APRIL 18, 1883. In a Snarl. The Senate has get into a very curious snarl, indeed, ever the recorder diu, President Black decided a point of order against the unanimous view of the friends of the meafure, who appealed fmm iii decision, and en the appeal the ""'" . ..' ..... Tim vote en eacli sine was me bum. president, having called Senater Hall te the chair te put the appeal te the Senate, did net vote te decide the tie. The question, as put by Senater Hall, was, whether the decision of the chair should vtn,i as the iudgment of the Senate ; ..r.,i ! the vote was a tie, ne ae- cide.l that the motion was net carried, and consequently the decision of Presi dent Black was net sustained. That unemt.1 -i nrnner decision upon the me tien u j put ; but apparently the motion should have been as te whether the de cision of the chair should be overruled ; in which nase a tie vote would leave it standing. It would seem tnat me u u cisien of the chair when made should stand until the Senate overrules it. It certainly does stand while the vote en .ai.. miner it is beimr taken ; and unless i...c- ...-.In nneratnQ nfrflint it. it must LUillt vuw; ... n -- continue te stand. Jiucauc veiu But a tic vote nees net effect a change ; it simply '"I" things tisf edit ue. Yet they say the precedents of the Senate are against this seemingly natur al construction of the situation, and that the form in which Senater Hall put the appeal was the proper one. The Demo crats and Independents, friends of the lull te abolish the recorder's office, who have the advantage of the position, are naturally inclined te enjoy it. The Re Re pulHicana.liewever, are restless under it, :uid Senater Cooper is at his wit's end te devise some way of correcting what he considers the erroneous ruliugef Sen ::i or Wall. He cannot muster the votes te upset it, and apparently has no better hope than what may lie in the magnan imity of his opponents. But there does net seem te be any great provocation te the exercise of that virtue. Senater Cooper's side is believed by the ether side te have had undue advantage in what it considers te haw been the er roneous ruling of President Black ou the original point of order. And if the Re publicans subsequently lest this advan tage by what they deem the wrong ruling of Senater IlalJ, the honors may be held te be easy. President Black ban done his part te the stfnie end by first upsetting his party friends", by declaring the point of order against them, and by then refraining from helping his opponents te sustain his decision witli his casting vote. He abstains from exhibiting any pride of oeiniou in the discharge of his duty, and when he decides as he thinks right, J . he lets the senators severely alone te atlirm or disaffirm his judgment at their sweet will and pleasure ; which they don't seem able te Kettle; they have been spending a geed deal of time in tiying te get ahead with their bill with small results. Senater Cooper, we see, has become pathetic in his appeal te the ether side te give the recorder his office for a little while yet ; he tells hew he has spent his money in getting ready te enjoy the harvest season of the year, which does net begin with him until August, and the senator asks that In be given yet this one harvest that he may get back the money it has cost him te prepare ter the crop. But J when a fellow-senator cruelly reminded him that he had been already ejected from his office by the governor, whose action had been sustained by the courts, and had, therefore, ample warning te save his money, Senater Cooper savagely inquired whether a man had net' a right te take all the advantage the law gave him, aud appeal his case te the supreme court if thereby he could held en te his fat office a little longer. Sure enough. Senater Cooper; but then has net the Legislature a right te abolish his office ? and what sort of a figure does Senater Cooper make in asking it te forbear, for pity's sake ? m . Net a Bit of Use. There is net a bit of use in anybody trying te persuade the people that it is right for the state te permit any set of capitalists te cork up the oil in the state i n that it cau only get te market through their own avenues. The case Is very simple, when fully comprehended. Here it is. The Standard oil company is believed te control another company which has for a year past been bii3ily at work securing from the land owners alone the southern border of the state, the exclusive privilege of laying an oil pipe across their lands. If they sue ceed in thus barring the read te the sea board for pipe lines te any ether persons desiring se te convey oil there, they need never operate their own line, if they de net cheese, but may continue oil trans portation by rail, charging the extra C03t te the consumer. The interest of the people is te have cheap oil, and it muse be clear te every understanding that it will never de for the slate te al low one set of men te monopolize the oil traffic, as would be certainly done if but one set of men could get a pipe line through te the sea. The only way the .state has te prevent this is te grant its right of eminent' domain te pipe line companies. This will enable them te lay their pipes, notwithstanding another company has bargained with the farm ers te sell them for a ten dollar bill the exclusive jriffct te Put a P'I,e en their lands. Tb&bice little plan te monopo menopo monepo lize the eiltraffic is kuockeden the head, and for the general geed. Who deubtF it V "Who can stand up before the people and defend a monopoly in oil carriage ? Is any man or corporation strong enough? Surely they would be speedily stoned te death. Wise men and corporations will refrain from the dangerous experiment. Judge Patterson is net presiding in quarter sessions this week, but that is no reason why he should net step down te the court house about Friday after neon and, if he finds that Richard Heil ig is net there for