His statements on this sub ject are deserving of the closest at tention on tbe part of Congress. We full believe his statements will be r.ttestcd Vy facts. General Sheridan's official re port U the Congressional Investigat ing Committee is most appalling. In Ue State ot Louisiana alone, 6inee 1."., there has been killed 2,142, and wounded 2.115 persons,, on account .,t political opinions. And yet iu the fare of this borriWe record, furnish ed by on entirely trustworthy officer, the Democratic press continues to scout'at alleged outrages in the South, uad bowls frantically over Sheridan's xtvling the leajers of the Wbite I.eagne assassins and banditti. Ah ! bat these four thoumnd fvo hundred i nd fifty-fix victims were Republi cans, and that makes all the differ ence in the world in the eyes of Dem ocratic demagogues. Tuk Democratic party is proline of small potato politician?, and l'enn sylvaaia has the credit of famishing the f mallest of tbe breed in the pres ent Congress. A few days sin-c "backpay" Spoor, of tbe Huntingdon district, wasted the time of the House and delayed legislation by introduc ing a resolution against a Presiden tial third term, and called the previ ous questions on it. Of course the Republicans all roted against such a resolution at such a time, and Speer aud the Democratic press arc bappy over the opportunity of charging that the Republicans ore in favor of a third term. Bless its pitty, ittr soul it is a great big politician, and shall bave a stick of candy, tnd the pretty moon, too, w hen it falls. 1'i.oi.s oidy, give faith to Democrat ic pledges, that are made solely to be hroken. The latest and most nota ble instance of Democratic jugglery with professed principles, was expos iu the lower House of Congress last week. Tending the passage of the Civil Rights bill, w hich was was btiag frantically fought by tbe Democratic members, Mr. Shanks, of Indiana, laid naked their falsehood, and ex posed their hypocrisy, by introducing and having added as a preamble to the bill, the followiog plank from the last Democratic platform, viz: 'Wc recognize the equality of nil men before the law. and hold that "it is the duty of the Government in its dealings with the people to mctc out equal and exact justice to nil, of whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion, relicious or political." As the Civil Rights bill simply embodies those principles into the law, the squirming of Democratic members under this dose of their own concocting was pitiable. A ma jority of them, however, concluded to give the lie to their own profes sions rather than vote for the bill, and so the record as made up proves that when the Democratic party put forth to the country the above reso lution as nn article of their faith, they were simply lying, and intended to break their pledge, as they did so, on the Grst opportunity. The Rosonmiller petition was brought up again, on motion to ,) ili( Journal of Friday last to make it correspond with the steno grapher's report, referring thereto. Afier nearly nn hour's discussion, Mr Reiirhard. Democrat, called tbe previous question, which was sus tained and tbe m jtion to amend was lofrt. yeas C2, nays 80. Mr. Toner, on leave U-ing given, reported tavorawv tne inn repealing the Local OptLn law. Mr. Rodgers presented the minor ity report, which wa read, giving the reasous why he and his co' leagues voted againr-t the bill in committee. The Committee on Flections made a final report in the case of Mr. Chrismaa, the Harrisburg member, giving him undisputed possession of the sett. Mr. Campbeil, ol Bui'.er, moved to recommit the bill to repeal the Local Option law to tic Judiciary Com mittee. Tending this a motion to adjourn prevailed yeas 72, nays GX. They've been fooling with the devil and the lawyers ia the Legis lature at Harrisburg, and if the first named gentleman does'nt get bis rrab-bag filled out of a House tbat made its records lie, so as to screen a nincompoop Speaker, then the adage that asserts be "always gets bis due," will be falsified. The reporter cf the Connucrcial says tbat during the debate on the bill allowing defendants in criminal cases to testify, Mr. McKin'ey, of Lawrence, orged tbe point that the law, if passed, would practically of fer a premium on perjury; aud that men, with their lives in their hands, would swear to whatever was neces sary to save them, winding up, ia U- Dt RiNCithe discussion on the Civil Rights bill in the lower House ot Congress, after several Democratic orators had opposed it as derogatory to the white people, and as tending to force social equality between the races, Mr. Cain a colored member obtained the floor and in tbe course of bis speech got in the following stinging left hander on the mug of the Dcmocracr. nc sneered at the idea of there be i:i2 bad blood between tbe races at the South, when the statistics show ed that there wereover 1,700,000 mu lattoes" in the country. That was not much evidence of bad blood. Laughter. If the negroes would only cease ti be Republicans, and would vote the straight out Democrat ic ticket, there would not be bad blood between them. As to social equality, be derided it as a bugbear. "Why," said be, "do jou suppose I would ia troduce into my family a class of white men "vhom I see in the coun try ? Do you suppose so for one mo ment ? Why, sir, there are men who occupy places on this floor for w horn I bave great respect, and yet I should be very careful bow I should intro duce them to my family. Laughter. 1 should be afraid that their old hab its, acquired beyond Mason and Dick son's line, might return and (with great dramatic effect) stir up bad blood." Loud laughter. The deficiency cf revenue caused by the too rapid reduction of nation al taxation, and the monetary panic of the last year, has made necessary additional taxation.

