New York, 1.—Robert Henry, who was sentenced by Judge Benedict, United States court, on Wednesday last to two yeats' imprisonment, cut his throat at about 7 a. M. at Raymond street jail, Brooklyn. Henry was sentenced to Anbury prison, to which place he was to have lDeen taken this morning. When Keeper Shevlin opened Henry's cell door he found him lying in a pool of blood on his cot. By his side was a small penknife. Medical assistance was summoned and bis wound was dressed. The doctors think that he will recove*. Sheriff 8legman says the prisoner when brought down from court was searched. Yesterday a Mr. Kineale and Henry's sister visited the .prisoner were also searched, but no weapon was found on them. Henry says he has had the knife in his shoe since his arrest. The sheriff will cause a thorough investigation of the matter to be made. Henry was convicted of attempting to defraud the government out of « small sum of money by putting in fraudulent claims at the pension department. He was tho guardian for a little niece and nephew, whose father and mother had died two or three yerirs ago. The father of the children, who had been wou-d«d in the army, drew a pension and after his death Henry drew the pension for the children, but it is said they got very little of the tl. iev. The little boy, who became ill, went to Horry's house and asked to be allowed to come la. Henry told him to go away and the boy crawled into tho stable. Next morning the boy *an out and fell upon the sidewalk from exhaustion, He seemed to be suffering from hydrophobia, for wlieu he was offered water he was seised with spasms. He was taken to the County hospital, where he diod, and was buried at the extho expense of the county. Henry put in a claim against the county for the funeral expenses. The story of his treatment of the children then came out and his arrest followed through the complaint of Postmaster McLear.

Washington, Dec. 1.—The sjjeakorsliip ooutest will soon be decided in the democratic caucus, but how it will result is as much of an enigma now aa at any time during the past week. Both of the leading candidates speak coniidently of thoir nomination. Mr. Randall says: "Why, I'm elected." Mr. Caiv lisle says he feels as of his nominrtion on the first ballot ns ho ever felt in regard to any human event, and Mr. Cox says he is still in the field. Sixteen member.' of the New York state delegation met again and by a vote of oleven to five decided to present tho name of Mr. Cox to the caucus and to support him to tho end if the fight narrowed down to Carlisle and Cox. Opjiosite conclusions are reached by friends of Messrs. Randall and Carlisle as to the sigflcance of this aetlon of the New York delegation, both claiming that it is favorable to their candidate. Washin«ton,DCm. J:—It iB authoritatively aimoiiuctxi that tlia grand jury of Ibis district will presort W. T. Fitzgerald for indictment in connection with the pension frauds. " There were six ca,sos beffiro the grand jury, but owing to the fact that the witnesses bad to be brought from a long distance, and that the preparation of the indictments would occupy considerable time, the evidence was withdrawn until the meeting of the next grand jury. Dfetrict Attorney Corkhill will next week preset all of these cases to the new grand jury, whic'i will bo sworn in 011 Tuesday. Col. Dudley, commissioner of pensions, will appear before the new bi;dy on Thursday, aiul although the investigation will then be begun, the delay of a mouth between the interior department and the attorney general's crflice in determining whether a dotail could be made for the district attorney from the pension bureau may prevent the indictment of several agents. The new grand jury will bo in session for (our months. There can be no doubt that the remainder of the men who have been practicing frauds upon soldiers will have an opportunely to explain their transactions before a jury. The thirty days allowed to the offending pension attorneys by Commissioder Dudley to make replies to the charges presented by the pension office have expired. As fast as the cases can be