"TVisinxToy, Jau. Cf;. Congressman Klei
ner, of Indiana, will to-morrow introduce a
: till in the Houe, cl which the following is a
(TV ... ,
synopsis: ,-That m ursuier who ships trom t
-the place of manufacture original stamped j
packages of spirits to customers, with a con
dition requiring payment for the same
en or before their delivery, shall
be required to pay special tax at the place of
men delivery. Nor -shall special tax at the
place of delivery be required of any liquor
dealer or consignee, to whom such packages
of distilled spirits, wines or malt liquors
stall have been sent, on which the full tax
has once been paid by the consignor. Nor
.shall a 6pecial tax at the place of delivery be
required of any liquor dealer or consignor,
by reason of his shipping distilled spirits,
wines or malt liquors, in authorized quanti
ties, from the place of business, for which
he' has paid the requisite special
tax. upon conditions requiring payment
f:T liquors on or before delivery."
Should this bill become a law those now
deal frig in liquors, such as commission mer
chants, would be relieved from the payment
cf any tax. None but the nAnufacturer and
retailer will be required to obtain a license.
This, of course, would likewise reduce the
receipts of internal revenue, and might pos
fcibly result in the reduction of the price of
the article, Mr. Kleiner is of the opinion
that he can be able to pass the bill. The im
portance of it will make it of general inter
est, and it will be watched with a great deal
cf anxiety.

Washington, Jan. 25. The war between
the Senate and President reached a climax
in executive session to-day by the -passage of
a resolution without opposition calling for
papers showing cause for removals. The
question of the confirmation of United States
District Attorney Bennett, of Alabama, was
up, and in which, it is supposed, will be
made a test case. The fact that the resolu
tion met with no opposition would imply
that the Fresident has sai J to the Democrats
be will furnish the Republican Senate with
the reasons, in other words, it is regarded as
a complete back down by the President.

Washington. Dec. 2". The death of Con

Congress but one day, that being the first of

the truth that an aspiring young man named
Tom Hadd, believing Rankin would live but
a short time, has made a canvass of the dis

as- Kankin crossed the river. The fastdeclin- i

last words were to tell the people of his old

Ci n i x n a r i, Jan. 21. A morning paper
to-day print a singular story in the form of
an interview w ith one Hiram Jackson, who
represents hi m-elf as traveling for a New
York grocery house. He says, in the course
of a rambling talk, that he was in
Wilkesharre a week ago to-day, and that
while standing at the air compressor of
the Xanticoke mine, where a number of
miners have been imprisoned for oyer a
month, he noticed a kickening odor, which
lie detected to ari-e from human bodies.
Calling to mind that a peculiar rapping hail
been heard o.i this pipe by the rescuing
party, he j uruaileJ the engineer to draw
the air from the pipe and the compressor
Was put to its full tet. A bundle of .sheets
were thrown out, and they were found to be
blank receipts for coal digging, on the back
of which wa written a note, signed by
William Carver. It says: '"We'havc been
in this place, as well as tan be calculated,
seventeen daya. Ten are dead, and all of us
dying. We have been living on the carcass
of a mule." It ays that the imprisoned
men fear fire-damp. The man Jackson, in
telling the story, exhibited the blanks with
Carver's note. Cpon his being asked why
tbi was not divulged at Wilkesharre, he paid
that he was alone with the engineer who
drew the letters out, and begged Jackson to
say nothing because he was afraid the thoek
would kill the women who are interested in
the information.

of pneumonia and was interred in the
country burying grounds on Saturday,
the ground being frozen so hard that the
grave could not be dug sooner. The work of
the ghouls in the country had created
such excitement that fri. n-ls of Tolen
went to the i:rave to see if it was all
rik'ht. It ws found that the dirt was torn
up and the grave was surrounded by fresh
tracks. The eollin was found empty
except for the clothing in which h

