THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN | RELATIONS decided yesterday to reject tue appointment of Heury Sanford as Minister to Belgium. AMONG THE CALLERS at the White House to-day were Vice President Wheeler, the Secretary of the Treasury, Senators Allison, Matthews, and Kirkwood, and Representa- lives White, Price, Fort.

BLACK WOOD's Ma ZINK, (Scott reprint,) largely devoted to the Eastern question, treating it, of course, from the tory or anti- Russian point of view. A MEETING of the Senate committee on Judiciary was held to-day. No definite ac- Uon, 80 far as could be learned, was taken | &. on any case, but it is said that the committee will reject the appointment of Fitzsimmons, the Georgia marshal PERSONAL.—Goy. Tom Young, of Ohio, is | atthe Ebbitt House. He comes solely on legal business, has no axes to grind, and is neither seeking office for himself nor bis friends. ---- Attorney General Connor, of South Carolina, has resigned his office on accomt of failing health. THE ARGUMENT IN THE CASE OF SENA- TOR PATTERSON before Jadge Humphreys | on babeas corpus was continued last even ing by Mr. Shellabarger for Senator Patter- son. Mr. Pelham and Mr. Cook followed in arguments for the Senator, and at midnight the court adjourned. SENATOR PATTERSON wants it to be un- derstood that he is not to be counted on as a democrat. He says he votes for the admis- sion of Gen. Butler to @ seat in the Senate because to do otherwise would be to decline to accept that pacification so eagerly sought for by the democrats and so generously dis- pensed under the administration of Presi- dent Hayes, ARMY ORDERS. Major C. . Saiffen, pay- master, relieved from temporary duty in the office of the paymaster general, will report in person to the commanding general of the military division of the Pacific for daty. Leave of Major John Green, Ist cavalry, from headquarters department of Columbia, is extended five months. Leave for six months is granted First Lieut. George D. Wallace, 7th cavalry. THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONTEST.—In a+ cordance with the direction of the Senate commitiee on privileges and elections, Cor- bin, the republican South Carolina contest. | ant, filed @ statement of his case with the committee to-day, and said that he would be present with his counsel, Gov. Chamberlain and Wm Ntone, ot New York, when a day for @ hearing was appointed.’ Gen. Butler, the other coutestant, asked that the comnit- tee do not consider the case until next Mon- day. NAVAL ORDERS.—Lieut-Comman ler A- G. Kellogg ordered io duty at the Wasaing- ton navy-yard; Lieut.Commander Heary C. White to the training ship Minnesota at New York; Master John B. Milton to the Ship Wyoming at Washingtou ewis C. Heilner to the receiving | Colorade at New York; Lieut -Cora der O. F. Heyerman detached fr» ue ders; Loew ing ship Minnesota at New York and o-der-<d | as executive officer of the Swatara at Hamp. | | ton Roads. SENATOR CONOVER called on the Presi- dent yesterday and explained to him the rea- son why he had east his vote in the S-nate with the democrats last Wednesday aud Thursday. He informed the President that Kellogg and Bufler. According to Senator Conover the President expressed himself as satitfied with the reasons given by the Sen- ator from Florida for his action. Mr. Con- over declined to say which way he would vote on @ question to give the Kellogg case precedence over the Butler case for cousider- ation in the Senate. THE ADJOURNMENT of the House of Rep- resentatives until Tuesday next has given members the opportunity to go home and prepare for the winter session. Many at- tended the extra session under the impression that it would bea brief one, and were not prepared to remain continuously, because they came provided only for a few weeks’ stay. The outlook now is that the final ad- journment will be at a late day next week, if indeed then; and the short respite from last night until Tuesday has been taken advan- tage of by at least fifty members to go to their homes and make arrangements for a Stay in Washington through the winter. | THE CHINESE (.UESTION.—The six great | Chinese companies in San Francisco have | telegraphed to the President that threats | bave been made to destroy Chinese property in that city, and expel them from the coaue try op the 20th inst., and urging compliance with solemn treaty obligations to prevent such outrages. A press dispatch from San Francisco states that the 29th has been set for the demonstration of the agitators who have recently been making incendiary threats, but that they assert there is no intention of committin; need breach of the peace, the ob- ject being &:! mpl y to demonstrate the strength Of the anti-Chinese movement. Precautions will be taken by the authorities to preserve order. THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF MANEUVER- ING and canvassing among members of both | political parties, with a view to settling upon @ line of action,to be taken at Mon- day's session of the Senate. The almost even balance of the Senate, now that on the election contests, Patterson and Connover vote with the democrats, makes it necessary for both sides to feel the general pulse before showing their hands openly in the Senate. There 1s @ disposition among not a few re- publican Senators to have the appropriation committee report the appropriation bills, pass the same speedily, and adjourn with the election contests pending rather than to probece the special session to dispose of em. GEN. SHERMAN was before the military committee again yesterday. Referring to a statement recently made in the House that | there were two regiments stationed in Wash- ington which might be sent tv the front, the General said that instead of two regiments there was but one company here at the ar- sepal for the prokction of public propert: In reply to a question of Mr. Bragg, he e: pressed the opinion that there ougnt always lo be a regiment in New Orleans to protect the property of the United States against Ubleves, and in reply to Gen. Banning he said that none of the troops (about 4,000 in num- ber, at different points tn the divis- jon of the Atlantic,) could be spared for feo! Uer service without unwarrantably exposing the property of the government to plaader or decay. The Secretary of War coufirmed the views of Gen. Sherman. MURDERERS.—John A.

