mittee and ratified by the board of directors,
only on the assurance. OF Stockwell that the
contemplated expenditure would would not
exceed SIC, 900, and was to be only for coun
sci fees andother legitimate expenses
In the House, Dawes, of the ways and
means committee, reported the refusal OF H.
b. Irwin to answer questions asked him by
the committee respecting the distribution of
$3.50, 600 received from the Pacific Mail Com
pany to aid in procuring additional subsidy
for the China mail service. The report of
Twins examination was read, and Dawes
moved its adoption, in order that the Speak
er might issue his warrant for the arrest of
Irwin for contempt and supported his mo-
ton in speech, asserting that the testimony
has brought this money to the very doors of
| Congress. Though he Urwin) did not pay it
to any Congressman, he left the plain infer
cnce that the subsidy was procured by the
expenditure of this sum of money, and the
charge lay at the door of every member who
voted for or omitted to vote against the bill
The duty of the House is to repel this infer
ence.
A long discussion ensued as to the power
of the House to punish for contempt Ste
phens and Gen. Butler Argued that as the
law provides for the punishment of recu-
| SAINT witness by sending him for trial before
court and jury of the District of Columbia,
the House had no other power in the matter.
They denied that there was in this country
any such thing as parliamentary common
law, and claimed the constitutional right of
a citizen to be tried by court and jury.
Dawes, Kasson, Beck and Lawrence ar
gued the right and power of Congress to
punish recusant witness with fine and i'm
prisonment. While Lawrence was speaking,
Beck announced that he had Just been in
formed that Irwin was no longer in The GUS
| tody of the Sergeant at Arms, and that he
was preparing to leave Washington. The
announcement created some excitement, but
the discussion continued. AT its close, Dawes
motion was agreed to.
Plot for the Assassination of Bismarck.
BERLIN, December 22.-The North German
Gazette publishes the following: "In Septem-
Der, 1878, the French Archbishop received
an anonymous letter, the writer offering to
kill Bismarck for $4,000 Qrancs?). In a
second letter the writer gave his photograph
and gave his name and address as follows:
Duchense Poncelct Rue Leopard The
Archbishop communicated the letters to the
French government, which informed Bis
marck. POncclet, who was found and iden-
tilted as a wOrkmcn, was watched 1t was
asccrtaincd that he was preparing to go to
Germany, but becoming aware of police sur
VIGILANCE, gave up his intention. The COM
munication was not written by Poncelet, but
by one of his fcllow-workmen, who is sup
posed to have been confederate.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
A Short POstpOnement of the Fifth
GIFT Concert.

| AS manager of the gift concert given in aid
of the Public Library of Kentucky my po-
sition creates an important trust in behalf of
the Public Library and the ticket holders of
the fifth gift concert. The Public Library of
| Kentucky and the ticketholders are Jointly
interested in the amount of the drawing.
The larger the funds to be distributed in
gifts the greater will be the gift awarded to
each lucky ticket holder and the more the
amount realized by the Library. TO have a
full drawing is so manifestly to the interest
of those interested that, rather than have a
fractional drawing on the Both inst, deem
it due to.the trust contided to me by the
tcket-holders and the Public Library of
Kentucky, that short postponement be
made to enable me to dispose of the unsold
tickets and have full drawing. Though
the very large amount now in bank would
enable us to distribute handsome gifts, yet we
ohould feel disappointed in this our last con-
cert should we be compelled to make q
fractional drawing, however large.
We have received so very large a number
| of letters from all parts of the country from
those most largely interested, urging post.
poncment if all the tickets be not sold by
the Both, that we feel strengthened in our
sense of duty to the ticket holders and the
Public Library, to make the postponement
Under the circumstances, we have determined
in the interest of all parties, to postpone the
concert and drawing to Saturday, February
81, 1915, at which time the drawing will
positively take place, and as a guarantee of
good faith toward ticket holders, we pledge
ourselves to refund to any ticket-holder his
money, upon presentation of his ticket
should the drawing fail to come off at the
day now fixed. The past, we feel assured
will be sufficient guarantee to all interested
that they will be fairly and honestly dealt
with. The money paid for tickets is sacredly
preserved against all contingencies until after
the payment of the gifts, after which the ex-
penses are to be reimbursed and the Public
Library is to be paid its profits

sherman on Finance.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-On motion of
Sherman the Senate proceeded to consider
the bill to provide for the resumption of
specie payments.
Sherman disclaimcd any purpose to open
the financial debate of last year, but assured
the Senate that every word and line of the
bill tended toward the announcement in its
title. He then explained the bill. He said
the first section, providing for the redemp-
ton of fractional currency, met the approval
of both the Secretary of the Treasury and
tho President. The second, making a charge
for coinage at the U. s. minis, required a
sacrifice on the part of the Government to the
extent of $95, 900 aycar The third section
provided for free banking 1t was now
virtually free in some of the Western and
Southern States, but in the great commercial
States it was not free. This free banking
section provided for an enlargement of the
volume of currency in case the business of
the country demanded it, 1t also proposed
the release of U. S. notes to the extent of 80
per cent. of the amount of new bank notes
issued The section did not propose either
contraction or expansion Of the currency,
leaving this to be governed by the business
wants of the country. This bill also pro-
vides for means to maintain and provide for
specie resumption. No one doubted that if
the bill became a law specie payments would
be resumed by the 1st of January, 1879.

vote than just this vender of vinegar

good man for candidate, and besides
there is some degree of propriety in put

says Of the Republican candidate Tor
State treasurer:
"One Of the worst features of the po-
litical campaign this year 10 the "uira-
seous and co~ardiy attack made by the
OPPOSITION press upon Hon. Sam. Lap
Din, Reprplicau candidate fer the posi-
ZION of State treasurer. In the begin
ming of the campaign We rpose very
highly of him, q We believed him To be
All honarabo man, every way worthy OF

vituperalion the charges OF Dishonesty
and trickery fell thick and fast, and car
ried with them slch show of truth that
we were constrained t. believe them,
ani resolved to Withdraw orr support
if the charges were not proved untrue.
We went TO worE TO ind proof OF Mr..
Lappins dishonesty, inquired OF his en-
cmies as well AS Of his friends, and did
ali in our power to get at the facts. The
rcsal. Of that investigation, instead OF
being damaging to Mr.. l.. is in every
way favorable TO him, End has -re-estab-
