From Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. Is,

" l. Gu LOs 1901.
Instead of the Corruption Committee
Report, the House began this morning to
consider the several appropriation bills, in
Guiding the Army, Navy, and others, which
were passed with uncommon DISPATCH
During the debate an exciting episode oc-
CURED, arising from the difficulty on Tues
day last, between Sherman of Ohio, and
Wright of Tennessee. About twelve
o'clock, Wright, accompanied by Savage of
Tennessee, walked over to the seat beyond
Sherman's, which is near the door, rather
to the left of the Speaker.
Wright's friends allege that he only went
to speak with Mr.. Harris, of Maryland, in
the rear of Sherman's desk, while, on the
other side, it is asserted, Wright evidently
had a purpose of insulting Sherman, acting
on the impression, and thinking he saw or
heard something in the conversation or
manner of Wright, to confirm it, tossed
handful of waters in the Tennessean's face,
throwing the responsibility of challenging
on him-a responsibility which previously
was supposed to lie on Sherman, in conse-
quence of Wright's imputation of falsehood
in the debate on Monday.
Ofcourse the waters were not palatable,
and row ensued. Wright it is averred,
put his hand conspicuously in his left breast
pocket, and Sherman sprung up aud struck
at him, but was seized by Wakeman of
New York. Wright was simultaneously
seized by Watkins, of Tennessee, and
Savage, and escorted to his seat. A great
deal of writing ensued among the parties,
friends collected in groups around them,
and at the last advices, Savage, Harrison,
and Keitt, were engaged in earnest consul
tation outside of the Hail. Ifany challen-
ges should pass, they must necessarily be
from Wright; but his friends, Keitt and
Savage, have determined that no such de-
under the circumstances is re-
quired.
Both Sherman and Wright, are plucky
men. Sherman, who is grandson of the
famous Roger Sherman, is of tall slender
figure, and is a forcible, earnest, but always
courteous and gentlemanlike debater.-
Wright is Short sandy-haired, and has a
turbulence of visage, which is said to belle
his disposition. Sherman insists, however,
that he,. (Wnght) did all he could to as
sumo defiant and insulting aspect, while
Wright as strenuously asserts that no in
suit was intended. Sherman, it will be

quarrel, Wright having charged Sherman
with falsehood. Both parties, l am infor-
med, were armed with revolvers.-C Cor. of

Heavy Mail Robbery.

We are indebted to DR.. Mawson for in
formation of mail robbery at Crestline,
which probably is very extensive one.-
Mr.. Thomas c. Hall, a merchant of Crest
line, on Saturday, found in his priyy sever
al letters and drafts directed to st. Louis,
and which letters and drafts appeared to
cover remittances exceeding $4,000. On
the same day, John Goodspeed, the bag
gage master on the Fort Wayne and Chi
cago Railroad, found the rifed mail bag
in the vault of the privy at the Crestline
station. Pamphlets and newspapers wers
still remaining in the bag which had been
cut open. ..if ~ rs .-f .fia
The mail taken was, no doubt, the through
mail between Pittsburgh and Chicago and
St. Louis, on its way West as one letter
was found containing gold dollar directed
by mother at the East to her daughter
in Chicago. The affair is yet amystery,
but the supposition is that the mails in the
night were thrown from the car to the
platform, and then stolen. 1t is thought
by some that the mail was robbed before
it reached Crestline.
A gang of robbers and burglars have in
fosted the line of Railroad running from
Pittsburgh to Fort Wayne, and on Satur-
day this gang was pounced upon, and
twenty-seyen men were arrested at various
points on the road, east and west of Crest
line. Whether the mail robbers have any
connection with this gang, is not known.
The headquarters for this gang of
thieves is in Iowa.-Herald ea--..

