BUI to Stop Btyar Colnaee-The Shadow that Stalks Before the Present Public Printer, and He Bails from Buffalo. ' Special to the Ohio State Journal. , Washington, Jan. 6. "The coinage committee will meet on Wednesday for the consideration of the Buckner bill," said Representative Lacey last night. "There is not the slightest prospect that the biU, which proposes to suspend silver coinage for three yeara, will be favorably reported.!!? "Do yon think that there is any chance for the passage of any such bill this session?""None whatever. The Senate may make a move in this direction by an amendment to the trade dollar retirement bill, bat it would be killed in the House through inability to reach it, even though a majority favor suspension of coinare.- which is doubtful." .. . -... : Pabllo Printer. "If we are to have a Democrat for pub-. lie printer, said a New York Republican member today, "I know no one whom I would rather see secure the prize than General Rogers of Buffalo, who now represents Erie county in Congress. General Rogers began his career as a printer when he was 12 years old. He was a good devil then, I am .told though I don't know what the devil that means. He was a, printer until the war broke out, when he threw up his position as foreman of the Courier printingestablish--ament to lead his company into the field. WANTE3,ra Roers waa a gallant soldier, rem!? efficient officer; and besides he "ao. i printer, ue nas Deen an extremely successful man. too. in poli- ucs. A ever obtrusive, he has always received more than his party support-when he has been up for office. He was elected to" Congress when no other Democrat in Erie county could have succeeded. He has filled several municipal positions with credit and ability, and as I said before, if Rounds must go I should like to try another "R." in spite ot the fact that we had too many of that letter last November.""What do you think of Rogers's prospects?""I know nothing atr-ut Governor Cleve- land's intentions in that respect and I do not think any one does, not even the general himself, bat I do know that Cleveland and Rogers have always been warm personal, as well as nolitical ndaj' - " Internal Bevenne. "If Hiscock's bill abolishing the internal revenue tax on cigars and frnit spirits had been a little stronger it would have caused us lots of ttouble." said a Kentucky whisky distiller last night. "You see, the bill proposed, besides abolishing entirely those taxes named, to remit the taxes upon spirits to be used in the arts and manufactures. Now, if fruit liquors were allowed to be manufactured free of tax the country would have been flooded with cheap brandies from California and other grape-growing points, and the grain distillers would find themselves arrayed against fruitdistillers with an advantage of JK) eents per gallon for the latter to start in with. As the cost of manufacturing ordinary whisky is only about 25 cents per gallon, you can see what an immense advantage this would give the fruit distiller. Then again the remission ef taxes upon spirits to "be used in the arts and manufactures would open the door for enormous frauds. .The moonshiner would flourish as he never flourished before, and the honest distiller would have suffered correspondingly. It was a blessing that the bill failed, thongh its strength was much greater than we thought it would be. It almost made my head turn white when I realized how near the bill came to passing." Costs of Collection. Secretary McCulloch has issued a report showing the cost of collecting revenue at ports of entry for the fiscal year ending June 30,1884: The port of Cincinnati aggregates a cost of $27,347, Cleveland $22,- ao, isanaueKy 4Uo, loieao Sossi. A Story tor the Marines. It was stated today that Senator Bayard had. determined not to accept a Cabinet position if he could get Senator Pendleton chosen, in other words, that Mr. Bayard regards Senator Pendleton as so eminently qualified for the head of the state department that he would much rather have the Ohio senator chosen than to take the position himself. v" , An Ohio Postofflee. - Anostoffice . has been established at J JjexmtJ, ferry county, and James F.

