District of Columbia greenback j certificates. The conference report on the river and harbor bilPwos agreed to and a conference was otdered on the sundry civil appropriation bill; also upon the bill regulating tho printing and publication of public documents. Mr. Blair, republican, of New Hamp shire, introduced a joint resolution directing an investigation by the department of labor into the lynchings of the past ton years, tho cause thereof, etc., which wns referred to tho committeo ou labor. The last two hours of the after noon session were devoted to tho con sideration of bills to reclassify and regulate the salaries of clerks in the railway postal service and in first and second class jiostoffices, but no action was taken on either of them. Tho house voted to adjourn over until Monday. At 5 o’clock, under the rules, the house took a recess until 8 o’clock, the evening session to he de voted to the consideration of private pension bills. At the evening session nino private pension hills wero re ported with favorable recommenda tion, and at 10 o’clock p. m. the house adjourned nntil noon Monday. The house, Monday, voted to non concur iu the senate amendments to the general deficiency bill, and asked a conference thereon. On motion of Mr. Catchings, of Mississippi, tho sen ate was requested to return the con ference report on the river and harbor bill, in which an error was discovered, a sheet of it having disappeared. Mr. Paynter, of Kentucky, announced that owing to the enforced absence of Mr. Woodward, of North Carolina, who made the report for tho minority in the contested election case of Williams vs. Settle, from the fifth North Carolina district in favor of Williams, and which had heeu set for consideration during the day, it has been agreed that the ease should go over until next ses sion. In the house, Tuesday, tho senate amendments wero agreed to the bills to subject greenbacks and national bank notes to state taxation and to amend sections 2,401 and 2,403 of the revised Statutes relating to tbe survey of public lands: also for the protection of persons furnishing labor and mate rial in the construction of buildings. A concurrent resolution was agreed to directing the secretary of the interior to suspend the opening to settlement of the Aiiadonda reservation in Flor ida. A senuto bill was passed to amend the quarantine act of 1892, by reliev ing excursion boats, plying between Canadian and United States ports, from its operations.

Immediately afterwards Mr. (latch ings, from the committee on rules, re ported a special older setting aside the day for the consideration of bills from the committee on public build ings and grounds, and Thursday for business from the committeo on cluiras. The special order was adopted. the senate. The last of the appropriation bills, the general deficiency, passed the sen ate Friday and will now go to a con ference, in which the disagreeing votes of the two houses will be reconciled and adjusted. Seven out of tho four teen appropriation bills have already become law through the signature of the president. These are the fortifi cations, the pensions, the military neademy, the naval academy, the post office, the diplomatic and the legisla tive. The other seven are some of them in the president’s hands awaiting approval and the remainder in confer ence. Tho house bills for the admis sion of the territories of New Mexico and Arizona ns states were reported from tho committee on territories and placed on the calendar, from which they may be taken at any time and passed. The conference report on the river and harbor bill was presented and went over until Saturday. After a short executive session tho senate adjourned. There would have been no session of the sen'ate Saturday but for the suet that there had been an earnest desire expressed on Friday evening to have action on the conference report on tho river and harbor bill. It was discov ered, however, that technical errors had crept into the report, or into the bill, and that it was necessary to send the whole matter back to the confer ence committee; and so the report was withdrawn for that purpose. The ab sence of any important business press ing for action lurnished an opportunity, tbe first time ibis session, of tuking up the calendar and disposing of ail private pension bills on it. There was ouo rather important bill passed, with very little discussion and with no opposition. That was tho house bill to subject to state taxation nation al bank notes nud United States treas ury notes. A few amendments of form rather than of substance were made to the bill. The bill introduced by Davis, Fri day, defining options and futures and imposing special taxes thereon, was at his request read the second time in the senate, Monday morning, and laid on the table. Mr. Mills offered a res olution declaring that in the revision of national taxation, these three prin ciples should be observed: That all taxes are burdens and can only be rightfully imposed to raise a revenue for the support of the government; that when taxes are imposed on im ported goods, the rule.- should be so low aH not to materially r> strict the im portation of kn article; and that in se chosen, and that all those imported for manufacture or re-manufacture, should be oxempt from duty. It was laid on the table temporarily at Mills’ request, Mills saying he would call it up in a few days and make some re marks upon it. Tho Chandler resolu tion for inquiry into the facts eonuect ed with the organization nud history of tho Dominion Coal Company, of Novia Scotia, wns taken up. , After au hour’s debate in the senate Tuesday morning, on the claim of one Leathers, for carrying tho United States mail on the Mississippi rivor before tin- war, the matter went over until Wednesday nud the senate took up the conference report on ihe Dis trict of Columbia Omnibus Street Railway bill nud ut 2:05 adjourned.