Wamiissstos, Jan. 32. To-day was the
nxst eventful day cf the pref-eut Congress.
It will Üa for years in the memory of those
who witnessed it. It will never be erased
from the records of the great tribunal. Page
alter page has been written ilescriptive of
the memorable debates between Llaine, of
Maine, and Jlill, of Georgia, and of the meas
ured .strength of Penj. F. P.utler and the sar
castic John Young Erown, of Kentucky.
These are all events which will live for
ages in the history of the American
Congress. This time it was between a son
from the snow-bound regions of New F.ng
land and a representative of a famous family
at the South Boutelle of Maine, and Wise,
of Yirginia. The question was upon the
Poutelle resolution of the Committee of Naval
Affairs calling upon the Secretary of the
Navy for information relative to the erasures
of certain memorials and removals of Union
soldiers at the Norfold Navy Yard. Herbert,
of Alabama, Chairman of the Committee,
made his report to the House and called for
the previous qneion. This sent consterna
tion to the hearts of the Republicans, which
was followed by two or three hours of fillibus
tering, resulting in a closed chamber and
all absentees ordered to be put under
arrest and brought to the bar of the House.
Finally the motion of Mr. Herbert prevailed,
and fifteen minutes were allowed on a side
for debate. Uoutelle is one of the yountr
members from Maine, this being his second
term in Congress. He enmes from the fa
mous Uoutelle family, of New Kngland, and
is ranked in the House as one of the able
Republican members. His speech was full
of Venom, saturated with gall and dipped
in the dripping gore from the bloody
shirt. The tarnished garment was flauntetl
higher than the tip end of the lightning-rod,
extending beyond the head of the Goddess of
Liberty, crowning the dome of the Capitol.
The old war issues were revived. The old,
old story of the Federals and Confed
erates was swung to the winds. It
was a speech after the fashions
of those delivered by Republican orators in
campaigns for the last twenty years. At
the close of Mr. Poutelle's argument, Mr.
Herbert, chairman of the committee, an
nounced that lion. George D. Wise, of Vir
ginia, would reply to the gentleman from
Maine. By this time every gallery was
crowded. It seemed the entire Capital had
sent its feminine beauties to add to the in
spiration of the hour. When Mr. Wise
arose the utmost silence prevailed. Though
somewhat excited, he bore himself with a
dignity and composure that lent additional
interest to the debate. Word for word
was uttered with the utmost precision,
harder and harder were his blows, until he
had almost annihilated the statesman from
the Pine Tree State. Never before was any
gentleman so completely whipped and out
done as was Mr. Uoutelle. He had awakened
the wrong citizen. Mr. Wise drew a beauti
ful parallel of Republican consistency by
citing the Republican side of the House to
the method of iolitical bossisni by that great
Republican leader, ex - 'on federate Brigadior
General Manone, guerilla Mosby and General
Longstrect. Though brief, as it wa-, the
!eeeh is to-night characterized by men of
both parties as the ereatest of the kind ever
delivered in the House of Representatives.
At the close the. sjeaker was given an ova
tion on the Democratic ide. Hewitt
and men of his conservative type went al
most wild with excitement, shaking hands
was not enough. Old men and young men
alike threw their arms about his necK. lu
lilteen minutes this man who had sat in Con
gress for three terms without ever saying a
word, other than to conscientious cast of his
Vote and lalKjrin for the people, had made
himself illustrious. His name is Wise and
he is from Yirginia. A nephew of the famed
tiovernor and a cousin ot" the late candidate
for Governor of Yirginia on the Republican
ticket. Indiana and her trreat institution of
education can share-with Yirginia the honors

WasHIXotox, Jan. 22. There seems to be
small hopes of any agreement between the
President mid (he Senate Reuublieaiis. hocr-
I ever much they may hope for it. Yesterday
afternoon two or three Republican Senators
went to the White llou-e at the invitation
of the President, and talked with him over
the whole subject. The President said he
desired the heads of the different depart
ments to furnish all the papers on tile in re
lation to the apiomtments, but held that
the Senate had no right to demand
the cause for the suspension of of
ficials. From a olitieal standpoint, the
matter seems to have narrowed down to this
issue, whether or not a majority ot the Sen
ate can compel the executive officers of the
Government to furnish the committee of the
Senate with all the ajers they may call for
on file in tho departments, and the Repub
lican tenators claim that thev have a riiiht
to any paper on file in the department, and
on this they will stand together.
It is now stated that all non-contented
nominations beton- the Senate have been
confirmed, and the others are likely to be
laid over indefinitely until the cour.-e is At.-
! termined upon by the majority.

