? zy' mt VCLUME IX.-NUMBER 1967 CHARLESTON WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 1, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE PRESS ON GREELEY. WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS EVERY? WHERE SAY OF TTiENOMINEE. Thc Harlequin Herald on the Fence. [Prom the New York Herald of Saturday.] The fact that a body o? men. coming from every sectloa of the country and animated by purposes so unique and contradictory, should resolve to enter upon a canvass for the dency with Horace Greeley as the candidate ls the most striking event, In some respects ever known in our political history. It shows pre-eminently the effect of personal character and devotion to duty npon the general mind of the country; for whatever criticisms may be made upon the public career of Gree ley, no one denies his honesty of purpose his zeal lu the public service, his devotion to the people's welfare, his almost senti mental devotion to every scheme that promis? ed well to mankind. Greeley's enemies have regarded him as a fanatic and a dreamer. His friends bave worshipped him with a devotion almost Oriental asTan apostle of progress and humanity. No man is aa well known In the couutry as Horace Greeley, unless, perhaps, ls General Grant. It will, therefore, not be canvass of false pretences, it will be a per sonal canvass, a question of mere men; for beyond the name of Horace Greeley, what principle do we see in this platform ? The name of Horace Greeley and the restlessness of the country under our foreign policy, and the desire for change which belongs to our easy tempered people, and nothing more There are conditions of the public temper whee considerations as superficial and evan escent as* these will control a canvass and name a President. This we Baw when Harrison and Pierce were elected. Are we to have these" eonditlons now, and with similar results ? Are our people tired ot Grant Does the absence of any special enthusiasm for Grant at this time show that cur people ore weary ? These are que^cionc that the caa vasB will develop. In the meantime, we wei come Horace Greeley Into the campaign as a man whom the American people will always respect and honor. Whether we shalt rup port or oppose bim must be decided by him self. He has received this nomination, and if be avoids certain fallacies that have embar? rassed tbe usefulness of his career, we snail support bim. Bat in this we shall await the developments of the canvass, and the attitude in which tbe nominees of the conventions will .stand before the people. The World tn a Quandary. [Prom the New Yoi s world ] With so unexpected and surprising a candi? date as Hr. Greeley, we have no advice to offer. The Democratic national commit.'*3 will meet In ibis city next week*, and Issue i he regular call lor the usual convention. We think lt expedient, on all grounds, that the convention should ba beld early, especially after this extraordinary result at Cincinnati. But tbe convention cannot very well be held before the latter part of June, and meanwhile there will be opportunity fora free expression of Democratic opinion. Under existing cir? cumstances we do not aspire to. guide Democratic senti meut, but prefer to watch and follow it. We will frankly say, however, that Hr. Greeley ls. not our choice, and that we regret bis nomination. If, as seems likely, the Democratic Convention should lg norrine Cincinnati ticket and nominate a new one ot its own,-we shall give that new ticket our zealous support. To many Democrats this course seems inevitable, but the strange action at Cincinnati bas fallen on ns so sud? denly that we deem it prudent to await the spontaneous expression of Democra? tic opinion before' proffering counsel In Circumstances so extraordinary. Our pres? ent impression is, tbat the Democratic National Convention will ignore Cincinnati entirely and nominate a new ticket-a course In which lt may conn t upon the hearty sup? port ot the World. We will be guided by the National Convention, and submit to Us Judg? ment In any event; but we do not at present see any possibility in the fu? ture as the endorsement of Mr. Greeley by the Democratic party. We grudge him none of tbe Republican votes which his personal popularliy will draw away from Granr. We bave no doubt that, inside the Republican partv, he will make a strong canvass. He ls popular enough to make a great and formi? dable split In tbe Republican ranks; and the assured Republican schism gives Democrats a splendid opportunity, such as we have not before bad since the outbreak of the civil war. We think thlB is the view which will be taken by the Democratic National Convention when it assembles. We take lt for granted that Mr. ' Greeley will stand by his guns and not retire from the canvass. Six or. eight weeks hence, when our convention assembles, lt will be ap? parent what his strength really ls; and mean? while we can afford to walt and watch the de? velopments of the BChlsm in the Republican ?artv, and judge what it is likely to amount to r*bat the effect ot running three ticket? may be is a topic Which we reserve for early dis alon. 