Skowlicgan is to 1 e favored with a grand
masquerade ball on Wednesday, Feb. 9th.
Wendell Phillips will lecture at Coburn
Hall, Skowlicgan, Wednesday, Feb. 16th.
Both branches of the Legislature will to-day
proceed to elect the Hon. Lot M. Morrill ns
U. S. Senator.
The strike of the telegraph operators may
be appropriately termed an electrical disturb
ance.
A person rarely loses anything in tlic long
run by being faithful to bis employer and ull
with whom he deals. “In due time ye shall
reap if ye faint not.”
It is fortunate that the Fat men's conven
tion meets dnring the cold weather. Had it
come off in July or August the report of the
proceedings would have been a melting tale.
Three of our city clergymen of different de
nominations live on one street, nnd six of our
settled ministers live within a radius of one
fourth of a mile
The enterprising young folks of Skowlie
gan have lately organized a Dramatic Club.
The initial entertainment is to be held on
Wednesday, Jan. 26th, at Coburn Hall.
Wo regret to learn that Mr. II. R. White
house, of the firm of O. C. Whitehouse& Co.,
dry goods merchants, leaves the city to-day
for Iowa, where he intends to establish him
self in business.
A grand masquerade ball will take place at
Granite Hall sometime during the last of Feb
ruary. The managers of the brilliant bal
masque at Granite Hall last winter, have the
matter in hand, and a grand lime may be
looked for.
The fourth annual bal masque will lake
place at Johnson Hall in Gardiner, to-morrow
(Wednesday) evening. The costumes, the
music, and all the other arrangements are
first class, and those who attend will be sure
of a good time. Our Gardiner friends may
expect to see a good delegation from Augusta.
At the annual meeting of the Monmouth
Mutual Fire Insurance Company, the follow
ing officers were chosen: Directors, John
May, S. Holmes, A. Sprague, G. W. King
and W. Woodbury; President, John May;
Treasurer, Charles T. Fox; Secretary, Jas.
G. Blossom.
Mr. Carpenter Winslow of Manchester, a
respected citizen of that place, died very sud
denly on Saturday evening. He was in this
city on Friday, apparently enjoying good
health, and was engaged in work all day Sat
urday. He probably died from congestion of
the lungs. Ilis age was between GO and 70
years.
The lecture course will open this evening at
Meonian Hall, with select readings by Miss
Isabella J. Prince of Portland. The pro
gramme is a fine one, consisting of selections
from the humorous and pathetic writings of
the most popular authors. We advise all to
procure course tickets, as the entertainment
provided will be found worthy of support.
The ice business at Gardiner betokens great
activity. We understand that parties from
Portland and Boston are coming to Gardiner
and other places on the Kennebec, and will
stack ice in the open air. as the prospect for
an ice crop looks dubious south. The ice
below the Gardiner bridge is said to be in
excellent condition. That above is not quite
as good, being what is called grey ice, and
mixed with anchor ice. The different ice
companies are pushing matters as rapidly as
possible; the snow and rough ice is being
cleaned off, and the companies are waiting for
a few days of cold weather. This business is
on of the most profitable pursued in Gardiner,
and bids fair to rival even the lumber business.
It gives employment to a large number of
men who during the winter season would
necessarily be idle.

In occupation, politics and religion, the
members of the House of Representatives this
year are about on the average with the House
for several years past. The farmers are
strongly in the ascendant over all other class
es, and if the agricultural interests are not at
tended to it will be their own fault. There

business in connection with other industries;
15 lawyers; 27 merchants; HI mechanics; 2
clergymen; 12 lumbermen; 1 apothecary.

Shooting Affray in New S'irron !

