The disturbance occasioned by defendant's singing was decided andserious. It made 4ne part of the congregation laugh a&d the other maxl: The irreligious and frivolous enjojed it as fun, wh.U the serious and 'devout were indignant The con gregation had been so tauoh disturbed by it that tbe preacher declined to Biligi the bymo, an4 he shut up the -book without singing it. The presiding elder had refused to preach in the church on account of the dis turbanco occasioned tiy it. On one occasion a leading member of the chofeb, appreciating that there was a feelijbg of solemnity pervading the congregation in consequence of a ser mon just delivered, and fearing that it would be turned in ridicule, went to the defendant and asked him not. ta Bing, and that on Ibis occasion he- did aot eing. The cbjrch members frequently expostulated with defend ant about his singing,; and the dis turbance growing out Of it to a'l of which , he replied, "t&at he would worship hii God, and as a part of his worship it was his Suty to sing." Defendant is a strict &embsr of the church and a man of '; exemplary de portment, and tbe prosecution admit ted he was conscientioijssly taking part iu the religious services and did not iatead to dislurb the cpsgregaiion. the court below held that the gen eral 'principle "that every man is pre sumed to nave intended the necessa-y consequences of his own act," applied to the facts of the ase. The de fendant was accordingly found guilty by tne jury; but upon. appeal the Su preme tJourt 01 this Sta e reversed the filling, and held "that the dis turbance of a religious congregation by Ringing, when the singer does not intend to so disturb it, but is consci entiously taking part in the services, may be a proper subject for the dis cipline of his churchv but is not in dictable." ; 'jJWary; the Queen of. the House of Dfrid and Mother dt JesuB is well printed, handsomely bound, beautifully illustrated; book by Be v.

StN ate. Ainong the bills reported from CQmmittaes and placed .on the calen dar was The Hanate bill to; withdraw public lands n Florida from all i Jt homestead entries. Also the post office and District of Columbia appro priation bills. (To be called up to morrow.) The Senate Committee on the Judi ciary today further considered the nomination of Melville W. Fuller to be Chief Justice without a Tea u it. The meeting continued nearly hilt nu hour after the Senate bad asse'n 1 d and the case was, on motion of M Vest, postponed for two weeks. The ' Senate sub committee on the tariff today lieard the views of the cotton bagging makers on the tariff. The committee was tcld that cotton bagging man ufactures had been established with imported machinery on which a duty of forty per cent had been p'aid and that the. capacity of these' establish ments was now fully 100 per cent in advance'of the demand foe bagging. The "reduction of tho present rates could be endured only in case jute butts were made free. The competi tion in India on bagging is so fierce, however, that if it were made free as proposed by the Mills bill, the .facto ries would suffer speedy riin. It was farther represented that there is no demand from the planters for fee bagging, inasmuch as bagging, as well as iron hooping on cotton bales is all weighed and paid for as cotton, and the planter, in this way, receives more for bagging than he pays for it. A resolution offered by Mr. Morgan ast Thursday, as to the fisheries treaty was taken up, and Went over till tomorrow. Mr. Morgan objected to Mr. Sher man's suggestion to consider it adopted,: as it had accomplished all nat was intended by it. Mr. Morgan intimated that be de sired to have further consideration npon it; ' Un motion , of Air. Sherman, the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the fisheries treaty in open - execu tive session, and was addressed by Mr. Gray in support of its ratification. jlhe questions with which the treaty dealt were not new. The fishery case .(so-called) in the northeastern waters of British America had not been made by the present adminis- on or by the present generation of mien; it had been made seventy years ago and had been continued through many generations, vexing 'the diplo macy and jeopardizing the p4ace of t wo of the greatest nations of tho earth. It was not (as had been "aid by Sena tor r rye) to be belittled by being lo calized.' The interests, happiness and Ui ! il. 1 t uyuuc 01 but, u'juuiiry ' were in volved in : the discussion, and it cqnld not be made to turn on the selfish wiBhe; or interests or pecuniary advantages of a small -number of capitalists who might reap or lose a profit by the use or non-use of the great governmental powers which ought never to be invoked except for the protection and advantage of ali the people. He greatly mistook the temper and sense of the American people: if they would tolerato . any other discussion of the ponding treaty but, tho one which appealed to their sober judgment, not to their preju- dipos or passions, and not to class of section, or if they would countenncr the rejection of it for any reasone which did hot concern the interests and welfare of the whole icountry of the h;onor prestige or , dignity or t$e republic. He went ou tq argue that the pending treaty Was a practi cal, sensible and statesmanlike way of dealing with the question. ! If, in obedienee to the party caucus which sit with cldsed doors and kept veiled ih secrecy the real motives of the op position, the treaty should be defeat ed by . the bare majority, an appeal would be made to the sober judg ment of sixty million people, and the brave and ' honest fishermen them selves would be appealed: to whose rights and interests were secured and maintained by this treaty; : At the close of Mr. drat s speech Mr.. Hoar obtained the floor, and fur ther consideration of the fisheries treaty was, on motion of Mr. Sher man, postponed till Monday, tbe 25th of June. I Adjourned.

