DEWITT, Prop. . jal4-8n Sharp Discussion in the Senate. ‘MR. CHANDLER SPEAKS HIS MIND ON THE THOMAS DESIGN FOR A NEW CRUISER. After the executive session closed yesterday afternoon the Senate took up the naval appro- Priation bill and considered it, Amendment after amendment was agreed to as rapidly AS the clerk could read them, and it looked as though the bill would soon be completed. A serious interruption, however. came from Sen- ator Chandler, who moved to strike gut that portion of the paragraph authorizin; e COn- struction of a ce je Hog which contained the following: “Of the type and to be constructed oes to plans and specifications to be furnished to the Navy department by Hon. Jno. R. Thomas, of Illinois, to be approved by the Secretary of the Navy. Mr, Chandler said i would be an anomaly in legisiation for Congress to provide for a vessel of such size and importance as the one pro- posed, ‘‘an armored steel cruising monitor, of not less than 3,000 tons displacement,” to cost a million anda half of dollars, and then say that the type and plans and specifications shail be furnished by an honorable member of the House of Representatives, a member of the naval committee of the House, about to go out of Congress. Mr. Cullom defended the paragraph, and read a large number of testimonials as to the merits of ore. Thomas’ design which came from the Secretary of the Navy and a nnomber of Prominent naval constructors and officials, Mr. Chandler said he had been uniformly op- posed to that kind of legislation. He waa op- posed to any attempt to legislate any particu- lar man’s invention upon the Navy department. Inventors should not go to Congress, inventors should not dog the doors of the committees on nayal affairs and worry Congress, and get up certificates commending them and their inven- tions as a man gets up petitions for appoint- ment inacabinet. The whole system was vi- cious, Mr. Cullom, in replying, referred to Mr. Chandler's remark about Mr. Thomas’ action in the matter being like getting up petitions to be appointed cabinet officers, “I do not know,” continued Mr. Cullom, “whether the Senator by that remark meant to make a fling at this gentleman or not, but I do know that there used to be a time when petitions were gotten up for cabinet offices and other positions, and sometimes the party getting them up failed to succeed.” Mr. Hawley said he could not see anything articulariy new in the plans offered by Mr. homas. was simply a new combination of old ideas, Further discussion was cut short at 5:30 by adjournment and the discussion went over until to-day, The Assassination of John M. Clayton. PROPOSED INVESTIGATION BY THE NEXT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. - A resolution was offered in the House yester- day by Representative Grosvenor relating to recent events in the second congressional dis- trict of Arkansas which culminated in the as- sassination of Hon. John M. Clayton, of that state. A preamble to the resolution recites the nomination of Clifford R. Breckinridge and John M. Clayton as rival candidates from the second district of Arkansas: that Breckinridge was declared elected, received the certificates and his name has been placed by the clerk of the House upon the roll of members-elect of the next House. Continuing, the preamble recites that Clayton claimed that Breckinridge was not legally elected, and that he (Clayton) received a great majority of the votes cast and was entitled to the certificate, and moved a contest, which was pending on January 29, when testimony was being taken to establish Clayton’s allegations; that while personally supervising the work Clayton was assassinate that there is no one legaily authorized to com, plete the taking of the testimony in the con- test. The resolution. therefore, provides for a committee of five members of the next House to investigate and report to the next House upon the metter; and that if the law is de- ficient to permit them to prosecute their inves- tigation and to carry on the contest, that they then be required to report a bill for a new law covering such cases, The resolution was re- ferred to the committee on elections, The Pride of an Irish Prince. From Blackwood’s Magazine. We are told of McDermot, known as the prince of Coolavin, who belonged to one of the principal Connaught families, that his income in 1776 barely amounted to £100 a year, yet he never suffered his children to sit down in his resence. Lady Morgan adds that his daughter- in-law alone was permitted to eat at his table; even his wife was not accorded this privilege. as, though well-born, she was not of royal blood. hen Lord Kingsborough, Mr. Pon- sonby, Mr. O’Hara, Mr. Sanford, and others, all men of position, came to see him he only took notice of the two last named, whom he thus addressed: “O'Hara, you are welcome! Sanford, I am glad to see your mother's son” (his mother was an O’Brien), “As to the rest of ye, come in as ye can.” —eeo_____. Wine and Music. From the Gentleman’s Magazine, Beethoven penned most of his sublime music at a favorite coffee-house, or ata tavarn hard by; Schubert's many and inspired melodies were written in a tavern amid the clatter of glasses and beery argument: Mozart