As j Edge Robertson of South Carolina is absent general Ames will to Morrow report the Bill now nearly ready which embraces from two to three thousand names. The list comprises Many influential citizens of the South but none of the members of Congress or of the army and nary who resigned to promote secession.

Senator Chandler very forcibly reminded the 8enate that the people of the country the press of the country and the senators themselves Are tired of the Georgia hash which had been served up to them for so Many wee is. He succeeded in shaming the senators into some sort of reason for As Boon As Morton concluded his speech no senator arose and a vote was taken on the amendment of Williams requiring a i elect Lon in Georgia in 1872, instead of ibo present year As the Bingham amendment provides. The vote stood Twenty live to Twenty four and the amendment was lost by one vote.

Other events connected with her single life had also Given her name considerable prominence and the false report that she had poisoned herself by an overdose of arsenic taken to beautify her complexion did not detract from the sensational Ohara oter of her life and death.

After officer Wyman arrived and took his position at the front door it was found necessary to forbid ingress to All until the crowd who had become packed inside the House could have an Opportunity to pass out.
