A DR BIDED BILL.
A legi»l»tive project, the counter-
part in some respects of the public
weigher bill, which not long since
presented its eager, hungry visage in
the Texas Legislature, has loomed up
at Annapolis, to the dismay of the
commercial community of Baltimore.
The dreadful apparition is known as
the grain weighers' bill. The leading
journals of Baltimore protest against
the measure. They allege that not a
single person connected with the grain
trade has asked for any legislation
subjecting, as this bill proposes to
subject, all the grain coming to that
city by railroad to the manipulation
and charges of official weighing. Bay-
ers and sellers, and railway compnnics,
they say, are satisfied with the exist-
ing system, want no change in it, but
simply want to be let alono. This
desire to be exempt from legislative
disturbance can be easily understood.
The bill sets the price of official
weighing at a quarter of one cent
per bashe-L This rate would amount
to one doMi^jer At load, and the ag-
gregate of weighers' fees on fifteen
million bushels—the estimated annual
grain receipts of Baltimore—would be
♦40,000. This extra charge, it is con-
tended by the Gamstte, the Amtriain
and other Baltimore journals, would be
sufficient to divert to other markets a
trade which the merchants of that city
have been laboring arduously to at-
tract, and with a measure of succcss
to justify the hope of making Balti-
more the first grain-exporting city on
the Atlantic seaboard. For so small is
the margin of profit, and so sharp the
competition for a trade so vast, that the
least disturbance of the present eco-
nomical arrangements for handling
and storage would be disastrous. At
present the greater part of the car
grain passes through the elevators,
where it is regularly weighed without
charg-e. The certificate of weight, says
the Qiitette, "is accepted by the trade,
and is entirely satisfactory to all the
parties concerned." But, it is added,
"under the bill appointing officiil
weighers, many inconveniences and
much delay would arise. The dealers
would l»c subject to their caprices.
The charge of a quarter of a cent
would add twenty-five per cent
to the cost of handling. Another
placc would have to be provided for
•cales outside the termini of the rail-
roads. This, of itself, would delay the
delivery of grain, and, in business
where prompt dispatch is often essen-
tial to the success of a sale, the delay
of a single hour would not (infre-
quently break up a charter party."
The intelligent reader will not fail to
be struck with the logical resemblance
of the arguments of the Baltimore press
egainst the projected grain weighers'
bill, to the arguments of the news and
other Texas papers against the late
project at Austin for subjecting the
cotton, the hide, the wool, and
the sugar trade of Galveston and other
Texas cities to a costly system of com-
pulsory public weighing. A striking
family likeness, too, is to be observed
in the influence to which the two pro-
jects are respectively ascribed. The
Baltimore American sums up the in-
fluence* prompting the grain weighers'
bill in "the scramble for office at
Annapolis," and the supposed "duty
of legislators to provide places for all
the hungry politicians who arc unable
or unwilling to make their bread by
some useful calling."
The Baltimore Gatette allows that
there arc plenty of men who long for
official appointments in connection
with having "this thing inspected, or
that thing ganged, or some other
thing measured or weighed." and that
they " not nnfraquently find tender-
hearted mcml>crs who sympathize with
these longings for easy and profitable
places, and are disposed to gratify
useful constituents." Just so! Austin
and Annapolis are, geographically, a
good way apart. But the lineaments
of political bummarism and spoils-
party ism are not materially affected by
differences of longitude or latitude.
Appointment of Jnd{ce«.
The Governor appointed and the
Senate confirmed the following judges
for district courts yesterday:
It. 3. Walker, to be Judge of the
Fourth District, vice Priest, who was
addressed out of office. Judge Walker
is now a resident of Galveston, an ac-
complished lawyer, and unblemished
gentleman, and will make a most ex-
cellent officer.
m. D. Ector, of Marshall, to be
Judge of the Sixth District, in placc
of Williamson, addressed out of of-
fice by the Legislature.
Jas. a. Ware, to be Judge of the
Twenty-fourth District, m place of
Thornton, resigned.
A. S. Broaddus, to be Judge of the
Twenty-eighth District, in placc of
Onins, resigned.
Another Judge Addressed Out.