wrote much of his beautiful music during his inter- vals of rest, when playing billiards and drink- ing at a restaurant; Rossini was like the other Titans of music—with this exception, he not only composed many of his lavish melodies in the wine shop, but after he had been turned out of it, which may account for much of the sparkle and exuberance in the many humor- ous and jovial strains for which the “Swan of Pesaro” is responsible. But we need not look away from home. Cathedral singing men are proverbially thirsty souls—as many a city's tavern could testify; and there is \ probably not a London church choir which has not its “house.” The “profession” generally, too, is prone to retreshments—more often liquid in nature than solid, and few con- certs “are planned without taking into ac- count “something for the singers”—in respect to which item it is only necessary to remark that if those performing acquit themselves as satisfactorily musically as they do. physically the result must be highly gratifying to the entreprenewr or concert-giver. The union is, indeed, hard to disconnect and difficult to ac- count for. Were it apparent in the case of singers only it would not be so strange, and a | dry throat might be the apology for frequent | moistenings; but musical theorists—that genus which gives itself up to the solving of harmo- nious myths‘%und mazes of their own creation, and to t! merida | of contrapuntal networks by others—these all drink, some folks say, “like fishes.” And some “jolly” good fellows are found among instrumentalists—ineluding performers upon such as the pianoforte, or- gan, and violin—and the playing of these ca not surely make one abnormally dry! Here is ample ground, indeed, for the paychologist philosopher * A well-known physician of this city, finding himself rather “out of sorts,” determined to consult some of his medical bréthren on the subject, for few physicians like to trust them- selves with themselves. He accordingly called upon five eminent members of the faculty in succession, and it is a itive fact that each one of them gave a different opinion as to the nature of his disorder and recommended a different mode of treatment. It is his own be- lief that they were all wrong.—New York “Ahr ened Haff: over his little counter, “here I have stuck to = ee little erneery business until my ir wing gray, andI see no chance o ever being better oft” “Why don’t FaS moye down into Alabama or Mississippi?” asked the man by the raisin- bo: here are no shop-keepers there—they are ali ‘prominent merchants,’” und, as he leaned In the “V”-shaj corsage of evenil dresses e! ES Lipa (onl nn Ay fer the capital letter.—Cham i Wife tulantly).— “Such last night, and I didn’t dare once; and there Abe Smith Fires His Revolver at Mr. and MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MURDER. Mrs. Stewart, Wounding the Woman. The police are scouring the city in their search for Abe Smith, a colored who is wanted for the murder of Samuel Stewart and his wife, Stewart keeps a saloon at Rhode Island avenue and 10th street, Last night shortly after 7 o'clock Smith went into Stewart's saloon and. attempted: to take forcible possession, drawing ie :targe knife, which he used in his effort to-intimidate the proprietor. The latter did not scare so easily, but walked from behind the bar and closed the door be- hind Smith. Stewart anticipated no further trouble because he thought that Smith's actions were the result of liquor, but Smith was of a different opinion. He went off and returned half an hour later armed with a loaded revolver. He, no doubt, intended to murder ig - ey for, — - rinses of warning, he leveled the respon a ani fired. The latter di the bullet and dropped behind the bar, Smith was bent on killirg some one, so he fired one shot at Mra. Stewar , who was stand- ing in the doorway near th> end of the bar. The woman fell to the flocr, but not quick enough to escape the bullet. She received the shot in her leg above the knée. Her husband, who had r.covered from the excitement of the first shot grabbed his pistol and sent a bullet after the vscaping negro, but it did not take effect. Mrs, ittewart was picked up and carried to her bedrooia, where she was attended by Drs. Leach and Povle. The wound isan exceedingly “reer one, but the physi- cians do not think that it will prove fatal. Smith succeeded in making his escape, and had not been arrested this morning. He is well known to the Paice. having served in the penitentiary for bein implicated in a highway robbery on North Capitol street several years He was at that time a companion of the notoriou: ‘ash” Meredith, who, some months ago, was killed in a fight in Baltimore. SLA Sin ork a Tue Wasntnoton Lica Ixrantry.—A meet- ing of the Washington Light Infantry Corps was held last night and nearly every inember of the organization was present, Coil. Moore had requested a full attendance, so that the proposed trip to New York, April 30, might be discussed. “If less than one hunered men promise to go,” said the colonel, “the corps will not participate in the New York celebra- tion.” "Those who could make the necessary arrangements were requested to notify their respective captains as soon as possible.

