RS" PoToMAC CEMENT Nnls.--The
Potomac Cement Mills brlow town, are
now RAINING regularly, though not TO
their full capacity. The daily average
is about scvcnty-frc barrels. Some 20
or % hands are kept in constant EN-
ployment under the management of Mr..
j. Il. Lucas, the efficient Superinteud-
ent. There has recently been rut up in
the mill set of new and improved
burrs, for grinding the cement, which
are said 20 be superior TO the old sly le
of burr We noticed the other day,
about one thousand barrels of cement
ready for MAJ ket; about seven Hundred
of that number has since been shipped
OH the boat of Mr.. J. w. Osbourn, via
Chesapeake u Ohio Canal TO Washing
ton. This cement is now considered the
best in the country, and the demand for
it is rapidly increasing. The five kllns
are constantly burning. and the business
of the mill has neccssilated the building
OF new packing lime, which is now
being made by that expert Old mill
wright, Mr.. Davy Harms, of Williams
port, Nd.

e. ANOTHER NLTo.-Mr. Hayes has
given another evidence OF back bone by
vetoing the separate bill passed by Con
gress "to prohibit military interference
at elections"
The reasons he assigns are too iimsy
to conceal the real purpose he cherishes
in regard to the employment of troops
at the polls. While protesting to be
opposed to such use of the military his
vrtoes indicate that lie can be relied on
to have the army in readiness for polit-
ical emergencies such as will probably
occur al The next presidential election.
1t is rather rough on the country that
n man who has no right TO be President
should practically usurp the Legislative
power OF the Government. We hope
the Democrats will maintain their stand
and allow the army to dissolve rather
than permit its use as the extreme Rad
icals demand.

The Executive Session Of the Sonata


WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-In the execu
tive session, after the reading of the Presi-
dents message and Secretary Sherman's
letter, regarding the New York Custom
House nominations, Senator Conkliug
made speech, closing with an expression
OF the opinion that the Senate should pro-
coed to consider and act upon the pendinp
nominations without further postnone9
meut. Senator Mathews offered a resolu.
ton providing: First, that the message
and accompanying documents should be
printed and laid on the table, and that
further consideration of the nominations
should be postponed until next ldonday.
The first branch of this resolution was
agreed to without division, but the propo-
sltiOn tor p0stponement gave rise to an ex-
tended discussion. Finally vote by yeas
and nays was taken on Mathews resolu-
on to postpone, and result d il is adops
ti,n-yess IS, nays 26. The affirmative
votes were cast mostly by the Democrats,
and the negative votes by the Republicans.
Mathews, Hoar, Dawes, Burnside, Wiz
dom, Wadleigh Mitchell and Ferry, how
ever, voted in favor OF postponement, and
Eaon, Barnum. Voorhees,, Davis, (In9
and Mcpherson were recorded in the neg
alive. This vote does net absolutely
foreshadow favorable action on the nonin-
atoms, fer several Senators who voted for
postponement are defnately known to be
opposed to them, but the advocates of con-
tirmation have been greatly encouraged By
1t, and tonight they confidently expect
success in the final vote on Monday.
