Tiie Vanderbilti seem determined to
occupy palatial residences In New York.
On a plot of twelve lots, comprising the
whole front of the west side of Fifth
Avenue between Fifty-first and Fifty-
second streets, with two lots In the rear
on each street—bought by Mr. Win. H.
Vanderbilt in 1678 for $500,000—stand
two coropanirn houses, the most costly
dwellings ever built in New York City,
the pair costing $1,000,000. The southerly
house, slightly tlic larger and the more
Imposing of the two, will he the future
home of Mr. Wm. H. Vanderbilt; tbe
other one is designed for his two married
daughters. Wm. IL Vanderbilt’s young
er son, Mr. Wm. K. Vanderbilt, has just
enclosed a house built on fire lots on the
North-west corner of Fifth Avenue and
Fifty-second Street. It is a very ornate
structure, with front aud sidewalks of
heavy cut stone. In 1878 Cornelias, tho
son and heir of Wm. Q. Vanderbilt,
bought for $.125,000 the residence of Mr.
Bigelow,on the North-west comer of Fifty-
seventh Street and Fifth Avenue, and for
$110,000 the adjoining house, belonging
to Mr. Louis Lorillard. These houses he
demolished and on the site erected a mas
sive house, with stone trimmings.
The Charleston Jetties.—Like
New York, says tho Sun, Charleston is
built upon a narrow strip of land, sur
rounded on all sides by deep water, and
its possible extent of wharfage ispractical-
ly unlimited. The sea is but five miles
away, and the only thing that places tbe
city at a disadvantage compared witb
Northern ports is the bar at the mouth of
the harbor, which limits access to vessels
drawing not over seventeen feet of water.
The two jetties which are being construct
ed by the Government are expected to re
move this difficulty. The north jt-Uy,
which will he 11,000 feet in length, has
been completed to a height of about
seven feet for two thirds of the distance,
and the south jetty, which will have a
total length of 8,000 feet, has received the
first courses of stone for about one-third
that distance. The work is under the
direction of Capt. J. C. Post, U. S. A.,
who Is hopeful that when completed it
will give at least twenty-six feet across
the bar. So far, over half a million of
dollars hare been appropriated for the
work, and if ne delay occurs in the future
appropriations, the entire work can be
finished within the next two years, and at
a coat of something less than the original
estimate of $1,800,000. , t ;
Miss Bernhardt’s wardrobe (theatri

LETTER PB0M Jf BAYABD. j
Bleeding Phelpi, Dodge & Co. ,
WASHtNOTO.v, December i 2.—The pub
lication in tiie Philadelphia Press signed
by C. A. Arthur, Iloscoe Conuling, George :
L. BouLwcll, and Noah Davis, dated New 1
York, Nov. 29tli, 1880, but not published .
until December 11th, renders it proper j
that the subjoined letter should also he j
published.
The dates of these letters, and tlielr
contents, fully explain them, and no other
correspondence lias passed between anv
of the signers of the card in the Press aud
myself.
Mr. F. A. Burr, one of the editors of
the Press, had received in Philadelphia a
letter from mu prior to November 20th,
in which I staled the falsity aud malice of
the report of my speech at Dover, which
had been published In the Press ol Octo
ber 30th. After the loregolng correspond
ence, no furlherstatement on my part was
deemed necessary. An interval ot nearly
three weeks elapsed before the parties
published tho card alluded to, in which
they denounce as false the alleged report
of the speech which weeks before I had
stated to he untrue. These fads are sub
mitted to the judgment of all honorable
men. (Signed) T. F. Bayard.
Washington, December 12.—Senator
Bayard makes public the foregoing state
ment, together with all the correspond
ence that has passed between himself and
Senator C'onkling, in relation to tiie state
ments reported 'to have been made by
Mr. Bayard iu his Dover, Delaware,
speech in October last. Tiie first of the
accompanying letters referred to is dated
Utica, N. Y., November 13tb, from Mr.
