In the Interest Of Coed Roads.

HI The Interest oI G0Ou hOhuss
To the Editor of the Ledger.
AT HOME, Sept. 2S.-I am glad
to find my road proposition meets
with such hearty response. This road
must be ixedimmediately. The work
contemplated can be done at very
small expense to each interested par
ty. Subscription papers are now in
circulation and we ask for prompt
responses. We want from two to ten
dollar subscriptions-not more than
ten dollars from any one-but want
all to give something. Any surplus,
after carrying the road beyond Mrs.
Hardin's, will continue the grade on
the Paris road as far as it will 60.
Let US take it to Skull Lick if pos
sible; beyond that there is no very
bad road. Amy parties desiring to
contract for the work will please re-
port at Gibbs drug store. l am in
dead earnest about this road. /
heard the clock strike nearly every
hour last night as l lay thinking
about it. / came very near leaving
the county this fall on account of
this road. We have the best trotting
horses in the State, but of what use
are they to IS if we have no roads
to trot them on? "Mary Wilkes, !"
"Clara Rafferty," and "Lady Re-
corder" want some exercised Good
roads and good Sunday Schools are
the great need of our county.
aStand up for Audrain county!"

WAsmNGToS, March s.-The anti.silvcr
Democrats We're greatly taken by surprise
when the house met yesterday when Rep.
resentatiye Catching, before the read
ing Of the Journal. moved to take up the
rule naming March % for the considera1
tion Of the Bland silver bill. There was|
at once n great commotion among thc|
exponents OF silver Tracy Of New York,
who has been selected To make the fight
against the rules arose 10 question OF
privilege, and insisted that the journal
should be read before business was trans
acted. The speaker decided against him.
When he took m appeal much confusion
prevailed In the house, and fifty men were
on their feet.
Messr- Tracv, Cochrane, Fitch and
Lockwood, all Of New York, charao te rlzed
the speakers decision rs more outrageous
and tyrannous than anything that had
been done by Speaker Reed in the Fifty
first congress. The scene at the time ex-
ceeded anything that has occurred during
this or the last session.
As soon as the order could be restored a
motion was made by Mr. Catchings, who
had charge Of the vote to lay the appeal
on the table and IL was carried by large
majority, many Republicans voting 10
NhNNhll NiltlI NpthhtE.
The debate on the resolution for the con.
sideration of the silver bill on March 90,
WAS long and bitter.
The yeas md nays were then ordered
and resnlted in the adoption of the resolu.
zion. Yeas, $50; nays, 81.
The speaker announced the result and
added: The clerk will read The journal
OF yesterday proceedings" Laughterl.
The anti-frec coinage Democrats were
aided by u few Republicans Mt different
times, only one eastern Republican (Hop.
kins OF Pennsylvania voting with them
on the most important vote, that on post
poning the matter until next December,
ana two western Republicans voting with
them Oh this vote ON the theory that post.
ponement would In the end help silver, ia
which belief they stood nlone.
There were five Democrats who voted
for postponoment who voted for the order
on its final passage. Had these Eve. with
all those who" voted against the order,
been joined by 70 Republicans on the
question Of postponement, the motion
would have prevailed by majority of a
single vote, unless Speaker Crisp had car
ried his partlsanship to the point Of hav-
ing his own name called.
A few executive communications were
laid before the house, which then took up

Senator Chandler Refers to the Talk of

Mr.. Blaine withdraws FOR two reasons"

he does not want to go through the tur-

that as member Of the administration,

health. too, has doubtless had some influ-
ence on his decision
