Vanderbilt and his friends.

GIGAHTIC SCHEME.

THE RKADIHG ELECTION.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa^ January 10.—The contest for the presidency of the Beading railrpad continued this morning. Gowan remarked that be would consume the whole of to-day in submitting between I,200 and 1,800 proxies. While the voting was going on, Bullitt, of the McCalmont bond counsel, interrupted to offer what he alleged toIta* certificate of 500 shares that D. Baumann's 'proxy yesterday assigned to the support of tbe Gowan ticket. "I produce this certificate," slid Bullitt, "in order to show that tlie stock baa been rold Gowan said: "I -have information that parties borrowed the certificates for the purpose of aiming here aod claiming that the etock thus presented had been sold." 'However, ibe said he would cable over and ascertain authoritatively if Baumann's stock had been sold, and if he learned that it had, be would withdraw the vote. The voting then proceeded, with nearly all the votes offered being thoee of Gowan. One of the first was that of exSenator Simon Cameron, for one share, in the Gowan interest..

Atone p. m-. recess was ordered. By this time 233 votes bad been polled, making with those cast yesterday, 408 altogether. These represent something like 85,000 shares, of which 80,000 are Gowan votes. Receiver Gowan said: "I expect to have 290,000 votes, including those of the stockholders who frill vote for me personally, but whose proxies hold" He places the total number of enfranchised shares at 560,000. The stock objected to by the McCalmont bond counsel up to the time of recess was L. Cohen & Co, 120 shares Cammon & Co., 200 B. L. Cutting, 1,600

J. H. Davis A Co., 300, and Elliott, Son & (,MmDg Co., 620. At 5 rn. tbe meetiog adjourned until to-morrow, the last vote polled being number 697, of which 175 were cast yesterday, leaving 522 as the total number cast to-day. All the votes cast to-day were in Gowan's pioxies, representing in the neighborhood of about 52,000 shares. Including the shares voted on yesterday, the total number voted upon thus far is not quite 110,000, of which within a fraction of 5,000 shares were for the Bond ticket. Schell,of New York, who represents Vanderbilt, was present during tbe entire proceedings today, but took no part in them, nor did he vote the Vanderbilt stock. Ira Shafer, of New York, who is said to hold Jay Gould's proxy lor II,500 shares, did not remain. It is generally understood that the Boad party wilt pit Shafer against Receiver Gowan in tbe discussion, "there is a stronger feeling of confidence than ever sftaong tbe Gowen party, but the Bond party also retain confidence.

(i r*dt "THE PROFESSOR." This play, which met with success at the Madison -Square Theatre during tbe last sutBEier season, will be produced at tbe 0pet3 House to-night, with an excellent company, the author, W. H. Gillette, appearing in the title role, The New YOI£ Art Intel change -says "Mr. Gillette has written a play which contains one striking idea. The eentral figure is a college professor, of a type so familiar that the only wondar is that it has never heei\ utilized for stage purposes before. The merits of the play are the sincere anJ spontaneous purposes shown to have guided its composition, the introduction of matter practically new to the stage, tbe beauty of many of tbe speeches, and the genuine success of the pivotal character, which is at once odd, unique, amusing, and very striking. It is embellished with fine sceoery, richly and tastefully set. There is nothing in the Professor to offVnd."

EMMA ABBOT—ENGLISH OPERA. Terre Haute is fortunate in having the promise of two performances by the renowned Emma Abbott Opera Company. On Wednesday, 18th inst., there will be a matinee with ''Olivette" for the attraction. At night "Lucia di Lammermoor," tbe grand tragic opera by Donizetti, will be presented. A perusal of the list of artists in another column will give an idea of tbe strength of the company. The orchestra and chorus are also prominent features. A feast of music and action is in etore for optica lovers that is rarely to be enjoyed. "FUN ON THE BRISTOL."

