The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Vest for inquiry into the case of a Senate official (McKee) publishing a campaign book was taken up, and at the suggestion of Mr. Mitchell was informally laid aside. Mr. Hoar's resolution, offered j terday, calling the attention of the President to the previous recjuest of the Senate to be furnished with cop ies of communications to the British Government in regard to the; fishe riop, was taken up, and, at tne sug gestion of Mr. V est, was laid aside informally. Mr. Vest stating his un-i dorstanding that a message would be received in about half an hour, "and, be added significantly "on this sub ject." The Chinese exclusion bill was then taken up and Mr. Vest, re ferring to Mr. Dolph's denial of his statement that seven Chinamen had' been naturalized in Indianapolis in 1876 (under the superintendence of Mr. Miller, law partner of Mr. Harris on) and had voted the Republican ticket, read a letter which he had re ceived giving the particulars of. such naturalization and showing that the only mistake he (Vest) had made was m giving the date as l7b instead pi 1880. He also sent to the clerk s desk and had read corroborative affi davits. He added that instead of Us be- ing a fact that no uninamen naa ever been naturalized in the United states. some twenty of them had been natu ralized in State courts in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Indiana and had been allowed to vote. Mr. Dolph made the point that the records and documents were not evi dence of naturalization of the China men but only of the declaration of intention. The fact of naturalization was one to be pet formed by a Court, while the declaration of intention might .be made before a clerk 1 or notary. 5 Mr. Vest admitted as a lawyer, that the acts referred to did not constitute naturalization in the legal sense, but he said in Indiana the declaration of intention conJerred the right to vote. :Mr. Dolph asked Mr. Vest whether there was anything in the affidavits to' sustain the statement that Harri son's law' partner had anything to do with the naturalization of f the Unina- men in Indianapolis. Mr- Vest admitted that there wa not. On tbe contrary, he had learned that neither ! cf the lawyers of Mr. Harrison had anything to do with it. At this point a message was re ceived from the President of; the United States and laid before! the Senate, enclosing (as the only offioial information at band in regard to the Chinese treaty) copies of communica tions ; from Mr. Denby, minister to Pekin, the first, dated September; 6 tb, in these words : "Believe the treaty bas been rejected. Have demanded, from tbe foreign office positive infor mation some days since. Ho infor mation bas been yet received"; and the! second, dated September 6th, in these words :i "Treaty postponed for farther deliberation. 5 j After the reading of the message the, discussion of the bill proceeded, Mr .', Mitchell taking the floor and in sisting upon the propriety of pasting the ibUl, even if it were an adminis tration measure. The only criticism he would make upon it was that it did not go far enough. If he had his will lie would make tbe exclusion ap ply hot only to the four hundred mil lion Chinamen in China, but to those now in the United States. The Chinese bill was passed by!the Senate yeas 37, nays 3, (B.own, Hoar and Wilson, of Iowa). Mr. Blair moved to re consider the votei " pit. Mitchell was speaking rapidly and vehemently when the gavel ijell, and ike presiding officer put the Question. "Shall the bill pass 1 ' Mr, Gorman; rose to speak, but had got no farther than tbe words "Mr. President, in i consideration of this measure," when he .was stopped by the announcement on the part of the presiding officer that debate was hot in order, unanimous consent having been given yesterday that at 1 o'clock today a vote should be taken on the question, "Shall the bill pass ?" There being some question as to the terms of agreement, the report in the Record was read. Mr Gorman excused himself on the ground that he was not present when the agreement was made and was not aware of it. He now moved that the bill and the President's message be referred to tbe committee on foreign relations. Mr.iTeller That is contrary to the arrangement Presiding otiioer rne chair holds that the motion is in otder, and under the rule, notwithstanding the agree ment, the question was taken on Mr. Gorman s motion and the result was yeas 17, nays 19. No quorum. Messrs. Hoar, f latt and Sherman votea wsin the