The Amnesty Bill.


closed on Friday evening in the House
of Representatives, and the bill was
finally defeated by the Republicans
under the leadership of Mr.. Blaine,
who has during the discussion dis
played a fine capacity for maintaining
a fierce contest with the large Demo
cratic majority, under Kendall and
Hill. His thorough knowledge OF the
intrieaciesof parliamentary law gave
him a great advantage over his adver-
saries. and when it was supposed that
Randall. by moving the previous ques.
ton, had the minority under his
thumb and choked of all amendments
and debate, Blaine quietly slipped
from under the control of his willy OPP
ponent, by availing himself of the
priviIegeto move a reconsideration Of
the vote, conferred in the rules allow
ing one of the minority TO move such
a reconsideration, when such minority
has prevailed, as 1t had in defeating
the Amnesty bill. This unexpected
movement startled the Democrats. IT.
gave Mr.. Blaine the right to be heard
in despite of his opponents, and he

Editors OF the Register:
In looking over your valuable paper
of the 2Sth of July, we noticed the fol-
lowing insertion: "Bear in mind that
Richie county voted solid with the
Third district in favor of the capital re-
moval question" You must have q
very small idea of what it takes to make
up Richie county. Richie county as
mass is, and will always be, against re-
moval, and these who attend conven-
tions, whether they be Radicals or Dem
ocrats, and cast their votes for removal,
do not reflect the will of the majority
yes large majority. The Radical meu,-
bcrs from Ohio county in attendance on
the convention at Parkersburg, failed TO
do their duty in not denouncing the
minority report of their district members
in terms not to be understood,
Where was Archy, tho indomitable.
self-sacrlficing Archy-who but few
months ago was SO loud in his den"ncid-
ton of those who favored removal. The
echo answers where? What a striking
difference is noticeable to those who had
the proceedings OF the Charleston Con-
vention and the Parkersburg Convention.
La the former the Ohio county delega-
ton met the issue squire, and denounced
il in terms suitable 10 tho occasion, whilst
the latter squatted and trembled under
the Third district lash. 1fSturgiss had
been in the Charleston Convention and
had given vent to his feelings, as he did
in the Parkersburg Convention, it would
have been so hot for him that there would
not have been enough sound flesh upon
him 10 make spot, such rs he desired
to have made upon those who
would not, as he thought, submit to his
dichm. But we say, go 1t. When
thieves fall out, honest men generally get
their Just dues" We shall expect that
in tho coming election Ohio, Brooke,
Hancock and Marshall will do their
whole duty, and send such rebuke to
those who have so outragcously mlsrep-
resented the majority Of the First and
Second Congressional districts, and we
NAV add the Third district also (Chsrles-
ton cxcepted), that they will have cause
| to lament and mourn over their folly the
rest of their lives. Richie will rebuke the
insult offered her in the convention at the
coming election. Her watchword will
be from now until after the election.
"Stand from under"
Our crops arc good, so far as We have
| been able TO learn.
Politics warm; Democracy sure.

A Negro Fiend Lynehed.

ST. LOUIS, July 3l.-A Globe Demo
crai Leaven worth special says, Raphael
Williams, colored, ravisbed white
woman named Mrs. Davis, at her own
house, at Camden Point, Missouri, last
Thursday, under peculiarly painful cir
cumstances. He was arrested next day and
lodged in Jail at Platte City. This
morning about one o'clock about l20 or
13O armed men entered Platte City,
placed pickets around the Jail to prevent
interference by the citizens, and five of
the party went to the Jail door and
reused the sheriff, who they seized, and
obtained the cell keys from the deputy
sheriff, unlocked Williams cellput rope
round his neck and dragged him out.
He was then taken to tree near the
railroad depot and hanged, after which
the mob quietly dispersed. When the
body was cut down this morning, by the
coroner, a placard was found pinned to
it bearing the statement that owing TO
the inetficiency of the laws OF Missouri in
providing for the punishment of such
malefactors, the avengers, who numbered
among them some of the oldest and most
respected citizens OF Platte county, had
deemed it advisable 10 take the law in
their own hands, and administered the
justice in this case So richly deserved.
Mrs Davis, who WAS e1cientc at the time
Of the outrage, has since had miscar-
riage, and now lies at the point of death.

Ope of tho nominees of the Republl-

the Supreme Court of Appeals, is FLICK.
Everybody about here knows who FLICK
IS, for when member of the Legislature
which held its sessions in this city, he
held no very high opinion of our
people, and didn't hesitate TO say
so. And the result was, our
people came to reciprocste his
feelings: they didn't have a very
hi,h opiuion of FLICK, and won't hesl'
tate TO SAY so. Therefore, the people OF
Wheeling will no, be surprised when we
tell them that FLICK, a candidate Tor a
position on the Supreme Bench OF the
state, has taken the stump in his own be-
half and in behalf Of the Radical ticket.
Last Friday night, the Repub,

Suicide OF an Arkansas state Sen.

