Temperance Reform In the Cap.
itol Bill to Repeal tbe Iron
, . ''.' Clad Test Oath.
Revising: the Committees Bills
in the House Troops Order-
ed to Texas.
General News and Gossip.
Washington, Dec 4. A resolution,
directing the officers of the House to
enforce tbe joint resolution prohibiting
the sale of liquor in the capitol build
ing, was adopted.
The Judiciary committee bave agreed
to report three bills to repeal the iron
clad repeal test oath, for jurora, and
allow persona charged with crime to
testify in their own behalf.
The Military committee will hear
Gen Ord to-morrow.
NIGHT DISPATCHE8.
The Republicans held a caucus to
day and appointed a committee to re
vise tbe committees. Itis thought that
a better show will be given the Demo
crats on some of them.
The cabinet considered the bearing
of the tenure of office act on the recent
action of the Senate in failing to con
firm the Jrresident s nominations. No
action was taken, as the President has
had no official notification of the ac
tion of the Senate. It i3 the opinion of
the Secretary of the Treasury and oth
era that in cases where officers were
suspended and their successors not
confirmed, the offices revert to tbe
officers suspended. On the other hand,
where the iormer office holders either
died or their terms of office expired,
the offices revert temporarily to the
deputy until new appointments shall
be made.
House Bills were reported and
passed repealing the law disqualifying
jurors on account of participation in
the rebellion, and eliminating from
the statute all the provisions of the
test oath.
Bills were introduced and referred
as follows :
By Morey, of Mississippi : Amend
ing the act relating to the payment of
the net proceeds of cotton seized after
June, 1865.
By Ellsworth, of Michigan : 1 or gen
eral amnesty.
By Baker, of Indiana : For a consti
tutional amendment prohibiting pay
ment for 1ob8 or damage growing out
of tbe seizure or destruction of proper
ty during the rebellion.
A resolution for recess from the 19th
of December to the 10th of January
was offered and referred.
Orders have been issued from the
War Department for the departure to
the Rio Grande frontier of a number
of troops in the interest of peace and
the protection ol the people on the
frontier.
The First Fruits of the Senate's
Failure to Confirm Nomina
tions. Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 4. George
Turner, late United States marshal
here, moved in open court to-day to
be recognized and reinstated, on the
ground that he had been confirmed by
the United btates henate; that on Sep
tember 1st he had been suspended and
Samuel G Reid appointed ; that the
Senate notconfarming Keid, under the
tenure of office laws he (Turner) was
reinstated. The case excites consid
erable interest. The court will hear
the matter further.
Later. Turner's motion to be re
cognized as United States marshal
came up this afternoon. He read to
the court a telegram from Attorney
General Devens, directing him to re
sume his duties, Mr Reid not having
been confirmed. The court then post
poned the case until to-morrow. Mr
Mayer, the district attorney, has simi
lar instructions. Ex-Gov Parsons not
having been confirmed, the court,
after some sharp words to the prosecu
tion, instructed the jury to acquit the
defendants, which they did without
leaving the box.

