THK 6ILVP.lt BILL.
Washington, Feb. 212 P. M. The
Silver Bill was taken up in the House at
12:05 p. m.
Washington. Feb. 213 P. M. Th ail.
ver war is on again in the House. At the ex
piration ot the morning hour, Bland moved
to take up the bill and concur in the Senate
amendments.
Springer raised a point of order, that as
the amendments armnmrintod mnnw tl.r.v
i , i j j
should, under the rule, go to tho Committee
ot the Whole. This point is now being
discussed, the radicals sustainine it and the
moderate men opposing it.
The Speaker will probably overrule the
Doint. but the radical, with the
anti-silver men, will triumph, having the
Dill transferred to the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency for elimination or modi
fication of the Senate amendments. There
is general interest in the fight.- The floor
is full, and the galleries are crowded.
THK PRESIDENT AND LOUISIANA TRIALS.
Washington, Feb. 21. The language of
John Sherman touching the people of Lou
isiana is not only nnrebuked by tbe Presi
dent, but he is giving it a sort of counte
nance by intimating that the prosecutions
of Weils and Anderson arc a violation of
honor and good faith by the people of Lou
isiana. '
COLLECTOR AT XBW ORLEANS,
The nomination of Williamson for Col
lector of New Orleans will be supported by
several Democratic Senators, who are per
sonally acquainted with him and will in
dorse his character. Kellogg is against
Williamson, but his opposition is covert,
and lie docs not want to take the responsi
bility of defeating him. His game is to get
Packard. The general impression is that
llliamsyn will be rejected.
ACKLKN VS. PABRALL.
The speeches of Hon. Randall Gibson yes
terday and of Mr. Ellis to-day, on Louis
iana affairs, are regarded as unusually able.
The result was a handsome triumph to-day
for Acklen over DarmU.
OCEAN MAIL SERVICE.
Mr. Waddell's bill for a subsidy to a
monthly steamship line from New Orleans
and New York to Rio do Janeiro will be
supported by seven out of the eleven mem
bers of the Committee on Post-offices. Mr.
Cannon, of Illinois, is preparing a minority
report. Mr. Waddell is a liberal and spirits
ed man, but is encountering much opposi
tion to his bill from Southern Congressmen,
who come here to oppose their own section
and prevent its getting any material aid
from the Government
MARSHAL FOE EASTERN VIRGINIA.
The President has nominated for Marshal
of Kastern Virginia one C. P. Ramsdell, a
carpet-bagger and relic of Grantiem, who
made himself justly odious by urging, dur
ing the last Administration the use of bay
onets to supervise the elections. The Presi
dent could easily have appointed a respecta
ble native Republican or Democrat, but he
has deliberately preferred to offer this in
sult to the people who entertained him only
last October with a Virginia welcome.
To the Frontier.
National Associated Press to the Star.
Washington, Feb. 21. The War Depart
ment yesterday issued an order directing
Superintendent General of the Recruiting
Service to forward two hundred recruits
one hnndred for the Third Infautry, at Fort
Snelling, Minnesota, and one hundred for
the Nineteenth Infantry, at Fort Dodge,
Kansas.
Paris Commissioners,
The President yesterday appointed Osborn
R. Keith and J. M. Gregory, of Illinois, to
be Honorary Commissioners to the Paris
Exposition. They wore nominated by the
Uovernor ot their State.
Fatal Family Quarrel.
Dr. William Homer, a prominent Demo
cratic politician of this city, was killed yes
terday oy ms brother-in-law, Thomas K.
uiaxion, oy a uiow on tne tieaa witn a
poker, family troubles were the cause.
The Silver Bill.
The opposition to the Silver Bill as it
came from the Senate, and which had de
veloped considerable strength in the House,
has greatly diminished, and the general im-
pruojion now'is that when the bill comes up
all motions to amend or refer the bill to
either the BanUltu? and Currenov m LOW
age Weights and Measures Committees it
will be voted down and the bill be passed
exactly as it came from the Senate. There
is still some doubt as to whether the bill
will receive a two-thirds vote or not. Should
Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, and a few others who
have expressed their intentions to vote
against the bill as it now stands, carry out
their determinations, it is probable there
will be a failure to secure the necessary two
thirds. It is said, however, that should the
President veto the bill these gentlemen will
vote to pass the bill over tbe veto.
The Executive Session.
In the executive session of the Senate
yesterday, it was decided to take op, at 1
o'clock1 to-day, tho various nominations
which have been reported upon adversely,
and to continue in executive session until
all have been disposed of. Among the nom
inations are that of Smith, for the Mobile
Collectorship, and that of Williams for the
same office in New Orleans. Upon both of
these appointments an angry contest may
be expected, and, altogether, it is probable
that to-day's executive session will be as
lively as any yet known in the history of
the senate.

