Washington, May 1l.~The house con sidered in committee of the whole find I'sssed the hill providing: for the appoint- jiit-nt of a committee to ascertain and settle private land claims in the territories of V v Mexico and Arizona and the state of Colorado. Tne committee on elections submitted tlu- unanimous report of the committee on tlie California contested election oases. The report, which confirms the right of all the sitting members, was agreed to. The house then went into committee of the whole on the army appropriation bill Grosvenor. of Ohio, moved to strike out the appropriation for the judije advocate general’s department. He sail! that de partment decided eases without any knowl edge of the law, and that the system fol lowed by the department was outrageous. It was an excresenee on the army, adding to it nothing of grace, nothing of justice, m thing of martial efficiency. If it fell to day in one year nobody would reniem- Ivr except to point to it as a monument of the greatest error that had ever existed in the army. This motion and Grosvenor’s remarks started a long political debate, at the end of which the motion to strike out was lost—S2 to 92. Fending further action the hour of 5 o'clock arrived, the committee rose and the house adjourned. SKXATK. The chair laid before the senate an in vitation from the grand arely of the repuh ■ lie, department of the Potomac, to partic ipate lathe memorial ceremonies at Arling ton on decoration day. Monday, May 31st.. Laid on the table. Hoar presented the memorial of the re- j ubiiean central committee of Ohio, charg ing that the election of Hon. Henry B. Payne to the United States senate was se cured by bribery, fraud ami corruption, and requesting teat the senate investigate the matter. Referred to the committee on privileges and election!:. A number of petitions were presented and referred playing congress to enact ltgisi ation against‘’oieoniargoiine. After the routine morning business, the inter-state commerce bill was taken up and its consideration resumed. Morgan formally offered Ms amendment to punish by fln< and imprisonment, men who conspired to stop or interfere with the running of trains engaged in inter-state, commerce. Morgan said mi- was a neces sary precaution. While congress had in hand the regulation of aommei ct. between the states, it should see that travel between the states should be kept free, ft was a right of the whole * people to in s'-t on a free interchange of emimree. Whatever t ailed to interfere with commerce, whether the raiiroucl com pany, mob or conspiracy of indi ’duals, a as something that co egress should rve .i- lare. and ccngiess could not escape tliis i...ly if it undertook *o do •*>• yt• in,, a; . u in connection wi.li mterstat.. e 'U'n-i".';.

Finally the amendment was laid on the table—yeas 49. nays 3. The negative votes were those of Dnlph, Edm units and Morgan. Brown offered an amendment providing Ft the- punishmen t of persons injuring the property of railroad companies—tracks, bridges, cars, eto. The amendment would uvike it a felony to maliciously injure such property, and if death resulted from the ;| jury, then the offense should constitute uiiirder. The amendment was laid on the t ,'i.e. Considerable debate then arose on an amendment of Plumb’s, offered for him in I is absence by Ingalls. It is the amend- 1 ■ lit of which Plumb some lime since gave "'dice, prohibiting members of congress, officials of the government and their fanu- hes Irum accepting free passes, and piro- lui.iting the railroad companies from buying them such passc-s or reduced rates. To this Teller ottered an amendment I'l'eliibiting any of the subsidized railroads Irom giving free passes. Edmunds said if Teller would extend the provisions of his amendment so as to cover not only subsidy roads, but coming within 'he purview of the act, he Edmunds) would favor it. Teller modified the maenciment. Considerable opposition was shown to this amendment, and on motion of Logan it was laid on the table. 9ome discussion arose as to the effect of vp' hill on clergymen, and to avoid doubt, brown secured an amendment providing that the restrictions of the bill, as to re- 'lu .i'd fares, should not apply to ministers ( • religion. Edmunds secured a similar amendment as to agricultural conventions and army society meetings. An amendment offered by Spooner was agreed to, applying tlie word "unlawful” to , the discrimination condemned by the pul. so as to bring breeches of its provis- iyi'- whhin the technical meaning of the tliuise. file bill was finally ordered reprinted as amended, and failing to arrive at any con vulsion as to when a vote should be taken, the senate at 6:25 adjourned. M('Knurl's From the President. Washington, May 11.—The president eat to congress to-tinv a message calling ' ’mtmii to the condition of affairs e? ' - >g m t tali owing to the governor of tv if , l :™ory vetoing the last appropriation ' '.'''Inch appropriated money for the sup port of schools, courts, charitable instil u- ons, etc., referring to the fact that under . ’ existing law tlie legislature cannot wuene for nearly two years, and reeom- nii nib"^ the speedy enactment of such i fell, at ion as will authorize the assembling of the legislature at an early day. Also, a i message recommending congress to make j mi appropriation to defray the expenses I of the inauguration of the Bartholdi statue. Also, n messaget nelosinga communication ticm Secretary Bayard upon the Weil and { la Abril treaty. Bayard calls attention to the j fact that under the decision ofthe supreme j court he has authority to withhold the ! payment of awards pending supplemental negotiations between this country and Mexico, and to the rejection by tlie senate i of the supplemental treaty. To relieve the action of the government from any ambiguity of the legislative party or the 1 executive from any uncertainty as to In line of duty in relation to the awards, lie suggests that tlie attention of congress la- 1 earnestly invited to the present Hiatus of the claims, and the duty of the executive to carry out the terms of the existing treaty in case the two houses adjourn with out further action. Willl'lllmi IViikIiiii lllil-. | Washington", May 10.—It is reported that the president is giving much atten tion to the great mass of pension bills which were laid before him last week. The Record shows that they were rushed through with great rapidity, and the pres ident seems to think, as democrats rep irt, that the most of the hills received vu> little attention. He is therefore likely to ask for copies of the reports made in each case, with a view to giving each a closer , examination than it received in congress. hi Hr Dirlcih'l. Washington.

