Witih wild y el and beeding wounds of his own lacera tion he flies down the bill. Back to the boats, ye d&hermen, and put out to sea and esespe assassinatzor! But Cbrist stands his grounor; so do the disciples. -nd as this 11kin fury, w'th goasbiog teeth and Uplifwd fi'ts, dashes at Ctirisk, Cbrist sav : lLnd; c1i1 Down at my feet, tbcu poor sufi'-rer," and the dem<.niac drops harmlez-. ex hausted,worshipful. "Away, ye.devils!" commanded Cbrist, and the 2,000 fiends which bad been tormenting the poor man are transterred to the 2,000 swine. which go to sea with iheir accursed carzo. The restored demoniac sits down at Christ's feet and evants to stay there. Christa says to him practically: "Da not stop. You have a mission to cxe cute. Wash (ff the filta and the wounds in the sea, smootL your dtsbeveled locks, put on decent apparel and go straight to your desolated home and tell your wif 5 and children that ycu will no more af fright them, and no mcre do Lem hatm; that you are restored to reason, and that I, ournipotent bon c f God, am entitled hereafter to the worship cf your entire household. 'Retura to ttmn own house and shew how great things God hatih done unto thee." Yes, the beuse, the home, is the first place where cur religious gratitude ought to be demonstrated. Ia the outside world we may seem to have re'igion when we have it not but the home tests wbether oar religion is geonine cr a snmm. What makes a happy home? Will, one would say a house with great wide hslls, and autlered deer heads, and parlors with sculpture anid bric a brac, and dinirg ball with evs chair and plenty ot liznt, and eunravingts of game on the wall, and sleeping *.part ments commodious and.adorned. N-. In such a vlace as that eigantic wretcbed ness has sometimes dwelt, while some cf you look back to your father's house, where they read their Bibble by the light of a tallow candle. Tnere were no car pets on the floor save those mvde ior.n the rags which your inother cut oue niL h! by night, .you helping viod r em into a ball, and then rentt to the weaver, who brought them to shape under his slow shuttle. Nos a 1uxury in all the hou~e! But yoa Cannot think c.f it inis mornn with,>ut teartul ana gr'-adul emotion. You aend I have found out tbat it is not rich tapestry, or gorgeous architecture, or rare art that makes a happyvhome. The six wise men of Greece gave pre scriptions for a happy home. 8:>lon say a abh~ippy home is a place where a mad.a estate was gotten without injustice, kept without disquietude and spen.t without repentance. Cbtio says that a happv home is the place where a man rules as a monarch a kingdom. Bias says ibat a happy home is place where a man does voluniatrily what by law be'is compeilen to rio abroad. But you and I, unde r a grander light, give a better prescription. A happy home is a place where the kind ness ot the gospel of the Son of God has full swing. While I speak this morniog there is kncchinst at y our frant door, if he be not already admitted, one wbcse locks are iwet with the dews of the mieht, who would take your children into his arms and would throw upon your nursery, and your sleeping apartments. and your drawing room, and your entire h- use a r.lann, that will make you rich while you live and be an inheritance to your1 children after gou have done the last day's wotk for their support and made for them the last prayer. It is the illustri ous one who said to the man of my text, "Return to thine own house and shew how great things God hath done unto thee." Now, in the first place, we want religion in our domestic duties. Every housekeeper needs ereat grace. I If Martha bad had more religion, she 1 would not have rushed with such bad temper to scold Mary in the presence ot I Christ. It is no small thing to keep or der, and secure cieanliness, and mend bceakages, and achieve economy; .ands cotrol all the afiairs of the household ad vantageously. Expenses will run up, 1 store bills will come in twice as large as 1 you think they cught to be, furniture will wear out, carpets will unravel, and the] martyrs of the fire are very few in com parison with the martyrs ot housekeep mng. Yet there are hundreds of people in this church this morning who in their homes are managing all these afiairs| with a composure, arn adroitness, an in genuity and a faithfulness which they v never could have reached but for the grace of our practical Christianity. Tbe exasperations which wear out others have been to you spiritual development and sanctification. Employments which seemed to relate only to an hour have| on them all the grandeurs of eternal his-|1 tory. You need the rehgaion of Christ in thel disciplmne of your children. The rod which in other homes may be the first means used in yours will be the las'. There will be no harsh epithets-"you knave, you villain, you scoundrel, I'll| trash the life out oi you; you are the 4 worst child I ever knew." .All that| kind of chastisement makes thieves pick pockets, murderers an4 the outlaws oi society. That parent who in anger strikes his child across the head deserves the penitentiary. And yet this work of discipline mast be attended to. God's grace can direct us. Alas, for those who come to the work with fierce passion and recklessness! Between serverity and laxativeness there is no choice. Both ruinous and both destructive.. But there is a healthful medium which the grace of God will show to us. Then we need the religion of Christ to help usin setting a good example. Cow per said of the oak. "Tine was when settled on thy leaf a fly could shake thee to the root. Time has been when temp. est could not." In other words, your children are very impressible just now. They are alert; they are gatheriog im pressions you have tao 'idea of. Have you not been surprised sometiies, months or years after some conversation which you supposed was tco proiound or intricate for them to understund-scome question of the child demonstra~ted the' tact that he kne w all about ? Your c'tildren are apt to think that what you ao is right. T~ ey bave n'u ideal of truth cr ri teousner a but y ouri self.

