sideration of various propositions for aid.
The omnibus bill reported on Saturday

cred
In the House a bill looking TO change in
the method of electing congressman, was in
troduced.
The States were called and a number Of bills
reported.
Judge Jtff4rd of the Supreme Court Of Mis-
sissippi on behalf of himself and number Of
others, representing that portion of the Re-
publican party of that State opposed to the
constitution, presented an address to the Re
construction Committee to- day in the shape OF
a protest, which proposes that the offices shall
be declared vacant; that Provisional Governor
shall be appointed, who shall fill all vacancies,
and have the power OF removal; that all the
provisions of the constitution more proscriptivc
than the Reconstruction acts shall be stricken
out and asking that an election shall be held

COMPLAINED OF. Many citizens who use
St. Asaph street as thoroughfare are COM
planning because that rather narrow causeway
is almost entirely blocked up, at its intersection
with King street, by double row of non-used
passenger and freight cars belonging to the
W., A. & G. II. II. Co. People in various
parts of the city also find cause of complaint
in the omission of the watchmen to light up
the lamps on dark nights on some of the most
frequented streets.

YESTERDAY temperature yesterday
was comparatively mild, and though slightly
cloudy in the morning, it cleared off in the
evening, and the sun sank below the horizon
in beautiful sky. The churches we're attend
ed By large congregations. A temperance ad-
dress was delivered at the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, at night by the Rev. DR..
Hough. At the Friends Meeting House, in
the evening, discourses were delivered by Sam
uel NJ. Janney and Chalkley Gillingham. The
Rev. DIR. Mitchell, of Lynchburg, occupied
the pulpit of the Second Presbyterian Church,
and DR.. Walker, of the Theological Seminary,
that of Grace Church. The pulpits of the
other churches were filled by the resident cler-
gy. The city was remarkably quiet all day,
all the bar rooms being apparently closed,
though several persons were on the streets
who had evidently drank something stronger
than water. 1t was supposed, however, that
they he'd brought the forbidden article with
them from Washington, as they hailed from
that city. The existence of several travelling
bars (men with bottles in their overcOat p0ck-
ets) in the suburbs. was made known to some
of the county constables, but, as the Sunday
Equor law is municipal ordinance, no notice
was taken of the information. 1t was said
that one place where liquor is retailed was
open in this city, but no warrant has as yet
been issued against the party keeping it.

EXCITEMENT. -Considerabl excitement was
created on King street this morning by the
headlong speed with which dog, to whose tail
was attached an inflated beets bladder, madly
dashed up that thoroughfare. The broad ex-
panse of Fairfax county was his apparent des-
tinatiou as he fitted past the reporters eye,
and 10 reaching that gaol no human obstruc-
ton was offered, as all he met in his wild career
cleared his way and urged him onward.
