CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate yesterday defeated q
proposition, by Mr.. German, for the is
sue of S100,00O,OO0 of three per cent.
Treasury certificates to meet prospec-
tive deficiencies. This was followed by
the defeat of another proposition by Mr..
PETER, of Kansas, for the issue of green
backs to meet the appropriations made
by the Notifications bill. Both propo-
sitions were offered as amendments to
the Notifications bill, W hich was passed,
thus leaving but one of the appropria-
tions bills Enacted on by the Senate.
Mr.. Germans amendment developed
an animated financial debate, with MIR.
Sherman and Mr.. German as the main
participants. MIR. Sherman resisted the
amendment and urged that the proper
step was to pass the Dingley emer-
gency tariff bill. Mr.. German made
an offer to Mr.. Sherman that both sides
of the chamber join in non-partisan
relief measure, imposing q tax on tea
and coffee, and repeating the rebate on
alcohol used in the arts, which would,
he said, add 100000 to S50,000,000
to the revenues, and would reduce re-
bates by SIS 100000. Mr.. Sherman did
not respond to the suggestion. A mo-
ton by Mr.. Mills to lay the German
amendment on the table prevailed
yeas 40, nays 8. Mr.. Peffer's green
back amendment was defeated without
debate-yeas 43, nays II. The fortif-
cations bill, as passed, carries SO, 1884,
SSS, or 81, 91S,051 more than the House
appropriated.
a bill was passed amending the pen
sion laws so that those who served in
the Confederate service and thereafter
entered the union service prior to Sep.
TENDER, 1864, serving ninety days,
shall not be debarred from pension by
reason of previous Confederate service.
The House passed the Barthaldt-Mo-
Call bill to restrict immigration by i'm
posing an educational qualification.
The Gorliss amendment applying to
Canadians was also adopted. Both MIR.
Mahon, chairman of the war claims
committee, and Mr.. Walker served no
tees that at the short session, begin
ming in December, no bills would be al
lowed to pass by unanimous consent.
Their threat is for the purpose OF fore
ing the consideration of bills on the
calendar.

By the provisions of an act of the last
General Assembly in future persons
brought before the Mayor charged with

Under the present law the Mayors

A DANGEROUS PRACTIcE.-Com-
plant is made by the conductors and
motormen of the electric railway that
small boys, especially on Fairfax
street, cause much annoyance by stand
ing on the track in front of an ap-
preaching car until it is within few
feet from them when they jump off and
yell. This practice is, of course, ex-
ceedingly dangerous, and parents living
on the line of the road will doubtless
exercise surveillance over their little
ones after reading this item. In the
night time such actions are often carried
on, and although those in charge OF the
cars endeavor to be careful accidents
will necessarily occur sooner or later
if the youngsters continue to tempt
Providence.

INJUNCTIoN.-Mr. w. w. Henry, of
Richmond, through his attorney, Judge
Norton, to-day secured from Judge A.
W. Wallace, OF Fredericksburg, an in
junction restraining the Mount Vernon
Electric Railway Company from laying
rails, stringing wires, &C., on King

limits of the city and Hooff's run. Mr..
Henry owns small tract of land pear

way, by elevatipg its tracks, will make
it difficult for him to get to and from
his property. The rails have already
been laid at that point, but the wires
have not been strung and the injunc-

A kind word, a tender look, will do
wonders in chasing from her brow all
clouds of gloom. To this we would add
