Washinstos, April 22 —Without ac tion on the Wallace resolution, tbe Senate resumed consideration of tbe bill. Mr. Garland Addressed the Senate. He quo ted the English law and commentaries thereon, showlDg the strict subordination to civil authority m which the military forced *re htid in Great Britain. He deprecated the exhibitions of sectional feeling, and did not believe that the country ctnld be prosperous so long m the old conflict between, dec* North and South ia used at eaol- rr ring Presiden tial election ns an i \ .rumentality of party success. Mr. Davis, of Illinois, followed, in favor of i oe pending bill. Ia the oourse of his speech' he said no man loved Mr. Lincoln better or honored his memery more than I do, nor hud nay one greater opportuni ties to learn the constitution of Hs mind and character, and his habits of thought. He waa large-hearted, wiser than thos6 sesoc'ated with him, fall of sympathy for struggling humanity, with out malic--, with charity for erring men, loving hts whole oouotry with a deep de votion, and intensely anxious to save it. B li“VlDg, as I do, that he was raised up by Providence for tbe great crisis of tbe war of the rebellion, I have tqaal belief, bad he lived, we wonld have been spared much of the strife of these latter days, and that we wool! bo on the high road to prosperity. Such * man, taking all forms of oppression, and deeply imbued with the principle that induced the men of 1776 to resist the stamp .tax, wonld never havo willingly entrusted power to any one, unless war was flagrant, to send troops to oversee an election. Allison addressed the Senate iu oppo sition to the bill, n J ; Iu the House the discussion was re sumed on the Legislative bill. - .i Washington, April 22.—The Pres ident, in making announcement of the death of Major General Dtx, which oc curred la,r night ia New York, commands co the people of the United States the great public service and patri otic record of hia military service.

Tho Louisiana Senators and Represen tatives are in daily receipt of letters from various sections ot tho country, asking in formation concerning the funded debt of tbst State, especially as to many para graphs m the newspapers saying it is the intention of the Ccnstitntional Convention now in session at Now Orleans to repudi ate the debt. Every member of the Loui siana delegation now in Washington dis owns tbe idea of the States repudiating its bonded debt, but they say the rato of In terest may be decreased to five por cant. t>a bon is known as Louisiana consols, at which rates they claim they will be as good as State bonde. They hold that the opposition to tbe payments of bonds comes from a class which pay no taxes, and not from those who have regard for tbo fntnre welfare of the State, and will have to bear its bnrdens directly. They eay if Louisiana or any Southern State expects capital to find its way there it muet meet its obligations honestly and honorably .and when the matter is properly presented to a constitutional convention there will be no doubt about its action. The Cabinet to-day discussed the Gov ernment’s interest m Alaska and adja cent waters. Tho general sentiment waB that the development of the conntry’e resources should be eneouragtd and that tbe seal and other far fisheries should be- protected where needed, and the Govern ment’s revenue therefrom closely watch ed. Tha expedition which it has been decided to send to Alaska w-ts talked over end the belief expressed that the results of the expedition would be very satisfac- tory.

London, April 23.—The Time* says LoriUard has backed Parole for the olty and suburban haudioap prior to bis New Market viotory. As tbe result he wins something over twenty thousand pounds. The general satisfaction at the victory of the plucky Amerioan, was fully proved by the volleying rounds cf cheers which aeoompanied Parole’s return to tbe enolo- sare. Another correspondent says. “Parole won on hia merits, without getting any thing approaching an advantage at the start or tarns in tbe oourse."

