The
CHURCH CHAT-
fluithern Bsp.tist Convention
Meets in JSiintgouicry.
Washington, May 7—After a
preliminary contest for precedence of
business, t.he house went irno a com
mittee of the whole on the private
calendar.
The bill which gave rise to the
most interesting discussion was one
paying $200 to F W Haldeman. The
report stales that during tbe war
Halacman, then a boy of 12 years of
ago, desired to join an Ohio regiment,
but was refused muster on account of
hts age and s zs. He, however, jjui-
cl a-ad a uniform and served in the
regiment a year, acting as bugler and
performing ream duties. He is said
to have performed a gallant service.
Bragg, of Wisoonelu, in a sircastic
speech, opposed the bill. He ridiculed
the Idea of a boy too young to be
mustered in fuifilling scout duty aim
doing galiant service.
Johnson,ot Indiana, and Weaver,
of Iowa, defended the bill and com
batted Brngg’s proposition that, a boy
of the age of this one could not ren
der valuable service in war. J ffineoii
maintained ibat there hud been
many inscanci s where boys had been
as valuable ta men. Jouusou anu
Bragg became Involved m a wrangle
over war reminiscences, into which
Wolford, of Kentucky, was also
urawn.
Finally a vote was taken on the
amendment to the mil, but a Dumber
of its opponen s refrained Irom vis
ing, and the committee being left:
without 8 quorum, rose.
The house then took a reeetB till
7:30, the evening stweion to he for
pension tolls,
Tbe house, at its evening ssssiou,
passed fifiy-flve pension bills, and
at 9:50 o’clock adjourned until to
morrow.

Detroit Free Fre«d of April 23.
For three months the papers of the
country, big bju iLtie.nuve coutsineu
dczdtis of items pertaining to the
visitof senator Charles W Jones, of
Florida, to Detroit. Thousands of
columns of fiotion and slander have
been circulated about him, and some
highly spiced reasous for his stay
have been given. These have been
picked up, expanded, spun out and
rewoven until they bore no resem
blance even to the original rumor,
much less to the existing facts. Tuts
species of American literature is now
cl siippearlng by sitter natural decay
and the items have grown few and far
between. A few days since the New
York Journal contained a column
purporting to be a Djiroit dispatch,
which had in It but the one tru'b
that Senator Jones was in D.-trott,
And that 'e Just all there has t een to

r^tids lias agreed to up'.rt favorably
upon the nomination oi Mrs Tb imp-
«ju, the posunistrfs;i at Louisville,
over wtioc-e appointment there lias
been bo much controversy. The com-
miltf.e is unanimous In her favor,
and there is no doubt of her coi firm-
ation, although Senator B ackourn
will make a fighi against i.er in the
senate. The only objections to Mrs
Thompson are that she Isa woman,
when ihe office is wanted by men;
it for eight years, when there ar- 50,-
000 democrats in L -uievilie who have
never held an office; that she was ap
pointed und reappointed under a re