Conkling to Mr. Bayard, in which lie in
closed a clipping from the Philadelphia
Press of October 29ih, aud asks Mr. Bay
ard whether be made this statement in
form or substance, ard remarking, “it is
haidiy necessary to add that this iuqulry
is not w<*aut to imply that 1 suppose you
.did or would make such an utterance. My
purpose is only to adopt the most natural
and convenie it method to set right an in
justice greater, perhaps, to you than to
others.”
To tlds Senator Bayard, replying under
date of Wilmington, Delaware, November
15th, says: “Beading for the first time the
extract you sent me, it appeais to ue so
grossly inaccurate as to cause the belief it
could not have been written by an honest
person. I remember well speaking of tiie
case of Phelps, Dodge & Co., aud the pro
ceedings under which a great sum of
money ($270,000) was wrongfully taken
from their pockets. I described and de
nounced, in severe terms, ‘the moiety
system’ and the share which in this case
accrued to the collector, surveyor and
naval officer, and to the informer (Jayne
or Uerve,) and stated that ‘tiie senior
Senator from New York, Mr. Conkling,
was understood to have received compen
sation as their counsel from Messrs.
Arthur, Cornell and Loftiu for his services
aud assistance in the transaction.’ Also
tliat my authority for tins statement was
derived from a document published by
one of tbe houses of Congress, accompan
ied by testimony and statements made in
open debate on the floor of the House,
and never to my knowledge contradicted.
I believe 1 also referred to a publication
by William P. Wood, an cx-treasury offi
cial, made in tire New York Sun, October
27th, 1880, giving liis account in full of
the case*
“This I believe to be the forfti and sub
stance of that part or the speech in ques
tion which had auy reference to you or
tlic moiety system.
“1 shall be surprised to learn there is
any error of fact in my statement, and
shall regret if the slightest injustice has
been done to you, and it there has been,
will feci myself lound to apply tlic proper
remedy when my error has been disclosed
to me.”
To this response, which was unsatis
factory to Mr. Conkling, he replied at
length, saying, in the course of his letter
“Your response to a plain and warrant,
able Inquiry Is me which does not meet
the inquiry, but consists chiefly of allega
tions far different and, thougli less inju
rious, offensive aud uutrue, basing them,
you say, upon publications aud state
ments of which I have no knowledge.”
Under date of Nov. 21, Senator Bayard
closed the correspondence hy reviewing
the case, repeating his assurance that
prior to Coukliug's calling his attention to
it, he had never seen or heard of the ex
tract in questiou, and renewing his belief
that the extract was so crossly inaccurate
as to cause the belief that it could not
have been written by an honest person.
In closing his letter, Senator Bayard says:
“Tiie publication to which I made refer
ence, of which you say yon have no
knowledge, which relates to your alleged
connection with the case of Phelps, Dodge
& Co., ycu will find iu the testimony of
Wm. E. Dodge, page 220. aud of Hon.
Noali Davis, at pages 240 and 248 of
the House Miscellaneous Documents, No.
204, of the first session of the forty-third
Congress.”
Philadelphia, December 13— The
Press says, to-day, of Mr. Bayard's state
ment ; “Mr. Bayard says a stall corres
pondent of the Press received a letter
from him iu which he stated the falsity and
malice of the report of his speech. This
is true. Tiie letter was private, and con
tained other matters. When that state
ment was communicated to tho editor of
the Press, the staff correspondent was
authorized to say to Mr. Bayard that the
Press would gladly print whatever he
might say on the subject. To that sug
gestion ho response was made. Since Mr.
Bayard now speaks of tho report of his
speech as an ’anonymous communication,'
so irresponsibly made, it is due to troth
to say that it camo from a thoroughly re
sponsible source, and that it was a verba
tim report. Pains have since been taken
to verify it, and its authenticity is confirm,
ed not merely by tho reporter who mado
it, but by many citizens of Dover who
heard the speech and whose attention was
particularly attracted at the time by the
extraordinary character of this accusa
tion. The case will not be complete until
this testimony i» presented.”
Compliment to Col. McClure—His
Opinion of the South.
