Their onoosition is to the free tuition l.lei. i ue rvaieign Jiuouciue ma.es an excellent suggestion for the con sideration of those who demand free. tuition, even though it breaks down the denominational college. It says: Let the Legislature appropriate1 a cer tain amount to pay the college tuition of the noor vouns men ot tne btate. Then upon the certificate of the faculty of the University, or upon the certificate of the faeultv of ay of me chartered male col leges of the State that they have given any number of needy yonne men tuition gratis. snecifv Insr the number, the Governor shall issuj his warrant upon the State Treasur er forhe payment ot tne regular tuition rlmrpes of su':Q vouni men to said faculty. Of cnurse the aggregate bf these warrants Drifted, and each institution must be lim ited to an equitable share of the appropri- . atlim. . This proposition is worth the at tention .of enlightened' legislators. Let us have an endowment for the Univt-rsi y, but let it be on the li: e of liuililiin? uu and not of teariner don.. While fostering the Univer sity let not legislators lay their de structive hinds upon the other insti tutions that are doing such an impor tant work for North Carolina; In the Raleigh Neios- Observer of Tsesday there is a loner communica tion from that eminent teacher and scholar, .lames If. Horner, Esq., of Oxford. Mr. Horner is one of the most distinguished of the living grad uates, of the University. He is en titled to be 'beard upon the Universi ty ,and we gladly make a few ex- traot-x from his j.-aper. He say: "O.is- im sbnukl to make the Univer sity tq!ii! in all n-specis to the best colleges an) iiiii7ersiiies of this country. : We want a tm.Vf-rsity ihat can furnish our aspiring yoii.-it: men an opportunity to eet a com pit-iu fimiriuu ai uoiuc many oi our most wis ir.wi aaa amoitious young men are now . for: i lei go abroad to Johns Elopkins Uni ver'ty. io the University of Virginia, or to 8 !!!(. .Northern University for those advan tuire. !!ch our own University ought to aj i,- inem. but cannot for Ibe want or ui(-Hiis to pn.vidt the necessary equipm- ' fa il !:i'in i:uiht not to be made 'to eua')l!- the University to furnish free tui thm Fiee tuition a" the U jvrr.-ity would . be iaiinical to th eiiucattoOAl interests of the tJt.ate It wouid tend to "crinole and brtait down the preparatory schools, the nuisci its or the University and of our de nominitiocal colleges , Free tuition would . niaUa classical education cheaper at the Uiuvtreity than it can be made in our pre pamJory schools, and rarents abundantlv able ould be induced to send their sons to the'i.i' paratory department of. the Univer sity as a matter of ccouomy Free tuition at the Univerbity would not benefit the : po'-r. fiir ary ODe who te able to defray the other expenses is also able to pay tuition.

' v The New Tork Times does not think the people will regard the Con stitution when they get ready to carry out a scheme or change. It says: u me people are con vincea mat tne uov- emment ought to take part in the work of educating the illiterate mass of citizens "men a gas orougnt into tne great electo ral body "constitutional doubts will not be peimitted to stand in the way." That is to say, the negroes must be taught by the Federal Government, organic law to the contrary. This is only another sign of the drift. The Constitution is fast becoming a mere 'ope of sand. A propos of the dan gerous Blair bill, that contains enough nitroglycerine to blow up a dozen Constitutions and to destroy any free, republican Government, we find an interesting opinion quoted in a letter to the Times by ez-Gov, Chamberlain. That able and echol arly writer sayB ''I happen to have received this morning what I consider Terv Htmnir nrniflrrrmtirm rv M . . ... I y view in a personal letter from a a is- i Mnguished Southern Representative in the I present Congress, who is known every- where as a fine type of a liberal and pro- interested in the public school system, and ence opposed to national aid.

