Tb Lrat Objectionable Portion, ns Offered by Mr. Ill'cock, a Com plete Failure. Special to the Sentinel. Waehisoto, Jan. CTho Ilonse has already denionatxatcdthat it will jefase follow the lead of Mr. Randall in the plan he proposes to cut down the Income of tbe Government He wanta to abolish the internal revenue eyetem. On Monday an effort was made in that direction, under the leadership of Mr. HIsccck, a New York protectionist, acd the mrst objectionab'e part of Mr. Randall's scheme that of removing the tax oa whisky was included. Simply the proposition to take the tax off cf fruit brandies and tobacco was proposed, and it was defeated by a very decided majority, and much to the surprise of those who saw the proposition combat ted. It is thought Mr. Randall will not try to advance his hobby in th:t House, nor in the next, either, unless he is given to utderstand that there Las b?n a great change by the change of Congresses. The idea of abolishing the tax on fruit brandy has long been broached in Congress, and 13 championed by temperance people in some localities. It will (imply enable the farmer to get a market for his surplus fruit tobe manufastuied into spirits. lie can not do so now, becaass the tax places the domestic fruit brandy at a figure almost as high as the imported, which, being superior in quality, occupies the market The members from tbe Carolinas and Virginia, from portions of New York, New Jersey and Northern Ohio, are for it regardless of party. If Mr. Randall's plan fail's after be'ng dissected, and the objectionable features obliterated, his friends fear he will fail altogether. The subject has excited a good deal of comment and some feeling. X-SENATOR II'DONILD. Tti Washington Star on His Cabinet Pro. p-ct hat Senator Yoorheea and Others Say. Special to the Sen Quel. Washington-, Jan. G To-night's Star takes the Indiana Democrats to tak for not giving ex-Senator McDonald a mora fervent and entliasiastic support for a Cabinet position. It says that, while the party in that 8 late seems to be unanimous in its indorsemen, it indorse! him much as it did at the Chicago Convention. In every Sate thero isaf-el-ing tha1: he should be given a place in the Cabine, it states, and it is generally understood that be will be called to a place in the Cabinet It quotes a gentleman who claims to have had a conversation with Mr. McDonald very recently, who eays the latter desires the Secretaryship of War, since Garland is to be Attorney General. So far McDonald has been given no indication from Cleveland personally as to who would be aked to take a portfolio In the Cabinet. Senator Yoarhees says the party la Indian is solid for McDonald, and that the Indorsement of him is Tery earnest, Colonel Dies: Bright says every respectable Democrat Tn the State is cordially for McDonald for a Cabinet pojitiorj. MEXICAN TENSION BILL. It Ja tn Oreat Jeopardy From the AmUtj of Members to Defeat It In Souih I'nderhand Manner. erecal to the Sea Unci. Washington, Jan. 6 As the time approaches when a vote must be taken upon the Mexican War Pension bill much nervousness is perceptible, not only in Congress, but throughout the CQuntry. Members are receiving letrczn, telegrams and petitions by the thousand dally. It is well tbat there is a tool deilof cgttation oa the subject, lor the interests of the bill are being very mcch jeopar 3:zi?d by delay and by amendments. Theie is quite a large number of members po&sibly a majority of them who want to see the bill defeated. It is charged that Mr. Tornshend, cf Illinois, who has charge cf the bill on tbe ßoor cf the Houe, and who openly favori it, is opposed 10 the measure, and is secretly trying to defeat it by delays and amendment. Few there are in any section ot the country who can a fiord to antagonize the measure in tbe s'.iape it is, because it very icateri.illr interests every saldier who tmed In eithtr the Mexican
war for sixty days or the late war for six months. So it is by strategy that the d?feit is to be effected a kind of maneuver which will leave tbe people of a Cotgreaslonal dstrict m doubt whether their icember favorel or opposed it The bill is in great jeopardy now. INTER-STATE COMMERCE RILL.