The Legislature yesterday, by vote
of 76 to 0 in the House, and 20 to
nothing in the Senate, sustained the
charges brought against Judge Manny.
The Legislature is using all diligence
in endeavors to purge the bench of
unworthy occupants, and with a fair
chance of success.
A Wharf Question In Cincinnati.
Cincinnati has a wharf question
just now. The Timet any a:
The wharf property lease, made on
part of the city to a company com-
posed of certain distinguished gentle-
men, has developed a point of stupen-
dous public interest, it would fur-
nish material for the raciest investiga-
tion that has yet tested the conscicnco
of any honest alderman or councilman.
The matter is ripe for thorough sifting,
and if it does not result in harrowing
revelations, then municipal secrets are
impenetrable, in being beyond the ken
of official inquisitions.
The Gnuttf then proceeds to give
a history of the affair—how the lease
was made on a straw bid and then
transferred to the present company
according to previous agreement,
without complying with the require-
ments of the code. The Time* says
that the lease is void, but, neverthe-
less, the lessees are making « good
thing oat of it.
We call attention to the article
signed "An Old Citizen," and we sin-
cerely hope it will tend to allay what
appears to us, also, an unnecessary de-
gree of excitement respecting the
present contract*.

800 acres of sugar cane, was destroyed
on the eighteenth. In the jurisdiction
of Cienfuegas, eighteen plantations were
burned. On the Eastman plantation,
the owner, his son and others were
killed, and the place burned by negroes,
formerly slaves of the estate. Every
effort has been made to capture the per-

• Sherman, March 31.
Yesterday about noon an affray took
place six miles from Sherman, on the
Pilot Point road, resulting in the death
of Mr. Staples at his own store, being
attacked by three men, badly beaten, and
then shot, dying almost instantly.
Immediately upon hearing of this, a
sheriff's posse started in pursuit of the
murderers, who were overtaken about
twenty miles from the scene of the diffi-
culty, all three of them being together.
The posse o.'dered them to halt, which
not being heeded, they were at once fired
upon, the fire being returned without any
injary to pursuers.
This morning'Sam Crocker, one of the
men who murdered Staples, was found
dead in an old schoolhouse, whether
from shots fired by the Sheriff or from
wounds received at the hands of Staples
while defending himself, is impossible as
yet to say. The other parties to the act
are still at large.
Last night two robberies were com-
mitted in town by three men, who about
two o'clock a. st. made an entrance to
the office of Eli Wheeler's lumber yard,
only to be met by a derringer shot, which
unfortunately missed its mark. The
robbers escaped. The citizens are on
the lookout.
The first spring storm of the season
occurred last evening.
Crops are looking better than for years
in this section. Stiff norther to-night—

*■ Pesach, or Passover.
With the setting of the sun to-day,
every Israelite throughout the world,
who is true to the traditions of his peo-
ple, will commence the celebration of an
event dating back more than three thou-
sand years.
The anniversary is called Pesach, or
Passover, on account of the passing of
the Angel of Death over the houses of
the Israelites when the firstborn ot the
Egyptians were ordered to be slaugh-
tered.
Another of the festival* to be observed
is that of Hay-Hamatzos, or Feast of
Unleavened Bread, so-called because, in
the hasty departure of the Israelites
from Egypt, they had to carry with them
dough which was baked in the sun, to
commemorate which it is commanded
that every Israelite shall eat of matzoe,
or unleavened bread, for seven days on
the recurrence of the anniversary of the
event.
During this festival, in the home circle
the evenings are consecrated to prayers
and ceremonies emblematical of the oc-
casion which it is intended to commemo-
rate. On the table, which is beautifully
decorated, stands a large dish, in which
is placed a roasted bone, emblematic of
the Paschal Lamb ; Matzoh, in commem-
oration of the bread that was eatfen after
leaving Egypt; and bitter herbs, in re-
membrance of the hard, bitter life of the
Israelites while in Egypt.
The rest of the prayers and psalms to
be used during the festival will be found
in the Hayadah ritual, and are in thanks-
giving to God for having so wonderfully
delivered the chosen people from the
yoke of the Pharaohs. There will be
services at the Synagogue to-day at 6:50
p. 51., and at 10 a. m. Thursday.

Altered Checks.
