FROM WASHINGTON.
Washi soios, June 20 —In tho Senate, Mr.
Brown introduced n bill appropriating
$75,000 for a postoffico end custom house
building at Brunswick, Ga. Referred to
the committee on publio bnlldio^s.
Mr. Allison, from the appropriations
oommittee, reported back the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill,
with amendments, and gavo notioo that he
would move its o nsideration to-morrow.
It provides for an aggregate of $20,200,000,
being an increase of $220,000 over the
amount of the bill as passed by the House.
The bill, with sundry tables showing- the
changes mads by the Senate committee,
was ordered printed.
Mr. Hale presented the conference re
port on the West Point military appropri
ation bill. Read and adopted.
Mr. Pendloton moved to take np his res
olution c ncerniug political assessments.
‘ After tom opposition the resolution was
taken up. It instructs the committee on
civil service aud retrenchment to inquire
whether any attempt is being made to
levy or ooileet assessments for political
purposes from government employes ' |
J etc. Mr. Pendleton then read and
commented in detail npon each of its state
ments, to show that the nndenied purposo
was to levy contributions on government
employes under the guise of a demand for
voluntary contributions. At two o'clock
the debate on the political assessment res
olutions was temporarily suspended, and a
resolution from the House providing for a
final adjournment on Jnly 10th was briefly
considered. The faot was developed that
the Senate was decidedly indisposed to Ax
ing a day in the present condition of busi
ness, and the resolution was laid npon the
table to await further progress os the appro
priation bilis. The discussion of the polit
ical assessments resolution was renewed.
BOUSE.
Mr. Crapo,of Massachusetts, asked leave
to take from the Speaker's table the bank
charter bill for the purpose of non-concur
ring in the Senate amendments thereto.
Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, objected.*
Mr. Bctterwortb, of Ohio, submitted the
conference report on the army appropria
tion bill, and it was agreed to.
Mr. Forney, of Alabama, introduced a
bill authorizing the East aud West Rail
road Company of Alabama to construct a
bridge across t^e Coora river.

portion of Mr. VanVoorhis's remarks he
111 .!«• Ml attack upon Mr. Keag-ui, of
characterizing his conduct as
■-he iking" and “theac-ti-ntioii of tin- g»*u
tlem&n from Texas is of ineffable mean
ness."
Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, immediately
demanded that the words be taken down,
and offered a resolution declaring that the
language used was unparliamentary, aud
should receive the censure of tho Home.
VanVoorhie quickly withdrew the offensive
remarks, claiming that he did not know
that they were unparliamentary, whe-e-
npon IlammonJ, with ill coucenled sar
casm, stating that it would be crnel under
such circumstances to press the resolution,
withdrew it, and Reagan took the floor to
to reply to Mr. VanVoorhie.
Mr. Bengsn expressed his amazement
that the gentleman from New York, in-
Ktes.i of in-eting the -t»u. o.-iit presented
by tM committee, had chosen to go out of
his way to attempt to make an Issue with
him (Reagan), aud to charge that he had
caused newspaper publications to be made,
and was endeavor ing to persecute him. Ho
knew enough of propriety to know that it
would not be proper to give to tho nee spa-
per* the contemplated action of the com
mittee on a subject like this. He had never
said a word that could bs need against the
gentleman from New York, nor had he
ever committed an act that oould in the
most remote degree excuse or justify the
gentleman’s oourse. 'Ihis morning the gen
tleman admitted his part of the transaction,
and then undertook to cast odium upon him
(Reagan),because (as was asserted) bo
nided him iu executing bis purpose, so
that, if his otatement were true, its legiti
mate and logical result would be to make
him (Reagan) infamous along with him
self. The gentleman hed said that on Satur
day, the 17th, they bad talked over the pro
visions of the bill before the committee
and the bill as the gentleman desired that it
should pass. It was exceedingly unpleasant
to hove to squarely contradict any
body, but he was obliged to *»y that
the gentleman came to him Saturday and
civil appropriation Mil.. Ordered printed
aud reoimmitted. Mr. Neal, of Ohio, then
claimed the floor for the oommittee on the
District of Columbia, and the considera
tion of district basinets was proceeded with.
At 2:15 the District committee yielded the
floor an-1 the Uouso went into committee
of tho whole on the bill to reduce internal
reventfo taxes.
The content over the bill was close anil
animated. Amendment after amendment
wra3 offered and voted down, the greatest
number being upon provisions affecting
tobacco and spirit-. An amendment was
adopted redacing the tax on cigars to four
dollars per thousand, and on cigarettes CO
aeveutv-flve cents per thousand. Mr. Cox
offered an amendment prohibiting politi
cal assessments npon officers engaged In
executing the tax revenue laws. Ruled out
on a point of order. The debate through
out was very sharp, and at times personal
but good natured. Finally the committee
rose aud the previous question was ordered
on the bill and amendments, thus ensuring
their ooming up to-morrow m unfinished
business. The matter they went over. At
7:20 the House adjourned.

