Washington, August 4.—Morrison of- ferred and the house unanimously iidoptod the following resolution. “That the house of representatives of the United States has heard with profound sorrow of the death of that eminent and distinguished citizen Samuel J. Tilden.” The senate amendments to the fortifica tion appropriation bill were non concurred in, and Forney. Randall, and Buttenvorth were appointed conferees. Morrison called up the c.onference re port on the joint resolution. Morrison thought the resolution as it passed the house had been a wise and conservative measure of public interest. The resolu tion as agreed upon by the committee on conference was, it seemed to him, not so good a measure, yet in the present condition of the treasury and that bonded debt it would accomplish all this would have been done under the resolu tion as it passed the house. The resolution made provision for a call of such bonds as was subject to call. There were $132,000,000 three per cent, bonds re maining uncalled. By ten millions a call they would all be taken up in thirteen mouths and the resolution would have executed itself. There would be public debt until 1801 to to the question, why one country matters slowly, and in the great swiftness was used passed the house hill granting to tho same lady tlie regular legal pension, and it was ' passed.

Bending further discussion Morrison moved that the house take a recess until to o clock to-morrow, and the hour of 5 o clock having arrived, the house ad journed. Somites Washington, August 4.—Sewell, from tne committee on library, reported a Joint resoluhon accepting from William H. Van derbilt and Julia Dent Grant objects of < nd trt pre iente 1 by various .or#!gn which it could apply. In Thet!'nvlNn t8 to . tll , e la A e Flysses 8, fhAAA thirteen mnnth« ftV) ivin iiw, aie accepted with grateful a these thirteen months $'50,000,0)0 of the $132,000,000 would be taken up by the sink ing fund. In those thirteen months the surplus receipts of the government would exceed $32,000,000, so that only $50,000,000 of the present surplus fund would bo re quired to be taken out of the treasury i i the thirteen months to extinguish the debt; consequently at the end of thirte n months all the debt that could be paid would have been pain, and there would still be $30,000,000 surplus in the treasury. Therefore, the effect would be the same whether the resolution were passed with the $50,000,000 amendment or not. Another amendment substituted the secretary of the treasury for the president in the exer cise of discretion in regard to postponing calls. Because the treasury department I ,,a‘ss"mv h'iTl Vt all" Tt'wmdVi'n'.V t' *£2 ****** to send directed it to do, he would not have left so large discretion in the hands of the secre tary, but the discretion was only to be ex ercised in an extraordinary emergency.

