. GLADSTONE'S TO TVER.
Londox, April 17. A review of
the parliamentary week brings to
view with great clearness the wizard
like faculty possessed by Mr. Glad
stone of. swaying ashe pleases even
such a body as as the present House
of Commons in which he has bnt a
shadowy majority. He has secured
during the week the passage to their
second reading of three of the most
difficult bills he ever advocated with
out a division on any one of them or
a hostile word. The great achieve
ment of the week was the passage
last night of the " land passage bill.
' This- measure bad , provoked more
' bitter hostility in certain quarters
than even the Home Kale bill.
It bad caused two secessions from
- the Cabinet; i it had been denounced
in advance in Liberal clubs and at
called mass meetings and most peo
J ple believed that unless it proved to
be much milder than supposed the
Din Was doomed. When it was
broached the bill was found - to be
an uncompromising, wholesale appro
priation measure, containing all the
features which had been complained
. of and eventually increasing the na-
tional debt bv almost the maximum
amount which had been stated with
borror by its enemies. - But there
were, a few passes of Gladstone'
wand, a harmless growl from Cham-
oenain, ana a non-committal speech
ft, csel Thii
bill was also committed for second
reading. . i .
COt,. GREEN IN THE HO USE.
Kxtracte from Speech j on 1 Stn April
y! on ne Hard Case,
peaker Charles Greville, an
acute observer of the politics of his
time, speaking of the impeachment'
and. trial of Lord Melville, makes
this pertinent reflection in his admi
rable memoirs: "I was struck with
the fact that every gentleman of his
Jordshib's party thoaerht and voted
him innocent, while every one on the
other side believed and voted him
guilty." I quote from memory. :
, What a commentary that noon do
litical bias and party passion. And
yet, Mr. Speaker, a brief occupancy
xt a seat on this floor convinces me
that in the main it is well grounded.
Other things being equal it be
hooves good, simple, and sinful man
to be even like, other men, and no
better, by- mere assumption. Other
things being equal, from my poor
miserable standpoint it behooves him
to incline to- the side of his friends
when the issue is narrowed down
and evenly balanced. Other things
being equal, if ;he be a man of sense
instead of an Arcadian dreamer, he
will be content i to walk the earth in
his day and generation and leave to
others to attain to that plane of
maudlin sentimentalism which en
joins self-immolation and party im
molation to evokS the open acclaim
but covert sneer of his friends the
enemy.- Far be it from me, sir. to
enjoin literal imitation of those who,
judged by the Tecord, hold party
fealty paramount to the ten laws of
Israel's inspired leader, or the nine
and thirty articles of a later epoch

Ay, Mr. speaker, l am not ashamed
to proclaim myself a party man, or,
if yon prefer, a partisan, to the point
that Belt-contempt would be my le
gitimate portion did party foes praise,
pity, or otherwise cajole me. And
so, Mr. Speaker, I approach this
question with a degree of bias con
gest which some others feel but fain
would smotherjor conceal; and yet I
trust I appfoach it f dispassionately
and with as honest purpose as any on
this floor to be guided by facts and
the rules of evidence. 1 approach it
by a full conviction, 'sustained by the
facts of the case, that the contestant
is entitled to the seat he is claiming
But . were I hampered with a doubt,
Heaven foref end that 1 should stretch
my conscience to give the benefit of
that doubt to the other side.
That party which wins in a nation
al struggle should stickle for party
unity and brotherly! accord; and to
insure it, should i have its; parts and
props congenial. Antagonistic com
position implies-discord, and discord

the Committee on Military Affairs, the rales
were suspended and a bill was passed to
reimburse the National Home for disabled
volunteers for losses incurred through the
failure of the Exchange National Bank of
Norfolk. Va. . ; i
Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, from the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs, moved to suspend
the rules and adopt a resolution making the
bill to increase the naval establishment the
continuing special order from Thursday,
23d of April, until Tuesday, 27th of April,
on which latter day the previous question
shall be considered as ordered It excepts.
however, appropriation bills, prior special
orders, public lands bills and private bills
on Friday, which shall not bo antagonized.
Mr. Herbert appealed for consideration
of the great question involved in the reso
lution. Our cities by the sea were abso
lutely at the mercy of any foreign Power.
Brazil could successfully bombard any city
on the Atlantic coast, while Chili could
successfully bombard San Francisco. Both
parties were committed to an increase of the
naval estabiisnment ana on no pretence
should the bill be allowed to fail, j
Mr. Morrison opposed the resolution on
the ground that, as the bill would be
crowded out by excepted measures until
the 27th. the House would be called upon
to vote on a measure which involved the
expenditure of millions of dollars after but
a snort debate. i i
Mr. Holman objected to the Naval Estab
lishment bill, becauss it would displace
measures or greater public interest; rand
forfeiture bills. r
Mr. Hewitt, of N. Y-, said that in refus
ing to give a day to the consideration of the
Naval Establishment bill, the House would
be trifling with a grave and important ques
tion - The country was lamentably deficient
in the measure, and it was a grave question
in negotiations with foreign countries wbe
tber the United States could take a stand
on public Questions which the interest and
dignity of a great country demanded.
The motion to suspend tne rules and
adoDt the resolution was lost 119 to

