TO PROTECT MICA.
The Committee on WayM and
Means IjHlemt to. AruumenlH,
Washington, Jnnunry 16. The wafva
and means committee to-dny (juve its
Inst public licui-iug ol kt8(iiib interesled
in the tariff ciueation. One or two Bcn-
tlcmcn interested in the (In lies on luinlier
and coucr were heunl and aiiiititadoneii
(jave their viewa upon the propriety of
placiiiK a duty upon mien or putting it
on the free lint. Manufacturers of stoves
were the pnneipnl advocates ol putting
it on the free list. T.ie electrical iustru
mei.t mnnnluctures also wnnted it free.
One of these snid the American mica
could not be split into ns line sheets as
loreiKn mica.
George H. Randall, a C.riil'ton, N, II.,
mica mine owner, took the stand and
contradicted the statements of the pre
vious witnesses, lie had lieen in the
business twenty-seven years, and had
never nenrn until tne question ol amy
came uit of a simile fault bcinc found
with the clcn vnire of American mira. He
exhibited a numlicr of speciinens blasted
from his mine, which he said were lully
counl to the forciun products. Niarly
all the mica mines in the Cnited States
had been compelled to shut down within
tlic last lour years owing to loreigncom
petition, and unless a duty was imposed
it was "koihI bve" to American mica
mines. He asked a duty of $1 n pound.
Col. J. M. Gerr, of South Carolina,
wanted u duty on mica.
Congressman liwurt, of North Caro
lina, read a statement tir)nnK u protective
duty on micu. The mica market of the
I'nited States was now controlled by
half starved miners of India, and he
wanted a duty that would make up the
diltcrctice in liilmr. He had introdiKid u
bill lixinK a sHi'itic duty of fifty centB
kt pound, but n consultntion witn mien
mine owners in North Carolina led him
to believe that the rate was too low.

The Wabssh River RlHlnyr.
Cairo, 111., January 1 6. Three hundred
liersous ut the car mill have lieen com
IR'lltd to leave their homes by a sudden
rise in the Little Wulmsh river, und it is
feared thut a still larger number will In
forced to abandon their dwellings and
lake to high ground. The river is out of
its banks nnd the northern part of tin
town is flooded to a depth of twenty lift
in tome place and from 75 to 100 houses
have been submerged. The houses have
all been vacated and the people are seek
ing refuge in the spare room of their
neighbors in the southern part of the
town. Vast stretches of lowland and
meadow are underwater, and a number
of animals have been carried away or
drowned in the fields. The finer rail,
boards and other drift borne down the
stream by thernging wntcrsindicntrthnt
the farmer have suffered severely. Much
hav on the bottom lands has Inx-n ruined.
It is reported that the worst is yet to
come and that the people in the towns
along the Little Wabash are prcpuriug
for the worst. At Corwin it is exiected
that the river will rise tilteen feet higher
If this does lui)icn the result will be n
pnlling. A Televraph Company Fall.

The senate has missed the concurrent res
olution reported from the eominiitcc on
nuance reiiucsting tne sei-relarv ol the
Treasury not to take any steps towards
making n new lease of the seal fisheries
until alter February zo.
Among the bills reported from t lie com
mittee nnd placed on the calendar were
tlirlollowitig: Approprin ling $40,000 lor
a statue hi Washington of James Madi
son: for the removal of the Indian pris
oners in the cast (Geroninio's band) to
Fort Sill, lutliuil territory.
The Senate then took up the bill intro
duced by Mr. Butler on iAicnilier 12, to
provide for the emigration ol persons of
color Ironi tne Mititliern Mates.
Mr. Butler proceeded to address the
senate. lie proposed to discuss the sul
jeet, he said, entirely outside of pai ty
lincs. and to make a Irank, dispassionate
statement of facts and experiences. II
other took it upon themselves to give par
tisan or sectional coloring, the rcsnonsj.
Iiility would rest with (hem. To his mind
it was too grave n subject to betlislorted
by party considerations or confined
within the narrow boundaries and limits
of party lines. It rose above party or

