VVashtngton, Jan. 14 Sknatk Mr. ! Hawley again presided over the Senate today, in the absence of the president pro tempore. Mr. Piatt presented a petition from commercial travelers, praying for legis lation to relieve them of burdousouic taxation. '' Mr. Edmunds said coinplahits bad! been made to him that the merchants, artisans and laboring men of Washington were very, injuriously affected by the bringing here of the surplus stocks of other cities, which at a mere nominal ex pense for rent, were sold here. The petition was referred to the com mittee on commerce, where the chair man, Mr. McMillan, said the commit tee would be glad to hear .parties having any views to present on either tide of the subject. Mr. Beck said there had come to him, he did not know why, several petitions to be presented to the Senate, urgiug Congress to suspend the silver coiuage. He-had declined to present such peti tions and had returned them to the per sons sending them to him. He pursued that course because he believed the sending of such petitions had been in fluenced by a circular letter marked "confidential,' sent dutby a committee of the New York board of trade and transportation. Mr. Beck read a copy of the letter. It asks its recipient to write a personal letter to speaker Car lisle, urgiug him to refrain from placing extreme silver men on the coinage com mittee of the House of Representatives, and also to write personal letters to the j senators and Representatives urging a suspension of the coinage, Mr. Brown called up Mr. Beck s sil ver resolution and addressed the Senate on it. It would be unwise, Mr. Brown said, and unjust to the people to sus pend the coinage of silver at present. So far si the bondholders were concern ed, the medium in which they were 'to be paid had not been left in doubt, but had been nominated in the bond. They were to be paid in the lawful money of the United States. At the time of the contract greenbacks were the lawful money of the United States and almost the only currency. The bondholders, however, many of whom -had paid in silver only forty or fifty cents on the dollar for their bonds, soon went sys tematically to work to increase tbo value, of : their I -demands against the government. They used the col umns of; influential newspapers and the brains of influential men and secured the passage of the act of 1869, changing the contract and-making the bonds payable in coin, without giving for that change any new consideration. 'Coin" meant gold or silver. But not yet satisfied, they soon had the pleasure of seeing the refunding act of 1870 passed, which prescribed that te new- bonds should, be paid in the coin of the then standard value, the same standard as that of today. It would W naturally supposed, Mr. Brown continued, that this system of changing the contract from time to time, making it each time more valuable to the creditor, bad been carried far enough, and that tbe people would not be asked to Jo more than to P5 iu gold or. nilrer coin an original greenback worth 40 cent on the dollar. But not content even then, the next slop was to demonetise eHrex, for if silver could be permanently demonetized there would be effected a reduction of the quantity of coin with which, under the contract, debts-were to be paid, and the value of gold coin, the only coin left, would be greatly increased.. After the demonetizing act had been passed, how ever, the people felt that they had been wronged and sent representatives to Congress to repeal it and to provide for a reasonable amount of annual silver coinage. Since that time khe creditor class had failed, to influence Congress, but had. been fortunate enough to continue to receive payment in gold alone. Those men had been receiving gold alone, while all the other creditors of the United States had to take silver or greenbacks. The result was that the f bonds bad steadily advanced, until tncy were now worth r20-t?r"124, but- the cry still was that the bondholders should be dealt with liberally and that taxes must be increased in order to pay them better currency than other people, so as to "keep up the credit of the United States," when the three" per cent bond ! was at par. ;. Mr. Urown did not care to tax tbe. people to put tne credit any higher. The officers of the treasury, he said, should treat all the public creditors alike. If they paid the bond holders in gold alone, they should puy the laborer in gold. Mr. Maxcy followed in the same view of the bond question as Mr. Brown. At the conclusion of Mr. Maxey's re- marks the j udiciary bill was laid before the Senate. One of the sections of the bill provides that no person related witnin tne degree ot hrst cousin to a judge ot the United 8tatea shall be ap- :.J V. ... iA i : pointed, by such judge to any position in his court, and that persons so related who now hold such office shall not con tinue in office after six months from the passage of ; this act.

