THE bill which passed the house of
representatives on Friday Nov. 23d for
the repeal of the resumption act was
reported to the senate on the Goth and
referred TO the finance committee. This
committee is composed of the following
senator's Morrill, chairman Dawes,
Ferry, Jones, of Nevada, alison, Howe,
Bayard, Herman, and Wallace. The
last three are democrats and all are be-
lieved to be opposed the bill. In fact
the members of the committee are re-
ported unanimously opposed to the
bill. This committee will doubtless
keep the bill until the end of the session,
but the regular session will organize at
once and the bill will come before the
senate then in its order The fact that
this session ends without action on the
bill in the senate, does not effect It,.

The New York Worlds Mexico cit,

THE New York Worlds Mexico city
correspondent, who seems to be a most.
careful portrayer of facts, writing under
date of Nov IL from the capital of
Mexico, gives it as his opinion that a
war between this country and Mexico is
inevitable, and must come soon. This
correspondent details at great length
his reasons for his belief in an ap-
preaching war The principal one of
these reasons is the hostility of Vallarta
toward the United States. Vallarta is
Diaz' Premier and is DESTROYS of be-
coming president of Mexico, and dem
agogue-like has seized upon the popular
feeling against the United States to gain
power. There is no doubt but that the
feeling in Mexico is for war, and with
a few leaders to carry them on, war will
soon be unavoidable. 1t seems that the
war feeling in Mexico is quite as much
for the purpose of overthrowing the
government Of Diaz as from enmity
toward the United States. The govern
ment at Washington is not a bit disposed
to engage In war it may be taken for
granted that if it does come the Mexi-
can boundary will not be very near the
Rio Grande when it ends.

A number of bills were introduced

A number of bills were introduced
land referred to appropriate committees
when consideration was resumed Of the
Kellogg case, and Mr.. Salisbury spoke
in favor Of recommitting the subject to
the committee on privileges and cleo
tons with instructions to take testimony
Mr.. Howe said Spofford made no
charge of fraud against Kellogg and
the returning board before the com
mittee on privileges and elections until
the 22d Of November, after all the
world had been advised that in order to
hurry Buffers case, it was necessary to
postpone 4Kellogg's case. ~ II 81
Mr.. Hill said Judge Spofford present
ed his charges and offered to prove
them in October.
Mr.. Howe said he took issue with the
gentleman and appealed to the record.
He defended the returning board, and
said 1t was no more possible for that
board to perpetrate fraud, when it ex-
amlned the returns of the election in
1876. than was Impossible for the supreme
court of the United States, to perpetrate
a fraud in giving judgment upon the
case which had been argued
Mr.. Hill argued that Spoford made
certain charges against Kellogg, and
offered to prove them, in October. He
then read the following telegram. which
he said had been handed to him to-day:

To Hon. John Ellis:
There is documentary evidence here

IN FAVOR OF SILVER AND AGAINST R

IN FAVOR OF SILVER AND AGAINST RE-
SUMPTION.
A Cincinnati dispatch dated Nov q.
says the national grange to-day adopted
the following resolution /: ''The national
grange, representing as it does the
agricultural sentiment of every part of
the United States, without intending to
infringe any feature of its organic law,
which forbids the discussion Of any
question Of party politics, believes it to
be not only its privilege, but its duty
to give expression to theuniversal voice
of its membership in condemnation of
all such legislation either on the
part of the general or state gov
eminent as tends to the injury Of the
great productive industries. In this
spirit, and with no purpose 70 take part
in the partisan politics Of the country,
we do hereby declare our disapproba-
ton of the law demonetizing silver, and
committing the government arbitrarily
to any, fixed day IN the future for there
sumption of specie payment, and do
therefore express our sympathy with
the effort now being made in congress
for the repeal Of these obnoxious
measures" .8rf g55f .II sae
The vote on the silver proposition
stood 9 to 81 That on anti-resumption
IA to 80. Both carried, the west and
south voting for and the east against.

DISPATCHES from ErZerOum dated
November % intimate that the Russians
are going into winter quarters near that
city. These reports are from Turkish
sources, and probably indicate what the
Turks want rather than what the Rus
slams will do. The same dispatches
report the snow three feet deep and
still falling, and this may compel a sus-
pension of hostilities, otherwise Michael
will, no doubt, make adesperate effort
to capture Erzeroum before going into
winter quarters

A French Brides Mansion.
$50 Paris Letter.

A fine sense of the luxury that at
present prevails in the furnishings of
expensive Paris houses may be gained
from the description of a few rooms in
the mansion inhabited by a newly
married Marquise. The bedroom is
draped in rose-colored velvet of the
most costly and exquisite texture, and
the furniture in that room is covered
with the same material the draperies
are relieved by exceedingly fine silver
chiselling the panels, which are dec
grated in the lovehest manner, are also
divided by silver lines the inner bed
curtains are of Venetian point-lace, and
the outer ones Of rose-colcred satin,
with the ar mortal bearing in silver. In
an angle of this charming boudoir there
is small reliquary and a golden lamp
constantly burning before it, Russian
fashion. Another room, kind Of pri-
vate parlor, near by, is hung with white
poult desire and here also are floods of
exquisite lace The whole mnst have
cost the income for year of 5000 Paris
WOrkmen.

GEN. SHERMAN was before the house
committee on military affairs for three
days last week, giving that committee
his opinion of the Mexican border
trouble. The plain spoken old war-horse
didn't try to screen any body or keep
any thing back for policy sake. He
said that 1000 troops with one or two
additional military posts, were sufficient
to afford Texas ample protection at
present. He did not seem to favor any
very savage war measure toward Mex
leo; but on the contrary expressed the
opinion that the Mexican government
was doing all it could to preserve the
peace on the frontier He intimated
that the Mexican officials were a little
like official in this country; very likely
to be carried along by popular feeling,
and that there was doubtless consider
able feeling in Mexico against the Unit
ed States and a desire on the part OF
many to inaugurate war. In reference
propoto the sition to establish a strip OF
neutral territory upon which both coun-
tries might pursue maraudering parties,
Gen. Sherman gave it as his opinion
that that would cause war between
the two countries in about three weeks

Black Oxide on Iron Surfaces.

It was announced many months ago
that method had been discovered of
forming black oxide on iron Surfaces
to prevent corrosion, or, in other words,
to make iron rust a protective to iron.
But it has been difficult matter to OBJ
tain uniform and firmly attached coat
ing of the oxide. Prof. Barf has re-
Gently explained the cause Of failure.
The wrought iron muff1e containing the
articles to be treated is heated to dull
red heat, and, all the openings having
been closed, dry steam is turned on so
as to keep the muffle full for two or
three hours. At the end of that time
the fire is withdrawn, and the articles
are allowed to become black in the steam
atmosphere. Lastly, the muffle and its
contents are allowed to cool slowly If,
however, the steam is not quite dry, the
results unsatisfactory. The heat of the
mutfle varies, according to the nature of
the objects to be coated, from $50 dogs.
to 700 dogs. c. Atmospheric exposure,
fresh or salt water, and nitric and sui
ph,lric acids have no effect on iron
protected by the properly produced
black oxide.
