On motion of Mr. Randall, the rules
were SUI nded, and the order made for
the evening session, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of this week, to consider the
legislative appropriation bill, the House
then went into Committee of the whole
on the bill to provide for the deficiency in
the printing and engraving Bureau of the
the Treasury, and for the issue of silver
coin of the United States in place of frac-
tional currency.
The general features of the bill, and
principally of the section providing for the
issue of silver coin, were discussed pro and
con by Landers, Evans, Philips, N. s.
Burchard Bright, Hamilton NJ. Near
field, Page and Townsend. Randall fol-
lowed, and in the course of his remarks
charged that portion ofthe opposition to the
silver clause of the bill was due to Bank
note engraving companies, who, between
the years 1868 and 1874 had received over
IS, 900, 100000 from the Government.
A number of amendments were offered to
be considered as pending and ordered to be
printed.
Mr.. Speaker laid before the house sew
eral communications from the President ,
including a message vetoing bill for
the relief of j. A. Hyle of Missouri, and a
communication from the chairman of tho
board, on behalf of the United Stat es Ex-
ecutive department, at the Centennial, ask
ing for further appropriation as neoes-
sary to secure creditable representation
at the Centennial exposition.
Mr.. Speaker then announced as men,
bers on the port side Of the Red Cloud de-
| ticiency Conference Committee, Atkins,
Tenn, Hamilton, N. j., Hall, Me.
Caldwell, Ala, offered resolution which
was adopted, calling on the Secretary of
the state for additional copies of CORES
pondence with George T. Stuart, late
Counsul General at Shanghai.

RESUMPTION SLAPPED IN TIL
FACE.
The impeachment Articl,


by American Press Association.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Payne
bill, which majority Of the late Demo.
cratic caucus hoped would settle all finan-
cial difficulties and lead to an early resump-
tion of specie payment, received blow to-
day which makes any attempt to pass it in
its present form hopeless. 1t failed to get
even majority. The affirmative votes
were made up entirely of Democrats. Of
the negative votes sixty-three were Demo
Gratis. Many Republicans favored the bill
and with some changes would have voted
for it but as party caucus measure voted
against it.
The Sub Committee of the Judiciary
toek no additional testimony to day in the
Bclknap case but was engaged in the prepa-
ration of the articles Of an impeachment
which will be reported to the full committee
and probably to the House, tomorrow. The
articles were once prepared and and agreed
to by the Committee, but some alterations
were necessarily made in consequence of
| testimony that had been recently elected.
The articles will be much stronger than
when they:were originally drawn.
The Committee on foreign affairs will to-
morrow resume the Emma mine investiga-
ton. They will complete the cross-exam- :
nation of Ex-senator Stewart, and then
examine General Schenck If he shall have
sufficiently recovered to appear.

By American Press Association.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 27.-Disastrous
floods in the Mississippi are threatened
The river on Saturday, broke through Dev-
IFS Elbow, 30 miles above here, leaving that
place an Island, and saving twenty-five
miles of distance. The cut off was made
in eight hours, entering a channel half a
mile wide and ten feet deep. The gin and
smoke house Of DR.. Williams were taken
in by the water; also the residence of E
Massey, which residence is now in the
channel. The cut off runs for half a mile
through woods, water running at the rate
of twenty miles an hour. The Shawnee
and Halle bends are now reclaimed from
future foundations by which twenty thou
sand acres of land are above high water
mark. The fall of water after the braek
through the cut off was two feet in a few
hours. The cut off formed lake twenty
miles long. Island No. 81 being in the
middleofit. Coal tug Oriole passed through
the cut off yesterday without difficulty.
The river is rising rapidly. DEVILS Elbow

PINCHDACK'S REJECTION.

