DEMOCRATIC EMBARRAsS-
MENTS.
What RepubIIcAnSees is I'm the Future
for the aI0Fity Ia the Forty
Fourth Congress.

Special to the New York Timesl
WASHINGTON, February 10. The
Democrats express, aud without doubt
feel, great anxiety to pass the appropri-
alton bills and avoid the necessity of an
extra session. They dread the respon-
sibility they must assume, and the con-
hict over the offices, which cannot fail
to be personal and bitter. II the house
should meet on March fourth there ia but
little doubt but Fernando Wood would
be elected speaker. Cox and Randall
both know this, and they are among
those most anxious not to have an extra
session. MFR. Holman is credited with
the remark that he wished congress
could adjourn till year from next De-
cember. There are at least thirty-five
candidates for the clerkship who have
counted up already. The posteffice has
still more numerous competitors, who
are probably envious of theOppOrtunities
which Mr.. King has shown that the
postmaster enjoys. II Mr.. Wood
should not be the speaker he
will certainly be chairman OF the ways
and means committee and leader of the
house. The attempt was made soon af-
ter the holidays to hold q meeting of
leading Democrats from all parts Of the
country, to confer with the Democrats
in congress, and arrange 3 policy and
issue an address. Belmont came over
from New York, and met many others,
informally, and it was found that the
danger of an open rupture on the cur
rency question was so great, in case
meeting was held, that the whole affair
has been indefinitely postponed. The
New York men made propositions to
leading southern men looking to the
of Governor Tilden for Pres
ident, and promised, if the south would
accept him, they should be allowed to
name the Vice-President, and to have a
large voice in making the platform.
This was acceptable to the south, and
several consultations have been held on
the subject. The delegates from the
south will inevitably rule the cOnven-
ton.

NATIONAL BANKS.
The New Bill of the Committee on
Banking and Currency, that is
Likely to Become
Law.

WASHINGTON, February 16.-The
committee ON banking and currency
have had for some time under consider
alton various propositions to further reg
ulate national banks, and have virtually
agreed upon bill which is substantial
ly the same as that Of Mr.. Maynard,
which was introduced ON the eighth in
slant. The committee have the power
to report at any time, and will probably
report at an early day and press their
measure to vote. As the committee
are unanimous, it is supposed that they
will be able to pass their bill through the
house, with q chance for it to 20 through
the senate. The bill makes material
improvements in the present bank
ing act. In it's first section
it removes the restrictions in
the present law by which banks
having a capital OF over one million dol
lars are limited in their circulation to
eighty, seventy-five and sixty per cent.
of such capital. All banks will, under
the new bill, be allowed a circulation
equal to ninety per cent. Of the paId-up
capital. Section provides for the ap-
pOintment of receiver to wind up a
bank upon application from any judg-
ment creditor whose judgment is unsat-
isfied. Section provides that when
any association has gone into liquida-
.tiOn the individual liability of the share
holder may be at once enforced by bill
in equity by any creditor. AS the law
now stands this cannot be done until the
receiver has closed his account, and in
one case this has lasted four or five
years. Section 4 provides for better en-
forcing the payment OF assessments by
delinquent shareholders, by selling their
stock at public auction. Section > ex-
cludes liability for special deposits in
sealed packages or locked boxes, I'M
less a receipt shall be given
by the bank admitting its liability.
There are over sixty suits now pending
against one bank for such liability Sec

STRIKES TO COME.
The Fate of MassaehUseIIs-A Strike
Begun I'm Taunton, One Threatening
in Lowell, and Another I'm.
pending In Fall River.

BOSTON, February 1.-THE restless
agitatOrs and workingmep's leaders
have carried their points, and have be-
gun movements which may possibly re-
suit in series of strikes in the large
manufacturing places of New England
before spring. At Fall River the strikers
have resolved to stand out until they
get their demands, and their leaders
have exerted their influence to such an
extent that an extended strike has al
ready begun in Taunton, and some
trouble is anticipated in Lowell. At q
large meeting at Fall River last night,
the Weavers resolved that if twenty
seven cents per cut is not forthcoming
within q week, work must cease in all
the mills. In Taunton, the strike began,
as has already been stated, on Friday.
The superintendent of the Eagle mills
states that his operatives left the mill
unceremoniOusly, making no statement
whatever as to what they wanted. The
treasurer declares that he shall follow
the lead set by the Fall River mills, and
hold out indefinitely. He states that
they have been paying twenty-four
cents per hundred-weight. Meetings
are being held in all the large mill cities,
and contributions are being taken up
from operatives at work for the support
of those out on strike. At present
nothing will be done, it is declared, by
the mill-owners, and they assert their
ability to hold out until early spring, if
necessary. 1t is confidently believed
that 80 soon as the funds begin to run
low, strikes will end. Meanwhile there
is much suffering among the operatives
out, and much dissension in their coun-
oils

INDIAN NATION.
House Report Against q Territorial
Government.

