LIVE WASHINGTON TOPICS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-In the
Senate to day, Mr.. Quay introduced
the following resolutions:
Resolved, that during the present
session of Congress, the Senate will
not take up for consideration any leg
islative business other than the pen
ding bill (the tariff bilD and general
appropriation bills; bills relating to
public buildings and public lands, and
Senate or concurrent resolutions"
This is the first open action from the
Republican side of the Senate Cham
Der against the consideration of the
federal election bill at this session of
Congress. The adoption of the resolu-
ton would be specific agreement to
shelve the election bill.
The Senate Committee on Woman's
Suffra re reported to the Senate res
olution for a Constitutional amends
ment to extend the right of suffrage
to women.
The Honse passed the General De-
ficiency bill Friday.
The House having approved the
Senate's Original Package bill, the
measure will become law with the
Presidents signature.
The President has appointed Alex
ander Clark, of Iowa, to be Minister
Reaident and Consul General of the
United States at Liberia.
Congressman, whose leaves of ah-
sence have been revoked by the House,
are hurrying back to Washington to
help make quorum.
The Senate Friday passed Mr..
Plumb's concurrent resolution provi-
ding for the removal of Gen. Grants
remains from New York TO the Ma
tional Cemetery at Arlington.
While the Democrats were trying
to get the House to give some atten
ton to agricultural, labor and private
bills Friday Speaker Reed made use
Of his gag rules most effectively. The
Republicans refused to name day for
such measures.
The official count of the Census Bu-
reau shows that Chicago's population
is ,O9S, 576, an increase Of $685. in
ten years. Chicago is now the second
city in population in the United
States, having an excess of 53,6S2
over Philadelphia.
The Senate Friday agreed to the
conference report on the Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill, with the exception
of the item relating to the irrigation
survey. 1t is predicted that Congress,
at its next session after the election,
will be enforced to pass the largest
Deficiency bill ever before known
Debate in the House Monday took
a wide range. The tariff, the Def
cheney and the Force bills were all
but the most striking fea-
ture of the day was Col. Breckinridge's
eloquent protest against the Force bill,
and his appeal to the better element
of the North, in behalf Of the South.
1t is said the incomplete census re-
turns indicate that the Southern States
are proving a sore Disappointment to
the Republicans. The data received
show growth of the South in popu-
lation which satisfied the most SAN
guine expectations. On an honest
count there will be a considerable gain
of Congressman in the South.

er. the shooting was accidental or in

The details of the killing Of kemm
Ter at Auburn, N Y, with electricity,
as furnished by the dailies of last
Thursday morning, are sickening to
read. He was killed on the third

the contrary, the result of it will be,
as many believe, the total abolition of
capital punishment in the State of

candidate for the Office of County Treasurer,
subject to the action of the approaching Demo-
cratic convention. which meets in Winston on
the 18th of September.
No man in the county has ever worked hard
er in an humble way than l have for the pro-
motion of Forsyth best interests. l have as
sisted in building up good nome market for
her various products, and giving to her the
finest leaf market that stands upon this
continent.
Nine of the best years of my life were spent
in the furtherance Of this end, and I am now
quite sure that the good citizens Of this grand
old county, approaching this fact, will be on
hand at the convention, ready and willing to
help one then whose pleasure it has been to
help them in the past
This is an instance where the man is seeking
the office, and not the Office the man, and
want it distinctly understood that no one has
asked me, or pulled my coat off to get me to
run. It is entirely a voluntary act ON my part,
and l shall therefore hold no one responsible
for the result. Respectfully,
R. D. MOSELY.
P. S. If defeated, shall still remain in the
county, as like tie people, climate and seen
cry.
