neoessary to maintain that force.
The House will adjourn to Tuesday.
The bill to repeal the resumption aot

Ewing of Ohio, who haB charge of it with
drew the motion to recommit and acoept

HOUR.
Special to Euqnirer-8ua.]
Washington, November 2.—Banning
introduced a bill for the increased pay of
letter carriers prepared by the convention
now in session here.
The call of committees having been
concluded, the Speaker stated that the
Committee on Banking and Currency had
the floor for the remainder of the morn*
ing honr.
Conger, of Missouri, moved to go into
a Committee of the Whole on the private
calendar.
The Speaker deolined to admit the mo
tion, on the gronnd that there will be no
bills on the private calendar,and he added
that tho Chair ought to exercise a little
common sense in 6Uoh matters.
Conger retorted that if the Chair was
making an effort in that direction, he
(Conger) was unwilling to interfere with
him. [Laughter.]
Ewing, of Ohio: I am instrnoted by the
oommitlee for the purpose of giving that
opportunity for debate and amendment
about whioh gentlemen on both sides of
the House seems to b» solicitous, to ask
unanimous consent to substitute for the
uommitteo’s bill that presented by the
gentleman from IllinioR, (Fort), and that
the substitute be made the speciol order
for Tuesday, the 13th inst., aud from day
to day until disposed of, with the under
standing that two amendments may be
offered before the previous qoestion is de
manded. The committee oonceives that
its bill is of precisely the sam9 effect as
that proposed by the gentleman from Illi
nois. The committee’s bill proposes to
repeal the whole 3d seotion of the re
sumption act. That 3d seotion repealed
all the restrictions on banking as to the
amount of bank currency and its
distribution, that existed on the
the 14th day of January, 1875.
If that 3d section be now itself
repealed, the former restrictions and
limitations repealed by it will not be re
stored. That is true as a proposition of
law and it is specially provided in the re*
vised statutes, sec. 12, chap. 2, that
whenever an act whioh repealed a former
aot is itself repealed, such former aot
shall not be thereby revised unless ex
pressly provided. The committee, there
fore, believed, and still believes, and has
no question about that, if its bill became
a law banking will be free. The bill df
the gentleman from Illinois was proposed
nnder the apprehensions that the repeal
of the third section would restore the re
strictions in the aggregate amount of
hanking ourrency, and its distribution.
For the purpose of quieting any fears of
that sort, the committee is willing to ac
cept the amendment of the gentleman
from Illinois as a substitute for its bill.
The Speaker informed him that this
could not be done without unanimous
consent.
Objection was made.
Hubbell, of Michigan, a member of the
Banking Committee, inquired of Ewing
what two amendments he would permit
to; be offered. Ewing replied that any
two amendments might be offered that
would be agreed upon by the opponents
of the bill.
Hubbell—Will you allow me to offer a
snbstitute ?
Ewing repeated his proposition.
Hubbell asked that his substitute be
read.
Ewing objected on acoount of time.
Hubbell—Then Iobjeot to your proposi
tion.
Ewing—Very well. I now yield the
floor to the gentleman from Illinois to of
fer his amendment.
Fort, thereupon, offered his amend
ment, the same as printed.
Ewing—I move the previous question
on the bill and amendments.
Hale, of Maine—I move to lay them on
the table. The motion was defeated by
yeas 180, nays 140.
The Speaker then announced that the
morning honr had expired.