made up, to include tho charges thnt have accumulated during tho past month, they will be sent to Secretary Teller with the recommendation for the disbarment of the firms conc mod. The cast* of Emma H. Gelston & Co., of this city, was received at the interior department, with the indorsement of Col. Dudley that he bad examined the defense presented and found that (Jolston liad failed to make a satisfactory explanation. Ho therefore renewod his former recommendation for disbarment. This is one of the N. W. Fitzgerald combination, occupying rooms in the same building with the rest of tho concerns. Col.tlngersoll will have a hearing on Monday iu the pension office, wlion he will defend N. W. Fltegerald & Co. agaiust a number of grave charges that have been thoroughly examined by Col. Dudley before being presented to the secretary of the interior. These include overcharges in fees, swindling by "(!. O. D." packages, issuing false circulars, and tiling rebel claims. The wise of A. B. Webb has been strengthened by additional charges, and will be acted upon soon. Milo B. Stevens, Belva Lockwood, J. W. Fleuner, Francis Register, and Frank McDonald will all be presented for disbarment, London, Dec. 1.—The anniversary of St. Andrew was thoroughly celebrated in London. There were many banquets, but the most notable one was probably that over which tho Marquis of Lome presided at the htf; of'tkp S.-QtUsh corporation at Crane Ailirt, TOefr strwfc His lordship- miA a-very clever speech, in which he highly eulogized the Dominion of Canada. He referred to his travels through tho west, and the richness and fertility of the soil in unmeasured terms. The present prosperity of tho United States, his recent neighbors, was perhaps the only thing that would convincingly convey to the minds of ftfs hearers any adequate idea of what was ill store for "her majesty's American doiufin. He closed hi a humorous veffl, aad iwrtieularly took credit to himself tor not attempting whiles governor general to annex these weak and defenceless states, New York and Pennsylvania. Between 6 and 7 o'clock Mrs. Marsh went to tho room occupied by Mrs. Ryall and the two children, and asked her how she felt. Mrs. Ryall replied that she was indisposed, and asked for a cup of coffee, which was brought to her. About 11 o'clock Mrs. Marsh went to tho room again but found the door loeked and could get no response from Mrs. Ryall. She saw that there was gas escaping from the room, and becoming alarmed sent for an officer. The officer, when he nrrired, found Mrs. Ryall's door securely locked, and sho refused to open it. He finally effected an entrance into the room by breaking the lock. As the officer entered a horrible scene met his gaze. Standing in the centre of the bedroom was Mrs, Ryall in lier night clothes. Her throat was cut from ear to ear, and the blood, gushing from the wound, had stained Uio entire front of her night dress. Lying on the bed were her tw'o children, both dead. The bed clothes were cov.ered with blood and the room was in disorder. Upon the floor lay a bloody razor with which the deed had been done. Mrs. Ryall was unable to speak, t .e windpipe having been cut, and she wrote with ft pencil the words! "I want to die." William Smith, proprietor of a hotel and livery stable, at No. 41 East Kinzio street, presented the strangest and most ludic rous appearance of any of the orazy people. He has been known as the "insane dude." As bo sat in court he daintily tapped the floor with a light cane. His dress was a brilliant peacock green coat and vest of the latest cut, dark Knickerbockers with light blue bows attached, black yarn stockings and pointed shoes with silver buckles. Mr. Smith scorned to enjoy the situation and tittered audibly at soinu of tho testimony. He thinks he is nexi to God ,and his insanity iias been of seven weeks' duration. It was caused by struck in the head by a stone some years ago. He was sent to Jefferson. Postmaster Sain'i A. Hewitt, Of Monterey, Mich., delivers himself in this wise: "For colds, burns, sore throat and i lieumatism, Thomas' Eclectric Oi'. cannot be Dfatrn.