Sydney Pullman, held by Justice ‘Triplett on the charge of seducing Miss Ander- son, Was heard by Judge Stuart yesterday after- noon. Miss Anderson had testified on the hearing that the seduction was accomplished in Washington, and Judge Stuart holding that a seduction outside the state limits is not an offense against the state laws, released the Witnesses Examined by the Taulbee Committee To-day. is morning, Messrs. Taulbee, Beker, and Rowell, of the committee, were present. The Commissioners and Mr. Cox were early on hand. Mr. Davis, the assistant attorney for the District, was not announced that Mr. Davis, who was detained by sickness, had requested him to represent the Commissioners’ interest as well as Mr. Cox's, SALE OF THE CARBERRY SCHOOL SITE. Mr. Thomas W. Smith, the lumber dealer, was first called as a witness, and he was exam- ined by Mr. Taulbee. Mr. Smith was asked re- garding the sale of the Carberry school site on 5th street, between D and E northeast, in which Mr. Smith owned a part interest. He said he received a telephone message one day from Mr. Jas. H. Marr, who owned a half interest, stating that he w2s about to close a sale with ® person who claimed to be an agent of the District at the price at which they held the property—20 cents a foot. Mr. Marr asked if ¢ witness would agree to the sale and witness replied in the affirmative. The witness said he actually received only 45 cents foot, the re- maining 5 cents a foot going, as the witness supposed, as 4 COMMISSION TO SOMEBODY. Witness understood that the property was being sold to the District for a school site at the time, but had no objection to it. He did not think it injured adjoining property. He did not know much about the transaction, as Mr, Marr conducted it with Mr. Cox, who rep- resented the District. They were perfectly sfied with the price they actually received, 45 cents a foot. He would not have hesitated to have sold it to the Commissioners for a school house for 45 centsa foot. He thought that was a fair price considering that cash was paid. If it had been sold on time he would have expected 50 cents a foot. On examination by other members of the committee the witness said he ind it con- venient to employ agents in business. He thought the price paid by the District, 50 cents a foot, was fair. He had subsequently sold other property he owned in the neighborhood to his partner at 45 cents a foot. He did not, he said, see the man to whom they sold the property as agent of the District. He thought the usual commission for selling real estate was 2 or 3 percent. On examination by Mr. Payne, counsel for Mr. Cox, said he endeavored to repurchase at 50 cents one of the lots he had soid, because a neighbor who was anxious to get it had offered him 50 cents. There was not, he said. much difference in a cash or time sale, in view of the condition of the money market, It might amount. he said, to 144 or 2 per cent. ME. JAMES H. MARR EXAMINED. Mr. James H. Marr, the real estate agent, was next called, He was a part owner of the Carberry site and made the sale. He said that he sold the property to the Commissioners at 50 cents afoot and he charged a