WA8HIN6T0N, July, 23 SxNATai
Senator Blair made a long personal. ex
planation in regard to the newspaper
charges that some senator had charged
a widow $200 for getting a pension
claim through the department.
Mr. Blair said he had no reason to
suppose these newspaper reports"; re
ferred to him any more than to any
other Senator, until he had been told by
Senator Camden that they did refer to
him (Blair) and were to the effect that
while a member of the House he had
made such a charge for obtaining a pen
sion for a widow. Mr. Blair explained
the transaction; that he had before com
ing to Congress obtained the award of
the pension in-question and that the
transaction was concluded by his .law
partner and the money collected by .the
partner after Mr. Blair oame to Con
gress; that a charge, of $100 had been
made, but the woman refused to pay
and has never paid anything. Mr. Bl-'ir
moved that the matter and' all i; the
papers presented by him be referred to
the committee on privileges and elec
tions. Mr. Kenna remarked that as far
as he knew, no one had supposed or in
timated that there was any criminality
in the Senator's action. To be equally
frank, however, he would state that it
struck nim and thoie who had taken
any interest in the matter, that the case
presented a qnestion of much interest;
in view of tk e wholesale' and indiscrimi
nate attacks of the Senator from New
Hampshire upon the President, in con
nection with his pension vetoes. It was
perhaps somewhat remarkable that a
widow who bad lost her only son in the
army and whose husband waa demented
should have an attachment upon her
little farm for such serviees rendered
to her. That was regarded aa a matter
of some interest. Mr. Blair's motion
to refer was agreed to. v :
Mr. West, in presenting a batch of
petitions gotten up by Knights of Labor,
remarked that the signatures all ap
peared to be in the same handwriting
and that he presumed (from the ex
planation of Mr. VanWyck a few days
ago) that these were copies. Mr. :Hoar
remarked that the rules of the gfenate
prevented the presentation of any ' peti
tions except originals. The chair sus
tained the point made by Mr. Hoar, but
said he did not feel at liberty to re
proach Senators for .presenting; snoh
petitions, although in doing so they
were violating the rules. MrJlVest
said he did not propose to violate any
rule of the Senate, but he did not wish

W Kina frild. of th haKJt 0 clook proceeded to take a vote; The
of its title was erected with ar.planse.
In answer to a question asked by, Mr.
Browne, of Indiana. Mr. Hatch stated
that though the bill had been reported
back with a recommendation that the
Senate amendments be non-concurred in,
in view of telegrams and letters which
had been received by the committee dur
ing Uie past twenty-four hours ho had
been instructed to concur in all the
amendment!.
Mr. Dunham, of Illinois, was accord
ed ten minutes in which to oppose the
bill and he intimated that the votes in
favor of the measure would be cast in
Order that the members might meeurc
votes at the coming election.
Mr. Millikin, of Maine, rose to con
tradict this statement, but Mr, DunLam
declined to yield.
Mr. Millikin : "I hen you should not
talk uncivilly."
Mr. Gallagher, of INew Hampshire :
'And you should not make ; falso
charges. I say that the object of this
bill is to gain votes in tho election, be
cause it tfi been stated to me, over and
over, that members dare not vote against
it."
"What are your motives?" asked a
member.
Mr. Dunham : "I fought the bill for
two reasons; first because the bill is
wrong in principle, and second because
it engages the government in striking
down an industry which is mere repre
sented in my district than any other,
and I am here to defend the interests of
my district."
Mr. Gibson, of West Virginia., op
posed the bill, as being opposed to every
democratic principle. The committee
rose and reported the vinegar and oleo
margarine bills to the House. The
House refuted to strike out the enact
ing olause of the vinegar bill and it re
sumed its place on the calendar. 1 The
Senate amendments to the oleouiura
rine bill were concurred in; yeas 174,
nays 75. The bill now goes to the Pres
ident for his action.
Mr. Turner, of Georgia, as a ques
tion of privilege, moved to discharge
the committee on elections from further
consideration of the Rhode Island con
tested eleotion case of Page vs. Pierce,
coupling that motion with a resolution
declaring that neither the contestant
nor the contestant was duly elected, and
further declaring vacant tho seat now
occupied by Mr. Pierce. ImtniUtely the
republicans resorted to filibustering
tactics. Mr. Payne, of New York, in
terrupting a motion to, adjourn up til
Monday. On the latter motion the re
publicans refrained from voting, thus
leaving the House without a quorum.
Mr. Turner, seeing that it was impos
sible for him to secure a quorum of
democratic members today, yielded to
the inevitable and withdrew his motion
for the present.
Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, from the
conference committee on the river and
harbor bill, reported disagreement.
Mr. Willis desired tdtest-the sense of
the House upon the espentially new
features of the bill inserted by the Sen
ate bill, rending a resolution to this ef
fect, a further conference was ordered.
Mr. Herbert submitted a conference re

it was agreed to. The House at 5

Columbia S. C. , July 23. Benjamin
Alston, a prominent planter of George
town county, writes to the Georgetown
Enquirer, giving a doleful account of
the condition of tbiDgs there, lie says:
"I look over the prospect and behold
only one dull, dirty yellow m iss of
water. Noleignof life presents itself,
except the fast-running current and the
birds of prey that soar overhead Men
have been to me, asking for work and
saying they bad eaten the last food in
their houses." Thousands are in the
same condition where he is and else
where in the country. The disastrous
result of last year's cropping caused
many to begin this year in debt and
they are stopped from what they might
otherwise do. Mr. Alston thinks his
people are on the brink of a famine and
suggests convening the lcgiblature for
relief.

