THE RAILROADS.
Progress of the Work of Opening the Snow
Bound Avenues.

Progress of the Work of Opening the Snow
Bound Avenues.
The work of clearing away the snow drifts
on the Sioux City division of the St. Paul &
Omaha line, though being prosecuted from
east and west with large and well-equippied
forces of laborers, is not likely to be complet.
ed before Saturday night. The snow in the
cuts is compact and has to be shoveled out,
and there is an immense amount OF 1t left in
the cuts, although the warm sun of the last
two or three days has reduced the depth OF
snow elsewhere.
When Keene, Wednesday night, declaimed a
certain familiar line Of his part
as Richard Third, it struck a railroad
man in the audience that the actor might be
credited with 'sgag" in compliment to the
road which brought him out Of the Wisconsin
snow drifts the day before and after the act
he was telling his companions of it. "Why,
what did he say9" they asked, and the answer
was, ssNow by the Milwaukee & st. Paul the
work goes bravely on!' Then they smiled

Yesterday forenoon with twelve carloads OF

Graceville and vicinity have been sparing OF

for lack of fuel was learned of. The road (the

Mr.. Bean, chief clerk of the railway mail
service, estimates that the mail matter de-
livered at the st. Paul postoface by the trains
arriving from the East Wednesday morning at
thirty tons. It included about seventy bags
of papers and seven of letters for the st. Vim
cent route, which were assorted and made
ready for the next train, and also about one
hundred and fifty bags of Manitoba mails

by sending number of distributing clerks to

The Legal Tenders Deposited to Retire Cir
culdti0n.

cuIation.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Up to the close of
business at the treasury department to-day
Secretary Window hadn't rendered a decision
on the pending request of national banks that
they be allowed to redeposit United States
bonds in the treasury and withdraw the legal
tenders recently deposited for the purpose of
retiring circulation. Secretary Windom's con-
yersation on the subject to-day referred to the
question as one of vital importance, land said he
was most desirous of having it determined at
the earliest possible moment, but owing to the
great pressure of business he had not yet been
able to decide it. Inquiry made of officers of
the treasury as to the authority upon which
the present regulations of the department rest,
ELECTED many varying opinions. The comp
troller of the currency stated the question had
never before been before the department for
decision, and that in no case where bonds had
been deposited to retire circulation had legal
tenders been surrendered. Other very
prominent officers expressed the
opinion that during ex-Secretary Bristow's
administration the question was orally decided
against permitting the surrender of lawful
money deposited. The officers referred to
maintain there is nothing in the law which
will authorize such surrender and that the
statutes expressly provide for the mode Of
procedure, which has invariably been followed
BY the department, namely, that deposit of
lawful money once made to retire circulation
can't be surrendered but must be held until
expended in redemption of the circulating
notes of the bank making such deposit. Orig
inally it is stated national banks were not per-
mitted to take out new circulation until
its deposit of lawful money for redemption OF
its circulating notes had been entirely eX-
hausted. Legal tender notes deposited to re-
tire circulation of national banks are not laid
aside in the vault of the United States treas
ury, but enter into the cash credit, being given
in the books to account for redemption OF
notes of the railroad depository, and the notes
redeemed being paid from cash and charged

on the assembling of the Senate, a message
from the President was received.
Senator Pendleton offered resolution pro-
viding for the organization of standing COM
mittees. The resolution was read subject to
an election raised by Senator Anthony. After
reading the resolution, Senator Anthony
moved that it be printed and lie on the table,
subject to being called up tomorrow.
Agreed to.
Senator Pendleton then offered resolution
fol the organization of select committee,
which was disposed of in a similar manner.
The Senate then went into executive session,
and when the doors were reOpened adjourned.
SpeculdtiOns of an Imaginative Reporter.
WAsHINGToN March 10.-There is consid,
cradle dissatisfaction among some of the Dem.
ocrats at the places assigned them, and good
deal Of grumbling in caucus. When Camden,
of West Virginia, was proposed for the finance
committee, there was great Indignation. Sen
ator Camden is connected with the Standard
Oil company, is president of national bank
and represents the bond interest The Demo-
Gratis in their caucus declared that to put him
on the finance committee was simply giving
monopolies increased power. After some fuss
Camden was taken off the committee. The
Democrats have no intimation from Malone,
but most of them give him up to the Republi-
cans. Republican Senators openly declare
their purpose to reorganize when
ever their vacancies ale filled. If
the Democrats crowd through the present
organization, and this is generally construed
to mean that Malone has indicated to the Re-
puhlicans his purpose to vote and act with
them, the feeling among Democrats to-day
is that they will not hold the organization
long even if they get it.
ANOTHER CAUCUS.
The Democratic Senator'S who remained at
the capital after the adjournment have been
notified of another caucus tomorrow morn
ing. 1t is rumored that leading Republican
and Democratic Senators have conferred, with
view of arriving as a settlement of the
organization question amicably, and the
matter will be acted on tomorrow. The
chairman of the Republican and Democratic
caucuses have been in consultation this after
noon.

five days, and secured the valley from the
Mills to the Hot Springs, but met with in
different success, game being very scarce,
and what there was was wild and hard to
get within reach of. A few snipe, ducks and
rabbits were killed, but these only served
to keep them in fresh meat. Just before
making preparations to return a ivan
came in sight. Mr.. Powell tried some
small shot on 1t without effect, when Mr..
Clark elevated his fowlipg piece. loaded
with buckshot. and brought the majestic
bird to the ground, an act OF splendid
Workmanship. The swan, being only
winged, was brought to town alive, but on
examination it proved to be badly hurt
and was killed. On the return trip Mr..
Clark also killed q coyote, which, the party
inform US, was over 100 yards distant, and
this Is q feat seldom performed with . shot
gun. The weapon with which this remark
able shooting was done is a La Fevre,
manufactured at Syracuse. New York, and
is held in high esteem by the owner. The
weather was very cold In Newark Valley,
and on Saturday the party experienced
much difficulty in keeping warm. The ex-
cursion otherwise was pleasant.

Turbulent Tombstone.

The Tucson (Arizona) Journal says :
"H all accounts be true matters are yerg-
ing towards a crisis in Tombstone. The
constant disregard of human life and the
frequent robberies and outrages have
stirred up q feeling among the more re-
spectacle in the community which bodies
no good for ruffianism. 1t is reported that
a vigilance committee has been organized
in the town and that they are ready for
action. 1t is a mistaken notion to suppose
that constant brawls and murders, because
they are confined to the worst element Of
the population, are not injurious to q
community. The fact Of such an one being
killed may be of moment to himself only,
but the conviction that a murder can take
place ~unrebuked and unpublished in a civ
ilized community where the people are
surrounded with all the modern appliances
OF cultivation and refinement, where deli
cate ONE daily walk the streets and
children are being brought up and educa-
ted, is a very serious drawback to the pros
perity Of any section. 1t acts as a deterrent
on the very class to whom the owners of
property must look for purchasers. Capt.
talists are not coming to this country to
buy mines if they have a reasonable doubt
Of the security of their persons. Lawless-
ness is contagious. If one class is allowed
to cut and slash and shoot with IMMUNITY
there are well meaning but inconsiderate
people who think they ought to be allowed
to do the same thing and the ball is kept
rolling. If these ruffians take a pleasure
in violating the laws of society there are
places where they can indulge their tastes
without incommoding other people. but a
busy, prosperous, crowded town is not the
place for it, and the sooner the citizens
make this known the better it will be for
all parties"
