was adopted, providing that it shall
be in order to suspend the rules on
the first and third Mondays only of
every month, instead of on every
Monday, as the present rule pro-
vides, preference being given on the
first Monday to individuals and on
the third Monday to committees.
Mr.. Williams (Wis.) offered an
amendment to rule 29, SO as to re-
quire the house members of con,
ference committees to append to
their conference reports an explanas
ton of the points in controversy.
The amendment was adopted.
An amendment was adopted
changing in some particulars the
present method of drawing for
seats at the beginning of a
congress. An amendment was also
adopted reducing the fees of wit
nesses before the committees from
three to two dollars day.
No further amendments were Of
fered until the last of the rules was
disposed of, and that stage of
the proceedings was attended
with hand-clapping and other
demonstrations of qualification.
Several amendments, merely of a
verbal character, were afterwards
made and agreed to, when the COM
mittee reported the rules to the
house, and notice was given by Mr..
Blackburn (Ky.) that he would ask
final action upon them next Tues
day. Adjourned till Monday.

A Brutal Outrage.
[Maryville Index.l

One night last week brutal outrage
was committed in the fist district Of
this county.
A mob went to the house OF Minnis
Scott, an old colored man, and,
going into the house, they seized
the old man, placed sack over his
head, tied his hands behind him and
TOOK him some distance from his
mouse, where they most unmercifully
beat MIN; We can hear of no rea-
son Tor these villains acting thus, as
Scott is considered an inoffsnsive old
man. Such outrages are di4erace to
the county, aud no means should he
spared to bring the guilty parties TO
justice. Al last accounts no clue had
b-tn obtained as to who the guilty
paroles are

Entertainment at the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum

AsyIHm.
A nice entertainment was given
last night at the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum by Prof. G H. Pray, gentle
man sent out by charitable institutions
of the north, especially for the enter-
tainment of the inmates of insane
asylums, deaf and dumb schools, hos
pitfalls and all similar charities. The
performance consisted of displays of
manual and ocular skill, throwing
balls and knives, untyiug impossible
knots by breath, tossing plates to the
ceiling and catching them as they de-
scend on the tip Of slender rattan, in
all of which the professor evinced
degree of skill that 1t would
seem impossible to attain. These
exhibitions are claimed to havea cura
tive effect on the insane, and the
special mission Of Prof. Pray is in be-
half of this class of unfortunates. The
exhibition at the hail Of the asy lum
was watched with great interest by
the mutes, who found many ways of
expressing their appreciation. Prof
Pray will remain several days in the
city, and his skill deserves wider
publicity.
