Art No 73lcieB, Artist Materials. rVgndow-sljiudes, w all Paper, Conipe Mr. Reasran Mr. Culloin: Then it should go to the committee on inter-State com merce, which has had a like bill al ready referred to it the one intro duced by Mr. Spooner. , Mr. Reagan; The post-office com mittee has had several bills before it for the establishment of a postal tele graph, and In lieu of any of them thought it lest to report the bill regu lating the telegraph system of the country. jTwo committees might trell have simultaneous jurisdiction of the subject, but it would be hardly just to the I post-office cpjnmittee to refuse to coinsider the bill which it has reported Mr. Piatt argued that the bill re ported by Mr. Reagan should be re ferred to the inter-State committee. He wbuld feel anxious either to have that committee, of which he was a member, discharged from further consideration of the subject or to let it have its untrammelled and unem barrassed consideration. He pre sumed the bill reported was not a bill in the interest of the postal ser vice, but in the interest of commerce. Mr. Beck thought it hardly the fair thing to take the control of the bill from the poBtoffioe committee and give it to the inter-State com merce committee. The Senate Ought certainly to have had a chance to see the bill on the calendar, and then if the Senate thought it should be sent to the committee on inter State commerce that might be done hereafter. iThe discussion was fur ther continued by Senators Oullom, Ghaee, Blair, Reagan, Salisbury, Hoar and Gorman. Mr; Reagan said that the postoffice committee,: in order to avoid a danger ous experiment, had preferred to re port the bill regulating telegraphic transmission of news. The purport Of the bill was to provide means of regulating the rates for the transmis sion of intelligence. The object of the committee had been to frame 4 bill that would not do injustice to the telegraph companies, but would leave them secure in their rights, Shile at the same time it would secure le people against improper discrimi nation and unjust charges. Mr. liorman expressed his regret that the post-office com paittee had not confined itself to the subject referred to it that of estab- l- V-J 11 J-l t l jisning a postal teiegrapn system. The rapid transmission of intelligence was how in the hands of a single cor poration which had wiped out all competition heretofore attempted, and yet that great question referred to the poBt-omce committee had been set aside land the bill to regulate telegraphy (with which the post office committee had nothing to do) substituted for it. The post-office committee had gone beyond anything referred to it, and he therefore hoped that the bill would be sent to the committee on inter-State commerce. Mr. Oullom consented to withdraw his motion to refer the bill to the committee: on inter-State commerce and to have the bill and the reports laid on the table at present. The Senate passed the House con current resolution directing the Sec retary oil the .Navy to aesignate a national vessel of war to convey the remains of ex-President Paez of Vene zuela, from the port of New York to the port i of LaGuayra, and it was passed. I Mr. (Jolauitt crave notice that he would on Thursday next submit re marks on the motion to refer the President's message. The utihnished business (pension bills) was laid aside and the urgent deficiency appropriation bill was taken up for consideration. A great many amendments recommended by the Senate committee on appropriations were agreed to, nearly as many strik ing items from the bill as adding to it, but a majority of them involving small amounts. The amendment to strike out the following paragraph "And the public printer is hereby directed to rigidly enlorce the pro visions of the eight hour law in the department under bis (the public printer s) charge, having been reach ed, Mr. Hoar inquired of Mr. Hale why the committee had recommended the striking out of those lines Mr. Hale replied that in the first place the committee had no know! edge that the eight hour law was not enforced in the department of pub lie printing. There were persons em ployea there worKing by me piece who desired to work more than eight hours; who preferred to work twelve hours, unu the adoption oi the item might bo construed to make these iiu n stop work at the end of eight hour. :TLo feiialt of (hat might hs to ; compel good workinguien to btop work after eight hours and to allow new and untried greon bunds to be brought in the office-- In; fact, it had been said that the object at the provision was to introduce 150 new untried wen in the public printing office. I Arguments agaiiibt btriking out the provision were made by Messrs. TTnor TUar and Tilnir. the former ttrtifpp'g ttrat to strike It 6tft would be an indication that the Senate was in different to the subject or that it did not favor the eight hour law. Mr.; Reagan argued that the com mittee on appropriations was right in recommending the provision to be struck out. If it meant r anything it meant that the public printer should suspend all work at the end of eight hours each day. If he did so a large number of employees would have to suspend work to their own great in jury and to the injury of the survice. f This was one of those extraordinary things which Congress ;was liable to do under a sort of pressuro which could not be, it seemed, resisted in either branch of Congress. Mr. .Lvaus said he was not dispos ed to prevent the insertion of the clause if the Senate desired it. He only wished to know or what grounds the Senate desired it. It did not be long to Congress, he sf