'The Staid Commercial Organ Speaks Its Mind. [From the Journal of Commerce.] " There were two conrees open to this con? vention of disaffected Republicans. ' One. which, was generally expected, was to nomi? nate a candidate of high character and ol mod? erate views, who bad a good standing among men of all parties, and wno, by securing a subsequent Democratic endorsement, might fairly hope to be elected. The other was to nominate a well-known partisan Republican, who should stand well with and fairly repre? sent the vie ws o? i hose assembled, and be likely to draw ont their strength in the can? vass, but who could not expect a Democratic endorsement, and would thus compel the reg? ular Republican convention to endorse him or to throw the election into the bands of their opponents. Whether wisely or not. the con? vention has chosen the latter ot thiise alterna? tives, and has put forward for the Pres? idency the name of Horace Greeley. He ls too well known throughout the United States to need any description at our hands. Nor ls he, with all his idlosyn oracles, a candidate- tn be despised. He has a following In New Tork strong enough to render the success of any other Republican candidate in this State quite hopeless while be keeps the field; and if Ibose represented at Cincinnati cling to his lortunes he will turn the scale also In many another State now reck? oned as probably Republican. This will place a grave responsibility upon ttie regulur Re {mollean Convention, to meet in Philadelphia, f the nomination is then confirmed by that body, and he ls elected, it will throw the whole patronage of the General Government Imo the hands of those who have heretofore been In a disaffected minority. If his claims are wholly ignored, and Grant ls re-nonnna ted, the running of t*o euch Republican can? didates would almost certa'nly bring tbe Dem? ocrats once more into power. If ibis nomina? tions is heartily accepted by all who were rep? resented at Cincinnati, lt will prove to be the hardest problem the party has been called lo solve since it first came into power. -The Sententious Sun on the People's Daly. [From the New York Sun.] Horace Greeley was yesterday nominated for President by the convention at Cincin? nati He is the grandson of an Irishman, and will ' be likely to carry the Irish vote. By birth, by education, and by sentiment, he is an out-arfd-out American. The Germans seem to be for bim enthusias? tically. Th? South is for him, both colored and white. The Non h ls for him. The Liberal Republi? cans ar? for him, heart and soul, and the Democrats appear to be for him aleo. The East is for him. The West is for him. We lave done our duty in bringing him for? ward and making him a candidate. It only remains for the people to do theirs and elect him. Grata's Own Organ on Greeley. [From the New Yoi k Times.] Nobody In his senses believes that so eml ?aenily shrewd and practical a people as thia wou'd ever place such a man us Horace Gree? ley at the head of their government. If und? one man could send a great nation to the dogs, mut man ls Mr. Gieeley. There Is no d?pri? ment ot business which he would not disor? ganize and unsettle; there is no wild "ism" which he would not endeavor to Incorporate into the framework of our government; there is DO foreign country with which he wowd not embroil us; there Is no crude Illusion which he would not eagerly pursue. -.. - Views of the Free Trade Post. [From the New York Evening Post.1 The deplorable part of this mischance is that it endangers the Republican party. If Mr. Adams or Mr. Trumbull had been nominated they would have secured votes enough from the thoughtful men of both parties to be elec? ted, and their elecci?n would have won the ac. quiescence even of General Gram's adherents. Greeley can have no hope of an electon. and If he runs at all will only divide the Republican vote, leaving the field clear to the Democrats, who, should they have sense enough, as many ol them already urge, to put up such a ticket as Adams and Groesbeck, will bid fair to sweep the field. The Albany Argos Eulogizes Greeley. ALBANY, N. Y., May 3. The Argus of this city is surprised at the nomination of Mr. Greeley, but refrains Irom expressing any opinion, awaiting the action according to usages-of the National Demo? cratic Convention, but says : "No man of the Republican party has deserved more from it than Mr. Greeley. Few in the country have Impressed the people more favorably as re? gards personal character, great menial vigor, patriotism and virtues, which no eccentricities can cloud." The Chicago Tribune Out for Greeley. CHICAGO. May 3. The Tribune, in its editorial article on the nomination, says : "Horace Greeley ls known to all the land. His personal Integrity is un? questionable. He has won his distinction be? fore the people by a life of industry, toil and ability. The presidency, can hardly add any? thing to his fame, but in the movement by the people for reform there is no person to whom the task can be more fittingly or confidently committed than him." The Springfield Republican Thinks it no K?is j- Job to Beat Greeley. SPRINGFIELD, MAS.?., May 4. The Republican of to day says that the Cin? cinnati Convention has disappointed both its enemies and Its friends. It has seemed una? ble to lilt itself quite to Ute level ol its oppor? tunity, and has rested content with doing well when the country and the hour demanded that lt should do ila beat. But the adminis? tration should not deceive itself on this point. Mr. Greeley's popularity ls no myth. He ls as strong with the ex-slaveholders as with the ex-slaves-with the