HOUSE.

Mr.. Sypher ssked leave to offer =
resolution, stating that in certain Sec
tions OF the south fhe people were in q
state OF destitution, in consequence Of
the failure OF the crops, and authorizing
the President Of the United States 10
direct the Secretary of War to issue
army rslions in quantities to relieve the
sufferers in their destitutiop.
Mr.. Willard, OF Vermont, objected 10
the present consideration OF the resolu.
ton and it was referred to the Commit
tee on Education and laid over.
The House then resumed the consul
Grafton OF the civil rights bill.
Mr.. Beck, OF Kentucky, offered an
amendment TO the bill, providing that
nothing in The bill shall be construed TO
compel hotell keepers TO seat white and
colored guests at ihe came table or to
require children 10 sttenc the
schools, or require the propretors OF
the theatres to seat the races side by
side, or to provide that they shall be
buried in the came lots in ceneteriea
Mr.. Durham, o. Kentucky, addrets-
ed the House in opposition TO the bill.
The people OF Kentucky, he said, had
quietly submitted to all the laws passed
Tor the elevation Of the colored race,
although by the thirteenth amendmen,
to the Constitution they had lost mil
lions of dollars. These were subjects
for purely local legislation, and many
of them were Of private contract. The
bill overlooked the fact that there 10 Q
citizenship OF the State as well as Of the
United States. He denied the right OF
Congress to interfere 80 long as the po.
litical rights OF any citizen were not
interfered with. The people OF Ker-
lucky treat the freedmen kindly, and
accord them all their political rights
but when Congress attempts TO force
soeiaiity upon them, the tendency is TO
create . war of races. He predicted
that the bill would break up the pub
| lie schools OF Kentucky, because she

AN EXTRAVAGANT EXPRESS CON.
TRACT
From the New York Tribune

From the New YORK tribune.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The House
Committee On Expenditures in the
Treasury Department are looking into
the extraordinary and extravaganza
tract made with Adams Express Com
pany, by which the Company gets 10
cents on every 800 of bonds, bank
notes, greenbacks, and fractional cur
rency, which is partially printed in
New York and sent here to be finished
in the printing bureau of the Treasury.
The committee have discovered that in
one instance $4,000 was paid for the
carriage of a package of bonds which
could have been put IN a common-sized
satchel. When the new bonds were
sent TO the syndicate in London they
were entrusted TO the cart of a few
Treasury clerks. These bonds were
completed and ready for delivery, while
those that come from New York would
be of no value if lost or stolen, because
the faces are not printed; and yet the
Government is made to pay more to get
them from New York than it would cost
to send a company of soldiers over as
an escort for every package that is
shipped.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The Ring Men In TrOubIe-Speaker
BIaine's Action Severely Criticised.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The recent
revelations Of fraud in the administra-
ton of the district government excite
a great deal Of comment, especially
with regard to those members of Con-
gress who appear to be compromised.
The course of Speaker Blaine In the
matter is very severely criticised in cir
cles where a desire for a clearing up of
the serious charges exists. An ar
rangement, it is understood, was made
by Judge Wilson, of Indiana, last Mon
day, whereby he would be recognized
by the Speaker, to present the memo
rial sent you last night, together with a
resolution for the appointment of a
Joint select committee TO investigate
the charge. If this resolution had been
introduced it would have passed at
once, it is thought, and upon its adop-
ton by the Senate the committee would
have been organized with a member of
the House at the head. Nh. Wilson,
Notwithstanding his agreement with
the Speaker, was not recognized, and
the resolution was not introduced for
lack of an opportunity. There is a
prevailing impression that 1t will be a
misfortune to have a Senator made
chairman of the Investigating Commit
tee, as there does not seem to be among
the Republican Senators any warm de-
sire to have the charges tried,
In this connection it is but fair to
comment OH the power of the Speaker,
in such cases, as illustrated by the one
In hand. A Speaker is supposed to be
an impartial, rigid machine, governed
only by parliamentary rules, and not
subject to any other influences. On
the contrary, by long usage this officer
has been accorded from party motives
rights which make him powerful to an
extent not dreamed of by people unfa-
miliar with Congressional practice. By
force Of this usage the practice has
grown up of requiring a member who
wishes to address the House, or on
Monday to introduce a measure for i'm.
mediate action, to first send word to
the Speaker, express the nature of the
business he proposes to bring forward
and secure the Speakers consent. II
this be not done, then the member viii
certainly fail to be recognized by the
| Chair.
Speaker Blaine's motive in thus re
fusing to recognize Wilson has not yet
been explained.
The Chronicle of this morning and
the Star Of this evening are filed with
editorial articles of the most abusive
character, pouring out their vitupera,
tive wrath upon all who in any way
have forwarded the investigation.
The Star explains the Starkweathel
letter to Huntington, asking for money
for election purposes, by saying thai
1.-The plain fact is that Mr.. Huntington
was and had been for somey years Treas
urer Of the National Republican Con
gressional Committee, and was IL
charge of the campaign funds. The ap
plication was therefore regular and en-
tirely proper, and had no connection
whatever with district affairs"

The Foremost TOnic of the Age.

Taking into consideration the character of its
vouchers, the history of its cures and its i'm
mense annual sales, HOstetter's Stomach Bitters
may be fairly entitled the Foremost Tonic OF tue
Age. 1t is not only a tonic, but a constitutional
and local Alternative, and its tendency is 10 sub
stitute healthy for diseased action throughout
the system. If the stomach is feeble and torpid,
1t produces a vitalizing impression upon its mu-
eous tissues. No sooner has the dyspeptic swak-
lowed a dose of it than he knows by his sensa-
tons that his stomach has received an accession
OF vigor. 1t increases the desire for food and
the ability TO digest and assimilate 1t. If
the liver is derelict, it improves the con-
new and healthful impulse. The bowels being
DISTRACTED, it promotes the flow of bile into the
intestinal canal and thereby relieves them and
re-establishes their natural action. Its effect
upon the brain, the nerves and the kidneys Is
equally salutary. In short, it tones, alters and
regulates the whole system. janH-deOd 1w&w1t

A QUEER CASE-INvIOLABEEITY OF
THE MAIL.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2S.-A
queer case was decided by the Assis-
tant Attorney General for the Post
Office Department to-day. A man in
Greensburg, Ind, had reason to sup
pose that another man was correspond
ing with his wife under an assumed
name. He had the man arrested on
some charge, and among the witnesses
summoned was George S. Dunn, the
Postmaster, He was summoned as an
individual, and not as postmaster, and
was commanded to produce a letter fic-
titiously directed to the wife Of the
complainant. This he declined t. do,
and wrote TO the department for in
s~tructions, The decision made to-day
is that Dunn appear before the Circuit
Court of Decatur county, bat not pro-
luce the letter. He is directed to say
that he has ..hA letter in his possession
as al officer, and that he cannot obey
the summons without violating the
