Committee reported adversely on
Fitzsimmons and favorable on Har

port on Wharton’s nomination as
United States Attorney for Kentucky.
SCENE IN THE SENATE—EDMONDS
DEFEATED AND LAUGHED AT.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Washington, November 26.—The
scene in the Senate to-day was wor
thy a full statement but for the un
fortunate condition of the wires.
Mr. Edmunds met his first signal
defeat by the rejection of his motion
to refer a newspaper article, charging
a bargain between Gen. Butler and
Senator Patterson, to the Committee
on Privileges and Elections. Had
tills motion prevailed, as it was a sub
stitute for Mr. Thurman’s resolution
to discharge the committee from fur
ther consideration of Butler’s creden
tials, and empowered the committee
to send for persons and papers, a vote
as between Butler and Corbin would
have been indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Edmunds, however, made his
resolution the vehicle of ungentle
words towards Messrs. Patterson and
Conover, whereupon Edmunds was
handled for his course regarding
Pinchback.
Mr. Edmunds, they say, was de
feated and laughed at for the first
time to-day.
The beuring of Conover and his
ecli are pronounced excellent. Mr.
speec ,
Patterson was somewhat excited and
once pronounced a statement of Mr.
Edmunds untrue.
Mr. Thurman made the point that
while these charges were pending
against Mr. Patterson the majority
liud made him chairman of the most
important committees of the Senate.

NO. 219
as Senator from South Carolina, and
Davis, of Illinois, explained the rea
sons why he favored the motion to
discharge the committee.
Davis said it was important that the
vacant seats from South Carolina and
Louisiana be filled. The legislation
of Congress was binding uiion the
people of those States, and they had
the right to expect that the claims for
these seats should be acted upon at
tlie earliest possible moment. Had
the Committee on Privileges ami
Elections reported in favor of seat
ing Kellogg before tlie Senator
from Ohio (Thurman) sub
mitted his resolution to dis
charge tlie Committee form tlie But
ler ease, lie would have voted to con
sider the Kellogg ease first but lie
thought the resolution of Thurman
having been submitted first was en
titled to precedence.
Edmunds after a brief reply moved
the Senate proceed to tlie considera
tion of Executive business. Rejected
yeas 28 nays 30.
Conover and Patterson voted with
the Democrats in tlie negative.
At five o’clock the Senate went
into Executive session on the vote of
Senator Davis, who said much Exec
utive business required attention. A
prolonged open session is expected
ufter tlie doors are opened.
Tlie House bill repealing resump
tion was read and referred to the
Committee on Finance. A resolution
discharging tlie Committee from
further consideration of tlie Butler
case was resumed.
Edmunds read an article from the
New York Tribune, alleging Butler
had used corrupt Influences in tlie
lobby and tlie Senate itself, and Ed
munds proposed as a substitute tliut
this question be referred to the Com
mittee.
After a very short debate, the sub
stitute was defeated by 27 to 30, Mat
thews and Davis, of Illinois, voting
witli the Democrats, and Patterson,
against whom the resolution was main
ly aimed, not voting. Tliequestion re
curred on tlie main resolution and an
all night session is probable.
LATER.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
A number of dilatory motions liave
been made by Republicans to put off
tlie vote. They are having read pa
pers as to tlie South Carolina election

him vote for adjournment. If lie
don’t tire, to keep session up till 12
o'clock to-morrow, when tlie Kellogg
case will be called up.

HIGHEST WATER KNOWN AT RICH
MOND.
Richmond, November 26.—Mid
night.—The excitement in the lower
part of tlie city is most intense. Peo
ple residing and merchants doing
business below Kt. Charles Hotel, on
Main street, tlie point reached by
the water during tlie great fiood of
1870, are moving goods from tlie
stores and other places of business.
The streets are alive with vehicles of
every kind, and tlie people are en
gaged in tlie work of removal. The
waters from the region of Lynchburg
are showing effect on tlie river, which
is now rising at tlie rate of eighteen
inches to two feet pel- hour, if this
continues till morning, which is now
probable, tlie water will be higher
than the lioodof 1870. In theextreine
lower portion of the city it lias reach
ed 17th street, and is in a few feet of
First Market, on Main street.
FROM LYNCHBURG.