It has some timet felt it to be its duty to say a kind and a warn-' w wta uuyu v w a - worked. There are instances of hard ship occurring, in every community. Not long ago a friend wrote o us 'giving an instance of a much over taxed pupil, and asklfig us to write about it. We will not particularize. Parents" ought : not to allow their children to be Oppressed or injured, mentally or physically. ' It would be, much : better to keep them from school altogether than to have them weighted down with the many boots and punished without judgment or humanity. Jt is both sin and. folly to give the brain too much work to do. That is a truth and it might be post ed the father's hat and over the desks of all teachers with advantage. Give the children a chance to grow and develop and be healthy. Knowledge is good, but a healthy mind in a healthy body is better. The ancients understood this and in corporated it into an axiom Sana mens tn sano corpore. There are too many books used. A gentleman a few days since, showed us a list of studies taught in a school and re marked, "Can it be possible that a girl can learn any of these ?" We answered: "It would take an intel lectual and studious girl until she was twenty years of age to acquire a fair knowledge of those books." Where is the corrective ? In the North the ables$ teachers themselves are discussing the abuse of too many studies and too much confinement. If parents submit to excessive de mands upon the mind and body of their children it : is probable that abuses will continue. Dr. Prime, editor of the New York Observer. regards this persecution of children as murder. He says: "When I learned the Catechism in child-. hood, an answer to what is required in the sixth commandment was impressed on my infant mind- The commandment is 'Thou shalt not kill,' and the Catechism said this, command requires 'the use of all lawful endeavors to preserve our own lives and the lives of others." r He shows bow people are killing themselves by overtaxing themselves, and how children are being . made nervous and sleepless and sick by too mnch confinement and too much. ta.k. lie say: "Children tin not kn w the dancer, and their ambition is rou-ed to excel. Teach era stimulate i hd school as their obvious duty, and r ice when the scholar at the risk of his life makes a perfect recitation. Studies are multiplied immoderately. Books are taken home at night and the child is pouring over them when he or she eight to be in bed and asleep. The harp of a thou sand strings is out of tune. Discord reigns in the whole inner department. And the primary education of nearly the whole of our people is given on these high-pressure principles, regardless of the inevitable con sequences of this sin and folly. Thus in early life the seeds of .future mischief are sown." Shall this folly and madness con tinue indefinitely ? We agree with the eminent editor above quoted from ia the following: ... "1. Let six hours a day be the limit of school hours and study. 2. Allow no study in the evening. 3. Make lively exercise and play in the open air to be required as regularly as the school. 4. While the school education is in progress let the child, whether : boy or girl, be restrained from evening parties and public amusements that excite and Keep them up late ana awake when they ought to sleep." Parents, read that again - and re solve to act upon it at once. But you will not. You will still remain blind to the true interests of your sadly over-worked child and allow a diseased body, and, perhaps, a dis eased mmd, to tell the fearful story hereafter. -; : Already, before being seated, cer- -rtnAA-n ; rAn.o, - Wol snnninsr to erowl over Mr. Cleve- U t! land.

The Washington .,jt. r ,a "Phiiaoinliia correspondent of the Philadelphia Times on the 5th sent this:.::,: X "That a feeling of dissatisfaction is growing up among a class of Democrats in Congress which may become serious for Mr. Cleveland is as easy to see as the Washington Monument.

These fault-finding Demo crats aver that they are prepared to believe .that Cleveland meditates setting up for himself and the leading of the party into new paths. "The Washington Post emphasizes the sentimenUand stimulates the feeling of dis satisfaction with the President-elect and in doing so purposely embarrasses him. Numbers of Democratic Senators and Rep resentatives are not imitating Mr. Cleve land's policy of reticence, but are speaking out their dissatisfaction and letting it be known what kind of an administration they and, as they allege, tbe Democracy of the country expect from him.

