THE FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS

Senator Edmunds Indicates that the Internal Taxes Should Be Abolished.

Debate on the 'Eailroad Attorney Bill Very "Warm Talk in the House About the Measure Known as the Pleuro-Pneumonia Bill.

THE SENATE.

Senator Edmunds on Internal Taxes The Railroad Attorney BilL Washington, Jan. 23. Mr. Edmunds, in presenting a memorial from manufacturers and business men in Vermont for a repeal or reduc

tion of internal taxes, said that many such petitions had been presented. In presenting this one, and moving its reference to the committee on finance, he wished to urge on that committee the importance of the subject of reducing, if not altogether repealing, this remnant of the unpleasantness of twenty-five years ago. He should be glad to see the country restored to such business conditions as had existed before that time, and to have the resources of the government obtained entirely from importations and

the little incidental matters of land, etc., instead of keeping up an army of internal' revenue

tax-gatherers, inspectors and all that tort of thing. He hoped the committee would take the matter into serious consideration. Referred to

the committee on finance.

Mr. Mahone presented numerous petitions from Virginia manufacturers of and dealers in

tobacco, for the abolition of the tobacco tax, and

submitted some remarks in support of them.

On motion of Mr. Hoar, leave was granted to

the committee on privileges and elections to sit

durincr the sessions of the Senate.

Bills were reported from committees and

placed on the calendar as follows: For secnr jne statistics of the extent and value of the fish

Jnar interests of the United States; fixing the sal-

tnes of the Commissioners of Education and abor at $3,000: to incorporate the National

academy of Science.

Mr. riumb offered a resolution directing the "Secretary of the Interior to report whether there

any rule in the Pension Office denying a hear-

In e to claimants who have petitioned Congress for relief. He based the resolution on a letter

which he had read, informing the claimant that,

as he had applied to Congress for relief, he had

"forfeited" his right to a hearing in

the Pension

Bureau. Laid aside without action,

The act granting pensions to dependent par

ents of soldiers, etc., having been returned by

the House as asked yesterday by Mr. Hoar,

who had moved to reconsider the vote passing it

-Mr. Piatt stated that the motion to reconsider

had been made at his request The bill pensioned

survi vors of the Black Hawk, Seminole and other

Indian wars. That he did not object to, but he

rished to -refer to some statistics as to the

an: GUI., ihsc the bill was going to require, and to

comDare it with the amount which it would re

nuire for Union soldiers. Ho would do that

soon.

The Senate then proceeded to consideration of

a bill to prohibit members of Con tress from

actinc as attorneys or employes for railroad com

panics holding charters or having received grants of land or pecuniary aid from the United

States, and Mr. Berry addressed the Senate in advocacy of the bill. He did not believe that a

Senator or member drawing $10,000 or $20,000 a Tear from the Union Pacific or Northern Pacific

t ailroad company could act and vote impartially

on the Pacific funding bill or the .Northern fa-

dflo land-forfeiture bill

Mr. Teller said that he was prepared to vote

againstthabill, notwithstanding newspaper clam

or and notwithstanding the effort made to attract

attention to the fact that the Senate was a body

of lawyers, and the charge that Senators were

devoting to the practice of law for railroad cor

rorations the time they should devote to the

public service. Quacks on politics had filled the

public press with attacks on what they called

the "House of Lords. He realized the

fact that the Senate not representing

public sentiment, not representing the great musses of the people, but representing the States

-had ceased to be a popular body in the estimation of the people. He understood that there' was abroad in the country a new and determined effort to break down the Senate, to destroy its usefulness, and thus eventually compel its abolition. It could not be abolished while Delaware and Rhode Island insisted on the right given thutn when the Constitution wns adopted, without o revolution and the absolute destruction of the Constitution. The oeuate would continue to exist. He did not believe that such attacks on the Sonate as were coucealed within the bill were calculated to strengthen itwith the people. Mr. Wilson, of Maryland, made an argument in favor of the original bill Mr. Frye here took the floor in order, as he said, to give a piece of information. He read an Associated Press telegram just received from Eastport, Me., statins that the winter school of herring had struck in to the American shore, and

that about twenty-five Encllsh boats and vessels

were there fishing, i:fein the shore. line, and that, meanwhile. th English cruiser Middleton was cruising between E.istport and St Andrews,

ready to aeiz any American fisherman that

micht venture beyond the dead-line. That was

all. ha said.

