 Mf Coffroth, of Pennsylvania, introduced bill to prevent nepotisfn in g n5asufe.

 Under the rules of the House the third Monday in each month after the call of States committees are called for motions to suspend the rules. The Speaker decided to- day that he would call them in rotation. The first committee that was prepared to report was the Committee on.Banking and Currency, and MT. Price as the organ of the committee moved to take from the Committee of the Whole and pass the bill to repeal the law re- quiring stamp on bank checks.
 After squabble over the proper committee of reference a question was asked by Mir. Stevenson about the amount of revenue re- ceived from the stamp tax on these checks, and it was stated to be about $2, GOO, 900. Mir. Mills, of Texas, spoke against the bill, and Messrs Buckner, Haw1ey of Connecticut, and Cannon of Illinois. argued in favor of the bill. Mir. Price contended that the tax was annoying, and he denied that the banks would be benefited by the passage of the bill. MT. Warner opposed the bill because he believed the tax was one of the easiest paid, and that the people felt it less than any other.
 A vote was taken and the bill was defeated by vote of 13S to 6S, two-thirds not voting in the affirmative.
 MT. Bland, of Missouri, from the Commit tee on Coinage, reported bill appropriating SIC, ,00O dollars to establish an assay office at St. Louis, Mo, and it was passed.

 The London Standard this morning says that no serious attention need be paid to Mr. Kings impertinent notice of his motion, and that it is not worth while even to resent the ludicrous presumption of such meddlesome personal, upon which no American statesman of Secretary Evarts' rank and quality would dream of acting.

Disquieting News From South Africa
 The Capture of Heidelberg.
 LONDON, Dec 2O-The news from South Africa produced profound excitement almost amounting to consternation on the part of the government. Mr. Gladstone and the Earl of Kimberly, secretary of state for the colonies are now arranging a conference with the Duke of Cambridge, commander-in- chief of the army, and with the War office regarding the situation, and it is probable 8 Cabinet council to discuss it will be held inn mediately. Owing to the number of troops already sent to Ireland, the encouragement of the military so as to meet the demand from the Cape will cause great inconvenience. In Conservative circles it is caustically said that there is evidently secret understanding be- tween the Basutos and the Land League, the former having undertaken to produce di- version in favor of MT. Parnen and his com patriots. What the effect will be upon Eng land should another South African war break out, as seems likely at the present time, it is not easy to foresee.
 Further intelligence of the capture@ of Heidelberg by the Boers states that the af- fair is quite as serious as previously repre- sented An official dispatch from Pieter- maritzburg to the colonial authorities of Cape Colony says: 'On Sunday 5, 1000 Boers appeared and surrounded Heidelberg and de- manded the delivery of the place into their hands. Resistance being useless the demand was acceded to and the town given up. The Boers proceeded at once to establish repub- lie and proclaimed Paul Kruger president and Joubert commander. No collision oc- cured nor was any violence employed. Communication with Pretoria is cut off by the Boers Sir George Colby is sending afl available troops, but it is believed the chan ces of retaking Heidelberg slight until troops arrive from England. There is no doubt that Englands influence in the Trans vaal is greatly shaken by this event.
 Later advices from Cape Town state that the Basutos forced Colonel Carrington's pa trolling division, and then retired to Tembus, where they repulsed the attack of the colo nia1 troops.
