INNoCENT.-..M Monday after
nosp about three o'clock the
neighborhoood Of Sandy and
St Charles streets was astonish-
ed at the report of pistol shot,
not over half a mile from the
vicinity. The noise made was
nearly as loud as that made by
shooting a bomb out of a NOR
tar. The "beaks" were at once
on the alert and visited the
house where the pistol was sup
posed to have been fired. The
inmates all looked wise and in
nocent and averred that they
knew nothing about the firing,
although the beaks, could smell
the burned powder. That's all.

THE SUGAR REFINERs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.--The reiners and inn
porters of sugars had another hearing to-day
before the ways and means committee. Theo-
sive re6ner in New York. and the Austrian con-
sui, argued the duty on sugar should be collect
ed on the 0d valorena principle, and that no
discrimination should be made against any
class of citizens. Legislation should encour-
age labor and capital to afford the people sugar
protected by tariff which approximates to
free trade and leaves undisturbed the relative
value OF sugar as when purchased at places of
production. He opposed one rate of duty. as
it would annihilate the refining interests Al.
legations of frauds against refners, circulated
by those in favor of one duty, had been dis
proved.
William T. Booth, of New York, said the
sugar refners should be protected. The value

WASHINGTON. Jan. l0.-The Potter commit
tee, on motion of Mr.. McMahen n, orders an in
vestigation of the cipher kilograms, and re-
quests tho House to grant an additional appro-
priation for the expense.
When the resolution was offered by Mr. Nc
Mahon Gen. Cox, of Ohio, in behalf of the
Republican members of the committee, said it
was well known that the policy of the minority
has been to leave the majority to act upon the
matter without pressure or interference from
the minority, and in conformity with this
course he would ask to be excused from voting
on MIR. McMahon's resolution, but would not
oppose it.
The resolution was then adopted by the votes
OF all the Democratic members. Mr.. Butler
was absent. Other Republicans did not vote.
Repres entatlve Reed thea moved the COM
mittee spread upon its records and make public
the communication addressed to the chairman
some time ago by Mr.. Shellabarger as counsel
for Secretary Sherman, embodying the affidavit
OF one st. Martin, who was assistant sergeant
alarms for the subcommittee in New Orleans
last summer, in which affidavit st. Martin ac-
cused himself of having bribed negro witnesses
to recant statements made by them before the
returning board in regard to intimidation, ETC.,
and also confessed violation of duty in neglect
ing to summon witnesses called by Republi-
cans and making false returns of mot found
LII ItSdIu W buCQ Witnesses. IllS
moJion of Reed gave rise to discussion,
in which Blackburn and Mcmahon insisted that
the Republicans ought to call st. Martin as
their own witness aud see if he would testify
to these things it being understood that he is
already under subpoena from the committee.
but the minority claimed that the fact of St.
Martins having made such confession should
be placed upon record entirely Independent of
the question whether he would be likely to re-
iterate it before the committee. They also
argued that it would be perfectly competent
for any member to call him for cross examina-
ton Immediately after the proposed reading of
the affidavit.
Pending discussion the chairman suggested
that as there was no stenographer present it
would be we'll to postpone action until to-
morrow, and an adjournment was ordered &C.
cordingly.

THE SENATORIAL BATTLE.
Both Houses of the legislature having adj
journed till Monday evening, there is sort of
truce in the Senatorial battle, which will
doubtless last till Monday evening. Careful
politicians who claim to be posted give the fol-
lowing figures of the candidates at the present
time: Keyes IS, with the possibility of 40;
Howe 80; Carpenter Is; balance scattering. All
the candidates are 10th to give the names of
mentioned, the principal among these being
ex-Congressman Sawyer and Horace Rublee.
A daily paper was started here last evening
called the Herald, in the interest of Senator
Howe. A rumoI is prevalent that Carpenter
supporters have broken and majority of them
gone to Keyes. The rumor cannot be traced to a
reliable source. Th= caucus for the election of
United States Senator will be held next We'd
nesday evening.

VIEWS OF GEN. SHERIDAN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Gen. Sheridan has
addressed letter to Gen. Sherman on the
Burnside army bill. He says: II have carefully
examined it and give to that portion which
covers the general administration of the army

asked, I cannot give it my cordial support. I
think the present organization good and well
suited to our western frontier. think it UNI
fortunate to diminish the cavalry strength. The