Democrats in the affirmative, and Senators Berry; Payne, Turpie and Vest with the Republicans in the neg ative. Mr Morgan had voted "no, but withdrew that vote because he did not know how Mr. Evarta, with whom he was paired, would vote. On the call of the Senate forty-six Senators answered to their names aad the vote was again taken, resulting in the defeat of .Vr. Gorman's mo tions yeas 19, nays 20. Messrs. lloar, Piatt and Sherman again voted "aye" with the Democrats, ajjid Messrs.! Barry, Payne, Turpie a$d Vest "W' with the Republicans The Question was then, taken cn the passage of the bill and the result was veaa i, nays 3. The negative votes were given by Messrs. Brown, Hoar and W dcon of Iowa. , Mr. Sherman did not vote at all Mr. Blair asked the presiding offi cer whether a motion to reconsider I the vote, was in order and on being ! that motion He 6id that if it were . reconsidered he would move an j amendment to the bill providing that ; the act sbali cot take effect till the bxpiration of iity days efter its j passage unless tLe pending treaty I shall be rejected by China within that time but to taae enect immediately on such rejection. A general political discnsBion ioi- lowed Mr. Blair s motion when it bad felosed. Mr. Teller moved, to lay on the table Mr. Blair's motion to reconsider. The vote resulted yeas 23, nays 11; no quorum. A call of the Senate having shown the presence of only forty -four Senators, M r. Jones, of Ar kansas, moved to adjourn. Mr. Blair As the vote jast taken is plainly indicative of the will of the Senate I do not want to d-lay ac taon and I therefore ak leave to with draw the motion to reconsider. Mr. Sherman I object. . A vote was taken on the mo tion 'o adjourn and it was de feated, yeas 19, ;nays 22. A vote was taken a second and th rd time on the motion to lav on t'-ie table the motion to consider, but each time there was lack of a quorum Several Senators took advantage of be ihg paired to refrain from votiDg. On the last of the votes the Sena tors voting "No" were Meters. Blair, Brown, Colquitt, Hoar, Reagan, Sher man and W ilson, of Iowa, most of the Democrats voting in the affirma tive. j Finally the friends of the bill real ized the uselessness of further at tempts to end the matter, and the Senate at 4 p. m. adjourned till Mon day, leaving the bill passed, but the motion to reconsider its passage pending. house. The House resumed consideration of the retaliation bill. ' The entire day was spent in a po litical debate with the; retaliation bill, ostensibly the subject under consid eration. Finally it was agreed that a vote on the bill should be taken at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and pend ing further debate the House at 6 o'clock took a recess until 8'o'clock, the evening session to be for the con sideration of private' pension bills. Te principal speakers were MeBsrs. Cannon, of Illinois, on the Republi can side, and' Hooker bn the Demo Cratic side. Nobody opposed the bill n !the sense of declaring their inten ' ion to vote against it.

Ntw Yoke, Sept- 7 Judge Thur man awoke shortly after ten o'clock this morning much refreshed after enjoying nearly thirteen hours of almost unbroken sleep. His physi cian says he is much be'ter and will suffer no ill effects from bis slight ill ness. Breakfast will be served in his parlor and he will probably spend the day quietly in his room, though he may take a drive about town. THE JCDGE ALL BISHT.j Naw Toek, Sept. 7 Judge Thur man is all right and his only regret is that he was unable to speak last night. He arose at noon and ex presses himself as feeling well, ex cept for a little weakness. Much anx iety Las been felt throughout the com. try regarding the Judge' o condi tion and ne is very grateful to people for their interest in him and wishes it to be explained In them that there is nothing in his condition to exoite alarm. He has simply suffered from an attack such as the strongest is lia ble to and is now all right. Dr. Goldthwaite, who is attending him, visited him shortly before 10 o'clock this morning and found him awake. He said the Judge was feeling very well but would not rise for breakfast until noon. After breakfast he ex pected to be strong enough to re ceive a few callers. Dr. Goldthwaite sajs Judge Thurman is a hale and hearty old man, but that his travels have simply tired him out. - It is ex pected that he will be able to fidfll Lis engagement at Newark. f?o opi ates were administered to Judge Thurman last night, his Bleep being perfectly natural.

