New York Times, Ind. Repi. Wasuixgton, December 15. It will tut do for the friends of tariff ' reform to expect too much from the Fiftieth Congress because President Cleveland baa eent to that body a stroug tariff reform message and be cause Secretary Fairchild has supple mented that message with a report abundantly demonstrating the neces sity for heeding the President's ad- vice'. If tbo President could legislate for the Democratic party as jwell as set it an example of sense and bravery all would be well. ' As he cannot do everything, and as bis party has be come accustomed to doing little or nothing in Congress, it begins to look to sjtne of the men who hoped for - better things as if the chances for early and vigorous action and favor able legislation are small. - To not a a few prominent Democrats the ten dency of things at the Capitol is de cidedly discouraging. The Presi-: dent's message undoubtedly shocked those -feeble Democrats who have been for "years trying to make oat whether they are protectionists or lo;v tariff men, at the same time that it gratified the maj rity who are for a redaction of tariif taxes. The clear sighted ones accepted the load chal leuge of the Blaine men, beard as boo u as Mr. Blaine bad made his transatlantic bid for the nomination in 1S88. They were anxious that the first movements in the great con test should be made with boldness, with a courage like that manifested by the President himself in his mes sage. Instead of boldness,1 the first trait manifested was of weakness and fear. The President's message had scarcely been read before a report was heard that Mr. Randall was to be con sulted as to how far he woald permit, legislation to go in the direction in dicated by the message. ' Bolder than his low tariff friends, more zealous for the interests which keep him in Congress, Mr. Randall publicly an nounced that the President's advice must -be disregarded and that the Rifidall programme mast be prefer red to it. All suggestions that Mr. Rut Jail ehonld be deprived of power to reverse or modify the suggestions of the President were hashed down. Tho Democrats, or a large majority of them, feared a fight, not consider ing for a moment the possibility that Randall, shorn of power, would be no longer an obstacle to tariff legis lation or any other legislation. Tbo lont'-r the -low-tariff men have hesi tated the weaker they have seemed to become. Now they bear with dis gust that fear of Mr, Randall has led Speaker Carlisle to ask him kindly to name a member for the Ways and Means Committee, the committee that is to prepare the legislative re ply to the President's argent request tor a tariff redaction but.

