PRAYER ANSWERED.
A I'lilversallat Prcnckcr'a Tongue Palnled.
The Cincinnati Qaztitt has just published
these precious documents:
Indianapolis, Jan. 10, 1870. Deur Ham
mond: I send you my father's letter, which I
received just before leaving home. The facts
as 1 stated them to you are all correct. The
event transpired more than fifty years ago; it
was known to many at the time, and there could
be no mlstaxe about it. it was at Athens, ra.,
during a revival ol religion.
J. farKs, the universalis! minister, preached
there sometimes, but never before had made an
appointment at the samo time with my lather.
The fact that he did so caused Christians to feel
that his object was to divert tho attention and
thus hinder the work. They gave themselves to
earnest prayer that his efforts might be brought
to uautut, and nis moutu oe stopped. My
father, kuowing the feelings of his church and
deeply sympathizing with them, la his prayer
bciore the sermon prayed most lervently with
reference to this very case, that God would stop
the mouths of false teachers. Tbe Universalis
minister opened his services and was permitted
to proceed so tar as to announce his text, aud
men was strucK oown ms tongue was paiuiua
He was taken home, and never preached another
sermon.
These are facts. Let those who hear and read
nhem account lor tnem as tuev please; lor my
part, i believe tnem to lumittn a remarkable in
stance of answer to prayer.
Yours, most truly, Wu, C. Wisner.
Pastor of Presbyterian Church of Lockport,
The following Is from the father of Mr. Wis
ner, now about ninety years of age, aud who is
well known te many in Cincinnati:
Ituaca, Jan.- 3, 1870. My Dear Sou: I have
lust received your letter, l canuot now give
you tbe date of the event, but it occurred at
Athens when I was pastor of that church. There
was a little revival there at tbe time. A Mr,
Parks was the I'ulversallFt minister. He made
an appointment to preach in the village at the
Fame day and hour of my regular service, which
he bad not done before. - VY all, who were
Christian, felt that his object was to keep stu tters
from hearing the truth. In my first prayer
1 besought the tiord to stop tne mouths - ot Ulec
teacher aud not suffer them to prcveut the sal
yation of sinners. Mr. Parks commenced ser
vice at the sum a hour, and after singing aud
praying, named his-text, when his tongue was
paralysed, and he was carried home and never
preached again. ' '
I did not publish tills la my incidents, nor say
much about it, because it was known to all, aud
I did not wish to hurt the feelings of the afflicted
family; and I did not think uuy good would
come from my talking about it; but the Lord
bas seen lit to bring the facts before the public
without my interference. ) give the facts as
tbev are. , 1 ours, with love.

Mr. Morrill (V t.), in presenting a petition for
the abolition of the franking privilege, said that
an idea had been generally disseminated, by
means of circulars sent out by the rostmaster
General, that Senators and Representatives were
guilty of gross frauds iu their abuse of the
franking privilege. So far as he was personally
concerned, be did not believe any fraud had
been practised in the manner complained ot.

privilege as a measure of economy, believing
that man contracts wouio not wi reduced in

averse to the proposed change as an experi
ment. Mr. Bayard said he had been lufonned by a
postmaster, whose name appeared among the
signers ta petitions for the abolition of the
franking pnvelege, that he had taken action in
the matter unaer instructions, irom
which tbe Inference was that he had
been Instructed by his official chief.
He recognized among the signers several of his
constituents, who within two weeks had re
ceived, under frank, publie documents which in
bulk counterbalanced the whole ef the mail
matter to which his own correspondence would
amount during the entire session.
Mr. Thurman presented petition on the same
sub ect. and said that the rostmaster-uenerai.iu
printing and sending to his 18,000 subordinates
throughout the country, holding their positions
not by the compensation of the Senate but at
his own pleasure, instructions to procure signa
tures ot petitions to inuuence congressional ac
tion, was guilty of an action which had no pre
cedent In tbia or any other country.
He thought this a departure from official pro
priety, and remarked that there had been a time
when the Congress of the United States would
not have quietly tolerated such conduct by the
head of a department, or an attempt by auy
authority ot the Government to forestall public
opinion and prevent a proper investigation.
The various petitions on the subject were re
fcrred to tbe Committee on the Post Office.
Mr. Fenton preseated the memorial of H. C.