Irish laborers as with native-born farmers wbo have never voted a Democratic ticket in their lives. He may be beaten, but those who fancy the Job an easy one will one of these days see cause to alter their opinion. If the Philadelphia people con? clude to undertake this Job, lt behooves them to build a stouter platform than they are now thinking of, and to find stronger men to put on lt when built. The Chicago Times Thinks lt Amusing, But If the Democrats Want to, They ? Can Elect Greeley. CHICAGO, May 4. The Tl mes thinks the Cincinnati Convention has surprised and amused the country, lt ls possible that the millions of Democratic voters represented In their National Convention will conclude that Mr, Greeley ts better than Mr. Grant, and take him as a choice of evils. If BO. Mr. Greeley will be the next President. The Democracy was not consulted in his nom? ination; and those whose wishes the CLncin clnnatl Convention has treated with disdain must elect him. it he is elected at all. The De? mocracy, wholly untrammelled by the Cincin? nati event, can view the situation calmly, and proceed to results deliberately. It may be master of the situation. Its national com? mittee, whose meeting Is appointed for The 8th Instant, will doubtless call an early con? vention, and this wilt be a more consequential, as it is hoped it will be a wiser body, tnan that ol Cincinnati Tome of the New Orleans Press. [From the New Orleans Times.] The man who ba9 passed honorably through such a trial, who, alter being the target lor twenty-live years or constant assault, opposi? tion and discussion, succeeds in winning the esteem, th<> confidence and the love of large classes of the people, and the universal repute of an honest, virtuous and patriotic citizen, may well be asslgaed a high and honorable niciie among the national worthies. Such a man is Horace Greeley. We have had great generals, great statesmen, orators, and even philosophers In our history, but not one who has so long and so worthily borne the responsibilities and so honestly fu'.llled the difficult duties ot a public Journalist. His merits and qualifications for the Presi? dency may be thus summed up: He is an hones-1 man. He possesses vast at? tainments and knowledge in every department o? political science and great experlenc - W public affairs. He ls a self-raised man. sprung from the peo Ele. a mechanic by profession, who rises io the ighest position io the most difficult ot all the professions, that demand large mental and moral power and culture. He is the embodiment and the most coura geo'. i champion of peace and fraternity among our people, and the most formidable adversa? ry of the military tendencies ol a great politi? cal party. He ls a reformer and a progressive, a patriot and a just and truthful man. And when ihese qualifications are presented, and especially when opposed to such as are embodied In General Grant, we do not think there can oe much hesitation among good citi? zens in declaring their preference tor Horace Greeley as the, next President of the United 8 ta tes. [From the New Orleans Picayune.] Whilst Mr. Greeley's peculiarities and oddi? ties of dress, manner, temperament and intel? lect have become matter for witicisms and hu? morous comment to the eutlre newspaper-read? ing world, and his zealous apvocacy of many t>oc!al and political theories and fierce attacks on others have created for him a host of op? ponents all over the country, he has always had a strong hoid on the masses from the be? lief entertained In his thorough sincerity, up? rightness and honesty, and his persistent de? sire for the well-bring of ?he people at large, physical, mental and mo? That Mr. Gree? ley would make an honen and an indepen? dent President there can be no doubt. His chances for election, especially if supported by the Democracy, are very great; and tbesj chances are increased by the support that the West will give to Giaiz Brown. Texas for Greeley. HOUSTON, Texas, May 3. The Houston Times, (Democratic) hoists the names of Greeley and Brown. Its leader says: "The Convention has done ils work well, both as regards platform and candidates. The nominees are the representatives cf the high? est integrity and ability of the country. They also represent that liberal ard proaresnive spirit in politics, combined with that respect for our time-honored institutions which /orin ihe essential elements-of American stateman shlp. Besides, they have done more than any other two men lo Inauguiate that liberal move? ment which bus broken the bad Torce of Radi? calism and restored the hope of good govern? ment to the country. We confidently expect that the ticket will be immensely popular at the South, and lt will be equally so ia the North, West anu East. Here I be nominations not only give universal satisfaction, but are received with enthusiasm." What the 'Frisco Papers Say, SAN FRANCISCO, May 3. The nomination of Greeley created a mark? ed sensation here. The Bulletin says if. is too early to predict ihe result, but Greeley will undoubtedly prove acceptable lo the Radicals of the Nonh and the Conservatives of the Soulb. The Examiner, an old-line Democratic pa? per, prefers asquaie fight on the old Issue.?, wiih a straight-out Democratic candidate, who will conduct the ^orerument back to Its ancient laudmarl The Post, independent, unqualifiedly en? dorses the nomination.

