permit any one excepting members, to
enter the corridor during a secret ses-

Democracy Undisguised.

Washington, May 2.-The whole
question of the use of troops and federal
officials at elections for congressman,
will come up in the case of Eichoff,
contestant for Einstein's seat, New
York sitting member. Eichoff simply
bases his claim to Einstein's seat upon
the fact that he was defrauded out of
his election through the interference of
federal officials. The house elections
committee will make precedent of
this case at once, by summarily reject
ing Einstein upon the proof of federal
interference. A member of the Joint
committee said: "We propose to give it
to Hayes hot and strong after this.
There were lot of democrats who
were timid the last time, and allowed
the republicans to count us out because
they had the odds against us, but this
time we have the counting in our own
hands, and so suro as there is God in
heaven, every state will be thrown out
where these federal laws are enforced"
The above clearly defines the fight as it
will be made by the bourbons. They
are plying the party lash vigorously,
and hope to drill everybody into line at
the caucus.

A Neat Tobacco sp.culation-

New York, May "A special freight
train left the Pennsylvania depot at
Jersey City yesterday morning at 8
O'Clock, and which was to run through
to Chicago in "a hours, II hours less
than the usual time. The train carried
100000 pounds of tobacco, which is to
be delivered in Chicago this morning
on the contract. The reason for haste
was that the tobacco was not stamped
until May 1st commencing at midnight
in order to take advantage of the re-
duction in the tax which went into eff
feet yesterday.

Washington, May 2.-The talk of the
democrats to-day indicates pretty con-

army bill next week, modified to the
extent of the leaving out of the political

and making the sections apply solely to
the army. In this shape the democrats
profess to believe the bill will receive

WASHINGTON.
sENATE-AFTERNooN SESSION.

SENATE-AFTERNOO SESSION.
Washington, May 2.-Quite lengthy
discussion took place on Johnson's bill
amendatory of and supplementary to
the act to aid in the construction of
the Texas Pacific railroad, which was
finally referred. 1t authorizes the COM
pany to extend its line from its present
western terminus to Ell Paso, there to
unite with the Southern Pacific rail-
road. The lands granted to the former
are transferred to and vested in the
latter, extending along its portion of
the road. Each company is required
to complete its road within SIX years.
Provision is also made for other rail
roads to unite with these roads at
El Paso, the object being to form COM
plete lines to the Pacific from the gulf
and south Atlantic states.
Edmunds said this bill was so i'm
portant that public attention ought to
be drawn to its provisions, as it involved
not only grant of power to the Texas
Pacific railroad by name, but included
four or five separate grants of power to
railroads in Texas and Louisiana, and
authorizing the construction of rail-
roads from one point in state to an
other point in the same state. This
raised 4 serious constitutional question,
and he hoped the committee to which
the bill would be referred would care
fully consider it, as it proposed to give
millions of dollars in the way of subsi-
dies. He thought it had heretofore
been declared by gentlemen on the
democratic side, and so affirmed in
their legislative action, that there were
to be no more subsidies, and yet in time
of pnblic distress and at called ses-
sion of congress the bill was introduced
from that side and sustained by an
influential senator from Virginia, the
passage of which would saddle on the
treasury untold and unmeasured liabil-
tiles.
The senate continued discussion of
the bill to prevent the introduction into
the United States of contagious or in
fictitious diseases, and Garland made a
speech to show the constitutional power
to pass the bill and the necessity for
doing so. Something, he said, must be
done; the yellow fever was no ordinary
calamity to be dealt with. 1t would
require twenty years for the south to
recover what it lost by the calamity
last year.
The question was stated on the pend
ing motion, namely, to recommit the
bill to the committee with instructions
to report a code of rules and regula-
tions to carry the act into effect. 1t
was agreed to take up the question on
Monday. After executive session the
senate adjourned till Monday

Shot In Mistake.

