LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION RILL.
After the morning bear, Mr. Dawes asked tbe
House to go tntn Committee -of tbe Whole on the
Legislative Appropriation bUL Be intends to pur
fcoe this course every day after the morning boor,
until the Appropriation bills have all been acted
on and sent to the Senate. There was
a long debate, to-dsy, over the appropria
tions for the Bureau of Education. Tennessee
members wanted an increase beth for the collec
tion of intormatlon and additional
Mr. Dawes was willing to vote fora
reasonable amount for gathering and publishing
statistics and reports, but was unwilling that tbe
expense of tbe bureau should be perilled by mak
ing It an asylum lor supernumerary clerks. The
whole question of the nobly of tbe bureau was
• brought under discussion, the Democrats in a
body speaking and voting against it, and, on mo
tion of Mr. Cox, of New York, voting to strike
out tne whole section making appropriation (or
It. Mr. Cox threatened that tbe Democrats when
they came into power wonldmake haste to put
on end to It. Farnsworth was the only
prominent member on the Bepnblican side who
Joined In the assault. The object and work of the
bureau were stoutly defended and advocated by
Messrs. Dawes, Havs, Boiler. Garfield, and others.
. A tew thousand dollars were added to the appro
priations from the committee, in accordance with
~tbe suggestions of Mr. Dawes. Tbe scope and
of this debate showed something of the
nature and strength of the opposition which the
Bouse bill for the system of national education
wOl probably encounter when It comes before the
House.
THE BRIDGE QUESTION.
Tbe House committee on Commerce to-day
heard Captain Bigler, of Pittsburgh, In behalf of
tbe coal men, in connection with tbe bridges over
the Ohio River. The committee, upon the further
rawest of the rall'oad interests, agreed to ex
tend the time for tbe hearing another week, or
dering, however, that the tailroads most be pre
pared to close their case one week from Tuesday.
Tbe Cincinnati delegation will leave for home at
the close of this week. They have appointed
Richard Smith and Mr. Harrison to remain until
the matter Is finally decided.
THE SAX DOME-GO COMMISSION
is Dow, It Is believed, made op. Hoe. B. F. Wade
is President of the Commission, and tbe other
members are President Andrew D. White, of Cor
nel! University, and Dr. Samnel G. Howe, of Bos
ton. General Franz Slgcl declined the appoint
ment of Secretary to the Commission, on the
ground that he did not think himself sufficiently
acquainted with the Spanish language to under
take the responsible duties of the position. Hoc.
Allan. G. Button, of Kentucky, has been appoint
ed in bis plane. Mr. Burton was at one time
Minister to Bogota, and is thoroughly
familiar with the Spanish language,
and a gentleman of high character
and excellent culture. The constitution of the
commisslon'glves general satisfaction to all par
ties, and it is believed to guarantee as complete
and intelligent an investigation as the circum
stances of teat trip will admit. The present ar
rangement Is for tbe commission to assemble In
New York on Monday, and It la believed that all
will be in readiness by Tuesday. There was a
JODg Cabinet meeting to-day, at which the only
subject discussed was tbe San Domingo investiga
tion. Wade was present all the time. It was ar
ranged that only six representatives of the press
should be permitted to accompany the commis
sion.

A meeting of tbe Ohio delegation was bridges

the expected consobdstion of revenue districts.
The matter is causing great perplexities, and