To sus tain a charge of perjury there must be material and tend to prevent right. Where the defendant: is charged with nerlrirv in that he swore that he forbade certain trespassers to enter the premises, whereas some of them had entered the field before he reach ed the spot ana ioroaae mem. Tiaid. That it was a fresh ageres- sion for the trespassers to pass with a strong hand beyond tne point at which they were when forbidden to enter, and whether a majority or all were in the field was immaterial. The testimony showing that the defend ant was present . and did forbid the act of the trespassers, it was error to so charsre the inrv as to limit their consideration to the question whether he forbade the; entry before any, had .gotten into the neia or not. ; iiorton vs. Sleaze. Where there is a demand 'for spe cific performance and the defendant sets up that the contract was I re scinded and that plaintiff files a re plication that! the agreement to re scind embodied a further agreement to pay for tbe iimprovements erected which payment had not been made and judgment is demanded; for that sii'u and to this a demurrer is filed as a departure: II ! Held, that the demurrer cannot be sustained, for the replication strikes directly at the; defence and renders it ineffectual as an obstruction to the remedy. t - , . j McO&eken Va. Adler. i Held, that where a judgment debtor is entitled to have his homestead laid off and the sheriff sells his home tract without laying off his homestead as required by law, the sale is a nullity and the snenrrs deed is void.; Mp.fimder vs. Shelton. 1 Held, That an affidavit is sufficient to siinnort aaDnlemental proceedings when it states, that execution on a judgment against the defendant has been returned unsatisfied; that there Tint. n.nv onnit&ble estateB in land within the lien of the judgment, and that, affiant believes on information that the defendants have property. ohoses in action or things of value which ought Ito be subjected to the oavment of the judgment. The very purpose of the proceeding is to com pel a disoovery or aeienaanc s prop erty by an examination; and the ex amination should not be ? confined merely to such property as the plain tiff might be able to specify in hit affidavit. .Powell vs. Morrisey. Held, that : the inriadiotion of courts of equity to reform instru ments does not extend to the correc tion of voluntary conveyances unless by consent of all parties. The performance of a moral duty is recognized in equity as a merito rious or imperfect consideration and within narrow limits where a promise based on such a consideration ' has been imperfectly performed, equit will under bertain rules enforce it. But this equity extends only to cases involving the duties of charity, of pavmsr creditors or maintaining a wife and children or persons to whom the promisor stands in loco parentis. Grandchildren are not by nature within this relationship, and al though it may be proved that the grandfather intended to assume tne duty and office of the father in ma king provision for the grandchildren, yet until that fact is proved, it can not be seen by the Court.' In the absence of proof of that fact, the voluntary gift of a grandfather to grandchildren will not be held to in volve the meritorious consideration of equity and the Court oannot cor rect an omission in tne conveyance. State vs. Crowson The defendant was charged with the murder of her four-year-old child bv drowning him in the river in Mitchell county. The testimony of witnesses showed that they pressed her to -tell what she had done with her child, and "finally we told her that she had to tell, and the deputy sheriff told her if she would take him to the place where she last had the ohild. he would tell with a crooked stick what she had done with it, and "we told her to oome out and tell the trnth about it and confess it all;"' "it would be best for her to tell." She' carried the deputy sheriff to the river and became very muoh agitated, and said "if anybody want ed their negroes drowned, bring them to her." Held, This conduct and this re mark were; in the nature of a confes sion, and were responsive to the me nace "that she bad to tell." Confessions to be admissible must be voluntary and not obtained by tbe influence of hope or fear, ap plied by a third person to the pris oner's mind. , i The ruling by which the judge undertakes to define the inflaence that should exclude a confession, if "erroneous, is the subject of review; but tbe finding of the court that in fluence was or was not exercised in any particular case is tbe finding of a fact and is not saoiect to review, From the record in this case the reception of the testimony may ad mit of two interpretations; one pre supposes a ruling that the confession did not come from the influence brought to bear upon the prisoner; the other, that the evidence was re ceived without any determination of the preliminary question In a matter involving human life the court will take the latter view and consider that this duty of the Judge was 'overlooked. He, might have ruled oat tbe confession so damacinsr to the prisoner. There mast be a new trial. Soprcme Conn. Raleigh News-Observer, Cnnr. mat nr. 11 vflsterdav morning.

Tbe Blair Kdacatloni mil Rllla Introduced by Senators Ransom and Vane. -. .if. - .it Teieirraph to the Hornlnc Star.! WASHIKGTOH. Dec 19 The Blair Edu cational bill reported to the Senate to-day received the unanimous endorsement of the Committee oa Education, and contains but one slight change from the bill as it passed the Senate last cession. It provides for a total appropriation of, $79,000,000, to be expended in eight years. The report ac companying the bill, among other things, says: "Although the committee believe that no measure of greater, if there be any of equal importance, will engage the atten tion of the Senate, they have not deemed it necessary to enter upon a general discus sion of the Bill or to enlarge upon the seri ous nature of the public emergency which r. quires its enactment. The measure was devised and has been pressed to secure a removal of alarminc and in creasing illiteracy, and its baneful con- sequenes, and not as a means of expending surplus revenues, although their existence removes all excuse for failure to pass it. The bill was proposed before the large sur plus existed. It should become a law. even ir additional taxation were necessary. Illiteracv irrows with the coun try and keeps ; full pace with its increase in population.! Increase of population adds continually to the number who require at tention, while the means of education are nol and cannot, and therefore will not, be provided without temporary assistance from the funds of the nation. The tem porary aid proposed in the bill should have been given at once upon tbe close of tbe war. To bestow it now is but to provide a long deferred obligation, the ' neglect of which has already greatly enhanced the grave perils to the nation. " Who,"it asks. "shall estimate the evil consequences which will bef ali us from a Continuance of that low and unfortunate motherhood which, under the influence of illiteracy and igno rance is now bearing one-fourth ol tbe children of the Republic ? If there can be no icntiment or patriotism which can stir us to action, the instinct of self-preservation, which confers a certain degree of.wis dom upon even brutes, ought not longer to be outraged by our suicidal delay.

