Hew York Sun. There is a good deal of cheap talk In circuTatloa about the election of "millionaires'' to the United States Senate. Bow many millionaires are there in the Senate, and how many of these owe their seats to their money! The fact is that the Dumber of very rich men in the Senate is not large, nor hare they all bought their seats. A millionaire, unlets he happens to be merely a lacky speculator, has earned his money by the possession and display of remarkable talents for business; and such men, if modest and patriotic, may well make useful if not showy members of the Senate. That it is the rule to buy the election of a Senator in any other State than Nevada we do not believe; and Nevada was made a State for causes that never can occur again. There is no reason why a millionaire shouldn't have the same rights as anybody else, as long as he behaves himself; nor is he less likely to be a -UBeful Senator than some lawyer who gives to his law business in the Supreme Court much f the time he ought to pass in the Senate Chamber. The constant reiteration of the charge that the Senate is a club of rich men is becoming tiresome. It is not true. What is the sense, then, of bringing an nnjast reproach tipon American institutions? The rich men elected to the Senate from time to time are, as a rule, not elected on account of their wealth, but on account of their ability. If it were true that American Legislatures sleet rich men for their riches, thus virtually telling senatorships, the American people would not long allow themselves to be duped by such rascality. But there is usually very little truth in this cry or ooodle. Americans are not toadies to fawn upon rich men ambitions of a political career, nor scoundrels to sell high places to such merj. Most of the rich men who succeed in politics would also succeed if they were poor. TUB JONES-KINO SOW. The Former Publicly Insults the Latter In an Effort to Create a Fight; New York, Jan. 19. A Washington special to the World says: "Last night something of a tensation was created at the barber-shop at Willard's Hotel, when Congressman J. Floyd King, Louisiana, and Cuthbert B. Jones,, of the Bame State, had a personal encounter. It will be remembered that for two years Mr. Jones ftas been making a vigorous war upon King, and was the cause of his defeat for a renomination. The trouble between the two men is of long standing, and found its origin in a family feud of a number of years ago. Last night, before Jones left the barber-shop, he turned to one of the employes and asked if King owed any money there, and advised the shopkeeper not to trust him. King, at the time, was in the 6hop, waiting his turn. Jones went over to where King was sitting and opened conversation with the Congressman by speaking disrespectfully of his father and mother, and using as offensive epithet about the person to whom he was speaking. To all this abuse King made no reply. Mr, Jones repeated his language, and said that He stood ready to prove all that he had said. Still Mr. King remained motionless and silent. Mr. Jones, becoming more enrasred at the extraordinary manner of Kin?, laid his hand in a semi-menacing manner upon the face of the Louisianian, with the hope of provoking him to resent the insults he was heaping upon-him; but there was no response. There is scarcely any comparison between the two men in physical powers. Mr. King is a powerfully built man, weighinar, perhaps, 225 pounds, while Mr. Jones is a small, thin, wiry, nervous little fellow, who will tin the scales at about 115 pounds. Mr. Jones afterward 6aid .to a reporter that he had made every attempt to provoke King to a desire to fisrht to a finish. "I was not armed," continued Mr. Jones, "and never carry any weapons. King has injured me and the good name of my family, and all I ask is the opportunity of reanine satisfaction. 1 have tried every possible way to eause him to resent the ' abase I have riven him. but he is too much of a toward to meet me." The qcarrel broke out last June, when it was resorted in Washington that Mr. Jones was to be appointed United States consul at Callao. The news of this broueht out an account or a feud between the Liddel) and Jones families, in vol Yin fir, it was said, a number of assassinations and murders. The feud began before Cuthbert Tones was born. The Washington Sunday Her aid published an aceount of the troubles, written by Colonel Roberts, a somewhat eceentric character, formerly well known in Washington. The following history of the feud is . told by Mr. Kings The Joneses and Liddells were wealthy planters on the . Blaek river, in Louisiana There was a good deal of bickering between the LMdell, a young and beautiful woman, riding to the Jones plantation, charging Mr. Jonea with circulating a defamatory story, and shooting him in the face. Next day the Joneses waylaid and killed a son of Mrs. Liddell. The Liddells retaliated, and in a pitched battle three or four persons were killed and several .wounded. A sort of compromise was effected after this, but there were occasional encounters between the Jtembers of the two families. Finally the oneses, father and son, boarded a steamer and shot. Uenerai Liiaaell. The murderers were lodged in jail, but that night a party of Liddells frienos took the elder Joues and one son from the jail and lynched them. The other son. Cuthbert Bullit Jones, the man who insulted ?Ir. King, escaped by a desperate leap. The rouble was raopeoed in Washington, in Novem ber, by the publication by Jones of a scathing letter addressed to King, applying to him ali sorts of offensive epithota. Mr. Kine, on Nov. 23, published a card replying to Jones and charg ing that he was an assassin, and declining furth er controversy with him. NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE. Seventeenth Annual Convention List of Of ficers for the Ensuing Year. Washington, Jan. la The National Board of Trade met here to-day in its seventeenth an nu&l convention. About fifty delegates were present, representing the boards of trade, chain bers of commerce and other trade organizations of the principal cities of the country. President Frederick Fraley, of Philadelphia, presided, The convention elected the following officers to nerve during the coming yean President, Hon. Frederick Fraley, of Philadelphia; vice-presi dents, one from each constituent body repre sented. Among them are John A. Gano, Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce; G. M. Howe, Chicago BoaVd of Trade; E. P. Bacon, Mil waukee Chamber of Commerce, John R. Good rich, Milwaukee Merchants' Association; S. T. Bowen. Indianapolis Board of Trade; CL M. Palmer, Minneapolis Board of Trade; J. N. Dolnh. Portland. Ore., Board of Trade, and Rep resentative C. N. Felton, San Francisco Board of Trade. . The discussion of ttre special subjects proiflosed by the different trade organizations for the consideration of the board was then begun. Mr. Tburber. of New York, offered a resolution. which was adopted, advocating the reaffirmation of the position heretofore taken by the board re specting the necessity of national legislation for the prevention of adulterations in food and drugs. nd urging the passage of a national adultera tion act. . The following resolutions on the Interstate sommeree bill, by the Chioago Board of Trade, vers iatussea at length, and were -finally re-

