POSTSIASTEll's COMMISSIONS.
WASHINGTON , D. 0. January 22.
JPostmastor General Groaham has sent
circulars to postmasters saying ho has re
ferred to Judge Drummond , of the fed-
errl cuurt of Chicago , for decision
the question whether postmasters are en
titled to commissions on money order
business when the work in connection
with it is done by clerks , and not by the
postmasters personally. The decision
will bo based on the case of the post
master at Bloomington , 111. The attor
ney general recently decided that clerks
being government employes , postmasters
had no right to this money , and must re
fund. The question is complicated and
affects many 'postmasters and ox-post
masters , some of whom-nro now insol
vent , and the government would
have to look to their bondamon if the
opinion of the attorney noneraLjb adopt
ed by the postotlico dupa'rtmcfrraR' ' Judge
Drummond's decision will probably gov
ern the action of the department. Pending
ing a decision the ppstmasto. general in
forms postmasters affected that their
cases will not bo pushed. . .

Mr. Reagan's inter-state commerce
bill was discussed in the house committee

ment making the bill applicable to all
common carriers engaged in the trans
portation of property from ono state to
another whether by land or water , was
disagreed to. Consideration of meas
ures of rotailiation against Franco and I
Germany were postponed to the next t
repular meeting.
The secretary of the Mississippi river
convention has already received the
names of 350 delegates selected to attend 1

THE FORTY-EIGHTH CONGUESS ,
hKNATC.
WAniiiNnTON- . January 22. Mr. Cam
eron ( rep. Wis. ) from the committee on
Indian affairs reported adversely n nunv
ber of petitions asking the opening ol
the Oklahoma lands for settlement.
Mr. Hoar ( rep. Mass. ) introduced a
bill , the objoctof which is to prevent tin
h ! circulation in the mails of this count rj
U ; of lottery advertisements coining fron
foreign countries.
At the conclusion of the mornin )
business Mr. Anthony's ( rep. R.,1. ) reso
lution relating to the prohibition o )
American pork by Franco and Gorman ;
was called up and Mr. Bock ( dom. Ky , ,
proceeded to address the senate. Refer
ling to discriminations against our com
mercu by France through the tarrilf. Mi
Beck laid up to 1881 , when a modifica
tion woa effected , nearly every article n
Ameiican manufacture including cotto
and woolen goods was absolutely urohib-
ited from entering the ports of _ Franco.
The modification then was an improve
ment , but still It loaves American manu
factures substantially prohibited while in
the case of the trade of England and
Germany with Franco there are treaties
by which a general tariff of 10 per cent
operates. This gives England and Ger
many BO much advantage over the United
States in trade relations with Franco as
to amount to a practical prohibition , be-
cnnso our goods cannot compete in
Franco with thoao countries. The sug
gestion of rotailiation against the foreign
governments would only have the effect
to injure American commerce.
Mr. Beck continued : ' 'Our ' manufac
tures have boon excluded for years from
Franco. Why did \ro not want retalia
tion then ? Because our manufactures
were not seeking foreign markets. If wo
exclude Gorman and French wines it
will reduce the demand for our alcohol ,
and the complaint will then bo hoard wo
cannot sell our alcohol or our hogs. What
I dcsiro is a thorough investigation of
the whole subject of discrimination ,
whether by tarill'or otherwise. Wo by
our tariffs prohibited those foreigners
trading with the United States , and they
exorcise n similar right in refusing to
allow us to trade with them. Franco re
ceives imports from the Gorman nation ,
between which and herself there are
strong differences of national fooling ,
but she does this because it is for her in
terest to do BO. "
Mr. Logan ( rep. 111. ) did not under
stand that the sort of legislation referred
to was injurious to our own interests ,
Ho was in favor qf giving the president
the power to exclude foreign wines or
other articles which , on examination ,
are declared injurious , on the very prin
ciple that Franco and Germany excluded
our moats. The meats of America are
the most healthful in the world , more so
than those of Franco and Germany.
In justice to ourselves vo should exclude
foreign adulterations while foreigners
exclude our meats.
Mr. Miller ( rep. N. Y. ) did not think
the senate prepared now to say wo should
enter upon a course of absolute retalia
tion. Senators should not act hastily.
The senate would not say at this stage
of information whether the claim of Ger
many was not honestly entertained.
Mr. Logan thought congress ought to
pass a general law authorizing the presi
dent to protect American interests ,
when congress is not in session , against
embargoes laid on our exports by foreign
countries. <
Mr. Maxoy ( dom.Tex. ) said if wo start
out with retaliation wo do not know
whore it may end. It may end on wheat
or cotton. Wo should not assume that
these foreign nations would falsify facts
and thproforo in proposing retaliatory
legislation wo should make sure of the
facts.
The resolution was amended and
agreed to as follows :
Jicsolvcd , That the committee on for
eign relations bo iustruced to inquire into
and report to the senate such legislation
aa wil protect our interests against those
governments which have prohibited or
restrained the importation of meats from
the United States ; and the committee is
further instructed to report what dis
criminations are made against exports
from the United States by the tariff laws
of the principal countries of Europe and
America , especially Franco , Germany ,
Mexico and Brazil , by reason of com
mercial or other special treaties or
agreements , with more favored nations ,
and report the causes which led to such
discriminations and what oiforts , if any ,
have been made to remove them , and
what legislation is necessary to place the
United States on an equal footing with
the most favored nations , this investiga
tion , however , not to delay the committee -
too on the first branch of the resolution.
The senate next took up the bill to
provide a civil government for Alaska.
During the course of the discussion Mr.
Ingalls ( rep. , Kas. ) remarked that the
Monroe doctrine was written on the map
of America , and its manifest destiny in
dicates that our northern shore will bo
washed by the Polar sea , nnd the south
ern boundary will bo the inter oceanic
canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts , Apart trom what value lays in
this idea he thought Alaska the most
worthless territorial acquisition any gov
ernment ever was alllicted with.
Without reaching a conclusion of the
bill the senate went into executive ses
sion , and soon after adjourned.
IIOU.SK.
Mr. Parker ( rep. , N. Y. ) offered a
resolution reciting that it is alleged that
the interests f American agriculturists
and dairymen are greatly injured by the
manufacture of oloomargorino and but-
terino , and directing the committee on
agricultuio to inquire into the allegations
and ascertain the facts. Roforrcd.

