Experiment* la Steaming Stalk*.
S ime years since, Wing short of fod
der, and having on hand about 'JO head
of cattle, I thought I would try to
coonomize by cutting and cooking feed.
I was able to procures lot of cornstalks
at four ceuta a bundle. These I cut np
with a Daniel's cutter. I procured a
large kettle and six half-hogshead tuba,
at a coat of about #2O. I stamped the
tuba full of cut stalks, mired with bran,
and poured over each tub-full 20 gallons
of Wiling water, spreading an inch of
bran over the top to keep down the
steam. Th* ivvi ate the nnxtnreclean,
and throve upon it, preferring it to hgy.
I should think it went twice aa far as
long stalks.
ia order to economise on laWr the
next winter I procured a steamer, whioh
I placed several roda from the stable,
connecting it with gas-pipes laid under
ground to a Wx in the stable holding
70 bushels. This I filled with stalks
and bran, thoroughly wetting it, and
turned on the steam. I kept oa the
steam five or air hours, and then it was
not as savory a mess as the scalded
stuff. Ia neither case did I discover
that the cows either gave more milk or
kept in Wtter condition than they did
ujjon uncooked food. The onlv gam
waa in their eating the fodder meaner.
The experiment satisfied me that th*
butts of stalks were worth full as much
as the leaves for fodder if one could
only soften them so as to get tho cows
to est them. To steam good hay or
fodder which cows will eat up clean
without Wing starved to it is worse
than labor thrown away. One-half of
the saving on the com stalks can W ob
tained by simply cutting, with one
tenth as mnch expense as it takes to
steam. Then the uneaten portion of
the stalks makes splendid bedding and
lightens np the manure finely. In fact,
for the sake of the manure it pays to
cut stalks, for every farmer knows whs!
a nuisance long stalks are in manure.
It is proper to state that I did not have
water convenient to the barn, but had
to bring it in milk cans on a sleigh
from a spring some 30 rods distant
I saved about 10 bundles of stalks
per day, one-half to W credited to cut
ting and one-half to steaming. Could
I have procured mora stalks the saving
would have amounted to but 20 cents a
day, but as I could not do so it saved
nie a nout #1 worth of hay. Since that
time I have Wen able to procure more
stalks than I needed. From this experi
ment I have arrived at the following
conclusions:
1. It docs not pay to steam unless one
has every convenience of water and
labor-saving apparatus, and then only
for a large amount of stock.
i It does not pav to steam good
sweet hsv or any fodder which oows in
good condition will eat up dean.
3. It doe* not pay at all where labor
is high and fodder is cheap.
4. For the ordinary farmer it will not
pay to go to the expense of fitting up a
steaming apparatus.
5. Where it pays at all it is only in
exceptional eases', and will not do to
depend upon as a general rule. A

Eoee it Par to Oeek Feed for Steal >
We will state that our farm contain*
700 acres, and we generally feed 100
head of cattle on grass in Summer, and
we fatten each Winter about forty head
of cattle in stable. We raise from forty
to fifty acres of wheat, twenty to thirty
of oata, twenty of corn, ana throe or
four acres of Swedish turnips. Our en
gine is five-horse, boiler something
more, with engine attached to its side.
And this threshes our grain, cuts and
steams the fodder, pumps the wster,
saws the wood, and does the churning,
and thus ia very handy to hava on the
farm.
We have three steam boxes, holding
100 bushels each, and one of these filled
with cut straw and chaff, with 200
founds of bran, worth 73 cents per
undred, evenly mixed, moistened wit A
water, packed in solid, and well steam
ed, sail feed sixty head of cattle three
times for one day, all they will eat.
Fattening cattle are fed extra. In this
wav we can feed all our straw and corn
stalk and poor hay, if we have any, with
a little grain or bran, tarn it all into
quick active manure to stimulate new
crops, and can keep mnch more stock,
and at one-third less expense than in
the old war. Oar stock comes out in
better condition is the Spring, and we
hare nodonbt, from our own expenenoe,
that there is a saving to us of fully
one-tnird in the cost of wintering our
animals. In feeding hogs we find that
two bushels of corn ground and cooked
is a little better than four buahels of
shelled corn. We have proved this by
the best test we can give it We hare no
hesitation in saying that our confidence
in the economy of tnis modo of feeding
strengthens with each year'ri experience,
and we believe it is destined to be prac
ticed mnch more extensively in the fu
ture. — Live Slock Journal.
