There is more ..dizziness t than business yet, owing to fatigue from travel. Cald well's friends- are sanguine that he will be clerk. Col Blackburn, who is well up-in the manuel and apt with the gavel, is not out of the rihg for Speaker. The true indications, how ever, are that the old officers will re tain their places. Clerk Adams is in the most danger. Doorkeeper Patter son is not entirely safe. A change in this office gives tbe place to Wedder burn, which may oust Stewart from the ostoffice, as both these gentlemen are from Virginia, and Stewart has made a most genial postmaster. Capt Amos B Corwin, a Mexican soldier un der Jefferson Davis, is candidate for postmaster. The Star says : "There is nothing of interest to report about the speaker ship race to-day. Members arrive slowly, and it will be the middle of next week before any very accurate es timate of the strength,, of any of the candidates can be arnved at. The Star also has the following ditty of the other days: "Col Lewis Porter, assistant postmaster of Washington City, has been removed, or rather he has resigned in accordance with an in timation that such an action would be acceptable to the authorities. It ap pears that certain testimony adduced before a committee of the 42d Congress reflected upon certain business opera tions of Porter in connection with ex Gov Bullock, of Georgia. Judge Key invited the attention of Judge Ld rounds to the record, and Edmunds re quested Porter to step down and out. And he did. Senator Patterson yesterday avoided arrest, and shrewd lawyers to-day have all set to work to postpone the ha beas corpus hearing until two days after Congress meets, when it is thought Patterson, as Senator, will be beyond the reach of the requisition. Patter son was enlarged on $2,000 bail. There has been some delay hence South from the recent storms. Repairs are "Completed and through sleepers to NewOneaos by the Jvenesaw and Vir ginia Midland route are restored. THE SINKING BOAT.

This Well Known and Leading Hotel, The Story of the Stranding of the Massachusetts What the Passengers Saw, Heard and Felt. Providence, R. L, Oct. 6. The offi cers of the Massachusetts remain on or near the stranded steamer. Passen gers, however, agree pretty well upon the following story : The Massachu setts left New York at 5 o'clock Thurs- day afternoon with 150 passengers and a large freight. The day was stormy. The violence of the storm increased as the boat went down the sound. By 11 o clock a terrible gale was blowing. It is reported that the captain said he had lost his lights, lbe tog was so thick that nothing could be seen, and the whistle was blowing incessantly. About 11:30 the engines were stopped a few minutes, then the boat went ahead slowly for a few minutes, when tbe engines stooped again. In a half minute more there was a terrible crash, Quickly followed by two more. Some passengers were thrown from their berths by the shocks, terribly frighten ed. The people poured out of the state rooms and in a few minutes al most every passenger had on a life pre server and was waiting for the worst. It was so dark that absolutely nothing could be seen, lhe wind nowieu so that the consternation was almost in audible- while, above all was the incessant thump and sound of heavy grinding, which all knew was eating out the bottom of the boat. The gild ing on the state rooms began to fall down, and in some of tne state rooms the berths even fell to the floor, so much was the boat spread. The rods which held the cbandaliers in the main saloon had snapped like pipe stems, and pieces of the side of the boat had been broken away, lhe water was ris ing in the forecastle, and the deck bands set to work to lighten tne boat throwing overboard all cotton, flour, whiskey and sugar, until at last half of the cago was in the sea. The other half wa? kept in to balance the boat, but the night wore away, and it was a night which the passengers will not soon forget." EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. The War in Asia. London, Oct. 6. The Daily News' correspondent, with General Milikoff's army, telegraphing from Rasrichens, Thursday, says: "At 3 o'clock this afternoon the Russians were surround ing Kixli Tipi, when Mukhtar Pasha, desperate at seeing his communications -with Kars threatened, advanced against oujr centre, with .twenty j battalions. The Turks were received witn a crusn ing artillery fire. The Russian tirvail lons drove them back, pursuing them to Sonbatan till nightfall. Tbe Turks were utterly demoralized and every where took to flight. To morrow (Fri day) a great battle is expected along the whole front, nen we nope to cut Mukhtar 's communications and ren der his position hopeless. Our losses are unknown, hat over 2,000 are re ported missing." The limes iSucn-apest special says : "A considerable disoussion is going on m relation to the meansef keeping the communication across she Danube open during the winter. One plan suggested is the construction of a bridge upon iron cylinders. Aoetoer plan is for a fleet of steamers to be kept con stantly crossing. The supporters of tne latter plan point to tne iact mat the Hudson river ferries are 'kept go ing during the winter under far more disadvantageous circumstances -relative to ice and current, than would nfwe to be encountered on the Danube. The Times' Vienna correspondent confirms the report that Mehemet Ali'8 removal is due to the intrigues of jealous Turkish rivals, who accused himQf surrounding himseir witn the German and other foreign officers who revealed his. plans to the Rus sians. EffVDtian Prince Uassan is prominent amongst Mehemet's detrac tors. It is notable that Mehemet AH s last action failed in a great measure because the Egyptian troops failed to support him. In Asia, the object of the Russian attack is either to cut Mukhtar Pasha off from Kars, or drive him under its walls and shut him up there. If they fail, the second Russian campaign in Asia will be over. From Bulgaria there is no intelli gence of active operations. The army of the Czarewitch will naturally await the arrival of the whole of its reinforce ments before it will venture upon an aggressive advance, either towards Rustchuk or across the upper -Lorn. MEXICAN INVASION. A Texas Town Invaded and the Officers in the Hands of a Mexican Mob. Mr. Edwin Adams, the well-known and much-loved actor, has reached Chicago on his attempted journey from ban Francisco in Hew York but he has been obliged to stop there ; and there, probably, he will die. His dis ease is consumption, and hi life is well-nigh exhausted. His sickness has lasted a long time, and it has been attended with much expense. In plain words, the unfortunate gentleman is in poverty as well as at the point of death. New York Tribune. A Tery Good Reason. The reason why only one sample bottle of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten. cents, by oar druggists, ia Charlotte, is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepa tine into this coanlry, but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi cine that cores dyspepsia and . liver com print. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents at all .druggists. Three doses relieves any case of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion or nver complaint, inthe world.