Parliamentary Tactlt-s of the Thinnest Klnrt Kmployed to Defeat Doth It and the Mexican Pension HU I Dodging the issne. Special to tue Sentinel. Was ping ton, Jan. C An impression prevails among Western statesmen here that an Inter-State Commerce bill of some character will be passed within the next eight week?. There is but little difference between the opinions ot those in either Houae who favor the measure ai to what it should be. It is to be somewhat in the form of the original proposition, the execution of the law being in the hands of the Commissioner. About tbe same tactics are being emplojed to defeat this bill as that pitted against the life o! the Mexican War pension bill. Amendments that are silly and delays that are ridiculous are proposed by those who can not come out and fairly faco the issue. It looks a little more encouraging for a final vote on the Inter State than the Mexican War bill, however. From the manner in which these two bills are being hi ud.Vd one is led on the spot to conclude that thn is pretty near aj much science in dodging issues nowadays as there is in treating them with intelligence. From a political view point there can be no doubt of it. NATIONAL NOTES. The Oregon Central Laml Forfeiture Bill fewaiin Court Martial Sales of Postage Stamps, Ktc. Washington, Jan. 0. A bill has just passed the Senate forfeiting the lands of the Cregon Central Railroad Company, which applies to such portions only of the lands as lie adjacent to and roterminus with the uncompleted portions of the line. After declaring such lands forfeited it provides that persons already actually settled thercoo tball have the preference of title thereto under the homestead laws. The price even cf tbe numbered sections of the forfeited lands is reduced to $1.25 per ncre. The bill also repeals the act of March 3, 1S75, which permitted actual settlers on the lands subsequently forfeited to locate eteerchero without extra cost to m amount equal to their first holding. Te bill cow returra to the houee, baviEg originated there. In its present shape it difiera materially from the form in which it came to the Senate, the House bill having declared forfeited all the lands gTP.nted the company. Yery little progress was made in the Swaim court martial to day. Nearly every question asked was objected to by one sids or the other, and what little information was obtained had no special interest The sale of postage stamps for the third quarter cf 1SS4 were 10.G 17,747, or 573.002 less than the coi responding period of 1SS3 Dr. Cornelius R. Agoew, ol New York, his resigned from the Board of Indian Commissi ols. Mr. F. C. Morehead, President of tbe National Cotton Planters' Association, called on the President to day, with S?nator Gibson, and forrratly invited him to be present at the opening of the Universal Cotton Convention, to be held in the grand hall of the World's Expasition.at New Orleans on February 10, under the auspices of the National Cotton Planters' Association. Tae President evinced much interest in toe groat convention, and said it had been his Intention and earnest desire to visit New Orleans during the exposition, snd it would adbrd him additional pleasure to be present at the opening of tbe convention. He therefore accepted the invitation to aitend, unless official duties intervened to prevent his going. President Robert Garrett, of the P. and O Road, tendered the President his private car for his party, with such special railway facilities as may be needed. The statement that the Preaident wou'd vipit the exposition on the löth inst. was a mistake, as it will be impossible for bin to leave Washington this month. RONOED WHISKY. The Secretary of the Treanry 8npports the Attorney c;enrat' Decision, Washington, Jan. C The Secretary of the Treasury this afternnon signed and promulgated a regulation to enforce the recent decision of the Attorney General in refernee to the bonded period of whieky. The principal amendment of existing regulations consists cf striking out the words "thirty dajs" in the exportation bonds now in use, and substituting such time, not exceeding sevn months, as in the opinion of Collectors may be reasonably required in the process of exportation, Including bona fide and nece9Mry delays in the warehouse caused bp operations incidental to exportation snb Fej'.ient to tbe filing of the bond or in promptly teenring ocean transportation to the vert of destination. Collectors are required to see that the declaration of intention to export is vxpMclt and in sood faith; that t!ae ex rort stamp." are raid for, taxes on deficiencies paU, and bonds with ample security furnished. The regulations al?o require Collector! to lift and report monthly all spirits waich bave remained in warehouse more than three years, except such as are covered by tranportaticn or exportation bonds, in the condition of hich thera has been no breach. Trade and Labor Notes. Colimecs O., Jan. C The information from the Hocking Valley is that all is quiet amcng the striking miners. Delegates have been selected to the State Convention to convene in this city to-morrow, and at some
points they have been instructed to stand for a seventy cent rate for mining. PirrsKcao, Jan. C. In addition to those already reported, tbe following mills have resumed or will start during this week: Chess, Cook & Co.'s nail mill; Wilson, Walker it Co.'s iron mill; Jones & Laughlin's bar mill; Sieger A Nimick's sheet mill, and the Black Diamond steel works of Park Bro3.

