July 23.—[Special Tele n this mo! mination. A small box, eighteen inches long and ten by eleven inches square, open at both ends and thoroughly soaked inside, was lowered to the boards that were protecting him. When a hole was made large enough the box was slipped through. At 10 o'clock 8 m., Anderson, after pulling off all his * clothes, tied a rope around under his arms, and holding his hands straizht above bhis head, was pulled through the box and finally released from his prison. Before being raised te the open air his clothes were put on and stimulants were administered After reaching the top of the ground he was carried to the house, although he asked to be allowed to walk, and placed under the carc of Drs. of Johnstown, and Remey, of Amsworth, The doctors report him doing well and are confident that he will 800n be restored to Leaith, Although showing the effcets of his unfor- tunate accident he does not look so emadiated s was expected, After Anderson was taken into the house the crowd gave three cheers for Henry Archer and Georze Campbell, the men who took him from the well. These men were so overcome with fatigue and joy that when the crowd began congratulating them they wept like children, There is a feeling of relief and joy through- out the whole community. So intense has been the excitement and sympathy for the unfortunate man that business of all kinds Farleign, has been very much neglected. Farmers left their fields, merchants their stores and flocked to the scene of the accident, of- foring to lend a helping hand. The wonen have shown their willingness 1o help also by cooking and sending food to the workers. Although tho rescuing party did all in thewr power, Anderson mever would have ‘been saved but for his own efforts. He planned and directed the last two days of labor and all the while ho was imprisoned never was heard to utter 8 complaint, In three days after the man was entombed every one was so confident that he was dead that the coroner was summoned, a coffin brought to the well, and the Odd Fellows »' mmade preparations 1o bury him. The principal ones of the rescuing party ‘ are Henry Archer, George Campbell, Goorge Johnson, John Williams, James War- ren and Samuel Pearson, although there ' were many other willing workers.

He said My friends, your spokesman has not ex- agerated the fidelity and ste tness of the people of your county, You have said that you arein favor of a free and equal ballot. We are so related in our government that disturbance of the suffrage anywhere di rectly affects all. If a debate upon the pub- lic question is to be of value, the voter must d register his conclusions, You id th you favor the doc trine of protection.

Attempts have been made to use this surplus as a lever to overthrow the protective sys- tem, The promoters of this scheme, while professing a desire to diminish the surplus, have acted as if their purpose was to incre it in part by opposing mecessary legitimate appropriations, There is danger that a surplus may promote extravigance, but T am not in sympathy with that policy that denies the appropriation ne essary for a proper defense of our people and a convenicnt administration of public affairs th country, in order that the threat of a surplus may beused for asinister purpose. I believe that in reducing the rev- enues to the level of needful expenditures, we can and should continue to favor and pro- tect our own industrics. 1 do notlike to trust this work to those who declare protebt- ive duties to be a vicious and “legalized rob- bery,” The republics rty has by its legislation shown 1its capacity wisely to re- duce our revenues and at the same time to preserve the Amorican system.

