Conkling's absence from the joint session yesterday and to-day, and alsoBlaine'e, shows that there are at least two prominent Republicans who have some self-respect. TUUIl A under Chandler and Hoar, are busily errgaged to night in attempting to bring back Conkling . into the fold and keep Christiancy firm. The heaviest lobby is from New York, beaded by the notorious ex Collector Sheridan Sheek and John Ketchum, of the District of Colum bia ring. They particularly represent the defeated and disgraced Governor of New York (Morgan), who gave a check for $25,000 for Hayes. How much did he give Saturday for the purchase of Louisiana ? G. C. W. Richmond Whig Special. Washivctov. Feb. 21 12:30 A. M. The debate on the Louisiana ques tion in the House yesterday was ex ceedingly brilliant and animated. The speeches of Messrs. Ellis, Cox, Watterfaoase, Long, and Seelye are especially commended. The House of Representatives, as was to be ex pected, rejected the decision of the Commission. Only two Republicans had the decency to record their names against this infamous proceeding of the Returning Board. The probability is that Oregon will be reached to day, and I have an idea that it will be decided to-day. Nobody here expects anything fair or just from the tribunal of arbitra tion. The usual talk is that the eight Republicans have "checked their bag gage through" and will give every point to Hayes. From present indi cations the declaration of Hayes' election will be made by Saturday or Monday next. The report of Cabinet appoint ments by Hayes are giving him and his friends some trouble. A letter from Hayes was received here yester day stating that he had made no commitment in respect to his Cabi net, and intimating that owing to the short time between now and the 4tb of March, he would probably continue the present Cabinet for some time, or a part of them. It is, however, almost certain that Stanley Matthews, of Ohio, will be Attorney General. Evarls will be offered the portfolio of the State De partment. Key, of Tennessee, and Alcorn, of Mississippi, are confidently spoken of to-night for Cabinet posi tions. Bat it is asserted by the knowing ones that two Southern Democrats will be appointed if they can be indnoed to accept. This is not probable. Mr. Foster made a brief speech to day from manuscript, which is re garded by some as foreshadowing Hayes' present purposes. He said that Gov. Hayes was a citizen of his district, and though he did not pro fess to speak by authority, that he predicted that Hayes' Southern policy would be entirely different from what The VOL. XIX.--NO. 126. been heretofore panned, and such as would be entirely satisfactory to the southern people. Whether these declarations are made to expedite the electoral count or are to be followed up in executive aots remains to be seen. L. Q. W. February 2011:30 P. M. It is generally believed in political circles that it is Gov. Hayes' purpose either to recognize both NiohoUs and Hampton, or to allow the people of Louisiana and South Carolina to ad jnst their State governments for them selves. In the last case it is well un derstood that Packard and Chamber lain would quit the field. L. Q. W. Special to Richmond Dispatch. Washington, Feb. 20. HOW THE DEMOCRATS WERE DUPED. Mr. Cox commanded the attention of the House, as usual. He said, "Yes, there was a snare in it, and the Democrats had been caught." He voted for the bill in good faith, and when it was passed he knew that vir tue had gone out ef the House, but didn't see exactly where it had alight ed. The House had surrendered valued prerogatives, and now are al lowed to discuss a decision that is final, and to cast a sort of post-mortem vote. It is a melancholy satis faction that a day of reckoning will come to those who1 perpetrated this outrage of this decision. Mr. Cox held id his bands a large, old-fashioned Bible, from which he said he would quote something about iniquity, so that the other side of the House might reflect and repent. Be fore he could comfortably adjust his eye-glass the Speaker's hammer fell, and the House burst into a roar of laughter at Cox's discomfiture. He sat down, but rose again and com menced to read, when Keliey (Re publican) objected. Cox gave it up, remarking, "Oh ! the Bible is ali unde.1 Distriot-Atrorney Wells refused to prosecute Donn Piatt without a writ ten order from Taft. That was given, and the case laid before the grand jury, but it is thought they will not find a true bill. The Legislature. Raleigh Observer's report condensed. SENATE. Tuesday, Feb. 20, 1977.

