WASHINGTON, Moy 14-Evening.-Tho
bill for a district court in the Indian

plete failure. He favored railroads

mental enforcement bill was resumed,
and finally passed, by 34 to 17. Mr. Thur
man, in the course of debate, said he
thought the bill a fair one, but would
vote against it ou principle. The dis
ouseion was quite exciting over the
various amendments, and indicated the
hopelessness of amnesty this session

thought both Morrill's amendment

dropped, leaving the matter in statu quo.

A STARTLING STORY OP WALL STREE'
LIFE.-Since the days of young Ketch
urn's frauds-by the way, where is y ou nj
Ketchum now?-Wall street has had ni
really first olast pe usa tion, with the ex
ception of the "Black Friday" panic
A few days since, however, it transpire*
that a young mun, named J. Elinor
Davis, a junior partner of tho firm o
Davis & Gunn, one door from the oorne
of Wall street and Broad, had beet
regularly engaged during several month
past in raising money on securities
which did not belong to him. AB ha
been said, young Davis held a small prc
prietary interest in the firm of which hi
father wns senior partner. Mr. Davit
senior, is a gentleman well known o
the street and in New York social circlet
living in handsome style in Twenty
seventh street, and keeping his horse
and carriuge. His family consists c
himself, wife, two daughters, (one e
whom was to have been married nea
week,) and ono Bon, the young ma
spoken of.
For the past two years young Dav
has led a very fast life, having, besidi
two fast horses and th? et cetera of fas!
ionable frivolity, a share in a priva
theatre situate up town. In these wa;
his money-liberally supplied tc him I
his father-has gone, and tho money
others with it.
The first intimation had of the era;
was some six days ago, when a pron
uent Wall street man, residing in Broo
lyn, who held some $35,000 worth
securities from young Davis, drew upc
the firm in the ordinary course of bui
ness for somo money. It so happen
that the real securities, in the possessi?
of another broker, had that same d
been presented to Mr. Gunn, the secoi
member of the firm. An eclaircissemt
ensued, and it was speedily discover
that the securities were forged.
"Who did you get them of?" asked c
Mr. Davis.
"Your sun, sir," replied the broker.
"My son John! Impossible!"
But it was not only possible, but tri
John Elmore Davis was on that moi
ing engaged with a friend out of t
city. He bad not the remotest idea tl
his crime was discovered, and did i

