Morgan is said to bave left his work shortly tfter 10 o'clock to go home and later on was seen in several business places. Those who saw him say that he was not at all intoxicated. It was feared that in the darkness he may bave been accidentally drowned aod the canal bas been thoroughly dragged but no traoe of him can be found.

He was said to have shown quite a sum of money in one of tbe places he vis-ted before he started for home and it is thought by some that he may have been foully dealt with.

That night, or the next, I went with some friends to this concert hall, and, sure enough, about 10 o'clock out came a performer the very imaje of Tumblety. In a miuu a dog, that did not resemble the 'doctor's, sprang from tha auditorium upon the stage and followed the strutting figure.

The longer I examined tha figure the greater became my surprise at tha perfection of tha make-up. Before I reached my hotel I began, in common with my companions, to suspect that the figure was no other than Tumblety himself. The next day the lieutenant-colonel told the 'doctor' our suspicious. The fellow appeared grearly hurt. He at once instituted an action against tha proprietor of the hall for libel.

The action was another sham, and three or four nights afterwards the 'doctor was completely unmusked. When the song was under way a powerful man suddenly sprang from the auditorium to the stage, exclaiming at the figure: See here, you infernal scoundrel. Dr. Tumblety is my friend, and I won'tsea him insulted by such an effigy as you are. Come, off with that false mustache and duds, and quick as a flash ha seized the doctor's hirsute appendage and pulled it for all it would stand, threw bis cap among the audience and otherwise showed the fellow up.

The 'doctor, though a powerful man, made no struggle except to get behind the sceues as soon as possible. Tumblety 's book contains, as subscribers to testimonials to his rlgh social standing and medical skill in Canada, the names of some ot the best-known people in the Dominion and elsewhere. Evidently the testimonials ara bogus. The book wa? doubtless intended for distribution among persons who would never suspect or discover the fraud, and there was little or no danger of its reaching any of the parties who3e names accompanied the lying commendations. Turn lety, I am sure, would rather have lost $1,000 than that a copy should have fallen into my bands.

I obtained it in this way Meeting him one day in Brooklyn, near his office, he urged me to go in lor a chat. As I was standing by his desk, about to leave, I voluntarily picked up the book and, while I was yet talking, mechanically turned over the leaves. The name of a friend having suddenly caught my eye and aroused my curiosity, I aske i the doctor to let me take the book. This he good-naturedly objected to, making various excuses for refusing. however, insisted, and when he found me in dead earnest he reluctantly yielded.

AS A BOY IN ROCHESTER. Captain W. C. Streoter, an old resident of Rochester, N. Y.

ia quite sure that Tumblety is a native of that city. Captain Streeter is now the owner of a fine canal-boat that plies between this city and Buffalo, but in his youth lived in, Itochester. A World reporter boarded bis boat at pier 5, East River, yesterday, aud found the Captain in his snug cabin surrounded by his wife, daughter aud sen. The first recollection I hava of him, said the Captain, is along about 1S48. I should judge he was then somhthing like 15 years old and bis name was Frank Tumblety.

I don't know when he changed it to 'lwom-blety. He was selling bouks and papers on the packets and was in the habit of boarding my boat a short distance from town. The book he sold were largely of the kind Anthony Cumstock surpresses now. His father was an Irishman and lived on the common south of the city on what was then known as Sophia street, but is now Plymouth Avenue and is about a aaile from the center of the city. There were but few houses there tutu and the Tumblety 's had no near neighbors.

I don't remember what the father did. There were two boyi (jlder than Frank and one of them worked "ti3 a steward for Dr. Fitzhugb, then a prominent physician. Fruns continued to sell papers until 1850, I thin and then disappeared, and I did not see him again for ten years, when he returned to Rochester as a great pbysiciu and soon became the wonder' of the city. He wore a light fur overcoat that reached to his leet and had a dark collar and culls, aud he was always followed by a big greyhound.

When a boy he bad no associates, and when he returned ha was more exclusive and solitary than ever. I don' remember ever having seen him in compauy with another person iu his walks. When 1 met him on his return, having known him quite well as a boy, I said, 'Hrllo, Frank, how d'ye and he merely replied, Hello Streeter, and passed on. He had become very aristocratic during his absence. The papers had a great deal to say about him, and he created quite a sensation by giving barrels of flour and other provisions to poor people.

