Among the resolutions of the new

for so many years. N sensible, rea

The new Chairman of the House
Committee on Pensions is Captain
Hewitt, of Alabama. His military
title was conferred by the confedera
cy, and he won his spurs at Chick
atnauga fighting against the Union.
That is just the right sort of a man,
from a Democratic point of view, to
dole out pensions to crippled soldiers
and the widows and orphans of their
dead comrades in arms. The Carlisle-Morrison
team could not have
done anything more truly Demo
cratic. It is ratlwr entertaining in these
times, when American agriculture
has attained prodigious proportions
under the influence of twenty four
years of the Republican protective
tariff policy, to find free traders af
fecting to sympathuejwith the farm
ing and planting interests of this
country on account of the alleged
absence of protection for our nation
al agriculture. But they do not un
aeriane lo suojw new they propose
to protect American oreadstuffs.
provisions, live stock or cotton.
A voice is coming up from the
outii in favor of Protection, and the
startled Democrats are beginning to
lend a listening ear. They scent the
clanger in a divided south, and are
quietly moderating their free trade
demands. Manufactures are pro
gressing with giant strides in several
southern States, and the voters will
not assent willingly to their sacrifice.
Several of the ablest Democratic
papers in Alabama, Mississippi, Ten
nessee, Louisiana, Xorth Carolina
and Virginia hare declared their be
lief that their States cannot be car-.
rid by the Democracy on a free
trade platform. Hence these back
ward fi&eps.
For the first time since the war,
the Democrats last year, had a ma
jority of the Governors. They had
elected twenty-five Democrats to
thirteen Republican Governors, and
rtey have the sam numb Ibis
yew, having lost one in Massach'
etu nd gained one in Ohio. This,
iiower, does not indicate their
strength in the coming contest
They have accidental Governors in
Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas,
vi.da, Michigan, Xew iersey, New
York, Ohio and PenniyWwiJa, in
which States it Is a certainty thai
the Republicans will this year carry
a majority of the electoral votes.
The hottest fight of the day is
i being waged among the Democrats
of Ohio. Senator Pendleton, who is
up for re election, was indiscrete
enough, during the last session of
Congress, to identify himself with
the advocates of civil service reform,
and as the doctrine of his party is,
"to the victors belong the spoils,"
they naturally and bitterly denounce
his attempted innovation en their
cherished creed. Columbus is
swarming with Democratic spoils
men ; the right is rancorous and per
sonal, and it looks as if Paynet (his
opponent,) would be nominated by
a large majority, if Mr. rendition
permits his name to go before the
caucus.
At the last session of Congress
Senator "Cerro Gordo" Williams, of
Kentucky, opposed extending the
bonded period on whisky. He is
now a candidate for re election and
the whisky men are having their
innings. They are fighting him
viciously, and have combined their
strength on Congressman Blackburn,
who last year worked hard in their
interest. Williams is reported to
be epending large snms of money,
but the strong combination of whisky
men will le likely to oversize his
pile. Bourbon is King in Kentucky,
and it looks as if the old Senator
will be downed. Speaker Carlisle is
now spoken of as a compromise can
didate. The caucus w ill be held on
the loth of this month.
Reports come from Washington
that Mr. Samuel J. Randall will
make an attempt to prevent his
Democratic brethren from commit
ting hari-kari, by as speedily as
possible reporting the appropriation
bills, pushing them through under
the whip, and then adjourning.
This is a shrewd plan to postpone
action on the tariff until after the
election, but we opine that Mr. Ran
dall is reckoning without the host.
The free trade element that beat him
for Speaker w ill not be readily chok
ed off, and if it is not scared from
its plans by the aroused sentiment
of the country, midsummer will find I