Mr. SHERMAN objected to the present consid
eration of the resolution, when it was laid over.
OCEAN TELBOUAPU LEGISLATION.
On motion of Mr. WILLIAMS, tho Senate took
up tbe House resolution for a joint Ocean Cable
Committee.
Mr. BAYARD sa'd ibe passage of tbe resolu
tion through tbe Bonse bad been effected, be
would not say in an underhanded way, but cer
tainly without that honorable degree of delibera
tion which was essential to tbe dignity of public
business. He was unwilling to consider hastily a
resolution that bad been slipped tbrcogb another
branch of Congress.
Mr. WILSON remarked that ocean cable entor
prites were deserving of encouragement. He,
therefore, wanted dconlte action on tbe subject.
Mr. WILLIAMS was satisfied that tbe House
would Lot reconsider its action; but, after what
bad been said, he would not press tbe matter.
ADJOURNMENT.
The Senate wcht into executive session, and
subsequently adjourned until Monday.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THE SUPPLEMENTARY FUNDING DILI.
Mr. HOOPER, from tne Committee of Ways
and Meaup, reported back to the Senate tbe bill
authorizing an increase of five per cent f ending
bonds to $500,000,0T0, interest payable quarterly,
with amendments, leaving Abe payment of interest
quarterly to tbe discretion of tnc Secretary of the
Treasury, and providing that tbe total amount
cf fording bonds shah not be increased. The
amendment was agreed to, and the bill passed.
Hr. DAWES introduced a bill to establish tbe
salaries of officers of tbe Treasury Department.
Relened to tbe Committee on Appropriations.
LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL.
The Boose men, at l :40 o’clock, went into Com
mittee of the Whole—Mr. SCOFIELD inthochalr
—and resumed the consideration of the Legisla
tive, Executive and Jndlctal Appropriation bUL
The appropriations (or the departments of Agri
culture and Education gave rise to a protracted
discussion. On the subject of education, Mr.
HOAR remarked mat there were; more Ig
norant people in tb e District of Columbia than in
tbe whole Kingdom of Sweden, and that, out of a
population of doo.ooo in the Territories, widen
were under the exclusive jurisdiction of congress,
there were only 40,0C0 cuiidrcn educated in
schools.
Mr. GARFIELD referred to the prison statis
tics, showing that 9S per cent of tne criminals
bad learned no trade or handicraft, and that 24
per cent of them had not learned to read.
Mr. FARNSWORTH thought that if thatargu
meet was-wotth anything it would justify the
establishment by congress of a Department of
Mechanics rather than a Bureau of Education.
Mr. COX moved to stilkeont the whole para
graph relating to the Bureau of Education, and
remarked that a party was coming into power
which wonld regulate that bureau by abolishing
It.
Mr. BUTLER (Mass.) said that although his
State could derive no benefit from tbe Bureau of
Education, be would vote to sustain that bnreau
for tbe sake of those parts of the Union which
had no system of free common schools.
Mr. COE’S motion to strike out the paragraph
was rejected.
Without going, further on tbe bill, the commit
tee rose.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
MONET.
New Yobx, Jan. IS.—Money continues easy at
536 per cent on governments, and 6 to 7 per cent
on stock collaterals. Prime acceptances are dis
counted at 7 per cent, and endorsed notes at 7 to
9 per cent.
The Government Bond market was firm, with a
slight advance in prices.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
The foreign exchange market was strong, and
advanced. Prime bankers’ sixty-day sterling
bills ore quoted at IM# to 1(9*2: sight at HO. and
commercial bills at 103>* to 109, with sales at
ios»; audios^.
The.gold market was stead? throughout tbe
day. The price opened at 111, and declined to
11072. closing at that price at Sp. m. Tbe rates
paid for carrying were C, s,and 7 per cent.
After the board adjourned the market declined
to 110*2-
STOCKS.
The Etoctmartct opened steady, bot afterward
became weak, and declined. The abort interest
among the weal: operators has been mostly
closed, and many of them bare gone long of tbe
stocks of wbtcb they were recently abort, so that
tbe market is now without tbe support of a short
interest. The Colon Pacuica were strong daring
tbe entire dsy.
There was considerable animation in the bread*
staffs market. Wheat was firmer. There was
more export demand, and new spring brought a
further advance of 1 cent, while other grades of
wheat were quiet and nominal. Tbe market for
the common and medium grades of state and
Western flours opened with some excitement, and
prices were advanced s@loc per barrel, but tbe
close was somewhat unsettled.
DRY GOODS.
Tbe market for domestic cotton goods Is Arm,
and tbe leading jobbers are buying and maMng
contracts for tbe spring. Tbe manufacturers have
large orders on hand, and, in some cases, suffi
cient to keep their mills employed lor six weeks
or two months. In foreign goods there la very
little doing, and only with tbe clotbiog bouses.
[To the Associated Press.]
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
New York, Jan. 13.—A Board of Underwriters’
meeting to-day unanimously agreed upon the ne*
cesaity of urging such a coarse of action as will
force Congress to realize that tbe American
people*wlan their Representatives to paas tbe Al
abama Claims bill pending m tbe House, making
individual louses to citizens in time of war a na
tional matter.
THE STOEES-FISK FCAKDAL.
Th* scandal-mocgei b arc vastly amused by the
published affidavits or Edward Stokes, recently
arrested for embezzlement, at the instigation of
James Flak and hire. Lawlor, who has been
known as “Erie preferred." Stokes says the
present litigation grows solely from regard to
pielcreice expressed lor his (Stokes) society
by Jlif. Lawlor, a funner actress, and wile
or Fiauk Lawlor, tjc actor. Stokes cUima
to have been on friendly terms with
Mrs. Lawlor long before Flak made ber co
qualttance, and that, although Fisk is passionate*
It attached to her. and has lavished on ner nooses,
diamonds and Erie stocks, she by no means re
c.procatcd his attachment bat bas abandoned
bis protection repeatcdlv. and Anally, although
Fisk has, with tears in bis<yes t besought her to
remain, nas now left him permanently. Fi-k re
fuses to believe she has wearied of him, bat at*
tributes all ber fantasies to the interference of
Sokes. The financier firs; avenged himself on
his rival by canceling all of Stokes’ heavy con*
tracts, amounting to over sso,oco a year with the
Eric railroad; then, finding Stokes not rained Fisk
en*dcavored to conciliate him and an interview
took place between the two a*. Delmonico’s, which
adjourned to the residence of Mrs. Lawlor, and did
not terminate till B)tf o’clock next morning, and
even then in a manner unsatisfactory to Fisk.
Fisk then tried to cost Stokes from the oil works,
in which they were bo'.b interested, and, being
unable to do so. caused his arrest Fisk told
Stokes he had the New York Judiciary under his
thumb, and conld sand him (Stoker) or any other
man to Sing Sing whenever he wanted to. Stokes
declares that eloce bis release on ball the Fisk
party have offered Mm SIIO,OOO to compromise the
suit, and to purchase bis Interest In the oil works,
and also to pay him $12,000 a year rental for the
ground on which it stands, which offer has been
declined.
New York, Jan- 13.—The difficulty between
Stokes and Jsroca Fisk, Jr, bas been compro
mised. after several hours’ negotiation. It is said
that Tammany advised Fisk to compromise at any
coat.