commission. He said he had sent the Commissioners a written proposition to sell the property at 50 cents a foot. Witness said he thought he first met Mr. Cox on the street, but he could not remember whether he or Mr. Cox first spoke of the tubject of school sites, He after- ward, he thought. went to Mr. Cox's office and Mr. Cox then came to his office. The price agreed on was 50 centsa foot. Witness did not remember what commission he paid Mr. Cox. He thought he gave him $400 or $500. The price paid was $6,456. He said that the usual commissions as fixed by the auctioneers was 5 per cent on the first €200,3 per cent on the next $2,000, and 1 per cent for amounts over that. Still this was not recognized as a rule. COULD AFFORD TO PAY A BIG COMMISSION, would not have paid such a commission. The witness did not consider that he was trying to induce Mr. Cox to_sell the property to the Commissioners. He did not consider Mr. Cox as the representative of the Commissioners, Wit- ness said he thought Mr. Coxstated to him that the Commissioners could pay no commission and what he received he would have to get from the person selling the gen oy, When asked by Mr. Baker what he thought of the price received for the property, he said he did not think 50 cents a foot an extravagant price. when property was sold for school pure poses, as pel herring to thought, injured ad- joining property. He thought the price rea- sonable ‘itness had no recollection of hav- ing offered the property for sale during the preceding year at 375¢ cents a foot. He did not believe he would remember it. Part of the consideration in this sale was that the owners should grade the lot. WAITING FOR WITNESSES. Mr. Taulbee called for Mr. H. A. Willard and Mr. J. V. N. Huyck, but neither of these gentlemen were present. Mr. Taulbee said he thought these two were the only witnesses he cared to examine. The committee took a re- cess while waiting to hear from the two wit- nesses wanted. MR, HENRY A. WILLARD A WITNESS. Mr. Heury A. Willard arrived about 12:95 o'clock. The committee immediately resumed business. Mr. Willard was examined by Mr. Taulbee. Mr. Willard sold to the District in October last the site on Ist, between B and C streets southwest, for a public school. He_ testified that he received a letter while at Nantucket from Mr. John F. Cox asking wituess if he would take 50 cents a foot. Witness wrote to his son stat- ing that he was not anxions to sell the lots, Subsequently he informed Mr. Cox that he would sell the property if he could realize 75 centsa foot. Mr. Cox informed the witness that the purchase was for the Commissioners, He was satisfied with 75 cents a foot. That was all he asked and all he _ got. The witness thought that the transaction was fair. He gave Mr. Cox bis personal check for the difference between 75 cents a foot and the price paid by the District, 80 centa. He gave Lime cheek for $596. Mr. Cox, he said, got the witness’ price and he was satisfied to have him make the balance. “Did you understand.” said Mr. Taulbee, “that Mr. Cox was acting for the Commis- ne ‘That was my impression,” said the witness, “I so understood at the time.” 75 CENTS A Foor.