The Tribune Philosopher on the Nomi? nation-What He Says About th? Col? ored Folks. The New York Sun Interviewed Mr. Greeley on Friday evening. Here ls its account of what he said : Reporl^r. Did you expect the nomination, Mr. Greeley ? Dr. Greeley. I thought Senator Trumbull would get it. He would bave made an excellent candidate. I cannot say that I expected the nomination. Reponer. Have you read the platform ? Dr. Greeley. I have read what has been telegraphed. Reporter. I have not seen the dispatches. Have they run a tariff plank Into the platform? Dr. Greeley (with an honest smile.) They have done Just what I thought they should have done, and Just what I advised-referred the whole tariff business to the people, to be settled in the Congressional Districts. Reporter. If the people elect a majority of I Congressmen In favor of a repeal of the tariff bill, and the Congress repeals that bill, what would be the duty of the next President of the Culled States ? Dr. Greeley (promptly.) It would be bis duty to sign the bill passed by Congress. Reporter. If you are elected President will you sign such a bill If Congress passes lt ? Dr. Greeley. I certainly will. I shall en? deavor to carry out the expressed wishes of the people, despite my own Impressions or [ convictions. Reporter. If the convention had adopted a Free Trade plank would you have acoepted the nomination ? Dr. Greeley. I would not. I telegraphed that If the Free Traders got control of the con? vention I would not accept the nomination. I could not have accepted the nomination on a high tariff platform, for I believed that the whole subject should be referred to the people themselves. It was a matter that concerned the people more than the convention. The convention did right in referring lt to the Congress districts. Our friends went Into the convention with their colors flying and came out of lt with flying colors. The people are to decide the question of the tariff, and the people are the tba propor purtles to dooido lc Reporter. I see you were nominated on the slxih ballot, Mr. Greeley. Dr. Greeley. Yes. I think it more credita? ble to be nominated on the sixth than on the first ballot. It ls an evidence that our friends bad bottom, and that their bottom didn't fall out ' Here the roar of cannon from the City Hall Park shook the windows. Dr. Greeley ap? proached the closed wladow with a pleasant remark, and looked at the dissolving smoke. It was the first gun that had ever been fired in blB honor. Alter the third discharge the champion of peace resumed his old position. Rep; 'ter. You will probably carry the South and West, Mr. Greeley, and Massae h use its - Dr. Greeley (quickly. ) No. Massachusetts will go ror Grant. I feel quite sure ot lt Reporter. Grant might decline the Phila? delphia nomination. Mr. Greeley (smiling.) Is it too late ? He ought to have done it six weeks ago. ow it ls too late. Reporter. If Grant declines, the Philadel? phia men might nominate say Collas lor Pres? ident and Wilson for vice-President. Dr. Greeley (again smiling.) In that case the campaign might be a very interesting cam? paign. But the time bas passed for such a ticket. It's too late. Here the Rev. Mr. Ray, a colored clergyman, shook ihe honest champion of the people by the hand, saying, uWe will put you in the White House, Mr. Greeley. We surely will." Dr. Greeley. The colored folks know me pretty well by thia time, I think. My record has never been hidden. When they vote they can't claim to be blind. Tuey vote with their eyes wide open. During the entire conversation he seemed to be guarded, and never gave an answer until he thought some lime. One thing ls certain, he has the greatest hope that he shall win. He spoke very highly of Gratz Brown, and believed that lt was a wise selectloo. TRUMBULL TO GREELEY. ST. LOUIS, May ft. Senator Trumbull has addressed the fol? lowing letter to Mr. Greeley: To Horace Greeley-Allow me to congratu? late you on being .-elected to lead the move? ment which, by" the will of the people and God's blessings, is to reform and purify the government. LYMAN TRUMBULL. THE OLD NORTH STATE AWAKE. The Liberal Nominee fdr the Governor? ship of North Carolina, GREENSBORO, N. C., May 2. The Democratic Convention which met here yesterday morning, and which has Just ad? journed, was one of the most harmonious that ever assembled. About one thousand dele? gates atte-ded from the eighty-two counties, and although nothing had been cut and dried, such harmony prevailed that a nomination was made on the first ballot. It may b* safely pre? dicted ihat the next Governor ot North Caro? lina will be Judge Augustus S. Merriman, and the political funeral of Tod Caldwell, Grant's protege,'will be held on the first Thursday fn August. Judge Herrlmaa ls rather a good looking nun, ubout forty-five years old, me dium-Bized, well formed, and