Had the Democrats elected their Senator in
Floyd and Clark Counties. where petty local
quarrel over the removal OF the county seat
resulted in his defeat. the Senate would have
been Democratic. thus insuring new appor~
tionment law. The iniqutous character OF the

ing majority In order 10 get a majority OF the

The Electoral al, q, nilI.

wAsHISGroS, December 1.-THE House
Committee on the Electoral Count, at its
meeting today, took up and informal.
" considered the bill which passed the
Senate yesterday. Representative South
ard, Chairman OF the Committee, says
that, while there are some features OF the
bill which commend II, there are Others
which make it impossible for the commit
tee to accept It, There are two features,
particularly, which the House can not
agree TO. One Is the provision that each
State may provide BY law for the trial and
determination Of any controversy con-
eerning the appointment Of Electors. The
House Committee want the tribunal to
settle such controversies to be definitely
fixed in the bill, and that tribunal, they
think, should be the Supreme Court of the
State. Itwould be fraught with danger to
permit any State TO designate q tribunal,
for too much regard would be had to mere
political influences. The other objection
able provision Is that which makes the de-
cision OF the State tribunal final and bind
ing upon the two House OF Congress-. It Is
not thought that the House will submit to
such measure, even II the committee
should report 1t, Southland will bring the
whole subject to the attention ofthe House
Immediately after recess, and it Is his opin-
ion that the bill will be sent back to the
Senate with very material amendment.

theline Of Allegheny, county, yesterday. A
farmer named Richard Donaldson, direct
ed young man who lived with him,
named John White, to clean up the cellar
under the. house. In compliance with
this order, White removed some dirt that
had accumulated there during a good
many years. In the course Of his scraping
around with q hoe he unearthed tin 5oxt
and, on opening it, he found it TO be full
of greenbacks, amounting in all to 500.
He then proceeded to search for further
treasure, and soon brought to light an old
tin cup, in which were carefully packed
5000 ii gold coin. He notified Mr.. Don
aldson OF what he hadsfound, who at once
laid claim to it, for the reason that It was
found on his property. and that It hail
most likely been buried there by bus father,
who had lived in the house many years

previous to the old mans death he had

sale could not be found alterward. Mr:
Donaldson summoned, his three brothers,

GREAT BRITAIN.


LONDON, December14.-The week closed
amid an excited and somewhat gloomy
state ofpublic- feeling. While the official
dispatches respecting the army in Afghan-
istan continue favorable, private dis
patches from Bombay and Calcutta report
that disquietingrumorshaye reached there
from the he-front.--Some-o these rumors,
known as Bazaar News" which comes
wholly through native channels, and is
often false, are exaggerated ;others OF them
are based on statements made in private
letters from officers and men. The course
Of the viceroy in preventing the sending
OF dispatches from the frontby newspaper
correspondents, save those which are ap-
proved by him, is severely denounced. Il
Is feared that not only Is the army suffer
ing very much from disease, but that there
are military reasons for suspending a
further advance for some time to come.