The convention will nominate four supreme court judges and a state treasurer. The incumbents of these offices have no opposition. The interesting questions are the sil ver plank and the question of pri maries for the instruction of members of the legislature for United States senators, there being two to elect in January.

Tho house democratic caucus of Tuesday afternoon adjourned after de ciding that the house conferees on tho tariff bill should not lie embarrassed by instructions of any character from their democratic associates. This ac tion was disappointing to the pro moters of the caucus. Mr. llolman presided. The roll call disclosed the presence of 108 members, nu unusual ly large number. The “tomorrow” upon which the tariff conferees havo been for some weeks promising nu agreement at last gives promise of fulfillment. When tho tariff conferees adjourned at a few minutes before 0 o’clock Wednesday it was with the understanding that at tho session Thursday morning all the details should lie arranged and the re publicans called in the afternoon and informed of what their democratic colleagues had done. Acting under instructions from the executive committee of the hoard, of foreign missions of tho Southern Pres byterian church, tho Rev. Dr. J. W.

Secretary Gresham told Mr. Bachman that ho did not think there was any immediate danger to the missionaries, but that they would he protected. A Washington special of Saturday says: Another week has passed and except for rumors the conference com mittees on tho tariff are no ncarur than when they entered the committee room, Spoaker Crisp holds the key to tho situation, It is he who is hold ing tho senate at hay. The speaker wants a bill more after the order of tho one tho house framed and if it is possible to get it, it will be hud. The house conferees may not win out, but they will not yield until tho spesV er is thoroughly convinced that the bill will bo lost otherwise. He has not reached that conclusion yet. The senato is yielding i»y inches. . It has proposed a sugar schedule which gives the trust a differential of about half what the senate bill gave it. Tho con ferees were oil this proposition all day Saturday. One of tho conferees gave out the information that the last liar in tho fence might bo lowered at any time and the committee get to gether. TIIK GUILOTINE Will be the Kate of President Carnot’s Slayer. The trial of Banto Cesario was con cluded at Paris Friday. When the arg ument had been concluded the court gave these questions to the jury: "Did the prisoner, Santo Cesario, assassin ate President Carnot, and was the crime premeditated? v The jury retired at 12 :05 oeloek and was out just thir ti en minutes. They returned to court and presented an affirmative answer to both questions. At the announcement of the verdict the supercilious grin which Cesario has worn most of the time during the trial disappeared like magic and his face blanched. Attorney General Folchier demanded the immediate imposition of tho death penalty. ’I here was a silence for a moment and then the judge in solemn tone, but with a touch of harshness, pronounced the sentence that tho pris oner be put to death by the guilotino.

Brndstreot’s Business Review of the past week says: “While little significance is attached to the moderate improvement in trade at Sun Francisco, Pittsburg, Balti more, Augusta and Atlanta; when it is added that clearing house totals foi July report twenty-nine cities with larger aggregates than in July last year, contrasted with the June report, which contains only eighteen cities with aggregates larger than those in Juno a year ago, it is perceived that, there aro influences at work at the in terior favoring an increase iu the vol ume of business. Wool remains stendy at last week's 1 cent advance, speculation having been stimulated by differences of opinion as to tbe tariff outlook for that staple. Wheat lias advanced, in sympathy with corn, ou increased orders ami reports of crop damage from abroad, while corn’s charp advance is due partly to exag gerated notions of damage from drought. There is little likelihood of tho corn crop being smaller than in either of the two preceding years, not withstanding our advices of 25 per cent damage in Kansas and 40 per cent in Nebraska. Southern crop prospects generally are excellent. “The improvement announced in tho general trade at San Sraneiseo is iu part based on the interest manifes ted in tho war in Asia, provision deal ers particularly anticipating larguly increased trade. “War between China and Japan has not affeoted tho price of ten hero yet, though there is an increased demand noted at Now York, Boston and Chicago, Cable advices are that crops of tea are likely to equal those of lust year. Teas are low now, and stocks here moderate. If tea ports should lie closed high prices would follow quick ly. China exports lmt little rice, and Japan’s rieo export season has passed, while wo are entering upon a new crop. Brices of rice would probably be sharp ly affected should the war continue another season. They may be moder ately enhanced in any event. “Added interest in wool has charac terized the l’hiludelphia as well as Boston markets, Slight iucrenses