About three o’clock this morning Abraham King, a middle-aged man from Springfield, III., attempted to commit suicide at the Green Tree Hotel, At that hour some of the oceu- —— Pants of the house were awakened by an un- | usual noise, and, on investigating, found King in his room horribly cut up. In his hand he held a pocket-knife, with which he His abdomen and neck were horribly lacerated. Dr. Fair- brother attended him, but the man cannot possibly survive the injuries. The cause of the act is not known. Chief Renshaw tele- Fraphed King’s wife. Wimam Johnson, Wm. Ambrose, John Edwards and Wm. Clemmings occupy cells at the Station-house on the charge of burglary. They hadim their possession an amount of cutlery, and will be sent to Carlinville when they are wanted. : — — — Suits against delinquent tax-payers will be commenced in the Circuit Courts by the State’s attorney at the Februarv term.

Last night the Deputy-Marshals arrested Sylvester Rogers, Thomas Edwards, John | Rogers and John Murphy, three bootblacks who had been on a visit to Chicago, but had tired of that village and were returning home. They gave their residence as the Street Boys’ Heme, St. Louis, and were released this morning. Cororner Bader held an inquest to-day on the body of John Bowlin, who was run over and killed, last evening, under the bridge, by engine Elliott, of theh Connecting Railway. William Kirby, the engineer, testified that the lamps about the enaine were all right, and that the engine was not going faster than three miles an hour. From the evidence it seems that Bowlin must have been lying on the track, in which case ng blame will be attached to any one. The County Clerk will extend upon his books the tax levy on East St. Louis property made b the 45 Council to pay the bert judgmentpf 7000. * 3 © . tae bias 2 ‘i 4 * . ve oS aie | j Last Edition FOREIGN NEWS.

James Lowther, Chief Secretary for Ireland, will af- ford the Government a reasonable opportunity for consulting with them on the present con- dition of the country, and it is tobe hoped that the result of the consultation will be the adoption of such measures as will effectually preserve the peace,which is now very serions- ly threatened. The danger is a present lim- ited to the West, where there is constant ap- prehension of a sanguinary conflict. STRIKES IMMINENT. Extensive strikes of cotton operatives at Bolton, Burnley and Ashtoneunder-Tyne are imminent, in consequence of the masters’ refusing to add an increase of 10 per cent in wages. TRIALS FOR SEDITION.

LONDON, January 14.—A Paris correspond- ent says: In the re-election of Gambetta, yesterday, as President of the Chamber of Deputies, of the 535 members of the Chamber 308 deposited voting papers the members of the Right as usual abstaining, and of these 308 49 resorted to the use of blank papers orinserted their names at random so that Gambetta, though re-elected, received only 259 votes, or slightly less than half the house, whereas a year ago he received 314 votes. The Left comprises.380 members, ‘so that about seventy Republicans held aloof, while fifty virtually voted against him. These last, it may be in- ferred, were of the extreme Left, who thus show their displeasure at Gambetta’s refusal to become Premier, while the abstentions must be attributed to the Left Center and sa portion of the pure Left.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, January 14.—Carlotta Patti yesterday sent a request to the Chronicle office that a reporter be sent to her to whom sho could make an explanation, and one was ac- cordingly detailed forthe purpose. Her prin- cipal object seemed to be to complain of the injustice done her by the newspapers. She spoke freely about an article which appeared in the St. Louis Post-DISPATCH, and denounced it as being entirely without foundation. She added, however, that there was no use in continuing thematter any fur- ther, as all the papers in the country seemed to be banded together to give her a bad name. She spoke in bitter terms of the bur- lesqe articles emanating from the Post-Dt1s- PATCH, which were recopied in the Chicago and other papers, and said it was done mere- ly to assist the PosT-DISPATCH. For that reason, if for no other, she would probably abandon her suit, although she was, as she says, grossly libeled. THE STATE OF MAINE. - — The Feeling in Regard to Smith's Prob- able Election as Governor. 1 — Submission by Republicans of Their Cause to the Supreme Court. AUGUSTA, ME., January 14.—Qn the as- sembling of the House the first business was the appointment of the following Committee on Elections: Dickey, of Fort Kent; Robin- son, of Thomaston; Young, of Brunswick; Heard, of Biddeford; Hill, of Exeter; Swan, of Minot, and Bennoir, of Waldsboro. The committee immediately retired to perform their duties. It is reported that Hale, of Ellsworth, and Butler, of Vassalboro, are to be unseated and that Fusion members will take their places; also that a Fusion member from Lewiston will be admitted. The Fusionists say that if Smith is chosen Governor to-day they will have a meeting of rejoicing to-night, ring the bells and burn tar barrels. Senator Rogers, of Penobscot, says the crash is coming between labor and capital, and if Mr. Smith is put in the Gubernatorial chair we shal] see which will win. The police at the State-house was strengthened this forenoon by the addition of fifty men. Should Me. Smith be chosen, It is alleged, Cham- berlin would not reeognize him as Gov- ernor. The Elective Committee voted 3 to 2 to un- seat Hale. SUBMITTED TO THE COURT. BANGOR, ME., January 14.