TBE COOK COUNTY MEMBERS.
Tbe feeling of lii-wiil against tbe Cook County
members does not seem to hare abated. The
gentleman from Brown has offered a resolution
that tbe Judiciary Committee examine and re
port whether, under tbe new constitution, Cook
County was entitled to 15 or 22 members. After
be bad finished bis little speech, and before any
one from Cook Conncy or anywhere else bad
time to say anything, Mr. Morrison, of Monroe,
moved its reference to tbe Committee on Elec
tions, and there It went without a word.
Though discussion was avoided on tbe above
point, a simple resolution to give tbe use of the
hail lor the Republican and Democratic caucuses,
on Friday and Monday evenings, started a flood
of talk. Armstrong opposed the resolntloo,
as looking badly. Galloway objected
to it. since It lumbered up tbe
journals. Haines preferred that tbe
words “ Republican” and “ Democrat” be stricken
out, and Morrison, of Monroe, and Watte declared
that the whole State knew they were divided into
two political parties, and that they were both
willing to go on tbe record. After a great ex*
peedtinteof time, tbe resolution was postponed
till Wednesday.

ferred bach, the Boose taking chances on being

who conld not get away in each a short time.
The Senate bill for paying the State deb; was
read and the House adjourned nntll tomorrow,
when it is likely few members will meet to listen
to the first reacting of Llpplncott’s bill.
The feellig excited by the disappointed by the
appointment of committees has to some
extent died away, or at all events
is not so loudly expressed. Tnere was some
thing said In the first wrathful impulse of up
setting tbc whole thing, but a few weeks hard
work will convince members that they
could have been worse off with Chairmanships
than wltbont them. Hoot, to his great satisfac
tion, baa been put on the Committee on Ware
booses. and Morrison has been placed on Hall
roads, instead of Sullivan, who tskes Morrison's
place on the Retrenchment Committee.

the views of the party. lie alluded to his course
during the war, and said If it were again to take
the ballot from traitors, he would favor doing so;
but when peace was established, ho would allow
all people to vote. Speaking of Blair's career,
he thought the mlguty had fallen very low
through the influence and power of the Reonb
bean party of the nation and the Union party of
Maryland. Qc favored paying every cent of the
public debt, a tariff for revenue, contlning inter
nal revenue to as few articles as pos
sible. refunding the public debt at a law
rate of interest, resumption ot specie payment
rather as a result of the development of business
Interests than legislation; looking to a rapid con
traction of tnc currency, or forcing the payment
of specie. The present tariff should be modified
so far as to operate Impartially on
different interests of the country, and
develops alike the industry of every
section. With these principles ond earnest de

