ELIZABETH, W. Va, June IL, 1880.
Editor Register: Quite an excite
ment was created this morning by
the startling intelligence that Foster
4 Sanders store room had been rob-
bed during the night. We repaired
to the scene and found that the burg
lar proof safe q had been blown open
and about s46oin money taken and
several dollars worth ofistamps. The
only goods taken were a half dozen
revolvers and q few silk handker-
chiefs. Considerable damage was
done by the explosion to the Post
Office department and to the queens
ware and glassware lining the
shelves near where the safe sat. The
burglars entered the building through
a window in the second story. A
number of persons heard the explos-
ion, but no one suspected anything.
No clue to the perpetrators.

In spite OF the universal interest
centering at Chicago, the seat Of gov
eminent has remained at Washing
ton, and the proceedings at the Ma
tional Capitol have not been desti-
tute of importance, The House has,
made another offer to adjourn, but
the date is still too early. 1t passed
on Thursday the General Deficiency
Appropriation Bill, after charac-
teristic wrangling with the silver
problem. Some recognition had to
bemade of Secretary sherman's re-
quest for more storage, and the bill
appropriated $4,000 for that pur-
pose. Mr.. Bland wanted all the
amounts appropriated in the act and
the full amount of Congressmen's
salaries paid in silver, and was will
ing to allow $4,000 for the storage
Of SO much as might be returned into
the Treasury in return for silver GER
Etificates. Mr.. Townshend wanted all
Federal salaries paid in silver; Mr..
| Warner all government expenses
and obligations" paid in gold or sill.
yer coin without discrimination or
favor, but without waving the fright
of option"-of course to pay in the
baser metal. In the end the original
proposition was adopted, and $4,000
more were sacrificed to The "0hio
idea" The bill also contains pro-
vision that no part of the appropria-
ton for marshals and their deputies
shall be used in payment Of services
rendered at any election. On Satur-
day the House passed the Senate bill
authorizing joint committee to con.
slider the question of increasing the
Recommendations of the Library Of
Congress within the Capitol, or Of Sc
lectinga site for it outside, and on
Monday, another tardy and perilously
urgent ineasure-the Senate Billcon-
frming the Ute agreement, but with
amendments Of an obstructive char.
| acter.
4 The Senate achievements have
been the passage of the River and
Harbor Appropriation Bill, and Mr.,
Eaton's Tariff Commission Bill
There was an bipartisan yet firm
majority for keepingthis commission
out of politics by excluding Con-
gressmen from it; but they were I'M
able to prevent an amendment order
ing a final report in January next.

ing the Chicago Convention has en-.

political workers have relapsed into