Now that Frank Moulton is cut of the way, tbe sensation in the groat tragic-comedy now bcitg played ia Brooklyn, is tbe examination of Til ton. If Moulton was surprise, Tiltou is siill m ire of o ie. From tbe time he stepped into the witness plaee he has hyld the attention of the people very closely. He is evt-u a better witness lino Mouhou w.s. The lawyers have not been able to budge bim a particle; he keeps his U;mper admirably, aud is as cool and self-possessed as though he were de livering a lecture. His face wears an expression of saduess, aud he is evidently wurn bv the long and weariug struggle. But ho is con ducting himself admirably. He says nothing harsh or vindictive. W ben- ever his eyes rest upon his wife they fill with teuderuess, and his looks at Beecher are not ugly. Tiltou's testiuiuny is very direct and positive. It would seem that Moulton aud Tiltou's testimony ought to convict Beecher, but nobody can tell what Beeeber has iu reserve. It is sa:d tbat w hen he gets upon the stand the fur will fly. He will de ny the truth of ali the statements of Moulton aud Tilton, treuting tbe whole matter as a conspiracy, aud claims to be able to show this. He has in readiness an explanation for all hs own letters which he claims will make them a iuuocent as new milk t hut they referred to matters entirely foreign to Mrs. Tilton, aud aro in a sense ceufessiuns. Whether he can do this or not he keeps up his courage wonderfully, and is not only not burdened bv the p .sition he is iu. but is even jolly. Mrs. Tilton aud Mrs. Beecher are in the court room all the time, aud they chut with Beecher from lime to time as jolly as Xi'igs. The trial will occupy weeks yet, aud when done, the public will be in tue precise position they were at the outset, for the jury will never agree in the world. Plymouth Church wilt accept it us an acquittal, and the people outside will remain uiviaeu iu opinion as tliey are now. .otniug wiil come of it. Some years ago it was given out by medical authorities that Consump tion, in certain stages, couju 0e cured by drinking warm blood from an ox. This treatment was urged for noti.n- Iv consumptives, but for all cases of weakness nnd general debility. Over two hundred people visit the slanghter-house in this city daily fur this purpose. They hold their glasses so us to catch the stream as it flows from the dying animal, and drink it steaming as it is. 1 ventured to taste it, and did not find it ns bad as I h id supposed. It tastes some thing like new milk, with a slightly saltish flavor. The habitual drinkers claim to ' e much benefiitd by ii, a id many of them have learned to like it. They only take the blood from heal thy, good-conditioned steers that have been long enough off ihe cars to be perfectly cool. RAILROADS. A meeting of the principal railroad presidents of the United States is now iu progress at the St Nicholas Hotel. They are considering the expediency of continuing tbe com missioners and the policy adopted at Saratoga iu July last. The meeting was exceedingly , harmonious, and finally resulted in a 'resolution sus pending the power of the Western commissioners temporarily as far as the freight business is concerned, leaving the rates and general man agement f the Easfbouud traffic in the hands of the Western general freight agents. This will give these gentlemen nn opportunity to try their bands again, and they improve it, and restore harmony, nnd get rates back to a reasonable competing basis, they will prove to their em ployers, and the railway interests of tbe country generally, that there is still left in the country some brains and talent outside of granges and commissions. The railroad men are alarmed at tbe condition of tbe busi ness. Tbe carryiug trade has drop ped a full half ia quantity and reve nue, and the passeuger trade is even worse. One prominent president, who is a very level-headed man, made the assertion yesterday that unless some change took place very soon every railroad we.