Cox in the House ON Saturday.
To-day, while the House was consid-
erlng the executive and legislative and
judiciary appropriation bill, Mr.. Ewart
arose and asked that the amount appro-
priated for the civil service commission
be stricken out. He said commission
that gave support to confessed perjurer
ought not tc be countenanced by the
government. He made speech in sup
port OF his motion, but Mr.. ButterWorth
thought the civil service law ought not
to be held accountable for the acts of
those who administered it,"
Mr.. Henderson says he is opposed to
all bills now before the judiciary com
mittee which would increase the power
of the Federal judges. He thinks their
power ought to be abridged rather than
increased. Mr.. Henderson has received

Members CT Congress from the South
!: are indignant at the way in which that
section has been treated in regard to the
tour of the Pan-American congress.
They do not censure Mr.. Blaine so much
for recalling the few members of the
, congress who went on the tour to Rich
mond, as for not, providing for a COM
plete Southern tour when the delegates
first arrived. 1t will be remembered
that great many cities and towns in
the North and Northwest were visited
last fall, and the South ignored. 1t
> stands to reason that the bulk Of South
, Americans would seek the nearest ports,
p viz New Orleans, Mobile, &c, but fol
+ all their advantages as regards location
= these cities were left out Mr.. Blaine
will be sharply criticised for this, from
more than one quarter.
nimportant patent was recently tax
en- out here by young lawyer of Au
gusta, Ga. 1t is patent to make cot
$ ton bagging out of the cotton stalk. Il
h is put through a process similar to the
jute. The inventor claimed that il
point of cheapness and strength he has
all the advantage on his side. He has
secured patents in this and severa
n European countries. Those who hav,
j. examined it think it will distance the
jute bagging in popularity, and become
: an important Southern industry.
