Sir Charles Russell demanded that thi'
letter be produced
Houston here said that hu hud forgotten
receiving It. On being further pressed ,
Pigott voluntarily exclaimed : "I may say
at once that the statement 1 miido to Arch
bishop XX'ulsh xvas unfounded. "
This statement produced u sensation. Hir
Chiirles Uussell then said to xvitness : "You

question by Picsidmg Justice Iiiiinien , xvit-
jiess said lie xx'as not sum that ho had re

quoted from a letter xvrltlcn by Pigott to
Archbishop Walsh on May 1'J. XXitncbs
said he could not say xvhat the latest pio-io
Billon mentioned in Ihu leller meant. He
only icuicmbaied making ono proposition ,
namely , that he had been shown compromis

us to the genuineness of thu letter * , he had
stilted that tlio letters credited to Parncll
were rather doulitful.
Tins statement created a sensation in the

Witne.ss further testified that he would not

President Ilussoy , in stating the object ol
the convention , said that it had beet" called
to orcaniru a state association of mastei
plumbers , and that the object of the usioc-lu-
lion to be formed will be the mutual piotoiv
tion against imposition , injusticeorencroach-
ments upon the common rights ol its mem
bers , and to advance s ( lentilic sanitari pro
gress .mil improvements , encouraging iiixon-
tions anil improvement4 in smllurv ap
pliunecs , and to promote amicable rotations
with employes on a basis of mutual interest
and equitable Justice to both journeyman and
master plumber alike.
A committee of three was appointed to pre
pare u constitution and by-laws to govern the
association.
Mr.O'Neill introduced for the consideration
of the convention bill uow nsnding before
the state legislature providing for the llecns-
ing of plumbers in towns of over S,00 ( ) inhab
itants. The measure is very stringent unil
makes a number of provisions that the uiom-
bei.s of the association cpnsider entirely im
practicable , and that as the association had
not tune at tins session to prepare such
amendment ! * as they conuidcre 1 necessary , M
was decided that a committee be bent to Lin-
i-oln from the convention and urce the with
drawal ot the bill. Messrs. O'Neill , Kors-
ineycr and Orr were appointed as such com
mittee.
Messrs. Orr , MoMahon , F. D. Hussoy ,
Phillins and Frank Barclay were appointed
: i legislative committee to esamito into the
bill , revise it if found practicable or prepare
i new bill if it should bo considered that any
legislation is necessary , such bill being llrst
iiiosentcJ to the next meeting of the associa
tion.

jtirti the licensing of master plumbers and
; ho registration of journeymen plumbers ami

.reduced by It. L. Boilin.
Under the act a license cannot bo granted
; o persons or llrms who have not served an
ippienticoslup of three years at the trade ;
itul no person not iegii tered In the hoard of
icullh shall alter or repair sanitary fixtures ;
ill draining and plumbing in cities uf-
'ccted by the act shall be done under tlio
uporvision of an oflleer appointed by the
ward of health , .and work declared dofec-
ivo by such an oflleor shall bo repaired by
, ho owner or lessco of the lot. Tlio bill also
nakos it unlawful for any master plumber
o employ any but registered journeymen ,
leciarea any violations of the act a imsde-
niMiior , and provides penalties on neglect to
lomply with its requirements.
President Hussey denounced the action of
ilr. lluxsey in Introducing the bill without

lull he hud the assurance of tti.it gentleman
> oforo tils departure lor Lincoln that ho
vould notify this association of any attempted
ivislation in anywise concerning them.

Americans , whether in business or pie isurc ,
are worn out long before their time. Some
of them have apparently como to the conclu
sion that the only use u man has for his body
is to hang his clothes upon it. If the present
iirogicssive action is kept iq > , it will piy
men financially , to build their shops without
windows , and tinsl to artificial light to dis
play their wares. How differently the news
ol to-day is brought to the homes of tlio
people compared with n hundred yeais ago.

for the grand work that 1ms siuco immort.il-

ihanjed his opinion
Mr. Anderson of lowrt snid at ono time 1
had felt ihat , in consequcnert of the nssiul
mndu b\ General Uosecrans upon Generi
Grant , ho could never forgive General Uosc
crnns. Hut he had changed with time , an
hud coniu to the conclusion that the muni
thing to do In view of the great InDrmltlt
of human nature which attached to tl
greatest heroes , was to vote for this bill.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois said he was not vo
Ing to put General Uoseerans on the retire
list because of what he hud said , hut hi
cattse of what ho had done , and he heiune
that It L'lvssos S Grant could bo called f roi
the grave and stand in this presence h
would bo broad enough and grand enough t
sweep nsido the scenes which took pine
after the war , arising from passion and prc
udlce , and say , "I ivlll vote to put Iheimni
of this man on the retired list tn obedienc
to the w.shes of the great body of the toldlei
In the Into war , and on account of his sei
vices in the war. "
Mr. Mobiles of Iowa wns nstonlshed tliti
nn.v true friend of tlrntit should arise and ni
tempi to cast partisan shafts nt Generr
Kose.cratis. Ho stood out as onn of the lu
roes of victory nf the Into war. The me
win hud foui'ht with bun would never hen
hU nnmo tiirmshod und be silent. In th
course of his remarks Mr. Holmes said
"General Grant wus an autocrat when th
war ended , and endeavored to blot tlie tmm <
of li'vtecrans. as a were , from the roll of th
num. und iiUeinutvd to uirnish his fin
fame. '
Mr. Rimlnll warmly espoused the cause o
HOSOCIMIIS.
Mr. PerUlns of Kansas said thai n fev
jo.irs ago General Uosecruns stood alone 01
the lloor and oiipused tin1 Gr.uU bill , .sa.\iii' '
ho did n on pnnclile | , and that it wns wmn ;
to enlarge the rctued list for the benefit n
those who hail gone into the private walks o
life. Applying that principle to Ins own case
ho ( Perkins ) could not see how Kosccr.ui-
could ask for the pending legislation.
Messrs. Hendeison of Iowa , XX'c.ivor o
Iowa , Howden of Petinsylvuula and Me
Kenna of Culifoiniii favored tlie bill as .
matu-r of Justice to General llosecrans
Mr. Slruhlo regtetted that his colleuuw
( tlolmesi should refer to General Grani
as an autocrat and dictator.
Mr , Holmes lose to deny the use of tilt
hitter term , but Mr. Struliiu dwlined ti :
yield , saying , "You ought to bo ailiained oi
join-soil , and sit down foiovcr in the face ol
those rcnmrus. "
Alter further debate the bill was passed
Mr. Itaml.ill , from the committee on rules ,
it-ported a resolution providing lor consider
ation of the Cowlos bill on Monday next , and
upon his suggestion it was Kit I upon the

.Mr. Matson of Indiana desired to offer an
amendment tKiug a day lor consideration of
the bill repealing the act placing it limitation
upon the payment of nrroarages in pensions.
It was icad for " .nfurmatiuii , " us the
.speaker stated , though Mr. Keed samistl-

of Iowa expressed u wish that it could be