Ytur laugh, youi f-own, Ncur dress, your walk, youl Lre eti- p. :;our etodbys, your comings \our goings, ,our. habits at the table, the toues of- vour vo:ce, are makmz an im tression whIch will last a million year after you are dead, Pnd the sun will b 'xinLuished, and the mountains wil cumbile, and the world will die, an( --ternitv will roil on in perpetual ciOce1 nut ibere w.11 be no dimurition of ;ht ta-rce of \uur conduct upon the. yount es that saw it or the yonng ears tha he(ard it. N mw, I wid'd rot have by this th dOea _rven ;> you that Iou must be 11 co-ld reserve ii the preseoct of your ebil dren. Your are not eropfror; 3ou ar comonion witb them. As far as yor can you must waik with them, skate witl them. tly kite with them, play ball wiQ them, slow them Obat you are in erestet in all tL at interests them. Spensippus, the orphew and successorof Nlato in the academy, had pictures ofjoy and glad ness huue all around the schooiroom. Ycu must not give your children the im. ression that when they come to you they are pla; ful ripples striking againsti a reek. Ycu must have them under stand tbat Ncu were a boy once yoursell that I ou know a boy's bilarities, a boI's temptauons, a boy's ambition-yea, that 3 ou are a boy yet. You may deceive them and try to give them the idea tt at you are some distamt supernatural efful gf nce, and you may shove them off by Nour rigorous behavior, but the time will come when they will find out the decep tion and they will have or you utter con tempt. Aristotle said that a boy should begin to study at 17 years of age. Before that his time should be given to recreation. I cannot adopt that theory. But this sug eests a truth in the right direction. Uildhood is too brief, and we have not ecough sympathy with its sportfulness. We want divine grace to help us in the adjustment of all these matters. Besides that, bow are your children ever to bocome Christians if you your e f are not a Christian? I have noticed that, however worldly and sinful parents may be, they want their children good. When young people have presented themselves for admission into our mem bership. I bave said to them, "Are . cur atte' and mother willing that you shall :omt?" and they .have said, "Oh yes; ,hey are delighted to have us come. hey have not been in church for 10 or 15 years, but the7 will be here next Sab ath to see me baptized." I have no Oced that.paren,,s, however worldy. want beir children good. S, it was demonstrated in a police curt in Canada, where a motner. her little child In her arms, sat by a table on which her own handcuffs lav, and the lit Lle babe took up the handcuffs and plav - :d with them and had great glee. S', knew not the sorrow of the hour. And ,ten when the mother was sent to prison the motber cried out: -Oh, God, let not this babe go into tl0e j -il! Is there not ome mother bete who w11 take this hile? It is good eoongh for heavan. It t pure. I am bad. I am wicked. [a bere not some who will take this child? cannot have it tainted with the prison" rhen a brazen creature rushed up vnd aiV, "Yes. I'll take the child." "N. a," said the mother, "not lou, oot you .a there not some good mother here who .il sake this child?" And then. when he (fflcer of the law in mercy and pity ~ook toe child to carry it away to find a one for it, the mather, kisse d it lov ugly goodby and said, "Goodby, my laling. It in oetter you should never ee me again." However worldy and sinful people are ~beywant their children good. Eow are Eou going to have them goody Bay them t ew good books? Teach them a few ex ~.llent catechisms9 Bring thema to hurch? That is all very well, but if lit le fiaal reisult unless you do it with the race of G'od in ycur hearr. D'o ycu not eal:ze that your children are started fo~r ternitx? Are- they on the right oad? Those little forms that are now riht and beaui.ful-when they have catere -- the dust, there will be an -nmortalspirit living on in a mighty eater of action, and your faithiulness r your neglect now is deciding that des iny. Tbere is contention already among inistering spirits of salvation and fal em angels as to who shall have the ,aas ery cf that immortal spirit. Your chil ren are soon going out in the world. he temptations of life will rush upon bem. The most rigid resolution wilt enud in the blast of evil. Wtiat will be e resulh? It will require all the re traints of the gospel, all the strenzth f a father's prayer all the influence of a bristian motner's example to keep em. You say it is too early to bring them. oo eariy to bring them to God? Do you ~now how early children were taken to e ancient paseovei? The rule was just ? soon as they could take hold ot the ter's hand and walk up M~ount Mori Lh they should be taken to the parsover. kcur children are not too young to come > G~od. While you sit here and think 1 them perhaps their forms now so right and beautiful vanish from von and eir disembodied spirit rises, and you ee it after the life of virtue or crime is ast, and the judgment Is gone, and ternity is here. A Christian minister said that in the rst year of his pastorate he tried to per uade a young mechanic of the Import nee of family worship. Some time )essed, and the mechanic came to the )astOr's study and said: "Do you re ember that girl? That was my own bild. She died this morning very sud enl.. She has gone to God, I ,.ave no oubt, but if so she has told him what I dl1you now-tuat child has never heard ,prayer in her father's house, never iard a prayer from her father's lips. )h, itIi only had her back again one day o do my duty." It will be a tremen ~cs thing at the last day if some shall ay of us: "I never heard my father ray. 1 never heard my