FROM WASHINGTON.
WumxaTOx, Juno .S.-In the Bonote,
Mr, UnrlanJ. from the j oil .clary oommit-
teo, reportra m a anbatilute for the bill for
tho relief of A. Sydney Tebbe and almllar
measures, an original bill amending Mo
tion 1218 of the revised statutes in refer
ence to the disqualification of persons from
appointment to any position in the army
of the United States, and for other pur
poses. Tho bill was read at the clerk's
desk. It amends the seotlon to read: “No
person who hold a commission in the army
or navy of tho United States at the be-
Sinning of the late rebellion and resigned
his place tutd afterward served in any ca
pacity m the military, naval or civil ser
vice of the so-called Confederate States, or
of either of the StatoM iu insurrection dur
ing the rebellion, shall be appointed to any
position in the armj of the United State*.
“Section2. that section 1730 of there-
vised statute* be, and the same ia hereby
repealed, and hereafter the oath to be
taken by any person elected or appointed
to any offloo of honor or profit, either in
the civil, military or naval service, except
the President of the United States, shall be
as prescribed in section 1737 of the revised
statutes; but this repeal is not to affect the
oaths prescribed in the existing statutes
respecting special or subordinate officer*
end employes.
“Section :i That section 20 of the revised
•thtntos, imposing certain disqualifications
upon grand and petit jurors of the United
States, and section 821 of the revised stat
ute*, prescribing the oath for grand and
petit jurors in the courts of the United
States, be and the same are hereby re
pealed.”
Mr. Garland reported favorably, with
amendments, from the jadioiary commit
tee, the Senate bill to attach the parishes of
St. Mary and Iberia to tho western diitfict
of Louisiana.
Upon the completion of tho routine
business at 12:30, Mr. VanWyck moved the
consideration of his resolution Bu*peuding
rule (10, so that action may be bad upon the
confirmation or rejection of the tariff com
missioner* with open doors, inttend of in
executive session. Under the rules this res
olution was considered in seoiet session.
The Senate remained in secret session aboai
forty minutes. The discussion of the reso
lution was largely colloquial, and there
wero no long speeches. The drift of the ar
gument was that the adoption of the reso
lution wonld be an unwise dtpartnre from
the usages of the Senate, which might lead
buo ufakcx UI ure DIUOW. wim.il uiigiivicnu
to embarrassing complications in the fu
ture, and was accordingly defeated by a
vote of DOjigainst 16. The result was in no
Mnse, however, a test of the sentiment of
the Sanato in regard to the merits of tho
nominations, for a number of Senators
who are opposed to their confirmation
voted against the resolution on the grounds
above indicated. At 1:30 legislative busi
ness wa<rcsumed.
The Senate, under the Anthony rule,
took up Mr. Brown's resolution to pro-
vido a clerk for each Senntor not already
supplied with one as chairman of a com
mittee. Mr. Brown submitted a substitute
authorizing each Senator to employ a
clerk at $1,900 per annum, to be paid out
of the Senate contingent fund, and argued
iu support of his substitute. The resolu
tion finally went over, and tho Senate re
sumed consideration of the Japanese in
demnity bill, the question being upon Mr.
Morrill’s amendment to pay back in legal
coin the exact sum received from the
Japanese government, namely, $783,000.
After a discussion, in which Messrs. Mor
rill and Plumb favored it, and Messrs.
Morgan nnd Call opposed. it the amend
ment prevailed—ytas 23, nays20.
The farther debate on the bill occupied
tho remainder of tbo day’s session, and in
fis course considerable heat was shown by
lftesrs. Morgan and Ingalls. Mr. Morgan
described some of Mr. Ingalls’ statements
ns "historically untrue,” and Mr. Ingalls’
replied that there was but one orator that
-could fairly answer any statement Mr.
Morgan might make, and that was tho en
gine in tho basement of the capltol which
supplied wind to the ventilatir
tcs. Tho bill final I v went over.
On motion of Mr. Morgan, the Benate
insisted upon its amendments to the army
appropriation bill, and Messrs. Logan,
l’lumb and Ransom were appointed
ferees. Adjourned.

Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, from the oom-
mittce on appropriations, reportul back
the army appropriation bill, with Senate
amendments, recommending concurrence
in some and non-concurrenoe in others of
these amendment-. Among the amend-
menti on which non-eonoorrenoe wes leo-
ommeuded is that making army reUrwiuwnt
oompnlsory at tho ngtfWif 64 instead of 62,
as provided in the bill as it passed tbs
lions*.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, moved to ooneur.
claiming that it wasuuju*t and detrimental
to the eervioe to retire an officer at the age
of 62, regardless of his mental and physical
condition.
Mr. Butterworth opposed the Senate
amendment. General Sherman bad said
to him and to others that there was no
question at to the propriety, fitness and
necessity of the danse in tbs /ion*o bill.
Mr. McCook, of New York, declared
Genoral Sherman had never stated that
the age of 62 was the necessary age, and
argued in support of the Benate amend
ment.
Mr. McLnne, of Maryland, advocated
the Mseodment, maintaining that the
Moose provision would pot upon the retired
list men who were superior to those ni>on
the active list. Such was the case in the
navy at iho urewaul time.
After further debate by Mr. McCook, in
favor of concurrence, and by Mr. Burrows,
of Michigan, and Mr. Robaon, of New
Jersey, in opposition thereto, a vote was

the Senate by 22 to 27. The conclusion of
the committee not to par to Japan the ao-
pamulstod interest which the indemnity
had earned, was reiterated in the Senate by
of 23 to 23. Upon the passage of the
bill several of it* original advocates,among
thorn Messrs. Conger, Batler and George,
stated their opposition to it In viow of the
charges by the Senate. Mr. Sherman said
wonld vote against it because lie bdiev-
-itto be a sensational bill and thought
that tbo money was not due Japan.
Mr. Maxey believed the money belonged
to the United States by virtue of a solemn
treaty. Mr. Morgan, while yielding hie
judgment to that of the Senate npon the
question of propriety, wonld support the
measure as the best means of settlement
obtainable. Mr. Brown said he would vote