Afterwards he went to Lutfulo and did likewise, and I understand he visited other cities. I think Frank was born in Rochester. He had no foreign accent when i first met him, and I understood at the time that be was Rochester boy. I remember after he becamo famous his two brothers quarrelled because each imagined the other was thought more of by the doctor. I have not heard anything about him for fifteen years, as I moved away from Rochester.

He was about live feet ten inches high, of rather slight build, and fine-looking, but evidently avoided society. I thought then that his mind had been affected by those books ha sold, and am not at all surprised to hear his name mentioned in connect.on with the Whitechapel murders. TUMBLETY GREW VP L.IEE A WEED OS THE CANAL. BANK AT ROCHESTER. Washington', Dec.

1. Mr. Edward Haywood, ot the Bureau of Accounts in tha Slate Department, has known Tumbiety since boyhood, and when it was first mentioned in the newspapers that there were su-picions connecting Tumblety with the Whitechapel murders Mr. Haywood immediately said that the theory was quite tenable. "I am in my fifty-second year," said Mr.

Haywood to a World correspondent today, and I fancy Frank Tumblety must be two or three years older. I remember him very well when he used to run about the canal in Rochester, IS. Y. a dirty, awkward, ignorant, uncared-for, good-for-nothing boy. He was utterly devoid of education.

He lived with his brother, who was my uncle's gardener. About lis55 I went West. Tumblety turned up in Detroit as a The only training he ever had for the medical profession was in a little drug store at the baok of the Arcade, which was kept by a Doctor Lispenard, who carried on a medical business of a disreputable kind. A few years later I saw him here in Wa hington and he was putting on groat styla. He wore a military fatigue costume and told me he was on General McClellan's staff.

Lieutenant Larry Su.livan. who belonged to a Rochester regiment, came up to him one day. He tried to palm the same tale off upon Sullivan, but the latter being perfectly familiar with "McClellan's staff, told the imposter plainly just how great a liar he was- During the war and for some lime after Tumblety remained in Washington and played the 'doctor 'as he had done in Detroit. He got up soma sort of a patent medicine, and at oue lime the walls were covered with large posters advertising the virtues of the Tumblety Pimple Destroyer. He must have made money, for he was able to spend plenty and live in tha most extravagant elegance.

'Knowing him as I do I should sot be the least surprised if ha turned out to be Jack the Ripper. lawyer who lives near Fairview, N. J. intimately acquainted with Twomblety for many years, and, in his own mind, had long connected him with the Wbitechapel horrors. 'The man's real name, said the lawyer, 'is Tumblety, with Francis for a Christian name.

I have here a book published by him a number of years ao, describing some of his strange adventures and wonderful cures, ail lies, of course, in which the name Francis Tumblety, M. D. appears When, to my knowledge of tha man's history, his idiosyncrasies, bis revolting practices, his autipathy to women, and especially to fallen women, his anatomical museum, coutaiuing many specimens like those carved from the Whitachapel victims when, to my knowledge on these subjects, there is added the fact of his arrest on suspicion of eiog the murderer, there appears to me nothing improvable in the suggestion that Tumblety is the culprit. He is not a doctor. A more arrant cbariatan and quack never fastened on the hopes and fears of afflicted humanity.

I first made the fellow's acquaintance a few days after the battle of Bull Run. Although a very young man at the time I held a colonel's commission in the army, and was at the capital on official business. The city was full of strangers. 90 per cent, of them military men, All the Crst-class hotels resembled beehives. Among them were many fine-looking and many peculiar-looking men, but of the thousands there was not one that attracted half as much attention as Tumblety.

A Titan in stature, with a very red face and long flowing mustache, he would have been a noticeable personage in any place and in any garb. But, decked in a richly embroidered coat or jacket, with a medal held by a gay ribbon on each breast, a semi-military cap with a high peak, cavalry trousers with the brightest of yellow stripes, riding oots and spurs fit for a show window, a dignified and rather stagy gait and manner, he was as unique a figure as could be found anywhere in real When followed, as he generally was, by a valet and two great dogs, he was no doubt the envy of many hearts. The fellow was everywhere. I never saw anything so nearly approaching ubiquity. Go where you would, to any of the hotels, to the war department or the navy yard, you were sure to find the 'doc or.

