It is to be re- petted that the sj*recli cannot be ha<l I t [>ui lication. but in lieu of that a brier ijno|*it of some of the moet salient joint* is given. Judge Decks began by Baying that the Confederate soldier was the most unique figure in all history, and hU was the only unsuccessful' cause which had so ion^ 'idied oblivion, «ud hU name had longer I - an preserved in the archives of a {copies memory than that of any other drunt d soldier. Hi* was an example tf greatness in adversity and triumph in dsfrat. Hs referred to Jeff Davie and hie triumphal march through the streets of Macon a* a recognition of the riicbtroua- ms of our cause.

Hs then went oil to sav that the trying crdsals through w hirh we {massed during tb® reconstruction period were but the crucial proceeaes of the readjustment of tbe sovereignty and equality of the sutss. This is evidenced to-day by our equal rights of representation in the councils of Hit nation. He denied any attention to cast any dishonor upon those •ho fought against us, and claimed that tbs South was tbe proudest and readiest people ujon Clod’s green earth to recognize a foeinan worthy of stceL He referred to Governor Gordon as a bold, brave, chiv- siric soldier and Lee’s right aim in bat tle, and recalled (Jordon's standing upon tbe held of Gettysburg, surrounded by the old soldiers of both armies at the dose of the war, and giving expression to a sentiment which should at least com mand the admiration if not sot u-u the ••parity of our enemies. Ihe speaker said that if it bo treason jok»ve and admire the characters of »°b®rt K Lee, ot Stonewall Jackson and of Jeff Davis and to revere their memo- ties and the canes for which they fooght, then he would claim no higher honor than being culled the arch traitor of the •or id.

Drs«klniide«*s UtiMStlux Delayed by the Absence of a Quorum. "Washington, Aug. L—The Houso committee aa elections to-day made an other ineffectual effort to dUpoee ot tbe pending Clay tan-Breckinridge Arkansas election case. There was not a sufficient number of republican members in the c.ty to make up a quorum, so the demo crats rofused to help tbe majority out of the dilemma by remaining in the hall of tho llouso, leaving one of their number present to watch the proceedings of the committee, thus preventing a quorum. Chairman Rowell will moke an effort to socure tho attendance or tbo republican absentees at tho next meeting, so os to diainise of tho case. The report of tho majority lias already been prepared and submitted to the mi nority for its guidance in making its re- conclusion is, in brief, that frauds and violence prevailed in the district to an extent sutficiont to warrant tho commit- in declaring that Breckinrid.ro was not legally elected and not entitled to his seat. ____________ in,sura clotihk kf.*oli tio.v London, Aug.

He could not undertake to say. whether it would be made illegal after tho protectorate was established. Sir James declared that England and Germany did pot intond to contract themselves out of tho Berlin treaty re garding the territozy coming into* pos session or under the influence of either. After the Anglo-Geraian agreement was signed they would be powerievs to do so. Continuing, Sir James said that Turkey had given her adhcs.on to the Brussels act providing for tho suppression of slavery in Africa, but Holland bad not yet adhered to it.
