THE LEGISLATUBE. Friday, February 31. The Senate this morning adopted a resolution authorizing the appointment of a special committee of nve Senators to investigate as to the truthfulness of the announcement made by Colonel John W. Ray at a public meeting in this city held on Sunday last, that money was being used to influence Senators in their votes on the bill for the suppression of intemperance, and that sum of $250,000 has been already raised for that purpose. Messrs. Wadge, Hubbard. Neff, Dittemore and Gregg were appointed such committee by the Lieutenant Governor. A number of favorable reports on Senate bills were concurred in, most of them coming from the Committee on Railroads. The Committee on Printing returned Mr. Beardsley’s bill, [S. 245] providing for letting the public printing out to the lowest bidder, with a recommendation that it pass, with amendments adding after the word “bidder” the words, “Provided, however, that said Commissioners shall have the right to reject any and all bids; and provided, also, that if all bids are rejected it shall be competent for the Commissioners to make a contract on personal negotiation if such contract can be made on better terms than the.lowest and responsible bid ;” authorizing the Commissioners to discharge the Superintendent of Printing at pleasure, etc. This bill was made the special order for Tueeday next at 10% o’clock AM. In the House the morning session was occupied with the discussion of the railroad bills, 8 No. 6 and 115, in which Messrs. Wilson of Ripley, Mellette, Woodward, Buskirk, Thayer and others took part, until it was agreed to refer the bills to the Judiciary Committee, who were to invite the railroad committee for consultation in the matter, and to submit their report on Wednesday. Mr. Lenfeety’s Jos. Morgan resolution for $409 out of the Governor’s contingent fund to procure evidence in the case of the State against James McCollough, in the Benton Circuit Court, charged with the murder of N. C. Morgan, was finally passed the House of Representatives. The Speaker lectured against adjournment over Saturday, and constrained the consideration of the insurance Bill, No. 360, which is the special order for this afternoon.

WASHINGTON.

The laveetlf atlon Me solution, Ele. ]Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.!

Washirgton, February 90—The first signal manifestation of displeasure at the Poland report on the floor of the House occurred to-day, when Mr. Wood, of New York, rose to offer his resolution providing that the testimony taken before that Committee be referred to the Judiciary Committee, with directions to report articles of impeachment against Schuyler Colfax, ff warranted by the evidence. An effort was Immediately made on the Radical side to stille the resolution, and prevent Mr. Wood from getting it before the House. This made the issue whether the House would decide to consider the resolution at this time. All tire Democrats rose promptly to second the demand for the yeas and nays, and the vote was taken amid the deepest interest and excitement. All the Democrats who were present voted for the consideration of the resolution, and nearly all the Republicans the other way. Butler was the first prominent Republican who voted aye. He was followed by Farnsworth and Job Stevenson. Much sensation and disgust was occasioned when Bingham, Dawes, Garfield and other Credit Mobilier Congressmen who were in the same boat with Colfax had the hardihood to vote on a question in which they had the deepest personal interest Of course they all voted to shut out the resolution. The result was very close—ayes 106, noee 109. But it was soon palpable that the Republicans were not

content with their record.

Mr. Tyner, of Indiana, wanted to explain his vote, bat all the Democrats rose to object to debate. Finding this impossible, be offered a resolution almost the same in substance as Mr. Wood’s, providing for an investigation by the Judiciary Committee to ascertain if any civil officer merited impeachment. As this evidently referred to and comprehended Mr. Colfax, it was accepted by the JJemocratsand passed withoutadivision. The proceedings of the dsy showed the lurking wish of the Republican members to cover up the delinquencies of their distinguished criminals, and the stern determination ot the Democrats to bold them all to a just responsibility. The excitement to-day was only a foretaste of what may be expected

(X. Y. Cor. St Louis Globe !

Have yon heard of the manner in which

certain notorious detainers manage their blackmailing operations? They prepare an article, which they pretend Is an expose of the shameful conduct of some prominent or well-to-do citizen; pat it in type; taka a proof, and send it by a messenger to the individual named, with the assurance that it will be published in the next issue of their Weekly, unless he be willing to pay the sum named for its suppression. Wealthy merchants and bankers, and distinguished clergymen, are commonly selected as intended victims. The exposes, as may be imagined, consist in details of private profligacy; or of loom moral relations hitherto (of course) unsuspected. The parties in question know, as a rule, that they are outrageously defamed, that there is not a particle of foundation for the charges; and vet they shrink from the idea of the circulation of such stones, lest, indeed, their reputation suffer thereby. Lacking moral courage, they not infrequently give themselves into the hands of the petticoated Jahmeelites by acceding to their infamous demands, and fasten

the yoke upon their necks forever. All men, it may be mildly intimated, are

not wholly immaculate, whatever their fame. Consequently some of thoee to whom the Broad-street women address themselves have (unknown to the black-mailers' been guilty of peccadilloes; and, alarmed at their threats, they try to compound financially for their sins Woodhull and Claflin’s best policy Is to assail prosperous citizens of unblemished reputation.

