At a Republican caucus held in Wash
ingtOn a few nights since, it was decided
not to grant any reduction in the whisky
and tobacco tax, and in consequence of
this action Judge Kelley will no longer
press the bill that was to have been ia
Yorably reported from the sub committee
Of the Ways and Means Committee to
the full committee providing for such
reductions. Representative Shallenbur-
ger, of Pennsylvania, made the motion.
and Kelley opposed it holly for awhile,
but finding the sentiment of the party
all against him, bowed his head and
passed under the yoke The main argu-
ment advanced was that the reduction
in the revenue contemplated by this bill
was iniudicious.
Il is believed that the Republicans
want 8 good balance Of ready money in
the Treasury to pay for their various lit
lie schemes. They want Uncle Sam to
maintain his present income and then
they want to live up to it. Moreover,
some of the Western Republicans think
that reductions in the revenues, If made
at all, should be more equally divided
between duties and internal revenue
taxes than the scheme Of the Ways and
Means Committee contemplates.

The St. Louis Republican thinks that
something very important is going on in
the New York stock market as indicated
by the extraordinary communications
and exhibits which have been recently
made by the magnstes of the New York
stock board and the great railroad kings.
The ostensible purpose of these financial
autocrats in taking the public into their
confidence is to stop the depreciation of
certain leading stocks and to restore the
general market. Whether this is the real
purpose is questioned by many. One view
of the situation is that they are actually
contributing to create stampede and
panic by exhibiting an unwonted if no:
an unprecedented anxiety. Those who
think they are dealing with candor,
however, point t , the facts and argu-
ments produced to sustain stocks and
restore confidence which it is claimed
are substantial and conclusive, whatever
may be the opinion of the public as to
the inspiring motives of those who adj
duce them.
But, says that paper: ITO the public
generally the important feature of the
developments of the past few days is the
probable end of the trunk line railroad
war. This is tangible and concerns bust
ness and prices. The fluctuations in
speculative non-paying or doubtful
stocks had little interest for any but
stock gamblers. Whatever may be the
real matter involved in the designs OF
the actors, a few days will make the
situation plain" The cost Of The recent
trunk line fight is estimated at $780,
900, 200.

We have received from Prof. J. p.
Stelle, agricultural editor of the Mobile
Register, copies in pamphlet form of his
recent address before the American
Agricultural Society on the constituent
value and uses of cotton seed. He has
presented the subject in a pleasing man
ner to the reader, and treated it practi-
cally for service to those who desire to
profit by the information. Having

for free distribution among planters, we
have arranged with the Professor to mail
a copy free to any one ordering it and

The news which we publish this morn
ing from Washington relative to the con-
dition of Hon. George R. Black Is very
distressing. From the moment that II VISA
first announced that he was PROSTATE
from a serious paralytic attack, his
condition has been watched with the
most intense interest by his many friends
and news from him is always looked for
with eager anxiety. When yesterday it
was reported that he was so
much better, the feeling grew strong
that his recovery would be speedily as
sured. and the universal sentiment was
one of thankfulness. The latest from
his bedside, however, will dissipate all
the hopes which previous favorable
reports had raised, as it seems now TO
be the settled conclusion that his family
will even be deprived of the melancholy
pleasure of his living helpless paralytic,
and that his end is only question OF a
short time.
This sad news, 1t Is 10 De sincerely
hoped, may prove to be exaggerated
and that the next information from our
stricken Representative will be more ia
vorable. Should such prove to be the
case, the high esteem in which he is
held among his entire constituency will.
we doubt not, promptly manifest itself
in the sincere feeling Of satisfaction
which will prevail throughout this dis
trict, which he so ably and efficiently
represents in Congress, and which, had
his health not failed him, he would
probably have continued to represent for
many years to come.
Since writing the above we have re-
ceived a second dispatch, which gives
ground for the fear that the most seri-
GUS apprehensions regarding Colonel
Black will soon be realized. His condi-
ton grows steadily more unfavorable,
and his death, it is thought by his ply
sicians, is but matter of few hours.

and constitutionaliy exercise legislative

or agreement which shall in
any respect prevent or prohibit competi-

Beautiful Extract.

The following waif, aAoat on the sea
OF reading, we clip from an exchange.
We do not know it's paternity, but it
consists Of some wholesome truths, beau
tifully set forth:
Men seldom think of the shadow that
falls across their path, hiding forever
from their eyes the traces of the loved
ones whose living smiles were the sun
light of their existence. Death is the great
antagonist of life, and the cold thought
OF the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts
We do not want to go through the dark
valley, although its passages may lead to
Paradise and, with Charles Lamb, we
do not want to lie down in the muddy
grave, even with kings and princes for
our ed-fellows. but the fiat of nature
is memorable" There is no appeal for
relief from the great law which dooms us
to dust. We flourish and we fade as the
leaves of the forest, and the flower that
blooms and withers in a day has not
Trailer hold upon life than the mightiest
monarch that ever shook the earth with
his footsteps. Generations of men appear
and vanish as the grass, and the countless
multitudes that throngs the world to- day
will tomorrow disappear as footsteps on
the shore. In the beautiful drama of
lon, the instinct of Immortality, SO elo-
quently uttered by the death devoted
Greek, finds deep response in every
thoughtful soul When about to Weld
his young existence as sacrifice to fate,
his beloved Clemanthe asks if they shall
not meet again; to which he applies, Il
have asked that dreadful question of the
hills that look eternal-of the clear
streams which flow forever-of the stars
among whose fields of azure my raised spir-
it hath walked in glory. All were dumb
But while | gaze upon the living face, l
feel that there is something in the love
that mantles through its beauty that can
not wholly perish. We shall meet again.
Clemanthe. "-Aberdee71 Examiner
