LONDON, March 19.-In his speech in
the Reichs,ag Monday, Herr Liebknecht
(Socialis!) contended that Hoedel and No
bling, the would-be assassins Of the En-
ncrnr. were not Socialists. Socialists.
he said, were convinced that the PRO
crcss of history and the triumph OF their
piIilanthropic programme could not be lnl-
nedcd bv tie existence Of any single lndl-
yidual. Their societies might be dissolved
and their journals suppressed, yet they
would cling TO their tenets. The middle
classes would soon perceive what they really
ought to decide WIS the Government
drilled barrack system. Ii the Govern
ment could prove the connection OF Ger
man Socialists with the attempts on, lhc
lives Of the King OF Spain and Italy he
would accept the anti-Socialist law. The
Government should itself be placed at the
bar for imposing state OF siege rather than

Emperor was being chcered was no insult.

1t Is stated on good authority that the
present intention Of former members OF
the Committee on Appropriations and lead
ing members Of the House Is to obyia.e tue
necessity of organizing any OF the regular
committees during the extra session by
pursuing this course In case Of the legisla-
tive, executive, and judicial appropriation
bills, which also failed to become law at
the last session.
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
WASHINGTON, March misrepresentation
Sparks, OF Illinois, a member OF the House
Committee on Appropriations OF last ses-
sion, has been authorized by prominent
Democratic members OF the present Con-
gress TO submit to- the House, at tue earliest
practicable moment, the army appropriation
bill, and call for its immediate consideration.
The bill, as it will be reported by Mr..
Sparks, Is identical in its provisions with
that passed by the last House, and which
failed Of enactment in consequence of the
incorporation therein OF the clause prohib-
iting The presence OF troops ut the polls on
election-days. 1t is anticipated by prom-
nent members of the last Committee on Ap-
preparations that there will be little or no
delay ut this time IN securing the passage Of
the army bill, including the previous obiec-
tional clause.

Cameron braach-oi-prom;se case was contin-
ued in the Circuit Court to-day, with Mrs.

that she had threatened Senator Cameron
with an exposure OF the nature OF their re-
ations, and had said she would go 10 the
Senate with her child when it should be
born unless he would marry her or make
some pecuniary :ndemnification. These
letters Mrs. Oliver acknowledged as her
own. Witness accused Cameron Of giving
her medicine by force for an improper pur-
pose, and said she did not believe hc cared
whether it killed her or not.
A large number Of letters written by
Mrs. Oliver to Mr.. Cameron at varions Pc

The farmers nre beginning to prepare
for the harvesting of their crops of
wheat. Wheat il not as good as the
growing crop promised, being very low,
rs a general thing. There are few
good crops, however. The heads seem,
though, to he pretty well filled. Oats
will hardly pay for the cutting. There

The wheat harvest Is about over with
us. The yield, / am informed, in un-
precedented. The corn crop looks well,
and in fine condition. Take II alto
gether the farmeris happy. No tobacco
of any consequence has been planted,
and will he less put out than at any
former period i'm the history of the coui-
ty.
The members of our bar held meet
ing some days ago, in regard to the
Green-Hargis embroigliO, at which your
humble servant was not present. l am
one of those who think Judge Hargis il
innocent and has acted wisely. That
he waited until his accuscrs vented their
full spite and force, then he came forth
and completely vindicated and set
himself right, and can, without the least
taint upon himself or upon the judicial
ermine, he can and will, as | truly be-
lieve, wear it with honor to himself and
reflect credit upon the State. | have an
abiding faith of the innocence of Judge
Hargis, that he has been prosecuted
for what reason am unable to say, hut
that time will prove all.
When | last wrote YOU | said that our
funding board had resolved to endeavor
To fund the railroad debt at 30 cents on
the dollar, both principal and the interest
due. said that il amounted To about
Hog per cent. on the face of the bond,
and the then due and accumulated in
tcrcst. | see that our paper, the Echo,
denies ii. Well, let any one take the
face of the bond, say 500, and find your
interest ut per cent, S55 total Sl35,
multiply 10y 30, and it will amount to
$1,000. Well then, if that il not I0l per
cent. upon Il 500 bond | can't count.
But as yet nothing has been done. The
board met on last Tuesday. No propO-
sitions before them for fuDding any
bonds; no correspondence with any one
looking towards such funding. What
will he done remains to be seen,
No news of interest more than | have
written have been able to gather since
| returned. The health of our town,
with few exceptions, is remarkably
good. Our professional brother, Eugene
t.aves, is in very precariOus condition
and has been for several weeks from
catarrh, producing delrum. He went
to the Hot Springs in Arkansas seeking
relief, but his condition becoming so
alarming his attendant brought him
described ever since.

with two very entertaining exhibitions