H. Allen, 315 First Ave., New York •ity. Gen. Roger A. Pryor has become such a prominent figure in London, in connection with the ODonnell trial, that ho is now de riguer placed oi) the list of desirable guests as all public celebrations. He was flooded «HK invitations to attend the Scottish banmefei held in various parts of the city. Throughout the long session of the court ODonnell maintained an air of ease and even jauntiness. He followed the evidenco closely, however, and frequently prompted his counsel during tite crow txaininations. While young Carey was testifying he apparently lost patience for a few moments, but regained his composure when Mr. Charles Au*aell commenced putting his terse and confounding questions. . Jtr. Ruwell completely pulvevteed young Carey, and the evidence which was relied on to a great extent by the crown will probably carry little weight with the jury. Competent judges say that the jury is already very favorably impressed, and that they (MD1 not fai at an surprised at the rendering of a. verdict for manslaughter with a recommendation to mercy, followed by a lenient sentence. The witness Young, who will probably be put on the stand for the de- Svw topDorrow, Is a oar driver from Fort Elizabeth, but at, the time of the shooting was a passenger 011 board the Melrose Castlo, and it is expected that his testimony will show that young Carey told him to run and fetch bis father's revolver. Young did not obey, and he says that young Carey immediately discovered that his father had the weapon in his possession. Should this testimony of Young's stand it Wllltond to destroy "the whole theory of tho -aMense, fend to a great extent confirm the story of the shooting as it has so frequently been told by O'Donnell. The New York delegation adjourned without reaching aay conclusion as to their mode of procodure. A strict injunction of secrecy was placed on the proceedings, but it is known that tho protection and anti- protection elements of the members present were equally divided—ten each. In other words, with Cox out of the field, ten mombers will vote for Randall and ten for Carlisle. Mr. Waldo Hutchins was not present, aud iSr is doubtful if he will be able to attend tho caucus.New Rules I'or tbe Government o the V. S. Senate. Washington, Deo. 1.—The senate committee on rules today tliialiy adopted tliu new rules recently agreed upon by the sub committee. No material clia.iges were made except such as simplify in matters of form and phraseology. A code of joint rules was agreed upon to be submitted to the senate, and if adopted by that body to be submitted to the house for its approval. Among the more important of those proposed joint rules is one meant to prevent general legislation in appropriation bills. Auother deilnes the duties and limits the powers of confercnct oommittees. It provides that they shall not be permitted to amend the text of any bill only upon the subject or thing upon «wliicb there is a disagreement between the two houses. Another joint rule adopted by thC committee provides that during the last ten days of the session in each hou se bnsines.- froin the other house shall have precedence. They also propose a joint rule prohibiting the sale of liquor of any kind in the capito. building or oil the grounds. Everything is being done to save t'no unfortunate woman's life, but tho doctors have no hope of her recovery. She is twenty seven years old and lias been married seven years. The children—both girls—were aged five years and fifteen months respectively. "If it is not determined by the New York delegates to support Mr. Cox,'' said a member of the delegation, "the nomination of Mr. Carlisle is assurjed beyond all doubt." When the action ofr the Hew York delegation became knoWn the betting stopped. The sporting men realized the truth of Mr. Carlisle's prediction last night that the rest of the canvass would be a walk over. There was very little feeling displayed at the Carlisle. headquarters afterwards. Tlioy iiad discounted the action of the New York delegation. The breakdown of this evening is the closing incident in the succession of good fortune for the Carlisle |Deople. But such men as Col. Morrison and Frank Hurd have beeu confident ever since yesterday that they had enough to elect Carlisle easily on the first ballot. CIVIL SERVICE IN THE SOUTH, FRENCH TRADESMEN Sr. Eaton Examines Black, and Who Como to Note the Condition of While Office Seekers. Organized Labor In America. Washington, Dec. 1.