During the recent cold weather the waste
Of water all over the State was something
enormous and the pumping stations were
heavily taxed aud some badly strained.
The Augusta Water Co. was no exception
for while usually an average Of
600 900 gallons of water day
IN winter is pumped, during
that time over $50, 900 gallons were
pumped and on many of the colder days
| the mark of | $50, 000 gallons was passed
On one or more of the days more water
was drawn from the reservoir than was
pumped in during the same time.

pleted the Speaker announced that the yeas
were l57 anu tne nays l.; that 10 quorum had
voted
Nearly two hours were then taken up in
flibusteriug aud fruitless attempts TO get a
quorum. Finally Mr.. Reed offered an amend
ment to Mr. Wilson's resolution, which de-
clared that the Chairman of the Committee
on Ways and Means shall have the right to
call together the committee and to file with
the Clerk of the House any revenue bill which
shall be ordered by the committee for publica-
tion, and the report of the committee together
with the views of the minority shall be filed
for publication not less than 10 days after
the filing and publication of the bill, unless
an earlier date can be agreed upon. Either
report may be filed after 10 days if the other
is not ready"
This compromise was satisfactory 10 Mr.
Wilson, and he signiGcd his willingness to &C
cept the amendment. The cause of the COR
tention being removed, the Republicans signi-
fed their willingness to vote TO make up
quOrum and, enough having answered to their
names, the motion to dispense with further

FRIDAY, Nov. 3,

In the Senate, the last day of the special
session opened with fair attendance of Sem
ators, but unusually small gathering of
spectators in the galleries The reading of the
journal was dispensed with while Mr. Cockrell
(Mo., d. reported back from the Committee on
Appropriations the House resolution for final
adjournment at 3 p. 10.
Mr.. Coke Tex, D. protested against the
adjournment The poorest way, he said. for
the Democratic party 20 serve the country was
for Congress to adjourn, go home. and leave
the public business. The Democratic party
had everything TO lose and nothing 10 gain by
an Adjournment, aud the Republican party had
every thing to gain aud nothing to lose by il.
Mr.. Dolph (Ore., X. and Mr.. Harris Tenn
D. also opposed adjournment.
Mr.. Cockrel said that be heartily concurred
in what had been said. but il was not worth
while talking about it when they all knew
that quorums could not be kept in either
House.
Extended debate followed
The fual adjournment resolution was then
agreed TO without division.

providing for the retention of clerks and per
diem employees of the House during the inter-
val between the sessions with an amendment
which brought dismay TO the economical
leaders of the majority of the House. IL was
found that the Senate had tackled on the old
bone of contention in the urgent deficiency
bil--the item appropriating S22,08S for back
pay of Senate clerks.
The members of the House were non .plussed
Finally, the Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee (Mr Sayers) moved to concur in
the Senate amendment. He announced that
the Senators were determined to get that item
in; that the Chairman of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee had authorized him to say
to the House that the Senate would never
agree 10 another urgent deficiency bill unless
that item was passed. and he thought the
House had better recede from it's position. Mr.
Catchings moved to suspend the rules, and that
the Senate amendment be adopted, but Mr..
Hutchinson was on hand with a request for
telers
The Speaker appointed Messrs Richardson
and Hutchinson as telers and the mem bers
began to crowd between them but before the
vote was announced 3 o'clock arrived, the
Ravel fell. and the Speaker announced that the
House stood adjourned sine die.

Bogus Money in the Midway.

The queer folks of the Midway will carry
home with them, it is estimated something
like 81 ,000.0 900 as the result of their operations
during the Fair. Not all of it is good money,
however. So eager were the Plaisance people
to gather in the shekels of the heather Ameri-
cans that they took means of verifying the
money showed at them, and the consequence
was that they gobbled up thousands of dollars
of Confederate money. Bills of State banks
that went out of existence 80 years ago, leaden
dollars, halves aud quarters were also taken
with ayidty. and SO much of this was in circu-
lation that Capt. Porter, of the Secret Service
has set an investigation on foot in order that
none of it shall get on the market again.
One thrifty Egyptian, who sold small coins
worth four cents in the street of Cairo for So
has nearly 81 900 in Confederate money to show
for his seasons work, while the Algerians, As
syrians, Turks Copts Cingalese, Nubians, Chi
nese, and other artless foreigners who kept
small booths are we'll loaded up with paper
money that represents nothing at all now.

main for the present
The discussion of the naturalization bill was
then resumed Mr.. Campbell. Of IN. Y, d.. }

spoke against it.
After some further discussion the morning

The Senate had struck ont all that part rclat-
ing TO the rebate of duties Oh articles which

was sent to conference, aud the Speaker APP
pointed Messrs. Bynum, McMiilin, and Payne
Us conferrees on the part of the Ilonse.
Mr.. Richardson introduced joint resolution
providing for the payment of Senate and House
clerks and employees during the interval be-
tween the sessions Mr.. Sayres, Chairman of
the Appropriation Committee Mr.. Kigore
TEX, d. and Mr.. Holman Ind. d. objected
to the resolution. which was defended by Mr..
Blair. Prolonged flibustering. led by Mr..
Hutchinson. which WAS absolutely without avail,
the House agreed TO joint resolution. There
was little opposition to the resolution, but the
member from Texas rcsolutely continued to call
for divisions, tellers, etc. Not satisfied with
this, he moved to adjourn, to take recess for
two minutes. TO take recess for an hour, and
to take a recess for other intervals. on nearly
all of which he employed dilatory tactics when
his motions We're voted down
Finally the resolution was agreed to by a
vote of l40 to 81. wherenpOn Mr.. Richardson
moved TO reconsider and lay oil the table

mosphere, but Dir. Hutchinson Immediately
renewed it. and the fog became az dense as be-
fore. he insisted upon his motion for recess
but ii was defeated by vote of III TO 3-the
Speaker voting 10 complete the quorum.
The turmoil in front OF the Speakers desk
was uproarious during this scene Excavations
were hurled at the offending member from
Texas, but the only effect was to make him
more bellicose than ever. He continued to
ilibuster for some time against Mr.. Richard
sons motion TO reconsider, but during a breath
ing spell Mr.. Catchings Miss. d. caught the
Texan mapping, and moved a suspension OF the
rules.
This was ordered, when Mr. Richardson
moved 10 reconsider the vote by which the
House agreed to retain the EN- pOyes during the
vacation. and moved to lay that motion OIL the
table, which the House promptly agreed to-
The regular order was then demanded, and the
committees were called for reports.