A. OAKEY HALL.
HIS MYSTERIOUS RETURN WITH NO EXPLA
NATION.
New York, November 2.—Tho return
of ex Mayor A. Oakey Hall to ibis city is
as mysterious es hiR disappearance last
March. No one appears to know how he

brance of the first part of his journey is
very indistinct. He had no idea of whore
he was going, or the reason for the aot.
Coach’ Robbed—Thieve* Captured
Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, No
vember 2—The coach which left Dead-
wood Tuesday morning coming south,
was stopped and robbed within three
miles of the fort by two armed men. Sev
eral passengers were on tho coaoh, among
whom wore United States Marshal Swee-
zy. The robbers took everything of value.
Lieutenant Chase, with a detaohment of
the Third Infantry, started this morning
in pursuit of the thieves. After a five
mile chase the robbers were captured.
One was identified as Webster, the mur
derer of Deputy Sheriff F. Cuuey.
MEHEMET A LI.
London, November 2.—The Times' Vi
enna correspondent telegraphs as follows:
Mehemet Ali Pasha has arrived at Salon*
ica en route for his Herzegovinian com
mand. He will establish his headquarters
at Novi Bazar, whioh is convenient for
operation either against Montenegro or
Servia. The militia from Constantinople
are to be sent to reinforce him.,
RUSRIAN HEADQUARTERS.
London, November 2.—A special dis*
patch from Bogat, about eight miles
south of Plevna, to the Times 1 has the
following : The Czar arrived here on the
27th of October. Grand Dnke Nicholas
has his headquarters here. Gen. Tadle-
ben is at Tuckenitza with his staff. The
Prince of Routnania’s headquarters are at
Poradin.
HEAVY LOSS IN OFFICERS.
The attack on Telisohe, simultaneously
with the capture of Dubrika on the 24th
was repulsed with the loss of a thousand
men. The loss at Dubnika three thous
and men. Every brigade and regimental
commander was killed or wounded, and
us nearly all the officers of the Guards
are personally known at headquarters,
the faot that two hundred officers have
been plaoed hors de combat has oast
a deep gloom ovor the members of the
staff at Bagat. The bombardment of
Plevna|continues in a desultory way.
BILIBTRIA THREATENED.
A special dispatch from Sarnia to the
Daily Telegraph says Silistria is threat
ened with investment, but is exceedingly
strong in its defence and fully armed.
The garrison is in an admirable condition
and commanded by Selarni Pasha, one of
the best Turkish generals.
REVIEW OF THE ASIATIC POSITION.
A Constantinople telegram says Moukh*
tar Pasha’s position is critical.
The following are extracts from a re
view of the Asiatio campaign in yester
day's Times from the pen of Capt. Nor
man, lately a correspondent with Moukh-
tar’s army, and expelled by the Tnrks for
unfriendly oritioisms:
The Deviboyou, the crest of a range
2.000 feet higher than tho surrounding
plain, presents every facility for a most
determined resistance of Ghazi. Moukh*
tar can reach this in safety, and throw
25.000 men into the very formidable
works that, under the able direction of
his gallant Hungarian chief of staff, Gen.
Koblemann, have been recently con
structed, Devibojun should defy a frontal
attack, and at this season a flank move
ment over the mountains, 8,000 to 9,000
feet above the sea, presents almost
insurmountable difficulties. As to a flank
movement from Olti and Pennek, it may
be checked by the troops from Pennek
under Hassan Bey, who will ooonpy the
works at Guirji Boghaz, a pass where the
three roads from Pennek to Erzeronm
converge.
Erzeroum is not a very formidable for
tress, but under the direction of General
Koblemani), the enoiente has been re
paired, the parapets considerably
strengthened, magazines placed under
the ramparts, detached forts folly provis
ioned. Arrangements are made to insure
an adequate supply of water and more
than 100 Krupp guns, varying from 15 to
20 centimetres oaliber, are mounted on
the walls. The city, however, is very
unhealthy, typhus fever having been rife
all the summer, and moreover it is very
inadequately provisioned, as far as the
civilian element is concerned. All stores
have been seized by tbe Government for
the use of troops. Referring to the re
port from St. Petersburg of negotiations
for tho surrender of Kars, Oapt. Norman
says : I oannot credit the rumors that
the commandant has entered
into negotiations for the surrender of
that place. I am aware from personal
observation that very large supplies of
ammunition, for both small arms and
artillery, were thrown into the plaoe dur
ing July, August aud September, and that
the oommissnriat store house was com
pletely replenished. It was dangerously
denuded of troops during the occupation
of the Aladja Dayh. If Monkhtar Pasha
v/as enabled, subsequently to his defeat
on the 14th of October, to leave a garrison
of the same strength as he did in April,
there should be no fear for its safety. If,
however, be was unable to do so, it is
more than probable it will fall by a coup
de main, but it will not tie starved into
submission. [Note—The garrison in
April consisted of 29 battalions, number
ing less than 5,000 men each. J
Tho Daily News' correspondent with
tbe Russians before Kars states tbe garri
son now numbers 10,000 men.
Illgrlt Wind* In New York.
New York, Nov. 2.—At noon to-day
the wind was blowing from the eastward
uncommonly high. Pedestrians on the
streets were scarcely able to make head
way against it. Not a sail of any desorip
tion was seen on either North or East
rivers, or the bay, the small craft of every
description having sought shelter. The
force of the wind was attested by the fact
that ferry boats were at times scaroely
able to move against the wind. It is ex
pected it will be usually severe to-day and
to-night in the North Atlantic coast.
Mock Operators Arrested.
Han Francisco, November 2.—Three