Mr. Dibble, of 8. C, from the Commit
tee on.. Public i Buildings and Grounds.
moved to suspend the rules and adopt the
resolution setting apart tne otn of May and
succeeding days for the consideration of
tmblic building measures. Mr. Dibble ex
plained that these' measures involved an
expenditure of about four millions. . i
Mr. Blount, or ua., earnestly opposed
the resolution because it set apart an un
limited time for the consideration or an un
limited number of bills. It wasthein&u
guration of a march on the Treasury such
as no Congress had ever tolerated Deiore.
Mr. Dibble inquired wnetner tne gentle
man nad not supported a propoBiuon as
broad as the pending one at the last session
nf finn press? -i- - I - ; t
Mr. Blount replied that there had been
no sucn. proposition preseniea. t me pro
. nri
position there had been to fix one day for
the consideration, of bills, while the pro
position to-day was that public -business
should ba suspended to allow Congress to
go on appropriating for any public build
incr that anvbodv wanted.
Mr. Dibble said that the gentleman mis-
annrehended the character of tbe resolution
adopted at the last Congress. He quoted
from the record to snow tnat tnat resolu
tion made public building bills the! special
order, and remarked: "The question was
taken by yeas and nays, and (sarcastically)
by some accident I. suppose the name of
the gentleman from Georgia, (Blount) is
recorded in the affirmative." Laughter.
Mr. McMillen, of Tenn.i" declared that
only three or four bills had passed the
House by virtue of that resolution, and
that then the order, had broken dowh under
the weight of its own rottenness.
Mr. Dibble replied that the order had
broken down because the small minority of
the House had filibustered against its exe
cution. He asserted ,that it would be in
the interest of public business to have tbe re
solutions adopted, as it would prevent the
recurrence of the practice of passing pub
lic building measures during the expiring
hours of -Congress, whether recommended
bv tbe committee or not. Was tbe House
afraid of itself I Were the gentlemen
afraid that the House' would run away
with the Treasury on its back r -
Mr. Blount pointed out that the resolu
tion for which he had voted during the last
Congress was not similar to the One now
under consideration . The former had had
reference to bills then in Committee of the
Whole or on the Speakers table, while the
latter referred to any. bill the committee
might reobrt in the future.
The motion to suspend the rules and
adopt the resolution Zwas lost yeas 142,

calendar. The report accompanying the
bill states that nearly 2,000,000 men and
women have petitioned the legislatures of
the different States for similar laws and up
to the present year the wishes of the people
have been complied with in fourteen States.
As an evidence-that people earnestly de
sire a law like the one suggested, the
commit We. points to a fact that pe
titions bearing on their face tbe names
of 71,276 persons have been presented to
this Con cress asking for its enactment.
The effect of similar laws in different
States where they have been in force has,
in the opinion of. the committee, proven
most salutary. Such laws lead to progress
and serve to check tbe threatening evil to
humanity and general welfare.- The report
argues that the but invades no ngoi oi seu
government. The measure had the vital
merit of involving no political significance
of the people. It was difficult to see how
any objection could be raised to such a
statute, except by those who feared to have
the next generation educated upon a sub
ject universally recognized to be of most
vital importance to individual neaun and
social security.

endar. The report says tnat ine soldiers
and sailors of the country have tor years
demanded this change in the law; and the
committee thinks that the demand is just
and reasonable. A minority report is sub
mitted by Messrs. Clements of Ga., and
Bianchard of La., in which argument is
made that an amendment of the law would
be a violation of -the alleged fundamental
principle of the civil service law, that ap
pointments should be made alone upon
merit, ascertained by competitive examina
tion. .
The morning hour was consumed in an
ineffectual effort on the part of Mr. Forney,
of Alabama, to secure consideration of the
bill for the relief of the Alabama -flood
sufferers; and then -the House went into
Committee of the. Whole on tbe tviver and
Harbor Appropriation bill.
Smooth progress was inauo in tne but
until an obstacle was reached in a proviso
authorizing the Secretary of War to accept
for the united States, from tbe Marine
Hospital of Erie, Penn., the title to the
peninsula of Presque lsie. at Erie. Against
this proviso Mr. Hammond, of Ga. , raised
the paint of order that it bad no place in
the River and Harbor bill. Arguments in
support of the point were presented by
Messrs. Hewitt, of JN.x.. and bpringer, oi
111., while; Messrs. Bayne and Scott, of
Pa . took a different view of tbe case, i ne
point was finally overruled by the Chair,
who was satisfied that possession of the
Peninsula by the United States was an ele
ment in tne worK ot improving tne naroor
of Erie, and a motion to strike out the pro
viso was rejected by the Committee. A
number of motions to strike out items
already in the bill, and to insert new ones
and to increase others already in, were lost.
No chanee whatever was made in tne bill
as far as progress was made. Mr. Skinner,
of N. C, made several efforts to increase
the appropriations for harbors in North
Carolina, but without success.
The Committee rose, and the House at

