Congress will re-assemble next Tuesday. The first business which will be taken up will be the report of the committee on rules, the debate upon which promises to be quige extended. ‘It is ex- pected that Chairman Springer, of the elections committee, will also have two or three election cases to report after the holidays. The object of the lea democratic reed will be to pre- vent the agitation, if possible, of any subject caleulated to bring on a sectional division. The fear is though that the Maine complication will force a volitical war of words in both branches. ‘The committee on ways and means will, im- mediately upon re-assembling, take up for con- sideration the letter of Secretary Sherman and the Garfield bill, providing for the refunding of the five and six per cent. bonds of 1881. Clsair- man Wood is opposed to ying Secretary Sher- man the authority to fund with a bond, bearing over 33 per cent. interest, while the Secretary, in a letter to Mr. Morrill, of the Senate finance committee, lays down some very cogent objec- tions to Chairman Wood's proposition. The 2pprd riation committee will report the marshal’s deficiency appropriation bill next week. Its consideration is likely to provoke a repetition of the debates of the extra session. A movement will be made ta induce the foreign affairs committee to formulatea Dill very materially abridging the present diploma- tic and consular system. i The banking and currency committee will robably take a vote on the Fort resolution to let all matters affecting the volume and value of the currency circulation alone, next Satur- day, at which meeting Gen.

Mrs. Hill- yer’s residence, 2121 Massachusetts avenue, where they are now staying. Mrs. Stewart and Miss Page express the most sincere gratitude for the heroic exertions of the fire department on the occasion of the fire at the Stewart residence Tuesday evening, and say very little damage would have been done by the fire had there been a sufficient supply of water. ‘They also express their sense of the great kind- ness and attention shown, not only by wealthy neighbors, but even those in the humblest po- 3 itions. While the loss by the fie, and the water which drenched the furnitui d walls, was very great, Mrs. Stewart does not think there were any thefts such as are only too common under such circumstances. Speaker Randall was detained in Philadelphia yesterday, but large numbers of callers at his residence on Capitol Hill were most gracefully and hospitably received by Mrs. Randall. There was a brilliant ae party last night at the residence of Mr. Wm. B. Shaw, on Ver- mont avenue, which lasted among the late hours. The toilets of the ladies were among the handsomest of the day’s receptions. Gen. Grant in the South. WARM WELCOME AT BEAUFORT. Gen. Grant arrived in Beaufort, S. C., yester- day, and was greeted by the crowd, of about 3,000 persons, with hearty applause. At the entrance to the town there was an arch bearing the word “Welcome” in evel ns. On the arrival of the party at the hotel Intendant Wil- llams, on behalf of the committee, extended the hospitalities of the town in ashort speech. Gen. Grant responded as follows:—“It affords me great pleasure to be allowed the opportunity to visit Beaufort, though only for an hour. This locality occupies a conspicuous place in history. For the last twenty years it certainly has. The t_qualities of the newly emancipated race are developed here. I thank you for yoar hos- pitable and warm welcome.” Commodore Pat- Uson and the officers of the fleet stationed at Charleston paid their respeets in full uniform. RECEPTION AT SAVANNAH. Gen. Grant and party arrived at Savannab at 10 p. m., and were received by the mayor, board of aldermen and collector of the port. The colored military companies, which had been ee in honor of Emancipation Day, assem- led at the depot with a brass band, and as the train rolled in gave loud cheers. Gen. Grant was taken in charge by the mayor, the remain- der of the party being eseorted to the Screven House by committees of aldermen. The colored militia companies desiring to escort Gen. Grant, the battalion was formed, and the carriage con- taining the General and mayor was escorted from the depot, followed by a large crowd. At the hotel a considerable number of whites had gathered. There was no demonstration as the General left the carriage and ascended the hotel steps, with the exception of three more cheers given by the colored militia, THE INAUGURATION OF GOV. CORNELL took pee at noon yesterday in the assembly cham- er of the new capitol at Albany. It was a very plain and simple ceremony, lasting only a few ininutes, but itwas witnessed by a vast con- course of citizens. Gov. Robinson cordially wel- comed Gov. Cornell to the high office to which he had been chosen, and concluded by hoping that his administration might be such as to in- crease his own honor and confer enduring