After the Congress, WhatT
Thirty-five of the lady employes of Hitch
cock, manager of the "Congress of Beauty
and Culture" which was held last week ut
Oilmore's Garden, met yesterday afternoon
at the Rooms of the Women's Protective
Union for the dual purpose of consulting
with each other about their grievances and
devising some plan for tlieir redress. The
total number of women who have been
cheated out pf their just dnesis over eighty,
and the attendance at the meeting not
reaching half that number, was explained
by the statement made that no formal or
ganization had been effected, and that no
notice of a meeting had been sent to them.
The girls and women who attended be
haved very quietly, but showed a firm dis
position to contend for tlieir rigltfs. After
some discussion it was decided that the best
plan to adopt would be to commence civil
action against Hitchcock, and Mr. Parsons,
attorney for the society, was requested to
commence suit at once. Other defrauded
parties will be atked to join in the suit. It
is believed that Hitchcock lias left the city,
but there is also a rumor that a warrant has
been issued for his arrest. It is also said
that a dispatch has been received from
Hitchcock, dated Washington, D. C, saying
lie was on me point oi starting lor una cuy,
and would be up on the first train.

the alleged husband of Mrs. Kate Smith,
complainant against the two negroes, Sam
uel Chambers and George Collins, who are
now in Newcastle Jail under sentence of
death March 22d, has cO.'lfawd to having

in this county, on the night of August 15th
last. Smith was arrested in Philadelphia,
and brought here last night. Smith's con
fession will secure jrardons for the negroes,
as he was one of the principal witnesses in.
the case.
THE NEW POPE.
Incidents of Election, Personnel,
Etc., Etc.
National Associated Press to the Star.
London, Feb. 21. Tho election of Leo
XIII took place at the Vatican Tuesday
after mass and the usual rites. The first
ballot was taken between 10 and 1.1 o'clock,
in the forenoon. At forty-five minutes past
1 o'clock, in the afternoon, tlie snioke of
burning ballot paer was visible, showing
that the Conclave had voted, bpt that no
candidate had obtained the reimisite ma
jority. Yesterday morning, however, when
no smoke was seen and tlie first: brick was
struck from the walled window at which a
single white figure was momentarily to ap
pear surrounded by a group of Cardinals
robed in scarlet, all Rome knew tbat a new
Pontiff had been chosen as a successor of
the late Pius IX.
Then Leo XHI was solemnly proclaimed
as the head of the Chu rch, and the news
was at once telegraphed throughout the
world. The custom, immediately after the
election of a Pope is declared in the Con
clave, js to seine the newly-elected Pontiff,
who, not unfrequently, faints from the ex
citement of the moment, and bear him hur
riedly to the altar. Hore his Cardinal's
robes of scarlet are removed, and he is in
vested with the white garments of the
Pope. One of the Cardinals then goes to
the door of the chamber, and knocking
upon it, announces to those without that
the election has been made. The door
opens, and the ncwly-clectod bead of the
Church emerges witbtho Cardinals.
In appearance the new Pope strikes the
beholder with u feeling of reverence, and it
is related of him that there has not been in
the Vatican for many years a Chamberlain
who has borne himself with such dignity
and grace. He has a tall, thin.commaiiding
figure, and his features recall those of Rich
elieu as handed down in the old pictures.
They are full of intelligence, and it can
readily be seen that he is a man that thor
oughly understands politics, whether in
temporal or spiritual affairs. He has a
nasal twang that is not altogether Italian,
but it is said that it is a votcc that grows
upon the listener.
In bearing he carries himself with almost
haughty dignity, and in this respect resem
bles the late Pope in the earlier years of his
pontificate. Despite all this outside appear
ance of aristocracy and reserve, it is said
that tho new Pope is simple in his tastes,
and while maintaining the dignity of his
high otttcc outwardly, his inner lite will be
iilain, unpretending and unostentatious,
n his earlier years he was very fond of so
ciety, uud used to be pertinacious in the
number of questions he would ask, so eager
was lie tor information.
THE NEW POPE.
The new Pope, Leo XIII, is hailed with
joy bv New York Catholics, and the morn
ing paiera speak favorably of him.
The Herald says: "In our judgment the
influence of their choice upon the relations
of the Church to the several Governments
with which it has been in commission will
be excellent."
- The Times says-. "The new Pope will be
known as Pope Leo XIII, and he may have
assumed the title as a hint that he is ready
to carry out uncompromisingly the policy
of reform begun during the brief reign of
the last Leo, who succeeded Piits VII, and
wielded the new broom with surprising
vigor, both in the spiritual and temporal
domain. His election is regarded as a tri
umph for the party of moderation and com
promise." The Tribune says the speedy result of the
election can only be regarded as a striking
testimonial of tho high opinion 'entertained
of the new Pope by his associates in the
College. All accounts of him, indeed, arc
nattering. By common agreement he is
a man of blameless life, strong mind, gen
tle disposition, culture, a scholar, refitted
manners and sincere piety.
The World says the new Pope now as
cends the throne of St. Peter as indeed a
Prince of Peace, and good men of all relig
ious belief will cordially unite with tho
hope that the events of his reign may con
firm the promises of his election.

