I Aa early as the 12th of June th State'Democratip Executive Commitf tee sent to every township in. th Btatej letten orging the immedistf formation of Cleveland-Fowle : clubl and a .form for club constitution ;as4i by-lavB, one of the articles of the con SUtntlon requiring the president jot the club to report once a week to the chairman of the State Executive Com mittee the condition of the dab sod the condition of the township in which the club was situated. The; object j of the Slate Exeftuf tive I ! committee in organizing Democratic clubs in every township and neighborhood in the State is apf parent; and it is needless for me 4 say that tinder the immediate diree tton and control of the chairman of the aiau Jsxeciuivc Committee thef Will be of vast service in creating eng thasiaam, hunting np doubtful or in) different Toters, distributing cata paign . documents and : doing othef part .'work,! and that in many couu tiet, i where the members of th Oounty executive' committee seem to think that their whole duty consists io perniitting their names to be pabf Ushedm the county newspaper, these elubs will- be of incalculable servio o the chairman of the State E'x;. ecutive committee in the organizt tion of the party and his other duties But, as yon will readily see, if these clubs should form a separate and Lad- pendent: State organization with jftfr own president, secretary ana treasurer they; would thereby be taken away fron' ( the immediate control and direction of the ' chairman of the State) Executive Committee, this faluahlei : political . xqaohinery whdi he has created taken' out of his hands, and there would be !two political 6t- ganiaations, as it were, one with tle ehairinan of the State- Executive Co- mittee at its head and the other with the president of the State organizf- tion pi ciuuB at us neau, mus incur ring theldanger of two and different plans of party work,, the one comirJr in contact With the other. But even if the president and other officers of this State! club organization should happen to be in perfect accord with the chairman of the State Executive Committee and willing to work in fell ways under his direction tbe advaa tage to tne chairman of direct com munication with each club would be lost, And-there' would be too much "red 'tape" in the matter for prompt end eflective work. Again, in niy Opinion,; there is already a State or ganization of the clubs, the chairman and secretary of the State Executive Committee being under the law of the party the president, treasurer P: If the Object of this State conven tion of clubs is to formulate and adopt political principles in the shape oi a . , constitution, resolutions af, then': the convention is unnecessary and out of place because tbe Demo cratic party, in the only way known to its laws and customs, has already done this by its national and clatforms. If the object of this State convention is to create a mS- chineiy for the purpose of conducting the pending campaign then there ; no necessity or propriety wnicn war rants the) convention because Democratic party in convention e4- aemblednas already created an ad tnurable inacninery lor this purpose in all it details, and there is no pow er to change, add to or modify this except by another btate conventieto regularly and legally constituted. ! I take this occasion to say that the local clubs of the State, under the management of the young, enthu siastic and patriotic men oi the party, are and will continue to be oi more service to the chairman of the Demo cratio: State Executive Committee in tbe conduct of the campaign than any other; part of tbe party machinery, and that In the name of the partyf-I tender to them my sinoerest thanu With the young men oi the land ; On our side, victory is secure; and, in the laniraWcrA bt Mr. Banderlin.