though he was known as one of the slowest lawyers at the bar, he has surprised his friends by the ac? curacy and dispatch with which he transacts all business as a Judge. During the war he was a moderate or peace man and held senti? ments which would have made any other per? son unpopular. He represented Buncombe, his uative county, several years In the State Legislature, and In 1864 was made solicitor of the Seventh Judicial Circuir. He was appointed to the bench by ex-Governor Holden, hut pre fen lng to practice at tbe*bar. he resigued In 1867, and formed a copartnership with Sam Philips, and opened adonice in Raleigh, and the firm has since become one of the most emint-nt In the State. It is believed here ihat the demoralization produced In Gram's rln" by ihe Liberal movement will give Judge Merriman san easy walk over. The rest of the Liberal nominations ure as follows: Lleu tenant-l?overnor. Major Johu Riighea; ireas urer. Major John W. Graham; attorney-gene? ral, Jud^e. \v illiom M.

Tbere were eight burials here yesterday from scarlet fever and me ningi Us, The deaths were confined to the lower classes of the col? ored population. Among the political probabilities Is men? tioned the nomination of Major Harry Noah, now private secretary of the Governor, for State treasurer. It is said that he has strong supporters In the Bepubllcan ranks for the position. There were some heavy sales of real estate to-day, with material advances lo prices. Quite a number of boxes containing neces? sities for the Lunatic Asylum were received by the superintendent from friends In remote partB of the 8tate who had relatives there. The new arrangement for the support of the Institution ls being perfected, and Dr. Ensor believes that If it be faithfully carried out there will be no need for anxiety. Tn. Griminal Court convened to-day. Three murder cases are on trial. Several more arrests are reported in New? berry County. Commissioner Runkle bas gone to Laurens to bail the prisoners sent from Charleston. None of the escaped prison? ers from the Jail here have been captured. SALUDA. THE CHARLESTON CHURCH HOME. A "forthern Appeal In Behalf of a No? ble Southern Institution. (From the New Tork Church Journal.] ?T. THOMAS'S RECTORY, N. Y., April 22. A very inrestlng letter reached me this morniog from a well known and energetic presbyter of our diocese, who for the repair of his health bias been passing a few weeks In Charleston, S. C. This letter was intended to enlist my sympathy and active interest in "The Church Home," an institution founded about five years since, with a wise foresight of lis necessity, in the City of Charleston, by the Eev. A. Toomer Porter, a leading and be? loved pastor, and hitherto managed' by him, albeit under many depressing circumstances, with singular tact and success. It published in extenso, the letter of my correspondent could not fall to Interest your readers, but, believing that lt will better accord with bis wishes, l beg to give you a brief r?sum? of Ks contents. And the first thing to be noted is the fact that the Rev. Mr. Porter, who, as rector of the Church o? the Roly Com? munion, has an Important and engrossing parochial oharge, ls nevertheless devoting himself with unfailing energy to tho work or rescuing from the depressing effects of the recent civil war the generation that succeeds. His object ls to save the children of respecta? ble and honorable families, now Impoverished and ruined, from the Ignorance and degrada? tion which must ensue If there be no one to take care for their souls, or put forth a hand which ashall hold them to the old level of household privilege and repute. This work, BO wise, so important, so pressing. Mr. Porter has not only espoused, ont made a central and conspicuous feature o? parish life and activity. Had he failed to enlist his own people, or call forth to the uttermost their co-operation' and liberality. Borne question might have arisen; but the lay men of his own parish, of the city and of the diocese, are 'his helpers, nod-encouraged by their support, given to the lull extent o? di? minished mean?, a grand result already ap? pears. My correspondent says: "I saw In the church about seventy boys, belonging to the Home School which Mr. Porter 1B carrying on In connection with his parochial' work. The number has since been increased to eighty-seven, and if In addition to these we count the principal, teachers and assistants, thqn there are ninety five persons who re? ceive dally support at the institution. It Is to be remembered that these eighty-five boys are not the -waits and strays1 o? an unsettled and wandering race, but the Immediate represen? tatives of families who, a lew jears since, en? joyed ancestral distinction and the possession of great wealth and social Influence. Cut off from all domestic aids and resources, this