VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, May 24'-In the U.
S. Circuit Court to-day the jury in
the gold case of the United States
VS.. ex-Gov. William Smith rendered
a verdict for the defendant. This
being considered as a test case, it is
probable that other suits, about a
dozen in number, will be dismissed.
District Attorney Lewis entered
a motion to set aside the verdict in
ex-Gov. Smiths case, and grant a
new trial, which was fled for a fu-
ture hearing.

Factory Facts.

Close confinement, careful attention
to all factory work, gives the operatives
pal.id faces, poor appetite, languid,
miserable feelings, poor blood, inactive
liver, kidneys and urinary troubles,
and all the physicians and medicine
in the world can not help them unless
they get out doors or use Hop Bitters,
made of the purest and best remedies,
and especially for such cases, having
abundance of health, sunshine and
rosy cheeks in them. None need suf-
fer If they will use them freely. They
cost but trifle. See another column.

After flibustering ali night, dur.

antry was indulged in and some i'll
humor manifested at times, the
House at 9 o'clock this morning,
adjourned to meet at noon.
The session of Saturday opened
at noon with prayer by the chap

Mr.. Bicknell introduced a constitu-
tional amendment as to the election
of President and Vice President.

bill relating to the transfer of cases
from State to Federal Courts. The
question being on seconding the
main question on that vote there
was no quorum, only 43 for to none
against.
A call of the House was ordered.
After the roll call of the House,
which showed the presence of 1856
members, a subsequent vote by yeas
and nays on the motion to dispense
with further proceedings under the
call, and another abortive attempt
to get vote on seconding the pre-
Yious question, occupied the entire
morning hour.
The Post Route bill was passed,
and the Warner Silver bill was ta-
ken up and passed by vote of ia
to 81. The followinS is a summory
of its provisions
1t fVed TIE weiSht of the stand

authorizes owners of silver bullion
to deposit the same at any mint, to
be formed into bars or standard
dollars. 1t makes the charges for
coming such bullion the difference
between its market value in NewYork
and the legal value of the coin.
makes subsidiary silver coin ex-
change at the Treasury for legal
tender money to the amount of
twenty dollars. It makes standard
silver dollars legal tender in all
payments at their nominal value and
requires the Treasury to pay out
silver coin without discrimination
the same as gold coin in liquidation
of all kinds of coin obligations
against the Government. It au-
thorizes the issue of certificates to
depositors of gold or silver coin or
bullion. 1t also authorizes the issue of
certificates representing coin in the
Treasury in payment of interest ON

certificates to be receivable in pay
ment of duties on imports. The

to be for its average value in coin
Of like metal during the preceding
week in New York and San Fran
cisco. Gold and silver bullion de-
posted is to be coined to the
full capacity of the mints,
in connection with other coinage,
and if bullion deposited for coinage
does not amount to twenty million
dollars per month, the Treasury is
to purchase sufficient silver bullion
to coin that amount. The act is
not to be construed as authorizing
the coinage of silver except into
standard dollars.
The House adjourned until
Tuesday.