id. Mr. Hawley said that having been absent during most of the discus sion he would like to have it dis tinctly understood that the nuroose of the provision was to forbid a man working mthe publio printing office to work more than eight hours a day. He had been for Keren years a mem ber of the committee on printing and to the best of his recollection, he had never heard one solitary word of com plaint from any one employed in the printing Office concerning the en forcement or non-enforcement of the eight hour law. If tbo provision had any meaning whatever it was an at tempt to forbid a man to work more than eight hours, and therefore in behalf of the workingmen he pro tested against it. It seemed to him a piece of demagogism and nothing else. It was an interference with the natural rights of the workingman and workingmen - who advocated Buch a proposition were unwittingly advancing themselves to a condition of slavery. Mr. Hoar objected to the sugges tion of demagogism. Mr. Hawley: l did not know that the Senator from Massachusetts had anything to do with it. It struck me that it was an effort of demagogism and I repeat that remark. After further discussion by Messrs Hoar, Hawley, Stewart, Hale, Allison and.Reagan, without taking a vote, the senate proceeded to the consider ation of executive business and at 5-25 adjourned. HOUSE Orders were entered assigning the 22d and 24th of March for the con sideration of measures reported by the committee on the judiciary, and the 27th and 28th of March for the consideration of business called up by the committee on commerce. Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, from the committee on printing, reported back ! the resolution directing that committee to inquire whether the scale of prices in vogue in the gov ernment printing office prior to Jan uary 1, 1877, should not be re-established. Adopted. Under the call of States the follow ing bills and resolutions wore intro duced ana referred : j Mr. White, of Indiana, the follow ing preamble and resolutions: Whirkas, There has been ii augu rated a great strike on the C. B. & Q. R. R. Co., which, if not speedily checked, will end in widespread des titution! and suffering, not only by those immediately engaged in it but to others who are not di rectly connected therewith yet never theless are greatly affected by the prolonged strike and the continuance of said strike, Retolvtd, That a special committee of five members be appointed by the speaker to proceed at once to Chicago and there investigate the condition of affairs in relation to said strike, and that they be empowered and request ed to act as mediators between the O. St Q. Railroad Company and Chief Arthur and bring about a settlement of tbo pending troubles and differ ences which will be: amicable and agreeable to both parties, so that the strike will terminate. Referred to the committee on com merce. By Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky. declaring "trusts" unlawful. By Mr. Thomas, of Wisconsin, to define trusts and prohibit trusts from carrying on inter-State commerce. By Mr. Breckenridge, oi Arkansas. to anticipate the payment or the in terest on the bonded debt and to pro- vde for a special deposit of the public money. The House then took up theMcDuf fie-Davidson Alabama contested elec tion case. Mr. Maish, of Pennsylvania, opened the case for the oontestee, and deny-1 ing the statement made in the mi- nority report that the case involved no legal question, proceeded to dis- cubs the legal bearings of the contest as well as the facts elicited in the tes timony, which he contended were ut terly msnmcient to prove the allega tions of fraud made by the contest ant. The committee had given a fair and thorough consideration to the case, and the majority had come to the conclusion that the contestee (David son) had a clear majority over McDuf fie of 8,890 votes. Mr. Simmons, of North Carolina, followed with a brief speech on the same side. Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, said the case illustrated the advance of civilization in the fourth Alabama district. Instead of resorting to the jack-boot and sabre policy, the Dem ocrats had resorted to fraud upon the ballot box in order to overcome the Republican majority. There was evidence oi general iraud through out the district, while the poll lists of Selma precinct showed that the "sheeted dead" were made to vote Of course they voted the Democratic ticket.;; He reviewed in detail the testimony taken in regard to the votes given at the various precincts to sub stantiate the charge of fraud, which he declared was found to exist wherever it was probod for. For the good riame of Congress and in the name of honest elec ions, he believed the House should reject the sitting! member and seat tne contestant. Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, conjjratu lated the Republicans as to the prog. lew iney nsu zxntuB m leva as to what should be done with the negro vote. Heretofore they had been satisfied to assume and declare that the negro vote belorged to the Republican candidates, but here they advanced a step farther and asserted that the negro vote must be cast for the Republican candidate, "but not for the colored Ropublican. He referred to thJ fact ' that the minority report complained that while Turner (the colored Independent Republican candidate) did not receive 100 votes, the returns had given him 2,519 votes. He then proceeded to speak in sup port of the majority report. Mr. Rowell, of Illinois, briefly ad vocated the minority report, and then the case went over till tomorrow. Adjourned. : RBIDSVILLB.