The u. $. Senate has rejected the sen
atoriat claims of Pinckbact bya vote
of 20 to %. Why he was rejected ,may
be found in the following remarks of
Senator Edmunds (Rad) pending the
motion:
The Pinchback case was then taken
up.
Mr.. EGlmunds said he supposed every
Senator was weary of the discussion
and anxious to come to Il vote on it. In
this particular case we are acting under
the constitution, which says that each
house is to be the judge of tho qualifica-
lions of its own members. We can act
not as partisans, not as politicians, not
as patriots, but as judges. He could
not conceive that any consideration but
the calm majesty of tho law should
guide the action of Senators in this
matter. He had, with chagrin, seen
some evidence of Il disposition to act on
this question from considerations which
were fatal. If then, we are to exclude
from the considerations of this qucs-
every idea as to what this mans vote
would effect if he is admitted, or what
the absence of it will effect if not admit
ted, then the plain, simple law of tho
luton is a full and complete DECLARE
ton of the admission of this man, for
the full term for which he was elected,
and il adopted would forcclosc any in
vestigation as to his rights afterwards.
But what is this priina tacie case: 1t
bears the great seal Of the State of .ou-
isiana. We know it is the great seal
for the same reason that we know
there is a Governor or Legislature in
Louisiana, or that there was no legal
constitutional legislation in North Car
DINA in 1868, but we are not to be shut
out from any further knowledge than
that it bears the great seal Qf the State.
We have tho same right to know that
there was legal Legislature, compe-
tent to elect, to know whether there is
one or two Legislatures. If Mr.. kcll-
opp, as he should call him for cOnvcn-
fence, had seen fit to certify to the cleo
ton of the person elected by the Nc
Emery Legislature there is not one Sen
atOr here who would have said but that
we had a perfect right to go behind the
great seal and inquire whether that
body of men are competent to elect. II
could not be known that it was Il pri,n;
| facie case unless the competency of tho
! legislation was proven.
Mr. Edmunds resumed his remarks
and discussed the legal aspect of the
case, maintaining by illustrations his
assumption of power and the duty o
| the Senate to consider wheth er thu
claiment was legally and duly elected

ALADY PROPOSES.

The ritusvillc (Pa.) Herald relates
this story: a timid young man was
visiting II beautiful young woman in one
Of our streets the other evening, when,
after a pause, she said, looking at him
closely, "Now, I want to propose to
you" "TOu are very kind" said
the difidcnt young man between gasps
and bushes, "but ! am not worthy Of
such happincss-and, in fact, none Of
our family are marrying people-be-
sides my income is limited-my differ
enccs' arc on the wrong side--l have
to meet Mr.. Smith, and Pm afraid I'll
be late" Then, without waiting to
put on his ovcrcOat, tie tried to make
exit through the door of cupboard
"Why,' said the young woman, lift
in. I,crryebrows in surPrisc,I wanted
You 10 accompany me to a friends on
Main street, "Dh, in that case" an
swcrcd the swain, "if your heads level,
aud the boot is on tho other foot, shall
only be too happy, but ] was afraid
that is, almost dared to hope-in fact, l
am subject to these seizures" and he
sat down on the coal scuttle, and said 1t
was 81 very cold day; hadn't seen suci,
weather since the Fourth of July.

Capt. Howe, OF Alabama, n Confederate
officer in the late war, and published
directly atter the surrender.-Ep. TELL
And this was man! imperious man,
Who laughed, detied and scorued
And this the chamber were the mind
Bright visions once adorned,
And this the socket, where the eve
Bespoke his immortality.
Aud here tho mouth, the fieshless mouth
Where music issued forth,
And there the snapeless nose, that once
Inhaled the scents of earth,
And here the ear, where joyous sound
Once made the happy heart rebound.
And this the Uranium, were reigned
The passions of the soul;
Yea! burning eloQuence and thought,
Too great for earth's control;
Twas here where Reason poised her:.,ylngs
Der Passions sleepless lightnings.
Yea! from this summit conscience sent
The thunders of its law,
And radiant thoughts like lightning
cleaned
Der all they felt or saw
Here glowing hopes once kindled bright,
Like frosty crystals in moonlight.
Here realms OF fancy rose and fell
Like rainbows in n cloud.
And cunning schemes and grand ,leSiy NS
With god-like power endowed:
Here love and hate and hope and ire
lmpaled the soul with wall of fire.
Twas here where Science lit the mind
10 track the solar hight,
To measure worlds and systems vast
And comets in their flight
Ica! darkly hroodins cvcrmore
On Laws phenomena and lore.
Twas here were subtle Falsehood chained

In cAnEers, rags and filthy dross,

And pointed to the far beyond
Where now, thou lone. deserted cell,
Which once was Rcason's throne.

Where is thy monarch fiowns
What silent? e'cn thy CHASTITY grin
Derides and mncks mo from within.
No tongue hast thou thy tale of love,

To utter threatenings on The bard

Still would live, endure the pain
Which, racks the human frame,
When sheer old age has lost the sweets
To which my youth lays claim:
I'd live, and yet know not why
dread thy touch. Mortality!
Grim spectacle, good night! my lump
Burns dimly in this midnight hour,
And thy cold, hollow grin doth mock
Ambition, fame and human power,
Since Death permits the worm to crawl
And revel in proud Reasons hall!
