Mr. Van Wyck insisted that his pre- amble was correct, and in the courso of the debate referred to the opinions of Attorney General Devens and Justice Harlan on the same subject. He criti cised the opinions as well as the practice of the general land office for following the law, as laid 'down by those opinions rather than by the supreme court of the clerk from Omaha to Ogden.

Some doubt is expressed, liowever, as to the appointment ot Ander- son, (of Kansas). One or two though, known to be sclected, assert that he should be chosen because from the same state as Haskell, who would have been a member had he lived.

Another friend tore Sarah’s picture from the wall, exe- cuted a fantastic dance on it rting it had been desecrated by propiniquity to Marie's portrait, The appearance of Bernhardt at the theater, to take past in the rehearsal of the new play, “Nana Sahib,” occasioned great comment. Her friends gave many ovidences of sympathy. The coolness of her acting after the real drama in which she played **leading lady” was the theme of considerable applause. The general opinion is that the offair will have its se- quel in the law courts. Jehan Soudan, on behalf of Columbier, has challenged M. Richepin, one of Bernhardt's friends, to fight a duel. Both men were present at the fracas. Richepin has declined the challenge. Souden consequently pub- lished the following notice to-day: 1 have found Richepin a coward in. the presence of women, and have found him. & coward with men. This is logical.” worn several days, and finding no blood stains on them. During the afternoon of the day the sheriff took the prisoners to the jail, Clements and Pettis were in a cell, and Montgomery was out looking fora bondsman. They were taken to the jail in the morning, and not put in a cell till noon, This offsets the convict Myer’s testimony, ' who swore the pris- oners had a consultation in the jail in the morning. Charley Masters, 9 years old, testified to being the only scholar at school, and to playing about the coal house at recess and noontime. He saw the Montgom- erys, father and son, during the recess, going along the road past the school house. Witness said: ¢John asked me why I wasn’t playing with the school children. I said there wasn't any. He said, ‘well, wait and I'll come back and wrostlo with you.” When Miss Bond came back we went in the school house. 1 told her there was a noise in the loft, and said I thought it was made by|N tramps, She said, ‘no, its rats.’ The day, and Wood seconded the motion. (Applause.) He urged the importance of going to the foot of the throne wherealonejustice may be obtained, and pointed out that the in- terests of the peoplo of the: eastern pro- vinces were totally opposed to ours. We could not expect justice from them, and it was no use to go to Ottawa, where the govornment was controlled by the Cana- dian Pacific railway. Colonel Atwood prophesied the time would come when all present would be- lieve as he did, That the occasion had arrived for a new cenfedoracy, a confed- eracy extending from Lake Superior to the Pacific ocean. [Applause.] Brandon recalled the secession cry of a fow years ago in British Columbia, which resulted in that province getting better terms. He did not think we should plead for our own public lands, they are ours, we should demand them. After a number of speeches of a some- what similar character to the above, the original motion was carried. The union is still in session to-night. dition of the spirts of the French troops are excellent. To-day we commence the attack on Sontay.” TERMS OF PEACE, It is understood Marquis Tseng pro- potes to France the following fresh basis or sottlement of the Tonquin question: The Delta of the Red river with the city of Sontay to belong to France. The Delta of Song Oau river and Bacninh to belong to China. The northern and western provinces of Tonquin to be neu- tral, China to renounce her suezrainty of the kingdom of Annam. MORE CREDIT GIVEN, In thesenate to-day a supplementary credit bill for 9,000,000 francs for the Tonquin expedition was adopted 211 to 7. Subsequently the Tonquin credit bill of 200,000,000 francs was also ado adop- ted 216 to 6.

Marvellous things have taken place in the supreme court, as well as in the land department of the government, in reference to public lands.

There was abundant evidence of that in his (Allison’s) state and in the sufferings of the people by the deprivation of their property. Millions of acres ‘of "the public domain had been given railroads, Mr. Van Wyck said, be- tore the supreme court decision referred to the fact, which they are not entitled to under the decision, and although fora| are “still prominently spoken of for the time the general land office followed that | position. ~Blount says he is entitled to it decision, it finally followed the opinion |as he was the first democrat on of Attorney General Devens and Justice | the committee of the last congress.

A FEARFUL SMASH, 118G, December 20.—A passen- ger train on the Baltimore & Ohio, from Chicago for Baltimore, which left this city this morning had several cars and the two engines jump the track at Bel- ton while going forty-fiva miles an hour, The mail car was thrown completely over and all the cars were on their sides but the sleeper.

The funcral services were held in the Congregational church of which Mr, Haskell was an ac- tive member. Hon.
