"H
In the q. 8. Senate, yesterday, Mr..
Frye, from the Committee on Rules,
reported new rule, providing that
3 vote to lay on the table Q proposed
amendment shall not carry with it the
pending measure" It was placed on
the calendar. Mr.. Edmonds, Of Yer
mont, asked and was granted leave Of
absence on account Of sickness in his
family. A bill was introduced by MIR.
Mitchell for the erection Of q public
building in Wllliamsport. A bill was
passed appropriating twenty thousand
dollars for . monumental column to
commemorate the battle OF Monmouth,
the money TO be expended by the
Monmouth Battle Association Of New
Jersey in completing the monument.
1t IL required that the Association
shall raise e20, 600 in addition to the
appropriation, and submit the design
for approval to the Secretary of War.
Mr' Garland spoke on the Importance
OF maintaining an efficient levee sys-
tenn on the Mlssissippi rixsr, his bill
on the subject being temporarily taken
up. He was followed By Mr.. Jonas,
who said that nearly an the alluvial
lands from the mouth Of the Ohio to
the mouth Of the mississippi were now
under water or threatened with over
dow. "The lands in Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Louisiana now under
water, or in daily danger Of being sub
merged, produced, il 1880, q total Of
700, ,O6S bales Of ootton, the value Of
which, at the ordinary market rate Of

over $4,000, 900 in molasses, ever
~, OO0, 600 in rice. The overflow now
threatened the total destruction Of
these values" MIR. Jonas estimated
the cost Of levee system which would
protect the whole alluvial country at
not more than S15, 900, 000., On m0tion
Of MIR. Garland, the bill was referred
to the Committee on the Mississippi
River and its Tributaries. The Post@
office Appropriation bill was consld-
cred, pending which the Senate went
into executive session and soon after
adjourned. ''" oao
In the House a bill was passed ap

Beturns from nearly oil the counties
OF New jersey show an almost uninter-
rupted series Of Democratic victories In
the city and township elections held
yesterday. In Bergen County only one
Republican Fraeholder was elected,
Rldgewood, the strongest Republican
town In the county, went Democratic.
Last year there were Ave Republicans In
the Board Of Freeholderf; this year
there 10 but one.
The Democrats made clean sweep
and elected all their cABdidAl es In Glou-
cester City, Camden CJunty, aud gained
enough members to control the Camden
City Council. Charles Janney, Demo
crat, was elected City Assessor.
The township elections In Essex
County resulted In gain Of four Demo
cratic Freeholders. In three Of the
townships the Peoples ticket (indepen-
dent) was elected. At tie Burlington
County town me citing fouFteen Demo
Gratis aud thirteen Republicans were
elected. One Democratic member will
be challenged on the ground that he
has only two majority, and that he ID
really In the minority. The old Board
OF Freebolders stands sixteen Democrat
to twelve Republicans.
In Middlessex County the entire Git

TEE ALMsHoUsE PRoPERTX.-
There was not so large an attendance
i the proposed sale Of the almshouss
property yesterday % was expected.
This may have been owing in some
measure to the inclemency Of the
weather, and to rumor that had been
ppOn the streets that the sale would
b postponed, in order TO give an Op-
pOrtunity to change the plot and divide
lhs lots on q different plan. The
price offered for the whole, and the
bid for one block per foot gave the
pOmmittee a substantial idea Of the
estimated vAlHe Of the ground, Al.

Eight Thousand Coal Miners Idle,
Qulot At Omaha.
OMAHA, Neb., March 10

A warrant was issued yesterday morn
ing by Police Jnstiee Beneke for one
John Doe or blank against Militiamen
for the killing Of George T. Armstrong
and put In the hands of the officers. The
Idea OF conViction Is considered as alb
snrd. Business interests Of Omaha are
at q stand. There has been little excite
ment to-day, and all 10 quiet now. This
morning Sheriff Miller went with his
deputy to serve the warrant. Colonel
Colby ordered the soldiers into line and
gave the Sheriff every facility for In
spection. After close examination no
Identification was made. and the Sher-
IF reformed without the man. The fun
eral of George p. Armstrong was an inn
posing affair. Two thousand men were
In line, embracing labor and trade uu-
ions. It is proposed to erect . monu-
ment to him. The proprietor OF the
granite quarries has offered TO furnish a
slab, and probably large oontributi0n
will be made therefor. No further
trouble is anticipated. All Is quiet
along the Missouri and Il likely TO re-
main so, or q compromise will doubtless
be effected.

Address ON tne Delaware ship
s Canal .#H"l

The Senate select committee on

consider the merits OF the Chesapeake
and Delaware ship canal, aud hear the
views of It's friends. A committee of
influential Baltimore gentlemen was
in attendance. Messrs. ]. v. L. Find
lay and s. p. Thompson addressed
the senatorial committee, making care
full and tull statements, showing clearly
the truly national character of the
canal enterprise, and that Baltimore's q
advocacy Of the work was due to her
conviction that it would serve the In
terests Of the great West and South
west even more than her own. The
subject is presented from the military
and naval as we'll as the commercial
point Of view, and can scarcely fail to
convince the impartial reader that the
failure to construct the canal will be
little less than q national bluuder.-

Cutting Rank Notes.

TROY, N. Y, March 15.-Bank bills,
raging In denomination from 81 to $40,
have been accepted at banks In this city,
which 1t 10 discovered are an inch short
of the regular size. The persons engag-
ed in the fraud are unknown. They have
reaped rich harvest.
The device consists of cutting two
thirds from bill and then one eighth
is cut from another bill Of the same de-
nomination and the two pieces are parted
together, making an apparently genuine
bank note. Five two dollar bills in this
way are made to yield $12, and five ten
dollar bills make $50.