f erred to a eommlttee, consisting of Messrs. Bacon, of Milwaukee; Wetherill, of Philadelphia; Pope, of Chicago; Stern, of New York, and Murray, of Cincinnati, for farther consideration and report: Resolved, That the National Board of Trade favor even congressional legislation as will provide for a uational railway commission, and reapprove toe general terms of the Senate interstate commerce bill presented to the Ferty -ninth Congress, except such clauses of said bill as prohibit the charging of a less rate for a longer than for a shorter haul over railway lines. . Resolved, That the National Board of Trade reaffirms its action in favor of a jost and proper law for the regulation of interstate commerce and providing for a national board of railroad commissioners. Numerous memorials and petitions to Congress in Bupport of the resolutions were read. On motion of Mr. Goodale, of Cincinnati, the following resolution was adopted as a substitute for one submitted by the Milwaukee Chamber of Commeree: Resolved, That the Bureau of Statistics be memorialized to furnish the necessary means and to early take proper steps toward securing more efficient correspondents in agricultural districts, to the end that a greater degree of accuracy be obtained in formulating statistics on growing crops, more especially on those of grain and cotton. A resolution on the subject of a uniform standard for grain measures, submitted by the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, was adopted as follows: Resolved, That a uniform standard of groin measures should be established in the United States and in other countries which export or import grain to any considerable extent. Resolved, That the cental system, representing one hundred pounds avoirdupois, is hereby recommended and urged for general adoption as a domestic and international standard for grain measure. Resolved, That tie Cengresa of the United States ba memorialized by the National Board of Trade to make the eental system the lawful standard of grain measure in this country. The bankruptcy resolution submitted by the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce was taken up, and the following substitute adopted: Resolved, That this National Board of Trade again emphatically expresses the ense of the importance for the tarly enactment of an equitable, uniform and economical national bankrupt law; that we believe the principles of such law are embodied in the bill which has been twice passed by the United States Sen ate. and that the time to enact such a law is when the country is in a state of prosper ty. That a committee be appointed to memorialize Cou gross to act upon the subject as soon as possible, The president appointed the following as tfie committee: Messrs. Janney, of Philadelphia; Baker, of Chicago; Goodale, of Cincinnati; Miller,

ol New York, and McLaren, of Milwaukee. The committee reported back the interstate commerce resolutions with a few amendments, but they did not receive the necessary two-thirds vote and were therefore lost, owing, it is said, to the failure of the new delegates to appreciate the fact that they were merely a reaffirmance of the position taken by the board a year ago. It was thereupon decided not to take action on the question, as it wal thought it might endanger the passage of the pending bill, and it was deemed best that the bill should become a law, even with the long-and-short clause incorporated in it, which was the section to which objection was raised, and to endeavor to secure any modi fications thought necessary at the next session oi Congress. MINOR MATTERS. The Remains of the Late General Haxen Laid to Rest lu Oak Hill Cemetery. Washington, Jan. 19. The funeral of Gen. W. B.