is as high as in 1870, and still rising
steadily. Tlie bridges are all goncanu
tlie damage to all sorts of property is
immense. The James river und Kan
awha canal, between Lynchburg and
Richmond, will probably sustain
most serious damage by tlie overflow
of the river and consequent breaking
of its banks. The Hood of ’70 caused
loss to the Canal Company of several
hundred thousand dollars and the
suspension of traffic for months, and
this disaster is likely to be repeated.

uml other vessels parted cables and
drifted with the current. Communi
cation between Washington and
Alexandria by railroad and boat is

IN THE HOLY SEE.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
London, Nov. 6 2.—The Paris cor
respondent of the Timm telegraphs as
follows: It is said and I cite tlie opin
ion of the most reflecting men, for it
throws light on passing events, that
one great obstacle to tlie reconcilation
of public (lowers is that the prompt
ers of the Executive foresee tliut at
no distant date, through a vacancy in
the Holy Sec, France may have to
play an ‘important part, and are re
solved ut any cost tliut the office si ml 1
not then be held by the Liberals, who
not only would not pursue the tradi-
ditioual French policy, hut might add
Immense strength to quite an oppo
site coourse. From this point of
view many things, otherwise obscure,
become intelligible, and one can un
derstand how the eoup of the Kith of
May, though evidently directed against
the'Liberal party,was not designed to
favor any other particular faction.
This also explains the formation of
the new Cabinet. Neither a Repub
lican nor a Bonnpartist Ministry can
satisfy those governed by special anx
iety, for the latter would not serve
their interests, hut would dissolve the
Chamber only for the benefit of the
Empire. Now, in the view which
governs the policy of the Elysee, dis
solution with or without the budget
being voted, would continue tlie
power for some time in the hands of
those who regard external interests
as paramount.

For several months rumors have
been reaching us of tlie efforts of two
Mormon elders, Morgan and Murphy,
to make converts to their faith, on
Sand Mountain uml in Georgia. Last
Saturday a number of the Mormon
converts and their families reached
here by private conveyance, from
near Rome, Ga., and went into camp,
awaiting the arrival of their brethren
and sisters from the Sand Mountain,
who were to join them ut this place,
where all were to take tlie ears for
New Mexico.
Some of them were hero three days,
and a number of them were "inter
viewed” by our townsmen. They
seemed very much in earnest in the
belief that they wore “fleeing from tlie
wrath to come” by leaving this part
of tlie country, and following after
the faith of the prophet, Jo Smith.
What is strange, tlie women seemed
even more eager to join tlie colony
than tlie men.

