HoUsE-Bills were introduced as follows |: By MT. Willis, of Kentucky, to establish all tolls on Louisville and Portland canal by MT. Baker, of Indiana, to so amend the re- vised statutes as to prohibit the manufacture by convict labor of articles which shall enter into competition with skilled labor by MT. Townsend, of Illinois, to repeal the duty on medicine and drugs and place the same on the free list by MT. Frost, of Missouri, to repeal the laws authorizing the employment of mar shals and supervisors at the polls.
 The morning hour having expireed Mir. Weaver asked to be recognized to move to ton to the refunding of United States bonds The speaker recognized MT. Coffrotb, who was directed by the Committee on Pensions to move suspension.
 Mr. Weaver protested and intimated that the Speaker had not adopted that rule until a third party appeared in the House. The Speaker said he would enforce that rule with reference to any party. At the last session the House had indicated it's approval of his decision. He then recognized MT. Coffroth, who offered 8 resolution for an evening ses- sion to consider pension bills.
 The hour of two o'clock having arrived, MT. Hunton demanded the floor for the Dis trict of Columbia Committee. The rest from that committee.
 Among other bills was one imposing several penalties for publishing lottery advertise ments in the District of Columbia, which ex- cited a good deal of interest, as it was the first time the question has been discussed in the House. The lottery men seem to have many friends in Congress, who opposed the bill. It was pending when the House at APO adjourned.

A Young Inventors Desperate Act.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 16-Josephus Echols twenty three years old, native of West Point, Miss, committed suicide this morning in his room at No. 23 Washington Place, by cutting his throat with a razor. The house is large boarding house kept by Mrs. Ann Holland. The chambermaid went to Eohols room at 10 o'clock this morning to get some things which she had left there last night, but found the door locked on the inside. Looking through the key hole she SAW Echols lying on the bed covered with blood and razor firmly grasped in his right hand. Word was sent to the po- lice and an officer was sent to break open the door. On entering the room it was found that the man had been dead for at least two hours The floor, bedding and walls were spattered in fact he could cut no deeper, for the razor had struck the bones. From papers found in the room it was learned that he had graduated from the West Point, Mis- sissippi, Military Academy five years ago. He has been endeavoring to perfect philosoph- ical machine, for which he had applied for 8 patent. In 1878 he received a patent for an improvement in indexing books number of letters from friends in Mississippi, one of which was from his brother, indicated that the young man was in very poor circumstances. It IS said by people in the house that, al- though poor, he was honest, and it is gener- ally thought that his pride drove him to conl- init the act The coroner gave orders for the removal of the body to the morgue. The relatives of the young man will be communi- cated with.
