Regulating the Telegraph.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The senate com
mittee Oh postoffices and post roads held an
other meeting on Mr.. Spooner's bill Ito reg
vlate commerce carried on by telegraph
A large number of amendments have been
made to the bill as it was originally framed,
and another meeting of the committee will
be held on Saturday next for its further con
sideration, and Senator Sawyer said that one
Of the principal amendments made to the
bill was that to exempt news associations
from regulation rates, which shall from time
to time be fixed. In other words, said he,
the restrictions in the bill as to rate discrim-
nations are not to apply to either the United
u Associated Press, and telegraph companies
are to be free to make special or exclusive
arrangements for carrying the news of such
associations.
Representative Vanderer, of California,
said that the prospects for the passage of
postal telegraph bill were most encouraging
If we don't get postal telegraph this ses-

get one next year. | believe the sentiment

Congressional PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The house COM
mittee on appropriations this morning
authorized Mr.. Foran 10 report amendments
to the pension appropriation BILL increasing
the amount for clerk hire at the agencies
from S170, 900 to sl80,000 and the amount
for stationery and contingent expenses from
S12, 900 to 5000
The committee also authorized favorable
report on the Henderson resolution inquiring
of the attorney general as to what part of
the appropriations made for judicial ex-
penses had been expended in making arrests
of illicit distillers.
A favorable report has been ordered by
the house committee on coinage, weights and
measures on the bill providing that the
holder of any of the silver coins of the
United States, of smaller denominations than
one collar, which ha q become worn, de-
faced, punched, clipped or otherwise nutil-
ated, may, on presentation Of the same in
sums of the nominal value of S., or any null
tipie thereof, at the Office of the treasurer or
any assistant treasurer of the United States
receive an amount of new or unworn subsi-
diary silver coins equal to the coinage value
in subsidiary silver coin of the initiated
coins, by weight, so presented.
1t is the general impression at the senate
that the Canadian fl neries treaty will go
over until the next session without final
action. Senators who are friendly to the
administration are understood to have noti-
fed the president and secretary of state that
to press the matter to vote now, would be
to invite its rejection A willingness has
been intimated on both sides Of the chamber
TO allow the treaty to await action until
after the presidential campaign and election
have served to make clear the popular feel
ing on the subject at issue.
Senator Sherman has reported from the
foreign relations committee resolution au-

Professor Lans.ston's Plea.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Professor John
Langston, of Virginia. and ex-minister to
Hayti, addressed the house committee on
education this morning in support of the
Blair educational bill. He drew a graphic
picture of illiteracy in the south, and declared
that the old masters had for generations
maintained schools for white children but
that there were none for the colored.
He met the objections made to the bill on
the ground that government aid deferred
state aid of Schools and said the government
assistance would stimulate the states to do
more for the schools than they had ever
done.
The bill has been referred to a sub-com-
mittee composed of Messrs. Grain, Buckalew,

Repot Of Grand Jury.
To The Hon. Fl. C. Speake, Judge Of the Sth
Judicial Circuit:

Judicial Circuit:
We the undersigned Grand Jury OF
Madison county, Ala, for the February
Term, 1888, OF the Circuit Court, beg
leave to report that we haye, to the best
OF our ability and judgment, discharged
the duties devolving upon US under the
charge of the court with the following
result:
We have made personal inspection
Of the county Jail. In regard to its suffi-
cency for the safe keeping of prisoners,
their accommodation and health, we find
the upper portion of the Jail insecure for
the keeping of prisoners. But we con-
slider the basement of both iails secure
and accommodations sufficient for con-
fnement of all persons charge with Sc
rious offences
We recommend to the Court of County
Commissioners the advisability, at as
early day as practicable, of the removal
of the Jail. to site more convenient for
drainage and sanitary precaution than is
possible at the present location. We
find the kitchen and its appurtenances
neatly kept. The cells that the prisonr
ers are confined in, are in good order,
and the sanitary arrangement in them
are as carefully carried out as possible,
considering the disadvantages of the
Jail. Judging from the appearance of the
prisoners, we think they are properly
cared for.
We find the back yard of the Jail in a
filthy condition, owing partly, to the
keeping of stock in the yard, and we
recommend that all stock be taken out
OF the enclosure and no stock Of any de-
scription allowed to be kept there, ex-
cept two horses.
We have examined into the condition
of our County Treasury, and find as
shown by abstract OF report, from our
County Treasurer; which is herewith
appended and made part of our report.
We have carefully examined the bonds
of all county officers and find them all
sufficient.
We have enquired into all indictable
offenses committed or triable in the
county brought TO our knowledge, and
have made presentments of all cases, that
in our judgment the public good re-
quired.
We have examined the books Of the
County Treasurer and find them neatly
kept and conveniently arranged for fill
ing in the office of the Probate Court for
public inspection, and itemized accounts
Of all expenditures Of county 1unds' ac-
cessiblo 20 the public.
We have examined the Fee Books of
the Probate Judge, Circuit Clerk and
Sheriff, and find them properly kept,
and the fees and charges therein accord
ing to law. We also examined the Sher
iff's book of accounts for feeding prisone
ers and find same to be correct and in
conformity to law.
We have examined the books OF Couns
ty Superintendent Of Education, and find
them neatly and correctly kept.
And now, having to the best of our
ability. discharged the duties required of
us by law, and after returning our
thanks to the Solicitor for his courtesy
and his efficient services, and to your
Honor for your courtesy and considera-
ton extended US during our attendance
as Grand Jurors, we respectfully ask our
discharge Ii. p TURNER,
