THE HOUSE.
The Day Devoted to Consideration of Bills
on the Private Calendar.


WASHINGTON, May 9.-AIr. Willis presented re-
monstrance of the Louisville Board of Trade against
the enactment of a bankrupt law. Referred
The bill granting additional pension the widow of
Gen. Francis P Blair was passed. 1t grants her
$4,000 for her husbands services in organizing
troops, and increases her pension to $50 per month
The House then went into committee of the whole,
Mr.. Cox in the chair, on the private calendar.
The first two bills the calendar considered
and dscussedtogether The first appropriatng Sc 600
for the relief of Willis n. Arnold, of Henderson
Tenn, was reported favorably by the committee
claims; the second for relief of Hiram johnson
and tortys other persons, of the place. was
ported adversely. Both these claims have been pend
ing in Congress for many years, and grew out of a
rebel raid on Henderson in November 1862, when
property to the value of S2675I was DESTROYED of
which 1S III belonged to loyal citizens, SO, 800 to
the Mobile & Ohio Railway and So ,0SO to the United
States On account of these depredations assess
ment made the disloyal citizens of the place
and the money was turned over to the provost mar
shall So 606 of the amount assessed paid over
to Adridge and Patterson, two of the sufferers from
the raid, and the remainder was carried
into the . treasury Willis n. Arnold claims
to have suffered loss of Sc 900. while Hiram John
ct al. disloyal citizens, whom the assessment
made, and who claim that the remain
ing in the treasury should be divided between them
pro rata. The debate consumed nearly the whole
day the supporters of the Johnson bill asserting that
Arnold did not suffer the loss which he complains of
that the dlSoyal cltlzenS OF Henderson were IN no
way responsible for the raid, and that the govern
ment had not the right to take money from the peck
cts of one man to reimburse another.
The committee finally substituted the johnson bill
for the Arnold bill and reported its recommendation
to the House, but no further action was taken.
Mr.. Follett from the committed appropriations,
reported back the District of Columbia appropriation
bill, and it referred to the committee of the
whole.
1t was ordered that when the House adjourned to-
day it be to Monday and the Speaker requested the
members to assemble in the House tomorrow in order
to attend in body the unwilling of the statue of Chief
justice Marshall.
The Speaker laid before the House a communication
from the Secretary of War recommending addi-
tional appropriation of 100000 for the relief of suf
ferers by the floods in the Lower Mississippi valley,
Referred.
The House then took a recess until evening, the

Smith, Asburry Hughes and George
Hughes (all white and under % years

to-day. They were convicted of burn
ing the house of Henry Porter, on
Sand mountain. 1t was the first in

been enforced for arson in the first
degree in this state.
They were baptised just before they
left jill. Geo. Hughes tried to inf1ame
the crowd by a speech from the jail
window, and succeeded in creating
considerable feeling. Smith also made
a short address from the jail window,
denying his guilt, but confessing other
crimes. Asburry Hughes also made
an address denying bis guilt. They
mounted the gallows with firm step

Execution in New York.

New YORK, August Alexander
Jefferson, a negro, who, in a jealous
rage, killed Henry Hicks and Emma
Jackson, also colored, and nearly
killed Anna Jackson, and slightly
wounded his brother, at Moses Jack
sons residence, on Buffalo avenue,
Brooklyn, was hung this morning in
| the presence of four hundred specta-
tors. Before his execution, he
handed the sheriff a list of persons to
whom he wished his photograph
given. He ate breakfast with evident
relish, and dressed himself in a new
black suit presented him by the
sheriff. He was kept In conversation
by his spiritual adviser up to the time
he was led to the s,affold between two
clergymen and the moose placed round
his neck.
When Jefferson was placed under
the galloWs, one of the clergyman
said, Jefferson had forgiven all his
enemies. Shortly after the rope was
cut and Jefferson's body shot up into
the air. The knot slipped round I'M
der his chin and his neck was not
broken. For moment he was mo-
tionIess, then. kicked, struggled and
groaneI. AS he slowly strangle1, by a
desperate effort he got his right hand
up to the rope and tore the black cap
from his face, exposing its contor-
lions and his staring eyes. After be
tore the black cap away his hand fell
down by his side. The contortions
and commissions of the body con-
tinued five minutes. Life was pro-
nouuced extinst at eight minutes.
After the rope vas cut the body was
sent to the morgue.