LITTLE Rock, July 3l.-Hon. J. NJ.
Laughborough, State Senator from this
district, was found dead in the hall of
his house by servant, about ! O'Clock
this afternoon, shot through the heart.
| He had been at his law office during the
morning attending to his business rs
usual, and went home about ~ o'clock,
apparently IN good health, though he
had been quite unwell last night. The
evidence adduced before the cor
oner's jury showed that al
ter reaching home, he went
up stairs to his bedroom, took his shot

the hall, and under temporary aberrs.
tion of mind, or by accident, shot him.
self through the heart. HIS family was
away from home, at st. Louis, and he
was alone at the time. His body was
discovered on the floor, lifeless, soon after
the fatal shot when his servant went up
to his room TO call him 10 dinner. The
alarm was given, and Immediately there
was rush of citizens to the
residence of the deceased, so great
that sentries were placed at
the gate by the sheriff, to prevent their
entrance. The most profound sensation
prevails throughout the city, as Col.
Laughborough was regarded as one of
the leading men of the state, and the
leader of the State Senate. His loss is
considered almost irreparable. For many
years he had been connected with the St.
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Rail-
road as land commissioner, position he
recently vacated, and commenced the
practice of law in this city. He was the
attorney of the company at the time of
his death All classes of the community
mourn his loss.

BLAINE has found fire in his rear in
Maine, at the very moment the CALp-
WELL letters to his cousin, Mrs General
SHERMAN. have given him the vantage
over the Judiciary Committee. The
Republicans Of the Portland district
break up into ''snti" and BLAINE, and
the 'anti,n resolve that the exclusion OF
BuRLEIaH, the reiormer, from renomins
tion TO Congress when his voice and
vote had been consistently for reform,
confirmed the charge Of the ST. Louis
platform that the party opposes reform.
BuRLzIaH is the Republican who helped
10 find out RosEsoS's rascality, while
his fellow psrtzans could find no
time for the work. 1t tlooks very much
as if the breAsof' Republican partyism is
not only 70 be sudden, but perfectly
overwhelming. From all appearance
the tidal Of 1876 will be but sligh'
frsshst in comparison.

HOUSE.

Immediately after the reading of the
Journal, consideration was resumed OF
the reports of the Committee OH Naval
Affairs, and Mr.. Withorne advocated
the majority report.
The resolution reported by majority
of the Naval Committee, referring the
case of the Secretary Of the Navy to the
Judiciary Committee, was adopted.
The minority resolution was negstivedi
yeas SO, nays. ll5.
Under call of the states a number Of
bills were introduced and referred.
I. Mr.. Randall, chairman of the Commit
tee on Appropriations, reported bill
sppropriating Sl50,O0O for the purchase
OF Indian supplies, until the regular In
dian appropriation bill became law,
and to authorize their purchase in open
market. Passed He also reported II
bill extending appropriations Tor various
departments of the Government until
August. Passed.
The Speaker laid before the House a
message from the President, pointing
out some of the defects in the sundry
civil appropriation bill, in making mad
equata provision for some branches OF
the public services and none ut all for
other branches, among tho former being
the civil service, light houses, revenue
| cutter service and public buildings, aud
among the latter being the proposition
of the government for the expenses Of
| the District of Columbia, for
judgments of the Court of Claims,
Tor the examination of rebel records,
&c. He did not feel warranted IN vetoing
an absolutely necessary appropriation
bill, but in signing il, he deemed it TO be
his duty TO show where the responsibility
belonged, for whatever embarrsssments
might arise IN the public service.
Mr.. Randall said he saw no objection
to the President putting in as many OBJ
iections as he saw fit, if he would only
sign the bills reducing the expenses OF
the government, and assist the House in
It, great efforts in that direction. The
President, in some Of his statements.

pie shall have An opportunity oil Judging

MIR. Hale defended the action Of the
| President.
The communication was referred to the
Appropriation Committee.
Mr.. Glover, chairman of the real es'
tate pool committee, made an effort to
get in his report, but did not succeed.
Bills tor commission TO take into
consideration the relative value OF gold
silver, SC, were introduced by Messrs-
Hewitt, Cox and Gibson. Referred to
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency. .-
Mr.. Cox expressed the nope that the
committee would be able TO report to

The reading of almost all the bills in
troduced to-day, was insisted on by Mr.
Kasson and others, to prevent any nea.
sure for the repeal of the resumption act
being forced on the House.

THE impsrtislity of the cable reports
from Europe cannot be considered with
out admiration. One days dispatches will
announce great battle on the frontier
and the complete rout of the Turks.
The next days dispatches will announce
the same battle and q glorious victory
for the insurgents. Thus the fact of .
battle is established, while the result is
declared in favor Of both sides, so that
sympsthlzers with either may choose for
themselves and be satisfied; the dis.
patches merely stating the case, and
making no effort to influence the judg-
