HOUSE.
WASHINGTON , December 9. Chnlmors In
troduced a bill to restore the republican form
of government to the state of Mississippi ,
lioferrod.
Deriaivo laughter from the democratic side
greeted the reading of the title of this bill. It
provides that congressional and state election :
bo held on the aamo day in that state and
each candidate ) for congress : ahall be parmlttoi
lo appoint in writing ono ( inspector and one
clerk at each voting jirscinct , who shall bo
permitted to witness * all proceedings. It is
7nido n crime punishable by n fine nnd in ;
prisonment for any person to nssault , intlmi
date , threatenor insult nny inspector or clerk.
The consideration of the inter-stato com-
jnerco bill was resumed. Barksdnlo addressed
the house in : i constitutional argument iu sup
port of the right of congress to legislate on the
r\ subject.
D.nia , of Illinois , supported the commit-
-tea's bill , though ho would ha\o preferred u
measure simply providing fer the commission
as the firat step. The appointment of the
commission would accomplish moro good than
any ironclad statutes. Ilpar favored _ the np-
pofntment of the commission tof inquiry with
power to inquire into each particular casa of
injustice on the part of railroads nnd to compel -
pol the company to furnish all data necessary
to investigate each transaction , Uoognn'H sub
stitute , Herr assorted , discriminated in favor
of roads In the certain states and against these
which necessarily went through several states.
It would strike down all cheap rates of west
and noutji and chuap transportation of flour
and wheat from Kansas nnd Minnesota would
be a thing of the past. It would [ nit dear bread
jntothq mouths of thu working millions in the
east instead of cheap broad. Ho had
no sympathy with that class of men
who umply imeighcd ngalnet rail
road companiei bacauso thay were
corporations. It was u cheap kind of busi
ness for men to go about crying "Monopoly. "
The great wealth of Could and Vanderbilt
had not been taken from the pockets of the
laboring men. Tno roads they built they paid
for. They had nude money bybuyintf poo'rlv
managed roads , pulling brains into them and
malting them profitable. Their gains were
legitimate. They made money in another
way. Not from the laboring men. but from
men who went into Wall street 'and thought
they were smarter than "those old fellows , "
If it could be proven to him thnt railroads
were becoming prosperous by extortionate
charges he would go as far ns any man to cor
rect the evil. Weaver favored the substitute
bill. Adjourned ,

WASHINGTON , December ! ) . Friends cf the
educational bill , which grants noino ceventy
odd millions of dollars 'to aid the common
schools of the country nro much encouraged
by the developments ninco the return of con-
grees. ' 'I find" Raid Willis , talking of its
prospects of passafo , "that the bill la much
stronger than it was last session , the ( act is
that tno people nro ahead of the members of
congrojii In this matter , The members as
they came back tell me that they beard from
the failure to pans this bill everywhere , Thit
Is especially true of the south. They say that
the people are talking of It and demanding its
passage there. Theru are many who were un !
willing to vote for It lost eoeslon who will
readily do eo this time , It becomes obvious ,
even nt this early date , that there
is to bo a very vigorous fight against
Minuter Foster's now treaty with Spain
and it would not be nt nil nurprhing if the
opposition wonld ho sufficiently strong to defeat -
feat it. There will bo three very strong bus.
inos interests apnlnat It. Thn first will ba
the sugar growers of the south. The second
will bo the sugar Importers and refinern who
arc wealthy corporations as they can sou that
with the duty removed they are liable to n
much greater competition from refiners with a
email capital ; third , tbo tobacco growers who
see that the reduction of the duty on Gnban
tobacco will to just that oitent injure the
business of growing native tobacco and the
opposition from thuu threu onrcen is going to
IH > very strong when united In n common
cause. The sugar growers am men of large
means nud largo invested Interests , The
sugar refiners are much more abla in a finan
cial way and tlio tobacco people are also very
numerous and quit" Biiccesslnl as lobbyists.
The opponents of the treaty will urge that It
Is ( Imply throwing away dtitiei amounting to
$50,000,000 for thu suko of adding one-fourth
orat tlio most one-half the sum to onr trade
with Cuba and Porto llio ) , while the carrying

f over two hundred bogus ballots in the HOC-

weeks after thu day of election , and when
liese ballots were In the custody of the county

cipal item being the employment of GOI

Wrwht eays : "I bliill not bo surprised If I

improbable that timely care and provlaioi
in this matter may save us the horrors o

dated September 2'Jth , and is n reply by Phil
lips to the letter from Wright : "You nro in