"egartrto the civil service reform law and I hajpen to know that it does not 'jibe' with me ideas of some of Buffalo'sleading-. Democrats,1 said a gentleman who -recently returned from that city. "I overheard a conversation in a Main street car while there. which convinced me that the Buffalo Democracy has some very hungry spoilsmen. The gentlemen engaged in the conversation were the Hon. 'Jakey' Stern, surrogate of Erie county, Democrat, and a gentleman who evidently had removed from Bdffalo. 'What do you think of the civil service law, Judge?' asked the latter. . '"Iam against it,' said the honorable, judge. We don't want civil service re form, we want good Democrats in the offices.' " 'But how are you going to get good Democrats in office without reforming the civil service?' " I tell you civil service reform is a humbusr. We don't want anv of it.' " 'But how would you run the government, judge, if you bad control ?' " 'I would fill the offices with good, honest men, good Democrats, who would do the work properly without reference to civil service reform. Civil service reform is a humbug and a fraud. We do not need any such laws, and I think the Democrats were fools to vote for it.' "Saying which the able probate judge arose and left the car. " "I leaned over and asked the inquisitor how it happened that so green a statesman filled such an important office. "He replied, 'Jake beg pardon, I shouldiave said judge Steve was Surrogate Ferris's clerk. When Ferris's term expired Jakey was nominated to succeed him by the Democrats. Cleveland pulled him through, and he has never recovered from the shock.' " This is a sample Buffalo Democrat. , Public Buildings. "What are the prospects for the passage of the public building bills?" asked your correspondent of a member of the public buildings committee this morning. . "The fact that two-thirds of the House resfint yesterday voted in favor of the ills for-buildings in Waco. Tex., and Car son City, JJev., is a pretty good indication that the others have a chance of passage," . was the reply. "What is the total amount involved in these bills?" "I can not answer exactly, beeause there have been several new ones introduced this session besides others, increasing the ljmit where appropriations have already been itoade. Notable among the latter are Brooklyn, Detroit. Rochester. Minneapo lis and Pittsburg. I suppose that the total amount provided to be expended by all the Senate and House bills combined, now on the calendars or in committee, will not fall much short of $20,000,000." "And you think this vast scheme can eo through?" ' KoaTfrSPi' "Yes, unless the papers get after us KnicinsD sgftin, as they did last year. If it hadn t L HUT W (. .. Vo.

Washington, Jan. is. lhe annual report of the Mississippi river commission was today transmitted to Congress. In speaking of the construction of the works, and referring to; the flood which occurred in the latter part of last February, the commissioner said: "The river remained high for a long period, and but little work could be done before the first of July. The damage to work was on the whole less than-might have been anticipated. Dykes 'sustained much less injury than has been the case in formerk years, doe no doubt to the improved methods of construction which have been adopted, but the revetment work, much of which had been left in an incomplete state, suffered severely. During the present season all damage has been repaired." - President Arthur to Go South. Washington, Jan. C Mr. T. C. More-land, president of the National Cotton Planters' association, called on the President today, with Senator Gibson, and formally invited him to be present at the openipg of the Universal Cotton convention to be held in the grand hail of the World's exposition at New Orleans, February 15th, under the auspices of the National Cotton Planters' association. The President evinced much interest in the great convention and said it had been his intention and earnest desire to visit New Orleans during the exposition, and it would afford . him additional pleasure to be present at the opening of the convention. He therefore accepted the invitation to attend, unless official duties intervened to prevent his going. President Robert Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio road, tendered the President his private cars for his party, with such special railway facilities as may be needed. The statement that the President would visit the exposition on January 15, was a mistake, as it will be impossible for him to leave Washington this month. - - No Open Boors. Washington, Jan. 6. The Senate committee on foreign relations decided to report adversely upon the resolutions looking to the discussion of the commercial treaties with open doors. The Nicara-guau treaty wili probably be reported Thursday. Capital Motes. The estimated cost of collecting the revenue at ports of entry for fiscal year is $G,455,-762.

IXDIAIT LEASES. The Senate Committee Taking Testimony on the Subject. ' Washington, Jan. 6. The investigation of the Indian land cases was. begun by the Senate committee on Indian affairs today. John H. Scott, agent for several tribes in Indian territory, was called. All of the tribes under his charge, he said, had leased portions of their lands. The Poncas had leased 50,000 acres, or one-haif of their possessions, at $17,000 per annum. The land was not sublet, but occupied by Mr. Sherburne, the lessee, for grazing purposes. The present policy . of leasing the witness considered the best. He was asked if the price paid by Sherburne was a fair one, but he was not prepared to express an opinion on this point. He thought, however, it would brine more I if open to competition. The Nez Perces leased a portion of their reservation for $2000 a year, the Pawnees leased 127,000 acres at three cents per acre for a term of ten years. The witness was present and advised the Indians in making some of these leases. ince public attention had been so widel. called to this matter the witness thoug the lands might now be leased for a hig er .price. John O. Tnfu, agent of five civilized tribes, testified that-the Cherokee strip, 200 miles long and 56 miles wide, was leased to an association for $100,000 year. The land would now probably rent for $30,000 more. The witness heard rumors of irregular payments of money to secure the lease, but could not trace them to a reliable source. Recess until evening.

