The voice of approval could scarcely bo louder if nothing bad ever been said by tho brethren about the genial ex-Henalor throwing off on the ticket in tlio campaign of 1884, Then they went so far as to doubt whether his Democracy was of the 18-carat kind. In tho Monroe County Watchman, a vig orous Democratic newspaper, it ia said that Congressman Snyder has not ans wered hall ol the roll calls ol the Home during the present session. This Is what comes ol keeping a Congressman so busy maniliDg his (encee. 11 a man answers t)o many roll calls In one House he inay nit he graciously permitted to anawer any in tho next; which is an Intolerable thought. ________ Tiik South Branch JnUUigmctr will per mit tho suggestion that it does not read this litmLioiNCsn aa carefully as it might.

Washington, July 3.?The Senate Com mittee on Pensions, in Its report recom mending the passage over the Presldent'a veto of a bill granting a pension to Mary J. Nottago, aays: So great has been the number of such vetoes interposed by the present Execu tive, all within a few weeks past, and so extraordinary the censure, sometimes rudely expressed, and in nearly every In stance severely applied, of the action of the two Houses of Congress and of their committees, upou which has devolved the wearisome and generally unappreciated labor of investigating these claims, accom panied in many cases by such ridicule of, and evident disgust with, the claims them selves, that your committee (eel that they are justified in a brief review of the cir cumstances involved. In doing this a strong effort will be made to restrain a not unnatural feeling of indignation which, If permitted to assume the proportions wbloh the provocation Justifies, would wholly destroy those respectful lorms of expression which must he maintained in official intercourse between the different officers and departments of tho Govern ment. This becomes tha more necessary In proportion as it is rendered the more dilllsult, by reason of the nnjust and uu exampied style in which some of the mes sages oi the President are expressed. It shell be the effort of the committee to get on in this difficult matter without violating an example which, so far as we are awaro, is without precedent, and which, so far as we are concerned, shall remaiu so. The committee proceeds to show thBt i!U percent of the Senate bills and only 8) percent of the Houso bills submitted to the President have been vetoed, and says it is not Insensible to the special con demnation which this disparaging con trast inflicts. It continues: TUB COUNTRY MISLED. Muck criticism hai been indulged In by the President of the methods of legislation punned by the two houses of Congress, and however uninformed be may bo upon the subject, aud however unintentionally, by reason of a want of knowledge, he may have misrepresented to the country the methods of legislation which have been pursued In like cases over since Congress and Parliament h?vo existed, and which have, since Parliament became freo, been safe from Kingly and Presidential influ ence; all the saiuo the people are misled by the unwarranted statements of the President as to the manner in which leg islation upon pensions, claims and the like Is, and of necetsity must be, con ducted. The pension buslnoes of the Senate has never been better dono than during this session. Those members of the committee who have performed the most work have been as careful as any, and derision of their patient, conscientious and exhausting labors to help along these noblest and best portions of God's poor and the country's benefactors, can originate only In a wise and noble nature whlob is misled, or In one that if Informed, sadly needs recon struction or recreation. The report imbodies a copy of instruc tions by the Assistant Secretary of the In terior to the Commissioner of Pensions, as follows: Please cause the same to be critically ex amined; and report to this depsrtment, whether, in your opinion, any objections to their approval are known to exist. In cases whore objections exist, they should bo specifically set forth. This Indicates, the committee says, un mistakably, that the President relies upon the Commissioner for bis facta. The re port continues: A 01X1 orSUUTTLICOCK. Why the President should imitate this game of shutlleoook. and pelt a co-ordi nate department of the Government with vetoes baaed upon the review of actions of Congress by some subordinate of theCom mlsilcner of Pensions, is a topic which will bear thought, bat perhaps may bs left without dlacusalon. Why the finding of the two Houses of Congress should be discredited and attributed to mean mo* Uvea, ind!(Terence or incapacity, while the reaasertlon by the pension clerk that hs Is right and Congress wrong Is accepted as a basis of {act In those numsrous vetoes, It Is hard to peroelve. But through these vstots thsre seems to ran the fallacy that the powsr of Congress to grunt pensions Is limited to whatinay already bs done by ;the Pension Office, under the general law, It Is difficult to write In that tudlamentary way upon the nature of pensions,and the various grounds of compensation, charity and public policy which are necessary to rsmovs this Im pression. It is sufficient to observe thst tlis Jurisdiction of the leglllatlvs power of this Government Is larger than that of the Commissioner of Pensions and that, sooner or later, although It may cost the oountry a prolonged anil steady effort, thin truth will become apparent. But It should be remembered that, Id a very large nam* ber of these hills passed by Congress, Im portant original written evMenoe is filed with the committees or presented verbal* ly, as In hearings before other ooomlttees upon all pnbllo questions whloh corns be* fnre legislative bodlee, and often the ap plicant Is present with his statement and Lis palpabis disabilities. This svldsnce Is not available to the Executive, at least without the asking, tod never hsa been In the possession of the Pension Office.

