XLVI. CONGRESS-.
HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA.
The House met this morning for de.
bate only, and was addressed by Mr..
Bright, OF Tennessee, on the subject
of funding the public debt. ls gen
He attacked the money oligarchy
which had for 90 long time dictated
legislation, and to- the rapacity OF
which there appeared 10 be no bound
or bottom /; that money power had Sc
cured the passage OF the acts OF
1859, 1871 and 1876, the latter being one
of many assaults upon Treasury notes.
He argued that the legal tender act
was perfectly Constitutional, and
quoted authorities in support Of his
argument.
Mr.. Finley (Ohio), followed with a
speech in favor of the bill for the
equalization of bounties.
Mr.. Hayes Ill), discussed the
money phases of the financial ques-
ton, stating however, that he hoped
that for one session at least, Congress
would cease all attempts to change or
the people wanted no more
Congressional tinkering with the cur.
reDcy.
Mr.. Ballou (R. I.) spoke in favor of
the repeal of the Legal Tender Act,
and in defence Of the National Bank
system. .........
Mr.. Joyce (Conn,) spoke In opposi-
ton to the reciprocity treaty between
Canada and the United States.
Mr.. Myers (Ind.) spoke in favor of
the bill introduced some time ago ~
himself for the retirement of NatlonsI
Bank notes. .
At o'clock he'House adjourned.

to represent the Postofiice Department
in the case Of the Louisville Lottery
Company against the POstm aster al
that city for Withholding letters ad.
dressed to the Common wealth Distri'
button Company, per order of the
Postmaster General. This is the same
case which was recently argued in
that city, but owing to the illness Of
Judge Hayes no decision was rendered.
A reargument of the case will be
heard before Judge Baxter.
The sub-Com mittee of the House
Elections Committee met to-day and
decided to make no written report In
the Donnelly- Washburn MINI esota
case. but each mem Der should verbally
state his views at the meeting Of the
full committee on Tuesday next, at
which time a vote will be taken. 1t
is stated on authority, that there will
be a majority and minority report cub,
mitted TO the House. 1t is believed
the majority report will be In favor of
Don nelly. b. r& " p
The Senate Census Committee held
a session of four hours' dnration to,.

examination of voluminous papers re-
latiDg to the nom nations OF y number
of Census Supervisors for the South,

Georgia contested case OF Rev. II. J.

ONE Of the most fagrant acts of po.
lltical rascality ever perpetrated has
just been committed by the House
Committee on Privileges and Elections
Washburne, a Republican, was elected
70 Congress from one of the two
Minnesota districts, defeating Igna-
thus Donnelly, blatherskte of the
first water, by thirty.five hundred
msjority. Dounelly contested and
the Committee has just decided In his
favor. As piece OF partisan unfair
ness this Glands without a parallel.
It is done In view OF the fact that the
election OF the next President may
come before the House, and the un-
seating of Washburne would leave the
the delegation from Minnesota a tie,
and thus neutralize that State. 1t is
an act similar In character TO the ef-
fort to annul the late election in Maine,
and ought to damn every man who
votes for II.

STARVING IRELAND.

LIvERPooL, Feb. 14.-The Loud
correspondent OF the Liverpool Courier
says: Assurance is given me 10 day
that the stateme Mt OF the intention OF
Baroness Burdette>C Coutts to devole
a hslf million pounds to ameliorate
the distress in Ireland is true. Con-
tradictlons OF this statement have been
made In some of the London daily
papers, but the fact Is BILE.
The money will not be given in aims,
but will be invested In the purchase
of lands In the districts of Connemara
or Galway, to be afterwards let to small
tenants at easy leases and moderate
rents. A com mittee of Irish GENTLE
men interested in agriculture is asso-
cisted In the scheme.n
LONDON, Feb. 14.--Shaw Lefevre
(Liberal) member OF the House of
Commons for Reading, will in com
mittee move as an amendment to the
Govern ment bill for the relief of the
distress in Ireland, to leave out the
restriction OF two months as the time
during which outdoor relief must be
given. He will also move to insert in
the bill new clause to give tenants
eJected during the present year for
non payment OF rent the right to
ciaIm compensation for the disturb
sncs OF tenure under the provisions Of
0Iaustone's Land Act of 1870.

A correspondent of the Charleston
Netes and Courier writing from
Johnston, s. e., under date of 10th
inst, says:
Rev. Il. G. Teasdale, ID. d, OF Knox
Vile, Tenn, began a series of SER
mons here Sunday morning. He
breaches morning and evening In the
Baptist Church, and while he has only
been here two days, IT has grown to
be anxinteresting meeting. Quite a
number OF persons have already de-
-termined to join the church. DR.. Teas
dale preached in Charleston in 1854;
conducted protrected meetings two
weeks or more, when a great many
persons Joined the church. In 1856
he was at Edgefield, where be bap-
tized nearly one hundred people.
While this great evangelist is " years
of age, his hair is rs white as snow
and his voice sOmew hat weakened, he
has lost none of bis fervor. DR., Teas
dale is writing book, "Reminis-
cences and Incidents of a Long Life"
which will probably not be published
for year yet.

East Tennessee as "a SUNNI OF Resort,
We wish to direct special attention
to the card of Mr.. Jas. r. Ogden,
General Passenger Agent OF the K. t.,
Va. g. Ga. Railroad, to be found else
where; calling upon parties through
out East Tennessee who are preparing,
and can prepare, to accommodate sum-
mer visitors for the coming season, to
inform him, giving full particulars, at
their earliest convenience, in no case
later than the 10th Of March.
This Is q matter OF vital
interest and importance 10 every
citizen OF this part Of the State
who Is able to furnish such accommo-
dations, and we hope they will give
the matter their attention and furnish
Mr.. Ogden with the information de.
sired.
1t is useless to say that East Tennes-
see, as a summer resort, stands almost
without o rival, that is an ac'
knowledged fact, 1t is also very self
evident that the residents of the
Southern cities, subject to epidemics,
will be seeking summer resi-
dences early during the com.
ing season. 1t was demonstrated last
season that ample accommodations
can be furnished all who come If a
little effort Is put forth. We have all
the necessarles for their entertainment
among us and preparation before hand
is all that is needed. Mr.. Ogden is
taking great interest in the matter,
and is doing great work for East
Tennessee, in inducing the coming
among US OF these Southern pleasure
and health seekers, and we hope our
people will second his efforts, by CIV
ing him the desired information, so
he may know just what to calculate
upon.

pubiic Ech0OI M Getting.

A meeting of the teachers and Dis.
trlct Directors Of Knox county con-
vened at the court house yesterday, as
per announcement previously pub.
lished.
The meeting was called 10 order by
the County Superintendent, F. NJ.
Smith. w, r. Murphy was chosen
Secretary.
The object OF the meeting was
mainly, to. select place for holding
the next normal school.
Knoxville, Concord, Fancy Hill and
Walnut Grove were putin nomination,
and the claims aud advantages
of each place urged by their
respective advocates. Messrs. Nc
Lemore, Cox and Caldwell
favored Knoxville on account of Its
central position, railroad and market
facilities, etc.
Messrs. Rsgan and Bussell spoke in
favor OF Concord, mostly on account
Of the success of the school there last
year.
w. r. Murphy was for the best
place, wherever 1t might be, but had a
feeling in favor of Fancy Hill.
Messrs. Thompson, McSpadden and
others advocated the claims of Walnut
Grove.
The general feeling of the
meeting seemed to be against
Knoxville as a place for normal
schools. The hurry sud hustle OF the
city would embarrass and distract the
rural mind from the quiet pursuits of
text books, and then the people did
not have the appreciation for normal
