Observation-Disclosures

LITTLE ROCK, Feb. 20.-0nly seven senators
were presen this morning, the Clayton men,
bers having lett for home TO prevent quorum.
Mr.. Hodgett took the chair, and the impeach-
ment managers from the house announced the
impeachment OF Gov. Clayton and Chief Justice
Mcclure, but the senate adjourned until to-mor-
row, IN consequence of lack of quorum. 10
the house the impeachment committee gave in
their report, generating Attorney General
Montgomery from willful neglect Of duty, as
charged.
Notwithstanding his impeachment, Mcclure
occupied his place on the bench to-day. The
Llttle Rock Republican, this morning, says
The impeachment articles against the governor
and the chief justice will fail for want of sen.
ate.
The stairway leading to the executive room
was boarded up this morning, and guard
placed over il, to prevent the passage of any one
not belonging to the Clayton party.
1t is generally understood that telegram
was received today from the president TO the
commander of this post, instructing him to pre-
serve peace. John Edwards has received his
certificate from Gov. Clayton as congressman

An order for carrying into effect the resolu-

the chief engineer of the FIRE department to con-
tract for the building of afire-alarm telegraph,
which passed the board of aldermen at the last
meeting, and had its first reading in the COM
mon council, was taken from the table for the
second reading.
Councilman Ross spoke at length upon the
subject, saying be had hoped the order would
not pass until it was known to the taxpayers to
q moral certainty that this telegraph was a
thing needed. He thought also, that other ex'
penses, in addition to the $4,000 appropriated
for its construction, would come up in keeping
it in working order, and require large outlay,
for which there was no certainty of return.
Councilmen Melaven and Hewett thought the
necessity for the alarm telegraph was quite ap-
parent, and Mr.. Hewett stated that he had late

more.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, II :35 P. ".
Synopsis of weather report for the past
twenty-iour hours:
The low barometer indicated in the west last
night, appeared to-day more decidedly in Mis-
souri,, but is now rapidly beng neutralzed by
stronger pressure in the gulf states. Fair and
clear weather have generally prevailed over the
country, but clouds and light snow are reported
al few points on Lakes Erie and Michigan.
The winds have increased to a fresh north
east, on the upper lakes, and at other points
they are gentle or calm.
Probabilities:
The rising barometer in the northwest con-
firms the other indications of fair weather to-
morrow, with cloudiness principally confined to
he lakes and middle states

From Washington.
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY. j
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 30.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 30.
MR.. BOWEN.
Mr.. Bowen, of South Carolina, was in his
seat in the house all the afternoon, as cool as an
iceberg. Nobody went near him. His friends
seem to be watching to see if the second trial
doesn't take him into the penitentiary.
MIR. SUMNER.
Mr.. Sumner is reported somewhat better TO-
day, with strong hopes that he may soon be out
again, with care, but his physician intimates
that he will have to avoid all work and excite
ment in the senate.
MR.. CREswELL AND THE ENVELOPES.
The investigation into Mr.. Creswell's envel.
ope contracts has been going on all day, and, so
far, with a bad showing for the postmaster gem
eral. 1t is said, however, that, before it is ended
he will be able to make good defence.
RHODE ISLAND.
Hon. A. c. Barstow, and Benz. 7. Eames, Mr.
Jenckes' successor in the house from Rhode
Island, were on the floor of the senate, this after
noon, in company with Mr.. Sprague, who intro
duced him to number of senators.
THE CARNIVAL.
The weather has been fine for the first day of
the carnival. Thousands of people lined the
avenue, but there was considerable disappOint-
ment over the performances until night came,
when the illumination and fireworks gave great
satisfaction. 1t is expected that to-morrow's
programme will prove more successful.
SAN DOMINGO.
About one O'Clock Secretary Robson appeared
on the floor of the house, with long dispatch
from San Domingo. His face beamed with joy.
The dispatch was read by the clerk, and, to the
surprise of many, it proved to be rose-colored
report OF the condition of things in San Domin-
go. Nevertheless the house was SO happy to
hear of the safety of the commission, that the
dispatch was applauded.
Al FRAUD AND A BORE.
The McGarrahau debate closed this afternoon,
amid much excitement, No private claim, in
this congress, has excited SO much feeling in the
house. Mr.. Bingham spoke in bis most impas-
stoned style, in behalf OF McGanahan, and Mr..
Garfield followed with violent objections against
McGarrahan. He denounced the whole claim
as a scheme Of rascality and fraud. Yet, spite
of his eloquence, the house supported the Nc
Garrahan claim.
WEST POINT.
Rumors are abundant that the war depart
ment will not accede to the request of the house
and order court martial on the West Point
cadets 1t is probable, however, that the stories
grew out of the fact that some of our local jour-
nails take the ground that the secretary of war
is not bound to obey simple resolution of one
branch of congress. Such resolutions, however,
are common. A hundred times in this congress
has one branch directed the secretary of the
treasury, of war, and of the navy, to commun-
cate certain information. Gen. Logan, chair
man of the house military committee, expressed
the opinion that Secretary Belknap will comply
with the request of the house, regarding 1t as an
order. SAM WELLER.

of the new bridge will be at once begun.

CITY MoRTALITY.-The number of deaths in
Worcester during the week ending February Is,
was % II males and II females. Three died of
consumption, two of scarlet fever and canker
rash, two of maniacal exhaustion, two of heart
disease, two of old age, and one each of lung
fever, cancer, dptheria, fits, epileptc fit, mumps
and humors. The two over 60 were S3 and Y,
nine were under five years, seven under two
years, five under one year, and two only day
Old. Twelve were of foreign parentage.
ABEL's COMBINATION Loom, a new inven-
ton, that has excited considerable interest
among manufacturers of woolens, and which,
if it is all that is claimed for it, promises to work
a revolution in the wooden manufacture, is to be
brought to this city for exhibition next week. 1t
is said to occupy much less space than the looms
now generally used, and to do ten times as much
work in the same time besides other merits.
Our manufacturers will be interested in exam
lining it.
SUDDEN DEATH.-An Irish laborer, named
Michael Shields, about forty years cd, who
lived with his mother on the corner of Black
stone and Charles streets, dropped dead last
night. He has been troubled with heart disease
for three or four weeks, and last night left the
house for a few moments, not seeming to be
worse than he had been for few days past.
As he did not come in as soon as expected,
sister went in search of him, and found him
dead. Coroner j. Marcus Rice was called, but
considered it so clearly a case of heart disease
that he did not deem an inquest necessary.
MUNICIPAL CoURT.-Charles Mitchell, the
boarding house thief, was examined on seven
complaints in the court, yesterday morning, and
held for trial at the superior court in sureties of
$500. Bridget Golf was examined for larceny
from Jas. G. Coburn, who lost several hundred
dollars at the house of Thomas Golf last Friday
night, and held for trial with sureties of $500.
Coburn himself was fined for drunkenness, and
so was Thomas Golf. James Mccoy was fined
$50 and costs for keeping open shop on Sunday.
Bartholomew J. O'Leary was ordered to recog-
nize in the sum of 500 to keep the peace, for
threatening; and seven others were fined for
drunkenness.
