The object of the bill is to compel the ya by the state of Louisiana of its right- ‘ul obligations which it has repudiated.

AMERICAN SECURITIES IN IRELAND.—The U. S. Consul at Belfast, Ireland, in his dispatch to the bepartment of State, dated January 1, 1830, makes the following extract from the Belfast annual report on commerce: It is to the United States that one turns with almost unclouded satisfaction. A splendid harvest all over Amert- ca, and a thorough revival of trade have once more latched America on the stream of pros- perity. Railroad securities have advanced to an extraordinary extent. Here, in Belfast, there has been a great dealof money made in Ameri- can securities, and they will continue great fa- vorites with local investors, The north of Ire- land holdmore Philadelphia and Reading se- curities than any other part of the United King- dom, so the advance in these securities has been very gratifying to our community. | ‘This ex- traordinary improvement in American securi- ties has extended to the provision trade, causing advanced pricesin all branches, Although the supplles promise to be ample no marked decline in prices is probable. Epson has been granted a new patent for his “electric lamp.” SENATOR BLAINE, Of Maine, arrived here yes- rday afternoon on the limitgd express. ‘The Senator’s family is expected to arrive to-day. Last night Mr. Blaine was besieged by a num- ber of callers, who extended their congratula- tions over his triumph in Maine. The Senator says that he does not think that three days hence there will bea vestige of the fusion legisia- ture left. Mr. Blaine ts in excellent health and is not at all displeased with the “boom” which just now is making itself manifest in his presi- dential interest in Pennsylvania. ‘THE STAR ROUTE INVESTIGATION will probably be resumed Friday. THE Hovsk ComMITrEE on post offices and post roads this morning struck out from Repre- Sentative Dibrell’s bill, that portion to which objection was made yesterday, on the ground that it involved an appropriation and asamended it was ordered to be reported to the House. It simply provides “that all public roads and high- ways Shall be post routes.” CLOSING ARGUMENTS were made this morning before the House committee on public lands upon the bill to establish titles in Hot Springs, Ark.

THE SUGAR QuEsTion.—The committee of ways and means continued this morning the hearing of gentlemen interested in the sugar business and in the proposition to modify.the tariff. Mr. Searles made some closing explana- tions of his argument of yesterday. Mr. Na- thantel McVay gave the results of investigations made by him in the Island of Demerara, the ob- Ject being to show that raw sugars were not (as charged by the Treasury department) artificially colored there by acids in order to defraud the revenue. Mr. Danford Knowlton, of New York, made an a ent in opposition to the adva- loren: principle of taxing st and in favor of a specific duty. He complained of the orders (or “edicts”) of the Secretary of the. Treasury modifying the law by the taxation of sugar, not on color alone (as required by law) but on the crystallizable ae of sugar. He charac- ins lon of the Secretary as peg not only inimical to the rights and interests of the importers, but as be! an invasion, or ust = ton, of the rights of Congress, The he ‘will be continued to-morrow and Saturday. THE PENNSYLVANIA PROGRAMME.—A member of Congress from Pennsylvania said last even- ing to Tue Sra reporter that the state conven- ton, which meets at Harrisburg February 4th, will not instruct the delegates to the Chi convention to vote for Grant.

