Washington, April 18,1870.—Sir: The Postmas
ter General duly received yonr. favor of the 8th in
stant, in which were enclosed circulars issued by
one Bryan Tyson, intended to bo addressed to par
ties bidding for contracts for the transportation of
the mails, and which yon say have been scattered
broadcast in tbe Southwest, to the injury of tho
Department. Said Tyson having proposed by his
circulars to enter into a combination to prevent the
making of bids for mail contracts by other persons,
the Postmaster General has lately issued an order
to reject all bids submitted by Tyson. This is done
in conformity with tbe 28th section of tbe act of
July 2d, 1836—see statutes at large, volume 5, page
87, which provides tho only remedy for any injury
the Department may have received.

Tbe amendment ordering elections next fall for all
elective officers of tho State was withdrawn before

The Ohio Legislature is at the Mansion House, no

press ■ such domestic violence, and for that pur
pose he is authorized to employ tho military force
of the United States, and any portion of tho militia

cise all such powers and inflict such punishment as
may by the laws or other rules and articles of war
be exercised or inflicted, in case of insurrection or
invasion.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That so much
of the act entitled “An act making appropriations
for the support of the army, for the year ending

State of Georgia, be, and tho same is hereby re
pealed.

Tho Howard corruption investigation committee
heard evidence regarding the negotiation of con
gregational chnrch. It appears that tho Howard Uni-

sity under auspices of the Froedmen’s Bureau.
The President nominated Pinckney Ross collec

asserted that its early ratification is probable.
The proceedings to-day in the Sypher and St. Mar
tin case created intense excitement. Tho facts were:
St. Martin had over 12,000 majority, and that
Sypher received but 3000 votes from a constituency
of 30,000. When the first vote seating Sypher was
announced, he placed himself in the bar and the
Speaker had the book open to administer the oath.
The ceremory was interrupted by Brooks who cried:
‘The gentleman is a citizen of Pennsylvania.’’—
Another member charged that the seating of Sypher
was the seating of a creature with an iron interest.
The Speaker wonld hear nothing. Stiles moved to
adjorn. The votmg progressed, Sypher . gradually
losing strength. Tbe Democrats voted for the final
resolution as the best they could get. CoL Et. Mar
tin was heartily congratulated on the result.
The President appointed Edwin Downey post
master at Brownesville, Texas.
Tho Supreme Court adjourns Saturday, April 30

The House is considering the New York Post
Office bilk
The Reconstruction Committee report nothing.—
They await the action on Georgia.
Butler, of Massachusetts, introduced a resolution
abolishing the income tax, which was referred to
the Ways and Means Committee.
Tho New York postoffico was discussed two hours,
when the caso of Sypher vs- St. Martin, contestants
from Louisiana, was taken np. Kerr made a mas
terly effort in behalf of the peoplo of Louisiana.
Great interest attaches to tbo question, and the
vote will be taken to-morrow morning. The chances
seem to be that Sypher will not get the seat, and
St. Martin being declared ineligible, tho seat re
mains vacant
Senate—Mr. Sumner presented a memorial re
questing the land commissioner to provide home
steads for recently enslaved people.
Sir. Edmunds reported a bill enforcing the Fif
teenth Amendment
Georgia was resumed and Mr. Fowler proceeded
to read a written speech.
Chandler offered an amendment to the corruption
resolntion, directing tbo Committee on tbe Judi
ciary to inquire whether the rebels had attempted
to use corrupt influences to secure votes on tho
Georgia bill. Ferry objected, and tho motion went
over.
Chandler offered a resolution requesting tbe
President to appoint two commissioners to open ne
gotiations with tho peoplo of Winnepeg, with a
view to annexation.
The Georgia bill was resumed and discussed to
recess, with Schurz on tho floor.
8 p. if.—Tho 8enato reassembled at half-past 7.
A vote on tbo Georgia bill will doubtless bo reached
efore morning.
Schurz opposed tbo schemes of designing men
within tho Republican ranks.
Trumbull called attention to a recent speech made
to a crowd in this city by a member of tho Senate,
in which tho statement was made that the speaker
has reconnoitred the Senate and tho Bingham
amendment would bo defeated. He denounced
this as an attempt to intrudo upon the Senate.
Trumbull will probably speak an hour or two before
the vote will bo taken.
Washington, April 20.—House—Sypher is seated
by a vote of 78 to 73. There was much excitement.
Finally Farnsworth,who had voted “no."said ho had
not examined the report, hut would follow.the report
of tho Committee. He voted ayo. Two other
doubtful men then voted aye, amidst strong protest
from the democratic side. Speaker Blain sharply
reproved Farnsworth for unparliamentary action in
making remarks, while he was announcing his vote.
The ayes and nays are progressing on tbe motion
to reconsider the vote seating Sypher. There is a
bare hope that the vote will be reversed.
The motion to table the motion to reconsider was
lost—79 to 83. The motion to reconsider is now
progressing, which if carried will bring another vote
on the direct question. The probabilitos this mo
ment are rather against Sypher.
The vote to reconsider ia carried, 85 to 79. The
reporters in the gallery consider Sypher’s chance
very feeble.
Finally, tho House, by a vote of 95 to £8, voted
there had been no valid election in the First Louis
iana District. This voto was reconsidered, and the
motion to reconsider was tabled, which finally dis
poses of tho claim of General Sypher to a seat in
the House.
The Georgia bill, as amended by the Senate, was
referred to the Reconstruction Committee, with
several substitutes.
•Pending the resolution to inform Warmouth of
tbe vacancy in the First Louisiana District, the
House adjourned.
Senate nothing.
Committees nothing. ^
