While our organ is in tuns, We VEN

singing; it shall be on the
minor key, however, for fear the
heavy bass Of Brother Davis should break
in at tho wrong place, as it did last week,
and make discord in the tune. We have
often wondered ifs mans pursuits made
difference with his singing For in
stance, could a swine driver utter as pleas

cupation induce grunting accompaniment
Of obstinate sounds, while the other scared

the falsetto OF a supervisor Of internal rev.

gauger's voice ripple out with the gurglc Of
dripping liquor These be questions con-

which our readers can ponder between

The sweet dreams of our sumber

TIRE NOTES,

AN alarm OF fire vas sounded Friday
night about MAE clock, which wasfound
to proceed from the roof Of Capt. Philips
wharfboa.. The intense heat arising from
q stove, caused the wood, surrounding the
pipe, to catch, and but for lucky fact Of
the steamer Thompson Dean lying at the
boat, would have occasioned serious loss.
The Dean got up steam AMI connecting
her hose, soon had a stream playing upon
the blaze, which was extinsuished before
the arrival Of the engines. The damage
VA. c,nRnel to the roof and was slight.

POLITICAL.
CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE.
That nTOOtodi Treaty.

HALIFAX, Feb. 19.--The Chronicle, In
reply to an editorial in the Toronto Globe,
Tidiculing the story of secret treaty, re-
asserts its authenticity and says it is cred
IDLY informed that it was signed after the
conclusion Of the Washington negotiations
by Lord DeGray for the British Govern
ment, and Sir JnO. A. Mcdonald as Premier
Of Canada, on the part of the Governor
General. The chief points had been mutu-
ally agreed on between the two govern
ments some years previously, and so far as
Great Britain was concerned It had then
been definitely settled as the basis of her
future colonial pNlicy.
When Lord Bury long since published his
draft Of the treaty It was not seemed ad-
visable to reduce the understanding to the
shape Of formal compact until the APPARENT
ly satisfactory conclusion of the Alabama
difficulty by the Washington treaty had, as
was thought, finally relieved England from
further danger and further intanglements
on the North American Continent.
The Chronicle says only Lord Lisgar, Sir
Jno. A. Mcdonald and Sir Geo. F. Cartier
are cognizant Of the treaty and mentions
some circumstances which indicate the fact
Of its existence.

MISSISSIPPI.

Trials Under the Enforcement Act.
MEMPHIS, Peb. 18.-The Appears Jack
son (Miss.) special of last night says the
trial Of Lee Berk, one Of the Meridian pris-
oners under the enforcement act, commenc-
ed yesterday before Judge Hillin the United
States Court. The past two weeks have
been occupied in preparations. The jury
was impaneled on Thursday, and is COM
posed of seven negroes and five whites.
The first witness for the government is a
negro, who has been on the stand two en-
tire days undergoing a searching examina-
ton by the prisoners counsel. The testi-
mony of the witness is most unreliable,
containing successive contradictions
throughout. District Attorney Jackson
represents the government. At the present
rate of progress, giving two days to each
witness, it will require six months to COM
plete the first case, there being seVenty-fve
witnesses and one hundred and fifty indict-
ments from Meridian. There are also over
two hundred negroes in attendance from
Meridian, and other parties who lounge
about the vacant rooms of the courthouse
at night, sleeping in any available place, and
subsist in a manner they can scarcely ex-
plain.

the report, as amended. He would like to
know, however, whether the minority had
also amended like clause which read to
report clear and intelligibly to the mass of
the American people, "on whose innate hon
esty and sense We rely, for we fear that no
facts will have any effect on the partisan
majority In Congress who have already
shown by the passage of Ku-Klux Bill
against theirjwill and judgment, they have
not disobeyed the orders of their imperious
not to say imperial President"
Mr.. Bingham made point Of order that
1t was not competent to make report to
the House rejecting on the legislation of
Congress and the action Of the Executive.
Mr.. Shanks said the language was highly
disrespectful to the House, and such as if
used by member on the floor in debate
the chair would call him to order.
Blngham-I object to the report being
received.
The Speaker further quoted the following
language Of the report: "And we will show
to all men, not blinded by prejudice or pas
sion, that the Ku-Klux bin and proceedings
were the groSsest outrage and foulest cal
umny." He said that was allowing the
minority TO say that the actions Of the ma
.joritY of the House was the foulest calumny.
The chair would have had no hesitation in
calling the gentleman from Kentucky in
his individual capacity to order If he had
used the words on the floor.
Messrs. Beck and Cox defended the re-
port of the minority, and excused it, claim
ing it was intended only to refer to matters
outside of the action of the House, and that
necessarily minority report must criticise
that Of the majority.
A confused discussion ensued and was
only brought to an end by Mr.. Bingham in
sisting on his objection to receiving the
minority report.
Messrs. Pollard and Stevenson appealed
to Mr.. Bingham without effect to withdraw
his objection.
Mr.. Cox moved TO suspend the rules in
order to have the minority report received.
Mr.. Banks suggested it should be on con-
dition of having all matter excluded that
was in violation Of parliamentary rules.
The Speaker declined to have the task
imposed on him Of examining the report
with that object.
Mr.. Cox did not accept Mr.. Banks sug-
gestion, but insisted on his motion 10 sus-
pend the rules.
The rules were not suspended, not two
thirds voting in favor of it.
Mr.. Banks then moved that the rules be
suspended, and the views of the minority
reed and printed with the majority report,
provided that its language is not in viola
ton of the rules of the House." Agreed to
without division.
Mr.. Garfield from the Committee on
Ways and Means, reported the deficiency
bill, and stated that it contained clause re-
pealing the law which requires United
States laws to be published in newspapers.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts,, made point
Of order that this was general legislation,
and therefore out of order.
Mr.. Garfield moved TO suspend the rules
so as to make it in order. Pending that
motion the House adjourned.
