A hill has been introduced into
Congress providing the -evt-rr?t penalties
aguinst any candidate tor Congress ,
who "treats" either before or alter;
election. This is a step in the direction
of economy and retrenchment that
wili be bitterly denounced as a piece i
<;t unadulterated meanness and de-;
pravity by the "boys."'
Russia.*s disgraceful persecution of
the Jews has evoked a mammoth mass
meeting in London, at which such men
as the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Cardinal Manning and Canon Farrar '
were present, wliiie letters were rend
7 \
from Tennyson, Spurgeon and many
other notables. It is gratifying to j
learn thai the Czar has determined to
become tolerant, and has given orders ;
to revoke some of the most oppressive
decrees airain?t the Hebrew race.i
i
llnssia chastised Turkev severe!v for,
?g-cA.'vT
_ her barbarous persecutions, and now
deserves e^ual chastisement for persisting
in a course which, according t<>;
the resolutions parsed at the London ,
meeting, "tent's to degrade ties* in \r.<
eyes of Christians."
Thk Co;.?mis>ioHcr of Pensions ro
ports to Coii^t-ess that if all the pension
claims of the late w;;r he pa>-efi
l?v 18&>. and after that the claim* for
i
he Mexican war be allowed. the gross
* sum required to pay them viil amount
io ?1.3-17,Go1.593 by tlie year I'JOil, of:
which $ "> 1 >00 will be for Mexican
Avar claims. The annual expenditures
decrease froui .$G3,000,000 a year t<>
$23,000,000. This is more than a!
billion of dollars, and as it is notorious j
that pensioners never die. the census!
wimmisiimioi- lii; in f?H '
under-estimated the actual expendii
tires. If this money went direct to
? deseiving pensioners all would be well.
?but the charge is made that most of it
will be thrown away on frauds and I
pension agents.
Ji*d?e Cox has sentenced Guiteau to j
be hanged on the 30th of June next.
When asked what he had lo say, the
condemned man spoke as follows:
'*1 am not guilty of the charges set
forth in the indictment. It was God's |
act, not mine, and God will take care 1
of it. and don't let the American people
forget it. He will take care of it.
?nd eve>*y officer of this Government,
from the Executive down to that Marshal,
taking in every man on that jury
and everv member of this bench, will
pay for ic: and the American Nation j
will roll in blood if ray body goes into
the ground and 1 am hung. Tlx? Jews
put the despised Gallilean into the
grave. For a time they triumphed, J
but at the destruction of Jerusalem, j
forty years afterward. God Almighty j
got even with them. I am not afraid ;
of them. Iam here as God's man. j
3vi!l me to-morrow, if you want. Iam j
< iod's man, and I have been from the i
fctart/'
After the sentence was passed he re-1
peated the above remarks with some
variations. Scoville is willing to ' sell j
Hiuitean's body to an embahner for ex-1
hibition, on ihe ground that body j
snatchers would get it anyhow, and it
might as well be made safe at once.
Guiteau says he will give his body to
science when he dies, but that will be j
a long way oft'. IJe says he will be all j
right when he gets to the Supreme i
Court.

Contingent funds are notorious I
vehicles for questionable expenditures, i
nhd the contingent fund of the House |
of Representatives at "Washington is |
no exception. The clerk's official re-1
port gives a list of "newspapers" pur- j
chased for the use of members. Among j
these are found such names as the following:
Little Buttercup, Little Tot, Pretty j
Peggy. Fine Grey Girls, Lass o' Lowrie,
Chatterbox, Wonder Eyes, Alice
in Wonderland, Lucille, Jack and Jill,
Boys of 76, Young Mariners. Drifting
Round the World, Bodley Afloat, Wide
Awake, Under the Lilacs, Under the
Window, Ups and Downs. Afternoon
Tea, Odd and Even, Which Wins, We
Are Seven. Paul and Virginia, Swiss
Family Robinson, Royal Road. Robinson
Crusoe, Thaddeus of Warsaw,
King Arthur, Lord Bacon, Charles
James Fox, Arabian lights, Endvtnion,
Zigzag Journey; Home, Sweet
Home; Cookery Book, JEsop's Fables
itnd Errors of Speech.
Then comes the following choice
melange:
Three Bibles, two Testaments, one
cribbage board, one pair of razors, one
vrhiriigig, one fan, one parchesa, three
jx>ems, four garlands, two dozen fruit
knives, one dolphin charm, one Worcester's
speller, one Leatherstocking
Tales, two graphiscopes, one and a
dozen illuminated bees, one odor case,
t wo sets of <rems, one nest of trays,
four dozen japanned pincushions, one
tobacco box, sixteen games, four opera
glasses, one exchange on opera glass
and two Johnson's Poets.
Some imagination is required to
classify the Bible as a newspaper, j
though its teachings light be news to j
bouie^iiigtited Solon, and its pur- <
^-?-tfliase under any name should be en- {
coaraired. The snellinor book and!
' Errors in Speech" are likewise highly
commendable. But a whirligig,
illuminated bugs, fruit knives and the
dolphin charm might well be spared.:
-Up sand Downs" was evidently pur- j
cha?ed for Godlove Orth. "We Are ;