He had no business in either place, but he went there to impress the officers whom he would meet. He professed to have an extensive experience in European hospitals and armies, and claimed to have diplomas from the foremost medical colleges of the Old World and the New. He bad he declared, after much persuasion accepted the commission of brigade surgeon at a great sacrifice pecuniarily but, with great complacency, he always added that, fortuuately for his private patients, his official duties would not, for a considerable time, take him away from the city. WHY HE HATED WOUES. 'At length it was whispered about that he was an adventurer.

One day my lieutenant-colonel and myself accepted the the 'doctor's' invitation to a lats dinner symposium, he called it at his rooms. He had very cosy and tastefully arranged quarters in, 1 beiieve, H. street. There were three rooms on a floor, the rear one boing his office, w.th a bedroom or two a story higher. On reaching the place we found covers laid for eight that being the 'doctor's lucky num er, te said several of the guests, all in the military service, were persons with whom we were already acquaint- eu.

It was scon apparent that whatever Tumblaty 's deflr cies as a surgeon, as an amphitryon he could not ea-ily excelled. His menu, with colored waiters and the et cetera, was furnished by one of the best caterers "in the city. After dinner there were out two ttbles for liy ror okt-r or whist. In the course of the evening scm9 of the party, warmed by the wine, proposed to piay for heavy stakes, but Tumblety frowned down the proposition at once and in such a way as to show he was no gambler. Some one at-ked why he had not invited some women to i dinner.

His face instantly became as black a3 a thunder cloud. He had a pack of cards in his hand, but be laid them down and said, almost savagely 'No, Colonel, I don' kuow any such cattla, and ii I did 1 would, as yonr friend, sooner give you a dose of quick po son than take you into such danger. He then broke into a homily on the sin and folly of dissipation, fiercely denounced all women and especially fallen women. 'Then he Invited us Into his office where he illustrated his lecture, so to speak. One Bide of this room was en-irely occupied with cases, outwardly resembling wardrobes, when the doors were opened quite a museum was revealed tiers of shelves w.th glass jars and cases, some round and others square, filled with all Boris os antomical specimens.

The 'doctor' placed on a tabla a dozen or more jars containing, as he said, the matrices of every class of women. Hearly a half of one of these cases was occupied exclusively with specimens. THE STOEY OF HIS LIFE. Not long after this the doctor was in my room when my lieutenant-colonel came in and commenced expatiating on the charms of a certain woman. In a moment, almost, the doctor was lecturing him and denouncing women.

When he was asked why he hated women, he said that when quite a young man he fell desperately in love with a pretty girl, rather his senior, who promised to reciprocate his affection. After a brief courtship he married her. The honeymoon was not over when he noticed a disposition on the part of his wife to ilirt w.th other men. He remonstrated, she kissed him, called him a dear, jealous fool and he believed her. Happening one day to pass in a cab through the worst part of the town he saw his wife and a man entar a gloomy-looking bouse.

Then he learned that before her marriage his wife had been an inmate of that and many similar houses. Then he gave up all womankind. Shortly after telling this story tha doctor's real character became known and he slipped away to St. Louis, where he was arrested for wearing the uniform of an army surgeon. Colonel Dunham was asked whether there was any truth in the statement of a city paper that Harrold, who was hanged as one of Booth's confederates in the assassination of Lincoln, was at one time the doctor's' valet.

The reply was that it was not true. The gentleman added that ha could speak positively on the subject, as be knew the valet well. Colonel Dunham also said that Tumblety had not been arrested on suspicion of having guilty knowledge of the assassination conspiracy. He was arrested in St. Louis, said the Coionel, 'on suspicion of being Luke F.

Blackburn, lately governor of Kentucky, who bad been falsely charged with tryiDg to introduce fever into the northern citLs by means of infected rags. It is perfectly clear that. Tumblety purposely brought about his own arrest by sending anonymous letters to the federal authorities to the effect that Blackburn and himself were identical. His object, of course, was notoriety. He knew he was too well known in Washington, whither he felt certain be would bo sent, to be kept long in custody.

TJXMASKED OX THE STAGE. Tumbloty would do almost anything under heaven for notoriety, and although his notoriety iu Washington was of a knd to turn people from him, it brought some to him. Let me tell vou of one of his schemes. At that time there was a free or it may bave been a 10-ceut concert saloon known as the Cmtebury Music hall. The performance embraced music, dances, farces, etc.

