YrsrERDAY's session OF Congress was
quite interesting from the fact that several
important measures were before both the
House and the Senate. In the House the
sundry civil appropriation bill was con-
sidered in the committee Of the whole.
Much opposition was manifested in regard
to the appropriations asked for the erection
Of the various public buildings, so that
when the committee rose but FIVE clauses
relating to public buildings had been
passed over. The House took recess
till tomorrow. The last twenty minutes
Of the session were consumed in vain at
tempts to obtain night session and Mr..
Blackburn, who was in the chair, was
finally compelled to declare that the
House had taken recess, amid storm
Of demands from the Democratic side for
q vote by tellers.
In the Senate consideration was resum-
ed of the Joint Resolution providing for
q rule for counting the Electoral vote.
Several attempts were made by the Re-
publican Senators to amend the Resolu-
ton SO as to modify the power it conferred,
but they were futile, being rejected by q
strict party vote, and the measure finally
passed.
Bayard's bill providing for the manner
ofthe appointment Of Supervisors of EIec-
tons was taken up, but the Republicans
refrained from voting, and upon call Of
the Senate quorum failed to answer,
whereupon 1t adjourned.

GLOOMY REPUBLICANS.

The Enect Of the Illinois Convention
HanifestiuE ITSELF
NEw ALBANY, May 2s-The effect Of the
Illinois State Convention upon the Repub-
licans Of this part Of Indiana is anything
else but cheerful. The prospect that the
Convention gives of the nomination of
Grant has cast shadow over.the hearts Of
fully two.thirds Of the Republican party
here, and has brought bitter feeling to
the most thoughtful men Of the party
that bodies no good, should the Chicago
Convention consummate the work com.
menced at Springfield, in which the ma
chine protruded itself In almost every act
OF the dominant faction.
A leading and prominent, as well as In
flueutIal, citizen OF this city said to-day:
"That Springfield Convention freezes me.
II has snapped all the enthusiasm there
was in me. fearit means the defeat OF
the Republican party, for 1t Is certain II
the Chicago Convention forces Grant up.
ON the party he will be defeated. There
are thousands OF Republicans in Indiana
that will not vote for him." This kind OF
expression is general and not exceptional.
While Indiana Is not as strong Tor Blaine
to-day by ten to one as she was three
months ago, her Republicans are more
hostile TO Grant than ever before. sher-
man Is really the choice Of the party In
this State.

Stolen Bonds Given as Collateral.
NEw YoRK, May 24-About year ago
s. @. CARL was introduced to the Bank Of
the Metropolis by his brother. G. E. CARL,
former Treasurer Of Queens county, who
had long been depositor in
the bank. With such introduction the
bank allowed him an open account.
Later on he applied for some loans
upon Government bonds, which were
made. These were gradually increased,
the collaterals offered in each instance
being Government bonds OF different
issues, until they reached the sum OF
$4,000. At this point, although
there was nothing In the transac.
tions to stimulate inquiry, all the
transfers having been duly executed
and acknowledged before proper officers
at the sub-treasurY by the city, yet from
abundant causes application was made to
the treasury department in Washington
to verify the genuineness OF collat-
erals, all sf which were in the
form OF bonds and registered in Carll's
name. These inquiries ultimately
disclosed the fact that although the bonds
were genuine issues, yet they were all
stolen bonds. from which the names OF the
real owners had been most skiliully erased
and Carll's name substituted. CARL Is in
