THE FORTT-NIXTH CONGRESS. Br. Sherman's New Silver Measure—Discrimination Against Colored People. Washington', Jan. 28. —Among the bills introduced in the Senate was one by Mr. Sherman, to discontinue the coinage of the silver dollar and to provide for the purchase of silver bullion in hers, of not less than two million ounces nor more than four million per month, at its market price, and for the issue, in payment thereof, of eoin certificates of not less denomination than $lO each, the bullion to remain iu the Treasury as security for the payment of the certificates. A concurrent resolution was offered by Mr. Morrill, and at his request laid on the table for the present, setting apart forever the circle at the western entrance to the Capitol, on Pennsylvania avenue, as a site for a statue of Christopher Columbus, and the circle at the western end of the Capitol, on Maryland avenue, ns a site for a statue for the Marquis De Lafayette. A resolution offered by Mr. Ingalls was agreed te, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the Senate as to the origin of what is known as the “conscience fund” in the Treasury, the amount of the same, and what disposition is made of it. A resolution offered by Mr. Call was, at his request, laid over for the present, instructing the judiciary committee of the Senate to report a bill providing for the retirement or removal of United States district or circuit judges when, from any eause, they shall become unable to perform the duties of their office, discriminating between drunkenness and other causes, so that drunkenness may be punished by impeachment and removal from office. Another resolution offered by the same Senator was, on like request, similarly disposed of, JUrMlilift ihgjudiWAfv committee to report a bill providing for she forreitirpa and opening to settlement of railroad land grants.in cases in which the railroads have not been built-within the time prescribed by Congress. Mr. Call, rising to a question of privilege, read an article from a recent issue of the Louisville Courier-Journal, which stated that he fMr. Call} had introduced a bill providing for the retirement, on a salary of $2,000 a year, of judges who became disabled through drunkenness. The article proceeded to say that any young lawyer who could secure an appointment as a federal judge would, by this bill, be enabledto "secure a yearly pension of $2,000 a year by making nimself a sot, pro hoc vice; that after securing his pension he could sober up and live the remainder of his life in a proper way at the expense of the government. Mr. Call denied having presented any bill of the character referred to. “No one who has intelligence enough to be outside of a lunatic asylum will construe the bill which I have presented as eapable of leading to such a result,” said he. He bad introduced a bill, he said, providing that federal judges disqualified by drunkenness should be retired at the instance of the Attor-ney-®ec°ral until the judge can be removed by* impeachment and permanently removed from the office. Mr. Ingalls presented a petition, offered by Frederick Douglass and others, leading colored citizens af the District of Columbia, complaining against discriminations against them ut theaters and other places of public entertainment in the city of Washington* and praying tha.t the license laws of the District of Columbia be so amended as to prevent such discrimination. The petition, Mr. Ingalls said, was accompanied by affidavits in support of its averments. It was appropriately referred. The Senate then went to the calendar, and resumed consideration of the bill to divide the Sionx reservation in Dakota into separate reservations, aud to secure the relinquishment of the Indian title to the same. A message was received from the President transmitting farther information from the United States minister to Belgium in relation to the notion of the Belgian government in coneifeditp its adhesion to the monetary union of the Latin states. The message was referred to the committee on finance. Another message from the President was received, transmitting a communication from the Secretary of the Interior, and submitting a draft of a proposed amendment to the act ratifying an agreement with the Crow Indians in Montana, for the purpose of increasing the annual payments under that agreement, and reducing the number thereof, in order that sufficient means may be provided for establishing them in their individual allotments. The message was referred to the committee on Indian affairs. A message from the House announced the death of Hon. Reuben Ellwood, late member of that body from the State of Illinois. Mr. Cullorn sketched briefly the life and pub lie services of the deceased, whose heart, he saide had always beat in harmony with that of the working masses. He had been a good citizen, an honest man and pure patriot He recognized no rank among men except that based on integrity, intelligence add industry. In the estimation of Mr. Ellwood, the man who toiled for daily bread and lived an upright life carried the •tamp of manhood on his brow, and was the peer of every man. Mr. Logan characterized the deceased as a naan well equipped for the positions of trust to which his constituents had called him; a man of high honor and unblemished integrity, who, by unremitting industry, had amassed a fortune which he knew how to utilize in benevolence and charity. In his death his district bad lost an able and efficient representative. His death, Mr. Logan said., was but another reminder that ‘ln the midst of life we are in death.” *!?be Senate then, on motion of Mr. Cullom, out of respect to the memory of the deceased, adjourned.

Proceedings in the House. Washington, Jan. 28.— The Speaker laidbeJote the House a letter from the Secretory of tState giving a list of the employes of the State Apartment, and setting forth that the services of none of them can be dispensed with; also, a communication from the same officer, transmitting the replies from Uaited States consuls to the department circular asking for information as to cattle and dairy farming in the respective districts. Referred. Sr. Weaver, of lowa, introduced a bill to provide for the organization of the Territory of OiUhoma, for the allotment of homesteads to Indians m severalty, and to open up unoccupied hinds to actual settlers.

