White was acting in sneaking way in the,
matter. White said something about
somebody drinking, when Phister gesticu-
lated vehemently and pulled his beard
vigorously. The attention of the galleries
began to be attracted, and those about
them interfered. White went back 10 his.
seat and Phister cooled down. There will
be no duel.
CHANCE FOR ORATORS WHO DON'T CRATE.
Next week in the house will be gala
one for members who want leave to print.
The tariff bill will be taken up
on Tuesday, and after five hours general
debate speeches will be limited to five min
utes each A rough estimate is that every
member of the house will want to say
something on the subject. Not more than
a score of them can say that something in
five minutes. Nearly every man will be
armed with written speech, and as soon
as the gavel falls at the end of his five min
utes he will ask leave to print the balance of
his remarks. That leave will be granted.
There Is in the house on such matters too
much of what Sam Cox calls reciprocity
of brigandage'' for it to be otherwise.
THE woMAN sUFFRAGIsTs.
The women will take Washington by
storm next week. The annual meeting of
the Woman's Suffrage association is to be
held here next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. The ancient but spright-
ly Susan B. Anthony will give
her opinion of man in delivering
her opening address. Mary Wright Sew
ell will tell ''The Lesson of the Nebraska
Campaign" Lily Devereux Blake, viva
cious and pretty for one of her years, will
discuss the question rs it Crime to a be
Woman?" Phoebe Cousins will mash the
reporters and talk about "A Woman With
out Country" Other lights of the move
ment will shine.
THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
The following letter, written by member
of the tariff commission, shows that
one of them, at least, was not only work
ing for special interest, but also knew
the value of the press.
LONG BRANoH, Aug. Is, 1882.-James F..
Giffen, "a Baronne street, New Orleans
DEAR SIR: enclose you manuscript copy
of some remarks made by Mr.. Dymond this
morning before the tariff commission. l
wish you would take it to one of the papers
either the Pacayune or the Times-and
have it published, with the posi-
tive understanding to send
proof copy to each of the other papers in
the city, including the Bee and the Sugar
Planter, as think this fair exposition of
our interest and our claims to be favorablv
considered by the commission in prepar-
ing the tariff. I beg you will have this,
published in full in all the papers, as, I'M
less it is published the same day in ALL,
some of them might refuse to copy it.
Attend to this Immediately, as.
1 am anxious that the Louisiana
people shall see the ground upon which.
we plant ourselves before the garbled
statements are received from the New
York papers. Yours truly,
DUNCAN f. KENNER.
IMITATION BANK NOTES.
The solicitor of the treasury, as an
nounced in these dispatches afew days ago.
has written an opinion on the rights of
educational institutions or private in
dividuals to manufacture or use for any
purpose whatsoever imitation bank
notes. He declares, what has been declar
ed so often, that no company, firm or in
dividual CAP have, make, use or pass any
thing resembling money, or bearing fig
ure, engraving or color, in whole or in
part used in a bank note or coin. These
notes, while doing nc harm in the educa-
ton Of students, are, it is said by the Sc
cret service men, used in the country por-
tions of Indiana and Tennessee,
in swindling ignorant negroes,
and are dangerous as counterfeits.
A business conegefn Evansville, Ind, has
been using imitation bank notes in its
daily operations for the purpose of familiar
izing its students with handling money and
training them in its business uses. An
agent of the secret service division OF the
treasury department warned the proprie-
tors of the institution that theywere violat-
ing the law in using such notes, and or
dering them to discontinue the practice if
they did not wish to be arrested.
The firm wrote to the de-
partment at Washington that
they had been so notified, and stated that
they would not use any more toy money
with green backs, bat would hereafter, with
the permission of the secretary, use a
brown back. A firm in New York, engaged
in the manufacture of cigars, issued, not
long since, an imitation fve-dollar note as
an advertisement of certain brand, and
the secret service men Immediately cap
tured the whole issue, amounting i'll face
figures to over $1,000,000. Imitation post
Office stamps are also manufactured
in large quantities, to supply the demands,
of stamp collectors. All these prints are
unlawful, but they are constantly appear
ing. One enterprising individual went so
far as to make application for a copyright
on an imitation greenbeck, one-half of
which was left blank for an advertisement.
1t is singular fact that while there is a
law for the punishment of forgers of for
eign stamps, there is none for counterfeit
ing foreign money.