ONE TICKET ADMITS YOU TO ALL Inclnding the Grand Wind np, With Con gressman FoPett iu the Bole of the "Crashed" The Investigation of Lot Wright Progressing. Cincinnati, Jan. 6. The congressional committee examining io the appointment of United States deputy marshals in this city at the last October election resum ed the examination of Marshal Wright this morning. The general method of questioning was to read the names of deputies appointed one by one, and ask the marshal if he knew these men, where they lived, who recommended them, and then Mr. Follett would ask if the witness did not "know they were thieves, murderers, ex-convicts just out of jail or work-house, charged with crimes, etc. The witness in most eases could not recollect the persons asted aoout, nor who recommended tnem, but said it was possible some were appointed who were not recommended at all, though ' his aim was to get men qualified lor the work in reference, to one colored man, he said he knew he was reported to be a bad man, but did not believe the reports were well founded. At any rate he was a man well qualified to meet the emergency which called for the appointment of the deputies, namely, tne danger oi repeating, tie was aware that some cf his men were not strictlv pious, but in making his appointments he nad regard to tne elements his deputies would have to deal with. He had never heard a single instance where any deputy naa rn any way prevented any citizen from casting a legai vote. Mr. Follett asked him if he did not know some of his deputies were keepers of crap-houses and low dives. The witness replied that he did not know the meaning ot those terms. In the appoint ment of- so many men in such a short time it would be difficult to get all with a perfectly clean history. A man may have been in the penitentiary and still be a good man for a deputy marshal at an election. . Mr. Follett "Xes, I suppose a man may nave been in jail yesterday and be a saint today. ! Mr. Wright A maa may have been in jail yeBterday and have been a saint yesterday." The witness repeated that he made a great effort to get good, efficient men, and most of them were such. Mr. Follett asked how many of the 600 revolvers distributed had been returned. The witness said between three and four hundred. "Still," said Mr. Follett, "yon had good men, who returned .nearly half of your revolvers." The witness said he expected to get more of these revolvers yet. He admitted having appointed three deputies in Reading, which was not a city of 20,000 inhabitants, and from which he had no written application. In the witness's view of the law he had power to send general deputies to everv voting place, in the Southern Ohio district, but would not be entitled to allow them pay for such service. He denied having had a consultation with Butter-worth and Brown or with the Republican committee, except in a casual way. In general he followed his own judgment. He denied that there was a plan agreed upon after consultation to appoint as many ex -policemen as possible which was afterward abandoned, and the other plan adopted. He took some advice about appointments from Ely Rathbone, of the pension department, who was also a general deputy of his, having been appointed a year or more ago. Mr. iollett asked if the witness appointed any deputy marshal who was a Democrat, knowing him to be such, with out a stipulation that he would vote for at least one Republican. .The witness re plied that he made no such stipulation. He appointed one Democrat, W. H, Ad ams, in the Twentieth ward, expf.,tme him to vote the ontire Democratic ticket. He appointed other Democrats, but could not tell their nsyiies. Mr. Follett Do you not. know that Bo-lan of Louisville and Sullivan of Chicago were here on election day, and that they went at out t he city savins; that more people should be shot down ? Mr. Wright Never heard any such statement until now. The same form of examination was continued at considerable length, Mr. Wright repeating so many times that he did not recollect, that the laugh was raised when he said he was told by someone that these pistols were coming to him, but he did not recollect who he was. Returning to the subject of those revolvers the witness said he had no written notice of their coming, and no positive knowledge where they came from, but supposed they were sent from thB Republican national committer. His direction how to return them wasby telegram from Fessenden, Chaffee or another member of the committee, but he could not tell from which one. It was his opinion that there would have been no election here in October if it had not been for deputy marshals, and that the deputy marshals would have been worthless without arms. Mr. Springer Didn't you have an election in November without marshals? Mr. Wright Yes sir. Mr. Springer And haven't you had manv before last October without marshals?Mr. Wright Yes, sir ; but I am certain there never was an election in Cincinnati where there was such deep feeling and ' such excitement on both sides as at the October election. I believe if we had not had deputy marshals our streets would have run with blood. " After requesting the witness to produce a number of papers that had been refer- red to, Mr. Follett announced that his examination was ended. ' Judge Foraker beganjthecross-examination by asking if the -witness had : knowledge of any Democrat being hin- dered or prevented from casting a legal vote at the October election Jby reason of the presence of deputy marshals. Witness said he had made 'diligent inquiry, and had not heard of a single instance. On the contrary, on election day a considerable number of Republican voters, particularly from the Eighth ward, came to his office bleeding from violence suf-ered there, and saying they could not vote. He receivedfalls that day from the Sixth, Fifth and other wards for more deputies on account of violence shown to Republican voters. This caused him to appoint deputies on election day. In the Eighth ward the deputies were knocked down and revolvers taken from them. The reason he sent more deputies to the Sixth ward, was that it was notorious for fraud and violence. At the last spring election the Democratic majority was increased from 368 to 955 in this ward, such a manifest fraud that even the CincinHati Enquirer called attention to it and denounced it, Their defiant hostility to the city and county authorities the night before the election was shown in the arrest of his deputies even when they were serving warrants, led him to expect trouble. To the best of his knowledge a thousand drputy sheriffs were appointed. Objection wasmade to a question as to the comparative vote in October and November. Mr. Follett said he did not want to investigate the November election. Judge Forakei argued it was proper to show the fact that at the November election, when there were no deputv marr shale, the candidates of Mr. Follett's party received fewer votes than Mr. Follett, in order to disprove the 'charge against Marshal Wright that his course prevented voters from exercising their right. Mr. Follett said this could not tend to prove anything at all, as in the case of New York City the variance of the vote for candidates of the same party was many thousands between the state and national candidates. The committee ruled that the total vote of the different parties at the October and November election might be put in evidence. TRADE TROUBLES. Works Resuming. Pitisbckg, Jan. 0. In addition to those already reported, the following mills have resumed, or will start up during the week: Chess, Cook & Co.'s nail-mill, Wilson, Walker & Co.'s iron-mill, Jones & Langh-lin's bar-mill, Singer & Nimmick's sheet-mill, and Black Diamond steel-works of Park Bro's & Co., at Sharon, Pa.

