 marks and the subject matter of the bill, the question of the public lands for soldiers and pensioners going hand in hand. As to the intimation that he had acted with diseourtesy and a want of courage the blackest enemy he had in his district would not say he was lacking in courage. The tumuIt raised was not because the Rec- ord had been violated, but because the name of John A. Logan was mentioned. If the Senator got his land honestly he had noth- ing to say against his character in acquiring it. What he had to say was against the prin- ciple which permitted any man to acquire so many acres.
 The discussion continued in the same strain until o'clock, when the Speaker interrupted 1t by ordering, in accordance with previous order, recess until 8 o'clock.
 The House reassembled at 8 p. n. and sev- sral private pension cases were discussed, one was passed and at 1O:4O p. m. the House adjourned

The National Democratic Conventional
 Long Session In PrOspect-The Commit-
 tee Getting Ready for all Elm mergencies.
 CHICAGO, June 27.-The possibility of a longer session of the national Democratic convention than had been expected caused the sub committee of the National committee to take steps to-day for emergencies. The committee met at the Palmer House this morning, there being present Committeeman Goudy, Kelly, Villas. Brown and Flaw, the only one absent being W. L. Scott of Penn sylvania. The emergencies which the con- mittee seeks to prepare for are that the con- vention may be prolonged by failure to agree on a. candidate. If New York does not decide on man one of the committee said it was probable the West would endeavor to name him. A long battle would in his judgment be provoked and Tilden would very likely be nominated. In making the plans for seating the delegates calculation had been made on the basis of SOP, thus counting the eighteen delegates from the territories out of seats. It had been thought the terri torial delegates could be seated among the alternates, but Mir. Brown revived 8 rssoIu- tion passed by the National committee in Washington giving them seats on the floor of the convention and it was decided that the delegates seats should be increased from SOP to 82O.
 The subcommittee on press of the Demo cratic National committee was in session to- day at the Palmer House, tabulating applica- tions for seats. Nearly six thousand have already been received and only small pro- portion of them can be accommodated with desk privileges. Full and complete accom- modations for reporting the proceedings will be given the press associations.

 Arguing For His ExtradttiOn-The F1ro- ceedtn gs tn the Case of Ex-Bank Presi- dent Emo.
 QUEBEC, June 27.-In the Enc case the whole day was consumed by the argument of MT. Davidson on behalf of the prosecu- tion. The most of the morning was occu- pied with proving by previous decisions that indictments found by the grand juries under oath in foreign countries must be accepted as uncontroverted evidence of presumptive guilt. Counsel argued that the executive of any State or country may extradite any of fender by exercising it's proper prerogative without reference to judicial proceedings
 He could not see why the accused if innocent of the charges for which it was sought to ex- tradits him should object to go back to New
 York and be tried by jury of his country men. He mentioned number of cases in which the executive, of it's own accord, had extradited offenders. Secretary Seward had handed over criminal who did not come within the treaty to the captain general of Cuba and Spain had delivered up Boss Tweed He went fully into what constituted forgery, contending that the Pulley case and others relied on as precedents by the defense were not applica- bls to the present proceedings He also laid stress upon the fact that Judge Brown, in the Pulley case had not altogether accepted the definition of forgery in the Windsor case on which the defense seemed so largely to rest their case. In the morning Davidson went into the evidence adduced in the case He contended that the checks made out and signed by the prisoner were forgeries &C., eording to the law both of England and Canada, and quoted the act concerning forgery in support of his pretension. The $95. 900 check of May 13 was clearly, he claimed, a case of forgery. Not only was it check intended to convert the funds of the bank under misrepresentation to his own use, but it was also signed by him as presi- dent after he had ceased to be de jure the virtual president of the bank. Counsel for the defense will address the court to morrow,
