THE DEBATE in the senate over the
Kellogg Spoford case continues and does
not seem to be near an end yet. Senator
Hill occupied the floor for two days last
week in speech against Kellogg. He
was replied to by senator Carpenter who
completely demolished Hills argument.
Wade Hampton has since spoken in favor
of Kellogg's right to his seat, taking the
ground that the question having been
once settled by the senate cannot now be
reopened. Any other doctrine than this
would lead to the greatest confusion and
would be simply nonsense. Let Hills
theory be sustained, and a senator holds
his seat by sufferance only, for he is liable
to be unseated any time when the MAORI
ty choose to turn him adrift. If Spoford
should be given the seat now, precedent
would be established by which the repub-
licans, when they regain ascendancy
in the senate, could vote Spoford out and
Kellogg in. In this way senator's title
to his seat would never be considered set
tied There is no sense whatever in the
proposition ex-senator Hill, and the senate
In all probability will defeat it.

REPUBLICAN state conventions were
held on Wednesday, in Florida, Michi-
gan and West Virginia. The thirty-five
Florida delegates were instructed to vote
at Chicago for Grant for president, and
Thomas Settle for vice-president. The
twenty-five delegates chosen in Michigan
were requested to use all proper efforts to
secure the nomination of Blaine reso-
luton was adopted pledging Michigan to
the support Of the nominee at Chicago,
whoever he might be an anti-third term
resolution was tabled West Virginia 5
ten delegates were instructed for Blaine ;
the district delegates, as well as those at
large, were chosen by the full convention,
despite the earnest opposition of the Sher-
man men, who had hoped to sandwich in
few Sherman delegates from the con-
gressional districts. Tuesday, the Ne
yada republicans chose a solid Blaine
delegation of six. Illinois and Nebraska
hold their conventions to-day.

CONGRESS- At I'd UT.

Judge Benedict in the United States
circuit court, at New York on Wednesday
discharged all the jurors for the term,
congress not having appropriated money
to pay them. Marshal Payne has also
notified Attorney Gen. Devens that there
is no money at his disposal to pay for the
boarding of government prisoners. Gen.
Devens has replied that with regard to
the non-payment of jurors it is not to be
expected the courts can keep the juries
longer than would be necessary to try the
cases of men who are actually in jail. In
regard to the appropriation for the sup
port of prisoners he says there is no rea-
son to doubt that it will be made, and it
might, therefore, be reasonably expected
that the keepers Of jails where govern
ment prisoners are kept would continue
to wait for their pay. In regard to the
marshals themselves the Attorney Gener-
al says he is aware that they have had no
money for nearly eleven months, and
thinks they are entitled to great credit
for the exertions they have already made,
but he does not doubt they, too, will con-
tinue to wait. He says he is aware, too,
that unless the appropriations are made
the courts must inevitably stop, which
would be great injury to all parties in
terested He said he had informed the
appropriations committee in February
that the two appropriations were nearly
exhausted, and in April that they were
actually exhausted with the exception OF
such sums as might then remain in the
hands of the marshals themselves. The
action of this democratic congressssn de-
laying necessary appropriations is also
seriously felt in another quarter, affecting
as it does all the postofices in the coun-
try which are i'll government buildings.
There being no money appropriated to
pay for gas and water, the Postmaster
General has formally notified postmasters
that they must cut of, the supply of these
two articles, The postmaster at Boston,
not wishing to close his office at dark,
asked authority from the Postmaster Gen
eral to light his Office with candles, to
which modest request that official replied
by telegram as follows This depart
| ment can give you no relief By next
mail the postmaster received from the de-
partment the following letter: g In re-
| ply to your telegram Of the 18th inst, ]

ings with light, water, and miscellaneous

amount appropriated by congress for such
purposes will be exhausted. The post

The CHICAGO TIMES, Of Saturday
contained a letter from its Milwaukee
correspondent reviewing the political stu
alton III this state, in which there are
many absurd statements. The conclu-
sion arrived at is that Gen. Grant, il
nominated, cannot carry the state, and
the opinion is based upon what the cor
respondent considers reliable information
gathered from different quarters, particu-
larly where there is a large German vote
Among other thing he says Postmaster
Moak, of Watertown, insists that the
Germans of Jefferson county are solid
against Grant, and will vote as a unit
against him in case of his nomination. -
Nothing Of the kind, We are authorized
by Postmaster Moak to say, was ever
stated by him, for such he does not I'M
derstand to be the fact While it is un-
doubtedly true that Gen. Grant is not
the first choice Of the German repI1bli-
cans in this section, their republicanism
is too well grounded to permit them to
bolt in case of his nomination. If demo
cratic hopes of carrying the state are not
founded upon more reliable basiss than
that Of republican detection in and about
WATERFOWL, they may as well be aban-
doned at once, and Wisconsin may safely
be put down for the republican nominee,
whoever he may be.

THE EMIGRATION from English ports
to the United States is SO great that
steamship lines are unable to supply the
demanded facilities to cross the Atlantic.
A number of the companies have put on
extra steamers, while some which sold
tickets in advance have to pay detention
money to emigrants.

Six OF Brigham Young's daughters
have been turned out of the Mormon

of defrauding the heirs out of million
dollars of the late prophets money.
Quite naturally, they are greatly disgust

IT IS CLAIMED that the detection of
the New York delegation from Gen.
Grant continues. 1t is now stated by
persons who profess to know that twenty
nine delegates from that state will vote
against Grant on the first ballot An eff
fort is being made, it is rumored, to con-
solidate the delegation in favor OF Hamil-
ton Fish, ex-Secretary of state.

one of the delegates being for Blaine, the
