From Washington.
(From the Baltimore Sun.]
Washington, Feb. 10.—A leading
Republican Senator said to-day that
the Republicans of the Senate
would not consent to the repeal of the
political legislation which the House
Democrats propose to put on to the
appropriation bills. He said the
Senate Republicans fully appreciate the
fact that the Democrats will be able to
repeal the election laws, ect., when the
next Congress meets, but that does
not lessen their responsibility. He was
satisfied that if the House forced the
issue the Senate would let the appro
priation bills fail sooner,than consent
to adopt the repeal at the dictation of'
the other branch.
THE EXTRA SESSION QUESTION.
Among other rumors flying around
the Capitol to day was one to the effect
that certain prominent heretofore Democrats de¬ of
the House, who have
clared themselves as opposed to changed an ex¬
tra session of Congress have
front and are now bending their ener¬
gies in that direction.
The probability is that there is no
very strong foundation for this rumor,
although is is nevertheless true that
the leaders on the Democratic side are
apparently viewing with perfect in¬
difference the rapidly approaching Little ter¬
mination of the session. or no
objection is made to special orders, aud
the appropriation bills are not pushed
with any spirit. The session will close
in three weeks from to-morrow.
Speaker Randall says, however, that
there will be no trouble in getting
through, but of course he means this
in case there should be no clash as to
political legislation between the two
houses.
So tar as the Senate is concerned it
seems now to be the general impresason
that there is a probability of its being
called to meet in executive session by
the President on the 4th of March.
There is said to be some executive
business which cannot very well be
disposed of at this session, and which
cannot conveniently go over till De¬
cember. Among other things it is said
that two or three Senators whose term
of service will expire on the 4th of
March want to be appointed to foreign
missions, and that they do not want,
to make their arrangements and go
abroad until they are confirmed. In the
event of a called session of the Senate
it is not probable that it will last be¬
yond s week or two.

MR. iildi.n.
A gentleman of intelligence and ot
high personal the character, who was pre Mr. -1 j
sent during examination of
Tiidofi before the Potter committee at
New York, says that he thicks every
unprejudiced person should now be en¬
tirely satisfied that Mr. Tilden had no
knowledge of any dishonorable attempts
to influence the action of the returning
boards in his behalf. He says that
Mr. Tilden displayed wonderful men¬
tal activity, as sharp and clear as steel.
But his physical powers are evidently
on the wane, the palsy affection with
which he is afflicted having made un¬
mistakable inroads on his frame. The
gentleman thinks it extremely probable Tilden
that the death will prevent Mr.
from being a disturbing element in the
next National Democratic Convention.
A personal friend of Mr. Tilden, to
whom the above was repeated, says that
Mr. Tilden certainly does not look very
robust, but that he is no more feeble
now than he has been at most any time
during the last three years.
GIFTS FROM FOREIGN POWERS.
The Secretary of the State transmit¬
ted a short time ago to the House com¬
mittee on foreign affairs a letter of Mr.
Bingham, the United States minister to
Japan recommending the passage of a
general law permitting all gifts made
by foreign government to citizens of
the United States to be received free
of duty. The Secretary indorsed this
suggestion of Mr. Bingham, as also
another, that Congress set aside a sum
of money, subject to the dispssal of the
Secretary of State, to make gifts to
foreigners for such services as may, in
his opinion, warrant their donation.
committee very properly decline

would open wide the gates for

and inadvisable.
THE SUGAR TARIFF.
The sugar refining interests met with
defeat by the agreement of the House,
a vote of almost three to one, to fix
the 13th, for the considera¬
of the sugar tariff bill. The indi¬
from the vote to-day are that
bill of the committee is much
than had been of the expected, influen¬ not¬
some most
members of the committee are op¬
to it. The vote was 1G0 yeas to
7 nays. The fate of the bill is by no
certain, however.
A Marvelous Boy.
In the Autumn of the year 1814, I
reading with a private tutor, the
of Wellington, Somersetshire,
a Mr. Bidder called upon him
exhibit the calculating power of his
boy, then about 8 years old, who
neither retfH nor write. On this
he displayed great facility in
mental handling of numbers, mul¬
readily and correctly two fig¬
ures by two, but falling in attempting
numbers of three figures. My tutor, a
Cambridge man, Fellow of his college,
strongly recommended the father not
to carry his son about the country, but
to have him properly trained at school.
This advice was not taken, for about
two years after he was brought by his
father to Cambridge, and his faculty of
mental calculation tested by several
able mathematical men. I was pres
ent at the examination, and began it
with a sum in simple addition, two
rows with 12 figures in each row. The
boy gave the correct answer imme
diately.
Various questions, then, of consid
difficulty, involving large num
hers, were proposed to him, all of which
ansvVered promptly and accurately,
must have occupied more than an
hour. There was then a pause. To
test his memory, I then said to him.
“Do you remember the sum in addi
tion I gave you ?”
To « reat 8U ]f rise ’, he re l’ e “ ted

