It has been generally under | stgod, and it was so stated by Mr. O’Ferrall i his speech yesterday afternoun, that at a cou: ference of the democrats of the committee after the case had been fully considered they were unanimously of the opinion that My, Noyes, the repnbiican, was entitled to the seat, Afterward two of the ‘democrats changed their position and submitted a minority report favor. ing Mr. Rockwell, and as the case approached a conclusion im the House certain other demo- crate of the committee began to ns of logs of interest in sustaining their own report, INTERFERENCE OF MR. TILL. This state of affairs, it is alleged, was due to the interference of Mr. Hill and the injection by him of presidential politics imto the case. It is alleged that he used all sorts of political inhorne er intune Sanreuneee the commit- tee to change their judgment of the case, and ere was an excited controversy betwoen the jew York Senator and Mr. O'Ferrall at a meet- ing between them at which Mr. Hill tried to get the chairman of the committee to change bis position. A full account of this meeting between the two men was given in Tae Stan at Gerstood that great political proxmnre was bo- to induce them to overturn the action of the committee, and the final conclusion is regarded a8 a complete revereal of the sentiment of the House at the time the report was made from the committee. ‘The closing argument by Mr. O'Ferrall in defense of the committee report, which oc- curred after Tz Stan had gone to press, was one of the best speeches the Virginia erator bas made in the Mouse, and there were significant featares which gave it particular i terest and caused considerable commotion m the House. Just before his speech Mr. Cockran had mado & speech remarkable for eloquence. tracted great attention and excited applat but was more of « political address than an argument on the case and was fuli of personal allusions to Mr. O’Ferrall. mr. On opening Mr. O’Forrall said he hoped that acalm would succeed to tho hurricane which had just passed over the House. The speech of the gentleman from New York reminded him of a tittle story. A belated traveler was journeying over a country road in the midst of astorm. His horse he guided by the flare of the lightning. But although the storta was a fierce one the flashes were infroquont, while the peals of thunder were incessant. Finally the wayfarer sent up the invocation: “Oh, Lord! if it is just the same to you, I would like to have a little more light and not quite so much noise.” [Long continued laughter. | He said that Mr. Cockran always liked to ap- pear independent, and that he was aiw: mg when he w. dent Referring ificantly to the peculiar interest suddenly aroused in Mr. Rockwell's behalf, he said that since this cuse had come up gentlemen with whom he had been on intimate relations had beeu evol and offish with him. Why? Because he had dared to do what was right. What was there about this case to place it on a pin- nacle so high? Why were the waters lashed It would seem that some great political whale Was exerting its mighty inflaence and power. [Laughter.} He was a partisan, but he was not enough of « partisan to turn his bead and re- fuse tose the right. Nor did he belong to ‘Lat small class of democrats who would act on unwarrantabie assumptions and perverted fects im order to retain @ democrat on the joor. THE OUTSIDE INFLUEXCE. Referring again to the outside influence, he said that there was a little secret history in re- gard to this case. [As Mr. O'Ferrall uttered these words the interest instantly became in- tense.] He would not have referred to it were it not for the speech mude yesterday by the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Allen). In that speech tho gentleman had stated that a majority of the democrats on the committee on clections was in favor of seating Bock- well He (Mr. O'Ferrail) hed arisen and denied that statement, He stood here now to deny it, unless gentlemen on the committee had changed their opinions since they had expressed those opinions to him. He would, wot do. an injustice to o human being, mueh less to his worthy colleagues on the com: mittee, because they were all his personal friends. ‘They were so when the committee Was organized; they were so now, and he hoped that they would remain so. They would bear him out in the statement that he had been assailed by a pro bouo publico gentleman, who had criticised his democracy. He did not have to go around im his country we on the lapel of bis coat a label with the words, “I ama democrat.” (Applause, laughter, cheers and great confusion. } A TRIBUTE TO GROVER CLEVELAND. He had heard all sorts of charges made against himself in connection with this report, but were it not for the remarks of the gentle- man from Mississippi he would not refer to th on tins floor. It had been charged that he was warped in his judgment because he preferred a certain gentleman for the noxt atic nomination for President. He supposed that as an American citizen he had the right to exer- cise the privilege of expressing hischoice. His choice was fixed. Everybody who knew his convictions knew what his choice was, And yet he was to be assailed and criticised because he preferred a certain distinguished gentleman for the next democratic nomination. It was true. He did prefer a certain gentleman. He preferred a great big max, [Laughter and wp- ause.) He preferred a man who was a lion d not a fox. [Cheers and sensation. } He preferred 4 man who stood out before the country, head and shoulders above every other living democrat of this age. A man who kuew no north, no south, no cast, no west; a man who knew one people; aman whose home was the United States—the magnificent and grand Grover Cieveland of the state of New York. [Great applause. } THE PEOPLE AGAINST TROLLEY. Objections in Philadelphia to the Introdue- tion of the System in the City Streets. In continuation of the people's fight against the trolley system a largely attended mass meeting wes held in the eighth ward of Phila- delphia last night at which well-known citizens uttered protests against the introduction into the city of a provincial and rous system of transit aswell as against the control ob- tained by the Traction Company over the city councils, The chairman of the meeting, Mr. Morton P. Henry, in his opening a ‘de- clared that the sentiment of the people would be triumphant and the “trolley monster” be given a death blow. A resolution was adopted that as “The ‘a tion of passenger railways by the overhead electric trolley system: has been found in closely built-up and thickly populated locali- ties to be dangerous alike to life, lamb and property, wo hereby express and reiterate our decided und unyielding opposition to any consent being given by the councils of the city to the use of the streets by passenger railway companies for the erection of poles and run- niug wires and propulsion of cars by the over- head trolley electric system.” Col. Wendell P. Bowman, in a speech to the meeting, said: “It is most proper that our Lomes should be represented here in the strongest manner. It is a provincial system which no great city should adopt. You will find it in outlying districts, in country towns, in watering places and the like, bat it has never been permitted to be introduced into 4 city of the size of Philadelphia. Why shoul we allow it here? Here, a city of homes? Why should we receive this hydra-headed monster with hundreds of deadiy wires in the heart of the city?” Stephen Farrely,one of the speakers, said: “Why should Philadeiphia submit to the worst of all means of rapid transit, the trolley? I have been exasperated at the way our ¢itizens tion, ““{ was on the ear in Atlantie City when the nd the passeagers flew in terror Another was blown the Adjournment, ‘The managers of the House are greatly dis | Sf "pe “lewitimate: weky Way / during his sa] ‘tarbed at the indolent and in which the House enters into discussion of important mations which are browght up for consideration, The Howse hae disposed of a arent deal of business, and the committee work on the appropriation bill haw been rapid, so What HowEht to be Fry enay to dispose of everything o8 hand in time for ndjournment Wat later than the let ot July, But the trouble ariwos WHER MeasUFE® Aro brought bofore the Howes, Mubjoote upon which discussion should 1H the opinion of the managers be disposed of WW afew hours are allowed to occupy the at- fenton of the House almost interminably where @ single day would be sufficient to dis- of the measure, the debate is allowed to 4 oH without check or hindrance and appar- tly without purpose for two or three or four and there does not scem to be any one on Whe tloor to hold itin check or to bring the mattor to a conclusion at the proper time. ‘The discussion of all the appropriation bills has been more protracted than heretofore, with- out any special reason for it, except the want of some one to bring the matter to an end.

