The Deadlock at Washington.

The L. ;. Senate Is still in extra ses-
sion, and unable as yet to act upon the
Presidents nominations because of the
deadlock. The northampton Gazette
describes the situation intelligently
Each party with full Senate has an
equal number of votes that is, count
ing Davis of Illinois with the Dem
ocrats, and Malone of Virginia with the
Republicans. In test of party
strength, the Vice President would
give the casting vote, and thus give the
victory to the Republicans. At the
opening of the session, there were sew
eral seats vacant, which were afterward
filled by Republicans. While these va
caucies existed, the Democrats, having
for the time being the power, attempt
ed to organize the committees and Sc
cure the chairmanships. This attempt
the Republicans resisted by tillibuster
ing and defeated. When the vacancies
were filled and it was known that Ma
hone would vote with the Republicans,
they proceeded to choose the committees,
and to that extent carried out their pro-
gramme. They then attempted to Dust
the Democratic officers of the Senate,
and elect Il list of their own, which in
cludes one of Mahone's political friends
from Virginia. This attempt the Dem
ocrats have resisted 10y tillibustering,
and it is here that the deadlock exists.
The time of the Senate has been occu-
pied with speeches, which have taken
wide range, and involved all of the
political issues of the times.
On the surface, this looks like Il cen
test for few petty offices: but in real
ity the struggle means much more.
Malone is a Democrat, and was a gen.
eral in the rebel amy. He was elected
as Democrat. but in opposition to the
regular nominee, having the votes of
the Republicans. He has Il conSidera-
bile Democratic following in Virginia,
and the breach between him and his
followers and the regulars, or BOuTbous,
is already wide, and likely to increase.
1t is claimed that the Republicans, hay
ing accepted MahOue's vote to organize
the committees, are bound i'll honor to
stand by him in the contest i'll his state
which his action in the Senate has rem
dered inevitable. He is what is called a
''readiustcr :" which means that he ia
vOrs Il readiustment of the debt of his
state by paying less than one hundred
cents on Il dollar. In his fight with the
Bourbons, he offers, in order to gain
the assistance of the Republicans, to
give the blacks their policical rights to
a greater extent than they have had.

Imnortant r. r. Meeting.

a meeting of prominent railway OFF
Gals, comprising Hon. j. Gregory Smith
and Supt. Hobert of the Central VT.
and officers of the b. C. & NJ, Pass. and
South Eastern roads, was held in Mon
treal, Friday night. A satisfactory
agreement was concluded by the sever
al parties, to take effect from April l..
The arrangement includes also all pas
senger business from points in Canada
between Ottawa and Quebec which
may be brought to New England points
by the roads mentioned. Specific rates
are to be maintained, and the expenses
incident to ticket runners and agents
are to be done away with. This APP
pears to be the beginning of the end to
a rivalry inimical to the interests of the
several roads, and will doubtless lead
to more amicable relations among
them.

The Harlan Hale Poisoning Case.

LOWELL, Mass, April S.-Nearly all
day has been occupied in the Police
Court in examining the charge of at
tempted murder against Harlan p.
Hale of Waterford, Vt. Mary E. San
born testified that he three times pro-
posed to wait on her with view to
him on Saturday, March 26, lie called
and had an earnest conversation for
nearly an hour when he had gone the
cocoa and tea used on the table were
found to be very bitter, and an exami
nation revealed white sediment, which
Professor Wood Of Cambridge testified
to be strychnine.
Ida Sanborn testified that Hale came
in early on the afternoon named and
went into the kitchen alone, Ostensibly
to get drink. AS the teakettle and
tea at noon were not poisoned, and he
was the only person known to have
been in the kitchen during the after
noon except members OF the family,
the Government claimed that lie was
the guilty person.
Mrs. Bond, neighbor of the San
bOrns, saw Hale that night proving
around their yard and pryiDg into their
windows.
When arrested lie had a loaded re-
volver and nearly pound and a half
of arsenic in his trunk, but no strych-
nine could be traced to him.
George Stevens, his counsel, offered
no testimony for the defence, but made
a brief argument to have the bail re-
duced. 1t was formerly $4,000, but
was this afternoon placed at $1,000 for
his appearance before the June term of
the Superior Criminal Court, in default
of which he went to Jail.

