CONGRESS

| The Senate adjourned yesterday morn
ing alter eighteen hours session, in passing
the 'scount bill" until this morning.
In the House, the Electoral Count bill.
which hadsbeen received from the Senate
was..taken from the Speakers table, re-
ferred to the Special Committee on Count
ing the Electoral Vote, and Immediately
reported back to the House and read, III
order to prevent amendments being Of
| fered, Mr.. Payne entered motion to re-
commit the bill. He stated that the pre-
vious question would be called this after.
noon at two o'clock. The bill was then
advocated by Messrs, McCrary. of Iowa,
Hunton and Goode, of Virginia. Hoar, OF
Mass, and Hewitt of New York, and OPP
posed by Messrs. Hale of Maine, and
Monroe, of Ohio. A recess was theh ta-
ken. In the evening session Messrs.
Caldwell. of Tennessee, Stevenson, Caul
field and Springer, Of Illinois, and Will
lard, of Michigan, supported the measure
and Messrs. Smith, of Penna., and Gar
field, of Ohio, opposed it. At the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Garitield's remarks the House
adjourned.
1t was believed in Washington yester-
Gay that the Electoral Count bill would
pass the House by the votes Of three
fouths of its members. Should the bill
be passed this afternoon, as contempla-
ted, it will be laid before the President
tomorrow morning. AS the measure in
wolves constitutional question, it will,
in accordance with usage, be referred to
the Attorney General for examination be
fore the Executive acts upon it. 1t is not
believed that the Attorney General will
interpose any objection, and, as the
President yesterday repeated his approval
of the bill. there can be no doubt that it
will speedily become a law.

Reported Compromise Between
Spantards and Cubans.

HAVANA, January 21, via Key West
For two days report has been cur
rent, and is credited by many Spani
ards, that an arrangement has beer
entered into between the Spaniards
and Cubans, as follows: Peace de-
clared and autonomy granted to the
island, Spanish Captain General to
remain fo1 five years, after which the
governing power is to be elected by
the people also that Martinez Cam
pos would come here, accompanied by
Maxine Gomez, the latter to receive
the position of Mariscal decampo in
the Spanish army. Similarreports, or
reports hinting at such an arrange
ment, have been whispered about for
a week. All these reports may be
mere fabrications, but SO many promi-
nent persons give credence to them
that they seem worth communicating.

OREGON and Mississippi.

WASHINGTON, January 24.-The ex
animation of Laswell, one of the demo
cratic candidates for presidential ecteI
in Oregon, at the late election, was con.
cluded by the senate committee on priv.
leges and election to-day. His testimony
corroborated that of previous democratic
witnesses. Mr.. Lee was examined in re-
lation to the Mississippi case. He was
the republican candidate for Congress in
the First Mississippi district at the late
election. His testimony in substance
was that the democrats carried his state
by fraud and intimidation.

No Corner i'm Potatoes.

Canses of the Searcity-1he Small Deal
ers More Scared than Hurt.
For some timepastagood manytradesmer
who deal in potatoes in small way have
been accusing the big houses of medita
ted "corner." There is reason to believe
that their worry is wholly gratuous. L
potatoes are unusually scarce and prices
unusually firm, there is more charitable
explanation.
Mr.. 9. P. Woodwork, one of the heay
lest dealers in the city, said yesterday:
"There is no design to "corner" pota-
toes. The weather and the hard times in
the South and the West Indies are re-
sponsible for the scarcity. Besides the
leading dealers are holding large lots Of
early Rose Potatoes for the spring plant
ing; and the potatoe bugs sand the drought
together made big hole in the crop.
There have been many wrecks on the
coast; harbors have been frazen and
trains showed in. There are now ten OF
twelve vessels laden with potatoes locked
up in Vineyard Haven. With mild wea-
ther, potatoes will come in, and prices
will fall"

Only Twenty-Five Cents
Who TakestheNeXt?

There's wandering genius
around the Central Market who
has for sale an article described
by him to the public in loud
tone, as follows:
"Gentlemen, British noble
man invented this article, and
he spent eighteen years think
ing and experimenting over it.
You will observe that it is a
glass-cutter, a can-opener, Il
knlte-sharpener, Putty-knife, a
sclssor-sharpener,a jack-knife, a
nail-cleaner and bread-knife
combined. 1t is light, durable,
compact, beautiful and conven-
lent, and the price is only twen-
ty-five cents. Who takes the
next?"
He was talking away yester-
day forenoon, when a hard
handed son of toll approached
and asked to inspect one of the
articles.
The man explained its merits
and uses, commented on its diff
ierent uses, and added:
"You want one, of course?"
81 guess not" said the farmer.
"Why?"
ooh, it doesn't seem TO be of
much USE %
"Great spoons! but haven't
| explained to you that it can
be used for eight different pur-'
poses? What more can YOU
ask?"
"Well, it seems to me that
you ought to have a corn-sheIler|
hltched on to it somewherep
slowly replied the agriculturist,
and he laid it down and walked
away.

It Pays.

Richmond Register The mer.
chants Of Richmond who did the
large business last year are those
who advertised The most extern
sively. One hundred dollars
spent in judicions advertising is
worth an immense deal to every
live business man. The best evi
dence to us that advertising pays
is the fact that numbers of men
who put in short advertisements
last year are taking more space
this. 1t pays; they know it,
while their slothful and less en-.
terprising neighbors sit down and
do nothing, and constantly COM
plain of hard times. Try it just
for once, Mr. Holden tight, and
our word for it, your business
will rapidly increase. Indeed,
there's nothing like it.

Iof weil-informed railway men,
under circumstances the moes
disheartening, in times of pan
ie and financial depression,
with home resources and credit
only. They have at last sue
ceeded in making a start, and
lin such enterprises the start is
always the most difficult part
of the undertaking.
Maj. w. j. Sykes has con-
tributed largely to the raising
of the necessary stock subscrip-
itions.
DIR. r G. Mcclure, the Pres
ident of the company, Col. j.
A. Lewis, of Lewisburg, ard
John Frierson, of Columbia,
the latter the contractor for the
track and equipments of the
road, deserve special mention
for their untiring efforts and
their able management in bring
ing about the completion of the
road, and it is expected that
they will gradually extend tie
road at least to Fayetteville and
Huntsville, as it will give that
part of the country a valuable
connection with our markets at
Nashville.
1t may be well to remark that
the road has also been material
ly aided by the management of
the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road Company, and that with
out the financial assistance fur
nished by President Standiford,
it would not be completed to-
day. The Duck River Valley
railroad will be a valuable feed
er TO the Louisville & Nashville
and will also material
ly benefit the business interests
of Columbia.-American.
