STOCK SHirPINO. The committee on Agriculture to day heard replies from Messrs. Depew, of the New York Central; Blanchard of the Erie railread, and Dutcher & Eastman, of the rSew xork Central stock yards, in an swer to statements made by J. F. Rusling, of Pennsylvania, last Monday, on the sub ject of eveners in connection with the stock yards on the above named lines and discriminations in freights. Dapew denied everything that Rusling said in re gard to the management of the stock yard by eveners. RuBling, in reply, re iterated his statements and oflered to pay the expense of sending for the necessary papers and witnesses to prove the truth of them if they did not bear out his assertions, the railroads to pay if their Btory was disproved. Dutcher, Uenerai Man ager of the stock yards of the New York Central, made a statement giving a reason why John i. squires, of Boston. ceased to patronize the New York Central, was that a ower rate was offered bim by the Grand Trunk, the result of which broke down every shipper to Boston except Squires. Lmtcher Baid the ew xork uentrai nan given him equal privileges with every other shipper. Prince, of Boston, answered him that Squires was discriminated against at Buffalo, and that he knew it and could prove it, and that he believed Dutcher Knew it. ihe discrimina tion was because SquireB fed hi) atock at 'Buffalo in his own yards, and did not patronize the company a yard. Dulctier excitedly retorted that Prince wafl a leech on the stock shippers and had been hanging around fur fiveyeara repre senting he did not know whom. Prince replied that he was representing the dumb animals and had been simply trying to harmonize the interests of the roads and shippers to the beat of hia ability. CONFIRMATIONS.

Mr. Kdinuuds. from tho committee on Judiciary, reported adversely on the House bill lu relation to certain legal aisaDiuties oi women, aud moved that it be ludehmtely postponed. It provides that any woman who Bhall have been a member of the bar of the highest court of any State or Territory, or the District of Columbia for a period of three years, may be admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. noniuuns says tue grouna or ine au-verse renort of the committee was that by the law of the laud as it bad existed since the organization of the Government, the Supreme Court, aa well as all otoer United States Courts, were authorized to make their own rules touching the admission ol attorneys, so that there was no obstacle in the law prouiinung me aoruission oi women in nrnctice in the United States Court. It depended entirely upon the diacretion of the Court. The committed on Judiciary thought this act would make. a discrimination in favor of women, as it compelled the Court to admit women to practice when it was not bound to admit men. On motion ot Mr. Sargent, the bill was placed on ths calendar with the adverse re- port. Mr. McCrserv inquired of the Chairman of the Judiciary committee what progress was making in regard to the repeal of the bankrupt luw. Mr. Edmunds replied that the committee was making progress, and he hoped there would be a report soon. Mr. Windom called up the House bill, making appropriations for fortifications and other works of defence, and for the arma ment thereof, tor the fiscal year ending June 30, 1879. U wbs read the third time and passed wituout uiscusston.

The Bouse bill to authorize the granting of an American register to a foreign built ship, for tho purposes of the Woodruff Scientific expedition around the world, was called up by Mr. Alcuonaiu, ana lea ia a lengioy discussion. It was discussed until two o'clock and then laid aside untilto-morrow. The Senate resumed consideration of the Pacific Railroad Sinking Fund bill, and Mr. Christiancy spoke in regard thereto. Mr. Christiancy spoke in favor of the bil reported by the Judiciary committee, and in opposition to that reported by the committee on Kailrosds. Pending the discussion. Mr. Sargent sub- mitted several amendments to the bill to or ganize a life saving and coast guard service, and it was ordered mat uiey be printed and lie on toe carue. The amendment provides that the Secre- tary of the Navy may accept tbe services of volunteer crews at any ot the life saving stations, wno shall be subject, when on duty, to the rules and regulations of the ser vice. It also provides for the drill of such volunteers once each month and each man shall receive three dollars per day for such drill; and in case of wreck said volunteers are instrumental in saving, they shall each receive $10: or where eneaned in saving property they shall receive $5 each tor each day employed. Another amendment provides for the care ot property saved, its delivery to the own. ers. etc. Mr. Morgan then took the floor to sneak upon the Pacific Railroad Sinking Fund bill, and the Senate went into Executive session. and wnen me doors were reonened. ad journed.

