WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Speaker Carlisle,
who returned with his wife to his residence
here this afternoon very well said tonight
that he knew nothing of the reported pro-
posed investigation by the House of the re-
publican bribery and does not believe it
will be held. The country knows the facts
already, he says. The democrats in the
House will maintain the same attitude on
all questions this SESSION as last. They may
not have chance to vote on the tariff. but
if they do it will be in the form of tariff
reform. They will oppose the direct tax
bill and the Blair educational bill, and all
extravagant pension bills. They will en-
deavor to pass bills enabling the admission
Of Dakota, Montana, Washington and New
Mexico. Messrs. Mills, Breckenridge, Nc
Millin aud the other democratic leaders
make the same statements.

ENGLAND AND THE sLAvEas.
The Proposal to Send Troops to Sua

The Proposal to send troops TO oua-
kim Discussed.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The House OF Commons
went into committee of supply this after
noon on a vote of 9236, ,260 for embassies
and missions abroad.
John Morley moved a nominal reduction
in order to raise discussion on the proposal
to send British troops to Suakm. He de-
nouuccd the governments policy OF shed
ding blood and wasting the country's treas
ure in projects which would res 1t in no
good to any human being. The govern
ment ought either to advise the Egyptian
government TO abandon the situation, or
Ems land ought to make a more serious at
tempt 10 suppress the slave trade and intro
duce civilizing forces into the Soulan.
RESPONSIBILITY DIsCLAIMED.
Sir James Ferguson. parliamentary sec
retary to the foreign office, replied that
the present government was not response
BILE for the waste Of treasure and blood in
the Soudau. The advice sent TO the Egypt
ian government was to maintain a purely
defensive policy with as small force as pos
sible, and to devote its funds &, the internal
development of the country. But defen-
sive policy did not imply a surrender Of
Suakim, which would leave the country
overrun with Arabs.
sUHKIM'S IMPORTANCE
In the surrender of Su kim the only sta
tion would be given up from which ships
could operate on the Red sea coast for the
suppression of the slave trade. Surely, said
Sir James, Mr. Morley did not seriously
suggest absolute abandonment Of Sualkim.
Recurring to the slave trade, the speaker
said he was able to intimate that govern
ment had proposed to Belgium to initiate
fresh references to tho powers on the lines
indicated by Cardinal Layigre with view
Of mitigating the evil.
POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
1t was the policy of the government.to
eDcourge mmerce with Central and East
Africa. The development of commerce was
the best method Of combating the slave
traffic. II road was pushed into the in
terror, so that cheap and easy transporta-
tion was available, the system of slave
porterage would no longer be profitable.
He trusted that the house would support
work promising such blessings to humanity.
Cheers Mr.. Morley's motion was rejected
by q vote of 1856 to lUl.

CAROLINA's BONDS.
Eleven Counties A Affected by the De-
cision.

Eleven Counties Affected by the De-
cision.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 1.-The supreme
court decision adverse TO the township rail.
road bonds has created the greatest excIte-
ment throughout the state, and especially in
the eleven counties affected These are the
upper tier OF counties, comprising Abbe-
lie. Chester, Edgefield. Greenville, Horny,
kershaw, Lancaster, Laurens, Lex
ingtop, Newberry, Richland, Union,
York and Spartanburg. The aggre-
gate amount Of the bonds affected
by the decision is over 81 ,000, 900. which
amount is distributed in the counties named
ia sums ranging from $4,000 for Laurens,
to S217, 900 in York. In addition to these
large amounts there are county railroad
bonds out to the amount of 81 500. 900,
which were issued by the counties and not
by these townships, and it is thought, are
not affected by the recent decision.
BOND HOLDERS DEPRESSED.
The bondholders feel depressed, and al-
ready steps are being taken in some coun-
ties by dissatisfied taxpayers to invalidate
the county tonds.
At Camden to-day a meeting was held
which denounced the county commissioners
for ordering the election and issuing the
bonds, aud similar action will doubtless be
taken in other counties. IL is not improba-
bio that an effort will be made
at the present session of the
legislature to transfer from the counties
10 the state the bonded debt issued in aid Of
railroads. The effort has been made several
times before, but without success. An effort
viii also be made at this session to validate
the township bonds affected by the supreme
court decision; with what success it is inn
possible to state. Nearly all the new rail-
roads in course Of construction in his state
are being built with county and township
aid, and the invalidation of these bonds
would, besides inflicting hardships on tho
holders, almost paraIyze railroad building.
