VALUABLE FEEIOUT FROM CHINA TO FRANCE AND ITALY BY THE WAY OF AMERICA. Three freight ears containing SC,- 000,000 worth of silk-worm eggs ar rived at St. John’s Park depot on Tuesday. They had come from Hong Kong to Bau Francisco in twenty three days, and thence to New York in less than seven days, the speed be ing faster than the mails are carried by the same route. This uncommon cargo is going to Italy and the South of France, and could have reached its destination quicker and at less cost by way of the Suez Canal, but it has been found useless to ship them that way because the Southern cli mate hatches the eggs. The silk worms are put upon long sheets of cardboard in China, and are left until each board is covered with eggs, which are about the size of mustard seed. The eggs stick to the cards, which, interlaid with sheets of paper, are packed in wood en boxes, tightly closed, and wrapped in canvas and matting. In this ship merit there were f>47 cases, containing over 160,000 cards. The cases were transferred yesterday to the Ham burg steamer Frisia, which will sail for Europe to-day. When the eggs reach their destination they will be stored in vaults, secure against warmth, until the mulberry trees on which they feed have grown their foliage.—New York .Sun. Col. Megrue returned from Wash ington to St. Louis on Thursday.

Editors Times:— Early this morn ing a negro came to town after the Coroner to go out about eight miles on the Columbus road to hold an in quest on the body of one Jerry Gor don, who was killed on Saturday night under the following circum stances : A colored man by the name of John Epps sued out a warrant against Jer ry Gordon for stealing his cattle. The bailiff was absent and John Epps tcolj was authorized to arrest tho negro and bring him before a Jus tice. Accordingly John Epps, armed with the warrant, and in company with several ot his neighbors, both white and black, went in search of Gordon. They found him in a negro house and attempted to make the ar rest. Gordon tried to escape by climbing up and out by way of tiie chimney. He managed to get out on top of the house, and there resisted the party as long as he could get rocks and sticks from the chimney, which was made of mud, rock and sticks. His resistance was of such a nature that the parties attempting to make the arrest wore forced to fire on him. which they did, one shot taking effect in his back. After he was shot he drew a long dagger, sup posed to be one taken from some walking-cane, and started to slide down the roof, remarking that he would kill two if no more as soon as he got to the ground. But in this he was mistaken, for as soon as he reached the gronnd he was immedi ately set upon by the parties who took him in charge. He lived about three hours when he died. This is the same negro who was arrested a fews days ago by some of the poi.ee of Columbus with stolen cattle, and was allowed to go to the country to gel testimony to prove that the cattle be longed to him. He came back to the same neigh boi hood and met the fate here stated. The form of the Coroner’s verdict was that he came to his death from gUDshot wounds in the hands of par ties unknown. Mr. J, H. Willis was foreman of the jury. Old Talbot is tired of hog thieves and cattle thieves and will not tolerate them any long er. This negro bore the name of be. ing a very bad negro. Talbot.

Mr. Edmunds said, in reference to the resolution lie had offered on Fri day last concerning a Bresidont pro tem. of the Senate, that after further consideration of t he subjoet and some discussion he had concluded that the matter should not be loft open for discussion from this time until the 7th of January. He therefore asked the adoption of the following resolu tion : Resolved, That Mr. Thomas W. Ferry, of the State of Michigan, be tho President of tlie Senate until January 7th, 1876, and until a fresh appointment shall be made. Saulsbury asked if this resolution did not involve one of the questions submitted to the Committee on Privi leges and Elections. That commit tee was directed to inquire whether there is a vacancy in the office of the President pro tem. This resolution assumes that there is a vacancy. Mr. Edmunds thought not. He had drawn it in such a way as not to as sume that wo have or have not a President pro tem, but if by any legal quibble it should happen that we have not a President, then this resolution ends it for the time being, and until the Senate does decide finally in the matter. Mr. Bayard moved to insert the name of Mr. Thurman in place ot that of Mr. Ferry. Lost, ayes 21 nays 24. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Morton said that in voting he diditin the spirit in which it was offered and disclaimed the expression of any opinion on the subject. Mr. I’erry, who had vacated the chair during tlie consideration of the resolution, resumed it and said: Sen ators—l desire to thank you for your further courtesy and confidence. Mr. McDonald gave notice that he would hereafter submit a substitute for the States Rights resolution here tofore offered by his colleague. Mr. Morton hand them in now and let them be printed here. Mr. McDonald—l prefer to hand them in hereafter. On motion of Mr. Morrill, of Ver mont, tho Committee on Commerce was instructed to report by bill or otherwise as to the expediency of in creasing the efficiency of the service of steamboat inspection. He said il' what was said in the papers was true, there was shameful neglect of duty on the part of inspectors. The resolution of Mr. Morton to in vestigate the late election in Missis sippi came up. Mr. Eaton hoped that Mr. Morton would allow it to go over till after the holidays. Mr. Morton consented. The Senate then went into Execu tive session, and then adjourned till January Gth, 1876.
