Passage of Important Appropriation Bills—
An Election Fraud Witness Wanted—The
Chinese Bill a Check to Negotiations—Pos¬
sible Failure of the Army Bill.
[From the Baltimore Sun.]
RUSHING BUSINESS.
Washington, February 18. The
House did business with a rush to¬
day, passing two important harbor appropria¬ and the
tion bills—the liver and
deficiency—under the suspension ol the
rules and without a word of discussion.
The House can easily dispose cf the
ether appropriation bills in a very
short time if so disposed, but it does
. not look as if there was much to show
for the large number of other impor¬
tant measures which are pending.
A MISSING WITNESS.
The Potter committee a short time
since issued a subpoena for Hardy Solo
loon, of the Soutli Carolina Trust
Company, but it has been returned
with the indorsement non esfc. S flo¬
raon was prominently mixed up wn and h
the various'investigations, State
Federal, which have been made into
South Carolina affairs. He is supposed
to know a good deal about the impro
per expenditure of money by Republi¬
can emissaries pending the action of
the South Carolina returning board.
THE CHINESE BILL.
The Secretary of State expresses him¬
self in very vigorous language with
regard to the Chinese bill just passed,
and he will strongly urge the President
to veto it. i ; • tie feecretary considers
the action of Congress as entirely inde¬
fensible. The administration has been
conducting negotiations with with the
Chinese government a view to
modify the present treaty regulations
respecting derstood that immigration, the Chinese and it is un¬
government such
has evinced a willingness to make
changes in the treaty as will he entirely
satisfactory. Of course diplomatic ne¬
gotiations cannot be conducted with
the same railroad speed at which bills
ill-advised are rushed through Congress, and that the
and hasty action ol
body happy is not calculated to accelerate a
cosummation of the negotiations.
THE ARMY BILL.
There is a prospect that the army
appropriation house the other bill may fail unless one
or shall recede from its
position in reference to the army re¬
organization. The Senate Committee
has struck off at one blow the entire
feature of army reorganization adopted
by the House, and will report in favor
of an entirely different plan. Its action
will be sanctioned either wholly or
partly by the Senate, and it mav be
that a conference committee will not be
able to reconcile the difference between
the two houses.

Tv.o Claiming an Heiress.
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars in a
Queer Tangle.
Vincent Baccigalupo and his wife, an
Italian couple, came to the city of
Memphis years ago, and opened a cor¬
ner peanut and fruit stand. Their
business was lucrative, and in a short
time they were able to establish a
small barroom, which, by the care and
attention of Mme. Baccigalupo, became
a favorite place of resort to a profita>
ble class of customers. It was not long
before the couple moved into a more
f ashionable quarter, and opened a still
more attractive and showy place,widen¬
ing the circle of their friends until
Mme. Vincent’s was known far and
wide. Notwithstanding their calling,
both Mme. Vincent and her husband
were highly long respected, he having been
named not ago as a suitable can¬
didate for the office of Ch ief Magistrate
of Memphis. this daughter
At about time a of the
couple, and an only child, who had been
at boarding school, returned
home. She was a young and comely,
her parents rich, and she at once be¬
came a favorite in society, and num¬
bered many eligible young men among
those who paid her attentions.
About this time, too, a brother of
Mme. Vincent, Jas. Brizzolari wss ris¬
ing into notice as a promising lawyer.
He was a member of the Democratic
Executive Committee,and was believed
to have good prospects of a seat in the
lower House of the Tennessee Legisla¬
ture. He had an attractive personal
appearance and winning manners. In¬
censed by a newspaper article which
he construed as reflecting upon him,
he challenged the author,’and a duel
ensued, in which he was wouuded. The
affair caused considerable excitement,
it being conducted in an exceedingly
dignified manner. It had not ceased tc
be the subject of remark when it be¬
came known that Brizzolari had eloped
with his niece, and efforts made to dis¬
cover 1 heir hiding place were in vain
It was not until some years afterward
(hat they were heard of, he as a keep¬
er of a barroom in Fort Smith, Arkan¬
sas, and she, his wife ncf longer, liv¬
ing alone in Little Ilock.
Soon after the elopement another
Italian, Angelo Marse, came to Memp¬
his and established a barroom that
grew into popularity along with its
owner. Alter he had been here three
or four years he was indicted, tried,and
convicted of complicity in the robbery
of the office of the Memphis Chief of
Police and sentenced to a long term in
the Penitentiary. He served three
years and was then pardoned in con¬
sideration cf good conduct. He went
to Little Rock and, meeting Mrs.
Brizzolari, married her. They lived
together until recently, when she aban*
doned him suddenly and went back to
her first husband, her uncle Brizzolari.
The yellow fever of last summer car¬
ried off Mine. Vincent and her husband.
They both died suddenly and intestate.
Their estate is valued at $200,000.
Marse returned at once to this city and
sent a petition to the Governor pray¬
ing to be restored to citizenship. It
was backed by strong recommenda¬
tions and was granted. Just after the
papers had been forwarded to Marse,
the Governor received a telegram from
Brizzolari acted asking that Marse’s Brizzolari petition could
be not upon until
be heard.from. It came too late, and a
suit has been begun for the possession
of the heiress ol the Baccigalupo prop¬
erty, each of the men claimins her as
his wife.