The Navy Department haa received from
Engineer Melville, of the Jeannette, a de

was issued to the men in half ounce doses.
On tho 1'Jth Nindorman and Noras were

of those men is already known. Occa

On the 28ta Iverson lie J, and on the -.mi

entry is that Royd amt Gariy died duriog

the last entry of DeLoug. Shortly after
this entry DeLong, Surgeon Ambler nnd
the Chinaman cook, Sam, must have died.
Throughout tho record is chronicled the
growing weakness of tho survivors and
vitir constant tope for sucoor through the
deaired to talk about the bill. He was
busy at the time and the gentleman went
away, and the subject of the bill waa not
mentioned between them. Why the gen
tleman should go so far back in order to
construct an argument to Justify bis con
duct might be apparent at the bottom,
while it was not apparent on the surface.
It was sufficient to say that the gentleman
brought him the bill with the statement
that it was the committee bill.
The gentleman had critieiaed
him for not knowing the contents of the
trill he offered. He thanked God that his
experience bad been with men whom he re
garded ns truthful. He had recognized
American citizens, he is authorized to de
mand their release, nnd if it is delayed or
refused ho shall resort to anoh measures nr
he may thin* proper to effect their release.
Mr. Robinson wna (hen accorded tho
floor for seven minutes, but he contemptu
ously declined to make use of Diem. He
said ho had documents by him which should
bring a blush of shame to to** faoeof over]!
American. He could show that for a hun
dred days the President had been on bis
knees before Lord Granville, andthat Lord
Granville was -pitting in his face and in
sulting tho nation by refusing to listen to
his prajers. 1 here was r.!!^.,i
and nonsense sent to Lord Granville to tell
him that the House was not in earnest.

treasonous as over was spawned from
th" \••ruin tint \\'atlii!i_’'.i)ii hunt. <1 in
*"76, including an ancestor of James Rus-
11 Lowell, win* wns a Tory, had been .-cut
i Lord Granville, telling him the House
was not in earnest. He expressed his con
tempt for the rail* aud WAter resolution of
the committee, declaring that the House
had not sufficient courage to adopt a reso
lution which would show whether the BriL
i*h lion's tail should be wrenched, or ihe
American eagle's ne« k wrung.
The resolution was adopted. Mr. W’U-
son offered the resolution of which ho had
given cotloe, and it was also adopted.
The Uouso at 11:45 went into committee
l the whole (Mr. Page, of California, in
tho chnir) on th© naval appropriation bill.
Mr. Robeson,of New Jersey,who had chargo
of tbo bill, briefly reviewed its general
features, lie called attention to the fact
that it contemplated a large reluctionia
tho military and civil service of the navy.
The difficulty in the past had been that
(he civil e-UbluhiiU'nt had c mi-miii. ,1
the greater part of tho appro
priations made for tho sorvioe,
and left bat little for the material increase
and maintenance of tho navy. Tho ser
vice was too top heavy. It must take med
icine if it waa to be relieved, Tho com-
mittee on appropriationi had «V endea7-
ored to put the service in the way of great
future economy by recommending a con-
(fi gentleman as truthful. If ho had to
look upon every member aa attempting to
cheat and defraud, he oould give faith to
nothing unless it waa proven,