This office received last evening a most
agreeable visit from Colonel Alexander
K. McClure, editor and founder of the
Philadelphia Times, one of the ablest and
most conservative of all our Northern ex
changes. Colonel McClure, whose policy
upon Southern matters lias been most
manly and assuring for some time past,
is taking a trip throughout tho South _ to
get acpuainleu with her people and satisfy
himself about the condition ol affairs
here. He comes among us as a liberal,
observing gentleman, a deep thinker and
a wise journalist, and is prepared to prove
after traveling through several Southern
States, that this section, financially and
politically, is upon a most practical and
promising plairorm.
Colonel McClure is of the opinion that
our people are increasing in importance
and influence, both at home and abroad.
We are proving by our conservatism and
our commerce the sincerity of our senti
ments and the permanence of our institu
tions. Sectionalism, wiiich was artificial
ly stimulated daring tho late campaign,
is fast dying out at the North, whoso
merchants, anxious to resume commercial
relations with a prosperous section, are
desirous of drawing party lines upon
purely business issues. Colonel McClure
acknowledges that he has been surprised
at the amount of industry and thrift cx-
liibited hy “the new South.” lie expesses
every hope in tiie perfection of her educa
tional endeavors, her agricultural institu
tions and her manufacturing interest.
He has especial reason to he pleased, he
sayf, over the prospect In Georgia, which
shows herself pre-eminently “the Empire
Slate of the South.”
Colonel McClure made numerous in
quiries about tiie great and growing man
ufacturing importance of Augusta, of
which bn has heard much, and would j
have been pleased to remain over in our j
city did not business engagements call ,
him off. Our people would be pleased at j
any time to entertain so distinguished a
visitor among them.—Chronicle und Con
stitutionalist.
An exchange inquires anxiously
“What are we coming to?” Wo do not
know. Christmas it near at band aud we
are more interested in guessing what’s
coining to us.
Proceedings of Congress.
Washington, December 13.—In the
House, Mr. Townsend, of Ohio, presented
the credentials ot E. B. Taylor, as mem
ber-elect from t! «? nineteenth district of
Ohio (Garfield's district).
Tiie credentials having been read, Mr.
Hurd, of Ohio, objected to Mr. Taylor’s
behigsworn in, and moved that the cre
dentials be referred to the committee on
elections. '*'
Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, asset! on wliat
grounds.
Mr. Hurd stated that on the loth of
May, 1878, a law had been passed by tbe
Ohio Legislature creating tiie nineteenth
district. _
Mr. Butterwortb, of Ohio (interrupting)
—“The certificate of election is regular on
its face, is it not?”
Mr. Ilurd—“I take it that it is not.”
Proceeding, lie said that General Garfield
had been elected from the nineteenth dis
trict, as it had been composed under tho
law of 1878. In I860 the law of
1878 had been repealed, and
a new district created. The ground
upon which Taylor rested Ids claims was
that the vacancy which had been created by
the resignation of Garfield from the old
nineteenth district .might he filled by
an election hail within the territory
which had formerly composed that district.
This, claim he submitted was without
foundation. Garfield’s resignation could
not occasion a vacancy in that district,
and, therefore, on tho face of tbe certifi
cate, it was patent that Taylor had no
right to sit in the House. The whole
trouble was with the Legislature of Ohio,
which had passed a law whereby 380,000
people would have fifteen representatives
in the next C'ougreas, while 300,000 would
only have five representatives, without
making any provision for vacancies. Let
the Legislature of Ohio bear the blame
and let not the House scat a man elected
from a district which lias no existence.
Mr. McKinley argued that, assuming
that there was any force in the objection
made by his colleague (Mr. Hurd), the
member-elect had a prima facie right to
his seat. The objection should go to tiie
committee on elections, but in the mean
time the member-elect should not be de
prived of his right to represent the nine
teenth district.
Iu tho Senate, a resolution offered by
Mr. Vest, instructing tho civil service
committee to inquire into the propriety of
such legislation as shall require the filling
of vacancies In tiie signal corpi above the,
rank of sergeant by appointment from the
nary or by promotion iu the corps, led to
a general discussion as to tho methods of
the signal bureau. Mr. Edmunds held
that the bureau was originally in tlic mil
itary department, and “so long as it re
mained so its head should he a military
officer. Mr. iVest thought that natal
officers were by training belter fitted fur
such duties. The service was no longer!
especially nfllilary. Mr. Maxey oppose,,
any cliauge in the present arrangements
Tho motion was finally amended, on mo
tion of Mr. Edmunds, so that the inquiry
shall be made by the committee on mili
tary affairs, aud thus amended was
adopted.
