The way the carthagenians work 1t.

There was row at Carthagena o few days
ago. A bill was before the Legislature to
promote the opening of the Dique conduit be-
tween that city and the MagdaIena river for
the passage of large ships, and it is alleged
that the people Of Barranquilla, the rival
city on the Magdelena, sent $4,000 with
which to bribe the members Of the Legisla-
ture to defeat the bill.
The Carthagenians, learning this, brought
the tOTtiter I'M re argument to outweigh the
$4,000 method OF pursuasion, and the iegisla-
tors were frightened into a passage Of the

Cabinet Meeting.


WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-The Cabinet had q
short session to-day during which the Presi-
dents message and the reports of the exec
utive departments to be transmitted to Con-
sEress at the extra session were considered.
These simply cover the deficiencies, It having
been determined to introduce no other busi-
ness save recommendations as to representa-
tion at the Paris Exhibition of 1878. The gen.
eral deficiencies will reach $2,500,00O and on
the army bill about So, 200, 600.

to have It as short as possible; and. with that
view. no business except as already stated will
be submitted for legislation. Influential mem

of making the extra session rs short as POSSIBLE.
So far as the military bill IS concerned no
delay should oeeasioned, as the bill il for an
appropriation for the fiscal y. ar alrea ~ far
advanced. and there will be no necessity to pro-
long its consideration, as it was fully decided
upon at the last session of Congress. and disa-
greement was upon an amendment to limit the
use of military power in the Southern States.
As that state of affairs no l. niger exists thera
will be no occasion for insisting upon the
amendment.
The deficiencies are for expenditures within
range OF the existing statute, and therefore
there can be no objection to them.

Congressional Probabilities.

New YORK, Oct. 12.--The Graphic's Wash
ington special says that there appears to be a
well-defined plan on the part Of some Of the
Democratic Senators to take advantage of the
other Republicans, who will not be present at
the opening OF the session, to reorganize the
Senate and elect new officers, which, under
the rules, can be done at any time by a ma
iority vote.
Caldwell. of Alabama candidate for the
clerkship of the House, is said to be the man
fixed upon to succeed Secretary Graham, in
case he is not elected clerk OF the House.
1t Is said that Conoyer, of Florida and
Booth, OF California, will vote with the Demo-
votes theiDemocrats will have at least three
majority, and will have one, assuming that
Davis, of Illinois, will vote with the Republi-
cans. Bayard, White and other Democratic
Senators are very much opposed to any such
action, on the ground that they will get the
control of the Senate honorably in two years,
and that any such violent movements would
bring disgrace upon the party. 1t is probable
that their opposition will prevent the scheme
from being carried out.
A $50 Counterfeit.
Requests from all parts of the country having
been received for a description of the $50
counterfeit note discovered in Baltimore yes
terday. and purporting to be on the Central
National Bank, Of this city. the following is fur
nished: The engraving on both sides of the
note is very cleverly executed, the only psrcep-
tible flaw being the displacing Of the bandage
covering the eyes of Justice. on the back of the
bill; this. instead Of being over the eyes. is far
up on the forehead, revealing the eyes under
meath. The paper of the counterfeit note is
somewhat thicker and cut shorter than the
genuine.

SIMON CAMERoN's State convention had
not the courage in the platform which it
adopted, and which publish in full in
another column, either to approve or con-
denim the civil service policy of Mr. Hayes,
nor had 1t any opinion to express on the im-
portant question of Congress voting enor-
nous subsidies to rail- oaG corporations. OF
course the Cameron clan, which has mo-
nepolized the government patronage i'm this
state, is hostile to Hayes circular prohibit
Ing otfice-holders from personally nterfer-
ing in election campaigns, and the conven-
tion rebuked Mr.. Hayes by treating his
boasted civil service reform with studied
contempt. The subsidy question, how
ever, is one that promises to occupy a
prominent place at the coming session of
Congress, and It is therefore the more re-
markable that the convention was afraid to
show its hand on the subject, though it
was not afraid to damn the Presidents
Southern policy with feint praise. This
Southern policy, about which so much has
been SAID and written, and to which the
Democratic party was pledged long before
-
tia! candidate. consisted simply in the with.
drawal of the Federal troops from the
Southern States ia which they had been
quartered by Grant, thereby leaving the
people free and untramrled in the manage
ment of their own affairs. They were re-
moved by Mr.. Hayes from South Carolina
and Louisiana, where they had only been
used to prop up the tottering governrrents
of Chamberlain and Packard. The wisdom
of the policy has been fully vindioatcd in
its results. and the country approves it. 1t
is all onplished fact and the Republican
military method of governing tine Southern
States can never be restored. II is there

SAVED BY A CAT.-Some time ago the
wife of MIR. Alfred Davis (who was drown
ed with his two sons last Friday evenin o
In Nansemond R;ver) was confined to her
room with protracted sickness, and such
was the poverty of the poor man that he
was unable to procure the necessary nour-
Ishment for her. Indeed, as Mrs. Davis
related the case, the wants of the family
must have been of the severest and most
trying nature, the family subsistine for
several weeks on po atOeS and salt alone,
During the sad indisposition of Mrs. Davis
ana her pressing want for delicate food. a
common house cat went into the field and
caught young hare and brought it to the
mousse. Mr.. Davis took the hare and made
1t INTO soup for his suffering wife, which
caused rapid improvement in her condi-
ton. The day following the same cat
again set out on its mission of charity, and
succeeded in catching partridge, which
was likewise brought to the house and de =
iivered as was the hare. And thrs il was
through the instrumentality of the cat. the
iite OF this unfortunate lady was saved from
absolute starvation. The facts of the
above can be substantiated as correct. and

MYSTERIOUS MURDER. A mos. remark
able murder is puzzling the detectives of
Allan a, Georgia, just now. Some time
since the headless body of white man was
discovered in the woods near Americas.
Ga. The body was entirely naked, and the
clothes had been burned. The head had
been partially cut off at the neck by some
blunt instrument, aud then twisted off as
one would twist the head off chicken.
Tue neck bones of gristle prOtruded two or
three inches above the shoulders. The
head was not to be found. 1t was impos-
sibe 10 discover who the murdered man
was. There was no one in the neiglIbor-
hood who was missing, and no strangers
had been IN that section for some time
At length a clue came to light. A piece
OF the shirt of the murdered man, hardly
an inch square, with the edges badly
scorchcd, was found. y negro man recog-
niZed 1t as piece of checked shirt belong
ing TO one of three station cigar-nskers
who had settled in the village some months
before the murder aud left a few davs be-
fore the body Was discovered. Inquiries
were put on foot, and it was discovered
that two of these men had reached Savan
nah, but that the third was missing.
Steps are being taken to arrest the survi
vors and see if they can give any clue as
TO the whereabouts of their comrade.
