of them will take the Red Line cars on st.

l Heated Controversy Between
senators Logan and Vance.
Special to the Times-Democrat.

Special to the Times-Democrat.
WASHINGTON. Jan. BIT is reported
that rather heated talk took place be.
tween Senators Logan and Vance, last
evening, soon after Logan finished his
last speech in the Fitz John Porter case.
In his speech Mr.. Logan, referring to
the solid democratic vote in favor of Fitz
John Porter, said: "This vote means that
that side of the chamber is ready to res
store those who played us false or acted
q false part on our side during the
war :"
Mr.. Vance walked over towards the re-
publican side, and meeting Mr. Logan
near the main entrance TO the chamber,
said: "that was d-n mean speech OF
yours. Logan"
Mr. Logan replied that he was sincere
in what he said, and that he didn't mean
to hurt anyone's feelings.
Mr.. Vance said: "Whether you did or
not you impunged the motives of South-
ern Senators in not voting with you, and
you made charge that is wholly I'M
founded and uniustifable. You know
very well that the Southern Senators
have not said word in this debate on
the Fitz John Porter case, and haven
attempted to influence any votes in his
behalf We have voted to suit ourselves
and that We have right to do without
having flung at us such charge rs you
have made. The Porter case was not
brought up by us and was not cham.
pioned by us. The case is under the
sole care of two Northern Senators-one
republican the other democrat. II
we didn't want to read the evidence or
listen to your speech, that was no reason
for your attack on u.s."
The two Senators had good deal
more talk of the same character, during
which both showed considerable temper

The so called Civil Service Re-
form Bill" passed the House without
amendment, on the 4th inst, and will
doubtless receive the Presidents ap>
proval. 1t is one of the most trans,
parent humbugs that was ever coop
cred into shape by Congress, and
will be as Intellectual as the law pro-
posing to effect the same objects that
was the standing joke OF the Hayes
regime. The civil service can only
be reformed by "a general house
cleaning from cellar to garrett as
Gen. Cerro Gordo Williams, of Ken
lucky, said, and the Democrats expect
to effect that at the polls in 1884,
and to start the reform in earnest
after the Inauguration of President
of their choice.

Encouraging Tobacco PrOduc'
ton.


Mr. Morrill,, Chairman of the Com
rnittee on Finance, reported back the
bill to the Senate on January 4th,
TO ret.iice Internal Revenue Taxa.
ton
This bill as it passed the House,
juno 27th, 1882, contained six pages,
hnt in its amended form two of the
original pages are erased, and a hun>
drei and thirty five new ones added.
It was withdrawn last July, as our
readers remember because OF the
fact that The friends of the small
tobacco producers, succeeded in get
ting in several amendments favora-
BILE to them, but the committee seems
to have reconsidered its action in
that matter, and come to the conclu>
sion not only to let those amend
ments stand, but to defend and
advocate them.
One of these amendments, and one
for which the Examiner has been
fighting for years, reads as follows:
Farmers and producers of To-
"bacco may sell at the place Of
'production tobacco of their own
''growth and raising at retail directly
to consumers, TO an amount not,
exceeding one hundred dollars an
"nually."
Secondly
thereafter the special tax OF n
"Iealer in manufactured tobacco shall
mot be required from any farmer,
"planter or lumberman who furnishes
"such tobacco only as rations or
supplies to his laborers or en-
"ployees in the same way other sup
"plies are furnished them, provided
"that the aggregate so furnished
"shall not exceed one hundred pounds
sin any enc year"
The latter amendment which was
introduced by Senator George will
doubtless be made even more liberal
before the passage of the bill, and an
effort will be made to increase the
scope of the other.
The effect of the first amendment
will be benefcally felt on many plan-
tations and farms in our section, for
it will authorize the producers of
tobacco to dispose of their little
crops of the weed without hindrance
or expense, and make tobacco what it
once was medium of trade and
barter among the agricultural labor
ers.
Under existing circumstances, the
producer who wishes to retail his
little crop of tobacco to his neigh
bors, must first pay q tax of two
hundred and fifty dollars.
If this amendment becomes law
it will give great encouragement to
the culture of tobacco in this region,
and soon cause it to assume an inn
portaut place among our agricultural
products.

The Fight Against Cheap Trans
pOrtatiOn.

Last week Mr.. Page, of California,
Chairman OF the Committee on Com
merce of the House of Representatives,
called upon the Secretary of War to
designate such items in the River and
Harbor bill passed over the Presidents
veto last year, as he regarded as useless,
was.eful, extravagant rpartaking of the
nature of "jobbery'" After several days
of careful study of the bill and the
reports upon which it was founded, the
Secretary confessed his inability to find
any such items, and appeals to Gen.
Wright, Chief Engineer of the Army, for
assistance in the search. Gen. Wright
responded that he could do nothing for
him, as the book of estimates had been
carefully revised before it was submit
ted to the Committee, and that every
estimate was founded upon accurate
surveys, and that these estimates only
included such works rs we're not only Of
commercial utility and advantage, but
perfectly feasible. And that the Appro-
priation bill represented but small
percentage of the works favorably re,
ported upon.
The New York journals and other
sheets working in the interest of the
great rail road corporations, have labor
ed zealously in season and out of season
to create public sentiment that would
antagonize the development of the
peoples roadways-the interior rivers
and lakes-and thus retain for their
masters the absolute control of the car
rying trade; but though often challenged
they have not been able to specify q
single useless or extravagant item in the
River and Harbor bill of 1882, or to
point out single instance that involved
sob" or 'steal."
The simple issue is between the arti.
ticial transportation routes whose cont oil
is i'll the hands of capitalists, and the
cheap roadways of nature. The man
who opposes the improvement of the
rivers by aid of the General Government,
allies himself with the great corporations
in fight against cheap transportation
That is all there is in it.

The Cincinnati Commercial insists
upon regarding Ohio as a pivotal
State, and says: "A Republican
victory here in October 1888, will
mean Republican President in
1884" The fault in this prediction
lies in the fact that every sensible
Democrat is ready to concede that
Ohio is Republican State, and ex-
poets it to go Republican next Octo>
Der and every October, hence such q
result will not tend in the slightest
degree to the Generalization of the
Democratic party. To be sure we
carry it occasionally like we do Wis
consin, Maine and Massachusetts,
but we never capture any one of the
four in Presidential years and have
ceased to anticipate such political
accidents.