Washington, D. C., December 13.—
Tn the House, after some further dis
cussion, Mr. Hurd withdrew his objection,
and Mr. Taylor liaviug qualified moved
that the credentials he refeircdto tiie com
mittee on elections, which motiou was
agreed to.
The Speaker then proceeded to call the
States for bills and resolutions, under
which call a number were introduced ami
referred, among which was a resolution
by Mr. Crapo, of Massachusetts, declaring
the policy of the United States in regard
to the inter-oceanic canal. It is as follows:
Besotted, etc., That the construction
of an inter-oceanic canal connecting
the waters of tiie Atlantic and Pacific, by
means of foreign capital under the auspi
ces and through a charter from any
European government, is hostile to the
estabiishe 1 policy of the United States,
is iu violation of the spirit ard
declarations of the Monroo doctrine, aud
cannot be sanctioned or assented to by
this government; that the Uiiited
States will assert and maintain sucli
control and supervision of any inter,
oceanic canal as may be necessary
to protect its national interests aud means
of defense, unity and safety, and to ad
vance the prosperity and augment tiie com
merce of the Atlantic aud 1’aciiic States of
the Union.
He desired to have it referred to tiie
committee on loreign affairs, hut tills mo
tion was opposed by several members, who
desired to have it sent to the committee
on inter-oceanic ship canals.
Mr. Cox, of New York, chairman of tiie
committee on foreign affairs, did not much
care to what committee the resolution
went. The foreign affairs committee hail
reported already a resolution on this sub
ject, and the American Republic was dis
graced because the American Congress
had not acted on that report. Let tiie
House fix some time to consider that re
port anil notify Mr. DcLesseps that tho
American people were still alive.
Mr. King, of Louisiana, chairman of the
iuter-oecauic committee, moved that the
resolution be referred to ills committee,
and argued that that was the proper com
mittee to which to send it. A somewhat
similar resolution hail been reported to the
House by that committee, and it was to
the shame of the Amciican people that no
action had been taken upon it. Ue now
held that report in Ids hand, and if per
mission was granted he would'now put it
on its passage.
This being out of order, a vote was taken
on reference, and Hie House, by a voto of
94 to 04, referred the resolution to the for
eign affairs committee.
The call of the States was then re
sumed.
By Mr. O’Conner, of South Carolina, a
bill repealing export tax en tobacco, snuff
and cigars, and also a hill for the construc
tion of a ship canal across Charleston
Neck.
Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, offered tiie fol
lowing resolution, which was unanimous
ly adopted:
Besotted, That the sympathy of this
House is hereby extended to the unhappy
laboring doss in Ireland, iu its cflbrts to
effect a reform in the present oppressive
tenant system prevailing in that country.
Mr.' Lowe, of Alabama, asked leave to
ofEsrjt resolution reciting that the laws of
several States regulate within their juris,
diction tho exercise of the electoral fran
chise, and that such regulations, particu
larly in the States of Khode Island, Mas
sachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Vir
ginia and Georgia, are claimed to be rc-
Ltrictious on the electoral franchise, and
providing for the appointment of a com
mittee to examine into matters in relation
to the exercise of tiie electoral franchise
in the several Slates, as fat as the same
mayho in violation of the constitution.
Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, objected.
Mr. Bicknell, of Indiana, called up the
electoral »unt resolution. Mr. F. wood
said that, seeing no possibility of a speedy
termination of the pending debate, he
would move that the House go into com
mittee on the funding bill. Mr. Bicknell
stated that he proposed to conclude the
debate to-day. Mr. Wood gave notice
that atter to-day ho would insist on the
question being taken up on his motion.
Thu House resumed tiie consideration of
the electoral count resolution, and at 5
o'clock It adjourned.
Tn the Senate, on motion of Mr. Ran
dolph, tho bill for tho relief of Fitz John
Porter was taken up hy a party vote, ex
cept that Mr. Hoar voted aye.