—Civil Service Commissioner Eaton has returned to Washington from a trip to North Carolina and (South Carolina, where he has been ltoiding cxaminatsons in order thut the quotas of employes due to those states ill the various departments may be tilled. The first examination held, in North Carolina took place in Raleigh on Nov. 23, and the first in South Carolina was held- in Colombia four days later. In both pluces ladies were among the competitors, and from one fourth to one third of all those who were examined were colored. Mr. Eaton was somewhat curious about the sesult of having blacks and whites compote, and at Raleigh, where the examination was held in the court house, he had a number of tables provided, so that the two races might be separated if they desired. Ho was a good deal surprised when he entered the room to find white men and colored men sitting side by side as if all were of one race. The same was true Of the examination at Columbia. At the latter place one of the competitors was the son of a lawyer who was very prominent before and during the war as a pro-slavery advocate. Beside him •at a black man of about the same age, who was boi-n a slave and who kad educated himself. Each was examined in the five subjects for the higher grade, and were occupied between five and six hours. In two of tho five subjects the negro passed a better examination than his white brother, and the two finished their work within eight minutes of each other. Commissioner Eaton is well pleased with the result of the examinations as a whole. - New York, Dec. 1.—The steamer Saint Germain of the French line arrived at her berth, pier 42, North river, after a tempestuous voyage, during which she broke a portion of her machinery, which delayed her two days. On board were the delegates from a number of trade unions of Paris, who visit this country to study American institutions and note the condition of organized labor here. r *AKlM* POWDER Tho Randall people still insist that Saturday will be their great day. Congressman Lowe, who has been reckoned among Randall's supporters, asserts that he has not yet made up his mind who he shall vote for. Mr. Cox has made a very handsome canvass, and although be has not yet won the prize lie may console himself with the reflection that he was among the first to start the G j om for the man who has. A little episode of the last session is recalled, and which is now set down as one of the earliest public suggestions of Mr. Carlisle's candidacy. One day quite early in the session the house was considering some matter of routine,and business was moving along smoothly, when Mr. Cox wanted to say something. At that moment Speaker Keifer, gavel in hapd, was leaning over the corner of his desk, engaged in earnest conversation with Mr. Carlisle. Cox waited a second or two without securing recognition, and then seeing his opportunity began: "If the speaker of this congress, w%io is now talking with the speaker of the next congress, will give (ue his attention for a—" This remainder of the" sentence did not reach tho reporters' gallery, but was lost in tho applause which greeted the remark, which was much like a cheer for the suggestion.

New York, 1.—Robert Henry, who was sentenced by Judge Benedict, United States court, on Wednesday last to two yeats' imprisonment, cut his throat at about 7 a. M. at Raymond street jail, Brooklyn. Henry was sentenced to Anbury prison, to which place he was to have lDeen taken this morning. When Keeper Shevlin opened Henry's cell door he found him lying in a pool of blood on his cot. By his side was a small penknife. Medical assistance was summoned and bis wound was dressed. The doctors think that he will recove*. Sheriff 8legman says the prisoner when brought down from court was searched. Yesterday a Mr. Kineale and Henry's sister visited the .prisoner were also searched, but no weapon was found on them. Henry says he has had the knife in his shoe since his arrest. The sheriff will cause a thorough investigation of the matter to be made. Henry was convicted of attempting to defraud the government out of « small sum of money by putting in fraudulent claims at the pension department. He was tho guardian for a little niece and nephew, whose father and mother had died two or three yerirs ago. The father of the children, who had been wou-d«d in the army, drew a pension and after his death Henry drew the pension for the children, but it is said they got very little of the tl. iev. The little boy, who became ill, went to Horry's house and asked to be allowed to come la. Henry told him to go away and the boy crawled into tho stable. Next morning the boy *an out and fell upon the sidewalk from exhaustion, He seemed to be suffering from hydrophobia, for wlieu he was offered water he was seised with spasms. He was taken to the County hospital, where he diod, and was buried at the extho expense of the county. Henry put in a claim against the county for the funeral expenses. The story of his treatment of the children then came out and his arrest followed through the complaint of Postmaster McLear.