Passed. George moved to take up the house bills to remove political disabilities. Ingalls protested against what he culled a ‘grab game” in farming out the floors. He suggested either that senators should be called alphabetically or that the calen dar should be taken up regularly. Cockrell suggested that the house bills on the calendar unobjected to should be taken up and passed. Edmunds opposed the suggestion, saying that the greatest possible service which the dc geucy. If the United States liaa u cut throat with Mexico or a fishery war in Can ada, and this money was paid out it would not be the surplus in the treasury, but the senate lias assumed that there might be a contingency in which it might be neces sary to postpone the call. Weaver, of Iowa, agreed tlint the origi nal -house resolution was a wise and con servative measure, but the conference re- Jiort lacked in wisdom what he supposed it made up in conservatism. There was nothing on the earth senate could render to-day would be not to to large number of bills at a lat#hour. The result would be probably that many of them would not be signed, and then they would be in a worse condition than if they had been left on the calendar. Ingalls asked Allison (chairman of the committee on appropriations! to state the condition of the public business, and when the final adjournment might take place. Allison stated that the deficiency bill, the sundry civil bill and the river and hnv- bor bill had just been signed by the pre siding officer. The ebnir—“All three are on their way to the president.” Allison, continuing, said: “The fortifica tion bill has passed both houses. The sen ate lias asked a conference, but the house has not yet acted on that request. I have heard floating through the air in some sort of chaotic way that it is not the intention i the house to pass the fortification bill at left of the original resolution j this session, but an accession of power to the treasury l VIr. Dawes—“I have been informed i un department. Nothing could be gained by officially) that the house will appoint a the passage of the resolution as now- reported. It was a complete back-down and abnegation on the part of the house, and an insult to the public sentiment which had impelled the passage of tile original resolution by a magnificent two- thirds vote. Hewitt, of New York, said those who voted for this measure were voting for a measure which would bring the country to a silver basis ns surely as the sun would rise to-morrow. The discussion was continued by Bland, Breckenridge, of Kentucky, Hiseoek, Can non, Browne, of Indiana, Buttenvorth, Evans, Sow-den and others. Randall closed the debate in support of the conference action, and in the course of his speech he presented a tabular state ment, showing the appropriations made by congress at the present session. The report was then adopted—yeas 120, nays 63. Belmont, of New York, from the com mittee on foreign affairs, reported the Cut ting resolutions, which were published this morning, and received unanimous consent to have them immediately consid ered. Hitt, of Illinois, said the resolution seen - ed to be a unanimous report of the com mittee on foreign affairs. The resolutions had been adopted by the committee yes terday when the correspondence upon which they were based were in manu script, ana when the only information be fore tne committee was contained in the report of the secretary of state. In that re port it was stated that a demand had been made for the release of Cutting, and that the Mexican government had refused to release him. Acting upon this, he 1 Hitt) assented to the resolutions. Since then he had read the correspondence, and in stead of the Mexican government having refused the demand of the United States, it had shown every spirit of compliance. There was no evasion; there was no defi ance; there was very nearly humiliation in the tone of that feeble government before the sudden defiant demand of the secretary of state in the name of the president. Blount, of Georgia, inquired whether Cutting was not still in jail. .. , Hitt replied that he was, but said that upon the interference of the Mexican min ister of foreign affairs he had been offered his release on bail, which he had scorn fully refused. That was the work ot a mischief-making consul there who made speeches to crowds in the streets about vindicating the rights of his country. That was the incarnation of indiscretion by the man who had charge of our foreign affairs there. Cutting, acting by the j advice of the consul, declared that his case was no longer an individual one, but an international affair and he insisted on sit ting in his prison when he could walk out ; any moment he pleased. I (brain, of Texas, said that so far non 1 j declining an offer to be released on bail, | ,j e f erenc e committee on that bill in a few minutes, but I must agree with the senator from Iowa, that there is little probability of a solution of that question.” Mr. Allison—“I think it unnecessary to prolong this.scssion in the hope that the fortification bill will be disposed of. I know of no other business to detain us here except to give the president the nec essary time to examine these three appro priation hills. I see no Impediment in the way of providing now for an adjournment at ifi to-uight.” Ghace wanted the session prolonged until the hill reported from the post oil committee to extend the immediate deliv ery system should be passed. The adjournment resolution, modified to 10 to-night, was discussed for some time without anv conclusion being arrived at. Finally Edmunds moved to go into ex ecutive session, remarking that in the meantime something more definite as to an adjournment might be learned. The motion was agreed to and the senate at noon went into secret session. The doors were reopened ot 12:50 Upon motion of Eustis, the bill to de clare the forfeiture of the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg railroad com pany (the back bone grant) land grant was called Up for the purpose of making a special order for some day next December. Eustis moved that it be made the special order for the second Monday in December. Agreed to. A message was received from the ?nt returning in compliance with thi quest of the senate, the biil granting an in crease of pension to soldiers who lost an arm or leg in the service. The same ineas- ure was received back from the houfee with a verbal amendment, which, on motion, was concurred in. The bill was then re turned to the president. The senate then took up the senate bill extending the system of immediate deliv ery to all articles bearing an immediate d Edmunds as'ked Chaee if this law requir ing the immediate delivery of all articles received with an “immediate delivery stamp” would not relieve every bondsman of a postmaster from liability under his bond until a new one was made. Ghace said he could not answer the ques- — _ . tion as well as the senator himself could, animation show After some discussion the bill was pass- | by suffocation. ed Alli«on again called the adjournment resolution and offered an amendment so as to make the hour 10 o’clock to-night. Kenna hoped that action would not be forced on the resolution. Bills had just been sent to the president that he could not read in three days, among them the river and harbor bill, .which would re quire a day to go through it. He did not Snow that the president wanted an hour, whether lie wantol four or file da>.. propriations (which are thirty-three mil lions more than last year), there will be paid (\uringthe current fiscal'year one hun dred and seven and a half millions on the public debt, or within twenty-nine mil lions of all the debt that can be paid until 181*4. Judging from the past no detriment is likely to occur if this joint resolution shall become a law. By" this resolution ten million dollars in gold has been diverted and dedicated to the payment of United States notes for no other purpose whatever, so that keeping in mind that we are to have a law in this joint resolution which w ill prevent the power of the secretary of the treasury to touch one dollar of that hun dred millions, a law for the purpose of re deeming United States notes, and consid ering the fact that we had on the first, of August a surplus over and above that amount in gold money and bullion of about fifty more millions, we can apply one hundred nnd seven millions and a half in this fiscal year to the payment of the public debt. Beck and Edmunds dissented altogether from Allison’s assumption that by the joint resolution there was any dedication of a hundred millions or any change of law whatever in relation to the reserve for the United States. What the law in that re spect was before it still remained. Call declared that if he had supposed that the effect of the joint resolution would be to dedicate this hundred millions abso lutely to that purpose he would have voted against it. The conference report was agreed to without division, and the senate, rejecting a motion to go into executive session, ad journed till to-morrow at 11 a. in. ADDING TREACHERY TO HIS CRIME.

