The DrN-Goods Mnrl,ei.

NEW YORK. May 25.--The week opens
with a quiet demand in all departments
of the dry-goods market. The attendance
OF buyers is moderate, and chiefly notice
able for the presence Of southern con
tingent, with whom endeavors to place
orders at low prices on the general run
of cotton goods are more prominent than
a disposition 10 do business on regular
terms Business arising from orders
coming 10 hand through the mails has
been moderate. Reports received from
some OF the western and southwestern
markets are not of an encouraging char
acter at the moment. 1t is evident that
trade with them has suffered more or
less from bad weather during the past
two weeks. and this, to some extent, in
terfcres with supplementary seasonable
business. as well as with the demand
for all-the-year-' round staple goods. The
general tone of the market is without
alteration. Buyers are readily met at
prevailing prices on nearly all lines of
both cotton and WOollen goods, and in
no direction is there any of the harden
ing tendency noticeable, such as was
seen in brown cotton goods. for instance,
a little while ago.

THE 54'TH CONGRESS.
LAST OF GENERAL APPROPRIATION
BILLS PASSES THE SENATE.


WASHINGTON, May 25.-The last OF
the general appropriation bills the defi-
cheney bllD engrossed the attention OF the
Senate to-day. As reported from the Ap-
propriatons Committee. 1t covered items
aggregating about nine million dollars
absut twice the amount that it carried
when IT came over from the House. In
its progress through the Senate to-day
the aggregate was stir further increased
by the appropriation Of over a million dol
lars for findings in the French spoliation
claims and over half million dollars FOR
findings OF the Court of Claims under the
Bowman act.
At first there appeared to be purpose
on the part Of Mr.. Butter to antagonize 1t
with his own bill-prohibiting the issue OF
United States bonds without the consent
OF Congress-but he yielded TO the ap-
peal of Alr. Hale TO allow the denclency
bill to be disposed Of. Several PROPOSE
tlons requiring unanimous consent were
made to have a day and hour nNed for
taking vote on the bond bill and all
amendments thereto, but a very deter
mined objection was made by Mr.. Palmer
who declared that 10 unanimous consent
could be obtained for taking vote on
that bill.
After being loaded pretty heavily with
private claims, the deficiency bill was
passed. and the Senate, at $40, adjourned
till tomorrow.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
To-day's session OF the House, under the
rules. was devoted to District Of Columbia
affairs. That calendar was soon cleared,
however, and the remainder of the ses-
sion was spent IN Committee OF the
Whole considering the bill 10 repeal that
section of the present tariff law providing
for a rebate on alcohol used In the arts
and I'm medicinal compounds.
Mr. Evans. Of Kentucky, on behalf or
the WAYS and Means Committee, offered
an amendment providing for the appoint
ment Of committee Of three Senator'S
and three Representatives 10 consider the
question Of making alcohol used in the
arts and I'm manufactures free OF tax,
and to report 20 the next session OF
Congress I'm advocating the passage or
the bill Mr.. Evans stated that the section
had been found so faulty that no regula-
lions could be framed by the Treasury
Department-as the language Of the sec
tion dlrected-that would protect the
government. and that the government had
stood TO lose between 5000 and $4,000
i'm claims every day since 1t was enacted.
The repeal of the section was vigorously
opposed by Messrs. Russell and Hill Re-
publcans). OF Connecticut, on the ground
that it would be a reversal Of one of the
principles Of the Republican party IN
the matter Of protectIon-the latter giving
notice that he would move to strike out
the repeal clause and insert instead the
amendment for a committee on inVesu-
cation.
The bill was not disposed or Wheh' 't
o'clock the committee rose and the
House adjourned.

POWHAThN LEVY CASE.
COmmon'ycnlth's Attorney FIanna-
gan Makes Answer.

Powhatan Courthouse. May IS, 1896.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Your correspondent writing from this
place on the 10th published a note in
your issue Of yesterday which is calcula-
ted 20 mislead II may be inferred there
from that iu our cOunty-bOnd matter /
had been acting in a high-handcd manner
and I'm disregard and contempt Of decreos
of the Supreme Court Of Virginia and Of the
Circuit Court Of Powhatan county. There
had been no decree Of the former court
for me TO disobey or defy" so the init
nation as 20 that court Is without the
slightest foundation in fact. Judge Ham
cock had awarded n mandamus 20 COM
pei a levy TO pay a specific sum OF inte-
rest on the railroad bonds. and ] con-
strucd the order literally and under my
advice the majority Of the board laid n
levy for the exact amount named-no
more and no less Judge Hancock held
that this was not obeying his order and
that a sum to cover delinquents. &c.
should have been included. and sustained
an exception 10 the action Of the board
accordingly. SO soon as this was done
the majority OF the board-Messrs. r.
$. Reams and j. n. Pierce-voted an ad-
GitiOnal levy, and certified their action
10 the Court, and stated their perfect
willingness always to obey implicitly the
process Of the Court and further answer
ed under oath that they understood that
they were doing that very thing and
that they had evidenced their willing
ness by their prompt action. Notwith-
standing this exhibit OF fact these two
supervisors were arraigned before the
Court and subjected to a trial and inves-
tgation.
T-uOu the same state OF affairs I was
subjected 10 a like course of proceeding.
II is true that all three of us were ac-
quilted but the occasion was taken to
administer quite a lecture.
10 should be stated that Mcssrs Pierce
and Reams were the Oriy members that
voted 10 obey the writ and lay the levy.
They did so. They opposed the issue Of
coupons. They were tried. Mr. 4. w.
Wilson. the remaining member. answer
ed. showing conclusiyely tv bis own state
mert and record that be only had diso-
beyod and disregarded the mandate Of
the Court lie was not tried. lie favored
the issue Of coupons.
Every fact j have alleged. except as
to the lecture delivered from the bench.
] assert can be proved by our record.
10 is not true that either ] or Messrs.
Roams and Pierce were disobeylng or
attempting TO disobey, the orders or de-
crees Of any court. our acquittal proves
that this is the truth.
