Edison took out only ten patents la3t week on electrical contrivances. Tbe greatest distress, from famine, since 1847, now exists in the county Mayo, Ireland. Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who is in ill health, has gone to South Carolina to recuperate. . Tom Ochiltree, the Texas Congress man gets mad when any one asks him about holding back his salary. The most important proceedings of the legislature will be found referred to in par Raleigh letter. The only seat in the new Senate to be filled is that of Senator Rollins, of New Hampshire. His successor will not be elected nntil June. While so many aspiring gentlemen have reputations to make as brilliant statesmen, a sixty days session of the Legislature is hardly sufficient. It is said that Judge Cloud left an es tate worth $30,000, and that the greater' portion of it was willed to Miss Mamie the second daughter of Judge Settle. For a man of good hard, practical, everyday common sense, the venerable editor of the Milton Chronicle, Cas well's Senator, stands conspicuously in the fore front. In paying out $700 in wages to his workmen a manufacturer at Marseilles, 111, private marked all the bills. With in two weeks $342 of it was deposited in the local bank by saloon keepers. Here is the Philadelphia Press ticket: For President: George F Edmond?, of Vermont. For Vice-President: Benjamin Har ris, of Iniana, The Philadelphia Press says that Col Ingersoll, counsel for the Star Routers, learns nothing by experience, and pro poses to make the case last for the next two months. May be he.like Bliss, is paid $150 a day. Tabor, of Colorado, was a senator for six weeks and his expenses during that period, he says, were more than $10,000. He did'nt dip very deep into statesman ship, but it's generally conceded that he had a great deal of fun. i i i Philadelphia Record: When we re flect that out of 10,670 bills and joint resolutions introduced during the late session of Congress only 163 passed both Houses, have we not reason to rejoice that the Lord is still good to his people ? A New York Republican paper re marks that "if all the prisons in the country could be thrown open, and the released convicts allowed to vote, the next President might be a Democrat." I all the Republicans were in prison who ought to be, tbe next President certainly would be a Democrat. The Greenville, S. C, News, is poking fun at the railroad commission, which was organized three months ago but has yet done nothing. It compares it to Mark Twain's loaded frog, which was always on the point of jumping but never did, on account of the cargo of shot within. The shot in the case of the commission is "caution." The late George W. Swepsonwasa native of Mecklenburg county, Va., where he was born June 23d, 1819. His father was of Scotch descent, but died, before his son attained his majority The death of his father interfered with his plans of education and in 1840 he moved to Caswell county, in this State, and in 1842 married Miss Virginia youngest daughter of Hon. Bartlett Yancey, of Yancey ville, in that county. They had no children. Statistics show that the growth of the Roman Catholic Church in English speaking countries is constantly on the increase. The number of Catholics in the British Empire and the United States is 16,000,000 souls, with 195 bish ops, 15,000 priests and 13,000 churches. In Great Britain, exclusive of Ireland, the Roman Catholic statistics for the years 1840 and 1880 compare as follows : , Churches, 522 in 1840 to 1,461 in 1880; collegesand schools, 40 to 514; clergy,; 614 to 2,282; laity, 539,500 to 1,384,000. At present the Roman Catholic popula tion in Great Britain have one church; or convent to every 45 square miles, asi compared with 162 square miles in 1840. AN ISSUE THAT JIUST BE MADE. Abfam S. Hewitt, member of Con gress If rom the city of New York, is one among the largest iron manufac turers in the country, and was and is now opposed to the tariff bill passed by the last Congress, for the reason that while it is oppressive on the people it is also destructive of the very interests which jt is intended to protect. In reply recently to an inquiry by a representa tive; of the New York Herald as to the effect of the law he said: "The legis lation will fail of its intended effect, for the reason that the industries of this country are suffering, not from foreign competition but from the do mestic competition arising out of the protection we have had for the last twenty years. The result of this long period of protection is an excess of pro duction at home, for which no market can be found, because we have no ac cess to foreign markets as other nations' who have free raw materials. The resolt of this pernicious system is that failures in every branch of business have already begun, and theywill pro ceed with accelerated rapidity until the weaker concerns, which cannot compete with their stronger neighbors, will be driven to the wall. The only sensible and possible relief