attacks to mere men of the world, the latter might regard their menaces with contempt, and flatly tell them to go to the devil. Their most promising game generally is clergymen, with whom, it is said, they have been quite successful. They failed with Henry Ward Beecher, and soon after, it is reported, they sent one of their printed slips to Rev. Henry W. Bellows, for his monetary approval. Bellows was set down in the stereotyped fashion as a wolt in sheep’s clothing.'as a pions profligate, as a sacerdotal sinner, etc. Everybody is aware that Bellows is not that sort of man, and moreover is capable of an exalted degree of indignation. Running bis eye over the clear typography^ his face flushed with righteous wrath. He informed the messenger of his opinion of those vile women, adding. If they published any such thing In regard to him that he would make them smart for it He then ad vised the carrier to leave the house rostanter on pain of being kicked out of doors, and the carrier left. Bellows has regretted ever since that he showed so much amiability He belongs to the church militant, and seems to be the right sort of clergyman to deal with Wordhull and Claflin, and black-

A Mnm WlUMtat Mtutelea.

The New York World says: A faro-dealer in this city about four yearn ago was com pel led to relinquish his profession by a pM ralysis of his right forefinger. The nerve cell (in the spinal column) which had supplied the joint had died from overwork, and the muscles of the finger gradually passed away throngh disuse—atrophied, the doctors call it The dead cell in the spinel marrow in some way, by contact or sympathy, destroyed its neighbor, which controlled the same finger on the left hand. The atrophy

the ch< st shonldefs and neck. At the present time there ia not a muscle in those portions of the man's body. The arms bang usless and absolutely flesh less—mere skin and bone. The intercostal muscles are gone, and the man can make no respiratory movements requiring their action; the neck is cseophagus, trachea and spinal Column clad in skin, and that is all, the processes of the latter standing out as plainly as in a skeleton. The head, unsupported, hangs down on the chest, as if it were merely, tied on. By a movement of the loins the man can throw his head over so that it will fall resting on his shoulders and back, but otherwise than thus, mechanically, he can not control its motion. What parts the disease will next attack is a question with the physicians at Bellevue, where the case was shown yesterday, but the result ia hardly doubtful Breathing is done now wholly by the dial phragm, and must cease if that be attacked

Tbe Fashion Iss Prayer.

(CprrefiKjndence Louisville Ojuiicr-Journal ] Tbe Tennessee Senate says, in effect, "we are especially a white man’s government; we are all oi a color in the Senate, hence other than white prayer is superfluous righteousness.” It seems Messrs. Revels et al. (colored), having been invited to open the House on “the shadv side” (.supposed to be on the side where the Hon. Mr. Kelly sits), extended their ministrations to the Senate, which has bat one side to it. The members cenldn’tseeany need of “coloredjprayer,” and got uneasy. Finally Mr. McCall started tbe ball. This Mr. Coulter amended by abolishing prayer entirely. Not wishing to discriminate against the colored article, and thus put a premium on the Caucasian two members concurred with him, but these could not out-vote twenty-three. It may be that Messrs. Revels et al. will take the hint, and give way exclusively to the white ministers, but so far there is no resolution looking positively to that end', and it must be exceedingly annoying to sit for ten or fifteen minntes every morning in a cold dread of being prayed at without any sort of regard to “race, color or previous condition.” It is certainly wearing on the “constitution.”

Tbe Electric Apark

Professor O. N. Rood, of Columbia College, by recent investigations, has proved that if an induction coil be set in action while attached to a Leyden jar, the latter will usually be difccbarged a number of times, giving often twenty or thirty consecutive sparks. But they follow each other so rapidly as to present the appearance of a single spark on: ly, as all these acta are really comprised in an interval of time less than about one fiftieth of a second. The duration of each Ot these individual sparks was found by bin to be nearly instantaneous; that is, they lasted only daring intervals of from one twentythousandth, np to two millionths of a second, according to tne circumstance* Thea« last discharges were again subjected U) fiti analysis, and found to consist of a brilliant component, lasting in some cases only forty billionths of a second of nbqut long enough to allow a ray af light to travel over thirteen yards. This la a quantity twenty-five times smaller than has ever before been obtained in connection with electrical phenomena.