THE WAR.
Milan Reviewing: His Forces
The Cretes About to Rise Im
portant Movements Imminent
and Reports of Heavy Fighting
Russian Defeat at Orchanie
and the Turks Taking the Of
fensive. London, Dec 4. The Times' Bel
grade correspondent says Prince Milan
reviewed the militia on Sunday and ex
horted them to do their duty. The
war office has ordered all district gov
ernors to erect hospitals.
The most probable plan of opera
tions is that Gen Horvatovitch will
make a diversion in the rear of the
Turks with two divisions. Gen Gourko
has promised to send him 8,000 caval-
The correspondent of the Times at
Athens, says according to the latest let
ters public feeling in C rete favors a ris
ing after the fall of Plevna. The Greek
government has warned the Creteans
that it will stop volunteers and sup
plies if they rise prematurely or con
trary to its adyice.
Concerning ssuleiman Pasha s move
ments, reported from Constantinople,
yesterday, when it was stated that he
was believed to be engaged in a strong
effort near Osman Bazar, the Daily
Telegraph's Shumla special, dated Sun
day night, says : "No official news has
been received here Bince lhursday. Im
portant movements are imminent, if
not already progressing. Great anxie
ty prevails and many rumors are cir
culating among them that heavy fight
ing occurred on Friday in the direction
of Tirnova, upon which place the Rus
sians were ultimately driyen back , los
ing over 3,000 men, and that the lurks
are now bombarding Tirnova. All the
available surgeons and dressers are go
ing hence to Osman Bazar."
Note. The rumOrs at Shumla and
the correspondent's impressions seem
to confirm the report that Suleiman
Pasha is endeavoring to eflect an im
portant division by cutting the Russian
communications along the northern
slope of the Balkans. The movement
may be wholly imaginary, but it is very
feasible, and the fact that the Russians
say nothing about it must not be taken
as contradictory. They would be like
ly to reserye a report until tbe move
ment was complete.
Constantinople, Dec 4. Mehemet
Ali "telegraphs from Kamarli, under
date of yesterday as follows : "The
Russians are violently cannonading
our position at Kamarli, and from the
heights of Etiopol and Orchanie the
Russians furiously attacked our left
wing. The battle continued until even
ing, and we retained our positions. The
enemy retreated with considerable
loss. Pursuit was prevented by the
thickly wooded country. We shall
take the offensive to-morrow. The
Russian Imperial Guard was engaged."
FRAHCE.
MacMahon will not Promise not
to Dissolve the Deputies Again
Merchants and Manufactur
ers Snubbed by and Angry
with the Administration Pro
posal for Mediation Between
the Left and tkie Marshal.
Paris, Dec 4. The correspondent of
the Times telegraphs that he has pri
vate information contradicting the
French newspaper accounts of the in
terview between M Dufour and Presi
dent MacMahon. He says a few days
ago Senator Ducclerc presented to the
Marshal an informal note, asking him
as a satisfaction to the Left to promise
to propose the revision of the constitu
tion in a Republican sense. The mar
shal sent for M Dufaure to inform him
that his condition was unacceptable.
M Dufaure replied that tbe Left desir
ed a guarantee against a second disso
lution, and that nothing could be easier
than to find a guarantee which would
not compromise the President's digni
ty. The correspondent concludes :
"The foregoing is all that occurred ;
consequently there is no ground for
thinking the temper of the Elyseeis
changed.
It is significant'that a deputation of
Paris merchants and manufacturers,
who went to the Elysee Monday, desir
ing to present an address to President
MacMahon in person, were received by
an aid-de-camp who somewhat per
emptorily referred them to the minis
ter of commerce. The deputation re
tired, telling the aid-de-camp to inform
the President that they were the van
guard of an imposing demonstration
which numbered a thousand to-day
and would number one hundred thou
sand to-morrow and a million next day.
Several journals state that M Du
faure has undertaken to mediate be
tween the Left and the Marshal and
frame a political programme on which
a cabinet can be formed should the
President accept the programme.

The Great Chieftain Reinforced
and Defiant The Blackfeet
Alarmed.
Washington, Dec 4. A Battleford
special says the Blackfeet Indians are
alarmed at the attitude of Sitting Bull.
Fears are entertained of trouble. Sitting
Bull says he would like to know when
tbe Almighty gave the Canadian gov'
ernment authority tokeep Indians from
killing buffalo. Sixty lodges of Sioux
have joined Sitting Bull smcethe com
mission met. He assumes an air of
supreme defiance.
The Pope Better.
New York, Dec 4. A Rome special
says : "It is thought the Pope died
Sunday night, a rumor to that effect
being believed even in the Vatican. In
consequence of the report an immense
crowd gathered at bt Peters Monday
mOrning The truth-is the Pope is
slightly better. A silver ball has been
inserted into Ihe sere in his leg, which
will act as a satety valve to induce sup
peration and may prolong his life for
some days yet' ij i? : ".

nalist; . Montgomery, Ala, Dec 4. Col Robt

Charlotte. N. C, December 5, 1877.
The price of the fleecy staple, which has
remained almost sta ionary for the past ten
days took an upward turn yesterday, first
putting on a steadier tone, and then jump
ing np from l-16th to ic, and closing firm.
This is said to have been caused entirely be
cause of a slight advance in the Liverpool
and New York markets. If this has been
caused by the demand ef the regular trade,
it augurs well for those who have not sold
their cotton earlier in the season. After all,
however, it may be spasmodic only, and if
so we can safely count on a reaction, be
cause if there is anything uncertain under
the sun, it is the fluctuations in tbe price of
cotton. We quote closing prices:
