The American people at large has agreed to recard the exploits fof the great civil war aa a common national treasure. The portentous scale on Jhich Federals and Confederates ere willing to lavish life and pro perty in support of their respective views i has grown to bs a point of pride for all, though the sacrifices were made for mutually contradic tory object The antagonists1 might have been players in a cricket or football match, to judge by "the cheerfulness with which they j sever ally look back to a fury of warfare such as the modern world cannot par allel.. In tho last twenty-five years the American people must aa ai whole jave learnt the art of training itself it an extraordinary sweetness of dis position, which it is no offence to say that individuals of the raca do not invariably exhibit.

This, which should have beenl universally recognized as meri torious, has been by many of his partisan opponents set down against him aa an offence. His motives are impugned, his conduct misrepresent ed and he is held up to the! con- : tamely of all those who have fought their country's battles as one who is indifferent to their valor, unappra- ciative of their services, opposed to conceding them the reward which is lastly theirs. State Association of Democratic Clubs. At a meeting of the delegates ire- presenting the Democratic clubsi of North Carolina, at the National Con vention lately held in Baltimore', it was deemed advisable to call a con vention of the Democratic clubs of the State for the purpose of formic a State Association, and the under signed members for North Carolina of the General Committee of j the National Association, were instruc ted to call such convention and to nx tne time ana place tor noiding the same. - This committee therefore invites every Democratic club formed, 'lor to be formed in the State, to send dele gates to a convention to be held at Morehead City, N. C, on Wednes day the 15th dav of August, 1888. To provide for the gathering of delegates, and to form a basis; of organization until otherwise ordered by the Convention, the following provisions have been adopted: Each club shall be entitled to five delegates. Clubs of over one hun dred members to be entitled to ! one additional delegate for each hundred or fraction over fifty.

An Artful Dodge- Rockingham Rocket. We see it stated that Col. Dockery said in bis Bpeech at .Nashville, N. C, on the 4th of July, that if Cant. Alexander had been nominated for Governor on the Democratic ticket, he (Dockery) would not have ac cepted the Republican nomination, In other words, he would not jhave opposed his brother member of the Alliance; therefore the Alliance is un obligations to him. This is not the first time Dockery has madd this assertion- and in a quiet way he is en deavoring to secure the farmer vote ' tbrono-h hia connection with the Alh- Wo ni-Aframe we are breaking no faith (we have heard it froni two. nr three Hnnraes. reliable ones tOO,) in stating that a member of the Pee Dee Alliance of which Dockery is a member was recentlv arraigned De- fore his alliance on the charge of at- tflmntincr to prostitute the order ior political purposes, the specific charge bemflr that he was trying to aid Dock- ery through the Alliance. On this oocasion Dockery made the statement that he would not have opposed Alex ander, but disclaimed any intention or purpose of trying, to further his own political interests by ieason of his connection with it. If Colonel Dockery was sinoere in hi9 statement he would not take ad vantage of every occasion to make tho reference to Capt. Alexander which is attributed to htm. Anybody can see mat nis purpose is to maae the impression that, Alexander being a member of the Alliance, he would rot have opposed him and thus divi ded the farmer vote (how magnani mous!) but, Alexander not being a candidate, it is the duty of the farm ers to vote for Dockery. We ask, is it honest in Col. Dockery to thus prostitute the organization in Viola lation of its expressed wishes and its constitution? Does he for a moment suppose that the sturdy yeomanry of the land will depart from tneir nxea principles, will place in jeopardy the good government of . tbe State to simply further his personal ends? If so, npon what does be base tug claims? He was not placed in nom ination by a body of farmers; on the contrary, his nomination was given him by a convention composed of a small number of white politi cians and a large number of negro dupes and "heelers." lis there any- thing in tne manner or nis Dringing out to commend him to the farmers? Is there anything in the man himself which should give him special claims upon the tillers of the sour. II RLIGIO US MISCELLANY.

