soon after adjourned.
In the house, on the 9tn, Mr.. Parsons,
from the committee on private land claims,
reported a bill authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to sellat private sale such Por-
ton Of the public property at Vincennes,
Ind, as may be resuired for tracks, switches
shops and other purposes of the Ohio and
Mississippi, the Evansville and CrawfOrds-
vile, and indianapolis and Nincennes rail-
road companies. The bill was lost. The
house then went into committee of the whole
en- the consular and diplomatic appropriation
BILL and was addressed by Mr.. Springer, of
Illinois, in defense of the bill. In brief
discussion as to the further course of debate
1t was understood that Blaine would address
the house on tomorrow, and that the general
debate would then close. The committee
rose and the house adjourned.
In the house, on the 10th, the speaker
presented memorial from the citizens of
Louisiana, praying for relief against certain
political evils existing in that state. Re
ferred. The house went into a committee of
the whole on the consular and diplomatic
appropriation bill, and was addressed by Mr..
Hale, of Maine. Mr.. Hale was followed by
Mr.. Lynch, of Mississippi, and at the cOnClu-
sion of his speech Mr.. Blaine arose and ad-
dressed the committee. Mr.. TarbOx replied
to Blaine, and the committee then proceeded
to consider the bill by sections. All amend
ments offered were rejected, and the house
adjourned.
In the house, on the 11th, the entire
session was consumed in considering the con-
sular and diplomatic appropriation bill. Mr..
Hewitt moved to amend by providing only
one minister, at $500, for Denmark, Sweden
and Norway, to reside at such place in those
states as the president may from time to time
direct. Agreed to. Mr.. Tucker moved to

year the population OF London, as limited
in the metropolitan and city police districts,
will exceed four and quarter millions.
This increase is caused partly by the increase
of births over deaths and partly by immigra-
ton. Last year $4,000 persons we're added
to the permanent residents Of the British
metropolis from outside places.
The report of the official investigation
into the loss of the Deutschland says the
wreck was owing to the error of reckoning
and the captains disregard of the force and
direction of the tide. 1t praises the dis
cipline aboard the steamer and the conduct
of the officers. The bOatmen at Harwich and
elsewhere are exonerated. The report rec
ommends that telegraphic communication be
established between the ight-ships and the
shore.
A letter from Havana, dated the Sd
inst, says the destruction of property by fire
still continues, and night before last at Jaquey
Grand, the streets were illuminated by the
glare of several fires in different directions
in the neIghDorhood. The papers bring de-
tails of fight at Saga, near Remedies, where
the Spaniards claim to have repulsed the in
surgents twice, killing six men and four horses,
and probably wOunding many more. There
were several cane fields burned, and three
Spaniards killed and five wounded at HOl-
quin. The enemy attacked and burned the
village and fort of Yoreniquen, which, the
governor says, was traitorously surrendered
by the garrison. Eight hundred insurgents
attacked Mabason, but were repU'sed and
fifteen men killed. The Spaniards
killed and eighteen wounded.

sion, the bill proposed by Fernando Wood,
to increase the volume of four and q half
per cent. bonds from $2OO,O0O,OOO to $780,
100000 and to extend the time for their re-
demption from IS to 80 years. The secretary

The house postoffice committee are
vigorously pushing their investigation on the
straw bid swindling, and have got leave to
sit during sessions Of the house for the Pur-
pose of facilitating their work. Mr.. Scud-
der, president of the Memphis and st. Louis
packet company, testified on Tuesday that
previous to 1870 his company carried the
mails between St. Louis and Vicksburg for
s. 900 per annum. In 1870 straw bid man
got the contract for Sc, $40, the company bid
ding 81, 900. In three months the straw bid.
der failed, and ignoring the cOmpany's bid,
the department let the contract to one DIR.
Peterson for $4,000, which was subsequently,
increased to Sd, 900, Peterson employing the
company to carry the mails at $4,000.
Before the house committee on expen
ditures of the state department, few days
ago, Chas. f. Farrell, for severaIyears consul
| at Cadiz, was examined at length by the
chairman in reply to the assumptions oi
Parson Newman. Mr.. Farrell exposed the
/ system of undervaluation at the ports from
which wines are shipped, and said that from
| 1862 to 1866 the United States were robbed
| in this way in ports south of the Irish chan
mel to Naples OF from twenty to thirty mil

argue the case of Baker vs.. Frcck, argued
in the court of appeals to-day. BY in
vitation of Governor Carroll he became
his guest at the cXCcHtice mansion. To
day the governor invited Chief Justice

gentlemen, to meet Mr.. johnson at the
mansion. They dincd about o. m
At dinner Mr.. johnson appeared in ex-
Ceilent spirits and his usual health, and
entertained the company by his conver-
satiOn and relating anecdotes. At din
ncr he took one glass Of Madeira, and re-
fused to take any more. After dinner
he suddenly asked the governor to take

guests at the table. shortly alter SeT-
want appeared at the door beckoning
the governor out, and told him that Mr.

ately to the place and found Mr.. John
son living on the cobble-stone carriage
way that passes under the porch of the

a door leading into the basement He
had evidently gone down 10 the front
steps and around 10 the side of the house
and fallen where he was found. This
was about S:l5 p. IN, and the impression
is that he had been there at least half an
hour. He was then dead, and bleeding

once removed into the basement room,
and physicians summoned DR. VIM.
G. Tuck was the first to arrive, and after

tinct. Drs. Ridout and Cioude arrived
afterward. There are large wounds on
the right side of his forehead, two frac-
lures Of the skull from the upper por-
tion Of the forehead 10 the eyebrow dis

cuts ON the hands ana legs and bruises.
/ The physicians are examining the body
