event will be duly advertised and published,
with request that the press of the State

knowing who will be President. We burn it
in the same spirit that tea was thrown overheard
in Boston harbor in 1776 We burn il to com
memorate the infamy you have heaped upon the
workmen of your factory. We burn it that it
may be enbla0oned Texas that you placed a
buldozing bulletin on the walls of your factory
addressed 10 your workmen, after you had con-
demned 'Copiah county, Miss and Danville,
Va, that we may condemn your lying cant and
-aEathematize your hypocrisy, and that it may
make your vile name odious for all tame to come
where liberty is known and freemen exist. We
burn it to indicate the full measure OF our be-
lief that we consider you as the complete en-
bodiment of all vileness, of low, dirty, and
abominable villainy, and of being guilty of sin
that threatens the institutions of this country,
by trying to rob freemen of their birthright,
and Stultifying decency by bulldozing those who
are under You. We burn it to let our fellow
,countrymen of Texas know that we never desire
to touch or handle anything of your creation or
make, and that we consider the despicable
coercion as criminal. We burn it to consume
spokes, felloes, hubs, axles etc. that have been
made by the blood and sweat of victims who
you have reduced below the standard of man

Debate on the Franchise Bill.

LONDON, Nov. lin the Commons, to-day,
the franchise bill passed the third reading with
out division. During the debate Mr.. Goschen
expressed regret that the Conservatives had been
influenced by the Conservative success in South
Warwickshire to persist in their opposition to
the franchise bill AS long as the Conservatives
refused to indicate their attitude in regard to
Gladstone's proposals, the government would be
unable to introduce the redistribution bill
MI Gladstone reminded the opposition that
Sir Robert Peel's refusal to compromise on a
former question resulted IN the humiliation of
the Lords. If they were not destined to have
peace, the government, at any rate would leave
it on record that they desired peace. Liberal
cheers.
Sir Richard Cross, Conservative, replying in
behalf of the opposition, said the government
must proceed on their own responsibility.

WASHINGTON, Nov 11.-Congress will con-
vene on the LIST day of December, and will ad-
journ on March 4. The regular session would
be of thirteen weeks duration, were it not for
the holiday vacation This usually occupies
two weeks, SO that we viii have but eleven weeks
of Congress this winter unless the President
calls an extra session, and that is altogether i'm
probable, unless some great issue should arise
and be pending on the day of adjournment
There will, however be an extra session of the
Senate. This is customary, for the purpose of
confirming the Cabinet and other presidential
appointments.
An exciting winter is anticipated here. There
will be very live issues before Congress, includ-
ing bills affecting shipping, pensions, diplomatic
matters, interstate commerce, the telegraph
presidential succession, ETC., and as large mum
Der OF the members of the House win retire with
the session they are expected to Stir men and

Another effort is to be madeito revise the in
ternal revenue system, the banking system and
the coinage laws. There will be work done in
lLS u4IcCbLOu VI d I0NISlOn the mormon laws
and for a better navy, coast defenses, etc. 1t
is in the minds of the energetic mem
bers to attempt great deal of work,
and as there are few private bills to occupy time
the country may find some relief in the work
accomplished.
Deficiencies are reported in about all branches
OF the government, growing out of the failure to
appropriate sufficient amount of money last
winter, and it is expected that there will be not
little work in the research the labor will ne
eessitate.
Presidential campaigns are always fellowedby
a food of bills in both branches of Congress,
growing out of political promises and many new
subjects will doubtless be presented. 1t is
hardly probable, however that 10 per cent of
the subjects already presented will ever be con
sidered.

otherwise be.