The masis were reporied as over the side of ths vessel, and bodies were b-ing washed ashore. It is feared that the vessel is a total wreck and all bancs lost. The Huroa was a thirt Tate vessel, 4 guns, 541 tons, one of R ibe on’s seven Contfaci vessels and’ was not general ly considered very seaworthy. Sie was so constructed that she will easily go to pieces On board the vessel were Commander Ryan, commanding, Lieut A. A. Simons, Lient Lambert @.

There were about 145 soula on board ail told The Huron left Hampton Roads yesterday afternoon for Havana. This is the tirst tim a U. 8. man-of-war has been wrecked ‘since 1815, when the Saranac was lost off the coast of British America. The Secretary of the | hed to Admiral Trenchard | Navy has gop at Norfolk to send a vessel immediately to the relief of the Huron, and if necessary to send a steamer of the Baker wrecking com- pany. The observer at Kitty Hawk reports at 11:30 ra. to the chief signal officer as follows: — . S&S man-of-war steamer Huron struck two miles north of No. 7 station at 1:30 a.m Foremast and main-topmast gone. Steamer a total wreck. Assistance needed immedi- | ately.

Nocarg: Youn@ Lapies wHo Want OsLy WA TER.—A great temperance revival, wader the direction of the Murphy Club of Philadel- phia, is now in progress at Morrisville, Pa. With one exception every hotel and saloon has been closed, and nearly everybody has signed the pledge. On Monday evening a large torehlight procession took place. Bats filled with young ladies singing “Give us water and no whiskey” paraded the streets. while in the centre of each boat stoxl a young lady attired in the habiliments of the Goddess of Liberty, and held in her hand a large glass of water. This was said to have been one of the most striking and interesting features of the occasion. Ali the hotels aad saloons, save the one alluded to above, were brilliantly illuminated. Is CREMATI LAWFUL?—The circum- stances of the cremation of @ child of Julius Kircher, of No. 37 east Sth street, as alrea ty reported in the Herald, were yesterday mule the subject of a report from the sanitary bu- reau to the board of health. The question arose as to whether the act of crema:on was violation of the sanitary code. [t was con- tended by Sanitary Superintendent Day that there is nothing in the code to prevent such disposition being made of a body provided a permit is obtained. Dr. Nagle thonght it was @ violation of law, because the cote provides that a body shall not be disposed of other- wise than in accordance with a permit, and no such permit bad been granted. The mat ter was referred to Consellor Prentice for bis opinion. Y. Herald, 21st A HORRIBLE DEATH.—Sandy Palmer, a colored man, near Milton, N. C., fell from his ©x cart loaded with wood, and the wood fell on him and the front wheel ran on his breast The ox stopped still and stood there all night The old man threw up his hands and rubbed all the skin from the inside trying to push the wheel off.

The committee on resolutions consisted exclusively of ex-Federal soldiers, and the resolutions ie geen and adopted ex- press indignation hhorence of such an act of vandalism, and for the mean and mis- erable spirit which dictated {t. Another res- olution requested the mayor to offer a suit- able reward for the apprehensien and con- | viction of the guilty parties. WHIPPING Post FOR WIFE BEATE! The board of county commissioners, at its meeting yesterday passed the following or- der: “Jtis ordered that the sheriff be, and he is hereby, instructed to erect a postin @ conspicuous place near the court house in the city of Austin, in accordance with the rovisions of section 1 of the act of the legis- ature of the state of Nevada, entitled ‘An act to Prevent Cruelty to Women.’” Tae pest—a large pine log—was hauled into town Unis forenoon and dumped in front of the ; court houte. .