that could have been extended to the manufac turers would have been to free raw materials from destructive duties, so that goods might be produced at a low- price, and thus find a wider market at home, and abroad. Thus the issue is at last fairly raised between true revenue reform, which will remove impedi ments to the cheap production of man ufactured articles, and protection for the sake of protection, which first pro duces dear goods and finally brings ruin on their producers. I think the passage of this bill makes the funda mental issue between revenue and un proteciive protection so clear that the organization of the next House will be determined by it and by it alone." He took thi3 position when the bill was under discussion in Congress, and though prevented by illness from being in his seat he urged its defeat, and ex pressed his view3 in letters to his col leagues. As to its probable effect on the elec tion of the next Speaker he expressed the following opinion : "I do not think that any man can be or ought to be elected Speaker of the next House who advocated and voted for this conference tariff. The organi zation of tbe next House must be in the bands of the revenue reformers if the Democratic party is in earnest in this business, and if it is not in earnest it had better dissolve in the same general chaos which has overtaken the Repub lican party. By revenue reform, let it be distinctly understood, I do not mean free trade, for which we are not yet prepared, but I do mean the freeing of Baw materials from duty, which can be done without injury to any existing interest, and the reduction of all taxes which enable favored industiies to prey on the rest of the community when the demand happens to exceed domestic supply. So far as I know the revenue reformers will be very conservative, and they will take care that no existing interest that has a right to live in this country that is to say, which can be "carried on in this country with as little labor ain other countries will be dis turbed or impaired." There is no doubt that this question will decide who shall be the next Speaker of the House, and as little duubt that it will be the leading ques tion in the next campaign. The party lines in fact are drawn upon it now, for throughout the discus sion in both Houses of Congress the Democrats as a body were for as low a tariff as circumstances would permit, while the Republicans, as a body, were ;for high tariff. There were individual exceptions on both sides, where local or present interests were at stake, but'as far as the party record goes the parties took opposite grounds, the Democrats for low, the Republicans for high tariff, and on this record they will go -before the people. Practically speaking other questions that have agitated the country in tbe past have been disposed of, and this has come to the front as the one great question which will overshadow all others. tr Under the new tariff bill the duty on salt stands as at present, twelve cents per one hundred pounds in bags, sacks, etc, and eight cents in bulk. " The salt clause contains the old oaUAgeous pro vision that the New England fish park era can get their salt free, of dotv. while pork and beef packers and other con sumers of the article 1 are to pay the onerous tax. This kind of tariff legis lation directly discriminates in favor of one class of business men who should be taxed like their fellow citizens. The fish packing business is not as impor tant as the beef and pork packing busi ness, but New England insists that her sons shall be subsidized at the country's expense. This heresy must be sooner or later extinguished. Business Fail ares. New York City, NV Y.

The to bacco factories of W..T. Clark, W. F. Patton and L. L Strause, valued at $18, 000, were burned this morning : fully insured. The buildings were tenanted by eight firms, who lost stock and fix tures, value estimated-at $40,000. Insured. Possessed ol a Devil. Philadelphia, March 9. A German servant girl named Catharine Meizgar, in the employ of Samuel May, at No. 2,021 North 7th street, made an attempt this morning to murder her mistress, Mrs Lizzie May, and the latter s child. The servant got up in tbe middle of the night, went to the cellar and procured a hatchet which she had under the bed. At half-past 5 this morning, she arose again and bending over Mrs May, who was sleeping in bed, dealt her several blows on the head with the hatchet. Mra May's cries brought in a policeman who promptly seized Catharine. In the meantime she had thrown a bottle at Mrs May's eight month's old son, Ed gar, who was asleep in a crib beside the bed and fractured his skull. It is be lieved that Mrs May will recover but the infant will die. The girl had come here from Germany 3 months a?o and had only been a week in the employ of the May family. She is only 18 years old and gives no other reason for the murderous assault than that she was prompted for several days to do it. Depositions About "Number One."

