THE NATION’S CAPITAL. Petitions and Memorials Pre sented to the Senate. Vest Tiits Cottoi, And a General Deoato on tbs Tariff Ed SUM. Washixgto*, Jan. 2. Senate In the Senate there was more than a quo rum of senators present when the chaplain mace his opening prayer. Among petitions an«l memorials presented were the following From a branch of the Woman's Relief Board of Sail Lake City against any acrion looking to the admission of Utah as a State. To prohibit disfranchisement on account of sex. For the suspension of the purchase of sil ver bullion and of the coinage of sliver dol lars. By Hanley In favor of incl uding in the next census statistics of the surviving sol diers of the late war. In favor of woman suffrage in the terri tories. By Chandler, asking Congress to take steps to amend or abolish 8tale laws of reg i stratum affecting the right of citizens to vote for federal officers. The Senate then resumed consideration of 'he tariff bill. Allison moved to amend paragraph 134 relating to chains, by reducing the rate on chains less thau three-eighths of an inch m diameter from three to two and one-half cents per pound. Vauce moved to amend the amendment by making the rate 30 per cent, ad valorem. Mr Vance's amendment was rejected and Mr Allison's amendment agreed to. With reference to the schedule relating to cotton manufactures, the question being on the amendment offered by Mr. Vest, to reduce the duty ou cotton bread, yarn, warps, etc., valued at uot exceeding 2d cents per pound, from ten cents per pouud to 3d per cent ad valorem. Senator Hoar today introduced a resolu tion which was adopted, asking the Presi dent to transmit to Congress any correspon dence that may have been hail with Great Britain concerning the seal fisheries in or oear Behring straits, especially as to the seizure of any vessel of the Uuited Slates or other country, and what regulation govern ing the fisheries have been adopted by thu government. Mr. Hoar says there have been and are still widespr*ad complaints of u'ju*t dis crimination made against American vessels, that while they are not permitted to take seals out at sea, which is perfectly proper mid right, uu interference is made with tin operations of the vessel* of other countries, particularly tbo e of Great Britain. Vest repealed statement made by him be fore recess, that effect of the changes pro posed by substitute was to increase the duty on all higher priced cotton fabrics, both as 10 threads (which were of the raw material of manufacturers), and cotton cfbth in fin ished condition. He said that statement on cursory examination, but examination during trie recess had confirmed him in what he then stated. Like the Eastern (Jueen daz zled by the glory of Solomon, “the half had not bceu told." Aldrich denied that the conference com mittee in 1883 increased the rates on cotton manufactures, and he declared that the re duciions on cotton manufactures made in .lie tariff bill ot !883 ranged from 40 to 30 per cent. The action of the conference *.cmm»ttww on the act of 1883 was discussed at length by Vest, Aldrich, Allison and Vance. Then Vance came down to the question of the necessities of high duties for the protec tion of American labor wabout regard to American, and in that connection read from the testimony taken by the Blair committee, and quoted Robert Howard, a former mule sp.mier in Fall River. Saulsbury said he knew from personal ob servation that farmers bad to work harder than aov other class and could.make no more man a hare living. Teller replied t» Saulsbury. Those who put themselves forward as champions of the dowv trodden farmers of the west, he said, were entirely iguoraut of their condition. They lost sight of the fact that now here was ti e intelligence so general as in the west. 11 was the tarnn rs of the west w ho settled the question last November and that a ma j mty of 81),u on the river.

For the past year “Gospel Temperance Meetings" have been held in this city, and the interest has been maintained in goodly degree. The meetings have been held in the vestries of the different churches, aGd the object has been to create aud maintain a public seitiment in favor of moral and legal instrumentalities for the removal of the curse of intemperance from our community. Many have signed the pledge and the officers of the Uftr have been enconrsged in the faithful performance of their duties. Ar rangements are in progress for the anniver sary exercises to be held in City Hall about the middle of the present month. The work has progressed by the united efforts of temperance workers without sectarian or po litical bias. Our city marshal poured out quite a quan tity of contraband liquors in front of City Hall on Monday lost, the accumulation of seizures for the past few months. Qoite a pool of the conten s of tbe kegs flowed on the ice io the adjoining lane, and half a dozen doves investigated the premises bat qaickly flew away in disgust—an admirable example for all two-legged specimens of 1 creative power. Skating on tbe river has been extra good for the past week and multitudes have in dulged in the healthful exercise with au oc casional ducking as the result of reckles venture some ness. Since Christmas we have enjbved a sue cession of spring-like days, and the pros jec for good sleighing in the immediate future is not flattering. Wheeling, however, is al that could be desired.

Whether there should established in the Tinted State* the po*tal system of saving* bank* may be considered still an ©pen question Though we have a I irg»* number ol excel lent and wi ll managed savings bank*, they are so di-t.int from a large number w ho might deposit their earning* m them that many do not utilize theuX There are certainly strong rca*om in favor of the postal bank plan of saving, if there are some argument* advcr*«r.

The weather record of the year 1888 ha« eertaiolv been unique. A phenomenal risi Cation of drifting snows in the early raouAli? sfj of the year, a backward spring, the coldes summer for more than forty years, a fal with an amount of rain and dreariness tba silenced the ol lest inhabitant, and. so far, >JL winter of unreasonable warmth and mors i rain, are features which it is to be hope* will not be matched in 1889.

In thirteen days from the time Grover Cleveland came into power. Hon. Albert A. Burleigh, a thoroughly honest able man, well qualified to 911 the position was removed from this same office.

