The Stone Cutters Quit, But Agree to
Resume Again.

The stone-cutters and laborers at
the custom house, f~fty-seyen in num-
Der, quit work last evening, owing to a
misunderstanding about paying off.
The contractor, Mr.. Burns, had
agreed, it is stated, to pay them off on
the 18th of the present month. Yes
terday, upon his return from Washing
ton City, he called them up and paid
off to the first Of the month. This
was unsatisfactory to many Of them,
and they held a meeting and appointed
a committee to wait upon Mr.. Burns
and explain to him that they could not
resume labor this morning unless paid
up in full to the 10th instant. They
did not resume work this morning,
aud Mr.. Burns, upon rejecting over
the situation, as he states, agreed to
square of, whereupon the wOrkmen
consented to resume labor at noon to-
day. The men arc paid at the rate OF
from ST. % per day for laborcrs to $3.50
per day for skilled stone-cutters. Mr..
Burns states that he was not aware Of
their disgruntled temper last evening,
and hal he went home tired and
weary from travel and constant ser
vice. 1t is reported that the work Of
cutting aud preparing the marble for
the building has progressed very slow
ly, and not at all in accordance with
the desires Of the superintendent
From present prospects the work o.
erecting the blocks for the first
story will not be commenced
for several weeks, and will not b.
completed for months after the time
stipulated in the contract. The der.
ricks to hoist and lay the stone are
expected in a few days, but it will b,
useless to start this part of the wOrl
until enough stone is cut and Shaped
to allow it to continue without inter
mission. 1t is to be hoped that NOR,
vim and industry and better feeling
among all interested will mark tn,
progress of the enterprise from thi
time forth, and that the work be has
tened with all possible speed by thu
| contractors.

FORGERY.
Cheap Way to Buy Spring Suits.


Thomas johnson and Ed Cruitt
have been sent to Jail in default of
$1,000 bail, on a charge of defrauding
Julius Behr and Sole Halle of forty
dollars worth Of clothing. The pair
forged the names of Frank White,
John Bradley and S. r. Cruise, of the
Charleston railroad, and made up a
set Of bogus orders, representing that
the railroad company was indebted to
them to the amounts named. The
orders were accepted for clothing pur-
chased and the losers caused johnson
and Cruitt's arrest. Cruitt appears to
be c hayward youth of not more than
sixteen years of age. He is the scion
of an old and highly respected family
of North Alabama, and his head hangs
low in modification over the trouble
he has brought upon himself. John
son appears more self-possessed and
has perhaps had greater experience in
crime than his youthful coadjutor. A
number of perssns have interested
themselves in the case Of Cruitt.

Chattanooga, Nashville, Vicksburg
and New Orleans.

Washington News.

COurier-Journal Special
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Re-
publicans played their little game of
dilatery motions in the house to-day,
to defeat the introduction of bills
during the morning hour, but, when
the hour had thus been used up, they
learned that a means of getting bills
before the committees had been sue
cessfully adopted. 1t was to change
them into the character of petitions,
and thus present them at the desk
and have them referred, which is a
right that cannot be abridged. Quite
a number of bills, especially on the
finances, were thus sent to commit
tees. Among the general lot was the
Texas and Pacific bill, presented by
Mr.. Chalmers. Mr.. Stephens offered
several bills on the silver question
and had them referred to the commit
tee on coinage, of which he is chair
man, and which under the amended
rules has, with the banking and eur
rency committee, the right to report
at any time. 1t was significant that
most of the bills for a change in the
silver law, or from what might be
called %soft-money men, were, by those
who offered them, referred to the
coinage committee, as it is considered
a more liberal committee in that
direction than the banking and cur
rency. Chairman Stephens said to-
day that by the end of the week the
committee would report to the house
for action some bill either for bullion
certificates or for increased coinage of
the silver dollar. After the morning
hour had been consumed in the house,
the speaker recognized Mr.. Monroe
(Republican, Ohio to offer a resolu-
ton declaring that there should be no
financial or tariff legislation passed at
this session. Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois.
said that he was in favor of a change
in the tariff, but, recognizing that the
business interests were mostly injured
by Intellectual efforts to change the
tariff, and as it was far from likely
that any change could be made this
session, he would like to amend the
resolution 50 that it should be under.
taken. This amendment was accepted.
but the resolution received eight votes
less than a majority, and it would have
required a two-thirds vote to pass it
There were seven Democrats who
voted for the resolution. So far as the
tariff was concerned, the resolution
would have received a big majority
but the feeling is strong and ther,
should be some legislation on silver
and tO-day's vote may be called a test
or what it will be on a silver bill whel
it comes I'D for action.

Queer Legislative DOings in Lon
isiana.

The action of the legislature Of the
State of Louisiana in passing an act to
repeal the charter Of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company has been announced in
the papers; but it appears that the injury
intended to an institution which has paid
by contract hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to keep the doors of the far-famed
Charity Hospital open for the sick and
suffering cannot be accomplished. The
Supreme Court of the United States has
always maintained that the s%anctity OF
such contracts cannot be violated, and
hence, for twenty-five years from its or
ganization in 1868 it will continue its
work of usefulness and b%cnevolcnce. The
Louisiana State Lottery Company draws,
next month, its lOSth monthly grand dis
tribution at New Orleans, and an applica-
ton to NJ. A. Dauphin, postofice box 692,
New Orleans, will secure any information
desired.
