The PRESIDENTS SALARY.-Holman, OF
Indiana, a few days ago in the House

the Presidents salary from $50, 900 to
$25, 1000. He argued that the increase

resolution introduced by \. +. Frankland
was unanimously adopted, which refers to
The Centennial Committeeto carry into Op-
Grafton the plan, to unveil the cOmmemora-
tive statue at the exhibition in Philadel-
phia. The Committee of reports reported
deprecating the statements contained in
the Felsenthal letters, such as have aroused
some feeling in the brotherhood. The res
olutiOn was adopted. The subject of a home
and asylum was cordially recommended to
the adoption of each Grand Lodge, but a
general institution was condemned.
At this stage of the proceedings A. E.

crossed resolutions by district No. >, in ac-
Acknowledgement of his services and conduct
during the pestilence. 4 series of resolu-
tiOns complimentary to Rev. Max Sayetield,
Of Memphis, also passed. The report of

unanimously adopted, and the eulogium of
the chairman on the success thus far of
Consul PeiXottO was loudly applauded.
The report recommends the presentation Of
a petition 10 Congress asking that the Con-
sui a Bucharest be properly salarled, and
an appeal to members of the Order TO con-
tribute to the Roumanan fund. The fol-
lowing telegram was forwarded 10 PeiXotto
by Mr.. Wolf, President Of the Convention.

confidence ia yOu is unbounded. We will
sustain vou." The Convention then went

A REMARKABLE CASE.

The Green Bay VS. Gazette notices
a remarkable case of opthalmic surgery
recently performed by Dr. G. Z. HOugh-
man, of the Milwaukee Eye and Ear In
frmary, on a citizen of Green Bay, Mr..
c.. E. Eames, now in his 10th year.
Mr.. Eames had been blind five years
with cataract of both eyes. One of his
eyes had been previously operated on,
and the cataract successfully removed,
but inflammation subsequently set in,
producing such intense pam that the
eve had to be removed. The other eye
was operated on by Dr.. Houghman, the
cataract removed and the sight restored,
but, on the tenth day afterthe operation,
Inflammation set IN with such mtOlera-
bic pain that Mr.. Eames begged the
Doctor to remove the eye. The Doctor
first punctured the eye with a needle,
but without effect. He then perform
ed an experiment of his own-that of
lancing the eyeball. About half a
teaspOOnful of coagulated blood fol-
lowed the withdrawal Of the lance.
The relief to the patient was instantan-
eOus, and Mr.. Eames is now at home IN
perfect health, with eyesight complete
ly restored after five years of blind
ness. The Gazette speaks of this Oper-
alton on the eyeball for the removal of
matter causing Inflammation as original
with DIR. HOughman, and of MIR.
Eames as the first recorded subject
of it.

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.

frUm the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-When Mr..
Logan's bill to charter the proposed
Trans-continental Railroad ed Tele-
graph Company emerges from the Sen
ate Committee on Railroads, 1t Will be
found amended in two important par
ticulars. The first change will be as to
the maximum rates to be charged for
carrying freight and passengers. The
bill, as originally drawn, fixed the tariff
on freight at one and One-half cent per
ton per mile, and the passenger rate at
two and One-half cents per mile. The
first has been reduced to one cent per
ton, and the latter to two cents a mile,
At one cent a ton it Will cost about
twenty-four cents a bushel TO carry
wheat from Chicago TO New York,
while passengers can travel the same
distance for about sixteen dollars. The
second amendment provides that when
ever the road reaches a stage of pros
perlty when It viii pay over ten per
cent. on its original cost, further pro
portlonal reduction shall be made both
rs to freight and passenger traffic. The
friends Of the bill claim that if 1t does
not pass as amended, then the Con-
gresslonal cry for cheap transportation
does not mean business.

skulk stealthily into the saloon, the

They are personally appealed to, and if
they still enter, are made the objects of
special prayers, which, delivered in
fervent tones, ring through and through

TRUE INDEPENDENCE.

