THE CITY.
Fire.
Yesterday a two-story house, corner
of Victoria avenue and Twentieth street,
was discovered on fire. The flames were
extinguished without giving the alarm.
Damage slight.
Handsome Recognition.
The exercises of the St. James Sunday
school were rendered unusually interesting
last Sunday morning- by the presentation
of a handsome, oval-shaped gold medal to
Miss Carrie Banks, in recognition of her
valuable service in the Sunday school
cause.
Enterprise of Ship-Owners.
It is .stated on good authority that the
Morgan Steamship company contemplate
having built during the coming summer-
two new steamers to ply between New
York and the gulf ports that will surpass
in tonnage and model any vessel now in
the line. They are designed to carry 7000
bales of cotton.
Aquatle.
Persons desiring to get up four or six
oar barge crews, to pull in the races that
the Galveston rowing club purpose getting
up on Mardi Gras, should send in their
names, at once, to the captain of the club,
John J. Hand. The outside crews that
pulled last fall against crews of the row-
ing club will receive the best attention.
Don't delay this matter, as the great day
is drawing nigh.
Complaining About Car Tickets.
Some time ago a citizen took occasion to
complain to tho treasury department with
regard to street-car tickets being used as
change in the city. Secretary Sherman
has answered complainant that nothing
can be done, and that small coin of all de-
nominations can be had on application at
the First National bank.
DEMOCRATIC DOINGS.
THE CLASS COMMENCE TO
LECT.
COL-
Upland Rice for Seed.
Capt. Sidney Scudder, correspondent of
the department of agriculture, has l^-
ceived from that department samples of
?olden hull upland wee for distribution,
his rice was raised by J. F. Gantham, of
Marion, South Carolina, without irrigation,
on land that would produce about ten
bushels of corn to the acre. The same
land yielded forty bushels of rice. In
experiments with this rice the same culti-
vation is given as to spring wheat.
Council Fizzle.
The council met at 5.80 P. M. Present:
Mayor Stone, and aldermen Davis, Runge.
Barry, Zieglor, Collins, Campbell, Weg-
ner fend Richards.
Alderman Marlow was present when the
meeting Convened, but left before the
calling of the roll, thus destroying the
necessary quorum of nine aldermen.
Chief or police Jordan, under direction of
the mayor, went after and overtook alder-
man Maflow, who informed him that he
Vould not attend.
Moved to adjourn until 8.30 p. m. Mon-
day. Carried.
Dr. Dowellli Condition.
The friends of Dr. Greensville 'Dowell,
who has been seriously indisposed for two
or three days, will be glad to learn that he
is rapidly recovering. The alarming
rumors on the streets as to bis condition
were exaggerate \. Dr. Towsev, his phy-
sician, was seen by a reporter fit H o'clock
last evening, and stated that he had just
left Dr. Dowel*, who was greatly im-
proved, was up and dressed, had regained
nis appetite, having enjoyed his dinner,
and would probably be on the professional
war path again in a day or two.
Funerals.
The remains of Maggie, wife of Henry
Jvftne, arrived on the noon train yesterday
from Palestine, and will be buried to-
day at 10 a. M. Mrs. Kane died at
Palestine after ft three days sickness.
R. B. Dean, a well-known and highly re-
spected citizen of this citv2 died at 4
o'clock Sunday morning, at his residence,
corner Thirteenth street and avenue H.
He was a member of the Galveston Artil-
lery, and at his request was buried in the
uniform of the company. The funeral
took place at 4 o'clock Sunday, afternoon,
the Artillery company accompanying the
remains to their last resting-place. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr.
Briggs. The deceased leaves a wife and
four children to mourn his loss.
Nabbing an Alleged Defaulter.
Saturday a telegram was received by
chief of police Jordan, asking him to ar-
rest a man by the name of James Jones,
supposed to be in the city, and who is ac-
cused of being a defaulter to the city of
Selma, Ala. The dispatch referred * the
chief to a pnrty in this city for descrip-
tion, but, as the party designated could
not remember the accused, a second
dispatch had to be asked, giving a descrip-
tion of Jones. Capt. Jordan, after a search,
found an individual answering the de-
scription in front of the American house,
on Market street, between Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets. The arrest was effected
and papers telegraphed for immediately.
Jones occupied the position of market
collector, and is accused of decamping
with funds in his possession.
The Transportation Problem.
Mr. J. S. Brown, chairman of the com-
mittee appointed by the business men to
wait upon the Morgan line in regard to
discriminations in freights, called upon
Capt. Fowler, agent of the Morgan line,
yesterday, and conferred with him upon
the subject. He afterward stated to a
reporter that Capt. Fowler informed him
ill-. Whitney, to whom the committee
would have to look for a definite answer
to their representations, would probably
be in Galveston the latter part of this
month or first of next. From his inter-
view wkh Capt. Fowler Mr. Brown felt
greatly encouraged ana expressed confi-
aenoe that the business men of Galveston,
bv united action, will be able to accom-
plish much in the advancement of the city's
interests with respect to transportation
lines.
Platters and Things.
The " Little Sisters " will have a fancy
dress and masquerade hop to-night, on
the corner of Twelfth street and Broad-
way.
It is stated that a Spanish steamer is
about to begin regular trips between this
port and Havana in the cattle trade.
The masquerade given Saturday night
by Minerva benevolent association was
such a success that the executive commit-
tee have under advisement its repetition on
Mardi Gras night.
Mrs. Carrey was yesterday arrested,
charged with swindling Mrs, M. E. Easton
of hair valued at over £20.
Yesterday morning by some accident to
the wires of the fire alarm several bells
were tapped, but, beyond putting the fire
boys on the qui vive. nothing resulted.
Again at 5.15 P. M. a similar false alarm
was given.