Instead of tear fully pleading with them and showing our interest in thtirsoule, we reprove them for their hardness of heart, and scold them be cause they do not "seek religion." What wonder if such efforts are unavailing, and diicouraged we give up personal effort and set off and look our reproofs out at them for their stubbornness. Let us come j to them as sinner?, making them feel we claim nothing only as Gods grace has given it to us. Raleigh Recorder, Baptist. j The Methodists provide minis ters for the churches, and then they pro vide churches for the ministers. It is part of their wonderful system that no one is idle at any season of the year, and that no church is'without a head. This is not ac complished without a great sacrifice of lib erty acd permanency on the part of both ministers and churches. Thus far these sac rifices have blessed greatly. No Church in the New World has a more glorious record.,' It is not at alia mere Conquest of num bers. It has I been a splendid victory among the masses of the people over the world, the flesh, acd the Devil. These Methodist millions form the advance guard of the nation in every department of moral effort tr reform. Now it is impossible to tell how much their triumph has been aid ed by this one feature of their system the uaivtrjal appointment and employment of their ministry, j They have had many other great qualifications for their work. But we cau not resist the impression that their work has been immensely facilitated by this comprehensive economy of means.

The Senate, after the passage of several bills upon the -calendar of minor interest, took up and passed the House bill supplementary to tne Pacinc Railroad acts (with amsndments.) This is the bill passed by the House on the 3rd ot March, requiring Paciflo Railroad Companies to construct, maintain and operate telegraph lines and to afford equal facilities to all connecting telegraph lines. The amendments merely strike out the word "construct" wherever it occurs , : Mr. Chandler modified the resolution offered by bim on the 12th of June, direct ing inquiries into the election of Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, 1 and on motion of Mr. Blackburn, tbe credentials were taken from the table and placed on file. The resolution was laid on the table, and the Senate then at 2 p. m. went into execu tive session. The doors were reopened at 5.30 and the Senate adjourned. The Senate in secret session to-day spent three hours considering I the nomination of Samuel J. Bigelow, to be district attorney of New Jersey, j Senators Edmunds, Evarts and others opposed the confirma tion vigorously, and it jwas rejected by a large majority, j The Fuller case comes up to-morrow as the unfinished business) of the secret session. I ' HOUSE OP RERRE3ENT ATI VES . On motion of Mr. ! Dibble, of South Carolina, Senate amendments were con curred in to House bill authorizing con demnation j of land for 'sites for public buildings. I j ! Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri, asked unani mous cconsent that Tuesday, July 31st, be set apart for the consideration of bills re ported from the Committee on Labor. Mr. Oates. of Alabama, said he would object unless it was agreed that tbe bill prohibiting the transportation of convict made goods from one State to another shall not be called up. j ! Mr. O'Neill declined to be fooled in this manner, and withdrawing his request offered a resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Rules, assigning the 31st of July for the consideration of labor bills. Tbe House then went into Committee of the Whole (Mr. Spiiager in the chsir), on the tariff bill, the pendiag i amendment be ing that offered by Mr, Mills; of Texas, restoring the present rates of duty on tobacco. I ! I Mr. LaFollette, of Wisconsin, thought the motion mad 3 by Mr. Mills was not actuated by any sympathy for the domestic tobacco industry. The amendment was offered not because of ! any consideration for the industry, or because the farmers wanted protection, but because the amend ment was necessary to help the Democratic party to carry Connecticut Mr Baker, of Illinois, made a brief ar gument against the bill in its entirety, declaring that the question involved was whether the industrial peoplo of America should bo placed on a higher or a lower plane. j ' I 1 Air. Mills' amenameni was men agreeu to without division. I i On motion of Mr., Spinola. of Aew York, the present rate of duty was restored on pipes, pipe bowl?, and an smosers articles not otherwise provided for. I The next Darazraon taxen up for consid eration was that imposing a duty of 30 per cent, ad valorem on bonnets, bats, and hoods, composed of hair, whalebone, or any other vegetable materia). 1 Mr. Lehlback, of New Jersey, moved to increase the duty to pU per cent , stating that be did to in tbe interest 'and at the re quest of the hatters of bis district. The motion was lost yeas, ii nays, at. Mr. Lehlbach then offered an amendment fixing the rate of duty on pearl buttons at four cents per line per gross, English meas urement. Many of the pearl buttons, he said, .imported. into this country, eatno from Austria, where j they were one of the products of convict labor. If tho rate of duty was not increased the domes tic pearl button industry would be wiped out. . 