mother pray." Again, I remark, we want religion in 1 our home sorrows. Tnere are 10,000 uetions that caime up in the best regn ted household that must be settled. erhps the lather has one favori'e in be family, and the mother another fav rite in the family, and there a' e many pxestions that need delicate treatment. Tyrany and arbitrary decision have o place in a house'iold. If the parents ve God, there will be a spirit, of self sciice, and a spirit of 'orgivenese, and , kindness which will throw its charm ~ver the entire household. Christ will r me into that household and will sa3: Husbands love you: wives and be not >itter agamnst them. Wives, see that ~ou reverence your cusbands. ChIldren bey cur parents in the Lord. Servants e vbed:ent to your masters," and the amily will be like a garden on a summer n- rning-th'e strass plot and the flowers sd tne vines, and the arch of honey ackle stanong in the sunlight glitter g with dew. But there will be sorrows that will ome to the household. There are but ew lamihies that escape the stroke of fi iancial mislettune. Financial misfor uewmes to a house where there is no entzion. They kick against divine al ioe inaents. they curse God for the mncom ng~ calasity, they withdraw from the world bec:-use they cannot hold as high position in society as they once did, ad they fret, and they scowl, and they sorrow and they die. During the past fw years there ha been tens af thons. ands of men destroted by their financial distresses. But misfortune comes to the Chris tain household. If religion has fit' sway in that home, they itoon grace. fully. They s', "This is right." Tie father says, 'Perhaps money avas get tiog to be my idol. Perha::s God is going to make me a better Christian by tuttiuig me through the furnace of trib'oatiori Besides that, why should I fret auyho;? lie who owneth the cat tle on a thousands hills and out of whose hand all the fow;s of heaven peck cheir fond is my Father. Hoe clothe me the liles of the fiId: be %ill cioth me. If he takes care of -ne raven and the hawk, and the vulture, mnesi, certainly he will take care of me, his child " Sorer troubles come-sikness ard death. Loved ones sleep the last sleep. A child is buried out of sight. You say: "Alas, for this oitter day! God has dealt very i severelv with me; I can never look up. o God, I cannot bear it!" Christ comes in,and he says: "Hush, O troublesoul; it is well with the child! I will streng then tee in all thy troubles. My grace is sufl;ient, When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee." When through the deep waters I call thee to Lo. 1he rivers of sorrow shall not everflow For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. But there are hundreds of families represented here this morning where religion has been a great comfort. There are in your homes the pictures *of your departed and things that have no wonderful value of themselves, but you keep them preciously and carefully because hands uow still once touched them. A father h as gone out of this household. a mother has gone out of this, a daughter just after her gradua tioa, a son just as he was entering on the duties of life. And to other homes trouble will come. I say it is not that you may oe foreboding, not that you may do the unwise thing of taking trouble by the forelock, but that you may be ready. We must go one by one. There will be partings in all our households. We must say farewell. We must die. And yet there are triumph ant strains that down these tremulous accents; there are anthems that whelm the dirge. ileaven is full of the shout of Gelivered captives, and to the great wide field of human sorrow there come now the reaper angels with keen sickles to harvest the sheaves of heav en. Saints will to end the endure; Saftey will the shepard keep Those he purchased for his sheep. Go home Lts day and ask the bless ing on your noonday meal. Tonight set up the family altar. Do not wait until you became a Christian yourself. This day unre Christ to your house hold, for the Bible distinctly says that God xill pour out his fury upon the families that call not upon his name. Open the Bible and read a c'-apter; tna. will make you strong. Kneel doxn and offer the first prayer in your household It may be a broken petition, it may b" only "God be mr ciful to me, a sinuer," but God will stoop, and spirits will lis ten, and angles will chaut, "Bthold, he prays!" Do not retire frem this house this morning until vou nave resolv-d u'oo' this matter. You will be gone. I will ne gone, many years will pass. and per -haps your youngrr children may forget almost everything about you, but 40 years from no w, in some Sabbath t.wi lighat, your daughter will be sitti'g w ith the family Bible on her lap read lng to her ch:ldrea, when she will stop, and peculiar solemnity wii come to ner face, and a tear w1l start, and the children wlli say, "Mother, what makes you cry ?" and she will say, "Notfling only I wes thinking that this is the very Bi-ile out of which my father and mother usea to read at morning and evening prayer." All other things about you they may forget, but train them up for God and heaven. They will not forget that. When a queen died, her three sons brought an offering to the grave. One son brought gold, another brought siver, but the third son came and stood over the grave and opened one of his viens and let the blood drop upon his mother's tomb, and all who sa w it said it was the greatest demonstration of affection. My friends, what is the grandest gift we can bring to the sep ulchers of a Christian ancestry ? It is a life all consecrated to the God who made us and the Christ who redeemed us. I cannot but believe that there are hundreds of parents in this house who have resolved to do their whole duty, and that at this moment they are pas sing into a better life, and naving seen the grace of the gospel in this place to day you are now fully ready to return to your own house and show what great things God has done unto you. Though parents may in covenant be And have their heaven in view, They are not happy till th. y see Their children happy too. May the Lord Godi of A braham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers be our God and the Giod of our children forever!l ________ CUT HIS EARS OFF. A Negro Man Severely Punished for In sanlog a Lady. AUGUSTA, Ga., April 15.