The question now agitating the minds of many people about Raleigh is "who will be President of the Western N. C. Railroad ?" Raleigh is now rejoicing over some abundant and gratuitous perfume that fills the lively little town. It is guano per fume. Whew ! Southern Home'. Mr. John R. Morris, well known in Charlotte as the edi tor of the Tobacco Plant, is now in an In sane Asylum in Canada. The warehouse of Mr. B. F. Ellis, at Weldon, was broken into and rob bed of 3,000 pounds seed cotton and con siderable corn, says the Roanoke News. Referring to Lieutenant i Go vernor Jams the News says: He presides with great dignity and with entire satisfac tion to tbe Senate. As a parliamentarian, he has no superior in this State, and few equals. A Mr. Webb, of Linville River, recently killed a bear on tbe Grandfather Mountain which weighed net four hundred pounds. The hide was seven feet across the breast, and the fat was four inches thick on the top of his loins. Raleigh News : The committee of both bouses of the General Assembly to look out a location for an asylum for the colored insane of the State, baa left on its mission. The members will visit Tarboro, Wilson, Goldsboro' and perhaps other places. Roanoke News: John Jones, the burglar who was recently shot by Ed. W it kins, and on whose person the watch of Mr. J. C. Simmons was found, as heretofore reported in these columns, died in jail at Halifax on-Monday, from the effect of the amputation of the limb, mortification hay ing taken place. Oxford TorchligJU: On Satur day last the Board of Commissioners for this county, met at the courthouse, in Ox ford, and reeanvassed the vote of this eouaty enting Henderson township aa directed by the Supreme Court. The re sult was the election of J as. I. Moore for sheriff and the whole of the Democratic Board of Commissioners. The Monroe Enquirer says that a negro- named Richardson shot a yonng negro woman named Montgomery. Tbe ball entered about the centre of Abe left jaw and ranged up toward and a little in front of tbe ear. Wound not Considered dangerous. The supposition is that the negro was trying to kill his wife, who was in the house at the time. He is at large. The Charlotte Observer, of the 20th inst, contains an excellent letter from Col. Wm. Johnston, Mayor of that town, in reply to the gross slanders of the imposter Parsons who figured for a short time about Charlotte. The letter appeared in the .Liv erpool (Eng.) Mercury. Parsons is an Eng lishman, and claimed to be a representative of the seceding Good Templars in England. Monroe Enquirer: Bishop Bee be, colored, made an address tothecolored people of this place, in the Court House, on last Friday night, which was said to be, by those who heard him, full of advice of the right kind, and such as engender good feelings between the races, and to further the prosperity of that portion of the colored race who are trying to make something of themselves: The famous "Grove House" and tract at Halifax has changed hands. The Weldon News says: "This place has quite a history connected with it. The house was built by Mr. Willie Jones, whose family figures very prominently in the early his tory of North Carolina and was made the headquarters of the British army at the time of tbe occupation of Halifax by them. Many incidents of colonial times are related in connection with tbe family who were formerly possessors of it." Col. D. K. Mc Rae bad it for his headquarters whilst his regiment, the Fifth N. C, was encamped in the grove in the summer of 1863. It went from Halifax to Ball Ran. The Raleigh Sentinel gives an account of a horrible death that occurred in Johnston county: Mr. David Salmon was working near the house very early in the morning, when he was attracted by the house burning oh the top. He ran imme diately, and on entering the house, saw the bed, bedstead and covering in flames, and his wife lying by the bed completely burnt to death. What a sight for tbe poor hus band to behold! She did not have a par ticle of clothing on. Her ears, were charred ; one was burnt off. Her hair wad all burnt off, save one little lock on the side of her head. Her limbs were drawn up in a hor rible position too horrible to describe. She did not look like human, all blackened as she was. Her little baby, not three months old, was found lying on its face on the hearth, with its feet under the oven, in which she was cooking, and its clothes burnt off to its waist. It is supposed while she was cooking breakfast, her dress caught fire from the oven lid. and being much frightened, she dropped the baby on the hearth, and, probably ran to the bed. per haps thinking to quench the flames in the covering, and thus set it on fire. Tbe house being new, it burned but very little before it was put out. Appointments For quarterly meetings on the Wilming ton District of tbe Methodist E. Church South, as made by Rev. W. S.