Mr. CaII argued against the bill. He moved

to amend the bill by striking ont the second

eertion. which provides for criminal prosecution.

Mr. Morgan said the bill described an offense

and called it a "misdemeanor," while the Sena

tor fmra Kentucky knew perfectly well that,

under the Constitution, no member of Congress

-could be arrested for a misdemeanor while he was in attendance in Congress, or an his wav to

or from Washington.

Mr. Call And he could not be arrested at

liorne, because the offense would have been com

mitted iu the District of Columbia. " Mr. Morgan Of course he could not. This

liill is a response to mere clamor, and did not

eorn from the clear judgment of the Senator's

Mr. Beck's able mind. Amendments to the bill were offered by Mr.

IMatt and Mr. Hoar. The latter s&id that the

Dill was aimed at a state of things not existing

and not likely to exist lie was willing to go as

far as to provide that, when a land-grant rail road company had legislation before Congress

io Senator or member who bore the relation to

that company of counsel and client should take

part in that legislation. And that was the pur

6ose of the amendment which he had offered.

At tna Ciose or mr. Hoar s speech, two meg

ages from the President were presented, one

vetoing the rill granting a pension to Benjamin

Obekiah, an J the other vetoing the bill for the relief of H. K. Beldiug. The messages were laid oh the table. Mr. Hoar withdrew his motion to reconsider the vote by which the dependent parents' pension bill was passed yesterday. He explained that he had an objection to the clause about dependent parents, but he did not wish, by offering In amendment, to imperil the final passage of he bill. The Senate then adjourned until to-morrow. THE HOUSE.

prevent its spreading among the vast cattle nerds of the West

Mr. Swinburne, of New York, opposed the

bill, and while disclaiming any personal feeling

against the officials of the Agricultural Depart

ment characterized the report or the Commis

sioner upon pleuro-pneumonla as unreliable and

umruiniui, ana aenounceu me wmei ui iub Bureau of Animal Industry (Dr Salmon) as a would-be national butcher, and as either deceit

ful or ignorant The chairman of the commit

tee on agriculture had been imposed upon by those officials, but while he would be the last man to charge that gentleman with any desire to deceive the House, he could not conceive why

that gentleman had shown so much feeling on

the floor, and pursued so arbitrary a course in

committee.

Mr. Warner, of Ohio, opposed the measure,

declaring that be had never known a bill which

so utterly ignored all constitutional limitations

of the general government and so completely trampled upon all State authority. He believed

that any State had a right to resist such legislation, and predicted that the Supreme Court would never decide it to be constitutional The

farmers could attend to their own cattle better

than some fool in authority in Washington

could. Yet. the theory UDon which the bill was

based was that a man picked qd somewhere

and installed in a handsomely-furnished office in Washington could manage the stock farms of

the country better than the farmers themselves

could manage them. Why not extend the pro

visions of the bill to the hog cholera and the

chicken gape?

Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, argued that there

was no observance of constitutional rights or

constitutional limitations in the bill from one

end of it to the other. He protested Btrongly

against that provision which, he stated, permit

ted the agents of the Agricultural Department to enter any man's homestead, and, above all law and all constitution, to range there at will.

While admitting the power of the general gov

ernment to regulate commerce, he denounced as

an unconstitutional, officious intermeddling with the rights of the citizens and the States the provision authorizing the President to quarantine districts within a State.

Mr. McAdoo, of New Jersey, protested, on be

half of States' rights and local self-government,

against the federal government remedying evils

over which the Constitution gave it no author

ity. He would rather see all the cattle herds in the country perish than have the cardinal

principle of local self-government stabbed here by this bill. The proposition was to authorize

the President to usurp the powers of the State, and to make him superior in a State to the State government itself.