MINISTER DE CAZES HANDS IN HIS RESIGN A
TION.
London, November 2.—The Times'
Paris correspondent announces the Duke
DeCazes handed in his resignation several
days ago. His retirement may already
be considered an accomplished faot, as he
will quit official residence within an hour
of its public announcement.
THE SITUATION DISCUSSED BY VICTOR HUGOS
Paris, November 2.—Victor Hugo’s or
gan, the Rappel, says: Many Republican
Senators aud Deputies have arrived. Al
though no formal meetings have yet been
held, there have been frequent consulta
tions between them. From these some
general deductions may be made concern
ing the intentions of the Republiouns, aud
the course of events may, to a certain ex
tent, be predicted. There have been no
negotiations or overtures for a compro
mise with the men of the 10th of May.
No member of thh Left has been ap-
proaohed with this objeot by auy repre
sentative, more or less direct, of the Ely-
te.
In conversation between members of
the Republican party various contingen
cies have been discussed, although,
course, no resolu ion has jet
been taken. In the event of Marshal Mao*
Mahon’s retirement from the Presidency
M. Grevy’s candidacy will be unanimous
ly supported. M. Grevy has allowed it
to be understood that he wonld not
shrink from any duty or responsibility in
the interest ot the Republican cause.
Should the Marshal retain his post with a
Republican Ministry, tho unanimous
opinion prevails that more effective guar
antees must be required, than the case of
the previous Ministry. Tho members of
the oommittees of the Left in the Cham
ber will meet on Monday to resolve upon
the course of the party.

RESIDENCE OF WEALTHY ILLINOIS FARMER
BUBNED —HIS DAUGHTER’S CORPSE FOUND

THAT HER THROAT HAD BEEN CUT.
Terre Haute, Ind., Oct, 81.—A horri
ble murder was oommittod last night
about 3 o’clock, 8 miles west of this oity,
near Sandford Station, on the Iudianap
olis and St. Louis railroad, at the resi
dence of Bnrgoyne Tritt, a wealthy farm
er. His daughter Rosa, aged 19, had
been the objeot of attention from a yonog
man in the neighborhood, and also from
Sylvanus Burnham, a hired mau, who had
been in the employ of Tritt three years,

bnrned off, but enough evidence to show
that the girl’s throat had been cut, and a
deep wound in her side. She had been
also smothered in a large oarpet, so that
the trank was not much burned. The
murderer was seen oorning into the oity
early this morning, bnt it is not known

AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE PUBLIC.
New York, October 1st, 1877.
I have devoted twenty years of patient
study to the Liver and its relations to tho
human body, in search of a remedy whioh
wonld restore it, when diseased, to its
normal condition. Tho result of that la
bor has been tho production of
TUTT’B LIVER PILLN.
Their popularity has become so extended
and the demand so great uh to induce un
scrupulous parties to counterfeit them,
thereby robbing me of the reward, and
the afflicted of their virtues.
TO CAUTION THE PUBLIC,
and protect them from vile impositions, I
have adopted a new label, which bears
my trade-mark and notice of itn entry in
the Office of the Librarian of Congress,
also my signature, thus :
•STTo Counterfeit this is forgery, j&a
Before purchasing, examine the label
olosely.
THE GENUINE TUTT'S PILLS
exert a peculiar influence on the system.
Their action is prompt, and their good
effects are felt in a few hours. A quar
ter of a century of study of the Liver has
demonstrated that it exerts a greater in
fluence over the system than any other or
gan of tbe body, and when diseased the
entire organism is deranged. It is speci
ally for the healing of this vital organ
that I have spent so many years of toil,
and having found the remedy, which has
proved the greatest boon ever furnished
the afflicted, shall they bo deprived of its
benefits, and a vile imitation imposed up
on them ?
Let the honest people of America see
to it TIIAT THEY ARE NOT DEFRAUDED:
Scrutinize the label closely, see that it
bears all the marks above mentioned, and
buy the medicine only from respectable
dealers. It can be found everywhere.

POLITICIANS AT THE PLAY.
HOW CLARA MORRIS Afi “MISS MULTON”
AFFECTS THE AMERICAN STATESMAN.
Donn Platt in the Cincinnati Enqulror.J
Washington, Ootober 28.—Returning
along Pennsylvania avenne from my
office yesterday afternoon I was struok
with the appearance of the crowd I en
countered. It was pervaded with in
flamed eyes, red noses and a general look
of utter wretchedness such as I have
never witnessed before. “Hello 1”
thought I, believing this to be the ordi
nary exodus at this honr from tho Treas
ury, “what has happened to the clerks
and olerkesseR? It oannot be that John
Sherman is dead, for in that oaho we
should have smiles, not tears. Has the
inflated currency exploded?” Meeting
Harry Borden, also sad unto death, with
the yet nnsbed tears in his handsome
eyes, I said aloud :
“Hello, Harry, what happened at the
Treasury ?”
Harry removed his beaver, and running
his handkerchief over his wide skating
rink, he gazed at me through his tears
and responded :
“Nothing that I know of ; why ?”
“I thought from the tears, idle tears,
on these intellectual countenances that
some great misfortune had happened
you.”
“Oh! that’s it, is it ?" ho answered;
“why, we have been to see Clara Morris
in Miss Mnlton. Do you know that I
saw General Butler weeping ?”
“Oh, hush!”
“Faot, and if you don’t believe mo look
at General Banks.”
Sure enough, this oast iron ex-Speaker
came strolling along in his dignified stylo,
and his face, like all others, indicating
the grief that finds relief in toars.
If you consider this an exaggeration,
witness the rendition of tho unfortunate
mother by this gifted actress. It is no
uncommon event to have the honse dis
turbed during tho performance by some
poor lady going off in hysterics, and the
other night an elderly gentleman, in
striving to restrain his expressions of
grief, broke down in something like con
vulsions. The next day tho wicked men
on Newspaper Row spread the report that
it was old Simon Cameron whoso guilty
conscience had been touched as the be
trayed widow arose before bim, and that
he fell sobbing: “Fetch her aloDg!
fetch her along ! some of you literary fel
lers. I want to make restitution!”
The nndionce collected at tho National
Capital to witness this performance have
afforded me a more interesting study than
the strange play and wonderful performer.
Now that touch of genius fetohes out
hidden traits of character and makes an
exhibit of emotion no one evor before
suspected. Who oould believe that Ros-
ooe Conkling oould weep ? This man,
who sleeps with his arms folded, with the
gas burning all night that he may be seen
aud sometimes see himself at all hours as
the Senator—oau yon believe that, hidden
in the recesses of a box devoted to him
self, he wiped his Senatorial eyes and
blew his Senatorial nose in grief, like the
humblest of them?
Blaine—impulsive, kind-hearted, mag
netic Blaine—cried outright, with an
abandon that actually indicated enjoy
ment of tbe relief.
Dawes—the Dodger Dawes—will yon
believe it ? actually put his arm that ho
generally keeps in the Treasury shout the
neck of the old swallow-tailed Hamlin,
adown whose aged nose the tears were
falling, and said :
“Ham, my friend, let us be better
men.”
“Dawes,” responded Hamlin, “let’s—
I feel as if I had religion, don’t you ?”
“Can’t say, Ham; I never had any; bnt
I’ll get some.”
Senator David Davis, the 300 pounds
of Senatorial adipose, kept one in doubt
ns to where the perspirntion ended and
the tears began. Incredible as it may
seem, he appears to be weeping all over.
But by far the most impressive specta
cle was a group of Southern men one
night who gave way to their emotions
with an abandon that is delightful to look
upon.
“Gentlemen,” cried Lamar, gazing oat
with gloomy, abstracted look that im
presses one with tbe belief that ho is lost
in tbe dim distance of a dark future, and
sees darkly “the chariot of Gabriel a
oorning with four white horses And a
rusher in the lead” to toat his eloquent
soul to the further banks of Jordan—
“Gentlemen, that is eloquence person
ified.”
“It must be,” responded Hill, wiping
his eyes and then gazing curiously at his
hnndkerchief “for I believe I shod a tear.
She reminds me of au effect I once pro*
duoed .”
“If any dare say she is not tho greatest
of all actors,” oried Joe Blackburn, “I’ll
shoot bim on tbe spot.”
Joe did not say what spot, whether the
seven or the ace, bnt no one doubted bis
sincerity, for by quoting Stanton as ene-
dered by Dix be proved tho intense ex
citement under whioh ho labored.