SENATE.— The Vice President announced that this day had been set apart for the delivery of commentaries upon the life and character of the late Senator Zachariah Chandler. Mr. Ferry submitted resolutions “that the Senate has received with profound sorrow the announcement of the death of Zachariah Chandler, late a Senator of the United States from the state of Michigan, and for nearly nine- teen years a member of this body; that to ex- press some estimate of his many services in his jong public career, rendered conspicuous by fearless, patriotic devotion, the business of the Senate be now suspended, that the associates of the departed Senator may pay fitting tribute to his pubile and private virtues.” The resolutions were unanimously agreed to. Mr. Ferry also submitted resolutions “that the loss the country sustained in the death of Mr. Chandler was manifest by expressions of public sorrow throughout the land; that as a mark of respect for the memory of the dead Senator, the inembers of the Senate will wear crape upon the left arm for thirty days; that the Secretary of the Senate inform the House of Representatives of this action; that as an addl- Const mark of respect, the Senate do now ad- journ.” Upon these resolutions Mr. Ferry spoke, He reviewed the well known public and private career of his late colleague, Whom he regarded as no ordinary man. Mr. Chandler first took his seat in the United States Senate in 1857, taking the oath at the same time with Hamlin, Bayard, Broderick, Preston King, Rusk, Cameron, Dixon, Wade, Mallory and Jefferson Davis. ‘The oath'was ad- minisiered to them by Mason, of Virginia, and however faithless to it some of them afterward were, Chandler believed and meant every word of it, and observed its obligations to the end of his life On all the great questions preceding developed by the war, Chandler's voice was ys plainly heard on thestde of those who loved country above even peace and lite. He Was the flrst ‘to move the appointment in the Senate of a committee on the conduct of the r, and credit was due to that committee for much of the success of the administration in pucting: down the rebellion. He was the first to demand the removal of McClellan, who, at the head of the finest army in the world, had re- mained inactive, and allowed his men to wasted by disease. The demand fell like a thunderbolt, but it cleared the s Though much occupied in thus maintaining the political ideas so gear to him, he was ac- live in advocating measures tending to de- velop the industries of our country. Tn the Senate he was often matched in debate with the ablest of his colleagnes, and was never found unequal to the ove ne Mr. Chandier, in the long suspense that rol- lowed the last Presidential election, was the first to penetrate the mist and see the truth and announce it’ by that ever memorable dis es has 185 votes and is elect- patch that proved prophetic. During the debate on granting a pension to Jefferson Davis a piece of paper floated down from the gallery containing tbe words “There seems to be no one here who dares call tre: by the right name.” Chandler read it and s re Will be before this debate closes,” and at 3 in the morning, after a weary night, he de- livered that phillipic upon treason now So fam- ous. He was a rough, rudely-cut diamond, but in honesty transparent as the crystal. He was disinterested in his service of his country. It All he asked was a His patriotism was but sincere, and his cost him time and mone} place in which to serve homely, unpretentiou: memory will be che ‘d by his countrymen. Mr. Ferry read his speech trom manuscript, occupying’an hour in its delivery. Mr. Anthony followed, speaking without notes. He spoke highly of the genuine oratorical abil- ity of the late Senator, which denoted the solld- ity and honesty of his'character. Mr. Chandler was a party man, believing par' sential to good republican government. Having selected the party which seemed to him to embody the principles most appropriate for us he manfully upheld them to the end. Mr. Anthony's ré- marks were very brief though elegant. Senator Bayard was the next speaker. He held opinions radically opposed to those of the dead Senator, and did not intend to dwell upon those differences now. Mr. Chandler was a man of strong convictions, but open-handed and honest. Throughout a long public career, in which he held many public oftices, no one had ever accused or even suspected him of making personal gain out of his opportunities. He was a man of vigorous, frank organization, and his personal faults ‘were the outgrowth of his nature. He kept his word. He opie a cow- ard and loathed a hypocrite. Mr. Bayard bore willingly testimony to these personal virtues, and could recall Many instances of his accom- mcdating kindness and personal courtesy which rend the transaction of business with him so easy and agreeable. *‘For the rest, I feel that we are too near his active political life to express positive judgments upon it and justly measure so vigorous and influential a character as his. It must be viewed at a distance to be correctly estimated. Time will mellow and reflection will soften the seperitics and antmosities caused by recent and heated conflict which may obscure present judgments.” Mr. Hamlin followed, paying a warm tribute to Mr. Chandler's personal and political quall- tes, which had gained him friends and enemies, as every strong Character must. Mr. Blaine was the next speaker. He said New Hampshire, the birthplace of Chandler, had produced many of our great men; among them Webster, Dix, Greeley, Chase and Cass. Throughout the late Senator's active political life he was associated with the greatest men of our country and time. A writer of the time of his entrance into this life had sald that Chand- jer’s coming was like the arrival of a fresh divi- sion to reinforce a hard-pressed army. He quickly achieved a national reputation. His inspiring presence, burning zeal and strength- ening faith, placed him in the front rank of those eminent in the history of the war period. ‘Those who knew him in the last years of his life had marked a constant intellectual growth. His character and capacity broadened. It would not be just even on this occasion to say that Mr. Chandler had no favlis, But even his ene- mies would admit that he had no meannesses. Mr. Logan followed Mr. Blaine, speaking high- ly of Mr. Chandler's personal integrity and the vigor and sincerity or his character. Lr. Morrill reviewed the lite and public ser- vices of the dead Senator, and speaking of his devotion to the Union said: “Mr. Chandier was intensely loyal to the Republic—not to a sham, nor to ‘such swuff as dreams are made of—but toa sovereignty under organjc law, able and ready to give back to its citizens something in return for all services demanded, He would have been ashamed of a weak. spineless, and rickety republic, or one on any Snantsh Ameri- can pattern, having no iron in ‘its blood, and ready to break down at the first hostile pronun- clamento; but he was proud of that which stands Soe both in peace and war, and by its regard for law and order, by its devotion to human rights, by its adherence to every pledge of public faith, by its matchless ‘march of tree- dom and its progressive spirit, has also shown itself worthy to rule and protect, with an im- perishable vitality, the American continent. Along with a stalwart frame, he carried a stal- walt will, and was blessed with that outspoken decision of character which bends not to the right nor to the left to obtain support.” In conclusion Mr. Morrill said: “Senator Chandler was a A yee never a neutral, but a republican of the straitest sect. By no free- trade tariff would he build up foreign trade on a degraded people, nor buildup a ee home trade on money intrinsically unsound. He was a staunch friend of intet improvements, and on such questions as the equality of man before the law, land for the landless, schools for the illiterate, he might almost be'styled a Hebrew of the Hebrews. He believed in republican men and measures, and so believed because to him they were nothing less than the custodians and sure promises of the honor and prosperity of the country. His opinions, based upon full and Poe Re poerer | were stoutly held, and did not ebb and flow with every c! of the moon. He was not a juent speaker in the Senate, and his wit never got blunted by having too fine a point, but when he did speak, having some- fees ee Say, his words were so hearty and straightforward that neither friend nor foe could Sos oo ringing force or misinterpret their Mr. Blair was the next speaker.

