shown in. The young man said iie lived
some distauce from Vashington, but had
come here in order to personally thank the
president for restoring him to liberty and
to his familv; and also to assure him that
in the future his conduct would convince
the president that his clemency had not
been misapplied. Tne president treated
his visitor very kindly, and after inquiring
into his past life and "future prospects, ait
ised him to go to work and make himself
a u-eftil citizen, adding that it i never too
late for reform.

they were in favor of a bill like that
introduced by Mr. Randall last session,
which repealed the tobacco tax, the tax on
alcoholic spirits used in the art, and certain
special liquor licenses and taces, and add
ed certain articles to the free list. lo con
clusion was reached as to when an attempt
ihould be nude to j-ccure consideration of
such a bill, or indeed whether it should be
made at all. These present were very
reticent as to who attended the meeting,
but it can be stated that no members were
present from Virginia or Isoith Carolia,

FOiri'YO.-LNTIl CONGRESS.
Senate.
Washington, D. C. Jan. 0. In the
senate todav .Mr. Manderson brought be
fore the senate the case of a claim against
Mexico for the killing of Captnin Emmitt
Craw ford, in command of United States
troops in pursuit of Gcronimo, by Mexi
can troops, etating that a stronger, more
urgent demand for indemnity should be
made and intn-ducing a bill for the relief
of Capt. Crawford's heirs. Bill referred.
The senate then took up the resolution
offered yesterday by Mr. McPherson call
iuir on the secretary of the treasury for a
statement of the indebtedness of Pacini
railroad companies to the government, and
as to the effect of the funding bill thereon.
Mr. floar withdrew his umendment call
ing for an additional statement as to dis
puted questions ;,etv,eeii the governnvnt
and the compani"s). Resolution agreed to.
The .senate, oi no'ion of Mr. Mitchell of
Pcnusylvanii, ttuk up the bill giving a
pension of &2 000 aytar to Mary S. Logan
widow of Gen. Jonu A. Logan, as a major
general of volunteers. Mr. .Mitchell stated
that the bill propo-cd to do precisely what
w as ione to the widows of Genertds Han
cock and Thomas.
Mr. Ma.vv would prefer to have some
further explanation f the bill. There was
a great distinction between thecaseof Gen
Logan and the cases of Generals Hancock
and Th m:is, who had spent their
lives in the army. In so far
as the pension was concerned, he
thought the ctse of Gen. Logan
should stand on the same principle as that
of other citizens. If he contracted in the
army disease from which he died, that
would be ample grot 'id for a pen-I 'i for
his widow.
Mr.Muehell stated that he had hear! Gn
Logan say that he had been wounded Jive
times; that he was urjl-Mibtedly entitled to
a pension, but had n.rer cmimedione,?lIe,
iKised this bill on the proposition that the
pension is granted, to the widow of a citi
zen who died from the effects of disease
rheumatism) con!'. acted in scivice daring
the war. He referred to the analogous
case of tiie sum given to the widow of
Francis P CLir
Mr. C-allom -,taied that Gen. Logan had
contracted rheumatism on the battle field
of Fort DoneNnn where he lay in snow all
night. There was no question that he
died cf rheumatism contracted in the ser
vice of his country.
Mr. Sewtll said h! had frequent ly heard
Gen. Lg.jii describe his suirerinsrs from
rheumatism on difTereiit fielth of the war.
It wh so patent to cry member of the
Ien5io!i committee t&st Gen. Logan's death
was due to hat. cau-e, that the committee
did not take the trouble to go further iato
the subjrrt.
Mr. Ye-t offered im amendment fixing
tno penM n-f the widow of Francis P.
Blair at s'2.0t0 a year, -ussertiiirr that if the
w idow and family of any man were to be
paid out of the treasury in proportion to
hi-public service, it wis the widow and
tamily ot r raneis I-". IHair. At the request
of Mr. I law ley :.nd other "senators. Jif with
drew theaincndincntdttlien passed without
division. Mr. Vit thereupon introduced
a bill incre;ising the pension of Mrs Appo
linti Blair f roin $ 50 a momh to $2,000 a
car, and at hi n quest the bill was im
mediately crowlered and pissed

