White's homo orjan f.t Valparaiso charged that the letter -was gotten up inTuEBECofBceandjdenouncedm&aaa elandcrer. The proof of the pudding Is In the eating thereof , llichardson was down hero last week working hard for Paddnsk. , and White has told sav- oral merobew that ho intended to vote for " P tddoek , although ho still claims to "ba an anti monopoly mm. Whlto fcays i'addock is ready to siga the Farmers' Alliance pledge , aad I presume - sumo Church Howe aud Sterling Morton , who figured so prirmnentlf in the grange tnoromeat , some yeara ago , a * cappers of the railroads , are also roWy to join the Farmero' AJH- nr > i. Paddock never refuses to sign Uny plodgea when he is a candidate. Six yoara ago ho signed a pledge that he would turn democrat when the bourbons captured the White House. Ho signed a pledge to the democrstc delegation of Ofeo county to give thorn control of the federal patronage cf their county , but in a I seriousness I would ask , how could any antimonopoly - monopoly nnn vote for Paddock , who wag a railroad man when ho went in to the acn&to , and for six years baa cast his vote for the monopolies ttvery time ? His vote on the Thurman bill ftlono ehotild bur him from efer re ceiving support from any anti mo nopoly man. Senator White , I am creditably informed , screed it > trans fer the vote of his colleague , Scott , to Paddock as part of the ban.nio. If be does , I predict they will meet a warm reception if ever ifapy return to Siucdsrs county. The sme agen cies that have operated on White ap pear to draw several members , who were elected acd pledged an antiUnion - Union Pacific men , into the Paddock drag-net. Among these , I regret to loam , arc Senators Burns of Dodge , Emus of Butler and Polk ; Represent atives Joneen of Butler , and Roberts , the successor of Wheelply , and Loveland - land , who both sold out to the mo nopoly two and four yeara ago. All these men represent districts intense ly anti-monopoly. How they c n ever face their betrayed constituents pae'cs comprehension. Mr. Diusmorc , who represents Fillmore - more and Clay counties , never could have been elected bad he intimated an inclination to support Paddock. Dins- more is a banker , and I venture he never would employ a man addicted ! to gambling in his bank , but he pro poses to thrust the moat responsible position within the gift of this state vpan a man addicted to stock gam bling. ; Paddock is wrought up by my ex , posure of his gambling operations. He denies the soft impeachment , but there area dozen responsible witnesses right hero who would substantiate my statements. On this point 1 will elab orate in toy next letter , to that no ruambor of the legislature can g back to his constituents after voting for ?

