l pointed for that purpose waited on
/ the President, and were authorized to
report to Congress that he had no fur
| tber communication to make.
Noon arrived, when the call was
interrupted by the fall of the Speakers
gaVel, and suddenly the clamOr of
the House was flushed in perfect si-
| lence, when the Speaker addressed
the House, returning grateful thanks
/ for the support of the House during
the session, referring to the fact that
| the House of this Congress was the
first for ten years in which all the
States were represented, and declaring
the Forty-first Congress adjourned
sine die. Applause in &he chamber
and galleries was general and long
sustained.
Senate.-The Senate, in executive
session this morning, was confined to
the Presidents nominations for the
Board of Public Works of the District
of Columbia; also, Geo. A. Black, for
Secretary of Utah Territory; James
Henry, for United States Marshal of
the Western District of Michigan;
Cornelius Hodges, for United States
Marshal Of the District of Montana;
G.. A. Bateman, for Indian Agent of
Nevada; John Clinton, for postmaster
at Brownsville, Tenn.
Mr.. Trumbull moved to proceed to
the consideration of the House joint
resolution repeating the duty on coal.
Agreed to.
A considerable discussion at once
ensued on motions made for an exec
utive session to take up private bills
for the purpose of consuming time
and defeating the bill.
Mr.. Trumbull protested against the
course Of the opponents Of the repeal
and appealed to his friends to stand
by the measure.
The galleries were crowded this
morning on the resumption of busi-
ness. Much interest was manifested
both in the galleries and on the floor
in the closing scenes, which, however,
were devoid OF special interest.
The bill for the abolition of the tax
on coal was laid aside to give way to
the bill for the relief of the Sisters of
Charity of Charleston, which was un-
der debate till the session expired.
The same subject was under consider
alton at the close of the preceding
cessiOn of this Congress, when, as on
the present occasion, it was defeated
by debate.
At ii am. Mes5rs. Morton and
Thurman, according to previous ap-
pOintment, reported having waited on
the President, and that the Executive
had no other communication to make.
Mr.. Bayard offered a resolution, re-
specttully rendering the thanks of the
Senate to Hon. Schuyler COlfax, Vice
President of the United States,
for the eminent ability, courtesy,
aud impartiality with which he
presided over the deliberations of
that body. Adopted without objec-
tiOn.
The hour of y o'clock, fixed by law
for the expiration of the session, hay-
ing arrived, the Vice President ad-
dressed the Senate, thanking them
for theira approval of his official course,
and declaring the Senate Of the Forty
first Congress adjourned sine die.

Chief Engineer Thompson, In his official re-

ception of orders in regard TO establishing a
line of couriers from Kennerville to Bouvet
Care crevasse, nothing official has been heard
up to this hour, 9P. NJ, from that point. This
is sure evidence, however, that no great
change for the worse has occurred. Early to-
morrow morninga party consisting of Gov
ernor Yarmouth, Mayor Flanders. Presld ent
McComb, of the Jackson Railroad. and other
officials, will visit the creyasse. Colonel Wal
ton, engineer of the Mexican Gulf coast, and
Captain Hatch, assistant State engineer, went

ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MARIoN.
rFRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
MARION 9. H. April 2

LT4t~-
MARION g.. H., April rs.
Perhaps it Is better to state the facts of an
attempted murder in our " county lest po-
litical malignity may pervert the truth and
charge Ku-Kluxism on US. A colored man,
whose name We have not yet been able to
learn, was brutally assaulted, and 80 badly
cut by another colored man that ne may pos.
sibly die. 1t was entirely q private quarrel
between the two about a colored woman. and
had nothing to do with politics. By. all &C
counts It was a most diabolical deed. The
wouli-be murderer requested his victim to
walk with him; went some distance quietly
until thew were on the centre Of. Buck Swamp
bridge, (near which they had camped to-
gether,) suddenly turned on the unsuspecting
man, cut his throat from ear to ear, and
pushed him into the water. The wounded
man succeeded in reaching the shore, was
found by some persons, attracted .thither py
his feeble call for aid, and taken to a neigh
boring house, where he now lies in q very dan
rerons condition. The villain who 30 nearly
Killed him has fled, 1t is believed, 10 North
Carolina.
Our county is quiet and we hope will re-
main so. We know that the better class and
great majority of or citizens earnestly de-
sire and are determined to follow that course
requested of US by the Democratic Congress-
men IN their address,.
The tax question will be considered and
acted upon ON next Monday. MARION.

and sold with their marvellous houses to East,
ern tourists. Their cells are totally unlike
ANYTHING else in nature; from three 10 eigh-
teen inches deep, with a waterproof lining,
coated over with a substance looking like
chamois skin, but as fne as silk velvet, with a
door or Lid which they close after them when
they 90 in, and when they have their young
they latch it, bolt it, and then seal 1t perfectly
water-tieht. They increase about one hun
dred and fifty fold annually.