Grover Cleveland. A committee was appointed to notify Lieutenant Governor Hill of Governor Cleveland's resignation, and inform him that the Legislature was ready for business. Adjourned until Tuesday, January 13. Governor Hill in his message to the Legislature says: "It may be safely asserted that the administration of Governor Cleveland for two years past has more than met the just expectations of the people, and made its lasting impression1 upon the annals of the state. It has been brilliant in its sterling integrity, safe in its true conservatism, bold in its efforts for reform, faithful in its adherence to pledges and vigilant in its opposition to corruption." Its straightforward and business-like conduct, united with unquestioned honesty of purpose. has won for it and for himself the warm approval of his political friends, sincere respect of his opponents and unswerving and unselfish support of independent citizens everywhere. That he majr meet with the same degree of success in the greater office to which he has been called is the earnest wish of all citizens of this state and of every lover of good government.'.' .-. , A large number of people visited the executive chamber to bid farewell to Governor Cleveland. The Governor was in a genial, communicative mood and talked freely to the senators, and loked and laughed all afternoon. There was a constant succession of visitors to the chamber. The ladies appeared to predominate. - The Trouble Begins in Illinois. . . Springfield, III., Jan. 6. The Demo cratic House and Senate caucuses of the Illinois General Assembly met tonight. In the House caucus Edward L. Cronkrite of Freeport was nominated for Speaker. The Democrats have only one majority in the House, including Haines, who has heretofore been an Independent. Haines, it is understood, ' agreed to abide by the decision of- the caucus, but there is some talk about the Republicans nominating him for Speaker and thus obtaining the control of the House.

