Adjournment Of Congress.

Congress adjourned on Wednesday
after All uneventful session of seven
was not done. All the surplus steam
was lot of during the heat Of the extra
session, aud both parties were willing
10 move slowly. Tho Republicans
discovered at an early day, as well as
the democrats, TINT every wavo of the
bloody shirt gave all impulse to
Grants boom, and In consequence the
ensanguined garment was packed
away In camphor for future occasion.
At the last moment President Hayes
vetoed the amended marahals' bill.
which gave appointment Of these men
to tho courts instead Of to unprinciplcd
partisans. The reasoning OF the veto
mes:a@" was spccious and Of little
force, and :hc Democrats laid It on the
table for future consideration, thus
going rs fer rs they could w;;hou,
showing absolute disrr*pcct 10 the
'nan in the White House. Deputy
'marsl'als will continue to be appointed
~ heretofore, and to be uscd as parf
OF thc Rrdical machinery.
The joint rule for counting the
electoral vote was, owing to the
hIlioustering Of the Republicans, post
poEcd for consideration in Dccember.
thus leaving that important question
still open. When tho Radicals had
possession of both houses they passed
the k'mous twenty-sccond Joint rule
Which provided that the vote of a
State could be rejected by either
branch. This rnlc expired BY linlita-
uon IN 1915, and tho Electoral Com
mlSsiHn was substituted. This wear
th" Democrats framed a rule based on
o"' rNbmiited formerly by Senator
M"ri"A' and similar to rule proposed
~ r"munds. But the Rrruhliy.us
pretend TO believe at this state thot !,
.!oint rn'c is unconstitutional, and they
secretly hope to prevent any action so
That they may have an opportunity to
repeat The steal they carried out so
successfully IN 1876. According TO
tr'e'r theory the Vice President has the
right to count the vote. The Demo-
cfa's VIII not submit to this nonscnsc,
the more especially as Wheeler who
was nmsclf counted in is not Il man

HOW LIT GENERALLY lI.tpPENs.-W
met the other day the reporter Of a
"socicty' paper. She assured us that
the thirst of the public for names was
something reinarkable The more
names that filed the columns of So
clety paper the more entertaining il
was considered. Her account of her
quest OF society information was not
llttlc amusing, and showed Il curious
side OF human nature. The scene is
that OF BRILLIANT party, all the re-
marknblc dresses Of which arc TO be
described in the columns OF the society
paper. The following dialogue takes
place: Reporter TO sllowilv dressed
Flora McFlimSy--''I would like TO de.
scribe your dress. Will Won allow
me? | am the reporter Of The society
news"
Flora-"Oh, mercy, no: YOU must not
do anything Of the kind; mamma
would dislike it so much."
Reporter, turning TO go--"Vcrv
well. it makes no ,incrcncc."
Flora. hcsitatingly-"Dcarm mo. did
YOU really want TO write about III,
Rcportcr-''l had thought TO make

sary.'
Flora-''ilow awfully odd il would
bc to stand mp and have YOU look me
all over, and then write about my
dress. No, | am sure mamma would
not like it,"
Reporter bows and Turns to depart
VERY well, Just as You say"
Flora, fastening after the reporter
."Comc back and write abont my dress
II YOU want to. Ma won't care---any-
way | can't help il if she does"
1t is thus that the public learn the
important information that Miss Flora
McFlimsy was at Mrs. Blanks bril-

made so and so and trimmed so and SO.