AT THE HIGHLAND HOUSE.
The Private masquerade Given Last
Blight.
The ninth of the series of Highland
House Hops was given lost night, the occa
sion, being varied by making it a masquer
ade. This brought out the full member
ship, and it is no exaggeration to say that it
was in all particulars the most brilliant, ex
clusive and pleasant event of the kind that
has taken place in Cincinnati this season.
These hops are given by a society composed
of one hundred and one gentlemen, who,
with their ladies, make up the parties.
None others are admitted under any pre
tense, and the assemblages arc as select and
as free from the intrusion of outsiders as R
they were in a private parlor.
All the upper part of the Highland House,
embracing both parlors, the ball-room and
restaurant, are put at the disposal of tbe
Society on meeting nights, making by fat
the most elegant rooms for such a purpose
to he found in the city.
The costumes last night embraced every
thing, from comic to superb, that the im
agination could picture. It is impossible
to mention more than a very few, even ot
those that, for their lieanty or tlie ingenuity
and originality displayed, deserve especial
notice.
Tlie most conspicuous of the cos
tumes and the one most original in design
and at the same time as beautiful as any in
the house, was worn by a prominent young
druggist of one of our suburbs.
It consisted of a beautiful suit trimmed
with designs ingeniously representing the
journalism of Cincinnati. Every paper
was shown In some part of the trimming
and the whole made to blend harmoniously
yet with a conspicuous beauty. He wore a
hat of the old chapeau style, surmounted
by a scroll about sixteen inches long, bear
ing in gilt letters the words, "The Daily
Star." The Star acknowledges the coia
pliiuent of being put conspicuously a novo
them all.

The young ladies from Bellewe, Ky.,
were costumed in good taste, and did gresrt
credit to the old ConimonweiJth.
Columbus (O.) was represented by "Morn

1'ike street sent, among others, two Dolls'
Vartlen girls, good costumes; a photograph
girl, three for a quarter, and well taken; a
cute little peasant girl; another bright
morning. A young lady from Louisville,
visiiing'on Pike street, also added much to
the representation from that locality.
"The Daughter of the Regiment" w as a
conspicuous character well represented.
"George Washington" was taken by a
young gentleman of the "little hatchet"
school, and was ncconipalYuid hy "Martha
