Losdon, Jan. 11.- The steamer Barnard Castle has floated: The barque Day Star, from New Or- leans,! put into Crook Haven, having lost two men overboard. She afterward went ashore, and now has ten feet of water in the hold. The rimes' Berlin despatch says: "For some time there past sinister rumors have been afloat that the Chaucellor was cast ine about for power to prevent members of the Reichstag- from using unbecoming ex pressions in the highest representative as sembly Torhe land, and to-night (Thurs day ) all Berlin has been put into commo tion b t he publication of a document which leaves no doubt as to the intentions oi this strong-willed man. l his is no less than an outline of the bill aiming at the Federal JCouncil, and it must necessarily taite sucn a prominent, piace in the history of civil liberty that I do not hesitate to transmit it to you entire." The document bears the date of Fried- richsruhe, December 31st. It places the power of punishment of members of the Reichstag in the hands of a committee com posed" of two V ice-Presidents and ten members of the Reichstag, which will meet at the order of the President of the House, or on ainotion of twenty members. The committee will be authorized to inflict pen alties, xiz,: first, to order a member to re ceive a public reprimand; second, to oblige the offender to make an apology before the assembled House third to exclude the guilty Deputy from the Reichstag for a fixed period. Should this exclusion extend to the entire term of the Legislature the v members so punished may also be liable to lose the right- f' being elected to' the Reichstag, and, further, an independent motion in faror of depriving a deputy of I his right of election, may be brought for ward in the House, j if the unbecoming conduct of which member of the Reich- staj ie pronounced to have been guilty, in voltes action punishable by the common law, the deputy in- question may be handed over to the indicial authoritv to be dealt with according to law simultaneously with the infliction of suchi punishment by the !

Franz Dunkey exmember of the German Prussian Parliament, has been prosecuted by the Prussian ministry for writing an article in the Volks Zietuny on the 15th of August criticizinsr the anti-Socialist bill, and has been-Jned two hundred marks. The Viceroy of India telegraphs to day that General Stewart on the 8th received news that the Government of Candahar, with most of the Cabul officials had fled toward Herat, and that the garrison had been disbanded. - The British troops will march through Candahar to day. The correspondent of the Daily Nets at Berlin says : "The rejection of the bill is generally predicted, but I am quite con vinced that it will be adopted without essential modification in spite of the fine words-of the liberals. Prince Bismarck Is as yet master of the situation. Tha Standard -says -"that it has reason to believe that Mr. jUladstohe has decided to accept the invitation to contest Mid lothian at the next election. A dispatch from Rome to the Daily News says : The Pope's encyclical letter occupies seven columns of the Osservative Romano. The Pope inveighs against so cialism, communism Nihilism which rail'-' tate no longer secretly,, but openjy at. or against a civil state, rupturing the matri monial tie, ignoring the rights 'of property and claiming everything, however, legally interested or honestly acquired, and at tempting even the lives of Kings. These sinister atrencies snrunsr from the reforma- tian which opened the sluice gates of scep ticism till the godless and tyrants have arisen wherever the Author and Redeemer of the world is ignored. The youths are trained to believe that man's destinies are bounded by the present and without any hereafter, hence the impartial and aggressive spirit which seeks its gratification at others ex pense.

