A few weeks ago an article was published in the Sanford JExprtat which charged that Judge Fred Phil Hps, of the Superior Court, had be come drunk while holding court there, and that his drunkenness was at the house of Sion H. Buchanan, who was indicted for fornication and adul tery:. The matter was brought to the attention of Judge Phillips, who de nounced the statement as absolutely untrue. The last issue of the Exprcat renews the charges and Bays that after having drank to excess at Bu chanan's house, the Judge heard the case in which Buchanan was defend ant, and by ruling out certain testi mony i saved Buchanan from convic tion. : ByTelegraph to the News and Observer, Washington, March 8 Senate. Among the petitions and memorials presented and referred was one, said to have over 102,000 signatures, from 33 states and territories, against the admission of Utah as a State bo long as its people are under the control of Mormon priests. Among the bills reported and placed on the calendar were the following: To provide for a joint celebration at the national cap ital by the 16 American republics in honor Of i he centennial of the parent republic the United State; to secure to Cherokee freedmen and others their proportions of certain proceeds of land. Senator Colquitt, who had an nounced his purpose to spend today on the President's message, gave way to the pension bill. Hn speech will probably be made Monday. The - pension bill was then taken up, the question btill being upon the amendment of Mr. Wilson of Iowa, adding the words "the infirmities of age." Mr, Manderson replied to some of Mr. Vest's statements made last week, particularly &a to their being no Fed eral soldiers or Confederates either Missouri almshouses. He quoted The substitution of the names was an inadvertence of the reporter. Mr. Plumb had been criticising the super vising architect of the treasury for delaying the work upon the publio buildings and changing the plans so as to involve a greater expense. Mr. Daniel read a letter from Mr. Plumb dated October last, addressed to the supervising architect, urging that the plan for the public building at Wich ita, Kan., be changed by adding an other story and suggesting that if to do this involved the omission of the heatirtg apparatus from the estimates he (Plumb) thought that without doubt this could be provided for at the next session of Congress- Mr. Daniel also read letters fr ra Representative Peters of Kansas, r ic ommending that the work on the public building at Wichita be sus pended with a view to securing a lar ger appropriation. Mr. Daniel made no oj action to Mr. Plumb s letter but he argued that, after being writterr, common fairness should have pre vented the writer from criticizing its recipient for acting upon suggestions contained in it, which virtually had the force Of authority.

Mr. Tillman asked unanimous con sent for the immediate consideration of a bill appropriating -10,000 for the purchase of certain swords be longing to the widow of Gen. James Shields. The bill was passed but not without a good cal of discussion arising out of the statement by Mr. Steele, of Indiana, that he had seen a newspaper paragraph to the effect that there was some question as to the ownership of the swords. Mr I illman declared there was no such question and the entire Missouri delegation gave the assurance that the swords were in undisputed pos session of the Shields family. Mr. Oatee, of Alabama, opposed the bill. It was given as a reason lox the proposition that the swords belonged to the estate and could not be avoided. But they could be sold as other property, he did not believe that Congress could rightfully exer cise the power of the appropriation in such a manner as this, and though he had a kindly feeling towards the family of Gen. Shields, he was not prepared to vote contrary to what he considered his duty under his oath of the office. Mr. Hare, of Texes, protested against the waving of the constitu tion and opposed the bill. Messrs. r Wheeler, of Alabama, Buckelew, of Pennsylvania, and other members pronounced high eulogies upon the Shields and advocated the passage of the bill which had a two fold object to relieve the necessities of the Shields family and to secure to the country the historical relics of the old hero. Two of the swords pro posed to be purchased had been pre sented by the legislatures of South Carolina and Illinois. Mr. Tillman regretted that there and especially regretted that that objection should come ftom the rep resentative of a Southern State. He felt a burning sense of indignation that "any member on this floor should propose that these mementoes should be put up at auction. If they were DUt UP at auction mere were wuu- . . . 1 ,3 sands 01 men in tne oouin wno wouiu willingly biiy them and deposit them in some museum rather tnan nave tnem hawked about and bought and kept as trophies by some rich millionaire. Referring to the admiration of the South for Gen. Shields , oravery in me Mexican wkr, he stated that the ad miration had not been lessened by the fact that Gen. Shields fought aeainst the South in the unfortunate civil war. ! Speaking for South Caro lina, he declared that her people naa been too Bincere in their conviction of duty as they saw it to doubt the sincerity of Gen. Shields' conviction to fight on the side he thought right, and whenever men anywhere w.re rtadv to risk their lives for the sake of their convictions they deserved the respect and charity of honest men even if they had been in the wrong Mr. Ravner. from the committee on commerce, reported the bill to estab lish a nostal telegraph.