Washihoton, April 23—Tho House Oommitee on Railways and Canals to-day appointed a sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. Kimmel, Turner and Ford, to take in consideration the bill introdaaed by Henckle, providing for a ship canal to oonneot the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. The oommittee also discussed the pmctioability of making provision for the -reotion of bridges at Shreveport and Monroe, Louisians, in oomplianoe with many petitions on tbe subject. Aoall was Issued today by the Bocre tary of the Treasury for the balance of tho loan of 1868 five par stubs, amounting to $260,000. These bonds are all regis tered. The holders of these bonds may at any time within ten days exchange them for four per cents, at par, with in terest oomputed on ea«h class of bonds to the date of exobasge. If not ex changed they will be paid at the maturity of tbe calL In the House, the legislative bill being resumed, Robeson addressed the commit- tee. It had been stated, he said, on the Repnbliean aids of tbe House that they would vote for the repeal of these laws, provided the repeal was presented in an Independent section. That declaration had with or vritbont authority been per verted to mean that they were willing to vote tor the amendment, if it ware pre sented as a separate proposition. That waa not only a different proposition, bnt exactly an opposite position, because this amendment aid nothing more than repeal an exception to a re3trioing law and tbe repealing 'cf an excep tion to a restricting law so far from repealing the law itself actually eula.-ged and increased its scope. He thought it proper to make that remark so that the position en the Republican side might not be mis understood. He then made s lengthy argument in defense oi the Federal eleetien law* end in op position to the question of State rights, saying in the course, ot hie remarks: The government ot the United States was a government sovereign Mid supreme, ex- dueive in it* powers wherever those powars acted. It was n government with power to act directly upon their prop- ^Alr. Finley, of Ohio, followed ia favor of the bill. In the Senate Mr. WWiams spoke in favor of tbe bit', eaptoisly of Ibe seet'on forbidding the use of Ibe army nt the polls. Alluding to the presence of Coo- federate eaidtam ip Coeg^ss, Be mid h» wished tbe people of tho North had been animated by tbe seme wise polio; as their Southern brethren, end had sent their gallant soldiers to be their representa tive*, because if questions growing out of tbe war bad been laft for eolation to ibe biave man who bad foogbc in the war, tbe return of prosperity and the approach of reconciliation would have been hast ened. Jones, of Florida, followed in support of ihe bill. Toe South having been re stored to its place m the Ubion its people were anxtoas to oo-operate with the other sections of the country in restoring complete peace and prosperity every where. Its representatives being on terms of eqoality'with the representatives ot the other States, they have, from time to time, manifested their interest in the affairs of the nation, add after a long night of estrangement, they have come into the light of eDjoymont or rights conferred by tbe conatitmion. RelerriDg to the use of the army at tbe polls Jones said he had seen soldiers marched and conntermarched over hie little State,and, he etated as a fact, that a company of troops was marched from Fort Barranoas to Moviavam '77 to attend an election After the election he saw an offloer in his own town remain with the State officers until the returns from the voting pre cincts were eonvassea. There was uo neeeesity for troops at tho polls; there was no indication whatever of trouble and none was apprehended. And when there was so mnch interest everywhere conoerning the eleotoral vote cf Florida, troops were present, to sustain the vil- liany of the Returning Board, and which defrauded the people of their President. Mr. Jones spoke ot the changed con dition of the South under Drmocratiu rule; that there was now more thrift, the publio credit had been restored and there was moresaterpnae than under the domi nation of the Rsbabdoahs ; all tbepeo pie had been stimulated in improving their condition, and they had awakened to a new-bore seal for publio liberty and a determination to preaenre it; that the people were now satisfied with their State governments. Blaine gavenbtioe that he wonld renew his amendment to the 6 h section. He then read from tha testimony taken be fore the Teller committee in South Caro lina, that numbers of white men oame around the polls firing guns and fright ening colored men away. Mr. Butler, of-Soath-Carolina, asked Mr. Blaine if it worsen ot tree that within tbe last three dK^litflf acquittal had been ordered by the presiding judge Charleston county, in a case de pending an just snoh evidence as that just read. Mr. Biaine said he believed there had been a dismissal .upon a flaw in the in- diotment, bat Batter insisted that it was on tbe evidence. Mr. Blaine deolared that the eleotions In Sontb Carolina had lssen