Mr. Follett makes three charges: First, that a large number of deputy marshals were appointed by the marshal of the Southern district of Ohio to serve on election day last October in the interest of Mr. Butter- worth. The second charge recites that these marshals were armed with British bull-dog revolvers and other firearms and deadly weapons, fer the purpose ol terrorizing and intimidating voters. The third charge states that the appointment of deputv marshals was in nearly every instance illegal, and that for these causes the election is wholly null and void. An Ex-Senator and His Money. San Francisco, Jan. 6. The Masonic Cemetery association has brought suit in the Superior court against ex-Senator Sharon and others for desecrating a grave during the Sharon divorce trial. A witness testified that Miss Hill, plaintiff in the sase, placed some of Sharon's undergarments in a newly-made grave for the purpose of acting as a love charm on the millionaire ex-senator.

Abiding Region. Special to the Ohio State Journal. New Straitsville, O., Jan. 6. By far the greatest excitement which has oc curred in the valley since the strike began was seen in Shawnee, one mile distant from this mine, today. Sergeant Arthur Wood and John McCarthy, accompanied by H. G. Simpson, the special corre spondent of the Stte Journal, went from here to Shawnee early in the afternoon on business. After this had been transacted they called at the office of the Weekly Banner to make, a friendly call. Remaining about fifteen minutes they were about to return, when they were met at the door by Marshal William Bailey, who, backed a large mob that had gathered outside, demanded to search: all' three. , He .-was of course, refused, sincel because, of the excited state of the place, it had been deemed essential toi safety to carry firearms, as every man now in -the valley is known to do. The marshal insisted, however, and the three retired to the office again determined not to submit. A part of the guard at this place was telegraphed for and in about half an hour they made their appearance, armed with Winchester repeating rifles. ; The mob had been constantly increasing, and by the time the guard appeared in the distance numbered at least 500 ruffians, all howling like mad men. They were especially Incensed at the two guards in the. Banner office, be-' cause they were known to be the men who had driven from this mine the three strikers with such effect last Friday, and the prospects were that the crowd would not deal gently with them if they once got them into their hands. The sight of the approaching guard created the wildest excitement, and the mob . increased in fury. ' Seeing that there would be great bloodshed if . the petards were allowed to come into the town, Simpson went out, having first submitted to the search and been found defenseless, and requested the guard to remain outside of the town, but to hold themselves in readiness to come to the rescue in case of vio lence. In the meantime Wood and McCarthy. a warrant having been secured, submitted to arrest and went in the midst of the mob to the office of Justice William- Davy, a man who is notoriously a moat rabid sympathizer with the strikers. On the way the desperadoes jostled and hooted the prisoners, and just as they were entering he door of the 'squire's office a large stone was thrown, very narrowly missing .McCarthy's head. As no attorney lives in the town, Simpson acted in that capacity, moving the discharge of the prisoners under section 7317 of the Revised Statutes, which provides that any person carrying arms at a time when it is necessary for his personal safety may go acquit. The marshal, who is known to be most violently in sympathy with the strikers, eo far prostituted his office and perjured himself as to swear that the community was a peaceful one, where no one was in need of bearing arms. - The justice showed himself extremely partisan oy interrupting me examination oi tne defendants in a violent manner. In rendering his decision he stated that any person, even officers of the law, were not justified in carrying weapons in the saintly precincts of Shawnee, and held the prisoners to appear before the grand jury, fixing the bond at S5UU each, the prison is a rickety wooden affair and the prisoners knew that to be incarcerated in it over night would be. certain death,, either by fire; dynamite of lynching, and asked permission to pay for conveyance to the county jail at New Lexington at once, but the miserable marshal would not consent to their going there. They were therefore locked up and two guards placed over them to keep back the 500 men who were awaiting to destroy them. Howls were set up for the arrest of Simpson, but no charge could be trumped up against him, and he demanded the protection of the marshal to go to the depot to telegraph for bondsmen. lie was walked down through the crowd, accompanied by the marshal, who carried a pistol in his hand, but bail had already been provided for. Messrs. W. F. Upton and J. C. Hamilton, operators at Shawnee, signed the bond. The prisoners were released but were not given their pistols, and they had great difficulty in eluding the mob, who cried, "Lynch them." In the meantime the word went out to lynch your correspondent, as it was suspected he had telegraphed for the guard, and it was only after lying quietly for an hour in a secluded place that he managed to escape them. Such experiences are quite exciting. It is a kind of excitement not often felt in Ohio and not soon forgotten. From the above it may be seen what kind of a civil officers Governor Hoadly has and is depending upon, and that his noted proclamation of last November is a miserable farce. Your corrspondent has been compelled to make seme reference to himself because there is no one else to make it for him. It is needless to say that he was not known as a State Journal correspondent or he would have fared much worse, and by the time the dispatch reaches this place he hopes to have skipped the traljale. John T. Norris was along the Hocking Valley road today and got further notice, "to git." He was posting up notices to trespassers to keep off the property of both the railroad and the coal companies, 1 when a crowd ot some 2UU strikers got after him. The mayor and marshal prevented trouble. Norris and the guards gave notice that any further trespass even by approaching on private property would be at the trangressor's risk. FOREIGN NEWS. MEXICO.