T—A lot Colls,
A correspondent of the Maine Far
mer, who is a successful breeder of
horses for driving, Ac., gives that paper
his method V>f feeding colt*. He feeds
all colts as many oats as they will eat
np clean, feeding three times a day.
He gives weanlings four nounda of oata
per day, with eight pounds of hay ; to
yearlings, five pounds oats ; two-year
olds, six pounds ; three-year olds, eight
pounds, with ten pounds of hay for each
of the last three ages. The colts are
all handled frem their birth. Even in
the Winter the young colts have a half
hour's gallop doily, while the older ones
are regularly dnven. A warm bran
mash is given once a week, and also
three or four pounds of potatoes, oc
casionally sheaf oats instead of hay,
and in cold weather on occasional feed
of corn.
Coal Ashes for Sasdf Soil.
I. A. Fries asks the Rural New- Yorker
if coal ashes are of any value to apply
on yellow, sandy soil." Very little, we
tiiiuk, except in case unfermsnted manure
is applied with them. They are better
for stiff clays, where the object ia to
change the mechanical texture of the
soil. They are useful to throw into
privy vaalta as deodorizers, and then use
the manure, thus deodorized with the
ashes, on any crop desired. They are
excellent, also, as an application to gross
land&—especially where top-dressing* of
manure are given.
Shoats la a Barn Collar.
A Maine farmer manufactures manure
—that is, mixes it—by keeping four
shoats ia his barn cellar where he feeds
them raw sugar beets and a quart of
corn put dowu with the manure every
morning. He says: " The way they'go
for it' (the corn) is perfectly lovely.
The manure is routed, re-rooted and
rooted again, until ft is worked up as
fine a? old manure. The stock is bedded
eve:/ night."
Costly Fork Making
It is said that corn, sp ft is generally
fed to hogs in lowa does not net the
farmer 15 cents per bushel with pork
at 83 per 100 pounds. If the corn was
boiled with pumpkins, beets, small
potatoes etc., the corn might be made
to net double. In the dairy regions,
where corn is generally worth 81 per
bushel, farmers contrite to fat their
family pork with very little corn.
Extractor Hotter ia Cold Weather.
Mrs. Tapper anys : "Our way of ex
tracting honey when the weather ia
cold is to set the hives containing the
combs in a spare room where a good
fire can be kept for twelve, or, in colder
weather, twenty-four hours; have the
temperature nearly summer heat, and
the honey becomes of a consistency
that is easily managed and con be
thrown out as if freshly gathered."
The U. 8. Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections reported that
Alexander Caldwell was not duly and
legally elected to a seat in the Senate of
the United States by the Legislature of
the State of Kansas. The Committee,
however, excused Mr. Caldwell on the
ground that he was a novice in politics
and in the hands of men who encouraged
him in the beliif that Senatorial elec
tions in Kansas were earned by the use
of money.
The Polynesian Slave Trade.
The secretary of the British Anti-
Slaverv Bocietv gives the following pic
ture of the Polynesian slave trade. He
says : "I received au application from
four natives of one of Bank's Islands,
north of.New Hebrides, to be received
into my family. They gave their
names as I'mbook al Stone-Johnny,
Uin, Man!, and I'aris. The first has a
considerable acquaintance with the
Samoa dialect. He ia the youngest of
the party, being, perhapl, about twenty
flve. The others are some* hat elder.
They informed me Uiat their group and
its ' neighborhood contains, besides
others, the following island*, via :
Montiiap, Atnota, Fatuelap or Munlap,
Avah or Avar, Santa Marie, F.spiritu
Santo, Malicolo, Fate and Tana. The
name of their own islam! ia Montiiap,
ami of the village to which they beloug
loidlajv Their tale is aa follows : A
twe-uiaated vessel named the Luseue
I Lucy 1 east her anchor off Montiiap.
