MuNtuomkky, Maroh 10. In Senate
to-day Mr. Little moved to reconsider
tlm vote of yesterday taxing Express
companies four thousand dollars. He
said that the law would not go into
effect until next year, and proper con
sideration had not been given it. The
vote was reconsidered and the bill re
ferred to Finance and Taxation.

persons, M. ,T. Saffold and others, to
compensation on account of the
swamp and overflowed lands, was
taken up and discussed at some
length, but no action was had.
The Constitutional Convention bill
was taken up, discussed and amend
ed, and ordered to a third reading to
morrow.
Bill to allow a re hearing of the
ease of Coleman vs. Chisolm before

claim of Judge C. is that the State
owes him some S'.OKW as Judge dur
ing the latter years of the war and
before reconstruction. Court decided
against the claim.

agreed to, and Messrs. VV. H. Cham
bers and A. G. Jones came forward
and were sworn in. Prince Gardner
and W. J. Daniels, negroes, the sit
ting members, ‘‘stepped down and
out.”
The consideration of the revenue
and registration bill consumed the
balance of the, day.

THE DAILY TIMES.
MASHIVI.IOV.
Special to the Daily Times, by 8. k A. Lint .)
SENATE PKOCEKPINOS.
Washington, March 10. Immedi
ately after the reading of the Jour
nal, there being no other business
presented, Mr. Merrimon resumed
his remarks on the resolution for the
admission of Mr. I’lohbaek. Ho cited
the ease of Mr. Stark, of Oregon,
who was appointed by the Governor
of that State to till a vacancy; his
credentials were in due form, but ob
jection was made, they were refused,
and on investigation Mr. Stark was
admitted. He also cited the oases of
Mr. Goldthwaito of Alabama, Mr.
Blodgett of Georgia, and lastly, his
colleague, Mr. Ransom of North Car
olina, whose credentials were in due
form, but none of whom were admit
ted. The credentials were all referred
for examination, and although Mesrs.
Goldt h waite and Ransom were Anally
admitted, they wore kept out of their
seats for months.
He then argued that McEnery was
elected Governor of Louisiana by ten
thousand majority; that Govern
ment would have been inaugurated
and would have been recognized by
the whole people of the State, but
tortile interference of the Federal
army. The President had himself
stated Kellogg could not be main
tained in power for one instant unless
by aid of the troops of the United
States. The Senate know, the world
know, that the McEnery Govern
ment was suppressed by the army of
the United States, The Lynch Board
which declared for Kellogg, was not
a legal board, and had no returns
before it. The defunct board which
found McEnery elected Governor,
had the legal returns before it. Mr.
M. maintained that in no possible
aspect of tlie case could Kellogg be
regarded as Governor tht farto. He
was a usurper and nothing but a
usurper. In reference to the Su
preme Court of Louisiana recognizing
the Kellogg Government he referred
to a dispatch of Collector Casey of
December 10th, 1872, saying the Su
preme Court is known to be in sym
pathy with the Republican State
Government. How did Casey know
this? Any set of Judges who would
make known their opinions in ad
vance ought to be impeached. In re
gard to the House passing rcsolttions
recognizing the Kellogg Government,
he denied its authority under the
Constitution for the House to recog
nize a State Government. Neither
the House nor the Senate had any au
thority to do such an act. The House
had, moreover, stultified itself in this
matter, for after passing a resolution
recognizing the Kellogg Government,
it had admitted to seats members
elected on the McEnery ticket, lie
said that, if ho, (Mr. M.) had the ear
of the President he would urge and
implore him to undo the error which
he had committed in sustaining this
Kellogg usurpation, and if the Presi- i
dent would not retrieve this disgrace, j
Congress ought to reverse his action ;
and restore the lawful government of :
the State of Louisiana.
The Senate then went into execu
tive session and t hen adjourned.

At the Cabinet session on Tuesday
the question of recognizing the Gar
land Government in Arkansas, was
discussed. The discussion being par

result of the discussion the President

mination to recognize the Garland
Government, and requested that the
different Cabinet officers take the
necessary steps to inaugurate the
same official relations between the
various departments of the general
government and the State of Arkan
sas as exist between the departments

MAV llAnmillHE.
RESULT OF THE ELECTION DOUBTFUL.
Concord, March 10. Late returns
of the night seem to have changed
the face of the election somewhat,
making what at an only hour seemed
an overwhelming Republican victory
rather doubtful. Returns of the Con
gressional districts are meagre and
insufficient to indicate results posi
tively. 'The Republicans claim to
have elected their Governor, but the
latest returns have reduced the
figures so that no eleotionby the peo
ple seems not improbable.
Concord, March 10.—Returns from
202 towns give Cheney 37,213; Roberts
36,520; White and scattering 712.
There will be no choice of Governor
by the people. In the Senate five if
not six Republicans are elected in
one or two districts.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Savannah, March 10. One of the
most miraculous escapes we have
just learned of, by arrival at this
port of the schooner E. & Y. W.
Hinds, Cnpt. H. C. Dill, from New
York, with a full cargo in port con
sisting of engine and boilers for the
City Water Works and two and a
half tons of powder immediately un
der the after-hatch. The Hinds en
countered a furious gale, losing her
jibboons, had her long boat stove,
several barrels of kerosene broke
from their lashings, and for the safe
ty of the vessel had to bo gotten rid
of, which was done by knocking in
the heads of the barrels, allowing
the contents to escape on deck.
While the mate was in act of cutting
in the head of one barrel, ho was ap
proached by the Captain, carrying a
lantern. The oil immediately took
fire and the whole deck was almost
instantly in a sheet of flames, setting
tiro to the gaily and burning one
side to u cinder and with the oil, con
tinued to burn until the deck was re
lieved of the fluid, which was car
ried off into the water through the
scuppers. A more desperate situa
tion for a vessel or crow could scarce
ly occur; or could a vessel’s crow be
put in a more trying situation, either
the vessel foundering, burning up,
or blowing up, but from an extraor
dinary exercise of nerve.
THE CHARLESTON, SAVANNAH AND FLOR
IDA LINE OF STEAMERS.
On and after tho 17th instant, the
steamers City Point and Dictator, of
the Charleston, Savannah and Flor
ida Line, will discontinue their trips
via Savannah. They will leave Char
leston direct, every Wednesday and
Sunday tit, noon. This change, we
understand, has been made in con
formity with wishes of sojourners in
Florida who desire to return home
via Charleston.

The Ice Horwc In the Maryland Ulvrr.
Port Deposit, Md., March 10,7 in M.
There is no great change in the riv
er and ice at this place. Notwith
standing the moderation in the
weather, several small channels have
been opened opposite the town du
ring the last few days, among the
smaller islands, and indications are
such that we are sanguine of little or
no trouble. Persons appear to rest
I easy about the ice now, but have not
I moved baek to their vacated homes.
I The ice below and opposite the town
| appears as solid and strong it did a
! week ago.
1 Another Female Lawyer. Miss
ICaroline M. Burnham, of Philadel
; phia, has applied for permission to
i practice before the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia. Her appli
cation has been referred to an exam
ining committee by the court in gen
eral terra. Miss Burnham has studied
law, and although she has never been
admitted to the Philadelphia bar, she
has been connected with a law firm
in that city for several years past.
The Supreme Court of the city liav
ing admitted one lady (Mrs. Belva A.
Lockwood) to practice, it is probable
that the present applicant will be ad
mitted in case her examination is a
satisfactory one.

A game called "lamora” is played
in St. Louis bar-rooms. Its advan
tage is that nothing but lingers is re
quired. Each player puts his right
hand, palm downward, on tho bar,
extending as many lingers as he
chooses. Then they guess how many
lingers both together have out, and
tho one who comes nearest to correct
ness scores one point. Twelve points
make a game; thumbs rate the same
as lingers; and when the guesses are
equally good, neither counts. “La
mora” is an Italian diversion, brought
over by emigrants.
A red-haired lady, who was ambi
tious of literary distinction, found but
a poor sale for her book. A gentle
man, in speaking of her disappoint
ment, said, “Her hair is rod [read] if
her book is not.” An auditor, in at
tempting to relate the joke elsewhere,
said, “Site has red hair, if Iter book
hasn’t.”
Tlie French military authorities are

In the recent snow a favorite breed

"You say,” said a judge to a wit
ness, “that the plaintiff resorted to
an ingenious use of circumstantial
evidence; state just, exactly what you
mean by that.” “Well,” said the
witness, "my exact meaning is that

The ghost of Noah Webster came