The liabili ties of the firm are said to be $60,000, Both prisoners moved in the first eociety. and were popular young men. Ashley was the "Beau Brummel" of the city.

A BOOM FOB BE EC HER. Sale of Seats in Plymouth Ghurch-Amounts Realized. Large New York, Jan. 6. The thirty-eighth annual sale of sittings in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, took place this evening at o'clock. At the time of opening the sale the church was well filled. Beeeher sat upon the platform, and near him H. B. Claflin and S. V. White. Promptly at the hour designated, the pastor arose and advancing to the desk, said: "I congratulate myself and I congratulate yor this evening. .- The- auspicious occasion has come around, which all good men long for through ' the year, ana - lomgm, T m order that we may express our wel come, we have selected two of the handsomest men in the congrega tion to sit upon the platform behind me." (Referring to Claflin and White.) "Yes, and both white men. too, put in Mr. Claflin.- "They are quarreling over the honors." added Beeeher. "This is the most favorable aspect of it. The other is that we secure good conduct on the part of men. Yon are almost ail ot you veter ans, and you know the way of the even-ins. The conditions will be read to you by our veteran auctioneer, who for love and not for money has served us many years and has been growing better and better every year. Now there is nothing more to state except to express the wonder that our rental should always come on stormy nights, but it mast be because we are set to make an example before the world that the more gloom and storm the more our virtues and faith shine forth, and we come out, in spite of wind and storm, victorious." E. E. Hovt then began the sale, the biddings being premiums for choice seats. "How much for hrst choice r he criea. "Two hundred and fifty dollars," eaid II. B. Claflin. "Three hundred dollars," shouted It. T. Bush from a place in the audience. "Three nunarea ana tweniy-uve uoi- lars." added Claflin. "Three hundred and seyenty-hve uoi- Jars, came from Bush. "Four hundred dollars," followed the dry goods merchant, and so on ran the bidding by jumps of 525 until SS00 was reached by Bush. "Our friend bids so well he mav have it." said Claflin at this point, and Bush chose pew No. 87, the rental oi wmcn is 9110 ovsiuea ?ouu premium."Name the Bethel," shouted the auc tioneer, referring to pew 89. It was secured by Mr. Claflin, without opposition, at 3500. The third choice was started at $400 and climbed to f 500, and was struck off to S. V. White. He chose 57, which rental is $90. The premiums realized from the sale of all other seats aggregated $15,390, with rentals added make the amount realized tonight $27,256.

The highest bid last year was by Claflin, $575 for first choice, the first choice tonight bringing $800. The foremost bidders last year were heard bidding to-night, and Beeeher was exceedingly cheerful at the conclusion of the sale. . An Englishman on England. New York, Jan. 6. George Augusta Sala, in aniaterview tonight, speaking of the business outlook in England, said: "Times are bad and business dull. I am a free trader, having been brought up in the school of Cobden and Bright, but must confess things look pretty blue over our way, and the Liberal party are coquetting with the free-trade doctrine and, some people are demanding protection. My idea is that the only remedy lies in emigration, not to the United States but to Australia. An Englishman only comes to this country to make money, but to Australia he goes to live. Although I am a free trader, I must admit there are many things in England that are too cheap, and sugar is one of them. My object on this trip is to increase my finances, and if the American people decrease it, I will repeat my. lectures when I return from Australia." A Dutiful Son. Chicago, Jan. 6.

