The School Teacher Abroad.-Mr. E. E.
Marriott, who was formerly well-known school
teacher of Baltimore county, and who at one time
taught the Towsontown school, is now engaged in
the same occupation at Buckhorn, Texas. Of a late
entertainment given by his school Texas paper
says: "The house crowded to its utmost ca
pacity by spectators to witness the exercises by
the school under the tutorage of Professor Mar
rott. The scholars, one and all, performed well
their part without once being prompted and it
excelled anything of the kind ever held here in
the past Much credit reflects upon the teacher
for his untiring efforts to make this exercise a
complete success. These school readings, dia-
logues and recitations have the genuine ring in
any community, and should be encouraged. The
magnetic control that the Professor held on the
class for over two hours was particularly noticea-
BILE, and must have been eminently pleasing to his
pride"

Dealing in Diseased Cattle.-Dr. Robert
Ward, the State Veterinary Surgeon, says that
the law for infected cattle will be enforced to its
stricte:t letter. He gave permit for a certain
fat COW, out of herd Of ten quarantined, to be
sent to a slaughter house to be killed. The man
sent with the COW sold her en- route to dealer
from Wilmington, who shipped her with others
from Calverton. DIR. Ward, on learning this, dis
datched to ascertain facts, and a Geographic mes
sage was sent to DIR. W. B. Rowland, the State
Veterinarian at Wilmington, who says the dealer
seemed somewhat surprised when he met the cat
tie at the depot. The man who sold the to
the dealer will have to answer for all this trouble.
dairy farm near Baltimore, in quarantine, sent
several cows to a sale by auction in the county,
contrary to law, and the matter is under inquiry.
In another case dairyman had four cows die
Then two more sckened, and these he shot, leaving
all the carcasses on the surface of the ground
DIR. Ward ordered the carcasses to be buried, and
the place is in strict quarantine. Some cows
were sold off these premises stated to be fat and
sold for slaughter. DR.. Ward says it is the inten
ton now to bring the full penalties empowered
by the law to bear upon vioiators.

The LOSS to the cigar makers of New
York incident to the strike amounts to one
hundred thousand dollars q week, all of
which would have been saved if each of
the one thousand strikers had provided
himself with another place before he left his
one, and thus prevented the lock out of the
other nine thousand. The fact that they
are infctiag heavy loss on the employers
doesn't in the least help them or those who
are dependent on them. The employers
standing the loss without any trouble, are
at home, which, the newspapers say, is
more than the idle employees are doing.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2 1885.

SENATE.
Among petitions presented were several
from various organizations of knights OF
Labor, Of Maine, praying that the territory
known as Oklahoma, may be opened to set
tiers.
Among the measures favorably reported
was q Joint resolution from the Committee
Oh Women Suffrage, providing Tor Con-
stitu.ionsl amendment extending the right
OF suffrage to women.
Dir. Cockrell stated that this report was
not the unanimous judgment of the COM
mi:tee and that the minority reserved Inc
right to present a written report in OPPOSE
ton to the measure.
The resolution was placed on the calen'
dar.
Mr.. Riddleberger offered the following
resolution
Rcsolrcd, That it is the sense Of the Senate
that the executive of the United States is
not restricted by Constitutional law, in re-
moving or suspending appointees that the
Senate has no right to require that reasons
shall he given for such removals or suspen-
sons that it is the right of the Senate. to
call for any paper relating to the conduct OF
removed or suspended appointees, or to the
qualification and fitness of all persons whose
names are presented to the Senate for con.
lirmation or rejection, and it Is the duty OF
the executive TO comply with all demands
for the same.
In Offering the resolution, Mr.. Riddleber-
ger said his purpose was simply to bring the
subject up ia open debate. 1t did not in
volve any so-caled high prcrogatives of the
Senate when it should go into secret or exc
cu.ive session, but only that abstract ques-
ton as to whether the executive could be
called on or required to give reasons for re.
mova5.
Mr.. Riddleberger asked for the i'm mediate
consideration of the resolution.
Mr.. Cockreil objected.
Mr.. Pugh said he would submit either TO
day or tomorrow substitute for Mr.. Rid.
dleberger's resolution.
The matter then went over.
Mr.. Stanford offered q resolution, which
was agreed TO, providing for an investga-
ton by the Committees on Public Buildings
OF both houses OF Congress into charges made
in 1858, and now being renewed, against the
official conduct of Samuel Strong during his
superintendent of tho public buildings.
HOUSE.

nal Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, offered the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Rcsoiued, That the House has received
with profound sorrow the intelligence Of the
death Of Thomns A. Hendricks, late Vice
President OF the United States.
Resolred, That the business of the House
be suspended in order that the eminent SER
vices and private virtues Of the deceased
may be appropriately commemorated.

livered by Mr.. Bynum, of Indiana, and
others.

Now THAT the highest court in the land
has again emphasized the constitutional
provision that no State can pass law i'm
pairing the obligation of contract, and
that consequently the coupons of Virginia
bonds, bearing on their face contract that
they arc receivable in lieu Of money for all
State dues, shall be so received, it is hoped
the Virginia Legislature will at once stop
its vain and puerile attempts to obstruct
and delay the settlement of the State debt
in the only way it can be ssttled-on terms
satisfactory to the creditors. 1t is fortunate
for the State that the creditors are disposed
to make large concessions in order to effect
settlement that may be satisfactory to
Virginia also.

No. 3, night express, ran into u freight train

No. 3, was killed, his body being terribly
scaided aud mutilated. G. w. Ettinger,
master machinist of Richmond, had his right
arm and leg badly broken, and received a
bad scalp wound. Zage Lowry, of Rich

gerous. Charles Smaller, OF Stanton, the
engineer of the freight train, had his back
badly sprained and his body bruised. The
only passenger hurt was DR.. Laferty, of
Richmond, who was standing in the sleep
ing car and was knocked down and bruised,
but not seriously. The accident was caused
by criminal negligence. The freight train
was on side track waiting the arrival of
the express. The conductor told his brake
man, Samuel Vie, that when the express
passed he should turn the switch. Vie went
to sleep and was aroused by passing
freight train. He got up and changed the
switch just as the express came in sight, and
before the fatal error was discovered the
train dashed on to the siding and the en-
giues locked, the two boilers being jammed
together.
This was the Louisville Express train on
the Virginia Midland road which left this
city at 555 o'clock yesterday evening.
The engine and crew were changed at Char
