They say that Der boats were picked up
by the Creole about 600 miles northwest
of the Azores, end at point several hun.

which the National Line steamers usually
take. This, they say, would indicate that

there is slight chance tha, the theory OF

v5Iy largely to put quietus on two meas
utes that bade fair to be sources of conten-
ton in the Legislature. The fret was Mr
Flournoy's bill, which in eject prohibited
local railroad aad steamboat traffic on san
dly. The bill was on its third resdirg ard
passage when a runniug FIRE was opened on
it. Scott ard Campbell spoke against II,
but Van Pelt made the most forcible and
convincing argument. He showed how the
coke Industry in Fayetle county would be
injured, if not entirely ruined, by II, anu
he pre,entsd his facts so pointeily ths'
