WASHINGTON.

Congressmen Cobb and Finnertj In dnlge In a Sharp Controversy In tho Cloak Room of the House of Representatives. A Scheme to Control an Offlco Four Years Longer About tbe Trade Dollar. almost a riuur. Altercation Between Representatives Cobb and Finerty in tbe Cloak-Room of the Ilonse. Special to the Sentinel. Wa.'him tox, Jan. 27. To-day while the Home journal was being read, Representatives Cobb and Finerty engaged in a conversation touching dynamite, and becoming interested tbey proceeded to the cloak room. There tbe conversation passed rapidly from animation to anger, and attracted tbe attentioi of several members who formed r group about the disputants. Fortunately Serjeant-at-Arms Lee dorn came up just as they were about to pass from words to blows and exercising his authority, compelled the now thoroughly-angered fair to "break" and retire to their respective 'corners." They both shortly disappeared and could not be found. This gave rise to repcrts that they had placed the matter in the hands of friends and that a duel was imminent, as it is known that both will fight. The Sentinel correspondent, however, saw Finety, who said the quarrel was impersonal and would go no farther a? it would be foolish to tight over such a matter. To the AstcClated FressShortly before the House was called to or-to-day, a number of the members were discussing the recent explosions in London. The discussion took place in ihe cloak-room on the Democratic side. Among those presene were Representatives Cobb and Finerty. The former expressed himself as strongly opposed to the means resorted to by Irishmen to effect ths result dfsired, Mr. Finerty replied that under the circumstances the explosions In London were justifiable. It was the only way in which tbe Irish could gain their cause. ''You claim it to be justifiable," said Mr. Cobb. "Justifiable when the lives of innocent women and children are jeopardized. If you look upon it in that light von are not humane." 'I am humane, sir," retorted Mr. Finneity. "As humane as you are. and I am damned sight more so. I wish those people would be blown to h 11." Tho dispute ended at this. Both members were considerably agitated bnt rjntrolled themselves and confined their dispute to worde. A POSTMASTER Or Howling Green, Kentucky, IIa Schern to Control the Office for tlte Next Four Years. a Specia) to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. -7. General Hobaon, the Postmaster at Bowling Green, Ky., is here on a peculiar species of political business. Hobson was a noted Union soldier during the late War, and fought well to the close ol tbe ditficulty. Then he entered the arena of politics, and figured conspicuously there. His term as Postmaster at Bowling Green expires some time during the approaching summer, and he wants to arrange to control the office, and to that end he has devised a scheme It Is' to resign and have a widow woman appointed. She, he think?, would be allowed to remain all through the term, and poesibly might be reappointed under Cleveland at the end cf four yesrs. It was with a good deal of confidence that General Hobson requested Fostmaster General to appoint the lady in the event he Hobson resigned. The General could not see anything in the way of such an arrangement, bat he was informed that, in the firs place, there was opposition to the general proposition of appointing women to postmasterships and, in the second place the President had declared he would not be a party to any kind of a tr'ck to beat the incoming admsnistration out of its official dnes. THE TKADE DOLLAR. Money Shark. Who Bought Up Trade Dollar a Short Time Ago Diappolnted. Special to tbe Sentinel. Wajhim.tox, Jan. 27. People who last winter bemoaned what they thought ws a loss on the trade dal Urs they sold at a discount ranging from 15 to 25 per cent., can now laugh. The excitement tbat was gotten up over the depreciation of the value of the silver dollar a year or eighteen on ths ago was preconcerted. It was the arrangement of a lot of money sharks who wanted to buy up all the money of that class and dispose of it at a large profit. They succeeded in the first step admirably. They bought np teveral millions at the discount indited. When the bulk of the trade dollars bad been rarnered in the vaults of New Ycrk capitalists an appeil was made to Congress for a law calling the money all in. Since it kari keen issoed at par va!ce it meet be redeemed by dollar for dol

lar. A lobby came here and the bill was Introduced. Another lobby came and the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures had hearings. A favorable report followed. Still another lobby came to secure the passage of the bill, but it didn't pass. It lies dormant. A feeling exists that these doll its were taken from the people by a "corner," and there is a desire to squeeze those who made it. Thsre is no one but believes that the money, since it has served the purpose for which it was issued and can not be floated except under a discount, should be redeemed and recoined. Had it not been that there was a dispute over the recoining of the trad a dollar, the bill calling it in would have passed seme time ago in the face of the fret tbey were collected by unfair means. A portion of the House wants the redemption of the trade dollar, and its re coinage to come oat of the regular coinage of $2.000,000 a month. Since there are 30.000,000 to 40,000,. 000 of them, they would reduce the demand for bullion for awhile, and there would be a diminution of the profits of silver mines.