WASHINGTON, February 16.-The
house committee on Indian affairs, to
whom was referred the bill to provide
for the organization Of Territorial form
Of government over the country usually
known as the Indian Territory, and for
other purposes, reported, to-day, that
after careful, thorough and impartial
consideration Of the subject, they find,
in view Of the peculiar relations to be
sustained by the people therein, that
there is no authority which will justify,
but, on the contrary, they find much in
the many treaties with the Indians oc-
cupying and owning the territory, and
in the act Cf congress vestiug and guar
anteeing certain rights and immunities
to them, and in the opinions Of the
supreme court interpreting, defin-
ing and sustaining the same,
which expressly forbids the legisla-
ton proposed. The committee say, be-
lieving as we do, that the legislation
proposed in these bills to be unjust and
inexpedient, and therefore unwise. We
trust the seal of displeasure will be by
congress emphatically set upon these
and kindred movements, calculated to
destroy the binding force Of the nations
obligation to the feeble people who are
thereby to be effected. The people of
this great nation ought to know, and
those of the Indian Nation ought to be
reassured, that the congress Of the
United States cannot, and will not, lend
its sanction to any measure furnishing
the nations honor, especially where its
faith has been plighted by a solemn
guarantee and written covenant.

HAPPY BRIDE,
her husband being one Of the most tall
ented physicians in East Tennessee, she
being noted for her beauty and intelli-
gence. Two handsome, sprightly chill
dren were born to them, to gladden. the
home Of this young couple who seemed
destined to enjoy all the blessings Of
life, for certainly married life never
opened more suspiciOusly. But trouble
came to this couple, as it has to others.
Their DTight-eyed baby died, and few
months later the husband departed for
Europe in the service Of the Smithsonian
institute at Washington. Letters came
regularly to the waiting wife and bright
eyed boy in the mountains Of East Ten
nessee, and then they ceased; but the
wife. kept up her courage, making, to
satisfy her anxious heart, one excuse
after another for this strange silence. In
this way the weeks passed drearily by,
and then paper was received contain
ing a graphic account of the awful
death, by means of an avalanche on
Mont Blanc, OF DIR. and party of
some sixteen others. 1t was q terrible
blow, and for many weeks the
life OF the stricken one hung
in the balance; but death, which in
this instance would have been gladly
welcomed, came not TO the relief of the
one who had been bereft Of her husband
in so terrible manner. Finally her
health was partially restored, and it was
then found that her reason was partially
destroyed. She was carefully nursed by
devoted relatives and friends, but her
malady assumed such shape that it was
found necessary to send her to the asy-
lum, and there she is to-day. The ex-
animation of the entire building having
been concluded,
THE CONsERvATORIEs AND GROUNDS |
were next visited and found to be in
perfect order. The farm stock were |
housed, as was also all the |
used upon the place, and
his fact, together with the neat, trim
condition of the fields, shows that the
agricultural interests of the institution
ire in safe and competent hands. About
Jix o'clock the visitors were escorted to
THE DINING.RooM,
where rich repast, comprising all the
lelicacies of the season, had been spread
lnder the skillful supervision of Mrs.
Dr.. Collender, Mrs. DR.. East and the
,ther ladies of the establishment. To
his full justice was done, and then,
With hearty good wishes for DR.. COllen-
Ter and his assistants, we re-entered the
yehicles by which we had been con-
yeyed to the asylum and returned to the
,ity, convinced that the management of
hospital for the insane is not
xcelled by that of any similar institu-
ion in the land.

John Bright is still one Of the finest
looking men ever seen; and his thick,
snow-white hair, brushed back from
forehead and face, and flowing in heavy,
vigorous locks, have added q sort of
grandeur to his cOuntenance. His blue
eye is still bright and sharp, and rest
less; his skin still fair, though not so
ruddy as it used to be; and his mouth is
still pursed up, as it was when the ex-
preston seemed perpetual defiance to
all things antiquated, corrupt and use
less in the British constitution. But he
shows his age and his ill health in q less
rotHnd form, in the wrinkles that have
gathered, in q more sober, sedate man
ner, in the slow instead of rapid, nerv-
Gus walk. In his manner he is more
quiet and deliberate, and it seems as
though illness and years had produced
q certain effect on his body correspond
ing with the growing caution and con-
servatism of his opinions. Yet, for all
this, Bright is still the most forcible
and fascinating Of English platform ora-
tors.

When the young king of Spain, Al
fonso MI, was on his way through Paris
the other day he was button-holed by the
Orleans princes, who succeeded, before
they let go their grip, in inducing him
to betroth himself TO his still more
youthful cousin, the Princess Maria de
las Mercedes, daughter Of the Duke OF
Montpensier, who was born at Madrid
in 1860. and is not yet fifteen years OF
age. Her elder sister being already mar
ried to the Count of Paris, this little ar
rangement may be looked upon as a
skiliful device to divert the sympathies
OF the new ruler Of Spain from the cause
OF the prince imperial Of France, with
whom he has hitherto been supposed to
be on very clOse and intimate terms,