Wright's letter of September 25th , as to
whether there is any authority of law for em
ploying thirty special deputing for Immediate

'Wo hold matters well In hand"ho s.iya "iu

BALTIMORE , December 7. Just four weeks
; o the third Plenary council of the Catholic
lurch In the United States was opened In this
ty , nnd between that day and this thn house
[ bishops and the college of theologians , as-
sled by the twelve committees , have dls-
uisod mid completed the scheme arranged
uring the vieit of the American prelates to
.01110. Dining the secret sessions of these
nen of learning very little has bconmado pub-
o of the buulnesa transacted by thu army of
iKiilturios , but from that Hltla uotiBidorahle
las been learned in lengthy interviews with
IB leading inumborB of tbo council.
The most Important work before the body
was the Introduction of thu canon law. Tlio
real objection found to the Introduction uf
lieso laws was that the church was not sufli-
iontly prennircd In Homo provinces
o resolve it. This drawback rested mainly
n the wcsUrn and northwestern
: ates nnd territories , where even the luwa of
IB government are not thoroughly enforced ,
'hen it was decided to adopt these laws in thu
irovineos that am thoroughly orcuni/.ed , and
o much of them ns could bo need in the states
nd territories where thu church had not
eiiched a normal state. Naturally , u great
mount of labor was caused by Urn decision ,
nd It wan on that account prlnclpilly that It
waa necessary to continue the sosulob * of the
ouncil one week longer than the time appoint *
d. The church in thu United States , there. '
ore , is an orgunl/ed body , governed by the
anon laws of Trent , and la no longer a mis.
onary institution , only in inch states and
orritorles where the laws conld not bo Intro
need.
Durlntr the first Htsslons there was con-
derublu fcomment on thu round dancing
urntlou. Thu question was not brought
eforo the body , as it was prohibited by the
Council of I860. It is likely , however , that
10 people will be reminded of the fact hi the
> -wtonU letter , which will bu read in the
( lurches as noon M the bUhopo and priests
roturu to thnlr diocfjset and pitltho * . Thi

will ndorii the head of the "ptimato" of thn
American church , Archbishop OlbtHtiin ; nm
this is what tha prelates uf the council ovpcc
nnd "tali for.
In this ] connection Ihcro nro mirroruus
polnU which fiivo the cnttcrn chur luts n
strong reason to rxport this honor to bo con
ferred on Archbishoj ] Olbboiu. Kirst , it Iris
been the custom of the pope to admit to the
college of cirtllnnls tlio npostolio dolrgnlo
who preaidiH over the plonaty counciN. This
has been tlio custom In other countries whort
the church is thoroughly oiginl/ul , nm.
thfroforo it in "expected hoto. tjrcoudly ,
Archb'shop Gibbons is considered the primnto
of the Catholio church In Anioncn , nnd lael

and his nl illty to ( ill thu ollico of n ineniboi

Jjinco the last plenary council there 1ms boon

fact nlono is ulliclcnt to show hie fitness lor

nnld he cnred nothing for any annoyance thnt
gentleman might attempt against the adminis

ed Hint Ins administration should bo such as to
merit the approval of thn country , nnd ho did
not Imhovo that Colliding or nny other ono
man could successfully oppose It , but I could
not bring myself lo look upon the mnttcr in
thnt light , und I brought to bear whnt opposi
tion 1 could to Mr. Conkling's return to the
Honate. An ho has opposed my political n d-
vnncotnont 1 hnd n perfect right to retaliate in
kind. Ho was defeated nnd thus mattorn-
stood until the approach of the national con
vention , when I wna put iu the field for the
nomination by my friends. I had doubts tu
to the propriety of my taking the position with
no powerful opponent nt large , but I was ns-
Htirod that Mr , Conkling had turned
HIS LUCK ON rOUTIC.H.
nnd that ho would tnku no part in the ganvnsa
for either tlio nomination or the , election. In
addition to this I wns visited by committees
nud written to from nil pectiousj ol the country
urging mo to consent to the use ot my name
before the convention. I finally yielded nnd
Btill the nssurnncos came. Meantime I had
taken the pains to learn the foollngj of Mr.
Conkling.
"At first. " continued Mr. Ulnino , "ho wns
< inito reticent simply enying ho was at pres
ent devoted to his profession nnd wns out of