-News reached Augusta yesterday fcom Louis ville, a station on the Augusta and Knoxville road, about 75 miles from Angusta over in Carolina. of the severe punishment inflicted upon an ignorant negro for his foolhardiness, Iti is said the shallow bramned negro who lived mn that town wrote a note to a young lady, the daughter of a prominent citizen of Louisville, in which he made improper overtures. The negro, who had more "nerve" than judgment, incautiously 'presented the note himselt to the lady on the street. Hie admonished ber not to breathe a word about the contents ot the missive for, if she did, he was apprehen sve that he would be lynched by infuri ated cttlzens. The lady took the note and turned it over to her father. The parent was naturally highly incensed at the bold ness and audacity of the ne'gro which amounted to more than impertinence. The affair was talked about and it is re ported,-a large posse of citizens was foimed and s;arted a search for theI madly rash and adventurous negro who vas soon fou-d. He was taken in charge by the mob and it is said he was was severely lashed and thle waippino continued until the negro was so weak that he could not stand. The E .hiopiau was SO erueily beater that welts were rased all over his body. Ater the fi tgging the most u-jhuman part of the puniwent is said to h-ave been it.f-cted. Some of the met' went up to the nes-> and crabbed hold of his arms and legs to p:event rsstanee wrile others of the party used '.heir knives and cut his ears (11 as close to his head as the keen blade could be run tbraugh the skin. Aftt-r maiming the negro it is reporte d the crowd escorted him to the banks of the Swvansahi river which was only tree miles away and they made hit cross ths stream and come to the Ge-or gia shore and before leu::naz him to the" notified him that it he returned to tht neicihoorbood th?ey wo~u liaish up by kiling him.

Immediat-ly after the chaplain had concluded the Lo:d's Prayer, Mr Catchines go. h- 11 or .ad s:a'ed that by dir.c on d comf m.iete on r;l-s, he would withdraA th- renort of the connaistee m e last r.e R, propcsi g to 11 mt mo rs for unue) 2nse atsu ces ars faiiurFs r) vote. That fving been d';ne, he offe-rd the reso!ution agreed upon by the cornittee vs a sub,titute for the DeArmond resolu tion, referred to th- coammiutte by 1 Deu.oeratic c lnucs lt Friiv. Al lownq is the r. siution: Awend Rule 15,by inserting between Claiuses 1 a-d 2 Ene following as Claus es 2 and change the number (;f Clauses 2 and change the rumber o: before tne beg ouing thereof. the Sp: aker sh:-1 name two memiers.orie frum each side or the pending questi-n, If practicale, who shall tike mueir places ut ihe clerk's desk to tell the. names of at least enough members who are in the hall of the House during the oil call who do not respond, wren added to those responding, to M-ka a qiorum. If a quoruom does not r!-spond on the roll Call. then the names of those so noted cr Dresnt shall he reported to the Sp&aker, who shall o-iuse the list to be called from the clerk's derk and record ed on the journal; ad: in deterruining the presence of a quorum to do busi ness, those who vo ed, those answered present and those so reported present, shall be considered. Members noted may, when their names are called, re cord their votes notwithstarnding the provisions of Clause 1 of the Rule. Amend Clause 1 of Rule 8 by adding thereto the follo wiu words: And on a roll call, should ho not vote, he shall ans wer 'present" so as to read: '-Every member shall be present wititn the hall of the house during its sittings, unless excused or nectssarily prev-I ed, and shall vote on each question pot, unless lie has a direc. personal or pecu niary interest in the event of such question, and on a :oll call should he not vote, he shall answer "present." Wr-n it had baen read Catchings asked unanimous consent that the pre vious qeustion on the passage of the res-lution be considered ordered, and tbat debate be closed in an hour and a half, the time to U- controlied by the Sp-aker of the Hous-. At once there was opposition manifes d on The Dem ocratic sihe, and so muun confusiv existed that the ,receedizgs eoulo not be disti:'guished at the Speker's d-sk. Burro %s sked to he allowed To, ffer as a substitute for the rule reported, the rule inforc-d in the Farty-iirst Con gress, as reptesenting tne vie s of the minority. This was agreed to aud the iule was read as fullews: "On the demand of any member or at the suggrs ion of the Speaker, the names cf members snfli cient to make a quorurn In the hall of the House who du. not vote, shall he noted by the clerk and recorded in the j )urnal and reported to the SpeAker sirb rne names of the members voting, and be counted and aaooujced in de termtiiing the pres-nc- of a quorum to do ousiniess." (Clause 3, R l 15, Fifty lits' Congress.) Catchiz'gs' request for unanimous consenut was theu sumittd, and W ells (D-m ) of Wisc.>aain otijected. Catchings then moved that the pre vious question be ordered on the pas sage of the resoluion. 