WASHINGTON, June 10.-There was o lively
debate in the Senate to-day on the bill per-
hitting West Virginia and North Carolina to
elect congressman in October, when their
State elections are held. The bill had passed
the House, and In the Senate 1t was amended
so as to allow the Legislature Of New Hamp-
shire, which meets this week, to elect sue
cessor to Wadleigh, whose term expires next
March. Under the constitution Of that State
the Legislature, which should properly elect
a Senator, does not meet until June, 1879,
which will cause q vacant seat in the Senate
for three or four months The Republicans
asked that the present Legislature might
elect the Senator, but the Democrats opposed,

they could get the next Legislature. The bill

Wool growing, we are glad to learn, is
rapidly becoming popular enterprise IN our

house who were able to send to market this
wear as much as 600 pounds of wool, fol, which

we believe, will continue to increase until
Morehouse becomes really a great sheep
country. Considering the very small ex-
nense attending the raising of wool, and the
ease ease also with which it is done, we, are at

his virtues. All the people living in MS

given birth to five children-three glTls

ably well. They are very small, put
still perfect in their organism, and may \,
