nearly 4 o'clock this morning*. Tin- scenes after
midnight were of the ?inietest character, and tin
Senator? buck tod themselves down to their work
with uuDsual patience and energy. The ?attendant e
was rather small, but the working members were
mostly in their ?seats, and only the nil? is and a few
sick Senators were absent from their places. To
those who watch the procc?5dings of this l>ody it i?
known that the business is gem-rally co-odacted by
a Rmall number, and that the roll-calls nearly
always represent sections or polities.
The fiUmate chamber was exceedingly hot and un?
comfortable last night, being shut in as it is fr?.in
the outside air by ?corridois and < oinmitt?<'-rooiiiH,
and the Senator? worked at a disadvantage. Tl.c

finish it. The regular amendments of the Appm
priations Committee were linished at about 1
o'iioek, and amendments by individual Beaators
followed. Good progress was making, and the
prospect of getling away was hopeful, when Sen?
ator Withers offered an aiiiemrmeiit to pay tlie al
rcaily : n mail contractor? who had
back claims against the Tinted Stataa at the tin:?
?)f the breaking out of the war. la .?larch, 1877,

Mail Steamship ?Subsidy ami Mdangm (lie pi
of those section? which pr?vido for the classitica
tii'ii of mail ?natter and lis uniform rate- of postai-o
for newspaper-'.
This Kill has had a ?'lirions history. As originally
pa?s?d by the House, it simply wtebllshed oertatn
post route?. '1 lie Senate amended it by attaching
the clause in regard to the Brazilian siihsidv, the
hill f??r the elatisilii atioti of mail matter and Ok?
paiagragh iwiringths ?Traa^atag privilege, When
the aiuelulcil bill nililieil the lloil.se the opponeuts
ot the Brazilian ?subsidy determined te boat it, and
doubting their :il.ility to do thin directly they at
tacksd ??'itain jirovi.sions in Um Senat.- aiiieinlineiit?!
m tlie liroiind that they were revemiD meai
am!, therefore, could not under t!ie (.'?instiinlton
of tbe United State? originate in the ?9-enato, That
i In? was only a pretence will he seen trom the fact
that >?f*eparagraph obi??ted i? wag one allowing
books arriving in this country in tlio mails from
d foreign countries t<> enter free of duty.
But the Hoaatl a very j-aloiis of its poro.''nfives ami
so it sent the hill bank to the Ssoate ?setting forth
it.? leasons ?for not ?teeepting it.
Tlie Senat?' at ones ssked for a oontecaes seas?
lilltlee to settle the dill'.r.iii-e ; hut Speaker Kan
dall, who is opposed te tin? Brazilian siil?iih, de?
layed appointiniiit ?n* allowiniftho bill to be brought
before the Bejoss for tlmt purpose. Whoa ho did
appoint the conference commit t?'o he construct?'?! it
m Mich a way that be knew it wouhl not ?agres with
tin- Senate ? ? I 11.? first coiiti-ri-nee ialle.l to
agree, and a sseond was no more successful. The
question ?>f constitutional right raised by tlie House
presentatires, bowerer, now no longer i
for the Senate coiit? tees ?greed ?u onee that tlie ob
?ectionable feature ?houhl be stricken frniu the hill.
They also invited the House conferees to proceed to
consider the hill, hut the latter refined, on the
?rroond thai tlie bill was not before them, and they
had no eontrol over it.
When thUreport was made to tli?< lloime t.
the friends of the Brazilian subsidy attempted to
have the committee instructed t?> go on With the
lull, liii'l they possibly might have suecei-iled except
for the fact that a two-l birds voto wat re?iuir??l.
T'li?- original !'?>?t Boute hill may possibly in- p?
ami the lull for the classification of mail matter,
lay ;il?n -.?|iu ese through, thou?li then; is now
a tende m y to amend it in such a way as te ?I -