Washington, April 21. Mr. Cail offered
a resolution, which on bis motion was re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee, direct
ing that committee to inquire whether any
legislation is necessary, and, if so what, to
require United States Courts when they
take possession of railroad property in any
State, to carry into ettect tne obligations oi
the charter of incorporation granted by
such State, and to prevent the violation of
same by such courts and officers thereof,
and waste and wrongful appropriation of
the assets and receipts of such corporation
in the interest of individuals.
In offering the resolution Mr. Call re
ferred to his recent speech on Florida land
grants, especially in connection with tbe
Florida Railroad Co., in wnicn speecn be
had commented . on the course pursued by
the United States Court, and the conduct of
the receiver appointed by it. Mr. Call
read a letter, received by him froth the - re
ceiver, which stated that the information
on which some of Mr. Call s statements
were founded was false and malicious. Mr.
Call said he had no reason to suppose
the receiver was not - an honorable and
truthful man, but was obliged to add that
tbe gentleman from whom he (Call) had re
ceived the information was equally honor
able and truthful, and if the facts were as
stated the Judiciary Committee should give
the matter serious consideration.

in the morning nour tne House resumed
consideration of the bill : for the relief of
Alabama flood sufferers; and it was sup
ported by Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, who
thought the House was justified under pre
cedents inrougn numanuy in giving reiiei.
Mr. Beach, ot JNew xork, while be was
willing to put his hand in his own pocket
for the relief of Alabama sufferers, was not
willing to indulge bis sympathy or benevo
lence bv putting his hands into the pockets
of others. It was time that a stop should
be nut to this kind of legislation, and it
was the Democratic party which should
put a stop to it.
- The- morning hour expired without ac
tion being taken on the bill, which resumes
its Dlace on the calendar. - . :
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole on the River and Harbor Appro
priation but. "' :
. On motion of Mr. Markham. of Cala.
the appropriation for a survey of San Fran
cisco naroor, Ban jrabio ( bay. ouizun Day
and the mouths of the San Joaquin and
Sacramento rivers, was reduced from $30,-
000 to $11,000.. This was done in accord
ance with the recommendation of the sup
plementary report of the Chief of Engi
neers. Any number of amendments were
offered for an increase of existing items or
the insertion ofmew ones, but no others of
the California kind. 'All ware unsuccessful.
Mr. Negley of Pa., raised the point of
Order against the clause of the . bill which
directs the Secretarv of War to negotiate
for the purchase of the works of the Mo-
nongahela .Navigation company, or in we
exercise of his discretion to acauire them
by condemnation or seizure. A long and
somewhat heated debate over this clause
followed. Finally that portion of the clause
was stricken out which gives the Secretarv
oi war aiEcretionary power to seize the
works of the Navigation Company. 4
. Pending further action the Committee
rose, and thefllouse at 5.20 adjourned. ."

A LITTLE SUFFERER
Cleansed, Purified, and Beautified by
-:. : the CuticuxaEemedies ; .
It affords me pleasure to give you this report :
of the cure of our little grandchild by yourCn
ticubjl Kxkbdibs. When six months old bis left -hand
began to swell, and had every appearance , -of
a large boll. We poulticed it, but all to no
purpose. About five mouths after it became- a
running sore.- Soon other sores formed- He then
had two of them on each hand, and as his blood
became more and more Impure it took less timo
for them to breakout. A sore came on the chin. "
beneath the under lip, which was very offensive. -His
head was one solid soab, discharging a great
ueau. xuus was nis condition at twenty-two -
months old. when I undertook the care of him. -hla
mother having died when he was a little mora
than a year old. of consumption (sorolula of
oouree ) He oonld walk a little, bat oould dol -get
up if he fell down, and oould not move when -In
bed, having no use of his hands. I Immedi
ately commenced with the CurronRA Hmmmca
using the Cuticub and Ccticuba uoap freely. .'
and when he had taken one bottle of the Ctm - -cctba
Bxsolvht, his head was completely cured .
and he was Improved In every way. We wer
very much encouraged, and continued the use
of the Bemedies for a year and a naif. One sore -after
another healed, a bony matter forming in
each one of thftfut Sva 1een nn!i Innt. hAf nn. .
healing, whloh would finally grow loose and were
taken out; theu they would heal rapidly. One of "
these ugly bone formations I preserved. After
taking a dozen and a half bottles he was coma
pletely cured, and is now, at tbe age of six year
a strong and healthy child. The soars on his
hands must always remain; his hands are strong,
though we onoe feared he would never be able .,
to use them. An that nhvaielana did for him AM
blm no good. All who saw the child before using
tnevuTicuRA ksxkdbds ana seethe child now
oonslder it a wonderful cure. If the above facts
are of any use to you, you are at liberty to use
them. MRS. E. 8. DKIOGS,

he appeared to his grandmother, who, being with
him every day, became aooustomed to tue dis