Miss Mary Anderson is living with
her paronts'in one of theqiiict brown-
stone houses in (lie neighborhood of
the Fifth Avenue Theatre. Being a
faithful Catholic she goes out every
afternoon to tell her bends in St.
Stephen's Church, ns since she was
fourteen yours old it has been her
daily habit to pass an hour nt her de-
otlmiH. Yesterday when the writer
saw her site lmd just returned from
the church, where she admitted she
hud not received much consolation,
and was feeling very blue at what she
insisted wastin' failure of her Juliet
last evening. “We were alt out of
humor, T think,” she said, “uml I
never once felt like Juliet. It was
the most perfunctory and painful
tiling T ever did, except one other
wliicli I wns guilty of in Louisville.”
“But,"said tlie reporter,“thecritics
this morning have given you very
flattering notices.”
“Oli, I know they are kind,” she
said, “lint nevertheless, I was n very
had Juliet last night. Mr. i’lymptoii
was out of sorts, I know. We went
through tlmt piece without u sugges
tion of the right feeling.”
Which, from reports, your au-
lienec didn't see. You must ut least
like your Ne.wYork audiences."
Indeed I do,” she said with great
heartiness. “They are as kind as
possible, and have'plenty of enthusi
asm to cheer one. But I know that last
night I was all wrong. Very likely
to-night, though, 1 shall net just to
please me mid come home elated.”
“Forgive me for saying that the
critics seem to have taken especial
liberties with your dresses."
"Nearly all tlie adverse criticism
lias been about my dresses. I am
so glad it was not about me. There
is that poor, poor dress I wore as
Pauline; it luis been wittily trailed
through columns. They call it yel
low. in point of fuel it is a peach
colored satin, trimmed with bluet
lace and velvet. It is not especially
a modern dress ; it lias a trail, and I
take it that u trail was a proper and
oiirtly feature one hundred years
ago. I certainly take great pains
with my dresses.' Fornll my Shakes
pearean characters I have my dressei
faithfully copied from the plates in
Boydcll's Shakespeare. Especially
my dress for Lad)/ Macbeth is copied
town to tlie finest line,mid the black
wig, which I had made ill l’hiladel-
iliiu, was studied nud labored with
iy tlie wig-maker for a week before
he hud’gol it to suit me. I suppose
tlie gentlemen of tlie press must have
something to say against us, ami i
am willing to give up my dresses to
the sacrifice.”
“Why does the Name, in speaking
of your Juliet, say ‘not eighteen’ in
stead of ‘not fourteen’?"
"Because I think 1 mil young
enough to lie known as eighteen.
Very likely when I gel older I shall
have it fourteen. "But Hiddons is
always ‘not eighteen,’ and in Gar
rick’s text, which is generally used,
it is printed‘not eighteen.’ I think,
perhaps, I am a little sensitive of any
thing suggesting extreme youth, be
cause of what lias been said of me.
J do not like to be called ‘phenome
nal,’and I was very ungry once when
somebody, seriously uml meaning
neat praise, spoke of me as the‘girl
wonder.”
“There is such a marked differ
ence,” Miss Anderson said again,
"between Eastern anil Western peo
ple. They are ho cold in Kentucky,
and here in the East they are all so
enthusiastic!"
“One may hope that if you like
New York they will keep you hero
to enjoy il always.”
•‘Oli, I have lieen delighted during
my stay here. 1 don’t believe any
body ever fared better than I have
fared here and in Boston. Bo you
know Unit Mr. Longfellow look a
great fancy to me? By tlie way he is
the only genllemmi tliut I ever called
l. He sent word tlmt lie wished to
e me and couldn't very well come
to me ami so would I lie' good enough
to go to him. Of course I went. But
lie did come to see me very often after
that and we all were to l lie opera to
gether. He caught cold in my ser
vice filially and fell quite ill. He is
tlie kindest uml most charming of
old gentlemen, and I shall never for
get how lie encouraged me mid made
enthusiastic.”
But surely lie is iiottlieonlyone?”
Well, no. There was Dom Pedro
—I am a favorite with the old gentle
man, I believe—and General Sher
man, Bom Pedro saw me in Balti
more as Eeadne, and during Hie play
sent to have me go to his box. My
mother gave me a great many direc
tions, and particularly impressed it
on me that I was not to ask him any
questions. Bill I forgo! ullalioiit tlmi,
lie rose and took me liy the bund so
kindly when I went in, and I asked
him ever so many quest ions —how he
enjoyed himself' here, whether he
huh a pleasant trip from Brazil, when
lie was going hack, and i euii’l begin
to tell what ill. lie was delightful,
and I was interested in him, and for
got all about wliut my mother hud
said. I was frightened when I did
think I was going out. She said
nothing, hut I believe she was pull
ing me Icy the sleeve while I WllS
thoughtlessly questioning the Empe
ror. But I couldn't help it. He said
I gave great promise, ami invited me
to go to Brazil, and tlie next night he

and I thought if I could goon a stage
and make other people feel as ho
made mo feel I should care for no
thing else in tlie world. I have often
thought of it silicons I sat in my room
at home among my swords”-
"Your swords, Miss Anderson?”
“Yes, I can fence. I have a room
ful of swords uml dumb-bells and
clubs, and I practice with them every
day. Unwomanly, you think, per
haps? Well, il lias made my hands
very big and course [it has not], but
I thought it was better to have health
than little hands. I was not strong
nt all when I began, and now I am
full of health. Nothing hurts me; I
am never sick. My father taught mo
fencing. I remember how pleased lie
was, and I too, the first time 1 dis
armed him. You see, I have a wrist
for it—at least my father says 1 have.
Mr. Plympton cautioned me against
taking’ undue advantage of linn as
Pauline. He is not a large mail, and
I think feared the treatment possibly
that he told me Miss Neilson once
bestowed upon her support. In tlie

lie was obliged immediately on rising
to repent the line, ‘After my full,’ etc.
But I was careful of Mr. Plympton.”
Miss Anderson said she was sensi
tive to criticism, uml she thought
everybody was. Edwin Bootli told
her to pooh-pooh it uml brush It off 1 us