'IS!-' The amendment was rejected 67 to S3. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, having called Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, to the chair.ad- dressed the committee in regard to the bill. He stated for the inform atioo of membeis that twenty-tbreo day I and eight evening sessions had been consumed in general de bate, one nunarea ana; nrcy-one speecues having been made, i The debate under the five-minute rule bad consumed up to to day twenty-eight days or one hundred and twenty hours. The debate would be re membered as the most! remarkable which had ever occurred in parliamentary history. It had awakened a lively interest not only in our own country, ibut throughout the civilized world, and henceforth, as long as our government should endure; it would be known as the great tariff debate of 1888. He then proceeded to argue in support of the free wool feature of the bill. Pa 83 this bill, he said, and a new ere of industrial prosperity would dawn upon us. FactO' ries would spring up in the States of tbe south and West, and in the Territories. Those already in existence in all parts of tbe country would run on full time and increase their plant from year to year. In stead of importing into this country forty milliou dollars worth of woollen goods, as was done in 1887, we Would soon be able to supply the borne market with woollen goods and export i immense quantities to other nations. Pass this bill, let it become the law of the land, and it would result in good to all; people would be better fed, better clothed and would live in better bouses and sleep in better beds. In after years, when the lull measures of its count less blessings should have been realized. generations then Hiving, and those which might come after them, would rise up and invoke the blessings of : Providence upon these who originated it, and upon those wno gave to it .tne force and power of law I Applause. 1 i ) I I Mr. Dingley. of Maine, argued that where imported articles come into competition with articles produced in this country the consumer did not! pay the tax. He ridi culed Mr. Springer's j arguments and de clared that the tariff on wool and woollens bad stimulated the manufacture of woollen goods and bad held tbe ! home market for our producers. The j temporary effect of putting wool on the free list might be to depreciate the price of Woollen goods to the extent of the reduction of iutv. but when home manufacturers iwere destroyed then the price would again rise, and ultimately me consumer would nave to pay more than at present. He then proceeded in a general way to denounce me Mills bill as slaueh tering every farming interest in the North, wnne leaving a uuty or os per cent, on su gar and 100 per cent. On rice. Mr. Lutterworth, of Ohio, said that on Saturday next a vote would be taken on the bill. It would pass the House against tne protest or every Republican representa tive, with one or two ! exceptions. It would receive the support of every Democrat in the nouse, wim very rew exceptions. He de sired to call attention; to the fact that no industry to be affected by this measure had been accorded ;a hearing; that no wonting man whose wages would be af. fected by the reduction had been vouch safed a bearing; that no interest affected by the bill lhad been accorded an audience. The bill had hnm iramea ana passed Without consultation with those who represented the vast and growing interests of the country. It was not pretenaea that this so-called revision of th tariff had been made except from tbe stand point or tnose wno favored a tariff .for re venue oniy, wnich was another name for free trade. So far from stonninc the in crease of the surplus; importations would be increased under the ; operations of the Mills bill: In November next people would set in judgment on the position occupied by each side of tbe House. If it was tbe aesire or people that the tariff chnnlri ho reduced from the stand-point of Protecting the industries of the country, they wouid transfer the majority from the Democratic to ine republican side of the House. Tf it was their purpose to strike down the great luuuovKBsoi tne country, iney would retain the majority on other side of the central aisie. 'ine bill would be passed on Satur day. and would then eo to the Senntn There, he trusted, it would be referred to a committee which would sit during the hol idays in order that the great interests which were to be affected by the measure might be heard; in order that the tariff might be revised in the light of experience; and in order that on its assembling in December Congress might respond to tbe judgment of tbe people as shown by their votes in No- veuiuer. i After a short and sharp exchange of cour-1 tesies between Mr. Reed and Mr. 8pringsr, tbe discussion and consideration of tbe bill in Committee of the Whole closed, and up on motion of Mr. Mills it was reported to the House with favorable recommendation amid hearty applause from the Democrats. Its further consideration was then post poned until 11:30 Saturday