worth n Licking.

Some years ago, in Georgia, that
band of Chr.s 'ans known as Ascen-
sionists were having grand revival.
One day, when the meeting was In
full force, storm came up, and a
young gent leman who was out huot
ing with his servant took refuge in
the church door. Being curious to
see th service, the two hunters crept
up into the gallery, and the re hid in
a place where they could observe
without being observed.
"Come, Lord, come, our robes are
ready. Come, Lord, come,' cried
the preacher, while all present gave
loud "Amen."
"Marsa Gabe," whispered Cuffey,
lifting his hunt ing horn to his mouth,
slet me glib dem iist one toot."
"Put that horn down or I'll break
your head,,' replied the master 10 a
whisper.
The horn dropped by Cuffev's side
and again the minister cried: "Come
Lord, come we are all ready for thy
coming. Come, Lord, come"
"Do, Marsa Gabe-do jist femme
glib 'em jist one little toot," pleaded
Cutfey, wetting his lips and raising
the horn.
"If you don't drop that horn,
Cuffey, I'll whip you within an inch
of your life" whispered the exssper-
ated master.
"Blow, Gabriel, blow; We are
ready for his coming. Blow, Gabriel,
blow" pleaded the minister.
Cuffsy could no longer resist the
temptation, and sent wild peal
ringing from end to end Of the church
but long before its last echo died
away his master and himself were the
only occupants of the building.
"I's ready fur de licking, Marsa
Gabe," said Cuffey, showing every
tooth IN his head, "for clare to

FAlBMoxr, January lS.-The Baltimore

force to work at grading in their line at
Little Falls, about six miles above Morgan
town, on the east side OF the Monongahela
river in Mouongahela county. The force

The West Virginia and Pennsylvania Com

the MonOngahels, near Rieversville, for
some days. 'rr
Both corporations are thus doing some

not now be predicted. The Baltimore and

exhibit the usual energy and push With
which that corporation moves when 1t Is

The decision by the House Committee on

that the original grant was made to Tom

sIocUM's ABLE DEFE qsE

WAsHrSGToN. January ls.--In the House
to day Slocum spoke in support Of the bill
for the relitf OF Fitz John Porter. he said
il any gentleman desired q clear, concise
conception OF this case he could find it in
the few pointed, comprehensive sentences
uttered by General Grant He drew
picture of the excitement
that existed at the time OF Porter's trial
and without casting any aspersion on
the court declared the result foregone
conclusion. Up to the time OF his arrest
there bad not been q stain upon Porter't
escuicheon But in the time Of intense
excitement, when mems passions usurPed
their reason, his brilliant reputation was
no shield. For twenty long years that man
had suffered as even the worst criminals
seldom suffered, but day Fitz John Porter
no matter what the aclion OF Congress
would be he stood before the world folly
viudicsted No, not vindicated. but award
ed the highest praise by the most eminent
military authority Of the country. The
same men who ruined Porter struck q
deadly blow at Sherman, and he had seen

Sherman refuse bis hand TO the Secretary
of var because he hsd attempted TO throw
disgrace up on him. IL was his (Slocum's)
firm belief that had not the war closed as
1t had, Sherman's name would have been
placed side by side With that OF Porter.
Mr. Slocum's speech Wn warmly ap-
plaudej. The House agreed to hold . s.s-

WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator Hoar' s
electoral count bill as passed by the Senate
at least declares, With sufficient certainty,
how the vote shall be counted to avoid
further complications, should the House
determine TO concur in its adoption. 1t
provides for the determination OF each
State, at leas. elk days before the time
fixed for the meeting of electors, OF any
controversy concerning the appointment OF
such electors, and declares that Congress
shall be in session on the second Wednes-
day in February succeeding the meeting OF
the electors to count the votes.
1t also provides that objections to certifi-
Gates of The electoral votes must be made
in counting, signed by at least one Senator
and one member OF the House Of Represen-
tatives, and submitted without argument.
1t requires the affirmative votes of both
houses to reject vote from any State
from which but one return has been re-
ceived, and provides that if more than one
return from State has been received by
the President OF the Senate, those votes
only shall be counted which shall have
been regularly given by the electors whose
appointments have been recognized by the
State tribunals. The bill provides also
that in case OF dispute as to which Of two
or more State tribunals determining the

In brief the bill puts question on the

The occasion Of his visit here last week.
Tie clerk a; the Grand Hotel, where Sena-

Of an overcoat he wore q large gray shawl.
With this gsrment over his shoulders he
did not look like a candidate for the Presi-

THE MEXICAN RECIPROCITY TREATY
Fails 20 Pass the senate by One Vote.
Yesterday.


WASHINGTON, January lS.-The Senate
in executive session rejected the Mexican
treaty. A motion was made to reconsider
the vote perdiDg which the Senate ad
j;urned until Mcnday. Beyond these
f. cts reports in regard to the matter are
contradictory. Some confusion seems TO
exist in the minds Of the Senators them
selves in respect t. certain features Of the
proceedings. Careful inquiry gives
warrant to the belief that the following
S substsu italy the correct statement
OF the course Of events. Several smend-
n!ents are proposed to the treaty, the most
important being one to add cotton fabrics
to the list OF exportable articles, another
extending the time for the ratification OF
the treaty four months. All were defeated
except tue last mentioned, which was
sG pi,d by majority vote. Senators
Adficb, Jones, of Florida, Conger and
Hawley made speeches against the treaty,
and Salisbury and Lapham in its favor.
At four O'Clock the debate closed and q
vote was taken. 1t is understood that
thirty nine Senators voted for ratification
and twenty against, the affirmative vote
being one less than two thirds necessary to
ratify the action. Before the result was
announced Senator Morgan, who voted for
the ratification, changed his vote in order
10 enter a motion 70 reconsider, leaving
the vote IS to u. A motion WAS made to
adjourn till morning. Lost Senator Nor
gan made motion to reconsider. Shortly
afterwards q second motion TO sdjonrn
until Monday was carried. 1t is said that
in view OF the possibility OF
failure on the part Of the Senate
TO reseh a point Of final action before
next Sunday some negotiations had taken
place between the Mexican Ministers and
Representatives OF the United States Look.
il q to an extension OF the time and an
affirmative understanding was reached.
TIE opinion prevails that the action to-
day is tirsl; that the vote to extend the
time Of consideration has no validity, iu
asmuch as it requires the concurrence OF
the Mexican Government and the motion
to reconsider is imperative as the Senate
will not again be IN session until the time
for the ratification, according to the terms
of the treaty, expired.
