The memorial OF the creditors OF the District
OF Columbia presented in the House to-day By
Hon. Lymsn X. Bass, OF New York, presents
very foTcibly the injustice and the hardships
inflicted by the legislation of Congress upon
those who were compelled 10 accept the Dis
tTiet evidences OF Indebtedness in payment OF
their dues. IL was the opinion and belief of
the Joint Investigating Committee that the
5.G5 bonds would have an immediate value OF
g. to S. cents. They are in fact now selling at q
20 6 cents. The legal consequences OF the &C
tion OF Congress IN regard to the obligation of
the certificates Of the Board of Audit and the
inyalldity OF all guarantees for the care and
preservation OF Improvements for q term OF
years, are clearly set forth in this memorial
The signers ask for an increase Of the rate of
interest to four per cent. in coin, and the per-
lection OF the guarantee clause. This Is in sup
PORT OF the recommends alton of tie Sinking
Fund and District Commissioners whose re-
quests are embodied in Gen. CLipman,s bill to
declare the present rate CT interest payable In
gold. There is also notice to Tie effect that If
this relief be not given, Congress may soon
have the alternative 10 appropriate money to
pay Judgments against the District. And il Is
significant 20 add that Judge wylie, in his
decision Monday in the Blumenberg certif-
Gates cases, incidentally decided this very point
20 wit: that the certificates of the Board of Audit

Railroad Legislation.

The Augusta correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Journal makes mention OF anticipated
railroad movements in the coming lcgisla.
ture as follows;
The efforts Of previous sessions to have
a General Railroad law enacted will be re-
newed. Some such a law as was drafted
by Governor Dingley last winter will form
the groundwork of the proposed measure
renewal OF the railroad war Of last
winter is predicted, but we fail to discover
at present signs Of any struggle
Ii is understood that the memorial pre-,
scented during the last season relating to a
forced connection on the part of the Bos.
ton and Maine Railroad with the Maine
Central viii come up for consideration al
an early period Of the session.
An effort will be made to extend tn,
Georges Valley Railroad.
| Last winter an order was introduced pro
| viding for the repeal Of the charter which
| the same Legislature had given for rail
road from Bath to Portland. This order
will come up as part of the unfinished
| business Of last winters Sc ssion.
The Maine Central will ask for the RICH
to extend and maintain its new road from
| Benton TO Waterville, and from Water
vile across the kennebec river northerl,
to connect with its track on the east sid
of the river
The Somerset Railroad Company vii
ask. for an extension Of their line iron
bingham to the northerly line OF the Stat
to connect with the proposed Lewis an
kennebec Railway.
The somerset Il kcnnebec Railroa,
Company. which is leased TO the Main
Central, will apply for authority to chang
its road between kendalf> Mills an
Winslow.
A charter Will be asked for a railroa
between Bangor and Portland, which, it
said has in view Il connection with tn
Boston & Maine.
The Passadumkeag Railroad Compan
will ask for the right to extend their roa
westerly TO connect with the Penobsc(
and Lake Megantic Railroad Compan
will ask for an extension of time with
which to complete the location Of the
road.
The Bangor and Calais Shore Line Con
pany will apply for permission TO bridg
the Penobscot at Bucksport. This propt
sition will undoubtedly cause struggl,
as there is u movement to have the roa
connect with the proposed Bucksport an
Bangor road, and not make Bucksport il
terminus at this end, or permit it to col
meet with any other road on the west sid
of the Ppnobscot

to that section. Ii SAYS. under date OF
Jan. first
This afternoon about four o'clock, the
body OF Il man. known here by the name
of Edmllnds, was brought to this village
having maniiestly persisted from exhaus-
ton and exposure during the previous
night He has led fer some years a Sc
cllded life in the woods some ten miles
from this village in Chapman plantation
His body was found about sunrise by a
lunberman, in the snow-dead; but not
cold He was first known in this vii
lagc three OF four wears ago; stopped
some weeks nj the hotel, then travelled
about. always carrying IN umbrella He
attended public worship habitually. and
we have an indefinite recollection that he
once or twice maie~an appointment to
lecture, but upon what subject we have
forgotten. We are told that soon after he
came here he was in receipt of large
amount Of some kind Of freight in boxes
- several tons; and that he has sold ready
made clothing.
Since he has lived in Chapman he often
visited this village. and he frequently call
ed at our Office and bought copies of the
Sunrise, was here yesterday and bought
our last three numbers, appearing weak
and very much exhausted, trembling APP
parenlly from weakness. He was seen
near night on his way home, slowly walk
ing along as if very tired He probably
sank down from inability to 60 further
and died within a half mile of his camp
where he was found. His appearance
was Away very singular, quiet and inoi-
iensiye, maxim" but little conversation
with amy one We are told that he has
said that he was once Il trader in Calais
TO others that he was once carpenter in
IIallowell, and to others that he came
here from Massachusetts. He has receiy-
ed since he has been in this vicinity, two
or three letters through the post-office,
apparently written by some person or per-
sons who knew how to direct letters We
are informed that he was unwilling that
any one should visit the camp in which
he lived
II is also said that he always had money
10 pay for what he purchased at the stores,
and was seen to have money Yesterday.
When found he had small bottle in his

sible man has been sent to take charge of
his effects at the secluded home

The Fate of n New York Belle.

From the HeraldI
When so many of the good, the beautiful
and the brave persisted by the appalling
catastrophe of the Vile du Havre, in
which 50 much courage and fortitude were
displayed by all, it seems almost invidious
TO single ont particular instances of cool
ness, heroism and resignation. There
were among the passengers on the steam
CT Mrs. Buckley, the widow of the late j
Il. Buckley, a distinguished and wealthy
citizen of New York, and her only daugh-
ter and child. Miss Marie Buckley, young
lady OF 20 years. When the collision took
place the mother and daughter and their
companion, a Miss Wagstaff, of New DIRK
mrriedly threw on some articles Of cloth
ing, took their satchels in their hands and
rushed to the deck, there only to witness
one of the most tragic scenes ever con-
celycd by the human imagination. With
the rushing waters, the sinking ship. the
tulnlllt, the confusion, the wall of distress,
the hurried PRAYER and the low murmur OF
despair they comprehended the situation
at q glance. The vessel was fast going
down, and there was mo hand to save
Though all hope had died within them,
they stood together with unsubdued cour-
age and Christian resignation, with their
hands joined, awaiting the awful moment
II was but an instant before the bow of
the ship began to sink, and then the
daughter dropped her satchel, gave her
mother a last embrace and said: Dear
mother, have courage, only little strug-
gle more, and we will meet again in
heaven No sooner were these words ut
tered than they were all ingulfed, the two
young ladies sinking to rise no more ''un-
til me sea shall give up its dead" Mrs
Buckley rose to the surface, seized some
object which enabled her by great strug-
gle to keep her head above the water till
she was finally rescued in a state of COM
plete exhaustion and taken on board the
Loeb Earn. Mrs Buckley and her daugh-
ter had spent some time in Paris in 1871
-, and were we'll known in American cir
cles None who have ever seen the daugh-
ter can forget her, for she was only to be
known to be remembered and to be loved
With rare personal beauty, ripe intelli-
gence, charming manners and lovely dis

The Chief Justiceship,

derstanding might be arrived at They
accordingly gave without hesitancv the
reason which moved them to oppose the

the President listened in apparently utter
surprise. The Senators succeeded evident
ly in giving him many facts Of which he
he had been hitherto entirely ignorant
The result OF the visit was that Grant