The clause;, too, it was Mr. Edmunds' belief, was retrospective and therefore ob- jectionable on, that account. He moved ; to strike out the clause that would affect j persons at present in officei This was agreed to after considerable debate At 5.10 p. m. with th bill still pend ing and Mr. Morgan speaking against, the bill, the Senato adjourned till Mpn day next. " Hoosk Mr. Dingley, of Maine, -from the shipping committee, reported the resolution . directing that committee to inquire what if anjy legislation will promote the interests of the American marine employed in-the tiRheries and to report by the bill or otherwise. Adopted. Mr,; Wellborn offered a resolution authorizing all couunitUes having juris diction of general appropriation, bills to have printed such .documents as they may desire Refer re-1. Two private bills ni; were reported under the call of conn nit toes for reports, and then began the morning hour for the consideration of such business as might be called up. On behalf of the committee on waya and means, Mr. Morrisou, of Illihoi, called jttp the resolution tor the distri bution! of the President's message.

Mr. Caldwell stated that the eoiuuiitte in reporting this measure had not dealt with in difference or disrespret to other propo sition! before it, ' There Were mmy measures proposed that would mora property meet u 11 possil le or imaginary exigencies than the ono now reported, but they, required a constitutional amendment belore they could become laws and the constitutional amendment involved a delay which would ill-ac- cordwith the reasonable anxiety whicu tie great body - of people felt. There were many exigencies whjch the pending measure did not cover, but the present exigency it completely covered. It was ! temporarily thrown across the chasm in order to meet a public demand and wou d be followed in due time by an enduring structure over which along line of Republican . and Democratic Presidents might march in unbroken suc cession; . .! Mr. Perkins : If .President should die, who under this law would succeed to the office ? - Mr. . Caldwell : The secretary of state. Mr. Pefkins : If in 1B88 the election of last year should be reversed and the electoral college should meet and should designate a President and Vice-President-elect, and before their 'inaugura tion fthey bhould die or should be as sassinated who for four years there after would continue President?

Mr, i Perkins; Do you believe it fis good: legislation " to give any officer toe power to perpetuate nimseit inaeu nitety in the executive office? Mr. Caldwell: I do not, and I do not understand that the bill admits of any such construction. Mr. Cooper, of Ohio.who prepared the minority report, stated the reasons which impelled him to take a stand against the measure and pointed outthe objections which he considered as fatal to its utility . He protested against the general principle of the; bill; against the- idea of Vesting in the person who Occupied the presi dential chair the power to perpetuate the succession by naming his successor He was profoundly doubtful of the con stitutionality of the provision which would vest the presidency upon one ap pointed by an outgoing admin stratx u.

'I have seen several of these remarkable stones (so called). On examining them I find most of them to be improved specimens of kaolin. lour traveling man, 1. K.

Its virtue lies in, its great absorbing quali ties. I he stone is first submerged in hot water fcr heated over a fire and then applied to the bitten or stung place. It will stick tighter than poverty to a mortgaged cropper,until it absorbs every particle of moisture at the point of ap plication, and with the moisture goes the fluid poison into the stone. The heating of the stone before application expands and expels the air from the in torspaces of tho stone and thui greatly increases its absorbing -powers.'

A Baltimore correspondent of the Philadelphia Times gives an interesting sketch of Miss Emily MacTavish, the lady who, after many years' reign as one of the social attractions ind beaur ties of Baltimore, has withdrawn from the world and taken the final vows and black veil as a' nun. Her family con nections are of the most distinguished character She is, on her father's side, the great-granddaughter of Charles Car roll, of Carrollton, the signer of the de claration of independence,", and on her mother's side the granddaughter of the once commander of the army of the Tinted States, General Winfield Scott. There are few who have not beard of her three beautiful aunts, known as the American Graces, who were the Misses Caton , Charles Carroll's granddaughters. Theae ladies, after flourishing as belles in Baltimore, went to England, where the Duke of Wellington presented them to the court'of the Prince Begent, upon whom their beauty made a great im pression. They all became peeresses. Mary, the oldest, married the Marquis of Wellesley, the eldest brother of the Duke of .Wellington; Elizabeth married Baron Stafford and Louisa became the Duchess of Leeds. ! 1; The MacTavish family, whose posses sions eome from the fCarrolIs, the Cal- verts and the Catons, had given nearly. if not all, it? proparty to the church ' It is interesting to know that the first House of the Good Shepherd in tho United States was established, in Baltimore by MFjfc-EmTTiySUaclavish, the mother of the young ladywbTov after the usual pre- lmmary period, hasN taken the black ve...
