Washington, June 8.—Henderson, of
Iowa, rising to a question of privilege,
stated that the remark made by him in the
colloquy with Wheeler, of Alabama, when
that gentleman was delivering a speech
attacking Edwin M. Stanton, had been by
some ‘‘mysterious mistake” misplaced in
the Record.
Wheeler stated that the misplacement
was entirely accidental, and he had no ob
jection to a correction being made.
On motion Reed, of Maine, the senate
bill was passed for the relief of Chester A.
Arthur and A. M. H. Robertson, late col
lectors of customs for the district of the
citv of New York.
Kelly. of Pennsylvania, callled up ns a
pi ivileged question the motion submitted
bv him yesterday to expunge from the
Record the speech of Wheeler,of Alabama,
upon Edwin M. Stanton. He based his
question of privilege on the constant, de
liberate and persistent abuse of the
order of the house by the represent
ative from the eighth district of
Alabama. In lieu of the motion made
yesterday lie submitted a resolution
reciting that Wheeler had been guilty of
a nise of the order of the house Inasmuch
as his speech had not been made upon any
pension bill, and declaring that as "the de
livery of the speech was without the sanc
tion of the house and in contrast of the
special order, said speech be expunged
from the Record and prohibiting the pub
lic printer from publishing it in pamphlet
or other form.
Reagan, of Texas, raised a point of order
against the resolution. The speech had
been made by unanimous consent of the
house, and therefore could not lie an
offense against the house.
The speaker replied that it was not :n
the province of the chair to decide whet her
it was an abuse or not. It was alleged to
be an abuse by the gentleman from Penn
sylvania, and the question was to Ih de
cided by the house.
Kelley then proceeded to sp.-alj nt
length and his remarks were listened to
witn great attention by the house. H<
was unwilling, lie said, that the future
readers of the record of the proceedings of
this congress should by any possibility l>c
able to suspect him of having sat by
through what must have involved three
hours' listening to slanders which hud been
refuted for twenty,’-live years, ’.mi many of
which were tow absolutely putrid
putrescent, on one of the most unselfish
of patriot.- the coup.tiy <o, r
produced and one of the- most beloved
friends he bad ever known in his long life.
He was unwilling that ho should be sus
pected of listening to the paper which
feebly regretted that in a moment of haul
its author had denounced Abraham Line', in
and Edwin M. Stanton as conspirators and
Stanton as an arch conspirator against tl
union, or of paiiicuiar American cit./.cus,
and as combining to thwart the success of
tiie union army. 11c was unwilling
Mat- posterity should be told
tarourrli the Congressional Record that the
republican party had sat quietly in the
hour.-, of midnight to hear these slanders
on Lincoln and Stanton poured out horn
by hour, and that no man, either repub]i-
ti-o or democrat, who had perilh d his life
under 1 lie administration of the war power
bv Lincoln and Stanton foi
the support of the union, should
have failed to say “these slanders
arc- now an offense to all honest, loyal un
ion men, have festered in heaps, breathing
noxious odors or been consigned scores of
years ago to the cesspools of gossip.” The
country owed something to the illustrious
dead, and he did not believe such scanda
lous matter as was embodied in twenty-live
column of this paper would be sent to
posterity with the sanction of the Ameri
can congress, which if it indicated its own
order, must declare that there was no war
rant for uttering the speech and none fur
declaring through the Congressional Re
cord that it had been made with the unan
imous consent of Uie house.
Kelly said that Stanton knew as early as
May, 1862, that he was assailed, and knew
that whether his life should be longer or
shorter, he wou'd he survived by jackals,
hyenas and ghiuils, who, seeking objects of
slander in tile grave would rehash the
scandalous stories that must bring pain to
his family and his friends.
Kelly then read slowly and with em
phasis a long letter dated May 18, 1S82,
from Stanton to Rev. Hammond
Dyer, a personal friend of long
standing. In the opening, Stanton
savs: “1 have been very well aware ol
calumnies being circulated against me in
New York and elsewhere respecting my
relations to General McClellan, but am