Twentv-flve men went off to her to bar
lor, Yhey were welcomed on board
and treated very kindly, and toward
evening they were asked if they would
like to sleep on btiard. This offer they
Sladly accepted, but, to their surprise,
le next morning they found the vessel
under sail. At this time they found
there were on board, beaidea them
selves. thirtv-aeven natives of Mahcolo,
but thev diff not know how they were
obtained. The vessel next went to
Avab, where ahe lay off and on, and
aeut a boat on shore to invite the na
tives on board to trade; none of the
boat's crew could tqieak the language
of Avab, but they made their desire
known by showiug fowls, yams, etc.,
and pointing to the ship. The men
docked on board, ami twenty-live were
made prisoners. The boat tiieu
turned to shore, where live more were
captured and carried off per force, mak
ing a total of thirty men from that
island. Some of these were tied or put
in irons, having manifested a disposi
tion to swim ashore. After leaving
Avab the vessel fell in with a canoe
having two natives of Amota in her.
These were dragged out of the canoe
and taken ou board. The canoe waa
sent adrift At Murilap the boat laud
ed, and the crew persuaded a woman to
come on board to get something to eat.
and they seised a mau and boy and
carried tnera off by force.
At Sa.aU Marie, five more men were
obtained. They were in three canoes.
The boat pursued them ; they were
dragged inte the boat, and their* canoes
turned adrift. The vessel then pro
ceeded to Tana, where the natives atole
a cheat or box belonging to the vessel,
and in retaliation for this the crew seised
and carried off one native. Thus they
had a cargo of 103 natives of the differ
ent islands aliove named. With these
. thev set sail for Tahiti. They were
, well fed on the passage. One man,
however, a native of Arab, disliked the
food, and cried and made much noise.
The mate had him tied hands and feet
and thrown overboard. Another be
came ill and died ; he. too, was of course
thrown overboard. Thev were Ukeu to
n cotton plauUtiou at Taliiti. The ves
sel anchored near the lum.se of the own
er of the plantation. It waa a long way
from Papeete. These men remaiued,
they say, working on the plantation
twenty "months. During that time
twenty of their own people died, twenty
sevenof the Mailolo men, twenty-six of
those from Avab, and all the others.
I except the woman and the native of
Tana. Thus eighty-three died at Ta
! hiti, one ou the passage, and one mur
! dered, leaving in less than two years,
only eighteen survivors out of the 103.
Dysentery was the principal cause of
their death. While at Tahiti they say
they went to the cotton plantation at
6 a. without anv breakfast, worked
till 12 at noon, and tlien rested till about
3, but had nothing whatever to eat.
From about 3 o'clock they worked
again till 6. Thev the* went to their
quarters, and ha<l their first and only
meal. They were fed on Indian com
and bananas, on alternate evenings.
To each man was served out oue cob or
head of corn on the corn days, and the
next evening each man received two or
three bananas, and nothing more till
tbfr next evening -no rice, no biscuit,
no meat or fish. On Sundays they did
no work, but had better food. A din
ner was given them at noon, consisting
of rice and fish, and rice and suit beef
on alternate Sundays. They spent
most of the day in sleep. No attempt
was made to teach them to read ; nor
was any kind of worship conducted.
Their pay consisted of clothes, at the
rate of about two shillings' worth per
rmonth. Those who were idle were pun
ished by being tied, hands and feet,
night and day, for four or five days at
a time, with an allowance of only one
meal in two dava. Sometimes their
hands were tief around a post behind
them, and sometimes they were tied be
fore them, bat in such away that they
coold not lie down, and had to sleep in
a sittingjmstnre, reeling to one side or
other. The five of their own party who
survived these twenty mouths of hard
ship, concluded it would be better to
die at sea thau to continue there any
longer. They, therefore, watched their
opportunity and escaped in a boat which
had been in search of food and was at
anchor. There were only ten cocoa
nuts in the boat—#. two for each
man. They were two months in com
ing from Tahiti to Samoa, which was
the first land they had sighted since
leaving the former place. They were
lying down most of the time, and did
not feel hungry. The one meal a day
system seems to have prepared them fur
this total abstinence ; still, it was too
mnch for one of them, who died off the
southern end of Manas. The other
four were kindly received and cared for
by the christian teachers and people of
the island of Tain, or Manoatele. They
remained ten months on Manna, anil
then eame to Tutuila ; thev were three
months longer with some of the natives
of the east end of the island, and then
made the application above referred to. |
From the above particulars I gather
that it is about three years since they
were deported from their island home.
One of them knew good Bishop Patte
son. and had seen Bishop Selwyn. He
knew the Undine snd the Southern
Cross. I believe the whole of the
sbove account to be strictly true, since
these men seem very careful and pains
taking to be correct in their statements.
