SEsArr.-Mr. Wilson submitted resolu
ton, which lies over, requesting the Presi
dent to inform the Senate whether the re
ported reply Of General Smith, refusing I,
protect the citizens of Leavenworth from
bands of armed marauders was true, and /
so, whether such reply was authorized by in
structions from the President or Secretary
of war.
The Senate passed six private bills, ant
one for the compulsory prepayment of post
age on all printed matter. A motion wa!
then made that the Senate adjourn unit
Monday. Mr.. Adams asked the ayes ant
nays on this motion, but they were not or
dered, only four Senators seconding the call
Mr.. Adams remarked that it was extraordi
nary that such motion should be made
within three weeks of the termination OF the
session, and when there was so much bust.
ness yet to be acted on.
It seems as if Senators were afraid to re-
cord their votes on the question to adjourn
over.
Mr.. Toombs answered that nobody was
afraid, but the Senate was now far ahead Of
the house, and if they sat but three days in
the week, it would be just as well for the
country. He did not bclieve there was a
single bill on the whole calendar that ought
to pass.
The motion to adjourn till Monday was
agreed to by % to

three-fourths of an hour, returned verdict
of acquital. The announcement was receiv-
ed with manifestations fjoy and delight and

Walkers structure, and which was O. jected
to by the other counsel for Mr.. Herbert
Ex-Mayor Lem x, who was standing near,
was overheard by Mr.. Radcliffe to observe
that that was unfair and unjust. Mr.. Rad
cliffe sharply said in reply: They want no
outside interference here, and in the course
of hurried colloquy that ensued Mr.. Lenox
called Mr.. R. liar. Mr.. R. Immediately
dashed at Mr.. Lenox, but Mr.. Bradley quick
ly interposed and prevented collision
Subsequently Deputy Marshal Phillips made
a complaint before Justice Thompson, who
was on the premises, that he had reason to
believe that Radcliffe had sent challenge
and Lenox had accepted.
Mr.. R. was forthwith arrested and held
to bail in $4,000 not to fight duel. A
warrant was served on Mr. Lenox who has
baled to appear.

E&-On Sunday last the body ofa young
woman was found in the woodsa few miles
from Detroit, bearing such marks of violence
as to leave no doubt that she had been MUIR
dered. On examination by the Coroner, it
proved to be that of a girl who had been liv-
ing in house Of bad repute in Detroit un-
der the name of Emma Smith," On the
Both of June she was known to have ridden
out with man named Frederick Haynes
and was never seen alive after that time. The
motive for the murder is supposed to have
been desire to get possession of the jewel
ry upon the person Of the unfortunate girl.
Haynes left Detroit soon after the murder,
but has been traced to Syracuse, N: Y. and
officers are on his track.
