IN CONGRESS-.

After the introduction and reference
of some unimportant new bills, the
house Yesterday took up the bill to reg
ulate Interstate commerce, upon which
Mr.. McCreary addressed the house in
favor of the bill SIS reported by the COM
mittee on railroads and canals. He ar
gued that the power Of congress over
Interstate railroads was plenary
and unlimited, except where linn
itations were imposed by the con-
stitution, and were equal in extent
with the power of any State govern
ment over common carriers. There
was no limitation in the constitution in
The declaration that congress may regu-
late commerce; as TO what congress
might do in the way of regulating COM
lnerce, it was for congress itself to de-
eide; provided what it did was in the
nature of regulstion. There was not,
and there could not be, any other Hmi-
tation on the power Of congress, under
the constitution. Both in authority
and reason, the proposition contained
in the bill was for the regulation
of commerce, and would inevitably be
held to be 8 proper and legitimate exer-
else of the power of congress. He de-
clared that the charges fixed by the
great railroad corp L'orations were fixed,
not by complication, but by eombina-
ton; and he quoted the shrewd aphor-
ism of old George Stevenson
that competition is impossible
wherever combination is possible" |"
The bin is made the special order from
day to day until disposed of. The SEN
ate exhausted the day on the centennial
bill, the point at issue. as Cm the day
previous, being whether it shall be ma
tional or International, and the govern
ment be made to foot the bill to the tune
of untold millions.

A Baltimore dispatch states that the
Edgar Stuart, in her local trip Monday,
was confined by the government to q
point fifteen miles down the bay, where
8, revenue-cutter was stationed to bar
the Stuart, if there was any intention
on her part of slipping off to sea. She
carried an American flag at her gaff, a
Cuban flag at the forecastle, a British
flag amidships, and a private pennant
ct the main-mast. Her armament con-
sisted of two brass boarding-swiyels,
and, besides these, she carries plenti-
ful supply of side-arms for the crew.
The trial-trip is thought to demonstrate
that the Stuart cannot make more than
ten miles an hour.

A dispatch from Atchison, Kansas,
says that Colonel G. @. Foster, of that
city, who has been appointed United
States district judge of Kansas, has been
for many years one Of the leading law
vers of the State, was a member of the
State senate in 1868 and 1864, and the
mayor of Atchison in 1867. He has the
largest and most lucrative practice in
the courts of northern Kansas, and has
been employed in the most important
causes tried in his section for many
years, and he is a gentleman of high
character and conceded ability. His ap-
pointment will give satisfaction. He
was not a candidate for the position.
The appointment came to him un-
sought.

DEATH OF T. G. COMPTON.

T. G. Compton, late Editor of thu
Rapides Gazette, died at Opelousas
on Tuesday, the 9Th inst, in the 6Otf
year Of his age. The deceased was
a native of Maryland, and gradu
ate Pharmacist of the Medical Col
lege of Baltimore. He followed the
occupation Of Druggist to which hi
was educated, in Port Gibson, Miss.
for three years; then came to Alex
andria in 1889, where he entered il
the same line Of business, and was
for two years Post Master of oul
Town, in 1840-41. He married here
in one of our best families, bearing
his own name, though Of no consan,
guihity, and retired as planter fol
many years. He was a man of good
attainments, we'll read and always
had penchant for the Fourth Es-
tate, led an unsuccessful, varied and
checquered life following his "print-
er-love," and finally died in editorial
harness. Though editing and con-
Quoting a purely radical paper of the
''official stamp we have reason to
know he had little or no faith in the
political tenets of the party to which
he died attached, other than for
bread and meat in his neglected, de-
serted and lingering last days. We
have known the deceased for 33
years, have passed and enjoyed good
and sociable times with him in the
days when we were really people,
and can truthfully say he was not
bad man, but on the contrary had
many of the good traits which adorn
poor human nature on this earth, and
many worse have died before, and
many meaner ones remain to read
this feeble and just tribute to his
memory. Rest to his soul!