TIllRTY-SETEN STATES

az large as Illinois, which was once
called Il large State. When this west
crn territory is as dcnscly populated
as Illinois was in 1870 even. it will
have over nincty-six million people,
whereas it now has only onc-tifth our
population. Surely there Is much
land yet to be possessed, Of the very
best sort, too.-somG oft.
An observing Traveller in western
Nebraska recently said: "Thc land
here was trodtlcn down hard bv the
buffalo and herds of cattle roaming
over it. So that when rain fell, it did
not penetrate below the dry sod; but as
soon as the land is broken up, and the
soil pu'vcrizcd on the surface, the rain
vets down in some places fifteen feet"
II this be true, VIC may expect that all
these vast grazing areas will be cut up
into farms, and owned by the indus
trions people who come to the agricul-
ural States TO make themselves homes.
This same gentleman said: "S,omc
idea OF the rush Of cmiyrants to Nc
braska this year could be gathered
from the fact that on the first week OF
March, 1879. the Chicago, Burlington
u Quincy Railroad took

on tic first week Of March, 1880, the
same company took lG9 carloads OF
cmlgrants into the State at the same
place" This is only a repetition Of
what is being done on all thc trunk
lines from st. Louis to Duluth.
What arc the possibilities OF this
great land? II is the land of bread.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

New York, Oct. 16.-In the
house of deputies of the Protest
ant Episcopal convention the
following preamble and resolu-
ton were recommended for
adoption and placed on the calendar:
Whereas, the work of the church
of Christ and the best interests of
Christian civilization are seriously
impeded in one of the territories Of
the United States by the existence
of poligamy, recognized by large
proportion of the community as a
religious institution, and
Whereas, poligamy is not only
contrary to the law of God, but is
also forbidden under severe penalties
in the territories of the United
States by an act of congress, which
has been declared constitutional by
the supreme court of the United
States. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the use of bishops
concurring that while there are pc
culiar difficulties in execution of this
law owing to religious fanaticism,
doubtless oftentimes sincerity which
institutions of paligamy is upheld
and especially to fsiS fact that the in
terests of many foeent persons are
unhappily involved. It is still the
duty of every Christian and citizen of
this republic to rse his inflerce to
aid our government in bringing about
as speedily as possible, merciful but
firm enforcement of the law in regard
to poligamy or bigamy in territories of
the United States. The petition of
several parishes of missionary juris-
diction of Dacota, asking for admis-
sion as regular diocese and the re-
port of the co nmittee on new dioceses
averse to prayer of the petitioners
was next considered. The house
adjourned without taking action.

A BIG FIRE.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. IA
fire broke out in one of the cotton
sheds of the commercial cotton press
wharf company at 2 o'clock this after
noon. A strong northwest wind
swept the flames rapidly down the
wharf, consuming two large cotton
sheds and one brick warehouse
partially stored with cotton.
The fire soon spead to the
cotton on the wharves and thence
three British iro steamships, Bar
rowdale, Travelcore and Bedford,
which were lying at the pier, were
partially loaded with cotton. The
Barrowdale is Lady damaged, and
still burning, having on aboard
about 5000 bales of cotton. The
Travancore and Bedford are only
slightly damaged, and the derrick on
the Bedford was burned, ,and in falling
struck the third mate on the head,
killing him almost instantly. The
estimated loss is 1000 bales of cot
ton, valued at $4,000, exclusive of
the burned and damaged cotton on
the steamships. The damage to the
buildings, sheds and wharves of the
Commercial Wharf Co., is $4,000,
fully insured. The total loss is
about $2,OO0,0O0, fully covered by
insurance, mostly in foreign com
panies.

false, but has no shade of foundation
save in the wishes of those who
invented the absurd statement 1t
is simply an electioneering trick OF a

know the devices to which desperation
leads political partisans. The May

His speech was a mastery arraign-

legislation under the republican ad-

wisdom and how this wise legislation

demonstrated with great clear
ness and force the wisdom and success
of the republican financial policy.
He discussed the hard: lines cried,

grown and greatly prospered, while
Virginia under democratic rule has
steadily retrograded. His depuncia
tionof repudiation was wit lering anC
calculated to make even repudi tior

He gave a brief, but clear and concise
history of the state Debt, and spoke in
strong terms of the dishonor thst

He spoke two hours and a-half and
was given the closest attention to the
close. The effort can net fail to exer-
else salutary influence upon those
who heard him.