General Swain.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-Majol
Scott, Judge Advocate of the cour'
martial, appointed to try Gen. Swain
has prepared the charges upon which
that officer will be called to account
The charges are. flrst-conduct I'M
becoming an officer md gentleman
second-ueglect of duty.
The specifications under the first
charge, after reviewing the transa
tions between Gen. Swain and banker
Batefnan, allege-
1st. That the former accepted from
Batenan g. Co., the acknowledgment
of the deposit of 5000, which was
simple memorandum, and after
withdrawing but $33 Of that sum, he
assigned and transferred the written
acknowledgment to the firm of
Bright, Humphrey & Co., and did
thereupon, knowingly and fraudulent
ly, seek, through the said named firm,
to compel Bateman & Co., to cash the
5000 acknowledgment, thus attempt
ing to commit fraud upon said Bate
man & Co.
The second specification alleges that
Gen. Swain, Improperly, in "a per-
sonal interview with Bateman, at
tempted to evade and prevent an in
vestigation, and to obtain from him
a letter retracting the charges pre-
ferred.
The third specification alleges that
when the grave and serious charges
were referred to Gen. Swain, and had
been publicly circulated, he failed to
demaud or request an investigation
by a court of inquiry, but addressed a
letter of explanation and denial to the
secretary of war, which was evasive,
uncandid and false. and calculated and
intended to deceive the secretary of
war, intseveral particulars regarding
his transactions with Bateman.
The fourth specification alleges that
Gen. Swain, upon learning certain
bankers had entered into combina-
ton to secure the reimbursement of |
sundry sums of money advanced them |
to Lieut.. Col. A. r. Morrow, sixth |
on fraudulent pay accounts, |
and that the value of said combina-
ton depended upon Col. MorroW's |
immunity from trial for utterances of
fraudulent pay accounts, and threaten
to use his official position and his
knowledge, so as to cause the dismiss
al of Morrow, or to other wise impair
the value of the securities given by
Morrow to the bankers, unless they
provided for the payment of a claim
If $115, held by him against Nor
low.
Fifth-The charge-that of neglect
If duty-is based upon Gen. Swaim's
allure to report facts or procure the
of Morrow on a charge of
pay accounts, when the
evidence of the offense came to his
through information re-
,eived from Bateman.
1t is understood further investiga-
ion is being made, with a view to
bringing additional charges against
SWAIN.
The charges against Col. Morrow,
# duplicating pay accounts, will be
Investigated by tn same court-mar-

AGED DUELISTS.

From the Globe=Demoerat.
NEwBERN, N. c., July 28.-Robert
Floor and Stiles Sanders, two white
haired farmers, aged respectively "a
and n, had harsh words few days
since, it is said, about their crops.
They had been warm friends, and were
members of the same church, The
two together have thirty-nine de-
scendants. They parted bitter enc
mics, but the advanced ages and
recognized pacific natures of the two
men led their friends to believe
that their ill-feeling would end
in words only. This morning
Mr.. Thomas Stanley, young man of
this place, happened to be up at day
break, and was Mortified at seeing the
two old men armed to the teeth and
standing facing each other, ready to
enter into deadly duel. AT the risk
of his life, and as their weapons were
raised, he rushed between them. AT
first one of them warned him off, but
he managed to seize Sanders pistol,
and then tenderly reminded them
that they had but a few more days to

minutes later the combatants would
have commenced firing. They were
but eight PAGES apart. This is the
first instance in the history of the
code where two such old men have re-
sorted to it for the arbitrament of
their disputes. Fears are entertained
that the grandsons of the would-be
duelists will take up the affair and
pursue it to a bloody termination