The Democratic free trade journ
nals have lately been chuckling over
the depression of the iron trade in
this country, and sneeringly point
ing to it as evidence that protection
i a failure. With the advent of the
new year comes the news from Eng
land of heavy failures among the
iron men there, two firms having
gone under with liabilities amount
ing to seven million of dollars, and
ten other mills having been com
pelled to suspend. So it is very ev
ident that free trade does not save
its followers from bankruptcy. Over
production and an over-stocked
market hrve affected the trade, both
in this country and in England, the
only difference being that the big
failures take place in free trade Eng
land, whereas if we had free trade,
as is proposed oy the Democrats,
tiiey would take place in this coun
try. The Philadelphia Xorth American
seasonably recalls a page of history
regarding the tariff legislation of the
past, as follows :
'There was no w ide difference of
opinion itnong public men as re
spected the tariff up to 1832. Gen.
Jackson was elected as a protective
tariff man. The fact that he weakly
succumbed to the demands of south"
ern freetraders after his second elec
tion does not affect the status of the
tariff issue of that time. Important
concessions were made to the fre
trad wing of the party, not from
conviction, but from a desire to con
ciliate the oligarchy.
Ihus business suffered the most
complete eollaj seit lias ever suffered
in this country in 1837. The Whigs
came up in 1811 and gave us the
high tariff of 1S42. Business revived
at once, and the country seemed to
have entered upon an era of pros
perity. So convinced were the
masses that a protective tariff was
absolutely necessary that Mr. Polk
postured as a friend of the tariff of
1842 during his candidacy. The cry
here in Pennsylvania was "Polk,
Dallas and the tariff of 1842!" Mr.
Polk could not have been elected
had be declared for a revenue tarifl
simply, liut no sooner had hetaken
his seat than he began to play the
traitor. the tariff of 184b was the!
uuiu'inr ui line in iismi. j iiw iiiiicii
of 1847--8 flung the traitors partly
out of power. But the tariff remain
ed to vex the country. The country
n.niA ' i , ; . . .. t u : . i. i
lagged behind in every branch of
growth from the dav the tarifl of
184G began to take effect until the
Republicans came in and enacted
the tariff of 1SG3. The result of the
tariff of 1S46 was seen in the decline
of prosperity which culminated in a
collapse iu 18.57, and the doubling
up of the public debt during the ad
ministration of Mr. Buchanan. Our
revenues were at such a low ebb
during the term of the latter that
money had to b borrowed at a ruin
ous shave to pay the ordinary ex
penses of the government. Even
then Mr. Buchanan went out leaving
a considerable floating debtin the
shape of bills payable. Of course it
will not be admitted that this bears
upon the question of tariff policy.
Oh, no. it happened so. It was a
coincidence. Thii is the usual way
of disposing of the iietion on its
merits."

Wecooiiuend to the friends of Mr.
Blaino's ropaeitioa of National
Taxation for State purposes, oma
opinions of men who will be reog
nized by everybody as among the
l greatest statesmen this country ever
produced, lienry (Jlay said. ee

Daniel Webster in hie speech of

"There would be insuperable ob
jections, in my opinion, to a settled
practice of distributing revenue
among the States. It would be a
strange operation of things and its
effects on our system of Government
might well be feared. I can not rec
oncile myself to the spectacle of the
States receiving their revenues, their
meaiis even of supporting their own
Government from the Treasury of

do just what these eminent states

be done. Mercer Divpatch.
WASHINGTON LtTTTER.
From Our Regular Corrctpondent,
Washington, Jan. 5, l-SS-i.
So far as Washington was con
cerned the new year opened gloomy,
damp, and cheerless, greatly to the
disgust of those who received, as
well as those who made calls. Gen
tlemen had been looking over their
cravats, and gloves, making their
'lists" revolving the question of
carriage hiro, and hoping it would
not be sloppy. Ladies had been
decorating their iiomes, arranging
their Unlets, and it is said practicing
poses. Tailors had done a thriving
business cleaning and pressing
'swallow tails' and 'Prince Alberts,'
one of the annually recuring ques
tions that was vexing fashionable
men of speculative mind was, wheth
er a new year call should be made
in a swallow tail or frock coat. The
dictum of fashion in the matter was
that, the new year call beinsr a morn
ing call, should be made in mornii g
dress, but coats of both styles were
worn. It had been noised abroad
that alcoholic sideboards would be
in disfavor this time ; that fashion
would be on the side of common
j sense, morality and reform : that
fashion had decided that hosuitality
did not conist in turning ones
house into a free lunch saloon. But
it eo happened that punches and

