The House then went into a committee ofthe whole on the general appropria tion bills. The -military academv appropriation bill was the first taken up, and its read ing was uninterrupted until Mr. Kiljjore, of Texas, raised a point of orde, againel the clause appropriating $490,000 for the erection of new academic buildingsat West Point, The chairman having over ruled the point," Mr. Kilgore moved to strike out the clause.

The bill was then laid aside, and considcr- tion of the diplomatic and consular ppropriation bill was proceeded with. Mr. McAdoo, of New Jersey, said that be could not allow the bill to pom with out emphasizing what he considered to be the popular demand for abolishing the United States ministry abroad. He snid One of the great countries of Europe was unrepresented by a miuister in this country; the British government hud re frained from sending aministerto Wash ington fo the purpose of resenting' w hut considered to be an insult; ninety-nine per cent, of our people did not kiiuw Hot care whether England sent a minister or not, and the interests of the L'uited States would not suffer if it did not send a minis- ter to England or any where else; it wao the most absurd thing to his mind that the United States should send ministers to royal courts; they come in at the tail ofthe bespangled, befeathered, bedizined, diplomats of the world; the system ; was absolutely unfitted to the character ol a tree country. Mr. McCreary, ol Kentucky, was not prepared to say that the diplomatic service should be-abolished; the United SttrtesbaS' S4 nnuiBhd man t6 represent it abroad, who had reflected much credit upon the country. The committee then rose mid two ppropriation bills were pussed. The committee resumed its session tor the consideration of the fortification appropnatioa bill. The bill appropriates $890,000.

Dunlapwas lust August confined in the jail at Wadesboro, in Anson county, and one morning, when thejaiW opened the door to enter he found the negro behind door with a pitce of iron in his huud. He felled the jailer to the floor, and tak ing his pistol from his pocket, he dashed out, and in a few yards of the jail was confronted hy two men, whom he shot down, wounding them severely, und it was believed for a long time they would die from the effects. ; . Dunlup was recaptured in a few weeks and delivered to sheriff McGregor at Wadesboro, who was comiiclled to fltt with him to this city in order to save him from lynchers Wednesduy he was carried again to Wadeslioro for trial, and sentenced to a term in the penitentiary.

Bills were introduced to create a rail road commission, and to incorporate West Ashe ville. . The resolution of instruction to our members of Congress on the question of the repeal of the internal revenue with a reduction of the tariff was tatcn up add discussed at length. It passed its several readings, and urges the immediate abo lition of the internal revenue, 'and such a reduction ofthe tariff as will lessen taxes on the necessaries and to retain the taxes on luxuries. It denounces the present tariff system as unjust and oppressive to the people and cites, the fact that it has been decided by the Supreme court of the I'nited States as' "robliery under the forms of the law." ' A bill to allow Iredell county to fund outstanding bonds to the amount of forty tJiiiusandMollurs, was introduced. The Hovse hud u very brief session.

The Oklahoma Fllllhuttterer Make No Dilatory MotloiiH Looking; to the End. By Telegraph to the Citiien. 1 Washington, Jan. 12. It was gener ally understood about half an hour before the House met that the deadlock would be broken to-day, and that one of the ap propriation bills would he taken up for consideration immediately. Just how this result was to be attained was a mystery, except to a lew members tJio have been taking an active partin the proceedings during the past few days, It was understood that Weaver would refrain from making further dilatory motions. As that gentleman, while ad mitting the fact expressed himself as sat isfied with the prosects for the Okla homa bill, information as to the terms upon which he had capitulated, was anx iously sought by manv interested repre sentatives, but the information was gen erally refused by those in Weaver's con- fidence. r One ot the rumor current was that the Oklahoma people had learned that it was the programme of their opponents to al low the Oklahoma bill to come up imme diately and then kill it by an adverse vote, which, if true, would of course, lie ample reason for their failure to further insist on its consideration. Another story was to the effect that Weaver had been promised an opporttr nity to call it up on one of the last six days ofthe session, when it might be put through under susiiension of the rules. But the last probable explanation apieared later upon the presentation of Mr. Randall' motion to rescind the rule requiring an adjournment at 5 o'clock every afternoon, and is, that with an unlimited session before then), the Oklu homa people believe that if they can get their bill up again before the House they can tire out the opposition and secure its passage. It is said to be a condition of Weaver's surrender that the committee on rules will report the Randall resolu tion favorably at the earliest oppor tunity. ..,. .; , . . SNIBBIMU MR. CLEVELAND.

The nearest telegraph station to Yellow Creek is' forty miles distant, aud officer Rowan ha had considerable trouble in com municating with- his confederate at that place. On Monday, th officer received his commission as special agent of the State, from Governor Scales, who also notified hfm that a requisition had been made upon Governor Buckner, of Ken tucky, for Ruff's delivery to the State of North Carolina. Another hitch then occurred, owing to the slowness of the Kentucky au thorities, and it was not until Friday afternoon, that officer Rowan was able to start upon bis mission. He met th requisition papers at Morristown, Tnn., and then set out being" lit last equipped, for the mountain wilds of Kentucky.