ITIcetinsrs In the Various Wards
Last Muht-Preliminary Steps in
the City Campaign.
FIRST WARD.
By a misunderstanding two meetings
were held in this ward. The place desig-
nated was the first ward market, but the
two meetings were held within a few min-
utes of each other on the sidewalk. The
president was at neither. Of one meeting
Capt. A. J. Moore was made temporary
president, with Mr. G. F. Hughes as secre-
tary. Messrs. John Cossar, C. (x. Bush
and J. M. O. Menard were elected dele-
gates to the city convention. Nothing
was done towards a reorganization of the
ward club, that matter being postponed
till a larger attendance could be had.
At the other meeting Mr. John Smith
was called to the chair and Mr. O. S. Ea-
ton was appointed secretary. The num-
berpresent was largely in excess of that
at Capt. Moore's meeting. Messrs. S. Mar-
tinelli, John Smith and J. Swanfeld were
elected delegates. Several greenbackers
were present, and the irrepressible Houla-
han made a national greenback speech,
which was listened to good-naturedly. No
effort was made to reorganize the ward
club, that business being postponed till
later in the campaign.
second ward.
The meeting for this ward was called at
Dirk s hall. There was an encouraging at-
tendance. Mr. David Wakelee was elected
president and Mr. John Hawley secretary
for the unexpired term ending with th^
month. Messrs. Hawley, Burke and Mac-
Mahon were appointed a committee to can
vass the ward and enroll democratic
voters.
Adjourned to meet Friday night next,
when delegates will be elected.
THIRD WARD.
The meeting was called to order at 8
o'clock by W. R. Johnson, secretary, in the
absence of the president, who stated that
the object of the meeting was to consider
the rules and regulations governing clubs
promulgated by the democratic executive
committee, published in the News.
On motion, Thos. Goggan, county com-
missioner, was called to the chair. Mr.
Goggan read the rules as published. Mr.
Matt Young moved tho adoption of the
rules. Amended to be adopted by sections.
The fourth rule was struck out; the
sixth was amended by striking out the
words, 44 the presiding officer to deposit
the ballots;" the seventh was amended by
striking out the words 44 one week," so that
all members of the club can at once par-
ticipate in its proceedings. With these ex-
ceptions the nine rules promulgated by
the executive committee were adopted.
Dr. C. H. Wilkinson was elected presi-
dent by acclamation, and W. R. Johnson
was similarly complimented for the office
of secretary, both officers to hold over un-
til the first Saturday in March, 1880. Mr.
D. J. May was elected to membership
in the county executive committee from
the third ward.
Adjourned subject to call of the presi-
dent.

ecutive committee, but they were finally
adopted. A motion was made to appoint
a c< 'inmittee of five, to be known as the
enrollment and investigating committee.

of all present having been enrolled, Mr. S.
B. Noble was appointed temporary secre-
tary.

ganized by the enrollment of a good list of
the voters of that precinct, much inter-
est being manifested by the best citizens
in the perfection of the organization. In
order to enabte those who could not attend
the meeting last night it was determined
to open books for membership at different
points in the wards, one book being placed
at Ruenbuhl's grocery, corner of 27th and
K. All citizens of the precint were invited
and urged to enroll their names.

