A Southern journalist and Mad States
man.-Riyor and Harbor Bill Passed.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2.-Just be-
fore the House was called to order this
morning little scene occurred which
attracted good deal OF attention.
Congressman Logan, OF Louisiana,
feeling angered at an article which ap-
peared lately in the New Orleans Ciy
hem, took advantage OF the presence Of
the correspondent OF that paper, VIM.
B. Lynch, to express his feelings.
Some angry words ensued, and the
Congressman, seizing the correspondent
by the lapel Of the coat, pushed him
out OF the east door. Mr.. Lynch offered
no resistance and walked quietly away,
while Mr.. Logan was much excited,
threatening to follow up the attack.
When the House got down to business
a number OF bills were introduced and
referred, among them being one by Mr..
Anderson, Of Iowa, providing for the
control and regulation Of railroads ac-
quired by the United States under judi
cial foreclosure or forfeiture.
This is the bill introduced by Mr.. An
derson in April last. It is a very long
measure, and Mr.. Anderson demanded
its reading in full, in order to consume
time and prevent as long as possible to
the offering OF motion for the passage
OF the Union Pacific Funding bill under
suspension Of the rules.
For an hour and n half the reading
clerk was uninterrupted in his monoton-
Gus reading OF the bill, but at 1880 the
proceedings were diversified by Mr..
Bland, OF Missouri, with a motion to
adjourn, which was, however, declared
out OF order pending the reading, and
again the weary clerk resumed his task.
Finally motion to adjourn at S:20 was
carried.

COULD NOT CARRY THAT STATE,

COULD NOT CARRY THAT STATE.
From the beginning there had been rec
ignition Of the fact that the four doubt
tul States were, in case of anything like
unanimity, to direct the action of the
convention, and among these four States
the influence Of New York was, OF
course, paramount.
Even admitting that New York was
sincere in its belief that Senator Sher-
man was the weakest vote getter in
that State, yet at one juncture it was the
action OF New York that made the nom
ination Of Sherman seem an immediate
certainty.
Mr. Phelps here remarked that the
New York delegation resolved, in con.
nngency, to support Mr.. Sherman rathel
Eaan to take up some new man.

more heavily on Alger than the ballot

business OF the convention, and would
therefore consume only IA few momcnts
of time, but he would feel that he car

were not grateful for the welcome he re-
ceived. He was happy and proud 10

and was loudly called for. He was pre-
sented amid applause. He said he
hopd the convention would make such
a record in It's proceedings as to put il
entirely out of The power of the leaders
OF the Democratic party to say there was
no difference between the Republican
party and thc Democratic party in respect
to the ola which he represented.