Chicago, March 8. This morning the fight between the Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy railroad and its striking engineers and firemen was changed from the lines of the road and the strikers' headquarters at the Grand Pacific to the U. S. Court. At an early hour a big petition was filed in the U. S. Court by counsel for the railroad. It set forth the history of the strike, with the grievances of the road, and wound up by praying an injunction against ffliief Arthur and the Engineers' Brotherhood, as well as an order on the V abash road compelling it to handle the Burling ton freight in the discharge of its duty as a common carrier- The hearing upon the application is set for tomorrow at 2 p. m. THE SPRIVOPIKLD IIOKHOK. THE CONDITION OF THE INJURED. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Springfield, Mass., March 8. There is but little to add to the story of the fire which wrecked the Daily Union office and building yesterday. A great deal of adverse criticism is heard on all sides regarding the work of the hook and ladder men in fail ing to rescue unfortunates hauging from the windows so long with cer tain death staring ihem in the face on all sides, and also what seems criminal negligence in the matter of fire escapes at the front of the build ing. The newly constructed top story was all of pine, painted, and soft wood partitions aided in quickly spreading fire to all parts of the edi torial rooms. The condition of the injured this morning, who 'are in the city hospital, is as follows: Thomas Donohue, aged 32, compositor, who struck a sign in falling, and was badly injured, is dying. Fred. Enswortb, counting-room clerk,, who came up with the elevator at the last moment and j umped from a window, is as com fortable as could be expected and will probably recover. Twlf lad Benin HnnrM.

It is opposed by the sugar and wool Democrats, and their opposition, with the aid of Randall, is sufficient to defeat the bill in the House, in the present shape. It is not the purposD or desire of the op position to defeat all tariff legisla tion. There are tariff reformers amoQ the wool and sugar Democrats, but they are protectionists so far as wool and eu .jar are concerned. How to make their opposition effectual, and uoi defeat all tariff aud internal revenue legislation is now the per plexing question with ihem. Ran dall is expected to coma to their.; relief, at the ; proper time, with a substitute. But the rub comes in on the adoption of the substitute. It must pass by .Republican votes. Then, upon the passage of the bill as amended by the substitute, what may occur ? The Democrats will almost certainly vote against it, and it is equally certain that a large majority of the Republicans will do the same thing. That would dispose of the tariff bill. There are difficulties in the way, however, but they are not necessarily insuperable. The main difficulty is a parliamentary one. It presents the question under the rules, whether Randall's substitute is germano to the bill. For instance, the substitute repeals the tax on fruit brandy and reduces the tax on whiskey to fifty cents. Neither of these items is mentioned in the committee's bill. This ques tion has bean anticipated and it is understood that Speaker Carlisle will rule against Randall. But it is in the power of Randall to alter the rule. With Reed and Cannon, Re publicans, he can control the action of the committee on rules, and alter the rules to suit his purpose. He can also appeal from the Speaker's ruling, and in that way, with the aid of Republican votes, get his substi tute before the House. So the 6nd is not yet- The internal revenue sections of the tariff bill have been submitted to the full committee and incorporated in the general bill. DYING.

I should say the North Carolina strip, on which bright tobacco is raised, It wiucu prouuees a ugui cuioreu n- bacco. This sells for a much higher price than the; darker tobacco, pro duced by richer sou. "What does it produce per acre "From seven hundred to twelve hundred dollars per acre. A banker in Reidsville told me of a negro who had three acres on which he worked evenings after the factory closed, and deposited with the banker thirteen hundred dollars, the proceeds of the three acres. This is the only region in America where the annual crop raised upon given area of land is worth three times as much as the land itself. A farmer said he could stand on the front piazza of his country home and see the homes of farmers who bad over one hundred thousand dollars loaned out at interest Within a few years tne ciues 01 xieiasvuie anu Durham have grown from six to ten thousand teople, and brighter or more prosperous places I never saw." "Is not the west richer than the bright tobacco strip," "No. The west is largely mort eaeed. The Kansas City Times is printed in a building owned by east ern capitalists, and on the adjoining block one Boston man owns $300,000 of mortgage bonds. In Grand Rapids there are twentv or thirty furniture factories, nearly every dollar of which is owned in the east, i do not De lieve western farm lands are higher today than they were ten or twenty vmrs sco. Indeed. I think they are lower, and very badly mortgaged. ERA HOUSE. ONE NIGHT ONLY. Monday. March 12.
