After much discussion in the Senate, Mr.
Reagan's Interstate Commerce bill, having
for its object the regulation of the railroad
traffic of the country, was passed by that
body last Thursday, but not until after the
adoption of various amendments, which ma
terially change the operations of the pro-
posed law as it emanated in the House OF
Representatives. AS it passed theSenate it
differs from the House bill in the fact main
ly that it provides for q board Of commits
sioners before whom all matters of dispute
are to be brought, who are vested with GER
tain powers to act to accomplish the pur-
poses of the bill. BY the friends of the
House bill, the Senate amendments are re-
garded as sort of compromise, which
amount to nothing as remedy for the evils
complained of. Reagan's bill, as it passed
the House, had earnest supporters in the
Senate, who advocated it in its original
form, because it aimed at something practic-
al and provided the means and methods to
reach what it aimed at. The action of the
Senate is practically to defeat the bill, as
when it goes to the House for concurrence,
Mr.. Reagan and those who supported his
bill will not be content with the emascula-
tions and amendments to which it was sub
jected by the Senate.
- The trial of John c. Ferguson, for the
murder of Arthur NJ. Benedict, in the town
of Abbeville, on last Christmas eve, began
last Friday, in the Court of Sessions, Judge
Pressly presiding. The case-the facts of
which are fresh in the minds of our read
ers-was one of unusual interest to the peo-
pie of Abbeville, and the Court House was
crowded during the progress of the trial:
The killing was not denied, but the plea Of Of
temporary insanity was made, and this gave
the jury the opportunity to fail to agree.
On Sunday morning, after having been
locked up all night, the jury reported to the
court that they could not agree, and by con-
sent of counsel a mistrial was entered. 1t
is understood that ten of the jury were for
acquittal, and two for conviction.

OUR LAURENs CONTEMPORARIES

The Herald and the Merchant and Farmer, both
offices of which were totally destroyed by the
recent fire in I.aurens, have our sympathies in
their misfortune. The proprietor of the Herald
had only recently added new power-press to
his Office equipment, which was DESTROYED, and
the Merchant and Farmer had consummated ar
rangements for issuing semi-weekly, only one
number of which had been printed before the
disaster. Mr.. Crews ofthe Herald, was partially
insured. He has made arrangements for the ear

APPROACHING PARTY CONTESTS
are to be three party contests within the
next two years, which are the tests of par
ty popularity in national sense. These
| tests will occur very early in the history OF
the administration. For that reason the
Democratic leaders are in favor Of very
conservative policy. The two important
elections of this year will be New York and
Ohio. In Ohio Hoadley will be candi-
date for reelection. The Republicans in
that State intend to make fierce fight
against him. The other interesting strug-
gle in the fall will be the contest in New
York where there will also be an election
for governor. The third contest will be the
election in Pennsylvania next year. The
Republicans are already planning for these
campaigns. Mr.. Blaine is still regarded as
their party chief. Many pilgrimages are
made here for the purpose of consulting
with him. He works in the morning upon
his book. In the afternoon and evening he
has more political callers than he had at
any time last year. He will probably have
more to say about the policy Of the Repub-
licans in Congress than any other one man.
Iasked one of the Republican party lead
ers Yesterday what he thought would be the
issue presented by the Republican party in
the coming State contests mentioned above;
He said: "The two issues to be presented
by the Republican party are the protective
taritfDolicy and the question OF southern
supremacy. You can Whet your journalistic
pens for these two subjects. They Will be
the principal ones of the coming year. -

ANOTHER COLD SNAP.-A Chicago dis
patch of Monday says that reports from all
theWestern and Northwestern points lndl-
cate that the heaviest snow storm of the
season prevailed. At noon in that city
business of all kinds was nearly suspended.
Snow lay to a great depth on the streets.
Street cars drawn by horses were moving
only with great difficulty, and in the freight
wards of the railway stations the freight
handlers and train employees were engaged
in an attempt to clear the tracks. Passen-
ger trains only attempted to leave. Meas
urment of the snow fall has not been posi-
BILE by reason of the excessive drifting, but
at least six inches fell between the begin
ming of the storm Sunday night and six
O'Clock Monday morning. At Fort Garry
the mercury has reached Al, and at st. Vim
cent 39 below. This excessively cold wave
is moving eastward. In Chicago at noon
Monday, the mercury stood 20 above zero.
All trains are late and some have been
abandoned.

CHAFF IN THE TRENoHEs.


During the siege there had been good
deal Of friendly sparring between the SOL
diers OF the two armies on picket and where
the lines were close together. All rebels
were known as "Johnnies," all Union troops
as "Yanks" Often Johnny" would CALL
"Well. Yank, when are you coming into
town. The reply was sometimes, "Wo pro-
pose to celebrate the Fourth of July there T"
Sometimes it would he, awe always treat
our prisoners with kindness and do not want
to hurt them;" or "We are holding you as
prisoners Of war while you are feeding your
selves," etc.
The gar rison, from the commanding-g gen.
eral down, undoubtedly expected an assault
on the 4th. They knew from the temper Of
their men that it would be successful when
made, and that would be greater humilia
tion than to surrender. Besides, 1t would
be attended with severe loss TO Thorn. The
Vioksburg paper (which we received regu-
larry through the courtesy of the rebel
pickets) said prior to the 4th, In speaking of
tho Yankee boast that they would take din
ner In Vicksburg that day, that the best re.
csipt for cooking rabbit was, First ketch
your rabbit" The paper at this time, and
for some time prior, was printed on the
plain side Of Wallpaper. The last edition
was Issued ON the 5th, and announced that
we had Caught cur rabbit"
