OpR WAsHTNGTON LETTER

WAsHINGMoN, d. c., April 9.-The
deadlock in the house on the direct tax
bill practically put stop to all bust
ness in that branch of congress after
Tuesday. Even all night sessions fall
ed until every parliamentary expedient
was exhausted to bring the members to
~ vote. Whenever a quorum was
found to be lacking assistants to the
sergeant at arms were sent out in
search of absentees and when found
they were brought up before the bar of
tine house to furni their excuses for
absence without leave. Many of the
members were taken from their beds at
midnight and later and carried before
the house, where they were made the
subjects of much sport by the other
members.
The work of the committees was also
seriously interfered with by the dead
lock, DC the members when a short re-
cess was taken were too fatigued to at
tend the meetings and none of the
committees had quorum for business.
Up to the present time the house has
considered and passed some 700 pri-
vate bills, but it is probable that only
a few more, if any, will be passed at
ed with orther measures of a public
character that very many of them will
fail for want of time, and as between
measures that effect only one person
and those which effect many con-
stituents the members give preference
to the latter.
The committee on private claims
alone has had over 1000 bills referred to
it, many of which will never have so
much as a report made thereon. The
committee however, has a live energetic
chairman, and with very few excep-
tions, industrious hard working mem
bers, and so meritOrious bills as rule,
do not remain long in committee
Where they fail of action is in the
house, where so much time is lost in
debate.
So far, only three appropriation bills
have been disposed Of, and that fact
has given rise to the report that the
others are being held back for the pur-
pose of rantagonizing the tariff bill with
them. The appropriation bills must
have consideration, otherwise the
wheels of government will be stopped
for want of the necessary lubricant,
and so they are always entitled to tn e
right of way. 1t follows that if Repre-
sentative Randall is so disposed he can
at the proper time bring an appropria-
ton bill before the house, and so have
every thing else stopped for its con-
sidefation. AS very much time will be
consumed in discussing the tariff bill
and not much be left for consideration
of other matters, it will be seen how
well founded are the fears of the
friends of tariff reform at the power
held by the high tariff chairman of the
appropriation committee, III,

BECAUSE a colored man on the re-
publican ticket at Topeka was de-
feated at the late election, the Demo
crat weeps crocodile tears, and, in af-
fected sympathy, says: "This is q
record of the Strengthening of colored
men at Topeka, to say nothing of
Wichita and Kansas City, where they
were butchered in cold blood either in
the convention or at the polls.'' 1t is
wonderful what sympathetic hearts
some northern democrats have for the
colored people. If their southern
brothers only had one half as much
sympathy, possibly the colored people
down there might also have a chance
to be slaughtered In ''cold blood either
in convention or at the polls'' with the
same kind Of weapons used at Topeka
-ballots-instead of the bullets and
knives used in Dixie when a colored
man even dares to talk politics, let
alone attempting to run for Office.
In Kansas, under republican rule,
they have chance to run for office,
and are sometimes elected. In the
south, under democratic rule, they are
not even allowed to vote as they
please. Our colored people know
the difference between democratic
slaughter in cold blood as illustrated
at Fort Pillow, and slaughter in cold
blood at the polls, as the Democrat
calls it.

Proctor and IIolseries.

The well known mathematician and
astronomer, Richard a. Proctor, in a
late number of Harper's Weekly writes
an elaborate disquisition on the delu-
sive snares and barefaced humbuggery
of lotteries. After learnedly expatiat-
ing on the gullibility of the public who
persist in throwing money away in al
most hopeless efforts to win at game
wherein the chances, as the eminent
professor fundamentally demon
strates, are infinite against the player,
he says:
If believed in luck should certain
~ be tempted to venture in some of
these lotteries; for twice, though not
from desire for gambling gains, / have
tried my luck las the foolish ones put
it, in lotteries, and each time I have
won q gOodly prize. One trial occurred
in Melbourne, Victoria. where I had
been taken round the Chinese quarter,
and so forth. The method of mark
ing the Chinese lottery papers was ex-
planned to me by practical example;
paid, that is to say, for the right,
and made marks at random with the
vermilion brush as instructed. The
rest of the company did the same. /
certainly supposed / was paying a
shilling away-without the likelihood
of seeing it again for the opportunity
of learning how the Chinese lottery
men managed their little game. But
next morning the sum of E29 was
handed over TO the leader of our party,
my share being "a 2s l0d. The other
case occurred at bazaar in Boston,
held in October, 1873, by the Sisters of
the Good Shepherd for 3 most excel
lent purpose. / bought tickets in a
raffie for gold watch, regarding their
price as my contribution to the charity;
but next morning a gentlemen called

A Preliminary survey COmpletsa 90
rats City.
T. j. Sternbergh, chief engineer of
the Lawrence, Atchison & Southern
railroad and Of the Kansas, Texas
& Mexican railroad, with II. G.
Finch and other assistants, reached
this city Saturday evening, having COM
pleted a preliminary survey of the
line between Carbondale and Emporia
via Burlingame. Mr.. Sternbergh
reports that a Doost excellent route
was found between the two places. No
obstacles of difficult character were
encountered. and a line with unusu;
ally low grades was.easily selected. He
expressed the opinion that the road
would be extended to Emporia during
the present season. The company
now controlling the CaEbondale line
has been quietly at work ever since
the road passed into its hands.
and the ordering of this preliminary
survey looks as if arrangements were
about completed for the extension of
the road to this city. If the M. K. &
T. (now Missouri Pacifc) shall pass
out of the hands of Jay Gould, as dis
patches indicate, and into the hands
of the old stock holders, to be operated
in connection with some other trunk
line road and the Carbondale road
shall be extended, of which there is
now every probability, thus giving us
increased competition, Empcria wiz be
the most lively city in the State. The
indications are of the most favorable
character at the present time.