The cow showed no signs of being mfeefed by the wound, and it was thought that hydrophobia would not result. Yesterday, however, tlie animal showed tiie dreaded symptoms, and at the same time tlie farmer’s two lit tle children who had been nourished with the cow’s milk exhibited similar symptoms and are in a critical condition, suffering most terrible agonies. Other members of tlie family are also ill, but their symptoms are not so alarming as those ofthe chil dren and some hope is expressed that they may recover. WASii ! xgt* N.

Lonpon, May 17.—Tin* Time* sues Glad stone is mysteriously and surprisingly silent witji regard to the treatment of Flsier. Th*- Standard Says there is absolutely in'thing in Gladstone’s laborious references in regard, to Irish representation at West minster, whieh is likely to abate C’luiinber- b.ill's hostility to the home rule bill. Tlu* absurdity of the devices which Glad stone hinted iflight meet the difficulty ex posed a fundamental weakness of concep tion. The Telegraph savs: It seems that Glad- si one is so al).sorb||n ill contemplation of the merits of hisWvn project that lie is un- abh to appreciate the import of tlie ob jections oFehaniberlain and his followers, who cannot possibly accept his conces sions. The Staiulered hears that Merely mid other cabinet ministers refuse to agree to a further modification of the home rule bill t<> suit the radicals. The fact was commented upon in the lobby of the house of commons last night that while Gladstone made sympathetic reference to Hartingtoii, he avoided mention of Cham berlain. The Pall Mall Gazette this afternnon savs that Gladstone’s speech last night made bad worse and settled the fate ofthe home rule bill. It adds that Henry La- bouchere, who had acted as intermediary between Gladstone and Chamberlain, lmd informed the latter that the premier was willing to make adequate concessions in order to secure the support of the radical leader and his adherants. Tlie speech did not bear out this promise in the wav it had been accepted by Chamberlain, and the Gazette*.* says be was astonished and dis gusted and openly declared in the lobby of tlie house ofeonunonsthat he had been mis led and would now opposgthe Gladstone bill tooth and nail. The St. James Gazette says there is no longer anv doubt that “the disruption Dili * Gladstone’s home rule measure has c* .1 lapsed. The Globe asserts that there is less chance now than ever of the home rule M!! passing its second rending. Tin* Echo declares that Gladstone’s bill i** virtually doomed. 1 r«*la 11 il.

He left his wifur in KUeiiville. and was to send for her to ' join him in Sparrow-bush this week. Ilis ' wife was a widow w hen she married him, and hrd a daughter, who grew to he a handsome young woman. Four years ago the daughter married William Si.se, a cur rier, and some time ago Mr. and Mrs. Si.se , came t*> Sparrow bush, Sise having accept ed a situation in Hammond Brothers* tan- i in ry lure.
