French Assembly.

VERSAILLES. December 2S.-In the
chamber of deputies to-day, during the
the debate on bIdget, Gsmbetta eX-
horted thechamber not to sur
renderits power over the budget.
He urged that the Senate had
no right to reinsert items rejected by the
deputies. He declared it might be easy
now to strangle the right OF the deputies
to initiate financial proposals, but the act
would be regretted when too late.
NJ. Simon replied that the Constitu
tion WAS perfectly clear 1t made no
difference AS to the power OF the rcspec.
tive houses over the financial laws, ex-
cept that such laws must be voted on by
the Deputies first. He said that il the
conflict between the chambers continued
it must be solved by dissolution, OF
which it was impossible to tell the con-
sequences. 1t would be preferable to
take fresh vote on the contested items
OF the bu get. The country wished to
see peace between the public
powers and to enjoy the benefits Of the re-
public which it had so long and ardently
desired. To again submit the republic to -
vote of the people would justify the re-
proach that the republic WAS unstable.
Ii the republic was united it could brave
all attacks.
NJ Gambctta answered that the ac-
Acknowledgement OF the Senate's right to
reinsert grants which had been dIsalow-
cd by the Deputies would inevitably lead
to future conflicts He declared he had
no fear of Il dissolution

The meetings conducted by Mr..
MOODY and Mr.. SANKEY at Chicago
came to close on Sunday, December
q. having been continued eleven weeks,
with unsbated and increasing interest
The committee say, in Il review Of the
work:
ITO sum up all the results OF the meet
ing can only be done when Christ comes
for his church, but its influence Is
evident in every direction. The church
has been revived, the ministry quick
ened, and many persons converted.
All classes of the community have had
the gospel preached to them, and for
weeks all circles have been more or less
interested in the meetings. Much good
seed his been sown, and much OF
II has already sprung up into
everlasting life. The most marked
work has been among men addict
ed to the use OF strong drink. Three
daily meetings, for this class, have been
held, and intensely interesting meetings
they have been. Those conversant with
the work, place the number who have
given evidence not of reformation only,
but of regeneration, at one thousand"

The Senate Committee.

NEW ORLAENs, December 28-The
Senate investigating committee to
day examined b. A. Shelby, of Ouachita
parish, whose testimony was substan-
italy the same as that of Sam McEncry
of yesterday, IL regard to the condition
OF affairs there during the canvas. He
COntradlcted the statement OF Squire
Hall IN reference TO the colored men
being forced to JOIN the clubs. and
also that OF Eliza PinkstUn as to Van
Logan being in the party who assaulted
her and killed her husband, as they
were at his house that night.
He corroOorated Halls statement that
two men stood by the polls and took
down the names of voters, but did not
know what for.
Rev. Americus Watson, W Hill and
Geo. Robertson, all colorcd, testified that
they were Democrats a that the elec.
ton was peaceful and quiet.
The Senate subcommittee, of which
Wadleigh is chairman, examined
Andrew Harrison (colored), of East
Baton Rouge, whose testimony
WAS that while the negroes OF
the parish were Republicans from choice
many OF them had been forced to vote
the Democratic ticket through threats
and fear; he had been told hat If he did
not vote with the Democrats he would be
relieved from carrying the mails, while
others had been tod that if they didn't
SO vote they would be hung; be had
"A h na -,
He gave two instances where cOlored
men had been hung up and nearly killed
for refusing tojoin the Democrats, ard
said that the regulators were
originally organized, rs asserted, to
prevent stealing, but subsequently
turned into buil.dozcrs. He narrated MT
length the breaking up Of the Union
Rights colored c ub Mt Mount Vernon in
June, and the riot which ensued.
George Brown, OF the same parish,
was driven from home and was afraid TO
return on account OF being Republic
can, and denied that the ritual OF the
Union Rights club required the mem
bers to shoot negroes after the third re-
flssl to join, 'as published IN the New
Orleans Democrat.
p. A. Triplett, colored, corroborated
the breaking up of the club by the Dem
UcrpLs.
Ii Il Washington (coIored) detailed
several acts of violence by buli-doZrrs,
and gave with great reluctance the
nan r, of the leaders and in conclusion
asked the committee what protection
would be given those who came here to
testil.

New ORLEANS, December % 8-The
Committee examined some halc-dozen
colored witnesses, during the day, OF the
parish of Orleans, who testified to being
assaulted or intimidsted by their own
race for voting the Democratic ticket.
VIM. NJ. Washburne, of Morehouse
parish, said he knew of bat one case of
violence there on the day of election;
otherwise it was peaceable; he had been
elected to the Legislature and counted
out by the Board. He believed the bull.
dozers were organized by young men fvr
the purpose OF creating mystery, and
that members of the Democratic party
took steps te break it up. He was ques-
toned closely by Mr. Townsend with
reference to the homicides in the parish,
and attributed it to the inefficiency OF
the judiciary and the lack of support of
the people
AT the evening session, Mr.. Albert
VOORHEES,, member of the legislature and
Chairman of the Democratic State Cen
tral Corresponding Committee, testified
that every effort had been made by the
committee and himself 10 secure peace

man, examined six witnesses to day IN REL
erence to Plaquenine parish, all CT whom

The Way They Did 1t.
And the Way the Court
Will Do It.

