We were shown yesterday in the houses
of COwan, McClung & Co., and P. Dickin-
son & Co, some sheetings just received
from the new cotton factory at Nashville,
Tennessee. This domestic is of firm,
smooth thread, compactly and evenly
woven, well folded and pressed, and alto

This is very encouraging to our Nash
vile friends who have some $500, 600 in
vested in their cotton factory, and we trust
they may be able to keep their goods up to
first samples sent out. There is no earthly
reason why Tennessee should not have her

enterprise at Nashville is, we trust, the be-

Gen. Pennenacker.

A gentleman of this city has received a
letter from Gen. G. Pennepacker, whose
name has been mentioned as a candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, stating that
he will not become a candidate for that
Office, giving as his reason for declining, his
attachment to the military service in which
he is now engaged. Our citizens have no
desire to see the position OF post command
ant which be once held here, and to which
he intimates he will soon return, filed by
another person. His uniform courtesy and
kindness to our citizens has gained for him
respect and appreciation.

Convention was called to order at noon.
Speaker Rutan of the House was selected
temporary chairman. The nomination of
Mr.. HartTanft for governor is confidently
predicted as he has So delegates in the con-
yention.
The committee on resolutions reported
series of resolutions, the first referring to the
devotion to the principles of the republican
party. The second declaring that the sdop-
ton of the 18th, lIth and 18th constitutional
amendments have not been acquesced in by
all so as to render secure and permanent
their incorporation in that instrument. The
third sustaining the policy of protection and
against the further appropriation of public
land to corporations or individuals. The
fourth demands the continued reduction of
the public debt, economy in the national and
State administration, and the reduction of
taxes rapidly consistent with the pub
lie credit. The fifth that internal taxes shall
be removed before reduction of tariff on
foreign goods, and that in any change the
tariff tax on tea and coffee be removed. The
sixth approves the Presidents civil service
reform, and that this or some other system
have fair trial, and declares that the repub-
lican party has given full evidence of its

and support. The seventh points with pride
to the records of President Grants Admins
tration. Not only has internal taxation been

has been paid off, the result of which we are

Forty Second Congressional Session,
WAsHINCToS, 10.
House.

w WASHINGTON, ~.
Mr.. Hill reported a bill abolishing the
frank ng privilege after the first of July
1878.
Mr.. Carol opposed the bill and offered an
amendment excepting public documents and
petitions to Congress.
Mr.. Potter regarded it as buncomb and of
fered an amendment that the depart
nents and clerks of the House be furnished
with stamping machines.
Mr.. Butler opposed the bill saying that the
cutlery for it came only from Metropolitan
new spapers who are anxious to be the only
organs of communication between the people
and their representatives.
Metropolitan papers were anxious to crowd
out and crush down small local papers
throughout the country, and to have in their
own hands the fame and position of every
public man, so that by their associated tele-
graphs and their associated ISLANDERS and
scandals they can crush down the public men.
He had voted for like bill in the last Con-
gress, but with the same understanding on
which all other members done SO, that the
Senate would not pass it and that it would
be all right.
Mr.. Sargent moved that the bill and amend
ment be recommitted.
Mr.. Holmes-With the power to report at
any time.
Mr.. SARGENT do not consent to that.
Mr.. llolmes-I call for the yeas and nays
on the motion to recommit the bill, because
that kills the bill.
Mr.. Sargent-The bill is in such a position
now that the House cannot pass it until it has
been disentangled.
The yeas and nays were not ordered, only
thirteen members rising to order them, and
an effort to have teller's orders on the yeas
and nays was also a failure, at which
there was much laughter in the House. The
bill was then recommitted.
The House then went into committee on
the legislative appropriation bill.
SENATE.
Mr.. Sherman moved to refer to the COM
mittee on elections the message returning the
Senate tariff bill. He said that the power of
the Senate to amend a revenue bill in any
way it thought best had been disputed now
for the first time in the history of our gov
eminent. The committee on finance had
considered the subject and had agreed unani-
mously that the Senate had the same right
to amend revenue bill as to amend any
other bill, but as the rights and privileges of
the Senate involved this. He thought it best
to send this matter to the commtte on priv
ileges and elections. 1t was so referred.