mere traves ties on eleotions. He also characterized unfavorably the elections in Louisians. Mr. Blaine asserted that there has never been a free elwction in fire South ern States he could name since the Demoeratie party got into power. There was no more a free election in Somh Carolina for this Congress than there would be in a mob of roughs who should capture the polls in the loqer districts of New York. Mr. Butler asked if thesa eleotion laws were not in the statutes book whan these travesties were carried oa. Mr. Blaine admitted that they were, but said the supervisors and marshals had beta mobbed and the Federal autuority defied. He based his statement on the testimony already referred to before the com mittee. Mr. Butler denounced the te-iitiony as faiEO so far as it related to South U.irol.n • and slid juries in his State hud sostaineo bis assertion. Yds, said Mr. Blame, and jury in Louisiana did sometoiug or other; there wa9 a pracefal eleotion there too, only forty or fifty men slaughtered and tbe jury accquittcd some of the mur derers. Mr. Jonas, of Louisiana, asked Lave to explain about these t-ials. n Louisiana. They were based upon the very testimony now referred tc - . June* wore obtained under the test oatb; the Uaited States distrist attorney conducted toe case, using the report of the Teller Commute as a guide in questioning wit neaBes, and the accused were acquitted, Showing that the testimony was worth' lass. Blaine then read testimony to the effect that the Republicans were not fair ly represented among the Commissioners of Elections appointed under .State jaw in South Carolina by Governor Hampton, and that tbo persons appointed as Re publicans were really Democrats in dis guise. Mr. Butler said be personally know ono of the Republican Commissioners in Charleston coamy, and asked if Blaine would deny that Col. Montgomery was a Republican. Montgomery, he said, was for two years or more presiding officer of the Republican State Senate. Biamo said he didn’t know anything about Mr. Montgomery, but would give way to tbs Ssnuor from Colorado, who did. Thereupon Teller read from tho testi mony before his oommittee, showing that whita Montgomery had once been a Re publican he bad ceaBed to cot with that party, and that the Board of Commission ers of which ho was one had passed a res olution that no Repnbliean manager of the election should ba appointed Butler BF.id ho could not answer for the potitioal character of raon proclaiming to be Rrpublioans. Blaine then enlarged on tha concentra tion of polling places in South Carolina, where it was sometimes necessary for vo ters to travel twenty or thirty miles to vote. He said tbe testimony showed systematic and willful fraud sgainst the right cf Buffrege. In tbe oourse of his remarks Blaine to;k oooBsion to declare that Senator Davis, who spoke yesterday, had no traditions! right to speak for Mr. Lincoln, and com mented nefavorabiy upon the Senatorial work cf Judge Davis. Washington, April 23.—A memorial signed by the pastors of tbe Methodist congregational and Episcopal Churches in Yankton, Dakota, was presented to the Senate to-day, in behalf of the Ponca Indians, who reoently made an attempt to escape from the Indian Territory and return to their homes in Dakota. The memorial sets forth that the climate of the Indian Territory is deadly to North ern Indians like the Poncas; that one- fonrthof their number hare already died; that they atilt own their reservation in Dakota; that they hare always been peaceable and friendly, and that they were moved against their wishes and un der protest from all their white neighbors. The memorial prays that they be allowed to return to their former home in Dakota, br at least a commission be sent to in ves- tigatsjtheir nnfertunate caso. Washington, April 23.—April returns to the Department of Agriculture show that the average of winter wheat is about twelve per cent greater than last year. This increase is due mostly to the trans fer of spring sowings to fall sowings in the WeBt and Northwest. Unless spring sowings increase beyond the present ex pectation there will be a reduced aggie gate of wheat average in 1879. Wheat in ground, taken ao a whole, is only two per cent below the average crop; in some sections it was unfavorably affected by the tall drought, and iu others by the ab sence of snow during the extreme cold. With average growing conditions it will make s very large crop of winter wheat. Riohxokd, April 23.—Tha bearing of the evidence in the second trial of John E. Poindexter for killing C. C. Curtis was concluded to-day at 2 p. m., when argu ment was begun and continued until 9 to-night, at which time th3 court ad journed till to-morrow morning. Two more speeches are to be made, tho last on the part of the defense and cloeiog ar gument of the prosecution. The ease will probably be given to the jary about 9 p. m., to morrow. Nxw Oblnans, April 23.-—The Consti tutional convention, after two hours’ de bate, passed a resolution similar to that eosvention of Impairing or restricting toe political, civil er rtligious rights of any class.
