EIOIRE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Zj-9 A. M.-The
House is still in session.
11:}0 A. M.-The House is still in ses-
sion and precisely where il was at three
o'clock this morning, so far as business is
concerned. Most Of the members are COM
pletely worn out. Mr.. Butler is asleep in
his seat. and q score of members are
stretched on the sofas in the cloak rooms
and around the chamber. The clerk is
calling the roll in a dreamy tone.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts,, is the
leader of the Republican side, but while
the roll was being called, Mr.. Cessna, his
first lieutenant, took his place, Tallying and
strengthening his forces. The opposition
was led by Mr.. Randall, seconded by Mr..
Speer. The Speaker has occupied the
chair Throughout the session, deciding
promptly the many difficult points con-
stantly arising.
II M.-At this hour the House seems no
nearer out of its difficulty than al midnight.
When the question, whether the House
shall now consider the caucus force bill,
came to be voted on, the Democrats re-
Trained from voting, and the Republicans
could not keep in the hail a full majority
from their own ranks, the vote would show
that quorum Was not present, and then
there would be a call Of the House, with all
the tedious proceedings connected. When
these were all over and further proceedings
under the call were dispensed with, tue
House would come back to the real ques-
tiOn Of the consideration of the bill, and
again the Democrats would refrain from

Washlug tOn Special TO the New York Herald.
As matters stand now It is not improba-
BILE that the new Congress may be called.
The wise and moderate men in both par
ties do not desire it, and it may be dis
.cerued that the Democratic leaders dread
it. They are not sure Of their own men
and fear some b!undeTs which
would iuiuTe the party. The Re
publican politicians would like, On some
accounts, TO see the new Congress
called together. They say the Democrats
viii make extensive and probably damag-
ing investigations whenever they do meet,
and that il is better 10 have these finished
this year than carried over into the next.
They have also a strong balief that the
Democrats viii bluuder and thus help the
Republicans before the country. On the
other hand, there is some reason to believe
that the President Goes not desire to see
-he new Congress meet. If il IS called To-
gether soon after the 4lh Of March il may
quietly pass the necessary appropriation
bills and adjourn or is may continue IFS ses-
sion. IN the latter case it would probably
prove q thorn II the Presidents side. Il is
not. the ~efOTe. a clear advantage 70 the Re
Dublicans to call the new Congress tOgeth-
or. and it is not at all probable that they
can be united in q course which would
make the call necessary; but only ten days
more remain Of the session, and if the
Senate goes on in leisurely discussion Of
even the appropriation bills it viii not
complete its work. 1t Is pretty certain,
however. that efforts will be made to call
ND the Civil Rights bill, to renew the
struggle over Pinchback, and even to pro
cure some action on the Arkansas message.

NASHVILLE TENN. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY &c, 1876.

voting, and again in the absence of a quo
rum, another call of the House would be
entered on, and so on to the point of begin
ming. With all this, notwithstanding the
disgust of the leaders at being thus thwaTt-
ed in spite of the rule prohibiting dilatOry
motions, there was no exhibition Of III tenn
per on either side. Mr.. Butler took supper
at his desk.
P. M.-At this hour the dead lock con-
tinues. The time is consumed mainly in
calling the roll on motions, appeals, 70 lay
on the table, reconsider, etc. A motion to
adjourn having been made by a member on
the Democratic side, Mr.. Butler, of MaSSa-
chusetts, raised the point Of order that it
was a dilatOry motion.
The Speaker ruled it was not, and the
yeas and nays were taken on the question
of adjournment. The vote resulted: ayes
90, noes 154, so motion to adjourn was re-
jected.
Mr.. Hereford DEM, Of West Virginia,
then offered the following:
Resolved, the Senate eoncurring, that the
House adjourn to the first of March.
The Speaker decided it out of order, and
refused to entertain an appeal from bis de-
cisiOn, and ruled that on the pending mo-
ton TO suspend the rules, which has been
made by Mr.. Coburn, only two motions
can be entertained, viz: a motion TO ad-
jOurn and a motion to a fixed date.
Mr.. Eldridge then moved to adjOUn-to
Saturday, upon which theayeas and nays
were ordered. The result of the call was,
yeas 81, nays ia.
Mr.. COb0urn then moved to take up the
force bill, upon which Mr.. Eldridge raised
the question of consideration, and demand
ed the ayes and noes, which were again
ordered. The vote stood, ayes 10, noes SO.
Mr.. Eldridge then moved to reconsider
the vote by which the House agreed to con-
slider, and demanded the yeas and nays,
which were ordered.
The motion was defeated-yeas 161, nays
s..
The bill was then taken up and read.
After the bill had been read, Mr.. Nib
lack made the point of order that, mas
much as it provided for the creation Of Off
GERS, il should first be considered in COM
mittee Of the whole.
The Speaker refused to entertain the
point Of order, and Mr.. Niblack appealed.
Mr.. Conger moved to lay the appeal on
the table, upon which the ayes and noes
were demanded. The motion carried, yeas
l42, nays SO.
Mr.. COburn rose, at O'Clock, to open
the debate, but remarked that the time
which had been occupied in getting ready
had been so long, and every one was so
worn out, that il seemed almost impossible
to 60 on with the work necessary Tor the
bill this evening. He would yield to have
some amendments offered.
Amendments were thereupOn offered or
suggested by Messrs. Butler, of Massachu-
sets, Cannon, Hawley, Of Illinois, and Z.
r. HOar. The amendment Of the latter
was to strike out the lst, ID, and 4th sec
lions, and Of Mr.. Cannon TO strike out the
18th section.
Mr.. Conger then moved an adjournment,
stating that he did so at the request of
many members who had been sitting in
the hall over twenty-nine hours, without
sleep and without regular meals.
The motion prevailed, and the House ad-
jOuTned.