The United States Supreme Court has
rendered a decision of great importance
to the business and banking world, in the
case of Espy, Heidlebach & Co. vs. the
First National Bank of Cincinnati.
A check drawn by S. & M. on the bank
for $2650 in favor of H. was raised to
$3920, and the payee's name changed to
E , 11. & Co., and offered to the latter by a
stranger in payment for bonds and gold
purchased by them Espy, Heidlebach
& Co. sent the check, for information, to
the bank, when the latter replied : " It is
good ;" or, " It is all right." Suit being
brought by the bank against E., H. & Co.,
judgment was for the plaintiff, and, on
error, to this court it is held:
First—That where money is paid on a
raised check by mistake, neither party
being in fault, the general rule is, that it
may be recovered back as paid without
consideration.
Second—But that if either party has
been guilty of negligence or carelessness,
by which the other has been injured, the
negligent party must bear the loss.
Third—That where a party to whom
such check is offered sends it to the bank
on which it is drawn, for information,
the law presumes that the bank has
knowledge of the drawer's signature, and
of the state of his account, and it is re-
sponsible for what may be replied on
these points.
Fourth—That unless there is something
in the terms in which information is
asked that points the attention of the
bank officer beyond these two matters,
his response that the check is good will
be limited to them and will not extend
to the genuineness of the filling in of
the check as to the payee or amount.
Fifth—As to whether the indorsement
of the word " good " with the officer's
initials, under such circumstances, Would
make the bank liable bayond the genu-
ineness of the signature and the posses-
sion of funds to meet the check certified.
Sixth—Where the check is certified for
the purpose known to the bank, of giving
it credit for negotiation or circulation to
be used as money, and it so passed into
the hands of third persons, the bank
would be bound, though the case might
be otherwise, when it was only certified
to give the party presenting it assurance
that it was good for his own satisfaction
in taking it.
Sexenth—But it is clear that a verbal
reply that a check is good, given for the
information of the party about to receive
it, extends only to matters of which the
bank had knowledge, or is presumed to
have, by the law, unless he is told that
more extended information is expected or
asked for as to the validity of the stock.
Conflict under the Shipping act.
Tlio Boston Journal's court reports con-
tains the following statement:
In the Circuit Court Judge Lowell de-
cided against the United States on a libel
brought against the owners of the ship
Grace Lathrop to recover a penalty of
$1000, for shipping five seamen on board,
that vessel for a voyage from Boston to
the West Indies and return under an
agreement not signed before the Ship-
ping Commissioner. The points of his
decision were:
First. It is Very doubtful whether the
law requires such agreement to be signed
before e Shipping Commissioner.
Second. It is still more doubtful
whether any penalty is attached to not
doing it.
Third. It is decided that the master
of v vessel has a right to act as a ship-
ping commissioner in such a case.
The decision is a somewhat noticeable
one. inasmuch as Judge Benedict, of the
District Court of Eastern New York, has
decided just the opposite,'and his de-
cision has been confirmed by Judge
Woodruff, of the Circuit Court of
New York. Judge Lowell's long ex-
perience and recognized ability in ad-
miralty matters give his decision much
weight.
The Firemen.
The Coming Anniversary or ttae
Galveston Fire Department.
A meeting of the Board of Fire Com.
mlsslouers was held last night at the
hall of Washington Steam Fire Engine
Company No. 1.
Chief Engineer Louis Falkenthal pre-
sided, a quorum being present.
W. F. Se ffert. Foreman of No. 5, on
behalf of a special committee, made a re-
port submitting designs for firemen's
badges. After considerable discussion,
the committee was granted further time
to make a selection of a suitable badge.
The chairman called attention to the
approaching anniversary of the Fire De-
partment, and stated that it would be in
order to make the necessary arrange-
ments for its observance; to decide as to
whether a parade should be bad. Fore-
man Davey, of No. 1 Engine, moved that
a parade of the Department should take
place on the twenty-first of April. Car-
ried.
Foreman Harrar moved that the Chief
Engineer and his assistants be intrusted
with the duty of making arrangements
for the parade.
Chief Engineer Falkenthal asked Mr.