Warmer, southerly winds, fall ing barometer and partly cloudy weather, are the indications for this section to-day. The work of improving Market street is steadily progressing, and there will soon be a splendid drive all the way to the turnpike. Rev. W- B. Wellons, of Suf folk, Ya., but well known in this city and throughout the State, is said to be at the point of death. We hear it. reported that the garrison at Smithville, under command of Col. Pennington, has been ordered to Washington, for which place they are to leave some time next week. Rev. Dr. Deems left on the 8 o'clock train last evening for Augusta, Ga. , where he goes to visit a daughter. While in Wilmington he was called upon by nu merous friends. A "Returning Board" is wanted for that Water street Nimrod, who says that he saw about seven hundred thousand ducks settle on a pond. They were wedged closely together. He fired both barrels of his gun into them. They flew away, leav ing no dead ones in the water; but, as soon as the flock spread out a little, dead docks loosened and fell until he picked up enough to fill twenty-nine barrels. "murder Will Out." Some time in the month of April last, now nearly a year ago, a colored shoema ker by the name of Jack Devane, had bis shoe shop in the Southern part of the city broken open and robbed of all bis tools, together with several pain of boots and shoes, belonging to other persons, having been left there for repairs, and for which he bad to pay. Devane, who was com pletely broken up for tbe lime bejng, could never obtain any clue to the missing arti cles until yesterday morning, when he sud denly and unexpectedly came upon them at the residence of "a colored man living in the neighborhood of the gas-house, who, when questioned as to how they came into his possession, said they were left at his house by a man named Wright Simmons. Upon receiving this intelligence Devane immediately repaired to tbe office of Jus tice Gardner, where he procured the ne cessary warrant for the arrest of Simmons on the charge of larceny. He was soon af ter taken and carried before the Magistrate named for preliminary examination, who, upon hearing the evidence, ordered the de fendant to enter into a justified bond in the sum of $100 for his appearance at tbe next term of the Superior Court. The Committee on Colored .miliary Asylum. Thejaommittee appointed by tbe Legis lature to select a site for the erection of an Asylum for the Colored Insane, arrived in this city yesterday at noon. The committee consists of Senator J. D. Standford, ef Duplin, and Representatives J. vV. Shackelford, of Onslow, and S. L. Johnston, of Washington. Yesterday afternoon the committee rode out and examined tbe Marine Hospital, and will to-day continue their observations, visiting among other places the old Fair f Grounds. The committee have already visited Tar boro, Wilson and Goldsboro. Finishing here to-morrow, they will leave for Raleigh to morrow evening, where they will definitely decide and report to the General Assem bly. We learn that at some of the places vis ited public' meetings were held, and we call upon our citizens to give the committee all the information possible. It would un doubtedly be an advantage to our city to have the Asylum located here, and it may be only necessary to point out tbe numer ous inducements which Wilmington pre sents in order to secure a report in our favor. S military Companies Action Looking to their Hetter Organisation. The Raleigh News says: The Adjutant General of tbe State is just in .receipt of a letter from Captain Matthew P. Taylor, of tbe Wilmington Light Infantry, advising him that at his (Capt. Taylor's) suggestion the various commandants of the white vol unteer companies in the State have agreed to meet in Raleigh, on the 23d inst, for the purpose of asking the aid and co-operation of tbe Adjutant-General, looking to a bet ter organization of our military companies and their proper and full equipment. It is proposed, among other things, to have an nual encampments in different sections of the State, and, at those times, to be ib spectedand reviewed by His Excellency the Governor and the Ad-jutant-General. Harboring Runaway The only case before the Mayor's Court yesterday morning was that of Swanzey Gusteff, a Swede, charged with assault and battery on the person of a sailor, whom he detained from his ship, and for which he was ordered to pay a fine of $50 and the costs. i The same defendant was arraigned on the charge of harboring runaway seamen, deserters from vessels in port, in which case he was ordered to give a justified bond in the sum of $500 for his appearance at the next term of the Superior Court. Wo are glad to see that some effort is at last being made to put a stop to the nefari ous practice of enticing seamen to desert their ships, and harboring them after they have so deserted. It is a crying evil, and one that is calculated to week to the seri ous injury of the port If there is no law on the statute books sufficiently stringent to protect our commercial interests in this particular, the Legislature should be appeal ed to for the necessary action in the matter. W athlngt o n's Birthday. To-day is tbe one hundred and forty-fifth anniversary of the birth of George Wash ington. It has been declared a legal holi day, and as such it will be observed by the various banks of this' city and the different public offices. In his day Washington, who was "first In war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen," was and has by succeed' ing generations been termed also tbe father of his country, but if by any spiritualistic manifestations he could be made to see the present condition of his offspring, whose fatherly care brought it safely through so many bitter struggles, toils and sufferings, tbe great heart of the wise statesman and Christian soldier would not only be filled with sorrow, indignation and shame, but be would doubtless be led to regret the part he took iu bringing it into existence. Unearthing Old Coin . The workmen engaged in excavating for the purpose of opening and repairing a sewer at the corner of Princess and Third streets, yesterday, dug up two old com. One is an English penny, badly worn and disfigured, and bearing date of 1780. The other is an Irish coin, having an one side the harp of rin, bordered with the inscrip tion "Hi bernia 1781," and on the re verse the profile of George III., with the inscription "Georgias HI., Rex." The coin were found several feet beneath the surface of the earth. Cnmnged Tbelr Programme Sadden Death. The Brogden Guards (colored military,) which were to have turned out to-day, un der command of their Colonel, Geo. L. Mabson, for parade and general inspection, have been compelled to change their pro gramme on account of the sadden death of Robert Walker, one of their members, which took place yesterday from some dis ease of the brain.

CoiratmpTiTKS Take Notice 1 Every moment of delay make your core more hopeless, and much depends on die judicious choice of a re medy. The amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck'a Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for Con sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to support the pretensions of any other medicine. See Dr. Scheack's Almanac, containing the certificates of many persons of the highest respectability, whe have been restored to health, after being pronounced incurable by physicians of acknowledged ability. Scheack's Pulmonic. Syrup alone has cured many, aa these evidences will show; bat tbe care is often promoted by the employment of two other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These additional remedies are Schenck' s Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, according to directions, Sr. Schenck cer tifies that most any case of Consumption may be cored. ' Or.