—A statement of facts and questions was submitted to- day to the Supreme Court of Maine, by the Republican Legislature, for decision. The following are the questions: 1. Have the Governor and Council the right, under the Constitution, to summona person to attend and take aseat in the Senate or House of Representatives who, by the official returns, under the decision ef the court, does not appear to be elected but de- feated or not voted for; or would such sum- mons be merely void as exceeding the powers to the Governor and Couneil under the Con- stiution? 2. Have the holders of any such summons the right to take part in the organization or subsequent proceedings of either house to the exclusion of members rightfully elect- ed, as shown by said returns under the aecis- ion of the court, or does such right rest in said last named members to the exclusion ofa member summoned from the same district? 3. If the summons were issued under the facts recited in the statement herewith sub- mitted to Lewis Voter, of Farmington Dis- trict; Daniel Snow, of Skowhegan; Alfred Cushman, of Ashland; Jas. O. White, of Jay: Leonard H. Beale, of Lisbon; N. Bradbury, of Stoneham; Geo. son, of New Sharon; Lincoln H. Leighton, of Cherrytield; Aaron H. Woodcock, of Vanceboro; Harper Alber, of Fairfield: Joshua L. Jordan, of Searsport, would such summons give either of the above named persons the right to take part in the organization or subsequent proceedings of the House, or would such right rest in Cvrus H. Thomas, of Farmington District; Hiram S. Stewart. of Skowbegan district; John Burn- ham, of Ashland district; Jno. R. Eaton, of Jay district; Wm. II. Thomas, of Lisbon district; A. F. Anderson, of Stonebam district; David Reid, Sharon district: Henry C. Baker, of Cherryfield dis- irict: Charles A. Rolf, of Vanceboro district: K. B. Cole, of Fairfield district; Robert French, of Searsport district, to the exclu- sion of persons summoned fromthe districts? 4. Ifthe summonses were issued under the facts recited in the statement nerewith sub- mitted to Daniel W. True, Edward A. Gibbs, Wm. R. Field, of Cumberland county; Ru- dolphus P. Thompson, of Franklin county; James R. Talbot, of Washington coun- ty: John Q. Dennett, of York county; Ira S. Libby, of York county, would sueh summonses give either of the above named persons the right to take part in the organization or subsequent proceedings of the Senate, or would such right rest in Andrew Hayes, of Cumberland county; Daniel Duran, of Cumberland county; Henry C. Brewer, of Cumberland county; George A. Fernand, of Franklin county; Albert Bradford, of Wash- ington county; George R. Wakefield, of York county, to the exclusion of persons summoned from the same districts. — 6. Does this same rule apply when a member summoned appears by the returns to be elect- ed only because of some error in the name or initials of the candidate not summoned, which error is correctable bylaw under the decision of the Court, and the official records state the name and initial correetly under the facts of the Lincoln Sena- torial District and Representative Districts of Exeter, Newcastle, Gouldsboro, Weston and Robinston, as recited, or when a member summoned appears by the returns to be elect- ed only by rejecting the returns of one town because unsigned by the townclerk, though a duly attested copy of the record of said town is reasonably offered asa substitute and rejected? ) . Ifthe summons described in question one is void and persons holdi such sum- mons take part inthe organization of either the Senate or House of Representatives and without the votes of such persons, there are less than sixteen members in the Senate and less than seventy-six members in the House voting for and against officers of the so-called Senate or House, have such bodies any legal organization or officers? © | a _ : ‘ 1 * : } * — és ‘ ne vt ‘ : 8 . SUDDEN AND SEVERE. Disastrous Effects of Wind and Snow in Oregon, Buildings Demolished, Traffic Suspend- ed and Several Lives Lost. V—— -_ The Extent of the Damage Unknown, but Be- lieved to be Very Great. a SAN FRANCISCO, January 14.—Telegraphic communication wifff Portland, which has been interrupted for a week, was restored to- day. Dispatches state that on the 9th instant Portland was visited by the most severe storm known since the settlement of the country. The direction of the wind at the commence- ment of the storm was southwest, but later it veered to the south. But little rain accompa- nied the storm, though heavy clouds passed overhead during its continuance. THE DAMAGE to property in the city will not fall short of $75,000. The steeple of the First Presbyte- rian Church was prostrated, and seven small houses blown down. Many roofs were ripped off, including the roof of the Court-house and a portion of the Newmarket Theater. Signs and awnings were blown broadcast. The Willamette River was rougher than ever known before, but little damage resulted to boats and shipping. While the gale was at its height Bremen Hall, a large two-story wooden building, was pros- trated and four men caught under the ruins. Jack O’Donnell sustained very severe inju- ries and Harry P. Heinrich was instantly killed. IN EAST PORTLAND the new Cathofic Church was prostrated and reduced to a complete wreck. A number of buildings in the same place were blown down or unroofed. Reports from the interior indicate that the storm raged with great vio- lence. It is not possible to estimate the value of property destroyed, but it will errtainly be great, and the obstruction of the roads will, in many locali- ties, for