The MOURNE
Meeting OF the Democratic State Gem
trail Committee.

The Democratic State Convention for
the nomination Of candidates for state
officers will be held on March II next.
That was decided upon Mt meeting of
the Democratic State Central Committee
held this forenoon.
The Providence postoiiice matter came
up also. The committee had disposition
to nominate Ex-Governor John w. Davis
for Postmaster Georges chair in the Prov
idence postoffice, but as Richard Hayward
allowed that he was still in the field, cx-
Governor Davis name was not discussed
and Providence remains the field for the
competition without going to Pawtucket
for n candidate.
Nothing was said about the Bristol and
Warren postoffices, over which row was
expected, and Mr.. Clancy OF Westerly
was endorsed for postmaster down there.
IL was agreed to make n reapportion-
mcnt OF the State to secure delegates TO
the convention in numbers proportionate
TO the Democratic vote In the respective
cities and towns. This will evidently
give the City OF Providence big pull.

The annual encampment OF the Seventh
Division, Rhode Island Sons OF Veterans /,

Hall, Market square. The occasion Is
also appropriately observed as "Union
Defenders Day."
The encampment began at 0:30 o'clock,
Colonel Reuben III. Dexter presiding.
Senior Vice Commander j. A. Barton was
also in attendance. Fifteen camps from
all parts OF the State were represented and
the forenoon was given over to reports.
Colonel Dexter, who has been in office
but short time, rendered the first report,
which was very interesting, and contained
many valuable suggestioss. He recon-
mended a retired list for officers
and Workmanship badges; he
commended military drill in
schools, and hoped Rhode Island would
soon adopt it. A military school of in
struction for officers and that the division
commander arrange for division head
quarters were recommended. de stated

buildings and a general holiday feeling
pervades the atmosphere, although the
only State where the occasion is gener-
ally observed by closing school and shop
is Illinois.
In the schools here, however, the pupils
were today instructed about the great
hearted friend OF the poor slaves and in
some schools special exercises were held.

volunteer company in the Black Hawk
war, ran for the Legislature in 1882, and
was defeated-the only time he was beaten
by the people.

and studied law during that period. His
politics were those of the Wings.
lie practiced law in Springfield for q
while and was elected to the "lower House
OF Congress" in 1876, but was not eau
didate for reelection. From 1910 to 1854
he practiced law.
He was inaugurated IS President of the
United States, March 4, 1861, aud was
elected TO succeed himself in 1865. From
tho time OF his first election he had war
on his hands, and, as is we'll known, was
basely assassinnfcd by J. Wilkes Booth
while witnessing play az Fords Theater.

With all tho cares OF the nation and the
immense labor the war imposed on him,
he was always rendy 10 see the humblest
OF his people, TO listen 90 their complaints
and do justice to those he doomed worthy.
His emancipation proclamation" for tho
freedom of the slaves will ever live as one
OF the landmarks in the Nations history.

"bucking" OF % hours from Rose I.lanc.
The tugs arrived IN the vicinity of War
wick Light and the captains OF the three
tugs became aware of the fact that no one
tug was bile TO cope with the ice, SO they
concluded TO drop their tows and make a
combined fight against the foe, the ice
would then, be broken for short dis
tance and one OF the tugs would return,
and haul the long string of bargcs to the
opening made, after which there would be
another attack on the ice. This was con-
tinued all day yesterday. Just before
dark the crews of the tugs and
barges were about exhausted. SO
it was decided TO give up the
fight for the day. The bsrges were left
just this side OF Pomham, and the tugs
made their way to the docks of the X. b.
Little Coal company, as the track of the
New York boat made channel for them.
This morning the barges were towed, and
many of them show rough usage.
The wheel Of the II. A. Packer was
broken yesterday, and she will be taken
To New York by the Gov Hoyt tomorrow.
The Hoyt and sea King went to Newport
this afternoon, and will return with the
number OF barges that they were obliged
TO leave there.
The river is about passable today. as
the steamer Harry came from Newport.
The Pequot of The Providence line ar
rived at her dock at noon, and the steam
er Chatham of the Merchants ard Miners

Lost in the House.

The last hope of financial legislation
for the relief of the treasury at the pres
pnt session of Congress went by the
board when the House of Representa-
tivcs Thursday afternoon, by vote of
~ TO 161, rejected the administration
bill TO authorize an issue of 5000, 000.000
gold bonds. The bill was beaten before
it reached its last parliamentary stage
This result was reached after three days
of spirited and at times heated debate
and at the end of seyen-hour session.
From IL until $3.50 o'clock. when the bill
with the pending substitutes was reported
to the House from the committee of the
whole, amendments were offered in rapid
succession, most OF which were voted
down as fast as they were offered. Many
of them were designed To load down the
bill. and the votes thereon were in no
sense test votes. The Bell amendment,
for instance. to make the bonds payable
i'll gold and silver was defeated by the
decisive vote of 20 To JOG. while the bill
was defeated by 134 to 1Gi. Both the
Reed and Cox substitutes, with the
amendments thereto. were rejected after
the bill was reported to the House.
When the question came up on the
third reading and 'u~rOssment of the bill
the Whole opposition concentrated. While
the vote was being taken. which result
ed in the refusal of the House TO order the
third reading. the interest conferred in the
vote of Mr. Reed. He sat quietly in his
seat during the first call, and did rot an
SWer to his name but on the second call
he voted for the bill. AS soon as the re-
suit was announced Mr.. Reed offered an
explanation of the attitude of himself ard
those of his colleagues who had voted for
the bill, but objections were made. He
afterward explained, however that he
had submitted Il proposition (his own sub
stitutc) which he considered would meet
the situation The Democrats had re
jected this, and then he and many of his
colleagues, although opposed to features
of the bill, had voted for it in the hope
that it would pass and be amended in the
Senate Mr.. Springer then moved to re-
consider the vote by which the third
reading was refused, but this motion was
laid Oh the table, 135 to 123, and the bill
was killed.
OF those who voted for the bill ninety
two were Democrats and forty-two Re
publicans. The negative vote was given
by ninety-seven Democrats, ffty-six Re
publicans and eight Popuists.