Con gress of the Mills bill; that there is a; large surplus in the treasury which is daily accumulating to (he detriment of the general business, and which tjaods to a contraction pf the circu lating medium of the .country; that it is an uncertainty as to whether the Mills bill in its present shape will ever become a law and Al rpost certainly not in time to give Uie relief demanded and that the late un fortunate and unnecessary - civil war made an enormous and daily increas ing pension list just and necessary; that the success of tbe armies of the U mlea btates made possible and se cured the accumulation of large pri vate and corporate fortunes all over the country and instructing the com tuittee on ways and means to report the House bills first, repealing all laws providing ior internal revenue taxation and removing all of said tar .except that now collected npon spir its destined in whole or in part from grain and upon nia't liquors Second, providing for the levy and fcollection of a graduated tax on all incomes of persons, corporations, ai aociations and trusts of $5,000 and bp wards per annum, the proceeds of pai income tax to be devoted, exclu sively to the payment of pensions. jThird, providing that fall articles or iproducts not manuiacturea or pro- ducea in the United btates shall en ter the ports of the United States free of 4J import duty. Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, offered a resolution assigning July 5 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 for the consideration of general pension legislation.precedence to be given to the. arrears limitation repeal and the dependent pension bills. The resolution was accompa nied by a 1' ng pi eamble, the treading of which (as being a etump speech) Mr. Springer objected to. Thereupon Mr. Grosvenor withdrew tho resolution, stating that he would .ret th pr&iub! u.t the record in the speech.

Mr. Woodburn defended his State and Was bitterly personal in his at tack on Mr. Cox, but the latter gen tleman replied in a more good-natured manner, although he also in dulged in some biting personalities.

The Demo cratic caucus announced for tonight was not called at tho instance of the Democratic members of the ways and means committee but at the demand of a number of Democrats who are dissatisfied with the progress made with the tariff bill. The object is to devise means for restricting the five minute debate. Just how that is to be done ia not clear to most of the Democrats, but various plans are under consider ation one of which contemplates an agreement among Democrats to remain silent:' and take no part iri the debate, letting the Re publicans do all of the talking.

The admirable paper on tbe Con stitution of the United States read by Maj. Hale before the Manchester Sta tistical Society laBt evening serves to remind us of the comparatively slight attention which American political affairs have received in this country in recent years. For many obvious reasons, however, the political prob lems being worked out in the States are of the greatest interest to Eng lishmen, and certainly some elemen tary knowledge, to say the least, of the Constitution of the great republic of the West should form a part of the mental equipment of every well-informed Englishman. Major Hale is a close and fair nrnded student of the history and the current affairs of his own country, and having taken part in the severest con flict to which the Constitution has been exposed, he 'is qualified to speak with . authority npon the changes wrought in it sinoe its estab lishment nearly one hundred years ago. Maj. Hale is a native of a Southern State, and fought ' under Gen- Lee in the Confederate army. His testimony to the decisive nature of the constitutional amendment fol lowing the war is' therefore very striking. He declares the most im portant result of the war to be that "it is accepted in all parts of the Union as settling forever, it is to be hop; d the question of the right of a State or a combination of States to resist the supreme authority of the Federal government or to escape sub jection thereto, whether such action tafea the form of nat disobedience, or cf so-called nullification, or of attempted withdrawal beyond the jurisdiction of that author ity." The comparatively small number of amendments which it has been found necessary to intro duce into tbe Federal Constitution since its early days is undoubtedly a proof of its adaption to tha wan s of the country; but Major Hale is disposed also to attribute its endur ance and comparative freedom from change to tbe limited fieldswhich it covers. The several States 'perform for themselves most of the duties coming within the region of legisla tion and administration, leaving, in fact, only a narrow sphere for the operation of the national authority.