Judge Fowle and Col. Docker y spoke at Roxboro today to a large audience the crowd being estimated at 2,000. The Democratic clubs of the county escorted Judge Fowle into the totvn, with flags flying and the greatest cheering and the procession was a splendid one- The epeaJung began at 1 o'clock. Mr. John F. Woody introduced Uol. Doctery, who spoke for an hour- His chief topic was that the Uemoerats had not done anything. At the conclusion of bis speech Mr. John a- Cunningham in troduced Judge Daniel G. Fowle. He poke of him as being an honor to the judicial bench and an ornament to the bar of the State; that bo was the candidate of the people, had always been an advocate of civil liberty and had at all times upheld the honor and integrity of the laws of North Caro lina. The Judge made a magnificent speech, debating every point clearly, and explaining to the people the is sues of the campaign, lie showed them that the Democratic party had kept its pledges, that the Mills bill, which was for the repealing of the to bacco bx, had passed the Demo cratic House and that the Presi dent was ready to sign the bill but for the Republican Senate whioh would not pasB the bill. I never heard the tariff made as plain. He pointed out conclusively and to the satisfaction of all how the people are oppressed, and that the few were ben efited at the expense of the people. He then spoke of county government and declared that as it now stood it was for the best interests of the peo ple of the State and should not be chanred. He told the people that Col. Dookery had voted for a colored lawyer against a white man, who was a farmer, which uol. i tocnery aia noi deDy. Our people were delighted with Judge Fowle and I never saw a more attentive or enthusiastic audi ence. . He was frequently ap plauded and ! the Democratic partv in Person is aroused and more united than it has been in years. The Judge made a fine impression. As a 'debater he is without a superior in the State. He will carry Person by a handsome majority. Judge Fowle told tbe people that Col. Dock ery was electioneering for himself as a farmer at the expense of three mem bers of;his ticket who are lawyers. The Judge closed his speech amid vociferous applause, such as has not been heard in Person during thiB great campaign. After the Bpeaking was over, Judge Fowleat in front of.lhe Court House and shook hands with nearly every white man present. Judge Fowle is the great favorite in Person, and you may count oh him for 500 majority. Scbibo. Klot or 'L,ona;shronsi Strikers. By Telegraph to the Hews and Observer. Jacksonville, Fla , Sept 7.

He wishes to put upon record that in his humble opinion there are few better places in which to rest and have a good time, t'at citizens are whole souled and intelligent The town's churches and schools and other evidences of refinement and morality clearly indicate that Nashville is on the up grade. The building of the railroad from Rocky Mount has done much to im- Srove the business outlook and con ition of that section of tbe 1 county through which it runs and has given Nashville ft boom. A walk through the town with your eyes open will show a fine corps of business men and nice houses. I made a note of some of the principal ones. Among the merchants Messrs. Battle & Co. and Boddie, Ward & Co. take tbe lead. These gentlemen. do a general mercantile business which I was told was very extensive, and seeping pace with the progress of the town and county. Kicks Uros. and C. L Boddie 4 Bros, supply the town with confections. J. P. Arling ton, the mayor of the town, keeps a good livery stable. And by the way I saw more nice buggies and carriages in Nashville than in any -small town I have visited. The horses of the coun try are generally an index to the prosperity, etc , of the farmers of the country. Mr. W. H. Wood keeps a good hotel, at moderate charges. Drs. J. J. Mann, J. M. Earle, B. N. Culpep per, look after the health of the peo ple, while Revs. J. M. Willougnby, Baptist, and Betts, Methodist, are the exponents of religion. Maj Li. M. Oonyers is Superintendent of Public Instruction, and also vice President of the State Assembly of Superintendents. Mr. P. H. Pender is the versatile editor and publisher of the Nashville Courier. Mr. Thomas repairs watches, clocks, &o., and sup plies the community with fine jewelry at low prices. W. L. Thorpe, chair man of the county, executive commit tee, R. A. P. Cooley, and Ben. Taylor mate ail the money they can prac ticing law. They are popular and successful. Mr. J. G. Sills, Register of Deeds for the past six years, ib one of the most popular men in the county, and before this letter reaches you will have been probably nomi nated for the Senate Dr. T. T. Ross, a gentleman every inch of him, is Nashville s dentist He has a very large practice. Mr. V. B. Batchelor is the wealthiest man of his section,-they say. He has a magnificent estate just outside the town, and also a large business in town. He furnishes the whole coun try with lumber of all sorts from his large steam mill in town, and is also building lar brick stores, &c Tbe biggest thing in Nash county is the gold mines. I met Mr. Camp bell, the superintendent of the Mann- Arrington mine, and one of the own ers of the Oonyers mine. These mines are being successfully worked. A car-load of ore from the Conyers mine, shipped recently to New York, sold for $127 a ton. The impression among experts is that there is a great deal of undiscovered gold in old Nash. I spent one day at Philadelphia Church, where Revs. Duke and liar per were preaching to very large audiences. Here I met many of the best men of Nash county, whose names I wish I could mention i I desire to express my great appre ciation of kindness shown me by Mrs. Scott and her family, with whom I had the pleasure of sojourning for a few days. Cultivated, hospitable and kind, they know how to treat a visi tor. Long will I remember my pleas ant stay with them. Three cheers for Nashville !