The Pot of Gold.
“A cobbler in Somersetville dreamed
that a person told him that if he

He dreamed the same the next
and again the night alter. He
determined to go to London Bridge,
and walked thither accordingly. When
arrived there, he walked about the
the first day without anything oc¬
curring ; the next day was passed in a
similar manner. He resumed his place
the third day, and walked about till
evening, determined when, giving it up as hopeless,
he to leave London and
return home. At this moment a stran
ger came up and said to him : T h ;ve
seen you for the last three days walk¬
ing up and down this bridge ; may I
ask if you are waiting for any one ?’
The answer was, ‘No 1’ ‘Then what is
your object in staying here ?’ The cob¬
bler then frankly told his reason for
visited being there and the dream that h'id
him three successive nights.
The stranger then advised him to go
home again to his work, and no mo;e
pay any attention to dreams. ‘I myself,’
he said, ‘had, about six months ago, a
dream. I dreamed three nights to¬
gether that, if I would go into Somer¬
setshire, in an orchard, under an apple
tree, I should find a pot of gold ; but
I paid no attention to my dream, and
have remained quietly at my business.’
It immediately occurred to the cobbler
that the stranger described his own
orchard and his own apple tree. He

Davis Unable to Visit Macon
at Present,
Letter From The Ex-President.
“Some time since,” says th Telegraph
ladies Messenger , “it was determined by
the of the Memorial Association
to invite Mr. Davis to Macon, while in
Georgia, to deliver an address for the
benefit of the Memorial monument in
Macon. The aniiouncment having been
made that he would visit Atlanta soon,
correspondence was opened, and yes¬
terday the following reply was received
by a gentleman of this city. We deep¬
ly regret to learn that Mr. Davis is
forced to decline, as his admirers aud
friends, who make up our population,
would be delighted to have him among
them and clasp hands with him once
more for the sake of the days which
have faded like a dream, and left their
memories sweet and mournful.”
Beauvoir, Miss., Feb. 7, 1879.
Mr. . Dear Sir: Yours of the
30th ultimo has been leceived. The
announcement to which you refer that
I would soon be in Atlanta, and pro¬
bably lecture, was wholly unatborized.
My engagements and circumstances
have not permitted If me to entertain any
such purpose. it were practicable
for me to do so it would give me great
pleasure to visit Macon, and especially
to meet the wishes of the Ladies
Memorial Association.
I am sincerely grateful for the kind
feeling which you assure me exists
among the people of your section. To
believe that they would welcome, will
be a continuing consolation even if it
should not be my fortune personally to
realize the manifestation of their re¬
gard.
Accept my cordial thanks, and be¬
lieve me to be yours faithfully,

Eternal Punishment.
There is something shocking to
natural instincts in the
0 f unbaptized infants, understood in
coarse and popular sense, as when, e.g
,
or one of his followers speaks,
i n perfect consistency with the princi
pies of his horrible theology, of
a span long, crawling about the floor
of hell.” But no such monstrosity is
involved in the Catholic doctrine.
Sarpi says that the Tridentine fathers
hesitated whether they should not
j condemn this Lutheran and Calvinist
tenet of the fiery torment of unchris
tened infants as a formal heresy. St.
Bernard, who is quoted by Jeremy
Taylor, had said four centuries before,
“Nihil ardet in inferno nisi propria
voluntas.'’ Unbaptized infants, who
have been raised by no sacrament from
the condition of original sin, and who,
dying before the use of reason, have
had no opportunity of corresponding
with grace, are indeed “damned” in
the sense that they cannot attain to the
beatific vision, for which their natural
capacities do not qualify them. As
they had not been raised on earth they to
the state aptitude of supernatural the life grace, of
have no for super¬
natural glory.
And this is, of course, in itself, a
most momentous “loss” (or damnation)
as compared with the future state
of the glorified But it is no conscious
loss to them. Still less does it imply
any suffering of body or soul. On the
contrary, it is consistent with the high¬
est enjoyment of natural beatitute and
with a natural knowledge and love of
God. They are in what would have
been Adam’s condition if he had
neither fallen into sin nor been endow¬
ed with original justice. Balmez aud
other Catholic authorities hold that
this principle may be extended to the
case of adults, especially in heathen
nations, who die with their moral and
intellectual faculties so imperfectly regarded de¬
veloped that they may children be .—Oxcnham as,
