editors from1., the Press Convention
now in session at Morehead, will be
here Saturday night. Among these
is Mr. J. 15.1 Whitaker, Jr., of! The
Plant.
To-day the House accepted the
conference report on Mr. Hender
son's, bill to regulate the liens of
judgment and decrees of the courts
ot the United States and finally
passed the bill. Hr. Henderson's
bill, which was fully outlined injTiiE
Plant when it was first introduced,
provides that the judgments land
decrees rendered in an United States
circuit or district court shall be liens
on property throughout the State to
the extent, only, ol a judgment jren
dered by a court of general jurisdic
tion ot the State.

the senate is now in executive! ses

Edmunds is' making a stiff tight
against Mr. Fuller's confirmation as
Chief Justice. He will probably be

the secret session adjourns.
Hon. S. J. ; Randall, who is still
very ill, is a little better to-day.
Mr. Carlisle may change his mind
about going to the Georgia Chatau-
iua next week. It is understood
that the protection ' crow"d in that
State, headed; by Mr. Grady of Ithe
'ConslUufion. intend to invite Mr.
McKinley, the leader of the Repub
licans on the iloor, and the trainer
jof the National Republican plat
form, to be present when Mr. Car
lisle visits Georgia. This proceed
ing is in such evident bad taste, and
It is considered so unfair to get the
Speaker of the Democratic House
jof Representatives to draw a crowd
for Mr. McKinley to address, that
Mr. Carlisle's strongest friends here
from Georgia will probably persuade
him to decline the invitation. This
is very much to be regretted as the
jhospitable people of Georgia who
pre, very fond of Mr. Carlisle, would
equally dislike to see him led into a
rap, or treated with discourtesy
while he is their guest

falling, having rained the greater

until the soil is completely satu