During the yellow fe epidemic that ofticer had shown a nobility of character which had never been paralleled. His deeds would live as long as history should exist. The bill was passed. Mr. Lapham, from judiciary committee, re- ported bill giving the consent of Congress to the agreement or compact entered into by the states of New York and Vermont respecting the boundaries between these states. Passed. Mr. McCook, from committee on military affairs, reported bill appropriating $4,100 for the eo ‘ion of a monument to Brig. Gen. Herkimer. Passed. The Speaker then proceeded to call commit- tees for reports. Mr. Cook, from committee on P. O. and R. R., reported bill declaring all public roads aud high- Ways post routes. Mr. Cannon objected to the bill. It declared that the three or four million miles of niga) ‘ays should be post routes, and was a very Import- ant bill, which deserved full discussion and de- bate. Tt would put it out of the power of the proper state authorities to change, to the extent ofa single foot, any road in the United States. Mr. Stone argued in supeatt of the power of Congress to pass such a bill. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, opposed the bill. There was safety ta the mail service on rail- reads, !nasmuch as the railroads were paid ac- cording to the weight of the matls. But in re- gard to star service, Instead of paying for the service as it was performed, the country was paying an indefiniie amount. The service on the route between Fort Worth and Yuma, com- mencing at $6,000, had run up to $100,000, and yet the Postmaster-General could not tell even the number of post offices on the roads.

The boat was va ued at $35,000, and was insured in Cincinnati for 318,000. The’ steamer, at the time of accident, had on board a cargo of 2,105 bales of cotton, 60 barrels of molasses, with a lot of su which were destroyed. The fire wa ceived in the bursting out of flames bet second tier of cotton, and tn a moment after boat was one sheet of flame. Although s fitted out with all the appli- ances necessary for safety, in time of dis : the speed of the fire was so rap'd that there was. no time allowed toapply them. The pilot on duty at the time the accident occurred, stood at his post and headed the boat for the shore. But tor his coolness and bravery the loss of lite would have been very great—there being 104 persons aboard. When the boat neared the shore, the planks were immediately shoved out, yet, such was the heat of the fire and the haste of those aboard tosave themselves, that many jumped into the er, and a few of these for- tunately succeeded in reaching the shore tn safety. Two passengers were badly hurt by falling in the staging, in the desperate efforts they made to save their lives. All the gers, among whom was one lady, was The lost were Wm.

Wall Street To-Day. NEw York, Jan. 28.—The Post's financial ar- Ucle says: The Stock Exchange markets are less active than yesterday, but are all strong. United States bonds are unchanged. Railroad investments, notably first-class mortgage bonds, are higher. Speculative shares are all higher, the futures being the Vanderbilt stocks, partic~ ularly Lake Shore and Michigan Central, and the Gould stocks, like Wabash and Pacific and Kansas and Texas. Erie, which is not so easily Classified, is also higher. There has also been another rise in Nashville and Chattanooga, and in the Wisconsin stocks. It is natural that as prices for the old sti s are so high, speculation should incline to new stocks as they come upon the market.