Renewed laughter and applause' I3ut, now, gentlemen, let me be serious a little. 1011 know, gentle man of the Ohio delegation, that when you were kind enough to call on me before you went to St. Louis I told you, and God knows it was the honet truth, that I did not want tho nomination, but that what I wanted was peace and quiet, but that it was impossible for mo to say that I would not refuse tho nomination, for that would make me a candidate a", once, and, therefore, surrounded with these difficulties, I could conceive of no other way, no other solution, t'jaii to place myself in your hands, and I did so freely, fairly, honestly, loyally, trusting tht you would lake care of my honor as well as the interests of the Ddtnoerfltio party. Cheers. Now, gentlemen, I do not undertake to speak for the party and say whether you have done wisely or not, but I do speak for myself, and say that you have done fairly and honestly and uprightly by me, and say that as long as I live I shall always bear towards you a grateful heart aud p'e:isant re collec'.ion. Applause Gentlemen, I thank you for your efforts, I thank you for what you have done, and, whether I shall be success ful or not successful, there is one thing of which I cannot be deprived, and that is the gratification of know ing that I have the good will of the people of my State, and not only of the people of Ohio, but of th 3 people, I th'nk, of the United States. Con tinued applause. Now, gentlemen, I do not think I ought to say any thing more for fear, as my fiiend Lowenstein would say, that I wou'd pa alyzeyou. Great laughter. 1 do not want to do that- I hope that every man of yon, since you have put me on the ticket, will go to work and work for the ticket. But I have another word to say before I stop and that is this: lhere scarcely ever happened in the history of this world a su Dinner spectacle than the re- nomination of Grover Cleveland by the unanimous voice, of the conven tion. Great applause. And now I Bay you aid a wise thing in that, a patriotic thing in that. The people of the United states love a brave man, and Cleveland is a brave man they love an honest man, and God knows he ia an honest man; they love a man of good sound judgment, and I do not know -any man of sounder judg ment than his. They love a man who stands up for the people, who stands up for principle and does not fear to take the consequences, and such a man is Grover Cleveland. Gentlemen, it will be an honor to every man of that St. Louis convention as long as he lives that he was there to cast his vote for this worthy President of the United States. Now I thank you and will bid you good-night. Great ap plause. Funerals. The last funeral rites over the re mains of the late Mr. R. H.

Having just been through portions of the counties of Edgecombe, Pitt, Beaufort and- Lenoir, embracing the best portions of the farming section of these counties, I will drop you a ine giving the result of my observa tions. They may be of some interest 1 think I can say without contradic tion that at this date I Lave never seen the cotton in such a dishearten ing condition. From i arboro to Ureenviile, a fine farming section, I did not see what would at this BaaSoi be called a respectable cotton crop. The continued rains, with freshets, and- the grass and cool weather have well nigh ruined the cotton, and iu some sections the hai has about com pletely 'demolish! d j it. Mr. Elias Carr, who, I may with justice and' truth say, is the mosti,complete ifarmer Jiidgecombe county, told 'me he had the poorest prospect at this date he ever had in his life. I did not Bee . between Tarboro and Greenville more than one crop approaching what might.be expectid, and this was a field of small proportions. From Greenville to Washington the cotton was worse than between Tarboro and Greenville. I saw there the effects of hail. Vr. J. J. Laughinghouse, who cultivates Avon farm in Pitt, the finest . and prettiest farm in the county, has 300 acres in cot con which has been about entirely ruined by hail within the past few days. He may possibly save 50 acrcB out of the 300. Th whole country ia flooded. . Mr. Laughinghouse runs three plan tations, and is a working farmer. His home place and his Bear Creek farm present a better prospect, though he eays he has by far the worst crop at this date in June he ever ha i, and he considers the outlook ai fearful. Mrs. Saunders (widowjf the late Col. Jos. H. Saunders), his next neighbor, in addition to a like crop, had the misfortune to have her stables burned a few nights ago, the work of an in cendiary. Her horses and mules were with difficulty saved. riverybody around Washington de- paired of making an average crop c f cotton. The crops around Kinston are almost hopelessly ruined by the ' ; rains and the grass, and in some cases below Kmston were mined by the hail. Capt. Peebles told me that the crops in North Carolina were the poorest he had ever seen. Mr. Henry W. Wahab, who returned from his farm in Hyde county today, told me tonight that: . the rain had greatly damaged the. crops in Hyde. This is the general complaint throughout this whole east ern section, and despondency is por trayed in the struggling farmers' aces. Truly bo hard working a class of people deserve better prospects. Poor Crops and reverses have steadily followed them for the past four or five years, but prosperity, I hope, will reward their efforts in the end. It is refreshing, however, to see the unanimity of approval everywhere in this section of the State of the action of the recent Democratic State Con vention. I have not yet heard a dis senting opinion, and universal accept ance is given. The Democrats are aroused, and a triumphant victory is ' at hand. T. A d.

Il.tluelna; the Sarplait The disposition of the Surplus in the TJ. S. Treasury engages the attention of . our statesmen, but a more vital question has our attention, and that is the redac tion of the surplus consumptives. Since the discovery and introduction of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, there has been a marked decrease in the mortality from this dreaded disease, and it is possible to still fuither reduce the number of consumptives. How? 'By keeping constantly at hand a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and using ac cording to directions, upon the appear ance of the first symptoms, such as a cough, a cold, a sore throat a chest or sideopaih.