trial, institute a rigid investigation te determine who practiced imposition iroen the court by wbic h Heilig get away from .its junsaicue a. We have faith that Judge Patterson w ill yet vindicate the integrity of his com .t. Titk breakage of a pipe line in 1 ,be West has eiven the opponents of the 'jree pipeline bill a chance te preach a : oed many uiainuea agaiuab , vuuu6 .v.. of them are be fierce and effective a b were the old cries against railroads jid the danger of them burning down brna and 1 staples. Ner de we discover Trem uw i opponents of this class of improvements anv demand that railways be -abolished, though accidents of a serious cuaracier are reported daily. It will no doubt be the pleasure, as it will be the privilege, of the speakers at the court house this evening te answer the objections as well as te advocate the claims of the pipe lines te the rights asked for them, te the end that the apprehensions of all geed citizens may be allayed, wnecner nue a certain peaceful agriculturist they forecast a trail of fire ever all our farms, or, like another eminent and re spected fellow-citizen, they fear that the waters of the Conestoga are te ue turneu into cod liver oil. The New Era and Examiner, with beautiful accord, indulge in such appre- hensiens as this : The tanks at Mill way are censtrucieu 10 . thflusands 0f barrels of oil, and ,,, im the pipes, which are always necessarily kept full, will contain many thousand mere. If sueh a Durst should occur any where near the Cocalico creek, the oil. in all probability, would run into the stream and thence into the Conestoga ; and vnkss it was set en fire, would pelute these streams te their mouths, if it were fired the destruction of property would certain ly be very great especially if it occurred during the wheat harvest, " Boe-hoo," cried the maid in front of the blazing bake even, " some day I might be married, bee bee and I might have a baby boe-hoo and it might fall into the even boe-hoo and uu uuiucu tu ucmu uuu-uuvuuu.

Tiiekk is net exactly a coincidence, but somewhat of a peculiarity, in the fact that sanguinary individuals of ether oeuntries hue given us the term "dynamiters,' while the peaceful guardians of abused animals, with Sir. Bergh at their head, inform us that a number of "cruellists" have bzea arrested. Ne iinpbsitieu should be indict ed in the way of uegloeting the denomination of the coins which King Kalakaua, of the Sandwich Islands, is having made in this country. Being net altogether initiated in the use of his c-vn money, the king, laboring under the difficulty whieh was found te hamper the circulation of the first issue of the new nickels from the Philadelphia mint, might deplete his exchequer with myste rious and uncomfortable rapidity in using bis own judgment as te whether one coin is a dollar or a fiya cent piece. Net the most of the people who listen te the pretty airs of Offenhaeh's opera, "La Perichele," knew that the composer presents a group of episodes in his score that belong te the life of a real personage The heroine in real life was a beautiful demi mende of the capital of Lima, the fair and alluring Perichela, who in 1790 danced en tha beards of the ancient theatre, lately destroyed by fire, and the eldest in the new world. She led captive the heart of the Spanish Vicerey Amat and received the uightly plaudits of the pleasure-loving Peruvians by her skill and fascination. It i.s nattering te national pride te hear of the eminent American actor, Beeth's suceess in Germany. The audiences of Berlin, as well as in ether cities of the empire, were composed of the leading pee pie of the land, showered the most appie ciativc plaudits upon the tragedian and vied with each ether in doing him honor. Germany has produced no actor of great and lasting repute', but her eminence as the mother of composers of opera aud tragedy places her in the front rank in that distinction, and the unstinted endorse ment by that critical nation of Beeth's ability as an actor is an adequate criterion of his excellence. Tiik vivacious Parisians, among whom everything relating te France saem te occur, are nothing without pleasure. The facts that the third republic stands ou a most uncertain foundation, aud several potent powers are reported te be allied against them, and their troops have met a repulse from the natives of Pontanegre, alone the Conge, with whom tliey have become invelved in a small warfare, aie just new apparently of far less importance than the appearance of a new opera, several of which have but recently been put upon the beards and have drawn almost all public attention from ether matters te them. The czar of Russia is seeking te melify the discontent of bis subjects in general and lessen the hatred of the Nihilists in particular, by appointing a special com mission who have under consideration the question of remitting certain taxation en the occasion of his coronation. The threatened autocrat, according te te-day's dispatches, evidently imagines himself net altogether unsuccessful in this latest sehemc, and it is probable that the corona tion will be postponed until June 10. Dangers menace the life of the czar, and if the insnrreotfeeisU of his empire really possesses the potentiality they claim nothing short of abdication or death will appease their fanatical demands. Somebedv seems te have made a bad error in their arithmetic in early times,ai.d en account of it the world is five years behind time. Professer Battler, of Munich, presents an array of data ana his torical facts te establish his assertions that the Christian era began five years earlier than is usually snpgpsed and con sequently the current year is 1888 instead the popular peace of mind. If we had caught en te these five years there might be something definite known of the end of the Star Reuto trials aud the appearance of the last census reports and of various ether such trifling matters.