“Me Lawtl,” said Mr. Pierrepont to a
distinguished English nobleman the other
day, “I-ah do not wish to starhtlc you,
but I’ve Rent in me resignation. I shall
be ministah to tho couht of St. James but
w days longah.”
Blawstit!” said tho nobleman, with
true British vehemence, “what’d yon want
to do that for ? Does old Boacousficld
know of this ?”
“Yaas,” said Mr. Pierrnpont, “I-ah ins
form ed the noble premiah himself, lahst
evening, that such was the case.”
And Albert Edward! You do not mean
to say that he knows, and has done noth
ing to prevent it!”
“I-ah cannot say pweeisely with regard
to his Royal Highness, me lawd ; hut one
of mo distinguished fwionds offahed to
to see to it that l.e was infohmed of the
ah the calahmity in some way.”
H’m !” said tbe nobleman, his brow
giving evidence of great perplexity “The
Queen must be seen at once. This must
be prevented.”
“I feah, mo lawd,” replied Mr. Pierre-
pont, with some hesitation, “it is too ah
too late. The truth is, mo noble friend,
tho pwosident has intimated that me
pwesonoe heah is no longah desiabed by
him. He—that ih to say, h« would like
to see me in Washington. England, me
lawd, will have to get along without mo
for the futuah.”
“Soho !” exclaimed the noble Britisher,
“old Hayes is at the bottom of it, is he ?
Very well, sir. Very well ! Wo’U sec
about that. Tho British nation is not to
be innde an orphan of at the behest of
this person. Blast it, sir ! wo’U put a flea
in his ear at once.”
Precisely what ho meant is not known;
but if England doesn’t keep Mr. Pierre**
pont to herself, thereby preventing his
exile among thoso common place Ameri-
oau0, we shall miss our guess.
