Washington, jan 16.--A debate in the
Senate to-day indicated disposition on the
part of the special committee having charge
OF the subject to report at an early day an
amnesty measure with but three or four re
stricted classes. The House reconstruction
committee, at their meeting to morrow, IN
tend to take up the question in somewhat
different but nevertheless important form,
by considering bill which Mr.. Beck, OF
the committee, has prepared, abolishing the
test oath.
It appears that quite large element in
the South, who are not disfranchised by the
fourteenth amendment, are disqualified from
holding Office by this iron clad oath Hun

hood, are dcoarred in measure from polit
ical prefernent BY the test-oath. 1t has on
ly been modified heretofore in the cases o.
members of Congress who have had THEN
disabilities removed by a special act. Three
Of the four new Georgia members admitted
to-day took this qualified oath
The second colsled member OF the House
was sworn in to-day from Georgia. He is

Carolina, nor Senator Revels, though be il

Mr.. Long, who was admitted to-day, was
quite warmly congratulated by several lead
ing republican members. Rainey and Long
fraternized at once, and struck mp CONVEX
sation as soon as the latter was sworn in
Long received many congratulations from
the white republicans also
A delegation from the Virginia Legisla-
ture waited on the President to-day to urge
a more liberal distribution of executive pat,
ronage through the South, and particularly
in Virginia. They stated that this was al
most the only effective means now left with
which to stem the growing tide CT democrat
ic popularity, and that unless sweeping
change was made among ofice-holders in
their State by the appointment to position
of men of LEGAL influence, the electoral votes
of both Virginia and West Virginia would
certainly DO thrown against the administra-
ton. The President heard the delegation
with great attention, and assured them that
he would take immediate steps to follow out
their advice.-Baltinaore San Correspon-

The Western Pork Trade.

Ofthis trade The Cincinnati Price Current
of Wednesday remarks:
The pork trade continues to be the lead
ing attraction, and it has been quite active
during the week, as regarded live hogs, but
there has been but little done in the product,
doubtless owing to the extreme high rates
asked by holders, which are relatively high
er than those current in other markets. but
they are nevertheless lower, relatively, than
the prices paid fo- hogs, and though remark
able, it is true that hogs, when alive, bring
much better prices than when slaughtered !;
and not only this, but sailed meats are neg
lected, though offered relatively lower than
dressed hogs, and still lower than the prices
paid for them alive and when the meat is
smoked it is almost unsaleablc, though the
prices asked arc far lower than the prime
cost. The receipts Of hogs at this place
have been lair for the advanced stage of the
season, but taking all the leadidg markets
together they have been quite large for the
week, and the Indications arc that large
number of hogs are still to come to market
from the Northwestern States. There is a
very general belief among capitalists, mor-
chants. farmers, and others in the interior,
that pork is very cheap, and that ''therc is
money in it, at the current prices, and this
accounts for the unusually large number Of
outside parties who have purchased on
speculation the present season, and also for
the fact that a considerable amount Of the
article is being cured by country merchants
and operators at home, and outside the reg
ular packing places.

In 1910, the number of adult whites in
the United States, who could neither read
nor write, amounted to $40, $50 ; and the
class in 1850 had increased to 962, 1913, and
in 1860 to ,126, 575. AS the census re-
returns for 1870 have not yet been COM
pleted, it is impossible to ascertain the ex-
act number of illterate persons at present il
the United States but it is estimated that,
including negroes, the number of persons in
this country who can neither read nor write
must be very near three millions

Maj. VIM. 7. Sutherlin appeared before
Committee of the Legislature on Friday
last, in advocacy of the establishment of an
independent Agricultural and Mechanical
College, with the lal d fund which has been
donated l'y Congress for educational purpo
ses in VII GINA. The idea is good One.
Every College is seeking to have big slice
of that land fund for their especial benefit,
and il the donation is SO distributed among

EDucAT1oNAL-In the House of Repre-
sentatives, Friday, during the discussion O.
the appropriation bill, Mr. Duke of Virgin
la, said:
Mr.. Duke. desire merely 10 give notice
now to the gentleman from Massachusetts
(Mr. Hoar,) that on Monday next I shall
ask leave to introduce bill appropriatine
one and half million acres of land for the
purposes of common school education in Vir-
ginia. That State has given an empire tc
this Union; and yet, up to this time, she
has never received one cent from the public
lands for the purposes of educa ton I
shall propose in that bill to divide that land
equally between the colored and the white
population of that State. And [ want to
see whether gentlemen on the other side Of
the House will support me in that propo.
sition.
Mr.. Hoar. Will the gentleman ALLOW me
to inquire Why he wished to divide this land
between the white and the colored people OF
that State Does he not want them to en-
joy it together ?
Mr.. Duke. I do not know that [ exact
ly understand the gentleman.
Mr.. Hoar. The gentleman says that he
proposes to divide this land between the
white and colored people Of his State.
Mr.. Duke. Yes to divide it between
them in proportion to their numbers.
CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIONS The
