IOWA. Perils of Sleep Walking—Catelepsy, Etc. Des Moines,fFebruary 11.—The railroad town of Stuart was thrown into consternation the other morning by the announcement that Miss Crocket, the daughter of the Master Mechanic,of the C. R. I. & P. railroad was missing and could not be found. The alarm was sounded'and everybody turned out, though it was fearfully cold. It appears she rose very early in the morning, called her mother, telling h.er to get up. Her mother arose soon after, but did not miss her daughther for an hour, and, on searching for her. she could not be found. No trace of her could be found in the village, and the search began on the prairie. Her cousin, George Crane, who runs an engine on the road, soon found her tracks and followed them about four miles, when he found her m a farm house, where she had but a few moments before been taken by the family, who had discovered her wanderingabout as if lost. She was badly frozen, and it is feared will lose both her legs, if not, indeed, her life. It is a marvel how she escaped death on the prarie. She had on nothing but her night dress, a thin pair of stockings, a pair of slippers, and a thin, small shawl, and she was exposed to the weather and the snow for three hours. She is about twenty years old, and exceedingly popular among her friends. •She is subject to somnambulism, but this is the first instance where she went away from home. ‘ Siorx City, February 11.—A Mrs. Good win. at Yankton, after a brief illness, to all appearance died last Thursday. She was prepared for burial, put in a coffin, but her limbs and muscles remained in a relaxed condition, and friends took her from the coffih and placed her in a bed. Last night a slight perspiration was noticed, but no other sign of life was visible, and she still remains in a comatose state. Every effort to bring her out of the trance has so far proved fruit-

less.

SENATE. Thursday, February 4, 11 a. m. Senate met at 10 a. m., Lieut. Governor Sexton in the chair. After the reading of the minutes, the further consideration of the INSANE ASYLUM question was resumed. Mr. Haworth presented a petition from the State Board of Agriculture (now in session), recommending that an Asylum be built and located upon the Asylum grounds in Indianapolis. Referred. Pending the vote upon Mr. Dykeman’s amendment to Mr. Haworth’s amendment to the original substitute of Mr. Winterbotham (that the entire State be thrown open to the commission, except Marion county), Mr. Neff, in a short speech, advocated the location of all public buildings at Indianapolis. The ayes and noes being demanded, Mr. Hykeman’s amendment was voted up. Ayes, 2G; noes, 24. Mr. Bell moved that Mr. Haworth’s amendment as amended (opening the entire State to the commission except Marion county) be iaid upon the table. Carried, ayes26, noes

24.

Mr. Sleeth offered an amendment instructing the Commission to examine the building now used as a Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home, at Knightstown, for the purpose of ascertaining f this can not be remodeled and used to s'ood advantage. Adopted by consent. Mr. Chapman offered an amendment inreasing the number of commissioners to flve, and to be of diverse politics. Adopted by consent. Mr. Harney offered an amendment providing than only one asylum be erected. Pending the vote upon this Mr. Harney tated that one asylum was needed at once, ind should be erected at once. Why, then, provide for the building of two, neither of .vhich are to be completed for upwards of -wo years. Mr. LaRue favored the building of two, for there were more insane now confined in •ounty poor-houses and jails than can be provided for in one asylum. ' Mr. Gooding moved to lay the amendment upon the table. Carried, ayes 28, noes 24. Mr. Bell moved the engrossment of the bill as amended by Mr. Winterbotham’s sub--titute. Pending the vote, Mr. Baxter spoke at length against the unfairness of the Dili, in leaving all the central portion of the State mt in the cold. Mr. Gooding moved that the bill as amended be considered engrossed and placed upon ts passage. Mr. Sleeth moved to lay the motion upon the table. Pending the vote upon Mr. Sleeth’s motion, Mr. Thompson, with consent of the Senate, offered an amendment to the bill that the Commissioners be limited to a salary of $200 per annum. Adopted by consent. Mr. Sleeth’s motion *was lost; ayes 21, noes 29. Mr. Friedley moved the previous question, Mr. Gooding’s motion that the bill be con-* sidered engrossed and put upon its motion); carried, ayes 28, noes 22. On motion to suspend the rules and read the bill a thiid time, a call of the roll resulted ayes 34, noes 16. THIRD READING OF *THE BILL. S. B. 204, introduced by Mr. Winterbotham, authorizing the Governor, during the present session, of the General assembly, to appoint four Commissioners of diverse politics, at a salary of $200 per year, who shall locate and conduct two Insane Asylums, one to be located north of the south line of the counties of Warren Tippecanoe Clinton. Tipton, Blackford and Jay, and one South of the north line of the connties of Sullivan, Owen, Clay, Brown, Bartholomew and Franklin. For the construction of these Asylums $200,000 shall be appropriated for the year 1875, and $300,000 for the year 1876. Not less than 160 acres of land shall be purchased for each Asylum. The call resulted*: Ayes, 40; noes, 10—a full Senate. So the bill passed. CORRUPTION CHARGES. During the debate, Senator Dykeman had made charges of fraud and corruption in the management of the Insane Asylum located at Indianapolis, and Johnson, of Floyd, introduced a resolution calling for an investigation. Mr. Dykeman submitted the following as a substitute for Mr. Johnson’s which was passed: Resolved, That a committee of three Senators be appointed by the President of the Senate, to investigate into the management of the Lunatic Asylum, located at Indianapolis, with power to send for persons and papers, to administer oaths, and compel the attendance of witnesses, to the end, that the charges uttered against it may be substantiated or disproved. Adjourned. HOUSE. The House met at 10 a. m., Speaker Turpie in the chair. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Day. THIRD BEADING. ’ House bill, providing that property of corporations shall be assessed in same manner as property of private firms, passed. Ayes, 51; noes, 4*5. House bill to consolidate the two Boards of Prison Directors, and creating one Board of Control of three directors for both prisons, with salary of $500 a year, created considerable discussion.