Wnen tyiany prevails then . the church shields the oppressed : wnen the tyran is too strongs . i enjoins resignation, rhe Fope justifies Christian and subservience of woman to man, f child to parent, and of -servant to master. Such interdependence rightly, observed in state as in family would ope rate on earth as it does in heaven. ihe poverty ot which rbociaiism is impatient is corrected by the church, which, besides her own charities, enjoins alms-ffivinsr on the rich to whom she thus reconciles the poor. Such is the solution of the evils tor which socialism seeks revolutionary remedy. Let, therefore all the principalities and powers accept the church as the saieguaru or earthly and surety of heavenly things. St. Petersburg, Jan. 11. The Jour nal St. Petersburg tp-day says the Ameer of Afghanistan entered Russian territory not in consequence of. the success of the British but in brder to irivoke the media turn oi Kussia. 1 he Ameer will receive sympathetic hospitality but the idea- o mediation is an illusion, upon the cleaning upon of which will probably depend the continuation of his "journey. Berlin, Jan. 11. the bill on the sua iect of the parliamentary discipline was pretty unanimously condemned by the lib-1 prnl nnd mndpriite nress of Berlin, and the I interior conservative organs are reticent. The National Zeituna has an article, ! which, for that paper is almost ferocious, i sajs: Ironically, that tault oi the meas ure is, that it does not go far enough that it would have been more honest and better to propose a complete abolition of the parliament, and the substitution of the dictator, and that the free legislature and such law are irreconcilable. - The Teller Committee. New Orleans, Jan. 11. Judge Reeves. of Tensas parish, testified before the Teller committee, regarding the fusion organiza tion in the parish, and the trouble at Fair fax Jlouse. This "was the starting point of th;e trouble, and the question became no longer a political one, but a contest be tween the whites aud blacks. "William A. Levy, of. Caddo, lawyer and editor of the Standard, considered Attor ney Leonard responsible for the trouble in the late election, and is now accusing us of doing what lie advocated in the past years. Ihe election was'lair and peace able, and the negroes voted without mo lestation. Thomas S. Kelly, colored, was called, and said he was employed as Governor Kellogg's messenger in December, 1876, and, on being asked whether he forged the names of Jefferson and Levice on the Presidential certificate, and, on being pressed for an answer, said that before he answered he wished to consult his counsel. Having allowed him until Tuesday to frame a response, the committee adjourned until that time.

The House then adjourned. The committee on ways and means this morning "went through the testimony sub mitted on the sugar tariff question, but arrived at no conclusion. In his prayer this moraine the Chaplain feelingly alluded to the death of Mr. Schleicher of Texas, and invoked divine protection on the remaining members of the House. The Potter committee, by a party, vote of six Democrats and the Republicans, adopted a resolution that the chairman re turn to the counsel of Secretary Sherman, the affidavit of Sf. lartin, the former deputy sergeant-at-arms of the committee, confessing that "he had sworn falsely be fore the: sub-committee, and casting impu tations upon Representative Stener in that connection, and that he further inform Sherman that St. Martin will be examined touching the matter embraced in the affi davit, should the same be devised by Sher man or ony member of the committee.

The proposi tion, it is understood, emanates from sev eral general officers of the army. They have not taken definite action on the sub ject, and their recommendation, in any event, will require the concurrence of a majority of the full cbmmiitee. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill will also be ready for action by the committee early next week. Commissioner Raum has a telegram from Collector Gray, of Raleigh, N.

A caucus of the Republican Senators was to-day called by Senator Edmunds, to take action on the sorder of the business, and a committee on the subject was ap pointed to report at a future meeting! There was also an interchange of views on the political questions, as tp what would best advance the interests of the Republican party. The resumption of specie payments was a .matter ot general congratulation, and was claimed as a' meas ure originating with' and carried out by that party, and which was successful, not withstanding the persistent efforts of the Democratic party to defeat it. A sub ject of protecting all citizens, particularly those of the bouth, in their rights under the Constitution, was . earnestly discussed, all agreeing that the Enforcement of the laws for this pnrpose would materially strengthen the party which had always advocated the doctrine of equal rights. 'Presidential Timber in 'Ohio." Gen Thomas Ewing has heretofore been considered a rival, or at least an opponent, of senator 1 hurmaa in the democratic politics of Ohio, but at. the 8th of January banquet at Columbus he seems to have raised the Thurman standard. In his ban quet speech, Mr. Ewing said the demo cratic leader in the next presidential con test -'must be one who is with the people, heart and soul, who has a backbone, and who, if duly elected, will be the President.',' He said "modest Ohio has sons ht tor the occasion she grows presidential timber her woods are full of it." and indicated Senator Pendhf tou and ex-Governor Allen as worty of the presidency, after which he concluded as follows ; , But uppermost in the general thought in Ohio and. throughout the United States' stands Thurman the FaBius Maximus of the Ohio democracy.

An Ambitions Skater Boating Matters. Boston-, Jan. 11. George II. Alton, last night, started to skate twentv-four hours at the -rink without rest. At a meeting of the Harvard University Boat Club, Thursday night, Oxford and Cornell letters were read, and resolutions passed approving the action of the execu tive committee in regard to the Cornell matter. It was announced that on the failure to arrange the English race the old crew had broken np. and Richard Trum bull had been elected captain to succeed BancroftIt was announced that Gar field, of t$e N.

