marsh Consents to Return and
Testify under Safe Con.
duct.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-At an adj
journed meeting of the caucus of Re
publican Senators to-day. after a long
discussion it was unanimously agreed
that the necessary efficiency Of the
civil service would be seriously inn
paired if a sweeping reduction be
made in all its branches by the appli-
cation Of the reported policy Of the
House Committee to cut down nearly
all the salaries ten per cent, and the
force employed twenty per cent and
also that the action Of the House in
proposing TO abolish number Of our
missions to South America, and re-
dnce the salaries of our principal
Ministers in Europe, is unwise and
very impolitic, 1t was therefore
agreed that the Senate Committee on
Appropriations should pass upon each
item OF reduction in various bills sep.
arately, and should recommend con.
currence only in those reductions
which, after separate examination
are compatible with the continuance
of requisite efficiency. Wherever
such reductions can be made, the Re
publican majority of the Senate viii
vote for them, but on the contrary
unless similar good reasons can b,
shown for concurrence in any recon
mcndatiOn of the House touching
matter of Importance, will be me
with unyielding firmness.

Butler said he met Smith. a corrcs-
pendent of the Ecening Post. and re-
marked to him that he knew some
thing of the $4,000 which Pendleton
received on account of the Kentucky
Central Railroad.
The General was asked whether he
supposed Smith was going to publish
what he said of them. The General
repiied that not wishing to throw
any imputation on Smith, he would
merely remark he never said any
thing to correspondent that was not
published. Laughter.l He would
trust them with untold gold but MOI
with bit ofnews. He had investi
gated the Pendleton matter little OF
his own account.
w. Scott Smith, the Posts cores
pondent, testified that Butler was tn,
lawyer to whom his evidence yester
day referred.
Gen. Butler privately, at the re
quest of the Committee, wrote TIL
names of the parties who had fiet
from New York to New Orleans, an,
the Committee will send a subp9n
after them.

tract with Marsh for the postradel

Here is something in the way of
coaxing subscribers to a newspaper
that rather heats the chrome dodge.
A publisher of Roman Catholic
newspaper in Indiana offers as an in
ducement to tho faithful to subscribe
for his journal what seems to take
hold on "eternal things" He informs
the public that by subscribing to his
paper they will not only secure the
reading Of sound and reliable
Catholic organ, but may also lay up
some treasure in heaven, for he says
"The holy sacrifice Of the Mass is
offered up every Saturday at Notre
Dame for life subscribers, with a cer-
tain number of CommupiQns OH the
same day-from fifty to seventy-five-
for the living and the dead the same
Mass and Communions with indul-
gencies and prayers will be offered
up for departed life subscribers indi-
vidually, as it may please God to call
them from our midst ; subscribers for
one year and upwards share in the
benefit ola Mass once month. Our
Holy Father has given His special
blessing to all who, as contributors,
subscribers, or in any other canacity,
further the interests of the AUe Ma
ria this, In connection with the asso-
citation of prayers, make con-frater-
nifty of the Blessed Virgin of the con.
tributors and subscribers to the peri.
odical. A complete list of the de-
ceased subscribers is kept at Notre
Dame, and thus they are remem.
bered, not only In life, but also in
DEATH"
If that don't fetch them he had bet
ter give up the publication and ge,
the "powers that be" to anathematizt
the unappreciative Catholics.

WHILE the Democratic caucus at
Washington have, by vote declared
the policy of the party, it is, in fact,
only declaration of the majority.
The vote stood So for the Payne bill
and 46against it. The minority still
claim that they are not bound, and
decline to accept the result as bind
ing upon them. This bill repeats the
resumption act so far as it pertains to
the time of resumption. 1t provides
for laying by in the Treasury sink
ing fund, and also i'm the banks; it
does not disturb the national banks,
only i'm that it requires that their
charters shall not be renewed. This
would let the national banks die be-
tween the years 1881 and 1890. This
Payne bill is the work of one of the
most artful, cunning dodgers in the
and is framed solely for po-
litical effect having no reference
to the real interests of the
finances of the country. 1t is result
that will fall still-born, as it in no
way effects a reconcilement between
he conflicting views of Democratic
congressman. ]

The Philadelphia Times pays the
following tribute to q worthy subject
and the extract suggests an amend.
ment of the old proverb so that il
shall read, can honest woman is the
noblest work of God"
"Mrs. Grant has borne herself with
true womanly dignity. Considering
the shoddy social surroundings Of
power, and the reign Of greed, the
rare prudence and entirely blameless
demeanor Of Mrs. Grant is just cause
for sincere congratulation Of the
country. tits evident that no person
has ever complicated the wife Of the
President in any interference to ad-
vance speculative or political inter-
ests. For seven years Mrs. Grant
has been the mistress of the white
house, and her name has uniformly
and justly escaped the scandals which
have spared SO few in their sweep.
She has been model of modest
sensible woman for the women of her
country, and commands the nniver-
sal respect of the nation"

When Belknap was married, the
marriage notice announced that the
"bride was given away by her dis
tingnished kinsman, the Hon. George
II. Pendleton, of Ohio" Pendleton
is Democratic aspirant for the Pres
idency. He gave away Mrs. Belknap,
and Mrs. Belknap gave away Bel
KNAPP; and Belknap gave away Heis-
ter Clymer, and Hester Clymer gave
away the whole Democratic House.

