They Have Another ROuud-Butler
IS WOrSted.
= From report of last Fridays pro.
ceedIngs in the House we quote:
At 2 O'Clock P. M, in the House, on
the report of the conference committee,
Butler again attacked Schenck. 1t has
been understood among the friends of
Schenck that he feared Butler would
leave the affair as 1t was at the close OF
the first alteration, and so give no OPP
portunitY for a vindication. Buffers
attack was, as before, bitter and per-
sonal, full OF finsinuations of the gravest
character. In anticipation of hereply,
profound sensation was manifested by
the close attention given by the entire
House.
Schenck was brief, clear, and person
al. He was so severe that Logan, who
also had attacked Schenck, jumped to
his feet and asked: "Does the gentle
man refer to met" His reply was that
he did not fix his remarks on Butler.
He denounced Butler as being guilty OF
false accusations, and dared him to
follow them up. He drew vivid pic
ture OF what he considered Buffers
character, referred to his antecedents,
and spoke Of his position before the
country as being OF such sort that
man OF any character was saved an
alteration. The speech of Schenck was
only ten minutes in length, and SO
worded as to be strictly parliamentary.
To the establishment of the House But
Ter made NO response, thus proving
that his charges, made some weeks
since and repeated this morning, were
without foundation. Both parties
award Schenck praise for his manage
ment of the controversy.

new York Cattle Market.

NEW oRkI April IL.
Receipts for the week-6. 155 beeves,
%. O59 sheep and lambs, l3, 269 hogs.
CATTLE-The week opened with fair
supply of cattle, and at prices fully
half to three quarters OF cent below
the figures of Monday, so the advance
realized on that day was entirely lost.
The market, however. gathered little
strength and by Friday things looked
little better for statesmen, who sold at
prices Xc below Mondays rates. To-
day with a supply Of 100 car loads at
Communipaw, A. at West End, 200 head
at National Yards, and a very fine day,
the market was moderately active. but
as holders did not care to force sales
trade was slow and prices ruled about
nc below the rates OF last Monday.
Poor to medium cattle at l2al3I4c: me-
dium to fair steers at 14A15c; coed steers
and fat oxen at l5zal6c; prime to ex-
ira steers at 16Al63zc; choice at l611al!c.
The majority OF sales were at l4al5c;
average price at 1417ci the poorest cattle
brought l1a12c.
SHEEP AND LAMBS-In the earlier
part OF the week the arrivals were, at
Communipaw, 6.40O head, and S.4OO
head at 4OLh street market. AT the
opening the market was hrn for good,
but slow for common common e stock: Prlces te
extra prime wool sheep, while shorn
sheep ranged from 6ka711c. Towards
the close OF sthe week sellers in view OF
the falling of in receipts, were tirmer In
their views, while buyers were not pre-
pared to pay higher prices, and thus the
market was quiet. Today the oher-
ings were 1000 head at COmmunipaw;
500 at Hudson City, and 5000 at 10th
street, and the market for good stock
ruled quiet and steady at full prices;
while poor sheep were very slow of sale

leading appointments, such as Motley
for England, Curtis for Russia, Shella-
barger for Portugal, and Sickles foI
Mexico, have been agreed on for some
time, but withheld till the larger part
of the foreign list WAS adjusted, as the
numbers OF first class men applying
for the various positions have been
such that there has been great difficult
ty in making the selection SO as to suit
all the considerations of merit, geo.
graphical location and political prefer
ences.
The Tribune states that the officers OF
both the Union Pacific and Central Pa
citic Railroad have decided not to have
any opening or other excursion on their
roads this summer, for the reason that
1t will take all their time and rolling
stock to do the legitimate business over
the roads, to get it in first class cOndi-
ton; and everything 50 far has been
pushed to an early construction. They
have given all members of Congress
free passes over the roads which are
good for one year.

amount to ten millions a year.

Furnishing Houses,

Mr.. Eastlake. very cultivated Eng
lish writer, has been giving his views
on the decoration Of houses, and point
ing out the follies and extravagances
OF modern upholstery. The London
Spectator, commenting on Mr.. East
lakes book on "Household Taste,"
says: "Let every man or woman who
is furnishing decide for himself or her
self what he wants, arrange his rooms
as he pleases, take no counsel except
from artists and books and his own
sense of convenience, snub every seller
who ventures to mutter 'They are not
now used" and, above all, give time to
the search for the precise thing he wants.
With time and little money anything
can be accomplished, even the furnish
ing OF a modern house so that it shall
be pleasant habitation, shall not re-
Quire renewal more than once in a life
time, and shall not bear the most dis
tant resemblance to an upholsterer' g
showroom" The ridiculous custom OF
turning ones house into mere imita-
ton OF every one else's, and utterly de-
stroying its individuality by the resem-
blance to every other one in the town,
is too absurd, and is only equaled by
keeping a large, dreary, freshly-fur-
nished parlor, shut up and seldom used
because other people do. Every room
in a house should have an occupied,
habitable air, and not look like the
showroom of an upholsterer, and thus
serve as q mere advertisement OF some
shop instead of showing the taste of the
occupants of the house.

