Mr.. Potter offered 4 resolution that
when the House adjourn tomorrow, II be
70 meet on Tuesday next, and then no
business shall be in order bat motion TO
adjourn to the following Thursday. In
explanation, he referred TO the elections
10 be held on Tuesday next. g -
Mr.. Conger asked Mr.. Potter whether
the public interests would be promoted
by letting members 70 home. .l.I.
Mr.. Potter-I think public interest
will be promoted BY letting the gentlemen
on this aide Of the House 70 home.
Laughter on the Republican side.l But
1can't draw up parliamentary Fesolu.
tion fnr that purpose. a.e'.
Mr.. Kelly-It Is possible that the
House may do some business In those
days. Il iS known that worthy officers
Of the navy are borrowing money al inor-
dinate rates Of interest, because Congress
has failed TO appropriate money 10 pay
them. think the country would be al
well served BY Congress remaining in
eession and passing the appropriation
bill, as II would be in difnIing In the
several States In which elections are TO
be held, the small number Of members
who may want TO vote.
Mr.. Clymer-I desire to state that the
last Congress did not fail to make an ap-
preparation for the support Of the navy.
lt did make that appropriation, but It
was improperly diverted 70 other uses.
Mr.. Kelly-Well the fact remains that
they are suffering for their pay.
After some further discussion the res
olution was rejected without division.
Mr.. Springer endeayorei TO bring be-
fore the House again the point Of order
on the bill to repeal the resumption act,
but the point was overruled by the
Speaker.
Mr.. Kelly-I move the House 20 into
committee Of the whole on the state Of
the Union in order to enable gentlemen
who want to discuss the pending bill toI
make their speeches.
The motion was agreed to, aud the
House went into committee Of the whole,
Mr.. Sayler in the chair, and was addressed
by Mr.. Hunter In speech TO prove that
national bank notes are cheaper and safer
money than greenbackS.
At the close Of Mr.. Hunters speech,
Mr.. Kelly rose and, in 4 sarcastic tone,
telicitated himself on having got the
House into Committee Of the Whole,
where the wrongs and suffsrings Of the
bankers had been 90 feelingly stated. He
was quite sure that the stockholders and
officers OF the National Banks we're not
aware Of their suherings, and that when
they read the gentleman's speech they
would surrender their circulation. He
knew Of NO bank In his State that had
ever declared more than 100 per cent
dividend in year, but it was quite com.
mon for them TO declare semi.annual
dividends Of 10 per cent and put large
amount to revenue. he implored the
gentleman to make known to the suffer.
ing bankers Of the country the terrible
taxation they were enduring.
The Committee then rose.
Mr.. Springer offered resolution for
the final adjournment Of this extraordi-
nary session on the 2sth OF November.
Referred.
Adjourned,

Tice on the Tornado.

Prof. Tice has been to Mt. Carmel,
Illinois, and in the ST. Louis TIMES of
Sunday has a five column report or
paper ON the subject. Much of it is
devoted to details of the action and
effect of the storm which we pass over,
mainly but there are a few that are
rare. One was that the Wabash river
was bodoily sucked up into the vor-
tex Of the cloud, even to the mud and
gravel at the bottom and another
the burning of vegetation. These,
while not exceptional, are still infre-
qucnt, and show that this tornado
was of full development Then the
fact of the bounding, or ricochet
movement, was clearly illustrated in
the case of three little school girls, who
were taken up some 1900 feet, let
down again i'll mud pond, taken up
second time to height of about 600
feet and finally deposited unhurt.
Persons who stood in their door
ways and saw it pass them, described
it as former soldier did, as sounding
like rapid musketry fire during the
war;" black on the edges and on fire
in the middle. The walls of houses
when struck flew outward. This fire
is no phenomenon, for the prophet
Ezekiel exactly describes it, in the first
chapter of his prophecy. The trees
of its course are as if scorched by fire.
The path of the tornado was about
500 feet in diameter.
