"My brethren," said an Arkansas minister, "the preaching of the gospel to some people is like pouring water over a sponger-it soaks in and stays. To others it Is like the wind blowing through a chicken coop. My experience of this congrega tion Is that it contains more chicken coops than sponges." The clam-eyed Celestials who are now In this country consider washing the highest grade of civilization, as it pays. People who are nuzzled with laree fleures can assist themselves by remembering that a billion is simpiy a muiion wiin a com in us neaa.

The Alliance by Which compIUhed and tlte ft Was Ac lTlanner In Which it Was Done Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. THE MAHONE-CONKLING ALLIANCE. Washington, March 18. On this day two years ago the Forty-sixth Con gress convened in extra session. The ISenate met with a clear Democratic majority of eight, and including the vote of Judge Davis, of Illinois, with a majority of ten. According to all or dinary calculations it was considered as next to impossible under any cir cumstances that this majority could be reversed within a less time than four years. To-day the sceptre was wrested from the Democratic party in the Sen ate after its brief period of power. It was surrendered without a struggle, and it was perhaps best that it should be so. The Republicans won their vic tory not through the voice of the peo plenot, as Senator Cpnkling disin genuously and untruthfully put it, as the fruition of the results of the November election but by means of a bargain made with a Senator elected very nearly a year before the Novem ber election, and who, as no one would have the temerity to dispute, could not have been elected had there been the least suspicion that be would do as he has done. No amount of rr it can ob secure the fact that the Republicans to-da7 obtained possession of the com mittee organization of the Senate through means which cannot stand the test of honest and impartial scrutiny. The American people will find it rather difficult to perceive how a "free ballot and a fair count" in the South, or in any other pait of the country, for that matter, is to be secured because a Dem ocratic Senator choses to give his vote to put into the control of the power and patronage of the body of which he is a member the political opponents of the party to which he has been attached. And the honest Republican masses can scarcely consider that the possession of committee chairmanships and a few offices in the Senate is any equivalent for an alliance by their party leaders with the embodiment and personifica tion of an element which, however much it may rave and foam over politi cal and economical abstractions, does not believe in or advocate an "honest count" on the great practical question of fair and honestly incurred obliga tions. It will take only a comparative ly short time before the transactions of which the first results culminated to day are thoroughly understood and ap preciated by the people of the country, and it admits of no question that the seal of condemnation will be placed upon them at the first opportunity. THE SCEPTRE TRANSFERRED. There was in the Senate chamber to day an overflowing crowd to witness the completion of ihe first act. Mr. Frye was sworn in, Lis credentials hav ing arrived this morning, and the Re publican side of the chamber was then enabled to muster its strength. The Democrats had resolved to make no.op position to the carrying-out of the Re-publican-Mahone programme. Had they chosen to adopt Republican tac tics they could have defeated the object of the unholy alliance by abstaining from voting and thereby breaking a quorum. But, after the fullest discus sion of the subject, they concluded to interpose no obstacle, and to trust to the judgment of the country. Mr. Pen dleton called up the list of committees, as agreed upon by the Democratic cau cus, when Mr. Anthony, as the organ of the Republican caucus, moved to post pone it indefinitely. The roll was called amid breathless anxiety and suspense. Thete were but two Senators out of the whole seventy-six absent Judge Ed munds and Mr. Camden of West. Vir ginia. : Gen. Mahone, when his name was called, -voted "No," which was tha cause of much excitement, and, for a moment only, a thought was engender ed that he had concluded to turn back from the path upon which he had -entered. . This was quickly dispelled, for as soon as his attention was called to his vote by his assiduous Republican friends and advisers he rose and chang ed his vote to the affirmative, remark ing that he had voted "No" under a misapprehension as to the purport of the pending question. On the motion of Mr. Anthony there were U7 yeas and 37 nays. : The Vice-President held the taliy-4istin 1 