They are very docile and well-behaved,
and are learning to read the Hamoan.
Gronby Coppers.
It may not be generally known that
the first copper coinage in the United
Htates was made at' uranbv, Conn., in
1737, by John Higley, a blacksmith.
Money was very scarce, and the only
copper coins in circulation were British
half-pennies and farthings. Higley ob
tained the metal from the old Newgate
copper mine, and bis coins were worth
three times as much ns King George's
half-pennies. The coin represents a
deer, and is stamped with the inscrip
tion—" Value me as you please." The
reverse has three sledge hammers,
crowned, with the inscription—" I am
good copper. 1737." Whether the
crowning of the hammers was John's
way of indicating his belief that labor
would eventually be king in America,
or a chance design, is an open qnestion.
On the other side a broad ax is stamped
in the centre, and the inscription is—
"l cut my way through." There are
not a dozen genuine Granby coins in
existence. The Newgate mines have
been lying idle for a long time, but par
ties have lately been inspecting them,
and it is likely that their wealth may be
developed in the spring. There are ev
idences that the mines contain an abun
dance of this valuable metal.
GEVBBOCS TREATMENT. —The Boston
and Proridence Railroad Company
understands the seeret of securing good
service. The Hon. John H. Clifford,
President of the corporation, has ad
dressed a circular letter to the engineers
and firemen employed by the company,
in which he informs them that "for each
five yeais of continuous and satisfac
tory service with the corporation, an in
crease will be made in the wages of
each engineer and fireman, as now es
tablished." This will amount to some
thing handsome, as some of the men
have literally grown gray in the servioe
of the Company.

Horrible Occurrence.
It ia scarcely ever within the prov
ince of a newspaper to chxuuick a tuocc
sickening accident than that which hap
pened to James AUUigiui, wip was
drawn feet foremost through tw© 1 mi
aive iron rollers only three and a half
inches apart and which are used in flat
tening ban of aietd lor the plates of
saws. Mr. Milligan was employed as
blacksmith's helper in a steel rolling
mill at Middletown, N. Y. He was
climbing upon a board laid across rods
over the rollers, m order to place in po
sition a wrench which ia Um*l to rtqyi
latc the space through which the heated
steel and iron are passed, when the
board suddenly tipped, causing him to
fall. His feet" struck upon the atcep
side in front of the rolleja, which were
revolving at the rate of \ sixtUj timca a
minute, and were instantly caught be
tween them. The poor fellow hod onlv
time to utter the single cry of "Oh !'
while his body, feet foremost, was being
drawn through a space of oaly three
and a half iuenca. Hardly a second 1:4
elapsed before the body waa a shapeless
mass of tleeh, blood, lienes and clothes,
presenting, as it did, the most horrible
and sickening sight that eyes could
look upon. It dropped from the rollers
a limp and quivering mass, and when
straightened out covered a space of
ground that two men Would occupy.
Not a whole or perfect buaie remained
in the body, and many bones were pro
truding through the ilesh and clothing
at different places. The head was a
fearful sight to look upon. It hail gone
through the rollers face upwards, and
it came out completely flattened and
partially turned. Flowing from the
smashcil skull were the bnuiig and blood
in a stream sickening to behold. Strung
minded, able-bodied men, were horri
fied and hardly able to stand and look
at the scene, which really beggars de
scription. Hi# comrades who witnessed
the terrible affair were struck dumb
with awe, and rendered almost emo
tionless and aa silent as the corpse be

The deceased served three yeses in the
late war, was about 3d year* old, and
leaves a wife and two little children in
moderate circumstances.
(isod Kales for Knieryenrle*.
Professor Wilder, of Cornell Univer
sity, gives these short rules of action
in case of accident. It would not be n
bad thing to cut this out and carry it in
one's pocketbook, or, better yet, com
mit them to memory:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing,
dash water into tbem ; remove cinders,
ate., with the round point of a pencil.
llemovs insects from the ear by tepid
water ; never put a hard instrument in
to Tour ear.
If any artery is cut, compress below.
If choked, get upon all fours and
cough.
Hmother a Are with carpets, etc., wa
ter will often spread burning oil and in
crease danger. Before passing through
smoke, take a full breath and then
stoop low, but if rarbonic is suspected
walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, or, cut out
the part without delay ; hold the Wotiud
ed part aa long as can be borne to a hot
coal or the end of a cigar.
