used for carrying passengers by railroad.
The New York Yacht Club, in New
York, Thursday elected James Gordon
Bennett Commodore. 1t is stated that
the annual regatta viii take place on
the fifth of June.
Some startling disclosures have been
made respecting fires in Brooklyn,
through the arrest of an incendiary and
his accomplices, by which it has been
proven that a regular system of arson
has been going on in that city.
Advices report that Speaker Blaine
will unquestionably be reelected in the
event of Congress assembling on the
fourth of March. There is no candi-
date mentioned who could command
anything like a respectable support in
opposition to Mr.. Blaine.
Dispatches from Harrisburg, Pennsyl-
vania, says that the Susquehanna river
is still ice-bound. At Williamsport the
river has risen three feet since yesterday,
at Chickie's fifteen inches, and at Co
lumbia ten inches. No damage is APP
pretended, as the ice is stationary.
The books Of the syndicate closed
Yesterday, both here and in Europe, fol
city subscriptions, but all orders from

In explanation of the recent operation
in Western Union stock, it is said thai
! the recent sale offifteen thousand shares
by one of the Executive Committee
which was made to consummate th'
| bargain in the purchase of the Cubar
| telegraphie cable, was mistakenly re
garded by Pool as a speculative transac
| ton, and continued to be so regarded
until the Executive Committee was sane
| toned by Hon. VIM. OrtOn, President
| in the matter, by whose direction three
fifths of the Cuban Cable Company wer
thus secured, and an acquisition mad
to the Western Union Company whicl
is of great advantage.

Special 10 the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, February THE House
had lively time to-day over a contu-
macious witness. The committee on the
investigation of the outstanding State
liabilities reported to the House that one
of the witnesses summoned by it had
refused to answer the questions put to
him, and asked that he be punished for
contumacy. Captain John Foster, a
clerk in the office Of Captain Ryan,
Deputy-Assessor of Internal Revenue,
is the man referred to by the commit
tee, and a motion to place him under
arrest until he answer met with a vigor-
Gus opposition from his friends. Fos-
ter is Bowen Republican, and
the Dorsey Rep-,hryans were deter
mined that he should answer for his
contempt, while the Bowen wing OF
the party fought long and hard to keep
their friend out Of the hands of the Ser
geant-at-Arms. The Dorsey men, after
seven hours hot debate, carried theiI
point, and Foster is now in arrest, and
viii be brought before the House to-
morrow, to answer the charge of con-
tempt. Captain Foster has lived here
or three years, and was formerly g
clerk in the State land office, but for the
last four months has been acting as clerk
for the United States Assessor Of Inter.
nal Revenue.
In the Senate but little was done be.
yond the passage of Mr.. DawsOn's negro
civil rights bill. 1t imposes heavy pen
alties upon railroads, steamboats,, hotels
etc, for refusal to accommodate negroes
equally with whites.
The absorbing question just now is a;
to who will play Oakes Ames in tht
Credit Mcbilier, jr., now about being pro
duced before our Lawmakers. Two o.
three parties have been suggested, bu
whether they are "heavy" enough hai
not been decided.

other dealings between Blaine and the
Coburns.
Judge Poland-Well, we can't allow
any INQUIRY as to other dealings.
MIR. Stevenson had nothing else to
ask.
Mr.. Blaine-Then desire to put Mr..
Stevenson on the stand; he testified be-
fore that his motive in introducing the
resolution was TO catch the Speaker.
Now, would like TO show the animus
he had in introducing that resolution,
and if his relations with the Speaker
were friendly.
Judge Poland--Well, we must decline
to go into question.
Mr.. Blaine-But I want to show what
backed Mr.. Stevenson in introducing
his resolution, the animus in doing so,
and why he wanted TO catch the
Speaker.
Mr.. Stevenson very excitedly)-I
have rights here, l wish it understood,
as well as the Speaker.
Judge Poland--Well, this contest
must stop here.
Mr.. Stevenson-The Speaker said in
the House the other day that the mem
bers must be loyal to the Speaker.

must stop.
Mr.. McCrary langhingly to Blaine
Oh, certainly; blowing to Judge Po-
land) believe in being loyal to the
Speaker, as Mr.. Stevenson says.
Mr.. Stevenson asked that Mr.. Coburn,
of Maine, be summoned.
Judge Poland thought the testimony
already in covered .all the points as to
the transaction between Mr.. Blaine and
themselves.
Mr.. StevensOn-My recent experience
teaches me not to rely on the word OF
any man.
Mr.. Blaine-That experience is so
near home to you that you ought to rely
on it. Lsughter.l
Mr.. Blaine, addressing the commit
tee, said If it is in the mind of any
member of the committee to ask me
any questions / hope they will be
asked, as / have not the remotest
shadow of a shade Of reluctance to an
swering all; the matter between myself
and Messrs. COburn was a plain,
straight business transaction as [ re-
lated the other day, and have nothing
in the world to conceal in regard to it.
Judge Poland announced that no
further witnesses would be examined
to-day, and the committee, at one
O'Clock, went into secret session. They
then adjourned until ten o'clock to-

HANGED.

PEORIA, ILL, February Henry
McNulty, who murdered his wife, was
hanged in the jail-yard in this city at
one o'clock to-day. He spoke for ovel
three-quarters of an hour, protesting his
innocense and asserting that some OF
the witnesses for the prosecution had
sworn falsely against him. The execu-
ton was witnessed by about one hun
dred persons. Largo crowds were out
side the Jail, but their curiosity remained
unsatisfied. The body was cut down in