1 he bill cTMntmtr the ksusa.. lexas A
of the country had been built on the graves
of weak competitors. The bill invited a
grand monopolr of railroad capital in this
country which would be built on the
graves of the railroads that are not pooled,
and in the competition that railroad mon
opoly would be the master of the people
He believed it better to have business kept
in a great mauy hands than to have it con
trolled by a few. He believed it better to
let the country stores live than to build up
great inerchantilo establishments at their
expense. He believed it better to let the
weak railroads live than to build up one
magnificent railroad corporation that would
occupy the railroad business of the country
the same position as the Western Union
Telegraph Co. bears to the telegraph busi
ness of the country.
Specimens of that kind of consolidation
of railroad companies were today the Penn
sylvania railroad, with a system of over
7,000 miles under one management; in the
Wabash system with its gigantic system of
9,000. He characterized the two clauses
(as to the long and short haul; and to pro
hibit pooling) as a most glaring inconsist
ency whiehrecallsd the couplet: You're
damned if you do, and j-ou're damned if
don't. He also argued that the effect of
the bill would be to place the American
railroads (o far as the business from the
west to the Atlantic seaboard is concerned)
at the mercy of the Grand Trunk railway
of Canada. As to the intimation that ft
would be necessary to adopt the conference
report in order to have any legislation on
the subject at this session.'hedid not think
it was well founded.
iir. Morgan opposed the bill. Alabama,
he said was at the father southern margin
of the United States. The markets in
Avhich her people bought their dry goods
and a large portion of their groceries "were
at the far northeast, and there was abroad,
intervening area bttw een them: the mar-
Keis in wjiicn mey nougnt tneir loou sup
plies Chicago. St. Louis and Cincinnati
were also far distant from Alabama. The
markets iu which they sold their products
were all distant; tiiey had a ast tract of
country to cro-s in getting cither to the
market of pureha-e or the"market of sale.
so that he thought that anv bill which
forced the railroad companies to raise their
charges on freights tor long hauls would
be necessarily inimical to the best interests
of his state. He argued that the
states were perfectly competent
to deal with this subject, and the interfer
ence of the fedf ral government would lead
to stiil further invasions, until the man
agemeutot the railroads would cvi-ntually
become the most absorbing business of
congress. He could not suoscribe to the
doctrine that interstate commerce could
only be protected through the action of
congress. The bill was based solely on that
false premise, it opened the d)or to the
interference of congress with every regula
tion of trade and commerce; it exposed the
character of every railroad company
(given by state.-) to modification through
acts of congress. The principle of this bill
would end iu making merchandise of poli
tics while it ruled :uid ruiued business. As
he read the hill (the interpretation of which
was so uncertain that every one had to in
terpret it for himsflf) it necessitated the
increase of rates on long hauls in all cases
where tiie roads could not sacrifice a large
pa: t of their income. He was convinced
that the roads to the coal and iron fields of
Alabama could not do that and the burden
would fall vt-rV heavilv on those new in-
dustriej of Alabama, and would probably
destroy them.
Mr Cullom said he was very anxious to
have- the bill di-posid of as soon as possi
ble eo:r-i-k:it with a fuirdi-russion, and he
therefore gave notice that on Tuesdayor
'Wednesday next he would ask tiicsenSre
to remain in sessson until the subject was
dispn-ed of.
Mr. Hour remonstrated against cuttle?
off the debaie on a hill that would operate
h seriously upon modern commerce, and
would to greatly affect the interests of the
country and state which he represented.
A'r. Cullom ;'Uti that the senator had had
plenty of lime to prepare for life discus,
sion since tin conference report had been
made. Brides, the bill an reported w.is not
very different from that whu-h pawed the
senate a vear ago. In his judgement tin
bill if passtd would not interfere with
modern commerce at all, nor with tire in
terests of Boston and Massachusetts-.
After an executive session the senate adjourned.