In case of poisoning, excite vomitiug
by tickling tue throat, or by wsrro mus
tard.
For acid poisons give sikslies ; for
alkaline poisons, give acids; white of
an egg is good in most cases.
For apoplexy, raise the head and
body; for fainting, lie flat.
If in the water, float on the back, ryith
the nose and month projecting.
For slight burns, dip the part in told
water; if the skin is destroyed cover
with varnish.
Convents in Switzerland.
The Jmtrnnl o/ A'to/fsfic* gives
the result of a series erf official investi
gations which have been made by M.
Cerosole, Federal Councillor, on the
monaeteries and convents in Switzer
land. It appears that the totwl number
of these institutions in seventeen can
tons is 88, 55 of whieh arc convents, and
that they oontain 546 monks and 2,020
nana. Of the monks, 427 arc pstres, 28
patrea professi, and 91 lay brothers.
The total property of the monasteries
and convents is valued at 22,G45,915f
The canton which has most of them is
that of Bt. Gallen (3 monasteries and 10
convents*; next are the cantons of Wal
lis and Freiburg, (It) irionasterles and
convents each); Hehwyz, Tesain, and
Holothura, (7 each) ; Zng. a esnton of
only 13,000 inhabitants, 6 ; Lucerne, 5;
Appenzell and Graubunden, 4 ; Aargaa,
Nnlwalden, and Obwalden with Uri, 4 ;
Glarus, Geneva, and Ilorne, 1 each.
The wealthiest of the monasteries arc
those of Einsledlen, which possesses s
revenue of 2,28G,300f., and the Benedic
tine monastery of Marisstein, in the
canton Solothurn, whose revenue is
1,584,455f. The Capuein monasteries
have no permanent revenues.
A Stout era Bri-l. —A Maine paper
tells a little story about the liell of the
" Old South Cnureh," in Roatsn. It
appears that many years ago certain
parties in England gave to the First
Congregational Church of Biddeford,
Maine, a bell. For some reason or
other the freight on tlie bell was not
paid, and it was lying upon a wharf in
Boston for a long time. The fact it was
told to pay charges, and now hangs in
the tower of the " Old Bonth," in Bos
ton. At length that Biddeford woe its
destination is east in the belL It ia now
suggested that, the old church being
turned into a postoffice, some measures
be taken to secure the bell for Bidde
ford, as was originally intended.
An over-sanguine gentleman having
hazarded the remark a few days since
that "the back of the winter may now
be considered broken," was met with the
rejoinder that "if it wasn't it ought to
be, considering the tremendous load of
snow it has had to carry."

Wore Aid For Colleges.
The U. S. House bill to aid the Agri- '
cultural Colleges was substituted for the 1
Senate bill, and was passed by a large 1
i majority. The bill has been Indnstii- j
ouslv urged for some time by a conoid- j
oral do force of professors from the col- '
, leges to bn beuefited by it.
The substitute of the House sets
apart oao-luilf of the proceeds of the
sales of public lands lor the beuefit of j
| the colleges, until a fund is created,
j the interest of which shall amount to
$50,000 a year for each State. The
money is to be invested in fiveper cent. \
United States bonds, which are to be '
held by the Government and the inter
cut only paid over to the States for the
ApUJrcs. One student is to be educat
' efl mie for every SSOO dollars of income ,
rereived by a college, and whenever the
Hifome amounts to all tuition is ,
to l(e free. Tlie effect of the bIU, will
i be ui the end to take $M,000,000 from the
) Treaaury, for it will require a fund of
• #1,000,000, for each State to yield #60,-
I 000 annual interest.
Much of Win money will go to old-es- (
1 tablislied and well-endowed colleges, for
it is provided that the institutions
which recsived tbe first land grant as
agricultural colleges are to have this
lsAjUtionnl grant, and many of the States
1 gave the first grant to existing schools
of repute, instead of founding new
. ones. In New Hnrapsbiro the subsidy
! will go to Dartmouth College; in
Rhode Island to Itrown University ; iu
4 Connecticut to the Sheffield Scientific !
School of Yale College ; in Vermont to .
