Washington, Jan. 17 Senate Mr.
Sawyer asked Unanimous consent for
the immediate consideration of the
House 6 ill relating to permissible
printing or writing on second, third
and fourth class mail matter, such
bill having. been reported back from
the postoffice committee without
amendment- Consent was given and
the bill passed.

ing of the jrnessage Mr Hoar moved
that it, with the accompanying re
ports, be committed to a select c m

Subsequently, Mrp'Gorman moved

THE BLAIR BILL.
Tbe Blair educational bill was then
taken up, and Mr. Bowen made a
speech in Support of it-
Mr. Blaar followed Mr. Bowen in
advocation of his bill. v
Mr. Hams interrupted Mr. Blair
to say that in Mr. Blair's pamphlet
the legislafure of Tennessee was rep
resented ag, favoring the bill. That
was a gross mistakt; the legislature
of Tennessee had never taken any
such position.
Mr. Blair admitted that there might
probably be a mistake as to Ten
nessee, but he was certainly
not mistaken in saying that
the bill was favored by the legisla
tures of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, Florida, South Caro
lina, North Carolina and Virginia.
So that inft'hose States whose Sena
tors generally attacked the constitu
tionality of the bill there seemed to
be no such objection to it.
The debate became general and
was participated in by Messrs. Hoar,
Dawes, PleU and others, Mr. Blair
still noldig"the floor. Mr. Blair
finally, however, yielded to the motion
to ad journ (stating that he proposed
to press the bill to an early conclu
sion). At 4 15 the Senate adjourned.
HoreE.
There wis much uneasiness mani
fested in the house this morning over
hews of the serious illness of Speaker
Carlisle. The House was called to
order by the clerk,! who announced
the fact of the Speaker's indisposi
tion, and seated that nominations for
Speaker pro tern, were in order.
Mr. Mula, of Texas, offered a reso
lution- appointing Sam' I S. Cox, of
New York, as Speaker pro tern dur
ing the present temporary absence of
the Speaker; and the resolution was
unanimously agreed to.
Mr. 'Cox having taken the chair and
called the House to order, the chap
lain offered the following prayer
"Hear us, we humbly and devoutly
implore the, oh Lord God, in behalf
of Thy servant, the honored and be
loved. Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, who lies exhausted and
smitten wth disease. Put forth Thy
band, we beseech thee, for his speedy
and total recovery of health; inspire
his doctof with wisdom and sound
discretion; bless the medicines which
are used. J; Keep the mind of Thy
servant in perfect peace and under
9
Thy guidance; and in Thine own good
time bring) him back to his place in
this House with a devout and rever
ent sense 'of gratitude to Thee for
this and all Thy blessings to him."
On moion of Mr. Mills a resolu
tion was adopted directing the clerk
to inform the Senate that the House
had elected Hon. S S. Cox as Speaker
pro tern.
Mr.' Crisp, of Georgia, submitted a
report oi the committee on elections
upon tne xnoeoe uarnaie contested
election -ease, and it was ordered
printed. Leave was granted to the
minority to file their individual views,
and -Mr. .Crisp gave notice that he
would as the House to act upon the
report on-or before t riday.
lr. Phelan, from the committee on

tee of the Whole.
On motion of Mr. McMillin, of
Tennessee, the bill reported from the
committee on rivers and harbors rela
tive to the purchase of land on Cum
berland fiver, was taken up and
in consideration oi the "morning
hour Alf. Wuiuns, ol Ohio, called
up as unfinished business the bill to
provide for the issue of circulating
notes to r national banking associa
tions, the, pending question being on
ordering tne previous question, on
which the ayes and noes had been or
dered. . The opponents of the bill
again filibustered until the morning
hour, was consumed and the bill went
upon the calendar-.
The Speaker pro tern laid before
the House the President's message
accompanying the report of the Pa-
cinc rauroaa commission, ine mes
sage was" read and with the report
was referred to the committee on the
Pacific railroads and ordered printed.
Mr. Wilkins then moved that the
House proceed to the consideration
of unfinished business.
Messrs; Anderson and Weaver re
sumed their filibustering tactics
against the Wilkins bill. After sev
eral dilatory motions were voted
down the House determined to con
sider the; banking bill yeas 145, nays
100; bufc this determination was of
little avail, for other filibustering
motions were resorted to.
After some time Mr. Anderson
"stated that the object of what he did
was to aecure an opportunity for
free discussion and amendment.
That was all he desired.
Mr. AVilkins replied that he had al
ways been willing to grant ample
time for free discussion and amend
ment. Mr. Weaver announced his opposi
tion to any compromise which might
facilitate tho passage of a pernicious
bill, and he gave notice that if he
could not succeed in defeating the
measure upon a
deavor to do so
vote; he would en-
by resorting to the
parliamentary rules of the House.
It being evident that no progress
could be made upon tlie bill today,
the House, on motion of Mr. Wilkins,
at 4 15, adjourned.

