Let him introduce a dog law, and well guaran tee be will stay at home hereafter. Rev. Dr. Talmage has written a letter of sympathy and condolence to Emma Abbott, the opera singer, who made such a stir in Southern church circles by her remarks in a church at Nashville a year ago, and who has recently lost- her hus bnnd, who left her a fortune of half a million dollars. .

When the eloquent Cape Fear ejjbrator reads this refreshing paragraph ' he will throw down the paper and ex claim with the Psalmist, "All men are liavs." : The wonders, as well a 'the usefulness of electricity ,f)nds fresh illustration in its adaptation to the lighting ol railroad -- coaches. Thursday night this use of it was inaugurated in the northwest by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road. Two trains of nine cars each were started, one train from Chicago for St. Paul.and the other in the opposite direction. Both trains were vestibuled throughout, and - . steam-heated from the engines. Air the coaches were brilliantly illuminated by electricity from a dynamo in the baggage car. A novel feature iu the sleeping cars is'an incandescent burner in every sec tion, permitting the occupant to read while lying in the bed. The House yesterday sat down on the proposition to transfer the State Card appropriation of $7,500 to the ex-Confederate pensioners. This was done by a strict party vote. This propo sition originated with the Repub licans. It was 'conceived in ' parti- tan meanness, and brought forth in by- sjoensy; and strangled at the birtn by men who are . determined td act for the best interests of the whole people. The Republicans fool nobody, by Bch masking as this. Four years ago their party, in the House, almost to a man, voted against giving disabled ex-Confcd-erate soldiers anything. In this unchar itable, unkind, if not inhuman course, to wards this unfortunate class of our fellow-citizens they were led, in 1885, by the Hon. v Jeter C.

Shkate: The credentials of Mr. Huar for fast new sen atorial term, commencing March' 4th next, were presented byjdr. Dawes; read and placed on file The certificate ot the presiding officers of the Delaware legislature to the elec tion of Anthony Higgios as Senator from that State was presented by the presid ing officer, and was. referred to the com- mittevon privileges and elections, on motion of Mr. Edmunds, who said that the paper was evidently not in con formity with the requirements of law. The Senate at 11:20 a. m., resumed consideration of the tariri bill, and took up the sugar schedule. No amendment was oflered. '. - Paragraph 173, as to pen-knives and razors, was then taken up, the question being on the amendment reported to it on the 16th inst. Mr. Vest opposed the amendment and said he would confine himself to the prac tical points involved, as the' Senate must have become wearied with political dis- aipatibn and with the discussion of Northern and Southern outrages, which were about as old as the capital; he hoped that other Senators would do likewise. Mr. Allison said he . fully concurred in that sentiment. Mr. Vest compared the votepf duty in the present low rates in the. Senate substitute and the rates in the pending amendment, in order to prove that on lower grades which consti tuted 60 per cent, of importations, the duty was increased both in the substi tute and amendment, largely out of pro portion to the increase in finer and more expensive grades. Mr. Vance read some testimony taken before himself and Mr. Vest to the effect that pocket and table-knives were, made in Connecticut and stamped with Eng lish trade 91 arks. Mr. Piatt denied the statement, and said that the onlv truth about it was that five or six years ago oiie cuflery manufacturing ililiKbmant hud. lit the request of dealers, branded thei knives ' Sheffield Knife Co., England," but it had lasted only for a short period, and had been entirely discontinued; it was wrong then and it wus wrong now. Mr. Vest quoted from the testimony of Thorne & Saxton, before himself and Mr. Vance, showing bow extensive was the fraud practiced by American cutlery man ufacturers in imitating English trade marks. Mr. Piatt said these false trade marks were not put on American goods, but on German goods. He gave statistics of a decrease of business since 1883. Not a single company or firm, (he said ) manu facturing pocket cutlery, had made any thing more than expenses during the past year, and no dividends had been declared. Half of the concerns had failed since 1883; none of them had made any money; importation 01 pocsei cmiery was in creasing rapidly, and the American, pro duction of cutlery was diminishing rap idly, so that there mus' lie an increase of existing duty , or the business in the Uni ted States must stop. Mr. Cull discussed the protection sys tem from a constitutional and historical point of view. He admitted the right of Congress to enact moderate tariff bills, and to allow moderate bounties, but he argued that the imposition of extrava gant rates of duty or payment of undue bounties was not only unwise, and in consistent with general prosperity, but was consistent with" tint building upofan aristocracy of wealth, as much so as if by a law certain privileges were made hereditary in certain families. During Call's argument a message was received from the House announcing the passage ofa bill for the admission ol South Da kota, with amendments, and the bill and amendments were referred to the com mittee on territories. Finally the discussion was closed, and the amendment was agreed to without division. Mr. Vancemoved toadd a proviso that no article mentioned in paragraph 172 or 173, as to table-knives, should pay a higher ad valorsfn vote than sixty-five percent. Negatived, yeas 19, nays 23, Mr. Biown voting yea.- -Paragraph 172 was amended so as to make the vote on table-knives valued at not more than one dollar per dozen, 15 cents per dozen, instead of 20 cents. On motion of Allison, gun paragraph, 181. was amended by making the tax on iruns valued at not more than six dollars Inch, $2; valued at more thnn-stx dollars and not more than twelve dollars each 14; valued at more than twelve dollars each, $6; and in addition thereto 35 per cent, ad valorem; making the tax on single-barret breech-loading shot guns ft, nnd 35 percent, ad valorem; and 00 revolving pistols, valued at not more than ft, 50, cents; and valued at more thnnfl.50 each, ft, with 35 per cent, ad valorem in addition Paraaraph 2H9, as to salt, was read and no amendment oflered. Paragraph 2H7, as to rice, was rend, and Brown moved to amend by making the rules on . t 11 1. - ,u.i,Hlt fetf the nee, cleaneu. wni i"- - ah-1, unclcancd, I'itrnts; paddy, U cents and broken rice, or rice flour. a l rent ad valorem; Instead cf 1 cent.