OPENING NIG ST OF THE OPERA.
Emma Abbott and the Hess Grand
Opera Company Appear in ITIiffn-
ou Refore an Enthusiastic Audi-
ence.
The opera-house was last night the
scene of a most fashionable audience which
combined at once the elite and musical
classes. Ambroise Thomas's grand opera
of Mignon was the attraction. Its music
and arrangement are simple but full of
beauty, and serve both to delight the
ear with rippling arias and grand
symphonies, while the artists are afforded
the widest scope for vocal gymnastics.
Emma Abbott as Mignon is an evidence of
art surpassing nature, and it can be said
with truth that the most fastidious concep-
tion of the role must have been fully sat-
isfied with her rendition. Whether it is
that remembrance of her miserably ro-
mantic youth aid her in this character, or
whether it is only her genius which gives
such a tinge of nature to her
acting, is a matter which can
be better decided when she
is heard in other roles. Her voice is not
strong, but singularly clear and sweet,
with a rich, mellow timbre that ranks it
high in quality. It was displayed to great-
est advantage in the staccato movement in
the second act, which brought down the
house in enthusiastic applause. Mr. Castle's
voice was somewhat husky at the be-
ginning of the opera, but found
full force in his solo in the
last act, which was loudly ap-
plauded. Mrs. tSeguin possesses" a rich
contralto voice, which she had small op-
portunity of showing in the part of Fred-
erick. Miss Annie Montague sings very
artistically. The basso of Mr. Rvse is ex-
cellent and a deep richness which ranks
it among the very best basso on the lyric
stage. Mr. Ryse has also the faculty of
being able to act naturally while singing,
an accomplishment which most opera
singers either disdain or fail to appreciate.
To-night the chcf cPaeuvre of Auber, Fra
Diavolo, will be rendered. The plot is as
simple and romantic as the music is
sprightly and brilliant. Fra Diavolo is a
notorious bandit, whose daring exploits
have called for the sending of military
against him. Like many great robbers
his virtues are as much to be admired as
his deeds are terrifying. As commander
of the expedition, comes a captain Loren-
zo, whose passion for Zerlina furnishes the
romance Of the opera. She is by her
father promised in marriage to a rich
rival, and as the wedding is fixed for
the following day, all things portend
but misery for the lovers. That very
night, however, FraDiovolo, in an ateempt
to rob two rich English guests of the inn.
is found in Zerlina's bed-room, and to save
himself he explains that his presence is at
the solicitation of Zerlina Lorenzo is
wild with indignation and disappointment,
but accidentally Fra Diavolo's subterfuge
is discovered, he is decoyed and shot, and
with his expiring breath clears Zerlina
from all suspicion. Lorenzo then comae in
for the reward offered for Fra Diavolo,
and the lovers are united as the curtain
falls.
Colored Caucus.
The voters of the eighth ward were call-
ed to meet last night at John Lertore's
hall, corner Twenty-sixth street and ave-
nue L. About fifty, principally of the col-
ored persuasion, responded, and after sign-
ing their names to tne roll they went into
a temporary organization. Following this
a permanent organization was effected,
with Lewis Griffin as president; Wm. Tay-
lor, vice president; A. Bee, aefcfletary, and
A. Solomon, assistant secretary. An ad-
journment was then had until Thursday
night, when the same voters will re-assem-
ble at the same hall to nominate an alder-
man for the eighth ward.

Consolidating; Corporations.
Yesterday the stockholders of the Gal
yeston city railroad company held a meet-
ing to vote upon the proposed consolida-
tion of that company with the People's
railway company. Over two-thirds of the
stock was represented, and the vote was
unanimously in favor of the proposed
combination.
It is stated on good authority that the
new management will appoint J. C. Ogle
superintendent of the consolidated lines,
and will also begin preparations for in-
creased facilities to the patrons of the
roads. The market street road to the de-
pot was opened again for travel yesterday
evening.
The terms of sale by which the Galveston
City company is to become the owner of
the People s railway is to give the stock-
holders of the latter company 5000 shares
of stock and bonds, to the amount of $100,-
1)00. Under tho prospect of the negotia-
tion being made final the stock of both
companies jumped up several points.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
People's railway company was held late in
the afternoon and unanimously confirmed
the sale. This renders the negotiation
final.
All About a Dog.
Noah Green and Ed. McCullough got
into a fight last night on the corner of
Bath aveuue and Market street, about a.
dog. A few blows passed between*'.the"
combatants, when they were arrested and
taken to the police station by officer Wa-
ters. They were released until this morn-
ing to appear before the recorder.

Gillett minors, contest between Mrs.
Heffernon, one of the minors, "against her

questions in Texas jurisprudence: 1st.
Where insurance is effected by the hus-
band and the language of the policy is
''for my wife and my children by me." in
the distribution of this fund, whether the
children and wife take per capita or per
stirpes ? 2d. Where the husband makes a
deed to his wife, reciting as consideration
a certain sum of money paid, and "love
and affection,'" and makes U9e of this lan-
guage, "and for the purpose of making
such provision for the maintenance and
education of my children as I am now
able," whether tne wife under this convey-
ance takes the property absolutely in her
own right: or whether by the terms of the
instrument there is a trust in favor of the
children for the purposes expressed ?

