been settled at the last meeting, and, with
all respect TO the gentleman from Fauquier,
could not see why it should be again agi-
tated. He, like Mr.. Coghill, referred TO the
fact that Mr.. Brooke had himself sought the
party machinery to be returned to the Legis-
lature-had sought the straisbt gate: What
11r. Bocock wanted to know was how it is
that il the followers of these Independents
are the majority OF the Conservatives they
do not take control OF the party organIZa-
tion in their counties. Dir. Bocock, after
expressing himself eloquently in favor, Of
maintaining the party organization, said
that the question had been settled on Fri
day night. He had understood that this
caucus was called because of another caucus
that was to take place tonight. That is to
be caucus OF the House. This Is the eau
Gus OF the two houses. There need be no
conflict. Mr.. Bocock offered the following
RESOLVED, That we adhere to and abide
by this organization as the true and only
organization of the Conservative party OF
both houses Of the General Assembly.
RESOLVED, That in the opinion of this
meeting q caucus OF either branch Of the
General Assembly, sitting by itself, has ju-
risdiction only Of questions relating to the
organization or officers Of that branch,
while every matter to be determined by
joint vote Of the two houses ought to be
considered alone in this caucus.
Major Daniel accepted Mr.. Bocock's reso-
lutions as q part Of his.
Mr. Brooke desired it particularly to be
understood that he did not favor, as some
gentlemen seemed to intimate, the Conser
vative organization being disbanded;. on
the contrary, he was OF opinion that in some
sections OF the State it was necessary and
all important.
Senator Sinclair repudiated the idea that
the Independents represented the ConserVa-
tiyes Of Loudoun. ........
The resolutions OF Major Daniel, as
amended by Mr.. Bocock were adopted.
THE RoLL-CALL.
Mr.. Hurt OF Pittsylvania offered the fol
lowing: ... s-.

eral Assembly desiring to take part in the
proceedings Of this body should have their
names enrolled, and answer upon the calling

A new restaurant has been discovered in
Paris. Price Of meals six cents. Its tables
and ;seats are earth the counters, four un-
planed planks, placed on two empty barrels; ;
the kitchen range, a hole in the ground with
an iron soup pot over it. Fare, ragout in the
morning, soup afternoon ragout' and soup
both are made of all sorts of inferior meat
tossed into the pot. Bread is not provided ;
customers must bring their own bread drink
is blushing water ii. e. water with just wine
enough in it to call color to it; the six cents
must be paid on entrance; credit isnnknown.
The patrons are poor artists and poor literary
men who have not yet learned to make
money, rag pickers, thieves. No customer
is allowed to remain more than fifteen min
utes. All the spoons and plates are Of iron,
and chained to the table. A great deal of
money is made there. The master owns three
houses in Paris, and his wife has valuable
diamonds.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.l
A marine league from the Heads, off the
Golden Gate, was the scene of romance in
real life yesterday. 1t appears that youth of
nineteen summers, named Sherwood Sharpe,
from Walnut Grove, Sacramento county, and
young miss of fourteen from Hicksville,
named Katie Wasson were bent on entering
the marriage state, Notwithstanding the op-
position of parents. They consequently came
to this city for the purpose of being united
in wedIock on the briny deep, without the
Jurisdiction of the State. inasmuch as the
marriage could not be otherwise legally per-
formed without the consent Of the old folks.
The shipping Commissioners steam scow, the
Elizabeth Mary, was chartered for the occa-
sion, and accompanied by Rev. John M. Al
lis, the youthful twain steamed outside the
Heads to point far enough to be beyond the
jurisdiction of the sovereign State of Cali
fornia. There, amid the foaming breakers
of the bar and the bowling northwest which
prevailed at the time the marriage ceremony
was performed. The vessel then returned to

THE recent discoveries made by the special
agents of the Treasury Department has open
ed up mine of fraud which Secretary Sher-
man will work at until its entire resources
are exhausted. The frauds are chiefly con-
fined to silk jobbing houses in New York
City, and it is said that millions Of dollars
have been stolen from the Government by
their fraudulent transactions. When the ex-
posure of this hot-bed of corruption has been
thoroughly made, it will prove to be one 1T
the most gigantic swindles ever perpetrated
upon the Government. The Treasury De-
partment officials are pushing the investiga-
ton with great energy, and the cry is, "Let
no guilty man escape"

CAPITAL NOTES.
WASHINGTON, April 20, 1877.


Notwithstanding that our Democratic friends
still insist that naught but universal corrup-
ton exists here at Washington, it is impossi-
BILE that any of them could be found to deny
our statement, that the Lord has rained gen.
orally hereabouts without cessation for the
week last past, and still it comes down.
Water, water, everywhere, and not a street
crossing but that is submerged. Figuratively
speaking, we have probably taken more
water during the last six days than at any
time since the flood, and if it continues much
longer we will doubtless see the honorable
Senate as one vast fleet of gondoliers, pad
ding their way from the Capitol to the White
House to the tune of ''The old flag and ap-
preparation forever" Should our political
documents hereafter be dated, S. T., you
will understand that reference is made to this
flood of ~.
Besides this uncomfortable descent of the
fllidical fluid that flows, we are given the
privilege this week of standing on the street
corners up to our knees in water, and many OF
them, we note, up to their necks in another
class of fluid, to gaze at the two Grand Jukes
as they ride or paddle by. Yesterday these
distinguished visitors called at the White
House. Secretary Evarts assumed the role
of Lord High Chamberlain, and in his claw
hammer coat of faultless cut, and necktie OF
immaculate white, introducing them with all
the graces of circuit rider. The coming
Car of all the Russias, aside from his title,
possesses physique that would entitle him
to consideration anywhere, being over six
feet high. The younger Duke, Constantine,
appears as of about eighteen Russian sum-
mers, body short, limbs long and lean, hair
close cut, and face as smooth as billiard
ball. 1t is not yet known just how long they
will remain with us, but they evidently intend
to see all that there is to be seen while they
are here.
Not much new has turned up in political
matters, generally. The question as to the
time the extra session of Congress will be
called is still problematical The statement
is credited to Secretary McCrary, that if the
Louisiana question was not adjusted by the
end of the week, that the President would
call Congress in session by May 18th. To-day
it is said to be among the probabilities that
no special session will be called at all. An
officer of the Appropriation Committee OF the
House of Representatives is authority for the
statement that the President is again consid
ering the advisability of not convening Con-
gress in special session, but to arrange for
payment of the army in accordance with the
plan suggested by Vice President Wheeler,
the details of which have heretofore been
given in your columns. Clerk Adams, OF the
House, has also received vague intimations
that it is quite possible there will be no extra
session. 1t is known that President Hayes
and Secretary Evarts are in favor of avoid
ing it if possible. MAX.

