Can you FELLOW Citizens any longer doubt
that Despotism is gaining rank luxuriaDce
in the soil Of this noble Republic. The voice
oil northern freemen is no longer heard in the
Halls of congress. Party reigns triumphant.
The people are nothing, the spoils every

operate as protection must be instantly aban-

which you prospered has been repealed, and
an avowedly non protective tariGhas been
substituted in its stead. This tariff is profes

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
THURSDAY. January s 1916.


In the House motion prevailed foi term-
mating the Oregon debate an Monday next at
5 O'Clock The vote was 100 10 81 SO we are
TO have an end Of il at last, thouga it was q
long time first. MIR. Preston King and Mr.
G. J. lngersoll have each heretofore endeavored
10 fix period for its termination.
On motion of Mr.. Mckay, who stated that
many members YET wished TO speak on the
subject, il was ordered, by large majority,
that during its continuance the House shall
meet at 10 O'Clock, A. M.
The House then went into committee and
resumed the consideration oil the JOINT resolu-
tions on the Oregon notice to Great Britain.
Mr.. Gentry wished to know why the Presl-
dent had not answered the resolution oil lnqul-
ry as TO the present state OF the negotiations
since the message. He called on the Chair
man Of the Committee on Foreign Relations
to answer
Mr.. Ingersoll said he understood there had
been some correspondence on the subject be-
tween the British Minister and our. Executive
that would shortly be laid before Congress.
Mr.. Gentry then advocated postponement
Of the whole subject unit! the lsl OF May, or
end of the session. Mr.. @. then went into
the merits of the question, and was opposed
10 the notice. In his opinion, neither the
United States nor Great Britain had any rights
in Oregon, except that Of continued occupa-
ton. The Emperor Of China Gf he could
find an unoccupied spot there) would have as
good title to il as either OF the more chris
tianized contestors.
The debate was further continued by Messrs
Dargan and Delano.
II is fertile and safe subject to declaim
upon-Topographical, Agricultural, Maritime,
and Geological statements can be made with
out fear Of refutation from either visitors or resi-
dents Of that delightfully."- remote region; for per
sons from there, are not only thoroughly inn
bued with the " travellers license," but seem
to relish the trespasses Of others, on their pre-
rogative Of indulging in extrayagant praise.
After MIR. Delano concluded, Mr. Rhett, Of
S. c., obtained the floor for tomorrow.
On motion that the committee should rise,
the question being taken by tellers, twas found
that no quorum was present.; but before call
of the House was made, quorum appeared,
when the commiltee rose The yeas and nays
were called on a motion to adjourn, when the
vote stood yeas 40, nays 65, which was with
out quorum again, when the yeas and nays
were called again ON motion 70 adjourn.
I Much confusion arose. A motion was made
that the House meet at half past seven, P. M,
but not carried
The House at last adjourned, by yeas SO,
nays So.

Mr.. EDITOR: As the period of our mu-
nicipal election approaches, candidates for
the Mayoralty begin to be spoken of with
out number. The most prominent are
Robert Brockett, Charles L. Stuart, and
Robert Sanneson, esqrs 1t is most pro-
bable that the issue involved will be tenn
perance, and that party politics will be es-
chewed entirely, rulers being selected with
an eye to competency, and determination
TO execute the laws against selling rum
without licences, that priOiIege Of poisoning
being granted by higher authority.
The twentieth annual meeting of the
Hydrauion Fire Company (which, during
the past year, has been Of great efficiency }
was held last evening, and the following
officers Tor the ensuing year elected
Benjamin Barton, President; Lewis Nc
Kenzie, Vice President; Richard L. Carne,
Jr., Secretary; Thomas Davy, Treasurer,
Thomas N. Davy, Abel d. Warfeld, Isaac
Entwisle, George w. Roche, Randolph
Massey, Henry Morgan, George L. Whit
tngton and Francis Stabler, Directors. The
company numbers about 100 active MEM
bers, and has good engine, hose, house,
SC. which are to be kept in repair at the
expense Of the Corporation, so that nothing
but little spirit and energy on the part of
our young men, will be required to retain
its position, as one of the most efficient
companies in the District.

received from the original inventors and sole manu-
facturess, large supply of the genuine
Doric Lamp.
This Lamp is simple in its construction, easily
trimmed, and will give light equal TO twenty
sperm candles, at cost of one cent an hour.
It's superiority to other lamps consists in the fol-
lowing advantages: there is brass other metal
that corrodes which comes in contact with the fluid
the external and internal draughts pass through
the body Of the lamp, producing more perfect
combustion, and keeps the lamp perfectly cool. 1t
can be used with open doors and will be less affect
ed by wind currents of air, than any other lamp

In trimming the Doric Lamp the chimney is first

cone may be used for stand to set the lamp on
while trimming-after which the wick-holder is
taken out and the wick raised above the tube sulf-
cent to cut off the black or crusted edge, which
should be done with a sharp pair OF sclssors--the
wick-hoder is then returned to It's place, and the

and it is ready for use.

FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 6, 1886.
A SOLEMN WARNING TO A YOUNG MAN,
OF HIS UNTIMELY END.

John Graham, ofVirginia, was one of my
youthful schoomates, and when boy, was
remarkable on account of his quiet and
agreeable temper and habits. His father
having died while he was young, threw
the burden of managing the family affairs
in good degree upon him His mother
was religiousy disposed, and took conside-
rable interest in the welfare of her children,
and especially Of John, on whom SO much
depended. Nor could any one Of his
years and experience have conducted more
discretely fora while than did young Graham.
But alas while all was apparently in the
high road to happiness, Distilery was
erected Immediately in the neghborhood,
which too soon became place Of common
resort both of the old and the young. And
Young John was amongst the unfortunate
dupes of this wretched establishment. In
vain did his a1ectionate mother remonstrate
against his unhappy course; each succeed
ing week found him sinking still deeper
and deeper into the mire Of intemperance.
His career, however, was short one, and
as awful as it was short. When about 81
or % years Of age, he dreamed one night
that he had gone to the long-frequented
Distillery, where he became intoxicated,
and on his return home had fallen into the
water at certain fording place and was
drowned. The next morning he related
this remarkable dream to his mother and
one Of his sisters. They told him that the
dream was warning for him not to visit
that place any more, and endeavored, all
in their power, to dissuade him from it.
But he treated both the dream and their
expostuations with utter contempt. The
idea Of his being drowned in small stream
not ten steps wide nor one foot deep, was
ridiculous in his estimation. He therefore
determined to visit the still-house that same
afternoon, and he would see, as he said
whether his dream would come to pass
So, go he would, and go he did, and ac-
cording to custom, became intoxicated, and
did not leave the place until late in the
evening. During his stay at the distillery
there came up a heavy thunder-gust, which
suddenly raised the stream, and the night
being dark, and having no guide, John Ell
ther fell from his horse, or the horse was
himself swept away by the violence Of the
stream, so that he was drowned precisely
according to the dream he had had the night
before.

THE SENSATIONS OF DRUNKENNEss.-
The New Orleans Picayune contains the
" confessions" Of man who was 'never
drunk but once" and never "means to be
SO again. In describing the sensation, he
says, I" the street seemed to be very steep,
and ] lifted my feet at every step, as if !
was getting up stairs. Several cart wheels
were making revolutions in my brains, and
| at one time fancied my head was a large
turning establishment, the lathes Of which
/. was keeping in motion with my feet.
couldn't conceive what was the reason the
town had turned into such an enormous
hill and what made ii worse was, that il
seemed all the time to be growing higher,
and threatened to pitch over on me. Stop,
stop, said |, and I'll head this old hill yet
or at least, it shan't head me. | turned
round TO 90 down and get at the bottom
tell me if the town didn't turn right
round with me, heading me all the time
and presenting the high bluff in front o.
me. Well, sure enough, the ground flew
up and struck me on the forehead; and
as soon as the stars cleared away, com.
menced climbing with my hands and
knees, The next thing ] saw was big
brick house coming full split round cor
ner, and. believe it run right over me,
for don't remember any more"

KILLED
Rio Janeiro letters to the 18th of Decem-
ber, at Baltimore, contain accounts of the
late engagement between the allied forces
of the English and some Of Rosas' batteries,
at the mouth Of the river Parana. On the
part Of the English and French, the victory
was complete, not, however, without Sc
rious losses as regards life, and property in
tire way of shipping.
The English brig OF war Dolphin, receiv-
ed 10Y round shot in her hull and rigging
during the engagement. The French steam
er Fulton, 104 shot; and French vessel,
or at least vessel manned by Frenchmen,
but formerly belonging to the Buenos Ay-
reans, was completely riddled. The total
loss Of the allies amounts to about so kill
ed and wounded, while on the part Of the
enemy no correct statement has yet been
made public. Report says that upwards OF
800 men are missing Certain it is, that in
one fort no less than so bodies were found,
and in another some $50 or l6O, and what is
still more strange, they were all blacks.
To account for this, it is said that as fast as
a white man fell, killed or wounded, he
was Immediately carried off, while the poor
blacks were kept at it, and lay where they
fell.
Once or twice these miserable wretches
attempted to flee from the forts, but no
sooner did they attempt it, than Rosas'
cavalry charged on them, and compelled
them to return to their guns at the point Of
the lance. Rosas seemed to have .antic-
pated the fight Of his men, and placed these
cavalry there on purpose TO keep them in
check; for on the landing of some 450 men
from the vessels of war, they met with but
very little opposition.