All of tbe members but Senator Evarts, who is out of town, were present. The nomination , of Mr. Lamar was taken 4ip and his political record was discussed.

Affairs, to-day reported ad versely tbe bill introduced by Mr. Call, to provide for the survey and .estimate Tor a railroad from the main land to Key West, Fia., and for a canal connecting the same with BC John's river. Assistant! Secretary Thompson has re ceived the report of the Board, of which Lieut. Commander Casey, of tbe United States Navy, was chairman, appointed to investigate the charges or neglect or duty, misappropriation of government property, and of offensive partisanship preferred by H. L. Worthinglon, .Philip Morruett, and others of Norfolk, against M. L. Odell, keeper of Cape Henry Light 8tation. The reDort savs that the investigation was as fair, impartial and as tnorouBn as it was possible to make it, considerable lati tiir! heins criven to oomDlainaota in tbe matter of i the testimony, in order that there miffbt be no grounds of complaint. The conplusions of tbe board were that the charges preferred by Morrisett were part of a scheme to oust Odell in order to secure the place himaeu: mat uaeu naa not been derelict in tbe discharge of his duties, but on the contrary was a good and efficient officer: that the object of Worth ing ton in attempting to secure tne removal of Odell was not on account of inefficiency. but in order to strengthen the political party of which he ( Worthington) is a mem ber . ( ! j ' The testimony introduced to prove that Odell was extremely offensive and ob noxious as a Republican partisan was, that in 1835 he bad taken part in the Conven tion which nominated John 8- Wise for Governor of Virginia, and that he bad acted as judge of election in the same year, The board reports tnattnese acts occurrea prior to the President's order of July 14th, 1880. in regard to official interference in political movements, and that since then Odell has not taken the slightest interest in politics. The board therefore recommends the dismissal or tne cnarges ana mat no further action be taken in the matter so far aa Odell is concerned.

There is no considerable politically organized body of influential persons in oithar nntintrv with whom a combination could be made, if such combination or co operation were desirable on the part of a similar body in the United States, for pro moting any definite or practicable measure of legislation to bring about the adoption of a bl-metallie theory according to tbe cotjimonly accepted meaning of that term The discussion la as yet almost wholly per sonal and witnoui concentration ol purpose on the presentation of any well devised measure capable of being acted upon. Mr. Atkinson a most important conclu sion from his observation, is, that it would be unwise and inexpedient for the United states again to take the initiative in pro moting action for a general adoption of a bi-metallio legal tender coupled with free coinage of silver, tpr the reason that such' action is misconstrued and may tend to re tard, rather than to promote, the object aimed at. ; Secretary Fairchild issued an order to day for the closing of all custom houses on the 25th inst. , and the 2d proximo. He also ordered the closing of the Treasury Department at noon oa ' the 24tn and 81st insts. A similar order has been issued with regard to the navy yards.

He announced: for a Passover Feast, at the bouse of two negro women in the outskirts of the city .this morning, and told them that a sacrifice was necessary. Frances Driver said she was uling to offer herself as a sacrifice, and laid her head on a table. Jordon thereupon took a sword and struck her several blows on the neck and stabbed her a number of times, killing her instantly. The body was then dragged out into tbe street by two other colored women. A white woman witnessed the affair and gave an alarm. Police officer Payne, after a terrible struz gle, succeeded in overpowering Jordan, and with the aid of several otner omcers, con veyed him to the city prison. Two negro men, who were present at tne feast, nave also been arrested. The negroes are greatly excited over the murder, and there are threats of lynching. but the' police have a strong guard at the city prison and say that they will be able to prevent mob violence.

Infant a x months old was attacked with a vlru lent, malignant akin disease. All ordinary reme dies falllDc, we called oar family phyalolan, who attempted to cure It; bat it spread with aimost incredible rapidity, until the lower portion of the little fellow's person, from the middle of his baok down tohla knees, was one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotohed, and malicious. We had no rest at night, no peaoe by day. Finally, we were advised to try the cunonaa Bbiudixs. The ef fect was simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a complete cure was wrougiit, leaving too little fellow's person as white and healthy as though he had never been attacked.