'l Of TBI HOrSK OTBXB KEWS. y tetefat te tbe News and Observer WAskisaroN, July 31 Sknatx. The House bill removing the polit ioai; disabilities of Elliott Johnson, of Aooomac oounty, was reported and passed '(with a verbal amendment ) , Mr. Frye from the . select commit' tee on jPacifie railroads, reported the: Union pacific fending bill providing1 or the; settlement of claims . growing; out of ttie Issue of bonds and to secure, the payment of all indebtedness; lie said the bill is the Outhwaite bill as reported to the House, containing many ajmendmemts over the bill as it came fioca the commission originally. The Senate report is signed by all the members of the committee, the Sena- tor" froii Minnesota (Mr. Davis), who; was absent, having authorized the chairmim (by telegram) to sign, h's" name to the report. The bill rela'es-, only t4 the Union.. Pacific and the Central branch, having nothing what ever to do with the Central Pacific The committee found much greater difficulty in formulating an adjust ment afid settlement with the Central Pacific jth an with the Union Pacific and is pot prepared at the present time t4 make any report touching that cofnpany. It is barely possible that it pnay be necessary to amend' the bill when it is . under consider a-, tion. It provides for finding the oreseni worth of the debt of the: United! States against this corpora- $ finn. and T dnni that the statement 1 of the pr cess (which I have here and will read), may be printed in the Re cord. 1 . ! - Mr- Frye read the paper referred to and said the actuaries of the New York Life . Insurance Company had been requested to prevent the state ment, and that it was possible that (when received) the committee might want to offer it as an amendment to the bill , I The bill was placed on the calendar and (with the report) was ordered printed! ! Mr, Riddleberger, from the com mittee on manufactures, reported the bill providing that the surplus from the appropriation made for the Cen tennial JSapoviion of the Ohio Valley may be used for the expositions at Augusta, Ga , and Richmond, Va. Referred to the committee on appro priations. ; . . t The Senate resumed eonsiaerauon of the sundry civil appropriation bill, the pending question being on the amendment onered yesterday by Air. Spooner, as chairman of the commit tee on public buildings and grounds, appropriating $75,000 for a public building at Atchison. Kansas. Mr. lieck made a point or order on the amendment and proceeded to argue it If this amendment were decided to; be in order the effect of the decision would be that hereafter, for all time to come, the tule of the Senate wquld be, tnat tne ssenase might attach to. the sundry civil ap- propriation bill, sppropriaUons for - . . . . . . i - - public buildings, force the ' xlouse to act upon them, and force the President to approve them whether he objected to them or not. - He had inquired this morning at the document room of the Senate and found that at the present session 66 public building bills (aggregating in cost f9,723,000) had passed the Senate,' only a few of which, running up to about a half million dollars, had passed- the House. The attach ment of any of taese public bunding bills to a general appropriation bill was not good leirisiation. It tended to make divisions between the two House! and would be regarded by the House as an invasion of its rights, as an attempt to coerce it into doing what : tne senate nad done. There was enough of that sort l of I feeling always crrow in ur between the two nouses in this ind other legislative bodies, and it was well to avoid it whenever that could be done. He understood that the committee on finance in tended to Offer a direct tax refunding bill as an ! amendment to this bill That would add 17 million more to it. The -pubUo building bills would add ten millions more, so that if this thing went on the bill would appro priate more money than had been spent m any year of Buchanan s ad ministration for all purposes of the government. He did not believe in applying that sort of coercion to the House or to the President, or in say ing to the President that he must either sign a bill or allow the wheels of government to stop. Mr. bpooner replied to Mr. Beck and argued that the amendment , was not subject td the point of order. It might be. he said, that the rule ouarht to be amended in accordance with the views expressed by the Senator from Kentucky, but the only question now was whether tne amendment was in order under the existinsr rule. Mr. Dawes ii quired how the com' mittee on public buildings and grounds had selected the amendments to oe offered, j ! Mr, Soooner replied that tbe com mittee would simply offer the amend ments. ' Tbe public building bills which had been referred to it had been reported back by it and had then been referred to the committee on appropriations. The discussion was continued at much length and was participated in by Messrs. Test, Sher man and Reagun against the unfair ness of singling out some public buildings; unless all were included and by Messrs. Riddleberger and Daniel in favor pf .the amendment. Finally Ur. Beck withdrew his point of order as the opinion of Senators seemed to be against it, and called for the you and hays on the amendment as a test Question. Tne vote was taken and he tun Bailment was rejeoted,yeas 21, nays 2.i. Mr, Uii3JJ;' f-rgtr offered an amend- u'f?6 at'PitcpuaUijg fou,uuu lor a p -v tlu i)ing at Staunton, Va., and ftddreuood tbe Senate in advO' cecy of it. The amendment was re dacted yeas 16, nays 21. . I Mr. Fiumb offered an amendment providing that supplies the result of prison labor shall not be purchased for use at national