The-address attracted consider able attention at the time and met Gen.

The .action of the House tomorrow (Thursday)' will determine in a great measure the .time for the adjournment of the present session of Congress. Mr .

The suoeess or defeat of the motion is an open'question into whioh many in terests enter. There are members who, while they are opposed to tbe bill, wUl vote for a consideration of the same in order to make party ' and individual capital, through the delivery of speeches which they have propared ; on the sub ject; while there are 'others who favor the bill whOdesire that the discussion of it be postponed until the next winter, for various reasons. ,Then there : are not a few Congressmen who are only too painfully aware of the fact that their political fences are in serious need of repair, and they are tolerably certain: that unless they are allowed to go home very soon and actively engage ; in the process : of mending them, their seats in the House will know them no more forever. But in many cases' if the present Representa tives should begin such wOrk tomorrow it would avail them nothing. Several correspondents here who have canvassed the subject state that more, than one-half the members of the next House will be "freshmen.' L Owing to the diversity of interests, then, the action of the House cannot be foretold; but your readers will jjot be kept in suspense long. The Nxws j inn Obsxrvkk - of Friday will announce the result. 11 1 should hazard a guess it would be the failure of Mr. Morrison's efforts to take up the bill at this time. ua Morrison's htum. I asked Mr. Morrison yesterday if he could give me any information on the subject. He replied that he should oertainly call up the pill ihursday, but very candidly stated that: he could not speak positively of its chances of a con sideration ati this time. "It all de pends," said he, "on the votes of the New York Democratic ; members. "If they sustain me my motion will carry; if a majority ef then) oppose me it will be Lost." Messrs. Hewitt, Belmont and Adams are known to favor the bill,!; but the others are classed as doubtful. Mr. Morrison thinks, however, that the re cent correspondence between the Presi dent and : secretary Manning, wnicn plainly revealed the sympathy of the administration witn the measure, would have a favorable effect on the New Tork delegation. The impression prevails that if the bill is!; taken up it will go over to the next session as unfinished business and probably be defeated by -a small majority next winter.

EDUCATIONAL. : Th Laajr Caavlcta. , THX LATK8T WS TEOM Till TROUBI ON ; TUB PITTSBOSO KAUJlOAn: There has been a good deal oil talk about the refusal of the convicts on the Pittsboro railroad to work, but there are, prospects now that the trouble 'will soon ena. There are seventy-three con victs on that road. These are, like alj the other convict, controlled by the penitentiary authorities, 1 the railway company paying a certain sum per day per eonTiet. The; trouble began Mon day, j Sixty-seven of these convicts re fused to go to work at all. ; They are all confined in a large building; one room. Around this is a spacious yard, kept oean and tidy. Around this is the stockade! These convict quarters are very near Pittsboro. The prisoners have never before made any : complaint. They hate been well fed, clothed and eared for and there has been remarkably little sickness among them. ; As has been stated, Mr. W. J . Hicks, warden of the penitentiary, went to the stockade, arriving there Monday night. Tuesday morning he began operations. He j gave the convicts notice that those who were willing to work could come out and get break fast; that for non-workers there was no breakfast. Seven convicts came out. The same announcement was made at dinner time, but only the seven men ap peared and enjoyed that meal. At sup per time the entire body of convicts ap peared, i; and the prospects were that they were subdued and the trouble was at an end. But yesterday morning at breakfast only seventeen responded to the invitation to get breakfast and go to work. 'V ' : Mr. Hicks, who is one of the best prison superintendents in the country, unquestionably, and a man absolutely fearless,- has the convicts under control. The convicts engaged in a desperate fight in their building. Mr. Hieks had the doors opened; walked right in and quickly put a stop to the ; trouble. Twice Tuesday he ordered ail the con victs to come out and they; obeyed. He ordered a detail of their num ber to return and clean out their quarters. ; This was done quickly and properly. It shows his command of the situation, reopie from rittsboro went to the scene of the trouble, to tender aid, as if it were needed, but Mr. Hicks told them, with thanks, that his guards were ample to control matters; The convicts at nrst crave two reasons for their refusal to work. One was that they were badly treated and fed. The other was that they were sentenced to work in the penitentiary and not upon railroads. ! Later they acknowledged that both these statements were false. They said the truth was that a few days a?o. as the convicts were marehinsr to their work, along a public road, jone of them picked up a newspaper, the Uin cinnau Gazette, and this was taken to their quarters. They read it and found therein, they allege, a statement that it had been decided to be unlawful to make any convicts, save murderers, do work. It is not known whether : this statement was a lie or not. The convicts on the line are well treated. Jed and clothed. 1 There has been! very little sickness among them. TBey have been in good spirits and sang as they worked. They were onlj given a task of six yards of excavation a day. whereas the usual task for free labor is ten 'yards. Henry A. London, Esq., who sees the convicts at workevcry day, gives testimony as to their kind treat ment and of the excellent management of them by Mr. W. J. Hicks and ihe other: omoials. Mr. liicks said he xnew his1 power 07er them, a power of Hfe and death practically, but that he h-i rot wish to use violent methods- Tbe pro cess he had chosen to adopt, as above stated, was one which required time and involved much patience and forbearance, but he thought it the proper course. Uf course if eonvicts make any; demonstra tion, anything like an attempt at escape or an attack, they will be shot as rap idly as seventeen well-trained guards can do it. ! na 1 ' Vew Tork Cftton Fatures.