EXAMINATION OV MU. MAINE.
Tho examination of Mr. Blaine was ..
imed before the House committee on
treign affairs this morning. Before going
into the main subject* of investigation of
the affairs of the Peruvian Company, Mr.
Bl&ioe volunteered to the oymmfttoe a
statement concerning what he termed “a
complaint by the - Associated Press,” that
he had obtained or exercised tome liberties
connected with bis testimony. Ho said
they were only such as hs had nlwrtj s been
granted, and he had lesrned with much
surprise that they had lod to the removal
of the late Washington agent of the New
York Associated Prase. He then proceeded
to read to the oommittee a copy ot a letter
addressed by him to tho general agent of
the Associated Press, in which he stated
that the corrections made by him in the
report of his testimony were only “such as
were essential to accuracy, and sach ns
he, in common with other witnesses,
wonld make in the official reports of
the stenographer of the House.” He also,
* * the i eneral
'rets agent,
can not play the
dog in the manger,” and say “I won't in
tervene or let any one else either,”
Mr. Blaine wni ^sked if be desired to
mt*e any further statements, and replied
that he desired to say in reference to bis
former testimony before the oommittee
that in hie allosiou to English influence lie*
did not refer to the English cabinet but
English influence in the sense of British in
terests. He thought ihe action of the
British minister at Lima, Sir Bpenoer St.
John, was responsible iu the highest de
gree, and sooh as if he had been an Amer
ican minister, would have cost him bis
IKMitiou. Ho then stsi :•( Mutt the conduct
to which be referred wa« the preparation
by Sir Spencer St. John of a bogus treaty
between the United Btetaand Peru which
he sent to the Chilian government, and
which greatly incensed them against Hurl-
hut and the United States, aud that Huri-
but called him to task for it. and he re
plied that “it was merely a joke.” ‘‘This
reply,” -ays Mr. Blaine, “Hurlbut properly
characterized as very frivolous and an in
decent way of getting oat of a dishonora
ble transaction.”
Mr. Blaine then added, “thero is one
other point in my previous testimony upon
which I desire to make a correction. I ap
pear to have epokeu of the 'dirty Demo
cratic press.’ I should have said the dirty
portion of the Democratic press, because
nil the bitter elements of the Democratic
pres* iu discussing this subject have taken
a high and patriotic turn. If I had said a
dirty portion of the Democratictpresa and a
dirty ttortion of the Republican press, I
should have expressed mjrsulf correctly. I
do now desire to put that sentimeut on rec-
oonl.” Tho committee adjourned to 1q
STAB UOUTB CASES.
In the Criminal Court this morning Mr.
Merriok opened the proceedings with an
explanation of the oonrse be Mended to
r sue. Of the presentation of evidence,
said ho proposed to take up the routes
eeriatim, completely disposing of one route
before taking up another. Merrick offered
as evidence various certificate* and other
papers from the office of the auditor of the
Post-office Department. Objections wero
made and overruled, and exceptions rairod
by the defense to the introduction of all
C pers. Judge Wylie dispore3 of the ob-
itions summarily, and directed Merrick
to proceed, expressing the hope that more
work would be accomplished to-day than
yesterday.
Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, was then
called to the stand and sworn. He reoog-
nized the petitions for increased service
bearing his endorsement, but could not tell
after such a lapse of time, about three
years, whether the interlineations which
were specifications of complaint were in
the papers when they pasaed through his
hands. He remarked, however, that they
wero in a different hand and were writ
ten with different ink from the body
the papers.
French, the sub-contrnotor on the route
under investigation, from Kearney to
Kent, Nebraska, took tbo stand and testi
fied that the interlined words “thirteen
hoars” were not In the petition when he
circulated it or when he sent it to Washing
ton. Tils witness was cross-examined at
great ’.eugth npon the detail* of carrying
tho mails on snob as the one in question,
anil he occupied tho time to adjournment.
In this tetter, while admitting
aocarocy of the Associated Pi
their testimony. Mr. Blaine farther wrote,
“I have as little desire as I have right • r
power to interfere with the appointment I
or removal of yoar agent*, but I protest
against the assumption that I was accord
ed any privilege with my testimony, save j
that which has always been given to wit-1
nesses, and which is essential to jnstio*
and fair dealing.” The letter concluded
with the request that it be given to the
press. Mr. Blaine went on to say that no
aotioe hod been taken of this letter, but
Ihe hod understood that instructions had
been given to the Associated Press reporters
not to permit him to see the report wad* I
of his testimony. Appealing to a reporter
for a verification of this statement, the re-J
taortar replied tkatfichsii rr,*rr!il in|
[•tractions in regard to Mr. Blaine’s testi-l
tnony. Mr. Blaine thoraupon asserted I
that during his twenty years in Washing
ton he had never made a speech of much
importance in the House or Senate, or I
ever appeared as a wituess without having
the notes of the Associated Press reporter
submitted to him, and he protested that I
any instructions preventing suchoititor - j
cities of corrections of error* would be
tiraty unjust.
■j Chairman Williams colled Mr. Blaine’s
■tontton to passages in the printed teeti-
[mony of Robert E. Randall relative to the
Credit Industrial. Mr. Blaine, in sub-
stance, stated that Randall, who was an at-1
ter stranger to him (witness), first ip-1
proechftt him in February, 1881; sent Ms
card t# witness in,the Senate chamber and
began a conversation on the assamptiou
that he (witness) was to be a member of
President Garfield's cabinet. He (witness)
waived the assumption, however, and, as I
far as poislbl*, the conversation. Witness
has no reason to believe that Uamlall would
intentionally misrepresent him,but no such I
conversations os be (Randall) has testified
|in regard to ever took place. He (witness)
did not look upon Randall as a person
wi'h whom to tlismm the affairs of the
Credit Industrial. Count D* Montferrand,
a gentleman of high standing, was their
direct representative, and both lie and
Suarez had Ucn very persistent iu pressing
the objects of the company upon the atten
tion or the State Department. Mr. Blaine
then gave the purport of bis first interview
with Count De Mont (errand, in which the
latter distinctly stated that the Credit In
dustrie! proposed to furnish money to uay
any indemnity which might be demanded
of Peru by Chili, mid to satisfy the bond-1
holders of Peru, provided that the United
States would aocord a protectorate which
should guarantee to the company on un
disturbed right to ship from Peru the pro-
duets of the guano and nitrate beds for a I
term of year. “This,” eaul Mr. Blaine,
I **was the plan of the Credit Industrial. I
don't think .t ho* ever been tally
understood by the people of the Ur*"* I
States or by the newspapers which
have been continually oom plaining thatfj
thwarted the plans of the company. ■
don’t eee bow any Intelligent America*
citizen could advocate the adoption of
■ach a policy by this government. I told
Count De Montferrand that the action I
whieh he desired this government to take
wee wholly iuadmtoiblc. I assured him
that this government did not desire to ob
struct his company if they could suoceed
ia affording relief to Peru; that the United J