The session during the sum- mer months will afford a good opportunity for the manufacture of campaign materiai by both Lsdrarl according to the usual custom in pres lential years, ‘Those in chargo of the appr: priatious on the Senate vide express the opin- ton today that it will be Juiy before the Senate really gets to work on the heavy money bills, and that inal adjournment will not be likely to come before September.

Cleveland's is a pure cream of tartar and soda mixture, not containing alum or ammonia or any other substance deleterious to the human stomach. Cakes, muffins, biscuits, &c., in which Cleveland’s Baking Powder is used, keep better. . A like quantity of Cleveland's Baking Powder goes further and does better work than any other of which I have knowledge, It is therefore cheaper. Pompton, N. J.

A neglected catarrh of the head specdily extends itself to the throat, from the throat the irritation is carried on- ward and downward toward the bronchial tubes, and once arrived there none can tell when tubercles may form or how soon bron- chitis may end in consumption. These per- nicious results take place 90 frequently that thefhichest medical authorities of the day agree in considering catarrh as one of the chief and most frequent causes of consump- tion. Some contend that it hes « powerfal tendency to rouse into fatal activity any Iatent Predisposition which may lurk in the system favorable to the development of tubercular discase, while others regard catarrh in itself as the very first manifestation of consumption, All sides admit that a diseased condition of the masal passages and throat seriously impairs the functions of the jungs and ultimately lays the foundation to pulmonary troubles, and my own experience fully confirms these views, Aside from its irritating effects upon the Tangs, catarrh exercises a depressing, debilitat- ing and enervating effect upon the entire sys- tem, under the continued influence of which the strongest constitution will in time brenk down. The patient ie unable to endure, resist or defy the changes of the weather and tem- perature, and other unfavorable influences, and thus one by one the vital powers give way. The mucous membrane becomes morbidly Sensitive, and, in spite of the utmost care, be- comes affected from the slightest causes, 60 that at last even a breath of wind upon the lining of the nose or throat becomes productive of « cold and gives rise to seri- ous disturbances of the respiratory or- ans, Thus the patient is subject to fre- quent and repeated colds, each one agera- vating the disease by giving ita new impulse and attacking a larger extent of surface than its predecessor. In this manner catarrh spreads from organ to organ, invading the throat and and further, it finally reaches the lungs and ends in consumption. This lamentable result takes place so frequently that it exhibits in a most forcible manner the great importance of attending to the catarrhal disease while it is yet confined to the nasal cavities and throst To disregard this warning is to invite the fatal inroads of the most deadly scourge known to the human race, For over thirty years I have devoted my exclusive attention to the careful study and scientific investigation of catarrh and diseases of the respiratory organs, and have succeeded in formulating a system of treatment which is absolutely painless, prompt in its action and Positively curative in its effects, From the first application great benefit is experienced, which continues from day to day until a final Hours from 6 to 12 and 4 to @ Cu Consultation free, GOLD MEDAL, PARIS, 1878.