STATE KUJIITS. Jeft'eraon Davl Writes a Letter Expressing His Opinion on the Subject. Washington, Jan. 20. A controversy has been carried jn recently in the columns of the NatiO!".'. Republican, this city, between Dr. A. Y. P. Garnett, who was Jefferson Davis' phyt:c''.n daring the war, and Mr. Hidell, who, during the same period, held the office of Private Secretary to Alexander .Stephens, touching the adherence or inadherence of Davis daring the war to the doctrine of State rights. Hidell stated in a communication to the Republican that all of Davis' Cabinet etticers, as well as Vice President Stephens distrusted the sincerity of Davis' adherence to the doctrine of Suite rights and were fully of the bslief tbat he (Davis) aimed at the supreme dictatorship oi the Confederacy. Garnett replied, denying the statements of Hidell, and finally ainounced his intention of writing to Davis on the matter. He did write to Davis and now furnishes tbe Republican with an autograph letter on the subject from that gentleman, of which the following is a copy: Eeau voir, Miss., January 2. Dr, A. Y. Gatnett: My Deah sir. Yours o'the 17th lust, has this day u en received, and to your Inquiry I reily tbat. though it is not in my power to recite the the language employed In response to you and others, who urged me to send Confederate troops into Kentucky to prevent the Federal Government Irom intimidating the Legislature and people of that State by military c ecu pa Hon, and thu to prevent Kentucky fiom rassing the ordinance of secession, I do well remember that to you, as to ethers, I answered substantially that I would not do such violence to the riguts of a State. No oLe could tave felt a deeper interest or a trore aeectionate regard for Kentucay tiaa 1 did, and it way well be tbat 1 d!l rotlbelieve the people of Kentucky especially dUtiESuifched in toe tailv period of her history for the atsertion of State rishu and eUte remea itb could be driven from th8 xnalntenaBcs of a creed which had ever been her polut of prida. My answer, as correctly statel by you, 6howa that ray decision was not based on expediency, and however reluctant I may have been to respect the advice of yourself and other friend., la whess judgment and sincerity I bad implicit confidence, i iTcnld net for all the considerations involved CiFrtgaid the limitations of oar Constitution and violate the cardinal principle which hful been the C'aidiDfrBtaroI my political life. With grateful remembrance of your kiodnesa in year Rone by, and admiration for your manly fidelity ia times of severest toil, I am ever truly your friend. Je:tekox Dayi. Note. The House Committee on Foreign Aßairs postponed uiÄil Friday the coaslderatioa of the resolution calling upon the Secretary of State for information as to whether any citizen of the United States wa concerned in bringing about tbe London explosions. While no vote was taken that would show the feeling of the members toward the resolution, there was an expression o opinion that there was no occasion for an in vestteation. The members say the resoln tion, as referred, will not be reported back to the House. One of a different chara;ter, however, may be reported. The Director of the Mint is engaged in the prparation of his report on the production of oid atid silvtr in tne United estates daring the calendar jear cf 134 From returns made from the mints and assay oth :es it ap peare, he s-ajs, that contrary to his own expectation and the general opinion, a greater aruccnt of gold was obtained from the mines cf tbe United Stages in 1881 than during tbe previous year. The reports from the mints arid ajsiy offices of deposits of gold and silver which he caused to be verided by accoonts, 6how that during the calendar year c:,is$t they received gold of domestic production, $30, 07, lii:, nearly $$ 000 more than tbe previous year, while deposits of 171; total, excluding redepoaits, $50,51S.14S. Dr. Burcbard says there can bs no question but that nearly $31,000,000 of gold, as sbown by the reports, were obtained from tbe mines of the United States daring the last calendar year, because the description and character of the gold is apparent to the wt-iph clerks upon inspection, or is easily acttained and the general locality also whf nee received by inquiry of knowledge of the business of the depositor, and is entered on the records. Senator McMillan, to day, favorably reported from the Committee on Judiciary tae bill to resore the jurisdiction of tbe Scpreme Court cf the United States over the writs of habeas corpus so as to allow appeals to be taken to that court in all cases wbich mayibeaprealed to Circuit Courts. The effect of this will be to allow appeals taken to the Snpreme Court on habeas corpus in which the prisoner is alleged to be restrained of his liberty in violation of the Constitution or any law or treaty of the United States. Under the present pra:tice a eirgle Federal Judge of the lowest judicial rark may overturn tne final judgment! of tbe highest courts in the Suites. The House Committee on Tablic Buildings anu Grounds, which waa instructed to inquire into the cause of tbe fire which occurred yesterday neon the roof ol the House,

