We occasionally hear. of Judge
Houk and his friends denying that
he has been intoxicated at any time
while in Washington, or while Con-
gress WIS in session. We charge
directly and explicitly that he has
been drunk there while Congress was
in session, disgracefully drunk, and
that that was the prime cause of his
continued neglect of his official du..
ties on the floor of the house of
Representatives. We challenge him
to make public denial of this fact,
and call for the proof

independence to frame government
and maintain order for themselves,
unless they possess qualities which
have never yet been shown. In some
form, European civilization will have
to govern Egypt, and it would be
much better for all concerned that
the control and the responsibility
should be complete and absolute.

TIMES divides the population OF
Egypt iuto two classes-ragamuf-
tus, who love disturbance of any
kind in the hope of getting some
thing out of it, and the other OF
those who dislike disturbance OF
any kind, for fear that they will
lose what they have. No solution
will please the one party while any
sol ution will please the other.

SENATOR CoNKLING was sereuaded
at his residence in Utica, n. Y, a
few evenings ago, and in the course
of his remarks, said:
Indeed there is much in the pres
ent condition of the country to make
men think together, act together,
feel together as to general and pub
lie matters, to bring men toward
each other who have thought apart
in the years and the days that are
gone. The old party issues have
largely passed away-passed away,
at least, as dividing party lines. We
are in period of peace and great
prosperity, but let us not forget that
prosperity often tests and tries the
wisdom CT nations and of men more
even than adversely. The tendency
is to spending largely, the tendency
in government is to profuse, per
haps lavish, appropriations of the
public money. In the affairs Of
government ard in the affairs o.
business, unless l greatly mistake
the lesson, the need, and the admo-
milton of the hour is frugality, fore
sight and care. We have more neeC
of the brake than OF steam in a goo6
many ways just now.

what particular troubles Browns
IRON BITTERs is good for.
1t will cure Heart Disease, Paral-
ysis, Dropsy, Kidney Disease, Con-
sumption, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism,

Its wonderful curative power is
simply because it purihes and en-
riches the blood, thus beginning at
the foundation, and by building up
the system, drives out all disease.

National Agricultural Conven-
tiOn.

New York, February 3--At the
session of the National Agricultural
Convention, yesterday, Professor A.
L. Perry, of Williams College, in his
address on Tree trade, proceeded to
illustrate how agriculture is injured
by the tariff.
Fl. I. Kimball, director general of
the late Atlanta Exposition, read
paper on the result of the
Exposition. In his most peaceful
moments, her said, he had not dream
ed of such grand display of every
Southern industry. 1t was such an
exhibition of purely American indus
try as had never before been collect
ed. Fifteen years had elapsed since
the old labor system had been killed.
Former masters had neither money
nor credit, and former slaves were
intoxicated with the first draught of
liberty. It was the old story
again of the bow that had
been SO long bent as
to lose it's elasticity. At the close OF
Mr.. Kimballs speech, Gen. Tremain
moved a vote of thanks which was
seconded by Francis D. Moulton and
unanimously carried.

Thrilling Scene at the New York Fire.
New York Times

Many thrilling and narrowing
scenes were witnessed by the EN-,
ployees of the post-office, who
watched the progress of the fire from
the windows on the Park>row Side of
the building. The principal of these
were described to a Times reporter
by E. Haughwout Howe, Postmaster
Pearson's private secretary, as fol-
lows: About 10 minutes after the
fire broke out young woman,
dressed In black, came to a fourth
story window on the Beekman street
side. 1t was the third window
from Park row. She got upon the
sill, closed the window behind her,
and stood with her arms raised above
here head, her hands resting against
the window frame on either side for
support. She stood in that position
for fully 10 minute, perhaps Is. She
preserved the msot heroic calmness
I ever saw in human being. The
flames were pouring out of the win
dow in the stoop directly over
her head, and after a while
a great volume of black
smoke burst out of the window in
which she was standing and at times
completely hid her from sight. When
it would lift for an instant we could
see that her long black dress was
blown out over the street by the
strong draught of the flames behind
her. From time to time she would
strike her chest with her right hand
as if to relieve herself from choking
All this while, of course, the firemen
were doing everything they could
to rescue her, but they could not gel
a ladder long enough to reach her
The longest ladder reached only te
within about four feet of the window
sill. At last man in citizens cloth
ing ran up the ladder, placed his
| feet upon the topmost rung of the
ladder, and grasped the window sill
with his hands. Then he made the
girl climb down his back, and a fire
man, who had followed up behind
took her in his arms, and brought
her safe to the street. Il
was the most thrilling sight, altogeth
er, ever witnessed.