bene- fits upon the people of the whole state. Gov. Cornell, in responding, said as chief magistrate Goy. Robinson had vigorously and fearlessly exercised his official -prerogative and given his adininistration high rank with those which had preceded it. Fora long time it had seemed to him that we were quick to find fault with public men, but careless in expressing appreciation of faithful service. Perhapsmore careful discrimi- nation in this regard would contribute quite as much to elevate our public service as some other remedies which had been sus ted for present evils. It should beremembered that great prizes Were offered to men of ability in other pursuits which went far beyond anything they realized in official life. The learned professions, the arTangement of corporations and other great business enterprises afforded opportunities for compensation and distinction which lessened the attractions of the public service and in- cuced many of our best men to neglect affairs of government. Continuing, the governor said: “The dark clouds which $0 long cast’ their shadows over the business affairs of the country have broken away and the new year opens in thé bright sunlight of prosperity.” In conclu- sion he said he accepted the great trust com- mitted to his keeping with a profound sense of the responsibilities Involved, and with a full determination to faithfully and impartially dis- charge the obligations assumed. ‘The governors then gave a reception to the citizens. eee Two HOUSEHOLDS WRECKED—Allempted Mur- der and a Suit for Divorce.—A Cleveland Herald Special from Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 31, says: In- lense excitement, was created yesterday after- noon by the sudden exposure of a scandal in which two of the leading families in the city ete most prominently. For some time past Mr. Emil Ambers, a liquor dealer, has had rea- son to suspect that wife, one of the most beautiful women in the city,’ was on terms of ee T intimacy with Mr. John Reinhard, teller In the banking house of Reinhard & Co, His suspicions were such that for some days he has set a watch on the movements of the young man, who, by the way, is married and occupies a high social’ ’po- sition. This afternoon Ambers received infor- mation that his wife had accompanied Rein- hard to an adjo! house, where they were followed by the husband and a policeman. The latter {gained admittance through a window, but was securely locked in a room by those in: side. By this time a Secon had gathered and an additional man Summoned in the house by storm.

Reinhard, and of high sociai ieee eu ee ae i &) ivorce, 2 led an ut usual sensation. reste ae THREE BOYS DOWNED WHILE SKATING.—Harry Coles, Charley Burlin and Shave Dorian, Cot , aN b the ice while + ment, ‘The Maine Crisis. THE QUESTIONS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT. Chief Justice ree of Maine, has sum- moned all the associate justices of the supreme court to assemble in w to-day to consider the questions propounded by Governor Gafce- lon. A decision is expected to-morrow. A spe- cial from Augusta to the Boston Herald says:— “It appears that not a single member of the e: ecutive council agreed with the governor in his determination to ask the opinion of the supreme court on the questions telegraphed last night. &r. Pillsbury, too, was strongly opposed to the plan, but the governor, backed by Mr. Gould, made the concession to public sentiment.” A FUSION SENATOR GRIEVES HIS COLLEAGUES. One of the fusion senators elect, Isaac T. Hob- Son, of Lincoln county, greenbacker of republi- can antecedents, has grieved his fusion friends by declaring that the sole business of the legis- lature after organizing ought to be the adjust- ment of the question of disputed seats, and that nothing else should be done until that is tinish- ed. Hobson is one of the counted-in himsceit. The fusion managers insist that the election of governor and state officers must be proceeded With, and the election cases deferred as usyal, as to settle these contested seats and complete the fraud and bribery investigation contempla- ted would be to leave everythiug at loose ends and the state without a governor for weeks if not months. THE REPUBLICANS SATISFIED. An Augusta, Me., dispatch to the Boston Ad- vertiser says the republicans are well pleased that the governor and council have submitted any points to the supreme court and have a degree of confidence that, notwithstanding the ingenuity exercised in ae the Peta Joe tions so as to put the court In the position cf a witness who is permitted to give only direct answers to such questions as the lawyer con- ducting the examination chooses to ask, the court will find a way to indicate its opinion concerning what may legitimately be done under the constitution and laws to securea just declaration of tbe results of the election. The same dispatch says it is reported on good au- thority