0O1 division, the vot e was ayes, 128; nays, 98. The Renl~.icaus g-tnerally voted against ordering the previo.-s question. Tne yeas an-i nays were dem inded and ordered, resulting yeas, 140; navs, 120; so the previous question was ordered. Burrows said that the rule reported by the committee and the substitute offered by him both contained the prin ciple of counting a quoruro, differing only as to detail. .Not desiring to em barrass or delay the option of the prin ciple by the House, a esiring rather that the Democratic meririty should have an unohstructe-d opportunity to endorse the Fifty irst Cougress, he would withdraw the substitute. The debate was opened by Catchings in explanation of the rule, saying it was the result of the action of the cau cus of last Friday. Springer said the proposed rule con templated no change of the Co'istitu tion; it was only a proposition whereby the Hiouse could do the business for which the memtbers bad been sent here. (Republican applause.) The Hotse had sat here for a mouth past and done scarcely two da's work. Hle was tired of ir.,he said, and hoped the House was. Hie should hail the adoption of the rule as the dawn of a better era in pro moting legislation. (['he delivery of Springer's remarks was accompanied by almost continuous applause from the Republican benches.) Kilgore was greeted with a round of applause as he began to speak, which caused Speaker Crisp to warn the galle ries that they were present by courtesy of the HoIcuse, and that the rules re quired them to refrain from any dem onstration whatever. "In this case," said the Speaker, "the chair noticed that the applause started in the galle ries:' Kilgore said he rose chiefly to ex press his unalterable opposition to the adoption of the rule, of which the gen teman from Maine (deied) was the pa rent. The rule was unnecessary in his opinion. Rules were not adopted by parliamentary bodies to expediie but to hinder the trasaction of business; to bridle the majoritv and to compel It to take all the responsibility of leg islat ion. Russell of Georgia lamuented the hu miliating spectacle presented to the country by the Democratic majority of the House, with seventy or eighty more votes than the R-pubiicans and, thirty-nine more than a majority, fin$f ing themselvus unable to do business without calling to their aid the excep tional and revolutionary methods o: the Fity t-irst C:!'ress.

REED ROBBEJ OF GLORY. Wi e Proves that he liha Sailed under Fise C alors. WASmNOTON, April 18.-The read ing ot res-erday's proceedings of the [ouse was listened to with close at tent ion by the leaders of the House Wnen the clerk reached the point dis cribing the first roll call under the new rule, the names of those reported pre sent, not voting, were not given. Reed inquir-i who they were. Crisp replied that the names had not been luserted by the clerk, but they should have been. There was an error in thea record which he had been in tormEd was made at the printing of Reed said he wanted to know who were responsible, the clerks or tellers, so that he might xnov whom to blame. The! Speaker said the tellers had not made ary report. The reading of the journal having been concluded, Kilgore asked a correc tion of the Ricord, which reported him as voting on the first roll call under the new rule yesterday. He did not vote. in which statement he was supported by the Speaker, who said the correction should be made. Burrows called attention to the speech of Wheeler (Dem.) of Alabama contain'd iin the Record today. The gentlem-n ha-1 been granted one min Sute byCatcnings yesterday, Burrows said, in which to express his views on tne quorum counting rule. In that minute, according to the Record, he had been able to say enough to fill four colums of the Record. He knew that the ientleman was a rapid talker, but he did not believe he could talk that fast. Rtichardson (Dem.) of Tennessee said Wheeler was not present and suggested that the matter go over until he was in his seat. - Reed-It is his duty to be here, and if we had a proper system of fines for absence, douttless he would be. Burrows said that having called at tenion tQ the matter he was willing to postpone further consideration until Whre-ler was present. If he had deliv ered that speech in the minute he was on the iloor of course, there was no criti cism to make; if he had not he (Bur rows) insisted he had violated a rule of House and some action should be I aken to expung the speech from the Record. The matter was thereupon posponed. The House went into com mittee of the whole, Ba'ley of Texas in the chair, for the consideration of the -ioimatic and consular appropriation The debate was entirley political> with only incid-ntal reterence to the hill before the House. In its course, Mr. Wise (Dem.) of Virginia read from the Record to show the position taken by ex-Speaker Reed when the amend ment off ered by J. Randolph Tucker of Virginia to the rules, providing for the counting of a qiorum, was under dis vussion in the Forty-eighth Congress. He showed that R-ed opposed the amendment and added witn much spirit that "this adulation of Thomas B. -ed by the Republican party was a nwirable pretense." Wise went on to say that Reed was not the originator of this proposition to count a quovum until it was llrst pro post d by a Democrat from Virginia. Grosvenor (Re-p.) of Onlo, who had several times attempted without sue cess to interrupt Mr. Wise-May I ask tne gentleman a question ? Wise, emphatically and amid general laughter-I cannt refuse you the cp portunity to talk. Grosvenor-Was that a Democratic Congress? Wise replied that it was; and added that it was his purpose