sections. Ctipiditv had brought the Af
rican here, cupidity had inveigled the Chi
naman here, and euiiiditvhad driven him
out, The Indian had I urn here and would
not lie reduced to slavery, und so the In
dian was hounded and corralled. lie was
hounded and corralled now, but he was
still here, and what were we to do with
the Indian? Make n ciiizcn ol him? Give
him the ballot, with full civil and politi
cal rights? Why not? The Indian was
here lielore the white man, the African or
the Mongolian. He spoke of the grant
ing of suffrage to the colored man a a
crate which had come on the hem of bat
tle; but us having Ix-en neither wise nor
judicious. But the act was done and lie
could not sec now now it was to In- un
done. He would not discuss the rcsixin
sibiliiy for it. lie would admit for the
sake of argument that both sections nnd
I mi th iMihln-nl parties were responsible.
Some iK-rsons who Held u high rank in
the intellectual world held that in tin
history ol the African nice in this coun
try was to lie seen the hand of God for
the accomplishment of a great purpose
in another hemisphere. Uveitis, Mr.
Ilullcr said, nina-ared to Ix-slmping them
selves in a manlier to justify such a con-
elusion. The race question raised by
chance changing the altitude of the two
races toward earli other was burning
evidence that the issue was not confined
to any locality, section or party. What
was to become of the '.'ihi.iioo Indians in
this country mid of the 100,000 China
men wax li dillicull problem, but the
most profound inquiry applied directly
to the pending bill, and that was what
was to Ik the fate of the six or eight mil
lioas of iiciocs in this country. They
were citizens; thev hail the ballot; tlu-y
had all the civil and political riubls
which the white men had, and which
were denied to other colored nice.
Would the colored people in the I'nited
Stntes, he nsked, Ik nlile to maintain
themselves on nn equal footing with the
white men. and so as not to icopariliic
the well being of American institutions?
The opinion apn-nrcd tolie growing that
they could not. An honest t Hurt should
lie made to ascertain why nut and to de
termine what was liest tit In- done. The
interest of both races minimi that the
problem should be cnrcUilly weighed nnd
Inirly dealt with. He coiiiisscd that the
problem oppressed him with its gravity
and ditlicullies It was too serious to Ik
trilled with and too urgent to lie ignored
or neglected.
Mr. Hutu r relcrred to the absence ol
the colored people trom nllhiuh iHisititiu
in this country nnd saw in that fact the
orool ol all unrclentiHi!. unlorgivuig. in
curable race prejudice. If nnyliody, he
said, had predicted before the war that
tne Miutuern mate wouiii, witiuti a icw
years, be represented in both house ol
congress by men who wen- then slaves
he would have been laughed at ami De
rided as a ncgpiphilial, ami if, after
many negroes were in congress, it had
Ix-en predicted that in ten year not one
negro would Ik sitting in cither house
the prediction would have had few Ik
lirvcrs. Anil so il uuv one nn-dictcd to
day that within half a century not it full
blooded, genuine negro would lie found
in the I'nited Stales, he would not lx- be
lieved ; mid yet there were nun who ex
pected that very thing.. It was unsiilc.
therefore, to enter the domain of proph
ecy on the quest iun. The scenes sliillcd

with such unforeseen precipitation that
he Ix-ciimc almost dumbfounded by the
historic kaleidoscope, and was impressed
with the profound sense ol human Humil
ity to shape and control event.
The lull, lie Mini, coiiteuipiatetl tne
gradual, orderly, voluntary movement ol
t he colored people out of the Soul hern
Stale, and provided government aid to
enable thrin to do so. If he were called
ux)ii for nutlioiity whereby congress
could prox-rly make such an appropria
tion ol money he should point to the ni
priipriations'madc to aid the Indian in
moving out of the Northern, Middle nnd
Southern States, and to the appropria
tions to exclude Cliinntncn. It apix-ared
to him that it would lx- a prox-r exercise
of the constitutional power of congress
to appropriate moiiev fur the national
or general wcltare. Tliccitiircusliipol the

Mr. Hoar replied to Mr. Butler, char
acterixing his protosition a the most
astonishing that had ever Ix-en heard in
the legislative history of the senate.
Mr. HliiirsMikc against the bill, which
be declared to lx- cither a innnilcst impos
sibility or an absurdity.
Thr'bill then went over without action.
It will be called up again next Tuesday,
probably, when Mr. Ingall will address
the senate in opposition in it.
Mr. Pasco gave notice that on Monday
next he would address the senate ontlic

Mr. Pugh desired to hiivcthcntithority

troduced u bill, directing the secretary of
war to investigate the claims tor the use
of church and school buildings by the
I'nited States troopsduringthe rebellion.

