MEMPHIS, February 26.-A number
Of planters from different sections OF
Arkansas have arrived here during the
past few days for the purpose of EN-,
ploying help to put in the next crop OF
cotton. They say it is impossible to
get niggers in this State to
make contracts for the future,

Arkansas for the purpose OF giving to
each negro in that State one hundred

titled to the floor. The galleries were
crowded to excess and hundreds OF

tators that no manifestations OF ap-
proval or disapproval would be per-
mittei.
Mr.. Nye stated that the nominee OF
the Philadelphia Convention was bound
to be the President, and that Grant

rebellion would break out anew. He
alluded in humorous terms to Mr..
Trumbulls Presidential aspirations.

President Tyler. threatening that in
case OF war with England, the South
would side with that power. lie also

lican party at length.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen also euloglsed
the President and the Republican
party. and denied that the allegations
OF Sumner and Schurz in reference to
the sales OF arms, had any foundation.
In reference to the general order busi-
ness, he said the law gave him discre-
tionary power in the matter. Collector
Murphy took the same view, and was
sustained by the opinion of the Solicitor
of the Treasury. The Senate then, at
40 P. NJ, adjourned.

Mr.. Leach, of North Carolina, moved
to suspend the rules and pass resolu-
ton declaring that in the opinion OF
the House a uniform tax of sixteen
cents per pound should be placed Oh
all manufactured tobacco.
Mr.. Dawes said he could show that

it would not take 81 100000.

On motion OF Mr.. Garfield the Honse
then went into committee of the Whole

Mr.. Garfield made brief speech IN
explanation of the bill. and was follow
ed bv Mr.. Brooks, who said he was
constrained to oppose it. He held IN
his hand one OF the most important
petitions yet presented on the floor OF
Congress. 1t Itrepresented over Sl4,OOO'-
900 OF capital, and employing vast
number of workmen in every part OF
New England asking for the abolition
of the duties on wool, coal, salt, iron
and oil. A PRAYER OF such Importance
ought not TO be denied, and in order to
grant it some discrimination must be
made against the passage of such meas.
ures as this deficiency bill, which will
keep S7,OO0,000 out Of the Treasury.
We could not relieve the people OF the
heavy burden OF taxation and at the
same time continue TO vote away such
large sums. -,
Mr.. Clarke, ofNew York, said he would
reply to the memorial Of the capitalists
which Mr.. Brooks had presented by
presenting the memorial from the
workingmen Of Syracuse, urging pro-
lection to American labor, asking that

made so as to protect laborers OF the
United States from competition. 500

moved that the House adjourn. The

Railroad Matters.

The following interesting item is from
the Philadelphia Ledger:
at is understood that Col. I. A.
Scott will retire from his position n the
Union Pacific Railroad Company. I'm
mediately following this announcement
on Saturday the stock OF that Com
pauy became unusually active on the
New York Stock Exchange, with sales
on Monday up to halt-past one o'clock
ofS43, 500 shares, the price advancing
from 32t to 36.. These extensive op-
eratious are based on the belief
that what rs known as the
Vanderbilt party, which means the
New York Central Railroad, has gone
into the Union Pacific, and will here
after control It's direction. The general
opinion, substantially bone ont by ex-
perience. seems TO be that the Wander
bilt party, when it once goes INTO
great CORPORATION, goes in to live there;
and this is the reason why this partlcu-
lar party has a more confident follow
ing than any other There has been
ali along an impression that the
interests Of the Pennsylvania railroad
people pointed more to the south and
southwest than in the direction of the
Middle Pacific route; and now the
impression is turned into a seem.
ing certainty. The connections Of the
Pennsylvania corporation are very I'm
portant to the general trade OF the
country and, if they continue to be
worked with a ssgacity equal to that
shown in securing them, they may end
hy restoring solvency and financial
honor in a number OF States which are
now under cloud. With Colonel
Scott as the President OF the Texas
Pacific railroad, the interest OF PhiIa.
del eIphla will be, in measure, transferred
to that trans continental route, while
New York will no doubt more aud
more attract the traffic 10y the Union
and Central roads

General News Summary.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-The
committee on Ways and Means this
morning agreed to report bill repeating
the law which requires stamps on pre-
serves and jellies. They also considered
the tariff bill, which they expect to re,
port to the House in a few days. The
committee on Appropriations considered
sundry deficiency measures.
1t has been determined to make
change in certain federal offices in Cali
foruia in order to divide the patronage
more equally. Messrs. Cole and Slr-
gent Sargent being the newly elected
Senator to succeed Cole) will, OF course,
Get the largest share in every division
CareFulinquiry by the proper account
ing officer at the Treasury Department
shows that all malicious stories about
Major O. E. Babcock drawing more
than one salary from the government,
or that he ever received more than his
necessary expenses for the part he took
in negotiating the San Domingo treaty
are unfounded. Babcock is not a
Colonel, neither is he an aid to Gen.
eral Sherman. He is simply Major
OF engineers, drawing pay according to
his rank and it is the only salary he has
received since the first OF March, 1863.
Major Babcock is a high toned, hon
orahle gentlemen and immensely popu
lar with those who know him best.
The report Of the New Orleans In.
yes,igating committee will not be sub
mitted to the House for about two weeks
vet, or until after all evidence, which
will make a book Of three hundred
PAGES, shall have been printed.
1t is understood from authoritative
sources that the President fully ap-
proves the course OF the Republicans
represent.d by the regular State com.
mi,tep, in their efforts to reform the ai-
miuistration in the affairs Of the State
Of Louisiana, and sympathizss with and
will aid the party and people generally
in every proper way; and that every
rrecaution will be taken under the pre-
sent LEGISLATION o. the country in order
to secure a fair election in November
next.
1t is believed to be the policy OF the
Republican party TO discountenance
those who have used their official posi-.
tons to plunder the people of the
South, in any future efforts they may
make TO secure further lease of power
A Bank Note Company in New York
forwards to the Treasury a letter from
B. W. RAYMOND of West Virginia who
would like to have fac-simile OF United
States notes engraved thus: The
United States will not pay to the bearer,
&c. This request the writer saws is Ior
the purpose OF getting something for
suckers always ready TO bite al a nakel
hook.
The report that the Clayton inves,i-
eating committee had finished their Ia
bors is pronounced BY member OF the
committee untrue. On the contrary,
the committee have only just fairly
begun to have large number Of wit
nesses examined, which will probably
keep them busily employed during the
entire session OF the present Congress.