-t of Buffalo would lie bankrupt before midsum mer. Whether there is good founda tion for this prophecy or not, one thing is certain, thu railrouds are in a bad way, and the managers are very dcspotideut. form centres for tbeir sections of tbe country, and the lake ports nearer the seaboard hold tbeir own, and are getting more to hold every rear. It is thought that after tbe steady cold of the winter, spring will opeu early, and this year s trado lie a genuine advance on '.he last. THE CHARITY HAM. ihisseuson was distinguished by the most superb dressing aud greatest display of jewels at any of these pop ular balls, since tbey vvere instituted Good society bad a dread tbat the attendance of "the charity" was too promiscuous lor fashionable suscep tibilities, and an effort was made to rescue it from the hands of those who wished, by their presence,. on this occasion, to push them elves in to society. Accordingly t'.d dresses were magnificent, and theuueudauce of tbe beet families all 'bat could be desired, although comments were made on the presence of several ac tresses, whose success condones tbeir notoriety. Mrs. Rousby, the Eng lish actress, celebrated fur ber beau ty, was much noticed in a wbite satin dress, with several yards o' train, wbicli her attendant had some ado t keep clear of. The dresses were of the richest descriptiou, vel vet aud heavy silk, or velvet and satin, with overdresses of point or of silver lace, looped up with such a profusion of flowers app.e blossoms aud oriar roses, poud lilies, snowballs and gerauiums, roses iu full bloom, das.es, lilies of the valley and fuchsias till all the seasons seemed to have lent tbeir contributions to tbe ball. Tbe loveliest dresses of all were cream-colored silks, embroidered all over like sujierb damask, or with rich lace insertion in stripes. Rich while silks were worn by ladies of every age, instead of the deep regulation colors set apart for dowagers. Tbe young ladies, for the most part, wuie while or pink tulle aud gauze, while young matrous display ed a certain di.r.ug in colors, weariug pale-greei Jtulle aud poppies together, black sauu aud fiery scarlet over skirt and trimmings, while saliu with black velvet flounces, and yard. of pink roses, straw-colored satin with crimson velvet flounces, buff and sea net saliu, pale salmon silk train, with deep scarlet basque, ruffles aud flouuces edged by silver netting and friuge. A great many heirloom jewels were hhown ; bnt, as an artist observed, tbe ugliest women wwre the most splendid dresses. TUE KIIEPIVE'S TRESENT. The Custom House has been be seiged this week by ladies of the highest fashion anxious to be per mitted to see the diamonds sent by the Khedive of Egypt to Genera' Sherman's daughter, Mrs. Fitcl. General Sherman rendered importait service, to that potentate iu training bis army, which are acknowledged by the handsome tribute of $250,000 worth of diamonds for the lately married daughter of the American commander. Tbe necklace forms three festoons about the neck, and is so valuable tbat it is locked up in tbe Sub-Treasury for safe keeping. Tbe throng of ladies to see it was so great tbat the photographer bad barely room and space to catch a hasty image of tbe jewels, for Harp er s Bazar, w hich in Us chronicles ot what iuterets good society, always marked w tb taste and judgmeut, is for American readers w hat the court journal is to British ones. SMUGGLED SILKS. Whether every woman is a rake at heart or not, every woman is a free trader, and none of the sex appear profoundly affected by learning that tbe low price of silk which bas de lighted them for months is owing to extensive and systematic smuggling it is said with tbe connivance of tbe custom officers. The latter, it is pleaded, bave pretended to wink at the business, in hopes the easier to find a clue to the guilty parties Other accounts charge this light dealing to force tbe government to resure the moiety system. Anyhow, silks are cheap, and both women and merchants ere of the. opinion that the CO per cent, duty on silks may as well go into their own pockets as be distributed in a possible Pacific Mail subsidy.