Mr. Gibson, of West Virginia, from the committee on expenditures in the Department of •Justice, reported a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a report of all balances due to and from the United States, as shown by the books of the offices of the Register and Sixth Auditor of the Treasury, from 1789 to the 30th of June, 1885, The Secretary of War and Postmaster-general are also called on for a statement of balances as shown by the books of their departments. Adopted. Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, from the committee on military affairs, reported a bill authorizing the President to restore officers to the array in certain cases. This bill applies to the case of Fits John Porter, and it was placed upon the public at any time during the morning hour, an advantage which is not enjoyed by the specific Fitz John Porter bill, which is upon tho private calfndar. the morning hour the House, on motion of Din K l y* °* Maine, went into committee of the whole (Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, in the chair) on the bill reported by the shipping committee to abolish certain fees for services to American veMels.

A Damaging Sleet Storm. Newburyport, Mass., Jan. 28.—The sleet storm to-day was the most destructive for many years, Mid it is thought that a qnarter of a century will be required to restore the trees of the city to their former beauty. The mercury was slightly above the freezing point during the day, and as fast as the rain fell it froze, covering everything with ice. and the limbs of shade trees could not support the weight. Portions of several streets are impassable. Trees twenty or thirty feet high are stripped of all branches, and the grand old elms have suffered the loss of their largest limbs. The street surveyor was busy all day, with a large force, attempting to clear the streets, but the limbs continued to fall, and this evening the streets are in a dangerous condition. Telephone wires are down all over the city, and the frame work on many buildings which supported the wires broke down nnder their great weight, and across the streets the wires are festooned from building to building. The storm has so disabled the electric fire-alarm that the chief engineer has ordered all bells rung in case of fire. Fall of Temperature in the Northwest. St. Paul, Jan. 28.—1 t is snowing and blowing here to night, and growing colder. Reports from Forts Bnford and Assinaboine, where the storm originated, show a fall in temperature. Ellendale, D. TANARUS., Jan. 28.—A strong north wind has been blowing during the night The third cold wave has reached here. The wind is piling the snow into drifts. The thermometer stands 5° below zero. St. Vincent, Minn,, Jan. 28.—1 tis cold and blustery here, and the snow is drifting. There is a delay to trains. Triple Murder In Kentucky. Louisville, Jan. 28.—A Courier-Journal special says: “Meager details of a triple tragedy in Letcher county, Kentucky, were received by letter to Senator J. F. Candill, at Frankfort today. Wm. Wright an old man, Andy Wright, his son, and Wm. Wright, colored, were killed hy James, Samuel and Elijah Wright ou Wednesday night. The murderers are said to have gone to the home of the slain men and shot them down without warning. The parties are related, and the assassination is thought to have resulted from a family feud. The murderers have been arrested and their trial set for Friday. It is thought they will be hanged, as there is • much indignation and excitement in Letcher county over the affair.” Archbishop Gibbons and tho Cardinalate. Baltimore, Jan. 28.— Archbishop Gibbons’s attention having been called to the Associated Press dispatch, sent from Cleveland, yesterday, stating that he was to be made a cardinal, said that he had held no communication whatever with Bishop Gilmour since the latter's return, and he, therefore, could say nothing in regard to the report, nor as to what foundation there was for it. He also said that the Papal consistory for the creation of new cardinals would not be held until March of the present year. Wb accidentally overheard the following dialogue one the street yesterday: Jones —Smith, why don’t you stop that disgusting hawking and spitting! Smith —How can II You know lam a martyr to catarrh. J.—Do as I did. I bad the disease in its worst form, but I am well now. S.—What did you do for it! J.—l used Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. It cured me, and it will cure you. S.—l’ve heard of it. and, by Jove, I'll try it. J.—Do so. You'll find it at all the drug stores in town.