compelled from public considerations to
withhold proofs that would stamp the
falsehood of the accusations and the base
motives of the accusers, who belong to two
classes—first, slanderers who have been
driven from the department when
they were forging millions; sec
ond, scheming politicians, whose designs
are endangered by the earnest, resolute
and uncompromising prosecution of this
war as a war against rebels and traitors.”
He then makes a statement of the facts
on the official record concerning McClel
lan's campaign, in the course of which he
says McClellan never made a request or
expressed a wish that was not promptly
complied with if in the power of thi gov-
i i nment. He concludes his letter with the
following summary:
“The official records will, at the proper
ime, fully prove :
First—That I have employed the whole
power of the go Vermont unsparingly to
support McClellan’s operations.
Second—That I have not interfered with
or thwarted them in any particular.
Third—That the force detained from his
expedition was not needed and could not
have been employed by liiinj that it was
retained by express orders of the president
upon military investigation and on the
best military advice in the country; that
its rendition was required to save the oap-
ito! from the danger to which it whs ex
posed by a disregard of the president's pos
itive orders of the 6th of March.
Fourth—That between the president and
myself there never has been the slightest
shadow of difference upon any point save
the detachment of Franklin's force, and
that was a point of no significance, but in
which 1 was sustained by Generals Hitch
cock, Meigs, • Thomas ane Ripley, while
the president yielded only to an anxious
desire to avoid complaint, declaring at the
same time his belief that the force was not
needed by General McClellan.
“You will, of course, regard this expla
nation ns being in strictest confidence, de
signed only for your information upon
matters whore you nave expressed com
corn forme. The confidence of your-eY
and men like, you is a full equivalent for
all tlie railing that has been and
expanded agrinst me. and in the
tree of the eau.se uU merely iiu
h - eslion ■ are swallowed up.'
Kelly then read a .-hort ev'.n f
letter of General Grant to show the high
opinion which Grant held of Stanton’s
character, and he expressed liis surprise
that the rattling of the bones of Grant had
not disturbed the conspirators who had
claimed to have power to give unanimous
consent to the setting aside of the special
order last Friday night.
Immediately Wheeler took the floor on
a privilege question, and said that he
wished to correct some statements which
had been made regarding him which were
not true.
Tao speaker said a mere disagreement
between members as to the correctness or
incorrectness of what was said did not
present a question of privilege. If the
gentleman wus charged with having cor
ruptly or knowingly made a false state
ment, or with having made a statement
tortile purpose of misleading tlie house, it
did present a question of privilege. The
general course of the remarks made hv
the gentlemen from Pennsylvania had
been to show that the statement made by
the gentleman from Alabama were not
correct, but the chair did not remember
that the gentleman from Pennsylvania
had said that the gentleman from Ala
bama bad knowingly made a false state
ment.
Hepburn, Colorado, speaking to the
question of privilege, said while he didn't
concur in any one particular with Wheel
er's remarks, and should at the proper
time re-piy to them, he abjeeted to Kelly
use of the word “conspirator” as applied
to those who had listened to Wheeler's
speech, and maintained that it was per
fectly competent for Wheeler to make it.
Hu was not willing to put an indignity on
the gentleman from Alabama, when at
most he had only violated the good faith
of history, and possibly of truth, but none
of the rules of the house. [Laughter.]
McMillen, of Tennessee, and Anderson,
of Kansas, also denied a “conspiracy” and
maintained Wheeler's right to speak as he
did.
Morrison cut short further discussion by
moving to refer Kelly's resolution to the
committee on rules. Agreed to—72 to 52.
The bouse then went into a committee
of the whole on the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill. The bill
appropriates 820.060,119 against an appro
priation ol" 821,406,685 for the current y
Details of the Vote On Gladstone's Home
Rule Bill.

