pears only too we'll founded. Bills by
the thousand have been introduced,
and the trivial character Of most of
them render the incompetency of the
average Legislator painfully apparent.
While old business houses that have
withstood the financial shocks and vi
cissitudes Of business for half century
are tapping into the abyss of ruin that
yawns to receive them, the Senate
wastes weeks in discussing a resolution,
which, whether passed or defeated,
does not change the existing situation
one iota. only amounts to an expression
of opinion The House meantime has
about dropped all pretense of transact
ing the public business, and its leading
committees arc preparing to devote
months of the precious time to the
petty business OF drag-n net investiga-
tions, with the hope Of securing par
tizan advantage. For this purpose the
junk shops of our large cities are again
to be turned inside out in search of a
dispatch that may seem to criminate
some official. Thousands of dollars
hundreds Of thousands, probabl will
be spent in flooding this city with out
laws who have fed to the frontiers for
safety; men scheming to be revenged
for their dismissal from an Office they
had disgraced; tramps limiting that
they have something damaging to tell,
will be provided with free excursion
tickets from and to remote sections Of
the country; their witness fees will
amount to more In 3 months than all
they ever possessed in life time, the
fruits Of honest labor. The prodigal
waste Of money of two years ago in
this way Is notorious. We are to have
it this winter on a more extensive
scale. The vote on the Matthews. reso-
luton has made the silver men conf
dent of their ability to pass the Beand
bill or its equivalent over Presiden
tial vote. The gay birds OF fashion
are all 10 hutter over the numerous
balls, Aettledrums, marriages, etc. in
prospect where they can display their
dry goods and paste jewels, and Jen-
kins stands ready to write them into
Immortality for one soft glance from

A QUEER CAsE.-Frank G. Phillips
OF New York, who claims to be the
son of wealthy widow of that city,
was arrested in Cincinnati, Saturday
night. Phillips is charged with shoot
ing Belle Curry. woman of ill-repute
living at Lizzie Homan's, a notorious
house in Chicago. Phillips has, 1t
seems, been some two months in this
city, and has been living with the
young woman Curry at Homan's house.
Miss Curry, it seems, some time since
attempted suicide at her home in Day
ton. After that she went to New
York, and Phillips returned with her,
taking rooms at the woman Homan's
house. Saturday night at about 7
o'clock two shots were heard in their
room, and the woman was found lying
on the bed bleeding from two shots in
the breast. The woman insisted that
she had done the shooting herself
while Phillips persisted in saying that
he had done it. He gives himself up
to the officers.
Phillips is young, we'll dressed and
very gcntleman-like in manners and
conversation.

Near Kitty Hawk.
NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 3l.-At $50
this evening the steamship Metropolis
from Philadelphia for Para, Brazil
went ashore on Currituck beach, three
miles south of the lighthouse, during
the prevalence of a furious south-eas
gale. Great confusion prevailed or
board owing to the fury of the gale
and the roaring of the surf. The or.
ders of the officers could not be heard.
About fifty of the passengers anc
crew were washed ashore; about two
hundred are known to be lost. Frou
some of the sailors who arrived at one
of the signal stations it appears thai
the vessel had encountered heavy
gales from the southeast for the las,
twenty-four hours, and when she struck
she was heading about south by south
east. She swung broadside to the surf
which made complete breach over
her and washed many of the people
overheard.

The Chief Signal Officer has order
ed one of the operators at Kitty Hawk
station to SO at one on horseback as
the scene of the wreck and open the
telegraph station there and forward all
information as rapidly as it can be OBJ
tanned. The wreck is about twenty
miles north from Kitty Hawk station.
The Metropolis had sailed for Brazil.
She was dispatched by contractors for
the Madeira and Mamore Railroad and
carried 200 laborers, 500 tons of rail-
road iron and several mails for Brazil
The steamer was commanded by
captain Ankers. Paul j. White, for.

LONDON, January Mr.. Forster,
10 advocating his amendment to the
vote of credit. arralgned the recent
foreign policy Of the q Government, and
declared that they were not entitled to
this vote as vote Of conGd ence, and
did not need it for any interest Of the
country Mr.. Forster spoke an hour
and half. Mr.. Cross, Secretary of
State for the Home Department, fol-
lowe! Mr.. Forster. Mr.. Cross said
Mr.. Forster's speech Was intended to
create feeling that there was war
party in the Government, which de-
sired credit in order to apply it to war
like purposes. This imputation be
distinctly denied. He also declined to
admit that the vote was intended as a
general vote of confidence. All the
Government asked was that the money
should be granted which might be
necessary, and that it be given in full
confidence that it would be used if ab-
solutely necessary.
Mr.. Bright lamented Sir Stafford
Northcote7s tone in giving notice Of
the supplementary vote. He had
spoken as though the freedom Of the
Christian provinces Of Turkey were
opposed to the interests Of England
Mr.. Bright hoped that G6,00O,0O0
would not be used to restrict that free
dom He thought that the terms Of
peace contained nothing that should
alarm the people.
The House was very lively during
both Forster's and Gross speeches,
aud there were cheers and counter
cheers from either side Of the House.
In the House of Lords, Lord Derby,
in reply to question, said he had no
information concerning an armlstice.
He had just seen Count Schouvalof,
the Russian Ambassador. and he had
none. Lord Derby said the Govern
ment's first care would be to secure a
settlement of peace with the concur
renee of all European Powers, and
when the terms of peace were known
they would received the deepest and
most earnest consideration of the Gov.
ernment, one of whose obvious duties
it would be to secure, as far as possible,
equal justice to Mohammedans and
Christians.

Tensl0nS FOR Survivors OF the Mex1-
can and other Wars.

AsHINGToN, Jan. 27.-The House
Committee on Invalid Pensions has re-
ported favorably ill granting pen
slons to certain soldiers and sailors of
the Mexican, Greek, Florida and Black
Hawk wars. The bill is in substance
the one passed by the House on the 4th
OF Januaty, 1877, with the exception
OF the fifth section, which repeals that
section of the srevised statutes which
prohibits the payment cf pension to
any one who participated in any man
ner IN aid of the late rebellion. It is
estimated that 81, 800 600 will be re-
CURED to meet the requirements of the
bill. The number of enlistments en-
rolled in the volunteer armv of the
Mexican war was 1000 men. There
have been pensioned as invalids of the
Mexican war 1000 men, and the
committee is of the opinion that not
more than 5000 or 1000 soldiers of
that war are surviving without pen-
slons. The following estimates APPROX
Innate the numbers covered by the bill:
Surviving citizen soldiers Of Mexican
war '.''''.'.......... .............. 5000
- 'uo ''...:' -. ......''............... 1000
souls:v!ns solulefS regular army. 2,70O
Surviving soldiers and widows of
Black Hawk war. ono
Surviving soldiers and widows of the
Geek and Seminole wars. 2 5oo
This number will receive pension
at the rate Of s. per month, or s96
per year, a4giegating $1,286.4OO per
annum, which cum will be constantly
decreasing. The survivors of these
wars average SO years of age, and in
the ordinary course of human events
cannot be expected to live more than
fourteen years longer. Seventeen or
eighteen millions Of dollars can be dis
bursed In the payment oftDese pension
ers for period say thirty years.