FIRST LEGISLATIVE GRIND FOR 1885. The Solons Bring in Gripsacks Running Over With Bills and Constitutional Amendments and Unload Them on a Suffering Public. The first day's proceedings of the ad journed session of the Legislature were more prolific of ' business than the opening day usually is. A large number of important bills were introduced; Senator Pruden offered a joint resolution providing for sub mitting a liquor license amendment to the voters, and several joint resolutions providing for constitutional amendments abolish ing the October election were offered. Promptly at 3 o'clock the House was called to order by Speaker Marsh and prayer offered by .Rev. W. P. Aylesworth. The Speakermade a short speech in which he congratulated the members that all had retained health and strength to attend this session, and ventured the opinion that the burdens of the present session will oe as great as tnose ot tue past. Mr. Marsh said that for a state of the magnitude of Ohio there must necessarily - be much legislation of both a general and local nature, but expressed the hope that this General Assembly will not indulge in too much legislation, as has been the wont of some of its predecessors, expressing the opinion that the fault of the past has been too much legislation. The Speaker did not indicate what legislation he considered worthy or unworthy of enactment. The customary messages were sent to the Senate, and Messrs. Brunner, Cogan and Brown on the part of the House and O'Neill and Ely on the part ot the Senate, were appointed a special committee to notify the Governor that the Legislature was ready to receive any communication he might wish to make. In the time intervening between these preliminaries and the receipt of the Governor's message, Mr. Myers introduced a joint resolution requesting our representatives ui Congress to vote for and endeavor to secure the passage of Senator Miller's bill providing foT the general government paying to each state the amount, of money raised in each state by direct taxation in 1861. The amount which Ohio will get from the national government under this, should the Miller bill become a law, is about $1,500,000. The resolution lays over under the rules. Mr. Brunner of Wyandott county, who. since he has none ot tne attrioutes calculated to win fame, is making a dizzy chase after notoriety, eJfered a resolution affirming the belief of the Legislature in the existence of God since the election of Grover Cleveland to the presidency, and declaring its belief that Cleveland will make a clean sweep of the offices according to true Jacksonian principles. The resolution went over under notice to discuss by Mr. Hadley. The Governor a annual message, wnicn is given in another part of the paper, was read to the House, the clerk omitting much of it, since Mr-Weldy and other Democratic mem bers were impatient to have it concluded. i . : . . il.

Toledo, Jan. 6. In view of the recent order from the United States court forbidding the Michigan Central railroad to discriminate against the Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis narrow-gauge, in refusing to receive freight from that line at this point, notice was today served upon the narrow-gauge by the -Michigan Central to the effect that the latter would not,' after -idigbtrimpsmw, receive any freight from eitWihe Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific or Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis, or from any road that drained the same territory as the latter. The result of this order will doubtless be that the AV abash will send their through freight via the Butler branch to Detroit, where the Michigan Central will receive it. The narrow-gauge has refused to receive anv more through freight at St. Louis and is making an effort to have all trains now on the track between here and that point arrive here in time to make the transfer to the Michigan Central before $he order goes into effect tomorrow night. V. P. Statement. Boston, Jan. 6. The gross earnings of the Union Pacific railroad (whole system) for November were S'2,426,-000, a decrease of $199,000 from those of previous November earnings; net earnings were $1,284,000, an increase of f 127,-000. For eleven months ending December 1, 1884, the gross earnings show a decrease of $2,934,000, gross expenses a decrease of $749,000 and net earnings a decrease of $2,185,000. . A Pretty Stiff Penalty. Indianapolis, Jan. C.