Indiana Democrat Hold a Can eu and Throw np their Hat for Tilden. Sptcial iJUjich to the PhtladttpkU Timtt. Ikxdiaxapolis, Jan. 6. Indiana politi cal circles are considerably disturbed to day over reports of the caucus of abont thirty leading Democrats from all parts of the State, which took place at the Bates House, and which is known to4 have ex pressed decided preference for Tildtn' over Hendricks as the next candidate for the Presidency. It was freely asserted in the conference that if Governor Til den could explain satisfactorily the cipher telegrams he would be far more available as a candidate than the Indiana favorite. Governor Hendricks has met with severe financial losses during the past few years and is not able to furnish the sinews of wax for a vigorous Rational campaign, it was argued. No dissent from these senti ments was expressed in the caucus. Gov ernor Hendricks' friends feel much cha grined at the reports that have been cir culated and call attention t the fact that not a Democrat from - Indianapolis was present at tne couierence. I he e lection of Voorhees to the United States Senate next week is now believed to be assured. The action of the different caucuses leaves little doubt that he will be chosen on the first or second ballot.. ltenicriie Tor Municipal Extrav agance. Baltimore Sun. The subject of municipal extravagance seems to be vigorously taken up this year bj'.the tjovernors of 'the Mates in their annual messages. Thus Governor Bishop, of Ohio, calls pointed attention to the fact that while the btati bonded debt is only about $6,000,000, the local and municipal debt of the State exceeds. S4l.000.000. The parts of ' the State owe more than eight times as much as the State as an entirety. Governor Hartranft, in his late message to the 1-ennsylvania Legislature, sav-s, wiin the .emphasis ot truth ana con viction, that "it is apparent to all that, under the present system, the bankruptcy of our larger cities is only a question of time. The financial condition of the larger cities has improved but little, if any, sinoc 1870. As it is evident, there fore, that the system is at fault, the only hope of the citizens of those mun i cipalities is in the action of the Legisla ture. I his applies toother municipalities outside of Pennsylvania ; but, in regard to our own, our citizens need not wait for the Legislature to help them. They can help themselves in the most substantial manner by making known the economies which they demand, and which they know can be enforced, and by selecting representatives in council who are capable and willing to enforce them'. The first thing is to see that taxes laid and collected for municipal purposes are applied only and rigidly to those purposes. Gov. Hartranft says that the Pennsylvania commission on municipal reform, appointed in alay, loib, ha3 done its work well. As briefly summed up by Gov. Hartranft, they com prise : "First, increased powers of appoint ment and temoval and supervision by the mavor over the executive departments, and the complete separation of the executive and legislative functions ; secondly, the necessity of providing for an annual tax to cover all annual appropriations, and the prohibition of any expenditure fer any purpose over the amounts specifically, ap ;propriated ; thirdly, the absolute denial or limitation ot the powers to create dents These three provisions provisions, if they be rieridlv enforced, and if they cannot in any wise be "got round," will unquestion ablv suffice to prevent cities from further in creasing thefr bonded or floating debt, but it will be found dimcult to make the system operative, except limitations be made in charters and individual responsibility be imposed for transcending them. In addi tion. strict obedience to the statutes and ordinances; constant and painsful avoid ance of all "looseness," both in legislation and administration, are what we most need. Gov. Hartranft refers with approval to the results.arrived at by the rsew York com mission on the government of cities re sults similar to those attained by the Pennsylvania commission, though by en tirely different routes, that he thinks the principles laid down may "be confidently accepted as the correct basis of a plan of municipal government. The thing to(do, he contends, is to establish a genera system upon the basis of these principles, put it in operation, and trust to experi ence for the revision and modification that will be necessary to meet specific cases and provide for unforeseen difficulties. The smaller cities and towns, he thinks should be absolutely deprived f "the power to borrow money for any purpose whatsoever, in order 'that councilmen may not be tempted to get a cheap reputation for economy at the expense of posterity by willfully levying a tax rate manifesth too small to cover the necessary expendi tures than appropriated, without reference thereto, leaving every year a Large dehcit ii the shape of a floating debt, to be final Iv added to the bonded indebtedness.
