county, Va.
Also bill reported by Mr.. Douglas) for
the relief Of the heirs of w. A. Graham, of
Lexington, Va.
THE PAYNE BILL.
Notwithstanding that the Democratic caucus
has agreed to the Payne bill, there seems TO
be little doubt that, when that bill comes be-
fore the House, it will be opposed by leading
Democrats, who think the resumption it pro-
poses TOO rapid. 1t is said the bill cannot pass
the House.

Legal Quibbling.
Columbia, Nov. 24.-The Supreme
court has issued a rule to the state can
vassers and their counsel, s. I. Corbin,
to show cause why they should not be
attached for contempt, in violating the
writ of prohibition issued on the 18th
instant, and issuing certificates in de-
fiance of the court. The answer was
made returnable at 4 p. IN. to-day.
The court convened at A O'Clock this
afternoon. In response to a rule issued
at the morning session to the board of
~canvassers, to show cause why they
should not be attached for contempt,
in refusing to obey its mandate issued
on Wednesday, U. s. District Attorney
Corbin, counsel for the board, intro
duced an affidavit asking for further
time, but, he refusing to indicate their
defense or s the court they would
obey its mandamus, nc further time
was allowed.
The counsel for the REALTORS we're in
structed to draw the order of attach
ment and given time to complete it.
The court stated that if the board
failed to obey its mandate they would
be committed to Jail.

Poker Playing Piutes.

Those who think the Piutes are an
unprogressive race, are not acquainted
with them. A News reporter saw five
bucks in Virginia City deeply engaged
in a game of draw poker. The most
curious part Of it was that the Indians
used English almost exclusively in con-
Quoting the game. They asked n an
other ito antie'' quite glibly. One even
attempted to get off the venerable joke
of-"and then you won't have so
much, "--but it was a miserable fail
ure. Still one could see what he was
driving at. .Gimme two,'' ''gimme
foah," and the usual explosives which
always accompany the progress of the
national game, arose from the group.
One who tried to''fll" to a ''lush" called
down a curse upon too much .sbob-

The Tribune on Ftlibusteriaq.
New York, Nov. 24.-The Tribune
says editorially:
The repeal by the present house of
the rule to prevent flierbustering, would
enable the Republicans, it is said, by
dilatory motions; to prevent the cleo
ton of a president by the house until
after the 18th of March, and filibuster-
ing in the house of Representatives is
vastly to be preferred to filibustering in
the White House.
An extra session of the new congress
is probable, because it will be impossi-
BILE to complete the regular business, in
view of the Presidential troubles.
The Wrecked Boss.
New York, Nov. PA gentleman
who saw Tweed yesterday, in answerto
inquiry, said: .sHe is crushed and
broken. He has lost his old %buoyancy
and defiant spirit. He is suffering from
pleurisy now, and is actually i'll. He
seemed wearied and only anxious to
know about his old acquaintance. He
is entirely in the dark as to what to do,
and even is without legal advice, He
needs medical advice more than any
thing now"

Those Terrible Troops.

ihooo Ltff UbC tfOOPo.
Washington, Nov. 24.-Now that the
mystery thrown around the movements
of troops has been abandoned, every
body except a few of the most partisan
commends the prudence Of
the administration in assembling a force
large enough to afford assurance that
there will be ne riotous outbreak during
the session of congress, which is sure to
be unusually exciting.
Louisiana Safe.
Senator West has received a dispatch
from New Orleans which states that
all indications thus far are favorable to
the election Of Hayes, and that the sit
uation is satisfactory to the Republicans,
who are confident O. success.
The Neat House.
The best informed Republicans give
the Democrats 149 and the Republicans
141 in the next House. Add two Re-
publicans and n Democrat from New
Hampshire, and the figures are $50
Democrats, 143 Republicans. This
gives nearly all the doubtful districts
to the Democrats. The Republicans
may have six more than the above
count, and may have three less. The
same authority thinks the Democratic
majority may be entirely lost.
Tricky Tilden's Occupation.
Tilden is represented as busily read
ing up constitutional questions on the
election of President, law books, con-
gressional proceedings, etc., and par
ticularly studying the laws Of the
Southern States now in dispute, and
where .inaligible electors have been
found. He is in constant consultation
with prominent politicians and lawyers
concerning possible contingencies af-
fecting his chances.