Death of a Good Newspaper Man.

Stephen y. StOckwell, one of the
successors of Maj. Rogers in the man
agement of the Boston Journal, died at
his residence in Roxbury Friday, at the
age of 81. He retired a few weeks ago
from active service, and had uudoubt-
edly exhausted his vitality in his pro-
fession. Mr.. StOckwell began as a COM
pesitor aud passed through all grades
of editorial service. He excelled in
gathering and that side of jour
nalism which comes nearest in charac-
ter to business. He was much liked by
his associates in the profession for his
amiable and genuine character. He
was a native of Hardwick, and served
in both branches of the state legisla-
ture, the Boston city government, and
other public capacities. He leaves chill
dren and second wife, and had accu-
INFLATED qaite a fortune. The Herald
says he had as much to do with the de-
velopment of modern journalism in
Boston as any other man. He was one
of the earliest reporters, and was the
first to organize reporting of public
events SO as to cover the busy life of
the city and the state. He was a man
of quick intelligence and great indus
try, and perfectly conscientious i'll all
his relations. To know him well was
to thoroughly respect and like him. He
was a prominent member of the High
land Congregational church, and was
an exemplary Christian.

The Trial of the Cars Assassins.
SENTENCE OF DEATH UPON ALL.

The trial of the persons accused of
completely in the assassination of the
Car, was finished Friday evening.
RussakOtf, who threw one of the
bombs, spoke for half an hour. He
said he primarily desired to agitate
peacefully, but enteeed into the late
conspiracy, seeing no other way out of
social troubles.
Michaeloff, who was arrested as he
entered RussakOff's house, said lie be-
longed to the Terrorist faction of the
party, but denied Russakoff's statement
that he participated in the arrange
ments for the murder of the Gar.
HeSse HelfmaHn acknowledged that
she kept the conspirators' lodging house,
which was depot for their imple-
ments, but denied having actively par
ticipated in the Cars assassination.
Kibaltschitisch, the bomb-maker
avOwed his connection with the Will of
the Peoples, party, their wish, he said
being to gain their objects by peaceful
propaganda, but they were reluctantly
obliged to adopt terrorist measures. He
admitted preparing five bombs.

pie worker.
After three hours deliberation the
court returned at go Saturday morn
ing with a verdict of guilty against all !;
and sentence of death by hanging was

Garfield and the Rising Tide.

Unsettled questions" said President
Garfield in his inaugural, have no pity
for the repose of nations The past
month has probably taught Gen. Car
field that they have none fol the repose
of president. Turn as he may, he
cannot dodge Il rising tide. No public
man can. He must move with it or be
drowned by it. Day by day, the ad
ministTation sinks in public esteem.
The more its acts are turned over, the
less they are liked. The nomination of
Stanley Matthews, the selection of w.
+. Chandler, the removal of Merritt /;
there is no defense for these things.
They carry their own condemnation
aud sink by their own weight. They
are hot like Grants worst acts, fragrant
Outrages on public decency ; but the
tide has risen since Grant went out and
it will rise while Garfield is in, whether
he helps or binders. His administration
will probably win in its fight with
Conkling, however it may fail in pla
cling Stanley Matthews on the bench or
forcing Chandler on MaeNeagh, but
there is a danger that some of these re-
suits will be won at a hopeless loss of
moral position. No man, thinking well
of Gen. Garfield, mindful of his ability,
his ambition and his high intent, can
fail to he painfully struck by the sud
den loss of popular respect in the gen
eral newspaper discussion of the past
fortnight. To be hated and disliked is
one thing but to be talked of as
Blaiue's man, to be pitied for his blum
ders and charged, on too good proof,
with using offices, which are trust, to
pay off campaign debts, build up
personal party and promote personal
ambition. this must he harder to bear,
and there are other harder things in
store for president and premier who
shirk n reform which the people want
in the interest of decent administration.
Plot and plan as they may, reform will
have its revenges in the simple out
come of events. The tide is on its
side swayed by moral forces president
can neither alter nor avoid.-[Spring-

