Last nights "6liibustering" in the House OF
Representatives Oh the part Of the Democrats
says the Washington correspondent OF the Bal
timore Americao, holds the key to all the
Southern reports, as, under Speaker Blame
ruling, any bill on these subjects must be pass
ed before - o'clock to-day, because at that
time the first of the last six days session 10
terveues, and motion to suspend the rules
will have precedence of all other motions.
For instance, a Democrat so disposed could
move to suspend the rules to paint the Capitol
black or white if the chairman OF any commit
tee who had the floor would surrender 1t to
him for that purpose. Unless Republicans
choose to risk political bills to tWo-thlrdS
vote, which they know they cannot get the
only way to pass the Southern bills by ma
ority vote will be to continue to-day's ieglsIa
tive session to March 4th; otherwise they must
pass the political bills before to. morrow noon:
if adjournment ensues, or fail.

There is a movement on foot in Charlottes

Jeffersouian says: Under the existing ar,

this route to Charlottesville have to be tran
shipped at GordonsvllIe, Where they arc sub
iected to the local tariff Of the G. l. .. road,
besides being liable to undue detention 1t is
also true that goods may be shipped to points
south of this place and there shipped back
again at less rate than is now paid upon dlrcc-
shipment. The freight on goods from Baltit
more has long been onerous to the merchants
here, and if relief can be had in this way, we
do not see why they should not have it.

WONDERFUL SPECTACLE. An interesting
description OF burning well in Pennsylvania
is given by VIM. j. Cummings, Of Tareotown,
as seen on the night Of the I'd OF February.
The we'll is about seven miles from TarentOWn,
on the farm of Mr. VIM Hervey, and is owned
By Mr.. Hervey aud others in the oil business
The we'll is 45 feet deep, and was bored for
oil. 1t is in hollow between abrupt hills, but
the light from it is visible at distance of thir-
teen miles. In the immediate vicinity the
illumination of the trees and rocks is grand
beyond description. The fame is about forty
feet high and fifteen feet broad, and the cur
rent rushes from the ground with rumbllng
noise The heat is so great and constant that
trees all around are budding aud grass is grow
ing fucly. Within sixty feet of the flame the
heat is 40 degrees. One could see to read by
the light quarter Of mile distant, and it un-
interrupted by trees, mile and half Hun
dreds Of persons are constantly visiting the
marvellous scene. The roaring of the gas as it
rushcs out and is consumed can be heard four
miles.
Negotiations are going on for the purchase
of this gas we'll by DR.. Hostetter, Graft. Bon
nett & Co., the Pennsylvania Salt Co., the Co
umbia Conduit and others, who are studying
the problem of utilizing this natural treasure 10
their various enterprises. The gas is conveyed
from the we'll to the distance of about $50 feet
by a six-inch metal pipe, and discharges itself
at the end Of this pipe with the persuasive force
of steam. There is another we'll OF less note
six miles distant, at place called Saxeuburgh,
which also sends out constant supply OF gas.
The tools are yet 10 the Hervey well, which, 1t
drawn out. would no doubt allow lar greater
volume Ut gas TO escape.

The Graham Investigation.

The Senate Committee on Privileges and
EIections met Monday afternoon. Mr.. Ora.
ham contcndcd that if any act OF which the
Senate could take cognizance had been COM
mitted, it was anterior to the organization OF
the present. Scuatc. He charged that Of the
forty-two senators now serving only twenty
or twcnty-cnc of them were members OF the
Senate when the cadetship sale is said to have
occurred therefore, the Senate as DOW constl-
tuted had no Jurisdiction. Further, he claim
ed, admitting the truth of the testimony given
before the Naval Committee, that no State
law had been violated.
On this point Col. Penn differed with him,
and referred to the Code providing for the
punishment of those concerned In bribery. Mr.
Graham responded that in procuring the ca
detship from Stowel for Schoolcraft he was
merely acting as the attorney OF Dr. beattie
COL Penn rcioined that 1t was no part OF the
privilege of an attorney to bride public iunc-
tionary.
After full discussion of the legal points
raised by Mr.. Graham, they were all overruled
by vote of the committee.
Col. Penn submitted the draft OF a report
which he proposed the committee should make
to the Senate. 1t laid down the proposition
that if Senator Grahams sworn statement,
made by him before the Committee on Naval
Affairs at Washington, be true, then he is
guilty of brbing member Of Congress-. Ii it
be not true, he is guilty Of swearing falsely,
and 10 either event has violated the privileges
of the Senate, and ought to be expelled
Mr.. Graham again asked for time, and with
out acting upon Mr.. Peuu's proposed report,
the committee adjourned to meet again yester-
day.
Mr.. Graham was represented by his counsel,
who asked that the case be continued until to-
morrow, to which the majority of the commit
tee objected, but finally they agreed. The case
was continued until tomorrow afternoon at
O'Clock, with the express understanding that
the counsel would be prepared to go on with
it.-Richmond Wing Of yesterday.

that legislation should be directed against
existing evil, that 1t was folly to antici-
pate evils that had not, did not and proba-
bly, would not exist, and that the rates of
all railroads, except one, were satisfactory
and did not call for any legislative super
vision. This view of the matter was ac-
cepted by those who asked for legislation,
preferring half loaf TO none, and with
this view we conceded. The resolution OF
the California republicans seems to meet
both views of the case and to reconcile the
arguments of each. The legislation they
demand is general In its form, but will be
only applicable to special cases. Because
the Delaware and Hudson canal company
are not reasonable in their freight charges,
it does not follow that the rates of the Cen
trail Vermont should be reduced, or vice
cerm There may be now no necessity for
legislation in this state, but still such a
general law with special application as is
proposed In California IS what we need in
Vermont. The people will demand it and
it would be wise for the railroad compa-
MES TO concede it.

There is an excellent opportunity now
to read the republicans of Maine out of the
party. Zach Chambers son-in-law didn't
want the president needlessly insulted'
by the passage of an anti-thrd-term reso-
luton, and the remaining members of the
state convention not desiring to stultify
themselves or needlessly insult" their
constituents by indorsing the administra-
ton as brilliant achievement quietly
ignored the existence of any such thing as
an administration. They adopted "pol-
icy of silence which speaks louder than
all the -third-term resolutions in the
world policy which, although that Of
I" silence" will make itself heard, unGer-
stood and felt, not only at Washington,
but throughout the country. Now let the
Washing on Republican commence its
reading-o 1t process. ant all of the little
tails to its big kite will wag in sympathy.

The Congregational Convention.

The attendance upon the Congregational
convention at Bennington has been much
smaller than in former years, caused in a
measure by the great distance to be trav-
eled from some portions of the state to
reach the seat of the convention. There
was noticeable absence of the leading
clcrgymcn and laymen of the denomination
in the state. DIR. w. II. Lord, President
Buckham, DIR. Clement, President Kitchel
and others of the stalwart men failed to
put in appearance. The exercises have
therefore possessed less of interest to those
in attendance. The services have been of
measurable interest, although the sermons,
addresses and papers have not been of
high order

science, relating to works of necessity on
the Sabbath" was discussed by Rev. Il T.
