Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
HEwLETT's, Va, March %, 1888.
The case Of James I. Lane, William
c. Moore, Luther NJ. Moore (white), and
James Claiborne (colored) for attempted
train wrecking at Beaver Dam, Va, on
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, Feb
ruary 18th came up for examination be-
fore Justices c. II. Vaughan and --
Pollard yesterday. Both sides were very
ably represented by George p. Haw. for
the Commonwealth, and Willerby New
ton, for the accused. The above-men-
toned first three were honorably ac-
quilted. James Claiborne was sent on to
jail in default of surety to await his trial
at the next regular term of the Hanover
County Court.
Farmers are very backward in farming
so far. owing to the cold weather and
heavy rainfall. Scarcely any ploughing
has been done yet. SPERo.

Hemp, jute, sisal-grass, MANILA, and
twines had paid S63, 100000 in taxes
during the last fiscal year; on imports Of
sos, COO, 600, an average ad-rdiorem duty
OF "a. 70 per cent. Did not these figures
speak for themselves he read letter
from prominent farmer in his section
saying that binding.twine cost l6i cents
per pound, which amounted to two cents
per bushel on wheat, and that some re-
lief should be afforded.
Mr.. Ware, of Missouri, interrupted the
speaker 10 declare that he bought his
Irvine at eleven cents per pound.
Continuing, Mr.. Nelson sent to the
desk and had read extracts from Mime
sofa newspapers and private letters to
himself favoring the tariff revision. The
reading was received with great applause
on the Democratic side. One OF these
letters was from a Observation-Disclosures,
who thanked him (Nelson) for including
lumber in the free list of his bill, and
adding that, except he feared it would
embarrass the measure. he would be glad
TO see wool included also. Another
correspondent begs relief from the high
tax on window-gass, saying that it equals
the cost of glass at Antwerp, and that
the country had been long enough at the
mercy of Pittsburgh manufacturers.
Still another man writes that Nelson's
bill is good enough rs far as it gees, but
for Gods sake amend it by putting wool
on the free list He adjures Mr. Nelson
not TO be frightened by the bleating of
sheep; they need no more protection
than hogs and hens.
Mr. Nelson neXtGuoted the western Re-
publicans' platform declaring in favor OF
reduction of the tariff at al early day,
and added amid the laughter and APP
plause of the Democrats, "and now, my
friends, is the appointed time. COntinn-
ing, he said that even as stiffa Protecti0nlst
as Senator Sherman had been forced at
a meeting of the Home Market Club at
Boston to admit the necessity OF a tariff
decision and declare in favor Of admis-
sion free of duty on such raw material
and articles as did not compete with
domestic products. In the face Of
these platform pledges and these
admissions. in the face Of the great and
growing surplus taken from the people
and used 10y certain banks without con
si1eratlon therefor, it made him sick at
heart to think that there were leading
men on his side of the chamber who at
this iuncture could not think of any
field for tax reduction other than
whiskey and tobacco. Surely these
we're not things on which
poor laboring man kept his family.
Would it not be better to give them
cheaper clothes and food and shelter {?
He would put free sugar, free salt, and
free lumber against free whiskey and
free tobacco so would the great mass Of
American people. Applause on the
Democratic side.
Mr.. Funston, of Kansas, attempted to
Put some questions to Mr. Nelson, but
the latter remarked that the gentleman
could have the floor to himself and took
his scat, not replying to Mr.. Funsten's
challenge as to why he did not put wheat
on the tree list.
The committee then rose and the
House adjourned.

IDr Lafferty 10 Christian AdvocateI
Into the dining-room Of the Ponce
de Leon came shutting along over the
Mosaic floor a man with weak face,
dropping eye, and the fatigue OF ex-
hausting idlcness. By him sat the son
of an Irish porter. The square head,
the stout submaxillary muscles, the
glowing pupils, as anthracite in a CRATE /;
these separated the men by the diameter
of the poles. The imbecile was the Duke
of Newcastle species run down, gone
back to jelly, to sea-ooze, to " Bathy-

of modern icon. The American had the
potency of upwardness, gripping the
future, forcing events, commanding

a Motor by which One Nan Can Pro-
neI "A Afreet-Iar.

H. Il. Sans, of johnson City, Tenn,
is the inventor OF and IS having con-
structed at the Knoxville foundry a mo-
tor which is expected to reyolutionize
stroet-car traffic" Mr.. Sans has been
working on the problem for fifteen years,
and at last pronounces it as nearly per-
feet Gs lie can get It. He claims that
with 1t one man can propel a street-car
full of people at rate Of ten miles an
hour. The operator sits astride saddle,
as when riding bicycle. and works a
pedal with each foot. These pedals opc-
rate a system OF compound levers, which
move graduated cog-wheels, which in
turn transmit the multiplied power TO
the wheels OF the car. The moor now
building will be tested in Knoxville in
two or three weeks. Mr.. Sans has ex-
perimented on wagons and other heavy
vehicles, and claims that a pressure OF
three pounds-less than is required TO
operate a sewing-machine- will give a
propelling power equal to two and half
horses. People who have seen the new
motor pronounce 1t wonderful success.

rirrIErH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON. March 80, 1883.
Scuatp.

On motion of Mr.. Edmunds it was
ordered that tomorrow being Good Fri
day when the Senate adjourn to-day it
be TO meet Saturday.
Among the bills reported from COM
mittees and placed on the calendar was
the following Senate bill for q public
building at Norfolk, Va, $50, 00O
Mr. Berry addressed the Senate on
she subject of the Presidents annual
message. He spoke of the universal in
terest awakened by the bold and fearless
manner in which the system Of Federal
taxation was discussed in that message,
and said that the time could not much
longer be delayed when some change
must be made in that system. When
fairly canvassed and understood its
injustice would, he believed, necessi-
tate change. Taxation should he
for revenue purposes only. The pres
ent system was utterly indefensible;
it was fundamentally wrong in princi-
pie, and doubly wrong in its details.
As to the proposition of the Protection
lists to repeal the taxes on whiskey, beer,
and tobacco, he expressed himself as
entirely opposed TO it. Taxes could he
collected on these articles with less in
jury TO the people than on any articles
consumed by the human family, and so
long as it was necessary TO col
lect taxes for the use of the Gov
ernment it was utterly indefensible
to say that they should be removed
from whiskey and beer. Under
the system of protection the foreign
trade of the country had been mined, so
that now the American flag could rarely
be seen in a foreign port, labor had been
arrayed against capital, strikes had been
encouraged, and a species of government
paternalsm established which threatened
to destroy the very framework Of Ameri-
can institutions, and 10 build up strong
consolidated government He spoke OF
the Ways and Means bill as moderate,
conservative, and favored an income tax
on all incomes over 80, 600 30 as to pro-
duce enough to pay all pensions.
The Senate then proceeded to the con
sideration of bills on the calendar, only
those being taken up to which there was
no objection.
The total number OF bills passed is
sixty-oue, nearly all Of local character,
and ONLY two Of interest in the South.
These were bills approprlating S20,OOO
for the completion of the monument to
Mary, mother Of Washington, at Frede-
ricksburg, Va, and to authorize the con-
struction of bridges over St. Mary's, Sa-
tilla, Little Satllla, and Crooked rivers in
Georgia and Florida.
Adjourned TO Saturday.