London, June 8.—The cabinet by a
unanimous vote have resolved to appeal to
the country. They held that by resigning
they would only prolong and complicate
an acute dispute which will be terminated
by a speedy dissolution of parliament.
THE VOTE ON HOME Kl'LE.
Ninety-four liberals and radicals voted
against the home rule bill. Thu majoiit.v
against the bill surprised even the union
ists. Several members supposed to favor
the bill went into the opposite lobby. The
crowd outside attempted to mob Lord
Hartington when he emerged from the
house after the division. Eighty-tive Par-
liellites vi'iteil with the government. The
eighty-sixth. Captain O’Shea, whom Par
nell insisted on having the league elect to
represent "ii - division of Galway, walked
out of the bouse and abstained from vot
ing. About twelve liberals refused to vote
on the division. The liberals who .‘(.ted
against the government a.e <al.'t to bo al
most idelitleal with those whose names
were prepared beiore the rteynt liberal
meeting at the foreign office.
The only members who were absent were
Charles i’eiham Millers, liberal member
for Southampton; Si: Frederick Mills, lib
eral me.uoei tor the Richmond division of
North Riding. Yorkshire; Fred W. Graf
ton, liberal member for the Accrington di
vision of Northeast Lancashire; Wm. Grey
Elks, for Macreager. conservative member
of South Antrim.
There is intense excitement throughout
the whole country over the outcome oftlie
long parliamentary contest. The con
servatives and whigs are every
where making a day of jubi
lee, ringing bells, lighting bunilres,
tiring cannon and singing “God Save the
Queen.” Dispatches from Ireland state
that at Belfast, Londonderry,' Ltirgun,
Armargh and other towns the loyalist
have bc. n stoned during their parades and
demonstrations, but up to a ime hour tins
afiern. .u no ease of lighting or extreme
vioh r.ce has b"eh reported. The weight of
opininion is that Gladstone will
dissolve the parliament on the 28th iust.,
and it is expected the elections wiii occupy
a mold!,, and that the new house will as
semble in lie- second week of August.
The result of the division was telegraphed

