Mr. Cullom then stated that while e would liKke to have the discussion of the inter-state commerce bill continued to-day, he was in formed by four senators who desired to speak upon it that they were not prepared to co on toeday., e therefore proposed that the senate would go to other business, He wished it understood, however, that tnediately after the morning business on Monday Jie would ask the senate to pro. ceed with the inter-state commerce bill and would on Wednesday sk the senate to re- miain in session until the bill was disposed of Mr. Manderson, from the committee on military aifairs, reported back the house bill providing for a school of instruction for cav alry and light artillery at Fort Riley, Kansas, and for the completion and consfruction of quarters for the army at certain posts, “Ihe Bill was amended by appropriating 310,000 for Fort 1.

WASHINGTON, Jan. T.—The lunuacy pro- ceedings instituted by Professor Emmons against Weltha A. Emmons, his wife, wer continued in the old_cireuit cowt room to- day. The examination of Mrs. Decormis, who was Mrs, Emimons’ traveling companion during her recent trip to Europe, was con- cluded without eliciting anything of partienlar importance beyond a detailed recital of Mrs, Emmons’ eceentricitles. The tirst witness was Dr. Walter Kempster, who testified that he had made a_speelalty of nervous disorders and insanity., He Tirst met Mrs. KEmmor in 1585, He asked her a great many ques tions, but eer answers were wandering and often irrelevant. Witness contimued his visits up to March 2, 185, and found that Mrs. Emmons had a° number of delusions. Once she told him she was very susplcions. He made some remark with regard 1o her loneliness, when sha declared that she was not afraid, because she had a dagger which, when warm, was deadly, but when eold inert. ‘This dagger she showed him, and it proved to be a shawl pin. She said 'she had accidentully pricked her cheek with this dag- ger. and knowing that it was poisoned she took onions and milk as an antidote, and recommended the same to him, i Atter referring to many other cecentricitios on the part of Mis. Emnions, including her refusal to cat on account of her suspicion that all her food was poisoned, Dr. Kemp- ster testified he advised that she be'taken to some institution where she would be properly treated, - Mississippi Commission Criticisms, WasixGron, Jan, 7.—The cretary of war to-day transmitted to congress a com- munieation from the Mississippi river com- mission submitting remarks upon the re- quirements of the river and harbor act of August 5, 1586, “that no works of bank pro- tection or revetment shall be executed any- where on the Mississippi river until after it shall be found that the completion of the permeable contracting works will not sceure the desired stability of river banks.” The communication savs this requirement is based on the totally unrecognized theory that the river, if onee regulated, will n sconr its natoral banks. Onthis general ob- seryation, as apolied to the Mississippi, it says: “In the opinion of the commission, the idea that the Mississippt river can he per: manently improved by contraction works alone is surely visionary and theoretical, con- tradicted by experience and not supported by any good authority. To adopt such a system is,”in_the opinion of the commission, to waste public moncy.” - rtifications, Rivers and Harbors, WasmixGron, Jan. A letter was sent to the house to-day by the seeretary of war from the ehief of enginecrs, with o copy of the report of the board of engincers for forti- fieations and for river and harbor improve- ments upon the examinations and surveys of the Wisconsin river from Portage to its mouth, giving the results of the investiga- tions that have been made to determine the practicability of sceuring a sufficient low water navizable depth in that river by a con- traction of the works in its bed, with other pavers on the same subject. The opinion of the board is in brief that the results of the in- vestigations are decisive against this mode of improvewent as applied to the Wiscousin river, and in consequence it recommends that 1o more woney be expended upon dikes and wing dams in ihe bed of the river, —— Benedict Before the ¢ Nittee, WasuinGToN, Jan, T.—The senate com- mittee on printing, it is said, began this worning the study of certain problems in- volved in the nomination of Benedict to be public priuter and Benedict hinself was be- fore the committee for examivation, No conclusion was reachied and another meeting 15 to be Leld during the week, It is under- stood th are no formulated eharges against the nominee, but there are people who claim he is not a pratical printeror bookbinder and and in these respects does not meet the re- quireuients of the law governing an appoint ment to this oflice, S Nominations By the Fresident.