The Bailrcad Bill.
T!:o two houses have at last agreed
as to tlae details of the Railroad bill,
about v? hich there has been so much
discussion. The Hopse changed the
i>iii in several particulars, the most
important ol wnieh are the reduction
of the the number of commissioners
from three to one, and liberalizing the
section in reference to consolidation of
railway companies. The original bill
was very strict in tiiis matter and
ended to prevent this consolidation
rind absorption, but the House took a
dili'erent view and made it a simple
matter. After the reception of the
conference committee's report. Senator
Smythe entered a protest la behalf of
Senator (jaillard ami himself. Thev
hud served on the commission without
bias. and had aided in a careful preparation
of the bill. As now amended
it is entirely different from what they
conceived it should be. "The unlimited
right to consolidate and guarantee
arc condemned by the soundest thinkers
on this subject."
Senator Smvthe then wont on to
deplore the unhealthy railroad fever
that has seized the State; and by virtue
oi wnicn towns ana counties are incurring
burdens of debt that in the
end will bring embarrassment if not
disaster.
There is much force in these words.
Railroads are admirable institutions;
and, up to a certain point, they vastly
improve the country through which
they pass. But so soon as they are
multiplied loo greatly, and thus tail to
become paying investments, they entail
disaster on the communities that have
invested in them. Railroad building
produced the panic of 1873. Millions
on billions of dollars were withdrawn
from active circulation and expended
in the Northern Pacific and other un
{'I UilV/.l. iX? 14"* Hii?3
tal was consuming, flash limes were
enjoyed. But when it had all been
invested, and 110 returns by way of
dividends came back to the ?tockho!ders,
and when bondholders clamored
for interest, a sudden revulsion ensued.
The property wa? sacrificed at a nominal
value, and all railroad stocks
depreciated while some became worthless.
The whole financial structure
went like a card house.
The recent boom has started railroad
building again, and even our own
btate is wild on the subject. Prices
are inflated owing to the competition
of rival lines to secure new outlets or
connections. While this lasts all is
well. But at no time are we safe from
danger. It is not wise to build too
many roads; and towns and counties
should not recklessly burden themselves
with debt. During the 3nsh
times preceding 1S73 towns and counties
out West invested heavily in railroads,
and they have suffered greatly.
Missouri especially was much embarrassed,
and a general effort was made
by counties to repudiate their liabilities
on technical grounds, but the Supreme
Court of the United States held them
to their bonds, and they still gro*n.
"While we have no desire to discourage
internal improvements, we deem
it a duty to emphasize Senator Smythe's
warning, and to urge the people of the
State to hasten slowly, lest their profits
of the past few years be swept away
by over speculation.

Professor Perry, of Williams College,
shows that the present duty of
thirty-five cents on cotton ties causes
the planters to pay over seven hundred
thousand dollars extra for baling their
cottoo; while the proposed increase to
seventy per cent, would make the burden
exceed fourteen hundred thousand
dollars every year. Again, he shows
that the tariff 011 steel amounts to six
dollars on every bar of railroad iron,
or over three thousand dollars per mile
of single track, to pay for which
freights and passenger fares must be
proportionate! v increased. It has also
been shown that alpaca, costing seven
and one-eighth cents per yard in England,
pays a duty of five cents and is
sold here at twenty cents a yard. This
is a burden on the poor. On cashmere,
which costs 2Gcents in England,
the duty i? cents, and the price in
America is i>o cents. The English lady
while the American pays $5.50, of
which $1.85 is in the way of duty, or
one-third of the entire cost. Congress
also imposes a duty of thirty-five per
cent, on every shirt, sheet, napkin and
spool of thread which is used. A suit
of clothes for a gentleman which costs
$15 in London, reaches $30 in Xew
York, and a $20 blue suit in England
is a 840 suit in New York. So in
Loudon the most fashionable tailor
makes to order best black doeskin

