Mauy members relieved themselves of perfluous gas. Speoehes were limited thirty minutes—much too long. The dresses were very tedious, and the hole affair a drag. Tho House resolved itself into a com- ittee of the whole, with Mr. Peabody i the chair, to speechify about the hold 's of Convention. Mossra. Longley, Calhoun and Hodge ’gued agaiust one ; Messrs. Walsh, Dell reeman aud Piorce w ere iu favor. The arguments were mainly the same l those of yesterday. Tho Convention dvocates contended the Constitution ontained many defeolR, and a Conveu- on was the speediest, best aud cheapest lode of removing them. The Legisla te should allow the people to say whether or not they desired a Conveu- lou. The Constitution should be made o provide that the Bullock $8,(100,008 of raudulent bonds should never be paid. Unless this be dono, subsequent Logisla- lureH might be iuducod to pay them. A kositive prohibition should be put against |he»n and aid to all wild cat railroad en- |erprises. Tho oppo3ers could seo no necessity for i convention. We are suff ering no griev ances. The bill is unconstitutional be cause it does not allow for a representa- iou of the poople. The bill providing or delegates from Congressional Districts s not based on population. Tho propos 'd amendments do not justify the calling Dt a convention, aud no State or National 1‘iestion of importance is involved. The debate having beeu closed, Mr. Anderson, of Cobb, moved the indefinite postponement of tho whole matter, which carried by a vote of 100 to 65. Messrs. Peabody and Watt, of Muscogee. Poted in favor ol the indefinite postpone- MoecoaKU. Morning Report—Sennte. Washington, January 21).—Conover, of Florida, presented a memorial for the removal of obstruction in the harbor of Ponsaoola. The Committee on Contingent Expen ses was instructed to investigate as to the propriety of discontinuing the practice of furnishing stationery to the reporters’ gallery. The House bill for free banking was reported by the Banking Committee, aud referred to the Committee on the Whole for debate. The Committee on Privileges and Elec tions heard Morgan and Chandler, attor neys respectively for Sykes aud Bpencer, of Alabama. They outlined their liue of argument, and named their witnesses, who will be hero by Monday week, to which time the Alabama case was ad journed. Carpenter opened hiu Louisiana speech in the Senate. House. The House Committee ou Wsr Claims at its session yesterday morning adopted a bill which they will report at their next call, which extends the time for filing war claims to March 3d, 1875, and re quires an explicit statement of the items of amounts claimed in each case. The fourth section provides for the rendition of the whole claim, where any portion of it has been shown fraudulent; the sev enth section provides for the presentation of any claim to the commission within their jurisdiction now pending and uude- termiuod in any of the executive depart ments before March 3d, 1875; the eighth section provides that the commissioners shall also consider such claims growing out of the late war, as may be referred to them by either house of Congress, or the recommendation of a standing committee of oithev house. Evening Report—House. The House Committee on Banking and Currency reported, to-day, a bill to estab lish free banking, iu cases of banks with out circulation, on deposit of $10,000 in the Treasury, and directing the issue every month by the Treasury of two mil lions of United States notes, not bearing interest, aud redeei^able in gold in two years. The Committee desired to retain con trol of the bill, but the House overruled the Committee and sent the bill to the Committee of the Whole. The same Committee also reported ad versely to the bill proposing to establish Post-offioe Savings Banks, which was like wise referred to the Committee of the Whole. Appropriations occupied the balance of the day. Senate. Mr. Carpenter is making his great speech on Louisiana affairs. He will conclude to-morrow. So far, he has been mainly technical and legal upon the point that when Pinchback was elected there was no-body in Louisiana capable of elect ing a Senator of the United States. His argument tends to show that the entire government of Louisiana to-day is bas tard, with no drop of Republican blood in it. Washington Indignant at the Detec tivo Search. The invasion of Mr. Marrs’ house and the search through his papers causes sur prise and indignation among our citizens. It is unprecedented, and the local officers are ashamed of the part they were com pelled to tako in the matter. It seems Smith appeared at police headquarters, a few days ago, presented a letter from a prominent citizen of New Orleans now here, aud exhibited his orders from Po lice Chief Badger. Tho local police put themselves to some trouble