In the Senate yesterday Mr. Ed jnunds moved that the names of Sena tors who answered to the roll call shoul l bo inserted In the Journal; there was much objection to this, as unprece dented, and the motion was rejected ; ilr. Kkiir offered a resolution providing for tho incorporation of the previous qm'stiiMi in the rules, and wanted itsim modi ttc consideration, but it went over u,uil to-day; the tariff bill was then t.ikon up for consideration, and the de-h.iti- was of quite an interesting charac ter. amendments offered by Demo unts was. as heretofore, rejected, and ,.iiiv such as came from the Repubii i .ui sido were adopted; an incident ot tin- consideration of the bill was that Mr. Plumb was found voting with the Democrats, the first break in the solid party vote ; in the House the Senate amendments to the sundry civil appropriation bill was taken up for consideration, but the ab scnee of a quorum prevented any pro gress being made. The Republican majority in the House are much trou bled ner the large number of absen tees, and the list is daily growing larger, while the Democrats look upon it with a reeling of equanimity; and notice has beer, given by Mr. Cannon that lie will oiier at the earliest opportunity, a reso lution revoking all leaves of absence except those granted from sickness. President Celman, of the Argentine Republic, has issued a manifesto rela tive to the recent events in the capital ; iie ignores the gravity of the situation, and his own party are aghast at his cal lousness and the vanity which he ex hibits in his production. The House election committee made an effort yes terday to further consider the Clayton Breckinridge contested election case, but could do nothing on account of the ab sence of a quorum; it is stated that a re port has been prepared, declaring that Mr. Breckinridge was not legally elect ed and is not entitled to his seat, p, Gen. Rivas, who headed the revolt against San Salvador, has been defeat ed, after capturing the artillery barracks, and peace has been restored; Guatemala has withdrawn her forces from the fron tier, and alf is quiet at present.

The Republican majority in the House of Representatives so-called -is evidently not looking for inves 'igutii.ns these days. It is not "dig jiified" to be investigated. A Paris surgeon has- cured idiocy in a child by boring into its head. If some artesian well borer could be prevailed upon to go to Washington and operate on the heads of the bosses who are running this Congress he might improve their sense. San Diego, Cal., is a good town to start newspapers in. In the last three years eighteen have been start ed there. But it is a good town. to bury them, too, for every one of them is dead. There are lots of 'jood places to start newspapers. Senator Plumb, of Kansas, is not an enthusiast over protection, but he believes that a State which does so much to lubricate the "inards" of humanity as his State does is en titled to all the protection she can ?et on her castor oil beans. ()ne of the best jokes of the warm season is to see the Reed gang, with boss Reed sitting down with his two hundred and thirty pounds of flesh, glrled around the middle with a silk ssh, on a proposition to be investi gated, taking refuge in their "digni ly " They don't propose that the Senate shall have a monopoly of the dignity." -f T- .? 1- VOL. XLVI.-NO. 113. A Mr. Ballou, of New York, be came so indignant at some druggist who showed in his windows a carica ture of Mr. Harrison, that he wrote to the U. S. Attorney General to find out if there wasn't some law un der which this naughty druggist could be, restrained and punished, and was grieved, alas, to find there was none. Since then Mr. B. is be ing urged by his friends to apply f6r a consulship. Such devotion to our distinguished President would doubt less meet with due recognition. Mr. Struble may not regard Boss Reed as a "nuisance," as Mr. Houk did Mr. Cannon, but he did regard him as a very discourteous . and re lentless bulldozer. It is somewhat remarkable that Mr. Cannon did not suggest a conference between Mr Struble and the Speaker, and a mu tual understanding by which this candid expression of Iowa opin ion might have been suppressed from appearing in the Journal. Colored servants and employes are not in good odor about the White House. After Mr. Harrison came in he got rid of the colored cooks, ser vants, &c, as fast as they could be replaced by white ones, and the job was finished recently by bouncing the colored coachman who has been in the service since appointed by Gen. Grant. He has been slowed away in a place in one of the depart ments. The Chicago Tribune, Republican, is very much mortified at the course of Commissioner of Pensions, Raum, for the "unrebuked appearance of his son as a pension agent." The old man is probably a silent senior partner, and why should he be ex pected to rebuke the junior partner? The Tribune don't seem to under stand what the pension office is run for these days. Count Tolstoi thinks that books should only be published after the death of their authors. This would relieve the world of a good deal of trash, for it is safe to say that much of it, if not published during the life time of the author, never would be published, and it would at the same time save the reputation of a good many authors. Hon. Leonard Rhone, master of the Pennsylvania Grange, has issued a circular urging the grangers to support ex-Gov. Pattison, the Dem ocratic nominee for Governor, the friend and protector of the rights ot the people, against Delamater, who when m the Legislature, in violation of his promises, betrayed them. Judge Armfield has been re-nominated in the Eighth District. The vote was 162 for Armfield, and 102 for Robbins. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Hall & Pearsall Coffee. Star Office Babbitt metal.