ception of Baying thnt ho hoped the coin en-
tlon.
WOOLl ) NOHINATK A MAN.
This was Interpreted ns n moaning thnt ho
would rather ecu mo nominated than Presi
dent Arthur. I contest that my native vanity
was touched bv this explanation nnd I felt
Bomo relief. The convention mot and I wns
nominated. Thu campaign opened. The
October result in Ohio olntod us nil. Still I
hnd misgivings concerning New York. I wont
tu Ohio nnd the Went , it la true , but these
who thought or Btlll think I under estimated
the Importance of Njw Yor ) . nre much mis
taken. 1 wan extremely desirous uf vinlt'mg
Nuw York state , nud BO informed the national
committee. Just then the nnnoimcuinont vrna
made thnt Mr. Colliding would up nk. I wns
in Indiana when this announcement wan
made nnd yon will recollect it was eaid I waa
broken down , etck , or wns becoming unman
ageable , Tbeio reports ; were not exactly
true , but I will confess the rupert concerning
Mr. Conkling broke me up considerably.
The first report concerning him did not ntato
on which side ho would speak , but I felt
( insured It would nut bo In behalf of my elec
tion. I won bound eastward , but I h.iltul to
luurn dolinitoly what wore Mr. Conklug'n ! In-
tontioiiB. I was informed that ho was. will
ing
TO KNTKIl INTO A COMPACT
with mo , the substance of which was thnt I
should stny out c f Now York utnto. If I
would ngroo to that ho antd he would make no
speeches , but If 1 went on the stump in that
ntnto he would follow mo nnd do nil ho could
Lo defeat mo. Ho pnid there was yet an un
settled question between liimeolf and mo ns to
who wns held in the highest esteem by thu re-
mibllcan party In the state of Nuw York.
I Iu wax willing , ho said , to uubinit the ipiosj-
Lion to thu people now without argument but
if I wanted to argue it ho would most willing
ly meet me. I wia willing to nrguu the ques
tion , but agreed tu nbldo by tlio decision of
my friends. After consultation it was decided
to do notlilug which would
11IIINO A NKW IHSIIK
into the campaign , nnd ono which could not
bo dignified into nnj thing of greater magni
tude than n permmul or n family quarrel.
Thlu contented Mr. Conkling , and ho re
mained out of politics governed by the ne
cessity which compel ed him to devote himself
to his profetslon The question wrnt to the
republicans of Now York state , ns Mr. Conk-
ling wnnted it to go , nnd hu won the victory ,
iinl now I must frankly say. " snld Mr.
Illninu , with animation , "Mr. Conkling ban
md his revenue. I don't nay I kept him out
if the uunato , but I certainly did nil I could
do to prevent his return and hu lias prevented
my election to thu pretidoncy. I am glad I
did not go into Now York. With Mr. Conking -
ing following mo nnd with such n

an he was capable of cv ncing , the result I
.lilnk could not liavn bet otherwise than it
iuB.--.ind wo lm\o both I m spared the con-
lemplntion of what woould have Bald. I
nn content my election ns not to bu. Under
lie circumstances 1 cam'u < very near carrying
Now York state , but I might just an wollTiavo
lost it by 10J.GOO. I feel Batlstied that all was
lonu Hint could bu done , only Mr. Conkling
could hnvu given the Btatu to mo and he would
not. Perhaps I could ' ive eouurod his return
.o thu senate , but I would not ; but ho baa
luaton me threu tlmej to my once boating him.
Ho prevented my nomination In 1K7C and 1880 ,
and defeated my election in 1881. '
Mr. lilalne evinced not a particle of feeling
luring the entire relation. His demeanor wcs
oven moio than usually frank and matter of