to be certain that ho was really a detective aud an offi cer from New Orleans, but still declinod to assist him in his search for alleged stolen papers, Smith then appeared before the Police Court—Judge Snell presiding—and upon making the affidavit telegraphed, swear ing, in addition, which ho seemed loth to do, that the papers were worth ton dollars, the search warrant issued and detectives McEifrosh aud Sergeut were detailed to conduct the search. At an early hour the three officers entered Air. Murrs’ rooms and exhibited their creden tials. Mr. Marrs flashing his eye over the warraut, aud fiuding it in form, sul tion case, shows Davis a Democrat and Hagan a Republican. Waddell, of North Carolina, voted for Davis, but not for Hagan. Five Demo crats voted for both. The Houso snubbed the Committee on Banking and Currency to-day, of whioh Maynard is chairman, by referring his re ports to the Committee of the Whole. Attorney General Williams has gone to New York. Governor War mouth leaves to-night, via New York, and will roach New Or leans Wednesday. U. SI. Stamps oil Confederate Deeds— Wbat the Commissioner Hays. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, has had s full interview with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in reference to the threatened proceedings by revenno offi cers, in some localities at the South, against parties who failed to attach stamps to deeds and other instruments during tho war. The Commissioner states that tho Government has never prosecu ted where instruments issued at the South during the war woro unstamped, nor attempted to compel such stamping now ; but the Commissioner hold* such deeds invalid until stamped. Nor is it requir ed to attach stampB according to the price paid for property iu Confederate money, but according to the real value. The matter will probably be brought before Congress.

London, January 21).—The moss meet ing in Bluck Heath yesterday was not as largo as was expected, on account of a heavy fog and drizzling rain. Only three thousand people were present. Glad stone, however, was ou the ground at the appointed time and delivered an address. He admitted that Parliament had been dissolved because tho Government felt their power was ebbing. He sharply at. tacked Disraeli for seeking to divert the attention of the people from domestic to foreign politics. The real issue before the country wns tho finance measures now proposed by tho Government. Those were eminently practicable. Thoy wanted to reduce and reform local taxation and abolish tho income tax, intouding to re lieve tho consumer by means of the ex isting surplus. A readjustment of taxa tion, aud economy iu the administration of tho revonuos, wore dwelt upon by tho speaker nt great length. Tho necessity for an economy which the Conservatives never predicted, was unfavorable to Con servative reaction. In conclusion, Gladstone proposed as a watchword for the party, a Liberal Union. If tho Liberals were not united, they would suffer a disgraceful defeat. If dis sensions occurred, he would refuso to con tinue to lead the party. Gladstone re ceived a vote of confidence. An address of Mr. Bright to his con stituents is published. His belief pos sesses no special features, and fully con curs in the policy announced by Glad stone. Death*. Lieutenant-General lloury I.

There is no clue to the theft as yet. — Yesterday morning Dr. Pancoast and several other loading physiciaus of Phila delphia. in tho absence of a letter from Mount Airy, left, without advices, to make an examination of tho remains of tho Siamese Twins. Dr. Pan const iM very reticent about tho affair, but it is believed satisfactory arrangements for autopsy A Coni Nine Iu Ureciiluml. This is the latest feature attracting at tention in tho Frigid Zone. It is nearly a hundred miles from Godhaven, aud on the northeast side of the island of Disco, iu the weigat or straight. The vein of coal is about thirty inches in thickness, running longitudinally into tho mountain few feet back from the beach, aud about one hundred feet above the level. A party that wont iu pursuit of the Polaris sufferers visited this miuo and oxaiuined it. They found on top of tho vein of coal three strata—two of sand, with one of clay betweeu tlio two, forming n total thicknoss of fifteen feet, which sand and clay had first to bo removed before tho coal could be taken out. Thoy found veins of ice ruuniug through the sand as far down as tho coni, and the vein of coal incroasod in thickness and good quality as it dosconded, containing a large percentage of bitumen and a light sprinkling of rosin. The first day tho party mined aud took out and carried to the beach ready for embarkation about fifteen tons of gas coal. If they had re mained they could have gotteu out one hundred tons of coal within live days. It