In the House Tuesday, Maynard's cur
rency bill was passed, yeas 128, NAYS
ll6. The Senate bill to amend the ma
tional currency acts and to establish
free banking was passed by a vote of
140 to l02. The status of the whole
question now is that while the House
bill has to await the action of the Sen
ate, which may or may not be favorable.
or may be delayed indefinitely, the Sen.
ate bill goes directly to the President
for his signature. 1t appears from cal
culations made by the Controller of the
Currency, that the provision in the Sen.
ate bill, regulating the reserve to be
kept at home, will really operate as a
measure Of immediate contraction. almost
equal to the increased currency provided
for in the bill. The infationists are
much worried by this. The MAYNARD
bill will largely increase the volume Of
currency, and Its only restrictive proyis.
ion is redemption clause.

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.

Among the important measures pend
ing before the present congress, is bill
having for its object the regulation of
Interstate commerce, or the adjustment
of the rates Of passenger and freight tar
if on railroads. The provisions Of the
bill require the appointment of nine rail-
read commissioners, by the President
and Senate said commissioners to be
selected-one from each of the nine ju-
dicial districts Of the United States, and
to be chosen from among those who are
not pccuniarily interested in railroads.
The duties Of the commissioners will be
to investigate the condition Of all rail-
roads, and to prepare a schedule Of tariffs
which shall be binding upon the roads.
Any person or corporation charging more
than schedule prices, or making any ex-
tortion or discrimination, viii be sub
jected TO heavy fines. The commission
ers are not required to make uniform
prices on all roads, but to so adjust tar
ifs as to make them 'just and fair,
length of roads, location, and other cir
cumstances taken into consideration.
The bill presupposes that congress has q
right to regulate commerce between
states, as is stipulated in the Constitu-
ton. and as is just. 1t has become an
axiom, that corporations have no souls,
and it is almost as true that whenever a
corporation becomes powerful and veal
thy, it becomes a monopoly hence rail
road corporations are monopoHes.
On account of the cost of railroads,
and the impracticability of building
close parallel lines, it is not often that
competing lines are found, except to and
from the great cities, so that the small
er towns, and the rural sections Of the
country have but one railroad upon which
to depend.
This leaves a great majority of the
patrons of many roads at the complete
mercy of class of avaricious railroad
managers, who are more anxious to lear1
Just how high tariffs can be raised, ant
not be entirely prohibitory, than to s,
regulate carrying prices so as to max
the working of the roads profitable, Will
this generous course builds up and en-
ccurages business along their whole lin
Of road. There is nothing just in tn
practice of making local and way bus
ness pay dividends, while through bus
ness is done at cost and it is to remed
this evil, among others, that congress
called upon to make laws regulatin
freight traffic. 1t is impossible for Stat
Legislatures to remedy the evils, for I
one State can legislate for another, an
as most roads have connections beyon
the limits of one state, there would be
conflict of interest and of laws. makir
this plan impossible. But the gener
government, through its agents, can i
vestigate the whole matter of railro;
transportation, and assume such a co
trolling influence as to break down mo
opolies, put an end to extortions al

people and the railroads justice in IL
important interest.

A WoMAN's TRIBUTE TO MEN's
CLOTHES. covering of mems feet
is admirably adapted to protection from
cold and damp, two great sources of dis
ease. The soles of their boots arc broad
enough to allow the foot to expand, as
nature designed it should, when pressed
upon by the weight of the body, and
the toes are wide enough to allow them
to rest upon the sole separately, so pro-
ducing the elastic rebound which enables
one to walk without fatigue. The nice
ly fitting pants, that permit such free
dom of movement of the lower limbs :;
the snug vests, that keep uniform
warmth of the chest, and the little sacque
coat that, while finishing the toilet, so
little inconvenience the wearer, and
the oVercoat that is so easily removed
when the temperature renders it unnec-
essary, are all beautifully adapted to
their legitimate uses.-Dr. Mercy B.