Mr. Springer, of Illinois, then offered a
resolution reciting the lanmsge nsed.by
Messrs. Kolley and White, declaring that
Jaoguuge to be disorderly and destrnetivj
J>f the dignity and honor of the House, and
directing tho Speaker to reprimand both

Mr. Kelley rose, and in a quavering voice
asked to be permitted to make a state

lution, which be admitted ought to be
adopted, in order to preserve the dignity of

liberal contribution of flowers, which were
tastefully arranged and festooned over the
all, the *tage reoelving a lavish share.
The programme won opened, with the
Grand Duke March, in which Mieses Comp,

the piano, and Misses Wright and Stevens
at the organ.
Prayer wu then offered by Rev. George
proceeding with the bill wu you 80, nays

voting “no” with tb* Republicans. Mr.

the Confederate State* by disloyal con
tractors, who violated their ooctraeta with
tho government by taming over to

He reviewed the history of the claim
to show that after ite passage through a
former Cougross under Democratic auspi
ces, payments were withheld by the Post

ords in support of his objections to the
bill, showing that in the spring of 1862 the
rebel government appropriated $800,000 to
i>ay the claims;* that about the same time
South Carolina voted $50,000 for the same
purpose. He further objected that tho bill
contained none of the limitations of the
original bill appropriating $376,000. nor of
the one of 1878, which wu overwhelmingly
defeated In tbo House, and that it virtually
approved an anlimited amount.
Mr. Maxey rose to reply, bat as only
few minutes remained of fha morning
hour he yielded to the suggestions of
members around him and deferred hie re
marks until the bill ie resumed in the morn

A message wu received from the Presi

After a long struggle for precedence of
bills, the House bonded spirit* bill wa«
taken np by a vote of 86 to 21, and the Sen
ate finance committeo substitute was read.
The substitute was reported to the Senate
on the 26th nlJmo. It was originally pre
pared by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue with a view to better guarding the
revenue with respect to evaporation
and leaking. Messrs. Bayard, Vest, WU-
lisms, Brown and Sherman debated the
bill. Finally, without action, the Senate
went into executive section and soon ad
journed.
The morning hour having been dispensed
with, the House, at UdQ, went into oom
mittee of the whole (Mr. Robinson, of
Massachusetts, in the chair) on the legisla
tive, executive and judicial appropr ation
bill. Unanimous consent having bean
given a few days ago that Mr. White, of
Kentucky, should have tbe privilege of
going bask for the purpose of amendment
to the paragraphs relative to the internal

strike out the clause appropriating $1,.

Mr. Holman, of Indiana, demanded that

transgression. I do not plead for mercy.
I do regret that I should have shocked the
ears of my brethren on this floor and tho
sense of propriety of the country; but in
doing this I say thic; I am an old man
and a man of peaoe. but I will tolerate, in
violation of all rules of order and de
mands from the presiding officer of this
House, no such outrage on my character
and the fair fame of my family without re
senting it os best I can—and this is in
words.” [Applause.]
McLane, of Maryland—“I cannot regard
the observations of the gentleman from
Pennsylvania as anything bat a public ac
knowledgment of his error, and for one I
cannot consent to reprimand or censure
any honorable gentleman who (acknowl
edge* his fault and makes to the House eo
full and so amide on apology.” [Ap-
‘■“^.‘iilln of Texas, said that while the
House owed it to itself to maintain ite dig
nity, every member owed to himself the
maintenance of his own honor and reputa
tion. When one member rose aud charged
that another had been guilty of a dishonor
able and corrupt bargain, he most expect
a retort each as has dropped from the Up*
of the gentleman from Pennsylvania. He
(Mills) wonld not vote to censors that hon-
orableold man simply because he had nsed
language that was not recognized as par
liamentary. He therefore moved to strike
Mr. KeUey'e name from the resolution of
oensnre.
Mr. White then rose to make an explana<
tion. “No one regrets,” he said, “xaoro
than I what has occurred, and I regret ex
ceedingly that sufficient provocation
should have been given for me to make
the Ktatementthat I did; but when I hear a
witness swear, and when I undertake to
repeat what I know that he said, 1 do not
like one to call me hard names. I must
reply iu some way, and I replied in tha
kildeat language I knew how.” Mr.

