FLoATINa FORGED WARRANTS.

T-corra, Feb. 9A-EY-Denuty City
Clerk Francis D. Mccain and his BROTH
er, John, Of Portland, were arraigned
in the municipal court this afternoon on
a CHARGE of forging the names Of city
officials TO city warrants, They waived
hearing and were held in $4,000 bail
each, which they have not been able to
raise. 1t has been discovered that 1000
warrants have been stolen, and 1t is
feared the accused may have floated
many thousand dollars worth of them.
Three other city employees are believed
to have been associated with them in
their speculation. Detectives are at
work gathering evidence, and sensa-
tional exposures are being looked for.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Today's session
of the house was brief and devoid OF
interest. For over two hours roll call
followed roll call, the opponents of the
seigniorage hill throwing aside all pre-
tense of not flibustering and boldly in
jected motions to take recess and nd
journ to'prevent a vote on BANDS mo-
tion. A rule will probably be brought in
Monday to prevent filibusterlng, when
the fighting will go on. Thf house lead
ers insist that the struggli Pill not be
abandoned until vote is mad upon the
measure.
In todey's session, after repeated votes
on q motion to adjourn for recess, etc,
and repeated failures to obtain quo
rum, Bland lost patience, and finally
shouted: ut is quite evident that the
bond-holders have control over this
country, and l therefore move that the
house adjourn" Without division 1t
carried, and at 1855 the house adjourned.

a Clever Horse R emarkably Trained.
From the London Standard.


An addition has just been made to the
variety snow at the Crystal palace in the
shape Of what is described as a talking
and thought-reading horse. Mazeppa
seems to be able to do anything but talk,
and bv means of her feet and head to
answer any questions put to her, either
by her trainer (Nlr. H. S. McGuire) or by
any Of the audience. She first starts
counting four by striking the ground four
times, and then goes through simple ex-
animation in addition, multiplication and
subtraction with perfect accuracy. After
calling for the number of days IN week
the number of months in year aud the
day OF the month, Mr. Mcguire asked how
many days in the week she desired to
work, and her vigorous shake of the head
TO indicate none caused considera BILE
amusement She also added up a four
line sum, dictated from the auditorium
and written on black board: tells the
time by different watches, and performs
many other remarkable feats. which bear
testimony to the training powers of her
owner, who was loudly applauded at the
close OF the entertainment.

Tales OF the Hurricane.

The dispatch from Key West says /:
Nearly every day flesh information
reaches here from the keys surround
ing this place relative TO the loss Of
life in the recent hurricane.
On east Matacumbie key two sail
ors drifted ashore wearing life pre-
servers from the British bark Bran
don, of Quebec, from Ship Island,
Pascagoula, for Liverpool, with IA
cargo Of timber. The Brandon ran
ashore on Crocus reef at 10 O'Clock on
the night Of Sept. 20, and after poun-
ding over the reef, got into the chan
mel and capsized. Another Of the
crew came ashore the same night.
, There were seventeen in all on
board, and these are the only three
that have been heard from along the
shore. The captain, William Red
ford, had one leg broken by a sea as
soon as the ship struck the reef, and
Il Norwegian sailor had both >legs
crushed, u sea knocking him down by
the pumps and throwing Il piece of
timber across him. While two of his
shipmates were trying to relieve him
another sea lifted the timber, so they
could draw him out. They then fas-
tened u life prescrver on him.
The surviving ones think the cap
tain, mate, steward and another OF
the crew were drowned, as they were
all in the cabin when the ship turned
bottom up. The shore is full of pieces
OF her cabin, forecastle and houses,
and three Of her boats all smashed to
pieces. Some few pieces Of hewn TIM
Der from her deck are on shore.
The names of the survivors of the
Brandon are: John II. Warren. Wool
wich, England; William Spoforth
and Lennart Lax, Finland, Russia.
The Norwegian ship ThcOra was
lost off Turtle harbor, but all hands
we're saved. w. J. II. Taylor, the
English, Swedish and French vice
consul, provided for the crew and at
tended in every manner to their COM
fort.
Samuel Williams and Leonard Lowe
found the body OF a drowned man on
the outside OF Tavanear key on Sept.
%. After informing some neighbors
OF the circumstances they buried the
body, which was much swollen and
discolored and nothing upon it which
would lead to Identification.
1t is likely that the number of lives
lost will never be known, as cOmmu-
nication with the keys is difficult.