The Sumner memorial meeting at
Faneuil Hall, Tuesday, under the aus
pices of the colored citizens of Boston,
was most impressive and successful.
In the large audience and upon the plat
form were many familiar leaders in the
old contests. but the spirit of the meet
ing was that of personal reverence and
gratitude, from the race which looked
upon Mr.. Sumner as its special advocate
and benefactor. The grafton of Mr..
Elliott was mainly a tribute to his anti
slavery labors. and presented the salient
points in his career with earnest and
effective eloquence. Among the innum-
cradle eulogies of MIR. Sumner, spoken
or written, this one will hold no mean
place.

MIR. Bergh has come to the defence of
prosecuted dogs. He opposes muzzling
of these animals and the destruction of
those found unmuzzled, as suggested by
an ordinance just introduced by New
York Alderman. This is objected to
on the ground that as the dog perspires
through his mouth, his skin having no
pores, to muzzle him is the height of
cruelty; moreover, the proposed system
of rewards would only bring dogs into
the city, and demoralize the boys who
would thus be tempted into this business.
Hydrophobia is SO rare, according to
Mr.. Bergh, that no measures of this
kind are needed to prevent its disas-
trous effects upon human beings.

Sensible Girl.

The indianapolis Journal pays this
compliment to Miss Stewart, recently
married at Washington in the house
of her father, the Nevada Senator:
In these days of foolish display
good word must be said of Miss Stew
art, daughter of Senator Stewart, who
was married in Washington lately.
To begin with, the bride is said to be
one of the most sensible, as we'll
as beautiful young ladies in Wash
ington. She sews, cooks, mar
kets for the family, and is versed in
every useful accomplishment. Her
wedding cards, eschewing the silly
custom of the times, had no mono
gram. The wedding was in her faith
ers house at any early hour, and fol-
lowed by good, old-fashioned dance.
There was but one bridesmaid, the
BRIDES sister. The bridal Trousseau
was purchased entirely in Washing
ton. and every article of it made at
home, under the personal supervision
of the bride and her mother Finally
the newly welded couple do not make
"tour," but settle down at once to
.common-sense happiness. All this is
refreshing.

Intellectual Attempt to Steal Valuable Horses.
+. ON the San Diego World. June 9Th

F.om the San Diego World, June 9th.
LAS FLORES, June 6th.--About
o'clock this morning three men made
all attempt to take the horses
from the stable at the Santa
Margarita ranch. One of the robbers
dismounted outside the stable and
went in to take the horses out, leaving
his horse with his companions, but the
three valuable teams were running
loose in the stable lot, and after trying
about half an hour to catch the horses
he gave it up, they being SO excited he
could not approach them. During all
this time three Indians were sleeping
on the hay stack. They observed him,
but were afraid to give the alarm.
The robber, after finding it impossible
to catch the horses, walked round the
stack and noticed some of the Indians
lying there. He then walked out and
mounted his horse, and they rode in
the direction of San Luis Rey. They
have not been heard of since. If the
Indians on the stack had given the
alarm, the robbers would undoubtedly
have been caught, for there were ten
men well armed at the house at the
time.

woman in that quarter of the city, who
lives alone with her daughter, about

make the girl an angel, and thrusting
out her hand, grasped the daughter by
the lower jaw. Both fell to the ground,
the mother weighing $50 pounds, up
permost, with her knees fairly in-
planted in the girls stomach. The
struggle was one for life for the ma
MAC grasped her daughters tongue,
endeavoring to pull it out, and also to
break her jaw, and pounded her head
with the Gisengaged hand. The loud
screams of the poor girl aroused the
neighbors, who rushed in and dragged
off the manaic, tying her to the bed
stead with rope. Mrs. Hill is to be
carried to the insane hospital, and the
daughters under the charge of physi-
clans, her mouth being badly torn,
and having sustained many severe
flesh bruises and a sprained wrist.

with his bees. He had eight swarms
of bees on the first of March last, and
now he has sixUy-five swarms-an in
crease of tifty-seven swarms in three

lieve that the information given us of
the death of Mr.. II. c. Covert, of Santa

Covert has not been in Santa Barbara.
Letters dated at San Francisco have

His health is much improved, and we
