SHARP FILIBUSTERING.

Anderson, ofIOwa, Prevents the Consider
alton of the Union Pacific Funding Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-Wben the
House got down TO business number OF
bills were introduced and referred, among
them being one by Mr.. Anderson, of lows,
providing for the control and regulation of
railroads acquired by the United States
under judicial foreclosure OF forfeiture.
This is the bill introduced by Mr.. An
derson in April last It Is a very long
measure, and Mr.. Anderson demanded its
reading in full, in order to consume time
and prevent as long as possible the offer
ing of motion for the passage of the
Union Pacific Funding bill under sus-
pension of the rules. For an hour and
half the reading clerk was unin-
terrupted in his monotonous reading of the
hill, but at 1880 the proceedings were
diversified by Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, with
a motion to adjourn, which was, however,
declared out OF order pending the reading,
and again the weary clerk resumed his
task.
Finally the bill was finished. Mr.. And
erson, of Iowa, was on his feet immediate
" to introduce bill to establish code
for the District of Columbia-a volume of
321 pages-and called for its reading, Be-
fore the reading of this was finished the

A LOVELY ROW
Stirred Up Among Ritchie Republicans by
Morris Little Machine.

Stirred Up Among Ritchie Republicans by
.--.--7as Morris Little Machine.
RITcHIE c. H., W. VA, June 30.
To The Editor Of the Register:
SIR: The Republicans held mass con-
vention here to-day, to select delegates to
the different conventions. P. w. Morris
was on hand with his packed click, and
had everything fixed to make it Morris
convention, but things did not 60 as
smoothly as he had expected, and then
came the war. 1t was one of the most dis
graceful affairs that ever took place in this
county. Davis and his friends had no
show at all. Morris had q youngster Sc
lected for his chairman that does not know
enough to govern a common school.
Mr.. Davis is an old citizen of this county,
and it is o shame and disgrace that he
should be treated with such contempt at
the hands of Morris and other men Of his
ilk. As it is now Morris has a majority of
the delegates to the West Union conven
ton, but he lost 80 many Repub lean votes
bere Yesterday by bull-beaded machine
work that he can not carry his own county
by at least 200. Now that the convention
is over they do not deny that everything
was cut and dried, and if they had not had
it their way they would have bolted the
convention. Davis is the choice OF the
people of this county, but Morris had all
of his few friends on the ground in good
condition, who came prepared and intend
ed to re- Sc row. 1t would not be P. w.
Morris if he did not do something Of the
kind.
This is the same P. W. Morris that bolt.
ed the convention a few years ago, and
said that the county could not be carried
by the Republicans without the aid of the
Gazette. Two years ago he also refused to
contribute any funds to support Hon. John
A. Hutchinson for Congress. As long as
we are all Morris men We are nice men,
but when we are not he has no use for us
or our friends. The people Of this county
will vote solid for Judge THIS. ]. Stealey
b sfore they will support bolter. A great
many think this will be another good year
for the Democrats here.

RIVERS AND HARB0RS.
THE BILL PASSES THE SENATE WITH
SLIGHT AMENDMENTS.
Il Appnpriatss S22,464, ,76S-Tbs Discussion in sh'
Upper HOuss-Hoar Vehsmsntly Defends tho
Measure as Dawn -Turpis's Tariff
Reform Speech. a

WASHINGTON, July 2 After dispcsing
of some minor routine business, the Sen
ate this morning took up the river and
harbor bill. As to the amendment abol-
ishing the Mississippi river commission,
Mr.. Vest offered to withdraw it, at the re-
quest of Mr.. Paddock, but Mr.. Plumb in
sisted upon vote being taken and made
an argument against the further continu-
ance of the commission. Mr.. Paddock ar
gued against the amendment.
In the course of the discussion, Mr..
Hoar made a vehement denunciation OF
the criticism and abuse 50 generally IN
dulged in by some Senators and by newpa-
pars in relation to River and Harbor bilk.
He had got sick (he saio) of hearing
Senators trying TO blscken the characfs:'
of their own associates in public life by
charging that River and Harbor bills were
made up of miserable bargains, log roll
ings and cheating. =:
Mr.. Vest, a member of the Committee
on Commerce, took the responsibility OF
SAYING that legislation on river and har-
Dor bills was not free from criticism.
After long discussion the amendment
abolishing the Missouri River Commission
was disagreed to.
Mr.. Palmer offered an amendment ap-
propriating $500 for the purchase OF
the Portage Lake and the Lake Superior
ship canals. Agreed to.
The bill was then passed. As originally
reported from the Senate Committee on
Commerce. it appropriated $21, ,562, 1873, as
it finally passed the Senate it appropriated
S22, ,474, 7S3, having been increased by the
Senate. The conference report on the
Natchez bridge bill was presented and
concurred in.
Mr.. Turpie then proceeded to address
the Senate on the Presidents tariff mes
sage, In the course of his speech he said
protection was a good servant, but bad
master, oyer-prcduction, led to oyer-pro-
duction and to consequent staguation and
decay. 1t could not be shown that any
person or corporation who was engaged in
GOOD faith in the business of manufactur-
ing would be injured by the reason
able reduction Of duties proposed in
the Mills bill or that any employe
would be harmed. The emancipation
of labOr from the operation of unjust laws,
the liberation of agricultural, commerce
and manufacturers from inequitable and
impoverishiIg restrictions, the restoration
to the people of their ancient commercial
rights and franchises-it was this that
was proposed by the message of the Presi-
dent.
The consummation Of this would not
be retarded or prevented by the action OF
the Chicago Convention.
At the close of Mr.. Turpie's speech the
Senate proceeded to executive business
ard soon adjourned.

