CONGRESS-.

The financial question again came
forward in the Senate yesterday, when
Mr.. Hill presented resolution defining
the policy of the government to pay its
bonds in gold in case the parity be-
tween gold and silver could not be sue
cessfully maintained. Mr.. Stewart, rep
resenting the radical silver element,
submitted counter resolution declar-
ing that the government had no legal
right to prefer gold to silver. The res
olutions went over under the Senate
rules. Mr.. Hill sought to secure i'm
mediate action on his resolution. Most
of the day was spent on the postoffice
appropriation bill, spirited contest be-
ing made against the Senate amend
ment giving the Postmaster General
discretion in expanding the S3,200,000
for railway postal routes. Mr.. Allen
bra ached off into an elaborate presenta-
ton of the alleged frauds in the last
Alabama election. Mr.. Pettigrew pre-.
sented a resolution directing the Presi-
dent to secure private counsel to prose-
cute the rights of the government
against Inc Union racine ANU CeHtThi
Pacific Railroads. The Senate had not
completed the postoffice appropriation
bill up to the time of adjournment.
The legislative appropriation bill to
which the House devoted the day was
completed save for the paragraph re-
lating to the pension Office. Several
amendments were agreed to, among
them to allow the public printer to bid
for the work of publishing the Patent
Office Gazette; to allow courts of ap-
peal to use half the surplus fees of the
clerks of said courts for the purchase of
law books; to establish refinery at
the Helena, Mont, assay Office for sep
arating gold and silver and molding
them into ingots, bars, etc., and to re-
fer the claims of the Cherokee Nation
for moneys due under early treaties to
the Attorney General for review. The
minority of the House elections COM
mittee submitted minority report
against the bill giving United States
district judges jurisdiction to try its
prima facie right of a member.elect to
his seat.

La Gascoene Reaches Port.

The overdue French steamship La Gas
cogne, from Havrc, wss sighted about FIVE
o'clock yesterday afternoon off Fire Island
below New York, and proceeding slowly .un-
der her own steam, reached Sandy Hook at
eleven o'clock at night. Three red lights
vera displayed. indicating that her machin
cry was disabled, Newspaper men on steam
Tugs made their way through the ice-covered
water on the bay and learned that all were
well on board the La Goscogne and that at no
time were they ia any danger, although they
encountered terrific gales. For thirteen day s
of voyage lasting sixteen days the ship had
been disabled, one of her main piston rods
having broken on her third day out from
Eavre For sixteen hours the vessel was
hove to while the break was being repaired.
The steamer then preceded on her way but
under greatly reduced speed. While OFF sable
Island February 8. the machinery broke
down again and he steamer was hove to, this
time for forty. one hours. When the second
repairs had been made she started ahead once
more under still further reduced power. 1t
is a remarkable fact that during the entire
voyage across the Atlantic La Gascogne did
not sight ii steamer until she passed one
bound for Philadeldhia late Oh Sunday. The
passengers we're nervous and apprehensive at
times. and they hailed the conclusion of their
voyage with JOY. They cheered the captain
and they cheered the crew. The total mum.
Der of people on board the ship was 372.

Steamer La Gascogne.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE French
line dock was the scene of great rejoi
ing from the earliest hours this morning.
The friends of passengers on the La
Gascogne were at the dock from The
first peep of dawn, and remained there
until the steamer had been warped in
to the dock. The La Gascogpe came
up the bay escorted by hotilla oftugs,
at about 10 o'clock. The ice in the
narrows reached from shore 10 shore
and the long delayed liner doomed up,
high-sided and red-funneled, in the
midst oftbe grinding ice cakes. At that
hourthe bulkheads, piers and decks Of
steamers at the docks in the vicinity,
and the windows and housetops along
West street opposite the French pier
were black with people. An extra
force of policemen kept passage way
opeu leading to the pier. Through
this passageway about l 600 people with
passes made their way TO the dock.
The end of the pier was soon a solid
mass of humanity. Nearly all were
friends or relatives of the. people on
board the ship. The whole French
colony was there. Ladies and their
escorts climbed upon ooxes of merchan-
disc and secured places from which
they could get a good view of
the long expected steamer. After
the steamer had been locked
the passengers came ashore, when
pretty girls hung about the necks of
sturdy Frenchman, and as an emotional
scene nothing presented by Sara Bern

weeks ago by a petition in equity
against Mr.. G. Hatley Norton, as an
cillary receiver for 'na Fidelity Build.
ing and Loan Association, to the effect
that he bad been appointed by the col
fusion of the officers of the association
in Virginia, and that he had transferred

ously filed his answer denying the
charges and asserting that the funds be-
longing to the association had been
properly deposited in a Washington

recting Mr.. Norton to join with the
trustees in releasing certain evidences
of debt to the association on the proper
payment of obligations and to deposit

A CHILD's DREADFUL END "A hor-
rible thing happened at the upper
Rockfish recently, writes the Alton cor
respondent of the Richmond Dispatch.
The intense cold of that date forced the
wild animals down to the settlements
for food, A colored woman named
Lucy Blair lost her child in fearful
way. Early in the evening her hus-
band had occasion to go elsewhere,
and told his wife to join him later at a
dance to be given at some cabin not
far from their OVID. 1t was agreed that
he should meet her at fence near a
little thicket, take their child, and go
with her the rest of the distance. The
woman started later than she intend
ed, and it was quite dark when she
reached the fence. She saw, dimly,
a figure that seemed to be standing on
the other side, and handed the infant
over as she turned to climb lower
panel. The woman at first thought
her husband was trying to STOOL her."
as she said when she could not fad
him, but ran on calling, and met him
coming toward the fence. He had not
been there. Lights were gotten and
search made. Nothing could be seen
or heard. In the morning the tracks
of an immense bear were found leading
on through the thicket and up toward
the mountain.

WHEN THE internal revenue officers
in the mountains of Virginia discover
au old time, home made distillery, and
seize few kegs of whisky, great
clamor is raised in the North, and the
fact that such distillery existed is
POINTED to as conclusive proof of the
low moral condition of the people ofthe
State and of their ignorance or disre-
gard Of the federal laws. And yet last
week first class distillery, with all the
modern improvements was was dis
covered in tae highly moral and cul-
tired city OF Boston, and four thousand
gallons of whisky seized, on which no
internal revenue tax had been paid.

A GUNNER's SAD DEATH.-Intelli-
gence has just reached Onancock of q
terrible accident that happened near
Parsley, in Accomac county. Judson
Vessels and Southey Webb, two we'll
known young men, were hunting Cd
the seaside marshes of Gargatha last
Saturday morning. They were ap-
preaching some wild ducks, when Webb
slipped on the ice and fell. His gun
went off aud struck Vessels in the
thigh. breaking the bone and dread
fully decorating the flesh. They were
several miles from any human habita-
ton, and the weather was intensely
cold. Webb took the wounded man
on his shoulder and carried him some
distance over the ice and snow, but mis-
strength soon gave out, and he put him
down and ran off for help. When he
returned be found Vessels dead. It is
not known whether he froze to death
or died fron the effects of his wounds.
Vessels was an excellent young man,
and 'rares wife and three small
children.