Senator Mahone's Family. Washington Special. The Mahones are catting a wi swath here this season. They live at the Arlington, and Miss Mahone, fresh from a European trip, with lots of French frocks, is one of the season's debutantes. Miss Mahone's name originally wa3 Otelia, commonly shortened to Tely. This is also her mother's name. This year, however, Miss Mahone is Ottilia She has probably been reading Goethe's "Elective Affinities." Mrs. Mahone, short, stout and superbly dressed, is seen at all the Republican houses, but never at Democratic ones. W hen she first came to Washington Senator Mahone was a social pariah. Naturally, she omitted the first calls as far as the Democratic Senators were concerned, which a new Senator's wife is required to make, and since then the way has not been made any smoother for her. The Senator and his wife I have been singularly stricken in their children. All of them, except two or three, died in early infancy. Union Veterans' Union. Washington, Jan. 19.

Senator v oorhees says it is first blood lor the Democrats, and that the Republicans, after taking the vote on Senator, cannot unseat any more Demo crats. He is confident of Judge Turpie s elec tion. There is a feeling of confidence here that Robinson, the Democratic Greenbacker, will soon vote for Turne.

CHOOSING SENATORS.

Mr. Farwell Formally Chosen tt Succeed LoganAddress by the New Senator. Springfield, I1L, Jan. 19. The Legislature met in joint session at noon to-day and canvassed the vote cast yesterday for United States Senator, and Hon. Charles B. Farwell was declared elected. A committee was appointed to notify the new Senator of his election. On entering, Mr. Farwell was received with applause, and being introduced, spoke as follows: "Mr. Speaker, Senators and Representatives By your partiality you have elected me to succeed Illinois' illustrious son, the lamented Logan, and to fill his unexpired senatorial term. I have no adequate words in which to express to you the gratitude I feel for so great an honor. I do not expect to meet your expectations as the successor of such an eminent citizen, gallant soldier and distinguished statesman as the late John A. Logan. I shall, however, content myself if I shall bring to the discharee of the high trust you have committed to me, honest endeavor and faithful service. In my judgment one of the great questions which will claim the attention of Congress will be the labor problem, and to this I shall briefly allude. There is a feeling among many of the artisans of the country that they are not receiving their just proportion of the wealth created by their labor. Having been reared on a farm, nd having devoted the early part of ray life to manual labor, my sympathies are with the laboring man, and any measure that will bring the employer and employe nearer together, and will elevate and lighten the burden of the laboring man, will receive my earnest support. In this grand country of ours, of equal rights and equal opportunities, we have no classes every person's position is made by his own energy, industry, economy and ability. During the four terms I served in the Lower House of Congress, I voted for all measures for the benefit of our soldiers. This 1 shall continue to do. The debt of gratitude which we owe to them we can never pay. It our gallant generals are justly retired with pay at sixty-two years of age, why should not the private soldier be pensioned at the same age? If we are generous to the officer, let us be juet to the private soldier. And now, having said this much, I again exoress to you my profoundest thanks for the undeserved honor you have this day conferred upon me." Senator Farwell leaves to night for Chicago, and for Washington next week. The "Wrangle in New Jersey, Trenton, J an. 19. In the House, this morning, the contested election case-of WaltersJones was taken up, and a scene of great confusion ensued. The Democrats protested against certain rulings of the Speaker, and stopped proceedings by yeHing at the top of their voices. Threats were made to pull the Speaker from the chair. While the yelling continued pages were sent in all directions to bring in absent Democrats. Finally, when all the absentees were brought in, the noise ceased, and Walters (Democrat) was declared entitled to the seat, and was at once sworn in. Then the committee on contested elections, which had a Republican majority, was discharged, and one with a Democratic majority .appointed instead. It will have, the contested case of Hines vs. Hurley to consider. Mr. McDermitt, Democrat, moved to declare the speakership vacant. His colleagues thought this unwise, and a motion to table was carried. McDermitt declared that he would not now vote with the Democrats for Senator. It is net thought, however, that he will persist ia this resolution. With Walters'a vote, the Democrats now have thirty-one votes out of sixty in the House, and their nine votes in the Senate give them forty in all for the United States senatorship. This is one short of the number necessary to elect They expect to get the needed one from the La bor contingent. The House then adjourned for the wees. The Senate will meet to morrow afternoon. when adjournment without organization will probably take place, as usual. New York Republicans Nominate Hrscock. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 19. The caucus of the Republican members of the. State Legislature met again to-night, for the purpose of selecrrete a candidate for United States Senator, to sue ceed Senator Warner Miller. At the two pre vious caucuses four ballots had been taken, and the caucus proceeded to the fifth h allot. The candidates were Senator Miller, Hon. Levi P. Morton and Congressman Frank Hiscock. The ballot resulted as follows: Miller, 46; Morton, 36; Hiscock, 11. This was one more than Miller had before received Mr. Rea, who was absent before, voting for him. From that point to the seventeenth ballot there was no change. Oo the seventeenth ballot, Morton's followers went over in a body to Hiscock, and the vote stood: Miller, 4G-. Hiseock, 47. This would have nominated Hiscock had it not been decided by the combined vote of the Morton and Hiscock men, when the caucus first met, that a majority of all the Republicans-elect in both houses fortyeight votes should be required. On the eighteenth ballot Hiscock again received the solid Morton vote, and Mr.. Frost changed from Miller to Hiscock, thus giving him the necessary forty-eight, and nominating him. Other changes made the ballot stand: Hiscock, 50; Miller, 43. The choice was made unanimous. The nomina tion is equivalent to an election, as the Republ icans have a clear majority on joint ballot.

