Ox Wednesday last, lor tbe first
time in the history of the country, a
colored man presided in tie National

of South Carolina, to the chair.
Coxghess has passed a bill which

On
in our
Thursday last, the Democrats
State Senate, weakened in
their resolution to prevent the cou-
'firmation of the newly appointed
I Judges, backed out of their unenvia
ble position, and voted for all the
Governor's nomiuccs. They were
forced to this bumilitating back down
by the Republicans of the House re
sorting to their own tactics, and com
pleted turatog the tables upon them.
The avowed object of these Demo
cratic Senators refusing to vote for
the confirmation of the judicial ap
pointments was to force the Republi
cans to 60 amend the fair Apportion
ment bill already passed by tbe Sen
ate, as to give them a larger number
of Senatorial districts, and so for
days they mulishly refused to vote
for any of the Judges nominated.
In the meantime the apportionment
bill came up in the Ilousc and was so
amended as to deprive the Democrats
of a numljcr of districts conceded
them by the Senate, and their own
game being thus adroitly turned upon
them, they incontinently wilted, and
sullenly voted to confirm the Gover
nor's nominations.
Thoroughly aroused by the mean
ness and selfishness displayed by
these Democratic "statesmen," when
they thought they had the Republi
can majority at a disadvantage, it is
not improbable that the House bill
will be insisted upon and adopted by j
the Senate. So if the Democracy
get a less favorable bill than was at
first offered them, they can blame the
stupid folly of their leaders for it.
The rival Governors of Arkansas
still maintain an attitude of armed
defiance towards each other, while

MOCK AUCTIONS.
The mock auction business, which
the authorities got under some years
aero, has broken out afresh witnin a
few months. The Bowery is full of
them. Stores filled with the vilest
ptt-mctal jewelry, with the tongueist
of auctioneers and the usual assort
ment of ropers-in and bidders at the
door, are becoming as plenty as in
the old days before the police killed
them out. " The young man from the
country is roped-in; the "the genuine
gold watch" is put up: he buys it;
and while the "guaranty" is being
made out it is adroitly changed, and
he finds when away that he has paid
$40, ?50, or $00 for the concern that
would be dear at five dollars a bush
el. It is a fact that respectable jew
clery have been driven out of locali
ties by these Peter Funk concerns.
Rascality is irrepressible; hold it in
in one way and it will break out in
another.
FEMALE DOCTORS.
There is very much that is bad iu
New York, and a great deal that is
good. One of the best of the good
things is the idea of the female
physician. There are over fifty
regular practising physicians in the
city of the sof'er sex women who
have gone through a regular course
of study and hospital practice.
And they have practice, too. Few
of them have an income of less than

INFLATION THE VETO.
The fiaaucial circles of the city was
agitated last Wednesday to a degree
seldom seeu. It was known that on
that day tie President would either
sign or veto the currency law, and
the whole money interest of the city
hung breathless on the event. The
wires were burdened with despatches
to Washington, for every speculator
desired to have the firt intelligence
of the fate of the bill, that he might
buy or sell, as the case might be. AH
sorts of lies were put afloat One
moment it would be announced that
tbe President had signed the bill; the
next that be would send jn a fcveto
message, and so on. At last at about
2 P. M., came tbe authortativc .an
nouncement, "tbe president has
vetoed the Senate Finance Bill,"
which set th matter at rest. Imme

depressed. The rich men out ol
business, were gratified beyond
measure, while the younger men in
active business felt that a sure prop
had been knocked out from under
tbem. The papers of the city, with
out an exception, approve the act of
the President. Even the Tribune has
a good word for him. But there is
a strong party in the city that desires"
an increase of currency; and it is
a powe The papers do not echo
public sentiment in New York on
tills natter. The question is an im
portant one, and will show itself in
next fall's elections.
It is a most perilous tling to walk
on a double track railroad. When a
train approaches on the same track
the pedestrian Is almost certain lo
ttep to the other track. While bis
attention I attracted by the passing
train be forgets the swift express that
ing that all the noise proceeds from
the train that Le w looking at, never
dreams of danger until he is burled
iuto eternity. Accidents of this kind
are of almost daily occurrence. Last
iveckfiv Pennsylvania raftsmen were
walking oa the railroad track near
Creson, on tb summit of the Alle
gheny mountain, a fee miles west of
Altoona. They stepped aidc when
they saw a freight train approaeUog,
and tbe next minute four of them
mere knocked lifeless by the light
ning express, and tbe fifth so badly
injured that Lis rceorcry is consider
ed doubtful.
A juiET and unanswerable argu
ment sustaining the President' vcU
of tbe currency bill, and proving the
shallowness of the demand for more
currency for the xuth and west was
laid before the public on Friday last
when tbe Comptroller of tbe Currcn