Washington, Dec. 1.—The sjjeakorsliip ooutest will soon be decided in the democratic caucus, but how it will result is as much of an enigma now aa at any time during the past week. Both of the leading candidates speak coniidently of thoir nomination. Mr. Randall says: "Why, I'm elected." Mr. Caiv lisle says he feels as of his nominrtion on the first ballot ns ho ever felt in regard to any human event, and Mr. Cox says he is still in the field. Sixteen member.' of the New York state delegation met again and by a vote of oleven to five decided to present tho name of Mr. Cox to the caucus and to support him to tho end if the fight narrowed down to Carlisle and Cox. Opjiosite conclusions are reached by friends of Messrs. Randall and Carlisle as to the sigflcance of this aetlon of the New York delegation, both claiming that it is favorable to their candidate. Washin«ton,DCm. J:—It iB authoritatively aimoiiuctxi that tlia grand jury of Ibis district will presort W. T. Fitzgerald for indictment in connection with the pension frauds. " There were six ca,sos beffiro the grand jury, but owing to the fact that the witnesses bad to be brought from a long distance, and that the preparation of the indictments would occupy considerable time, the evidence was withdrawn until the meeting of the next grand jury. Dfetrict Attorney Corkhill will next week preset all of these cases to the new grand jury, whic'i will bo sworn in 011 Tuesday. Col. Dudley, commissioner of pensions, will appear before the new bi;dy on Thursday, aiul although the investigation will then be begun, the delay of a mouth between the interior department and the attorney general's crflice in determining whether a dotail could be made for the district attorney from the pension bureau may prevent the indictment of several agents. The new grand jury will bo in session for (our months. There can be no doubt that the remainder of the men who have been practicing frauds upon soldiers will have an opportunely to explain their transactions before a jury. The thirty days allowed to the offending pension attorneys by Commissioder Dudley to make replies to the charges presented by the pension office have expired. As fast as the cases can be made up, to include tho charges thnt have accumulated during tho past month, they will be sent to Secretary Teller with the recommendation for the disbarment of the firms conc mod. The cast* of Emma H. Gelston & Co., of this city, was received at the interior department, with the indorsement of Col. Dudley that he bad examined the defense presented and found that (Jolston liad failed to make a satisfactory explanation. Ho therefore renewod his former recommendation for disbarment. This is one of the N. W. Fitzgerald combination, occupying rooms in the same building with the rest of tho concerns. Col.tlngersoll will have a hearing on Monday iu the pension office, wlion he will defend N. W. Fltegerald & Co. agaiust a number of grave charges that have been thoroughly examined by Col. Dudley before being presented to the secretary of the interior. These include overcharges in fees, swindling by "(!. O. D." packages, issuing false circulars, and tiling rebel claims. The wise of A. B. Webb has been strengthened by additional charges, and will be acted upon soon. Milo B. Stevens, Belva Lockwood, J. W. Fleuner, Francis Register, and Frank McDonald will all be presented for disbarment, London, Dec. 1.—The anniversary of St. Andrew was thoroughly celebrated in London. There were many banquets, but the most notable one was probably that over which tho Marquis of Lome presided at the htf; of'tkp S.-QtUsh corporation at Crane Ailirt, TOefr strwfc His lordship- miA a-very clever speech, in which he highly eulogized the Dominion of Canada. He referred to his travels through tho west, and the richness and fertility of the soil in unmeasured terms. The present prosperity of tho United States, his recent neighbors, was perhaps the only thing that would convincingly convey to the minds of ftfs hearers any adequate idea of what was ill store for "her majesty's American doiufin. He closed hi a humorous veffl, aad iwrtieularly took credit to himself tor not attempting whiles governor general to annex these weak and defenceless states, New York and Pennsylvania. Between 6 and 7 o'clock Mrs. Marsh went to tho room occupied by Mrs. Ryall and the two children, and asked her how she felt. Mrs. Ryall replied that she was indisposed, and asked for a cup of coffee, which was brought to her. About 11 o'clock Mrs. Marsh went to tho room again but found the door loeked and could get no response from Mrs. Ryall. She saw that there was gas escaping from the room, and becoming alarmed sent for an officer. The officer, when he nrrired, found Mrs. Ryall's door securely locked, and sho refused to open it. He finally effected an entrance into the room by breaking the lock. As the officer entered a horrible scene met his gaze. Standing in the centre of the bedroom was Mrs, Ryall in lier night clothes. Her throat was cut from ear to ear, and the blood, gushing from the wound, had stained Uio entire front of her night dress. Lying on the bed were her tw'o children, both dead. The bed clothes were cov.ered with blood and the room was in disorder. Upon the floor lay a bloody razor with which the deed had been done. Mrs. Ryall was unable to speak, t .e windpipe having been cut, and she wrote with ft pencil the words! "I want to die." William Smith, proprietor of a hotel and livery stable, at No. 41 East Kinzio street, presented the strangest and most ludic rous appearance of any of the orazy people. He has been known as the "insane dude." As bo sat in court he daintily tapped the floor with a light cane. His dress was a brilliant peacock green coat and vest of the latest cut, dark Knickerbockers with light blue bows attached, black yarn stockings and pointed shoes with silver buckles. Mr. Smith scorned to enjoy the situation and tittered audibly at soinu of tho testimony. He thinks he is nexi to God ,and his insanity iias been of seven weeks' duration. It was caused by struck in the head by a stone some years ago. He was sent to Jefferson. Postmaster Sain'i A. Hewitt, Of Monterey, Mich., delivers himself in this wise: "For colds, burns, sore throat and i lieumatism, Thomas' Eclectric Oi'. cannot be Dfatrn.