Greeley as "a sIeepist and Reporter.
The New York Sun says of Mr.. Gree
Lewis nnnarent snmnolence:

Greeley as "a SIeepist and Reporter.
The New York Sun says of Mr.. Gree
ley's apparent somnolence:
"Mr. Greeley's sleep is one of his re.
markable peculiarities. It is really an
attitu de of profound attention. There
is a tradition in the Tribune Office that
some twenty five years ago he attended
lecture delivered by Bishop Hughes,
afterward Archbishop of his diocese.
He occupied seat on the platform.
When the Bishop began to speak, Mr..
Greeley closed his eyes and began to
nod. His head dropped on his breast,
and in ten minutes his placid but
not inaudible breathing formed a
monotonous accompaniment to the
polished and brilliant sentences OF
The Bishop. At the conclusion
of the lecture Mr.. Greeley return
ed to the Tribune office, and at mid:
night learned that the reporter detailed
to attend the meeting had failed to ap.
pear. Thereupon Mr.. Greeley went to
his desk and wrote out two column
report of the lecture, even reproducing
many of the Bishops exact sentences.
The editor OF the Tribune, it is said,
has frequently written out trst.class
reports of DIR. ChRpin's eloquent SER
mons, though apparently in sound
sleep during their delivery. The case
Is one Of unusual psychological and
physiological interest. We have never
heard OF any other instance in which
the mental powers are so wide awake
while the outward appearance was one
OF such profound somnOlence.

THE NOTORIOUS swindler" who re-
ceived an important appointment In
New York, is as we surmised, James
Wadsworth, nominated for U. s. Mar
shall for the Southern District. The
tStt1u says Mr.. Wadsworth has gone into
bankruptcy, and the list of sums due
his creditors foots up S3S3, ,574. Mr..
Wadsworth is a lawyer; and the Sun
wants to know how a lawyer could pos
sibly '"get hold of and lose or spend
1888, 600 of other peoples money ?" and
adds that Mr.. w. seems to have given
his whole mind 10 the art OF borrowing
and to have depended on 1t for living.
We quote paragraph;
One illustration of his many devices
is connected with an Item of $500, which
appears on the list as due to John +.
williams, Esq, the respected President
of the Metropolitan Bank OF this city.
WadsWorth had an Office in that neigh
borhood, and was. In consequence,
known to Mr.. Williams. One morning
he came In a great hurry and said to
him, "Mr. Williams, my boy. who
keeps the key of my safe, has not come
in vet, and 1 want to use right away
$500 that have got locked up there.
Will you be good enough 20 reno me
the money till can get 1t out7" Thrown
off his guard by this plausible story,
Mr.. Williams handed over the $500, and
that was the last he saw OF 1t.
The Post says:
If the charges which are current
lv circulated against James Wads-
worth, lately nominated by Cen
eral Grant to the Senate as Marshal OF
the Southern District of New 1ork, are
trne- another mistake has been made
by the Executive. The charge is that
Mr.. Wadsworth, lawyer, became a
bankrupt with nearly four hundred
thousand dollars OF debt, which was
largely for borrowed money, obtained
from verybody who would lend, IN
various parts or the country. 1t would
be e0reeiously unsafe to put man who
has such a habit of borrowing and new
er paying, into the Office for which he
is nominated,

DRY GOODS MARKET.
TIE market Is lacking in buoyancy as
we'll as activity, but where concessions
are Welded holders are disposed to take
hold OF low priced goods with more
alacrity, The most important change
noticeable to-day Is the fall in wan
anita bleached muslins to Z2Izcj the
Maxwell bIeached do are down TO zoe;
Kearsarge L to I515c, and Hope is SELL
ing as low as lac. There has been no
great difference in the price of Tuscaro-
Ta and Wamsutta the last week, but
this is now obvlated by the reduction
in the prices of the latter. New York
Mills muslins must follow Wamsutta
and go to 25c, if it took month TO do
it, Ginghams are still relatively too
high, and we look for O decline in them
at any moment. Everything else In
textile fabrics is selling at pretty low
If not Improbable rates, and as mat
ter OF course cannot descend any lower.
MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-Market very close. The
bulk of thel operations were at per
cent currency, with commissions of LILO
az, mainly the former and coin inter-
est. Discounts nominal.
STERLISG-Dull and heavy at 1O71<a
1O75s for best bills; and it is difficult to
name the price for round lots.

steady; opened at 1881, and closed at
1331Sa133L.
The City of Brooklyn brought 81 ,034,-
900 in American coin from Europe, for
which the Assistant Treasury has is-
sued on proper authority. Rates paid

It appears the Bank of New York paid
all its gold checks Saturday.