iu the demand in nearly all leading lineH are reported from Pittsburg, and at Baltimore jobbers in dry goods, no tions, hats and shoes report business more encouraging. Providence jewel ry manufacturers report orders vet y small and the outlook not promising. “Advices from southern cilice- re port moderate gums and fair prospects for the fall at Memphis, no improve ment in Charleston, the trade selling cautiously at Savannah, and business quiet ut Jacksonville, where collec tions arc slow. There is an improve ment in the volume of Imoinc .s at Au gusta, and jobbers at Atlanta are tilling orders more freely, owing to good crop prospects. Nashville, too, announces an improved outlook. Chattauooga’s July trade is reported larger than for June, hut at Birmingham business is quiet and collections nnimprovod. Trade lias been slack at Now Orleans, but the hoot and shoo business is im proving and manufacturers nro busy. Advices from Galveston and other points in Texas continuo to report im provement.” A HI'.VVE ENGINEER Thwarts Train Robbers by Rushing Through an Obstruction. Lake Bhore express train No. 12, arriving from the west, puffed into the union station at Cleveland, 0., Tues day morning after having enjoyed a most thrilling experience on the plains of Indiana during tho night. An at tempt was made to hold up the train ut Kessler, Indiana, upon the iden tical spot that the train was held up last fall. The train was fast approaching a split switch at Kessler when the engineer noticed that the switch was turned so as to run tho train on the siding. A big obstruction of ties and lumber was piled upon the siding a few rods ahead of his engine. The obstruction did not appear to be im passable, and the engineer put on all the steam and dashed through the pile, passing safely on to the main line through tho split switch at a high rate of speed. As the train passed tho obstruction the engineer noticed a group of masked men and as tho engine cleared tho track of all obstacles the wcmld-be highwaymen fired several shots into the train, none of which, however, took effect. The United States express car was attached to the train and had on board a largo amount of money. It is thought that this was known to the desperadoes who attempted to hold up the train. Their disappointment in not carrying out their plans of stop ping the train was evinced in their firing of shots when they saw that their plans had been foiled by the boldness of the engineer in dashing through tho heap of ties upon the track. MORE J A I*AN USE VICTO RIES. Great Britain and Russia Fall as Peacemakers. Advices of Wednesday from Yoko honia, Japan, state that additional battles have been fought between the Japanese and Chinese, and the latter have been defeated. Seikioau has been takeD by the Japanese with trifl ing loss. The Chinese in this engage ment lost 500 killed. The enemy fled in tho direction of Koshin. The Jap anese are in possession of Yashan. An imperial ordinance just issued permits Chinese to reside in Japan on condition that they engage in peaceful pursuits. Tho greatest excitement prevails at Yukohoms, at Tokio and at other towns, ns a result of the victor ies of tho Japanese troops. Rumors, however, are current that tho Japanese naval forces have been defeated in an engagement with Chinese war ships. THE FEAOKItAKEHH KAtU. It is officially reported from Tien- Tsin that the efforts of Great Britain and Russia to bring about a peaceful settlement of the disputes between China and Japan have failed. China is willing to pay an indemnity, bntshe refuses to surrender her sovereignty ’ over Corea. The Chinese government has closed the Amping and Takao light l houses, oil the island of hormosa.

Our farmer.! are going to be in a bail fix next winter. They wont have any nubbins to feed •he steers on. I never saw such big fine corn nor so much of it. I never saw such fine cot ton in Bartow % county nor a* uitioh of it. Our farmers made a fine crop of wheat and oats, ami they will make a big crop of sweet pota toes. The gardens are tine, the cattle are fat, ami ths chickens an- juicy. A kind providenoo and diligent work bea's the nllisnco and all its ► igns and grip.-* and passwords and resolutions. I sco that some farmers in South Carolina have recently parsed a resolution that they will not sell their cotton seed for bss than 20 cents a bushel. If they moan by that to put them back in the land, it is good, but if they mean to force the market price, it is as foolish as our state alliance at Macm, that a few years ago r< solved that they would hold their cotton un til it brought 12 1-2 cents a pound Hut far mers generally have quit such foolishn* as and havo fallen back on hard work. They had :K?mQ fun, nud a few of their leaders got into office, but the masses nev r got their bands in the sub-treasury iioi their cotton and grain in gov ernment warehouses. I never knew any good to come of 'heso secret-cits-* associations, 6x cept win ro they ar ■ formed for charity. Those formed for political purposes arc a menace to good government, and an insult to outsiders. I remember when the know-nothing party came into being and Jor a few months hover, d over tho country flk« a dark and