Pruning the Peach.

The peach is remarkable for the free
growth of its new shoots after severe

when in leaf than any other of our

THE SENATE.
SESSION OF 2S HOURS.


South Carolina has but one Senator
and Louisiana has none. There have
been several disputed cases before the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections and the Committee was
ready to report on the case between
Kellogg and Spofford Of Louisiana, In
tending Immediately to take up the
case between Corbin and Butler OF
South Carolina. In this condition OF
affairs Thurman of Ohio moved on
Tuesday of last week to discharge the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
from the consideration of the creden-
tials of M. c.. Butler of South Carolina.
This was to take the case from the
Committee and bring it before the Sem
ate before the Committee reported on
the Kellogg-SpoffOrd case, giving 1t
preference over that case. In the
course of proceedings it was soon as
certained that Patterson of South Car
DINA and Conover af Florida, Repub-
Leans, and Davis of illinois, would
vote with the Democrats, giving them
a majority. The Republicans intended
to defeat this or delay it till the report
of the committee on the case Of KEEL
logg and Spofford could be brought
before the Senate and give it the
preference. From Tuesday OF last
week till Tuesday OF this
week Humans motion or resolu-
ton has been before the Senate. On
Monday the committee reported on the
Kellogg Spofford case-the majority In
favor of Kellogg and the minority in
favor of Spofford. Objection being
made to the consideration of the report
it went over till Tuesday. The Legis-
latiye day commencing at noon it could
not be taken up till noon. The Demo
Gratis being determined to pass Thur
mans resolution the session was con-
tinued till night, and all night, and TIL
noon and after, when it was decided
bv the chairman, Mr.. HOar, that the
Legislative day could not terminate
till an adjournment took place, and
the Democrats would not adjourn. So
the Legislative day of Monday and the
session of the Senate continued till
Thurmans resolution was passed and
for forty-eight hours. Before adjourn
ment Thurman moved that Butler DC

rules, and Edmunds gave notice that

A fatal accident occurred on the
Western Union railroad obout 212
miles east of Burlington on Saturday

workmen commenced to repair cul-
vert having sufficient time tc'do 1t be-
fore the coming of a regular train. A
flag was raised on the road a. full hall
mile distant but the engineer Of an e1-
TIA freight train did not heed. it,, prob
ably supposing the only obstruction to
be the hand-car which the men could
readily remove as had often previous
ly been done in like cases. The work
men having but just commenced, on
hearing the whistle, commenced to lay
down the rails and had almost succeed
ed there being but a very short space
without rail when the engine reached
it. The engine in place OF jumping
the space jumped the rails and was
ditched killing the engineer, MI. Liddle.
A coroner's inquest was held the re-
suit of which was the finding that the
engineer came to his death III conse-
quence of there not being flag at the
proper distance. The verdict not Civ

visited the place Of the accident and
upon obtaining further information ex-
pressed dissent from their first finding

came to his death from the fact that
the train was not properly tagged,
was incorrect.

THANKSGIVING.

THANKSGIVING.
Another year has revolyed around
since the last National and State
thanksgiving. And as the season has
come round the President Of the Unit
ed States and the Governor Of Wiscon-
sin and the Governors of several other
States, realizing that there is cause for
thankfulness and mindful Of the Gus
tom, in some places Of long standing,to
appoint and set apart day to give it
public expression, have appointed and
set apart to-day for Thanksgiving.
The several proclamations will an
sWer their purpose very well. None
of them however are unacceptionable
Governor Ludington's is as good as any
which we have seen. In some respects
it may be considered a model procla-
nation: In others it has it's faults and
shortcomings.
The Governor says:
During the year now drawing to q
close the Lord Of the Harvest has
again visited the earth and crowned it
with His goodness. He has again
turned His face from our sins and
given us the blessings of peace"
Our sins are all remembered and
will receive a full retribution.
The Governor, after saying that he
appoints Thursday the goth instant as
a day of Thanksgiving and Praise con-
tinues, and recommend to all the
good people Of the Commonwealth
that on that day they remit their &C
customed employment, and in their
usual places of worship and around
their family fresides, devote them
selves to such exercises as shall befit
a prosperous and grateful people-a
people who acknowledge their allegi-
ance to Him in whose hands are the
welfare Of men and the permanence of
States"
Just what the the Governor means
by the good people is not clear.
Whether he means those only who
claim to be good, or those who in fact
are good,er all the people, is not clear.
The Governor does not recommend
the good people to meet in their usual
places Of worship though he may have
intended to do so. His words are Gin
their usual places of worship and
around their family fresides." Their
usual places Of worship may be the
church, the home, the closet, the work
shop, the Office, the cabin, the berth, OF
wherever one is in the habit Of eXer
cising his religious nature Governor
Ludington may or may not have real
lied that many of the people have nc
usual place of meeting for worship and
no family freside. But whether he
| did or not he embraces more of the
people than is usual in proclamations
unless he meant Limitation by the
word good.
! In this place, instead of meeting il
their usual places OF public worship
the Baptists, Congregationalists and
Methodists have usually met together
with but small attendance, and viii

PIATTS RAWLINGS IN PRINT.
CABINET CONFERENCE.-THE oFFENsE TO BE
PUNISHED.
lBY rKLKeRAPH TO THE rRIBUNR.l


lBY rKLEaRAPH THE rRIBUHRl
WASHINGTON Feb. 19.-The President called the
Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, and the
AttOrney-General to conference this morning for
the purpose of considering what, if anything, is to
be done concerning the publication of very ipdis-
Greet, not to say nfammatory article in The Sunday
Capital. an extract from which was teegraphed to
THE TRIBUNE last night. During some discussion
as to the authority of the Executive to take ;ogn-
zance of incendiary writing, it admitted that
under ordinary circumstances the press of the
United States rightly enjoys extreme freedom, and
that dangerous to liberty and to personal character
it has sometimes shown ITSELF it is best that this
freedom shall continue. 1t agreed however,
that the article in question was beyond the limit
even of ordinary license, and was calculated
to infame popular disturbance apd endanger
the peace and security of the city well as the life
of Gov. Hayes should he be declared President of
the United States. 1t was therefore decided that
the Government ought to take notice of this article
and hold the author amenabe to the law providing
for the punishment of persons melting rebellion.
The act which it was held had been violated is Sec
ton 1884 of the Revised Statutes of which the
following is a copy:
Every person who incites sets foot assists or en-
Cages In any rebellion insurrcctlon against the au-
hory Of the United States the laws thereof gives
aid or comfort thereto punished by mprison
ment not than ten years. or by fine OF not more'
than O0O by both OF such punshments and shall
be incapable OF holding any Office under the
United States.
1t was determined to procure indictments under
the common law, which, by special enactment is in
force in the District of Columbia. The particular
offcnse for which the indictment will be found will
be that of libel. The indictments have already
been prepared, and Will be submitted to the
Grand jury which is now in session, as
soon as possible. The present Grand Jury
is about equally divided between Republicans and
Democrats but it is not expected. if the ohense is
shown to be unquestionaby ndictable, that any OPP
position will be found to presentment. The Presi-
dent very earnest in the matter and is determined
to bring the wrterof the article in question punish
ment if there is any law authorizing it to be DONE
rumor is ahOat this evening that one or more OF
these articles. for there were several of the same
character. was written by prominent Cincinnatian
not regularly connected with Col Piatt's paper. Ii
such is found to be the case. it Is possible chat
Joint indictment may be found against this gentle
man and Col Piatt under the statute already
quoted.