Few Bills For Court Fees and Legal Ser.
vices Presented TO the City.
The Committee on Claims Of the City
Council was called TO meet last evening
and it did meet to listen 10 an explanation
from Ex-City Solicitor Dennis O'Keeffe,
regarding the present status Of the pending
suit of Joseph Campbell against the city
for damages sustained for the loss of one OF
his eyes, an accident which occurred while
Mr.. Campbell was confined as Q prisoner
in the city work house some three years
ago. The plaintiff brought his action be-
fore Justice Peterman for $500 damages,
and secured Judgment for that
amount. The Judgment was Of.
firmed in the Circuit Court on Q
writ of certiorari, but not on an issue on
the merits Of the case. Mr.. O'Keeffe said
he held this judgment to be void, and the
action of the Court above erroneous, and
said his chief reliance in case the
cause should be carried up on Q
writ of error was: fst, on the
the fact that there was NO merit In the
case, and secondly, because the judgment
of the Justice was delayed more than
twenty. -four hours after the verdict OF the
Jury. The case Ia rather complicated one.
Mr.. Alfred Caldwell and Mr.. O'Keeffe ad.
dressed the committee upon the matter,
and after due delibsrstion, Il was determ-
ined to let the matter rest where Il Ia, %
the present and prospective costs, II car
ried to the Court Of Appeals, would form .
very large percentage Of the $500 Of jodg-
ment. With the interest and costs, this
judgment will cost the city about 500.
The committee next took up The oAse OF
Sophia Howell v. the city, in which there
IL Judgment for $50 and costs for the &C
ton Of the Water Board in shutting of
the water from the Howell House. The
total bill. {7S, WA ordered paid.
Mr.. Alfred Caldwell addressed the COM
mittee upon the ejectmsnt suit Of the
city v. Tallman, in which the city was
worsted. He fully explained the matter
and thought il had better be dropped. The
costs to date were s104 05, which were
ordered paid.
The committee then In turn considsred
and ordered paid the following bills:

NEW YORK, July 2.-The Times says:
''The Attorney General of this State heard
arguments on May IA in support Of petit
tious, in which he was urged to bring suit
against the Sugar Refining Company, COM
monty called the Sugar Trust, and against
one of the corporations absorbed by that
organization. He has now decided that it
is important to ascertain by judicial in
vestigations whether the allegations
set forth in the petitions are true. 1t is
stated that application will at once be
ms de- to the Supreme Court for leave to
bring au action in the name of the people
against the North River Sagar Refining
company. The permission of the court Is
not rcq uired in the case Of the Trust, and
for that reason il is possible for the Attor-
ney General to proceed against the Trust
without much delay.

Wheeling Defeats the Kickapoos in Nice
Game-Other Games.
Wheeling defeated Zanesville in the
first game Of the series yesterday through
the lucky bunchiDg Of their opponents
errors, and brilliant playing at critical
points of the game. The 800 spectators
who attended got their moneys worth, as
the contest was as exciting as anyone
could desire from start to finish, and the
kicking, which commenced before the
game, by Captain Swift's objection to the
crowd under the trees in left field, grew
more fast and furious with every inning,
until, at one time it looked very squally
for umpire Hall, and he WAS obliged to call
upon the police for protection from trio

by Nicholson and Fry, and the good pitch

noticeable features. Duck WAS very wild,
but bis delivery was 90 effective that our
slugglers only succeeded in getting five
scattered hits. He managed to catch two

Hall tumbled to his little game at last,
and after he had given two or three men
their bases on his illegal delivery, he
pitched square ball. Hall made very
poor impression here, and it is probable
that he will not oficiate at the 4th of July
games.