to strip Thos B. Reed of the false colors under which he had sailed. He added that Springer of Illinois had voted and spoken for the rule. "That vote," said Reed, sotto voce, 'accounts for its defeat." "Garfield." continued Wise, "voted against it and denounced it as uncon stitutional; so that this pretense that the country is indebted to the Republi can party for this rule,.is a base lie. On that occasion, Reed denounced the pro posed rule as a violation of the Consti tution and the Republican leaders joined him in tbe denunciation." Wise stated that he refused to vote esterday for the rule because he had tad no opportunity to examine It, and icause there was no chance to debate it. But he believed that if the power resided in the House to bring a man from California to his seat, the House had a right to count his presence for the transaction of business. coxey'd Army. Fate was unkind indeed to Citizen J. S. Coxey of Massillion, 0., in the send off she gave his army when he raised the cry or "On to Washington!" and startea with his host to take the capital. She gave him two snowstorms to begin and co'd weather enough to chill the marro w and freeze out the courage cof all but a leader as brave as Coxey Various pohitical schemes have been charged upon Coxey by the so called plutocratic press. Wicked goldbugs and others have not hestitated to say that a demand for silver coinage was the concealed African in the wood pIle of this army of the unemployed. But Cit izen Coxey says no. He vows by all that is goAd and great that he only means a move in the interest of the Good Roads association and of the un employed millions of the United States We will eo to Washington in a peace, ful, dignified manner, say s this leader. We petition congress to issue S25.000, 000, more or less, of national scrip and set the unemployed to work at making good roads throughout all the Union. I'hat,in brief, is the plan. The origina tor of the scneme thinks he seen in it a way to get decent highways throughout the length and breadth of our land and give food to the hungry. As to the need of the great public high ways ad vocated in this queer manner, there is no question. Property in America woulu be worth many millions more if we had as good roads as France has for instance. It may be mentione-i, by the way, that the roads of France were "Uut in exactly this way for the pur pose of feeding the hungry and silene i .e hir murmurs of discontent. An Anercan, Mr. Joseph R. Bucehanan wns has given considerable the ught to te subject in earnest, declares that part of Coxey's scheme is not so very wid. Suppose, he says, congress should issue legal tender notes for the purpose or road making. The individual states would be more interested than the na tional go'ver nment in the roads. If they sho-ld agree to pay every year, of the amuirt expended in the bounds of each state, say, i per cent each, the roads could bae consructed, and the national government wouid not feel the ex p use. The added value of the proper ty along the improved highway would eive- the individual states so mucn mr cresed annual revenue that they would not ledlthe expense either. Drowned. PENSA COL A, FHa., April 16.-George W. Southigate, superintendent of the IensacOlL water works, was drowned while returning from a fish dinner across the bay yesterday. He left the city in company with five other gentle men in a sma~ll sail boat and reached their destination safely, but when about six miles from the mainland on their return, the boat was capsized anid all three went into water. The party managed to hold on to the boat until daybreak this morning, when Mr. suthrate became exhausted and died. The balance of. the party was rescued by a pasing barge HE CMI1ING CAMPAiGN.. THE DATES OF MEETINGS TO SE SET IN A SHORT TIME. The State Democratic Executive Commit tee Will Arrange the Programme-Only Refo'm Cand!ate Will A.iper on the s-ump. COLMBIA, S. C., April 16.-Politi clans are now looking forward to the begonning of the State campa'n. and are dis.ussing the showig v.hi will be made on the stump by each of the can didates. The dates f*r campaign meel ces will have to be fixcd by the State Demo cratic Executive Committee, of which Senator Irby is chairman. Itissad that a call for a meeting of this committee will be issued before a great while. T.e meeting wtld likl.y be held some time nex. month. Nobody -h ahat are the ideas of the members of the c -mmit tee about the time -or the 1 iam of the campaign, but it will hardly start be fore the last of May or the ficst of Jace. It has heretofore taken about two months to cover the State. allowing about four meetings a week. Beginninz the first of June, and taking it for granted that two months will be necessary to get around, this would end the campaign about the first cf August and allow breathing time before the primary elec tions in that month. The campaign meetings are always arranged for the benefitof the candidates for Governor and State offiers. WV-hat the programme".vill be for joint debates between Governor Tillman and Senator Butler is not known. It is presumed, howeyer. that the Senatorial candidates will have to do ,heir spaaking at the same meetings as the other candidates, although each will have the privilege of adcressing as many extra meetings as he desires. So far it looks like all the speakers, except Senatot Butier, will be Reformers. The Refarmers have mananed thinns so satisfactorily that their opponents are not apt to be given an opportunity to take advantage of dissensions. There will be no fighung and no divisions. This being the fact the Conservatives will not think of putting up candidates for State cfficers.