In poli- tics it was known as the great unterrified and Unconquerable “Tenth Legion” of democracy. Even as late as ten or twelve years ago it could be safely relied upon to roll up large majori- ties for the candidates of that party as it wae wont to do for the old war-horses of democracy, Gov. Henry A. Wise and “Honest” John Letcher. That these majorities are now no longer to be depended upon, in fact have in this as well as in other portions of the state greatly deterioated, the question naturally arises, why is itso? The original “Tenth Le- gion” comprised Page, Rockingham and Shen- andoah counties, and could formerly furnish any democratic majority desired, it being only ecessary toenthuse the voters and get them out to the polls, In the last election Page gave 136 and Rockingham 426 republican, while Shenandoah gave 53 democratic wa- jority. WHY PARTY LINES aR CRAXGrNa. What is the cause of it? Looking at it from an entirely independent view it must be from one of two things, the preponderance of immi- grants in the republican way of thinking or the result of the determined fight the republican party made in the last election, aud has be making for years, for the Principles of protec- tion, Capitalists with their following are pour- ing in from all directions, investing in enter- Prises of various kinds and building up the country more rapidly than ever before. The larger portion of these are from northern sec~ tions, and largely from localities of republican tendencies. It is a peculiar fact, however, worth noting, that a large element of the re- publican party of this section is com of ex-confederate soldiers. It is probable that in the three countries named more than one thousand men who, twenty: ago. marched under Stonewall Jackson.are now staunch republicans, In 1884 five hundred in this county (Rockingham) alone, headed by Capt. John H. Ralston, signed an invitation to the late Gen. John A. Logan to deliver a series of addresses in the valley. CABINET APPOINTMEETS ATTRACTING ATTENTION, The probable composition of Gen. Harrison cabinet is attracting attention here just now, and for Gen. Harrison there seems to be & spe- cially kindly feeling on account of his Virginia ancestry, and there is a universal desire to sea his administration a brilliant and successful one. or seven years THE GUBERNATORIAL OUTLOOK. Candidates for the nomination for governor, though it isalong way ahead, are plentiful, There are several men among the republicans deeply interested in the signs of the times, and the democrats have two aspirants from this place, namely, Hon, John I. Harris. an ex- member, and Representative C. T. O’Ferrall. Both have their friends and admirers, The more enthusiastic and extreme partisans, a rule, prefer O'Ferrall; the conservative and re- fiecting element seem to favor Judge Harris, The republicans, it is believed, would rather see Col. O'Ferrall get the nomination, as they think he could be beaten more easily. Yet the general impression here is that neither one of them will get the nomination. There appears to be aquict undercurrent crystallizing iu favor of Capt. Phil McKinney, of Farmville, But there is plenty of time yet to bloom out a dozen more. It is said that in case he does not get a cal net appointment Gen. Mahone will expect the republican nomination for governor; bee that ‘diy probable. Col, Wm. Lamb, of Nor- iD man Bowen, of Tazewell, is also mentioned. There will be plenty of aspirants on both sides and the fight will not be anything like child's play. ye ————.__ The Evening Papers. From an Address by W. F. ¢ (01 y ‘sin Prese Amaciation, Sauusey sa" CO Yet, after all s perfectly fair analysis can suggest on behalf of the morning papers, this remains true—more true now than ten years ago, and to be still trner ten years hence than now—to wit: That the afternoon paper is fast becoming the news paper. It first announces most of the world’s great hi nings. givin essential facta. ‘The afternoon issue t today's paper, bearing to-day’s nows; the morning issue a chronicle of yesterday in the nature of things. In the office work of bare newagiving, the two issues are changing places. The degree of the change coincides with the growing rapidity of news communication. The time between a given pening any= where and its announcement to the newspaper reader has been almost miraculously shortened, The fact of General Harrison's nomination, for an example, was known on the editorial fioor of the New York Trilune before it had reached the ears of the gate-keepers within the walls of the Chicago anditorium. Distance and time are almost literally annihilated by our present marvelous system of news-gathering and delivery. By all the improved appliances here barely indicated the evening paper has been chictiy the gainer. Itsneed of time in which to do its work is lessened constantly by new facilities: supplied; while its grant of time is lengthened by the ificent speed of the perfecting press, which virtually stretches ont the hours of the closing day until the news field of the world has been swept clean and spent of news pending the coming of another day witn fresh activities, By the time the first-class, well- equipped evening newspaper has ceased its news-giving the world of men has, for the most part, e quiescent and ceased ite news-making. But pe the most important advantage pos- sessed by the evening over the morning paper remains to be stated: It is the advantage of coming damp from the presses and into the homes at the one hour in all the twenty-four when the millions for whom newspapers are made are ready for its perusal. We are a na- tion of workers. Our vocations absorb th allotted work time of each day. Recreation comes after, not before, the daily-recurring duty of bread-winning. And to read the daily paper—that is one of the recreations of the man who toils. ‘Naturally he desires that its WOULD HAVE SOLD TO THE COMMISSIONERS For | Coming shall be timed to the coming of his re- creation iod.
