Proposition to Change the Law Regarding the Counting of the Presidential Vote--Union Pacific R R Co Spoflbrd and Kel- Blaine Paired. Washington, Oct 22. It is thought that the committees will not be an nounced until Wednesday. House The Colorado question was resumed after reading the journal. Among the bills introduced and re ferred in tbe Senate during the morn ing hour, was one by Mr Beck, of Ken tucky, to repeal section 3 of the act to provide for the resumption of specie payments, approved July 14th, 1875. By Mr Hereford, of West Virginia, a bill to repeal the act which provides for the resumption of specie payments- By Mr Jones, of Nevada, a bill to authorize the coinage of a dollar of 412$ grains of standard silver, and for other purposes. The peace reported throughout Lou isiana does not extend to her politi cians here. Their wrangles and tangles are labyrinthical. Senators Blaine and Kernan are paired. This indicates that Blaine intends voting on the pending ques tions with the ultra Republicans. Senate Ihe resolution submitted by Mr Edmunds, on Wednesday last, providing for the appointment of sev en senators whose duty it snail be to take into consideration the state of the law respecting the ascertaining and declaration of the result in the elec tions of President and Vice President of tbe United States and that the said committee have power to report by bill or otherwise, was taken up. Mr Edmunds moved to amend by adding the words: "And that tbe said com mittee have power to confer and act with any committee of the House of Representatives, that may be charged with the same subject." The amend- was agreed to and the resolution passed as amended. Mr Howe, of Wisconsin, introduced a bill to amend certain provisions ot the Revised Statutes of tbe United States relating to the transportation of animals. Mr Chaffee, of Colorado, submitted a resolution directing the Secretary of the Interior to transmit to the Senate a copy of the last annual report of the government directors of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Agreed to. A number of bills were introduced and referred to the proper committees and the Senate, at 12:40, adjourned until to-morrow. The committee on Privileges and Elections of the Senate is full except Morton. Spofford was present, also Kellogg, with his counsel, Shellabarger and Wilson. Kellogg submitted writ ten statements in support of his claim. Spofford argued his own case. The hearing will be continued. NIGHT DI8PATCHES. A deputy collector in the Third Geor gia district is reported $4,000 short. Special agents have the matter in charge. Judge John H Campbell, ot JNew Orleans, will appear for Spofford before the committee on Privileges and .Elec tions. Blaine is too sick to travel to day. House Colorado occupied the entire day. A select committee on civil ser vice was ordered. The House has adjourned to Wed nesday. Ingall s bill pensioning certain sol diers of the Mexican war gives $8 per month to all survivors, including those who served sixty days, and their widows. There is a furious lobby against the confirmation of J Wiley Wells, as Consul General to China. Allegations against him by affidavit and otherwise, especially otherwise, are serious. THE WAR The Grivitza Redoubt Captured and Lost Suleiman Pasha Compelled to Retire to Rasgrad. London, October 22. It is reported that the Roumanians, after having cap tured the Grivitza redoubt and been driven out, which is official, re captured Grivitza, Saturday. The' Turks have retired to Rasgrad to se cure their communication with Bust chuk. The Russian cavalry have ad vanced to Kavarana. It is evident that the Turks have commenced a retro grade movement. A telegram from Shu m la, received in Constantinople, says that Suleiman,, of fered battle on several occasions. The Russians, however, declined ,to accept the challenge, wishing rather to lure the Turks to unfavorable ground. Suleiman, however prudently avoided the snare, and in consequence of a want of water and the bad condition of the roads, which hinder the transporta tion of the army of the Danube, on Friday retired upon Rasgrad. The Daily News states that eighteen thousand men and forty cannons were captured by tbe Russians in a recent victory oyer Ghazi Moukhtar. The Turkish reports of a part of their army holding out in fortified positions in Aladja Dagh, are unfounded. The Russian loss in -carrying Aladja Dagh on the 15th inst., officially reported, is 1,441 killed and wounded. The losses on the other parts of the battle field are not stated. A Russian official dispatch detailing Friday's attack upon the second Gri vitza, redoubt, says : "At the first at tack the Roumanians were repulsed be fore they gained the redoubt. At the second attack, the three foremost bat talions leaped into the trenches, and vainly endeavored to carry the redoubt. They remained one hour in the trenches, which gave rise to a prema. ture report of its capture. The Rou manians then withdrew with the loss oi two onicers and two hundred men killed, and twenty onicers and seven hundred and seven men wounded." The Abrears Bili.. It is proposed to circulate petitions in the interest of the bill for arrears of pensions sub stantially as follows : To the Forty Fifth Congress : The pensioners during the last Con- nOOa rtQtn'nft twaaantAl nAtifina aXrm,A by over fifty thousand (50,000) citi- E.

