Washington, July 2.—Payson. of Illi nois, from the committee on public lands, reported back the bill forfeiting lands granted to certain southern states to aid in the construction of railroads, with a Benate amendment excepting the Gulf and Ship Island railroad from the terms of the for feiture. Payson said the committee rec ommended concurrence in the amendment. He was in favor of the forfeiture of the Gulf and Ship Island lands, but had taken a stand against this forfeiture, and he feared that if the amendment was not con curred in the whole bill, which involved seven million acres of land, might fail. The bill, as amended, would forfeit the the new rule boards of examiner* at the various postoffices and n<tom houses throughout the coun'r. required to meet on the first Thui of July of each year and elect in secrecy, the officers elected to be subject to the approval of the commission.

Shelbyville, July 2.—The race for commonwealth’s attorney in this district is growing red-hot and promises to be closely contested. The candidates are James S. Morris, ot this county, the pres ent incumbent, and Hen S. Robbins, of Oldham. Considerable bad feeling and no little bail blood has been aroused. Not long since Mr. Robbins, in acard addressed to tne democrats of the seventeenth judi- ial district, brought charges against liis Mr. Morris, Hon. J.

Child nature, primary education and va rious other subjects were ably discussed. Notable among the proceedings were re marks by Mayor Robertson declaring that Texas did not need or desire federal aid in her educational affairs, and a resolution which was ottered and referred to a com mittee on resolutions, recommending that the state reject all federal aid in this direc tion, whether through the Blair bill or otherwise.

The latter, at one time, attempted to mob and drive the home rulers out of the district, which is a great tory stronghold. Plunket, however, pre vented the contemplated outrage.

He says that this meeting of the district com mittee was studiously concealed from him. He also charges Mr. Beckham with not voting a proxy intrusted to him, as he was instructed, and with aiding Morris in all that he could. Both Mr. Morris and Mr. Beckham are out in cards denying his statements in toto. Mr. Beckham argued that the calling of a primary election was a thing for the com mittee, and not. for the candidates to de cide. He says that the meeting of the committee was called at the instance of Mr. Baskett, the chairman of the Henry county committee, and that Mr. Morris had nothing to do with it. He also states that be only had one proxy, and cast that, as directed, against the holding of a pri mary. .

The tories, in order to emphasize the unionist opposition to the premier, withheld opposition and left the field clear to Jacks, so that he might go back to the house of commons with a largely increased majori ty. At the last hour allowed by the law the liberal managers nominated Gladstone himself as tlieir candidate, the premier consenting. Thus equipped, the Glad stones went at their work. This was so effective that Jacks became scared and j j withdrew from the field, leaving the ] | Leith membership to Gladstone, j who was elected without opposition. St. Louts, July 2.—Mr. J. H.

However, under the accepted legnl theo ry in general contracts there are no frac tions of a day, it is held that no embarrass ment will follow the failure to pass tlie bill if the senate—as it probably will—shall to morrow take up and pass the emergency resolution passed by the house to-day, ex tending the appropriation of last year tem porarily. In this event, if the president approves the resolution, it will bear date July 1, and will cover services rendered during that day and thereafter until its term expires. Senator Edmunds’ purpose in objecting to the second reading of the ri solution to day was to emphasize and call public at tention to the repeated failures of appro priation bills to reach the senate in time for due deliberation and seasonable action —a purpose which is approved on both sides of the senate. A CURE FOR GLANDERS. Tin* l.uki* Shore Strike. CHICAGO, July 2.—Unusual cmiet pre vailed in the Lake Shore yards this morn ing and nothing but the presence of a large Pinkerton force would indicate that a strike was in progress. The company lost l no time in following up the advantage I nt the stock yards yesterday. (i caboose, guarded with Pinkerton men and police, was despatched to Packers’ town. An hoi'” was spent in switching on 47th street with no more serious opposition than hooting and yelling of the women and children who gathered from blocks around to watch the unusual sight of train hands working under guard ofarmed men. The switching was going on as usual in the yards. At South Chicago there wa« no opposition whatever of any kind, and from indications it would seem that the strike was at an end.

Montgomery, July 2.—The state demo cratic executive committee met here and issued an address to the people of the state. The address recites the fact that the re publican party ruined the credit of the state, destroyed the public schools, made the convict system a disgrace to humanity and a grievous burden to the state, propa gated intemperance by encouraging cross road “deadfalls” where the ignorant and dishonest bartered stolen farm produce at night for mean whisky, licensed lotteries and c-reaieil a multitude of useless office ;.

The amendment was rejected—21 to 25. There were three other amendments in the same line of economy. Two of them were agreed to and one rejected on the yea and nay vote. An amendment for an additional clerk for the civil service commission was op posed by Vance, who remarked that if the commission was unable to do any more business it would be so much better. Saulsbury looked upon the civil service commission from beginning to end as a useless piece of machinery. If he had his wav he would repeal the law. Yonrhees said that he had never been for the law. sleeping or wakening, but while it was the law he would treat i* fairly and give it a fair chance. If there was any good in it. he hoped the good would come out. The fact would be made manifest in due time, and tlie people would pass upon it. Ingalls did not wonder at Voorhees being in favor of civil service law as administer ed by the democratic party, and he quoted from a statement of the commissioner of pensions that out of seventy-seven men appointed by him under the civil service rule seventy-two were democrats and the other five were of unknown politics. He had 1.0 doubt that if the clerical force of the com mission had been sufficient tiie politics of the other five would have been found out ai d the men w ul I 1 at e been demo r. ts. Voorhees defended the commissioner of pensions and commended the practice of the two great parties in putting their ad herents in office. Still he would no more cut down the force of the civil service c-c n:- niission or deny it the means of giving the system a fair trial than he would vote to cut off the. supplies from an army in the field, even if he did licit approve the policy of the war. The commission was discharging its duty ami he was upholding its hands in a liberal and proper spirit. Call said he did not propose now to ar raign the law as being in the direction of aristocracy and privileged classes or as being a clear denial of the responsi bilities of the president and heads ot de partments to the people. He should take occasion before the close of the session to present his opinion on that subject. All he wanted to state now was that no person in Florida, whether democrat or republi can, had been able to obtain an office under the civil service law. The discussion closed, the amendment was adopted and the bill passed. Sewell then took up the river and harbor appropriation bill. Before the reading of the bill was concluded Eustis. at 4:36. called up the resolutions in connection with tht death in this city on the 14th of March last of Hon.