House WasniNaTox, July 25.—The house took up the bill providing for the erection of postoffice buildings, but the morning hour expired without any action being taken, The house then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Svringer of Illinois in the chair, on the gen- eral appropriation bills. The general de- ficiency bill was first reached, and after some debate was taken up. The house then went into committee of the whole on the general appropriation bills, and aclash mstantly occurred between various bills on the calendar, The general deficiency bill was the first reached, and Mr. Sayers of Texas objected to the request made by Mr. Townsend of Illinois, that it be laid aside in the interest of the army appropriation bill with the senate amendments. The fact was reported to the house, which, after a yain at- tempt to secure a quorum, directed the com- i v I‘AA}Vlflw of 72to0 61, to consider the v bill. Mr. Voorhees of Washington Territory, in behalf of over two hundred thousand di franchised citizens of the republic, advo- cated the admission of Washington Territory iato the union, If the democratic party in the past, now, or hearcafter, should be re- sponsible for depriving the people whom he represented of the privilege of living under @ coustitutional form of government, he would take as much pleasure in denouncing the democratic party as he would in de- nouncing the republican party. Confronted by the majestic presence of American citi- zenship, mere poiitical considerations grew mean and small. He addressed himself to this question, not as s a democrat but as an American citizen. Mr. Symes of Colorado said that if the gentleman from Washington could influence eight or ten democrats he could get the bill through to-morrow for the admission of that territory. Not a republican would do any- thing but urge the admission of that pros- perous snd great territory. Mr. Payson of Illinois said that the demo- cratic party, in its platform of principles whicn it professed, for this year, had cred- ited itself with naving reversed the unwise policy of the republican party touching the granting of land to railroads. The policy of granting lands to states to aid in the con- struction of railroads was initiated in 1850 by the pussage of a bill making a grant in aid of the Illinois Central railroad, 2,005,000 acres of public land being granted in that bill, ‘The bill was passed by a democratic congress and signed by a democratic president, and all the constitutional questions connceted with this policy were debated by the greatest men then in public hife, In June, 1852, a grant of nearly two million acres was made to Mis- souri in aid of the Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad. In 1553 a grant of more than one million acres was made to Arkansas, and in 1856 and 1857 grants were made to lowa, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mississippi and Minnesota, Thus the policy was defi- nitely stated, and by democratic congresses. The members of those congresses did not consider that thero was any party question involved in the polic; All these measures had the support of gentlemen of all parties, and their votes were controlled by motives of expediency and fi in each particulir case. Before the republican party came into power grants had been made o stutes to aid in the construction of forty-seven railroads. But it was charged that the republican party had changed its policy, and, instead of grant- ing lands to states, granted them to rail- roads direct. This was a mere pretense, and besides, it was not correct. Every one of the grants made directly to corporations was made to one of the trans-continental cases. The line must be continuous and the management barmonious. Congress had to create _a corporation and give ald to it without state or territorial interference. There had been a grave necessity for a railroad to California, 1 order Lo mind her to the Union Pacific, and meusures hiad been advocated by both pa ties, Tho rge that the repuolican party was to %o tlvnoad for the aid given to rail road compazics was as unfounded in fact as it was absvrd und foolish in utterance. Par- tisan poiitics had never been regarded as 8 facter in the consideration of these i vres, the merabers dividing, not on political, but on econoric questions. He read a list of nocrats voting for and republicans voting against the Pacitic railroad measures of 1563 \d 1854, and dec'sred that they were all ac- ted, not by party, but by patriotic im- and he thought that this roll call onght 1o dispose of &l this talk about party responsibility for the Union ~ and Central Pacific project. The North ern Pacific granting act had ! tod for in the house by both demo- ‘b::tn- and republicans, and iu the senate has wassed without division. The Atlantic & Pacific and T Paeifio granting acts bad heen passed by non-partisan majorities. On # review of the record no man could honestly say that auy party capital could be made out of this question, one Way or tho other. Mr. Paysol tiroed hia atvention to the ouertion of forfeitures, 8¢l deemed tne r gt of the ewocratic party to arrogate 10 Reeif the credil of DaviLg m(wu te tbe public domain’ 57,453,000 acres of land..

He hoped sct_at rost those repu e advo had he exaggerations and unjust assortions of credit for the democratic members on the committeo on public lands for work they hud done in common with himself in obtaining this legislation. He believed that they had worked earnestly and had been influenced rather by patriotic than by party motives Mr. Stone ot Missouri called attention to the fact tnat at the time of the Illinois Cen tral grant the president was a whig, and not a democrat, as stated by the gentleman from Illinois. In a speech made sowme time ago he (Stone) had charged that, after the repub. lican party came into power, it changed the policy of land grants. This had been done by the gentleman from Tilinois. Up to 1501 not ono solitary acre of land had ever n granted to @ corporat 5 After the republican party assumed control of public affairs 1t granted 163,000,000 acres directly to railroad corporations. The gentleman conceded that the republican party did grant this amount of land, Mr. Payson did not concede it. Grants had been made by congress without regard to politics, one way or the othe Mr. Stohe inquired when a g character had been made. Mr. Payson replied that they were made, but to trans-continental roads only. Mr, Stone admitted that grants had been add without referenca to the question of but it was a fact that in the con- gresses that made the grants there was an overwhelming republican majority, and there were very few democrats in eith branch. The president who signed the acts was a republican, He insisted that when a congress was overwhelmingly under the con- trol of one party, that party was responsible for the legislation. Pending further debate the committee rose and the house adjourncd. ——— Army Orders. July 28.—|Special Tele- (=5 ames Kearns, Company I, Twenty-fivst infantry, now with his company, is discharged.

He strolled into a bar room in South Boston at an hour when longshoremen were returning from their labors along the docks. The prize fighter imbibed vast quantities of mixed beverages until he gradually lapsed intoa fighting stage of drunkenncss. His mighty right collided with the jaw of a hum- ble toiler of the landing places, who v properly dropped to the floor. Spectators and friends were wroth, but it is probable that they would have taken no action had not the man started to clean out the whole gang. Itwasa sorry move for him. In an instant he was stretched ou the sand-co ered floor where he had sent the longshor man, and half a dozen men_were beluboring him with fists and legs.