He testified that he saw hot li Spiesund Fielden on tlie wagon when tlie police arrived. He said lie returned to Zeph’s hall when the police began to shoot. Aug.

They went into Crane's alley to light their pipes ow ing to the wind that was blowing on the street. Krumni has red hair, but his face and head much resemble Spies. This tes timony, the defense expect, will offset Gilmer’s evidence. They will contend that Gilmer mistook Krumni for Spies and that the former instead of lighting a bomb was engaged in nothing more harm ful than lighting a pipe of tobacco. TURF NEWS.

Resolutions were passed to which many citizens objected as too radical and. incendiary. A protest was published yes terday, signed by nearly all the lawyers, hankers, merchants and business men ox El Paso. It reads as follows: “Wo, the undersigned citizensof El Paso believing Hint wc represent the voice of the conservative element, protest against so much of the resolutions adopted by the mass meeting last night as reflects upon our general government for inaction in tlie pending international question with Mexico and state that we have confidence in the intention and ability of our govern ment, and of the presort administration to protect American citizens abroad, and while we heartily concur in so much of said (resolutions os urge upon the gov ernment tile necessity of prompt and en ergetic measures to vindicate the rights of citizens of the United States in Mexico ani desire to call the earnest attention ot those in power to this most important matter, and while we pledge ourselves when necessary to hearti ly support our government in demanding: n"nd enforcing, even by arms, proper res pect of our citizens nnd our flag, we trust that all pending difficulties may be amica bly settled without a tarnish to either nation, and that the friendly relations now- existing may continue between the two republics.” Cutting was down-hearted yesterday for the first time since his incarceration.

He states the facts in the Cutting case to be as follows: “The best American citizens in New Mexico and in Texas condemn the agita tion. I did not find one intelligent Ameri can who docs not think Cutting ought to liavo at least five years in the penitentiary. He runs his paper at El Paso, lie had trouble with a ^Mexican at Pnso Del Norte, a Mexican town just across tho river from El Paso, and after it was over invented a vile slander against his enemy. Cutting was arrested and taken before a magistrate. He was allowed to free himself by making a written retrac tion of tlie libel, and he returned to El Paso. There he printed the libel in his paper in a good deal worse form than be fore in Spanish and took his papers ovcr__ to Paso Del Norte himself and sold them. Of course he was again arrested, and that is how he comes to be in jail. He is smart enough to enlist sym pathy and pose ns a martyr so ho can be come notorious and make money out of his notoriety.
