"Washington, July 25.-Therc is «om«
prospect this afternoon that the almost
Interminable debate upon the anti-op
tion bUl may be brought to a speedy and
unexpected end. The large majority
disclosed in favor of the consideration
of the bill whenever formal motion lias
been made to take It up greatly discour
aged the opponents of the measure, anti
• they were obliged to fall back ui»on the
last resort of threatened minority in the
senate and talk against time, hoping to
protract the debate and prevent action
on the bill until final adjournment. But
eertuln elements have been at work in
tlie direction favorable to optxmition.
White’s speech, unlike the majority of
set speeches, undoubtedly made some
converts to his side of the controversy,
and the number of remonstrances that
have been pouring in from commercial
and financial bodies in the United
States have also had their effect l'ur-
tber aid to the opiswdtion has come
•from the extremely warm weather,
which has made the temperature In the
senate chamber almost unbearable, and
has weakened the'purpose of the sen
ators who were resolved to have a vote
on the anti-option bill before they left
Washington for the summer.
Tmlay it was suddenly announced by
some of the opponents of the bill that
the senators above referred to would

The committee regretted that the evi

show them that they can repulse any

and if they are not careful they will bring
a storm of Hou*ton county Democrats
down on them that will auulbilate tbs
Third party in this district.
A worthies* negro waa heard to remark
ou the streets here last Saturday that
he did not cure whether lie worked any
more or not, for If the Third party cauie
Into tiower he would be fixed with an easy
job for four year*.
One of tlie most prominent Third party
meu hi this couuty denied most emphat
ically to your corrosjMindent a few days
ugo that bis party wus trying to organize
the negroes, lu this assertion they ure
wido of the truth, faist Friday at Rey
nolds Fred Wimberly denounced alt the
Democrats in the state, aud said that the
leuding pu|H>rs of that old broken down
corrupt party were afraid to denounce
the new' party leaders or their platform,
ltoforc lie closed, ho bad some of his
Third party hearers to herd all Ihe ne
groes there were on the ground In ons cor
ner, tbe whites making room for them;
and addressed them fully twenty minutes,
telling them that If they would only Join
the Third party and make it successful,
they would secure better wages for their
labor, aud could buy the necessaries of
life for a)»out ouc-hulf what they were
paying now.
There are proofs sufficient that they
are making nil kinds of overtures anil
premises to the negroes.
Now. Houston county Democrat* are
not going to wait until they can carry in
to effect their nefarious designs, hut will
prepare for them at ones, ami will meet
them over half w«y, and give (hem n
severe attack. The cry In Houston Is
“Down with the Thin! party and their
white negro organizers, whom we d«-
nounee n» more dangerou* to the peace ol
the county than any organized baud of

The remainder of the state had better
