WASHINGTON.
General News Summary.

WASHINGTON, February 22.-The
Washington Rspubhcan this morning,
in the course of an editorial on the
Senate debate, has the following Ian
guare: MANY office-holders have be-
come corrupted with the prevalent
cant of the party, and need whipping
back into the traces. 1t ls notorious
that persons favored with the conf
dence and best gifts Of the Administra-
ton have been decidedly shaky in their
allegiance to the Republican organIza-
ton that has made these iugrates so tat
that they have kicked off all discipline.
We are patient, have suffered long, and
believe 10 the largest liberty; tut there
must be limit TO all things, and men
sustaining the detection OF such
course as Sumner Il Co. must choose
whom they intend TO serve. Treason
to party cannot be permitted among
men holding place right here under
the shadow of the Capitol. Cool ma
ture and sufierance toward such men
is the mercst imbecility, and cannot be
longer admitted as wisdom. Men can
change coats no longer easy and COM
tortable, but they must not be permit
ted to wear our party uniform while
holding communication with our enc
mics.
1t is reported that the Texas Pacific
railroad is about to ask further leglsla-
tion from Congress.
The rumors regarding Gen. Banks
going on a foreign mission has taken a
new shape. 1t is now stated that he
goes to St. Petersburg. Careful inquiry
leads to the belief that he is certainly
preferring to accept some responsible
position under the Government either
at home or abroad.
Official information has been received
here to the effect that the English Gov
ernment has resolved not to go into the
Geneva conference unless the American
claim for indirect damages shall have
previously been withdrawn. Hon. Chas.
Francis Adams arrived in this city this
morning and is stopping at the Arlng-
ton House. Although not summoned
to Washington in relation to the Ala.
bama claims, he comes to lay before the
Secretary of State such information
touching that subject as he gathered in
London and which he deems may be OF
interest to the Government He states
that he was in Naples when letters
reached him which induced him to re-
turn home solely on private business.
Till he reached Geneva he was una
ware of the new controversy with refer
ence to the Alabama claims matter.
Governor Smith, of Georgia, has
issued proclamation recallingthe order
OF Ex-Governor Carley, seizing the Car.
tersville and Van Vert railroad and
placing it in the hands ofa receiver for
the benefit of Messrs. Clews 4 Co., the
bondholdsrs.

COunt De ChambOrd.

ANTWERP, February 22-The cx-
King Of Hanover, representing the in
terests of the Ultra Orleanists OF
Germany is now on visit to Count de
Chambord. The precise nature Of his
mission is not known,
Count de Chambord tonight enter
tained a delegation of Legitimists, who
arrived here on the 18th inst, for the
purpose Of obtaining his sanction to the
fusion of the Orleanists and Legitimist g
interests, by a grand reception and din
ner in honor OF the proposed scheme.
There was also present a large number
of prominent Legitimists OF this city,
and the residence Of the Count was
filled with the friends OF the movement.
After dinner wine was circulated and a
number Of toasts given and responded
to, among which were Count de Cham
bord, King OF France and the "Resto-
ration OF the Power of the Pope. The
reception was most cordial in its char
acter and much feeling was evinced for
the success OF the fusion OF the Orlean-
lists and Legitimists.
The civil authorities of this city have
petitioned the Belgian government to
expel Count de Chambord from the
city, claiming that his presence here
has been the source Of serious disturb
ances and that the various intrIgues in
which he and his adherent5 are en-
gagged may possibly create further
trouble

The Rolling Mills of Pittsburgh.

From the American Manufactured.
The first attempt at making bar iron
in Pittsburgh occurred 1913. The mill
was intended to furnish iron partIcu
larly for the hardware trade. 1t was
operated with Indifferent success until
lS45, when it gave way to q pressure OF
circumstances, anl was suspended. \
second mill was put in operation in
1919, and operated until 1929, when it
was discontinued. In 1925 three mills
were put in notion and from that time
TO the present, twentv.six have been
erected, making twentynine, all Of
which, except one OF the first, are still
in operation.
The capacity of these mills has been
continually increased, so that one OF
them is now able to do as much work
in one week a. a half dozen were at
first able to do in three months. The
machinery employed in them at this
date, as having been estimated al the
close OF 1871, may be set down as toI-
lows:

Sentence of n Murderer.

