Enlargement of the work was the main topic of consideration. The eagerness to get the floor by a dozon or more at one time reminded one of the House of Representatives. Dr. Boyce, the President, is a mas ter of assemblies and has but little difficulty in keeping order. List night the main address of the evening was delivered by Rev. Mr. Powell, missionary in Mexico, who; is much beloved and ia a good speaker. At the conclusion of h' ' address he raised $3,500 to aid in ending-,'" tional missionaries to Mexico. Rev. Dr. R H. Graves, returned missionary from China, also addressed the meeting. - Considerable etir was created among the delegates from tbe First Baptist Church, Raleigh, on reading in the; Richmond Dispatch the note of its N. O. correspondent that Dr. .Strickland, of Nashville, had declined the call recently extended to him and yesterday it was discovered that there was no foundation for the statement. ! A large number of the delegates are on their way to Washington City to take in the sights and shake hands with the President. Dr. Bright, of New York, editor of the JZxatniner, the leading Baptist paper of the world, made a short ad dress before the convention ytster day. j The Raleigh delegates going, to Washington will reach home Friday night.

The resolution also provides for the rejection of the output of plaidB during the next ninety days, of one-third, and this will give each plaid mill thirty shutting down days during the next three months.

Washisotos, D. C, May 15 Sen ate Mr. Edmunds offered a rei-ulu-tion to amend the rales so ao to mk it the duty of the pres ding officer ol the Senate whenever any gnprm legislation appeals in a general ap propxiation bid coming fr m tti House to direct the same to bo struck out, subject to an appeal to the Sen ate. Refe:red to the committee on rules. TJie resolution offered by Mr. Vest lasf Monday providing for a select comuiitree to examine the . question touching meal and meat products of the United States was taken up and after k& long discussion by Messrs. Vest, Cullom and Plumb, the resolu tion for a select committee was ex tended so as to make the investiga tion embrace the Trunk Line Associa tion, the Central Traffic Association and other agencies of transportation, and was adopted. The Senate bill appropriating $500,000 for the commencement of a boat railway around the obstructions of the Columbia river at the Dalles and Celile Falls was passed. The Senate then agreed to proceed to the consideration of bills on the calendar, and (o continue thereat for two entire legislative days after to day. Among the bills passed were the Senate bill appropriating $10,000 for a public building at Fort Monroe' Va., and Senate bills to pay various claimants for cotton taken by Gen. Burnside to strengthen military works at Knoxville, Tenn-. Havicg passed in all thirty-eight 'bills the Senate proceeded to execu tive business, and at 4 45 adjournad. HOCSE. The House met this mornirg at 10 o'clock and went into committee of the whole (Mj. Springer, of Illinois, in the chair) on the tariff bill. Mr. Baker, of New York, spoke iu support of the protective tariff, cited the prosperous condition of the in dustries of his district as attributa ble to the high tariff and declared that .the capital and Hbor of the country were ssriously agitated by the rt cent development of the free t ade heresies of tbe Cobden Club in the ranks cf the Democratic party. He wished to give the committee the berjefit of an object lesson and in order to do so produced three pairs of stockings, displaying, as he said, the colors o' the American flag, which were manufactured in Rochester, aud he invited the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Mills) to visit that city, promis ing to introduce that gentleman to the woolen factories and to the fair hands that ' funed out those stockings by the thousands daily. He preaen'-ed the stockings to the gentleman from Texas, with the sug gestion that he send reef ones to the President, white ones to the Speaker, and that he keep the blue ones him self as typical of his. own feelings at the end of that session when he be held the defeat of his measure. (Laughter), lie predicted that on account of the Mills bill an increased Republican majority in his district rwould be given for the Republican candidate for the Presidency, pro vided he steered clear of alliterative divines). (Laughter). Mr. Bound, of Penn., regarded the Mills bill as a long stride in the direc tion of free trade, and as the inaugu ration of a tariff measure which must eventually prove ruinous and disas trous to many important industries in which his people were largely inter ested. He th .nked the President for tearing the mask from his Democratic followers; Ntf longer could the, fa vorite sons of Pennsylvania be de ceived by the declaration . that the Democratic party was in favortof pro tection. Mr. Randall could not again at tempt to save the manufacturing States of Pennsylvania, New Yrk and New Jersey to the Democratic party as he had done four yeats ago; and if the Democratic party intended to commit political hari-kari, brother Randall would hardly be one of the ef mourners. 