London, Feb. 19.—The Third Bat¬
talion ol the Sixtieth Rifles left Col¬
chester this morning for the Cape of
Good Hope. The streets were decorat¬
ed with flags, evergreens and mottoes.
The corporation presented an address
to the troops, wherein the hope was ex
pressed that they would recover the
colors of the Twenty-fourth Regiment.
Col. Pemberton replied. The troops then
marched to the railway station, accom¬
panied by four regimental bands.
Dr. Butt intends to move in the
House of Commons, shortly, the follow¬
ing resolution : “That in the opinion
of the House it is essential to the in¬

institutions of that country should be
so arranged that Irishmen of all relig¬
ions persuasions should be able to ob¬

New Orleans, February 19.—Re¬

Washington, February 19. — The
Senatorial committee appointed to in¬
vestigate the causes of the omission ol
the Hot Springs section from the sun¬
dry civil bill of last session, unite in
reporting it was a clerical error, made
by the overworked and exhausted
clerks in the last hours of the session.
The committee completely exonerated
Ssnator Conover from any connection
with the omission.
New York, February 19. —Spagno

of Martin Brake, by stabbing him

man who committed the deed.
The World’s Commerce.
Professor Neuman Spallart, of Vien¬
na, has recently issued a treatise on the
commerce of the world, which contains
a carefully compiled statemen of the
imports and exports of all countries
for the year 1876. Reducing his values
to dollars, and stating them in millions,
the totals are as follows;
Imports. Exports.
Europe......... .$5,650,400,000 $4,336,200,000
America....... . 972,800,000 1,107,200,000

. 150.600.000
Total...... 484,400,000 $0,526,000,000
It will be seen from these totals that
the foreign commerce of all nations
combined amounted in 1S76 to $14,
000,400,000, of which $7,484,400,000
co isisted of imports, and $6,526,000,
000 of exports. The total commerce of
the globe is distributed among tbe
several geographical divisions as fol
lows: Europe, 71.25 per cent, of the
whole; America, North and South,
15.28 per cent.r Asia, 8.07 per cent.;
Australasia, 3.29 per cent.; and Africa,
'2.07 per cent.
A comparison of these figures with >
of population will exhibit some j
very remarkable results. The total j
commerce of the several geographical I
divisions compares as follows with their j
populations: j

How to Cuke Warts.—S ome two
months since I noticed in a country
paper a simple remedy to remove
warts. As I had no less than twenty ■
large seed warts on my hands and j
,
smaller ones, 1 applied this! J
remedy, as published, cutting taking a common
Irish potato, it in two and ap
plying the juice over each wart from
two to three times a day. Mine have

What is Honor.
Mr. Frodthingham in his Sunday
lecture, thus talks:
“Honor naturally rises to its own
dignity, and becomes what it is, the last
aroma of the noble in character; the
latest achievement of the great in mind.
What the plant is to the fragrance and
bloom of the flower honor is to the
minds of those who are noble in nature.
Honor is honesty transfigured. Honesty
will make no false invoices, will not
cheat the government, is satisfied with
the letter of the law and the contract ;
but there it shuts down the gates and
goes no further. Honor, on the con¬
trary, reaches beyond the letter of the
contract, and while recognizing busi¬
ness to be business, kindness still holds
its place.
In politics the honest politician has a
single object in view ; his eye is on the
emoluments of power ; he means busi¬
ness; he will not do anything dishonest
—to be ashamed of—or allow himself
to be tripped up, but he will get w hat
be can and remain honest. The man
of honor goes further ; it is the welfare
of the country that is in his mind ; he
gives his aid and co-operation, not for
party politics alone, but in order that
his honorable principles may be trans¬
mitted to future generations for the
good of posterity, Mark the difference
between honor and honesty ! The one
considers only the power of the ballot ;
the other the force and utility of great
ideas. The one comes with his narrow
prejudices to the pursuit of politics;
the other brings to it a wider range of
thought and seeks to widen the horizon
of his mental vision. The difference is
that honor concerns the integrity of the
and honesty that of the will.