H. Allen, 315 First Ave., New York •ity. Gen. Roger A. Pryor has become such a prominent figure in London, in connection with the ODonnell trial, that ho is now de riguer placed oi) the list of desirable guests as all public celebrations. He was flooded «HK invitations to attend the Scottish banmefei held in various parts of the city. Throughout the long session of the court ODonnell maintained an air of ease and even jauntiness. He followed the evidenco closely, however, and frequently prompted his counsel during tite crow txaininations. While young Carey was testifying he apparently lost patience for a few moments, but regained his composure when Mr. Charles Au*aell commenced putting his terse and confounding questions. . Jtr. Ruwell completely pulvevteed young Carey, and the evidence which was relied on to a great extent by the crown will probably carry little weight with the jury. Competent judges say that the jury is already very favorably impressed, and that they (MD1 not fai at an surprised at the rendering of a. verdict for manslaughter with a recommendation to mercy, followed by a lenient sentence. The witness Young, who will probably be put on the stand for the de- Svw topDorrow, Is a oar driver from Fort Elizabeth, but at, the time of the shooting was a passenger 011 board the Melrose Castlo, and it is expected that his testimony will show that young Carey told him to run and fetch bis father's revolver. Young did not obey, and he says that young Carey immediately discovered that his father had the weapon in his possession. Should this testimony of Young's stand it Wllltond to destroy "the whole theory of tho -aMense, fend to a great extent confirm the story of the shooting as it has so frequently been told by O'Donnell. The New York delegation adjourned without reaching aay conclusion as to their mode of procodure. A strict injunction of secrecy was placed on the proceedings, but it is known that tho protection and anti- protection elements of the members present were equally divided—ten each. In other words, with Cox out of the field, ten mombers will vote for Randall and ten for Carlisle. Mr. Waldo Hutchins was not present, aud iSr is doubtful if he will be able to attend tho caucus.New Rules I'or tbe Government o the V. S. Senate. Washington, Deo. 1.—The senate committee on rules today tliialiy adopted tliu new rules recently agreed upon by the sub committee. No material clia.iges were made except such as simplify in matters of form and phraseology. A code of joint rules was agreed upon to be submitted to the senate, and if adopted by that body to be submitted to the house for its approval. Among the more important of those proposed joint rules is one meant to prevent general legislation in appropriation bills. Auother deilnes the duties and limits the powers of confercnct oommittees. It provides that they shall not be permitted to amend the text of any bill only upon the subject or thing upon «wliicb there is a disagreement between the two houses. Another joint rule adopted by thC committee provides that during the last ten days of the session in each hou se bnsines.- froin the other house shall have precedence. They also propose a joint rule prohibiting the sale of liquor of any kind in the capito. building or oil the grounds. Everything is being done to save t'no unfortunate woman's life, but tho doctors have no hope of her recovery. She is twenty seven years old and lias been married seven years. The children—both girls—were aged five years and fifteen months respectively. "If it is not determined by the New York delegates to support Mr. Cox,'' said a member of the delegation, "the nomination of Mr. Carlisle is assurjed beyond all doubt." When the action ofr the Hew York delegation became knoWn the betting stopped. The sporting men realized the truth of Mr. Carlisle's prediction last night that the rest of the canvass would be a walk over. There was very little feeling displayed at the Carlisle. headquarters afterwards. Tlioy iiad discounted the action of the New York delegation. The breakdown of this evening is the closing incident in the succession of good fortune for the Carlisle |Deople. But such men as Col. Morrison and Frank Hurd have beeu confident ever since yesterday that they had enough to elect Carlisle easily on the first ballot. CIVIL SERVICE IN THE SOUTH, FRENCH TRADESMEN Sr. Eaton Examines Black, and Who Como to Note the Condition of While Office Seekers. Organized Labor In America. Washington, Dec. 1.