the most disagreeable mornings the
year could be expected to furnish.
. r i
wosi oi mem wtre too gallant to
surrender, or to disappoint their
friends who kept open house. Car
riages, cabs and hansoms went w hirl
ing through the rain, each makins
its round according to schedule. In
the official circles of the capital new
years day is devoted to ceremonial
calls. The interior of the Executive
mansion was beautifully decorated
'i. orriuors and nar hr -rc -ro,-
;oers and plants. Columns and
i chandeliers wtre festooned with
jsmilax. President Arthur had in-
ivitedalong list of ladies to assist
mm in receiving, iuclmlii
me
the wives o cabinet officers, Senators
and Representatives. At 11 o'clock
the Marine band, stationed in the
vestibule of the White House, he.-fin
to play -Hail to the Chief and the
1 resident and his assistants descend
ed to the blue parlor. The President
escorting Mrs. Carlisle, the wife of
the SpeaKer of the House, w ho is
now tha leading lady, according to
the official etiquette of Washington.
The first guests presented were
the Diplomatic Corps, each wearing
the Court dress of his nationality
and the honors and decorations
which are so profusely conferred in
Europe. Next came Cabinet officers
and the' Justices of the Supreme
Court, then followed Army and
Navy officers in full uniform, next,
ivil officers, then various oreaniza
tions such as the Grand Army of the
Bepublic, Mexican Veterans, and
oldest inhabitants, with their dis
tinctive badges and military caps.
Here the official reception ended,
and the people next shook the Pres
ident's hand. The scene in the great
East room, which received all the
guests for a little while before they
went out into the rain again, was in
teresting. first, it was filled with
the members of the Foreign Lega
tions in tl eir cold embroidered vel
vet cwurt uniforms, and their wives
in rich costumes, then came the
uniformed Army and Navy officers,
and last the citizens. One class gave
place to the othr gradually, so that
each was at sometime mingled witli
another.
During the entire reception Mr.
Blaine stood behind the president,
surrounded by richly dressed ladies,
and looked quite harpy. He did
not assist in the hand shaking but
was the object of as much attention as
the president himself, and when he
went into the East room, became
at once the centre of an admiring
th rong. Senator Logan was follow
ed by curious eyes, and when he,
Mr. Blaine.and President Arthur
came together for a few minutes and
passed some trifling jest that was
lost to the crowd, the eroup of pres
idential possibilities was the subject
of no little comment.
Among other cranks in the proces
sion was Dr. Mary Walker with her
trousers, frock-coat and plug hat.
Liter in the day, the ladies of the
cabinet ami Supreme Court dispen
j sed the hospitalities of the season at
! their elegant homes, and the wife of

A Yauthful Couple.
Allentou'x, January 2. The
upper ssction of Lehigh county,
near the Berks line, is considerably
exercised over the elopement of tiro
rather youthful persons. O. J.
Smith is a handsome youth, sixteen
years of age. Amanda Klaze, that
was, is a plump, pretty lass of thir
teen. The children were frequently
seen together at church and Sunday
school, and Smith seemed very much
devoted to the girl They agreed to
get married, but, fearing parental
objection would be made and thwart
their plan, they quietly departed in
the direction of Steinville. Their
disappearance caused a commotion,
as did their return after an absence
of a few days. When pressed for an
explanation of their conduct, they
informed the girl's parents that they
had been made man and wife, anil
then they presented the marriage
certificato. The patecle were start