soldiers' homes Kejectcd without division. I Mr. Brown offered an amendment appropriating $10,000 for an artesian yrell. at the United States Arsenal aoar Augusta, Ga. Agreed to. ; ,Mr Call offeied an amendment ap Sirnpriating 10,000 to be expended i?, the discretion of the Secre ary of the Treasury for the :covery of property of the Uni ts!; uuw held 'in adverse ipsseseion to the goveruujeut. He poke of the iuformalton recently laid 'wfore he 'S-MtAto on ttik ubj-(i. i Mr. Sherman opposed iho auxnd aeut and spoke of the hope of recov ering property whiih hrtU lelutged tO; the Confederate States as an tliu rii've one. The debts of thoue Stales were a lien on their property The proposition was simply to give some' gentlemen a pleasant trip to Europe. The recovery of Confederate propei ty by the United States government might be attended wi'h responsibility for their debts. : Mr. Evarts also argued against the amendment on like grounds. He said, that: several years ago he had been consulted and had advised against such an attempt and had declined to have anything whatever to do with it Mr. Call spoke in Bupport of the amendment. ' ; Mr. Cockrell opposed it and Bpok& of the fairy tales of the wealth; of the defunct Confederacy as being only equalled bj the stories of the immense wealth stored up in Eng land belonging to American heirs. He : gave an account of a suit brought in tbe name of the United States against i Frazer, Trenholm & Co., and read fJom ikA renort made bv the Secre- -: u n.. i u- tary: of the Treasury to the House of Representatives in 18G7, on the subject of that and other aim lar suits. He also read and criticised communications from H. B. Little page, employed as special attorney for the government in 1887, in rela tion to the recovery of Confederate property, and said that that .was the sort of information by which it was sought to show that a British ship of war (formeily the Texas) seen by Ad miral Luce at Bermuda had been the property of the Confederate States. Hfi had no doubt . that the British government could aooount for all the .ships in its' navy just as the United States government could! account for all its ships. Air. Edmunds UI course thay can be all accounted for, because they all belonged to the British navy at that time-i They were jnst as uiuch a part of the British navy then as they are now.! Mr. Cockrell But the Senator from Florida claims that they belong ed t to the Confederate states and should now belong to the United -States. Mr. Blair Is it necessary for the Senator from Missouri t& use the words "Confederate States so oftenf I don't think that expression should ie made use of. Mr. Cockrell Do you wish me to call them "rebel States T" Mr. Blair Anything you please, do not mv "Confederals State" kf ppodfederate Treasury" or any thing of that kind. Mr. Uockrell If the senator from Na TTamnahira tAlla ma inv word in English or any other language that will tickle his ear when applied to the ebels I will be only too happy to jnseiii Mr. Blair I only express my feel ings in the matter. The Senator may go on snd violate them, 'mere are other Senators just as sensitive on the subject as I am. v Mr. Cockrell I have no doubt of It, and I beg those Senatois' pardon. a am not trying to stun tneir eenii bility, but I am simply reading what the: senator from Florida has com pelted to be brought out in this dis voussion. Mn Call I protest against your iaying that I compelled them to be rought out I have nothing to do with the reading oi tnese papers. Mr; Uoekreu These papers were lent to the Senate in response to the resolution offered by the Senator from v?., , t. j i 3 . x lonua on wmou tne amenuuieui. based. In conclusion Mr. Cockrell said that the Moooaed appropriation would be aimply an absolute waste of so much money ana mignt complicate me United States jrovernment in troubles from which it might not easily extri cate itself. The bill went over till tomorrow without action on Mr. Call s amend merit, and the Senate at 8.30 ad journed. H0U8B. When the House met at noon to day the clerk laid before it a letter irom tne cpeaaer announcing ua eu- orced absence from tbe city lor a 'ew days on account of important business, and upon motion of Mr Millsi. of Texas. Mr. MoMillin, of .Tennessee, was elected Speaker pro tern. ; and took the chair amid ap plause. Lf" Mr. Mills, of T4 J.ed unani mous consent that ue 7th of August be asaitrned for the consideration of bills reported from the committee on labor, witn the exception ot tne con vict labor bill. " Mi. Spinola, of New York objected to this- exception being made. i Mr. Mills stated- that unanimous consent could not be procured unless the exception was made. - Mr. Spinola replied that in tnat event the labor bills should lie just where thev were. The State of New York had already taken steps towards abolishing convict labor and he was bobosed to all owing the State of Pennsvlvama to flood his state wuu - . - . . ,w. . . . ... tonvicUmade goods. s Mif. Farauhar. of New xorK, em- bhaslzed the objection of his col league and thought that the excep tion should not be made, oo tne re Quest was not trr an ted. Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, called tip the conference report on tbe Oma-i ha public building bill. The bill, aa, oriffinallv passed bv the Senate, lim ited the cost for the site and building tot ,200,000. The House amended i this by fixing the limit for the site at $400,000, without making any pro vision for the building. As agreed to in the conference, the bill provided a limit of $1,200,000 for the building and site, with a further proviso that the site shall not exceed in cost $400,000, Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, severely criticised the practice which, he said, had grown up of the House conferees yielding to the Senate conferees in tbe matter of public buildings with out even a semblance of insisting on the wishes of the House. The House had the right to expect, that its con ferees would endeavor to support and maintain the views of the House, and if the conferees in this case had en deavored to do so the House had no information of it. This case pre sented such a glaring instance of abso lute defeat of the will of the House that he felt it his duty to call atten tion to it. There seemed to be an idea in the Housa that because there was a large amount of money in the treasury all kinds of schemes should go through in order to take it out. Bills were introduced for public buildings in towns so insignificant thatther6 could be no reason for boajte in the mind of the introducer except the fact that measures were not very' carefully considered and that there was a large surplus in the treasury. Mr. Dibble replied to what he termed the lecture which the gentle man had given the House conferees for their alleged delinquincy of duty. When the House decided thai a lot should be purchased in Omaha for the sum of $400,000. it decided in effect that the lot should be used for the erection of a public building and it reserved the right to say in future that the limit of the cost should be put on the building. The bill, as originally reported from the oommit tee on public buildings and grounds, limited the cost of the site to $500,000, but this reduction was the action of the minority, which threatened to filibuster unless it could have its own way. The question of the amount, of the limit, of the cost of the building was left indefinite by the House. It did not say that it would not give $800,000 or more for the building and it was an unjust state-' ment of the case to say that there was a difference of $800,000 between the House and Senate. The question be tween the two houses was not a ques tion of the amount.lt was a question of policy whether to provide for a site and building or for a site alone. After three conferences the committees had decided on what was substantially a compromise. The House yielded to the Senate in providing for the site and building, while the Senate had agreed to tQ3 House proposition limiting the cost of the site to $400,000. In was no surrender on . the part of the liouse, and he repelled tne insinua tion that the House conferees had been unmindful oi their duty as ser vants of the House, or had been reck less in their assaults on the public treasury. Mr. Crisp ridiculed the claim that the conference report was in the na ture of a compromise, and argued that it was a complete surrender to the Senate. After argument by Mr. Dorsey, of Nebraska, in favor of i s adoption, the report was rejected, yeas 81, nays vz, and the bill was again sent to the conference committee. On motion of Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, further consideration of the deficiency bill was postponed for the present and the House went into a committee of the whole on the army appropriation bill; with tbe senate amendments. Ail the amendments were non-concurred in with the ex ception of those relative to fortifica tions and ordnance. Mr. Townshend then moved the non-currence in these amendments in a bulk, but Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, demanded that they should be considered in or der. Mr. Townshend then moved non concurrence in the first amend ment appropriating $2,500 for the re pair of the sea wail and wnari at wii- let's Point, N. Y. Mr. Townshend contended that the military commit tee under the rule giving it jurisdic tion over subjects relating to the pub lic defence had ample jurisdiction over the subiect or providing ord nance, but the committee had not sought to arrogate to itself authority which had not absolutely been given to it and directed him to ask non- concurrence in the oenate amend ments. Mr. Blount argued that under the rules of the House the subject of for tifications came under tbe jurisdic tion of the appropriations committee and was a subiect with which the com- . j i , . ? i a mittee on military auairs uaa nouuug to do. Tbe action of tbe Senate sought to set these rules at naught. Some thing was due from that iron body at the other end of the Capitol to the representatives of the American peo ple. Was it worthy or tne senate to attempt to do that thing t was it worthy of the House to submit to it T He wanted to see the Souse con ferees instructed to inform tbe Sen ate conferees that the House would never vield. He would a thousand times rather see the army bill fail than see the Senate dominating this body. He was willing to resort to every parliamentary method to pre vent the perpetration of this outrage on the House, i : Mr. Reed characterized as absurd the position taken by the gentleman from Georaria. That position was That because the rules of the House sent ortvin bills to certain commit- mittees, the Senate must conform to these rules in the amendment of those bills. The position waa in eonfiict not only with the Senate that the House could stand but with common sense, and that the House could not stand. He then spoke of the impor tance of the proposed legislation. He admitted that there was not one chance in a hundred of war, but if war- should come the United States would undergo a national humiliation more terrible than ever had before been inflicted on the face of the earth. Pending action the committee rose, and the House at 5 o'clock adjourned. The Democracy hare every hope of i success la the coming election.