One day Tumblety told me, apparently ia great distress, that the management of the Oante' ury Hall had teen burlesquing him on the stage. An actor, he said, was made up in minute imitation of himself, and strutted about (bo itaga with, two dog 44k4.kava4ee An Imposing' Demonstration by Frenchmen Foreign News. the r-ARis, Dec. 2. A host of sightseers gathered around tha Baudin monument at the entrance of the Mont Martre cemetery this morning.

Delegates from the deputies union of the Left and the Republican Union, and from the Republican Left of the Senate, not wishing to take part in the municipal procession, arrived in separate groups aud placed wreaths at the foot of the monument. The municipal parade started from the Hotel de Ville at 1:15 P. M. and slowly proceeded through tha streets, reaching the cemetery at 3 The police stopped all carriage traffic along the route at noon, and as far as possit'le, formed a cordon in order to keep back the crowd. No incident occurred that impeded the march of the paraders.

On passing the Northern railway station there were cries of "Vive la Iiepubiique mingled with hissing. On the Boulevard Magenta, a man whu tried to break through the line of paraders was arrested. The procession in point of numbers was a failure, the number ot those in line being variously estimated at from 30, 000 to 40, UG0. Half of those taking part were delegates from tha provinces. Thtt spectators were mostly sightseers, making no display of political feeling.

At the corner of tha Boulevard the students' delegation, which was greated with cries of Vira la Republique respondad with "A bas Boulauger A trophy of the journal La Lanserne evoked shouts of "Down with the Jews. The appearance ot a group composed of poisons personated in the coup d' etat of 1851, or wounded in the revolution of 1848, everywhere elicited fervent cheers. The first portion of the proci ssion. presented an orderly and dignified appeal ence but the latter part was disorganized, owing to pressure of crowds following, which consisted mainly of the rabble and which sang the 'Marseillaise' and the 'Carmagnole. A number of women joined the ranks in the heart of the city.

This detracted from the serious appearance of the procession, and the crowd was afterwards inclined to make the demonstration a matter for jest, laughing and jeering at the delegates. Some of the delegates were annoyed by the jeers of the spectators and falling out of the ranks, dis appeared into the crowd. On arriving at thn monument, M. Dalot, president of the municipal council, delivered an oration. He said that the object of the demonstration was to commemorate Bauden intrepid defense of the republic's rights against Csesurism, and to honor those who had been proscribed or had fallen at the time of the coup d' etat.

After a vigorous at tack upon Boulangism, he said: The democracy, acquiring renewed strength in the example of the glorious dead, is prepared to face Ca'sariam, which is again daring to raise its head. Comforted by the noble memories of the past, let us unite with confidence. The speech was received with cries of "Vive la Republique" and prolonged cheers. There were ni dissenting cries. The procession filed past the monument and then returned singing the marseillaise.

In tha even.ng the city resumed its normal aspect. The Boulanzist commission, iti its manifesto, declares that although it refrains from the Kaud demonstration, it venerates the memory of Baudiu. It urges citizens to withstand the provocation of the government, which is seeking a chance to create in Paris another 2nd or December. On the return of the' procession to the quartier latin, a crowd of students attacked two omnibuses filled with Boulangists. The horses became frightened and one veh els was backed into a shop in the Quai Voltaire.

A serious scuttle followed, and tho police were compelled to interfere. Banquet to Boulanger. Paris, Dec. 2. General Boulanger arrived at Norvers this morning.

He was greeted by an orderly crowd. Policemen prevented access to his hotel to all except those provided with tickets for the banquet, thus preventing the proposed public reception. Deputy Laporte had tried in vain to induce the prefect to allow a reception. A Bonlargist manefesto protesting against the prefect's action, signed by various deputies, has been posted throughout the town. At a banquet in the evening there were 500 guests.

General Boulanger was loud.y cheered. Simultaneously an anti-Boulanger meeting was held in the theatre, at wlii-h Deputies Basly and Brialon denounced Boulanger as a traitor and a plagiarist of Napoleon. General Boulanger, in a speech at the banquet said that the situation now was just as disgraceful as it was in 1851. Tuev must, however, go back to 17S9 to find a parallel. The same necessities existed at home, and there was the same need for organizing for national defence.

He repeated bis former arguments in favor of a revision of the constitution, etc. The European Money Market. Paris, Dec. 2.