A RIOT IN DEl ROIT. Clah Petw; en Strikina Poles and a Sher 't's Posse. DETROIT, Mich., April 18.-Trouble has been brewing between the water board and the Polish laborers engaged to Jay the pipe extension east of the wa ter-works near Connor's creek, four miles from the city, over the question of wages for some days. These men were quarrelsome yesterday and refused to go to work themselues or allow any one else to do so, but no serious out break occurred. At 5 o'clock this morning an angry looking mob began to gather-at the scene and when 7 o'clock arrived, more than live hundred men carrying pick axes and spadps were patrolling the road. Four policemen were sworn in as deputy sheriffs and a force of eigh teen men were put to work. The stri kers threatenea to kill t e first man who dared attempt to do acy work, and when one of the men, more daring than his fellow workmen, jumped into the ditch, he was savagely assaulted. The handful of deputies were overpow ered and Lhe strikers were left in pos session for the time being. At 10 o'clcek the mob further armed itself with clubs and cudgels. Sheriff Collins was tclephoned for and burried to the scene, taking with him half a dozea deputies. After a conference with the water board about work for the day and then the clash came. Wnen Engineer Williams at tempted to withdraw his men peace fully, the strikers became furious and made an onslaught on one of the men. Sheriff Colliss ordered the mob to dis perse, threatening t shoot it the order was not obeyed. The mob appeared maddened, however, and continued the attack. Then the sheriff ordered his posse to fire. He suited the action to the words, and fired three shots from his revolver in rt.pid succession. This was a signal for -a volley from the dep uties, who emptied their revolvers at the advancing mob. Two strikers were shot dead, and at least fifteen others are more or less dangerously wounded. This had a demoralizing effect on te mob and it fell back. Policeheadquar ters were notified and a large force of policemen were hurried to the scene, and all the ambulances in the city. The troule commenced when Engi neer Williams gave the order for the removal of the suction pumps and tools from d small excavation that had been made at the end of the pipe line in preparation for the work. As he spoke in English, however, the mob did not comprehend what he said. Sheriff Col lins stood near the excavation with a deputy. The deputy spoke German and I told the mob that the water board had given in and it only wanted to remove its tools. Foremau Catney then j'imped into the excsvatioo and began takizg up the pump. One of the strik ers veiled: "Ari we going to stand this? Let us all strike together." At this speech there was a forward rush of the strikers, who held their snovels and picks aloft. Cathy was struck a blow on the head, which knocked him to the bottom of the exca-t vation. Sheriff Collins waved his armst wildly-and fairly shrieked to the mob to stand back, but his efforts were wasted. No attention oeimg paid to what he said. Instead of retreating, he drew his revolver and aimed it point blank at the crowd. He lired three2 shots as rapidly as he could pull thet trigger. Then a long-handled shovel upraised behind him, descended swiftly and a corner of it pierc'l his skull. lie was struck agaen and again and was probably fatally injured. Foreman Cathy is also fatally injured. One 1 member of the water works police was seriously cut. The two strikers killed and all the wounded are Poles. The trouble really began yesterayd, when Engineer Williams of the water works sought to introduce a system of paying the men by the cutic yard oft excvation instead of a daily wage rate. The Polish laborers rebelled at this and as a result the water board de ided to suspend operations. t This afternoon and evening deputy sheriffs scoured the Polish quarter for the rioters and by night fifty of the law brea~ers had been gathered in. The 1 corridors of the jail cell block weret illed with them. About 6 o'clock a 1 group of.Polanders gathered about thet jail and made ugly demonstrations. One of them wvas shot in the leg by a deputy sheriff and carted off to a hospi-c tal. The crowd about the jail, mostly spectators, continued until midnight. The Polish quarter is all excitement too ight. A meeting was arranged in I a Polish hall for tonight from whicn it i was declared the Polanders would march to the jail and wreck it, but thet police were watchful and the meeting id not materialize. Homci Fuiks in Washington. WASHINGTON, April 1.-Judge Izlar 1 is rapidly becoming familiar with his Congressional duties, and to-day he made the round of the executive depart-c ment in the interest of his constituents. Ie has beed overrun with requests fort lower and garden seed, and he says hoc was not aware until he visited the agri ::ltural department that the quota be onging to the 1st~ district had been ex-t asted for the present session by his predecessor, Judge Brawley. It did nott take Judge Izlar long to learn that someg f the Congressmen who live in city istricts sometimes make exchanges of seed for books and Congressional pub ications, so Judge Izlar is now negotiat ig a deal by which he hopes to fulfil some of the requests for garden seed. ' There is considerable comment a mong the members of South Carolinat elegation over the revival of thea Eampton proposition to organize Anti- I rillnan clubs throughout the State. [lpresentative Latimer says he doese ot think it will assist In quieting the d otending factions to start such a a ovement at this time. On the con- 1 rry, he sa s it is calculated to increasev the bitterness on both sides andf olidify the "th.form" element. ~le I s fearfual that the recent outbreak at e Darlington and Fiorence is but a fore- a unner of fu her diliculty. He re- t gres that the feeling between the town o .)ikS and the co'uatry people Is so in- 9 ese, .and he also regrets that 'iniitary '2 .mpales are being formed in many ountry