On entering Galveston the traveler first
sights the Tremont House, situated in
the central portion of the city, towering
above all other buildings. This magnifi-
cent structure, erected at a cost of up-
wards of $400,000, is now open to the pub-
lic. The owners have placed the house
under the able management of Mr. Geo.
McGinlev. who thorougly understands the
wants of nis patrons. They have spared
no expense in newly carpeting ana fur-
nishing the building throughout, and the
delightfully ventilated apartments afford
every convenience of a modern hoteL

Speech of Congressman HIIUs on
Amendment to tlie Army Appro-
priation Sill.
[Report of House Proceedings, Feb. 4.]
At 12.30 p. m. the house, on motion of
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, wont into com-
mittee of the whole on the army appropria-
tion bill.
Mr. Durham, of Kentucky, submitted an
amendment reducing the army to 20,000
enlisted men. He said that, for his own
part, he would prefer to have the number
reduced to 10,000, but be might be mistaken
in his idea that that was a sufficient force,
and he had, therefore, moved to make it
20,000, which was evidently sufficient for
the needs of the country.
Mr. Whitthorne, of Tennessee, moved to
reduce the number to 15,000, and argued in
favor of a better organization of the mili-
tia, which was the sure reliance of a popu-
lar government.
Mr. Conger, of Michigan, was surprised
that his friend from Tennessee (Mr. Whit-
thorne) had neglected to mention the navy
as one of the bulwarks of the nation. That
gentleman had been for several years
chairman of the committee on naval af-
fairs, and had spent his vacations in build-
ing up the navy of the L'nited States, and
ho (Mr. Conger) was astonished to learn
from the gentleman that the navy formed
no part or the defenses of the country. He
wished that there was a chairman of the
naval committee who would stand by the
navy, and honor and glorify it. How
pleasantly foreign nations would quote tho
remarks of the chairman of the committee
on naval affairs of the United States house
of representatives, when, in speaking of
national defenses, he had not alluded to the
narv at all.
Mr. Whitthorne replied that since he had
read the remarks of the senator from Maine
(Mr. Blaine)—if he had no other prior con-
viction on the subject—he would have
been sure that there was no navy to talk
aboUt. It might be that he had that opin-
ion now, but he would say to his friend
from Jrfichigan (Mr. Conger) that in using
the general term "militia' he had used it
as referring to the body of the people from
whom were recruited the forces on land
and sea.
Mr. Pewitt, of New York, said that in
previous congresses the committee on ap-
propriations nad reported bills providing
for the maintenance of an army of 20,000
men. Those bills had passed the house
and gone to the senate. The number had
been invariably rejected at the other end
of the capitol, and the house hail always
receded because it dia not want to let the
bills fail. This year the committee had
reported a bill providing for 25,000 men,
lxicause it would have been idle to have
done otherwise. The changes had been
made at the other end of the capitol by the
votes of republicans and democrats alike,
and, therefore, the committee had|:onc!ud-
ed no longer to raise the question.
Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, sent to the clerk's
desk and had read a letter of George
Washington, in which he stated that a
standing army was not to be dreaded, but
that the want of one might be ruinous.
The vote was then taken on Mr. Wit-
thorae's amendment, and it was defeated.
Mr. Cox, of New York, moved to amend
by fixing the force at 17,000. His friend
from New York (Mr. Hewitt) had given as
a reason why the bill provided for 25,000,
that the senate would not agree to what
the house demanded. He (Mr. Cox) did
not lay much emphasis on that sort of rea-
soning. The* house was the popular
branch, and should be first consulted. He
believed that but for the threat of Gen.
Grant, commander in chief of the army,
whose special love of military power had
been aggrandized by his travels in Eu-
rope, and but for the fact that there was
an army of 20,000 in 1877, the popular will
of the country would not have been
-stricken down by the inauguration of the
present occupant of the white house.
Mr. Atfcins, of Tennessee, said the house
had, on three different occasions, voted for
25,000 as the regular force of the standing
army. That had been the expression of
the house, and the committee on appropri-
ations, knowing that in order to get this
bill at all the number would have to be
fixed at 25,000, nad fixed that number in
the bill. He was no more an advocate of
large standing ai*mies than any other gen-
tleman on the floor. Be was on ro jora as
opposed to large standing armies, but the
cammittee on appropriations desired to be
practical in this matter.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, said that there
seemed to be a fear that a standing army
would destroy tho liberties of the people.
One of the fathers of the house (Mr. Cox)
reminded the house that a standing army
had overturned the liberties of the people
on one occasion. That was when there
had been about 1800 men in the District
of Columbia, in 1S77. Eighteen would
have effected the same purpose. He (Mr.
Cox) had said that it had been occasioned
by a threat of Gen. Grant. If that was
so. be (Mr. Mills) thought that Gen. Grant
could have done it without any troops.
If that gentleman wanted to get relief he
had better abolish Gen. Grant. (Laugiater
on the repubhead side of the house.) The
United States had a territory, Iving from
ocean to ocean, covering 3,000,COO square
miles, inhabited by 45,< 00,000 people. It
had an army which could not maintain a
skirmish line across it, and yet gentlemen
said that the liberties of the people were
imperiled by an army of 25,000. The
border had been a running, bleeding
wound ever since Texas had been admit-
ted into the union. It had always been so.
Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, made some
remark which was not heard by the re-
porter.
Mr. Mills, of Texas—Yes; you would
leave Texas bleeding until every man,
woman and child had been slaughtered if
you could make $10,000 economy, and go
before your people for your re-election.
When Texas was admitted to the union
there was a treaty by which the govern-
ment bound itself that it would protect
her against foreign enemies. It bound
itself to do that thing, and ever since we
have been in we have been assuming our
own defense. Talk about economy'
(Laughter on the republican side.)
Mr. Townshend—Of that 25,000 how many
were kept on the Texas border?
Mr. Mills—Not enough to protect it.
Mr. Townshend—How many were kept
on the Indian border i
Mr. Mills—Not enough to protect it.
Mr. Townshend—There were only 300