morning. . - ' Mr. utbbie, or soutn uaroiina, as a ques tion of privilege, called up the Allentown public building bill, and the President's veto message.' The report of tbe commit tee was' read, recommending, that tbe bill be passed notwithstanding the veto. Tbe House refused to pass the bill over the veto yeas, 141; nays, 84; not the ne cessary two-thirds vote in the affirmative. Tbe House then, at 4;2U, took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be for the consideration of bills reported from the Committee on Military Affairs. SENATE. Washington. July 20. House bill mak ing 30th of May (Decoration day) a holiday in the District of Columbia, was passed. The Naval Appropriation bill was re ported and placed on the calendar. Mr. Cullom offered a resolution, which was agreed to. instructing the Post Office Committee to inquire into the expediency of allowing tbe article known as the postal tablet or private postal card, (weight not to exceed half ounce), to pass through the mails at a postage rate of one cent. The Senate closed its doors at 12 30. ana proceeded to the formal consideration of the Fuller case. At 1 o'clock the upper lobbies and committee rooms were cleared, ' and thc.occupants were driven down stairs, so that the doors and windows might be opened without risking a betrayal of the secret proceedings. After the doors were opened Mr. Sher man gave notice that he Would ask the Senate to resume ; consideration of the fisheries treaty to-morrow. Mr. Chandler thereupon offered tbe fol lowing resolution, Which was laid over: "Resolved. Thatr the power to mite treaties and to appoint all . high public officers of tbe United States btiog vested in the President and Senate jointly, the presi dent has no right, under bis implied power of making preliminary negotiations of treali28, to appoint, without concurrence oi the Senate, private citizens as plenipoten tiaries, to make anp sign such treaties in behalf, of the United states, ana mat tbe recent appointment by the Pretiient wi'.h out the consent of the Senate, of James B. Angell and Wm. L Putnam, as special plenipotentiaries to make aud sign the pro posed tiihery treaty with Great Britain, dated February 15, 1888. was unwarranted by the Constitution." Mr. Uolpn called up the Din io proniuu the coming of Chinese laborer into the United States. The bill was discussed by Messrs. Dolpb. Mitchell and Morgim until 5 05, when without reaching a vote the Senate adjourned until to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The first business before tbe House this morpiog was thej bill coming over from last night's sessiob. appropriating $250,000 to aid State Homes for disabled volunteers. Mr. Kileore. of I Texas, moved to amend by reducing the approyriation to $100,000. After a somewhat heated debate. Mr. Kilgcro's amendment was rejected, and the bill (which was a Senate bill) was passed. Mr. Blanchard submitted a conference report on the River and Harbor bill, and Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, demanded the yeas and nays on agreeing to the report, but the demand was refused. Mr. Weaver moved to reconsider the vote by which the Hou:.e had refused to order the yeas and nays, but this motion was ta bled by a vote of yeas 174. nays 74. The report was then agreed to 154 to 44. Bills coming over rom last night's ses sion were passed for tbe retirement of General Wm. F. (Baldy) Smith and A. J. Smith, with the rank of Colonel and Gene ral; W. W. Averill with the rank of Cap tain, 1 .' Tbe House then went into committee of the Whole on the private calendar, and tbe entire afttr joon was spent in the conside ration of the bill for the relief of Samuel Noble claim fcr reimbursement for loss of 802 bales of cotton. The motion to strike out the enacting clause resulted ayes 61, nays 20. But Mr. Oats, of Ala bama, made the point of no quorum. The committee rose and tho House at 4 30 o'clock took a recess until 8 o'clock tbe evening sessiob to be for tbe considera tion of private pension bills. SENATE. Washington. July 21 The Senate took up the Senate bill appropriating one mil lion dollars to reimburse the depositors of the Freed man's Savings and Trust Compa ny for losses incurred by tbe failure of that Company. Mr. ISdmuods moved to striko out the words, "in whole or in part of African de scent. He desired to get rid of the race question. Mr. Ueck opposed the amendment. The words, he said, bad been inserted at the re quest of Mr. Trenholm, commissioner, the object being to exclude tbe white depositors who bad wrecked tbe bank, and to confine it specially to the poor colored people who bad been defrauded of their little savings The amendment was rejected. Mr. Vdnce called for tbe yeas and nays on the passage of tbe till, but, as , it was represented to him tbat there was no que ram resent, he withdrew the call and the bill was passed without division. rue conference report on the River and Harbor bill was received from the House: and was on motion of Mr. Edmunds or dercd to be printed. Tbe Senate then proceeded to the con sideralion of the fisheries treaty, in open executive session, and Mr. Teller addressed the Senate against the treaty. At the close of Mr. Teller