Especial to the Cincinnati GaIette,l
WASHINGTON, January l0.-This was
field day in the House. The amnesty
bill occasioned the first political debate
Of the session, and it caused the promi-
nent leaders OF the respective parties to
be pitted against each other. Blaine
crossed lances with Randall and Cox, and
the friends of both parties claim the VIC
tory. 1t came about in his way: Di-
rectly the morning hour had ended, Ran;
dali moved to bring UP this unconditiOn-
al amnesty bill for debate without amend
mept and passage. Blaine warned him
last week that the bill could mot pass
without opportunity TO offer amendments.
His warning was fulfilled. Randall, un-
mindful OF Benton's apothegm, that the
essence Of all legislative action is amend
ment, pressed the previous question,
which would cut Oft amendment. 1t
was useless to contend against num-
bers, and Blaine reserved his parlia-
mentary skill fora later stage, The pre-
vious question wax ordered by l59 yeas
10 95nays. This represented about the
vote by which the bill uli imately failed to
pass, il having received considerably less
than two-thirds. Having secured the or.
dering Of the main question, Randall was
proceeding to dispose Of the hour he sup
posed he had, when hc discovered that
Blaine had convinced Speaker Kerr that
lhc rules did not ALLOW him the time. The
bill was then brought to ayote and failed
q pass, not receiving tRo.thifds. Then
iollOwed as fine an exhibition Of parlia.
mentary fence aS is often witnessed.
Blaine was quick upon his feet and moved
10 reconsider. The speaker was compel.
cd to recognize him, and the motion cut
the surprised Randall of at the knees
Blaine thus secured the hour which Ran.
dali had refused. him, secured Il by his
aptness. in parliamentary rules, and
not by any courtesy of the Dem.
ocrats. His speech was rs remarka.

the manner in which he had attained an
opportunity to deliveriE II was one Of
the most terrible philippicst thathas beer

Cox characterized it as o red and fiery
speech. It%as redand fiery, in that i

it's singular that we are not interest
cd in Mardi Gras! New Orleans, Mem
phis and Louisville will have it on q
magnificent scale. King Comus has is.
sued his proclamation at Memphis, and
his subjects will attend from adistance at
half fare. When he holds his leyees
thousands will rally round his banner
and defend him with-a bag OF meal.
Can't we get up diversion in thest
times that try financiers' solesf Our the
atricals are on the wane. Where are our
fun loving people? Have they become
hold on Quaker! Where arc the flowers
OF the present generation? Do they moi
fear the Fun Kings anger? Can't we
have grand parade on the day that
dawns only every fourth year, for the
benefit OF our maids2. Or do they. fear
that the greatest Of all crowns, King Co.
mus, will retain the keys OF the
city and beseiging u.s.. starve us out!
He can't do it; there are too many nails on
hand.
Can't we have meeting soon, and dis
cuss the matter? The "Nail City," near

Coon RBoLurioNs.-The subject Of
this sketch is mild.eyed boy, one whose
nature Is not really perverse, but by long
and continued bufietings with the rough
side Of the great social world he has
learned TO love the wine in It's redness,
and would now and then slip an oath or
two, but he did not want TO be bad. That
indefnable feeling which all young men
experie1ce more or less, q feeling thatto
do rights the only true wayto live, had
a quiet harbor in his breast, and oftimes
he was moved to nurse it. Yesterday
while crossing Market street in state OF
swimming inebriacy he slipped upon the
car track anl was miraculously saved by
slipping just far enough 10 escape
the crushing force Of the iron wheels.
When he regained his feet he stared
wildly about for a moment, and then
moving off he muttered: ~ resob (hic)
j do resob on and after to-day, never
(hic) to drink another drop. Nor l.
why how'r you Jack, old boy, let's take q
nip and the young man, with the words
OF hissnew resolutions still lingering on
his lips, entered saloon and washed
them down with whisky straight in
company with companionable Jack.

] C1NuSsArr, y January II THE decision
in the Home 4 iHubbell whisky case,
which has been on trial here for several
days, was renderedsin the United States
Court to-day, rcsuldngin ID favor ofdefend-
ant. The seizure was made last May on
the ground that certain barrels Of spirits
reported;by this frm'ns emptied for rec.
tifcation were afterwards found in
Charleston, South Carolina, and had not
been emptied. Several other lots spirits
were in the same category, but though
the examination Of the firms books show
ed that they corresponded with the bills
of lading, and all the evidence presented
failed, to disclose any dealings in crooked
whisky, il. was clearly shown that the
tax had been paid on all the barrels upon
which the above mistakes had been made.
All the members Of the firm and their
employees testified positively that the
firm had never dealt in any illicit whisky,
as the firm is an old, respectable one. The
verdict gives general satisfaction in this
community.