Anora TBS CLOUDS.-Mr. Robert J.
Bell, an assistant observer at the United
States signal station on the summit of
Mount Washington, writes to the Phila?
delphia Bulletin an account of his every?
day experiences above the* olouds. He
was detailed to take the place of William
Stevens, who died in mid-winter, with no
friend near him save his solitary compa?
nion, Sergeant Hearne. A party of stal?
wart mountaineers climbed to tho sum?
mit and tcok the body down for burial.
They placed it in a box fitted to runners,
which was permitted to slide down the
mountain Bide, the men holding on to
ropes attaohed to tho rear to regulate the
motion and direct the course. Mr. Bell
I says:
"We occupy the depot of tho Moun?
tain Railroad, in which we havo two
rooms partitioned off, (ten by twelve,)
securely chained to tho rocks, so that tho
j wind may not blow us away. One we
i use as a kitohou and dining-room, and
the other as a parlor, bed and dressing
room. We also occupy the latter os our
o?lco, in which we keep our barometers
and tolegraphio instruments, the wire
connecting with Littleton, N. H., by
whioh means we are not wholly excluded
from civilization, although I must ad?
mit that visitors are very few-not a sin?
gle one since my glorious ascent.
"We generally supply ourselves in
September with canned provisions suffi?
cient to last throughout the winter,
reckoning, at the same time, to give our
visitors a square meal when they oome.
Oar time we must oooupy chiefly by
reading and studying, for our out-door
amusements uro very scarce. In oase we
do have the pleasure of going outside to
ramble amid tho snow, aud ice on the
rocks, wo are obliged to take advantage
of the same, and exorcise ourselves by
hauling ioe, frost-work and snow, so that
we may procuro tho water necessary for
cooking and driuking purposes, as the
weather is very severe on the summit,
the thermometer nineo my arrival having
been most of the time below zero, and
the wind at a hurricane.
"I will givo you a small idea how we
felt, the thermometer standing nt forty
nine degrees below zero, and the wind
raging at 120 miles per hour. Tho cold
weather which I have reference to oc?
curred on the 5th of March, and the
mode we adopted to keep ourselves warm
was to briug all the coats and overcoats
into requisition during the day, with two
large coal fires continually burning. At
night we took advantage of our 'little
bed,' (which is not n bad one,) with
covering enough to suffocate any man in
ordinary winter weather, and then I
must cou fess we uuffered with the cold.
It was the coldest time that my comrade
and 1 ever experienced. We do not
mind, during the day, tho thermometer
standing at ten below zero, if the wind
does not blow too hard; for then we can
have a little holiday by going outside.
But at night, unless the wind is blowing
at least sixty miles an hour, we cannot
sleep well, for we are too accustomed to
hurricanes."
A SOCIAL MYSTERY.-Remarking upon
tho unwonted number of women who i
have been on trial for great crimes in i
this country and in England during the ;
hint year or two, tho Boston Post says:
"The great criminals of the age seem to i
be no longer hardened and hirsute
ruffians, inflamed by passion, greed or
malignant enmity, but women; and not
only women, but women often of 1
hitherto nnsuspected reputation, comely j
?nd sometimes beautiful in person, I
refined in manners, endowed with educa- i
lion and moving in respectable and even i
uistooratio circles of society." What <
hus produced this mysterious freak in '
the epidemia of sin? Why, in the lan- I
guage of tho Post, "has crime changed <
in its instrument, and taking tho pistol, '
tho dagger and the poison bottle from <
the knotty hands of the bearded villain, <
placed them between the delicate, blue
veined fingers, diamond-studded and
velvot-Bkinued."
The Bangor Commercial t*ays that at a
prayer-meeting held in a church not fur
from that city, recently, a gentlcmau
placed his hat in the aislo beside his
seat, and was greatly surprised upon
seeing it take a start and follow a lady
lowu the aisle, being ciught in her
lress. Uo immediately got dowu on all
fours and went for his hat, but every
limo ho put bis hand out to get it tho
tidy took n step forward, and it was
tept just ont of his reach, und hu did