THE FIGHT IN THE OHIO SENATE. Lieutenant-Governor Kennedy’s Coolness— The Secret of Democratic Action. Columbus Special. Lieutenant-governor Kennedy has surprised even his friends. He is not an expert parliamentarian, and has doubtless made some mistakes, but he laughs and is not easily bulldozed. He is cautious now in his rulings and safe. He is a man of perhaps forty-one years, and reminds one just a little of Oliver P. Morton in his personal appearance. He has seen too much.real fighting to be alarmed at a political row. Entering the army a private and coming out a Briga-dier-general, there is a smile on his face whenever a climax comes in the present rather warm proceedings. Since Monday the Lieu-tenant-governor has been receiving letters of commendation and encouragement from all over the country. Mention has already been made of the number of curious gavels sent him. The one from Cincinnati admirers is of solid gold, with a diamond in the bead, and is an expensive and beautiful thing. From prominent men in Washington and the East generally have come dispatches supporting him in his attitude. The Clerk. Charles Vallandighain, who has made himself so conspicuous by lugging about the Senate’s records in the wake of the Democratic Senators, is a fullwaisted, red-faced and almost red-haired man of about thirty, who is said to look like his brother, and who seems a rather jolly fellow, rejoicing in his present prominence. He edits a paper somewhere in the State, or did edit it before he became a vigorous statesman. There is a silent power, a gray-haired, graymustached, tastefully-dressed personage, the best-looking man in the Senate Chamber, who deserves a mention. He is ex-Speaker Hodge, of Cleveland. He is an expert parliamentarian, and he had won the reputation of having a head as long as any man who ever sat in the Speaker’s chair. He is here ostensibly as a newspaper man from Cleveland, where he owns a newspaper , bnt really as an adviser. He made a prophecy to-day in conversation. It was this: “Two ot the Cincinnati senators were given their seats on a forgery known to everybody. These two men will go out certainly. Two others were not elected, but the proof that they were not is of another nature. They will, in all human probability, go out, too, and all will be done legally and properly and will bo so admitted. That,” he said, “is my prophecy.” ExSpeaker Hodge may be right or wrong, but it looks as if he were right. What it all means, why Democrats struggle so hard to retain control of the Senate, can be understood only by reference to a singular act of the last Legislature. That body, acting with a view to the perpetuation of Democratic power in Cincinnati, established the Board of Police Commissioners. There are three of these commissioners, who are to hold office three years—one going out of office yearly, aud his successor to be elected by the people At least, this will be the case when the new system gets fairly in operation. The first commissioners were to be apgointed. The Legislature dared not trust Gov. ioadly to appoint them. He was not deemed a sufficiently unscrupulous partisan. It dared not trust the courts of Cincinnati to name the commissioners; they might have named good men. And the extraordinary design was finally conceived and executed of leaving the appointments to the Cincinnati Board of Public Works, a body having no more claim to such prerogative and no more fitted for it than the Cincinnati base ball club. But the Board of Public Works is part of the Democratic machine in Cincinnati, and it was an assured thing that its appointments would be such as to give the machine more power. They did with a vengeance. The police commissioners are M. L. Hawkins, a man whom the En quirer supported for sheriff, and who in turn gave the Enquirer the sheriff ’b advertising; Julius Reis, a shrewd, foxy individual, who is aware that the world is his oyster, and votes with Hawkins on all occasions; and Wiil A. Stevens, a business man with no traits in particular. The first two are Democrats, and they are the police board. They work together" and override Stevens when he ventures to oppose them. Stevens seems to be weak rather than anything else, and has opposed some of the more daring acts of his colleagues. It was this board which placed hundreds of thugs as special policemen about the polls in Cincinnati, and not only made possible, but secured the perpetration of the outrages which have caused such scandal. It is this board which Cincinnati wishes to be rid of. The committee of 100 citizens —fifty of whom are Democrats, aud the chairman of whom is a Democrat—have, as previously reported, brought before the Governor the gravest charges against the commissioners, and asks him to remove them from office. The law gives the Governor the right to remove them, but the problem arises as to how their places are to be filled. The Board of Public ’Works had the appointing power only m tha first instance, and even if it had the power now would probably again appoint men of the same type, affording no relief. The law provides that if a vacancy occur in the police board by the death, removal or resignation of one of the commissioners, his place shall be filled by some one chosen by his associates until the time for an election occurs. Bnt if all the commissioners are removed at once no one will remain to name their successors, aud how the places shall be filled becomes an open question. This is the problem before Governor Foraker to day. It is thought possible that Stevens may clear bis skirts of the outrages proved, and that there may not be found sufficient reason for his removal." In such event the problem would be greatly simplified. Here is tho real issue before the Legislature: Cincinnati demands relief from the foul burden, and permanent relief can come only through legislation. With the four Democratic Senators from Hamilton county seated, the relief asked by decent men of both parties cannot come. With these Senators out, the needed legislation can be had at once. It is not a party question. Whether or not there is a slight Democratic majority in one branch of tho Legislature is a trifling thing and felt to be so, but whether or not Cincinnati should have relief is a matter of grave moment

No Settlement Yet Reached. Columbus, 0., Jan. 28.— The Ohio Senate troubles remain unsettled, with opinion about equally divided as to whether any compromise measure will be agreed upon. The joint session met at 10 a. m., and adjourned pending the conference between the joint committees which had been appointed by the caucus of the respective sides, with a view to learn if some understanding could not be agreed upon. The committee was in session all day, but held no evening session. The preceedines were had in executive session, and the members hare no information to give out, with the exception that they have agreed upon nothing definitely. The progress they have made will be reported to the Democratic caucus to-morrow morning, and was reported to the Republican caucus to-pight. The members of the committee felt that they had gone as far as they could in tho conference without first consulting the caucus for support in their movements. It is the expectation that an adjournment of the Senate will be taken tomorrow, to give the committee time. In the meantime the representatives of both sides are preparing their programmes of procedure in case a compromise is not reached. At the Republican caucus, to-night, the action of the conference committee was communicated, proposing the appointment of a special committee composed of equal numbers, politically, of Senate members, to proceed to Cincinnati and make an investigation of the election, and the report is said to have met with favor, although no definite action was taken. The same proposition will be submitted to the Democratic caucus tomorrow morning. It is proposed to have this committee make a report of its findings to the Senate. SOCIETY MEETINGS. A A. O. N. M.