NOTICE OF CONTEST FILED A Rl Introduced For the Disposition of Public Lands Withdrawn From Entry and Sale—National Capital News, malls Will Contest the Seat. Wasninaroy, Jan. 7.—[Special egram o (he B, )—Congressman hias filed his notice of contest of the ¢ of Colon who has been given the seat Smalls bas held in con lo The district was made for the purpose of con- solidating the colored vote of South Carolina and iscomposed, like the notorious shoestring district of Mississippl, of the counties of the state in which the blacks ontuumber the whites. Until the last election no democrat ever thought of running against Smalls in a distiict where there were over 50,000 biack votes, and only 2,000 or #,000 whites, and his majority has usually beeh abont 25,000, This time, however, it was determined to make the delegation trom South Carolina solidly democratic, and from the cvidence which Smalls presented they went about it in a masterly manner, I election commis- sioncr of the state designated only about one- third of the usual number of voting places and arranged them so irregularly through the district that some people had to go over thirty miles to vote. Iustead of hav- ing a ballot box every town there would be two in one place and none in the next. In this arrangement also, there was a deliberate attempt to pre vent the negroes voting by appointing the volling places in some out of the way corner which was not sufliciently described in the proclaimation and which the negroes couid not find. In almost every instance a differ- ent location was selected from that where they were accustomed to go to vote, and hundreds of negroes who had seen no notiee of the change zathered at the old places and witited all day for the polls to open, many of them thinkine that they must have made a mistake and come to vote on the wrong day. ‘The notices had been published in papers of limited cireulation and those which the blacks were not accustoned to read. 1t is claimed that not one in ten of the regular voting pop- ulation were polled for this reason and in precinets where such deception could not be practiced even worse methods were adopted. The eleetion *ecommissioner appointed two white and one colored judge in some of the precinets, but in others the tees were all whito democrats Where it was seen that the democratie vote was in execss of that of the republicans the jndees would stay at the polls and count the ballots. Where the blacks came out in_ foreo and voted for Smalls the trick was for the two demacratic judzes to become suddenly il or to be sent for from their homes in great haste or to use any other exeuse to leave the polls in charge of the one republican judge, which would of conrse invalidate the election, and the whole vote would be thrown out. 1nthis way the democrats managed td count the vote for Smalls from 25,000, as itusually is, to between 3,000 and 4,000, and to return Colonel Elliott, the demoeratic’ candidate, by several hundred majority, Many of the democratic newspapers'in South Carolina, as well as leading democrats, have denounced the frauds” and demanded that the certificate should be given to Smalls, but Colonel Eiliott comes from the tip top of 'the aristocraey and wanted a seat in congress. Itis not thonght that the democrats in the house will allow him to retain it, however, because of the effect it would have on the next presidential clee- tion, UBLIC LANDS WITHDRAWN FROM ENTRY. Representative Holmes, of lowa, intends tointroduce in the housé a bill presented by eneral Rosecrans in the Iast eongress, pro- iding for the disposition of public lands withdrawn from entry and sale under authority of law, and to determine claims respecting them ' in’ certain cases, It pro- vides that all reserves of public lands from tne operation of the general land laws made ) salisfy any grant to any person, corpo tion or staté, upon fultillinent of any speci- fied conditions’ within a fixed time™ which shall not have been earned by complianee with such conditions within the specified time shall ipso facto revert to the publie do- main and be subject to the general land laws Sif mever reserved.

Jersey Central was the leader, and 1ts rapid advance of 315 per cent early in the day started all sorts of stories in rexard to it. It was elaimed that the Baltimore & Ohio had seeured control of the property, and that an understanding had been reached between Garrett and Gould providing for a settlement of the telegraph trouble: It was thought, however, that the principal reason for the advance in Jerscy Central was the discovery ot alarge short interest in it Other ecoal stocks did not sympathize with Jersey Cen- tral, but held about steady.

Men may have been miszuided and gone wrong in the past, but whatever may be a man’s history, it he is to-day, and means to be n the future, a true devoted friend of the union, that in the union is a part of his heri- taze. Thurman spoke of the rapid growth of the country and said at the present ra of increase another hundred years would sce, if the wiion lasts, 200,000,000 more people liere under one governinent than mow inhabits the whoie continent of Europe. To main so vast a union requires a degree of wisdom, knowl- edge and patriotism that has never yet been displayed in the good of mankind, " 1 think that the democratic party is the natural party of free institution and ‘that 1t will be inde- struetible as long as freedoin exists in Amer- Al 1 can do in concluding my remarks is to conjure yon to deep and unfaltermg law - of institutions, to inculeate this love ds of your children and never, under any cireumstances, however appaliing, to the despair of the republic, Hon.