FUGITIvE SLAVES PICKED UP IN THE
RIvER.-Thc clerk of the steamer Falls
City, VIM. H. Scudder, appeared at JUS
tice Johnson's Court Pine street, ON Satur-
day forenoon with two negroes picked up
in the river opposite Booths Point, New
Madrid, co., on Friday night. Between
nine and ten o'clock, cries Of distress were
heard on board, preceding from the water.
The steamer was stopped and yawl low
cred, and after some search, two half drown
ed negroes were rescued from the wreck of
capsized skiff. They stated that they
were Peter aged thirty, and Archy, twen-
ty-five years, slaves of Mr.. Watkins, of
Huntsville, Alabama; tbat with two Others
Thomas and Prestel, they had run away
from the plantation at Convers, because
the overseer was about to fog them, and
had travelled by night for two weeks the
distance of hundred miles till they came
to Booths Point, where they stole an old
skitf, and put across the river, the skiff fill
ing with water when they were about
hundred yards from shore. The four clung
to it till it rolled over, when the two lost
their hold and were drowned. Peter and
Archy are confined to be kept for their
master.-S. LOUIS Dem.

The Corruption Committee.

The New York Times reviews the testi-
mony which has been before the House and
refers to the result of the investigation set
on foot in part by its own correspondent
and concludes as follows:
Thus the house wiped off the stains of
corruption from its robes. Its next step
was TO expel the two witnesses by whom
their existence had been brought to the
public knowledge! This is climax of
justice which must command admiration.
After expelling three of its members for
corruption. the House felt so very pure
that it expelled the men who had said it
was ever otherwise. This is little ahead
of Caesars wife, .rss!r ..
But the end was not yet. The Commit
tee had digested and reported bill which
was to prevent Congress from ever becom-
ing corrupt again, l. was so framed as to
render impossible hereafter any attempt
upon Congressional virtue. Overjoyed at
tie prospect of being thus removed from
temptation, the House refused to lay the
bill on the table, 81 to 96, and then passed
~ 1Of " Oo. out uciHS iciHihuCU vi eiAS
inconveniences which its enactment might
entail upon them, they suddenly wheeled
about, r. considered the vote, 128 to Sc, and
then laid the bill on the table. Congress
is accordingly in just as much danger of
being corrupted as it ever was.
Thus ends the play. 1t has had several
characters tragedy, part very low
comecy, and broad farce. The inquiry was
commenced in panic; and cowardice,
party malignity, personal malice, and sin
cere honesty mingled in the conduct of its
several stages. While we cannot approve
of all its parts, we are heartily rejoiced at
the good results it is likely to bring about.
1t will check corruption if it does not stop
it. 1t will open the eyes of the country in
part to the character Of its representatives,
and by making constituents more watchful,
will render members more circumspect.-
There ought to be standing Committee
of the same sort at every session of every
Congress.

DANGEROUS CURIosITY.-An accident
which, though comic enough, might easily
have had tragical ending, occurred the
other day at Madame Tassaud's Exihb:-
ton. A medical student, examining the
gullotine in the chamber of Horrors, took
it into his head that the sort of yoke which
fits down on the shoulders of the criminal,
to hold him in his place, would not be suf-
ficient to confne person who struggled.
His curiosity on this point led him 10
watch till the place was empty, and actual
ly put himself in, letting down the yoke
He soon found that he was unable to lift it,
and it at once flashed into his mind that
the sharp axe which was suspended over
the neck could not be firmly fixed or it
would not fall las it does) with touch
He was afraid to struggle, least the shak-
ing would bring in it down, at once deposit
his head in the basket of sawdust below
him, into which his eyes were of necessity
steadily looking.
Having stayed some time in this plight,
he was oveGoyed to hear the approach of
the visitor, whom he suppliantly implored
to release him. "rm thinking" said the
gentleman ia scotch,:visitor of the metrop-
olis) to bis wife. am thinking he must
be hired to show how the thing acts, and l
think we'd better not interfere" So the
luckless student was left till Madame Taus-
saud came in, and made fast the axe be-
fore releasing him. The axe has been re-
moved and laid by the side, to prevent fu-
ture accidents.-London Weekly Register.