On a viva voce vote, theaves were in a decided minority, but betoie the vote bv yeas and nays could ba tAken, the hour of two o clock arrived, and the House, under the rule, proceeded to the consideration of business ot tho District of Columbia. Mr. Mavhatn. from the District of Colum bia committee, reported a bill investing the District Commissioners wilh the power of the late Board of Audit for the purpose of issuing ceruncatea on claims passed upon aud allowed by such Board, but for which no certificates havo been prepared. It also provides that the outstanding certificates issued by the Board, the auditing of which shall hereafter bs issued by the Commissioners, shall be convertible into 3-65 bonds The bill was referred to the committee of the Whole and then the House resolved itself int i such committee, Mr. Stenger in the chair, fir the purpose of considering this bill. Mr. ltden opposed the bill. He sometimes heard about paying Southern claims, but he never had seen a batch of claims that he thought so little of as these a mass of rotten claim9, which came up from the old Washington ring. Alter tanner discussiou, the committeo, without action, arose and the House ad journed. CRIME AND OASTJALTS. Bank Chicanery Blficovered. Montreal, March 18 In a suit against the ex-Directors of the Metropol ian Bank, to recover damages for their mismanagements, it is aliened in the pro ceeding that the statements of the bank four to six years ago were false; that the Directors borrowed over a naif million of dollars and used the money for Btock spec ulations and that thus heavy low accrued to the Bank. t'apttiro of United Nlntea PrlNOUcrN New York, March 18.

Republican Ticket Nominated Tiirvbliicht Procea&ion. Special to the Ohio Btalo Journal. Newark, March 18. The Republican ticket nominated here this evening is one of the best that baa been presented for years. The gentlemen of which it is made up are Republicans, and nothing else. The Convention was largely attended, and its results in the main give general satisfaction. The Communists of Newark treated our citizens to a torchlight procession tonight sb insignificant in size as the principles of that organization. Bunk Failure. Halifax, March 18. Mcintosh, bank er and broker, suspended payment to" day. It is feared it will lead to more failures. The liabilities are not known, hut they will exceed $100,000.

