Tne alarm at last became so great that
two companies, under oommand of Colo

When tbo gurid had its attention call

down on tbs left, there on the right again
appeared the manifestos of the men of
the revolution.

by unanimous consent, narris,of > trginia,
and Chittenden, of New Yort, were al
lowed to have their votes recorded on the
I. entire Appropriation bill. The for-
._.r ia tho uifiiuiV.ive and toe latter m
the negotive—both having been under
the impression that they were paired with
Other members. ,
Tho question camo up a3 unfinished
bnsicess of yesterday on the postpone
ment till n-xt Saturday of a bill reported
from tho Coinage Committee in amend
ment of the statutes relating to ooinage,
end to gold and silver bullion certificates.
The Senate resumed tbs consideration
cf the bill u prevent the introduction of
eatagious or infectious diseases into the
nltod States.
In the House the pending question wss
on ordering the main question on the re
solution postponing the consideration of
tho bill relating to coinage and certifl-
ates, and it was ordered by yeas 116,
nays 107. The resolution was then
adopted.
Mr. Sparks, of Illinois, has called up
the order made yesterday to reconsider
the army bill, and the house is now vot
ing upon the question whether upon re
consideration the boose will pass the bill
notwithstanding the objections of the
President. No debate has been perm t-
ted upon the motion.
The House refused to pass the army
appropriation bill over the President's
v.-to, the vote standing yeas 120. nays
110, lacking the necessary two-thirds in
the affirmative. It was a strictly party
vote Only five of the Greenbacks™ vo
ted for the bill, none votmg against it.
Mr. Kitchen, of North Carolina, rising
to a question of privilege, denounced the
allusion to himself which appeared in a
speech printed in the Record as the
speech of his colleague, RusselL He
characterized the speech as infamously
false and slanderous, but said that he
was not surprised at his eolleegue vio
lating every parliamentary rulo and
every rule of decency and propriety.
Garfield made a point of order that
Kitchen’s language was unparliamentary,
bnt tha point was overruled by Speaker
Randall, who remarked that the gentle
man (Kitchen) had previously stated
that he mount to say nothing personal.
Kitchen reserved farther remarks un
til his colleagae should be present.
WasniNOTON.May 1.—Tho Senate com
mittee on poet-offices and post-roads to
day authorized the chairman, Mr. Maxey,
to report for passage a Mil providing that
in all cases where special mail service
has been placed on new routes, the Post
master General may, in his discretion,
extend the temporary contracts until tho
time when regular service can be obtained
by advertUemcnt,and also restoring the
old law which permitted snoh contracts
to be mode for one year. The bill is
based upon a communication from the
Post-office Department showing that un
less it be promptly onacted.the service oft
a large number of mail routes in the
Won! aod Soutuwest mu.t ba absolutely
discontinued for several months.
The difficulty has arisen from changes
made by Congress in the laws regulating
temporary contracts and advertisements
to which attention was called by Post
master General Key early last winter, r
Mr. Maxey, in reporting the bill to the
Senate this afternoon,gave notice that he
should ask its passage at the first possible
opportunity.
The two committed* appointed re-
soectively by tho Honso and Senate
Democratic caucuses to report what
courao of action shonld be adopted in
view of tho Presidential vetoes passed
and prospective, held a joint meeting
this afternoon. In the absence of Sena
tor Jones, of Florida, his ptscs on the
Senate ooinmitteo was filled by Senator
Hampton, of South Carolina, and for
Similar reasons Representative Bragg, of
Wisconsin, and Goode, of Virginia, were
to-day appointed by the chairman of the
HonBO caucus to fill tho places heretofore
occupied by Messrs. Phelps, of Connecti
cut, and Tucker, of Virginia. The other
members of the two committees named
in last night's dispatoh were all present
this afternoon with the exoepnon of Sen
ator Kernan, who wa3 to-day in New
York.. ~
Senator Thurman presided. After a
Tory full Interchange of views ell present
agreed npon a proposition concerning the
army bill to be reportod to separate osu-
euswis of the two Houses to-morrow af
ternoon, whioh it is expected will bs
adopted by both of them, and tbns ren
ders a joint canons on the.eabjeot unnec
essary.
It was decided that the terms of this pre
position shonld not,bo made pnblio in ad
vance of their sabmission to the caaoases,
bat there are grounds far stating that It
will recommend the repasssge of the army
appropriation bill, with tho eixtb section
changed so as to apply, only to the offi
cers of tbo army and navy and not to the
United States oivii ofSoers, thus obviating
the principal objection raised by the
President against Us approval.
Tho argument by which this recom
mendation ijill be supported is in brief
that tho President vetoed tha bill be
cause of its alleged abridgment of the
powers ot civil offioerr; that, in reality,
this was not the intention and would not
bo tho effeot of the bill as heretofore
passed, aud that tho President having, in
tha opinion of the Democratic party, eva
ded the main Issue, he should now be
given an opportunity to pass upon a bill
which shall present to him the sole ques
tion whether or not tho army or any por
tion of it shonld be used to keep peace
at the polls.
For tha purpose of attending the cau
cus the Democratic majority will procure
an early adjournment of the Senate to
morrow. Tho House has already ad
journed ovor till Saturday.

