In both Houses of Congress yesterday
long speeches were the feature. The
Franking Privilege bill was discussed
with a speech from Morrill, Of Ver-
mont, and the Mississippi bill with
speeches from Messrs. Bayard and Da-
Wis. The latter read three mortal
hours from manuscript, and when he
had concluded, the Senate adjourned.
In the House of Representatives the
resolution requesting information from
the PRESIDENT relative to the imprison-
ment Of American citizens in British
prisons, after debate between Messrs.
Cox, Swami, Banks, and Cavanaugh,
was passed. About dozen member
asked and obtained leave to have
speeches on the same subject printed in
the Globe. The contested election case
of Van Wyck against Greene was ia
ken up and discussed, but without a
vote the House adjourned.

W AchAAGlO2f 1 CD. II
In the United States Senate yester-
day the House bill to provide artificial
limbs for disabled soldiers was taken
up and amended BY extending its pro-
visions to the soldiers of the Mexican
war and war Of 1872. The Senate then
discussed the Mississippi bill Until the
hour of adjournment. Speeches were
made by Senators Yates, Edmunds,
and Morton, in favor of continued
exactions upon the South; and by
Stewart, Wiley, and Fowler. in behalf
of the admission Of Mississippi without
further conditions. Mr.. Stewart re-
marked that he did not believe Con-
gress had any constitutional power to
make conditions. In the House of
Representative Mr.. Cullom presented
a petition from number Of repenting
citizens of Massachusetts, requesting
that the State be remanded to terri
torial condition on account of its seces-
sion heresies in 1912. This palpabIe
hit created laughter, and the paper was
referred to the Reconstruction Com
mittee, Mr.. Cullom, from the Com
mittee on Territories, reported adj
versely on the bill for Territorial
government for Alaska. Mr.. Dawes
introduced a joint resolution requiring
the President to declare and maintain
a strictly impartial neutrality in the
contest now existing in Cnha, which
was referred to the Committee on For
eign Affairs. The House then went
into the consideration OF the Greene
Van Wyck contested election case, and
by party vote-1l9 to 51-turned out
Greene lDem.), ], the sitting member,
and gave his seat to Van Wyck Rad. },
who was not elected. This infamous
partisan decision was expected, and
may be expected, in the remaining
twenty-one contested cases. Mr.. Stiles
(Dem.l, of Pennsylvania, fitly denoun-
ced it as an outrage, and thought the
House had better adjourn at once, and
was checked by the Speaker with the
remark that his language was ''unpar-
liamentary." In the meantime the
members, as if ashamed of themselves,
had hurried away, leaving the House
without quorum, and an adjourn
ment necessarily followed.
WASHINGTON, Feb, Is.
The Mississippi bill, with all the ar
bitrary features, passed the Senate
yesterday. The closing discussion was
carried on by Senators Sumner, Drake,
Sawyer, and Cameron, and the case for
Mississippi without handouts" was
summed up by Mr.. Trumbull, but Mr..
Willey's amendment to repeal the con-
ditions in the Virginia bill was first
voted down-23 to 36-and then the
amendment of the Senate committee
simply declaring Mississippi entitled
to representation, by q to 81. Among
the Radicals who voted with the
Democrats in the affirmative were

TIE PACKET TRADE.-The irrcgu-
lar.sy OF the arrivals and departures of
the different. steamers in the river, this
season. has been the subject of frequent
complaint and the cause of no little
trouble and expense. Parties como to
the river expecting to get boat, any
day, and find the boats all in a hubble,
either above or below, and not unfre-
quently are compelled to wait several
days. 4 We have know persons to
come from Carroll parish to Monroe.
and find themselves thus delayed in get
ting transportation to New Orleans.
It seems that the same trouble has been
experienced in getting off cotton, it
having frequently happened that the
boats would come down loaded and
unable to take any more cotton when
reaching this point For this progress
eive, money making age. the steam
boatsmen on the Ouachita appear to be
decidedly Glow. There is no certainty
OF getting boat on given day. as
was formerly the case, but their trips
appear to be regulated entirely by cir
cumstauces. We trust that this season
will conclude with the Inauguration of
better system. rz..-.