uistrices. HeI predict's that the o oming campaign will be one of the. ost exciting in the history of the StaTe and he is very much afraid it will end Mobloodshed. He would like to see ( 1 the differences of opinion now ex- I ting ber ween the Conservative and 1 R-ormi" factions, growing out of the I iispensary la w, submitted to a veto of h people, and whichever side is out vot-d peacefully abide the result. I ude Izlar Is naturally cautious in dis- C ussng the situation at home, for he ezes that the feeling is runningb high between the contending factions. ' nd any thing said at this time Is apt o he misconstrued or misunderstood. a Ie des not see the propriety at this me of startirog the Hampton clubs. le :s very fond of Gen Hampton and mder ordinary circumstances would h eerfully aid him in any move- c nent t hat is calculated to relieves the s ate from the present unhappy con- C dition of allairs. Judge Izlar, nowever o s thoroughly familiar with the exist ng conditions, and l'e is disposed to ac- d ept the views of The News and Cpou- I er to the effect that the proposed I ovement is untimely and perhaps ill- b dvised under ;the present circum- I stances.9 The Iacom3 Tax. The first noticeable effect of Senator Hill's speech is the aroused' determina tion of the friends of the income tax that, come what may, that feature of the Wilson bill shall not be eliminated. They intend to stand by it througb thick and thin, and nothing seems to be now more definitelv assured than that they will win their tight. In the end, there fore, Senator Hill will be forced to ac cept that tax, or by opposing it defeat the bill, and thereby make himself and his friends responsible for what he con ftsses would disrupt the Democratic party. The real contest over this tax, if the Wilson bill should pass the Sen ate without it will be in the House and in Zonference. Senator Hill knew that in attacking the tax in the Senate he would be addressing several Sena tors on his own side of the chamber who sympathize with his views, and who, with an opportunity, would vote with him to strike the tax out of the bill. Senators Gorman, (ibson. Murphy. Gray, Vilas, McPherson, Smith and Caf ferty all agree with Senator Hill on that point, though not one of them has intimated that he will oppose the pas sage of the-bill if beaten on the issue. But all of them. Senator Hill included, have hope that if the Senate rejects the income tax and the bill shows provis ion for ievenue enough without it, it will not be niflicult to break down op position in the house and railroad the shorn bill through conference. The - friends of the income tax in the house declare with emphasis that this is a most mistaken calculation. The in come tax, they assert, is in the bill to stay, and that its rejsction by the men of wealth and the corporation agents in the Senate will, if it occurs, but make sentiment in the House on the subject the more enthusiastic and uncompro mising. The men over there who fought the battle when the bill was before the ways and means committee and after wards in the open house, have since heardfrom their constituents, and all are cohvinced that their action in that matter stands warmly approved at home, and really is dhe one that will enter the most stfongly in their favor into their campaigns for re-election. The people in the west and south are practically unanimous in favor of an income tax, and there are assarances here that the proposition has far more strength in the east than Senator Hill has heard about or is willing to admit. A. notable convert since tne speech is the Chicago Herald, the leading Dezn. ocratic newspaper in ilinois. Until ince the speech it opposed the income tax, but, seeing that Senator Hill in the enate is to make that feature an ex :ase for an effort to defeat the bill, it aas come out in favor of the -tax- as a part of the bill. An Important Isane. At the last session of the Legislature . [t will be remeabered a porcion of Berkeley county was given Charlestoa - ind provision wade f .c changinz the ounty seat. Tne scheme is by no means. satisfactory to all of the tax payeis of the county and a fight is to e made. Charles S. Venaing and Mur Dhy & Farrow have cnarge of the case, nd we learn from the Columbia State ;hat a petition was presented to the Sa preme Court in that city on Saturday )y Mr. Farrow reviewing the entire wt. Tne imsne is to be made on consti ;utLional lines and the follo wiag ex racts from the petition indicate the hiet argument against the senme. Au act is null and void. in that it vio ates the COjstitution of the State of soath Carolina in the follo wing partic iLars, that is to say: Artiele two sec ion three, which provides, inter alia, ;at "the jadicial districts shall hereaf :er be designated as counties, and tne oundaries of the several counties,. hall remain as they- are now estab Ished,."

Savannah and iacon agreed to play the game sched dd for Monday, today, leaving Mon lay a rest ofday. Announcements of the ~ame were made in the newspapers d scattered through the city. This nornng the mayor notified the chief of >olice not to permit the game. The nJagenment of the club was also noti rd. The grounds are just beyond 'she :ty limits, but under the city ordi ance giving the mayor jurisdiction wo milas beyond the limits, the game ould not be played. A detail of police ias stationed-at the park gates to en orce the mayor's order. Over two hosand people went out expecting to ee the game. The action of the au horities today will probably settle the [estion of Sanday baseball in Savan ah. The management of the club will Lot fight the matter. Watersponts. SAN~ ANTONIA, Texas, April 14. E'hree waterspouts, which did consider ble damage to property, occurred in his section last night. The most dam ging one occurred in Ken County, at Censville, where several houses were vashed away and a large number of attle on the adjoining ranches were rowned in the Guadalupe River, vhicn rose twelve feet in a few min tes.