his and for moment, while the Senate and the galleries look ed at him in mjcietv xand the deepest silence. He then declared his own vote in the affirmati ves and was BbosVto de-J ciare me -nnat ;resu, yraer senator sanisoury arose, .hot -to wterposei anyi opposition to tne c&ciarauon? w$ mere-, Jy to'putfiimself on-, record tfotK iinjr, me ngni or ine y ice , reawea mi vote under "the.... circiimstanees. iMr. interrupted-'Mrr BaoMnrry, and ma loud voice, loofctoff olreettr at the Vice President, cried Announce the vote." The Vice president aid. as he was bidden,, and ! the Republican com mittees were fastened upon the Senate by the exercise of his doubtful power. It is true that when the question was raised in former times as to the autho rity of the Vlee'President to vote on the election of officers, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Clay and others expressed an affirm ative view, but this was only- their in dividual opinion, and there never has been any formal expression of the Sen ate on the subject. Had Mrv English to-day been in the chair of the vice President, instead of Mr. Arthnr, there would most unquestionably have been objection raised on the Republican side against his voting, and the objection would have been strenuously main tained to the last extremity. At least one-half of the Democratic Senators are convinced that the Vice-President has not the right to vote on the organiza tion of the Senate, yet they let it go. Mr. Saulsbury briefly, but very perti nently, contrasted the conduct of the two sides of. the chamber under similar circumstances . the Republicans, wheri the Democrats were in possession.of a constitutional majority, positively, re fusing to permit the transaction of any business, and compelling an adjourn ment from day to day, and the Demo crats making no opposition when the Republicans had a bare majority of one, secured after, all the bareainintr which has been going on, only through what uiauj ucneve 10 oe me unconstitutional, vote of the Vice-President Mr. Conk- hng, however, was in such high glee ana so exultant over what nad been done that he was more insolent and arrogant than ever, and could scarcely tolerate the least interruption. There were several yea-and-nay votes before the end was reached, and it occupied exactly one hour. After this the Sen ate went into executive session, and then adjourned until Monday. It is un derstood that at the opening of Mon day's session the Republicans and Mr. Mahone will submit their list of caucus nominees for elective offices of the Sen ate. There seems to be an impression that the Democrats will resort to dila tory tactics to prevent the displace ment of the present officers, but, viewed in the light of experience, the opposi tion is not likely to amount to much. The Republicans may be prevented from electing their officers for a day or two, but they have no doubt whatever of success. ELECTRIC RAILROAD SIGNALS. The Penneylvania Railroad Experi menting With a Novel Invention. Altoona (Pa.) Sun. At present the Pennsylvania Rail road is experimenting with electric sig nals on their line. Eight electric signals have been placed on the eastern slope of the mountain division at intervals of two miles and a-half, connecting all the blocks in that section of the road between Altoona and Gallitzin. The invention thus to be tested is owned by a Boston firm, and so far it has worked admirably. The block signals require no attendence butligbing up the lamps. The ends of the roll opposite each block are insulated, and a circuit is thus formed running along both rails of the track, e?st and west, but detach ed by the insertion of a web between the joints at the insulating place, so that this circuit is complete between each set of blocks, tte signals of which the electricity moves. When the wheels of an engine or car run inside of, say the block at the east end of a tunnel, the red light or "ban ner" is automatically set, thus notify ing any trains following that the next signaling place is not clear. The cut of the circuit by the wheels sets this signal.but the moment they the cross in sulating point at the next one the cur rent of electricity is restored, and the white disc takes the place of the red on the very instant, thus showing that the track for two or two and a-half miles is certainly clear. Should a rail break between any two signal stations, the interruption to the circuit will cause the green signal to be shown in each of the towers connected, and the train men thus notified to proceed, with cau tion. A "tell-tale" wire is run on the telegraph posts to the several telegraph towers, and this is arranged to operate by electricity a miniature block in each, just as the insulated rails work the large ones.