Dick Schell, a well-known broker and Demo
cratic politician of Mew York, was before the
Banking and Currency Committee to-day. . ,
Dswm Prne t st a Aleve lot th
iirceen. ,
Mr. Dawes proposes to reply to tbe attacks
made on him on account of his late speech next
Tuesday. He has a large number of letters from
editors, business men and politicians, endorsing
bis speech. He will probably read some of these
in the House.
The Ineem Tax.
Special VtrpaUh to Tht Evtnirui TiltgrapK
Washington, Jan. 21. Considerable opposi
tion Is developed In the Senate to the resolu
tions defining the intent and meaning of tbe
law relative to the Income -tax, and extending it
through the present year. It will probably bo
adopted, as the administration desire no reduc
lon in the present tax.
The Franking Privilege.
Between thirty and forty petitions, represent-
log several thousand names, asking the abolition
of the franking privilege, from various parts of
the country, were offered in the Senate to-day.
Several Senators in presenting the petition took
occasion to criticize severely tbe Postmaster-
General for stating that the franking privilege
cost five million dollars yearly.
Renat.
VtilfcHixiyrom tht Third JCHlUn.
Mr. Sherman explained that In the army the five
per cent tax on salaries for the present year had not
ieen deducted. In accordance with an opinion by the
juuge Advocaie-uenerai, woue tne reduction :nai
been made In the civil service. The effect of the bill
would not be to extend the time of the Imposition of
tne tax, tw was merely declaratory.
Mr. ihurm an said that the matter seemed a pro
per sunieci ior legislation and not merely declara
tory action. In view of the probability of a legal con
struction hereafter: that the law imposing the tax
bad already expired ny limitation. He expressed
grave dounts oi inecuectoi a declaratory act as
means of resuscitation, lie desired if any remedy
was applied u snouia not nean lneincient one.
Mr. Bayard expressed his willingness to wmma
the position or construing a law without regard to
tlieelleet hereafter to be given ta It, believing the
Judiciary department alone could afford th desired
rtmtay.
Mr. wuson suggested inst tne commitee report a
bill to relieve army officers entirely Irom the tax.
. The bill Uien went over for the present.
The Virginia bill was then taken up, Mr. Morton
having the door.

Continu4 from tin Third MdiHon.
. The House proceeded, aa the Imslnetia of the morn
ing hour, to the consideration of private bills. After
several bills bad been reported and acted on.
Mr. Butler (Mass.) moved to reconsider th vote
by which one of them was passed. He said he pro
posed to call the attention of the House briefly to the
matter of the finances, which inlirlit be affected by
these bills. lie did so with some reluctance, be
cause he vi as obliged to review the state Jients of bis
colleague. Mr. Dawes, which were calcalated to
make, and had in fact made, a false impression on
the country, however lime tnat may nave been in
tended. The whole argument of the chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations had come from a false
understanding of the facts. - - . .
A point of order was made by Mr. Benjamin (Mo.),
and afterwards by Mr. Randall, that the remarks of
tne gentleman irom juassacnuscus were not in
order, as being irrelevant to the question before the
House.
Mr. Dawes made aa appeal to the members to
withdraw their objections to his colleague's pro
ceeding.
Mr. Kandall withdrew Ids point or order, aud It
was renewed and insisted on by Mr. Benjamin, aud
the Speaker sustained the point of order.
Mr. Bntler reuiarked that it was hard to shake him
off (laughter), and he proposed to show that the ad
ministration was not so extravagant as had been
represented.
Mr. Benjamin insisted on the ruling being en
forced, and dually Mr. Butler smilingly yielded to
tne apparent uuientunniy oi bis position, ana gave
nonce mat ne wouio, aiier tne morning uour, move
to go Into Committee of tho Whole.
After considering several private Mils the morning
hour expired, and the House went iuto Committee of
the Whole. Mr. Judd in the chair, the Intention
being to give Mr. Butler chance to make his speech
iu reply to Mr. Dawes, but Mr. Wilson, of Ohio, who
was first entitled to the floor In committee, tniistod
on his rieht and declined to yield tne noor to Mr.
Bntler or any other man a change of programme
which esnsttd a great deal of laughter.
Mr. Wilson then proceeded to address the com
mittee In the Interest of agriculture.
