Senator Bayard's Resolution

A PROPOSITION TO FAvoRABLY REPORT
IT TO THE SENATE LOST BY A TIE
VOTE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The Senate
Finance Committee, at a special meet
ing this afternoon, took up for action
what is generally known as the Bayard
resolution. A discussion of about an
hours duration ensued, at the end of
which Mr.. Bayare submitted motion
that the joint resolution be reported to
the Senate with a recommendation for
passage. a vote was Immediately taken
on this motion, with the following re-
suit: Yeas-Messrs. Bayard, Herman,
Wallace and Morrill,. Nays-Messrs.
Voorhees,, Beck, Ferry and Allison.
Absent, Mr.. Jones, of Nevada. The
motion was therefore lost by tie
vote.
At the suggestion Of Mr.. Bayard it
was then agreed by common consent
that in view of tue known sentiments of
Mr.. Jones, his vote should be consider
ed cast against the joint resolution; and
that it should accordingly be reported
back to the Senate adversely" The
report will probably be presented by
Mr.. Allison.
The votes were taken to-day upon
the amendments proposed by MIR. But
Ter, Of South Carolina, to make the date
of the repeal prospective (January l,
1850, and by Mr.. Pendleton, OF Ohio,
to provide that United States notes shall
not hereafter be available for the nation
al bank reserves, but these, with various
other amendments, will doubtless be
offered and fully discussed when the
joint resolution comes up for action.

A Great Crowd of Depositors Seek to
Prove Their CLAIMS.

Boston, Nov I9.-The Insolvency Court
room was, this afternoon, thronged with la
dies, young and old, to prove their claims
against Sarah e. Howe, president of the de-
funct Ladies Deposit Company, and yet one of
the prosecuting officers present remarked that
not more than two in one hundred of the de-
positors were present. The ladies nearly all
appeared to be in well-to-do circumstances,
there being very few whose appearance indi-
Gated struggle with poverty. Judge McKim
presided, and on the case being called. Mr..
Elder, representing $50 claimants, moved that
the court at once appoint an assignee, as in the
case of an insolvent insurance company or 9TH
er public corporation. He argued that it
would be impossible to prove claims at that
hearing, as required by law in the case Of indi-
the exclusive attention of the court for
months, simply to decide who of the hundreds
of claimants were entitled to vote for an as
signee.
The court at first ruled that those who
wished might present their claims at the pres
ent hearing, and that an assignee might be APP
pointed subsequently. But objection was
made to the first claim presented, on two or
three technicalities and the court, finding it
would be possible to investigate and allow or
disallow but small proportion of the clai ms
presented at one hearing, decided to at once
name an assignee, who should take full charge
of the matter. Judge McKim therefore ap-
pointed Augustus Russ, Esq. remarking that
if necessary he would increase the number.
Mr.. Tower, counsel Off Mrs. Howe, and repre-
senting 800 depositors moved that Mr.. Russ be
required to give bonds. The court stated that
that matter was provided for by statute and
the hearing was closed.

One of Gen. Garfeld's Escapes

Gen. Garfield tells this story showing how
he once narrowly escaped becoming humor-
Gus speaker. 81 had at one time quite an itch
ing in that direction, and carried it so far in
the campaign of 1860 as to make speech that
was pronounced by those who heard it as fun
ny il was delivered, / believe, in Columbus,
Ohio, and was published quite widely, and the
comments of the press called a good deal of at
tention to it. l had up to that time, not made
a wide reputation in the States, but the fiat
tering notices of this speech brought me into
considerable prominence, and | received a
large number Of invitations to speak.
thought the matter over, and saw that the
time had come when must take my place in
the field either as man of wit or as a man
who dealt with subjects more in the way of
matter of fact. 1 said to myself that 1 could
gain quicker and probably wider reputation
as man of humor, or a funny man as 1T is
now called, than as a man who discussed sub
iects after the usual matter-of-fact way; but
knew myself well enough to understand that
L could not hold out long in the former direc-
ton, and when / had failed as man of wit,
could not then begin to discuss in matter-of-
fact way. 1t was a good deal of struggle, as
think of IL now, but l determined to repreSs
the wit, or the attempts at wit, and so accepted
an invitation to speak in Cincinnati, and pro-
ceeded in the most prosy way possible to pre-
pare speech on the issues If the day. There
was large crowd to hear me. They expected
to have something after the Corwin stamp 1
was fully aware; but l didn't permit myself to
indulge in single humorous allusion; and a
more disappointed audience it was never my
good fortune to address. I heard some of
those present talking the matter over after the
meeting had closed and made such remarks
as i don't see anything very funny about
that speech L thought that fellow was the
coming Tom Corwin;' 'he must have left his
funny vein at home;' etc. 1 never had any
funny reputation to contend against after

Sad Drowning Accident.

Attorney Staples was drowned near her resi-

left the house early in the evening as was sup
posed to go to a neighbours but not returning
enquiry was made, and as she had not been
seen search was made through the night with
out avail, but this morning the body was
found in stream not far from the house. Ii
is supposed that she committed suicide, though
it is possible she may have been forced over
the bank wall into the water by the sudden
squall which came up after she had left the

Kate Fields Musical Monologue.

Jennie June thus writes of Kate Fields re-
turn to America: Miss Kate Fields arrival
after four years absence abroad is an interest
ing event, and the warmth of her welcome has
left little time as yet to devote to the prepara-
lions for her forthcoming entertainment. She
is, however, in no haste. The illness of an
intimate friend detained her two months be-
yond the time at which she expected to reach
America, and almost spoiled the winter for
work. So she will wait the movements of
her agents, and, in the meantime, visit with
her friends, and enjoy the bliss of being in a
free country once more. This may sound like
a joke, but it is not so intended. The brill
liant Kate is patriot to the toes of her small
boots. believes devoutly in republican institu-
tiouSsaDd the evangelical mission which this
country h, S to accomplish, and finds no COM
pensation in acquired glory flor absence from
her native land. But she is in no hurry to
rush before the public her entertainment is a
good one and will keep short time, while she
gets acquainted afresh with her surroundings
1t may sound like an affectation, as she re-
marks, to say that the tone, the habits, the
manners here seem strange to her, but it is

is a rumor that her entertainment and her de-
sire to see home and friends are not the sole
reasons for her return-that she has been offered
excellent backing if she would undertake the
management of city theatre, and that she
has the matter under consideration. 1 wish

ergetic and capable manager. We have no
woman in that position, and New York GER
tainly ought to have one.