German COnstancy.-.A RO-
nance.

On Monday last, on the arrival of the
morning train from the east, two German
girls stepped out of the cars, and were rec
ognized by two young men who We're stand
ing on the platform, when they were clasp
ed in each others arms. Their emigration
to this country forms an interesting story.
The two young men were natives of Wor-
temburg, Germany, and when in their ma
tive place, ''fell in love" with the daughters
of wealthy citizen, and their love was re-
ciprocated on the part of the daughters
But the attention of the youths, who were
poor, provoked the ire of the parents of the
maidens. They would be disgraced by
the marriage of their daughters-to the two
''poor young men of Wortemburg." Find
ing that the sold folks" could not be recon-
ciled, they hit upon the following plan,
forming a sacred agreement: The two
young men would leave Wortemburg and
come to the United States, and earn mon
ey-when, having earned enough, they
would send for the object of their affection,
they declaring constahey until DEATH
They parted. The young men came to
America, and by the persuasion of friends
who had preceded them to this country,
they settled down to hard labor in Amber
sons Valley, some miles from Shippens-
burg. After working about a year, they
accumulated the means necessary to con-
vey the idols of their hearts from Germany
to America, and Immediately dispatched
it to them-spending many sleepless nights
in anxiety for their arrival. On Monday
last their cup of joy was filled, for their
idols reached them in safety and in health.
Ttey left home unknown to their parents,
and came alone four thousand miles with
out meeting an acquaintance till they en-
braced their lovers at the depot in Ship
pensburg. Shi2pens6uvg Pa. News.

RETURNING HoME.-The Alta Califor-
MIA says that among the significant facts
which have accompanied the march crime
and rufianism through that State, is one,
the announcement of which has been re-
ceived with the most profound regret
Nearly all the Chinese, and returning to
the land of Young Hyson. Within the
past three months, the number of Chinese
in California has decreased over two thou
sand, by emigration, and the conduct of
those remaining would seem to indicate
general determination on their part to aban-
don the Pacific coast altogether. The ex-
planation of this most singular fact is in
the exceedingly cruel treatment which the
Chinese have received at the hands of GER
tain whites. By some, they seem to be
considered fair objects for plunder-to Re
robbed, murdered or assaulted, as profit or
opportunitnity may dictate. 1t is very
seldom that they can obtain redress from
the law. The settlers are abanded against
them, End there seems to be general COM
bination ON all hands to deprive them of
their rights. .--f III .........-

Tar and feathers.

The Ashtabula Sentinel gave an account
of an attempt, on. the 14th ult., in the
township of Bristol, TrumbuIl county,to
tar and feather Mr.. Orange Ball.. The
Warren Chronicle gives the result of the
examination before Justice Abel. It
saws: -e----.-.---
1t tappears that Joseph Ball, very In
firm old man, had for some cause left his
wife, a much younger woman, with whom
he had lived in Bristol six or seven years,
and had gone to his brothers at Orwell
A son of Joseph's, by former marriage,
sent to Orange Ball a power of attorneys TO
take possession of the lands, household
goods, and personal property of every de-
scription, claiming them as the property of
the son. On this errand Orange Ball went
to Bristol, where Mrs. Joseph Ball was
still residing, and with his daughter took
up his quarters in the house, waiting an OPP
portunity to dispossess his sister-in-law.
The people of the town very generally
sympathized with the woman, but no troub-
le was made. On the night of the 18th,
however, Orange Ball was taken in the
manner described last tweek, and the out
rage attempted. He testified that as the
door opened, the light fell on the face of q
single person, whom he recognized as He
man Hammond; and he thought he knew
the voice of another as that of s. d. Ad-
ans, whilst his daughter swore that the
light fell on the face of single individual
whom she recognized as Jacob Norton
All these three gentlemen are among the
first class citizens of Bristol, and the latter
two are leading members in the church
there. Their previous unimpeachable
character, and the fact that they all offer
strong proof tending to show themselves to
have been st home and in bed at the time
of the occurrence, has produced a strong be-
lief on thep part of the most of the commu-
nifty, that the suspicious of Mr.. Orange
Ball have fallen upon the wrong persons
Two others, besides those above named,
were arrested but discharged; the threelwe
have named are bound over to answer to
The Probate Court. iI77-'- '--'-ss74 4--