is thus proven that the mineral treasures of Greenland are not confined to kyro- lite ; and indeed there may be many val uable mines of various kinds there, the mining of which iu the bosom of the earth would bo free from the terrible se verity of tho cold. Doubtless further explorations aud mining operations here after will reudor Greenland a habitable oountry for a mining population. With good coal available there in ample sup plies, life will be shorn of much of tho terrors hitherto incident to the climate. Egyptimi 4'lieap Labor. According to the letter of a correspon dent, writiug from Egypt, tho govern meat has a very simple method of getting public work petformed. Tho letter says : Is a canal needed ? An order is issued from Cairo, aud ono or two hundred inoi are drafted under direction of a sheik They uro bound to provide themselves with hoes and baskots, aud with bread to last fifty days. In going up tho Nilo, by Dabaubuah, wo saw steamers towing bargeH loaded with at least 2,000 men, their taskmasters among them, ruuniug about over their heads, and with long whips keeping them iu order. In this way 30,000 men are sometimes carried together to one district, many brought a distance of 330 miles. .They aro a liue, strong set of men. They work fourteen hours undor a burning sun, with tho ther mometer 100 in tho shade. Tho numbers engaged on cortaiu public works, undor this compulsory labor system, reminds us that Egypt is the land of the pyramids and the Pharaohs. Upon tho canal from Assiout there are 30,000 of those men employed, and 80,000 are at work cutting a new canal lit the head of tho Delta." THE WEATHER.

Clair, a sceuo shifter, aud John Benson, stage manager. The cause of tho fight was jealousy on Clair’s part, because of Benson’s talking to his wife. A general fight eusued between the actors aud oth ers, during which Clair was stabbed fatally. Several arrests wore made. It is not known who inflicted tho wound. A Wolf aii<fl Deer i'lm**. A correspondent of 1 lie Grand Rapids (Mich.) J'aujIc gives tho following story, which ho received from a surveyor. Its euding may bo to some readers somewhat aggravating. On Friday, January 1G, the writer says, tho surveyor, Mr. Soideu E. Turner, was “goiug west in Montcalm county, Michigan, on a ridge of land oov- orod with piuo, when ho saw a largo deer bounding along with his touguo out, and running in the same direction ho was trav eling. Pretty soon he heard a yelp and saw a largo gray wolf upon his track. Iu a momont inoro another wolf appeared upon the scone between him aud the first and ruuning iu a lino parallel with it. Tho deor took a turn to tho north and north-oast arouud the ridge, keeping in tho valley all tho time. After he turned, the second wolf, which was not at first upon tho track, but was acting as a flank ing party by a line across, struck tho track of the deer thirty rods or so ahead of his companion, coming in about liftoou rods behind tho deer. When ho struck tho track ho announced it. by a single yelp. Then the first wolf abandoned the track, and turned himself into a flunk ing party on the loft of the chase, while tho second wolf continued on tho track of tho worried deer. Tho deer finally faced about t taking a turn around a swamp, making to tho north, then west, south and oast again, until tho first wolf, which all this time kept his eye on tho main chance, by comiug across, struck tho track ahead of his comrade. Ho iu turn an nounced it by a single yelp, when the other left tho track again aud resolvod himself iuto a flunking party. In this manner they continued tho pursuit of their prey and disappeared from view. How the affair terminated is not known. They were all running with tongues out, as if they had been long on the chase. —Chang and Eug wero rebels, but, writes a Philadelphia correspondent of a Now York journal, “they did not go to tho war on tho contrary, the war came to thorn. If anybody is to bo excused for favoring disunion, certainly tho twins ought to be. Thoy knew tho disadvan tages of union, and wanted to try tho other plan a while. —The New York Sun % of tho 1'Jth iust., says: “One of tlie carpet-bug Congress men from tho South delivered a public lecture iu a room ou Pennsylvania avenue one night lust week. Tho subject of tho lecture was tho rotusal of the bur-keeper to trust him for a drink." The Holly Springs lit-fun ter says that several wagons, containing the families, goods and chattels of returning emi grants who had lived m Texas just long enough to become disgusted, and woro on their way back to tho homo of their na tivity, passed through Holly Springs lust week. Painted on their wagon covers in largo, bold letters, wero tho words, “D—n Texas. MARK UTS. BY TELEUKAEH TO F.NUI'IKKK. Money null tttoek Market*. New York, January 29.—Stocks weak. Money 5.