Air. Randolph offered the ameudraent
announced by him a few days ago.
Mr. Edmunds moved to amend by lim
iting to one year from the passage of the
hill tiie time within which Porter’s resto
ration to lie army can be made, so that if
the President or the next Presi
dent should not see tit to restore bint,
the hill should not live until future ad
ministrations. This was rejected by a
party vote, except that Mr. Davis, of Illi
nois, ami Air. McDonald, of Indiana, voted
aye.
Mr. Carpenter then argued against the
power of Congress to revoke tiie sentence of
a court-martial or reinstate persons in the
army who have been expelled.
Debate was continued at some length,
ill which Messrs. Edmunds, McDonald,
Hereford, Thurman aud Voorliees par
ticipated.
At 4:10 p. m. tiie Senate went into ex
ecutive session, and, when the doors were
reopened, adjourned. *

Jones introduced a bill In the Senate to
day authorizing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to purchase all lands he may deem
necessary anjacent to the site occupied by
the public buildings Ialelv destroyed by
fire ,iu Pensacola, aud to erect suitable
fire-proof public buildings thereon. The
bill appropriates two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars for the purpose.
Commissioner Uaum to-day sent the
following telegram to Collector Woodcock,
at X&shville, Temi., aud Collector An
drew' Clarke, at Atlanta; “During the past
week five United States officers
hare beeu killed or wounded by
illicit distillers. This demonstrates
the necessity of requiring your officers op
erating against illicit distillers to carry
their ureeeb-loading arms, aud having
posses of officers so large as to deter resis
tance. You are authorized to employ ten
additional men if necessary.” In reply to
a message of inquiry, Woodcock tele
graphs: “Davis is not dead. His skull is
broken in two piaffes, aud he is shot iu the
thigh. I Will not take steps to increase
my force until I learn further particulars.
I think tbe resistance was not precon
certed: The sheriff's posse is in pursuit of
the VVelchs.”
Washington, D. C., December 14.—
In the Senate, Air. Edmunds introduced a
bill to revive the court of commissioners
outlie Alabama claims.
Mr. Morrill offered a resolution in
structing tiie committee on postofliens and
post roads to enquire whether or not, ex
isting telegraph lines largely Inter
fered with tiie postollice department, and
whether tlic telegraphic service should be
placed exclusively in the hands of the
general government. Agreed’ to.
Mr. Saulsbitry announced that on
Thursday he will ask the Senate to take
up the resolutions declaring Kellogg not
entitled to a seat in the Senate.
Mr. Hoar remarked that tho Kellogg
resolutions bail been made inoperative
by'the death of Mr.Spofi'ord. The creden
tials of the new claimant, Mr. Mauuing,
had been referred to tho committee on
privileges and elections, with instructions
.o consider them. It was the duty of the
.committee to report ou those credentials.
Mr. Saulsbury said tiie Manning cre
dentials would be considered in 'proper
course. There were two resolutions now
on tlic calendar—one unseating Kellogg,
the other seating Spofford. Tho latter
was of course inoperative, but tho former
remained for action.
Mr. Hoar thought it improper to con
aider the resolution unseating Kellogg
separately. It was merely an incidental
resolution to the one declaring Spofford
to he Senator. Did Mr. Saulslniry intend
to force this important matter on the Sen
ate just before the Christinas holidays,
when the body was thin..
Mr. Saulsbury said he did not intend to
force the matter, hut to get it before the
Senate as soon as possible. Perhaps
there would bo no Christmas holiday va
cation.
Mr. Blaine suggested that it bo now
decided whether there should he or not.
The Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Beck)
was reported to havesaid that there would
not he.
Mr. Beck said that, speaking for him
self, he was opposed to an oxteiided vaca
tion, In view of the important public
business before Congress, such as tlic
refunding, census, appropriations, ques
tions as to navigation and tariff laws, etc.
Ue wished every working day to be util*
izod, so that there should lie uo neod of
au extra session, which he believed was
not desired by tiie business men of the
country. He did not know whether his
views were shared hy others.
Air. Edmunds suggested that the Kel
logg resolutions ho made tho order for tiie
second day after the meeting of tiie Sen
ate after the recess. There was need of
carelul debate ou them.
