WASHINGTON.
A plea for O.DonneII,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-A self-constituted
committee, consisting of Representatives Fin
erty of Illinois, Cox of New York, Murphy of
Iowa, McAdoo of New Jersey, and several
others, called upon President Arthur today
and urged him to intercede with view of OBJ
tanning Communication of sentence in behalf of
O'Donnell, recently sentenced to death in Lon
don for the murder of Carey, the informer.
Mr.. Cox acted as spokesman and presented
the case to the President very eloquently The
President received the delegation very pleas
antly, and seemed much interested in Mr..
Coxs statement, He said that the State De-
partment would at once telegraph to Minister
Lowell 70 make all Inquiries possible of the
prisoners citizenship, and he would take what
ever action he could with propriety.
Joint Committee ON Salaries.
The joint committee to regulate salaries of
employees of the Houses of Congress will hold
meeting next Tuesday. A proposition will
be made and discussed to discriminate in the
rates paid committee clerks those who have
little else to do than act as private secretaries
of chairmen of committees, and increasing the
salaries of such as have responsible duties to
perform in connection with legislation referred
to or emanating fran their committees.
Senate Caucus Committees.
The Senate eaucus committees of both par
ties have been in session today, and have fin
ished their work of recasting the membership
chairmen of the two committees held brief
conference, at which it was decided to lay the
result OF the labors of the committees before
their respective caucuses, to be called at 1890
on Monday morning. If the work is approved
by the caucuses, the senate committees will be
formally named by the Senate on Monday.
Work Before Congress
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The regular order of
business of the House of Representative to-
morrow will be the call of States for the intro
duction of bills and joint resolutions for refer
ence only 1t is probable that no business of
Importance other than the introduction of bills
will be transacted by the House during the
week, and not more than two or three days
will be passed in session.
In the Senate it is not probable that any
measures of importance will be reported from
the committees during the week. The Sena-
tors therefore will have an opportunity, and
will doubtless utilize it to call up by unani-
NOUS consent the measures upon which they
have prepared formal speeches, in order tn at
the subject may be properly laid before the
Senate and country, but not for the purpose of
want of discussion.
Miscellaneous.
The Post will say tomorrow authoratively
that Mr.. Randall will be made chairman Of
the House appropriation committee.

duce in the House today bill providing for

The Pacific Bank.


A Washington despatch states that Repre-
sentative Ranney of Massachusetts denies the
report that he will appear before the grand
jury in Boston and present evidence for the in
dictment of the directors and officers of the
wrecked Pacific Bank. Mr.. Ranney does not
think that there are adequate grounds for pro-
ceeding criminally against the managers Of the
house. Early this week, however, bill in
equity will be filed against the directors and
cashier of the bank for an accounting and the
recovery of so much money as can be obtained
for the benefit of the stockholders and credit
ors. The bill accuses the directors and officers
of the bank of violation of law and neglect of
duty. Mr.. Ranney is counsel for the receiver
appointed by the comptroller of the currency
The delay in bringing proceedings against the
derelict officers was caused by the necessarily
slow investigation of all the facts regarding
the failure, upon which facts government
counsel had to rely in preparing the bill In
equity. There has been considerable COM
plaint on the part of certain creditors because
attachments were not issued by the govern
ment against the property of the directors.
The government did not regard the issuance of
attachments under the circumstances as prac-
ticable. The bill will be filed in the United
States Circuit Court. 1t will be remembered
that when the comptroller of the currency
gave the directors OF the bank permission to re
sumo business, the directors agreed to give
bonds that certain doubtful assets should real
ize the sum of $150.000. This bond was signed
by all but two of the directors. 1t was requi-
site that these doubtful securities should rep
resent the foregoing sum in order to give the
bank the semblance of solvency. Because two
OF the directors did not sign the bond, the
board refused to consider it valid instrument,
and the guarantee under the law is regarded
as worthless. There is said to be no evidence
that anV of the directors or officers have trans.
ferred their property to avoid meeting their
legal responsibilities, and 1t is hoped that
considerable portion of the money due share
holders and creditors may be recovered.

What Slavery Was.

With the exception of few highly favored
house servants, the physical condition Of
the slaves was indescribably wretched. A
bushel of corn and eight pounds of salt pork
per month were considered large allow
ance for full grown man. The huts in
which they lived left them largely exposed
to the mercy of the elements. Their beds
were boards, and their covering a misera-
BILE blanket, with which they were served
not even once year. Much of the time
they were worked under the lash in all
weathers. Want, exposure and cruelty
brought to them bodily ills and general
physical deterioration, often to the extent of
repulsive deformity, Men laugh at the ir-
regular makeup Of the negro, but forget
that no people, white or black. could
preserve the finer attributes of physical
manhood subjected to two hundred aud
fifty years of slavery. The woes of the
slave mother can be read in the face, OF
her children. Slavery has twisted their legs.
fiattened their feet, and impaired a de-
pressed and cowardly aspect to their feat
ures. Let those who laugh rather be
ashamed of the crime against human nature
which has produced the deformity over
which they make merry.-LFred Doug

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

Four Important Bills TO be Presented i'm
Congress by Representative Dingley.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Mr. Dingley of Maine
will introduce in the House tomorrow, If that
state be reached in the call, four important
bills relating to shipping
The first is substantially the same as that by
the same author passed by the last House.
The second bill provides for licensing mas
ters of vessels and others as pilots for sailing
vessels in the coastwise trade. upon the same
conditions, SO far as applicable. as pilots are
now licensed for steam vessels, and exempt,
vessels piloted by such licensed pilots from
taking or paying for the services of any State
pilot.
The third bill is ITO encourage American
shipbuilding for the foreign carrying trade
1t extends the act of 1872 admitting free of
duty materials of foreign production for the
construction of wooden vessels for the foreign
carrying trade, SO as to admit in like manner
all materials OF foreign production for the con-
struction, equipment, repairs and supplies of
iron and steam as well as wooden vessels for
the foreign carrying trade. 1t also admits
free of duty materials of foreign production
for the manufacture of articles used in the
construction and equipment of such vessels,
and also materials for the construction of ma
chinery for ship-yards and shops connected
Herewith
The fourth bill establishes bureau of COM
merce and navigation in the Treasury Depart
ment, and authorizes the appointment by the
President of commissioner and deputy CON-
missioner of commerce and navigation, with
such clerks as the Secretary of the Treasury
may detail from the present force. The COM
missioner shall have the general superinten-
dency of the commercial marine and merchant
seamen of the United States; shall have all
questions relating to the issue of registers, en-
rollments and licenses of vessels; shall have
supervision of the laws relating to admeasure-
ment of vessels, assigning letters and numbers
thereto and the Interpretation and execution of
laws relating to those subjects and to tom
mage tax. The commissioner is also charged
with so much of the duties heretofore imposed
upon the Bureau of Statistics, as relates to
navigation and foreign commerce, and is also
authorized to accept international rules for the
commercial marine of the United States, and
keep supervision of the navigable waters of
the United States and report all distractions.
He is to annually prepare and publish list
of vessels of the United States, and is author
lied to change the names of vessels. The
commissioner of commerce Sand navigation is
required to investigate the working of the laws
relating to navigation, and to annually report
such particulars in their operation as may, in
his judgment, admit OF improvement or re-
quire amendment.