J the Civil service Commission, with reference

' from persons who had filed application

but on the 1st of January their named were

I aid: "It is no fault of the oinm'sion, b:it

i vides that on names file.l for exainiini-
tion, remaining longer than six month,
' are stricken from the rolls. In
I other words, we are supposed to keep

material or appointment are supplied. For
inMnTX-e, in the State of Indiana there are
over J.Ouu applicants for examination, while
the Hate is entitled to but forty appoint
ments out of l.ooo made; so what is the use
of ixaminjng a lot . of people who can
never expect to be appointed. Certainly they
can take their chances and b 'e their names
for another examination, ft it our duty to

to us as vacant, but where there are no va
cancies being made there is no necessity of
examining a lot of applicants with nö place
to'put them. If the vacancies are made we
will early supply examined applicants, and
the result will be, we can and wilhold
more examinations, and if possible accom
modate all who may apply."
Why are not more vacancies made, asked
your correspondent?
That is just it," continued Mr. Edgerton.
'It is my opinion the Democratic party i
too cowardly to make removals. They have
not got the courage they should have. If
they propose to make removals they should
do it, and not show such lack of courage as
they have shown since the Democratic party
came into power."
I then asked the Commissioner's opinion
with reference to Mr. Vilas' rnlings in re
gard to the appointment of a Superintend
ent of Mails for the States of Indiana, Ohio,
Kentucky and Tennessee, saying he would
appoint none other than those who were ex
perienced. "If that is the method," said the Commis
sioner, "I would like to know what I
am doing here; what experience did I have
with Civil Service commissions until I was
appointed a Commissioner? If the rulo laid
down by the Postmaster General is to apply

Janiov, Jan. 2ö. The Greek Minister in
an interview to-day respecting the warlike
news published this morning from Athens,
said: "The Greek King, Government and
people will fight to the bitter endbefore
they will allow Bulgaria to absorb 1,000,000
people belonging to the Greek race, which
she will certainly do if the union of Bulgar
ia and Eastern Roumelia is recognized.
Greece is fully entitled to the whole of
KrhiniB. Kngland is interfering with the
rights and liberties of Greece. I am confi
dent that the Greeks can whip the Tnrka at
sea. As to the land defenses of Greece, the
moment war is declared, Macedonia -find Al
bania will le set in Ilames, thus cutting oft'
the land communications of the Turks and
attacks on s-aports."
The Greek question occupies the morning
press instead of the Irishone, in view of the
alarmii.g news from Constantinople. The
Times adds: What is to be feared is not so
much reckless acts and moral provocation,
resulting only in mischief and bloodshed,
as attempts to excite risings beyond the
Turkish frontier, which would probably in
volve the whole of Macedonia and reopen
the Kastern question in its fullest extent.
If Greece sets her match to the train no one
can tell where the conflagration will end.
The Daily News saj's: "The news from
Greece is of so serious a character as to de
mand immediate attention from the House
of t omnions." It attacks Lord Salisbury for
interference, and ends the leader with " If
the Britisli navy is to be employed to do the
dirty work of the Sultan, the House of 'om
inous will know the reason why."
On the contrary, the Standard backs up
Lord Salisbury strongly, and taunting the
expected Liberal opposition, says: "If Mr.
Gladstone can manipulate the occasion for
the overthrow of the Government, they will
fall with honor, aud leave him face to face
with the difficulties he has done so much to
aggravate'

Turkey would not be permitted.
The defiant attitude of Greece towards
Turkey, the news of naval preparations by
Kngland and Turkey to compel Greece to de
sist from her warlike preparations, and the
publication of Lord Salisbury's note to the
Greek Government, together with various
rumors, including one that Lord Salisbury

THE IRISH QUESTION.
The t.ovrmmeiit Will Xot Abandon Control
of the Irish Constabulary.
Loxpox. Jan. 2V In the House of Com
mons this afternoon. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach. Chancellor of the Exchequer, said, in
on.wer to a question, that the Government
had no intvntion of abandoning the control
of the Irb-h constabulary.
lr. W. A. Hunter, Liberal member for
North Aberdeen moved an amendment to
the address in reply to the Queen's speech,
denouncing the Government lor having used
the revenues of India to carry on the Bur
mese war. It is stated that the Government
will probably deal with the Irish question at
once."
The Standard complains tliat Mr. Glad
stone's silence will embarrass the Govern
ment. The PameHites. it says, are openly
hostile, looking to the Liberal-to accede to
their demands. The Standard urges Lord
Salisbury to decide his fate by that of the
procedure rules. "If the Conservative Gov
ernment must fail," it continues, "let it fail
with honor. It is necessarj to face events in
Greece and in the Balkans. It is necessary
to have a strong Government a government
that is able to seak with authority for the
English people."
A dispatch from Rome says that the
Montieur De Rome, the organ of the Vatician,
expresses annoyance and disgust at the o;
position displayed in (Queen's speech to the
sundering of the legislative Fnion between
Great Britain and Ireland. The Montieur
longs for the time to come when the worid
shall see Protestanism entirely extirpated
from Ireland and Catholicism universally
recognized.