Iho Khr and Harbor Bill.
NO AGREEMENT YRT RKACUKD.
WaFUiNutOH, D. C, July 23 The
oon erees on the river and harbor ap
propriation bill had another long session
last night, without arriving at any
agreement. Five of the amendments
made by the Senate form the main ob
stacle in the conference. These are
items for the improvement of the Po
tomac flats,; New York harbor, Sandy
bay, purchases of. the Portage ship canal
and the construction of the Hrnnepin
canal.,. Although but $2,000,000 are
appropriated for these improvements,
yet the undertaking of the work would
involve an ultimate total appropriation
of $20,0000,000 and as the- House has
not had an opportunity of passing on
the items, the conferees on the part of
the House have determined to report
back that disagreeament in order to test
the 6ense of that body on the amend
ments in question. ' y

Thero iB considerable talk about the
strange odors wli:h at various points
in the city are so perceptible after night
fall. They begin to be perceptible
about 8 o'clock, and by 2 o'clock m the
morning disappear. A reporter of an
inquiring mind has visited many points
in the city in a vain attempt to discover
the source of these unpleasant odors.
At the capitol square, near the cotton
platform, at the west eod of Hillsboro
street, at two points on New Berne ave
nue, and at several places in the north
eastern part of the city they are particu
larly noticeable. They cannot be traced
to any cesspools or ponds of water.
Some people claim that they emanate
from the ditch and small marsh near the
east end of what was onoe known as
Lovejoy's grove, but those are fed by
springs. Others think that bodies of
water, south of the city, Jones & Ellit'
and Tucker's ponds, cause the trouble
This does not appear to be the fact. Yet
others say that possibly tho basin at the
sewer outlet, in Bledsoe's field, may be
the source. That was inspected and
there is very little, if any, odor percep
tible to a person standing three feet
away. Others say that the sewer and
hog pens on the west and southwest
sides of the penitentiary cause the trotraJ
ble. But why is the odor perceptible
only at certain places ? Near the gas
works there is an odor, perceptible
mainly after nightfall, but it is claimed
that those works are not responsible for
the stenches complained of, although
there is great similarity in the odors.
An observant gentleman yesterday
ventured to say that perhaps the trees
and other vegetation, all unusually
dense this moist year, give out, under
the peculiar conditions which prevail,
the odors spoken of; or else that some
particular tree might exhale them. The
tree of paradise has been considered
unhealthful and malodorous, but there
are remarkably few of that species of
treo here. . It w.ll be interesting to dis
cover the true cause of the smells and
iii formation on the subject is requested.
The city authorities are continuing their
attempts to find the cause.
The county superintendent of health
gives it as his clear opinion that the
odors are caused by leaks in the gas
mains. Through these the gas escapes
and saturates the earth. Presently a
portion of it finds an outlet and after
nightfall, when the atmostphere is most
humid, makes its presenoe felt. He
nays in some places where there are no
gas mains, odors whish are perceptible
arc often canted by decaying vegetable
and animal matter washed up against
f duces in rear of gardens &o., by the
rains. In this case a free and prompt
use of disinfectants is desirable.

The convention reassembled at 9
o'clock when the balloting continued,
ballot after ballot being taken without
any material change being made from
the first ballot. About the thirtieth
ballot Mr. LeGrand's name was with
drawn and his oounty thereafter voted
almost solidly for Col. Rowland.
After the S2d ballot the vote of Ca
barrus, and Stanly was oast solidly for
('ovington, with two or: three excep
tions. The main strength of the Anson
delegation held to Covington to the last.

gation until the last ballot. Rowland
carried the main strength of the
Mecklenburg vote to the last One hun
dred and forty-five was the largest vote
polled by Maj. Stedman on any ballot.
New Hanover, Columbus and Bruswick,
voted for him solidly to the 50th ballot
when his name was withdrawn. Maj.
Stedman's vote ranged from 102 to 118.
After the 32d ballot Mr. Covington was
in the lead oftener than any of his com
petitors. He received over 150 votes
on a number of ballots. After the 56th
ballot Maj. Stedman's name was with
drawn and the contest narrowed down
to Mr. Covington' and Maj. Rowland.
After the withdrawal of Maj. Stedman's
name as was naturally to have been ex
pected his strength went to Maj Row

oounty, thus securing his nomination.

Mr. Morrison, from the committee on

Messrs. McMillan and Warner, of
Ohio, opposed the resolution, thinking
it of doubtful propriety for the House
to order a session for the passage of
public building bills when the land
rrant forfeiture bills could not Obtain a
consideration. ,
Mr. Morrison suggested that when a
