THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1879.
The Secretary of the Treasury, on
January 14th, issued the eighty-first
call for the redemption of 6-20 bonds.
The call Is for $20,000,000.
Pennsylvania's State Treasurer re
ports that the public debt December 1
was $21,680,200, having been reduced
during the fiscal year $1,008,193.
The wife of a farmer of Norfolk
county, Virginia, named Ilyslop, was
on Saturday frightened to death, being
chased by a horse while out in a field.
It has been suggested that Presi
dent Hayes Would perhaps dissapoint
all applicants for the Berlin mission
by transferring Kasson from Vienna
to Berlin. This would be a promotion
for Kasson, and, as the Vienna mission
Is not so much sought after, it would
not be so difficult to All it.
It Is said at the State Department,
Washington, that the Mexican Gov
ernment has made arrangements for
the payment of the third installment
three hundred thousand dollars of
the indemnity to American citizens,
due this month. The previous install
ments are being distribut6d.
The Connecticut legislature met
. in joint convention Jan. 0th and
elected the republican state ticket as
follows: Governor, Charles B. An
drews, of Litchfield; lieutenant gov
ernor, David Gallup, of Plainfield ;
(secretary of state, David Torrance,
of Norwald ; comptroller, Chauncy
Howard, of Coventry.
Mr. Henry C. Nort, who wrote the
song. "My Grandfather's Clock," is
reported as saying : "I have written a
thousand or more songs, and one of
the worst of them all has made mo
famous in a small way. Some of the
best things I have ever written have
had a very limited sale, and a few
Bongs on which I have spent the most
time have never sold at all.'1
The Pittsburgh Telegraph says, In
the first national platform adopted by
tho Republican party, slavery and po
lygamy were denounced as "twin
relics of barbarism." The first of the
twins went down in the bloody conflict
which it brought upon tho country,
and now, after a long contest, a legal
. doom has been pronounced upon the
other by the Supremo Court of the
United States. The Court has decided
that the anti-bigamy laws of Con
gress, which prohibit polygamous
marriages in Utah are constitutional.
During the year 1878 the Pennsyl
vania oil regions produced 15,188,015
barrels of crude petroleum. There
were 3,000,000 barrels in stock at the
commencement of 1878. Of the
amount produced, 13,572,150 barrels
were shipped from the region. Nearly
two-thirds of this (9,523,909 barrels)
was sent to foreign countries. In De
cember, 1877, oil was worth $2,12 J a
barrel at the well. During the past
year it declined to 85 cents. Since
July last it lias rarely been over $1 a
barrel. The producers lost nearly $15,
000,000 in 1S78. At the close of the
year there were 4,500,000 barrels on
hand more than the demand called
for. Yet every well in the region
is kept producing to its full capacity-
The Philadelphia Weekly Press
says : . the death of Represenative
Hartridge, of Georgia, is the third
death since this session of Congress
opened, and several Representatives
are in a condition of greater or less
danger. Mr. Hartridge was a member
of the Confederate Congress during
the war, and was at the close of a two
term service at Washington. He de
clined re-election. His chief public
service was the preparation, last ses
sion, of the adverse report of the ma
jority of the Committee on the Judici
ary upon the bill of Mr. Kimmel, of
Maryland, for referring the Presiden
tial title to the Courts. The ground
taken was that the two Houses
of the Forty-fourth Congress, having
declared the result of the election, no
subsequent Congress has power to re
vise such declaration, nor can such
power -be exercised by tho Courts of
the United States, orauy other tribunal
that Congress can create under the
Constitution.
The bill introduced in tho House
by Mr. S. S. Cox, to provide for taking
the tenth census, takes as a basis a bill
prepared by Mr. Garfield, introduced
last session. Some new and important
features are incorporated, however,
many of them being in accordance
with the recommendations of General
Walker, made hi his late conference
with the Census Committee. One of
the changes- proposed is that the Gov
ernors of States and Territories shall
nominate one or more Supervisors of
Census for their respective States, and
upon such nomination the Secretary
of the Interior shall appoint tbein. If
such nominations are not made by
April 1, 1880, then the Secretary is to
make the appoiutmont absolutely
These Supervisors are to have general
supervision of the census in their States,
under the direction of tho Superinten
dent of theCensus. Another principal
feature of the bill is to induce the
States themselves to take a eensus in
1886, by providing for the payment of
60 per cent, of the cost by the General
Onverninent Other parts of the bill
relate to the machinery for carrying
the work on, and the course pursued
in the ninth census is largely followed
Mr. Cox says he believes the Joint
Committee will accept this bill-with
ery few material altewitioiis..
Washington Letter
fFroM otir regular correspondent.
Washington, D. C, January 8, 1879.