The Whisky Tax—Louisiana Hatters. Etc. Washington, January 11.—It has been definitely determined that there will be a session of the Senate called to meet on the 4th of March for the consideration of executive business. The reciprocity treaty with Hawaii will then be considered. [Special to the (Courier Journal of to-day.] The outgivings in respect to the new tax bills o4 the Ways and Means Committee have produced a great deal of excitement among the whisky dealers and distillers of the Western cities. Messrs. Beck, Saylor & Banning have received a number of disjpatche^on the subject from their friends. One of these, from Mr. W. N. Hobart, of Cincinnati, in behalf of his association, earnestly protests against any increased tax upon distilled spirits in any form, and says that were the present seventy-cent tax fully collected, they think the revenue would be increased twenty-five per cent.; and they represent that experience has demonstrated that a high tax has produced less revenue than a low one. The Hon. Milton Saylor promptly objected this morning to give the tax 1)411 the special advantage of being considered without giving it to the committee of the Whoje. He will take the ground, when the bill comes up, that an increased tax on whisky will kill the goose that lays the golden egg; that whisky and tobacco are already paying an enormous portion of the taxes; that a small section of the country is to be saddled with a lisproportionate share of the taxes, and that, though the tax paid may come back from the consumers, yet it will be burdensome to dealers and holders, by forcing them to lie out of this money from thirty to ninety days, and also that the increased tax will lead to fraud and drive honest men ofit of the trade. The falling off in the revenue from whisky Mr. Saylor attributes to the fact that the present tax ts not properly collected in other places than the West, as, for instance, in New Orleans and New York. Mr. Saylor will oppose taxing the whisky in bond, or in the hands of the wholesale dealers, even if that to be manufactured hereafter shall be subjected to the increased tax of 30 cents. Mr. Beck is opposed to any new tax whatever on whisky, but insists that, if the whisky in bond is to be taxed, the whisky in the stores of wholesale dealers should be subjected to the same treatment. TEXAS AND PACIFIC. The chances of the Texas and Pacific railroad in the Senate are less favorable to-day. The difficulty is that the committee washed, and Stewart, of Nevada, has the casting vote. All his record, speeches, and public comqiitments on such measures would bind him to go for this bill; but on the other hand he is regarded by many persons as part of the live stock and cattle of Mr. C. P. Huntingtington, of the Central Pacific. He has now a chance to disprove these imputations, and Iras the power to say whether there shall be a report or not on the Texas and Pacific. The course of Hamilton, of Texas, in opposing the bill is regarded as suspicious, the interests of his constituents being clearly for the measure. It is believed that if the committee would report the bill, it would pass; but the opposition, backed up by the money and lobby of Jay Gould and Huntington, is rather hard to beat. ARKANSAS AFFAIRS. There is a very extensive disgust among the Republicans at the President’s message on Arkansas. The Cabinet is reported to be much annoyed and chafed at not being consulted. Mr. Williams has been stultified. The key to the mystery probably is that the kitchen cabinet which fixed up the message was bought up by some of the rotten securities which Dorsey and Clayton propose to fasten on the people of Arkansas as a debt, if they succeed in overturning the State jgovernmenL LOUISIANA AFFAIRS. At the session for debate to-night, General Banning delivered a speech on Louisiana, reviewing the whole Southern question, and earnestly protesting against the perpetuation of the spirit of sectional hate and rancor on the part of the Republicans. He stated that, as a Union soldier, he repudiated the sentiment of Butler, regretting that he had not hung more men while at New Orleanv&nd said if any man had made such a proposition at the close of the war he would have been regarded as a monster.

Evarts handed him a” copy of the tripartite covenant, which Tilton identified as being an exact copy of that one signed by him. Witness stated when the meeting of arbitration was held the covenant was read. When the paragraph relating to Bowen was reached witness said if Bowen signs that portion. I’ll sign it twenty times over. The retraction was so sweeping on Bowen’s part, and he bad circulated such terrible stories about Beecher and himself, that witness was filled with a sense of Bowen's magnanimity. The arbitrators at this meeting were Moulton fog witness, Wilki.nson for Bowen, and Claffn? for Beecher. Witness signed it after Clafiin said Bowen would have to sign. Two copies of the covenent were made, but only one signed, which Clafiin took. The award received by witness was $7,000. Witness was asked if he didn’t refuse to sign the covenant until Bowen paid the money. Tilton replied, “No; that was the statement published by Wilkinson, and ’tis a lie." Beecher signed the covenant first, witness next and Bowen last. Each signed separately and at different times and places. ILLINOIS. Ntote/Foiindeni* Heeling—Cold Weather—DeK oven’s Chances.