Mr. Carey, of Wyoming, thought that the sub

ject of extirpation of pleuro-pneumonia was one over which the general government must assume

jurisdiction, and he believed that it had the

constitutional power to do so, inasmuch as it was

one with which the State authorities were unable to cope. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, made a constitutional argument in support of the bill, contending that the article of the Constitution upon which the opponents of the measure relied to show its unconstitutionality had reference only to criminal prosecutions, and did not apply to a question involving the preservation of public health. Salus populi supreina lex; and he had never known an occasion when public health required the exercise of federal power that that power had not been exercised. On motion of Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, an amendment was adopted increasing from $3,000

to $3,500 the salary of the chief of the bureau of animal industry. On motion or Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, an amendment was adopted authorizing the commissioner to employ a force within the limits of the appropriation made by Congress, provided that no debt against the government shall be created under the provisions of this bilL Mr. Swinburne, of New York, offered an amendment providing that the force employed shall include three experts of scientific attainments and not less than six years' actual experience in sanitary and pathological work, especially in the investigation of contagious diseases, and to aid these experts in their investigations ail necessary eid shall be rendered by the Commissioner of Agriculture. Mr. Hatch opposed the amendment Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, favored the bill, and urged its speedy passage. Mr. Swinburne's amendment was adopted 114 to 25. On motion of Mr. O'Hara. of North Carolina, an amendment was adopted requiring the experts provided for in Mr. Swinburne's amend

ment to report what means should be taken to

extirpate hog cholera.

lhe committee then rose, without further ac

tion.

As the legislative day of Thursday was still

continuing, unanimous consent was reauired for the holding of the weekly night session for the consideration of pension bills, and Mr. Wallace,

of Louisiana, objecting, the House adjourned

until to-morrow.

THE RECORD OF THE COURTS.

28:

Supreme Court Hon. Byron K. Elliott, Chief -justice. . The following opinions were rendered Jan.

PLAT USER SURVEYOR. 12419. Thomas Waltmau vs. Herman Rind et al. Brown C. C. Affirmed. Elliott, C. J. In 183G Wm. Snider owned a tract of land on which he desired to locate a village. The plat was not executed as the statute required, and was not good as a statutory dedication. The plat was founded on an erroneous description of the land, and this error materially changed the dimensions and location of the streets and alleys, and the user by the public did not correspond with the streets and alleys as designated on the plat As the attempted statutory dedication was invalid the location and dimensions of the streets and alleys were fixed by user which -began as early as 1840, and as so fixed they must be regarded as now existing. The surveyor in 1879 was not called upon "to establish, relocate or perpetuate corners." but "to make a survey of the lots, streets, alleys and lines of the town of Georgetown." His decision hence was not conslu6ive. It is only conclusive when in the first instance it is not appealed from. TELKGSAPH COMPANY PENALTY ACT OF 1885. 12870.

The demand was withdrawn In order to allow various amendments to be offered. After some discussion the bill was finally passed by a vote of yeas 135, nays 72.

PrfoBl and lipcal. J. S. Moore is writing a series of articles on the railway question, the first of which was published in the New York Times on Jan. 24. Dan Aired, conductor on the Chicago & Indiana Coal road, has been appointed general yard-master of the company at Fair Oaks. ' The decree for the foreclosure sale of the I., B. & W. road is ready to be effered to the court, and the sale will probably occur iu the latter part of March. ' . An opera company which travels with 350 trunks has not lost one piece of baggage since it went on the road. The fact is a credit to the management as well as to the railroads. N. K Elliott, superintendent of train service on the Vandalia, who had an interest in the St Louis, Kansas City & Colorado road, has sold out his interest for a handsome sum of money. There is more or less talk about consolidation of the Erie, Ohio & Mississippi, Cairo, Vincennes & Chicago and St Louis, Arkansas & Texas roadg, with a fair chance of its being carried out Mason D. Benson, who, for some twenty-fire years, has been treasurer of the Fitchburg road, has sent in his resignation on account of needed rest The directory have its acceptance under consideration. F. H. Smith, who represents the Lackawanna

line in the Peoria district, is in the city hunting cars of which there still seems to be a scarcity. The C, I., St L. & C. people were yesterday several hundred cars short of filling their orders. The Vandalia is to adopt the Waters-Sweeney patent telegraph switch at all their important telegraph stations. The one which was put in at Indianapolis a few months ago does excellent service, and is a great convenience iu many ways. The relations between District Passenger Agent Martin, of the CI.'. St L & C. and