People who have never lived in a
largo city little know Hie phases of
life to be daily seen there, arid even
those who do live in cities, if their
daily walk and conversation is Con
fined to respectable society, have but
little Idea of what is going on around
them. The men and women whose
days arc spent in seeking their own
amusement and In the contemplation
of peace and plenty, know little of the
shifts and straits of those who barely
exist by their wits. And when a
cold snap comes on, like that through
which Ave have just passed, there are
many strange distressing sights to be
witnessed by those Who look about
them and some very funny things
to be observed as well. Warm cloth
ing is in demand at such a time,
though there are plenty in every city
who havn't got it. And then when
old boreas whistles around the comer
at such a terrific rate it is suggestive of
something to keep tho inner inan
warm, and then comes an increased
desire for hot scotch and torn and jerry,
the aroma of which floats In a most
tantalizing way from the half open
doors of sample-rooms on every corner.
The man who draws his decanter of
French brandy, and his fine old wines
from a well filled cellar knows nothing
about the dodges of the ''old bums"
around town, who must beat a bar
keeper to get even an "eye-opener."
Agoodnatured manipulator of the
vinous fluids who prides himself on
being up to all the tricks of the bum
ming fraternity was "done" by one of
them the other morning, in a way that
makes him hang his head in grief.
While arranging the paraphernalia
of the bar preparatory to the day's
business, a moderately seedy bum ap
peared at the counter, and in a business-like
manner slapped his hand on
the bur, wherein was heard the jingle
of coin, and asked for a "leettle old
rye." taking a drink which, in the i
parlance of the knights of the roads,
would be denominated a "snorter," he
raised his hand from the counter and ,
disclosed a two-cent piece. "By jingo!"
exclaimed the bum, "I thought it was
a quarter ;"at the same time fumbling
in his pocket for "change" that wasn't
there. One look at the quiet smile
lurking in the corners of his customer's
mouth, and the sling maker realized
that he was sold, and as the bummer
slowly wended his way out put tho
new trick away in the cavities of his
memory. Theother morning a rather
genteely dressed individual stepped up
to the bar of one of our hotels, and
after a slight remark about the incon
venience of night travel in cold
weather, borrowed a quarter to get
shaved, which he would return as soon
as the landlord opened the safe, where
his valuables were locked up. The
safe has not been opened yet. The art
of getting three beers and enough
crackers and cheese for a square meal
for til'teen cents, has been reduced to an
exact science by these chaps, and they
all have a regular route. But recently
an improvement has been made on
this system by a tall cadaverous-looking
individual habilitated something
like Mr, BrocKlehurst in the play or
''June Eyre," a badge of mourning on
his plug hat, and an old umbrella
under his arm. When the barkeeper
is busy he glides gently up to the
counter, hangs his umbrella near the
cracker and cheese bowl, and when his
eyes are turned drops several fistsfull
of crackers in his rain protector. In
the same quiet and subdued manner
he lays down his nickle tor a glass of
beer and stalks out. The thing is
done the umbrella contains crackers
and cheese enough to lunch on the re
mainiler of tho day. The extent of
the tricks played in this line may be
partly realized when it is known that
every morning there awakens at least
live hundred dry, impecunious chaps,
thirsty for a dram, and who manage
before the sun goes down to get one.
There is no use in getting mad and
kicking them out, for they are not
only used to that, but alter their
drinks would as soon be kicked out as
not ; some of them rather, as it makes
the feeling of warmth given by the
dram extend further down their
systems. I am not writing a temper
ance lecture, though every story has its
moral. The most practicable sugges
tion I have seen in the direction of
temperance reform is that of C. T.
Campbell, who recomends the man
who must drink to make his wife the
barkeeper. Every time you want a
drink pay her the regular price for it,
and she will make enough oft' of every
gallon you consume to buy a dress.
"When you have become an inebriate,
unable to support yourself, shunned
and despised by respectable people, she
will have money enough-to Keep you
untill you get ready to fill a drunkard's
grave.''
congress is at it again, rne wen
informed politicians who aro always
standing about the halls in great num
bers, huve settled the question or an
extra session, which they now say is to
be helil. That is, tliey thuiK there is
going to be so much difteranee between
tho House and Senate, on the impor
tant appropriation bills, that an extra
session will be necessary. The theory
is that the Democrats want it in order
to get possession of the Senate offices,
but that they will so manage matters
as to throw the responsibility upon
the Republicans. One object is to
avert a great danger. If both Hayes
and "Wheeler should die, the white
House would be occupied by the Presi-

important that a Democrat successor
to Ferry should be elected as soon as
possible. These posted politicians who
are always ready to dispose of grave
questions for either party on very short
notice, say lurther that tho nrst thing
the Senate will do after it becomes
Democratic, will be to retire Vm. Pitt
Kellogg to private life, on the ground
that lie was admitted on the certificate
of Packard who never was Governor
of Louisiana.
Another band of Indian chiefs are
iu Washington. They are quartered
at the Tremont house, where many
curiosity seekers go daily to look at
them. They are Utes, from the Los
I'inoa agency iu Colorado, and came
here under the pilatage of Ageut Kel
ley, for the purpose of negotiating the
sale of four miles square of their reser
vation. Aiv influential delegation of
of Cherokees are also here to enter
their protest against the proposed
opening un of the Indian Territory.