a time stagnate business, owing to fallen timber and damage to railroad bridges. Railroad trains will be delayed sev- eral days. The lines between here and Dal- las are buried under fallen timber so deep that new lines will have to be constructed. AT UMATILLA much damage was done. The gale attained for a short time the velocity of eighty miles per hour. A number of houses were blown down. So far as knownthere has been but little loss of life from the storm. Great numbers of cattle are reported killed from falling barns and trees. MISCELLANEOUS CASUALTIES. Two men named Mason and Kandle were frozen to death Saturday night, near Young Station, on the U. P. R. R. At Tacentre, Washington Territory, a tree was blown against a school-house, demolish- ing it. Twenty children were in the build- ing. The son and daughter of John W. Bartlett were instantly killed and another daughter seriously injured. No damage to the shipping at Astoria. At Vancouver, several houses at the garri- son were prostrated. No lives were lost. There was much damage at Salem. A por- tion of the roof of the State-house was torn off; also the roof of the Academy of the Sacred Heart. The body of Jacob Swanger, aged sixty years, was found horribly mutilated in his cabin, Washington coynty, Friday morning. He was Fe murdered for money he was supposed to have in his cabin. The Storm on Puget Sound. SAN FRANCISCO, January 14.—Delayed dis- patches from Victoria and points on Puget Sound to the Sth inst. report heavy snow storm all over that region and some damage to buildings from the crushing of roofs under the weight of the snow, which lies from two to three feet on a level. WASHINGTON. Legislation of the House Upon Financial Bills—Investigation of the Star Route Deficiency—Condition of Senator La- mar—National News. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 14.—Wells and Frost are bitterly opposed to Salomon as Census Supervisor for St. Louis, and insist that Vest ana Cockrell shall reject his name when it comes before the Senate. Vest is go- ing to see Schurz to-night and let him know of the opposition. but it is not probable that Schurz will consent to take another man. Salomon is Schurz’s friend and he will stick to him. The Democrats think Salomon too much of a partisan or that that he can be used by the party. CASES BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT. The St. Louis county case against the Mis- souri Pacifie Railroad and the Cowdrey case also come before the Supreme Court for argu- ment next Tuesday. BANKING COMMITTEE. The House Banking and Currency Commit- tee, to-day, voted down the bill to repeal the tax on bank deposits, and te repeal the law requiring stamps on bank cheeks and also de- feated the bill to repeal the tax on State banks. M’NEIL’S NOMINATION was sent in to-day, but got there just as the Senate adjourned and was taken back to the White House. Efforts are being made to have McNeil withdraw, but itis not likely to succeed. He is certain to be rejectea by the Senate. LAMAR’S CONDITION. A private telegram. from Mississippi this afternoon states that Lamar is better. The attack is paralysis, and not vertigo. THE FORGER FROM NEW JERSEY. Chairmaa Springer, of the House Commit- tee on Elections, says the committee has taken ms 4 \ House will get rid of Voorhees. The Demo- crats would no doubt elect a member to sue- ceed Voorhees and thus get a majority of the delegation from that state. Consideration of Bills. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 14.—The House Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures were in full meeting this morning and took action upon several bills referred to The bill introduced by Mr. Weaver,of Iowa, was discussed at length and in the following amended form agreed upon and the chair- man instructed to report it to them. the House and urge its passage: That the Secretary of the Treasury be and he is hereby directed and required to disburse gold and standard silver coin of the United States equal- ly in payment of all interest obligations accru- ing on the funded debt of the United States, and in payment of matured coin obligations of the Uovernment, and in payment of eur— rent expenses.“ The committee also instructed Warner, of Ohio. to report the following resolution to the House: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treas- ury be directed to report when, under what law and under what condition the United States Treasury became a member of the New York Clearing-house, and whether or not said clearing-house accepts treasury certificates, payabie in silver coin, in settlement of bal- ances or whether the settlement of balances in standard silver dollars or silver certiticates is prohibited by the rules of said ciearing- house. It was also agreed to report adversely upon the bill introduced by Representative Jones, fixing denominations and standard weight in grains of cold and silver coins to be used by the Government. — 3 — National Notes. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 14.— The Committee on Appropriations further inves- tigated to-day the Star Route Mail Service. Assistant Postmaster-General Brady assumes he was justified in building up the service and was ‘‘permeated with the belief that Congress would sustain him and make an ap- propriation which would be necessary to con- tinue the service on the basis to which he had extended it.“ 6 SENATOR LAMAR, Senator Gordon has a telegram from Gen. Singleton, dated Jackson, Miss., to-day, say- ing: Lamar eis slightly paralyzed, but is better now; am with him. IRISH RELIEF.