WASHINGTON. HOUSB. Special Dtepatch to Tha Bec WASHINGTON' , Jannary 16. After the committee had been called this mcrnintr , Mr. Wood moved to po into comnrittbo on the funding bill , and rith a visKTjT getting along with the bill ) ho moved a limited debate on thu first section , and all amendments thereto to ten re ante1. AllnttcutpU to extend the t mj were fruitless and the motion of 5IK Vr'ood was adopted and then the house went it to com mittee , with Mr Covert , of New York , in the chair. The pending question was upon Sir. Anderson's amendments to author.'za theissue _ of currency notes not bearing interest , and for the retirement of national bank notes. Mr. Price inferred that Mr. An derson would accomplish nnthifcr. but ho woul l simply eixhvn : e dno United States note ToT another. Mr. AndeYaou argued that it would relieve the fjovernmnntof the expense to which it WFI now put by the nation al banks aud would save the payment of interest un 343,000,089. Mr. Fryu gave notice of ri substitute for the BeclioK to increase the rate cf interest to vH per cent. , and to isne a ehort bond. The question vrati tnsn taken on Mr , Andttr.cli"s amendment and it was'reiacted yoas43naya 108. MrDibrell's amendment , offered on Thursday , imposing an income tax , and to apply the money arising from the tax , to the payment nf interest on the bonda , was decided to be nut of ordrtrtecauso it vrajjnot germain to the section. Mr. Price , of towo , offered an amendment to repeal the stamp lax on b uk checks. It wat ruled out on a point of order. Mr. McLine , of Maryland , offered a substitute to authorize thp iesiia rf bonds of treasury certificates of de nominations not less than ten doll-ra and not exceeding fifty million del lars , bearing'interest at Sjr pei cent , and payable Jn ten years , and not more than ten million of said bonds and certificates shall bs redeemed in auy one fiscal year. Mr. Wood made a point of order against the substitute because it charged a rate of interest which was already fixed by the committee. The chair aufttaiued Hio point of or der. der.Mr. Mr. McLane appealed from the de cision of the chair , and a discussion was arislntr , when , at the suggestion of Mr. Rindall , the point of order ' was withdrawn nd the vote was al lowed on Mr. McLano'aBubsiitute. It was rejected yeas 97 , nays 108 Mr. Fryo said his substitute em braced substantially the same proposi tions as were contained in McLane's , and he regarded tHe voio just taken as an indication of tbo tcntiioenl of tte house. Ho would nrt. therefore , ask -vote on his substitute. The first section was then passed. Mr. Carlisle , of Kentucky , moved to add the following to the third sec tion : "Tho secretary of the treasury is hereby authorised and directed to make suitable rules and regulations to carry this act into effect , provided that the expenses of preparing , issu ing , advertising and disposing of the bonda shall not exceed one fourth of ono per con * . " Mr. Claflin , of MMJ. , moved to make the amount one-half of one par cent. He did not believe the bonda could ba placed for a loss amount. Mr. Carlisle said that one-fourth of nno per cout. would give a cost of $1- 750,000 for placing the bonds. Mr. ClsflinV amendment wis reject- ad and Mr. Carlisle's amendment was adopted. Before action could be taken on the imendment by Mr. Carlisle , Mr. Weaver moved that the committee rise. rise.Mr. Mr. Wood said ho hoped to com pete the bill to-day , at least In the jomtnittee of the whole , but as many nembers wanted to have Mr. Carlisle's imendment aiplained , ho did not op pose the motion , and the committco rose and the house adjourned.

The split in the ranks of tha home rulers has greatly weakened Ihe Irish pirty. It is rumored that Mr. Parnell haa reaolVed to use all forma of the house to oppose the coercion bU : which is set down for to-day , and that the Paraell party will threaten that the government will bo compelled to a us pend or imprison tha membera before the coercion measures are pissed. Mr. Parcel ! claims thai the government frants to force premature rebellion in order to a ippress tlje loagtio organizi- tion. Irish members are greatly dis appointed by the email radical vote against coercion , as thirty were expect to support Mr. P < trneH'a amendment.

There ia a decided feeling in English parlhinentiry c'rcles that Parnell'o patty will ccmfmit n rerious error in further opposing the direct legislative measures entertained by the m'nistry toward Ireland.

Special Dispatch to The Becv WASEIXOTON , January 17 , 1 a. m. AJengthy article has been going the rounds of tha press , and recently appeared In one of the city papera here , announcing the startling prediction that there was great danger of the world coining to an end smno.tiine during this year. The prophesy was a little more definite than the famous prophesy of Mother Shiptonfor it detailed - tailed the manner in which the earth's destruction was to bo accomplished. This was in brief ; that there is at preeent in the unlverso a body , small in size , by reason of its distance from the sun , but almost inconceivably dtiiiso by reason of the amount of mat ter which ia crowded into it , which is proceeding directly toward the sun. tiome time during this year , the pre diction alleged , thh great mass would fall into our luminary , and the im mense heat suddenly generated there by would destroy all the higher forms of life on the earth. It was very soberly stated. The people at the poles , al though their temperature would no doubt be increased , might possi bly survive this terrible heat , and thus repeoplo the oirth. The event thus detailed was called a cataclysm. It was either true or not true , and to settle the question , which certainly possesses considerable Individual in terest , a reporter has been obtaining viewa of the government astronomers on the subject. Prof. Holt , though able to discover Mar's satellite , has not yet found the comet , which ia to play an important part in the destruc-1 tion of the world. "It is the first time I have been made aware of the impending danger , " ho said , aa he glanced over the article which the re porter showed him. "But can there be any foundation for auch a prediction ? " "Only m this , that I have seen somewhere a statement that tha comet of 1812 was to return about this time , but wo knew nothing certain. Indeed it is impossible to know anything positive about comets. Wo can only observe eucn a very small portion oi their immense orbits , that wo cannot estimate their retnrn with precision , but the likelihood of its falling into the sun , or striking the earth , even if it did return , u infinitely email.
