was rejected. He then offered his
amendment, in a modified form,
providing that, after the resolution

Mr.. Ellis, of Louisiana, offered a
resolution increasing the member
ship of the Committee on Elections
from eleven to nineteen, and stated
that he did so in the interest of
economy and correctness of repre-

pens that owing to a press of busi
ness that committee was not able to
report ON election cases until the
last days Of the session. Mr.. Mills,
of Texas, thought that every cons
tested election case should go to a
special committee.
Mr.. Frye, of Maine, said he de-
sired to apologize for the remark
which he had made the other day,
namely, that he did not believe in
the total depravity of the Demo

Florida case had shown him that he
was mistaken. Laughter, The
resolution was finally referred to the

sustained his ruling, it had gone out

In the Senate a large number of
bills were introduced, among them
one by Mr.. Beck repeating so much
of the Revised Statutes as prohibits
the appointment to the army of any
person engaged in the late rebel
lion.
Mr.. IIoar offered resolution
condemning as unconstitutional and
InsurrectiOnary the attempt of one
house to make the passage of the
Appropriation bills conditional on
consent Of the other house and the
President, to provisions they do not
approve.

ton went over.

approved by him to be treated as

NEW YORK.

New York, March 21.-It is
announced that the proposed match
between the famous English colt
Peter and James r. Keen's Spend
thrift at Jerome Park next fall is in
the hands of parties who mean
business, and that the race viii IN
doubtedly be run. 1t is to be a
mile and a half race, for SO, 600.
The English colt has been beaten
but once, and Spendthrift has never
been beaten at all. There is much
interest existing in sporting circles
over the matter.
O'Leary has handed over the
champion bet to Rowell, though he
has not received back the FIVE hun
dred dollars which he deposited in
London before the belt was taken
by him. The next contest for the
Ast!ey belt is to take place in Lon

ject to the same conditions as those
which governed the recent match.

paper severely rejecting on Senator
@. I. Smith, of Wilson, for pub
fishing a speech which reflected on
Massey. The language of the lat

alluded to, for unrefnement, indeli-

defamation and vindictiveness sur
passed anything he had ever heard

GREAT BRITAIN.

. LONDON, March 2I.-The Pail
UaU Gazette says: 1t would be
useless to remain silent any longer
respecting the uneasy feeling that
exists in the city. 70 those who
are accustomed to feel the pulse of
Lumbard street and vicinity the
aspect presented during the past
week has been such as to remind
one Of occasions, with which we are
far from instituting a comparison.
The names Of institutions Of high
standing have been made free with
q manner to alarm those who easily
lose their heads, and rumors arising
out OF very little, perhaps, have
become more and more serious by
repetition. We do not mean to
deny that there may be grounds for
SO -.e uncaslness. Trade is gen
orally notoriously depressed. The
Eastern trade in particular has
been in collapse for years.
bGN DuSiiIt0o, AOSSto dtih Use iOCh-
up Of capital was therefore to be
expected and prepared for. But we
would remind those who may be
di8composed by therumoIs, now too
general to be any longer disregard
cd, with what we face in the present
temper Of the public mind, a scare
can be got up. Only two months
ago, few people stopping to talk
at the door of one of the greatest
Of the London joint stock lanks,
actually caused a run upon it.
Another point that should be borne
in mind is that disasters that do
happen are scarcely ever foreseen.
How many persons heard anything
to the detriment Of the City Of |
Glasgow Bank before it closed