Loxdox, Dec 1. The last seen of Dr. Tumblety was at Havre, and it is taken for granted that be baa sailed for Kew York. It will be remembered that the doctor, who is known in this country for bis eccentricities, was arr sted some time ago in London on suspicion of being concerned, in the perpetration of the Wunechapel murders. The police, being unab.e to procure the necessary evidence against him in connection therewith, decided to hold him for trial for another olfenss against a statute which was passed shortly alter the publication in the rati Mall Gazette of ihe ilaiden Tribute, aud as a direct consequence thereof Dr.

Tumblety was committed for trial and liberated ou bail, two gentlemen coming forward to act aa bondsmen in the amount of On being bunted up by the police to-day, they asserted that they bad only kuown the doctor for a few days previous to his arrest. TCMBLETT'S CAREER. A London detective wishing to get Information about the man now under arrest for complicity in some way with the White-chapel Crimea has only to go to any large city tbt world over, describe the curious garb and manners of Francis Tumblety, M. D. aud he can gather fact and surmises to almost any extent.

In London he calls hiaiaslf Twomb.ety. In this city there are scores nil know him, and not oua has a kind word to say for the strange creature, but lrom those moet intimate come rumors, reports and positive assertions of the practices of the rxiau. lu this city he had a little experience with the law, and this euabled th lawyers to worm out something of his his history. Wiiiiam P. Burr, of No.

H20 Broadway, speaking of the man yesterday, said: 'I met him iu July, 1SS0. Us brought a suit against a Mrs. Lyons, charging her vt i.h the larceny of $7, 000 worth of bonds, and I was retained to defend her. It seem) that several years before he met the son of Mrs. Lyons while walking on the Buttery.

The lad had just come from college and was a line looiiug young man. lie was out of employment. Tumblety greeted him an i Buon had him under complete control. lie made him a sort of secretary in the management of his bonds, of which be had about flUO, 000 worth, mostly in governments, locked up in a downtown safe-deposit company. He employed the youth as an amanuensis, as be personally was most illiterate.

On April 23, 187s, the Doctor, as be was called, started lor by ti Guion line steamer Montana. iSee, here is his name on the passenger-list, Dr. Tumbleiy. He gave a p-jwer of attorney to the jouDg man, and under that some South Cai oliua railroad bonds were disposed of, aa it was claimed and shown, under an agreement that tbey were to be taken as compensation. When Tumblety got tack the young man had disappeared and the mother was arrested, charged by the Lo2tor with haYing taken the bonds.

I remember the examination to which I subjected at the Xtrxibs fol ca Cou.t. James D. ilcCielland was bis lawyer, and I went into history of the doctor's life. 1 remember well how indignant he became wh I asked him what institution had the honor of graduating so precious a pupil. He re.

used to answer, and was told the only reason which he could refuse was that the answer would tend to humilate or criminate him. He still refused to answer, and I thought he would spring at ma to strike. There was quite a commotion in court. The case fell through and the old lady was not held. The son returned and brought a suit against the doctor, charging atrcious assault, a id the evidence collected in this case was of the most disgusting sort.

The lawyer who Lad the matter in hand is now dead, but I remember that there was a page of the Folice Gazette as one exhibit, in which the portrait ot the doctor appeared, with several columns of biography about him. This suit was not pushed, and then came another suit brought by Tumblety against William f. O'Connor, a broker, for disposing of the bonds. Boardman Boardcuan, defended and gathered up a great mass of evidence against the doctor, Charles Frost and Charles Chambers, detectives of Brooklyn, had evidence against him. At this time be kept an herbslore, or something of that sort, at No.

77 EaBt tenth street. The suit did not come to anything, and I do not know of any other law matters in which this notorious man was concerned. HIS VtFB HISTORY HOT KNOWJf. I had seen him before that time hover ing about the ol i postoffice bu luing, where thtra were many erks. He hai a seemicg mania lor the company of young men ana grown-up youths.

In the course of our investigations about the man we gathred up many stray bits of history about him, but nothing to make a connected life story. Ha had a superabundance of cheek and nothing could make him abashed. He was a coward physicialiy. though he looked like a giant and be struck me as one who would be vindictive to the last degree He was a tremendous trave ler, nd while away in Euroae bis letters to young Lyon showed that he was in avery city of Europe. The English authorities, who art now telegraphing for samples of his writing from ban Francisco, ought to get them in any city of Europe.

