There was scene of wild disorder In the
House last night over the bill to pay the
Fishery award. Ben Butler, o born outlaw
had to be taken In hand twice by the Ser
geant- Speaker Randall displayed
the proper firmness and decision, as indeed
he always does. Butler carried his point,
which was the defeat of the bill, Q two
thirds vote being required.
Zach Chandler and Pomroy wish to come
back to the Senate, and there is said to be
considerable popular feeling in Kansas in
favor of the latter. It will be remembered
that the $1,000 scandal which defeated him
was local affair, and Kansas Republicans
seem to believe now that Pomeroy was the
victim of trick. 1t is questionable, how
ever, whether men like Pomeroy, Chandler,
Hamlin, Harlan, etc., ought not to be kept
10 retirement. The occasions which gave
them prominence are of the past. To be
sure, Kansas made q mistake in selecting
Ingalls, to succeed Pomeroy, and Michigan
mode another, and 1t Is not unlikely, sup
pose, that Maine would send Hale If she re-

er. Like all great feudal dignitaries, they
faded away and fell. Strange, but true,
another Constable, not a Montmorencie
but New Castle county one, aims to recre'
ate like power In Wilmington. This
mighty official 1t is said, summoned the
different candidates for Mayor to meet him
at his castle. on Madison street, last Sunday
evening, so the story goes-to hear his
opinions, and accept his conclusions, and
accept his conclusions as to which of them
might ask the suffrages Of his fellow citi-
zens; subject to his gracious permission
Our little bird failed to discover how many
answered the constable's call. We know
one of them who was manly enough to
treat with contempt the com mmand, whether
the others went hat in hand, we know not.

The trial of James Vance for passing
counterfeit money was resumed in the U. 8.
Circuit Court yesterday morning at 10
O'Clock.
The principal witness was Edward
Caulk, who testified that be had known
Vance for fifteen or twenty years, and that
| he had kept q saloon in chesapeake City
up to few months ago. On the evening
Of April 23rd Vance hired team and In
company with Caulk started out for the
purpose of passing the bogus money. They
drove to q number of places, and at each
place they stopped at Vance gave his com
paniou IS bill, and he would 60 in and
make trivial purchase and get It changed.
The court then adjourned until O'Clock
in the afternoon, and on re-assembllng
the witnesses for the defence were called.
The first of these was the wife Of VIM. O.
Hamilton, who testified that on the 23rd OF
April, (the night Caulk passed the money
for Vance,) Vance was at the house of her
husband until 9 o'clock, Mrs. Hamilton did
not know the day of the month except that
she had carpets up, and was to move on the
25th which was the next day but one.
VIM. G. Hamilton was the next witness.
He did not know that the night on which
Vance was at his house was the 23rd of
April, except by the fact that he was to
move on the 25th and that was then one
day off,
Captain Claypole, the Captain of a tug
boat on Back creek, and Vance's nephew,
next testified that one night In April, he
met Vance with several others crossing .
field, after 9 o'clock. He gave Vance IS
which was the remainder of $12 which he
had promised to loan him. Vance wrote
out note for the amount that night and
gave it to him. The note was here exhibi-
ted, Mr.. Gray, counsel for the defense,
asked that it be taken as evidence to prove
that Vance was elsewhere on
the night of April 23rd, than with Caulk
passing counterfeit money. After some
discussion the note was ruled out.
The examination of witnesses for the de-
fence here closed, and w. G. Spruance
opened for the prosecution, who spoke for
over an hour, and at the conclusion OF whose
address, the court adjourned until 10

A HUMAN SKELETON IN A HORSE

A HUMAN SKELETON IN A HORSE
A miner in the Black Hills, writing to q
friend in this city, tells Of horrible re-
minder of the fearful snow-storms of last
winter, and of the perils of those who were
caught out and lost their way on the plains.
He says that recently, while he and two
others were crossing the country, they came
upon the skeleton of horse, within which
was the skeleton of a man, with the grin
ming skull looking out at them between the
ribs of the animal, like prisoner peering
through the bars Of his cell, The two skele-
tons told the whole story. The man bad
killed his horse, cut him open, and crawled
inside of him, thinking to thus escape
perishing Of cold, but the nesh OF the animal
froze solid, and the man was as much 3
prisoner as If he had been shut in by walls
OF iron. The wolves and carrion birds had
stripped the greater part of the flesh from
both skeletons. The miner concludes bis
description by saying: "It was q sight l
shall never forget. / can see 1t now waen-
ever close my eyes. Virginia City

From our Special Correspondent
WAsHINGToN,D. c., June 10, 1878.
The first session of the Forty-ffth Con
press closes to-day or to- o-morrow, and, prol
ablv. not too soon. The evil influence OF
the time has been upon its deliberations. a
man not elected has been in the White
House. and to that fact-the most conspicu
ous in all the history of governmeDts-ma!
probably be traced much of the bad legisla
tion, the disregard of promises of reform
and the loose morals ofindividual members
which have made this session of Congress
one to be RENE mbered with regret. Te
have fraud so con spicuausly triumphant in
no,itics in country where mems attention
Is given constantly to politics, is sure tt
make fraud popular 10 business, In social
lite and. as this session of Congress shows
no n legislation. When the record Is made
m we shall not be proud Of what has been
dane at this session. The best and ablest
namocrats in House and Senate have meant
-uoiI Int there has been little party disci-
n,ine The duty of Democrats throughout
fhe h country is to return to Congress those
Democrats who have been Democrats, and
to leave In private life those who were elec-
tod as Democrats but who have acted with
the The Republicans. Then the next Congress
viii be of benefit to the country, and we
shall have plrty and not mob In the
campaign OF 1880. A..
Below is the resolution PASSED by the
House on Friday last, by substantially
unanimous vete: e.r
Resolved, that the two Houses of the For
tv-fourth Congress having counted the vote
cast ~ for President and Vice President OF
the United States, and having declared
Rutherford B. Hayes elected President, and
William A. Wheeler to be elected Vices
President, there is no power in any subse-
anent Congress to revise that declaration,
nor % caa any such power be exercised by the
Courts of the United States or any other
tribunal that Congress can create under
the Constitution.
II is said that in the Senate a vote upon
the resolution would be unanimous. 1t may
now be understood that President can be
reached only by impeachment.
