The Mississippi Contest Taken Up in the House. MR. CHALMERS IN HIS OWN BEHALF. Ses SENATE, Mr. Edmunds,expressing dissatisfaction with the performances of the clock in the Senate chamber above the main entrance. moved that the sergeant-at-arms be directed to purchase a clock to replace it, and the presiding officer (Mr. Ingalis) having borne his testimony to the eccentric duties of the ancient time keeper,the motion was agreed to. MR. QUAY'S FORMAL NOTICE. Mr. Quay gave formal notice of his intention to ask the Senate to adopt the order proposed by him last Saturday to commence voting on the tariff billon the 30th of August and to postpone till next session all other legislative usiness, except the classes of bills therein specitied. Mr. Hoar—Let it go over. Mr. Edmunds—Lot it go under, [Laughter] ‘The notice went over till tomorrow, THE DEFICIENCY BILL, The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the deficiency bill. Among the amendments reported by the committee on appropriations and agreed to by the Senate were the following: Inserting item of $75,000 for the international boundary survey between the United Stater and M ‘0. Striking out the item of $600.to defray ex- enses of bringing home the remains of the Inte Lieut, Nye of the United States navy, who died at Lima, Peru. Inserting item of $40,000 for deficioncy in appropriation for contingent expenses of United States consulates, Inserting item of 37,000 for the purchase from Frederick 8.

The amendments appropriating an aggregate of $1,239,688 for the payment of the French spoliation claims were opposed by Mr. Plumb. who denounced the claims as essentially frandu- lent and intended not for the benefit of the claimants, but of attorneys and assignees, ‘The amendments were detended and advo- cated by Messrs. Hale, Blair and Morgan, and Were agreed to--yeas, 31; nays, 12. IRRIGATION AGAIN. The bill was reported back to the Senate and all the amendments that were agreed to by the committee of the whole were agreed to in bulk, the only one reserved for a special vote being that inserting an item of $40,000 to complete the investigations by the Department of Agri- culture as to the underflow aud artesian waters and the availability for irrigation. Mr. Gorman argued against the amendment 48 8 proposition under the inspiration of men who wanted places. He said that before the session closed Congress would have to make provision by increased taxation to meet the ap- propriations already made, Mr. Plumb advocated the amendment, and suggested that Mr. Gorman must have spoken facetionsly, as that Senator had just voted $1,200,000 for claims arising prior to 1300—biils for the payment of which had been vetoed by two democratic Presidents—Polk and Pierce, HOUSE, Mr. Sweeney (Iowa) presented and the House agreed to the conference report on the Senate bill to reorganize and estublish the customs collection district of Puget sound, On motion of Mr. Morrill (Kan.) Senate bill was passed authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Columbia river by the Oregon Railway Extension Company. > On motion of Mr. Cummings (N.Y.) Senate Dill was passed granting leaves of absence to per diem eimployes in the customs service. THE MISSISSIPPI CONTKST, Mr. Dalzell (Pa,) called up the Mississippi contested election case of Chalmers against Morgan. The majority report finds in favor of Mr. Morgan, the sitting member, Mr. Chalmers was then granted permission to address the Honse for an hour anda half in his own bebalf. After criticising the majority report, he asserted that there was now and had for years been a conspiracy existing in the south for the carrying of elections for the democratic party. ‘That party was determined to carry elections honestly if it could, forcibly if it must, The state of Mississippi was the leader in that con- spiracy. Men who dared to run on the repnb- lican ticket or to make republican speeches curried their lives in their hand. That the black vote in the south was suppressed could not be successfully denied. It was on the suj presion of this vote that the republicans of the House had JUSTIFIED THE PASSAGE OF THE LOGE BILT. If the republicans after passing that bill should turn around and adopt the majority report in this case they would put themselves in a suspi- cious attitude before the country. Before the meeting of Congress it had been charged that the republicans intended to turn out enough demoerats to give them a good working major- y. If, after getting that majority, they declined to give him his seat, they would give color to that charge. It would ve said that when they were undértaking to pass a law to give them a chance for a majority in the next House they suid that certain testi- mony was true, which in this case thoy said Was not suficient tocstablish a conspiracy in issisvippi. He did not believe that the repub- lican party could afford to place itself in thut attitude and he did not think it would do it He then proceeded to examine in detail the EVIDENCE OF FRAUD AND IN ATION in the various counties of the in order to substantiate his charge thata huge con- piracy existed to defeat him for Congress. For the House to sustain the report was to Offer a premium on fraud and to say that the stealing of a congressional seat was nothing but a political purchase, THE FORT PILLOW CHARGES, He said that in order to prejudice his case the old story in regard to Fort Pillow.had been received. In the Forty-sixth Congress charges had been made him = connection with Sichad asked it bad charges. against him were true, he had { not been the commanding officer.” If the | charges were true they brought disgrace upon the gallant Forest, who stood by his side The fact that until the end of the war he had served with that officer as second in command was proof that he was guilty of no conduct un- becoming an officer and a gentleman. No gentleman on the democratic side would believe a story which would disgrace the brave Forrest, and the men who had served under Grant and Sherman were too manly to bring disgrace upon an American soldier. Continu- ing, Mr. Chalmers said that he felt that this re- ite form of government was in danger of eing overriden and TRODDEN UNDER FEET BY THE SOUTHERN OLIGARCHY. For fifteen years the republican porty had been fighting the northern democrats in the open field while exposed toa flank fire from the southern democrats entrenched behind walls erected by fraud and violence. They should see to it that the national government was not controlled by fraud and vio- lence, Tne southern governor who had without protest seen outrages like the killing of negroes at Yazooand Currolton, grew trantic with rage over a fair tight between two pugil- iste, It was fair question whether the demo- cratic party was not going to the devil as fast as it could and taking Mississippi with it. THE ELECTION BILL FIGHT. It Will be Fairly Opened Tomorrow When Mr. Quay’s Resolution Comes Up. EXPECTED TO BE A SHORT AND SHARP CONTEST —TIALK OF A CAUCUS TONIGHT—MR. QUAY'S FOLLOWING—THE PRESIDENT'S POSITION, Mr. Quay got his amended resolution in the Senate today and it will come up tomorrow under the rules, The fight will then begin. It is hard to estimate how long it will last, but the chances are that it will be short and sharp. The advocates of the election Dill now have very little hope of passing their bill this ses- sion, but they expect to get a caucus tonight in hopes of overcoming Mr. Quay. But the battle appears to be against them, though. QUAY MAY YET BE MADE UNHAPPY. Ona vote in the Senate Mr. Quay will prob- ably not have as strong a following as he ap- peared to have in the caucus on the vote against the Hoar amendment, but he will in all robability have strength enough to carry out the deal he has made with the democrats. The majority in caucus against the House amendment grew out of the fact that all of those Senators who are opposed to any change of the rules, or who doubt the advisability of Passing the election bill, voted on the same side with Mr, Quay, As a matter of fact, Mr. Quay has a very small personal following, but for his own purposes he has TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPOSITION that exists toa change of the rules to jump to the front with his proposition and assume the attitude of a leader.

