Adjournment of the Senate.
NO MORE NOMINATIONS AT PREsENT-eEN.
LAwToN's NAME WITHDRAWN.

On last Thursday, the President notified
the Senate that he was not prepared at
present to send in any further nominations
and it might adjourn at its pleasure. The
Senate accordingly adjourned sine die with
out electing President pro tenn. A num-
Der Of appointments were not acted on.
and the appointees will hold their Offices
only until the next session of the Senate,
when their names will again come up for
consideration. Postmaster Pearson, of
New York, was confirmed without opposi-
ton. Mr.. A. Leo Knott was also promptly
confirmed as Second Assistant Postmaster
General. The withdrawal by the President
of the name of Alex. R. Lawton as minis
ter to Russia was due to the fact that the
committee on foreign relations had reported
the nomination adversely, majority being
Of opinion that, although Mr.. Lawton had
been pardoned by President johnson for
his participation on the Confederate side in
the civil war, he was still ineligible for the
POSITION because his political disabilities
had not been removed by Congress. Mr.
Lawton's friends claimed that he had done
nothing to incur political disabil ties, and
did not require any act of Congress to quail
ify him for the position of minister to Rus
STA. Pending discussion of the matter the
Presidents message withdrawing Mr.. Law
TONS name was received, and the subject
was dropped.

was not Mormon in that county.

mills, SASH and door-factories, &C., are

Southern State. A large number of flour
mills are also under construction and many
others contracted for, very good proper
ton of these mills being built with the
latest roller process machinery and of 80
to 100 barrels capacity day The South
is yearly becoming more self.supporting in
the way of foodstuffs, and it is gratifying
to see this so strongly shown by the in
crease in her milling interests.

ulate all our farmers TO make the approach

the 10Th of April, in Richmond, a complete
success. Our farmers are the real bone and
sinew of the Commonwealth, and if they
once fairly organize to protect their owl
interests they will be able to do much to
better the condition of their class. Hold
ing this opinion, we trust that our country
friends in tidewater will take steps to send
good representatives to the Convention,
and that they will move in this matter at
an early day."
We hope that every county in the Valley
will be well represented in that Conven-
ton.

of An April fool that was not premeditated.
All arrangements for the marriage of Mr..
BibD and Miss Shannon had been made,
and their friends gathered at the chur b,
there to witness the puptials, but no bridal
party appeared. The explanation was
that when the groom went to get a license
it was found that both parents of the young
lady were dead, and in the absence of a
guardian, no license could be granted, the
bride being under age. The couple imme-
diately made arrangements to go to Wash
ington, and, as it was April, they kept the
fact of their change of programme secret.
The ceremony took place in Washington,

he had while under the influence of the

satchel lie thought he was very poor,
only half dressed, and without money.
This worried him a good deal, although, as
he said, 81 thought to myself that ought
to be used to it by this time" He felt
himself altogether in bad predicament,
without morey and without friends. He
came to a fence and got over it very awk-
wardly, there being stile on one side only.
When he got over he found that he had
left the satchel on the other side, and that
he could not get it unless he paid duty on
every step of the stile as be went back.
Then he thought he would go back home
and borrow the money Of Mrs. Grant.
He found she had only $17. and that was
not enough, ,and then be was very glad to
wake up.

RUSSIA ACCEPTS ENGLAND's PRoPosAs.
The Pau-NoH Gazette of Wednesday of last
week states that Russa's answer TO Eng
lands pro: osals on the Afghan question
amounts to cordial acceptance of the pro-
posals as made by Earl Granville, British
foreign minister. TIE Gazette says that
Russia consents to accept as debatable
territory the zone laid out as such by Eng
land, and accepts the principle that the
frontier line shall not be drawn further
south than Karezelias and Chamenideid, or
further north than Shirtepe and Sariyanzi.
This leaves as the only point still to be
discussed the Russian suggestion that it
would be more pract cal if the zone of sur
vey overlapped the roughly defined zone
of de batabie land, in order to allow for to-
biographical and ethnographical conditions.
1t is not expected that this suggested ex-
tension OF The zone of survey to the south
of the boundary line run by NJ. Lessar,
the Russian commissioner, appointed to
meet Sir Peter Lumsden, the British COM
missioner, ! } arrange the Afghan boundary
dispute, will be serious enough to cause
further difficulty.