District Passenger Agent Fisher, of the C H. & D. are considerably strained, and litigation of certainly an amusing if not serious character is in prospect With the LaCrosse division completed, the Chicago & Indiana Coal road is 144 miles in length. The coal traffic of the line is now reashing some ninety cars northward per day and steadily -growing. Next week the company put on another regular train. Representatives of the Pennsylvania lines, the Hocking Valley, the Baltimore & Ohio and the Pittsburg & Lake Erie met on Thursday, in Pittsburg, and agreed upon a plan to remove the inequality of freight on coal from the Hocking Valley and Pittsburg districts. One more Reading official's head is off. Henry McKay, for many years treasurer of the Reading Coal and Iron Company, was displaced on Thursday by William A. Church. At the same time Austin Corbin was elected president, and William R. Taylor, secretary. The funeral services of D. M. Kendrick, the

late general passenger agent of the New York Central road, will be held at the Terre Haute House, Terre Haute, at 2 p. m., Sunday. A number of the friends of the deceased here are

arranging to attend the funeral. The CL, H. & D. announce that they will today commence to sell what are known as the week-end tickets. The commercial men should avail themselves of this favoritism on the part of the roads and thus encourage the general passenger agents to do even better things by them. An observing railroad man last evening remarked that the engrafting in the interstatecommerce bill of a provision that prohibits the appointment of a railroad man as one of the commissioners was wholly unnecessary, as no railroad man who has the ability to fill the position of commissioner could be commanded at a salary of $7,500 per annum. Eugene Zimmerman, vice-president of the C, H. & D. company, has been asked by railroad king Huntington to turn his entire attention to pushing to completion the northern division of the Chesapeake & Nashville road, of which Mr. Zimmerman is president. The C. & N. will intersect the new Louisville Southern road, and its northern terminus will he Cincinnati. John Egan, general passenger agent of the C,

I., St L. & C. , spent yesterday in the city, investigating the cutting of rates that is going on to Baltimore and Washington. Everything indicates that the Pennsylvania and the C, H, & D. are getting the lion's share of this business by eutting rates, and it may become necessary for the C, L, St. L. & C. to take a hand in the rate war. January has been an unfortunate month for the L., N. A. & C. people. Several engines have been damaged through plunging into snow drifts and into eaeh other. At one timo last week

there were seven engines off the track in a distance of ten miles, but matters are again moving smoothly and their trains running on time. But the company is greatly in need of power, and next week, their new engines will begin to arrive. The statement of the secretary of the Baltimore & Ohio Relief Association for the month of December shows that there were 5 accidental deaths, 314 accidents, 563 caseB of natural sickness, and 7 natural deaths, making a total of 928 beneficiaries. . During the month $22,191.63 was expended. This association is doing a grand work, and it seems unfortunate that the association which the management of the Pennsylvania lines proposed to establish was blighted before the benefits from such an organization had been tested. C. C. F. Bent, superintendent, writes Eastern

parties interested in tbe Ohio & Mississippi road very encouragingly about its future. He thinks the road has entered an era of good management, and the road, as its weekly statements show, is earning a little more than operating expenses and fixed charges. But the mouths of stockholders need not begin to water with the expectations of dividends for some years to come, no matter how good and economical the management may be. A handsome sum of money could be well expended in improving the road-bed and increasing the equipment

