Swucmtl & Mass r^ngSC* 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 that section 1730 of there- vised statute* be, and the same ia hereby repealed, and hereafter the oath to be taken by any person elected or appointed to any offloo of honor or profit, either in the civil, military or naval service, except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.

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 \ taken and the Senate .amcndinsut was \ agreed to bv yeas 101, nays 76.

An amendment by Mr. Hawley, allowing 5 per cent, on the fund to be paid to Japan, after being rejected in committee of the whole by a vote of 23 to 21, was voted down in 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.

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 Slates would be glad to tee it aooomi I pU.hed " Mr. IHftln.

I regret It for the sako of the country and on ooeount of that abomina- iblo whisky traffic.” 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 I those members. Mr. Kelley rose, and in a quavering voice asked to be permitted to make a state ment before a vote was taken on the reso- lution, which be admitted ought to be adopted, in order to preserve the dignity of rth^House^l'ermission having been granted, Mr. Kelley said: “I desire to say now, that when I look forward in a fjw brief months to tbo dose of man’s allotted period,threescore years and ten; when I remember that 1 have a son who boar* my name and other children, and a wife I have honored for nearly a third of a century: when 1 have stood here day after day and week after week hearirg a me xbor of Con gress using my name—*peaking of me by toe title of th* high office I have won by over twenty years of Cengresiiontl life—I remember thatantil this time my reputa tion for honesty and fair dealing and fidelity to the basinets of the Hoase has been unchallenged.

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 master General to await a more complete record of Ihe claim*, and that subsequently the fact wu developed by an examination of toe Gontbderuie record* that payment for the service had been made by the Con federate government in many esses if not alb He quoted from the Confederate reo- 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 lug hour to-morrow.

Ordered printed and referred to the committee on foreign relations. 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 revenue bureau, that gentleman moved to strike out the clause appropriating $1,. WfiytW0 for sal* riot and eipetets of oolTu- lor* and their deputies, la the course of hi* remarks be said it was Itated before a committee at the other end of tbe capital that the chairman of the committee on wsye and means had entered into some kind of a bargain to help the whisky men If they would help the tariff men. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, entered the chamber shortly after, and asked that the words used by Mr. White be read, as he had not beard them. White—" I will repeal the statement, sold that Miller, president of the W estern Export Association, hod stated on oath be fore the W indoor investigation oommittee that the chairman of the committee on ways ami means (Kelley) had gone Into some kind of an arrangement with tbe distillers to help each other; that they were to help the tariff men and the tariff men were to help them, and that the tariff men had seduced and then killed them.” Kelley-" I ikclre to eay that no sach sUtemeat as that was ever made by Miller or^smoother gentleman to the Windom White—“ That la a question of veradty. I heard him moke the statement myself.” Kelley—“And I denounce the sUttuswi ee the ravings of a manlae or a deliberate lie.” [ Sensation. 1 White—“Tbe gentleman may be ee drel enough to make that statement.’' Mr. Holman, of Indiana, demanded that the words be token down, and they were reported to the llmse. Then Mr. White rose epd said: “I have been inform**!that the gen tie man did not intend hia last ro- maxk to r* fer to me, anl if a° I withdraw Keltey—“It woe to the gentleman alone and_exdasiv*ty that my remark epplwd." reiterate everything I Iu the interest of peace and harmony Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, rose and read that d of Miller's testimony to which referred, but tn which Kelley's r tho House. I Urn* frankly acknowledge my 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. mm. • " *- -^v# an aooonnt e rocjnt contro versy between himself and Mr. Ktllsy, in which that gentleman hod made some re- 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.

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.
