ELECTORAL VOTE A QUESTION OF

Br Telegraph to the Morning Stir.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Washxngtox, December 7. A call of
the House having been concluded without
the presentation of any reports, Mr. Bick
nell called up. as a question of privilege, the
Senate resolution relative to counting the
electoral vote.
Mr. Keifer raised the point of order that
the resoultion did not present a question of
privilege. r- u
Debate ensued, in which Messrs. isics
nell and Springer maintained that what
ever related to the constitutional right of
the two Houses to declare the electoral
vote was a question of privilege.
After some further debate, the Speaker
said that the uniform practice certainly
the recent practice goes to the extent of
avowing that the two Houses do count and
have counted the electoral vote. If the
Chair were to refuse on technicalities to al
bw an adjustment between the two House
as to the government of the Houses when in
joint session, it might lead to confusion,
chaos and perhaps commotion. In the
opinion of th9 Chair it makes no differ
ence by whom the votes are counted. If
done by the two Houses it is the highest
duty they have to perform; if done by any
other person it must be done in the pre
Bene of the two Houses; so that any rule
relating to a joint meeting is a question of
the very highest privilege, and he must so
rule.
Mr. Bicknell then demanded the previ
ous question, and the Democrats refusing
to allow the Republicans unlimited time
for debate, the latter filibustered to pre
vent action. J?or a time it seemed as it the
House wouldf come to a dead-lock, but Mr.
Bicknell finally withdrew his demand for
the previous question and Mr. Keifer de
livered a written argument against the
pending measure, whieh he characterized
as a mgaame of usurpation and fraud, and
one which might lead to bloodshed and
war. At the conclusion of his speech the
subject went over for the present and the
House adjourned.

LOSD3N, December 7. A dispatch from
Dublin to the limes says: "A Dublin gen
tleman who has aGres of laud on the bor
ders of this county, has received a letter
warning him that he must join the League
before Saturday or take the consequences.
Toe most recent development in Boycotting
is in the country towns, where shopkeepers
and even peddlejaare required to produce
tickets showingthat they are members of
the League or they will not be allowed to
buy or sell. Even Orangemen in some
places are obliged to join the League
rather than lose their business, property or
lives. The organization becomes daily
more perfect in its details. The accumla
uoq ot arms in the country is regarded
with much apprehension. One house here
supplies 240 revolvers weekly to different
parts of the country.
Mr. Parnell received two threatening
letters during his stay in Waierford, one of
which accuses him of destroying the coun

The proprietor of the Sligo Cliampion ha3

Ex-Queen Isabella has ordered her

Paris, December 7. It is seml-officially
ated-that the reports that Greece has con
sented to renew direct negotiations with
Turkey are incorrect. It is also stated
that the Powers have commenced an inter
change of views on the Greek question,
and will probably endeavor to obtain for
mal engagements from both countries not
to resort to arms, but to rely on the diplo
macy of Europe to effect an equitable com
promise. The death is announced of Gen. lieffye,
the inventor of the mitrailleuse.
John Clare Sewell Read, who went to
America recently to inquire into American
agriculture, in addressing a farmers' club
id London, said he would not fear Ameri
can competition in wheat twenty-five
years hence, as an exhaustion of the land
would ensue in that lime, and the cost of
production would increase; but in regard
to beef there were serious prospects of
competition from the vast herds of cattle
in the far West. Mr. Read said he deemed
it likely that the American .nation would
become the greatest in the world.
NEW YORK.
FAILURE OF A HOUSE IN THE COFFEE
TRADE WITH LARGE LIABILITIES
SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE PANAMA
CANAL.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, Dec. 7. B. G. Arnold &
Co., of 125 Front street, the largest dealers
in coffee and teas in this city, and probably
in this country, made an assignment to -day
to J. Lawrence McKeever, of 128 Front
street. The suspension, it is believed, was
caused by shrinkage in values of coffees
andjeas, of which the house carried a
heavy stock. The liabilities are estimated
at upwards of one million dollars. Re
ports are current that they will be able to
settle their obligations in full.
Subscription books of the Panama Canal
Co. were opened to day at the offices of
the several bonkers in this city. Subscrip
tions were reported as coming in rapidly,
but for the most part in small quantitiep.

Carthage, Mo., says a Bevere cyclone passed
over that section Saturday evening, de
molishing a large number of buildings and
resulting in some loss of life. A farmer
named Quimby and two daughters of ,Mr.

Boston Boor, Sboe and Leather mar
ket. Commercial Bulletin, Dec. 4.1
The tone of trade is, if anything, a trifle
less buoyant to-day than three weeks ago.
But the general outlook is promising, and
any tendency toward an advance in leather
would bring to the manufacturers a flood
of orders for boots nd shoes. The leather
market is moderately active and sieady.
Buyers are still taking all seasonable grades
with as much freedom as their present re
quirements will admit of. The week's sales
of sole leather, and of buff, grain, goat, kid,
calf and sheepskins, will foot up a fair ag
gregate; but there is no speculation, and
but little present tendency toward higher
prices.

Raleigh News-Observer: Judge
Hugh L. Bond is in the city, having ar
rived yesterday, and will sit with Judge
Brooks at the Federal court this week and
next. About fifty plans are proposed
in regard to the paving of the Btreets.
Only one thing is needed to make several
of them feasible, and that is money.
During the month of November last there
were iu this city and township, with a pop
ulation or 14,500, 22 deaths. Of this num
ber 8 were white and 14 colored; 11 were
males and 11 females; 12 infants and 10
adults. Mr. Stephen G. Worth, of
the Slate Fish Commission, arrived here
yesterday with a quantity of German carp.
There are for distribution in this section of
the State. Six hundred and fifty of them wete
placed in Taylor's pond, whence they will
be taken as needed- Deputy Collect
or Waller D. Moore, on Friday captured
an illicit distillery- at Lipscomb's Mill,
Orange county, seven miles from Durham.
About half a dczen complaints have
been made of intimidation, etc., in this
district, but in nons of these cases have
any bills been drawn for the grand jury of
the Federal Court. The cases of com
plaints appear to be from several of tbo
surrounding counties. None of them ap
pear to amount to much. At the
present term of the Circuit Court the num
ber of whiskey and tobacco cases is more
than one hundred. Granville leads in
the number of these, and Wake, Harnett,
Johnston and Hertford follow. There are
an unusual number of cases for counter
feiting, no less than six cases being under
consideration. Most of the coins counter
feited were nickel, half-dollars and dollars.
Quarters were counterfeited in only one
case.