New Trial.

New ORLEANS, February 2.-Soon
after the arrest of the Italian bandit,
Esposito Gayetano, Arditto waylaid
and killed Tony Labruzgo, who was
charged with having betrayed and
poisoned him. Arditto was tried and
convicted, receiving a sentence for
life. On an appeal to the Supreme
Court, the verdict VS. set aside, yes
terday, and new trial ordered, on
the ground that under the law, all
cases should be allotted by hazard,
between two judges of the Criminal
Courts. This decision renders ille-
gal every conviction had in the New
Orleans Criminal Court since the
adoption of the constitution in 1879,
although some of the convicts have
suffered death. Chief Justice
Bermuda, condemned some months
ago, the same or similar case, and
he thinks the verdict is perfectly
legal.
In the trial yesterday, of Addison
Commack, who shot Young Bornia
for calling him a negro, the defense, un
der the Supreme Court ruling, de-
clared that none of the criminal judges
clerks OF court, jury, commissioner
or sheriffs, were legally in Office
They all having committed the same
caches for which Beard was de-
| prived of his Office.
Much CONSERVATION has beer
caused by the application of facts tt
the law. The criminal judges took th'
case under advisement, and consul
tation has been had with the execu
tive and chief judge, with view tt
extracting those concerned from
a grave dilemma.

Guiteau's Motion For a New Trial.
Scoville Says He has Discovered
New Evidence.
News FromLieut. Dane nhower
of the Jeanette.
Fresh Impetus Given to the Nor
mon Question.

WASHINGTON, February 3.-When
Guiteau was brought into Court to
day he requested permission to sit
at the counsel table, and Mr.. Cork
hill did not object. He commenced
to address the Court but was stopped
by Judge Cox.
MIR. Scoville asked for more time,
stating that prominent members of
the bar had promised to assist him
next week. He also desired to make
a new motion relative to the addi.
tional grounds that he had discovered
for asking for a new trial. These
grounds were unauthorized converse
tions with the jury, by outside par
ties /; and, second, subsequent re
marks of one who expressed that he
thought Guiteau was insane, but did
not dare to say SO for fear that it
would injure him in business and in
public estimation.
Scoville read afidavits sworn and
subscribed to by himself, setting
forth in detail the grounds stated.
He had not prepared formal mos
ton, but presumed it would be
sufficient if he would do so during
the day.
Corkhill said the time for filing
such motions and afidavits had ex-
pired.
Scoville then read affldavits and
other papers fled by him, with his
motion for new trial.
Corkhill said he would prove the
signatures were base forgeries o1
members of jury, denying that they
had bought or seen the "Critic" Oh
any other paper during the trial: He
also read affidavits to show that Sny.
der was a for, er and unwerthy OF
belief. He submitted the affdavits
without argument. The court said he
would render a decision to morrow,
and would now hear the arguments
Scovills then proceeded to support
his motion for new trial.

RICHMOND.
Trying to Catch the Lobbyists.

Trying TO CaCcn the L0Ooy1SoS'
RICHMOND, Va, February I'm
the Senate to-day resolution was
introduced to enlarge the scope OF
the investigation provided for in a
resolution adopted few days ago,
directing an inquiry to be made into
charges against certain unnamed of1-
GERS, of attempting to corruptly 1n>
fuence the votes of members. The
object of the new resolution is to
carry the investigation back to the
session of 1880, in regard to
which rumors of corruption are also
current. A long and spirited dis
cussion arose over the resolution,
which was finally adopted by vote
of 21 to s.
