Jhe Land Grant Pacific Railroads ReceiTe Attention in Both Houses. "A-j Senator Edmunds Introduces a

Bill to Stop the Controversies Between the Boads and the Government.

The Honse Adopts a Resolution Calli"g Upon the Public Lands Committee for Immedi^be

IN THE BOUSE.

"This being bill day most of the session was occupied in calling the roll for the introduction of bills, which poured in by the hundreds. Springer offered a resolution which was adopted, increasing the membership of the committee on expenditures in the department of justice. Mr. Holman offered a resolution .doclaring that all lands granted to railroads, which had not complied with tfieir charters, Bhould be declared forfeited, and directing the House committee on public lands to report such a bill at once. There was some debate, in the course of which Mr. Cobb said he supported the resolution though there was no necessity for it as the committee on public lands was already working hard in the matter. The resolution •was carried by a vote of yeas 251, nays 18. Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill providing that in any suit against an innocent purchaser ot an article manufactured in violation of the patent law if the plaintiff shall not recover $20 or over, he shall recover no costs agreed to. Mr. Cox, of New York, moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill repealing the laws prescribing the ironclad oath. Mr. Boutelle opposed the bill. If the repeal of the test oath will have a tendency to hastening the era of good feeling he would heartily favor it, but he believed the interpretation to be put upon that action would be harmful to the country. When "every concession of this kind was interpreted in the south asa retrogression from the standpoint of loyalty and the sanction or condonation of attempts to destroy the government he must enter hiB protest. Mr. Cox explained that the bill only affected jurors and men who take the ironclad oath. Men who had been in the secession did not take the oath, therefore it did not affect southern men. The ironclad oath was but a rotten reminder of the clumBy authoress of arbitrary poweiv that was necessary during the war as a test, but since the men who fought against the union were rehabilitated the same privileges should be extended union men which disunionlsts onjoyed. Why keep up these old bitter hates of the paBt Why not pour oil upon the old wounds?

The motion was agreed to and the bill passed 185 to 11.

Position of the Two Parties.

Special Telegram to the Jnter-Ocean. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 21.—

There is a manifest disposition on the part of the minority in the house to keep their mouths closed on the tariff question, and, as a leading western representative said to-night, "let the Democrats take the initiatory steps in this matter." Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois Republicans conversed with echoed this sentiment, it was agreed that no good result to their party agitation of protection or free trade. It would be time enough to give their views when the question was raised in the house, and tnen there would be no trouble for the Republicons to array themselves on the right side. Conferences had been held with the leaders of the minority in the house, and they had fully agreed that this course was the better one. Consequently it was not likely that the Republicans on the ways and means committee would advance any tariff ideas till the majority had made their intentions known. Both sides thus far have been very quiet on the subject of tariff, but it is probable that the calm will be succeeded by a storm in the course of a week or two.

Snyder regrets exceedingly that the hanging is not public, as ne desires to speak from tha gallows and address the young men of Mount Vernon principally. The relatives of the unfortunate young men are only allowed the visit the jail on Sundays. During the week, however, numbers call, through curiosity mainly, to take a look at the prisoners. It is certain Governor Porter will grant no state clemency, and the hanging will .positively take place at the time appointed.

PUDDLERS OF BRAZIL.

BRAZIL, January 21. At a meeting of the Brazil puddlers held on the above date it was reBolved by them not to work at the proposed reduction of 12J per cent. It was also resolved not to work more than five heats per turn.

In September last the president requested the men to work six heats, that he was pressed with orders, and they did BO for that reason. And now, when it is claimed by him that he must have this reduction that he may compete with other mills and procure orders, he still demands they shall make six heats, which, you will observe, is very inconsistent with his claim for reduction in price.

The puddlers have considered these matters seriously and have come to the conclusion that they have some rights that should be respected by the president of the mill and his subordinates. Therefore we, the puddlers of Brazil, request all other puddlers in other places to keep clear of Brazil, Ind., and give us a show to obtain our rights, as we are all here and determined to stand out until our rights are granted. 1 y.itywiw cdpy.

J. Z. Thomas, of Newport, is, in he over thirteen feet below the surface at city. Eagle street, where the new sewer will D. Duncan and wife, of Eugene, are empty into the canal sewer. This will in the city. make it a little more than six feet be-

a fraction over two feet below

'A partial relief, only." Mr. Grimes drew his pencil on the map on Twelfth street, and south on Twelfth to Poplar. "Now, all this territory north of Popular street this sewer will effectually drain, but all below Poplar street it will only partially drain. It is on the principle, I suppose, of half a loaf is better than no bread at all. The sewer below Poplar street will drain that section of the city slowlv. The water there will almost be drained ofl several hours after rain, but it will not drain it thoroughly. I understand that it is not the expectation that the Bewer will drain it thorougely. It is only intended, as I said,a8 a partial relief, until the Bewer around Strawberry hill is built." "So much for the lower end of the sewer. Now above Poplar street will this sewer drain that section thoroughly "Yes, sir. As you know the ground east of the railroads from Eagle street south to Poplar street, and east three or four squares, is very low, and needs drainage badly. This sewer, with collateral sewers from the different streets, or good surface drainage, will make this section, now wet, as dry as any portion of the city."

Sir. Grimes stated that the sewer would drain only a small portion of the Sixth ward, and that portion only

Eixth

artially. The only way to drain the ward thoroughly would be to construct a large Bewer deep enough to have collateral sewers running into it from all directions.

