QUESTION OF THE HoUR-A FIRST REPORT ON

A conference of the two Democratic caucus
committees has been held at Washington. The
Yoliticol legislation agreed upon is a modified
form of that which was demanded at the
last session, and which not being obtained
caused the failure of the appropriation
hills and made the extra session neces-
sarv. RumOrs have been circulated that the
President had consented to compromise on
this legislation. This Is untrue. The result
Is that the Democrats will be unable to enact
extreme party measures, and they are now
looking for some way to escape from the po-
sition in which they are placed. The regular
correspondent of TIE TRIBUNE telegraphs

A Field Day in the Courts-County and
Circuit -Rumored Doings Of the Grand
Jury-Other Matters

A Field Day in the Courts-County and
Circuit Rumored Doings of the Grand
Jury-Other Matters.
This has been 4 field day in court cir
cles. For the first time in many years
the Circuit and County Courts met on
the same dav, the Circuit Court in
special term and the County Court in
regular session; not for the trial OF
causes, however, being term limited
to matters connected with the police and
fiscal affairs OF county.
The County Court met at 1880
o'clock, President Browning and JUS
tices Friend Cox and Chas. Simpson on
the bench. Court Immediately aG-
dressed itself to the work OF examining
and allowing claims against the county,
such as road surveyors bills, &c, but
transacted no business OF public
importance, save accepting the
report OF Samuel George, here
toiore appointed TO sell the new
six per cent county bonds, which
report showed that $4,000 of the new
bonds had been sold, and the like
amount of Il per cent. taken up. Mr..
George reported at a former term the
sale OF $1,000 OF new bonds and the re-
demptiOn of that amount OF old ones.
Total amount sold and redeemed
SlO5. 600 leaving balance of IS, 900 not
vet brought in for redemption, although
new bonds to that amount have been
sold, and therefore the work OF funding
the county debt is accomplished. BY
this operation the county saves annual
ly about 81 900. The rapid sale of the
new bonds speaks well for the financial
standing of Brooke county.

Honor Judge Melvin presiding. Quite
a number OF Wheeling attorneys were
present; among whom were Col. j. II.
