THEI SENATE.
WAS.1WOTON, June 19.-The president pro
tem. announced his signature to the legisla
tive appropriation and sundry other bills. C
Before transacting any business the Senate t
at 11:15 a. m. went into executive session, and r
remained there until 12:25 p.m. c
When the doors were opened Mr. Gordon
moved to discharge the Committee on Com- h
meree from the further consideratlkm of the it
House bill for the relief of the families of the v
who perished on board the United States a
t McAlester.
.McMillan objected, and the subject went t
over tinder the rules.
Mr. Matthews called up the House bill re- t
lating to claim agents and attorneys in pen
slob cases.
# Mr. Conkling had read a telegram from I
Wat. Delaney, Lieutenant Colonel of volun
teeas, stating that to limit the fee to $10 a
would be to exclude from the pension rolls c
applicants whose cases were at all difficult or t
complicated. The bill was passed without d
amendment. t
Mr. Windom, from the committee of con- c
ferenee on the sundry civil appropriation I
bill, reported that the committee had been
unable to agree. He said that without going t
nto detail as to the points of difference, he h
would say that he was without hope of being g
able to come to a final agreement. He there
fore moved that another committee be ap- t
Volnted. Agreed to, and Messrs. Windom, I
y and Beck were re-appointedl.
Mr. Windom then offered a concurrent reso- e
lution extending the time for final adjourn- t
Mr. Blaine called up the House bill making
Gardner and Richmond main points of de
livery, and it was passed.
Mr. McMillan having withdrawn his objec
tion, the bill for the relief of the families of I
the men who perished on the United States
dredgeboat McAlester at the mouth of the
Mississippi river was taken up and passed.
Mr. Voorhees moved to take from thetable
the House bill making legal tender notes re
ceivable for duties on imports.
Mr. Conkling raised the point of order that
under the eighth rule, bills from the House
could only be laid before the Senate during
the morning hour.
After a lengthy discussion of the question
the chair decided that the point of order
could not be made until the motion of Mr.
Voorhees to set aside prior orders had been
submitted. The motion was then put and
agreed to-yeas 23, nays 19.
Mr. Voorhees then moved to take up for
conAideratlon the bill named.
Mr. Conkling then interposed his objection
on the ground stated.
The Chair overruled the point of order.
Mr. Conkling appealed from the decision of
the Chair and after debate on the point of or
der the Chair was sustained-yeas 35, nays 12.
The bill was then read a first time. Several
Senators objected to the second reading, and
the bill was returned to the table.
On motion of Mr. Morrill, the Senate at
3:10 p. m. went into executive session, after
which a recess was taken until 8 o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
The Senate reassembled at 8 o'clock, and on
motion of Saunders, took up the Senate bill
to establish the Territory of Lincoln.
Mr. Davi , of Illinois, said it was too late
in the session to take up such a bill.
Discussion was suspended to pass a resolu
tion Introduced by Mr. Ingalls, granting per
missIon for the Stanley Matthews committee
to sit at such places and times as may be
convenient, and It was passed.
The bill to establish the Territory of Lincoln
was then read and after some discussion Mr.
Bayard moved to postpone further considera
tlon of the bill until the first Monday in De
oember next. Agreed to.
THE HOUSE. d
Mr. Haskell, of Kansas, moved to suspend
the rules and pass the bill providing for the si
payment of arrears of pensions to soldiers of
the last war. Passed-161 to 62--two-thirds
voting in the afflt mative
Mr. Kenna, of West Virginia, made a report It
from the conference committee on the dis- o
agreeing votes of the two houses on the bill p
in relation to the election of Representatives r
from West Virginia to the Forty-sixth Con- y
greea. The committee leave in so much of the
bill ae applies to West Virginia but strike out e
the Senate amendment authorizing the pres- It
ent Legislature of New Hampshire to elect a E
United States Senator. The report was agreed
to--yeas 119 nays 93.
Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, moved to sus
pend the rules and pass a bill on the private
calendar to transfer Somerville Nicholson
from the retired to the active list of the navy. f
Passed.
Mr. Clarke, of Missouri, moved to suspend
the rules and take from the Speaker's table
and pass the Senate bill to create an auditor c
for railroad contracts and for other purposes.
Passed-yeas 187 nays 13.
Mr. Finley, of bhio, moved to suspend the d
rules. Adopted.
A resolution authorizing the Committee on
Expenditures in the Postoflice Department
and the Committee on Publlc Expenditures
to each em pl.y a clerk during the recess of
Congress. Rejected- yeas 30, nays 157. 1
The House concurred in the Senate resolu- ,j
tion further extending the time for adjourn
ment until 10 o'clock p. dli. to-day.
At 3:40 p. m. Mr. Atkins :sported a disa
greement on the sundry civil appropriation c
bill and moved for a new committee.
Mr. Garfield hoped that the gentleman
would give the House some Information as to
the probabilities of an agreement; the report
really gave no Information.
Mr. Atkins said that the committee differed
very widely on the hill; what the final result .1
would be remained to be seen; at present there (
were very slight chances of an agreement,
but he would ao all he could to bring one
about.
Mr. Garfield said the House did not know
what the matter In controversy was, and the
new committee got no idea of the wishes of
the House by sending the bill back to a new F
committee.
Mr. Atkins inquired whetherthe gentleman
would instruct the conference committee.
Mr. Gartleld said he would not, but the
House might express its opinion on the I
points of difference.
Mr. Atkins said if that was done, and the 1
House voted by yeas and nays on all the E
points of difference, It would be voting until
the sun rose to-morrow.
Mr. Hale said that the Senate had added
largely to the bill, and the differences were 1
so reat that they could not possibly be re
ported to and acted upon by the House. The
fact of making this report to the committee
on going back would make the members more
yielding. The Senate and House would both
have to yield something. He believed they
could come to an agre',ennt by 8 o'clock.
Mr. Atkins was not as hopeful of that as the
gentleman from Maine.
A new committee was then ordered, and
Messrs. Atkins, Hewitt and Hale were re
appointed.
inr. Lockwood, of New York, was appointed
a member of the committee to a'tend the
Sfuneral of M. Quinn, in place of Mr. Mayham.
r Mr. Crittenden, of Missouri. moved to sus
pend the rules and pass the bill on the Speak
er's table to establish a board of Pacific rail
road commissioners. The motion was re
--yeas 105, nays 103, two-thirds not vot- t
in the affirmative.
Mr. Cox, of New York. took the floor, and
said that he wanted to pass the letter car
riers' bill.
Pending a motion to suspend the rules
rmotion was made to take a recess until 8 I
.oc'lok, and on a division the motion mws de- 1
Clared carried, and Mr. Cox and others de- 1
manded tellers, and Gen. Butler and Mr. Wil
son, of West Virginia, were appointed.
As the members voted it was manifest that
a large majority favored the recess, and Mr.
Cox withdrew his demand for tellers.
The Chair said: "The gentleman from New
York withdraws the demand for tlilers, and
the House takes a recess until 8 o'clock."
There wan however, s') much confusion on
the floor, that it was not observed for
the moment that the presiding officer had
left the chair, and they kept on voting.
When Gen. Butler saw the vacant chair,
he bought Mr. Finley out, and wanted to
err --
know, "Whit the devil he adjourned the
House for?"
Mr. Finley replied, while a crowd of mem
r bers gathered aroundthat the gentleman
from Now York (Mr. Cox) withdrew the de
mand for letters.
"What the devil had that to do with it," c
. said Mr. Butler. "The House ordered the t
tellers and Mr. Cox is not the House." r
Mr. 'inley made explanations which molli- t
fled the gentleman from Massachusetts, and
they parted good friends.
EVENINO SESSION.
SUpon reassembling after the recess Mr. :
Cox, of New York, was recognized and moved
to suspend the rules and pass the bill to
i regulate and equalize the salaries of letter I
carriers. Passed-yeas 149, nays 54.
1 The bill provides that in cities of 75,000 in
- habitants or over there shall be two classes of
a letter carriers; the first class shall be of those
a who have served more than one year, and ,
3 shall receive $1000, the others to receive $900.
Carriers in cities below 75,000 inhabitants are
t to receive $850.
Mr. Conger, of Michigan, moved to suspend
the rules and pass a joint resolution amend
ing the constitution so as to prohibit the pay
ment of claims to disloyal persons. The (
n joint resolution provides that no claim shall
be ever allowed or paid by the United States t
I as damages, or otherwise, for property taken I
s or used by the United States troops during
r the late rebellion, or for property injured or
t destroyed, whether the same was located in
the States in rebellion, or whether it was 1o
- cated outside of the rebellious States, unless
n it shall be proven that the owners were loyal, I
i and gave no aid, comfort or encouragement
q to the enemies of the United States. The
e joint resolution was adopted-yeas 144, nays
61, two-thirds voting in the affirmative.
At 9:30 p. m. the House took up and passed
the Senate resolution extending the session
, until 1 o'clock Thursday morning.