He took the map and pointed out to the reporter the mistake, as he thought, made in the construction of the other sewers, particularly the canal sewer. This sewer was too near the surface. It could have been put down deeper, and then there would have been no trouble in making the proposed sewer work. The Canal sewer, it will be observed, is thirteen feet below the surface where it crosses Eagle street. This makes it about twenty-seven feet above the low water mark in the river. If this sewer had been made deeper, it would have made more fall for all sew era running into it from the Sixth ward or adjacent territory.

Two points, it will be observed, can be drawn from Mr. GrimeB' statements: First—The

Bewer

will drain the ter

ritory north of Poplar street effectually. Second—It will only partially drain the territory of the Sixth ward below Poplar street, and that only a partial drainage of this territory is expected by the projectors of the sewer.

The committee on sewers asked him what effect a sewer would have, bnilt aa this is intended, and he tol4 them.

They knew what they were doing when they projected the sewer. He would be glad to have the advice of an eminent engineer, as had been proposee. He was sure, though, that they could draw no better map I' was drawn by Mr. Simpson, ana he had to work by.

BONO'S SENSATION7.

A Country Belle Klopes With Her Lover—The father Furious.

Bono is a little town in Helt township, Vermillion county. The postoffice is known as Toronto. For twenty years or more nothing lias come to inar the quietness of the neighborhood. It is purely a bucolic place. The cows grazed in the town, and in the evening the sheep-bells tinkle while the old women meet at gossip and the nen talk about the growing crops or the approaching annual hog-killing. The neighborhood is prolific of pretty maidens, such as Vermillion county only can produce. Among these mafdens was Ollie Barn hart, daughter' of Farmer Henry Barnhart, a sweet, shy little creature, not yet eighteen years old. Last Summer, Oliver Hickman, ayoung man. came into the neighborhood, and went to work on the farm of Mr. Henry Jenckos. He formed the acquaintance of Mi Ollie, and their acquaintance ripened into love, and they plighted their troth. Farmer Barnhart objected, and forbid the marriage. Miss Barnhart would not listen to her father, and clung to her lover. At last her brother appealed to her and gave her $20 if she would give up her lover. She took the money, and to all appearances forsook Hickman. But love is strong, and Miss Ollie only acted as others of her sex have acted before and will for ages to come. She communicated with her lover, and they resolved to elope. She spent the $20 for a wedding outfit. Of course it was not very extensive, but it was enough for an elopement. Last Sunday she promised to go sleigh riding witn a young man named -Bernetus Tilloteon, a country heau. When evening came young Tillotaon put in appearance and took Miss Ollie to the house of a Mr. Wishard, about a mile distant. When they had been there a short time the young lady disappeared, and on Bernetus going* to look for his team, found it missing. The truth then dawned upon him that he had been used as a go-be-tween for Hickman and Miss Barnhart to elope. The young lady's father was notified and he was furious. He declared that he would never forgive them. The young couple were seen going toward Paris, and it is thought they went there to be made man and wife. Young Tilloteon is considerably worked up" on account of the loss of his team, but he will get it back again, as Hickman is spoken of very highly. A citizen of Bono was seen by an Express reporter last evening. He reported the excitement high at that place, and said' that nearly everybody sympathized with the young people.

The Weather.

The river has frozen over above the 1. & St. L. bridge, and such weather as we are now having will soon give us a frozen river all along the city front Mr. Hager's thermometer yesterday morning showed 6° and D. P. Cox's 8e below zero. As will be seen from the following dispatch, it was a cold day in Ohio yesterday:

CINCINNATI, 0., January 21.—Specials to the Commercial Gazette report the thermometor 23° below zero this morning at New Lexington, Ohio, 22° below at Coshocton, Ohio, colder than January 5th, and 22° below at Middletown, Ohio.-

A Hard Fight.

Patrick McCabe and Henry Sbolton had a hard fight yesterday at the corner of Eleventh and Poplar They are both "good" men, and they made the blood fly every blow. They fought exactly one hour and thirty-seven minutes, according to the spectators. The patrol wagon was telephoned, and when it arrived they were still at it, and had to be choked loose. McCabe a face was a perfect pulp. They .weie both jailed.

Insane.

Justice Shaw and James Huntwork, of Farmersburg, were in the city yesterday. They brought the papers ia the insanity case of Frederick Moore, whom they had adjudged insane. Moore is a young man, the son of Mr. Thomas B. Moore, a wealthy farmer of Linton township. He has been in poor health for some time. He imagines that he has killed some one, and is

very violent at times.

The Killed Brakeinan. The remains of John Cain, the brakeman who was killed on the I. & St. -'-V L. Saturday night, an account of which appeared in Sunday's Express, were sent to his late home at Marion, '^v Ohio, Sunday afternoon. The coroner's 'vv inqvest was finished on Sunday and a verdict returned that the deceased came to his death accidentally and that no blame could be attached to other parties.

"That Ho«8." 1*.

About the toughest specimen of the 'old gray horse"-to be found in this Jty is now engaged in hauling the suburban mail delivery cart. This great and glorious country must be mighty hard up when it uses such a dilapidated specimen of horse-flesh— horse-bone is nearer the truth as that old gray. He should have been retired and" put on the pension list twenty years ago.