Buying iiallion--The Holders of Vir ginia bonds. London, March 9th. -Bullion to the amount of 200,000 pounds was bought yesterday for export to New York. It will be forwarded by Saturday's steam er. The purchase was made in advance in order to guard against the possi bility of a rise in the price of gold eagles at the Bank of England. Twelve thousand pounds have been raised here to defray the cost of repre senting the holders of the Virginia bond3 and vindicating their rights be fore the tribunals in the United States. It is believed that the counsel of for eign bondholders is quite ready to te3t the consequences of the decision of the Supreme Court at Washington, - ren dered on Monday last, in regard to Virginia bonds by a vigorous action through suits against Virginia. The council has ample funds. Only Four, not Forty. Little Rock. Ark;., March 9, Only four, not forty men were engaged in an attempted train robbery Wednesday, not forty as telegraphed. The forty was a telegraphic error en route. ' Alexander H Stephens was a believer in omens. The following is told of him: When he was leaving Washington in 1859 as the steamer was going down the Potomac, he looked back, and, while gazing on the receding dome of the Cap tol, some friends who saw his medita tive mood, approached and said : 'You must be looking up there and thinking of your re-election to Congress?" In reply to this he said: "No I am taking a last look at that dome, for I never ex pect to see it or be in Washington again nntil nntil I come as a prisoner of war." "! The steamer sped down the stream, and soon distance and the shad ows of night had hidden the dome of Capitol from his view. When next he visited Washington, and gazed on that dome, he was indeed, a paroled prison er of war, who had jU3t been released from Fort Warrea, - A delegation of twenty-four Mor moa missionaries arrived at St Louis the other day on their way South to en gage in 'evangelistic'' work. The lea der of the gang, in reply to the enquiry 0 a reporter, stated that it was their intention to go the thirteen South ern States and labor to make converts. They will make their headquarters in Chattanooga, Tenant being their inten tion to take the places of evangelists now at work in the section referred $o, who desire to return to their homes and families. According to the rules .Of the church, evangelists who go, into ltrapge fields to labor are required to serve eighteen months,after which time ' their paces are filled by new recruits. " There aire at present sixty elders in the Southern Stateslwhoj have their head beadquarters rat Chattanooga. There ; are also missionaries in Ohio, Indiana and In otheY Northern States. -, : There is more truth than poetry in this from the Louisville Courier Journal: The shame of American poli tics is the greed for office, fhe remains of Goy Stephens have not yet been in terred, and the dispatches announce that the canvass for the succession has already begun. The aspirants are gath ering at Atlanta, not to do honor to the dead man's memory, but to devise means to succeed to" the position he has left vacant. A few years since a Governor of Kentucky received his first information of the death of an offi cial through a telegram from an appli cant who sought an appointment to the vacancy. Afinese'nss of justice and propriety prompted Kentucky's Chief Magistrate to refuse an appoint ment thus sought, and it might be that Georgia could profit this by exam ple. As Hon. R. G. Frost, of Missouri,was ejected from the House on the last day of the session but one, so that his Re publican competitor might draw the pay of a member for two years, he de livered the following parting shot: "I can congratulate myself on the fact that my exit from this hall will be a matter which will concern the public very little, But you, too, Mr. Speaker, in a few short hours will quit that chair, and your party will quit this floor, and this to the satisfaction of all, not by the decision or a malignant par tisan tribunal which has not heard your case, or pretended to hear it, but by the impartial, well-considered ver diet of the public, which has judged you, sir, and judged your party." Then the House voted, and Mr. Frost was ejected by a strict party vote The Mississippi Flood. Helena, Ark., Feb. 9. The river has been stationary since yesterday with 46 feet 11 inches on the gauge. It was stationary at Madison yesterday and is probably falling to-day. A de cline is confidently expected here by Sunday Work on the levee is still go ing forward.and people of this vicinity now have confidence in their security. The country below is entirely submerg ed, water in many places is pouring over the levee and back into the river. Report from Austin, Clarksdale and Friars Point are of a most discouraging character. Not a single house in any of the places named escaped deluge. Today is clear and calm. An Explosion ofFrozen Dynamite. Pittsbukg, Pa., March 9th. This morning at Fleming's stone quarry, in Deadman's Hollow, near McKeesport, Pa , while Daniel and George Ilenni ger, Noble Gilky and an unknown col ored man.were at work in the quarry, one of them attempted to throw out a can of dynamite, used for blasting pur poses, which had frozen, and an ex plosion ioi owed. Daniel lienmger w; s killed outright and George Hennigr and the colored man were so badly in jured that they will die. Noble Gilky was also hurt, but his wounds were slight and he was able to go home un accompanied. The Rushing Waters Playing Havoc. St. Louis, March 9. The Globe Democrat's correspondent, who reached Helena yesterday from Memphis by the steamer Chemta, gives theollowing view of the situation along Tke nve bank: There are not more than 2 or 3 spots of ground visible between Mem phis and this point. Scores of the best farms in Arkansas and Mississippi are completely ruined and most of them are abandoned. In many places the cattle are standing in the water, and almost every gin house is filled with colored people. It is probable that there will be a big rise below here as the flow of water from the St Francis River is undiminished. Effect of the TariffBilll.
