TUSCALOOSA, ALA, July 14.-In the
present chrysalis state OF negotiations
and construction of the two protected
railroads from Memphis to Birming-
ham, the city and citizens of Tusca-
loosa claim the floor for a hearing.
Within thirty days, barring a Presi-
dental veto, work will begin to lock
and dam the Warrior river within our
city limits. This river is navigable
below this city for eight to ten months
in tho year, and the contemplated inn
provemsnts will make it also naviea-
BILE during the same season, into the
heart ei the Warrior coal measures.
Now II this city aud river were con-
nected by rail with the Mississippi
river at Memphis and Kansas City II
would open q commercial gate through
which would flow an astounding
stream Of provisions and merchandise 80.
All the towns and landings on the
Warrior and Bigby rivers below here
would find this the cheapest and most
direct route for such supplies as they
cannot or will not raiee at home. The
amount oil -four, corn, bacon and lard
already received and distributed
here, is both astounding and alarm
ing. Secondly, this city is connected
by rail with Selma, by way Of Akron,
and Meridian, by way OF Ala.
bama Great Southern Railway, and
all intermediate depots and towns;
and the trade In provisions in the
rich ~canebrake country between the
Warrior add Alabama rivers is i'm
mense. Aud when the contemplated
road FROM Memphis, and the road
from She field, all meet up in Walker
county, in the region of Days Gap,
full freighted with immense provision
trains, from the great Northwest, the
engines painting and piping, from the
red hot fires OF that famous splint
coal, will overlap all barriers and
force a steel pathway to this neglected
region, We know that the Birming-
ham loadstone will draw the first
fruits, but there is a harvest down this
way that capital and enterprise will
not finally fail to reap. Tuscaloosa
stands ready to aid, with mineral
lands and money, any OF these COM
panies, that will build the branch OF
thirty.fve miles to our city and river.
The route from here to Days Gap or
Jasper is covered with the finest for
ests OF long leaf pines, and under.
meath the surface are many seams OF
rich btu ninous coal. Every induce
ment, embracing right of way, ex-
emptlon from county taxes and frse
terminal facilities, viii be cheeriully
furnished.
Col. Galloway has many friends in
this region who would be pleased ia
have the powerful aid Of his practical
pencil in behalf Of our neglected and
uunoticed hand, eagerly stretched ont
for q cordial and commercial grasp OF
the hand Of Memphis,
JOHN S, KENNEDY.

il Is the duty Of the Senate to permit
the petitioners to resent their evil
dence and 10 authorize the issue OF
proper process 10 aid in procuring tho
attendance OF witnesses. The Senate
is the only court which can have juris-
dic.ion Of the question. The courts OF
Ohio may exercise Jurisdiction OF the
offence Of bribery, but could not de-
eide whether the result OF an election
was thereby changed. ForThe Senate
to refuge to listen to this COMPLAINT
would be taken as a declaration thatlt
is Indifferent TO the question whether
its seats are to be in TIE future
the subisct OF bargain and sale,
or may Re presented by a
few millionaires rs a compliment
to a friend. The report sets forth a
feries OF ten propositions" which
Messrs. Little and Buiterworth offer
upon their own responsibility, to
establish 10 the satisfaction OF the Sem
ate, largely by Witnesses who were not
within reach Of the Ohio Committee.
In brief, among these r the follow
ing: Thr~ee-fourths OF the members oil
the Legislature we're pledged to PEN
dleton and Ward that just before the
legislative caucus large sums OF money
were placed by Mr.. Payne's son and
other friends at the control OF the
active managers OF Nj. Psyne's AN
vass that a gentleman, whose name
is offered to be given, would declare
that David X. Paige had said he
handled $65,000, ana that Oliver b.
Payne had said II cost him 100000 to
elect his father; that the msmbeIs OF
the Legislature who changed from
Pendleton to Payne did go after secret,
confidential interviews with agents
who hsd the disbuis. ment OF these
moneys, and that these mem
bers about that time offered large
sums Of money, for which they
do not satisfactorily account.
The report digcufsee the above men
toned features of the case at great
length and the conclusion is reached
that an investigationis warranted. The
question is not, the report Gays,
whether the case is proved. IL is only
whether IL shall be Inquired into. No

compelled to testify and no process
had gone cut which could GRO 8 safe
lines. II would hardly be doubted
that cases OF purchase Of SEATS in the
Senate would rapidly multiply under
the decision proposed by a majority OF
the committee. The first great prece-
dent to constitute the rule under this
branch Of law was 10 be this: "Held
by the Senate Of the United States
that a charge made by the Legislature
of a State, aud by the commit ee of a
political party to which the larger
numer Of its citizens belong, nnd by
ten OF its Representatives in Congress,
that an e'ec ion of q Senator was pro-
cured by bribery, accompanied by the
offer to prove the fact, does not de.
serve the attention of the Senate"
The report concludes with a resolution
directing sn investigation Of the
cha'gss aud with a recommendation
tina, 1t be adopted.