He saw a man in ' the yard, and, thinking it was his milkman he hailed ' htm and re marked that he was early in calling, upon which the man started to run and quickly disappeared Mr. Carroll returned to hia room, but pot to sleep, as the incident had .tended to dissipate any inclination to that end. , It seems that in about the space of; a half hour ' the ' man 'returned to cany., out. the project .- he had .in view, which--was the robbery; of the hen-house."5 Mr. Carroll has a faithful doft, Which seems to. have t intefered with the thief, as he shot at him, and the report was the first intimation Mr. C. had that the fel low had returned. He hurried in the di rection of the back door, pistol in hand, but had .njrt reached ft when a second report was heard and a ball came crashing through a window next to the yard and buried itself in a heavy picture frame on the opposite wall, having passed through the blind, glass, and curtain. When Mr, C. finally . reached the door the thief had again disap peared, carrying with him seven fine fowls. The ball, badly haltered by its contact with the window and picture frame, was seen by us yesterday morning. .' . A Fleeting Profeeaor. A few days ago we were made cognizant of the fact that a new sensation had burst in upon our quiet community in the per son of Prof. John Kelley, of New York, fresh from the Olympic Skating Rink, and the greatest skater that had ever been seen in these parts, j In fact, an announcement had been prepared for insertion in the pa pers of a grand skating entertainment to come off early jnext week, in which the said Prof. Kelley would display his won derful skill before a Wilmington audience. Now we are called upon to make the heart rending announcement that the Professor has "vamosed the ranche" gone de parted left for parts unknown ; and, worse than all. Manager Cushing says he carried, with him a fine pair of skates belonging to his rink.. What a naughty Professor 1 By the .way, however, they say he is a magnificent skater. On tne Tramp. Two straDge looking and quecrly dressed individuals presented themselves at the City Hall yesterday afternoon, and by way of in troduction to Chief Brock each produced a small memorandum book, from which it was ascertained that they were both French men, and had formerly belonged to the Fourth Regiment, Marine Corps, from which they had been honorably discharged. They were also provided with the necessary passports, testimouy of good character, etc. They speak but a few words of English, but enough could be understood to know that they are on the tramp and are making their way to New Orleans. They were given something to eat, of which they par took voraciously and were lodged for, the night. : - - " - A Carver of Walhlne-Canea. i Henry Bellamy, an old colored man of this city, is a genius in his way.