in? stitution Blands to them instead. In addition to those who are thus being succored and educated under the eye of Mr. Porter, with special reference to a high grade of Instruction, to end In many cases with a collegiate course, a large number of day scholars are received, making the aggre? gate gathering, in all departments, Dearly two hundred and thirty. For the accommodation of an educational work of such proportions, lands and buildings have been secured, to the value often thousand dollars, and wholly paid for. The school ls well furnished with requi? site appliances and under most efficient train? ing and control." My valued correspondent, who was a frequent visitor, speaks In glowing terms of -'the efficiency displayed lu its man? agement," and refers to the very capable principal, who is ably sustained by a corps of zealous and faithful teachers. The house de? partment ls also well ordered, under the direction of a competent lady matron, who, in providing for the comfort of a large family, ls not unmindful of the necessity which exists for prudence 004 economy. In? deed, after painful struggles and vicissitudes, this institution has reached a point where it begins to command the approbation of all who know anything of its objects and workings. Several young men are at Trinity College, Hartford, and two are candidates for the ministry. It ls upon the members of our own church, however, that the weight of action, effort and obligation must rest at present ; for while national lu Its scope, this home for boys ls churchly In its character and Influence. In view of the good already accomplished, and the encouraging prospects of still greater re? sults, it would seem altogether right that the members of our Communion In all sections of the land, should exhibit a special personal in? terest In this most excellent work-seeking In all brotherly kindness to build up that which was broken down; to promote all efforts In the line of educational advantage, and to give the South hearty assurances that we are mose anxious to relieve the tribula? tions bequeathed by the late war, and to heal the sores thereof. Ir is a matter of the utmost consequence that this Institution, which makes BO strong and legitimate an appeal to the whole ohurch, should receive instant aid from such as are able to appreciate Its importance and present exigencies Mr. Porter cannot be expected to carry the burden alone. It is airean- too heavy and oppressive. The help he needs ls that which shall enable him to meet the cur? rent expenses of the home, and make such enlargements and additions as may be requir? ed tor the accommodation of pupils. Five hundred dollars monthly is all the assistance on which ne can count at home, and Is a large provision when the Impoverishment of the diocese ls considered. But In addition to this, eight hundred more must be suppled in order io maintain the institution, and for this Mr. Porter is compelled to4look elsewhere. His cause is noble, and bis fitness to manage lt wisely and towards most desirable ends, can? not be questioned. I will be pleased to remit him any contribu? tions sent to me, or 'uch ss are sent to Mr. Porter direct will be acknowledged. WILLIAM F. MOKOAN. THE GENEVA ARBITRATION ' LONDOS, May 6. It is thought that the motion of Lord Rus? sell for an humble address to her Majesty's Gov? ernment praying that the British aibilrators at Geneva be Instructed to withdraw from the tribunal ol arbitration until the claims of the United States for consequential damages are withdrawn, which waa to have been made at to-night's session of Parliament, will be again postponed. The uncertain aspect of the American Pres? idential question has bad a marked Influence upon the United States Government bonds, and the market for those securities has be? come flat.

WHAT CONGRESS IS DOING. ?WASHINGTON. May 6. In the House, to-day, a large number ot bills were Introduced to force over Hooper's civil rights bill. Eldridge, by way of sarcasm on Kelley and Maynard, sent up their substitute for the tariffand tax bill willi the title altered so as to read, "To further Increase taxes and encourage monopolies without adding to the revenue." The reading of lr, which cox de? manded, effectually used up the morning boar. Wood, a member of the committee on loreign relation*, reported hu exclusion ?rom the re? cent conference at the State department, but lt was decided that the House could take no cognizance of the subject, and lt was dropped.

An amendment repealing the franking privilege was lost by a vote ot twenty two to twenty-nine. An amendment forbid? ding former government officials acting as claim agents was also lost. The House committee on elections have unanimously agreed to report a resolution ousting Clarke and seating Geddings from Texas. Also in favor of Wallace agalast Mc Klsslck from South Carolina.