Tbe Secretary stood tbe long carriage drive of twenty miles over tbe mountains and tbe aubseiiuent railroad trip without fatigue or inconvenience. The train bear ing the Secretary and his party waa board ed near Culpepper by United Statea Treasurer Jordan, who brought witn him tbe latest Department news and a basket of choice flowers for tbe Secretary. Tbe train was about an hour behind time in arriving here. The President, Postmaster General and Mrs. Vilas, Assistant Secretary and Mra. Fairobild, Private Secretary Lamont and a number of officials ol ths Treasury be Eartment were awaiting his arrival, and oarded the Secretary's private car. IJuite a reception followed, tbo Secretary snak ing hands and receiving tbe congratula tions ot visitors for about ten minutes, af ter which be retired with the President to one of the state rooms, where tbe two bad a long talk. When the President left the car it was attached to tbe New York train.

WO UK Ol-'COXUllKSS, aiAttor* to bo CoiinlUcml by llotli Huiinum Thl* Wttok. Washington, July 4.?The programme outlined by tbe "steering committee" for the conduct of business in tbe House dur ing the coming week is made up of appro priation bills, and luml grant forfeiture bills. When the House meets to-morrow the Appropriation Committee will make an effort to havo tbe regular suspension day passed over In order to continue con sideration of the dellclency appropriation bill. Bofore final action is reached on that measure the Fortifications appropriation bill will have to be readied, anil that meas ure will have been placed on tbe calender. As thocoinmitteo has cut down the ap propriations far below departmental est imates in repairing that bill its considera tion in the House is likely to lead to extended debate. The Public Lauds Committee expects to sccure act on upon some of Its land grant forfeiture bills about tbe middle of tbe week, and towards its close It is probable that while awaiting coherence reports the House may act uoon tbe Reagan Inter Slate Commerce hill and Mr. Morrison's "Surplus" resolution. Two evenings will bo allotted to tbe Committee on Fubllu Buildings, which haa bills appropriating $4,500,000 iu tbe aggregate already on the calendar. Tho time ot the Senate during the weok will probably be devoted to tbe River and Harbor bill, the Naval appropriation bill, and tbo Oleomargarine bill. The caucus planned to devote a day last week to ex ecutive business, but failed to carry out its purpose. It Is understood that the case of Solloltor General Uoode, adversely re ported from the Judiciary Committee, Is the flrat-and knottiest of tbe problems with which the executive body will at tempt to wrostlo.

The occasion was a grand success in every way, and the participants will long re member It as one of the most pleasant of the kind ever held. Knthusiasm and good feeling prevailed, and whenever a patri otic sentiment was expressed by ono of the speakers or a patriotic air played by the band, the sturdy old lorest oaks were made to fairly tremble by tho vociferous cheers that went up from the willing throats of the assembly. About two thou sand people were on the ground to-day. Stirring nud eloquent addresses were made by tbe Hon. John W. Mason, of Grafton, the Hon. D. Powell, of Klomlngton, Hon. Wm. M. O.

