GELORY, HALLELUJUM!

Il Tremendous ReuiCnt Among the Negroes
of Ric1naond--A Strange Street Scene--
Sudden Conversion in q Dfnfny Room.
Richmond Special, 7th, to Cincinnati En-
quirer.
The religious revival that is now in full
blast in all of the colored churches here
beats anything of the kind ever known. The
revival started with series of sermons on
hell, delivered by leading colored preacher,
and the vividness with which he pictured the
flames of the eternal regions was enough to
excite the average mind, let alone ignorant
and superstitiuus negroes. The churches
have been besieged by thousands all day,
who could not get in. Tonight there was
600 penitents at Mt. Zion church, 500 at
Brooks, $50 at Ebenezer, 26O at Memorial,
$50 at Bengas, and large numbers at other
churches.
This afternoon a group of sable maidens,
just from church, rushed to Franklin street,
the swell avenue Of Richmond, and station
ing themselves on q corner, stopped all the
fashionable promenaders and urged them to
seek religion. The scene was truly remark
able and picturesque. Yesterday at all the
tobacco factories the negro operatives be-
came so wrought up on the subject of their
salvation that they could do nothing but
shout and pray. Hundreds had to be dis
charged.
In one of the churches last night little
girl named Martha Hodge jumped up in the
middle of the sermon, and yelled that she
saw a vision. The moon, she said, was
bathed in blood, which was sign that thu
earth was coming to an end. At one of the
hotels, to-day, colored waiter, named
Henry Barkesdale, was converted whil
carrying plate of soup to one of the guests
He dashed the soup down on the floor ant
gave vent to his feelings by shouts peculiar
to the Ethiopian race. The police have az
rested sundry shouters on the streets, VIII
appeared to be deranged.

House of REPRESENTATIVES.

WASHINGTON, April lO.-Mr. ONeill presented
and manufacturers against the passage of the
tariff bill, as vitality injurious to the business
interests of the country. Referred.
The House then went into committee of the
whole, MIR. Garfield in the char, on the pension
appropriation bill. The bill appropriates $780,
2o6, 574 and provides that after July l, 1878,
pensions shall be paid by the treasurer of the
United States, under direction of the secretary
of the treasury and of the interior. The items
of the appropriation are as follows: For army
invalids, 1913, 10000; for widows and minors,
$12, $780, 600; for survivors of the war 1912,
81 $4,000; for the widows of soldiers of the
war of 1872, $1.247, 974; for fees of examining
surgeons $3.50. 900; for navy inyalids, 500, GOO;
for widows and Minors 1884, 600; for fees Of
examining surgeons, 81 900; for carrying out
the provisions of this act, $4,000.
MIR. Smith, of Pennsylvania explained that
the bill, by abolishing the pension agencies of
the government, would save $500, 900 annually.
Mr.. Hanna stated that the pension agent had
to pay his clerks out of the fees, and he
thought the bill ought to be entitled "a bill to
rob the pension agent out of his pay
MIR. Smith proceeded to argue in favor of
the bill.
Mr.. Powers objected to that provision
OF the bill which aboGshes pension agencies

carry out that plan than it costs now, and that
it would entail delay and expense on pensioners
who ought to be promptly paid.
MIR. Bragg also opposed the bill on two
grounds: First, that it would cause delay il
the payment Of pensions; and second, becaus,
the bill came, not from the committee on pen
siOns, which committee antagonized the bill
but from the committee on appropriations
which had nothing to do with deYising mean
for the payment of pensions, but which wa

Zeituug, likely to come from authorized

remain neutral in an Anglo-Russian war. If
she allies herself with Russia, she will have
to give up Constantinople as a

It is announced that review of 100000

The pacific and argumentative tone of the
Russian reply to Lord Salisbury's circular,
is recognized with satisfaction by the London
morning papers, as indicating purpose and
giving hope of finding an arrangement by
negotiations.
The Times claims that both Lord Sails

gan to cross from Rustchuk to Giurgevo in
order to occupy the line from Giurgevo to
Bucharest. The Roumanian government in
order to avoid alarm publicly denies that the
occupation has commenced, but it is never
theless an undoubted fact.
LAYARD AS A pARALYzER.
A special from Constantinople states that
Layard has su cceeded in paralyzing, for the
present, Russia's endeavors to obtain the
friendship of the Porte. In view of the
hourly increasing tension of the Anglo
Russian relations, the greatest Importance is
attached to the long interviews Layard had
on Monday with Raouf Pasha and Osman
Pasha, who are paramount on military
affairs.

BERLIN April 10.-The semi-ofticial Pro