Racing, Wis., August 18—Charles Cole, a colored man who recently came here from the south, ran amuck on Douglass avenue yester- day, and as a result one man is lying in a dan- gerous condition and two others badly hurt. Cole made his appearance on the avenue armed with a razor, a big stone and followed by an ugly bull dog. He evidently was crazed by liquor. James Smith was walking on the west side of the street and without the least warn- ing Cole, who was on the east side, started to- ward Smith. He lost the razor, but before Smith could realize what the trouble was the darkey struck him with a stone and knecked him senseless. The negro then jumped on the Prostrate man and hammered bim with an- other stone, while the bull dog chewed his legs in a frightful manner. Ex-Justice of the Peace Michaei Shield came along and attempted to assist Smith, whom the negro was murdering, The wild man turned on Shield, who struck and smashed a cane over his head, and he then ran away and secured a piece of board. When | he returned the darkey had attacked a man named Schneider and cut and bruised him about the head. Shicld at once rose: to pound the darkey on e head with the board, but ‘it had no effect, Joseph Morawitz. near whose place the row oc- curred, came ovt, and the darkey struck him with a rock, injuring him internally, shield, Schneider and two other men now waded into the darkey, and after a hard fight overpowered bim and held him down till an officer arrived.

By this time the chief of police and the city marshal arrived on the scene and the wild darkey was landed og so where he fought like a demon and made lesperate attempt to kill Officer Harms with a spittoon, Smith, the man who was struck and pounded with arock, is in bad shape. Spectators state that had it not been for the interference of Mr. Shield Smith would have been pounded to deatb. Schneider's injuries are not dangerous, oe eile THE TWO EMPERORS.