s remarks Mr, Dawes obtained the floor; and the matter went over till Monday. At 5.45 p m. the Senate adlourned until Monaay. . HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Crowded galleries and a good attendance of members on the flocr greeted Chairman Mills this morning, as be rose in bis place to close tbe long debate on the- Tariff bill fromptly at 11.30 o clock the bill was called up, and Mr. Mills, after offering two amendmeuts, intended to correct typo graphical errors in tho bill, moved tbe pre vious question on them, and they were adopted, tie men proceeded to address tbe fiouso, cegmning by stating tbe condition I of tbe finances of the government, placing me surplus at one hundred and twenty nine million dollars. I This, he said, should arrest the attention of tbe country: It rep resented unnecessary taxation drawn from the people and piled up in the Treasury. It was tho taxation levied upon tbe product or. labor, xc was an iniquity. This enor mous amount of money was constantly low ering prices and piling an enormous load on labor, and increasing the privileged classes. How long would (Tbe before stagna tion would occur, and bankruptcy and ruin uock together over the land T 'lbe majority bad attempted to bring be fore the House a bill to reduce this taxa tion and lessen the inflow of monev into the treasury. By amendments made in Committee of the Whole the relative rate of duty bad been placed at f ortv-two dnl lsrj and ninety-nine cents on tbe hundred. This moderate bill had been met by a storm oi denunciation, ana characterized as a free trade measure. Was $42 99 on the hun dred free trade 7 What state had a five per cent, rate of taxation. In the maloritv of States it did not exceed one dollar on the hundred. The tariff of 1846 had been spoken of as a free trade tariff. Mr. Mills then took up tbe bill in detail. beginning with the chemical schedule. where tbe rate of duty had been reduced irom 3a. 87 to 28.17 on earthen and crock ery ware. The reduction had been $7 in the hundred. They called that free trade. If $50 on the hundred was free trade, in God s name what was protection. Sugar snowea next to ine largest reduction in the bill, larger than in hemp. juie, iron ana in evtryiamg except wool, Yet the bill bad been called a sectional measure. To get six millions of protec tion on sugar the government had to col lect fifty-eight millions of tariff duties. In provisions the reduction was one dollar in the hundred more free trade. It was less than one dollar in cotton goods. Was not thaumoderate? The duty still remaining is $39 07. In wool and woollen goods the reduction was $20 on tbe hundred, and most oi that had been caused by placing wool on tbe free list. The manufacturer would get free wool and forty per cent protection, or five per cent, more than he now gets; and still they said bill was a free trade measure. Articles amounting to twenty million dollars had been nlaced on the free list, and $6,'390,000 of tbat was wool. Cotton had been the chief product of this country, yet the Republican party had put it on the free list, and they were right; but when it was proposed to touch wool, tne combination that made the pro tectiva tariff waa struck and they - eaid. "You shall not touch It" - ' The noTtrhln on the free last -was tin plate-$5.700.000. Not apound of it was proaucea in vuis country. mliiM nrnrwuMi tn oive this monev to the consumers, yet their action was called,freo trade. If that was free trade make the most ot it. Salt was next because few people were interested :in its manufacture. The Committee was stigmatizsd as free traders for putting it on the free .nt Burlaps was not made in thiscoumr , ; it had been placed on the free list. Hemp and jute made up $1,700,000 of the free Hat.- With all the milk that could be ivon this baby industry it had failed to grow. It was dsiag and - must soon disappeur. The Republicans bad used tbe same irju- ment in favor of stnamg uowo tne eunru industry, - Opium paid $4H3,UUO; unaa oeen piem u on tbe free list Cotton ties and briities (the latter, produced in Russia), had also been placed on the rree list. A iooa pro duct, currants, tbat concerned no laborer in the country, hjad been placed on the free list. Yet the Committee bad been taunted with being free traders. Their opponents said, "If you want anything free, take a free drink of whiskey." Applause.J i The taxes on express companies, on icie nhone comnanies. on all the wealth of the country, bad been removed, but none of tbe taxes on labor bad been removea. wooi grew on sheep; there had been much sym pathy expressed for sheep. The Demo ccratic party - sympathized with men. It wanted cheap clothing for the poor. Tbe Republicans wanted the duties kept so high that neither wool nor woollens could be brought "in." With a product of three hundred million pounds and a need for stx hundred . million'' pounds, what were we going to dot The Democrats pro-" posed to let in wool free, and let our work men make it up into clothing. Tbe bill was intended to benefit the condition and increase the wages of the laboring people. Applause. The government should not meddle with the people; they could take care of