Fowle arid Dockery arrived last night, the former by train-from Danville and Jjockery by buggy, from Yancey ville, with Mr. S. B. Adams, clerk of Caswell Superior Court The weather is wretched. There was a small crowd yesterday in Yanceyville. Big pre parations had been made here for re ceiving Judge Fowle by the Cleveland and Fowle Club. It was intended to have a parade with beautiful girls in floats, &o -, but overcoats and um brellas are ijn demand. The candi dates spoke; in Watt Bros.' Star Warehouse, beginning at 1:30 p. m. A good crowd was present for tbe weather, with some attendance from LeaksvUl, Ruffiu, Danville and other points. Judge Fowle was escorted in a carnatf e iirom tne noiei oy me ' i . I 1 . 1 , 1 1 Young Men'b Dmoccatio Club. Dook ery walked to the stand with Judge Settle. Dockery led off He pressed tbe Democrats sorely on failing to abolish tbe internal revenue and got tbe laugh on Vance s recent revenue speech as compared with his old grasr hopper speeches, asking between pauses, "Zeb, where are you?" But a fellow in the rear of the audience turned the shout against Dockery by singing out "Who put the revenue there? And who1 is! holding it there?" The Democrats cheered and- shouted Dockery was at home on the tariff, is in good trim; and impressed the audi ence as a forcible speaker. Fowle. alwavs oortlv and hand some, looks 'fully' himself, though little hoarael and he complained o: bis voice being bad.- He turned the revenue racket on Dockery by citing the Mills bill repealing tbe tobacco tax. The President was waiting to sign .it but! the Republican Senate stood, a bulJdoe in the way, "and that", said: he, squatting and point' mg one finger," is what is the matter with Hannah-" The point went home and the crowd cheered. He said Doy might, a$ well sit on the top ot hill and wait for the sky to fall to catch larks as to expect the Republican party to repeal the revenue lie gathered up the crowd with some o his anecdotes, particularly tbe little fat fioe Sandy, held by an old lady in Virginia to; keep the fice from biting Lee s army as it passed her house. Jfoe, ft colored t.x legislator from Caswell, asked J udge Fowle who was Recorder in the Distiict of Columbia. Fowle looked around and said: "Who was that ?"i Pointing to Poe he said "Fellow citizens, that's a negro. How are you, Handy xhe crowd fairly Jellel. Then he said if we had to ave negroes in office let' it be in Washington!, not here. Dockery said Democratic lawyers talked of cheap trace chains and half of them wouldn t know a trace-chain from a black snake if they were to meet both in the road. He said he stopped law because be could never; get to heaven. Fowle replied it was strange he wanted to send his son i'to the other place, for he told him the other day he was go ing to enter his Bon at law. It is fair to say both speakers held their own, and before a remarkably large crowd for the weather. If the day had been fair Heads ville would have swarmed with people, judge Fowle is at the hotel. Ool. Dockery stops with Mr. H. K. Reid, his kins man. Fowl t had the close and his peroration was splendid. He cap tured many by its. eloquence. The iteidsyille Comet Hand, in Cleveland beavers and full uniform, serenaded Fowle at the hotel, Our citizens are very much vlisippointed in not being able to give J uige Fowle an ovation worthy of the Rockingham county Democracy, but bad weather prevented. . , The Campaign at Vtoorosboro. .
