tagonism between Grant and Blaine; that
Blaine will accept the second place on the
ticket. / know that men who are nearest
to Grant, and who manage his canvass, are
industriously, but discreetly, giving out
that the ticket is to be Grant aud Blaine.
The Herald's Washington special denies that
there Is anything in the story that Blaine
will take the second place with Grant. DE
will not accept. under any circumstances
md is hostile 10 Grant because he Is a
thlrd-termer.
THE ERA IRIsH RELIEF FUND.
The Herald's Irish Relief Fund has
reached sta, 900. This amount includes
the subscription Of SIS. 900 from the Bank
Of Nevada. The Herald jubilantly says :
| The Pioneers Of California never did any
thing BY halves. and people trained under
tae cold conser vatism of the Eastern
| States have somesime thought that every
thing on the Pacific slope, from grapes to
hotels and earthquakes, is overgrown. The
men who have made an empire from
the ocean to the mountains did not lose
their hearts when they built palaces IS
s~torehouses for their gold.
CUTTING DOWN RATES.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
have announced a war of rates to San Fran
cisco for passengers and freight. Alter
to-day the rates for passage will be S75 for
first-class and S35 for steerage. In oppo-

THE FUNDING QUESTION.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The House Com
mittee on Ways and Means disposed Of the
funding question this morning. The rate
Of interest was decided in favor Of 3k per
cent, by . vote Of II to 2. The question
Of time was settled by q decisive vote of
IL to 1, in favor Of q twenty-forty bond,
interest on the bonds to be paid quarterly,
and they to be used in funding ives and
skies, amounting to about $500, 000, 900.
The Committee also decided to recommend
| that authority be given the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue two hundred millions of
4 per cent. treasury notes, redeemable at
pleasure. to assist in the reduction of the
nnual interest burden, in the name
proposed by Mr.. Kelly. 1t is believed that
this bill canno become a law. az there will
be q strong opposition in the House, and,
if it passes, the Senate will probably not
agree to it. A member Of the Senate Fl
nance Committee says his committee will
report in favor Of a 4 per cent. bond, and
that it will pass the Senate.
SWELLING THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.
The House Sub Committee ON Elections
has decided in favor of Donnelly, Demo-
crat, the contestant for the seat Of Wash
burne, Republican, Of Minnesota. Wash
burne had an apparent majority, but proofs
Of bribery IL fraud are abundant, and
they will be shown in the committees re-
port. A Democratic member Of the Sub
Committee said to-day that he believed the
action Of the committee would com meme
itself to lovers Of good government and
fair dealing throughout the CO untry.
SEEKING INFORMATION.
Mr.. Willis, from the Committee on Ed.
u~cation reported a resolution to the House
to-day, asking the President for informa-
ton respecting the pending negotiations
for a change Of the treaty between the
United States n China. Adopted.
h INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. ]. H. Russell, an undertaken from
Indianapolis. testified that there is great
/, restitution among immigrants in Indian
apolis. He mentioned an extreme case
where q family Of nine lived in a small hut
having but two rooms, and there WAS nc
furniture and nothing for a bed but a pile
Of straw and q blanket. He thought it a
shame and an outrage, both on the immi-
grants and people Of Indiana, to bring
these poor people to that State. He be-
heved the people Of Indiana generally,
were opposed to it, but thought some lead
ing Republicans we're assisting the move
ment for political purposes. Other testi-
mony was given tending to show that the
movement was political in nature and was
so understood by the negroes.
AFTER AN APPOINTMENT.
John Russell Young is an applicant for
the appointment as Minister to China to
succeed Seward, whose retirement is agreed
upon. Young'sffriends assert that wher.
General Grant was here during the Christ
mas holidays he told Secretary Evarts that
Young would be one Of the best men that
could possibly be found to ill the place.
The report lacks confirmation as yet.

bigamy bill declares that any man who
marries more than n woman is guilty of
bigamy. This provision does not extend
to any person by reason Of any former mar
riage whose husband or wife by such mar
riage is absent for Ave successive years,
and is not known to be living, nor to any
person whose lawful marriage has been dis
solved by the decree OF a competent court.
1t provides that in any case Of prosecution
for bigamy any person drawn AZ q juryman

in the practice Of bigamy or poiygamy, or
If he believes it morally, religiously or
legally right for q an to have more than

than n woman 1t also authorizes the
President to grant amnesty to offenders
against the Law for 0ffenses committed be-
fore January /. 1879. on such conditions
and under such limitations as he shall
think just, but no such amnesty shall have