Host on J*ost.]
The ease of Miss Agnes 'Eagan, the
operative in tv Full River mill, spoken
of ill the Pout of Friday last, is one of
singular interest, and has created con
siderable comment among those fa
miliar with the facts. That her
dream should ho impressed upon her
mind witli so much force, and after
wards prove true, even to (lie slightest
detail, is wonderful. The following
are the facts of the ease us near as eun
he learned: Miss Eagan is a young
lady nineteen years of age, who lives
with her mother and two sisters ut
tlie corner of Seventh and Bedford
streets, Full River, and lias been em
ployed for some time past in the Gran
ite mill in tliut city. She is of a very
cheerful disposition, pleasant, genial
niul obliging; in fuel, the light of her
home and a favorite with all who
know her. Her manner is refined
and ladylike; in feature amt form
she is comely, uml for one in her con
dition she is remarkably intelligent.
But for the past six weeks she lias
appeared like one in a dream, sober,
taciturn and melancholy, us if she
hud a foreboding of some coming mis
fortune. On Tuesday, the (itli inst.,
she appeared more cheerful than she
had been for some time. She retired
at the usual hour, Lilt on arising tho
next morning was very much de
pressed, anil cm being questioned as
to the cause replied : ‘‘I hail a fearful
(Irenm last night. I thought that
I went to tho mill and was
bilking with one of tlie girls,
and while talking with her I was sud
denly unable to make any noise and
• I ill not speak again, hut was able to
hear anything tliut was said.” Her
friends laughed ut her and said she
was foolish to let such a thing worry
her, and endeavored to draw her
mind from the subject, hut in vain.
She continued to talk about the mat
ter while in the house, and on arriv
ing at the mill she told her associates
about it, uml they also endeavored to
show her tlie folly of her fear, hut to
no purpose. About eleven o’clock one
of her chums said to her: “Agnes,
are you going to the party to-morrow
night?” She replied. “No, 1 think
not; Ido "and she was dumb.
Her dream was a dream no longer,
hut a stern reality. Not a sound could
she make. The shock was preceded
by a sharp, tingling sensation in tlie
throat, extending through the entire
system. She made known her con
dition liy means of writing; and a
physician was ut once summoned,
who pronounced (lie attack a nervous
one, and stated that with cure she
would recover; that many persons
have lost their voices in the same
manner, and advised the use of the
electric battery. But the young lady
refused to subject herself to that mode
of treatment and stated that she was
confident if they did she would also
lose tlie sense of sight and hearing.
Since tlie attack Miss Eagan has re
covered her former cheerful disposi
tion, and is apparently as happy and
contented an before tier misfortune.
She lias resumed her duties at the
mill, uml her friends hope that witli
care she will in time recover her
speech. She passes among them as of
old, lad her voice is hushed, and tliu
power to articulate seems to have
gone from her entirely.

“And what
man?”
“He is un old friend. You think,
Gel-Imps, lie is a very stern, cold man,
Imt heisno sui-li tiling. He writes
the most charming letters you ever
saw, and lie talks just as he writes.
And, dear me! how many questions
lie asks. Whenever lie conics to see
us lie wants to know how many
rooms we have, and how much we
pay for them, and where we came
from last, and where we are going
next—all of which is good to hear,
though I do laugh."
“Suppose I were to put to you a
very comprehensive question, ami
ask you for u little sketch of your
life.”

ago—no, it is nelfrly nineteen now—
young nineteen, I think, my mother

great passion for the stage, and the

of idleness and luxury could lure me
