Mr. Quarter thought one OF the main
objects Of this institution was 10 reform ths

calamity IL the Presbyterian, Methodist %
Catholic Church should work the reform.
He thought regular Chaplain would be q
greater service than IN irregular supply.
He could visit the convicts during the week
as well as on Sunday, and by conversatiou
and instruction do much more good thaa
by simply preaching on Sunday.
The House, however, resussd 10 yots

Spcciol Dispatch 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, February 5.-The proposed
amendments to the House rules, which
were submitted Wednesday, bids fair to
bring on a war of some dimensions. Black
burn and Randall will submit minority
report upon this subject, protesting against
the adoption Of these amendments, on the
ground that they deprive the minor
ity OF all their rights i'll the prem
ises. Mr.. Blackburn said to-day that
the Democrats would never let these amend
ments be adopted ii they had to stay here
all summer. There are objections certain
" to be urged against an attempt to amend
the rules at this time, for while change
NAV hasten legislation, it will precipitate a
partisan discussion that will, at all
events. last ten days, and it may be
all summer As Mr.. Blackburn says,
such a possibility, with legislation no
further advanced than at present is not to
be contemplated with satisfaction by either
party. The changes which Mr.. Reed pro-
poses are radical and worthy Of thoughtful
discussion before being accepted. They
change the entire character OF the present
morning hour, which isexclusively for the
reception OF reports from commit
tees, with the exception Of the first
and third Mondays of the month,
when motions to suspend the rules are
in order. Reeds plan provides that in all
morning hours except the two named
committee making reports may designate
any bill which in its judgment ought to be
considered immediately. This bill may oc-
cupy two days ifthe majority choose, and
then some other committee may take the
floor with its favorite measure. Another
rule provides that the majority OF the
house, before going into committee OF the
whole may designate what bill on the cal
endar shall be considered. Ian.

MARTINS FERRY.

Saturday night a negro became very
drunk and parallel the streets, threatening
all he met and declaring that he couId not
be taken. Marshal Linn and Officer Hance
heard of him and, after humping him a
little. coaxed him TO go to the lookup. He
will get hearing this morning.
A general fight took place Saturday night
in which several well known characters
were concerned. All will be arrested.
That well known desperate, Watt CliLe,
was arrested by Marshal Linn on Saturday
on an old charge. He gave bail for hear
ing.
Last Saturday fellow by the name OF
McCrew became involved in q quarrel with
Watt and Dan Cline and Reddy Reynolds
and before the police could be notified,
NcGrew was beaten all to pieces Dan
Cline was arrested and kept in the lookup
all night, but yesterday morning he put
ND bail and was released. Watt Cline eluded
arrest until yesterday morning, when he
was arrested by Marshal Linn and Officer
Hance. Cline resisted sturdily, and gave
the officers some trouble, but they
gave him no show at all. He is now in
the lookup, where he will likely stay. We
understand that several charges will be pre-
ferred against him. which has been lying
back for some time. Cline is in very bad
odor in the town and is considered one oil
the most dangerous characters in the state.
Marshal Linn deserves much praise for his
fearless conduct yeste rday, as he is just out
of bed after a severe sickness.
A very handsome sum OF money was
raised at the colored NJ. Z. jug breaking on
Saturday night. ~
