House The doorkeeper subject came up again to day, and most unex pectedly, or at least as a surprise, on the Democratic side of the House, in the form of a resolution, offered as a question of privilege, by Butler, of Massachusetts, that the House proceed immediately to the election of a door keeper, and that General Jas Shields, of Missouri, be declared elected. Gen eral Shields has been a life-lone Dem ocrat, a soldier of the Mexican and the civil wars,and a prominent Democratic aspirant for the office : but the Demo crats did not take kindly to the idea of having the game forced upon them from the Republican side of the House, and so they made the point of order that the resolution was not a privileged question. The Republicans, however, had the best of the argument on that point, inasmuch as it was a question affecting the organization of the House. and, therefore, they contended, one of nign privilege. The Speaker preferred not to decide the question, but to leave it to the decision of the House, and while it was in that position its further consideration was postponed till Mon day, and in the meantime the Demo crats are to have a caucus over the matter. The balance of the day was devoted to private bills. Adjourned to Mon day. The committee on Banking and Cur rency decided that bank note printing shall be done at the bureau and not distributed among bank note compa nies. The cabinet has directed the Secre tary of the Navy to issue orders to the commanders of American war vessels to seize any American vessel engaged in the cooley trade.

Senator Bruce to-day introduced a bill for the endowment of the Lowery Industrial Academy, at Huntsville, Ala, and to accept a donation of the buildings and lands in aid of the same. The school was started by the Hon Reuben Chapman, and is designed for the education of the colorei people. The bill provides " for the permanent investment of $100,000 from the sale of Dublic lands. The Pacific Railroad funding bill was discussed to adjournment, and or dered to Monday by 62 to Si. The 31 probably shows the present strength of the Judiciary committee's bill. Ex-Governor Madison Wells, of Lou isiana, had an interview with the Pres ident to-day. The House committee on the revis ion of the laws regarding the counting of the electoral vote has agreed on & proposition for the election of Presi dent and Vice President' by a direct vote of the people.

London, April 5. The military sit uation is beginning to attract attention. lne oervian occupation of JbJuIgaria a far Plevna, is believed to be intend ed to cover the Russian line of com munication and relieve the Russian troops, which will be concentrated south of the Balkans. At the same time there are indications that the Russian troops lately at Sofia and north of Adrianople are moving towards the southeast, perhaps because it is con sidered advisable to strengthen, as much as possible, the army of Grand Duke Nicholas ; or it may be the in tention to abandon the lines of land communication and rely almost exclu sively for the conveyance of the re serves and supplies on marine trans portation over the Black Sea in conse quence of the attitude of the Rouman ians. rom the latter point 01 view it is very natural to infer that the Rus sians will do everything possible to keep the British fleet out of the Black Sea, though it is not believed here that even the occupation of the Bosphorus by the Russians would prevent Ad miral Hornby from forcing a passage. Some Russian divisions are now eche- lonned on the road to Buyukdere. A total force of about30,000 troops is col lected within easy striking distance. Between those and Buyukdere there are some Turkish brigades which could probably hold the place till assistance arrived, if energetically employed, and loyally commanded in co-operation with the British : but they must in time be overwhelmed, for the Russians, even allowing for all deductions, should still muster at least 75,000 combatants in front of Constantinople. On the Peninsula of Gallipoli, on the neighbor ing mam land in front of the position of Bulair, there are probably about 55,000 Russians, while at Salonica and on the lines of communication there may be scattered some 50,000 more.- The war office at St Petersburg: is stated to be dissatisfied with the condi tion of the muster rolls, and is making strenuous exertions to hurry up the re serves. All recruits stationed in the capital were thoroughly inspected by the Emperor, probably previous to their despatch to the frontier. Despatches from Constantinople foreshadow the fall of Ahmed Vefik Pasha, president of the council of min ister and minister or the interior, and the reponstruction of the ministry in a pro-Russian sense. London, April 5. The limes has a special dispatch from St Petersburg saying : "An article in the Journal Be St Petersburg says : Ihe conviction that England's demands are incom patible with the interests of Russia and Europe, will nnd farm support in pub lic opinion of this zempire. JNotwitn standing 4 his decided language all nope of a peaceful solution is not yet aban doned." groes even under conservative rule. ine labor or the State has of its own motion settled down to contract. Wade Hampton has almost universal honor and confidence', and the scurvv elements in Edgefield and elsewhere get no countenance in belittling him. He will be the next Governor of the State, if his life is spared, and he pre sents a model to aspirins Southern statesmen of how mildness, honor, faith and loyalty invariably triumph over sullenness, severity and selfish ness. '1 he Edgefield district is almost without respect in South Carolina, and at the mention of it the averagre na tive gives a smile of pity. Said one stump speaker, long before the war : 'When the devil took the Lord into the mountain he said. 'All that You see I will give You to worship me ex cept Edgefield ! That's mine ! I can't let Edgefield go."' A1MOT(R IMAM "Keep Cool." We cordially endorse the following from our neighbor, the Democrat, and extend the circulation of it by giving it a place in our columns : We shall have somethinff to sav be fore elections in regard to candidates. &C, but there is plenty time yet to say it, and we hope not to get excited or over-zealoua for the average yolunteer political patriot or dead-head states men. We think it about time here in North Carolina for the business and working people to send experienced and intelligent men to the Legislature. People should not abuse the Legisla ture so long as they continue to send there the sort of men they usually do. ine next .Legislature should propose an amendment to the constitution re storing the election of judges to the Legislature, as well as the election of as many other officers as possible. There are too many salaried offices and too many elections. m Let us send men to the next General Assembly who will represent not only the political faith but the material in terests of their constituents: who. while no one will deprive then of the right to gratify the promptings of a reasonable ambition, will not be so busy grinding their own axes that they can have no leisure to attend to the wants of those whom they represent.
