! 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.

of Florida, presented a memorial for the

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’

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

who will be hero by Monday week, to
which time the Alabama case was ad
journed.

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.

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.

EufiliNk Politic*.
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.

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

They uro bound to provide themselves
with hoes and baskots, aud with bread to

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

Notice to Shippers.
—On Monday, tho 20th instant, nftor a
perfortuanco at Fox’s Theatre, iu Phila
delphia, a tight occurred between Wni.
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,