Apriva te letter to the editor informs
US that w. A. Moulton, post master at
Bastrop, died on last Friday night, the
4th inst. We did not learn the nature
of his Observation-Disclosures.
''Tho nature of his disease" is unim-
portant. His acts while living much
more concern the reading public. He
was post master at Bastrop. it is true,
but without the appreciation of a single
man living there. He was one of the
faction who helped to defeat the will of
the people of Louisiana, and who hest
tated not in selecting the means necesr
sary to do it. a pretended friend of
the negroes. he betrayed them without
scruple; man of position. he degraded
himself by cohabitation with a negro
wench; Radical in high repute, he
swore falsely, as though the truth was
forbidden to pass his lips. If his
offenses were taken strictly into &C
count, we doubt if the plan of saliva
ton covered his case; and yet, if it is
not considered too free use of mercy.
we trust his soul is in repose to- day.

HoM1c1DE.-Mr.J J. T. Payne, a we'll.
known citizen of Morehouse parish,
was killed on his place near Lind
Grove the latter part of last week. 1t
seems the origin Of the difficulty arose
from the intermeddliug of some parties
with Mr.. Payne's laborers. These
parties camc to his place and sought
ON interview at the gin with Mr..
Payne's hands. Hearing of this, he
went to the gin with two supposed
friends to demand the reasons for such
conduct. An alteration ensued, fol-
lowed by the shooting and speedy
death of Mr.. Payne, and also the
wounding of one Of the parties REFER
red to. It is reported that several
shots were fred, but with no other
damage than that just stated. This is
the statement we have received. De-
ceased was large planter, and man
OF great energy, quick temperament
and rather uncompromising in his
opinions. He it was who killed the
negro St. Clair, of this parish. an act
he always justified as one of self defense
and for which he was tried and ac-
quilted. He leaves many friends to
mourn his death. We have heard
mat some of the men engaged in the
killing have been arrested.

The Cause of q Mild Winter.

The present winter has, so far. been the
mIldest known for h quarter of century.
A writer IN a Canadian newspaper accounts
for extraordinarily mild weather by pro
pounding theory which has at least the
merit OF originality. He says that the re-
marhable tidal wave that swept our shore on
the 9th of October last. and especially the
low lands Of the Bay of Fundy, submerging
Gil the marshes, dyked and undyked, was
caused by an uprising Of the bed of the sea
at some place not far distant, where it is
covered by the Gulf stream. This, in turn,
ne N aintsins, has been caused by one of the
many earthquakes whose effects have been
80 frequent IN low latitudes this autumn
The immediate result of the upheavsl was
to divert a vast volume of sea water from it's
usual course, thus accounting for the great
tidal wave. If the Gulf Stream, or q portion
of |, TINS diverted, is found, as he thinks, i,
will be found to have become permanently
changed, and to be located nearer this con
tinent than heretofore, then this strange and
unprecedented modification of climate will
be satisfactorily accounted for, and. may,
perhaps, be more or less continuous.

DEAR SIR-You will remember we pur-
chased several Of your Babcock Fire Extin.
gulshers for the protection Of our town. 1t
now gives me pleasure TO report that we had
no occasion to use them until Sunday morn
ing, Jan 23d, when fire broke out in the
dwelling and meat market Of Mr.. TinsieY
which threatened the destruction OF tn,
adjoining buildings. The nearest Extin
gulsher was at the mil! across the river
The mill being locked, Exsinguishers wer
procured from another quarter.
When they arrived, two rooms were en-
veloped in flames, and few believed tn
machines had capacity to arrest the fire. Ii
this we we're happily disappointed, as in
few minutes the FIRE was put out and cor
hsRration prevented.
This demonstration of the capacity of tn
Babcock Extinguishers 10 pat out ircipier
fires has fully confirmed the wisdom of OF
purchase, and induces me in this way
commend them to the public confidence
Truly, etc., W. NJ. LARRABEE,
