Neoos publishes the following: "The break
in prices Of steel rails, caused chiefly by the

THE FATHER OF WATERS.
The Congressional Committee at Vicks-
burg.

VIoKsBURG, November 2O.-The steamer
Guiding Star reached here at two a. m.
with the Mississippi River Congressional
Commission aboard.
They were met by a committee of citizens
and members Of the press. At eleven
O'Clock they departed on tour OF examina-
tion OF the hsrbor of this city and the gov
eminent works at Delta Point. The weather
was unprOpitlOus, being cold and rainy.
The tour OF observation was completed be-
fore the steamer left at D. m. From gene.
raj observation, the commission being retf-
cent in what they might say officially, it
was inferred that they were favorably
impressed with the work st this
point and at several places above
here. To get anything Of an official
nature from them was impossible. 1t is
generally believed that the Commission is
not unanimous by any means in favor of
the Mississippi river improvements. The
testimony Of some of the parties engaged
on the government works at Delta was
taken, but not made public.

CHALMERS
Seeking a Remedy in the Courts.

JACKSON, November 2O-Gen. Chalmers
has filed petition for q mandamus before
Judge Wharton to compel the Secretary of
Safe to count his votes In Tate county. He
charges that Mr.. Myers, the Secretary Of
State, allowed returns from other districts
to be inspected, but refused to let any
one see those from the Second district
until they were counted. He alleges that the
returns were purposely concealed to prevent
any errors from being corrected during the
ten days allowed by law for making returns,
and says the clerical error as to j. r
Chambless would have been promptly cor
rected If the returns had not been traudu-
lently concealed. The commissioners OF cleo
ton OF Tate county have sent an amended
return, showing that votes were cast for J.
R. Chalmers, and not j. r. Chambless.

New YORK, November 20-The Posts
cotton market report says: "The first call
for future deliveries opened 7-100c.'to S-1O0c
higher, but lost 3-100c. to 4-1OOc. before its
close. After the call there was at first a
slight advance, but offerings increasing
largely prices fell rapidly. At the
second call they ruled 2-1O0c. to
3-1OOc., and at about p. m. 9-10Oc to 6-1OOc.

After an advance of 3100c. sales were made
again at lower rates than at the previous
lowest point. The advance early in the day
and the subsequent rapid decline
can only be accounted for by eccen-
tricities frequently witnessed In the
futures business. The third call showed
a weak market. November sold at 10 SIC,

NO QUORUM.
The House Ways and Means Committee
Perplexed.

WASHINGTON, November 20.-The Ways
and Means Committee OF the House had
been called to meet to-day, but no quorum
was present at the hour named and no
business was transacted. The work which
may be done by this committee is delayed
by the fact that the Tariff Commission is
no. yet ready to report, and it was said
sfter the meeting to-day that there would
be a correspondence between the con mittee
and the Tariff Commission. II it shall
appear that the commission will not have
its report ready before the meeting of Con-
gress, then It is probable that the committee
will adjourn and not undertake its work
until December. The principal matter
before it is the preparation of g revenue
bill, and not much can be done in this
direction until the report of the Tariff Com
mission is made.

severe legislation which enforces the isola-

remedies for the phylloxerl. France, since
the phylloxera has ravaged half of her vine
yards, has imported yearly since 1877 from

tIOn. She only exports to England little

An English banker lately received 8 cash
remittance, with letter explaining that 1t
was the amount of q sum paid by mistake
to the writer over the bank counter, with
interest from the date Of the payment. The
circumstance Of the cash being found short
on the day named is we'll remembered in

appears that the Individual had got the
money he wanted in gold, and, suddenly
bethinking himself that he would require
go in silver, asked for it, but orgOt to re-
fund the gold. There was q pressure OF

escaped the sttention Of the cashier that he