ILLINOIS
Isone of Railroad Bonds RcniNiod
by (ho Citizen* of tbc Toivu of
OUio—An injunction Prayed lor
and Granted.
Special Deepatch to The Chicaco Tribune.
Princeton, Jan. 13.—James Rosa, and o*her
tax-payers of the town of Ohio, yesterday ap
peared before UerveyM.Trimble, E-q., Muter
to Chancery, and presented a bill asking that a
temporary writ of injunction be issned, to restrain
the issue and delivery of the bonds of that town
lor $40,000, In aid of the construction of Che Illinois
Grand Tnmk Railroad, Horn Mondota to P/oph
eistown. By the Legislature of 1867, tho company
was chartered and a Board of Directors appointed.
On the Slst of August, 1862, lu accordance wltn a
revision of the the act of August,
ISC2, permitting the town to vote in aid of this
railroad, an election was held.and a subscription of
$40,000 voted. The bonds were prepared, signed and
deposited with the trustees to be delivered up to
the company when the railroad ahould be com
pleted through and a depot built in the town. A
tew days ago this was accomplished, and the com
pany, through Its officers, notllled the town au
thorities of the fact, and demanded the bond?.
The injunction now prayed for is to restrain the
required delivery of the bonds. It was contended
by complainant?, first, that the company was not
organized.when me vote of 1869 was taken;
second, that there was no record or notice show
ing the terms on which the subscription was
made; third, that after tho vote was taken
the railroad company, by some official
or other, whose name was not epeeffied, had re
fused to accept the subscription, and bad re
quested that another vote be taken; fourth, that
on the 2istof July, 1870, another vote had been
taken, which authorized the proposed subscrip
tion. The defendants contended, first, that tho
company was organized In IS6T, as provided ov
Its charter; second, that the election was culled
by propernotlcc, the election held, a register of
the olectlcn previously prepared for that election,
and that the vote was In due form, allot which
appeared in evidence; third, time the compcuy
never had refused to accept the subscription,
but, on the contrary, expressly accepted it, as
was shown by the affidavits of the President ami
Secretary of the company. There were the affl
daviis of two complaining witnesses on the other
hand. Athough the evidence was clearly In favor
of the railroad company on this point, yet the
master, deeming it a mooted point, aud not de
siring to pass on the preponderance of evidence,
concluded to grant the Injunction, with the state
ment that no norm would result to the company
ou account of the short time In
tervening between this and the ses
sion of the Circuit Court, nor
did It follow that the bonds were not good and
valid; while, on the other hand, by refusing the
injunction there was a possibility of the town be
ing barred from contesting the validity of the
bonds. The Master held In favor of tho company
on all the points of law, and granted the Injunc
tion merely on the disputed question of face In
granting the Injunction be required bond for
120.0C0 fiom the complainants, which, after con
siderable negotiation, was forthcoming. The
complainants were represented by James S.
Rekcb and Joseph Eight Taylor, and the railroad
by George O. Idc.

conclusion that It la partly humbag and partly dis

be brushes aside as simply tricks. As for the
trances wherein mediums are said to hold con

