Krlly'HDefense of Lincoln nnii Stanton—Wlirt ler (at Off from a Reply— Anoint of Oriler UuImmI Iiitlie House—Various Bills Baaseil liy the Senate. 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 wishes, l ilt at his suggestion it is accom panied by a written communication.

In the course of Me- Uuinas' speech a colloquy occurred ,>e- t vvet-n himself and Randall, in which Ran dall admitted that his admiration .for the civil service law had been somewhat tem pered on account-of the regulations under which it was executed.

Thomas Pender O’Connor, at about tilt , same time, said: “I rejoice tuat the ui- tit- 1 torship of intrigue and incapacity is now ended.” John Bright voted with the opposition. His example was followed by twenty Scotch liberals. HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN IRELAND. 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.

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 house. Twenty one thousand dollars are I ; appropriated for the pay of the three com- j minsioners, chiefexainiricv,secretary, - Hire e | clerks, one messenger and one laborer, j provided that Ibis appropriation slinil be available only when I be rules of t lie civil ; service commission are so framed us that t he names of nil applicants f -r official ap pointment from any one siati , found duly , qualified for examination and without re- : gard to age, shall he sent to tbe head of a department or other officer charged with making an appointment. Now, it happens 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.

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, A LACK OF RAIN Itoiliii’i's (iri'iitlj tit" Pi'ii"|ii*H tor (>'11011 ( ro|m in III, S|,ritlL - niirilt Mtllrs.

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.

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.
