CONGRESSIONAL.
TUESDAY. February "a.


Senate.-Petitions we're presented in
favor Of specie payments; making Lin
coins birthday national holiday; against
further issues of paper money; for an in
crease of the currency.
The unfinished business, being the bill
to equalze the distribution of the national
banking circulation, then came up--the
pending question being on the motion to
recommit, with instructions offered by Mr..
Merrimon and adopted by the Senate.
Mr.. Schurz, who was entitled to the
floor, said that up to Friday last he had not
intended to submit any remarks on this
subject, as he had hoped that in the con-
fused tumble of propositions presented to
the Senate no harm could result to the in
terests of the country. The spectacle
which had been presented here for weeks
was enough to make the civilized world
stare. The argument had been deliberate
" made on this aoor that the precious
metals could never more be the standard
of value, because they were not equal to
the products OF industry. As we'll say
that the yard-stick could never more
be the standard of measurement
because it was not as long as roll of car
pet. Arguments had been made here to
show the great condition of prosperity to
which Austria and Italy and other coun-
tries Of Europe had attained through large
paper circulation. He could tell the Sena-
tor from Indiana (Mr. Norton that the
statesmen of those countries were giving
their best energies to the devisement OF
means to get rid of this paper money, and
they would listen to bis arguments with q
smile Of derision. Mr.. s. read from Marco
Polo's travels in China illustrations of the
effect of excessive issues of an irredeems-
BILE currency.
House.-The House proceeded to call
of states for bills and joint resolutions
and number were introduced:
By Mr.. Smith (Va.)-A joint reso luton
amendatory of the joint resolution of April
l6, 1872, in relation to statue to the late
Admiral Farragut.
By Mr.. Smith (Va.)-Bill to abolish the
office of commissioner and deputy com.
missioner of internal revenue, and Of COM
missioner Of customs.
The House then resumed consideration
of the bill to revive the
FRANKINd PRIVILEGE,
so far as the distribution of public docu'
ments are concerned.
Mr.. Willard (Vt.) said he was opposed ia
the pending bill, and also to the bill of Mr..
Hale, of New York, for he understood that
the committee propose to permit Mr.. Hale
to offer as an amendment his bill for the
absolute restoration of the ranking priv.
lege, it would take seven or eight hundred
thousand dollars out of the treasury.

AN INTERNATIONAL CODE. Mr.. Da-
vid Dudley Field, an eminent lawyer Of
this country, who deserves the highest
honor as an enthusiastic apostle of this
principle, has made q draft of an lnterns-
tional code, extending to seven hundred
and two sections, and covering the whole
field of international public and private
law. His propositions in respect to the
adjustment of national difficulties are the
following: 0gFEr5 sa3oa
/. That every nation supposing itself to
have ground of complaint against an
other shall give formal notice of the cause
or causes of such complaint, as well as Of
the redress it seeks.
2. That when, after such notice, the
two nations find themselves unable to
agree as to the matter in dispute they
shall appoint q joint high commission,
whose business shall be, if possible, to
reconcile them, and in this way terminate
the dispute. ,lrnr'f
3. That, in the event of failure, the
question shall be referred to high tribu-
nal of arbitration, consisting of seven per-
sons, appointed in q specific wav, whose
decision shall be final
4. That the nations that are parties to
code embracing these principles shall
bind themselves to see to it that each
nation thus party shall not resort to wa,
with any other party accepting the code
but shall in all cases comply with its pro-
visions for the preservation of peace.

twenty SIX Millions of People i'm India
Threatened by Famine.

A dispatch to the New York Herald
from London says: Archibald Forbes,
the special correspondent Of the London
News, in letter to that paper descriptive
of the famine in India, says: The scarcity
of food extends and is spreading among
the population of wide tract of country
running along the foot of the Himalaya
boundaries of Napaul, on the southern slope
aud stretching from Dude to near OAR
feeling, in the Sikkim territory. These
remote districts, removed from railroads
and other sources of easy communication,
are difficult of approach Lord North
brook informed me that the existence of
this terrible distress threatens the govern
ment most seriously. The Governor
General recognizes fifteen districts in adj
dit;on to provincial territories, comprising
total population Of twenty.six mil
lions of people, who are afflicted either
by actual famine or distressing scarcity
of food. This is not all. Twelve other
districts containing fourteen millions of
people, are threatened. These latter places
are described as being almost roadless and
without water. The coolies and field
laborers in the more densely populated
districts feel the pinch most, owing to the
total absence of work in the rice fields.
"A special dispatch to The Times from
Calcutta says $50, 900 persons are distressed
from want of food in the districts OF Tir-
boot and Boglipoor, Presidency of Bengal.
The same dispatch says it is estimated that
but for the aid furnished by the government
500, 900 persons would have persisted"

THE CHECK REIN.-Why is it that so
many of our farmers, and nearly all of our
CITY carriers insist in using a tight rein on
working horses? When horse, left to
his natural inclination, has heavy load to
pull, he can best exert his strength if his
backbone is in one continuous line, and this
he will have if not prevented by tight
check.reln. Some claim that it prevents q
horse from falling, aud when man can
raise himself over fence by q lift on his
suspenders we will believe IL. When Q
horse falls, a tight rein will most effectually
prevent him from getting on to his fee
again. Try it without the rein and see ]
we are not correct in our practice ant
theory both. Journal of the Form. 2