tween the combatants when the fight

Ocx would show up the whole affair about
the leaso business and the interests con
flicting, showing why it was neoe6sary

asked witness' friend if be had a pistol
and he answered no; Cor went to A. u.

A dispatoh to tbe daily leUyraph from
Cape Town, d.tid April X5ta, «»ys: Da-
balmani:, who led the attack at Gingle-
lova on tha 3rd instant, and other chiefs,
a large armsd following have^pro-
faised snbmisdon. Lord Chelmsford
promised them personal safety and pos-
aeasion of their cattle, bnt said pending
the termination of tbe wer they should
be located on British territory.
John Dana having pledged his word
for their safety, these chisfs ere ex
pected ia at ones. -
The head of tbe intelligence depart
ment hee moved forward from Greytown
to meet representative* from Cettewayo,
but the sincerity of hi* proposals te sus-
^john Dunn has gone to Dnrban. His
presence at besdqnarters is thought nec
essary to secure tbe submission of the
chiefs. Ererythiog portends an eaily
peace. Meanwhile war operations arc ac -
tively proceeding, and an advance on
King’s Kraal Beemi certain from Colonel
Woods’ direction.
John Dsnn, formerly Cetewayo's a®*
riser, assures me that Cstywayo’s prid e
is broken. Before the war he regarded
(he British as useful neighbors bnt con
temptible in strength and from good feel
ing and partly from incredulity ot their
ability to molest him, CsMwayo refused
to molest ns. Now he sees hia mistake,
and provided he gets good terms person
ally, will come in.
Owing.to the badness of the road
Helpmakoar has been abandoned. Dan'

Uuiv.-rsal hope is entertained that tbe
resignation of Sir Battle. Frere will not
be (accepted. As regards Lord Chelms
ford, every kiadly allowance is made for
hts conduct of tbs war, but public opin
ion remains as adverse as ever. This
seems to indicate that Sir Battle Frere
has tendered bis resignation as Governor
of Caps Colony.

ant Governor, James E. Cantrell; for At
torney General, P. W. Harding; for Au»
ditor, Fayette Hewitt. The committee
on resolutions reported the following,
which wpre adopted unanimously; ‘‘Dem-
ooratic Kentucky,in convention assembled
reaffirm their attachment to tho consti-
6titution of the United States and Ibe
union of the States as tho best guarantee
fpr the liberties of tba people and their
prosperity and happiness. They re-'
joice in the fact that it is in their power
to xecogm'zs that all States are reatorsd
to political autonomy. They record
their solemn protest that the popular
rtrdict at tbe polls has been re
versed by the action or an electo
ral commission, and they declare that
while in the interest of peace' that result
was ^acquiesced in, yet it shall not be
held os a precedent for future violations
of right and justice. Though thus de
prived of the control of the executive
power in the administration of the
Federal Government, they congrat
ulate tho people of the country at
large that th9 popular will, expressed at
the polls, has secured the supremacy of a
Democratic majority in both bouses of
Congress. In farther expression of our
views, we resolve that we hive viewed
with intense interest the straggle be
tween tbe Congress of tho United States
and the President, and contemplate with
unfeigned anxiety and condemnation the
unprecedented attitude assumed by the
Executive in bis message rejecting the
supplies tendered by the people for tbe
support of the army npon the wholesome
condition that no military forces shonld
be used at their elections.
Resolved, That we hereby endorse the
position taken by our Senators

coupling with the appropriation bills
now pending, a demand for the
redress of grievanoaB by the repeal of
the existing law, which tolerate the
presence of soldiers at the polls; and the
eonttauanoa of the test oath as a condi
tion for jary service, and the employment
of supervisors and depnty marshals to