Uun * Co.1* Com* uiercial Ageucy-A l*ro?i?erou? Autiuuu Trade?The Crope of (he North went ? The Wheat Yield. Messrs. B. Q. Duo & Co., report the failure! in tbe United States (or the first hall of 1880 as 6,156 in number with liabil ities of 160,432,000, against (1,004 with lia bilities of $74,722,000 for the first half ol 1886. OnmmentlnK on this comparative record and tbe business outlook tbe; say: Tbe very marked decrease In failures In dicates that the trade of the country is In a state of surprising prosperity, when wo oonsider the strain which the commercial body politic has beon called upon to under go from tbe loss of confidence Incident to tbe widely extended labor troubles of the last few months. Following a season of depression and absence of profit, tbo adverse, conditions encountered during tbe half year might have resulted most disastrously, but fort unately there was a condition of prepared ness for even an almost total cessation of business in large areas of country, and the hellyear has closed with disasters far less serious, and far leas numerous than might have been anticipated. In some reeuects tbe six months under review have been fruitful of good results. Tbe conflict be tween labor and capital, which seemed at all timea impending, and which, it was (eared, would in the end result ruinously for both Interests, bis been, in a measure, decided. Tbe result is, that a serious doubt has been weighed and measured, and tbe extent of an evil heretofore un known, pretty well ascertained. The ex tensive labor organizations, and tbe sup posed large revenues whiob would sustain strikes, and resistance generally, to tbe ordinary laws of trade, are not so seriously estimated now as they were six months ago. There Is therefore a greater disposi tion to extend business operatiuus.in the full knowledge of tbe last six months than at any time tor some years past. A SKNSK Or BKUSr, There is a sense of relief in the mluds of merchants, bankers, and capitalists, aris ing moro or less out of tbe events of the past six mouths, in the bullet that the worst could be expected from tbe unfavor able conditions has occurred, and. futher, that for the future there is a much better and clearer prospect for the commerce of the couutry. Tlie miracle is that under such a strain mercantile disasters so few and InsignlUcant have occurred. It shows bow solid aro the foundations of the busi ness fabric, tbat shocks so severe could be borne with so little damage. It is true that the profits realized have been very slight in many parts of tbe country, and that, notwithstanding an extremely favor able opening of tbe season aud a steady Increase in the voluino of business In the post few weeks, the results of the first six months of the year in the shape of returns are not at all satisfactory. For the re mainder of tbe year, howover, tbe pros pect is more than usually good. There seem to be fewer disturbing elements than ever before, confidence is almost universally restored, the promise of an abundant harvest is well assured, and the autumn season is now look forward to as likely to yield very liberal returns in trade and banking circleB. UIITTICB ADJUSTMENT Or VALUES. There appoara to be a better adjustment of values prevalent than for some years past, ottering surer opportunities for a profit in tbe transaction of business. A certain settled standard has eucoeeded the shifting, uuknown basis which lias hith erto prevslled, and is a powerful aid to the establishment of the confidence now being gradually restored. Tbo earning power of. large corporations, whose securi ties aro held widely throughout tbo coun try, such as railroads, manufacturing con cerns, banking, and other representative institutions, is now apparently more as sured than at tills time last year. The nteady improvement In the railroad situ ation is the beat indication in tills direc tion, reports showing not only au in creased tonnage, but at rates tbat yield fair returns. A more certain income for a large class of security holders may there fore be relied npon, and a more settled condition of trade among this class is thereby rendered possible. There is a great Increase in the class of security hold era, and the number of people In tlio United States who now live upon the in terest of their investments and loans has of late years enormously lacreased. What ever contributes to permanency and cer tainty of Income for this class helps gen eral trade now to a greater extent than ever before. Heuco, tbe cessation of the great railroad war, which, last year, were so destructive of values, is of importance as Indicating that tbe immense capital in vested in tbis means ol communication, Is now likely to earn a fair return, a matter of great importance to the general trade of the country. TUB MONEY MARKKT. Tbe growth ot wealth and money earn ing capacity of this vaat country In the last few years ia illustrated by the gradual decline In the rate of lnterst, the conse quences of which are likely to be very Im portant. The rates now prevalent of four and live percent are almost as universal as five years ago were six and seven percent. This cheapness of money, while on the one hand It Indicates a great abundance and an approach to the monetary condi tions which prevail In the wealthiest countries of the old world, is likely on this new continent to have most important consequenoes in the extension of under taking impossible in countries lees In site and with restricted resources. This cheap ness of money, with confidence restored, and a fairly proeperous condition oi affairs existing throughout the country, Is likely to stimulate all new enterprises, while the economy with which business can now be transacted, owing to the low rates which prevail, Is full of encouragement for tbe future. It would be dlnicult to Imagine a more favorable set of conditions than those now prevailing, and, except for the high taxa tion, which Congress bas tbus far failed to rednco, and Its failure to pass a bank rupt law, so that uniform action for the protection of debtor and