bow is an increase of the circulating
medium going to belp the South and
West when they Lave not the capital
.lo attract it
among women and children, and it is
claimed by those who employ thciu
that they are more successful than
physicians of the other sex. There
is a reason for this. Tbe invalid
woman can confide more full' in a
woman than she can in a man, and it
is more fitting that women should
stand at the bedsides of women.
There are four colleges in the city
devoted to the training of women
for this wide field of usefulness.
There can not be too many of
them.
IirsiXESS AND RI M.
Business has been dull, flat and
unprofitable all last fall and last win
ter, aud it continues in the same state
of health now. The merchants have
made no money, and the same is
of all tbe professions. And yet there
has been more fine, costly liquors
consumed in this city this winter
than ever before. Tbe amount of
costly champagnes that have been
drank is really startling. Now oue,
would suppose that when money is
scarce and tight, and business dull,
that men would economize in their
luxuries. But it does not so work.
The harder the times the more expen
sive the potations. Does a man get
desperate from adversity? I hat is the
question. Ibe tailors, suirtmakers,
boemakers everybody wbo furnisn-
neccssities have suffered from hard
times, because men have worn their
old clothes to economize; but the
same men are drinking the most cost
ly drinks money can buy. Curious,
isn't it?
KAHD TRANSIT-
Tbe city is and has been for years
trying to get some better way to get
from one end of the island to the
other, but so far to no purpose.
With tbe exception of the elevated
railway on the west side of the city,
there is nothing better or faster than
the common horse-car or the primi
tive stage, and as tbe companies
owning these lines have untold
wealth, and as everything in Albany
is governed by money, it is probable
that there will be nothing devised for
years to take their place. But it is a
terrible want, nevertheless. It
takes the people of the c;ty
a full hour to get from their homes to
their places of business, which takes
two hours of the twenty-four in
travel. Then the discom'ort of the
travel is something fearful. If it
rains, the cars swarm with people. i
Every scat is occupied, the aiale is!
crowded with standing men and wo
men; the platforms front and rear
are jammed, even tbe steps are oc
cupied. When it is hot tbe crowd is
the same; in short, from 7 to JO iu
the morning, coming do vn, and from
5 to 7 in the afternoon, going up,
cacii car is a moving pergatory. Tbe
trouble the New Yorker has to face
is, he cannot li;c near bis business,
because rente arc 0 fearfully high ;
be cannot live away frobi Lis busi
ness, because of tbe waste of time
and discomfort of going to and fro.
But the later alternative is tbe one
ho has to except, and consequently
he standi and rides and growls three
hundred acd twelre days in the year.
Various remedies are suggested.
There is an underground railroad,
the cars intended to be "propelied by
compressed air, on which some hun.
hrcds of thousands of dollars have
been spent ; but it never will ba fin
ished. Then it is proposed to build

A DrrnirulTrAKCcly.
A shocking tragedy was developed
yesterday morning in Mifflin Town
ship, Allegh -ny County, about eight
miles obove this city, on the south
bank of tbe Monouguhela river, and
a mile and a half irom Homestead,
on the line of the Pittsburgh, Virgin
ia, and Charleston Railwuy. At lirt
it was reported that the dwelling of
Mr. John Haninett (a well-to-do
farmer residing at the place stated)
had caught lire during the night ami
was destroyed, the inmates having
perished in the flames. The
family consisted of Mr. Hamtit-tt,
his wife, two children, a boaud boy
named Robert Smith, and a German
farmhand. That the house had been
burned was true, and that the bodies
of those comprising the family hail
been roasted in the ruins was a sad
reality. Yet an examination showed
tbat they had not been burned lo
death by accident, but murdered, and
the house fired by the murderer to
conceal his dreadful work of blood.
A search through the ruim, for the
bodies of the missing led to the dis
covery that a most fiendish wholesale
butchery had been perpetrated by
some one, and suspicion soon fell up
on the German farm hand, Ernest
Love, whose body was not in the
ruins. The remains were removed
to ;he tool shed near the house,
where they were subjected to a close
examination by those who had the
courage to essay tho tak.
Sickening as was the sight of four
charred, shapeless truuks, with tbe
oder peculiar to the wasting of hu
man flesh, there were marks of
wounds the sight of which were more
harrowing.
The skull of John Haninett, though
half consumed, showed that it had
been broken in by a fearful blow.
Near by where he lay were the
remains of his little daughter Ida.
aged about eight years, her skull
showing similar fractures.
The body of Mrs. Haninett was
easily distinguished, from the fact
that it was surrounded by the metal
rings or hoops which she had been
in the habit of wearing. The flesh
was nearly ail consumed, but there
was a mass of burnt feathers about
her, which indicated that she must
have been in bed when murdered
or placed thereon after the bloody
deed had been done. Her skull,
like those of the others, had been
crushed in.
Robert Smith, bound boy,
about twelve vears, was not so
pletely burned up as the others,
two deep cuts were plainly percepti
ble upon his tiiroat, although the
skin was crisped and hard. The en
tire side ofthe skull was dreadfully
backed and mnshed.
The remains of the fifth victim,
littjc Emma, a daughter aged about

Tbe motive. It was generally sup
posed that Haninett had consider
ble money about the house, and Love
had no doubt either heard the story,
or had seen something during bis
stay to confirm this belief. Money
seems to have been the only motive
for the dreadful crime. Haninett

been possessed of an extraordiuary
amount of nerve to carry out to the
end this fearful tragedy. Most men
would have become appalled with
the blood of three persons upon their
soul, and fled in terror from the scene
before tbe arrival of tbe other two;
but this monster was not to be
thwarted in his purpose. The butch
ery is one of the most dreadful and
cold-blooded in the annals of the
State.
