After long discussion, Mr.. Clayion's

yeas.
Mr.. Sumner, at a quarter TO twelve, com.
menced speaking agains, the Bill. BY
unanimous consent, he was allowed 10 pre-
sent number of petitions against the Ne
braska Ball, including 1876 circumstances
from clergymen Of every Protestant denom-
ination in New England. These latter, he
said, were intended 10 have formed part OF
the mammoth memorial pres 'nied by his
colleague some time since. he delenued
the clergy Of New England for their noble
conduct in publicly denouncing the bill, and
protesting agains, lis passage. The pulPl:
of New Englaed would never again deIend
slavery from any attack made upon 1t.
Mr.. Mason objected to the reception 9th
remonsirance ofihe clergy; because, as Ihei:

views on former occasion, and he now
fully concuued in all he then expressed.
He had been instructed by the present Wing
Abolition Legislature Of Conn. to vote
against The bill, but after mature reflection
he had come TO the conclusion TO disobey
the instructions Of his constituents.
The bill was then ordered to be engrossed

THE THOMPSON CASE.

The last number of the Greenbrier Era
devotes considerable space to the acquital
Of DIR. Thompson, his subsequent movements.
and the sentiment of the people relative to
the case. 1t appears the jury stood eleven
for acquittal to one against; bat that one, be-
lag modest man, said that though he
thought the prisoner richly deserved hanging,
he would not insist on his opinion against
those of his eleven intelligent compeers The
verdict produced good deal of excitement
in Covington, and a paper was drawn up re-
questing Thompson to leave town; but he left
before it was presented. He attempted to
make speech when he was acquitted. He
thanked the jury for their verdict, asserted
his innocence, said that Miss Pharr descend
Ell to her grave virgin, and was going on
to give reasons, when Judge Hudson refused
to hear him. The Era says he then offered
his hand to the CONFERENCE.-The Attorney.
when that gentleman turned his back on
him. He then went ito tavern and asked
the crowd to drink at his expense; but only
his brother and one of the .jwymen accepted
the invitation.
The people of Greenbrier comfy have
held an indignation m citing and passed a
series of resolutions, which are published in
the Era, with this description of Thompson
appended:
DEscRIPTroN-Dr. Thompson is about $40, high
and slim; OF ssow brunette complexion, black air
and eyes; wears an engagement ring and is of a