is. in thus endeavoring to place him- \

iy a matter of conjecture.
Senators generally, as well as mem- j

Gen. Kennedy, Colonel Haskell and j

determined to prevent a collision, it.
is not doubted that a light would result
seriously. Mr. Fishburne is desperate
and determined, and Mr.
iMiiythe while trying to avoid an unnecessary
combat will defend himself if
attacked.
Senator Fishburne is still confined
in Richland jail comfortably cared for.
His course is generally regarded as a
political investment.. He said to Sheriff
Ito wan yesterday: "This is a big
boom for my third party movement."
His second arrest yesterday was made
at his own request. He was offered a
release to-day, the terms being his
own word that he would keep the
r?eac?. but he positively- declined. This
confirms the opinion that he wants* to I
be regarded as a political martyr, how- j
ever fallacious that idea may be considering
the fact that there is nothing
in the whole affair that will sustain the
plea or even resemble political persecution.
Later.?Mr. Fishburne gave bond
and was released late this afternoon,
in the sum of two thousand dollars,
Dr. Bissel, of Collstou, becoming- bin
surety. A. M. II.
Another Encounter.
Columbia, S. C., February 3.?A
pugilistic conflict between LieutenantGovernor
Kennedy und Senator Fishburne
occurred on the adjournment of [
the Senate to-day. Senator Fishburne j
had spoken long arid loud in favor of j
his anti-Stock Law bill. His motion !
to make it the special order for to-1
morrow was voted down. He seemed
to become angry and resorted to all
sorts of dilatory motions, and rising to
points of order without being able to
state one. President Kennedy was
forced to rap him to silence. When
the Senate adjourned Mr. Fishburne
approached Gen. Kennedy as he came
uown from the chair and accused him
of ruling unfairly against him. Gen.
Kennedy replied:
"Oh no, 1 didn't; you impose 011 my
goodness."
Fishburne retorted angrily, and called
Gen. Kennedy a *'d?d liar."
Gen. Kennedy answered the insult
with a powerful blow with his fist,
knocking Fishburne across a desk.
Senators separated them, and prevented
further blows for the time being.
As General Kennedy was passing out
of the State House yard, Mr. Fishburne
ran to him from behind, endeavoring
to attack him with a stick, but was
prevented by several gentlemen present
At tine nninf Fishhnme cursed
Kennedy with the foulest language. I
The crowd passed on, and Fishburne j
overtook Gen. Kennedy v.*lum near |
Stork's restaurant, on Main street, and j
made a desperate blow at him with a j
heavv walking stick. General Kcnne- ;
dv avoided the blow and rgain wilh a !
tremendous stroke knocked Fishburne j
down, this time taking hold of him.!
lie was "using him up" roughly when j
friends puil :d them apart. General
Kennedy and party continued to the '
Columbia Hotel. While General Kcn- i
nedv was at dinner Fishburne entered j
the rotunda of the hotel with a huge
stick and took a seat in waiting. Mr.
Low ranee, the proprietor, sent for
Sheriff Rowan who came and arrested
Fishburne. He was taken before Justice
Marshall, and his bondsmen, Uis- j
sell and Jenkins, then delivered him j
up. Fishburnc?s bail was denied by !
Justice Marshall, and Fishburne, who :
is now in custody of the her iff, will j
endeavor to obtain a release under a I
writ of habeas corpus before Chief!
Justice Simpson,
The case will probably ho heard to- i
nijrht. There is talk amongst Senators !
of steps being: takon looking to Fish- i
burue's impeachment. It is so near I
tlic end of the session that this will
probably not be done.
Popular sentiment here sustains:
General Kenned.' in what i>e did.

When Colliding and Piatt
resigned, a Judy asked a
(,'ongressman what effect the ie-ii??:a- i
lion would have upon the country?
lie replied ir is impossible to toli yet.
We must wait and sec what uttilude
the papers will take.
In this temporizing aire it is noi an
easy matter to understand newspaper
' attitudes" always. In their anomalous
positions towards temperance 1
am often reminded of Gniteau's j'.iryniau
who was "not a Mason, nor ex- j
aetly a church member." They are
"not opposed to tempera nee" they say.
but then, as far as their utterances go,
they arc nor opposed to intemperance
either. "They are waiting in the
trough of the sea, ready to mount the
coming1 wave." Let me assure them, |
that will be the "temperance" wave,
and we know what we say.
The lion. Theodore Frelinghnysen
said in the eapitol at Washington:]
"The influence of woman is the great
cssentiai to the triumph of anv great
aiui good cause, a'.id if that influence
which God lias so graciously given her
should he exerted in favor of the temperance
reformation its triumph would
be certain and complete.'' She is ex- j
erting her influence all over the land. |
and the doom of the dreadful traffic j
which invades every domestic hearth, i
pervades every social circle, knows no i
truce, listens to no appeal for quarter,;
people' the graveyards and recruits:
the armies of eternity with lost souls, i
is doomed, forever doomed! In every ;
town and city in the land wives and j
mothers are calling upon God to rescue j