I had a big batch of letters sent by him to the young man Lyon, and they were tua most amusing farrago of Illiterate nonsense. Here is one written from the West. He never failed to warn his correspondence against lewd women, and in doing it used the most shocking language. I do not know how ha made his money. He had it Lefora he ba-came acquainted with the Lyon family, ana was a very liberal spender.

My own idea of this case is that it would ba just such a thing as Tumblety would be concerned in, but he might get one of his victims to do the work, for once he bad a young man under his control ba seemed to be ab.a to do anything with the victim.

Matters That Will Probably be Considered the Present Week. Washington, Dee. 2. resident Cleveland's annual message will be sent to both houses of Congress to-morrow immediately upon receipt of the usual notification that they are ready to' receive any communication he has to make. No delay is anticipated in the organization, as no deaths occurred in the recess, and there are no new members to swear in.

It is more than probable that the reading of the message will consume the first legislative day, as it is understood to be of unusual length. The report of the secretary of the treasury will not be sent to Congress until Tuesday. The programme for the week in tha Ben-ate will depend upon the result of the meeting of the committee on finance, called for Tuesday morning. If it is then decided to take up the committee's revenue measure, the Senate's substitute for the Mills tariff bill, pending at the close of the last session, its consideration will preclude the possibility of any other bill coming to the front until it ia disposed of. It is the expressed desire of Senators Morrill, Allison and Sherman to push the measure by a vote, so that it seems probably that the bill will be taken up.

If by any possibility the revenue bill should not come up the probabilities of the course of legislation are rather vague. The bills most likely to receive prompt attention with the least opposition are those for the admission ot ISorth Dakota, Montana and Washington territories into the Union. A special order for Tuesday at 2 o'clock 13 the Union Pacific funding bill, popularly so-called. By a strange coincidence, the first special order of the second session of the Forty-ninth Congress was a bill on the same subject. There Is a possibility that after the reading of the message in the House there will be an ellort made to secure the passage or the Ricaraguan canal or the Oklahoma bill under a suspension of the rules.

The posti'oility, however, is very si ght. Tussday and Wednesday will probably be devoted to the consideration of bills on the calendar in what it is called the consideration morning hour, the privilege of calling up bills resting with the committee on Indian affairs aud the pending measure beiug that for the settlement of the claims of the old settler band of Indians. Thursday is the day fixed by Democratic caucus resolution for the consideration of the direct tax bill, but it is still a matter of surmise whether or not the caucus programme will be adhered to. At the caucus held ou the night of April 11th, the memorable dead.ock which had held the House in continuous session from April 5th, was broken by the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved, That on reassembling tomorrow the House shall adjourn with the understanding that the committee on rules will report a special order setting apart Thursday, Dec. 6, 1SS8, immediately after the reading ot the journal, for the consider--ation of Stnate bill No.

13D, to provide for a refunding of the direct tax levied in 1861, in which order a reasonable time, not to exceed three days, viz Thursday, Saturday, and 'lues Jay, be allowed for debate and amendment, and the time for a vote on it final passage shall ba fixed at 4 o'clock on Tuesday. There were 125 members present at tha caucus, and the resolution was adopted without a dissenting vote, after the declaration by Mr, Ho man. (Ind. that it was unprecedented in the history cf the Democratic party that one-fifth of its members should control the whole, and the statement by Mr. Oates, who hud been foremost in opposition to the consideration of the measure, that, while if he followed his own views he would consent to no proposition that did involve the absolute defeat of the bill, he was too good a Democrat not to abide by the decree ot his party caucus.

The effect of the caucus action was the adjournment of the House on the following day, with the understanding impliod by the caucus resolution, but not expressed by any action of the House, that the direct tax bill should be a special order for Thursday next. It is generally understood that the programme will be carried out, although there has yet teen no meeting of the committee on rules to formulate the order. The opponents of tho bill, without any formal consulatlon, have practically decided that it would be bad faith for them to resort to dilatory tactics should the order be reported by the committee, or till be called up by a Dem cratic member, but they reserve their right to take any other action they see fit in case a Republican member call it up. Should the order be made, Saturday will be consumed in debate, and Tuesday will be devoted to the consideration of private bills. AT HARRISON'S HOME.

Thursday a street fiat tight occurred between several of the highbinders, and this afternoon a sanguinary meeting took place on the streets. About twenty Chinamen, all armed with pistols participated. Over fifty shots were exchanged and the row lasted about tea minutes. Four highbinders were shot down and two others wounded.