>f tho aisle. By this timo tho audience

pipe and went out in a hurry.
A TEXAS CITY RESCUED FROM RADICAL
DOMINATION.-At tho municipal election
in Jefferson, Texas, on the 10th instant,
the citizens' ticket triumphed, notwith?
standing more than 100 illegal Radical
rotes were polled, and the oonviots taken
from the jail and oarried to the polls
iud voted for tho Radical candidates,
jefferson was ono of the strongholds of
Radicalism, from an overwhelming black
population and Radical misrule, and the
josue of late military despotism and ty?
ranny.
DEATH OF A COLORED CENTENARIAN.
la Savannah, on Sunday morning, John
Jones, an agel colored man, familiarly
known as "Old Jones," died at the ad?
vanced aged of 103 years. Ho was born
in Nassau, N. P., and went to Savannah
about seventy-five years ago. He was
for many years a servant in the "Min*
nia" family, after whioh ho successively
sorved a number of leading commercial
houses a? porter. He was widely ro
speotod alike by white and black.
It was reserved for Republican Go?
tham to hit upon the extraordinary no?
tion of putting into proxy, not tho bridi
groom, nor yet tho bride, but, of all
people in tho world-tho parson! Thc
newspapers chronicle tho happiness of :
young couple joined in wedlock, as tuc
uotico ran, "by the Ruv. S. II. Tyug
Jr., representing tho Rev. S. ll. Tyug
D. D."
OBSOKKK LUXKitATURE.-A regalar I
campaigri has been commenced in New
York against the sellers and maoufao
tarers of obscene literature. Already ?
three of those establishments bars been
broken up, and their prop rie tr re sent to 1
the Island for the summer. Yesterday,
Morris Beikel was arrested on charge of
manufacturing obscene goods. The
polioe made a descent upon his place in
Nassau Btreet, and seized a large quan
tity of such goods. There were several
young girls and boys employed in the
demoralizing occupation of selling aud
making these goods. Thoy were all
marched to the Tombs, and Justice
Hogan committed Beikel for examina
tion. His employees were detained as
witnesses against bim. Last March a so?
ciety was formed for tho suppression of ob?
scene literature. It is composed of eight
respectable and influential citizens. The
sweiety employs a number of competent
agents and detectives to hunt up the men
that live by this demoralizing traffic.
The law on tho subject at present is
quite stringent, and convictions are
readily had. Under the old regime, it
was almost impossible to obtain a con?
viction. The aooused were always per?
mitted to go on nominal bail and to re?
sume their evil work. The injury to the
morals of the younger portion of the
oommunity, arising from the sale of such
literature, is almost incalculable. The
most vile circulars are passed under the
doors of private bosses, and into young
ladies' colleges and seminaries. The so?
ciety intends to spread its branohes over
every State in the Union. ItB good
effect:: aro beginning to be felt here.
Already several large quantities of books
and plates have been seized, the pro?
prietors of which will be immediately
prosecuted.

A COURAGEOUS YOUNO LADT.-Some
few days since Miss E. C., an estimable
young lady, rebiding near Loretto, while
taking one of her favorite strollo through
a quiet little meadaw, indulging her
roman tic nature by admiring and culling
the first flowers of the season, and feast
ing upon the beauties of spring gene?
rally, was suddenly aroused from the
pleasant and absorbing occupation by
the attack of a rabid dog. Unfortu
nately, her seoluded locality rendered
aid from auy source impossible. Poe
sessing, however, an extraordinary
amount of self-possession, instead of
giving vent to her inclinations icecreams
and cries, as many of her sex would
haTe done nuder such oiroumatances,
she deliberately seized her formidable
adversary by the throat, at the same
time looking, but ia vain, for a weapon
of some kind. After holding him fast a
few minutes, her presence of mind
growing more acute from this trying di?
lemma, she closed her tiny hand, and
with the defenoe of nature she pummel?
led tho cur so furiously over his head
that ho succeeded in liberating himself
from her grasp, and fled from the scene
of aotion with the rapidity of a rein?
deer, leaving Miss C. to exult over her
prowess, thus rescued, as it were, from
the very jaws of death. The dog has
since died from well marked symptoms
of rabies, although some are pleased to
attribute bis demise to congestion of the
brain, caused by the concussion re?
ceived at the hands of Miss 0.
I Tappahannock Index.
A REMARKABLE MAN.-The Marquis of
Camden, who died a fortnight ego, was
grand-son of the first Marquis, who may
be fairly regarded os one of the most re?
markable men in his own country. That
Qoblemun held the patent place of Teller
af tho Exchequer, an absolute sinecure
with soma SGL),OOO a year. When he had
held it some years, he came to the con?
fusion that the existence of such a place
was an absolute fraud upon the nation,
ind resigned it. His act was the more
creditable in that he was by no means a
rich man. A parallel case was that of
the late Lord Tauton, long kuown as Mr.
Labouchere. At the outset of railway
niter prise, his father was fiercely preju
liced against those dreadful innovators, 11
which were to demoralize the whole
world. He stoutly opposed the passage
>f the Great Eastern Railway bill; but
.hiding that the company was too strong |
'or him, aud that tho line must pass
through his estate, he made the most
intrugeous terms, with which the com
jauy was forced to comply. When bis
iou succeeded, ho sent the company a
?heck for a largo sum, saying that he
.ould not afford to profit by his father's
