THE printers of the Evansville Journal office are on a strike, occasioned by the refusal of the proprietors of that paper to accede to the demands of the Union.

HOWARD REED, a switchman employed at the Junction depot, was severely injured, yesterday afternoon, by being caught between two cars which he was coupling.—Ind. Journal.

Will some railroad mechanic, who knows all about the. patent car-couplers, tell us if there is any coupler in use that will obviate the necessity of risking life and limb in making up trains? If there is any good and safe coupler that can be had, the company that neglects to ufeeit js a proper subject for the attention of grand juries.

A GAUGER CHARGED WITH BRIBERY. An important examination^ is now ending before United States Commissioner Betts, in the case of Lewis P. Wctmore, United States gauger of whisky in bond, who is charged with having been bribed several times by Gordon, Fellows, McMillan Sfa., wholesale liquor dealcsra.

It is urged that Wetmore was in the habit of making fraudulent returns, representing the number of gallons to be much less than it really was, for which service, as alleged, he was paid large sums of money. Winfield Tucker, formerly cashier for Gordon, Fellows & McMillan, testified that on many different occasions during the years pf 1865,1866, 1867 and 1868, he put up money in envelopes, which were given to Mr. Cook to be delivered, as he supposed, to Wetmore as bribes. These sums varied from $50 $500. John Cook, of Gordon, Fellpws

McMillan, at the same time testified that he delivered these envelopes to Wetmore, and that, although he did nqt see the contents, he supposed they contained money, as he could feel quite distinctly through the envelopes. The examina-

money, as he coul through the enve tion is to be concluded on the 21st inst

DECISION IN A LIQUOR CASE

1

United States Commissioner Osborne has rendered a decision in the H. P. Clark liquor cases, in which he holds that the fact of mixing liquors without a license, in establishments where liquors have been changed in taste by compounding, is a criminal offense.

SHIP CANAL.

Mail advices from Havana give particulars of the proposed concession by the Mexican Congress to the Tehuantepec Railroad Company for the construction also of a ship canal across that Isthmus, the surveys to be completed in fiveyears, and, if approved by the Government, the construction of the canal is to commence within three years thereafter.

REVENUE MATTERS.

Of the two hundred warrants which were recently issued by the U. S Commissioner against lawyers, liquor dealers and real estate agents, a hundred were not served on account of the parties not being found by the ^Deputy Marshal, twentyfive were discontinued when shown to have been issued without cause, and the rest were settled with Revenue Collectors.

METHODIST AFFAIRS.

The Methodist newspaper thinks the report of the majority of the Book Committee cannot be implicitly believed.— The public, it thinks, will accept the judgment of the minority. The majority of the committee has, from an early period, been affected by a strong bias, and the church is injured by this evident reluctance to admit facts.

COIORESSIOITAIH

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 18.

Mr. Sumner had read a telegram from the Governor of Nebraska, announcing the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment by the Legislature, with but five dissenting rotes.

Mr. Sherman presented a petition from many thousand citizens of Connecticut and Manrland for recognition of Cnban independence. Referred to the Gommittee on Foreign Relations.

Mr. Howard, from the Committee on the Pacific Railroad reported with amendment the joint resolution authorizing the Northern' Pacific Railroad Company to issue bonds for the construction of the road, and to secure the same by mortgage, and also to construct its main road to its western terminus in the valley of the Columbia river.

Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to make the importation of immigrants under labor contracts unlawful.

Mr. Howard introduced a bill granting land to aid the.construction of the Dakota and Northwestern Railroad.

Mr. ConkUng introduced a bill directing the Postmaster-General to contract with the North American Steam Navigation Company, of New York, for transportation of mails between New^ York and Antwerp or Bremen, touching at Plymouth, for a term of fifteen years, the steamers to be exempt from State and Federal taxation, and to receive ocean and inland postage on mails carried by them. Referred to the Committee on Post-offices.

On motion of Mr. Sherman, the funding bill was taken up, and by a vote of 21 to 14 made special order for Wednesday next, Monday being assigned for consideration of business from^the Committee on Commerce.