In its political aspect. We regard the
coming race as one of much more than
usual importance. Already more than
fifteen States have been disenthralled
and relieved Of Radical oppressors. It
remains t. be seen. whether the people
OF Tennessee have the independence to
declare themselves independent of the
so-called independents and support
Vhe Democratic nominees for Executive.
Legislative and civil Offices IN August
and November. The overwhelming ma
jority of our people are opposed to Rad
icalism. If they listen to the prating
Of the old political grannies, who con-
tInually cry cGUc3J5. and throw away
their votes On independent candi-
dEtes the result IS inevitable

We have bat 10 recall the scenes Of two
years ago. and to reflect that Horace
Maynard occupies 4 seat in Congress

Lost and Two saved
From the Buffalo Courier, Jan. "a.
Three men named A. Rose Henry
Won Wagnem, and Joseph GirOux, NV
ing IN the vicinity Of the works of the
Niagara River Iron Company, went
out on the river some time before noon
yesterday ON a shooting excursion, as IS
supposed. The party bought a sail
boat into requisitiOn, but had not been
long upon the Niagara before the boat
was eapsiZed by a sudden squalL. The
men were thrown out, but managed To
gain footing on the ice, which was
being rapidly borne down the river. At
noon the three men were discovered on
the ice nearly IN front of the works al
ready mentioned, and their pItiful cries
for help attracted great many people
to the shore. The crowd were bewllder-
ed with terror, and found themselves
absolutely pOwerless to render
aid. The ice was running
with relentless swiftness and
the rescue of the men seemed 10 admit
of no delay. The greatest excitement
prevailed and the unfortunate trio were
considered doomed. In this extremity
a man was suddenly dispatched from
the Iron Works for the Grand Island
Ferry tug Ada, and to summOnsfOr help
Capt. Adam Hartman responded with
alacrity. His boat had barely fuel for
a miles travel, and he could not have
anticipated anything FOR her but Sc

the heavy ice and the gale that had set
IN, but he resolved upon prompt action
and went as speedily as possible to the
rescue. He pursued the men down the
river, but before he could reach the
foes upon which they drifted out Of the
party, Joseph Giroux fell into the an
CRY waters and was seen no more. The
other two were rescued a short distance
this side of La Sale, and when taken
off were badly frozen and completely
exhausted. They could not have main-
tanned their ground many minutes
longer, and altogether they must have
been for nearly three hours IN the very
face Of death. The unfortunate Giroux
leaves a wife to mourn his untimely
taking off.

Mr.. Carpenter said he would next pro
ceed to consider the interference of the
general government in this inud1le. While
this contest was going ON, Kellogg COM
menced suit in the United States Court,
and Judge Durell issued his restraining
order, and it was most remarkable docu-
ment. On the 9th of December there was
another judicial proceeding which has had
no parallel in this country or England. Az
night, this same Judge Durell issued an
order to seize the Statehouse. The
telegram showed he went to his Lodging
about IL o'clock p. NJ. and feeling like i,
issued the order. Nobody had applied for
it. He was not sitting in chambers, not
holding court, but at his lodging issued an
order to the United States Marshal to seize
the State House. 1t was seized, a company
of troops put therein, and the company had
it for more than six weeks, while the farce
of organizing the Legislature was being
enacted, and these two men (Pinchback
and Ray) was elected while the State
House was SO held by troops. The act of
Congress authorizing election cases
applied only TO instances where parties
were prevented from voting on account of
race, color or previous condition of servitude
so Mr.. Durell had not even a decent pre-
text for jurisdiction. A more remarkable
proceeding than that Of Mr.. DurelFs could
not be found anywhere. Such orders were
never issued in Russia or Turkey. BY his
very act he organized both sides, putting
Republicans in and Democrats out of the
statehouse. He (Carpenter) sent to tie
clerks desk and had read the orders of that
judge and said he wished it was in his pow.
er to have them read in the hearing of ev-
cry citizen of the United States.
After the reading, Mr.. Edmunds said
twas evident his friend (Carpenter) was
becoming worn out, and he therefore moved
that the Senate go into executive session.
Mr.. Carpenter agreed to the motion, and
the Senate went into executive session, and
soon after adjourned until tomorrow, when
Mr.. Carpenter will resume his speech.