misery into winch they arc plunged
without any fault of their own. And i
d> you tiiink their cry will be unheeded
bv llim who rules in the armies j
of heaven? Never! The Tyrant Alcohol,
like the Tyrant Sisera, will fall
by woman's work and iu answer to
wom iii's prayer.
The W. <J. T. IT. is working on every
temperance line day and night. We
are too busy to take the time to tell
what we are doing. To those who
have been "waiting until public opinion
made temperance work respect*-1
ble" we would say that in England i
temperance meeting* arc presided over j
bv liie vicc-chancellor. and the Oxford !
professors are the speakers. Fourteen j
thousand clergymen of the Church ot!
England signed I tie temperance petition.
In our own country at the
National Capitol, a few weeks ago,
nearly three hundred Indies of wealth,
intelligence and social position assembled
to hold a temperance convention:
wives of senators and governors were
among the delegates. North Carolina
and Georgia bo:h have their governor's
wives as State presidents. Senators
were granted leave of absence from
committees toj visit aud address the
convention.
And ih;i President of the United
States himself postponed imjwrtant
business and received the ladies, not.
as' the liquor dealers tried to report,
"among decanters and dirty tumblers,"
but just as a Presiden t of the United
States should have done?in a state
parlor, fragrant with flowers, which
he graciously selected from to present.
The delegates weie the invited guests
in the most eleganthomns in Washington.
I had the great good fortue to be
entertaiued in the home of Senator
Blair, of New Hampshire, who with
his wife were so devoted to the Southern
representatives that we presented
her with a bouquet of Southern flowers.
The acknowledgment of them is
so characteristic of tihe lovely woman
who made it, that I want the women
of the State to hear it:
' Mrs. Chapiu and Ladies of the
Southern States: 1 arn deeply touched
bv this gift of flowers, because of the
kindliness which I know prompted the
bestowal. No one could appreciate
tue gracious sentiment or tnese roses
more than I do. They stand for affection.
Let them be for a sign between
thee and me, and between thy people
and my people.
"The love of woman, it is said, has
always been a great factor in affairs
civil as well as religious, and between
us, whose swords have severed and
wounded, it is eminently -fitting that
this strong compelling force should
unite and heal. Come to our Northern
homes, ladies, and see us, and what
you did for our Miss Wiliard we will
do for you.
"Not knowing us, you may suppose
that we are cold and uncongenial, but
you will find that in the crevices of
our rough ledges the harebells grows,
and all along our highways bloom tne
forget-me-nots."
One intellectual and {scholarly old
gentleman caine up to me and said:
If the2sor:h and South had left the
peace-making to the women it would
have been accomplished long ago.
They know what they are doing and
exchange flowers and gentle words.
The men got to drinking together (for
it really seems that's the only way they
have of entertaining one another), and
it takes us six months to court-martial
them and apologize for what they have
said and done after they get home.

"It was heartrending. I never heard

came the final crash that caused the
death and mutilation, and piled the
wreckage up against the root' of the

we were talking about the Manchester
accident. I said that such an accident

Horrible Outrage at Greer's.?
Parties arriving froom Greer's state
that a horrible crime was committed at
a short distance from that station on
Friday afternoon. It is said that while

was on her way home fro 31 the station,
a white tramp accosted her wheu she
had gone but a short distance, and after
using very insulting language,
which she indignantly repelled, criminally
assaulted her. He then fled precipitately,
and before she could procure
assistance escaped. Great excitement
prevails in the neighborhood and
immediate vengeance is threatened the
moment the scoundrel is captured.
Captain Greer received a teiegrum
from the station on Friday night requesting
him to arrest a white tramp
with brown clothes, white hat, red hair
and whiskers, and about five feet ten
inches tall. This is no doubt the party
who committed the infamous act, and

ccllence and variety his tables laid
those of the Central completely in the
shade. Hp fiuallv secured seven of the
number, v. ii > proceeded to ms nasnerv <
and called tor fifteen cents meals which
the proprietor furnished, but when the
board was spread the guests, by their '
remarkable capacity for getting outside
of victuals, caused Burwell to
stand aghast at the prospects. To meet
the damage he suffered from the crowd
he decided to settle on a twenty-five 1
ccnts basis, and when he called for the 1
cash his guests refused to pay but 1
fifteen cents*and Burwell, to save his 1
establishment from bankruptcv, rush- :
cd forth, secured a policeman and had
them arrested. A party in the city '
went security for the negroes, who
went on their way. and yesterday 1
morning Burwell got judgment against
the bondsman for seventy ccnts, which
will enable him to continue in the
business.? Charlotte Observer.
