THE CONStXAIt AND PTPLOMATIC APPBOI'KIA-TION BILL Reported on tho 10th. differs from the one originally introduced.

It restores the appropriation for the salary of Minister to Portugal, and provides for Commissioners and Consul General to Ilayti and Siberia, instead of Ministers, The bill contains no appropriations for ministers to Greece and Home. It reduces the contingent fund of the State Department from $65,909 to omits the salary of the Second Assistant Secretary of State, and fails to appropriate money for the following objects: F.xaminer of Claims, rent of State Department building, and Superintendent of Statistics.

IIAKKISKUKG. that probably he was mistaken, aVed Mr Parker to show him the bill, w-bir-h he aid" Hull then said the brakeman had the bill, dispute occurred about Ihe note, when Hull struck at Mr. Parker.

Mr. Parker was about to sit down on his seat when Hull struck at him. He jumped up quickly, and told null that he mnst leave the train. He then pulled the bell rope, Hull pulled his hat down on his head and rolled np his sleeves before the rope was pnlled. The dispute was over in a minute and Hull went to the front end of the train and got off.

Do not know that he was put The train afterwards moved on, and all was quiet until we arrived at Nineveh Station. Jone6, the brakeman, came to the conductor an said "Charley, that man has got on again." Mr. Parker then got np, went to the back part of the car, and told Hull that he would have to sret off the car, as he had acted too badly to remain. Next thing I beard was Parker laying that he was not a righting man. I saw Parker step off the car; did not see any weapon in his hand.

Hull then spread himself on the Bide track, but I could not hear what he was saying. Mr. Parker was on the platform, holding by the car railing with one hand; he bad a lantern in the other hand. Hall was abont the width of two tracks from Parker nine or ten feet. The disturbance then commenced, and I went into the car.

As I was going into the car door I saw the lantern drop fioui Mr. Parker's hand. He then jumped upron the platform of the car, exclaiaiine: "Ob, my God, my God, William 1" He was addressing me. He reached towards the bell ropie. I pulled the cord, jumped off the train.

and, in eompany with Mr. Joihe started after Hull. I saw- hira run-riintr along the road some distance ahead of ub. He ran somefouror five hundred yards when he got iuto the woods. It was tolerably dark at the time.

We gave up the chase and returned to the Station. Found Mr. Parker in a sitting posture on one of the seals ia the train. I took hold of his head and asked him where he was hurt, but te could not Epcak. I owned his shirt and found he was not injured on the breast.

We then laid him in the aisle of the car, and upon opening his clothing found that he was cut on the left side below the ribs. Observed a cut in his pantaloons and ons ia his shirt. His intestines were protruding for the wound in his body. While at Nineveh station saw a cumber of persons get off and on the cars. Witness afterwards went down to Florence in compauy with ten or twelve oilier persons, and ascertained that Hull was at Wm.

Donnelly's house, near Nineveh. Went 10 the house about two o'clock in the ir.ornir.sr. apt! was told that he was not there. The door was afterwards opened, when Hull was discovered. He threw up his hands, saying was the man.

when he was arrested, his hands tied behind his back, and he taken to Florence. Mr. Donnelly lives about a darter of a mile from Nineveh, on the other side of the river, and ebout a mile and a half from Hull's father's house. The counsel for the defense declined to eross-cvamiEe this witness. Tf-STIVOvy OF THE rllYSnTA X.

As soon as 1 trot in the car." Hull pnt his hand on my shoulder and said, '-Brakeman, I want you to excuse rae for what I have sai to you." I told him, "Cer-taiilv, I do." He said he hid had two dollar bills iu h's pocket that afternoon, but guessed he must have spent them, as he had been drinking freely. He again asked me to cxcu--e him. I told him that he ought to exercise better judgment, as it was not very pleasant to my fi i lines to be accused of stealing. He asked me if I was a lighting man. when I told him I was not hired for that business.

He then said, ''God damn you, I can whip you and your conductor both, and both of you cs.u't put me oil the I told him thai we did not want to put him oil if he behaved himtelf, but if he did not we would do so. He then made use of profane langnarre, and said he could whip any man on the train. The whistle had sounded for Nineveh station, Westmoreland county, and I stepped across from the second lo the first car, and after entering the car met Mr. Parker coming to the door. I said to him, "Charley, there is one of the men (meaning lltii!) in the other car." Mr.

Paiker stepped across to the second car and leaned up against the from window.

An accident of a very serious character occurred on the Central Ohio Kailroad, about seventeen miles west of Zanesvilie, on Friday night last.

It is said the train was running at a high rale of speed, and when upou a curve at lie point above indicated a broken rail threw the sleeping and one passenger car from the trat and hui ltd them down au cub inhmeut tivei iv-jive feet in height. In the disordered stale of ailairs upon such a sudden jump, the passciicers in the sleeping car escaped uninjured. Those in the other car, however, were not so foi Innate, but nearly every one re-eeivtd ii juries more or less severe, although no one was killed outright. One man is now lying at Ntviaik, to badly injured that it is feared he will cot recover. The accident differed f.om those of a similar character which have occurred, in thefacl that tlie cars were not set on tire.

They were lighted with coal oil lamps, but fortunately Ihe sudden jerking of the cars exliiiguistit ihe lights tiefore the oil ir'nited. Fire escaped fiom the stoves, but one "of the passcngcis had the presence of mind to smother i he iame before it became unmanageable. The injured persons mi tiered grealiy lor the want of water, with which -the cars were unprovided, and their only relief was in the snow'gathered together by their more fortunate companions.

The petition says: "Continue over us, if you will do so, your own rule by the sword. Send down among us honorable and upright men of your own people, of the race to which you and we belong; and ungracious, contrary to wise policy and the institutions of the country and tyrannous as it will be, no hand will be raised among us to resist by force their authority; but do not, we implore you, abdicate your ow rule over us by tranferring us to the blighting, brutalizing and unnatural dominion of an alien and inferior race a race which has never shown sufficient administrative capacity for the good government of even the tribes into which it has always been broken up in its native seals, and in which in all ages has itself furnished slaves for all the other races of the earth." It was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Four hours were taken up in discussing the resolution to admit Mr. Thomas, of Maryland. Mr.