''Old Alexander, the wandering jew"
who for over a half-century has wan

making his appearance periodically
about twice a year in New England,
has just died without friend, aged 81,
at the Middlebury town farm. His real
name is supposed to have been Francis
William Alexander. He WAS Scotch
Highlander, aud in early life removed
with his wealthy parents to the north
of Ireland. He graduated at the uni
versity of Dublin, but, for some mys-
ferrous crime, as it was supposed, fled
from the country and became a tramp,
wandering principally over the United
States. He was supplied with ample
means, frequently exhibiting hundreds
of dollars, while dressed in the garb of
a mendicant. He was possessed of fine
scholarly attachments, yet was at times
very coarse and prOfane in his language

whom he manifested an especial dis

Preaching VS.. Practice.

In the last legislature there were sew
eral gentlemen who made themselves
very conspicuous as advocates of the
new tax law, declaiming on behalf of
their beloved people against the men
who hide their money in order to have
it escape taxation. None were more
prominent in this respect than two
LAWYERS from Orleans county who spoke
loud and long during the debate and
rehearsed the enOrmity of the hiding of
personal property with great force and
earnestness. That was well enough.
They had Il perfect right to their con
victiOns. But we should like to have
them rise and explain. Did one of them
20 to st. JOhnsbury few days ago and
put $1,000 into the savings bank on the
sly ? And is it true that his boy went
with him and the next day told about it
to the neighbors aud they stirred the
listers upP And when the representa-
tive made out his list did he forget that
$4,000 until the listers reminded him of
the sum which he thought was laying
so snug in the bank They do say that
the taxable property of the largest town
in Orleans county had its list increased
in this way and it was all due to Il little
boy. We also have heard that the list
of another town in the same county
would be larger 10y $1,000 had not its
representative carefully invested that
sum in L. ;. 6's due i'll July, some time
during the month of March, for these
are not taxable. These are the facts as
they come to us probably thousand
other taxpayers have done the same
thing, but they were not of those who
were such ardent advocates of the new
law in the legislature. Perhaps the al
legation is unfounded. At any rate the
floor is open for somebody to rise and
expain.-[St. Adams Messenger.

safe home.
We have had a regular old fashioned
knock down and drag out meeting in
the harbor, in the style of the rackets
in vogue in the good old days of the
Black Ball liners. Seamen are scarce,
it seems, and the Jacks have been get
ting as much as $50 advance for long
voyages, and in many cases, with the
cOnnivance of boarding house runners
and other laDdsharks. have jumped
their contracts and reShipped elsewere,
the said landsharks of course coming in
fer the bulk of the plumber. A gang of
this class made things warm in the good
ship Aurora the other day, bound for
Valparaiso, but this skipper was an old
Black baller, and was up to their tricks.
He went on shore to an old pal, now a
ship chandler, and the two, with a crew
of stalwart riggers and longshoremen,
took the ship out TO sea, then ordered
the crew to turn to. They refused and
the captain proceeded to make them.
Tearing off the skylight of the forecas-
tie, he fired down among the recalci-
trant tars and hunted them out. Then
came a fight in which one lOngshOreman
was stabbed by a Chilean; but the
mutineers were dubbed into submits
sion, and the good ship filled away,
with the wolves reduced to the meek
ness of lambs. The longshOreman went
to hospital, int will be all right again
in Il few days, and would no doubt
cheeIfully undergo a similar experience
every week of his life for the same con-
sideratiOn his wife comfortably pocket
ed. There was no fandangO about ar
rests or trials, or anything of that sort,
but simply old-fashiOned hand spike
and belaying-pin logic, which is very
etficaciOus with the motley rapscalions
who, as a rule, act by way of sailors
nowadays in our sadly degenerate
mercantile marine. RADIX.
