L. W. HURST.

Mr. Hurst spoke in favor of the resolu
tions. He said that in their discussion he
should confine himself to that portion of
the resolutions which declared against the
suspension of coinage of silver and de,
manded the immediate payment of the
bonds now due with the surplus in the
vaults of the treasury. The government
has the right to pay the bonds in silver,
and the bondholders can not produce any
tenable argument against it. AL of the
bonds now due we're issued after the &C t
of congress expressly declaring that the
obligations of the government should be
paid in gold or silver, had become n law
At the time of the issue of the bonds
which are now payable at the option Of
the government, the bondholders naturally
made no objection to the provisions of the
action that they might be paid in silver.
because silver at that time, as was shown
by Mr.. Hooper, OF Massachusetts, in a
speech in congress when the silver eues-
ton was under discussion, was at pre-
mium-the silver in silver dollar being
then of more intrinsic value than nominal
value, the result Of which was that silver
was being rapidly withdrawn from circu-
llation and used in the manufacture of

that he was lying on lounge In the sitting

pistol. He rushed to the parlor and there
found his daughter lying on the floor, appar.
emily dying from terrible wound in her left
breast. She was strong enough to say that
John had shot her. The accused was walking
off apparently not intending to make any ex-

was loaded. Miss Whitman is not expected

A Horrible Crime.

CLARKsvILLE, Tenn, July 7.-George ALI
Proctor colored entered the house of Sue
Hayes with an ak in his hand and pistol in
his pocket Finding Sue on the back porch,
he stepped up behind her and drove the ak
into the back part of her head AS she fell
he struck her another blow, sending the blade
of the ak in up to the handle, and splitting
her head open from the left eye across the
nose to the right corner of the mouth. Then
he put the pistol to his forehead and fired two
shots, the bullets taking effect on the left eye
and ranging upward and glancing on the
skull. He then fired two shots in his mouth
and fell, lying insensible for some time. The
woman died instantly, but Proctor is still
alive, having recovered consciousness, and
will likely recover. Jealousy caused the
crime

at least the railroad officials know Of none.
No overtures have been made by the switch
men. Two days of inaction. so far as the

under the conditions that have prevailed
ever since the strike became a settled fact.
Pinkerton's riPemen were early in the feld,
and so were the town of Lake police and /,

by Messrs. Harmer and O'Neill, of Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Saulbee, of Kentucky, called up

sion. Discussion ensued, which became quite

Grafton of the matter until Friday next, the

MONTREAL July 7-Senator Harrison has
introduced into the United States senate a
memorial from the National Cristian Temper
ance Union of Indiana, asking an investiga-
tion into the importation of young Canadian
girls into Chicago for immoral purposes,
Chief of Police Parady says that six years
ago the importation CT Canadian girls was
attempted, but that the police stopped it.
City detectives say that Montreal is not used
as base of supply. If the police do not
know, everybody connected with the Grand
Trunk depot, where the girls are sent off, is
aware of it. Last week two gangs, one Of
eleven and one Of twenty-five, were des-
patched to Chicago. The victims were prin-
cipally from the country, who had hired as
domestics. This infamous trade is carried

WASHINGTON, July 7. "A large number OF

presented and appropriately referred
Mr.. Cockrell reported from the committee
on military affairs, the bill to regulate the
pay of army and navy officers who neglect to
provide for their families.
The senate took up the bill to ss,ure the
Cherokee freedmen and others, their share Of
certain proceeds OF land.
Mr.. ingalls,, from committee on Indian af-
fairs, reported and the senate passed sub
stitute for this bill 1T appropriates S25, 900
for the purpose and directs how it shall be
distributed)
Consideration of the amendments 20 the
river and harbor bill was then resumed.
Mr. Ingalls, made the point of order against
the appropriation of $3.50, 900 for the purchase
of the sturgeon bay and Lake Michigan ship
canal and harbor of refuge, claiming that
this was not bill to buy canals, and that the
item referred to was general legislation.
The chair overruled the point of order,
holding that as the amendment was reported
by standing committee, and in persuance OF
Of an estimate by the secretary Of w,r, It was
in order.
Mr.. Edmunds made new point of order
that this commercial transaction (the pur-
chase of lot of property had nothing to do
with the general scope of the bill, and was
therefore irrevalent
The chair submitted the question of :evel-
ancy to the senate, and it was decided to be
relevant and in order. Mr. Edmunds op-
posed the amendment and said that at least
200, 600 acres of land in that rich region, and
he did not know how much more, had been
granted to the state of Wisconsin to build
this canal. And now the government was
asked to 10y the property it had already paid
for, for the reason, .as he supposed first:
That it would be refuge to mariners, and
second, refuge to the stockholders. He put
it in that way so as to be polite. Mr. ingalls,
characterized the amendment as an "impu-
dent and shameless speculation" He had no
doubt that, by means of combinations that
had been formed, this gratuity and donation
of $780, 900 would be given to this company
for a work in which the company had nc
further pecuniary interest.

A POET DYING.
Paul II. Hayne, the Poet of the South,
Lying at Deaths Door.


MACON, Ga, July THE news reached
this city yesterday evening from Copsehill,
Columbia county, that Paul H. Hayne, the
south's poet, lies mt deaths door with little or
no change OF recovery. A few weeks ago
while engaged upon his labors with his char
acteristic energy and enthusiasm he was sad
denly prostrated by failting spell, rally
ing somewhat, he, to quiet the apprehen-
sions of his family, made light of his Illness
but it soon developed that he was partially
paralyzed and physicians were summoned.
They decided that his troubles arose from a
olot of blood upon the brain, and that no
hopes Of his recovery existed. He has yet
moments of consciousness though, which the
grand faith and soul of the man still shine
brightly.
1t will be hard for the people of the south
10 realize how close they are to an irrepara-
BILE loss, and hopes will rise in every heart
and prayers that the shadow of death
through a dispensation superior to mans
Judgment may be lifted from Copeshill.
The sympathy of loving people go out to
him and his, in this hour of their great sor-
row.