A remonstrance against confirming Strickland's appointment will be presented to the Senate. Amusements. The M- wikmit Familt.

Since the recent outrage* in Winthrop and Wilton the community has b« come thorough ly aroused against vagrants and the poor hut honest tramp who desires on'y to drag hi body from one place to another unmolested is receding very little aid and comfort. A party of four foot sore travelers who arrived in South Gardiner yesterday were promptiy arrested and are now in the Kennebec jail.

Cableros, County Attorney. Wednesday, Jan. 2. The counsel for the plaintiff in the case of Spaulding vs Warren, resumed his plea this morning at a quSrter of 10 o’clock, and fin ished at twenty minutes of eleven. The judge delivered his charge and the jury re tired. Fred Billedeaux, convicted of feloniously breaking and entering, with intent to com mit larceny in a skating rink in the town of Oakland, on the first day of September last, was brought up f#r sentence and received six months in tl e county jail. Adjourned I iill t*o o’clock. The jury in the case of Spaulding vs. Warren, retursed at a quarter of three o'clock, and delivered a sealed verdict to the clerk, which was Defendant guilty on first count named in the indictment (simple as sault) in manner and form as the plaintiff his charged against him, and is assessed damages in the sum of one hundred dollars. State vs. Charles Sawyer, et al. This is an indictment for feloniously assaulting and robbing one Moses C. Frost, of Winthrop. The prosecution, in opening, gave the story of the occurrence substantially as fol lows Mo«es C. Frost, son of the late Moses Frost and the brother of Albert C. Frost, is a resident of Winthrop. living upon the oi l humeste&d with his widowed mother. On T lursday last, Dec. 27, he ate his supper a‘>out dark and went after supper to his barn, taking his lantern w ith him, to water his horte. He set his lantern outside the barn to avoid danger from fire, and led his horse to water, some 15 or 20 rods away. Wtiea he came back he noticed that the lan tern had gone out. which he thought rather queer, there being no wind. He led his horse into the barn, and had taken perhaps two steps inside the barn, when he was knocked senseless by a terrible blow on the side of the neck; His hands and legs were tied together, a gag was put into his mouth, and he was horribly beaten over the head. The instrument with which he was struck was undoubtedly an old fashioned hay knife which hail been 1) ing in the hay over the scaffold, and which had not been used for some thirty years. It was found that night down where he received the first blow. These men had lain on the straw up on the scaffold that day, as is shown by the impres sion of their bodies. When Frost recov ered consciousness he heard one of the des peradoes say to the other, "Are you going through him?” and his partner said "yes." Thereupon they felt in all of his pickets, took what money he had. took a gold ring off his finger, lit a match and put a white glass bottle to his nose, and then male di vers preparations to steal his team. They were inti rrupted in this by the arrival of two gentlemen who had b» en there during the day to render some assistance to a sick horse anu’ hi/! promised to return. The despera does thus surprised, left ?he yet unharnessed horse aud struck across lots. The two gen tlemen who had appeared on the scene at this opportune time, found Mr. Frost lying partially under a wagon, where after binding- and gagging him, these two men had left him. This in brief is the story of the assault. Following is an abstract of some of the ma terial portions of the testimony. Moses C. Froat, upou whom this assault was made, was the first witness called by the prosecution and testified substantially as fol lows My name is Moses C. Frost. I live in inthrop and am about for'.y years of age. Live about three quarters of a mile from the village on the road to Monmouth. I am a farmer. Was at home, Thursday last, Dec. 27. I ate my supper and taking a lantern went to the baru to water and feed a horse. It was very dark. Went to the barn took the horse out and set the lanteru outside, thinking it would be safer and set off to the toot of the hill to water the horse. Should say it might be 2u or 25 rods from the stable to the watering trough. Watered my horse came right back to the top of the rise of the h.ll, and saw there was no light. Thought it rather singular as there was no wind mot ing. Thought I would lead the horse into the barn and go into the house and light my lantern. Had taken about two steps into the barn when 1 felt a terrific crack across the i back of my neck. When 1 sensed that 1 beard a very pwul.ar sound, a kind of vibra tion and a ring to it. The first thing 1 r»al ized after that K felt someone on me yanking on my hands and winding them, and some one at my knees tyiug them. I could not 1 imagine what had happened to me. Made some movement or spoke, don’t recollect which. One of the fellows cocked a large revolver, I should judge by the sound of the lock, and says, "Keep still,’* or "shut up. or I will shoot,”, and put this pistol right side of my head. As soon as I spoke there c was some movement and there was f towel, as I afterwards found twisted, pat into my mouth aid drawn very tight and knotted back of my head. Someone at my right struck a match and a bottle waa put to my nose. When the match waa struck I law a white glass bottle, something of the Fashion of a whiskey flask. Qnes. Did it took like that bottle? (Show -g bottle to witness.) Ans. Yes, sir, that is a good description >f the bottle. I Heard one of the fellows say. "Where are i rou going to put him, round m the corner 1 lere?” The other fellow said he^fg, and I 'elt myself taken up and placed under a ragon which had been stored in the back >art of th? narn floor behind some beans. [*his entirely secreted me from sight from he front entrance of the barn. I was left there. A short time afterward I aw a little light and felt another crack and ot several more. I wore a Scotch cap round the visor and lining of which constd- m table blood was afterwards found. For- sc rot to mention the talk about "ffoirg hrough** oae which waa previously mala.