foreign gold bullion Mere $11,217.30; foreign coin, tf, 2-2$.V22: jewelry, plate, etc., f l.7!9 577, and United States gold coin, f 205

has performed its duty and will report that the fire was purely accidental. It xwas caused, probably, says the committee, by throwiog into one of the tire-places of the building waste paper or other light material which was carried up the ßae into the wooden bore at the foot of the fla staff. In order to prevent a recurrence ot such an accident the committee recommended that tbe Hag-staff be covered with metal nd a box constructed entirely of that material. It also recommends the Clert cf the House be directed to procure suitable small fire extinguishers, to be kept in al I the rooms in which documents or papers are stored. The conferees upon the temporary naval appropriation bill, who are miking provision for the Navy Department lor the last half of the current fiscal year, reached an agreement to dav. The bill appropriates 6,120,000 for tbe half year. The provision of the House bill prohibiting repairs of wooden ships or of engines and machinery of wooden ships beyond what may be accomplished at an expenditure of CO per centum of the estimated cost of new ships and machinery, has been amended by limiting the expetssof such repairs to 20 percantuniof the coat of new snips or machinery. Secretary McCuilooh today addressed a communication to the Speaker o! the Hotse. recommending an appropriation of $300,000 for the construction ef an additional vault for the atorage of silver and for the expent es attending the transfer of sliver from sub-treasuries yrhich are now, or which may become, overcrowded with that cin. Before the House Judiciary committee today Representatives Dockery and Follett submitted argumenta in favor of bills introduced by tbem and pending before tbat committee to abolish the offices cf Deputy Marsha's and Supervisors ol Elections, The Board of supervising Inspectors of Steam Vessels to-day adopted the rule requiring all barges in tow of steamers to carry proper signal lights. This rule applies to ihe lakes and the seaboard. The President appointed J. C. Danis Special Commissioner on the part of the United Spates at the New Orleans Krpssitioa. Reports from twenty ona cities, representing 35 per cent of the total sales of stamps, postal cards and: stamped envelopes, show a falling off in the cales of 12 per cent, for the December quarter of 1881 as compared with 18S3. Only four cities on the list show an increase, as follows: Brooklyn, $i,27t; St. Louis, 56,200; Detroit, 0.723; New Orleans, S'.hjC. The agL?egae sales for theqaarter ended December 31, 1881 are 1C,500,000, against $10,67.074 for the corresponding quarter of 1S83. Representative Mcrey has prepared a report to accompany tbe bill for the reduction of newspaper pästase. He taya the postage on second claa'j matter can jaitlv be called a privilege tax paid by the publisher for permission to prosecute his busines?. The revenue derived from second cUsa matter is about 4.13 per cent, of the whole aa inconsiderable proportion amounting the last fisral year to ?t,S5!,502 The proportion to reduce the postage from two to one cent per pound does not mean the reduction of this gross amount one-half. O j the contrary, it is not certain the revenue in the total amount from second clais matter would be reduced at all by the change. Under the prentr&te tLe Government does all the business of transporting and handling cf secondclass matter on long and unprofitable hau's, and the express companies do the short or profitable hlf..Upon the reduction ot the rate the Government will do the shovt hauls also, and the revenue will, in the opinion of the Committee, be maintained and probably increased, even with the additional expense of transportation, hindling, etc There is no question that the tax as it now stands is a considerable burden upon publishers, which they can not share with the peneral public, who are the gresteet beneßcariea of the service. Admitting the importance of newspapers and magazines generally, and more epecui'ly those devoted to arts and sciences, to 1 articular industries, to religious ai.d technical instruction ai grat educators, ahd considering the gret burden to the tlas eugeged in this work, upon whom ihe whole tax falh, aud little ii any Jo?s to the rever.uet of the conntry, tb- Cviumittee resptc fully recoaimends the pF8ee o' the bill. A redaction in the rate vo3ld er a Vie papers to live that are struggling and others to improve their facilities for .atheriog rewa. It would also induce cormtoodence, increasing first-clsws portage. The Goternmsntof the Dominion ot Canada, in it nlightened treatment ot this question carry Its newspapers and periodicals free, and by the terms of our ptal treaty we car'y tbe papers of Canada in the United Stales free.