The President went on board the Susquehanna Thursday night and did not leave her except to fish until last night at 11 o'clock. The stories about his visits to various places en route are untrue.

Fur ther reports of the trouble on the San Carlos Indian reservation show that the Indians have been stealing cattle and repairing the supply of dried meat preparatory, it is as sumed, to an outbreak of hostil ities. When a party went to arrest hostiles, they opened fire and killed three Indians.

Me reports that serious trouble resulted from a quarrel among the Indians themselves. Capt. Lee remained upon the ground until about 4 p. m. today, when he conclud- edjthat the Indians were not disposed to .leave and thathis further presence tended to excite them. Capt. Liee then returned to this post. From the Indians Capt.

A ColumbuBi O , special to the Bal timore Sun eajs : Judge Thurman's mail brings him daily dozens of curi ous presents and mementoesfrom all parts of the country. He takes great interest in ope ft ing his mail, and crit ically examines everything. He began to place them stogether on a lare, old-fashioned I able in his library. which had surface large enough to admit at first of an orderly arrange ment of the artcles for exhibition to his intimate friends, but the constant accumulation has thrown the whole into a confused heap. Bandannas and pictures of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Thurman make up wo-thirds of the lot. There are ban dannas of all shapes, styles and sizes, ages and conditions, from the elabo rate silk one sent him by Congress man 9. S. Cox to the faded and dingy specimen sent by an old Ross county friend, to whom it was presented years ago, and ?ho was keeping it as a memento. The pictures are mostly photo graphs, sent by artists all ever the country, made by ihem from "favor ite negatives." The next article most numerously represented in the col- ection is the snuff box. One won ders where the senders were able to find an article now almost entirely dis carded from use. There are thirteen of these boxes. The most oostlv. probably, is a email affair of a capaci ty that would certainly not last such a rapid consumer as Mr. Thurman is said to be very long. The box itself is made oi a piece of deer s antler, beautifully polished, with a spring lid of gold, so' arranged that all the for- unate possessor has to do is to touch a little knob at the Bide and the snuff is at hand. It is? apparently intended. from its shape, to be carried in the vest pocket, an$ came from an ad mirer of the Old Roman up in the Wolverine State. A novel article in the same line is a home-made snuff box, which came from a gentleman from North Caro- ma. It is made from the sap wood of the white hickory, beautifully pel lshed. I he sender evidently made it himself. It is closed with a slidmsr lid and on one end is inscribed "Old Hickory," and on tbe other 01d Ro man." i Mr. Thurman employs a young lady, Miss May Nye.as private secretary.She is on duty in hia office, on High street most of the time, writing letters, which are dictated to her by Mr. Thurman during a few hours in the afternoon. Since his nomination he has been in the habit of walking down irom me residence to nis omne. (about three quarters of a mile), along toward ; three o'clock in the afternon, where, he remains until six; when he goes home to din ner. Lately he has changed hia life long habit as to his hours of rest and labor. As has been published, ever since he was a member of the Senate ne nas oeen in tne naoit oi sitting up t ' a a.o until two o clock in the morning, and often would continue hia reading until daylight. Then, or course, he would not rise until noon. "Last week," said- hia private sec retary, "I was surprised to see Mr. Thurman walk . into the office at 9 o'clock one morning. He explained that he had retired at 9 the night be fore, and arose at 5 m the morning. He felt better than usual, and said he was going to. adopt those hours in the future. Hei is really looking ten years younger than he was six months agO." : Mr. Thurman; it is understood, has about finished his letter of accept ance, and wiil soon commence to pre pare himself to make a number of speeches in the campaign. Ha thinks the Democrats may carry Michigan, and feels confident of Indiana. Wa i Weataer ta ' eago. Uhicaoo, J uly. dl. xci" c-rday was the hottest day experienced in this city this season.