It is a coincidence that two or three ether American schooners had beeu at anchor up thn arm for seme time previ ous, and en Sunday afternoon one of them came around te tha city. Heavy guns were heard firing in the direction of the point at neon Sunday, and were sup posed te be from seme of the forts then, as if for ball practice, hut this was net acknowledged by the guards.

A Tntlvlns Country and Its Enterprising Northern Besldents Secretary Chand ler's Krjeyment Slarrcrt by an Accident. Ki33lrnuiee City Correspondence el the Pre-s. The last two days have beeu pregnant with interest te the president and his party. Leaving Sanferd en Monday morn ing, they have traveled into the very heart of Southern Flerida, the land of the alli gator and au extremely het midday sun. The incidents of the jeurney are as novel as the land itself, and if they are given in something like chronological order it will aid the reader in following the president's course intelligently. Sanferd is at the head of navigation for large beats, en the St. Jehn's river, and the northern end of the Seuth Flerida narrow-gauge railroad, which runs forty miles directly te Kissimmee City. Presi dent Ingraham and Superintendent S woepe of the read fitted up a private car for the president's party, and the engine was gayly decorated with flags. James M. Kreamcr, engineer of the Okccchobce land company, whose guest the president had been since his arrival at Kissiinmee City, met the president at the depot. On the train were Lewis Lawrence, Rev. Lyman Phelps, and ether gentlemen living in Sanferd. The president led Mrs. Mercer aud the younger ladies were escorted by Mr. Miller and Coleuel Phillips. The president, who always dresses elegantly, appeared in a becoming straw hat and a new summer suit. A Grewing Country. The first step was made at Maitland, where Lewis Laurenco has two young orange groves. Carriages were in waiting and the party drove a jnile or two through the het sun aud looked at the groves, which are beautifully located en Lake Maitland. Lieutenant Dayer, of the United States navy, and his wife, who lived near by, joined the party and took charge of Secre tary Chandler. Returning te the railroad, another rea.d was taken, aud the railroad reached at Winter Park, whieh premises te be a very pretty town. It is the head quarters of a land oempany, who have a large traet In the vicinity. Many small bodies have been sold, and pretty little cottages en the banks of the lakes, sueh as are seen at Northern seaside resorts, mark the presence of these onterprising people from the north side of Masen and Dixen's line who are doing se much for the state of Flerida. The oeuntry here is entirely different from any the president has yet seen in this state. It is beautiful rolling land, ninety feet above the river level at San San eord, covered with a heavy growth of live oak and ether hard weeds, the soil being a black vegetable meld. The rolling coun try begins at Maitland and extends South ward for a distance of twelve or fifteen miles. A thousand little lakes dot the surface, and lakcsitcs are already at a premium. Laud sells at from $30 te 100 per acre, and there a great demand for it. The lakes are 'pure clear water, from 50 te 500 acres in si?e and thirty te sixty feet deep, full of bass, perch and ether feed fish. ' Au Accident tu Secretary Chaurtlcr. On arriving at Winter Park station two slight accidents occurred, which marred somewhat the pleasure of the day. Sec retary Chandler and Mrs. Dyer were thrown out of the read wagon in which they were riding, by the sudden startiug of the horses. Fortunately neither was much hurt, but the secretary sustained a rather severe shock, which lamed him for several days and interfered with his ou- joyment of the speit ou the Kissinunce. My a singular coincidence a similar acci dent, with a like result, happened at the sarae time te Dr. Kingslcy and his daughter, residents of the neighborhood, who, with many ethci., came te the sta tion at Maitland and drove around with the president. M. Cnppinger, the piesi deut's cook, who 'seems te ba continually getting into little troubles, which occa sion the paity much amusement, was left at Maitland and was compelled te walk te Winter Park, two miles, in a het sun. The fat Frenchman labored heavily ou the last laps of his involuntary walk, and came into the station blowing like a por poise, the train having been delayed for him. The next s.ep sheul.l hu.e been Orlan de, the county seat of Orange county, a territery large enough for a state, but Ibreugu some Imcli, wbicn gave rise, it is said, te a nine exmuiueu ei temper en the part, of the picsideiit, no step was made, though the people of the town had arrauged aVeceptiea and a lunch. The train rau slowly by the depot, and Mr. Arthur did net even go te the back plat form of his car, much te the disgust of the geed citizens of Orlande, who had fully prepared th-jmselves te make the first visit of the president of the United States te their town a memorable occa sion. ruiiiTiNu out a uiwncir:.