Hon. Walter M. Denny at Gloster.

Valley Record.
Hon. Walter NJ. Denny, the DEM
ocratic nominee of this district adj
dressed Il large audience at the City
Hall Wednesday night. Mr.. Denny
while not an orator, spoke in a CONVEX
Satl0nal manner, setting forth the
many beneficial laws enacted by the
Democrats since they came into pow
er less than two years ago at the
close of a thirty years lease Of power
to the Republican party, the party
that had ever lcgislated in the inter-
est Of combines and trusts and for
the contraction of the currency and
against silver, and said that no party
could have done more in so short a
time. He related the history Of the
new party Of 1876, known as the Green
back party, and gave a history Of the
II representatives which that party
had in Congress, in which he showed
that upon every national issue they,
claiming to be Democrats in primer.
pie, had voted with the Republicans
then took up the history of the Pop
ulites in Congress for the past two
years, in which they had followed il
the footsteps Of the Greenbackers
step for step. He then showed uI
the fallacies of their many schemes
(set to catch the unweary), until ii
was made plain that to carry them
out would require four times the
amount Of money in the wide world
and bankrupt the Enumeration table
to calculate their expenditures.
Mr.. Denny's speech was well re.
cciyed. His uttcrances received
rounds of applause, particularly that
in which he said next session of Con
grcss will enact such laws as will Sc.
cure the coinage Of silver, and if not,
that he would use every means in his
power to secure it in the next. Mr.
Denny will receive the hearty sup
port Of the Democracy of this county

High Protection the Matter,

The recent speech of Hon. Frank
lIurd should be as instructive to Mis-
sissippi as it was to Ohio Democrats.
Instead Of attempting to tinker with
the money question as a panacea for
the present hard times, a broader
viewo our affairs would show that a
long persistence in high protective
tariff is one of the chief causes.
Mr.. IIurd said, speaking of wool of
which Ohio produces more than any
other State.
Free wool is worth more to tariff
reform than all other provisions Of the
law put together"
The addition of wool to the free list
makes the law one of the most i'm
portant statutes enacted since the
war.
He predicted higher prices for do
nestle wool to the farmer and cheap
er goods to the consumer. In this
way free wool is destined to be the
greater educator Of the people on the
tariff question. Very soon they will
demand that other articles of foreign
trade, far as is practicable, shall be
brought in free.
High Protection tariff has restrict
ed our markets.
Restriction has resulted in over.
production.
The consequence is restriction in
the sale Of raw material-farm pro.
ducts-and want Of employment fol
labor. If our Populite friends, who
are trying to make fifty cents wortl
of silver equal to a commercial dollar
would consider what an evil influence
the protection of the classes has haC
upon our affairs they would see per
haps there is more the matter thar
the coinage of the number of grain.
In a silver dollar can rectify. ~

A Poor Showing.

In a well-timed article on the sub
ject OF the poor showing" that the
PopuliSts are making in the present
congressional canvass, and giving a
recapitulatiOn Of the votcof their can
didatcs in the election held two years
ago, the Summit Sentinel very per-
tinently says: "Eow that the sturdy
Democracy has spoken in its official
capacity and nominated standard
bearers in each OF the congressional
districts Of the State, the Democrats
of these respective districts should
touch elbews, and march forward to Il
still more glorious victory. They
should not be satisfied with polling as
large Il vote as they did two years ago.
They should increase their several
majorities, and thus dispirit their
Oyer-boastful adversaries. who have
been wont to claim the earth and the
fullness thereunto appcrtaining, and
If they could make their claim good
would doubtless hedge II around with
a fve-pronged barb-wirc fence. The
election of "A single Populite congress-
man from Mississippi this year would
greatly enthuse the Pops in the cam
paign which they will undoubtedly
make against the Democracy from the
governor down to constable next year.
Before the nominations were made we
were all partisans for this candidate
or that. Now that the party has
spoken, we should all be patriots and
make the election Of our nominee our
first concern"
There is not, we regret to say, as
much enthusiasm being displayed in
the sixth district as there should be,
and it is the duty of the Democratic
press and speakers to endeavor TO
arouse more interest in the canvass.
The party has the Populites Of the
district ION the hip but to keep them
there it should be upand doing, or it
may get left. Let's stir things up a