with Custer when ho was destroyed.
Mr. Mills—Then he did not have
enough, and it was because of your false
economy that Custer bled. Talk about
economy when your border is laid in
blood and ashes! Economy s^-erns to be the
only idea which has anv existence in the
statesmanship of this house. A govern-
ment is an institution to protect her peo-
ple, and cannot fail to do it without being
guilty of dishonor. (Applause on the re-
publican side.)
Mr. Townshend said that the laugh came
from the same quarter that it did in 1851,
in France—it came from the friends of im-
perialism. (Loud laughter and applause
on the republican side.) His friend from
Texas (Mr. Mills) had charged the demo-
cratic party with being the cause of Cus-
ter's death because of its economy. Not-
withstanding that there was an army of
25,000, Custer had been compelled to face
2000 red devils with 300 men. Where was
the balance of the army ? In the southern
states building up imperialism. (Laughter
and applause on the republican side.)
Air. Kimmell, of Maryland, suggested
that the real point of objection was not so
much to the strength of the army as to
the uses to which the army was applied,
and he called attention to the fact that the
present secretary of war was endeavori ag
to have the posse comitatus clause of the
last army apppropriation bill modified or
repealed. The object of such repeal was
to establish a military despotism, pure
and undetiled.
Mr. Keiter, of Ohio, spoke satirically of
the family quarrel that nad broken out on
the democratic side of tho house, on the
troubled waters of which, he said, he
would like to pour oil. He reminded the
gentleman from Marland (Mr. Kimmell)
that the governor of that state had, in
July, 1877, appealed most piteously to the
president for troops to be sent to Balti-
more to put down a riot that could not be
controlled by the militia. He also assert-
ed that if it had not been tor the few
troops gathered in Washington by presi-
dent Grant two years ago the decision of
the electoral commission would have been
overturned by violence and revolution,
and a man would have been put in the
presidency who had not been elected by
the people. For himself, he was in favor
of a larger armv than one of 25,000 men.
Mr. Cox, of New York, said there was
not a member on the floor who did not
understand very well that but for a certain
menace, and but for sending out orders for
troops and artillery to come to W ashing-
ton, the electoral commission would never
have been created: timid citizens, money
lords and bondholders, when that menace
came from the chief executive, and when
all the arrangements had beea mada—a,
they were being mode now for 188D—had
been frightened, and that might have been
the procreant cause of the electoral com-
mission. The gentleman from Texas (Mr.
Mills) had caused a smile on the other side
of the house by ridiculing democratic ap-
prehensions of a standing army. Where
had that gentleman got the right to call
the democratic side of the house to account
for itspropo3ed action?
Mr. Mills—I got it from my constituents
(applause on the republican side), and I
will never fail to exercise it, either.
Mr. Cox intimated that, whereas other
members represented the United States,
the gentleman (Mr. Mills) seemed to rep-
resent only the lone star state. He ap-
plauded the gentleman's patriotism, but it
was local. The gentleman should enlarge
his views, should read history and study
Jefferson, and then he would be not only a
democrat but a republican.
An effort was made to out a stop to the
discussion l nt <principally by the vote of
the republic -n side), it was defeated.
Mr. Milio, in reply to Mr. Cox, suggested
that he (Mr. Mills) was not so extensively
known as that gentleman, and did not (as
he) feel the buixien resting cm his shoulders
of representing all the people of the United
States. That gentlemen proposed to with-
draw military protection from the people
of Texas and to offer up that people as a
sacrifice to appease the thirst for economy.
For himself he was merely the local rep-
resentative of his own constituents, but he
would not consent to the sacrafice. He
ridiculed the idea of an effective militia
force, and said that at the last war the
militia troops were the laughing stock of
both armies.
Mr. Harrison, of Illinois, commented on
Mr. Keifer s speech, saying that that gen-
tleman had "«poken out in school,'' and
had let out what he had not expected to
let out. That was that but for the army
Mr. Tilden would be the president of the
United States. That was what the demo-
crats had been telling the people for two
years. They had told the people that
troops bad been gathered in the Washing-
ton arsenal, and that guns had been trained
upon the capitol for the purpose of intimi-
dating members of the house. The present
executive was following in the footsteps of
his iron predecessor, while the latter was
carried about from country to country on
United States frigates, learning the ways
of kings, so that he might come back with
an army behind him to govern the people
of the United States. [Derisive laughter
on the republican side.]
Mr. Townsend, of New York—I confess
there were two great wrongs done in this
country two y^ars ago. First, when the
people of the United States refused to elect
the sage of Gramercy park president.
(Laughter.) It was a great and biting
wrong. Tlie second wrong was that the
ptx>ple of Oregon and South Carolina and
Florida refused to be bought by Grover,
by Pelton. by Weed, or by any other man
sent into the field. (Laughter.) It was a
grievous wrong. It was a fraud! (shout-
ing.) fraud! (Loud laughter.) They would
not be bought—fraud! Then a scheme was
decided upon in this house by whieh the
people were to be thimble-rigged out of
their choice. The electoral commission
was forced upon us; it was forced down
the throat of tne republican party. Sixty-
nine of us refused to be thimble-rigged,
but they carried it, and then the machine
that was gotten up would not work; it
would not go the way they wanted it to.
Here was fraud! fraud! (Loud laughter.)
It made our ears ring with the sweet
sound of fraud! Not that merely, but
when it was found that the thimble-rig-
ging machine was not going to do
its purpose, the distinguished gentleman
from Ketucky (alluding to Mr. Henry
Watterson) proposed to bring 100,000 raga-
muffins here to overawe and take posses-
sion of the government. They did not
come. (Laughter.) It was a great wrong;
it was a fraud 1 (Loud laughter.) Still I
will say no more on the subject; but there
is one subject on which I have feeling. I
am satisfied that what has been said about
" imperialism " will alarm the good people
of this cormtry; but I want to say to
those good people, in order to soothe and
solace them, and give them reliance in
case any man undertakes to assume the
certificate, 22, and $11,000 Kansas and
Texas 52>£@51%.