Mr. Saulsbury said he had merely an
nounced his desire to have the resolutions,
taken up on Thursday. The Senate could
vote on Ids resolution then, aud further
discussion now was needless. Tho sub
ject was thereupon dropped.
In the House, Mr. Money,of Mississippi,
chairman of the committee on’post-otliccs
and post roads, reported back a resolution
recittug allegations that there is detained
in the Washington City post-office certain
bags of mall matter which, though con
taining unbankable matter,were attempt
ed to bo sent through tbe mails under
frank, and calling on the postmaster-gen
eral for information as to the detention of
such mail matter. Ue also reported an
amendment catting ou the samo officer for
information as to the abuse of the frank
hy members of Congress or the loan of the
frank to any person.
Mr. Singleton, of Illinois, opposed the
resolution, which was adopted, together
with the amendment.
Mr. Alorton, of New York, introduced
a hill to incorporate the Maritime Canal
Company of Nicaragua, aud It was re
ferred to the committee on commerce.
[It names as the incorporators of tiie
company U. S. Grant, E. D. Morgan. U.
J. Jewett, W. II. Garrison, Howard Bat

iam Dcunison, and provides that the capi
tal stock of said company shall consist of
not less than 500,000 nor more than one
million shares of one hundred dollars
each].
Air. Bicknell, of Indiana, called up the
electoral count resolution and demanded
the previous question, and the Republi
cans refusing to vote, the House was left
without a quorum.
Mr. Bicknell then said ho would not
press tho resolution further at this tiiqc,
but would bring it up again in January,
when he could find 147 members on Ills
side of the house.
Washington, Decembor 14.—In tho
Senate, Mr. Bayard, from tho finance com
mittee, reported adversely on the bill au
thorizing the removal of tobacco in process
of manufacture. Tho bill was indefinitely
postponed.
Mr. Randolph, from the committee on
military affairs, reported with an amend
ment the bill granting the right of way
through tho United Sratcs cemetery near
Vicksburg, Mississippi, to the Memphis
and Vicksburg Rail way Company. Flaced
on the calendar.
At the expiration of the morning hour,
tho Senate resumed consideration of tho
hill for the relief of Fitz John Porter.
An amendment, in the nature of a sub
stitute, offered by Mr. Dawes, was agreed

side, Morrill and Brown spoke, the last

when it is hoped a voto will he readied
UjlOII.lt.
On motion of Mr. Cockrell, the Senate
took up tiie bill appropriating $4,750 to
pay Samuel A. Lowe for services and ex
penses as clerk of the territorial legislature
of Kansas ilk 1855. After a long debate,
tiie Senate, without action on tho hill,
went into executive session, and when tiie
doors were opened, adjourned.
In tho llouse, Mr. Baker explained tiie
E revisions of tiie fortifications bil', which
e said was, except in one poiut, identical
with that of last year. lie called atten
tion to the dcplorahlu condition of the
country’s seacoast defenses, aud said that,
in tiie event of war with a foreign power,
it would he impossible to put any of our
seacoast cities in anything liko an ade
quate condition for defense in less than
two years.
Air. Randall, of Pennsylvania, discred
ited the idea that we should have war
within the life-time of the gentleman from
Indiana.
Mr. AIcCnok said that during the first
hundred years of Us existence as a nation,
this country had sixteen yeais of war.
Mr. Reid, of Maine, said the condition
of tiie seacoast lino of defenses of the
United States, in view of the pnsperous
condition of tho country, was disgrace
ful in tho extreme. No part
of our seaboard could be successfully
defended even against a third-rate Eu
ropean power. A navy was not tho best
tiling to meet danger with, and, beside*
that, an adequate navy would cost more
than fortifications.
Mr. Ellis, of Louisiana, said tiie ships
of any foreign power could enter tho har
bor of New York in perfect safety, and
levy contributions a thousand times great
er than tho sum a3ked by tiie Chief of
Ordnance for tho manufacture ofheary
cannon. When war should break out,
there would bo no time to improvise de
fenses. War might break out at any time.