that the democrats have arranged for contesting the seats of a mumber of republicans to settle the election cases. Before doing any- thing else they would turn out another repub- lican for every one of those counted out whom they saw fit to admit, and thus preserve their majority. The first number of E. F. Pillsbury’s new demgcratic daily paper, the Sindara, ap- peared t@ay. It has the following concerning the legislature: “The coming session of the legislature will be one of the most important, interesting and exciting ever held in the state. For the first time in 24 years the opponents of the republican party will be Ina majority in both branches and in control of the state gov- ernment.” THE GUARD AT THE STATE HOUSE. Specials from Augusta state that the ap- proaches to the state house are closely guarded, und that armed men are also posted In various parts of the interior of the building, for the pur- pose of affording the authorities any protection that may be needed. The armed guard at the state house is there only in the night time, and then not to keep away anyone who has business at the capitol. The authorities explain that ha force is deemed prudent on account of threats made in public meetings and otherwise of forcibie resistance to the regularly consti- uted authority. COLORED IMMIGRANTS IN KANsAs.—A staff correspondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, a republican paper, who has been making an in- vestigation of the exodus in Kansas during four weeks’ travel through the state, writes a letter ving his conclusions. He estimates the num- T Of refugees in the state of all ages at 15,000. Of these he thinks that. EOS Diy one-fifth were able to buy alittle land and are ee a progress in fat . Most of the remainder have found through the Freedman’s Relief Association places as laborers, and are giving good satisfac- tion. In no county did he tind them burdens upon corporated @haritles; but the demand for these laborer has been stretched to its fullest capacity, as the accumulation of refugees at the barracks, now nearly 700, for whom no places can be found, clearly indicates. ‘THREE CANNIBALS arrived at San Francisco ten days ago on the French gunboat Lamothe Bah Wr In July intelligence was recelved at Tahiti, where the vessel then was, that a Swede had been killed on the Island of La Dominica, one of the Marquesas group, by the natives. The gunboat at once set sail for the island, and in August a landing was effected. ‘The force took up a position in the valley of Hanalapa, qd where they were soon after attacked by a large body of natives. The natives were armed with muskets, and fought desperately, but after a while retreated, leaving several of their number dead upon the field. They were pursued, and among those captured were the three men now in San Francisco. A reporter went on board to ask them how they liked babies for steady diet. “‘Are you not cold, Puato?” was the first query, as, in obediempe to the captain, he opened his shirt and epee a hieroglyphical mass of tattooing on his muscular chest. “Ugh, yes, me very’ cold,” chattered the fellow. “Puato, do you like toeat men?” The large eyes dropped to the deck, almost a blush starting to the sur- face of the swarthy cheek, not covered by tat- too, as he rejoined: “Captain say bad eat man.” “Puato, did you ever eat a baby?” The great eyes dropped again, and then looked up into the reporter's face with a half-scared. half-quizzical expression, he replied: “Me no eat baby. Manowa he like baby.” Manowa only replied to this assertion by a genuine savage glance at Puato, and the sententious answer, in tolerably good French, “Sacre enfant.” THE TRIAL OF Rev. W. W. HaypEn.—At the trial Wednesday of Rev. W. W. Hay- den for the murder of Mary Stannard, Imogene A. Stannard, of Northford, Conn., a sister of the murdered girl, testified that on the night ot the oyster supper, On March 20th, 1878, she left | the parsonage about 11 o’elock ‘with’ Charles Hawley, her half-brother, They went along toward home and stopped at Hayden’s house to see if Mary was ready to go ome. Hayden fol- Jowed and entered the house after them. They remained but five minutes, leaving Hayden alone with Mary. Witness stated that she had been in service in Northford two years or more, and was positive that it was 11 c’clock when Hayden ahd Mary were left together. Mary re- mained because Hayden wanted her tostay with him. AMONG THE BEQUESTS Of the late Judge Packer, the railroad capitalist, which, it ts said, has just been announced for the first time, is the sum of $300,000, the interest of which is to be used for the support in St. Luke’s hospital, at Bethle- hem, Pa., of workmen of the Lehigh Vatley rail- road company who become crippled, sick or too old to work while In the company’s lmploy- —<——— eee A BURGLAR FRIGHTENED BY A CHILD.—Edle Neff, a bi it little flaxen-halred 7-year old daughter of Mr.Wm.