N, C.i, SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1890. SERIOUS AFFRAY IN GREENSBORO Between Two Young Painters Said to be Prom Wamlngon One Man Fatally Hurt. ' The Greensboro Times gives an ac count of a fight in that town last Thurs day between two young painters Tom Pleasants and Jos. James who came to Greensboro from Wilmington a short time ago Pleasants inflicting wounds upon James from which it is probable the latter will die. The quarrel, was over a board bill. James becoming exasperated at some remark made by ; Pleasants, seized a piece of scantling and struck him a murderous blow, knocking him down. As Pleas ants got up he drew a barlow knife and rushing upon James began cutting him to pieces. ; One thrust of the knife en tered the chest and penetrated the lung. Numerous wounds were inflicted on the sides and abdomen. After the cutting Pleasants walked up street and told officer Whittington that he had cut a man badly, in self-defence, and wanted to surrender him self after the man had been attended to. Whittington went to see after the wounded man and Pleasants walked around to the Mayor's office and waited until he returned. He was lodged in jail. Pleasants says that as he arose after being knocked down with the piece of scantling, James rushed upon him with a drawn knife and inflicted an ugly cut on his hand. He shows a wound on the hand, and his head and arm are badly bruised where James hit him. Y. M. C. ASSOCIATION. A Buildine for the Young Men A Uot on the Corner of Front and Mulberry Purchased for the Site. The Board of Directors of the Young Men's Christian Association held a special-meeting yesterday afternoon to consider a proposition from Messrs. Hall & Pearsall, to sell to the Associa tion the lot on the corner of Front and Mulberry streets, extending on Mulber ry to Nutt street, recently purchased by the firm. Upon the recommendation of a special committee of the Board ap pointed some time ago to investigate and report upon the matter, it was de cided to purchase the lot, and commit tees were appointed one to make the purchase and the other to secure plans for the building which the Association proposes to erect. The general idea is for a large and handsome building with frontage on Nutt and Front streets; the lower floors to be rented for business purposes and the upper part of the build ing to be for the use of the Association. COTTON REGION BULLETIN. Higher Temperature and Light Showers. Showers were general yesterday throughout the South Atlantic States, with the exception of the Wilmington, Charleston and Augusta districts, in which not a trace of rainfall was re ported. High temperature prevailed generally, but the maximum in Wil mington was only 87 degrees as recorded at the Signal Office, with a pleasant breeze all day from the southwest that made the weather enjoyable. Higher temperature prevailed at other stations in the district; Charlotte and Raleigh" reported 92 degrees as the maximum, Lumberton, Weldon and Goldsboro 94. and Cheraw 96. The discontinuance of the rainy spell and the return of hot weather just at this time is greatly to the advantage of the cotton crop. SEVENTH DISTRICT.

Great interest and much excitement have been created in this community growing out of the recent murder of Nathan Fails. On da before yesterday an adjourned examination of the facts found to be connected with the homi cide was concluded before R. H. Bunt ing, Esq., and the judgment of the Mag istrate's Court was to the effect that the prisoner Charles Maynor be held for the action of the grand jury at the next term of the Criminal Court, and that in the meantime he be committed to prison without bail until then. The facts connected with the homi cide have been brought to light, after a patient, quiet, and (as such investigat ions should be conducted) as secretly as possible. The public did not know what was going on, and every movement was carefully kept from publication in the newspapers or otherwise, so that the witnesses themselves, nor eyen the offi cers engaged in the investigation, did not come to the knowledge of what each other knew, until the chain of circum stances was put together before the com mitting magistrate. These proceedings were .set on foot by Solicitor Moore eight hours after the homicide was made known. The Sheriff's officers under the direction of Mr. Shaw, aided by a detective from a Northern city, have quietly and persis tently worked the case up under the general direction of the Solicitor, until the result above mentioned has been ac complished. The murderer of Nathan Fails is known; he is in prison and the neces sary evidence to convict him of the crime is in the possession of the proper officer who will not disclose it until the proper times arrives. This may be stated, however, that the leaden missile that killed Nathan Fails was not such a pistol ball as is known as a thirty -two calibre. . RANGE OF THE THERMOMETER.