THE FIRE RECORD. Kokomo's Loss More Serious than First Re ported Rebuilding to Commence at Once. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Kokomo, Ind.," Jan. 19 The destruction of the three-story block at the northeast corner of the public square, last night, proves to be a seri ous loss, and will interfere largely with the business interests of Kokomo for some time. The fire appears to have started in ths sash and door room of Pickett & McNeil's hardware store a room in which there had been no fire for ten years. Everything points to incendiarism, although a plausible motive seems lacking. The burning of two barns in the north part of town, a few moments before the discovery of the flames in the hardware store, points clearly to a scheme to draw the fire department away from the central part of the city, and to the fact that they were engaged in fighting these two fires at the time the last was discovered is attributed not only the loss of the entire block, but the strong belief that it was set on fire by some one. The K. of P. Good Intent Lodge, No. 29, lose everything, including charter, books; banners, Beal and paraphernalia Kokomo Lodge, I O. O. F., lost most of their furniture and their lodge seal, but saved their books and records. W. & H. Styer, stationery, wall-paper and books, lost their entire stock. They will suffer severely. Picket & McNeil, hardware, etc., also lose heavily. Insured. F. M. Duval, druggist, will lose seriously. J. R. Morgan and Frank Trnesdell, dentists, each lost everything about $1,000B H. C. Sellers &Co., grocers, saved their stock by the exertion of the firemen and protection of a fire wall; they will suffer a loss of $1,000 from water and cold. The remainder of the building was occupied as storage rooms by the above firms and S. Davis & Sons' barber shop, G. A. R. Hall, American express office, J. D. Johnson's insurance and loan office. The total loss is estimated at $86,340, with insurance as follows: Glens Falls $2,500 Roval 8.000 Firemen's of Cal $5,000 American of N.J... 2,000 German.

Terke Hactb, Jan. ia Shannon's Bank, the oldost institution of the kind in this part of the State, closed its doors this afternoon by order of Judge Mack, of the Circuit Court, upon petition of Thomas Anderson, who has been conducting the business since the death of Patrick Shannon, in April last The assets are estimated at $50,000, including the real estate at a fair valuation; the liabilities are about $40,000, including $30,000 deposits. The business has been in a bad way for some time, but no doubts as to the bank's stability were entertained by depositors. When Shannon died the deposits were $18,000, and the cash on hand $11,000. His widow was the Sole heir, aud the banking business had been eonducted in her name. The business has been running down, and finally, to-day, with deposits of $30,000, and but $1,500 on hand, the administrator applied to the court to close the doors and wind up the concern. The real estate will have to be sold at a sacrifice, and it is feared the depositors cannot be paid in foil. The bank was established in 1S39 by John Watson, who continued in business till 1855, when Shannon was admitted to partnership. He became sole proprietor in 1861, and managed it until his death. There are several hundred depositors, principally farmers of this County, who had implicit confidence in the institution. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.
