THE SEWS CONDENSED.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS, a joint resolution to fuYnlsh oertftta books to the law library of Cincinnati passed the Senate on the 15th tost. Bills were formally reported to create a commission on the alcoholic liquor traffic, for the relief of the N:e Perce Indians in Idaho, an 3 to provide for coinage at the branch mint in Denver. A resolution was offered directing the Judiciary Committee to re pore whether Paul Strobach la now disohnrsrinff the duties of United States Marshal of Alabama, after his nomination was rejected. The bankruptcy bill was taken up, and it was agreed that any person owing in excess of $900 may petition far disc-targe. By a vote of 140 yean to 138 nays the House of Representatives decided to take np the Morrison tariff bill. The vota by which the consideration of the bill was secured was made r.p of 135 Democrats and fire Republicans. The opposing vote consisted of ninety-nine Republicans and thirty -eifrht Democrat s, as d one Independent, Finerty, f Chicago. The Democratic opposition vote consisted of one vote etch from Alabama, Connecticut, Indiana, IiOHisiana, Maryland, four from California, three from Nw Jersey, five from Ohio, ten from Pennsylvania, and nine frum New York. Mr. Morrison opened the debate on the measure. He declared that to fail to reduce taxation and tfc us relieve the people wonld be a flagrant disregard of public duty. A horizontal reduction might not b? the best, but none other was practicable at present. To the list of articles now imported free of duty it was proposed to add rait, coal, wood, and lumber. Salt was already :ree for fishermen and meat exrortera, coal was untaxed for nse on coast trading vessels, and the revenue from wood and lumber was m the past ten years not over $10,000,000, while the domestic wooden products exceeded $509o)0,oopr annum in valuj. In the estimates, as caretnlly prepared, the bill would leave in cottons bnt two articles dutiable above 40 per cent, in woolens but one abova 60 pet cent,, and tn iron and steel but few above so per cent. As at present arranged many of these articles were taxed above loo per cent, through hidden enormities in classification and rates of duty. The above limits were intended to reineuy these enormities. The insufficient character of the late reriston forlade its permanency. The only security from agitation And ciiauge would be to confine the taring power to obtaining a revenue limited to the necessities of the Government. The cry of the protectionists that lower rates would rrin manufactures was used when the industries were young, and would continue to be need to the end. He instanced the placing of Quinine on the free list, and declared that as had been the oasa in that industry so it would be In all other industries. Mr. Kelley made tLe opening speech for the opposition. He drew pictures of the fearful condition of the laboring classes of Europe, and said tint the proposition nowfra? that tha United States aLionld enter the race with the world for the cheatmebs which had -lei to such terrible results. He denied that anyoc? the articles called raw materials by the Demn irrats were, in reality, raw matei iale. In tire rarje for cheapness production left the prosperous countries and found its way tc the most oppress. After a spirited passage between Messrs. JEeUey and Hewitt regarding tie duty on wire rods, Mr. Kelley repeated his assertion that production had outrun consumption and this evil could not be mitigated by a reduction in the tariff. The nly means by 'nieh the markets could be increased would be to stop the iznportati of cheap labor, send back all who had signed contract in foreign lands to work at kr wages, see tliat laborers were paid so much tltat the rubliescuooto might be well sustained and the children educated, and protect American motherhood against .becoming drudges in foundries. He advocated complete Isolation at the country, which conH be sustained in freedom and purity only so lonr as it did not begin the nn holy race for the "cheap and nasty nnderteachinus of dismal science." Mr. Mills, of Texas, followed Mr. Kelley bi a speech supporting the bflL Thk bill to aothorite tfce States f Dlhwia.

Several amendments were made to the bankruptcy bnX In executive cession Oharles EL Con was oonftnxted as Assistant Steretary tf the Treasury. The tariff bill was debated throughout the entire session of the House. Mr. Russell deprecated the reopening of the sgttattom, but said the Republicans accepted the challenge. Mr. Blount thought legislation should bo such that a revenue standaid wonld ultimately be reached, and said the redaction by the bill under discussion would be about 10,000,000. Mr. Chace predict 3d that a cut of as per cent, on wool wonld stop most of the anflls in the country. Mr. Jomss, of Arkansas, spoke of the imperative demand for a reduction of the tariff, and said ths passage of the bill wonld pTace the DemocraUo party on the side of reformation. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, offered a resolution to the Senate, April :i7, that it Is competent for Congress to fix freight rates on interstate commerce, secure free competition, and prohibit discrimination of any kind. Bills were passed to adjust the account for arms between South Carolina and the Federal Government, and to authorize the Vxailon of a branch soldiers home In some one cf the newer Western Btates, at a cost of $250,000. Considerlion ox the bankrupt bill having bees resumed, Mr. George proposed an amendment giving laborers and servants priority over debts due to the State or the United States.