Mr. Cameron, of Penn. , offered a resolution, which was agreed to, directing j the committee on Naval Affairs to investigate tbe organiza tion of the Navy and all questions touch ing its line and staff corps and all ranks and grades, together witb tne questions or pay and promotion. The resolution au thorizes the committee to sit during the recess bf the Senate, and to send for per-. sons and papers, and requires it to report at the next session. :: - At two o'clock the Senate took UD tbe bill for the redemption of the standard dol lar. Upon this Mr. Bowen took the floor.: He argued that the true policy of the Uni ted States was to develop the resources of their own country and leave other nations to look out for themselves; above all it was important to maintain the balance , of trade in our favor, even li lor - una purpose it should become necessary to increase tariff duties and to shut out all foreign luxuries. Gold Would then flow in from abroad and in time would be sufficient to retire every legal tender note and leave us with a cur rency composed exclusively of gold and silver. It should be - clearly announced that the production of silver was one of the industries of the United States and that tbe nation was planted on that , platform and' would not get off it. - Mr. Bowen opposed the Senate committee's amendment to the House bill; t he hoped the House bill pro viding merely for the redemption of the trade dollar would be passed by the Senate, and that the Senate provision to suspend the coinage of standard silver dollars Would not be passed. Mr. Bayard followed. He remarked upon the exceeding importance of the ques tion before tbe Senate, and the fact that notwithstanding its importance there were scarcely a score of Senators in the Cham ber. Mr. Bayard strongly opposed the redemption of the trade dollar, at its face value. Indeed, be objected to tbe word redemption" in connection with it. Trade dollars were in the same category as silver bars. After giving a history of tne coinage of the United States and of the trade dol lars, Mr. Bayard said, that in 1876 the trade dollar was struck, out from the list of coins of the United States. It never had had any place there except to the ex tent of fire dollars. Mr. Bayard advoca ted suspension of the silver coinage act He would favor a more prompt suspension than that provided by the Senate commit tee's amendment tinder consideration, but if the present measure was the best that could now he had, - he would support it. Mr. Bayard occupied the time to adjourn ment, which was taken at 8.45 p. m. . house jor representatives: Mr. Belmont, from the committee on Foreign Affairs, reported back a resolution. requesting tbe President to cause copies of all communications which had been received respecting tbe Congo conference, and especi ally copies of; the text of the commission or powers sent by this government to each of the three American plenipotentiaries or agents, to be immediately transmitted j to this House. Adopted. i Mr. Randall, of Penn., from the com mittee on Rules, reported an amendment to the special "ten objections rule, so as -to provide that the objections shall not be called for until a ten minutes debate Has proceeded. - - - After a debate of rather a personal char acter between Messrs. Reed of Me., and McMillan of Tenn., the amendment to the rules was adopted. - I Mr. Breckenndge, of Ark., rising to a question of privilege, sent to the clerk's desk and had ; read extracts from speeches made yesterday by Mr. Reed, of Me., and Mr. HiscocK. or r. i., reflecting upon the committee on Rivers and Harbors. At a full meeting of tbe committee this morning. he said, it bad been unanimously agreed that those remarks should be denounced on the floor of the House as a slander upon the committee. The committee unani mously denounced the imputations upon it as utterly base and groundless. The com mittee had no desire to have these insolent remarks taken from the record. It was willing to let them stand as evidence of the kind of criticism that was directed against the action of the committee. As a member of Congress and as a gentleman, he re sented the insults which the gentlemen sought to heap upon their associates. ! This occasioned another Heated debate, in which both ' Messrs.-: Keid and Hiscock adhered to their remarks of yesterday, aid parliamentary restrictions were ignored by several gentlemen, but nothing came of it, and the matter was nnaiiy dropped. The House then proceeded to business under the new rule and a half dozen bills of local interest only were passed. The House, at 8.25 p. m., went into com mittee of the Whole (Hammond, of Ga., ia the chair) on the River and Harbor bill. ! Mr. Spooner. of Rhode Island, while fa voring the general principle of internal im provement protested against the bill as dis criminating against the locality which he represented. Mr, Spooner i managed,! by pro forma amendments offered every five minutes, to mane an nour s speech, devoted especially to a comparison of the com merce oi Texas and ot unooe island, rend ing action the committee rose, Mr. Molman, of Indiana, iromthe com mittee on Appropriations, reported the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Ap propriation bill, and it was referred to the committee ef the Whole. J The House then, at o.is p. m., toon a recess until 10 o'clock to-morrow. SENATE. Washingtok. Feb. 6. Mr. In sails, ac cording to notice given yesterday, moved an amendment to tbe Senate rule that pro hibits general legislation on appropriation bills; the amendment oerog to permit sucn legislation only as may be germane or rele vant to the subject matter of the bill. ; Af ter a long debate Mr. Ingalls' amendment was referred to the committee on Rules, In the course of debate on tbe amend ment Mr. Cockrell alluded to newspaper re ports to the effect that $2,500 had been paid to one eminent attorney in Washington and $1,000 to another to get certain pension legislation through Congress. The legis lation had been secured, but. Mr. Cockrell said, he intended no reflection on the Con ference Committee that was primarily re sponsible for having the legislation passed, as he (Cockrell) believed the committee acted on its sense of duty with the best in formation its members could get. Mr. Hawley said a bill could be passed in half an hour repealing such legislation. -Thereupon Mr. Jackson called up the bill already on the calendar, relating to-fees of pension claim agents and attorneys. -; The bill was taken up, but Mr. Palmer asked and received unanimous consent to lay it temporarily aside, to allow of his delivery of some remarks on the woman suffrage con stitutional amendment. The decision to take up the Pension Agents bill also temporarily postponed we ouver Aunage uui. : The bill to reeulate the fees of pension agents and attorneys was then taken up. In the course of the debate Mr. Beck said he thought that under the extraordinary cir cumstances by which tbe passage of the law of 1884 was secured, parties claiming under it should be required to go into court ana show good cause. In 1884 pension agents wanted their fees increased, but both Houses declined to increase them ; yet in the confer ence' committee the fees were increased. Mr. Allison said that as he (Mr. Allison) understood the matter, the Pension Com missioner and the Secretary of the Interior recommended or approved the legislation mterreA tn. .- ;5 -1 Mr. Beck; said these officers had nOTiusi- ness to "recommend measures aiier oom Houses of Congress had distinctly declined tn nam them. When the Conference com mittee, by that act opened up all cases be tween 1878 and 1884, they were taking out of the pockets of pensioners $3,593,850 (on 23,959 claims then pending) and if 138,723 cases that had been rejected, but were still Kcintr -nmssed. should : be restored, (which was not impossible), there would be a fur ther sum which that bill would allow to be squeezed out of pensioners amounting to $2,080,000; making a total pf $5,674,695, rwf vhloli nAnaiotinni were' robbed. " I After further discussion, participated in ELY by Messrs Blair, Harrison, Call and Piatt, the bill was passed without division. l ne uonsalar and Diplomatic Appro priation bill was then called up and passed. ' The conference renort on, the! Militarv Academy Appropriation bill was called up. 1 ne senate receded from its amendment. The Chairman then laid before the Sen.' ate the Anti Silver Coinage bill, but without further action the Senate at 5 P.' M. went into Executive session, and when at 5.15 the doors were reopened. 'adiourned. leav. ing that bill as the unfinished business for tomorrow. 1 - . ; ;. . HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. When the House met at 10 o'clock this morning, .in continuation of yesterday's session, there were not more than half a dozen members present, and a further -re cess of ten minutes Was taken. After the recess the House went into committee of the Whole (Mr. Hammond in the chair), on the River, and Harbor bill, the pending amendment being that providing that no part of the appropriation : of "the $100,000 for improving a national harbor of the first classKat Sandy Bay, Mass.," shall be ex pended until a new board of three engi neers shall decide that that point is the best location on the coast fori such a harbor. Agreed to, but on motion' of Mr. Oates, of Ala.; the entire paragraph relating to this harbor was 'stricken outu: ' : Several 'amendments were offered and Mr. McComas offered . an amendment providing that no money appropriated bv this act shall be expended except for such works as the Secretary of War, under the direction of the President, shall determine, and in no case shall the expenditure for any one purpose exceed the sums designated by this act for that purpose.! r Pending action, Mr. Willis moved that the committee rise, and on a viva voce vote the Chairman decided that the ayes had it, and disregarded the demand for tellers.' Speaker pro tern Blackburn having taken the Chair, Mr. Willis moved that the House adiourn. 'and the Speaker, also disre garding the calls for a division, declared the motion carried. ; ; - j- The House was then called to order, land ne legislative day of Friday began. ; After reading the journal the House Pro ceeded to the consideration of business un der the new rules. The business transacted under it was not of general interest. The committee on Public Lands reported a bill to declare forfeited the entire grant of lands in aid of the Railroad, in Alabama. Girard & Mobile House calendar. The amount of land involved is 688,000 acres. The Committee on Naval Affairs report ed adversely a joint resolntion tendering the thanks of Congress to Commanders Schley and Coffin and Lieut. Emery. Laid on the table. Mr. Randall said he (was instructed by the unanimous voice of the committee on Appropriations to ask the chairman of the committee on Rivers and Harbors when be expected to Teach a final vote upon the measure under his charge. j Mr. Willis replied that the committee of the Whole had been prosecuting the consid-' eration of the bill as fast -as the rules would permit. I ; : Mr. Kandall sa'd that if tbe bill were considered to day and to-morrow it would have occupied the entire week. The House would not be free from; public criticism if the appropriation bills were not all sent to the Senate by the 25th of the month. To accomplish this the committee on Appro priations was of the opinion that it should have the right of way after Saturday night. and a serious effort would be made to pass next week the Post Ufflee, .Legislative and Sundry Civil bills. ! . Mr. Uiscocfc, or JM. x., thought that if there was not to be an extra session the appropriation bills should have the right of way now. j Private business having been dispensed with the House, at 1.45 p. m., went into committee of the Whole (Mr. Hammond, of Ga., in the chair) on tbe River and Harbor bill, and the pending amendment offered this morning by Mr. McComas, of Md., was rejected.'- - - i. . - UonslJerable bad leelinir was created or developed during the further consideration of the bill and the lie. : parliamentary, was passed between Mr. King, "of La., and Mr. Hiscock, of N.