Expected to See Hudson Hanged.
SrARKE, FLA, July 10.-Two little
negro girls, daughters of Sam Jones,
were burned TO death near this place last
night about 10 o'3lock. The children,
aged respectively and 10 years, have
been in the habit OF sleeping on some
fodder over the wagon shed, about thirty
yards from the house. They went to bed
last night as usual, and it is thought had
some matches with them and some pine
spinters. The ladder was at one end OF
the shed, while they slept at the other
end.
The supposition is that they set fire to
the pine, stuck it in crack, arranged
their bed, aud went to sleep, negl2cting
TO put out the light, which, falling in the
dry fodder, enyeloped the building in
flames ia "A few moments between the
children and the ladder, rendering escape
Impossible, as there was no other mode
OF exit from the loft.

away beard the children screaming about
10 O'Clock, and ran over as fast as possible.
arOusin2 the mother, as he passed hed
capin, lie ran to the ladder, but II fell
as he touched 1t, having burned off at the
top. In few moments the roof fell in,
and IN a short while the floor burned
through, letting fall the blsckened and
charred remains OF the two little girls tG
the ground below, a distance six or seven
feet. The poor mother tainted at the hOr-
rible spectacle and has had only intervals
Of consciousness since.
The bodies were burned beyond recog-
milton and in a fearful manner, the arms
and legs being entirely severed from the
bodies, the vital organs exposed and the
brain charred. They were the only chill
dren living Of the parents, who have pres
VOusly lost six.

HENNEPEN CANAL CASH.

Without Reaching IA Conclusion.
WASHINGTON, July l0.-The river and
harbor bill was again taken up in the
Senate to-day, and Mr.. Miller addressed
the Senate in support of the Hennepin
canal appropriation amendment. The de-
bate on this amendment was long, aud
was characterized by sharp intercnanges
between Messrs. Miller and Ingalls, and
Messrs. Logan and ingalls,. Messrs.
Platt, Teller, Palmer, Chase ana others
took part in The debate. Messrs. Miller,
Chase, Logan and Palmer were the chief
advocates Of the amendment.
Mir. Platt preferred that the government
should try the experiment of building and
operating a railroad over the proposed
canal route.
MIR. ingalls, opposed the expenditure of
public money for the creation OF a water
way where none had existed and favored
the improvement OF the Great harbOrs on
the oceans and the great natural water
ways. lie said the reason for the Oppos-
tiOn by the press (which had been refer.

were appropriations to the amount of i've
millions, Whlch could he characterized

AUGUSTA, GA, July 10.-As telegraphed
yesterday, the Augusta factory closed to-
day because of the refusal TO advance

THE BILL RECOMMITTED.
OUTRAGED THEIR INTEGRITY.
Republican Trickery in a Congress
sional Committee.

sional Committee.
WASHINGTON, July 10-The House
Committee on Elections Thursday per.
petrated an outrage upon the integrity OF
the committee. Thursday morning when
the committee met there were present six
Republicans and four Democrats. They
had no sooner been called to order than a
motion was made to adjourn until De
cember, which was carried. To have got
ten more Democrats present to prevent
the contemplated action was impossible.
The real motive of the action by the Re-
publicans was to protect Mr.. Pierce, of
Rhode Island, whose seat is beng con
tested by Charles II. Page.
Mr.. Pierce is charged with bribng and
purchasing voters and with general cor
ruptiOn OF the ballot box by the eXtrava-
giant use of money. Another charge il
that of having used cOlored tickets, which
were given the employees OF the mills for
the purpose of knowing how they voted.
A member of the committee SAID that,
with the charges substantiated, there
could be no doubt about Mr.. Pierce beine
ousted.
The secret to this action is that the Re.
publicans are apprehensve of the cam
paign literature il would make in the
coming election. BY deterring action
until after the election they will not b.
compelled to meet the charges. as no &c
tiOn would be taken by the House. 1t
was the intention Of Mr.. Turner, chair
man OF the committee, to report the mat
ter TO the House. This the Republicans
found out and sought TO take the advan-
tage they did. The action is final, and
there is no method by which it can be re-
considered.