Fearful Calamity.
St. Locis, January 6. The con
vent fire at Belleville was a most ap
palling horror. The alarm of fire
was first given by the watchman at
Harrison's machine works near bv.
When he reached the place, the win
dows of the third floor presented a
spectacle that was enough to send a
horrible shudder through the stout
tst heart There in their night,
clothes, suddenly aroused from their
slumbers, stood in despair a large
number of the terrified inmates of
that floor. There was no chanee of
rescue, and the only alternative was
the dreadful leap. Soon afterwards
volumes of smoke were seen to
spread throughout the building, fol
lowed by ioud explosions, and then
a few took the desperate chances of
hurling themselves through the win
dows.
HEARTRENDING scenes.
Mary Campbelha teacher, was the
first to try the almost hopeless or
deal, and as she fell to the pavement
her frail body was hurriedly remov-
eu to tne Harrison machine worKs.
where after a few casus she expired.
Daisy Eberman managed to crawl
through the windows of the third
floor and find a perilous position on
the cornice over the main doorway.
;he there remained for quite a long
time screaming for suecor, from the
heat within and cold without. At
last the confined flames and smoke
burst from the windows around her
and she was hurled to the ground
below, but her fall was broken by
two men who stood with outstretch
ed arms to receive her. She was not
seriously hurt Her escape was mi
raculous,
meagre aid.
Lmil J. Kald was one of the first
to render practical aid to the imper
iled inmates. Knowing where to
procure a long ladder from the rear
of the premises he, with the aid of
others, soon had it in position at the
front of the building doing gallant
service. Jt readied to the second
floor and two stout men ascenbed it
with another smaller ladder bv
which they reached the third floor
and provided an escape for a num
ber of the sisters and boarders. Sis-
ier .uoueraie aoout this time was
found lying on the "round on the
outside of the building, quite dead.
it is thought that she tell insensibly
from a window on that side of the
building. At the same time, on the
south side of the main building, two
ladies, not known to the rescuers,
were saved from thetop of a veran
dah even with the second floor. They
boubtless leaped from the story
above and in their fall on the roof
were stunned and when discovered
were nearly frozen. A short ladder
was found but it could not reach
them. At this juncture George
Merker and John Steinaeher took
the ladder and resting it on the pro
jection oi the porch managed to se
cure it and the ladies were rescued
The flames were rapidly spreading
and in spite of the brave efforts of
the gallant firemen to stay their pro
gress me insiaeoi the Duildmg soon
surrendered to the flames, and noth
ing was left for them to do except to
confine it, if possible, and save the
walls. The wall on the west side
was, however, doomed, and it soon
iu. carrying aown with it blazing
timbers and fragments and burying
witn its aeons the bodies of many
precious pouls. On the fourth floor
pupil boarders, with three of the sis
ters, slept. On the third floor the
remaining sisters slept, and on tht
second, or the floor above the base
ment, what are termed orphans and
half orphans, slept. On the second
floor the inmates escaped and were
saved.
ORIGIN OK THE FIRE.
The fire had its origin in a fur
nace in the southwest corner of the
basement, and when discovered the
floor above the furnace was ablaze
and volumes of smoke were rapidly
pouring through the stairways and
corridors and halls of the building.
J By the time the sleepers were thor
oughly aroused the smoke had be
come suffocating and all avenues of
escape were filled with blinding
smoke, then a panic ensued, and
it is for the imagination to paint the
sorrowlul and heartrending picture.
With almost unparalelled extremity,
the cold necessarily retarded the
work of the firemen, and even if they
could have reached the scene with
out delay they could have been of
little service in rescuing the victims.
There are no laddeis in the depart
ment and no provision for the de
plorable emergency had been made
by the managers of the institution
The unfortuuate inmates were there
fore powerless to relieve themselves
and those who were witnesses to the
horrible holocaust, were powerless
to assist them. Willing hands and
anxious hearts were ready to use all
means for the rescue, but alas, the
means were uot equal to the emer
gency. Mary Jerome, the Sister
superior, wlw is among the killed,
was born and raised in Pittsburg.
She was a Miss Heyl.
TWENTY-SEVEN VICTIMS.
The loss of life is greater than
mentioned in last night's dispatch.
Instead ef beingtwo, the total know n
deaths is twenty-seven, twenty-two
oi whom are pupils and five are Sis
ters, among the latter the Sister Su
perior.
The bodies could only be identi
fied by the clothing, er rather a por
tion of the ir clothes, which had been
saturated with water and had escap
ed the flames.
All that now remains of the fa
mous Convent is the oharred and
broken walls, and in the debris there
yet remains the bodies of several of
the unfortunate victims. The build
ing and furnishings were valued
from $G0,0U0 to 75,000. Insured for
623,000.

RAILKOAD SLAUGHTER.
A Collision en the Grand Trunk Kail
way. Toronto, January 2. One of the
moat frightful railway accidents that
ever occurred in Canada, took place
this morning at five minutes to 7
o'clock. About fifteen minutes pre
vious a suburban train, consisting of
a dummy engiue and two cars, on
the Great Western Division of the
Grand Trunk Rail way left the L nion
Station, having on board about GO
passengers, chiefly employes in the
bolt and iron woiksat Huiober, who
resided in this city, and who were
going to their work. They were all
in the best of humor, and, although
the weather was pierci og cold, the
gale blowing the snow against the
car windows, the merry crowd did
not heed it as they told of how they
had spent New Year's day Upon
rounding a sharp curve, just before
reaching the bolt works, iLe engin
eer saw a freight traiii thundering
down grade towsrd him. He revers
ed his engine, shrieked out a warn
ing, and, along with his fireman,
jumped for his life.
The conductor heard the warning,
and crying out 'Jump, boys, for your
lives !' sprang into the snow. In a
second more thtre was a terrific crash.
The engine of the freight train
knocked the boiler off th dummy
clean through the firt car, crushing
the unfortunate passengers in every
direction and pinning many of them
to the floor. The impetus was so
great that the engine actually
mounted the truck of the dummy,
which kept to the rails and remain
ed on a balance.
The engineer of the freight train,
when he saw that a collision was in
evitable, sprang from his engine,
but Thomas, the fireman, was in
stantly killed. To add to the horror
of the scene the boiler of the dummy
exploded, and the escaping steam
and boiling water scalded add car
ried death or terrible injuries to the
mangled and bleeding men. Then
lire broke out and completed the
work of destruction. Shrieks, groans
and heartrending cries for help from
the agonized sufferers rent the air.
Several poor fellows suffering un
told agonies, with their limbs and
bodies burnt to a crisp, piteously
implored those near them to pour
water upon their scalded limbs, or to
put an end to their sufferings. Strong
men looked on appalled, and many
an eye was dim with tears. Every
possible phase of disfigurement was
to be seen limbs cut, mangled and
bruised, half eaten away by fire or
swollen to an enormous size by the
action of steam and water.
N'i more awful scene could be
witnessed nor was any possible hor-
ror Lift to the imagination. I tie first
passenger car was a terrible wreck.
and teveral hours elapsed before the
poor ieM
' .v.i-.. ,nr ...i i .... , . ... ,i..
bris
could be extricated
A relief
party of thirty or forty men was sent
to the scene and at once slowly and
tenderiy set to work to rescue the
sufferers, and at about teu o'clock a
car loi:d of the dead and injured was
on the way to the city. Oa arriving
at the Union Station an ambulance
wagon and several cabs and busses
wer in waiting.
A large crowd had gathered, and
as one alter another of the dead and
wounded was carried from the car to
! the conveyances many turned sick
at the sight, while others brushed
away the falling tears. 1 he wounded
men bore their sufferings with forti
tude and patience, a few groans be
ing the only indication of their in
tense agony.
The scene at the morgue beggars
description. Fifteen bodies lay side
by side in two rows on opposite sides
of the room. Mothers, fathers,sisters
and brothers were to he seen passing
from body to body and witli tremb
ling hands lifting the coverlet to
gaze on the faces of the dead. Now
and asain a cry of anguish was heard,
which told too plainly of the discov
ery of some dear one carried off in
the prime of manhood. The hospital
from an early hour was crowded
with relatives and friends of the
wounded. On the arrival of the
wounded the full hospital staff im-
mediately proceeded to undress
them while the doctors set to work
sowing up the wounds and dressing
those who wtre terribly scalded.
Some of the latter were burned from
head to foot by the steam.
Coroner Lind impaneled a jury,
which at mice met and viewed the
bodies and then adjourned until 2
o'clock, when they again met and
some evidence was taken, and a fur
ther adjournment was had until
Tuesday night.
One of tin victims, John Rowlett,
died shortly after arriving at the
hospital. When found anion:: the
debris hespokecheerfully and asked
to be allowed to walk. On looking
down he cried :
"Oh, God! my legs are off." And
so they were, burned off.
Barber, conductor of the freight
train, was immediately placed under
arrest. He admitted that he col
orders at Hamilton to run to Queen's
Wharf, Toronto, avoiding all regular
trains. lie looked at the time table
but forgot that the buluirban train
was on the list of regular traius, and
hence the accident.
Public sympathy was thoroughly
aroused for the unfortunate widows
and children, and already subscrip
tion lista have been started and of
fers of entertainments made to pro
vide funds for their aid. The fami
lies of several of the men
killed are in poor circumstances and
could ill afford to lo.se their bread
winners.