SPEAKER CARLISLE
AND THE ILLNESS FROM WHICH
HE IS SUFFERING-
HIS DOCTOR REPORT "ON TBI WHOLE,
CEBTATHLY IMPROVING" OTHER
NEWS BY WIRE.
Washington, Jan. 17. Speaker Car
lisle had another chill at 4 o'clock
this morning and Dr. Sowers, his
physician, was, hastily summoned and
remained at his bed-side sometime. -At
eight the Speaker was sleeping
quietly. Bis symptoms at that hour
were rather more favorable. At 11
Dr. Sowers reported the Speaker's
condition as much improved. Since
O'clock he has had four hours of
restful sleep and is now reposing
quietly with no signs of a recurrence
of chills. Dr. Sower speaks very en
couragingly and predicts no alarming
consequences of the attack.
Speaker Carlisle was taken sudden-
y ill with a congestive chill, Monday
evening, while at the dinner table in
the liiggs House, and had to be as-
tinted to Lis room by Mis. Carlisle. The
chill was followed by high fever, and
for an hour or more the Speaker was
slightly delirious. J
Washington, Jan. 17. At D o clock
tonight Dr. Sowers said that Mr. Car
lisle was restirg quietly, and on the
whole was i considerably better than
he was thi$ mornirjg. He had, how-
ever, another chill during toe aiter
noon, to which the doctor seemed to
attach but little importance. The
cbillB, he said, were caused by intes
tinal disturbances which were prima
rily the result of overwork and disor
dered digestion. The question was
asked, Is he dangerously or
even seriously ill?" "I do not so
regard him," was the reply.
He is quite weak, as 1 said,
from overwork and anxiety,
and it may? be some time before he is
able to be about, but he sits up in his
bed, has never for a moment lost con
sciousness and has had several hours
of refreshing sleep, and I think with
out repeated and violent recurrence
of the chills he will get along without
any serious trouble. On the whole,
he is certainly improving.

A GOOD ONE ON JUDGE GILMEB.
Col. Fred Stith tells a good story
on Judge Gilmer. Gen. Leach waa
taking the Judge's deposition at
Greensboro the other dav be-
Pfore Clerk Holton. The Judge
was about to sign the depo
sition when Leach stopped him.
"Hold on there, Mr. Clerk," he said;
"I want to ask Judge Gilmer one
more question." Question: "Judge,
are you a candidate for Governor ?''
Answer : "I'm in the hands of my
friends." A Representative North
Carolinian, who heard the story today,
said that he regarded Judge Gilmer
as one of the strongest men in the
State. It would be hard to find, he
said, a more available candidate for
Governor. The question of locality
would not, in his opinion, influence
the convention against his nomina
tion. In the event the nomination
does not seek Minister Jarvis, it is
thought that the Jarvis influence
will go to Gilmer.

Refused to Wed Her once Intended.
Winston Sentinel.
During tbe holidays a number of
matrimonial events took place in For
syth and adjoining counties, several
of which might be termed somewhat
romantic. In a neighboring town, a
few days since, an event of this kind
was about to take place. The legal
document had been purchased and
the prospective bride stood in readi
ness to be led to Hymen's altar. The
intended groom arrived, but to his
surprise he was met at tbe door by
indignant relatives of his intended,
who informed him that he could not
marry any one at his house. Uncom
plimentary remarks passed and the
opposer of the marriage emphasized
his remarks by knocking the would
be groom down. The confusion was
quieted by the young lady appearing
and declaring that she would not
marry the fellow. The disappointed
man could do nothing but take his
departure, which he did in a stagger
ing manner. The affair is said to
have caused a considerable sensation
as some of the parties are highly con
nected. Spirit of the State Press.
Now here in Davidson county
which adjoins Guilford, and is a large
and important county, if a single
man among its two thousand demo
cratic voters has ever complained, or
is dissatisfied, or cares the snap of
his finger about Mr. Settle's clerk, he
has kept very quiet on the subject.