TWO MEN KILLED --AND A NCMBKB 8T OUSLY INJURED OTHEB NEWS By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Cincinnati, Mar. 5. A special from Somerset, Ky., says: A frightful col lision occurred on the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railroad at Pine Knot, Kv.. about 3 o'clock yesterday evening, which resulted in tne Killing oi one man, the iatai inju ry Of another and the Berious wound ing Of others, besides considerable damage to the railroad.

B. Murray, leg broken; brake man Jas. Gogs, hip-joint dislocated; brakeman Wm. Jones, leg fractured. The blame is placed on Conductor Taylor and Engineer Murray, of the freight, who, it seems, attempted to run to Pino Knot ahead of time. Con ductor Green had orders to run to State Line on freight No. 15, regard less of No. 20. When No. 20 was in a mile of Pine Knot, Green'B train dashed from beyoud the curve and went crashing into him before the men of either train had time to jump. The engines were shattered into frag ments. Ten cars toppled over the embankment and wero shattered into splinters. Drs. Warren and George of this place, were wired for and went down on a wrecking train to relieve the wounded. Taylor is a new man and came here highly recommended. Green is from this place, and is one of the best con ductors on the road. Green had or ders to run to State Line and Taylor tried to make Pine Knot on five min utes time and the above frightful ca tastrophe was the result. This is the second accident that has occurred at that place since the road was constructed- Trains will be de layed until about noon today. The killed will be brought here some time today. - A Costly Blase. By Telegraph to the Sews and Observer. Nrw York, March 5.

A strike on the Chic. B. & Q. road is in operation, throwing Several thousand men out of employment. The weather has been spring-like, general trade making good progress; but speculation has dragged slightly, most of the speculative staples show ing little change in values. A. num ber of destructive fires have occurred in this city during the past week. The market for lard on the spot has reflected a steady movement, without conspicuous feature. Today, at somewhat easier prices, there was more doing, closing 7 75o for prime city, 8.02Ja8 07ic foi prime to choice Western, 7. 90c for refined to the Con tinent and 8.75o for South America. The speculation in lard for future de livery has also been comparatively featureless, yet has latterly made some show of strength in sympathy with the better market for corn. To day the opening was strong, but freer offerings caused a slight decliue. Coffee on the spot has been com paratively dull, and prices have fur ther declined, closing unsettled and nominai even at the decline; fair car goes of Rio are quoted today at 14a 14c, with nothing of moment done. The speculation in Rio options has been comparatively slow, at fluctu ating values.

The tea sale on Wednesday went off at rather easier prices for Oolongs and greens. The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market opened stronger on the successful manner in which it was reported the options for March delivery had been disposed of. But on Monday the Liverpool report disappointed our bull party, and the opening was weak; but there was a quick rally, on the early report from New Orleans putting receipts at that port for the day only about one fifth as large as for the correspond ing date last. year. This advance was soon lost, however, under increased receipts at interior towns, and the close was at the lowest figures of the day prices continuing to give way on Tuesday under fuller receipts at the ports. The market was unsettled for the next two days, the reduced receipts at the ports proving an dement of strength which overcame some other adverse influ ences, till near the dose of last even ing, when (the lull interior receipts (of which the arrivals at the ports exceeding estimates) caused a sharp v m iii aeenne. xoaay lue opening was weak, in sympathy with the depres sion in the Liverpool market, and in the later dealings became almost panicky, under rumors regarding a lorthcoming long crop estimate.