A strong variety eompany will give this comedy at the Opera House Friday night. The Boston Post says: "The am unt of fun which the ten or dozen actors and sctressess of Jarrett*& Rice's party create in .about two hours and a half, in the presentation of the musical comedy, "Fun on the Bristol or, a Night on the Sound," now being played at tbe Gaiety Theatre, is something enormous. The piece is in three acts, and there is a straight story, although it is slight and unimportant. One cares very little about a plot wben shading his side* with liugliter over tbe pranks and oddities of the ten or il jzen people aforesaid. The piece fairly bristbs with comic situations and business and in its musical part draws upon the whole range of mu*ic from "Lucia" to Harrigan and Hart's latent tsong. It is as impossible to describe the performance as it is to "draw a diagram ot a joke,'* and a good deal of it can only be had from witnessing it. The audience last tvening was as large as the hone could cont-in, and it is evident .that the piece is up for a very successful run." ,irs„ ,np

Dr. Freed.

Yesterday morning at four a'cioek Coroner Laughead went down to Hartford and from there to the residence of Dr. Freed, whose sudden death was announced yesterday morning. The trip from tbe station was first attempted in a lumberwagon, but this finally mired in the clay, and tbe coroner finished the journey on muleback. When the boose was entered a vial of morphine was discovered sitting on a table at the bedside of the dead man, and by it was lying a knife. An examination developed tbe presence of morphine, and tbe natural supposition was, that while taking morphine to alleviate tbe suffering from the stomach trouble to which be was eabjeet, be took an overdose, resulting in death- The only evideice obtained by the coroner is given below: i-,-. B. T. ALL,

Being duly sworn said: "My attention was attracted by being informed by Eatella Harris that she thought that there was someting the matter with Dr. Freed, because he had not been seen through' the day, and bis horte was in the stable, and tbe door was locked, and no inscription on the slate. About six o'clock in tbe evening of tbe 9th I came to George Myer's. George Myers, Thomas Welch, Robert Sniith ana a:c came to his bouse. We then sent for W. H. H. Denton. Abont seven o'clock we looked through tbe window over the top of the blind and discovered bim lying in th$ bed. We tnen took out a pane of glass. We then decided that he was dead and we immediately dispatched George Myer for tbe coroner.

One who Knows, Says Something of tbe Lafayette Prise Drill. Lafayette Courier.

The McKeen Cadets C|me here to attend the soldiers' reunion. They contested for the drill prizes, and won fairly and squarely. They conducted themselves honorably, as gentlemen, and now they feel sore because the prise which they won has never been paid, and the papers of their city are advocating their cause in a way by no means flattering to Lafayette, and they are right. Tbe Courier does not know who is to blame, but the McKeen Cadets should be paid in full at once, and we wish to remind our esteemed contemporaries of Terre Haute that the sins of the few should not be visited on the beads of the multitude. Circumstances of various characters conspired against the success of the reunion, but, in spite of that, every contract should be carried ont to the letter and the Cadets given their just dues. "Fun on tbe Bristol" will commence at tbe Opera House next Friday evening. All who wish to take a hearty and long continued laugh should go.

Pennsylvania Tax PHILADELPHIA, January 10.—The State Revenue Commission met this afternoon. The sub committee to consider the exemption from taxation of plank roads, turnpikes and canals, recommend the exemption for roads though not for canals. The committee on exemption of manufacturing companies and limited partnerships recommended a repeal of taxes on both, provided that in all cases where the capital stock of both is exempt from State tax, tbe real and other property of said companies or partnerships, whether heretofore representsd by ttack or not, shall be subject to like taxes for local purposes as if in the hands of individuals. The Committee appointed to consider tbe exemption of building and loan associations made a report that such associations should not be subject to State taxation. The committee to ascertain what corporaions are taxed on capital stock, and whethtr they should be discharged, recommended that all corporations created for benevolent, religious or bnrial purposes should be exempt, with certain amendments. The committee on collateral inheritance tax recommended no reduction, and an enlargement of the duties of auditors appointed by the Common Pleas Cjurt. The committee in referring to taxation on money at interest, reported that the tax was unequally collected, and recommended, as a means of makiog efficient the michinery of collections, that statements be required under oatb, etc. These reports were accepUd and approved.

