In tlie Hotifte Consideration of the Legisla tive, Executive and Judicial Bill Con t liiues—Congressiona 1 Matters and Washington News. Washington, May 24. —The Atlanta exposition subcommittee has taken no action on the main question at issue. Its members, however, did a good deal of talking about the alleged sale of the building at Chicago. It was decided that Mr. Livingston, its chairman, should communicate, further with the secretary of the treas ury. Mr. Livingston at once sent a telegram to that official asking him if the sale had been finally consummated, and if it had not, to hold the matter in abeyance until further representations could be made to him. There is a question as to whether the sale has been finally closed. After the proposition to purchase the bpilding for use at Atlanta was broached, it ap pears that the Chicago Salvage Com pany made an offer of $3,272 for it. Mr. O. O. Stealey, acting as the agent of the department, accepted the offer, and so notified Secretary Carlisle by tele graph. The secretary w r as absent and is still away. It is claimed on behalf of the Salvage Company that that Mr. Stealey’saction finally closed matters. But Mr. Liv ingston and other members of the ex position committee are not satisfied that such is the case. Mr. Gnr man Spraka. Mr. Kyle introduced a resolution in the senate whici went over till today declaring it as the sense of the senate that the United States should not use force for the purpose of restoring to the throne the deposed queen of tlie Sandwich islands or destroying the ex isting government; that the provisional government having been dnly recog nized, the highest national interests re quire that it shall pursue its own line of policy and that foreign intervention in the political affairs of those islands would be regarded as acts unfriendly to the government of the United States. The tariff bill was taken up at 10:30 o’clock Wednesday, the pending ques tion being paragraph 117, relative to railway bars of iron or steel. Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, withdrew the finance committee amendment and moved to make the duty seven-twen tieths of a cent per pound. Mi-. Gorman then addressed the senate. Mr. Aldrich replied to Mr. Gorman and was followed by Mr. Teller, who, as a test question, moved to lay the tariff hill on the table. The vote re sulted—yes, 28; nays, 38. The 25th page of the tariff bill has been reached, leaving 200 more to be gone over. In tlic House. The house at 12:30 again took up the legislative, executive and judicial ap propriation bill, Mr. Dearmond's amend ment to strike out the appropriation for the civil service commission being under consideration. Mr. Anderson, of West Virginia, of fered an amendment repealing the civil service law and the acts amendatory thereof. But it was ruled out of order. The paragraph of the bill transfer ring to the control of the civil service commission clerks detailed for duty therein went out on a conceded point of order that it was new legislation. A motion to strike out the paragraph appropriating $6,000 for traveling and other expenses of the commission was lost—s 4to 40. This closed the consideration of the civil service schedules, the net result being that the last paragraph only re mains in the bill, the appropriation for values for the commissioners and clerks having been stricken out yesterday. Notice was given that a separate vote will be called for when the bill is re ported to the house. Taylor Is Confirmed. The senate has confirmed the nomi nation of Charles 11. J. Taylor, of Kan sas, to be recorder of deeds in the Dis trict of Columbia. The vote was 34 to 15. Taylor comes from Kansas City, Ivan., and was appointed through the influence of Senator Martin, of Kansas. A bill has been introduced in the house by Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, re pealing the civil service law and all amendments to it. \r Counterfeit Five Dollar Note.

We pledge to the people of Alabama a continuance of the good government of our state affairs inaugurated by the election of George S. Houston in 1874.