Decision of the Supremo Conrt of Louisiana. The Verdict or the Lower Courts Set Aalile and tbe Prisoner Discharged from Custody. New Orleans, March 18. The Su preme Court this morning was crowded with members of the bar, politicians and otner persons, anxious to hear tne decision in the case of the State versus Thomas C. Andereon, convicted in the Superior Criminal Court for publishing as true lorgeo and counteneit election returns from the parish of Vernon. iniei justice Manning read a very lengthy opinion in the cane. After re viewing the charge, verdict and sentence, the Court took up two of the exceptions as neing tne only ones necessary to con eider in rendering a judgment. These were that there had been no preliminary cAniuiuauou, auu mai u ia noi a practice to prosecute by information. Both ex ceptions were dismissed; the first upon the ground that a preliminary examination is not essential, and second, that the Drose- cution by information has bsen a common rule in criminal prosecutions for manv years. The exception to the drawing of tne jury was alo dismissed on the grounds that a violation of the spirit of a law is not pretended. Kilative to the otionse llsilf. the Court gave an abatract of the election law, de tailing its requirements. Hie exact method prefcribed in the law was fully described. The record offered iu evidence did not conform with that mentioned in the information. The document offered was a consolidated statement, certified bv the register of voters, and not the original returns, and the statute of our State doss not attach much value to this consolidated statement. .The original returns not being altered, would not change the result of an election and interfere with the interest of the people. The piper offered in evidence is not tbe paper charged as being forged. In order to be a forgery, the instrument, which it ia at. leged is falsified, must, if true, be legally capable of committing a fraud. Nowhere in law ia a consolidated return required as a declaration of the result, and its ntteralion or modification can in no way affect the election. If every consolidated return was forged, and the Returning Board complied with the law and made their statement from the Commissioner's returns, no injury could result. It does not appear that any paper has been forged that is calculated wilh a compliance with law to change the result. It is the essence of this crime that it should be committed by a public officer and on a document which would change the result of un election. This was not done. The letter of John Sherman, Stanley Maltheivs and others, which appeared in the Record, was alluded to by the Chief Justice, who stated that it should be treated by tbe public in like manner as that of a membtr of the House of Commons, who attempted to influence the decision of the court in the Tichborne case. It was ordered that the verdict of the jury be set a-ide and reversed, and the prisoner discharged from custody. Trench Legislation. Versailles, March 18. The Senate, by a vote of 148 to 113, passed the third article of the state of siege bill. The article provides that the President can only declare a state of siege during a dissolution of the Chambers, in event of foreign war. The Right wished also to permit its declaration in the event of insurrection.In the Chamber of Deputies, M. Leon Say, Minister of Finance, moved the budget of receipts be made the order of the day for Thursday. M.Gambetta supported the motion and declared the hour had arrived to assert confidence in the Ministry aud tho future of the Republic. The motion was adopted 438 to 34. Thus all fear of a crieiB is averted. Military tunugew. PARIS, March 18. General Bertbard has been appointed to the command of the Eighteenth Army Corps, headquarters at Bordeaux, in place of General De Griniauder Derochebnut, transferred to the reserve. Other important changes impend. General E'pirent De La Villes-boisnet, commandant of the .Eleventh Corps; General Picard, C3mmandant of the Thirteenth Corps, and General Ville-bois have resigned. Leon Say's resignation of the Finance Ministership is regarded altogether unlikely. It is believed the Chamber will vote the entire budget without hesitation. ITi'bate on the AiiNtrlan Vote or rerilt. Vienna, March 18 At a public sitting of the lull Hungarian delegation to-day, almost all the speakers declared they would vote in favor of a credit, but expressed hopeB for a peaceful solution. The debate was adjourned untilto-moi-row. The Austrian delegation to-day, at a full sitting, granted the demand of the Minister of War for 657,000 florins, for military stores. The Pofllilon of England lu Reference to the couirreNH. St. Petersburo, March 18. Advices from Vienna, published in Paris, state that England has relused to take part even in the preliminary conference of Ambassadors, until Russia has given formal engagement that ail the clauses of the treaty will ba submitted to the Congress. Prince Gortschakofi', in reply, merely reiterated his promise that the full treaty will be communicated to the Powers. The AnMrian Budget. London, March 18. A Bpecial from Vienna says : The minority of the Budget committee of the Austrian delegation, thoogh voting against the credit, gave notice of a resolution declaring their readiness, in case of necessity, to make even greater sacrifices for the protection of national interests. The minority also expressed confidence in the policy of the Ministry. Revolution nt Port an Prince. Havana, March 18. A telegram from Jamaica Bays : A revolution took place at Port au Prince during the absence of the President. Tanis, at the head of one thousand followers, attacked the police arsenal and fort, and succeeded in capturing the fort. Tbe navy remained faithful, and is bombarding the positions of the revolutionists. Greece aud the Conprrces. London, March 18 In the House of Commons, Sir Stafford Northcote confirmed the report that Russia had not refused to admit Greece to the Congress, but merely raised tbe question as to the footing on which the Greek representative should be admitted. Threatened Bombardment. Athens, March 18 The Official Journal states that Hobart Pasha has threatened to bombard Surbi, unless the insurgents evacuate Makrintza. Decline or Conaols. London, March 184 p. m. Consols declined to-day on a rumor that Lord Derby had resiitned the Foreign Secre taryship. The rumor is probably utterly baseless and purely of stock jobbing origin.