Y., about the need of money for the improve ment otJNew York: harbor, Mr. King of fered an amendment appropriating fifteen million dollars for the improvement of Sandy Hook channel and advocated its adoption as benefitting the commerce of the entire country. j ? Mr. Hiscock said that be bad eren in the public press a statement that he was going to make an assault upon the jetty system at New Orleans, and denied that be had ever had such an intention. ; Mr. KingThe allusion of the gentleman is directed against roe. ' Mr. UiscocK 1 beg tbe gentleman's par don. I say unqualifiedly that it was not directed against the gentleman. Mr. King And X say unqualifiedly that it .was. I undei stood the gentleman from flew York himself to state in private con venation that it was his purpose to say on this floor that the jetty s bad been of no commercial value to New Orleans. I Mr. Hiscock I desire to contradict the statement that I have ever said that I had that purpose. Just so far as I can go with in the rules of the House, I desire to go, and do go in saying that I have never said that I was going to do any such thing. i Mr. King And I state so far as I may go within the rules of tbe ilouse that the statement is false. After a speech from ; Mr. 1 Hewitt on th e condition of the harbor of New York. Mr.. Kings amendment was rejected. , I Mr. Young, of Tenn., offered an amend ment appropriating $75,000 for the im provement of. Memphis harbor. He criti cised what he termed; star chamber meet ines of the committee on Rivers and Har bors, and expressed the surprise which he had felt when he learned it had been left out of the bill. He had gone to every mem ber of the committee, and the chairman was the only solitary one who did not disavow responsibility foil the action of the com mittee. - ! - Mr. Willis The statement of the gentle man is not true.