1 VI r. Farquhar, of New York, criti- c. d the composition or the ways a; 1 means committee and asked if it was just and fair and in the propriety cf common sense that eleven lawyers, ol-- cotton planter and one railroad manager should , legislate for the American industrial people. lhe kernel of the whole matter, he said, was that the committee on ways, and means had not taken into account the fact that within the last thirty years there had risen up two powerful bodies of work ingmen the trades unions and the Knightsof Labor. These bodies aggregated over one million of wage earners respectable. Those men had sent to himself, Foran, Gallinger and other recognized representatives of labor on this floor, scores of petitions protestmg in the strongest terms against'the free list and a good deal of the dutiable list of the Mills bill. While; it might be possible to pass this bill as a party measure, there were revis ing committees in all labor assem blies which would pass upon its merits independently of politics. These men would stand like a wall of iron against the free list and the! Cutting of wages, and at the ballot bex would decide against the Mills bill in to to or emasculated. (Applause.) - Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, expressed his. overwhelming conviction that the Mills bill was A fair and reasonably measure- It wis an honest effort on the part of the majority ol the ways and means committee to relieve the people. Its framers had manifested a liberal spirit towards protected industries, which these industries re fuse! to extend to the great body of the people who were the consumers of their wares and products. He! criticised the non action of the lle-i publicanb, and twitted them with con-' tenting themselves with finding fault with and abusiDg the Mills bill with out endeavoring to bring in any meas ure to fulfil their pledges to the people and he declared that the Republi can party was in a flight and busy burn ing bridges and felling trees along the road over which the Democratic party must advance for relief of the people. ' Mr. Rupsell, of Massacnu setts, in the course of h's Fpeech in favor of the pending bill, suid that the Lowell Carpet Culiau Lad recently ' sus pended o,-et at i&ns. The cry bad gone up all over Mafsaihusi tts that tbe Mills bill hid ki'.i. d it. Not a bit of .t, because its treasur. r tid that there was no (rouble ab ut (tie Mills bill. The concern, d the treasurer, had beeu moribund long ago. It had ht-i to sut'tu.t to an exaction of 25 per cent on eoarse carpet wuol ' until H could stand . it no lotiger and it had closed it wo.'ks un il the Mills bill was passed aa I the duty taken off of wool. (Applause on the Dem ocratic Sldi ). Mr. Fitch, who re resents a resi dence district iu t'ie upper part of New York City, a constituency com posed, as he said, of policemen, fire men, newspaper reporters, printers, letter earners and engineers, a class of workmen who have no direct pro tection but are heavy payers of tar iff taxes upon everything that enters into their living food, clothing, fuel and shelter, made a long and strong speech in favor of the Mills bill. He was unwilling to put off resision of the tariff until the Republicans may have regained control of the House. Tarifl revision he regarded as an in dispensable necessity of the present and he was not willing to make that consideration secondary to the ques tion of who shall make the revision. Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, dis puted the correctness of the illustra tions and statistics presented by Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania, in his speech of Friday last and devoted a Urge part of his remarks to a criticism of Mr. Scott in terms that aroused that gentleman's temper. A sharp, i wordy quarrel occurred between' bcott and Dalzell and Brumm (also of Pennsylvania) who reinforced Dal zell. Other speeches were made in favor of the bill by Mr. McRae of JArkansas, and against by MeserB. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, Laird of Nebraska, Regan of Kansas and Allen of . Michigan. The committeo then rose and at 5.30 took a recess till, 8 o'ejock. : The Republicans and the Tariff Bill. By Telegrapli to the News and Observer. Washington, May 10. There ii a good deal of consultation going on among Republican members of the House upon the proposition made by M r. Mills last week that the House shall vote' on the Mills bill and the substitute to be offered by the Re publicans directly upon the close of general debate this week and without consideration of the amendments. Up to ibis point no sort of an agree ment has been reached by the Repub licans aud there is a wide difference of opinion on the subject. Some Stern berg believe that the Mills bill can be easily beaten in its present shape, while others and noticeably the New York contingent hold that they are in duty bound to use every effort to kill the bill and that this can be effectually done only by riddling it with amendments. Prominent Re publican tSeantors are being con sulted almost every day by Republi can leaders in the House; Some of them profess to believe that Mills was prompted to make his proposition through fear that his party would disrupt and be led off by tempting amendments offered by Republicans. Mr. Mills himself says he has no fear on that score. He says he made an Offer to save the bill from being drawn into the whirlpo'ol of a five-minute debate, which might hold it in its grasp indefinitely. He is confident that his party can be held together on the principles under which the bill was constructed, and that all of its vital features can be preserved, although amendments of minor importance,i about which he cares little, may be made. It, appears that the proposi tion to take testimony without con sideration of the amendments was made by the Democrats as a condition to granting an extension of the gen eral debate at the time the Repub lican members of the ways and means committee declined to give it an im mediate answer, but took it under consideration. Mr.. Mills expects the offer to be rejected, but it "may be noted that the canvass which is going on has revealed the fact that the proposition is acceptable to a consid erable number of Republicans.

A. THE DEMOCRATS OF THE OLD DOMINION IN CONVENTION. OSE OF THE LARGEST ARD MOST REPRE SENTATIVE BODIES EVER KNOW5 15 THF. STATE OTHEB NEW By relegraph to the News and Observer. Nokfolk, Va., May 16. The prin cipal woik before the Democratic State Convention which met here today , is the election of Presidential electors and delegates to the St. Louis Con vention. The most prominent names mentioned for delegates at large are : Senator elect John Barbour, Senator J. W. Daniel, John Goode, D. HofcneB, Henry Heaton, Richard F. Beirne, Editor of the Richmond State and a prominent candidate for the guberna torial nomination next yenr, and T. Harrip, of Rockingham. The reason given, by Mr. Barbour's friends for his desiring to go to St. Louis is that if he is to accept again the chairman ship of the parly in the State, he wishes to be at the National Conven tion to confer with the leaders of the party there. It is understood that if Mr. Barbour is elected as delegate at large, Senator Daniel will be also. If any platform is adopted it will be short. The opinion of the majority of the delegates is that te National Convention is so near as to make it inadvisable to discuss the tariff ques tion at any length. At 1243, when Chairman Barbour called the convention to order, the Academy of Music was filled with one of the argest and most representative dele gations sent to a Virginia convention for years. Mr. Barbonr was received with great applause. Mr. W. W. Berry, of Nelson, was made tempo rary chairman. Mr.: Barbour, jin calimg the con vention to order spoke briefly. He said the convention had been called together not to consider the state of affairs, but to nominate Presidential electors and send delegates to the St. Louis National Convention. As to the question of the candidate to be hominated at that convention, he paid, fortunately for tiae harmony of the pamvtbere seemed to be no division oi peniimenL iu ; iue cuumry. 11.0 administration jf Cleveland aa a whole has commanded the approba tion of Democrats throughout the countrv, and ;rus renomination at St. Louis has virtually been made -already. Touching the question of platform Mr. Barbour did not see why the convention should worry itself about the declar ation of abstractions commonly called a'platform. It is a national e'ection and the national convention is the proper forum to discuss aud decide upon a platform of principles. The platform adopted by the Democratic party in 1844 at Chicago, which re fers to the internal revenue system as. a war tax and calls for a reduction of tha revenue, onght to be sufficient hue the contention was waiting for the report of the committee on permanent . organization, Gov. Lee, who was in the City, was invited to the convention. . His presence was greeted with great applause. In addressing the convention Gov. Lee said in reference to the State debt it is true mat tne great ques tions I nave had to deal with as Gov ernor of the Stalte, the problem of tbe State debt, is not settled. One of the difficulties we have labored un der is that creditors holding the obli gations of the State, known as the oouus 01 10 11, are separaiea ironr-us by the Atlantic ocean. The affairB of foreign bondholders have been com mitted to a syndicate of gentlemen who reside in London and whose business it is to make settlements be tween the" different countries and their creditors. The Virginia com mittee of that council has had charge of the branch called the Virginia bonds and some of the members of that committee have themselves been purchasers of' coupons and have sent them over to ibis country by an agent for the purpose of giviag the4iP to our tax payers upon such conditions as will net. them a nandsome pront. it can therefore be readily Comprehended that their advice to holders of bonds of that description would be against funding tnem into bona a of other de scriptions so long as they can make money by handling the coupons. "The State of Virginia demands that her public schools shaill receive all they are entitled to by law and the Constitution, that her insane and those, who are not able to maintain themselves shall be 'provided for and cared for and that her State gov ernment-8hall be carried on. After that is done whatever represents the balance will be, I think it may be safely stated, used in borne form of settlement for the purpose of extin guishing the State debt" 0 Senator Daniel and Mr- John Goode also addressed the convention. Every refereuce to President Cleveland was received with warm applause. ' The convention was permanently organized with R H. Caldwell, of Hanover, as chairman. The following were elected as district electors : 1. K. 13. right D. Gardner Tvler, Taizewoll EUett Wm. R. McKinney, H. G. Pe ers,cW. W. Berry, Mica j ah Woods, John A. Buchanan, R B.

It is expected in Chicago that the Cook County Democratic March ing Club will dazzle the eyes of the St. Louis Convention. It will swoop down upon that body in suits of gor geous Scotch tweed, pearl-green high hats, umbrella canes, great silk badges, and other insignia. Two hundred of them will parade in St. Louis with a brass band and cheer for Cleveland. About one hundred members of tbe club will go in uni form to the Illinois Democratic State Convention at Springfield on the 22J instant.

During the last ten days or more I have met with quite a number of good Democrats in Beveral eastern counties, ana win endeavor to com municate to the News and Obsibveb tbe information gathered as to the sentiment of the people for Governor. me writer Knew that Judge Fowle was popular in the East, but must confess some surprise at finding such unanimity 01 sentiment in favor of anyone man for .Governor. The general opinion 6eems to be that r owle is the verv Sirnncent man to nominate this year, j' One good Dem ocrat said to me that if Fowle is nam inated his county would poll at least one hundred more Democratic votes than could possibly be done with any other candidate for Governor. ' And more than once I heard the remark that Fowle could solidify the rank ana nie 01 tne party ana leave no chance for independent candidates whatever. An old gentleman, ad aressing nimseir to a dozen or more eager listeners a fey days ,ago, spoke as iouows: "Solomon Bays there is a time to keep silence', and I do hooe this year the politicians will play shut mouth and stand aside, and let the people nominate tbjeir favorite Dan Fowle, of Raleigh." His words struck a responsive chord in the hearts ot the few present, and he was assured that tbe chances were decid edly in favor of Mr Fowle for the Gubernatorial nomination. From the newspapers of the State it seems that Judge! Fowle is not on ly strong in the East, but that the West is equally outspoken for his nomination. The people every where appear to be enthusiastic for him. He hits a Kt.rnncr hold on fh nfTAntinnn and confidence cf the people and they are rallying more earnestly than ever before to suppoit of bia can didacy, lhe b owle boom is sponta neods and is sweeping the State with a force that is irresistible. If nomi nated (and it appears now that he will be) the people of the State will support him with a loyalty, devotion and enthusiasm unknown fo any oth er Gubernatorial cand.u.'.'e since 1876.- The people are for him, and when they are united truly may it be said "the gates of hell cannot prevail against them.