The Confederate monument in the soldiers' cemetery at Lynchburg, Va , was struck by lightning on Monday night. the two top blocks of marble, represent ing the States of Maryland and Texas, and the eagle surmounting them, were knocked to pieces. The granite base was also dislocated, and the shaft was rendered very insecure. The Governor of New Mexico has deeply offended the ecclesiastics of that Territory by vetoing a bill to repeal what is known as the "burial law," which prohibited the burial of the dead beneath the floors of churches. Until the passage of the act two years ago it was the usual practice of the wealthy New Mexican Roman Catholics to bury their dead in the churches, the price of a sepulchre ranging from $250 to $1000, according to prcamity to the altar. When the ground under the floor was full of dead bodies they were exhumed and reintcrred elsewhere a practice which has been twice repeated in the parish church of Albuquerque. The bill was passed over the Governor's veto by an almost unanimous vote, as wae also another bill forever exempting the property of the Society of Jesus from taxation. A Washington special to the Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday contains the following : The story of Colonel Thomas Worthington at Shiloh ia known to most Ohio soldiers, lie fell into disfavor before the battle fur tbe persistence with which he predicted an attack; and after the disgraceful surprise he was tried for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman for printing extracts from his diary which showed on their face that the surprise was a diegrace. Coupled with this was a charue of druukenness, which appears to have had this basis in fact namely, that he was partly under the influence' of liquor, but that he kept his head for all that, and fought bravely and effectually how effectually, a late letter from the rebel commander, General Beauregard, comes at this late day to show : "New Ouleans, Jan. 2!), 1878. "Dear Sir: Your favor of the 22J has just been received, etc. I willingly state that the stubborn defense of a position on the extreme right ot the Federal line delayed our advance surlicient to prevent an earlier rout of the Federal army than occurred on April 6, 1802, thus giving lime to part of Buell's reinforcements to arrive on the field at Pittsburg Landing, just previous to the attack (about 5 p. m.) of tbe Confederates on that last stronghold of the Federals. I infer from official Federal reports, to which I have been lately referred, that the position on the extreme right, above alluded to, wan held by the 48th Ohio, Colonel Thomas Worthington. Should I be in Washington at the period stated by you, I will be glad to make your acquaintance and confer with you further relative to the bloody battles of Shiloh. I remain yours very respectfully, G. T. Beauregard. "Col. Thomas Worthington," Ohio. The Greenback party, of Somerset, have nominated a full corporation ticket. Rev. James J.

An ass had been accustomed to visit one of his own kind which grazed on a neighbor's land, an action looked upon with much disfavor by an old black ram, which pastured in the same field, Accordingly, he attacked the ass, goring him grievously, but the ass met his assaults with great courage, sprang about with astonishing agility, and kicked him with great force. At last he seized the ram by the nose and shook him as a dog worries a rat, bit him about the neck repeatedly, and left him weltering in his blood, the combat last ed for nearly an hour, and the ram died soon after it ended. DELAWARE. Hbfiotlng Afldlr nt a Temperance DIoellug-Sotne Now Pnbllc Bnild-lutes Wauled Local Paragraphs. . Delaware, March 18. To tho Editor of the Ohio State Journal : A temperance meeting in South Delaware, Saturday evening, broke up with a row between several roughs and a young man named Vaughn, iu which the latter was knocked down, and retaliated by deliberately shooting one of his assailants named Burroughs. The shot was well aimed, and would have proved fatal, but for some rattle bones the lad had in his pocket, that changed the direction of tbe ball, which followed around one of the rib3 and lodged in his back. Vaughn gave himself up and waiving examination was bound over to court by Mayor Barnes in $300. The practice of carrying firearmB is becoming very common with the boys of this place, and is high time the law was enforced. Shooting within the city limits is also an every day occurrence and should be stopped. One of the most needed items in this place is a good city hall and market house. The matter has recently been agitated by some of the citizsns, and may pcsiibly gain favor in a no very distant future. The present arrangements are anything but desirable, as all the branches of our city government are separated by from one to three squares; the Council chamber is too small even for the members, not taking into consideration that outsiders are sometimes interested in their proceedings. Public meetings, for want of a better room, are held in the Opera House and rent enough is paid yearly to cover the interest on a loan sufficiently lariietoput up a suitable building. The indebtedness of the city is scarcely $25.- 000, and it could carry a burden twice as large without trouble, and a building of this kind would probably be the most satisfactory way of doubling it. That we should have a good market house is gen erally conceded and that we need a city hall is an established fact; so we say let us have them. The concert at Monnett Chapel Tues day evening, under the auspices of the University, will attract a larne crowd. Professor Presser is at the head of it, and it ia unnecessary to say that it will prove a success. The young ladies of the Uni versity will be out in full force, and as a natural consequence the young men will invest their quarters and be there too. George B.