Travel over the Delaware division of the Philadelphia. Wilmington & Baltimore road is so heavy that the Pennsylvania Company have decided to double-track a large portion of the line. The Philadelphia Inquirer says: "The prevailing sentiment is that the work will be continued from time to time until the track reaches from Wilmington to Cape Charles City, a distance of two hundred miles. The work will be comparatively easy, as the present road is so dotted with side-tracks several miles long at a stretch, that they will only have to be connected to make the second track from Bear Station to Harrington." An attempt to get tbe freight agents of the eastbound lines out of Indianapolis together, yesterday, was a failure. Notwithstanding the fact that this was the third attempt in the present week, there was no Quorum. Competitors of the CL, St L. & P. and of the Wabash allege that these two roads are cutting rates, and . tbey demand that the C, St. L. & P. and the Wabash show their

colors. If they are not cutting rates, they want the agents to renew their pledge to strictly maintain rates. This is all very good, but at no time for two years past have rates in all directions, both freight and passenger, been more unsettled than at the present time. Agents who are prone to cuts rates have taken the weakness in the pools, or talked-of weakness, as being a license to renew rate wars. The railway mail service is meeting with considerable difficulty in finding new appointees aWe or willing to cope with the work. The Philadelphia Record says: "Many seek appointment under the impression that the position of railway postal clerk is a 'soft snap,' but having their eyes opened to the really arduous duties that await them and the meagre salary attached they resign in disgust to seek easier and more fruitful occupations. The position, if the applicant fulfill the requirements of the service, becomes easy to a certain degree only after a long period of hard study and application. It is anything but a sinecure. To reach the top of the ladder the aspirant must make up his mind to vigorous application, and must be possessed of a reasonably good education at the start The Bee-line people are on the alert for new feeders as well as their competitors. The

Cleveland Leader says: "The Bee-line has just completed an important contract with President Wing, of the St Louis & Chicago road for aa interchange of business. By its terms the Beeline will carry tbe traffic of the St Louis & Chicago from Litehield, 111., to St Louis. President Wing, who has been io the city for several days on this business, has returned home. The St Louis Ss Chicago is a new line, extending from Litchfield northward to Springfield. The llae will, it is said, be extended this year from,

Springfield to Peoria, and will probably be continued, later on, to Joliet From Litchfield a branch will, also, be constructed southward to some valuable coal-fields. The road wili be a valuable feeder and connection of the Bee-line."' The L., N. A. & a people will lengthen their lines and strengthen their stakes by building an extension easterly to a connection with the Chesapeake & Ohio, and another extension to a connection with the Cincinnati Southern at Danville, Ky. Negotiations are now in progress looking to raising the funds to build the extensions. The Adams Express Company has negotiated a contract with the Philadelphia & Reading railroad to take possession of the express business on that road, and all its leased lines and branches, on the 1st of February. The Reading ha3 handled its own express business for the past twelve years. The Adams Express Company, by this deal, acquires fifteen hundred miles of territory in Pennsylvania heretofore operated as a railroad express. Ex-Congressman L. F. Watson, who was once president of the Erie road, is credited,' by the Erie Dispatch, with introducing tbe first interstate-commerce bill in Congress nine years ago. The Dispatch claims that the one that has just passed is, with the exception of the commission and the policy clauses, identical, almost word for word, with the original Watson bill of 1878, which was introduced as a means of restraint on the Standard Oil Company. There is considerable speculation in railroad

circles over the announcement that the great Chicago firm of Armour & Co. has a contract with the Pennsylvania Company to carry dressed beef frem Chicago to New York and Philadelphia; that the contract has more than four years yet to run, and that it involves several millions of dollars. The questions to be decided are whether the interstate-commerce bill will impair the validity of this contract; whether the existence of such a contract will prevent the Pennsylvania Company from charging higher rates to other shippers, and whether merchants can make long contracts with railroads before the act that will practically nullify such a contract shall becomea law. In endeavoring to get up a sensation over a rumor that an express robbery was contemplated of the messengers running over the eastern division of the CL, L, St L. & C, the Enquirer says that the express robbers had selected a spot near the tunnel to operate where the track was in bad condition. This statement caught

the eye of Chief-engineer Morris, of the Biff Four, and he states that at this very point, and for miles on either side, the track is the best to be found in the system, which means that it is as near perfect as railroads are constructed. The rails weigh sixty-Beven pounds to the yard, , and rest on cross-ties as thick as they can well

be laid, and it is not unusual for the express train to run over it at a speed of a mile a minute.

