The Cattle Plague The Klver and Harbor Bill Before the Senate Sab ' committee Probable .Increase of Amount Appropriated. LBy Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Feb. 21. The Senate committee on Agriculture commenced to day the examination of witnesses with regard to the pleuro-pneumonia cattle disease. Mr. Samuel Brown, of Pittsburg. aDd Mr. Sadler, of New York, buyers of cattle for exportationsl and veterinary surgeon Qodsder, ot Philadelphia, all concurred in the statement that tue conn . try is free from this disease among cattle, and letters from producers were read from the cattle regions of Kentucky, Ohio, Illi nois, Texas and Nebraska, Bhowing this fact.. This freedom from such disease has exiBted during the last ' twelve months. There is, however, they say, an exceptional case on Long Island, where, by isolation, the disease is being stamped out. The sub committee, consisting of Messrs McMillan, Spencer and Ransom, appointed by the Senate committee on Commerce to consider the River and Harbor bill, held a ' session this afternoon. A large number of amendments have already been introduced in tbe 8enate for reference to this commit tee, and it is probable that the amount of the bill will be increased at least half a million dollars. i THE POTT KB COOT 01 ITTKE. Jack Wharton Before the Potter Committee and t'roee-Examlned by Gen. Butler. . LBy Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Feb. 21. Before the Pot ter Committee to-day Marshall Jack Whar ton waa cross-examined by Gen. Butler, regarding the charge that the party that wont to Uouachita Parish, over whom he acted as commander, committed various crimes, murdered a number of negroes, etc. He very emphatically denied that any one was murdered by those in his party. On the contrary, the men who did tbe killing were driven out of tbe Parish by him and his friends. Gen. Butler produced and read a letter, the signature of which was identified by Wharton, the salient points of which were as follows: "Write me and let me know how to address you. When you get to Washington, if you Bhould be placed at the head of the Secret Ser vice Bureau, appoint me at once and order me' to New Orleans from here (Jacksonville, Miss ), as in that way the government will have to . pay my ex penses, otherwise I shall have to pay them out of ray own pocket. Write two letters, one to Mr. Packard, informing him that the President wants Jack Wharton here (at Washington) on important business, and to send him on immediately. Of course you will tell no one of my appointment." : Witness wanted it understood that he had never made any proposition to any member of the Returning 'Board that would lead him to entertain the idea that he (Wharton) wanted to buy him out. He was quite positive that should the members of tbe Board do their duty Hayes and Packard would surely be elected. He was alarmed, however, that they would not do their duty. FOREIGN.

MISCELLANEOUS. P. L., Bridgets & Co, Those who'll read this rhyme and visit onr store Will appreciate more than evor before That our muse does not vainly aspire To climb Olympus, and ingloriously expire In the attempt, twit keeps an even pace With the times, and always points to the place Where they "blow" about one special thiog. Which has, without doubt, the true business ring And this thing we will briefly explain. With the hope that we will catite no pain To brother grocers, who, in years gone by. Learned to get goods at figures that were hign. Unfortunately we see some of them incline ' To follow the customs of "Auld Lang Syne;" But we consider it matter of congratulation That we've no fogy notions in our education !, In old times "big profits" had a wide range, And old habits are hard, hard to change. Of Wilmington grocers we take the lead! Now to prove this assertion we only need To remind the public that oar clean new store Made others be painted and swept a little more ! Like all business men who are truly wise, We at once began to extensively advertise, When our friends, catching the idea, thought it well To increase their space, as the printers will tell 1 At first we put some poetry in our "ad." Bat when they saw this plan was not bad. They followed our lead. And when we tried proes They folleweds nicely as if lead by the nose! We next thought 'twould be well to try rhyme, When lo! they grasped the idea as sublime! Though they have followed in all that we have done, When this battle is well fought and won, Some will see "that extra percent." isn't 'non sense. But with old stock and such heavy expense, They will find that the prices of P. L. Bridgers & Ca. If followed will surely bring them to woe! To prove that we mean what we say. We announce that ws sell for a week from to-day. Eleven pounds of "A Sugar" for only one dollar, Which lead we invite all grocers to follow. The muse here caught sight of that one-horse grinding machine of Herr Von Kris Kringle, and was so thoroughly dif gust ed at the cheap way grinding out poetry that neither leve nor money could induce him to finish our rhyme, sa it had to come to an abrupt ending.
