CARLISLE, Pa, March |

CARLISLE, Pa, March 16.
Last evening two soldiers came into
town, and when near the Court H ouso
they we're attacked by two men named
A. Hammll and p, Gilmore. Neither
party was hurt, and the soldiers left for
the garrison. About eight o'clock some
fifty soldiers came into town with car
bines, revolvers and sabres. They hal.
ted near the Court House and fired in
to the crowd of citizens who were stand
ing near the point where the polls we're
located. The citizens drew their rcvol-
vers and returned the fire, when a gen
eral riot ensued. The soldiers retreat
ed on a run, and tho citizens gave pur-
suit. The soldiers took position at the
edge of the town. A guard arrived
from the post, and the firing was kept
up for some time. The guard arrested
several citizens and returned to the gars
rison. On the way they met Hammell
who had a gun on his shoulder. He
was ordered by the guard to lay down
the gun, and on his refusal they fired on
him. The ball struck him in the breast
to the left of the right nipple, and came
out near the shoulder blade. The woun'
ded man died in three hours. Among
the wounded are, Mrs. Stewart-who
was standing in the door of her own
house-shot through the left foot ;
Thomas Simmerman, shot the ore.arm,
crushing the bones Jacob Small, shot
through the centre OF the right hand ;
Mr.. Hallebough, shot in the head, cut.
ting the scalp. All the above were cit.
izens. The soldiers were wounded
one in the head and the other in the
leg; the one hit in the head is mortally
wounded. For several nights past sol
diers have been in town creating much
disturbance. Thereare about four hun.
dred soldiers at the past.

The woolen manufacturers of Rhode
Island have had two bites at the che rry
lately. The revised tariff gave them
additional protection, and they have re-
duced the wages of the operatives ten
per cent. That will do for once. 1t is
a pity they could not have a prohib
itory tariff and their operatives work for
nothing. That might satisfy their ra-
pacious pockets.

Mr.. EDITOR IL send in the following
solution to A RS problem given last week,
Two wheels, one four and the other five
feet in diameter placed upon an axle TWEEN
ty feet apart will form the frustum of an
imaginary cone diminishing one foot in
every twenty feet, thus coming to point
at one hundred feet from the centre ol the
larger wheel. From there to the ground
at a right angle two and half feet. The
sum of the squares of the two will be the
square of one half the true diameter of the
outside circle. which makes the diameter
200 OG24 feet. The diameter the small
Ter circle is forty feet less. The answer
to the Partnership problem as given in the
last No. Of the ADVOCATE. gives A. 90 b.

WATERFALLs'-The following which
we clip from one Of our exchanges, con-
tains some valuable information for the
ladies in reference to the manufacture of
waterfalls
Take four pounds of rags and a bunch of
shavings,
An old tin pan, and bunch of straw;
Then steal an old hat of somebody's leav
ings,
And swear it's your own, to get clear of
the law;
Next, get an old stocking, and stuff it with
Taper,
And if it is possible, put in mole
Then get some old china, and a nutmeg
CRATER,
And make them all up in nice little
roll;
Put all these things in a net of red,
And gliStening beads must cover them all;
Then fasten it on the back of your head,
And you will have waterfall.

II. W's problem is easily solved by draw
ing lines from each side of the two wheels
until they meet, The point of intersection
would be the centre Of the circle described
by the wheels, or the distance from the
outer wheel to the intersection of the lines
would be one half the diameter, or radius
of the larger circle. This distance isread-
lily found by similar triangles or proper
tion to be 100 feet. Then the diameter of
the larger circle is 200 feet, and of the les
ser lG0 feet. ].

Mr.. EDIToR The gain of each of the
partners in A. RS" problem republish-
ed in the ADVOCATE of the 18th inst, is as
follows: A gains $50, b gains $40, C
gains SEQ. Solution-it is readily seen by
inspection that gains $50 more than A.
and that C gains $40 more than A. Then
in the first statement, A and gains
Sl20, we have three times AS gain added
to $50 and $40 equals $l20, consequently
AS gain will be $50 more than \ it would
be $40, and C's gain is $40 more than AS
it would be 500 TO find DIS gain we have
only to take the second statement and sub
stitue B and C's gain thus $40 $50 DIS
gain equals $3.50. Hence DIS gain is $50.

WAS HrNGroN. March 2s.-An interesting
icaV" 'e In the discussion to-day In the SEN
a.e' n' 'on the question of adjournment was
ule argument upon the proposition TO dele
gaze To the presiding officers of the respec-
NV @ Houses Of Congress the power to de-
Iet mine whether Congress shall convene ON
given day or not.
Mr. Edmunds made an able and convlnc-
lng speech, the burtheu of which was that
the power sought to be deputed to Che pre-
siding officers is purely legislative. and
mat IL Is unauthorized by law, and in viola
non OF the well settled principle that legis-
iatiVe function can not be delayed by lcgis-
latOrs.
| The point was tacitly considered by the
senate, and most of those who argued the
| proposition to give the presiding officer,
The discretion mentioned, Abandoned it,
But Mr.. sherman eudcavored TO show tina;
| the proposition is not unauthorized, but
tllrly deducible from the powers lodged I'm
| congress by the Constitution.
Mr. sherman characterised the project to
| bring Congress here in extra session during
The summer rs "a ridiculous farcen We
All know, said he that it is not expected
that members ofCongress will come here
10 attend the proposed meeting of Congress
lie was willing to vote for the proposed
meeting however. to please mis- friends in
the House, but nevertheless there was no
necessity for the extra session.
The President could do no harm If he
would, aud he (Mr Shcrman) was satisfied
that Mr.. johnson was executing faithfully
the reconstruction laws, passed recently
and that he intended TO execute them
whether Congress shall be i'm session or
not.
The rejection ofGeneral Slocum this af
ternoon. by the Senate, surprises some, who
suppose that well-tricd soldier of the field
would be acceptable to the Senate for
Naval officer at New York. aul especially
inasmuch as he had under his command in
the field several Connecticut regiments
whose members are much attached to their
late commander.
The President to-day nominated General
Lowell IL. Rousseau to he Il Brgadier Gen
eral in the regular army. vjce General Ro-
Secrans resigned.
Among the nominations to-day were the
following:
5. j. Roger, Collector Seventeenth Dis
trict Pennsylvania; Augustus w. Brad
lord, surveyor Of Customs of Baltimore ;
B. +, NJ. Hurley, Assessor Fourth District