THE OHIO SENATE.
It Kreakx
I'p Amid ireut
livening.
Con f union I. nat
C"i. i m m s, O., Jan. 2". The Republican
Senate convened at 10 a. m., with all mem
bers present and Democrats absent, as well
as Clerk Yallandigham. President Kennedy
directed the reading of the journal of Sat
urday, after which nothing was done for
want of a quorum. The President retained
the chair, waiting for the arrival of Demo
cratic members. It is expected that this
will be the programme until 4 p. m.. the
hour to which the Democratic Senate ad
journed on Friday. A good-sized lobby is
present, but everything is quiet and the best
of feeling prevails.
There seems to be no definite plan for the
afternoon in the Senate and nothing is being
done by the Republicans except to "ho!dthe
fort." The President is still in the chair
and will remain there till 4 p. m., when the
Democrats come in, and there will no douot
at once be a conflict of authority. The ma
jority has agreed on a general line of action
that no business shall be transacted until an
understanding is reached as to the powers
and differences between the Democratic ma
jority and the presiding oilieer. The Demo
crats will probably make an effort to secure
the appointment of a corcaiittee to
determine- these things. while the
Republicars and the President will
insist upon the order of business defined
p in the minority report of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, which is to proceed
at once to the consideration of the
Hamilton County test cases in open
court. The Democrats, by the aid of
the Clerk, and under the rules which
have been adopted will, in all probability,
be able to defeat the programme of the Re
publicans by declaring an adjournment and
absenting themselves. This will destroy a
ouorum. The feeling between the factions
is more bitter than this morning, and there
will be some demonstrations of a physicial
character this evening, although the
cooler heads on both sides are
councillng against this, and it
is hardly probable that there will
be any disgraceful scenes. Some of the
Democratic Senators who were out of the
city over Sunday have leen arriving on the
forenoon trains, and it is believed they will
be all here at noon. Hamilton 'ounty Demo
cratic Senators, who came in here at that
hour, were accompanies 1 by lion. John F.
Follett and others of that city. A caucus
will be held before the hour of convening
and a committee appointed to Ravechargeof
the conduct of proeeeo ings for the Democrats
in the Senate. The Republicans aho have a
caucus announced for the afternoon, but it
is not probable they will change the pro
gramme which they have agreed upou.
Fx Governor Noves arrived from Cincin
nati at noon, and it is reported will consult
with the Republicans this afternoon as to
any further details.
emocrats are considering in caucus the
advisability of not going into the Senate
Chamber at 4 p m., where the Republicans
are in session the object being not to precip
itate any iersonal conflict, or. rather, to pre
vent the same. The majority will probably
meet in a separate room at the State-houe at
4 p. m., and approve the journal. (ne of the
number may bedesignated to go into the Re
publican Senate with a resolution for the
appointment of a committee to consider the
relations between the President and the Sen
ate, and report. This matter is being consid
ered in the caucus, but may meet with some
opposition on the ground that some of the
more radical members do not want to ex
tend this much recognition to the Republi
can Senate.
A rejort comes from the Democratic cau
cus that they are considering a resolution
declaring vacant the seat of Kemp, Repub
lican from the Dayton District, in which the
Soldiers' Home is located, and irregularities
in the election are alleged. The report is
denied by one of the Democratic members.
Governor Foraker is preparing a couple of
messsages to send to the Republican eenate,
now in session, in order to recognize that
body ollicially.
The Democratic caucus ha d-cided they
will not hold a separate session, but will en
ter the Senate Chamber promptly at 4 p. in.
The Republicans, still in session, ay that
unless the Iemocrats are on hand promptly
at that hour they will adjourn.
The Senate Chamber is becoming jammed
with spectators as the hour for the joint con
vening approaches. There is some bad blood
and wild talk, but no aj -parent danger of per
sonal encounter. The parliamentary fight
will likely be one of authority between tue
I'resident and Clerk. The latter says he will
stand by the majority, under the rule.
The Sergeant-at-Arms and Assistants have
commenced to clear the fioor of the lobby,
and are getting ready for the Democrat'
members. The surging mass is about eo
