RELIEF FOR NATIONAL BANKS.
The Bin Comes Up at the Opening oi
the Senate's Session.

0OCoAOAs
WASHINGTON, Sept 2O.-The Senate TO-
day resumed consideration of the bill to
relieve national banks. Mr.. Sherman ex-
pressed q willingness that the only provision
of the bill should be one to allow national
banks to issue notes TO the full face value of
the bonds deposited to secure circulation
On Mr.. Cockrell's objection, the bill was
laid aside without action.
Mr.. Cockrell favored withdrawal of
national bank notes and the substitution of
greenbacks. In the course Of his speech he
said: "Whst had been seen IN the last few
weeks had not been creditable to the
country. The Secretary of the Treasury had
been drawn on by spectators in stocks and
grain in New Yord to pay out every dollar
OF the surplus in the treasury in order to
save them and to save their imaginary
profits in speculation and gambling"
The following bill, unobjected to on the
calendar, was, among others, passed:
The Senate bill extending the privileges
OF free delivery of mails to towns having a
population OF 5000, or gross postal reve-
nue. of $1,000.
JURISDICTION OF COURTS.
The hour assigned to the calendar having
expired. the Senate resumed consideration
of the House bill to define and regulate the
Jurisdiction of courts of the United S tates,
and of the substitute therefore reported by
Mr.. Evarts from the judiciary committee
An amendment offered by MIR. ingalls,
was adopted. 1t provides that appeals and
writs OF error may be taken aud prosecuted
from decisions of the United States court in
the Indian Territory to the supreme court
of the United States, or to the circuit court
OF appeals in the Eighth circuit, in the same
manner and under the same regulations as
from circuit or district courts of the United
States.
DoLPH ALSO HAD AN AMENDMENT.
Mr.. Dolph offered an amendment provid-
ing that the circuit court of appeal, in cases
in which Judgment is made final, shall have
the same appeal jurisdiction by writ of
error or appeal to review Judgment order
and DEGREES of the supreme courts of the
several territories, as by this act they may
have 20 review judgments, orders aud de.
crees Of district and circuit courts aud for
that purpose,the several territories shall, by
orders from the supreme court, TO be made
from time TO time, be assigned to particular
circuits.
After much discussion the amendment
was agreed to.
DANIELS SUGGESTION.
Mr.. Daniel offered an amendment extend
ing right Of appeal to the supreme court &c
all cases Of conviction of felony and to all
costs where the matter in dispute is re-
lated to personal liberty, or right to the
custody Of a child.
Without action on Mr.. Daniels amend
ment the bill was laid aside informally and

laborers to work in cut formerly worked
by the Italians.
IrALY's SONS RIoToUs.
The Italians refused TO allow any one to
work until they had received their pay for
work done under Keogh, and proceeded to
oust the new iaborers. Three times the new
lahorers were run out of the cut by the
Italians, who used stones, clubs knives and
pistols. The contractor then applied to the
court for protection. and was furnished
posse of about q dozen men headed by the
sheriff OF Wayne court house. Yesterday
the sheriff made an attempt to arrest the
Italians, who flercely resisted.

Italians on one side, armed with stones,
knives and revolvers, and the sherIff's men
on the other. The Italians fought from be-
hind trees, stones and whateyer would
shield mans body. The firing
BECAME general. and lasted some
minutes. When the smoke OF the
battle cleared away, several Italians
were found in the last throes of death and
several more wounded The sherifPs men
escaped with few severe bruises. About
twenty Italians were arrested and taken
to jail at Wayne Court House. The re-
mainder escaped in the woods.

Neither Gordon Nor Norwood Has
Been Indorsed.
SYLvANrA, GA. Sept. 2O.-rhe impress
sion has gone out from here that Scriven
county has indorsed Hon. T. NJ. Norwood
for United States Senator. This is a mis-.
take.
The Augusta Chroaicle speaks Of it as an
assured fact that Mr. Norwood has been
indorsed, and our representative instructed
to vote for him.
Scriven county has taken no action in the
matter. nor has the county alliance put
itself on record against Gov. Gordon. A
small sub-alliance near Scarboro passed
some resolutions indorsing Mr.. Norwood,
and thus far that is all the alliance has
done. There was also mass meeting. so
called. at Olive, near the conflnes of EfIing-
ham county, at which lengthy resolutions
were prepared highly eulogistic of Mr.. Nor
wood. These resolutions were published in
the papers and probably caused the errone-
Gus impressions above stated. This is all
that has been done, or at least done publicly.
There is strong Norwood element in the
county, but 1t is also true that there are
many Of our citizens who are strongly in
favor of Gov. Gordon
