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.

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 port on the naval appropriation bill and it was agreed to.

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.

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. If all an Exhibit. The Bute fruit fair will be held at Fayette ville August 4 and 5. There -tnaWlxth Oiatrtet CaaTantloa.

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.