A Turkish Colonel' Daring Act. Cor. Baltimoro American. 1 If any one would like to know what manner of men were those who fought around Oaman Pasha, they can gain an idea of them from an anecdote that my friend told me. A very steep rock was to be stormed. It rose to the height of 250 feet, and was crowned by Russian batteries. A Turkish Colonel, desirous to set an example to his men, scrambled up first by the help of occasional projections in the rock, and roots and weeds, When he Exclusive Carpet House I3NT THE CITY.

The Russian soldiers looked at him in amazement, lheir guns were pointed at his breaBt, when their General gave the order not to tire, hastened up lo the Turkish Colonel and called out to him, "Colonel, begone at once, you Bee you are alone I" The brave man said nothing. He stood still a moment, gazing at his enemies; then turned and went back safely as he came. All the Russian soldiers began to clap their hands and cheer him. The Romnntic stlory of Jnrige Leon nrd'a Trip lo Cuba. John Edwards Leonard, of Lake Providence, Louisiana, a member of Congress, who died at Havana of yellow fever, was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, September 22, 1845. Ho was educated at Phillips Exeter (N. II.) Academy, and in 1867 was graduated from Harvard College. He studied civil law iu Germany, and received the degree of Doctor of Laws from the University of Heidelberg. Upon the completion of his studies he settled in Louisiana, and began the practice of law in the Thirteenth Judicial District. After serving some time as District Attorney, Mr. Leonard was appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court of Louisiana. In 1876 he was elected to the Fortyfifth Congress from the Fifth Louisiana District, as a Republican, receiving 13,881 votes against 9212 for W. W. Farmer (Democrat), according to the certificate of W. W. Kellogg, and 14,423 votes against 13,016 for Mr. Farmer, according to tbe certificate of Governor NichollB, He was appointed to the committee on the Revision of the Laws of the United States, The visit of Judge Leonard to Havana was purely personal and private, and was of a peculiarly interesting, delicate and romantic character. Some time ago, at the city of New Orleans, he met a young lady, a native of Cuba, who was visiting this country with her parents, and between whom and Judge Leonard a warm attachment sprang up, which ripened into love. A marriage engagement was the result, but the parents of the young lady, in consequence of her youth, opposed the match, and Judge Leonard was not permitted to see the object of his affsotions except in tbe presence of her parents. When the time arrived for the departure of the Cuban and his family from New Orleans, the young lady manifested some reluctance to return home, but an arrangement was finally made by which she and Judge Lsonard were to ba permitted to hold free and unrestricted correspondence through the mails. After her departure, Judge Laonard wrote her several letters, to which no anBwera were received, which naturally annoyed him very much, and gave rise to the suspicion that his letters had been intercepted and the young lady prevented from communicating with him. After a long interval, he', received a brief letter from the lady, which simply stated that she had not heard from him tince her return to Cuba, and that she could not hear from him. This brief letter bore evidence of having been hurriedly written, and its broken and soiled condition led Judge Leonard to suspect that it had been carried some distance by a negro to be secretly mailed. After writing other letters and waiting anxiously for replies, he became convinced that the parents of the lady were not acting in good faith, and he determined to visit Cuba. A week or two before his departure he called on the President, and, informing him of his troubles, requested tho President to write a personal letter to the Consul General requesting him to ascertain, if possible, ths situation and whereabouts of the lady. The President did so, and in due time Judge Leonard received a cable dispatch from Havana, which informed him that "Maria had been sent to a plantation in the country." This dispatch was not signed by the Consul General, but bore the name of a party unknown to Judge Leonard. This added to his perplexity, and he determined to set out at once for Cuba. He called on Senor Mantilla, the Spanish Minister at Washington, and making known to him his trouble, obtained a letter from that official to the Captain General of Cuba, recommending him to do whatever was proper to aid Judge Leonard in his delicate mission. The sympathies of Mme. Mantilla were also enlisted in behalf of Judge Leonard, and that lady wrote such a letter as a lady would write in such a case, urging the Captain General to do everything possible to unite the lovers. With these letters Judge Leonard sailed for Havana, where he duly arrived. Nothing has been heard from him directly until March 15, when a friend in Washington received a letter written by him from Havanna on March 7, in which he said he had teen the lady in presence of her parents. No detail as to tbe success of his mission were furnished, but from 'he general tone of deipondency pervading the letter, his friend believes he failed to obtain the oonsent of the parents to hiB addresses to their daughter. The announcement of his death was a painful surprise. He was a widower, and has two children now at school in Germany. HOUSE! OUR STOCK O IE!, New Advertisements.