market worried the bears a deal this

lifted from the market, and possibly a low-

reduced to 10 points.

[Special Correspondence of the News.1
New* York, Feb. 5.—Agents of banks
and bankers are going round and offering
money, both on call and paper, on the
most tempting terms. This is a somewhat
new business for the parties in question to
run about with their money for a custom-
er, but it shows, first, the great abundance
of money, and, second, that business does
not begin to be lively enough to absorb
it—certainly not active enough to seek the
capital—rather than the capital seeking
it. Monevin apparently unlimited amounts
is offered at 1 per cent, per annum for 90
days, on pledge of governments and se-
curities equally good, while the stock ex-
change gets all it wants at 2 per cent.
Three months indorsed paper is done as
low as 3^ per cent., while single 6 months
has been placed at 4$£@5.
In the London market to-day money is
rather dearer, with an advance in the
street rate of }{(<%% per cent., bringing it
up to within % of £ne bank.
'Government securities have sold quiet
to-day, with prices not materially chang-
ed. A" Washington dispatch says: "No bonds
sold for resumption purposes are deducted
from the aggregate issues authorized by
acts of 1870-'71.
There was more movement in Kansas
and Texas bonds and shares to-day, with
an advance in both. The shares rose to
6% and the 1st mortgages to 51 with sales
of $20,000, against 50 yesterday. The sec-
onds improved to 16^ with sales of $30,000.
Virginia consuls were bid for at 73.
Canada Southerns were in demand at
78%. Lehighs sold at 46>£, and $3000
Louisianas 57>^.

