virginia Democratic Convention.

RICHMOND, February F.-Thsre were no
further proceedings last night, except the ap-
pointment of committee on tho con
gratulatory dispatch from Connecticut.
This morning, tho vote taken on last nights
resolution to admit as delegates all the Dom
ocrats now here from counties not otherwise
represented, was decided In tho sfRrmstivs.
This was q triumph for the friends Of Wise,
and great cheering followed the announcement
Of the result.
The following resolution was introduced BY
Gen. Chapman:
Resolvsd, That IL is the opinion of this Con-
vention that Henry A. Wise Is the choice Of
the Democratic party Of this State for the
Presidency. e'tl 9A
W.D. Wallack, as a substitute, resolved
that this Convention pledges itself to support
any national ticket that shall be nominated
according to the usages Of the party.
A substitute for both resolutions was intro
duced, declaring, in effect, that IL is inexpedi.
ent for this convention to declare preference
for any Of tho distinguished gentlemen who
have been named in connection with the
Presidency; but that II is expedient TO declare
that the Democracy Of Virginia will give their
support to the Charleston nominee, The reso-
luton, and the substitutes were discussed at
length, but no definite action was taken on
them.
The Committss on the Connecticut resolu-
ton reported the following 10 answer thereto,
which were unanimously adopted: s =
Rssolvsd, That the Democracy Of Virginia
have received with heartfelt grAti6cAtion the
kind message Of the Democracy Of Connect

that tho efforts Of Ccnnscticut may avail 70

The Lihrary Tax.

The arguments submitted by some Of the
Hamilton County membsrs Of the General
Assembly in favor Of tho repeal or suspension
of the library tax-bscauss this county helps
to provide fund 70 educate children in coun-
ties hsving more children and less wealth
are causing several Of those who had favored
repealto oppose the pending bill. They claim,
and wisely, too, that such an objection would
justify change in the school law ITSELF which
would be fatal to it. The wealth OF the State
Is taxed at uniform rate, and tho fund is dis
tributod uniformly to tho children in all dis
tricts, poor or rich alike. Each child In tho
State is entitled alike to the benefit Of the
General School Fund.

New Planet.

Another planet has BEEN msppsd in the
clear upper sky. "Le vsrisr's skill OWNED
his distant ray" DR.. Lsscarault, an humble
observer, near ChMtres, France, on the 10Th
of March last, detected it as black spot pass
ing over the suns disc, which he calculates to
be distant thsrefrom seven degrees, or ton
millions of miles--over ons-third nearer than
Mercury, the planet hitherto known as near
est the sun. Some astronomers consider the
asteroids to bs fragments Of large planet
which has been shivered into pieces BY some
great internal explosion, or on external shock;
forty Of them have been discovered and named
since 1900. Others recognise thsm as inde-
pendent bodies. With Hsrsehsl ws may ssy,

NEW YORK, February 17.--The steamer
Kangaroo arrived at an early hour this morn

Liverpool on the LIST and Queenstown on the

previously received, yet they contain some
points of interest.

The letter fills two columns and quarter.

TALLY oeoasioned by the receipt of 100000
Australian gold by the Success, which was this
day sold for expectation, but In the discount
Office in tho bank to-day the demand was OK
tremely heavy, and the disorganisstion Of the
discount market was more complete than at
any period since the autumn Of 1857. In all
quarters money was tight, and many Of the
ordinary channels OF accommodation were
completely closed. Some Of the principal es-
tablishments to-day declined to take bills
even from the regular customers. Large par

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
XxxvIth CONGREss-lst SESSION

WASHINGTON, February II.
SENATE.--Not in session to-day.
H0UsE.-Mr. Fouke introduced O bill to
incorporate the United States Agricultural So
ciety. Referred to the Committee on the Dis
trict of Columbis.
Mr.. Miles rose to a question Of privilege,
saying that the House, at the last session, had
positively ordered tho chairs and desks then
IN use to be removed from the HALL but not
withstanding this he noticed, to-day, that in
contemptous disregard Of the order, the floor
has been docked up with the e.introduction Of
the same chairs and desks. The Doorkseper
had no right TO bring them in. He called on
the Speaker to enforce the rule. This blend
ing Of both systems had tho advantage of
neither and the disadvantage of both.
Mr.. Maynard asked whether Mr.. Miles was
willing that the sense Of the majority should
bs expressed without objection.
Mr.. Miles was perfectly willing.
Mr.. Washburne, of ILL.,, as one Of the squat
tar sovereignty, said that he was responsible
for bringing in the seat and desk he now oocu-
pied.
Messrs. Rust, Conklin and McCIernand made
q similar declaration as to their seats and
desks. They, as did also Mr.. Harris, of Md,
explained that no blame should rest on the
Doorkeeper, and assigned as their reasons for
reintroducing their desks and chairs, that there
were not accommodation for one-tenth Of the
House at the large table outside the bar.
Mr.. Miles was happy TO exonerate the
Doorkeeper from blame. He was sorry that
any gentleman had undertaken indirectly TO
put aside standing rule of the House. Ho
thought, however, that the Doorkeepor ought
to have Stsrnly resisted the importantly of
members.
Finally, special committee Of three was
ordered to inquire into the expedlency Of re-
moving the benches and replacing the chairs
and desks, and to report the cost and time the
change will occupy.
Mr.. Keitt, from the joint committee to make
arrangements for inapgurating Mills's eques-
trian statue OF Washington, reported joint
resolution appropriatiDg $4,000 to defrsy the
expenses Passed. 4
Mr.. Sherman moved that the election of
Printer DO further postponed till Monday.
Agreed TO.
The House passed the Senate resolution Civ
ing the consent of Congress for Captain
Shubrick to accept tho sword rendered him
from President Urquizs, of the Argentine
Confederation, as . mark of his appreciation
Of the distinguished character Of that officer.
The Senate bill to abolish the franking
privilege was read.
Mr.. Vallandigham moved to refer 1t to q
special committee, that the House may haYo
all the facts.
Mr.. Stephenson preferred that the bill be
put on its passage now, but he would have no
being referred to the Postofice Committee.
/ Mr.. Houston said the bill involved no
new principles. He desired to keep 1t in