Mr. Charles Traver. of the Chicago and Northwestern, is in the city, accompanied by Mrs. Traver. Congratulations are numerous.Superintendent Wagner, of the AVagner Sleeoinir Car Company, has resigned. This gives rise once more to the rumor that this company is to be consolidated with the Pullman. The railroad boys were delighted yes terday by the sudden appearance of Mr. Frank Lahm, of the West Shore, who was for many years in the Panhandle ticket office. He brings Mrs. Lahm with him. ' A possible solution of the trouble in the coal pool may have been found in the burning of the Bristol tunnel. This cuts off the Newark trade entirely, and the dealers of that city are already inquiring for suplies from the Ohio Central and Co lumbus, Hocking - valley and loledo. Should the latter road ship to them by way of the Baltimore and Ohio or Panhandle, its output will run up nearer that of the Ohio Central and thus adjust the present difficulty. Yet the probabilties are that so long as the reliability of the ..., !o nnaDttAnal nnnl will lia taken by it to Junction City and thence by the Baltimore and Ohio to Newark. SECRETARY BOHL TALKS. Be Says That McLean Iid Hot Receive 15,000 or Any Other Sam. Hon. .Henry Bohl, representative from Washington County and secretary of the Democratic Btate executive committee, yesterday made the following statement for publication : "I have noticed an item going the rounds of the press to the effect that Mr. John McLean received $25,000 from the' Democratic state committee to use for campaign purposes in Hamilton county, and appropriated it to his private use, and also that Chairman Bargar had intimated that there was some truth in the story. I desire to say that there is no truth whatever in the statement, and that Chairman Bargar has never intimated that there was. Mr.' McLean did not receive any money from the state committee, and so far as I know did not receive any from the national committee. On the contrary, Mr. McLean gave the Democratic state committee $2500 (or use in the State of Ohio.''- Hoi lor the Jackson Banquet.

The commissioner of internal revenue today i3ued a circular, which is approved by the secretary of the treasury, in regard to the assessment and exportation of spirit. After quoting the opinion of the attorney general on the subject, the circular says: There being no doubt of the legal right of the owner to X: port spirits free of tax. and no objection being seen to giving a time reasonable and fairly necessarv therefor, in deference to the above opinion the following modification of instructions from this office governing the assessment and exportation of domestic spiriU are if sued: Herubftercollectors will list and report monthly on form 23 for assessments all spirits wh'ch have Tenia! ned in the ware-,.uu mnre i han three year from the date of warehousinK' bonds, except Buch as are-, covered bv transportation- exportation V "prior to ihe' rlgte of the preparation of. the lists, and oP-llio conditions of which bonds there has been no breach. The collector will also report spirits for assessment which have remained in the distillery warehouse more than three vears from date of warehousing bond, althouuh covered by transpor- tation and exportation bonds. In case the spirits are not withdrawn from the warehouse within the time named in the bond for the delivery of thespirilsat the nortfrom which they are to be exported, all applications of the principal sureties for an extension of time in any transportation and exportation bond conditional for the delivery of spiriU to the collector of customs, or for delivery thereof on board ship, shoald be in writing, specifically setting forth the gronnds therefor, and the collector of Internal revenue will forward the application to the commisxioner of internal revenue for action. The officer forwarding the application will indorse his opinion thereon as to the propriety of granting the same, and will certify as to whether the bond is good and sufficient, and as to whether any loss will probably occur by granting such extension.

When to ttcgtu Ouiua: to School. t $ "J, Dr. Jacobi, who has made this a special v study, concludes that, as a rule, sr-waiM .- should not be sent to school before he it eight years old. Not until this age is ita brain substance sufficiently developed. An infatit's brain is soft. It contains a large percentage of water. It is deficient in fat and phosphorus, on which to a great extent intellectual activity depends. The convolutions are fewer. The different parts of tho braiu do not crow In size add weight alike the normal proportion of the front, back and lateral portions not being reached before the age of ten. So, too, the normal proportion of the chest to the lower portions of the body is not attained until the eighth year, while that part of the back (the lumbar) on which tbe sitting posture mainly depends is even then only moderately developed. About the fifth and sixth years the base of the brain grows rapidly, the frontal bones exieud forward and upward and the anterior portion grows considerably. S: ill tbe white substance the gray is the basisof intelligence and the large ganglia preponderate. It is not until about the eighth year that the due proportion of parts is reached, and a 'certain consolidation, both of the brain and the organs of the body generally.

"No. sir," said Pat, with an inimitably shrewd leer, ' "but if he saw the big gentleman he'd mot likely say, 'Whist, Pat, but it ought to be five shillings.' " Have the Water - Troughs Near Ry. The country over, too much carelessness is shown in the matter of providing live stock with drink in the winter time. Animals suffer detrimentally if not provided with pure water as often as they desire. It is a poor arrangement that re- -' quires farm animals to go a long distance in alVkiiids of weather for their drink.-Often they will suffer thirst for days rather than brave bad weather to get it. Then when they do get to the trough, or stream, tbey gorge themselves perhaps with the water, ice-cold, in a way that is anything but fair to the system, and suffering and often harm ensues.