gentleman had leveled his attacks upon
him. Perhaps the gentleman thought
that by attacking the ex postmaster-gen-
eral of tho Confederacy ho oould excite
I>olitical prejudice.” Mr. Reagan con
tinued nt some length, squarely denying
many of VanVoorhis’s allegations.
At the conclusion of Mr. Reagan’s re
marks, wh ch were very severe upon Mr.
VanVoorhis’s action, the House passed,
without a division, the bill to regulate im
migration, aa agreed upon by tho commit-
tee on commerce, and then nrooeeJed to
the consideration of tho bill to reduce
internal revenue taxation. A motion to
recommit the bill, with instructions
to tho committee on ways and menus to
report a bill abolishing all internal taxa
tion except that on bank circulation ana
dis'illedspirits,was defeated—yeas 57, nays
125. The bill was then passed—yeas 127,
nays 8(1. It abolishes the tax on bank
checks, capital and deposi §, matches and
perfumery and proprietary medicines, re
duces the special license* tax on tobacco
dealer* and reduce* to four dollar* the tax
on cigars and cigaret.es weighing more
than threo pounds per thousand, nnd to
seventy-five cents tax on cigarettes weigh
ing less than three pounds per thousand.
The bank charter bill having been
reachod, most of tho Senate amendments
were concurred in, includ ng that author
izing the Becretanr of the Treasury to ex
change 2 per cent, bonds for 3>{ per cents.

WoanuoTox, June 27.—The Senato In
the morning hour took op tho legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill,
the bill having precedence unior the rules.
No attempt was made to resume the discus
sion upon the political As.*c«sment* or that
upon bankruptcy measures, and the items
of expenditure were conjidcred paragiaph
by paragraph.
The Senate, after disposing of sixty-eifht
-of the HQ pages of the bill, informally laid
it aside until to-monow. Tho noose MU
to regulate immigration was read and re

tans.
The oommittee rose informally, in order
to fix some limitation upon general de
bate. There was a strong disposition to
debate the measure at some length.
Mr. O'Neil, of Pennsylvania, declaring
that it uproled ard naught to destroy the
navy, advocated a long discussion, while
Mr. Bowman, of Massachusetts, thought
that tho House should be permitted to dis-
cm a bill which, instead of being on ap
propriation bill with legislation engrafted
npon it, might more property be termed a
legislative bill with nn appropriation en
grafted upon it, changing as it did many
of the vital principles regarding the navy.
It waa finally agreed that general debate
should close to-morrow at 2 o'clock.
The Hoa«e again wont into committee
and took np the naval bill, and a general
attack on th) bill began upoa the line in

disagreed to others of the Senate amend
ments. Mr. Beck moved to referthe bUl to
the finance committee, in order that new
provisions, which be thought essential,
might be inserted in the btU. Herald a
communication received to-day from the
Treasury Department showed that the di
rectors of the Merchants’ National Bonk
and the National Bank of Virginia, In Rich
mond, had been permitted by the Comp
troller of the Currency to violate the na
tional banking law in the oath subscribed
to by them ana filed with him, as to th* rate
detail, said he believed that
hand and cunning of a master workman waa
displayed not only in the preparation of
the bill (It was prepared by Mr. Robeson),
but in the selection of the time to present
it to the House. Beneath all of this spe
cious display there lay the autocracy of the
Secretary of tho Navy, which, unchecked,
would resurrect and revive tho dangerous
disregard and violation of the law which
characterized and di*graoed the adminis
tration of the Navy Department form 187i
to 1877. Congress wsa cnlled upon to
oompleta the monitor* commenced by that
administration, in utter disregard cf the
law,- but there were no measures taken in
the bill to protect the interests of the gov*
eminent. The Secretary of the Navy was
given powers which would be most dsn-
gerons, il he should be corrupt—il (sarcas
tically) it were possible to have a corrupt
secretary.
He then proceeded to make a vehement at
tack upon Mr. Robeson’s administration
of tho navy department, asserting that
daring that administration over $51,000,-
000 bad been squandered, and quoting
many statistics to indorse his assertion,and
bear evidence to tbo abuses which ho in
sisted were practiced by the Secretory and
his beads of bateau. Returning toa disc as-
sion of the question as to the propriety of
completing tha monitors, he contended
that If completed they would be fonnd to
hnro cost in money and material *600,OCO,-
000 each and woald then be utterly worth
less.
