Before the committee yesterday after- j
noon Mr. Lunar, of Richmond, a member j
of the special committee, made an ex- j
haustive legal argument against tae bill, !
and, it is understood, converted a number \
of gentlemen who have beeu inclined to j
favor the bill. Mr. Lamar is recognized as J
a sound lawyer, and is one ot the ablest i
members of 'the legislature. The house I
has great respect tor him. aud great conS j
dence in his judgment, and his opposition j
to the bill will not be without weight j
when it comes up.

a vote of 15 to 9, neither being at ail satis- ;

The President aud Party Eujuy a Sail—Will
Leave for the East To-dav-
Bap. Harbor. Me., August 13.—Presi- J
dent Harrison received warm greeting on
his arrival here to-day on his return from a
visit by the midday boat. He breakfasted |
with Senatcr Hale this morning. Subse
quently Hon. Jonn B. Reiman, recently j
of i the democratic candidate for governor: j
Mr. Nicholas, of Minneapolis, and other i
gentlemen called on the president. Then
Senator Haie drove Mr. Harrison and Sec- j
retaries Blaine and Tracey in his carriage
to the depot,the other members of the party !
following. On aoard tae ferry boat the
president seated himself in a deck chair, j
at the stern, the other members of the j
party sitting aronnd, and chatted with j
Blaine and others. The weather was :
charming. A ten minutes shower had j
just passed over, and the dav was just
bright enough to make the sail delightful, j
At tne Bar Harbor wharf a good sized I
crowd greeted the president, and cheered j
vigorou ly as he passed along to a car- j
riage, which was to take himself and
friends to Stanwood.
It has been decided that Mr. Harrison
will not visit Providence oa his return
trip, but will t ike a boat a: Fall River to-
| morrow. He will be accompanied to Bath
the registry division—not in the 3ame room
with the young lady, but In another. This
young lady and her father, who was super
intendent of the registry division and had
the assignment of cierks, both resigned be
cause the negro had been appointed to a
piace in the office, and not oecause an at
tempt had been made to piace the negro
at tne same desk with the young iady.
From this grew all the trouble in Atlanta
and the effort to utilize the incident for
party prejudice.
The insincerity of this cry is shown by
the fact that there were four negro cierks
in the Atlanta postoffice under the demo
cratic postmaster, and for six years the
young white lady has been at the stamp
window selling stamps to all people, biack
and white. There is nothing in the mat
ter for the department to act upon, and
there is nothing in the action of Postmas
ter Lewis to oe criticised by fair minded
people. Instead of doing anything vio
lently against southern prejudice toward
the negroes, the postmaster sought, in
making appointments, to obviate any
grouni for objecton on account of such
prejudice.
In the postal service we find many of
our efficient men among the colored men.
We have, probably, hundreds of them in
the service altogether, and they make a
good average record.

I remembered afterwards cutting him over

walked out of the room. I went back

Washington, August 13.—The depart-

at Pekin, China, under date of July 3, an
account of the death and extraordinary
: life work of Rev. J. Coosett, independent
| American missionary in Cnina. His career
: appears to have been a very remarkable
one, characterized by absolute self-devo
tion. He died os the steamer Eldorado tn
route from Shanghai to Tienstsin, on the
} 1st of June last. He leaves a widow living
■ at Scuyiersvilie, N. Y. In speaking of Mr.
I Coosett, Minister Decoy couples his name

missionary who lately died on the island
of Moloka, and says:
Crossett's life was devoted to doing good

Thirty-live Buil,lings at Truckee Deslroyed
by Pi re.
han Francisco, August 13.—News has
oeen received here that tire broke out at
Truckee Lake yesterday afternoon and
burned thirty-five buildings iu the business
portion of the town. The flames were first
discovered in the residence of Engineer
Diiley, of the Southern Pacific railroad.
The fire train, which was stationed at
Summit, was dispatched to the scene and
lent much assistance. Among the build
iegs burned were the public school house,
two churches and the American hotel.
The amount ot the loss, which is necessa
rily very large, is not yet learned. The
citizens of Truckee have been ridding the
town of questionable characters, and the
impression prevails that the fire was started
by incendiaries. What little news has
been received from the unfortunate town
does not confirm this theory.
Truckee, August 13 —A disastrous fire
occurred here at 4:30 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon, burning ail east ot Bridge street
aud north of the railroad to the round
house. The American hotel, Irwin’s liv
ery stables, the Methodist and Catholic
churches, two school houses, Ellen’s lum
ber yard. Good Templars’ hall, and thirty
dwellings were burned, rendering many
families homeless. Loss about £75.000.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Extent of Business Done in Listed and l u-
Usted Stocks Yesterday.
New York, August 13.—The stock mar
ket to-day was reactionary in its tendency,
though this was met by a continued good
demand for leading specialties, which re
sulted in a feverish and irregular market,
with wide and sudden fluctuations in a few
specialties, while the general list was
traded in over a narrow range of values.
London figures this morning were again
very much higher than our figures last
evening, but traders were bent upon a re
action ana the opening was irreg
ular, though generally higher, and
the improvement in some of the list
extended to i per cent. The pressure
upon the list, however, forced oft quota

The Wilmington and Vermillion Com-
ny, which has always givefi employment
to at ieast 2'>0*3 men, is also said to be ne
gotiating for men from ether points. This
company operates mines at Braidwood,
LaSalie, Seatonville and other places, and
has grown tired of the repeated strikes.
If the miners of these places desire to re
sume work, they will have to do it very
quickly. The operators say they do not
propose to stand idly by and see southern
operators fill the contracts and iet the
market for their products be forever de
stroyed. Many miners own their homes
and are willing to go back to work at the

the district, to whom the commissioners
shall furnish a list of persons subject to
road duty. The commissioners shall on or
before the first Monday in February re
turn to the county authorities a list of road
hands and a list of ali public roads in their
respective districts and the number of miles
j there are of such roads. Taey shall in-
i spect the work and may discharge the
overseer when necessary. Tne overseer
shall be paid $1 per day when actually
| working the roads. 'The road work in his
! district is to be controlled in all respects
j by him subject to the supervision of the
commissioners.
I The county authorities, when they ss-
! sess a tax for' other purposes, shall assess
also an ad valorem tax upon the property
of the people of the county a sufficient per
cent to raise a sum of money equal to the
road capitation tax assessed for that year,
to be collected as other county taxes are
collected. The money so raised shall be
applied by the county authorities to road

several districts.
The clerk of the superior court, the
county sheriff and the ordinary shali con
stitute a board to pro rate the fund in
counties which have no road commission
ers.
The biil provides that the county chain

them may be employed on road work, and
that such counties as have no organized
gangs may hire their misdemeanor con

such hiring, after paying ail costs and ex

Attempt to Blow Up a Newspaper Man.

tardly attempt was made here yesterday
to assassinate D L Baxter, a well-known
newspaper correspondent, by the explo
sion of a deadly m ichine which was left at
the Leader office, directed to that gentle
man. There was sufficient dynamite in
the parcel to have olown up any building
in the city, and it only failed to aecorm
plish its deadly purpose because the per
cussion matebes d.d not ignite. The parcel
was taken to the offia by a negro boy.
There being no suspicious look to the
parcel, he paid no attention to the appear
ance of the lid. It is believed by some
town of Ric-hiand, in Stewart county.
The following bills passed:
To incorporate the Augusta and West