The Burke manufactory has received orders which will keep the works in operation for a year. GENERAL FOREIGN NE ITS
Ihn Pull-Mall Gazette ou Chamberlain's Speech at DlrralngUam. London, Jan. C The Fall-Mall Gazette criticises the speech of Chamberlain, President of the Ibard of Trade, at Birmingham, last night, and characterizes the speech as "Laying down a programme consisting of old radical fads." The Gazette, however, thinks Chamberlain can be forgiven much for bis declaration "that the English democracy will stand shoulder to shoulder throughout the world to maintain the honor and integrity of the Rmpire." Chamberlain's expression of regret at Germany's annexations cf territory in the Pacific is considered aafortunate. "The people," it says, "are not irritated at Bismarck, but At the inertia of the Kogliah Government" The Gazette ridicules Chamberlain's declaration against tbe destrnction of Egypt's independence, which it contemptuously describes as the independence of marionettes." Trance Opposing Kanioti'n Scheme. Bini.iN, Jan. C Several cf the Powers are strongly urging the German Government to publish the sixth conference protocol in order to enlighten the public with reference to the isolated position France b:n adopted in opposing the American neutrality project, and thereby impeding the progress of humanitarian and commercial interests in the district, in which France has only the feame intemt ss the other Powers. The American Government has instructed its representative. K&sson. to persevere diligently in upholding the Americna scheme, the adoption of which is desired equally by England and Germany.

GENERAL NEWS.
Wright fclicd Some Ldght oa the Cincinnati October Election How He Appointed Deputy Marshal and Armed Thein With Revolvers Furnished by tho Republican Committee Renting of the Pews in Plymouth Church-Bsecher Pleased With tho Result. WRIGHT'S INVESTIGATION. Some Interesting Testimony Appointments Made Without Aiy Itegard to Law to Mibei Partisan Purposes. CiyciicxATr, Jan. C The Congressional Committee, examining into ths appointment of United States Deputy Marshals in this city at the last October election, resumed the examination of Wright this morning. The general method of questioning was to read the names of the Deputies appointed, one by one, and ask the Marshal if he knew these men, where they lived, who recommended them, and then Mr. Foilett would ask If the witness did not know they were thievfs, murderers, ex convicts, just out of jail or the work-house, charged with crimes, etc. The witness in the most cases could not recollect the persons aeked about nor who recommended them, but said it was possible some were appointed who were not recommended at all, though his aim was to get men qualified for the work. In reference to one colored man, he aid he knew he was reported to be a bad man, but did not believe the reports well founded. At any rate, he was a man well qualified to meet the emergency which called fjrthe appointment of Deputies, viz. : the danger of repeating. He was aware that some of his men were net strictly pious, but in making appointments he had regard to the elements his Deputies would have to deal with. He had never hear! a single instance where any Deputy had in any way prevented any citizen from casting a legal vote. Mr. Foilett asked him if he did not know some of his Deputies were keepers of crap houses and low dives. ' The witness said he did not know the meaning of those terms. In the appointment of so many men in such a short time, it would be difficult to get all with a perfectly clef n history. A man may have been In tbe penitentiary, and still be a good man for Depnty Marshal at an election. Foilett Yes, I suppose a man may have been in jail yesterday and be a saint to-day. Wright A man may have been In jail yesterday and bave been a saint yesterday. The witness repeated that he had made a great effort to get good and efficient men, and most of them were each. Mr. Foilett asked how many of the G00 pistols had been returned 7 The witness said between 300 and 40). "Still," said Mr. Foilett, you had good men, who retained nearly half yourrevclvers." The witness said he expected to get more of these revolvers yet He admitted having appointed three Deputies to serve in Reading, which was not a city of 20.000 inhabitants, and from which he had no written application. In the witnesses view of the law, he had power to sond general Deputies to each voting place in the Southern Ohio District, but would not b? entitled to allow them pay for snc'j service. lie denied having ixad consultations with Butterworth and Brown, or with the Republican Committee, except in a casual way. la general he followed his own judgment. He denied that there was a plan agreed on, after consultation, to appoint as many ex-policemen as possible, which was afterward