PiTTSiiUHa , January 22. At 10 o'clock
this morning the jury in the great Nutt
trial returned a verdict of not guilty on
account of insanity at the time the act

entrances to the court housp wore besieged -
sieged by a crowd far exceeding in num
bers the attendance of any day since the
trial. The doora wore opened at 9 o'clock
and the court room was soon filled.
Promptly nt 9:30 : the court opened and
the prisoner was escorted to a seat. His
countenance were a look of most pro
found anxiety now changing to ono of
confidence as words of encouragement
were vrhisporod into his oar , again put
ting on an air of despondency aa ho
thnught the jury might perhaps find him
guilty flitted across his mind. The
muscles of his face twitched nervously
and other movements of the body indi
cate his mind was ill at ease. To his
counsel ho stated ho slept only two Ijours
last night. The curiosity of the audience
was intense , andat every rustle or commo
tion at the door , there would bo a turn
ing of heads and stretching of nocks.
The jury filed in at 0o7 : a. in. , and as
they seated themselves the silence was op
pressive. After the usual questions the
prisoner was ordered to stand up , but ho
was so weak that ho had to bo assisted to
his foot. The foreman then announced
the verdict and the crowd , which
was with difficulty restrained dur
ing the day , gave vent
to their approval by a loud cheer which
the immense crowd outside took up and
answered back and another cheer wont
up from those inside. Finally order was
restored and the prisoner remanded to
jail until to-morrow , when ho will bo ex
amined by a committee as to his
present mental condition. Mrs.
Nutt and Lime wore not present.
They remained at the residence of Major
Brown , vrhoro the glad tidings was quick
ly convoyed to them. Congratulatory
dispatches are pouring in on them from
all points.
Several exports will be examined to
morrow , but Nutt a counsel express
themselves as confident that ho will ba
released. The hearing is necessary to
satify the court that ho ia a proper per-
non to bo at largo. The law providea
that when a person is acquitted of any
offense by reason of insanity the jury
should so declare , and the court shall
have power to order him kept in strict
custody so long as such person shall beef
of unsound mind.

Sr. Louis , January 22. Nearly all
the rail mills , iron works , furnaces nnd
stove foundries in this city have either
closed or nro running at half their ca
pacity. All the glassworks are closed
nnd there ia great depression in nil
classes of building , throwing 8,000 men .
out of employment. The reason for j.o
this condition of affairs ia over produc o
tion nnd poor markets , the unsettled
fooling respecting what congress will dote
to the tariff , the question of strikes and
general _ winter depression in building.
No particular suffering exists among the
idle mon but a gloomy depressed fooling
exists. A letter was rocoivpd here to
day by n leading firm in the iron interest
from a large iron house in Now York
which says there ia an under-current of
improvement in the iron market , and tbo
public is beginning to recognize it. Buy

The president of the iron company says
ho regards the outlook as encouraging for

OAUGHT BY "THE WHEELS ,
Uio Fatal Accident In the
B at I'nolllo Junction.
Correspondence of TUB UEK.
PAOIKIO JUNCTION , January 22,1881.
The coroner's jury have rendered a ver
dict in the case of Grant Anderson , the
man killed last night in the Chicago ,
Burlington & Quincy yards ut this place ,
it being "accidental. "
Th o facts of this ten iblo affair are as
follows :
1 The mon came over from Plattsmouth
on the late train nnd were down in the
yard hunting for un oast-bonnd freight
with the intention of going to Corning ,
Ia. , whore ono of thorn has two sisters
living. In going through the yards they
undertook to crawl through under the
cars to got to another train. When
nearly through , the "pony" cot some
moro cars in on the track , t > Mik ng the
others and moving them itbaut three or
four car lengths. Both men were under
ono car and Anderson waa the first man
caught. Ho foil over on the other
man , pinning him to the track and mak
ing it impossible ror him to got out. An
derson was horribly mutilated , having
13 been rolled for some little distance before
7 the wheels pussnd over him. Ho was
11 dead when lotind , his overcoat being fast
under the whopls of the car. James
Ditto , the other man , rolled some little
ways from the track after the car passed
10 over him. His loft leg waa badly ehat-
id tored below the knoo. Whether ho was
otherwise injured or not , the doctors
ill have not decided as yet. His limb will
bo amputated as soon as possible by Dr.
Basbysnull , the company's surgeon , of
Glemvood , assisted by Dr. Crawford , of
is this place , and Dr. James Donolan , our
to cliicient coroner.
/ . Both men wevo respectably dressed ,
or and Anderson had considerable money in
his possession. Ditto will probably get
through , if not internally injured , as ho
seems to bo a robust young man. Both
10 are from Illinois. This is the worst ao-
cidont that haa happened in these yardi
for eomo time.
The "Q" now line have done evoiy-
thing in their power , not only for iis"
dead , but for the wounded man. Ditto
rd was taken to the Laolodo hotel , and ia
ch being well cared for.
Business at the Junction is increasing
a little since the holiday trade aubsideo ,
and the men are kept pretty bu y in all
departments.
