q question he explained that the Senate
would vote on the tariff conference re-
port at 8 O'Clock and it was exceeding
~ important that the House should be
in session when the engrossed bill came
back from that body.
Mr.. McRae attempted to draw out
OF Mr.. Dingley statement as to wheth-
er currency commission bill was to
be passed this afternoon but the latter
evasively replied that there was as yet
no such proposition before the House.
Mr.. McRae said if the passage of such
bill was not contemplated many DEM
ocrats would like to go home.
The Speaker then stated in view OF
the approach of the end of the session
that in his opinion it was the duty OF
every member to remain. "Other-
wise, ;" said he, "we may find ourselves
without quorum and to that extent
every absent member will be respon-
sible."

The readers OF this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being q con-
stitutional disease, requires constitutional
treatment Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
formally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de-

giving the patient atreng,h by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing its
work The proprissors have 30 much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer One Hun

degeneration

The FACT that American mauufac-
tuers can compete successfully with
those of England. even in the latter
country, has long been known, but it
was never made more glaringly appar
emit than by the July number OF the con-
sular reports, in which the statement
appears that iron and steel made II
Birmingham, Alabama, are sold SC
much cheaper in England than like
articles made there, that the English
manufacturers OF such products are
alarmed at the prospect of the loss O.
their home trade. But, notwithstaud
ing all this, the new tariff bill imposes
a high duty on the articles referred
to, which can only increase the profits
of the manufacturers, at the expense o.
the home consumers.

WHILE there IS no doubt of the fact

WHILE there is no doubt OF the TACT
that congressional Investigations, as
rule. amount to little or nothing, still,
the honest people of the country did
not expect that the Q. S. Senate would
adopt the report of one OF its commit
tees. to the effect that its members
could be bribed with impunity; in 9TH
er words, could accept brides from, and
make the country pay their debts TO,
trusts and monopolies, without being
subject to investigation therefor. But
that is Just what the Senate has done;
and vet the sanciimonious Senator from
Massachusetts, Mr.. Hoar, says the
character of the Senate has not dete-
riorated. But as every thing elss about
the entire country has deteriorated,
there is no reason why the probity and
self.respect of the members OF its Sem
ate should be exempt from the general
degeneration.

POLITICAL.

A letter from Richmond says: The
geographical location OF the men noml.
mated for Governor and Lieutenant.
Governor will naturally have material
bearing upon the selection of the nomi-
nee for Attorney General. AS there are
four candidates for Attorney General
residing in southside Virginia they will
naturally want man from some
other section, preferably the northern
part of Tidewater, put in second place.
There will probably be movement on
their part to get Cation nominated. Or
it may be that Montsgue's friends will
endeavor to secure the selection of MIR.
Ellyson for Lieutenant Governor. This
would practically kill off Lassiter,
Mann and Hundley, of the southside,
and Pollard, of this city, leaving the
field to Montague, Scott, Alexander
and Lloyd T. Smith. Of the eight new
men aspiring to this honor Montague is
undoubtedly ahead. though Alexander
is gaining ground steadily.
A letter from Richmond Gays: The
Lieutenant Governorsbip is attracting
a good deal of attention now. 1t is
thought that Major Scott, who seems
to be in the lead for Attorney General,
will be able to prevent the nomination
OF Cation, of Alexandria, in which event
the chances of Hon. Merritt T. Cooke,
of Norfolk, will be quito good. 1t is
known that Mr.. Ellyson does not
care for the second place, and it will
hardly be rendered him.

ANOTHER ASSAULT Casa report
was received at Henrico Court House
in Richmond yesterday ofan attempted
criminal assault by a negro upon q
white girl of that county. The assail.
ant is half-witted negro employed on
the land of we'll known farmer few
miles below Seven Pines. An investi-
CATION of the story shows that the ne
gro is mentally irresponsible chsrac.
ter, and it is doubtful if his assault up ID
the young lady, who is the sixteen
year-old daughter of his employer, was
as serious as the latter considered it,.
The farmer, upon learning of the Negroes
conduct from his daughter, locked the
man up in an clubhouse and gave him a
severe beating. Fearing that if his
neighbors learned of the demented ne
gro's offense they would lynch him,
the young lady's father kept the secret
several days. The story finally leaked
out and has caused quite sensation in
the neighborhood. The father of the
deranged negro has taken him in
charge and will keep the dangerous
lunatic in close confinement hereafter,
according to promise given by him to
the farmers living in the vicinity.