The House of Bepn santativea passed bills to permit the bridging of the Missouri River at Sibley, and to limit to two years the time within which internal revenue offenders may be prosecuted.

Mrs. A. E. Green, mother of Congressman J. Wharton Green, of North Carolina, died at the home of her nfeoe, Mrs. Senator David Davis, at Bloomington, 111. She was t3 years old. The Secretary of the California Agricultural Society estimates the growing crop of wheat at 60 per cent, more than last year, tho only thing1 tog be feared being the no th winds in the valleys. Late advices from the Coeur d Aleno gold fields report discoveries of gold in the district known as Dream Gulch, so called because of its discovery on account of the alleged dream of a Frenchman. Four men sluiced out five pounds two ounces of coarse gold there in two days. The result of the discovery had the etlect of advancing tho price of claims all atons the creok. The first fatal shooting occurred at Murrayville tho 13th of April, when a ffddlcr named Richarda known m the region as Tommy the Masher, was killed by a gamb or named McDonald. Accobding to information gathered over tho wires by tho Chicago Times, winter wheat in Illinois Ohio, Iowa, and Indiana is in excellent condition, injury by frost having been confined exclusively to scattered points in the two former States. The plant in Missouri has evidently I een badly damaged by cold weather. Wisconsin reports a falling o!f in the acreage of spring wheat, as the farmers ore giving greater attention to the dairy. Dakota and Minnesota have a larger acreage than Inst year, and there is a prospect of the larjrest yield for years, no damage from insect being reported at any point. A Japanese waiter shot and fatally wounded Mrs. Gudirell. tho landlady of a bote! at Oarden, Utah. Tho murderer was lynched soon thereafter. Reports from Yankton, Dakota, say the United States Grand Jury has returned two indictments against Gov.

A violent wind and rainstorm visited the country in the vicinity of Columbus, Go. The rainfall in three hours was three and one-tenth inches. !Neab Brenham, Tex., an escaped negro convict hired himself to a farmer named Davis. Taking advantage of the absence of the male members of tho family, he entered the house and demanded a seat at the supper-table. Being remonstrated with by Mrs. Davis, he seized an ax, brained her, and fed. He was pursued and arrested, after being badly wounded. Despite the piteous pleas of the wretch, he was dragged to au impromptu stake, coal was poured upon him, and he was roasted alive. His charred remains, :n a sitting position, his arms hugging the stake, presented a sickening spectacle. A m urderer named Casey was legally executed at Tucson, Arizona, for the murder of Jailer Rol brook in April, 1883. Great distress is reported to prevail fa Marion County, South Carolina, A local paper says that in no year since the war have provisions been so scarce. There are perhaps hundreds who cannot get bread enough to eat. Upok the ground that in the present state of public opinion in South Carolina it would be idle to proceed with the trial of persons for violation of the United States election laws. District Attorney Melton moved before United States Judge Bond at Charleston,' 8. C, to dismiss all cases of that character remaining on the docket. George Coates, a colored man, went to the house of Jere Green, near Gadsden, Ala., while Green and his wife were at church.

It was first heard from in Harris County, and moved from southwest to northeast. forty-six houses were completely blown away, eight persons killed, and many injured. Striking into Merriwether County, wholesale destruction of property took place, the damage being fully $00,000. The Powell place, one of the most noted in the State, was utterly swept away, and Mr. I'owell, Sr., his grandson, Ben Johnson, and four negroes were killed outright, while five other persons are so mana-led that 3ome ef them will die. Several negro children had been blown away and have net s:nce been heard from. Farther on, it struck the house of Pete Tolson, destroying everything, killing mules and breaking the thigh of a negro man. A negro tirl was killed.

