TON PLATT, Ex-GoV. Cornell and slas B.
butcher as the friends of NJ. Levi Morton,
as they say in Paris, and Gen. Sharpe, Jim
Warren, Congressman Burleigh as the
friends Of President Arthur are pushing the
senatorial fight vigorously, indeed little too
ardently. None of these advocates are
members of the legislature and their
methods has provoked the jealousy of some
OF the members of that body, who are in
clined to give these parlisans to understand
that they do not own the earth or legislature,
either. This state Of mind has brought out
the name of w. NJ. Evarts as legislative
candidate, and those proposing him effect to
believe that the Morton-Arthur fight will
make him available as a compromise candi-
date. While there is no great probability that
either Morton or Arthur can be chosen, there
is still less prospect for Evarts. The out
look at this time points TO the necessity Of
taking some new man, and as matters grow
more heated this will become more and more
apparent. 1t was this belief that forced
Chauncy NJ. DereW to retire, and Evarts
has, in every way, far less strength than he.

Southern Pacific Land Grant.

The senate committee on public lands yes
terday decided, by nearly unanimous vote,
in favor of the forfeiture OF the Texas Pacific
territorial land grant assigned to the South
ern Pacific Railroad company. A motion was
then made to restore the land TO tho public
domain without other action than is provided
for in the house bill would, in the opinion OF
some members of the committee leave the
land subject to appropriation under existing
laws for speculative purposes. 1t is proposed
to consider and perhaps amend certain fea-
lures of tho house bill so as to make sure that
the land will be available for no other pur-
pese than actual settlement. A special meet
ing will probably be held in day or two to
dispose Of the matter.

Mr.. SHELLEY's report against the bill to
incorporate a new gas, electric and feel
company is the subject of much comment
among the citizens as we'll as among Mem
bers of Congress. Some very ugly rumors
arc in circulation which are in keeping
with the former methods Of the Washing
ton Gaslight Company. 1t is known that a
prominent lobbyist called on one ofthc gen.
tlemen who was interested in the proposed
bill as an incorporation, and informed him
that he had been offered a retainer of 81 900
by the Washington Gaslight Company, but
that he had not concluded which side he
would take. He was informed that the
new company had no money to spend in
that way that their bill must go through
on its merits or fail. Other suggestions
were made, such as being able to six it SO
q ready-made report could be furnishc1 4,
which would be adopted If the proper in
ducements were offered. These induce
ments were not offered, and, as result, we
have an adverse report on the bill. The
bill and report ought to be reconsidered
and recommitted to the committee with
view of looking into these
rumors, and for the further
purpose of getting favorable report
on the bill, with view to giving to the
people of this District better aud a cheaper
lipht

decided "no."

With great enthusiasm and with auuanimity
that was not marred by single selfish or in-
sidious manifestation, the State Democratic
Convention OF Pennsylvania instructed for

In the public service, and no is 80 poor that
the strictest frugality with him is matter OF
necessity. Through every storm, crisis, and
period OF demorallzation-when many Demo-
Gratis, passion-smltten, wandered into forbid
den paths-Randall held fast TO the Constitu..
tion when 1t was darkest for his party, and
when in the night and tempest the timid only
spoke In whispers, Randall's voice rang out
like the clarion which summons to pattlo

A curious scene was witnessed tho other day

THE FREE BRIDGE BILL.
The Opposition of the Commission
ers at Direct Variance With the
Wishes of the People.

"Not logical argument in all that de-
bate yesterday in the House was used
against the construction Of free bridge
across the Potomac" said merchant to a
CRITIC reporter this afternoon.
"And why did it meet with such oppo-
sition ?" asked THE CRITIC.
Cant you sec that every fellow who
spoke against the bill gave as reason
that the Commissioners opposed it, and
they were guided by the desires Of the Com
missioners, whom they referred to as the
representatives Of the people OF the Dis
trict."
Thought the Commissioners had recon-
sideIed the matter and had announced
through tho press their Endorsement of the
project?"
80 they did, but it looks to me like the
high-fed, terrapin- backed directors of the
toll bridge had been spreading their per
suadin' influence around in some direc-
tion," said the merchant as he ticklod the
reporter under the fifth rib and walked OF.
