mchoeis n"u uopeu tnat this being the
third Monday, when motions TO suspend
the rules are in order, that a number of
bills Of great importance TO the country
could either be disposed Of or have DAYS
set apart for their consideration. Mr.. Ran.
dali. before IL O'Clock, however. moved 70
go into Committee OF the Whole on the
defciency-appropriation bill. Mr.. Aiken.
OF South Carolina, promptly antagonized
IL with the Senate education bill, which
gives the States eighty-odd millions In aid
OF public schools. Mr.. Randalps motion
was carried-ayes. log; noes, 80. The Deu-
ocrats generally voted in the affirmative.
Now, this deficiency bill. aggregating o
little over SIX millions, is made up OF I'M
important items OF no special interest TO
the South. Ii would have gotten through
any how, hut the education bill, which is OF
more importance 10 the southern people
than any before the House, has now but
little show Of being considered. Mr.. RAN
dali IN the course OF his remarks said that
he was informed that the Senate will prob
ably agreed 20 a final adjournment OF Con-
greSS on the Sd OF July. Mr.. Aiken,
though out Of order, appealed earnestly
but in vain 10 the House 10 vote down the
motion Of Mr.. Randall. The only Virginia
item in the deficiency bill is $1,000 for the
Baker Salvage Company, Norfolk, for float
ing the Government steamer Fishhawk.

have, il is said, been greatly I'M ured by the
publication OF the Dover speech and by his
speech during the second session OF the
Forty-firSt Congress in regard 10 the pay
ment for slaves. He has more personal
admirers than any one named. but these feel
that With all Of his splendid craftsmanship
and lofty character he would be placed
on the defensive from the very start.
II Mr.. Bayard's war record was like
the records Of Morrison and Ran.
dali he would be easily nominated.
Democrats a, Washington. in and ont OF
Congress, are Of course anXiOusly awaiting
the action Of the New York State Demo-
cratic Convention. The opponents Of Mr..
Flower here. who describe him only as 2

liberal with his money, greatly underrate

Judge Field seem tonight much encour-
aged a. the situation, and declare that in
spite OF the action Of the California Con-
yentiOn he. their fayorite. has a good
chance Of being nominated. One OF them