thinks are not so much tricks as disease; the par

New 7-30 Gold Loan
NORTHERNPACIFIC
RAILROAD CO.,
Seenred by First Mortgage on Rail-
road and Land Grant.
;AFE! PROFITABLE I PERMANENT!
Jay Cooke & Co.,
Offer for Bale at par and accrued Interest the
Pint Mortgage Land Grant Gold Bonds of
the Northern Pacific Bailroad Company.
•They axe free from United State* Tax, and
are issued of the following denominations:
Coupons *IOO, *SOO, and *1,000; Regis
tered *IOO, *SOO, *I,OOO, *5,000, and
*IO,OOO.
BIUNN Sc CO..
With the same entire confidence with which we com
mended Government bonds to Capitalists and People,
we now, after the fullest investigation, recommend
these Northern Pacific Railroad bonds to our friends
and the general public.
GOLD PAYMENT.—Both principal and interest are
payable in American gold coin, at the office of Jay
Cooke £ Co., New York City—-the principal at the end
of SO yean, and the interest (at the rate of 7 3-13 per
cent per annum) half yearly, first of January and July.
PERFECT SAFETY.—The bonds we are now sell
ing are secured by a first and only mortgage on all the
property and rights of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, which will embrace at the completion of the
werk:
1. O.crTwoThousand Miles of Road, with rolling
stock, building;, and all other equipments.
2. Over Twenty-two Thousand Acres of Land to every
mile of finished road. This land, agricultural, timbered,
and mineral, amounting In all to more than Fifty' Mill
ion Acres, consists of alternate sections, reaching
twenty to forty miles on each side of the track, and ex
tending in a broad fertile belt from Wisconsin through
the richest portions of Minnesota, Dakota. Montana,
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, to Puget Sound.
While the government does not directly guarantee
the bonds of the road, it thus amply provides for their
full and prompt payment hr an unreserved grant of
land, the most valuable ever conferred upon a great
national improvement.
THE MORTGAGE.—'The Trustees under the Mort
gage, arc Meun. Jay Cooke, of Philadelphia, and J.
Edgar Thomson, President of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Railroad Company. They will directly and perma
nently repreaent the interests of the First Mortgage
bondholders, and arc required to see that the proceeds
of land sales ore used in purchasing and cancelling the
bonds of the Company if they can be bought before
maturity at not more than 10 per cent premium: other
wise the Trustees are to invest the proceeds of land
sales In United States Bonds or Real Estate Mort
gages for the further security of Northern Pacific bond
holders. Also, that they have at alt times la their con
trol, as security, at least S€o acres of average land to
every SI,OOO of outstanding ti-»t mortgage bonds, be
sides the railroad itself or d aQ Its equipments and fran
chises.
PROFITABLENESS.—Of course nothing can be
safer than the bonds of the United States, nut as the
government is no longer a borrower, and as the na
tion’s present work is not Ihst of preserving its exist
ence, bat that of developing a continent, wotrcmlnd
these who desire to Increase their Income and obtain a
more permanent investment, while still having a per
fectly reliable security, that:
United States 5-20 a at their average premium yield
tbc picbcul vurchaser less than per cent gold inter
est. Should they be redeemed in five yeora,and spe
cie payments be resumed, they would really pay only
AH per cent, or if in three years, only 3H per cent, as
the present premium would meanwhile be sunk.
Northern Pacific 7-COs selling at par in currency yield
tbelnveetor7 3-l0 percent gold interest absolutely for
thirty years, free from United States tax. 81.U0 cur
rency invested now in United States 5-30; will yield per
year In gold, say, $83.00. $l,lOO currency invested now
in Northern Pacific 7-30s will yield per year In gold,
s?o.2u. Here is s difference in annual income of nearly
one-third, besides a difference of 7 to 10 per cent in
principal, when both classes of bonds are redeemed. 1
IHS ROAD NOW BUILDING.-Work was begun
in July lost, on the eastern portion of the line, and the
money provided, by the sale to stockholders of soma
six millions of the Company's bonds, to build and
equip the road from Lake Superior across Minnesota to
the Red River of the North—333 miles. The grading on
this division is now well advanced; the Iron is being
rapidly laid; several thousand men are at work on the
line, and about the first of August next this important
section of the road wQI be in full operation. In the
meantime orders have been sent to the Pacific coast
for the commencement of the work on the western end
in early spring, and thereafter the work will be pushed,
both eastward and westward, with as much speed os
may be consistent with solidity and a wise economy.
RECEIVABLE FOB LANDS.—These bonds will be
at all times, before maturity, receivable, at 1.10, In pay
ment for the Company's lands, at tbelr lowest cash
price.
BONDS EXCHANGEABLE.—The registered bonds
can be exchanged at any time for coupons, the cou
pons for registered, and bath these can be exchanged
for others, payable, principal and interest, at any of
the principal financial centres of Europe, la tnc coin of
the various European countries.
HOW TO GST THEM.—Tear nearest Bank or
Banker will supply these bonds in any desired amount,
and of any seeded denomination. Pcrsots wishing to
exchange stocks or other bonds for these, can do so
with any of onr agents, who win allow the highest cur
rent price for n'l marketable securities.
Those living in localities remote from banka, may
send money, or other bonds, directly to na by express,
and wc will send back Northern Pacific bonds, at onr
own risk, and without cost to the investor. For far
ther information, pamphlets. maps, etc., call on or ad
dress the undersigned, or any of the Banks or Bankers
employed to sell this loan.