creditor can be secured, there ii little that needs to bo done to oiler the beat possible chance to the trader, the manufacturer, or banker, to purius a profitable and satisfactory career. With failures so (ew, notwith standing adverse conditions, with tbs country growing rapidly year by year, with money at low rates of interest, and with (ew disturbing element*, there seems fair reason to anticipate a proeperous autumn business THK WJWKUV CltOI'g, Tha Whent Yield tannetiad by Hotero I>rou|th*-Ont? niiil fin*. Chicago, July 4.?The following crop summary will appear In this week's Ueue ot the Farmen' Rtrteu I The detailed re ports from' th* spring wheat growing States, together with sotnal results from has already been considerably lessened. A thorough aualysis ol the probable crop yield baa not been attempted by the to lim, but a study of the detailed reports which bave covered every county in the northwest during the past three weeks do not give the promise of not 'to exceed sixty million bushels in excess ol the figures made by the Government last year. .Both the oats and ilsx crop bave suff ered severely from the prolonged drought in the northwestern states, and the pros pective yield of oats will lie short ol the average yield per acre, lulna in Ohio, Indiana and portions ol Illinois, have de layed harvesting and caused some injury. In twenty-seven counties ol Illinois which return reports as to actual results ol the wheat harvest, the yield baa varied wide ly Irom live to eighteen bushels per acre. The average of the wheat yield is from te.i to elghteon bushels. Keports from all counties ol Minnesota indicate that the present wheat outlook does not promise to exceed one-hall to three-fourths of an average where the full etfects of the drougnt have been felt. The reports Irom all countlea of Min nesota indicate that the present wheat out look does not promise to exceed one-half to three-fourths of an average where the lull effects of the drought have been felt. ?(The reports from Indiana show that the * heat harvested Is of excellent quality, though the yield will fsll short ol an av erage crop. The need of rain lor all grow ing crops Is Indicated throughout Wiscon sin In Dakota the need of rain is again beginning to be felt throughout the entire territory. JIKCOMINU MONOTONOUS. Tito Cmilullmi CruiMur Terror NuUo? Two Bturo Alllnrlran VunauU, Halifax, N, a., July 3.?The cruiser Terror capturcd two more American flail ing schooners lest night at Sand Point, near Shelburne, anU took them up to the Utter harbor this morning. The schoon ers captured are the George W, Gushing and 0. B. Harrington, both of Portland, Maine. Few particulars have as yet reached hero from Shelburne respecting the seiz ure of the schooners Oily Point, 0. II. Harrington and George W. Gushing. All these vessels belong to Portland, Mo., and are undeistood to he charged with similar offenses, of permitting men to land or taking water on board before re porting at the loc<l Custom House, it Is asserted that Captain Jewett, of the Gushing, had been ashore, bargain ing for bait, b.it did sot purchase any, Consul-General Phelan has re ceived official continuation of tlio three seizures, and has also got dispatches from the captains of tho Gushing ami Harring ton announcing that two men who landed st Shelburne from the City Point on Wednesday evening wero natives of that town. Threo others belonging to the same vessel, two ol them marine men and tho other a resident o( Queena county, Nova Scotia, went ashore in the evening. Men from the cruiser Terror, by the Cap tain of which all three seizures were made, have been pi deed In charge of the schooners, and additional instructions from Ottawa are awaited by Commander Quigley. It was reported that another American lishlng vessel, the Hereward, of Gloucester, Mass., had been seized at C'anso this evening tor shipping a man, but the report proved to be ouly partially cjrrect. From information rocelved in this city it is believed the vessel was de tained by the Customs Collector on such charge and an otllcer placed on board, but that her guilt was not clear and she was afterward released. A telegram to-night from the vessel's captain, Daniel McDon ald, states that every thing is all right, and that he will sail to-morrow. Consul-Geuersl Phel.n regards the three Shelburne seizures as being made on only one grouud, that of unimportant Infrac tion of customs laws, and says he does not believe any infraction of the Fishery Con vention can be established. A Tall Mult. Nkw Yobk, July 4,-rThe tallest resi dence in the world Is now in litigation. It Is the Osborne apartment house, and it measures 200 feet from sidewalk lovel to roof. Like most of the enormous French flat buildings in this city, it has been a financial failure, returning loss than 2 per cent, on the investment of $1,250,000. The suit Is over a contract under which it was to liave been sold by Thomas Osborne to the wife of General Charles 0. Dodge. The lofty structure stands on an elevated site In Seventh svenue, near Central Park, and it makes the neighboring church Bpires look mean and small. As a now law forbids the erection of bouses in New York more than 1U0 feet high, and such restrictions are In force in European cities, the Osborne is likely to retain its oltitu dlnous pre-eminonco. IIIh Tlilnl Attempt. Wilkiisbabui!, Pa., July 4.?The third attempt of John Daley, the "reformed Catholic," to speak in River Park this afternoon proved another failure, as the immense crowd present pushed him to wards tlio river and in a few minutes he and the police were shoved over tho bank to the water's edge. He made no further effort to talk. Many of the persons pres ent, although no particular advocates of Daley's doctrine, express the opinion that he Is being rather harshly treated, and it Is believed that any further attempt to silence his speech tvili be met with obsti nate resistance. Dally had to be escorted to his residence by the police. NKW8 IN Hit I HIT. Lloyd 1'. Smith, Librarian of the Phila delphia Library since 1841), is dead. !