A special dispatch from Flat Rock,
Mich, says: Philip Hughes, colored
laborer, was shot and fatally injured
last night by woman named Melissa
Paxton. The two were lovers, and
Hughes went to pay a Sunday evening
visit to his 'ladye faire,' and, finding
her asleep on a sofa, took a position at
her feet and commenced grinding out
doleful airs upon an ACCORDION. Sud-
denly the sleeping beauty awoke, and
at the same instant a revolver in her
hand was discharged, the bullet passing
through Hughes skull, entering just
above the eyes and lodging in the back
of the neck. Hughes fingered in an
unconscious condition until this even
ing, when he died. The woman claims
that the shooting was all a mistake, the
revolver having been accidentally dis
charged. On the other hand, it is as
serted that she was jealous of Hughes
attentions to another colored lady, and
fired at him with malice aforethought. "

MORTALITY IN INDIA FROM SNAKE.
BITES Readers will be startled to learn
that, according to q return published in
Januaryn1878, no fewer than 1000 hui
man beings lost their lives in India du-
ring the previous year by snake. bites
This lamentable sacrifice of life Is occa-
stoned not only by the cobra and kraft,
but by other deadly species, and nota~
bly by snake barely foot long, the
Ethis cari,aata, known also by the name
of Kupper or Foorsa. The effects pro-
duced by snake-bite vary according to
the species. Thus, the bite of the CO.
bra produces coma and speedy death.
Whereas the poison of Others, such as
Russell's viper, produces excessive pain,
commissions, and usually death. The
bite of the Echis ca,inota causes blood to
ooze from the pores OF the victim, who,
after lingering for week or more, sue
cumbs to the fatal poison. The num-
Der of harmless snakes is enormously
in excess of the venomoas species, else
the mortality would unquestionably be
greater, even, than 1t is; and it is to be
deplored that more strenuous measures
are not taken to eradicate, rs far as
possible, q tribe Of animals 80 deadly

Silver in Maize.

A letter was received from Pro-
lessor w. F. Steward, dated Bangor,
Maine, November 20. He has been ex-
amining and reporting on silver and
copper mines down in the old pine
Tree State,"' and is greatly astonished
at what he has seen during a brief tour
of exploration. He says: ''But got
here little too late, for the whole coun-
try is buried in snow, and the jig is up
for my work until spring. There are
indeed some surprisingly rich mines of
silver and copper in Eastern Maine. I
have examined and reported favorably
upon several of them, and my state
ments have set New England, from
Boston to New Brunswick, wild with ex-
element. My report upon the Blue
Hill copper and silver mines was pub
lished in the Boston Advertiser, and it
raised perfect stampede in the Bos-
ton stock market. I examined the
mine at Sullivan, Hancock County, last
week, and was simply amazed at its
richness. l brought away from that
mine box of specimens which are
literally white with native silver.
The ores in that locality are argentif-
erous galena, but as depth is attained
the galena gradually disappears and
shades into rich black sulphuret of sill

A Cheap Greenhouse.

The cheapest plan of erecting green
house, says the Germantown Telegraph,
is to dig out pit in side hill where
the upper end will bejust above ground,
and the lower end two or three feet
above ground, where the door must be,
with two or three steps down for an en-
trance. Wall up, roof the wall, and
cover the whole with sash, as in hot
beds, the sash having more fall-say
three feet IN width of ten, the house
being fifteen by ten. Erect in this the
stand of shelves, and when it is time to
take up the summer flowers, bulbs, etc..
store them here. The glass should be
covered with thick straw mats, which
can be removed even when the weather
is coolest in clear weather, for an hour
or two at midday, to get the warmth
and influence of the sun. At such
times ventilation also should be attend
ed to by slightly opening sash or two.

if the house is properly managed. The
summer is the time to make it and
have it ready for fall.

Time to Sell Wheat:

The advance in freights between Chi
cago and New York is having its effects
on the farmers of the country. Sever
al, who are able to hold, have informed
US that they will not sell until lake nav
igation opens next spring. Their spunk
is up, and they are determined to risk
the consequences. They would rather
lose 40 cents per bushel than to pay 20
of exto-tlon. About the probability of
the future price Of wheat, the Chicago
Western Rural says: "Wheat will not be
permanently lower than it is now.
The foreign demand will be more than
enough to exhaust our surplus, and
therefore prices will rather go up than
60 down. If we could hold on just Is
Us we'll as not, we should be in no hur-