Arrival of Parnell and Party. New York, Jan. 2—On board the steamship Scythia, which dropped anchor off Quarantine this snoring are Messrs. Parnell, Dillon and Davitt, the Tish agitators. They are being greeted this morning by the New York reception committee, and a party of friends have gone down to Quarantine to meet them. Mr. Devlin’s Welcome Address. A large delegation of well-known citizens boarded the steamship Scythia this mornii shortly aiter her arrival and heartily welcome Mr. Parnell and his companions to America. Among them were W.H. Kelly, John J.gW. ©'Donohue, General McMahon, Jno. E. Devlin, J.J. Gorman and other prominent Irishmen: ‘They were placed on board the steamer from a revenue cutter. As they approached the Scythia Mr. Parnell appeared at the port rail of the lat- tet, when he was greeted with three rousing cheers by the committee. On reaching the deck and being introduced to Mr. Parnell and Mr. Dillon, Mr. Devlin read an address in which he said: “The Irish element in our citizenship with a characteristic pride of patriotism give to you a_ heartwhole love for your manly TIrishism. Your unswerving devotion to Ireland’s cause; the citizens of other foreign origin recognizing no circumsy ton of race, religion or region, when humanity is to be sustained and the cause of justice upheld, offer you their earnest sympathies in the battle for a nation’s relief; while the Americans proper re- garding your proud American descent, claim a distributive share of the honor attaching to your public career and join in paying tribute te your private worth. On all grounds, represen- tatives of all nationalities unite in this recep- tion. We await with anxiety your programme of.action. It is due to you, however, to say in anticipation that we repudlate the commun- istic complexion sought to be placed upon your movement. Your policy, sir, has preceded you. Your principles are appreciated. We hold that there is no ground for the imputation of communism in the advocacy of a pe le’s right to a living from the land of their irth. All we can do in the present is to prom- ise you the moral support of our sympathy—the material aid of our practical exertions’ here. And while we may not speak authoritatively tor other states and cities, yet we have sufficient foreshadowings to indicate that everywhere in this great land you will meet with a reception and Tesponse worthy of the high reputation which in your person has proved the attendant en private merit and,the accompaniment of patriotic worth.” Mr. Parnell’s Rep! a Mr. Parnell replied as follows:—** Mr, Devlin, Mr, Stone and Gentlemen: T + that my power of language is not suftictent to convey to you my appreciation of the kindness and honor that you have done me in meeting me this morning, and I feel Indebted to you individually and collectively. It has always been a great pleasure to me to come to the United States of America, I could have wished that circum- stances attending our native land were of a more happy and prosperous character, but we must hope and believe that the time is approaching when we may beable to speak of Ireland as other men speak of their own country, and that we may be able to speak of her as really and truly among the nations of the earth—as' you have very well expressed in your address. Mr. Devlin, our task is of a double character. We have to war against a system which causes discontent and suffering in our country, and we have to endeavor to break down that system, and with God’s help we are determined to bi it down. We have also to see that victims of system are not suf- fered to perish in the meanwhile. We are to take care that unity and strength of our people is not broken, and that now, when an oppor- tunity has really come for the settlement of one of the leading questions in Ireland, that op- portunity may not lost. Physical suffering and misery and starvation of large portions of our population in Ireland has hot been exag- gerated. We have been calling upon the gov- ernment for eight months to relieve that distress, but it has only been within the last few days that the English government has agreed to admit tnat there is any distress. ‘This was brought to their notice by a letter irom the Duchess of ieee wife of the lord Heutenant, which states that there was going to be famine and dire distress during the coming winter. It is what we have warned the government and our people at home and abroad for some time, and only now that itis too well spread for almost any effectual remedy do those rulers in of ree ppeanto Midexstant) at all their responsibility. We, who have been working at this great land question and have prematurely taken the responsibility off the shoulders of the government have not up to the present made any ap} to the government for the relief of the destitution of Ireland. But we feel that we cannot longer shut onr eyes to the terrible blot that is approaching, and we think that we ought to put the case before our own countrymen, both at home and here in America, and endeavor to enlist their de oa with our efforts. We believe that in this country the Sympathy accorded will be generous and noble, despite the efforts of the iglish press to de- precnie the merits of the American nation, We know full well that our countrymen in America will do their duty, as they have in every clime, to their suffering brethren at home. In brief, I confidentially anticipate the result of our mission. I belieye that the result will be of such a nature as to give plcaany tousand also give help to our people at home, andI can only conclude by again asking you to believe that I thank you most heartily for your great kindness in meeting ‘us on the threshold of America. Again I thank you.” [Applause] Mr. Dillon was then called upon and delivercd an address, THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.
