HoUsE-AFTERNooN SESSION.
Washington, May THE house con-
tinued the discussion of the bill relating
to coinage, and coin and bullion certi-
ficates.
Clafin declared that even Kelley, of
Pennsylvania. had assented to the act
for the demonetization of silver.
Kelley denied this. and Clafiin had the
Record read to prove it.
Kelley said againit was not true, and
moreover that he had learned a good
deal since the act passed He denounced
the pending bill.
Vance favored it.
Keifer asked Vance if he and other
democrats in the house had not voted
to deprive the trade dollar of legal
tender quality.
Vance confessed he did not fully un-
derstand the matter at that time. He
declared that the national banks charged
an exorbitant interest. Eighteen per
cent. was not an unusual rule, and in
some parts of North Carolina five per
cent. per month was charged. This
sort of legislation tended to destroy the
nations of Europe; the country was in
more danger from this class of legisla-
tion than from being starved to death,
but its destruction was not to be. His
motto was, sour country first, our
country last, our country all the time"
Applause.

A Hunting Party.

There has been party of English
gentlemen in our city for several days
past, preparing to take protracted
hunt in and about the region of the
Laramie Peak. They came to the city
fully armed and equipped, as they
thought, but after examining the arms
improved by Freund Bros, of this city,
they found they had made a mistake in
the purchase of their weapons in the
east and gladly paid the difference in
exchange for the rifles with Freund
Bros. Improvements.
Thoroughly fitted out this morning,
the party started on their hunting tour
composed of the following gentle
men:
Messrs. J. NJ. Mitchelson, j. Mitchell
son, A. Hubbard and Harry Yount,
the well known guide and scout, who
will lead them over the wild plains and
teach the English gentlemen how to
hunt successfully the antelope and
deer, and hook the finny tribe from
the mountain streams.

Bad News from Africa.

London, May IA correspondent
telegraphs that the reports of interviews

are unsatisfactory.
A dispatch dated Durham, April "a,
says that Cetewayo's brother, Azegul-
CO, wishes to surrender. Col. Newdi-
gate, who commands in the direction
of Dornburg, and is accompanied by
Lord Chelmsford, has signalled to Col.

finally establish himself on the Umvo-
losi Bush, to cut off the Zulu retreat.
A dispatch dated Cape Town, April

A dispatch from Maritzburgh states

LIGHTNING FLASHES.

The greater portion of the time of the
United States senate yesterday was oc-
cupied with the question of Kellogg g
title to seat in that body. Spirited
speeches were made by Conkling, Voor-
hees, Hoar and others.
The Washington Star stated last
night that it had good reason to believe
the president will sign the pending bill
relative to the army at the polls. 1t is
claimed the bill only more clearly de-
fines existing legislation on the matter.
Congressman Daggett, of Nevada,

stanley's case-comba,ive Actor.

New York, May THE impression
among the friends of Gen. Stanley,
who have closely watched the case, is
that the verdict taken to Washington
Yesterday was one of acquittal. STAN
lev received from Gen. Sherman, yes
terday, orders to return to duty at
Buffalo, and there await further in
structions from Gen. Hancock, presi-
dent of the court martial. This fact,
added TO the course to which the court
martial has been ordered to pursue,
strengthens the opinion among army
officers that the authorities in Washing
ton have determined upon the trial of
Hazen, and are taking preliminary steps
in the matter.
George s. Knight, a comedian, was
arrested last night at the suit of his
manager, John Rickaby, for having
violently assaulted at the theatre Sat

affidavit, broken Rickaby's collar bone
and inflicted other injuries, for which
damages are laid at $4,000.

The Official Story.

st. Petersburg, Russia, May THE
Journal says the news published
abroad about the state of affairs here is
untrue. There has been no prohibit
tion against the possession of arms,
but persons possessing arms must in
form the authorities. The statements
that the theaters could not be visited
without official permit. and that lights
in houses would not be allowed after
ten O'Clock are ridiculous inventions.
The city lives and works in the same
manner as heretofore, without excite
ment and is undisturbed in its daily
life and intercourse.

The telegraphic dispatches from
Washington played the usual havoc
with name. The announcement that
G. H. Lamon had been appointed
United States district attorney for
Wyoming was misprint. The nomi-
nee is Hon. Charles H. Layman, repub-
lican representative in the present
Illinois general assembly from Jackson
county. He is a lawyer of fine ability
and lucrative practice. Although a
young man, he has been county judge
of jackson.

New Constitution Defeated.

San Francisco, CAL, May THE
opposition concede this city by 5000
majority against the constitution. The
majority will probably be over 10000.
The returns from the interior are yet
too meagre to state, with any accuracy,
the result of them, but the present indi-
cotions are that the vote outside of San
Francisco will give small majority in
favor of the new constitution. There
is no question, however, as to the defeat
of the instrument, as the majority
against it in this city will far more than
overcome the majority for it in the
country,

The Wind-up of the Convention.

Vicksburg, Miss, May After the
reading of Gov. Foote'S resolutions of
peace, w. B. Pittman, a lawyer here,
denounced Gov. Foote as political
trickster and demagogue. Applause
by whites, and excitement.
H. B. Robson (colored) strove to
quiet the convention. He approved
Foote'S resolutions, but said they were
big pill for the whites to swallow at
one time. If the conditions of the
resolutions were carried out in good
faith the exodus would cease.
Gov. Foote made a spirited reply to
Pitman. The original resolutions were
adopted. The negroes refrained from
voting.
Adjourned sine die.
The convention was noted for intel
iigence. The general idea was that
the spirit developed would be carried
out In practice, and that the exodus
VIII await until the next election to
prove the sincerity or falsity of the
promises extended.