flections on his sanity. “He referred.”
continued Mr. White, “to misfortunes in
my family. Tho papers of his town ex
tended his remarks in a most unscrupu
lous and untruthful way, and when he to
day onnonncod that either 1 was a lunatic
or a liar, I think any fair m*n wonld ex
pect me to resent it. I said that th* gen
tleman ‘may be a scoundrel.’ 1 did not
say that he was, and I npolagizo folly to
tbe House and country for having been
driven to make each a reply, and on ac
count of tbe gentleman’s age, 1 make a
bow to him also.”
Mr. Kelley said that he was Incapable of
making any allusions tn the gentleman's
family. Tbe story he had told the other
day waa a piece of Mr. Cox’s witticism,
and when he told it he had not heard whnt
the gentleman from Kentucky snppoeodi
he had alluded to.
In view of thc»e apologies Mr. Springer
withdrew his resolution, and the matter
was dropited. Th* House than again went
into committee. Mr. Miles, of Texas, of
fered an amendment providing that no
E art of the contingent fond appropriated
y this bill shall be expended in the pay
ment of clerks am ploysd by Senators and
members of Congress. Adopted.
Mr. Cox, of New York, offered an arnand-
meat prohibiting the payment of any
money hereby appropriated to Jay A. Hub-
bell, or other members of tbs Republican
Congressional committee (naming them),
to assist Republican candidates for Con
gress in th* ensuing election. [Ur- 1 -*— 1

Tbo amendment was ruled out. The
committee then roes, and the bill, having
been reported to tbe House, was passed—

Mr. O’NsuI, of Pennsylvania, from tbe
committee on appropriations, reported tbe
invalid pension* appropriations bill, and
it was referred to the oommittee of tbe
whole. The total amount appropriated Is
$100J»0,009.
The Speaker announced the appointment

WITH THE PICT VUES'.
Tbe Collection that Urmcetl the Walls
of the Collego Chapal.
Taking advantage of a loll in the pro
ceedings nt Woslojan, oar reporter spent
an hoar in the chapel on Monday last, and
enjoyed a rapid run over the many pictures
and specimens of China decorations which
adorned tbe walla of the building daring
commencement exercises.
It wonld have teken a fall day to give
each picture a good, close look. Many of
them were of a high order of merit; indeed,
one or two of them approaehed a degree
of excellence seldom foand anywhere oot-
•ide of a regular aohool of design.
These picture* wero the productions of
the scholars under the direction of Miss M.
E. Mason, of the oollege, and were beauti
ful evidence of the superior teaching of
that talented lady. Of oonrse they wero
not perfect—it would be absurd to say so
—but they displayed talent which only
constant application and a masters direc
tion are required to develop and bring out
the true artist.
Knowing this, there was no attempt at
criticism. The most beautiful pioture in
the collection is fanlty in iwrspcctive. and
yet it would be unfair to name it here,
hence we give a list qf the picture* and of
thestadenU. It will be seen that quite a
number have “objeet drawing*.” It should
be explained that these consist of offhand
drawings of sach objects as are generally
found in a studio, sach as plaster easts of
arms, band*, feet, cubes, vases, urns, etc.;
still, the student* are not cob fined to tlfeee
particular models. Tfcey oan take any ob-
, « ct, such as a flower, glove, eto. We no-
tiewd on oil painting of a writing desk, with
an old letter lying carelessly by.
Among the larger oil paintings, perhaps
that of “lantallon Castle,” which teems
,to be a favorite subject with the students,
by Mia* CeneUla Bower, and her “After the
Btorm” were among the beat, though Mias
Minnie Barron’s “Smithing in Winter” is
not only a handsome bnt a skillful piece
of work. Bat to the list:
