Tlicse prophesies have been fulfilled literally. I'eople ofi.li ask, " Why is it that Coiifrre awomplishes s.1 little?" The disagreement in the IKiiHa-ratic family have, of course. Iieiii the chjj-f source of tla-tniuhle of late.

Itut asi.h- from this, then- are other reason w hy roinnvs ao-impli-hcd so little work.

More hills have been iiitnaluecd in Omjrrcss during the present ss.sion than were ever intnaluctal duriiur both K-ssitiiis of any other Contrress. and more hills have passed this session than ever la-fore in one session, hut most of them have la-en of a private eharai-t.-r. None of the important public measures have become laws. The Educational hill, the llunkniptcy hiil. the increase of the Navy, the Tariff, the silver question, the Mormon .jueslion, Oleo margarine, and several other stu b matters are waiting for final action and are likely to wait. They cannot la- considered this ses sion, and as for next session, thi-rv is an Utile of it that w hat could not la? accomplished ill eif.'ht months, is not likely tola.- couias.cd in throe. As the Kiver and Ilarlair hill approaches a Vote ill the Senate considerable interest is manifested in its fate. Senator Millerof New York favored the hill as it mine from the House. He did not think the surplus mon ey in the Treasury could la- la.-tter used than in the manner proad in this hill, t 'on trrcs was not aoiii): to increase the Army or Navy or to make larfH- exa-nditiin-s for coast dclcnai-i. The money appropriated in this hiil would la-paiil for lalair wonld lie put into circulation. He mentioned the threat of an Kxeciitive veto if the hill swelled la yond a ivnaiu iint. Mr. Miller did not care to discuss that danger. He was hereto do his duty as he undcrst.aal it. CmijiresK had laen iu session over seven months and had done nothing to start afresh the wheels of commerce, to set iu motion the mills that wi re now standing idle.

The ad ministration is la-st on making a great sen sational show of reform, though of cotirs nothing is cxia-cted to come of th.sa new le imrtures. The new rulers have various new ineth.als of a-ra-t rating fraud, and many dark ways that are gradually coining to light. The lU-piiblicau tiovcrnincnt eiriployes here are losing their places rapidly enough now to satisfy the most rampant lcma-rats. Thirty were dismissed from the Patent otllee y-stcnlay, one liundre.1 are to go from the Treasurj-, and the Commissioner of Pensions is doing the la-st he knows how for the saiilsmeii.

A freshet had swejit away the trestle work over Jemiing aon'n Run. near Corrigansville, la-yimd Cum-Ix-rlaiid, leaving nothing hut the timbers, ties, and mils, white twenty feet below rush ed a mad torrent. The train consisted of a baggage ear, two coaches, and a kt-a-r. Aa the train s-d nearer and nearer to the (aiint of danger the engineer saw a light wildly waring aliend. A second glance showed him that it was a danger signal, aud putting his hand to the throttle and reversing the lever he skipped iu the nick of time. Sle ping down from the engine he was i-onfnin-ted hy a man who had a lantern in his hand, w ho told him of the terrible disaster he had escajasl. The man who had been instrumental in averting the disaster was Edward Newman, who two weeks ago was iu the employ of the Kaltimore and Ohio Company, hut who for some cause was disclutrgcd. He was awakened siam after midnight hy the wa ter K.uring into his house from the torrents w -Inch fan down the hillsides. After turning the rivulet in another direction he lar came alarmed for the saety of his cows, which had strayed away, and he started to look for them. He found the death trap, and, forgetting all about his cows, waited a full hour and a half in a drenching rain, with the thunder roaring and the lightning flashing around him. A ilisjiatch was sent to this city for another train, and the (usscugcrs knew nothing of the danger they had e.aia.il until aroused from their slum-la-rs hy the trainmen and told that they must pn-iare to la- transfem-d to another train. The train which should have reach el Pittsburgh at (ij a. m., was delayed four hours. The railroad coin)iany will doubt less kimllv remember the hem iu the case.

The latest n-jairts re wived last night represented that a state of grave alarm exists, and that a conflict will (ax-ur between the tiovemnient forces and the n-volutionisls, who it is said, have been arming for some time in the State of Tamau liuui, hut the object of their movement has la-en kcit a profound seen-t.
