THE ELECTION OF SENATORS.
THE NOISE DEBATES TUE yCESTION
Mr. Tuvka Makus m KotabU gpchKi
publican filibustering Prevented
Vote, v :, 'i - -r -
Washinoton, July 13. House.
Mr. Dockery; Democrat, of Missouri,
submitted the. conference report on the
DistfictT ComjnMa"pproprtatlonbill7
whicn recommends an appropriation of
$90,000 for the G..A. It. encampment
next September, to be paid out of the
district revenues. Agreed to. v
The House then proceeded with the
Joint resolution providing that Senators
shall bo elected by" a direct vote of the
people.
Mr. Tucker, . Democrat, of Virginia,
who reported the resolution, spoke in
favor of the change, and said that the
Legislatures were more amenable to un
due influence and the corrupting power
of corporate aggressions and individual
insittii tnan TTOuraffThcxrmiTn'Pirta"
tion of a State. State and Federal offi
cers should be kept distinct and separate
for the purity of each and the betterment
of both. Under the spurious guise of
interest merely in the senatorial election,
Legislatures are debauched and the pur
chased member in the senatorial election
can hardly pose as the unbought and un
purchasable tribune of the people's local
rights. The proposed resolution was not
a cure for the evils complained of by the
pooplje, but it would eradicate many evils,
and would have a healthful tendency to
check the increase of others. It would
have a wholesome influence upon politi
cal parties and an appeal would be made
directly to the people for their suffrages.
Upon the conclusion of his speech Mr
Tucker was greeted by his colleagues
who crowded the aisles to offer congratu
lations. The debate was continued briefly by
Messrs. Gant., Babbitt, Doan, Herman,
Powers, Bryan, Lanham, Dearmond,
C'hipman and Cumiugs, all of whom fa
vored the general proposition to elect
Senators by a direct vote of the people
although opinion differed as to the
method of securing the change.
Mr. C'hipman, Democrat, of Michigan,
moved the -previous (juestion, and pend
ing that Mr. Reed, Republican, of Maine,
moved to take a recess until 4 55.
Mr. Burrows, Republican, of Michigan,
moved to take a recess until..1!) o'clock.
Mr. Chipman demanded the yeas and
nays on the latter motion. Lost yens
5, nays 222.
The lilbustering by the Republicans
was thus successful in preventing a vote
on the resolution, and at 5 o'c lock the
House took a recess until S o'clock to
uiflit the evening session to be for the
consideration of pension matters,

Interesting 1'oiitiilhce Rumors Isliradytu
tin?
The air yesterday was full of the rumor
that Postmaster Brady is to go. Nobody
seemeti t know anything lielinite about
the matter until late in the evening when
a member of the Gordon "fraction" was
found who staled to the O listen eh that
Brady's removal has been determined
upon at Washington, and the only ques
tion is as to tho succession. The names
being canvassed in this connection
are those of C. M. Rav, of
the present postolllce force, Ed
McDonald, and J. W. Gordon, of the
city, C. W. Clanton, of the county, and
Dr. II. 1 . Alott, of Iredell. J. C. Pritch
ard, of Madison, is said lobe supporting
Rav because Ray has a brother in Pritch
ard's district who can help him along
toward Congress. Dr. J. J. Mott was in
the city Monday, and is alleged to have
gone from here to Washington. Chair
man Eaves and National Committeeman
Cowles are said to be backing Brady.

Shortly after 9 o'clock last evening,
while LthejdtyLcouriclLsrat lnjcssion, the
chief of police threw a bomb in their
midst by announcing that a report had
just reached him that two hundred ne
groes, armed with rifles, had congregated
in the vicinity of the jail, prepared for an
attack. The report spread like wildfire
and in a few niinutqs the entire city was
wild with excitement. The mayor at
once sent a dispateh to the-Govcrnor
asking him to order out Company C, of
the State GuarrJ. located here. Every
able-bodied mag was soon on the streets
and everybody was armed with shotguns.

The negroes have been secretly obtain
ing arms for some Jtime and something
of this kind has been looked for at most
any time. The immediate causo of
the outbreak as stated by a negro last
night is the arrest of a , colored man by
the name 61 Burgess." The" negroes say
that they armed to protect him, fearing
he would be lynched. The mayor and
marshal appealed to the mob to disperse.
This they agreed to do, but after re
treating a short distance made another
stand. " At exactly 12 o'clock a band of
75 appeared.marching down North Sixth
street and they opened lire upon the
men collected at the jail. At tho first

20 years of age, fell, shot through the ab

ed by the militia and the armed whites,
and the. negroes beat a precipitulg re
treat. .The miiit. a also retreated in dis
order back of the court house, where
they kept up liring until the negroes
had disappeared down the street. It is
thought that some of the negroes are
wounded. The jail and court
room are now tilled witli the militia and
armed citizens. The negroes have re
treated back to the Odd Fellows lodge,
which was their chief hcadquaitei.- last
evening. They still refuse to disperse
and the sheriff and marshal have an
nounced that no effort will be spared to
scatter them. Excitement runs high.

Mr. Astor Doing Splenillilly.
London, July 12 At 1 o'clock this
afternoon the correspondent of the Uni
ted-Pross, who called to inquire as to tho
condition of Mr. Wm. Waldorf Astor,
was informed by a member of the family
that Mr. Astor was doing splendidly.
The family were shocked to learn that a
report of Mr. AstOr's' death had been
printed in New York. They were also
much annoyed because of the number of
inquiries which the rumor had caused to
pour in upon them and at the many visits
made to the house on tho samo account.
Mrs. Astor dined out last evening, and
has arratfged to . attend the theatre to
night. These facts are sufficient to indi

."dr. fobpott. Meiiiocriil, of (lioigia,
said In let-'. rejoiced to bear Senators on
the I leinoci at ic side of the house speak
in favor of the sanctity of the Sabbath,
because he did not believe that on every
(piestion of religion and morality the
Republicans stood on one side and the
I knocrats on l he ot her. When a Sena
tor with the genius ami fertility of re
source of bin friend the Siuator from
Alabama (Mr. Morgan) was reduced to
the platitudes of saloon keepers, the
harlots and the drimkaids of this coun
try, by claiming that the pending mo
tion to close this exposition on the Sub
bath was a union of Church and State,
the question was indeed poverty
stifckeu. When talking of liberty some
consideration was due to the eleven
millions of professing Christians who
desired to have their Sunday undis
turbed. They had some rights, some
lilMUttes, vvh'ch should be respected. Mr.
Colquitt' quoted at length from I'ere
Hyacii.th, undone of his sentiments, that
a trained intellect without Christianity
was akin to barbarism, was applauded
from the galleries.
Mr 1 Uncock, Republican, of New York,
warned those who had this matter in
charge that opposition to,the amendment
for closing the World's Fair on Sun 'ay
carried Wore " pertrto' tho "uppreTirlartofl"
than it could encounter from any i other
cause whatever.
Mr. Morgan charged that this whole
movement Iiad a political object and waf
being worked for a political end. It hits
been originated lu a Republican fitiito by
one of the most astute politicians in tho
'United States (Mr. Quay). Here was tije
Senator from New York (Mr. llisock)
already threatening what thoDcm xruiio
House might dd, and yet tho Pcmitor
from Georg'a (Mr.CoJqilitt) hfd fallen as
innocently into the trap as a' babe into

and yet it never occttrted-to tha Senator
rrora UeorgiA (Mr, Colquitt) to object,
because there was no pontics in it.,;. But
now that a political trump card was. led
out, the-Chtirch cried, "Amen, leid-on