Springer, of Illinois, thougnt that before

undue prvtisanship they should be willing
to divide the classified service with the
democrats. Until the classified service was
half composed of democrats he thought
the gentlemen on the other side should be

Until this time the democratic- party would
continue to press the point
The civil service provision was further
criticised bv Gannon, of Illinois, and Me-

Uuinas' speech a colloquy occurred ,>e-

HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN

Dublin, June 8.—There is the wildest
enthusiasm among the loyalists in the '
north of Ireland over the defeat of the
home ruie bill. Rockets were sent up at J
Coleraine, county Londonderry, last night
announcing the news to adjacent towns,
and soon tiie news was known throughout
Ulster. Ten thousand loyalists paraded at
Lurgan this morning in honor of their vic
tory.

CIVIL SERVICE INTRUDING ITS HEAD.
Mr. Blount is to be the chairman when ,
; tin legislative bill is considered. Very ’
1 early in its consideration that is, begin
ning nt line-183 in a bill of 2500 lines the
civil service ghost will stall: inlo the

that when the
DIPLOMATIC HILL WAS DISCUSSED
Mr. McAdoo, of Jersey Citj , proposed an
rnicndineiO identical in purpose with the
above proviso. He wanted such parts ot
the monthly report of consular officers as
i r il:iiii novel persona) experiences of the
winters, portions of standard history,
legendary, romantic and other historical
episodes, descriptions of scenery, accounts
of royal and oilier courtly fetes, unneces
sary scientific disquisitions and indi'. iduaJ
opinion;: on political economy, should not
be printed al tbi public expense. In-
executive mansion; legislation protecting
government interests in tlie Pacitic rail
roads as far from settlement as ever;;
Blair educational bill (a little matter of
seventy-seven millions); increasing appro
priation to buy arms for state militia; pen
sion bills, general and personal claims
.without end); face ship bill and bill relat
ing to election of president and vice presi
dent in the senate.
THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL
the order of business by the appointment
of a cam us committee. The appropriation
bills are well in hand, and the diplomatic,
agricultural and army bills will probably
lie passed this week. To-morrow and Tues
day will lie devoted to clearing the calen
dar under the live minute rule, and con
siderable progress will lie made in that
direction.
In the house to carry out the plan of the
steering committee would require, first,
the consent oftlie democratic caucus to al
low its committee plenary power, and,
second, acquiescence on tlie part of the re
publicans in their programme. The day
may come when the lion and the lamb will
concur in joint sleeping arrangement, but
Unit day has not yet come to file partisans
oftlie house of representatives.
READY EOR PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
This is t lie day I be chairman of the com
mittee on enrolled Hills will again be wel
come at the white house. That is the
present understanding.
The shipping bill has to undergo criti
cism at t he treasury department before the
president would sign it, anyhow, and the
hundred or more pension bills now ready
may not lie signed at all, but become laws
at tlie exultation of ten days after he has
received them. The accumulated bills to
lie taken to the while bouse for the presi
dent's action are actually by weight more
than a strong man would care to carry
from the eapitol to the executive mansion.
The uncertain length of absence of the
president has increased the wait of the
members of the committee on enrolled
bills,

ibis morning by President Witter. Among
those present was congressman John F.
Farquhar, of Buffalo, an ex-president, who
was invited to a seat on the platform. He
made a .short address, in which Lie took
strong grounds against uniting with the
knights of labor, although, he said, he was
not hostile to [hat organization. President
Witter, in repiv. said there, was only a
smali portion of' the printers who were in
favor of such a move.
The election of officers was next ih

and William Ainasou, of Nashville, were
nominated for tlie presidency. A ballot

Ilax, but the general spring wheat pros-
pvis have already been blighted in con-
nmjiienee. Detailed reports from Minne
sota indicate that the average condition of
the growing spring wheat has been lower
ed from !b to F> per «*< nt. during ti e first
fifteen days. In Dodge county, the reports
indicate not to exceed nO per cent, of an
i \ erage crop of wheat, in isinte, Lend,
and Todd counties. the extreme dry
weather has causer, all tlie late giown
grain to look poorly. In Watona-
wan county, the crop is reported
to be dying' out, owing to tne con
tinued di.v went nor, and some fields
of rlnx have been ruined. In Mad'-lia
county the I hi k emp is threatened with an
absolute blight for want of rain. The
need of ruin is indicated from nearly all
portions of Kansas. In Cherokee county
t lie crop of oats has been almost totally,
ruin* (I. owing to lack of rain, while chinch
bugs are reported as having already occas
ioned serious injury. In Harper county
the outlook for both wheat and oats,which
had continued good, has completely chang
ed, owing to severe drouth, in Nebraska
and iowa t lie continued dry spell has al
ready caused considerable injury, but from
a majority of the counties the outlook is
still reported good for an average yield of
wheat.
Corn is up and looking wadi in both
states, but is beginning to show the need
of rain. In Henry and Johnson counties,
in Iowa, vast (plant ities of grasshoppers
have appeared. The same report comes
from Lokc- county, in Indiana, where they
are in s.ieh imrnb'-rsas to cause apprehen
sion. The general outlook for winter
wheat has not been changed from the
last previous report. Harvest has com
menced in Tennessee, Missouri and Ken
tucky, and flu* promise of a full average
yield has been fulfilled. In portions
of Missouri an unusually large yield is as-
:iured. Similar reports come from Indiana
and Ohio. In Michigan the approach of
harvest confirms Uie fears as to the crop
entertained early in 1 la* season. The state
will not produce to cxc ;ed 65 to 75 per
cent, of last, war's yield. The reports
from southern Illinois continue to indicate
serious injury from the presence of chinch
bugs. In Johnson county considerable
