It reduces the duty from $2.50 as fixed by the House, to L50 per thou sand. Party ines were entirely dis regarded in this vote, many Republican Senators voting against the committee amendment and many Democratic Sen ators for it. 1 . When salt was reached Senator Mc pherson "moved to strike out the whole paragrah, thus leaving salt on the free list. The vote on this was yeas -id, nays 22; no quorum. The bill was laid aside, between ten and eleven pages having been disposed of to-day. The House Lard bill was then pre sented to the (Senate and referred to the committee on agriculture, ine Senate then adjourned. house .oA representatives. No objection was made to reading the journal in the usual form.

Mr. Esnloe, of Tennessee, mado the point of order that to-day had been ic?,med to the .Labor committee. The ho" had knocked out the negro, now hewanted toisee whether he would knock out the workingman. Tho speaker declined to ruleon point of order, stating the very question which the House was about to decide was whether the Lrd bill was unfin ished business, j Noth withstanding the protests of Messrs. Turner, of New York, and MeClammv, of North Carolina, the Speaker directed the clerk to proceed with4he roll call. The question : of Mr. Cannon's reso lution was again brought forward by a personal explanation from Mr. Wil liams, of Illinois, one of the gentlemen mentioned in the preamble. He was proceeding to j comment upon Mr. Cannon's action as a member of the committee on Rules when he was called to order by the Speaker, who request ed that he confine himself to the ques tion of personal privilege. Mr. Cannon Let him go on; he does not hurt anybody. The Speaker replied that it was not a question as to j whether anybody was hurt or not,! it was ques tion of consumption of public . time. Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, rising to a question of personal privilege, said that he had been included In the black list. He had temporarily absented himself for the purpose of breaking a quorum, ana lor tne purpose vi ueieat ing the bill which he could not prop erly characterize in parliamentary lan guage. Considering that bill as a blow to his constituents which could not be defended on. any democratic or consti tutional principle, he considered it his highest duty to undertake to defeat it by any means short of absolute en mi- nalitv 1 ' ' Mr!

Special The Republican Slate convention met at Metropolitan hall at 12:20 with a larger attendance than was at first expected. The whites were more numerous than the negroes, and . by an evidently pre concerted arrangement they turned out in force. There were many spec tators and altogether a good deal of in terest was shown in the convention. John Ii. Eaves, the chairman, called the convention to order, and Jt C. L. Harris read the call. E. E. Smith, the colored ex-Minister to Liberia, was made temporary chairman. This was a little sop to the blacks. While the committee on credentials was out sev eral speeches were made. J. P. Pritch ard, a noted white Radical, (candidate for Lieutenant-Governor in 1SSS,) of Mitchell county, made a fiery speech, attacking the Democrats, and alleged that the farmers opposed Vance while the Democrats were trying to bolster him up. He said the negro and the color line were no longer objects of fear to tne wnite men, ana saia unman s campaign in Soutrr Carolina was on that line. (Cheers for Tillman. 1 "There is no color question in North Carolina, either," shouted the speaker. Charles A. Cooke, of Warren, the United States attorney for this district, said that in the coming campaign the Republican party was to achieve that success of which Democratic fraud and ras cality and false counts had here tofore deprived it. He asserted that in 1SSS Dockery was really elected Governor. He accused the Democrats of passing a vile election law, which was intended to defeat the will of the people and to encourage perjury and fraud, but declared that the Republicans would shake hands with all other good men and put this down. He eulogized Harrison in the strongest terms, as a political light and god. uharles t McKesson, oi uurKe, got on the stage and tried to speak. He was not in a condition to, but wearied the! audience for five minutes and then subsided. He was followed by Jamef H. Harris, the black orator, (whose speech in eulogy of the force bill was noted day before ye-terday.) Harris is a demagogue, of course, and lauded Harrison, the apology for a President, even more thau Cooke did. He said the Republican party was not dead, and that so was bossism. He re newed his assertion that no civil ser vice rules (he is in the postoftice) could stop him from making uepuoucan speeches. He said the Democratic leaders dealt fairly with the negroes on all questions save one politics, and that the negroes went with the Demo I cras on all questions save one poli tics, i tie aeciarea in&i no longer can the Democrats frighten the voters of the western counties with their talk about negro equality. He made many demands for the black man, saying white men must give him office. V. S. Lusk, white Republican, of Asheviile, was the next speaker. He made a most bitter and outrageous speechl in support of the Lodge bill. He declared that he wished to see a man-of-war in every Southern harbor and bayonets at every voting place. John S. Leary, Charles Price, Mar shall L. Motte and Rev, R. H. W. Leak also spoke. The committee on credentials reported that eighty-five counties were represented. The con vention then begad lively work and soon got very hot indeed over the se lection of a permanent chairman. The color line was drawn boldy.

Twuty-eYeo switchmen in the employ of the Lake Shore road went out on strike last night, completely tielng up all tho bu-lnej-i of vthe road as far a Chicago was cor.oefned. The trouble grew out of the eiock yards dirticuity. Superin tendent Amtden took a crew of men down to the stock vards Yesterday, af ternoon. Just before reaching there the nien quit and left their engines 'etandii on the track. Some time afterwards another crew wa started, but abandoned the engines at Forty -tnird street. When the night hift came to go to work they learned that KnTwrintendent Amsden had dfs- charsretl all the men who had left their engines. They immediately called a meeting and the men in the yards at Twelfth -treet, Fort3'-third street and Englewix)d walked out in a uoov. general meeting was' called at the corner of Sixty-third street and Indi ana avenue and a communication was drawn up and addressed to Superin tendent Arasden, in which it was stated that the men would return to work when those who had been discharged were reinstated. To this communica tion Suirintendent Am&den replied that the men had been discharged for refusing to perform their duties. On receipt of this news the strike was de clared. There are altogether about eighty switchmen employed on the Lake'Shore road, this. morning, half of which number the superintendent thinks win hold tneir worK. ine night ar d day switchmen are about equally divided and only the night I men have struck thus far. The day men have left their engines to attend the meetings in progress at Sixty-third street and Wentworth ave nue, the result of which is not yet known and out of twenty-three engi neers that should be working, only three ar at work. The conference at Sixty-third street and Wentworth ave nue was attended by about sixty switch men beloaging to both the night and ,1 ts.

The white Republicans should be men enough to do justice to the negroes who did the wcrk and who had stood by the party in all dangers. At this the negroe cheered mildly, j A negro named Hen derson, who is Eaves' clerk, said he favored Hoi ton, as there was no black or white in the Republican party. He attacked. J. C. L. Harris, caving1 the latter could only recognize the negro after twenty-five yeans, and satd this plan of putting up a negro for chair man was a trick. He declared thai the Radical bosses were backed by the Richmond and Danville Railroad com pany, but that they could no longer use the negro as a tool, tie lniimatea that Harris utight be one of the white Republicans who went to Washington City and urged that no offices be givea negroes. At this Harris sprang up and said any man who said that was a liar. John H. Williamson took the floor and said if this was not stopped the convention bad better quit.

Vouncr poured shot into Hen derson saying that two days .ago he was in a caucus of. tne jueary, men anu there tried to get Eaves endorsed. A rough scene followed; twenty men were on their feet at once and the color line was drawn powerfully. A Western white man said the white Republicans demanded a white chairman. There were open chargas by the negroes that the convention was packed by white Republican bosses. Marshal Mott charged Eaves with being traitor to an agreement made last night. Eaves, who was on the stage denied any knowl edge of any compact between him and Dr. Mott. y Z. P.
