THE DEBATE ON THE TARIFF BILL.

WASHINGTON, April 81 (Special.-A meeting of
the Ways and Means Committee will be held on
Monday, at which the Democratic caucus will try
to reach an agreement with the majority as to the
amount of time to be devoted to general debate
on the Darll-Lantern" bill. Members of the
minority are engaged in obtaining the views Of
other Republican members of the House who de-
sire to speak on the bill, SO that any agreement
into which the minority may enter will be salts
factory to Republicans generally. Froma the
amount of time which the latter have devoted TO
the subject and to the preparation of speeches on
different features of the bill, it seems probable
that about ten days will be required for the proper
presentation of the Republican side of the case
Perhaps the Democrats will not need so much
time although they demanded and were accorded
more than ten days in the debate on the Tariff
Commission bill and the resulting Tariff bill, six
years ago The Republicans will insist that the
general debate shall take place in day sessions of
The House. This they should do by all means.
Night debates are fritleSs, whatever may be the
subject under discussion.

Stories OF his cutting sarcasm are lnnumer-
able Yet he was essentially an optimist,
and his belief IN mankind grew with Years.
Some one lately asked him if he did not
think that a certain well known lawyer had

who believe would sell out his client 1t is,
in my opinion, the rarest crime on earth, the
very minimum instance cf depravity If the
case were otherwise it would, to quote an old
| Judge | once admired, rob humanity of the
last virtue that clings to degradation ITSELF
! Even his wit and humor had character Of
cxactness and classical severity. In the
Marie Garrison suit he wa pitted against the
eminent Joseph Choate, and the unofficial
record of proceedings had reached some
thousands Of pages, when Mr.. Choate inter-
rupted Mr.. Conkling in the latter's address
by saying that he (Mr Choate, had not read

speaking, and turned look of mild surprise
In the direction of Mr.. Choate.

During his early years In congress his
speeches were usually quite ornate; the war
era required and permitted more Of that
style than does the present economic period
Later his style was terser, as in this extract
from his reply to the toast Of "New York
City.s
"To speak fitly of the toast would be to say
much. | shall say little A city of 2,0O0,0O0
people, ami more in its actual belongings, a
world trod city, in whose streets eighty-four
languages and dialects are spoken, an island
which, had it not become a great city, would
have been great watering place, sought for

OF the vanity of Senator Conkling, the
country has probably heard enough. 1t had
its pleasing side, however, and as the saying
goes, it run in the family" His father
Judge Conkling, had three sons, Aurelian
Roscoe and Frederick They all grew to be
men of Gne appearance and great physical
strength. Aurelian was the largest of the
brothers, being considerably over six feet In
height, broad shouldered, and of powerful
build Even in early life they were all men
of strong character, of remarkable self
reliance, and inclined to be disputatious.
They were politicians before they were voters
and, as they never agreed about politics
among themselves, it used to be said of them
that they were too independent to belong to
the same party. Aurelian acted with the
Democracy, while Roscoe was a Wing IN
clined toward Sewardism, and Frederick
"Silver Gray" Aurelian died many years
ago, Roscoe is at the head of the Republican
party, and Col Frederick A. Conkling.

FORGING AHEAD.
The {. H. 4 b. X. X. Meeting al Fay
eteeviIle

DIR. j. H. Bryson returned yesterday
from Fayetteville, Tennessee, where he
represented the Alabama Division of the
G. II & B. R. R. at the meeting there OF
the Tennessee stockholders on Tuesday
to ratify the consolidation of the three
divisions.
The consolidation was carried by un-
animous vote, and the meeting passed
with satisfaction.
Tuesday the 29th inst, a joint direc
tory of the three Divisions will meet in
this city to effect an organization under
the consolidation, elect officers for the
ensuing year, and formulate plan for
the future progress of the road. The
Tennessee directors elected at Fayette-
vile are Capt. Jno. C.. Dougherty and
Mr.. II. X. Bryson, of Lincoln county; W..
D. L. Record Esq, of Moore county;
Capt. H. A. Wiley, of Cannon county,
and w. K. French and M. r. Campbell,
Of Coffee county.
1t is believed now that plans will be
begun on the road at no distant day.
The outlook for the success of this great
enterprise is most encouraging and we
regard it brighter than at any time in
it's history.
Huntsville is ready for breaking dirt
and hereby extends open hands and
hearty congratulations to Tennessee and
Kentucky.
A special to the Nashville American
from Fayetteville says:
Huntsville was selected as the place
for the directors of the several divisions
to meet, Tuesday, May 20, and organize
under the consolidation.
1t is believed that the consolidation Of
all parties interested in this line will put
the company in a shape to arrange at an
early day for the entire construction of
the road.
The company will now be in a more
favorable condition to secure larger sub
scriptions along the line. Overton coun-
ty, Tenn, which recently voted down
the solicited subscription of $4,000 for
the road, has, through one of its large
prominent citizens, presented large
petition requesting resubmission of the
proposition. The petition is mostly
signed by persons who had voted against
the proposition or had refrained from
voting on the question. The southern
outlet of this road south OF Huntsville,
giving connection with central Alabama
and Georgia, has been secured, and that
part of the road will be completed within
twelve months.