Dawes, from the comuittee on Indian A flairs, which had had before it a letter from tbe Secretary of the Interior on the subject, reported a bill lo accept and ratify the agreements submitted by the Crow Indians, of Montana, for tneealeof a portion of their reservation, and to make tbe necessary appropriation for carrying out the same.

Bayard, from the Finance Committee, reported, with recommendation that it pass, the Morrill tariff commission bill, and also with an adverse report, the Garland commission bill. He said he favored the mode of constituting the commission prescribed in the former, namely: from among civilians, as tending to remove tbe tariff questions from the arena of the sectional or partisan feeling of. the existence of which Congressmen were fully conscious. Proceeding to argue the necessity for immediate action to correct the incongruity and inefficiency of the existing tariff he characterized it as class legislation for the benefit of tbe few as a perversion of legislation. He repudiated-

the doctrine that what is wanted is a tariff for protection with ircidental r«ve nues, and argued that taxation, to be just, must be uniform, and to be uniform must be universal. Tbe paramount purpose in tar.ff taxation should be to provide tor th^ expenses of the Government, and the incidental result of this iD fostering our industries might be wisely considered, not as a controlling motive in laying (axes, but as one of the inevitable resul e. He did not propose now to discuss the principles of tariff taxation at any length. Tbey were soon to be acted up-.u by the representatives of the people. The war taxes of tbe present tariff were out of date in time of peace. Iu illustration of this he referred to duties on various articles.

Upon the conclusion of Bayard's remarks Beck addressed the Senate, the gal-

leries having meanwhile filled up, in anticipation of an oratorical display. Beck, in his speech, opposed the bill as a ennning scheme of the monopolize for delay, to which they had resorted not only as a means of preventing legislation by the present Congress, but of whitewashing all the enormities of a high protective system. He wanted to have immediate action on the tiriff, and assertxl that all a commission would find out as a basis of judicious reduction taxation could bs presented by a committee of the Senate, and furnished the Ways and Means Committee of the House in six weeks. The wise men whom it was proposed to have the President select might refuse to hear whatever did not suit them, and woajd not be accountable for misrepresentations in their report. The evident purpose of the so-called protectionists, as shown by the declaration of their organs and conventions, was to have a commission which would be committed to their interest. In the last Congress, with a Democratic majority in the Senate, there was some plausibility in the suggesiions of Bayard and other Democrats, who then supported a similar 11, that a commission unfairly composed by tbe President could ba rejected. Now, when tbe power to j-^ct did not exist, he [Bsckl was «m zid at the snriender by sny Democrat to a Republican President. He re garded the term 'free traders," aapplied to the Democratic party because of its "tariff for revenue only" planks of 1876 and 1880, as absurdity, for that partv favored the raising of much the largest portion of the necessary revenue from customs dues It recognized that of $340,000,000 required for next jear $200,00i),000 must be obtained by tariff taxation, and had ne»er thought ot depriving American industries of the protection a proper revenue tarifl would afford. In tbe last few years the revenue^ from tariff had risen and had not dwindled yearly. This, however, was not hec«u*e of, but io spite of, protection, and was due to scnrciiy in Europe and abundant harvests at home, the latter being imulaied jby land grants to corporation" and settlers. Protection that gave Congression al license to a few wealthy combinations to extort from American firmtrs and laborers a large percenta.e of their earnings was such protection as a wolf gave a lamb. Another evidence 6f our commercial degradation w/a shown in the lues of our carrying trade, thns compelling ns to pay foreigner* 2»l30,000,000 a year for ciing ss our carriers, brokers and insurance agents, iu our Commercial relations, together with the total disappearance of our sixty thoosand sailors of 1869 That tbe present system bad #t tbe people fi«e times more (ban it bad produced tath#"Treasury was *bown in connection with the passage «f ibe bill of 1872, making reduction of 10 per cent, on certain classes of manufactures, when the statement war made by Burehard that the reduction npon si* classes lessened the revenue not quite#10,000,000, but lightened taxation $64,000,000.