TALLAHASSEE, December 2S.-The re-
turn of majority of the Canvassing
Board, in answer to the writ of the
court, was filed about P. NJ to-day. Ii
gives the same figures that were tele-
graphed last night. 1t arrives at the re-
suit by throwing out Clay county entire
ly and adopting the county judges re-
turn in Baker county.
The Supreme Court did not meet to
day. Two of the Judges reside in Jack
sonville, and ex-Attorney General Will
Iiams and General Wallace went to see
Justice Westcolt this afternoon TO
get him 10 request the attendance of
the absent justices. They will most
probably consent, and court will be held
in day or two 10 act on the return of
the Board. Attorney General Cooke
filed his protest against the act of the
majority of the Board in regard to Clay
and Baker counties. Everything indi-
Gates u speedy solution OF the difficulties.
The court Will either accept the present
return or require the two counties TO be
recsnvassed which will only require n
few moments.

business Men Think oft.

The st. Louis Times puts the present
situation Of public affairs to the business
men of the West in this strong light:
Political bankruptcy means financial
bankruptcy. If the Republic is to be
brought to an end, so is business. Let
business men look to It. Political dis
honor Is sure to end in finan-
cial dishonor. Those who consent
to the preparation of wrong
invite all the evils that wrong invaria-
bly, brings in its tram. An anarchical
termination CT political contest leaves
the result OF anarchy, whether it be sub
mltted to or resisted. A MexicaniZed
administration means the disorder and
thriftlessness of Mexico. II the fair
thing be not done, free government is q
failure, and the failure of free govern
ment means the destruction of most bus
mess interests"

THAT WONDERFUL METEOR.
As Seen by Resident OF Mount
Washington.

The meteor which flashed over the
country, on Thursday night last, from
southwest to northeast, was distinctly
seen by Charles S. Fetterman, ESQ ,
whose residence is on the commanding
eminence of Mount Washington. AL.
though not given to star-gazing, it fell
to Mr.. Fetterman's lot to witness the
phenomenon as fully and satisfactorily
as though he had been apprized
of its coming. Having occasion
to step outside the door, at
about five minutes past nine, his atten.
tion was attracted by some person rum
ming along the street, and while he
was listening, with bis face turned to-
ward the southeast, the meteor burst
upon his vision-very much resembling
the bursting ola beautiful rocket, except
that the main ball of fire moved on in
a horizontal line, towards the northeast,
giving OF small spheres of light to the
number of ten or dozen. Its move
ment was not characterized by extraor-
dinary velocity, and yet it did not
tend to describe a circle, as in the
case with bodies about to fall from
loss of momentum. The spectacle
was so novel and striking, and the indi-
cations of its continuance so Marked
that Mr.. Fetterman rushed impulsively
into the House and called the members
Of his family to witness it. They came
at his cali, and were gratitied with view
of the mysterious visitor. 1t must have
been fully one minute and quarter, ac-
cording to Mr.. Fetterman's calculation
from the time he first saw the meteor
until it hnaily disappeared. From bis
point of observation it looked rs though
the ball must have passed over this
city, taking the line OF Boyds hill,
the Twelfth and Fifteenth wards, etc, to
the Allegheny river. 1t appeared to be
about as large as an ordinary gsslight
globe and its path way low-seemingly
about twenty degrees. 1t is quite pro-
bable that this was the same meteor seen
at st. Louis, Missouri, Columbus, Ohio,
and other points, and which is reported
to have struck the earth at or near Re-
chester, New York, the same night. 1t
is somewhat remarkable, however, that
so few persons witnessed the phenome-
non, as the hour was not late, and the
night, although cold, was clear and pleas
ant.

The U. s. Senate has been regarded
as the more permanent legislative body
ofthe government. and rs little liable TO
the changes that occur through popular
excitement, but this has not been the
case recently, according to statement
made on the floor OF the Senate last
week. IN the course of an impressive
eulogy on Senator Caperton, of West
Virginia, who died last summer, Senator
+ lmunds, on Thursday, stated that the
Senate has now only three members who
held Their seats during the admlnistra-
ton of President Lincoln, and only
eleven who participated in the impeach-
ment trial of Andrew johnson in 1868.
The three Senators whose terms of ser-
vice date back to the time of President
Lincoln are Mr.. Anthony, who took his
seat in 1859; Mr.. Sherman, whose tirst
term began in 1861; and Mr.. Howe.
whose membership also dates back to
1861. MIR. Cameron was in the Sanate
as ,ong ago as l945, but he resigned in
1861 to take the office of Secretary OF
War. and did not return to his seat in
1867. Mr.. Hamlin, although not a Sen.
ator during Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
tion, presided over the body in virtue of