Mr. McKiulcy, from the committee on
rules, reported a resolution for the n
pointmcnt of u committee on the World'
Fair, to consist of thirteen mcmlwr,
which committee shall within three days
report n plan by which the house can de
termine the Bite of the proposed fair; and
subsequently report a bill providing for
the fair.
Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, as a minority
of the committer reported a substitute
resolution us follows:
"Whereas, on the lHth nud -'0th (lavs
of DccemlKT, and at other tunes, the
house referred to the committee on foreign
affairs, divers bills, (x-titions and me
morials, touching on the protected
World's Fair of ISOL', thereby, giving
lull jurisdiction to I lint committee of the
whole subject matter, and the said com
mittee bus given exhaustive considera
tion to the same,
"Resolved, That the committee on for
eign ufliiirsla instructed to report n resolu
tion providing n met hod of selecting the lo
cality of the World's Fair ol 18UJ, by a
vote of the house of representatives. First,
whether said fair shall lx- held east or
west of the Alleghany mountains
Second, the selection ol the place lor
locating of said fair.
"After such a vou-shall have been taken
the committee ut the earliest possible
day shall report the bill providing for the
World's l air in lhii.', to ix- iiciu at the
place selected asalMive provided."
Immediately n lively debale Ix-gan in
which the friends of each of the citicscon-u-sting
for the location ol the fair look
part.
Mr. Hilt, of Illinois, chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs, favored the
substitute resolution, and testified to the
vigorous und faithlul work which that
committee had performed in relercnce to
the projected World' Fair. Thenute
having Ix-en selected by the house com
mittee, it could within twenty-four hour
report a plan lur the fair which would lx-
satisfaetorv to all memlx-rs of the house.
Mr. Marrow, of Cablorma, took the
some view, declaring that the committee
on loreign nlVairshad proceeded diligently
and cffcclivcly to the consideration of
the question. He inn ted n ripple of
laughter by asserting that, no matter
what site was selected, the real exhibi
tion would lx- held in the city, which
he had the honor to represent, ban
Frnncisco did not rely on artificial aid.
It would be the site of an exhibition
without any assistance on the part of
congress.
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, favored the
majority resolution. He raid that, prior
to the appointment of the committee on
loreign affairs, the gentlemen represent
ing the competing cities had en lend into
a compact that the Sx-cial committee
should lx- created. All St. Louis asked
was that n special committee should lx-
nniMitnted bv the stx-akerand that that
committee should contain an equal num-
lx-r ol Irienils ol the lour cities competing
fur the fair. The gentlemen might rest
issured that no representative ol Mis
souri ami no friend of St. Louis would
ask that that city should have any ad
vantage. She needed none. II licr Irienils
could not secure the site without violat
ing the compact, St. Louis did not want
il. He asked that the ngiwmcnt lx- cur
ried out in good faith and that the ma
jority report be adopted.
Mr. : pringcr, ot Illinois, ociik-u tiiai
that there had Ix-en any compact be
tween the representatives of the comix-ting
cities. It was true that they had
agreed to request the sxaker to cull a
meeting of the committee on rules in or
der to create a six-cuil committee, but
the only intention of that agreement
was that the committee might sit dur