Vix, tailor, aud live families, besides several dressmakers' establishments. It was impossible to do more than confine -the flames to these buildings, which are totally de stroyed. Falliog walls injured sev eral firemen, tut none seriously. Tbe total loss will be about $250,000. Henry Wolfhnoe l)Tl l Ik-k-T ' GiUiuoU. Lam 1'eu-r lirt.wii Oeonre J. Flick.

Tbe turn-outs on the Avenue aud in the Turk are as brilliant as ever, aud ev4iu more so. Sales of extravagant ly cosily furniture are as fn-queut as ever, aud tbe great jewelers and ex pensive dress people are doing m ire tbau their usuh! business. The fact is the society woman in New York refuses to recoguize the existence ef hard limes. She considers it the duty of the man w ho lakes the con fact of supporting her lo furnish hrr with w hat she wants just as freely oue year as another. It the poor fellow p!rads embarrassment and bad business, she answers, "What is lhat to me? I know nothing about your horrid stocks. I do kujw that 1 want tbat diamond necklace, and will have it." And tbe geuerally gets it, for several reusous. A man, always stauds in awe ot a very hand some and very fashionable womau, and besides a great many New Yorkers have discovered that it is a very good thing when tbe inevitable smash comes to have $o0,0l'0 to $100,000 in diamouds aud such things which belong to his wife, to fall back upon. This is the secret of very much of tLe extravagance that is teen iu the public places in ihe citv I be poor feel the bnrd times, audi those supposed to be rich may also, but the latter don't show it if they do. The theatres are filled nightly, the parlies and balls were never more brilliant or expensive. Of course smashes without number will occur, but they are having a good time while tbev can. This isthe very center of Yimiiy Fair. niy ;for business. The late seasons have nearlv been tbe ruin of the spring trade fi-r tbe last two years, running it close upon the summer. There has been the usual slight advance of prices, com mon at the very opening uf the sea son, and the few early buyers who are after the worm, merely look round and price goods, anticipating tbat figures w ill be lower in a short time. A member of one of the lead ing houses hero confessed to-day, it was no use to deny that trade was going beyond New Yirk to tbe West. It is useless to expect thi pity lotiger to hold the position of tbe metropo lis of trade. Tbe country is too large fyr it. Chicago and St Louis. Shortly afier eight oYlock last evening 'ire was discovered in tbe secud lloor of the extensive hard ware establishment of Whitmore. Wolff, Laue k Co., No. 50 Wood street, near Third avenue. An alarm was given which was prompt ly responded to by tbe Sre depari ment. The fire pities were fund frozen, and thus fuither delay was neeaioiied. After the engines got to work, it became evident that there was a long work before the firemen, and, as additional fuel would he needed, a second alarm was fciven. From front and rear the firemen fougbtlhe flames mauftilly, and in addition to the extreme cold, all suffered from the water, which from the difficulties in their way, they had to encounter. Their work was suc cessful in restricting the flames to the one building, but the largo stock of the firm was deluged with water, and, ol course, very materially dam aged. The building, whtch was three stories high, and one hundred feet deep, was almost completely wrecked. It was owned by Mr. K. S. Law rence, of Philadelphia, and was fully iusured. Tbe loss cannot be ascer tained, but will be about $50,000 Messrs. Whitmore, Wolff, Lane & Co., were insured to the amount ol, probably, $75,000, in home and for eign companies. Their loss cannot, at this writing, be ascertained, but will be very large. The firemen worked for three hours, and were all of them soaking wet and in the extreme cold.