[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE DA11.V JOURNAL.]
Lewiston, Jan. 17.
In New Sharon, Me., Saturday last, John
Fletcher, Constable, with posse attempted to
arrest Ezekiel Tolman l'or debt, when an
atl'rav occurred between posse and a number
of persons aiding Tolman in resisting the ar
rest. Several wounded on both sides in the
affray. John S. Tolman, brother of Ezekiel
attacked Fletcher with a fire shovel, when
Fletcher fired a pistol the ball taking effect in
Tolman’s groin, and he died in twenty min
utes.
FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
Washington, .Tan. 17.
Senate. Mr. Conkling offered a resolu
tion which was agreed to. directing the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, to inquire whether
Henry Mohler, a citizen of Russia, has any
claims against the proprietor or managers of
the French cable, so-called, which should be
regarded or protected by the Congress of the
United States. He explained that his object
was to secure the introduction of a memorial
from the person referred to, which being from
the subject of a foreign government, would
not under the usage of the Senate be read
without special provision for its reception.
Mr. Wilson called up the bill prohibiting
retired officers being assigned to duty which
would entitle them to full pay for their scr
ees. The bill was passed by the House last
session, and provided that retired officers
should not be assigned to duty, a necessity in
time of war which did not now exist. The
President would thus be relieved of unneces
sary pressure.
The bill was passed.
Upon the expiration of the morning hour
the Virginia bill came up in order.
Mr. Morton said he felt constrained to vote
for the admission of Virginia for two reasons.
First, because she has complied with the pro
visions prescribed, and therefore we are in
honor bound to admit her; and in the next
place because he wanted to secure her vote
for the loth amendment, which he deemed in
dispensible for the safety of the whole system
of reconstruction ; but he should vote with
great apprehension of what should bo the re
sult of her admission at this time. If the
people of Virginia should be bored as the
people of Georgia and Tennessee, in six
months from this time Senators will encounter
a storm of indignation for their action here.
If Virginia is admitted, it should be on the
distinct understanding that the power to re
construct implies the power to protect the
reconstruction, and that that will continue as
long as protection shall be required.
If Congress simply has the power to set up
governments, and then the rebels knock them
down, reconstruction is idle. If the rebel
states are admitted on certain conditions that
are vital, then the violation of those condi
tion-. after the states come in. will he a fraud,
and Congress has the power to redress the
wrong; hut the circumstances at the time will
point out* the measure and the character of
the redress, if the reconstruction of the civil
and political rights of all classes* in the South
was the grand object to be obtained, and if
that fails reconstruction is a failure, and Con
gress must follow out the doctrines of recon
struction to their consequences; ami having
undertaken the work must not cease until
equal rights and substantial justice and pro
tection are secured to all classes.
Mr. Stewart moved to postpone the Senate
bill and take up the House bill, but debate
arising Mr. Trumbull moved that the Senate
bill be laid upon the table.
Tile Chair sustained the point of order that
the latter motion could not take precedence
of the former.
Mr. Stcwert finally withdrew his motion, and
thin moved to lay the Senate bill on the table.
Mr. Morrill of Vermont, said that the nice
tion opened up the whole question at issue.
He desired to know upon what inducement
the republican party proposed by adopting the
House hill to commit suicide.
The Senate then voted, on motion of Mr.
Stewart to lav the Senate bill on the table,
which was agreed to—yeas 25. nays 22.
Mr. Pratt paired off with Mr. Thurman,
who was absent on account of sickness.
On motion of Mr. Stewart the House bill
was taken up and read a second time.
Mr. Kdmunds submitted the amendment
which had been reported in the Senate hill re
quiring the imposition of an oath in the case
of each member of the It gislature and state
officers, and that said persons are not ineligi
ble to hold office under the 14th amendment.
Mr. Kerry said he was opposed to the
amendment for this reason.
Mr. Stewart considered the amendment
superfluous, as the judiciary committee were
considering a bill for the enforcement of the
14th amendment us soon as it was ratified.
Mr. Kdmunds thought that men whose
hands had already been laid upon the consti
tution should be compelled to swear that they
were not traitors to it.
Mr. Thayer addressed the Senate at length
in behalf of the loyal people of Virginia, who
he said were asking in vain for security and
protection. He finally yielded to a motion for
an executive session.
After a short executive session the Senate
adjourned.
House. Resolutions were introduced and
disposed of as follows:
liy Mr. Lawrence of Ohio, for the delivery
of an address on the principles of the National
Labor Convention in the Hall of the House,
some time during the present week by a mem
ber of the Union now in session in Washing

I mittee on Banking and Currency, to report a.
! bill carrying into effect these principles; also
disapproving the policy of the Secretary of
the Treasury, in purchasing 5-20 bonds at a
1 premium, the right of toe United States to
pay such bond* in United States lawful money
. being clear and unquestionable.
I The House refused to twcoad the previous
question 39 to 70, and the resolution went
over under the rules.

Secretary of the Treasury for the amount of
banking capital in the several States, in De

since March, 1889. Adopted.
By Mr. McNeley of 111., instructing the
Committee on Banking and Currency to re
port a bill providing for the withdrawing from
circulation the national bank currency and
substituting greenbacks for it.
Mr. Cox of N. Y., remarked that the com
mittee was now considering that matter.
The House refused to suspend the rules by
a vote of 54 to 113, and the resolution was not
received.
The House then took up the bill introduced
by Mr. Judd ot 111., to apportion the repre- !
sentation of the several states in the House of '
Representatives for the 42d Congress.
Mr. Judd addressed the House at length on
the subject ot apportionment under the next