TIE KING OF sHIRrs.


s.. Moody, Of New Orleans, who died
recently by his own hand, while suffering
from an intOlerhble neuralgia attack, was q
singular man. He prOspered when LOuisi
ana was wealthy, ard he prospered when
Louisiana was as poor as a rat. The Sc
cret Of his continued success was adyertis-
ing. He knew how TO advertise, and the
duller the season the more persistently he
kept himself and his wares before the pub
lie. He was known as the ''Shirt King OF
the Southwest On every dead wall and
on nearly every telegraph pole, in the Mis-
sissippi valley, the wayfarer was invited
70 @get his shirts at S. n. MOOdy's." He
was a most liberal patron Of the daily
press, and by a thousand ingenious devices,
and in spite Of tremendous opposition, he
died, as lie lived, the super eminent and
pluperfeCt "King OF Shirts" Such was his
faith in tie necessity Of captivating the
fancy Of the people, and winning their at
tentiOn that it was seriously declared in
New Orleans, years ago, he offered $4,000
TO help pay for a new steamboat intended
for the St. Louis trade, provided he had
the naming of the craft. His offer was
promptly accepted, but almost as suddenly
declined when it became known that sect
Your Shirts at MOOdy's" was TO be the bap-
tismal appellatiOn. Col. Moody was a
thorough business man, but he lived in ell
egance and had many warm friends. It
may not be a very sublime ambition to Sc
cure a sort Of Immortality in connection
with the neither garment Of a man; but
out Of that common and not tO-be-despised
article of wear, MOODY became a rich mer-
chant, lived en- prince, and gave his chill
dren a frst-Class education, backed up by
all the advantages Of foreign travel.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN NEWS
PAPERS.
springfeII, Mass, Republican

Springfield, Mass, Republican
Although the English are not so univer-
sally a newspaper reading people rs the
Americans, the proportion of the former
who either cannot read OF cannot afford to
buy being much greater, the larger c0ncen-
tratiOn Of populations in Great Britain
gives the English press much greater circu-
laiiOn than ours can boast. Probably
one hundred thousand regular daily issue
is the highest attainment Of any American
paper and tie only papers that can boast Of
this are the Nelg York Sun and the Boston
Herald. Next to these comes the cheap
popular paper Of Philadelphia, the Ledger,
with eighty TO ninety thousand a day; and
after this we suppose the Nelg York Her
aid, with sixty to seventy. From these
figures there is a quick decent to from thir-
ty to forty thousand, between which rank
the NeIg York Tribune and the Times.
Alter these and between twenty and thirty
thousand may be placed the two leading
Chicago papers-the Tribune and Times
the boston Journal and the Cincinnati
Commercial. Where the Baltimore Sun
comes in, we do not know; quite likely,
hOEever, it ranks alongside or Just below
the Nelg York Herald, with forty OF fifty
thousand daily.
But this embraces all the daily papers in |
the country having over twenty thousand |
regular circulation. The London papers |
present much larger figures. The Daily !
Telegraph, a paper larger than the Nelg !
York Tribune, and sold for one penny or |
two cents, has a circulation the last year /
averaging 10000 daily; the Standard, a |
paper Of similar size and pTetensions and |
price, comes next with considerably over |
100000. Third in the list is the DGily |
Netrs, the liberal paper, a large, penny |
quartO, and printing from seyenty-Eve to |
eighty thousand regularly. The great /
Times, ranking first in power and influence |
and charging the exceptional price Ofthree |
pence or six cents, stands forth in circula-
ton, and prints from forty 70 fifty thOus-
and daily. Several small evening papers !
also have very large eirculatiOns. One Of
these, the Echo, is sold for half a penny, |
or one cent, and prints many thousand, |
and is profitable enterprise. Some Of the |
weekly papers in London 1
also have enormous circulatiOns-One, the /
lloyd Weekly Journal, going up to the /
hundreds of thousands. OF the provincial |
journals, those Of Manchester are the best
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1875-02-26

and have large eirculations, about as large
as the Boston Journal and the best Chica-
90 papers. The Edinburg and Liverpool
and Birmingham papers, though much
poorer in quality, also have Calculations
equal to our most popular provincial news
papers.
All the materials Of newspaper making
are much cheaper in England than they
are here-the writing, the editing, type
setting, the paper, telegraphing-eyery-
thing, while the papers themselves are less
enterpriSing and multifariOus in their char
acter.