Boston is said to have been hit about
$450,000 by the recent wool failures^ and
the whole trade is somewhat diminished
thereby. Prices are really no worse, but
there is a more cautious feeling and a
sharper scrutiny of names. The Sayles
failure is said toiave been quite a surprise
to the tra/Je here, as their paper ranked
pretty good.
It appears to be accepted by drawers of
exchange this eveninar that the sales of 4
per cents abroad by the syndicate are not
balancing the return of Ws—a fact al-
ready hinted in these dispatches several
days ago.
Sterling is therefore strong—particularly
on short and cable. The bank of Montreal
bought all the sight exchange it could get
at 4.87%, and l-32d. added. Cables were
done at 4.88%; Ws were 4.65#@4.S5J£ for
business, net.
Cotton was held with a firm hand in the
afternoon, after opening 1@2 points lower.
Indeed, the close aiowed a gam on the day
of 2@4 points. Februaries 9.55, Marches

came "weak," but, considering our heavy
receipts, the wonder is she was not down.
New York, Feb. 6.—The Bank of the
State is to-day offering money at % per
cent, per annum for 90 days on govern-
ments. This unheard-of figure is under-
stood to be a bait for clientage which the
bank does not at present possess. Other
banks do not follow in this per cent,
wake, as far as can be learned, 1 per cent,
being the lowest figure of banks like the
First National and Bank of New York.
The State, as well as other banks engaged
in lending 90 day money cheap, are, of
of course, engaged in the 4 per cent, sub-
scription business, and they are thus able
to loan money at >£@1 per cent, because
of the large amounts of 5.20s in their pos
session against the 4 per cents to be deliv-
ered, but which are exceedingly slow in
being delivered.
Owing to the rapid passages now being
made by many of the European steamers
the bank of Montreal today began a
change in their manner of drawing bills
on London. This change embraces the
drawing of bills at seventy-two days in-
stead or seventy-five days. The former
bill being equal to a seventy-five days bill
without grace, while it also equalizes the
sixty days signt bill.
The market for sterling to-day has been
exceedingly firm, with continued scarcity
of commercial signatures. The asking
rates for bankers are 4.86 and 4.88>£, with
business at 4.S5}£ and 4.88 net;*also in
cables at about 4.88%. Southern bank
sold up to 4.85 and 4.85^, and southern
commercial at 4.83%. Francs are 5.14%
and 5.163*.
Cotton was aided to-day by a better Liv-
erpool market, and a further advance was
established. Some large operators (dis-
Eosed to be bearish) look upon prices as up-
eld by main force until receipts begin to
be lighter when, it is argued, the bulls will
make a rush to sell, and there being no de-
mand equal to the offerings, a fall will be
the result. There are not a few, however,
who think favorably of cotton, on its mer-
its, and these men embrace some of the
most conservative on the exchange.
One of our money writers to-day hits
the coal shares cleverly as follows: Coal
i n the ground has been replaced by a hole
in the ground, and it has cost the"compa-
nies about one dollar per ton to make the
change." There is too much naked truth
in this, and but for the short interest in
the coal shares their eyes would be blacker
than the mines themselves.
The stock market opened weak, but the
bears were cautious how they put out fur-
ther options, having already about as
much as they can well take care of. In an
hour the whole list strengthened, and there
was a demand for stocks at the advance.
The bulls, it is said, rather discourage a
too sharp improvement in the market just
at present.
Louisiana consols met with a further fall
to 54; the advices from New Orleans are
not in any way encouraging, and bonds
forced on the market are sold for what
they will bring. About $^(1000 changed
hands to-day. The fall si^B yesterday
forenoon is S}4 per cent, mid within a
fortnight 10 per cent.

How Mrs. Senator I***iice Crossed the
Color Line.
[Washington special to C ncinnatl Enquirer.!
Mrs. Senator Bruce yesterday put the
social problem to the test. It appears that
among the ladies of the Riggs House, one
of the fashionable hotels, two of them call-
ed at Mrs. Bruce's residence and left their
cards. All the ladies of the hotel receive
on Monday together in the public parlor.
Yesterdav, when the reception was at its
zenith, Mrs. senator Bruce, accompanied
by a lady friend as dark as Erebus, were
shown into the parlor. Singling cut tbe
twain who had kindly left their cards with
her, she engaged them in conversation
some few minutes, and then left. The
other ladies thought tbe episode decidedly
shocking—not so much tnat Mrs. Bruce
had called, as the fact that she allowed
her dusky friend to accompany her. She
was too much off color to be squeezed
through tony society,although the senator's
bride is nearly white.

