickly gave tiie alarm on the
streets and the Sheriff soon had a
posse of twenty-five men in pursuit
of tho fugitives, two of whom were
recaptured. One of the posse was J.
W. Bigh&m, son of Rev. R. W. Big-
ham, recently the pastor of the
Methodist church in this city, the sou
being it appears the Railroad agent
at Olarkesvillo. Young Bighatn, while
alone, shot and captured Morris, one
of the desperadoes, as appears, by the
following quotation from the Atlanta
Constitution:
“Morris was arrested in about forty
minutes after his escape by J. W. Big-
ham, our depot agent. He was look?
ing for Morris and found him in a
heap of brush in the woods. Bigluuu
raised his splendid repeating rifle and .
ordered him to cotue out and
surrender. He said he would, and
came out, but instead of making the
surrender, drew a pistol and fired at
Bighaiu, which failed to take effeot.
Bighum, seeing his danger, at once
shot his pistol from his hand, tiie ball
through into his knee, which
roke it to pieces, making amputa
tion perhaps necessary. Mr.
Bigbam
showed
the hand that held tiie pistol, and by
not killing him on tho spot, and great
courage in such a close conflict with
so desperate a character.”
Of the four prisoners who made
their escape, R. H. Morris killed his
brother-in-law, Joseph Henderson;
T. C. Justice killed J. B. Hubbard and
John A. Sisk killed Weston Parker.
The fourth wos u negro, in jail for
cattle stealing. Tiie white men were
all (iesperadoesj especially Morris,
who had been tried and condemned to
be hung on ICth April 188(1, but his-.
counsel carried the case to the Supreme
Court and his execution was of course
delayed, as has often been done in
other cases. T. C. Justice was cap
tured tho next day after his escape,
within six miles of Tallulah, Neither
Sisk nor the negro had at last ac
counts been captured. Morris how
ever lost ill's wounded leg by umputa
tion.
FOREIGN NEWS.
All Frencli troops lmve been re

companies. The Budget Committee,
of the Reic.hsrath, by a unanimous
vote, have agreed to the credit of 12,-

A Germuu dispatch, of tiie 22nd, says
that Wolf, Septennist, received 19,628
Verchoiv, new Germau Liberal, 10,702
and the Socialist candidate 14,089.
The prospect is good, itis st i ted, for tiie
success of the Heptenuists. Tiie socia
lists seem to have made a formidable-
increase throughout tiie empire. Dur
ing the davull approaches to tiie pal- '
aces of Emperor William, Crown
Prince, Frederic William, and Prince
Bismarck, Were barred by police. So
far the Government parties gained
13,000 votes and new German Liberals
lost 5,000. From all tiie accounts it
would seem that Germany is greatlv
divided into opposing factions which
looks unfavorable under the prospect
of a war with France, especially, if the
French as a people, ,«re in undisturb
ed sympathy. Perhaps the example
of France, as a republic, is causing
other States in Europe to gravitate
towards Republican Government.
Tiie expulsion of all tiie so-called Prin
ces from France, seemed to have had
no evil effect for tier prosperity on tiie
strange concatenation of events follow
ing her adoption of a republican gov
ernment to tiie present time, seems
to have made her richer and stronger
from year to year. Other States in
Europe have seen this, and are grad
ually preparing to protest against
the prevailing despotisms of former
times and follow her brave regenera
ting example. Thu old tyrannies are
orembling by degrees. The whole
Continent of Europe was under th»
revolting rule of arbitrary govern
ments, but under the splendid exhibi
tion of the national greatness and pu
rity of Republican France, are long
ing for independence and the happier
destinies of freemen. Sooner or later
they will enjoy them.
Virginia is in great financial straits.
Prominent farmers at tiie Farmer’s
Assembly, in sessson at Danville, rep
resent the State as on the border of
ruin, and Gov. Lee is reported to have
said that there is less mouey in the
hands of the farmers than, at any
other time since tiie surrender at Ap
pomattox.
