tiyes held another business session to-day, aud az
ter somewhat irrelevant discussion. passed the
regular Pensions Appropriation bill, which calls for

in no mood to-day TO accept Mr.. Cotroths amend
mept to extend for year two longer the time Tor
fling new applications under that law. Mr. HUB
bell who had the bill in charge made "a clear state
ment, showing that S24. 00J, 600 has already been
paid under the ArrGn act and that, suppos-
ing 30 per cent Of the PSI 900 claims now pending
under that act to be rejected. 1877 900 more first
payments. averaging Sl,l00 each, will be required.
10 meet these and other claims, which will
average about $567 EACH will require over
$2l0, 900, coo, making, with the amount already
paid about $243, 100000. This will be required
to meet first payments only. Tie average age Of
pensioners, Mr. Hubbel says, is forty-One years,
and he estimates that the annual payments, when
all the pending claims disposed Of Will amount
toabOut $40 coo. 600.
NJ. HubUell declared that the present pension
laws do not affOrd sufficient safeguards aGaust at

B., won the heat by length, Hosmer of Boston, Mass, being second, Riley of Sarato- ga, N. Y, third and Nicholson of Stockton on-Tees fourth. It was a fine race.

S., was second, Trickett of Sydney, N. S. w, third and Flaw don of DeIaval, fo urth. Laycoek rowed in slen- did form.

A Double Execution.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The negroes, Jo- seph Neverson Glids ttBabe Bedford'' and Ed ward Queenan, convicted of the murder of George Philip Hirth on the 7th of January last, were hanged here to-day. Another ne- gro named Sandy Pinn was also convicted, but President Hayes upon recommendation of the Attorney-General, commuted his sen- tence to imprisonment for life. The negroes murdered Hirth while he was on his way to visit his sweetheart.
 Queenan and Bedford spent the morning in praying and singing. At 1:15 the death warrants were read to them, and at 1:30 the trap was sprung. They died easily, Both made speeches denying their guilt or any connection with the murder, saying that time would prove that they were hanged innocently They said they were prepared to die, and hoped to meet the murdered man and all present in Heaven. There were no unusual scenes, the execution being conduct ed quietly and in order. The execution was to great extent private, but few in compar- ison to the numbers who have witnessed pre- vious executions being present The scaf- fold was erected in corridor in one of the wings of the iail.

A Mad Dog Running Amuck.
 NEW YORK, Nov 19.-The police of the Thirty-ffth preoinctreport that the village of Spuyten Duyvil was thrown into great ex- citement yesterday by the sudden appearance of mad dog coming from the direction of Riverdale. It ran about snapping angrily at whatever came in it's way, and foaming at the mouth. Seeing the six years old daughter of Charles Connor, an inhabitant of the village it attacked her, and fastening it's teeth in her face tore her flesh vlciously. The chlld's screams and the shouts of the neighbors who summoned up courage to attack the brute drove it away, and it ran toward Kingsbridge and had nearly reached that village when 1t was overtaken and killed by Thomas Bates of Spuyten Duyvil. The child is suffering acutely.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Colonel Robert G. IngersoI is stopping in this city for a few days, and is receiving many friends and visit ors. In an interview he was asked, 'sHow do you regard the present political situation ?'' He replied, My opinion is that the ideas the North fought for upon the field have at last triumphed at the ballot box For several  years after the rebellion was put down south ern ideas travelled North. We lost West Vir- ginia, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York and great many Congressional districts in other States. We lost both houses of Con gress and every southern State. Southern ideas reached their climax in 1876 In my judgment the tide has turned, and hereafter the northern idea is going South. The young men are on the Republican side The old Democrats are dying, the cradle is beating the coffin. It is a case of life and death, and life is ahead. The heirs outnumber the ad- ministration D
 ssWhat kind of President do you think Garfield will make ?'' My opinion is that he will make as good President as this na- tion ever had. He is fully equipped. He will treat the South just the same as the North. He will be President of the whole country. He will not execute the laws by compass, but according to the Constitution. I do not speak for General Garfield nor by any authority from his friends ?

The Tramp Law.

The, discussion at the recent meeting of the Prison Aid association in Hartford brought out the fact that there have been about thirty commitments to the State prison during the past year under what is known as the tramp law'' Most of them had a six months sen- tence, and as a punishment this short term, it is claimed is wholly inadequate as reform atory measure.
