The Senate -was principally occu pied yesterday with the consideration of Air. Chandler's resolution for an enquiry into the recent municipal election in Jackson, Miss., which was finally adopted by a strict party vote, except that Mr. Riddleberger voted with the Democrats, he stating that the resolution was intended to effect the nomination of Mr. Lamar, and he ave notice that he would vote for his confirmation. In the House the bill providing for the issue of cir culating notes to National banking associations was debated, and the Boutelle "battle flag" resolution, as amended by the committee on Mili tary Affairs, was reported and adop ted The nominations of Lamar, Vilas and Dickinson will not be taken up until Monday. Nothing new can be learned relative to the Reading Railroad strike; President Corbin is reported to hav said that there is nothing to submit to arbitra tion, and that the Company will maintain the position it has taken. The Chicago grain markets yes terday were almost featureless, and the chief interest centred in pro Tisions, which closed considerably above the first prices. The Uni versity troubles in Russia continue, iind it is stated that the professors are iiTfull sympathy with the students. A London dispatch reports a dense fog, which has stopped all navigation on the Mersey; several vessels have gone ashore, and numer ous fatalities have occurred. A cotton mill was burned in Philadelphia yesterday morning, in volving a loss of 75,000, and throwing one hundred hands out of employ ment; a $75,000 fire is also reported from Lowell, Mass. The Presi dent has sent to the Senate the nomi nation of Edward S. Bragg, of Wis consin, to be Minister to Mexico. A railway accident in New Mexico resulted in the fatal injury of three j ladies, and the slight injury of eight other persons. An earthquake shock yesterday morning is reported from various points in North Caro lina, South Carolina and Georgia, but no damage was done at any place. The worst storm of the season is prevalent in the Northwest, and .ex tends from the Rocky Mountains to Lake Mickigan. A shoming-t affair occurred yesterday in Annis ton, Ala., between two men, which resulted in both of them being killed.

The latest is that Russia is redu cing her war budget. But she ia moving divisions to the front all the s imp. Unless the Czar has got used to having his life plotted against he mast be a very miserable man. He ought to be either a saint or a devil. Talmage went to see Booth and Barrett-ia "Julms Caesar." T. De Witt wishes to learn a few new. ac tion. But does, he set a .good ex ample ? It ia said now that the Republican members of the House Committee on Elections will report faverably as to Carlisle's title to his seat. It ia a very clear case we suppose. .It is said in Washington thaton Saturday Mr. Carlisle will knock the entire bottom out of the Thoebe romance. The fiction will be com pletely destroyed, including the pre face and "the end." Even that tricky organ of Penn sylvania Protectionists, the Philadel phia Times, says now that a revi sion of the War Tariff this winter is assured. We hope 60, bat we fear it will bo a mere nibble and not "a glorious bite." Senator Voorhees has introduced a Natioual Bank bill that was drawn hy Mr. Trenholra, Comptroller of tbe Currency. It regulates that a majority of the directors must not be back officers, and they mast be 'Vorn to perform their duties. Georgia has five chairmanships in the ThU Iarylarjd has one chairmanship. 1 be Democrats are Rood to Georgia. Bal timore American, Hep. Georgia has the ablest Southern delegation in the House, It sends good men to Congress, who know something and have ability, and after they have "learnt the ropes" keep them there for awhile to get from them intelligent service. ' ITvir-ir ti , JLHE VOL. XLI. NO. 95. The Columbia Register has been better under the editorship of Mr. John P. Thomas than ever before. He understands the business, and we regret he has retired. He goes out because he wa9 not in harmony with the proprietor upon an issue involv ing principle. That is right and hon orable and manly. Oh, for more such editors in the South. Cob Thomas will not sacrifice doty and conscience at the bid of expediency. We have great respect for suoh a man and hope to see him soon using his fine abilities in behalf of right principle and genuine Democracy. There is much suffering m Wil mington among the poor. There is a good field for active benevolence. Rev. Mr. Hoge, we hear, reported to bis people a case of this kind he dis covered in his work among the poor. He found a family in great distress. The father was a cripple and could work but little; the mother was a paralytic; there were two daughters lying together both very sick of measles, and a brother dead in an other room for two days. The rich and well-to do have no idea of ihe misery near them. A stingy old fellow lost $400 on the New York Central train. The conductor found it and wired s. o. f . of tha fact. Here is what happened: "After the amount was handed over and found to be intact the losar tack a half dol- ar from his pocket and held it out to the veteran of the punch. Without hesitation the latter held up hia hand to the engineer and shouting 'All aboard! Sorry I havn't any change for that,' stepped aboard the train, leaving the half dollar in the hand that bad tendered such a munificent reward for the return of $400." His name ought to be passed around. Chaplain Milburn, of the House of Representatives, is 66 years old, and is said to be excellently preserved, mentally and physically. He is a delightful old man, and is a wonder- ui elocutionist and a speaker. He has a prescription for maintaining health and youth frequent bathing, plenty of exercise in the open air, slow, judicious eating, and avoidance of br meat. The Goldsboro Argus, that has a warm spot inits heart for Randall, says: "As foreahadonred by the papers that profess to lino, Randall's course will be very much aa it has been heretofore. He eeems in no way inclined to be dicta ted to by a caucus." If he is above caucuses he ought to take down his Democratic colors and quit masquerading as such. Oar Methodist friends will no doubt be glad to learn that their great publishing house at Nashville, Tenn., is at last out of debt. Now let the managers put up books in more attractive style like those of the great Northern private publish ing houses and sell them at greatly reduced rates. At the right price four tinvs as many books oan be sold. TIEl CITY. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Mum son Low prices. Collier & Co. Auction sale. Opera. House Mendelssohn Club. H. L.