e JUDGE BLACK ON THr FRAUDS. on
K He Thinks Hayes "Sly" and Sherman and
Ratthews Gulty. N
[New York Star.)l c
e A reporter met ex-Judge "Jere" Black, as tol
he came out of the Surrogate's Court yester- h
day afternoon, and had a talk with him on the Di
famous fraud and the Potter investigation.
The veteran lawyer and statesman did not
mince matters much, but was boldly pro
nounced in his opinions on the prominent m
points of the subject. of
d He has no doubt that John Sherman and th
sr Stanley Matthews are both guilty, but Is will
. ing to give them the benefit of any doubt
there may be in other people's minds, until sa
ly all the testimony is before the country. He Jr:
says, if he was in the Senate, he would make Ac
d a motion to have Stanley Matthews ex- ea
Spelled,
r, "Sherman is in a tight place," said the nf
y judge, "and I don't see how he is going to
,f extricate himself. The testimony seems th
overwhelming, and they are both convicted na
. out of their own mouths and by their own
conduct."
. Mr. Black regards Stanley Matthews' at
of tempt to shield himself with Senatorial priv
:k lieges as the thinnest kind of pretext. "He
s. has no greater privileges than any other r,
man, and he will be obliged to attend the N
committee, or suffer the penalty due to any ,
j. other witness in detfault." rc
"Suppose the frauds are made manifest- o'
what will be the result in reference to the re
tention or deposition of Hayes?" asked the
h teporter.
d The present Congress cannot depose Hayes
unless it can be proved that he has had guilty gi
lc knowledge of the frauds by which he was t,
d 'counted in,' and then the proper course oi
n- would be by impeachment." al
- "What do you think of his letters to Mr. tt
)I- Evarts recommiending Anderson and Dennis to
rid for official positions on the ground that they 1r
ly were 'special cases ?' "
"I think it will et difficult to prove that he
is directly responsible, or has personal knowl
edge of the fraud, from these letters. I think tl
he he has probably been shrewd enough to save f,
'n- himself."
in The judge is not prepared to give any opin
Inn as to the result in the event of Hayes' d
n- Impeachment, but thinks that such an issue fi
for would be a good precedent in the constitu- ii
rd, tional history of the country, and that subse
Ire uent events could take care of themselves. t
But the greatest mistake of all, he said, was b
committed by the Democrats on the Electoral
Commission. They shiould have resisted the a
ng fraud in its inception, and have put their feet 2
fir down firmly on the first attempit to tamper 3
tit- with the constitutional mode of electing the i
as President.
WO He has considerable faith in Butler as an
investigator and on reflection, in spite of his
re opinion of Hayes' shrewdness, says it is pos
rd, sible that the Essex statesman may unearth n
*so many sacrets and 'elicit so much testimony
that impeachment may be possible after all. 3
al The Judge said, finally, in closing the inter
view: "Butler will throw a brick at him that .
will hurt him, at all events."

