A dispatch to the Boston Journal
of April ID, says: ''There appear to
be no indications that the debate on
the tariff commission bill will be con-
Guided and a vote taken within fort
night, at least. Some conferences
have been held between republican
and democratic members of the ways
and means committee of the house
yesterday and to-day with a view to
fixing time when the bill shall be
taken out of committee of the whole,
but nothing definite has yet been done
After the bill taken from the commit
tee into the house probably two OF
three days of general debate will be
allowed, and then it is expected that
some of the most prominent members
of the house on either side will take
part. Neither Morrison, Tucker nor
Blackburn has yet spoken on the bill,
to which they are all very strongly
opposed. Judge Kelly has been a
close listener to the debate, but he

Our telegraphic advices state that
the proposition to appropriate S10,-
600, 900 for educational purposes, the
money to be apportioned among the
States accoring to the ratio of litter
acy, meets with more general favor
and encouragement among congress
men than was originally hoped for by
the projectors. 1t comes forward at
an opportune time, when the reve-
nues of the government are largely
in excess of the expenses. The
strongest argument thus far advanc-
ed in opposition to the proposition is,
that it would establish a precedent
for appropriations which it wonld be
hard for congress to resist in the fu-
ture. Among the points made in
support of it are: First, that such
appropriation could be allowed out of
the surplus in the treasury without
inconvenience; second, that this
would be a good way to pay back to
the people a small part of the money
collected from them by unnecessary
and excessive taxation; third, that
this would be better use to which
to put the money at this juncture
than to apply it toward the payment
of the public debt, because, in the
opionion of a great many people,
the debt is being paid off much more
rapidly than this generation ought to
be taxed to provide for. In short,
the advocates of this proposed APP
preparation in aid of popular educa-
ton contend that it is perfectly prop
er thing for the government to do,
and would be Of infinite benefit to the
whole nation in such an exigency as
the present condition of the South
presents. Of Education.

The committee of the house of rep
resentatives which has charge of the
Garfield funeral bills, seems to be
very reluctant to make its report.
The committee had prepared a report
three weeks ago, but the disclosures
made by the newspapers, caused such
uneasiness in congress that some of
the members changed their minds,
and the subject was reopened. Since
then it appears that the committee
has not been harmonious. although
some of the persons who have pre-
scented bills have lobied persistently
for report. If the bills are all pre-
scented to the house there is certain to
be an explosion with very bad
odor.

Samuel G.. Townsend of Leadville,
Col, was brutality shot down in broad
daylight, on the streets Of that city,
Tuesday, March %. The trouble
which Led to the terrible deed grew
out of a matter of costs in a justice
court, Early claiming that Mr.. Town
send had over charged him 10 or 10
cents. A dispute arose, and without
warning Early drew pistol from his
pocket and fired at Townsend. Mr.
Townsend endeavored to wrench the
weapon from him. In the struggle
the pistol was again discharged, the
ball entering the abdomen of Mr..
Townsend and lodging in the spine
The wounded man lived only about
half an hour. The murderer was
soon under arrest. He claimed to
have acted in self-defense only, but
the testimony of two or three eye-wit-
nesses, shows that Mr.. Townsend
did not strike the man nor attempt
to shoot him, as Early claimed; and
when he was picked up his pistol
was found in his ulster with all its
chambers loaded. Mr.. Townsend
was a native of Vermont. He was
born in Wallmgford in December,
1919; there he resided most of the
time until 1871, when he went to Col.
orado and engaged in sheep-raising
In 1874 he was elected assessor and
the year following sheriff of Rio
Grande county, Colorado, after
wards serving as marshal of Del
Norte and Alamrosa. In the latter
town he married Miss Allie Allen
who, with one child, a boy, survives
him.-Rutl0nd Herald.

AMERICAN LADIEs.-The first impression Sara Bern
hart received of the Amerca ladies manifested itself
thusly:-"Oh re ladies. "a beautiful such clear

to the universal use of Swayne's Ointment for skin
diseases which insures clear and clean complexion,
and heaty color. This recalls to mind the divine
precept cleanliness is next to Godness.'

Newark, n. j., is the banner city
for defaulters. During the past three
months the arrests for defalcation
have been alarmingly frequent. Bank
cashiers, directors, city officials and
others have been dealt with by law
for appropriating funds not their
own; and the latest on the pro-
gramme is the arrest of w. H. Win
ans, ex-treasurer of the city, on the
charge of forgery and fraud against
the city. 1t begins to look as though
Diogenes would doubt the propriety
of putting out his lantern if he could
undertake a stroll through the city of

The post office departments fig
ures for the last quarter of 1881,
which have just been made up show
an actual surplus of revenue for ex-
penditures of S678, 424, and this is
the first time in about IL years that
such thing has happened. OF this
gain over half represents the savings
in the Star-rOute service, and the re-
mainder is due to the legitimate
growth Of the postal business. There
seems to be no reason why each sue
ceeding quarter may not show a
growing surplus, and if so, there is
no reason why the people should not
have the advantage of it in cheaper
rate of letter postage.

