SAD CASE OF DRONN,NG.-About 6 o'clock
on Wednesday evening, James Finnetry, who
ever since it was built has been emploved q,
tender of the side cut canal lock at this city and
watchman of the side cut aud feeder, while A..
tempting te close the lock gates, slipped and
iell into the water. His body was drawa against
the gate by the current, in which position he
hung half an hour, when dropping down, he
was drawn through and into the vortex below
and drowned. While in the water, three or four
men were drawn to him by his cries, and though
they had passed him rope, which he had pres.
enoe OF mind enough to fasten securely around
his wrist, and though he was less than two feet
below where the men stood, they were STRANGELY
and msst unaccosntably unable to rescue him.
They must have lost all presence of mind. Mr..
flnnetry was man about IS years of age. and
leaves wife and seven children. To his public

From Washington.

Congress met on Monday a quorum being
present in both houses.
The only bills yet passed in either house,
were two in the house on Tuesday-one in re-
ference to the duty on copper, and one to
transfer the Indian Bureau from the Interior
to the War Department.
The admission of the Georgia senators was
objected to on the ground that that state, hay
ing expelled the negroes from the legislature,
needed further reconstructing. The senators
remain out IN the cold.
Halt dozen of financial bils-seversl pro-
posing to force a resumption of specie psy-
ment by the 4th Of July, have been introduced
in both houses.
Boutwell, has introduced bill to provide for
universal negro suffrage in all the states by
law of congress. Others propose to reach the
came result by constitutional amendment.
The Presidents Message was presented in
both houses on Wednesday. In the senate

past year to enforce unconstitutional and op-
pressive laws-when motion was made to
dispense with the further reading, on the
ground that it was disrespectful. The motion
caused an animated debate, pending which
the senate adjourned. Next day, however, the
message was read through. after which it wsa
laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
In the House the Message was permitted to
oe read through, but at its close Mr.. Washburn
made passionate speech, characterizing the
message as the most slanderous document ever
presented to Legislative body. On his mo-
tien it was laid ON the table, and only the
usual number of copies order to be printed.
The Report Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury is published, and shows an increase in the
public debt, during the past year, of s35, 1885,.
102. The Secretary adheres to his policy of
forcing an early resumption of specie pay
tment by retiring the greenbacks, which he
denounces as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL dishonorable
and disreputable currency.

The Message.

The Chicago Times was "a hours ahead OF
its contemporaries in publishing the Presi-
dents Message, issuing it on Wednesday
morning, when, in fact, it was not read until
Wednesday. The Times must have INDUCED
in some " intrigue" in the matter.
The President ayails himself of his last
message to relieve his mind by indulging in a
good, solid, hearty scold. The message Is full
of plain, blunt, scalding truths, which had the
usual effect in such cases, when read to con-
gress, Of producing intense rage ON the part OF
the scotdees The document is eminently
Andy-Johnsonish all through, and will amply
repay perusal.

of Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper
contains fine engraving, thirty -one by
twenty-one inches, representing the High
Court of Impeachment in session in the
Senate Chamber at Washington. The oc-
casion chosen by the artist for illustration
is the reading of the answer to the articles
of impeachment, by Mr.. Curtis, counsel for
the President. AS work of art, this pic
ture is creditable to Mr.. Leslie's establish
ment, and it has further value in being an
accurate pictorial record of an event of
great national Importance, and of ab
sorbing popular interest. 1t will bear
comparison with anything of the kind
