SOME OF the members of the present
House of Representatives do not know
Lynch, of Mississippi. The other day a
member was looking for colored man
servant, and met an intelligent-looking
fellow sauutering up the street, and
asked the latter if he knew where he
could get good servant "No, 1 am
sorry to say do not" was the reply.
"What are you doing?" asked the M.
c., who had expected that the colored
man would offer his own services.
"Nothing just now, said the man;
"but am looking after seat in Con-
gress. My name is Lynch, and l expect
to get possession in few days" The
de-facto member shook hands with the
de.jure Representative, and went on
looking for servant.

None of her friends, not even her par

His first step was to marry his sweet
heart, who was never to change her
name or III any way reveal the secret
should he die. On the day of the mar

Voted Out Of the National Treasup-The

Questions Before II.
POINTS, PERSONAL AND POLITICAL
sDecial Dispatch to ne Register.

Specsal Dispatch to ne Register.
WASHINGTON, July H.-Since Congress
met in December 100000 have been
voted out of the national treasury.
This is an enormous sum OF money, and
much in excess of what should be spent by
the Federal Government.
The people demand ecoL omy. They suf-
fer from over taxation. Capital is dissatis-
fed with its profits, and labor "strikes" at
the wages offered it. Yet the work Of in
creasing their burdens goes onat Washing
ton. 1t is time 70 call halt.
In dealing with the revenues and the ap-
preparations this Congress has alike sig
nally failed. After lodging the tariff ques.
ton altogether by delegating its considera-
ton of q body of nine clerks and hearing
the mutterings ofdiscontent from an over
burdened people, the project is brought up,
in the closing days of the session to make
a reduction Of internal taxation. No more
popular measure could be devised than the
abolition OF all the war taxes at once fell
swoop. But the bill to exempt matches,
perfumery, Bitters and nostrums and bank
capital is felt to be entirely in the interest
of the monopolies, and that its effect would
be to make She rich richer and the poor
poorer. On the appropriations there
has been the most lavish expendi
ture, and the aggregate OF the
money voted away is perfectly astounding.
Besides an increase in the regular annual
expenses Of the Government we have such
items as 500, 600 900 for pensions, $40, ,0OO,-
600 for rivers and harbors, and millions
upon millions for public building, most OF
which are not needed.
No country in the world could for any
length of time stand such drain, and the
reverse of the policy that has been pur-
sued by the present Congress will be neces.
sary to preserve US from bankruptcy and
inevitable ruin. By the radical policy a
surplus is gathered into the Treasury from
the whole people, to be distributed
among favOriteS, schemers, ,Joobers
and LOBBYISTS, and to swell the cor
ruption fund OF Jay Abel Hubbel to
be used in buying up rural voters, In

ntteen years Ol COulIuuOuS a1iN ~

The people are growing restiye under such
a state of affairs and it is the prevalent
belief here that, Notwithstanding HubbelPss
exactiors and the pressure of power and
patronage and the use of corrupting lntu-
ences and the aid Of corrupt alliance, the
next house will have working Democrat
ic majority.

POSSIBILITY OF AMoNEY sTRINGERcy.

NEW YORK, July 27.-The financial and
commercial history Of the past six months
has given occasion to profound thought
among men of extensive affairs. Those of
pessimist temperament have at times
seen doubtful prospect before them, and
with the present great impulse felt in pub
lie confidence there are not lacking few
alarmists, armed with facts and figures,
who predict distress, if not disaster. The
text which they take is the great change
which has come over our foreign trade in
1881, when the balance Of trade was so pre-
ponderously in our favor as to excite the
envy. of AL the other countries OF the
globe; ind the phase Of this which most
strikes the superficial observer is the large
amounts of specie that We are exporting as
compared to the much decreased amounts
that we are importing.

The following statement, which is in part
due to the courtesy Of Messrs. Kimball n.
Prince and R. X. Sandford, Of the Custom
House, shows in tabular form the imports
and exports of specie at this port for the

THE RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Will Arthur Veto It-No Reduction Of
Taxation.

TaNhInOn.
Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-The River and
Harbor bill now only awaits the Presi-
dents signature to become a Law. While
it is doubtless true that the President
would like to veto the measure, it is doubt
full if he can withstand the pressure which
the representatives Of the districts special
" benefited will bring to bear on him.
There are, of course, many worthy objects
embraced in the bill, but taken as whole,
it is the most barefaced attempt to loot the
Treasury that has ever been organized, and
q veto would meet the approval OF the
country.
The decisive vote by which the Senate
laid aside the little tariff bill, demonstrates
that nothing will be done to relieve the
people from taxation at the present session.
The attempt of the Republicans to make
capital by their revenue bill was bare
faced fraud. Early in the session their
caucus adopted the policy that there should
be no reduction of taxation, and so shelyed
the question until the time of adjourn-
ment, when the mutterings OF public IN
diEnation compelled the farcial bill known
as Kelley's little joker" which re-
lieved the banks and patent medicine
and perfumery manufacturers OF taxation.
1t gave no relief to the people. The Senate
sought to amend this bill by a reduction OF
taxation that meant something, but 1t was
too late There is hardly quorum left,
and so the bill goes over to the next seS-
sion. The Republican jobbers are bent on
maintaining the treasury surplus by op-
preSsive taxation for purposes OF plumber.
Some of the most outrageous schemes OF
the session were pressed because of this
very surplus, and the Republicans intend
to perpetuate it as long as they have the
power.

SARATOGA, July 26.-Saratoga Springs oc-
cupies lofty plateau, which gives it the sd-
yantages of the mountain air, free from
all malaria. The air is inyigorating and
causes feeling of sleepiness at, first, and
makes one desire to be indolent. Any ex-

springs, or promenading on the hotel

the ordinary Saratoga visitor cares to make.
The season is fully inaugurated, and the

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Inferesting and Important Suit.

COLUMBUS, O., July 27.-Messrs. Robert
Garrett & Sons, of Baltimore, Md, through
their counsel, J. II. Collins, of Columbus,
yesterday filed in the United States Court
a bill in chancery against the Steubenyille
and Indiana RAILROAD Company and others,
asking that the liens on that road be mar
shaled and the road sold. Plaintiffs claim
that they have the first lien on the road,
which, including interest, now amounts
to over $2O0OO0, which is bal
ance due on decree rend-
cred by the Court of Common
Pleas of Harrison County, Ohio, in 1868.
This raod, the sale of which is asked in this
suit is now occupied by the Pittsblrg,
Cincinnati & st. Louis Railroad Company,
being that portion of the road between
Newark and Steubenville. 1t appears that
the banking house OF Robert Garrett & Co.
fioated the bonds issued to build the Steu-
benville & Indiana Railroad, and the suit
brought to-day is to recover a part OF the
money lomed at the time, which has not
vet been paid. The petition makes the
Trustees for all bondholders and the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati & st, Louis parties in the
case.

The watkins Case.


TOLEDO, Juls 27.-The State closed Its case
in chief, to-day. in the Watkins trial, and
the defense opened, with young Watkins on
the stand nearly all, day, for the purpose
of, proving that his fathers confession in
the police court was made under duress,
and that systematic effort was made by
McMahon to intinidate and control him.
The testimony was admitted under the OBJ
lection of the State, as tending to show the
bias of Mcmahon as witness. From. the
cross examination of Carney Miller, at the
mills, at the time Of the fire, with whom
Ferguson boarded Il may be inferred that the
defense will endeavOr to establish an alibi
for Ferguson at the time stated by McMa.
hon that Watkins said TO his paramour that
the mill was fred. The duration OF the
defense is uncertain.
