i
Carolina revenue district, but will resume
the investigation in that State in the fall.
The evidence taken is important, and other
interesting developments are promised.
VIRGINIA MATTERS.
The full Elections Committee to-day
unanimously agreed TO report in favor OF
Colonel Cabel, and the House with equal
unanimity voted that he is entitled to the
seat he now occupies with so much credit
to himself and his State. Senator Johnston
introduced an amendment TO the sundry
civil bill appropriating $4,000 for the con-
structon OF a road from Richmond to the
National cemetery. Mr.. DezendOrf has in
troGuced bill for the relief of L. II. Muir
rill, OF Lynchburg. The Military Com
mittee OF the House has reported in favor OF
so, 900 for road from Danyllc TO the Ma
ticnal cemetery oh condition that Danville
shall contribute like amount to the work.
General IIunton was at the Capitol to-day.
TIE GUITEAU JURORS,
through Senator Logan, to-day asked Con-
gress to give them additional compensation.
They say that for seyenty-three days they
were separated from the rest Of the COM
munity and forced to abandon their busi-
ness. Their application went to the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
TIE TILLMAN AND sMALLs CASE.
The Republicans Of the House deter
mined to take up the South Carolina case
Of Tilman and Smalls, and give the seat
now occupied by the former to the latter.
They had no quorum, and rs the Democrats
refused to vote, they had to have a call OF
the House. Republicans say they will get a
quorum in day or two. Mr.. Dunnell,
who went home last night, is very much
condemned by them for so doing. Mr..
Tillman is a gallant and faithful represent
alive. and the contestant is a burly negro,
who is a chronic candidate for Congress.
Bv the arrival OF Messrs. Paul and others
the Republicans this evening obtained a
quorum, and expect tomorrow TO Gust
Tillman and Shelley.
TIE REPUBLICANS AND THE INTERNL-REv-
ENCE BILL.
The Republican senators held caucus
to-day. and while it is said they did not
reach any conclusion, it is believed that ii
was ascertained that the party is far from
being a unit in regard to the internal-rey-
enue bill. The best-iniormed politicians at
once predicted that if the Senate voted to
take up the naval appropriation bill against
the protest OF Mr. Morrill,, chairman OF the
Finance Committee, that that meant the
defeat of the internal-rcyenue bill, or its
postponement until December. When Mr..
Morrill, moved to take up the bill, General
Logan moved to 90 into executive session,
and his motion prevailed. This was con-
strued to indicate an adjournment by the
Goth.
When the Senate, ut O'Clock, came out
OF executive session, Mr.. Hale gave way
and allowed the internal-reyenue bill to be
taken I'D. Senator Voorhees, informed the
Republicans that the Democrats were ready
TO enter a contest OF physical endurance on
this bill.