Tea and coffee should be, as they were,- on the free list, and woolen .and cotton fabrics ought to have sufficient protection; these were infant industries in the South which would be injured by a repeal of the tariffl duties. Kice, as cultivated by free labor, was one of those young industries which could not be maintained without protec tion; the rates under the ex is ing law were the same as proposed in his amend ment; . the Mills . . bill proposed to reduce those rates to 2 cents, 1 ' cents and 1 cent, and to 15 per cent ad valorem; the Senate substitute proposed a further reduction, but the rice planters aijrerd that it preferred the rate at 4 cents per pound on cleaned rice, to insure the rice crop, and that that contained no esti mate for interest on the investment; the rates in the substitute would give an ad vantage of 1 cent per pound to the im porter of Asiatic and Hawaain rice; the labor, which constituted 75 per ct ntof producing rice, was fourteen times higher in the United States than in China.be therefore favored the higher rates; anj hoped that his amendment would be agreed to. Brown, on account of ill-health, occu pied his seat while reading his speech.- Aldrich spoke of the difference of opin ion between brown and Butler, both representing rice States; the former in" sisting on the necessity of increased pro tection to rice and the latter having told the Senate a few days ago that there was no necessity for any duty on rice. As the Senator from Jkiuth Carolina was not present, ht suggested thatthe paragraph go over for the present. It was so or dered, ' ' ' On motion-of Mr. ' Allison, paragraph 158, as to nnnumerated articles from iron or steel, sheets, platei, etc.; was amended by making it apply also to like articles from tin plate. Adjourned after a short executive ses sion. Hotsb: Ford, ef Michigan, from the committee on inauguration, reMrted a bill to regulate inauguration. Placed on the calendar. . Ieave was granted to Spinula. of New York to file a minority report. The House then went into a committee of the whole, Blount, of (ieorgia, in the chair, for consideration of the fortifica tion appropriation bill. hTlie pending question warthe jiuiiit of order raised by I ownsliend, of Illinois. that the committee on appropriations had exceeded its jurisdiction incorpor ating in "the measure provisions for heavy ordnance for the armanent of seat-oast defences, and that 'all such -provisions should be ruled out of the bill, Mr. Townshend and-other members of the military committee took the ground that the auuiect ot ordnance was one over which the committee had exclusive juris diction. A lively contest followed, in which the appropriation committee ap proved the action of the victorious chair man in an elnborate and carefully di gested opinion, overruling the point of order. ' The amendment was adopted appropriating f 25,000 for repairs and iiilprovement of ordinance, and the proving-ground off Sandy Hook. The committee then rose, and the bill was passed. At 3 o'clock public business was sus pended and the House proceeded to the consideration of resolutions expressive of the sorrow of the House at the death of E. W. Robertson, of Louisiana, who died when member-elect to the Fiftieth LCongress. Eulogistic addresses were de livered by Blanchard, Hooker, Hrown of Indiana; Randall, Holmnn, Henderson, of Illinois, Cox, Houk, Bland, Springer and Wilkinson. The resolutions were adopted, and the House as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, at 5 o'clock adjourned. Where Marriage Was a Failure, By Tek-Kraph to the Cltln-n.

Mrs. Johnson quarreled with the girl often, trying to break up the engagement existing between the couple. Last evening, the young folks met, clandes tinely, and Mrs. Johnson, hearing of it called to the girl, who lived in an adjoin ing house.