A River uisaster.
Pittsburg. January 2. Shortly
after midnight the two boats J. N.
Bunton and John T. Case left the
city with tows for the lower ports.
Their progress was slow owing to the
ico and strong current When Da
vis Island wad reached the boats lost
control of the tows, and swung
against the south pier. Three of the
coal boats sank at once, and the Case
drifted to the head of Nevile Island,
where she lodged.
The Bunton was not so fortunate.
The shock of the collision threw the
fire from under her boilers, and in
two minutes she was burning in a
dozen places and a scene of the ut
most confusion followed. The crew
numbering twenty men, became pan
ic stricken, and several jumped
overboard. Midway between the
dam and Neville Island the boat
careened and went down in shallow
water. The Case, not having been
injured, put out a yawl and succeed
ed in picking up sixteen of the Bun
ton's crew. Shortly afterward the
body of Engineer Underwood was
licked up. There are three men
still missing. Their names are Frank
Young and Alois Beyington deck
hands, and Guutavus Attenhauff,
cook. They are all young and un
married. Engineer Underwood
leaves a wife and five children.
The steamer Bunton is a total loss.
She was owned by Walton & Co., of
tliN ciy. and was valued at $25,000.
The loaded coal boats which sunk
were yalued at $25,000.
The accident is attributed to the
neglect to have the Govemmentt-ig-nals
lighted. Signals are required to
be on he lock wall and dam. It
this precaution had not been neglec
ted the pilots would have had no
difficulty in holding thei'' tow
between the lights.
Snow Hound Slock Train.
Chicago, January 4. Eleven
miles southwest of the stock yards
on the wabash road stands a ttock
train with twenty cars of famishing
freezing live stock. The train was
snowed under and stalled on Tues
day night, since which time it is be
i lieved the animals have been with
oui ioou arid water. A rescuing
i party drove within three miles of
I the belated train, then abandoned
their sledges and walked the remain
1 der. Although several engines have
! been sent town the train could not
be reached. The parly has returned
several of whom were badly frost
1 bitten. The rescuing party succeed
ied in reaching the snow bound train
late this afternoon. Of the twenty
; cars of live stock all were cattle save
two or three cars d hogs. Some of
(;:,tt'e
he cattle were found frozen. Oth
ers were nartlv frozen and immedi-
itelv killeJ. The exact number
j thlH V not ascertained. The
remainder oi mo came were n-i :un
j C:irt'd f"" by the railroad company,
who are niakincr every ettort to
bring them through. Another large
force of men were sent out to day
and offered fifty cents an hour.
Arriving near the train they refused
to go to work. They could" not see
ten paces ahead for the immense
drifts of snow, and returned nearly
frozen. The hogs are not suffering
badly as there happened to be a car
of com next to them which the com
pany used. They will bringthe train
into the yards tomorrow. Extraor
dinary efforts to this end will be
made.
A Hunters Tale.
Lowell, Mass., January 5. Ar
thur Ijfgrand Stafford, who claimed
to be a natural son of a distinguish
ed English Earl, landed in Xew Yoik
from an Inman steamer during the
latter part of Xovember last. At
the ftt. .Menoias Hotel he met a
sporting Southerner named Schwartz
and they decided t go to Like
I'amadumcook. in Maine, hunting
and fishing. On the way they stop
ped at Hangor, Me., where Stafford
made the acpi lintance of a Mis
iirace, oi ew lorK. 1 hey became
sincerely attached to each other, and
when Stafford left for the wood
i they had plighted trotn.
On the
Stafford
afternoon of December 31
left the camp with his rifle for a
stroll. Shortly after a severe storm
set in, and Stafford did not return.
Schwartz and the guide went to find
him, but were thn unsuccessful.
Early in the morning of New Years
Day, about three miles from camp,
they found Stafford in the firm em
braced of a she bear, both frozen
stiff. A knife was sticking in the
left fore shoulder of the bear. A
short distance away a half grown cub
with a knife wound in its heart,
was discovered. The guide said
Stafford had attacked the cub first,
and waa then set unon by the she
bear. Schwartz went t Bangor and
told his fate to Miss Grace. The
poor girl lost her reason, and will be
sent to an insane asylum tomorrow.

The latest , hikj Idea.
Washinceox, Jan. li.-IIon. Jere
Murphy, of iowa. will to-morrow
offer a resolution defending the pow
ers and st.itu.-i of Congress on the
alchoholic liquor tariff.
The resolution is to the effect that
the liquor traffic belongs to munici
pal or loaal government and does
not fall within the scope of powers
inherent in the Federal Government
by virtue of the Constitution : that
Congress can only deal with the
subject, say to lay and collect reve
nues, and that any attempt atsumD-
tuary legislation by Congress s in
the nature of an infringement on the
personal liberty of the citizen.
The Judge says he intends to put
members on record on this subject
before the thing is over, and thinks
the Committee on the Alcoholic Li
quor Trafic will report the resolution
t the House. If so the O;iiodl- !
gation will have a chance to explain !
the result of the late election in I
that State.