The Democrats have chosen to
make party issue on the extension
of the national banking system,
though they are not quite solid on the
question. Of the 1872 votes in favor
of Mr.. Crapo's resolution to make
his bill extending the bank charters
a special order for April 10, 10 were
cast by Democrats, while all the IS
against it were cast by Democrats
and Greenbackers. AS it took a
two-thirds vote, the resolution was
defeated. But the vote was consid-
cred test, and when the bill is
reached it is sure to pass.

One farmer found out last year how to
get the best of the potatoe bugs. He
says: Portsmouth, N. H., Dec. 10, 1881.
1 have used Bradley's Phosphate but
one year, but 1 must say it has given me
better satisfaction than any other brand
1 have ever tried, and have had them by
the carload and know whereof 1 speak.
1 find in conversation with leading far
mers about here that Bradley's Phosphate
is giving general satisfaction. l used it
for potatoes, putting on a liberal coat of
manure, and using five hundred pounds
of the phosphate in the drill per acre.
The result was, I harvested two hs&ked
bushels of potatoes per acre in this poor
year. The tops grew so fast, the bugs
could not keep up. For root crops the
result was equally good.

Last week the notorious bandit,
Jesse James, was shot in st. Joseph,
Mo-, by Robert Ford, former mem
Der of the gang. The James broth
ers were sons of a Baptist minister.
They made their first appearance
when mere boys in the border ruffian
days, when they joined QuantrelPs
band. Jesse boosted that he shot
| thirty-siX men with his own hand
when Lawrence was sacked; and he
was one of the instigators of the
butche4y of invalid Union soldiers at
Vandalia, Mo-, in 1864, and was one
of the three men who put SO sick and
wounded soldiers to death. For
years this gang of outlaws has been
the terror of the Southwest. They
have robbed and murdered. They
have wrecked trains, pillaged and
burned. Jesse had a house in Jeffer-
son, where his wife and mother lived
He went around all the time, and
though a premium had been set OIL
his arrest, people did not dare tc
touch him for fear of his unknown
accomplices. Governor Crittender
was determined to break up the gang
and having offered reward for the
body of James dead or alive, he
promised Ford immunity from Law
and protection should he kill James
The act caused great excitement, an(
the bandits have threatened to tax,
the Governors life. 1t is likely tina
the decisive action of the Governo
will be followed up by the authori
ties, and lead to the destruction o
the whole band.

the opinion that Rutland county will

tons of the district to give him re-
nomination. Colonel Joyce is pop

reasons why he should be returned.

has not yet taken a part, and will not
do so until the bill is brought into the
house, when it is expected that he
will make the closing speech in its
favor.
A good many republicans have
come to the conclusion that the dem
ocrats have privately agreed to con-
sumo as much time as possible in a
discussion of the bill, and it is quite
APPARENT that side have been merely
to consume time. The democrats
have two objects in view. As a par
ty, they earnestly desire to prevent
any step being taken at this session
which will lead to revision of the
tariff. They are also anxious to
postpone as long as possible any fur
ther consideration of the antl-Chinese
bill or of any of the contested cleo
ton cases, and they desire also, if
within their power, to prevent any
legislation for the extension of the
| charters of national banks. If thew
can make the house drag along in aD
endless discussion of the tariff bill
until the hot days of May, they hope
to be able to prevent action on any
of the measures above mentioned.

For the information of farmers who are
not acquainted with the use and benefit
of the use of Pacific Guano, 1 wish to
state my experience in the use of guano
without manure. In the spring of 1879
I broke two and half acres OF pasture
that was entirely run out, so much so
that there was hardly any sward. | used
six hundred pounds of Pacific Guano in
the hill, and planted to potatoes; harvest,
seven hundred and fifty bushels potatoes.
In the spring of 1880 sowed one thousand
pounds Pacific Guano broadcast, and
sowed two acres to wheat and one-halt
acre to oats harvested fifty bushels good
wheat, forty bushels good oats, and got
catch of clover and herdsgrass. In spring
of 1881 sowed four hundred pounds of
Pacific Guano broadcast; cut five tons of
choice hay. The aftercrop was good,
and bids fair to be as good as ground
that I have manfred with manure from
my barn. This has all been done without
particle of manure. 1 am satisfied that
there is no fertilizer sold in this country