The House Committee on Coinage has voted to report favorably tho Lacey bill to prohibit the issue of treasury notes for less than $5, and to provide for tho issue of silver certificates in dene ruinations of $1, $3, and $5. ... .'A banking-house at Washington has filed with tho Secretary of War charges of -fraud and conduct unbecoming an officer against Gen. Swaim. Theee is considerable gossip among Democrats, says a Washington dispatch to the Chicago Tribwh at to the prospects of the tariff bill. If tac desires of members are gratified, at least 100 more long speeches will be placed on tho ovei burdened pages of the Ite&trdt to deliver which will require at least six weeks, and then only will tho real business of considering the bill begin. We programmes of the Republicans and of those Democrats who arc opposed to tariff agitation is to try to carry a motion to strike out the enacting clause as fioon as the bill is open for amendment. Mr Morrison may, however, be able to counteract this before the crisis arrives through promises to accept and support various amendments which will make the bill less objectionable to the Representatives from certain. States. Congeessman Lacey, a member of the Coinage Comini ;teo of tho House, thinks that nothing will be done this session to restrict silver coinage. He thinks, however, that the tendency is in that direction The House Postoiflce Committee hao adopted

a I'csolution declaring it expedient to make contracts with existing lines for a postal telegraph system. It is estimated by ".Mr. Morrison that if his tariff bill should pass it will have the eiTeot of diminishing the customs revenue $3ii,l00,000 annually.

The Republicans of Tennessee met in convention at Nash vile and nominated Judge Prank T. Reid, who served in the Confederate army, for Governor. The dele gates to the national convention at Chicago are nearly solid for Arthu r. Seventy-one of the eighty counties of Minnesota, eays a St. Paul telegram, have been carefully canvassed, pains having been taken to reach men of hirh standiug whose views can be accepted as a good index of tho general sentiment of tho Republican returns. There are 673 strongly supporting- Blaine, 190 for Edmunds, 182 for Arthur, 80 for Lincoln, 47 for Logan, 51 scattering. For second choice there is almost a unanimous preference for Edinunds. With the Democrats,' Tilden has so much of a lead that there can hardly be picked any other, although Bayard, Payne, and Hancock arc mentioned. . . . Col. Morrison unearthed a letter in the tariff discussion at Washington, written by Mr. Til den in 1S55, in which he expressed himself as opposed to protective or prohibitory duties.

This reported Indian uprising at Battleford, Northwest Territory, was without foundation, the aborigines simply gathering thero to talk about their grievances, with the intention of sending delegates to Ottawa and Regina. Thep.e are reports of extensive gold discoveries on Cottonwood Creek, near Canon City, Colo. Miniug men at Denver and elsewhere are much excited over the intelligence The first discovery, it is said, was made on the ranch of Mr. John O'Brien by a roan named Teller. The gold is in chloride form, held by magnetic iron and its presence is so disguised that none but experienced experts would have detected it. Miners are already Hocking to the scene of the discoveries. All the indications favor the belief that a rich lead has been struck. The Amalgamated Association's committee and the manuf acturers held a meeting at Pittsburg to regulate the scale for tho ensuing year, but failed to agree, tho proprietors demanding a 19 per cent, reduction, while the workmen advocated the present rate, with certain amendment?.

It is reported from Leadville tjliafc the recent alleged gold disooories near Pike's Peak, Co!o,, are part of a gigantic swindling scheme originated by a drug clerk who formed a joint-stock company, scattered chloride of gold in some places in the gravel ot the mountain side, and tl .cn had reports of immense discoveries circulated so as to boom tho shades of his joint-stojk company. Tho fraud was exposed too soon to deceive moneyed men, but thousands of prospectors had given up work elsewhere to try their luck in tho region of tho alleged discoveries. Four Paris Irishmen were interviewed by the London Timw correspondent on the dynamite policy. James Stephens and John O'Loary, two noted Fenians, condoinned the policy as foolish, wicked and inexpedient. Dr. Hogaii, of the Irish Ecclesiastical College in the French capital, said tho policy of the dynamiters was "morally a crime, politically a blunder, and socially a disaster.1' One obscure Irishman, named "asey, favored dynumite, and said that it mi vht be used in blowing up English ocean vessels. . . .Humors are at?oat in Paris that the Pope will presently seek an asylum in France. The Davenport Democrat publishes a canvass or Iowa, on the Presidential question, to the extent of several columns. Letters were sent to the Chairman of every Democratic County Committee in the State and to other leading Democrats in a p-sitioa to b3 informed on public sentiment. Answers were received from more than three fourths of the ninetynine counties, many of thm being the result of numerous interviews. The object of the canvass was to obtain a true reflex of Democratic sentiment in regard to the popular choice for Presidential candidates rather than the personal views of the correspondents. The result shows that the sentiment drifts nearly one way tor Tilden and Hendricks It is reported that at a conference held at New York last week arrangements were made to nominate Gen. Butler and Congress man It e a an tof Texas) fcr President and Vice President on the Anti Monopoly ticket, and tho understanding was reached that the Greenbackers were to indorse the nominations at their . national convention. .. .Five national bank directors have been nominated for Presidential Electors by the Pennsylvania ltepublicans.