Silver Instead of small Notes.

For the purpose of bringing silver coin
into more general use in the circulation of the
country than at present, and as a step toward
specie payments, the Secretary of the Treas
ury has decided to suspend for the present
the issue of one dollar notes in sums over
ten dollars. He will also, in retiring legal
tenders under the act of 1875, select notes of
the smaller denominations wherever it is prac-
ticable. In the payment of all drafts upon
the Treasury where change is desired, all

The predicament of the Chinese in Cali
fornia is serious, if the San Francisco CHr0n-
icle penetrates to the true inwardness of the
situation. 1t says: "The worst will not
have been reached till the Chinese, like the
blacks in some of the Southern States, shall
turn and retaliate in kind. At that point
there will inevitably begin, on the part OF the
whites, war of determination. In other
words, the Mongolians are damned if they
don't and damned if they do" resist Cau-

Won MOltke and the French Military
9PreDaratiOns.

LONDON, April 26.-The Times Berlin dis
patch gives additional quotations from Gen.
Won Moltke's speech. The General stated
that the French military budget exceeds the
German by $50, ,000,0 francs year, inclu-
sive of extraordinary grants. He would not
discuss the question whether France intended
IL bear this enormous burden for prolonged
period, or whether she was arming for detl-
mite purposes, but he must needs say that as
much AZ he desired peace he did not believe
in it, The French journals were full of spite
and hatred against Germany. France re-
mernbered how often she had invaded dis
united Germany The French apprehended
similar treatment now that Germany was
united, hence the haste, zeal, and uncommon
intelligence with which the colossal work OF
the French army reorganization was being
completed; hence the locating OF large num-
bers of French troops, especially cavalry and
artillery, between Paris and the German IRON
tier-a measure which Germany "onld sooner
or later be obliged to rcciprocatc. lu France
the army was the pride of all political parties.
Its defeats were forgotten, and its measure
was regarded with confidence. In Germany
there was a marked disposition to be Mig
gardly toward the army. The new captain
cies proposed were intended to prepare a
hundred and twenty-tw important officers in
peace for the work they would have to do in
war; Depend upon it, these captains would
have very little spare time for amusement if
they were appointed.
BERLIN, April 26.-Von Moltke's speech
attracts as much attention as the Russian
manifesto. 1t is generally assumed that he
intended to tell the French that Germany is
watching their armament, and that she can
not conceive their immense military efforts to
aim at anything else save revenge at the first
will net allow her to profit by the Oriental
troubles for the possible pursuit of anti-Teu-
tonic plans.

HOUSEKEEPING.

Deck your house from inward out,
Let there be an inmOst shrine,
Where to praise with gifts devout
Love both human and divine.
After that, the hottest room
Heap with choicest things that grow;
Spare not gold nor silver show,
Ambergris, nor forest bloom.
Mans wrought marvels dantiest,
Colored canvas, chiseled stones,
Comforts few, bnt all that's best,
Each that special beauty owns.
Then as worthy station calls,
All your home in order set,
Nor through hasty pride forget,
Chambers still outrank the halls.
After, if you more can spend,
Neatly decorate the shell:
Next your crumbling fences mend.
Lay your road beds deep and we'll
But beware lest these beguile
Care on outward things to waste;
Save in heart-cells fair and chaste,

No. IS
Tried for III ereSy.

TRENTON, IN. J.) May 3.--The New Bruns-
wick Presbyterian assembled this morlng TO
consider the charges of heresy against Rev.
Jno. Miller, leading preacher of the Pres
byterian Church. in that he has published
book denying the Trinity and the immortality
of the SOUL Rev. DIR. Gosman is presiding
moderator. A number of eminent divines are
present The trial excites great interest. Rev.
DR.. Suddeforde opened the prosecution by
reading extracts from Miller's book, and
showing that the sentiments held are in op-
position to and in contradiction of the cate
chism and confession of faith and the Pres
byterian Church. AT the conclusion of Stud
deford's charges, Miller rose to reply. lie
said that in the first place his book doesn't
strike at the vitals of the religion, and there
fore does not contradict the confession OF
faith. No man in the church held to the
Calvanistic doctrine with greater boldness and
tenacity than he believed in Christ and in his
ransom. He believed the Father was God,
the Son was God and the Holy Ghost was
God, but lie did not believe in the Trinity.
They were separate. Miller then proceeded
at length to defend his doctrine. AS to the
Immortality of the soul, he owned himself as
opposed to the doctrine of Luther He said
he opposed it, and he did not believe he could
be deposed for opposing it, nor did he think
he could be deposed for abandoning the doc
trine of the Trinity, and fixing himself on
the divinity of Christ and looking to him as
God. The doctrine OF the Trinity, as CON-
monty held, he declared could not be ex-
planned by any theologian present.
