Nominations -Thomas, collector, and Cochrane, naval officer, at Baltimore, have been referred, to the usual committee, where, it is said, they will be held to make weighffor or against the confir mation of the New York nominations for like positions. The nomination of Lawrence for the New Orleans custom house took the same course, and will probably remain in the committee un til the New York nominations are con firmed or rejected. The caucus committee, consisting of Edmunds,: Cameron, Christiancy, Bruce, Kirkwood, Hamlin and Howe, are said to have exacted a promise from Hayes that he would not nomi nate Democrats hereafter if suitable Republicans could be found. The nomination of Postmaster Filley, at St Louis, for the second time, is consid ered a personal defeat of Secretary Schurz. The House resumed the repeal of the resumption act. The Senate committee on Commerce have resolved to address a communi cation to the President, asking his reasons for removals in New York and elsewhere. This creates a sensation, Kellogg has concluded his answer to Spofford and will submit it Saturday, in the meantime giving Spofford a copy to prepare his answer, by which means both cases will go before the sub-committee together. Senate Dawes, of Massachusetts, presented a remonstrance of forty-five national banks of the city of Boston against the passage of the House bill for the re-monetization of silver. The petitioners set forth that they are re quired by law to hold, and do possess, many millions of dollars worth of bonds of the United States, and they are apprehensive that the passage of this bill will greatly depreciate the val ue of such bonds and have a bad influ ence on business throughout the coun try. Referred to the Finance commit tee. Mr Sargent, of California, from the Appropriations committee, reported, without amendmentJ,be House bill to provide for certain deficiencies in the navy and marine corps, and for other purposes, and it was passed without discussion and now goes to the President for signature. Eaton, of Connecticut, introduced a joint resolution proposing an amend ment to the constitution of the United States, providing for the creation of a tribunal for the rtates for a decision of all contested issues arising on the choice of electors for President and Vice President. Referred to the eelect committee having that matter in charge. At the expiration of the morning hour the Senate proceeded with the consideration of the army appropria tions bill. NIGHT DISPATCHES.

The committee on Foreign Affairs has agreed to report an appropriation of $100,000 for the French Exposition. Hewitt's proposition for an Indian corn department was rejected. The committee on Commerce passed on all nominations against which there were no protests. The others, includ ing the New York appointments, were held over until the objections could be arranged and filed. The Secretary, of the Treasury has issued orders by-which ballast of no mercantile value may be discharged without the formality and delay of an appraisement. House The bill to repeal the re sumption act was debated all day. No vote was taken. Nominations Gen'l Wm L Millen, pension agent at New Orleans ; Wilder, postmaster at Chattanooga. The Senate Postoffice committee agreed to report faorably on Gen Ty ler as postmaster at Baltimore. Senate The army appropriations bill was passed to-day. It was amend ed by allowing the army .to be recruited to. the standard of 25,000 men and striking out the provision for four cavalry regiments or .the .Rio Grande. Senate Mr Bruce, , ;of Mississippi, presented a petition of colored resi dents of 1 Mississippi asking an appro priation of $100,000 to aid them in emigrating to Liberia. Referred to the committee on Commerce. ' In pre senting the petition Bruce said the number and character of the petition ers entitled their petition to considera tion, though he was not prepared to endorrp their plan now.

Washington, Nov 15. The cotton returns of the Department of Agricul ture, made during the first week in November, compare the product in bales with that of 1876. The absence of killing frosts is noted in all the States ; slight frosts in the more north ern districts have been favorable to an increase of the yield by hastening the ripening of later bolls. The rains in October wer6 unusally heavy and general, interfering with the picking, and causing staining and loss of fibre. The losses from the prevalence of the catterpillar were heaviest in Texas, were somewhat serious in Louisiana, and to a less extent in Mississippi and Florida. In the following com parison by 8tates with the crop of last year Texas has the lowest percentage and would be still lower but for the fifteen per centum increase of area ; Arkansas and Tennessee stand high, not only by reason of a good crop, but because their yields were relatively low last year, and Alabama is above 100 only because her last crop was a very poor one. The figures are as fol lows ; North Carolina, 91 ; South Caro lina, GO ; Georgia, 92 ; Florida, 97 ; Alabama, 105 ; Mississippi, 92; Louis iana, 97; Texas, 82; Arkansas, 110; Tennessee, 115. This indicates about four cent reduction of the aggregate of last year, even il the future of the picking season should be as favorable as that of 1876. There is an abundance of low yield lint yet to open which may further affect the return. Ordered to Show Cause. Harrisburg, Penn, November 15. The Attorney General has notified Wm Orton, president of the Western Union Telegraph Company, that he has appointed Thursday, the 22nd inst, as the time to hear argument as to why the Western Union and Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Companies are consolidated contrary to the provisions of the constitution of this State. The argument will take place at the Attor ney General's office. French Affairs, London, Nov 15. The Manchester Gtiardian's special correspondent at Paris believes the Senate will certainly vote a second dissolution, which the Chamber of Deputies will resist, Versailles. Nov 15. In the Cham ber of Deputies, this afternoon, after a speech ty liambetta, Albert Urevy's motion for the appointment of a com mittee to inquire into the electoral abuses was adopted by a vote of 320 to 203 Pedestrianism Extraordinary. A few nights since a party of three applied for and were given lodgings at the stas tion house, who are certainly entitled to the name of champion pedestrians. They were Mr. C C Castle, a half breed Indian, and his wife and wife's moth er. Starting from Atlanta, Ga., they reached this city in three weeks after leaving that point, walking on an aver age 35 miles per day. The man car ried all their baggage, weighing over 50 pounds, on his back. They walked on the railroad track the entire distance, never slept in a house during the time, but each night camped out, sleeping under a tent which the man carried. They brought their own cooking utensils, consisting of two plates and a pan, in which they cooked all their food. The cost of the trip was only $4 50 ! The party state that they are not particularly fatigued from their long journey, nor do they appear to be. The shoes of both the women wore out, and they used cloth bandages as a substitute.

It is only now and then that iuch men as Hon Alex H Stephens, Ex-Gov Smith and Ex-Gov Brown, of Ga., endorse a medicine for the throat and lungs, and when they do it is pretty good evidence that the remedy must be good for the cure of coughs, colds and lung affections. They , recommend the Globe Flower Cough Syrup, and their testimonials are to be be eeen round the ten cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower Syrnp, for sale by all druggists in Charlotte.
