Western Union Contracts - President
 Green Refuses to Bring Them for the
 Senate Committee.
 WAsHINGToN, Feb 26 6-Dr. Norvin Greens examination before the subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Postofices and Post Roads was continued to-day. When the question relating to contracts was reached Senator Hill formally asked that all contracts with press associations be laid before the committee. This President Green refused to do, and Mir. Gwynn, counsel for the Weste rn Union read 8 statement in defense of his refusal. President Green based his declina ton to furnish the contracts called for on the case of HalIett Killbourne vs ex-Sergeant- at-Arms Thompson. The statement read by counsel on the subject reoitsd that neither the sub committee nor the full com mittee nor the Senate had the right full power to require the witness to produce the contracts. The statement was filed with the committee for it's action. In the course of his further ex examination Dr. Green testified that so far as he knew there had been no recent negotiations between the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph company and the Western Union company looking to 8 consolidation. Chairman Hill said: eve have been informed, and I think I will prove that there has been such negotiation and that the papers have been drawn. :" q think, MT. Chairman" replied Dr. Green, ''that that impression has arisen from the fact that papers were drawn and signed two years ago, but the return of the elder MT. Garrett from Europe knocked the proposed consolidation into a cooked hat" Previous to leaving the room Dr. Green informed Chairman Hill that in the event of determination on the part of the government to purchase the Western Union property he would guarantee that the members of any tribunal or board of arbi- tration under the act of 1866 would be given every facility to examine the books and &C., quaint themselves with the entire business of the company. Chairman Hill could not see how the witness could make this offer and at the same time draw the line against resolution of the Senate which instructed it's committee to send for such matters. Dr. Green said that the cases were not parallel
 A recess was then taken, after which E. R. Chapman. formerly 8 superinten tent of the Mutual Union telegraph company, was heard on the cost of construction. He said that in Missouri and Kansas the Mutual Union were embarrassed In securing the right of way from farmers who had been entrapped into making exclusive contracts with the Western Union for the erection of poles on their farms. These arrangements were made by advance agents of the Western Union when they lea. ned the route the Mutual Union wished to take. The committee will subpoena General Eckert of the Western Union company.

 vile.
 WASHINGTON Feb. 26,-The first witness called this morning before the Senate Com mittee lon Privileges and Elections was Stephen Long, (colored).

Bass replied, 'fYes, and we are not going to stand it Before we will stand it we will shed blood" On Friday night before the riot he overheard a white man say-'We are going to rule this town or kill every d-n niecer in it." "Do you know that any of the witnesses who have testified here have been put in fear?" inquired MT. Lapham. ''I have heard that some of the colored witnesses have been hunted for at night in Dapviile.''
 Manuel Harvey (colored) said he was so smortal feared when he heard there were three dead men on the street that he contin- ued at work. He did not vote."
 James Bu nee, fine looking colored man, who said he had been 8 slave in Halifax, testi- fled to seeing large number of white men with guns and pistols.

Some of the former tainted and were trampled on by others trying to escape One young lad fell over the gallery and frac- tured his leg, whilst several others were badly bruised. During the excitement the actors and actresses assembled on the stage and tried to foassurs the people, but their heroic ef- forts had no effect. When the panic ceased a good many returned to the theater and the performance continued.

Tell us not in disconsolate rhymes: "Life is
n dream void of sense, for the soul is dead
when il goes u sleep and the things arc not
what they appear to be-"
Lifo is real; life is serious; death Is not its
term. dust, thou shalt return TO dust"
The word has not been said for our soul.
Neither joy nor sorrow is our destiny. Our
lot is to act, in order hat each next day may
find us more advanced than the day before.
Art is long; time flies; our hearts, so
courageous, so strong as they eau be, beat
often a funeral march as they advance to
ward the tomb, like drums, veled with a
blnck Grape.
In the immense field OF battle OF the world,
In the bivouac Of life, be no. like the cattle
who let themselves be pushed on in silence;
be a hero in the melee.
Trust not in the future, so laughing as may
he its colors Let the past inter its dead.
Act, act, in the living present, with your
heart in you and God over your head.
All the lives OF the great men make us see
that we can render our life sublime, and In
departing leave behind US in tho sand of time
the imprint Of our steps.
I'm imprint hat another traveller, II ship
wrecked brother, will discover perhaps. in

THE Iowa prohibition law, which is
very sweeping in its character, does not
go into effect until the fourth of July
next, when che manufacture and sale
of all malt and spirituous liquors with
in the bounds of that commonwealth
will be virtually outlawed. However,
in this connection it can be observed
that this law is liable to be repealed by
any future legislature, until the prohi-
bition amendment to the constitution
shall have been submitted to the popu-
lar vote and adopted. 1t is suggested
that in some quarters the courts will
be resorted to with the view of render
ing the new statutory provisions in

The present year is the centennial
OF American Methodism, and this being
the case, n brief review of its progress
during the first century Of its existence
upon our continent may prove of much
interest to many of our readers upon
this sacred Sabbath, which is so gener-
ally and so appropriately observed by
the mass of our ~God-fearing and law
respecting citizens.
In 1854, the year when the Methodist
church was organized in Baltimore,
when Coke and Asbury were acknowl-
edged and set apart as superintendent
or bishops, there were only IA, 9Ss mem
bers, SO preachers, "a church buildings,
no missionaries and no institution of
learning within the bounds of the de-
nomination. But from that time I'M
til the present the growth OF Methodism
has been almost incalculable. This re-
suit was achieved by men who a well
be denominated heroes in the Hottest
sense of the word. Accepting the
motto of John Wesley, their church's

THE boot doesn't 6t so well nor feel
so comfortable when it is upon the
other foot. This seems to be the case,
just now, with the English OK which is
getting badly gored. The British in
weighed against our cattle; now we are
i~nveighing against their cattle. 1t is
more than a case of six of N and a
half dozen of 'tother. The balance is
largely against Old England. Europe
cannot do without American meats,
though Americans can do without
European money. The fact really is
that the more the old world pulls faces
at the new country the worse it III hurt
its law.
