Carlin, Tired Of Walking, Runs Away
TO Parts Unknown.

TROY, N. Y, November 19.-William
Carlin, the quasi pedestrian on the Island
Park Course, has utterly failed to accom-
plish his undertaking of walking one hun
dred miles in twenty-five consecutive
hours, commencing at O'Clock P. NJ. Of
the 18th, and ending at 4 o'clock to-day.
He maintained his credit we'll for period
of nine hours, accomplishing about thirty
six miles of the proposed feat, having
twenty eight minutesto spare. Proceeding
on the thirty seventh mile, be left the
judges, the witnesses, bystanders, and all
the interested spectators, in the lurch by
fleeing from the southern end Of the island
to parts unknown. The judges, thinking
from the delay that Carlin was losing too
much time, went in search of him, and
found that he had precipitately vamosed.
Nothing has been heard from him up to
this writing, and it is quite possible that he
became exhausted from the effects Of un-
dertaking a feat which be could not per-
form for want Of training. More than this,
be- did not care to meet the crowd who had
staked large sums of money pro and CON
in the matter. The rage of the crowd was
great when bis physical defalcation be-
came known. The bets are understood to
stand off.

WASHINGTON, November 21.-The gal

crowded to-day to their utmost capacity
with spectators, generally strangers.
The lobbyists are resting on their oars
because of the understanding that there
will probably be no legislation of import.
ance during the November session, as
fore'hadowed in these dispatches.
Last night an effort was made in the
House to prevent certain members of the
Tennessee delegation from taking seats,
based upon the precedent of last session
in the Kentucky cases. At the first blush
the Democrats were opposed to the reso-
luton upon the Same grounds they
opposed the action of the House in the
matter Of the Kentucky delegation, but
most of them finally became reconciled to
an inquiry as to the Tennessee delegation,
in order to test the consistency of the Re-
publicans in the application of the same
rule to both States so also with some Re-
publicans who were in the first instance
opposed to delay in giving seats to Stokes,
Butler, and Mullins, but at length joined
Mr.. Dawes, who advocated delay and in
quiry in the Tennessee cases upon the
rule applied at last session to the Ken
lucky delegation, Notwithstanding it was
agreed that the features of the controversy
were not exactly analogous.
There is reason to believe that at the
present session no general legislation of
Importance will take place; but from a
comparison of views of members it is
found they are almost unanimous in favor
of the repeal Of the cotton tax that a
majority are opposed to further contrac-
ton of the currency for the present and
that moderation of extremists will be
enforced by the counsels of the conserva-
tive members of the Republican party in
Congress.
1t is also probable that during the De-
cember session a bill will be introduced,
with strong probability of its passage, pro-
viding for postal and telegraphic system
embracing substantially the features of ex-

A Scene in the New York Gold
ROOm-COIOnel MOsby.

About noon yesterday q strange scene
occurred in the gold-room, on Broad
street. Sitting by the side Of the vice
president, Mr.. Hoyt, was person wearing
gray coat, who, it was whispered around,
was the ex.rebel chief "Jack" Mosby.
The breasts Of the loyal brokers burned
with indignation, which burst forth in the
shape of note, written by Mr.. j. B. Col
gate, and sent to Mr.. Hoyt, asking him if
the rebel Mosby was sitting at his side,
and, if SO, protesting against his being
there. On receiving the note, and glancing
over the contents, the vice-president read
it aloud, and then said Gentlemen,
allow me to introduce to you Colonel
Mosby." Mosby then arose, and was re-
ceived with mingled cheers and Kisses.
The brokers Of the New York Gold
Board were evidently never more di-
vided than on this occasion. While
some advanced to the Colonel to shake
him by the hand, others protested
against the proceeding by Loyalty shaking
their heads and gesticulating their indig-
nation. Amid the din and confusion the
following broken sentences might have
been heard "No place for traitor"
" AS muCu IlSuU GuClC 40 ouy DouJ SloOs
"Who have rendered themselves infamous
by their rebellious acts f'' "Colonel
Mosby was brave soldier" Good judge
of horses" "a better man never lived"
:" A worse was never hung" etc. These
delectabe and entertaining expressions OF
the difference of opinion in which MIR.
Mosby was held by the brokers present
were suddenly silenced by that worthy
leaving the room, and the vice-president
calling a special meeting of the Board,
when he desired to know whether or not
he was to be sustained in introducing his
friends into the room. Tableaux The
vice president was supported by the ma
iority, who endorsed his action in intro
ducing from his elevated position one OF
his friends Colonel Mosby, the ex-gue-
rilla chief,) to the loyal brokers of the
New York Gold Board.--Heraa.
A majority of the members invited him
to stay, and he stayed.-World.
