WASHINGTON, Aug. @9.-In the senate
Stewart offered a resolution asking the
treasury whether there will be deficiency
for the year aud its probable amount. The
amendment TO the VOORHEES, bank bill for
the redemption of per cent bonds was
defeated-29 to 23 The motion to recon
slider the vote refusing Lee Mantle a seat
was laid on the table-S1 to $50 Mantle
cannot get into the senate. The Voorhees,
bank bill was again taken up on an amend.
ment by Cockrell allowing citizens to de-
posit bonds with the treasury and obtain
greenbacks for them, with the privilege of
regaining the bonds by paying back the
greenbacks, interest on the bonds to cease
meanwhile. No action, and the senate ad-
journed.
In the house the votes on the Wilson bill
took all day. Every proposition of silver
men was defeated by majorities averaging
over 100 and the Wilson bill passed-240 to
10.

FREE SILVER MEN FEEL BLUE.
The Result of the First Vote a Complete
Knockout.

Knockout.
Shell of South Carolina, in favor of free
Silver, was paired with Graham of New
York opposed to it-both Democrats. Not
nearly as much interest was taken in the
second vote which was on the ratio of II
to l. The decisive vote on the 16 to
ratio seemed to dishearten the silver men
and in place of the attention which was
paid to the first was substituted a listless-
ness which spread throughout the hall.
Such majority against the essence of the
free silver idea was but foreshadowing
of all the other votes which are given as to
totals in the foregoing.
The vote on the Bland-Allison act
amendment was another crucial test, but
it went against the silver men very en-
phatically, although that amendment re-
ceived the strongest support.
Then came the final vote, which Bal
ley OF Texas tried to stave off for a short
time by offering an amendment to repeal
the parity clause of the Sherman act, in
the hope that by so doing he could rally
some Of the gold men to his support and
thus weaken the friends of unconditional
repeal OF the purchasing clause, but the
speaker ruled that this was not in order
and third reading of the bill, and the bill
was accordingly ordered to a third read
ing.
Then Mr.. Bailey raised the point that
there should he division of the question.
One part of it repealed the purchasing
clause and the other retained the parity
clause. There should be a separate vote
on each. But again the speaker pointed to
tie decisive order of the resolution under
which the house was acting and held that
such separation could not be had. The
vote was then taken upon the final pass
age of the Wilson bill, and it was passed,
yeas pa, nays 1l0.
The men who stood by silver under the
Bland-Allison act, but who fin,.lly voted
for unconditional repeal, were: Anderson,
Black of Georgia, Bretz, Brookshire
Bum, Conn, Donovan, Doolittle, Ed
munds, Hare, Holman, Hunter, Lawson
Lester, Linton, Marshall, McCreary, Nc
Millin, Meredith, Montgomery, Oates
O'Ferrall, Paschal Painter, Pendle;on
Post, Price, Richardson of Michigan
Ritchie, Russell, Stone, Swanson, Taylor
Tucker, Turpin, Tyler, Weadock, Whit

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 29.-Thirty horsemen
rode into New Castle, KY, ard waking up
Jailer Head told him they had prisoner
When Head made his appearance with the
keys the visitors, most of whom were
masked, overpowered him and let them
selves into the Jail. They were after a
negro named Leonard Taylor Securing
their man they took him about a quarter
of mile out on the road to Franklinton
and strung him up to tree.
The crime which aroused the members
into action was brutal assault upon an
Italian boy peddler. 1t occurred a week
ago. The negro struck the boy over the
head, fracturing his skull. He was brought
to this city, which was his home, and the
people at Franklinton, learning that he
had died-at any rate the crime was
such dastardly one and the negro so
vicious that the people concluded that pub
lie safety demanded that he DE put out of
the way of doing harm.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

When we purchased the HERALD
we bought all accounts-advertising
job work, and subscriptions. We had
hoped to have had these settled some
time since, and have urged all inter
ested to settle, if for no other reason
than to avoid future trouble, through
any error that may have arisen by
reason of the transfer of the accounts
from Mr. Reilly to us.
Back subscriptions were bought at
the rate of s. 90 per year. We have
been settling these accounts with all
who continue, at the rate of 81. so, the
regular cash-in-advance rate. If they
are not settled soon, we shall be obliged
to employ a collector, when ST. a
year will be charged. This can be
avoided by prompt settlements.