A political party, whose only hope
of success is based on the prejudices

A Woman's Discovery.
"Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in this
county. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years Bhe with
stood its sevelests tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly and could not
sleep. Bhe bought of us a bottle of Dr.
King 's New Discovery for Consumption
and was so much relieved on taking
first dose that she slept all night and with
one bottle has been miraculously cured.

SIPnESlE COURT DECISIONS.
Digested bv Uie News and Observer, j ft;
Dula vs. Seagle. j
The decree under which a sale of
land is ordered to 6atisfj the claim of
the vendor for purchase money un
paid, should requireythe commission
ers to report the sale to the court per
a commissioner, and it is irregular if
that requirement is omitted, f Until
the cause is entirely disposed of that
irregularity is open to correction on
motion. i i
An offer to raise the i bid ten
per cent, properly supported by bond,
is recognized as sufficient ground to
re-open the biddings. ; tj
Peacock vs. Williams.
Peacock held a lieu for lumber
used in the building of a house for
Mrs. Luke. Mrs. Luke made an
agreement with Williams by which
Williams undertook to satisfy all
liens on the premises. Peacock sought
to enforce his hen against Uliams.
Held, that there was ho priority be
tween the parties and W illiams was
not liable to Peacock because of his
engagement to Mrs. Luke.
Porter vs. Grimsley. ;
Held, That where none
6f the re
cognized grounds of
demurrer are
set out in a demurrer to
the com
plaint, it may be adjudged
frif olOus.
Held, Where no demand
or money
due is alleged to have been
made on
a particular day, in a Case
where in
terest runs only irom demand, in
terest will run from the date Of the
summons.
Abernathy vs. Seagle.
Held, That the allegata
bata must agree and that
anjd pro-
altnougb
one may sue for "a horse'
and re
he must
cover "a cow", yet to do it
amend his complaint id make his al
legations cover his proof which the
judge may allow on terms unless the
proposed amendment affects
merits and substantially changes the
claim or the defence. fVherp a credi
tor attacking a deed for fraud alleges
that it was made by one
Jarratt to
the wife of his debtor and
with the debtor's money,
paid for
arid the
the heirs
proof is that it was made by
of Jarratt to one b tailings
who held
a bond for title, who made
he deed
to. the wife of the debtor, the: proof
did not sustain the allegation of com
plaint, and as plaintiff did
nbt ask
to amend his complaint, the
variance
was fatal to his case
State vs. Bryan.
Defendant was a justice
cf the
peace, and in a case before a
justice of
the peace, the defendants hot;; being
present when the case was called, said
they were sick and he bad come as
their agent to represent them in the
case, lie conducted the case as a
lawyer might have done, examined
witnesses, made' arguments to the
court, &c.
He was indicted for practicing law
while a justice of the peace.j j:
Held, That there being no evidence
that the defendant appeared for a fee,
which is an essential element of prac
ticing law, there was not sufficient
evidence that he "practiced law" on
the occasion, and that the statute
does not extend to prevent a justice
of the peace from transacting business
for another person as an agent or
attorney in fact but only as an
attorney at law. j;
Ray vb. Ray.
Held, Although some improved
matter be inserted in a supposition
embodied in a question asked an ex
pert testifying as to the capacity of
a feeble-minded person to make a
will, the error would be cured when
the court instructs the jury that they
must decide the truth of the facts
upon which the hypothetical question
is asked, and if the facts assumed are
not substantially proved to the satis
faction of the jury the answer to such
hypothetical question should not be
considered by them. fi
Held, Where there is evidence of
the exercise of a vitilating tinfluence
over a feeble-minded testator it is
for the iury to say what weight was
due the evidence, it being sufficient to
sustain the verdict.