WHEELING, WeEsT Va., Jan. 25.—Sensational special eae have been sent hence re- cently to different sections of the country in reference to fires and fire-bugs which have very little foundation, and are wholly unjustifiable, One of the specials to a Baltimore paper says there were fifteen fires in fourteen hours. There is no truth in the statement. While there has been a number of alarms, the largest fire that has occurred was on the 26th, and the amount of loss was only $500, which includes three houses.

Ross, the colored highwayman who assaulted an elderly lady named Mary T, McCauley, and forclbly took her port-monnate from her, at the entrance to the gricultural grounds, a few days ago, was arraigned on the charge of highway robbery, and pleaded guilty to the charge. District Attorney Corkhill stated the facts, and said that this is one of a classof cases which are becoming a frequent occurrence in that neighborhood, and should be punished to the full extent of the law. Detective Coomes testifled that the prisoner has been well known to the detectives and police of this city for six or eight years, and that he has been sent to the penitentiary for burglary. The court remarked that this was a cowardly assault, and as he had come out of the peniten- tlary an unreformed man, he would not have a chance to do anything wrong for seven years, as he would have to serve that time in the Al- bany penitentiary. A CONTESTED WILL.—Yesterday, Messrs. Rid- dle, Miller and Padgett, for Willa A. Loomis, tiled a Dill in equity against Orwin J., Chas. H., Ella L, and Joanna M. mis, to set aside the will of Hiram D. Loomis. The bill of complaint sets forth that she was a widow and came to this city to reside in 1s64, and had about $500 | that her husband left her and a pension of $3 | per-month; that she procu a ‘ition in the Treasury department at per month, which she still holds. Some time there- after she became acquainted with Hiram D. | Loomis, who was a clerk under the United States government. He was a widower with | three children—Orwin J., Charles H. and Ella J. | Loomis. She loaned him money at various times, amounting in all to $1,100, for which she re- ceived promissory notes. On September 1, 1867, she intermarried with him, and during the en- uing coverture became the mother of Joanna, he fourth defendant, and Maud, since deceased; that soon after the marriage they purchased a lot on D street southeast for $1,500, In which was in- cluded the $1,100, but it was stipulated between herself and husband that upon his making a will devising the property to her absolutely, the $1,100 note should be cancelled. Later on they bought the adjoining lot for $500, and \ ae Tor {t out of the money received by her from the government, her salary having in the mean- time been Increased. This was to be devised in the same way as the first. In December, 1869, | Mr. Silas L. Loomis prepared a will that was ex- ecuted by her husband devising the property as agreed, and the $1,100 note was surrendered and destroyed. Her husband died March 21, 1870, but prior thereto, on the 9th of March, he exe- cuted a second will, revoking the ficst. In the last she supposed that he devised th serge | to her, made her executrix and lan Of alt the children. He also left a $1,000 life insur- ance policy for the benefit of the first wife and three children, which was collected and paid to the latter. After her husband’s death she built an $1,500 house on the vacant lot and improved the other dwelling. Being advised to have the property transferred in her own name, on ex- amination of the will she found that it conveyed to her only a life estate. She believes that the will was not executed as is required by law, and is therefore invalid. She therefore asks that the will be set aside and property conveyed sband. riminal to her by the heirs of her deceased husbant A Yoururvt PickpockeT.—In the Police Court to-day, Frank Curran, a small white boy, was charged with picking the pocket of a white lady. Agentieman named Barr testified that he saw the boy in the ge re Church last Sun- day acting in a suspicious way, and when the congregation was dismissed he (the boy) fol- lowed the lady a short distance from the church and picked her pocket of her pocketbook. He was. sent to the Reform School during his minority. —— On THE LoogouT For THrevEs.—In the Police Court, to-day, Samuel Lee was chi et Henry Johnson, both col Johnson testified that he informed a policeman that there was some person in a stable on D street, between Ist and 2d streets northeast, about midnight last night, and they both went to see who it was.

Lee testified that he had been losing articles from his noe on eeey so ey fe dooney for leves. The court sald acted too hasti- ly, and fined him $5. ‘THE 77H STREET CUTTING CasE.—This_morn— ing in the Police Court, Robert Dent and Scott Gordon were arraigned for an assault and bat~ tery on W.