Harrar to withdraw his motion, as he
felt unwilling to assume the responsi-
bil»r.,
Foreman C. W. Kcester, of No. 3
Engine, then moved that a committee of
four be appointed to make arrangements
for the celebration of the forthcoming
anniversary of the Galveston Fire De-
partment. Carried.
The chairman appointed Martin A.
Davey, of Engine No. 1 ; Frank D. Har-
rar, of Hook nnd Ladder No. 1; P. H.
Hickey, of Engine No. 6, and C. W.
Kcester, of Engine No. 8, as said com-
mittee.
On motion, the chairman was added to
the committee.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

In Hungary affairs are getting more

mans who colonized that country, and
established in it some flourishing man-
ufacturing and agricultural centers,
used to enjoy, by vntue of imperial de-
ceees, certain immunities of autonomy
which the Pesth Minister of the In-
terior has just taken from them. Hence-
forward those districts will be assim-
ilated to the Magyar towns. The above
mentioned proceeding, which even the
Lloyd of Pesth, the Deakish organ, not
only abstains from justifying, but qual-
ifies as illegal and arbitrary, has pro-
duced a deep emotion in the Cisleithan
provinces.
(••sblon Notes.
The sleeves of outdoor dresses are al-
ways coat shape, with cuffs or parements
of some sort for indoor wear. There is
a much greater latitude both in form and
trimming.
One of the Duchess of Edinburgh's
handkerchiefs is worth £1000, and cost
for its production Ive years of labor,
besides the eyesight of the unfortunate
needlewoman.
Simplicity in outdoor dress is still the
rule, and we see plain woolen materials
and velveteens, totally devoid of orna-
ments, adopted for morning walking cos-
tumes by the richest of our elegantes.
For evening dress the ladies are wear-
ing gauntlets to their light gloves of
wide black velvet, cut in small points at
the top. It is very effective—this new
fashion—and promises to be a very last-
ing one on hand.
Those in the form of cafes are princi-
pally of gold, silver, oxidised metals, and
French gilt. One extremely lovely set
was of silver, finished in geld fastenings.
These ornaments are made in all manner
of shapes, as are charms worn npon
chains.
Young ladies and those with small
waists will welcome the return of the
waistbands, which will certainly be worn
this season. They will be of ribbed silk
or satin principally. The leather and
metal arrangements of this kind are en-
tirely confined to indoor dishabille morn-
ing wear.

Preservation or Forests.
The House Committee on Public
Lands in Congress is preparing quite
an important and voluminous report,
accompanied by a bill, and will pre-
sent both to the House at an early day,
providing for a "commission of fores-
try," looking toward the preservation
of our forest trees and the encourage-
of the growth of timber on Vestern
prairies. In August of last jear the
American Association of Science ap-
pointed a committee of distinguished
professors in the natural sciences to
co-operate with kindred national asso-
ciations in memorializing congress and
the several State Legislatures on the
importance of piomoting the cultiva-
tion of timber and the preservation of
forests, and to recommend such legis-
lation as may be deemed proper for se-
curing these objects. The committee
set forth the great practical importance
of the subject, and held up the rapid
exhaustion of timber consequent upon
the increasing demand for its use, and
asserted that no effectual provision
Sgainst its waste or renewal of supply
was being taken.
It seems to be a matter of much
more importance than is generally sup-
posed, and there are many questions of
climate that appear to have a close
relation to the presence or absence of
woodland shade, nnd the drying up of
rivulets, and the growing tendency to
floods and the drought resulting from
the unequal distribution of the rain-
falls since the cutting off of our forests
are subjects of common observation.
It is stated that in Italy, France and
Spain the destruction of the forests has
wrought fearful changes in many of the
largest rivers. These forests held in
reserve the water from the snow and
rains of winter and spring, and during
the summer season it was gradually
supplied to-the great rivers. Since the
forests have been cut down the great
amount of r&in that falls during the
rainy season rushes down at once, caus-
ing torrents and floods, bringing down
with it earth and stones, deluging the
banks of the large streams and over-
flowing them, but leaving a very insuf-
ficient provision for evaporation and
against the dryness and drought of
summer. This, it is said, will be the
result in this country if the forests are
cut down and no provision is made for
a new growth.