EE The probable profits of the Subma

H The probable profits of the Subma-
rine Telegraph across the Atlantic are coun-
ted up by the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger as follows:
We do not discover clearly why the
Company should have so strenuously sought
to the aid of our Government. The pat
ronage of one Government is quite sufficient
to sustain the Company, and the ships Of
England in every way capable of submerg-
ing the cable. The Company, ought,
therefore, to be satisfied with the patron
age of the Government of Great Britain
The profits on the undertaking, will be suf-
ficient for all expectation. 20 words per
minute will be 1900 more words per hour,
$4,000 per day of 20 hours, or s, s,7OO,OOO
words per year, which at 0 cents per word
will yield gross revenue of ss76,OOO or
9175,2OO sterling, on capital stock of
e350,000 sterling, while the actual ex-
pense of operating could not exceed f4o,-
900 sterling leaving an annual sur
plus, lat 10 cents per word,) 8135,2OO
sterling; so that three years operating the
cable would liquidate the whole of the fun
damental stock Of the Company and pay
three annual dividends of over Is per cent
The Company, then, appears somewhat
avaricious in its greater anxiety to have an
annual subsidy Of $4,000 of our as well
as from the English Government.
The Submarine Telegraph Gable, now
in course of manufacture, was ordered to
be made only after the government of
England guaranteed certain annual
amount on the capital stock, necessary to
perfect the project; the company therefore
commenced operations upon certain data,
although it is impossible to know, as yet,
what the total outlay will be. A cable
may be lost; second and third may be
lost; the outlay may thus exceed the whole
amount of the stock of the company, and
although the patronage is not more liberal
than the Importance of the undertaking
warrants, it is enough, and we cannot per.
ceive why the company should seek or need
the subsidy from our own government as
well as from that of England.

AN INCIDENT OF THE FUEL FAMINE AT
CHIcAGo.-The The Chicago Democratic
Press tells the following story, and vouch-
es for its truth: - i7 - ai i.le-f fl
There was crowd in the office of the
City Marshal yesterday, where that good
natured officer was selling wood to the
poor. "Stand back all of you, and let the
woman with baby have chance The
crowd complied, and again and again, wo-
man after woman, each with little babe
in her arms, kept pressing forward to the
desk. The Marshal took it coolly for
while, but finally the infant began to as
sumo familiar look, ard an examination
was had, when it turned out that the moth
er was lending her baby to all her acquaia-
tanees, to secure for them the immunities
which she herself enjoyed. There was a
laugh ali round and fresh start. jim
AYERS that the last borrower of the baby
pinched it to excite additional sympathy.

COMETH A BLESSING DOWN.
BY MARY FRANCIS TYLER.

BY MARY FRANCIS TYLER.
Not to the man of dollars,
Not the man of deeds,
Not TO the man of cunning,
Not to the man of creeds;
Not to the one whose passion
Is for a worlds renown,
Not in form of fashion,
Cometh a blessing down.
Not unto the lands expansion.
Not to the miser's chest,
Not to the princely mansion,
Not TO the blazoned crest,
Not to the sordid worldling.
Not to the Knavish clown,
Not to the naughty tyrant.
Cometh a blessing down.
Not to the folly blinded,
Not to the stepped in shame,
Not to the carnal minded,
Not to unholy fame;
Not in neglect of duty,
Not TO the monarch's crown,
Not at the smile of beauty,
Cometh blessing down.
But unto the one whose spirit
Yearns for the great and good;
Unto the one whose storehouse
Yieldeth the hungry food;
Into the one who labors,
Fearless of foe or frown,
Unto the kindly-hearted,
Cometh blessing down.