themselves. They were the most intelligent and best people la tho world, and could give employment to all of the laborers if congress wouia out lei them alone. Why should we not have free raw material and have an opportunity to contest on equal terms with foreign manufacturers? We would have a fair field and open fight Applause. , ; The Democratic party intended to ap peal tojthe virtue and intelligence of iho country. Money was being poured into his district in Texas to beat him for re election to tbe 51st Congress, but he wanted the country to know that the people of bis district were not for sale. The Committee had reduced the duty on steel rails fr jm $17 to $11 per ton, and it was charged that that was - an effoit to de stroy an infant industry. Ia conclusion Mr. Mills referred to the suit of clothes produced by Mr. McKinley during his speech. He said tbat ' be bad nothing to take back. He bad inquired into it, and bad found tbat that $10 suit bad been protected to the amount of $4.UJ. He bad heard that tbat suit was to t?e photographed and used in tbe camptin. He wanted to photograph on the. bram of every voter the fact that that $10 evil was protected to tho amount of $4 va At tbe conclusion of Mr. Mills 'speech. which was tumultously applauded, all of the amendments were agreed to with the exception of that on cotton tie?, on which Mr. McKinley demanded a yea and oar vote, which was ordered. It resulted yeas 170. nays 128. and the amendment stands as agreed upon in Committee of tbe Whole. Mr. Gear, of Iowa. (Rep.), voted wi'h tbe Democrats; Mr. Randall was (mired with Mr. Hogg, of West Virginia. ! j When the jeas and nays were .rdered on the final pasiae of the bill, Mr 3 - den, of Pennsylvania, obtained nc 'cni- tioo, and said tbat his distinguished col league, Mr Randall, who was absent from the House by reason of severe illness, bad sent him a letter which he wished lo have read at this time Ths letter waa reai as follows: July 19tA. 1888 Hon. W. H Sovrdeo. House of Representatives My Deer Sir: If the vole on the Mills Tariff bill is iskea Saturday, the 21st inst.. I fear my strength by reason of recent illness will not permit my presence in tbe Mouse on that dav. and u aojeoi i want you to secure mo a pair wuh some one who favors tbat bill, as I would if present record my vote in opposi tion to it. Give this immediate care, as I do not want to bo misunderstood. I want it announced and distinctly known that 1 am opposed to the passage of the bill in question, x ours truly. "Signed. Samuel J. Rahoall." Tho letter was loudly applauded bv the Republican members of the House. The- roll call was then proceeded with, the vole resulting yeas ioa; nays 14. the announcement of the result waa greeted -with applause, and it was with some difficulty that Mr. Mills succeeded in quie iag his enthusiastic colleagues long enough to enable him to make a motion to reconsider and table, which was carried -During the calling of the roll intense in terest was manifested on the floor, and many members provided themselves with roll sails, and kept tally as each vote was announced. The first member in regard to whose vote there waa some doubt, who was reached upon . the call, was Mr. An- nerson, of iowa, who. was elected as an Independent with Republican proclivities, and as be ca3t bis vote with the Democrats those gentlemen vigorously applauded him. Tbe next gentleman whose vote gained bim a round of applause was Mr Bliss, of New York, and as he cast his Vote against the bill, it was tbe Republican side mat psu mm tne compliment. Mr. Fitch, of New York, when his name was called, replied with a vigorous affirma tive, which gained bim hearty greetings from the Democratic side, which were counterbalanced in a few moments by Re publican, applause, when Mr. Ureenman, of New 'York, answered in the negative Mr. Merriman, of New York, was also applauded when he voted against the bill, but tbe greatest demonstration accorded any gentleman was that tendered to Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, when he answered to bis name in the affirmative. Mr. Sowden, of Pennsylvania, came in for some Republican applause as he voted "No." After the roll had been called, but before the announcement had been made, the Dpeaaer directed the Clerk to call hii name, and he voted in favor of the bill. Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, moved that when the House adjourn to-day it be to meet on Wednesday next. Mr. Boutelle moved that as this was the twenty-seventh anniversary of the battle of Bull Run, the House should take a re cess until 8 o'clock. This motion was voted down amid a chorus of applause and laughter from the Republicans, and the remark from Mr. Ro gers, of Arkansas, "This is your Waterloo." Mr. McMillin's motion to adjourn until Wednesday waa then rejected, upon a yea and nay vote, and the House, at 2 o'clock, took a recess till 8 o'clock this evening, the evening session to be for the consideration of Indian depredation claims. Two men were choked to death in New Jersey by awkward and bungling officials. It is about time to introduce elec tricity or some other refined method into these legal killings. N. T. World. Mamma.