Gax«vestox, Feb. 9.—Texas has proba"
bly done more in the way of donations to
railroads than any state in the union, and
yet her citizens are so damaged by their
discriminations and pooling as to seriously
work a great hardsnip upon them. No
man of small means can longer exist in
business. He must be able to compete
with these moneyed men to whom thesa
railroad magnates give special induce-
ments, or retire from trade This is
all wrong, and I trust that the present le-
gislature will redress this crying evil. The
state gave with an unstinted hand to these
railroads, not with a view to their pulling
down, but their building up our great
state.
To the granger element especially does
this good work dedicate itself if they pro-
pose to look to the interest of the hardy
sons of toil. These railroad magnates by
pooling rates open the door to heavy spec-
ulators by virtue of low rates of freight
after he has purchased the cotton Of the
farmer, thus enabling them to control and
placing it out of the power of the farmer
and men of small means to get for their
produce what it is actually worth.
Justice.
A Seaport or Nothing.
[To the News.l
Galveston, Feb. 10,1879.
I was much impressed with your edito-
rial in Sunday morning's issue of your
valuable paper, " a seaport or nothing,"
and in this connection beg to suggest a
remedy. Build a wharf on iron piling,
two miles from the east point of the
island, to thirty feet of water, and protect
the sea end by concrete, similar to the
protection or entrance to the harbor at
Dover and Calais, in England and France.
This can be done by a joint stock com-
pany, and if the citizens of Galveston
will take $200,000 of the stock, Philadel-
phia and Boston capital will do the rest.
The narrow gauge railroad can tram port
cotton Irom the presses to the end ot the
ships' tackles for fiv6 cents per bale, saving
to the ships and shippers not less than
seventy-five cents on each bale of cotton,
and proportionately on inward cargoes.
This will do away with the great hue and
cry against the wharf monopoly, and the
stock can be made to pay 12 per cent,
per annum. Let us be up and doing. Let
us be a first-class seaport or nothing. The
destiny of GafVeston is in the hands of its
citizens. Let them act and foreign capital
will come promptly to their relief, h. s.

A Child's Funeral in Ittexico.
The death of a child is not looked
upon as an occasion for sorrow among
the lower classes in Mexico. Travelers
have frequently described the funerals
of children in that country. The fol-
lowing is furnished to the Brownsville
Nem by an American who happened to
be in Presidio Del Norte for a few weeks
and was an eye witness of the ceremony:
A child had died in the neighboring
house, and the services of the local
band, consisting of a fiddle, a drum, a
harp, and one or two other instruments,
had been engaged. The corpse was laid
out in the room, and the musicians be-
gan to play Sally Come Up, or a dirge
that sounded very much like it, when
the chief of the musicians made a sig-
nal, and they all stopped playing just in
the middle of the tune. Everybody was
dumbfounded, and asked what had hap-
pened to thus mar the solemnity of the
occasion. The chief musician promptly
explained. He bad been hired to play
for one corpse, and behold there were
t.vo. It seemed that another child in
the neighborhood had died, and the pa-
rents being too poor to hire the band,
and knowing there was going to be mu
sic at the other funeral anyhow, had
brought their dead infant and put it
alongside of the corpse in whose honor
the musical entertainment was gotten
up, and without consulting the chief
musician. He told the grief-stricken
survivors that he wohld see them all in
H—alifax before he would let them ring
in a whole morgue on him in that way;
they might whistle to their corpse if they
wanted to, for not another jig would he
play. The pall bearers reasoned with
him; they pointed out the smallness of
the corpse and how it cost no more ex-
ertion to fiddle for one corpse than it
did for a whole graveyard. Would he
not at least make special rates? But he
refused; lie wanted the price of two
whole corpses. Things began to look
gloomy, when the American paid down
the extra dollar and a half. The be-
reaved parents wept tears of joy. The
fiddler tuned up, and the artist on the
drum banged away with fresh vigor, so
that it was pleasure merely to look on.
my friend in adversity—a ditty on a
dead-beat.
When on life's downward slope I stand,
And friendship scorns my empty hand,
And pleasures like words writ on sand
Where rude waves break,
Are swept away, and but the ills
Of life remain—its unpaid bills,
Its dreary emptiness—who flllg
My purae? The savage dun who stills?
'Tis thou, my Cheek!
Thou art not soft, or fair to view,
Dingy and brassy is thy hue,
Save when thou'rt shaved, and very blue,
O sturdy Cheek!
And yet thy callous hide and tough
For downy skin of simple muff
I would not change; no stern rebuff
Hurts thee, my Cheek I
Yet once even thou with shame couldst
burn,
Redden at snubs, but now we learn,
My Cheek and I, when struck, to turn
The hardier Cheek!
