Coun terfeit five dollar ilver certificates of the new issue raatle their appearance in this city today; . One was presented at agentleman'a' furnishing store by an Italian named Duisseppe Cuigicra in payment for a pair of socks worth 25 6ents. The peculiar appearance of the note aroused suspicion and a policeman having been summoned, the iwould-be purchaser was 'taken into custody. The note was exau ined at the Treasury Department and proved to be one of the dangerous issue of counterfeits discovered in Detroit in February last. This coun terfeit is said t4 have been thework of Charles JohospD, a notorious coun terfeiter, who wjisirrpsted in Toronto for cbanterfeitisg. The counterfeit note has already been fully described in the public points. Crugiera, who has just come from New York, sayn he did not know the note was coun terfeit, nor did he remember where he got it. ' ' , ; A STATIC OK 'I'll IN US.

He then quoted from the Chicago platform th,e pro tection plank and regret ed that the doctrine there enunciated had' been assailed from, the e-Jats ' of Re publican members. . From ;iio re marks , made.- by 'these gentle men he'dissented in the name f the Republican party, at whose.' birth he had been, and to whose interests he had been devoted fruu that time to this. 1 ' ' ' If the the duties on suar were rontj let them be righted and made proper., but the gentiomen should r3mom ber that the Republican party bjul de clared not for the establishment of ttu imperial system of bounties, b'tft for the maintenance of the Atuorfciii pro tective system . j; Mr. .McKenna.of California saul that he, too, was a" Itepublican, at5d for that reason, ho rose to oppose "the amendment- -' It had no' true basis of (act;), of principles. For the H'ime reaHon urged to support it, every item, $f the MtllB bill could bo supported. ror the same reason given to put 'sugar on the free list, every American froducUon could be pit on thb free is't-- The amendment -was; op posed to the principle of ! pro tection. It was distinctly and iaccu- the eupremest pricciplo of tb lie publican pvty. It conceded the necessity of a reduction of-thfe rev enue, but enumerated the means of reduction- Protection was not, to bo "emen might say "When you. give bounties, you give protection.- Ho did not deny this, but what assarauce could be given of the stability , of this protection? Were the gentlemen niintj oaiuu iu njni&m to any other industry? Were, they willing to; interpret tne ivepuoncan platform as oiieiing a system oupoun- ties to the industnes oi the country '. The distinction between protection by tariff and protection by bounty was not a verbal institution, it waa a substantial distiction; it' was a . distinction between wnaj, tne DeoDle were and -were not : used to and he asked the itepublicans ol the House, when they were abput to submit the question of protection to the hazard of debate not to ca's4 into one of the scales an odious and ob iectionable form of thai protection The amendment was distinctly! unre publican and distinctly antagonistic to the declarations of the Kepubucan party in convention assembled. Xi was sorry, sincerely ; sorry, ; that the erentleman had ollered thi3 amend ment. He hoped it would not seceive any substantial vote, it it received a substantial liepublican vote he would go from the House today dis appointod;in his party; disappointed in its sinceretv; disappointed in the belief it expressed, and amrmexl that the piinciple of protection must bo universal, ; and as beneficent as uni versal. Let the liepublican .party dec'are this universal policy and it would succeed. It would do more. It would deserve to succeed. i A.p plause.) Mr. Uannou said that the gentiei man from Pennsylvania, (Kelley) who had so much more reputatiou m the countrv than be, had seen probor to arraign the amendment, and his (Can non s) position as unrepublican, if not unpatriotic. If the gentleman was correct about thia matter, if the Chi cago convention meant what it said, and if he one of sixty millions of people, had the right to constfue the platform, then he (Cannon) mitst get off it v Mr. Cannon then quoted th tariff plank of the platform and asBeited that with the declaration he was iri entiie harmony, and. according; to his best ludtrment, tho amendment he offered was in entire harmony with those declarations, lie argued that the tariff on sugar was revenue tariff and not a protective tariff; Did not the gentleman kuow that , since the cose of the war the Sputh had bounded forward iu the production of cotton and every other article ex cepL sugar .r The sugar tat was a bastard and an intruder and a;, fraud pn the protected industries of the country. (Applause ) "I tell the gentleman, said ?. Cannon, iu con clusion, "in the face of this jHouse and of the country, in the presence of my constituents, before whom! stand for re election asking for their bal lots, if now or hereafter I have got to choose between taking the tax " sugar (which is the revenue tax only) andtakinfi- the tariff off spirits I will take it offsuar.

Messrs. retere, Ryan and Attderson, of Kansas, opposed Mr. Cannons amendment to the bill. 1 Messrs Gear and Andorson. of Iowa, favored it as a sound 'pusinoss proposition, and strictly ;ii line with the Chicago platform.

The w nd struck the village with terrific force, overturning and carrying away many of the houses. There is not a busi ness house in tho place but that is damaged to nib re or less extent, and the town itself is almost a complete wreck. A large and handsome hotel that had justj been completed and had not yet been furnished was moved about fifteen feet from its founda tions and completely wrecked. Sev eral dwelling nouses weie uaroofed and a number of barns were de stroyed, leaving the horses and cattle unhurt. No one was injured.

Mr. Mark PartiD, a second cousin of Scott Partin, was in town yesterday and made a diag nosis of the man. After examina tion he asserted positively that it was not l'artin. He looked at the man's eyes very intently and said he was sure he could recognize him by his eyes. He stated that Partin had a 7 little speck in the disc of the pupil of one eye vrhichhe had had all his life, but on examination, it was found that this man did not have the speck. The color of his eyea was also different. Mr. Mark Partin also said that Scott Partin had very coarse hair, whereas , this man's hair was fine and silky. Scott Partin was constitutionally stoop-shouldered and had .always been so, but this man was perfectly erect. His gait was also different While Mr. Mark Partin was in the jail the prisoner seemed to be vary much incensed at an examination which he had just been subjected to. He spluttered away excitedly for sev eral minutes, much of his jibber being entirely unintelligible. He said that an' "old drunken fool" had been talk ing to him and had accused him of committing a crime of which he was not guilty. He said the man was drunk and had insulted him and that he had a "crime-bearing face" and was doubtless a criminal himself. r i " i - . !