A special to the Telegraph from Albany, Ga., says: - "From passengers who came up on the Brunswick & Western train to-day, the following facts were learned about the riot at Tyty. A bailiff had a warrant for a negro, and when he went to take his prisoner, the negro drew a pistol and fired at the officer with no effect. The officer seeing that his life was in danger, also, drew his pistol and fired, killing the negro. A Brunswick & Western construction train was on the side-track close to the scene, and all the negro hands quit their work and went to the aid of the negro whose arrest was attempted. This Ared things up, and in a moment a large crowd of white men was on the scene. and immediately the shooting be came general. Wise heads got in, how. ever, and the battle ceased.

ButUK,' Jan 18 -Th Bundearath ill dispose of the East Africa bill without delay, aad it will be submit ted to the Reichstag at the end of the week, when Jt will evoke the long ex pet-ted declaration from Prince Bis marck on the Ooverment colonies and its relations with England The mess are, it ie believed, will be finally pass ed oy a large majority The measure is known in parliamentary circles aa tke - outcome -of - an agreement be tween the leaders of the Uovermenta. After consultation witb Prince Bis marck, the Centre (Catholic), party willl also approve of the policy observ ed daring lueeday a debate. Ihe op position will thus be left to progress on ly and. this will narrow the debate iq to-morrow's encounters between jhe Chancellor and his persistant assail ants An important part of the bill is the proposals relating te enrolling, and adisposition of leveea, it is understood, will be settled in a secret sitting of the committee The interest really centres ia what Prince Bismarck will read oon cerning the co-operation "of England. It is noted here that English opinion against colonial extension by Germany gains ground, and even the conserva tive papers suggest thai Lord Salisbury weakly yielded to the requests of Prince Bismarck without knowing how far the Chancellor's ' designs , extended Probably Prfnoe Bismarck will frank ly disclose how completely the English ' Government has been ap prised of every phase of Gorman poli cy embodied in the East Africa bill. Every suggestion coming from Lord Salisbury during the negotiations has been accepted here. The Chancellor will, thereore, . announce absolute humor in its connection. Tha- Morrior incident has not had the slightest effect on the relations bet wen the two gov ernments. - It may have formed the subject of conversation during the re cent interview between Prince Bis marck and Sir Edward-Malett, the British ambassador. Officially, Lord Salisbury leaves Morrior to fight hi wwn duel. The diplomatic circle is confident that Prince Bismarck has a Ktrong card in- reserve against Morrior, and will . probably obliga Lord Saiia. bury to take official notice of the affair, by transferring Morrior from it- Petersburg to some port that has less influence on European politics. The Geffcken correspondence, covering one hundred and eighty folios, has been submitted to .the Bundesrath. It was intended to publish the corres pondence, but the government is be ginning to learn that the country has had a surfeit of Geffcken. Besides, public opinion is maturing in favor of Geffckeu. MR. MARSHALL'S MISAPPLI CATION Of Fund Entraated to Hla Keep. Ins No Explanation of the Defalcation. By Telegraph to the Cltiien. New York, January 19. The friends of the late Henry P. Marshall, who lias, for over twenty years, been cashier of the Seaman's Bank for savings, on Wall street, were surprised at the published statement this morning that $12,000 worth of funds, held by him as treasurer of the Protestant Episcopal church mis sionary society for seamen, cannot be found. It was ascertained to-duy that the funds of St. deorge's, church and of estates of which he was trustee, are also missing to the extent of nearly $40,000 additional, and, besides this, it is stated that funds entrusted to him bv individ uals for investment cannot be no counted tor. isotntng is wrong witn the bank accounts, which were exam ined when a new cashier was appointed after Marshall's death in November; and again when the regular ball-yearly report was being prepared. No discov ery was made until the need arose for some of the church funds iu Marshall's charge. A search for these disclosed the fact that the securities in which thev had been invested were hyMitliecated to their full value with a trust company, along with oilier securities by Marshall. As the affair gains publicity, additions art made to the amount tor wmcn Marshall it resninsiblc. The aggregate amount involved is now about $75,000.

" Scales, as one of his last acts as the chief -executive of this State, was most for. tunnte in elevating to the Superior Court bench John Gray Bynum, of Morgaatoa. it was a huopy selection. This ia the sixth day of Judge Bynum'l first court, and he has made an impression ia tins ' community that will (allow him through : his whole official life.

Said s gentle- man to yonrcorrespondent One who has been an observer of coert proceedings for many years "He has all the backbone I'm looking for."

The esteem in which he is held heremuat sure- ' ly be a source of great satisfaction to hia people and the section of the State whic h ' claims him as a son. He will adorn the Superior Court bench with legal i brilliancy, wisdom and justice. ' LOCAL OPTION. . f -i In two elections l)urham voted the "dry" ticket by a majority of her citizens.

As she did to a most brutal negro man deliberately kicked her in the mouth, inflicting a very . painful wound and knocking out two lower teeth. Mr. Adams grabbed at the assailant, when he was seized by another negro, shoved or knocked down, nutil the dastardly kicker had escaped through ' this place of alleged snacks.
