INTERVIEWING THE PRESIDENT
sr0kEs, CASE BEFORE GRAND JURY
SMALL SHAKES Of AN EARTHQUAKE
CONGRESS-.

Coinage Bill RecOmmitted-Clarke, of
Texas. Sented-Bill Adverse to Civil
Service Bili-Japanese at West Point
Inquiry About Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road.
WASHINGTON, January 10-House.-The
coinage bill was recommitted after long
discussion.
General W. T. Clarke (Republican), from
the third Texas district, took his seat on q
vote of l02 to 79.
The House then took up the contested
election case from the third district of
Texas.
The report of the Committee on Elections
being that M. T. Clark had the prima facie
right to the seat, and should be sworn in
without prejudice to any contestant, and
the minority report being that ID. c. Gid
dings is entitled to the seat, the question
turns on the Interpretation to be given to
the certificate of the Governor, who, while
certifying that Clark was duly elected, adds
that in his opinion the numerous irregulari-
ties and instances of fraud and violence
during the election would rather warrant a
new election than the giving of q certificate
to either party.
Mr.. HOar, who made the report from the
Committee of Elections, proceeded to argue
the matter in its support.
Mr.. Farnsworth moved to recOmmit the
whole case to the committee, to be decided
on its merits and after several speeches
for and against the report of the committee,
Farnsworth's motion was rejected-yeas
81, nays l0l only five Republicans voting
yea. namely: Beatty, Bingham, Farms
worth, Garfield and Hay.
The resolution for the admission Of Clark
was adopted-y as l02. nays 79-and Clark
psesented himself and was sworn in as a
member.
.Scnate-Mr. Carpenter introduced a bill
adverse to the civil service bill. to the effect
that any regulation relieving the executive
from the responsibility Tor appointments
imposed upon him was a violation Of the
constitution.
The bill admitting six japanese youths to
West Point, after long discussion, went
over.
Mr.. Logan offered a resolution, which was
adopted, requesting the'Secretary of the In
terror to inform the Senate whether the
railway from the mouth Of the Ohio river to
Mobile has been constructed as cOntem-
plated by the act of 1850, donating lands to
facilitate its construction, and if not what
steps have been taken to complete it.

Wished to Go Back.

A delegation from the Citizens Associa-
ton yesterday waited on Governor War
moth, principally to inquire if the Demo
cratic members would be permitted to re-
turn to their seats. The answer of the
Governor was that he had nothing to do
with the matter, but knew no reason why
they would not take their seats; had never
known why they had left their places, as
there had been no objection TO them. This
response seemed tolerably satisfactory, but
was not all they wanted. Gould Mr.. Car
ter returna" A bystander answered by
asking question:: lis not Mr.. Carter a fu

delegation of colored men called on the
President in behalf of the pending supple
mental civil rights bill. The President
remarked that he thought, although some OF
the rights which they had claim to under
the recent amendments to the constitution
were withheld still the courts of law would
accord all legal privileges. He considered
that, pending the supplementary civil rights
bill, amnesty measures would jeopardize
the passage of the latter, and in that re
spect it would be unfortunate. The former
he thought, from his knowledge of it, would
pass ON its merit as a separate and distinc,
measure.

nuence and expended their talents in writing
resolutions against the license taxes i'm
posed to aid in defraying tue public ex-
penses a letter from Hon Robert II. Shan
non, United States Commissioner and conn
selIor at law. addressed TO the committee
was read Dr. Shannon offered his services
to test the question ofthe license tax, free of
charge unless after the settlement Of the
question they might consider him entitled
to some compensation. and then they might
give what they thought proper.
The communication was received and
tabled for further conSidera ton, Mr. How
ard expressing the opinion that they were
not ready to proceed to litigation.
The gentlemen who composed and direct
ed this meeting may not be aware that
they lost the golden opportunity 10 secure
the services OF one OF the most inttuentia
men of the times. They could not have
been aware that when Judge shannon was
at New York last year, MS in
strumentality and influence were poten
tial in breaking the Tammany ring;
nor could they have been aware
that during the absence of the same gentle
man recently, his influence was more poten-
tial than that of General Sickles in smash
ing the Erie combination, deposing Jay
Gould and substituting General Dix as the
president of Erie. By all means, Messrs.
Smallw ood and Bovee should hasten to re-
trace their action. and make bargain with
Judge Shannon to test the constitutionality
Of license and all other laws enacted i'll this
State.

The Wyndham Company at the ST. Charles
Theatre.

The first appearance Of this celebrated
combination OF fine artists is announced for
tomorrow, in their well known and popular
speciality of "The Lancers." The piece has
been made familiar here by them, and
Wyndhans dashing performance of JoH-
cuur, the Luncer, ranks as highly with our
public as that of the best known stars. Be-
sides most of the old favorltes of last seasons
troupe, Mr.. Wyndham will present to us
some new importations, Of whom report
speaks in the highest terms, so that we may
look to find even more dash and finish in
these charming representations than hereto
fore. In an address circulated through the
city. Mr.. Wyndham remarks on the recogni-
ton by the American public of the high
talents of his company, and compares the
position they hold here among the appre-
ciative public to that enjoyed by the
far-famed troupe Of the Theatre Francais of
Paris. This boast has been fully justified
by his past success and by the undoubted
improvement in the personnel and selection
of the present company. Our people must
feel grateful for the delight afforded them
by the exquisite performances of elegant
comedy on several occasions by Mr. Wynd-
ham and his company, and, after the recent
dearth of4irst class thea trical excitements,
will doubtless, show their welcome in a
substantial manner

This is from the Baltimore american:

A marked reaction seems to have taken
place IL regard to iron and wooden ships.
few years ago 1t was taken for granted
by the great majority of those who have to
do with ships that those built Of wood were.
to employ phrase more expressive than
elegant. 'played out" and that the time
was rapidly approaching when none but
iron ships would be employed. Bur: as We
have already remarked. this Judgment ap-
pears to be in process of reversal New
castle (England) Journal has the following
on this point There is q considerable de
mand for wooden built ships, and owners
who three or four years ago imagined that
they We're going to he entlrely ruined nOw
hold on and won't sell. Some hundreds of
pounds more may be had for first-c!ass
property of this kind than ever was imag-
med would be the case. Within the past
few years very large number Of Liverpool
ships, of the Marco Polo class, vessels of
great emnence in their day as Australian
and East Indian clipper ships, have been
purchased by Tyne owners. Three or four
wears ago, these vessels having been taken
off the letter, We're lying in the Liverpool
docks for sale, and were to be had at very
moderate prices. They have been all
bought up mostly by our people, and have
turned out for them tirst-class property
better than irOn-screw steamers in many
respects. They cost a deal less money than
screws, and take very little to maintain
them.