threatening cloud. Those who did not belong to it felt. subdued and alarmed for they did not know who th y were nor whom to talk to in confidence, rom* morning* wo would find the sidewalk spotted witii r«d pap* r tt iangles that meant a secret meeting somewhere that night. If a municipal election came * ff the. know nothings never said a word, hut when the bal lots were conn' od m« n were elected who were not eindidafce*. Outsiders stood aghast. Many would havj joined but wore not wanted nor in rited. “Pm none but Americans on guard to night” was tho patriotic shibboleth, and no foreign-born citizen need apply- Protestant preachers wcraall in, but no priests nor Homan Ostlu lies. 411® soon the power of money began to be felt ; of tlie woist men were nom inated for office. About that time Aleck HtephcuS had waked up to the situation. He stumped the stale against tho now party, and so keen was his invoetivo, so masterly his argu ments, tiiat good men everywhere dropped out of it, and their candidates were defeated. It was withering and tragic tb ,-oo the little giaut flash his dark eyes and boir him scream: “How nowiye secret,dark and midnight bags! What is it ye do? A deed without a name.” Yes, a party without a name, a party that dark moth counsel without knowledge, a starchom h r that would politically guillotine La Fayette and Baron do Steuben, if they wore here; a jtariy that designating hypocrites and pointed demagogues originated Un in C aggrandis -merit• .Tulin Gary Well hft had,lielp-era’ co-opera"lofiTl/lft I ##: r ‘*wir g\y n mwjctrtioiier. L tme see. That was about forty years ago, and now that same old party has conic to life again under a new name—the A- P. A.’s— and its vilification of Human Catholics is just liko it was then. Th* papers sent mo from Duluth and Rock Island teem with slander and lies. They declare tho Iloinan C'&tholic priests to be liber tin ss and tho convents bagni*s and the ed itor of tho Duluth paper boldly charges that tlm cells in the basement of me convent in Dn- Juth mre built to imprison tho nuns who re fused to submit themselves to the pri* sts. Tho Dululh paper says that tho assertions that tho Mieimans were Human Catholics is an infamous, slanderous lie, and that if lion# era us, Mc- Clellan and McDowell anti McCltnnard were Homan Catholics they wore Utter failures ns commanders; that out of tho 144,000 Cath olic Irishmen in tho union army, over 100,000 of them deserted, and that it was Human Cath* ol c infiueiico that caused tho assassination of Lincoln and Gurfiold. They are awful mad with Mr. Cleveland for«tt< tiding high mass on the death of Carnot, and denounce the pope for sending old J* IT Davis hi* apostolic bless ing. The anathemas in these papers are fear ful, anti I don’t see how they can keep up the lick. When I was young I read a book called “The Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk.” Maria was un escaped nun from a Homan Catholic e nveut in Montreal,and her pitiful story was as startling a* is that of IdaWeJls on the southern people. She sold 200,000 copies in a littlo time, and wah a great heroine in the best so ciety of New York and Boston. But by and by the whole story was disproved by a committee of Protestant clergymen in Montreal, and Maria had to retire as a fraud and an impostor. But she made a snug little fortune to retire on,and that is what Ida is trying to do. The fools are not all doad yet, and she knows it. But no party can ride into power on the waves of persecution, 04pecially religious perse cution. The A. P. A-’s will only make the Ro man Catholics stronger and more zealous. They are strong nbw. They can stand alone even in a sectarian war. The pope and tho cardinal and aichbishops have recently made a declara tion against the liquor traffic that will have a wide-spread influence for good government in this country. I wonder what Duluth will say about that.* But persecution, boycotting, exil ing, disqualifying for office and general ostra cism for opinion’s sake has never been a lasting* success, llamau thought he had the dead wood on Mordecai and the Jews, but llamau was hung and 75,000 of h s confederates were slain with the sword. But, what excuse can the people of the south have tor this persecution of tho Homan Catho lics? I gather from these organs of the A. P % . A’s. that ono grevious comphpnt against the Irish is that thuy vote the democratic ticket and hurrah for Grover Oleve and, and are against a protective tariff and are friendly to southern traitors. This is about the sum of their offen iiug. and lor this they are “not vo hold office nor io bo employed in any capaci y if a Pro:estant can bo obtained to do the work nquind.” These two tilings constitute the creed of the A. P. A’s. Then, how can any self re p cting southern man join them or give them aid and c mfort in any wa}?” Jefferson said that ciror ceases to bo dangerous when reason is left free-to ombat it—and there never wai a time when reuson was as free and as intelligent as it is now iu the United Htato*. Iho whole thing is a republican scheme, but it will not work in tho south. Our people aro getting hard to fool with bait that do -s not hide the hook*—Bill Arp iu Ailuuta Constitu tion.
