The Arsenal Appropriation.

Positive information reaches US from
Washington that it is extremely doubtful
whether the present congress will make
any considerable appropriation for the
government works on the Island at this
session, The recommendations OF the
war department for this purpose comes
under the sundry civil list and has been
referred to subcommittee ofthe commit
tee on appropriations, consisting OF Hewitt,
of New York, who is pronounced oppon-
ent o. the government works at this point.
On Monday of this week Mr.. Hewitt
stated to friends of the government i'm
provements that he would not report
dollar for the continuance of the shops and
would not report sufficient amount pre-
serve the buildings already completed. lie
saidithat the government does not need any
shops for the manufacture of arms, that
they could be manufactured cheaper by
private enterprise. He further stated
that the water power could be made as
good as any water power but that there was
not water power in the country that was
worth having, or was at all times reliable.
Mr.. Hewitt is acknowledged to the best
informed man in the country on manutac-
turing statistics, water and steam power
but in this matter he has probably allowed
his preiudices and the great desire fol
economy which has possessed congress t.
influence his judgment. Our friends a
Washington are making efforts, with some
prospects of success. to have the com
mittee on appropriations report faVorably
on the appropriation notwithstanding tn
report of the subcommittee. They have
the promise of aid from quite numbe
of prominent democratic members of con
gress and it is to be hoped they will b.
successful. The committee on appropri
ations meets to-day and If they should re-
port favorably on the appropriation it wi
pass the House without doubt. Anon
those now in Washington laboring t
, secure this appropriation, is Charles Dun
ham of Geneseo, who probably has NOR
influence with congress outside of member
of congress, than any man in the state
He is confident Of success. although it
very difficult to secure favorable repor
in the face of an adverse report from
sub committee It was the opinion {
Hon. John B. Hawley that if Mr.. Hswi
reported adversely no appropriate
-, could be obtained.

JURISDICTIONS.

The result of the elections m Ohio
and Indiana are known. The strength
of the two dominant parties was at
fected bv two new elements, the
Greenbackers and Socialists. both of
whom. of course, drew their strength
from the Democracy and Republicans.
The main interest of the election cen.
tiers upon Congressman.
Indiana elects minor State officers,
Congressman, one-half the Senate and
all of the House of a Legislature,
which will choose United States
Senator for the term ending in 1879.
to gil the vacancy caused by the death
of Oliver p. Morton, now filed nv
Daniel w. VOORHEES, by appointment
of the Governor of the State. Her
congressional delegation in the present
House stands four Democrats and nine
Republicans.
The morning dispatches state that
enough returns have been received to
insure the election of the entire Dem
ocrat,c State ticket. Eighty town
chips heard from give Shanklin. Dem
ocrat. 9,1l4; Moore, Republican,
1857 James, National. 1850. The
The same places in 1876 gave for Gov
ernor, Democrat, 9.O71; Republican.
1919; Greenbackers, 339; Demo
cratic net gain. 3O4; National gain in
vote, 1,O46. The same ratio Of gains
will give q Democratic majority of
5000. and the aggregate National
vote will be 1900. Both parties claim
the Legislature.
Ohio elects minor State officers and
Congressman. Her congressional del.
egation in the present House consists
OF eight Democrats and twelve Re-
publicans.
The latest returns from this State
claim the following Congressman for
the Republicans: Garfield, Townsend.

Virginia is making gallant fight
for financial honor, but to sustain her
credit she is forced to submit to severe
sacrifices, and the "readjustors" find
in her misfortunes plausible pretext>
for advocating system of fiscal man.
agement that is closely akin to re-
pudiation, but is in some degree pop
ular. because it promises a reduction
of taxation. According to the report
of the auditor the revenue for 1S77-7S
is estimated at s2,65S,O14. against
81, 504. 1857 for 1897, an increase Of
Sl52.63l. But this increase in reve-
nue. is accompanied with decrease in
cash receipts. Virginia. under her
funding act and decision of her high
est court, takes overdue coupons for
taxes. Last year the coupons received
amounted to 1894. 434, but this year
the coupons paid in amount to 81 .2l5.-
500 an increase of S3ll ,O56 over last
year, and making the actual cash rev.
enue sl59,Ol5 less than last year.
Naturally this had the effect to depre-
ciate the coupons, and it is said that
brokers obtained them at sixty-eight
cents on the dollar and sell them to
tax payers at less than par and make
a considerable profit for all parties at
interest except the State. This is one
of the penalties Of mourning debt.

the people are unpatriotic enough to

A LADY's FIGHT WITH BURGLARs.-A spe-
clal dispatch 10 the New York Times from
Rochester, April -, sayS:-In the absence OF
Mr. A A. Hopkins, of the American Rural
Home, an attempt was made to burglariZe his
house about one o'clock this morning Mrs
Hopkins heard the burglars, took pistol from
under her pillow, searched the house i'm her
robe de mutt, discovered one burglar pacing i'm
the front hall, tried TO enter the sitting room
to alarm gentleman who was sleeping above,
but was apprehended by burglar, who fired
al her. In the meantime one of the burglars
escaped by the back door, and the other sought
his exit Mrs Hopkins followed him as closely
as the intense darkness permitted. He seized
her several times by the hair, but she broke
away, and when near the side door raised her
pistol and fired at the thief. He retreated to
the back door, but the plucky little woman fol-
lowed, and just as he was about to fire again
she emptied another barrel into his right arm.
The burglar dropped his pistol, exclaimed
- her, she's hit me in the arm" and
disappeared. Nothing OF value was secured.
The burglars made an Intellectual attempt to
chlorofOrm Mrs. Hopkins and her little daugh-
ter: Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins have practiced
pistol shooting considerably, hence her brave
defense against the two burly burglars. Mrs.
Hopkins narrowly escaped the two shots fired
at her.