Effort to Set Aside a Foreclosure. Chicago, Jan. 28. A bill to set asid9 the foreclosure sale of the Plymouth, Kankakee & Pacific railroad, which line has long been known as part of the Indiana. Illinois & Iowa road,

was filed here to-day in the federal Circuit Court by Robert B. Ennis and others. They ask that the sale be declared void, and that the property, which is worth at least 6300,000, be resold, this time for the benefit of all the bondholders according the bill. The foreclosure was made June 12, 1877, under a mortgage for $3, 600, 000. Notwithstanding that only $535,045 was due, the road was acquired for $4,000 by J. C. Cnshman. He claimed to be acting for the bondholders, but failed to perfect the sale until February, 1881. Then he, in company with J. t). Harvey and Frank P. Hawkins, who, in the meantime, bought up a majority of the bonds for almost nothing, had the sale confirmed. The road was immediately turned oyer to the newly organized Indiana, Illinois & Iowa line, of which Harvey

was president The petitioners claim to be able now to prove that the conveyance was accepted from Cushman, with full knowledge of how he secured possession. abash Tickets In Litigation. St. 'Xouis, Jan. .28. Railway passengerticket scalpers are selling in this city large numbers of the old issue of Wabash tickets, over which there will be a deal of litigation before it is finally decided whether they are worthless or

not The tickets are those issued when Solon Humphreys was president of the Wabash, and put out in large blocks during the war on rates incident to the entrance of the Wabash into Chicago, and afterward repudiated under the receivership of Humphreys & Tutt A large number of the tickets are held by St Louis brokers, who now claim that they can be used, on the ground that the tickets were a legitimate purchase and a prior lien upon the Wabash. They were repudiated upon the ground that they were issued by the original Wabash company, which has nothing to levy upon to compel their redemption. The brokers will ask Judge Gresham to decide whether or not they can be now used.

The eminent and celebrated Dr. (Jlessner write The Kaskine-Co. Dear Sirs: "The first greatest

successes I had with Kaskine were in chills and fever, malaria, nervous debility, rheumatism, dyspepsia &od liver diseases, aud I considered at tbat time it was undoubtedly the best medicine ever discovered, but I '

was even then unfamiliar with its really wonderful powers in ouring all the other germ diseases and dis-'

orders, particularly where the blood had become diseased or impoverished and the digestion impaired. Strictly speaking, Kaskine is the only blood purifier we have. I use it also very largely with unfailing sue cess in all diseases peculiar to' women and children In over three hundred cases 1 have cured there haf never been the slightest bad effect following its us r

and it is far superior to any tonic or erve medicine ever known, to the medical profession." Very truly yours, L. M. Glissneb, M. D.. . -

A Deserter from the Army. There were more cases of drmkenness than

usual before the Mayor yesterday morning. Among them was a stranger to the Mayor and officer. He gave the name of David Ward, and, with the others, was fined. Being unable to pay his fine, he wag ordered to the work-house. He was being taken out to the patrol wagon, when he asked to speak to Sergeant Travis. His request was granted, and he said he was a deserter from the regular army, and would rather be returned to duty than be sent to the workhouse. His right name, he said, waa Elwood Wallace, and he belonged to Company B, Third Artillery, Newport, Ky. He was not sent to the work -house, and in the afternoon Sergeant Travis delivered him over to the commanding officer at the Arsenal. '

A New Humane Law Proposed. Within the past few days there have been a number of aggravated cases of cruelty to animals by young men hiring vehicles from livery stables. Mayor Denny, wnen they have been brought before him, has given the offenders $20 and costs in each case. The Humane Society, aided by the Mayor, has prepared a bill, for presentation to the Legislature, which, if passed, will give the society a chance to work effectively against cases of this and similar kind. The difficulty with the present law Is that nobody cares to prosecute.
