A GREAT CuRIosITY-A WHITE
DEER.-About four years ago pure
white deer was seen near Rice Lakes
in Anoka equity. Last week anothe
was seen nesr the same place and
efforts made to secure it. Three or
four days since a boy living in the
vicinity saw it again, and by good
management shot it dead, and bro't
it to this city, where it was purchased
by Robert Holgate, on jackson
street.
1t is pure milk-white, with pink
eyes and hoofs, and has not spot of
any other color on its hide. It
weighs seventy-fve pounds, and is
perhaps a year old. Mr.. Holgate
intends to stuff it for curiosity, which
it rs indeed.
This deer is q lusus natura. There
are no purely white deer in any part
Of the world, and this fawn is q mere
freak of nature, the same as q white
blackbird," or an albino.
1t is certainly . great curiosity. and
such an one as Barnum would give
hundreds tos slivs.--6t Paul Press:

HOUSE.


Washington, April AT the expiration
Of the morning hour. the House went into
Comm ittee Of the Whole and resumed the
consideration Of the National Bank bill.
Pendleton called up his motion to recon-
slider the vote by which the House diss-
greed to the Senate's amendment to the
Montana Territory bin. and asking . Com.
mittee Of Conference. He said the Senate
amendment, striking out the word "white''
was to give ne groes the right to vote in the
Territory. twas an amendment different
from what had heretofore been incorporated
in such bills, since the Republican party
came into power. This party had ignored
their presidents. His object was to give
gentlemen IN opportunity to determine
whether they were prepared to say that
negroes should have the same rights in the
territories a. white men. He, therefore,
wanted the House to adhere to its disagree.
ment.
Beaman, Of Michigan. would not srgue
the question, whether it was expedient that
negroes should vote or not, hut as the mat
ter stood, the House has already refused to
consent to the Sesats's amendment. and
ar poited . Committee Of Conference on the
subject. He moved to lay Mr.. Peniletop's
motion 10 reconsider on the table.
The motion Of Beausn Vas agreed to.

The House then resumed consideration Of
the Raritan & Delaware Railroad bill.
Sweat. from Maine. spoke against the bill,
believing it had no warrant ia the Coustit-
ution Or laws Of the country.
Harper, Of Massachusetts,, offered IN
amendment to the sixty fourth section Of
the National Bank bill, providing thst any
bank or banking association now organized

der articles Of association which prohibit
specific changes therein, may be changed

Hooper said the New York Bank of Com.
uerce desired to come under this law. It
had q capital Of 81 Q. o0e. 900 and had done
more to sustsin the government thsa any

During the debate some gentlemen regard