The gentleman irom Ken tucky was the only one I talked to who did not disavow resnonsibilitv for it. - I : Mr. Young proceeded to advocate his amendment, after whici Mr. Willis said that the committee had concluded not to make any special appropriation for harbors on the Mississippi river. There was a com mission to which was entrusted the expen diture of appropriations for the Mississippi river. That commission was eitner compe tent or incompetent; if incompetent it ought to be disbanded, and if it was competent it would take into consideration the -improve ment of Memphis or anv other harbor In so far as the Improvement of this harbor was necessary for the improvement of the river, the commissionJiad the right to ex pend money for that purpose. In reply to the gentleman's statement, taxing him with responsibility for the action of the oommis sion. he would sav that it was untrue, un- 1ust and ungenerous in the extreme. These remarks aroused the attention of the House, and the two gentlemen weie immediately surrounded by their-fellow-members, anx ious to hear their words, which were uttered coolly and in such low., voices as to be al most indistinguishable. "I do not think.'. isaid Mr. Young, "that the gentleman intends to apply to me the language he uses. Was that his purpose?" "I sav." replied Mri Willis, "thai when the gentleman undertakes to put upon me the responsibility of refusing this appropriation, he does state what is untrue." "I made tbe statement," said Mri Young, "that you were the onlv one who did net disavow it. I do not want any member to stand on the floor and say I state what is not true. I can take care of myself here, but I do not want that statement to go to the country under a misnndfirstjindinff.'? , .' - n Mr. Willis If the gentleman undertakes to sav that 1 was the onlv mem DC r or me comqdttee who opposed the appropriation HPA;. t arv. . iitji 1885. for Memphis and to rest the resnonsibilitv of its rejection on me, he states what is not true. ;- .-evy:-'.?" - Mr. Young Then I have to state that if .unoer nis assumption he undertakes to brand me with falsehood ' Mr. Willis The gentleman need not ea to that point.

The House then proceeded to the con sideration of business under the special rule. '" Mr. Gibson, of W. Va., rose to a ques tion of privilege and endeavored to be heard in regard to yesterday's dispute between Messrs. Young and Willis; but as he had not been immediately concerned in the matter he was not allowed to proceed. :: Mr. Young, of i Tenn., then rose to a question of personal privilege and explained that he discovered by to day's Record, and had also been assured by friends who heard him, that he had yesterday made some statements in regard to members of the River and Harbor committee which were too sweeping, and he explained what he had intended to say. t He thus modified his remarks so as to .remove any. lmuptation offensive to Chairman Willis. Mr. Willis said that a number of gentle men had called his attention to the fact that the language he employed yesterday might be susceptible of harsher construc tion than he intended. He wished to dis claim having any intention of imputing personal dishonor to the gentleman from Tennessee. Mr. Young said that he had expected such a statement from tbe gentle man, tie had not believed that the gentle man intended to reflect upon him.

The vast and accumulating mineral interests of our State demaad some such official to look after them, and we do not think the Legis lature could do better than to provide for an appointment of that kind.