The President Contll urs to Show His Hoe
tlllty to a Silver Currency.
[Chicago Times.]
WAHRIINoTONr, .Jun If).--Dissatlsfaction at
the appxointment of 1' enton and Gru.ssbeck on
the si 'er comnmission contliulles. It is pos
sible that Fenton may he rejected, unless the
President should withdraw his name. The
,silver men are not satisfied with him. They
say he has never identified himself with
the silver movement, and that he at most
is a p,litlcian who only seeks the place
for political advantage. The delegation of
the Honate Finan:e Committee which waited
upon the President to Induce him to with
draw the names of Grocsthck and Fenton as
members of the International Monetary Con
ference was not successful. The President
i heard their objsnclions, and stated that he
could not withdraw their names, and that the
Senate must either confirm or reject them.
The appointment of Fonten is said to be an
other effort of Evarts to play the politician.
i It is necessary that Fenton should be recog
nized in some way, and. as he could not be
l made Collector of New York, to prevent him
from being neglected altogether, he has been I
given this conspicuous place.

Juvenile Generosity.
[The IndependPnt.l
I'm glad to say that our child is a generous
little body. The other day her grandfather
gave her a cent to buy herself some candy. As
she was going out she discovered a little beg
gar boy on the front steps. She stopped, and
looked first at him, then at her cent; then
looking down on the ground, apparently lost
in thought. Finally, with the sweetest smile
on her beautiful face, she stenped up to the
forlorn child, and, laying her hand on his
r shoulder, said in a gentle trone: "Here, little
boy, take this cent, and go and buy yourself
a suit of clothes and some dinner."
The centenary of Voltaire was duly cele
brated in Rome, Milan, Bologna and other
Italian cities. At Rome there were several
manifestations, and in the evening the Apollo
Theatre gave a representation of Zaire, with
the actors Salvini and Marmo. Before the
representation took place, the bust of Vol
ta!re was crowned, amid the loud and unanl
mous applause of the audience.

Miss Eastman, of Massachusetts, has seen
a crowd of men. each smoking his pipe. chew
ing tobacco,. yelling for bread or work, and
she asks: "What would be thought of a pro
cession of destitute women demanding relief

f would think they had better save the money
they spend for candy and buy seven-button