On motion of Mr. Sumner, the bill creating the office of Solicitor for the State Department^ and for other purposes, was taken up.

Mr» Trumbull said the question suggested by the bill was, whether we were to have in each department of the government a law department, and consequently a variety of decisions upon every question. He preferred such officers should be subject to one head, in other words, that there should be an accumulation in the Attorney General's office of the business belonging to it.

Mr. Sumner said the immediate wants of the State Department required the assistance of a solicitor, and he proposed clerjaal force.

Tie bill was amended to provide for an Examiner of Claims in lieu of a Solicitor, and passed.

Mr. Morrill, of Maine, introduced a bill relative to appropriations and appropriation accounts, directing estimates of appropriations to be made through the Secretary of the Treasury, and prescribing the method of keeping accounts of appropriation bills were considered and passed extending the time for the construction of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad relative to settlers on the Sioux Indian reservation in Minnesota amending the usury laws of the District of Columbia.

The bill to encourage and promote the International Exhibition in Washington City in 1871, was debated by Hamlin, Patterson, Hays and Sherman in favor, and Thurman,- Morrill, oft Vermont, Stewart and Schurz in opposition-

Mr. Thurman said that upon the pretext of making the exhibition creditable to the nation the government would be obliged to shoulder the bulk of expenses, otherwise it would prove a miserable failure. He regarded the whole thing as a humbug, and with the view of saving time he moved to postpone the bill indefinitely.

Mr. Hamlin said he had been informed by wealthy men of Washington, and others having the matter in charge, that they could make the project a success without further charge to the Government than was specified in the bill. This entire charge was embraced in two items, that of transportation to Washington, by Government vessels, of foreign articles to be delivered at the various ports of this country, and the preparation of the ground for the exhibition.

At 3 o'clock, without disposing of the bill, the Senate went into executive session. «v HOUSE.

Mr. WoocI Introduced a bill to regulate ocean telegraph communication between the United States and foreign countries. Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, made an effort to have the House proceed to consideration of the bill to remove political disabilities, but Mr. Dawes pressed his motion to go into Committee of the Whole.

Mr. Butler said he was directed by the Reconstruction Committee to report a general bill for the removal of disabilities. There were now some 3,000 or 4,000 names awaiting the report. Two bills had passed the Senate, and the same were preferred in the House. He desired the House should indicate whether it was disposed to pass a general bill, or what course it would pursue. He thought this legislation more essential than any other. Hundreds of men were waiting to be restored to their rights, while the Appropriation bill would not take effect till July.

Mr. Dawes said he recognized the lm-

Sesired

ortance of the measure his colleague to have considered but it was portant that this bill should be. sent to the Senate as soon as possible.

Mr. Butler said there were numerous special orders to come np immediately after this bill, so if the disability bill was not considered, none knew when it could be taken up.

Mr. Brooks, of .New York, remarked that one of the calamities of the country was th$ late passage of the appropriatidn bills. The Senate usually added on large appropriations at the last moment, when the House had no opportunity to discuss them, but had to have them sent to a conference committee, and he hoped, therefore, that the appropriation bills would be sent to the Senate at the earliest day.

After further discussion as to the order of business, the House went into Committee of the Whole 'on the Legislative Appropriation bill.

Discussion in reference te a supervising architect of the Treasury Department occupied over an hour and a half. Finally a vote was taken on Mr. Farnsworth's motion to strike out the whole paragraph for construction of a branch of the Treasury Department, and was rejected, 40 to 78.

Several amendments were offered and discussed, to increase the salaries of the Second Comptroller of the Currency, of messengers and women employed in the department.

In reference to the Third Comptroller, Mr. Dawes stated he had been inlormed that the law withdrawing the twenty per cent, additional condensation allowed during the war to clerks in the departments nad been construed as not applying to heads of bureaus,.' as these officer* were

still drawing that additional compensation. The discussion relative to women caused some excitement and amusement, Mr. Rogers taking the ground that the employment of women in public offices was demoralizing and is respectable, and should be abandoned by the government, arid that suggestion being repelled by Mr. Stevenson and others.