aVandored and tbe other plan adopted. He took some advice about ibe appointment from E.G. Rathbone, ot the Pension Department, who was also a general Deputy of his, havi'-c: been appointed some year or more ac-o. Examination of this witness not ended. Mr. Foilett asked if witness appointed any Deputy Marshal who was"! a Democrat, knowing him to be such, without a stipulation that he should vote and woik for at least one Republican. Witness replied he made no fuch stipulation. He appointed one Democrat, W. II. Adams, in the Twentieth Ward, expecting him to vote the entire Democratic ticket He appointed other Democrats, bat could not tell their nanus. Foilett Do yoa not know that Bolen, ot Louisville, and Sullivan, of Chicago, wer here on election day and that they went abcut tbe city saying more people should be shot down? Wright--Never heard any such statement until now. Tfce same form of examination wa continued st considerable length, Mr. Wright repeating bo many times tbat he did not rec'llect that the laugh was raised when be said he was told by some one that these P'stols were coming to him, bat he didn't recollect who he wa?. Returning to the tubject of thee revolvers witness had no written notice of their CCiuingandro positive knowlede of where they came from, bat supposed they were tent from the Republican National Committee. His direction how to return thm was by telegram frota Fessenden CiailVe, or another member cf tbe commisiion, bat he could not tell from which one. It was hi opinion there would have been no e!e3tion here in October if it had not been for Deputy Marshals, and that the Deputy Mirsbsls would be worthless withoat arms. Springer Didn't you have aa ele:tion in November without MarsSals? Wright Y"i, sir. Suringer And haven't you had many befor last October withoat marshals? Wr'.cht Yes, sir. Bit I a n ca:U:a ;asr
never was an election in Cincinnali where there was such deep feeling and such excitement an both sides as at the October election. I btlieve if we had not had D?puty Marshals our streets woali have run with blood. After requesting the witness to produce a r. umber of papers that had been referred to, Mr. Foilett announced the examination ended. Judge Forakrr bean the cross-examination by asking If the witness had knowledge of any Democrat who waj hindered or prevented from castings legal vote at tbe October election by reason of the presence of Jeputy Marshal. Witness said he had made dilligent inquiry and had not heard of a Eingle instance. On the contrary, on election day a considerable number of Republican votes, particularly from the Eighth Ward, came to his ofiice bleeding from violence sutlered there, and saying they could not vote. He received calls that day from the Sixth, Fifth and other wards for more Deputies on account of the violence shown to Republican voters. This caused him to appoint Deputies on election cay. In the Eighth Ward the deputies were knocked down and revolver? taken from them. The reason he sent more deputies to tbe fcixth Ward was that it was notorious for fraud acd violence. Attlie hut spring election the Democratic majority was increased frcm ZCS to Oöö in this ward. It wes such a manifest fraud that even the Circirnati Enquirer called attention to it and denounced it. The defiant hostility of the city and county authorities tbe nigbt before election was shown in the arrest ot his deputie?, even when they were serving warrants, led him to expect trouble. To the best of his knowledge 1,000 Deputy SneriEb were appointed. Objection was mad $ to a question as to the comparative vote in October ani November. Mr. Foilett Faid he did not want to Investigate the November election. Judge Foraker argaed it was prop?r to show the fact that at tbe November election, when there were no Deputy Marshals, tke candidates for Mr, Fcllett'a party received fewer votes than Mr. Foilett, in order to disprove the charge against Marshal Wright, tbat his course prevented voters from exercising their rights. Mr. Foilett said this could not tend to prove anything at all, as in the case of New York City. A variance of tbe vote for candidates of the same party was many thousands between the Stale aad National candidates. The commission ruled that tbe total vot cf the different paities at the October aad November elections might be put in evidence. Adjourned till to-morrow. PLYMOUTH CHURCH PEWS.

E. E. Hcjt then began the sale, tbe biddings being premium for choice of Beats, 'How much for the first choice." he cried. 'Two hundred and fifty dollars," said IL B. Claliin.

"Four hundred dollars." followed, from a dry goods merchant, and eo ran the bidding by jumps of $25 until ?S)0 was reached by Bush. "Our friend bids so well that he may have it," said Clailm at this point, and Bush chose pew No 7, the rental of which is $110 besides the ??00 premium.