er' nrgument n a "sixx-ial pleading.
1 he representatives did not know that
the gentlemen thev had t mi led with
were looking around lor loop nole
through which to crawl out ul nn hou-
iriible contract.
Mr. Springer denied that there had
Ix-en any compact. He denied the right
of uny gentlemen to meet in a hotel par
lor and make a compact to bind the mem
ber ot the house.
Mr. Hatch replied thnt if the represent
atives ot Llucago Had not intcutlcit to
keep the compact thev should never have
invited the honorable men to meet them.
Mr. Turner, of New in k. strongly op
posed Mr. Caution's proM,siliou that
the house should first vote on the ques
tion of hx-atiiig tlx- site cast or west of
lire Alleghany mountains. Il wn an
unfair attempt to force the nicnilx-rs liv
ing west of the Alleghnnie to
vote to hold the World' Fair west of
those mountains, and then the friends of
Chicago exacted those living east to go
to their help. Who hud ever lx-fore
heard ol dividing the cast against the
west. It was bad enough when the
south divided against the north. Here
was n proposition to form unotlicr sec
tional line and il came in the guise of lair
iilav.and those who were uutortuiialc
enough to Ik in the minority I though il
was u strong minority I who livid cast
it the Allcghiimvs stood in their places
to object to the uuiiiitural alliance
against their rights. (Applause. I
Mr. Crisp criticised Air. Cannon'
proHiition that the house should vote
on liK-ating t lie liiireast or west of the Alle
ghnnie its iKing unfair to Wnsliiugtoniind
New York. The "compact" between the
representative of the four citie was
again brought into discussion and some
sharp sparing occurred iKlween Mr.
Hatch and Mr. Cannon. Finally Mr.
Cannon muddied his resolution by strik-
ino out the clause rrouirnm a vole to oe
first taken on limiting the fair east or
west of the Alleghany mountains. The
vote was taken on substituting Mr. Can
non's resolution fort bnt reported by Mr.
McKinlev nud it wn. dclcntcd; yea 140,

Mr. Springer, (rising to question, of
privilege I said limi ne una Kept ciose
inllv ol the vote and hi tally did not
ngrec with the ollicinl tally, without Im
pugning any one lie asked lor a recount.
The recount reversed the lonner rcult
and the substitute wn agreed to, yens
131 nays 134. Then much contusion en
sued ns to the next step to Ix-tnkcn in par
liamentary proceeding. Many mcmlKt-s
contended that the next vote should be
taken on Mr. Mckinley s resolution ns
n mended bv the substitution ol Mr. Can
non' resolution, but the Sienker held
the oilier way and stated that the next
vote was upon substituting the majority
resolution, (as amended) lor the original
resolution. It wns referred to the com
mittee on rule. Th vote was wutcbed
with intense interest, and when it was
known, ut the end ol the roll call, that
the resolution had been delented by a tie
vote. Mr. Springer, who hudj voted in
the nfhrmitive, changed his vote to the
negative, in order to Ik able to move for
a reconsideration. The substitute was
rejected, yeas 133, nays 13f. Mr.
Springer moved to reconsider, and Mr,
McKinley moved to lay that motion on
the table, pending which the house at
.uu adjourned.

Tlw Ohl Year has drawn to a close,
nnd with the beginning of the New Year
we wish to thnnh the public Cor their
imtroimgc und recognition of our efforts
to ilo our full duty. We are fully con
scious that it is to them that we owe ihe
iinvxiKctetl success of the past year, in
which our business litis lieen more than
doubled, and we am only regard it as a
new evidence thut our business maxims
ate such as to cause our customers to
have confidence in us and attract those
who ure cautions in dealing with any
Pharmacist until they have become fully
assured of the nuture and extent of his
business principles. In out dealing with
the public we realize that the most scru
pulous cure and honesty are paramount
in importunce. If these ure virtues in
all onlinary business transactions, they
liecotne sucrvd duties in Pharmacy, and
without them no one can he a true Phar
macist. The health, maybe the hie, ot
those dealing with the Apothecary de
pends upon them. He consider it our
most sacred duty to shun adulterations
and spoiled as well as inferior drugs.
They constitute an evil from which Phar
macy suffers no less than the public. The
evil is not a new one, inaugurated in late
years; it has existed as long as there
were men whose cupidity was stronger
than tlieir sense of justice, and it will
doubtless continue as long as there may
he men with conceptions of business so
vagueihut tbeyexKct to purchase gold
for the money value of dross. Tltere are
no other moral principles required lor
transacting a Pharmaceutical business
than are necessary for any other business.
Unwavering integrity that remains unin
fluenced by the visions of gold along the
road of questionable or deceitful prac
tices is the only foundution for success
that is worthy the name; it is so in
every pursuit, and more particularly in
Vharmncy, whereas a matter of neces
sity it must he combined with constant
vigilance in all directions, so as t secure
all possible safeguards.
These are the principles which we have
cntleavoretl to live up to, ami to which
we trust our increasing success is due.
We hope our former pattona will show
the same kindness towatd us in the fu
ture that they have in the past, knowing
thut no action ol ours will ever make
them regret a continuance ol their fa
vors. Yours truly.
