ers, trying to agree to do something.
| At II o'clock there was a crowded
audience. Half the Senators were in
their seats, while the rest were reading
and smoking in the ante-rooms.
Mr.. Doolittle finally declined to with
draw his motion.
Dir. Bigler made another appeal to
the Republicans to name the hour for a
vote, or to come to some other response.
No response was made; matters were
at a deadlock, and looked dull.
Mr.. Hammond said it was now past
eleven o'clock, and it was evident that all
the discussion that could be addressed
would not change one vote on either of
the questions before the Senate. 1t was
equally evident that no vote could be
taken at all tonight. They were mere
ly playing the schoolboy game of hard
knuckles" he moved to adjourn.
Motion lost-19 to 80.
The decision Of the Chair which per-
mitted Mr.. Doolittle to speak on the mer-
its Of the Homestead Bill, was submit
ted to the Senate, but not sustained.
Mr.. Doolittle therefore spoke on tax
ing up the Homestead Bill.
At midnight Mr.. Chandler attempted
to reply to the remarks of MIR. Toombs
respecting demagogues.
The Vice President ruled that he was
not in order.
Mr.. Toombs requested that the gentle
man might be allowed to go on.
Mr.. Fessenden appealed from the rul-
ing of the chair.
Mr.. Wilson moved to take up the bill
consolidating the Collection districts of
the United States.
Mr.. Brown said he would move as a
test vote to lay the Cuban bill on the Ia
bic, but, on request of Mr.. Seward, he
called instead for the yeas and nays, and
as test vote on Mr.. Wilson's motion.
Mr. Mason again moved to adjourn
Lost-20 to 80.
The appeal of lf. Fessenden was
then laid on the table.
Nr. Clark then spoke, after which 1Nr.
Doolitte's motion to take up the Home
stead bill was voted on and lost-yeas
10, nays %.
Yeas-Messrs. Broderick, Cameron,
Chandler, Clark, Collamer, Doolittle,
Fessenden, Foote, Foster, Hale, Hamlin
Harlan, johnson (of Tennessee), King,
Seward, Simmons, Trumbull, Wade, Will
son.
Nays-Nessrs. Allen, Bayard, Benja-

Douglas, Fitch, Green, Gwinn, Hunter,
lyerson, johnson (of Arkansas), Lane,
Mallory, Mason, Polk, Pugh, Reid, Rice,
Sebastian, Shields, Slidell, Toombs, Ward
Wright.
Mr. Mason moved to adjourn. 1t
was manifest that the Senate could do
nothing, and he feared the American
people would consider this humiliating
spectacle. Lost-20 to 30.
Mr. Brown moved to lay Mr. Wilson's
bill on the table. Agreed to-30 to Is.
Mr. Brown then proceeded to speak
on the Cuba bill. He was in favor of
the acquisition of the island peacefully if
possible, but foreibly if we must. He
would now move to lay the bill on the
table, as a test vote, but would vote
against his own motion.
The test vote was then taken, and the
motion was lost by yeas Is, nays 80.

NATURAL History SOCIETY-We
would call the attention of our readers to
the notice Of the meeting Of the Natural
History Society of this county. 1t is to
be held in this place on the 9th. If this
society has not accomplished all that such
a society could, in the time it has been
in existence, it is because the people of
the county have not taken the interest in
1t which they should. We hope to see a
well filed house and have an interesting
and profitable meeting, Why will not
our citizens turn out and help make it
so

PERLEY.
TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The COM
munity is thrown into an intense excite
ment to-day by the killing of Philip
Barton Key, the United States District
Attorney for the District of Columbia
at the hands of Daniel Z. Sickles. Ac-
cordlng to report, Mr.. Sickles BECOMING
convinced Of the truth of certain scand-
aious rumors involving his wife, resolved
to redress his wrongs.
About o'clock this afternoon. pro-
ceedirg from his residence, near the
Presidents house, to the southeast corn
er OF Lafayette Square, in the same
neighborhood, where Dir. Key was en-
gagged in conversation with Mr.. Bntter-
worth of New York, he charged Mr.
Key with having hishonored him and
destroyed his domestic peace, and shot
him with revolver. One of the balls
entered the left side of the body. and
passed through to the corresponding point
on the opposite side, lodging under the
skin.

Great excitement. Special Dispatch

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81.
This forenoon Dan. Sickles, member
of Congress for the city of New York,
shot Philip Barton Key, Attorney Cen
eral for the District of Columbia, and
son of the author of the Star Spangled
Banner" Mr. Key lived but short
time. The ARRAY took place in the vi
cinity of the Presidents house, in which
the parties reside. The
reported cause of this sad tragedy is fe-
male infdelity. Mrs. Sickles is very
like Mdlle Piccolomini in personal ap-
pearance, and report says has been
much INDUCED and petted wife. The
greatest excitement prevails.