NASHVILLE, February 22.-A SEN
tence of death was yesterday pro-
nouuced upon Calvin Logsden, in the
Supreme Court, by Judge Turner. 1t
is to be carried into effect on the fifth
day of April, near jamestown, the
county seat of Bertress county. This
is the third death sentence that has
been passed on him, two being in the
lower courts from which he appealed.
He is charged with the horrible murder
of aa old lady, Mrs. Galloway, her
daughter and a three year old grand
child. The murderer had also at.
tempted to kill, and did leave for dead,
James Galloway, seven years old, who
revived and identified Logsden as the
murderer, and upon his testimony he
was convicted. He is nearly twenty
one years old. After being sentenced
he wrote the following:
To the Honorable Supreme Court in SIS.
sion:
state, from the fact | am laboring
under severe cold, couli not hear
the sentence passed upon me by your
Honor, and only desire to say to the
Court that am innocent OF the charges.
| lett the neighborhood OF the unfor,
tunate occurrence on Tuesday, two days
befo re it was charged that murder
was perpetrated. ldesired to say this
much TO the Court, and shall die, if |
must, free Of any stain of blood, for
could have no motive to have killed
the parties. Neither do | know who
did kill them, and the proof that | con
fessed to killing is false. A stranger in
this country, some one did the killing
and it was an easy matter to single me,
a single man and a stranger, ont, and
hence the conspiracy TO make the proof
on me.
Respectfully submitted,
CALVIN LoGsDEN.

to pay tax upon his horse or COW to the
last cent. The man who buys farm
TOR $1,000 and pays nothing down, but
gives his bond bearing interest from
date, the vender retaining a lien on the
purchase money, without a dollar
and really paying q rent to the
grantor in the shape OF interest Tor the
use Of the farm, has to pay tax upon
the two thousand dollars, when in fact
he is really not worth one cent.
This exemption 10 the producer of the
products of his farm remaining on hand
is, as | have shown, q delusion 10 the
poor man for he has no products TO ex-
empt. He may have calf or two, or
a few sheep and hogs, worth but very
trifling amount, while the rich man $
thousands are exempt. Sir, this propo-
sition is specious, aud deception prac-
ticed upon the poor man. You allure
him with an apple OF the Dead Sea
while you are taking oranges from his
pocket.
Mr.. Chairman, | know it is much
easier to point ont defects and inconsis.
tencies than TO remedy them. Some,
perhaps. we cannot remedy, but we can
DO our best 10 make taxation as equal
and uniform as possible so that lis
burthens will ;all on all alike, rich and
poor; therefore hope it may be the
pleasure of the committee 10 adopt the
amendment.

No men or set Of men is entitled to ex-
elusive, separate emoluments and priv
ileges or immunities from the govern
ment, but in consideration of public
services and any laws destructive OF
these Fundamental principles are
without moral binding force

viding a purely national circulating me-
dunn based on the faith and resources
of the nation without interference Of

inal contract as soon as possible.

Government should be so adjusted as to
bear equally on all classes.

United States belong to the people and
should not be sold to individuals or to
corporations but held for the benefit Of
landless settlers in amounts not exceed
ing 100 acres.

the tariff 80 as 10 admit free such arti-
cles as we cannot produce, but lay du.
ties on articles Of luxury and such artl-
cles of manufacture as we, having raw
materials in abundance, will assist in
further developing the resources Of the
country.
The sixth recites that Chinese labor
in the United States is an evil, and
should be prohibited by legislation.
"The seventh asks for the enactment
of law by which mechanics and la
borers employed by government con-
tractors shall not be compelled 10 per-
form more than eight hours labor per
day.

during the progress OF the war instead
of levying the debt in time Of prosper
ity. :,
"The eleventh calls for Congressional
legislation to prevent eXorbitant
charges by railroads and telegraphs.
The twelfth declares in favor Of
the right Of civil service reform.
The thirteenth declares in favor OF
the one term principle.

of amnesty and equality of rights and
privileges. :,