Hen dricks and party reached Atlanta this morning at 4 o'clock on a special car. At half-past eight they were escorted to the Kimball House, where breakfast was served. The company they met at breakfast con sisted of about thirty prominent citizens. A large crowd was congregated about the notei. rue mavor introduced Mr. lien d ricks, who addressed the people from' the balcony. He said: "Gentlemen of the state or ueorgia Idid not expect to re ceive this welcome at your hands, to-day, I accept it as a tribute f rom a great State of this Union; a State that is firmly united witn tne great state or Indiana, from which I come, f Applause,! , I- accent lit with pleasure, because it is an honor dote me by the people themselveC We have re cently in the - North " as - well as : in the South ' passed 4 through J a great political - contest; 1 think the greatest the country has ever seen. , It has resulted. inr my- judgment, most gloriously. . The country is for the first time in a great many years to be placed under the management or, Democrats. I Applause. I 1 believe that the Change will be for the welfare not onlv of the white race, but of the colored race of .our country so many of whom I see here today, Did tou otiserve that Of the mil lions i orVotes cast the question was .finally aeciaea upon tne naiiots or 1.142 men in the State of New York - This entire coun try bad its political fortunes decided by that small vote, and when it came to be known that there was a majorit v of 1. 142 for Cleve land and Hendricks in the State of New York, it was then known that the country had gone for the Democrats, and that the difference of 1,143 votes decided the judg ment of fifty four millions of people. So grand a spectacle has never been witnessed in any country of the world It is tbe force of tbe sentiment that the majority shall gov ern, and Republicans North and South now bend their heads in respect to the judgment of the majority, as the Democrats have done in the past. And is it not an evidence of the increased union between all sections of the country ? It was not in the South .that a small difference controlled tbe vote; it was not in this empire State of Georgia that a small majority controlled fif tv-four millions ot people: but it was in a North ern State it was in New York that great and powerful State that the majority of eleven hundred and forty two was given, and North and South that became the judgment of all the people. So, I think I can say to you, that we stand in the Union more nrmly to-day than ever before, ' Applause. f ' After tbe speaking the ladies were driven around the city, and the gentlemen pro ceeded to the ball of the House of Re pre sentatives, where a reception was held and several hundred persons were presented to the vice rresident elect. Tbe party left for Birmingham at 10 o'clock and will pro ceed from there to the New Orleans Ex position. I Much enthusiasm was mani fested over Mr. Hendricks.

Nearly 92,000,000 Alleged to nave keen Stolen from tne State. Chicago. February 6. A Tribune spe cial from Frankfort, Ky., says: "Su peril-- cial investigation ot tbe records of the state of Kentucky shows beyond question that a system of robbery bas been carried on for fifteen years past which rivals anything ever heard of. At the same time -it has been conducted under cover of law. It is evident that the amount stolen will not fall far short of $3,000,000. It is not easy to get at the details by which the plunderers secured the spoils, but a simple set of fig ures readily establishes the fact that a de ficit of ttiat magnitude exists. A study or the books shows that in the department of criminal prosecutions tbe steal has reached at least a million in fifteen years. In the cost of keeping idiots during the same time there has been a steal of $500,000, while in other expenditures which have not been examined very closely, there are indications of other crookedness which msy add SouO, 000 more to the robbery. It is believed that in most cases the money can be traced to county and district . rings, which have been abetted by Jthe Legislature.'' DYNAMITERS.

When Captain Phelan appeared and Short had been led to the bar, short b counsel said be would like to know if Capt. Phelan had been searched. Judge Patterson replied that he supposed he had, but directed a police ser geant to examine him. The sergeant put his hand in among the bandages which supported Phelan's left arm and pulled out a five-chambered Colt a revolver, with a long barrel. There wasquite a sensation in the court when the revolver was discovered. Short -laughed nervously, but seemed ; rejoiced that the : weapon had been taken from Capt. Phelan. Short's counsel asked the court for an adjourn ment on the ground that he had just come from Albany and was unprepared for an examination. , On the part of tbe prosecu tion the adjournment was opposed. Judge Patterson finally sent tbe case down for Saturday next, ! The prisoner's counsel made a motion to reduce his client's bail from $3,000 to $2,000,- but the court -de nied the motion,- saying that tbe bail was none too much lor a case like this. NEW YORK.
