mittee be ordered By Congress- to inquire
into the facts Of the late election in Missis-
sippi."
Hon. Mr.. Hsughey, Of Alabama, offered
the following as q substitute III
"Resolued, That we pray Congress to an
thorize the Constitutional Convention of
Mississippi to reconvene without DELAY,
and organize a provisional government BY
appointing provisional governor, whose
duty it shall be to fill al the Offices in the

fourteenth article"

following:
RESOLVED, That Congress be earnestly So
licited to empower the Virginia Constitu-
tional Convention to vacate all the Offices in
the State now filled by persons disqualified
/. by the fourteenth constitutional amend
ment, and to fill the same with loyal men
and also TO authorize said Convention to
fix the time for the election postponed by
General Schoield, and to make all needfill
arrangements for holding said election"
Senator Wilson said he had prepared q
bill, which he intended TO offer, in which he
proposes that all persons holding Offices in
Mississippi as part Of the provisional 60
vernment shall be removed, and that all
persons voted for on the day of the last
election, if they can take the test oath,
shall be appointed to fill the offices, and
that the military commander execute the
order in said State without delay and this

otherwise ordered.

In referring to his last message, Mr..

and should not have been treated with
respect. In conclusion, he said he would
not, however, advise the adoption of the
resolutions at present.
Hon. Mr.. Hamilton, of Florida, moved
the adoption of the resolutions.
They were then adopted unanimously.

A STEPPISG-SToNE To PoslTIoN.-M.
De Sartiges, formerly the French Minister
at Washington, at present ambassador to
Rome, is about retiring from diplomatic
life. He owes his promotion to his wit. He
was in the office of the French Consul at
Bagdad when a small riot (Which was
promptly quelled) broke out. The French
Consul lost no time in writing a detailed
account of the scene to NJ Guizot, adding {:
" Thanks to my energy, your envoy escaped
the great dangers which he incurred" The
document was handed to NJ. De Sartiges to
be copied and forwarded; and he added,
over his signature, And | also es-
capped, fortunately, though | received blow
from stone in the back of my servant"
Guizot was pleased at the wit, and when he
read it to Louis Philippe, the King said !:
'Since the young man is so badly stoned
in Asia, you must make haste and give him
a mission in Europe" From that date
the diplomatic life of NJ. De Sartiges com
menced.

day from Tarzin, in Pomerania, where he
possesses a magnificent estate, purchased
last year, is excellent. All nervous affec-
tons have disappeared, and the Minister is
already able to make short excursions on
foot and in his carriage. For some days past
he has worked one hour daily, and the tele-
graph between Berlin and Vaarzin is in
constant activity. M. de Thiele sends him
every day long report about everything
that occurs. The King also has q daily
dispatch sent to him relative to the health
of his first Minister. His Majesty lately
wrote him long letter from Babelsburg,
the present royal residence, in which the
King, after having warmly congratulated
the Chancellor on his restoration to health,
expressed the pleasure he felt at his recent
journey to Hanover and Worms, and, above
all, the great satisfaction caused him by his
interview with the sovereigns of the South"

NEW ORLEANS, July 23.--The bill appro-
pria,ing special funds in the State Trea-
sury TO the payment Of the expenses of the
Legislature, which had been vetoed by the
Governor, was to-day passed over the veto
by both Houses.

troll of the State, municipal, and county
printing, and virtually empowers them to
establish one Republican paper in each
county of the State. Senator Jewell, of the

scribed, and pay the State bonus of 900
in gold yearly, and give bond in 100000 to
make his word good.
Senator Poindexter (colored Radically

bill on the ground that it was to support
the Radical party. ....

Gratis left the House.

LYNCH LAW IN THE WEsT-THE HANG
ING OF THREE MEN, Cincinnati, July 2l.-
The lynching of the Adams Express rob-
bers, near Seymour, last night, was pre-
meditated affair, and was occasioned by a
determination of the citizens of Jackson
and adjoining counties to rid themselves OF
as desperate gang of robbers and murder
ers as was ever known. A family named
Reno, it is alleged, are the leaders of this
gang, whose operations extend over the
West.
The Adams Express Company has been
repeatedly robbed by these men, who, get
ting on board the trains and overpowering
the messenger, or by taking possession OF
the engine and express car, and running of
the track, succeeded in making their escape
after accomplishing their designs. a rob-
berry of this kind occurred lately on the
Hamilton and Dayton railroad near this
city, whereby the American Express Com
pany was robbed Of large amount OF
money. The Reno family were leaders Or
instigators in this affair. They are also the
party who led the raid in Iowa last spring
when so many of the county safes were
robbed. On the 22d of May last the Adams
Express Company's car was robbed, eighteen
miles from Seymour, of 100000, in which
the Renos and their friends were the prin-
cipal actors, some of whom are now in
Canada to avoid capture, and others are
under arrest. On the 10th instant the
Adams Express Company was again at
tempted to be robbed about twelve miles
west of Seymour, but the armed guards of
the company repulsed the robbers, cap
tured one and wounded one of the others,
two of whom have since been captured, and
for the remainder large reward has been
offered.
Val. Elliott is one Of this gang, and was
captured on the night of the attempted rob-
berry. Charles Roseberry, a resident of
Seymour, and a pupil of Reno, was after
wards arrested by the citizens of Seymour:
Fred. Clifton was also arrested. They all
admitted their connection with the affair,
and for safe-keeping they were taken to
Cincinnati, where warrants were procured,
and they were put on the train of the OHIO
and Mississippi road last night, bound for
Browntown, the county-town of jackson
county. The train was stopped two miles
west of Seymour, and the men taken out
and hung, as already stated. Their bodies
were found at an early hour this morning
hanging to limbs of trees in the vicinity.