Middlebnry , Collegr ; in New York to
Cornell University, and in New Jersey
Ito Rutgers College. It is doubtful i'f
j the foTtanate colleges which are to be
: the recipients of this liberal Govern- |
j ment endowment will derive the full (
' benefit of it, because it is not certain j
that all the remaining public lands will
sell for the amount of money content- j
plated by the bill. Tfee land sales have
recently amounted to about #3,000,000
s year. The bill will therefore take
: sbout #1,000,000 from the Trenaury 1
every year.

No scene like that in Uis llouae, in

lnvu witnessed since the day# of the

proceeding* of the imiieachutcut of An
drew Johnson. 11l fact tb interest
was for greater, if judged by the strug
gle to see and hear, than the gravity of
Uic subject itsvlf would sustain, for
thero was really nothing in any of the
long speeches of the half day's debate
which left the great crowd tounctoualy
clinging to their places until the o
o'clock odjonruiqeut, ve the great ex
pectations that something would hsp
!>eii. Jlut the sceue posseascd all the
allraodveiieaa and inspiration necessary
to ws(nt up the moat totqiid oratorieal
power. The gslleriea were crowded al
most tp suffocation ; the floor wa open
ed, by courtesy, to the lad tee, and iliey
I semi "otvrfloved the areas into the seats
of mvaibera, tilling the stales and occu
pying f-very available place, even to the
backs t>f the sofas, on which some dar
-1 tug nnff curious la.lies stood in the rear
' of tlnl hall, looking over the heads of
those in front down iuto the area in
! tjnnt if the Hpeaker't desk, where sat
' t>aVes Ames, now grown pole and uer
vous, #lO objective point of every gnw
aearchjug fir the chief oclor iu the po
litical drama. There were upon the
(Iter fiiany persons of uole Hwcretary
lU-lkiiup, Judge Tierrcpout, Hon. Johu
McKeqn. Hon. Thomas Murphy, a score
or two of member* elect to the Forty
third C'ongre**, and many other*. In
the diplomatic gallery were eevcrol
' meiubsra of tlie foreign legulioua, Mr.
' ltusseU lluriiey, Mr*, llanulton l iah,
Mrs. Rranuroft Davis, Mrs. Delano,
| " Gail llamiltou," and others.
The reading of tlie journal was barely
1 concluded, when Gen. Rutler, with an
i eve fnii of mischief and a nervous pur
-1 i>oee which betokened a prominent part
1 fn the scene to follow, sprang to his
1 feet sad, u> the aidonishmout of the
Speaker, moved to go into Committee
j nf the Whole uu the amcudiurnte to the
! LegudsUve Appropriation bill. Geu.
GarfieUl, Cluurmou of that committee,
! and who has the bill under his control,
1 I.Hiked for ouce like s thunder elond,
and the Speaker ssreastieslly remarked
' Ui at hu etmid not reeognits tlto gvaitle
usn fur that purpoao unless the coulroi
i of tlie bill was placed in hia hsuds. Mr.
• Butler said he did not want to make
tlie motion if Mr. Garfield would. But
the latter, with severe dignity, declined
Ui accept the dictation of the gentleman
from Massachusetts.
Judge Poland then took the floor,
when Butler interjected a snlwtitute for
the resolutions of the committee, which
declare# that, aa the House has no jur
isdiction of these esses of offenses thus
committed, the evidence thereof he cer
tified to the criminal Court of the Dis
' tnct of Columbia for prosecution and
trial. This, as many members said,
was equivalent to changing the form of
punishment from censure and expulsion
to an indictment by the House, which
would thns become Butler's Grand
Jurjr. The substitute was declared out
lof order, but it will gettu again. Judge
I'olaud opened the dsbate, speaking
nearly two hours in defense ana expla
nation of the report of hia committee.
He justified the report in not recom
mending any action against other mem
! bcr* td Congress than Messrs. Ames
! and Brooks on the ground that, admit
ting others had acted with impropriety,
; their acta were not of the kind specified
iu the reauluUou uuder which the com
mittee acted, and were, therefore, whol
ly outside the narrow jurisdiction of
thai committee. He theu went into an
idsboratr argument founded upon that
of the report, to show the unmistakable
; character 0/ the acts of Aim* and
Brooks, the unmistakable right of the
i House to take jurisdiction over these
! acts, and the imperative duty of the
House to assume niut jurisdiction in the
manner recommended by the commit
tee. Judge Poland's speech was esjie
cially directed against the counter-ar
gument which Uuller interpolated into
his yesterday's report from the JuJi
-1 eiaiir Committee, lie had as fnl! a stock
of precedents a* Butler had, and he
denounced the doctrine of the letter's
report that a Congress Las no right to
say that a man known to be infamou*
:iud*proved to be corrupt cannot, on that
ground, be expelled from Inaaeat by his
colleagues, a doc tin 11c wv.riliy of the iu
ven tor of Credit Mobdivr itself, and
eijually atrweiou*.