In some respects the panic produced by Saturday's events really increased the fears entertained yesterday that the dynamiters meditated an attack upon the national arsenals and naval stations, and they were placed under special watch. At Chatham Djck Yard the police kept afloat during the entire night. To day instructions were issued for tbem to put a fctop to a';l ingress to the tower, ths House of Commons and Westminster Hall.

Wolsley telegraphed this afternoon from Kertl that he expccls to receive news from Stewart either to-nigbt or to morrow.

General Briere De Lifele has notified the government tbat all preparations for concentrated action among the different bodies of French troops in Tonquin are completed, and an order for a general movement towards the occupation of the entire country he believed to be imminent. A STRANGE STORY. A Former Citizen of Kmisai City Said to Have Been Kidnaped. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 27. A Jefferson City dispatch from the Times corresponaent states that Governor Crittenden has, within a few days, rceived a ietter from the British Minister at Washington informing him of Alfred Sheldon's arrival in England, alive and well. Mr. Sheldon, who was a resident of this city and a member cf the Blue Springs Milling Company, disappeared mysteriously on the night of May 4 last. He was said to be short $20,000 in his accounts, and one theory was that he had been kidnaped and was held until wealthy friends in England should make up the deficit. Another theory was that this was a ruse on Sheldon's part to get away. At the request cf the British Government through the State I)?partmeut at Washington, Governor Crittenden tcok action in secret to find measures for the investigation of the case, and the rescue of Sheldon if kidnaped as alleged. The correspondent gives the following account of the affair, whidh he asserts is from a reliable sourcs; On May 4, about midnight, two men came to Seldon's house in a buggy, arrested him rn a pretended warrant and took him avay. They were joined by two oiher men and tas prisoner was carried to a place near Blue Springs and detained at a camp in the woods for several week, his cantors meanwhile comp Hing him to write to' his friends far money. The men demanded ?25,O00. At lecgth.one night. & member of the gang promised secretly to releas e him. The man then took him to a railroad station near, pave him $10 and left him. She! Ion tock the train at the station, bet the narrative dees sot state where he went from

there. The conclusion is that Sheldon's captors were prttted eo closely by the aetectives that becoming alarmed they released their prisoner. Sheldon's wife, who remained some time in Kansas City, is now in England. Rumors have arisen from time to time in this city that Sheldon had been seen in various parts of the State in disguise, but none cf them have been verified. The intelligerce frcm Jefferson City at leant establishes the fact that Sheldon is now in England.

1USE BALL. All DifTicollleB Adjusted Between the Two Associations. riTTSBUE, Jan. 27. The meeting of the joint conference of the National League and American Base Ball Association held here to-day for the purpose of adjusting the difficulties of the two associations in regard to the admission cf the Lucas Club to the National League, resulted in an amicable adjustment of the troubles. When the meeting was called to order Congressman O'Neil, of St. Louis, presented the following from Mr. Vonderaae: To the President and Directcrs of the American Association : The difficulties between IL V. Lucas and mvself having been amicably adjusted, I hereby withdraw my objections to tbe admission of the League club into the city of St LouK Very leerectfully. Cubist Vondebahe, The communication, which occasioned no surprise, was accepted and Lucas admitted. Mr. Vonderahe then presented resolutions, which were adopted, providing for the appointment of a committee to notify the League Committee that the American Association had conrented to the admission of the League club into St Louis, and also that the American Association favored an amendment to Section 70 ef the national agreement as proposed by the League. A reflation was also adopted, which was as follows: Whereas, A G. Snaulding, President of the Chicago Base Ball Club, signified a willirgnessto admit the American club in the Chicago American Association, the committee therefore is directed to obtain permission of the Lea-rue to allow the American Association, if so desiring, to locate there or in any city in which a League club is located.

No apportionment savoring of a gerrymander should b adopted. The constitutional requirement that the State shall be reüstricted every six years does not mean a gerrymandar every so many years, but merely "leveling up," according to the last enumeration of the voters of the State which was taken in 1SS3, and gives a ratio of about 33,500 for each of the thirteen Congressional Districts iato which the State is divided. Under the present districting, wide discrepancies exist. The Fourth District, for example, has but a few more than S3.000 voters, whil tbe Eleventh District has more than 40 000 voters, or a difference of 13,000! Now, this ought not to exist, but each district should be, a nearly as possible, made to contain the ratio, approximately at least. Let us then keeping the ratio, 3S.500, in view divide the State into thirteen dii tricts, as follows, to wit: First District No change. Second District Remove Sn'l ivan County, and add Monroe from the Fifth; othr?vise nochsnge. Third District No change. Fcurth District Add Rush County from the Sixth ; otherwise no change.
