expectation the debate ran through most
protracted session yesterday, an adjourn
ment not taking place until after o'clock
in the evening. The feature of the debate
has been q speech from Gen. Butler in sup
port of the policy of the administration,
and q fierce one from Gen. Logan, in
support of the Cuban cause. The former,
with an attempted dramatic effect, futtersd
before the House some Cuban bonds which
he said he had forced from some newspaper
correspondents, but what ones he was not
kind enough to mention, and on these he
built up gigantic story that two millions
of dollars Of these bonds were held by the
lobby to influence the legislation of Con-
gress in behalf of free Cuba. lie also au-
thoritatiYely denied that Caleb Cushing
wrote the Presidents message-an an
nouncement received with very genera
astonishment.
Gen. Logan, however, gave Butler
fearful excoriation for attempting to fright
en- members with the Cuban lobby story.
declaring that his conduct was unmanner-
ly, most outrageous line OF conduct toward
his fellow members, sentiment that re-
ceived round of applause from the gal
leries. After the debate closed and the
House was about to proceed to vote, Judge
Bingham, of Ohio, submitted a substitute
for the majority and minority reports,
which proposed merely to authorize the
President to take steps tosecure a humane
conduct Of the war in Cuba, and to invite
the cooperation of foreign powers to Sc
cure that end, leaving out even an indirect
recognition of belEgereney. 1t was well
understood among members on the floor
that this was compromise agreed on by
the Administration to head the split in the
Republican ranks, and after spirited con-
test, the House, by q bare majority, de-
cided that it should be received.
Some of the friends of the Banks reso-
lutions moved to adjourn, v hich, if carried,
would have killed the whole subject by
sending it to the bottom of the calendar.
This was considered as test, and was lost
by large majority. 1t having now be-
come evident that vote would be forced
on Bingham's substitute, the Republicans
all wheeled into line and carried an ad-
journment in order to gain time for little
caucusing before a final vote to-day. Since
the adjournment the administration Re-
publicans are confident that they now will
triumph and throw overheard the Banks
resolutions There has not been more ex-
citement over the political situation this
session. a- @ -s.lal1-

More OF tEe SlOughterh0usc Coses
NEW ORLEANS, June 14.-In the case
of the Injunction in favor of the Slaugh-
terhouse Company by the Eighth District
Court, rendered nugstory by the decision
of Judge Bradley, came up this morning.
On motion of Judge Dibble, he said he
desired to have the matter argued, and
that the testimony of witness would not
bear weight or legal scrutiny, and that 1t
could not be shown him that it had been
imprudently issued, and he would not dis
solve it. But, if after the argument he
was still of the opinion that it had not
been imprudently issued, he would see
that the order of his court was obeyed by
Judge Bradley or any other Judge of the
United States Court to the contrary not
withstanding,
He reprobated in unmeasured terms
what he considered unwarrantable acts of
Judge Bradley, and declared that they
were revolutionary in their character and
subversive of all law and order. lie
wished it understood that the order of
his court, based upon the order of the
highest tribunal of the State of Louisi-
ana, would be obeyed and executed at
all harzards, even if it were necessary to
apply to the tfoOps and navy of the
Federal government. If conflict had
to come between State and Federal courts
let it come, and let revolution decide
whether or not State lines were to be en-
tirely blotted out and ignored by the
simple dictum of single Federal judge
The case was then argued, after which
Judge Dibble said that in view of the
magnitude of the question involved he
would defer his decision until Monday.
He said that from Judge Bradley's decIs-
ion Wendell Phillips construction of the
government was true and the States re-
duced to mere counties. Dibble lost o
leg at Port Hudson fighting against the
doctrine of State rights.

The staff of Life.

New YORK, June 16.-The excitement in
our market for -four and wheat, yesterday,
was something remarkable. The sales of
wheat considerably exceeded three hun
dred thousand bushels. The French were
large buyers, and their presence in the
market led to an active speculation. A
further large advance is not improbable
Great Britain, as appears by late circu-
lars is not getting any foreign wheat, ex-
cept from the United States. The demand
at this market for the Continent has inter
rupted her supplies, and she viii soon feel
the want Of them, but the most important
fact is the falling of of the receipts at the
Lake ports, which according to the statis-
tics were for the week ending June IL,
90, 200 bushels wheat and 1900 barrels
-four, or reducing the flour to wheat equal
to 300, 900 bushels wheat less than for the
corresponding week last year. This in con-
nection with an increased demand can
hardly be overestimated

Advertising Agencies.

Among the new businesses which have
sprung into existence during the past ten
years, and which go far to show the pro-
gressive spirit Of the age, is that of adver-
Using agencies While many Of them have
proved themselves anything but beneficial
to the publishers Of newspapers, there are
honorable exceptions, and among them we
take pleasure In putting first on the list the
firm of Griffin & Hoffman, of Baltimore.
These gentlemen have not only proved
themselves valuable adjuncts to the news
papers throughout the country, by their
strict integrity and attention TO business,
but great help to the mercantile com
munity of Baltimore in introducing them
TO the people of the South through per-
feet system Of advertising IN reliable papers
In this section. The houses in Baltimore
which have pursued liberal system of sd-
vertising have been hansomely rewarded.
The Baltimore Gazette, In an article on the
subject of advertising, pays deserved
compliment to Messrs. Griffin Il Hoffman.
Its remarks on the benefits to be derived
by the merchants of Baltimore from 9
liberal system Of advertising are admirably
adapted to every mercantile community.

New YORK, June 16.- The Worlds Ha

permission to communicate with any one
outside. He was on his way from Vera
Cruz to New York, and had touched at Ha-

of the outrage reached the ears of Consul
General Biddell and possibly something
may be done about it.

HAMBLEN COUNTY.
Fron. the Morristown Gazette.

The county of Hamblen was named in
honor of the late Hezeklah Hamblen,
Esq, Of Hawkins county. Mr.. Hamblen
was born in Prince Edward County, Va,
July Is, 1775, and resided there until -
years of age, when he came to the from
tier settlement of Tennessee, then Haw-
kins county, nine miles west of Rogers
vile to live with an elder brother.
He served three tours of militia duty in
the years 1892 8 in the Cherokee wars,
and was engaged as a school teacher and
clerk until 1904, when he settled on Caney
Creek, five miles west of Rogersville,
where he lived until his death, Jan. %,
1856.
While in Virginia and during his youth
fulness, Esquire Hamblen was kept con
stantly at school by his mother, who was
q widow woman in moderate circum-
stances, his father having died when
young Hamblen was quite small. After
he came to Tennessee his opportunities to
acquire an education depended upon his
own energy, and by means of close appli-
cation, he obtained good English educa-
ton. He was great mathematician and
geometriciap, and was for number of
years the County Surveyor of his county.
He also served as Justice of the Peace
for many years, and until the Constitu-
ton of '34 was adopted. He possessed q
great legal mind, and such was his uni
versally acknowledged information in the
law that he was frequently consulted by
litigan,s as well as members of the bar.
He was kind and affable, plain, without
deception. He died as he liyed-hon-
ored and respected by all.