Judge Poland's speech went into de
tails and arguments which did not in
terest the great mdience, which assem
bled in ei|HcUtion of s thoroughbred
sensation. But it was eoncuded that
lbs rejHirt had received • justdtcaUon
upon which it could safely be left to
stand.
Oake* A tur* was then given the floor,
nml sent his statement to the dork's
deak. to be read. It wa* very long, and
1 Mr. McPberson read with pathos, which
sec mod to astonish even Ames himself,
' who listened with every evidence of
being overwhelmed at his own elo
quence, or rstber the eloquence of his
attorney and the elerk combined. The
plea was full of a lawyer's ingeuuity,
and had the merit of confusing the real
question at issue with a thousand ir
relevant matter* in relation to the diffi
. cultics attending the building of the
road, the heroism of tlie man who un
dertook it, and the honor which should
1 l> assigned them, instead of the oblo
quy which it was now proposed to heap
tij>on him. It ingeniously shielded him
I behind tlie others. It dwelt at length
I upon the plea that no maa could bribe
without somebody's being bribed. It
appealed to law, to precedent, to
jnstiee, to sympathy, to sentiment, and
painted tlie author as the victim of a
public opinion which was to bo ajv
jieased by throwing liiin alone to bo
1 torn bv tlie beast#.
Mr. "Farnsworth then took the floor
na the champion of Ames and Brooks
Drawing a parallel between the facts iu
these two cases, ho said that their of
feuaea were exactly contrary. One was
to be expelled for selling and the other 1
for buying, and iu neither case was
there any second party to the traasac- :
tion. To have dono either with wrong
intent wa* a* impossible aa matrimony
with only one party to it. lie denied
that the're was any bribery anywhere
shown, and in exculpating Ames and
Brooka from wrong-doing fully excul
eted all the other members of the
into. Fiually, be denied utterly tho j
jurisdiction of"the House over any of
its members for any of the alleged of
fenses.
Mr. Merrick followed Oen. Farns
worth in defense of the report. He
then stated that if there was any per
jury shown by tlie evidence, tlie com
mittee, under thg resolution, could not
take cognitsnce of it, as that resolution
was limited to the matter of bribery.
He argued that none of the members
other than Ames and Brooks knew
aught of the character of the dividends
they were anbsequently to receive when
they bargained lor the stook, and that
therefore they oould not be adjndgdl
by the H >uoc to have had any *u*| i non
of the improper character ef the utock.
It was nearly Ave o'clock when Judge
MeTriek concluded. There had been
searrely any diminution of spectators
through the debate. Scores of ladies
had stood on their feet in a restless jain
from firat t last. It was very evident 1
by this time that the debate could act I
le finished to-day, no matter how late
tlie House est, and Judge Poland, there
fore, moved a recess and an evening ses
sion for debate only. The tired audi- i
enee was glad of it. Everybody was
disappointed in the interest and excite
ment of the scene, but nobody liked to
leave before adjournment for fear of
losing some episode of a more vivid
kind.
The evening session was devoted to
debate only. It had been expected that
Gen. Butler would speak, but he did
not appear, and will claim the floor to
morrow after Ahe reading of the jour
nal. The debate was opened by Mr.
Wakeman, of New York, who made a
brief speech against the resolutions,
claiming that 'it was better for the
House to err on tlie side of clemency.
Mr. MeCrary, of the Poland Committee,
supported the report iu an hoar's
speech, in which he carefully analysed
and vigorously presented the evidence.
Mr, Corning, 01 Missouri, opposed the
resolution. Gen. J. R. Hawley mode a
vigoroua, spirited, pointed opeeoh,
which waa the feature of the evening,
lie confined his argnment to ths * of
(lakes .Vines, and IhiUH.v stated that ha
should vote t< cxpal him. llis argu
incut was mainly founded upon a care
ful collation of extracts from ths Mc-
Comb letti rs and from tho testimony

corporations, to the popular bsliof that

that Cougreo* should now show thst it