It is recommended that Congress
take action upon the following points:
First. Upon the amount and distri-
bution of woodland in the United
States, the rate of consumption and
waste, and the means that should be
adopted to provide against the future
wants of the country in the preserva-
tion tand planting of timber. With
this there should be an inquiry con-
cerning the importation and exporta-
tion of lumber and other forest pro-
ducts.
Second. The influence of forests
upon the climate, especially to what
extent their presence or absence tends
to affect the temperature, rainfall, and
other atmospheric conditions upon
which agricultural success depends.
Third. A full statement of the
mctbo'.'' practiced in Europe in rela-
tion to the planting and managements
of forests, and an account of the
special schools of foresting that have
been established in foreign countries.
The report will contain a large
amount of valuable information upon
the subject, and will open almost an
entirely new field of thought and
practical legislation.
The President, Secretary of the In-
terior, and Commfssioner of the Gene-
ral Land Office, all approve of the en-
terprise, and recommend the neces-
sary legislation, and have sent to Con-
gress, with their indorsement, such
facts as have already been presented
by the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
A Colored Revival In New York.
There is a great revival in the Sullivan
street (colored) Methodist Church. One
night the doors were opened at seven
o'clock, and, while the seats were filling,
many of the old camp-meeting songs,
with lively melodies and quaint words,
were sung. Time was kept all over the
house with stamping feet, nnd at eight
o'clock, when no more eouldjget in,all the
fervor of a negro revival had begun to
be expressed in groans and ejaculations.
Four of the front pews were reserved for
converts, and those, too, gradually filled
up. As the converts removed their over-
coats and laid them on the seats, one of
the brethren went and got them and
piled them on the stairways of
the pulpit, which was very heavily
draped in black for Sumner. At length
Elder Young, Elder Styles, and another
colored clergyman went into the pulpit.
Elder Young, after a prayer, said:
" There are three things I want to say:
First, the coats of the mournerB will be
taken care of by a responsible brother,
so that the trouble we have heretofore
had will be avoided. Every one will be
certain of getting his coat. Second, if
there is a man in the house with rum on
his breath, let him stay away from the
mourners. The boys have got through
with that kind of spirits, and don't want
to smell them. Third, we have two po-
licemen in the house, and anybody that
makes a disturbance will be put out."
Then Styles preached from the text:
" And they shall know that I am the
Lord when I shall lay my vengeance up-
on them." He spoke with a strong, high
tone, that had the nasal tone of his race,
but his language was fluent and nearly
free of dialect His theme was the folly
of attempting to escape from God's ven-
geance in case of persistent sinning. The
congregation became greatly excited un-
der his forvid oratory, and the shouts
were at times so numerous that he could
scarcely be hewd. His conclusion was
as follows: " You, young man, who are
a sinner to-night, the flames of hell are
reaching for you. A bed of flaming
sulphur shall be your eternal resting
place. You are hearty now. Your
eyes shine, and you -are proud. Never
mind ; the icy hand of Death will touch
you all tho same." Stopping short, and
pointing toward the center aisle as he
leaned far over the desk, he was for a
moment silent. Everybody looked in
the direction indicated, and the noises
were in an instant hushed. In a hoarse
whisper that could be heard in the fur-
thest corner he said, "See! see! Jesus
Btands there in the aisle, beckoning you
to the altar. Better come to-night if you
don't want to plow the flames of hell.
Is there not a young man or woman that
will raise a- liand in token of love for
Christ? Not one? Don't you know the
damned in hell are waiting for yon ? I can
hear their suffering shrieks now. One
cries, 'Mother, see my burning hands!'
Another pleads, 'Father, see my blazing
feet! Save me!' " At this- there were
groans and cries from every part of the
house, and the converts kneeling in the
front pews cowered nearer the floor.
"Suppose an epidemic should follow this
winter's revivals, as is usually the case,"
continued Elder Young, "suppose it
should be cholera, and you should die of
it. Through eternity you would remem-
ber your choice to-night of hell."
He sat down, and scarcely had the
hymn, "Come, ye sinners, poor and
needy," been started, when every aisle
was thronged with sobbing and crying
people, who, pressing forward, knelt at
the chancel rail. Then followed an hour
of prayer and singing, and the most in-
tense phases of Methodist conversion.—