And the Democratic House gave
away Marsh.-Er.
That is it precisely. When the
whole truth comes out, if it ever
does, it will be found that Republic
an Secretary of War has been ruined
by the teachings and influence of
George III. Pendleton, and prominent
national leaders of the Democracy.

RAILROAD Presidents should take
courage; noted and profitable ex-
perience is now made public of GEN
tleman George, whereby they may all
learn how to turn an honest penny.
George, besides his salary as Presi-
dent Of the Kentucky Central, en-
ployed himself as attorney for the
road, and collected a claim of the
company against the government for
$l4S,OO0, and took $4,000 Of it for his
fee. George says he took it all, and
.besides this, paid his clerk $4,000.
1t is a good thing, this bit of history
concerning George as railroad;
president, has come out, that the peo-
pie of the country, and especially the
Democracy might be thoroughly post
ed as to his eminent qualifications for
President of the United States. In
the national executive chair he would
be most admirable collector as well
as President.

Men who have taken him by the arm,

Every trifle of bill is hunted up and
presented that would not have seen
the light for months to come, but for
the misfortunes of the debtor. If it
is paid, well and good if not, the
scowl of the sheriff, perhaps, meets
him at the corner. A man that has
never failed knows but little of hn-
man nature.
In prosperity he sails along gently,
waited by favorite smiles and kind
words from everybody. He prides
himself upon his name and spotless
character, and makes his boast that
he has not an enemy in the world.
Alas the change. He looks at the
world in a different light when re-
verses come upon him. He reads
suspicion on every brow. He hardly
knows how to move or to do this
thing or the other; there are spies
about him, writ is ready for his
back. To know what kind of stuff
the world is made of, person must
be unfortunate, and stop paying once
in lifetime. If he has kind friends
they are made manifest. A failure
is q moral sieve-it brings out the
wheat and shows the chat. A man
thus learns that words and pretended
good will are not, and do not consti-
tute real friendship.

Corn can be raised successfully
throughout forty degrees each side of
the equator, except on the submits
of high mountains and some parts OF
the torrid zone. A few simple facts
about its production are worth
remembering. The land for corn
should be plowed deep and the earth
pulverized. Start the plant as soon
as the ground will permit. Use none
but the best seed.
In its reproduction the flower is
separated into two parts the tassel,
the male part, at the top of the stalk,
and the silk, the female flower, locat-
ed intermediately on the stalk ar
ranged thus i'm nature SO that the
pollen from the tassel might fall upon
the silking flower and make 1t fruit
full. On isolated stalks of corn the
silk receives so little of the pollen
from its own tassel that but few
grains come to perfection; hence the
importance and necessity of having
q number of stalks near by or in the
same field, in order that perfect ears
and full crop may be made. Some
farmers still assert that there is moth.
ing in these facts.
The roots of corn grow much faster
than the stalk at first, measuring
sometimes foot long before the
stem is half that length. The brace
roots should not be broken in work
ing, as they support the stalk, and
when broken it makes heavy
draught on the plant to reproduce
them.

THE Senate Republican caucus at
Washington has decided to meet the
buncombe economy of the Democrats
i'm cutting down by wholesale on APP
preparations for Government expens-
es, at the threshold and scrutinize
closely each case. Whenever it shall
be found that a decrease in appropri-
atoms can be made and not cripple
the best interests of the country, the
Republican Senators will agree to it,
but it is evident that they will de-
cline emphatically to endorse the
wholesale policy of cutting down in
expenses adopted by the Democracy
of the House, which has been done,
not i'm the interest of the nation, but
purely and solely for political capital,
as one of the dishonest lodges by
which the old ex-rebel element hope
again to steal into possession of the
country. 1t is but hypocritical
cloak put on to deceive, that leads
to ruin.

re aaaenigaa Lsqasr Law.

The practical working of the laws
for the taxation of the liqnor traffic,
and for its regulation, in this county
and city, has been triumph of order
and good government.
That class of dealers who at first
made opposition to the tax have
yielded to the power Of the law, hav-
ing been convinced that resistance to
the law would be useless, and will
only lead to increased expense. The
tax system has also shut up fully one
fifth of the saloons, and those of the
worst class-hot beds and nurseries Of
crime. The regulating law, closing
the saloons on Sunday, is also enfor-
ced, and the few dealers who defy it
are promptly punished by heavy fines
SO that the Sunday liquor traffic has
ceased to be a profitable business
The result is seen in the great de
crease of drunkenness ON our streets
on Sunday, and more orderly and
peaceful Sabbaths than have been
known before in years in this city,
As practical temperance measures,
these two laws have done more for
Detroit than any other law in relation
to the matter which has ever been
placed on the statute books of the
State.-DetrOit Tribune.