—Civil Service Commissioner Eaton has returned to Washington from a trip to North Carolina and (South Carolina, where he has been ltoiding cxaminatsons in order thut the quotas of employes due to those states ill the various departments may be tilled. The first examination held, in North Carolina took place in Raleigh on Nov. 23, and the first in South Carolina was held- in Colombia four days later. In both pluces ladies were among the competitors, and from one fourth to one third of all those who were examined were colored. Mr. Eaton was somewhat curious about the sesult of having blacks and whites compote, and at Raleigh, where the examination was held in the court house, he had a number of tables provided, so that the two races might be separated if they desired. Ho was a good deal surprised when he entered the room to find white men and colored men sitting side by side as if all were of one race. The same was true Of the examination at Columbia. At the latter place one of the competitors was the son of a lawyer who was very prominent before and during the war as a pro-slavery advocate. Beside him •at a black man of about the same age, who was boi-n a slave and who kad educated himself. Each was examined in the five subjects for the higher grade, and were occupied between five and six hours. In two of tho five subjects the negro passed a better examination than his white brother, and the two finished their work within eight minutes of each other. Commissioner Eaton is well pleased with the result of the examinations as a whole. - New York, Dec. 1.—The steamer Saint Germain of the French line arrived at her berth, pier 42, North river, after a tempestuous voyage, during which she broke a portion of her machinery, which delayed her two days. On board were the delegates from a number of trade unions of Paris, who visit this country to study American institutions and note the condition of organized labor here. r *AKlM* POWDER Tho Randall people still insist that Saturday will be their great day. Congressman Lowe, who has been reckoned among Randall's supporters, asserts that he has not yet made up his mind who he shall vote for. Mr. Cox has made a very handsome canvass, and although be has not yet won the prize lie may console himself with the reflection that he was among the first to start the G j om for the man who has. A little episode of the last session is recalled, and which is now set down as one of the earliest public suggestions of Mr. Carlisle's candidacy. One day quite early in the session the house was considering some matter of routine,and business was moving along smoothly, when Mr. Cox wanted to say something. At that moment Speaker Keifer, gavel in hapd, was leaning over the corner of his desk, engaged in earnest conversation with Mr. Carlisle. Cox waited a second or two without securing recognition, and then seeing his opportunity began: "If the speaker of this congress, w%io is now talking with the speaker of the next congress, will give (ue his attention for a—" This remainder of the" sentence did not reach tho reporters' gallery, but was lost in tho applause which greeted the remark, which was much like a cheer for the suggestion. The names of the delegges and the trades they represent are as follows: Balm, painter; St. Martine, blacksmith; Caqielinat, bronze; Herbinet, draughtsman; Rieilel, shoemaker; Bagueris, upholsterer; Vaahove, furniture; DWassalle, carriages; Ribanier, tinware; CambomoroH, builder; Brebant, optician; Letailleur, blacksmith; Dumay, machinist, and Keuffer, typography.
