TRAVEL TO EUROPE AND REDUCED PAssEN-
GER RATES The weekly exodous of travellers
to Europe shows no diminution. Seven siea-
mers sailed from New ork on Saturday, car
rying aggregate of 773 cabin passengers, max
ing the total for the week ,229, an increase of
272 over the previous week, 1t is said the con-
tinued large travel on ocean steamersi is slimI'-
lated by the passenger rate competition be-
tween rival lines of steamers. The steerage
passenger rates were reduced several weeks
ago, and II Is now announced that cabin pas
sengers are carried for 500 and "intermediate"
for $40 Steerage rates for Liverpool range

Radical Senators Putting Down
the Press.

In the Senate OF the United States, yesterday, |
a tremendous blow was aimed at the liberty OF
The Press. Judge Thurman and Mr.. Bayard
tried TO have the Section stricken out or amend |
ed but the Radical Senators were determined 10
put check TO correspondents and they therefore
passed the BILL after the following discussion;
STRIKING AT THE LIBERTIES OF THE PRESS.
The substitute for the House bill regulating the
removal OF cases from the State Courts 10 the
Circuit Courts of the United States.
Mr.. Thurman, (Dem., } of Ohio. moved to strike
out the eleventh section OF the bill. which author
any civil suit not affecting the title to real estate
Some debate ensued. Messrs Thurman and
Bayard, (Dem.,) OF Delaware speaking in favor
thereof, and Mr.. Conkling against 1t. The
amendment was rejected yeas Is, nays 40.
Mr. Bayard moved to amend SO as to provide
that the section should not apply to cases OF libel
or slander. In support of the amendment he
said Washington City was the great headquar-
ters for newspaper correspondents, and the Sec
ton, as proposed by the Judiciary Committee,
would permit the service upon them OF processes
as agents for publishers OF papers which they
represented. paper might be sued in the Dis
trict Of Columbia simply BY serving process on
its agent.
Mir. Wadleigh rep, oi New Hampshire, said
this was alarming legislation, and he could not
vote for any such measure. 1t offered an oppor-
tunity for great frauds upon men living in one
State and doing business in another by agents.
a man mlgnt De ruined anu not know II, for q
process could be served against him without his
knowledge Of q suit having been brought.
The amendment of Mr. Bayard was rejected
yeas 20, nays 80.
Mr.. Carpenter moved to amend the section so MS
to provide that copy of the process served on an
agent shall be actually delivered to the principal
OF such agent anywhere in the United States
Agreed to.
Mr.. Wadeigh said this bill applied TO the Dis
trict of Columbia, and he thought that very Oh
jectionable. Every one knew how the people o.
the District were influenced by the parry in
power, and how could the press OF the United
States crticse the actions Of the party having tn.
control Of the Government If it was to be tried b,
jury in the District, which must necessarily b,
largely influenced BY government. The bill
struck blow at the liberties OF the press, and ht
was opposed to it.
Mr. Hsgcr (Dem.1 Of California, moved al
amendment TO eleventh section SO as to proyd
that one of the parties TO the suit should be resi-
dent within the Jurisdiction of the court where th
suit is brought
Mr.. Carpenter opposed the amendment, am
said that under the present law a man could fol
low another 10 any State and sue him in the Stat
court This bill only proposed to confer simila
jurisdiction in the United States Court in III
district where the principal agent resides.
The amendment of Mr.. llagar was neeatyeS
The bill was then read third time and pass

himself in a small shanty, about ten feet long
by ELY vide, which was erected for him through
the kindness Of some OF the members Of the

haunts since FRIDAY aroused the attention of
the residents OF the vicinity, who Informed

broke open the window and entered. There he
found the body OF the old man stretched on a
sort OF q cot in one corner OF the room, W IN the
race and hands slightly eaten by rats. Al
though the room was in great confusion it
seemed clear that he died a natural death.
Both the door and window Was fastened on the
inside, and there were no indications Of yiO-
lence. Besides the cot, an old stove, AMI A
small bench, there was an indescrIbable cOllec-
ton OF old junk In the wretched apartment.