N0f lEWilPHlf IFMf ID1IES I CHARLOTTE AND Fight With Robbers Desperate Encounter. Cincinnati, O., October 22. A special 1 dispatch states that a desperate en counter took place Saturday evening, at Big Clifty, Ky., near Louisville, be tween two highwaymen and Joseph Hausen, a travelling salesman. Hau- sen started to walk from West Clifty to Big Clifty to catch the tram and was met upon tne bridge which spans a chasm one hundred and forty-six feet in depth, by two desperate characters who demanded money. Hausen drew a revolver and shot one, when the other rushed upon him and attempted to throw him over the bridge. Hausen drew a butcher knife from a package of samples, stabbed the robber and suc ceeded in throwing him down the chasm and then escaped to Big Clifty. The robbers were arrested but not re cognized by the people of the place. The one thrown overboard was saved from instant death by falling in the river, but both men will probably die. A Destructive Fire. Madison. N. J.. October 22. A fire last evening destroyed the business por tion oi this village, lour stores, one dwelling and the railroad depot were ut terly destroyed. Ihe alarm was sent to Morristown and the fire department of that city responded and checked the fire. 1 here is no hre department here. New York, October 22. Another dispatch says : "An exploring party have been at work endeavoring to suc cor those in the mine, but have little hope of rescuingany alive, and express the opinion that every one in the pit is dead. One survivor says the bottom of the pit is full of dead bodies. A Terrible Explosion- A special dispatch from Glasgow to the Pall Mall Gazette, says : "An ex-1 plosion occurred in a colliery at High Blantire, near this city. Four hundred men were in the mine at the time. A large number of lives were lost." Where a Governor Gets His wives. uiaiDorne r. Jacuson, a native of Kentucky, was once Gover nor of the State of Missouri. He joined the Southern Confederacy, and died during his term at a farm-house opposite the city of Little Rock, among strangers, with no kind hand of affection near to soothe his pain and rob his deathbed of half iu anguish. The most remarkable fact connected with the history of his life is perhaps the statement that he married five sisters in one of the most respectable, wealthy and distinguished families in the State, that as soon as one wife would die he would go and marry her sis ter in reasonable time. Of course, some of them were widows when he married them. In connection with the marriages there was a standing ioke told at the evpecse of the Gover nor, which was that when he went to ask the old gentleman's consent to marry the last one, the venerable fath er is reported to have said : "Yes Gab, you can have her. You have got them all. For goodness sake don't ask me for the old woman. lexar kana (Mo.) Democrat. CHESTER, ONE PRICE CLOIHIEES, IE.

The campaign just closed in Ohio had its humorous incidents, as all -political contests have, not the least amusing of which was one in which George A. Sheridan, of Louis lana, was the cause. Judge West, the Republican candidate for Governor, is not always eoual to the occasion, tie is physically weak, and has nights when he cannot Bpeak without something stimulating, and nights when he can not sneak at all. Gen. Sheridan, of New Orleans, was imported to supply the deficiency, and hence the inci dent related by the Cincinnati Com mercial: It was one of Judge West's bad nights lie was not leeling strong, and as Sheridan was a rattling speaker, it was the determination to give the night to him. The chairman of the meeting, therefore, according to under standing, opened by stating that Judge West was "feeble and could occupy but a few minutes. The judge opened at five minutes before 8, and became so absorbed at the iniquities of the Democratic party and the beauties of the Republicans, that he knew nothing of the night of time, and closed, with a dazzling peroration at nine minutes alter eleven o ciock, occupying only three hours and sixteen minutes. Sheridan came forward and 'said that he was "somewhat feeble" himself, but he did not think they required to hear from more than one sickly man in one evening.
