WAsurNGroN Nov. 1G.-The failure of the Senate
Committee on Finance reach any conclusion on the
Silver Bill. and the adjournment of the committee
without action until Monday, has caused general
belief that the bill viii not be acted upon by the
Senate until the regular session of Congress. Inc
Senate committee met in the morning and talked
until noon and then agreed to meet again a1ter tne
adjournment this afternoon. At the latter meeting
no quorum could be secured, and much TO the uis-
usf of the silver side Of the committee the matter
went over until next week.
The friends Of the Ewing Bill to repeal the thlrd
section Of the Resumption Act, hope to secure vote
upon il tomorrow night, but the anxiety OF repre-
sentatlves to speak upon it makes II more than Ike
" that it VIII be carried over tomorrow lhere Is

Of New-York has proposed a substitute for the BILL
reducing the appropriation for the entire Exposition
TO $4,000. Mr. Hamilton, who is in the mi
nority of the committee also presented his views,
in the form of substitute proposing that the Com
mssoner-Gener and assistants shall serve without
paw. He considers that it would be neXpedient and
1mpolitic at this time to make an appropriation, ow-
ing to the depression of the business interests of the
country and the duty of the Government TO be eco
pomcal i'm its expenditures. There is already con-
siderable rivalry for the COmmissonership TO be
created by the bill.

THE MINISTERS FORCED To YIELD BY THE PATRIOTIC
COURSE or THE ORLEANIsT SENATORS.
The French Ministers have resigned. They were
forced TO take this step by the decision Of the Con-
stitntonal' Senators. who, decided not to sanction
further resistance, nor to allow the Chamber Of
Deputies to he dissolved again. IA these Senators
held the balance Of power between the
Republicans and the extreme Conservatives,
their decision rendered the Ministry pswer-
less, and brought President MacMahon 10
terms He desired that the retiring Ministers should
aid HMM forming new Cabinet. but they declined
TO do So The pretext they gave for withdrawing
was, that the Deputies might not vote the
budget while they retained office. Presi-
dent MacMahOn has been in consultation with
leading politicians regarding the formation of n new
Ministry. Fears Of civil war were entertained pre-
yious to the retirement Of De Broge and his coll
leagues. duel has been fought between Deputies
Mitchell and Allan large. The committee to in
vestgate the misconduct Of the ex-Sinister during
the recent campaign, has been appointed.

Application Or Aanur~.

A correspondent Of the american Culti-
cater says that if lie were asked to name
some valuable mode Of applying farm
yard manure which had not not been re-
ceived with general favor, he should at
once instance that ofmanuring in the hill
or drill. In his experiments he has in
variably found that for the mere purpose
Of outstanding long-continucd dry wealth
er, those plants whose roots have imme-
date access to organic manurcs will be
much better enabled to absorb the neccs-
sary supplies Of moisture than those veg
eating in an unnanured soil. Onions
matured in the drill have been found to
have formed complete network of roots
around the manure, and although the soil
above was dry for long time, the crop
made a luxuriant growth and matured
we'll. Manure applied in this way is just
as nearly as possible where it is to do its
work. 1t is there heat, moisture and pull
verization are needed;it is precisely there
that plant food is to be used, if used at
all. The readiness with which, in all
cases Of decomposition, the disengaged
substance enters into new combinations at
the very instant Of its disengagemcnt, is a
strong argument in favor Of drill-manur-
ing, for able to bring almost every plant
into by SO doing the farmer will be
immediate contact with the dccomposing
manure he applies to his soil.

its too, which were. active and regular,
underwent change, and for two days it
was noticed that he did not leave his
apartment. This gave rise to some anxi-
ETY. among the occupants of the house.
Nor was it lessoned when one of his
friends called, bringing with him a letter
he had just received, in which the unhap-
py stock-broker had conveyed his inten-
ton of putting an end to his life
A policeman was Immediately sent for,
and the stockholders apartment was at
once visited: Upon opening the door a
painful scene was revealed. The body of
the stockbroker was stretched upon the
bed; the windows were fastened, and all
interstces carefully covered up with
