.IovG CONTEST OVER TIE SENATE RESOLUTION


To ,pJovRN JUNE 1O-MR. WOOD APPARENTLY


BEATEN.


lRY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIDUSEl


WASnINGTJN, April 1.-THE Senate paSseo very
sensible resolution during the morning hour to-nS'
providing for final adjournment OF the present e''
sion of Congress on June 10. When the resolution
was sent To the House and read 1t wa reeecu WIN
applause on the Republican side.


Soon after. the House went to the business on the
Sneakers ta0lc. and one of the first things TO be
reached was tins adjournment resolution. Mr.. Fer
nando Wood Immediately made the customary me-
ton to refer it to the Committee on ways ana
Means On this he called the previous question:
All of the Republicans with perhaps one exception,
that of Mr. Burchard who is member OF the Com-
mttee OH WAYS and Means voted in the negative; ana
the motion wasalso opposed by the Democratic mei-
bers from New-England, Pennsylvania, and lew
scattering Democratic Representatives from Other
States Mr. Woods motion was lost, by vote
of los in the affirmative to 13O in the negative
The Speaker then ruled that the previous question
continued to operate and the next motion in order
before the House was to in the Senate res
olution Against this the Democrats at once began TO
flbuster and they succeeded in using up the re-
mander of the afternoon and securing an adjourn
ment before vote could be reached on the rcSOlu-
tiOn.


The question which lay beneath the surface of this
contest was one which involved the fate of the Tariff
Bill The advocates of this measure were thoroughly
convinced that if the day for the final adjournment
of the present session of Congress is fixed by the
concurrent resolution of both Houses for the 10th
of June it wllnot be possible for any action to be
taken on Mr. Woods Tariff bill before that time.
Besides if the Senate resolution is cOncurred in the
House will be unable to extend the session beyond
the date fixed except by permission of the Senate,
and the latter is not likely to rescnd amend its
adjournment resolution before the 10th of June,
and not then unless some important appropriation
bill is sure to fail without short extension.


As the House stood at the hour of adjournment
tonight Mr. Wood was beaten by majority of
about twenty votes but Democratic caucus was
held tins evening for the consideration Of the
subject, and it is barely possible that party dlscl-
pine may be sufficient to give the Democratic
leaders control of the House tomorrow, and 10
secure the reference of the resolution to the Ways
and Means Committee. If this committee once gets
control of it. it will not be likely to see t1e hight
again until some decisive action has been taken on
the Tariff Bill.

they can support themselves, and our

ACoNPARIsON sONAMKEpED-These "hat" Green
bsckers would make nice story To illustrate
their favorite theory, if they we're allowed to
tell it as they chose, with no one to contradict
them, Some Of their comparisons are weighty
in tho extreme. Elder Mitchell, when he spoke
in Troy, got Of this original idea: He said that
plov-besms were first made of dogwood. The
people imagined, then, that dogwood was the
only kind of timber out Of which plow-beams
could be made. But after awhile, the dogwood
became exhausted, and the people did not know
what in the world to use for plow-beams. FL
nally some one tried the experiment Of making
plow beams of oak, and, to their astonishment,
they found that oak was better than dogwood
for plow-beams. HE comparison was, that peo-
pie have for ages imagined that nothing would
do for money but gold and silver, but that when
they come to try the experiment, they win find
that fat paper will not only serve in stead, but
will be an improvement.


Judge Price, in his remarks, the other night,
referring to this learned idea, observed that, in
order to make parallel case, the Elder should
have selected something else than oak, for that
was only substituting wood for wood. He should
have cut ont piece Of paper the pattern Of
plow- beam, and printed on it, "This is plow-
BEAM and then undertaken to plow with it, and
he would have found ont Just how valuable fat
trash is rs money.

The proposition of Delegate Camp
bell, of California, to incorporate fog
ging as one of the punishments proper
under the law will commend itself to
those who have watched the growth of
crime as one Of the most effectual cor
receives that can be devised for certain
offenses. For instance, the common
practice of garroting; two reckless fel-
lows resolve to stick up" a citizen re-
turning to his home late at night, and
they proceed to carry their plan into
execution by suddenly pouncing upon
the unsuspecting person, compelling
him to deliver up his valuables under
threats of taking his life; or they over
power him, and bya blow in the stom-
ach and compression of the throat rem
der him powerless for a time-long
enough to permit the rifing of his
clothes. If the garroters succeed,
they are tolerably safe from detection,
and if they fail and are captured, there
is very little terror in the prospect of
punishment, so little that they think it
not worth while to make any effort to
prevent conviction. If sentenced to
State prison, the convicts are appa-
rently asked what kind of idleness will
be most agreeable, and that soft billet
which suits the aesthetic tastes of a
gentlemarly garroter will be assigned
him. Instances have been given,
within few days, of forgers Off
ciating as book keepers and general
managers, and embezzlers acting

even the badge of the prison
garb to inform the visitor that the
"gentlomanly" conductor had taken
his employers money, or had deprived
the city of its revenue by appropriat-
ing it to private use through the
agency of forged documents. If, in
stead of consigning the garroter, the
forgerer and the mean embezzler to
the comforts of the State prison and
the luxury of good clothes and easy
work, ther could be sent to the public
whipping-post to receive thirty or forty
lashos, the number of criminals would
speedily decrease, and the citizens
would feel infinitely safer, both on the
street and in their counting-rooms.
The degradation of the Aogging would
be tcn-fold greater punishment than
close confinement or hard labor in the
prisons, which many Of the criminals
very curionsly avoid. Some tender
hearted people say the punishment is
cruel, but they should remember that