Cuban cruisers were tiring on American
ships every two or tl»rse months. He
hoped the incoming administration would
listen to no apologies, but adopt a policy
which would teach all nations, and espe
cially Spain, that tiie American flag must
be everywhere respeeted.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, favored tiie
strengthening of coast fortifications and
dwelt ou tho necessity of providing suita
ble defenses for Galveston harbor.
Mr. King also alluded to the importance
of strengthening tlic defenses of Southern
polls which might now bo entered and
destroyed ly Spanish men-nf-war.
The debato then closed aud tiie bill was
read for amendments.
Air. Johnston, of Virginia, under direc
tion of the military committee, offered
au amendment making the first section
appropriate $500,000 instead of $100,000
for strengthening tiio seacoast defenses.
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, spoke at
length in opposition to tbe amendment.
He was opposed to any increase ot appro
priations under a faucied apprehension of
war. There was uo danger ot war, and
the country might better rely on diplo
macy.
Air. Jjliuston, of Virginia, supported
the amendment. Ue thought tho couutry
should prepare for war in time of peace.
The spectacle now presented by tho har
bor defeases of tho country was disgrace
ful.
Air. Blount, of Georgia, argued against
all amendment, and agreed witli Mr.
Randall that there was no danger of war.
Foreign powers had all they could at
tend to at Rome.
Tiie amendment was further opposed
by Mr. Hill, of Ohio, and Mr. Galkins, of
Indiana, and supported by Mr. McCook,
of New York. Finally the discussion
closed and the amendment was rejected
by a vote of 90 to 00. Other amendments
were offered by Messrs. Reagan, of Texas,
Fort, of Illinois, and Ellis, of Louisiana,
but ail wore either rejected or ruled out.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House when ft was passed.
Air. Gibson, of Louisiana, from tho com
mittee on tho Mississippi levees, reported
a hill appropriating $1,800,000 for the im
provement of tne Mississippi river, which
was ordered printed and recommitted.
Adjourned.
Washington, December 15.—The bill
introduced in the Senate by Senator Pen
dleton to-day, to regulate tiie civil service,
provides that all appointments in the
several departments, with some few ex
ceptions, snail be made after open com
petitive examination. These examina
tions are to be under the direction and
management of a hoard of five commis
sioners, to he appointed by tho President
and to he known as the Civil Service Ex
amination Board. AU appointments aud
promotions are to be made In order of
merit, after duo examination, and the
hoard shall also prescribe by general rules
that misconduct or inefficiency shall con-,
slitute cause for suspension nr removal.
AU male citizens shall be eligible to ex
amination and appointment.
Washington, December 15.—The
Senate, in executive session to-day, con
firmed the nomination of Col. W. B.
Uazen, as chiefsignal officer with the rank
of brigadier general, aud of Col. Nelson
A. Miles as brigadier general.
Tho nouse committee oil Mlssisslp-
pi river levees met this morning with a full
attendance of its members. Representa
tive Gibson, of Louisiana, addressed the
committee on the subject of the Improve
ment of tho Mississippi river and levees.
During the course of his remarks,
Representative Gibson alluded to tiie
fact that much opposition to tbe
bill now pending in tiie House had
been developed, and that many who
favored the improvement scheme would
vote against tiie bill because of tho large
amount of $5,000,000 which it proposes to
appropriate, lie was of tho opiniou that the
amount proposed was greater than could
be judiciously expended, and that it
might be well, iu order to remove ob
jections and secure the passage of the bill
at this session, to reduce ihejainount.
A general discussion of tne subject en
sued, resulting in an agieemeut to fix tho
amouut at $1,800,000 to he expended by
the secretary of war, under the supervision
of the Mississippi River Couminiou, in ac
cordance with’ ’- jir plans and estimates,
and upon such » * its as they may select.
The chairman was instructed to invite tbe
Mississippi River Co omission to come be
fore tiie committee aud give their views
upon the subject.
The Continental gambling establish
ments appears to be going from bad to
worse. At Monte Carlo the police have
strict orders to search tbe grounds every
night for the bodies of suicides, aud to re
move them as quickly as possible, that
riutors may not be shocked by their re
mains. At Monaco matters see in to be
in the same state.