London Medical Examiner.l A Scientific inquiry lately made by Dr. Delaunay among the hatters of Paris offers BomecurioUB results. Accepting it as true that the capacity of the cranium and development cf the brain are proportional to the internal volume of the head; also, that the intelligence is proportional to the volume and weight of the brain, he shows, inttr alia, that certain families develop like individuals-rthat iB, they have a period of growth, then a stationary period, then a period of diBease, previous to extinction. In families in the first period the head enlarges from generation to generation. The citizsns who wrought the Revolution of 1789 had bigger heads than their fathers. On the other hand, in families that are nearing extinction the head grows smaller. The sons of the present ruling families in France have such small heads, according to the author, that they require hats especially made for them. Among certain families newly risen from the common people the head increases from generation to generation. The wide-brimmed hats bolivars worn by the Republicans from 1830 to 1848 were very capacious. The quarter in which are the largest heads in Paris iB that of the schools. The hatters of the Faubourg St. Germain say they only fit fine heads. The Polytechnicians have larger heads than the St, Syrians, and the students of tbe normal school larger than those of St. Sulpice, etc The members of the clergy present a peculiar feature in these statistics. "In general," says M. Delaunay, "men from thirty io forty years of age have larger heads than those from twenty to thirty. Not so with ecclesiastics, for their heads cease to grow at about twentyfive. The cures, bishops, archbishops, etc., have no larger heads than tbe students of the large seminaries."

An Annapolis letter says : "At the instance of Mr. Albert Weil, of the firm of Guggenheimer & Weil, of Baltimore, a bill has been introduced to compel all persons engaged in the printing business of Baltimore, other than newspapers, to take out licenses, upon the payment of $100, in lieu of any tax which may now be aessessed upon the materials used in business. The penalty for violations is fixed at $100. This is to prevent amateur printers from prosecuting the business without paying the Stale something. Mr. Weil says : 'We find ourBolves placed in competition every d.iy with some of the 600 amateur printers now abounding in Baltimore city, the entire number of whom, I can safely slate, do not contribute one dollar to the revenue of the State or city. We also labor under the disadvantage of being unprotected from the solicitors of competing houses East and West, who annually carry oil' large orders, and should, in our estimation, be made to bear their proportion of the taxes which we, as loc.il trailer)., are compelled to do."