A sharp shock of earthquake was felt in this city about ten minutes be fore ten o'clock yesterday morning. The movement was apparently from west to east, and its duration about two seconds. While it was sufficient to cause timbers in buildings to creak and chandeliers to sway in some in stances, many persons did not notice it, or if they did.ascribed its effects to other and less alarming causes. At Tileston school some of the children were very much alarmed. Many of them ran out of the building, and a few were so badly frightened that they did not stop running until they reached their homes. In a few mo ments, however, the alarm subsided and the children returnei to their class rooms. The shock was more severe at other places, and caused great alarm in Augusta, Savannah, Charleston and Columbia, A special dispatch to the Star from Charlotte says : "Two slight shocks of earthquake were felt here this morning the first at 9.54 o'clock, the second eight sec onds later. Signal officer Barry says tbe vibration "Was from north to south. The shock was greater in the western portion of the city. A mirror was sbaken-off a mantel at Mr. P. E. Linnll' house. No other damage is reported. Ptople are raited, now ver, fiaring another 1W dliMtOT." WILMINGTON, Local Dots.

Gentlemen from Charlotte, who are interested in the street railway in that city, were here yesterday with the purpose, it is said, of making arrangements for the con struction of the roads mentioned.

A Wormy City Enterprise. Some of our best advantages are the least appreciated.- This is em phatically true of the Wilmington Library Association ; with all the ad vantages it offers as a comfortable, well heated and well lighted reading room, quite a fine collection of excel lent books, the best assortment of magazines and leading newspapers, our city allows this noble enterprise too keep heavily on the shoulders of the Board of Directors, whe amid their many discouragements still try to rest up an interest in it, and to benefit our city through it as much as they can. It has been hard amid the many individual efforts of schools, lodges, churches, &c, to raise their needed money, to wecge in entertain ments or to make collections for the benefit of the Library. The calls for help have been so many that the directors have hesita ted to call upon the public at large for special support. Will not our cit izens rally anew to the support of this excellent institution and its noble work? Is there no citizen In all Wil mington who will donate $100. $50, $25, $10 or $5, to aid and encourage the di rectors and increase the advantages of the Library? We feel sure every member of the board of directors and the members of the association would rejoice if without their direct per sonal appeal some of our liberal hearted,, citizens would send in their money for this purpose. The directors are, Messrs. W. Calder, J. C. Chase, Dr. W. H. Green, Wm. Cam ming, Junius Davis, Rev. F. W. E. Peschau. The first entertainment they have arranged for some time will be given next Monday night January 16th, in their rooms on Market street. It will be a grand stereoptioon exhibition by Mr. E. V. Richards, of our city, who is the owner of a first-class stere opticon, and has- some of the finest pictures that are made. The low price of twenty-five cents for adults and ten cents for children is asked. Tickets are being put on sale all over the city. We trust that so many tickets will be sold that the hall will not hold the audience, and that the committee will be encouraged to give the entertainment in the Opera House. AJTe can assure our citizens that the entertainment will be well worth patronizing. Cap) Fear Tc Yadkin Valley. A number of the officials of the Cape Fear & Yalkin Valley Railway arrived here yesterday to confer with the commission appointed by the Board of Aldermen to arrange terms with the railroai company for the extension of the road to this city. A meeting was held during the forenoon in the office of the Mayor at the City Hall, but without transacting any business the conference adjourned to meet this afternoon at half-past three o'clock. The railroad company was repre sented at the meeting by Mr. Julius A. Gray, the President; Maj. H. T. Morehead, Mr. John D. Williams and Mr. J. A. Graves. The commissioners present were Col.W. L. DeRosset, Col. Roger Moore, and Messrs. B. G.Worth, J. H. Chadbourn aud B. F. Hall. Seriously Iojored. , A middle-aged man, apparently a farmer, and whose name is supposed to be L. Fining, from papers found on his person, was seriously, if not fa tally injured at Wadesboro Wednes day night, in attempting to leave the train on the Carolina Central rail road after it was in motion. As the train was pulling out from the depot, the man jumped and in falling struck the depot platform. His right leg was broken, and it is supposed he suf fered severe internal injuries, as when found he was bleeding profusely from the mouth and was unable to speak. Conductor Welch stopped the train and had the man removed to the depot and left in charge of the agent, who at once summoned a phy sician to attend him. Fining got on the train at Charlotte. St. Paul's Cborcb Entertainment. The entertainment given last night at Col. Roger Moore's residence, for the benefit of St. Paul's- Episcopal Church, was heartily enjoyed by all present. An abundance of refresh ments, in great variety, were served by the ladies. The literary and mu sical parts of the entertainment af forded much pleasure. Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Manning rendered some fine vocal selections, and recitations were given by Miss Josie Myers and Rev. and Mrs. Arnold. fiallroad Disaster Near Hickory. The accident oh the Chester & Lenoir narrow gauge railroad, men tioned in the Star yesterday, was a serious one. A passenger train of three cars went through a trestle one mile north of Hickory.