Merrill, in reply, said he had neve* sought to make, the tariff a party questioo. If the Senator chose to make it a party que. tion, upon bim rested the responsibility. Morrill then combatted some points presented by Beck, and said, as to the cotton t»x, of Which the Sentor complained, that it was about the only tax paid by the Soatb, while the North, E*st and West p-tid thousands of millions to support the Government. If he [Morrill] was a Southern man, he would institute that very policy to day that is to say, of levying internal revenue tax upon every pound of cotton produced in this country, except that for family nse, and making a drawback of an equal amount upon manufactured articles, thread, yarn, etc', sent abroad. He believed this would, in a short time, double the total Southern exports.

Here tbe debate, which had continued by unanimous consent, terminated, and the Chair laid before the Senate tbe unfinished iHherman funding bill.

crease, a loss of $29,000,000 revenue. That it has protected smuggling, enriched dishonest officials and bankrupted honest merchants was shown in the investigation in 1874 into the moiety system This was the system of which the Senator from Vermont was so fond, and against the continuance of which be [Beck] protested. Beck in comparing England's present proud position with that of her protection era, which, he said, had been landed by Morrill as her "Augustine age," quoted from writers to show that the trade restrictions of that day npon the American Colonies to make them boy more from than they sold to English merchants, were tyrannical and absurd that die landed aristocracy, the privileged classes, who then alone were represented in Parliament, ignored the masses whom they counted their retainers, as D. J. Morrill & Co., protectionists, here now count their operatives in petitions sent for a tariff commission, each boasting how many be worki and controls that the class legislation of that day, broken up by the reform bill and the common laws,- was analagoqs to that of the railroad subsidies and tariff monopolies of Congress in our times. The claim that protection created for England the most varied and extensive workshops in the world was disproved by the fact that when Sir Robert Peel tonk rffice in 18.41, the home trade bad been disturbed, the country ruined and its people beggared. Beck concluded his speech afier occupying the floor nearly three hours.

[From Oeo. H. Peters & Co's Circular.J BOSTON. January 3, 1882.—The year which has just rioted has oeen a remarkably favorable one for the lumber business. When the year opened it was not anticipated that so many large corporation orders would be' in the mar ketas was the case in 1880, aud that the demand ior ordinary business orders would be larger than tbe year previous. But the past year has been even more marked than 1880, in the enormous amounts of lumber used in the erection of docks, warehouses, elevators, cars, brld.es, and storehouses, while the business tn smaller orders for dwelling housts has not been as large as was anticipated.

There is no decline yet in corporation orders which already extend into the new year considerably, especially for car stuff. Tbe wonderful prosperity of our country during tho year 1881, exceeded that of any previous year of its bistoiy, it may safely be said, and the vast tide of immigration pouring trom foreign Unds into our country, has stimulated trade in every direct on. Already it Is stated over 14,0b0 German emigrants of tbe better claw are regis* te ed for passage to America this year. The new year opens with a most favorable prwpect, and while perhaps large enterprises are being pushed beyond immediate'demands, yet our eountiy is growiug so fast end is being developed so rapidly that some of the most reliable observers eiaim that we are only developing our various commercial interests in proportion to our national gaowth.

No class of trade feels this growth morff ttan lumber. The largest demand, of c.ur»e, West, where most of tbe emigrants go. But cur Eastern cities and towns feel the influence this by all our various manufacturing interests having been employed to their full capacity.

We (anticipate another faVoratle year in lurcher trade, with a mucn larger demand for dwelling bouses, which will stiinnliitebuilding.

The year just clostd wa* remarkable in the stesdy advance iu prices on Western lumber iu, both pine atid hard woods from its twinning. In this advance black walnut took the lead, showing a rise of 20 ner (*nt. since January. 1381. In pne tbe advance was iarge and steady, which drew heavily all along on the nupply, ana left a comparatively light stock in the bands of manufsctuieis. EfpeUally onld we note the large demand ine strips throughout the count-y: a large amom.t if these are used for car-bnilding, which Industry is now at its height, livery car panmac tory is pushed to its uttno*t to •upply the •tenia'd of the rapidly growing rail road Interests throughout therouutry. the want, ol more -rsfor freight trafie has never been so fully proved as 1 't yrar, and t' lumber Inter(HiffiMflil ^ie*tl? from the l*rk of pbrtatiftTi facilities.
